! For the past seven years, it has been one thing to drive by Steveston High and talk about the myriad of consequences from its closure, but to finally see its bricks and mortar vanish is certainly another. Pictured is long-time Steveston Secondary music teacher Len Kay sounding a dignified Last Post before the gymnasium and music and drama rooms meet their fate. ‘Beyond the daily classes, many events were held herein, where students, faculty, staff, alumni, community, and special guests assembled to enjoy, to celebrate, to contemplate, and to honour the gamut of scholastic endeavours and achievements,’ Kay told the Richmond News. Kay noted past principal Bob Carkner’s annual Remembrance Day address: ‘Here and now we honour the past, engage the present, and build the future.’ The future of the site is a 133unit townhouse development.

More demolitions than ever Day: ‘If I was a builder, I would be fast-tracking anything, too’ Graeme Wood
Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com
J
uly was a record-breaking month for single-family home demolitions in Richmond, and at least two city councillors are split on why that may be. Coun. Carol Day said she is sure the spike in demolitions is a result of a delay in a decision to amend residential zoning bylaws, as well as the lengthy — and now highly publicized — process to terminate land-use contracts. “I knew this was going to happen. Everyone said, ‘Oh no, we won’t see a spike.’ So this next six months is critical,” said Day, referring to the early termination process for the old, provincial contracts which allow larger homes on smaller lots relative to what the city’s residential zoning bylaws dictate.
Day also said the delay to amend those bylaws, in order to implement greater setbacks and more limitations to the volume of newly built homes, is another reason for the spike. “If I was a builder, I would be fast-tracking anything, too,” she said. In July developers/builders were given the green light by the City of Richmond 65 times to demolish a single-family home. The number marks a monthly record since 2006, when the data began to be posted online by the city. Since January 2009 — the last time zoning bylaws changed (to allow higher homes) — the monthly average has been 29. As well, 2015 is on pace to be a record year for home demolitions. So far, 287 homes have met their fate. If the trend continues, 492 will be torn down by January. The annual average since 2009 is 351 homes. In 2011, 473 homes were demolished.
If Day is correct about the push to build more, the city may be looking at an even greater rush of development in single-family neighbourhoods granted the process to fully extinguish land-use contracts on 4,000-plus homes could take one to two years, according to deputy city manager Joe Erceg, who has noted there will likely be appeals. A decision to amend the city’s residential zoning bylaws may be completed as early as late September following a Sept. 8 public hearing on tentatively approved changes to home setbacks (space between homes and property lines). The hearing takes place at Richmond City Hall and the public is welcome to comment on city council’s decision in July, which saw a 7-2 vote against the recommendations of city planners, who sought to limit ceiling heights and setbacks in a greater manner.

Failed candidate defends CV Yuan’s campaign says resume issue a ‘red herring’ GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
A
fter the Vancouver Sun reported Wendy Yuan had incorrectly claimed she received a graduate degree in international management from a U.S. university, the former Liberal Party of Canada candidate and recently failed nominee for the Steveston-Richmond East riding continues to allege wrongdoings within the party. According to the Sun, a spokesperson for Bradley University in Illinois said Yuan only received a master of arts degree and in 2015. Yuan told the Sun she was unaware that her degree was not completed, although she provided photos from a 1987 graduation ceremony. A clerical error is said to be the problem, said Yuan, who recently wrote an essay to complete the “in-progress” degree. Furthermore, her claim that she has a degree in international management on online profiles, such as LinkedIn, was a result of a translation error by her campaign biography writer, she told the Sun. Party spokesperson Olivier Duchesneau would not tell the Sun or the News the specific reason for Yuan being disqualified.

members only to be sidelined by former MP Raymond Chan. Pictured with her is Michael Hillman, who resigned his post as membership chair for the Liberal Party of Canada in B.C. Photo submitted
He said the party is scrutinizing candidates more than in the past. As such, that could be the reason why Yuan passed the nomination process in 2008 and 2011 when she ran as a candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway and why she was subsequently denied this time around. Nevertheless, Yuan continues to charge that former Richmond Member of Parliament Raymond Chan has been acting like a “kingmaker,” by meddling in the supposedly open and transparent nomination process of the Liberal Party. Her lawyer, Gary Matson, told media the allegations of resume misrepresentation “are being used as a red herring to mask the real undisclosed reason for the rejection of her candidacy application.” On Saturday, Yuan, an exporter by profession, spoke to a group of Chinese media upon request. She said she raised issues with internal party fundraising and there is reference online at SingTao.ca to Richmond developer !

Interpol for grafting and corruption charges in China. Ching was photographed at a Canada Asia Pacific Business Association event with city councillors, as well as Yuan, former party leader Michael Ignatieff and newly acclaimed Steveston-Richmond East candidate Joe Peschisolido. The News had previously asked Yuan if her fundraising concerns were related to funds linked to the Communist Party of China, but she did not confirm or deny the question, instead stating it may be a matter for investigative reporters.
‘Blues’ miss first debate
Most local candidates for the federal election in Richmond attended a small debate at St. Alban’s drop-in centre Saturday evening. Conservative candidates, MP Alice Wong, for Richmond Centre, and Kenny Chiu, for Steveston-Richmond East, did not attend the meeting. All the candidates for the Greens, Liberals and New Democrats did, however, attend the meeting. The Richmond News asked Chiu why he did not attend. Chiu said he was too busy to respond, so Conservative campaign manager Bert Chen called the News back and said the candidates were at a private function that was scheduled before the St. Alban’s invitation. The News was unable to attend the event, as well. The full slate of candidates for represented parties in Richmond is complete, save for a Steveston-Richmond East Green member.

RCMP seize fentanyllaced drugs
Richmond RCMP announced the seizure of over 1,000 illegal drug pills believed to contain fentanyl, according to the Richmond RCMP. “The pills, green in colour, with the markings ‘CDN’ and ‘80,’ resemble the pain medication OxyContin, but are believed to contain fentanyl. A sample of the tablets was sent to the forensic laboratory for testing. The investigation is ongoing,” stated a police news release. The pills were seized on Aug. 12, shortly after 1 a.m. by two patrol officers conducting a ! Part of the drugs the RCMP traffic stop in a City Centre managed to seize last week. neigbourhood. The pills Photo submitted were stashed in a hidden compartment of a 2015 jeep Cherokee, according to Cpl. Dennis Hwang. Arrested was a 23-year-old male from Surrey. “Our patrol officers have been very proactive. It illustrates that traffic stops are far from being routine. We are extremely concerned that fentanyl is being discovered in our community,” said Hwang. Fentanyl, a synthetic opiate, has been linked to a number of overdoses in Vancouver and across Canada. Other hard street drugs are being “cut,” or mixed with fentanyl, resulting in adverse effects, such as permanent brain damage. Early signs of overdose include trouble breathing, slow heartbeat, trouble walking and talking as well as severe sleepiness. “The risk involved in taking fentanyl is very real. We take this opportunity to remind users of illicit drugs that should they choose to use, don’t use alone and start with a small amount,” he added.
Shots fired in road rage
A road rage incident in Richmond Monday evening resulted in shots being fired in broad daylight near the corner of Westminster Highway and Garden City Road. “At this point, we believe that the shooting was initiated by a driving altercation, and it appears to have been taken to the extreme. We are following up on a number of leads and going through surveillance footage. We are working with our law enforcement partners to see if there are connections to other recent shootings. We are extremely thankful that no one was injured,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang of the Richmond RCMP. Hwang said shortly after 8:30 p.m. police responded to the vicinity of the intersection and found a 22-yearold male in a white, late-model Toyota Corolla. He was uninjured, however at least one bullet was found inside the driver’s vehicle, said Hwang. Fleeing the scene was a suspect driving a dark-coloured sedan travelling northbound on Garden City at a “high rate of speed,” said Hwang. If you have any information on this crime, Hwang is asking you to contact Const. Perera at 604-278-1212. To leave a tip on this crime, email Richmond_Tips@rcmpgrc.gc.ca or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). — Graeme Wood

His alleged actions have affected many people in Richmond. “What was particularly troubling was that people were at home when the burglaries occurred,” said Cpl. Simon Lee of the Richmond RCMP Property Crime Unit. “That factor alone, speaks volumes to the brazen nature of the crimes.” — Graeme Wood

Richmond man at the centre of a locally-based, affordable housing society is the subject of a fraud hearing conducted by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC). The commission alleges Tin Chao Alan Lau, a founder and the chair of the board of directors of a non-profit seniors’ centre based in Richmond called Canadian Low Income Seniors Affordable Housing Society, persuaded a volunteer at the seniors’ centre to invest $50,000 in the centre through him. According to a press release from the commission, Lau allegedly told the volunteer that if he invested $50,000 he would receive five per cent annual interest, payable monthly. The investor agreed to the investment based on Lau’s assurances that he would earn a higher interest rate with the investment over the bank, and that the investor could easily withdraw the money. The commission also alleges Lau instructed the investor to purchase a $50,000 bank draft payable to Lau, which he deposited into his personal bank account. Lau then allegedly spent the money

on personal expenses such as MasterCard payments, cash withdrawals, and cheque payments. When the investor requested the investment funds returned, commission staff maintain that Lau said he used the $50,000 to purchase groceries to sell in the seniors’ centre and could not repay the funds until the groceries sold. A hearing into the matter is scheduled for Sept. 8.

factors to the spike. “It’s an assumption, but I think there’s a bunch of people trying to push things through,” he said. However, “with the market where it’s at — and I don’t have the stats before me to back this up — it’s probably been the highest it’s been for some time.” The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver recently reported an 11 per cent rise in home prices in July. Homebuilder Ivan Krpan added the spike is a result of the market and added the proposed changes to residential zoning bylaws are minor. “There are few lots available in the market right now,” said Krpan, noting builders are earnestly seeking old homes for rebuilds.

DFO suspends salmon fishing peratures in the Fraser River have resulted in no allowable harvest and a conservation concern. The department’s priorities are to ensure that there is sufficient sockeye returning to the spawning grounds.”
GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
F
isheries and Oceans Canada has suspended all salmon fishing at the mouth of the Fraser River due to a sharp climb in water temperature, as well as a below-average discharge, which have resulted in “concerning” fish counts. The ban applies to all commercial, recreational and First Nations fisheries. The Fraser River Panel, the DFO group responsible for in-season salmon run assessments, stated Friday its early season estimate of 4.8 million summer sockeye would have to be downgraded to about 1.2 million. It concluded the decline is a result of ocean and river conditions. Salmon thrive in cool waters. DFO has reported irregular sea surface temperatures — up to three degrees higher than normal in some places — over the past year. “This ‘warm blob’ is likely affecting adult salmon growth and migration behaviour in the ocean,” a report stated. Last week, DFO reported river temperatures 1.8 degrees Celsius above average — or 19.8 degrees Celsius. A temperature of 20 degrees is said to be associated with high pre-spawn mortality and disease. Concurrently, the river’s discharge was 30 per cent below average. DFO stated it was too early to assess the Fraser River pink salmon run. As a result, DFO stated “current run size estimates of Fraser River Summer Run sockeye salmon combined with record water tem-

The warning is in response to an ongoing outbreak of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection related to consumption of raw oysters harvested in B.C. “Vibrio parahaemolyticus thrive in warmer waters, and reports of illness generally increase in the summer months. This year, however, reports are high enough to warrant additional prevention measures,” stated VCH in a news release. The health authority (Vancouver, Richmond, north Shore and Sunshine Coast) stated 31 cases have been reported to date, whereas last year, by the end of August, just 16 cases were reported. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, 48 cases have been reported province-wide. The agency noted the overall risk to Canadians is “low,” and illnesses can be avoided if shellfish are cooked before being eaten. Notably, the VCH warning does not apply to oysters harvested outside the province. Symptoms of Vibrio parahaemolyticus include watery diarrhea, cramps, vomiting and fever, all of which can last up to a week.

Village disappearing before our very eyes Dear Editor, Re: Ray Arnold’s “Protect the Mom and Pop Shops,” Letters, Aug. 14. Arnold has hit the nail right on its head. This has happened to the Dunbar and W 10th Avenue areas in Vancouver. These streets used to be lined with Mom and Pop shops. These quaint shops contributed to the charm and character of these streets. Parts of these streets have now transformed into something that Mr. Arnold describes as sterile and generic. If the west end of Moncton Street and side streets get transformed into what Arnold fears it would be, aside from the museums and the fisherman’s wharf in the village, what else would draw domestic and foreign tourists to the village? Weeks ago, as my husband and I were walking along Moncton Street, we thought that we should have taken photographs of the village when we first moved here to make an album on our Facebook page titled, The Disappearing Village. Has anyone been to Edison in Washington State? It is a marvel that the town has retained it’s agricultural small town character and the community is proud of it. I was not born, nor did I grow up in Steveston, but I do share the sentiments of people like Arnold. Lilian Tiro Richmond
Roads littered with poor drivers Dear Editor, To put it simply, I am concerned about the poor driving practices I observe on a daily basis and the frequency at which they occur. Countless times I notice drivers changing lanes, or turning without signaling. And whatever happened to pedestrians having the right-of-way at crosswalks? Outside my school is a marked crossing, and just the other day a female driver decided to not even look at all the students waiting to cross the street. She just rolled on past. I do not always feel safe when I’m walking around the city because of the terrible level of skill many drivers in this area seem to possess. Does ICBC need to further increase the difficulty
of getting a licence? Do we need more police officers booking people for traffic-related offences? Or would increasing the severity of the fines/ penalties per driving infraction convince people to take better care when driving to protect themselves and those around them. I’m curious to know how many other people out there have noticed the poor driving, and any thoughts you might have on how we might improve the system? It should not have to take multiple injuries or deaths for a crackdown on poor driving to take place. Vishan Hettiarachchi Richmond
Looking for an ‘angel’ Dear Editor, A beautiful Sunday afternoon picnic turned into a nightmare. I was among friends and their church family enjoying a potluck picnic at South Arm Pool Park. Children and young parents were having a great time in the playground. After the picnic, half of us decided to go for a leisurely stroll around the green, lush haven of South Arm. I did not bring a purse to the party, only a big picnic bag to carry my food, etc. So, before I left the scene, I quickly grabbed a clean plastic bag to carry my car keys, licence purse, and phone — personal items I felt not to leave behind. Upon returning from the walk, I was looking for my Mercedez Benz car key. Immediately, I discovered a small tear at the bottom of the plastic bag. I remained calm and hopeful because it was still daylight. Without further delay, along with two friends, we began to retrace our footsteps. But it was in vain. I was still hopeful because the
key’s long, shining silver chain with the logo could be easily noticed on the lawn, and a guardian angel may have picked it up. The next morning, Monday, relentlessly, I went around again, this time with my husband in search of my treasured key. Not a sight. I asked a few early walkers, very politely, to do the same. I asked at the swimming pool’s front desk and at the South Arm Community Centre — no keys were turned in. So, I left my contact numbers with the two places. By lunch time, I got a call from Matt at the community centre, who said, a young lady had dropped off my key. No contact number was left. Whew! What joy I felt. Indeed an angel in the park, she was! An answer to all our prayers. A 17-hour nightmare ended with that call. I would sincerely like to reward you, angel in the park, if you could please contact the Richmond News (604-270-8031) for my cell number. Lilian Teh Richmond
Don’t forget to stop Dear Editor, The corner of No. 2 Road (southbound as seen above) at Moncton Street. This is a very busy intersection. The City of Richmond just installed trees in front of the stop sign. It’s just waiting for someone to go through and hit someone. Michel Marien Richmond

VOICES on the Ledge
Leadership lacking in Epic IT failures a never-ending story quest to be ‘green’ KEITHBALDREY
Dear Editor, The effects of climate change are evident all around us. This year’s temperature is considerably higher than previous years. Certain parts of B.C. are even at Stage 4 water restrictions right now. Not only has the excessive dryness caused droughts, it has also made the forests more susceptible to fires. People living in the cities don’t usually experience the aftermath of forest fires, but this year, Richmond and the whole Lower Mainland had air quality advisories due to the smoke. This is just one of the more blatant examples our carelessness, a carelessness which ultimately harms us. What more do we need to see to actually change our lifestyle? We often lie to ourselves, thinking about how “my small actions won’t make a big difference to the overall effect of global warming.” Or, maybe we’re just reluctant to change the way we live because of our laziness and our desire for convenience. I admit that I am part of the latter; I’m not always doing things that will benefit the environment. However, I believe if we want more people to care about the planet, we need the government to set the example. Unlike what the current government leader has been doing, we need a leader who will implement and enforce changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and use more sustainable energy sources. The federal elections are coming up. As a high school student, I might not have the ability to vote, but I do have the ability to voice out my concerns. I’m hoping the party that will run this country in the years to come will successfully decrease climate change and set the example of environmental stewardship for other countries to follow.

ust what is it with the B.C. government when it comes to expensive computer problems? The latest sorry chapter in this seemingly never-ending story was recently uncovered by Carol Bellringer, B.C.’s crack, new independent auditor-general. And this one is a doozy: a computer system that is five years late, 420 per cent over budget and is so inefficient and possibly even outdated that it requires an extra $14 million in annual maintenance. Bellringer (isn’t that a good name for a watchdog?) and her team audited the Panorama computer system and uncovered a horror-show of cost overruns and errors. As well, they cited a lack of leadership within the ministry and a defensive mindset that shuts out criticism. Operated within the health ministry, Panorama is supposed to manage infectious diseases across the country. The idea for it arose after the SARS epidemic in 2003 that killed 44 people. B.C.’s stellar reputation when it came to public health care meant it was chosen to lead the program’s implementation. Five years after it began, the implementation is still not complete and B.C. taxpayers are on the hook so far for $113 million and that figure continues to rise. Perhaps even more alarming is the fact that Bellringer discovered that when the IT company in question (IBM) failed

COMMUNITY in Focus Pup overcomes fears through agility training school CHRISTOPHERSUN Contributor
W
hen Elizabeth Dung got her first puppy she learned quickly that Jojo, a Cockerpoo, was born with some strange health and mental issues. The Cocker Spaniel mixed poodle starved himself unless coerced to eat, a leaf falling to the ground was enough to spook him, and he was nervous being around other dogs and people, preferring to hide from them. A puppy school instructor told Dung that she had a problematic puppy who would need a lot of work to get over his issues.
Shortly after learning about Jojo’s problems, Dung got a second dog, Kiki, a Maltipoo (Maltese mixed poodle). She hoped this would help Jojo become more social, but it didn’t work. After a year of attending obedience school, which also didn’t help Jojo’s condition, the instructor recommended they do agility training to build his confidence. That was 10 years ago and since then Jojo has won three BC/Yukon Dog Agility Regional Championships. “I didn’t think I would ever be doing this,” Dung said. “In the beginning, I just wanted him to eat and not be so scared; that was the original idea.” Once a form of entertainment, agility started in the 1970s at the Crufts dog show in England. It soon grew into a competitive, timed sport which involves a dog going throughw See Course page 13

Course: Easily 20 obstacles Pirate Pak Day raises $92,358 From page 12 an obstacle course, taking direction from their owner. Dog agility was introduced into Canada in 1988. The obstacle course involves jumping through a suspended tire, running through tunnels, on planks and see-saws. A course can easily have 20 or more obstacles and a whole circuit should take less than a minute. There are different categories, based on the size and age of the dog and obstacles are adjusted for those variations. “There are some super competitive people who take this seriously, but I’m not as competitive,” Dung said. “I do it because it’s a lot of fun.” Kiki, described as a “happy-go-lucky dog,” also competed and placed sixth in a national competition once. She suffered a disc injury last Christmas, not related to agility training, so she is now retired from the sport. Dung’s third dog, a two-year-old toy poodle named Brownie is also competing. “It’s so addictive,” Dung said about agility, adding that training and going to various workshops has cost her a small fortune. “In order to get that blue ribbon (first place), I spent thousands of dollars.”
! Elizabeth Dung and Jojo hope to win more ribbons this weekend at the national agility competition at Swanguard Stadium. Photos submitted.
“All agility people are broke,” Dung added with a laugh. Dung will compete with Jojo at the Agility Association of Canada National’s competition, to be held at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium from Aug. 19 to 23. More than 500 dogs will compete in the event which attracts participants from throughout Canada, United States and Europe. “It’s a growing sport and when people try it, they find out how fun it is so they continue on,” AAC spokesperson Sonya Bosecke said. “You’re challenging yourself and you’re challenging your dog.” Agility allows people to really connect with their dogs as it develops a stronger trust and bond between the two, Bosecke explained, allowing them to work together as a team. Admission to the AAC Nationals is free, but spectators are encouraged to bring a canned food donation for the food bank.
On Wednesday, Aug. 12, thousands of customers across B.C. and Alberta raised a record $92,358 for White Spot’s eighth annual Pirate Pak Day fundraiser. Both Richmond locations (Ackroyd and Richmond Centre) sold a total of 2,021 paks. For one day each year, youth and adults who are young-at-heart can purchase the iconic boat from Canada’s longest-running restaurant chain. The bounty raised helps send more than 60 children and young adults to Zajac Ranch in Mission, B.C. White Spot donated $2 from each Kids and Adult Pirate Pak sold — plus contributions received in lieu of Pirate Paks — to Zajac Ranch, a B.C. charity that gives children and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities an unforgettable camp experience.

Since the program began in 2008, White Spot has raised a total of $439,530, providing hundreds of young “mateys” with a meaningful camp experience. This year’s single-day event saw a record number of 46,179 Pirate Paks sold, with Langley (Willowbrook) at the helm selling the most ships. Every year, White Spot staff and enthusiastic customers dress up as modern day swashbucklers and adventurers of the sea, all in the name of charity and good-hearted fun. Photos of the event are available on the White Spot Facebook page or by searching #whitespot #PiratePakDay on Twitter & Instagram. “Every year, White Spot is overwhelmed by the support our community shows us on Pirate Pak Day.

Globe-trotting driver stops in Richmond PHILIPRAPHAEL Staff Reporter
Hetzer, 78, tours in a 1930 Hudson sedan
PRAPHAELRICHMONDNEWS.COM
A
n automotive celebrity rolled through Richmond last week. Stopping off for a few days in her around-the-world journey in a 1930 Hudson sedan was 78-year-old Heidi Hetzer. The Berlin resident who is a former rally car driver, Opel (GM) dealership owner, and all-round auto enthusiast has been on the road for nearly a year — she started in her hometown last Aug. 31. So far she has logged close to 50,000 km winding her way across Europe, most of Asia, and across to Australia and New Zealand. About a week ago, she made landfall in North America when her blue, vintage auto was shipped to Los Angeles to begin the section of the tour up the west coast from California. The journey is following in the tire tracks of another German auto adventurer — Clärenore Stinnes — who from 1927 to 1929 was the first woman to cross the globe by automobile. The feat in her Adler Standard 6 was in part to prove Germany made the best cars in the world. For Hetzler, who spent the previous 20 years rally driving her fleet of 16 vintage cars across the globe, it was also a way for her to remain busy in her retirement. “All my life I was an auto dealer. And my children said to me, ‘Mamma, what are you going to do if you don’t work?’” Hetzer said from her temporary digs in Richmond last Thursday. “No one wanted to take over the Opel dealership after my 45 years in the business, so I decided to sell the business and be like
the first German woman to drive around the world. The trouble is Clärenore Stinnes was in her 20s when she did it. I am a little bit older.” Age doesn’t seem to have deterred Hetzer in the least as she travels from town to town, often without a scripted plan of where to stop and sleep for the night — something that has had her bed down in the back of her Hudson on occasion when there hasn’t been an available hotel room or generous local to put her up. “I go wherever !

I don’t know. But I do plan on stopping in Cuba and then heading south to Peru. All I know is I want to see all five continents.” Parts of Africa were scratched from the itinerary early on because her Hudson is just a two-wheel drive and some of the roadways Hetzer expected to encounter there would have been too difficult to travel. Whatever route she decides on, Hetzer said she hopes to wrap up her global adventure with a return to Berlin in time for her 79th birthday next June 20. “People have been very kind,” Hetzer said. “They have been unbelievable, helping me out.”

businessProfile New book says secret to better health is you Dr. Raj Jheeta pens The Doctor of the Future is Here
I
t’s a new approach to personal healthcare, one that brings us a step closer to the future by drawing from the past, and it’s all spelled out in Richmond naturopathic doctor Raj Jheeta’s new book, The Doctor of the Future is Here. Armed with 27 years of clinical experience, Jheeta believes everyone has the power to control their own health, through eating the right foods, learning the types of foods to avoid, and managing stress, among other things. Jheeta’s book is themed around prevention being the best form of medicine, and urges people to take a more proactive role in their personal health. “Don’t be a willing victim in the healthcare system,” Jheeta said. Borrowing a quote from inventor Thomas Edison, Jheeta believes, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Jheeta said the role of the traditional medical doctor isn’t to teach people how to protect themselves from disease.
People turn to their doctor when something is already wrong, he said. Jheeta wants to change that mindset, and details precisely how everyone can do exactly that in his new book. Rather than look at how sick a person is, Jheeta’s approach is the opposite. Using the algorithm he developed, Jheeta determines how healthy a person is, by: • looking at their body composition; • testing for food sensitivity; • evaluating their adrenal system; • testing for toxic loading; • and gauging their wellness based on their age. By following his advice, Jheeta believes people can “drastically reduce” their risk of some of the most devastating disease trends of our time. And for those who chronically feel ill, Jheeta suggests they be tested for food allergies/sensitivities. Education is the key to prevention, he said. For more about Jheeta, or to book an appointment of an evaluation, visit RichmondNaturopathic.com. For more about his book, visit DrJheeta.com.

ARTS in the City Duo Matt and Kim headline Richmond World Fest PHILIPRAPHAEL Staff Reporter
PRAPHAELRICHMONDNEWS.COM
M
usic fans can expect to make a connection with the vibrant indie duo Matt and Kim at the Richmond World Festival Saturday, Sept. 5 in Minoru Park — but just don’t expect them to doff their duds. The two infamously stripped down to their birthday suits in a crowded, and chilly winter’s day in New York’s Times Square for a music video for their song Lessons Learned back in 2009. And while it earned them significant attention at the time, it’s their music and live show vibe which has kept and earned them new fans as they continue a habit of playing the festival circuit. The pair from Brooklyn were in Pemberton in mid-July for the Pemberton Music Festival, and Matt (Matt Johnson) said he and Kim (Kim Schfino) are looking forward to their first visit to Richmond and headlining a brand new event. “I do know people have different expectations if they’ve been to a festival before and are coming back again,” Johnson said in a telephone interview. “But it’s kinda cool that it’s (Richmond World Festival) fresh and new and we’re coming

in not knowing what to expect. So, I’m sure they’ll (crowd) knock it outta the park.” So, what will they see? Johnson said to expect a party going full tilt as he and Schfino spread their creative talents to encompass their playlist, which has something for everyone. “There’s some bands that I feel are really great, but you have to know all of their songs to really enjoy their live shows. Me and Kim are not that kind of band,” Johnson said. “I feel we do great in a festival setting, whether you know a song or two, nor any, I feel we’re always able to win a lot of people over.” And that can make them hard to pin down in terms of style. “We’re somewhere in the indie spectrum, but even that is so broad,” he said. “I love hearing people who are generally a fan of one type of music, even if it’s in an extreme area say, ‘I usually only like metal, but for some reason I really like you guys.” At the root, though, is a high-octane stage presence that is intentionally infectious. “We put out a certain type of energy that people seem to connect with,” he said. “I mean, Kim is usually standing on top of her kick drum, screaming as much as she’s playing it. Plus, we integrate little bits of cover songs. “Generally, we just try and activate the audience as much as possible.” Often, they get asked, with just two people in the band, how do they generate the type of vibe that gets their crowds going? “I say, it’s not just two people,” Johnson said. “At a festival it could be like 10,002 people. It’s about every person who’s there. And I’m one of only two people in the world who can’t see my band from the crowd’s perspective. But I can only know what people have told me. And the bottom line is me and Kim love doing it, and we show that. And people seem to connect to that.” And that feeling is reciprocal as they drive home the party atmosphere. “We try and bring as many balloons and as much confetti to make a mess,” he said laughing. “We try to make it as fun as we can.” Joining Matt and Kim on the bill will be Grammy/Juno award-winner, Alex Cuba whose smoky vocals and masterful guitarwork is said to cross genres and cultures.

Luckily, Borrie has emotion- not to move too fast.

Despite the heart-wrenching sadness of Alzheimer’s, Borrie is able to celebrate the small blessings; the moments of clarity, grace, humour and recognition her mother displays. As the disease progresses though, Borrie becomes overwhelmed by hopelessness, frustration, guilt and loneliness. In sharing the inescapably painful process of witnessing her mother slowly disappear before her eyes, Borrie gives strength to others. The message to caregivers is this: be at peace with what’s happening to your loved one, instead of trying to correct their words, direct their attention, or coax them back into your world. Follow, don’t lead. Look for pearls amid the dross. And don’t try to understand it, change it, or fight it. Just accept what is. By the end of the book I had tears streaming down my

Richmond athletes enjoy big medal haul Mark Booth

R
ichmond athletes did their part to help Team B.C. produce an impressive medal haul at the Western Canada Games in Wood Buffalo, Alberta. B.C. topped the medal standings to take home the Games’ aggregate trophy with 280 medals, including 134 gold. It’s proved to be quite the summer for softball players Sierra Sherritt and Jordan Britten-Yung. The pair helped the Delta ’97 Heat cap a dominant season by winning the U18A Nationals back east in convincing fashion, then immediately headed west to produce more golden memories with Team B.C. An impressive run on the diamond was capped by an 11-0 victory over Alberta in Sunday’s final. B.C. dropped just one game and beat its last three opponents by a combined score of 30-2. Sherritt will be continuing her career at SFU while Britten-Yung is part of the
Douglas College 2015 recruiting class. In men’s baseball, catcher Noah Or helped B.C. reach the top of the top of the podium with a 7-3 win over Saskatchewan in the gold medal game. B.C. won five of six games and avenged its only defeat with a 7-4 triumph over Alberta in the semi-finals. Or played this past season in the B.C. Premier Baseball League with the North Delta Blue Jays after coming through Richmond City Baseball. On the basketball court, 6-foot-8 post standout Fardaws Aimaq showed why the Steveston-London Sharks will likely be the team to beat in the city at the senior boys level next season after helping B.C. capture gold. An unbeaten run was capped by a hard-fought 66-60 win over Manitoba in the final. On the mats, Steveston Judo Club member Ario Nishimura continued his outstanding 2015 campaign by capturing a pair of gold medals. He dominated his 73-81 kilo division, winning ev■ Richmond’s Sierra Sherritt belts out a hit for Team B.C. in route to winning gold at the Western Canada Summer Games in Wood Buffalo.

Earlier this year, Nishimura won silver at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George and added a bronze at the U18 Nationals in Montreal. In rowing, James Houston also won a pair of gold as the St George’s student was a member of the B.C. eight and four crews that produced decisive victories in each race.

Rogers also added fourth place finishes in the shot put and discus events. In men’s soccer, Liam Robinson helped B.C. earn silver after a hard-fought 1-0
loss to Alberta in the final. Robinson played this past season for U16 Surrey United of the B.C. Premier Soccer League. On the links, standout Alisha Lau continued her busy summer golf schedule by earning bronze in individual stroke play as B.C. swept the medal positions. The Burnett secondary student and National Development Team member fired rounds of 73-78-73. Jessie Yuen came close to adding a medal on the tennis court, losing the bronze medal match in three sets to B.C. teammate Oleksandra Gorchanyuk.

Rapids 2nd at BC Long Course Championships T
he Richmond Rapids were second overall at this summer’s Long Course Provincial Championships. The men’s team again placed first, continuing a long streak of wins. The women, in one of the highest finishes ever, came in fifth. The Rapids took 53 qualified athletes to the meet, the largest team ever produced by the program. Success came at all levels, from first time to senior. Jessy Barton-Jensen qualified for her first-ever provincial final, finishing sixth in the 100 backstroke. Will MacDougall also had
his first podium swim. The 11-year-old earned a bronze in the 200 individual medley (IM) at AAAs, dropping nearly five seconds in finals from a six-second improvement in the morning. Sarah Crawford also earned her first provincial medal ever, placing third in the 11-year-old final of the 200 breaststroke. She was over six seconds faster than her entry time. The weekend before at AA Championships, 10-year-old Isabella Villasenor placed third in the 200 back, her first medal at the event. The Rapids swept the 1213 sprint backstrokes, with
PJHL Winter Classic being held at Minoru
Richmond Sockeyes and Minoru Arenas will host the inaugural Pacific Junior Hockey League Winter Classic. The three-day event, slated for Jan. 1-3 during the coming PJHL season, will showcase all 10 teams in the junior “B” loop including the hometown Sockeyes. Each team will play two regular season games over the three days, making it an ideal opportunity for scouts from junior and university programs to recruit potential prospects. The Sockeyes are slated to open the 2015-16 season Sept. 8 against the Delta Ice Hawks in Ladner, before hosting the Grandview Steelers two nights later at Minoru.
both Matthew Crawford and Amanda McCallum winning the 50 and 100-meter distances. McCallum lowered her own club records in the process. She also captured silver in the 200 and continued to break club records in a number of events — the 50 free, 200 free, and 200and 400-meter IMs. One of the crowning achievements of the weekend came in the Boys 11-12 4x50 freestyle relay. The Rapids not only won the event, but also set two national records in the process. Eric Tong, after setting the provincial record in the 50-freestyle a month before, broke the national mark by two tenths on his opening leg. After the lead, Jonathan Wang, Run Qian Gong, and Samuel Pei all went well under their seed times and held off a charging Pacific Coast team to break the national record. Three days later, the same boys nearly set another, but this time were out-touched by Pacific Coast. Both teams were under the national record by a second.
On that relay, Jonathan Wang’s backstroke leg set the club record. Samuel Pei was on breaststroke for that relay, and in the individual event. He too set the club record. Pei, Wang, MacDougall, and Tong took bronze in the 4x200 freestyle as well, which put all three relays on the podium. Tong also broke the provincial record in the 100 free, a mark that was older than he is, and only a half a second off the national record time. His club records also extended to the 200 freestyle and 50 fly. Three other Rapids relays were successful in breaking club records: the 14 & under boys freestyle relay, which won gold, and the women’s senior 200 freestyle and medley relays, which were both silver. The girls 12 & under medley relay, made up by Vivian Liang, Jesse McIver, Amanda McCallum and Sarah Crawford, picked up a bronze. The 14 & under boys won the medley, while
the senior boys took the silver. The stroke 50’s were a big source of scoring swims for the Rapids. John Chiam and Eric Tong started the meet by going 1-2 in the 50 fly. Both boys were on the podium for the 50 freestyle as well. This time, Tong came out on top and lowered his national record from the relay. Chiam and Sarah Crawford were again on the podium, with silvers in the 50 breaststroke. Nicolaas Dekker was captured all three butterfly distances, the 100 breast, and earned bronze in the 400 IM and the 200 breast, after a big comeback drive on the last 50. Dekker was unrested for the meet, still preparing for Canadian nationals. Wendy Yang, Morgan Mark, Kevin Ye and Serena Xue were also headed to nationals, after having their own strong performances at provincials. Yang was successful in a series of sprint events: gold
in the 50 fly, which she also won at Westerns in February, silver in the 50 free, and bronze in the 100 fly. She also set six club records in both sprint distances for butterfly, backstroke, and freestyle. Xue medaled in all three breaststroke events — silver in the 50 and 200-meter distances, and bronze in the 100. Rounding out the list of club records was Devon Mark, with a pair in the 200 free and 400 free. Jammy Zou and Ryan Murray qualified for Western Nationals, while Zou also qualified for Age Group Nationals. The Rapids coaching staff would like to specifically thank the team of chaperones who provided full meal and snack service to the 53 athletes at the meet. Whether it was grilled chicken or ice-filled kiddie pools, the Rapids chaperones were on top of their athletes needs with style enough to be the envy of the province.
