New bridge will just shift bottle neck: Brodie BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
Sending super tankers up the Fraser is real reason for project, say local politicians
News last Friday that the province is chronic, Brodie feared a new bridge would planning to relieve traffic congestion at the only shift the bottleneck several kilometres Massey Tunnel by building a new along Hwy. 99 to the south end of crossing over the South Arm of the Oak Street Bridge. the Fraser River is being received “We need to look, from a point with skepticism. of view of traffic and infrastrucAnd one of the biggest doubtture, at the entire corridor. Not For a video ers, so far, is Richmond Mayor just one part of it,” Brodie said. Malcolm Brodie. “So, I am waiting to hear if there is anything While a new bridge — shown in a govmore to the plan, and, if so, what the other ernment video as having 10 lanes — may components are. I do believe it is a bottledeal with traffic in the immediate area where neck, and it significantly impacts Richmond delays through the 54-year-old tunnel are in many ways. What I’m not convinced of is
that they have come up with the answer just to say that there will be a new bridge.” Brodie added he is also keen to hear how the project is going to be financed, although he suspects it to be a P3 (Private, Public, Partnership) arrangement, similar to the new Port Mann Bridge, which charges tolls. “But we’ll just wait and see,” he said. Clark made the announcement at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver and told the assembled group of politicians work was scheduled to commence in 2017, following consultation phases that
began last November. There was no word on the price tag for bridge construction and eventual removal of the Massey Tunnel. Beyond the finances, Brodie said he was also concerned the bridge would have a hefty environmental impact on the Richmond side and believes it is being pushed through with little regional transit planning coordination and consultation in order to accommodate Port Metro Vancouver’s desire to have large, Panamex-sized vessels ply the waters of the Fraser River’s South Arm. see Steves page 4

RCMP ‘swoop’ down on distracted drivers Each month about 100 tickets are given out just for cell phone use
BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
The time to multi-task is not when you’re behind the steering wheel. That was the message the Richmond RCMP and ICBC was getting across to drivers Tuesday morning as they held a one-day education and enforcement campaign at five locations across the city. Called Project Swoop, it monitored not only the speed drivers For video were going, but whether or not they were being distracted while driving. And while that can come in a variety of forms — from turning around to discipline rowdy children in the back seats, to chowing down on a hamburger – one of the main culprits that can get you a fine and demerit points on your driver’s licence is using a hand-held electronic device. In Richmond, the RCMP hands out roughly 100 tickets for that infraction each month. And at $167 a pop, it’s an expensive lesson on how dangerous using a hand-held cell phone can be while driving. “You are four times as likely to be involved in a crash if you are behind the wheel and you are talking on an hand-held cell phone,” said ICBC Safety Manager Jill Blacklock, who accompanied a group of Road Safety
PHILIP RAPHAEL/RICHMOND NEWS
Richmond RCMP were cracking down on distracted drivers with spot checks at five locations throughout Richmond Tuesday.
volunteers along a stretch of No. 5 Road just south of Blundell Road where the posted speed limit for the four lane strip of asphalt is 50 km/h, has numerous crosswalks, churches and schools that create a good share of pedestrian traffic. And if you are texting, the likelihood you are going to have an accident soars 24 times above normal, Blacklock added. That’s why the province enacted laws specific to the use of cellphones, GPS systems and MP3 players to discourage that type of behaviour that some drivers classify
as a minor distraction. But according to statistics from ICBC, distracted driving is responsible for about one quarter of all car crash fatalities in B.C. And on average each year, 31 people die in the Lower Mainland in distracted driving-related crashes. So, with the number of tickets being issued monthly and annual total of serious road accidents, is the message getting through? “There is a bit of disconnect,” Blacklock said, adding many drivers feel like eating and drinking while driving is something they can easily
handle. While that might be a distraction and most likely will not get you a warning or ticket, using a hand-held electronic device certainly will. However, what is allowed is the use of a hands-free cell phone system, but only if it is a one-touch operation unit. For those who feel the need to stay in touch constantly, Blacklock suggested cell phone users employ the voice-activated functions of their phone that will allow drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road.
Keep your shorts on or risk extortion: Police Four local males caught with their pants down on video chat site
BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
Careful what you reveal about yourself on the Internet, especially if it involves doffing your duds. The warning comes from the Richmond RCMP after they investigated four cases of attempted extortion involving local young males — aged between 15 and 20 — who got involved with video chat sites over the last month. According to RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Stephanie Ashton,
JUDY’S TIP OF THE WEEK Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to recieve it.
Judy Jobse, Service Manager Hours of operation Mon-Friday 7:30-5:30-Sat 8-4
the four hooked up online with what they believed were females from other countries, and during the course of their conversations exposed themselves via their webcam. “Almost right afterwards they then get this message demanding payment through Western Union, otherwise the images would be uploaded on Facebook for their friends and family to see,” Ashton
said, adding the amounts went as high as $3,000. No money was paid in these instances, but Ashton believes that now this story has been made public, there may have been others duped into the same extortion scam who come forward. “This just reinforces the warning that be very careful what you reveal about yourself online,” Ashton said. “These images are
something that can come back to haunt you 10 years from now and maybe hurt your chances at getting a job.” As for a criminal investigation, Ashton said one complication is the online chat sites the males used were not the same. “Chances are this is probably so much bigger than the incidents that have come to our attention in Richmond,” Ashton said.

News Steves: New span will lead to loss of farmland in Delta Continued from page 1 “It’s part of a bigger strategy so that the biggest ships in the world can come up that river to various port facilities,” Brodie said. It’s a scenario longtime Richmond Coun. Harold Steves shares. “The three main beneficiaries of building a new bridge is the port, the port and the port,” Steves said, adding the tunnel’s removal would provide the required draught for large ships to continue unimpeded up the river to proposed facilities such as an airport fuel terminal in Richmond and a coal transfer site at Surrey Fraser Docks. Currently, Steves said, there is a very narrow window for large vessels to be able to navigate the shallow waters over the tunnel. “It’s about one hour every day at high tide,” he said. “And that’s not on every day of the year, either. “There’s probably 50 to 100 days when the tides aren’t very high. And with Panamex tankers needing about a mile of water to stop, if they are late going up or down the river they can find themselves running up on the rocks.” But Steves’ concerns don’t rest here in Richmond. He’s worried that if the bridge is built it will open up large areas of Delta farmland for residential and industrial development, “just the same way the Oak Street Bridge did in Richmond in 1958.” “The opening of the Oak Street Bridge coincided exactly with the rezoning of farmland in Richmond,” Steves said, adding that by the time the Agricultural Land Reserve was enacted in 1972, Richmond lost roughly

12,500 acres of farmland. “So, basically what this bridge will do is open up Delta to development and definitely trigger the heavy industrialization of the Fraser River, which was never intended.” As for alternatives, Steves pointed to the port at Prince Rupert as the logical site for expansion. “Prince Rupert is in economic decline — there’s not enough shipping there. And it’s the most direct (rail) route across Canada,” he said. Steves also suggested the interior communities of Ashcroft and Kamloops have long asked to be considered for container traffic. “There’s thousands of acres of cactus land that can be used for an in-land (container) port.”

As for dealing with traffic congestion, Brodie said more consideration should have been given to public transit improvements and a shift in the hours the port operates to lessen the burden on the tunnel prior to a decision on building a new bridge. “We don’t need a new bridge to take the first step to decongest that corridor,” Brodie said. “Give more money — sustainable funding — for the buses, and get more people out of their cars and into the buses. And secondly, get the port to adopt 24-hour operations, and get a lot of the deliveries made by the big trucks done by the time most people get onto the road. “I think that would go a long way towards the kind of goals we are setting.” Steves added he would much rather see the government make good on its promise in 2006 to twin the tunnel and include provisions for rapid transit extending to South Surrey. “There’s only one reason for changing that decision, and that’s to get these Panamex super tankers up the river with jet
fuel, and get these huge coal ships down the river from Fraser Surrey Docks,” he said. But what of the existing tunnel? Brodie said he holds out faint hope it could be retained as part of the project, something the province threw cold water on stating the link has just 10 to 15 years of useful life remaining, “before major components will need to be completely replaced.” The ministry also said that while it is safe for current use, the tunnel does not meet modern seismic standards, despite undergoing a seismic retrofit program in 2006 which included structural repairs to tunnel walls and some upgrades to ventilation systems, emergency pumps and power systems. An early warning system was also installed to alert drivers in the event of significant seismic activity. Pleased with the new bridge announcement is the Richmond Chamber of Commerce whose members stand to benefit from an anticipated improvement in the flow of traffic across the river. “Many businesses in Richmond have a real need for great transportation corridors, not only for the movement of goods and services, but also employees to and from work,” said Howard Harowitz, a chamber board member and chair of it’s policy and advisory committee. “We’re firmly behind the premier’s announcement and pleased to see she’s going ahead with getting this done.” The choice of a bridge crossing over the existing tunnel also matches what a majority of chamber members preferred when asked in a survey, Harowitz said. “And we know that Richmond is not just a community that Hwy. 99 travels through,” Harowitz said. “This is an important corridor for people either originating from or going to Richmond.”

News School job cuts expected to fund CUPE contract BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
Now that a deal between unionized school support staff and the provincial government has been done, June Kaiser is waiting for the other shoe to drop — namely where the money will come from to pay for the agreed upon wage increase. Kaiser, president of CUPE Local 716, which represents about 1,000 workers in the Richmond School District, said she is hoping the 3.5 per cent bump her members have been promised over two years will not come at the expense of jobs locally. “We are really hoping they (Richmond School District) will look elsewhere other than the frontline workers who support children in the classrooms,” she said. Under the agreement reached last week, local districts are being told to come up with the money to fund the wage increase. “Time and time again we have been the ones who have been cut,” Kaiser said “And we are bare bones now. They need to look elsewhere other than CUPE jobs.” Kaiser added she was relieved the union was able to strike a deal that did not make
concessions to roll back unionized workers’ sick leave benefits. Plus, a provision that allows instant drug payment benefits will go a long way for workers, many of whom earn $19 an hour for custodial staff to $24.43 for education assistants. CUPE has until Dec. 20 to ratify the deal. A local vote is expected in November. But jobs are expected to be cut to fund a portion of the wage increase, said Richmond School Board Chairperson Donna Sargent. Exactly how many and who’s jobs will be lost, Sargent said she could not say as staff are working on how much the contract increase will cost and then determine how to foot the bill. Tapping into Richmond’s $6.1 million surplus, accumulated over a number of years, is also part of the plan. “It’s not ideal,” Sargent said, adding the provision granted by the province for districts to also dip into their capital budgets to fund one year of the two-year CUPE deal is, “stepping into very dangerous territory. We have so little capital funding already.” A decision on just where the jobs will be cut is expected to be made public at the district’s board meeting on Oct. 5.

Skies clear for Steveston’s biggest grand prix yet BY Y VONNE R OBERTSON
yrobertson@richmond-news.com
The week leading up to last Saturday wasn’t looking promising, weather-wise, predicting cloudy skies and high chance of rain. But as 85 artists headed to the Britannia Heritage Shipyards to prepare for the fourth annual Steveston Grand Prix of Art, the skies cleared and the sun shone through on the biggest rendition to date. “I’m still on a high For a video from the event, I think,” said Mark Glavina, owner of Phoenix Workshop in Steveston and organizer of the grand prix which gives artists just three hours to complete their work. “It was amazing. There was such a range of artwork, some really great stuff. It was the perfect light with the perfect conditions for painting.” The lengthy deliberation process spoke to the quality and amount of artwork received, as the judges took longer than usual trying to decide who to award the top three adult and youth prizes, according to Glavina. “I think the best part is when everyone has to wait outside until the judges make their decision,” said Angela Soon of Britannia Heritage Shipyards. “It’s exciting to see them waiting in anticipation.

Daphne Lawrence paints the waterfront at the fourth annual Steveston Grand Prix of Art. the decisions had been made, there was already a lineup of about 300 eager people stretching through the park. Such a crowd and increase in artist participation has management at Britannia and Glavina thinking about expanding the exhibition space next year to the newly renovated Seine Net Loft, which has its grand opening tomorrow (Sept. 26) at 5 p.m.
“That will give the event some more flexibility so that if it wants to grow, we’ll have the space to grow it,” said Marie Fenwick, site manager at Britannia. “This is a great community event that engages both local artists and youth. It really links the whole community together.” This year saw a record number of young artists, making up 30 of the 85.
Out on the street, artist John Beatty witnessed a sense of community first hand, as he was placed in front of the Cannery Café. Crowds of people didn’t hesitate to come up and talk to him, asking questions and taking pictures. “I really liked how interested people were,” said the longtime artist and Richmond resident. “I had a great location this time. I ended up parking my easel on the street to get a good angle, so sometimes I’d end up helping people park their cars so they wouldn’t run me over.” The Grand Champion was Stephen Chen who received the Coast Capital Savings $500 cash prize for his oil painting Clouds of Fall. Chen’s son Joshua won the youth category last year. In second place, came John Hoffman receiving the Community Arts Council of Richmond (CACR) $250 cash prize and third place was given to Leo Hu, receiving the CACR $150 cash prize. The winner of the Gert Young Award for the youth category was Iris Lee, followed by Vania Eng and Tamara Steves. Honourable mention was given to Dan Gray, Annie Tsai and Appllo Reerente. The exhibition is on at the Chinese Bunk House until Sunday, Sept. 29. The People’s Choice Award will be announced on the Sunday, so cast your vote for your favourite grand prix artist.
Huge library donation cleared, audit raises no concerns The $1.2 million in tax receipts for books was cleared by Canada Revenue Agency BY D ERRICK P ENNER The Vancouver Sun
A Canada Revenue Agency audit of the Richmond Public Library has raised no concerns about the $1.2 million in tax receipts the institution issued to a donor in 2011 for a blockbuster in-kind donation of 47,000 Chinese-language books, the chief librarian reports. Greg Buss included a copy of the CRA audit report in a memo to the library board, which highlighted reporting practices the library needs to tighten up, but made no mention of the receipts issued in relation to the big donation from Kwok Chu-Lee and his wife Grace. The — Greg Buss Vancouver Sun had earlier raised concerns about the value the Richmond Public Library placed on the books for purpose of issuing tax receipts because the appraisal the library relied on contained little detail about the methodology appraiser Bjarne Tokerud used. While a large number of books were received, Tokerud’s appraisal reports for the donation — which was broken into two separate lots, one attributed to Lee, the other to his wife — consisted of two single-page letters describing the subject matter, approximate age and condition of the books, and an estimate of their fair-market value. A single-page appendix noted the two
“Obviously I’m pleased that the CRA felt we did our due diligence...”
lots constituted one of the largest and best collections of contemporary books he had encountered, with many of the books being impossible to replace. Tax receipts offer charitable donors the opportunity to reduce their tax burden, which costs taxpayers in foregone revenue. Now-retired Vancouver Sun columnist David Baines raised questions about this donation as a matter of determining whether taxpayers received fair value for the tax receipts. The CRA audit covered the period of Jan. 1, 2010 through Dec. 31, 2011, including the period in which the Lee donation was made, and Buss states in his memo to the board the audit “raised no concerns with the library’s handling of the Lee donation,” either with the appraiser’s methodology, the value set on the books, or the library’s process. The letter from CRA auditor John Dumalski sets out points where the library was in non-compliance of its reporting as a registered charity and doesn’t mention the Lee donation by name. It only references the donation’s $1.2-million amount in a section where it notes that the library had been incorrectly dating tax receipts (although not those for this donation). “Obviously I’m pleased that the CRA felt we did our due diligence and met all the requirements they set out,” Buss said. He added that the tax agency did identify eight points where the library was not in compliance. “If you look at them, the majority, I wouldn’t say are insignificant, but are easily addressed,” he said. Those pertain to how the library was recording donations, dating its tax receipts,

As for the Lee donation itself, Buss said about 26,000 of the books have been catalogued and are in circulation, with about 1,000 of them being checked out every month. The library is working with experts and academics on developing programming
around 15,000 other items such as art books, books on Chinese literature, history, medicine and fortune telling. Buss added that the remaining books have been catalogued, it is just a matter of finding space for them on shelves. “So there is no question the collection is of interest to the community and is being used by the community,” Buss said.

Rise above past horrors
S
unday marked the end of Truth and Reconciliation week in B.C., one of the more meaningful attempts by Canada to understand and confront the multi-generational impact of the residential school system on First Nations people. For decades, children were stolen from their parents’ arms, had their culture beaten out of them and were sent out into the world without the basic advantages that come with a proper upbringing. Many were made aware of schools such as St. Paul’s Indian Residential School through Squamish, Musqueam and TsleilWaututh members who had first-hand experience. The City of North Vancouver chipped in for a memorial. Judging by the lack of knowledge, the monument is clearly needed. This summer we, as a country, also learned about the hugely unethical and dehumanizing experiments conducted on First Nations children without consent. This is on top of the already well-known abuse — physical, emotional and sexual. Clearly the truth part of truth and reconciliation is still emerging. As for reconciliation, it’s hard to atone for the lasting and damaging sins of colonialism, but it’s the task we now have. It is clear the task is still only beginning. There is, however, a remarkable resilience demonstrated by the recent First Nations generations, not raised in the residential school system, but struggling and succeeding to rise above the abuse and break the vicious cycles it spawned. This is cause for great hope while we reflect on the great wrongs of the past.
CHOICE WORDS
Mistakes in tunnel decision The Editor, Re: “Tunnel to be replaced by bridge,” Online, Sept. 20. I am pleased the provincial government has officially announced a replacement for the Massey Tunnel. However, two major mistakes were made. First, the bridge that will be built will replace the tunnel. Why not have the tunnel AND the bridge? What are the additional costs of having both as opposed to tearing down a tunnel that has plenty of life left in the tank. Perhaps the premier wants to allow tankers to run across the Fraser River. That’s a dangerous move. Secondly, the premier didn’t rule out the possibility of the bridge having tolls on it. During these tough times in our economy, the last thing Richmondites heading south and returning north need is to pay a toll out of pocket each way, every waking day. It’s just another instance of the BC Liberal government preying on hard working taxpayers. But, hey, we should’ve expected this from the Clark government. Over the last few years, they’ve been the fee collectors we’ve all had nightmares about. And here they come again. Ramesh Ranjan Richmond

NDP needs to figure out its vision
Now that Adrian Dix has finally decided he’s not going to lead the NDP into the next election, the party can get on with healing its internal divisions and trying to figure out just what kind of entity it really is. For example, is the NDP a political party or a social movement? A group of party members calling themselves “Forward B.C. NDP” has emerged and argues for the former. The group wants to re-energize the party with new blood, and a new team calling the shots from the executive on down. But standing in their way, at least potentially, is what I call the Romantic Left. These are the types who want to go back to the party’s socialist roots and who view any emphasis on such things as sophisticated polling and honing party policies to gain public support through a very dark and suspicious lens. So that’s one internal challenge the party faces. The other big challenge is for the NDP to establish credibility when it comes to economic issues. But the party has pushed itself away from being the one that looks out for the interests of blue collar workers, and has instead aligned itself with the environmental wing that opposes so many of the projects that create blue collar jobs. The importance of this shift cannot be underestimated. It has allowed the B.C. Liberals under Premier
Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE
Christy Clark a free ride into cloaking itself as the “jobs party.” The recent provincial election, in many ways, turned on this very issue. Dix’s sudden and arbitrary announcement that the NDP opposed the Kinder Morgan pipeline project is a perfect example of the NDP abandoning the blue collar worker in favour of the urban, white collar worker who doesn’t see (or care) about the connection between the natural resource sector and paycheques in this province. In his desperate bid to ensure victory in a couple of ridings on the west side of Vancouver, he killed any hopes of winning a whole bunch of seats outside of the Lower Mainland. But Kinder Morgan is just one project and there are plenty more out there for the NDP to stumble on: the Site C dam, the Delta coal port expansion, new mining ventures, fracking and the potential expansion of the LNG industry. Of course, the B.C. Liberals face their own challenges on this file, but they are nowhere nearly as divisive for the party. The government may well end up opposing Kinder Morgan itself, but it will still be able
to point to its support for natural resource jobs. The fact that many of these jobs have yet to materialize and may not actually be created for years is almost immaterial in political terms, at least in the short-term (although one potential disaster for Clark is if her all-in push for the LNG industry falls completely flat). It will be interesting to see how much of these internal debates (political party versus social movement, and economic growth versus environmental values) surface during the NDP’s leadership race. I suspect there will be some heated discussions, and potential leadership candidates will try to navigate some tricky waters as they try to woo support. But the leadership race may not resolve these problems. If the past rules for the leadership race apply, the outcome will be determined by bulk membership sign-ups (particularly in ethnic communities) and not by a candidate’s policy or philosophy. The departure of Dix as leader was inevitable, but that on its own it doesn’t solve the riddles facing the party. It is still an entity searching for an identity, and its members are far from being unified on solving those challenges, let alone on who should lead them. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

MASSEY TUNNEL
Bridge helps tankers, not traffic Clark invests in cars, ignores transit The Editor, Re: “Tunnel to be replaced by bridge,” Online, Sept. 20. The only reason for the building of a bridge over the Fraser River to replace the Massey Tunnel is not to alleviate traffic congestion, but to allow oil tankers to ply the Fraser River and access the new oil pipeline terminal the government is obviously keeping secret from us. And as for Premier Christy Clark’s
statement that she does not know whether the cost of the bridge will be passed onto the public in the form of tolls or not, well all I can say is open your wallet again. And why not keep the tunnel and use it for rapid transit? That would make sense. Doug Massey, I will sign your petition. Brian Barnes Steveston
WALMART
At least tone down mall design The Editor, Re: “Richmond Walmart hits buffer, again,” News, Sept. 18. I am a resident of the city centre. We have Target just opening and two other major malls in the area, not to mention three lesser ones. There are lots of dollar stores and other discount stores, and there’s already a Walmart just down the road in Queensborough. I don’t think we need another big shopping centre on Alderbridge. If council does approve Walmart, they will lose my support. But if they do approve it, I want them to please P-L-EA-S-E tone it down so they leave at least a 15- or 20-metre green strip of what is
now growing there. I would really like more of the forest in the area of No. 4 Road and Alderbridge maintained too. I am one of those who really enjoy having the Garden City Lands there and I don’t want to be at the lands and looking across the street at a mall. Imagine doing that at Stanley Park or Garry Point! Council is reviewing this proposal again on Oct. 8. If you share my concerns, please let them know how you feel by calling or writing them. Sometimes as few as 30 pieces of correspondence can change things. Lorne Brandt Richmond
Push forward, land already useless The Editor, Re: “Richmond Walmart hits buffer again,” News, Sept. 18. It’s frustrating to see this project once again being placed on hold. If anyone has been to the area as of late I think they would agree that it might as well be deemed uninhabitable. The plans that were put forth more than 10 years ago are a direct result of why the properties have been neglected, abandoned, and in most cases torn down. The level of vagrant and criminal activity has increased dramatically. The two councillors that were against this proposal need to look at the overall impact to society, not simply the environ-
mental impact. The economic benefits to Richmond far outweigh the environmental concerns (of which some are addressed by the developer) that residents and councillors are putting forth. Are we forgetting about the hundreds of jobs that will be created throughout the life of this project, and thereafter? What else can be done with these vacant, abandoned properties? The taxpaying owners of these properties have spoken: “Develop the land, or let it remain as a vacant eyesore in Richmond, attracting unwanted activity.” Sundeep Gill Richmond
The Editor, Re: “Tunnel to be replaced by bridge,” Online, Sept. 20. This week Premier Christy Clark announced that a new bridge will replace the George Massey Tunnel. Premier Clark states, “Congestion at the tunnel is frustrating for families and stalling the economy. A new bridge will improve travel times for transit, commuters and commercial users, and open the corridor up to future rapid transit options.” Time and time again, Clark has announced mega projects, many P3 guaranteeing long-term profit. Sadly, while money can be found for bridges, the government is ordering TransLink to cinch its belt.
HandyDART, which provides a vital link to society for seniors and disabled people, has had its service hours cut by TransLink and that money given to taxis. Clark claims to understand the frustration of families when it comes to commuting by cars, but is blind to the frustration of thousands of HandyDART users and their families refused rides and forced into taxis. It costs less to care for healthy people. HandyDART is an integral part of keeping people healthy. Safe public transportation for all is not a burden, it is a savings. Taxpayers do not object to their money spent wisely. Mark Beeching Langley
POLITICS
Baldrey misses key numbers The Editor, Re: “Liberals conveniently bury bad news,” Column, Aug. 21. Keith Baldrey makes good points, but omitted the hundreds of millions owed to us by California, who passed a state law making it illegal to repay B.C. The Liberals loved this, as all that “phantom revenue” is listed on the balance sheet as an asset (account receivable), masking their eight-figure waste and incompetence while presenting a budget skewed from truth. George Pope Richmond
Practise what you preach The Editor, Re: “Throw-away designs need tossing,” Column, Sept. 20. Mayor Brodie’s lecture on reducing waste is a bit rich coming from him considering the city allows good houses to be torn down and taken to the dump every day. Graham Taylor Richmond

Thank you to mystery woman The Editor, I write this letter in the hopes that the mystery woman will receive her thanks, and also to let everyone in Richmond know that there are great people who live here. Last Wednesday morning, we were notified that our cat was laying on the sidewalk a couple houses east of our house on Williams Road. We then went out to find our lifeless pet cat Coal wrapped in a purple towel. As upsetting as this discovery was, we were comforted by the grace and kindness of a random stranger who, when she came across him in the middle of the road at night while driving, took it upon
herself to pick him up off the road and then return back to the site with a towel to wrap him in. We unfortunately were unable to return her concerned voicemails (as her phone number was listed private), but felt comforted by the way in which a complete stranger took it upon herself to do a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. When the time came, our pet was given a fitting send off. Our heartfelt thanks again to the mystery woman who cared enough to honour a stranger’s pet. Jane and Keith Norman Richmond

Show hospital you care The Editor, Re: “Community has one big day to show it cares,” News, Sept. 18. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, Richmond Hospital and its staff are there for us to ensure we can live happy and healthy lives. On Saturday, we have a special day for our community to say thank you and give back. Richmond Hospital Foundation’s sixth annual Community Cares Day is this Saturday, Sept. 28. It’s a feature event across our city that highlights the needs of our hospital and brings our diverse citizens together to improve local health care. While government funds some of the essentials at Richmond Hospital, the ability to purchase advanced
new medical technologies, to provide additional comforts for seniors in residential care, and to upgrade facilities, relies on the generosity of people like you. That’s where Richmond Hospital Foundation comes in. It raises awareness of our local health care needs, and acts as a catalyst for your support. And there’s no bigger day for our health care community than Community Cares Day. Saturday’s all-day event features more than 100 volunteers at prominent supporter booths at local shopping malls (Richmond Centre, Lansdowne Centre, Aberdeen Centre, and Ironwood Plaza), a call centre to receive donations and a street team waving signs outside a donation drivethru at Richmond Hospital.
In addition, an exclusive two-hour primetime special on Fairchild TV, radio broadcasts, as well as partnerships with numerous media outlets allow us to broaden our reach beyond our in-person locations. On Saturday, help us change the lives of those in need of care by making a donation to Richmond Hospital Foundation. Donate at www.richmondhospitalfoundation. com, by phone at 604-2445252, or in person at any of our volunteer locations. Let’s show the doctors, nurses and other health care professionals who take such good care of us, that we care about them. Chad Pederson Co-chair, Richmond Hospital Foundation
Cyclists don’t always follow rules The Editor, Re: “Bikes still lagging behind,” News, Sept. 13. There has been much debate about cycling, both here and in Vancouver, and the tremendous expenditure on new cycling infrastructure. As both a cyclist and driver, I hope I can have a fairly balanced perspective. I am in full support of safer biking options such as designated lanes and routes, but have to take issue with the many cyclists who continue to flaunt the rules of the road. They have all these wonderful new bike lanes, but refuse to use them. So, why are we spending so many tax dollars on this development? Just the other day, on Railway Avenue (which has
now not only has bike lanes on either side but a brandnew “greenway” as well), I witnessed a young man riding his bike on the sidewalk, on the wrong side of the road — when he has three bike lanes to choose from! Then he suddenly encountered a group of pedestrians who then had to leap out of his way. I could go on and on with countless accounts of similar situations across our city. And then there are the other things cyclists do to kindle the ire of the rest of us, like flying through red lights, stop signs, etc., especially those packs of lycraclad cycle club members who should know better. How can they gain the respect of other road/sidewalk users if they continue
on like this?

dignity and independence. A profound thought indeed. Those two goals need to guide all aspects of retirement planning before any thought goes into things like investWEALTH SMARTS ment allocation, insurance and estate planning. Dignity and independence will not be achieved without some serious planning. Every family and culture has differing ideas of what their responsibilities are in regards to their senior members. Our government pension plans, Medicare and other social programs provide a significant baseline of care. Seniors also have varying levels of financial resources to help fuel their own dignified and independent lifestyles. Statistics tell us that all these factors will be seriously impacted by the fact that families are less and less able to take care of seniors on their own, healthcare expenses are accelerating at a breakneck pace, and we are living longer lives. The resultant strain means that many will outlive their nest-eggs! One viable option is long term care insurance, a type of policy that delivers a tax-free monthly benefit to cover in-home or facility long-term care. A long term care insurance policy will pay out benefits when you need help with two or more of the six

basic activities of daily living, or you have some form of cognitive impairment (such as Alzheimer’s or another form of mental dementia) and your doctor requires you to have constant supervision because it is no longer safe to be on your own. The other option is to use your retirement nest-egg or depend on your children to fund the expenses. That kind of violates the whole dignity and independence thing though, doesn’t it? Most people I know share one common characteristic. They want to maximize the size of estate that they leave to their children. I know full well that when it comes time to choose long-term care services, they will often choose less expensive inferior care options in order to prevent encroachment on — Richard Vetter the estate. Those who choose to line the base of their retirement plans with long term care insurance will gladly accept a tax-free monthly cheque to fund the long-term care lifestyle that maximizes their dignity and independence. Given a choice, I think most people would rather have an insurance company pay. Unfortunately, long-term care insurance is not available to everyone. You need to medically qualify.

This year also celebrated the event’s 20th anniversary, which sees cities across Canada get together to clean up the country’s shorelines for a week every September. “It was really a fantastic day,” said Jill Dwyer, the cleanup’s program manager. “There was a diverse group of people from young kids to teams from Vancouver Airport Authority (VAA) and the Superstore. Some people had just heard about it on the day of and stopped by to help out.” The crew collected 474 kilograms of waste from the shores of Iona Beach on Saturday, which seemed like more litter than previous years, according to Dwyer.
The beach was also chosen as one of the special locations across Canada to celebrate the 20th anniversary with cake, games and prizes, as well as remarks by Dwyer, Rob Holt, district manager of Western Canada, Loblaw Companies Ltd., Anne Murray, vice president, community and environmental affairs, VAA, and Minister of Environment Mary Polak. Some of the waste pulled of the shores included boat pieces such as steps leading to the cabin, golf tees, a propeller and a fair amount of clothing. The cleanup is a conservation initiative of the Vancouver Aquarium and the World Wildlife Fund.

Richmond Art Gallery Fictive Realities What is real and how do we know it’s real? In a wired world where so much of our daily communication and consumption of information is mediated through technology, how do we separate fiction from reality? Language itself is already mediating and informing our experiences as we post, tweet and blog to potentially millions. The artists in Fictive Realities — Michelle Gay, Lee Henderson, Doug Jarvis, Steve Lyons, Peter Morin — present “truths” about our lives by overlaying them on the familiar and the mundane. Using technologies such interactive digital projection, artware (artist made software), video mediated sculptural installations, and good old fashioned storytelling, Fictive Realities is an exhibition that literally and figuratively projects alternate visions of our reality making us aware of the fictions we inhabit.

Opera di Concertisti presents La Traviata. Celebrate Verdi’s 200th birthday with us (a week early) with his most popular opera, La Traviata, a moving adaptation of the Dame aux Camelias story by Alexandre Dumas. Violetta, a young courtesan, encounters Alfredo at a party. He attempts to charm her, but she laughs, telling him that he can visit her when the flower of his love dies. Left alone, she simply can’t forget him and begins to wonder if a girl like herself can have a serious love. The pair retires to the country, where she regains her health, only to be visited by Alfredo’s father, who demands that she leave his son. Tearfully and regretfully, she does. Months pass, and Violetta returns to her former life in the city. There, her illness returns and she finds herself alone and abandoned. Her only consolation is a letter from Georgio Germont, saying he has reconsidered and told Alfredo the truth. Alone she waits. In her final hours, the pair arrive only to say a final goodbye. Performers include Elizabeth Lewis Celeste (Violetta/soprano), Matt Chittick (Alfredo/tenor), Andrew Greenwood (Germont/ baritone), and Dr. Nikolai Maloff, piano. The show is at

Steveston Folk Guild at the Britannia Heritage Shipyard presents: Ranj Singh Ranj Singh: “If world famous Indian ghazal singer Jagjit Singh were to share a hookah with Neil Young, the result would be Indo-Folk Music.” In the mid-’80s, Singh started his career performing with many folk-Punjabi and Hindi artists in the Vancouver area. In the ’90s, he helped form (along with his talented brothers) the group Dal Dil Vog (DDV). This group went on to win numerous awards and performed with artists such as Jan Arden, 54-40, Mathew Good, and also performed live on MuchMusic. DDV’s style of bhangara/rock music led to tours throughout North America and India, as well as three videos on MuchMusic, and one on MTV Asia. Lately, Singh has been working hard to combine his vast experience in Indian music and his unique “up stroke” guitar melodies with the talents of some other great musicians. Sadly, the Discriminators has moved on to other things due to family commitments and the like. Singh has been working as a solo act since February of this year, but from time to time, various Discriminators will join him at a show. It is unsure just

Richmond is already R&D department—a place that internationally renowned as a hub fosters creativity, encourages riskof Chinese culture—people come taking, and pushes the boundaries here from afar to enjoy Chinese restaurants, music, and traditional of theatrical form and content. Most of all, it will be a place that nourarts. The Gateway to the Pacific ishes the next generation of theatre Festival gives visitors another artists and spectators. reason to come to Richmond. CELEBRATING OUR YOUTH The second phase of Gateway 2028 sees the addition of the Gateway Junior Series, a professional theatre series specifically tailored to young audiences. Children and youth aged 4–18 will enjoy plays with the same high calibre of artistry that their parents see in the Gateway Signature Series. Our winter holiday musical will anchor the Gateway Junior Series. As well, Richmond’s children will get to see their peers on stage—kids from the Gateway Academy of the Performing Arts will also be a staple of the Gateway Junior Series. With the Gateway Junior Series, we hope to give the children of Richmond something invaluable: a life-long love of the performing arts.
The final phase will also see the addition of the Gateway Pass. A modest flat monthly fee will entitle a Gateway Pass holder unlimited access to any play in any of our four series—the Signature, Pacific, Junior, or Greenhouse. This means you could see a beloved play multiple times or watch a different play almost every night of the week. With the Gateway Pass, we want to make enjoying live theatre as simple as a cable subscription or a gym membership.
One of the things that make the Gateway a unique and special place is that on one night, you could be watching an internationally-famous singer and on the next, you might see your daughter playing cello. Our programming might grow but our mission of keeping the Gateway Theatre accessible to the community will not. FINAL THOUGHTS We are lucky to live in a city that recognizes the value of arts and culture. The arts enable our children to dream unlimited dreams. Culture is an expression of who we are as a community. Together, they make our city a better place to live. Gateway 2028 is an artistic vision that celebrates who we are, where we’ve come from, and that ensures that Richmond continues to be a great place to live.
OUR COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY As we evolve, one thing will remain constant: the Gateway Theatre’s commitment to providing a firstclass venue for Richmond. We will continue to look for the best ways to serve the artists and producers in our community.
THE WAY FORWARD: A breakdown of Gateway Theatre’s present structure and its vision for the future.

Health&Wellness Food: Having planned meals leads to healthy eating Continued from page 18 responsible only for ourselves, we can take this month to review and challenge our routine. Here are a few questions to get you started. How are we eating? Unhealthy eating is fed by habit; healthy eating takes planning. When a doctor asks patients to count the number of times they bought prepared food in the past week, the answer can surprise everyone. We might take the drive-through and eat on the run because we’re in a rush or because we’re simply hungry. How many of your meals are unplanned? When we leave diet to chance, we usually spend more money and consume more
calories, salt, fat and processed food. The bathroom scale and your bank balance can give you clues. You could simply attend to how you physically feel when eating well and when you don’t. Watch out for those late dinners and high calorie snacks. I tell my patients what I tell my kids: planning for the next day reduces the morning rush and bad choices. Where do you waste your time? Students and busy grownups often feel as if there’s not enough time in a day. We can’t add more hours to each day, but we can save time by not wasting it. Over the course of a typical day and week, keep track of how you spend your time. How many minutes do you spend on a tablet, smart
phone or computer? Television used to be the number one timewaster with shopping (for the sake of shopping) a close second, but we have developed even more sophisticated distractions. Most people are surprised how time slips away while we are answering e-mails, texting and spending time on twitter and facebook. I predict that social media will ultimately consume so much of our lives that we won’t have time to leave the house and actually meet other people. If we put a hard daily cap on our time in front of any screen and in shopping malls, we’re sure to find time for what is more important and healthy for us. You may even find time to exercise.
Where in your daily life can you fit in more physical activity? We can walk and take the stairs when we can. Many of my patients park their vehicles or get off transit a distance from work so that they can have a good walk at the beginning and the end of each day. Others use community gyms and pools close to home or work. Depending on your neighbourhood, an after-dinner stroll or cycle is a nice way to spend an evening. Take a cue from our kids, review your routines, reaffirm healthy habits and make a fresh start this season.

have a brewpub where you can go and try their wares. But what’s happening right here in Richmond? I recently stopped in at Big River Brewpub, as Richmond’s first and only brewpub. I was pleased to find these guys have made some encouraging progress in the last year. Micheal Stewart a veteran of more than 20 years in the Lower Mainland brewing scene has taken the reins as brewmaster and given the beers a local identity, and they’ve never been better. Though my personal favourites were the Sawmill Alley Brown Ale and River Pilot ESB, all eight of the beers I sampled were well crafted and true to style. They also offer their beers in refillable growlers, kegs and casks to meet any beer enthusiast’s needs. Stewart also brews a number of seasonal beers with a black IPA and Cranberry beer coming out this fall. Here’s a selection of some beers, brewpubs, bars and retailers:
Beers
Big River — Sawmill Alley Brown Ale English style brown ale brewed with Pacific Northwest flair. Full favoured with a nutty, caramel and coffee profile and just enough hops to balance it out. Well done! Driftwood — Farmhand Ale Saison is a traditional style of Belgian beer, and this one does not disappoint. Loaded with bready malt character and hints of banana. It’s the specialty yeasts that add complexity and spice here. Try with mussels or braised meats. Russell Brewing — Blood Alley Bitter Named after the infamous Vancouver alley, this ESB has just the right balance of traditional elements and Northwest zing. Strong citrus-hoppy character, bitter but balanced malty flavours and hints of orange rind on the finish. Can’t help but order up the fish ‘n’ chips or meat pies.
Hoyne Brewing — Pilsner Light in colour with the perfect balance of malty character and hop influence. Just a small step up in punch from its European cousins. A nice alternative to some of our Northwest monsters. Bring on the Schnitzel. Howe Sound — Devils Elbow IPA Hoppy and full flavoured with citrusy aromas this North American Style India Pale Ale is a favourite summer beer of mine. Love the one litre re-sealable bottle. This one has the guts to stand up to your favourite spicy dishes.

Q: I develop a dry cough in the Fall. Can TCM help me? A: BothAcupuncture and Chinese herbs usually give very good results in the treatment of a cough.The acute cough is quicker and easier to treat since the problem is still at a superficial level. Chronic coughs may take longer since they often involve Phlegm and/or Heat. InTCM, acute coughs are originally due to invasion by externalWind. Life style adjustments such as wearing a protective hat and scarf whenever the weather is windy, cold, cool, or wet is very important.Autumn is particularly difficult for the lungs since some of the bodyYin (fluid) goes deeper into the body, leaving the lungs and skin drier.Whenever the lungs get dry for any reason, such as from heat of smoking, desert environments, spicy food and drink, or a preexisting hot condition such as pneumonia, there will be a dry cough.The herbs and acupuncture are great to stop the heat and lubricate the lungs in order to restoreYin/Yang balance and recover to better health.

Q:
When is the right time to consider homecare for my loved one? • Reduced attention to personal appearance or to the upkeep of their home • A decreased attention to food safety (using foods beyond expiry dates, etc.) • Forgetfulness – missing meals or medications, forgetting to pay bills • Depression, avoiding social events or contact with others. In addition to being aware of a loved one needing more care, it is critical that family and friends be aware if they themselves or other family caregivers are showing the signs of emotional or physical exhaustion of providing that care. That is where We Care is available to provide whatever support is needed for the whole family – anything from a few hours a month to relieve a family caregiver, to daily care for families that require greater support.

Q:
What are some easy, affordable ways to decorate my home for Fall? The art to decorating for Fall is layering in natural accessories to create a feeling of warmth and coziness. Change your lighter throws to heavier knits or faux fur. Add in additional candles throughout your home for extra ambience. Alternatively, if you love the ambience of candles but fear the safety issues, we carry battery operated candles with a built in timer for a no fuss, realistic look. If you use bowls as accessories, fill them with acorns, nuts, gourds, or pine cones for an earthly look. For vases, fill them with dried branches or slim birch poles for an effortless cabin feel. Change your toss cushions to this season’s hot color, rich royal blue or playfully layer in Canadian animals like the owl, beaver, moose or deer. If you’re bolder, mount a resin stag head above your fireplace for a modern yet west coast look. Looking for more inspiration? Visit our showroom for a visual feast!

take some effort initially but will eventually help you establish better postural awareness. Start by making a point to sit/stand tall so that your shoulders are stacked directly above your hips, remember to gently engage your abdominals. You must lengthen the back part of your neck, and keep your weight evenly distributed and not slouched to one side. Practice taking deep breaths into your abdominal region without allowing your shoulders move upwards. The more often you are aware of your posture and how you breathe the more likely to do it correctly.

What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
As Alzheimer’s disease advances, it affects different areas of the brain, resulting in changes in one’s abilities, memory, behaviour and personality. Why these proteins develop in the brain remains unknown. A few approved drugs are commonly prescribed to help delay or modify some of the behavioural symptoms, but there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease. There is hope: scientists all over the world have been making great strides over the past few decades and continue to offer promising results. Jennifer Wright, RN

The All-Season tire tread designs and compounds that are engineered to provide extended mileages and durability under the summer’s sun are less effective in winter’s freezing temperatures, and through snow and on ice. Specific winter tires deliver much better snow and ice performance than All-Season tires because their tread designs and tread compounds are engineered to master those conditions, while summer tires are engineered to deliver better handling in the rain and on dry roads. Why not have the best tires for each of the conditions you’ll encounter?

Life annuities could be the solution. A life annuity is an insurance contract that guarantees you an income for the rest of your life. In other words, in this day of increasing life expectancy, you could be getting a cheque even after your 100th birthday! You can design your contract to include survivorship benefits for your spouse and/or guarantees to your estate should you die prematurely. Although insurance companies in Canada are generally solid, Assuris guarantees $2,000 of monthly annuity income, or 85% of the benefit; whichever is higher. Annuity rates can vary widely from one company to the next, so we make it a practise to survey the market for our clients to find the best income.

Q:
I wash my face several times a day. Why do I still get acne?
A:
Caroline Crochet
There is a common misconception that acne is entirely caused by dirty skin. The truth is, there are a number of factors that contribute to breakouts, like hormones, excess oil secretions, the build up of dead skin cells and the presence of acne-causing bacteria. Over cleansing, using scrubs that are too abrasive and products containing alcohol can irritate the skin further and worsen the condition. Look for gentle, non-comedogenic products with ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Sulfur or Rosemary essential oil. Together with a Certified Aesthetician, a full home care regimen and monthly treatment plan can be put in place in order to help treat your skin.

B-vent fireplace want to change to a direct vent fireplace because a direct vent is up to 70% efficient when running, with no heat loss when not running because it is a sealed unit, so no draft. But previously to do so meant replacing venting through the roof, or putting a hole in the outside of the building; not possible in an apartment. Now we have the new ABR19 (Apartment B-vent Replacement) direct vent fireplace.We can remove that old B-vent and replace it with a new, modern, efficient direct vent fireplace and use the existing venting. No need to tear out the old vent, no holes in the building and most importantly no trouble with strata!

With kids going back to school and flu season just around the corner, even those of us who are healthy are prone to getting sick. In fact, some of us might already be taking vitamin C to boost out immune system. Sometimes though, taking Vitamin C just isn’t enough, especially for those who might have a weaker immune system due to a medical condition or medications that we are taking. With this in mind, I recommend the following immune boosters to help you stay healthy year round. Foremost, I recommend oil of oregano, 4 drops each day. Although it can be foul tasting, this oil has antimicrobial effects that can help ward off the cold or even minimize the duration of a cold. I generally recommend Orange Naturals Oil of Oregano because it has a higher carvacrol content, the active component of the oil. If you are looking for an all-in-one, I recommend CanPrev Immuni-Multi, an advanced multivitamin and immune booster in one. It uses extracts from grape seed, green tea, red wine, as well as anti-oxidants such as alpha lipoic acid, quercetin, and N-acetylcysteine to boost the immune system. Lastly, don’t forget about getting your flu shot this fall. Contact us today to learn more about natural health and flu vaccinations.

Q: Do I Need Business Interruption Coverage A: The majority of businesses operating do need this insurance, if you are running a business that is manufacturing, retail or based on specialized equipment that is not easily
moved, then this coverage is almost more important than any other you can buy. Without it and there is a loss that shuts down the business, obviously the income stops. The right form of insurance pays for the income of the business, the fixed, semi-fixed expenses and salaries. In this competitive market where cash flow is typically tight and customers can not find the product or service they need they will need to go elsewhere. Also just because a business is not operating it does not mean expenses halt; mortgages, taxes, payroll and loans still need to be paid. It is this scenario where many businesses that suffer a shut down even for a short period of time go bankrupt, business interruption coverage fixes this, in many business claims one of the first people who are called are the accountants in order help re-establish cash flow. Call us to discuss important coverage.

YES! We work mainly with twin parents and have many helpful suggestions. Try to set up a feeding area with your newborn that includes: a bouncy chair (on the floor), burp cloths, snacks & drinks for yourself. Always plan to feed the babies back to back and start with the fussier baby first. Once the first baby has finished, set them in the bouncy chair while you feed the next baby. Having a baby in an upright position for 10-15 minutes helps with digestion, causing less gas later on. If you’re nursing, we recommend feeding one baby to start for the first 2 weeks; then when things settle down you can start tandem feeds (feeding both babies together). At nighttime, have one person do the feeds for the first part of the night (e.g. 8pm to 1am) then have the other parent take over from 1am, so both parents have a good stretch of rest through the night.
When more than one person is involved in purchasing a property, there are two ways to register ownership, one as “Joint Tenants”, and two as “Tenants-In-Common”. A joint tenant enjoys what’s called the “right of survivorship”, that is, when one joint tenant dies, his or her share goes to the remaining or surviving joint tenant(s). The final survivor takes sole title to the property. Tenants-in common do not enjoy the “right of survivorship”. Each tenant-in common may dispose of his or her share separately; it may be transferred to another person or left to his or her heirs upon death. A husband and wife usually wish to be registered as joint tenants when buying property. If one dies, the title to the property will revert to the survivor, following filing of a Death Certificate and other documentation.

Hans Podzun Notary Public #630-4400 Hazelbridge Way, (Fairchild Square) Richmond
A:
If you have your teeth extracted and wait for 3 months you will still continue to have bone and tissue/gum changes for at least nine more months. It takes bone twelve months to heal and mature. When you have a denture immediately placed at the time of extraction it acts as a Band-Aid for the wound site. The immediate denture also shapes your bone and gums to an ideal rounded shape as the healing progresses. Both treatment options still require twelve months of follow-up to keep pace with the physiological changes occurring. Temporary liners are used to keep the denture fitting well throughout the healing process. If you extract you teeth and wait, you will have sharp boney socket areas that will have to be remodeled in order to wear a denture comfortably. At times, this may be considerably more uncomfortable than if you had placed the denture immediately because you are dealing with prematurely healing bone that must be rounded out. Both methods will require a final reline at fourteen months to replace the stratified layers of temporary liners. If you have any questions regarding this or any other dental related question, please do not hesitate to call and make an appointment with our office. There is no charge for the consultation.

Q: What do I need to include in my in-car emergency kit? A: 1. Spare coolant, oil and windshield-washer fluid. 2. A fully-charged mobile phone. Failing that, a charger that works off your cigarette lighter. 3. A torch – handy if you break down to alert a passer’s by. 4. Jumper cables to kick start the battery should it ever flat line. 5. An ice scraper – crucial for clearing the windscreen and windows in winter. 6. A portable air compressor – an easy-to-use, compact tool that can reinflate a slow-leaking tire, very quickly. 7. Duct tape can act as a quick fix for just about anything. 8. Stay hydrated by keeping spare bottles of water on hand. 9. Stay warm, waterproof clothing and boots. A warm jacket may prove indispensable. 10. In winter, the interior of your car is often colder than the exterior. Broken down, a lit candle (in a safe container) will raise the temperature by a few vital degrees.

Nowadays most businesses have a website and the website has a domain name.A domain name is the unique name that appears in the URL of your business website. Many businesses fail to recognize that using the domain name in their email address helps to market/brand their company. In your day to day life, you use email regularly. Using an email address that contains your domain name gives people an opportunity to recognize the company you belong to. If your company website is 123cleaningco.com, your email should not be 123cleaning@hotmail.com – it should be jdoe@123cleaningco.com . In addition, your email should always be set up with a signature that identifies you and your business with links to your website and social networking profiles.These small changes will benefit overall marketing/branding of your business.

You may have noticed crack lines around teeth with old fillings or even in teeth that have never had a dental filling. Contributing factors to cracks in teeth can be trauma from a blow, heavy chewing/clenching forces, or type of existing filling material present in a tooth. Depending upon the depth and length of the crack in a particular tooth, there are different outcomes. A superficial crack in the outer enamel of a tooth is often called a craze line and can be monitored without issue for an extended period. However, if the depth of the crack extends deeper into the enamel and dentin layers of a tooth, then it is prudent to consider a restoration that eliminates the crack in the tooth. Much like a glass chip on the windshield of a car, a crack can propagate unless it is eliminated. The extent of the crack in a tooth determines the solution, which may include doing nothing, placing a filling/crown, having root canal treatment in the tooth, or possibly even extracting the tooth. Some types of tooth cracks are difficult to detect on x-rays and are diagnosed only by symptoms such as chewing pain.

I want to hire a professional dog walker and am wondering if group dog walks are good for my dog?
and wolves are pack animals.All dogs,even the tiny toy breeds,have an inherent,hard wired need to get up and walk in a pack every day just as wolves do every day.Hiring a professional dog walker who walks dogs in small groups or packs is one of the very best ways you can give your dog the physical and mental exercise he/she needs to be healthy and happy.Pack walks are a necessary key part of making sure your dog is properly socialized too.A dog who is not properly socialized usually develops undesired behaviours such as excessive barking at other dogs,biting or nipping other dogs etc.These behaviours are not a sign that you should keep your dog away from other dogs!These are signs that your dog needs to be socialized and there is no better way to accomplish this than pack walking with a professional dog walker who knows how to help your pooch become a balanced member of a dog pack.

Q: What does Home Staging cost? A: Always a key question, however a little challenging to provide a fast answer, as each home is different in many ways. Stagers often use the clients existing furnishings
whenever possible to keep costs down. In other cases, rentals are brought in, such as furniture, artwork and accessories. Ideally you should aim to work with a trained and experienced Stager… they can provide a quote or proposal after viewing the property first hand. Staging design investment, rentals & movers (if needed) and applicable taxes are calculated. Selling your biggest asset is not the time to look for the cheapest solution. The overall goal is for the home to be showcased at its best, in order to sell as quickly and for the most money as possible. Keep in mind… staging your home isVERY often less than the average price reduction!

Take your time and look around. It really depends on how comfortable you are in making a smart and informed decision. If you are not very car savvy I would suggest that you discuss it with someone who is or if you have a good relationship with your repair center, then ask for input from them. I would advise you to be sure to have the vehicle checked over by a shop that you trust BEFORE you make a purchase. Finding out about problems afterwards can be very disappointing and expensive!

the amount of the payments might be the same, a semi monthly payment frequency will be taken 2x a month (usually the 15th and the 30th) and really does not have anat interest savings to your mortgage. A bi-weekly payment is paid every 2 weeks and in the case of a 25 year amortization paying every 2 weeks san take up to 4 years off you mortgage. Many smart home owners will match their biweekly payments with their payroll dates ensuring that the funds are there come mortgage payment time!

Hall of fame football coach not done yet After long career with Steveston Packers, Ian Anderson returns to sidelines with Lord Tweedsmuir program BY M ARK B OOTH
mbooth@richmond-news.com
Ian Anderson’s contribution to the development of the game at the high school level has landed him in the B.C. Football Hall of Fame and at 71 he is not done yet. Anderson was recognized for his tireless efforts as one of 16 inductees. The class of 2013 also includes the likes of former B.C. Lion greats Willie Fleming and Tom Brown. Anderson enjoyed a weekend celebration that included being recognized at the Lions/Alouettes game last Sunday before turning his attention back to his football duties as an assistant coach with the Lord Tweedsmuir junior varsity team. After a 25-year run overseeing the program at Steveston secondary school, Anderson believed he had walked away from the game for good. However, the passing off his wife less than two years ago created a void. He called up his longtime friend Matt Phillips who immediately offered him a position with the Tweedsmuir program. The Panthers coaching staff also features Doug Staveley — making it three major contributors to the rich history of Steveston Packers football before the program folded. “I’m having a blast,” laughed Anderson about his almost daily trek out to the Cloverdale school. “I don’t know how many years I can keep doing it but right now I’m really enjoying it.” Anderson’s induction also recognized his work with the B.C. Football Officials Association where he served as president and was instrumental in attracting many former players and coaches
to be involved. He too officiated games until the juggling act became too great when he took on the head coaching duties at Steveston. He was front and center in what was considered one of the greatest rivalries in the history of B.C. High School Football. When the Packers met the Richmond Colts in the annual Jim Jordan Trophy rivalry game, the town came to a standstill with typically 2,000 fans packed around the field. “You could win every other game but lose that one and your season was pretty much considered a disappointment,” said Anderson. “It was a wonderful just being part of it. So many great memories.” Football had become such a way a life at the school that one year over 80 students came out for tryouts. Anderson alway had a no cut policy and rounded up enough alumni players to serve as coaches and ran two teams that season. He guided four Packer teams to provincial finals during his tenure but unfortunately came up short in the bi game each time. That hardly dampened his enthusiam for the game and Anderson takes pride in the number of his players who went on to play in the CFL. The list includes Randy Graham, Al Chorney, Hal Lund, Mike Emery, Mark Napiorkowski and Pat Cantner. “I was there for so long that I basically become a part of the woodwork at the school,” chuckled Anderson who taught everything from PE to business during his tenure. “We had a wonderful administration that really supported the program and had a big part in its success.”

Sockeyes blank North Vancouver to hit win column
The Richmond Sockeyes have hit the win column and they didn’t have to work an extra period to do it. After opening the Pacific International Junior Hockey League regular season with three straight overtime games that didn’t yield a win, the Sockeyes rode the 27-save performance of veteran goalie Kootenay Alder to a 3-0 road victory over the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Saturday night. Michael Scoble’s goal with just two seconds remaining in the opening period was
all the Sockeyes would need. Carson Rose and Ayden McDonald added insurance tallies 1:04 apart in the middle stanza. Two nights earlier, Richmond played to its second tie of the season — this time drawing 4-4 on home ice against the North Delta Devils. The hosts looked to be in full control thanks to three unanswered goals in the second period from Matthew Bissett, Daniel Tait and Scoble to open up a 4-2 advantage. However, the Devils pulled even
in the third thanks to a pair of goals from Tristan Craighead, including the equalizer with just 1:13 remaining. The Sockeyes outshot North Delta 48-22 on the night. Richmond returns to action Thursday when the Port Moody Panthers visit Minoru Arena at 7 p.m. Icing… Former Sockeye and Richmond Minor product Braydon Low had a pair of assists as the Everett Silvertips opened the
Western Hockey League regular season with an 8-3 win over Prince George on Saturday. The 19-year-old centre had six points, including a pair of goals, in 43 games last season. The Silvertips line-up also features former Seafair standout Tyler Sandhu who chipped in with a goal in the opener. The 17-year-old is coming off an impressive rookie campaign that saw him score 19 goals.

Steveston Seafood House
3951 Moncton St., Richmond
Steveston Seafood House’s motto “welcome home” is certainly a fitting one for the west coast-style restaurant that has been operating in the Village for over 30 years. Shane Dagan has owned Steveston Seafood House for the last six years, but has been working there for much longer than that. “I’ve pretty much done everything — busboy, waiter, bar manager,” said Dagan, who lives only a two-minute walk away. He still gets excited when talking about his restaurant that has been voted Richmond’s “Best Seafood Restaurant” 12 years in a row, and said they are introducing their fall-inspired four course feature. “The entrees consist of cedar plank salmon, fresh lingcod, pork medallions and a rib eye steak.”
Features like these are offered once a season, and Dagan said just because winter is approaching doesn’t mean the seafood isn’t fresh. “In the old days, people would go out to sea and bring back the fish a week later, and whatever wasn’t sold they would freeze it. Now guys go out on the vessel and freeze them right away, so you’re really getting a superior product,” he said. Three of the most popular items on the menu include smoked Alaskan black cod that is basted in whole milk and served with pineapple mango salsa; schnitzel Richmond made from breaded veal topped with asparagus, crab, shrimp and béarnaise sauce; and their wild Pacific salmon that is baked with a white wine dill crème fraîche and garnished with Pacific shrimp. Dagan added that his establishment “looks like a new restaurant” after completing renovations about four months ago. The general layout has been revised with the addition of two large 10-foot fireplaces and new lighting. “It was just time for a change,” he said, in reference to the completely new decor. The Steveston Seafood House opens for dinner at 5:30 p.m. For prices and contact information visit www.stevestonseafoodhouse.com.
