Serious judge shortage at Richmond court Courts are trying to deal with less by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter “It’s an impossible day today,” Richmond provincial court Judge Ron Fratkin said Wednesday morning, as he perused a taxing court list burdened with serious cases and too few hours in which to appropriately deal with them. In courtroom 107 stood 11 lawyers, nearly shoulder-toshoulder, jockeying for position in hopes that their matters would be dealt with. But on this day, like so many others since April, lawyers, their clients, victims and witnesses walked away disappointed as there simply aren’t enough judges working in Richmond to deal with the case load. The problem was so dire last May that on one day, not a single judge was available in Richmond. Among Wednesday’s victims of the judge shortage were Patrick Barney Hynes and his lawyer. They came for Hynes’ sentencing hearing for bringing a firearm aboard an airplane. Hynes flew out from Montreal for the sentencing, but since he plans on relocating to the West Coast, the two-week delay he was faced with Wednesday won’t put him out of pocket, but was still an annoyance. “At the end of the day you need more judges,” Hynes’ lawyer Derek Birch said outside the entrance to the courthouse. “And everybody knows that and has known it for years.”
Richmond provincial court has just two-and-a-half judges working weekly, when it could use as many as four. The only full-time judge is Judge Jane McKinnon. Judge Ron Fratkin and Judge Dennis Schmidt share a full-time position, alternating two months at a time. Judge Patrick Chen is the administrative judge, who splits his time between the provincial court on Robson Street in Vancouver, and Richmond provincial court on Firbridge Way. So when Hynes’ case was called, and Birch stepped forward, Fratkin’s words spoke volumes: “I don’t need to tell you what the problem is. It’s not me, it’s the whole deal.” Hynes case would have taken two-and-a-half hours, but Fratkin, shaking his head but adding levity with a smile, said: “You won’t get two-and-a-half minutes.” When it was pointed out that the courthouse could use another judge, Fratkin said: “An additional judge? There is one? I’m forcing an adjournment because we have no court time to deal with this.” And Fratkin said this would remain the case “today or for the foreseeable future.” But Wednesday was simply the calm before the storm. Many serious cases are scheduled to come before the court this fall, and the lack of court time could lead to defence lawyers applying for charge dismissal, on the grounds their clients weren’t given a speedy trial. Criminal defence lawyer Jason Tarnow said what Richmond has been experiencing of late is not a new problem. “It’s been ongoing in other jurisdictions in British Columbia for the last year or so. It’s starting to hit Richmond quite commonly
Martin van den Hemel photo Delays linked to a lack of funding at Richmond provincial court are frustrating judges, lawyers, victims, families, witnesses and the accused, and there’s no end in sight.
now because there’s a shortage of judges.” But Tarnow emphasized that the judge shortage is only one part of an overall lack of justice system funding. Even the Crown is dealing with less. “I had a recent case where the Crown said they would need to adjourn the trial date because they didn’t have enough prosecutors to work on the file,” Tarnow said this week. In Surrey, those looking to set a trial date consider themselves lucky if they get something within 12 months, he said. Once the delays stretch to 15 months, that’s considered the
“danger zone”, Tarnow said, of excessive delays of the type that could lead to charges being dropped. And then there’s the everyday people who are getting hurt. “It has huge ripple effects throughout society,” Tarnow said.“It doesn’t just affect people accused of committing crimes.” Court delays can lead to families being torn apart, as a lack of judges impacts family, youth, and small claims courts as well. NDP Attorney General critic Leonard Krog, MLA for Nanaimo, said there are already examples of criminals walking free because of excessive court delays.
On the civil side of the equation are examples where children are being held by the ministry for months longer than they should be, of parents being unable to access their children, where disputes about child custody and support and small claims matters aren’t resolved for months. And that’s leading to the waste of public funding, as time and efforts of police to investigate and the Crown to prosecute, are resulting in cases tossed out of court. “If you’re a victim of a crime, and you’re told that morning ‘Oops, I’m sorry,’ it is a big deal.”
TONY LING
Tarnow said it seems the current government doesn’t see the justice system as a priority, and doesn’t realize that investing in it now will have long-term benefits for society in the future. According to the Office of the Chief Judge of the B.C. provincial court, there’s nearly a 17 fulltime judge shortage in the province as of Aug. 31, 2012. But the office was unable to comment ahead of The Review’s Thursday afternoon deadline about what’s being done to address the shortage, and the impact the lack of judges is having on other judges left to deal with the backlog.

City plans expansion of green can program $3.25 million proposed to provide residents with green carts and kitchen containers by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Townhouse residents will soon be able to recycle more green cans than just Heineken and Canada Dry. On Wednesday, city staff unveiled a plan to bring food scraps recycling—known as the green can program—to townhouse complexes throughout Richmond by June 2013. “Expansion of food scraps and organics recycling to residents in multi-family residences is a priority in light of pending disposal bans for this material in 2015,” said Suzanne Bycraft, manager of fleet and environmental programs, in her report to council’s public works and transportation committee. City hall is also proposing to make it more convenient for homeowners by giving wheeled carts and kitchen containers to all owners of houses and townhouses who receive weekly curbside recycling pickup from the city. But an expanded recycling program comes at a cost. Townhouse owners would pay an extra $49 each year and single-family homeowners— who already pay $68.50 per year for organics collection—would face an annual utility bill increase of $15.50. And if approved by council, taxpayers would face another $3.25-million bill to pay for the new wheeled carts—cash already squirrelled away in a reserve account at city hall. Food scraps account for 21 per cent of all household waste, according to the city, and the material can easily be recycled, along with yard trimmings, to create compost. Organics
City backs carbon tax Richmond’s civic politicians are sending the province a letter of support to maintain the B.C. carbon tax. On Monday, city council endorsed a resolution to voice its approval of the tax, provided it doesn’t negatively impact lowincome earners or create a strain on local businesses. The province instituted the carbon tax in 2008 and is currently reviewing it in preparation of the 2013 budget. The current tax rate is 7.2 cents per litre of gasoline, 8.3 cents per litre for diesel and $1.50 per gigajoule of natural gas. Council is also suggesting that “a significant portion” of carbon tax revenue be set aside for local governments to spend on transportation and renewable energy projects to reduce emissions.
City of Burnaby photo Curbside food scrap recycling is expected to expand to all Richmond townhouses by June 2013—two years before an expected ban on organic waste in the garbage stream.
can also be used to create energy. Metro Vancouver is expected to ban food waste in the garbage stream by 2015. Besides the looming ban, staff say reducing garbage is important given Metro Vancouver’s expected hike in disposal fees from $107 per tonne to a projected $205 per tonne by 2016. Under the city’s recycling expansion plan, single-family homeowners can choose between four sizes of green waste carts—80 litres to 360 litres—and still use paper bags
for yard trimmings. The city intends to phase out homeowners’ own green cans by the end of 2013 as the new city carts would be dumped into trucks by automated tippers. The new carts also promise greater resistance to rodents and animals. Also planned is an expansion of garbage service by offering homeowners pickup of four large items—mattresses, furniture, appliances—each year. Staff are urging council to extend its garbage
and recycling contract with Sierra Waste Services to Dec. 31, 2017 “to achieve economies of scale for optimal pricing.” Richmond rolled out its green can program in April 2010 for single-family homes. One year later, the city expanded the program to approximately one-third of Richmond’s 11,217 townhouses, that receive city recycling services, as a pilot. Organics recycling is not yet proposed for apartments and commercial properties.
Richmond ready TransLink to charge for Culture Days at all park-and-rides Dozens of activities and events will mark Culture Days in Richmond this year—from Sept. 28 to 30. The third annual coast-to-coast movement is aimed at raising awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. Richmond boasts 60 free activities to mark the weekend, including workshops in digital photography, origami, Chinese painting and chigiri-e (Japanese torn paper art). Richmond Cultural Centre will be the hub of Culture Days activity in Richmond, with demos and activities by visual, performing and literary artists. Richmond Public Library, museum, art gallery, media lab, arts centre studios and rooftop garden are all Culture Days venues. Tours will be offered at Gulf of Georgia Cannery, Britannia Heritage Shipyard, Gateway Theatre, Richmond Cultural Centre, Steveston Village, Richmond Museum’s storage facility and Richmond Art Gallery. The many other cultural events throughout the city include the Richmond Chinese Community Society’s Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration at Lansdowne Centre and the second annual Richmond Lantern Festival at Minoru Park. Brochures are available at Richmond Cultural Centre and more information can be found at culture days.ca.
by Jeff Nagel Black Press Free parking will end at TransLink park-and-ride lots as the authority moves to pull in more cash. Most lots already charged, but the shift to all pay parking will come as a shock to motorists who use the 10 free lots, such as the Sexsmith park-and-ride. Other free park-and-rides include lots in Ladner and Tsawwassen in Delta; Walnut Grove in Langley; South Surrey ; Phibbs exchange, Park Royal mall, Westmount and Gleneagles on the North Shore. It may also mean users of the new 650-space Carvolth park-and-ride in Langley will also have to shell out to park there to take the new Highway 1 Rapid Bus. Provincial government officials said just last week there was no plan to charge motorists there but added it would be TransLink’s decision after Victoria hands over the nearly finished park-and-ride.
A minimum of $2 a day will be charged, according to TransLink’s new policy. “Prices will vary depending on the local markets,” TransLink vicepresident Bob Paddon said Monday. “It will bring us much needed revenues.” TransLink projects it will raise $2.2 million by charging at the free lots and raising the prices at some of the pay lots. Paddon said imposing pay parking should give motorists much better odds of finding a space at crowded lots in the future. The hope is that more drivers who use park and rides will simply leave their cars at home and catch feeder buses nearby to avoid the parking fees. TransLink plans to develop more park and rides in the future, including ones to serve the Evergreen Line in Port Moody and Coquitlam. About 3,500 of the 4,300 parkand-ride spaces TransLink controls are already pay parking.
City seeks new deputy fire chief Richmond Fire-Rescue is searching for a new deputy fire chief to fill the shoes of Jim Wishlove. After a 23-year firefighting career in Richmond, Wishlove recently left the Island City for New Westminster, where he’s been hired as an assistant deputy fire chief. Richmond is offering a salary of up to $135,200 to the candidate selected to replace Wishlove, according to a job posting on the city’s website. Richmond has two other deputy fire chief positions, occupied by Kim Howell and Tim Wilkinson, who serve under fire chief John McGowan.

Ilich family gives arthritis research ‘huge’ boost New offices and $4 million in funding for Richmond organization
Golden age of art enriches community By Bill McNulty
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The largest clinical arthritis research centre in Canada got four million reasons Tuesday to continue improving the lives of people who suffer from the disease. With an oversized ceremonial cheque in hand, Maureen Ilich presented the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada with a $4-million donation from the Milan and Maureen Ilich Foundation. Maureen Ilich, joined by daughter Laurie Cavanaugh and son Rick Ilich, made the donation at 5591 No. 3 Rd. in Richmond, the research centre’s new office space— also donated by the Ilich family through Progressive Construction. It’s the single largest donation the research centre has received in its 12-year history. “It’s absolutely huge to us. It’s going to enable us to have some security in which to grow forward,” said Shauneen Kellner, executive director of the centre. Milan Ilich died June 29 at age 76 after a long battle with acute myeloid leukemia, but his legacy lives on through a charitable foundation he started with his wife. Also Tuesday, the Ilich family unveiled a model of a sign for the research centre’s new building: the Milan Ilich Arthritis Research Centre. The centre began its work in 2000 with four people. Today it has a staff of 60, most based at the Richmond office, where clinical research into arthritis takes place and rheumatologists see patients. Kellner said Milan Ilich made his first contribution to the centre’s research several years ago by donating money to establish the first research chair in arthritis biostatistics in North America at Simon Fraser University. He—and his charity—have supported the organization ever since. “He had an interest in arthritis because he had family members and friends who had

arthritis,” she said. “He was ahead of his time I suspect in the fact that people weren’t realizing the growing costs and the effects of arthritis.” According to the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada, more than 4.6 million Canadians live with one of over 100 types of arthritis. Dr. John Esdaile, scientific director of the re-
search centre, said Milan Ilich intended his legacy to carry arthritis research to the next level. “It is our job to ensure we meet his goal by using research to alter the lives of people with arthritis,” said Esdaile. Milan Ilich’s philanthropy was made possible by his success as a developer through his company Progressive Construc-
tion. He often said that writing a cheque was the easy part—it was the work being done in the community that really mattered. A quote from the man, posted on the Variety charity’s website, spoke to his motivation. “I just want to do my part to help out and give back to a community that has been so good to me over the years.”
Richmond residents are enjoying a golden age of arts and culture in our Bill McNulty community Councillor with an explosion of new events, opportunities and activities on the arts scene. In the past year, we’ve opened the New Media Lab and Rooftop Garden at the Richmond Cultural Centre, expanding our ability to offer innovative and engaging public programming and events. We’ve also established a new resident dance company at the Cultural Centre providing new opportunities for our community’s young performers. The Richmond Maritime Festival again broke attendance records this summer, largely due to a greatly expanded arts program, made possible through a partnership between the Richmond Arts Coalition and the City to obtain grant funding from Canadian Heritage. In early October, the very popular Minoru Chapel Opera series will return with an expanded four-show fall series. The annual Children’s Festival, a sellout success, will mark its 5th anniversary in early 2013 and is expected to continue to grow even larger next year. An annual arts symposium and arts awards and the popular Lulu Series lectures have also become popular fixtures. And Richmond’s inventory of public art also continues to grow. We now have more than 70 pieces of public art on permanent display throughout Richmond, one of the largest and most diverse collections in the region. The increased activity is highlighted by the annual Culture Days celebration which happens from September 28 to 30 this year. Culture Days
is a nation-wide celebration where communities across the country celebrate the arts by hosting free events for the public to enjoy. Richmond led the province in the number of Culture Days events we hosted last year. For 2012, we’ve set the bar even higher with more than 60 free events planned for Richmond that weekend. It’s going to be an incredible celebration of our community’s cultural vibrancy and I encourage you to take part. Check out our website at www.richmond.ca or pick up a brochure at the Richmond Cultural Centre to learn more. None of this happened by accident. The City has made a concentrated effort through its Arts Strategy to increase community vibrancy and foster the local arts scene. An update of this strategy is nearing completion and is expected to come to City Council for consideration this fall. Richmond is blessed with many talented artist both performing and visual as well as community groups such as Community Arts Council of Richmond (CACR) who for 42 years have continuously promoted all aspects of the arts in Richmond. As I have continuously said “the arts are the soul of our community.” The City is committed to working closely with our local artists and arts group to create a local arts scene that reflects our community needs and values. But the third part of this pillar is you. Get out and support the local arts scene or even become part of it yourself. Let us know what you like and what you want. The arts community can be a great economic generator for Richmond creating jobs and brining visitors to our community. But most importantly, the arts provide a way for us to communicate and engage with each other, share our differences, understand new perspectives and most of all to enjoy new experiences.

Fundraiser aids expecting moms in Africa Soon-to-be mom inspired to help less fortunate Steveston yoga studio director Alanna McConnell can’t imagine what it would be like to be pregnant and in need of help in a Third World country. When she was having some issues at the start of her pregnancy—she’s now seven-and-a-half months pregnant—and was able to quickly access the support she needed, she wondered what it would be like if things were different. So it was a perfect fit when, during a yoga workshop she attended, McConnell was introduced to the Shanti Uganda Society, a charitable organization headquartered in Port Moody. “It made me realize how lucky we are here in Canada. Just the fact how in Canada we’re so lucky and blessed to have all these resources,” said McConnell, studio director of Studio 108, 130-3900 Steveston Hwy., at No. 1 Road. She said the society’s administrative costs are only 10 per cent, with

the remainder sent to Africa. McConnell is hoping to make a real difference in the lives of pregnant women in developing countries next week during her studio’s first anniversary celebrations. For the five days leading up to the first-anniversary celebrations,— on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.— Studio 108 will have a silent auction, as well as two by-donation yoga classes (10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 3:30 p.m.), some food and refreshments. In between the yoga classes, the public is invited to check out the studio and view the silent auction items. The Shanti Uganda

The poisoned seed in the multicultural garden Editor: Like letter writer Alan Halliday (Richmond Review, Sept. 14) I am also gratified that many Chinese Canadians (will we ever get to a point that we are all simply Canadians?) are supporting a ban on the importation and consumption of shark’s fins. These people are demonstrating that it is possible to break free from ethnocentric points-of-view and see the world with a much broader perspective. Ethnocentrism, the belief in the inherent superiority of one’s own ethnic group or culture, is really the poisoned seed in the multicultural garden. There is a world of difference between having pride in your culture or ethnicity, and believing your values and customs are superior to everyone else’s. One promotes open-mindedness and mutual respect; the other fosters distance, distrust, and disrespect. One enriches our experiences of different cultures and enables the creation of a more interesting and diverse society; the other fosters enclave thinking and is blatantly antithetical to the objectives of the Canadian cultural experiment. The search for a successful model for a multicultural society inherently requires varying degrees of adjustment and compromise on the part of all of its participants. No one person or group is exempt from such requirements. It is also an extremely fragile process given our innate predisposition towards tribalization and convincing ourselves that ours is the best of the bunch. Resistance to even the smallest adjustments in long held habits, beliefs, and attitudes serves to make the building of a viable and respectful multi-cultural society more complicated and problematic than it should or needs to be. There are simple decisions to be made in this regard: what will define the nature of my contribution to the building of Canadian society? Intransigence, or flexibility? Resistance to change, or adaptability? Full and open-minded dedication to the creation of a new type of cultural synthesis, or resistance to the concept and its ideals? Trapped in the past or liberated to move into the future? Those are the critical points that should be addressed every time a contentious culturally-based issue such as shark-fin consumption rears its head. My family, for example, has deep roots in Canada that go all the way back to the late 1600s, but my distant relatives in Quebec still refuse to budge from their ethnocentric postures to more fully embrace fellow Canadians and the Canadian nation-building experiment. The fact that they remain so intransigent, inflexible, and thereby so distanced from the rest of Canadian society after all these centuries provides a convenient example of how truly counter-productive and self-defeating ethnocentricity can be. Make the small adjustments and concessions at one end, and reap the greater rewards that will come over the long run. Apparently easily understood and done by some, but not by some others.  Ray Arnold Richmond

Editor: Mr. Lim (Letters, Sept. 12) thinks he has a legal right to consume a morally reprehensible, “culturally significantâ€? dish, here in Richmond... because it's not been outlawed yet. Shark fin soup. And he’s right. It is legal to eat that crap. But it says more to his mindset, that profit trumps environmental slaughter. It’s not a cheap bowl of soup that the masses have enjoyed for generations— it’s a very, very expensive bowl of soup for the elite wealthy. A consommĂŠ, with magical healing properties I’ve heard, because boiled shark cartilage should taste like bad dishwater, unless you flavour it heavily. Legally harvested shark fins in Canada should be an exceedingly rare commodity. Sharks are an increasingly rare resource, and it just follows that finning, for status, is an abomination. The rarer they are, the more the price increases. Hullo, Canada Border Services? Start looking closer. Geoffrey Filtness Richmond

Mysterious angel returns lost purse Editor: On Sunday, Sept. 16 my faith in humanity was renewed. While cycling through Steveston, Garry Point and the West Dyke I lost my purse, containing my house keys, car keys, identification and small amount of cash. After retracing my route for over an hour I returned home filled with dread; mentally preparing myself to make the necessary phone calls to my bank, credit card companies, and ICBC, etc., to cancel my accounts and begin the tedious process of replacing all of my identification. When I opened the screen door I found my purse (contents intact) hanging on the outside door handle of my front door; no note or explanation attached. Relief was quickly replaced with gratitude. I hope you, my mysterious angel, are a resident of Richmond and an avid reader of The Review, for I would like to extend my personal thanks for your generosity, honesty and thoughtfulness. I appreciate the effort you took for me and wish you a life filled with blessings and goodness! Catriona Misfeldt Richmond

The annual South Arm United Country Fair was another success.
Thanks for supporting South Arm Country Fair Editor: On Sept. 15, South Arm United Church held its 53rd annual Country Fair. Once again we enjoyed the enthusiastic support of the Richmond community, and for this we, the co-ordinators of the fair, are deeply grateful. We appreciate that you enjoy this fair as much as we love putting it on. We thank those people, many of whom are from outside our church family, who worked tirelessly throughout the summer months, donating the time and expertise without which it would have been impossible to organize an event of this magnitude. We also thank the individuals, businesses and other organizations that donated the goods and services offered and those volunteers who on the day itself acted as vendors or staffed our kitchen, tearoom and other attractions. Finally, we thank the many student volunteers so essential for smooth Fair Day operations. We are tremendously encouraged by their willingness, cheerfulness and competence.

Ask the Experts Q:
do you recommend a child’s Q: When first eye exam?
A:
Dr. John Kim Optometrist
604-271-3937 Ironwood Optometry Clinic 8020-11688 Steveston Hwy. Richmond BC V7A 1N6 ironwoodoptometry.ca
A:
Injuries can be frustrating, but there definitely ways to work around them if not alleviate them completely. Shoulder pain from weight training can be attributed to a number of things including lifting heavy weights too frequently and not allowing the joint to properly recover, poor postural alignment making the shoulder more vulnerable to injury, and poor exercise selection and/or technique. In any case, you should incorporate more exercises for your upper back and postural muscles to pull your shoulder girdle into a more neutral position. Secondly, avoid using heavy weight for overhead movements like shoulder presses and using a narrow grip for exercises like chin-ups and bench press to take stress off the shoulder joint. Lastly, make sure you are properly warmed up prior to your weight training session and stretch accordingly when you are finished. Yours in health, Isaac Payne
Q: A:
Q:
We currently owe $309,960 on our mortgage with exactly 3 years left on the term. We have a 5 year fixed with a rate of 4.39% and a monthly payments of $1779, and it was original amortized over 25 years. - Can we pay our mortgage down faster if we refinanced to get a lower rate?
A:
You will first need to call your current lender to find out exactly what your penalty will be to payout the mortgage early. Every lender calculates their penalties differently, and that will have a big impact on your outcome. - But for arguments sake let’s estimate that your penalty will come out to $10,600. Based on your numbers, I can determine that in 3 years (at the end of your term) you will owe $284,816. If we refinance your mortgage (including penalty) at a new 3 year fixed rate of 2.89%, and keep your monthly payment exactly the same as you’re paying now, it will drop your amortization to 19.75 years, saving you over 3 years. And based on those calculations, your outstanding balance will be $282,580 at the end of the 3 year term. Which means that YES, you will be better off by more than $2,200! And you’ve just reduced your amortization by more than 3 years! Give us a call and we will be glad to help you arrange your new financing! Chad & Tom

I am starting to notice my hair getting thinner! What can I do?
Hair thinning, or alopecia, can be a concern for many adults as we age. There are two types of alopecia: Androgenic alopecia and Reactive Alopecia. Androgenic alopecia affects men and is related to the breakdown of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Reactive alopecia mainly affects women and is the temporarily deregulation of the hair life cycle. This can happen as a side effect of medications, when there is increased stress, nutrient imbalance, hormonal changes, and with physical aging. One of the first steps in treating alopecia is nutrient replenishment. This is because hair follicles require many nutrients from the blood stream to promote hair growth. When the body is deficient in certain B Vitamins and minerals, the hair follicle grows slower. I often recommend Innate Response 100% whole food Skin, Hair, and Nails formula, a multivitamin sourced entirely from fruits and vegetables and is rich in Vitamin Bs, silica, sulphur and zinc. Along with high dosages of omega-3 essential fatty acids, this combination may help jump start hair growth when used alongside other therapies (For omega-3s, try Metagenics EPA-DHA high concentrate liquid, where one teaspoon provides as much omega-3 as 18 salmon oil capsules). In addition to supplementation, external hair treatments help boost hair root growth and provide anti-radical protection. Phyto Paris Laboratories produces 2 topical serums to combat hair thinning. For females, a serum called Phytocyane uses Ginkgo Biloba to increase micro-circulation and grape seed procyanidins to combat free radicals in order to treat reactive alopecia. For men, Phytolium 4 serum contains a topical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor to counter the detrimental effect of DHT on hair loss. With repeated use, hair should feel thicker and fuller. Ask your pharmacist about treating hair loss naturally or find these products here at Pharmasave Steveston Village!

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious treatable condition that occurs due to tissue relaxation blocking the airway while we sleep. It is a common condition and can effect men, women and children. If you experience the following signs/ symptoms, see your family doctor for a sleep apnea assessment: • loud snoring, choking, gasping or stop breathing during sleep. • sleepy or tired during the day. • morning headaches. • trouble with concentration and memory. • weight gain • night time urinary frequency. Sleep apnea has many long term health concerns and safety issues. Some of these include association with heart attacks, strokes, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, depression, anxiety, memory and concentration problems and decreased sexual drive. Hypnotics, sedatives and alcohol intake worsens this condition. If you are concerned about sleep apnea, see your family doctor. Remember this is a treatable condition.

A child’s first eye examination should be at about six months of age. While paediatricians conduct a basic eye screening, your optometrist will perform a comprehensive eye examination to rule out conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), muscle imbalances, high or unequal refractive errors, and eye diseases. Early detection of eye problems such as lazy eye and strabismus is crucial because children are more responsive to treatments when diagnosed early. Eye health assessments are also important to identify diseases or tumours. Unless you feel your child is having eye or vision problems, or your optometrist advises otherwise, your child’s next eye exam should be at about age 3, and then annually once she enters school. Undetected vision problems may put your child at a disadvantage in terms of learning.
Toilets are notorious for leaking. However, a leaking toilet often goes unnoticed until a water bill shows up that is higher than usual. Most people don’t realize it, but a leaking toilet is the most common cause for a water bill that gets out of control. There are a number of signs that a toilet needs some repairs, but many toilets still leak without any obvious signs of trouble. This is what makes a leaking toilet problematic for homeowners. Most homeowners will notice if there is water around the base of the toilet, but here are some signs to look for if you have a larger than normal water bill because you suspect that you may have a leaking toilet: • If you have to jiggle the handle to make a toilet stop running. • If you have any sounds coming from a toilet that is not being used. • If you have to hold down the handle to allow the tank to empty. • If you can see water trickling down the sides of the toilet bowl long after it has been flushed. • If a toilet turns the water on for 15 seconds or so without you touching the handle, you may have what is known as a phantom flusher. Leaking toilets are easy to fix, and the cost for a plumber to assess the situation and repair it is usually much cheaper than letting the problem go on and then pay for an-out-of-control water bill.

Q: A:
Ask the Experts
Once our Strata council has decided to go with a Depreciation Report and have also decided to have Campbell & Pound Commercial Ltd. as our Reserve Fund Planners, what do we need to do to begin the process?
Q:
To start the process your strata corporation can contribute greatly to the ease of providing the depreciation report and economizing by gathering all of your records and documents that are specific to your type of strata corporation. A sample list follows that illustrates the types of records and documents the person preparing the depreciation report may need to review. In the absence of documents, the person preparing the depreciation report will need to make some reasonable assumptions. For smaller strata corporations your document requirements may be limited; however, at the minimum a copy of the registered strata plan, any registered bylaw amendments, and any property conditions will be important for the first stages of the proposals and planning.
A:
Documents & Records • Operating budget • Current balance sheet, including the contingency reserve fund balance and any • investments & assets • General ledger • Copies of invoices relevant to operations and repairs • Current insurance certificate or insurance appraisal • Any reciprocal easements/Service agreements/Air Parcel Agreements • Any leases and licenses (enterphone systems, parking garage use) • Any agreements granting third party use and access of the strata property • Prints, plans and drawings – architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire • protection and other systems.
• Any prior investigation reports: maintenance, repair, investigation etc. • Annual fire inspection report • Maintenance manuals • Maintenance logs • Registered strata plan & any amendments • Registered bylaws & any amendments • Any bylaws where the strata corporation has taken responsibility for the maintenance • and repair of part of a strata lot • Any information & bylaws relating to sections • Any registered allocations of Limited Common Property • Any alteration agreements where an owner has taken responsibility for the cost of the • maintenance or renewal of the alteration • Lawsuits or arbitration decisions that impact property use, maintenance repair or obligation
To simplify the depreciation report process, and to assist with accurate long-term archiving of documents, it is recommended documents, including the large scale drawings, be scanned into electronic format if possible to use when preparing the depreciation report. The more information given to the Reserve Fund Planner, the better. It will cost the Strata council less in professional fees if the Planners are not the ones fishing out old documents and trying to piece meal the information together themselves. The more organized the Stata council the more efficient the Planner can be with their time.

Are backpacks hard on a developing child’s spine?
Yes they can be, if the weight is more than 10% of your child’s body weight and if he or she is not wearing it the correct way. Carrying a heavy load that is unevenly or improperly distributed can result in poor posture; and even distort the spinal column, throwing it out of alignment. This can cause muscle strain, headaches, back neck and arm pain, and even nerve damage. Prevention is the key. Choose the right backpack, go with the light ones with two wide adjustable, padded shoulder straps, along with a hip or waist strap, padded back and plenty of pockets. Pack it properly; take only what is needed and make sure the weight is distributed evenly. Wear it correctly, using both shoulder straps and adjust it to fit without dangling to the side. Backpacks should never be worn over just one shoulder. If your child does complain of back pain, numbness or weakness in his or her arms and legs, get help to prevent future problems. Chiropractic care is effective and allows children to have better nerve function. We are offering a complimentary spinal consultation for any school-aged child until October 5th 2012.

Since early July, Gold has gone up from $1,620 US ($1,585 Cdn) to $1,774 US ($1,715 Cdn). Silver has risen from $28.00 US ($27.50 Cdn) to $34.55 US ($32.50 Cdn) in the same time frame. As you notice, the Canadian dollar’s strength has affected the price differential between the Canadian and US values. We stocked up on both Gold and Silver this summer when they were at their low. We have the best selection that we’ve ever had. For Gold jewelry, it does not matter if it is whole or broken, we buy it all. With Gold prices higher now, I plan on shipping to a smelter in early October, therefore I am offering more per gram than usual, and much more than our competition. For 10K, we are paying $20.40 per gram; 14K, $28.90 per gram and 18K we are paying $36.90 per gram. I am sure none of my competitors can match these prices.

habits, but I am not sure how to go about it. What can I do to get her to eat healthier?
A:
In general, children’s taste buds are the most sensitive they will ever be, in the first years of their lives. That is partially the reason why so many preschoolers are fussy eaters. (But only partially.) Other reasons can be; modeling of eating habits by the adults in their lives and lack of time to prepare food, thus using fast foods more readily. If you can, make meal time a time to connect with your family, share a meal, share the day. Offer new food item regularly and ask the child to give it a try before she eats her favourite food. Try foods that are not overwhelming with texture or taste. Get your child to help in purchasing and preparing the meals. Remember that children will NOT starve themselves. Let your child eat as much as she needs. Offer small portions. Make eating time fun and educational. Tell your children about the ingredients in the food you prepared and their nutritional value. You can use the food guide pyramid to teach your children what and how much their body needs daily. I can assure you that most children will grow out of their preschool eating habits in a few short years. On a personal note,growing up in Israel, my mother cooked our meals from scratch,using fresh ingredients and spices that the whole family would eat, and we did. Our palates got used to spicy food and a rich mediterranean diet. I continue this tradition in my day care. Using fresh ingredients, I prepare the children’s meals daily from scratch. Throughout the years, I have had the pleasure of introducing new food items to very fussy eaters, changing their eating habits completely. IT WORKS in the short and in the long run! Good luck!

well as towing?
The short answer is YES! Hitches have been primarily used for towing, but there are a lot of great accessories available that will work with a variety of hitches. Did you know there are hitches for almost every make and model of vehicle on the market today, including most small sports cars? You may not need to tow a small utility trailer behind your Mini Cooper, but you can, as well as carry a few bikes without a thing needing to touch your paint job. There are even racks to safely carry several pairs of skis and/ or snowboards behind the vehicle, which is great if you have a convertible. Not all hitches are the same though, so make sure you know what you are getting. Check for well-known and reputable brands such as Hidden Hitch, Reese, Draw-Tite and Pro Series. A good quality hitch — installed properly — will easily haul your gear, and last the life of your vehicle.

Always. This month I’m taking on computerised kitchen appliances — in this case Whirlpool and KitchenAid. Just over a year ago I purchased a brand new and far from inexpensive KitchenAid stove for our just remodelled home. This is the glass top slide in type with computer controls for the oven and rotary knobs for the stove top elements. Lo and behold, three months later the knobs had lost much of writing and you could literally wipe off what was left with your fingers. Certainly a safety issue. Warranty? Over the next year Whirlpool, the company behind KitchenAid products in Canada, replaced the knobs three times at no cost. The fourth set I requested was just weeks after the warranty ran out. The conversation I had with them was far from positive. ‘Purely cosmetic’, they said — and I now have to pay their exorbitant parts prices for defective parts. These knobs are expensive so I told them to get stuffed. I’ve since learned I’m far from being the only customer hosed by KitchenAid so am looking into a class action civil suit of some sort. I truly detest companies that do this to people. Moral of this story. Avoid KitchenAid products like the plague — and if you’re in the same boat drop me a line.

Play banned in China makes its Richmond premiere AUGUST 30 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
By the time she was 23, she had already been married three times and had numerous affairs. Mao Zedong was the last man in her life—and she thought he was in the palm of her hand. The story of Jiang Qing is part of a play being presented by Springtime Stage at Gateway Theatre on Sept. 24. I Am Chairman Mao’s Bitch! is written by Shanghai playwright Sha Yexin. Actors staged the show in Calgary on Wednesday and will mount the performance at the Minoru Park theatre on Monday. The play will be performed in Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles. Sha Yexin’s play—banned in China by government—explores the life of Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong’s last wife. Once a movie star, Jiang Qing became a prominent member in the communist party before she was imprisoned.

Ask the Experts if I have animals and want Q: What to buy a strata property? Let’s say you have animals: cats, dogs, birds, caged animals, fish, exotic pets etc. Before you physically look at any strata properties, it makes sense to ask what the bylaws say about restrictions on pet ownership. Most strata properties have some sort of restriction on what/how many/what kind of pet(s) you can have live with you. Don’t rely too much on what the current owner tells you, because more often than not, current owners/occupants are not up to date on the rules. Take a look at what the current bylaws say (in print). Bylaws can change, and over time there are always updates to note. If you buy in a building that has restrictions and you ignore them you can, and probably will, be fined every month until you comply (get rid of the pet or move). Some common restrictions are: no dogs allowed, only one dog or cat, dogs must be 40” or less, two cages birds allowed, two cats and two dogs allowed etc. Again, make sure the information you are given is accurate and current, and in writing. It would be so disappointing to write an offer on the perfect home, and then receive the bylaws and find out that you do not comply with their rules. Your Realtors is there to help you. Let them!

Regular maintenance of gas fireplaces are quite often overlooked so it is great that you are thinking about it.
We recently worked with a customer who had a gas insert that wasn’t turning on with the switch and thought they needed a new fireplace. It turned out that the pilot light had years of carbon build up and after a good service their fireplace is now ready for another season. If you have questions about your fireplace, it is always best to get as much information about your fireplace such as photos and manufacture’s information and stop by. We’d be glad to give you some tips.

Q: Am I living with hearing loss? Part 2 A:
What should I do?
Another thing you can do is to turn off the pilot light, remove and clean the glass using a gas fireplace glass cleaner. While removing the window, take a moment to clean under the unit to allow good air flow around the unit. Finally, if you have a remote control, change the batteries in the hand set and receiver with a quality brand battery. Some manufacturers rely heavily on these batteries so if they are weak, the full operation may not be possible even though it may “sound” like they are working.
Dental erosion is the chemical loss of tooth structure without the involvement of the usual suspects-bacteria, where the teeth slowly dissolve. It appears as thin enamel or total enamel loss on surfaces of teeth, or previous fillings seem to protrude above the disappearing enamel surrounding them. The underlying (decay prone) dentin eventually becomes exposed. Intrinsic and extrinsic are the two types of dental erosion. Extrinsic results from consumption of acidic foods and beverages whereas intrinsic results from gastric reflux regurgitating back up into the mouth. Extrinsic erosion is becoming an epidemic on North America. The worst culprits are carbonated beverages and especially athletic drinks “ades”. Critical pH for enamel where it begins to dissolve is 5.2. Citrus fruits and beverages have a pH of around 1.7 (think battery acid). Many athletic drinks are around pH 2-5. The grade school science project of dropping an extracted tooth in cola and seeing how long it takes to dissolve is a popular example. Other foods with high levels of citric acid include vinegar, wines, herbal teas, sour candies and chewable vitamins. Vegetarians and competitive swimmers (pH of chlorinated water) often exhibit erosion. Beer, on the other hand, has low erosive potential. Intrinsic erosion is primarily caused by bulimia, gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD) and decreased saliva flow (which dilutes and clears acids and buffers pH levels) due to age and certain medications. Bulimics loose enamel from behind the upper front teeth. Many people with GERD are unaware of their problem as they often have no symptoms and the erosion problem may only be detected by their dentist. If you are suspect you may be suffering from dental erosion, see your dentist. They will be able to suggest some remedies to increase your saliva flow and combat the chemical loss of tooth structure as well as monitor your condition.
Enjoy your smile.... Everybody else does!
feel the fall setting in and want to Q: Iensure my gas fireplace is ready.
Since gas fireplaces operate with three important things (fuel, combustion air, exhaust) the first step should be a visual inspection. If there are signs of black carbon at the pilot light or at the exhaust outlet then the fireplace is not burning properly and you should have a gas technician provide a thorough service.

Trouble hearing ‘ALL’ of a conversation is a beginning sign of hearing loss. Our experience will tell us that lots of people around us mumble when they speak and the faster they talk the harder it is to hear everything. The hearing centre in the brain tries to decipher the signal it is given but does not always guess correctly. Another sign is background sound being much louder that normal speech. This is the result of more hearing loss in certain areas of the inner ear and less hearing loss in others. There are many different reasons for this kind of hearing. Some include excess prolonged noise from work or hobbies; genetic predisposition (family history); frequent ear infections; or certain long term medications. Whatever the reason, a hearing test in a sound booth is the only way to pinpoint your current hearing ability and correctly assess what actions need to be taken.

Elantra adds pops open a hatch with the GT by Jim Robinson Special to Black Press
H
yundai never sits still when it comes to replacing models even if they are already successful in their segment and that certainly applies to the 2013 Elantra GT. Every 24 months, Hyundai’s strategy has been to replace seven models. The Elantra GT bows in the middle of the second round of 24/7 lineup changes and joins the current Sedan and just introduced Coupe. The GT is actually not a sports sedan as you might assume but a five-door hatchback, or wagon depending on your point of view, that replaces the current Elantra Touring that was steady seller in the compact family hatch department. But the Touring was actually ahead of Hyundai’s new Fluidic Sculpture design language. The GT remedies that with several cues such as a large, hexagonal grille and double upwardly flowing character lines. The GT is going against some tough competitors such as Toyota Matrix, Mazda3 Sport and Ford
Focus and you can also factor in the VW Golf and Subaru Impreza and the list goes on. In this class, utility is very important with Hyundai claiming more interior volume and maximum cargo capacity than the competition with 531 litres behind the second row split/fold seats and a total cargo volume of 1,444 litres. The GT is positively festooned with storage areas such as front and rear bottle holders, front and rear cupholders, a front console/ bin with auxiliary audio ports, a nifty extra power point in the front passenger’s footwell area for a laptop/etc and, on some models, a cleanable storage tray under the rear cargo floor. Power comes from Hyundai’s “Nu” series 1.8-litre, four-cylinder engine with twin cams and variable valve timing producing 148 hp and 131 lb/ft of torque. It is equipped with a standard six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic both driving the front wheels. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.2/4.9L/100 km city/highway with the manual and 7.3/5.0L/100 km for the automatic. Where the GT differs significantly from the Sedan and Coupe is in the chassis. It is based on the i30 model that Hyundai sells primarily in Europe and is thus dialed more

The interior of the 2013 Elantra GT makes full use of Hyundai’s “Fluidic Sculpture) design language with a S-curve through the dashboard creating a sportscar like feeling.
Never say never From Page 19 The electric power steering is also dialed for Eurostyle feel and tightens progressively in a turn as torque builds. But the capper is the segment first Driver Selectable Steering Mode (DSSM) that provides three operating modes (Comfort, Normal, and Sport). Accessed by a button on the right lower steering wheel spoke, Comfort mode offers the greatest ease of steering, making it ideal for city driving and parking lot manoeuvres. Sport mode is tuned to offer dynamic steering response on winding roads and on-centre stability during higher-speed highway driving. The default Normal mode offers a balance between Sport and Comfort for all driving conditions. The DSSM system adjusts not only power assistance levels, but also on-centre feel and effort build-up throughout the steering range for a natural and progressive feel. Hyundai is the only manufacturer to own its own steel plant and high strength is liberally used resulting in a 37 per cent increase in chassis rigidity over the Touring. This increased stiffness greatly adds to the sporty ride feeling. Four-wheel (vented front) disc brakes join leading edge safety features such as ABS with brake force distribution, vehicle stability management (VSM) and electronic stability control (ECC) with traction control. On the topline SE Technology Package model there is a backup camera that is hidden behind the rear Hyundai emblem. Put the SE in reverse and a little servo motor tilts the emblem up and, viola, you see what is behind. Pricing for the base GL with six-speed manual starts at $19,149 and tops out at $26,349 for the automatic SE that has all the bells and whistles. But even the base car comes with a bunch of goodies such as heated outside mirrors, the DSSM system, heated front seats, outside temperature reading and trip computer, cruise control and air conditioning with a cooled glove box for various beverages. And with three Elantras for 2013 you might think Hyundai is ready for any compact car eventuality but, I don’t think they are done yet. Could there be an Elantra Convertible in the future? If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s never say never when it comes to Hyundai.

Mercedes’ 2013 GL goes to top of the Class by Jim Robinson Special to Black Press Pulling just 2,200 rpm at an indicated 75 mph, the driver information system on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL says I still have 573 miles left in the tank with 122 miles already covered. The Mercedes in question is the GL350 BlueTEC 4Matic, one of three variants now heading to Canadian showrooms. The GL350 is a turbocharged V6 diesel producing 258 hp and a stump-pulling 455 lb/ft of torque. The other two share a 4.6-litre V8 twin turbo V8. The GL450 4Matic has 362 hp and 406 lb/ft of torque while the GL550 4Matic comes in at 429 hp and 516 lb/ft. Canadian fuel consumption figures are still being calculated at this writing but we were told at the press introduction in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the diesel has a European combined consumption rating of 7.2L/100 km. It’s pretty certain that the GL350 will be by far the most popular model. Not because it has the lowest price of the three starting at $73,900 (GL450, $75,900, GL550, $95,900) but because it is a diesel. Mercedes-Benz can take full credit for making diesel hip among the moneyed classes, hence part of the reason the GL is king of the
mid-sized luxury CUV/SUV segment in North America. Yes, diesel still smells (but not as bad) and, yes, you can track it into the cabin on your shoes from the puddles by the pump. On the plus side, more than 1,000 kms on a single tank is not lost on those who are committed to or who are coming on side with diesel. Acceleration times from 0-100 km/h respectively are 8.4 seconds, 6.3 seconds and 5.6 seconds. Coming next year is the 5.5-litre, 557 hp GL 63 AMG that goes from rest to 100 km/h is just 4.9 seconds. All three Canadian GLs will use the tried and tested 7G-Tronic Plus seven-speed transmission with sequential manual shift mode. This it the first time I’ve driven with a diesel with paddle shifters. It still seems like racecar stuff to me and certainly not something I equate with a diesel. I think of diesels as lazy revving, slow accelerating lumps of cast iron and this has been true for decades. But with direct injection, engine mapping and virtually lag-free pressure buildup, an engine like that in the GL350 is almost as responsive as gasoline. Also gone is that old hammer on anvil clattering sound. Santa Fe is, I was surprised to learn, the highest capital city in the
U.S. At 7,200 feet, auto engines are usually starved for air but Mercedes turbo technology makes up for this with surprising responsiveness especially a heavy truck the likes of the GL. On long, winding highways with little or no other traffic for miles, I worked both the paddle shifters along with the new, standard Airmatic fully load-bearing air suspension now with adaptive shock absorbing. Whether it’s just you aboard or with a full load of seven people and luggage/golf bags, the system is able to provide the best possible ride and handling just ambling along or trying to get somewhere in a hurry. Standard is Crosswind Assist that corrects the steering angle if the GL is buffeted sideways. When this starts to happen, the stability control kicks in and brakes the wheels on the side of the GL facing the gusts, which changes the yaw motion and thus counteracts the crosswind. Also standard for 2013 is Collision Prevention Assist that quietly monitors the GL at speeds between 30-250 km/h. If the system senses you are about to hit the car ahead, there is an audible beep and an illuminated warning on the dash. As soon as the driver hits the

brake, adaptive Brake Assist, which is part of the system, boosts brake power and ensures what forward braking space is available is used to maximum effect. Mercedes-Benz claims it is the first manufacturer to delve into highway speed aeroacoustics analyzing not only the high frequency wind noises but low frequencies as well. The goal was to quell these sounds and their
effect on normal speech to the level of quietness in the S-Class sedan, which Mercedes says they have done. While all three of the new GLs represent the highest Mercedes-Benz standards, I have to say the GL350 really stands out, not for all the technology and engineering but for the sum of all those parts which adds up to possibly the best new SUV on the road today.

Consistency remains All-Blacks’ hallmark
CONGRATULATIONS
WEI FOUNG YUAN Richmond Wellness Club
20 YEARS
Contributing to the Wellness of Richmond Seniors
Blend of youth, experience key to senior soccer side’s success by Don Fennell Sports Editor Though it’s only a week into the 2012-13 Richmond Senior Soccer Association campaign, the leader board in the Premier Division seems familiar. It’s not a coincidence. The Athletics, All-Blacks and Islanders, the top three teams a year ago, all won their opening matches last weekend and seem poised to again challenge for supremacy this season. But while all three share similar traits—talent, determination and depth— the All-Blacks can boast the longest stretch of success. Almost from their inception in the mid-1990s, the All-Blacks have been winners. They earned their first Provincial Cup in only their second season and have consistently challenged for league and/or provincial honours ever since. A late-season slide (which a lack of depth prevented them from overcoming) saw the All-Blacks finish seven points back of the Athletics for the division title in 2011-12, but they ultimately enjoyed the most post-season success of any Richmond team by reaching the Provincial Cup semifinals. A balance of aging veterans and eager youngsters continues to be the hallmark of the All-Blacks. We have guys from 19 to 40 because we want to make sure the team ex-
tends beyond our tenure,” says their chief architect Kyle Shury, who at 40 is both one of the team’s and league’s elder statesmen. But with age comes wisdom, which Shury puts to good use not only as a reliable midfielder but also team manager. His hope is that by bringing aboard young players before the core players leave, hopefully to play in the Masters Division, the All-Blacks won’t miss a step. “I think we’ve done a good job of continuing to add to our roster and build for the future,” he says. “And because we’ve been successful we’ve quite often been able to attract talent within the league and from abroad. I don’t coach these guys, my job is to manage personalities.” Winning their opening game 4-0 over Kelevra last Friday, the All-Blacks are set to play the Islanders FC tonight at 9 p.m. at King George Park. The first 20 minutes of last weekend’s match were relatively close with neither team enjoying a real quality scoring chance. But the All-Blacks were fortuante to create a goal on a counter play in which Ming Choy pushed the ball past the defenders and chipped it over the Kelevra goalkeeper. Playing more of a possession game after that, the All-Blacks were rewarded with their second goal at 35 minutes when Matt Campbell scored

from eight yards out. Kelevra created a couple good chances of their own before the half, forcing All-Blacks’ keper Rick Sebulsky to make a pair of quality saves. Kelevra also dominated the first 15 minutes of the second half but failed to score. Midway through the final frame, following four passes from the back line, Ethan Lowenstein got the ball at the top of the 18 and coolly netted his first goal of the season to put the All-Blacks up 3-0. Ten minutes later Campbell finished the scoring with his second goal of the match. Sebulsky secured his clean sheet with a diving save with only a minute to go, and an ensuing rebound off the post. In other games, Islanders were 2-1 winners over Jugadores and Athletics blanked AC Richmond
2-0. League president Steve Valenzuela continued to demonstrate an earlyseason knack for scoring goals, adding two more to the pair he netted in the opener a week earlier, as Club Ireland Celtic shut out Mark’s Clippers 3-0 in Division One. In other action it was Hounds 5 Subway 0, Istanbul 4 Firefighters FC 1, Libertand 0 Heatherbrae, and IFC Insurgency 3 McNair Shooters 2. In Division 2 play, Jugadores CF II and Graduates battled to a 2-2 draw, with all four goals in the last 25 minutes. Edgar Jimenez of the Jugadores converted a penalty shot with less than five minutes to go to end the scoring. In other games it was Rangers 4 Sockeyes 1, Richalds 3 Club Ireland Rovers 0, Young FC 1 McKesson FC 0, and Monday Knights 2 IFC United 1.

Ground game key for Trojans Hugh Boyd junior varsity football team’s offence will again revolve around backfield by Don Fennell Sports Editor

The more things change, it seems, the more they stay the same. That adage certainly applies to the football program at Hugh Boyd Secondary. From the wishbone offence of the 1990s, employed by then-coach Neil Kamide, to today’s ground game under coaches Bill and Bruce Haddow, the back field has played an important part in the Trojans’ success. It’s no different this season, as the junior varsity team mirrors the senior. Both team offences revolve around the quarterback, fullback and tailblack. “It’s kind of funny, but a good thing,” says Bruce Haddow, head coach of the junior team. “We always seem to have good backs here and it’s become something Hugh Boyd football is known for.” This year’s junior backfield features Jacob Tubajon at fullback, Anthony Giorno at tailback and Gabe Saklowsky at quarterback. The trio combined for five touchdowns Wednesday as Hugh Boyd evened its
B.C. high school AA exhibition record at 1-1 with a 38-0 win over visiting Windsor Dukes of North Vancouver. At five-foot-nine and 205 pounds, Tubajon is a prototypical fullback who is quick on his feet. Giorno, whose brother Robert is a former Trojan and now plays for the Kelowna Sun in the B.C. Junior Football League, sees the field well, says Bruce Haddow. Austin Do also scored a touchdown for Hugh Boyd, which is set to play at the Argyle Pipers in another exhibition tilt next Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at the Lucas Center on the North Shore. The Trojans then get into their regularseason schedule Oct. 4 when they’ll host Earl Marriot at 3:15 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park. Hugh Boyd scored early and often against a younger and lessexperienced Windsor team, but Haddow said the game still provided the Trojans with some important lessons. “We were coming off a 20-8 loss to Robert Bateman (of Abbotsford) and while that wasn’t a bad result for us, given that we had no spring training last year due to teacher job action, and

wanted to get as many of our kids on the field as possible,” he said. “We were able to do that.” And though Haddow figures the Trojans are at least five or six practices behind other teams at this point, having only began assembling the squad at the end of Auugst, at least one player has already emerged as a surprise starter. A Grade 10 student, Max Grenzberg is a welcome presence on the offensive and defensive lines. But it’s not just the fact he’s six-foot-one and 210 pounds, but his smarts that clearly make him a potential pro one day. “He played in Grade 8 but after sitting out last year we didn’t know if was going to play again,” said Haddow. “He thought he’d give the game another chance and I think he’s going to be a really good player. He’s athletic, anticipates the play well, and is truly a student of the game. He’s always engaged when coaches are talking, whether’s he’s involved in the play or not.” Returning Grade 10 centre Adam Schuck is also expected to be another key piece of the puzzle. Associate coach Brock Aura said while he’s not the biggest guy, Schuck is “a hard worker, and bright.” “With about 25 guys, our numbers aren’t huge and the depth isn’t there, but we have some really good athletes and our goal is to at least win our division,” says Aura.

of Clayton Heights herself, she has no shortage of things to say about the neighbourhood. “It offers everything,” she says, adding “I care about this community. ... I’m here to help. People can come to me directly.” Clayton Heights is a rapidly growing neighbourhood, and has amenities to match. Shopping, restaurants, recreation and schools are all within walking distance, and there is easy access to everywhere else in the Lower Mainland due to being near Fraser Highway and Highway 10. “It’s a very family-friendly
development,” says Castro. “You’re away from the hustle and bustle ... (and) Clayton offers so many things for families.” For September, Woodbridge is offering an incentive package for new buyers. It includes two years of no maintenance fees or a cash-back of $4,000 to assist first-time buyers.

‘Clayton offers so many things for families’
A taste of the European life at Woodbridge’s La Rue by Kerry Vital
Woodbridge Homes is bringing Parisian style to Surrey with La Rue, the street you want to live on. La Rue, which means “The Street” in French, is a collection of two- to four-bedroom townhomes in Surrey’s family-friendly Clayton Heights neighbourhood. “This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “This is going to be a legacy for years to come.” The homes at La Rue include nine-foot ceilings and chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, and your choice of two designer colour schemes. The kitchens are perfect for the home chef, with stainless-steel appliances, tons of counter space and a ceramic tile backsplash with mosaic stone accents. The cabinetry is chic and elegant, and is capped off with silver hardware as the cherry on the gorgeous kitchen sundae. The built-in pantries and the real wood cabinetry is proving especially popular, Castro notes. The floorplans are spacious and inviting, with plenty of space for entertaining or just lounging around. Ranging from over 1,200 to more than
“
This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. 1,600 square feet, there truly is a home for everyone at La Rue. The master ensuite is relaxing and quiet, with an oversized shower stall with a semi-frameless glass door or a separate tub and shower. The Victorian-profile vanities with his-andhers porcelain sinks in most plans are a convenient detail that could prevent squabbles, while the huge mirror with its polished edge makes the entire room look larger. Stone countertops are featured here too, complemented by the ceramic tile surrounds of the tub and shower. But the luxury isn’t confined to the master bathroom. The secondary bathrooms include Victorian-profile vanities of their own, as well as a soaker tub. “My favourite part is the beautiful foyer entrance,” Castro says. A resident

Chaos win again The Richmond Chaos may be the walking wounded when they return to the soccer pitch this weekend. Though they sit impressively atop the Metro Women’s Soccer League’s Division 3 table having outscored their opponents 15-1 in their first two outings, their 6-0 shutout of Sur-Del Packers last weekend took a toll. From a squad of 20 players, 18 suited up for the match but several were battling the flu and played limited minutes. Two also suffered knee tweaks that may be more serious than initially anticipated, said coach Al Groff. Chaos finished the match with only 14 players. “Steady pressure and strong defence led to the win, and the ladies adapted well to (the sickness and injuries) to play other positions when needed,” said Groff, Chaos are scheduled to meet co-division leader Delta United Sunday at 5 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park.
