Salmon return is so low, anglers are now being targeted GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

S

ockeye salmon runs are so bad on the Fraser River that fisheries officers have ramped up enforcement against recreational anglers off the shores of Steveston.

Amidst a full commercial sockeye fishery closure, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) on Friday docked the 44-metre Martin Charles vessel in Steveston as a public display of force.

“We’re facing an extraordinary situation on the Fraser River this year,” said the DFO’s Lower Fraser Area Chief Officer Herb Redekopp.

“The level of salmon that are returning to the Fraser River this year is probably at the lowest level we’ve seen historically. We’re especially concerned about the sockeye salmon.”

The Fraser River Panel — an inter-government body — estimates there will be only 1.4 million sockeye this year, down from the 4.4 million pre-season, median estimate.

“It’s a significant situation,” said Re-

dekopp, noting there was only a 10 per cent chance of seeing such a poor run for this four-year cycle.

Officers have caught a number of First Nations fishers in the Fraser Canyon using illegal gillnets, as well as recreational anglers in the river’s mouth using illegal barbed hooks and not marking catches on their licence.

“There’s a high rate of non-compliance,” said Redekopp.

In tidal waters, DFO has set up increased aerial surveillance and more zodiac

“All I could think was that I almost got killed. I was still shaking,” she recalled.

“I met my husband in the parking lot and, as I was telling him what happened, I broke down in tears. It took to the next day to get over it; it was so close.”

Indeed, in the two minutes it took the News to line up Pong for the photo you see on this page, at least eight cars failed to stop for pedestrians at the crossing. That’s one every 15 seconds.

And most members of the News’ staff have either experienced something similar to Pong or witnessed it from the office’s second floor balcony, which overlooks the crossing.

“Someone is going to get seriously in-

jured or killed,” said Pong.

“They need to put pedestrian-controlled lights there or something, because the drivers clearly can’t see, or don’t want to see, that crossing.

“There are just too many things going on in that area; there are too many distractions.”

City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend told the News, via email, that the city has received at least one complaint about the intersection.

However, the issue, said Townsend is “driver behaviour not intersection design,” adding that the design is standard for the type of intersection.

He did say that the city will be discussing the area with the RCMP to see if steppedup enforcement is appropriate.

Richmond RCMP officers arrested two women, ages 53 and 55 respectively. One of the suspects is a Richmond resident while the other is from Vancouver. The suspects are not known to police.

Approximately 1,500 cartons, or the equivalent of 300,000 individual cigarettes, were seized.

Police are continuing their investigation.

n Peschisolido defends fish farms

speedboat patrols are being launched.

Night patrols up river are also catching poachers, said Redekopp.

Officers only deal with non-compliance issues, such as illegal fishing, ensuring quotas are met and compliance measures for B.C. fish farms.

Officers such as Redekopp don’t deal with greater existential threats to wild salmon, such as climate change.

Redekopp said DFO is unaware of any of the reported 160,000 farmed Atlantic salmon from Washington State — that escaped last month — being found in the Fraser, to date.

The DFO does have an Atlantic Salmon Watch reporting program for recreational anglers.

“We’ve heard of the event and looking for that,” said Redekopp.

Meanwhile, Steveston-Richmond East Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido told the Richmond News his government is acting on protecting wild salmon stocks with its Ocean Protections Plan.

But Peschisolido said the billion dollar fish farming industry should be protected, which is partly why he voted against a proposed bill by NDP MP Fin Donnelly last December to move farms into closed or land-based pens (a bill supported by many Conservative, Liberal and NDP MPs in B.C.).

Peschisolido said the technology doesn’t presently exist to move the likes of Atlantic salmon to land, however the government is spending money to research this. He also said the science behind the harm caused by fish farming isn’t certain.

Steveston fishers claim farms are consuming wild salmon food and spreading disease.

“The number one change from the last business is that this is very much hands-on ownership and there is certainly no laziness in here.

“It’s a completely different atmosphere and the dogs are outside playing all day. There are pools and shade everywhere. It’s a totally new operation.

“Old customers are starting to filter back, word is slowly getting around. The old business is dead and buried. It’s gone.”

ylvia Goldmanis is eating and, quite literally, sleeping the business right now.

Suffice to say, Goldmanis’ every waking hour is revolving around the kennel she took over at the foot of No. 3 Road earlier this year.

And she had her work cut out for her as well, wiping away the cloud that hung over the former BC Canine name to replace it with her own Richmond Dog Boarding and Play.

BC Canine and its former ownership was the focus of a BC SPCA investigation in the spring, with potential charges of animal cruelty being assessed by Crown Counsel.

However, it all pre-dates Goldmanis and she is battling hard to win back old customers and, with a bit of luck, find a regular bed to sleep in.

“I’m sleeping on the floor in the building until I can arrange more permanent accommodation out the back,” said Goldmanis, who only worked for the previous regime for two weeks and spent the previous 10 years as a nurse.

“I’ve not had one day off since I took over and I love it.

“I grew up on acreage, surrounded by dogs and other animals, so you could say I’m very much an animal-lover.”

Goldmanis signed a long-term lease on the property — close to Dyke Road — after buying the business from the previous owner.

“None of the previous staff are here now; it’s just myself, my daughter and another kennel hand,” she added.

Larsen leaves community 'hole' Activist fondly remembered at memorial GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

O

ne of the greatest volunteers in Richmond’s history was remembered by members of the community Thursday afternoon at the Minoru Seniors Centre.

It was clear — from the line-up of community social workers who spoke to her tenacious attitude and kind soul — that Jennifer Larsen, a former journalist and community activist, has left behind a legacy that will live on beyond her 85 years.

Larsen, who was a member of several past and present community advisory boards, died peacefully July 22.

“She leaves behind a legacy of being a presence at the table for people who don’t have a presence at the table; for being a voice for people who don’t have a voice,” said Alex Nixon, Richmond Food Bank outreach worker, at the celebration of life memorial.

“She asked relentless questions in her quest to learn how we can make our community a better place.

“And if you didn’t have the answers you better get the answers and they better be good answers.

“She leaves behind a challenge. In an age when, quite frankly, I plan on being on a beach somewhere, she kept at it.

“She kept trying to make her community a better place. She kept fighting for people who

needed a fighter. She kept the siege.

“And her passing has left a hole in the community. It’s a hole we’ll need to fill with energy, passion, care and love and questions; always questions.”

The impact Larsen had on community groups and organizations was clear, particularly the ones that helped people with mental health issues.

“When you worked with Jennifer so closely, as many of us had done, you know when she’s not there because you hear what has to be said,” said Rick Dubois, executive director of Richmond Addiction Services.

“We would have strategic planning around what questions Jennifer was going to ask.

So we had a strategy for Jennifer, and that took up most of the meeting,” he quipped, to laughter from the audience.

Janice Barr, executive director of Richmond Society for Community Living, noted Larsen “didn’t work for an organization; she worked for the community” and was able to “step outside herself” and embrace causes “bigger than herself.”

Ella Huang, Richmond Centre for Disability’s executive director, said Larsen “exuded friendliness” and “tenacity in unveiling the truth.”

At the memorial, Larsen’s son Tim read a memo from long-time friend Olive Bassett, who was honoured with Larsen in 2012 with the Pioneer Award at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards.

Meanwhile, The Sisters choral group of Barb Coward, De Whalen and Janet Hall devoted a song to Larsen.

Larsen was a mainstay at city council meetings when she perceived social injustice occurring, noted Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

“As a result of that advocacy, (my) appreciation of her point of view became more focused,” said Brodie.

“And I don’t think I need to say that if it didn’t become more focused, well, then it was time to make that point again.

“Jennifer was a pioneer and, for decades, she worked tirelessly on issues such as home-

lessness, mental health...seniors and more.”

Larsen, of course, never saw eye to eye with politicians all the time.

Former BC Liberal MLA Doug Symons (1991-2001) recalled, with humour, that Larsen was one of the first to walk into his office and she “scared me.”

Larsen was in frequent communication with local newspapers as well. Her last emails to the Richmond News expressed concerns about mega mansions on farmland.

“I’ll now commit to finding out more about the hedge-hider place from front counter friends at City Hall,” wrote Larsen.

Hydro counts cost of bridge

B

.C. Hydro has quietly begun the process of calculating what it would cost to cancel its part in the multi-billion-dollar George Massey Tunnel replacement project.

The Crown agency has asked contractors to figure out how much they would charge to abruptly stop work on moving two transmission lines from inside the Massey tunnel to an overhead line near the proposed new 10-lane bridge, which was announced five years ago when the Liberals were in power in Victoria.

Two contractors are doing ground improvement and deep foundation work for the new transmission line.

Hydro said it’s just being prepared in case the government decides to scrap plans to build the $3.5-billion bridge.

However, it raises questions about whether Hydro, which recently had its board and management shuffled by the NDP, has any inside knowledge of the govern-

ment’s intentions.

“We’ve informed our contractors that, as a precaution, we’re preparing for the possibility of having to suspend the currently scheduled construction work and have asked for them to identify costs related to suspending their work,” said Hydro spokesperson Mora Scott.

The NDP government has said it would review the future of the megaproject and the party was a sharp critic of the proposal while in opposition.

Premier John Horgan has said the bridge is not supported by Metro mayors, who have other transit projects they want his government to fund first.

Transportation Minister Claire Trevena said last week that she had met the mayors of Delta and Richmond, and the head of the Metro Vancouver board to talk about what the government should do.

We are all immigrants of sorts Dear Editor, Re: “New book could help Chinese-Canadian issues in Richmond: Author,” News, Aug. 23 I read with interest the article on author Guo Ding’s book “Canada’s Chinese Gene,” recognizing that it is merely a synopsis of the book.

The Chinese involvement and contribution in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway is a well publicized and appreciated historical fact.

The suggestion that Chinese-Canadians, because of this historical contribution, “will have a deeper connection to Canada and better realize the responsibilities they have to it” is a challenging premise.

Our leaders are silent

To further suggest that all Chinese-Canadians “should be recognized as nation builders, instead of immigrants” may raise some disgruntled voices.

Throughout Canada’s history, from the founding fathers of Confederation to the present day, our combined ancestral genes, including those of the Chinese, have contributed to nation-building in a myriad of different ways and created the Canada of today.

And yet we are, and were, all immigrants, happy to be just that. The exception is our indigenous peoples whose role and status must be acknowledged.

Today, there are many opportunities for entry as citizens or “guests” — immigrant, permanent resident, visitor visa, super visa,

Dear Editor, I appreciate the advocacy of Michael Wolfe (Letters Sept. 1), Michelle Li (Letters Aug. 30) and the many others working hard to save Richmond’s farmland.

But as Wolfe points out, where are our politicians?

Protecting our farmland from unrelenting speculation, house overmassing and industrialization seems like a no-brainer.

Our elected officials need to be held responsible for their actions regarding this important resource.

I therefore urge our elected federal and provincial representatives to use this forum to inform their constituents of their thoughts and intentions regarding Richmond farmland.

For our municipal politicians (other than Councillors Steves and Day), I would ask them to publicly explain why they rejected staff recommendations to limit house size on farmland to 5,382 square feet, consistent with ALC guidelines.

The silence is deafening.

Kris von Schalburg Richmond

immigrant investor (via Quebec), technoimmigrant, international student, temporary foreign worker and birth tourist.

This, combined with the general human imperfections of greed, opportunism, selfinterest and corruption have presented some challenging times.

One can hope that the gene story and knowledge of history achieve the “mutual understanding and consideration” that Mr. Guo Ding is hoping for.

In the meantime, in this broken and imperfect world, “love your neighbour as yourself” is a good start.

Wipe out racism Dear Editor, Over a month ago, on July 30, my wife sent me a picture she had taken of a bus shelter at the intersection of Granville Avenue and Minoru Boulevard.

The advertisement for Nu Stream Realty Inc. shows three realtors who are identifiably Asian (likely they are ethnically Chinese, based on their surnames.)

Someone had used marker to alter their eyes and teeth to make the faces look more stereotypically Asian.

The following day, I phoned the Richmond RCMP, who reassured me that they would contact the sign company to notify them of the problem. Although a month has passed, the marker remains on the sign.

The RCMP and the bus signage company are not at fault here — at least they deserve the benefit of the doubt as it sometimes takes a while for these sorts of complaints to work their way through state and company bureaucracy.

Instead, I’d like to point the finger squarely at the hundreds of people who

have used that bus stop over the past several weeks and done nothing about it. No one thought to use some rubbing alcohol or makeup remover? Where was the letter writing campaign to the local papers? Does the sign need to read “The Chinese Are Taking Over!” before someone does something about it?

The irony of this small, overlooked act of racism was brought home to me this past weekend, when my wife and I attended the Richmond World Festival at Minoru Park.

Billed as an event that “celebrates Richmond’s significant cultural diversity,” the festival featured a range of food trucks, music, performances, and booths from all sorts of community groups. It was a lovely way to cap off the summer. That bus stop was literally a stone’s throw from the festival.

I believe that “song and dance” multiculturalism — as fun, inclusive, and vital as it is — must go hand-in-hand with both tackling acts of everyday racism.

Home in Sweden tells tunnel secrets Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

W

ho would have thought original schematic diagrams, photos and brochures of the George Massey Tunnel would be stowed away in the shed of a house in a small town in Sweden. Lifelong Richmond resident Wayne Phillips did.

He recalled his childhood friend Ingvar Mellquist, whose father Curt worked as an engineer on the tunnel when it was constructed in 1959. After playing as children in a Richmond subdivision, Mellquist now lives in Sweden, his native country.

“In the back of my mind I thought, ‘maybe they have something.’ The Liberals looked like they were going to bulldoze ahead and when the NDP-Greens got in [government], it dawned on me maybe I should check with Ingvar, in case there was something laying around,” said Phillips, who has copied docu- n Wayne Phillips.

Title: Bayberry Island Author: Henry Cole Reviewed by: Richard, age 8 This book is about true friendship between Twig a chipmunk, Lilly a bunny and Basil a weasel. They set sail on a boat with a baby dragon named Chair, but the boat capsized in the middle of the sea. I like this book because the animals are very cute and they represent friendship and kindness. It tells you to never lie to your friends because if you lie like Basil, you will lose your friends and break your friendship between them. I recommend you to read this book because the relationship in this animal story are similar to our human world and it can be a real life situation.

I give this book five stars.

Title: Patient Zero Author: Marilee Peters Reviewed by: Shiraz, age 12 This book is about huge epidemics that happened and the “epidemic detectives” that found out where the outbreaks originated and how they were transmitted, mostly putting their own lives at risk. I like this book because it explains the stories of the different epidemics and detectives in an informative and vivid

way. The stories are full of facts and are narrated in a way that makes you want to keep reading. The book is a reasonable length and has pages with information and with nonfiction stories, so you have a good balance of entertainment and knowledge. It also has an amazing introduction and conclusion. n Brendan, age 10 I give this book four stars.

Title: Captain Underparns and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers Author: Dav Pilkey Reviewed by: Brendan, age 10 n Richard, age 8 This book is about a guy named Tippy Tinkletrousers returning.

He wants his revenge on Captain Underpants because he stopped him from taking over the world. At the end of the fight in the book Tippy Tinkletrousers traveled back in time five years ago before that night.

I like this book because it talks about two parts. It talks about George and Harold going to jail and also Captain Underpants fighting Tippy Tinkletrousers. After, when Tippy traveled back in time, it talks about how George and Harold met and how they beat the four bullies who always stole their money.

I give this book five stars.

60 years of saving lives Paula Carlson Contributor

F

rom extracting injured kids from the twisted metal of wrecked vehicles, to scooping scared cats from inside a burning home, to damping down the flames on a boat at sea, it’s just life — and sometimes death — on the job for Richmond firefighters.

For more than 60 years, members of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 1286 have been answering the call for help in Richmond.

The history of firefighters in Richmond actually has roots in the 1890s, said Cory Parker, president of IAFF Local 1286.

“There were volunteer firefighters stretching back to 1897 in the boroughs of Richmond…

Steveston, Broadmoor, Burkeville,” Parker said.

On Sept. 20, 1957, Richmond’s firefighters joined the IAFF, becoming part of a global brotherhood as Local 1286.

Volunteer members remained on duty until the early 1970s, but today, all 212 firefighters in Richmond are full-time, paid members of the union.

But while the designation has changed, the dedication remains the same.

Richmond crews attend three fire calls a day on average, and are usually first on scene to numerous medical emergencies, car crashes and accidents at home and work.

It’s a dangerous profession, with thousands of names from 1900 onwards listed in the IAFF Line of Duty Deaths Database.

In addition to putting their lives on the line, Richmond firefighters are also huge com-

The Richmond News will be honouring the firefighters’ years of service with a special newspaper section marking their 60th, featuring historical photos and stories.

“Richmond firefighters have been an integral part of the fabric of this community for more than 60 years and we are honoured to be able to acknowledge their outstanding contributions,” says Pierre Pelletier, Richmond News publisher.

The section will publish Wednesday, Sept.

here are few things worse than the day after Labour Day. People exclaim, “summer is over!” and rush back to school and work. Personally, I don’t subscribe to such psychological warfare against the Earth’s orbit. Summer isn’t over until Sept. 22 and there’s still lots to do in Steveston.

Over the long weekend I moseyed around the village and did quite a few things that can still be done over the next few weeks.

n Eat ice cream

n Garry Point Park beach

It was nearly 30 degrees Celsius on Tuesday for crying out loud. Labour Day doesn’t mean all of a sudden you stop eating ice cream, or frozen yogurt.

n Go swim

I hadn’t visited Steveston Pool in at least 20 years up until this summer. Some things never change, although I was shocked to be able to tippy toe around the deep end (1.83 metres). I’ll let you in on a secret: the pool remains open until Sept. 22, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. for lane swimming only. The kiddie pool is also open. Bring cash!

Sunday was the penultimate market day with Sept. 17 being the last of the season. The market this year was a bit smaller than usual but it’s still a great excuse to get into the village. Now that Costco has erected its fake Christmas trees, there are still lots of unique treats and crafts to be had for the upcoming gift-giving season.

n Fisherman’s Wharf

Go buy a wide variety of seafood items, with the exception of Fraser River sockeye salmon. Or not. At the least, you can strike up a conversation with fishers about what’s happening in our ocean. Pink salmon are still abundant but the prices are steeper than usual. Oh, and don’t feed the sea lions.

Canada Line crossing is not a bridge too far GEORDIEMcGILLIVRAY

Saddle Up

I

n my opinion, the best thing to happen to cycling in Richmond, maybe ever, was the creation of the Canada Line bridge.

Before its construction, any cyclist wanting to ride to Vancouver would have to share the road with traffic over the Arthur Laing Bridge, which ends with you having to merge in three lanes of traffic as the bike lane abruptly ends.

Or you could ride the sidewalk on the Oak or Knight bridges, which, in my experience, seem to get debris and glass from vehicle accidents shovelled onto them a couple of times a week.

With the Canada Line bridge, finally there was a safe route across the river specifically designed for a person with any type of bike and any skill level to leave Richmond safely.

The bridge is officially called the North Arm Bridge, but I’ll always refer to it as the Canada Line Bridge, so you know I’m talking about the bridge the train goes over.

City Scene It’s not too late to abandon bridge plan

By Harold Steves Councillor We saved millions by stopping the “Third Crossing” and an eight lane freeway through Stanley Park in the 1960s. Young people camped out on Georgia Street in protest. $200 million had already been spent on the freeway system, presently being torn down.

In 1974 the Dave Barrett NDP Government built a modern ferry system to North Vancouver. It is still working. The Sea Bus became an integral part in the development of Vancouver’s Sky Train System.

Now the John Horgan NDP Government can do it again.

Metro Vancouver’s public transit system is one of the best in North America. The last thing we need is to pay $4 billion to build a 10-lane bridge and freeway system replacing the George Massey Tunnel. Adding an additional tube to the tunnel has been planned for decades. The Barrett NDP planned a tube for LRT, and in 1989 Bill Van der Zalm’s Social Credit Government announced it would be built. In 2006 Gordon Campbell’s Liberal Government spent $27 million seismically upgrading the existing tunnel and providing for Rapid Bus, ready to add a “new bore next to the existing George Massey Tunnel”.

However, on December 12, 2012, Port Vancouver told Christy Clark’s Liberal Government they wanted the existing tunnel removed to allow dredging to City of Richmond | 6911 No. 3 Rd. Richmond BC V6Y 2C1 | Tel: 604-276-4000

www.richmond.ca

“15.5 metres below Geodetic Datum for 50 year life expectancy and 18.5 metres below for a 100 year life year expectancy”. Now the Port says they don’t have to dredge. This removes the main reason for building the bridge.

To date about $70 million has been spent on site preparation, engineering, and geotechnical work to confirm what we already knew. It is a liquefaction zone and bedrock is down 1,000 feet. Another $6 million has been spent for the proposal call. The amount BC Hydro wasted on removing transmission lines in spite of the election is still undetermined. So far about $50 million more has been spent on the bridge plan, nowhere near the point of no return.

Removal of tolls on bridges further east should reduce traffic in the tunnel. Loading trucks at night at the Port, Short Sea Shipping on the river, a ban on semi-trailer trucks at rush hour, plus immediate establishment of a Rapid Bus system , with parking on the Delta side, should further reduce traffic. This will give the province time and statistics to choose between adding an LRT tube to the tunnel as originally planned, or two lanes for cars and two lanes for LRT as planned by the Campbell government.

The Sea Bus LRT system has worked very well in Vancouver for the past 40 years without additional lanes for cars on the Lions Gate Bridge. An LRT system serving Delta and White Rock should work equally well.

Local health care is a cherished Canadian value, and a matter of great urgency in Richmond. The original hospital tower at Richmond Hospital, built in 1966, is now more than 50 years old and is seismically unstable, obsolete and rated as 79% deficient. It’s also unable to accommodate the exponential growth in Richmond, which also includes the fact that we have the fastest growing seniors population in all of British Columbia. The need for a new Acute Care Tower at Richmond Hospital is our community’s highest priority. We need the right facilities and equipment to meet the increasing demands of our growing population.

Reaching out in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, Richmond Hospital Foundation’s Community Cares Month unites our diverse community to inspire support for an important cause – to ensure local health care is there for you when you need it, now and in the future.

We need you to ACT NOW!

Emergency

Operating Rooms

NOW is the time to ACT

Emergencies can strike at any time, and seconds count when a life hangs in the balance. That’s why it is reassuring to know Richmond Hospital is there for you with 24hour emergency care. Our emergency team sees more than 55,000 patient visits in the Emergency Department each year. How quickly you get admitted depends on a variety of factors, but greater capacity within our hospital will positively impact the Emergency Department and other areas. Since 1966, Richmond has more than quadrupled in size to over 200,000 residents but its funded hospital beds have not even doubled to keep pace. With dramatically increasing numbers of patients and emergency visits, new facilities are required so that there is a bed for you when you or your family need it the most.

At Richmond Hospital, we are fortunate to have an outstanding team of surgeons who dedicate their own lives to saving the lives of patients. Our surgeons perform surgical procedures in a wide area of specialties including cancer surgery, orthopedics, general surgery, urology and ear, nose, throat (ENT), to name just a few. Surgical care is a vital need in Richmond, but our facilities do not match the calibre of care our surgeons provide. Our operating rooms were originally built below the flood plain and are at risk in a flood or tsunami. Our operating rooms are only half the size of what today’s standard is and do not easily accommodate all of the state-of-the-art surgical equipment in use today.

We know that it takes time to plan for a new Acute Care Tower. NOW is the time to ACT so that construction can begin by 2020 and meet the demands of the dramatic population growth expected in the next few years. You can help by making sure that our new provincial government and your local MLAs are aware of how important this is to you and the rest of Richmond. Elected officials are here to represent you and to ensure that communities in B.C. have the critical services they require. Write today!

Ask A Professional Q:

Q:

What is an Appraiser looking for when they come to my home?

A: In simple terms the focus of our questions are:

How big, old, updated, renovated, is your home and how well maintained is it? Is there anything good or bad about your property that will have a positive or negative effect on the value?

Our questions are posed to help us complete an accurate estimate of the value of your home.

So when a C&P appraiser asks questions, takes notes, and takes photographs, there is more going on than meets the eye. By doing so, we are gathering information about your home to ensure an accurate appraisal.

10 simple questions our appraiser will ask you at your home 1. Have you done any updates? Recently? Or in the past?

2. Do you know how old the roof is?

3. Have your renovations been completed with a permit?

4. Have you added an addition to your home?

5. Are you aware of any easements on the property?

6. Are you aware of any special assessments (if your home is a strata property)?

7. What is the total living area and style of the home?

8. Are you aware of an oil tank on the property?

9. Do you have a copy of a site survey certificate?

10. And finally, is there anything you need to know about the appraisal process?

Make sure you do not restrict your calories. Your body uses approximately 500 calories a day to create milk so it needs extra calories to produce milk for your baby.

• There is no one size fits all calorie need each day – it depends on your own individual needs and what your BMR is. We can help you with that.

• Ensure that you are having lots of nutrients from all food groups to help your milk – aim for lean proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, omega 3’s, eggs, lots of water and eat regular snacks in between meals.

• A healthy weight loss is between 500g – 1kg a week so don’t get carried away with numbers that are not realistic.

N-ACETYL CYSTEINE (NAC) is the acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine that has anti-oxidant properties through its ability to readily crosses the cell membrane where it helps to generate glutathione, a potent antioxidant that is present in every cell of the body.

NAC is sometimes prescribed by doctors to be nebulized and inhaled to help break down mucous to breathing. Taking NAC orally as a supplement on an ongoing basis can help reduce the risk of acute exacerbations of COPD.

Q: A:

Thumb sucking is a natural reflex for children. Sucking on thumbs, fingers, pacifiers or other objects can help babies feel secure, calm, happy and help them learn about their surroundings.

How Can I Help My Child Stop Thumb sucking?

• Praise your child for not sucking.

• Children often suck their thumbs when feeling insecure or needing comfort. Focus on correcting the cause of the anxiety and provide comfort to your child.

• For an older child, involve him or her in choosing the method of stopping.

• Your dentist can offer encouragement to your child and explain what could happen to their teeth if they do not stop sucking.

#2-6380 No. 3 Rd. Richmond, B.C.

Breathing is such an automatic function that we often do not realize how important our respiratory systems are until they are affected by something like the smoke that drifted into the Lower Mainland from the wildfires in the Interior of B.C. Thankfully, our respiratory tracts are lined with tiny hairs called cilia from the nose right down to the smallest bronchioles to help sweep debris and particulates out of the body. When the cilia are not able to work as well as they should (e.g., are overwhelmed), particulates can cause irritation to the mucosal lining of the respiratory tract. To help things along, there are some supplements that can support the lungs’ natural detoxification and respiratory function.

For those who work outdoors and are exposed to air pollutants on a regular basis, asthmatics or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease sufferers, LUNG FLUSH® and RESPRIT™ (both by OMEGA ALPHA) are herbal formulas based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that can be considered. Both formulas include ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory properties as well as help soothe the respiratory mucous membranes and expel mucous. Lung Flush® is considered a detoxification formula intended for short-term use (e.g., 3-4 weeks) and can be repeated sporadically. Resprit™ can be used on a regular basis by those with respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Q: Is thumb sucking bad for my child?

A:

Children usually stop sucking between the ages of two and four years old, or by the time the permanent front teeth are ready to erupt.

lungs naturally?

• Try light and gentle exercise and fit in what you can when you can. Don’t put pressure on yourself to do too much. Slow and steady wins the race.

After permanent teeth come in, thumb sucking can cause problems with the growth of the mouth as well as alignment of the teeth. It can also cause changes in the roof of the mouth. Pacifiers can affect the teeth essentially the same ways as sucking fingers and thumbs, but it is often an easier habit to break. The intensity of the sucking is a factor that determines whether or not dental problems may result.

breastfeeding, calories and weight loss?

Everyone has a different relationship with their body and with their own fitness and weight loss. This becomes even more apparent after you have had children and have pregnancy weight to lose. The good news is that it is possible to lose weight when breastfeeding providing your following a diet plan that is based on healthy eating principles and light exercise and is free from caffeine and any weight loss accelerants. Some mums want to lose the weight straight away and many others don’t even think about losing weight for more than a year after their baby is born (and many don’t think about for many years later). There is no right or wrong time to start thinking about pregnancy weight loss – unless you have a medical problem where weight loss is essential. Start when you’re ready and when you do, keep these factors in mind.

First of all, thank you for writing almost half my column for me. This company that travels around the county is one of the lowest paying places you could take your gold or coins to. Any reputable dealer in Canada pays more than they do.

I like to think that we are one of the highest paying dealers and it seems most of our reviews online agree with that. Our gold testing machine uses technology to tell the Karat of gold and the exact elemental composition of your gold. We also use it to test all gold coins and gold bars. The stone and acid technique is very old school and you have no idea how accurate they are doing that.

We buy gold and silver coins from Monday to Saturday 9:30am - 6:00pm. Gold jewelry has to come in on my days Monday, Wednesday or Friday. I alternate between my two stores so as to keep customers happy.

Q: I want to understand more about A:

I received a flyer in the mail regarding a company advertising to buy gold and silver coins, as well as gold jewelry. They showed all the places that they were going to be and claimed to pay the highest. I took a small amount of coins and a large amount of gold jewelry to them. I was quite unhappy with want they offered and did not sell to them.

The next day I came into your store and showed you the same jewelry. Your offer was almost double what they had offered me.

I watched you test some of the gold with a large machine and you showed me what Karat gold it was.

That other company did something with a stone to my jewelry and then told me what the total price was they would pay me.

You had everything listed by the Karat and had different prices based on the Karat. How can this work this way?

Please comment on some specific anti-aging services at Richmond Cosmetics in Ironwood Medical Clinic?

Dr. Manoj Singhal is the Medical Director and Cosmetic Specialist and oversees all of the clinic’s procedures.

Dermatological fillers are used for lip enhancement and many other anti-aging procedures.

For many it all starts in the cheeks with refilling the lost volume creating higher cheek bones which improves facial attractiveness.

We use other fillers to lessen the bags under the eyes and allow for a more refreshed youthful appearance.

Other common areas are the lateral mouth and “marionette lines” to allow for a more refreshed and youthful appearance. We use filler to enhance the chin especially if there are deficiencies with lost volume.

We use Belkyra for permanent treatment of the double chin which is an area that many find great satisfaction in treating.

Forehead wrinkles, frown lines and laugh lines or crow’s feet are treated with neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport which relaxes muscles to soften the wrinkles that start with aging. This leaves a smoother and younger appearance. Many people have been familiar with Botox for many years.

We won’t be satisfied unless our client is satisfied. We believe that looking good is great and then feeling good is absolutely priceless.

Please see our website at www.IronwoodMedicalClinic.com For a safe, non-surgical and natural cosmetic enhancement, it is vital to seek out an experienced physician with an aesthetic vision.

This will bring out your best features and allow you to look and feel your best. Please call or email us for a FREE consultation.

Q: What made you decide to become a Notary? a long time resident of Richmond and while A: Asbringing up a young family, it was a goal of mine

to establish a business that was located within the community I lived in, and which would also provide me with a number of opportunities.

I wanted to pursue a career that would put me in touch with people on a daily basis, where I could provide a service that in some way was a benefit to my community and the people within it, where I could grow with my community, and, where I could be of service to people of all ages.

Last but not least, I was looking for a career that would allow me some freedom and flexibility to be involved with my children as they were growing up, to be able to participate in their school and sports activities, and to establish a business that maybe one day, should they so choose, I could pass on to my children. The Notary Public profession has provided me with the opportunity to pursue and fulfill all of my goals.

The basics stay the same with each but the weight placed on different insurance aspects change.

Letting a professional clean out the inside of your furnace and inspect the Gas and the Electrical and all the components, increases the life and efficiency of your furnace.

No! If you have an issue with an employee reading other peoples mail in your company, or a hacker acquiring a password, do you think logs are available on something like Telus’s cloud e-mail service? Nope, not a single line of mail access logging even with a court order. Anything involved any kind of litigation where you need activity logs for many of the cloud services is a real problem. And court orders needed within another country cost a fortune. One incident and there goes your so-called savings from the cloud in perpetuity. From a legal and evidence collection standpoint, cloud computing can be a real financial and legal nightmare.

Malware protection for files stored on the cloud? Little if any and certainly not effective. I uploaded a bunch of malware to both Dropbox and Google Drive the other day and it caught less than half of it. And the bad guys know this.

Q: Can Chiropractors Recommend and A:

Provide Orthotics?

Yes. Chiropractors can assess your feet to determine if orthotics are required. If you want to build any structure, a strong foundation is one of the key components. The human body is no different. Alignment of the bones in the feet can influence the functional stability of the rest of the body.

There are several things you can do to keep your feet healthy. You should avoid activities that cause recurring pain in your feet, knees or hips. You should wear appropriate, properly-fitting athletic shoes when you exercise. And most important is to have your Chiropractor check the mechanical movement patterns of your feet, knees, hips and pelvis.

A routine gait analysis can pick up minor imbalances before they create major problems. Biomechanical evaluation often reveals patients feet rolling inwards or rather pronating. Orthotics can help to stabilize the lower extremities & pelvis to help maintain normal posture and reduce over pronation.

This often helps with problems like plantar fasciitis, foot or knee pain, and even low back pain. Thus, be sure to have your feet checked by your Chiropractor on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to take you where you want to go in a pain-free way.

a Seller, do I Q: Asa) look at each incoming offer as

it comes in, or b) hold-off until a certain date/time and look at all offers together (if there are multiples)?

A:

What an excellent question for your Realtor ®... there are strategies to support both options, so have this discussion with your Realtor ® before your property goes on the market for sale. Different geographic areas can work better going with a) or with b), so ask the question, and see which route your Realtor ® suggests you go.

Some believe that the first offer is often the best offer, with the most motivated Buyer, which means you may get a higher dollar for your property. Others strongly believe that when there are competing offers, a multiple-offer situation, that some Buyers will pay a higher price and perhaps make a better offer to you. One important thing to note is that some Buyers will not go into a multiple-offer situation, ever. If that is the case, you may very well lose a Buyer or two.

There are risks to both options, so make sure you discuss them. Whichever way you choose, your Realtor ® will make the necessary notes in your listing to be fair to all potential Buyers. If you are not working with a Realtor ® and you need to talk about this or your real-estate options, just call Deb @ 604-328-3507.

country fair with 58 years of history is coming back to South Arm United Church on Sept. 16.

Thousands of people will gather to enjoy a wide variety of local food and drinks, “oldfashioned” games, live entertainment from local artists and the city’s largest garage sale.

“What really makes the country fair special is that people come from different areas and ethnic groups in Richmond, and we all have a good time together, the (smiling) faces on the kids are great,” said Olwen Walker, cochair of the annual fair.

When it was started in 1959, the Annual Country Fair served as a special event for people from the local community to have fun together and purchase things for their kids going back to school.

“Many people moved here following work after a big plant was built down the road,” Walker explained.

“But there wasn’t much for them to do in the area, and there weren't things like a community hall, so this (country fair) was started as the community entrainment and a good way for the community to get together.”

Walker said the fair has almost remained the same style in the past decades, and

people today can still enjoy "old-fashioned" activities that they may never get the chance to experience elsewhere.

For example, attendees can take a bouncy bus through the fields, or a hay ride — a traditional recreational ride in a wagon pulled by a tractor — during the fair.

The fair also offers the largest garage sale in Richmond, where tens of thousands of items donated by churches will be sold.

“I don’t even hesitate to guess how many items we have!” said Walker.

She said when the fair was first introduced, people didn’t have a lot of money to spend, so a garage sale was started for them to come and buy things without spending a lot of money.

Walker noted that this year’s “celebrity” items include an old-style typewriter, a brand new stainless sink, and an antique piano.

Normally, three-quarters of the items will be sold at the fair and the rest will be sent to charitable organizations later, according to Walker.

People can also take home a variety of home baking, farm products, fresh flowers and plants.

“We have a guy who comes up from Seattle for home-made dill pickles every year,” said Walker.

“The love that you can really feel in the air is one of the things that really makes the country fair a special event,” said Walker. up a "Treading through Time" Walking Tour Map, then embark on a 90-minute selfguided tour of canneries, farms and homes of the waterfront village.

Latrace makes hometown curtain call

Sports Shorts SCOREBOARD

Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

It’s a scenario Jacob Latrace never imagined he would be in months earlier: starting goalie for his hometown junior hockey team.

The 20-year-old believed his career was over thanks to a heavy course load as an engineering student at UBC. All that changed soon after Steve Robinson was named head coach of the Richmond Sockeyes last April.

“I actually thought I was done hockey,” recalled Latrace. “It was definitely with mixed emotions.

I had heard rumours of him being here and sort of saw it coming, but that first talk we had was a good one. I told him ‘maybe’ then but I knew it was going to be a ‘yes’ in a day or so.”

Latrace will make his Sockeyes’ debut tomorrow night for the club’s regular season opener against the North Vancouver Wolf Pack at Minoru Arenas (7 p.m.). It will be his first time in action since he was traded to Richmond from the Delta Ice Hawks last October.

After couple of solid seasons in Delta, the Seafair product was at a crossroads as he began his second-year at UBC. The Ice Hawks changing their practice times didn’t help either.

“I was talking seven courses, which is the same I did the first-year but the classes were harder and the Ice Hawks’ had new practice times which didn’t work for me. I just couldn’t do it and had to tell them,” he said.

After five games, Delta traded Latrace to the only team that might be able to accommodate his demanding university schedule. However, he realized even playing in his own backyard wasn’t going to work. His playing rights remained with Richmond for what would be his final year of junior eligibility but it didn’t mean a whole lot until his former minor hockey coach was hired.

Robinson had coached Latrace for a year at the Midget A1 level before he made the jump to junior. They also worked together for a couple seasons of spring hockey. If that wasn’t enough incentive for Latrace to return, the Sockeyes hosting the 2018 Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial junior “B” championship certainly was.

“That’s just a bonus on top of it,” Latrace continued. “We are going to have such an older and

developed team with some real good young guys too. You just don’t get that without a team that is committed to going to Cyclone Taylor. I knew it was going to be a solid team.

“Steve is a great guy to play for. He is really down to earth with the boys. He is not above you in that sense and really wants to connect with you at that level of friendship too. I love him as a person and a coach.”

Latrace’s time in Delta included an outstanding run in the 2016 playoffs that saw him be the dif-

ference in the Ice Hawks’ opening round upset of the regular season champion Wolf Pack. Now he will be guarding the goal crease for the team that is Delta’s biggest rival.

“My first-ever junior tryout was with Richmond and that’s where I wanted to be at the start,” he added. “I got really lucky with (former Delta GM) Peter (Zerbinos) in going to the Ice Hawks. There maybe a rivalry but I have played with a lot of these guys before and we are friends off the ice.

It’s made it a real easy transition, actually.”

Robinson focused on improving Sockeyes’ production Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

T

he Richmond Sockeyes are hoping to keep scorekeepers on their toes this season.

After earning a reputation as being one of the top defensive teams in the Pacific Junior Hockey League in recent years, first-year head coach Steve Robinson plans to loosen the reigns a bit.

The Sockeyes’ offensive production ranked seventh in the 10-team circuit last season and they did not have a single player average more than a point per game.

Their inability to score on the road was their undoing in a seven game opening round series loss to the Grandview Steelers — marking the third straight year they had bowed out to the Burnaby-based team in the playoffs.

Robinson believes there was

already plenty of potential firepower in the line-up. He proved that by bringing back a number of veterans. The message all through training camp and the pre-season has been to finish scoring chances.

“It’s about changing their habits. I don’t want guys stuck in no man’s land. You are taking guys who are used to playing one way and you are asking them to play another,” explained Robinson. “I believe in building habits in practice and

that’s where it all starts.

“You read and react in a game. I trust you and you trust me. That’s what I think works best.”

Robinson raised a few eyebrows in the dressing room when he suggested the number of goals he wanted to see his team score in the regular season is 235. That’s over 100 more than last year’s output (132).

“They looked at me like I was crazy,” he laughed. “I have our

trainer clicking the number of goals at practice just to get that mentality. We’re making sure they are finishing every rebound because that has to be in their mindset.

“The last dominant offensive player they had here was Troy Kaczynski (74 points back in 201314). I think this team will be more balanced. Not necessarily a 50 goal guy but lots that could put up 20. That depth and balance I hope will be our strength.”

rycen Ko rolled to an impressive victory at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Prodigy Whistler Junior Championship last week.

The 14-year-old from Richmond finished at 5-under — with rounds of 70-69 at the Arnold Palmer-designed Whistler Golf Club — to capture the Bantam Boys title and earn a spot in the MJT Boston Pizza National Championship, presented by TaylorMadeAdidas, to be played at Reunion Resort in Orlando, FLA, Nov. 10-12.

“Staying calm was key to the victory because if I didn’t, things could easily have gotten out of hand for me,” said Ko, who was nine strokes better than runner-up Riley Lai. “My highlight was making a 20-foot putt on number nine after double bogeying hole six and bogeying seven.”

Other Richmond results included Tina Jiang finishing second in the U15 Girls Division with rounds of 81-77. Elsie Liu was sixth (85-84) and Cadenc Ko (88-88) was seventh.

Meanwhile, the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour also held its Mini Tour National Championship last week at Tsawwassen Springs for players 12 and under.

This event offered excemptions into the U.S. Kids Golf Australian Open in Sydney next January and the World Junior Golf Championships at Wigwam Golf Resort in Phoenix in November.

Daniel Xu, 11, just missed capturing the Pee Wee Boys honours, losing in a playoff to Surrey’s Justin Bjornson.

Both players had finished the 36 holes tied

■ Brycen Ko fired rounds of 70-69 to cruise to a nine shot victory in the Bantam Boys Division at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour event in Whistler last week.

at 143 total score with 73-70 from Bjornson and 72-71 from Xu. On the first playoff hole, Bjornson hit the flag with his approach shot, and when Xu narrowly missed his 25-foot birdie attempt, it was Bjornson who calmly knocked in his six-foot birdie putt to capture the title and trophy.

Tina Jiang, 12, was third in the Pee Wee Girls Division with rounds of 73-77 to finish just two strokes behind the winner.

The next game will tell us.
