Thoughts on giving thanks EVEEDMONDS Editor

EDITOR@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

I

’ve heard it said, from a doctor no less, that “the human brain has evolved to have a negativity bias.”

Meaning, the bad things in our environments stand out more and are better remembered than the good ones.

And the reason for that isn’t just we’re a bunch of Negative Nellies. Rather, that quick recognition of danger has been key to our survival as a species, according to evolutionary biologists. As lovely as it may have been to soak up a sunset on the Serengeti, it mattered more to spot the tiger in the tall grass, if you wanted to get home in one piece.

But while negativity has helped keep us alive in many a sticky situation, it can also be deadly when it takes the form of depression and anxiety.

As is usually the case when it comes to maintaining good health, it’s all about balance.

The challenge here is it takes a lot more positivity to counteract negativity because of our brain’s higher sensitivity to negative factors.

“We have to think of five positive observations to balance out one negative – just to come out even,” notes Dr. Davidicus Wong. This calls into question that line, “it takes more muscles to frown than smile,” doesn’t it?

Regardless, the lesson is, don’t ignore the sunset. Or, as Bing Crosby once sang, “ac-cent-tchuate the positive.”

This being Thanksgiving weekend, it seems a fitting time to think about just how to do that.

My brain knows, I’m blessed in so many ways, yet I can’t honestly say I wake up every morning and give thanks for the fact I have clean drinking water — not to mention a warm home and a loving family.

As with anything, we get habituated and take things for granted. But there’s hope. My sister told me about the latest in pop psychology — Gratitude Therapy.

In fact, it seems Gratitude Therapy is the new mindfulness. Instead of challenging oneself to “be present,” the job is to be grateful. And not in just a vague, general way, but with intention.

So, if you don’t like the fact someone left dishes in the sink — again, actually stop and write down five things you do like about that person; hair colour will do.

And even if there isn’t a bone of contention, set reminders throughout the day to think of five things you love about your loved one, or your job, or your home.

As with mindfulness, it’s practice, practice, practice because, if we do it enough, I’m told, we can actually rewire our brains.

So, that’s my challenge for this Thanksgiving weekend — apart from not boiling the Brussels sprouts into oblivion — to give thanks, often, and to pause before our meal to express gratitude.

My kids may balk, as they haven’t been raised to say grace, and perhaps that’s a shame. Simply taking a moment to be present, be thankful and know we are all part of something bigger can only aid digestion — not just of Thanksgiving dinner, but all of life’s sunsets and tigers.

Dear Editor, Sunday Sept. 17 was an inspirational day at Garry Point Park as 400 plus participants and volunteers joined together to honour Terry Fox’s legacy at the annual run/walk in his name. We are proud to report that over $18,000 was raised for cancer research.

We are thankful to the many individuals, groups and businesses that collectively made this possible.

Our dedicated and hardworking committee members: Maria Medic, John Hopkins, Kishore Nair, Peter Mitchell, Bill McNulty, Marla Jampolsky, Harley Rollins, George Agnew, Kevin Lainchbury and Lisa Ruskey worked tirelessly to make sure everything went smoothly.

We had an incredible team of volunteers including a remarkable group of students from the Junior and Senior Leadership Program at McMath secondary.

We would also like to thank all the com-

Mayor helps local kids Mayor Brodie, KidSport Richmond is extremely grateful that you invited us to be the local charity at your fundraising banquet this year, held Wednesday.

Thanks to your invitation to be part of this evening, a total of $13,720 was raised for KidSport Richmond.

All of this money raised will help children from financially challenged

What do you do with your house?

Though numerous writers have recently been discussing how you cannot count on your house to financially help you in your retirement years, I don’t accept that. In my view, many people over the past decade or so have used their houses to help finance retirement or a certain lifestyle. The point is that you need to consider your options, and get some good advice.

Given where the market seems to be right now, the easiest step to take with a house is to sell it (without capital gain, if it’s your residence) and buy something smaller, assuming you don’t need as much space. There is typically emotional attachment to a house, but that needs to be overcome and not mixed with your financial planning.

A reverse mortgage, though an option, brings with it compound interest. After a few years, you’ll find that the balance owing climbs quickly and heavily given the compounding. A line of credit is better than a reverse mortgage because, as borrower, you use only what money you need at any given time. So, interest does not accumulate as with a reverse mortgage.

You need to think about these options carefully. At least from a tax perspective, the best steps involve a (tax-free) sale of the residence, purchasing a less expensive one, and investing the cash difference that will earn you income.

More tunnel study a waste n This series of ads on the east side of Highway 99 confront drivers as they approach the George Massey Tunnel from Delta. They read: “Stuck in traffic?” “Thank these guys” and “Tell the NDP to build the bridge; replace the tunnel.” Photo submitted

Attack ads distract, misinform Dear Editor, The Liberal Attack signs on Highway 99, south of the Massey Tunnel, do two things: 1. They distract drivers and potentially cause accidents.

2. They misinform the public.

Our new government has wisely chosen to review the Massey Tunnel project to best determine how to move forward and reduce traffic conges-

tion. An educated decision is a smart decision, and I appreciate that my tax dollars will be spent appropriately.

The Liberal attempt to circumvent the review process is a lame attempt to fool the public and play on people’s frustration.

If the Liberals would just work with the NDP and Greens, they could be part of an effective process to determine the best possible solutions to

traffic congestion.

Our province needs MLAs who respect their constituents and work hard to inform them instead of trying to manipulate them.

These self-serving signs are just a political game, and I have no respect for that. Shame on you.

Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants

Dear Editor, Re: “Life before the tunnel,” Letters, Sept. 1.

In rummaging through your letters section, I came across a letter written by a woman by the name of Wray who offers that she was born in the century prior and that she can recall that a barge was used to cross the Fraser River where the Massey Tunnel now sits firmly embedded in the silt.

Not that it matters a whit, I, too, was born in those bygone days, but unlike her, I lived in Saskatchewan during the Great Depression and experienced much, much more hardships that a mere barge crossing of a river. Oh, well, that was then and this is now.

I suppose that both Ms. Wray and Richmond Mayor Brodie are jumping up and down with glee now that the NDP has dumped the proposed Fraser River bridge in favour of, what? More studies to go along with 150 currently lying on tables and shelves begging to be read and acted upon?

According to media, the NDP minister responsible for boondoggles has stated she will “go back to square one.”

If she really wants to go back to square one, then read the ruddy reports; but, no, she wants to spend more taxpayers’ money on going back to square one.

Reference has been made to the idea that a bridge will add congestion to the existing situation with the unstated comment that by retaining and/or expanding the Massey Tunnel none of that will happen. It seems that Trudeau’s pot party has begun, firmly planted in Richmond.

The Lower Mainland region’s population will increase and with that comes more vehicles struggling to squeeze through a pension-aged tunnel. So, we’re faced with more years of studying just to satisfy personal egos and political aims.

Disabled dancers move to good vibrations hen they perform, they bop to the beat, creating a unique rhythm and rhyme like any other professional artists — except for the fact they can’t hear or see.

The artists form a group called the Chinese Disabled People Art Troupe, which will perform at the River Rock Theatre Saturday.

The troupe, made up of 21 deaf dancers and 10 instrument players with vision challenges, will give performances in dance, music, and sign language poems.

“All the performers are professional artists.

We hope our performance will let the audience get to know the beauty of this special art,” said Jing Wang, the troupe’s vice leader.

One of their representative performances is called Thousand-hand Bodhisattva, in which 21 deaf dancers move like one.

The performers jive with the rhythm and work in unison, which is remarkable, considering some have never heard music in their life due to congenital disabilities.

“During practice, the dancers use drumming and the vibration of the floor to feel the

tempo, then remember it in their hearts,” said Qi Wang, the spokesperson of the troupe, who lost part of her vision when she was born and started learning Erhu — a Chinese traditional instrument — at age six.

“When they are on the stage, the performers recall the tempo in their mind and get hints on important time nodes by looking at an instructor off the stage out of the corner of their eyes,” she said.

Qi Wang said they also have dances by artists with vision loss in which performers find their position on the stage using a very thin string that connects them to each other.

Qi Wang and nine other artists with vision challenges will play music and sing; Wang will also take the role as a host.

“When we play in a group, since we can’t see a command, we really have to feel each other and practice really hard to form a tacit understanding,” said Yu Yu, another instrument player.

“We hope to show that people with disabilities can still create so much beauty and shine on the stage,” said Jing Wang “Whether you have a disability or not, you shouldn’t give up the hope and courage to create a beautiful life.”

Oktoberfest beer garden busted Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

A

fter two years, OktoberfeSteveston may be no more, with the event’s organizer blaming the City of Richmond for running interference.

Steveston businessman Davood Khatami said he’s considering pulling the plug on the fledgling street party and beer garden because there’s “too much hassle” from the city.

Khatami, who owns Davood’s bistro on No. 1 Road, claimed he jumped through all of the city’s event-planning hoops in the weeks leading up to last Saturday’s German-themed party, but had to wait until the day before to finally get the go-ahead.

He accused the city of making life difficult and even blamed them for influencing the liquor board, which, at the last minute, changed the beer garden permit to 7 p.m. from 10 p.m.

The revellers who packed the beer garden, where local rock band Thor was playing, initially thought the early closing time was a joke, Khatami lamented.

No laughing matter, however, is the potential $2,500 he could be out of pocket in lost beer sales from an event that he was running at cost for the community.

“As it stands right now, no, I won’t be doing this next year,” an angry Khatami told the Richmond News.

“I’ll just have a private event and make money out of it. I have 20 cases of beer, worth $1,400, that the liquor store now won’t take back.

“It likely cost between $5,000 and $6,000 to put this on, just to cover the costs. I paid the permit fees, I have to feed and water the volunteers, I gave up many days of my own time for this. I’m doing this for free, for the community, not to make a profit.

“The city interfered with something that was none of their business; they’re so narrow-minded. Unless it’s a city-run event, they don’t want it.”

When Khatami was told by the liquor board that the liquor permit for the beer garden was changed to 7 p.m. he said they cited police concerns.

“We had zero complaints last year that I’m aware of. The police are residents here, many of them were in the beer garden,” he added.

City spokesperson Kim Decker said that applications for special events are made through the online “REACT” system and that sometimes, the “applications are not complete.”

“Many departments, inside and outside of the city see these applications in real time,” explained Decker.

“We had 100 such applications last year and every single

one of them got approved before the event.”

The one in question, she added, wasn’t complete. “The applicants have an obligation to make sure the application is thorough.”

In the days and weeks prior to trying to get the street party permit from the city, Khatami claims he assured authorities he would have a traffic controller, security, neighbours’ permission, proper food serving conditions, as well as giving assurances to the fire department and RCMP about emergency access.

Liquor board concerns about fencing, entrances and exits and security at the beer garden, behind Steveston Seafood House, were all taken care of, said Khatami.

“I did everything (the city and liquor board) asked of me, and they do this.”

On the day of the event, a liquor board inspector showed up at the beer garden, said Khatami, and “everything looked good, I was told.”

But not long after the band started, the inspector called last orders at 7 p.m.

Decker said there was information “brought to light” around Sept. 26 that the city had safety concerns about.

“It’s about public safety, not red tape.”

Asked if that “information” was the beer garden, Decker said that “if something is advertised as being part of the event, then that’s something we have to consider.”

Asked why the beer garden permit was changed the day before the event, a spokesperson for the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch said it couldn’t comment on private business matters.

T

he City of Richmond’s latest fire hall is special for a number of reasons.

As well as being the biggest of its kind in Richmond, the new, 26,000-square-foot, $20.7 million Cambie Fire Hall No. 3 houses the city’s fire truck mechanic shop and a new training facility.

More significantly, the shiny building – which became operational in May after replacing the the 55-year-old Bridgeport Fire Hall – is the first in a major B.C. city to inte-

grate with the ambulance service.

And during a media tour of the building Wednesday, ahead of next week’s public open house, both the fire and ambulance departments lauded the benefits of being housemates.

From page 8 in the fire department training facility next week; helping them know where we store equipment in our ambulances, for example.

“It just makes the (emergency) calls more seamless. If they don’t know where that piece of equipment is, then I would have to leave the immediate area and go show them or get it myself.”

Equally pleased with his new tenants, Brian MacLeod, Richmond Fire-Rescue spokesperson, pointed out there is usually “lots of collaboration (between the services) after calls.

“They would have to come to us or us to them to go through things; now we can do that in the same house,” explained MacLeod.

Other unique features of the new fire hall are its state-of-the art rapid opening bay doors to help speed response in emergencies. The City of Richmond has signed a

20-year lease with British Columbia Emergency Health Service (BCEHS) to co-locate Ambulance Station No. 250 within the new fire hall.

The ambulance bay has space for up to six ambulances, making it one of the biggest ambulance stations in the Lower Mainland.

Both the fire and ambulance sides of the building have new kitchen and resting quarters, as well as a new, shared gym.

The city and BCEHS are hosting a grand opening of the new fire hall on Saturday, Oct. 14, complete with free tours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., fun family activities and safety demonstrations by fire fighters and paramedics.

The new facility has room for future growth and also includes a public art installation by Daniel Laskarin, which comprises of three interlocked triangular panels standing on a raised circular platform, with a flickering glow inside.

Group finds ‘voice’ with tunnel win GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

group of environmentalists and concerned citizens that emerged from the bulrushes of the Fraser River less than two years ago is not only growing, but it already claims to have scored a major political win in only its infancy as a registered society in B.C. Fraser Voices declared it a “great victory” when the George Massey Tunnel replacement bridge was cancelled by the new NDP government.

“But the struggle is not over,” noted the group on its Facebook page Sept. 6.

Fraser Voices is intent on becoming a fixture in mainstream discourse over issues of development along the Fraser River, the crown jewel it seeks to protect from jet fuel, coal, LNG and expanded container ship traffic.

“My main concern is survivability of the marine environment in the river,” said Barbara Huisman, the society’s co-managing director.

With that in mind, Huisman has helped herd what was once “a loosely collected group of people who had various concerns about the Fraser River.

“It seemed like a good idea where like-minded people could get together and collectively have more strength.

That’s how it came about,” said Huisman, a registered, lead auditor for environmental systems.

For instance, members include Delta resident Doug Massey, a staunch critic of the Massey Tunnel replacement project who has unearthed numerous provincial government documents he contends show the project lacked adequate public and professional consultation.

Massey notes the bridge would have required extensive groundwork on the silty soils and there’s no indication this had been adequately assessed. So, it’s unknown if the engineering alone could put the bridge well over budget, as like the Port Mann Bridge, which showed a taxpayer-backed $572 million cost overrun, according to recently leaked

n Fraser Voices generally opposes more infrastructure for cars.

Above, they show the difference in road demand (from the same amount of people) between, from left to right, buses, bikes and cars. “Cars cost us in so many ways: Space on our roads, the fresh air we’d otherwise get when riding a bike or walking instead, and the cost of building those roads,” notes its Facebook post.

documents.

Then there’s Eric Doherty, a professional transportation planner, who objects to a new crossing that doesn’t include a rapid transit (rail) line. Doherty notes that expanded highways beget more traffic.

John Terborg, a land and water systems analyst and environmental activist, is opposed to removing the existing tunnel, fearing it will lead to future, deeper river dredging proposed by Port of Vancouver, thus allowing more salt water to flow up river, damaging the ability to irrigate farms.

Fellow activist Eoin Finn, a critic of the LNG industry, contends a planned terminal expansion in Delta puts populations and the Highway 99 crossing at risk of an explosion. Finn contends LNG is energy intensive and counters industry-led oxymoron slogans such as “clean LNG,” noting it’s nevertheless a fossil fuel.

Retired fish biologist Otto Langer, president of VAPOR, a group that opposed a now under construction 80-million litre jet fuel storage facility next to Riverport, is a vocal critic of Canada’s federal environmental review process, or lack thereof.

Fraser Voices, driven by an underlying desire to halt climate change, also includes members from the Watershed Salmon Society, Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, BC Waterfowl Society, Delta Farmer’s Institute, Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Council of Canadians and Voters Taking Action on Climate Change.

Huisman claims Fraser Voices is bi-partisan. While members aren’t likely to liven the atmosphere at a Conservative Party event, they have been critical of the federal Liberals who have delayed strengthening environmental laws and protections that were weakened in 2012. They want the Liberals to look at the “cumulative risk assessment” of numerous industrial projects along the Fraser River.

“Each one has a predictability there will be a spill. You add them all together and that’s not a risk I want to take,” said Huisman.

And now the provincial NDP is on the clock, said Huisman.

“Right now we are really focused provincially. Why? Because there are urgent concerns. We’re very concerned about that 10-lane bridge,” said Huisman.

She said a twinned tunnel is the preferred option so that the existing tunnel isn’t removed.

“We definitely don’t want the dredging. It’s a big deal.”

And, “we definitely want a rail line. That’s not in the plans now,” said Huisman.

With no rail, “we’re facilitating cars . . . We need to get people out of cars and that’s the environmental perspective we like to put on it,” she said, noting there had been no analysis of the rapid transit option when the BC Liberals decided on a 10-lane bridge — although, it did included two dedicated HOV/bus lanes.

The anti-bridge message has been a tough sell for those stuck in traffic on a daily basis.

As environmentalists are commonly labelled as antidevelopment, Fraser Voices posts on its website, “We do not oppose development. We oppose reckless development that threatens human lives and the environment.”

n Fraser Voices has staged small, attention-grabbing rallies, such as this one at a George Massey Tunnel replacement project open house in September, 2016. Photo by Graeme Wood/Richmond News

And so with just over 1,000 Facebook followers, they’ve crafted their message.

Member Sandra Bourque said Fraser Voices was determined in the last provincial election to focus less on details of environmental laws and review processes as “people only care if they can get through a tunnel” or over a bridge.

“That’s why we realized we’ve got to focus on things that matter to the vast majority of people and surely to God safety is one of them,” said Bourque.

Some discourse can be alarmist, such as LNG explosions or members saying a bridge with pillars built in silty soils is dangerous — as though it cannot be engineered (engineers/ contractors say otherwise). In turn, pro bridge supporters provide more theatre in claiming the existing tunnel is unsafe, as though it cannot be upgraded to modern standards (which it can be).

Or, to escape the political theatre entirely, Huisman said she tries “to talk about things most people would appreciate.

I talk about the salmon in the river and the tankers and the risk that goes with them. They want the beauty of the Fraser.

They don’t want it ruined.”

Port's mandate is 'a crock,' says MP Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

S

teveston-Richmond East Member of Parliament Joe Peschisolido says he’s prepared to take action on Port of Vancouver’s alleged ambiguous governance structure and abdication of national economic and environmental objectives that has made bedfellows of local environmentalists and Mayor Malcolm Brodie, among others.

“I just don’t think they are There are those who doing what is in their think the port is doing a jurisdicgood job. I’m not one of tion to do,” Peschisothose. lido told a – Joe Peschisolido group of Richmond and Delta residents at a town hall he hosted in Steveston, Sept. 12.

The federal Liberal politician believes the Government of Canada has lost its ability to steer port-related policy on the West Coast.

This, contends Peschisolido, has led to the arms-length federal entity Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, otherwise branded Port of Vancouver (and formerly Port Metro Vancouver),

overstepping its mandate, which is overseen by a board of directors that is largely chosen by government (eight of 11 members) on the recommendations of industry.

“A port does not create public policy.

Public policy is created through the people of the elected representatives and a port is a landlord and they make money for the community by having leases for private enterprise that gets stuff in and out. Full stop; that is the function of the port.

“What’s occurred is there’s a hands-off relationship with the board of directors, so in effect the management team calls the shots, which can be good or bad depending on your perspective, because there are those who think the Port of Vancouver is doing a good job. I’m not one of those,” said Peschisolido.

Responding to Peschisolido’s comments, Port of Vancouver spokesperson Danielle Jang said the board meets six times a year but management is delegated to port CEO Robin Silvester.

Annually the port makes over 200 “environmental determinations” under the 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, ergo, “it would not be practical for the board to be involved in all those decisions,” said Jang.

Since federal environmental checks and balances were weakened in 2012 under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, See Langer page 15

Langer: Port conflicted From page 14 environmentalists have charged that a series of industrial projects along the Fraser River Estuary — ranging from coal shipments, a new jet fuel terminal and pipeline, LNG terminal expansion and a new container terminal — have failed to be reviewed substantively for their cumulative effects, including climate change, by the federal government.

“The port assesses projects it’s going to build; those that are on its land that it will then profit from,” said community activist Otto Langer, a retired Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) fish biologist.

“I’ve never seen a greater conflict of interest in my whole life.”

Jang said “the port authority employs a team of environmental scientists, community and aboriginal affairs specialists, and professional planners to lead coordinated reviews of proposed projects.”

Another speaker at last month’s event told Peschisolido the port needs more transparent decision making.

Likewise, Brodie has long-taken aim at the board, alleging it has refused to meet with municipalities over farm development concerns.

In August, he said the board once again refused an opportunity to meet. Only one of the 11 board members is appointed by elected municipal representatives.

“I agree with [the] analysis,” said Peschisolido.

“I believe there should be an overhaul. As we say colloquially, you blow it up and start again.

“The Government of Canada and Minister of Transport has instituted a review of the process,” he added.

Langer said the Liberals are stalling on meaningful changes.

But while Peschisolido said he was concerned about the port’s environmental mandate, his main argument against the port continues to be its institutional bias.

Essentially, the port is trying to expand at the expense of national, economic interests, said Peschisolido.

For instance, the port has failed to take meaningful action on handing over container traffic to inland ports, such as at Ashcroft.

“Every major port in the world, best practices in the world, never unloads the stuff in the metropolitan area. Why? It doesn’t make economic sense,” said Peschisolido.

“Land in that area is worth a whole lot

more and there are alternative economic activities for that land. So you go inland.”

Peschisolido also noted the port’s proclivity to buy and develop local farmland is questionable in light of such options.

“If that process were to develop naturally, you’d have a slough of inland ports. But you have a board, seekers of rent, that is artificially using their position as a port authority to disrupt where things will go. And they talk about free markets but it’s crock,” said Peschisolido.

“The mandate of a port is to be efficient . . . If you do a pure, free market analysis of the port they don’t do that. They’re rent seekers in that they use their position of power to do things that wouldn’t otherwise occur.”

In another example, Peschisolido said Prince Rupert’s port should be expanded as containers transiting from Asia to America’s East Coast save a day and a half going through the north, via rail.

“If you allowed things to evolve naturally . . . economically it makes sense to go through Prince Rupert.

“The board of Port of Vancouver would disagree. And I argue that’s because they want [containers] in their territory,” he said.

The port’s Jang countered both ports, Vancouver and Prince Rupert, need to grow and there are supply-chain considerations as to why the port seeks more containers.

Airbnb-style car rental on its way Car sharing platform to hit Richmond DAISYXIONG Staff Reporter

DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

T

Since its launch in last April, thousands of people have used the platform to lease a car or rent one from strangers in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta.

Like house-sharing platform Airbnb, users select the date and city they’d like to rent a car, see the features, picture and rate before booking it online and picking it up.

“Many individual car users rent out their cars at a lower price, which makes the rate very competitive. That’s after the money being saved from not having the staff or paying the rent for a store,” said Mathieu.

The platform also has a rating system that renters and owners can score each other on using references.

Now Turo offers services in more than 4,000 cities and has more than four million customers across the world, with 220,000 members in Canada.

However, the company has encountered two “speedbumps” while expanding to B.C. — insurance and legislation.

In the other three provinces in Canada, Turo has worked with an insurance company to create special coverage for cars that don’t have commercial rental insurance.

In that way, both the car owner and renter are covered by the insurance policy and receive protection from Turo.

But that type of insurance doesn’t apply to insurance policies in British Columbia.

“B.C. has unique insurance regulations which do not allow us to apply the same insurance we use in other provinces here at the moment,” said Mathieu.

As a compromise, the company now only allows car rental companies, which have commercial rental insurance, to list their cars on the platform in B.C.

“The currently available commercial rental insurance in the province is too expensive for individuals to purchase,” said Mathieu.

Legalizing the peer-to-peer car sharing service in B.C. is also a challenge.

Although the company is confident with the timeline, given the slow process of legalizing other sharing services such as Uber and Airbnb in B.C., expert said the company still has a long way to go.

“The interest parties whose businesses will be affected will be opposed to it, such as local rental companies and platforms like ‘car2go,’” said David Hardisty, an assistant professor at the UBC Sauder School.

Rismi admits that, despite the benefit Turo provides, if the platform is open to every car owner in B.C. in the future, it may have an impact on his business.

“Then all car rental companies in the market will have to reduce their prices,” said Rismi.

“I can see a 10 to 20 per cent drop of my business if people can rent a car from everybody…But it hasn’t happened yet. Let’s see how far this will go.”

Hardisty also pointed out the risks of renting cars to or from strangers.

“There are risks with having someone living in your house, but I think having someone driving your car has much higher risks,” said Hardisty.

“Will he damage your car in ways you don’t notice? Or will they just drive your car away?

“And for car renters, how to ensure the car is in good condition and all the functions are up to date? Those are the questions people need to ask.”

Gilbert Rd.

uro, a car-sharing system that allows local car owners to rent their own cars to others, says it’s expecting Richmond to be one of its first bases of operations in B.C. The company still has a number of legislative and insurance hurdles to overcome before realizing it’s car version of Airbnb, but in the meantime, three Richmond car rental companies are using Turo to rent cars in the more conventional way.

Getting it’s name out through car rental companies is a stepping stone for the U.S.-based company to bring its system to the province, and eventually achieve peer-topeer car sharing, where individuals can rent cars from individual car owners.

Richmond-based West Coast Car Rental has listed 42 cars on the new platform.

“We are opening extra doors and getting more renters through the platform,” said Nawas Rismi, managing director of West Coast Car Rental.

“This is our first step to expanding into B.C. – working with those car rental companies, who already have commercial rental insurance and getting our name out,” Cedric Mathieu, Turo Canada director, told the Richmond News.

In the meantime, the company is working on partnership with ICBC to create a new type of insurance for individual car sharers, as well as persuade the government on a legislative level.

“Many cars are sitting there without being used. Our platform can allow individual car owners to offset the cost of their car by renting their’s out,” he said.

“B.C. has a big tourism industry, and we have already seen the demand for, and potential of, this car-sharing service.”

Tackle the jungle LYNDAPASACRETA Garden Club

Dr. Neil Zastre Inc. is heading to a new location in a brand new facility in Steveston!

D

o you find yourself keeping the blinds closed on all your windows because you just hate to look at the jungle that has taken over your yard?

Many of us purchased homes with pretty little landscaped trees, shrubs and plants put in by the developer.

Unfortunately, the landscaping didn’t come with instructions and many of the plants were wrong for the size of yard and location.

If not properly maintained, the shrubs, plants and trees start to take a life on their own. They become entangled into each other with the odd invasive vine wrapping itself around neglected landscaping.

Small trees, if not managed properly, become mammoth trees blocking out much needed light into our homes.

Many developers don’t put the right trees into the landscape during construction.

Small trees that have grown into gigantic trees located right beside your house can invade drainage systems, building structures and grab any moisture from the ground to nourish themselves.

Other shrubs and plants around these giant trees will suffer from lack of water.

Many homeowners seem to give up when landscaping gets out of control. There is no interest in watering or even trying to deal with the mess.

But pride of ownership is still important to them. It is just an overwhelming task to tackle, leaving most people unable to decide where to start!

Including a pleasing landscaped yard into your regular home maintenance budget is as important as maintaining your roof. Neglected landscaping can damage building structure, driveways, drainage and can attract pests such as rats, raccoons, chafer beetles.

Recently our neighbours reached out to me to find out how to fix their landscape disaster.

They made the decision to hire a landscape designer. They were very diligent in the process by requesting a few quotes.

They chose a designer that not only did they feel comfortable with and trusted, the designer also asked the right questions — “How long do you plan on living in this neighbourhood? Have you seen any landscaping or plants that you love?”

The designer also explained that no matter what type of planting is integrated into the new design, the homeowners have to water regularly.

The transformation of their garden is stunning. The landscaper incorporated a preponderance of large boulders and rocks.

The drought resistant shrubs and plants highlighted the rocks. For those homeowners who struggle with watering there are only a few plants to water in this garden design.

To make sure you hire the right landscape company, get at least two to three quotes.

Visit a neighbour whose garden design you love and ask who did the work.

ichmond wushu standout Bianca Go is getting ready to return to the competitive mats before beginning the next chapter of her life.

The recently-turned 18-year-old is entered in the upcoming Western Canadian Martial Arts Championships then is headed to China next month for the Traditional Wushu World Championships where she will be competing in one of her specialty events — single straight sword.

It was roughly a year ago when Go returned from the Junior World Championships in Bulgaria in need of a deserved break from the modern exhibition of traditional martial arts that requires tremendous power, flexibility and coordination.

Over compensating for a nagging left tendon, Go injured her other foot and barely made it through her jingo (straight sword) event, somehow finishing 10th.

The injuries, however, forced her to withdraw from the championships.

Months of rest and rehabilitation followed as Go focused on her Grade 12 year at Magee Secondary where she was part of the Vancouver school’s SPARTS program for high performance athletes. Finally, she was not only ready to

Heng Wushu Taichi Institute.

Her entire focus on wushu will be short term.

Go has enrolled in the year-long Early Childhood Education program at Langara and will begin fulltime studies in January.

“I’ve actually taken a gap semester,” explained Go following one of her teaching sessions last week. “I never would have been able to take two weeks off from school to compete in China. It’s just a lot of training and coaching right now and I like being here. I’m feeling much better now and hope I stay this way.”

Go is unsure where her wushu career is headed once she has earned her diploma. She is now a senior age athlete and can compete at least into her late 20s if she wishes too. It may depend on what career opportunities are in front of her.

“It’s going to depend if my body can still take it and how it fits in with work and school. It’s going to be all about balancing things,” she smiled.

Go has always enjoyed performing wushu exhibitions and promoting the sport at events throughout Metro Vancouver. It was watching a demonstration years ago that piqued her initial interest.

“I really like performing,” she added. It’s not as much pressure and it’s fun to show other people what wushu is and I get to promote my sport.”

ichmond’s Tyler Horstmann is among 20 players named to the U16 Team B.C. that will be competing in the upcoming 2017 Western Hockey League (WHL) Cup in Calgary.

Wednesday’s final roster announcement concluded an extensive tryout process that began last spring and included a week-long provincial camp in Shawnigan Lake back in July.

Horstmann, a 15-year-old forward, came through Seafair Minor Hockey’s rep program before shifting over to the Delta Hockey Academy in Tsawwassen last season to play at the Bantam Prep level. He was among 14 DHA players selected in last spring’s WHL Bantam Draft — going 70th overall to the Edmonton Oil Kings.

He has moved back closer to home this season — playing for the Richmond Olympic Oval based Greater Vancouver Canadians of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. He has three points in four games.

The WHL Cup, formerly known as the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup, features the highest-rated U16 players from Alberta, B.C. Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The four team round-robin format is the first step in the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence (POE) and assists the western provincial hockey Branches in evaluating the top prospects in this age group for future high-performance programs. The WHL Cup is made possible through financial support provided by the WHL. B.C. kicks off its schedule Oct. 18 against
