Tunnel rebuild, bus cuts a tale of two priorities Province begins meetings on new Highway 99 crossing

by Jeff Nagel and Martin van den Hemel Black Press With more than half of the tunnel traffic heading for Richmond, it stands to reason that two of the five public consultation meetings to discuss a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel will be taking place here in the coming weeks.

On Wednesday, the province’s Ministry of Transportation announced it will be seeking public comment on a new Highway 99 crossing of the Fraser River at five open houses in early December in three communities: Richmond, Delta and Surrey.

The first open house is slated for Tuesday, Dec. 4, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Sandman Vancouver Airport Hotel, 10251 St. Edwards Drive. A presentation will be given at 8 p.m.

Another local open house will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Richmond Olympic Oval, 6111 River Rd., with a presentation scheduled for 8 p.m.

Richmond Chamber of Commerce chair Barry Grabowski said the chamber welcomes news that the tunnel will be redeveloped.

“The tunnel is essential to business in Richmond, whether it is goods moving in and out of the city, or employees going to and from work; every minute stuck in traffic results in lost dollars,” Grabowski said.

The existing tunnel has 10 to 15 years of useful life left before major components must be completely replaced, Transportation Minister Mary Polak said.

And since it takes about a decade to plan and build such a project, preliminary work must start now.

“One thing is very clear to us—the status quo is not an option,” Polak said.

A short list of potential replacement options is to be drawn up ahead of more public meetings in the new year.

Originally opened in 1959, the tunnel accommodates about 82,000 vehicles daily, and is congested almost 12 hours per day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to ministry officials. The tunnel’s counter-flow system was put in place in 1981.

High praise from Hollywood for Sockeyes Goalie Wyatt Russell and dad Kurt Russell said Richmond Sockeyes made time here special

by Martin van den Hemel

“That was the time in my life where growth was important, the right kind of growth, and Richmond and the whole setup they had allowed me to do that.”

– Wyatt Russell

Staff Reporter

I

t’s been a decade since Wyatt Russell and his famous Hollywood parents—actors Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn—relocated to the Lower Mainland to support Wyatt’s dream of playing professional hockey.

But it’s life lessons that Wyatt learned as a 16-year-old both on and off the ice with the Richmond Sockeyes organization that continue to stay with him to this day, now that Wyatt has closed the chapter on his professional goaltending career, and is following in his parents’ career footsteps.

With the Richmond Sockeyes celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, the Russells shared with The Richmond Review fond memories of their family’s time in the Lower Mainland.

It was in 2002 when Wyatt made the Richmond Sockeyes roster, as a backup goalie behind Kevin McKay, and under the guiding hand of goaltending coach Paul Fricker.

“For me personally, growing up that season, it was the first time I’d been away from home ever. I was 16 years old and I picked up and moved everything.”

Wyatt didn’t have butterflies at all, he said, as his life revolved around hockey and he never questioned the decision to relocate to north of the border from Los Angeles, where baseball was king.

“Everybody in my family, my dad, my cousin, my grandfather, my great grandfather, they all played baseball and (playing sports is) what I wanted to do. So when I came out to Vancouver...there was nothing about it that scared me because it was something I was supposed to do,” he said.

“Being with (Sockeyes coach) Ron (Johnson), being with Paul (Fricker), having the friends that I had, they were all people that allowed you to do the things that you wanted to do, but at the end of the day, face reality. They didn’t let you wander into the netherworld of what junior hockey can bring some kids if you don’t have the right guidance,” he said.

“And Richmond was, from (Sockeyes owner) Ken Kirby down, was all about developing people, having a good time winning, but winning the right way. And that was really important, and the state of the locker room when I was there reflected that. It was a happy place.

It was a place that...if you were a parent, you’d want your kid to be any and every day of the week.”

The Richmond Sockeyes provided an environment in which Wyatt could grow as a person and as a player.

“That was the time in my life where growth was important, the right kind of growth, and Richmond and the whole setup they had, allowed me to do that, along

with I think everybody else in the locker room...Everybody that I know that played on the Sockeyes, are like to this day great people.

Genuinely awesome people. They were great then, and they’re great now, because of...the environment we’re in.”

Kurt Russell also praised the Sockeyes organization for helping to give his son a first-class junior hockey experience that simply wasn’t replicated anywhere else Wyatt played afterward.

“It was the experience that I would hope any young athlete would have because it turns into something far, far greater, when it’s a great coaching experience, and a great relationship between a coach

and a player,” said Kurt Russell, famous for his lead roles in Escape from New York, The Thing and Captain Ron. “It turns into something far greater than a sport, and how good you get at it. It turns into a life lesson.”

Russell singled out then Sockeyes team owner Ken Kirby, goaltending coach Paul Fricker, and head coach Ron Johnson, for the way they managed the Sockeyes organization.

“The Richmond people, but those three in particular...they couldn’t have been better, it just couldn’t have been a better experience.”

“Paul Fricker was nothing short of brilliant in that capacity, not just as a great goaltending coach, but a

man who looks at life and connects life to the game that’s being played and to the person who’s playing it.

And clearly understands something that in life, one has to understand that no matter what your endeavour...you will play to who you are, you will live your life to who you are. So why not find out who you are first, and start to make the changes early that you want to make, and fight for the things that will make you great, and not start learning how to make excuses for why things don’t go your way.”

Of Johnson, Kurt Russell said: “He had a marvelous experience, for a guy that age, playing for a coach like Ron Johnson, who was quite varied in his approach, a very different approach I think than a lot of coaches, and a great one for a young 16/17 year old.”

Of Kirby, Kurt Russell recalls telling his son back in 2002: “No matter how many teams you play for, I guarantee you’ll have a hard time beating Ken Kirby as the owner of a team.”

After playing in Richmond for two years, Wyatt played in Coquitlam for a year, before playing Junior A in Ontario, and then received a hockey scholarship to a Division 1

NCAA school in Alabama.

With injuries piling up, and his playing days numbered, Wyatt decided to play professionally, first in Germany for a year, and then a year in the Dutch elite league, where he blew out his hip, but met his now girlfriend.

“But that year was the only year I could compare to the Sockeyes, as having just an unbelievably great time with great people in a great place, that had a good environment about it.”

Wyatt said his two years in Richmond will remain with him forever.

“Those two years in Richmond really did inform so much of my life, coming from Paul, coming from Ron, coming from my parents, coming from my friends and my teammates. It informed who I was going to be for pretty much the rest of my life. It was the two most important years in my life, by far, hands down.”

As a Hollywood kid, it wasn’t easy coming to B.C. where “hockey is religion” and “just fit right in,” he said.

Wyatt’s appearance on the team could have been interpreted in many ways, he said, and likely was, with some doubtless questioning whether his parents’ star power helped him secure a roster spot.

But by eventually being part of the on-ice winning, he was able to quiet those whispers in the shadows, and make his parents proud.

“It was because of how (the Richmond Sockeyes) handled my situation, particularly, that allowed me to grow inside the system, grow in British Columbia, and they sheltered me from some of the really bad stuff, stuff that I didn’t even know about at the time, that would have been extremely detrimental because I was a sensitive person,” he said.

“There were people who really, not just suspected, but accused me of being there (because of ) my parents...And that could have made it easy for Richmond to say, ‘We don’t want to deal with that.’”

But Richmond saw through that, and gave Wyatt a chance to prove his worth.

“It was extremely affirming, and the people I have to thank for those two years is the Richmond organization. They allowed me to do that.”

They gave him a chance to fail, over and over again, because they believed in him, Wyatt said.

And for that, he—and his family—will be Sockeyes fans for life.

Capstan shooting had collateral damage Thumb-sized bullet lodged in passerby’s driver’s side door

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Martin van den Hemel photo A teen was shot in the leg during a shooting in the parking lot at Garden City Road and Capstan Way last week. An innocent bystander narrowly avoided injury.

Council Update Why genetically engineered crops are not welcome in Richmond

By Harold Steves When I graduated from the University of British Columbia, I wrote my graduating thesis Harold Steves on creating Councillor hybrids in livestock. Hybrids are created by crossing plants or animals of the same species. They have compatible genetic material.

Genetically engineered (GE) crops are not hybrids. GE crops contain genetic material from other species. If you cross two tomatoes you get another tomato variety — a hybrid. If you use Genetic engineering to cross a tomato with another species, such as Bt bacteria that kills bugs, you get a tomato that kills bugs. Earlier this year, scientists in France reported that some Bt toxins in GE plants can kill human cells. This past May, Poland banned GE corn to protect bee populations from Bt in pollen.

Without bees to pollinate crops, worldwide food security would be threatened. On May 28 Richmond Council voted unanimously to oppose the growth of GE crops in Richmond.

Many of the chemicals used to grow food are harmful to our health, and this has led to a revival of organic agriculture. However,

genetic engineering is taking us in the opposite direction. GE seeds are owned by the same trans-national corporations that profit from the chemicals and fertilizers used on GE crops. Some GE crops are engineered to survive spraying by Roundup weed killer. This makes it easier to kill the weeds, while the crop survives. Crops sprayed with Roundup absorb Roundup residues that enter the food we eat. The unintended consequence of the heavy use of Roundup on so called “Roundup Ready” crops is creating “super-weeds” that Roundup and other poisons cannot kill.

New crops have been genetically engineered to withstand spraying by a much stronger poison, 2-4D, to kill these superweeds. As a result, 2-4-D residues can be expected as the next additive to the food we eat. What deadly new poisons can we expect after that?

Little wonder that organic farmers and gardeners are concerned that pollen from GE crops can blow across the fence to contaminate organic crops. If GE alfalfa is approved in BC, it will be almost impossible for ranchers to produce organic grass fed beef, and animal manures would contaminate organic gardens.

Despite the protests of Croplife, Monsanto and their friends, Richmond Council was right to oppose the growing of GE crops in Richmond.

While the 18-year-old man who was shot in the leg last week in front of a local Japanese restaurant has been released from hospital, a passerby is thanking his lucky stars.

Around 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15, Richmond Mounties responded to reports of shots fired at Garden City Road and Capstan Way, near Manzo Japanese Restaurant.

The teen, who is known to police, was struck in the leg, while a vehicle containing at least one suspect fled the scene.

The Richmond Review has learned that one passerby

thought he heard the sound of firecrackers exploding and teenagers laughing as he went through the intersection.

It wasn’t until some time later that he heard about the shooting and he took a closer look at his vehicle, and then noticed damage to his driver’s side door.

He eventually brought his vehicle in to the Richmond RCMP detachment, where police investigators fished a thumb-sized bullet from the lower half of his door.

A few inches higher, and there easily could have been two victims from that shooting.

Meanwhile, investigators are continuing to look into the incident.

The shooting apparently took place in the parking lot outside Manzo, which was just minutes later scheduled to open for dinner.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212, or if they wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Road work put ahead of transit From Page 1 It’s not yet clear if the new span would be a bridge or a tunnel—or whether it will be tolled.

Other meetings are set for Dec. 1 in Delta, Dec. 6 in Cloverdale and Dec. 10 in South Surrey. For times and locations see www. masseytunnel.ca and click on consultation.

TransLink, meanwhile, is consulting on its plans to further “optimize” service by cutting frequency at some times on some routes in order to boost it on others, where it believes it can serve more riders and pull in more revenue.

There will be winners and losers, depending on where and when passengers travel, and routes across the region are affected.

Transit advocates, who see the two decisions as clashing transportation priorities, say it’s ironic TransLink riders in some areas will soon see less service while planning begins for a costly new

bridge or tunnel megaproject on Highway 99.

Gordon Price, director of Simon Fraser University’s City Program, questions the underlying logic.

He says road and bridge projects are routinely justified by politicians on the basis they save motorists time and therefore money by relieving congestion.

Yet the same calculation isn’t applied to transit service cuts that leave passengers waiting longer, arguably costing them and the economy money.

“Time is treated completely differently,” he said, adding transit delays should also be counted as a cost, and not just as a way of sav-

ing money.

Peter Ladner, part of the Get On Board coalition for transit funding, also calls it a funding double standard that puts road work ahead of transit.

“Where’s the consultation on sustainable funding for transit?” he asked.

“Surely that has to come first.”

City Board What do you think of Richmond’s Dike Master Plan - Phase One?

Richmond firm recognized at Aboriginal Business Awards A Richmond-based aerial survey firm has been recognized at the 2012 B.C. Aboriginal Business Awards.

Kisik Aerial Survey Inc. received an outstanding achievement award in the Business of the Year category (two to 10 person enterprise).

Kisik is the only 100 per cent Aboriginal owned and qualified Aboriginal supplier of aerial survey work in Canada.

The Richmond company was founded by Teara Fraser, whose inspiration to pilot the skies came during a trip to Africa in 2001. After flying her first solo flight in 2002, she obtained her commercial pilot’s licence, and has been flying commercially ever since.

She started Kisik in 2009, and holds the positions of person responsible for maintenance, chief pilot, operations

Friday, November 23, 2012 In a 7-0 vote Monday night, city council approved the new Official Community Plan following a public hearing at city hall.

Richmond seeks input on dyke master plan

The plan, which guides development in Richmond to 2041, envisions Richmond’s population growing by 80,000—to 280,000

residents—in 30 years. Sustainability is key to the new document, which also envisions vehicle trips being cut by nearly half and greater use

of public transit.

The city last updated the plan in 1999. The updated plan took three years to develop.

38th Anniversary Sale Nov. 17-28 • 38 週年慶大特價11月17-28

The city is planning two public open houses where residents can offer opinions on a master plan for Steveston’s dykes.

Richmond has 49 kilometres of dykes, which are integral for flood protection. The dyke master plan will address the long-term future of the dykes and their ability to withstand ocean storm surges, river freshet, rising sea levels and earthquakes—while weighing waterfront accessibility.

Phase 1 of the plan will identify long-term dyke improvements for Steveston and South Richmond.

Preliminary concepts will be on display at open houses scheduled for Dec. 5 and 12. Comments and suggestions on the concept are encouraged.

Open houses take place from 3 to 8 p.m. at Steveston Community Centre, 4111 Moncton St. Detailed information is also available at letstalkrichmond.ca, where comments can also be made.

Families can expect to hear seasonal favourites and songs from her latest album 24 Carrot Diamond: The Best of Charlotte Diamond—a collection of 24 of her best known Charlotte Diamond is returning songs from the to Lansdowne Centre Nov. 24. past 25 years.

Among the songs on the album, easily recognizable to fans: “I am a Pizza,” “La Bamba,” “Octopus (Slippery Fish),” “Dicky Dinosaur” and “Four Hugs a Day.” Diamond, a former junior high school teacher, began singing and writing songs when her own kids came along. She developed a preschool music program, which led to performances at her children’s parent-participation preschool. Word spread and soon Diamond was out with her own independently-released album.

She now has 13 albums to her credit.

The free Nov. 24 concert takes place at Lansdowne Centre’s Kiosk Court.

Rickerby Wealth Group (RWG) is firmly focused on becoming one of the elite investment advice groups in the Lower Mainland.

RWG, working under the TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice umbrella, was launched by industry veteran Shaun Rickerby in 2006 – and now boasts a four-strong team, including former CFL and BC Lions football star, Sean Millington.

The group provides full, comprehensive wealth management – including advice around estate planning, insurance services, and private banking – and typically seeks mature investors with a minimum $300k investment.

“RWG is built on a foundation of transparency and accountability,” says Rickerby. “We work exclusively on a fee-based basis and also provide sophisticated, comprehensive reporting packages to clients – in terms of their portfolio performance – set against a benchmark.

Offering such personalizing, discretionary portfolio management is quite unique.”

Rickerby turned 40 in 2004 and was inspired to shake things up; create something “unique, different and forward-thinking.” He became a Portfolio Manager and restructured and refined his practice – leading to the birth of RWG – then hired football star-turned TV analyst and investment advisor Millington to help beef up the brand.

Millington, a two-time Grey Cup winner and 2010 inductee into the BC Sports Hall of Fame, handles the marketing side of RWG and has helped raise the group’s profile – both through his star power and leveraging this into new ventures, such as his daily early morning segment as a business analyst on Global TV. “Every morning at 6:40 a.m. I give a little market analysis; whatever’s topical in the news that day.” says Millington, who worked as a tunnel analyst for CFL on CBC after hanging up his boots. “We’re also trying to develop the RWG website and get instructional videos posted to supplement our regular audio newsletters.”

Boosted by Millington’s exposure on Global TV – and the group’s rising profile – RWG is actively seeking new clients.

“We do a financial plan, investment policy statement and annual reviews for every client – including detailed performance reporting. We call the package the ”Experience of Shaun”. I wanted to hire another ‘Shaun’ but ended up with a ‘Sean’! Oh well, it still works.”

“Our ambition is for RWG to become a brand that’s a household name – one that’s known for being credible, highly respected and professional both within the industry and in the eyes of the public.”

EDITORIAL: Consider the conditions

A

quick look outside will tell you we’re tightly in the grip of November.

That means rain. Lots of it.

And darkness. Late into the morning and earlier in the afternoon.

It’s a dangerous time of year.

For motorists, and especially for pedestrians.

Statistics from ICBC show almost a third of pedestrian collisions involving injuries or fatalities occur in November, December and January.

A little common sense would go a long way to reducing those numbers.

Like wearing bright clothing, ideally with a reflective strip or two, so motorists can distinguish you through the gloom.

Cross streets using marked, and preferably lit, crosswalks. Motorists peering into the darkness through rain-slicked windshields are already coping with a lot, faded and swamped lane markings, the glare from oncoming headlights; the last thing they’re ready for is a dark figure bolting from the shadows across their path.

When walking along the shoulder, where there are no sidewalks, face oncoming traffic. That way motorists can at least see your face, and you will be able to see what’s coming.

Drivers can also do their part to improve safety during these dark,

Check that all the lights on your vehicle are working, and that the headlights are aimed properly so they don’t blind oncoming cars or

pedestrians. When driving in difficult conditions use the low beams, as the high beams will just reflect the rain or fog, actually making it harder to see.

ICBC stats show more vehicle collisions involving pedestrians occur at this time of year.

I

f you find Premier Christy Clark’s campaign against teen bullying to be superficial or even self-serving, I’ve got news for you. It’s potentially worse than that.

With the greatest respect to the family of Amanda Todd, her tragic case isn’t representative of teen suicide any more than it is typical of high school bullying.

A clearer and more disturbing picture emerges from the latest report of

B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. It’s a survey of 89 child protection cases from 2007 to 2010, where 15 kids killed themselves and the rest inflicted serious self-injury, in some cases repeatedly.

The word “bully” does not appear in the report.

It speaks of domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, addiction, and runaways targeted by street predators. Three quarters of the kids were removed from their homes to protect them from their parents. More than half are aboriginal.

Its key conclusion is that shifting traumatized and mentally ill teens from institutional care to foster homes isn’t working.

Earnest but inadequately trained foster parents and social workers can’t cope with kids who need diagnosis, treatment and supervision.

Without that, kids shuffled through foster homes an average of a dozen

times in three years, with little attachment to home or school. Some were violent, no surprise given their formative years.

I asked Turpel-Lafond about the B.C. government’s recent focus on bullying. She said it’s worthwhile, and there are parallels between Amanda’s case and more common teen suicides. One is isolation at moments of crisis.

“Say you’re a middle-class parent with a child who hasn’t come out of their bedroom in six months, or you have a boy in foster care who’s in his 14th home,” she said. “They both want to kill themselves, so what do you do?”

Ideally, you intervene and get them to a child psychologist. Parents or guardians who can’t afford $150 an hour can wait months for the Ministry of Children and Family Development to arrange it.

And in the meantime, our supposedly family-based foster care system sends

them to school.

“I’m really worried about how [school-based antibullying programs] will affect the most vulnerable kids, because you start anonymously reporting someone as being a bully,” Turpel-Lafond said. “Yeah, we know they’re in the youth justice system. We know they’re troubled.

By the way, they’ve been sexually and physically abused, jumped through 30 foster homes, and now we want to label them again?”

This is not to suggest that the existing B.C. effort isn’t substantial. The ministry reports that there are 2,221 front-line staff positions, of which 219 are currently vacant. It’s notoriously difficult to recruit, train and keep child protection workers, especially in remote communities.

Turpel-Lafond says her latest figures show the child and youth mental health service has 476 staff, with 21 vacancies and a government-wide hiring

freeze. And many of those are doing double duty as community service managers.

Those managers don’t even have reliable data on case loads, she said. They just know they’re overwhelmed and many of the kids aren’t being reached.

This is not about political blame. I can trace this problem back to when Grace McCarthy was children’s minister, and the NDP did no better.

I’ve learned a bit about Riverview and Tranquille, asylums that were closed because of a modern belief that they were inhumane.

At least they offered safety and medical care to even the most damaged people.

Right now our enlightened, progressive society can’t even help most of the kids we know are at high risk.

PAINTING STARTING AT

B.C. SPCA doesn’t compete with the Richmond Animal Protection Society Editor: I would like to dispel some of the misinformation surrounding our location of the B.C. SPCA and respond to a letter from B. Johnston published last Friday.

We are not, nor have ever been “competitors” with Richmond Animal Protection Society, who currently hold the contract with the city for animal control. Regarding our gala, held Nov. 3, 2012, this was planned back in 2011 and we had no way of knowing the Richmond Animal Protection Society was planning a similar event.

With two animal rescue groups in one community, there are bound to be crossovers, but the two organizations did not do this on purpose. Like us, RAPS is placing vulnerable animals in loving homes and we encourage any person thinking of bringing an animal into their home to consider rescue groups as their first adoption option, regardless of that rescue group’s location.

The B.C. SPCA’s role in the community is very different and complementary to the role that

The B.C. SPCA’s role in the community is very different and complementary to the role that RAPS plays.

RAPS plays. We are the only animal welfare organization in B.C. with the mandate and authority to investigate and intervene in cases of animal abuse and neglect and our focus in this location is to provide education, resources and support to Richmond residents to help create humane communities and responsible animal guardianship.

To this end we hold several youth education workshops yearround, adult education seminars, school presentations, in-house educational presentations and much more.

Since we do not have the contract with the City of Rich-

mond, it is correct that we no longer take in surrendered or stray animals in Richmond—we no longer have authority to do that as those are animal control duties that the city pays RAPS to carry out. Instead we have our Drive for Lives Program which helps thousands of animals in our northern shelters find homes in the Lower Mainland. It is a program we are extremely proud of.

With respect to the “high cost” of running our Education and Adoption Centre, we operate with only two staff members supported by a wonderful team of volunteers who help us to care for, and adopt, hundreds of homeless animals each year. All services are funded through donations.

The B.C. SPCA provides a valuable service in the community and we strive to work in a respectful, collaborative and professional way with RAPS and other rescue groups—the animals deserve nothing less from us.

Editor: Re: “Richmond moves closer to new police force.”

Richmond is a unique community with many special attraction for residents and visitors.

I have lived here for more than 34 years and have seen many changes, some good some not so good.

The city is proposing a change in policing, merging with the Vancouver Police Department. Whether renting officers or expertise it will be looked upon as a merger; you will be seeing VPD police cars on the road.

I applaud the city of Richmond for always looking after the people and taxpayers of Richmond. This latest proposal, I think, does not go far enough. I think the city should review all aspects of operation.

Would it be beneficial to merge fire departments and what would the cost saving be? The works yard—could there be savings? Last but not least why not have the City of Richmond and it’s school board merge with the City of

Editor: Among the numerous slogans used to describe Richmond over the years, “Child of the Fraser” would seem to need some modification, due to current events.

With the advent of Harvest Power’s composting facility, I would suggest that future publicity for Richmond use the slogan, “Stinking Richmond.”

I have lived in this city for nearly 50 years, and have seldom before encountered any such nasty and repulsive odours as we have been enduring in the last few months!

When we lived through the her-

ring reduction odours, we could at least console ourselves that it was only for a short time, and so was bearable.

But this latest assault on our olfactory centres is too much!

Why is our clueless city council allowing this travesty to continue?

This is a public nuisance, and as such, should be shut down, until such time as they no longer destroy our atmosphere and quality of life.

Faint hope that this will happen, with the spineless city government we currently endure!

DENTAL IMPLANT ADVANTAGES

There are two major advantages to be noted with dental implants: 1. Improved appearance: In the first year of losing or extracting a tooth you can lose up to 50% of the bone required for a dental implant. If an implant is placed it will stimulate the bone much like the natural root of a tooth and prevent the face from collapsing due to bone loss.

2. Maintaining natural teeth: Dental implants eliminate the need to modify adjacent teeth to replace missing teeth via a bridge.

We start with the very best organic cherries from British Columbia and soak them in liqueur for at least 100 days. Next we hand-dip each cherry again several times in semi-sweet chocolate. Finally we dress the cherries in chocolate shavings. But guess what? Even after all of that, the magic continues. Over time the fruit gradually turns into liquid, and the final result is a delicious adult treat for the holidays.

A word of caution, the pit remains inside the cherry so please be careful when you bite!

Winners and Losers is playing at Gateway Theatre’s Studio B stage until Dec. 1.

The play, created and performed by Marcus Youssef and James Long, was one of three plays featured in Gateway’s SceneFirst 2012 script development project.

The play is a staged conversation between the two actors, who play a game they’ve created called Winners and Losers.

In it they name people places or things and debate whether each is a winner or loser. As each seeks to defeat the other, the debate becomes personal.

They dissect each other’s lives and the cost of what was a friendly competition quickly escalates.

ADVERTORIAL FEATURE

The importance of proper estate planning The importance of proper estate planning cannot be overstated. Estate planning is the act of planning out your financial, legal, and other affairs in ways to ensure that your wishes are followed when you pass away or when you become incapable of making these important decisions on your own. Depending on your needs, your estate planning may be limited to a Will, or it may include a variety of other documents, including: Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Representation Agreements.

Estate planning may appear to be simple because clients know what they want; however, there are often complex issues that can only be spotted by an experienced estate planning lawyer. These issues have to be considered in order to put your plan in place. How you want to structure your affairs will depend on, and often be made more complex by many factors, such as: • your health status and mental capability (e.g. mental health issues, diminished capacity, disabilities, vulnerabilities); • the type of assets you have (e.g. land, bank accounts, business assets, personal assets); • the people you want to benefit or exclude (e.g. family, friends, charities); • the individuals you want to care for (e.g. children, elderly, mentally disabled persons); the family dynamics in place (e.g. common-law or legal marriage, blended family, second marriage, children, step-children); • the potential challenges made by other individuals to change your estate plan after death (e.g. challenges by spouses or adult children); • the applicable law that may affect your estate plan (e.g. company law, tax law, family law and Wills Variation legislation); and • the long-term goals you want to achieveThe above is by no means an exhaustive list, but is meant to provide a sampling of issues that estate planning lawyers must consider in preparing your estate plan. In forming a plan, both positive and negative contingencies need to be considered.

Estate planning lawyers can anticipate many of the future issues which can arise and advise on an estate plan that deals with these contingencies in a way that is satisfactory to you. It is always important to review your plans at least every few years to confirm that they

still adequately reflect your wishes given your present circumstances.

Without having spoken with an estate planning lawyer, you will not know what issues could render your estate plan vulnerable or invalid. Without proper estate planning, estate litigation could be the unfortunate result. Estate litigation typically arises after the estate planner has passed away or has become incapable, leaving the litigation on the shoulders of family members and those left behind. Not only can these disputes take years to resolve, but they are often financially and emotionally draining and may have significant negative impacts on the families involved.

Be cautious of estate planning tools that appear to be “one-size-fits-all.” Proper estate planning is more than filling in the blanks about who gets what. The estate planning lawyers at McQuarrie Hunter LLP will work with you to develop a plan that reflects your instructions and circumstances, and does its best to protect your estate plan from challenges in the future.

Most important, proper estate planning gives you the peace of mind knowing that your affairs are well-organized and “in order”. If you need assistance in creating an estate plan or would like more information, please contact, Kim Floeck or Allison Catherwood of McQuarrie Hunter LLP at 604-581-7001.

A legacy of giving In 1997, Kate decided to make a bequest for undergraduate awards in Medicine: “I couldn’t give a gift in real time, so I thought an estate gift was a good solution,” she explains. “It takes an organization like UBC to find a cure for major diseases like cancer, which is prevalent in our family. If I could contribute towards a cure, even in some small way—well, that would be awesome.”

Kate’s generosity inspired her husband and daughter, who are also members of the UBC community, to follow suit. Robert is an alumnus who has worked in

GWYNETH GUNN 1921-2003 Currently reporting on development pressures in Brazil As Development Liaison Officer for UBC’s Development and Alumni Engagement, Kate Bush knows firsthand how estate gifts to the University help shape the experience of students through financial aid, academic opportunities, and extracurricular initiatives.

“Supporting students and research is such a thrill. I can’t work in a place if I’m not passionate about the cause.”

Plant Operations at UBC for almost 34 years while Laura works in Campus and Community Planning and is pursuing her degree at UBC part time.

As a graduate of Physical Education, Robert plans to leave his bequest to the Athletics Department while Laura’s gift is currently undesignated, so it can be put towards the area of greatest need. “Students come to UBC to figure out who they are,” explains Laura. “You never know—you could be sitting next to someone who cures a major disease, produces a great composition or becomes the next Olympic champion. Students have so much potential, so why not support them?”

Kate, Robert and Laura all agree that financial need shouldn’t bar any student from university. “If my gift helps someone gain access to higher education, that would be great,” says Laura.

“People who undertake university on their own, without the help of parents or scholarship money, have a really hard time,” says Kate. “I like the idea of making someone’s life a little easier.”

“Besides,” adds Robert, “you never know. The money you put towards UBC could benefit you in ways you never thought possible.”

Thank you Gwyneth Gunn, for making what I do possible. Journalism can be an expensive subject to study and the types of stories that I like to cover often mean support gives me the chance to take risks, to get out into the world and do a story that people maybe haven’t heard about.

It’s so inspiring to know that there are people out there who really value the pursuit of knowledge. I hope that some day I am in a position to pass that on and encourage other young people to continue in this profession.

– Lisa Hale, Master of Journalism student

Gwyneth Gunn expressed her passion for education with a bequest to UBC, which today, continues to ensure vital funding for students in the Schools of Journalism and Social Work.

Pub: 604.272.3742 • Liquor Store 778.297.4344 kingswoodpub@gmail.com Irish Celtic and folk band Beoga will perform at the Richmond Olympic Oval Dec. 1.

M

usic fans are forgiven if reading Beoga’s own description prompts question marks: “4 Nordy lads and a Limerick lass beating out the new wave trad dub-step.”

Beoga—Gaelic for lively—is a Celtic quintet making music with the power to summon four-leaf clovers, Irish dancers and pints of Guinness out of accordion air.

On Dec. 1, the pride of Northern Ireland’s County Antrim will perform at the Richmond Olympic Oval as part of the De Danaan Christmas Feis celebration. The three-day event celebrates Gaelic culture through dance, music, theatre and song. That’s where Beoga comes in.

The band came together in 2002 with a sound solidly rooted in Irish tradition. With four albums to its credit, Beoga—in their words—has “expanded the vocabulary of Irish music with a unique accent of its own.”

The band features the duelling accordions of Damian McKee and Seán Óg Graham, pianist Liam Bradley, bodhrán percussionist Eamon Murray and vocalist and fiddler Niamh Dunne.

Vladimir Horowitz’ piano comes to Richmond

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A grand piano whose legendary player captivated audiences for decades will be in Richmond next week as part of a North American tour.

The Steinway and Sons Model D Horowitz piano, a nine-foot grand and one of Steinway’s most revered designs, will be showcased at Tom Lee Music on No. 3 Road from Nov. 27 to Dec. 2.

Robert Silverman plays the Steinway and Sons Model D Horowitz piano at a press conference Nov. 16 in Vancouver. The legendary piano will be in Richmond Nov. 27 to Dec. 2.

Richmond’s Best Kept Secret!

Live Music Every Saturday 4-8pm

Pianists will have the opportunity to play the instrument of the late Vladimir Horowitz for themselves.

“It would be the equivalent of a guitar player coming in, getting to play Jimi Hendrix’s Stratocaster,” said Graham Blank, vice-president of Tom Lee Music.

Blank said a new handmade Steinway concert grand piano is $130,000. This one, however, is priceless.

The piano was known to be a favourite instrument of Horowitz (1903-1989), a clas-

sical American pianist considered one of the greatest of the 20th century. His colourful personality and astounding performances entertained countless audiences.

Steinway and Sons gave a piano to Horowitz and his wife Wanda in 1934 as a wedding present. It was later replaced with a 1941 Steinway, an instrument that Horowitz would play until 1987—two years before his death in 1989. He used the Steinway in many recitals and recordings in the ’70s and ‘80s.

“When Horowitz toured, there were two conditions: he had to have his piano, and he had to have his technician. Otherwise he would not play. He couldn’t control his performance without controlling those two factors,” said Blank.

The piano is all original—except for the key tops, whose original ivory has been replaced with modern plastic—and it still boasts its unique character.

The piano can be seen at Tom Lee Music, 3631 No. 3 Rd., during an open house Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pianists are also welcome to book a free, private appointment to play the piano, have their photo taken with it and receive a special certificate from Nov. 27 to Dec. 2.

DR. MICHAEL QUINN 1917-2005 Currently conducting cognitive research in Barcelona Dr. Quinn’s wonderful gift gave me an opportunity to travel to Europe for the first time and experience the benefits of a new culture and research environment.

With the UBC Vision Lab I have been studying how the brain processes visual information, and with the Multisensory Research Group in Barcelona, Spain I was able to expand this research to include touch. This has uncovered new knowledge about how we process information in our everyday lives.

Understanding how the brain works under normal circumstances is a critical step in ultimately helping those with conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder or Autism. Thank you Dr. Quinn.

GVHBA launches 17th annual campaign to benefit families in need

Collecting Coats for Kids The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is collecting Coats for Kids for the 17th year in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which helps families in need have a great and warm holiday season.

Gently used coats, blankets and clothing can be dropped off at the GVHBA office in Surrey or at 64 locations around the Lower Mainland until Dec. 7.

“Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers

and adults,” says GVHBA Chair Blake Hudema. “I am delighted so many members of our association are participating in this annual initiative.”

Among the locations you can drop off donations are many Black Press publications, developers and other housing industry professionals in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Surrey, Richmond, Vancouver and West Vancouver.

For a full list of participating locations and times when you can drop off donations, visit www.gvhba.org.

is custom-designed for The One, and lends a quiet touch of class to the room.

The large soaker tub (depending on your plan; in some plans you’ll find a glass walk-in shower) is made for relaxing in, while the recessed pot lighting lends the perfect amount of light without being harsh.

Pinnacle is offering several amazing amenities for the owners at The One, including a fitness studio with a yoga room, two large multi-purpose spaces, a children’s play area and an urban

garden. The best feature however may be the outdoor rooftop deck with its infinity pool and gorgeous view of False Creek and the Olympic Village.

“These are hotel-style amenities,” says Kwok.

Buyers will be able to take possession of their home in early 2015.

Homes at The One start at $349,900 for a deluxe one-bedroom. Twobedrooms start at $549,900. For more information, visit www.theoneliving.ca or call 604-874-8368.

Hotel-style amenities in a great location

The One is a Pinnacle of style in False Creek

By Kerry Vital

Southeast False Creek is welcoming some high-end style to the neighbourhood with Pinnacle International’s The One. Perfectly situated to take advantage of all the amazing things Vancouver has to offer, The One offers something for everyone.

“This is the best value with a prestigious west-side address,” says Grace Kwok of Anson Realty Ltd. Located just steps from the Vancouver Seawall, outdoor activity is never far away. Whether you want to hop on your bike, go for a run or rent a kayak at the Creekside Community Centre in the Olympic Village, The One is a paradise for active people.

The community centre also has a boat launch, dragon boating, fitness programs and a dance studio,, and Olympic Village is home to restaurants, shopping and several other amenities.

You are also within walking distance of Granville Island, with its own great shopping, dining and leisure activities.

SkyTrain and water taxi stations are nearby, so commuting can be a breeze.

The Telus World of Science is right around the corner, while Rogers Arena and BC Place are just across the water.

But it’s not just the location that is

bringing people in to the sales centre at Ontario Street and 1st Avenue.

The 241 homes include 215 condominiums, 19 two-level townhomes and seven penthouses.

Every home is spacious, with an openplan layout, nine-foot ceilings and plenty of windows to let the natural light in.

The gourmet kitchens include stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and chic pendant lighting over the breakfast bar. The gas cooktop is perfect for chefs of any calibre, while the wall oven is convenient and ready to whip up anything you desire before your next dinner party. The porcelain tile floor is cool and modern, while the designer cabinetry is fitted with soft-close technology to prevent slamming. The entire room is lit with contemporary recessed pot lighting that easily illuminates your every task.

The master ensuites are luxurious and elegant, with their own designer cabinetry and vanities with a granite/ marble countertop. The vanity mirror

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

McCAFFER, Janette Campbell.

Born August 9, 1924 in Paisley, Scotland and passed away peacefully on November 3, 2012 in Richmond, B.C. She is survived by daughter Sheila and son-in-law Arthur.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the B.C. Cancer Agency or Heart and Stroke Foundation would be gratefully accepted.

A “Celebration of Life” will be held December 15, 2012 at the Richmond Funeral Home from 1-3 p.m.

There are so many people to whom we would like to say “Thank You”. They include Dr. Theissen and Rosemary Cashman at the Cancer Clinic; Home care persons Brenda and Gayle, who made Monday, Wednesday and Fridays special with their chatter, laughter and friendship; neighbour Bette Kronier and family; Leslie’s closest friends Sandy, Penny, Rob, and Maggie, we hope they know how special their visits were which included outings to the casino, coffee shop and the mall; the staff at Richmond Adult Care Centre where Leslie enjoyed her Tuesday visits with newly found friends; Ryan’s extra special friends and their families, and a very special thanks to Dr. Cherl Nagel, her family physician who quickly arranged to have her transferred from home to the Salvation Army Rotary Club Hospice.

A special thanks to the nurses, staff and volunteers at the Hospice who made her last few days comfortable. And an extra special thanks to May Croft of Kelowna, Leslie’s “Momma May” for her love and support over many hard years.

Leslie was a special person. Her legacy is the fine young man she raised. We loved her and will miss her every day.

Thanks to the above and others missed. Thanks from her son Ryan, parents Pearl and Harold Jones, and brother Laurie Jones.

It is with profound sadness that we share the sudden passing of Jordan. He is survived by his father James Price; mother Eva Champagne; brothers Kyle and Josh; sisters Jenny, Grace, Andrea and Laura along with many extended family members.

Jordon grew up in Richmond and graduated from JN Burnett Secondary in January 2011. He played volleyball and basketball; coached and reffed. He completed a pre-apprenticeship program in metal fabrication at BCIT in July 2011. He found his true passion working as an apprentice metal fabricator at Ebco Industries in Richmond.

He was a loving and caring young man who left an indelible mark on all who knew him. He had an infectious laugh and a warm smile and was generous towards everyone he met.

A Celebration of Jordan’s life will be held on Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 1:00 pm at Cedar Park Church, 5300 44th Avenue, Ladner, BC. Reception to follow at Ladner United Church Hall, 4960 48th Avenue, Ladner, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Little House Society in Tsawwassen.

Steveston Barbers inducted into Hall of Fame 75-year-old business honoured by Richmond Chamber of Commerce

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

F

or a business, enduring a generation is an accomplishment. So to last 75 years, and still be going strong, is worthy of Hall of Fame honours.

That’s exactly what Steveston Barbers got Wednesday night at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce’s 35th annual Business Excellence Awards.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie and chamber chair Barry Grabowski officially inducted the longtime local barbershop into the Business Excellence Awards Hall of Fame in front of a full house at River Rock Show Theatre.

In accepting the honour, Iain MacKelworth, Steveston Barbers’ owner for the past 19 years, first offered thanks to his dad.

“Dad taught me everything I knew. He taught me how to cut hair, and he showed me how to do it with these boys, and these boys done me proud,” said MacKelworth, a native of London, England.

“Thanks to everybody here for like looking at us, because we’re

just a little little shop and this is just a major major honour.”

MacKelworth started working at the barbershop in 1990, the year he immigrated to Canada.

He quickly fell in love with Steveston Village.

When the previous owner announced he was ready to move on in 1993, MacKelworth bought the business, which has become his passion.

“I have a great job. I love the constant change in trends, and as a shop we adapt well to the ebb and flow of fashion. We take a lot of pride in our work.”

Steveston Barbers’ staff—who include Ryan Lewis, Ray Tsuji, Jared Provost and Dave Lamoureux—are known for their haircutting talent and ability to shoot the breeze with their wide range of customers.

In July, Steveston Barbers held a 75th anniversary celebration, drawing customers and staff from today and yesterday.

Peter Martyniuk, a Ukranian immigrant, founded the shop in 1937. It was first located on Moncton Street, where Village Rob Newell photo Bikes now is.

Today, Steveston Barbers is lo- Steveston Barbers owner Iain MacKelworth (second from left) and crew receive their award from chamber chair Barry cated at 120-3880 Chatham St. Grabowski (left) and Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie (right).

THANK

YOU

Thank You to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and our valued customers for the nomination in the Richmond Chamber of Commerce 35th Business Excellence awards in the New Business of the Year category. We are so honoured to be nominated among some of the best businesses in Richmond and so thrilled that we won!!

Rob Newell photo Pasha Bains and Chad Clifford received the Young Entrepreneur Award for their Drive Basketball business.

We’ve been in business for a little over a year now, and it has been great to be so well received by the City of Richmond, the parents of greater Vancouver and the volleyball community.

L

ocal basketball barons Pasha Bains and Chad Clifford started Drive Basketball as a skills development camp. They didn’t have designs on a business then; they just wanted to teach kids how to play basketball.

“The first camp, we didn’t know if anyone would show up.

It grew to where people kept saying, ‘When’s the next camp?’” said Bains, a Richmond High grad.

Now Drive is a successful business with two courts at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

For their efforts, Bains and Clifford captured the Young Entre-

preneur Award Wednesday.

“We have some kids who are playing Division 1 with the national team, but we also have lots of kids that are just happy to make their team,” said Bains in accepting the award.

“We’re really lucky that we have a business that’s our passion.”

Also nominated: Nooch Snack and Chill, Shine Nail Bar.

Business Leadership: Libra - The Rice People

E

va Sun has been in the rice business since 1984, when she opened a shop in Vancouver’s Chinatown. She quickly became known as the Rice Lady.

Today, she owns Richmondbased Libra National Inc., also known as The Rice People, which was honoured by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce with a Business Leadership Award.

Sun, whose company has overcome bankruptcy, introduced the concept of “authentic ethnic food” in the late ’80s, helping major grocery chains to serve the ethnic market.

Her company started using biodegradable bags for rice in 2007 and compostable jars in 2011.

“As an entrepreneur, business is not just about making money.

We can use business as our platform for our passion,” said Sun. “And my passion is to help immigrants to settle in, and not just to settle down.”

Sun’s dedication to helping others is clear. She believes much more can be done for immigrants who often work in the grocery
