GORD GOBLE SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Snow geese have returned to Richmond this season, poised to take over fields, parks and other open spaces of land. Above and right, they sit and then take flight from a farm at the end of Gilbert Road, south of Steveston Highway.

Farm neighbours raise concerns about more dumping Flooding in spring sets back farmers’ growing time by three months, according to worried local landowners BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Long-time Westminster Highway farmers George Fong and Fred VanDyk are expecting a wet spring. The prediction, they feel, is pretty iron-clad, not because they have checked the venerable Farmer’s Almanac or Environment Canada for weather projections. All they have to do is look at what their neighbour has done to raise the level of their property with what they claim is demolition debris and ground up asphalt — materials prohibited from being dumped on farmland. The change in elevation — a good

four to five feet in some places — causes flooding on Fong and VanDyk’s properties just east of No. 6 Road, something that puts Fong back about three months of growing time in spring. “That’s worth about $10,000 to me,” said Fong who grows Chinese greens on the five-acre plot he has farmed since 1976. Moreover, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) ordered a work stoppage on the land in April 2012 because the material dumped was deemed prohibitive. Fong and VanDyk believe that order is being ignored. On the other side of the raised property, VanDyk, 87, has long-since retired from farming, but has other

farmers raise and cut hay crops on his land. However, with the added moisture — run-off from his neighbour — that’s getting harder to do. “Instead of grass back there I am growing bullrushes,” said VanDyk who used to own the adjacent land but sold it when he retired. Since then, it has changed hands three times and is now listed as belonging to Guvinder Singh Aujla. Valvir Aujla told the Richmond News in a telephone interview his son, Guvinder, plans to build a 17,000square-foot home on the land and the work being done was in preparation for that project. see Aujla page 4

Aujla: Denies allegation of dumping

• FUN

• FRIENDS

• FREEDOM

Continued from page 1 Plus, he wants to install a commercial greenhouse sprawling over an acre at the rear of the property. When asked about the ALC’s stop work order and recent activity on the site, the senior Aujla said asphalt grindings were trucked to the property and unloaded last week in order to construct a “clean” area at the entranceway to park vehicles and equipment, and limit the amount of mud being carted off the land and onto the roadway. Aujla said the allegations that anything other than soil previously being dumped on the land to raise it up are false, and that his neighbours’ flooding problems are the result of poor drainage on their property, not the work done on his son’s farmland. The situation has left a local farm protection group asking the city to go forward with a proposal to hire additional city staff to act as “soil cops” to investigate illegal

farm dumping on behalf of the ALC which has just two field officers to police the entire province. “I think if the city had the manpower on the ground, landowners would definitely think twice about doing this kind of thing,” said Ray Galawan of Farmwatch BC, which started the ball rolling on the matter after setting up a vigil at the entrance to a Finn Road farm earlier this year where illegal dumping was alleged. Two weeks ago, city councillors sent its plan for city-based inspectors back to staff for further study, citing concerns over the cost — around $230,000 a year. But if it’s just dollars holding the city back from getting city staff boots on the ground to do inspections, maybe the local agricultural community could help, Galawan said. Divided among the number of farm owners locally, it would be money well spent, he said.

Proposal goes to public hearing BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

The controversial Walmart-anchored shopping centre plan took another major — albeit expected — step forward Tuesday night. City council sent Smartcentres’ $100-million, 14-acre outdoor shopping mall proposal in West Cambie onto the public hearing stage with a vote of 8-1 — Coun. Harold Steves the lone dissenting voice. The two city council voices that had yet to be heard recently on the application — Ken Johnston and Derek Dang — both voted in favour of moving the plan forward. “I feel this is a land-use matter,” Johnston told the News, referring to the condemnation many objectors have to Walmart being the developer’s anchor tenant. “(City council) doesn’t get involved in Walmart’s corporate policies; it’s not our job. “This has been back and forth for too long and it’s time for us to listen to the folks at a public hearing; that’s what we do as councillors and we’ll make a decision after that.” Johnston added that he doesn’t have any major issues, at this point, with the proposal on the table. Dang, meanwhile, from what he’s heard from the public thus far, feels the public have bigger issues with Walmart than they do with

Natural Smile?

the shopping centre proposal itself. “People seem to have a real problem with (Walmart) and they will now get the chance to say what they want at the public hearing I guess,” said Dang. “But this area has been earmarked as a big box development for a while. It’s healthier that it all comes out at a public hearing though, and it’s really time to put this one to bed, one way or the other.” At a planning committee meeting two weeks ago, Smartcentres, in a bid to win favour with city council, offered $238,000 towards more To see park enhancements within the past stoWest Cambie site and for “ecories on logical” improvements within the pronearby West Cambie Park. posal The move was, in part, motivated by the potential loss of environmentally sensitive area (ESA) designated land within the proposed shopping centre site. Last month, councillors sent the application back to staff once more, with concerns over the loss of ESA land and the impact of traffic coming into Richmond from out of town. However, a revised city staff report indicated that only 15 per cent of the extra traffic is anticipated to come from outside the city. A number of intersection improvements in the area are also being paid for by the developer, should the plans be approved after the public hearing later this fall.

Au: ‘I will leave things open’ Continued from page 8 “I will leave things open,” he said. “If somebody can give me a good reason, I will look at it. But federal politics is not my focus right now.” While Au is willing to listen, cross firstterm school board trustee Eric Yung off the list of potential candidates. Yung, who was approached about two months ago to run, said he considers his job as trustee is not yet done and it would be “irresponsible spending three years getting my feet wet and then look for greener pastures” by seeking a federal seat.

He declined to name which party sought him out, and admitted the federal scene had crossed his mind. “But I very carefully crossed it off. My energies right now are devoted to the issues at the school board level,” said Yung, adding he is committed to seeking a second term as trustee in the November 2014 civic election. Another consideration against running federally was his young family — he has children in kindergarten and Grade 5 — and time spent away from them traveling back and forth to Ottawa would be a problem, he said.

Earlier this month, reasons for judgment were released in the case Yen Estate v. Chan. The deceased made his Will in 1973, and died in 2010. He is survived by three daughters. One other daughter predeceased, and her children challenged the Will. They argued that their grandfather did not have proper capacity when he signed the Will, that the execution requirements under the Wills Act were not met, and that there was no proof that he approved of the contents. The two children lost at Trial and appealed. They also lost the Appeal, primarily because of the legal presumption of due execution. That is, where it appears on the document that it was properly executed, the Will is presumed valid. Our Court of Appeal adopted this two-century-old presumption for the ﬁrst time in this case, and appropriately! Likely, the children challenged the Will because they were not named beneﬁciaries (had their mother lived, they would have inherited). But there was nothing “wrong” with the Will, and when the deceased made it he did have capacity.

Worry about empty nets

ardine seiner boats are reportedly coming home early after their annual fishing season netted nothing in several months of looking. While those who share close quarters with sardine eaters might not be mourning the disappearance of the odorous fish, their absence is worrying. This comes less than a month after local oceanographers began scratching their heads about a mass die-off of sea stars in Howe Sound off West Vancouver. The oceans and the webs of life they support are unimaginably complex and even the most accomplished marine scientists will tell you we only know a fraction of what there is to know about the deep blue. It is entirely possible that these are innocuous, naturally occurring phenomena, but our instincts — or guilty consciences — tell us otherwise. What a catastrophe it would be if the Pacific “dead zone” off the California coast were to extend north to B.C. waters. A healthy future for the Earth’s oceans likely depends on the outcome of a tug-of-war between conservation efforts and industry. At best, you could say we are giving the oceans mixed messages. We’re willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to clean up our local wastewater output into Burrard Inlet, but at the same time we’re minimizing or ignoring the human contribution to climate change. Science is only just beginning to measure the effect that temperature change in the world’s oceans has on weather patterns. But because our knowledge is incomplete, the modelling based on it is easy to dismiss by, say, a government more focused on the extraction and sale of carbon fuels.

CHOICE WORDS

Practise inclusivity in city The Editor, While going through the inserts in the local paper, I discovered a 24-page Real Estate Weekly, which I could not read as it was in Chinese. I guess Richmond does not feel it needs me to be part of its real estate market. This letter has nothing to do with intolerance. My parents came from India more than 45 years ago with six young children in tow. Not one of us spoke a word of English. My father, in his 40s at the time, learned to speak broken English and my older siblings were sent to ESL classes right away. My family was able to maintain its cultural beliefs and practices without bombarding our neighbourhoods, shops and community with the Punjabi language. My parents were free to practise their Sikh religion while Canada continued to say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays.” When literature shows up at my door, it should be in English or French. If I want a paper in Punjabi, I’ll subscribe to it. If I want one in Chinese, I’ll subscribe to it. This city continues to exclude me, while preaching the importance of being “inclusive.” Doesn’t everyone’s inclusivity count. For the politicians, it is all about the votes; for businesses, it is all about the money. For those of us who are bothered by a 24page insert sitting on our kitchen tables that we can’t read, it is about our community and Canada. Don’t we ALL count. For all immigrants, myself included, remember “Canada did not come to us; we came to Canada.” Amar Litt Richmond

The origins of the natural species The various offshoots of the sovereign citizen movement have been back in the news lately. You may be familiar with this movement under another name, including natural persons or more recently Freeman on the Land. All these names are mere branches from the same tree, and all their adherents believe that they have discovered the truth — and the truth is weird. They believe that various government rules can be escaped by odd practices. Thus the freemen tend to give their names as John Brian of the Smith family rather than plain old John Brian Smith, or with odd punctuation, such as JohnBrian: Smith. Their practices include not paying income tax, not obeying building codes, never using their SIN cards (that lets the government own you, man!), not getting drivers’ licences, and making their own licence plates. When dragged into court for any of these practices, they typically try to drown the judge and prosecutors under a flood of legal bafflegab about natural rights, common law, admiralty law, and the importance of not spelling your name in allcapitals. Essentially, they believe their arcane knowledge is a get out of jail free card. So far, it has seldom proved useful, and a number of natural persons have spent time in jails across Canada for tax evasion and contempt of court.

Matthew Claxton PA I N F U L T RU T H

If you go all the way back, you find one root of the movement with the faith known as British Israelism, the idea that white Anglos are the descendents of the lost tribes of Israel. A virulently racist offshoot of this became Christian Identity by the 20th century, which had the charming view that only white people have souls. The Christian Identity folks cross-pollinated with (and were often the same people as) the Posse Comitatus movement, which was a cross between a militia movement and a tax-protesting self-help group. Tax protesting is the other root of the movement, going back to the 1940s. Some in the U.S. claimed that the government had no legal right to collect income taxes in particular. It was the Posse Comitatus that came up with a lot of the legal mythology used by the modern sovereign citizens, but it spread slowly outside of the right wing fringe, likely because no one wanted to be associated with a bunch of violent racists with a history of shooting/being shot at by the cops. Then sometime in the

late 1990s or early 2000s, the tax protesting ideas and conspiracy theories stripped away the racist taint, along with some of the violent tendencies of the groups. Now, the U.S. and Canadian tax resisters who subscribe to the ideas come from a variety of ethnic groups, and New Age spiritual beliefs seem to be almost as common as Christian ones. The ideology is now free to spread, and spread it does. Anyone who’s ever felt kicked around by the government or heartless corporations (that’s everyone) has to feel some sympathy for these folks. At least for the nonviolent ones. In Canada, Daren McCormick of Nova Scotia was convicted of threatening to kill police officers in 2012. His case and others have put the Freeman/sovereigns on the radar of CSIS, the RCMP and police associations. I know that true believers will think I’m just one of the sheep, or a shill for shadowy government forces. That’s fine. What I’m really hoping is that most people reading this will take away just one lesson: Nothing you hear about being a natural person or Freeman will help you with real tax authorities, real cops or real judges. Please, if you want to go to court, use a good lawyer, not an imaginary law. Matthew Claxton writes for the Langley Advance.

When I left that Thursday evening, we had the roughs, they still needed to be mixed and mastered. There is a strategic game plan forming on how best to release these four songs. Contrary to what I initially thought, these songs will not merely be special features on my YouTube channel.

No dates or specifics have been released yet, but Darcy and Cone have assured me that something will happen, they have a bigger picture in mind. It’s going to take a lot of hard work, and commitment, but it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before. Because, as frightening as it sounds, I feel like I’ve discovered where I belong. A place where the hours alone in my room, the callused fingers, the lack of sleep, and the eternities of writer’s block take on a unique value and meaning. Obviously, I need to remain cautious, grounded and guarded — prepared with a “plan B.” But there is small hopeful chance that this trip may not be the absolute end of the journey. This trip may have opened a door to opportunities, and I am determined to step through. Anna Toth is a student at UBC, and a YouTube musician @musicdoodles from Richmond.

GuessWho? exhibits 100-plus pieces, but leaves artists anonymous BY YVONNE ROBERTSON

yrobertson@richmond-news.com

By 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, artist Loraine Wellman anticipates a lineup snaking around the small Pioneer Church, flooding the doors as soon as they open — viewers ambling to get a look at all of the 10x10 canvases before choosing which one to take home. The Richmond Artist Guild has organized the first GuessWho? event, an art show where all the pieces cost $100, but the artist remains anonymous until the work is purchased. “It’s more To view of a challenge more for people to photos see what they of participating have an eye for, students and they’ll have a bit of fun guessing,” said Wellman, one of the organizers of the show. “The important thing is that it doesn’t really matter who did the work.”

Community members will have 15 minutes to look through the 100-plus paintings and photographs before they’re allowed to buy. Artists have signed their works on the back, but art-buyers will be purchasing blind until the transaction is completed. “I’m really impressed with the variety and the level of paintings we’ve been getting already,” said Wellman.

Sid Akselrod’s art class (above, below) at Steveston-London were eager to work on pieces for the GuessWho? art show at Pioneer Church, set for Nov. 2. About 31 students’ works from Steveston-London secondary will hang beside those of well-known professionals from across the Lower Mainland such as Joyce Kamikura, John Ferrie, Chris Charlebois and Dennis Magnusson. “It really evens the playing field,” said Precilia Kong, a Grade 12 student. “If you’re less known, but have a lot of talent, it allows you to express this artistic ability to the community.” The art scene in Richmond has recently seen an influx of motivated youth, eager to showcase their pieces outside of school. This year’s Steveston Grand Prix of Art saw the highest number of youth register. “They’re really skilled and confident,” said Steveston-London art teacher Sid Akselrod. “Kids are brave, way braver than most adults. “They don’t think too much before throwing themselves into something. It’s good for them to feel something special and different. We need them to continue it on and invest in that creative community spirit.”

Akselrod, who heads his school’s art club, bought about two-dozen canvases for students to participate in the show. Within days, he had run out. “It feels wonderful to be able to display beside professional artists,” said Daniel Fang, also in Grade 12. “I feel like I can get some recognition for my work, while also helping the community.” Artists receive $50 when their piece sells, with the other $50 going to the Richmond Food Bank. Wellman also hopes the event encourages people to buy art and realize it doesn’t always have to be an expensive purchase. “Once people have an original piece of art in their house, the IKEA posters aren’t going to cut it anymore,” she said. “They’ll start investing in more and supporting the community.” Artists have until Oct. 23 to submit up to three pieces of art. On Nov. 2, the event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but buyers are encouraged to show up early as pieces are expected to go fast.

When you listen to Vini play, it is like a classical and religious experience rolled into one, which leaves you trying to figure out what you have just heard and, even better, you want to hear it again. Very relaxing it takes

out of the box, this is the boy for you! The Durutti Column, named after the Spanish Civil War anarchist movement, has basically always been Vini and guest drummers and musicians. This guy has an impeccable technique, which reminds me of the Shadows guitarist Hank Marvin in some way. Born in Manchester in 1953, Vini was a delicate boy who suffered with his health. He doesn’t play live much because of it, but has been recording since 1977 — the punk years, which introduced so many great musicians. He signed to Tony Wilson’s Factory Records in 1978, which allowed him the freedom to develop his own style. His first band was the classic punk band named Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds. He recorded the debut sandpaper sleeved album called The Return of the Durutti Column in 1979 with long time collaborator Bruce Mitchell on drums who is now in his 70s. This is probably my favourite album. With it’s sandpaper sleeve it would rub up against the other LPs in your collection and damage their sleeves, another way for Vini to separate himself from the rest of us. The group has released, to this point, a staggering 29 albums and each has reached cult status to a growing number of loyal fans worldwide. In 1988, Vini joined Morrissey on his solo album Viva Hate playing some excellent guitar, but declined to be involved with Morrissey’s follow-up album, preferring to follow his own experimental path. In America, Vini’s work was used on TV commercials for Pacific Bell TV in California. In September 2010, Vini suffered a minor stroke. Please join me in wishing him a speedy recovery and all the very best for the future. A mighty talent. Check him out! Frankie Nielson owns The Beat Merchant Record Store in Steveston Village.

Community Halloween whodunnit at cannery

FUNDRAISER

Vital night needed for Richmond animal shelter Annual gala is RAPS’ big chance to raise money BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

Their monthly vet bills alone can often hit the $20,000 mark. It’s an astonishing figure that piles even more pressure on the Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) to raise as much money as possible at its annual gala. Last year, RAPS’ inaugural black-tie gala rustled up an impressive $40,000 for the no-kill shelter, which saves, cares for and adopts out thousands of stricken, abandoned and unwanted animals every year in the city. This year, the “Paws and Pumpkins Halloween Gala” is set for Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Delta Vancouver Airport Hotel. And with around 100 of the 300 tickets still to be sold, time is running out for RAPS to cash in on what is its single biggest moneymaker for the year. “I guess this is the hard part of being a no-kill shelter,” said RAPS’ executive director Carol Reichert, referring to vet bills it shells out to keep the animals alive. “But we love them all and we wouldn’t have it any other way.” The need for donations and fundraising at RAPS was all the more evident earlier this year when 38 dogs were dumped in cages and crates at the No. 5 Road shelter’s front door. Thankfully, only five of them have yet to be adopted out. But it cost RAPS thousands of dollars to vaccinate, feed and board the dogs before they could find new homes. It’s such expenditures that RAPS hopes will be softened by next week’s gala, which volunteer Cathy Gvora promises is going to be a fun night. “Dressing up is optional, but there will be prizes for the best costume,” she said. “There’s going to be a wonderful buffet, a DJ, a live band, an Elvis impersonator and some amazing silent auction prizes. “It’s an extremely important night for us and we’d love to sell as many tickets as possible to help the shelter throughout the year.”

Some of the auction prizes include: An allexpenses paid trip to Victoria, courtesy of Harbour Air; an $800-value Invicta men’s watch; prints by artist Brittani Faulkes and a Mini Cooper for the weekend, courtesy of Yaletown

Mini Cooper. Tickets for the gala — $100 each or $900 for a table of 10 — are available online at www.rapsociety.com or in person at the shelter at 12071 No. 5 Road or by calling 604 275 2036. To buy tickets for the gala fundraiser

There’s a been a “murder” at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and the public is being invited to help solve this spooky, whodunnit, Halloween mystery. On Oct. 26 and 27, guests can tag along with the intrepid sleuth Detective Adams as he winds his way through the eerie cannery building in Steveston, interviewing workers from the shadowy past. The hard living on cannery row makes for hard feelings, so there is no shortage of suspects who may have done away with George McMillan, the cannery’s wealthy owner. View the investigation at the scene of the crime, and see how Adams interrogates the suspects. Each employee has a motive and the means, but the question remains: who killed McMillan? Are they still in the building? Who else is next! Tours start each day at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Advance

CANADA’S PREMIERE ONLINE GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE

Four Questions with Elizabeth Hurley Anya Georgijevic

October marks the national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and no brand has been more crucial to the fight against the disease as Estée Lauder, in its relentless campaigning and fundraising over the last two decades. The exquisitely beautiful Elizabeth Hurley has played a vital part in the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign since signing as the company spokesperson back in 1995. Intelligent and articulate, Elizabeth Hurley gave us an update on the company’s crusade against the agonizing disease, and even found time to give us a couple of valuable beauty tips. You’ve been an Estée Lauder spokesperson for almost two decades -- a rare thing in this industry. When you signed in 1995, did you think it would become a role of a lifetime? I couldn’t have dreamt it. I think my initial contract was two years. I was thrilled beyond belief when it was picked up again, after two years. It’s really been like having a second family. You’ve personally been affected by breast cancer; you lost your grandmother to the disease. Was that one of the reasons why you’ve been so passionately involved since the beginning? When Evelyn [Lauder] told me about her campaign, during my first two or three weeks at the company, I suppose my ears did perk up a bit more because of my grandmother. It was so sad the way she hadn’t told anybody about her lump, for the very reasons Evelyn went on to explain why she was doing the campaign. Because she said, “women are dying all over the world and nobody is talking about it.” She was so inspired by the AIDS activists, who, at that time, were very active. You also live and promote a healthy lifestyle, as part of the breast cancer prevention. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? I love living in the countryside, and I’ve always loved feeling healthy. Evelyn Lauder always said to me, “Don’t put on weight. It is not good for you in any way. Not because you won’t look as good, but it could be dangerous for your health.” It’s great for us that doctors and research scientists are now speaking out and saying that they really do believe that we can make a difference by following a healthy lifestyle. They know that we really have to go out of our way to deliberate exercise. I know I don’t step up so much on that one. I’m very active, but I don’t really do exercise regime, and I should. Eating-wise, I’ve eaten pretty well in the last 30 years, so I feel okay in that aspect. What are the goals of this year’s “Let’s Defeat Breast Cancer. We’re Stronger Together” campaign? We know we’ve succeeded in some way with the awareness, and we’ve helped raise a huge amount of money. The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign itself has raised $48 million US dollars, most of which they’ve donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, also started by Evelyn Lauder, which has raised nearly half a billion dollars for research. What we’re trying to do this year is encourage people to get together and make a difference themselves. Small scale, big scale: it doesn’t matter. It might be getting a couple of your friends together, and all of you making a pledge to do something about it. It’s all about our “Circle of Strength” and all of that can be seen on BCAcampaign.com, and as well as Facebook, which you’re all on, so no excuses!
