New group to follow route of city staff in urging businesses to include English

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A group of Chinese leaders is vowing to visit businesses with Chinese-only signs and urge own-ers to include English.

Calling itself the Signs of Harmo-ny Group, members say they aren’t in favour of a bylaw regulating lan-guage on signs. Instead, they plan to “locate, communicate, educate and improve.”

Their strategy includes encour-aging businesses to use English, while working with other business owners to improve signs that “may cause misunderstanding,” such as those with multiple languages set in different colours, and specialty shops that aren’t able to translate all products.

“Without English…signs may confuse some people and may cause frustrations,” according to the group’s Tuesday news release.

Group members are: Capilano University business professor Allen Zhu; president of Royal Pacific Realty Group David Choi;

former radio host Han Yan; Simon Fraser University professor Jan Walls; Ken Tung, president of a Richmond information technol-ogy company and former SUC-CESS chair; developer MagdalenLeung; business owner MichaelChiu; and former SUCCESS CEOTung Chan.

The group encourages people to report, with photos, any business sign lacking English to [emailprotected].

While Richmond Hill, Ont. re-quires at least 50 per cent of asign’s text be in English or French, Richmond doesn’t regulate lan-guage on signs of businesses, de-velopment sites or advertisem*nts.

Last fall Richmond city coun-cil adopted a plan to consult thepublic on the language issue andasked staff to confront business owners to encourage the additionof English on signs.

At a March 12 public forum, Ce-cilia Achiam, the city manager responsible for the sign file, said staff had already visited over 600 City Centre businesses.

“In talking to people face-to-facewe’re reminding people we’re aninclusive community, you need asign permit to do business, and by the way, if you don’t have signage in English you are losing at least50 per cent of potential custom-ers,” she said.

Chinese leaders say education, not regulation for signs

Signs with little or no English on them are frequently seen in Richmond.

Public field suited for control-line model planes only, say lease-holders

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Near the George Massey Tunnel, several ki-lometres from the airport, a pair of unusual runways mark an otherwise ordinary field.

The airstrips are circular, and the aircraft tethered. This city-owned green space on Rice Mill Road is the domain of hobbyists who pilot control-line model aircraft—a space they say is getting crowded because of a controversial bylaw.

Control-line pilots have noticed other model aircraft flying here since city council’s decision to ban models at all other Richmond parks by Aug. 1.

Now model pilots who aren’t members of a control-line club are being asked to go else-where.

“While we initially may have suggested that Rice Mill is an option, it’s not really a good option for those other than people with fixed line aircraft, because others would conflict with that use,” said Ted Townsend, city spokes-person.

Council has delayed final adoption of the by-law to give staff time to investigate whether there’s a suitable site to fly radio controlled model aircraft, quad-copters and drones in Richmond. For now, still in effect is the old bylaw, which only bans gas-powered models in city parks.

“It’s going to take some time to work through because we need to Transport Canada regula-

tions and other issues to find a suitable loca-tion, but we’re trying to move through that as quickly as possible,” said Townsend.

The city already has an agreement with the Vancouver Gas Model Club to allow control-line planes at Rice Mill Road. The planes are connected to operators by control lines, and flown above a paved circle at low-altitude.

Other model aircraft can interfere with flying circles, overhead wires and even a dog club that shares part of the field, according to the club.

“When you’re talking about drones that are flying loose, with high tension lines above, you’re talking about something that can get out of control,” said Gerald Boyd, a longtime club member. “They’re untethered. They’re all over the sky.”

Boyd said the field is open to new control-line pilots, but they must join a local club and be members of the Model Aeronautics As-sociation of Canada, which provides liability insurance.

“The field has been in use by us for over 30 years and is also leased by us,” said Boyd, who noted his club shares the field with the Pa-cific Aeromodellers Club. “We welcome (new members) to fly at our club, but please join MAAC, and then we will be protected and then the city will be protected.”

Although interest in control-line planes isn’t what it once was, the Vancouver Gas Model Club still has around 25 members. Most, in-cluding Bruce Duncan, got into the hobby at a young age.

Duncan first joined the club in 1953 after a childhood interest in flight led to a pilot’s licence and a lifelong passion for balsa-wood models.

“I always liked airplanes,” he said. “I’d ride my bike to school and pretend it was an airplane.”

Bank robbed near police station

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

A bank robbery suspect won’t be winning any intel-ligence awards for his deci-sion making on Wednesday morning.

The bandit allegedly struck

a Bank of Montreal at No. 5 Road and Steveston Highway before sprinting away around 10:30 a.m.

What he probably didn’t realize is that the RCMP’s Richmond headquarters are just a stone’s throw away from that same intersection, and at any given time of day, police cruisers, both marked unmarked, roll through.

A gas jockey said he saw a man in jeans sprint down

Steveston Highway, com-ing from the direction of the bank, before the area was flooded with police vehicles.

Richmond RCMP Cpl. Den-nis Hwang said police man-aged to nab the suspect.

The male suspect, in his mid 40s, was well known to police, Hwang said, adding that the public and great team work combined to help locate the man.

The B.C. government has fired Agricultural Land Commission board chair and CEO Richard Bullock, and will pay out his five-year contract until it ends in November, Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said Thursday.

Bullock will be replaced effec-tive immediately by long-time Saanich mayor Frank Leonard, who was voted out after nearly 20 years in last fall’s civic elections.

Letnick said with new regula-tions taking effect to manage the Agricultural Land Reserve with two zones, it was time to make a change and let Leonard and the board choose a new CEO.

The B.C. government has been at odds with Bullock since early in his five-year term, when he stopped appointing commissioners to six regional panels around the province.

The opposition New Democrats say the move is another example of the Liberals at-tacking B.C. farmland.

“Richard Bullock has been an effective advocate for the protection of farmland in British Columbia. Instead of thanking him, the Liberals are showing him the door be-fore the end of his term,” said New Democrat agriculture spokesperson Lana Popham. “By firing him the B.C. Liberals are continuing their war on B.C.’s agricultural land.”

Popham noted that Bullock fought back

against B.C. Liberal MLA andformer Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm when he tried to inter-fere in an application beforethe commission, which tookcourage and conviction.

“Bullock is a true champion for agriculture, who is re-spected by all sectors of the agriculture industry for his ex-pertise and fair-mindedness,”Popham said. “This is a critical time for B.C. agriculture, as the Liberals prepare to release new

regulations stemming from Bill 24, which weakened farmland protections on 90 per cent of ALR land. By replacing B.C.’s agri-cultural watch dog with someone with nobackground in agriculture, the B.C. Liberalsare making it clear that their attack on theALR has only just begun.”

Leonard takes over as the ALC deals with a vast Interior “zone two” with relaxed rules for second residences and non-farm activities.Commissioners are also expected to deal with applications by a British manufacturing giant buying B.C. Interior farms to turn back to forest for European Union carbon credits.

Letnick said the regional panels are up and running, and he doesn’t expect the change at the top to cause delays in making deci-sions on farmland use or exclusion.

By Ken Johnston

The City of Richmond has been a leader in embracing corporate energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for more than 20 years. From simple steps such as converting to energy efficient light bulbs to major undertakings such as our district energy program, Richmond is constantly seeking new ways to reduce our reliance on carbon-based energy sources and limit our overall energy consumption.

Of particular importance to me is the BC Climate Action Charter through which Richmond has committed to being carbon neutral. The numbers are still being validated for 2014 but it is expected the City will be recognized for carbon neutrality for the second straight year. Due to our accumulated surplus of GHG offsets and the ongoing growth of our organics diversion program, it is projected the City will also achieve carbon neutrality for 2015 and 2016.

Other initiatives include the City’s Green Fleet Action Plan, adopted in 2013, and the revised High Performance Building Policy, adopted in 2014. We’ve introduced

electric vehicles into our City fleet and taken many other steps to curb fuel use. Construction begins soon on two new fire halls and the multi-purpose Minoru Complex. All will be built to meet aggressive targets for reduced energy use and GHG emissions.

Our innovative district energy program creates an economically viable and sustainable energy supply for its users from sources that are locally produced and controlled. In coming years, we will be the power company for thousands of residents and businesses in the West Cambie and Oval Village area.

We’ve created a number of programs and resources to allow homeowners and businesses to join us in saving energy and money. The Building Energy Challenge provides resources and training to operators of commercial, multifamily and institutional buildings and businesses to reduce energy use and costs. We partner with many agencies to offer rebates and other resources to help homeowners save energy too. Currently, residents can get a $100 or $200 rebate for purchasing an Energy Star model clothes washer before the end of June.

To find out more about these and other initiatives, visit our website www.energy.richmond.ca and watch for a special upcoming report in this newspaper later this summer.

The Richmond Night Market’s LolliDuck Adventure begins tonight

There will be more for families to see and do when the Richmond Night Market opens Friday to launch the 2015 season.

Founder Raymond Cheung, of Firework Productions Ltd., has brought in two gi-ant pirate ships, one that’s inflatable and designed for children, the other a colourful creation complete with smoke-spewing can-nons and bubbles galore.

This year’s event, dubbed LolliDuck’s Adventure, is bigger than ever, with an expanded food section that’s 25 per cent larger than last year, and has more than 100 vendors offering cuisine from Taiwan, Korea, China, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam and even Greece. New this year are the minds behind the BBQ offerings featured annually at the PNE.

Cheung said this year’s market will also

feature an expanded entertainment area, with more carnival-style games for families to enjoy.

And for those looking for smart phone cov-ers, inexpensive jewelry and other trinkets, there will be 170 retail booths as well.

Cheung is particularly proud of one new feature this year: the Throne of Rotato, a fi-breglass creation inspired by the iron throne from the popular HBO TV series Game of Thrones.

Those planning to visit the market are invited to purchase a new $2 coupon book that offers savings of more than $250.

The Richmond Night Market is located at 8351 River Rd., at the north end of No. 3 Road, just west of River Rock Casino Resort.

An artist’s rendering of the McArthurGlen Vancouver Airport centre, an open-air retail mall under construction near the airport on Sea Island.

McArthurGlen outlet mall will open with at least 46 shops, including recognizable brands

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A new retail mall now under construction on Sea Island will boast many recognizable brands when it opens this summer.

McArthurGlen Vancouver Airport an-nounced its first list of tenants Wednes-day—46 in all—ahead of Phase 1 opening now scheduled for early summer.

New shops coming to Richmond include Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein and Mavi Jeans, along with a new location of Vancouver’s Secret Location—a store that markets itself as part lifestyle boutique, part restaurant.

Twelve of the brands are already at Rich-mond Centre mall five kilometres away. An-other nine brands also have outlets at Smart-Centres’ Queensborough Landing shopping centre at the east end of Lulu Island.

The mall will, however, boast the first Lower Mainland location for some brands, including the women’s activewear store Lolë and con-temporary designer label Ports 1961.

Several more stores are in the process of completing leasing terms. At opening, mall managers expect the first phase of the cen-tre to be 70 per cent full, according to a news release.

“We are very happy with the way leasing has progressed and feel shoppers will be thrilled with the brand mix,” said Robert Thurlow, gen-eral manager, in a news release. “From Coach to Polo Ralph Lauren to Mountain Warehouse, there is really going to be an exciting mix of luxury, premium and lifestyle brands that will

appeal to everyone at McArthurGlen Vancou-ver Airport.”

The open-air village-style mall, whose early plans called for the first phase to be complete by last fall, is a joint project between Van-couver Airport Authority and London-based McArthurGlen group.

It’s being built near Canada Line’s Templeton Station on Sea Island with “pedestrian-friendly walkways, tree-lined streets, a dancing foun-

tain, gentle landscaping, a luxury piazza and a variety of façades,” according to McArthurGlen.

Restaurants, cafes and open-air seating ar-eas are also planned, along with a children’s playground and on-site entertainment.

Once the mall opens, a second phase is scheduled to open 18 to 24 months later, ac-cording to Ally Day, McArthurGlen Vancouver Airport’s marketing manager.

A career fair for the mall’s first 600 retail posi-

tions is planned for May 24 and 25 at Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in downtown Vancouver. Itfollows an earlier career fair at River Rock Ca-sino Resort last month that drew over 1,600applicants.

The job fair, at 900 Canada Place Way, is May24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and May 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Applicants are asked to bring copies of their resume and cover letter at thedrop-in style fair.

Traveller fined $18,000 for smuggling in goods

Xiao Wei Wu may have to pay up additional $63,000 for return of items

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

It was an expensive trip for a traveller who quietly broughtback nearly $80,000 worth of jewelry, designer clothing and accessories, but didn’t declare them to customs officials.

Xiao Wei Wu appeared in Richmond provincial court lastmonth after pleading guilty to evading the payment of du-ties, and was sentenced to not only a $18,559.50 fine, but also a nine-month term of probation that includes 60 hours of com-munity service.

Last September, Wu was returning to Vancouver Interna-tional Airport from a trip to France and China.

After being referred for a secondary examination, an officer discovered Wu was carrying several undeclared items, includ-ing a Piaget watch, a necklace, a pair of earrings, two bottles of eau de toilette, Chanel hand bags, a wallet, two pairs of Salva-tore Ferragamo shoes, Hermes scarves, and nine other piecesof high-end clothing, Canada Border Services spokespersonStefanie Wudel said.

The total estimated value of the undeclared goods was$79,389, which meant she evaded $9,279.75.

In addition to the court fine, Wu will have to pay a penalty ofbetween 24 per cent and 80 per cent of the value of the seizeditems, which means Wu may have to pay an additional $63,000 to get her items returned.

Smuggling, undervaluation and other Customs Act offencesmay lead to seizure and or prosecution, Wudel said.

May 15 is deadline for voters to request a ballot

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Elections BC says it has now received and screened 616,519 Metro Vancouver transit referendum ballots from 39.5 per cent of regis-tered voters.

The breakdown of re-turned ballots shows the count has surpassed No-vember’s municipal elec-tion turnout in most mu-nicipalities.

Spokesman Don Main said Elections BC has caught up in processing incoming ballots and no longer has a significant backlog to work through.

The latest numbers come as a final push is on by both the Yes and No camps in the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite to ensure every voter gets a ballot.

Some residents may not have received ballot pack-ages because they mis-placed or lost them or they receive one for other rea-sons, such as an address change.

Midnight on Friday, May 15 is the deadline to ask Elections BC for a new one by calling 1-800-661-8683.

Ballots can also be re-quested up until May 15 at one of nine Elections BC plebiscite offices in Metro

Vancouver, where voting can also be done on the spot.

There is one located in Richmond Centre. For oth-er locations and hours seehttp://www.elections.bc.ca/plebiscite/where.html.

opinion

by Bob NilesContributor

Many of us here in Rich-mond are

faced with an unusual situation, the situa-tion being that the old house next door was demolished, then a new one was built and sold, but nobody moved in.

And now we all of a sudden live in a fancy neighbourhood with no neighbours! Or, part time neighbours that just live next door once in awhile. Neighbours that are gone months at a time and leave their large investment in The City of Richmond’s real estate in your care.

“Fools!” my wife calls them. “Who would dare leave their beautiful house, worth almost 2 million dollars, in the care of an nincompoop like you? Fools!”

No argument here. But I’m not a complete nincompoop, I’ve devel-oped my limited level of nincompoop-ary through years of paternal training. My Dad was the best at messing up any and all jobs Mom gave him. His motto was ‘Get it wrong the first time and she’ll phone someone the sec-ond time to have it done right.’ Besides they didn’t ask me to redo their house plumbing.

My wife’s also mad cause they gave me a key to their house to....? I for-get. But now it’s become my second home. I hauled my TV over and bought an extra 100 ft. of coaxial

cable. Now I get all my TV stations in HDPnQ. High Definition Peace-n-Quiet.

And the longer they’re away the more it’s like home to me. After the second month of their absence the wife and I barely see each other as I have taken up full residence in their home. A situation that the wife is jealous of because I live in a nicer home than her. And a situation that almost got me arrested.

I’m in their house (because I now live there) having a long hot shower, when some idiot comes in their driveway and lays on the horn. You run from the shower ( soaking wet because you forgot to bring a towel with you) and wrap yourself in the curtains to find out what nincompoop making all the hullabaloo. And

it’s them! My part-time neighbours.

Their horn is blaring because your brother-in-laws broken down motor home is blocking the driveway.

You quickly paste your clothes on ( it looks like that when you dress wet) and run out the back door, in an eff ort to hide your somewhat illegal entry. And in doing so forget-ting to remove the nice neighbour lady’s shower cap. “Welcome home!” you suggest as you suddenly remember, and remove the ill-gotten shower cap. And it’s at this very moment you realize the gravity of the situation.

The motor home’s in the driveway because it’s transmission is in their carport. An electrical cord is running from their house to your teenag-

ers room to power some very bright lights (some sort of science project he says). Their 16 piece patio furniture set is still at your mother-in-laws. Your fill-ing your in ground pool from their hose. There’s still a load of laundry in their washer, one on top of their dryer and one in the dryer. You still haven’t cleaned up from the party you had in their back-yard two weeks ago. The toi-lets plugged to overflow-ing. The grass you said you’d cut and water is so far just an empty promise. And then all of a sudden you remember why they gave you their key. Some-thing about making a commitment to feed and water their cat Mitsy.

All this plus you’ve rented their basem*nt out to a non-English speaking, perhaps Eastern

European, perhaps drug underworld, perhaps vio-lent and somewhat shady character till the end of the week.

Lucky for you your neighbors don’t speak English. Which for a time (or maybe longer) is go-ing to save your butt. Oh they’ll look at you funny for a long time, and never leave anything in you care again (something the wife already knew ‘Fools’). And sometime in the far distant future they’ll get over Mitsy. A long haired cream coloured Persian cat last seen in and around No. 3 Rd. and Blundell. With the pos-sibility of a reward, or will take care of your house for an extended period while absent. Anyone?

The Alberta election may or may not prove to be a seismic shift in

Canadian politics.The governing Progressive Con-

servatives, in power under seven diff erent premiers since 1971, were dramatically thrown out of offi ce by voters — capturing just 10 seats and coming in third. Tak-ing their place as the government of Alberta is the Alberta NDP, a party which has never held more than 16 seats in the legislature. In the past, most of its electoral strength has been confi ned to the

Edmonton area. The NDP won 54 seats, although there was a tie vote in one Calgary riding. Final results there are not yet offi cial.

Political scientists are having a fi eld day with the election. There are many reasons for the fall of the PCs and the rise of the NDP, but the overriding one seems to be that the PCs took power for granted after 44 years.

While new PC leader Jim Prentice was capable and experienced, his actions in luring most of the oppo-sition Wildrose Party’s MLAs to his caucus, and bringing in a budget that punished ordinary Albertans,

seemed to infuriate voters. The NDP under Rachel Notley seemed the best option for many of them.

This election could have implica-tions for the federal election in October. The Conservatives won all but one seat in Alberta in 2011. If there is a signifi cant shift away from them (although they are not directly connected to the Al-berta PCs), it could hurt the party’s chances of being re-elected as government.

The federal Liberals could also be hurt by the shift to the NDP provincially, while the federal NDP in Alberta, who now hold just one

seat there, are likely to benefi t.In B.C., there are also implica-

tions. Notley opposes the North-ern Gateway pipeline, which would now seem to have little chance of being built. She backs the twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, and she also wants more Alberta oil processed in Canada — something many people of all political stripes agree with.

It is quite likely that she and B.C. Premier Christy Clark can work well together on many issues, includ-ing pipelines and adding value to resources extracted in Canada.

Editor:For the plebiscite for better transit, the

Elections BC site in the Richmond Centre mall is useful for voters—if one can fi nd it. I couldn’t until I asked the way. A map would help, so I’ve adapted one above.

The plebiscite offi ce is near the main en-trance in the middle of the Minoru Boule-vard side. It’s also near the escalator to the dining terrace, shown above with an olive swoosh. Either way, you’ll spot the Orange Julius corner, and the plebiscite offi ce is just down the aisle from it.

Until Friday, May 29, one can vote there. Until Friday, May 15, one can register and get a ballot there too. Every day except Sun-days, it’s open during Richmond Centre mall hours, but voting ends at 8 pm on May 29.

As well, elections.bc.ca/plebiscite can help. Another good online source is the concise form of the mayors’ transit plan. To read it, just google “overview mayors council”.

One may wonder what’s best for a healthy

environment. The Garden City Conservation directors thought it through and arrived at “Yes.” The mayors’ plan would combat air pol-lution, greenhouse gas emissions and loss of green space to pavement.

Of course, the Ministry of Transportation weakened the mayors’ clear ballot ques-tion and has not governed Translink well. While hampered like that, the mayors have bolstered their plan with the Jimmy Pattison panel for accountability. By giving the may-ors the support they deserve, we get a bet-ter chance for the better future we deserve.

I’ve just shared two maps with you—one with a graphic and one as words alone. They are two aspects of enabling informed action in the plebiscite. Empowering informed choice is a constant Garden City Conserva-tion aim. Now and always, we hope it helps.

Editor:Every day, businesses and consumers

across Canada rely on Port Metro Vancou-ver terminals to get goods to and from 160 trading partners around the world.

Based on historical trends and indepen-dent forecasts, it is expected Canada’s west coast trade of goods using shipping containers will double between now and 2030 at an average annual rate of about 4.5 per cent.

This growth is being driven by increas-ing Canadian demand for consumer goods made in Asia, such as electronics, food and clothing, as well as Asian de-mand for Canadian goods and resources.

Port Metro Vancouver is federally man-dated to support Canada’s trade objec-tives and provide a high level of safety and environmental protection. Despite plans to maximize the ability of current terminals to handle more containers, and working with our colleagues in Prince Ru-pert to understand how much additional capacity their planned expansions will provide, it is clear we will still need more capacity by the mid-2020s.

That’s why we are proposing to build the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, a second container terminal, in deep water

at Roberts Bank in Delta. We recently reached a major milestone when we sub-mitted our Environmental Impact State-ment to federal regulators, who have now made it available for public comment. This comprehensive document captures four years of work by a team of experi-enced professionals conducting scientific studies and consulting with regulators, Aboriginal groups, local government and the public about the potential environ-mental, economic, social, heritage and health effects of the project’s construc-tion and operation.

Like any major infrastructure project, the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project would not be without its effects. How-ever, the conclusion of our assessment is that the effects of the project, following implementation of mitigation, are not likely to significantly affect the environ-ment. Should the project receive ap-proval and be built, we would undertake a robust monitoring program to ensure our proposed mitigation measures are working.

The results of our assessment and our proposed mitigation will be reviewed by a federally-appointed independent panel with final approval resting with the Minis-

ter of the Environment. A panel review is the most stringent

environmental assessment process in Canada. We appreciate the input we’ve received during our consultation to date and we look forward to hearing more from you during the environmental as-sessment.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the project, I invite you to visit portmetrovancouver.com/RBT2 or our Delta Community Office at 5225A Ladner Trunk Road.

In both Canada and the United States, the relatively recent laws controlling the use of electronic communications devices while

driving are enacted on a province-by-province, state-by-state basis. All Canadian provinces and territories now have such laws; this past week, Oklahoma was the latest to join 45 other US states and Washington DC in enacting such laws, eff ective in that state in November 2015.

‘Cellphone driving’ and ‘texting-while-driving’ laws are provincial or state-based rules, and there are enough diff erences to make generalizing about them diffi cult. Some states, for example, ban texting while driving without banning talking on a hand held cell phone while driving. Fines and penalties vary from province to province and state to state.

Th at said, however, certain generalizations about this relatively new area of driving safety are emerging as useful guides for every driver whatever provincial or state borders he or she is driving within or crossing. Th e foremost is that, beyond cell phone talking or texting, any distracted driving behaviour increases the risk for crashing: eating, drinking, reading, hairdressing, applying make-up, selecting music, radio-tuning, child-minding, pet-minding, conversing, etc.

And yet the allure of ‘your car’ as ‘your road castle’, your living room or dining room or offi ce or entertainment centre on four wheels is more than an irresistible phantasmagoria. Car designers and manufacturers have purposefully designed and marketed your vehicle to provide this extra

‘functionality’. It takes vigilance to stay focused on what should be every driver’s number one goal: to pay attention to the road.

Driving while talking on a cell phone or texting is, however, proving to be amongst the riskiest distracted driving behaviours. Th ere are many reasons for this. Young drivers are inexperienced drivers but habitual cell phone users. Habitual behaviours are hard to control. Driving inexperience can translate into miscalculations of speed and distance travelled. Reportedly, studies show that cellphone talking and texting take the ‘longest mind/eyes-off -the-road time of all distracted driving activities.’

We are also told that studies show that fi ve seconds is the minimal time in which texting and driving distracts from road focus. In fi ve seconds, at 88.5 kph (55 mph), a vehicle travels the length of a football fi eld.

Th e important distinction in the laws as they are currently written between hands-free and hand-held usage is not substantiated in the “studies”. Either way, talking on the phone takes your mind off the road.

Enforcement of these new laws is diffi cult and, even though when surveyed, most drivers say texting and driving is socially unacceptable, more than 20 percent also admit to doing it anyway. Most people would say both behaviours are prevalent.

Most people expect no legal consequences for non-compliance. Real consequences, can, however, be horrifi c beyond wildest imagining. Hence the need, not to worry about mastering the details of the rules but rather to remember this simple general rule: Don’t ever text while driving, even when stopped at a stoplight. If you must use your phone, to comply with the laws in the majority of jurisdictions use it ‘hands-free’ and be brief.

Is nothing sacred anymore? Depends on the WillIt is common for Trusts to be created in Wills. For example, if a person making a Will has young children or grandchildren, they may feel it is inappropriate to give a young person a large amount of money, so instead they will create a trust. Th e funds are invested, and once the (grand)child reaches a certain age, they receive all the money in the trust.

Last week, reasons for judgment were released in the case Fargey v. Fargey. Here, a young adult (aged 23) applied for an Order terminating a trust early. Th e trust allowed the adult income from the trust until age 25, when the entire fund would then transfer to him. Th e Court agreed, stating that the Trust was already “vested” in him and he was above the age of majority.

We may see a lot more of this legal action in the coming years, as the tax rules on accumulating funds in trusts have changed.

Companies fined for workplace hazardsby Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

More than half a dozen lo-cal firms have been fined for workplace-related safety vio-lations by WorkSafeBC.

Best Choice Roofing Ltd. was fined $5,000 when Work-SafeBC observed two of the company’s workers tiling the roof of a two-storey garage in the back yard of a house that was under construction.

“Both workers were wear-ing fall protection harnesses, but neither was connected to a lifeline,” according to the WorkSafeBC report. The work-ers were exposed to a risk of falling about four metres.

Colin James Rallings/CLTC Contracting was fined $2,500 in relation to its hazardous material abatement work.

WorkSafeBC inspected two of its worksites and found unsafe practices related to asbestos abatement and dis-posal.

“Both times, the firm was ordered to submit a written Notice of Compliance outlin-

ing the corrective measures it would take to eliminate these deficiencies and both times the firm failed to do so,” the WorkSafeBC report said.

Emporio Construction was fined $1,000 in relation to a workplace accident in which a worker lost his footing and fell three metres to a con-crete floor, suffering serious injuries.

“Medical aid was only sum-moned when an unexpected visitor to the site happened to see the injured worker ly-ing on the floor,” the report said. “WorkSafeBC’s investiga-tion found that Emporio Con-struction had no contract in place with the subcontractor and that it did not conduct regular inspections of the worksite as required.”

Greater Vancouver Roofing & Construction Ltd./GV Roof-ing was fined $7,500 when WorkSafeBC observed five workers on the steep roof of a two-storey house.

“One was unloading bun-dles of shingles delivered by a truck-mounted crane. The other four were apply-ing plywood sheathing, as-phalt roofing and building paper. None of the workers were wearing personal fall protection gear and no other

form of fall protection was in place,” the report said. “The firm is being penalized for repeatedly failing to ensure that a fall protection system was used as required, a high-risk violation.”

Omni Gas Ltd. was fined $7,051.80 for a fall at a two-storey house that was under construction.

Two of the firm’s workers were connecting an air con-ditioning unit in the attic, but the second floor ceiling had not yet been installed and no work platforms were avail-able, so workers were instead standing on the top plates of walls, on the roof trusses and using a ladder.

“One of the workers lost his footing and fell more than three metres, sustaining seri-ous injuries.

“Medical aid was only sum-moned when an unexpected visitor to the site happened to see the injured workers lying on the floor. After para-medics removed the injured worker, the scene ws no se-cured as required after a seri-ous accident, but rather was cleaned up.”

Shawn Roofing Ltd. was fined $5,000 for a repeated and high-risk violation of fall protection procedures at a

Richmond house construc-tion project.

The firm’s workers were working on a moderate to steep sloped roof, and no fall protection was used, expos-ing workers to a risk of falling as much as eight metres.

At another new house construction project in Co-quitlam, two of the firm’s workers were installing an asphalt shingle roof, without fall protection equipment that exposed workres to a risk of falling up to nine metres.

Shawn Roofing Ltd. was also fined $7,500 for work related to a two-storey house that was under construction.

“One worker was wearing a fall protection harness but was not connected to a life-line. The other did not have a harness. No other form of fall protection was in place.”

Topsong Industries Inc. was fined $5,000 in relation to three of its workers who were performing re-roofing tasks on a two-storey house.

“All three were wearing fall protection harnesses but none was connected to a lifeline, even though lifelines and anchor points were avail-able on the roof.

Wei Dong Wu was fined

$2,500 when WorkSafeBC observed a representative of the firm, and one of its work-ers, performing a re-roofing activity.

“Neither was using personal fall protection gear and no other form of fall protection was in place,” the report said.

PMH Contracting Ltd. was fined $2,922.60 in relation to hazardous material abate-ment work it was doing.

“An investigation by Work-SafeBC found that the firm had failed to use high-risk abatement procedures for the demolition as required if vermiculite is present...Over-all the firm failed to ensure that vermiculite was safely re-moved from the site, thereby endangering the health and safety of its own workers and those of other firms. Thesewere repeated violations.”

news

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

Members of the B.C. Nurses’ Union brought a sea of pink umbrellas to the B.C. legisla-ture Thursday to call on the B.C. government to honour a provision that requires health authorities to replace

absent nurses.BCNU president Gayle Du-

teil said 2012 contract provi-sion replacing absent nurses can’t be implemented with-out more registered nurses hired to provide the relief.

“It’s a sad fact that we don’t have enough nurses to deliv-er safe care for meeting the

staffing mandated by our collective agreement,” Duteil said. “We don’t have enough nurses to backfill vacancies, to backfill absences, and we don’t have enough nurses to meet the daily spikes in acuity.”

The recent settlement of 1,600 union grievances for

staffing includes $5 million for specialty nurse training, $1 million to support increasedRN staffing and $2 million in “grievance settlement funds”paid to nurses affected bystaffing shortages. The staff-ing fund is available to licensed practical nurses who want toupgrade their training.

New campaign aims to get food out of landfill

by Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver residents waste a lot of food and the regional district is launching a new campaign to prod them to do better.

The Love Food Hate Waste campaign, found online at lovefoodhatewaste.ca, mirrors a suc-cessful British initiative credited with cutting food waste 21 per cent over five years.

Metro officials hope to achieve similar gains here by offering similar tips and ideas on how to improve how we buy, use and store food to make it last longer and use it more efficiently.

The regional district estimates 100,000 tonnes per year of food, beverage and dairy products are tossed out that should have been used.

Food wasted in an average day in the region consists of 80,000 potatoes, 26,000 bananas,

70,000 cups of milk and 32,000 loaves of bread.

That doesn’t count another 90,000 tonnesper year of unavoidable food waste that’s con-sidered inedible,like meat bones, egg shellsand pineapple skins, all of which is supposedto go in organic food waste bins.

Metro got 500 households to completekitchen diaries tracking what they bought, ate and tossed last November.

Nearly half the food disposed was tossed be-cause residents bought too much, didn’t use itin time or either cooked or served too much.

Metro estimates the lack of efficient mealplanning behind that adds up to $700 worthof food being wasted per household each year.

Despite the region’s organic waste dumping ban and curbside green bin pickup, 30,000tonnes of avoidable food waste is estimatedto be going into landfills where it generatesmethane.

Had it been eaten, Metro estimates the car-bon emission reductions would have beenequivalent to taking 2,000 cars off the road.

TransLink payment card rolls out to WCE, U-Pass students

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

TransLink will likely abandon its zone system and tap-out requirement for buses and charge all bus riders for one zone only when it eventually rolls out the rest of its delayed Compass card program.

There’s no final date set yet to fully activate the faregates and smart card system, which was mandated by the provin-cial government seven years ago and supposed to have been operational by fall of 2013.

It’s been bedevilled by tech-nical problems ranging from slow, error-prone card valida-tors on buses to website defi-ciencies.

But officials announced Thursday they’re taking an-other step forward by rolling Compass out to all West Coast Express users in June and to all university students with U-Passes by the end of summer, boosting the number of users by September to to 220,000 out of an eventual 850,000.

The biggest roadblocks to a full launch have been the slow read times to tap in and out on buses –slowing down service – and the fear that many passengers will fail to tap out when exiting and be overcharged.

Three quarters of Metro Vancouver bus riders travel only one zone but would be charged the default three zones if they fail to tap out.

Communications vice-pres-ident Colleen Brennan said charging for one zone only on buses – effectively forgoing the extra zone charges that a quarter of bus passengers now pay on routes that span two or three zones –appears to be the best way to solve the bus system problems.

Passengers would still be asked to tap out but it wouldn’t be mandatory and they wouldn’t be charged more if they fail to do so.

“The solution that makes the most sense would be to go to a single zone on an in-terim basis on the bus during peak periods,” Brennan said. “That’s looking like the sim-plest option that would make it simplest for our customers as well. So that’s the one that we are exploring.”

In any event, it’s not clear how TransLink would have been able to stop bus passen-gers on two- or three-zone routes from tapping the exit validator early on their trip

and paying only one zone anyway.

TransLink officials weren’t able to provide an estimate of how much extra-zone rev-enue might be lost as a result.

But it would presumably mean a transit price break for passengers on multi-zone routes, such as buses be-tween South Surrey and the Canada Line or the 555 from north Langley over the Port Mann Bridge to the Millen-nium Line. A trip downtown for those riders might drop from the three-zone cost of

$5.50 to $4 for two zones.Optional bus tap outs would

erode one of the prime ben-efits expected from the Com-pass system –accurate details on the start and end of each trip so TransLink planners can more precisely match route service levels with demand and ultimately shift from the current zones to a distance-based pricing system.

As for the system’s techni-cal performance, Brennan said progress has been made by the U.S. contractor, Cubic Transportation Systems.

A series of photographs of Finn Slough are on display at Richmond City Hall’s galleria.

Passing of Time by Sand Wan is an outreach exhibition of Richmond Art Gallery.

The photographer became pas-sionate about natural landscapes

after immigrating to Canada, and since 2012 Wan has been photo-graphing the aging South Richmond settlement.

According to Wan, Finn Slough has “unimaginable and primitive beauty that is both simple and compelling.”

“This untamed and carefree spirit

focuses my eyes and captures my heart. In my soul, I have a quiet force expressing my feelings for this piece of land,” according to his translated artist statement.

The images can be viewed at Richmond City Hall weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Three Richmond women will feel right at home as they compete for the title of Miss World Canada on Saturday.

Hugh Boyd grad Sachi Mahadeo joins Veronica Wen and Cynthia Zhou during the national finals to be held at Queen Eliza-beth Theatre in Downtown Vancouver this weekend.

For Mahadeo, the road to the event has been paved by hardships she’s had to overcome and made her the resilient person she is today.

Mahadeo lost her mother in 2007, when she died unexpectedly in hospital, and her father died just a few weeks later.

Dealing with the loss of both her parents triggered a bout with depression and she developed a panic disorder.

While she supports Miss World Canada’s chosen charity, Variety—The Chil-dren’s Charity, the cause that’s close to her heart is mental illness.

“I want to encourage others to get help, speak about it, and keep trying even if you feel hesitant.Talk to your family doctor if you can’t speak to your family,” she said.

After seeking profession-al help, Mahadeo said she’s better able to cope with her panic disorder, and she’s hoping to end the social stigma that exists around mental illness.

Mahadeo, 27, graduated

from the University of Toronto with an honour’s degree in a specialist pro-gram for human resources. She also has a certificate in fashion styling from the Toronto Fashion Academy.

“Miss World Canada will provide me with a plat-form to bring more aware-ness to help eliminate the stigma of mentall illness and be an example, that it can get better or even be curable in time,” Mahadeo said.

Wen is a local resident and is originally from China.

This isn’t the 19-year-old’s first beauty pageant.

She was first runner-up in the 6th China International Advertising Model Compe-tition.

Outside of modeling, she enjoys singing too—having reached the final of The Water Cube Cup singing competition—and art, winning a gold medal in the International Angel Cup painting competition.

Zhou, 17, had to over-come a language barrier to become one of the top students in her school, achieving honour-roll status since entering high school.

She lives in Richmondand is a student at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary in Vancouver, where she’s en-rolled in the International Baccalaureate program.

Zhou enjoys graphic design, and has designed numerous logos, posters, cards and even a magazine for various organizations and companies.

The Richmond Youth Hon-our Choir shared some of their memories of their trip to Wakayama, Japan by singing songs used on their tour dur-ing their season end concert on Saturday, May 9.

The choir had gone to Japan for 10 days in March to sing with the Wakayama Children’s Choir, who visited Richmond in 2013 and performed with the choir. The purpose of that trip was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the sister city re-lationship between Richmond and Wakayama.

“Music is clearly a wonderful way to break down walls, heal broken hearts, develop and strengthen friendships,” artis-tic director Heidi Epp said in an excerpt from the concert’s pro-gram. “We reach out to each other, connecting through time and space when we sing each other’s stories. That is not always an easy or simple thing to do, especially when they are painful stories, like ‘Lullaby for Hiroshima.’ Still, by giving them voice in song we can empathize and express care and respect for each other.”

The concert at Peace Menno-nite Church, entitled “Notes Be-

tween Friends,” featured songs of friendship, songs from Anne of Green Gables, Toy Story, and a Japanese folk song among others.

The Prelude choir performed “Ice-Cream” and “Kindred Spirits” from Anne of Green Gables: The Musical while the Chamber and Debut choir performed “Listen to the Mu-sic,” their own commissioned piece by Vancouver composer

Timothy Corlis. The Chamber choir per-

formed Bruno Mars’ “Count On Me,” and Toy Story’s “You’ve Got a Friend.” The choir performed “Ki’nan’askom Tinan,” a Cree Honour song by Richmond composer Mary Fontaine.

The Wakayama choir learned “Kompira Fune, Fune,” a tradi-tional Japanese folk song, and “Lullaby for Hiroshima,” a song performed in both English and

Japanese, and commissioned for the opening of the Hiroshi-ma exhibit at UBC’s Museum of Anthropology a few years ago.

Another piece was “Malala, Pakistani Girl,” which was bylocal composer, Larry Nickel.

The concert ended with“Stand By Me,” a popular song from the tour, with JamesGill as a soloist and audience members standing up and grooving along.

Hospital home to high-calibre health care team

A little known fact about Richmond Hospital is that

we have a team of urol-ogy superstars in our midst.

Urological diseases and conditions, which include prostate cancer—the most common cancer in men—kidney and bladder cancers, kidney stones and complex urinary tract infections, touch us all. At Richmond

Hospital we are extremely fortunate to have a true world-class team of urolo-gists who provide care for men and women of all ages.

Comprised of four dynamic and highly talented experts with extensive subspecial-ties, all sought out for their surgical care and receive referrals from other doctors from around the province.

I would like to introduce you to Dr. Daniel Rapo-port. Dr. Rapoport gradu-ated from the UBC Urology Residency Program in 2008, completed a fellowship at the internationally re-nowned Duke University in North Carolina and returned home to B.C. He is a gifted surgeon and is also inter-nationally renowned for his subspecialty interest in reconstructive surgery fol-lowing trauma such as spinal cord injuries or damage from radiation therapy to treat cancers.

Along with his talented colleagues, Dr. Ken Poon, Dr. Kiara Hennessey and Dr. Corrie Krahn, he has chosen to make Richmond Hospital his home because of the high-calibre health

care team here and the best surgical equipment and facilities, made possible with the help of donors. Here is Dr. Rapoport:

“Urology really appealed to me. I saw there was a need for this type of care, and it’s personally rewarding to make such a big differ-ence in the lives of so many patients.

“I treat people from all over the province, but certainly many are from Richmond. There’s a real mix of ages and my patients are both men and women who re-quire care for a wide variety of diseases and conditions, many of which are life-threatening or life-changing. Whether it’s surgeries for patients with prostate, kidney and bladder cancers, procedures for kidney and urinary tract stones, or treat-ment for complex urinary tract infections, there’s not a lot we can’t do here.

“Richmond Hospital is a great hospital. There’s a col-legial feel here, and we have a terrific community of sup-port. People go to bat for us here. It’s a very progressive environment. As surgeons,

we have brought all of our subspecialties here to develop the best possible care and Richmond Hospital has been very supportive of that.

“It’s an exciting future for urology patients. In general, there’s an evolution towards having more minimally inva-sive procedures and shorter hospital stays as well as more day procedures where possible. That’s something we look forward to.

“We set high standards for ourselves. We always want to ensure we provide the highest level of care, and we’re grateful to donors who help optimize the way we do things.

“Donors help ensure we have the state-of-the-art medical equipment and facilities. That, in turn, helps us attract and retain the expertise necessary to provide the very best care to the community of Richmond and beyond.”

Natalie D. Meixner is presi-dent and CEO of Richmond Hospital Foundation. See www.richmondhospital foundation.com for info.

How do I know when the exterior of my home is in need of painting?

Late spring is definitely the time of year where we start to venture out in to our yards and as we do so we start to take stock of the necessary maintenance issues for our homes this summer. One of the most critical

things to take note of is the condition of your exterior paint job. Paint, of course, has an aesthetic purpose, but most importantly, it is a protective coating that ensures the longevity of your substrate.

Here are the most common examples - or things to be on the lookout for:

1) Blistering & Peeling. Look for small blisters, flaking and peeling paint. The most common areas to inspect for failures are the fascia/gable ends, window casings, door frames and any horizontal surfaces where water can sit. Any flaking paint is a serious issue requiring immediate attention.

2) Chalking. It is the formation of fine powder on the surface of the paint film due to weathering. You can easily test for this by running your hand along the wall and seeing how much dust/chalk is left on your hand. Excessive chalking is a sign that your paint job is nearing the end of its lifespan.

3) Fading. Excessive fading, just like your favorite black t-shirt, is a clear sign of the paint job breaking down by the effects of the sun. A latex product is best for good long lasting color retention.

4) Mildew & Mold. Although this is not always a sign for painting, it is a smart preventative measure to have the substrates on your house cleaned correctly, as to not allow the mildew and mold to deteriorate your protective coating.

A: The terms barbecuing and grilling and are often used interchangeably but they’re actually two distinct cooking methods. Each uses similar tools and yet can produce food with very different textures and fl avours.GrillingGrilling usually involves the use of direct heat to cook small, tender pieces of food quickly over medium to high heat on a gas or charcoal grill. The direct heat sears the food, giving it a fl avourful, charred exterior. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and chicken, for example, are grilled almost exclusively over direct heat.Barbecuing/BBQBarbecuing uses indirect heat. The heat source does not cook the food directly but instead warms the air around the food for a long slow cook making the larger, tougher pieces of meat tender without drying them out. Although Barbecued food is best when cooked with a specially designed cooker, or smoker, you can also barbecue using charcoal grills and gas grills. To do so, you can add be creative and add commercially available fl avoured smoke chips to the cooker which will add the fl avour that one would expect from a smoker.The Richmond Firebox has quality charcoal and gas grills available and we’d be happy to show you how to best experience the world of barbecuing and grilling in your back yard.

Xylitol is a non-fermentable, 5-carbon sugar alcohol and since cavity causing bacteria can’t metabolize it, they can’t use it as an energy source like their preferred 6-carbon sugars or disaccharides. It is derived from

sources like birch tree sap or yeast cell fermentation by-products of fruits and vegetables (e.g. corn cobs). Xylitol has a very low glycemic index (almost 12 times less than glucose), has no known toxicity or carcinogenicity and is approved by the US FDA and Health Canada.Xylitol works to reduce dental cavities in three ways. First, oral bacteria can’t use it to produce damage causing acids since they can’t digest it. Secondly, it actually causes the problem bacteria to starve therefore reducing overall bacteria levels, the amount of dental plaque, as well as, the number of bacteria in the plaque. Thirdly, because of its sweet taste it helps stimulate saliva flow with more salivary calcium available to help re-mineralize damaged tooth enamel. In addition, in the presence of even small amounts of fluoride, xylitol potentiates the strengthening effects of fluoride on enamel.Xylitol looks and tastes just like regular table sugar. It actually, also, is produced naturally in our bodies – up to 15 grams per day in the average adult. It is most effectively used in small amounts (as in gum, mints or candy) after snacks or meals. The one downside to xylitol use and why it is usually limited to professional dental care and prescription-grade products, is its cost, which is 5-6 times more expensive than most over the counter dental product sweeteners, such as sorbitol. Also, a minimum concentration of 10% is needed to produce a “therapeutic dose”. Often products containing xylitol don’t state this on their labels.

Why do products containing Xylitol sweetener help reduce dental cavities?

Q: Our strata is considering replacing our heating boilers with more efficient ones. Do you do this type of work? Are there any incentives for Strata’s? Andy, Strata President

A: Hi Andy. We work for numerous Strata complexes throughout the lower mainland. Over the last several years, many strata’s have been faced with the decision to simply replace their boilers with the same inefficient units, or opt to have high efficient ones installed. Typically, the decision is based on one time cost, but a better way of looking at it is, “what will it cost over the long term.” Through Fortis BC, a strata can receive thousands of dollars in rebates by replacing their inefficient boilers with new high efficient ones. A prequalification process needs to be initiated by your registered gas contractor. Based on qualifying boilers & btu ratings, Fortis will then let us know the amount of the rebate offered.This is a great way to offset the initial one-time cost, and reap the benefits long term, as you will see very significant reductions in your natural gas bill.Rebates are paid directly to the Strata.

Q: Can a chiropractor help with neck pain and numbness in the forearm?

A: A chiropractic examination would be of great benefit. We want to determine if the neck pain is being caused by subluxations or misalignments of the vertebrae in the neck. When this occurs the subluxations can cause nerve irritation and affect the nerves where they travel. In the lower part of the neck the nerves come together as a group and travel down the arm to the fingers. So irritation to the nerves in the neck can refer pain or tingling or numbness down the forearm and/or into the fingers. Chiropractic adjustment can help to realign the vertebrae and reduce the nerve pressure and irritation to help the body to heal naturally over time. Call our office for a complementary consultation to determine how we can help you.

Q: Who is the Client when an Appraisal Service is ordered?

A: Often the Lender /Broker will order the appraisal from the Appraiser but the fee is paid by the home owner and in this case the Lender/Broker is the Client. Appraisers work on a confidential basis with their clients (known as client-appraiser relationship), in the same fashion as other professionals such as lawyers and accountants. When a mortgage broker or lender requests an appraisal, they are the appraiser’s client, regardless of who pays the appraisal fee.

Under the Appraisal Institute of Canada’s Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, any discussions on or disclosure of information contained in an appraisal report must be done with the written consent of the appraiser’s client. When a lending institution requires an appraisal report on a property, more commonly, they will engage an Appraisal Management Company (AMC) to act as an intermediary to facilitate the appraisal process on their behalf. If written authorization is received, the appraisal must be edited & redacted if made available to a third party(homeowner) in order to comply with Privacy rules -PIPEDA.

Q: How often should my child have an eye exam?

A: According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age.

Children then should receive additional eye exams at 3 years of age, and just before they enter kindergarten or the first grade at about age 5 or 6 and then yearly.

Eye exams for children are extremely important. Experts say 5 to 10 percent of pre-schoolers and 25 per cent of school-aged children have vision problems. Early identification of a child’s vision problem is crucial because, if left untreated, some childhood vision problems can cause permanent vision loss.

Children who need eyeglasses or contact lenses should be examined annually or according to their eye doctor’s recommendations.

Q: For the last year I have been buying from the Royal Canadian Mint all the $20.00 for $20.00, $50.00 for $50.00, $100.00 and even the new $200.00 for

$200.00. How likely is it to find coins or banknotes in you change that have extra value or potential for extra value? I figured that it would be a nice collection and if I ever needed money I could just cash them in. Last week I needed money and I went to the bank that I have been dealing with for 20 years and they told me that they would not take them. They sent me to another Coin / Money Exchange who then sent me to you at Western Coins & Stamp. However even you would not buy them. What is going on? Are they not money?

A: Actually it is not real money. I tried to explain this to you verbally but hopefully it makes more sense in writing.

With these silver $20 ,50, 100 & 200 pieces the Mint allows you to phone up and order these. They put them in a fancy packaging, mail them to you with free postage and allow you to charge them on you credit card.

Try and do that same purchase using a bank instead. Ask your bank for a brand new $20.00 bill to be put in a fancy holder, mail it to you with no postage charged, and tell them you want to charge this on your credit card.

If they do not hang up on you, they will probably laugh. In each of those medallions/coins the Mint charges 4 times the actual silver value. Again, that is FOUR TIMES THE ACTUAL SILVER VALUE!

The way the Mint makes money on these is by the purchasers keeping the medallion/coin and never attempting to turn them in.

If there was a run on redemptions the Mint would lose a lot of money because of their costs.

Free packaging, free postage and credit card costs all have to come out of that so called face value.

Q: My home has aluminum wiring. Can I safely update my receptacles and switches?

A: Many homes built from the mid 60’s to late 70’s have electrical systems installed using aluminum wiring. It is considered safe if it is properly installed and maintained. One of the most common causes of electrical fires in the home is homeowner or handyman “upgrades”.

Only devices that are marked “CO/ALR” are approved for aluminum wiring. Most outlets and switches available today are not compatible or approved for aluminum wiring. For this reason the wires must first be “pigtailed” (spliced to a copper wire) using approved connectors and methods. The new devices can then be safely installed.

Hire a qualified, licensed electrician with a proven background in aluminum wiring upgrades to ensure a proper and safe installation.

Q: What does the average funeral cost?

A: Like other professional services (legal, dental, medical) the costs depend on the services, merchandise and final disposition method that the family chooses.

Each service planned is as unique as the family that makes the arrangements. The same can be said for cemetery products.

There are many variables and options that the family can chose from. Only when all options are presented, can a cost be determined.

By provincial law, all funeral providers must supply an itemized copy of their price list to the consumer.

Now it is off to the Senate where the Senate Liberals have snubbed their noses at Trudeau and are going to vote against it. Are we confused yet? However, seeing as the Senate is plugged with jack booted Harper Cons, who are not paid for any kind of a sober second thought, Bill C-51 will pass and promptly land in her Majesty’s lap.

The Harper government is long on ideology, short on evidentiary decision making, and profoundly disturbing in its penchant for being a scientist muzzling, ultra-controlling secretive government with decidedly un-Canadian neo/Theo-conservative values. I hope people are waking up to this fact, and they certainly are in Alberta.

The Richmond 2003B Islanders honoured their moms Sunday by winning their sec-ond gold in as many weekends at the 12-team North Delta invitational.

Buoyed by the late additions of Kyla Sagerte and Emma Hawthorne, called up from the under-12 Dragons due to injury in illness, the Isles capped another domi-nant performance with a 12-1 final-game victory over the Surrey Storm 03. With stel-lar pitching supported by strong defence, Richmond handed Surrey its first loss of the season.

The Islanders outscored their oppo-nents 38-10 in going 3-1 in round-robin play. Their only loss was a 3-1 setback to the Storm. In the playoffs, the Island-

ers blanked Lakehill Blue Rebels 11-0 and doubled Vancouver Wildcats 8-4.

Sunday’s championship game was tied 1-1 after two innings before the Isles’ batscame to life in the third. With two away,Chole Maher hit a double and Gabi Papil-lion and Emily Smith followed with sin-gless. Shae Sever then contributed a dou-ble before Sarah Dawson, after taking a walk, came home on a hit by Emma Knapp. capping a five-run inning. The plate power continued in the fourth with consecutive singles by Taryn Hill, Kayla Baxter, JJ Leung and Kaitlyn Eng. A sacrifice bunt by Sagert moved the girls around and the top of the order finished off the inning for anotherfive runs.

If we were home toMajor League Baseball

Just sayingDon Fennell

All the talk lately about Seattle seemingly on a

very short list for a Na-tional Hockey League franchise in the near future, elicits memo-ries of the Vancouver Grizzlies and how much our community misses professional basketball.

That ship has sailed, of course, and the Grizzlies are now a very successful team based in Memphis, Tenn., and in the midst of the NBA playoffs. Maybe one day we’ll get another

shot at being home to an NBA team, but enough about that. It’s just too darn depressing.

So, how does the idea of Canada’s West Coast metropolis becoming home to a Major League Baseball team strike you? It’s only a figment of one’s imagination right now, of course. And there’s been no indication Major League Baseball is poised to expand. But you have to imagine they’re listening, so who knows what the future might bring?

With its strong owner-ship and affiliation with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Vancouver Canadians have morphed into one of the consistently most success-ful clubs in minor league ball. Venerable Nat Bailey Stadium is a popular destination to spend a summer evening, and is constantly expanding its seating capacity to meet the growing demand. How much of that interest is a result of the beautiful old ballpark, or the entertain-ment of baseball and the success of the C’s can be debated. Likely, it’s a combination of both those factors. But it sure seems like Major League Baseball could succeed locally.

After all, there’s a built-in natural rivalry that would instantly be spawned

with the Seattle Mariners, whose home is just a few hours south of the border.

What’s more, however, Canada’s West Coast has a proven track record of being a major league city. The support for the Vancouver Canucks is off the charts, and among the best in pro sports.

And with a growing population, and an ever-increasing influx of new money, there are more reasons than not to think the time is now.

There’s already plenty of interest in baseball throughout the province, and an impressive list of British Columbians who have not only made the Major Leagues but have become some of the game’s best players. The list includes Brett Lawrie, Adam Loewen, Justin Mor-neau and Jeff Francis.

And that’s just for start-ers.

Imagine, too, how much youth baseball could benefit from the presence of a Major League Baseball team here. And how many more ball players the province could send to the pros. More importantly, imagine how many more ball players there would be, inspired simply by the dream and the chance to be one of the Boys of Summer.

Silver’s not a bad consolation prize as the Richmond Islanders 2001B girls’ fastball team can attest.

In a competitive seven-team tournament in Langford last weekend, the local team earned the greyish-coloured medals following a 4-0 loss to the South Delta Invaders in a well-played final Sunday.

After a shaky start in which they fell behind 3-0 in the first inning, Richmond pitcher Izy Wick came on in the fourth inning and held the Invaders scoreless over the last three innings to give her team the chance of a comeback. But de-spite threatening all game, with runners on base in five of the six innings, Richmond failed to pro-duce a timely hit and left seven

runners stranded.Richmond went into the play-

offs as the No. 1 seed after going 4-0 in round-robin play. The Isles defeated Nanaimo Diamonds 11-2, Parksville Rage 5-0, Nanai-mo Breakers 6-1 and Langford Lightning 13-3.

In their lone semifinal playoff game, Richmond outscored Parksville 9-2 with the mercy rule invoked after 4 ½ innings. The Rage actually led the game 2-0 after an inning before Isles’ pitcher Megan Saez Co settled into a groove and struck out the side in the top of the sec-ond. The Islanders responded to Saez Co’s effort by racking up nine hits, five walks and scoring nine times over the next three innings. Saez Co finished the game with 10 strikeouts.

Coached by Greg Dee, Jeff Collins and Betson Saez Co , the Richmond Islanders 2001B girls’ softball team (Brianna Baignee, Alex Borbely, Han-nah Collins, Kate Dee, Autaum Hilyer, Tjammie Ko, Jaimie Muller, Asha Pannu, Jessica Ryan, Megan Saez Co, and Izy Wick) earned silver for their efforts at a tournament last weekend in Langford.

In each of the past two seasons, the invitational has proven to be a micro-cosm of the Chuckers’ over-all campaign. Last year the host team won three of four games, but unfortunately dropped the championship game 7-3 to Spruce Grove

(Alberta) in the under-15AAA event. The year beforethey bowed out early af-ter an 8-7 loss to arch-rival White Rock in the tourna-ment’s opening game.

Scheduled to open thisyear’s tournament Thurs-day versus Aldergrove, Richmond was to have Fri-day off before resuming play versus Spruce Groveat 11:45 a.m. Saturday.

Teams are divided intofour pools, who will eachplay a pair of round-robingames before playoffs be-gin Sunday morning. Alsoparticipating are teamsfrom Vancouver, Victoria, Cloverdale, North Island, Abbotsford, Tri-Cities andOkotokos, Alta.

Maddog at home with Powerhouse

by Don FennellSports Editor

Known by her teammates and friends simply as Maddog, Grade 7 Tomekichi Homma El-

ementary School student Madeline Gillis sports a particularly zealous spirit.

Identifiable by the trademark war paint she often wears in athletic competition, from which she draws inspiration, Gillis has faced many challenges in her young life. But in softball she has found solace.

In the past year, the alumni of the Rich-mond Islanders rep program has, along with her family, struggled through her father’s—a former Islander coach—personal battle with cancer. The weight of dealing with such a challenge put incredible weight on a 12-year-old’s narrow shoulders. The external pressure nearly resulted in her quitting the sport altogether and walking away from a passion she has dedicated herself to for eight years.

In January, Gillis in consultation with her family, dediced she would honour a commit-ment to attend the University of Washington spring camp. But upon its completion she would have the family’s full support of any decision regarding her future in the sport.

At the University of Washington, Gil-lis (or Maddog to most Huskies players and coaches) is well known. Mentored by Huskies’ pitcher Kasey Stanchek for the past three years, and encouraged by head coach Heather Tarr who is a personal friend of her dad’s, she found herself competing with some of the best players in the Pacific Northwest and discovering a passion to play again. At the conclusion of the camp, Maddog’s future in the sport would take an unexpected turn.

Recognizing Gillis’ enormous talent and potential, she was asked by Jim Wilkerson, head coach of Bellingham-based Power-house, to consider joining his under-14 girls’ fast pitch team. The Washington team brings together select players from the region.

Powerhouse is an American travel team that provides young athletes the opportunity to improve their softball skills, and compete at the highest level, by participating in tourna-ments throughout Washington, Oregon and Canada.

After a tryout, it was determined by Wilker-son, associate coaches Phil Smith and Austin Wilkerson, and Gillis herself, that not only did Powerhouse need Maddog, but she needed them just as much. And so a Canadian was welcomed to the fold with open arms.

“Maddie has been a great addition to our family. She is a girl with an infectious spirit and passion for the game,” said Wilkerson.

Since joining Powerhouse, Gillis has quickly

become a part of its core group of great athletes. Starting at third base and short-stop, she has become one of its most trusted defenders and when called on has even taken to the mound to pitch. However, Mad-dog has really made her mark batting in the No. 5 spot in the lineup and currently leads the team in runs batted in as well as on-base percentage.

This weekend, wearing her familiar No. 20 jersey, Gillis will enjoy a home-coming of sorts. With Powerhouse crossing the border to compete in the Canadian Pride and Power rep A tournament at Softball City, she will join up with her new teammates in White Rock to compete in an event featuring 45 elite youth teams. Playing at home will be special for Gillis, not only because she’ll be afforded the opportunity to compete against some of the best teams from Canada and the U.S., but also to reunite with some of

her closest friends and former Islanders now playing for the likes of the Renegades, Heat and Storm. Players may play for different teams, but many of the friendships forged as Islanders will be lifelong.

And while Gillis has, already, been offered the opportunity to be part of the 2016 Power-house, she hasn’t ruled out a potential return to Richmond in the future. For now, though, her desire to play softball and the love of the

game is back.“Maddog is one of those special players all

coaches look for,” said Huskies’ coach Tarr, who envisions Gillis earning the University ofWashington’s familiar purple and gold in thefuture.

“Both she and her dad have been a part ofour program for years, and the courage Mad-die showed to continue the pursuit of herdream is inspirational.”

Suiting up for Bellingham-based touring girls’ softball team, Richmond’s Madeline Gillis finds comfort playing the game she loves

Forced to deal with her dad’s fight against cancer, Richmond’s Madeline (Maddog) Gillis verynearly gave up the game of softball. But her commitment to attend a spring camp hosted by the University of Washington Huskies reignited her passion and led her to accept an opportunity to play this season for a touring girls’ softball team based in Bellingham, Wash.

“Maddog is one of those spe-cial players all coaches look

for. Both she and her dad have been a part of our program for years, and the courage Maddie

showed to continue the pursuit of her dream is inspirational.”

Provincial team tryoutsthis weekend in Richmond

by Don FennellSports Editor

High school players from around the province will gather this long weekend in Richmond in what will be the inaugural step toward what they hope will earn them a spot on either the provincial under-16 or under-18 teams.

This will mark the fifth year in a row Football BC has hosted the camp at Minoru Park, part of a process to ultimately select rosters of up to 40 players each.

“Our under-16 team has par-ticipated in a tournament host-

ed by Football Manitoba the last couple years, but that event has now been cancelled,” said Foot-ball BC communications direc-tor Daniel Fung.

As a result, he explained, what event(s) the team will par-ticipate in this year is yet to be determined. However, the un-der-18 team will participate in a tournament in Auburn, Wash. in December following the 2015 high school season.

Fung said camp participants will be playing for more than just spots on the B.C. teams. He said many Canadian inter-university programs including

UBC and Queens will be in at-tendance. Simon Fraser Univer-sity will also have a presence.

In partnership with the B.C. Li-ons, six bursaries in the amount of $1,000 each will also be pre-sented during the camp to play-ers who demonstrate on- andoff-field excellence as well asleadership qualities.

Six-storey wood frame construction comes of age… again

I t’s been more than half a decade since British Columbia gave the green light for six-storey wood

frame construction. Although the new building code raised plenty of eyebrows – and even some ire – when it was introduced in 2009, today an increasing number of developers are embracing the opportunities it creates.

One early adopter was Adera, a Van-couver-based developer long known for its commitment to cutting-edge green building techniques. Adera’s Sail at UBC was the first true six-storey wood frame residence on campus. It was awarded gold for Best Low-Rise Resi-dential in Vancouver/North Shore at the Urban Development Institute’s 2014 Awards for Excellence as well as Best Multi-Family Low-Rise Development in BC at the 2013 Georgie Awards. The company’s newest UBC project, Prodi-gy, is well under construction and sales are brisk.

More Bang for the BuckSo what’s the appeal of wood? For

most homebuyers, a prime consider-ation is the affordability factor.

“A six-storey concrete building will typically cost an additional $60 to $70 per square foot when compared to an equivalent suite in a wood-frame building — which can add up very quickly,” said Al Poettcker, CEO and president of UBC Properties Trust (UBCPT). “Wood frame is an excellent

way to gain 50 per cent more density without significantly changing the final cost to the buyer.”

He added that wood frame buildings provide an interesting aesthetic benefit.

“Six-storey wood frame buildings are not allowed to have any combus-tible materials on the façades,” he said. “So developers use materials such as brick, metal or fibre cement siding like HardiPlank. Often when people stand outside, they can’t tell it’s a wood frame building.”

Quiet Time“Because the weight of two extra

storeys requires more support, there is a lot more wood mass in a six-storey wood frame,” Poettcker said. “So these buildings tend to be quieter.”

Taking this concept a step further, Adera’s newest six-storey wood frame – The Shore in North Vancouver’s Capilano neighbourhood – has intro-duced advanced acoustic technology to reduce sound transmission even more.

“People often think a concrete building is quieter than wood frame,” said Eric Andreasen, Adera’s vice president of marketing and sales. “In fact, an independent sound engineer conducted f ield tests and confirmed this new system has made The Shore the highest performing wood frame building in the province – probably in Canada – equal to or even better than concrete.”

struction,” Poettcker stressed. “But developers have definitely responded with stricter protocols to deal with this outside possibility.”

Vision and HistoryGeller said he’s thrilled with the

rapidly increasing number of six-sto-rey wood frame buildings now found throughout the Lower Mainland. “It is a testament to the legitimacy of this construction approach that Ontario has recently copied BC by allowing six-sto-rey wood frame construction,” he said.

“People have forgotten that many of Vancouver’s original buildings were six-storey, heavy timber construction – just walk through neighbourhoods like Gastown and you’ll see them still there. So you could say it’s like we’re going back to the future.”

Safe and SustainableMichael Geller, architect, developer

and well-known advocate for innova-tion in housing, acknowledges that when the legislation was first in-troduced, many had concerns about wood’s shrinkage over time. “People wondered if it would be exacerbated by adding two extra f loors,” he says. “Now we’re seeing ever increasing use of pre-fab joists and laminated wood prod-ucts, so it’s no longer an issue.”

As a bonus, many of these products also reduce waste because they are made from young, renewable wood.

And here’s something many consum-ers aren’t aware of – but should be. A five- or six-storey residential building is subject to stricter fire suppression regulations than a building of four storeys or less.

“Fires rarely happen during con-
