Were the four kidnappers who brazenly scooped up a man and his young son early Sunday afternoon posing as police officers? That appears to be the allegation, based on one of the charges faced by two suspects arrested in connection with the incident. Richmond’s Donald Ryan Stalker, 27, was taken into police custody Sunday just half a block from where the kidnapping began to unfold, and has been charged with impersonating a peace officer. He has at least four current unresolved Richmond provincial court files in his name, including charges that he failed to provide a breath sample to police, driving while his licence was suspended, and driving while prohibited. Several tenants who live in two residential condo towers that overlook the street where the drama unfolded in the middle of a sunny Sunday, said they were shocked by the kidnapping but happy it was thwarted by Richmond Mounties thanks in large part to a quick-thinking citizen. The witness called 911 after spotting four suspicious men approach another man as he was latching his young son into his SUV’s child seat near the Westin Wall Centre Vancouver Airport Hotel, at 3099 Corvette Way. The four suspects handcuffed the victim and forced him into the rear of the vehicle with his son, according to police. Thanks to the witness who spoke to an EComm operator and provided crucial details, Richmond Mounties raced to the scene, and were able to pull over the vehicle with the suspects and the kidnapping victims before it had moved a city block. Two men were arrested for

Kidnappers face at least five years in jail under new law by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The two men charged with kidnapping a man and his young son last weekend in downtown Richmond could be among the first charged in Canada under a recently amended section of the Criminal Code of Canada involving kidnappings. If convicted, the pair are facing a mandatory minimum of five years in prison. It was just seven weeks ago that royal assent was given to private member’s bill C-299, involving the kidnapping of a young person. “This bill will ensure that cases involving the kidnapping of children by strangers are treated with the severity they deserve,” Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Rob Nicholson said on June 26. The bill, sponsored by KootenayColumbia MP David Wilks, amends section 279 (1) of the criminal code and imposes a mandatory minimum penalty of five years imprisonment. “The protection of children across Canada is paramount.," Wilks said. The suspects are also facing a mandatory minimum of three years if they are convicted of a weaponsrelated charge. Provincial crown spokesperson Neil Mackenzie said as far as he is aware, this is the first time the new legislation has been used in B.C.

Raymond Truong, 19. The pair were also charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement with a firearm, using a restricted/prohibited weapon to commit a robbery, and possession of a prohibited/restricted weapon.

The Richmond Review spoke to one witness, who stumbled upon the immediate aftermath of the incident as she was out walking her dog Sunday sometime after 2 p.m. “Oh, that’s what that was,” she said. She described seeing a white Mercedes Benz SUV sitting in the middle of the roadway with all of its doors open, and she could see a kid’s car seat in the back of the Mercedes. She saw officers writing notes, and numerous police cruisers. “That’s scary,” she said, after being told about the kidnapping attempt. Police remained at the scene well into the evening hours, and were seen towing vehicles, including a BMW, according to the witness. Another neighbour who saw the heavy police presence said that on Monday morning, a policeman was directing his police dog to sniff around the bushes at the foot of the residential towers, which comprise condos on top, and ground-floor townhouses that face the snaking Corvette Way, at the north end of No. 3 Road near Sea Island Way. “That’s crazy,” she said. “If it’s targeted then I’m not that worried. (But) how about if nobody saw it,” she asked. Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski said there’s no doubt the ending could have been tragic in this case. Investigators believe the kidnapping was targeted, but not gang related. Mounties say whenever people see something suspicious, they shouldn’t hesitate to call the police. “This was an example of some outstanding police work performed by dedicated members of the Richmond RCMP,” Kowalski said. Police have no information about the two other suspects, who remain at large, though investigators are continuing to work on the file.

Transferring to the Canada Line without a smart card will cost you double Compass compatible system on buses would cost extra $25 million by Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver bus passengers who now pay with cash and use a paper transfer to later board SkyTrain will find themselves paying double if they don’t adopt the Compass card after the new payment system takes effect in 2014. TransLink says fare boxes on buses won’t be able to issue paper tickets to cash-paying passengers that are compatible with the SkyTrain faregates. Passengers who try to use them will be forced to pay again at a SkyTrain station. Spokesman Derek Zabel predicts the vast majority of riders will use the Compass card and have no problem but concedes more public education will be needed. A compatible system on buses would have cost an extra $25 million. “It wasn’t a cost-effective solution,” he said. Bus-to-bus paper transfers will still work, as will SkyTrain-to-bus transfers—it’s only bus-to-SkyTrain transfers where tickets will be incompatible. An estimated 6,000 people a day use busto-SkyTrain paper transfers after paying cash. That’s a small fraction of the more than 1.2 million daily transit trips, Zabel said, noting most riders already use a pass or some other form of pre-paid fare. While Compass cards are expected to roll out before the end of the year—after an extensive testing period this fall—both the new and the old system will work simultaneously for months before the faregates are fully activated. “We’re not going to close the gates until people fully understand how to use the system,” Zabel said. The cards are being configured to replicate existing payment offerings so users can load money on their card and buy the equivalent of a monthly pass or get a similar discount to the FareSaver prepaid ticket booklets by buying ahead.

Bus passengers who now pay with cash and use a paper transfer to later board the Canada Line will find themselves paying double if they don’t start using the Compass card.

Discounts will range up to 14 per cent, according to Zabel. TransLink expects passengers will flock to adopt the reloadable Compass card because of the convenience it will offer—ending the need to go to a store to buy a monthly pass —as well as other advantages like transfer of the balance if the card is lost or stolen. Gavin Davies, vice-president of the CAW union local representing Coast Mountain bus drivers, said there’s concern angry passengers who are forced to pay again to board SkyTrain will take out their fury on bus drivers. “They’re going to immediately retaliate

Woman charged with assaulting 7-week-old A local woman has been charged with aggravated assault involving an infant that had been left in her care by a family member. Wei Wang, born in 1984, was scheduled to appear in Richmond provincial court on Thursday morning. Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski said the fourmonth old case was sensitive in nature and that’s why Mounties didn’t release information about the incident after it occurred on Feb. 4, 2013. There were no fears that other children had been assaulted, he added. According to CBC News, the infant was just seven weeks old when he was allegedly assaulted, and Wang is charged with allegedly putting glue in the young boy’s ears. CBC News reported Thursday that a search warrant indicates the baby was brought to a local hospital, crying and upset about glue found in and around his ears. “The baby lives in a home with his parents and their extended family. Several family members claimed the sister-in-law Wei Wang was jealous of Baby Y because she had two daughters,” the CBC story said. “The victim’s father also claimed he’d found a needle stuck in his son’s car seat a few weeks earlier.” —by Martin van den Hemel

against the next bus driver they see,” he predicted, adding driver assaults could increase. The move was blasted by transit users on social media and an online petition has been started demanding TransLink abandon the “double transit fee.” It’s not the only change associated with the Compass card conversion that’s drawing controversy. TransLink is also axing the Employer Pass Program that offered a 15 per cent discount to employees of participating employers. It was often coupled with employer-offered perks like preferential parking as a way to en-

courage more transit use while reducing the number of workplace parking stalls required. “It wasn’t fair,” Zabel said. “Some select people and groups were benefitting while other people weren’t getting that same level of discount.” TransLink says employer pass users can buy monthly passes now, but in many cases that may cost them more. TransLink will also phase out FareSaver prepaid tickets in January. Also being eliminated Jan. 1 is a policy of allowing free travel for family members of monthly pass holders on Sundays and holidays.

Traveller sentenced in child porn case An American man caught carrying child pornography while travelling through Vancouver International Airport, has been sentenced to six months in prison. John Leroy Brown, born in 1976, was in transit through the airport on July 30 when he was referred for a secondary examination. Border services officers found several discs of suspected child pornography in his luggage. He was arrested and turned over to Richmond Mounties, along with the videos of suspected child exploitation. Brown pled guilty on Tuesday, and was sentenced to six months in prison, which was requested by the Crown. Provincial crown spokesperson Neil Mackenzie said Brown is “not Canadian” and was simply in transit when he was caught. He has been in custody since his arrest, and will receive credit for the time he’s already served in prison, meaning his remaining sentence will be just five-and-ahalf months. —by Martin van den Hemel

CORNER OF BLUNDELL AND SIDAWAY (look for the red barn) RICHMOND, BC

Smart meter class action lawsuit off to slow start by Jeff Nagel Black Press Opponents of BC Hydro’s wireless smart meters are scrambling to quickly assemble enough people willing to be part of a planned class-action lawsuit they hope delivers a permanent opt-out from the program. Victoria resident Sharon Noble, with the group Citizens for Safe Technology, said success in convincing a judge to certify the class action may hinge on how many people take part. She estimated Wednesday that 100 to 150 people are registered—a start she called slow—but added hundreds more sign-ups are likely in progress. Given the number of people who have blocked smart meter installation or had one installed against their wishes, she said, it would be surprising if thousands don’t join the lawsuit. “The courts would be very influenced by having a large number,” Noble said, adding a judge could soon begin considering whether to certify the class action. About 60,000 households have refused smart meters or less than four per cent of all BC Hydro customers. BC Hydro has not yet issued its response to the claim filed July 25 on behalf of representative plaintiff Nomi Davis. The suit demands free choice “without extortive fees, coercion or conditions designed to intimidate.” Registering with the lawsuit costs $100. The provincial government has indicated those who still have analog power meters they want to keep will be able to pay around $20 a month extra to continue manual meter readings. Opponents aren’t happy with the fees or Hydro indications that smart meters may still replace analog ones as they break down. Greg Reimer, BC Hydro’s executive vice-president of transmission and distribution, said in a both the B.C. Court of Appeal and B.C. Utilities Commission have previously dismissed smart meter legal challenges and that Hydro has “acted at all times within the law.”

Fraser sockeye test fishing curtailed to conserve weak run Hot water may kill up to 70 per cent of salmon before spawning by Jeff Nagel Black Press Lower-than-hoped returns of Fraser River sockeye and dangerously hot water temperatures upstream have prompted fishery managers to curtail test fishing in a bid to let as many salmon spawn as possible. About 82,000 sockeye have already been caught through test fisheries and those salmon are sold to help offset the $1.4-million cost of the test program, which is critical to gauging the strength of incoming runs. Pacific Salmon Commis-

sion chief biologist Mike Lapointe said Wednesday about half of test fishing operations have now been cancelled. And three seine boats that continue to test fish offshore are now ordered to release nearly all sockeye after counting them instead of harvesting them. “We’re trying to be good citizens and minimize our

impact,” Lapointe said. Asked why test fishing wasn’t adjusted earlier, he said the commission acted quickly once it became apparent continued hot, dry weather would pose a risk. “As soon as we knew we had a bad situation we acted as fast as we could,” Lapointe said. “Ideally, in perfect hindsight, it would have been nice if we could have stopped sooner but

there was no way for us to anticipate that.” Although the test fishing program is $200,000 short of the revenue to cover its expenses, Lapointe said conservation, not budget concerns, guided the timing of the decision. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said first nations have argued for catchand-release test fishing for years, adding it would have reduced pressure on threatened Fraser stocks. “Far more fish would have been up the Fraser River in all the intervening years,” Crey said. “It’s better late than never. Finally they do the right thing at a time when fish runs are perilously low.” There’s been no commercial and sport fishing for Fraser sockeye this summer with no prospect for any unless the main summer run merely turns out to be late in arriving. Lapointe said there are some signs that may be the case. But even then, deadly high river water temperatures of more than 21 degrees now threaten to kill up to 70 per cent of incoming sockeye before they can spawn, meaning many more must be allowed to swim upriver to compensate. “We’re expecting only on the order of a third of these fish to survive their journey up the Fraser to the spawning areas,” he said. As a result, he said, there’s a “significant risk” that no more sockeye may end up spawning this year than in the disastrous 2009 season that triggered the Cohen Inquiry. Sockeye run on a fouryear cycle, so the fish now migrating are the offspring of the 2009 run, and it had been hoped this would be the year that run started to rebuild. The main summer run of Fraser sockeye is estimated at two million and although Lapointe said that may climb it may not be enough. “We need a significantly larger run to get to any kind of harvestable surplus because the river conditions are so bad.” Aboriginal food fishing has also been halted after a catch of about 270,000 sockeye, mainly from the early summer and early Stuart components of the run that had come in a bit stronger than expected. It now looks like this year’s total Fraser River run will fall well short of the forecast of roughly 4.6 million but better than the 1.6 million return of 2009.

With $33,000 raised so far for the construction of a new operations centre for The Sharing Farm, roughly another $30,000 would allow them to build the structure to the lock-up stage. That would provide them with an immediately usable space which they so desperately need to continue to supply nutritious fruits and vegetables to needy local families. “We really appreciate the support we’ve received so far,” said Sharing Farm’s Gretchen Frazer, who added that although the skeleton staff are “seriously struggling” the operations are still going forward. Frazer said the kit to build the garage costs $45,000, but that doesn’t include the cost of the foundation or the roof, which total another $15,000. And although getting to the lock-up stage doesn’t provide a facility that’s completed on the inside, it’s still a usable space, Frazer said. While RONA Richmond owner Mack Foster has chipped in with $15,000, and VanCity has provided another $15,000, there’s also $7,500— provided by VanCity and the Richmond Rotary Club—that’s waiting to be spent on a walk-in cooler. Trouble is, without a building, there’s no place for the walk-in cooler to be constructed. Local firefighters and police officers have also stepped forward to show their support for the initiative. They’ve offered to do the labour for the build, which is worth another $40,000 or so. Some $3,000 in materials has also been donated. Fundraising efforts will continue during the farm’s popular Garlic Festival, scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. More than 1,000 pounds of garlic in three varieties—Italian Red, Music and Korean Purple—will be for sale.

The Canada Line has been operational for four years and has been a great success. And soon transit users will be getting these fancy smart cards just like they do in London, Hong Kong and Seattle. The Compass cards will replicate existing payment offerings so you can load money on your card and buy the equivalent of a monthly pass or get a similar discount to the FareSaver prepaid ticket booklets by buying ahead. So far, so good. But the system isn’t so hip for those bus passengers who plunk their coins in the farebox and get a transfer for the Canada Line, because get this—your transfer won’t work on the new system and you’ll have to pay again to hop downtown. (Apparently, SkyTrain-tobus transfers will still work.) That flaw in the

Evan Seal file photo TransLink says fare boxes on buses won’t be able to issue paper tickets to cash-paying passengers that are compatible with the SkyTrain faregates.

system has transit users once again scratching their heads. Mind you, this is the same outfit that built a brand-new rapid

transit line and has taken four years to install fare-gates on them. TransLink estimates 6,000 people a day use bus-to-SkyTrain

paper transfers via cash. You would think someone would have clued into this earlier. TransLink says it would cost $25 mil-

lion for a bus transfer to Canada Line system to work. Considering the earful they are getting from transit users angry over

this future “double transit fee,” the folks at TransLink better dust of their thinking caps and find a better way out of this latest mess.

Part two of a three-part series.

his is the story of Simon, age 9, one of Richmond’s many children living in poverty.

He’d like to go to Playland with the other kids, but he knows that his family can’t afford it. His mom will tell him that what little

money they have needs to go towards food and rent. They’re a month behind on their rent even though she works two jobs. Sometimes, there isn’t even any food in the house. Hunger is a constant companion. Simon knows that his mum will skip meals or give him extra at dinner times. How would you feel if you hadn’t eaten today? What about if you didn’t know when or what your next meal is going to be? What is it like knowing you can’t afford to buy for yourself or your family? A few weeks ago, in the first part of this series, I provided a list of resources for people interested in learning about individual and community food issues. This week’s article shifts the focus from the “head” to the “heart.” Rarely do we take the time to empathize and see things from different perspectives. Equally as rare, is taking the time to reflect

and self-examine our own personal choices and ways of thinking. The “heart” provides the drive which stimulates and motivates us to attain specific goals. With this in mind, there are a number of excellent opportunities for people living in Richmond to experience the reality of people struggling to meet their food needs. Volunteering is an excellent way to build understanding while giving back to the local community. The Richmond Food Bank has four distributions during the week both in central and east Richmond. Another great space to help out is through the community meals, interspersed across Richmond. Richmond has a rich history of farming and food self-reliance as seen in the wide variety of fruit trees throughout residential properties. Richmond Food Security Society coordinates fruit gleaning of these trees and donates

the produce to the Richmond Food Bank. It’s a great way to meet people and find productive ways to prevent food from ending up in the landfill. As an added bonus, giving time helps to get people socializing and can build work skills too. In our region, the 100 mile diet was established by Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon. This is one of the many food challenges that one can experience in their day to day lives. Consider trying this with your family or with a group of friends. Recently, high profile individuals

took on a food poverty challenge, attempting to live off of $26 for one week. There is also the 48 hour fast challenge where youth would raise funds for global poverty charities. Others have made pacts or efforts to take on a vegetarian or vegan diet once a week. At the end of the day, it’s really about humanizing the experience of vulnerable people. These are people who, for whatever reasons, face a harder life. A reproachful or judgemental stance does little to uplift our fellow citizens. Rather, we should listen, really listen and take the time to see someone not as ‘other’ but as someone worthy of respect and dignity. Colin Dring is with Richmond Food Security Society.

letters Jet fuel proposal is the most sustainable option Editor: Re: “Jet fuel proposal is a disaster waiting to happen,” Aug. 9. VAPOR is once again using incorrect information and inflammatory language to try to discredit the proposed Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project. Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation followed a precautionary approach in the design and study of the project that was recognized in the recent environmental assessment as “academic and industry best practice” and “state of the art” for spill modelling and incident preparation. We engaged leading scientists with expertise on Fraser River hydrodynamics, navigation and spill prevention. We assumed extreme conditions compared to expected operating conditions to help develop robust marine response strategies to protect sensitive areas. Spill probability factors used in our application were extremely conservative. They were based on global spill statistics over the past 20 years for all types of petroleum products, including when single-hulled vessels were used, regulations were less stringent, and navigational technology was less advanced than today. Using data from the last 10 years would have resulted in projections being far lower than those used in our analysis. The probability of a spill of any size is very low and certainly not guaranteed as VAPOR tries to suggest. As for seismic activity, the project will use modern design and construction practices. These standards are a significant advance over the existing aviation fuel pipeline. Also, the fuel storage facility tanks will be more than 1,000 metres (not 400 yards as VAPOR asserts) from the closest residential areas, much further than a number of areas near fuel handling facilities in Burnaby. VAPOR wrongly implies that in the event of a spill, VAFFC will not have the

assets or resources to provide compensation. VAFFC is required by law to carry insurance for our operations as are the shippers. This insurance, which will be substantial, is also backstopped by government administered spill funds. VAPOR also suggests that an eight-day supply of jet fuel at the airport somehow negates the need for expansion or a new system. This is incorrect. VAFFC has already constructed additional storage at the airport that, when full, can provide

up to eight days of fuel in the event of a supply disruption. The proposed project is about getting fuel to the airport. This project will replace the current fuel delivery system with a more efficient configuration having a smaller physical and environmental footprint that better aligns with the current fuel supply logistics. Expanding the existing fuel delivery system is not viable due to its age, location, length and cost. This project is the most sustainable option for the future.

The new fuel delivery system will contribute to YVR’s growth and strengthen its position as a gateway of choice for airlines. The project is a culmination of years of research, review and consultation that demonstrates beyond reasonable question that the risks are low and will be managed to insignificant levels with well-understood and available technology and expertise.

DELIVERING FRESHNESS

FRESH LOCAL BLUEBERRIES ARE READY NOW!

Peter Principle at TransLink Editor: It is astounding, that in an age where public transit is deemed successful on its affordability and ease of use, TransLink and its

management once again prove the Peter Principle, with one of its most incompetent decisions yet, that bus transfers will not work on SkyTrain and Canada Line trains and one must purchase another fare. It is beyond belief! If the minister in charge of

TransLink does not fire top management at TransLink for this sheer incompetence, the premier needs to fire the minister in charge for allowing such incompetence to continue. Malcolm Johnston Delta

Editor: Re: “Cyclists need to pay attention,” Letters, Aug. 14. Sharon Doucelin makes some obvious, but good points in her letter. Both cyclists and motorists can be inattentive and violate the rules of the road on occasion. This inattention can lead to collisions which nobody wants. I think that maybe the city can do its share too. Perhaps the city can re-position roadway stop lines further back along the bikeway and install bike-only lights at these intersections (just like the city installed for pedestrians at No. 1 Road and Moncton). That way, people don’t have to get off of their bikes every kilometre (could you imagine the outcry if motorists had to get out of their cars at each intersection?), and collisions would be less likely to occur.

School support workers have not had a raise in pay for four years Editor: Richmond School District’s CUPE support workers do not want to go on strike. We are very up front and honourable and want you to know, first of all, this most important fact. We love our jobs and are dedicated to the students and teaching staff in the district, the people we work with on a daily basis. Our work and our part in the educational system always meets the highest standards and Richmond School District’s reputation reflects that. Now that I have been up front, stating clearly that we do not wish

to go on strike, I request that the provincial government be equally straightforward and honest in their negotiating with our union. Our negotiating committee has been negotiating for months with the provincial government. In the latest round of negotiations, we were told that if we asked for a pay raise we had to come to the table with ideas to save an equal amount of money. Our negotiating team did just this. The government representatives on the other side of the table replied with nothing. Nothing. No response. Were they just there on

a fishing expedition to take our money saving ideas back to their bosses? In other words were they not being up front and honest in their negotiations? Despite hearing our cost saving ideas, are they going to force us to go on strike by not replying to our negotiating committee? I am sure they know that if we do strike, we will be causing great inconvenience to the families and teachers of the district. They also know it will cause anger towards us from the public. We do not wish to do this. We do not want to strike. The Richmond School District

support workers have not had a raise in pay for four years and prior raises were .5 per cent in 2008, .5 per cent in 2007, and 1 per cent in 2006. We had no pay raises for a few years before that which means our pay has increased only two per cent in the last nine years. We are not ‘greedy’. The cost of housing, heat, hydro, food and transportation have increased by much more than 2 per cent in the past 9 years. The taxes that pay for our municipal and provincial services are taken directly from of our paycheques before we receive our pay. That means we are important taxpayers.

We also spend our paycheques locally, contributing to the prosperity of our communities. All we are asking is that the provincial government respect our work and respect us as human beings and citizens of this province. Do not force us to go on strike, our most extreme recourse. Return to the bargaining table before the scheduled start of this school year and speak honestly and openly with our negotiating committee. Thank you for your consideration. Sharon Schick Richmond

Oil refinery plan needs Canadian lenders David Black says Chinese bank wants him to find 25 per cent at home

wanted some skin in the game out of Canada and they would put 75 per cent of the money up for the refinery,” he said Monday. Black has billed the project, announced a year ago, as a way to create thousands of jobs in B.C. refining Alberta crude oil while ensuring diluted bitumen isn’t shipped in tankers, eliminating one of the biggest objections to construction of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that could supply the crude. Black is advancing the project through his firm Kitimat Clean Ltd., but is also majority owner of the Black Press group of community newspapers in B.C., including this paper. He said he believes he has found lenders in Canada but gave no details, except to say

he does not intend to take on equity investors. “It’s too early to say where or how, but I think it’s there,” he said. “Financially, it’s going to work out.” He aims to file a project description with the provincial government in September to initiate the environby Jeff Nagel mental review process.

Bloodmobile returns to library According to Canadian Blood Services, approximately every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. That’s why they’re encouraging people to donate blood at the Canadian Blood Services Bloodmobile that’s coming to the Richmond Library and Cultural Centre on Monday, Sept. 9. The Bloodmobile will be open from 10 a.m. – 4:15 p.m. and people are asked to book their appointment in advance. To register to donate blood or to find out if you’re eligible call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) anytime. There are a few basic require-

ments for blood donation: •You must be at least 17 years old. •You must weigh at least 110 lbs. •You must be in generally good health and feeling well. •ID is required. Be sure you have eaten well at least two hours before donating. If you have a history of low iron, here are a few food options that can help you: beef, lamb, dark chicken or turkey meat, oatmeal, enriched cold cereal, roasted pumpkin seeds, bagels, pasta, asparagus, avocado and leafy greens. It takes a little over an hour to

donate blood but if it’s your first time, it may take longer, as the clinic staff will spend more time explaining each step to you. Bloodmobile staff encourage you to make an appointment to donate and call to cancel if you can no longer make the appointment. This frees up the slot for another donor. According to Canadian Blood Services one blood donation can save up to three lives. A recent poll showed that 52 per cent of Canadians say they, or a family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment. For more information, call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283).

All of their work was done anonymously since Steel didn’t want this to be about her. She wanted it to be about those who desperately need help. She does admit at the end of the book that it was all financed by her, and hopes that lending the homeless her voice will act as a challenge to others to help in whatever ways they can. As a result Steel has become a strong advocate for the homeless and very critical of governments who do little or nothing to help the most vulnerable in our society. Steel writes: “I didn’t realize it at the time but, but along with the supplies we handed out, we gave them hope… the hope that things can change, and the courage to hang on.” This humbling story won’t soon be forgotten. Other books about the homeless include: The Girl’s Guide to Homeless: a Memoir; Street Stories: 100 Years of Homelessness in Vancouver; The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill: a Love Story…With Wings; The Glass Castle; A Free Man: a True Story of Life and Death in Delhi; Girlbomb: a Halfway Homeless Memoir; and Living at the Edge of the World: How I Survived the Tunnels of Grand Central Station.

Inspired by her son Nick who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and committed suicide at age 19, Steel carries on his legacy of charity. After her son’s death and the dissolution of her marriage, Steel was emotionally broken and adrift. Being enormously religious, she prayed for something to help her hold onto life and to “find a way to help someone else in greater need.” Within minutes of her prayer and her request for direction, the answer came to her: “Help the homeless.” Thus began her 11-year journey to bring comfort and hope to those living on the streets. Starting out with a couple of friends, a van and some supplies, the group grew to include four vans and 11 people. They came to be known as “Yo! Angel!” and made monthly trips to the seedier parts of San Francisco to provide the homeless with warm jackets, sleeping bags, gloves, toiletries and more. She calculated that they served 300 people a night. Scared at first of disease and violence, Steel’s heart soon melted and she was truly humbled by the humanity of those she met on the streets. She says they changed her life forever. “Yo! Angel!” operated under cover of night and wanted no recognition for what they were doing, yet they consistently got thanks and blessings from those they helped.

ALL ABOUT

Devoted to the health and happiness of your furry, feathered & finned friends

The many benefits of pet ownership

ather than heading to the pharmacy for solutions to common ailments, a majority of people may be able to stop at the nearest pet store or animal shelter and find a finned or furry remedy instead.

Studies that link positive health benefits to pet ownership abound. According to WebMD, one study found that 48 stockbrokers who adopted a pet experienced lower blood pressure readings in stressful situations than did people who did not own pets. Another study found that individuals suffering from serious diseases are far less likely to experience depression if they have a strong tie to a pet. Plus, pets have proven beneficial to seniors struggling with loneliness. Any pet can try a person’s patience at times, expecially when a kitty has used a sofa as a scratching post or when a pooch needs to be let into the yard at 3 a.m. But for many pet owners, the benefits of having a pet far outweigh the negatives. Here are some of the many ways that pet ownership can be good for your health. •Lower blood pressure: Petting a dog or cat can lower blood pressure. •Reduce stress: Stress is something people face on a daily basis. According to a National Health Interview Survey, 75 percent of the general population experiences at least “some stress” every two weeks, and many times that stress is moderate to severe. Research has indicated that when people spend time with a pet their levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, is lowered while their level of serotonin, a hormone associated with improved mood and well-being, is increased. •Lower cholesterol: Lifestyle factors associated with pet ownership, particularly a focus on increased physical health and activity, can help lower cholesterol levels. Also, having a pet works to reduce stress, which may keep individuals from looking to fatty

foods as sources of alleviating anxiety. •Fight depression: Many therapists have prescribed pet therapy as a method to alleviating and recovering from depression. A pet is an unconditional friend and can provide that listening ear a person needs to talk through problems. Also, walking and taking care of a pet devotes attention away from problems and inward thinking. •Improve physical activity levels: Heading to the gym is one way to get a workout, but spending an hour walking the dog or tossing around a ball for a game of fetch is another way to get the heart pumping. •Reduce stroke incidences: There has been evidence that cat owners are less likely to suffer strokes than people who do not have cats. Researchers are not sure of the connection, but surmise that cats have a more calming nature than other types of pets. •Greater opportunities for socialization: Humans are social animals and need to interact with others. Pet owners have a tendency to want to share time and experiences with other pet owners. Pets can provide opportunities for people to get together. •Helps kids with health problems: Richmond Therapeutic Equestrian Society brings joy and health benefits into the lives of children with health problems and disabilities by exposing them to the joys of riding specially trained horses with the assistance of volunteers. Research presented at the 10th International Conference on Human Animal Interaction found pet owners were the least likely to have to visit the doctor. The survey of more than 11,000 respondents from Australia, China and Germany found that over a five-year period pet owners made 15 to 20 percent fewer annual visits to the doctor than non-pet owners. The companionship and love pets provide could be a key benefit in promoting good personal health. HM131807

Backpack safety can prevent serious injuries

rips and falls on the playground may account for the majority of injuries that send school children to the nurse's office. But backpacks cause their fair share of

injuries as well.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates there are more than 7,300 backpack-related injuries per year. Children routinely carry more than the recommended weight in school backpacks

and, compounding the problem, also carry their bags incorrectly. Medical agencies recommend that a child's backpack should weigh no more than 10 to 20 percent of the child's body weight. However, this figure should be

Back to School Safety Reminders To Learn, Share and Remember 1) Since many children are walking or riding their bikes to school we can stress the following safety rules to assist them with negotiating traffic safely: - walk on sidewalks where available - only cross at intersections - always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle - always walk your bicycle across the road 2) When crossing intersections without signals or crossing guards: - make sure motorists see you before stepping out onto the roadway - look in all directions before crossing - stop, look & listen for traffic - walk, don't run across the road - use the “buddy system” if possible 3) When crossing intersections with signals: - push the pedestrian button if available & wait for the pedestrian walk signal - stop, look & listen for traffic - make sure motorists see you before stepping out onto the roadway - look in all directions before crossing - watch for vehicles turning - walk, don’t run across the road If at all possible cross the road at intersections where adult crossing guards or student safety patrollers are present. In these cases only cross at the direction of the guard.

adjusted based on a child's fitness level and strength. That means that the average sevenyear-old second grader who weighs between 55 and 60 pounds should be carrying no more than 11 to 12 pounds in his or her backpack. A backpack that is too heavy may cause •red marks on the shoulders or back from the straps •tingling or numbness in the arms and back •changes in posture when wearing the backpack, and •pain anywhere in the back. To compound these problems, which also may include nerve damage resulting from pressure on nerves in the shoulders, children should lighten their loads and carry backpacks correctly. The following tips are some additional ways youngsters can prevent backpack-related injuries. •Carry only necessary items. Children should only carry what is required for that particular school day in their backpacks. If teachers routinely have students carry home many heavy books, parents can consult with the teachers to see if there are other options. •Distribute weight evenly. Items in the back-

pack should be spread out to distribute the weight across the entire back. Heavier items should be at the bottom of the pack. •Use both straps. Using only one strap shifts the backpack weight to one side, causing the back and shoulders to strain. Many orthopedists have reported treating chil-

dren with back or shoulder pain as the result of carrying backpacks incorrectly. •Choose the correct backpack size. The size of the backpack should match the scale of the child and should rest evenly in the middle of the child's back. •Lift safely. Children should lift their back-

packs by bending their knees and lifting to protect their backs. A padded back reduces pressure on the muscles and can be more comfortable, while compression straps make the backpack more sturdy. Additionally, reflective material on the backpack can make the child more visible to motorists.

How to improve test-taking skills

tudents are periodically tested to gauge their progress on a variety of subjects.

This can help to calm your nerves and enable you to squeeze in some last-second studying. The test itself Make sure you have the supplies needed for the test. This may include pens or pencils, a calculator, a textbook if you are allowed to reference, or any other supplies the teacher allows. Have a watch available so that you can pace yourself during the test. Avoid using a mobile phone during the test, as the teacher may misinterpret that as cheating. Try to remain positive through the test. If you feel yourself getting nervous, take a few deep breaths and regroup.

Although testing can be an effective way to determine a student's understanding of a given subject, not every student performs well on tests. Test-taking comes easily for some but not so for others. Nerves or trouble concentrating can foil the best students. However, there are ways for students to improve their test-taking skills. Preparation Most tests are given with prior notice, enabling students to prepare for them well in advance. Sometimes teachers and professors will surprise students with a quiz. These pop quizzes are used to judge how well students are absorbing the information and if they have been paying attention. When in class, continually jot down notes and create an outline of important information. The teacher may provide hints about the upcoming test, including emphasizing specific areas of focus or even revealing the format of the test. Contrary to what some students believe, teachers want their students to succeed. Therefore, your teacher may offer a review ses-

sion the day before or be open for questions prior to the test if further clarification is needed. Studying with others can shed new light on a subject. Studying difficult subject matter with peers may help students grasp the materials better than they did in class. Classmates may have some tricks they've developed, including pneumonic devices for putting facts together. The day before and the day of the test Prior to a test, make sure you eat and get

enough rest. While it may be tempting to pull an "all-nighter," you will not perform well on the test if you are tired from having studied all night. Review the material and put the main ideas or formulas onto a sheet that can be quickly reviewed. Review it many times and then put it away. Have a good meal, relax and try to get at least eight hours of sleep. On the day of the test, wake up and arrive on time or even a few minutes early for your class. C

In addition to these tips, there are other ways to approach the test. •Do the easiest problems first. If you do not know a question, skip it and move on. There may be clues later on in the test that help you go back and answer skipped questions. •Always read the entire question. Skimming could find you missing important instructions. •Look for words that may help you determine the answer, such as "all,""never" or "none." They may present clues to the answer. •Pay attention to your work and only your work. Do not be distracted if others finish before you.

The care for cancer

From left to right are Jennifer Howell, Lisa Chao, Brigitte Peake and Brenda Goosen, part of the Richmond Hospital Cancer Care Clinic’s caring team here for patients and families.

Dr. John Yun, oncologist at Richmond Hospital, says the bottom line for the Cancer Care Clinic team is patients and their well being to ensure patients receive diagnosis, the latest therapies and expertise close to home.

The Pulse of Richmond Hospital

Natalie D. Meixner

t struck me the other day when I heard yet another instance, that at this moment in my life I know of at least five people close to me and my family who are receiving treatment for cancer at Richmond Hospital.

Cancer is a difficult word to hear and I know I’m not alone in thinking that. But when I think of the care delivered here at the Cancer Care Clinic at Richmond Hospital, there are other words that quickly spring to mind to take its place. Expertise. Dedication. Compassion. And the one word above all. Hope. Richmond Hospital’s Cancer Care Clinic offers patients and their families the hope and care required. Whether it’s for breast cancer, colon cancer or lung cancer, to name just a few of the many cancers treated here, Richmond Hospital’s Cancer Care Clinic has a deserved reputation as a skilled, committed and truly caring team here for you and your family. Recently the clinic welcomed the addition of Dr. Jeremy Ho, a talented second oncologist, to be able to help more patients, offer the latest therapies and treatments and anticipate the growing needs of Richmond’s diverse and expanding population. I would like to introduce you to Dr. John Yun, oncologist at the Cancer Care Clinic at Richmond Hospital. Dr. Yun arrived here in 1995. He is a Richmond resident and father of six, and as part of the tremendous team at the Cancer Care Clinic, he shares how the highly specialized staff go beyond treating disease to help patients and families through a dif-

ficult time and offer both compassion and hope. “When a person finds out that they have cancer, it’s often a lifechanging experience and their life may never be the same,” says Dr. Yun. “When they come to see me, they want someone who has experience and expertise and they want the confidence that this expert in front of them has their best interests at heart. They want help to make good informed choices and they want assurance. “You could be a really nice doctor, but ultimately, you need to be excellent in your professional knowledge and expertise. That’s a given. But in order to deliver the very best, you need that human relationship. You treat people as you want to be treated—as a human being. The biggest fear of many patients is being objectified, feeling they’re just one person out of many hundreds of people with this problem. I try to listen to them and become a friend.” This is an approach shared by the entire team at the Cancer Care Clinic, says Dr. Yun. “I appreciate the other dedicated professionals I work with, like the nurses, pharmacists, dieticians, social workers and other specialists like radiologists and palliative care doctors. That’s one thing I notice here in our clinic. All staff treat people as people, not as statistics. There is something therapeutic about the human relationship and patients appreciate that. “For us, the bottom line is our patients and their well being. Patients are able to receive diagnosis, the latest therapies and expertise close to home. As a team and with the addition of Dr. Jeremy Ho, we are pleased to provide more of this excellence of care right here in Richmond.” If you have had a positive life-changing experience at Richmond Hospital, we would love to hear from you.

BUSINESS CLOSING SALE

More TransLink staff earning six-figure salaries

by Jeff Nagel Black Press TransLink is again being accused of paying its managers too much after the release of financial disclosures showing higher pay for top executives and more staff receiving in excess of $100,000. The documents show 141 TransLink employees collected six-figure salaries in 2012, up nearly 15 per cent from the previous year. CEO Ian Jarvis collected $394,730 in combined salary and bonuses, up three per cent. Pension contributions and other benefits pushed his total compensation to $438,700. His base salary

for January 2012 was listed at $310,000, which TransLink says has not changed since 2011. Three other senior executives – chief operating officer Doug Kelsey, chief financial officer Cathy McLay and executive vicepresident Bob Paddon— also earned over $300,000 in overall compensation. Kelsey was second highest with a $280,000 base salary. Bonuses, benefits and pension contributions pushed his compensation total to $377,000 in 2012. Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said TransLink should roll back executive and management salaries as a first step to cut costs and avoid tax hikes for service expansion. “We say not another nickel for TransLink,” he said. “Their leadership has completely lost touch with the people they are supposed to be serving. “This tone-deaf fiscal mismanagement will come back to haunt them

The incentive pay amounts ranged from a low of $9,300 to a high of $57,350 for Jarvis. Nearly 60 of the employees earning over $100,000 are Transit Police officers, which Bateman calls“overpaid fare checkers” who don’t work on enough serious crimes to justify their expense. TransLink spokesperson Jiana Ling said Transit Police are critical to keeping the transit system safe and have helped reduce crime. “We’re doing our best to reduce cost and be more efficient while maintaining service delivery standards,” Ling said, adding TransLink’s executive compensation structure has been reviewed and

approved by the province. “While we are not a Crown corporation, we operate prudently within government guidelines.” The transportation authority has been through multiple internal and external reviews in recent years in an ongoing search for savings. In the course of that, TransLink has slashed its upper management ranks by liminating a dozen vicepresidents or other senior executives. Auditors, mayors and successive transportation ministers have concluded other expenses offer more potential savings than pay reforms, and that no amount of internal savings will free up the billions of dollars TransLink needs to build new rapid transit lines. TransLink’s total payroll cost last year was $54.8 million.

Here are a few tips for preventing water damage in your home. • Know where the main water shutoff valve is located and check it frequently to make sure it is working properly. • Never leave running water, such as in a bathtub or kitchen sink, unattended. • Avoid setting the dishwasher to start after you go to bed. If a hose breaks, water could run all night long. • Make sure all appliances are working properly. Regularly check the icemaker, dishwasher, sinks and garbage disposal for leaks. It is a good idea to replace hoses every five years. • Keep basement floor drains open so water can drain freely. • Monitor hot water tanks regularly. Most last 10 to 15 years, but wet spots on the floor or rust on the tank can signal a problem. • Make sure the downspouts extend several feet away from the house to keep water away from the foundation. • Keep the roof, valleys, gutters and downspouts free from leaves, twigs and litter to improve drainage. • Have your roof checked each spring, and ask your roofer to repair loose shingles and fix other winter damage. • Install a backflow prevention device (BPD) to prevent water damage in your home, including potential damage from a sewer cleanout if your home is connected to a municipal sewer.

I am about to finish chemotherapy. Are there any supplements I can take to help me recover?

Chemotherapy and radiation can both be very difficult to go through. Often during treatment, you may find yourself losing significant amounts of weight, having a change in bowel patterns (either constipation or diarrhea), becoming immunosuppressed, among other side effects. Despite this, there are definitely some supplements that you can take during and after chemotherapy that can help you recover quicker. First, if you are or have experienced weight loss during treatment, we strongly recommend taking some Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) to help you maintain muscle and reduce weight loss. This is very important as a large percentage of people undergoing chemo can lose significant amounts of weight, which leads to a poorer response to chemotherapy and lower survival rates. I recommend OncoQOL DaxibeQOL BCAA once a day during treatment and after treatment to help us retain muscle. In terms of getting our bowels back on track, I recommend AOR Glutamine powder, an amino acid that can help repair the mucosal lining of the intestinal tract as well as Innate Flora 50-14 probiotic to reintroduce healthy bacteria back into our system. To boost energy, I also recommend Methylcobalamin 15 mg lozenges daily to help alongside an adrenal supplement. To learn more about how to recover better from chemotherapy and radiation, contact one of our pharmacists at Pharmasave Steveston Village!

Life is full of stresses, in addition to minor and major traumas, which can occur daily. Right from birth, children have numerous falls and tumbles and as they age, get involved in various sports which can cause misalignments in the spine. As we get older, we may be involved in car accidents, have poor posture, fatigue or repetitive strains from work. These can all negatively affect the spine and nervous system and prevent us from achieving optimal health and wellness. That is why it is so important to have your spine checked throughout your life.

security service. What should we look for to ensure we get the right company?

There are many important factors to consider when looking for the right company to represent your needs; First, you must consider what your overall objective is for hiring security? What is it you would like security to help your company accomplish? Some factors to consider : · Is the Security Company licensed to conduct business in British Columbia with the Ministry of Justice (Security Programs) · Does the security guard working at the site have a valid security license? · Is the security company properly insured to conduct security work? What type of Insurance protection does the security company have in place? · Does the security company have WorkSafe BC insurance coverage? · Are the security employees bondable? · What type of training do the security guards receive? · How much per hour are the security guards being paid? · Lastly, it is very important for security staff to have a good command of the English language. In the event of an emergency situation, your security staff need to be able to communicate effectively with emergency personnel. For a complete list of criteria to evaluate security service, please contact info@thesecurityexpert.ca Gary Lok is a licensed security consultant and private investigator, he has over 25 years experience in the security industry.

Ask the Experts

Q: What causes bruxism? A:

For people who do not experience bruxism (or other extracurricular tooth involved activities) the jaw is at rest and the teeth don’t contact except while eating, swallowing and speaking. Normally during sleep the jaw muscles are relaxed and the jaw is usually open (like snoring). Wakeful bruxism which is semivoluntary is often correlated with stress. Night bruxers have rhythmic unconscious and involuntary muscle activity occurring. The main cause is largely unknown but there is evidence sleep bruxism may be caused by central nervous system sleep arousal. These are a sudden change in the depth of sleep from deep (stage IV) to less so (stage III) where dreaming occurs. Another possible cause is a disturbance in the neurotransmitters of the central nervous system like dopamine. Nicotine which stimulates the release of dopamine in the brain is suggested as a reason since smokers are twice as likely to exhibit bruxism than non-smokers. Certain other drugs and chemicals have also been implicated. Anti-anxiety drugs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s), alcohol, cocaine, and excessive consumption of caffeine in coffee, tea or chocolate have all been implicated. Ecstasy (MDMA or Methylenedioxymethylamphetamine) can apparently trigger bruxism immediately and for several days. As a consequence people who take it frequently have much more severe tooth wear than bruxers who don’t. Emotional stress has also been suggested to be the main triggering factor for night bruxism as it has been reported that those exhibiting bruxism respond differently to hostility, depression and stress than those who don’t. As well, children with sleep bruxism have been shown to have greater levels of anxiety. Most people with bruxism do not experience any pain and are unaware of it. In fact, when I suggest someone appears to be grinding their teeth because they show excessive tooth wear they will look at me like I have two heads. Unless they do it during the day it is usually a family member or bed partner who first becomes aware of it because of the noise they can generate. (I’ve heard my daughter grinding her teeth from another room!)

Commercial class properties are NOT EXEMPTED. The Strata Property Act does not contain any significant wording to differentiate between commercial and residential strata developments. Therefore a commercial strata property has the same requirements to maintain both an operating fund and a contingency reserve fund.

Dr. Greg Nelson Dentist* Implant, Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry

COMPONENT ISSUES: For commercial strata developments it is also necessary to carefully delineate which components are the responsibility of a specific section or type of unit. This is known as a sectioned strata. It is not uncommon to see components of the property which are exclusively used for more than one but not all property owners.

604-232-3900

For example, the contingency reserve contribution to a loading dock used by the commercial users but not the residential units in the strata requires different treatment for reserve purposes.

This is a brief outline describing some potential challenges prior to purchasing an older, character home. To qualify “older home” I am suggesting 50 years or older. Outdated & inadequate electrical — Unsafe Knob & Tube, aluminum branch wires, not enough outlets Environmental safety — Asbestos, buried oil tanks. Costly to remove Outdated, damaged or missing drain tile — Concrete/Clay lead to moisture issues, weak foundations Damaged or blocked gutters — Moisture issues into the home Inadequate/poor ventilation — Attic, bathrooms & kitchens Structural issues — Settlement, sloping & moisture problems Weak foundations — Instable mixes of concrete & random stones, no waterproof membranes Incorrect, unsafe renovations — Upgrades without permits. Problems arise when you remove walls Significant energy losses — Loosely built, allowing air and heat to escape This is not meant for you to steer clear of older homes, as many have been maintained and upgraded safely. However, charm can lure you in, so tread carefully when take your journey back in time. For more info, check out my blog or contact me and I’ll help you make an informed decision.

The BC Provincial Government requires all B.C. Strata’s — 5 units and over — to complete a Depreciation Report by December 13, 2013 whether commercial or residential.

Q: Are there any rebates available for Yes there is. I know you probably haven’t put any thought into your furnace for some time. Why would you its summer time. Believe it or not, but now is the perfect time to start thinking about your furnace! In order for your furnace to operate at maximum capacity, annual service is strongly recommended. There are 3 reasons to have your furnace tuned up before winter. The first reason is preventing break downs. The last thing anyone wants is for their heat to fail on one of the coldest nights of the year. Service will also prolong the life of your furnace. The second reason is efficiency. Leaving a furnace un-serviced, you run the risk of increased energy costs. And the last reason is safety. Your furnace creates harmful gases that are meant to be directed outside. For a number of reasons, those dangerous gases can make their way into your home and in a worst case scenario can result in death.

Richmond Review · Page 25

EnerChoice products are established by using the testing program from EnerGuide, a Government of Canada initiative that rates the energy consumption of household appliances. These fireplaces carry minimum EnerGuide efficiency ratings of 62.4% (fireplaces), 61% (inserts), and 66% (gas stoves). The efficiency tells the Home Owners how much heat will return into their home. For example, an insert with 70% efficiency using 30,000 BTU would provide an expected 21,000 BTU. Another example would be a 20,000 BTU fireplace x 67% efficiency = 13,400 BTU. To qualify, the fireplace product must be purchased prior to December 31, 2013 and installed under local permits. If you choose a product to be installed by The Richmond Firebox, we will ensure that the FortisBC submission form is completed.

Q: I have been trying to find some Royal Canadian

mint product from the early 2000’s. I have either not been able to find what I was looking for, or if I did find it the price was very high. Do you have any suggestions?

Older mint products, from 1980 to 1999, are fairly easy to find because they made fewer products and larger quantities of each. By 2000, the mint started issuing many more products by starting sets and series of coins and making far fewer in quantities of each. This year (2013) the mint is making 200 different items. I am not sure which items you are looking for, but you have picked the perfect time to inquire. We’ve just finished buying the largest collection of mint products I have ever seen. There were over 100 boxes filled with almost every mint item from 1995 to 2006. We are just starting to fill our cases with these items and are pricing them well below our regular retail prices. You should come in next week to take a look and phone me, if there is a specific item you are needing.

See a free demonstration of the ancient art of falconry and learn about the natural ecology and behaviour of birds of prey at the Richmond Raptor Festival at Terra Nova Rural Park on Sunday, Aug. 18 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Majestic birds of prey from Pacific Northwest Raptors will perform spectacular flying displays as their handlers share an extensive knowledge of the birds. Spectators will enjoy an entertaining and educational talk about raptor behaviour and hunting and learn about environmental concerns and conservation. There will be many opportunities to meet the birds up close and take photographs between demonstrations. “The birds are a fascinating bunch, each species has its own

amazing set of skills and each individual has its own incredible story and quirky personality,” says Robyn Radcliffe of Pacific Northwest Raptors. “People always want to know why our birds don’t fly away – on occasion, they go on adventures to return later – it comes down to them realizing life is easier with us. “Raptors always want to conserve energy, which means that receiving free meals and health care, and having admiring fans watching them every day, is not too bad.” This popular free event is hosted by the City of Richmond and sponsored by the Vancouver International Airport Authority and the Richmond Nature Park Society. Flight demonstrations

take place at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Between flights you can enjoy the festival atmosphere and visit information booths presented by local and provincial conservation groups. The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society will present a talk at 12:30 p.m., while John Neville, President of BC Nature, will deliver a presentation on Raptors of Canada at 2:30 p.m. Event admission is free. Terra Nova Rural Park is located at 2631 Westminster Highway. Follow the signs from No. 1 Road and Westminster Highway. There is no parking on site, pedestrian access only. For more information on the Raptor Festival and other upcoming events, visit www.richmond. ca/parksprograms.

Ask the Experts Q: What are the hottest IT jobs out there? A:

Q: What is presbyopia? A:

Presbyopia usually occurs beginning at around age 40, when people experience blurred near vision when reading, sewing or working at the computer. Presbyopia is caused by an age-related process. This differs from astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness, which are related to the shape of the eyeball and are caused by genetic and environmental factors. Presbyopia generally is believed to stem from a gradual thickening and loss of flexibility of the natural lens inside your eye. Eyeglasses with bifocal or progressive addition lenses (PALs) are the most common correction for presbyopia. Bifocal means two points of focus: the main part of the spectacle lens contains a prescription for distance vision, while the lower portion of the lens holds the stronger near prescription for close work.

Advertising Feature

Regular IT jobs are not the hot commodity they used to be and salaries have somewhat stagnated. Programmers are in hot demand but it’s often a sweat shop environment. Both groups tend to burn out in their 40’s and head towards work that’s easier on the brains with fewer and more regular hours of employment.

To hit the high notes you have to be more than just one of the pack. Being in IT plus specializing in one and preferably more of the following fields will bump up your money making prospects and give you long term stability. Technological forensics, business management with leadership programs, criminal, civil and legislative law, and a recognized security certification combined with a government license such as required by law for IT Security Consultants and professional Private Investigators. Those will make you one hot commodity. Have a look at BCIT’s programs, excellent and highly recommended. I should know, I’m an alumni and now guest lecture in their computer crime investigations programs.

Q: Should I pay for a professional

I’m fairly new to working out and people keep telling me that deadlifts are bad for your back. I like this exercise but should I avoid it?

home inspection before I purchase?

Home buyers are often confused by this question, and are steered in different directions depending on who they rely on. Having a good or a bad inspection experience will definitely influence your decision when you are excited about purchasing a home. Just remember…..Buyer beware! If you do not take the time and effort to do your due diligence before you buy, you take responsibility for what you buy. A home inspection can cost $350 to $1000’s of dollars, depending on what you need (pool inspection, a furnace or solar system check will be an additional cost, but can save you $$$$ in the future) The answer is really quite simple. If you are comfortable doing your own inspection, then do it. It is totally your choice. If you are not, then ask for recommendations from your sphere and your Realtor, and pick someone that you feel is a good fit for you. Check their credentials, book the appointment and attend the inspection. Many inspectors do not check appliances, so make sure that happens. You will learn where the water/gas shut-offs are, about the electrical panel details, roof condition, is there asbestos? Is there evidence of mice? and so much more. An inspector cannot cut holes in the walls, or see inside sealed areas, but they have tools like moisture meters that allow them to take readings of the levels of moisture in questionable areas. Make sure you understand what they are doing, and why. If you choose your buyer’s agent wisely, the home inspectors your agent recommends are most likely of the same caliber as the agent. No reputable real estate agent will withhold information from a buyer or induce a third-party Seller to withhold information. If you have any questions, ask them prior to removing your ‘subject to inspection’. Anything that changes your contract needs to be in writing and signed by all parties before subject removal.

To be blunt, deadlifts are actually quite the opposite - disputably one the best strength training exercises a person can do in the gym. The deadlift, when performed correctly, is a great exercise for developing and strengthening the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings. This group of muscles is often referred to as the “posterior chain” which is an integral part of walking, running, jumping, posture, and simply lifting things off the ground. The key, as with any exercise, is to develop proper technique and add weight progressively as your strength allows. Deadlifts are a good thing. Start slow and get real results. Yours in health, Isaac Payne

More to Audi’s S7 Sportback than just a pretty face by Lorne Drury Special to Black Press

he four-door coupe is a relatively new design concept thanks to Mercedes-Benz and its CLS model, but in my opinion no one does it better than Audi with its 2013 S7 Sportback.

This is one beautiful automobile, as it should be when you push the envelope north of the $100K mark as it was with my recent tester. Audi has been very successful with its S line of high-performance vehicles. It’s a rather simple formula— simply replace the A designation with an S on your more powerful, sporty models. Other German automakers like Mercedes-Benz with its AMG line and BMW with its M series have followed a similar, successful path. To get to the S7, Audi starts with its more sedate A7 sedan and its 310 hp 3.0-litre V6 engine and plops in a 4.0-litre twin turbo V8, pushing out 420 hp and 405 lb/ft of torque. Add in a sport air suspension, Audi’s legendary Quattro allwheel drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission with manual-shifting S tronic, and you have yourself a very potent sports sedan.

In past years, most people who have the financial wherewithal to own a car like this would have had little or no interest in fuel economy, but times are changing and so is the technology in vehicles like this. For example, the S7 has a cylinder management system whereby four cylinders are shut down under light power loads to save fuel. What I feel is one of the nicest features of the four-passenger S7 is its hatchback design. The hatchback, or sportback as Audi calls it, opens high and wide to reveal a fairly spacious cargo area of 399 litres with the rear seats upright. The other thing that strikes me about the S7 is the fact that this is a high-performance sports car that you could actually live with on a daily basis. With a weight of 2,045 kg (4,499 lb), the S7 is not a small car, but it handles like one and manoeuvres easily in tight urban parking lots, thanks in part to its speed-sensitive power steering. This gives it a very respectable turning circle of 11.9 m (39 ft) for a car that is 4,980 mm in length with a wheelbase of 2,916 mm. But take the car out on a highspeed course, like the German Autobahn, where the car is really meant to be driven, and the S7 would really come to life.

Audi S7 Sportback

The 2013 Audi S7 Sportback has a high-performance 4.0-litre V8 engine with twin turbos.

Unfortunately I didn’t have that opportunity, but I loved the car nevertheless. The twin turbos help the 4.0-litre engine propel the S7 from 0-100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds with a top speed limited to 250 km/h, even though we’ve heard the top end is actually closer to the 300 km/h range. The seven-speed transmission is silky smooth in automatic mode or you can shift manually if you wish with the steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive

means the S7 would make a fine four-season automobile, even in our inclement winter weather here in the Great White North. The S7 comes nicely outfitted with a starting price of $89,300. Our tester had a variety of optional features, taking the as-tested price up to $106,995 plus $1,995 in freight and destination charges. Inside the cabin, the S7 looks and feels like a premium automobile should. I loved the beigelayered inlays of trim, one of my passengers less so. Otherwise, it was thumbs up all

BODY STYLE: four-passenger, four-door premium sport sedan. ENGINE: 4.0-litre DOHC 32-valve V8 with twin turbochargers (420 hp, 405 lb/ft of torque). DRIVE METHOD: Quattro allwheel drive. CARGO CAPACITY: 399 litres with rear seats up, 1,040 with seats folded. FUEL ECONOMY: 12.7L/100 km city, 8.3L/100 km highway. PRICE: $89,300, as tested $106,995 plus $1,995 freight and PDI. round. The heavily bolstered power sport seats are covered in highend Valcona leather and are extremely comfortable except when you have to slip up and over the high lip on the seat bottom. All the toys are here to make driving enjoyable, particularly at night with the night vision system and a cabin that lights up like the cockpit of an aircraft at night. A week with the S7 is enough to make you realize that if money were no object, this car is a keeper.

increasing number of “entry-level” luxury sedans, meaning that it is loaded with luxury content and options at a price usually starting in the $40,000-bracket. Infiniti sedans have always been handsome to look at and the Q50 improves on that with a larger, more pronounced grille and two dramatic character lines that start on each corner of the grille and part the hood from the fenders like a huge wave. The Q50 sedan is offered with a 3.7-litre DOHC V6 producing 328 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque or as a Hybrid with the addition of a 67 hp electric motor and 50 kW battery for a combined 360 hp and 214 lb/ft or torque. Premium gasoline is recommended and both models are available with rear- or allwheel-drive. Pricing, depending on trim level and option packages, ranges from $37,500-$47,950 for the Q50 RWD and $43,400-$51,750 for the Q50 AWD while the Q50 Hybrid is $47,000$56,450.

It takes the Q50 beyond the audio alert and steering wheel rumble of other, more common lane departure systems. Using cameras, it enhances on-centre driving with subtle steering corrections so the driver isn’t constantly fine-tuning the direction with the wheel. And while the Q50 comes with “normal” steering, another part of the Tech Package option is what Infiniti calls Direct Adaptive Steering. You know it as flyby-wire as used in passenger aircraft and the space shuttle. It has a sensor that reads how much the driver moves the steering wheel and sends a message electrically to the steering box without there being a direct connection to the wheels. So what happens to the steering if there is a power/computer failure? A redundant steering shaft comes into play through an electric clutch that connects a steering rod to the box.

he Kigoos are tired of being best men and bridesmaids.

They came agonizingly close last year, finishing second and within 300 points of White Rock Guppies, of securing their first provincial championship since 1991. They’ve been close before too, frequently placing in the top three. But a two-plus decade drought is long enough. “We’re really looking to build on the success of last year, although we don’t quite have the numbers in the upper divisions as we’ve had in previous years,” Kigoos’ head coach Danna Batara says. “But those senior swimmers are still some of the best in the province and we’re expecting our younger bunch to place high as well.” The B.C. Summer Swimming Association finals are a three-day event, kicking off Friday at the Spani Outdoor Pool in Coquitlam. “We’ve had a really good season so far, with our club having the biggest turnout at every

meet we’ve gone to,” says Batara. “Winning the majority of those meets set us up well for regionals where again we had a great turnout (120 swimmers), won the meet, and had some fantastic swims.” Twenty-nine Kigoos

(20 of them in multiple events) have qualified to swim at the provincials, with an additional 20 qualifying in relays. Four athletes have consistently stood out this season, and did so again at regionals. Nicholas Kennedy (Division 2

boys) qualified in four individual events and won three of them. And Andrew McCoy (Division 4 boys) and Anita Rudakov (Division 6 girls) earned best times in each event they participated. But Elizabeth Suen has perhaps best exemplified the Kigoos’ noted work ethic, enabling her to garner considerable success this season. Breaking two longstanding records in the Division 5 girls’ 50-metre freestyle (31.26 seconds) and 100-metre butterfly (one minute, 10.76 seconds) at the recent Fraser South regionals, Suen has shown an extreme dedication to training. “She had some really clear goals in mind prior to the start of the summer and done all she could to achieve them,” said Batara. “It is no surprise to us (coaches) that she has had such a successful season. She does have a lot of talent, but it was also through her hard work and ambition that she was able to maximize her potential. “ Suen is unable to participate in the provincials this weekend, but Batara says “there is no doubt that she would have done exceptionally well.”

Crisologo and San Pedro enjoying success on links by Don Fennell Sports Editor Two Richmond teens are having themselves quite a summer on the links. In their latest feat, Chris Crisologo and Diego San Pedro teamed up with Kevin Vigna and Joo Hoo Lee of Coquitlam to form the Team BC junior men’s winning entry in the 45th Eddie Hogan

Cup Team Matches last weekend at the Riverside Country Club in Portland. Team BC capped the 12-team invitational, which featured golfers from throughout the Western U.S. and Hawaii, with a final-round score of five-under par to finish the 36-hole event at plus 3—two stokes better than second-place Washington. Vigna

topped the field with a two-day total of 141, while San Pedro came in at 147 and Crisologo at 152. Crisologo and San Pedro were both teed off the in Junior America’s Cup in Hawaii in July and in May, Crisologo earned the low overall score as well as the junior boys’ title in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s junior worlds qualifier.

Canada off to 5-1 start at Pan-Ams With a pair of Richmond athletes in starting roles, the Canadian senior women’s softball team keeps rolling at the VIII Pan American championship on through Sunday in San Juan, Puerto Rico. With Sara Hopwood providing timely batting and Marina Demore solid pitching, Canada im-

proved to 5-1 Wednesday with an 8-1 win over Guatemala 8-1 in six innings on the run rule. Demore settled in nicely after allowing a run and four hits in the first two innings to earn the win. This event will serve as a qualifier for the 2014 ISF Women’s World Championship July 18-24, 2014

in Haarlem, Netherlands and also for the 2015 Pan American Games, which will be held in July, 2015 in Toronto, ON. Canada recently finished fourth at both the US World Cup of Softball VIII in Oklahoma City and the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship in Surrey.

and I’ll have to change a few things before because we know each other pretty well. We’ll see how it goes.” Gordon is one of the top young fencers in the world, winning the top prize in the junior saber world cup in 2012 and placed second in his debut at the National Collegiate Athletic Association championships last season which earned him All-American honours as a freshman. Team BC is fourth place overall in medal standings at the Canada Summer Games with a total of 71— 22 gold, 19 silver and 30 bronze. •This has already been the most successful Canada Summer Games ever for members of Richmond-

Clan third in pre-season poll At the old ball game Men’s soccer team features local talent Colin Jacques The first National Soccer Coaches Association of America national ranking of the 2013 men’s soccer season came out Tuesday as the NSCAAmerica released their pre-season polls and the Simon Fraser University men’s soccer team was ranked third. Featuring Richmond talent Colin Jacques at forward, the Clan are the top ranked team in the west region, com-

ing in behind Lynn and Saginaw Valley State respectively, who finished first and second in the NCAA tournament last season. “It’s nice to be ranked but honestly, it means nothing, especially in the pre-season,” said headcoach Alan Koch. “The only thing that matters moving forward is wins and losses. Lynn University are the national vhampions and

somebody will have to try to dethrone them. Why not us?” SFU enters the 2013 season as Great Northwest Athletic Conference and NCAA west region champions. The Clan are coming off a season that saw them go 19-2-1 and become the first ever international school to win a game and reach the semifinal of the NCAA tournament.

Containers hold homes in Downtown Eastside Affordable housing is taking a new twist with a complex in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside built from old shipping containers. A dozen containers have been converted into apartments, each with about 290 square feet of living space. Every home includes a private bathroom, kitchen and in-suite laundry, as well as huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The project was built through a partnership between Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, Atira Women’s Resource

Society, BC Hydro and several other community partners. The aim was to provide safe, affordable housing for women in the Downtown Eastside. “We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this development,” says Atira Women’s Resource Society CEO Janice Abbott. “Atira has the vision and the tenacity to see this project through a precedent-setting development process, despite criticism and opposition. ... The building and individual suites look better than we ever could have imagined.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Construction began on Nov. 30, 2012, and every home was completed by July of this year. Six of the homes will be social housing for older women, while the remaining six will be rented at Housing Income Limits rental rates. The residents of the social housing homes will be women with roots in the Downtown Eastside who will be mentoring younger women living next door at the Imouto Housing for Young Women through Atira’s Intergenerational Mentorship Program. Residents will be able to take possession on Sept. 1. “This shipping container housing development serves to show us that with creative thinking we can work to ensure that everyone has access to safe and secure housing,” says Miriam Sobrino, chair of Atira’s board of directors. The project was inspired by BC Hydro’s “House of the Future”, which was also made from recycled shipping containers and was placed on the front lawn of BC Hydro’s office during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. BC Hydro donated the house after the end of the Games. Two other containers were donated, and the remaining eight were purchased through the Port of Vancouver. For more information, visit www.atira.bc.ca.

The townhomes at Polygon’s Lakeside include executive-level features such as stainless-steel appliances, a kitchen island, laminate flooring and engineered stone countertops, above. Buyers will be able to take advantage of some amazing amenities, including living right on Sunstone Lake, below right.

Executivestyle living at Lakeside By Kerry Vital

Polygon’s Sunstone master-planned community in North Delta is the perfect family-friendly neighbourhood, with amenities, plenty of outdoor space and gorgeous homes. Now the community is adding elegance with Lakeside, threebedroom townhomes right in the heart of Sunstone.

“Nothing has been built like this in years,” says Lakeside sales manager Theresa Liljedahl. “These are true executive-level townhomes.” Lakeside brings something special to Sunstone with its master-on-main floorplan, the Seaside Series. “There’s been a high demand for homes with the master on the main floor,” Liljedahl says. “People have been waiting years for this. It’s all-on-one-level living.” The upper floor includes two more bedrooms and a flex room, giving buyers options for how they want to use their space. The second floorplan at Lakeside, the Hampton Series, features all three bedrooms on the upper level. Most homes are over 2,000 square feet, giving you tons of space to entertain or relax. Curb appeal is not in short supply at Lakeside. The homes are built using classic

Seaside architecture, with pitched roofs, stone and wood detailing and window boxes. Street-fronting homes include picket fencing and stone post entry gates to complement the architecture. Buyers will be able to enjoy time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. You’ll also love your private fenced yard. The kitchen in your new home is a prime example of the high-quality finishings you’ll find at Lakeside. With engineered stone countertops, a marble backsplash, customdesigned, naturally stained quarter oak flat panel or white painted Shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, your kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef. It’s also the perfect place to entertain with its kitchen island. Select homes include a large walk-in pantry for extra storage. Laminate flooring is featured throughout

the main living areas. Radiant in-floor heating will keep you warm and comfortable no matter what the weather is doing. “It’s a wonderful way of heating a home,” says Liljedahl. Nine-foot ceilings on the main level add to the sense of spaciousness in the home, with some homes featuring vaulted ceilings in the living room. Your new living room also holds an electric fireplace with custom surround. The master ensuite bathroom is made for pampering, with its oversized soaker tub, separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents and marble countertops. It also features his-and-hers sinks, a large vanity mirror and porcelain tile flooring. Every home has a main floor powder room for maximum convenience, with its own porcelain tile flooring and elegant pedestal sink or vanity with undermount sink. Sunstone is home to some pretty amazing amenities. The 12,000-square-foot Sunstone Club includes an outdoor pool, gym, fireside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, outdoor stage and several trails for walking or cycling. A shopping village is in the works for the future, and an urban community garden is moments away. When you venture off the property, you’ll find schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby. Homes start in the low $600,000s. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-585-7107 or visit the presentation centre at 10500 Delsom Avenue, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.
