Constable receives threat after deciding to run for office

Documentary based on author’s book to launch dialogue at Kwantlen by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Canadian literary giant Margaret Atwood is coming to Richmond next month. Kwantlen Polytechnic University announced yesterday the prize-winning author will take part in a town hall discussion following the screening of the 2012 documentary Payback. Jennifer Baichwal’s film is based on Atwood’s 2008 bestselling non-fiction book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, which examines how debt influences relationships, societies, governing structures and the fate of the planet. Atwood, born in Ottawa, is winner of many international literary awards. She has authored more than 50 volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction and non-fiction. She’s best known for her novels, which include The Edible Woman (1970), The Handmaid’s Tale (1983), The Robber Bride (1994), Alias Grace (1996) and The Blind Assassin (2000), which won the prestigious Booker Prize. Sheryl MacKay, host of the CBC radio program North by Northwest, will emcee the event, which also includes a keynote speech from Dr. William Rees. Rees is a University of B.C. professor, human ecologist and ecological economist. Organizing the event is Kwantlen’s Miss Representation Action Group, a group of faculty, staff, students and community members dedicated to sparking dialogue to create change. All are welcome to register for the event, which takes place 4 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 16 at the Melville Centre for Dialogue at the Richmond campus. Tickets, $25 to $125, are available at kwantlen.ca/missrep.

Long-time local resident and Richmond Mountie Gary Law’s political aspirations took a troubling turn recently when he says he became the target of threats that were serious enough for him to turn to his fellow RCMP officers for help. Law told The Richmond Review Tuesday that he decided last month that he’ll be seeking a nomination to run for a political party in Richmond Centre during the upcoming provincial election. Not long after announcing his desire to seek public office, Law said he was contacted by somebody he knows in the community who tried to dissuade him from pursuing a career in politics.

‘Ball in Walmart’s court,’ says councillor Concerns over road access to proposed shopping mall freeze rezoning application by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City hall’s planning and development department is beginning the new year with a fat file on its desk that won’t go away. Plans for a Walmart-anchored shopping mall in West Cambie are back in planners’ hands, after city council’s planning committee late last month ordered staff to do more work on the file. Proponents first pitched their plans 10 years ago, spawning dramatic change in a neighbourhood largely untouched by redevelopment. Councillors recently considered a new plan for the open-air mall, which would boast up to 50 stores and a 161,188-square-foot Walmart. But at issue is access to the site— located at the northeast corner of

A lack of road access to the site of a proposed Walmart in the West Cambie area has prompted another review.

Alderbridge Way and Garden City Road. Planners say an east-west road is needed to service the mall—one connecting Alexandra Road in the east to Leslie Road in the west. But SmartCentres, the mall’s proponent, hasn’t yet acquired the five properties needed to build it.

Innocent bystander shot at tattoo shop by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The woman shot Friday night inside the Floating World Tattoo shop on Capstan Way was a customer. Richmond Mounties are continuing to investigate but believe the woman was an innocent bystander. The owner of the shop, who asked that his name not be printed, initially told The Richmond Review Monday morning that the victim was neither a staff person or a customer, and that the shooting occurred outside the shop at 1458-8388 Capstan Way. He expressed concerns that news of the shooting would negatively impact his business, and said he was instructed by police investigators not to speak with the media. He noted that another shooting happened in the parking lot outside Manzo, a Japanese restaurant just a half block away. But sources have told The Richmond Review that the woman was in fact a customer and that she was shot while she was inside the shop. Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Cam Kowalski said multiple shots were fired, and one of those struck the woman, who was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and was in stable condition. The tattoo parlour owner—who could not be reached for a followup comment—questioned whether the incident might have been an attempted robbery. But he noted that most of his customers don’t pay in cash, opting to use credit cards instead, as tattoos costs hundreds of dollars. According to an online search, Sam Nguyen is listed as Floating World Tattoo’s proprietor, and the company’s

website lists “Sam’s Gallery” as the first of three artists featuring images of completed tattoo work. A video surveillance camera is mounted outside the tattoo shop’s entranceway, but it was not clear if the camera was functioning, whether it was operating at the time of the shooting, or whether police had requested any footage from it. Investigators dusted for prints on the door handles to the shop, which has been in operation in Richmond for about four years. “It was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Kowalski said of the shooting on Capstan Way, at the intersection with Sexsmith Rd. Asked if anybody in the surrounding businesses was ever in danger from the shooting, Kowalski said in cases like this, criminals don’t take into account that others could be hurt or killed. Kowalski said nobody outside the tattoo shop—in a strip mall that had many businesses still open at the time, including Tapioka Express, Richmond Sushi and Furama Bakery—was at risk of being struck. The suspect or suspects fled the scene prior to police’s arrival. Investigators are still trying to determine if this was a botched robbery, or if something else was behind the shooting. Witnesses to the incident have been interviewed, and police are following up leads, Kowalski said. But thus far, no suspect descriptions have been released to the public. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477, for those who wish to remain anonymous.

One of those property owners, however, has since told councillors that he has yet to see a “proper legal offer” from SmartCentres to buy his land. Councillors also heard opposition to a temporary solution floated by staff—to collect cash from area developers to fund the road’s future

construction. Another proposed access road for the mall is also proving to be a sticking point for civic politicians. In that case, a road will cost the city 0.8 hectares of parkland in exchange for a rooftop deck in the mall’s parking lot that’s less than half the size. Coun. Bill McNulty, chair of coun-

cil’s planning committee, said the “ball is totally in Walmart’s court.” “Access in and access out are extremely important, and they are the responsibility of the developer. They’re not the responsibility of the city or anybody else.” No timeline has been set for the latest review.

Decision looms for jet fuel pipeline proposal City makes desperate final attempt to get province’s attention by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City council is making a last-ditch effort to ground a controversial jet fuel pipeline proposal. Two B.C. government ministers now have 20 days to decide the fate of the plan that has raised the ire of civic politicians. Liberal cabinet ministers Terry Lake and Rich Coleman are expected to soon rule on an application from Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation, which is proposing to barge jet fuel to Riverport and pump it through an underground pipeline to the airport. On Monday Richmond council renewed its opposition to the plan, demanding a new meeting with the ministers. Letters are also being sent to senior government officials, along with Opposition critics. “We don’t want any traffic on the Fraser River. We already have many examples of oil spills up and down the coast,” said Coun. Bill McNulty, who instead favours the doubling of the existing North Richmond pipeline. “The answer is no to traffic on the river, period, and we don’t want an oil fuel depot in East Richmond, period…” The B.C. Environment Assessment Office has been handling the proposal’s review since 2009. City council doesn’t have jurisdiction on the matter, but it has made recommendations—in the event the

plan is approved. Yet according to Lesley Douglas, the city’s manager of environmental sustainability, some recommendations weren’t given to the ministers. Those include having the proponent build and maintain a staffed fire hall close to a proposed tank farm, and supply and maintain a fire boat. The city is also suggesting local government and fire officials be given more power to monitor pipeline construction. “The exclusion of these comments…to the ministers is substantive in terms of their future ramifications for the city,” wrote Douglas. The ministers have until Jan. 28 to make a decision, but Douglas noted Lake, the Minister of Environment, or Coleman, the Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas, can change the date through a legal order. City council previously met with Lake, along with Richmond’s MLAs, last year. Coun. Harold Steves said a new meeting would allow council to reiterate its opposition to the project,

which he said poses “extreme danger to the Fraser River estuary.” “We keep talking about a pipeline, but we’re talking about supertankers in the river, and that part’s ignored. Also, if they are going to go ahead, then we want safety for the citizens of Richmond, and that seems to be ignored as well. It’s unconscionable.” A citizens’ group known as VAPOR says it has nearly 6,000 names on a petition opposing the plan. Carol Day, the group’s chairperson, said in a recent letter that better options include upgrading the existing pipeline or building a new one to Washington State’s Cherry Point Refinery. Said Day: “It is inconceivable that the provincial and federal governments would even consider approving a plan that allows for a 80 million litre jet fuel tank farm on the shores of the Fraser River and massive Panamax ships loaded with jet fuel to cross over the shallow Massey Tunnel.”

Richmond Chinese restaurants feast on awards Local eateries dominate in diners’ choice categories in fifth annual Chinese Restaurant Awards by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Hungry diners in search of a quick barbecue meal found solace 11 years ago under one of Richmond’s biggest grocery stores. They’re still coming back today. HK B.B.Q. Master, tucked away under Superstore on No. 3 Road, has again been recognized by the 2013 Chinese Restaurant Awards with a Best BBQ Shop prize. The restaurant has won the title in all five years the awards have existed, and is one of many Richmond eateries honoured this year. Manager Eric Leung, 50, has been perfecting the art of Hong Kongstyle barbecue pork, duck and ribs since he was a teenager. “I try to do my best,” he shrugged, saying fresh meat, natural ingredients, service and offering a “good deal” keep customers coming back. The award is one of 18 Diners’ Choice Awards that Metro Vancouver’s Chinese Restaurant Awards announced Monday. Eateries with Richmond locations captured 12 of 18 awards.

Potential candidate received threats From Page 1 It was shortly after that conversation, Law said, that he began to receive threatening text messages on his cell phone, as well as threatening phone calls. “Recently, I have been asked by someone not to run for election,” Law said. “And then after, I received threatening text messages and even phone calls.” Law said because there’s a police investigation underway, he won’t reveal the nature or content of the threats, whether they are directed at just him or also against his family, or the precise timing. “I take this very seriously,” he said. “I am sure I’m in good hands.” Asked whether he believes the threats are linked to the person who deterred him from running for a political seat, Law said he doesn’t know.

“I don’t know if it’s just coincidence, or related. I think this is the job of the RCMP to find out.” He said he reported the incident to local police on Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012 and then revealed what happened during a meeting with four Asian journalists at a local home last week. The Richmond Review learned of the threats on Friday, when a reader questioned why the newspaper hadn’t covered the story that was all over the Asian media. When asked why he didn’t let the mainstream media know about the threats, Law was apologetic, and said “humans do make mistakes.” His intent was not to exclude the mainstream media, or speak exclusively to Asian media, he said. “In the future, if I do (make) some announcement...I will be inviting everybody else.”

He added: “Everybody living in Richmond is important to me. Their ethnic background or something else is not important to me.” Aside from the threats, Law said he’s been the subject of a smear campaign, and has sought the advice of a lawyer “if things get out of hand.” Law said he’s been approached by three political parties to run under their banner, but has decided not to reveal which party he will be seeking the nomination for. He expects to make that announcement in the next couple of weeks. Richmond Board of Education trustee Grace Tsang has announced she is seeking the riding’s Liberal nomination. Rob Howard, the current Liberal MLA for Richmond Centre, is not seeking re-election.

Richmond pair charged in alleged Vancouver robbery Two young Richmond residents have been charged in connection with the stabbing of a Vancouver man on Southwest Marine Drive in Vancouver on Friday, Jan. 4.

he century-old plight of Canada’s aboriginal people is back in the public eye, thanks to protests dubbed Idle No More.

As with Occupy protests last year, the demands are vague. One of the claims, repeated in media coverage of protests, is that the federal government is moving to end the historic Indian Act restriction against selling reserve land. A look at the federal legislation, Bill C-45, shows this is not the case. Amendments ease restrictive provisions for leasing reserve land, which remains property of the Crown held in perpetuity for the aboriginal community. This change was initiated by B.C. aboriginal leaders so they can follow the trail blazed by one of the most entrepreneurial chiefs in Canadian history. His name is Ron Derrickson, and he served six terms as chief of the Westbank First Nation near Kelowna. One of my first big reporting assignments was covering a Royal Com-

mission into his administration’s business affairs in the mid-1980s. There had been an astonishing 17 federal investigations before that, stemming from local claims that Derrickson was just too successful. He drove a big black Mercedes, wore expensive suits, and established a bunch of enterprises, including Canada’s first water slide. The commission was chaired by John Hall, then known as the Crown prosecutor who put serial killer Clifford Olson away, and now an appeal court judge. Derrickson’s suit jacket had a conspicuous bulge as he took the stand each day. He was packing a semiautomatic pistol, having demanded and received a carry permit after a brutal

attempt on his life. The hit man, an ex-cop, was hired by people who didn’t like the bottom-line way Derrickson ran Westbank’s lease-hold mobile home parks. He showed up at Derrickson’s home one day and tried to beat him to death with a metal bar. Badly injured, Derrickson made it to his gun cabinet and shot his assailant, who survived to go to prison. Derrickson testified that his approach to the Indian Affairs bureaucracy was simple. He did business, and if they didn’t like it, they could tell him. Reserve land can’t be sold, so he leased it, offering people a low-cost way to enjoy the sunny Okanagan. His business plan was also simple. Drive to California and see what they’re doing.

Drive back and do it in B.C. A 2007 profile of Derrickson by Greg Fjetland in Canadian Business magazine describes how he came by his approach to Ottawa. He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket, until the local Indian Agent drew an Anglo name out of a hat. He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna. Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington State. He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld, and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever. The Hall commission and all previous government

probes concluded that he did nothing wrong. Derrickson sued his local accusers and won, and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways. Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better. This effort is under dishonest attack from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure. Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy, and a petulant soup-only strike is celebrated as an act of bravery. Choose your own hero. I’ve chosen mine.

Life Lessons

013 has arrived, we’ve made it through the

Of course we all have our markers to measure the passage of time. For me, it is always the people in my life. I mark the years based on the birthdates of my children. I gauge my aging by how old they’ve become. Is my youngest really in kindergarten already? Is my eldest truly in high school? When I’m asked how old I am, I have to think of my children’s ages and then add the

requisite numbers of years. How is it that I’m in my forties already? When did people start calling me Ma’am? When did that first silver hair appear on my head? These questions are really all precursors to the biggest, most pressing answer: how much more time do I have? I comfortably figure that I’m more than halfway through my life now. What am I going to do with the remaining years? Too much of my time seems to be spent on small stuff: cleaning the house, sorting through papers, vacuuming the car, even sleeping. There are

so many things out there for me to do; why is it that cleaning the kitchen always seems to be the top priority? Yes, cleanliness and organization is important but if I skip one day’s tidy up and go for a walk on the dyke with a friend instead, which enriches my life more? My new year’s resolution, is not to make myself more fit or quit one of my many bad habits, it is to make my life more full. Each week I hope to do something that really enriches my life, something that might fit on my Richmond “bucket list.” There are so many little things that I’ve wanted to do in my own beloved

city: bike around Richmond on the dykes, go for a bowl of congee on No. 3 Road for breakfast, go kayaking around Shady Island. Little pleasures. Time is limited; if I don’t do these things now, I may never get the chance. It won’t slow time down but maybe, somehow, it will make me feel that each day has really lived up to its potential. Happy New Year. Andrea Phillpotts is a Richmond writer and teacher. Opinions expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of any school district, organization, or school.

Firefighters help out a driver in need Editor: A belated letter to express my thanks and appreciation to the “C” shift at Fire Hall No. 1 in Richmond on Dec. 23. On Dec. 23 at 11a.m. I was on Granville driving west on my way to visit my wife at Richmond Hospital when my car broke down at the light on Gilbert. Being handicapped, I had trouble getting out and the opening the hood. A gentleman asked me if I needed help, while talking I noticed a group of firemen coming to help they then pushed my car to the fire hall parking lot. I asked if I could use their phone to get BCAA for a battery. I was told it would be a one to two hour wait. The firemen asked what I wanted to do. I told them I was worried about my wife and could I leave my car there and I would get my walker and walk to the hospital, and come back in one hour. A fireman said hold it, I will be right back. Back he came and told me they would get my walker and put it in the chief’s car and take me to see my wife. They would take care of BCAA and keep me informed. It was not a battery and it needed a tow to a repair shop—they took care of this and offered a ride home. I know it’s late but it’s never late to offer thanks and gratitude for such kindness.

City hall deserves a break Editor: I could not disagree more with Kenny Lau’s complaint (letter to the editor, Jan. 4) that city hall’s closure during the week of Dec. 24 to Jan. 1 was “not right.” “A whole week of no service,” he decried. He went on to point out that he, as a civil servant in Hong Kong, had to work during public holidays because “we understand the public has a right to obtain our services too.” What Mr. Lau needs is an understanding of and a sensitivity to what most Canadians value —family life and leisure time. In Hong Kong, it is not uncommon for people to work six days a week, 12 hours a day. Consequently, there is very little time for family or leisure. This is not what Canadians want. Mr. Lau should embrace the Canadian

way of life rather than wanting Canadians to emulate the Hong Kong way. Don’t look at the people at city hall as civil servants, but as family men and women who deserve time with their families during what is traditionally the time of year to be together with loved ones. And really, what is

so important to do at city hall that could not wait for a week? I’m quite certain that most Richmond residents do not begrudge city hall employees getting Christmas week off. Mr. Lau should stop playing Scrooge and accept it too. Douglas Ng Richmond

RICHMOND’S TEMPORARY STYROFOAM COLLECTION Richmond makes it easy for residents to dispose of Styrofoam from Christmas packaging. Simply drop off clean, moulded packing Styrofoam by January 20 to: CITY RECYCLING DEPOT 5555 Lynas Lane December 27, 2012 to January 20, 2013 Wednesday to Sunday from 9:00 a.m. – 6:15 p.m. The Styrofoam is re-used for insulation and landscaping materials. Please ensure it is clean and in good condition, with no tape, paper, paint or other foreign objects attached. Styrofoam chips are not accepted, and please do not put Styrofoam in your Blue Box or Blue Cart.

LET’S UNCLOG RICHMOND’S PIPES Food scraps, oils and grease should never be disposed down sinks, drains, garburators or diswashers as the material hardens and builds up in the sewer pipes, causing blockages, which can lead to sewage back-ups and overflows. Recycle food scraps and grease in your Green Can /Cart, and take used cooking oils and liquid fats in a sealed container to the Recycling Depot (5555 Lynas Lane, open Wednesday to Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.) for free disposal.

Let’s trim our waste!

and keeping the existing tunnel. MLA Blair Lekstom has been quoted stating, “We have no immediate plans to look at replacing it,” and, “The longevity of it is not in question.” So the public should be asking why then does the distributed information not consider more creative options? The new 40 kilometre four-lane highway from Deltaport to Highway 1 could have a short connection from the new Tilbury connection to the Nelson Road overpass in Richmond and then to Boundary Road in Vancouver. This would allow commuters to take a more direct route to their homes in Surrey and beyond. The Massey Tunnel could remain unchanged and service primarily commuters in South Delta which would reduce congestion. After studying the map for the new perimeter road it seemed so obvious to me that replacing the Massey Tunnel was illogical given that it is too far west for most of the traffic that currently uses the tunnel. We need to be fiscally responsible when considering our transportation needs and I feel the current public input process is not offering cost effective options. The narrow study of the replacement of the Massey Tunnel should be abandoned and instead the public should be asked to comment on all options that offer relief of congestion at the Massey Tunnel. I propose the potential connection to Boundary Road be studied and that the public be informed of all options, not just the replacement of a tunnel that has decades of life left. Carol Day Richmond

Some of you may be the most disciplined high-achiever, but most people could benefit from some tips to keep them on track and running smoothly right through the new year. Here's an how-to guide to help you stick to your resolutions: 1. Write down those resolutions (obviously), but also put them somewhere you can easily access and review them every week if not daily. Remember: “out of sight, out of mind” is really not what you want. Pin these up and be able to see them as you work. You will subliminally make them a priority and find that

you stick to your New Year’s resolutions you’re making your way towards success without even knowing you’re trying! Sometimes all you need is one word to trigger the memory of your goal, so don’t post entire paragraphs, keep it short and succinct! 2. Be specific but also make your goals measurable, so you can actually gauge your progress quantitatively, not just qualitatively. Although it sounds much more easily achievable, it’s not enough for you to look for general improvement. Be specific: How much weight do you want to lose? When do you want to lose this by? How are you going to achieve that? Which tools are you going to use? 3. Spread out your resolutions across 12 months and set a different goal for each month. Most importantly specify why this goal is important to you. For instance, in month No. 1 you may want to increase your flexibility while in month No. 3 you’ll want to start seeing tangible results to the tune of some 5% abdominal fat reduction and 10% increase in hamstring strength. Have fun with it. Having a different ‘why’ each month creates a bit of a theme, so why not post a picture that evokes that very goal? That way, it will stay with you all month long. 4. Schedule realistically but also set fall-back times. You will inevitably have to make adjustments to your schedule. Some are temporary, others permanent, but you should always have alternatives so you don’t ever feel like you’re falling behind! 5. Have a back-up fitness program for low energy or timerestricted days. Watch your form and execution. If you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, switch to your “Maintenance Program” for that workout and still get good value from the time and effort spent. Your time is precious. Make sure you use it to get ahead every day!

Remember that success is all about having that winning mindset and it can be contagious.

6. Get the right equipment. Need gloves, straps, a belt, shoes or a new app? Get them. No excuses. Don’t wait to get the basic equipment you really need. Chances are you won’t need a all-in-one gym or suspension cabling to get a good workout, so spend the money wisely on the equipment you’ll depend on, and use it to give it your best shot, every time! 7. Build a safety net by anticipating demotivators.

Think about things that will bring you down or cause you to skip workouts, then find safeguards to anticipate and prevent them. Encourage a buddy to join in, prepare nutritious meals and snacks ahead of time, make sure there are consequences to skipping, and write it all down somewhere where you won’t miss it. These simple tips may seem trivial, but they’re so infrequently followed and so poorly understood that they might as well be se-

crets. Remember that success is all about having that winning mindset and it can be contagious. Demonstrate your dedication to your goals and others will be inspired to do the same. So keep your resolutions to yourself but go public with your successes. Tweet them, update your Facebook and let others enjoy your accomplishments. You’ll find them to be a great way to stay motivated, especially as you see others around you adopt your ‘winning mindset’. Happy New Year!

The Richmond Midget C3 team won the Vancouver Canuck Place Charity Hockey Tournament over the Christmas break, sporting a perfect 5-0 record. In the round robin, Richmond defeated Hope, Burnaby, and Vancouver to qualify for the championship playoffs. As luck would have it, Richmond met up again with Hope in the semifinals. It was an end-to-end game, between two evenly matched teams. With just over a minute remaining, and Richmond up 3-2, Hope pulled their goaltender, but Richmond was able to notch the empty-netter to clinch the victory. The final pitted the undefeated Richmond and an undefeated Surrey team against each other, with Richmond winning 1-0. This was a hard fought game from the start, with strong physical play combined with a fast paced game, making this a goaltenders’ duel. Richmond notched the first goal of the game on the power play and despite excellent chances by both teams, the final score remained 1-0. Mark Cayer was outstanding in earning the shutout victory for Richmond, while Kevin Coates was the game MVP. The team is Mark Cayer, Kevin Coates, Manmeet Dogra, Ben Kiang, Sam Kiang, Nathan Lau, Matt Mah, Nathan Mak, Jordan Moss, Braxton Nomura, Arman Sandhu, Nick Seto, Jocelyn Tang, Justin Uyeno, Darren Whiteside, Alisha Wong and Tyler Yip. They are coached by Grant Coates, Steve Yip and Jim Seto and managed by Mel Mah.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Robert Hayden Long (1929-2013) Robert passed away peacefully January 4, in the Purdy Pavillion at UBC Hopsital. Bob was born in Winnipeg and moved to Vancouver when he was nine years old. As a young man in Vancouver, Bob played semi-professional baseball at Cap Stadium. He met Lorraine at a high school track meet and spent the next 66 years with her. Bob served as lieutenant-governor of Kiwanis and then dedicated many years to overseeing the Kiwanis Court Housing Committee. Bob enjoyed world travel, his RV, his yearly vacation in Mexico and spending time with his family. Bob was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Irene Long. He is survived by his wife Lorraine and by his children: Joanne Long (Brian Pulham), Bob (Cynthia), Janis Servais (Tom) and Doug (Sandy). He loved spending time with his 7 grandchildren: Christina, Jennifer, Stephanie, (Aaron), Sean, Robert,Danny, and Natalie. Greatgrandchildren, Lily and Cooper were recent additions to Bob’s life. Special thanks to the staff and volunteers at the Purdy Pavillion where Bob spent his last year. Please join us in a celebration of Bob’s life at the Charthouse Restaurant, Steveston on January 12, 2013 from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers,donations may be made to Children’s Hospital or the Heart and Stroke Fund.

It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Heinrich George (Henry) Schuette. Henry suffered a stroke during surgery on July 1, 2012 and remained in hospital until he was brought home by his family on September 27. The Lord took him peacefully in his sleep on December 29. Henry was born in Germany in 1934. His father died in World War II when Henry was just 6 years old. He immigrated alone to Vancouver in 1955 and was married there in 1959. In 1972, he moved his young family to Richmond where he spent the rest of his life as a self-taught builder and businessman. Henry will be lovingly remembered for his dedication, advice, and humour by his wife Elfriede of 53 years, his sister Wilma, his 5 children Diana, Ralph (Margaret), Ruby (Gordon), Derald, and Randy (Rhonda) and his 12 grandchildren, Amanda, Chelsea, Matthew, Spencer, Jake, Jessica, Sam, Ben, Jeffrey, Jackson, Joshua and Gracelynn. Henry was predeceased by his parents, and younger brother Helmut. The family wishes to thank all the staff at Classic LifeCare for the loving care they provided during Henry`s final months at home. A memorial service to honour Henry will be held on Saturday January 12, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at Richmond Funeral Home - 8420 Cambie Road Richmond, BC - with a reception to follow.

“ARIEL AND CHARLIE”, ID# 266257 AND #268881, FEMALES, FLEMISH GIANT MIX, 2 YEARS 4 MONTHS & 7 MONTHS Charlie and her mom, Ariel are bonded and will have to be adopted together. Ariel’s foster mom says Ariel is a beautiful rabbit with a great disposition. She’s an absolute sweetheart. She is a little shy when she first meets people but once she know who you are she comes to chat. Charlie is great at getting into her carrier and knows that it means a trip to the outside playpen. Like all the big bunnies they have lovely temperaments and are great with other bunnies, cats and respectful kids. Both mom and daughter loves greens and fresh hay. They are not fond of being picked up but are super friendly and love to be petted. Come and meet them and you will be sure to fall in love.
