Minoru Park now eyed for ‘signature event’
Staff Reporter Shipping more containers to an inland port in B.C. could ease development pressure on Richmond farmland, city council heard Monday. Civic politicians invited representatives from Ashcroft Terminal to Richmond City Hall to pitch the merits of the inland port nearly 350 kilometres away. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said it’s in Richmond’s interest to encourage Ashcroft’s development to stem Port Metro Vancouver expansion. “We see what’s happening with the port as ultimately encroaching on agricultural land, their insatiable appetite for more industrial land,” said Brodie, adding a new $2-billion bridge is also planned in part to handle truck traffic growth. The privately-owned Ashcroft Terminal started operations in 2001 and boasts connections to major railways and highways. Every train originating from a Port Metro facility passes through Ashcroft, which will begin container handling operations in May. “We don’t see any shortage of demand. It’s about the infrastructure and the operations, all of it coming together,” said Kleo Landucci, See Page 3
Richmond World Block Party would provide a low-cost alternative to the PNE, says city by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Minoru Park is set to host the city’s newest “signature event” this summer, after city council gave its early endorsement of the Richmond World Block Party Monday. New details emerged at city hall Monday of a $245,000 multicultural festival that promises to “celebrate Richmond’s significant diversity through music, food and culture.” Staff have eliminated Lansdowne Centre mall’s parking lot as a location option, leaving the city’s central park as host. Plans call for the party to begin in the morning of Saturday, Sept. 5—during the Labour Day long weekend—and continue into the evening. “The date was chosen based on potential for good weather, as an end of summer celebration for students going back to school, and as a more accessible and low cost option to the (Pacific National Exhibition),” said Bryan Tasaka, manager of major events, in his report. With its multicultural focus, the event mirrors a community-organized one staged annually in the park up until a decade ago called
Kaleidoscope, City Centre Celebration. Planned are various entertainment acts, a few dozen food trucks representing cuisines of the world, a chef showcase and a sports zone with demonstrations of the world’s lesser-known sports including shinty (Scottish field hockey), sumo (Japanese wrestling) and kabaddi (Indian contact sport). Staff are pushing Minoru for a location because of its size, location and park setting. Admission would be free, and planners estimate the festival could draw over 40,000 people. “This festival would celebrate the city’s cultural diversity and showcase the area to thousands,” noted Tasaka. Two thirds of its $245,000 budget would come from city coffers. Sponsors are being targeted to ante in the remaining $75,000. Staff believe the festival has potential to expand in days if more funds can be secured through sponsorship and grants. Block party plans are part of $945,000 in upcoming city events, most of which are scheduled for this summer, including returning events Ships to Shore and Richmond Maritime Festival. Sponsors are also expected to offset those event costs, leaving city taxpayers on the hook for $660,000. The spending, which still requires council’s formal approval, also includes a $50,000 fund for city hall to plan for a tall ships event in 2017 to coincide with Canada’s 150th anniversary.

City to launch overseas bid for tall ships Coun. Bill McNulty to attend Nagasaki festival ahead of Richmond’s planned 2017 event by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
The Nippon Maru from Japan visited Richmond in 2002.
Ashcroft Terminal could remedy Port Metro Vancouver’s ‘insatiable appetite’ for more land From Page 1 Ashcroft Terminal’s vice-president of projects and development. Landucci said inland terminals like Ashcroft are successful across the globe. “This is not new. It’s new to B.C. It’s new to Western Canada.” Delta council has long backed the idea of inland terminals to reduce truck traffic and pressure to develop farmland near port property. In 2008 it formally endorsed a motion to support the continued development of Ashcroft Terminal, and last year commissioned a study that found “significant” traffic, economic, social and environmental benefits of an inland port for the Metro Vancouver region. In Richmond, elected officials fear Port Metro Vancouver will eventually expand its container operations on neighbouring farmland. Said Coun. Harold Steves: “We’re faced with the real problem of losing the ability to feed ourselves because the port wants to do everything here.” It’s not clear how Richmond council would support Ashcroft’s expansion
goals. Councillors referred the matter to staff for analysis. Port Metro Vancouver spokesperson John Parker-Jervis said an inland port has the potential to alleviate some pressure on local land, but “certainly wouldn’t diminish our concerns about industrial land in our region and the lack of availability as we look forward.” Parker-Jervis said about 70 per cent of containers arriving at Deltaport depart on rail and another five per cent are destined for the local market. The remaining 25 per cent are moved by truck for value-added activity—to a local warehouse to sort product destined by rail for a Saskatchewan retailer, for example—which presents an opportunity for Ashcroft. The challenge for Ashcroft is to win support from the supply chain and industry, he noted. “We’re seeing continual increases in container traffic through our gateway, and projections are showing that’s going to continue. If a project came online that could increase that capacity, we’d be quite happy to see that,” said Parker-Jervis.
Richmond council is spending $12,000 to send one of their own to Japan in a bid to lure classically-masted vessels to Steveston for another tall ships festival in 2017. Dipping into their council contingency account, civic politicians approved the multi-city tour with a goal of drawing some of the world’s greatest tall ships to Steveston. “One of the things that council and the public needs to realize is they just don’t show up,” said McNulty. “These are million dollar vessels, and you have to book them three and four and five years in advance. The only way you can book them is if you sit down with (officials) face to face.” Richmond City Hall is planning to stage a tall ships festival in Steveston in 2017, coinciding with Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations. Richmond has entertained various tall ships over the years, but hasn’t hosted a major tall ships event since 2002 when a five-day celebration drew a file photo fleet of tall ships from Europe, Asia and the Americas, along with an estimated
400,000 spectators. “This would be a signature event,” said McNulty, a key organizer of the 2002 festival, along with Coun. Harold Steves. “This would be a major (event) not only for the West Coast but also Canada.” Steves suggested a tall ship from Mexico and a junk from China would also be attractions. “We’re looking at a big event, we’re thinking big and we really need to recruit some of those ships.” Besides direct talks with Japanese officials, McNulty also plans on inviting captains of other Pacific Rim tall ships participating at an event in Nagasaki. According to McNulty, city staff are also expected on the trip, which also involves a visit to sister city Wakayama and sourcing a suikinkutsu, a Japanese garden ornament planned for the pocket park next to Steveston Museum. Mayor Malcolm Brodie said of the tall ships that have sailed into Steveston, Japanese crafts have been highlights. “We had thousands of people from Richmond come to see these vessels because they were really gems and added so much to our summer experience.” Coun. Chak Au, alone in voting against the trip, said he had no objections to its goals, but wanted more details and openness in selecting a city representative. For his part McNulty maintained he already has relationships that will aid the city’s cause.
Police investigate suspicious blaze
Martin van den Hemel photo A large two-storey house that was still under construction at 12411 Flury Drive, just east of No. 5 Road and south of Bridgeport, sustained extensive damage following an early Friday morning fire. A neighbour heard an explosion around 1 a.m. and ran outside to find flames shooting from the home across the street, which was about 75 per cent completed. A family was getting ready to move in to the new home in the coming weeks. Richmond Mounties were on the scene Friday, and were treating the blaze as suspicious. The home was unoccupied at the time and there were no injuries.

A
play set in 1955 rural Ontario makes its way to the open country of Gateway Theatre this week. Miss Caledonia, written and performed by Melody A. Johnson, runs March 5 to 14 in Studio B. It’s a heartwarming story about the big dreams of Peggy Ann Douglas, who joins the pageant circuit in a bid to land a spot on a Hollywood movie set. Her idea of becoming a movie star is a way to escape the chicory-pulling, stallcleaning, hay-bailing drudgery of smalltown life. As she attempts to sing, twirl and pivot her way into the judges’ hearts, a “puritanical work ethic� could to sabotage her plans. Johnson plays nearly a dozen different characters in the show, which is produced by Lunkamud in association with Tarragon Theatre. She’s accompanied by Alison Porter, who plays original fiddle compositions for the 90-minute play. “I think if people enjoyed our production of harvest last season they’re really going to like Miss Caledonia. It has that same warm, rural charm,� said Jovanni Sy, Gateway’s artistic director, in a video promoting the show. “What excites me

the strategy would dramatically improve the immunization rate of children entering school—currently 69 per cent of two-yearolds in Fraser Health have all recommended shots. “I don’t think there’s a magic bullet,� Kendall told Black Press.

home if there’s an outbreak. Alberta keeps vaccinations optional but its schools reserve the right to exclude unvaccinated children during outbreaks. Kendall said it would be relatively easy for B.C. to add a requirement to report vaccination status at time of enrollment—that alone can nudge fencesitting parents to get their kids vaccinated or remind others who haven’t kept up with the schedule of shots. A tougher Ontario-style law applied in B.C. might boost coverage by a couple percentage points, he suggested. But Kendall said it’s debatable whether that would translate into any fewer infections from vaccine-preventable diseases. “Last year we had over 400 cases of measles but they were in a community that refuses to be vaccinated,� Kendall said, referring to the 2014 Fraser Health outbreak centred on Chilliwack. “That community would have been unvaccinated even if we had a law in place because of [exemptions for] religious grounds.� This year, he noted, Ontario is battling an imported measles outbreak despite its law, while B.C. is unscathed. Kendall instead prefers better education and persuasion. And he would target parents who are “soft� opponents whose concerns can be addressed one-on-one by medical professionals rather than entrenched anti-vaxers. “The more pointed the message, the more some of these people seem to just dig into their belief systems,� he said. A mandatory policy that bars unvaccinated students from school enrollment could actually backfire, Kendall warned, because it might result in those kids clustering together instead of mixing with and getting protection from vaccinated students. “You might have certain private schools where no kids are vaccinated and then you lose any benefit from herd immunity.� Kendall believes many parents whose kids aren’t up to date on vaccinations are busy or have lost track, and aren’t necessarily taking a strong anti-vaccine stance. Smartphone reminder apps now offer help to keep parents on schedule, and Kendall is hopeful an automated phone reminder system programmed from doctors’ offices will soon launch as well.

Study claims savings will offset cost of transit tax ‘Flimsy’ report from mayors forecasts household benefits by Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver mayors say their plan for transit upgrades would save residents much more money over the long run than they’d pay in extra sales tax if this spring’s referendum on the proposal passes. A report commissioned by the mayors estimates the savings for a typical family at $360 per year by 2030 in combined fuel, vehicle and other costs, including the value of time savings. It estimates that advantage would climb to $1,100 per year by 2045 versus a base case scenario without the proposed upgrades and worsening congestion as Metro’s population grows. Those are net savings minus the $125 per year an average household would pay as a result of the extra 0.5 per cent sales tax to be levied in Metro Vancouver. Two thirds of the estimated savings are attributed to reduced travel time, while one third is the result of direct reductions in outof-pocket transporta-
tion costs. The mayors’ council released only a four-page summary of HDR Consulting’s findings without providing details on methodology. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore predicted some households will save even more—an estimated $10,000 a year over and above HDR’s estimates—if they are able to give up a vehicle as improved transit service arrives. “More people will have the option to use the bus, which is a less expensive way of getting around than driving,” Moore said. He said even drivers will spend less time on the road and money on gas and maintenance because of congestion relief. Transit improvements —including a 25 per cent increase in bus service, new B-Line express bus routes and new rapid transit lines in Vancouver and Surrey – are expected to greatly increase the number of households in the region that live close enough to frequent transit service to rely heavily on it.

Jordan Bateman called the report “flimsy.” He said it doesn’t take into account the opportunity cost of how families might benefit if they weren’t subjected to the extra tax and could instead spend that money on different priorities or invest it. “The mayors refuse to acknowledge this is a regressive tax that hurts poorer families more than richer families,” Bateman said.
He said poor families can’t think decades down the road because “they’re trying to put groceries on the table this week” and added it may be risky for planners to use such a long horizon as well. “No one knows what the world is going to look like in 30 years,” Bateman said, suggesting self-driving cars may end up carrying many people some day instead of public transit.

EDITORIAL: Just where is this ‘low-hanging fruit?’
S
chool trustees across B.C., including those in School District 38, must be scratching their heads at their premier’s apparent lack of awareness about what’s going on in their schools and administration offices.
Last week, Christy Clark suggested school boards grab a step-ladder and start picking some “low-hanging fruit” to the tune of nearly $54 million over the next two years from district administrative costs. Later, Education Minister Peter Fassbender clarified that school districts must find efficiencies to get administrative costs down to 6%, where they were 10 years ago, which requires 0.5% savings this year and 1% the year after. While there is a concern that trimming administrative costs will eat up valuable dollars that must go to the classroom, the province should lead the way by showing where this cost-cutting should be made. BC School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff has been quoted as saying that Clark’s comments ignore the fact that
Evan Seal photo Premier Christy Clark has suggested school boards grab a step-ladder and start picking some “low-hanging fruit” to the tune of nearly $54 million over the next two years from district administrative costs.
school districts are already working together to save money and have been doing so for years. Bulk buying, sharing services — many of these measures have
been tried with more or less success, depending on the district and the circumstances. Everyone hates waste, but instead of making off-the-cuff
comments, would the premier please show school boards exactly where the hidden cache of cash is located? —Tri-City News
Pay down that student loan or else
B.C. Views Tom Fletcher
I
n a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit. If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.” Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy. The B.C. government is using
one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals. There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it. Student debt collection is a long-standing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort. Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected.
How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week. In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans. With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C. “To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short
courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid. “Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.” Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls. This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided
university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar. Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs. We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this. There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

Where is TransLink’s accountability? Editor: The Feb. 25 edition of The Richmond Review included an insert from the Richmond Chamber of Commerce supporting the “Yes” side of the TransLink question. The first paragraph refers to a referendum and the green highlighted box (second page) identifies the process to be a binding plebiscite. The terms referendum/plebiscite and now binding plebiscite have been referenced in the media by various officials supporting the “Yes” campaign. What is it in reality and is the decision binding? Quite frankly, if the “Yes” side doesn’t know what it is or who is in control of TransLink (consider Premier Clark claims the mayors have control and the mayors claim the B.C. government controls it), who does? Consider the financial disclosure or lack of to taxpayers when considering Vancouver’s Olympic Village cost results. Consider the financial (transparency) reporting of the Richmond Olympic Oval
Richmond isn’t so quaint anymore Editor: We had a good laugh at the booklet enclosed with last week’s Richmond Review. Anyone from out of town would be very impressed at the small and quaint fishing village portrayed in the booklet. Could anything be further from the truth? No mention of the horrendous traffic, the vacant mega-houses with concrete driveways, the towering half empty high-rises and more half-built towers. What a disappointment when they arrive. Yes, there are tiny pockets of historical remains in old Steveston, but even they are being dwarfed by new construction. Apartments in Steveston which were advertised as having waterfront views some years ago are now being overlooked by more “waterfront view apartments” which will completely block the views of the original building. Can’t the council say “no” to the developers who apply for rezoning for such ventures. Obviously not. Twenty-seven years ago when we came to live in Richmond it was exactly as the pamphlet describes but the new Richmond is a huge disappointment to a large number of residents who feel we are being driven out. We urge you to look at the booklet with an open mind and see if it describes the Richmond you know. Patricia Gannon Richmond
when the oval is exempt of property tax and lease or mortgage payments. Consider the growing policing costs of TransLink because it is a separate agency from other local policing organizations (unnecessary duplication). Consider the Compass card fiasco. Consider the bridge toll revenue losses. Consider the issue of compounding fare evasion losses. Consider the referendum/plebiscite costs (more than $4 million—borrowed money of course) and for what? Can drunken sailors do worse? Some will remember the doom and gloom for Canada if the Meech Lake and later Charlottetown proposals failed. Thankfully the proposals failed. Voters have an obligation to ensure the TransLink proposal fails until their management accountability is discovered. We do not need to be like Greece. We can hope. Ken McLennan Richmond
Support from the sports community Editor: There are a lot of things wrong in youth sports, but there are a lot of things right. Right now we are losing too many good coaches, referees, volunteers and kids in all youth sports because far too often the environment is toxic. Richmond is very fortunate to have individuals like Nigel Shackles, Cody Kush, Kathleen Wong, Terry Kehoe, Steve Smith, Carolyn Hart, David Weber and many more who work together heading up associations and clubs taking on legitimate challenges in youth sports, while ensuring that we all remain focused on developing people, and not just athletes. These often forgotten individuals have put “play” back in our sports. I can think of no greater recent example then to thank our local football club, Richmond FC. Richmond boys soccer is run by some of the finest people I know and have ever encountered. I have walked the sidelines and dugouts of the Lower Mainland as both a professional and a volunteer coach for 27 years. But, on March 23, 2014, all my coaching came to an abrupt stop due to a diagnosis of cancer. This is when I learned what being a part of a club is
City of Richmond
truly about. Without ever asking, Individuals like Tania Webster, Mike Laing, Linda Calvert, Sean Grant and all the coaches of the U-11 Division, even coaches outside the division were there for me, my players and my family. These individuals ensured that not only did our players have a great season, but they supported each other and they supported our family. I was proud this past January to walk out on the pitch with the sun shining down to be greeted by so many supportive individuals that I am blessed to call my friends and my family. I cannot thank these individuals enough or the leaders of so many other associations, for their outpouring of support, assistance and love during a difficult time and I want to remind all parents out there that your kid is all you’ve got—you can’t trade them in for a more talented athlete and they can’t exchange you for a different or more supportive parent. We both only get one shot at this, make sure to provide your children and your whole family with a healthier, more positive and rewarding experience on and off the field. Dave Gillis Richmond

Let’s work together to address land-use challenges in the region Editor: A recent article speculates on Port Metro Vancouver’s long-term land use planning intentions, without providing evidence the port authority is doing anything other than what it is mandated to do and has publicly stated. Port Metro Vancouver is Canada’s largest port, handling 20 per cent of all goods traded by value. As a port authority, we must balance national economic interests with those of the 16 Lower Mainland municipalities and one treaty First Nation we border. It’s a balance that is never easy, especially given the increasing pressure on the region’s available land from the one million people expected to move here in the next 25 years. Municipalities like Richmond are facing this same pressure of accommodating growth and ensuring land is available for housing, jobs and improved infrastructure. Port Metro Vancouver is responding by collaborating with local communities and thoughtfully planning for the long-term sustainability of port lands core to the fabric of this region and Canada. In Richmond
alone, port business provides 5,200 jobs and $3.1 million in municipal taxes. Much has been said about Port Metro Vancouver purchasing Agricultural Land Reserve land. Less has been said about industrial land being converted for other use by municipalities. Within our land use plan, the small amounts of farmland we do own are designated as special study areas, which means we will engage in additional consultation and planning to determine their future use. Until this is completed, their current use remains unchanged. We are vocal in our call for an industrial land reserve to protect what remains, just as the ALR aims to do, so land is available not only for port use, but for other industrial uses as well. Such a reserve would also relieve pressure on agricultural land. Given the demand for all available land in this region, it is imperative we work together to ensure we meet our agricultural, industrial and residential needs as best as possible. Peter Xotta Vice President, Planning and Operations Port Metro Vancouver
There are many good reasons to support funding transportation improvements Editor: After much thought I am voting Yes on the upcoming transportation plebiscite, and the reasons why are quite straightforward: •Transportation infrastructure is vitally important to our economy, our environment and our way of life. Less congestion means we all spend less time polluting the air and more time doing what we want to do, it means trucks spend less time idling and reduces the cost of transporting our food, our goods and services. •Our region has been searching for well over a decade for the right funding formula, and never has there been such across the board support for a funding source, as there is right now. •We also have a strong plan in place. The elected mayors from our region have provided us with a well thought out plan for transportation improvements. •When we compare investment in transportation to investments in health, educa-
tion and public safety, which one can argue are more vital, we must remember transportation improvements are a key enabler to our economy. They “prime the pump” and enable us to afford the investments in these other areas. History has shown us that there is no perfect funding formula. There have been many attempts to gain broad support and never have we come this far, this close, to being in a position to move forward with a strong plan. Bashing TransLink may be fashionable today but they do run a transportation system that is viewed by many experts around the world, to be world class. Please don’t be distracted by the “noise,” this is far too important for us all. There are very strong reasons to support the upcoming plebiscite. Please vote Yes for our future. Rob Howard Former Richmond Centre MLA and Richmond City Councillor

But for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia—and their loves ones and caregivers—the impact of a 60-minute change can be seen twice per year, every time the clock falls back or springs forward. At precisely 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, clocks will be adjusted
forward by an hour, meaning the sun will rise an hour later, and set an hour later. The change in time can have more than just an unsettling effect on the elderly, whose brains are losing some of its function. Coreena Robertson, the recreation wellness director at Fraserview Care Lodge on Williams Road, said the time change can result in agitation, confusion, depression, anxiety and sometimes even physical aggression. For those living in care homes, staying on schedule is a daily routine, she said. Being forced to wake up an hour earlier disrupts that routine and adds just another layer into the challenging day-to-day experiences of people in cognitive decline, she said. Even healthy adults can get grouchy if they don’t eat on time, so imagine a senior who is no longer able to articulate their needs or can no longer decipher why they are feeling the way they do, Robertson said. What’s the solution?
“We know what we’re like when we don’t get a good night’s sleep. Imagine them.� — Coreena Robertson Robertson suggests easing a person into the time change. If their routine is to wake up at 7 a.m., allow them to wake up at 7:45 a.m. after the clock’s been adjusted forward by an hour, which would reduce the impact of the time change by 15 minutes. Making a further 15 minute adjustment each day helps to ease the change and spread its impact over several days. “We know what we’re like when we don’t get a good night’s sleep. Imagine them,� she said. In the days following a time change, a spouse or caregiver is advised to engage with their love ones, which is especially important around meal times, when their body may no longer be in sync with their schedule.

The change in time can effect the elderly.
To help focus their attention, turn on their favourite TV show or play a game with them. At night time, since they’ll be going to be an hour earlier, select a calming activity, listen to soft music, or even sip a warm beverage. Caregivers are also encouraged to meet their loved
ones in the “moment they are experiencing,” Robertson said, which means resisting the temptation to correct their stories, not sounding condescending or disrespectful, and simply validating what they are saying. Nearly 750,000 Canadians live with dementia, including
nearly 15 per cent of Canadians who are 65 or older. By 2031, 1.4 million Canadians are expected to live with the disease. Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common form of dementia, affects five per cent of Canadians 65 and older, and 25 per cent of those 85 and over.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Need Your Help…
active seniors
Couples aged 60+ are invited to participate in a study on how couples can help each other complete simple computer based tasks. Our goal is to understand how partners can influence each other’s overall performance. No previous computer or technology experience is required. This study involves a 2 hour in-person appointment. All appointments take place on the UBC Point Grey Campus. Each couple will receive $40, with each member receiving $20. Couples will also be reimbursed bus fare or parking. For more information about the study, please contact the Health and Adult Development Lab at 604-822-3549 or email at linkedlives@psych.ubc.ca “Your experience matters…Tell us about it”
Will of ALS patient challenged by spouse Not every province in Canada has legislated an ability to vary a Will. In B.C. we do have such legislation. Formerly the Wills Variation Act, the terms of that Act are now part of the new Wills Estates and Succession Act (WESA) which was proclaimed a year ago. More and more persons are coming to know the legislation and, depending on their circumstances, may in future consider such a step. The legislation allows a spouse (married or “common law”) and a child (natural or adopted) of a deceased person to seek variation if they feel that they were not left a “adequate, just and equitable” portion of the Estate. While there may be a temptation to think that such cases are really all about money, and that a person’s wishes, expressed in a Will, should be allowed to stand, as I see it, it’s seldom that straightforward. Last week, reasons for judgment were released in a case called Tippett v. Tippett Estate. In this case, the deceased died in 2011. The most recent Will was made about 2 months before death. The surviving spouse lived with the deceased in a common law relationship from 1984 through 1989, when they married. They enjoyed an active lifestyle and a good relationship until 2000, when the deceased was diagnosed with ALS. Though they travelled, continued in their work and generally did as much as they could, the inexorable deterioration in health came. In 2009 the deceased had to stop work and soon received disability payments. The relationship suffered and later in 2009 the couple separated. Despite that, the spouse and other friends continued to help the deceased with support, cleaning and related services in order to allow the deceased to continue living at home. The spouse also paid for some services and medications. They never divorced and they never had children. Planning Title to the couple’s home was held in joint tenancy. In June, 2011 the deceased arranged a severing of that joint tenancy and the interest then became a Tenancy in Common. The deceased’s half was bequeathed in his Will to various persons. The Will was made at the same time as the severance of the joint tenancy. The deceased’s half interest in his home was left to his sisters and charities. The investment account was divided among ten friends. What the spouse was given was a relatively minor portion of the Estate, though the spouse did receive proceeds of a life insurance policy as well as CPP survivor benefits and the employment pension. There is some evidence in the reasons that the deceased had a change of heart shortly before dieing, in favour of the surviving spouse. It was however not formally acted on. Decision The value of the Estate was just under $500,000. In Wills Variation cases, generally the Court first considers what legal duties the deceased has to the spouse. The Court held that in the circumstances of this Estate, legal obligations were fulfilled. The Court then turned to the second consideration, being what moral duties are owed to the spouse by the deceased. The Court seemed to focus on the view that the couple seemed to plan for the surviving spouse receiving the home through the (now severed) joint tenancy, despite the deceased changing the title not long before the death. The Court held that this was a failure of moral duty. The Court awarded the spouse half of the Estate, which comes close to giving the spouse the value of the home. Summary The judgment, in my opinion, makes sense. The Court sought to honour what appeared to be the couple’s agreement to give the spouse the home, while also leaving enough in the Estate to honour the deceased’s wishes that friends who helped the deceased receive gifts as well. But also, this case seems to be an example of “not being about the money” only. Difficult as the circumstances were, the case is also about an element of correcting mistakes and fairness. In that sense, my opinion is that the Wills Variation legislation is important legislation, for many British Columbians now and yet to come.

ity Centre. Construction began late last year on the new $79.6 million combined aquatics and seniors facility located in Minoru Park. Eva Busich-Veloso, co-ordinator of seniors services for the City of Richmond, said there will be twice as much space in the new facility, which will create new programming opportunities and the ability to serve more people. “My team and I as well as seniors are tremendously excited because we are going to have double the space and that brings the opportunities to have better facilities and more flexibility. We are going to be with the aquatics centre, and I think with longer hours of operation this will allow the people
who are still at work to come and not only have the swim under the same roof, but also do other programs here at the facility. It’s quite exciting, being adjacent to the park and to the sports... there’s going to be much more synergy to be able to have the inside and out, opportunities. Seniors are really looking forward to that.” The new facility is scheduled open in 2017. “I see in 10 years a happening place where seniors can really age in place. We have done a lot of things to accommodate seniors in their own neighbourhood.” The Minoru Civic Precinct projects also includes a new City Centre Community Centre, which is cur-
rently under construction at Minoru Boulevard and Firbridge Way and is slated to open in 2015. As well, the new No. 1 Fire Hall, which will be built immediately west of the new Minoru Park multi-purpose complex. “Construction of a new aquatic and older adults centre are top priorities for our council,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said. “We need these new facilities to meet the existing and future needs of our growing and evolving community. “This new multipurpose complex will become a focal point for our community as it delivers a mix of outstanding services for a diverse group of users.” —Martin van den Hemel

Goal nets Ravens playoff banner Provincial championships next challenge for Richmond Bantam girls’ hockey team by Don Fennell Sports Editor It was five years earlier— to the day—that Sidney Crosby’s golden goal lifted Canada to the men’s hockey championship and a nation into euphoria. While that wasn’t on the minds of most of the participants in last Sunday’s Pacific Coast Bantam Division girls’ hockey playoff final, it ironically would be another goal—the only one of the game—that produced a similar state of joy for the Richmond Ravens in their 1-0 victory over arch-rival Surrey Falcons at Minoru Arenas. A well-played, intense game between two equally talented teams that know each other well was decided—appropriately enough by Richmond captain Kirsten Abo’s goal following a mad scramble at 7:21 of the second period. In what was a true team effort, and a show of relentless determination, defenceman Erika Palmieri kept the puck in at the blueline and delivered a hard shot on net. Jenna Velji recovered the rebound for a shot shot that was stopped, but Hannah Shihundu then dove in mid-air to push the loose puck over to Abo who finished the play. “Surrey is a great team, very well coached, and we knew we would have to play our best game to have a chance to beat them,� said Richmond coach Tony Lindsay. “I was very proud of how hard our girls worked. Everyone contributed and that is what we need to have any chance for success against a team as strong as Surrey.� The win capped an undefeated playoff campaign
for the Ravens, who went nine wins against zero losses during playoffs, scoring 42 goals and giving up only four. Though they were unable to add to their lead, the Ravens continued to press for an insurance marker and the line of Maddie Warren, Naomi Choong and Macy Young created many scoring chances. The backcheck was exceptional all game, said Lindsay, who also singled out Raman Rai, Myah Bowal, Karina Lannard, and Darci Johal for theier consistent energy and determination. The defence group of Palmieri, Kate Reilly, Aish Sander, Hannah Green, Kiki Linders and Stephanie Moy took away time and space throughout the game and goalie Jenna Ehling was there to take care of any shots that got through. Ehling has now registered six shutouts in her last seven games. Brynn Waisman was on the bench and ready to step in for Ehling if needed. Appropriately, both the Falcons and the Ravens have qualified for the Bantam A provincial championship March 15 to 18 in Castlegar. “We have some more work to do,� said Lindsay. “Coach Don Murray and his Falcons’ staff are excellent coaches and they will have their team ready for provincials. They are the league champions and also the defending Bantam A provincial champions. The Falcons will be a huge challenge for all the other teams in Castlegar. Over the next two weeks, we will be working on conditioning and focusing on offensive zone play, defensive zone play and specialty teams. Our team is very excited
about the opportunity and knows that we will have to continue to raise our level of play to have a chance at being successful.� Most of the Ravens players have played in a provincial championship game in the past two years, including seven players who were on Lindsay’s Peewee A provincial championship team from last season. They all understand how tough the Provincials are and they are looking forward to the challenge. “At the end of the day, we have two goals.—to have an exceptional experience and to play our best hockey of the season,� said Lindsay.

’Cats title quest begins today by Don Fennell Sports Editor The preparation now complete, or as much as it can be, Richmond’s Robert A. McMath Wildcats begin their quest for the provincial high school AAA senior girls’basketball championship today (Wednesday) at the Langley Events Centre.

The provincial final is slated for 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Next week the boys take to the stage at the Langley Events Centre. Richmond Christian Eagles will challenge for supremacy at the single-A level, while Matthew McNair Marlins and Robert A. McMath Wildcats will challenge for top honours at the tripleA level.

The beginning of March also marks the beginning of National Engineering and Geoscience Month, and the APEGBC aims to promote their fields with this event each year. “We want [students] to get themselves familiar with the different types of engineering and geoscience,” said APEGBC vice chair Fardin Barekat. “As it stands now, we have a lack
of engineers in Canada, so we’re trying to get that going, get some more engineers.” The fair included booths from UBC’s seismic design and steel bridge teams, the City of Richmond, Science World, BCIT, and the famous soccer playing robots, the Thunderbots. The big ticket event at the fair is the popsicle stick bridge building competition,
where the goal is the build a structure that will support the most weight. There are three categories: grade 10 and under, grades 11 and 12, and post-secondary, and participants are allotted just 75 popsicle sticks and white school glue to build their bridges. There are cash prizes for first, second, and third at each level, “and they all get
certificates. Framed certificates,” said Barekat. “We hope teachers in high schools and elementary schools become more supportive of this event, and encourage their students to come to this event more often.” Katie Lawrence covers the social scene. She may be reached at kt.lawrence10@gmail.com.
