Richmond rallies to help typhoon-ravaged Philippines Non-perishable food, clothing and blankets needed most

Staff Reporter

IKEA sues union over use of store logo But union claims IKEA doesn’t own logo used in brochure highlighting dispute

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter IKEA has filed a lawsuit against the union representing workers involved in a long running labour dispute in an effort to protect its yellow-and-blue logo.

In a statement of claim submitted to B.C. Supreme Court, IKEA Canada Limited Partnership claims Teamsters Local 213 is using the Swedish furniture retailer’s copyright-protected logo in flyers without consent.

“The defendants knew or ought to have known that the plaintiff owned the copyright in the IKEA logo,” states the document, filed by lawyer Stephanie Gutierrez for IKEA. “The defendants are engaging in copyright infringement with the intention of achieving a collective agreement on terms more favourable to and preferential to the union that could be achieved without illegal acts.”

Teamsters Local 213 represents approximately 325 workers at the Richmond furniture store on Jacombs Road. They’ve been out of work since May 13, when pickets went up.

Martin van den Hemel photo Ronaldo Dulay from LBC Mundial Cargo Corporation, said his company is offering free boxes and free shipping of goods destined for the Philippines. Needed most are non-perishable foods, clothing and blankets.

The local community is rallying together following last week’s devastating super typhoon that smashed the central Philippines and reportedly killed more than one thousand people and left more than a million people homeless.

Typhoon Haiyan was the strongest recorded storm in history to make landfall, according to The Weather Channel, and the 380 km/h winds combined with a 30-foot-high storm surge, left many bustling cities and villages virtually unrecognizable.

Nancy Lebreton, an immigration consultant, recently returned from the Philippines, where she was moved by the generosity of its people.

Now she wants to help return the favour.

Lebreton suffered an arm infection, and needed hospitalization, but because of a theft, didn’t have any money to pay for her medical expenses.

So Kristine Ong, a nurse, and Danielle Dach Casiple, who runs a school in the town of Calinog in the province of Iloilo, came to her aid, regularly changing her bandages and bringing food.

Iloilo was one of the areas hardest struck by Typhoon Haiyan.

Casiple said in a text message to Lebreton that the storm destroyed much of their town.

“It’s really bad out there. Everything is down. Our school got ruined! ...it’s horrible...Our town almost got wiped out and everyone is just so down...I am really helpless now and panicky. We cannot have class as almost all schools are ruined including ours. I don’t know how this will all come to pass but i know it will,” Casiple wrote.

While one Richmond elementary school was rushing to collect food and clothing for shipment later this week, another group was organizing a fundraiser, and a Filipino newspaper was planning a telethon.

Meanwhile a local cargo company was doing its part to help too.

LBC Mundial Cargo Corporation’s Ronaldo Dulay said his firm is providing free boxes, shipping and delivery for all goods earmarked for its relief efforts.

Amanda Oye photos The Remembrance Day parade.

Richmond honours veterans at Remembrance Day ceremony Hundreds gathered around Richmond City Hall on Monday to remember and pay tribute to those who fought for Canada’s freedom.

A parade featuring veterans, cadets and members of the military started off the day.

This was followed by the annual ceremony outside of Richmond City Hall, where Bob Mullett played the “Last Post,” which was followed by a moment of silence.

Coun. Harold Steves, Mayor Malcolm Brodie and Coun. Bill McNulty at the cenotaph.

The ceremony wrapped up with the placing of official Remembrance Day 4: Bob Mullett, who played the Last Post. wreaths, which were all laid down by the cenotaph by representatives of the three levels of government as well as various community and military groups.

After the ceremony, attendees scattered their poppies amongst the wreaths and then headed inside Richmond City Hall for a reception.

Legion humbled by public’s response after flags stolen Theft left Legion without a flag for Remembrance Day

by Martin van den Hemel Staff reporter

A photo of a Walmart parody sign encourages citizens to attend Monday’s public hearing. See page 17 for a feature about the Walmart proposal.

Friday’s discovery that 10 flags had been stolen from the Royal Canadian Legion branch No. 291 on Bridgeport Road left Bob Miller shaking his head.

But by the time Remembrance Day came, his heart was filled with awe.

The theft had left the legion’s veterans without the flags they needed for the Nov. 11 ceremonies.

After the public learned of what happened, many stepped forward to offer a hand.

Two flags were donated by the Boy Scouts of Canada, three by the Richmond Olympic Oval, and eight flags were shipped over from the Tsawwassen legion branch.

Others drove by to donate their Canadian flags.

“It was rather heartwarming,”said Miller, the legion’s

vice president.“It totally left me in awe. I was humbled by it all.”

Richmond RCMP received a report of a theft after a Legion staffer noticed a locked container had been broken into.

Reported missing were two seven-foot-tall ski bags that contained 10 flags and 10 brass flag poles. Two of the flags were labelled Legion 291.

The others were Canadian flags. Richmond RCMP Corporal Stephanie Ashton urged the thieves to do the right thing.

“I hope that out of respect for the significance these flags hold, someone will come forward with information about the flags so that we can get them back to the legion.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, there was no word about the stolen flags.

Said Miller: “We just want the items returned. We don’t care who stole them.”

No suspects have been identified at this time. Anyone with information about this theft can call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

IKEA takes union to court From Page 1 IKEA launched the court action Oct. 18 and followed with further action a week later, seeking an interim injunction to restrain the union from using IKEA’s intellectual property.

According to the court action, at the end of September IKEA learned that picketers were handing out flyers containing the store logo. IKEA also found the logo on the union’s Facebook page.

IKEA claims it advised

City of Richmond

the union of its alleged copyright infringement, and demanded it cease and desist. But IKEA says the union failed to stop, and conducted a mass mail-out of a flyer with the words “LOCKED OUT” placed over an IKEA logo.

City Board

Amendment to the 5 Year Financial Plan (2013-2017) Bylaw No. 8990 The Community Charter requires that Council adopt a 5 Year Financial Plan each year prior to the adoption of the Annual Property Tax Rates Bylaw. The Community Charter also allows for amendments to the 5 Year Financial Plan.

Subsequent to the adoption of the City’s 5 Year Financial Plan (2013-2017) Bylaw No. 8990 on February 25, 2013, additional opportunities and projects have emerged. The current expenditure bylaw does not include these amounts.

Therefore the City is proposing to amend its 5 Year Financial Plan Bylaw.

The proposed amendment to the 5 Year Financial Plan (2013-2017) Bylaw 8990, Amendment Bylaw 9060 is currently available in PDF format on the City Web site at www.richmond.ca/cityhall/finance/reporting/fiveyear.htm.

The City is required by the Community Charter to undertake a process of public consultation before the amendment is adopted by Council, and to this end; please submit your feedback via email to finance@richmond.ca by November 21, 2013.

It is anticipated that Amendment Bylaw 9060 will be considered by Council for adoption at the Regular Council Meeting of November 25, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Public delegations at the Council Meeting are also permitted with regard to this bylaw.

The mail-out included addresses throughout Metro Vancouver but not Richmond, according to court documents.

But the union claims IKEA doesn’t own the logo in question. In a statement of defence filed last Friday, the union says the logo is actually owned by Inter Ikea Systems B.V.—not IKEA Canada—according to the Canadian Intellectual Property database.

Even if IKEA owns the logo, the union claims the design “lacks originality and/or is not an artist work as defined by the Copyright Act,” according to the statement. Further, the union claims it doesn’t need IKEA’s consent to reproduce the logo, “as the union was exercising its constitutionally protected freedoms of expression and association in the context of a lawful labour dispute.”

Workers have been without a contract since Dec. 31, 2012, when their collective agreement expired. An earlier attempt to find a resolution through mediation failed.

Community rallies to help Philippines From Page 1 Dulay said LBC has a 30-year-old foundation in the Philippines that works closely with the Red Cross and will ensure the donations get to the hardest-hit areas. What’s needed most is non-perishable food, clothing and blankets, he said.

Requests for cardboard boxes can be made to lbcvan501@gmail.com or butch@lbcusa.net, and they will be dropped off.

Boxed goods ready for shipment can be dropped off at LBC’s Richmond office at 105-3840 Jacombs Rd. For more information, call 604-303-0199.

Dulay said with Christmas around the corner, his office normally handles about 400 calls per day as locals prepare to ship gifts to relatives in the Philippines in time for the December holiday. His phones only expect to get busier because of relief efforts connected to the typhoon.

The Philippines has been hit hard by calamities in the past, but this is the worst he’s seen in four decades, Dulay said.

“It really breaks my heart,” he said, his voice cracking.

Meanwhile, at St. Joseph the Worker School, principal Paul Fraser said students, parents and staff are hastily gathering together goods for shipment.

Fraser said what’s needed most are canned goods that don’t require can openers or cooking. Also sought are donations of clean, lightly-used clothing, as well as blankets.

Items collected at St. Joseph will ship Friday.

“It’s overwhelming,” Fraser said, noting that the school’s community has been directly touched by the storm. “It was hard to imagine what was there beforehand...It looked like a post-war aftermath.”

Locals wanting to donate non-perishable foods through St. Joseph’s efforts are asked to make arrangements by calling the school at 604-277-1115.

At St. Paul Parish, Father Dennis Luterbach said the parish will donate $10,000, and inviting its parishioners to give whatever they can to the relief efforts.

The FIRST Society (Filipinos in Richmond Support Team) is planning to fundraise at a local mall, but hasn’t yet managed to secure a place.

The Philippine Canadian Inquirer newspaper was planning a telethon starting after press time Tuesday, calling on friends and the community to help in any way they can.

Minister blasted for Agricultural Land Commission interference

by Jeff Nagel Black Press A non-partisan government watchdog says B.C. Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm must resign from cabinet for directly lobbying the Agricultural Land Commission.

IntegrityBC argues Pimm crossed a clear line requiring cabinet ministers not interfere with the independence of judges or quasi-judicial commissions like the

City of Richmond

ALC when he urged the commission over the spring and summer to reverse its decision against allowing a rodeo grounds and campground as a non-farm use on a parcel of Fort St. John farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

“When a minister crosses that line, the minister resigns,”IntegrityBC executive director Dermod Travis said.“He didn’t cross it just once. He crossed it a multitude of times.

Pimm first wrote to the ALC on the is-

City Board

sue May 17 as an MLA elect—two days after the provincial election—to express “concern” with the initial decision.

Pimm’s staffers contacted the ALC once more in June and twice on July 25, when his ministerial assistant said Pimm wanted to know the outcome of the ALC’s reconsideration. That led the ALC to issue a July 26 policy statement scolding Pimm’s representations as “not appropriate” lest

it lead to an impression of the commission being politically influenced.

Pimm told CKNW Monday he has stopped making direct interventions in files with the ALC, but feels he did nothing wrong and was merely acting in his advocacy role as an MLA on an issue of local concern. Travis said he clearly continued to act on the file after becoming minister in June.

EDITORIAL: NDP can lick wounds all they want

T

he ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter.

But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in self-flagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review that was released Friday.

The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest.

Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (according to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest rated premier in the country). She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house.

True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way.

But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking you thought the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election). When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thick-skinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode.

The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case.

Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese. Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping a hungry eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

Untangling oil pipeline politics

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

R

eaction was swift and scattered after the “framework agreement” on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford.

First, here’s what it doesn’t mean.

“B.C. blinked,” according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil. Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up.

Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times.

NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was

re-elected.

This is also inaccurate.

Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding approval by a federal environmental review, “worldleading” spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal communities, and the undefined “fair share” for B.C. Clark said numerous times during the campaign that the conditions have not been met, and made pessimistic noises about Northern Gateway, but she very carefully did not campaign against it.

The B.C. Liberal platform also endorsed a Kitimatarea oil refinery proposed by this newspaper’s owner, and Clark repeatedly referred to that sort

of industrial expansion as one of the potential “fair share” components for B.C. The B.C. Liberal government made its opposition to Northern Gateway “as currently proposed” official on May 31, two weeks after the election, in its final submission to the federal review panel. If Clark had wanted to jump on the anti-pipeline bandwagon for political gain, that move could have been made earlier.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the B.C. government has taken the position that more oil will reach the West Coast, by rail if not by pipeline. I’m not sure if or when that claim was made, but it’s true that rail shipments are already permitted.

Here’s what Redford and Clark agreed on.

Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year.

A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version next spring.

Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate.

Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over inter-provincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal

by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries

in Washington.

If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines.

Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas.

None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met.

Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

A $2 million parking lot Editor: Re: Massey Tunnel off-ramp improvements, Nov. 10.

The provincial Ministry of Transportation has erected a sign on Highway 99 announcing $2 million project to upgrade the Highway 99/Steveston Highway off-ramp.

When I contacted the City of Richmond‘s transportation department they knew nothing about it.

I later found out that the ministry plans to create two lanes to exit Highway 99 northbound on the north end of the Massey tunnel so they can then merge back into one lane again at Steveston Highway. This plan only moves traffic congestion from one point to another. If the ministry would just consult with the City of Richmond they could have spent that $2 million actually achieving something, instead of wasting more tax payer money. In the time it took to erect the sign and update the web site the ministry has reduced the cost to $1.2 million. What happened to $800,000?

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said that Mayor Malcolm Brodie was selfish when he did not support the new bridge plan even

Grade 1 - 12

though Mayor Brodie is 100 per cent right when he says the new bridge would simply move the choke point in traffic to the Oak Street Bridge.

The biggest bully of all is Port Metro Vancouver. It purchased the pristine Gilmore farmland for future expansion of warehouses which would ignore the rules set out by the Agricultural Land Commission. It also supports shipment of jet fuel to a new marine terminal and has a major conflict of interest because they plan to lease land to a consortium for construction of six storage tanks which would all be six storey’s tall and they could hold 80 million liters of jet fuel. Port Metro Vancouver also supports demolition of the Massey Tunnel to allow for massive expansion of the Surrey docks. The tunnel controls the growth of the ports because currently vessels can only be loaded to a draft of 11.5 meters and with the tunnel gone could allow for a draft of 13.5 metres.

Back in the 1950s when the Deas Island / Massey Tunnel was planned they talked about an offramp at to loop back to Steveston

Highway, which would have eliminated the light at the Steveston Highway off-ramp and allowed for much better traffic flow. This plan is a far better use of the $2 million.

Another option is allowing for use of the redundant Rice Mill Road highway overpass by connecting Rice Mill road to Steveston Highway and allowing for traffic to avoid the No. 5 Road and Steveston Highway interchange altogether. Alternatively one of the new double exit lanes could loop back to Rice mill Road and again reduce pressure on Steveston and No. 5.

We need smart people making smart decisions based on consultation with the City of Richmond, city council and the people affected by these decisions. Taxpayers dollars are at stake and they need to know we are fed up with living with poorly thought out decisions and demand more co-operation between the province of B.C., the federal government and the City of Richmond.

We need to make the province listen and learn.

Deflating reputation Editor: Let’s see—the banishment of automobiles from Lululemon Castle’s roadway moat, massive graffiti ‘tags’ visually polluting a public beachscape, a declaration that only women of a certain size should consider wearing their products, and hugely extravagant parties attended by “Mayor Moonbeam” (the official Court Jester?) and other Lords and Ladies of the realm.

Does Kwantlen Polytechnic really want to be associated with these kinds of values and behaviours? Even though colleges and universities all have facilities made possible by contributions from wealthy patrons, would it be unjustifiable to wonder if the creation of the new Lululemon-supported Chip and Shannon Wilson School of Design at Kwantlen’s Richmond campus might be a more self-serving initiative than all the rest?

Beware! As Baron Thomas B. Dewar (18641930) once noted: “Nothing deflates so fast as a punctured reputation.”

Editor: I drove past our favorite tree early this morning. With the car window rolled down, and elbow protruding, as if to hold the window there, I breathed in deep the sweet perfume of autumn.

The bright soft green leaves of early spring now lay crisp on the frosty ground. The bold reds of the Canadian maple blanket the hatless acorns of the mighty oak, as sunlight filters through the evergreen splendor of the towering redwood pine.

It's our tree! The one we all share separately together. On our way to work, in the neighbors yard, back in a quiet corner of the park. The one we all know as the neighbourhood anchor.

Houses and neighbours come and go, but our tree remains a living constant.

It’s location and Autumn splendor are different for everyone of us, but it's so familiar in how it brings that moments pause in our daily hustle at this time of year.

We were all born in different places, grew up with different families and traditions.

From our diets to interests, religions, educations and location we all share an uncommon upbringing that is united in its beauty and wonder.

As a child you played under that tree. A few years go by and on a double dog dare you conquer it's lofty height. Then with your first love, under her dappled shadows, you steal your first kiss.

Then it becomes a backdrop for our wedding photos. And then in a flash of a moment its a canopy that protects a picnic with the kids. And then again, all too soon, your final wedding vow is fulfilled, and time finds you alone with all your memories, as you sit on a bench in its cool shade on a warm Summer afternoon.

Our tree. For one more beautiful autumn, its deep rooted continuity in our lives has again brought us to pause and marvel.

Volunteer program is one method of deterring snow geese from school fields

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond’s parks department has enlisted 18 recruits this season to unleash four-legged fear on the growing numbers of snow geese feeding on local fields.

Volunteer handlers and their dogs are now patrolling over 15 schools and parks to scare away the fowl, in addition to the city’s own dog hazing program, according to acting manager of parks programs Dee Bowley-Cowan.

Each fall, up to 100,000 snow geese fly south to the Fraser River delta. They’ve traditionally fed on intertidal marsh plants, but in recent years have moved inland, feeding on farm fields, parks, school fields and even backyards.

In a recent update to city council’s parks committee, Bowley-Cowan noted the city’s snow goose education program, run through the Richmond Nature Park, is already fully booked for elementary school classes this fall.

She also noted the city is working with Vancouver Airport Authority to deter geese through a new falconry program. A winter cover crop program, which offer farmers cash to grow crops that attract the geese, is a further attempt to deter the fowl from unwanted sites.

Have you ever felt off, only to be rebuffed by your family doctor who can’t figure out what ails you?

Richmond naturopath Dr. Raj Jheeta said you don’t have to be ill in order to feel off your game.

There are any number of reasons why a person might feel less than 100 per cent, he said.

“We want to test to see how healthy people are, not how sick they are. That’s where the huge divergence is between the two health professions,” he said of traditional doctors and naturopaths or allopaths. “The

traditional system is diagnosis and treatment.”

What naturopaths do is perform blood, urine and saliva testing and look at parameters that suggest how healthy a person is.

Instead of searching for a disease, Jheeta looks at deficiencies.

For example, in the case of one patient with low hemoglobin levels, a previous course of treatment that involved increasing hemoglobin intake wasn’t working, and proving quite costly.

After doing his testing, Jheeta found the patient had low ferritin levels, a protein that helps the body to absorb hemoglobin.

By addressing that deficiency, the patients was able to absorb and retain their hemoglobin levels, which in turn raised hemoglobin levels and brought her back to better health.

Warm up with winter accessories

Celia Leung Fashion Stylist

W

ith the end of daylight savings time everyone’s gearing up for the change in seasons. Our closets may be packed with cozy sweaters and down jackets, but winter preparation isn’t complete without cold weather shoes and accessories. Here are some ideas on incorporating accessory trends to stay stylishly warm in wet and frosty conditions.

Other than a good coat, shoes are one of the main components

of dress that can determine whether you’ll be dry and toasty for the day, or drenched and freezing. Warm boots are an essential. Cute rainboots are a great pick for rainy fall days, but when the temperature drops, you’ll want something both stylish and functional. When shopping for a winter boot, you’ll want to look for enough insulation to keep your toes warm, so check the lining and insole material.

Shearling wool makes for a warm and comfortable option as does thermal material such as Thinsulate.

In addition to lining material, ensure your winter boots are waterproof and have enough traction. Wet leaves and icy sidewalks can easily lead to slips, so if you feel your favourite winter boots are doing more sliding than strolling, take

them into a shoe repair shop to replace the outsole. Since you want to keep in heat, opt for slim fit bottoms to tuck into your winter boots.

Pairing leggings, skinny jeans or tights with your boots will create a less bulky look. For a trendy option, try combat boots. Punk and grunge are huge for this season.

Rock some combat boots with tartan jeans and a leather jacket for a punk style. Or portray a grungier sensibility by wearing combat boots with an oversized cardigan, babydoll dress and black tights.

For scarves, circular versions are still a popular option, whether as an infinity scarf or a snood. Snoods are tubular neckwear that can be either worn as a scarf, or pulled over the head and lower face like a hood. Whereas infinity scarves are usually wrapped around

wise neutral ensemble, so go for chunky knit scarf or snood in a bold hue this winter. If you want to sport one of this season’s trends try wearing a plaid scarf.

Plaids, checks, tartans and houndstooth are hot patterns for fall and winter, and accessories are the perfect area to try out a trend. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns in your outfit

ternative. Scarves are a great way to add a pop of colour to an other-

— the key is to find patterned items with a similar colour palette.

Just like a colourful scarf can provide some much needed brightness to dreary grey days, the same can be said for a fun winter hat.

One easy-to-wear trend is a slouchy beanie.

Also known as a toque, look for beanies that are close-fitting around the head and loose on top for a slouchy style.

Man escaped serious injury in bullet-riddled car Richmond Mounties are continuing to investigate a Thursday night shooting on No. 3 Road, a half block south of Cambie, that left one man in a bullet-riddled vehicle suffering a superficial wound.

Early Friday afternoon, investigators announced they believed the incident wasn’t a random attack, on the 4400 block

of No. 3 Road.

Around 7 p.m. Thursday, Richmond RCMP were called to the downtown core of the city when witnesses reported multiple shots had been fired near the Water Cube, a fitness and massage facility.

Investigators seemed to be focusing on a silver Mercedes SUV that was parked directly in front

of the Water Cube, though images captured by a Black Press photographer don’t show any bullet holes.

Aside from the man in the car that avoided serious injury, witnesses reported seeing a man fleeing the scene at the time of the shooting.

Police haven’t yet been able to identify the suspect.

On Thursday, August 1, 2013, the Vancity Board of Directors approved a resolution to close all accounts that have been dormant for 10 years or more.

The proposed Central at Garden City shopping centre would be built on the north side of Alderbridge Way, screened by trees from the Garden City lands.

Decision looms for Walmart Department store would enter changing market that includes today’s opening of Target

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

W

almart is poised to enter a retail market in Richmond that has changed significantly since the discount department store made its first application to build here.

The multinational giant hopes to win approval from city council Monday to bring its brand to Richmond for the first time. If approved, Walmart would join a growing crowd of retailers jockeying for market position in the Island City.

The 10-year wait for a public hearing—set for 7 p.m. at Richmond City Hall—could be the longest of any retailer here. First proposed in 2003 in a relatively

untouched area just east of City Centre, the Walmart proposal triggered a complete rewrite of the West Cambie Area Plan. What followed were revisions, tweaks and additions to make it more appetizing to civic politicians and the public.

“At this point we feel we have done as much as we can, and council felt comfortable enough with this application to say that it was ready to go to public hearing,” said Sandra Kaiser, vicepresident of corporate affairs for SmartCentres, the developer proposing the project.

“I think it’s a good win for the community in what they’re getting, and we’re very pleased to be a part of it.”

A new retail landscape Since the developer first began assembling land near Alderbridge Way and Garden City Road, the retail landscape has changed in Richmond. Aberdeen Centre has been rebuilt and tripled in size.

Richmond Centre mall’s retail space has grown. Superstore on No. 3 Road has undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation.

On Sea Island, Vancouver Airport Authority is building a luxury designer outlet centre, with the 78 stores—the first phase— scheduled to open in late 2014.

Just outside Richmond’s borders another Walmart mall has risen in Queensborough, and at Marine Gateway in South Vancouver, a retail hub is planned.

Lansdowne Centre has also seen major new retailers move in, and today one of its most anticipated major retailers opens for business. Boasting a brightly renovated space with wide aisles, Target Canada opened the doors of its first department store in Richmond Wednesday morning.

But in an interview, Kaiser insisted competition is good for everyone, and Richmond’s growing population still makes the proposed 359,090-squarefoot $150-million Walmart mall a sound proposal.

“Given how much interest there’s been from tenants even knowing Target’s going in—we’ve known that for a while—we think it’s going to be a very healthy, very successful centre,” she said. “We feel very confident where we are.”

SmartCentres has proposed an open-air mall for West Cambie site From Page 17 Target is also feeling confident. Spokesperson Lisa Gibson told The Richmond Review there has been plenty of anticipation for Target’s Richmond store, and the retailer is expecting a surge in traffic and sales for its initial opening.

“Target is well-known for our exclusive brands and innovative partnerships and I think Richmond-area guests will be interested to see what sets Target apart from other retailers,” she said in an e-mail.

Making Target unique is the value of its products, exclusive brands and the store environment itself—a building previously home to now-defunct department stores Zellers and Eaton’s.

“We have completely renovated this site, inside and out, to bring the Target experience so guests will immediately notice how clean, well-lit and easy to navigate our stores are,” noted Gibson.

Following an exclusive party for “Target friends and family” Tuesday night, the store opened at 8 a.m. today, boasting in-store specials and a range of seasonal products for the Christmas season.

Park promised, critics remain SmartCentres isn’t ready to reveal what retailers could fill out its mall, dubbed Central at Garden City, but leasing information on its website suggests Marshalls and Bed Bath & Beyond would join banks and fast food outlets as Walmart’s neighbours in the West Cambie neighbourhood.

In winning council’s favour so far, SmartCentres has designed what would be one of its first open-air malls with a compact urban design. Kaiser said SmartCentres isn’t building to the site’s maximum allowable density to accommodate the “village centre” design of the mall.

It would be the first large commercial entity in Richmond to connect to a district energy utility, a move that’s part of achieving LEED silver status in building design. Public plazas, pedestrian walkways, bike lanes and street improvements that include a new road connection to the site are also planned.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Target opens its first location in Richmond Oct. 13, getting a head start on Walmart in the department store market.

SmartCentres would also create a passive public park atop a parking garage. But the green space won’t be high in the sky and out of sight. Varying grades will make the park accessible to pedestrians at street level, without stairs.

“If you were on Alexandra (Road) and walked into the green space, you wouldn’t know you were on a parking garage,” said SmartCentres’ Kaiser. “It will feel like a park.”

At the public hearing Nov. 18, SmartCentres representatives will offer a presentation to council, which will also hear from opponents. Council has heard from at least a few dozen people who’ve criticized a loss in green space, lost views from the Garden City lands and Walmart’s corporate practices.

One such opponent is local resident and Garden City lands activist Jim Wright, who told council the mall’s southern appearance would “devastate” views from the Garden City lands and contrasts with the north side, where SmartCentres refined its plans at the urging of neighbouring landholder Polygon.

“Citizens of that area deserve at least as much love from the City of Richmond as Polygon,” he said. “In my view the city has had systemic favouring of developers for so long that I felt a need to point it out in this crucial decision with the future of Richmond hanging in the balance.”

But since council paved the way for a

large-scale commercial project on the site by adopting a new area plan in 2006, a retail mall of some kind is almost a certainty here.

Council will vote on the file after listening to delegations Monday, unless it orders more refinements to the file—the longest running application SmartCentres’ Western Canada office.

Despite delays, Kaiser said the application has landed in a good place, one that “coincides quite perfectly” with the city’s area plan.

“In some ways we have enhanced the plan by adding a lot of sustainability features that were not envisioned in the West Cambie Area Plan.”

Although Walmart wouldn’t open its doors until the summer of 2016 at the earliest, the retail market is showing signs of strength— at least right now.

A report from Colliers International says Metro Vancouver’s shopping centres experienced strong levels of activity in the first six months of 2013. Its recent survey of foodanchored open-air shopping centres reveals Richmond had the greatest absorption levels in the region, leaving the city with a vacancy rate of a mere 0.8 per cent.

“Strong tenant demand within Metro Vancouver is anticipated to continue over the medium term, leading to overall decreased vacancy levels throughout the Greater Vancouver area,” according to the report.

IN MEMORIAM

Bill Harvey May 20, 1932 - Nov. 13, 2003

BRYAN, Jean (Shannon) She gave us wings to fly and a soft spot to land.

Long-time Richmond resident, Jean Bryan, passed away just a month shy of her 86th birthday. Her proud and grateful children are “the 5 Ks”: Kerry (Grant) Snider, Kim (Kim) Blaikie, and Kevin (Bert), all of Calgary, and Kit (Wendy) of North Delta. Five grandchildren, Bryan, Kate, Kyle, Amanda and Jeffrey; 2 great-grandchildren, Brent and Cash, join her many nieces and nephews and dear friend Sylvia in mourning her loss. Jean was pre-deceased by her husband Larry in 1978, daughter Kelly in 1998 and all 3 of her siblings, Peggy, Bill, and Ron. Born and raised in Kitsilano, Jean moved her young family to ‘Lulu Island’ in the 60’s and loved living near Steveston. She worked for PWA/Canadian Airlines for 25 years and in retirement, her love of the airlines took her back to the business as a Green Coat volunteer at YVR.

Business After Five at Suki’s Richmond

Richmond Chinese Community Society salutes its volunteers

The newly elected RCCS Youth cabinet: Sherlock Lau, Christy Liu, Stanley Li and Monica Ho.

Amanda Oye photos Linda Yee, Ginny Lawes, Glenda Beh, Nancy Lai and Maria Wong.

Norman Sung, RCCS president and Evelyn Lau, former RCCS president.

Around Town Amanda Oye Volunteers had their moment in the spotlight at the Richmond Chinese Community Society’s 2013 annual general meeting and Volunteers Appreciation Dinner and Dance at Continental Seafood Restaurant on Sunday.

The dinner was to “thank all of the volunteers for their work over the year,” said Henry Beh, the executive director of RCCS. Close to 100 volunteers were recognized at the event. Mayor Malcolm Brodie helped make the evening memorable by handing out certificates to each of them.

For entertainment during the course of the evening, RCCS students

and teachers put on performances for guests.

These included everything from tai chi to ballroom dancing.

Prior to the dinner, during the organization’s 24th annual general meeting, new board members for both RCCS and RCCS Youth were elected.

These board members will take over from the current ones in 2014. The overall goal of RCCS “is to encourage the Chinese community to volunteer and participate in our community activities,” Beh said.

The organization aims “to promote community tradition and harmony so that people understand each other,” he said.

They encourage support and harmony amongst all community groups.
