Two car crash claims woman by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A 28-year-old Richmond man could face impaired driving charges following a fatal Wednesday night crash on Highway 99 near Steveston Highway that claimed a 43-year-old woman. Around 10 p.m., a black Mercedes had stopped in the bus lane of the highway when it was rear-ended by a Jeep travelling northbound, sending the Jeep off the road, and the Mercedes into the fast lane. A woman who was a rear passenger in the Mercedes was transported to Richmond Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The driver and front passenger of the Mercedes were taken
to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and were subsequently released. The driver of the Jeep, described as a 28-year-old Richmond man, was arrested at the scene after police suspected he was operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol. He has since been released from custody and will appear in Richmond provincial court again on March 24, 2015. Although witnesses to the collision remained at the scene and played an instrumental role in the collision investigation, investigators are still searching for more witnesses. Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call Deas Island Traffic Services at 604-946-2184.

Driver jailed after fleeing from police A 23-year-old man who lived in Richmond prior to 2012, when local Mounties sought the public’s help in locating him, has been sentenced to 250 days in jail and banned from driving for a decade. Kyle Stephen Latimer was the subject of a Richmond RCMP plea for public assistance in December of 2012, in which they urged members of the public to not approach him as he was considered violent. Latimer at the time was wanted for dangerous driving, flight from a peace officer and breaching probation for driving while prohibited. He was known to use the aliases John Hughes and Steven Kyle Krowchuk. The blonde haired and blue-eyed Latimer appeared in Richmond provincial court on Wednesday where he pleaded guilty to driving while prohibited. He was also handed a $300 fine. Six other counts of driving while prohibited were stayed. —Martin van den Hemel

New course to help tap into booming hospitality job market Hotel industry offers jobs to immigrants, young, and those wanting a career change by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Tens of thousands of new job openings are expected in the next six years in the tourism industry, and a course to be offered starting next month will equip locals with the skills to excel in many of them. The Richmond School District’s continuing education program is offering a course on Hotel Guest Services that runs Thursday nights from Oct. 2 to Dec. 18 at Richmond Secondary School. After successful completion, participants will receive an American Hotel and Lodging Certificate. A free information evening on the course offering will be held on Wednesday , Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. at Richmond High, 7171 Minoru Blvd. Earlier this year, Arlene Keis, chief executive officer at go2hr.ca, which supplies B.C.’s tourism and hospitality industry with humanresources related programs and services, said 100,000 new job opening are expected in the tourism industry by 2020. Two thirds of those jobs will be in the Lower Mainland area, Keis said at Tourism Richmond’s Service Awards. Instructor Jeffrey Smith said his $343 course
will give students insight into the hospitality industry, and give those who already work at hotels or motels specific skills related to their current jobs. “It’s so unique and there are so many different types of jobs you can do in the hospitality industry,” Smith said. The hotel industry is ideal for teenagers who have just completed high school and are looking for career opportunities or a way to earn money while studying at a college or university. While tailored to the hospitality industry, his curriculum covers topics that apply to many other fields, including banking, where there are similar responsibilities and duties relating to customer service, the retail sector and of course the expansive hospitality industry that includes restaurants, cruise ships, airlines and anything to do with transportation. Smith said his course will hold appeal to those in their 30s and 40s and are looking to acquire new skills or are planning to change careers, or even new immigrants looking for a new job. What is pay like in the industry?
That depends on the type of work done and type of hotel—a resort chain hotel situated in the downtown core offers higher wages than a small mom-and-pop hotel on the outskirts of town—but the entry wage generally varies from minimum wage to $17 per hour for a front desk job. Overall, the industry pays about $40,000 to $60,000 annually. For college and university students, chain and corporate hotels located downtown will have more flexibility when it comes to hours of employment that might be better suited to weekend-only work. To excel in the hotel industry, Smith said: “You really have to be a people person.” He added: “It’s a very social type of job. It requires understanding and having positive experiences with every guest.” At the completion of the 12-class course, students will review the material from the year, and will then take an exam. To pass requires a grade of 70 per cent. The course runs from Oct. 2 to Dec. 18, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Richmond High. The $95 textbook is included in the fee of $343.
Four arrested after attempted robbery Three masked men armed with a shotgun who failed to get into Wonderland Jewellery at Aberdeen Centre shortly after 3 p.m. on Tuesday were eventually arrested by police along with an accomplice. According to Vancouver Police, the men were unable to get into the store and fled to a waiting stolen Jeep Cherokee that was driven by a fourth suspect. The stolen Jeep was driven to Thorpe Road in Richmond where it was abandoned, and the four men got into a stolen Ford F-350 pick-up truck which they drove to Burnaby. At about 4 p.m., the group stole another Jeep and the pick-up was also dumped. The second stolen Jeep was driven to Port Moody, where the group attemped to steal two more cars on Cecil Drive, but the suspects all fled on foot. Vancouver Police’s emergency response team and three Vancouver Police canine units began to track the suspects as they jumped a fence in hopes of evading arrest, police said. All four were eventually arrested, and investigators recovered a shotgun and ammunition in Port Moody. Three of the four suspects received dog bites and were treated in hospital. Police are recommending firearms-related charges, as well as disguising with intent and possession of stolen property. All four suspects have an extensive history with police and remain in custody pending their next court appearance in Richmond on Friday, Sept. 19. —Martin van den Hemel
Loo, Pitcairn among new names seeking public office by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Several people put their names forward this week for elected office, including a couple of familiar names and a familiar face. Former Olympian Alexa Loo is making another attempt at Richmond city council, after finishing 11th in a race for eight council seats in 2011, 1,065 votes behind Coun. Ken Johnston for the final spot. Loo will be running as an independent, and said she learned a lot from her first experience. A married mother of two young boys, Loo plans to do more door-knocking—she was
pregnant during the last election and didn’t want to chance walking neighbourhoods in the slippery conditions—and aims to utilize her volunteers more, and dig deeper into her networks. She said she’s heard from the business community who want to have a more streamlined process for setting up a business in Richmond, creating ease of entry. Richmond Chamber of Commerce communications manager Matt Pitcairn also tossed his hat in the ring for a place on the Richmond Board of Education, running with the Richmond Community Coalition. Jonathan Ho, a banker with TD Bank Group who has lived in
Richmond for more than 15 years, is also seeking to become a school trustee. Pitcairn, who was born and raised in Richmond, said he’s “keenly aware that there are many unique challenges facing young families in Richmond. My childhood friends who now have their own young families have all commented that they feel that no one truly represents the views of young families in local government politics. I’m running to change that.” Ho, who serves on the school planning council at William Cook Elementary, said he’s got a vision for the board of education to “be a leader in public education by empowering
our students to become more engaged and caring citizens of our community—and to prepare them for a continually changing and challenging future.” Ho also ran for school board in 2011, finishing ninth. “The importance of the school district is often overlooked by the voting public,” said Richmond Community Coalition chair Sylvia Gwozd. “In fact, it plays a key role in the success of our children’s future. Jonathan and Matt are bringing with them extensive knowledge, new ideas; they represent young and multicultural families who are typically not involved in local government affairs.”

Coal terminal wants Metro OK despite court fight Fraser Surrey Docks challenging region’s air quality authority

approved coal export terminal, even though it is simultaneously challenging the regional district’s jurisdiction over air pollution in court. The port authority approved the proposed coal transfer facility last month and did not require it to obtain a Metro permit. “We’re moving forward with that on a voluntary basis,” said Fraser Surrey Docks president and CEO Jeff Scott. “We feel this is a step in a positive direction that will add further confidence in ensuring our facility doesn’t have significant impacts.” At the same time Scott’s staff are working with Metro officials, both sides are preparing for a fight in B.C. Supreme Court. The terminal operator disputed an unrelated $1,000 pollution ticket Metro issued last year and has taken the position that federal port lands are exempt from
the regional district’s authority over air quality. “The port has jurisdiction over our property and sets the mandates and parameters, including air quality,” Scott said. The project will see an extra train a day of thermal coal from the U.S. roll through White Rock and Surrey to Fraser Surrey Docks. From there it will be barged to Texada Island for reloading to larger ships. Scott aims to have the $15-million coal facility operational in the fall of 2015. The company is pushing ahead despite opposition from climate change activists, local residents, city councils and medical health officers. And Scott won’t wait for Metro approval either, adding construction will start “as soon as possible”—likely “before or during” the regional permitting process.

“We feel this is a step in a positive direction that will add further confidence in ensuring our facility doesn’t have significant impacts.” — Jeff Scott Metro air quality and environment director Roger Quan said a loss in court would set a major precedent removing Metro authority over pollution from other portowned lands. Other terminals must abide by the terms of Metro permits that limit dust emissions from sulphur or potash piles and grain-handling operations. Metro also expects a voluntary permit amendment application from Neptune Terminals in

North Vancouver. The existing coal terminal got approval from the port in January 2013 to increase metallurgical coal exports from eight million to 18 million tonnes per year. Construction is expected to start soon, but Metro can’t block the Neptune expansion—even if its authority is upheld in court—because the terminal has an existing Metro permit. Quan said Metro has had its mobile air monitoring unit stationed near Neptune since April gathering baseline readings so the region can gauge any increase in coal dust emissions after the expansion. The unit is now being redeployed near the BNSF rail line in White Rock to gather similar baseline data on coal dust and diesel emissions ahead of the new terminal opening at Fraser Surrey Docks.

Poll finds much about B.C. better than China for immigrants Chinese immigrants prefer B.C.’s weather and political freedom over China’s, but think they’ve made sacrifices in other aspects of their quality of life here, according to a new poll. The online survey by Insights West of Chinese residents of Metro Vancouver asked what’s better and worse about living here compared to China. More than 80 per cent said B.C.’s moderate climate was better than China’s, while 77 per cent said political freedom and 75 per cent said their home is better here. Big majorities also listed the health care system (68 per cent), the education system (67 per cent) and even the quality and choice of food and grocery items (65 per cent) as superior to China. More Chinese immigrants also like the culture and feeling of community in B.C. than in China. B.C.’s main shortcoming, according to the poll, is the cost of living, which 45 per cent said is worse here than in China. More respondents also said their social life is worse in Canada than in China. Opinions were close on employment opportunities, with 42 per
cent saying job prospects are worse here and 39 per cent saying they’re better. But 44 per cent said their financial situation is better in B.C., compared to 24 per cent who said it’s worse. —Jeff Nagel
Former IKEA worker pleads guilty to fraud A former IKEA worker who was charged with fraud over $5,000 after it was discovered she was illegally loading gift cards, has received a three-month conditional sentence. Dhevna Raksha Muni, 20, appeared in Richmond provincial court on Tuesday where she also received a 12-month term of probation and was ordered to pay $19,585.67 in restitution. According to Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton, Muni’s arrest came after an extensive investigation by IKEA’s loss prevention office. Though she was originally charged with five counts of fraud over $5,000, she pled guilty to one count. IKEA spokesperson Madeleine Lowenborg-Frick confirmed that Muni no longer works for IKEA. — Martin van den Hemel

Richmond Review · Page 7 The ‘Mr. Burns’ mascot aims to make Metro Vancouver’s waste-toenergy strategy a bigger election issue.
‘Mr. Burns’ to dog Metro over incineration Waste strategy under fire on election campaign trail by Jeff Nagel Black Press Opponents of garbage incineration launched a fresh attack on Metro Vancouver’s waste-toenergy expansion plan Tuesday by unveiling a satirical “Mr. Burns” mascot. Kevin Grandia, a consultant fronting what he calls the Burn Free BC Coalition along with one other activist, said the aim is to pressure local politicians seeking election this fall to resist the Metro plan to build a costly new incinerator. The concept mirrors the use of a “Mr. Floatie” mascot in Victoria to shame area politicians into supporting a new treatment plant to end the pumping of raw sewage into the ocean. “This election, we, with Mr. Burns in tow, are going to make sure every voter knows about every municipal candidate who supports this plan,” said Grandia, who unveiled the smokestack-styled mascot outside Metro’s annual Zero Waste Conference in Vancouver. And while much discussion inside the conference room focused on innovative solutions to recycle or reduce waste before it reaches the consumer, the question of incineration was broached in a panel discussion. U.S. plastics recycling entrepreneur Michael Biddle said burning plastics ends its potential use as a resource, although he added waste-to-energy has a role because not everything can be recycled. Another speaker cautioned against overbuilding incinerators. Metro officials insist they support recycling, reuse and reduction of waste at the design stage before recovering energy from unrecyclable waste instead of landfilling it. But Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross accused them of avoiding the topic of incineration at the conference and in municipal elections this fall. Metro last spring postponed plans to start public consultations on some prospective sites for a new waste-to-
energy plant after Nanaimo council rejected one site at Duke Point. Metro has yet to identify other potential sites it has optioned that could be matched with waste-to-energy firms proposing to use various technologies. “It’s the huge elephant in the room,” Ross said. “They’ve gone quiet until after the election because they don’t want it to be an election issue. After that’s over things will happen very very quickly and it will be too late for people to do anything about it.” Opponents of a new waste-to-energy plant for Metro cite varying concerns, including worse air pollution in the Fraser Valley, high costs and the undermining of greener recycling alternatives. Metro insists its strategy is to increase recycling from an average of 58 per cent to 80 per cent by 2020, but it will still need more disposal capacity because of its decision to halt use of the Cache Creek landfill. “We’re working hard to get as much recycled material out of the waste stream as possible,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said.
Moore said he believes campaigns opposing Metro’s plan, as well as its Bylaw 280 to keep waste from flowing out of the region, are “completely funded” by two companies that operate the Cache Creek landfill and haul Metro garbage to distant landfills. “In my opinion, Belkorp and BFI are absolutely the ones funding all of the anti-Metro Vancouver messaging going on.” Moore said the delay in waste-to-energy consultations is because negotiations for prospective sites have proven complex, not due to political reasons. He said most Metro board directors continue to support the regional district’s waste strategy, adopted in mid-2010, despite criticism from a few councillors in some municipalities. Belkorp Environmental Services vice-president Russ Black denied the firm is funding antiMetro campaigns. He released a poll conducted by Abacus Data showing 74 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents would support a two-year freeze by the regional district on
work to build a new incinerator while alternatives are explored. Belkorp subsidiary NextUse Recycling has proposed to build a mixed-waste material recovery plant in Coquitlam that Black argues could sort and extract recyclables from garbage before it’s burned or landfilled. “The public is more than willing to give these a try, especially when they don’t come at any risk to public money,” Black said. Success in sorting commodities from garbage could save the region spending $500 million on a new incinerator, he argued. “The only ones that don’t think it’s a good idea at this point in time are proponents of incinerators.” The poll found few people were aware of the material recovery idea but 91 per cent supported it after it was described to them by the Belkorp-commissioned polling firm. It found 32 per cent of respondents thought incinerators were a good way of dealing with waste that can’t be recycled, while 17 per cent listed landfills.

Metro incinerator emissions drop Upgrade doesn’t go as far as FVRD demanding by Jeff Nagel Black Press
OPEN HOUSE MINORU COMPLEX
An innovative new multi-purpose complex will be built in Minoru Park that will include aquatic and fitness services, an older adults centre and community sport amenities. This complex will be a “Centre of Excellence” for active living and wellness for residents of all ages and abilities. In addition, detailed design work has commenced on both Brighouse Fire Hall No. 1 and Cambie Fire Hall No. 3.
A mostly complete upgrade at Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy incinerator in south Burnaby has already sharply reduced emissions that contribute to smog. Metro Vancouver solid waste manager Paul Henderson said there’s been a more than 25 per cent drop in nitrogen oxides released and those emissions should drop by nearly another third by the end of the year to less than half of the 2013 average. The $7-million emission control system upgrade is the latest improvement at the region’s Waste-ToEnergy Facility, but the Fraser Valley Regional District has challenged the plant’s operating certificate renewal, demanding the province impose much tighter emission limits and monitoring requirements. Metro’s incinerator normally con-
tributes about 0.9 per cent of the Lower Mainland’s nitrogen oxide emissions, but Henderson said that has now fallen to 0.6 per cent and should hit 0.4 per cent by year-end. The incinerator burns 280,000 tonnes of garbage per year and the region is continuing its push to add a new waste-to-energy plant with a further 370,000-tonne capacity. It would burn garbage that isn’t recycled and will no longer be shipped to the Cache Creek landfill. The existing plant had an unrelated setback in August when a turbine rotor blade broke, forcing the incinerator to halt the generation and sale of electricity to BC Hydro. Power generation is offline until at least mid-October. Metro expects to make up the for the power revenue loss next year, because a scheduled maintenance shutdown in 2015 has been moved up to coincide with the current downtime.
You are invited to review the work done to date, ask questions of staff and the architects and provide feedback that will assist the project teams as the design progresses.

Rise of wearable tech raises distracted driving fears B.C. could tweak law to cover Apple Watch by Jeff Nagel Black Press The rollout of the new Apple Watch has police and provincial officials monitoring whether B.C.’s distracted driving law is broad enough to bust drivers who use new wearable technology. “We haven’t seen anyone using Google Glass or other wearable electronics yet, but I think it will only be a matter time before we start seeing it more frequently, especially as new products enter the market,” said Delta Police Acting Sgt. Sarah Swallow. “It will be something we need to monitor,” she said. “These things are only going to get more and more popular.” Apple’s smart watch was unveiled Tuesday along with new iPhones and the device will allow users to read and send texts, among many other functions.
Swallow is concerned the use of smart watches may not be covered under the sections of B.C.’s distracted driving law that ban the use of handheld electronics. “Something like a watch that is designed to be used on your wrist or Google Glass—they’re not designed as handheld electronic devices.” There’s also a section of the law that bans drivers from using any electronic device, not just handheld ones, to send or receive e-mail or texts, but that covers just two of the functions of the new gadgets. Police can also use the Motor Vehicle Act section against driving without due care and attention but, unlike the distracted driving law, officers must see evidence of risky driving to issue the $368 fine and six penalty points. Police have long had that ability to fine drivers who swerve while they adjust stereos, juggle a hot cup of coffee or scold children in the backseat, but the $167 distracted driving fines have been used much more frequently since their 2010 introduction.

Sam MacLeod, B.C.’s Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, said his office believes the current distracted driving law is broad enough to capture Google Glass or smart watches, but added the definition of prohibited devices could be expanded if needed. “We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our legislation against these new technologies and will make changes if needed,” MacLeod said. “We are obvi-
ously concerned about the development of any technology that could distract drivers from focusing on the road and the task of driving.” ICBC last month blamed crashes caused by distracted drivers as one factor for a proposed 5.2 per cent increase in basic insurance rates. On average, 30 people a year are killed in distracted driving crashes in the Lower Mainland, and 88 province-wide.

have the facts in hand, a silver alert could be used to alert commercial radio stations, Internet radio, satellite radio, television stations, social media, traditional media and cable TV as well as billboards and, possibly, text messages to relay information. It might not always result in the person being found, or might be overkill when someone loses track of a loved one and panics before finding them close to home, but on balance, a silver alert would speed up the dissemination of information, something which was a problem in the
case of Shin Noh last September, when sightings came too late to be followed up on. The family of Shin Noh has gone on record in supporting a silver alert program to no avail. Thankfully, not everyone is waiting for government to take action. A group of technically savvy individuals, including Michael Coyle of Coquitlam Search and Rescue, and supporters of the Noh family have formed BC Silver Alert, a citizen-run program that uses social media such as Twitter and Facebook to send out information, gleaned from police
reports, about missing elderly people. This is a great idea, and although only in its infancy, has already been used in the case of a missing person in Richmond. But while we applaud this citizens’ effort, we worry that it might not be as thorough and as far-reaching as a government-run program with greater resources. While BC Silver Alert shows the community will take care of itself, we worry that when a life is at stake, community spirit and goodwill may not be enough. —Black Press
letters Has columnist ever set foot in a real classroom? Editor: Re: “Off to school, and to court,” Tom Fletcher, Sept. 17. I like reading newspapers and Fletcher’s opinion piece is probably one of the worst articles I have come across in a long time. I couldn’t help wondering what colour the sky is in his world and whether he actually ever has set foot in a real classroom. We all have our different opinions, and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has to deal with 41,000 of them. What they managed to accomplish, considering the wide range of opinions in their membership, and the destructive sociopathic tendencies of the wolf pack in Victoria, is nothing short of a miracle. To tie education, health and social services to the ups and downs of the government’s yearly budget does not seem to promote long-term planning, something we have not seen in this province for a heck of a long time. Besides that, it’s a matter of priorities. The provincial government seems to have lots of money available for other projects, mostly ones that will give fast monetary returns or shine their self-image. I guess the province’s youth does not qualify for future investment.
B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced a tentative deal Tuesday. Columnist Tom Fletcher weighed in on the dispute Wednesday in a column a letter-writer and teacher describes as ‘one of the worst articles I have come across in a long time.’’
I especially find his comment about the BCTF’s involvement with poverty very asinine. As if it does not affect the ability of teachers to teach because the statistics are flawed. I would like to invite him to shadow me on my daily route as an itinerant teacher
through the many schools in Surrey. Then he can witness for himself how empty stomachs really affects kid’s ability to learn. Then he can write his next article, perhaps with the title “How to teach students with empty stomachs without really crying.”
On second thought, that might not be a such a good idea; the Victoria pack might actually take this up and promote it as their next harebrained idea for “moving education forward.” Ary Bovenkerk Richmond
Local elections nothing short of ‘a charade’ Editor: To paraphrase Mark Twain, if voting actually made a difference, it would be made illegal. Cynicism? No. It’s been the reality since the first election was held. Given the majority of candidates have announced their intent to be on the ballot in mid-November, many voters will pursue this increasingly futile exercise called democracy. Richmond’s history has been to recycle incumbents. As a longtime Richmond resident, I can recall only two major issues that dramatically affected Richmond council’s makeup: the
“$1.49 day” Woodwards’ Lansdowne mall issue in the early 1970s, which brought in many new councillors and Gil Blair for mayor; the contentious Terra Nova issue in late 1980s in which Coun. Greg Halsey-Brandt challenged and ousted Blair. Unfortunately, many voters were under the impression that upset would actually create change, but it was business as usual and continues to this day. What inspired this letter was some recent comments made by an incumbent council member seeking re-election as mayor who stated that annual tax hikes are a “necessity” and “growth” is the only
alternative to decline. That can be interpreted to imply taxes will increase (and consequently compound) far beyond residents’ ability to afford, and that we can expect unbridled growth to continue to destroy neighbourhoods and increasingly displace long-term residents and businesses. This further implies that city hall spending is out of control and the Richmond taxpayer is on the hook for these whims and indulgences by cliques at city hall. Finally, one of my favourite oftrepeated attitudes of a veteran councillor is their view that once elected, we voters have to trust
their decisions. Richmond elections are a charade and have been for decades. Up until the 1960s there were various citizens committees, such as local planning that provided grassroots input into the decision-making process. As the bureaucracy grew, these committees became ignored to the point of dissolution, all while our elected councils allowed this to occur. Decisions are made in the back rooms, and the charade of “your vote counts” is maintained between and during elections. R.A. Hoegler Richmond

Editor: While everyone decries the teaching strike and most people, including teachers, are breathing a sigh of relief that it is tentatively settled, few people seem upset about something much more important that is slipping away: democracy. Our government is quickly becoming an autocracy. The government blatantly stripped laws from a collective bargaining agreement, which is illegal. After losing a second time in court and being fined $2 million, it proceeded to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, spending more untold millions shopping for a judge who would agree with them. In the meantime, they have literally starved teachers and their children and prevented thousands of children from getting their rightful education. These are not the actions of a government that cares about its citizens, or their education, or the democratic process. The union, for all its flaws, is at least a democratic institution in which every decision is voted on by the teachers at the grassroots level. Can we say the same for our government? As a teacher trying to get my side of the story heard in the mainstream media, I was shocked to see how little opportunity I had to express my opinion, short of chaining myself to a flagpole or doing something to garner outrageous attention. Many of the “interviews” with government on TV seemed like a sit-down on The View, rather than the kind of reporting I remember from days past, where journalists put government officials in the hot seat and held their feet to the flames!

Parents and students rally outside the office of Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap during the teachers’ strike.
remember Mike Wallace? As a teacher who feels it is my duty to introduce many of my immigrant students to “the Canadian way,” I was disappointed by the level of complacency I saw in the voting public, sailing off into a long summer vacation, until they were personally affected by the strike. I think parents and the people of Richmond, which is a well-known Liberal stronghold, should meditate on what their government really represents when you take off the mask of “families first”—everyone for themselves, development at any cost, and more for the rich. I ask you all: is that the legacy we want to leave behind? Michael Mikulin Richmond Music Teacher
What does new civic party stand for? Editor: You ran at least two articles on the Richmond Community Coalition which left me wondering why the party is bothering to form; what do they stand for? The fairly lengthy articles said the coalition wants to consult more with Richmond residents, but that is a process, not a position. The article on Renew Richmond says it aims for the same thing, more communication. At least the Renew Richmond article sets out some specific ideas for changing the city, but is the coalition not telling your reporters what it plans to do? Steve Bridger Richmond

About that teachers’ strike Editor: As much as some teachers, trustees, parents and other supporters might like to think that public outcry resulted in the government softening its stance on negotiating its way out of a court case and adding more money to education, I have a different take on things. I am sure that somewhere in the course of negotiations, there was an inkling of hope by government that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation would be willing to sign away court wins. I think that the government’s unavailability over the summer, then an 11th hour olive branch at the end of August, were orchestrated to ensure that we remain on strike into September. Why? It seems to me from my seat on the sidelines that when Minister Fassbender said government didn’t want to legislate, it really meant this—what would be the point of the legislation? An imposed contract would likely expire next June and would stand a good chance of being challenged in court by the BCTF. Also, legislating themselves out of a court ruling got government in the mess they’re in now. It also seems to me the government is expecting they will lose once the court case goes to the Supreme Court of Canada. It is likely that the Supreme Court may rule before our contract expires. Keeping teachers out on strike in September affords the government the opportunity to punish us financially and to demoralize us now, since there won’t be a clear opportunity to do this given that the Supreme Court of Canada case will likely be heard before our contract is set to expire again. Despite my doom and gloom cynical views, I am extremely happy to be returning to work because, as trite as I may sound, I really do love my job. I’m also mature enough to leave my personal views off of the school grounds and hope that my colleagues around the province are too. Sharon Hales Kindergarten teacher Richmond

community Thousands raised at fundraiser for search-and-rescue group by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Saturday’s fundraising dinner and dance benefitting the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 10 was a huge success, according to unit leader Aaron Harnden. “It was a great show of community support and involvement,” he said. “We were really pleased.” More than 150 people purchased tickets to the annual fundraiser at the Britannia Heritage Shipyard’s net loft. The night began with a reception on the net loft’s balcony followed by a silent auction, a dinner and some speeches, and then live music from Darren Specht and the Blue-
hawks Band. Harnden said the event raised thousands of dollars that will be earmarked for training, safety equipment and equipment upgrades, including better technology to assist in keeping volunteers safe and helping those who need rescuing on the waterways. “A big thanks to everyone who was able to participate and take time out of their weekends...It’s a key role that we play and it’s one that we appreciate.” Harnden said the event wouldn’t have been possible without the support from the community, including the Croation Cultural Centre, O’Hare’s Gastropub and Liquor Store, PriceSmart Foods and Save-on-Foods, as well as Coal Harbour Brewing Company, which supplied the refreshments.

There were dozens of other community sponsors, he said. Harnden said that by supporting the search-and-rescue station, the community is supporting “community-based assets and resources” that are ultimately owned by communities. Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 10 is a volunteer-driven group tasked with keeping local waterways safe for boaters. The non-profit organization relies on public donations, and volunteers, to operate annually. The local crew operates out of both the Middle Arm and South Arm of the Fraser River, and responds to an average of 50 incidents each year, and volunteers thousands of hours each year.

community Accept aboriginal title B.C.-wide, premier told
When is it time to have that talk with your kids? One of the most difficult topics of discussion within families is inheritance (the other difficult topic you already know about). Estate planning is complex enough, but discussing the issue with family is probably as important as making a plan to begin with. Is there a “right” time to discuss it with children? An article earlier this week in The Fiscal Times states that American baby boomers will leave about $12 trillion to children in the coming decades. I expect the numbers are proportionally similar in Canada. That is an overwhelming number! What is important about speaking to your family about this issue is that it will help clarify any uncertainty children may have about “what will happen,” and may help them with their own planning. The Times also recommends having the talk with adult children after they have established themselves financially. Any earlier may lead to an attitude of irresponsibility: adult children may otherwise think that they don’t need to be concerned about their financial future, because the parents will look after things. It is especially important to speak with family where the distribution will be unequal among the children. That way, at least the children will know why. Not informing children of such major decisions can lead to problems, from anxiety to the breakdown of sibling relationships. In most cases, discussing Estate plans with children will help your family. Visit our website (www.WillPowerLaw.com) or call us at (604)233-7001 to discuss your Wills, Estates and Seniors’ questions.

Aboriginal leaders opened their meeting with the provincial cabinet last Thursday by urging them to resume discussions to recognize aboriginal title instead of dragging out case after case in the courts. Premier Christy Clark convened the special session in Vancouver after visiting the Nemiah Valley near Williams Lake, where the Tsilhqot’in Nation established title in a landmark ruling in June. Clark signed a letter of understanding with the Tsilhqot’in to work on implementing the verdict of the Supreme Court of Canada ruling, the first to acknowledge title to a specific area of what was considered Crown land. Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs told the gathering in Vancouver that Clark’s “public platitudes” echo those of former premier Gordon Campbell in 2009 when he proposed legislation to recognize title prov-
ince-wide. That proposal caused the B.C. Business Council to “set its hair on fire” and issue “an inflammatory legal opinion” that derailed the effort, Phillip said. In fact it was B.C. aboriginal leaders who voted the proposal down four months after it was pulled from the legislature on the eve of the 2009 B.C. election. Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit recounted federal and provincial efforts to thwart land claims cases, from prohibiting aboriginal people from hiring lawyers in the 1920s to the tactics used in the 2007 Tsilhqot’in trial. That trial ran for 339 days in B.C. Supreme Court, after 10 pre-trial motions by federal and provincial lawyers trying to have the case thrown out on technical grounds, John said. When that failed, Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, the named plaintiff, was made to testify for 46 days and none of his testimony was used by government lawyers after that, he said.

arts & entertainment Writer brings murder-mysteries to life Local author talks strong coffee, best time to write and gaining confidence in the craft by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
T
wo years ago, Det. Ian McBriar was lying in a gutter, shot by a man he was pursuing. He’s since recovered—for the sequel—only to be caught in a tale of death without motive, a suspect with no alibi and a child caught between three adults.
Death Works at Night is the latest novel in Richmond author Mauro Azzano’s Ian McBriar fiction series, set in 1970s Toronto. It began in 2012 with the murder-mystery The Dead Don’t Dream, which was re-released last year. A third, Death By Deceit, is set for release in the new year. Azzano, a 22-year Richmond resident whose day job is troubleshooting software, loves writing fiction, but he’s also put pen to paper about real life, writing a series of articles detailing his transformation from couch potato to marathon runner. Born on a farm in Italy, Azzano moved to
Australia at age three. By age 12, he was in Canada—also the home of protagonist Ian McBriar. His first McBriar novel takes readers to the year 1973, where the homicide detective battles bigotry, racism and personal tragedy to become one of the few Métis constables in the department. The detective is haunted by the deaths he has investigated and the lives he has seen destroyed. Azzano pays particular attention to details in his writing, and insists on “hearing” his characters speaking. If they don’t have a voice, he says, then he can’t give them a personality.

Herman’s Hermits at River Rock Herman’s Hermits with Peter Noone will play River Rock Show Theatre next Friday. At age 15, Noone earned fame as “Herman,” the lead singer of the pop band Herman’s Hermits. The band’s classic hits include “I’m Into Something Good,” “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Henry Vlll, I Am,” “Listen People” and “There’s A Kind of Hush.” The band sold millions of albums and Noone, in his heyday, graced the cover of nearly every international publication. He’s also acted for TV and film, and took several leading roles in theatrical productions. Today Noone and the band continue to perform to audiences whose fans span generations. The Sept. 26 show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets, starting at $34.50, at www.ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000.
1. What led you to writing fiction? “It just evolved. I had this story running through my head for over a decade, and it seemed the best way to get it out was to put it on paper.” 2. How much do you an Ian McBriar have in common? “We both like coffee and cooking. We’re both from somewhere else, and have similar morals. Apart from that, he’s taller and better looking.” 3. A source of inspiration for your writing? “I’m an incorrigible people-watcher.
Mauro Azzano is the author of the Ian McBriar murder mystery series.
The first book emerged from a composite of scenes and people I’d seen, and kept in the back of my head.” 4. Why are you drawn to writing murder mysteries? “It’s like creating a very intricate
puzzle—a crossword or a sudoku. If you do it right, both you and the reader enjoy solving it together.” 5. A popular author you admire? “Mark Twain. His sense of humour is still relevant today.” 6. Your coffee shop beverage of choice? “My parents owned a restaurant in Italy, so I’m very particular about strong coffee. That said, a good cappuccino always hits the spot.” 7. What’s something you pay particular attention to in crafting stories? “Details, details, details. From the type of car the police drove in 1973, when the first book takes place, to the type of equipment used in the third book (due out in 2015) I research extensively. For instance, I needed to contact the U.S. Secret Service when researching material for my third book. They were very concerned about why I was asking specific questions, until I pointed out that I had a website and was a published mystery writer.” 8. Best time of day to write? “Nine a.m. Sunday morning. I run with a marvelous group of people; that gives me two hours or so to think and write in my head as I’m running.” 9. Best cure for writer’s block? “Take a break. Leave the work alone for a few days, then get back to it later.” See Page 18
Young hip hop dancer en route to world championships Tanner March will be popping and locking for Team Canada at the IDO World Hip Hop Championships in Germany by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A Samuel Brighouse Elementary School student will be travelling to Germany next week as part of Team Canada’s junior team to compete at the IDO World Hip Hop Championships in Bochum. Tanner March, who will be entering Grade 7 this year, has been dancing for six years, and competed against more than 100 dancers for one of 18 spots on the junior team, comprising 12 to 15 year olds. Next Monday, when other kids hope to be returning to school after a tentative deal was reached Tuesday between the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, Tanner will be flying to Germany as one of 67 dancers, chaperones and choreographers. “The first time when my mom brought me to my first dance class...I didn’t at first like it,” he said from his backyard. But as he forged new friendships, it became like his second home. Dancing allows him to express
himself, to translate what a choreographer envisions, and shape it into something that’s uniquely his own. “Whenever...I’ve had a bad day at school, dance allows me to get that out so I can start fresh again the next day. If I’m sad about something or happy, it allows me to express that when I dance.” A fan of the TV dance competition America’s Best Dance Crew, March said he watches it whenever he can, and enjoys learning moves from the show, and mixing in his own flavour. March said he’s nervous and excited about the trip, and the opportunity to represent Canada. “We still have lots of practices and we have a performance before we leave,” he said. But he’s looking forward to seeing and learning different hip hop styles from other international teams. March is part of the 18-member junior team, and has been practising with his teammates under the direction of choreographers (including Paul Otterbein and Sam Crossley) on weekends for months on their nearly three-minute rou-
“Dance allows me to start fresh again the next day. If I’m sad about something or happy, it allows me to express that when I dance.” — Tanner March tine. Aside from the six hours on weekends, he also practises about an hour a day, and during the summer attended dance workshops. “We do all different styles of hip hop,” March said of the Team Canada routine. “We do new jack swing, we do locking, hardcore hip hop, we do waacking, we do a bit of popping and a bunch of different styles that are combined into one piece.” For those curious about trying out dance, March encourages them to give it a shot. He recalls the days of being nervous and shy too. “Go for it. There’s not one way to dance.”

The Dead Don’t Dream is the first novel in a murder-mystery series from Richmond author Mauro Azzano. Death Works at Night is second in the Ian McBriar series.
From Page 17 10. What prompted you to take up running? “I ran a little in school, and I wanted to get back into shape when my children were teens, so I joined a clinic and trained for the Vancouver Sun Run. Given my personality, I wondered if I could do better, so I began running with the half-marathon group that I still run with. I ended up writing a series of articles for the Running Room Magazine, to explain to others why we subject ourselves to the insanity of running. As it happens, having these articles printed gave me the confidence to write my first novel and persevere to have it published.” 11. Your greatest running achievement? “I finished two Vancouver Marathons.
I’ve completed, I think, about 18 halfmarathons, plus 50 or so other runs, but getting a medal that says ‘Marathon’ on it is something really special.” 12. What does your day job involve? “In the real world, I troubleshoot network and software problems for clients all over North America.” 13. Your first job? “My father worked for a construction company. He got me a summer job when I was in high school, working with tile setters.” 14. How much time does it take you to complete a book? “I had the very first scene of the first book in my head for several years. That never changed one iota, but from when I began typing the manuscript to when I finished it

hirty years ago, the people of Richmond determined that we needed a dedicated space for the performing arts. And so, Gateway Theatre was born—a state of the art facility that would become the cultural hub of our city. For three decades, Gateway Theatre has been a home for outstanding music, dance, and, of course, live theatre. Our building is filled with special memories for hundreds of thousands of patrons. Turning thirty is an occasion all of Richmond can celebrate together. It is Richmond’s love of the arts that opened our doors in 1984. It is Richmond’s generosity and goodwill that has sustained us over the years. Today, we are asking you to ensure that Gateway Theatre continues to be one of Richmond’s cultural treasures for the next thirty years.
Gateway Theatre is proud to launch the Encore Campaign. During our Thirtieth Anniversary Season, we aim to raise $30,000 and we are asking for your support.

n British Columbia, there is no specific “Bicycle Act” dealing with “bicycle law”. We can expect one in the not too distant future. In the meantime, although a bicycle in the usual sense of the word a bicycle is not a motor vehicle, most of what bicyclists need to know about the rules of the road is found in the BC Motor Vehicle Act. (Note that the Act likes to use the word “cycle”.) Apart from rules concerning helmet use, the main body of legislation in this regard — Rights and Duties of Operator of Cycle — is found in section 183 of the Act, quoted here in part, with minor formatting changes, as follows: 1. a person operating a cycle on a highway has the same rights and duties as a driver of a vehicle. (Editorial note: the Motor Vehicle Act is a large statute, but the central theme is that a vehicle operator must always drive with “due care and attention”.) 2. A person operating a cycle must: (a) not ride on a sidewalk unless authorized by a bylaw made under section 124 or unless otherwise directed by a sign, (b) not, for the purpose of crossing a highway, ride on a crosswalk unless authorized to do so by a bylaw made under section 124 or unless otherwise directed by a sign, (c) subject to paragraph (a), ride as
near as practicable to the right side of the highway (except that nothing here requires a person to ride a cycle on any part of a highway that is not paved.) (d) not ride abreast of another person operating a cycle on the roadway, (e) keep at least one hand on the handlebars, (f) not ride other than on or astride a regular seat of the cycle, (g) not use the cycle to carry more persons at one time than the number for which it is designed and equipped, and (h) not ride a cycle on a highway where signs prohibit their use. (Editorial note: a special rule for any bicyclists who do not understand what a “No Bicycles” sign means.) Under section 183(4), the Act goes on to choreograph the proper left turn scenario for bicyclists trying to negotiate this often terrifying manoeuvre on a major roadway. No one should ever ride a bicycle again until they have read, and been tested on the rules in this regard. See http://www.bclaws.ca/. Section 183 then deals with requirements for after dark lighting, brakes, requirements in the event of an accident causing injury or damage, and a significant list of safety concerns related to the obvious misuse of a bicycle. A conscientious bicyclist will no doubt make a point of reading all of section 183, which takes a few minutes and again, can be found at http://www.bclaws.ca/. And something fairly new: in instances of egregious behaviour as defined by the Act, police may seize a bicycle for a prescribed period of time. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

was about a year and a half.” 15. What device do you use for writing? “I use my desktop PC, but if I’m travelling or I have a sudden inspiration I use my laptop. I also keep my manuscripts on USB drive, just in case of a system failure, so I won’t lose the work.” 16. Your preferred medium for reading? “I prefer a physical book. People get upset when I use a highlighter pen on their Kindles.” 17. A memorable place you’ve travelled to? “My mother is Venetian, and I speak Venetian dialect, so when my wife and I went to Venice, it was like being around thousands of relatives. It’s an amazing place to visit, with amazing food. Like my main character, I am passionate about good food, and I found myself in a place with extraordinary food and wonderful scenery. That trip found its way into my second book.” 18. What do you remember about growing up in Australia? “I grew up in suburban Melbourne, which is similar to Vancouver in many ways. Except of course that summer vacation was at Christmas, and Santa usually wore shorts. I remember collecting chestnuts in the forests around Emerald, finding gold in the rivers near Ballarat, and bodysurfing with penguins and sharks off Philip Island. It wasn’t until I came to Canada, and farther from the equator, that I realized that summer days and winter days could be so different in length.” 19. What’s one of the greatest movies? “There are so many to choose from. I also share my character’s love of film. If I had to choose a favourite, certainly the list would include North By Northwest. The puzzle Hitchcock places before us, and the hapless man who is caught up in it have become part of movie history.” 20. A guilty culinary pleasure? “I’m a sucker for cheese danishes.”

Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours!

“The four-time F1 champ influenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reflective signs collision technology.

Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying. Contact keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Topless Fiat flawed but that’s part of its charm by Alexandra Straub
The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic. John Legend’s “All of Me” comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.” Hmmmm.

pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The 5-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace. While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not perfect. I love the exterior colour: Espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm richness to it. When matched with the two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it looks stylish and chic. Bringing the outside in, the espresso paint also colours to life the dash. Combined with ivory touches, it has an upscale ambiance. The tester, being the Lounge trim of 500C, it has an MSRP of $23,995. That comes with keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel (and the aforementioned leather seating surfaces with heated front seats), 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, hill start assist and more. When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required. Furthermore, if you want to shed some light on the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the push of a button. One is a sunroof-like option, the next goes about 2/3 of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pintsized Fiat I’m captaining. In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it. One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous dingdong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers commented on how annoying it is. The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs. You should be able to crank up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the additional $495 price tag.) Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors that help guide you into the spot you want to be in. The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people inside and their luggage will be a challenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open. Then there’s the optional TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward visibility. An awkward spot for GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straightforward either. Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power,

Food Truck phenomenon shifts into high gear Food Network takes notice of one Richmond Night Market vendor by Kolby Solinsky Black Press
T
here’s something about the street. It’s a great scene for the silver screen.
It’s a frontier, much like TV itself. The offerings are creative and infinitely fresher than whatever’s indoors—whatever’s in theatres, with the recipe locked in a studio’s vault. The actors move literally and upwards from and between the mediums, and the audience knows there’s a difference between 22 minutes and two hours, but the products are largely the same. And maybe that’s what makes the TV show Eat St. so delicious, too. “Our show started right on the cusp of this whole movement,” says James Cunningham, host of the Food Network’s Canadian series, now two episodes into its third season. “We let the food truck owners be themselves and just take us through what they do. “We throw to them, and let them be their crazy selves... A lot of them are just really awesome people that love what they do.” Cunningham and Eat St. tour North America, sipping and ingesting from the best mobile restaurants in a slew of the continent’s metropolises. The American food truck culture is now welldocumented—it’s bragged about on Anthony Bourdain’s Layover or Jon Favreau’s new movie
Chef—and the supernova keeps on exploding. Food trucks have gone from hipster cool to established chic, from a swell way to start a business to a viable peg in a chef’s empire. But while several cities in the United States are cornered by hundreds of food trucks, Canada’s biggest cities—even Toronto or Montreal—tend to only flirt with the century mark, says Cunningham. “What we lack in quantity, we make up for in quality,” says host Cunningham, who adds that Canadian food trucks are often born after plenty of research and planning, with a vision. “Once someone decides to open a food truck in Canada, their operation is pretty slick.” Cunningham was born and raised in Toronto and lives there downtown now, but he’s more than familiar with Vancouver. This season, Eat St. will be showing off B.C.’s biggest city and its mobile food scene. “Vancouver is probably our best street food city because of the weather factor, you’re spoiled out there,” he says. “You’ve got the good stuff out there. “You guys can operate 365, seven days a week. Nobody’s outside in Toronto in minus-40 saying, ‘Hey, I want some street food.’” Eat St. started its fifth season two weeks ago, heading to Boston, Philadelphia, Denver, and Vancouver in Episode 1. In B.C., Cunningham and crew enjoyed the feasts from Street Meet, a “West Coast take on European cuisine.” See Page 28

‘It really allows for my own creativity to come through’ From Page 27 In Episode 2, Eat St. took to Victoria, B.C. for Taco Justice—a “truck to wrestle your hunger into submission”—and also visited Philadelphia, Boston and Seattle. For Episode 3, the show again focuses on B.C. Last Saturday’s program featured Vancouver’s popular Mogu truck, a Japanese Street Eats truck run by Yuji Aoko and his wife Kumiko. “The concept is basically Japanese-inspired fast food, so the fundamental flavours are Japanese but served in a North American style,” says Yuji. He grew up in Vancouver, the son of Japanese parents. And Kumiko is from Japan. Their truck parks and serves downtown at Howe and Dunsmuir Streets and has a booth at the Richmond Night Market, every weekend and holiday Monday. “Having the different influences here, I’ve sort of mixed that into the flavours, but it is Japanese at the core,” Yuji says of Mogu. “People in Vancouver, they like to go out and eat, so being out and eating at a food truck festival, I think is really attractive to Vancouver people. “All the culture (here), all the different kinds of food... you can have Indian, Chinese, breakfast, juice at these spots,” he said. “It is getting stronger, the food truck culture.”
Yuji and Kumiko started Mogu in 2012 after an impressive showing at a taste-testing event downtown, at Vancouver Community College. The event’s judges chose 12 food carts and gave out 12 permits. “We were lucky to get one of them,” says Yuji, who was working at a restaurant and attending the culinary program at Vancouver Community College.“ At that point, I was like, ‘OK. We’ve gotta do this.’ “It’s not that I wanted to get away from a restaurant but I’ve always wanted to do a business of my own... It really allows for my own creativity to come through and it was allowing me to serve the kind of food I can serve in my style.” Saturday’s Eat St. was Yuji’s first time on TV. He says the show was filmed about a year ago, taking a full day—starting at 6 a.m., ending around 7 p.m. “I’ve never done anything like that before,” he says. “They were totally professional and really helped me out. I think it ended up being really good.” Last weekend’s show also returned to the fifth season’s familiar venue of Philadelphia, as well as New York City and Portland, that much-loved capital of skinny jeans, live music, and craft beer. “People aren’t talking about it as a food trend anymore, it’s not going away anymore.”

RUNWAY END SAFETY AREAS AT YVR As an international airport committed to excellence in safety, YVR is proactively building Runway End Safety Areas (RESAs) to meet international recommendations and exceed the anticipated Canadian standard. RESAs are specialized areas at the end of a runway that protect passengers and reduce the severity of damage to an aircraft in the unlikely event of an overrun or undershoot. RESAs will first be built on the South and Crosswind Runways due to operational, environmental and financial factors. Planning for RESAs on the North Runway is in the early stages. More information will be shared with the community and stakeholders once technical studies required for options analysis are completed. For more information, visit yvr.ca/RESA.

Ask the Experts can I maximize my donations to my Q: How favourite charity?
Q: With the fall setting in, how can I extend my outdoor season?
A
A:
If a more practical solution is needed, or if you are looking to create even more warmth that a fire feature can provide, then you can add a quality natural gas, propane, or electric heater. Natural gas and propane heaters can come in free standing or wall/ceiling hung varieties – each having benefits for the space that they are planned to be used. Alternately, and a more popular choice, is to look to install an infrared electric heater which has more flexibility than the gas/propane versions as they can be mounted closer to wood structures and under overhangs. One of the largest benefits that electric heaters have is that they can be installed using a variable heat control which allows you to adjust the heat intensity emitting from them (just like an electric range top element control dial!)

Time to service your forced air furnace or hot water boiler?
we reach the middle of September, it’s like someone turns off a switch. From this point forward, we might get lucky to have sunny days, but it is cold at night and when we wake up in the morning. This tells me it’s time to make sure my furnace is ready to go. Today’s high efficient furnaces have many electronic parts. If you haven’t already, it would be a good idea to first replace your filter, and then switch on your furnace. The best time of year to service your heating equipment is in September, just before we hit fall. Typically companies offer furnace service specials at this time (present company included,) and the cold mornings remind everyone it’s time to schedule an appointment. If you have a hot water boiler it’s not as simple as switching it on and seeing if it works. Sure, you might get lucky, but these systems are more complicated, have multiple moving parts and heating zones. Hot water boilers require the service expertise of a heating professional trained in the service of residential boilers. If left unmaintained, you will likely cause premature damage to components that could have lasted many more years if properly maintained. We’re local,we’re knowledgeable, and our friendly office staff are available 8:00am – 4:30pm Monday to Friday to answer any of your questions.

suffering from a lot of pain in my foot Q: Iandamheels. What can I do?
bought postage stamps so I could mail my Christmas cards at a discounted rate. Do you still have these type of stamps at a discount?
Many people suffer from pain in their foot or heels as a result of pronation. Pronation is the degree that your foot rolls towards the inside of your body when you walk or run. In people who over-pronate, the shock of the steps taken when walking do not distribute evenly over the foot. Over time, this can lead to pain in the foot as well as pain in the knees. People who have flatter feet are even more likely to over-pronate. One way to correct pronation is with the right orthotic or the right shoe. Orthotics help by providing support on the medial side of the foot to correct pronation. An example of an over-the-counter orthotic that I recommend is Superfeet Orthotics. They are different than traditional insoles in that they provide physical structure on the bottom of the heel to help correct pronation. The right pair of shoes are also pivotal because many people wear the wrong type of shoes for their gait. Most people who pronate will require either a Neutral shoe or a Posted shoe depending on their degree of pronation. An example of a Neutral shoe is the Saucony Echelon while the Brooks Addiction Walker is an example of a Posted shoe for more support.

Dental caries is a transmissible bacterial infection of the mouth. There have now been approximately 40 different bacteria strains specifically known to contribute to this disease, in addition to the usual suspects, strep mutans and lactobacillus. These organisms live in a thin organic layer of sticky goo on the surface of our teeth called a biofilm. We normally have a healthy non-problematic biofilm. However, when the normal biofilm is out of balance a change in pH, or acidity, occurs. So caries is really a biofilm disease with a pH dysfunction. In addition, if the pH remains low in the mouth the cavity causing bacteria are favoured because they not only produce more acids but prefer to live in an acidic environment. The healthy, desirable bacteria on the other hand do not survive hence there is a shift to a less healthy (more acidic) biofilm and bacteria types. The acid they produce as their metabolic by-product when they digest food sources is responsible for the demineralization and net mineral loss of the teeth. In order to fix the problem not only does the teeth structure need to be restored but more importantly the dental biofilm needs to be restored to a healthier composition with a healthy pH. The first step in this “fix” is to identify if someone is at risk for this disease by identifying a person’s risk factors. The acronym for this process is CAMBRA (for Caries Management by Risk Assessment) and is a method used by preventive dental practitioners to asses risks and make treatment recommendations based on one’s caries risk, and therefore decrease the likelihood of developing cavities. According to evidence in many dental journals, the concept of CAMBRA methodologies has been proven to reduce decay rates in all age groups (J. Of Calif. Dental Assoc. 2003, 2007, 2011). Someone’s risk factors for caries are: • Current decay condition • Current bacterial challenge • Decay history • Dietary habits • Current daily medications • Saliva flow • Medical conditions • Presence of oral appliances/braces • Oral hygiene habits In the next few articles I will explore these risk factors so you can see if they apply to you.
: Did you know you can arrange for your favourite charity to receive a donation in the event of your death? A gift of life insurance is an easy and economical way to make a charitable contribution − a lasting testimonial of your care and concern. “There are a number of ways to provide for a gift of life insurance. The method you choose will depend on your preferences and circumstances,” says Daniel Wang, expert at The Co-operators. 1) The most common method of using life insurance to benefit a qualified charity is to simply “gift” a life insurance policy you no longer need to the charity. You can transfer ownership of the policy to a charity of your choice and receive an immediate income tax receipt for the cash surrender value of the policy. One benefit to you: A gift of life insurance may allow you to make a larger gift than you could make from your current disposable income. 2) A different option is to buy a new policy and sign it over to your charity. Again, if you make your charity the owner of the new policy, you will be entitled to tax receipts for any premium payments you make. 3) You might also choose to make the charity the beneficiary of a policy without transferring ownership. At the time of your death the charity will receive the policy proceeds and the tax benefits will accrue to your estate. There is so much to think about when planning for the future, it’s a good idea to consult an insurance professional for advice on matters pertaining to estate and gift planning. If you have any questions or want the full details about this type of coverage, please call your Co-operators financial advisor, Daniel Wang.
Outstand in
The most popular option is to add a fire feature which ads warmth and elegance to the outdoor space. There are great solutions using either natural gas or propane. You can add a fire table or fire pit to sit around or you could even add a complete fireplace wall feature to an outdoor room. Any of these solutions will create the perfect environment to entertain in and while enjoying the cooler evening with friends and family.

As a pet-friendly REALTOR® and a pet owner (dogs and cat), I am sensitive to the many things that pet-owners need to consider when buying and selling their home. The selling process can be stressful for pets as well as owners, so I do my best to minimize that stress for all members of the family. I know pets, and I know Real Estate, and I truly understand the special needs that arise. Budget for improvements to make it pet-friendly like adding fencing and updating to suitable flooring. Is the new area pet-friendly? Does the strata have pet restrictions for size, number of pets, type of pet? How close are the local dog parks, are they off-leash? Are there bylaws/rules in those parks… Is there a doggie daycare and a pet store close-by? Where do you get your new pet tags with your new address and contact info? And where do you get your municipal pet licenses? A gentle reminder before you move, please remember to add a new tag to your pets collars. Do it before you move, so that the old and the new tags are both there until you are moved in and settled. Your pets will be nervous during the packing stages and the moving process, and sometimes they go into hiding. Please also make sure that your vet has been advised of your new address and phone numbers. Do that before you move, okay? You might also consider kitty/ doggy daycare for the day before and the day of your move. That will relieve some stress from everyone… I hope these tips help your move go smoothly. Remember, I am your Pet-Friendly REALTOR®, and I LOVE my job — oh, and my Schnauzers… and Squid too!

Q: What is so bad about BYOD? A:
Q: How often should my child have an eye exam?
A:
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. Children then should receive additional eye exams at 3 years of age, and just before they enter kindergarten or the first grade at about age 5 or 6 and then yearly.
Children who need eyeglasses or contact lenses should be examined annually or according to their eye doctor’s recommendations.
604-273-3748
A:
Minoru Chiropractic
Eye exams for children are extremely important. Experts say 5 to 10 percent of pre-schoolers and 25 per cent of schoolaged children have vision problems. Early identification of a child’s vision problem is crucial because, if left untreated, some childhood vision problems can cause permanent vision loss.
Manager
need to consider when Buying and Selling Real Estate?
If so, he or she is not alone. Research shows that headaches are as much a problem for children as for adults.
Most headaches are caused when the neck vertebrae are misaligned (subluxation), which results in muscular tension, nerve irritation and possibly inflammation. The solution, of course, is NOT to take pain medication but to see your chiropractor to correct the subluxation.

Q: Has your child ever complained Headaches disrupt quality of life, from interrupting schoolwork to losing sleep. We often hear in questioning our patients, “I get a few headaches but that is normal.” This is a myth. Headaches, unless self-induced, are not normal.

BYOD stands for “Bring Your Own Device,” or to someone like myself, “Bring Your Own Nightmare.” Many companies encourage employees to use their personal laptops and smart phone devices to access the company network. From a security perspective such uncontrolled and un-monitored devices are a real threat to company networks. From a privacy perspective many companies monitor and log all incoming and outgoing network traffic and this may expose personal communication, passwords, etc. to company IT personnel. Liability issues are another issue. If your device takes down the company servers, or bankrupts the company through loss of intellectual property or financial data, then you may be liable. Worse yet, your device may be seized and searched in any civil dispute involving your employer. Never mix company and personal devices, never use company mail for personal business, keep both worlds firmly separate and you will be safer for it. For you company managers out there — BYOD is not a savings but an exercise in poor risk management.

Two of B.C.’s first enterovirus cases in Fraser region Virus can cause severe respiratory illness in children by Jeff Nagel Black Press Three B.C. residents are the province’s first lab-confirmed cases of a virus causing severe respiratory illness in children elsewhere in North America. Two of the B.C. cases of enterovirus D68 are children from the Fraser Health region, while the third is a young adult male from the Interior. Both Fraser cases were treated in Vancouver and have since been discharged from hospital. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, said there are at least three more suspected cases and it’s likely numerous others have been exposed to the virus or may have felt only minor symptoms. So far B.C. hospitals haven’t seen the sharp spike in respiratory illness that could be tied to the virus, which has stricken more than 130 children in a dozen U.S. states and at least 18 in Alberta. All indicators have been within seasonal levels, Skowronski said. “We know it’s in the community and it’s not yet associated with outbreaks,” she said. “But this may be an early warning signal to us that what’s happening elsewhere may be upon us here in B.C.” Enterovirus activity is seasonal—it peaks in summer and fall—so she said there’s a chance it could soon dissipate here. Telltale symptoms of entero-
“This may be an early warning signal to us that what’s happening elsewhere may be upon us here in B.C.” — Dr. Danuta Skowronski
virus D68 are wheezing or difficulty breathing deep in the lungs and children with past respiratory trouble, such as asthma, are believed at greater risk. Most victims don’t have a fever, Skowronksi said, adding absence of one shouldn’t be taken by parents as a sign not to worry. While most U.S. cases have involved very young pre-schoolers, B.C.’s first three cases are older, ranging from nine to 19 years of age.
Skowronski said the virus is not new —there have been outbreaks of it before—and variants circulate each year. “We shouldn’t freak out,” she said, noting there have been no deaths and all patients are expected to recover. But nor should it be dismissed, she added, because it’s causing severe illness, particularly in children, who sometimes require hospitalization and intensive care. “This may be a particularly nasty variant circulating,” she said. There’s no vaccine or specific treatment for enterovirus D68, leaving public health officials to stress the usual ways to prevent the spread of viruses—frequent handwashing, coughing into the elbow and staying home if sick with a suspected respiratory infection. Regular cleaning of surfaces at home and in schools can also help limit the spread, said Fraser Health medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti. She noted the end of the B.C. teachers strike may be a factor in the days ahead. “Kids are going back to school now so there might be more exposure or passing of the illness,” she said. “That’s a time when more germs are spread around.” Staff at Fraser facilities have been advised to be on alert to the virus and particularly to worsening conditions in children with a history of asthma, Murti said.

Permanent pet ID pays off if your four-legged friend escapes
P
ets are like four-legged members of our families. So when one goes missing, it can be profoundly stressful and frightening.
A cat was reunited with its California owners when it was turned into a B.C. SPCA shelter last year—thanks to a microchip implant identifying its guardians.
That’s why the BC SPCA encourages pet guardians to make sure their furry friends are covered—with both a visible identification tag that has the pet’s name and a phone number the guardian can be reached at, as well as permanent ID, such as an ear tattoo or a microchip implant, in case the pet loses his
collar. “Nobody wants to lose their pet. But it does happen, whether a door or window is inadvertently left open, or during a big move, or sometimes, when a loud, scary event—like fireworks—is happening nearby,” said the SPCA’s Ryan Voutilainen in a news release. In a case last year, a cat was turned in to the SPCA and because the cat had a microchip implant, staff were able to reunite her with her guardians in California, who had lost their beloved feline friend during an earlier camp-
“We cannot stress enough the importance of properly identifying your animal. And to always make sure your information is current and updated.” — Ryan Voutilainen ing trip in B.C. “They drove up as soon as they heard we had her. They were very excited to hear from us,” said Voutilainen, noting of the thousands of cats who come to shelters each year, only eight per cent are returned to their guardians due to a lack of identification.
Often, permanent pet ID can take place at the same time the animal gets spayed or neutered. Said Voutilainen: “We cannot stress enough the importance of properly identifying your animal. And to always make sure your information is current and updated.”

United Way campaign takes off at jet pull event on Sea Island Sea Island hosted a show of strength Saturday—in the name of charity. Twelve teams of 15 people each pulled a 757-200 jet weighing 58,000 kilograms 15 metres down a runway in timed trials. It was man versus machine at the fundraiser tug-ofwar hosted by UPS. Although the jet didn’t actually take flight, the event kicked off United Way of the Lower Mainland’s annual fundraising campaign. United Way will be investing a total of $25.6 million into Lower Mainland and coastal communities in 2014/15 to help children, families and seniors. An investment of $5.5 million is planned for programs and services for children under age six, $5.5 million for programs and services for children age six to 12, $1.8 million for community building and $12.7 million for programs and services for seniors, which includes funding for the provincial seniors program Better at Home. “When you give to United Way, you are helping people right here in your community where you live, work, learn and play,” said Michael McKnight, president and CEO of United Way of the Lower Mainland. “We use our collective strength to maximize
our donors’ dollars and multiply our impact to help build a better future for our community.”
United Way is a charitable organization established over 80 years ago to support families, children and seniors in
need. Last year, the charity helped 400,000 people in the Lower Mainland, according to a news release.

Rosh Hashanah
Plenty of page-turners to jump-start Jewish new year feasts
Book Club
Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of good reads cooking on bookshelves for those preparing Rosh Hashanah feasts.

R
osh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, is right around the corner and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too early to start cooking. Since Rosh Hashanah is all about having a sweet new year, many of the traditional foods have a sweet component to themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like sweet cheese kugel, challah with raisins, honey cake, and sweet carrot tzimmes. Lots of people like to stick to their mothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tried and true recipes and others like to go with nouvelle cuisine. At the library, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for every Jewish cook. One particularly interesting cookbookâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cooking From Memory: a Journey Through Jewish Foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;includes recipes suitable for Rosh Hashanah (or any time), that come from Asia, the Middle East, Western and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Americas. With delicious offerings like lamb casserole with prunes and Moroccan fish balls these recipes mix his-
tory and geography with gastronomy. Olive Trees and Honey: a Treasury of Vegetarian Recipes from Jewish Communities Around the World also contains yummy recipes which will please the vegetarians at your table. For instance, Italian artichoke soup could be substituted for the traditional chicken soup. And Italian spinach with pine nuts and raisins would be a nice break from the usual carrot tzimmes. Hip Kosher: 175 Easyto-prepare Recipes for Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kosher Cooks contains some dishes that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see on a Jewish holiday table. For instance the Lime and Macadamia nutcrusted turkey cutlets with tropical salsa, or the roasted pistachiocrusted salmon are not exactly cookiecutter Rosh Hashanah dishes, but they sure sound tasty! For those on glutenfree diets, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new book called Nosh on This: Gluten-Free Baking From a JewishAmerican Kitchen. Using gluten-free egg noodles (made from brown and white rice

flour) thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recipe for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite Rosh Hashanah comfort food, pineapple raisin noodle kugel. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a recipe for challah rolls that uses rice flour and tapioca starch, and the apple upsidedown cake with honey pomegranate syrup looks absolutely scrumptious! For kids who want to help out in the
kitchen, check out The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewish Holiday Kitchen. The recipes are decidedly easy, and they even provide a list of all the equipment needed for each recipe. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great about this book is that it specifies which steps are for kids and which ones are for adults, keeping safety front of mind. The only down side to this book is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bereft of pictures. In Confessions of a Kitchen Rebbetzin there are a bunch of weird and wonderful dishes, many of them from the Middle East, but one of them caught my eye: the Messarmal fish, which sounds like a really tasty alternative to gefilte fish. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Jewish Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen which focuses on

traditional Jewish recipes. And finally, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jerusalem: a Cookbook, which is nothing short of spectacular!

Rep versus rec: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of goals by Don Fennell Sports Editor
W
hile the dream plays out for a select few, the majority of young hockey players are forced to eventually come to terms with realityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a career in the pros isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the cards. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly no reason to abandon the dreamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their goal. And certainly no reason to give up the game they love. What is important is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re provided with an opportunity to play. The rep or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stream has traditionally been viewed as the chosen path to high-level hockey. But increasingly, and for a variety of reasons, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; level or house hockey is being seen as an excellent alternative to rep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rep players may become NHL players, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; players who become the owners,â&#x20AC;? says Seafair Minor Hockey executive director Ken Hamaguchi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey is underrated. With more rep-calibre players now playing house hockey, the quality has improved considerably. And in10 years the majority of the rep and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; players will be playing side by side in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league.â&#x20AC;? Hamaguchi also says some kids, or their parents, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to or are unable to make the commitment in time or money typically required of a rep player and his or her family. Others also dislike the intensity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey they get to play a brand of hockey that is less expensive and less time consuming, and for many a much more enjoyable atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And some kids have many options and want to play more than one sport. Even if they are good enough for rep, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more attractive to play â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and leave time to play the other sports.â&#x20AC;?
Don Fennell photo Whether a young athlete opts to play rep or house hockey, the choice should be theirs and based on their goals, says Tony Lindsay, director of development for the Richmond Ravens girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ice hockey association.
Seafair president Nigel Shackles believes another likely reason for the increasing number of players shifting to house hockey is better education around body checking at the young ages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think parents, and by extension players, gave it too much thought before but I now think we are all a little better educated about the role of body checking and the need to confine it to certain levels of play,â&#x20AC;? says Shackles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In watching last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peewee rep games I
was amazed by the speed and skill of the kids, free from having to initiate a full-on body check. The game was still physical but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find myself having to wince in fear of injury as much as I used to in watching young kids play at that level and at that age.â&#x20AC;? Shackles says he knows of at least a few examples where kids, who typically in past years would have gone from Peewee rep to Bantam rep, deciding that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey is better for them.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trend yet or not because we are still only talking a handful of kids. But while it almost never used to happen at least it is now,â&#x20AC;? he says. Shackles says he thinks the thought process might also be starting to stick in some parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having delayed the introduction of body checking, we might now start to see more parents, past the crazy Atom and Peewee years, put more emphasis on
their kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health and enjoyment of the game,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than likely that is why you are seeing some kids, and parents, actively choose to go straight to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; level hockey even when they have already played rep all through their Atom and Peewee years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting phenomenon because it runs counter to what immediately happened when body checking was removed at the Peewee level in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey but not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey.â&#x20AC;?

Athletes are better educated on their options From Page 41
“The season after that rule change we were seeing many more levels of Peewee rep teams, from a variety of associations, just so more kids would not miss out on body checking,” continued Shackles. “So you would see A3, A4 and even A5 level teams where none existed before. Now, with that battle seemingly over and body checking having been removed from all Peewee hockey, we seem to be seeing some sanity return and parents realizing that rep hockey...is not the be all and end all of minor hockey.” Shackles is “heartened” by the fact that some kids, however small in number, are now making decisions about what is best for them individually and for some body checking is not something they need in their game. For others it is, and they continue in the rep stream. “But, like I always say, a rep player is still a million miles away from being in the NHL, and a house player is a million and one miles.”
Patti Martin, president of the Richmond Ravens, the local girls’ hockey association, respects everyone’s right to make decisions that work for them. That includes that sometimes, because of time constraints, players who are good enough to play rep make the choice to play house. “Often academic standing or just the challenge of school becomes a bigger focus, or possibly even another sport, “ she says. “Our board still values their commitment to our association and hockey. And now with the increases we have seen in female hockey player numbers, we are fortunate at our C1 level to still offer a very competitive option for those players. Our mandate has always been to offer hockey to everyone that wants to play, whether you are the strongest or newest player to hockey we strive to find a team that fits your needs. We do our best to make sure the experience is fun and rewarding for all players at all levels of both ability
and time commitment.” In his involvement with female hockey, Tony Lindsay wears a number of different hats—director of hockey development with the Ravens, head coach of the Bantam AAA rep team and the parent of a Bantam house player. He says one thing he’s learned is the importance to recognize that all players play for different reasons. “In my view, because of this, it is very important that our association provide two clear streams for our players—a competitive stream and a recreational stream,” says Lindsay. “On the competitive side, players want to enjoy the game and have a great social experience, but they also want to compete at the highest level. They want to fully develop their individual skills and are willing to spend the extra time to do so. They want to be challenged, and they often aspire to play one day at a higher level, including university. For the recreational player, their reasons for playing, while

similar in many respects, often have a much different weighting attached to each reason.” Playing with friends in a less competitive and pressure-filled environment is often preferred, says Lindsay. Recreational programs are also advantageous to individuals who want to spend less time at hockey than the competitive programs
require, so that they can pursue other interests, including other sports or other activities. “So when addressing a question of rep versus house, I would never argue that one experience is better than the other,” he says. “(For parents) understand the difference between the emotional, physical and time requirements of a competitive
program versus a recreational program, and then understand from your child what their goals and expectations are. Then assess which stream is the most appropriate one for them to pursue. The interests and the goals of the child must come first.” In a recent interview with The Richmond Review, Vancouver Canucks’ defenceman Kevin Bieksa
said “the reason most guys I’ve seen that make it to the NHL is because they really enjoy the game. My dad never had to force me to go to one practice when I was a kid. I always enjoyed being on the ice. There’s a lot of time to put pressure on yourself, but when you’re a kid have fun and be a sponge and learn from all the people you can.”

Natalie Long, Langara soccer Natalie Long had a fantastic weekend helping the Langara Falcons secure four points in the Pacific Western Athletic Association women’s soccer league standings. The Falcons tied the Capilano Blues on Saturday, and squeezed out a 2-1 win against the Quest University Kermodes on Sunday. On Saturday, Long, a graduate of Richmond Secondary School, not only helped anchor a stingy Langara back line—which really limited the Blues’ scoring opportunities—she also scored Langara’s only goal in the 1-1 tie as she calmly converted a penality kick in the first half. On Sunday, Long again led a strong back line that continually stifled the Quest attack, stepping up to win ball after ball. Long was a force in the air defensively and she used her prowess on offence to head home Langara’s second goal of the game midway through the second half from a well-placed corner kick.
Max Tagesen, Quest soccer Max Tagesen, a rookie forward with the Squamish-based Quest University Kermodes, is this week’s Pacific Western Athletic Association male athlete of the week. The R.A. McMath Secondary School graduate was a key component over the weekend in which the Kermodes picked up four points. After a 1-1 tie at Kwantlen on Saturday, Quest regrouped by beating the Langara Falcons 2-1 in Squamish on Sunday. Tagesen scored the game-winning goal which ended a long losing streak and earned the Kermodes their first Pacific Western league win since October 2011, a winless streak that spanned 32 games. On Sunday, with the Kermodes leading 1-0, and 10 minutes left in regulation time, Langara equalized. But then the Kermodes’ urgency and quick ball movement got them into scoring range. When the opportunity presented itself, Tagesen punched in a left footed shot to take the lead. The Kermodes were able to hold the lead through the last minutes for the win, moving them into a playoff spot in the standings.

Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.
co BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

For the last several years, the Connaught Skating Club has been growing by leaps and bounds. And this year, the competitive programs reflect the growing numbers too. To meet the demands, the club, under the guidance of director of program Keegan Murphy, has added two new coaches to its staff for the 2014-15 season. Both come with impressive resumes. Matt MacMurdo arrives having been a competitive and professional skater for the past 18 years. He also represented Eastern Ontario as a sectional and divisional champion as well as being a five-time national level competitor in the Novice, Junior and Senior Divisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt was the 1999 Canada Winter Games champion and represented Canada at the 1997 North American Challenge,â&#x20AC;? said Murphy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a strong competitive background, he is also a Skate Canada technical specialist, a very useful tool for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches to develop competitive skaters.â&#x20AC;? Travelling to 85 countries, he has gained invaluable experience as a performer and hopes to impart this performance knowledge as a coach at Connaught, Murphy said. Kristen MacKenzie (Avis) is a former Canadian champion in the Pre-Novice and Novice Division categories and went on to represent Canada as a junior. Following her competitive career, she began coaching at Burnaby 8 Rinks and then relocated to Melbourne, Australia for the past five years to coach abroad. She looks forward to bringing her knowledge of triple jumps and international experience to the Richmond club. Connaught skaters are coming off a successful summer, highlighted by the BC SummerSkate last month in Burnaby where local athletes combined for 16 medals and 28 top-five placements. Twenty-eight of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skaters are now preparing to compete in the annual Autumn Leaves event Oct. 17 to 19 in Kamloops. This event is the final preparation for the B.C./Yukon sectional championships in November. As well, one of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful and wellknown skaters, Mitchell Gordon, will be heading to Dresden, Germany in two weeks to represent Canada in an international competition. He gained a strong seventh-place finish in late August at an event in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Connaught also has a solid and popular CanSkate program, with sessions held Mondays and Wednesdays at 5:15 p.m. Saturday at 10 a.m. and Sunday at 10:45 a.m. at Minoru Arenas. Registration is open year-round at www.connaughtsc.com.

GVHBA Fall Renovation Show kicks off on October 4 By Kerry Vital
If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam. Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information
and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute oneon-one consultations to homeowners looking for assistance. Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends,
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Renovating versus New Build and Designing for Small Spaces. A list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Morningstar Homes is bringing their single-family home expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood, a collection of homes with some amazing curb appeal and great features, including a gorgeous kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing.
The Village at Southwood delivers wow factor By Kerry Vital
Morningstar Homes has a reputation for being one of the top single-family builders in the Lower Mainland, with beautiful homes in several communities. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood. “South Surrey is one of the most soughtafter places to live,” says Deborah Calahan,
vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There are so many amenities in the area. It’s close to great recreation like the new aquatic centre, good schools, the ocean, shopping, dining and the United States. It’s truly got it all!” The three-bedroom homes at The Village at Southwood are built in a contemporary West Coast style, with generous use of stucco, stone and wood that combines for some serious
curb appeal. Each home has a large private backyard for leisure time with the family. Inside, the spacious open floorplans range from 2,570 to 2,615 square feet, with an unfinished basement that gives buyers the option to include a deluxe finished basement or legal suite. The vaulted ceilings and window seats are just two beautiful details in the homes. Like all Morningstar homes, the kitchen is a highlight. “The kitchen is king in our homes,” Calahan says. The Village at Southwood kitchens include large granite islands perfect for entertaining or family meals, as well as high-end stainless-
steel appliances. Natural light is prevalent throughout the homes due to the huge windows. Gorgeous glass-paneled stairwells add to the open feel and contemporary look of the home. Another stunning addition is the linear gas fireplace in the living area. Upstairs, the master suite is an oasis, with a wall-to-wall seam-less glass shower enclosure with sitting bench, two hand-held wands and a large rain shower head. “The ensuite makes you feel like you’re on vacation at a luxury spa!” Calahan says. “They feel so extravagant.” Morningstar is offering several options to homeowners, allowing them to truly make their home their own. Among them are an indulgent steam shower, Nu Heat flooring in the master ensuite and main bathroom, an electric linear fireplace to add ambiance to either a master bedroom or den and a stateof-the-art four-zone Sono audio system. “There’s even some outdoor living choices like a garden bench with planters and faux grass for low-maintenance yards!” Calahan says. “People really appreciate that.” The homes opened for sale in August, and have already been very popular with buyers. “There has been an amazing response so far,” says Calahan. Part of the appeal is the neighbourhood. Close to the amenities of Morgan Crossing, nearly anything you can imagine is within walking or easy driving distance, and Highway 99 is just moments away. Recreation opportunities at Crescent Beach or one of the numerous golf courses and parks are all nearby. The exciting Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is due to open next year. And kids can walk to the new elementary school that is slated to open in the near future located just down the street. “It’s really special,” Calahan says. “We’re really thrilled to be here.” For more information, visit www. mstarhomes.com, call 604-560-3450 or visit the presentation centre and three showhomes, located at 16708 23rd Avenue, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 6 p.m.

sports There’s still a chance for Bantams and Midgets to play ball Bantam- and Midget-aged baseball players in Richmond can still squeeze in some fall ball this year. Through mid-October, Richmond City Baseball is offering the opportunity to suit up under the guidance of past-Chuckers’ Midget AAA coaches Serj Sangara, Raul Verde Rios, Matt Winograd and David Clarke. The fall ball program will consist of exhibition games (provided numbers allow),

If numbers do not warrant scheduling games with other associations, plans are afoot to offer all players a “personal baseball training opportunity.” For more information contact Sangara at serj@shaw.ca.

Richmond talents will be key as Greater Vancouver squad begins promising 2014-15 campaign this weekend at oval by Don Fennell Sports Editor Optimism is always at its peak at this time of the year, just before the start of a new season. And so it is with the Greater Vancouver Canadians as they look to improve on a successful 2013-14 campaign that saw them finish fourth with a 19-18-3 record and reach the semifinals in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. With the likes of top Swift Current Broncos’ prospect Owen Seidel expected to again start this season with the Canadians, the Canadians have the potential to light the goal lamp with great regularity. Seidel, 16, had 10 goals and 26 assists in
40 games with the Canadians last season. The puck drops on the new year this weekend, with the Canadians hosting South Island Royals at 4:45 p.m. Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The teams return to the oval Sunday for a 10 a.m. game. Richmond is also contributing eight other talented players to the Canadians’ lineup. Returning are forwards Gary Dhaliwal (11 points in 39 games last season) and Ryan Wilkinson (17 points in 36 games), while Alex McLeod, Jordan Sandhu, Michael Tilbury, Sami Pharaon, EJ Shaw—all forwards— and Thomas Van Schoenberg—both defencemen—are all set to make their debuts.
