Shoplifting costs Dear Editor,

It seems to be a joke or game to them.

“My child wouldn’t shoplift” — parents, are you certain? We are the owners of two small businesses in Steveston, The Sweet Shoppe and Steveston’s Best of British. We are also parents, and we would like to appeal to local parents about an alarming trend we’re seeing. Local school-aged children are shoplifting from us on a regular basis, and we are catching them red-handed. They are very well-organized; some will attempt to distract the shopkeeper while others stuff their backpacks. Some are more subtle and will try to hide product in pockets, etc. Given the sophistication, we can only conclude they are researching and learning these techniques…perhaps through social media? What’s even more alarming is the reaction when they are caught — no remorse, no guilt.

As parents, we know most will think “my child wouldn’t do this!” and for the vast majority of you, you’re right. That said, we are appealing to all parents to have discussions with their children about the consequences of shoplifting. Shoplifting isn’t a joke, it isn’t harmless; it impacts our businesses and our livelihoods. It costs us dearly, and we hope we won’t have to close up shop as a result of this. Shoplifting is theft. We have not yet called the RCMP on those we’ve caught as we were hoping to resolve this in a different way. However, we may be left with no choice, and I know no parent wants to be on the receiving end of that call from the RCMP. Please speak to your kids about shoplifting. On behalf of small businesses everywhere, we thank you.

Enforcement needed for speeders Dear Editor, Re: “Update: Police appeal for dashcam video after two lives lost on Richmond’s roads inside 24 hours,“ Online, Nov. 2 This is very sad, but unfortunately the Richmond RCMP have failed horribly on trafﬁc enforcement in the city. All you have to do is drive down Steveston Highway with a speed limit of 50 km/h and see most people doing 70 or 80 including TransLink buses and the Richmond RCMP. If there is no enforcement of laws, then the carnage will continue.

Fireworks make cat inconsolable Dear Editor, I thought ﬁreworks were now banned in Richmond? I realize that some can be used under permit, but there were far too many being set off on Sunday night to account for that. They are an absolute menace — total disruption to the peace of the neighbourhood and a terrifying experience for our pets. Our cat was inconsolable and I dread to think how it affected dogs who are generally even more sensitive. I was aware of many being used right on our street, but what’s the point in contacting the police? They have many more important issues to deal with, especially on Halloween night. Could the “powers-that-be” please step in and put an end to this hazard and intrusion that we have to put up with every year?

YVR works with airlines Tory leader wrong to reduce emissions Open letter to Erin O’Toole,

Dear Editor,

are helping us bring these emissions down.

Re: “YVR’s net zero emissions target greenwashing,” Letters, Oct. 14 and “No pat on back for airport plan,” Letters, Oct. 21 YVR’s plan to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030 is an ambitious one. We understand and appreciate there are questions around how we can achieve such a lofty goal. With that in mind, we would like to answer some of the questions and concerns raised by Richmond News readers, Michael Polanyi and Bruce Tittle. It’s important to ﬁrst understand our Roadmap to Net Zero Carbon by 2030 sets targets for our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. These are the emissions from our direct operations, the things we can control: the heating/cooling of our building, our vehicle ﬂeet and our lighting to name a few.

Both letter writers raised concerns about Scope 3 emissions, which we do not have control over, in large part produced by transportation. However, we are working to inﬂuence those emitters. Some of the key initiatives to reduce Scope 3 emissions include shutdown of Auxiliary Power Units (APU) while the aircraft is at the gate and plugging in to gate power, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) — we are part of a consortium called BioPortYVR, which is working on ensuring an ongoing supply of SAF at YVR — and electriﬁcation of ground support. For more information, go to YVR.ca/environment.

I was shocked to see you on the evening news last night declaring that you would ask the Speaker of the House to overrule the vaccination requirement to enter the House of Commons and further bafﬂed to hear you oppose hybrid sessions.

I feel this is an irresponsible position and it seems to me that you are pandering to a very loud vocal minority. In round ﬁgures, at the time of this writing, 83 per cent of Canadians 12 and older are fully vaccinated and survey results I’ve seen indicate between 75 and 85 per cent of Canadians support restrictions for the unvaccinated. Scientiﬁc data suggests vaccination can prevent bad outcomes from COVID-19 but, more importantly, vaccinated individuals are far less likely to transmit the virus, so I just don’t understand the logic of your position. Certainly, everyone has the right to choose what goes into their body but those choices do and should have consequences. Likewise, I, too, have rights, including

the right to be protected from irresponsible individuals who are too selﬁsh to protect me and other people.

Vaccines have rendered us virtually free from smallpox, polio and many other diseases and have long been a prerequisite for some travel and for sending your children to school. Why should COVID-19 vaccines be treated differently? I am not a fan of Mr. Trudeau’s ethics nor his Liberal party but I do believe he got it right with vaccination restrictions. In the recent federal election I, for the ﬁrst time in my 66 years, voted NDP. Your Steveston-Richmond East candidate, Kenny Chiu, lost my vote solely over this issue and I’m sure I’m not alone. I believe this attitude will result in a net loss of support for your party and if you’ll pardon the expression, I think you are politically “shooting yourself in the foot.”

Two lives lost on roads inside 24 hours Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Two people died on Richmond’s roads this week inside 24 hours. Richmond RCMP has now appealed for dashcam footage and witnesses after the crashes at Westminster Highway and No. 4 Road on Tuesday and Alderbridge Way and No. 3 Road on Monday. The most recent fatality happened at the former intersection around 9 a.m. Tuesday when a blue Kenworth truck carrying ﬁsh collided with a white BMW sedan. According to police, one person was pronounced dead at the scene and three others were taken to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.

The tragic loss of life follows a fatal collision shortly before 4 p.m. on Monday, when a grey SUV collided with a school bus on Alderbridge Way at No. 3 Road.

Two people died in separate accidents at Alderbridge Way and No. 3 Road (left) and (below) and at No. 4 road and Westminster Highway (bottom right and bottom left). Shane MacKichan photos (left, below and bottom right). Steve Fairbairn photo (bottom left)

The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene, while the school bus driver was apparently uninjured and remained on scene. Fortunately, there were no children on board the school bus at the time of the collision. Police are not releasing the names of the deceased at this time. “These very serious collisions serve as a reminder to all drivers,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Ian Henderson. “Vehicle collisions occur with more frequency this time of year, as fall and winter weather...affect drivers’ perceptions.

Police said the deceased was a passenger in the BMW, who was ejected from the vehicle. There were ﬁsh strewn across the intersection as a result of the collision.

“Good driving habits, like slowing down and paying attention to other drivers and pedestrians at intersections, can help prevent accidents like these from occurring.”

Drugs and alcohol, say police, don’t appear to be factors, however, speed and driver inattention have yet to be ruled out.

Anyone who witnessed either accident, or who has dash-cam video, is asked to call the RCMP at 604-278-1212.

He reported the incident to school ofﬁcials on Wednesday, who in turn contacted police.

It was during these patrols that, just before 4 p.m. that day, RCMP found and arrested the man from the video.

“We encourage anyone, ‘if you see something, say something.’ Call police as soon as possible so that we can attend and investigate.”

The witness also said he had seen the man in the school park on one previous occasion speaking with children. Richmond RCMP Youth Section

City posts coyote signs

Busy Halloween for police, ﬁre

Richmond News reader Allisa Ritchie heard coyotes calling out in her Steveston neighbourhood before dawn on Sunday.

It was a busy Halloween weekend for the police and ﬁre departments in Richmond.

And later that morning, Ritchie spotted this new sign, posted by the City of Richmond, at Homma elementary school ﬁeld, close to Britannia Heritage Shipyards. The sign aims to educate residents about the roaming creature, sightings of which are not unusual in Richmond, especially

close to the city’s dike trails. City spokesperson Clay Adams said they had received some calls about coyotes in the area, but the erection of the sign was purely coincidental. “While there have been no encounter incidents reported, there is heightened interest and concerns from people given recent events in Stanley Park,” added Adams. —Alan Campbell/News

However, despite dealing with more than 150 calls for various incidents, both emergency services say the two days were relatively low key and safe. On Halloween itself on Sunday, Richmond RCMP said it responded to 66 calls for service, of which 18 were related to ﬁreworks in various locations across the city.

A Richmond resident did post on a community Facebook page that her son was hit on the back by a ﬁrework on Sunday after people were setting off ﬁreworks in the Woodward parking lot. It wasn’t clear if the boy was injured.

“Police issued several verbal warnings for ﬁreworks, but no violation tickets.” The spokesperson added that the detachment “had anticipated this would likely be a busier night than usual. “An operations plan had been in place, and extra staff were on

Richmond Fire-Rescue also reported a lively weekend, with 76 call outs on Saturday and 10 on Sunday, all of which were minor in nature, according to Fire Chief Tim Wilkinson.

Lawyer Hong Guo banned for a year Finance advisor Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The hits just keep on coming for Richmond real estate and immigration lawyer Hong Guo. The Richmond News reported last week how Guo escaped being disbarred by the Law Society of BC for a catalogue of professional misconduct. Instead, the society’s disciplinary panel banned her from practising for a year and ordered her to pay its costs totalling $47,329. And a judge’s decision published Tuesday by the BC Supreme Court revealed her Guo Law Corporation has been ordered to pay costs of almost $100,000 after she lost a lawsuit in the summer, ﬁled by contractors hired to renovate her No. 3 Road ofﬁces. Earlier this year, she was ordered to pay $311,000, plus interest, to IRL Construction, as part of a disputed $740,000 renovation bill.

A sub-contractor, Lunniss Developments Ltd., was awarded more than $196,000 from IRL which, in turn, was ruled to have breached its contract. Madame Justice Laura Gerow ruled this week that IRL be awarded costs of $68,855.86 in its action against Guo Law and that Lunniss be awarded costs of $28,665.14 against Guo Law. “Given the history of Guo Law refusing or neglecting to respond to the requests to settle orders or to respond to correspondence from counsel for IRL and Lunniss, I am dispensing with the requirement for a representative of Guo Law to endorse the order,” added Gerow in her conclusion. Guo, who represented herself at the court hearing last month over legal costs, claimed that she had not received IRL’s “bill of costs” and that her ﬁrm didn’t have a contract with the subcontractor Lunniss, therefore “should not have to pay Lunniss’ bill of costs, or in the alternative, IRL should be responsible for half of Lunniss’ costs.” She stated her ﬁrm had already “suf-

fered a ﬁnancial loss” from the lawsuit. Aside from lawsuits and professional misconduct charges, Guo has never been far from the headlines. Back in 2018, she failed in a very public bid to become Richmond’s mayor in the last civic election. During that election run, she was in trouble with the Law Society, which had sought a disbarment this year. This was after Guo committed professional misconduct by failing to supervise her employees, failing to comply with trust accounting rules, and leaving a series of blank signed trust cheques with her bookkeeper, which facilitated the bookkeeper’s theft of $7.5 million of client trust funds. The panel also found earlier this year that Guo misappropriated trust funds from some clients, in order to replace funds missing from other clients’ trust accounts that were needed to complete pending real estate transactions. Guo used her own money to reimburse the clients affected.

ﬁned $50,000

A former Richmond investment advisor has been fined $50,000 and banned for four years for misconduct, according to the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). Following a disciplinary hearing in August in Vancouver, the IIROC panel found Alberto Storelli was liable of compensating clients, providing an unauthorized account statement to clients, making misrepresentations to IIROC enforcement staff and failing to cooperate during its investigation. The IIROC enforcement counsel argued the clients were vulnerable as some were senior citizens, and others had a familial or friendship connection with Storelli, according to the decision. At the time of the violations, Storelli was a registered employee at the Richmond branch of Global Maxfin Capital Inc, an IIROC-regulated firm. The sanctions follow allegations from September 2014 to December 2017 Storelli paid financial compensation to clients without the knowledge or approval of Global Maxfin — including payments to clients who made complaints — and, around June 2015, provided clients an unauthorized account statement about the value of a private company. —Kirsten Clarke/Richmond News

No. 3 Road project hit by lawsuits activity for more than six months.

According to the city, other developers have expressed interest in buying the land.

There are at least four legal claims amounting to over $9 million against the owner of a large No. 3 Road development that has ground to a halt. Currently, the Atmosphere project, planned as a residential/ofﬁce/retail development complex across from Lansdowne Shopping Centre, will be surrounded by a fence, ordered by the city, after the building permits expired on the project. The owner of the project is Alderbridge Way Limited Partnership and the project manager is South Street. GBL Architects Inc. is asking for a lien of about $452,000 on the property and contractor, Metro-Can Construction, is asking for a lien of more than $8 million.

In its claim, Metro-Can Construction Ltd., alleges they are owed about $8.67 million out of a total bill of more than $15 million.

GBL alleges it wasn’t paid for work and in August 2020 applied to the court for a lien on the property.

As a subcontractor of Metro-Can Construction, Rush Contractors Group has also applied for a lien on the property claiming $4.2 million of the $8.67 million MetroCan alleges it’s owed.

In its civil suit, GBL is asking that the property be sold if the payment isn’t made so they can claim their lien as well as interest and costs.

Yet another subcontractor, Keller is making a claim against the owner and MetroCan, but Alderbridge Way has responded to that claim saying it has no relationship

with Keller, rather their contractor was Metro-Can, which was contracted to excavate the site and do on-site and off-site civil work at Atmosphere. (Alderbridge hasn’t responded to the other lawsuits yet.) A lawyer representing Rush Contractors Group and Metro-Can, Chris Moore, said discussions are underway on reﬁnancing the project. The building permits for the mixed residential/commercial/ofﬁce complex expired in September after there was no construction

The development includes an ofﬁce tower and six residential towers with 824 units of housing, of which 112 will be market rentals and 38 affordable rental units. None of these allegations have been proven in court. A request from the Richmond News to South Street, the project manager, was not answered. Meanwhile, people who bought units during presale have been left in limbo. In August, one of those buyers contacted the News saying he was frustrated he had heard nothing from the developer. Fencing ordered by the city The City of Richmond has ordered the Atmosphere property owner put up an eightfoot-high perimeter fence around the nowstalled project. Currently, what appears to be a temporary fence is around the property. However, the city said a more permanent “engineered” one, anchored into the concrete sidewalk, will be constructed to prevent climbing.

Sewer fees expected to spike in coming years Utility fees are going up between $64 and $79 in 2022 for an average single-family home in Richmond. This will result in total average costs of $1,479 for metered homes and $1,826 for non-metered homes.

To keep water rates down but allow the city to expand its metering program, $700,000 will be used from the $15 million rate stabilization fund, meant to offset large fee increases.

Metered water fees will go up on average $18 for single-family homes, $12 for townhouses and almost $9 for apartments.

Website details cost of living in Richmond Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A recent report from Numbeo, a website that provides timely information on living conditions and the cost of living in various cities, breaks down how much it costs to live in Richmond, including transportation, utilities, restaurants and monthly rent. And it likely won’t come as a surprise that it doesn’t come cheap. Monthly rent According to Numbeo, the average monthly cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment inside the city centre is $1,846.88, but for people who prefer to live outside of city centre, the rental price is $1,457.14. Dining out The average cost for two people to dine out weekly in Richmond is $70 for a three-course meal without alcohol. However, for people looking to simply fill their stomachs rather than a fancy meal, the cost is only $15.50 per person. Transportation A monthly transit pass is $100 per month to get around in Richmond. Groceries For a single Richmondite who is okay with living on an essential grocery shopping list, their weekly spend could be around $106.10. And in this case, the “essential” here refers to one litre of milk, 500 grams of white bread, one kilogram of local cheese, chicken fillets, beef, 12 eggs, one kilogram of tomatoes, potatoes and apples, etc. Utilities The average cost of utilities is $187.75 per month, including internet, cable, electricity, heating and cooling. Fitness Numbeo says Richmondites need to pay $68.50 on average monthly to join a fitness club or work out in a gym. Just the above expenses comes to almost $3,000 a month for a single person and doesn’t include clothes, gifts, home furnishings, entertainment, child care, vacations, pet care, car and other expenses.

Filmmaker captures immigrant stories always resonate with audiences.”

Nono Shen

Before settling down in Richmond, Shen was a well-reputed director in China who started his career as a ﬁlmmaker in the early 1980s in China.

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Dollies, booms, cameras and spotlights were scattered around an empty Richmond factory on Clarke Place, in preparation for the shooting of a new Chinese TV series.

Since then, he has dedicated himself to integrating western ﬁlm concepts and acting techniques into Chinese movies.

Laughs and chatter ﬁlled the space, but once the director called “action,” there was silence — save the actors’ dialogue and the sound of our own breathing. Richmondite Sam Shen is the director behind the seven-episode series, Acting Classes, which he’s hoping to sell to a Chinese streaming service. “The drama will not only explore the difference between western and eastern acting styles, but also tell stories of local Chinese immigrants, such as their life’s lowest

Shen said the freedom and inclusive vibe of Richmond inspired him to keep moving forward in his directing career.

Film crews work on a seven-episode series about life as an immigrant, directed by Sam Shen. Nono Shen photo point after immigration and their victories in a foreign land,” said Shen. For example, one of the episodes tells the story of a Chinese couple getting married to obtain a Canadian permanent resident card, explained Shen. To make the immigration ofﬁcer believe

their “love story,” they decided to take acting classes. However, in true Harlequin romance fashion, they’ve genuinely fallen in love by the end of the classes. “The whole show is ﬁctional but is also based on ﬁrst-hand experiences from locals,” noted Shen. “Flesh and blood experiences

“I am determined to tell more stories from the Chinese immigrant community since some community members told me every time they come across an immigrant actor appearing on TV that looks like them or holds similar characteristics, they feel immediately connected to that character,” said Shen. “They also feel their own happi-

ness, struggles or sorrows have been seen, heard and understood by others.”

Shen said he expects the filming to be done by the end of the year, and he and his team will forward film clips to Netflix and other North American streaming services to see if his show could get on those bigger platforms. Even as an experienced director, Shen said he felt unsure if Chinese immigrant stories would resonate with English-speaking audiences. “I used to worry that an Englishspeaking audience would fall asleep while watching my work.” But he soon decided that trying to “please” an English audience would be a waste of time. “I would rather spend more time thinking about what makes a good story. Good stories always win,” laughed Shen.

Take care: four unexpected sources of mental health distress By Dr. Cameron Anderson, Attending Psychiatrist and Medical Manager, Segal 7 general psychiatry inpatient unit, VGH

Many individuals struggle with their mental health — and while the COVID-19 pandemic has increased mental distress, many long-standing and sometimes surprising causes remain the same. This is why it’s remarkable to see people doing their best despite this life-altering event. It’s an achievement in and of itself and it’s OK if you’re not feeling as much like yourself as you’re used to. Just remember — you’re important. You matter. It’s OK to take care of yourself. Take a walk. Take a break. Take a moment. And if you find yourself struggling, reflect on where these feelings are coming from. There are several unexpected sources of mental distress that when addressed can help your mental wellbeing. 1.

Heartache inspires music debut Elizabeth Douglas

Abbey Coulthard said she grew up surrounded by music, yet hadn’t found the conﬁdence to write her own until a friend suggested she use it as an emotional outlet. “I went through a relatively rough breakup, which coincided with the loss of a friendship,” said the 24-year-old Hugh Boyd grad. “It really affected my mental health. I wasn’t in a good place.” Before studying music at Vancouver Community College, she attended Hugh Boyd Secondary in Richmond where she had the opportunity to hone her singing talent. “I didn’t take band in high school, I took drama.” she said.

“But by the time I was in Grade 11, usually [the school] would ask me to sing at assemblies and other events.”

Abby Coulthard, 24, has released a debut single. Elizabeth Douglas Photo

In her ﬁnal year at Boyd, at the age of 18, Coulthard competed in the 2015 ﬁnals of RichCity Idol, a Richmond-wide competition that brings together aspiring singers from local high schools.

quite a bit, so when things are difﬁcult, I really feel it,” she said. “I thought, I should combine these two together, my music and my feelings.” She explained that the lyrics for “Fake Friends” were motivated by betrayal in a friendship but didn’t want to disclose any further information at the time of the interview.

Coulthard said the competition helped build her conﬁdence in performing and taught her how to handle rejection in the music industry. “The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realized that [music] isn’t about winning. At least it isn’t for me, anyway,” she said. “A lot of the times people are going to say no, or they’re not going to like what you do.”

A celebrated Richmond-based pianist said she respects a Chinese performing arts authority’s decision to expel one of its most famous members, after he was allegedly caught with a prostitute.

In January 2022, Coulthard is planning to release her debut EP (extended play) album, also titled “Fake Friends.”

The owner of World of Music and Arts in Steveston, Anna Vavilova, was asked for her reaction to Chinese superstar pianist Li Yundi being a suspect in a prostitution case in China and subsequently banned from performing anywhere in the country.

Coulthard’s debut single, “Fake Friends” can be heard on the music streaming service provider, Spotify.

News of the arrest quickly went viral across China and then onto Chinese social media where many Richmondites joined in the debate.

why I want to bring Canadian artists to the Canadian audience.”

In a matter of hours after it was conﬁrmed 39-year-old Li Yundi was a suspect, the groups announced Li was expelled due to “negative social impact.”

“I want to make something that champions Canadian artists,” said Moorey, adding the show will feature eight other comedy artists.

Moorey said he caught the stand-up comedy bug after watching George Carlin talk about “upsetting themes like religion or politics in a weirdly funny way.

COMMUNITY Remember veterans ‘in place’

Remembrance Day in Richmond will be a quiet affair again as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to curtail large gatherings. There will be an invitation-only event for 100 participants at Richmond City Hall plaza on Nov. 11, with the Royal Canadian Legion sending out the invitations. The Legion is organizing the event, and, although other events are allowing larger gatherings, the Legion wants to make sure attendees are safe, especially given many

are potentially more at-risk for COVID-19 because their age and other health factors. Therefore, the Remembrance Day Committee is encouraging the public to follow the ceremony online starting after 10:30 a.m. To follow the Richmond Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11, go to the richmond. ca/remember. Two minutes of silence will be observed at 11 a.m. This year marks the 100th anniversary of using the poppy to collectively honour vet-

erans. Poppies have been on sale at various businesses since Friday — all proceeds go to support veterans. Richmond residents can download a poppy poster and display it to commemorate Remembrance Day. To ﬁnd the poster, go to Legion.ca/remembrance/the-poppy/history-of-the-poppy — Maria Rantanen/News

ASK A PROFESSIONAL Q: Can Chiropractors Recommend and

Our strata complex has a lot of trees, and several parking lot drains. The leaves keep plugging up our pipes and causing our drains to overflow and flood. We have them regularly cleaned out, but the Vacuum Truck operator says there isn’t much debris in them. Is there a remedy for this? Sid - Strata Council Member

Provide Orthotics?

Yes. Chiropractors can assess your feet to determine if orthotics are required. If you want to build any structure, a strong foundation is one of the key components. The human body is no different. Alignment of the bones in the feet can influence the functional stability of the rest of the body. There are several things you can do to keep your feet healthy. You should avoid activities that cause recurring pain in your feet, knees or hips. You should wear appropriate, properly-fitting athletic shoes when you exercise. And most important is to have your Chiropractor check the mechanical movement patterns of your feet, knees, hips and pelvis. A routine gait analysis can pick up minor imbalances before they create major problems. Biomechanical evaluation often reveals patients feet rolling inwards or rather pronating. Orthotics can help to stabilize the lower extremities & pelvis to help maintain normal posture and reduce over pronation. This often helps with problems like plantar fascitis, foot or knee pain, and even low back pain. Thus, be sure to have your feet checked by your Chiropractor on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to take you where you want to go in a pain-free way. Complimentary orthotic consultation available until November 30th, limited spots available. Call now!

Leaves become a problem for most complexes every fall. The drains in your parking areas are called Catch Basins. The job of the catch basin is to collect debris at its bottom, such as dirt, sand, and decomposing leaves. When catch basins become too full, the solids which are supposed to remain at the bottom, rise up to the top and plug up the horizontal pipes which carry away rain-water to the city’s storm sewer. If your catch basins are being regularly emptied, and leaves are creating problems for you in the fall, it is likely that there aren’t Leaf Guards installed on the horizontal pipes. Leaf guards allow the leaves to sit on top of the water in the catch basin, while still allowing the water to flow out of the catch basin freely. As the leaves become water-logged, they get heavy and sink to the bottom of the catch basin where they decompose. If you’re not sure if you have leaf guards installed, please give us a call and we’ll be happy to come out and have a look. It’s a low-cost solution, to a very common problem.

When you buy travel insurance, does it Q: include coverage for COVID-19? A:

Reach our professionals with your questions.

With the borders opening up and people starting to travel again, it’s important to protect yourself with travel insurance, as medical care is expensive!

COVID-19 coverage is now available through certain travel insurance companies, and is usually purchased in addition to your regular travel insurance policy. Make sure to read your policy and know what you have purchased as some policies have limitations in place, including but not limited to the maximum number of days they cover you for COVID-19 care, destinations and the amount of coverage they provide. Some companies offer a maximum limit of $500,000 or $1,000,000 for COVID-19 care.

Suzanne Lima,

If you travel to the USA for example, and the advisory level is raised to Level 4, some insurance companies require you to contact them right away to let them know. It’s important to know what is required by travel insurance companies before you travel, so ask the questions.

CAIB, CIP Branch Manager – Garden City

Also, check your destination to see if there is a travel advisory in place and consider if it is a good idea to go there.

Fireﬁghters’ Pumpkin Drop this weekend

If you celebrated Halloween on the weekend, like Ken and Shannon on Regent Street in Richmond (pictured), then you’ve likely got lots of pumpkins starting to rot away on your doorstep.

Drop your pumpkin for charity at the Steveston Fire Hall this weekend. Photo submitted

You could, of course, chuck them into your green bin for the city to pick up. Whether Ken and Shannon’s giant home-grown pumpkins — at 490 and 300 pounds — would ﬁt in the green bin is quite an-

other matter. But if you can hold onto them until this weekend, the Richmond Fireﬁghters Charitable Society is hosting its Great Pumpkin Drop at Steveston Fire Hall at 10011 No. 2 Rd.

The event takes place both Saturday, Nov. 6 and Sunday, Nov. 7 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The City of Richmond composts the pumpkins, and all donations go back into the community.

multifactorial answer. Foremost on how well you take care of them. Subsequently diet; the types of foods you eat significantly impact on the wear of your teeth. Course foods tend to wear out the chewing surfaces at a much quicker rate. 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. I create dentures to last at least seven to ten years using high quality products; dependent on the above conditions.

We continue to help families through challenging times

is a Cremation Followed by Memoriall Q: What Service? A:

Obesity is defined as an abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the body that impairs health. The most common approach to measuring obesity in adults is body mass index (BMI), which is a calculation based on a person’s weight and height. In adults, obesity is defined as having a BMI of ≥30.0. However, the measurement of obesity using BMI has limitations. It does not account for body composition such as fat, muscle, or bone mass, nor does it provide any indication of the fat distribution in an individual. In addition to BMI, waist circumference is another screening tool used to estimate weight status and prediction for obesity-related risks. Obesity is a complex health issue caused by a number of different factors including behavioral and genetics. Contributing behaviours leading to obesity include physical inactivity, dietary habits and medication uses. Obesity is serious because it is associated with an increased risk for other health complications such as metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, cancers and mental health concerns. There is no single or simple solution to combat obesity. Work with your doctor and pharmacist to learn more about your body mass index and lifestyle changes to help reduce and prevent obesity.

Cremation is, in fact, only one process in a series off events that will take place. A memorial service differss from a funeral in that it takes place after the cremation.. Often the urn containing the cremated remains is present withh memorabilia, photographs, awards or any personal effects thatt are meaningful or special. For individuals and families choosingg cremation a decision regarding a final resting place must also bee made. If your choice is cremation, you must carefully consider thee options for final disposition of the cremated remains. You can make your arrangements in advance.

Host Ravens hockey Fab four dominating youth squash in Canada teams grab gold Alan Campbell

Richmond’s fab four youth squash stars (from left) Spring Ma, Weihan Wang, Jacob Lin and Ocean Ma. Photo submitted

Two Richmond Ravens teams grabbed gold on home ice last week at the 8th annual Paciﬁc Coast Female Rep Classic Hockey Tournament. Almost 40 teams came from across B.C. and Alberta to compete for titles in three divisions, U13, U15 and U18 at Richmond Ice Centre.

The victorious Richmond Ravens’ U18 (above) and U13 teams.

And the host’s U13 and U18 teams won their respective divisions, with the latter sailing through the round robin portion of the tournament with a 3-0 record.

A fab four from Richmond are taking the squash world in Canada by storm.

They then beat Abbotsford Ice in the semiﬁnal before facing the highly touted Calgary Fire team in the ﬁnal. The gold medal game was fast and close the entire time, with the Fire holding onto a one-goal lead until the Ravens tied it late. And during a 4 on 4 in overtime the Ra-

was a ﬁnalist in the U15 category. The four young stars are the founding members of Richmond’s Sunshine Squash Club, which they created to promote the sport and raise funds for those in need.

Jacob Lin, Weihan Wang and twin sisters Spring and Ocean Ma either won a title or silver medal at last week’s Canadian Squash Championships in Toronto. vens clinched it, sending the home team racing off the bench in celebration.

Last year, they raised about $7,000 for Vancouver General Hospital to support frontline doctors and nurses.

Jacob won the U17 championship (his fourth national victory), Ocean beat her sibling to the U15 title, while Weihan

STEWART, Sarah (Morag) June 2, 1934 − October 28, 2021 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Morag following a long battle with cancer. Morag was born in Troon, Scotland, and moved to Canada in 1966. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Leslie, in 1983. She is survived by her sons, Paul and Brian (Miriam); her granddaughters, Elise (Eddy) and Devon (Brian); and was blessed with five great−grandchildren, Hunter, Marley, Haven, Ren, and Willow. She was deeply loved by many including her brother−in−law, her nieces and nephews, as well as a great number of wonderful friends. Our Nana was an amazing lady with a feisty Scottish spirit that carried her through the many challenges she faced in her life. She was known as a kind and generous soul and was loved by all who met her. She had an adventurous side and loved to be active. She had many interests, including cycling, aqausize, baking, travelling, and her number one favourite, shopping. She loved to get together with family and friends and was famous for spoiling her granddaughters. Special thanks to Richmond Home Care and the Palliative Care team for all your support A Celebration of Life for Morag will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation. Nana will be deeply missed and will forever be in our hearts. We love you.
