Jail sentence hailed as victory for domestic workers

Man who kept nanny against her will sentenced to 18 months in jail by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The man convicted of keeping a Filipino nanny against her will at the family’s Richmond home in 2008 and 2009 has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. Franco Yiu Kwan Orr was found guilty last June by a B.C. Supreme Court jury, which acquitted his wife Oi Ling Nicole Huen. This week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice R.B.T. Goepel delivered the sentence, and said in his written ruling that he took into account Orr’s past good character and lack of a criminal record. This week’s sentencing was hailed as a victory for the rights of domestic workers. Ai Li Lim, staff lawyer and executive director of West Coast Domestic Workers’ Association, said Thursday afternoon that the message from the justice system is clear: “You will be punished if proven through a court of law that you have trafficked a person. You can’t do it in impunity.” Added Lim: “Certainly it’s a vindication of the bravery of this caregiver to come and report and be able to tell her story publicly. And it is also a vindication of the criminal justice process in terms of starting to address labour trafficking issues.” Lim said Canada’s management of the labour trafficking issue is in its relative infancy, but the court victory shows a lot of progress has been made.

‘No question’ Walmart bid is ready for a public hearing, says mayor Residents urge council to reject plan, citing a ‘systemic favouring of developers’

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter In an 8-1 vote Tuesday, city council advanced a SmartCentres bid to build a Walmart-anchored shopping mall along Alderbridge Way that would rival the size of Aberdeen Centre.

A handful of opponents urged council to reject the rezoning application because of the mall’s size, appearance and that some of the land was once considered environmentally sensitive. Having cleared the hurdle of first reading, the proposal

is now scheduled to go to a public hearing Nov. 18. “Is this good enough to go the public and (let) the public have their say? To me there’s simply no question. It certainly meets that standard,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. See Page 3

Viewscape would be devastated From Page 1 The mayor noted SmartCentre’s project was part of the discussion that led to the 2006 West Cambie Area Plan, which maps out a retail mall at the southwest corner of Alderbridge Way and Garden City Road. Proposed is an open-air mall with 359,090 square feet of space whose parkade rises to four storeys, but Brodie said the developer could have made it bigger under city guidelines. “In the hands of a different applicant…they could go to a far greater height and mass and density than what is being proposed.” Richmond resident Jim Wright has closely followed SmartCentre’s proposal. He told council the mall’s southern appearance would “devastate” views from the Garden City lands and contrasts with the north side, where SmartCentres refined its plans at the urging of neighbouring landholder Polygon. “Citizens of that area deserve at least as much love from the City of Richmond as Polygon,” he said. “In my view the city has had systemic favouring of developers for so long that I felt a need to point it out in this crucial decision with the future of Richmond hanging in the balance.” But Coun. Linda McPhail noted the proponent has revised its landscaping plan and further refinements can still be made. “I believe there are still some improvements that can still be accomplished, but I think that can be done at the development application process.” McPhail also said residents in the area are in need of shops and services, especially given the neighbourhood’s rapid growth. “As the West Cambie area fills out, the need for such retail services will only continue to grow,” she said. Coun. Harold Steves, however, argued the mall, particularly its main tenant Walmart, is just too big for an area with no direct transit connections. He said he supported a staff referral a decade ago, assuming the proposal would come back smaller, but “the exact opposite” happened. “I’m more opposed to it now than I was 10 years ago,” said Steves, the lone councillor to vote no. SmartCentres has designed its proposed Richmond Walmart as a two-level 161,888-square-foot store, unlike some of its large-footprint big-box style locations. Richmond council has demanded a “compact” and “urban” design with street-fronting retail. Community activist Carol Day urged the city to demand SmartCentres scale down its store to just 40,000 square feet—about the size of its Walmart Market stores in the United States. She said bigbox stores draw shoppers outside the city and should be located “off the beaten track,” not in new communities like West Cambie “that are struggling to find their special identity.” Coun. Bill McNulty, who chairs council’s planning committee that oversaw numerous referrals to staff, said the mall will bring investment, employment and a boost to the city’s tax base. He noted SmartCentres has offered concessions that include fully funding a connector road to serve the area. “We’ve been as thorough as we can. I think taking it to the public is the right way to go.” After hearing from delegations at the public hearing, city council is expected to vote on second and third readings of the SmartCentres rezoning bylaw. Fourth and final reading would follow at a later date. Dubbed Central at Garden City, the mall would boast up to 50 stores, including a Walmart, London Drugs, The Keg, Bed Bath & Beyond and Marshalls. According to SmartCentres, its development will boost the city’s commercial property tax revenues by $2.5 million and create 975 new permanent jobs by mall businesses—in addition to hundreds of construction jobs.

Darrell Barr photo Snow geese are making their way back to RIchmond by the thousands, feeding on everything from tidal marshes to school fields.

Snow geese arriving en masse Hunting season is now open, but largely restricted in Richmond by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Legions of snow geese are returning to local marshlands, farm fields and parks, and Richmond is preparing to mount its annual fowl assault. “The geese are back and continue to be an issue,” said Ted Townsend, city spokesperson. In Richmond, the birds traditionally feed on intertidal marsh plants, but in recent years they’ve moved inland, feeding on

farmers’ fields, parks, school fields and even residential backyards—leaving a muddy, goose-poop mess behind. Each fall, up to 100,000 of the white birds fly 4,000 kilometres to the Fraser River delta to escape their frigid winter home in Wrangel Island, Russia. By year’s end, many of the birds head farther south to the Skagit delta before returning here in the spring en route to their Russian home. “We’re continuing with the plan that we’ve had in place for snow geese management, which was tweaked a bit last year primarily with the introduction of the volunteer program,” said Townsend. That plan, he said, recognizes the value of snow geese to local ecology while addressing the nuisance created by the “continued seasonal overpopulation.” Dogs are key to the plan. The city recently

wrapped up a call for canine hazing services, which will be deployed in goose-blanketed parks to scare the birds away. Volunteer dog handlers will also again be called on to help move geese off school fields. The city will also continue to offer farmers cash to grow winter cover crops that attract the geese and keep them away from unwanted sites. Wildlife education in local schools will also continue. Senior government officials consider hunting a method of controlling the goose population, but in Richmond hunting is restricted to agricultural areas in south and east Richmond—and only with permission from the landowner. Goose hunting season in Richmond opened Oct. 12 and runs to Jan. 5, 2014, reopening Feb. 20 to March 10, according to Environment Canada.

TransLink’s new Compass cards will be vulnerable to a new form of cheating but officials think it will be rare and say the transit system will still be policed to root out those who board without paying the right fare. The new payment system rolling out over the next several months charges a default three zones when a passenger taps in to board and reduces the fare charged to one or two zones if they tap out after travelling the lesser distance. Fare evaders who board a bus could tap out using the reader at the exit door without disembarking and pay just one zone while continuing to ride further for free. But TransLink vicepresident Mike Madill said the loophole to underpay on buses isn’t one cheaters can exploit anywhere. Eighty per cent of the 250 bus routes run within the same zone anyway, so it will only be an issue on the other 50 routes that cross zone boundaries. Madill said SkyTrain passengers who try the same thing won’t be able to get out through the gates later without tapping out again. And the system will detect the second tap out and charge the user two or three zones accordingly.

Staff Reporter Meetings, workshops and receptions for up to 30 people lie ahead for Richmond’s historic Branscombe House, according to a new report. On Tuesday, city council received an information report on possible future uses of the 1905 Railway Avenue house, as a full restoration of the exterior and first floor near completion. The first floor will likely become a rentable space for the public, according to the report from Jane Fernyhough, director of arts, culture and heritage services. Plans for upstairs call for a living suite that could be used by a caretaker or artist-in-residence. Two accessible wash-

rooms have been added to the main floor, along with another public washroom that is accessible from the outside. It’s not clear when the space will become available to the public. The house, at Steveston Highway, lies on the new Railway Greenway—a linear park with a paved path. Parks staff are now

drafting a design for the area surrounding the house, the report says. Funding for the restoration came in part from a 2012 agreement with “local business people.” City council could be asked to ante up more cash in the 2014 capital budget to finish the upper floor and install a kitchen on

the lower floor. City councillors Tuesday said they like what they see. Coun. Linda McPhail called the house Richmond’s “grand old lady” with an exciting future. Added Coun. Derek Dang: “I think it’s an investment that’s most worthwhile and clearly will be a success.”

Council Update Residents get behind new recycling programs By Linda McPhail Richmond residents are now recycling more than ever. In the first two months of the Linda McPhail Councillor new Green Cart and Large Item Pick Up programs, singlefamily homes surpassed their past recycling records with 68 per cent of waste being recycled – just two per cent shy of the City’s goal to reach 70 per cent by 2015 and up by about seven per cent from last summer. During the summer period, a busy season for yard trimmings, over 3,700 tonnes of yard trimmings and food scraps were recycled and will be used to create compost. Before the Green Cart and earlier Green Can service were offered, yard trimmings and food scraps went into the garbage, that’s 10,000 tonnes a year, straight to the landfills rather than being recycled. With fall now upon us, don’t forget that the new Green Carts should be used to recycle all those leaves and other garden and flowerbed organics, keeping that material out of the landfill or from clogging stormwater drains. The next step with the Green Cart program involves testing

Justice Goepel wrote: “While the Crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Ms. Sarmiento was subjected to humiliating or degrading treatment, she was nonetheless the victim of these offences. She came to Canada at the behest of the Orrs, She was misled as

to her working conditions, salary and her opportunity to stay permanently in Canada.

It was only after she made her 911 call that she found the assistance she required.” Sarmiento, a mother of three, left the Philippines in 2000 to work as a caregiver in order to support her children.

As well, the City is working with a number of commercial and mixed-use properties to explore recycling and garbage service options for cost-effective service. The current Green Cart program is provided to residents in singlefamily homes and town homes with City garbage and/or Blue Box service. The City continues to expand the types of products and materials that can be recycled at the Richmond Recycling Depot. New items that will be accepted at the Depot this fall are Styrofoam, cellular phones, batteries and used books. All these programs support Richmond’s goal to be a Recycling Smart City and the region’s strategy to reduce waste going to landfill to help reduce costs and create more sustainable systems for waste management. Hats off to local residents for strongly supporting these new programs. Richmond delivers an annual progress report each year to provide an overview of garbage, recycling services and diversion rates along with a convenient guide with tips and resources for recycling, take back programs and dealing with hazardous waste.

She then was hired by the Orr family in Hong Kong to take care of their children and paid the equivalent of $500 per month plus room and board. In late 2007 or early 2008 she was told the Orr family was moving to Canada and was invited to come with them. She would work eight hours per day and would be paid as required by Canadian law.

Once she was in Canada for two years, Orr told her he would assist her in becoming a permanent resident of Canada. The jury heard that while Sarmiento was told another domestic worker would be hired to do the house chores, this didn’t happen. And rather than being paid Canadian wages, her salary remained at $500 per month, which was increased to $700 per month in late 2009. Though Orr intended to remain in Canada, he claimed to immigration officials that he was only going to be visiting for six months and that he would be bringing the family’s nanny with them. Orr successfully applied for a six-month temporary resident visa on Sarmiento’s behalf. After that expired, he applied for an extension, which was denied, and she was asked to leave Canada immediately in June of 2009. But Sarmiento remained employed by the Orrs through June 2010, leaving only after a quarrel with Orr’s wife, after which Sarmiento called 911 and the police attended and removed Sarmiento from the home. The family had moved to Vancouver by that point. While Sarmiento claimed she worked for 22 months under humiliating and degrading conditions, that her passport was kept from her, that she was only allowed to call home to the Philippines once per month, and that she was forced to work 16 hours per day, seven days per week, Justice Geopel found inconsistencies in her evidence based on other evidence and court testimony. “Given the totality of the evidence and the frailty of Ms. Sarmiento’s recollections, I find that the Crown has not proven beyond a reasonable doubt the aggravating factors it alleges. I cannot find beyond a reasonable doubt that Ms. Sarmiento was treated a virtual slave.” Orr was also convicted of employing a foreign national “in a capacity to which the foreign national was not authorized under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act,” and of misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter that induced or could induce an error in the administration of the act. The Crown had sought a sentence of between five and six years, while the defence sought a conditional sentence.

New steps urged to curb problem gambling

Best Picks of the Patch

Limit access to booze, cash, high-risk slot machines: report by Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C. does too little to fight problem gambling and should consider new steps, from making it harder to get alcohol and cash in casinos to removing the most addictive high-risk slot machines. Those recommendations come from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall, who tackled the health impacts of gambling Wednesday with the release of his annual report titled “Lower the Stakes.” Chief among the findings is that B.C. underspends other provinces in prevention and treatment for problem gambling – it invests about half the national average on a per capita basis. Liquor access is one area of risk the province could tighten, Kendall said, perhaps through reduced hours of alcohol service at casinos or by raising drink prices. He said gambling delivers endorphins that stimulate pleasure centres of the brain. “If you also have alcohol and add that to the mix and you’ve got an ATM there with an unlimited cash amount, you’ve definitely got a scenario where people are going to behave less and less responsibly.” Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea advanced in the report. It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gaming machines – the slots designed by manufacturers to generate the most compulsive behaviour. Kendall suggested they be replaced with lower risk models and urged the province to post the risk rating on each machine so gamblers could choose a lower risk option. Gerald Thomas of the Centre for Addictions Research, a co-author of the report, said the province has high, me-

dium and low risk ratings for all of the slot machines in B.C. casinos and should disclose how many it has of each. Kendall noted government is in a conflict of interest because it relies heavily on gambling profits but is also responsible for protecting vulnerable citizens. “This is a public health issue,” he said, adding the time may be right for a “fulsome discussion on the benefits and the risks” of gambling in light of rejections of new casinos over the past two years by Surrey and Vancouver. Any new decisions to expand gambling should come with an assessment of the risk to problem

gamblers and be contingent on reducing the overall share of revenue extracted from them, the report recommends. There’s been no detailed study of problem gambling in B.C. in several years but new research is slated for next year. According to 2007 statistics, 3.7 per cent of B.C. residents are at “moderate risk” and 0.9 per cent are classified as problem gamblers. Kendall noted the two groups account for 26 per cent of total gambling revenue despite making up less than five per cent of the population. There are 160,000 gamblers in the two risky groups but only 4,000

calls per year to a problem gambling helpline, suggesting the number of people who could be helped is “much higher.” Kendall argues the B.C. Lottery Corp. could do more to identify problem gamblers – possibly using data on their gambling gathered through a loyalty card program – and then dispatching staff to attempt treatment interventions. The report calls on the province to devote at least 1.5 per cent of gambling revenue to problem gambling initiatives, tripling the current outlay. It also urges school classes to warn children of the dangers of gambling, focusing on students in grades 10 to 12. Provincial gambling revenue per capita climbed 56 per cent over the last decade from $353 per person in 2002 to $552 by 2011. The $2.1-billion a year industry delivers nearly $900 million in net profits to government. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province this year increased its Responsible Gambling program budget by 30 per cent.

Casino’s good can’t mask bad

iver Rock Casino Resort has done a lot of good for Richmond.

The beautiful hotel and gambling facility that overlooks the north arm of the Fraser River is a top-calibre destination that has brought hundreds of jobs to the city, injected untold millions of dollars directly and indirectly into the local economy each year, and has certainly brought great entertainment to our shores. Then there’s the great spirit of community participation, with River Rock offering its facilities for fundraisers, and sponsoring events. A record $15.5 million was handed over to the City of Richmond in 2012, the city’s 10-per-cent cut of the annual profit from the facility. All told, since 1999, River Rock is credited with adding $115 million to municipal coffers, certainly nothing to sneeze at. But then there’s the less lustrous side of the coin, one that’s often overlooked if not ignored altogether. All that profit has to come from somewhere, and all too often, it comes from those who really can’t afford it. There are those who become addicted gamblers, and unwisely try to chase their losses, losing more than just money in the

process. Families are destroyed, lives are taken, leaving scars that never heal. This week, the provincial health officer critiqued B.C. for doing far too little to address the problem addicted gamblers. In his report, titled “Lower the Stakes”, he noted that B.C. invests about half of the national

average on a per-capita basis. He noted governement is in a conflict-of-interest position because not only does it rely heavily on the gambling profits, but is also responsible for protecting B.C.’s most vulnerable citizens. Indeed, Richmond has seen the dark side of gambling. People who have stolen

hundreds of thousands of dollars from their employers to pay off their debts to loan sharks. Suicides, kidnappings and even murders have made local headlines far too often. Kendall’s report calls on the province to spend trip what it currently does on problem gambling initiatives. It urges schools to warn

children of the dangers of gambling, and focusing on students in Grades 10 to 12. B.C. has become addicted to the revenue from gaming, a habit that it’s in no hurry to kick. Now it’s up to them to minimize the harm to residents, something they’ve done a shamefully poor job of to this point.

Life Lessons Andrea Phillpotts

ow, Richmond is not generally known for its stellar drivers.

Understatement. We’ve all heard the whinging about how bad so many of us Richmondites are at maneuvering our motor vehicles according to the Province’s Motor Vehicles Act. Still, even knowing this, I was baffled the other day at the flaunting ignorance of one of the most important and easiest rules to follow: yielding to an emergency vehicle. The mandate goes that drivers must slow down and pull over when faced with an emergency vehicle coming in either direction on the road. These vehicles include fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances alike. Note that even if the vehicle is going in the

other direction, drivers are still supposed to pull over. If you’re passing an emergency vehicle on the side of the road, you are to slow down and move into the other lane. Makes sense, right? Apparently, according to the driver I saw buzzing down Steveston Highway in front of an emergency vehicle, there are still people who believe that an emergency vehicle’s sirens and flashing lights are just a way of clearing the road so some idiot can outrace the emergency vehicle and get to his destination without the hassle of other cars in his way. Wow. Considering that this selfish and danger-

ous vehicle is putting the emergency vehicle in jeopardy through reckless driving is one thing; if you contemplate the obstruction of the emergency worker’s visit, it’s downright appalling. At the end of an emergency vehicle’s drive is a grandmother with a heart attack, a family in a car accident, or a mother at home with a burglar in the house. At the end of their urgent trip is a school on fire, a car in the ditch, or a little boy in anaphylactic shock. Yes, we drivers may push the speed limit a few kilometres an hour or race a yellow light now and then and while this is serious, it is not nearly as dramatic a violation as

blowing away emergency vehicle protocol. Please, when you see those lights and sirens coming, pull over safely to the side of the road. If the $109 and three points don’t deter you, imagine the people you may be endangering at the other end, those really in need. Slow down, move over. It’s easy to remember. Do it.

letters Mega-mall does not belong in the centre of Richmond Editor: What does a complete and balanced community look like? Look no further than Terra Nova or Seafair. Interestingly, they are both on Richmond’s tony west side. In Terra Nova there is a mediumsized grocery store, small restaurants and services such as a credit union, insurance agency and a vet. This mall is walkable from a variety of housing types, from high-end single-family homes to retirement townhouses and condos. Parks, wilderness areas, and school grounds are close by and provide opportunities for residents

to stroll on safe sidewalks or bike on a myriad of trails. The roads are gently curved to slow and calm traffic and bus stops are nearby. Compare this to the proposed Walmart Smart Centres development in the Alexandra neighbourhood. Need food? Drive to Walmart! Want a bank? Credit can be arranged at Walmart! How about a family style restaurant? Fast food at Walmart for you dining pleasure! Invite your in-laws to stay in Richmond, but not in a hotel– in Walmart’s parking lot – for free! Sure, there are choices, as long as it’s Walmart. But

this is not the picture of a “complete and balanced community.” Now compare the road systems and adherence to Richmond’s Official Community Plan. The OCP is supposed to encourage the development of walkable, bikeable and transit-friendly neighbourhoods, as we see in Terra Nova. So it is interesting to see that Walmart Smart Centres has made a “big concession” to the City by agreeing to finance a High Way, a horizontal slash east to west through the newly built condo and townhouse developments. Hmmm, gently curving

roads for Terra Nova but a highway for out-oftowners for Alexandra residents? It appears to me that the city considers Alexandra residents less important than other residents, so it is all right to dump big-box stores in their backyards. If people really need to shop at Walmart, they can drive to the outskirts of cities next door—to Vancouver or Queensborough. This mega-mall does not belong in the centre of Richmond. If it goes ahead as is, City Councillors will have agreed to the worst deal since their bright idea

Stop messing with our food Editor: I’m getting really quite peeved with all of the PR nonsense that comes from CropLife Canada, which is just a mouthpiece for Monsanto, et al. People who sit in offices not getting their boots muddy know nothing about farming or farming issues! Once you’ve spent your last penny on fixing your tractor, even if it means you’re going to be living off of ramen noodles all winter

and not be able afford to heat your house, do you get that right. Crop yields are proportionate to how much effort and thought you put into your crop, that is why the Chinese outyield us on a per acre basis for almost every crop; their farms compared to North American ones are quite small and are thus run properly. Also, Health Canada said that DDT, Hexachlorobenzene, and

Aldrin were A-OK not all too long ago, too. Later they realized these were pretty scary chemicals that cause a host of horrible problems. Hiding behind their blessing really ain’t saying much. The people have spoken, and by and large they request that the interests that funds CropLife stop screwing with our food. Miles Smart Cherry Lane Farm Richmond

Orchestra’s local players prompt name change Longtime Delta Youth Orchestra adds Richmond to title by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

youth orchestra with a long history in Richmond—except in name— has rebranded itself.

The Delta Youth Orchestra is now the Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra, reflecting its local community involvement and the hometown of most of its musicians. “In the old days, the second source of students would come to us from Richmond, but it’s become our primary source,” said Stephen Robb, the orchestra’s music director. Today, up to 70 per cent of the orchestra’s 102 musicians hail from Richmond, a shift away from Delta that Robb has noted in the last 10 to 15 years. “It’s a huge change,” he said. “It has to do with demographics.” Formed in 1971, the Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra provides orchestral training for musicians ages five to 25. Apart from Richmond and Delta, the orchestra also draws students from other cities throughout Metro Vancouver. Its ensembles include a full symphony orchestra, intermezzi strings, wind ensemble, junior strings and capriccio strings for the youngest of its players. Rehearsals take place in Ladner, but many performances throughout the year are held in Richmond. Recent local venues include Richmond Maritime Festival, IKEA (a day before the strike) and a local mall. Robb said the name change reflects the orchestra’s desire to connect more with the Richmond community. “That’s where our future is going to be,” he said. “If we want to continue to grow the orchestra and reach out to the community, it’s Richmond that we’re going to be reaching out more to as our numbers continue to grow.”

There are few orchestral opportunities for Richmond students within the city’s borders, as Robb noted the Richmond Youth Orchestra ceased to exist two years ago. The Richmond Music School, however, announced this fall it was working on forming two low-cost community string orchestras for children and youth. Players in the Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra meantime are preparing for their next show, “All that Jazz” Nov. 16. It’s the orchestra’s 18th annual Classical Cabaret, and will feature Vancouver’s own Van Django. Visit rdyo.ca for more information.

Other improvements have come from the medical teams themselves. I would like to introduce to you Claude Stang, who is the director of Critical Care, Emergency, Medicine Services and Patient Flow. He shares with us that the Emergency Department recently introduced an initiative to improve care. The name of the initiative is quite apt: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always Here.â&#x20AC;? Claude is a registered nurse with 20 years of experience in emergency, critical care, nursing education and

ave you ever had to go the Emergency Department at Richmond Hospital? For most, if not all patients and family members, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often an anxious experience filled with uncertainty. And depending on the severity of other cases requiring care, waiting to be seen can compound those feelings. While a visit to Emergency may be difficult, we all know how important and reassuring it is to all of us to have an Emergency Department right here so close to home. Richmond Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Department currently experiences nearly 50,000 patient visits per year. For many, our Emergency

now stands at around 92%. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have achieved a lot in terms of wait timesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cut by half, in fact, all at a time when we are seeing a higher number of visits per dayâ&#x20AC;? he says. And while the team is expecting a busy winter ahead, he notes the Emergency Department makes it a priority to focus on the quality of care and the timeli-

to raise the bar and standard of care so the public sees us as the best community hospital around and one you would want to go when you need to,â&#x20AC;? says Stang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the main focal points for the Emergency Department has been involving the patient more in understanding their illness, in decision-making, and ensuring the visit is as positive as it possibly can be,â&#x20AC;? says Stang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For our staff, among other things, this means being aware of those events in the patient

visit that should always be present â&#x20AC;&#x201C; providing comfort, including the family, taking time to listen, to name a few. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to focus and continually refocus our efforts on the patient.â&#x20AC;? The initiative is already making an impact, Stang notes.

n the Thanksgiving weekend newspapers, there were reports of two appalling motor vehicle accidents, one on Vancouver Island, the other in Peru. From a â&#x20AC;&#x153;what went wrongâ&#x20AC;? standpoint, they invite a compare and contrast analysis. In a total of 10 column inches, the first, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nanaimo crash sends 5 to hospitalâ&#x20AC;? reports the serious injury of five teens in one car and one teen in the other. (It seems the headline should read â&#x20AC;&#x153;sends 6 to hospital.â&#x20AC;?) The second, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children among 51 dead as bus plunges off Peru cliff â&#x20AC;? reports the death of 51 Quechua Indians including, amongst their numbers, 14 children. Both crashes happened on Friday night to vehicles transporting groups home from a party. Both are newsworthy because of the number of victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the magnitude of the Peruvian crash has elevated the story to international newsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; but both stories in their respective settings are by no means unprecedented. The Yahoo news report of the Peruvian crash notes that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the high-altitude roads of the Peruvian Andes are notorious for bus plunges, with poor farmers comprising many of the victims. Last year, more than 4,000 people were killed in such accidents.â&#x20AC;? Other reports note that this crash â&#x20AC;&#x153;was the third such incident nationwide this month, all occurring in the southern Andean region of the country and killing a total of 80 people.â&#x20AC;? The contrasts of setting, of the vehicles involved, of the road conditions, of the emergency response and of the regulatory regimes surrounding each could hardly

be more dramatic. In Nanaimo, the crash occurred at Wellington and Bowen Road, a traffic light controlled, well-marked multi-laned intersection of paved arterial roads. While turning left on a green arrow onto Bowen Road, a Hyundai Accent driven by an 18-year-old with four teenaged passengers was hit by a Chrysler Intrepid driven by a 19-year-old Ontario man, who was, by some reports, speeding through the red light. Victims were immediately transported to the local Nanaimo hospital; the most seriously injured airlifted to Victoria General Hospital. At the time of writing, the police say charges involving impaired driving are pending against the Chrysler driver depending on the treatment outcomes. Both of the young drivers are reportedly in critical condition. In Peru, the crash occurred on a rural road southeast of Lima, the capital. The vehicle involved was a cargo truck described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;makeshift busâ&#x20AC;? returning from the provincial capital of Santa Teresa. The truck drove off the road over a cliff and plunged hundreds of metres into the river below. The report said â&#x20AC;&#x153;rescuers equipped with little more than flashlights spent the night searching the ravine for survivors amid the twisted steel and large boulders.â&#x20AC;? No survivors were found. Anyone thinking about an adventurous holiday in Peru may want to consider the following from the Association for Safe International Road Travel website page, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Road Realities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Driver Behaviors: â&#x20AC;˘ Many drivers do not obey traffic laws. â&#x20AC;˘ Drivers often ignore the DWI laws; alcohol is a contributing factor in many road crashes. â&#x20AC;˘ Many drivers lack adequate driving training. â&#x20AC;˘ Most people regard road crashes as inevitable. â&#x20AC;˘ Drivers usually ignore the few traffic signals that exist. â&#x20AC;˘ Both bus and truck drivers tend to driver at excessive speeds. â&#x20AC;Śby Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

ext Monday (Oct. 21), fans of Pink will flock to Rogers Arena for a sold-out show that features some made-inRichmond flair. Richmond-raised Cole Walliser directed videos that are being played during the pop superstar’s the Truth About Love world tour. That’s no easy feat for a director. Pink is one of the hottest touring musical acts in the world, known

for her high-energy shows and stunning stage production—never mind the fact she’s one of the most successful artists of her generation. Walliser, 32, is a Hugh McRoberts grad and self-taught director and producer who has already built up an impressive resume of music videos. Now based in Los Angeles, Walliser recently formed his own production company, Steveston Films. Besides his work for Pink’s tour, Walliser also recently directed a halfhour documentary of Pink’s life. It’s set to air on the American TV network Epix and will also be released on her concert tour DVD in January. As the story goes, Walliser started filming skateboarders as a young teenager. People liked his work, which progressed to music videos. He moved to L.A. and started shooting videos for professional dancers at no charge. Then came his big break. A dancer returned the favour and asked Walliser to be a part of some

dance videos for Miley Cyrus. One thing led to another and in 2009 he met Pink’s management team. He’s since directed videos for numerous artists, including Katy Perry for her California Dreams world tour. 1. Where did you learn to be a director? “I am self taught. I learned while I was getting my bachelor’s degree at UBC for psychology. I’d do as little as I needed to do to get decent grades and went out and made films in my spare time.” 2. As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? “Either a professional skateboarder or filmmaker. My obsession with making films started pretty young.” 3. What do you like best about living in L.A.? “The weather and the groups of creative and talented people that flock here. “ 4. What do you miss about Steveston? “Fish and chips! Everywhere in the States has horrible fish and chips.” 5. Biggest misconception about music stars?

Pets for those with allergies

Q A

: What are good pets for people with allergies to

own?

: People with allergies must learn to make certain concessions.

This typically includes avoiding those things, including animals, that can trigger an allergic reaction. Individuals who tear up or start to sneeze around animals may wonder if there are any animals that won't trigger such reactions. Despite information to the contrary, there really are no such things as hypoallergenic dogs and other pets. That’s because many animal allergies result from pet dander, which are the skin flakes from an animal’s fur or hair, and not the fur of the pet. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, people with pet allergies have supersensitive immune systems that react to harmless proteins in the pet’s dander. Some people are allergic to saliva from dogs and cats, or may have allergies to the sebum, or oils, in their skin. Although there are no guarantees that pets won't trigger allergic reactions, certain animals could be a bit more friendly to those who are generally intolerant to animals. Dogs •Pets for those with allergiesThis breed is active and has a coat that requires frequent grooming. The grooming process helps to wash away dander and oils that may contribute to allergies. •Kerry blue terrier: This fun-loving, active dog is thought to be low-allergy because it sheds less dander than some other breeds. It has a soft, wavy coat that fades from black to a blue-gray color as

the dog ages. •Standard poodle: This intelligent breed has a long hair growth cycle, which minimizes shedding. The dog lacks an undercoat, which also can alleviate extra shedding of dander-laden fur. Furthermore, poodles require professional grooming and frequent maintenance, which can keep allergen levels low. •Bichon frise: Much like the poodle, the Bichon Frise is less likely to trigger allergies because its short, curled coat makes it difficult for dander to escape. •Lhasa apso: This

small breed does not shed its coat and requires frequent bathing to remain clean. The combination of these factors can reduce allergen potential. •Poodle mixes: Many breeds are being bred with poodles to create a coat that is more conducive to allergy sufferers. Poodles mixed with cocker spaniels or labradors may shed less fur and dander. Cats •Sphynx cat: This animal is furless and could be better for allergy sufferers because it will not

shed allergen-laden throughout the house. Still, it's important to note that many cat allergies are the result of the Fel D 1 glycoprotein, which is present in skin secretions and cat saliva. There's no certainty that the hairless Sphynx still won't trigger a reaction. •Devon rex cat: This breed of cat has a short, downy fur coat. Because it has less fur than other felines, the Devon rex cat does not need to lick itself as frequently to groom its fur. This cuts down on saliva-based allergens being deposited onto the cat's fur. •Balinese: Although

this cat has long fur, it may be good for allergy sufferers because it produces less of the

Fel D 1 protein than other cats. •Siberian: Perhaps due to lower enzyme

levels in their saliva, Siberian cats may produce minimal reactions among allergy suffers.

Gateway Theatre is inviting all knitters and friends to participate in its Knit & Pledge fundraiser. Participants, either individuals or teams, are asked to create a 12-by-12 inch knitted square and gather a minimum pledge of $20. Squares will be turned into beautiful blankets for local charities. Money pledged will offset various Gateway program costs, including Gateway Academy classes and costumes, Studio Series props and MainStage actors. You don’t have to knit to support the theatre. Donations can be made online, and pledge forms can be downloaded from gatewaytheatre.com. Pledges of more than $10 receive a tax receipt. Group knitting sessions will be held at Lansdowne Centre mall Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from Oct. 30 to Nov. 29. Participants can start bringing squares and pledges to Gateway Theatre on Oct. 28. Nov. 27 is the delivery deadline for squares, pledge forms and donations. Then on Nov. 29, a blanket creation day and VIP sewing bee will be staged. Participants raising a minimum of $100 will receive one ticket to ‘Art’—on the MainStage in February 2014—and those raising $200 will receive two tickets. Prizes will also be awarded to the top fundraiser (individual) and top team.

Indian singer celebrated Sunday

An evening of fun, music and dancing is promised during a tribute to Indian entertainer Kishore Kumar at River Rock Show Theatre Sunday.

Together with his younger brother Sumeet, the pair will bring their father’s classic songs to life. Showtime is 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 20.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The University of Victoria Vikes are in the throws of putting the final touches on a preseason exhibition tilt with the Vancouver Whitecaps next fall in the capital city. It’s a match that could be the break at least a few of the Vikes have been hoping for—among them Richmond youth product Cameron Stokes. “I always knew he could play at the university level, but he’s opened a lot of eyes here this year,” said Vikes’ head coach Bruce Wilson. That’s high praise coming from an individual as respected as Wilson, whose resume includes captaining Canada’s lone World Cup appearance in 1986 and six all-star nods in the old North American Soccer League. “I watched him play a number of times, even before he indicated his interest in coming to Victoria, and was always impressed every time,” said Wilson.

Wilson likes a lot about Stokes, including that “he has a good head on his shoulders and came fit and ready to go” this season, his second at the University of Victoria after two seasons with the Langara Falcons. But the fact he’s scored seven goals in eight games (second best in the Canada West Conference of the Canadian Interuniversity Sports men’s soccer league) has others taking notice too. “He’s been absolutely our best player this year,” said Wilson, who moved him from a wide position to a sort of tracking midfielder. “He’s very good in the air, fast and skillful on the ball and immediately gravitated to it.” Stokes, 21, is enjoying the moment

but determined to keep his feet firmly planted. “Scoring goals is what I’m supposed to do in my position, but this run certainly gives me a bunch of confidence,” he said. “Being surrounded by talent I’m playing with also makes it a lot easier.” Already twice this season honoured as Canada West player of the week, Stokes notes he played centre-midfield in both of his seasons at Langara. And when his younger brother Mitchell, now at Langara, scored in one of his first couple of games this year he was quick to let Cameron know about it. Besides being part of a talented team that is currently ranked 10th in the nation, Stokes also credits the influence of Wilson for his growing

success. “He’s awesome and definitely knows what he’s talking about,” Stokes said. “And as one of the most decorated players in Canadian soccer history you want to listen to what he has to say.” Stokes also has high marks for his former youth coaches, a list that includes Doug Long, Mike Quinn and John Gattens. Another former coach, albeit only for a season, is reserved for his dad Andy who along with him mom seldom miss one of his games—home or away. “It’s very comforting knowing they’re in the stands and it motivates me that much more,” he said. “And if I’m not doing so well, I’ll look over and see my dad and think ‘lift your chin up and keep playing.’”

What new coin or stamp catalogs have come out recently?

As you probably know, fall is when all the new catalogs arrive. The complete set of coin catalogs has now been issued and is available in our store. Starting with the Charlton Coin Guide: this guide is what we recommend to people who have accumulated or inherited Canadian and American coins and want to get an idea of what their values might be. The guide lists values for coins from the penny up to dollar for Canada and USA, as well as paper money and mint product for Canada. It is very reasonably priced at $9.95. Next is the Charlton Coin Catalog. This catalog is the most comprehensive catalog on Canadian coins and has been issued since 1952. It has all major varieties and most minor varieties listed. There is pricing for six grades of circulated coins and four grades of uncirculated coins. It is priced at $24.95 and is worth every penny. Royal Canadian Mint product is the focus of this book. With 440 pages of full colour listings, every issue from the mint is listed and priced, first by denomination and then by year. All sets are also listed by type of set and then by year. The catalog has issues up to mid 2013 included. Since the Canadian mint has been issuing over 100 coins or sets each of the last few years, this catalog is a must to keep up with everything. It is priced at $34.95. The Charlton Canadian Paper Money Catalog is the final of the set. Also in full colour this catalog lists every government of Canada banknote from the 1700s to date. Have you ever wondered why we have $1 or $2 bills that look alike but priced differently? This book lists over 40 varieties of 1973 $1 bills and over 50 varieties of the 1986 $2 bill. It lists prices in five grades of circulated and up to three grades of uncirculated bills. This books is priced at $29.95. The new Unitrade Canada Specialized Stamp Catalog is due out before the end of the month. This catalog lists every stamp since 1851 and is what every dealer and collector uses. It is priced at $42.95. A reminder for Christmas: we carry permanent postage stamps that we sell below the face value of 63¢. We buy so many collections and these come in excess of our needs, so we sell them off at a great deal. A booklet of 10 is regular $6.30 but we charge $5.85. For 10 booklets ($63 FV) we charge $55. All these booklets are a few years old but are still the permanent stamps good for mailing.

Strata corporations are not required to fund any of the recommendations found within a depreciation report. They are also not required to fund their contingency reserve fund above the minimum previously required by the Strata Property Act.

Due to the time crunch of the new legislation and the looming deadline of Dec. 13, 2013, many Strata Corporations are deferring and approving a ¾ vote approval for Depreciation Report exemption while at the same time moving forward to order their Depreciation Report. There are 23,000 Strata Corporations in who will ultimately need to a Depreciation Report. With the short time line there are not enough service providers who are qualified under the Strata Property Act to carry out a depreciation report within this short time line. Deferring the Depreciation Report allows the service provider of the Depreciation Report and the Strata Council more time to carry out due diligence, more time to provide the qualified service provider with the appropriate documentation. The deferred date will give the service provider enough time to properly analyze the components of the Strata Corporation as well as to complete a full and proper financial analysis as per the Act. In conclusion, the exemption allows all parties time to commission and prepare a full and complete Depreciation Report which gives council time to consider all or part of the recommendation in the following year’s budget.

· Critical Illness Coverage: A critical illness can significantly increase your living expenses during a time when your income is limited. This coverage is useful to have as it pays out on diagnosis and survival of certain major illnesses or conditions, providing your family with financial assistance while you recuperate.

Q: Are employees at risk sharing their passwords? A:

How should our strata implement Depreciation Report recommendations? Must this be done by Dec. 13, 2013?

Ultimately, the strata council is responsible for implementing any recommendation before it. That includes the recommendations of a depreciation Report. Council may decide to implement none, some or all of the recommendations of the Depreciation Report.

In preparing for the birth of a new baby, parents may spend hours decorating the nursery and deciding on just the right name, but there are also many new financial responsibilities to consider. “Insurance – life, health, and disability – is one area that changes greatly once you have a baby,” notes Daniel Wang Ah-Fat with The Co-operators. “Once you become a family, you need to reassess your insurance arrangements to be sure they suit your new needs. Here are some guidelines for making sure that your family is properly covered.” · Life Insurance: Both parents should always carry enough life insurance to guarantee that either one of them could carry on financially in the event that something happened to the other.

Yes. Amuleta is an IT support company, a licensed IT security firm, and a licensed private investigative firm — and we rarely ask for employee passwords unless a very specific and unusual set of circumstances requires it. Why? Because it imposes a serious liability on those who know the passwords. That same liability exists for any employee or employer. For example, as part of an investigation we find an employee guilty of a criminal offence and it relates to evidence we find on a computer. As it’s not the computer that commits the crime but the person using it, we now have to prove the person was physically using the computer, and that computer account, at the time of the offence. If the account password was known, or shared, then two things may happen. One; those with knowledge of the password now become persons of interest and need to be investigated. Two; the case may end right there as the individuals guilt may now be impossible to prove beyond whatever level of doubt we need to attain. Both may involve a continued suspicion that could very well be career ending. Many companies have the horrible habit of keeping employee passwords on file, often stored on the network and visible to IT staff and/or any malware. Organized crime doesn’t care who’s account they steal and use — and it may cost you your job or your company’s very existence. Never share your password, never ask for a password, never store passwords on a computer or network. There are far better solutions.

the morning?

A: There is a wealth of research that links vertebral subluxations (misalignments of the spinal bones) in the neck with head pain. Chiropractors are the only ones trained to correct vertebral subluxations with safe and effective maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments. Pediatric patients will often receive special adjusting techniques that are very gentle to accommodate their developing spines. If your child suffers from head pain consider the toll this condition may be taking on his or her quality of life, school performance and future success. Rather than dealing with symptoms in isolation or masking them with drugs, chiropractors uncover the underlying root of the patient’s headaches and work to stop them at the source. Don’t let your child become a statistic and add to the estimated 10 million youngsters who suffer from chronic head pain. Determine the cause of child’s headaches by scheduling an appointment for a chiropractic evaluation.

There are a variety of reasons people get headaches. But if it seems you often wake up with a headache (and there was no wine involved last night) you likely were clenching and/or grinding your teeth in your sleep. Anywhere from 8-30% of people do it, often without being aware of it. If this is you, then your jaw muscles are overactive and produce enough lactic acid to affect the blood flow in your scalp, especially over the temples. This often results in headaches which, themselves, are a product of an uneven blood flow distribution (especially in the scalp). To test this out, put your hands on both sides of your face covering your temples as well as your jaw. Now clench your back teeth on and off. You should feel both the upper (temporalis) muscle bulge over the temples as well as the big muscle (masseter) over your jaw. If you’re a clencher/grinder (bruxer), those muscles are getting a heavy duty night time workout. If you have significant tooth wear as well (ask your dentist), you may need a bite orthotic or splint (aka nightguard). However, many people simply clench on their appliance with similar effects. For those people, as well as those with the headache problem but no tooth wear (clenchers vs. grinders), different orthotic appliances are used. Now, put your hands on both sides of your face, but instead of biting/clenching on and off on the back teeth, put only your front teeth together and squeeze. What you should feel is only the lower jaw muscles bulge. The temporalis muscle does not ‘switch on’ when you can only bite on the front teeth. It is also not comfortable to bite heavily on our front teeth. We’re programmed to only create heavy bite forces when the back teeth (molars) can touch. Night time bite appliances which only allow anterior teeth contact can greatly reduce bite forces and eliminate most of the temporalis muscle activity. This, in turn, can be an effective way to help reduce those morning headaches for many people (myself included).

do I properly maintain the Q: How bathroom, while preventing mildew

want to protect myself from getting sick this Q: Iyear. What vaccinations are available? A:

With kids back to school and flu season around the corner, there are indeed many ways to get sick this time of year. Like every year, the number one way to prevent yourself from getting the flu is by getting flu vaccinations. This year, seniors 65 and over, families with children 5 or under, and families with someone at high risk of complications of getting the flu are all eligible to receive the flu vaccine for free. Our pharmacy will have daily drop-in flu clinics starting October 21st, from the hours of 11am-7pm. If you are not eligible to receive the vaccine for free but still want to protect yourself from the flu, our pharmacy offers private flu vaccinations as well. The second vaccination I would look into is Pneumovax, a vaccine that protects seniors from developing pneumonia, a very serious chest infection. Seniors who have not received this vaccination in the last 5 years or since turning 65 are eligible to get this vaccine for free. Generally, this vaccination is given at the same time as the flu vaccine and is also offered at our pharmacy during our drop in vaccination hours. Third, if you are over the age of 55 and wish to protect yourself from Shingles, Zostavax is a vaccine that has been shown to decrease the risk of developing shingles to approximately 5% over the next 5 years. This vaccine is not covered by the government but may be covered by a third party insurance plan. This vaccine is not available at most medical clinics or other pharmacies as it requires storage under -15 degrees Celcius. Our pharmacy also offers this vaccination during our drop-in hours. To learn more about our drop-in vaccination clinics or natural alternatives to vaccinations, contact our pharmacists at 605-232-0159.

#1) Before showering, always run the fan. Keep it on for the entire shower & for ½ hour after. This helps remove moisture levels. #2) After showering, squeegee down the walls and shower door. Remove all wet items, like towels from the bathroom. #3) Look for, and completely remove older, loose caulking. Apply new caulk and grout, while sealing grout lines with grout sealant. Always use protective eye wear, a mask, gloves and keep the fan on while you work. #4) Clean the dust from your fan cover as needed. Your local hardware store can set you up with all of the tools and products for the job.

A: Your child’s first eye exam is usually a post-natal check at 1 year. They should then be re-examined every year before they start school by an optometrist. This will prevent any issues that could cause poor development in school. Only 60% of schools provide eye tests, however, these are not comprehensive exams. Short sight and large squints may be detected, but the school checks are not usually carried out by an eye care professional. If left undetected for too long, some sight defects cannot be corrected. So it is important that your child has annual visits with an optometrist. All child eye exams under the age of 18 are covered by MSP.

Starting an exercise program can be quite daunting if you have never worked out in a gym setting before. I would recommend working with a trainer or joining a beginners class where you can receive proper instruction and coaching with regards to technique and exercise intensity. It will be a slightly higher investment financially but you will be way better off in the long run. The hardest part is just getting started and once you establish a habit of a regular exercise routine you will start to look and feel a lot better. Don’t procrastinate any longer and find a trainer or a class to kick start your new healthy lifestyle. Yours in health, Isaac Payne

Ask the Experts Q:

Q: Why do I need to have insurance on my home and belongings? A:

Our business has a monitored security system, who should attend alarm call-outs?

With the Lower Mainland growing in size, many companies find their alarm emergency contacts living great distances away from their business, making it impractical and costly for staff to attend an alarm call-out. Companies are also noticing the danger of asking staff to attend an alarm call-out in the middle of the evening. Many companies choose to hire a security company to respond to their security alarms rather then place their employees in danger. Mobile patrol & alarm response security staff are trained to deal with security incidents; they will investigate the cause of the alarm and contact the Richmond RCMP if there are any signs of forced entry or suspicious activity. If the property is insecure they will stand-by on-site until contractors can be arranged to fix the damage (e.g. glass, locks, doors, etc.) or until the property owner attends the site. In some municipalities in the Lower Mainland, property owners can only use a monitored security system; a city alarm permit may be necessary before the Police will attend to a security alarm. Each time there is a response the fee will go up; in some cases the Police may not attend if there are too many false alarms. In Richmond, the RCMP will attend property alarms; There are factors limiting Police response; such as attending more serious crimes, the number of call-outs they receive to a specific property and how many of those calls are false. Property owners could receive invoices for Police response through the City of Richmond By-Laws.

In my business, I hear all too often that clients don’t have home insurance — and each time I hear it I cringe. If you have ever been through a claim, you will understand the relief when you hear that your losses due to fire, theft or accident are covered by your home insurance. I have just experienced my first claim in nearly 30 years, a flood during my renovation and another flood (same day) by a brand new dishwasher. I can’t imagine going through the last two months without that support and peace of mind. This is not a plug for insurance brokers, this is a plea to check your options, pick a plan that works for you and your budget, and get your property covered by a good insurance plan. It may cover things like: water and fire damage, theft, accidents that happen on your property, damage caused by a faulty appliance, or even the replacement of your home. Whether you are a tenant or a home-owner, or a home-owner with a tenant, living without insurance is risking everything that you own. If you do not have insurance, please check your options. If you do have insurance, make sure that you have the best plan for you and your family — is your jewelry covered? Is that new guitar noted on your file? What about your bikes? And your laptop and iPad — update your file, take photos of all of your belongings and store those photos somewhere safe. What is your deductible? Do you have betterment insurance? Liability insurance? Seriously, update your plan today and make sure your insurance coverage fits your needs. I just watched the news about a local family who lost everything due to a house fire and they had no insurance…. Please don’t let that be you! If I can help, please call me! I give good advice.

better than a single-stage furnace?

Lesley Smith

Richmond Review

Richmond Funeral Home 8420 Cambie Road Richmond, BC V6X 1K1

Q: What is a 2-stage furnace and are they Two-stage furnaces have two levels of output: they can run on a low setting (first stage) to heat your home during mild/ cool evenings and on high (second stage) when the days are colder. The low setting normally meets the heating demand of a home 80% of the time and as the furnace runs for a longer period, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the home. Two stage furnaces can adjust their output from the low setting to high when the temperature drops so you do not have to keep adjusting the thermostat. There are a number of benefits with having a 2-stage furnace such as the noise of the furnace is quieter as there is no “kick” or blast of air when the furnace turns on to full capacity as it is switching from the low setting to high. The low setting allows the filter to capture more contaminants because air is constantly passing through it. The two-stage furnace burns less fuel as it normally operates on the lower setting before switching to high to meet demand unlike the standard one that runs only at full capacity and then shuts off when the desired temperature is reached. Call Ashton Service Group to schedule a quote for a new furnace before the weather gets any colder at 778-802-1607.

Our family really enjoys the lure of our wood-burning fireplace. What can we do to ensure safe and responsible fires?

Brian Williams President Ashton Service Group

778-802-1607 ashtonservicegroup.com

Serving Lower Mainland for over 20 years

The most important thing a home owner could do is ensure their wood-burning fireplace is swept, cleaned and have a visual inspection yearly to ensure there are not any blockages, creosote build up or deficiencies that could increase the risk of chimney fires. Having proper hearth extensions in front of the fireplace along with a spark screen that properly covers or closes will ensure that embers stay inside the firebox. Also, a good set of hearth tools will allow the home owner to safely add or adjust logs while burning. Responsible wood-burning should include using only properly dried wood and not burning paper, garbage, overly wet wood, or treated wood as these items can increase the build-up of creosote in the chimney, deteriorate the firebrick and flue liner, plus add unpleasant pollutants and smoke in the air. This year we have noticed an increased interest in wood-burning solutions with a focus on high-efficient inserts and stoves which are designed for safer burning while giving the home owner a strong heat source for their home. If you are interested in learning more about keeping your wood-burning fireplace safe or wishing to add a highefficient insert, please stop by our showroom and we’d be happy to discuss your options.

sports Defence first Richmond’s Ryan Vorster (5) and his Greater Vancouver Canadians teammates are hungry for a win in the BC Major Midget Hockey League. Winless in six games, they’ll host Fraser Valley Thunderbirds Sunday at 10 a.m. at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Don Fennell photo

Fire and Ice to mix again Sockeyes, Firefighters to face off in annual hockey fundraiser by Don Fennell Sports Editor Erick Cronier’s determination to help others led to the creation of the For Others Society two years ago. On Dec. 7, the society will hold the third version of one of its major fundraisers—Fire on Ice. The special hockey game, at 5:30 p.m. at the Richmond Ice Centre, will feature the Richmond Sockeyes’ alumni facing off against the Richmond Firefighters. The even will support community projects such as local outreach programs directed at helping children. Tickets are $20 and include admission to the pub night at Stanley’s Bar and Grill and a burger and brew following the game. The post-game festivities will feature

a Christmas/holiday theme and a silent auction, a raffle for Vancouver Canucks tickets, and perhaps even a visit from that jolly ol’ elf Santa Claus. Half the funds will be directed to the Sockeyes’ scholarship program. Last May, a spring version of Fire on Ice buoyed by Richmond Western Hockey League players Carter Popoff and Brayden Low was held at the Ice Centre. Half the proceeds, roughly $2,200, were donated by the firefighters to Project Emily to build a new accessible home in Richmond for the deBoer family. On Feb. 14, 2011 a surgical attempt to correct a spine curvature left Emily de Boer, an active and athletic Lord Byng elementary student, a paraplegic.

Lau solid on junior links in Australia A year ago, Alisha Lau earned top marks in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s event at Morgan Creek. This month, the now 13-year-old from Richmond added another highlight as one of eight

juniors from across the country to play in the Srixon International Junior Classic at the Maitland Golf Club in Australia. Lau shot rounds of 78, 82, 82 and 77 at the 72hole competition.

Junior curlers undefeated The Cody Tanaka rink, which trains at the Richmond Curling Club as well as at Delta’s Tunnel Town and Langley, went undefeated to win the Abbotsford Junior Curling Bonspiel over the Thanksgiving weekend. The team includes third Travis Cameron, second Nicholas Umbach and lead Donny MacKintosh and is coached by Randy Tanaka, Kevin Kelley and Tammy Hughes. They will be curling on the arena ice during the Masters Grand Slam of Curling Nov. 2 in Abbotsford.

FROM VAGABOND TO POWER SMART NEW HOME OWNER. ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY After nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria. “We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.” Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.

Rob Mickelberry

By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada. That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills. Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy for years to come.â&#x20AC;? Stylish elegance is the name of the game at Salix, with its Georgian-inspired architecture. Red brick and styled ironwork combine with the craftsman woodwork accents to make for a chic entrance to the four-storey building. Woodbridge is now selling the final homes in the project. Most are two-bedroom and two-bedroom-and-den plans, but Carlsen says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a wide variety, with six different plans to choose from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is really the time to buy,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding that Salix recently opened up their new model home. When it comes to finishings, buyers have two different interior design schemes to choose from: one contemporary and one traditional. The contemporary scheme (called Sallow) feature stone countertops and chic

white satin flat panel upper cabinets and dark laminate flat panel lower cabinets, complemented by a modern stainless-steel feature hood fan in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the traditional scheme (called Willow) includes elegant granite countertops and Victorian cabinetry in a dark wood, with its own custom Broan hood fan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our unique finishings really stand above the crowd,â&#x20AC;? Carlsen says. Both options feature stainless-steel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, along with spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers surrounded by ceramic tile and welllit large vanity mirrors. Storage space abounds at Salix, and purchasers now have the opportunity to upgrade to a huge storage locker as part of the new incentive package offered by the

developer. The views from the homes at Salix are spectacular, with some facing Mount Baker. Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, and you can easily imagine spending your evenings on your private patio or balcony. Nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and ground floors) contribute to the overall feeling of spaciousness. Salix is perfectly located in the Clayton Heights area to take advantage of all its amenities, from shopping and dining at Willowbrook Shopping Centre to schools, leisure and recreation opportunities in the neighbourhood itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel really good about the value weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing to purchasers,â&#x20AC;? Carlsen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small, quiet building in a prime location.â&#x20AC;? Woodbridge is also offering a $10,000 incentive package right now to buyers, who can put that money towards upgrades on their home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gift from the builder to our buyers,â&#x20AC;? says Carlsen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing value at our price point.â&#x20AC;? Homes at Salix start at $219,900, and you can move in this fall.

sports Richmond holiday hockey classic adds bantam teams to the mix by Don Fennell Sports Editor The Richmond Minor Hockey Association’s showcase tournament is undergoing a significant change prior to dropping the puck on the 33rd edition Boxing Day. What began as a small Midget B event featuring Lower Mainland teams has morphed into one of North America’s most popular invitational hockey tournaments over the Christ-

mas holiday period. But beginning this year, the tournament (Dec. 26 to 31) will not only—as has been tradition for the last several seasons—feature Major Midget and Tier 1 and 2 Midget teams, but now also Bantam Tier 1 and 2 teams. “We’re only taking a total of 16 Bantam Division teams this year, but we think the addition will make for a an exciting change,” said Wendy Steadman, the longtime chair of the tournament along with associate

Irene Pacey. Steadman said the growth of the tournament continues to attract teams and scouts from throughout North America. It has also increased the number of volunteer opportunities, with a number of tasks needing to be filled. If you’re interested in volunteering—everything from co-ordinating raffles to scorekeeping—contact Steadman at steadman@telus.net or at 604-275-1331.

Raiders’ game rounding into form First-year players have grown in leaps and bounds good things.” While five different players scored touchdowns, Parmar was particularly impressed by the defence which itself engineered a touchdown on a forced fumble. “I’ve always believed the strength of our offence is derived from our defence,” he said. “They typically get us the ball with good field position.” Parmar also lauded the yoeman’s work of defensive co-ordinator Greg Fong, who spends at least five hours a week breaking down film of opposing teams. Now 4-2 on the season, the Raiders can secure at least second place in the standings with a victory this Sunday at the Coquitlam Chargers. Then, following a week off, the Raiders will earn top spot with a win in their final regular-season game at the Vancouver Trojans who are also 4-2 on the season.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor For a variety of reasons, not the least of which was a significant turnover of the roster due to graduating players, the Richmond Raiders were slow out of the blocks. But the defending Vancouver Mainland Football League nine-man Bantam Division champs seem to be getting their game together at a perfect time. A 34-6 victory over the White Rock Titans, Monday afternoon at Minoru Park, was the kind of consistent effort the coaching staff has been anxious to see. “We played a solid team game,” beamed Raiders’ offensive co-ordinator Rob Parmar. “It was maybe our most dominant performance of the season. Even though we were playing against a team winless in fiv games, we did a lot of very
