REVIEW
ESTABLISHED 1932
Oval was a Games’ success story,
says 2010 Olympic boss
John Furlong
drops by city hall
to offer thanks
by Matthew Hoekstra
Staff Reporter
Vancouver’s Olympic boss returned to
Richmond City Hall Monday to thank the
city for being a force behind one of the
“great success stories” of the Games.
Speaking five months after the closing
ceremonies, Vanoc chief executive officer
John Furlong told Richmond city council the
Games had the “best building of the world”
in the Richmond Olympic Oval.
“This was a profoundly great project for
the Games. It was without a doubt the sig-
nature venue,” said Furlong, speaking di-
rectly to council without a script. “It gave
the country pure magic, and it took an enor-
mous effort to pull that off.”
Furlong presented council with a book of
Olympic memories and remembered the
genesis of the largest competition venue
of the Games.
It started with a city council giving
$500,000 of taxpayers’ money to the Olym-
pic bid committee, a gift Furlong called “ex-
traordinary, unique and unprecedented.”
Once the Games were awarded to Vancou-
ver, Furlong said he could feel Richmond
had an appetite to be involved.
Richmond lost out on hosting the
Games’ broadcast centre given an ongo-
ing battle for control of the Garden City
lands. Meanwhile, a plan to build the long
track speed skating oval at Simon Fraser
University in Burnaby had collapsed due
to rising costs.
But Furlong said fate played an incredible
hand. He got stuck in Vancouver traffic.
He picked up a pad of paper and drew a
sketch of the oval. While waiting for traffic
to clear, he called George Duncan, Rich-
mond’s chief administrative officer, and
asked him if he’d be interested in talking
about Richmond becoming an Olympic city.

Sea Island Coast
Guard to get
new hovercraft
New rescue craft
will replace former
passenger vessel
by Bhreandáin Clugston
Editor
The Sea Island Canadian Coast Guard base is
getting a $27.3-million hovercraft, the federal
government has announced.
The new craft will replace the Penac, a Euro-
pean vessel constructed in 1984 which was pur-
chased, and converted from a passenger vessel to
a search-and-rescue craft by the Canadian Coast
Guard in 2004.
Upgrades extended the life of the vessel, but the
operational capacity was still limited because of the
restrictions associated with the original design.
“This is great news for recreational boaters,
commercial mariners, the Vancouver airport
and all who rely on the Coast Guard hovercraft

Honey creating buzz at airport hotel
Forget about

ingredients, chef
makes his own in
Richmond
by Matthew Hoekstra
Staff Reporter
A local hotel is turning to a million busy
Sea Island inhabitants to satisfy the sweet
tooth of guests.
The Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel
is managing 24 honeybee colonies at
McDonald Beach Park—a 20 minute bicy-
cle ride from the hotel.
The hives were installed in July with help
from Surrey-based Honeybee Centre. After
just one week, 200 pounds of honey were
ready.
By September, the hotel expects to have
one tonne of honey on its hands.
Executive chef Kamal Silva said the local
sweetener will be used in the kitchen,
offered on the breakfast buffet, given
away to guests, shared with staff—and
maybe even dished out to other Fairmont
properties.
“I just want to show the team here that
every challenge can be an opportunity,”
said the London-trained Silva, who came
to the hotel two years ago after working in
Dubai and elsewhere in the Middle East.
When Silva landed at YVR, he realized he
couldn’t grow his own food on the hotel’s
property. So he started thinking.
“I cannot have a plot here, I cannot have
a garden here, I cannot have bees on the
roof. But you can take the challenge as an
opportunity and still do it.”
On his mind were memories of child-
hood: stealing the sweet nectar from a

neighbour’s beehives with a stick late at
night. (The gig was up when his parents
discovered bee stings on his arms.)
Talks began with the Honeybee Centre
and Silva discovered no airport in the world
made its own honey. After six months of
working to get approval, the bees moved
in to a fenced area at the Sea Island park.
“We want to showcase to the rest of
the world that an airport hotel, and the
airport, can do this and support the envi-
ronment.”

assists Ian Lai’s schoolyard society and the
Growing Chef Foundation, where Fairmont
chefs are dispatched to two Richmond
schools to teach students about food and
how to grow it.
“I want to show the young generation of
cooks how important it is to grow (your
own food),” he said. “Because nowadays,
you just order it, and it just comes in—you
don’t even have to wash it.”
As for the product of the estimated 1.2
million bees at McDonald Beach Park,
Silva said honey from one hive tastes like
blueberries—another, like cloves.
“That means the bees are going in dif-
ferent areas,” he said. “We put it in the
cafeteria so everybody got to eat that. It’s
awesome.”
New homes
will be solar
heat ready
Builders will soon be
compelled to design
houses to accommodate
solar hot water heaters
by Matthew Hoekstra
Staff Reporter
All single-family homes built in Richmond by
later this year will be designed to easily accom-
modate a solar water heating system.
City council voted Monday to add Richmond to
the list of communities under B.C.’s new “solar
hot water ready regulation,” which will require
builders to design houses suitable for solar
heat systems.
The new regulation will only apply in cities
that request inclusion and could be in place
by fall.
Adding a rough-in for solar power has minimal
cost to builders—up to $300, city staff esti-
mate. The regulation, said Coun. Ken Johnston,
shows “a great deal of vision” given the cost
savings to homeowners.
“That’s an amazing incentive down the road
when these start to get installed.”
According to SolarBC, a program administered
by the BC Sustainable Energy Association and
funded by senior governments, a solar hot
water system “easily pays for itself ” in its life-
time. A system costs, on average, $6,900. The
price goes down with a $2,000 point-of-sale
rebate, and other discounts are available under
the federal ecoEnergy retrofit program.
The cost drops further for a new home
roughed-in for a system.
“People are finding as energy prices are start-
ing to rise—and they predict a rise in the
future—when they put a solar system in, you’re
buying energy security,” said Nitya Harris, exec-
utive director of SolarBC. “This is looking at the
next 20, 30, 40 years and saying that solar is
going to happen here in that time and we’re just
making it easier for that to happen.”
SolarBC has a goal of seeing 100,000 solar
roofs in B.C. by 2020. California has set a goal
of one million by 2017.
Heating water uses 30 per cent of the total
energy in homes. A solar water heater can sup-
plement up to 60 per cent of the water heating
needs for a typical family of four, and systems
are designed to last 20 to 40 years. In sustained
sunny weather, such as this July, solar heat can
take care of all water heating needs.
Until late August, SolarBC will cover the entire
cost of systems installed at schools, universi-
ties and hospitals.
Said Harris: “It’s great for schools to get on
board, not only as a demonstration project for
kids and the community, but also as a way to
teach the kids about future skills. And it’s a
great demonstration for the community.”
Solar hot water simplified
1. Solar collectors absorb radiant energy
from the sun
2. A pump circulates heated liquid from
the panels and through the heat exchanger
in the solar storage tank.
3. Heat is transferred to the water in the
solar storage tank.
4. Solar heated water is added to the regu-
lar hot water tank, ready for use.

despite carbon tax
by Jeff Nagel
Black Press
Despite paying North America’s first carbon tax—which climbed
another notch July 1—B.C. motorists actually burned up more gas
last year.
Per capita gasoline sales leapt almost 10 per cent in 2009, accord-
ing to figures compiled by the Seattle-based Sightline Institute.
“It was the largest year-over-year increase we’ve seen in British Co-
lumbia in at least 30 years,” said senior researcher Eric de Place.
The big drop in gas prices in 2009 from their peak in 2008—when
oil hit $145 a barrel—is likely the prime cause for the increased fuel
consumption, he said.
But preparations to host the 2010 Olympics likely also boosted
economic activity and fuel use, he said, noting B.C.’s recession was
also milder than many other jurisdictions.
The carbon tax, which rose 1.12 cents on Canada Day to 4.45 cents
per litre, has helped put downward pressure on fuel use.
But de Place said that effect was “overwhelmed” in 2009 by the
more than 30-cent plunge in gas prices.
The average B.C. resident burned more than 21 litres of gas per
week, the highest level in 10 years.

Finally some good news
about a hovercraft

T
he Canadian Coast Guard unit on Sea Is-
land is getting a what is being billed as a
state-of-the-art $27.3-million hovercraft.
This is great news as in the past the station has had
to make do with used boats, falling apart vessels and
complete indifference from Ottawa.
In the past, Coast Guard services on Sea Island
received outrageous neglect from the federal gov-
ernment, mostly under the watch of Jean Chretien’s
Liberals earlier this decade.
In 2001, Paul Sandhu drowned after his car plunged
into the Middle Arm of the Fraser River.
When the Coast Guard arrived on the scene, it
couldn’t dive in the water and attempt a rescue.
That’s because two days before the dive team was
cancelled by the feds, who neglected to tell other
emergency responders or the public. It was left to
Richmond Fire-Rescue to swim out and attempt a res-
cue.
The dive team was finally reinstated two years later.
Then there was the case of the Cap Rouge II. In
2002, the vessel sunk at the mouth of the Fraser
River, southwest of Steveston. Five people died in the
tragedy.
Back at the Coast Guard station, only the backup
hovercraft was available. And it practically broke
down en route.
Later that year, the Coast Guard was down to one
vessel for a while.
In 2004, the hovercraft Siyay was out of service for
several months after its drive shaft “disintegrated”
and the pair of propellers used to manoeuvre the ves-
sel were “destroyed.”
The Penac, a $7.5 million mothballed British ferry,
was converted into a search-and-rescue hovercraft
back in 2004. That move was met with scepticism
at the time by MP John Cummins. Now, after years
of raising safety concerns, the Delta-Richmond East
Conservative MP is delighted to see a brand new hov-

The wrecking of Richmond
Editor:
Re: “Wrecking ball takes another home in Seafair,”
Letters, July 24.
I have lived in Richmond for 16 years, but the 25
years before that, I lived from Nova Scotia to Alberta.
Before I moved here, I never witnessed one house
knocked down, let alone, dozens on an ongoing basis
as we see in Richmond.
Just like letter writer Jennifer Gerves-Keen men-
tioned, neighbourhoods with these new monster
houses have lost all their character and the streets
are lined with extremely unaffordable housing for the
average Canadian.
Gigantic houses are put up with three-car garages
where there used to be a lovely rancher or split-level
with perhaps a big weeping willow out the front.
Little by little, Richmond neighborhoods are being
ruined and it’s time to put a stop to it before it’s too
late. Where are the ranchers for a retired couple, or a
starter home for young people? They’ll be moving to
Delta or Maple Ridge.

claims B.C. gamblers are

The initial explanation
was a surge of traffic.
Days later BCLC admitted
that registered players’

At about the same

The same can be said of
B.C.’s own paper tiger,
the Gaming Policy and
Enforcement Branch.
But let’s leave that
aside. The theory here is
that organized criminals
will bring their pimp and
pusher profits into the
local B.C. casino to “laun-
der” the money.
I’m trying to imagine
how this would work.
Here’s another “leaked”
document to illustrate the
situation:
To: luigi@badguys.com
From: bigjulie@badguys.
com
Subject: B.C. casinos
Hey Luigi, nice woik
getting the laundromat
running on the West
Coast.
Just one problem. Our
guys go in there for a
week, I give ’em two full
hockey bags to wash,
they come back with one
bag. Don’t get me wrong,
it’s nice and clean, but
let’s not forget these
are the competition’s
casinos. And these West
Coast guys ain’t playing
tiddly winks.
I’m gonna take a meet-
ing next week with Big
Rich. He seems like a rea-
sonable guy, says there’s
room in the market. We’ll
see. At least it’ll give me
a chance to tell him off
about the freakin’ HST.
Be careful out there.
Big Julie
But seriously, one ques-
tion really matters here:
is this an appropriate role
for government?
Coleman’s answer is
that B.C. Lottery Corp.
is a business. It exists
for one reason, to make
money for its four million
shareholders. The board
of directors decided to
spend $325 million to
upgrade its network and
games, and once they
get it working it should
be fine.
This is the same logic
that led to lawyers for
that other Crown corpora-
tion, BC Ferries, grinding
out a chintzy settlement
of a thousand bucks or
so for passengers who
fled the sinking Queen
of the North.
As Big Julie might say,
nothing personal. It’s
just business.

“What?”

Chamber member demonstrates environmental leadership
A
number of environmental, business and political leaders,
including Iain Black, Minister of Small Business,
Technology and Economic Development, commended
Novex Delivery Solutions for its environmental leadership
during the launch of the Àrst two 100 per cent electric-powered
trucks licensed in Canada. Novex is continuing to green its Áeet
with the addition of two new zero-emission Smith electric trucks.
“That is how we’ve done business in the past,” said Robert
Safrata, CEO, Novex as an old bio-diesel delivery truck drove in.
“And this is how we’re doing business today and in the future!”
as two shiny new Smith trucks drove noiselessly toward the plaza
at Vancouver’s Millennium Water development, designed as the
most sustainable community in Canada.
Vancouver-owned and operated Novex is a leader among
same-day courier companies as the Àrst to use hybrid vehicles in
Canada in 2003 and becoming carbon-neutral in 2008. Novex has
made a commitment – as a transportation company – to reduce its
carbon footprint by 70 per cent by 2015.
“Novex has made a commitment to do the right thing and
focus on creating a sustainable company,” said Safrata. “We do
this by adhering to a triple bottom line that includes a social,
environmental and economic focus. We are constantly amazed at
the beneÀts of managing by the triple bottom line. For example,
we have been working for almost three years to add these vehicles
to our Áeet due to the overwhelming emissions reductions. A
beneÀt of using these vehicles for early morning deliveries to
hospitals and universities that are located in residential areas is
they minimize noise pollution, and thereby signiÀcantly reduce
the impact on the community for a positive social effect.”
These new vehicles will result in Novex saving approximately
58 C02e tonnes per year, equivalent to taking 12 cars off the
road each year. Additionally, the fuel savings when using these
Novex Delivery Solutions launched the first two 100 per cent electric-
powered trucks licensed in Canada, recently.
two vehicles is expected to be approximately $25,000 per year.
Novex already saves 88 C02e tonnes annually by using hybrids
cars, natural gas vans and biodiesel freight vehicles in its Áeet,
equivalent to taking 18 cars off the road each year.
Vancouver Assistant City Manager Sadhu Johnston received the
Àrst carbon-neutral, zero-emission delivery during the presentation.
“Novex’s decision to shift to zero-emission vehicles is
exactly the kind of business leadership we need to Àght climate
change,” said Johnston. “By greening its Áeet with these two
electric-powered trucks,
Novex will save money on energy costs and reduce its carbon
footprint - proving that going green isn’t just good for the environment,
but good for business too. At City Hall our goal is to be the greenest
city in the world by 2020, and with a local company like Novex being a
leader on the environment, they’re helping us achieve our goal.”
Novex’s environmental business leadership was also
commended by Iain Black, Minister of Small Business,
Technology and Economic Development.
“It’s a feather in British Columbia’s cap that one of our
companies has become the Àrst in Canada to incorporate
electric delivery trucks into their everyday commercial Áeet,”
said Minister Black. “I commend Novex for being a pioneer in
embracing green vehicle technology and for showing the way in
reducing B.C.’s carbon footprint.”
The David Suzuki Foundation also supports the direction
that Novex is taking by continuing to expand its Áeet with zero-
emissions vehicles. While CEO Peter Robertson was not able to
attend the launch, he did provide the following comment.
“Over the past 20 years, the trucks used to move and deliver
goods have been one of the fastest growing sources of climate
change emissions in Canada,” said Robinson. “Today, it’s exciting
to see solutions in action that dramatically slash emissions,
improve our quality of life, and build a more innovative economy.
This shows the tremendous potential of what can be done when
we lead rather than follow.”
For Smith Electric Vehicles, licensing the Àrst two trucks in
Canada is a break-through in supplying the Canadian market with
commercial vehicles that are both emission-free and noise-free.
“Novex is delivering more than packages, they are delivering
leadership to the next generation of transportation,” said Bryan
Hansel, CEO of Smith Electric Vehicles. “It takes more than
technology to create change, it takes visionary leaders to take the
required steps to action. Novex has played that key leadership role
in getting Smith Electric Vehicles on the road in Canada.”
During the presentation, Offsetters, which does carbon
offsetting for Novex, presented CEO Safrata with an award.
“We are proud to present Novex with an award recognizing
their carbon neutral status and their ongoing leadership role in
taking action on climate change,” said Kari Grist, Senior Vice
President, Marketing and Client Engagement of Offsetters.
“We’ve partnered with Novex since 2008 and as they continue
to look for ways to reduce their emissions, they’re demonstrating
that businesses can be successful and sustainable.”

Olympian retiring
to accounting
by Jessica Tieszen
Contributor
Canadian Olympian Alexa Loo is retiring
from snowboarding to focus on a career in
accounting.
Fresh off a 12th-place finish at the Olympic
Winter Games in Vancouver, the Richmond
resident feels there is no better way to end
her athletic career.
After years of skiing as a little kid, Loo de-
cided in 1987 while on Mt. Baker that it was
time to try something new—snowboarding.
At this point, the idea of representing Can-
ada at the Olympics was just a long-shot
dream of hers.
“Once I started researching qualification
standards, I realized I was going to have to
dedicate my life to the sport if I wanted to
compete,” says Loo.
“All my time was spent train-
ing. I would literally eat,
breathe and sweat snowboard-
ing.”
- Alexa Loo
“All my time was spent training or on the
mountain. I would literally eat, breathe and
sweat snowboarding. It’s a tough lifestyle,
but fun within itself.”
Loo is a two-time Olympian and seven-time
Canadian champion in parallel giant slalom.
As well, she has stepped on the FIS World
Cup podium three times throughout her ca-
reer, all in alpine snowboarding disciplines.
Loo, 37, leaves a legacy of success behind
her as she pursues her chartered accoun-
tant and chartered financial analyst desig-
nations.
Loo and her husband Ari Goosen are ea-
ger to move back to Richmond, the place she
calls home, and start a family of their own.
Loo has lined up a job with a small Rich-
mond firm starting in August. Her husband,
a former ski-boot fitter, is studying to be a
diamond appraiser.
“I’m ready to move on to the next step of
my life,” says Loo.
“I am going to jump on and grab a bull by
the horns.”
Entering into this new phase of her life, Loo
also plans to work with youth at the club
level developing the foundation and me-
chanics of sports through various programs
such as the Kajaks’ Track Rascals for ages
six to eight.
“I believe that we need to develop athletes
from a young age,” says Loo.
“I want to give back to the kids of the com-
munity, building skill for the future.”
Loo retires with great support from the
community wishing her the best in her fu-
ture endeavours.
“Alexa has been a trailblazer for women in
snowboarding, leading the path and moti-
vating younger alpine snowboarder to strap
up and snowboard,” said Robert Joncas,
director of high performance at Canada Alexa Loo is trading her snowboarding career for
Snowboard.. “Alexa leaves a strong legacy one as an accountant.

Bantam Islanders in
search of national crown
When the Richmond Islanders ’94A girls’
fastball team steps onto the field in Victoria
this weekend at the national Bantam champi-
onships, they’ll be ready for adversity.
The Isles had to dig deep at the just-com-
pleted provincials in Cloverdale to earn third
place and a qualifying berth into the Canadian
tournament. They finished round-robin play
with a 3-1 record which surprisingly left them
in seventh place. And their first playoff game
was a 7-0 loss to the White Rock Renegades.
But the Isles regrouped and came to the park
on Sunday ready to play. Wins over the Fraser
Valley Fusion ‘95, Delta Heat ‘94 and the Ren-
egades ’95 put them into a semifinal game
versus Victoria Devils ‘94. In a hard fought
game, which could have gone either way, the
Devils won 8-7.
The Isles were content with their third-place
finish, but have loftier goals
Coached by Kelsey Trott, Stephanie Thornton
and Tim Culling, the Isles are: Kristen Almjhell,
Kathleen Cathcart, Courtney Cruden, Emma
Culling, Kendal Derkson, Quinn Dhaliwal, Drew
Dhaliwal, Alexis Khoshaba, Amanda Ring, Ra-
chelle Sayers, Marga Sison, Hilary Strelau and
pick ups Kendel Floberg, Katrina Guenther and
