Commercial fishing boat deckhands Linda Roon, Janice Wheeler and Sandra Pinette sort through their haul of sockeye salmon on the Fraser River.
Sockeye run a happy fish tale so far
Commercial
fishermen pulling
in good catches
by Jeff Nagel
Black Press
The sound of nets being ratcheted out
of the Fraser River and big healthy salmon
flopping into boats was music to the ears of
commercial fishermen Tuesday.
After four years of being sidelined because
of insufficient stocks, gillnetters took to the
water to harvest sockeye in the lower river.
By all accounts, fishing was good with each
boat hauling in an average of 250 sockeye
despite challenging tides and being limited
to just a three-hour opening.
“It’s always a happy moment to be out on
the boat fishing,” said B.C. Fisheries Survival
Coalition spokesman Phil Eidsvik from his
boat off Surrey near Barnston Island.
“There’s more than we expected this far
up.”
Recreational anglers and First Nations fish-
ermen have also been eagerly pulling sock-
eye from the river, as have seiners and troll-
ers further offshore.
“The catches are good and people are
fishing hard,” Sto:lo fisheries adviser Ernie
Crey said.
There are growing hopes the catch com-
ing in isn’t just a flash in the pan but will

more sockeye are still due to arrive.
Up to 11 million sockeye were forecast this
year, but fishermen hardly dared think about
that number, after similar optimistic projec-
tions fell way short three years running.
“We’re just hopeful this is the beginning of
some kind of a turnaround here,” said Irvin
Figg, president of the United Fishermen and
Allied Workers Union.
He said gillnetters are disappointed that
after not having fished since 2006 they’ve
got only a brief opening so far.
“Some people are insulted by that. I don’t
blame them,” he said, but added he’s glad

He indicated the Fight HST campaign may seek a
court injunction to force Elections BC to follow its gov-
erning legislation.
And he said volunteers will prepare for a “total recall”
campaign targeting all BC Liberal MLAs in stages to
pressure the government to either reverse the HST or
be toppled.
“We will move to recall,” Vander Zalm said. “We will
recall every Liberal MLA in the province if that’s what
it takes.”
The citizens’ initiative petition, which was submitted
with more than 700,000 signatures, was certified as
having passed with the required 10 per cent of regis-
tered voters in all 85 constituencies in the province
after a six-week count.
It’s the first time after a series of failed attempts on
other issues for a campaign to successfully meet the
initiative requirements of B.C.’s Recall and Initiative
Act.
Although a non-binding referendum just over a year
from now on the HST is one possible outcome if the
petition and draft law makes it to the legislative com-
mitttee, Vander Zalm said he would consider that a
stonewalling tactic by government as well.
Nothing short of a vote of the legislature by Nov. 15 to
repeal the HST will satisfy petitioners and avoid recall
campaigns to begin picking off government MLAs.
Recallling an MLA is difficult—canvassers must get
the signatures of 40 per cent of registered voters in the
riding within 60 days. No MLA has ever been recalled in
B.C., although one resigned just as a recall campaign
wrapped up that was expected to succeed.
Vander Zalm’s draft legislation aims to end the 12
per cent HST and replace it with the old seven per cent
Provincial Sales Tax and five per cent federal Goods and
Services Tax. It would give each B.C. resident an equal
share of the provincial portion of the HST collected
since July 1.

Falconry show flies into Richmond
by Rebekah Hammond
Contributor
Richmondites have an oppor-
tunity to get up-close and
personal with birds of prey at
a Falconry Show that’s being
held at Terra Nova Rural Park.
The Pacific Northwest Raptors
group from Cowichan B.C.
which specializes in rescuing,
training and working with birds
of prey will be in Richmond
with their feathered friends all
day on Sunday, Aug. 22.
Hawks, eagles and a turkey
vulture will be featured at the
event showing off their hunting
skills.
“It’s a unique experience for
people to get up close to the
birds and see their eyes and
their talons, because birds
are usually in motion or flying
away,” said nature park co-
ordinator Kris Bauder.
“It’s great to see a bunch
of wild birds up close and in
action.”
Guests of all ages get the
chance to learn about each
bird. Turkey vultures are a
unique highlight, according to
Bauder.
“They are really funny birds,”
Bauder said. “Most people
think, ‘Eww, yuck.’ But they’re
absolutely wondrous things.
“They’ve adapted to eat
things no other animals will
eat. To me, they seem to have
a bit of a sense of humour. I
always think they see the world
differently than other birds of
prey.”
During the show, birds will be
flying from handler to perch,
making a catch and entertain-
ing the audience while trainers
talk about the birds’ hunting

opinion
Government needs to act
on anti-HST petition

T
he petition against the HST has been ruled
a success—but it appears that Elections
B.C. is afraid to step on any legal mine-
fields. The agency will not pass on the petition-
ers’ proposed bill to a legislative committee—
the next step in the process.
It is important to keep several things in mind. First of
all, the petition drive is an historic victory in Canada
for direct democracy. It is the first time any recall drive
or initiative drive has formally succeeded. This is a
milestone, and is particularly significant given how
difficult it is for such a drive to succeed, under the leg-
islation.
Second, Elections B.C. is an non-partisan agency, and
the chief electoral officer is there in an acting capacity.
Craig James normally works as one of the top clerks in
the Legislative Assembly. He thus is a stickler for details,
and the fact that the petition drive is the subject of one
lawsuit has caused him to decide that he can’t pass this
successful petition on to the committee at present.
There are several things that can happen. The provincial
government can bypass James’ concerns and take the
proposed bill straight to committee, and eventually vote
on it in the legislature. It is not obliged to sit on the pro-
posed bill simply because of James’ caution.
The government can also ask James to explain his rea-
soning more clearly. His lack of an explanation is baffling
and makes people cynical about the democratic process
It is also possible that the two lawsuits that are the
ostensible cause of the holdup be withdrawn. One is on
the legality of the HST law. Initiated by Bill Vander Zalm,
the proponent of the petition, it would certainly be with-
drawn if necessary.
The second lawsuit was brought in at the very last min-
ute by a coalition of business groups who back the HST.
They can continue their lawsuit, but they do so at their

More are not minding their manners
Editors:
I try to write about manners
at least once or twice a year
and recently as I was googling I
came across this question: “Are
common courtesy and decency
taking a ‘time out’ from society
today?”
I said as much to my husband
recently while driving. He let a
couple of cars through, even
though he could have squeezed
them out. The drivers didn’t
even look at him to nod or wave
a hand.
I gave a piece of furniture to
a woman who I thought was a
friend of mine. She took it and
drove away, never offering even
a thank you.
My niece and her husband
were visiting my daughter and
her husband for a few days.
No harm in having well-run B&Bs
Editor:
Upon reading the articles these
past few months on the Richmond
bed-and-breakfast issues, it seems
as if the fault is on the city rather
than the distraught home owners.
The city gave owners minimal public
warning before enforcing bylaws
that were practically invisible previ-
ously.
Being closely linked to the bed
and breakfast industry for 10 years
now, I can see no harm in operating
these “little visiting centres.” B&Bs
like Stone Hedge and Cedar House
that were associated with Tourism
Richmond usually result in very satis-
fied customers who are more than
willing to revisit Canada—partly

Richmond Maritime Festival - August 20-22
Steveston to take a pedal a
week before the paddle
by Don Fennell
Sports Editor
Picturesque and flat,
Steveston has long been
a favourite of cyclists—
those out for a leisurely
whirl as well as the more
ambitious.
For years, competitive
cyclists have lobbied for
a race to be held in the
quaint village but the
idea has always fallen on
deaf ears—until now.
Sunday, Aug. 15, the in-
augural Steveston Sock-
eye Spin will be held
from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. And
organizers—volunteers
at the Steveston Com-
munity Centre—hope it
will signal the start of an
annual event.
“A lot of riders feel
it’s a cool place to race
so we’re taking on that
challenge,” says assis-
tant race organizer Erich
Harvey.
The starting list is still
incomplete, but Harvey
expects some of B.C.’s
top riders will be among
those to take up the
challenge of the .90-ki-
lometre criterium race.
The course winds its
way through the busi-
ness core of Steveston,
from No. 1 Road west on
Moncton Street, south
on 3rd Avenue, east
of Bayview Street and
north on No. 1 Road.
“It’s an exciting, fast-
paced sport and there’s
often some drama,” says
Harvey.
The drama of which
Harvey speaks is sure
to be heightened by the
fact the Sockeye Spin
will feature primes (pro-
nounced preems), which
are races within races
where riders sprint for
prizes on a designed lap
or at a certain point.
As a provincially-
sanctioned race, part of
Cycling B.C.’s criterium
series, many of the rid-
ers in the Sockeye Spin
will also be trying to add
to their individual and
team point totals this
season.
Johanna Stewart, the
volunteer chair of the
Sockeye Spin, says
there’s been talk of hold-
ing a bike race in Ste-
veston for a long time.
It was a couple of “bike
people” that volunteered
at the community centre
that got things rolling.
“They threw the idea
out and the Steveston

“I don’t aspire to go to the
Olympics, but it would be
really cool to row at a univer-
sity.”
Kendra teamed with Alyssa
Hermann to win gold at the
B.C. Games. The pair aston-
ished the crowd by perform-
ing their ‘glide skill’ for 30
seconds, adding loads of
bonus points to their score
as they rotated their oars be-
tween vertical and horizontal
positions over 20 times. Other
performance skills included an
emergency stop, a figure eight,
a wide 90-degree turn and
docking to a buoy. They won
by a considerable margin.
“The girls just blew the
competition out of the water,”
says Laurel.
Leif teamed with Joren
Jackson to compete in seven
sailing races at the Games,
“averaging third in all of
them.”
The event requires two
members, one a crew to set
the sails and the other a skip-
per to steer the boat.
“There was a lot of varying
competition depending on
where people came from and
how much knowledge they
had of the water,” Leif says.
“We had gone to the sight
at the Rocky Point Sailing As-
sociation to prepare ourselves
for the event. That really
benefited us because we knew
the water and knew what to
expect.”
Laurel and Gordon were
ecstatic with their kids’ ac-
complishments, and that they
too share their passsion of
boating.
“In 1987 my husband and
I bought a sailboat,” Laurel
says.
“When he was diagnosed
with multiple sclerosis 10
years ago, we decided to
donate it to the Sea Cadets in
Richmond. We still love the
water and our kids have been
in boats since they could walk.
They have continued the fam-
ily’s passion for boats.
“My husband’s sickness has
given my kids direction. They
have learned to be indepen-
dent and work to succeed in

doubleheader against
Saskatchewan’s Pee-
wee AA champions
Wednesday.
But the Chuckers’
“friendlies” against
the team from Lloy-
dminster were more
about building rela-
tions, and the game,
than numbers on a
scoresheet.
“We’re looking for
the greater good,”
said Richmond City
Baseball president Pat
Weatherill.
Weatherill said plans
are afoot to send a
Richmond team to a
tournament in Sas-
katchewan next May,
and for a Lloydmister
team to return here
next season to par-
ticipate in the annual
Bantam invitational.
For the current Sas-
katchewan champs,
the two games this
week against the
Chuckers were a wel-
comed last-minute op-
portunity to prepare
for the Western Cana-
dian championships
which began Friday in
Newton.
“This experience
means a lot to us,”
said head coach Dave
Keck. “We play two
tough B.C. teams in
Newton and West Kel-
owna in our first two
games. It was impor-
tant to get our feet
on the ground and
field the ball, and also
to have a look at the
pitching.”
In Saskatchewan,
curve balls are not al-
lowed because of the
strain it can put on
pichers’ arms.

Chuckers second at Midget provincials

by Don Fennell
Sports Editor
Just as the tortoise proved slow and steady
can win a race, the Richmond Chuckers Midg-
et AA baseball team has followed a deliberate
path to success.
After putting the wraps on the 2010 sum-
mer season by finishing second at the pro-
vincial championships last weekend in Prince
George, manager Don Hass, his coaching staff
( Mark Smirfitt, Jon Fenn and Terry Dowle) and
the Chuckers themselves are now able to ap-
preciate the fruits of their labour.
“A lot of these kids I’ve coached, including
my son (Tyler), since they were five years old,”
Hass says. “It’s a little easier now that they
know what to expect.”
Throughout the long journey, which includ-
ed a 1-9 win-loss record only a few seasons
ago, Hass has been steadfast in his belief that
solid fundamentals lead to individual success
and winning baseball.
But being well grounded in the basics also
enables players to work on more complex as-
pects by the time they reach this level, not
only improving their overall game but helping
them advance in the sport, he says.
The progress of the Chuckers is apparent.
Not only did the current group play solid
ball, but was consistently strong in the out-
field, this summer. Hass was also proud of
the team’s ability to develop a deep pitching
staff.
“There’s a difference between throwing and
pitching, and new pitch count rules force you
to have a strong pitching staff,” he says.
“We only had 12 guys on the roster but we
used eight to pitch, including three who’d
never thrown before.”

to focus her seemingly limitless energies on

laudable and interesting. For one thing, the

But, as if breaking our collective cell
