Seniors rally for new centre
An arty party
New seniors centre is ‘bursting at seams’ but falls on city priority list
City capital projects ranking 1. RCMP headquarters 2. Fire Hall No. 1 3. Minoru Aquatic Centre 4. City Centre Community Centre (Firbridge) 5. Minoru Place Activity Centre (now called Older Adults Activity Centre) * According to city’s corporate facilities implementation plan
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Dozens of seniors—a few armed with knitting needles—packed city council chambers Monday to push elected officials to expand Minoru Place Activity Centre instead of offering more “empty promises.” “We identified the need for more space more than 10 years ago and we feel we’ve been getting the runaround ever since,” said Bill Sorenson, treasurer of Minoru Seniors Society, which helps operate the centre. “We feel we’ve been complacent long enough.” Built in 1986, the centre is now “bursting at the seams,” said Sorenson, as the number of active seniors taking part in programs and fitness classes grows. Five years ago city council’s parks and recreation committee vaulted a new seniors centre to the top of a priority list of new recreation facilities. But Sorenson said the centre has now slipped behind needs not even identified when seniors first broached the topic of expansion. According to staff, a new centre is slated for 2017, ranking fifth in capital project priorities. “No more empty promises. We want some action now,” said Sorenson. “Some of us would like to live to see this happen in our lifetime.” Most seniors’ services are offered at the centre, which includes a full-service cafete-

ria, games room, woodworking shop, computer workstations, multi-purpose rooms and area for socializing, reading and card games. The city built the 16,000-squarefoot facility after voters approved it in a 1981 referendum. Jeff Day, the city’s project development and facility services general manager, said staff are in the process of planning a new facility. He acknowledged other “conflicting priorities” have pushed the project down on the list. Chief administrative officer George Duncan told council that staff have now been instructed to no longer lower the project’s priority rank, adding staff will “very soon” present a new timeline for the city’s top capital projects. City officials have yet to determine whether a new seniors centre would be an expansion, a complete rebuild or a radical redesign that incorporates seniors housing. Each comes with its own challenges. A complete rebuild on the existing site would temporarily displace seniors programs, while an expansion is dependent on the future of the Minoru Aquatic Centre. The aging aquatic centre is scheduled to be replaced by 2014, and could be incorporated in the seniors centre design. See Page 3

RICHMOND REVEALED: A look at some of Richmond’s more interestingly-designed homes
This custom-made 3,600-square-foot house was built to look Victorian inside and out. But it was finished in 1992, not 1892.
Martin van den Hemel photo Larry Tolton on the backyard deck of his geodesic dome home on Bird Road.
Dome homes were once considered the way of the future Richmond has pair of oddshaped houses by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Two of the coolest homes in Richmond could be mistaken for twins to the untrained eye. The higher-profile one is nicknamed “The Dome” and is comparatively world famous, while it seeming sibling is tabbed the “Bird House” and is tucked away on an inconspicuous dead-end street two kilometres away. Both were built decades ago, but their curious, non-conforming shapes continue to raise eyebrows and interest. If you’ve lived in Richmond long enough, and travelled down Westminster Highway, you’ve likely spotted the home belonging to Harry and Susan Snalam just east of Shell Road. Their hex dome at 11300 Westminster Hwy. looks like a giant soccer ball, a patchwork of triangles and trapezoids and nary a right angle to be found anywhere.
“We’ve enjoyed it,” said Harry with his English accent and easy smile. It was in the early 1980s when inspiration for building the home came from a pile of strangely shaped wood pieces in a lot next door. The pieces were for a small dome demonstration home, and the idea intrigued them. “She said, that’s interesting,” Harry said of his wife’s reaction. Wanting to get away from the traditional style rectangular homes being built in Richmond at the time, the Snalams threw caution to the wind and forged ahead with the hex dome. And during those early days of construction in 1984, the Snalams saw a steady stream of curious passers-by stop and ask for an inside tour. Eventually, they trained their two oldest sons to give tours to the dozen or more people. City building inspectors were dubious of the home’s safety, and they weren’t alone, as the banks weren’t at first willing to lend the Snalams the money to build their dream. But 110 inspections later and their dream became a reality. The home is built from four pre-fabricated hexagonal sec-
tions, three of which hold up the fourth, which serves as the roof. As such, none of the walls inside the home support the roof, only bracing the floors directly above. The home’s round design means it only requires a single source of heat, the central fireplace. During a tour of the home in which he grew up, the Snalam’s youngest son Andrew said their home is famous with pilots, who can easily spy the oddly-shaped home from overhead, and use it as a visual turning marker when using the Vancouver International Airport’s south runway. Asked if their home is one-ofa-kind, the Snalams pointed to a home on nearby Bird Road, at Shell, that’s actually a true geodesic dome, lacking any of the trapezoids found in the Snalam house. When Palmer and Ardys Becker built their home at 11366 Bird Rd. back in 1979, they thought it was the way of the future. The couple were moving to Canada from Newton, Kansas, and had just heard a presentation by Buckminster Fuller, the father of geodesic construction. See Page 6
Victorian home a hidden jewel 3,600-square-foot house nestled in McNair neighbourhood by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Linda and Larry Spouler’s Victorianstyle heritage home is a real headturner, as much for its architectural beauty as its odd locale. Their custom-made 3,600-squarefoot house isn’t nestled in amongst similar 19th-century-style houses in Steveston or New Westminster, but rather in a neighbourhood with a hodge-podge of cookie-cutter house designs, from split-levels built in the 1960s to similarly-uninspired modern megahomes. In the maze of roads in the McNair neighbourhood, it’s like an unexpected breath of fresh air, a blue oasis in a desert of blah, and it sits at the corner of Dennis Crescent and Wilkinson Road. Built to look Victorian inside and out, the Spouler family home was actually finished in 1992 and built to modern-day energy standards. So although it features leaded glass windows, wainscotted and wallpapered walls, french doors and hardwood floors, it lacks any of the cold drafts or creaky floors that a centuryold home might be plagued with. Plus it’s got all the conveniences and amenities of a modern household, with radiant floor heating too. “It’s really neat. It gives us a lot of
pride,” Linda Spouler told The Richmond Review this week. Nary a week goes by when somebody doesn’t visit the Spoulers to ask about their abode whenever they’re out for a stroll or busy in the yard. In fact, last Sunday, they peaked out their modern double-glazed windows to see a group of women posing for a photo. Spouler said she and her husband received their inspiration from Street of Dreams exhibits held in the Seattle area. They saved all the plans, and jotted down the features they liked best, and then she turned to her sister, an architect, to put it all together. The Spoulers raised their family in the home, and are now thinking of the next chapter in their lives. They first moved into the neighbourhood in the 1960s, and lived in a Richmond special split-level just a few doors down the street on Dennis Crescent. But when the corner property came up for sale, they snapped it up, and held onto it for a few years until they came up with their plans to build their dream home. Now that their children have moved out, the spacious home is simply too big for them. Spouler said the four-bedroom house has a touch of Queen Annestyle, conveyed through the rounded porch posts. The picturesque nature of the home has made it well suited for wedding backdrops, as one co-worker and two close relatives have been married there.
Over-55 age group is the fastest growing in Richmond From Page 1 One thing is clear, according to Duncan: its location won’t change. “It would be at the civic precinct site,” he said. “It would be in the direct vicinity of where it is now.” Coun. Harold Steves suggested both facilities be rebuilt by utilizing the airspace above.
“This is one way to help pay for community recreation facilities that we do want.” A 2007 city study of Richmond’s “older adults” found those over age 55 are the fastest growing age group in the city. The study noted baby boomers are becoming the next generation of older
adults, and will continue to be active and place a high demand on services, According to the last census information, a quarter of the city’s population is in that age group—43,600 people—a 26 per cent increase over 2001. Richmond residents also have the
highest life expectancy in Canada, living an average of 83.4 years— almost four years longer than the national average of 79.5. Coun. Bill McNulty said a referendum might be in order for the fall election ballot. But Duncan said that isn’t necessary right now. “Going to referendum or not going
to referendum in November is not having any impact on the project scheduling or timeline,” he said. On Monday city staff called for a staff referral for more information on plans for the centre, but without an expectation of time, a staff report might not come until a planned update in the new year.

Commercial and light industrial properties in the City Centre area have experienced substantial increases in property taxes since 2005 due to various factors, including changes to the Richmond Official Community Plan to permit high density mixed-use developments in the area, construction of the Canada Line, rapid redevelopment in the area, and demand causing significant increases to the fair market and assessment values of properties in the area. The purpose of Bylaw 8776 is to protect jobs and businesses in the City Centre area during the transition of the area from primarily commercial and light industrial to high density mixed-use by providing temporary partial tax exemptions to eligible properties located within the City Centre Area Plan (“CCAP”) area, as specified in the Richmond Official Community Plan Bylaw 7100 Amendment Bylaw 8383, Schedule 2.10 – City Centre Area Plan. All properties that satisfy the following criteria and conditions will be eligible for the exemption: a) the property is located within the CCAP area; b) the property is classified only as Class 5 or 6 under the Assessment Act; c) the property’s assessed land value (not including improvements) has increased by 100 per cent or more between the 2005 and 2011 revised assessment rolls; d) the municipal taxes for the property has increased by more than $30,000 between the 2005 and 2011 taxation years; e) the property contains improvements, as determined by the BC Assessment Authority; f) the property is not a strata lot; g) the property contains at least one business that holds a valid City business licence; h) the owner of the property has entered into an exemption agreement with the City; and i) the property has been issued an exemption certificate.
Richmond Arenas Sports Equipment Swap Meet
The available exemption under Bylaw 8776 is equal to a reduction of 20 per cent of the assessed land value (not including improvements) of an eligible property. Exemptions will be provided to eligible properties on an annual basis during the next five years, from the 2012 to 2016 taxation years.
Saturday, August 6 10:00am-2:00pm
Staff will be hosting public meetings to explain Bylaw No. 8776 on Thursday, June 30 at 1:00 p.m. and Wednesday, July 6 at 4:00 p.m. The meetings will be held in room M.2.004 at Richmond City Hall.

Furlong to co-chair Vancouver riot review
Salmon Festival returns on Friday
Former Vancouver Olympic boss John Furlong and former Nova Scotia deputy attorney general Doug Keefe have been appointed co-chairs of a review into the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver. The B.C. government ordered the review after the June 15 final game of the NHL playoffs turned into an ugly scene of vandalism and looting that took police three hours to bring under control. Keefe is a veteran of investigations in Nova Scotia, including those for the 1992 Westray Mine explosion that killed 26 workers and the crash of a Swissair jetliner in
Steveston will be the place to be on Canada Day as the 66th Steveston Salmon Festival takes place. Events include the children’s bike parade at 9:30 a.m., the main parade at 10 a.m., a salmon barbecue that sells out fast, Japanese cultural displays, entertainment, a craft fair, children’s entertainment and more. In the afternoon, Vancouver Canuck Manny Malhotra is expected to appear at the Scotiabank booth inside the Richmond Olympic Oval Zone at the festival. The Kajaks Track and Field Club will host a one-mile run just prior to the parade. This sanctioned race was a popular event during the 1970s to mid-’80s and is back for the first time in years. See www.stevestonsalmonfest.ca for more information on festival events.
1998 that killed all 229 people on board. Furlong chaired Vancouver’s 2010 Olympic bid committee and went on to serve as president of the Olympic organization. He is a former Richmond resident. The review team is to report to the province and city of Vancouver by Aug. 31. It will look at the lessons of the 1994 Stanley Cup riot, and the plans by the Vancouver Police to prepare for the 2011 event. Recommendations are to include a framework for future public events in Vancouver. —Black Press

energy efficiency and strength in a cost-efficient style. It was built at a cost of $54,000 on a parcel of land that was just $43,000. “When we built the home in 1979, we thought dome houses would become very prominent,” Palmer said via e-mail from his current home in Ontario. The dome, now known affectionately as The Bird House, cost about 40 per cent less to heat and cool because it has 30 per cent less surface area exposed to the outside. As well, it is strong, with its system of triangles making it twice as strong per pound of material as compared to rectangles, he wrote. “A spherical shape is the cheapest way to enclose space. The triangles can be mass produced and novice workers can put them together. Roofing and dry-walling, however, are more difficult or expensive,” he said. Current homeowner Larry Tolton said he fell in love with the home as soon as he walked through the front doors and into the cavernous living room. Though it may look smallish from the outside, the home is 2,750 square feet, and features four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The home’s shape gives it a sense of space, Tolton said. “‘Oh my God!’ This is what I said when I showed up,” he said.

Phoenix net loft faces wrecking ball by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Portions of the Phoenix net loft are showing signs of “immediate collapse” and should be demolished before studying the value of what remains of the historic structure, say city staff. “If repairs are not executed as recommended, the facility is no longer in a serviceable condition and should not be used or accessed by (city) personnel or the public,” said Daniel Leonard of WorleyParsons Canada Services Ltd., in a consultant’s report ordered by the city. City council has yet to consider the matter, but staff are asking for $250,000 to demolish two sheds, along with what’s left of the wharf deck. The cash would also be used to fund protective covering—to prevent further erosion—and an updated assessment of the building’s condition. The next step would be up to civic politicians. Staff say full de-
molition would cost $450,000 and limit the city’s ability to use the site for anything else. Repair work, however, would ring in at $1 to $3 million. Staff say the building has potential for use for exhibits, artist studios, performance theatre, kayak and canoe storage, classroom space or a coffee shop. Last actively used in 2000 for net storage and repair, the Phoenix—behind a barbed wire fence—has been used for city storage in recent years. Planners originally envisioned the building would remain in use as part of the fishing industry, but its deteriorating state and the downturn in the fishing industry left the building vacant. They later hoped a private partner would repair it and lease the space, but a request for proposals didn’t yield any attractive offers. The city acquired the building in 2001 from B.C. Packers through the rezoning process of the company’s Steveston land
Barry Roughton, who led the now defunct Phoenix Cannery Preservation Society during the B.C. Packers redevelopment debates, submitted one such proposal—for a marine institute— but it never got off the ground. He said it would be a shame to see the building demolished. “They demolish just about every piece of history in Steveston,” he said. “That’s the only other piece left that’s of real consequence.” Roughton, who insisted the building could be “reutilized for all kinds of different things,” said the city has failed in its “duty of care” by letting the structure fall into disrepair. Although the city owns the building, Port Metro Vancouver owns the water lot, according to a report from parks manager Lucy Tompkins. In her report, she said the city is required to remove structures that occupy such water lots—if they’re not used or maintained.

Time for action to express priorities for seniors
D
reams, goals and plans. We’ve all got them—so does city hall.
In turning each into a priority, planners must delicately balance the needs of Richmond with the desires of elected officials and the public they serve. Big projects require extensive planning, research and creative financing. Many years can pass before ideas develop into bricks and mortar. But the city has failed to move quick enough on the Minoru Place Activity Centre. Seniors turned up the heat Monday with a light condemnation of a city that—in 2006—labelled a new centre as the No. 1 priority among parks, recreation and culture projects. The existing centre, they say, is bursting at the seams. Five years have passed, but city hall still hasn’t determined whether a new seniors centre would be an expansion, a complete rebuild or a radical redesign paired with a new aquatic centre or seniors housing. The city says new space is slated to be built in 2017. But that’s not good enough, say seniors, who called for the expansion 10 years ago. No doubt city brass needs to treat proposed capital projects like their kids—love them equally, don’t play favourites. It’s hard to when other priorities include a new earthquake-proof Fire Hall No. 1, a new City Centre community centre, a new Minoru Aquatic Centre and RCMP headquarters. But when it comes to meeting the needs of a burgeoning segment of the population, a little more love needs to be shown to seniors. The reality is our population is growing older—and fast. Baby boomers are becom-

ing the next generation of seniors, and will continue to be active and place a high demand on services. A quarter of the city’s population is in that age group, and it grew by 26 per cent from the 2001 census to the 2006. Expect even greater numbers from this year’s census when data is compiled. Meanwhile, Richmond—a city that brands
itself as the most livable city—boasts two significant stats: the highest life expectancy in Canada and the lowest rate of obesity. Given the huge benefits—physical, mental, social—of seniors activities and the huge demands for what’s already offered, city hall should re-examine its list of priorities by following three simple, yet inspiring, words of Gandhi: “Action expresses priorities.”

H
ere are a few items that didn’t make the daily news cycle as B.C. residents prepared for the longawaited summer of 2011 to begin. • After her meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa last week, Premier Christy Clark delivered a luncheon speech to the Economic Club of Toronto. Her big talking point for the speech was the rise of the Asia-Pacific region, “the fastest-growing middle class in the history of humanity.” The theme ran through her pitch to the federal government for a share of Ottawa’s largest-
ever shipbuilding contract, and her recent meeting with western premiers in Yellowknife. No word on how Clark’s enthusiasm for the west as Canada’s economic engine of the future went over with the Bay Street crowd. • After the speech, Clark took the wheel of a Chevy Volt electric car for a spin around Toronto with a GM Canada vice-president riding shotgun. She pronounced the car “fantastic technology.” This is pertinent as B.C. residents get ready to pay the latest increase in B.C.’s carbon tax. Effective July 1, the tax on a litre of gasoline rises from 4.45 cents to 5.56, with comparable increases to other carbon fuels. Clark has inherited Gordon Campbell’s aggressive climate change-clean energy agenda, and it’s not yet clear what will become of it. She has committed to the last consumer carbon tax increase in 2012 (up to 6.67 cents on a litre of gas), but the fate of the big hydroelectric push remains uncertain. Those plug-in electric cars need to start selling
before Campbell’s gamble of developing increasingly costly electricity starts to pay off. One potential competitor is natural gaspowered vehicles, taking advantage of huge new shale gas discoveries in B.C. and elsewhere. •Campbell’s pending appointment as Canada’s high commissioner in the United Kingdom should warm the hearts of conspiracy theorists. The story broke when Clark was in Ottawa, and when reporters asked for her take on the appointment, her first comment was that he’ll be a big help in negotiating a free trade agreement with the European Union. Students of Bill Vander Zalm will know that he sees the harmonized sales tax and EU trade as an effort to impose world government and set B.C.’s sales tax rate in Europe. Early in his goofy anti-HST campaign, Vander Zalm claimed this was Plan B for world government after the conspirators failed to impose a global carbon tax. If the HST is a conspiracy, it’s a mighty big
If the HST is a conspiracy, it’s a mighty big one. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon never tires of reminding people that 140 countries already have value-added taxes, including China and those other Asia-Pacific tigers that are dominating the world economy.
one. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon never tires of reminding people that 140 countries already have value-added taxes, including China and those other Asia-Pacific tigers that are dominating the world economy. • Douglas College in New Westminster and the Heilongjiang Institute of Science and Technology in Harbin, China have celebrated the graduation of
137 students in their dualdegree business administration program. The program began in 2003, with an exchange of instructors. At the Harbin campus, students take 52 courses to qualify them as specialists in global financial markets and international banking. • By last year, there were 94,000 international students in K-12, postsecondary and language schools in B.C. According to the advanced education ministry, if considered an export service, international education is B.C.’s fifth largest export, accounting for seven per cent of exports from the province. Meanwhile in B.C., discussion of international trade still tends to revolve around lumber and logs. And according to a recent poll, Vander Zalm is still considered by many to be an authority on trade and taxes. It’s time to join the world’s adult conversation.

letters Do councillors make the grade?
Party on
Editor: Again we taxpayers are, and will be considering, whom to vote for in the upcoming municipal election. The all-candidates meetings will be carefully handled by interest groups and the individual incumbent candidates will endeavour to spread a brain virus of warm fuzzy feelings. Let us taxpayers challenge each individual incumbent councillor and the mayor to produce for publication their accomplishments over the previous term of office. There is plenty of time for the publication to be reviewed by the taxpayer prior to the next election date. Are the current council and mayor members proud of their accomplishments? Of course they can also confess their failures. The challenge is hereby issued. Now incumbents, let’s see your honest time and results/report cards that can we can evaluate from A to F. Dale T. Pitts Richmond
Editor: Re: “City council spends $2.5-million surplus.” Well done city council. Excellent job on the Herculean task of spending a $2.5-million surplus. I’m sure that this sterling achievement will feature prominently in your reelection campaign. Many taxpayers (who just paid their property taxes) will be delighted that none of the money was earmarked to keep spending under control or to reduce taxes. Instead, it sounds like the party continues. Mark van den Boer Richmond

letters Frogs and the ice cream man Editor: “The Times They Are aChangin’”?! A Bob Dylan tune: Never did those words mean as much to me as they do today, especially if you live in Richmond. My husband and I have lived in Richmond our entire lives and in our present house for 26 years. We are going through massive change in our neighbourhood. While living in our neighbourhood where we brought up our son and enjoyed all that the area had to offer, we would enjoy the sounds of spring, but in particular the ear shattering tree frogs chirping that would echo throughout the evenings! It was both a welcoming sound that spring was just around the corner and also that nature was just outside our door. Friends who came to visit would often marvel at the loud sound of these little tree frogs. At times I would have to shut the window, the sound was so deafening, but I would give anything to hear those sounds again. Strange how times change and now instead of the almost deafening sound of hundreds of tree frogs, we are lucky if we hear one little tree frog croacking away. It’s a very
lonely sound to hear, believe me. Now I shut the windows not to drown out the sounds of the little frogs but to drown out the sounds of the bulldozers, tractors and the cement trucks. I would gladly welcome the sound of the little tree frogs echoing throughout the night. But that is not to be, I guess this is progress. Tonight I heard a sound that I haven’t heard in a very long time— the musical sound of the ice cream man. Does that ever bring back childhood memories of living on Caithcart Road during the 1960s. I ran to my bedroom window to see if any little children ran to the side of the road with their loonie in hand hoping they made it in time for the ice cream man to stop. He saw me at my window and waved, and I waved back, thinking to myself an ice cream would have tasted so good about now. I hope some children had the chance to enjoy them also, but somehow I doubt it. No children play outside in our neighbourhood, not anymore. Oh the times they are a-changin’ and Richmond, we’re outta here. L. MacDougall Richmond

Class Act to aid Tanzanian school Friends of The House of Learning will be hosting a fundraiser at the Starlight Casino called “Class Act” on July 7. The evening, which is a fundraiser for a school for underprivileged children in Tanzania, will feature singers, dancers and a silent auction of Tanzanian art. Richmond resident Sabrina Meherally volunteered at The House of Learning in Tanzania in 2010, teaching English to underprivileged children. The House of Learning is a registered, non-governmental, non-profit centre, which was founded and funded by a local Tanzanian couple. “Knowing that the entire operation was financially dependent on the income of the founders, I became determined to help ensure the
sustainability of The House of Learning so that it can continue providing education to underprivileged children who are so eager to learn.” Earlier this year, she and Jermaine Sequeira, Bernadette Brocal, Aachal Goundar, Vanessa Sequeira, Sharon Fan and Al-Rahim Moosa formed Friends of The House of Learning. The event takes place on July 7 at 7 p.m. at the Starlight Casino (350 Gifford St. in Queensborough on the New Westminster-Richmond border). All proceeds will go directly to the House of Learning to support sustainable initiatives which provide free education to underprivileged children in Tanzania. For information, visit www.friendsofHOL.com or contact Sabrina at info@ friendsofHOL.com.

community Inner peace explored Charan Anand will speak on Prem Rawat’s message of inner peace at the Ralph Fisher Auditorium Thursday. Anand, 80, is a student of Rawat, whose foundation provides food, water and emergency relief for people around the world. Anand last visited Richmond in 2010, when he met with volunteers at the Richmond Sharing Farm. According to the Prem Rawat Foundation website, Rawat’s message isn’t affiliated with any particular philosophy, religion or spiritual path. “In the heart of every human being is also a want. A wish to be content, a wish to be in peace. Peace is not absence of war. Peace is a fundamental human need that needs to be felt from within,” writes Rawat. Singer-songwriter Dennis Lakusta will also perform at the event, scheduled from 7 to 8:30 p.m. June 30 at the auditorium, located inside Richmond Hospital. Admission is free.

Chairing a discipline committee isn’t a job people generally clamour for. But as vice-president of the Richmond Secondary Schools Athletics Association, it’s a role Henry Au inherited. Despite the often contentious nature of dealing with such matters, Au has received nothing but praise and respect from colleagues—a testament to the integrity, fairness and professionalism he shows with every challenge presented him. “Those three words to me really describe Henry,” said RSSAA president Gayle Guest, who was thrilled to see Au selected as the 2011 recipient of the Robert (Bob) Jackson Merit Award for distinguished service to high school athletics at the RSSAA’s annual coaches awards banquet Tuesday at R.A. McMath Secondary. “He’s a phenomenal role model in every capacity,” Guest added. Since beginning his career in education 13 years ago, Au, now a vice-principal at Richmond Christian Elementary, has promoted his ideals through sport. Fairplay and sportsmanship have always topped the list. “I love kids and want to see them

604-270-9252 Open Daily From 11:30am
It’s summer and the flavour profiles of Italy really celebrate the fresh produce of the season at Paesano’s. Winner of Richmond’s Best Italian Food in the Best of Richmond, Paesano’s is the place to really savour what this cuisine has to offer. Formerly in central Richmond for over three decades, this renowned favourite has moved to bustling Steveston and now offers patio dining. For its first year in Steveston, Paesano’s is celebrating with some great menu specials. This is the sort of restaurant with dishes you’ll never forget. A friend from out of town still gushes about the gnocchi she enjoyed several years ago. This is where she wants to go when she comes back to visit so be sure to bring your guests. Open daily for lunch and dinner; reservations are advised. Salmon Festival Bulletin: Make sure to drop by and try our Canada Day Special: BBQ Grilled Italian Sausages in a bun with a pop for only $4 (Take-Out Only).

A Supplement to The Richmond Review
richmondchamber.ca
Hey, we asked… and every one of our customers. We strive to give every person who comes through our door, no matter what department they come to, a positive, personal experience. This requires a commitment from each and every one of our employees. We recognize that each customer is unique with unique needs, and by creating a relationship, we can be responsive to those needs on an ongoing basis. We have customers that have initially come to us, and now their children and grandchildren are coming to us. That kind of loyalty must be continually earned. We know that our customers have numerous choices when it comes to purchasing and caring for their vehicles. We want to be the first place they think of and come to for all their automotive needs.
GREGORY B. KEITH of Dueck Richmond
How long in the business? ■
Our Company, Dueck GM is actually celebrating our 85th Anniversary this year. Our family purchased our Marine Drive location in 1987, and we subsequently acquired our Downtown store on Terminal Avenue in 2001, and our Richmond store in 2005. I joined the business full time in 2005, after graduating from the University of Denver and Northwood Dealer Academy, and playing a little hockey.
the parts delivery truck. Literally, 3 days after I was born she had bundled me up, and took me with her to making parts deliveries around Calgary. I have grown up around the business, spending many summers working in all the different departments, so it was a very natural transition when I retired from hockey.
Why this business? ■
The Car business is truly in my blood! My parents opened their first dealership in 1980 the year I was born, Keith Pontiac Buick in Okatoks, AB. In order to make it successful my mother took on numerous jobs at the store, including driving

10% per year. Looking to continue involvement in serving the communities in which we are located and look forward to having more dealerships.
Are you and your business on social media and if so which? ■
What do you do to de-stress? ■
I have always enjoyed getting out on a boat or a Harley and just driving with no destination in mind. Recently a good friend of mine has introduced me to cycling. In all cases - no phones or computers just my IPOD with some country music playing.
Name a business leader you admire and why? ■
Absolutely without question I admire my father for everything he has accomplished in the car business. He has single-handedly grown his business from a small rural dealership on the outskirts of Calgary into one of the largest General Motors Dealership groups in the country. I learn something new from him every day, and although we do have minor different views from time to time, we stay best friends.
Obviously, in this day and age, it is a necessity to engage your customers in new and exciting ways. While social media has not yet proven to be a direct way to sell our vehicles, it is a great marketing tool to create brand awareness and excitement, to define our image and values, and it’s a great tool to introduce our brand and products to a new and constantly changing demographic.
Have you or your business received any awards? ■
We have received many awards, most notably to us is that we are a 19 time recipient of GM’s Triple Crown Award, which is not just awarded for sales and service performance, but for excellence in customer satisfaction. Striving to achieve this goal every year, keeps us focused on the most important part of our business, the customer!
New legislation allows property tax exemptions esignated commercial property owners in Richmond’s Brighouse area may be eligible for a partial exemption on their 2012-2016 property taxes, after new provincial legislation was approved last week. The legislation was created to provide relief to property owners in the Brighouse area, who have seen extraordinary increases in their property assessments since 2005, with some cases exceeding 300 per cent. The resulting property tax increases threatened to force many local business to close or relocate, putting hundreds of local jobs at risk. The City of Richmond can now approve partial tax exemptions on both the municipal and provincial (school ) portions of the overall property tax bill. “This is an exceptional situation where many property
owners were facing huge increases due to a unique combination of factors beyond anyone’s control,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “The huge increases were putting many jobs at risk, which would be a blow to our local economy. We’re thankful to the Province, particularly Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard and his predecessor Olga Ilich, for working with us to address this issue.” There will be a number of conditions that a business property within the City Centre area will have to meet in order to qualify for the tax relief. Terms of how the exemption will be applied are yet to be finalized. The bylaw that establishes the exemption program and application process will be in front of Council soon, with an expected application deadline of Sept. 16, in order to qualify for a 2012 tax exemption.

“ROOFUS” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!
“ROOFUS” ID # 229126, NM, 5 YEARS, DSH
This robust guy was brought to the SPCA by ambulance because he was found on a roof, very dehydrated. He is the King of the Castle, & will appreciate having a chair to hang out on and watch the world go by. He is full of personality & likes to talk to you to find out how your day is going! Roofus is a brown tabby with gorgeous green eyes & has won the hearts of the staff & volunteers at the Richmond BCSPCA with his sweet & cheerful disposition.

> Cocktail pARTy at Gateway Theatre
Artists helping artists at Gateway Theatre bash
P
utting a twist on the everyday cocktail party, Gateway Theatre sent their guests home from their first annual Cocktail pARTy last Thursday evening with a smile and a piece of art.
“It really was more than I expected it to be,” said Debbie Tobin, co-chair of the event and a member of Gateway’s board of directors. The event, which featured a champagne reception and food and wine by several local restaurants for the 100 guests, was designed to raise money for the theatre, but also to help other artists. “Our whole concept was Around Town artists helping artists,” Tobin Amanda Oye said. “We wanted this really fun, funky event that not only supported the theatre but supported the community,” she said. Each couple that attended the event left with a piece of artwork that was on display, all of which had been donated by local artists. Names were drawn to determine the order in which people could claim their favourite piece, creating a lot of excitement for the guests. “The generosity of the artwork and the artists blew me away,” Tobin said. There was about $52,000 worth of art, so everyone had the opportunity to purchase another piece at the end of the night.
