Councillors want more bite in bylaw Anti-tethering amendment could soon come to animal control bylaw by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Dog owners who tether their animals could soon be bit in the pocketbook as civic politicians move to stop a practice seen as cruel. City council’s community safety committee has ordered staff to draft an amendment to the animal control bylaw to specifically include an “unattended, anti-tethering” clause. The committee made the decision after hearing an appeal from Janet Olson and Marlene Keefe of Ban Resident Dogs on Sept. 11. “Resident dogs have addresses, not homes. Chained and penned dogs must eat, sleep, urinate and defecate in a single confined area,” said Olson, in her graphic presentation to politicians. Olson told committee many chained dogs hang themselves when trying to jump over doghouses or fences. She showed an image of a dog from Surrey that strangled itself after struggling for hours to free itself from a tangled tether. “Dogs are chained for any number of reasons, but one of the most common is to act as guard dogs,” said Keefe. “By isolating dogs and depriving them of their greatest emotional need, we create unsocialized and emotionally detached time bombs. Such dogs become aggressive—not protective.” Olson said chained and confined dogs can’t be seized under provincial legislation unless the animals are close to death. With no response from the province, the Ban Resident Dogs group is urging municipalities to make their own rule, which would give local animal control officers the power to act. They’ve already convinced Surrey to draft legislation, and Keefe said other B.C. municipalities—Burnaby, Delta, Lions Bay, New Westminster and Victoria—already have such a law. Richmond community bylaws manager Wayne Mercer told councillors his staff has fielded eight complaints this year related to the tethering of dogs. He said the city’s existing bylaw includes a clause to deal with the tethering of animals. But elected officials—councillors Linda McPhail, Evelina HalseyBrandt and Bill McNulty, along with Mayor Malcolm Brodie— wanted the bylaw to be more specific. “There’s no doubt that our bylaw could be more specific or have some language that would certainly strengthen it,” said McPhail, noting staff are already reviewing the animal control bylaw. “Certainly I don’t think anybody would like to see any animal treated that way.” Committee also asked staff to investigate the provincial government’s position.

Hockey lockout looms large for bars Canucks games can boost sports bar business by 50 per cent by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter It’s game night at Legends Pub and servers are dressed like referees, save for the plunging necklines and shortshorts. Tables are full and eyes—most at least—are glued to TVs around the

Buswell Street bar. But it’s football, not hockey, that’s dominating the screens. Legends is one of many sports bars shifting its focus away from the Vancouver Canucks now that a labour dispute could cancel the NHL season. “When I have a Canuck game, my staff doubles,” said owner Glenn Jensen. “It will obviously take a bite.” The National Hockey League locked out its players at midnight Saturday, and the possibility of the regular season starting on as scheduled Oct. 11 is in

jeopardy. For now, the hockey jerseys are tucked away, but Jensen is nonetheless optimistic other sports will fill the void. “People just need something to do and they don’t want to sit at home and watch the TV,” he said. “Everybody has HD and 50inch screens at home, but I think we just make it a little more entertaining for them.” John Holmes, general manager of the Shark Club Richmond said a Canucks game can increase business by 50 per cent, drawing customers in on what would otherwise be a quieter night.

Planners offer rethink for Richmond Public hearing tentatively set for Nov. 19 on 2041 official community plan by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond is aiming to cut vehicle trips in the city by nearly half, as planners envision a significant boost in transit use, cycling and walking by 2041. Reducing residents’ reliance on the automobile is one ambitious goal outlined in the new official community plan, presented to city council’s planning committee Tuesday. The 402-page document details how land throughout the city will be used over the next three decades. It also outlines how the city should be built, addressing everything from reducing greenhouse gases to boosting the local economy. The plan, which took three years to draft, anticipates 80,000 new residents, 42,000 new homes and 40,000 new jobs to appear in the next three decades. Residents can view the plan at city hall and at richmond.ca. A public hearing is tentatively set for Nov. 19 at city hall. City staff have reimagined how residents will navigate the city in 2041. Planners project 49 per cent of trips will involve vehicles in the future— down from the current 83 per cent. To meet that goal, growth is being focused in City Centre, where transitoriented, pedestrian-friendly developments are rising around Canada Line stations. And future plans call for more bike lanes and trails. “I think it’s going to be extremely difficult,” said Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt, vice-chair of the planning committee. “We have an affluent population. Affluent populations tend to drive.” Getting residents out of their luxury vehicles and into buses will prove difficult, she said, noting such a scheme demands better transit connections. “Right now I don’t think all of the

internal neighbourhoods are being serviced very well, and frankly, I think people are lazier today. I don’t think many of them are willing to walk six, 10 blocks and transfer over at the Canada Line,” she said. “And unfortunately TransLink doesn’t have the funding to be more convenient.” Besides City Centre, other areas to experience growth are neighbourhoods surrounding commercial centres of Broadmoor, Hamilton, East Cambie, Blundell and Garden City. Broadmoor Village’s redevelopment is already nearing completion.

It includes new retail space, rental apartments and townhouses. Coach houses and so-called granny flats are also a new concept to the official community plan. The neighbourhood of Edgemere is the first area where such additions to singlefamily lots will be permitted—outside of arterial roads with lane access, where they’re already being built. The plan also commits the city to probe the possibility of a change in skyline. The current building height limit in Richmond of 46 metres (150 feet) would be examined to give the

city a new look while adding density downtown. All that downtown building will come with new restrictions for developers erecting high-rises next to the Canada Line. The plan requires noise reduction measures in new buildings built within close proximity to the elevated guideway. It also requires similar measures for new developments where multi-family residential buildings meet industrial or commercial buildings. Meeting the city’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets—an 80

per cent reduction of 2007 levels by 2050—is also a focus in the new community plan. Strategies include requesting senior government funding and incentives and requiring developers of multi-family buildings to provide receptacles for electric vehicles in 20 per cent of parking spaces and prewire 45 per cent of spaces for future expansion. The city last updated its community plan in 1999, when Richmond’s population was 168,700. The city now estimates Richmond’s residents to number 199,141.

Woman who didn’t know she was pregnant avoids jail Receives six-month conditional sentence to be served in the community by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A former Richmond resident won’t be spending any time in jail for interfering with her dead baby’s body last summer. Richmond provincial court Judge Ron Fratkin sentenced White Rock’s Carly Pullman to a sixmonth conditional sentence to be served in the community. While Pullman’s lawyer, Kevin Filkow, argued for a conditional discharge that would leave his client without a criminal record, Fratkin disagreed. “The public has to be made aware that...it’s in the public interest for there to be a consequence for not doing what’s necessary,” Fratkin said.

Fratkin quoted from a submission from Crown counsel Gerri-Lyn Nelson who said that had Pullman been honest with police when they first interviewed her following the baby’s delivery in August of 2011, “we wouldn’t be here.” On Aug. 15, 2011, Carly Pullman went into labour and gave birth to a baby inside the bathroom of the home she shared with her then fiance. Pullman said the baby was dead at that point, but an autopsy on the baby proved “inconclusive,” Filkow said. She was about eight months pregnant. Before that point, Pullman didn’t think she was pregnant, and after delivering the dead newborn, disposed of it, and then took herself to a clinic, which turned out to be closed. She then took herself to the hospital. It was there where doctors deduced she’d just given birth, and called police. And that’s when the lies began, Filkow told the court during Friday’s sentencing, as she ini-

tially denied to investigators being pregnant and giving birth. It wasn’t until some time later, after concocting a story and leading police on a wild goose chase, that she admitted to what actually happened and led police to where the baby’s body was dumped. Filkow told the court his client doesn’t have a history of mental illness, and before that day, hadn’t done anything wrong. “This was not a cold-hearted case,” Filkow told the court. Pullman was planning to get married to her then-boyfriend of five years, and had they known she was pregnant, they would have been “delighted”, Filkow said. In the aftermath of what happened, the pair’s relationship ended, and Pullman fell into a state of depression and guilt, isolating herself socially, battling nightmares and losing contact with friends. Pullman currently works full-time as a supervisor at a restaurant and now resides with her family.

After police recovered the child’s body, a funeral service was held, and the child’s remains were cremated, the court was told. A psychiatric evaluation said Pullman’s chances of reoffending are “virtually nil”, Filkow said. Fratkin said this case was different from other case law presented by the Crown. “As a judge we have to...make decisions that are very difficult. And there are some questions to which there is not one right answer,” he said. “When confronted by what she knew to be true, she lied.” Aside from the six-month conditional sentence, Pullman must report daily to a conditional sentence supervisor, and serve a 12-month term of probation. If she does not abide by the conditions of her sentence, she faces the prospect of spending the remainder of it in custody, Nelson noted. “She didn’t avoid jail—that gives an inaccurate perception of the sentence,” Nelson said in an e-mail. “The...conditional sentence order is a jail sentence being served in the community.”

School district looks at child poverty numbers School principals asked to complete survey on anecdotal information by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Locals will have to wait until August of 2013 to get the most up-to-date snapshot of Richmond’s poverty problem when Statistics Canada releases data on family income. In the meantime, the latest insight comes courtesy local school principals, who were asked for their input recently by the Richmond Board of Education. 2005 census data indicated more than one quarter (26 per cent) of Richmond children live at or below the poverty line, defined as families whose income after tax was $21,400 or less. Administrators who work closely with local youth had difficulty pegging the scope of the problem, the school trustees were told at Monday’s board of education meeting. Whether the problem is better, worse or the same today, the impact of poverty is not in dispute.

“Regardless of whether or not there is an “official” definition of poverty, anyone who works in schools understands how children who come from struggling backgrounds which can be the result of low income or other factors, knows that these can have a huge impact on those children and their success in school,” Richmond School District assistant superintendent Nancy Brennan wrote in a report presented this week. Of Richmond’s 48 elementary and high schools, principals at three estimated that 30 per cent or more of its school community were at or below the poverty line. Principals at another six schools pegged that number at between 16 and 20 per cent, and at three other schools, the figure was estimated at between 11 and 15 per cent. One third of local school principals estimated the percentage at between zero and five per cent, while another one fifth indicated the figure was between six and 10 per cent. Principals at nine schools indicated they were “not sure” when asked to “estimate percentage of families living at or below poverty line in each school community.” Brennan wrote that while it isn’t the mandate of the education system to end poverty, educators are aware of the impacts and the need to do something about it.

“It is for this reason that schools do what they can to try to mitigate the situation for some of our less fortunate students,” she wrote. At Richmond’s 38 elementary schools, 11 have a hot lunch program, which is a user-pay service that in some schools is subsidized for some students. Nine local elementary schools have a breakfast club, funded by grants, charities and businesses, and operated by volunteer staff. At the elementary and high school level, there are many efforts to help less-fortunate families. From Christmas hampers to families in need, to an emergency food cupboard to deal with kids who“forgot”their lunches at home, to free school supplies, the efforts are many and varied. “When considering the huge number of initiatives that are listed here and that have been voluntarily undertaken by staff and the school community, one can’t help but be impressed by the dedication and hard work of these people,” Brennan said. But if the child poverty levels continue to grow? “...(I)t is simple to surmise that eventually school staffs and PACs may not be able to continue to support the larger number of needier students,” Brennan said. De Whalen, chair of the Richmond Poverty Response Committee, said she’s not surprised by the responses from principals.

She said elementary schools in the downtown area—Cook, Brighouse and General Currie elementaries—contain a lot of needy families. “There are a lot of low-income new immigrants and refugee families living there,” Whalen said, “trying to work their buns off to make a living.” She said one look at the Richmond Food Bank’s demands suggests local poverty levels are on the rise. “I think that it’s increasing because of the fact the food bank distribution times are increasing and the number of families going there are increasing.” Margaret Hewlett, executive director of the Richmond Food Bank, said that since 2007, demand at the food bank has been on the upswing. Today, some 530 households are served weekly, a number that is expected to rise as the year goes on. Fewer than 16,000 shopping visits were made in 2007, but that number has skyrocketed since, up by 59 per cent. In 2011, there were 24,912 shopping visits. Hewlett said the proportion of young people under 18 who use the food bank hit a high of 38 per cent in 2002, then fell to 29 per cent in 2007, only to increase again to 31 per cent last year. One troubling trend: there are far more seniors using the food bank today, she said.

Richmond Sockeyes benefited from last NHL lockout From Page 1 “A lot of people do use it as an excuse to get out of the house. They come out and enjoy some good food and good drink and watch a game.” Without hockey, Holmes said his 40-screen sports bar will have to get creative. “We’re going to try and find some other things people might be interested in watching. We’re definitely pushing NFL and NBA. There’s a pretty good contingent of NBA watchers in Richmond.” Holmes figures players will be back on the ice in December, and in the meantime fans will watch other sports.

“Whether it’s basketball or whether it’s little league baseball, I don’t know, but nothing replaces hockey, especially in Vancouver.” Despite the dark cloud, there could be a silver lining. No NHL season could draw more fans to Minoru Arenas to see the Richmond Sockeyes, the local Pacific International Junior Hockey League team. Richard Petrowsky, the team’s general manager, remembers seeing a boost in attendance at junior games during the last lockout of 2004-05. Said Petrowsky: “People still want to see their hockey.”

Townhouses proposed for site formely eyed as a park Redeveloping neighbourhood of West Cambie set for area plan change by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter As many as 240 townhouses will be built in an area designated as natural parkland if city council approves an area plan

change for West Cambie. Planners at Richmond City Hall Tuesday urged council’s planning committee to make the change for a 4.86-hectare (12-acre) site near Alderbridge Way and No. 4 Road. In March, council voted 6-1 to allow development on the land, reversing a 2006 decision to turn the area—currently privately owned and occupied by large-lot single-family homes—into a natural park.

Now staff are pushing for townhouses, one of two options it presented at a recent public open house, the other being a mix of townhouses and apartments. Staff say townhouses would complement developments to the north. According to a staff report, a city hall survey yielded 21 responses. Besides collecting comments on the housing options, staff also fielded other suggestions for the land:

retain the park and build an animal shelter. A resident of the neighbouring Wishing Tree townhouse complex also responded, expressing “concerns that many own-

ers of the units…were promised that the lands next to it would be protected as a natural park when they made their purchases.” Staff noted the city

bought the Garden City lands in 2010 and that “some of these lands may be available to West Cambie and city residents for a variety of open space and other needs…”

Minoru Chapel CANADIAN WESTERN BANK

Creating a park would also cost the city approximately $23.6 million in land costs, according to a 2006 estimate. A public hearing is tentatively set for Oct. 15.

Shark fins have no taste Editor: Re: “Consuming shark fin soup is legal,” Letters. We have seen letter-writer Mr. Lim and his ilk before. They were on horseback riding across the Great Plains and slaughtering every buffalo they could shoot. They were standing there, shotguns in hand, as the last passenger pigeon was wiped from the skies. They have caused the world to ban whale killing to save the few mammals that escaped their harpoon. Now Mr. Lim cries foul because non-Chinese people can see the on-coming destruction of the shark species around the world, and the terrible effect that will have on the oceans, while he still wants to eat his precious shark fin soup as part of his legal right of being a Chinese Canadian citizen. But wait! He will not eat shark fins that have been caught illegally or by finning, which is the act of cutting off a shark’s fins and then tossing the rest of the shark overboard. And how will he know? Why,

At the current rate of shark harvesting, the fisheries biologists of leading fishing nations have concluded that the shark stocks will collapse in seven to 10 years. if the shark fin is allowed into Canada, then the onus is on “the authorities to ensure that illegally harvested shark fins do not enter Canada”, that’s how. And I guess “the authorities” are supposed to monitor each individual fishing boat in southeast. Asia to make sure Mr. Lim’s principles are guarded and respected. His arguments are are dangerous. At the current rate of shark harvesting, the fisheries biologists of leading fishing nations have concluded that

the shark stocks will collapse in seven to 10 years, and there won’t be enough left to reproduce, thus sending one more species onto the ‘Extinct List’. And here is the stupidest part of all—shark fins have no taste! They are just cartilage. To give the soup taste, the cooks add chicken broth, and then the diners add other condiments like “red rice vinegar and pepper.” You could be eating ground-up transit tickets for all it matters, and get the same result. So, to take Mr. Lim’s argument to its conclusion, it is his right to continue to eat shark fins as part of a Chinese custom until either the fishing for shark fins is banned worldwide, or all the sharks are gone. What then, Mr. Lim, for you and your sacred custom? What will you choose to consume instead? I have a suggestion: a large order of crow, humble if you can find it. You choose whether or not to add vinegar and pepper. Bryan Cousineau Richmond

community Trails closed as dry conditions persist Shell Road trail, nature park trails among those closed Saturday’s small brush fire near Westminster Highway and Shell Road has prompted the City of Richmond to take the precautionary step of closing trails at Richmond Nature Park. While the fire was doused quickly and there were no injuries or significant damage, the ongoing warm temperatures has civic of-

ficials worried. The undergrowth in parks and along trails is “extremely dry,” the city said in a press release. Any fires in these areas has the potential to spread very quickly. That’s why the city on Monday took the step to close the trails at Richmond Nature Park, including the Nature Park East site along with the Shell Road and Horseshore Slough Trails. The closures will remain in effect until further notice. Signs have been posted to mark the closure of the trails.

Cigarettes and matches should be disposed of in ashtrays, not out car windows or off balconies, the city cautioned. The ban on outdoor burning remains in effect, meaning no open fires and charcoal barbecues are permitted, including in all beach areas. Only propane barbecues and stoves are permitted in parks. If you see a brush fire, call 911 immediately, the city said. For more information on the closures, call the parks department at 604-244-1208. —by Martin van den Hemel

Community police station opens The former home of The Richmond Review is in the news once again, this time following an amazing transformation. But helping the community is still the core activity despite the makeover, at the new City Centre Community Police Station. “The location of this station is ideal,” Richmond RCMP Supt. Rendall Nesset said. “It ensures we have a strong, highly visible police presence in our city centre while also providing a centralized, convenient work space that supports a variety of important community policing crime prevention initiatives.” The new station will serve as the home of Block Watch, under coordinator Shyreen Sharma, along with other crimeprevention programs, including Lock Out Auto Crime, Speed Watch, Business Watch and Pedestrian Safety. Locals are invited to check out the new station, at the corner of No. 3 Road and Lansdowne (140-5671 No. 3 Rd.), directly behind the Richmond Centre for Disability. All week this week, a different program will be highlighted. On Wednesday, Sept. 19, a police officer and ATV and/or the Kubota vehicle will be displayed from 3 to 6 p.m. Official grand opening celebrations take place tomorrow from 2 to 3 p.m. On Friday, bicycle safety and engraving will be front and centre from 3 to 6 p.m. —by Martin van den Hemel

Pets win prizes! Do you know someone devoted to their pet, someone who treats their little darling to the best life has to offer? If this is you or someone you know, enter your pet into the Pets Win Prizes contest. First prize includes four tickets to opening night of Gateway Theatre’s hit comedy Sylvia October 12, plus a $250 gift certificate from Jet Pet Resort and a $250 gift from Bosley’s Pet Food Plus. Second prize is $100 gift certificates from Jet Pet and Bosley’s, while third prize includes $50 gift certificates to both stores.

With children away at college, they’re ready to begin a new chapter in their lives. But plans change when Greg falls in love with Sylvia , a stray dog he finds in the park. The fun is that we get to hear what his pet thinks and feels because the role is played by a person (Sarah Jessica Parker originated the role almost 20 years ago). Tickets for Sylvia are available at gatewaytheatre.com To enter, submit a picture of your pet (or a pet you’d like to have) online.

Sports Editor Aaron Wilbur is 1-1 as head coach of the Richmond Sockeyes. But he’s confident the best is yet to come. Going into tonight’s (Wednesday) game in Aldergrove against the Kodiaks, before returning home to host the Port Moody Black Panthers tomorrow (Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Minoru Arenas), the Sockeyes’ bench boss is generally pleased with his team’s effort level through their first two games of the 2012-13 Pacific International Junior Hockey League schedule. And while results are important, he’s perhaps even more

concerned about the process. “It’s good to get into a routine quickly and develop a bit of a rhythm for the season,” said Wilbur. “I took away a lot of positives (from the Sockeyes’ 5-3 openingnight win over Grandview Steelers in Richmond last Thursday and 2-1 overtime loss to the Devils in North Delta Saturday), but like every team realize there are still lots of things to work on.” After looking jittery in the first period, he liked the way the Sockeyes settled things down for the final two frames against Grandview. But while they started well in North Delta, and for the most part controlled

play, they had difficulty getting the puck to the net and finding ways to score. “Early on in any season you expect things that are going to be frustrating,” said Wilbur. “I know it’s a cliche, but what we want to do is focus on things a day a time. I feel we should have had a better result Saturday, but our focus now has to on what we need to do better for our next game.” Wilbur expects Aldergrove, against whom Richmond went 1-1 in a pair of exhibition games, to be especially hungry after a 5-4 loss to Grandview on Sunday.

Don Fennell photo Head coach Bill Haddow is excited about the prospective fortunes of the Hugh Boyd Trojans this season. The local high school senior AA team kicks off its regular season Sept. 29 in South Delta, but has already played a pair of exhibition games, winning once and losing the other.

High hopes at Hugh Boyd Ground game will centre around trio of Grade 12 players by Don Fennell Sports Editor A year ago, the Hugh Boyd Trojans made it all the way to the provincial high school football semifinals. This year, they’d like to think they can do one better—perhaps even win it all. “I think we’re going to be really competitive,” coach Bill Haddow says of his senior AA squad. “We’re still fitting the pieces together, but it seems more than ever we’ve got guys who can play multiple positions. It’s a good problem, so the idea is to find the right 11 guys to put on the field (at any one time).” Three Grade 12s in particular could determine CONTESTS CONTES TS PRODU PRODUCTS CTS STORE STORES S FLY FLYERS ERS DEALS DEALS COUPO COUPONS NS BROCHU BRO CHURES RES CATAL CATALOGU OGUES ES CON CONTES TESTS TS PRODU PRODUCTS CTS STORE STORES S FLYERS FLY ERS DEALS DEALS COUPO COUPONS NS BRO BROCHU CHURES RES CATAL CATALOGU OGUES ES

the Trojans’ destiny—Bryce Mosley at quarterback, Riley Galloway at fullback and Travis Coutts at tailback. Though he didn’t play a lot last season as the backup to starting QB Tiernan Docherty, Mosley brings both athleticism and a good understanding of the game to the table. “Bryce is a good student of the game and that will help,” says Haddow. Galloway and Coutts also have plenty of football experience, both at the high school and community level, and early in the season, at least, will be front and centre as the Trojans are expected to gain most of their yardage on the ground as opposed to through the air.

Defence Trojans’ calling card See Page 17 But as talented as the backs may be, they’ll need to get strong support from the line. That’s likely to be a work in progress, since Haddow expects to start the season with at least three Grade 11s up front. “Obviously experience is big in football as in anything in life,” he says. “But no one’s ever got a totally Grade 12 team and I’ve always believed that Grade 11s make your team all things being equal. It’s how well they can play that ultimately determines your success.” Haddow is confident Simon Jo-

hal, Ryan Carriere and Alex Grandan will meet the challenge, but reiterates the jump from junior to senior ball is a big one. “There are different blocking schemes you need to employ at the senior level which you may not in junior, and sometimes it takes a while before you’re comfortable,” he says. If there’s one area the Trojans seem to be set it’s on the defensive side of the ball. Linebacker Kory Nagata leads the way and is, suggests Haddow, the Trojans’ most consistent player overall. Guard and defensive lineman

Kayden Porbeni is another returning player that is being counted on heavily. “I love our defence,” says Haddow. “Even in our first (pre-season) game (a 31-0 loss to Lord Tweedsmuir on Sept. 7) they played really well, it was just they were on the field all day. And they played well again Friday (in Hugh Boyd’s 16-6 exhibition win over the Handsworth Royals).” Hugh Boyd is slated to visit Robert Bateman for another exhibition tilt this Friday (Sept. 21) and will kickoff their regular season at South Delta on Sept. 29.

SNORING? Allergies SLEEP APNEA? As recommended by Dr. GiffordJones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

<I used Bell Allergy Relief #24 for 2 years. I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24 I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. No problem working with hardwoods or O.S.B. sheeting. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB <Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches. Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO < For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH <Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX <God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

Local talent on World Cup stage Summer Clarke suiting up for Canada at women’s U17 championship in Azerbaijan by Don Fennell Sports Editor When Richmond’s Summer Clarke and her Canadian teammates arrived in Baku on Tuesday morning, it was impossible not to appreciate the anticipation in the streets. With only a few days to go before the official kickoff Saturday, excitement is already reaching a feverish pitch as Azerbaijan prepares to host the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup. The downtown core of the ancient Eastern European city is heavily decorated with soccer attire. At the core is an enormous fan zone called Football Land, replete with TVs and couches to watch the matches. There are also numerous soccer-related activities and tons of advertising.

During a leisurely morning stroll, Clarke and her mates soon became instant celebrities, posing for pictures with the locals. “I guess the media people did a great job of getting the word out about the World Cup,” Clarke said from Baku, where the Canadians are preparing for their first group stage match Saturday versus Nigeria. (CBC is broadcasting the game live at 5 a.m. Pacific time as well as Canada’s remaining Group A matches versus Columbia at 2 a.m. Sept. 25 and Azerbaijan at 8 a.m. Sept. 29). Though she just celebrated her 17th birthday last month, Clarke is expected to play a key role in Canada’s fortunes. Her six goals led all players (among all nations) at the CONCACAF Under-17 championship in May in Guatemala, where Canada qualified for the World

Cup with a second-place finish (to the U.S.). Clarke hopes to bring that same kind of scoring to the World Cup stage, but expects the level of competition will make it even more challenging. “Still, I think if I do the work off the ball, the goals will come,” she said, adding an already positive team dynamic has been boosted by the support of the locals. “I’m very proud (to be representing Canada),” she said. “After our recent friendly against China, a bunch of young children around (the region of Azerbaijan) where we were playing came to say hi. It was really sweet because they kept saying, ‘Canada, Canada’ in their accents and blowing us kisses. (The opportunity) to be an inspiration to girls in Canada as well as Azerbaijan is amazing.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;CROSLEYâ&#x20AC;?, ID # 259322, NM, DSH CROSS, 2 YEARS 6 MONTHS Crosley arrived in Richmond from the Chilliwack SPCA via the Drive for Lives Program. He originally came to the Williams Lake SPCA as a stray. He is a big 2 year old who enjoys relaxing. This handsome young man needs a loving home who will help him shed some of his extra pounds. His favourite game is hide-and-go-seek under a blanket. You can keep him entertained for hours! Crosley is extremely friendly with people who respect when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had enough attention and is always looking for his next snuggle. He is a laidback cat who is generally found resting!

carnival came to town for Lansdowne Centre’s 35th anniversary celebration last Saturday.

The celebration was a chance for the mall to say thank you to everyone who has been shopping there over the years. “The idea is to give back to the community,” said Bronwyn Bailey, the marketing director at Lansdowne Centre. A ring toss, cow milking contest and balloon popping station were among the nine carnival games set up for kids in two main areas of the mall. Prizes were given out at each station includ-

ing little stuffed animals, balloons, temporary tattoos, bags and slinkys. “The carnival games (were) a total hit,” Bailey said. One of the best parts of the event was seeing “the kids having a blast,” she said. In keeping with the carnival theme, kids had the chance to get their face painted and have a balloon animal made for them. Many of the restaurants at the centre

As a community shopping centre, Lansdowne holds events on a weekly basis. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Richmond Review. She may be reached at amanda.oye@telus.net.

Come home to natural gas Natural gas offers comfort, convenience and value Your home is perhaps your most important investment. It costs money to maintain it, and needs energy to run it. By choosing the right energy for the right use, you can maximize energy efficiency and value for your energy dollars. Natural gas is a good choice for heating, whether it’s hot water for a shower or warmth from the furnace or fireplace. It’s also great for barbecuing burgers on the patio. And, with the variety of stylish natural gas appliances and rebates available, upgrading your appliances to natural gas is more affordable. Find energy efficiency rebates that meet your needs at fortisbc.com/offers.

Natural gas makes your summers seem endless A natural gas barbecue never runs out of fuel. If you have a natural gas patio heater or fire pit, you can stay outside long after summer‘s over.

G. Wilson Construction takes house down to the studs to create new paradise “ from page.1 major work including electrical and plumbing to bring it up to code but with the exception of ... some of the rooms (being) opened up to bring in more light and to create larger rooms, the layout remained the same.” The house has three floors, with the bedrooms on the top floor and some in the typical old unfinished basement of the era which had lower ceilings. “No question it was a challenge, 5,000 square feet of a complete gut job and renovation and the clients wanted to take residence in eight months,” says Wilson. “A further surprise was the clients decided they wanted the basement lowered three feet to make it usable, all in the same eight months. The approach we take on a project this size, after we have documented every detail, is to remove everything that can be reused, repaired or salvaged. Anything we didn’t reuse which still had some life in it was donated.” They took down all the light fixtures and sent to them off to storage. The beautiful front staircase was completely covered with plywood to protect it from any damage. The fireplaces were protected in place and a few other features were removed and catalogued. All the interior doors and hardware were removed and stored. When that was done they went in and completely gutted the house right down to the studs. “We then brought in the structural engineers and they went through what was required to bring the house up to twenty-first century standards,” Wilson says. “Next we removed all the electrical wiring and all the plumbing. All the mechanics were removed including a big old boiler in the basement covered in asbestos.” Once the house was rewired, replumbed and all new mechanics installed it was on to

the good stuff. The kitchen is very modern but really works. The kitchen is one of the areas of the house where walls were removed to create a larger space. The old kitchen, dinette and dining room became the new kitchen and dining room. “Sean (Ruf), the architect, did an amazing job bringing the house up to the twenty-first century but at the same time leaving the timeless elegance of the era,” Wilson says. “Even in the kitchen, which is very modern, the hardware on the doors is the original and it just looks fantastic next to this streamlined room.” Well done to all who worked on this project and the owners who fell in love and had the sensibility to see past the surface and were willing to invest.

The exterior of the house, above, was not touched except to repair anything that was rotten. The new kitchen, below, is modern and sleek, while the new bathroom, left, and living area, below left, fit perfectly in this beautiful house. Submitted photo left, all others Martin Knowles photos

A window on the world “ from page.1 says Craig Lovell, sales manager at A1 Windows. However, the cost savings aren’t the only concern when you’re thinking about replacing old windows. “Many people are replacing single-glazed aluminum windows with energy-efficient vinyl frames, (which increases) their personal comfort and health by preventing drafts, condensation and potential mold or mildew growth,” says Lovell. “Not only are old metal frames greater conductors of heat, they are also doing a great job of conducting noise as well. Newer frames and double-glazing can significantly reduce the noise on the inside of a home or an apartment.” Lovell also notes that many older windows don’t meet current building requirements, so they can be a safety issue if not replaced. If you’re concerned about the sun doing damage to your skin, the energy-efficient coating on new windows also offers protection from harmful UV rays. When you’re considering replacing your windows, it’s best to think about a few things first. “The objective should be to get the overall best value for your budget,” says Lovell. “To do this it is always best to have a knowledgeable salesperson review the options with you at your home.” Good companies will offer free in-home estimates, which will give you a better idea of what is in store for you. A great thing about this type of renovation is how quickly your new windows will be installed, usually within a day. “People are often surprised at how quick it can be,” says Lovell. With many different options available to you, it’s best to consider the type of glass and type of frame that you are looking for.

Products ❱❱ QuAlified trAdes ❱❱ exPert Advice ❱❱

“Typically vinyl frames offer the best overall value for their insulation properties and price,” says Lovell. “It is now possible to get good quality painted vinyl that allows you to get creative if you wish.” When energy efficiency is on the top of your list, the glass makes a difference as well. “The number of panes of glass combined with reflective coatings and an inert gas fill such as Argon between the panes provides increased energy efficiency,” Lovell says. The installation of your windows also must be taken into account, since everything can be undone if it’s not completed properly. “Poor installation can negate superior window performance,” says Lovell. “Unless you are doing extensive renovations it is often best to have one company to do both the supply and the installation. They are the ones most familiar with their products and will often warranty not only the product but their installation for a period of years.” Government grants and rebates for installing energy-efficient windows are available through BC Hydro’s LiveSmart program. The ENERGY STAR system rates windows by zone, with the Lower Mainland being Zone A. Installing a window that is rated for this zone will garner you a rebate, but Lovell recommends installing a window rated for one zone higher, which will give you an even better rebate. “It doubles the rebate” per window, he says, “from $30 to $60.” Energy efficiency is a growing trend in both new home construction and renovations, but it is more than a passing fad. Keeping your energy costs low will save you money in the long run as well as protecting the planet.

When you’re considering replacing your windows to increase the energy efficiency of your home, it’s best to take a look at several factors, including the type of glass and the frame.

Adding a few decorative accents an easy change “Another way to dress a doorway is the application of a header, with or without a plinth,” says Cook. “A header is a build-up of a crown mould along the top and past the casing. The header can be as plain or as detailed as you wish. One thing homeowners should keep in mind when going this route is you should follow suit throughout the whole house.” Another point to keep in mind is to stay true to your personal style. If you are comfortable with a minimalist style your mouldings should reflect that. Concrete floors and countertops are wonderful but when coupled with fancy moulding, it’s more than a little jarring. The good news is there is a product for every wish list and probably some you haven’t dreamed of yet.

By Maggie Calloway If you want to personalize your home or you are in the process of looking for a new one, don’t be discouraged by the endless “sameness” of home after home. By some very simple applications of mouldings or baseboards, you can take a plain Jane home from boring to wow! Don’t make the mistake of thinking great crown moulding, baseboards and all endless permutations are only for big stately homes; you can put your stamp on your present home by some pretty simple but effective applications. Terry Cook, the manager of Nucasa – The Finishing Touch is an expert on finding the perfect combination for your home. “Crown mouldings work extremely well on eight-foot-ceilings, as do baseboards; they just need to be proportionate,” he says. “On an eight-foot ceiling you probably want to stay within 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches, 5 1/4” maximum for the ceiling but the ideal is the 4 1/4 crown moulding. ... Then you would complement that with a 4 1/4 to a 5 1/4 to as low as a 3 1/4 baseboard; don’t go any lower because it would get lost and if you go higher it’s too loud and out of proportion.” Let’s not forget door and window casings. Both present more opportunities to add depth. There are a number of applications, including rosettes. These squares of wood with a pattern, applied to the top corners of a door frame, make a huge difference when coupled with plinths at the bottom. The plinths stand about six inches tall and together with the rosettes they look stunning, taking the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Terry Cook of Nucasa says that crown moulding and baseboards aren’t just for grand mansions. Even adding some depth to the ceiling, left and above left, can make a difference. Martin Knowles photos

Saving yourself from stress when building onto your home By Kerry Vital Your home is looking a bit crowded lately, and now you’re considering building an addition. Perhaps your family has grown in recent years, or you just want a bit of extra space for entertaining. There are many things to consider when undertaking such a project, but John Friswell of CCI Renovations has some tips for homeowners. “You need to ensure you have enough space,” he says. Municipalities have different rules for the height and width of a structure, so it is important to do some research before deciding on what the addition will look like. Figuring out your budget is also important before you start speaking to renovation companies. “Budget expectations are wide and varied,” says Friswell. “It’s dependent on site, structure and what you’re putting in it. Bedrooms and living rooms are cheaper, while kitchens and bathrooms are more expensive.” As to whether you will be able to live in your home during the construction, Friswell says it depends on the type of reno-

vation. If you will be working on a master bedroom and ensuite that only connects to a hallway, that will be a different story than building another wing from scratch. “We always recommend that owners might want to head out,” he says. “It can be a lot of stress and a lot of mess for them.” When deciding on a design for your new project, it’s best to look at what you like and dislike about your current house. “We go through a questionnaire to find out their thoughts,” Friswell says. “We need to know why they’re doing a renovation. Usually it’s because they don’t have enough space.” Whether you’re expanding the living area or adding a bathroom, discussing your plans with a professional and doing your research will stand you in good stead. While it can be a long process, ending up with a home you love is never time or money wasted.

Accessorizing the bathroom easier than ever By Kerry Vital The fixtures in your bathroom are looking dated, or perhaps you’ve moved into an older home and want to give it an update. You’re contemplating replacing them with something new, but there’s a number of choices available, and you’re not sure where to start. Perhaps it’s best to get the advice of a professional. “You need to trust the sales staff,” says Shelli Auclair, showroom manager for Universal Supply. The sales staff at Universal Supply’s Artistic Baths showrooms all have over 10 years experience with helping customers find their perfect fit, so taking advantage of their expertise will give you some peace of mind. “Our people can read blueprints and know building codes,” Auclair says. “We’ve seen some bad design out there.

Finding an oasis of calm in the midst of a busy life By Maggie Calloway Long gone are the days when bathrooms were pretty basic, even utilitarian, rooms. Now we have in-home spa bathrooms with steam showers, huge walk-in rain head showers, heated towel bars and wall-to-wall granite or marble. Even if you are not in the market for all the bells and whistles, it is possible to have an inviting bathroom that not only services your family but is attractive to a possible future buyer. Mike Merakian of Blue Ocean Construction not only builds custom bathrooms but also installs scores of bathrooms for Home Depot so his experience is varied and substantial. “Obviously it all depends on the customer’s taste and budget; that is the starting point,” he says. He’s noticed that there are several recent trends. “For Home Depot we install soaker tubs, 90 per cent of the bathrooms have tile on the walls and we are doing more and more all-inone vanities. These vanities have the sink and the counter all-in-one; it’s a step that saves time and money and they are very attractive, like a piece of furniture,” he says. “Being able to fit this unit into the bathroom and just connect the plumbing is a huge time saver. Rather than ordering various parts, such as sink and counter which could take weeks to arrive, this new all-in-one system is very efficient.” Gone are the days of placing tile directly onto the walls in the shower stall and bath. Now membranes called a Schluter system, specially made for water resistance, are carefully installed seamlessly, before tiling, to prevent water leakage and mold. “There are other methods of water proofing, of course, in fact we now have five or six different applications we can use on shower

All-in-one vanities, above, are a rising trend in spa-like bathrooms. Mike Merakian of Blue Ocean Construction says that soaker tubs, bottom right, are one of the top sellers right now. Submitted photos

walls where ten years ago we just had two. Whatever method is used, it is the most important part of renovating anywhere there is water and humidity,” says Merakian. If you are building a custom bathroom the sky is the limit, Merakian says. “Custom showers and steam showers with frameless glass are big. Heated floors are huge; we used to use coil pads but by running wire and covering with a skim coat of concrete we have more flexibility. Niches in the shower stalls for shampoo and such, sometimes with custom shapes, are once again popular.” Even the sealing of the grout has come a

long way. “There are very narrow wheels you dip into the sealing solution and run over the dry grout,” says Merakian. “Now we have a lot of coloured sealers so if your grout is stained you can go over it with coloured sealer and it looks brand-new.” Have fun when planning your new bathroom but keep the main features neutral. You can’t go wrong with pure white, and if you want to introduce some colour, walls and towels are where you should concentrate. This is a room where you can recharge after a long day so indulge yourself.

Why are we so afraid of colour? We need colour in our climate of grey drizzly days for months on end and it is so easy to achieve. Spend a few dollars on cushions or paint a wall or a room and if you don’t like it just buy another galleon of paint and start again. It’s just paint! Karen Campbell, principal of Esprit Décor Interior Design, agrees and has done wonderful things with colour in her own home. “I painted a wall in my living room tangerine orange, and I love it,” says Campbell. “Standing in my new addition and looking down my hallway you see the orange wall then if I open the door you see lime green in the kitchen then you catch a glimpse of my bedroom, which is a pale bluesy green.” A great place to start is to check out the fantastic websites of all the paint manufacturers.

Making your kitchen into a gourmet’s dream By Maggie Calloway It seems like a dichotomy that in today’s world with everyone short of time, running here and there, that home cooking has seen a renaissance. Not only are people cooking but they are cooking from scratch. They’re not only making pasta but actually making the dough! There is a growing concern about where our food is coming from and how it is grown. The only way to really know what goes into our food is to pick it out personally, and that is where the wonderful explosion of farmer’s markets come in; we can talk to the grower directly and even form weekly relationships with our favourite farmer. The choice of fresh fruit and vegetables plus specialty cheeses and breads is enough to get the most jaded among us salivating! Dave Werner is the owner of Cookworks, two stores in Vancouver dedicated to the home chef. The stores offer up an Aladdin’s treasure trove matching the jobs to products. “It’s very interesting how people are going back to basics,” he says. “A carpenter needs good tools and a cook needs good tools too so we would recommend starting with a very good set of knives; they make preparation so much easier.” The recent recession has sparked a trend in cooking, Werner says. “People are looking for things that fall into a couple of categories. There is a return to quality products, (and) people who are really into cooking for the family plus entertaining, and want products that do the job (and) will last, and they are willing to invest. People are returning to core basics; they would rather have one good pot than dozens of gadgets.” One surprising thing Werner mentioned was how so many people are canning. That is really returning to core values! “Living where we do with such an abundance of fresh product from surrounding

farms, people are really taking advantage of the availability,” says Werner. “Pressure cooking is also having a big resurgence; people may not have a lot of time but they are finding ways of cooking healthy food.” Baking from scratch is another big thing these days with the whole family getting involved. They may not bake on a daily basis but when they do they once again want to know what is going into the food their family is eating. Werner says his stores can hardly keep stand mixers on the shelf, which is a 180-degree turn from four or five years ago. With the explosion of excellent cooking shows on the Food Network, I have to admit I have a soft spot for Jamie Oliver, a British chef who has hosted several cooking shows, including The Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and Jamie Oliver’s Food Escapes. His genuine enthusiasm for learning and the delighted expression on his face when he completes a recipe makes me smile, and the easy access to any recipe, simple or complicated, on the web feeds the imagination. Did you know there are websites where you can list what you have in your pantry and up pops a recipe? Just Google “recipes by ingredients” and you will have a choice of websites. There are also a number of applications available for your smartphone that will give you recipe ideas and allow you to make a grocery list straight from the recipe. Next thing we know people are going to start getting rid of lawns and planting their own fruit and vegetables. Wouldn’t that be great?

Building the perfect home gym starts with finding a pleasing place to put it “ from page.1

at home, is to exercise in ways that actually mirror real life movements. Many old-fashioned strength moves aren’t actually applicable to how your muscles move on a daily basis, so machines that make you work the muscles that you do use are especially important. “There’s a rise in sports like Crossfit,” says Manuel. “It’s functional fitness.” Crossfit is an exercise program where people do daily workouts using jump ropes, dumbbells and their own body weight, as well as other types of apparatus. Another popular program right now is P90X, short for Power 90 Extreme. It is an at-home regimen that lasts 90 days and includes yoga, martial arts, aerobic exercise and weight training. Manuel says he’s seen many people purchase the program lately, because it doesn’t need to be done at a gym and uses minimal equipment. “There’s a convenience factor there,” he says. When you picture weight training, you probably think of a full set of free weights and a bench, with muscle men grunting and straining to finish that last repetition. However, that’s not all that’s available anymore. New innovations in strength training include weighted kettlebells, Steelbells, which are made of neoprene and filled with steel shot, weighted body bars, and weighted ropes and chains (perhaps not something to do if you live in an apartment). As always, there are still the classic barbells and dumbbells, but now they can be brightly coloured and wrapped in neoprene to lessen the chance of calluses. When it comes to where to put your home gym, Manuel says it’s important to put it in a place that you actually want to visit. “If it’s not a space that you enjoy, it will become a reason not to exercise,” he says, adding that many people put their gym in a spare bedroom or garage because they’re easy places to put equipment. “If you don’t make it easy, you won’t do it,” he says. While some people can run on a treadmill for hours without getting bored, others need something to distract them. Installing a television or grabbing your iPod might help you forget that you’re burning calories. “I believe in being productive,” Manuel says. “Some people can read a book or a magazine while exercising. I can’t!” A common misconception that many people have is that you need a large space to exercise in, but Manuel says that’s untrue. “You can do incredible things in tight spaces. ... I can give people a workout with just a medicine ball.” When deciding on what kind of equipment to buy, it’s best to consult a professional for some tips. “It’s really specific to the goals of the individual,” Manuel says. “What are you trying to accomplish?” And lest you worry about getting bored with your routine and therefore stopping before you see results, Manuel says that shouldn’t be a problem. “There are lots of tools readily available,” he says. “You’re not doing the same thing every day. There is a lot more variety.” If you’re feeling a little bit tender after a workout, you don’t have to suffer. While it’s completely normal to feel a bit of soreness when you’re doing a new routine, don’t push yourself into an injury. “You have to go by how you feel,” Manuel says. Fitness and sports stores carry several pieces of equipment that can be used to untie some of your knots, from foam rollers to the plain old tennis ball. However, it is always recommended to consult your doctor before starting on any fitness regimen, especially if you haven’t worked out in a long time or if you have any injuries or health problems.

Dai Manuel, chief operating officer of Fitness Town, recommends people looking to build their own home gym invest in one piece of resistance equipment and one piece of cardio equipment as a starting point. Resistance equipment includes functional trainers, below right, and kettlebells, below left. Cardio equipment include treadmills, bottom, or elliptical trainers. Martin Knowles photos
