We’ve all had that experience.

At a party and you just know that face but, agonizingly, can’t put a name to it.

Usually, when you talk to said unknown, you dance around the fact they were so memorable you can’t remember their name and nervously fake your way through the conversation until their identity hits you.

5 34

Well, apparently, Cadillac Fairview (CF) — the owners of Richmond Centre shopping mall and 22 like it across Canada — have an app for that.

It’s called “facial recognition technology” and, whether you like it or not, is almost certainly coming to a mall digital directory near you very soon…if it hasn’t already?

Richmond Centre may already be there. We’re not sure, as CF — which has suspended use of the tech after being called out by a customer in Calgary last month — won’t say if Richmond was using it, citing the current investigation by Canada’s privacy commissioner.

OK, so the tech can’t yet put a name to the face (I embellished to illustrate the path we’re on) and CF claims it was only using the software and cameras in mall directories to track shoppers’ ages and genders. Problem is, and this is what the investigation is looking at, they didn’t tell anyone or ask their permission.

If a mall is using tech to identify my sex and approximate my age, I’d prefer to be asked first and be informed what they’re using that information for.

Some of the chatter on the News’ Facebook page suggested people shouldn’t be so naïve and should wake up to the fact our privacy has long since been lost to social media usage.

But I accept such invasions are inevitable when I sign up for Facebook, SnapChat et al. I don’t, however, expect to be profiled electronically when out for a stroll through a mall.

Although, I’m not sure how ascertaining I’m a middle-aged male tells you much about what I may or may not buy? For all they know, I could be going to Claire’s Accessories or Aritzia for the latest gear? I know. But it’s possible.

12

As my first boss, Mr. Lee, always told me, with a furrowed brow, “It’s dangerous to presume, Alan. Never presume.”

40

It is, as Mr. Lee, warned, a slippery slope to presume I’ve consented in some way to being “facially recognized.”

And if facial recognition tech and using its data is deemed by the privacy commissioner to be legal, where do we draw the line? In a decade’s time, am I going to be tracked by my face if I go to the liquor store more than once a week?

“There goes alcoholic Alan, hit him with some ads.”

We can argue to the end of the day the pros and cons of the tech and whether or not it’ll make for a better “shopping experience.” But what it comes down to is “knowledge” of what you’re entering into and “consent” for it to proceed.

41

Once those mechanisms are in place, shopping malls can recognize away and put as many names to faces as they want.

It’s unlikely to be mine.

Yes. I’m always into technology; I work on artificial intelligence. With this technology you can control more things; you can know how many people are in the mall; you can make it safer.

No. I think for privacy reasons, they should ask for permission from anyone who is coming to the mall, because some people don’t want to be seen or don’t want to be on any kind of record.

LETTERS Deforestation leads to fires Dear Editor, When you mess with native forests, they become more flammable. Commercial logging of moist native forests creates conditions that increase the severity and frequency of bushfires. Is it simply a coincidence that the province with the highest rates of deforestation is suffering the worst forest fires in our country?

There have been a number of studies done on the relationship between deforestation and forest fires. They all seem to conclude the same thing: deforestation is causing our forests to become more prone to wildfires. Logging can change forests in many ways that could influence wildfire frequency, extent and severity. These include changing: microclimates, stand structure and species composition, fuel characteristics, the prevalence of ignition points, and patterns of landscape cover. Commercial logging of moist native forests creates conditions that increase the sever-

ity and frequency of bushfires.

From a study done in the Amazon (a much wetter climate), we learned that majority of the active fires and the most intense ones, were found within the first kilometre from the edges of deforested areas, close to those dry pockets.

The study also concluded that fire density increased with habitat loss.

Do a simple google image search of “B.C. fires bird’s eye view” and compare the results. Right away, you will notice how close these fires are to the edge of logged areas [dry pockets], where yearly logging has increased ground dryness.

What has the continuous logging of billions of trees over many years done to the vegetation, micro-climate, humidity, and ground of our forests? Think about it. I welcome all comments on weatherpeace. blogspot.ca

It’s not divisive to end birth tourism

The blame game gets tiresome

Dear Editor: Re: “Birth tourism takes on national focus,” online.

Dear Editor, Richmond has a problem. Young families cannot afford to buy a home, existing homeowners struggle to pay tax on their overpriced properties and the food service and retail industries struggle to find staff.

It is very difficult to live in Richmond on minimum wage.

Our politicians search tirelessly to find someone else to blame. We have the highest fuel prices in the country, which makes commuting very expensive. Therefore, homes with shorter commutes are more attractive and ultimately more expensive.

So what do our leaders do? They raise transit fares and put more tax on a litre of fuel.

As we move into a municipal election, perhaps it is time that we ask our future leaders what they intend to do. Will they fix the problem or find someone else to blame?

Joseph Cek RICHMOND

Esthetics Denture New Studio Dentures or a Creating Smile? the Art Natural of Nature

Finally, federal and provincial politicians are waking up to the issue of birth tourism. However, our city representatives seem particularly quiet on this front. I think it is time for us to make it illegal for anyone to become a citizen through this practice unless at least one of their parents is a citizen or has permanent resident status.

Jus soli is an old and outdated form of obtaining citizenship in a modern age. Why should anyone be given citizenship simply because they were born here and whose parents have no intention of staying or contributing to our country? Some residents in Richmond have had to give birth in hospitals outside the city due to birth tourists. I fear that because the businesses catering to these visitors are unregulated, the young women could be taken advantage of on various levels. Since they do not speak English, whom would they report any problems to? Also, Canadians do not like queue-jumpers, and this way of gaining citizenship seems unfair, especially to those who have endured the often years-long process of becoming Canadian.

This is not about division or hate. It is about doing what is just and right for all Canadians.

Welcome Liberals at fault for transit tie-ups back, drive The Editor, Re: “Tunnel review too slow: Johal,” News, Sept. 9.

In no way can a new crossing of the South Arm of the Fraser be contemplated until a new crossing of the North Arm of the Fraser to South Vancouver/ Burnaby is included in the planning. If not, gridlock will just move to Steveston Highway!

It was the Liberal Party that built the faux P-3 Canada Line, a prestigious subway for Vancouver, which the region pays dearly for. It was so expensive the scope of the project had to be reduced to the point where it has only 40 to 50 metre long station platforms, permitting the

It was the BC Liberals who trashed the plan to twin the Massey Tunnel and instead build a politically prestigious mega bridge, thus also trashing regional transportation planning to suit their politcal timetable

As built, the Canada Line has slightly more than half the capacity of the rest of the SkyTrain system. Internationally, the Canada Line is considered a classic white elephant as no one has copied the Canada Line or has shown any interest in it at all!

So please, Liberal MLAs don’t moan about the Massey Tunnel, as it was politcal interference by former premiers, Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark, that has caused the problem in the first place.

It was under the Liberals watch that the Canada Line was built not to be compatible with the rest of the SkyTrain system.

The cost, just to increase the Canada Line’s capacity to match that of the rest of the rapid transit system is now estimated to be more than $1.5 billion and there isn’t even a hint of

Pieces owner kept me in one piece Dear Editor,

Dear Editor, On behalf of the Richmond Board of Education, I am pleased to welcome our students and families to a new and exciting school year.

To ensure that our children get safely to their schools, we thank Richmond motorists for taking special care while driving through school zones and around playgrounds.

With the start of the school year, we remind Richmond motorists that school speed zones are in effect on all school days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h.

Please watch and be ready to stop for children waiting to cross the road and disembarking from vehicles. If we all do our part, our children will arrive at school safely, ready to take on the exciting challenges of school each day.

Eric Yung

I want to express my deepest gratitude to David, the owner of Pieces gift store in Steveston.

While taking a leisurely walk in Steveston with my husband and a friend, I fell on a sidewalk right across the street from David’s gift store. I scraped my forearm, elbow and my knee and was bleeding badly.

In an instant a man appeared (at that time we had no idea who he was) with a roll of paper towels and a white plastic bag. He wrapped my arm and insisted I must go and sit down.

With my arm up in the air, we crossed the street so I could have a seat on the bench in front of his store. Then, he organized both my husband and my friend to take me to the ER. I received 19 stitches in my forearm and four stitches on my knee. It was an unpleasant ending to a beautiful afternoon and all I can say is if you have to fall, fall in front of David’s store and you will be well taken care of. Again, my sincere thanks to David.

Choosing the best person to be Mom’s Committee Reasons for judgment were released earlier this summer in a case called Re Douglas. In this case, the B.C. Supreme Court was called upon to choose, between two applicant sisters, who should be their Mother’s Committee. Their mother had suffered a stroke and is now living in a Surrey care facility. There are four children in the family. Overall, the relationships among them are not close.

The two siblings who are not applicants, supported one of the sisters. One of the prime concerns of the Court was that the applicant sister supported by the other two siblings had not been much in contact with their mother for 4 years. The other sister was very involved in their mother’s life but virtually estranged from her 3 siblings. The Court considered the Public Guardian & Trustee of B.C. (“PGT”) as a possible Committee but the PGT generally prefers that a family member act as Committee. The Court chose the sister who has been closer to their mother. The Court took great care to arrive at its decision. The judgment is thorough. The Court felt that the best interests of the mother, which are paramount, did favour (though not by much) the successful sister. It is noteworthy that the mother’s Estate was ordered to pay the legal costs of each sister. Undoubtedly that will be expensive, which suggests that every family should consider having their parents make Powers of Attorney and Representation Agreements, which are far less costly.

NEWS The city hopes that the new River Parkway will reduce congestion and ensure the development of a new 37-acre waterfront park, Lulu Island Park.

$13.2M project aims to ease city centre traffic flow Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

On Wednesday, a ground-breaking ceremony launched the construction of River Parkway, a new transportation link that will aim to ease traffic flow in Richmond’s City Centre.

The $13.2 million project will extend River Parkway from Gilbert Road, along the old railway to Cambie and No. 3 roads. Completion of the project is expected by early 2020.

“The opening of River Parkway will provide a huge improvement to traffic flow throughout north Richmond,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

“It will provide a great new option for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians travelling to and through the City Centre. It will also facilitate eventual development of the new Lulu Island Park, a major new 37-acre waterfront park along the Middle Arm that will serve residents, workers and tourists within the City Centre.”

TransLink pitched in $2.55 million to the project, specifically for cycling and pedestrian components of the project. The remainder of the funding was sourced from Roads Development Cost Charges.

“TransLink is proud to support such an important project in the city of Richmond,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond.

“Our mandate is to make it easier for people to get around the region regardless of how they travel. The River Parkway project will build some great new walking and cycling connections, and help people to connect to Canada Line.”

According to the city, the project will begin with a two-lane road and separate, protected bike lanes.

Additionally, paved walkways for pedestrians, a signalized connection at Leslie Road, new traffic signals, new streetlights and an off-street multi-use path on Cambie between River and No. 3 roads are all included in the project.

Once completed, a section of River Road running from Gilbert to Cambie roads will be closed for the development of the 37-acre Lulu Island Park.

Mall private about probe Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

The owners of Richmond Centre shopping mall are refusing to say whether or not they used facial recognition technology without customers’ permission or knowledge.

Cadillac Fairview (CF) — a Canadian real estate company which owns and operates 23 malls across the country — is being investigated by the privacy commissioner of Canada after a complaint was made by a mall customer in Calgary.

In early August, the female customer noticed an embedded camera operating on the digital directory at CF’s Chinook Centre in Calgary.

Asked by the Richmond News if the same facial recognition technology was being used at Richmond Centre, a spokesperson for CF refused to provide any details, citing the fact a “privacy investigation” is underway.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) was part of the pressure to launch an investigation, saying that, at the very least, “people need to be able to exercise choice.”

(The OPC has) opened an investigation into Cadillac Fairview and its use of facial recognition technology in mall digital directories

The CCLA has raised questions about whether the company is collecting and using personal information without consent.

A news release from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) said it has “opened an investigation into Cadillac Fairview and its use of facial recognition technology in mall digital directories.”

The OPC said its investigation “will examine whether the organization’s practices are in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s federal private sector privacy law.”

OD outreach expands to Richmond Tunnel review too slow: Johal Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

Currently, the outreach team is made of four outreach workers and three social workers. Two additional outreach workers will help with the program’s expansion.

“Outreach is reaching out and connecting people to care,” said Chris Dickinson, one of the team’s outreach workers, in a press release. “We are here to let people know they are supported, and in the event they do want help with substance use, or they have questions about resources, we are here for them.”

The announcement of the program’s expansion came on Aug. 31, International Overdose Awareness Day. “Today marks International Overdose Awareness Day, and we honour and remember those we have lost to this terrible crisis,” said Judy Darcy, men-

plan to begin building a bridge to replace the chronically gridlocked and seismically unsafe tunnel. But when the NDP came into power in 2017, they scrapped that plan and commissioned an independent review looking at how to best replace the tunnel.

Vancouver Coastal Health’s Overdose Outreach Team is expanding to both Richmond and the North Shore in an effort to connect more people to support systems.

RICHMOND NEWS

With traffic threatening to worsen as students head back to school, RichmondQueensborough MLA Jas Johal wants answers about the George Massey Tunnel.

A team of outreach workers and social workers will connect people at risk of overdosing with a support system. Photo submitted tal health and addictions minister in a statement. “Last year, we lost 1,450 people here in B.C., and by the end of this day three or four more British Columbians will die from a drug overdose as a result of a poisoned and unpredictable illegal drug supply.”

Since May 2017, VCH’s outreach team has connected with 932 people.

Some were referred from emergency departments after being treated for an overdose, but anyone is able to contact the service.

“Given that the drug supply is so contaminated with fentanyl the team is hyper aware that every person who overdoses could one day be at risk of a fatal overdose. Knowing this drives them to connect with all new referrals as quickly as possible – often on the same day that we receive a referral,” says Misty Bath, VCH manager. “It’s as simple as calling us.”

The service is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Messages can be left anytime at 604-360-2874.

That report was completed in June 2018, and a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure told the Richmond News it is “thoroughly reviewing the report to consider its findings and possible next steps.”

He’s one of several BC Liberals criticizing the NDP government for what he calls its slow movement to replace the ageing underwater tunnel that connects Richmond and Delta.

“Motorists could be seeing construction underway on a replacement for the tunnel.

But instead, piles of sand lay idle by the side of the road and there isn’t a worker in sight,” Johal said.

Johal, though, says the ministry is taking too long.

“People living south of the Fraser as well as commercial truck drivers have been asking for a solution for years.

How much longer will the NDP make them wait?”

More classes free of book fees seen the impact so far.”

Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

It brings grief to nearly all post-secondary students this time of year: after paying thousands of dollars for tuition, exorbitant costs for textbooks roll in next.

Hoping to help ease the financial burden for some of its students, Kwantlen Polytechnic University has launched its second program with no textbook costs.

Now, along with the Certificate in Arts, the university has added the adult graduation diploma to the “Zed Cred” program.

The “Z” in “Zed” stands for zero textbook costs, while the “cred” refers to the possibility of completing all academic credits in the specified program.

“Kwantlen has been the leading adopter of open textbooks and other open educational resources for many years so there’s a lot of interest and support within the KPU community,” KPU’s special advisor to the provost on open education, Rajiv Jhangiani, told the Richmond News, adding that the first Zed Cred programs only began this past January.

“Cost savings, course performance and (lower) withdrawal rates is where we’ve

According to Jhangiani, 54 per cent of post-secondary students in B.C. do not purchase the required textbooks for their courses, while 26 per cent choose to not register for a course because of textbook costs.

“What was worse, was that we found that these students who were making these choices were disproportionately likely to be students who hold a student loan, those who are self-identifying as visible minorities and those who are first to attend university in their family.

“So it really for us underscored that this is not just a problem, but this is a problem that’s affecting students who are already marginalized the most.”

something, you’re just heightening one’s own anxiety, you’re feeling less-than as it is, you’re feeling a sense of shame that you don’t have what the rest of the kids in the class have,” said Amanda Coolidge, senior manager of open education with BCcampus.

This is not just a problem, but this is a problem that’s affecting students who are already marginalized the most.

“We want students to come in on day one and feel welcome and feel like their education matters, to feel cared for, to feel like access is important…it comes down to creating a more inclusive learning environment for students.”

BCcampus, an organization that supports B.C.’s post-secondary schools in evolving their teaching methods, has been advocating for open education resources – or freely available textbooks, toolkits and other learning materials – since 2012.

For BCcampus, which gave KPU a $35,000 grant to help run its Zed Cred program, this RAJIV JHANGIANI added burden on marginalized students can not only lead “Open materials of any to academic struggles, but personal ones kind…is just the right of the public. Anytoo. thing that’s publicly funded should be pub“When you can’t afford to purchase licly available,” said Coolidge, explaining

that open textbooks don’t just enable students to access them for free, but also allows instructors to cater materials to their specific course.

“With an open textbook, the faculty member has the opportunity to make revisions as needed, based on the needs of their students and also revisions based on the learning outcomes.”

While it’s difficult to assess just how much students are paying for materials – especially since many students now opt to share, borrow or even download items to save money – BCcampus estimates its collection of nearly 260 open materials has saved students more than $9 million.

New to the Zed Cred program using open resources, KPU’s adult education graduation diploma enables adult learners to complete their grade 12 equivalency credits to earn their Dogwood Certificate.

“Textbook costs have been a consistent financial barrier to achieving a degree for many of us students,” said student Murdoch de Mooy in a press release.

“The Zed Cred program is an amazing initiative that helps alleviate the incredibly variable costs of textbooks every semester, while maintaining quality education throughout our entire degree pathway.”

Money-laundering rules taking a bite Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

B.C.’s new anti-money laundering rules appear to be working in Richmond but, as with most things in life, there’s a hefty price to be paid.

Quite how much that bill comes to is unclear. However, according to Great Canadian Gaming’s latest financial report, for the first six months of 2018, gaming table revenues at the River Rock Casino are down due, primarily, to recommendations from an independent review by Peter German, a former RCMP deputy commissioner.

Great Canadian said the reduction — it’s not known by how much — was partly attributable to a new requirement late last year for casinos to complete disclosures on the source of cash deposits or bearer bonds of more than $10,000.

“Although the source of funds procedures were instituted quickly, management’s analysis has indicated that the players at the company’s casinos are adjusting their playing habits and behavior accordingly,” read a section of the report.

The B.C. government launched the review

last year over concerns about Chinese highroller VIPs buying chips with huge amounts of cash that, it said, could be proceeds of crime.

Those issues were outlined in a confidential report commissioned by the BCLC from auditor MNP LLP that found $13.5 million in $20 bills had being accepted in the River Rock Casino in July 2015.

In releasing his final report at the end of June, German concluded that, for many years, certain Lower Mainland casinos unwittingly served as “laundromats” for the proceeds of organized crime and that laundered money was linked to drug trafficking and real estate transactions in the Lower Mainland’s heated housing market.

Last week, B.C. Attorney General David Eby told the Vancouver Sun that suspicious transactions flowing through B.C.’s casinos had dropped to $200,000 in March, 2018 from a high of $20 million in July, 2015.

Eby added that he recognized that the new rules would likely result in a drop in revenue for the casinos in question.

Great Canadian saw gaming revenues at B.C. casinos fall five per cent, or $6.6 million, in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Businesses that Tails Up Dog Walking

Women attacked with pepper spray Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

Three women were the targets of two separate pepper spray incidents in Richmond’s downtown core on Aug. 21 and police are warning the public to stay vigilant as they search for two unidentifiable male suspects.

“It appears these two incidents are connected,” said Cpl. Adriana Peralta, spokesperson for Richmond RCMP. “We want to remind the public to remain alert to their surroundings and to call 911 immediately to report any incidents involving weapons.”

RCMP said the two suspects are currently “unidentified and due to the nature of the incidents, the descriptions provided were extremely limited.”

According to police, the first reported incident took place in the 8400-block of Alexandra Road (just north of Lansdowne Centre).

“At approximately 10:30 p.m., two females were allegedly peppered sprayed by two unknown males as they left a local business. The females ran onto the road,

about dog walking.

1.Basic training. Dogs learn best when they can learn from each other. James said socializing with other dogs that vary in size and breed are vital steps in training friendly, intelligent dogs.

2.Building confidence. Dogs have social lives just like humans do; letting your dog spend time with its friends is a great way to build confidence. “From my experience, allowing your dog to walk with the same group of dogs on a weekly basis creates better trained, more relaxed dogs,” he said.

3.Helping with time and physical barriers. All dogs, regardless of the breed and size, need daily exercise. If you are someone who works long hours or who has a physical ailment or disability, dog walkers can guarantee that your dog can still get the necessary exercise.

4.Saving you money. “A dog walker is always a good option to help the dog not damage any furniture or clothing from frustration of not enough exercise,” James explained. Mid-day walks also give dogs the chance to relieve themselves, saving owners time and money spent on cleaning droppings.

“A happy dog makes a happy owner and vice versa,” James said. More than exercise and socialization, dog walkers can unleash a peace of mind, for both humans and canines.

Dogs are more similar to us than you may think. Like their humans, dogs thrive off of regular exercise and group socialization.

When they get to play with others, burn off their energy, and learn about the world around them, they get a chance to become the upstanding beings we always knew they were.

Dog walkers are becoming increasingly more abundant, especially in Richmond where off-leash dog parks and dog-friendly beaches beckon many canine enthusiasts.

However, despite growing numbers, not all dog walkers are the same. One of Richmond’s most sought-after dog walking services that has a spot among the best is Tails Up Dog Walking.

The entrepreneur behind the business is James Heunefeld, known in his community for his bright blue Tails Up uniform and his entourage of smiling dogs. With pick up and drop off services, behavioural training experience and a natural affinity for exercise and dogs, James has earned an unmatched reputation in the city.

James knows a thing or two about keeping dogs happy and healthy – and it is all

The second reported incident took place a short while later in the 4300-block of No. 3 Road (just north east of Aberdeen Centre).

At approximately 11 p.m., two unknown males allegedly approached a female as she was putting items into her car. The two males were allegedly armed, one with a knife and the other with a can of pepper spray. According to the victim, one of the males said something to the effect of “give me your stuff” at which point the victim screamed and ran away. She believed the pepper spray was deployed. The female sought assistance from a friend who was in the area and called 911.”

Peralta said investigators would like to speak to the Good Samaritan from Alexandra Road.

Order of Canada for Steveston resident Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

When Bryan Tisdall got a call in May 2017 telling him he’d be joining the Order of Canada, he thought it was a prank.

“I pick up and it’s Genevieve something-or-other from the governor general’s office. They say, you’ve been recommended for the Order of Canada would you be willing to accept?

And I say come on, who are you really,” Tisdall laughed.

He’d been sitting in his car in the driveway of his Steveston home, and now, more than a year later, he still finds the honour hard to believe. He’s in Ottawa today (Sept. 6) for his investiture ceremony.

“It has reinforced with me a responsibility. I look at it as what’s ahead.

What can I do now?” he said.

Tisdall has had a remarkable career contributing to science education in B.C., spending nearly two decade as CEO of Science World from 1997 to

2016. He never shied away from controversial exhibits and took the iconic False Creek orb from a floundering operation to a renowned not-for-profit that doesn’t rely on government funding for any ongoing support.

He came to Science World from a stint as general manager of Exhibition Place and the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Before that, he worked as director of finance and administration for the Metropolitan Toronto Police and as director of planning and production services with TVOntario.

“Don’t pre-determine too precisely what it is you want to be,” he said.

“Was being (a certain professional) your goal from when you were in a sandbox at four years old?”

The key, he thinks, is to do things you enjoy that also have an impact.

“But be open to opportunity. Prepare yourself,” he said. “And assess and respond to opportunity as it develops.”

He remembers clearly the day he decided to move from the Toronto

neighbourhood he grew up in to Metro Vancouver.

“I was sitting in my desk, having no intention of ever leaving Exhibition Place, when the search consultant called … and said ‘I have another opportunity for you, at the science centre’. And I said, ‘I’m not a scientist!’

And he said, ‘that’s exactly what they don’t want.’”

As it turned out, Science World already had good scientists and science leadership. What they needed was someone to manage the organization.

And that’s what Tisdall did. During his time, the facility saw a massive renovation and reliable revenue through gate admissions, food services and facility rentals—from business meetings to weddings.

The biggest part, though, was focusing on exhibits that people would find interesting.

“We were a little colourful, quirky and cacophonous. Because that’s the way you get (the point) across.”

Tisdall: Do I curtsy or do I giver her a hug?

One of those exhibits, though, brought explosive controversy. It was called Body Worlds, and it used real human cadavers to illuminate our innermost workings.

12

Certain groups thought the preservation process was disrespectful to the dead. There were also allegations that some of the bodies belonged to executed political prisoners.

Another science centre had backed out, and the exhibit was offered to Science World on short notice. Once an ethics panel determined the people in the exhibit had consented to their bodies being used, Tisdall knew Science World had to run it.

The exhibit was a smashing success. During its final weekend, Science World issued timed tickets to guests and stayed open 24 hours a day. The only timeslots not sold out were after 3 a.m., Tisdall recalled.

He thinks the appetite for such knowledge speaks to the importance of scientific education that’s done in a fun and accessible way.

“It’s to develop an appreciation for the (the fact that) science isn’t only test tubes and laboratories and old white guys with curly hair.

It’s everywhere and it’s all-pervasive.”

He also says learning to think like a scientist is important, no matter what one does with

their life.

“It’s being analytical. It’s being questioning.

It’s being open,” he said. “It’s appreciating you may never have all the answers.”

Over the years, Tisdall knitted several connections between Science World and Richmond. Kids in Richmond public schools got the chance to act as test groups for new exhibits. Science World also operated a nowclosed retail store near Aberdeen Station.

When Tisdall retired, colleague Suan Teo decided it would make a good gift to nominate him for the Order of Canada. But, as per Order of Canada nomination rules, she couldn’t tell him she put his name forward.

That’s why he thought the call was a joke.

He was appointed a member of the order on July 1, 2017. On Thursday, governor general Julie Payette will place a medal around his neck at the official ceremony. Tisdall thinks it will have special meaning since he and Payette are friends from her time serving as Montreal Science Centre director.

“You’ve got to curtsy to the Queen, but do I say ‘hi Julie’ and give her a hug?” he joked.

“I don’t think you can give her a hug,” replied Teo, who accompanied him to the Richmond News interview.

Understanding Conflict of Interest and other Procedural Rules for Local Government There has been considerable public discussion in Richmond recently about conflict of interest and other procedural rules for elected officials in local government. These matters are governed by legislation enacted by the Province of BC.

Conflict of Interest The legislation acknowledges that elected officials (who have typically been very engaged in their communities in a wide range of capacities) will inevitably encounter conflict of interest situations. Councillors throughout the Province often maintain active employment and/or engage in businesses while serving as Councillors. The legislation recognizes this reality and imposes high standards on Councillors to ensure that they avoid conflict situations.

On a high-level basis, the legislative requirements are as follows: Disclosure of Conflict If a Councillor attending a meeting considers that he or she is not entitled to participate or vote because of a conflict of interest, the Councillor must declare this and state in general terms the reason why he or she considers this to be the case and leave the meeting for the duration of any discussion or vote on that matter.

Councillors are also obliged to report to the City if the Councillor has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any contract with the City. The existence of such contract must be reported as soon as reasonably practicable at an Open Council meeting.

Restrictions on participation if in conflict During Council meetings, Councillors must not participate in discussions or vote on a matter if the Councillor has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the matter or another interest in the matter that constitutes a conflict of interest. (A pecuniary interest is a financial interest.)

In addition, if a Councillor has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter, the Councillor must not: • remain or attend at any part of a meeting during which the matter is under consideration; or • attempt in any way, whether before, during or after such a meeting, to influence the voting on any question in respect of the matter.

www.richmond.ca

Exceptions from conflict restrictions There are exceptions to conflict restrictions. For example, Council members are not considered to be in a conflict of interest if: • the pecuniary interest of the Councillor is a pecuniary interest in common with all voters in the City generally, such as voting on setting of general property tax matters, where the Councillor is a property owner; • the matter relates to remuneration, expenses or benefits payable to one or more Council members in relation to their duties as Council members; or • the pecuniary interest is so remote or insignificant that it cannot reasonably be regarded as likely to influence the Councillor in relation to the matter.

Restrictions on use of insider information A Councillor must not use information or a record that was obtained in the performance of the Councillor’s office and is not available to the general public in order to gain or further a direct or indirect pecuniary interest.

Obligations on Councillors to make annual public disclosure of their financial assets and sources of income The BC Financial Disclosure Act requires Councillors to make annual public disclosure of the following: • the name of each corporation in which the person or a trustee for the person holds one or more shares; • the name of each business situated or carrying on business in BC and financially remunerating the Councillor as an owner, part owner, trustee or partner; • the name of each business located or carrying on business in BC and financially remunerating the Councillor for services performed by the person as an employee; • the name of each organization located in BC and financially remunerating the Councillor for an office held by the person that is not disclosed pursuant to the above provisions; • the name of the creditor for each debt of the Councillor; and

• a description and location of land in BC in which the Councillor or a trustee for that person owns an interest or has an agreement entitling him or her to acquire an interest.

Such disclosures must be made available to the public for inspection during normal business hours.

Election Campaign Financing The Local Elections Campaign Financing Act governs local government election campaign financing and disclosure. Highlights of this Act include: • only eligible individuals may make campaign contribution. An “eligible individual” is an individual who is a resident of BC and who is either a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident; • an organization (such as a corporation or a union) or an individual, other than an eligible individual, must not make a campaign contribution; • individuals and organizations wishing to participate in local election campaigns as sponsors of third-party advertising must not sponsor election advertising “on behalf of or together with” a candidate or party; • the campaign contribution limit is $1,200 per year per campaign to a candidate who is not endorsed by a party; or $1,200 in total per year per campaign for any one party and all the candidates endorsed by that party.

Closed meetings The Community Charter provides that as a general rule, all Council meetings must be open to the public unless the Act expressly permits them to be closed. Council meetings may be closed if the subject matter being considered relates to labour and employee relations, legal matters, land acquisition, land disposition and other matters as prescribed by the Charter. Any Councillor who believes a matter should not be heard at a Closed Council meeting can ask for the matter to be discussed at an Open Council meeting and then the issue is put to a vote by Council.

He was a true “pillar of the community,” who loved adventure and gave generously to Richmond charities as often as he could.

He was married for 24 years to Barbara and had two daughters, Michele (Bruce) and Lisa (John), followed by his grandchildren, Carly (Steve), Ryan, Sydney (Roberto), Fraser (Stephanie), Spencer, Sophia and Asher.

A born and bred Richmondite, Greczmiel was renowned in his industry for having “an amazing eye for design and style.”

In 1958, Greczmiel turned to house building after a successful career as a dairy farmer, forming E.H. Greczmiel Construction and Conway Richmond Estates which, in 1983, became Conway Richmond Ltd. Such as his contribution to the community, he and his company were lauded by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce in 2015 by being inducted into the Business Excellence Awards Hall of Fame.

In the business world, Greczmiel will be remembered for developing Maple Lane, Westwind and Terra Nova.

The highlights of his later years were his great grandchildren, Anastasis, Athena and Aeryn.

Gene Greczmiel passed away peacefully on Aug. 11 at the age of 89.

Before his death, he had built up a strong reputation in the community as someone who cared about people, as well as being respected within the industries he served. Photo submitted Later, his company grew to include commercial real estate, owning commercial centres in Richmond, including Blundell Centre.

But away from business, Greczmiel was a generous benefactor to the com-

munity, supporting organizations such as the Richmond Hospital Foundation, BC Children’s Hospital, Pathways Clubhouse Society, Richmond Food Bank, Salvation Army, Union Gospel Mission, Richmond Christmas Fund, Richmond Working Poor Fund, Richmond Society for Community

Greczmiel’s greatest passions were family, boating and travel and he was fortunate enough to be able to spend many years enjoying all three, walking for miles locally and across many countries.

According to his family, he “was an incredible teacher and story teller.

“We are all truly thankful and feel extremely blessed to have had him in our lives for as long as we did.”

A celebration of life for Greczmiel was held Tuesday, Aug. 28 at the Britannia Shipyards in Steveston.

In focusing on housing, Greater Vancouver residents and businesses believe municipal governments have missed the mark on transportation issues, and local politicians know it.

Mustel Group and FleishmanHillard HighRoad, in partnership with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, published Wednesday what GVBOT CEO Iain Black called “an experiment” – a guidebook for municipal leadership hopefuls based on survey feedback from the region’s general public, business community and political leadership.

According to the survey, 68 per cent of Greater Vancouver residents say their municipality has permitted too much housing, and that they are concerned transit infrastructure and roads cannot support the region’s growing population. Fifty-two per cent of business respondents agreed.

The results highlight a disconnect between the concerns of the region and how they have been handled by elected officials.

Forty-seven per cent of politicians believe municipalities have successfully struck a balance between adding new housing and managing subsequent transportation needs.

That belief, however, does come with a concession: 65 per cent admit the public thinks too much housing has been permitted in the region.

“The public is clear about wanting action on housing,”said Anna Lilly, senior vice-president and partner at FleishmanHillard HighRoad.

“However, there’s real concern about what people are calling overdevelopment,” she added. “There’s a real tension there.”

FULLY LICENCED LUNCH & DINNER CATERING

A new survey takes the pulse of the people, as well as businesses, leading up to municipal elections in October.

Unsurprisingly, concerns about the balance between transportation and housing are underscored by the widely held view that quality of life and affordability in Greater Vancouver has declined over the last five years.

While political candidates were most likely to hold this view (82%), they were also the most optimistic that conditions will improve over the next five years.

By comparison, 67 per cent of the region’s business community believe affordability will get worse, as does 62 per cent.

Again, the results of the VoteLocal survey highlight a slight disconnect between the views held by politicians, and those held by voters.

The general public and business community want municipal spending to prioritize local road maintenance and traffic management ahead of any other issue, even though residents generally listed housing affordability as the highest priority in their municipality, followed by transportation, and then overdevelopment.

By contrast, politicians placed planning and permitting for new developments at the top of their spending priority list.

Overall, 60 per cent of the business community believe municipal governments are on the wrong track. Residents were largely split on the issue. In

both groups, those that held this belief cited transportation as a top reason why – second only to local issues and negative political feedback.

“We asked them why,” said Evi Mustel, owner of Mustel Group. “Transportation is one of the key issues.”

Potentially complicating how political candidates address transportation in Greater Vancouver is the fact that half of the region’s current mayors will not be seeking re-election.

“This is largely unprecedented,” Translink CEO Kevin Desmond told a group of around 100 political leaders at the survey launch event in New West.

Nearly three-quarters of businesses said housing affected their ability to recruit and retain employees.

Trustee hopefuls share their visions Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

The three new candidates from Richmond First who are competing for seats on the Richmond Board of Education in October’s municipal election shared their visions with the Richmond News this week.

Jason Li currently owns a local crepe restaurant chain and a

music promotion agency that has hosted more than 50 concerts across North America, featuring top Asian artists.

of today.

“I found that many young people do not care about politics, but our voices need to be heard,” said Li, 32.

“Do they really understand students and what they actually want? Students also need to be represented, and we need a broad diversity of trustees,” said Li.

“So, I think it’s important for me to take steps to encourage more young people to get involved in local politics, which affects all of us; but many fail to see that.”

Li, who attended high school and university in Vancouver after moving here from China, said his student life is not too far behind him, and that helps him understand the students

“I don’t believe that only parents can be trustees,” said Li.

He hopes to focus on building a safe and equal environment for students if elected.

Norm Goldstein, who holds a PhD in mathematics, served as a school trustee in Richmond from 2011 to 2014 but didn’t get re-elected last term.

Goldstein said he has a strong interest in providing more educational opportunities that appeal to different types of learners.

“One of my main concerns is that students should be adequately challenged and be interested in their school work and the school they are attending, [but] a lot of students can get bored as the materials are not sufficiently challenging,” said Goldstein.

“We can have more programs within schools for certain groups of students who are suited to this. For example, in some schools, they have incentive programs for highly motivated students.”

Goldstein said he is also worried that homework is often not emphasized in mathematics.

“Homework is really necessary for learning mathematics; it’s not optional,” said Goldstein.

“It’s like learning tennis. Your coach can show you how to hit the ball, but you have to play many, many games on a tennis court before you are good; you can’t just listen.”

Tablotney to run for trustee as independent Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

Long-time school board trustee Debbie Tablotney has announced that she will run again in Richmond’s upcoming civic election, but this time, independently.

Tablotney, who previously ran as

part of Richmond First’s slate, has lived in Richmond since 1982 and has served as a trustee for over 15 years. She told the Richmond News the decision to run on her own was purely logistical, however.

Wong said, if elected, she will help better manage the school district’s funding.

“One of the trustee’s work is to manage and make the most of the funding the province gave to our district, including school repairing and seismic upgrades,” said Wong.

“I’m very experienced doing business and understand how to use the money most efficiently, so I can help with that.”

Moving here from Hong Kong 26 years ago, Wong said she also hopes to help bridge gaps between residents who have been here for a long time and those who are new.

“Some people who are new here find it difficult to integrate because of language barriers and cultural differences, and the divisions we saw recently on the SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) policy showed that,” said Wong.

“If I’m elected, I would like to continue to work on better communications to ease the conflict in the process of carrying out policies such as SOGI.”

A union representing a group of airport employees in the service industry at Vancouver International Airport is continuing its fight to see a $15 per hour mandatory minimum wage.

Fipe Wong, an HMSHost employee who has worked as a first cook at the airport for 23 years still only makes $16.50 per hour, forcing her to take on other part-time work.

“I’ve worked two jobs ever since I started working at the airport. I had to,” Wong told the Richmond News.

“I spoke to a lot of people who work here in the airport. They’re struggling on a daily basis just to make ends meet, so it’s been really difficult.”

In May, Wong and others from a vocal group of airport workers represented by the UNITE HERE Local 40 union, took a petition to the CEO of YVR, Craig Richmond, asking the airport to again consider a $15 per hour minimum wage. “(Richmond) wrote us a response and he doesn’t seem to agree. He’s saying it’s the mandate of the provincial government to set the minimum wage level,” Wong said.

“I don’t think they’re willing to take any responsibility.”

A representative from YVR confirmed with the News that the airport responded to the petition in a letter from Richmond, outlining YVR’s support for the provincial government’s plan to increase the minimum wage.

The letter also indicated that YVR is committed to having a wage policy in place

“They have the power. I don’t think they should wait for the government,” she said, pointing out that other airports such as Seattle-Tacoma International Airport have introduced a $15 mandatory minimum wage already.

“Anybody who works in the airport itself should be making $15.”

In addition to a mandatory minimum wage, Wong says she hopes workers see stronger job security. Currently, businesses have five to eight year-long leases, and if a new business takes over the space after a lease is up, workers often need to re-apply for their jobs and may lose their benefits.

“I am in the union and if a non-union company comes in I will lose all my benefits,” Wong explained, adding that there have been several times where a business’ lease has not been renewed, forcing her to reapply for her position.

“I’m just lucky I’m in the union, I can get to move to a different store. People who are not in the union in the airport, they don’t get that choice. They just go home.”

Moving ahead in their campaign, Wong says the union is speaking to community members and gathering support from other unions to fight for a mandatory minimum wage.

“We were the only one doing the campaign,” she said.

“Now we want other unions and the community to work with us…I think it would move a lot faster and be more powerful.”

On Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 5:30 p.m., Melanie Blendell was expected to be at a Richmond blood clinic, urging on people to do something she’s done 104 times.

Blendell was set to attend the donor clinic at Thompson Community Centre at 5151 Granville Ave. to cheer on the likes of Richmond councillor Carol Day. Blendell has made a habit of donating blood since the early ‘90s, when she first gave blood as an 18-year-old student at Steveston High School.

Now age 44, she works as a park operator for Metro Vancouver and knows donating blood is one of the most direct ways you can help someone and that one in two Canadians will either need blood or know someone who will at some point in their lives.

Her sister received blood after being hit by a car when they were both teenagers and Blendell’s mother and a colleague have also needed blood to treat medical conditions.

The next blood clinic in Richmond runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on Sept. 29 at Homma Tomekichi elementary at 5100 Brunswick Dr. Asked why she keeps donating, Blendell said it “just become a habit” over the years.

“Somebody has to do it and I know a lot of

“I also have a type of blood, O-positive, which many people can receive, so that is another reason to keep going. It’s just a normal thing for me.”

Blendell said she used to donate more often, every two months, but the rules got changed for women recently (due to iron deficiencies), so she now only goes once every three months.

“At first, I thought ‘I’ve got to get to that number, then that number.’ Before I knew it, I was at 100,” she added.

“I’m very healthy, I guess, and that makes it easier for me to keep going. I think I’ll try to get to 150 (donations).”

Lights superfan meets idol Melanie Eng got up close and personal when performer came to home town ple to “go for it” when it comes to their dreams.

Megan Devlin

“[Eng has] been such a great supporter,” she said.

RICHMOND NEWS

“And I’ve watched her evolve into her own artist as well. She’ll post photos of her little studio that she’s set up. It’s reminiscent of what I went through.”

A Richmond woman who’s a massive fan of Canadian singer Lights got to meet her idol once again before she took the stage at the Richmond World Festival Friday.

Eng has three albums out, and describes her style as “electro-pop, similar to Lights’ earlier stuff.”

Melanie Eng was one of several lucky fans who won a meet and greet with the alt-pop icon.

After the World Fest show, Eng drove up to Whistler to catch Lights perform again Saturday.

“I brought my sister and my niece,” she said. “My family knows that I’ve liked her for, like, a decade.”

Eng has already met Lights about a dozen times, she told the Richmond News, but this meeting in her hometown was special. Eng works as a sound editor by day, but is also an up-and-coming singersongwriter herself.

“She said I was doing really well with my music and I should keep doing it,”

And while Eng was dancing in the front row, Lights approached her for a midconcert selfie.

Richmond’s Melanie Eng got close to her idol in Whistler (above) on Saturday and backstage (right) at Minoru Park on Friday night.

Eng said. “Every time I see her, it makes me want to keep doing music.”

“I’m always speechless and starstruck,” Eng said.

In an interview with the News Friday, Lights said she always encourages peo-

“I’ve met a lot of celebrities and artists in the past. It’s different with Lights. I feel she cares.”

‘Find confidence, even if it’s fake’: Lights sensation has built up a passionate fanbase over the course of her four-album career.

Megan Devlin

Earlier songs such as 2008’s “Drive My Soul” were ubiquitous on Toronto-area radio stations, where she lived at the time. Now, Lights weaves narratives through fantastical worlds in her latest singles such as “Giants.”

RICHMOND NEWS

Canadian singer-songwriter Lights offered up some words of wisdom before taking the stage at Richmond’s annual World Festival Friday night.

She describes her growth as an artist and a person as a transformation from something like “insecure nerd girl” to gritty musician and “sexually empowered nerd woman.”

“Find confidence, even if it’s fake,” said the two time Juno winner.

“If you fake confidence it becomes real -eventually.”

The Richmond News caught up with Lights while she was taking it easy in her Richmond hotel room with four-year-old daughter, Rocket, before the show.

Friday was her first time performing in the city, but Lights has been a regular at the Richmond Night market.

“We used to come here all the time … Me

Get

Lights played to a packed-out crowd at the Richmond World Festival on Friday night. Jon Benjamin Photography/ City of Richmond and my friends would get together and go get food, buy junk,” she laughed.

Lights has been writing songs since she was a kid, and has always had a riveting voice. Born in Timmins, Ont., the alt-pop

Along with singing and song writing, Lights has written and illustrated a comic book series featuring main character Enaia—an alter-ego of sorts. It coincided with the release of her fourth album Skin & Earth, in September 2017.

She thinks what’s allowed her to become “creatively fulfilled” was gaining confidence and accepting herself.

Lights moved to Toronto at 18 to pursue

her music career, but before that, she was a high school student here in the Lower Mainland. By her own admission, school was on the backburner because she was already focusing on music. But she says here is where she first got comfortable with live performance.

“I became embedded in the ‘scene’ in Langley,” she laughed. “There was a good emo scene in Langley.”

After nearly a decade in Canada’s most populous city, she came back to settle in Mission, B.C. where she had her daughter.

“There’s wildlife, tons of fresh air, hikes and nature like you couldn’t imagine,” she said. “When you’re in the city every night doing a show, you want to retreat to some peace and quiet.”

“It keeps my heart and brain and mind full.”

It seems she’s a true B.C. girl at heart.

Businesses that Lights Up Musical Theatre Schools

Arts education is about so much more than unleashing your kids’ creativity.

Alongside the fun, the friends and the newfound skills - there are also a whole host of developmental benefits your child can enjoy by signing up for a program of classes.

To find out more, we asked Lisa Oppenheim from Lights Up Musical Theatre to give us the lowdown on five of the most common benefits children in the Lower Mainland can enjoy by enrolling in arts education classes.

1) Creative thinking. Arts education classes like those offered by Lights Up Musical Theatre teach children how to adapt to new situations and think outside the box.

Drama, for example, is great for unleashing kids’ imagination, encouraging them to think on their feet and develop the cognitive skills that will help them in later life.

2) Academic performance. There has been plenty of research that’s proven that children who are actively involved in the arts enjoy an improved academic performance.

Arts education in fields such as music and drama give children a new outlet to exercise their brains in a fun, fulfilling environment.

3) Focus. Whether a child is memorizing lines for a play, the words for a song or the choreography of a dance routine - they are engaging their brains and developing the kind of focus that they will need to succeed in both education and employment later in life.

4) Grit. In rehearsing for a performance, students are required to work towards a goal over an extended period of time, and meet challenges along the way.

This is the element that will allow students to transform their innate talents into meaningful achievement throughout their lives.

5) Social skills. Creating any kind of performance is a group effort. Students must learn to collaborate with their ensemble members and share the spotlight with their cast-mates. This not only helps develop teamwork skills but also social confidence.

With enthusiastic expert instructors and locations across the Lower Mainland, including right here in Richmond, Lights Up runs a range of weekly classes for children and teens aged between three and 18 years old.

If you’re interested in enrolling your kids, visit www.lightsuptheatre.ca or call 888-502-5253.

My Little Pony show rides into town Melissa Shaw VANCOUVER IS AWESOME

A three-day convention celebrating My Little Pony is coming to Richmond in January.

The first-ever Vanhoover Pony Expo will take place Jan. 11 to 13, 2019 at the Executive Hotel Vancouver Airport. It’s the same location that hosted BronyCAN until it ceased operations in 2017.

The “family-friendly” convention “carries forward the legacy of the brony community in Canada,” according to the Vanhoover Pony Expo website.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic animated TV series based on the Hasbro toy line was released in 2010 with a target audience of young girls. But the show has gained a large following of older viewers, particularly male, who refer to themselves as “bronies.”

As of March, 2018 the show is in its eighth season and a movie was released in 2017.

“We hope that My Little Pony fans of all ages will join us in January for three days of friendship, fun, games, panels, and community,” says convention chair Rob “Aphinity” Harrison in a press release.

“I would also like to acknowledge the

My Little Pony convention will be in Richmond next year. amazing support of the BC Anthropomorphic Events Association (BCAEA) in making Vanhoover Pony Expo happen,” Harrison says.

BCAEA is the parent organization of VancouFur, which organizes a local furry convention. Vanhoover Pony Expo has yet to announce its full programming agenda, vendor list and admission prices but the convention has unveiled its two pony mascots — Trail Blazer and Sunny Showers.

Army cadet finds his target

The Fullbore Courses are elite marksmanship courses, where cadets fire rifles at targets from varying distances, under conditions similar to the Olympic Games.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

A Richmond army cadet has been selected to represent Canada next summer as part of the National Rifle Team.

Warrant officer Daniel Cai, of the Richmond-based 2947 39 Service Battalion Army Cadets, recently completed the grueling Fullbore Phase 2 Course at Connaught Cadet Training Centre on the outskirts of Ottawa.

Daniel, 15, who attends Richmond Secondary, was named Open Class Champion of the “Clem Tremblay” 500-yard match.

In recognition of his outstanding performance and commitment, Daniel will compete for Canada next summer as part of the National Rifle Team and, in 2019, will return to Ottawa for prepare for travel to Bisley, England, where he will compete on the world stage.

When asked about his mindset during the recent competition, Daniel said, “always remember that every shot is a new day, so make it a good one.”

Along with his twin brother David, Daniel trained and competed with 50 of the country’s best shots over the course of seven weeks.

Canadian cadets were also joined by a contingent of the UK’s Army Cadet Force who were selected to train and compete on Canadian soil.

The Fullbore Phase 2 cadets were selected out of the country’s 100 top marksman from the previous year’s Phase 1 course, so were no strangers to the competitive environment.

The 2947 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps is a non-profit youth organization supported by the federal government and the Army Cadet League of Canada.

The program is free to all youth ages 1218, there are no registration or administration fees.

Rabbit sanctuary will depend on donations done clearing out the overgrown outdoor enclosures, the sanctuary will be able to house 400 rabbits comfortably.

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

A non-profit dedicated to helping rabbits is building a new sanctuary in Richmond.

Rabbitats already has one sanctuary in South Surrey, and up until this month housed dozens more rabbits in a trailer at the Richmond Auto Mall.

But now, they’ve rented out a property on No. 6 Road between Blundell Road and Steveston Highway. The property used to be a blueberry farm, and the adoptable rabbits will live inside the farmhouse where people can come see them.

“There are not a lot of landlords in the world that will let us move in with a couple hundred rabbits,” laughed Sorelle Saidman, founder of Rabbitats.

The previous occupants had several dogs, Saidman said, and built backyard enclosures for them. She’s converting those into housing for the non-adobtable rabbits.

“The ones that think humans stink will stay outside,” she said.

She thinks once Rabbitats volunteers are

“At this point it’s all (funded by) private donation,” Saidman said. “Rabbits don’t have the same level of popularity that dogs and cats have. So we don’t get a lot of donations.”

They’ve rented the property for two months, and will continue after that if they recieve enough financial and volunteer support.

Many of the rabbits taken in by Rabbitats were “dumped” in local parks by owners who can’t care for them, Saidman said.

Non spayed and neutered rabbits breed rapidly, and it’s led to some neighbourhoods in Richmond being overrun by the critters.

The Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS), the city-contracted animal shelter, is not taking rabbits right now. Earlier this year, they had to cull the rabbits in their care after the contagious rabbit hemorrhaging disease struck their shelter. A vaccine to innoculate rabbits against the virus has since become available in the region.

After the outbreak, RAPS is rebuilding its rabbit facilities.

Q: Is Chiropractic just for the Spine?

A:

No, all your joints require movement to stay healthy and functional, not just the ones in your spine.

Selling Real Estate?

Proper movement of joints is directly dependent upon their alignment.

As an alignment specialist, your chiropractor is concerned with the proper function of every joint in your body. Anytime you feel pain, experience a restricted range of motion, or hear noises coming from your joints, you should talk to your chiropractor-an adjustment may be just what you need to restore joint health.

A: Dr. Carol Reddin

What joints outside the spine do chiropractors treat? They can check any joint, but the big ones are the shoulder, hip, knee, ankle and wrist.

604-207-9050 #230-7480 Westminster Hwy. Richmond, B.C.

Chiropractors are well equipped to examine and check for proper function and can recommend the best course of action. Sometimes a series of adjustments applied to the extremities can make the difference between pain and dysfunction or immediate relief. Remember, once any joint is returned to its proper function, whether by realigning it or improving mobility, it’s still up to you to do the exercises and stretches that will help keep them that way!

There are no provincial regulations that prohibit the scattering of cremated remains by land, sea, or by air, however some municipal by-laws may prohibit.This decision should be carefully considered.

A gentle reminder before you move, please remember to add a new tag to your pets collars. Do it before you move, so that the old and the new tags are both there until you are moved in and settled. Your pets will be nervous during the packing stages and the moving process, and sometimes they get out the door. Please also make sure that your vet has been advised of your new address and phone numbers.

Do that before you move, okay? You might also consider kitty/doggy daycare for the day before and the day of your move. That will relieve some stress from everyone…

I hope these tips help your move go smoothly. Remember, I am your Pet-Friendly REALTOR®, and I LOVE my job — oh, and my Schnauzers… and Squid too!

You were putting some of it in a machine before you told her what Karat it was. What does that machine do?

A:

That is our Niton DXL Precious Metal Analyzer, one of the few in BC. It tells us whether something is gold, silver or platinum and the purity of the item. We have had this machine for 4 years now and just had it come back from servicing. It is much more Jim Richardson accurate than testing with acids.

A:

As a pet-friendly REALTOR® and a pet owner (dogs and cat), I am sensitive to the many things that pet-owners need to consider when buying and selling their home. The selling process can be stressful for pets as well as owners, so I do my best to minimize that stress for all members of the family. I know pets, and I know Real Estate, and I truly understand the special needs that arise.

I watched you buy gold jewelry

Are there any laws about scattering cremated remains?

some to my dog with hip issues?

Very bluntly, “No!” It is a terrible idea to give your pets human food and supplements. They are, literally, a different animal than us, with very different anatomy and physiology. Products labeled for human consumption have only been tested for human consumption, and, thus, are not intended for any other species of animal. At our sister store, Cloverdale Pharmasave, we have been supplying complete lines of pet-specific supplements and medications for 35 years, and we are now stocking a selection of unique veterinary supplements right here in Richmond at Pharmasave Steveston Village.

If your pet (ie. Dog, cat, horse, etc.) is suffering from joint pain, it is advisable for you to consult a veterinarian first. If the issue can be remedied by supplementation, then consider Purica’s “Recovery™” for repairing an arthritic joint. Very few products can regenerate cartilage, tendons and ligaments like Recovery™ can. Key ingredients include glucosamine, MSM, and a special blend of green tea and wildberry extract called “Nutricol™”. The Extra Strength version adds hyaluronic acid, which could act as a sponge to draw fluid into joint capsules, increasing the shock-absorbing properties. Recovery™ is available as a powder or a tasty chew treat.

Since products like Recovery™ take time to work, you may need to give your pet a short course of an anti-inflammatory product for pain-control, such as Omega Alpha’s “EZ-Mobility™”. Its collection of natural herbs can take effect after one to two doses.

For joint maintenance, a quality omega fatty-acid supplement, such as “Bio-FATS™” by BiologicVET can complement Recovery™ beautifully. It will not only help lubricate your pet’s joints, but also help maintain a healthy coat, proper mental function, healthy heart, and supple lining for the gut and lungs.

All the mentioned supplements have been around for years, and we have seen very convincing results. Come talk to one of our integrative pharmacists at Pharmasave Steveston Village to see if they are appropriate for your pets.

Doing things proactively is always a good idea. It’s a lot wiser to look after your heating equipment now, than to wait until it goes down in the dead of winter, when Heating Technicians are busier and you might be wrapped in blankets waiting for the fix.

Your furnace, should be cleaned and inspected annually.

Letting a professional clean out the inside of your furnace and inspect the Gas and the Electrical and all the components, increases the life and efficiency of your furnace. It also provides peace of mind for the safety of a Gas fueled appliance. The BC Safety Authority recommends regular maintenance on Gas Appliances to reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

This is a bit techie, but for those of you with the urge to learn this is a great tip – especially as it’s free. If you had the chance to check files and your computer with 50+ anti-virus products all at once then this is how you do it. You can test individual files for malware for free at http://www.virustotal.com. Upload something you suspect may be malware and have it checked by 50+ different anti-virus products. You can also check suspect web site URL’s. But if you want to check the running applications on your PC to see what may be bad. Search and download “Sysinternals Process Explorer” on Microsoft’s web site, extract the zip file, then right mouse click to run the 32 or 64 labelled executable as administrator. The software will display all the processes running on your computer. Select the Options menu, then VirusTotal.com and then Check VirusTotal.com – and voila, it will check and rate every process on your machine.

White mint candies that have a sandy feeling coating are highly abrasive and destructive to artificial teeth. Your particular physiology can affect your fitting surfaces.

For example, osteoporosis can affect the fitting surfaces by creating a faster rate of change to your underlying bone structures. Numerous other factors may also play into these scenarios.

Jean Nykyforuk may be 86, but she has no intention of letting Parkinson’s disease slow her down.

Every day, Nykyforuk jumps on her walker and goes for a stroll in Steveston Village.

She’s been coping with the debilitating and progressively worsening symptoms of Parkinson’s for more than 15 years.

But this Saturday around 1:30 p.m., Nyky-

“I was able to walk quite a distance before (Parkinson’s) started,” said Nykyforuk, who taught childhood development at post-secondary level before retiring.

Cutting her off, however, was her daughter, Ann Nykyforuk, the coordinator for Richmond’s Parkinson SuperWalk.

“We will also have entertainment from the Lulu Island Strummers and refreshments from Save-On Foods, as well as door prizes.

“I’d say stubborn determination to keep going and not let the disease get the better of you, mom,” Ann chipped in.

“It’s a great way for people with Parkinson’s, and for those whose loved ones are affected, to come out and meet people.”

Ann said she’s hoping to get somewhere between 75 and 100 people out on Saturday, weather being a factor.

There will be a welcome address at 1 p.m. on Saturday, followed by a warm-up at 1:30 p.m. before the walkers get started.

Yan explores human-nature relations Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

A Toronto artist will visit Richmond Art Gallery this fall with two new pieces of artwork that explore the relations between humans, nature and culture.

Xiaojing Yan’s first work on display is called Mountain of Pines, which is an installation of hanging walls of silk organza pierced with thousands of pine needles, creating a panorama of distant mountains rising in the mist.

Yan said the work is inspired by Shan Shui painting, a traditional Chinese ink painting genre that depicts scenery or natural landscapes, and that draws on Daoist philosophies.

Xiaojing Yan’s works “Mountain of Pines” (left) and “Lingzhi Girl” will be shown at the Richmond Art Gallery. Photos submitted

“I use pine needles, a material from nature that people don’t normally notice, to give viewers a new life and meaning,” Yan told the Richmond News.

Within this landscape are eight life-sized busts of the artist as a young girl, each sprouting curious lingzhi mushrooms.

Yan calls the work Lingzhi Girls.

risks to pick lingzhi mushrooms in the mountains, sometimes to save the lives of their loved ones, so lingzhi reminds me of questions about life and death,” said Yan.

To make this work, Yan creatively put sawdust and lingzhi mushroom seeds into moulds of a girl’s bust and took them out after they were shaped, letting the mushrooms continue to grow out from the “head.”

She hopes by combining both of the works, she can create a wonderland in the mountains for the audience, with materials that we can see in our normal lives.

“The sawdust provides all the nutrients lingzhi mushrooms need and they continue to grow. After I took them out of the moulds, I wasn’t able to control how they grow,” said Yan. “In modern society, people always tend to control nature, but we are not supposed to do that. From this piece, I hope

to explore the relations between humans and nature.”

Originally from China, Yan said she chose lingzhi mushrooms as a material because they have a special meaning in Chinese culture.

“They have a meaning associated with good wishes and a long life,” said Yan. “In some ancient myths, people would travel far and take

“As an artist if I can let the audience stop for a second to have a thought, in this case, about nature, humans and nature, then I will feel very happy.”

Yan’s exhibition will be on display at the Richmond Art Gallery from Sept. 13 to Nov. 10. She will attend the “Artist Talk and Tour” on Sept. 13 from 6 to 7 p.m.

‘To My Unborn Child’ opens at art gallery in Taiwan now. She grew up in Taiwan and immigrated to the U.S. in 2015.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

What would you want to say to your unborn child who has yet to experience this world?

Artist Wen-Li Chen wants to talk about the culture of indigenous Taiwanese peoples and where their future lies, and about the topic of personal identity.

A new exhibition, To My Unborn Child, by Taiwanese artist Chen, will be on display at Richmond Art Gallery, in partnership with Centre A: Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. The installation, which includes various modes of images and a book written by Chen, explores Chen’s feelings regarding her ethnic heritage as she lies on the cusp of giving birth to her first child.

“I’m feeling a sense of crisis,” said Chen, who is half indigenous and half Han ethnicity – the majority ethnic group

“The most common languages I use now are Chinese and English, which is also common for many people, but the language and culture of indigenous Taiwan is fading away,” said Chen.

The exhibition includes historical artifacts juxtaposed with fictional elements that blur together memories, colloquialisms, family biographies, and local histories from Chen’s life before she immigrated to the U.S.

“The exhibition uses an abstract way to express how other people see indigenous peoples, how indigenous peoples see themselves, and in what ways I want my child to know about this fading tradition,” said Chen.

“One thing I can do for my child is to keep a record of the information and make them available to my child, telling my child that this type of culture and history existed, and teaching him or her the value of difference in culture, ethnicity, history, etc.”

Chen said people visiting her exhibition will have different takes on it depending on their personal experience.

Central to the exhibition is a “Zu Pu” or family tree, which is an attempt to provide information about a people and culture.

“I think they will more or less catch some of the sense of crisis I am feeling,” said Chen.

“I grew up with my grandparents who are indigenous and I liked the environment they created for me growing up.

Then I started to think what kind of environment I wanted to create for my child,” said Chen.

“As immigrants, we have a responsibility to play a role for our ethnic group, to guide outsiders to get to know the culture and history that is part of us, and to demolish gaps and misunderstandings.”

Chen said her unborn child is an imaginary audience member at the exhibition, which draws upon projected images and a book she wrote that is semi-autobiographical.

1,100 units added to Brighouse Village

A major ‘bus mall’ will be built at the corner of No. 3 and Cook roads Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

The historic shops and restaurants on No. 3 Road, across the street from Richmond Centre, will soon be all gone and replaced by nine new towers.

The three newly proposed developments at the No. 3 and Cook roads intersection will include 1,132 residential units, which are part of a “Brighouse Village” the city has planned near the Brighouse Canada Line station.

On a 3.2-acre land parcel at 6340 No. 3 Road, which was home to dozens of businesses, including Bob’s Subs, three 15-storey residential towers and a 12-storey office tower will plow skyward.

These buildings will include 546 residential units, ground level retail space, 856 parking stalls and an “Early Childhood Development Hub” – a 19,000-sq.-ft. facility that will provide space for up to four child care programs, according to a city report.

The rooftop of a site-wide podium will serve as an outdoor amenity space for the complex’s residents, boasting a 9,000-sq.-ft. outdoor playground for the childcare facility.

GBL Architects has released its design of the four buildings. One building has an inclined form wrapped within a white-coloured steel exoskeleton, which the company says will stand as a new “landmark” in Richmond.

A 3,961-sq.-ft. public plaza, Park Road Plaza, has been planned on the south side of the property.

For a 52,000-sq.-ft. site between the two major developments (6560-6700 No. 3 Road), the City of Richmond has also received a rezoning application and a proposal to construct two residential towers, with 12 and 15 storeys each.

This development includes 166 residential units and 224 parking stalls, as well as retail, restaurant space and outdoor residential amenity space on the podium rooftop.

All three developments will ensure five per cent of the residential dwellings are low-income rental units, which tallies to 57 units in total.

With a veritable swarm of potential residents moving into the area, Ted Townsend, spokesperson for the City of Richmond, said the city is working to increase bus services and create a “nice environment for cyclists” in the area to ease transportation pressure.

As a condition of the rezoning, developers will have to fork out to widen roads and to develop off-street bike lanes in the redeveloped area.

“Other measures include providing dedicated parking spaces in the area for car sharing vehicles and the imminent start-up of the new U-Ride bike sharing program, which will be primarily based within the City Centre in its initial phase,” said Townsend.

As part of the redevelopments, a major new “bus mall” adjacent to the Brighouse Station will be built at the corner of No. 3 and Cook roads. “[It’s] an area where numerous buses can park at the same time in order to allow easy transfer between buses serving different routes,” said Townsend.

“When completed, this will enhance and consolidate connections between the Canada Line with many of the routes that feed in and out of the City Centre,” he added.

As for parks, Townsend said the city plans to upgrade more neighbourhood parks to “improve the level of service it provides for the growing neighbourhood population.

“Lang Park, which is the heart of that area, just underwent a major upgrade to improve the level of service…

Improvements are also planned for Cook Neighbourhood Park,” said Townsend.

“We are also doing a new master plan for Minoru Park... in the long term, new parks will be created within the City Centre.”

RASA kicks off new season Sunday

quirement a team’s roster must include a minimum number of players from Richmond. That rule has since been removed and it has led to more Vancouver teams coming onboard.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

It’s easy to see why the playerfriendly Richmond Adult Soccer Association continues to thrive over 50 years since its inception.

“If you are playing in the (Vancouver Metro Soccer League) then you are going to have to go through (city parks) and get a field to play your home games.

That’s easier said than done these days,” said first-year RASA president Sean Handlin. “We are finding more Vancouver teams are coming here to play for not only that reason but also the consistency of our schedule and there is no travelling involved.

The senior men’s soccer organization kicks off its winter season with an Opening Day schedule at South Arm Park on Sunday, featuring First and Second Division games.

The circuit, once known as the Richmond Senior Soccer League, has expanded again with four more teams — one each in the First and Masters Divisions and two in the Second.

“Players know where and when they are playing every week and that’s a big advantage.”

The Ex-Patriots Football Club (EPFC) has taken its program into the RASA Winter season and will have the Lions and Panthers competing in the First and Second Divisions respectively.

Handlin is expecting another highly competitive campaign after a 2017-18 season that saw just seven points separate the top four teams in the First Division.

FC Beaconsfield is another new Second Division Entry while Rain City FC has added the Gunners to the Masters Division.

The latest additions pushes the overall total to 34 clubs and brings the executive’s goal of 40 closer to realization.

That would create 10-team First and Masters Divisions and an additional tier for the Second Divi-

sion which right now stands at a whopping 16 teams.

So what keeps the RASA trending upwards in a city that has changed dramatically in the last 25 years?

For starters, soccer’s multi-cultural appeal certainly doesn’t hurt but it’s the structure and consistency that are perhaps the biggest lure of all.

Richmond F.C. U18 Wolves got their season off to an outstanding start over the Labour Day Weekend, capturing the SX International Cup Tournament on home turf.

It’s the first time a Richmond F.C. a boys soccer team has won a division title in the five-year history of the event. The tournament featured 18 boys and girls flights with games played in Richmond, South Surrey, Newton, Guildford and Cloverdale.

The unbeaten run concluded with a 1-1 draw against Guildford Dynamo. Evan Sandhu had the Richmond goal on a penalty.

It was a terrific tournament for goalkeeper Kody Glasspool with three consecutive shutouts. The only time he was beaten was on a penalty in the final game.

The Wolves took full advantage of their division being played out in the friendly and familiar confines of Hugh Boyd and Minoru Parks.

It was an all-city battle out of the gate with the Wolves getting past the Richmond F.C. Gunners 3-0 on goals by Nicholas Lylyk, Delgado Carvalheiro-Nunes and Emerson Cooke.

Lin will enjoy home ice advantage at Grand Prix that skating has become popular there.”

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Annie Lin will be competing in her own training rink at next week’s ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Canada 2018 event and it took travelling nearly 10,000 kilometres to get there.

The Grade 10 Richmond Secondary student and Connaught Skating Club member earned her way to the international stage by finishing fourth at this summer’s Chinese Taipei Junior National Championships. That got her an international assignment which just happens to be the ISU Grand Prix at Minoru Arenas where Lin has spent the last four years working with Connaught.

It was at the Taipei Arena Ice Land — the capital’s lone rink in a city of nearly three million — where she stepped on the ice for the first time.

“I started skating because my mom and dad took me to the rink when I was little,” said Lin. “It’s really only been the last few years

When Lin turned 10, her parents decided to spend their summers in Vancouver to provide better training opportunities. That’s when she teamed up with Connaught and competitive head coach Keegan Murphy.

“It’s taken a huge team effort to make this level of skating come true for Annie. She didn’t have the blessing of being in a city with lots of ice rinks and coaches,” said Murphy.

“She really had to dig her way up. I just feel really proud and fortunate I was able to catch her and help her.

“Really it’s her mom and dad who took the leaps and bounds to find their way to Vancouver to work with me.”

The ISU stop at Minoru Arenas will be Lin’s second at the international level. Two years ago she competed in Russia. She needed to be in the top four at the 2018 nationals to earn another opportunity and she did it by the margin of 0.3 points in the final standings after her long program. The fact the competition happens to be in Richmond is noth-

ing more than fate.

The last time Skate Canada hosted an ISU Junior Grand Prix event was 13 years ago in Montreal.

“It’s very exciting and I am looking forward to it,”smiled Lin. “It’s going to help me being so familiar with everything and not having to travel as well. I think I will be slightly nervous too just competing in front of so many people I know.”

Murphy says his student will be much more prepared compared to her debut in Russia after putting in plenty of hard work at the Richmond Ice Centre over the summer.

“She was inexperienced in a lot of ways in Russia and now she gets to return to the international level,” added Murphy.

“Last year was a challenging year for her living back in Taiwan and she was going to school so skating wasn’t the priority so much. Now it is again she has really earned her spot for this event.

“This moment is a nice big credit to Annie and her family and decisions they have made the last four years.”

Bryan Abrey’s annual summer commute across North America as an elite fastpitch player has produced his biggest haul yet.

The Gremlins don’t mess around when it comes to the top level of men’s fastpitch.

Their roster is loaded with international talent with seven players from New Zealand, Argentina or Australia. They are provided room and board while the club covers Abrey’s travel costs.

The 30-year-old from Richmond not only helped the New York Gremlins win their first-ever International Softball Congress (ISC) World Championship in Kitchener, ON last month, he was named the tournament’s most valuable player.

Abrey batted .500 (7-for-14) as New York rolled to six consecutive victories, including an 8-1 romp of rival Circle Tap Dukes from Wisconsin in the championship game. His second inning solo home run opened the scoring. He also finished the tournament with four runs and three RBI. Additional hardware included being named to the First Team All-World All-Star Team as an outfielder.

“Fastpitch is a funny game. Sometimes the ball looks like a pea pod at the plate and other times it’s as big as a beach ball,” said Abrey. “I just happened to being seeing it really

They headed to Kitchener as three-time American Softball Association (ASA) national champions and were at least five runs better than all of their opponents. The breakthrough win comes after losing an 11-inning heartbreaker to Three Nations’ Hill United Chiefs in the 2013 final and placing third the past two years.

A fixture with Canada’s national men’s team, Abrey has been playing several years for the Gremlins, usually making his way back east eight or nine times each season for tournaments. Every other year there are national team commitments

“I’m still enjoying the game and getting to see parts of the world I normally wouldn’t be going to,” added Abrey, who came through Richmond Boys Fastpitch under longtime coach Marshall Shields.

Richmond soccer standout off to terrific start at Louisiana school Richmond soccer standout Jalen Donaldson has wasted little time in making an impression at Northwestern State University.

The McMath graduate and freshman forward is third in team scoring for the Lady

Demons with five points, thanks to notching a pair of assists in Sunday’s 5-2 win over University of Louisana Monroe. Earlier, she scored her first-ever collegiate goal in a 4-2 victory against Mississippi Valley State and

has started in four of the five games to date.

“It was good to get my first goal and gain some confidence. I really like the level of play and the style we play here,” said Donaldson.

“My first game too was pretty cool with all

the fans coming out. It was my first big game so that was pretty cool.”

Donaldson visited the Natchitoches, Louisiana school back in October and officially signed her scholarship deal in February.

TRUTH IN EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the: Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711 Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email: inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
