Crime rings compiling list of homes prime for break-ins

40 PAGES

Thieves terrorize couple during home invasion Pair were tied up while bandits stole jewelry and cash

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Brinder Johal’s instincts paid off, and he’s crediting BlockWatch and his smartphone with helping him catch a teenage thief who snatched his laptop computer, hunting knife and a case of beer from his Steveston Highway home in late August. After reading Wednesday’s The Richmond Review, about a rash of break-ins in Steveston in recent weeks, he thought he’d share with the broader community the alarming intelligence he gathered after questioning the young man. It was late on Monday, Aug. 25, shortly before midnight, when Johal heard his garage door open. Already aware that somebody had broken into nearby homes, Johal was on alert, he said Thursday. So when he investigated, he found the redhanded thief in his garage, but the teen bolted. Johal managed to tackle the youngster a few houses away, and with the help of a neighbour who works in security, they handcuffed the suspect. According to the tearful 17-year-old, who was later taken into custody by Richmond Mounties, there’s at least one crime ring that canvasses neighbourhoods, looking for darkened homes, unlocked doors and windows and signs of neglect, and is compiling a list of prime targets.

Daniel MacHolm rescued a quintet of orphaned skunks while delivering The Richmond Review.

Review carrier provides helping hand to wildlife Orphaned skunks rescued from street by boy and his newspaper wagon by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Daniel MacHolm loaded bundles of The Richmond Review into his wagon and set out to deliver the paper in his East Richmond neighbourhood of Hamilton. But this would be no ordinary delivery day for

Daniel, one of approximately 350 Review carriers being recognized—ahead of next week’s Carrier Appreciation Week—for their significant role with Richmond’s longest running newspaper. Delivering papers along Sharpe Avenue, the 12-year-old Hamilton Elementary School student spotted something small and striped scramble into a hole of a concrete barrier. It was a baby skunk. Looking weak, and with no mother in sight, Daniel scooped one up, then another, and gently placed them in his newspaper wagon. “I like animals quite a bit, and I didn’t want them to die,” said Daniel, who delivers 331 newspapers with mom Linda MacHolm’s help, most before school. See Page 26

A Monday night break-in turned violent when two men kicked down the front door of a young family’s house at McCutcheon Place and assaulted the homeowner who was roused from his sleep around 8:15 p.m. Minutes later, when the victim’s wife returned from work, she was brought to her husband and tied up alongside him as the thieves ransacked the home and searched for valuables including cash and jewelry. It wasn’t until the couple told the bandits their young children were soon returning home, that the assailants left. But by then, the damage had already been done. The homeowner, who asked that his family’s name not be published, told The Richmond Review that he and his wife were still feeling traumatized by the incident. He said he was home alone Monday, getting some rest before a late shift, when he heard a commotion at the front of the house, initially dismissing it as his children returning home and kicking the soccer ball around downstairs. Not a single light in the house was on at the time, he recalled, which might have made it seem from the sidewalk as though nobody was home. After hearing more loud bangs coming from downstairs, he got up and peeked out his bedroom door to see two tall masked men with medium builds and wearing hoodies storming down the hallway toward him. He screamed for them to get out of his house and then closed the door, but the men forced their way in, with one of them punching him in the face, and then repeatedly striking him in the head as the pair overpowered him. Restrained and unable to call for help, he was ordered to remain still and quiet, and they threatened to kill him. They then snatched the gold chain from around his neck, and took his wedding ring. Perhaps 10 minutes later, his wife returned home, but came through a different entrance, and didn’t see the damaged front door. See Page 9

The Green Edition: Our annual feature on environmental topics in Richmond.

Corvus Energy using tech to help businesses go green Batteries help reduce emissions and fuel costs, lower maintenance costs, and improve efficiency by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A local technology firm is making international waves in the marine industry with its lithium ion batteries that deliver not just fuel and maintenance savings but reduced environmental emissions as well.

Grant Brown from Corvus Energy Limited, whose specially-designed lithium ion batteries are turning heads.

From a firm with just six employees five years ago, Corvus Energy Limited has experienced significant growth to the point that today it employs 60 at its headquarters on Delf Place, where manufacturing, research and development take place. Grant Brown, vice president of global marketing, said the company has focused on the marine industry, where daily fuel consumption remains high, and which requires high power delivery in its energy needs. Last August, Corvus supplied a Dutch liquefied natural gas ferry with its specially-designed batteries to improve its efficiency and reduce environmental emissions. That ferry’s engines don’t work nearly as efficiently as the ferry begins to move, Brown explained, at a point when it needs the most power to get its momentum moving forward. Thanks to the batteries from Corvus, the ferry’s engines serve to charge those batteries when in their highest efficiency mode, so that the battery’s energy can be used to get the ferry moving initially when those engines work least efficiently. “That’s where the batteries shine,” Brown said, noting the batteries are capable of heavy discharge and charge rates. The ferry is also outfitted with solar panels. Aside from saving fuel and reducing emissions, Corvus’ batteries are zero-maintenance and can reduced a vessel’s maintenance by a third. And companies who are investing in Corvus’ batteries are eager for the fast return on investment the systems promise. In the marine industry in Northern Europe, the batteries are designed for a 10-year lifespan but expect to beat that figure. Meanwhile, the systems can pay for themselves in less than four years—depending on a vessel’s fuel consumption rate—with a promise of 25 per cent fuel savings. Corvus employes lithium cells designed and manufactured in Korea, which are robust, capable of supplying high amounts of power, but don’t overheat.

Walmart created this one-of-a-kind prototype vehicle, WAVE—which has a hybrid power system that includes lithium-ion batteries from Richmond-based Corvus Energy—that could revolutionize its trucking industry by promising major fuel savings and reduced emissions.

Combined with Corvus’ in-house design and battery management system, they believe they’ve created a winner. The success of Corvus’ products in the marine industry have not gone unnoticed elsewhere. Earlier this year, Corvus was selected to participate in creating a prototype vehicle for American retail giant Walmart. The one-of-a-kind hybrid truck features a sleek, novel design, and is powered by a made-in-Richmond energy storage system courtesy Corvus. With Walmart’s fleet of more than 7,000 trucks, the hybrid truck (tinyurl.com/CorvusWalmart) hold the promise of saving thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions, as well as a long-term return on investment. Walmart’s prototype truck is named WAVE (Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience) and was created in partnership with Peterbilt, Great Dane Trailer, Capstone Turbine and Corvus Energy.

Shift to plug-in cars is key to city strategy ‘Big breakthrough’ in electric vehicle use needed to make big impact on greenhouse gases by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond City Hall is promoting electric vehicles as part of its ambitious goal to lesson the local impact on the environment. This summer the city signed on with Emotive, an electric vehicle promotion campaign, funded by Metro Vancouver, the province and other agencies. The outreach campaign promotes the use of electric vehicles, and was out at summer events that included the Richmond Maritime Festival, Steveston Dragon Boat Festival and International Summer Night Market. “By increasing the use of electric vehicles, Richmond can more rapidly achieve the targeted greenhouse gas reductions,” said Brendan McEwen, the city’s manager of sustainability, in a recent staff report. Several electric vehicle charging stations were installed around the city last year, in parking lots

of community centres and city hall. In the first nine months of operation, the stations had been used 967 times—approximately four times each day across the stations. Additional charging stations at the works yard and city hall have also been installed to accommodate the city’s four electric vehicles. Richmond’s Official Community Plan lays out greenhouse gas reduction targets of 33 per cent by 2020, and 80 per cent by 2050—below 2007 levels. The city’s Community Energy and Emissions Plan notes a widespread shift to zero carbon vehicles is the “big breakthrough” strategy necessary for Richmond to reach those targets—noting vehicle use now accounts for approximately half of all local emissions. Beyond installing charging stations, the city also has a policy requiring new multi-family residential developments to ensure at least 45 per cent of parking stalls be built to accommodate future charging stations. Some larger commercial projects are also on board, including the Walmart mall, which includes “provisions for electric vehicle charging infrastructure,” according to McEwen’s report. According to the Emotive campaign, the use of electric vehicle charging stations across B.C. has doubled in the past year.

It features an extended-range electric powertrain, comprising a micro-turbine and a lithium-polymer energy storage system. The batteries provide power for the truck’s systems when the vehicle is waiting for a few hours to drop off a load, but also deliver the energy for a limited number of miles of stop-andgo driving, like what might be experienced in a busy shipping terminal or a traffic jam. Walmart’s vehicle is designed to be 20 per cent more aerodynamic, and its microturbine powertrain can run on diesel, natural gas or biodiesel. If all 18-wheel trucks in the U.S. were as efficient as WAVE, America would consume nearly 300 million fewer barrels of oil and spend nearly $30 billion less on fuel annually. Brown said Corvus provides high-quality, full-time jobs in the high-tech sector, mainly in the fields of mechanical, electrical and software engineering.. “We’re constantly on the hunt for new and talented people,” Brown said.

Rebate programs proving popular with residents 4,511 toilet rebates have been issued since the program began in 2010 by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter More and more Richmond residents are switching to water-saving toilets and washers, according to new city numbers. City council will vote next week on allocating more cash to a city rebate program, which continues to show demand. The city has issued 4,511 toilet rebates since 2010, including 512 so far this year, with demand being fuelled by homeowners switching to metered water service, according to a staff report. The program offers a $100 utility bill rebate to homeowners who purchase and install certain low-flush toilets. And this year, the city partnered with BC Hydro on a clothes washer rebate program for two promotions encouraging homeowners to switch to water and energy efficient washing machines. In a month-long promotion in May, 173 rebates were issued—a figure that was higher than expected, according to the

city’s manager of engineering planning Lloyd Bie. The agreement offers matching rebates from the city and the utility company of $100 or $200. “The city partnered with BC Hydro for the clothes washer rebate program that benefits both organizations through reduced water and power consumption,” noted Bie in his report. Homeowners can also qualify for rebates this month—this year’s second promotion, for which civic politicians are being asked to approve additional funding to meet demand. A further rebate is also available this month through a partnership between BC Hydro, Samsung and Home Depot, worth $400 on Samsung models purchased at Home Depot.

Solution for Denture Sufferers

green news

Regional recycling rate hits 60 per cent by Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver’s recycling rate climbed to 60 per cent in 2013, up from 58 per cent a year earlier, but it remains well short of a 70 per cent target the regional district is committed to reaching next year. The improvement last year came almost entirely from a four per cent increase in the single family residential recycling rate, which Metro officials attribute to the move to mandatory organic food waste pickup for those homes and a decrease in the frequency of garbage pickup to just biweekly in some communities. “We’ve achieved a lot but there’s still a long way to go,” Metro solid waste manager Paul Henderson said. Improved recycling of at least 70 per cent is a key assumption Metro has made in estimating it must build a new waste-to-energy plant capable of handling 370,000 tonnes per year of garbage that the region would no longer truck to the Cache Creek landfill. A higher aspirational target of 80 per cent diversion by 2020 would reduce but not eliminate the need for a potential second incinerator. Recycling diversion rates for multi-family residential and industrial/commercial were virtually unchanged, at 28 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively. Officials hope those categories improve next year. A broadened ban on the dumping of organics — which make up a big slice of the waste stream—takes effect Jan. 1, extending mandatory food waste pickup to major business generators such as restaurants, grocers and other food handlers. A ban on the disposal of clean wood is also going ahead, which would target the demolition and construction sector, where there’s already a high recycling rate of 76 per cent. Henderson said there may also be modest gains as a result of some additional types of containers now being collected curbside by Multi Material BC, which

launched in the spring. As with other disposal bans imposed by Metro, the new ones will be policed by inspectors at transfer stations. Inspectors will issue warnings at first, but by mid2015 they’ll levy a 50 per cent surcharge on any load containing too much organic waste. The cost of fines is expected to spur waste haulers to in turn police their customers. The maximum proportion of organic waste in a load without incurring a surcharge will start at 25 per cent next year before dropping to 10 per cent in 2016 and five per cent in 2017. The phased approach is expected to target the biggest food waste generators first and then gradually capture more businesses, pressing them to comply. A long list of materials are already banned, from paper and cardboard, to electronics and mattresses. But a Metro report warns all of the region’s disposal bans will “become ineffective” if the provincial government doesn’t approve Bylaw 280. The waste-flow bylaw would outlaw commercial haulers from sending garbage out of the region – usually first to Abbotsford and then south to U.S. landfills – thereby evading Metro’s higher tipping fees and its disposal bans. The bylaw was passed by Metro’s board a year ago and is still awaiting Environment Minister Mary Polak’s decision, amid intense lobbying from haulers who oppose it. Many critics claim the regulation aims to justify a new incinerator by penning up garbage in the region to feed it, but Metro officials insist the bylaw is essential or its waste servics will be underfunded and steady improvements in recycling will be unwound. Henderson has been warning for more than a year that an initial trickle of waste flowing out of the region threatens to turn into a flood.

Are you ready for an earthquake? The City of Richmond is hosting three FREE Get Ready Richmond – personal preparedness workshops after the ShakeOut BC exercise.

visit to the Richmond Nature Park is akin to stepping back in time. And it’s often described that way by park interpreters.

But, more accurately, the park represents a time continuum—an environment emerging from the last ice age 25,000 years ago that— affected by ever-changing ecology, has evolved into what exists today. Sitting in her office within the 200-acre park, geographically almost exactly in the centre of the island, co-ordinator Kristine Bauder is surrounded by a unique blend of nature that has largely disappeared from much of the rest of Richmond. “Up to half of Richmond was once bog, a peculiar sort of wet land that is typically found in much colder regions,” she says. “It’s often referred to as an arctic remnant.” Bog began to spawn on Lulu Island about 8,000 years ago, following the creation of the delta that formed as the ice began retreating. It took that

long for the delta lands to rise high enough to set the stage of early plant growth and some deposition of soil and organic matter. “Lulu Island didn’t exist prior to the last (ice) age,” says Bauder. “The plate we’re sitting on was actually pushed down by ice weight and where Richmond is now was actually under the ocean. As the ice melted the weight was lifted and the land started to rise again, and the sentiments from the retreating glacier washed down stream. It’s why we have Lulu Island

at the mouth of the Fraser River where the fresh and salt water merged.” The first things that would have grown on the emerging islands would likely have been similar to what one would find today on the outer edges of Richmond, still affected by the ocean tide. Bauder says the soft soil conditions and high wave action would have gone on thousands of years before enough sediment accumulated, along with increasingly drier conditions, to set the stage for another community

of plants to tolerate the changing conditions. Eventually enough water—that wasn’t being washed away by the tide—accumulated in the centre of the island that a keystone species in a bog began springing up. Sphagnum moss typically grows only in colder areas, such as those found today in the Yukon, with an average temperature 10 to 15 degrees Celsius cooler than in the Lower Mainland. A spongy, extremely slow-growing plant, sphagnum doesn’t look like much but Bauder says it greatly influences its immediate community producing an acidiclike environment (dead sphagnum, also known as peat) which is ideal for growing cranberries and blueberries for which Richmond is renowned. While it is still fairly common at the nature park, its presence is rapidly diminishing. “We’re seeing some real changes in the bog in the last 20 years, and we’re losing some altogether,” says Bauder. “We haven’t seen seen any sun dew in three years, a result of many factors including a dropping water level.” Where bog is common in a cold environment such as the Yukon and Northwest Territories, says Bauder, this far south it’s rare. But as it began to warm here following the ice age, the wet, squishy-like conditions where water pooled and remained undisturbed for thousands of years, proved to be a perfect breeding ground.

green news Nature Park programs Cranberry Sale: This weekend’s annual cranberry sale is one of the most important fundraisers of the year at the Richmond Nature Park. Proceeds from the Richmond Nature Park Society’s annual sale this Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. will help support educational and public programs in the park. Wild Things: Another popular upcoming activity is Wild Things, scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 25 and 26 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each evening. Follow a trail of jack-o-lanterns and meet the creatures that make Halloween fun and a little bit scary. An adult must accompany the kids. $10 admission. No dogs allowed: Being a very fragile environment, dogs and other pets are not permitted in the nature park. As well, visitors must stay not he marked trails. And no plants, plant parts or animals are to be removed for the park. You are also advised not to feed the resident animals. Interpretive centre: An interpretive centre is located near the park entrance at 11851 Westminster Highway, just west of No. 5 Road. It features interactive displays and games. There is also a small collection of live animals and a gift shop. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with admission by donation. Park entrance is free from 7 a.m. to sunset daily. Park Society: Working in partnership with the City of Richmond, the Richmond Nature Park Society oversees the park operations. It is a non-profit organization aimed at promoting natural history in Richmond.

Bogs are being heavily affected by human activity From Page 6 “We have wonderful peat soils in Richmond because of the fact this area was once largely bog,” says Bauder. “But, as a result of a combination of things, regretfully I think we’re going to lose a lot of the bogs, not just on Lulu Island but throughout the Fraser River low lands. “Richmond is being heavily affected by human activity, and we’re the only city in Canada that has a dyke around its entire circumference. To have a thriving bog you need a very high water table, and throughout Richmond that’s being reduced.” As humans, we have a huge desire to want to preserve things as they were, which Bauder

says in part explains the attraction to the bog habitat that helps to define the nature park. She credits the vision and determination of a dedicated group of people in the early 1960s for the nature park’s existence. In 1962 the citizens encouraged the city to consider acquiring 217 acres of federal land for park use. It took until 1968, however, when Will Paulik, secretary of the Richmond Rod & Gun Club, co-authored and submitted a proposal for the use of the land that plans finally started to take shape for the nature park. Today, the Richmond Nature Park is one of only two such centres—the other being the Lynn Valley

Ecology Centre in North Vancouver—in the Lower Mainland. “With the value of land and its lack of availability, to have a big piece of land like this is significant,” says Bauder, who with colleagues is resolved to continue to make the nature park relevant to residents and future generations. Bauder says the park averages about 80,000 visits per year, with most of those including a visit to the nature house interpretation centre. She says besides a well-established and popular series of education programs, and many visits from elementary school classes, many more people are visiting the park after school hours.

“It’s becoming the backyard for a lot of people and that’s a new new angle for us to explore,” she says. “We’re hoping to perhaps change our play area and make it more welcoming for families, and to provide even more for kids to do—encouraging them to explore from there.”

ancouver, BC, October 2nd—A single vehicle crash on Main Street near East 49th kills two of the passengers; October 3rd—A cyclist hits and kills a pedestrian crossing Stanley Park Drive near the Totem Poles; October 4th—A fiery collision between a Volkswagen Beetle and a truck on the Lions Gate bridge shuts down the bridge for at least two mid-day hours and snarls traffic throughout the North Shore and into the downtown core with reports of many hospitalized … October is off to a very bad start in terms of road carnage throughout the Lower Mainland. The number of traffic related fatalities for 2014 has now reached from five to eight. The three latest victims were all elderly: an 82-year-old man and a 74-yearold woman in the single vehicle crash, and a 71-year-old male pedestrian. 70 may be the ‘new 60’ in lots of ways but elderly people are more fragile and less resilient no matter how young at heart they appear to be. But beyond this there appear to be no other common factors. Investigators will check for all the usual contributing factors: drug or alcohol-impaired drivers, distracted drivers, drivers suffering acute medical conditions, speeding drivers, passengers not wearing seatbelts, vehicles with mechanical problems, adverse road

conditions…all the usual factors. Although it is unlikely we will ever learn the final conclusions regarding causation, almost certainly, one way or another, these deaths could have been avoided. Bad runs of traffic crashes happen from time to time and there are many motivators for trying to make some sense of them. Most obvious is the need to find the cause and avoid repetition. Our road traffic system is so intertwined with our lives that we take it for granted. We enjoy the benefits it provides of easy and fast connectivity. In all of human history there has never been a time when more people have been able to ‘go places’, ‘get around’, ‘travel’ near and far more easily, more quickly, cheaply and indeed safely— or at least without incident for long intervals. We may be lulled into complacency. We let down our guard. But then, suddenly, whether on our own account or through the media, there it is again, the reminder—a small event or a catastrophe — that embedded in this marvelous system is the ever-present potential for risk to materialize. Its not a perfect world, by any means. To quell our fears and do our best to stay safe and prevent ‘bad runs’ we have devised many responses, but in the main, we keep statistics. Such records allow us to find what patterns, if any, exist and to learn what counter-measures work best. Accurate and timely tabulation of statistics relating to road safety is a proven key component of the interpretative process— of trying to make sense of bad runs, of trying to understand what happened so that we can avoid it in the future. Identify a repeating problem, and solve it.

he countdown is ﬁnally over, Conversations With My Mother by local playwrights Stacey Kaser and Alison Kelly opens tonight at Gateway Theatre. In celebration of this exciting event we bring you Fun Fact Friday on the people who run the show.

Did You Know…? The stage manager of the show, Lorilyn Parker, was a part of the stage management team for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Drew Facey, the set designer for the show, won the Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for Outstanding Set Design for last season’s production of ‘Art’ at the Gateway. In total Drew owns 9 Jessie Awards. The director of Conversations With My Mother, Katrina Dunn, was born and grew up in Richmond and is the artistic director of Vancouver-based theatre company, Touchstone Theatre. This will be Katrina’s ﬁrst time working at Gateway Theatre. During the show there will be 5 backstage crew members that won’t be seen by the audience but will be working just as hard as the 3 actors onstage. Patti Allan, playing the role of the mother, was last seen on Gateway Theatre’s stage in December 2012 playing the mother in Fiddler on the Roof. It took over 275 man-hours to paint and build the set.

EDITORIAL: Priorities skewed in transportation plan

he provincial government has asked residents to take part in discussions about improvements to the transportation system over the next 10 years. While public consultation is always a good idea, the province’s On The Move document, which provides information to guide public discussion, is missing some key elements. While it makes reference to BC Ferries and to the Metro Vancouver transit system, neither

is part of the discussion the ministry wants to have. Bridge tolls are completely ignored. The guide asks participants a series of very general questions which do not even mention ferries or tolls, and make just passing reference to transit. This comes just a few weeks after the provincial government’s approach to B.C. Ferries was roundly condemned by the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and a report commissioned by that body stated that the cuts to ferry service and increased fares have

reduced B.C. economic activity by $2 billion. As for transit within Metro Vancouver, mayors are supposed to be putting together priorities for a referendum, scheduled to be held next spring. While a great number of projects have been proposed, the means to pay for all these ambitious projects remains very elusive. It is obvious that the province does not plan to give up any revenue, and property taxes to fund TransLink are already high. Boosting the gas tax will just send more

While public consultation is always a good idea, the province’s On The Move document, which provides information to guide public discussion, is missing some key elements.

people south of the border, and impact local businesses even more. Adding new taxes to pay for more transit projects

will be a tough sell, particularly given the soft state of the economy. Most people are not enjoying increased incomes, and high housing prices and already-high taxes are sapping disposable income. The province seems determined to whistle its way by these major concerns about transportation. While there are many other priorities and public input is very helpful, ignoring several of the biggest transportation issues does not seem reasonable. —Black Press

If a tree falls in the park and nobody listens can it make a difference? Editor: Some time ago I stopped writing into the paper about issues that affect me, or perhaps others too, here in Richmond. Instead the editor has been kind enough to publish my lighter, humorous takes on issues, of my life here in Richmond. I found that by writing about, for example, the 31 trees city hall is cutting down in Minoru Park would be a giant waste of time. No one in city hall reads my article in the paper and gets out from behind the desk and whips open their office door and yells to their secretary “Get me the mayor on the phone! Bob doesn’t like that the trees are being cut down at the park!” Or if I was to write that I find it interesting that every tree in that row of poplars are all sick and doomed to the chainsaw, because of an inherent problem of their roots coming out of the ground. I would write some must be OK and by cutting a few this would give the others root space to grow secure. And with that I might include that it’s interesting they chose that very same tree to plant down the centre of Gilbert Road not 100 yards away. Nobody who could do anything about it cares. Most of them are too busy trying to get re-elected right now. And besides, by the time this letter would be published the cutting may well already be done. Oh sure 31 new trees are to be planted in and around the artificial baseball field and artificial soccer field with, I would write,

I might include that it’s interesting they chose that very same tree to plant down the centre of Gilbert Road not 100 yards away.

perhaps artificial trees that won't get sick and look all ugly. We must keep up with the sanitized, cement laden, asphalt covered, sharp edged business / residential buildings and grass free look the city centre has become. But I wouldn't write that. That's just my observation after living here in Richmond for the past 50 years. I applauded you who still put finger(s) to keys and express issues near and dear to your heart. Keep it up! Now is the time before the election that they who we vote for might listen and follow through on our concerns. And thank you to you readers who take the time to read the Letters to the Editor part of the paper. And if you support their thinking please go on line to the e-edition where there is space to let them know you support their cause. Help them to continue that fire of change within them that someday will make a difference. Bob Niles Richmond

Jaana Bjork photo The city cut down this tree, near Minoru Lakes, last week after it was deemed “past the acceptable threshold.” Another 31 trees are now scheduled for removal in Minoru Park.

news ‘I was told that Bandits left before children your house was an easy house’ arrived home From Page 1 She was accosted by one of the bandits, and forced to lay down in the hallway, where she could see her husband lying face down on the bed and tied up. As she was being similarly restrained, she told the bandits their children were expected home soon, which apparently prompted the robbers to leave. According to Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton, the suspects were about six feet tall, but had their faces covered. Just a few nights earlier, another McCutcheon Place house was targetted by thieves at almost precisely the same time of day. According to the city’s Criminal Activity Map (tinyurl.com/RichmondCrime), on Friday, Oct. 3, thieves struck a house on the 9100 block of McCutcheon Place between 6:10 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., gaining entry through an unlocked kitchen window. The home’s alarm system had not been set. For tips on how to discourage thieves from targeting your home, visit richmond.ca/homesafety.

Three now running for mayor of Richmond Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie will face at least two challengers in the fall election, as a steady stream of would-be politicians file nomination papers at city hall. Cliff Wei has signed up to run as an independent to challenge the six-term mayor. Richard Lee is also running, under the new slate Richmond Reform. Besides the threeway mayor’s race, as of Wednesday morning, 22 candidates are running for councillor seats. In the last election, just 17 ran for council. Nominations close Oct. 10 at 4 p.m. ahead of the Nov. 15 civic election. Wei sought a council seat in 2011, finishing well back of the eighth and final seat, won by Ken Johnston. Wei finished with 3,841 votes to Johnston’s 12,983 votes. Wei also tried his political hand, unsuccessfully, in last year’s provincial election. In the race for school board, 12 candidates had filed papers as of Oct. 8. In 2011, just 10 candidates sought seats on the seven-member board. —Matthew Hoekstra

From Page 1 These addresses are then passed on to teens and young adults, who subsequently break in. “I thought he was lying,” Johal said of the thief’s story. He recalls the teen saying: “I was told that your house was an easy house.” The teen claimed he’d been instructed to target Johal’s house, and even urged Johal to call the person using the teen’s cell phone. Johal is a member of BlockWatch, and said he receives alerts on his smartphone whenever a nearby home is struck by crime. “That was the only reason I had my guard up,” Johal said.

A Richmond inventor will appear on Dragons’ Den next week—two years after the CBC TV show first aired his pitch to Canada’s heavyweight investors. But instead of testing the waters with an invention, this time he’ll be sharing a success story. Marco Longley’s invention, The HEFT, is an ergonomic auxiliary handle, which attaches to long shaft tools to reduce back strain and fatigue. Longley said the season premiere of Dragons’ Den on Oct. 15 will include an update on his progress of bringing the tool to market. Home Hardware stores across Canada have agreed to sell the device, which is also slated to appear on a TV commercial for the retailer. “We are thrilled that the HEFT will be sold across Canada in Home Hardware stores starting this fall, and it is indeed…a true Canadian success story, from Canadian inventors, Canadian investor, manufactured in Canada and

sold exclusively in Canada,” said Longley in an e-mail. In 2012, Dragons’ Den viewers saw Longley make his pitch to a panel of Canadian business moguls, asking for $25,000 in exchange for a 10 per cent stake in his invention. Longley invented the back-saving device after suffering severe injuries as a cyclist who was run over by a drunk driver. Six operations later, he told the dragons he had been unable to work. “I want to contribute to my family. I haven’t done that for a long long time.” Dragon Arlene Dickinson was moved by Longley’s pitch, and

offered $250,000 to buy the HEFT patent, plus a five per cent royalty stream once she recouped her initial investment. That deal ultimately never materialized, but another dragon came forward. David Chilton, former stock broker and author of the personal finance book The Wealthy Barber, is now on board with Longley. The Richmond man said his invention is the only product to get a licensing deal through the show with only a few homemade prototypes and no prior sales. Dragons’ Den Season 9 premieres Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. on CBC TV.

Eve, Eddie, Myelle and Milo

“We found a family-size home with a resort lifestyle.” A convenient commute and community trails had the Johnson family focused on North Delta when they discovered Lakeside at Sunstone by Polygon. They were looking for a single-family home but got all the room they wanted – with an attainable price tag – at Lakeside. “The Sunstone Clubhouse swimming pool will be great for Myelle,” says Eddie, “and the fenced backyard will be Milo’s domain.” With greenways, bike trails, good schools and a farmer’s market all within walking distance the Johnson’s are excited about the future. “Lakeside really is the perfect package for us.”

Income splitting under attack

Warehouse focus of RCMP investigation Neighbouring tenants say unit in question previously hosted illegal gaming and raves by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A fire alarm that sounded overnight led local emergency responders to stumble upon a clandestine drug lab last weekend in a commercial warehouse complex on Bathgate Way, not far from IKEA at Sweden Way and Bridgeport Road. Around 4 a.m. on Sunday, the fire alarm at 12880 Bathgate Way went off in an upstairs unit which previously had a bad reputation. Although Richmond RCMP weren’t releasing many details, Sgt. Cam Kowalski said a clandestine drug lab was found inside the unit, and at this point, investigators believe it was producing methamphetamine. But police won’t know that for sure until the results come back from lab tests of the chemicals. Late Monday afternoon, Kowalski said investigators were getting close to finishing their investiga-

tion of the unit. The unit would then need to be specially cleaned to deal with the chemicals police found inside, he said. Dennis Kratoska, of printing firm GA Roedde Ltd. located a short distance from the drug lab, said he gave the unit’s occupants access to the electrical room just three or four months ago. On two occasions in the last dozen years, raves have been held in the unit, and on at least one occasion, the unit was used as a speakeasy/gambling den. But there’s hasn’t been any problems in that unit for many years, he said. “I was kind of surprised,” Kratoska said of his reaction to learning about the drug lab. Investigators donned white jumpsuits and mask when entering the unit, 1A, which was declared Not Safe to Occupy by the RCMP. An ambulance remained at the scene during the course of the investigation.

Earlier this month, an article appeared in a publication called Commentary about the use of the anticipated 2015 budget surplus. It could be around the $6-billion mark. Apparently, the Federal Government plans to use the surplus funds to cut the tax rates of several groups of Canadians (including middle-class Canadians and certain businesses). One method of tax cutting will apparently be through income-splitting. In families with only one wage earner, for example, the income would be divided between the spouses, leaving each spouse with a modest income, which in Canada is taxed at a lower rate. Various groups across the country worry about the cost of income splitting ($2.6 billion), and how the benefit will likely prove to be minor for the typical household. They argue that a better use of the funds would be to enhance the child tax benefit. Enhancing the base benefits under the child tax credit could help poor and middle-income Canadians with children far more. In my opinion, the government should re-examine the issue and consider carefully whether there is any significant benefit to continuing the income splitting benefit under the Tax Act, or instead focus on helping children and the poor to a larger degree through the child tax benefit.

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Question of the Week The all-new Ford F-150 graces the front of Driveway this week as it looks to maintain its constant premier position as the truck of choice. What do its rivals have to do to make a bigger mark in sales? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: This weekend is one of the most dangerous on B.C. roads. The temperature can drop and road conditions can change quickly in the fall and winter months. If you’re driving out of town, check drivebc.ca for up-to-date road and weather conditions before you head out.

The big update is all about electronics. A new instrument cluster is larger and all the gauges are video projected.

Five things that will kill your classic car Contrary to general perception, most classic cars aren’t fragile flowers. In fact, many are anviltough, particularly American cars of the 1950s and 1960s, built with real Pennsylvania steel and very little plastic. But even these rolling bank vaults can be seriously screwed up by these five things:

Non-use: This one is really is counterintuitive. When classic cars come to mind for many, the image of the trailer queen or museum piece looms large; in fact, most people think that these are the best caredfor cars. In actuality, they often turn out to be the most problematic cars when they are finally driven. Non-use is actually abuse — seals dry out and start to leak; gas gets stale and turns to varnish; batteries corrode when not removed; and tires get flat spots. Cars that are used and maintained on a regular basis, on the other hand, are often the happiest and most reliable old cars.

Improper storage/rodents: This goes along with the above. Failure to drain fuel or use a stabilizer, not using jack stands, and making certain that anti-freeze is up to snuff all contribute to storagerelated deterioration. But perhaps the most destructive force has four teeth and a naked tail — rats and mice, the same rodents that wiped out half the population of Europe by carrying Bubonic plague, can really mess with your classic car. They chew upholstery and insulation to make nests (in which they pee, poop and reproduce, not necessarily in that order), and worst of all, they chew on wiring harnesses where it isn’t apparent until something smokes or catches fire from behind the dash of your 1965 Mustang. Road salt: Most everyone who has taken chemistry knows that the reaction between sodium chloride and steel yields iron oxide, more commonly known as rust. But few people truly realize how quickly the damage is done. Just one drive on a wet salty road will give your classic an ugly coating of surface rust on anything on the underside that is not well

protected, like suspension parts, exhaust and even the frame. A season or two that lets salty mud penetrate the nooks and crannies of your car will almost certainly cause visible rust to erupt. And don’t think you’re immune because your car is fiberglass, there’s plenty of steel to rot away under the pretty plastic panels of your 1972 Corvette Stingray. Conversely, getting caught in the rain every now and then isn’t death for your classic, as long as nothing like carpets or trunk mats get soaked and stay wet. Some of the cleanest and most rust-free old cars we’ve seen come from the damp Pacific Northwest, where it snows little and road salt isn’t used.

Old tires: Most vintage cars don’t see 15,000 miles of use each year and, often, totally unsafe tires can look deceptively sound. In addition to tread wear, age, dry rot, flat spots and UV exposure can render tires unsafe. About six or seven years should be tops in terms of tire life, regardless of how the tires may look. A blowout or a thrown tread can not only threaten your life, it can severely damage your car severely as I found out first hand when an otherwise fine-looking tire threw a tread and put a football-sized dent in the lower quarter panel of a formerly pristine 1977 Datsun 280Z.

Bad driving habits: The list of things that you can do to shorten the life of the major systems of a classic — from engine, transmission to differential — is long and beyond the scope of this article. But perhaps the most destructive thing you can do to a vintage car is to not let it warm up properly. I’ve witnessed tons of people who should know better start up a cold car and immediately zing it to the redline with the first shift. It’s painful to watch and even more painful to realize the harm that’s being done to the engine. Always drive gently until the car has reached normal operating temperature (usually around the mid-point of the temperature gauge). Rob Sass is the vicepresident of content for Hagerty Insurance.

Kia‘s electric Soul by Bob McHugh Kia joins the growing list of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers with Soul EV, a clever adaptation of its tall 5-door compact with the funky styling. Although still a small slice of the overall car market, EV sales are growing rapidly and so is the public charge station infrastructure that’s crucial to its success, especially in urban areas. A digital readout showed 187 km of driving range available as we headed out on a test loop around Metro Vancouver. And after about 30 minutes of, no special treatment, driving with frequent stops, starts, hill climbs and descents, the Soul EV showed 162 km was still available. That’s relevant, as the Soul EV’s officially rated driving range is 149 km. In addition to being quiet and fuel-free, Soul EV effectively matches the practical user features of its gasoline counterpart. It can seat 4 to 5 passengers and has the same large rear cargo area. Kia’s polymer (electrolyte) lithium ion battery pack is

‘‘

The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV.

Bob McHugh

compact and easier to hide than others, as is can be molded into different shapes. In Soul EV it’s centrally fitted under the seats and a raised rear floor pan. The gasoline engine is replaced by a 109 horsepower liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor that can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That’s 59 lb-ft more than the 2.0-litre gasoline engine version of Soul. Standing starts were not as jumpy as other electric vehicles tend to be and the overall performance of the electric drivetrain was impressively smooth.

Charger ports for the battery pack are hidden behind a hinged cover in the front grille. The smaller port accepts either a 120 volt (level 1) or a 240 volt (level2) charge connector. A portable level 1 unit is stored in the vehicle and Kia Canada will also provide Soul EV buyers with a level 2 charge unit (made by Bosch) for home installation, free of charge. The charger unit can also be used to pre-heat or pre-cool the Soul EV, while plugged into the grid. You can also program it to start or complete charging at a certain time. The level 1 charger plugs into any electrical outlet, but can take up to 24-hours to fully recharge the battery pack. A level 2 charger (with 30 amp service) cuts the maximum recharge time to under 5-hours. And a level 3 fast charge station can pump-in an 80 per cent charge in less than 30 minutes. We didn’t take it out on the freeway, but the Soul EV seemed very stable (it’s heavier then the gas engine Soul) and Kia claims a top speed of 145 km/hour. Kia

Kia’s Soul EV matches the practical features of its gasoline counterpart. also claims that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ hour faster (by 4 seconds) than a Nissan Leaf. It’s agile and peppy, with lots of initial get up and go, but it’s also no dragster. The two-tone gray interior theme came with attractive and contrasting blue stitching. Extensive use of bio-friendly interior materials also makes Soul EV the most eco-friendly vehicle made by Kia. It feature materials derived from organic substances such as sugar cane, corn, cellulose,

and wood powder. The base edition of Soul EV is very well equipped and even comes with dual-zone climate control, voiceactivated navigation and a rear view camera. A leather wrapped steering wheel is heated and also has both tilt and telescopic features. Moving up to EV Luxury adds features like leather (synthetic) upholstery, a heat pump (enhances the climate control system), cooled and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. Soul EV is only available

through selected Kia dealers in major Canadian urban centres (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver). Unlike Quebec and Ontario, however, BC’s incentive program for eco-friendly vehicles ran out of cash back in March of this year. Soul EV does qualify for an $8,000 federal government rebate and that certainly helps make the purchase price more palatable. The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV in this price range. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

a physician in the Intensive Care Unit— the ICU—at Richmond Hospital for more than six years and is the department’s co-head. Dr. Haljan shares the story of Wing Cheung, a longtime Richmond resident and a patient of his whose personal journey of illness, care and return to health and family gives all of us pause to reflect and offer thanks: “I remember clearly the day that Wing Cheung arrived in the

Emergency Department last April. He was quickly assessed and immediately rushed into the Operating Room for surgery. It was obvious to the entire team he was extremely sick—he had a perforated colon and infection was spreading quickly throughout his body. His blood pressure had dropped, his lungs were failing and his brain was no longer functioning properly. He was unable to think or even

speak clearly. “Wing’s situation was serious and life-threatening, and if the Emergency Department team and surgeons hadn’t acted as quickly as they did, he could easily have died that day. Thankfully, his surgery was successful and for a brief time, he seemed to be improving. Shortly after the surgery however, he started getting progressively sicker and sicker. See Page 25

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the friendly pair standing outside Angels There For You home and health care services. With ear-to-ear grins and rosy cheeks, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unlikely to scare anyone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different story outside Laaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vacuums. A ghoulish witch with her mouth propped wide open is trying hard to catch customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes. Some businesses have capitalized on a theme, like Coast Capital Savingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Miss Money Bags, a character so flush with cashâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;play moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuffed

in her boots. And outside Pieces on Moncton Street rests Annette Fishacello, a fishy looking gal who appears to have drifted in with the tide. Village visitors taking a stroll for scarecrows can also expect the extraordinary. Outside Sinfully the Best at Chatham Street and No. 1 Road, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bride and groom. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to say this is an unexpected marriage, being that the newlyweds are a couple of crows. Organizers at the Steveston Merchants Association welcome people to walk through the village to view the one-of-a-kind creations throughout October and to vote for their favourite on the crawlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page.

ICU helps Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most seriously ill patients From Page 21 â&#x20AC;&#x153;His infection had tragically continued to spread into his blood, resulting in a severe case of sepsis, a dangerous blood infection. We immediately brought him into the Intensive Care Unit, where he was monitored closely on life-support for the next three weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ICU is here for Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most seriously ill patients who require constant monitoring and highly specialized equipment around the clock for emergencies such as sepsis, kidney failure, cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wing spent two months at Richmond Hospital, working incredibly hard to recover his health and his strength, and his family was with him every step of the way. Initially, we had him on a ventilator, when he was unable to breathe on his own. His kidneys were the slowest to recover, but thankfully today he is off the dialysis machine permanently. He made a truly miraculous recovery. Wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Colleen, told me

many times how cared for the whole family felt and how grateful they all are, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy to have been able to help them during this difficult time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the ICU Department co-head, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful to the entire team of outstanding staff who providing compassionate, lifesaving care. The work we do in the ICU requires an extraordinary amount of medical technology, extensive specialized training and a large team of doctors and nurses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we all travel along the journey of life, we face many opportunities and challenges, times of happiness and sadness. In the work I do, backed by an outstanding team, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m often reminded of the generosity of families in these times and am thankful to them for providing the funds we need to offer this level of care thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so essential.â&#x20AC;?

Teacher Glyn Davies wins PMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award Glyn Daviesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; students have done some amazing things over the years. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper honoured the Henry Anderson Elementary School teacher with an award for teaching excellence for playing his part in their educational journey. The national award recognizes outstanding elementary and secondary school teachers who â&#x20AC;&#x153;through their innovative use of information and communications technologies, help Canadian students meet the challenges of a 21st-century society and economy,â&#x20AC;? according to a press release. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helmed projects that have seen students transform empty rooms into international space stations, solar systems, aquariums and even jungles. Davies has taught in Richmond for more than 30 years. Fifty-four teachers from across the nation were honoured, with 17 national-level winners including Davies. He has been recognized for his teaching excellence many times, including last year, when he was the sole Canadian winner of the 2013 Amgen Award for Science Teaching Excellence. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Martin van den Hemel

Carrier to the rescue From Page 1 Mom and son canvassed the neighbourhood for clues. They found five skunks in totalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;three were believed to have already diedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Daniel carefully loaded them into his wagon. Neighbours told them the critters were living under a deck before renovations disrupted their den and the mother disappeared. The babies had been on their own for a few weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The neighbours noticed them because they would lie in the sun. (Skunks) are nocturnal, but they would just lie in a big heap,â&#x20AC;? said mom Linda. Food scraps kept the critters alive, but what they really needed was milk. Wildlife experts say baby skunks usually stay with their mothers for 12 weeks. The MacHolm family kept the babies safe overnight,

and delivered them to Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley the next day. Animal experts confirmed the animals were starving, and helped bring them back to health. Four months later the animals were released back into the wild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive just off the grapes and stuff people were giving them. They needed milk, and they got the formula they needed from the care centre,â&#x20AC;? said Linda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the neighbours did kept them from death, and then Daniel, being brave enough to touch them, was the last help that they needed.â&#x20AC;? As for smells and scratchesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;baby skunks are nothing to be afraid of, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like we were holding little kittens,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tiny bit of smell, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even off-putting in the slightest.â&#x20AC;?

Many locals have delivered Each Wednesday and Friday, an army of carriers fan out across the city to deliver The Richmond Review. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a popular job for young and oldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and an early springboard to success for many locals who faithfully delivered The Review years before embarking on their current careers. Patrick Greene is one of them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been years since the 41-yearold dropped papers at local doorsteps, but the job is one he still remembers. Greene won an Emmy this year as director of the ABC TV series Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin. Communications professional and former broadcast journalist Shachi Kurl says delivering the Review was one of her first jobs. The head of University of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Physics and Astronomy also once delivered the paper.

Seafair commits to Sweep the Streets of Steveston by Don Fennell Sports Editor Seafair Minor Hockey is committed to “Sweep the Streets” of Steveston for a fifth consecutive year Sunday, and some of the most eager participants are also among the youngest—including brothers Connor and Spencer Chang, six and seven years old respectively. “I didn’t think picking up garbage with friends would be so much fun, and I was surprised with so many cigarette butts. We found over 150,” says Spencer. “(Now) I always throw my garbage in the garbage can and I yell at my friends when they sometimes forget.” “It’s fun picking up garbage with the fancy picker-uppers,” adds Connor, who looks forward to the ice cream and pizza treats afterwards. Luis Chang, who coaches both his sons’ teams in Hockey 2 and Hockey 4, says Sweeps the Streets accurately reflects Seafair’s manta of “Great Hockey Great People.” “As a coach I place it very high in terms of importance,” he says. “Most teams have just been formed and this goes a long way to building a foundation for team unity. It is also the first event the team will do not involving hockey, which will undoubtedly further strengthen their bond as a team. As for the players’ experiences, my hope is they feel a sense of belonging—not only to the team also the community.

This event will continue to be a priority because it just feels right to give back, and it serves to teach life lessons to the players which they’ll hopefully carry with them as they mature and become young citizens.” One lesson coaches always try to instill in their teams is that of teamwork. Chang says together kids can accomplish almost anything, whether it is helping out by cleaning a few city blocks or trying to win a hockey game. Working together, he says, creates success. “This directly translates to hockey, because on the ice a single player may or may not be the difference in the outcome of a game, but a team with a shared common goal will more than not prevail over a solo effort.” Colin Campbell is head coach of Seafair’s Hockey 1 and Hockey 3 programs, and the father of three young players in the association—all of whom will be pitching in during Sunday’s cleanup. Like his coaching colleague, Luis Chang, Campbell says Sweep the Streets is a very important team event. “The season is just beginning and this is a great opportunity for the kids to meet outside of the rink and spend some times working together while taking pride in our community,” he says. “For the young ones participating for the first time, it will be just a fun day out. But as they get older we hope they will all appreciate that they have given back.” Campbell recognizes that most of

Members of the Seafair Minor Hockey family will gather at Garry Point Park Sunday morning for the association’s fifth annual Sweep the Streets project.

the players on the teams aren’t going to play in the NHL, but he says they all have the ability to become great citizens. “One of Seafair’s biggest strengths is that we not only focus on putting together a great on-ice program, but also ensure that we are giving back to the community and providing our players opportunities to give back as well. There is nothing better than seeing the kids work hard together with smiles on

their faces the entire time.” Campbell’s eight-year-old son, Jack, will be participating in the Steveston cleanup for the fourth consecutive year. “My coaches and parents have told our team that it is important for us to show up and help clean up for our neighbours,”he says.“We also do a food bank drive each year, and we also get to go in the Salmon Festival parade on the Seafair float.”

Organizer Cody Kusch, vice-president of Seafair Minor Hockey, hopes this year’s attendance will top out at more than 300. Last year more than 250 players and parents proudly dug in, starting out at Garry Point Park. This Sunday—appropriately a day before Thanksgiving and during the association’s annual ice Breaker tournament—the Seafair family will gather at the park at 10:30 a.m. to begin their three-hour cleanup.

Beautiful homes, amazing views and a fantastic location combine at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, the Fraser Valley’s premier new address. Located in Agassiz atop Mount Woodside, Harrison Highlands is the largest master-planned river view community in the Fraser Valley. Two distinct communities are situated within the development: Woodside and Briarwood. Both

feature two- to four-bedroom homes with stunning views and beautiful interior features. “This is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “It’s also a great place to raise a family.” The Craftsman architecture offers excellent curb appeal, while the expansive interiors feature nine-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows to allow the natural light to flood the home. European-made high-quality laminate flooring is featured

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

throughout the main level, while gourmet-quality kitchens include maple cabinetry and elegant countertops (quartz in the Briarwood homes and laminate in the Woodside homes).

Boffo’s Adagio is hitting a high note in South Surrey, with elegant kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and plenty of space for living, relaxing and entertaining. Homeowners will also have access to a stunning community courtyard, among other amenities.

Italian traditions at Boffo’s Adagio By Kerry Vital

Boffo has been one of the top developers in the Lower Mainland for decades, and they are known for beautiful homes. They’ve brought their expertise to South Surrey with Adagio, a condominium project that has already been extremely popular with local purchasers. “Everyone who has moved in already has been absolutely thrilled by the amenities, the homes and the entire aesthetic,” says sales manager Sandra Miller. “Boffo has a long history of Italian traditions and attention to detail, and these homes are reflective of that.”

A beautifully landscaped community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots is just one of the amazing things available for residents at Adagio. “Every aspect has been taken care of here,” says Miller. “The Boffo stamp is on this project. We’re very proud of it.” Inside, the one-bedroom and den, twoand three-bedroom homes feature nine-foot ceilings (12 feet on the top floor) and large windows that let the natural light pour in. Large terraces and patios add to your living space. The kitchen is an absolute highlight. Natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash, and the under-cabinet and recessed lighting beautifully illuminates your tasks. Stainlesssteel appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop and a 36-inch counter-depth fridge, and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated, and large kitchen islands feature

a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining. Premium laminate flooring is featured throughout the main living areas, while the bedrooms include carpet made for sinking your toes into. The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/ shower combination. Bathrooms include a built-in wall niche, and ensuites have a radiant heated floor. The custom suspended under-lit vanity and natural granite or quartz countertops are complemented by a matching backsplash.

Most ensuites include a his-and-hers vanity for extra convenience. The community is one of the big draws for purchasers at Adagio. “The location is fantastic,” Miller says. “You can’t beat it.” Located in the Semiahmoo neighbourhood, residents at Adagio will find everything they can possibly imagine on their front doorstep. From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by, with several parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach. If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you’ll find an art gallery, theatre and museum just minutes away. On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool table and a large garden and patio area. There is also a fully equipped fitness centre with a steam room. “There is always something going on here,” says Miller. “People appreciate that. It’s a wonderful social atmosphere.” Homes range from one-bedroom and den homes, offering 784 square feet of living space, up to 1,279 square feet for a three-bedroom, three-bath home. For more information, visit AdagioByBoffo.ca, contact sales managers Sandra Miller and Ian Watts of Bay Realty Ltd. at 604-531-6659 or stop by the presentation centre at 101-15360 20th Avenue at 154th, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 5 p.m., except Fridays.

Thanksgiving soccer weekend in Richmond Tournament organizer says it’s important to recognize efforts of city staff in midst of Minoru Park renovations by Don Fennell Sports Editor One of the longest-standing sports traditions in Richmond returns this weekend. Hot on the heels of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Richmond FC and Richmond Girls’ Soccer are combining their energies to host the 22nd annual Richmond Thanksgiving Soccer Tournament Saturday and Sunday, with games throughout the community. In all, 1,656 players and 276 coaches and managers representing teams from both local associations—and from throughout the province, from as far afield as Kelowna and Nelson—will participate in 174 games in three divisions—Gold, Silver and Bronze on 18 fields from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. In all, there are 66 boys’ teams and 26 girls’ teams from under-13 to under-18 competing. Tania Webster, tournament coordinator for the boys’ side of the tournament, says events such as this couldn’t take place without the support and help of parents. She said their efforts to put up nets and corner posts and assist with various other tasks—even extending to coaching and managing—is exemplary.

“I love the Thanksgiving tournament,” Webster says. “It was started by some of our soccer pioneers in Richmond, and it is important to offer a great event and keep the tradition going.” For many of the 25 Richmond boys’ teams entered, this will be their only tournament experience over the course of the soccer season. Webster says it gives them a chance to play teams they wouldn’t see during the league schedule, plus it’s a chance to see how they match up against other clubs from around the province. Webster is also proud that many of the out-of-town teams return year after year. “Last year I said goodbye to three under-18 boys’ teams that had been coming to Richmond since under-13,” she says. “All three coaches made a point to come and thank me for six years of tournament experiences. Those are the moments you remember as a tournament director—not who won, lost or got a red card.” Webster also says it’s important to recognize the efforts of city staff, namely Sammy Morizawa and Claudia Gutiuerrez in parks, for their ongoing support—and getting 13 grass fields in prime condition for the weekend.

Don Fennell photo Richmond FC will be represented by 25 teams at the 22nd annual Thanksgiving youth soccer tournament Saturday and Sunday in Richmond.

“With the closure of two fields at Minoru Park, where we would typically play 20 games, they have worked hard to give us outstanding alternatives,” she says. Webster says the tournament is a true family event, and a benefit to the city as a whole. Teams from

outside the Lower Mainland often make a family vacation out of their visit, or visit relatives during the Thanksgiving long weekend. The out-of-towners typically stay at local hotels for up to three nights, eat at local restaurants and shop here. And their relatives often, in turn,

come out to watch games. “I only have one wish for this weekend—good weather,” says Webster. •For the boys’ schedule visit www. richmondfc.ca and for the girls’ schedule www.richmondgirlssoccer.com.

VINER, Julian Julian passed away on September 30, 2014, in his 89th year and will be much missed and lovingly remembered. He was the eldest of three children and was born and educated in England. He did his National Service in the Royal Artillery during which he was posted to N. Germany. He went on to study medicine at New College, Oxford after which he followed in his father’s footsteps for further medical training at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, where he qualified in 1955. He worked in General Practice in the N.H.S. at first and went to Canada in 1962. A year in Vancouver was followed by three in Kitimat. He settled in Richmond, BC in 1967 where he remained in General Practice for 37 years. On partial retirement in 2004 he did a variety of locums, only retiring fully in 2007. He had many hobbies including woodcarving, painting and outdoor sports such as skiing and hiking with his many friends. He read widely and had a very good memory so was a rewarding conversationalist and a loyal friend to many. He never married but was devoted to family and old friends. He is survived by his sister, a niece, three nephews and their ten children. They would like to thank the Vancouver Hospice Society for all the care they gave him at the close of his life. The Funeral, officiated by Reverend James Wagner, was held on Thursday, October 9, 2014 at St. John’s Anglican Church, 5350 Baillie Street, Vancouver, BC.

City lawyer Kevin Westell argued before Judge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’t have the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing on April 10 at Richmond provincial court.

Solid win at Seaquam sparks optimism Hugh Boyd hosting Moscrop Panthers Friday by Don Fennell Sports Editor Bring on the Panthers! That’s been the mantra around Hugh Boyd Secondary this week, after the school’s football team kicked off the provincial AA varsity league schedule Saturday with a solid victory at Seaquam. The 22-6 victory over the Seahawks wasn’t a surprise, but the manner it which it was carried out. “Sure, we prepared assignment-wise,” said Hugh Boyd coach Bruce Haddow. “We’d seen a couple of game tapes given they’d played four games already, but it can be a whole different ball game when it comes to lining up properly and then actual game speed.” But despite being the Trojans’ first game— regular-season or exhibition—since 2013, the players delivered on all fronts. “They’re a confident bunch, which is nice,” Haddow said. “Not cocky, but confident. I don’t if there is any explanation (for their strong play, despite not being able to practice during the teacher strike) other than they played hard and were prepared not to make any excuses. We took the approach that we might as well just plow ahead and do the best we can. If the

players can keep that in their heads we’ll continue to do well.” Burnaby;s Moscrop Panthers, scheduled to face the Trojans tonight (Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park), will have to deal with a young, but determined host squad that is already showing the signs of being a close-knit team. The fact there are only seven Grade 12s and three Grade 10s in the lineup speak to this. “Most of them, however, have quite a bit of football experience, including playing as Grade 8s, and I that’s huge,” Haddow says. “There’s a lot to first impressions and it suggests that as Grade 8s there was a lot about the game they liked to want to continue. Football requires a lot of commitment.” Grade 12 Austin Do is typical of the work ethic that exemplifies the Trojans. At five-foot-nine and 165 pounds he’s by no means the biggest player, but his heart and talent is second to none. Besides playing wide receiver, he also plays defensive back and is the team’s kicker. Do scored one of the Trojans’ three touchdowns against Seaquam, with the others going to two other key veterans—Tyler Moxin and Anthony Giorno. Haddow also had high praise for the defensive player of several others including Patrick Ruvalcaba, Darby Kwan, Mark Hayduk, Max Grenzberg and Arun Sandhu.
