Rides for seniors has two-way benefitsBetter at Home program to get rolling in September
The transportation portion of the newBetter at Home program offering assistanceto seniors is expected to provide a two-waystreet of benefits.
First, Jacqueline Guyda said she willnot take a chance with her health any moreby putting off making a trip to her doctorbecause she doesn’t drive or have access toconvenient and affordable transportation.
And volunteer driver Martin Chester willget the satisfaction of knowing he helpedsomeone out.
Transportation is just one of the servicesthe Better at Home program will providewhen it gets rolling in September. Locally,Volunteer Richmond will run the United Wayand provincially funded program, which willalso offer friendly visiting, and light house-keeping to be launched in the months follow-ing.
Both the transportation and housekeep-ing programs will charge a modest fee withsubsidies available for low-income clients likeGuyda who said when her husband died fiveyears ago, it left her feeling stranded.
“He used to take me everywhere. Andwhen he passed away, I didn’t know where toturn, or what to do,” she said. “I don’t havefamily, no children. So, I don’t have anyone todrive me around.
“I come from London, England, and Inever drove there because the transportationwas very different — much better than here.So, I never learned to drive. That was a bigmistake.”
It’s a situation many local seniors can findthemselves in, said Elizabeth Specht, execu-tive director of Volunteer Richmond.
“These services will give Richmondseniors the option of living independently
while still staying connected to the commu-nity,” Specht said.
It will be a lifeline for Guyda, who can’talways afford subsidized taxis, and doesn’ttrust the public transit system following anincident.
Guyda said she was assaulted while wait-ing for a bus when an attacker tried to makeoff with her purse.
“I haven’t been on a bus since,” she said.“That’s got to be about five years ago. It’s not
the transport, it’s when you get older you’remore observant of people and it can be scarywhen you start wondering if the person acrossfrom you is looking at your purse.”
Trips to doctor’s appointments will makeup the bulk of her use of the new program.
“I don’t like going to the doctor too muchanyway, but sometimes you really have to go,”Guyda said.
A developer is this weekhosting two open houses as itprepares to once again convincethe city to rezone an area ofSteveston.
The Onni Group has appliedto the city to rezone its waterfrontImperial Landing properties,which are almost complete.
At present, the area is zonedcommercially for only maritime-related businesses.
Onni wants to change that tocreate “a more complete com-munity that reflects the valuesof our neighbours and welcomesresidents and visitors to ImperialLanding and the Steveston area,according to a website dedicatedto the rezoning.
In the past, the developer has
indicated it would prefer to havethe likes of a gym, grocery storeand pharmacy on the groundfloors of its six low-rise buildingsalong Bayview Street.
City council has still to decideon the rezoning, but has knockedback the request several times inthe past ten years.
The open houses will be heldat Building 5, Imperial Landing,4280 Bayview St. on Thursday,
July 11 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. andthen Saturday, July 13 from noonto 2:30 p.m.
Onni has faced stiff re-zoningopposition in the past from localresidents, some of who struck upa petition against it last year.
One of the aspects of thepotential rezoning is whether ornot the local community needsor wants the services being sug-gested by Onni.
Onni hosts more open houses ahead of Steveston rezoning

environmental concerns.“I was not speaking as
a trustee and I believe I’mentitled to an opinion,”Chiu said of the criticism.
“And as far as theenvironment is concerned,I have energy-saving lightbulbs all over my house,I installed water-savingtoilets personally andmy family are heavy intorecycling; we recycleeverything.”
Chiu added that he’sthe trustee who’s pushingthe school district intousing as little paper aspossible.
The school board’s“code of ethics” doesn’tdeal with specifics ofwhat a trustee can or can-not say.
But Chiu’s regularappearance on a talkshow calls into questionjust how far the likes ofan elected trustee can go,particularly as they gov-ern the field of education.
Former long-timeschool board memberSandra Bourque saidtrustees can do or sayanything they want — butthere may be a price topay.
“At times, you maydiminish your effective-ness as a school trusteewhen you continuallypromote a certain party’spoint of view,” saidBourque.
“When I was speakingon issues outside of beinga trustee, I tended to tonedown my views.
“If (Chiu) is promotingsomething that’s contraryto the board’s policy, thenthat’s a problem.
“He’s entitled to hisopinions, of course. Butyou have to be careful aswell.”
Bourque said it’simportant for trusteesto remember they’re incharge of an environ-ment that’s shaping youngminds or risk losinganother precious com-modity — credibility.
“I tried not to be toovociferous when I was atrustee,” she said.
“People have the rightto speak out and offeropinions, but it can havenegative repercussionsdown the line if they wantto be taken seriously.”

And when he provides a ride, it comescourtesy of his roomy, vintage Mercedes-Benz sedan. “I call it the ‘ponderous Panzer.”
So, what was his motivation to volunteer?“It keeps me going. I have things to do
every day. And I get to help people, as well,”he said. “Retirement sort of looms, and youthink what am I going to do?”

Specht: Volunteers are the heart, soul
Richmond RCMP aretrying to piece together howa man suffered two stabwounds to his chest earlyTuesday morning in theCambie/Shell Road area.
RCMP spokesperson Sgt.Cam Kowalski said the vic-tim was not cooperating withpolice, nor were witnesses.
The man’s injuries werenot considered life-threaten-ing and was transported to
hospital. Kowalski said initialinformation indicated anincident took place at around6:30 a.m. and possiblyinvolved the nearby HolidayInn Vancouver Airport.
Meanwhile, RichmondRCMP were puzzled Mondaynight after responding to ahome invasion report.
Kowlaski said a 911 callwas received from a homeon Elmbridge Way at around
11 p.m. Two females saidthe residence had been bro-ken into and items had beenstolen. But when officersarrived on the scene, the pairof victims denied calling.
Officers examined thescene and did not find anyindications of a forced entry.Once the police concludedtheir interviews, the womenboarded a flight for Taiwan

NewsStreet meat connoisseurs could soon enjoy more vendors
Look for the sidewalks aroundNo. 3 Road and WestminsterHighway to possibly get a little morecrowded before the end of summer.
That’s when more street vendorsare hoped to be in place for the city’spilot project that so far has had justone business set up shop — Japadog.
A second EOI (Expression ofInterest) was recently set forth toattract other vendors. The deadline tosubmit an application is July 19.
In March, it was announced atotal of three vendors were going totest the area’s foot traffic: Japadog,Falso Philly Steak and The RichmondHospice Association, which plannedto sell fresh cut flowers.
The hospice society’s executivedirector Pat Miller said its tableshould be out by the end of July aftergetting bogged down in some smalldetails that have delayed its debut.
Miller said the table is planned tobe set up just on Fridays from 2 to6 p.m. and will be staffed by volun-teers. “We’re excited by the project
and glad we are participating in it,”she said.
City spokesperson Ted Townsendsaid there is optimism the remainingspaces will be occupied, and havinga vendor such as Japadog already upand running has drawn the attentionof other businesses.
Townsend declined to say howmany new businesses have showninterest. He was also reluctant toreveal any names of potential ven-dors. But one business owner not shyto express his interest is Dougie Luv,owner of Dougie Dog.
Luv said he would have liked tobe part of the initial group of ven-dors, but only got wind of the pro-gram too late to apply.
This time, though, Luv is going tothrow his hat in the ring and wouldlike to park his food truck on one ofthe corners.
So, with Japadog across the streetalready, is Richmond in for a hot dogstreet fight?
“It’s two different markets,” Luvsaid, adding his food truck’s menuis broader, offering French fries andpoutine.

Little Sunshine crowned
STEVESTON SECONDARY
The short list of developers for theSteveston secondary site got shorter lastTuesday. Richmond School Board membershave narrowed it down to three potentialapplicants.
“They were all very high calibre, and Iwas very impressed with all of them,” saidboard chair Donna Sargent.
The board will convene for a summermeeting on July 22 to consider the three sub-missions.
Last month, five residential developerswere chosen over a dozen who applied tobuild on the 13-acre site along No. 2 Road.
Board members based their criteria onvalue (financial compensation the districtwould receive), vision (for the neighbour-hood that takes into account its surroundings)and voice (ensuring the residents have a say).
“Voice was really important because we
really want a developer who will engagewith the community and work with the citybecause the next phase is the rezoning,” saidSargent.
Once a developer has been chosen, theprocess will be open to rounds of publicconsultation. The site will also have to berezoned by the city, according to Sargent,which is currently only designated for educa-tional purposes.
The Ministry of Education approved thesale of the land in April, and since then theboard has been working with private devel-opers and the city to find an eligible buyer.
It was previously determined that the landof the former Steveston secondary schoolwas no longer needed for educational pur-poses due to a projected lack of growth inthe area.
The district hopes to use the moneyreceived from the sale towards a new schoolin the fast-growing city centre, estimated tocost around $40 million.
When Jayden Woo said he wanted to be a modelwhen he grows up, he wasn’t joking.
After striking a few poses on stage, four-year-oldJayden sparked rapturous applause.
And, not longafter that, he washanded the title of BoyChampion of LittleSunshine 2013 — anannual competitionrun for Chinese-speak-ing kids by FairchildRadio.
The contest pro-vides local talentedyoungsters the oppor-tunities to star inChinese films, TVcommercials andphoto shoots.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Take a deep breath. Your hydro rates are going up. Thatwas the word from Energy Minister Bill Bennett this week,citing years of infrastructure investment coupled withrelatively small increases brought on by his government inprevious years.
But the increase in rates is a small annoyance whencompared with the jolt we got from some of the other rev-elations about Hydro this week — pun fully intended.
An internal audit of the Crown corporation found itwas completely unprepared to deal with a natural disaster.Portions of the province would be left in the cold and darkfor months if they were to be hit by a catastrophic eventlike the earthquake our scientists always remind us is com-ing.
Perhaps the impending price hike wouldn’t be so bad ifwe knew it was going to pay for a system that will be therefor us when we need it.
Or perhaps it would go down easier if we knew ongoinginfrastructure projects like Northwest Transmission Linewere going to be completed reasonably close to its $404-million budget, and not the $736 million it is projected atthis week.
This while government is ready to open its wallet for theSite C dam project, which is projected at $8 billion, andwe still don’t know the real long-term cost of the dozens ofindependent power project contracts Hydro has signed.
So, raise the rates if it will keep the juice flowing, butBC Hydro badly needs to get its house in order if we don’twant to go back to burning whale oil for warmth and light.

One of the country’s toppolling firms has investigat-ed how it got the B.C. elec-tion forecast so wrong andhas concluded one factorlooms larger than any other:the low turnout of youngpeople casting ballots.
Angus Reid PublicOpinion re-examined all itspolling and its methodologyand concluded that, morethan anything else, the factyoung people don’t votenearly in as large numbersas older people skewed aseries of polls.
Forget theories about lastminute vote-switching orgeneral low voter turnout,pollster Angus Reid says ina five-page summary of hisfirm’s internal investiga-tion. Instead he found “thatalmost all of the discrep-ancy with our poll boileddown to one issue: low turn-out among young voters.”
Young voters are definedas being under the age of35. They make up roughly30 per cent of the popula-tion, but only about 15 percent of those who actuallycome out and vote.
Reid’s analysis con-cluded that, had he made anappropriate adjustment tobetter reflect the make up ofthose who actually vote, hislast poll would have showeda three per cent lead for theNDP (in other words, a sta-tistical dead heat given themargin of error).
He rightly notes thatpublishing such a findinga week before voting daymay well have changed themedia reporting on the cam-paign narrative, and predic-
tions of an NDP landslidewould have been replacedwith a too-close-to-calltheme in news coverage.
Ironically, the series ofpolls by Reid and othersthat misleadingly showedthe B.C. Liberals far, farbehind the NDP for theentire campaign may havehelped Christy Clark’scampaign “by energizingher base to get out and votein order to beat back, asW.A.C. Bennett famouslycalled them in 1972, the‘socialist hordes’,” Reidwrites in his analysis.
I think there is consider-able truth in that conclusion.Senior NDP officials andcandidates have told methey ran into a significant“fear factor” on the door-step among many voters asthe campaign wound down.
“They weren’t happywith the Liberals, but theywere afraid of us,” one topparty official told me. “Weremain vulnerable on thatpoint and probably alwayswill be vulnerable.”
Reid, who has a longtrack record of accurateelection polling, says he willchange his firm’s pollingmethodology in the wakeof the problems exposed bythe recent election. Youngpeople will have to be“weighted” in the polling
sample that is proportionalto actual voters rather thanthe general population.
Apparently, this is aproblem that is unique toB.C. Other jurisdictionsdon’t seem to have the samelevel of disinterest in youngpeople when it comes tovoting.
As a political journal-ist, I’ve relied on Reid’spolls since the mid-’80s forproviding both an accuratesnapshot of public opinionand a context on which tobase political analysis. Withthe notable exception of theMay 14 election, he’s alwaysbeen right.
In his analysis, Reid sayshe considered pulling outof polling altogether, whichwould have significantimplications for politicaljournalism.
However, Reid has con-cluded that since corpora-tions, special interest groupsand political parties are stillvery much involved in poll-ing, it is important that non-partisan companies suchas his continue their ownpolling.
People may not likepublic opinion polling (par-ticularly when their findingsclash with their own views)but it is an important part ofour democratic process. It’sgood to know that pollsterslike Reid are going to makechanges to ensure theirfindings are more accurate.
Now, if we can just getthose young people to actu-ally get out and vote.

The Editor,Re: “Keep lands accessible,” Letters, July 5.I appreciated Floyd Murphy’s thoughtful discourse on
the Garden City Lands. I agree with Mr. Murphy.While everyone was talking about what we should do
with the Garden City Lands, and even council was holdingan open house to invite ideas on what to do with the lands,my opinion has always been to “do nothing.”
When we see a piece of green, open, land, why do wefeel that we must do something to it? Have we stopped toconsider that maybe the current state is already an excel-lent state?
Our family nicknamed the Garden City Lands the“Lungs of Richmond.”
It is the vast open living green field in which Richmondbreathes to rejuvenate from the lifeless concrete, cement,vinyl and asphalt we have slapped all over Richmond.
We enjoy watching the ground cover plants slowly growin the spring, become taller and taller in the summer, thenmowed in late fall. That is when the lands get its annualhaircut. This cycle takes place year after year.
The Garden City Lands is a green field smack in thecentre of Richmond where your eyes can relax its musclesand your view stretches undisturbed all the way fromWestminster to Alderbridge, from Garden City to No. 4Road.
Why is there a desperate need to disrupt this expanse?Not many cities have the luxury of having a piece of vast,green, open land right in its centre.
Richmond is so fortunate to have it. How about leavingthis precious green space alone? In the case of the GardenCity Lands, I say “hands off ” rather than “hands on.”

The Editor,Thanks to the quick action and co-operation between
RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Teamin B.C., CSIS, RCMP and other law enforcement agencies, amajor tragedy has been averted from happening.
All of these agencies must be commended for preventingcarnage in our provincial capital on Canada Day.
It is hard to imagine why two Canadian-born and bredsuspects would allegedly plan to kill and injure innocentCanadians celebrating this country’s birthday with a greatdeal of enthusiasm.
If these individuals are found guilty (and it should benoted they have only been charged and have yet to have a fairtrial) this goes to show no community or country is safe fromfanatics with twisted minds. Thank God the dedicated profes-sionals charged with the safety and security of this nation andits citizens are pro-active, vigilent, alert and on the ball.

The Editor,When you remove a shopping cart from the store property,
it is actually stealing. Would you steal one bike per day?Some of our city residents are stealing one shopping cart
per day or at least three to four carts per week as they travelhome with their goods. Then they dump the carts on some-one’s property.
They never dump the cart on their own property as I seethe thieves remove their bags from the cart and cross thestreet to the Lansdowne Towers. The blight to the neighbour-hood of 20 shopping carts piled up is a problem that needs tobe addressed.
If someone steals three per week, they would be stealing156 carts per year. Assume the cart costs a minimum of $100,the stolen property could cost the stores $15,600 annually.
Buy your own cart and park it at home in your garage.At minimum, if stores could have cameras in their park-
ing lot and start trying to fine people a significant amount forremoving carts from their lot, it would be helpful in keepingour neighbourhoods clean.
Let’s shame these thieves and stop them!Tamara Dixon

Whatever it may be, the pews in Catholic churches acrossthe Lower Mainland are getting a little more crowded thesedays.
That’s the initial observation following a two-month long,TV advertising campaign last December and this January,sponsored by the Archdiocese of Vancouver, called “CatholicsCome Home.”
While the final results have yet to be compiled to identifyjust what effect the campaign has had, Catholic church offi-cials are pleased with what they are hearing so far.
But it’s not numbers they are mainly interested in — it’sthe connections and re-connections the campaign has made.
Paul Schratz, spokesperson for the Archdiocese ofVancouver, said that in his own parish one of the parishioners,who had not stepped foot inside the building since she madeher first communion as a youngster, had recently returned tothe fold.
“She was around seven years old and something had hap-pened in her parish, some type of dispute, and a falling out.And her family pulled out of the church and she never wentback.”
Never, that is, until now, when in her 80s, a connectionwas re-established.
“She saw the TV ads and decided to return,” Schratz said.So how was that, and other similar re-connections, made?Schratz said the TV ad campaign addressed a shift in atti-
tude within the church to be more approachable and inviting.“The thing that we’ve noticed is that there was a real need
for our parishes and parish communities to become moreevangelizing in spirit,” Schratz said. “And that’s one thing wenoticed has happened.
“There is more of a sense in the churches now of welcom-ing, prayer and personal outreach.”
Previously, the perception was that all parishioners hadto do was attend mass regularly and not look outside thechurch’s boundaries to address the rest of the population. Atthe forefront of the new approach was extending a personalinvitation.
“Most people who come to the church do it because ofpersonal contact — somebody reaches out to them and invitesthem,” Schratz said. “And I think we have more of a sensenow of what’s necessary. We can’t just be, sort of, pew occu-piers. We have to be out there and inviting people to come tochurch.”
And given the complexion of Lower Mainland residentswhen it comes to their relationship with religion, there is aperceived larger community to address.
“Vancouver is the second-most secular city in the world— I think Berlin is first. So, there is obviously a lot of peoplehere who don’t know about Jesus and have never been invit-ed,” Schratz said. “And we realized this was a perfect oppor-tunity we had been missing.”
As for how much of a boost the campaign has had,the hard data is yet to be reviewed. But the population ofCatholics — estimated at 450,000 across 79 parishes fromSquamish to Hope, including four in Richmond — wasalready in good shape before Catholics Come Home waslaunched.
“Our numbers had been steadily increasing,” Schratz said.“But we realized we were missing a lot of people, who, if youlook a the size and growth across the Lower Mainland, a lotof them are already Christians, previously Catholic, but fellout of the practise of their faith.
“We realized we were missing a large opportunity tospread the good news, as well call it, and to share that faithwith other people.”
More than a serviceFINDING FAITH
Religion can often be viewed asa safe and familiar harbour for thosenew to a community.
And in the case of the immigrantpopulation prevalent in Richmond,it can also offer a way of escapingrepression in their homeland andintegrating into a new society.
That’s the view of Rev. David Tsaiof the Fujian Evangelical Church,whose 400 or so parishioners aremade up almost entirely of immi-grants from South East Asia — thePhilippines, Malaysia, Hong Kongand Taiwan.
The small number from main-land China, where Buddhism is the
dominant religion, have already beenexposed to Christianity, or have stud-ied it in western society.
“It’s a continuous process thatfor many started in Chinawhere there is still suspicionof Christianity by the gov-ernment,” Tsai said, addingmany immigrants tend to turnto religion and the churchwhen first arriving on foreignshores.
“When they immigrate to a newplace they have this desire, in asense, for a space that’s more famil-iar to them. And the church is one ofthem. But it’s not the only one,” Tsaisaid. “For others, it’s just a place theycan call home.”
Tsai added there is often a win-dow of time during which new immi-grants will gravitate to the church.
“When people are uprooted fromtheir familiar surroundings, I thinkthey’re more open to new things,”Tsai said. “And for some of them,life in Richmond is somewhat slower
paced than in Asia. So, they havemore time to be with their family andthink about the bigger issues of lifethan just surviving and their busi-
ness.”It’s a scenario familiar to
Richmond city councillorChak Au, who left Hong Kongfor Canada in the late 1980s.
“When people are new to acommunity, they will look for
groups they know, or share their faithbackground,” Au said.
“However, once they are moresettled and familiar with their newenvironment they are more on theirown and choose other aspects in lifeto focus on.
“Some Buddhist people may goback to the temple, some church-goers will approach the churches.”
To address that tendency, manychurches catering to the immigrantpopulation offer services other thanthe traditional weekly services tomaintain a link and provide

assistance their parishioners.“The faith community, not just the evan-
gelical church, do a lot for new immigrants,”Au said. “They tend to offer a lot of servicesin the area of settlement, adjustment into thenew community and to provide them supportwith things like ESL classes, social groupsand other information they may require tostart a new life here.”
Others do it with oppor-tunities to socialize.
Tsai’s Fujian EvangelicalChurch opens up its gymon a regular basis to hostbasketball and badmintonnights.
Some churches also seethose activities as a way ofadministering their faith.
“It’s a mission for them,to help the new immigrantssettle down and integrate,” Au said. “Andpartially, for some denominations, they aremore community-minded. They see thatassisting the immigrant community as a wayof practising their religious beliefs.”
In the late 1990s, Au, who was trained asa family therapist, and served as an assistantprofessor at the Chinese University of HongKong, did a survey of Chinese Christian
churches in the Lower Mainland that showedmore than 80 per cent had offered at least oneprogram to help immigrants.
“And that was maybe an ESL program,maybe a friendship club or counselling ser-vice,” Au said.
Today, many are still offering the services,but the target population has changed.
“With more new immigrants coming frommainland China, manyof the Chinese churcheshere offer programs inMandarin, not Cantonese,”Au said.
“We’re talking aboutvery different times now.When I came in the late1980s, many of the immi-grants who came fromHong Kong had some con-nections with the church,more proportionately than
the community at large.”While he would not characterize today’s
situation as immigrants beating a path to hischurch’s front doors, Rev. Tsai said often hisparishioners will attend simply because theservice is provided in their native tongue.
“And they have plenty of choice withmore than 100 Chinese churches in the MetroVancouver area,” he said.

Since he first appeared on the colour-ing contest page of the Richmond Newsseveral months ago, a certain rascally rac-coon has taken on a life of his own.
Thanks to the input from young read-ers, and their parents, Minoru got hisname and he has embarked on a numberof adventures in the city.
His development has also been guidedby artist Earthstar Smith of LightsproutProductions who has penned the featuresince its inception.
Smith said he has thoroughly enjoyedhis time so far with Minoru and looksforward to creating new adventures whichwill appeal to children and adults asthe raccoon gets himself into situationsthat shed light on some issues here inRichmond.
“I can’t say too much about what’sgoing to happen with Minoru,” Smithsaid, adding there are plans for othercharacters to enter the scene.
“Minoru is going to add to his castand continue to follow current events andhappenings in Richmond, try to poke fun
at things, and create situations that kidsand their parents can relate to on multiple
levels.“Let’s just say he’s going to have
adventures on a grand scale, and alsomake friends on a small scale, as well.”
Producing a single panel strip thatincorporates so much life and mirth hasbeen a challenge Smith has taken greatpride and care in creating.
“It’s been a great process for myself,as an artist” Smith said. “A lot of think-ing goes into each one.
“I am trying to, given the format, cre-ate a personality without using any wordsor dialogue. But just through the stagingof the drawings I aim to draw out hispersonality to give both kids and adults asense of who this raccoon is and what hismischievous goals look like.”
Smith said he is pleased at how read-ers are reacting to Minoru.
“And I like the fact of being able tointroduce a topical or cultural elementsto give the cartoon meaning outside thecolouring contest.”

Seventh of a 10-part seriesI love the media! It enter-
tains and informs me; I relyon it daily. Freedom of themedia is enshrined in mostdemocratic constitutions.
The Universal Declarationof Human Rights states itwell: “Everyone has theright to freedom of opinionand expression; this right includes freedomto hold opinions without interference, andimpart information and ideas through anymedia regardless of frontiers.”
This is all good, but it cannot be providedfor free. That’s where you and I come in. Ifthe media can keep our eyes and ears glued
to its content, then we will bemore likely to see and hearthe advertising messages thatultimately pay for the content.
Bad news and shock valuesells advertising and, in ourhyper-stimulated technologi-cal world, the media needs tocompete fiercely.
Building wealth in thecapital markets is a long-term endeavour thatdoes not frequently capture media attention.
People are more likely to be drawn tooutrageous and shocking messages such as,“Housing Meltdown,” “Dow takes RecordPlunge” or “Ten Cheap Stocks to Own Now!”
I shudder at the wealth that was perma-
nently lost when investors bailed out of theirequity investments in early March of 2009and missed out on the opportunity to perhapsdouble their money since then, content to “gobroke safely” within the comfort of a “safer”GIC portfolio. I partially blame the talkingheads of major network television.
The short-term focus is particularly obvi-ous in articles that dispense investmentadvice and are framed to appeal to humanemotion, especially fear and greed. Investorsshould view these messages as entertainment.
Warren Buffett once said, “To invest suc-cessfully over a lifetime does not require astratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, orinside information. What’s needed is a soundintellectual framework for making decisions
and the ability to keep emotions from corrod-ing that framework.”
With the right advisors and a reasonableamount of due diligence, it is possible todetermine a sound intellectual framework anduse it to continually test all your financialdecisions. Poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote,“One ship drives east and other drives westby the same winds that blow. It’s the set ofthe sails and not the gales that determines theway they go.”

Hat trick of B.C. titles for Richmond teamsDeparting coach Clive Clarke guides his third local side to a provincial championship in the past 10 years
On a simmering Sunday afternoon inLangley, a highly successful coaching eracame to an end at least for now.
Clive Clarke’s U13 Richmond All-Starscompleted a dominant season by capturingthe Provincial “A” Cup with a decisive 3-0victory over Kamloops. The All-Stars arethe third local team Clarke has guided toa provincial title, having enjoyed previoussuccess with the Richmond Madrid boysteam and the Richmond Red Hot Selectsgirls side.
However, the impressive run has cometo a halt after the Richmond Girls SoccerAssociation executive decided not to bringClarke back to coach at the U14 Metro nextseason. His daughter Ebony, who scored allthree goals in the cup final, will be playingat the B.C. Premier level for Coastal FC.
Clarke has younger children playingwithin RGSA and is receiving plenty ofinterest from other clubs for his services.Right now, he is focused on being a fatherand supportive of his children’s activities.
His son Caleb is under contract with theWhitecaps while daughter Summer is soonheaded to Louisiana State University ona full-ride scholarship. Another daughter,Jade, plays Premier for Surrey United.
“Yes I’m a demanding coach who chal-lenges my players but it’s about properlyteaching the technical side of the game and,more importantly, leading to them playingsome good soccer and understanding thegame better,” said Clarke of his winningformula which features an attacking brandof soccer. “If the kids can get use to thework ethic I expect of them, then they will
just blossom.“This (U13) group worked very hard
and had a lot of success because of it.”The All-Stars run to the cup title includ-
ed wins over Port Moody (4-2) HarbourCity FC (3-2) and playing Kamloops to anearlier scoreless draw.
Meanwhile, Richmond teams capturedtitles in two other divisions.
Richmond Synergy also completed theprestigious triple (Metro League, Coastaland Provincial champions) with a 3-2 winin penalty kicks over defending provincialchampions Kamloops Blazers.
The Synergy looked to be in full controlwith a 2-0 first half lead and the Blazersdown to 10 players after a red card foran intentional hand ball. Richmond had anumber of opportunities to extend its leadand put the match out of reach but failedto bury its chances, opening the door for agritty Blazers team to battle back.
Twenty minutes of overtime couldn’tdetermine a winner before Synergy finallyprevailed in penalty kicks. Despite all thedrama, head coach Ron Ng was confidenthis girls would prevail and it didn’t haveanything to do with Richmond enjoyingabout 70 percent of the territorial play.
“Sounds kind of cliché but I never hadany doubt that our girls were going to win,”said Ng of his first provincial title with thisteam. “I don’t know what it was but I justrefused to think the result would go anyother way. We controlled the majority ofthe play but we have had a lot of games gothat way for us this season where the out-come was much closer than it should havebeen.

“Give Kamloops a lot ofcredit. They were defendingprovincial champions for areason and overcame someadversity and played with alot of heart.”
The Synergy openedwith a 4-1 victory overNorth Shore, then battledthe Saanich Fusion to a 2-2draw. The cup final previewon Saturday produced ascoreless result.
U18 Richmond Unitedboys put last May’s heart-breaking Coastal Cup finalresult behind them in a bigway by capturing the B.C.title against the very sameteam.
United completed anunbeaten run in Langleywith a 3-2 win overBurnaby in the champion-ship game, the exact samescore they had lost to theirMetro League rival in theCoastal final.
“I just think we werejust in much better formfor this tournament,” saidUnited coach Ted Lorenz.“We were battling injuries
and were kinda flat for theCoastal game. This timewe were better prepared.A week earlier we playeda men’s team in an exhi-bition game that plays asimilar style to Burnaby. Welost the game but it reallyhelped get us ready forthem.”
Richmond served noticeearly by defeating Burnaby2-1 in round-robin play en
route to the final. Whatmakes this feat even moreimpressive is only oneplayer will be lost to gradu-ation, with the bulk of theroster having won the pro-vincial cup at the U16 levelin Kamloops last year.
A long season isn’t quitefinished yet as the teamis headed to Seattle for atournament before a well-deserved break.
Corner kicks...Rounding out the local
entries was U15 RichmondUnited capping its outstand-ing season with a bronzemedal. The Metro Leagueand Coastal Cup champsedged Coquitlam MetroFord 1-0 in the third placegame. Earlier, Richmondfell 1-0 to eventual cham-pion Saanich and defeatedKamloops 2-0.
