Distracted driving in campaign crosshairs by Jeff Nagel
is a common cause of rear-end crashes and injuries – there is no safe following distance when your mind is not on the road.” A 2012 survey for ICBC found B.C. motorists consider texting while driving to be just as risky as drinking and driving, yet 40 per cent of those who own cellphones admit they’ve used a hand-held phone while driving. ICBC says it counts use of communications or video equipment among the sources of driver distraction, along with driver inattention.
Third highest cause of fatal crashes kills 31 a year in Lower Mainland
Black Press Police and ICBC are launching a month-long campaign to deter distracted driving, the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in the province after speed and impaired driving. In the Lower Mainland, driver distraction is blamed as a factor in 31 deaths a year and in 91 fatalities province-wide. Transportation ministry officials estimate drivers are four times likelier to crash when talking on a hand-held phone while driving and 23 times more
likely to be in a crash if texting. Enforcement by officers handing out $167 fines will be stepped up throughout September, according to police. And officials kicked off the campaign Thursday using a simulator to show the effect of distractions on a driver. “Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention,” ICBC interim president Mark Blucher said. “When you’re distracted behind the wheel your reaction time is significantly reduced.

A 78-year-old Richmond woman died of injuries she suffered in an accident that occurred shortly after noon on Wednesday on Richmond’s Highway to Heaven. It’s the second fatality in less than 72 hours on No. 5 Road, just 2.5 kilometres apart. Wednesday’s crash occurred at an intersection where collisions have been relatively common, according to ICBC stats, which show 102 crashes between 2008 and 2012 at No. 5 Road and Blundell. According to Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton, an eastbound Dodge Caravan travelling on Blundell Road collided with a northbound Toyota Corolla on No. 5 Road, with the two vehicles then striking a Mercedes heading west on Blundell shortly after 12:30 p.m. Two women in the back of the Toyota were the most seriously injured, with a 52-yearold taken to Vancouver General Hospital, where she has undergone two surgeries and as of Thursday morning was listed in critical but stable condition.

Black Press TransLink is reviewing its practice of spending significant sums on public art to beautify SkyTrain stations after criticism of its priorities. Board chair Nancy Olewiler defends the concept of paying to put art in parts of the transit system, but says the policy for selecting works and the amounts to be spent is being reconsidered. TransLink has so far approved spending $615,000 for three public art installations at Metrotown, Commercial-Broadway and Main Street-Science World as part of Expo Line SkyTrain station upgrades. The transportation authority is also expected to consider art installations for Surrey Central and Joyce-Collingwood stations. “We’re very mindful of the need to pinch every penny,” Olewiler said, adding it’s too soon yet to say if the art pieces already commissioned are too costly or not. “I’m totally in favour of the concept,” she said, adding she’d incorporate gardens as well if it were up to her. “As we urbanize we want public spaces to be welcoming and accommodating. People want to see
“It really is totally inappropriate. The TransLink people are always crying for money from local government. But on the other hand they’re spending money as if it comes from a bottomless pit.” – Delta Mayor Lois Jackson that their city isn’t just turned into giant blocks of concrete.” Spectacular art has made YVR a wonder of the airport world, she noted. “It makes people much happier waiting for that plane flight,” Olewiler said. “And we want people to be happy on SkyTrain too.” The director of SFU’s school of public policy argues public art can serve more purposes than just pleasing the eye. She said research by criminologists suggests the addition of public art can help make crime-prone areas not just more welcoming but also safer and more secure. Olewiler noted municipalities pay for public art all the time. The latest, a $100,000 sevenfoot-tall white poodle statue on Vancouver’s Main Street, was partly funded by TransLink and met mixed reviews.
Other prominent pieces include two immense 18-foot bird statues in southeast False Creek. Olympic Village developers covered the $600,000 cost. TransLink’s art policy review began early this spring in response to ongoing management-led efforts to cut costs, Olewiler said. Art for the initial three stations had already been approved but there’s no word yet on what designs will be used. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she thinks most transit riders would rather see the money spent on improved buses and transit, not public art. “It really is totally inappropriate,” Jackson said. “The TransLink people are always crying for money from local government. But on the other hand they’re spending money as if it comes from a bottomless pit.”
Florist has seen many crashes at No. 5 Road intersection
Martin van den Hemel photo The Highway to Heaven has often led to tears thanks to traffic accidents along No. 5 Road, as is evidenced by this roadside memorial. Adding to the toll over the years were two fatal collisions in a 72-hour span just 2.5 kilometres apart on Monday and Wednesday.
From Page 1 The other woman, 78, was taken to Richmond Hospital with what initially appeared to be less serious injuries, but later died. Three others were treated for non-life threatening injuries. Florist Candy Wong, of Florist on the Fifth, said she’s been working at the store for more than six years, and has seen many accidents at the intersection. Though she didn’t witness Wednesday’s crash, and only heard the sound of the collisions, Wong said: “I think it’s the biggest one.” While the intersection was blocked to traffic as emergency crews attended to the victim, it was open to traffic within an hour, unusual considering there was a fatality. Ashton said investigators will now be looking for security video footage taken from nearby homes to search for the cause of the crash. Ashton said the Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Section will now try to determine what triggered the fatal crash. But so far, no charges have been laid, and no tickets issued, Ashton said. Meanwhile, police are continuing to investigate the hit-and-run death of a 64-year-old Richmond cyclist around 3:30 a.m. Monday on No. 5 Road, at Montego Street. The man died of his injuries, and the vehicle involved fled the scene. The man’s family requested that his name not be released to the public, though a note attached to a bouquet of flowers placed at the scene by his family calls him Prokop. Thanks to a licence plate that apparently fell off during the collision and was found near the crash site, investigators were quickly able to track down the suspect, a 26-year-old Richmond man, who has been arrested. Anyone with information about either crash is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212.

Trudeau’s pot admission reefer madness to U.S. lawyer Disclosing marijuana use ‘kiss of death’ for entering States by Jeff Nagel Black Press Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s admission he smoked marijuana after becoming an MP—and the ensuing flurry of similar disclosures by other Canadian politicians—has a U.S. immigration lawyer shaking his head. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw him admit to it,” said Len Saunders. The Blaine, Wash. lawyer says Trudeau and any other admitted Canadian pot smokers—high profile or not—should expect to be refused entry to the U.S. “Justin Trudeau is inadmissable to the United States,” Saunders said. “He’s admitted to use of

an illegal substance. If he’s elected prime minister he can’t come into the U.S. without a waiver.” Saunders warned earlier this year he was seeing large numbers of B.C. residents permanently denied entry to the U.S. after they admitted to past marijuana use when questioned by American border agents. Washington State’s vote in late 2012 to legalize, tax and sell marijuana has created confusion, leading some B.C. residents to believe pot is now a non-issue when heading south. In fact, Saunders said, the drug remains illegal under U.S. federal law and someone with no criminal record who merely

admits historic marijuana use can be barred from entry because it’s a crime of “moral turpitude.” Saunders said he hasn’t seen any new cases this summer of Canadians refused entry for admitting pot use. He said the pending changes in Washington State—stores selling marijuana are expected to open there within a year—may have left U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials unsure how to apply the law right now. But Saunders said he still believes it’s folly for any Canadian to publicly disclose their past pot use—either on camera as Trudeau did or via searchable social media posts or

Facebook posts about marijuana or even photos on your mobile phone could be sources of trouble at the border, he said. “It’s the kiss of death if you want to enter the U.S.” Polls suggest Trudeau has not lost support among Canadian voters, most of whom back some form of pot decriminalization or legalization.

for access should happen sometime in 2014, he said, but timelines may shift depending on what’s learned in passenger beta tests. “We haven’t changed our plan,” he said, adding the strategy has always been to begin with testing and then use a carefully measured rollout to work out bugs and ensure riders have lots of time to adapt to the changes. Regular tickets and passes will continue to work in parallel with the Compass cards for months before old fare types are phased out and the gates lock. “I think it’s semantics,” Olewiler said. “I don’t view it as a delay. I view this as a logical way to bring in a very large IT and behavioural change project. We’re going to take the time to get it right.” Asked if TransLink will collect more net fare revenue from passengers by reducing prepaid fare discounts—Compass Card users will get just a 14 per cent discount versus cash fares instead of the more than 20 per cent now provided to FareSaver ticket buyers—Olewiler said that’s not the aim. “It was not the overall intent to raise prices,” she said, adding the system of discounts had to be streamlined and simplified. “Some will pay more, some won’t pay more and some will pay less.” FareSavers are to be eliminated Jan. 1, but there are concerns that if TransLink sticks to that timeline some riders may have to pay full fare while they wait to get Compass cards. Provincial and federal government contributions cover about $70 million of the budgeted cost of the faregates and smart card system. TransLink originally opposed installing faregates, arguing revenue recouped from fare evaders—up to $7 million a year—would never cover the costs. But the system was mandated by thenTransportation Minister Kevin Falcon and TransLink planners decided smart card payments would bring many advantages.

With the average postsecondary student now accumulating $27,000 in loans, according to the Canadian Federation of Students, higher learning is becoming more and more out of reach. Such debt doesn’t giving graduates a solid financial footing.

of tuition and fees. Students would sign a binding contract to pay the State of Oregon, or the institution, a certain percentage of their adjusted gross income for a specified number of years following graduation. Lawmakers in Oregon were unanimous in agreeing to the study. And good on them. The benefits of postsecondary education are many, and essential for many of the careers students want. Yet the prospect of being saddled with a crushing debt load for 10 years— the average length of time for a student to pay
back loans—is startling. Especially if such students are determined to stay in Richmond, where house prices are fast becoming out of reach. Student loans can be a heavy burden for individuals and the economy. Much debate has already occurred over the Oregon approach. It’s not perfect. For example, the program would only cover tuition and fees, not rent, transportation, food and other expenses. The pay-back period could also last over 20 years, an awful long time for people to continue paying schooling costs. There’s
likely also a significant upfront cost to the program for government. But the cost of studying the idea is no doubt worthwhile. Indeed, it removes financial lenders—and their interest and fees—from the equation. It also removes the penalty on students who choose to pursue lower-paid professions. Government doesn’t have more money to boost the budgets of post-secondary institutions. Students are expected to take the hit. It might not be for everyone, but the Pay Forward, Pay Back program just might give the right students the right help at the right time.
A salute to teachers and all they bring

What’s the solution? Let’s start with a conversation, such as the one happening south of the border right now. One so innovative that policy-makers in Canada should take note. This summer the Oregon legislature agreed to study a trial program that would allow students to attend state universities with no money down. In other words, no tuition. The catch is students must contribute a set portion of their future income to the program— essentially paying for their debt. The “Pay Forward, Pay Back” pilot program would replace the current system
t was while turned around in my desk, chatting with the guy behind me, that the soft, tri-striped eraser with the rockhard back side arced through the classroom air, split two rows of desks, zoomed up the aisle and landed with a thud right behind my ear.
That eraser left the hand of one of the best teachers I have ever had, Mr. Gladman, and I can still feel that Grade 6 welt today. It’s a feeling associated with the very best of my school days. Grade 6 was a year of firsts—first crushes, first overnight field trips, first rollerskating trips and first teacher who made a serious impression on students. Mr. Gladman wasn’t much older than us (at least he didn’t seem that much older) and was, therefore, seen as an almost contemporary in the teaching fraternity that had, until Grade 6, us looking at teachers as though they were all standing on the very cliff of retirement.
Not Mr. Gladman, or “Bags,” as we called him. He was cool. He would teach in very different ways. He knew how to help you find your passion among the subjects. He would spend all lunch hour in the classroom, debating sports with the students. He would stay long after the final bell, talking about life or playing floor hockey with us until the janitors kicked us out of the gym. And, yes, he would deftly utilize chalkboard erasers, or dense textbooks, or taped-up wads of paper as aerial weapons when the boys among us insisted on not listening during a lesson. Back then, we accepted the brief pain from a Gladman missile as the price to pay for goofing off ; today, such acts would likely result in court hearings — reason No. 546 why things were so much better then than now... This week marks the start of the 2013-2014 school year. For kids, summer is done and it’s time to get those brains working again. For parents, it can be time to remember the Mr. Gladmans of our youth, those special teachers whose remarkable gift in the classroom remains fresh in our minds decades after the fact. Is there another profession in which the talent and passion of those employed can have such a significant and lasting impact shaping lives? So, in honour of this, the real start to the year, a salute to the teachers who stay with me yet: • To Ms. Wood, my Grade
Metro Creative photo This week marks the start of the new school year. For parents, it can be a time to remember the teachers of their youth.
1 teacher, my first-ever teacher, who introduced a boy of six to his first rapid heartbeat. Ms. Wood, you see, had only recently been crowned Miss Abbotsford. • To Mrs. Martens, my Grade 4 teacher who perfected the schoolmarm look and who shared my love for zany BCTV weatherman Norm Grohman, often interrupting a math lesson to share laughs about the previous night’s News Hour antics of Crazy Norm. • To Mr. Anderson, my Grade 7 teacher who may have been almost as hockey-crazy as us boys and who had a heart of gold. It was he who palmed the slip of paper bearing the name of the girl with whom I was madly in love, holding the piece of paper
to the end as students pulled names for Christmas gifts — and dropping it into the empty hat when I was to pick the final name. • To Mr. Stewart, the legendary librarian/gym teacher/basketball coach of the Fraser Valley who would constantly bring out newspapers for my Grade 8 mind to read and read and read. • To Mr. Toews, a high school teacher who could barely smile and rarely laugh, but whose strict teaching style was so good that, today, 27 years later, I still know all the details of Louis Riel and the Red River Rebellion courtesy of an inventive system of organizing the issues involved (language, religion, racism, etc.) into a neat little poem. • To Mr. Ratzlaff, whose
unbridled passion for history was as addictive as crack, whose teaching style was so energetic one was exhausted when the bell rang. On. Jan. 28, 1986, on the morning the space shuttle Challenger exploded, history was my first class and Mr. Ratzlaff suspended the usual lesson and sat at the edge of his desk, just talking with his students about the tragedy. I think he did that all day. To these teachers and all others whose marks on this world— via lesson plans and airborne projectiles— live on in the minds and bodies of kids of all ages, welcome to a new school year.

Speed of vehicles is ‘out of hand’ and putting cyclists at risk Editor: Re: Cyclist killed, hit-and-run driver found, Sept. 4. Yet again we hear that another person cycling in Metro Vancouver has been killed as a result of a crash with a motor vehicle, this time in Richmond. At HUB: Your Cycling Connection, we believe that many serious crashes can be eliminated with improved infrastructure and better education of all road users. The speed of motor vehicles involved in a crash with those walking or riding a bike is a major factor in determining
whether the outcome is injury or death. The speed of motor vehicles travelling on the roads of Richmond is out of hand and needs to be confronted. Better enforcement of speed limits will help, but lower speed limits on municipal roads will make the roads safer for everyone. Municipalities like Vancouver have asked the province to allow them to introduce 40 km/h legislation, and countries like Sweden are implementing 30 km/h urban speed limits as a way of achieving their target of
zero traffic fatalities. Although the City of Richmond has made some effort at improving cycling infrastructure, it clearly is not enough. It is great that we can bike along recreational paths like the dike system and now we have a new greenway running alongside Railway Avenue. We also have some neighbourhood bikeways and some roads with painted bike lanes, but there are many sections of Richmond where cycling infrastructure is nonexistent. We desperately need a con-

nected city-wide network of safe and convenient cycling routes so that those who choose to cycle for their next trip can be assured of a safe trip the whole way. The city has recently adopted an Official Community Plan which has a good cycling component, but the completion date of 2041 should be moved up by several decades so that the people of Richmond can have a safe and convenient cycling network much sooner.

A new art exhibition that literally and figuratively projects alternate visions of our reality opens at Richmond Art Gallery tonight (Friday). Fictive Realities features five artists who ask: What is real, and how do we know it’s real? In a wired world where we rely on technology for information, how does one separate fiction from reality? Through various media, the artists project alternate visions of our reality to make viewers aware of the fictions we inhabit. Guest curated by Paul Walde, the exhibition features the work of artists Michelle Gay, Lee Henderson, Doug Jarvis, Steve Lyons and Peter Morin. A free, public opening reception happens Friday, Sept. 6 from 7 to 9 p.m. The exhibition will then run from Sept. 7 to Nov. 3.

Richmond Hospital Foundation Honours James & Ann McPhail’s Contributions to Local Health Care
Left to right are Karen Cotterill, Terry McPhail and Gary McPhail, daughter and sons of James and Ann McPhail
Longtime Richmond residents, James and Ann McPhail built a life for themselves and their family and as successful entrepreneurs, they always looked for ways to give back to their community. From Kwantlen Polytechnic University, to Richmond Community Foundation, to our own Richmond Hospital Foundation, James and Ann were quiet pioneers of philanthropy. Over the years, The James & Ann McPhail Foundation has provided significant contributions for Richmond Hospital to help improve care for patients. They have made donations to help pay for a CT scanner, a new open-bore MRI machine, upgrades to our ambulatory clinic area, and improvements to our operating rooms.
James and Ann McPhail
Thanks to a new donation made this year to help support the development and enhancement of best practice in family and patient centred care for mental health and addiction services at Richmond Hospital, their family’s cumulative giving has now eclipsed $750,000.
Family members of those with mental health and addiction conditions have a critical role to play in ensuring the patient’s wellness. The James & Ann McPhail Foundation’s contribution will help Richmond Hospital’s health care teams implement a regionally endorsed approach to care that supports the family role. In April, we were proud to present The James & Ann McPhail Foundation with the 2013 Milan & Maureen Ilich Philanthropic Award of Distinction. To further recognize all they have done and what they continue to do for Richmond’s health care, an area of the hospital will be renovated in honour of James & Ann MacPhail as part of the hospital’s renewal project. The project is estimated to be completed by Spring 2014. Today, James and Ann’s spirit endures through their children Karen, Terry, and Gary. On behalf of our patients, doctors, and health care professionals, Richmond Hospital Foundation extends a heartfelt thank you to the James & Ann McPhail Foundation.

Steveston artist creates ‘illusions of reality’ Ginny Wilkie talks about growing up in Montreal, painting leafless trees and the stray dog that became her first pet by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter As a kid in Quebec, Ginny Wilkie had an early claim to fame: rubbing shoulders with great Canadian artists. There was Arthur Lismer, who belonged to the famed Group of Seven—an early 20th century group of Canadian landscape painters. Wilkie would often tag along with her mother who was a regular in Lismer’s classes in Montreal. She’d watch his lessons, and often stay late. Then there was painter Stanley Cosgrove, a close family friend who Wilkie still remembers through an antique rocking chair now in her Steveston home. During one visit in Montreal, Cosgrove’s partner
Karen moved toward the small chair, and to everyone’s horror, it snapped into pieces when she sat down. Repairs were made, and Wilkie now keeps it steps away from where she paints. A 27-year resident of Steveston, Wilkie is an artist who paints with acrylics, pastes and gels on canvas. The University of B.C.-trained artist has dabbled in many art areas. In her early years she focused on brightlypainted dough figures for children and then eventually expanding to painting and creating large wall murals for children. Today, her works— textured to create the illusion of depth—can often be found in coffee shop galleries. From now until Sept. 23, her works can be seen at Ro-
canini Coffee Roasters Cafe (115-3900 Moncton St.) in a joint show with Sharleen Hartfiel. To see Wilkie’s artwork, visit ginnywilkie. com or facebook.com/ginnywilkieart. 1. Describe yourself? I’m sensitive, ambitious, kind and highly aware of other people’s emotions. I tend to be upbeat and positive. 2. How did Quebec influence your art? Montreal, where I grew up, was a very cultural city. My parents were very involved in the arts and music scene there. I was always brought out to museums, concerts. 3. What do you like to paint? I like to paint simple, uplifting and vibrant paintings, particularly trees. Clear, crisp colours
are very important to me. The images are not necessarily meant to be realistic, I am more into creating illusions of reality. 4. What draws you to paint leafless trees? The simplicity—the contrast of the textured trees
with... with the purity of the glowing backgrounds. Less is more. 5. Trapped on a desert island with brushes, paper, canvas—and what 3 other artist’s tools? Moulding paste, gels and a set of palette knives. 6. What do you like best about Steveston? The beauty of the natural surroundings, the sunsets, the character, and of course, the close friendships that have

Nothing too strange yet. 9. Painting you’re most proud of? I am very fond of the large sized canvases of trees on the blue backgrounds. 10. Go-to attire when painting? None in particular, I get covered in paint though, really should learn to put on a smock! 11. What do you do for inspiration? I am very instinctual and am inspired once I actually start a painting. I really don’t know what the finished product will look like when I begin, often in the end it is not at all like what I had expected it to be when finished. The paintings seem to just take on a life of their own as they develop. See Page 13

My father was a doctor, and my mother a stayat-home mom, until later years when she got her master’s degree in biology and embarked on a teaching career. 13. Where do you paint? I paint at home, upstairs in a very bright den. I need good lighting as I paint a lot with iridescent paints and it’s important to be able to see clearly so as to get the right glowing effect. 14. What’s the most unusual mural you’ve made? Enormous clowns floating around the room holding bunches of colourful hot air balloons. Elephants, monkeys and giraffes looking on from a train. 15.

World Wide Spin in Public Day set for Sept. 15 The Richmond Weavers and Spinners Guild is inviting visitors to its World Wide Spin in Public Day. The event goes Sunday, Sept. 15 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Richmond Cultural Centre plaza, 180-7700 Minoru Gate. The brainchild of Cindy Cole of Ontario, World Wide Spin in Public Day was created in 2009 to celebrate the art of spinning fibres into yarn. This event raises awareness of the art of spinning and aims to educate the public about the artform. The Richmond guild, a 30-year-old group, will have equipment available for the public to try their hand at spinning, as well as the opportunity to experience fibres and yarn. Those planning to join in on the spinning fun are asked to RSVP by e-mailing Pauline at p.mullaney@shaw.ca. Attendees are encouraged to bring along excess or unloved spinning fibre, tools, books, etc. to trade, barter and sell amongst other participants.
16. In your early days as an artist, who was a guiding force? My mother and her huge appreciation of the beauty of nature, everything in life was special to her and she passed that appreciation on to her family. 17. Best art gallery/ museum you’ve visited? Many, particularly in Paris and England.
18. Something from your bucket list? I don’t really have a bucket list. Every day is a joy and an adventure. 19. Favourite time to paint? All times of the day, but it is easier to paint in the daytime with the natural light. 20. Where do you sell your work? Word of mouth, coffee shops and some galleries.
Driven to Distraction THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Barrister & Solicitor
re Road Rules readers driven to distraction by how frequently we write about distracted driving? We hope not. We hope that Road Rules has helped our readers better understand the level of mindful attention needed for safe driving and inspired them to stick with obeying the rules even when they see, alas, many who do not. The topic is complicated for sure and temptingly easy to dismiss as ‘much ado about nothing.’ Drivers have been driving and … fill in the blank here: drinking coffee, changing the radio station, playing CDs, disciplining their kids in the back seat, reading maps, petting the dog, fixing their make-up, conversing with passengers, … etc. for many driving years. Then along come the most powerful and convenient-to-use communication devices ever invented, like smart phones and GPS navigational devices and in-car televisions and digital audio devices that sync with the car’s sound system — devices that continue to dazzle us with their ease of use and multifeature benefits — and all of a sudden a new definition “distracted driving” is born. What’s new? It doesn’t feel like you could possibly be putting anyone at risk when, stuck in traffic, sitting through multiple light changes, you call or text on your hand-held phone to report on your non-progress. It doesn’t feel like you could possibly be putting anyone at risk when, moving smoothly along the highway in light traffic you call or text on your hand-held phone to report on your progress. If you habitually, effortlessly use your mobile device
while multi-tasking in lots of other situations, using it while driving seems equally harmless. Receiving a ticket for such an offence feels unfair and wrong — a complete overreaction on the part of the attending officer acting under the authority of a harsh, overly punitive law, another example of regulation run amuck. Confounding the issue is the fact that the law actually permits emergency responders to use their mobile devices while driving. Many callers to a recent Vancouver afternoon radio show on distracted driving said they had witnessed police car crashes perhaps resulting from police officers driving while using in-car communication devices. “What gives?” was the gist of their calls. Another issue is the growing awareness that the hands-free exception in the law is a distinction without a difference. Numerous studies show that hands-free calling is equally cognitively distracting, increases reaction time, reduces visual monitoring of car instruments and the general traffic situation, and has a negative impact on ability to control a vehicle. There is even said to be evidence that drivers who use hand-held phones may actually drive more safely than hands-free drivers, reducing their speed and increasing their following distance to reduce their crash risk. Most experts focused on this subject appear to agree that distracted driving is a serious and ever-growing road safety problem. More study and data collection are needed to better understand the nature and extent of the risk, hopefully to result in more internally consistent rules governing such behaviour. No doubt, therefore, Road Rules will continue to address this important topic. Please stay tuned.

Manage school, family, and extra curricular activities with a daily reminder, courtesy of a large wall calendar. 4. Get help.

The countdown to school is on! For most, getting ready to start the school year means buying new clothes and school supplies. While these things are important to help kids head back to school in style, they do nothing to help children get better grades or have a successful school year. This year, children of all ages should go back to school with the ultimate accessory for the classroom: a brain that is ready to learn! Rather than wait and see how their children will do this school year, parents should prepare them for success from the first day of school (or even before) by implementing good habits that will last the entire year. These Six Tips For School Success from Oxford Learning can help students of all grades be better prepared to learn— and have a more successful school year! 1. Break bad habits. Don’t fall back into old routines and bad habits. Start this year with a fresh and new positive routine. The earlier you get your child on track, the easier it is for him or her to stay on track. 2. Get informed. Develop regular communication with the teacher so that both you and your child know what to expect at this grade level. Be informed of

School preparation more than buying supplies Psychologist offers tips for parents to better communicate with their kids
G
oing away to college or university marks a milestone in the lives of young adults and their parents. For the child it’s an exciting time to develop new relationships, take on additional responsibility, and develop their own identity. For parents it can be a time to think about their role. Dr. David Wolfe, a psychologist and director of the Centre for Prevention Science at Toronto-based Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, has developed a series of tips to help parents better communicate with their children—and build healthy relationships with them. 1. Be a parent, not a friend. While growing up children learned to depend on you for
mature advice and guidance. Continue this role, and step back a bit from needing to know everything in their life. 2. Don’t intrude. Let them make new friends, while knowing you’re still a major part of their life. Try to resist the temptation to contact them too often, through e-mails, text messages, Facebook and phone calls. Let them take the lead. 3. Don’t pressure. Parents are sometimes too eager to see their kids find their niche, settle their plans, and reach their goals. This can come across to them as pressure or demands. Finding their niche takes time, and it’s their time and their life. 4. Avoid “helicopter parenting.” Some say today’s parents are more hovering and protective than previous generations, which
can make the process of transition difficult for some who are used to daily contact with parents. While it is important that you provide ongoing support and remain involved and interested in your child’s life, you must be willing to back-off and let them grow. 5. Encourage new ideas. College and university is a time to explore new options and be exposed to new possibilities, so encourage them to investigate new courses and interests, even if it could mean a change in focus or delay in completing their degree. In the long run this is time well spent, for they will have chosen a career that is best for them. 6. Be supportive. It is important for students to feel supported, but still in charge. Students who learn to man-

age the tension and worry associated with academic and social changes end up more successful and welladjusted. Your role involves listening and guiding, not directing, cajoling or pressuring. 7. Encourage friendships and connection.
Students who develop meaningful relationships with peers have fewer emotional and physical symptoms of stress. Encourage them to try new interests, develop new friendships, and go to new places - even if they’re a bit uncomfortable. En-
couraging connection is especially important if your child lives at home. 8. Be a touchstone of maturity and good advice. In an effort to make friends and fit in (or to cope with stress and anxiety), some students engage in exces-
sive drinking, drug use, promiscuous sexual activity, and other health-compromising activities. Rather than telling your child what they can or cannot do, let them know what you expect of them, and how proud you are of their efforts.

enormous pressure to succeed academically, and 24 per cent don’t know if they’ll attend college or university, according to a new survey. The Big Brothers Big Sisters/CIBC Academic Success Survey found that of those uncertain of pursuing college or university, 64 per cent wished they had an adult to advise them on career options. As many as one in five have no concrete future plans. The survey, conducted by Ipsos Reid for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada and CIBC, found that overall students seemed enthusiastic about returning to high school and confident (93 per cent) in their abilities to succeed academically. However, the findings also reveal that students are well aware of the hard economic realities of today’s jobs market and feel worried about doing well enough (63 per cent) so that they can get into college or university. Nearly half (44 per

cent) say the pressure to excel in high school is so great that they wish everyone would just back off. The survey found that 88 per cent believe that students with mentors are more likely to succeed than those without one. “We may think Canada’s high school students are carefree and not worried, but the fact is they’re not,” said Bruce MacDonald, president and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. “Given the pressures of high school life and so many
students being unsure about pursuing higher education, mentoring is more important than ever.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada and CIBC commissioned the survey to examine how students entering grades 10, 11 and 12 perceive the importance of academic success and positive role models. It also explored their enthusiasm for returning to school, their confidence levels and career plans, and what’s stressing them out the most. The poll
took place in late July. The survey identified three major sources of stress: finding a job in their chosen field (68 per cent), the pressure to do well so that they can get into postsecondary education (63 per cent), and not having the money for college or university (51 per cent). “Earning a postsecondary education is truly an investment in a student’s future,” said Jamie Golombek, managing director and personal finance expert at CIBC.

Tips for quick weeknight meals There can be little time to make a family meal during the busy back-to-school season—so spend less time in the kitchen
E
njoying a meal together on a weeknight is a goal for many families. But adults often find themselves pressed for time on weeknights, and that time crunch can make it difficult to enjoy a home-cooked meal. But time is not the only thing getting in the way of family meals. Be it after school activities, long commutes or late hours at the office, many things can make it difficult for a family to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Studies have shown that families who eat together tend to eat healthier, as parents can more effectively monitor their kids’ diets, including whether or not their youngsters are getting enough fruits and vegetables, when they are dining together. While it may not be feasible for parents and kids to scale back their busy schedules, there are steps parents can take to make weeknight meal preparation quicker. By shortening the time it takes to make meals on weeknights, families might be able to sit down to dinner together
more often. •Plan ahead. The most effective way to make more time for family meals is to plan ahead. Planning meals on the fly encourages everyone to fend for themselves, making it difficult for families to enjoy nutritious meals they can eat together. Plan for the coming week’s meals on the weekend, when you can survey your pantry and make a trip to the grocery store if need be. Planning ahead also allows you to prepare certain parts of a meal in advance, which will save you time on busy weeknights. •Make cold meals. Dinner does not have be served hot, and cold meals often take less time to prepare. Consider serving salad or sandwiches on those nights when you are especially pressed for time. When serving sandwiches, serve them on whole grain bread to add some nutritional value to the meal. •Turn breakfast into dinner. There are no laws regarding what qualifies as dinner and what does not, so families without much time on their hands on a weeknight can turn breakfast into dinner. Eggs are
both quick and easy to prepare, and they can be served alongside toast and grapefruit. When making omelets for dinner, add some spinach or another vegetable to make the meal more nutritious. •Lean on seafood more often. Seafood can be healthy and delicious, but that’s not the only reason it’s an ally to timestrapped families. Seafood should not take much time to cook, as even those dishes that take more time than simpler dishes like sauteed shrimp will still take less than 30 minutes to complete. That’s significantly less time than meals in which beef, pork or poultry is the main entree. •Leftovers aren’t just for lunch. Leftovers are often relegated to lunch, but extras from a meal cooked over the weekend can be used as a quick go-to meal on a hectic weeknight. If the family enjoyed the meal the first time around, there’s no reason they won’t enjoy it again. When eating leftovers for dinner, make sure the leftovers are fresh, but try to avoid serving leftovers the night after they were initially cooked.

OUR CITY ¦ OUR YOUTH ¦ OUR VIEW
Students make life-changing trip to Africa Refilwe Orphanage visit was an eye-opener by Anushka Kurian Youth Reporter On a cool July 25 evening, eight Richmond youth embarked on a life-altering experience. Their destination: Refilwe Orphanage, Johannesburg, South Africa. The teens who journeyed to Africa were able to partake in numerous forms of humanitarian work, including working with the orphans housed in Refilwe, visiting several daycares, making renovations, and helping with construction. “I feel extremely blessed to have had the chance to travel halfway around the world and make a
difference in the lives of others,” said Brandon Low, one of the high school students on the team. “I was shocked to see how happy the people were in Africa with what little they had. People living with close to nothing still lived every day with sheer happiness.” The team of five Hugh Boyd Secondary students, three Hugh Boyd graduates, two teachers, four Richmond firefighters and two Rotarians from the Richmond Sunset Rotary Club was the largest so far to travel to Africa on Hugh Boyd’s biennial trip. The numbers proved advantageous when the team took on arduous tasks like building drain-
age systems for houses or singlehandedly renovating Hlakanang preschool. “It was shocking, it opened my eyes,” said student Liam Gillanders. “I couldn’t believe that every day, 20 children went to preschool in that tiny shack.” The team spent several days renovating the preschool, adding linoleum flooring, expanding the kitchen, adding another room to the facility, creating a patio and awnings, and fixing the roof. When not spending their day remaking preschools or conjuring up drainage systems, the heartfelt humanitarians used their time to play hockey and sing songs with the kids at Refilwe and several other daycares they were able to visit.

Steveston hosts arts festival Sunday
Rview seeking writers Rview is seeking local young writers who are willing to volunteer their time and share their thoughts and stories about the city of Richmond, and the youth who make it come to life. Rview is the youth publication of The Richmond Review, and publishes monthly. Open to students between the ages of 12 and 21, the Rview program offers youth an introduction to the field of journalism. Interested locals are urged to send in their resume, a sample of their writing, and a cover letter explaining why they’re interested in writing for Rview. Applications should be e-mailed to Rview mentor Martin van den Hemel (martin@richmondreview.com) by Oct. 11.
Arts in the Park youth event to feature poets, musicians and improv teams by Anushka Kurian Youth Reporter How do I get Richmond youth outside? This was the thought reverberating inside Angelica Poversky’s head when the 15-yearold McMath secondary student returned from the Get Outside BC leadership summit. Teaming up with 19-year-old Emily May, the two Richmondites responded to the challenge by combining the theme of the outdoors with their cumulative interests in the arts and the environment. The result was a festival for all of Richmond’s youth to enjoy, organized and directed entirely by the two ambitious youngsters: “Arts in the Park.” On Sept. 8, from noon
Anushka Kurian photo Angelica Poversky is among the performers.
until 8 p.m., Steveston Park will be filled with youth performers of every variety, from poets to musicians and improv teams, all in celebration of the arts and being outdoors. “We’re trying to create a festival that will have an atmosphere for positive change through artistic expression,” said Poversky. “We hope
it will bring people together and have them inspired by each others’ art.” The free all-day event is to feature artistic Lower Mainland youth including the group GreenTree, and RichCity Idol 2013 runner-up Kat Perez. This is the first time the two teens have independently organized
a large-scale community event. “It looks like roses and daisies if you aren’t behind the curtain,” said May. “It’s been stressful because of all the work to do in such a short time frame.” The two youth began planning the event in late July, and in the following month, with help from the City of Richmond, have managed to pull everything together just in time for September to roll around. “Our vision for the event is seeing youth from the Lower Mainland come together to celebrate art and the outdoors and realize there are things in life more simple and beautiful than we ever imagine,” said Poversky. “Lots of tears, sweat and
blood are going into this festival, so it should be great.” Added May: “Come out and enjoy. Bring a blanket, have a picnic, support the community, other youth, and our mission: to get youth outside.”

the game was was played at a way faster pace than our kids were used to,”said Haddow. “And their kids were all disciplined.” But while the score was lopsided, Haddow insists there were plenty of opportunities to learn. And he refuses to believe the Trojans aren’t as good as their American peers. “You learn a ton (playing a game like this),” he said. “We’re trying to tell our kids that yeah, (the players at Davis) are fast, big and athletic, but just like you they’re 16 or 17 and there’s a reason why they’re where they are. They don’t have red capes, it’s just how dedicated they are to the game of football. I’m sure it’s going to make us a lot better.” It was 37 degrees Celsius (100 Farenheit) when the game kicked off at 7 p.m. last Friday. That, too, was a new experience for the boys from this side of the 49th parallel. Even the coaching set up is different there.

In contrast, Haddow—also a teacher at Hugh Boyd—and his peers are strictly volunteer coaches. Not all of the Trojans’ trip to Houston last week was spent on football. They also toured the Johnson Space Centre where the original Mission Control is located, took in an Astros game versus the Seattle Mariners, and as icing on the cake saw Texas A&M play Rice, where Johnny (Football) Manziel electrified the crowd when he entered the game.

and Notre Dame, always a tough AAA opponent” he says. “But we feel this group will be up to the challenge presented by these teams.” Haddow’s optimism spawns from seeing how hard many of the players have worked to prepare for this season and their level of dedication in pre-season practices. He also believes the talent pool is deeper than in the last few years.

Valenzuela expects the Graduates, coming off
a President’s Cup title in their inaugural season to be equally strong in year two as they ultimately take aim at membership in the Premier Division. The Second Division will feature 13 teams, including five from the B.C. Chinese Soccer Federation. Valenzuela says the inclusion of the five teams is a trial at this point, but he believes it will result in a lot of synergy and increase awareness and participation in adult soccer in Richmond. Finally in the Master Division, the Old Blacks (back-to-back champions) will have more teams challenging for their title this season with seven clubs making up the lineup including newcomers Heatherbrae and FC Nikola Tesla. The hope, says Mercer, is that the Masters Division will continue to grow.

Richmond teen wins B.C. bantam golf title Alisha Lau called it a “nerve-wracking” experience. Her play, however, suggested otherwise. Displaying remarkable composure, the 13-yearold Richmond golfer broke a log-jam atop the leader board to earn a single-stroke victory over playing competitor Hannah Lee to win the 2013 B.C. Bantam girls’ title last weekend at Qualicum Beach. “It was a tough battle but I tried to grind it out the best I could and I just fought for it,” said Lau, who carded a final round 1-under par 69 after an opening round evenpar 70. Her 139 total was the only under-par score after two rounds. Lau also had kind words for the golf course. “It is a very nice course.
ALISHA LAU
It was a tough track through the first four or five holes but it is good to have that kind of challenge at these kinds of tournaments,” she said.

Live, work and play at MOSAIC’s Fremont Blue By Kerry Vital
MOSAIC Homes is bringing a touch of colour to Port Coquitlam with Fremont Blue, their new townhome development that’s a paradise for outdoor lovers. The second phase starts sales this month. “This is the most exciting property today,” says MOSAIC’s Geoff Duyker. “It’s just a beautiful place to live.” Fremont Blue is bordered by the Pitt River, the 25-kilometre
Traboulay Trail and park land. “We’ve had people stop by the Home Store on their bikes after getting off the trail,” Duyker says. “It’s really rare to be able to live in this kind of setting.” The homes themselves include open-plan layouts with plenty of space to relax or entertain, oversized windows and nine-foot ceilings throughout the main living areas to maximize your sense of space. “We are doing what we do well in terms of creating beautiful
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
housing,” Duyker says. “MOSAIC has a long track record of building sought-after homes.” Fremont Blue will be part of the master-planned Fremont community, which will include shopping and restaurants. You’ll also be close by schools, leisure and recreation opportunities, as well as the convenience of the Port Mann Bridge, or commuting to Burnaby or Vancouver without having to cross the river. “The whole neighbourhood is going to look a lot different in a few years,” says Duyker. “You could literally live, work and play here. This is the most significant master-planned development in the region.” Buyers will also have access to the Fremont Riverclub, which will include 12,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, including a lap pool, outdoor cooking area, gym, fitness studio and a great room with a big-screen TV, lounge, pool table, card tables and entertainment kitchen and bar, among many other things. Homes start in the mid-$300,000s. For more information, visit mosaichomes.com, call 604-552-0319 or visit the Home Store at 2332 Ranger Lane, open between noon and 6 p.m.

Kitsilano is a vibrant neighbourhood, and Kits360 is perfectly situated to take advantage of every amenity, above right. Among the gorgeous features you’ll find in your new home at Kits360 are stainless-steel appliances and high-gloss cabinetry, below right.
A well-rounded life at Kits360 By Kerry Vital
Kitsilano is one of Vancouver’s most desirable areas, with its array of amenities and outdoor activities all in one place. Intergulf Development Group is now bringing an equally enticing offer to the neighbourhood with Kits360. “Kits is one of the best neighbourhoods in Vancouver,” says project manager Macartney Greenfield. “We named the project Kits360 because there are amenities in literally every direction.” That’s no exaggeration. Kits360 is just steps from the 5th Avenue Cinemas, shopping on West 4th Avenue and recreation on the seawall. You’re also minutes from South
Granville, Yaletown, Granville Island and downtown Vancouver, as well as Kits Beach, Kits Pool and the boardwalk trail. “Kits is a very vibrant community,” Greenfield says. “And that atmosphere can be found in the community of Kits360 as well.” The homes are completed and move-in ready now, which Greenfield says is one of the big draws for buyers. “There’s been a lot of excitement around completion,” she says. “Many happy homeowners have already moved in, and there’s already a great energy within the building. This is definitely an opportunity you can’t miss. It’s a phenomenal place to live.” The final release of inventory at Kits360 features just 15 two-bedroom suites and penthouse homes, ranging from 776 to about 978 square feet. Many homes feature fantastic ocean, mountains or city views and space for outdoor entertaining. “They’re really the cream of the crop. The floorplans available give you lots of flexibility depending on how you live your life,”
Greenfield says, noting that both downsizers and growing families alike have found their dream home at Kits360. “Our floorplans are designed to make condo living a reality for our buyers with flex spaces for their home office, nursery, or whatever they may need,” she says. Each home is spacious and open, with plenty of room to entertain or relax. The kitchens are particularly beautiful. “The kitchen is really the jewel of your home,” Greenfield says. “It’s a huge focus for people and Intergulf did it right.” The stainless-steel appliances are complemented by a modern stone backsplash high-gloss cabinetry and stone countertops. “You can spend tons of time entertaining in here,” Greenfield says. You’ll find engineered laminate wood flooring throughout your new space, as well as over-height ceilings in most homes and a stackable washer/dryer. The bathrooms hold luxurious soaker tubs and plenty of thoughtful details.
“Older homes in Kits don’t have these features,” Greenfield says. “This is a rare opportunity to get this calibre of living and this address.” The amenities at Kits360 are truly topnotch, including an expansive rooftop terrace and outdoor barbecue with a garden, lounge and kitchen area, as well as a courtyard water feature and two fully equipped fitness centres. There is also a 24-hour concierge and bike storage space. With all the amenities available at Kits360, there’s an immediate feeling of luxury as you step inside the building. It’s also obvious that the project fits perfectly into the neighbourhood and everything that makes the area so great. The final release of two-bedroom homes at Kits360 start at $599,900. For more information, visit www.kits360.com, call 604-737-0360 or visit the sales office at 1777 West 7th Avenue, open starting Saturday Sept. 7 from 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Friday, or by appointment.

Country Meadows golfers teeing off for prostate cancer research Members of the Country Meadows Senior Men’s Golf Club will be setting their sights on an exciting new drug for prostate cancer instead of the usual hole-in-one when they step out onto the greens Friday (Sept. 6). The annual charity classic—the longest running golf tournament in BC Cancer Foundation history—has raised over $725,000 in support of prostate cancer research taking place at the BC Cancer Agency. It has supported various charities alongside the BC Cancer Foundation in its infancy until Harold Mahood, one of the event’s founders, thought that it would be more meaningful to
focus on a cause that resonates strongly among elderly men. “Most men are still reluctant to talk about prostate cancer,” says Lorne Carney, a member of the event’s charity committee and past captain of the Country Meadows Senior Men’s Golf Club. During the last decade, funds raised have supported a research initiative that has led to a significant discovery and development of a new prostate cancer drug made by Dr. Marianne Sadar. Offering hope where other drugs have failed, this discovery has the potential to overcome treatment-resistant prostate cancer.

Total Soccer Systems expanding its reach by Don Fennell Sports Editor Total Soccer Systems is expanding its reach. The Richmond-based academy, which operates out of Sportstown, is essentially moving a por-
tion of its programming toward that which is provided by local clubs. “Currently we have four teams made up primarily of youth-age players playing adult soccer in senior leagues such as the Pacific Coast, Metro Women’s
and Vancouver Metro leagues,” says managing director and TSS Academy co-founder Colin Elmes. “Senior soccer has no issues with our model as the leagues are directly registered with the B.C. Soccer Association and are

ing,” he says. The alternate programming has been in place for three years, and Total Soccer Systems has just embarked on fielding two youth teams with players that are exclusive to the academy. “They will not be registered players in a district and therefore will not be registered with the BCSA,” says Elmes, who is person-
ally coaching a U11 boys team (2003 born).“My girls’ program director, Brendan Quarry, is running a U14 Girls team (a 1999 and 2000 born group). These teams will operate outside the normal confines of leagues established by the districts and BCSA and both of these youth teams have a number of Richmond-based players on the roster.”
Plans are afoot to hopefully add at least one more boys’ and girls’ teams each in the coming months. “We will also be continuing with our supplemental training for players who are playing within the system,” says Elmes. “We host about 750 players per season now and already have wait-lists for September in a number of our age groups in both genders.”

Winograd points out that the Steve Nash Youth Basketball League program is the most popular. Having the partnership with Basketball BC strengthens all the RYBL programs, he says, “and allows us to offer programs that the community wants.” While the Steve Nash Youth Basketball League caters to children in grades 4 to 7, RYBL offers programs for children aged five to 17 including Small Ball which is designed for kids in kindergarten to Grade 3 and focuses on developing fundamental movement skills in combination with basic basketball skills and strategies. Most recently, RYBL’s newly-created rep programs drew a large number of participants last spring and plans are afoot to enter four teams in various leagues this season including Basketball BC’s league fearing some of the top youth teams in the Lower Mainland. Tryouts begin this coming Wednesday (Sept. 11) at 6:30 p.m. at South Arm and Thursday (Sept. 12) at 5:30 p.m. at South Arm for: •Small Ball (kindergarten and Grade 1; grades 2 and 3) •Steve Nash (grades 4 and 5; grades 6 and 7) •Jump Ball (grades 4 and 5; grades 6 and 7; grades 8 and 9) •RYBL Rep (under-13 boys, under-12 boys and two under-13 girls’ teams) The newest program is Jump Basketball for grades 4 and 5, 6 and 7, 8 and 9 and 10-12. It focuses on combining physical fitness with the development of skills, strategies, and concepts necessary to succeed at each grade group. Jump basketball is designed as an high tempo, upbeat program to keep children active and learning through the game of basketball.

city-wide program was initially coordinated by youth leaders at each community centre and soon teams were formed and by 1998 a league formed. Today, as league co-ordinator, Matt Winograd oversees the organization which operates as a branch of the South Arm Community Association. Winograd, who has just started a teaching career in the district, is also one of RYBL’s graduates playing in 1998. At least two other main staffers and the majority of game officials, instructors and youth coaches also suited up in the league. RYBL’s success, says Winograd, is reflected in its mission statement of promoting self-esteem, friendship, co-operation and venues for community contribution and leadership for youth of all skills and ability. The focus is on fun and inclusion while promoting the principles of physical activity for life. Organizers also pride themselves on helping youth develop basketball skills, strategies and concepts to help them take their games to a higher level. Additionally, a rep program focusing on progressing one’s game from basic to advanced is being reintroduced. “Kids also want to be involved in basketball due to the many courts around Richmond, many community centre programs, and the attraction to the NBA, university basketball and tournaments like Dolphin and Summer Slam,” suggests Winograd. We’re attentive to select qualified and passionate coaches. A lot of educators coach teams along with many secondary graduates and young adults heading into careers in education.” Looking at registration over the past few years,

Richmond residents Adriel Tam, 22, and Jessica Han, 18, were crowned the “boy champion” and the “girl champion” at the Sunshine Nation pageant. The pageant was co-organized by Fairchild Radio and Comic Productions / Meteor Garden Production. It was open to Chinese-speaking people between the ages of 16 and 25. Pictured from left: Eva Shen, winner of Best Talent Award; Adriel Tam, Boy Champion; Jessica Han, Girl Champion; Jeffrey Leung, winner of People’s Choice Award.
