Mansion hatred isn’t race-based

New bylaw is a boon

Re: “White folks have double standards,” Letters online, Sept. 30.

It’s nice to see the City of Richmond is recognizing various needs in the community and implementing changes to meet those needs.

Dear Editor,

I read Mr Fung’s letter with some concern regarding his analysis of the “mansion“ debate in Richmond. He asserts that “white folks“ embrace mansions as long as they are not constructed for “non-whites.” His examples of the Hearst Castle and the Buble mansion in Burnaby being embraced by “white folks” are flawed. The controversial Hearst Castle is on virtually uninhabited land on the coast of California, and the 27,000 sq. ft. Buble mansion in Burnaby was, and is, the subject of significant neighbourhood wrath — well reported in the media. It is unclear if Mr Fung is referring to residential construction, or that being built on farmland. The “mansion“ debate in Richmond is centred on those that have been built on the ALR, many in excess of 20,000 sq ft. The concern of most residents was reflected in a Vancouver Sun poll where 78 per cent of respondents wanted further restrictions (currently 11,000 sq. ft.) on the size of farmland homes.

Richmond City staff saw the problem of attracting wealthy, mansion-loving nonfarmers to farmland and commissioned an independent report (Site Economics) that recommended Richmond adopt the BC Provincial guidelines — a 5,300 sq ft. maximum.

This was ﬁercely opposed by a majority of Richmond councillors, many Richmond farmers, local realtors and developers. They covered the ethnic spectrum. Six ethnically diverse Richmond councillors caved to their well orchestrated campaign and election support . They “compromised“ with a limit of 11,000 sq ft mansions. The result: Continuing speculation on farmland which now sells for up to $1 million per acre, which is strictly mansion appeal, and out of the reach of any potential farming enterprise. To suggest the backlash on farmland mansions is race-based is to ignore the concern of Richmond citizens who do not want our farmland obliterated by pretentious non-farmer mansions.

John Baines RICHMOND

Dear Editor,

The recent adoption of the enhanced accessible parking bylaw will make a big difference to many wheelchair users that have vans with side loading ramps. In many cases the regular sized accessible parking spots didn’t leave enough room to allow the ramp to be safely deployed. The new ‘van accessible’ spots will give individuals that use a wheelchair and have a side loading ramp the room needed to enter and exit the van without being impeded by another vehicle parked too close. We hope that those who have an accessible parking placard but do not use a wheelchair will respect these spots and leave them for the individuals they are intended for. Thank you to the the RCD and City of Richmond for recognizing this worthy need and taking steps to address it in a meaningful way.

Glutton for punishment? Dear Editor, Re: “Mayoral candidate Hong Guo faces new legal allegations,” News, Sept. 20. Unless their last name is Trump, it is beyond me why anyone would run for public office while they are under investigation for something as serious as the allegations facing Hong Guo. Unless she is a glutton for punishment, I cannot understand why she would subject herself to the ridicule and questioning that undoubtedly comes with being asked to explain her loss of control of her trust account while asking us to elect her to a position for which she has no experience or qualifications. Why should we trust her to be any better at running our city than she is at running her law practice? Also, I do not appreciate the unauthorized placement of her campaign sign on the lawn of the vacant home into which my family is moving next week. If she would like it back she can pick it up at the landfill.

A veterinarian attends to a horse’s wounds following a vicious attack by pit bulls in McDonald Park on Sept. 23. Daisy Xiong photo

Dog owner ﬁned after horse attack Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

www.riverrock.com 8811 River Road, Richmond B.C

The owner of two unlicensed pit bulls was ﬁned by the City of Richmond after the dogs attacked two horses in an onleash area in McDonald Park. A Richmond resident, who asked not to be named due to safety concerns, told the Richmond News she and her daughter were horse riding along the dyke trail in the park on Sept. 23, when their horses passed two “unleashed, unmuzzled, collared, adult dogs of pit bull type.” The horses, who are “very experienced with dogs” according to their owners, stopped when the two dogs came close and started barking and circling. “My daughter’s horse moved her feet in place and it was like a trigger for the grey dog to attack,” recalled the horse owner.

“The dog kept returning to attack, while the second dog continued barking and getting in the way...The owner was clearly physically incapable of catching or holding onto this big dog.”

Due to a fear of falling off, the daughter jumped off her horse, which then ran off with dogs following the horse. The dogs returned minutes after and were leashed by the woman walking them. The horse that ran off made it safely to its barn but had six bites from the attack – four requiring stitches and “a deep abdominal bite, piercing the muscle needing placement of a (surgical) drain,” said the horse owner. The other horse had two bites, one “with the ﬂesh shaken loose from its underlying muscle creating a large pocket which also required a (surgical) drain.” The horse owner said she is concerned by the “unprovoked and persistent nature” of the attack and its potential 8 to repeat.

Houses and subsequent marriages

In The Times Herald-Record, a New York publication, an Attorney (Ms. Bonnie Kraham) earlier this week wrote an article about some issues that arise with homes in subsequent marriages. The issues are similar in B.C. The question first arises where the couple will live. If one of them owns a house and the other spouse moves in, the owner typically wants to allow for her or his children to have the house after she or he dies. But if the owner is survived by the spouse, she or he may want the surviving spouse to live in it for a time, or until the spouse dies. There is also the question of who should pay for the home maintenance (that should go in the Will). Also, the spouse may want to allow the surviving spouse to sell the home and buy a substitute home which is perhaps smaller and easier (and less expensive) to maintain. In addition, a full life interest to a surviving spouse denies the children their inheritance for potentially a long time, so a partial life interest may be more appropriate. These issues arise regularly in B.C. and so couples need to address them in some way, at least in their Wills, if not in a pre-nuptial agreement (or both).

A city where our children can afford to live in, go to school in, find a job in and raise their children in, rich in opportunities and culture. A city that is safe, a city that we can easily move around in, a city that our children and grandchildren can be proud of. This is my dream for Richmond, and the inspiration behind my campaign.

Pit bulls must be muzzled

“I feel this attack could have been worse, with human injury a strong possibility,” she said. Its [the dog’s] calmness on returning seemed almost like it found the experience a game.” The horse owner said she phoned the woman’s son, the dog owner, who “aggressively” denied responsibility and refused to pay for the vet bills. “He said he would muzzle me before muzzling his dogs,” said the horse owner. “I am concerned about this dog owner’s attitude, in that he did not take responsibility for his pets’ behaviour nor did he agree to ameliorate future risk.” The City of Richmond said it is aware of the incident and has issued the dog owner tickets totalling $1,200. “Horses are allowed on this trail...these dogs were unlicensed and were running off-leash in an on-leash area,” said Ted Townsend, spokesperson for the city. “Having conﬁrmed that the two dogs involved are pit bulls, we have informed the owner of the City of Richmond bylaw requirement that (pit bulls) are to be muzzled and leashed at all times when in public, including in off-leash areas.

Candidates square off Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Minoru Place Activity Centre was packed Tuesday night with around 300 people attending Richmond’s ﬁrst all-candidates meeting. Five mayoral candidates and 25 council candidates were in attendance at the meeting hosted by the Richmond Centre for Disability, the Richmond Poverty Response Committee and the Kehila Society. Issues such as affordable housing, mega homes on ALR, housing for the homeless, transportation, and community division topped the discussion list. The atmosphere became tense when council candidate Adil Awan said incumbent Bill McNulty had been quoted saying he was concerned about developers’ bottom line in the media. Awan asked if council is more worried about developers than everyday citizens. “Housing affordability has been a problem for a long time. Have they (council) been sleeping? Let’s vote in a different council,” said Awan, who received an enthusiastic response from the audience. Incumbent Derek Dang, a developer, was asked why real estate developers should be on city council, describing it as “letting a wolf be in charge of the sheep.” “I think the accusation was put out by the RCA (Richmond Citizens’ Association) group, implying that the city council is under the thumb of evil lobbyists and developers,” he said. “When you look at Richmond at

Around 300 people attended Richmond’s first all-candidates meeting Tuesday night, when five mayoral candidates and 25 council candidates shared their opinion on city issues. Daisy Xiong photo large, do you see a problem with Richmond? There has been nothing that’s been underhanded. That implication is just wrong.” However, Kelly Greene, from RCA, responded that if elected, she would like to have a “conflict of interest” law, an independent officer overseeing the new rules and a lobbyist registry to keep lobbyists on record. Some incumbents emphasized the city’s Affordable Housing Strategy, which in the past 10 years has created 1,500 affordable rental units, with plans to build more. Mellisa Zhang endorsed the city’s plan to densify city centre area so ”more affordable units are built,” but Niti Sharma said it only produces ”unaffordable density.” Independent council candidate John Roston said the city should be more creative and take advantage of NDP government’s various funding programs for building affordable housing. Judie Schneider, meanwhile, sug-

gestted the city incentivize home renovation rather than demolishing. Mega houses on farmland was also a concern for audience members. Incumbent Alexa Loo was asked why she voted to keep the current maximum sizes of houses on ALR along with other ﬁve councillors in May. “When I got on council, we stopped the 20,000 sq. ft. houses. We had nothing and now we have something. The size, 10,700 sq. ft., was chosen after a lot of consultation. It’s a start,” said Loo. Someone then asked incumbent Harold Steves, who said he was “appalled” by the mansions on Richmond’s farmland, to explain “how come your ALR property was developed for four mega homes?” Steves responded, “the houses were built on my brother’s land, not mine. I’m not my brother’s keeper.” The mayoral candidates’ meeting was also heated when Hong Guo was questioned about an association listed in her application docu-

ment that is allegedly to “establish a platform to network and connect with Chinese communities.” “Whoever is elected as Richmond mayor is expected to work for everybody, not one group. Can you be justiﬁed with this approach?” asked an audience member. Guo, however, said she doesn’t recognize the name of this association and she “would like to represent everybody in the community and build it with everybody.“ When Malcolm Brodie and mayoral candidate Cliff Wei were asked if they will endorse an empty homes tax like in Vancouver, as some council candidates have proposed, both of them answered “no.” “The Province has only allowed Vancouver to implement such a tax... Richmond doesn’t have the jurisdiction to do it…And I believe this tax is unenforceable and undeﬁnable,” said Brodie. Wei said “this tax will only make homeowners painful.“

Oval café showed signs of rodents Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

The O-Café at the Richmond Oval has been allowed to reopen after a health inspection last week found signs of rodents. Vancouver Coastal Health, which inspects all restaurants and food facilities in the health region, posted a Sept. 25 inspection report online that noted the premises had signs of rodent activity. Matt Kieltyka, a spokesperson for VCH, conﬁrmed the health authority ordered the café closed that day. Kieltyka said that restaurants and cafés need to ensure all infractions have been corrected before they’re allowed to reopen.

These candidates have a track record of financial responsibility. Vote for candidates with the vision and experience to keep our taxes low!

In a couple of weeks, Hartwell will turn the key on the Candy Dish in Steveston for the last time, signaling the end to another little piece of the village. The Moncton Street store, in its current guise, has been there for almost eight years after morphing from the Candy Bouquet, which had a good 12 years before it under its previous owner.

However, Hartwell — who pretty much ran the business herself, with a little help from her husband, Ed Whitby — cited a number of factors all coming together to force her hand.

Hitting retirement age recently, current three-year lease ending, a drop in sales after TV show Once Upon a Time (OUAT) stopped ﬁlming in Steveston and being unable to sell the business were enough to convince her it was time to call it a day. “It has been fun watching the little ones grow up and I’ll miss that,” Hartwell told the Richmond News. “We don’t have our own children; I really enjoyed them coming in. They’ve been coming in recently and buying the jars; they’re going to take them home and decorate them. “I think of the elderly people, as well. A lot of them come over from The Maple Residences. They like to chat and it’s nice to have a chat with them. “I think they’ll be sorry to see us go. They really identify with the old sweet 13 shops. They all come in with a

story of where they got their candy and it was usually a corner store.

“No one ever came into the store in a bad mood and if they did, they smell the candy and are instantly in a good place.” Hartwell, however, said she’s “really glad” she did it. “I fulﬁlled my dream (to own a candy store). Now I’m ready to move on. I hope, some day, the kids that have been coming in here remember their store growing up was the Candy Dish.”

Let’s talk about the REAL Issues:

Steveston resident Hartwell recalled taking over from the former Candy Bouquet on Halloween night in 2010, after working as a tour guide for about 25 years, trailing through The Rockies and up to Alaska. “When you first start, you’re really enthusiastic and we got very well known for our home-made fudge,” she said. “(OUAT) was great for many years, but I’ve noticed a dropoff since they stopped filming this year. They were filming the entire time I was open. “I would say a good 10,000 people came through this store in connection with the show.” While promoting her OUATthemed fudges and candy, Hartwell, via a $2 donation for a OUAT brochure, managed to raise more than $6,000 for the Richmond Food Bank and other local charities, noting that around 20 per cent of her business likely came from the ABC show being set in the village.

I still have an old cash register...we’re very mom and pop. We’re a dying breed.

“We sold a lot of Snow White Fudge!” she laughed.

SHIRLEY HARTWELL

The proliferation over the years of stores such as Bulk Barn — and supermarkets having bulk candy — put local candy stores, such as the Candy Dish, on borrowed time, added Hartwell. “Markets change and with social media now, which I’m not good at, it’s even tougher. If I was good at that, maybe things would be better. “I still have an old cash register; we’re very mom and pop. We are a dying breed. “We tried to sell the business for a year, but nobody wanted to buy it. Not one bit of interest.” Now, as well as the candy, she’s selling off all the candy dishes as a little bit of memorabilia for the kids. “The candy will hopefully just sell out,” she added.

Affordable Housing Richmond families are being forced out of our City by high home prices. We need housing options that keep families together in the community they grew up in. These candidates will act in a positive way to create the kind of housing that our community needs. These candidates have the vision and experience to deliver affordable housing for our residents!

“We’re going to have a kids day somewhere in the next week or two and we’re going to rafﬂe off the giant swirl lollipop.” Hartwell said she likely won’t see out the full last month of her lease, indicating that any leftover candy will go to the food bank. As for what might replace the Candy Dish, Hartwell isn’t sure, although she know it’s offshore, Chinese investors that own the whole block. “They were in here measuring up recently with prospective tenants,” she said. In the meantime, Hartwell is looking forward to retirement with her husband, taking a cruise, volunteering in the community and perhaps putting on her old tour guide hat once more. “(The tour operators) keep on phoning me, so I might do that part-time.”

CANNABIS CONCERNS DISPELLED School board story at Richmond-News.com

Candidates form ‘Parents’ Slate’ many Richmond parents who have big concerns that parental rights have become an extinguished species in public school education,” said Lee, a barrister and former mayoral candidate.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Just 20 days before the municipal election, ﬁve trustee candidates have formed a new force named “Parents’ Slate.” Richard Lee, Charvine Adl, Andrea Gong-Quinn, Ivan Pak and James Li announced the new slate Monday. “We joined together for one reason — we heard from

“Without parental involvement, there will be no school system as you know today. We are running together to make sure we put parents back into the school system and so that parents are not marginalized.” The slate announced ﬁve key issues of focus: promoting parental rights, reviewing the SOGI policy, supporting academ-

ic education, no marijuana in schools and seismic upgrades. “We in the Parents’ Slate strongly disagree with SOGI,” said Ivan Pak, an IT consultant. Pak and Li decided to run as a trustee shortly after Richmond’s school board passed the SOGi policy. “If we are elected, we will have the SOGI policy reviewed; we will have SOGI 123 be evaluated independently.” The slate said it will also work on ensuring that all Richmond schools are “marijuana free” after legalization.

These brothers like to explore their cage so daily spot cleaning is a must. They wheek loudly whenever they hear us rustling a bag of vegetables but keep in mind that vegetables are to be given in moderate amounts. Their main diet consists of Timothy hay, pellets and water. Guinea pigs live on average of 5-8 years and their teeth grow continuously so they need lots of hay and wooden toys to chew on to wear down their teeth.

They will actively address our traffic issues, aren’t beholden to the NDP and will press them to get moving on replacing the Massey Tunnel.

Regardless, Li, a travel agent, said they will work together, ”so children understand that consuming marijuana will damage their brain development.” Charvine Adl, a chartered accountant, accused Richmond schools of being slack on academic education, which he said undermines students’ university potential. “When I say academic education, I mean primarily English, mathematics and science. These are three things children need to study to get into university,” said Adl.

He said when his daughter and his friend’s child changed schools, they were evaluated as being one to two years behind in mathematics. “Why is it happening? One of the reasons is that teachers are asked to do too much. And now they add SOGI education. We want to empower teachers to focus on academic subjects.” The Parents’ Slate has also expressed their willingness to build city centre schools and initiate seismic upgrade projects if elected. “If we are elected, we want to work with the province and say that Richmond needs both. We need city centre school in two years, and seismic upgrades as soon as possible,” said Gong-Quinn, a realtor and business owner.

We also asked them to tell us why they were running for mayor/council/ trustee and list key issues they would focus on, if elected. In this edition, we feature the mayoral and council candidates.

Check out our special two-page chart on 22 and 23, where candidates were asked to answer yes or no to 20 election-related questions. Next week, we will have the school trustee candidates.

Three key issues you would focus on if elected: 1) Affordable housing – We need to support housing in our community so people of all ages and economic means live here. Our Affordable Housing Strategy adopted 10 years ago and updated this year, supplemented by the Market Rental Housing Policy, allows the city to work with the development industry to create housing opportunities for all. 2) Trafﬁc congestion – Extending alternate forms of transit will assist in encouraging people to get out of their cars, thus reducing congestion and GHGs. The city should supplement alternate forms of travel including bike paths and buses. In consultation with the city, the B.C. government should upgrade and twin the tunnel to reduce congestion on Highway 99. 3) Agricultural land – There is limited high quality agricultural land available in Richmond and throughout B.C. Steps need to be taken for its preservation, such as restricting the proliferation and size of estate homes in order to support agriculture. Local government needs to work with the ALC to protect this vital resource.

Why are you running for ofﬁce: I am

Why are you running for ofﬁce: The taxpayers are not being heard by the current council, and I want more accountability at city hall.

running for mayor because I want to build bridges that help to bring city hall closer to our neighbourhoods, and foster better understanding and connection between all of our residents.

Three key issues you would focus on if elected:

1) Protecting the Agricultural Land Reserve by seeking a ministerial order applicable to megahomes for Richmond and implement the B.C. government’s review results.

1) Affordability is critical to building a city where our children can raise their families. We need to look at all options to increasing supply from streamlining approvals to increasing the level of social and affordable housing. We need to create options that help Richmond families and their children to remain in Richmond.

2) Providing affordable housing and commercial space by allowing the younger citizens to move into home-equity housing rather than renting, and establishing commercial zoning near City Centre for the convenience of those needing services and those employed there.

2) We need to get to work replacing the Massey Tunnel. Richmond has some of the worst rush hour trafﬁc congestion in the region. Richmond needs a mayor who will speak up for the city at regional bodies and build alliances with likeminded communities.

3) Open and accountable governance that properly informs the public of its activities of this council of the true costs of the Olympic Oval, ROX, its former private operation (VROX Sport Simulation Ltd), and Lulu Island Energy Company. These Richmond-owned companies are all operated by city staff and rely on city taxpayers’ funding to exist. The city has transferred $25 million in our hard assets into Lulu Island Energy for paper shares.

3) The RCMP is not equipped for the type of urban policing required in a diverse city like Richmond. We need to move toward a city police force that reﬂects the city as a whole.

ELECTION4MAYOR Name: Cliff Wei

Party: Independent

Name: Roy Sakata Party: Independent Occupation: Retired Richmond school principal and B.C. Independent School Inspector’s Office Educational Consultant Why are you running for office: Richmond media reports and personal discussions with community members show that Richmond citizens want more meaningful involvement in city council decisions. Three key issues you would focus on if elected: 1) Lack of meaningful process for citizen involvement in city council decisions: My solution: In the first 100 days as mayor, I will work with senior management, staff and a citizens’ advisory committee and conduct comprehensive community forums. 2) Majority decision making at Richmond city council meetings. My solution: Have city council change decision making from a win/ lose voting system to a consensus model that considers citizens’ forum views and council members more reflective thoughts. 3) Traffic congestion in Richmond City and in the Massey Tunnel. My solution: Collaborate with provincial and federal governments to increase bus services, enhance the SkyTrain carrying capacity and negotiate a daily, passenger ferry fleet between Steveston and Ladner.

• • • •

Occupation: Public policy consulting Why are you running for ofﬁce:

Promptly promising to offer all kinds of welfare will not guarantee people needed level of well-being. Encouraging everyone to work and join efforts together will surely improve our life in a long run. Running for mayor, is to perform this principle, to make sure our public resources are being used fairly and efﬁciently.

MAYORAL AND CITY COUNCIL HOPEFULS WERE ASKED BY THE NEWS FOR A YES OR NO ANSWER TO QUESTIONS THAT AFFECT THE EVERYDAY LIVES OF RICHMONDITES One of the biggest challenges for voters in a civic election with a total of 62 candidates running for everything from mayor, council and school trustee is determining just where candidates stand on various issues. To that end, the Richmond News has asked our six mayoral and 26 council candidates 20 yes-or-no questions. Our belief is that while candidates may pledge support for business, the environment, transportation, development and agriculture, ultimately they are going to have to come down on one side or the other on some very specific questions. The purpose of this exercise is to help residents see how candidates would vote on some of those questions, enabling voters to better understand which candidates best represent their values and vision for Richmond.

RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

ELECTION4COUNCIL Name: Chak Au

Party: Richmond Community Coalition Occupation: Family therapist Why are you running for ofﬁce:

It has always been working towards building a harmonious community in Richmond.

Three key issues in this election: 1) Traffic: Improve the traffic flow in the City Centre area. There are too many traffic lights along No. 3 Road. We must make use of the proposed redevelopments of two major malls to improve traffic patterns in the surrounding areas. We can use new traffic technology to speed flow. Also, I urge the provincial government to make a quick decision on the Massey Tunnel replacement, a new bridge or tunnel. 2) Housing: With the rental vacancy rate at 0.6 per cent in Richmond, we must increase the supply of affordable rental units. I support rental-only zoning. Illegal short-term rentals must be stopped. I also support “gentle density” to create smaller, more affordable home options. 3) Public safety: Working to shorten police response times in high-crime areas is a priority. I continue to support neighbourhood safety initiatives for crime prevention. We should upgrade training and equipment of emergency services so they can do their jobs more effectively.

Name: Derek Dang Party: Richmond First Occupation: City councillor/Property management Why are you running for office: I’ve made a commitment to be a positive asset to the community that has provided much to my family. I’ve lived in Richmond my entire life. I went to school from Kindergarten to Grade 12 and I went to UBC majoring in political science. My family ran a corner grocery store, Blundell Rd Grocery, from 1963 to 1992. My uncle, Ed Dang, ran Island Grocery at #1 and Williams for decades. My brother, sisters and I helped out from an early age. My wife, Margaret, works at Richmond Hospital as a physician and my kids, Natalie and Zachary are students Burnett High School. Three key issues in this election: I would focus on housing affordability/availability, community safety and transportation. We need to establish incentives for new development of rental housing. Supporting Temporary Housing is a huge step for Richmond. Keeping our police and firefighters properly resourced is important. Continuing our collaboration with TransLink and the province to enable seamless travel is also necessary.

Name: Adil Awan

Name: Parm Bains

Party: Independent

Party: Richmond Community Coalition

Occupation: Air transport pilot Why are you running for ofﬁce: I

want to be the independent voice dedicated to bringing your voice back to city council. Since emigrating from Uganda in 1974, my family and I have called Richmond home. Currently, I am employed as an air transport pilot based at YVR. I am running independently in order to bring “the voice of the people to city hall and exclusively answer to the residents of Richmond” without being tied to speciﬁc party interests.

Key issues in this election: Mega mansions on farmland: The Ministry of Agriculture guidelines is a max of 5,382 square feet with an option to build a second home for farm workers or family that work on the farm which can be 3,339 sq. ft. I will advocate in limiting house sizes to 5,382 sq. ft. Affordable housing: I will work with all levels of government to explore different options such as a vacancy tax, laneway houses, coach houses, smaller lots for smaller houses. We need to be proactive when it comes to housing, and I will negotiate stronger deals with developers to ensure our housing needs are met.

Name: Carol Day Party: RITE Occupation: City councillor Why are you running for office: I love working hard for my community. Giving back to the people of Richmond is the most rewarding experience of my life. My first term as a councillor has been very active. I’ve worked to end the problems with land use contracts and with mega mansions. They transfer value from ALR farmland to speculators. They harm our food security. I’ve also worked for smarter growth, Massey crossing renewal and a modular housing approach that balances concerns. Key issues in this election: Value farmland ahead of speculators and their council buddies; Create a strong code of ethics for Richmond council; Curb casino-related criminal activity; Support police and firefighters; Address ways that birth tourism is unfair to our community; Investigate a vacancy tax; Make affordable housing a priority; Establish a renters’ advisory committee; Set up a user-friendly online record of council voting.

Name: Andy Chiang Party: Independent

Occupation: Account manager

Occupation: Instructor, Kwantlen Polytechnic University Why are you running for ofﬁce: Passionate about keeping families together and stopping young professionals from leaving the city. Three key issues in this election: 1) Affordable homes: Introduce a Gentle Density Plan to get away from big home development and create smaller, more affordable homes around our neighbourhood schools for working families and young professionals. 2) Transportation infrastructure: Improvements along Steveston Highway corridor and support for a forwardlooking George Massey Tunnel crossing bridge, which would include HOV lanes, pedestrian walk-ways, bike lanes and a SkyTrain line for future implementation. 3) Tax burden: Stop continued tax hikes, perform an external value for dollar audit and return savings to taxpayers.

ELECTION 2018

Why are you running for ofﬁce: To build a better Richmond by working together on its key issues.

Three key issues in this election: 1) Vehicle and trafﬁc safety: increased RCMP presence, driver re-education, marketing campaigns for standing issues, re-painting lines, parking space sizes, deeper analysis of trafﬁc signal times, illuminated pedestrian crosswalks, etc. 2) Sense of community: more community events to showcase local goods like farm markets, public art displays, family friendly events throughout the year, increased cultural celebrations and awareness, etc. 3) Maintaining and improving Richmond’s pillars: Commerce, education and housing - saving and preserving agricultural land, increasing awareness on the importance of agriculture, increasing local commercial presence in growing housing communities, save our schools from vanishing.

Name: Kelly Greene Party: Richmond Citizens Association Occupation: Community advocate Why are you running for office: I am running because the status quo is hurting our city. We need leadership that will ensure our city is strong 30 years from now. Three key issues in this election: 1) Farmland: House size must be reduced from the current 10,764 square feet (plus second house of 3,230 sq. ft. on larger parcels) to the provincial maximum to keep speculators off our farmland. The only councillors who voted to reduce house size were Day and Steves. 2) Housing: Affordable housing for families and seniors is lagging well behind the need for it. When construction of luxury mansions and one bedroom condos is prioritized, we are hurting our community. 3) Integrity and accountability: Conflict of interest laws need to be strengthened and renewed so that voters can have confidence in their elected officials. Specifically, we need a lobbyist registry, an independent officer to provide oversight and investigate complaints, and a more robust declaration of business interests.

Name: Theresa Head Party: Independent Occupation: Work from home (part-time) Why are you are running for ofﬁce: I was born and raised in Newfoundland, and moved out to Richmond BC 1995 from the USA where I served a mission for my church. I have seven sisters and three brothers, three of us girls were born with a disability. I have been fortunate to be living in BC Housing for the past twentyone years, great location and easy access to public transit. Key issues in this election: In November 2017 I took part in a round table discussion about people living in poverty and in January a group of us formed (Richmond Advocate Support Committee). We speak up for those of our 120 homeless living on the streets in Richmond without a home. Let’s start by changing out attitude and get to work and make life better for those that need it most. As city councillor I would promote compassion and action for our people who are homeless and sleeping on our streets in Richmond. Homelessness happens for many reasons including sickness, layoff or high rents. An attitude shift begins with you and me.

ELECTION4COUNCIL Name: Jonathan Ho

Party: Richmond Community Coalition Occupation: Banker/school trustee Why are you running for office: We are so fortunate to live in this diverse and harmonious city. Giving back to the city that I called home after I emigrated from Hong Kong is my passion. Three key issues in this election: 1) Housing affordability: Paradoxically, no one wants the real estate market to fall sharply because it relates to many people’s wealth, retirement income, jobs, and many other economic activities. However, many young families have been driven away because they just couldn’t afford it. I advocate learning from some of the Asian success stories in handling this problem, such as the “Home Ownership Scheme“ of the British Colony Hong Kong and the subsidized units of Singapore‘s Housing Development Board (HDB). 2) Stop the tax hikes: Review the almost three per cent annual increase in property tax while the city sits on several hundreds of millions of dollars of reserve. 3) Keep traffic moving: Review the OCP and transportation supporting measures to alleviate the problem of traffic congestion.

Name: Sunny Ho

Name: Andy Hobbs

Name: Ken Johnston

Party: Richmond First

Party: Richmond Community Coalition

Occupation: Businessman

Occupation: Retired VPD Superintendent

Why are you running for ofﬁce: Enhancing Richmond to become a metropolitan city for business, working and living is Sunny’s goal to serve the residents of Richmond by joining the municipal election as a candidate for city councillor in October 2018.

Why are you running for office: Andy is a retired Vancouver Police Superintendent with over 35 years of policing experience. He grew up in Richmond and graduated from Richmond High and UBC. Andy and Lynn, married since 1982, have three children and have welcomed their first grandchild. Andy is a decorated police officer and was inducted into the Order of Merit of the Police Forces by the Governor General of Canada and received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for community service.

Key issues in this election: Sunny is pursuing his goals to build a prosperous Richmond by: 1. Building and operating an affordable dental centre to serve to the residents of Richmond, especially the senior citizens. 2. Establishing a Traditional Chinese Medicine Department in Richmond Hospital. 3. Building 400 units of affordable housing in Richmond within three years. 4. Training and assisting local workers and newcomers for resolving the shortage of labour in the hotel and restaurant businesses in Richmond 5. Establishing a new university in Richmond. If I am elected, community safety, affordable housing and trafﬁc are my priorities to do.

City of Richmond

Occupation: Councillor

Andy believes in public service and wants to help Richmond to be safe and liveable. His volunteer work includes the Richmond School Board (2002-2008), Richmond Kigoos Swim Club and the Richmond Community Foundation. Currently, he’s a director, Tourism Richmond Board, member of the Richmond Intercultural Advisory Committee, Britannia Heritage Shipyard Society (Chair), Steveston Salmon Festival Committee and the Richmond Hospital Foundation’s Stakeholders’ Relations Committee. Andy strongly supports saving farmland (his granddaughter is a ﬁfth generation farmer), building liveable housing options and community safety. Andy brings signiﬁcant experience and a new voice to city council.

Why are you running for office: I care about our community and want to contribute to making it even greater. Three key issues in this election: 1) Affordability 2) Transportation 3) Environment We need to work with the housing industry and senior government to develop more rental housing. We need to look at forms of gentle density so that young families can afford to live in neighbourhoods close to schools and community services. Smaller homes on large lots. We need to expedite improving the road network in our downtown core to develop better flow. Living in the No. 5 and Steveston area I am reminded daily we need an immediate solution to the Massey Tunnel fiasco. Also, quicker addition of Canada Line capacity. I ran a company recognized by the Richmond Chamber with the “Green Business of the Year Award” so I support the commitment to be a leader in sustainable practices including water quality, district energy delivery, solar power and green fleet. I want to enhance our parks and dykes.

ELECTION4COUNCIL Name: Peter Liu

Party: Richmond First Occupation: Business management Peter Liu, a leader in technology and entrepreneurship, will strengthen Richmond’s excellent business climate. The reasons I am running for Richmond council is because I am conﬁdent that my range of business experience can add to the strength of experience around the council table. I was born in Tianjin, China, and came to Canada with my wife and daughter in 2002. Our son was born here. We settled in Richmond right away. In China, I was an exporter-importer with a commodities trading company. In Canada, I’ve been involved with a number of businesses and I’m an investment advisor who helps facilitate deals in oil, gas and technology. I also export B.C. wines to China. I’m also a founding member of 1029 Café, a super-innovative incubator for entrepreneurship that merges Asian and North American expertise to generate business and jobs in Richmond. I believe that the new council should have experience, vision and leadership to deliver a better Richmond.

Name: Alexa Loo

Name: Bill McNulty

Name: Linda McPhail

Party: Independent

Party: Richmond First

Why are you running for office: I’m running for council to continue the work to make Richmond the most livable city where people are happy, healthy and feel a sense of connection to each other and to nature. Three key issues in this election: 1) Improving affordability by ensuring the right incentives are in place to get more built rental stock. Continuing to require built affordable housing from development projects and built childcare spaces that support families. 2) Our parks, recreation facilities and community centres give us spaces to come together. I will continue to advocate for these as well as for better transit, safer bike lanes, and better road connections so that we can get to these places. I will advocate for greener transportation options and reducing congestion. 3) I will continue to fight for safety and security: ensuring that we have enough firehalls, trucks and firefighters to respond to our growing population, and ensuring that we have enough police to keep us secure, and working to get the traffic cameras installed in our intersections.

Occupation: City councillor

Why are you running for ofﬁce: I am running for council to advocate for a safe, healthy, progressive, family-oriented city, working on behalf of the citizens of Richmond.

Why are you running for ofﬁce: As a life-long resident, I truly love Richmond and believe I have the experience to be effective in keeping Richmond a great place to live, work and raise a family.

Key issues in this election: I will focus on community safety, keeping Richmond one of the safest communities in Canada. As our city grows and evolves, we need to continue to budget for, and add to the number of police officers every year. Richmond needs to increase its fire-rescue complement of on-duty staffing in order to improve response capabilities. I am advocating for an increase in all necessary resources to keep Richmond safe. Richmond needs all forms of rental housing which include low market rental, market rental, and seniors housing. I have initiated an affordable housing strategy that requires developers to put legal secondary suites in rezoned properties. I will explore incentives and partnerships to encourage governments and developers to build more affordable housing and increase rental stock. We also need to explore other forms of building options to meet the needs of the community.

Key issues in this election: Community safety: Adding to Richmond Fire-Rescue stafﬁng to meet the population growth and change. Keep emergency preparedness planning a priority. It is vitally important to have plans and programs in place for an effective response in the event of a major emergency. Transportation: Strategies to ease the passenger crunch on the Canada Line at peak times and better local access to routes to and from the line. Adding to cycling network and adapting transportation infrastructure to meet the accessibility needs of the community is also important. Continue advocating for a cost-effective, sustainable solution for the George Massey Tunnel replacement. Affordable Housing: Continue with strategies that provide for a healthy mix of housing options.

ELECTION4COUNCIL Name: Dennis Page

Name: John Roston

Party: Independent

Occupation: Digital media production Why are you running for ofﬁce: The attitudes, opinions, and balance of power in Richmond has remained unchanged for nearly 20 years – and on the hotbutton issues, I ﬁnd I’ve disagreed with most of council’s choices. Three key issues in this election: 1) Embrace the multi-billion dollar legal cannabis industry, and create more than just jobs — create professional careers and allow our college grads a chance at stability and potential home ownership. 2) Fund and empower our law enforcement so they have the tools to combat the changing nature of crime in our neighbourhoods. No longer will they be safe havens for criminals. 3) Weed out corruption and exploitation of our neighbourhoods. I will not sit back and let our neighbourhoods be used as a commodity, and watch as families are replaced by those looking for to create anchor babies, houses turned into bunk homes for foreign temporary workers and dormitories for international students. Our current councillors have had nearly 20 years to get it right – and have failed.

Occupation: Consultant; retired McGill adjunct professor Why are you running for ofﬁce: We need action on urgent issues based on facts and principles, rather than current council’s inaction based on politics. Key issues in this election: Affordable housing, protecting farmland and neighbourhood safety. Council has done little about the housing crisis. Families, seniors with health problems, millennials who must share with roommates and those working from home need affordable multi-bedroom rental units. The supply hasn’t increased rapidly enough to reduce rental rates. Developers prefer to build one-bedroom units that are more attractive to investors and often remain vacant. Council only requires 40 per cent multi-bedroom units in new developments. It should be 80 per cent. Council is covering up the most fertile farmland in B.C. with mega mansions, taking entire farms out of production which only beneﬁts wealthy investors and farmland owners who make millions. After council ignored our numerous presentations, we successfully met with the Agriculture Minister and Green Party Leader to urge provincial action.

ELECTION 2018 Watch for trustee candidate bios in next week’s issue of the Richmond News

Name: Judie Schneider

Trustees gear up for meeting

Party: Richmond Citizens Association Occupation: Mother/ assistant at an independent business

With less than three weeks until the municipal election, and advanced polls opening on Saturday, school trustee candidates have responded to a questionnaire about their views on some contentious topics.

Why are you running for ofﬁce: Richmond’s livability and affordability are in jeopardy. Our perfect mixture of urban amenities, farmland and riverfront community space are now threatened by decision makers who care more about developers’ demands than the needs and wants of the rest of the citizens.

Put together by the Richmond Teachers’ Association (RTA), the survey asks candidates to state if they support the implementation of the newly passed sexual orientation and gender identity policy (SOGI) with a simple “yes” or “no.” Eighteen candidates responded “yes,” ﬁve said “no,” and three didn’t respond.

Three key issues in this election: 1) Lowering ALR house size limits: Richmond has some of the best soil for growing food to feed our province. When house size on farmland exceeds the limits on neighbouring residential properties, our farmland becomes threatened by speculation.

Other topics covered in the survey included diversity, challenges facing the school district, the collective agreement with teachers and recruitment. For these questions, candidates were given the opportunity to expand on their positions.

2) Incentivizing renovations of single family homes: Housing unaffordability, low rental vacancy rates, fractured neighbourhoods, low school enrolment, constant construction, environmental damage, loss of trees and loss of architectural history are all consequences of uncontrolled, rampant demolition and could be mitigated by forward-thinking measures.

Following the survey’s release, the RTA is hosting an all-candidates meeting on Thursday, Oct. 4 from 6:30-9:30 p.m, at Burnett secondary. The full survey is at RichmondNews.com/election-2018. Name: Patrick Saunders Party: Independent

3) Updating conﬂict of interest rules/creating a lobbyist registry: City councillors should not be Richmond developers.

Party: RITE

Party: Independent

Occupation: Part-time writing teacher Why are you running for ofﬁce: Richmond’s current building trends are eroding affordability and I would like to see policies and bylaws in the city that contribute to building housing affordability and livability. I would also like to remind each of us that our individual choices affect others and this realization can help us make more sustainable and compassionate choices as a city. Key issues in this election: Housing affordability: Build co-op housing as co-ops connect housing costs to local incomes. Assemble an empty homes list and lobby for vacancy tax. Examine building norms to allow for co-existence between older and newer homes. Encourage developers to build more modest two and three bedroom homes and mix market housing with social housing. Protecting ALR for food production by reducing the size of farmland houses to the provincial guidelines.

ELECTION

at Richmond-News.com Name: Harold Steves Party: Richmond Citizens Association

Occupation: Instructor/President Step Alive Emergency Training Centre

Occupation: An active and dedicated community advocate and casual contract worker

Why are you running for ofﬁce: I am running for council to make the lives of Richmondites better by bringing the cost of living within the affordability range and build Richmond as the art and cultural capital of Canada.

Why are you running for ofﬁce: As a lifelong Richmond resident, for the past eight years I have endeavoured to encourage local, provincial and federal governments to amend policies that have unfavourably affected the lives of Richmond citizens.

Three key issues in this election: 1) Housing affordability: If elected my priority will be to ﬁrstly safeguard the farmlands for the farmers and establish ﬁrm guidelines for the land usage for the construction of three bedroom family houses that are affordable for couples. 2) Hospital: I would like to see expansion of Richmond Hospital so that wait times in ER are reduced and end the parking meters as they add insult to injury that the patients are already undergoing. 3) We need seniors’ centres for all communities supported by art, music and cultural events.

Create and adopt a new code of ethics for councillors to minimize conﬂict of interest issues around development and re-zoning.

A29

Occupation: Farmer Why are you running for ofﬁce: I’m a farmer and former teacher with a BSc in Agroecology and postgraduate certiﬁcate in Secondary Science and Art Education. As Richmond’s MLA in 1973, I was a main founder of the Agricultural Land Reserve, and have fought to preserve agricultural lands ever since. Three key issues in this election:

The current council has poorly handled the language problem and has ignored the birth tourism issue. After attending many council meetings I witnessed the current council favouring developers and big money and neglecting the opinions of the community.

1) I’m running again to continue protecting farmland, heritage and waterfront; developing parks and community facilities; planning energy alternatives and dyke improvements to compensate for climate change, and promoting affordable housing, public transit and food security to improve the lives of all Richmond citizens.

If I gain an elected position I will challenge policies and initiatives that negatively impact our lives and work in order to make Richmond an inclusive, progressive and healthy place to live and work.

2) Empty houses and illegal BnB’s are driving prices up. They must be taxed and the law enforced to make housing more affordable.

Three key issues in this election:

3) I’m appalled at the money laundering in our casino and real estate, and the recent approval of 10,724 sq. ft. mega-mansions in the ALR. 1,274 mega-mansions could be built in the ALR taking up 300 to 600 acres of farmland. I’m shocked that six members of council voted for them. There must be a change on council. Richmond’s future is threatened.

1) Language on signage 2) Illegal short term rentals 3) The exploitative practice of birth tourism These three issues are all related to the subsequent deterioration of the neighbourhoods and community.

Tony Chan, owner of Can-Trust-Funeral Ltd., gives support, advice and a personalized approach to grieving families. When he was a child, Tony Chan knew he wanted to help people when he grew up. Over the years, he worked in banking and as a chef, but found neither career fulfilling. Then after studying The BC Funeral Service Foundation program for Embalmer and Funeral Director, he found his true vocation: working as a funeral director, a profession he joined seven years ago. “I knew I could help vulnerable people by being compassionate, listening well and helping them navigate a new and confusing process,” he explains. In December 2017, he opened his own funeral home, Can-Trust-Funeral Ltd., to serve the Richmond community that he’s been a part of for the past 25 years. “I know this area and can help its people in a way big companies can’t,” he says. “I’m knowledgeable about what families need, have an extensive network including local suppliers, and can help organize funerals that are personalized,

straightforward and affordable.” Chan says one of his advantages over the big funeral homes is that he can provide all the items a family might need, such as caskets, urns, upright headstones, flat bronze markers and wreaths, at an affordable price, so they don’t need to deal with multiple vendors. He also delivers the personal touch – he meets loved ones at a location they choose, and is available 24/7. “I can speak Cantonese and Mandarin, which is very important in the Richmond community,” he says. “It’s especially an advantage for elderly people who might not speak good English. They need to feel like they are in control of the process of arranging their loved one’s funeral, and doing things through a translator can make that challenging.” Overall, Chan’s goal is to make this part of your life as straightforward as possible, allowing you to take things at your own pace, making sure you understand what’s happening, and ensuring that you have a service that honours your loved one. “Every funeral service is unique and personalized. You don’t have to follow a pattern. The only thing that matters is what suits you and honours the person who passed,” he says. Can-Trust-Funeral Ltd. is at #110-10791 No. 3 Rd Richmond (corner of No. 3 Rd and Steveston Hwy). To find out more, visit www. can-trust-funeral.com, or call 604-376-7975 any time, day or night.

ELECTION4COUNCIL Name: Michael Wolfe

Name: Henry Yao

Party: RITE

Occupation: Science teacher, Richmond School District

Occupation: Former constituency assistant; currently, campaigning full-time

Why are you running for ofﬁce: To provide voters with a local politician who represents the interests of citizens rather than corporations.

Why are you running for ofﬁce: From approving 10,764 square foot mansion on farmland to being unwilling to lobby for a vacancy tax to help combat rental affordability crisis, many councillors seem to be favouring special interests over Richmond’s needs. TMH debate and SOGI consultation showed special interests are using language barriers to sow confusion, suspicion and anger. We need councillors with the determination to ﬁght for Richmond and combat these divisive forces with cross-cultural communication, interaction and collaboration.

Three key issues in this election: 1) Planning with neighbours. I will meet directly with neighbourhoods before, during and after development permit projects, to witness the changes and provide leadership by immediately making motions to address the situation. I will do all that I can to bring better communication between our staff and residents; this includes creating a youth commission to provide youth-informed public policy. 2) Ending the practice of having proﬁtdriven local developers on council, who are responsible for mega-mansions on farmland.

Three key issues in this election: 1) Stop mega mansions on farmland; and address farmland speculation utilizing Richard Wozny’s report.

3) After completing graduate studies in education for sustainability, I will use Vancouver’s Greenest City Action Plan as a template to enact programs for our own departments. My students inspire me to be a life-long learner with the goal of better practices for sustainable city services, businesses, and residents.

Occupation: Financial advisor Why are you running for ofﬁce: To bridge between all of our communities and to bridge between our residents and local government.

Why are you running for ofﬁce: My name is Zhang Zhe, probably the last one on the ballot, but I am sure you will slowly realize I should be your top choice.

Three key issues in this election:

I am a Chinese immigrant with politics, IT and business background.

1) Traffic: Rapid population growth requires more efficient and well planned traffic system to bring people home faster. 2) Safety: Enhance block watch, offer more grant to encourage residents to take care of each other, organize seniors to help with crime prevention. 3) City development: Need a forward-looking plan to catch up with population growth and keep the uniqueness of our city.

2) Limit special interest inﬂuence on council and address conﬂict of interest involving councillors developing properties in Richmond.

Key issues in this election: My number one priority is housing affordability. My approach is to (1) tax certain people who own two or more properties, and transfer those taxes to renters, (2) tax the people who frequently buy and sell properties, especially pre-sale condos, use those taxes to subsidize the people who only own one home. Small business renters and foreign talents are also affected by housing crisis. To solve this issue, my plan is to use city ﬁnance to subsidize small business renters, and use birth tourism surcharges to attract and help foreign talents. For city planning, I oppose high density. There should be a large shopping mall at No 4 Road, and beautiful second Richmond downtown in Steveston.

3) Combat housing speculation and improve rental affordability by lobbying the provincial government for a fair vacancy tax.

In addition, I support social integration, community harmony and multiculturalism.

ELECTION 2018 More election news at Richmond-News.com

Young Richmondites urged to vote Several of the youngest Richmond candidates this municipal election are urging more Millennials and members of Generation Z to consider running for elected ofﬁce or, at the very least, voting. Kelly Greene, a council candidate with Richmond Citizens’ Association, considers herself an “old millennial” at 38. But she’s still passionate about getting young people, especially young women, involved in politics.

“I guess because [municipal elections are] not as high proﬁle, people tend to not really care about them,” McCutchen said. “But municipalities affect your everyday life from transit to garbage pickup.”

“The decisions that we’re making today are going to affect young people more than any other group in society,” she said.

She said students face barriers to voting, like not knowing when, where or how to vote—or if they’re able to vote at all. That’s why she’s helping run the education campaign. There are even laptops set up for students to register to vote and sign-up sheets where they write down their email and city so volunteers can email them a list of candidates in their area.

On Sept. 18, she attended the Forum on Millennial Leadership in Vancouver along with dozens of other young municipal candidates in the Lower Mainland.

McCutchen also said students may be less engaged in municipal politics because leaders aren’t talking about issues that are important to them.

Gavin Dew organized the conference to demonstrate that even tough young people are “drastically underrepresented” in all levels of government, they’re ready to lead.

At least one young Richmond candidate agrees. Andy Chiang, 34, is running independently for city council. He says protecting Richmond’s agricultural land has gotten a lot of attention this municipal election, but he doesn’t know if it’s a hot topic among young people.

“If there’s one message we hope candidates took home, it’s ‘you are not alone’ and ‘you can do this’,” Dew said. “It’s time for Millennials to stand up, step up and claim our place at the table.” Millennials are the generation that comes after Generation X but before Generation Z. They’re said to be born between the mid1980s and mid-1990s. Many members of Generation Z, those born in the late 1990s and in the new millennium, will be able to vote for the ﬁrst time on Oct. 20. At Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Richmond campus, Kwantlen Student Association president Caitlin McCutchen says they’re try-

Another issue pertinent to young people, many candidates agreed, was housing. “There’s an affordability crisis for both renters and homeowners,” said Henry Yao, a 39-year-old city council candidate with RITE Richmond. “Not every young person wants to live with their parents … but people are forced to … or move further away from the city.”

If you’re looking forward to getting stuck into a turkey dinner this Thanksgiving, but not the bulging waistline that results, then an event this weekend might be just the ticket.

Caroline To & Gary K. Louis PREC REC

The Richmond Olympic Parkrun is hosting its 100th free, weekly 5K event on Saturday, Oct. 6 along the Middle Arm Dyke Trail. Starting at 9 a.m., the run — which can also be jogged or walked, and with your kids and pets — sets off from near the Water Drop statue on the dyke, close to Cambie Road. The sign-posted route meanders its way a short distance past the Olympic Oval before looping back to where it started. “We average about 50-60 runners, but you can also walk, jog, bring your kids and your pets, and some people do,” said Becky Maybury, event director. “It would be great to get about 80 to 90 and fabulous if we hit the 100-mark, given this is our 100th event. “We’re also going to have a free rafﬂe beforehand for a pair of Saucony runners and

SINFULLY THE BEST MODERN FAIRY TALE

A long time ago in a village ffar far ar aw away (w (well actually, 8 years isn’t that long ago and Ste Steveston Village isn’t particularly far away)... ay)... A blinding flash of light occurred in a primordial vacuum (cue symphonic flourish, imor ish, complete with bassoons and trumpets). Actually, it was more a metaphorical flash of light...or light bulb really, going off in the head of a young chocoholic -- okay, a “young-atheart” chocoholic would be more accurate. Anyhow, light bulb, brain, chocoholic… and “Whoosh!”, as if by magic, “Sinfully The Best Chocolates & Fine Foods” (or STB) bursted into existence at the corner of Chatham Street & No.1 Road. It was a magical time: sinfully delicious artisan chocolates and velvety decadent mousse cups became available in Steveston, all served by a wonderful fairy godmother named Honeybunch. Honeybunch believed in hospitality and always greeted her guests with a sweet delectable “welcome”. Incredibly, these sinsational chocolates and

mousses were all made in-house, from fresh ingredients, in STB’s kitchen by Honeybunch’s fairy god-sisters -- who coincidentally were also all named Honeybunch (so you can imagine the confusion when they were speaking to each other). Over time, Honeybunch wove her magic (but instead of an enchanted wand, she used her fingers, an iPad and a cordless phone) and “Ding!”... luxurious fine foods appeared. Everything from aged balsamic vinegars and truffle oils, to specialty salts and scrumptious pastry crackers (plus more) became available to all who entered. Then in the ancient year 2017,after 6 delightful years at STB, another magical lightbulb flash occurred -- and “Bing!”...“Sinfully Too” bursted into existence near the corner of Bayview & Third Streets. Soon mouthwatering macarons, specialty custom cakes, luscious cupcakes, and other petite temptations also became available in Steveston. Before anyone could say “2018”, a whole year went by...and a magical year it was. So to thank Steveston (and Richmond), STB’s Honeybunches would like to engage everyone’s sense of fun and community. This Christmas, Sinfully The Best will not only be holding its annual “Giant Chocolate Centerpiece Raffle” at STB’s main store, but a new “Gingerbread House-designing Contest & Raffle” will be held at STB’s Sinfully Too location. All proceeds will be donated to Richmond’s Food-bank. Stay tuned for more.

A group of drop-in players at the RichmondPro Badminton Centre are thrilled with the news the 55+ B.C. Games are coming to the city in 2020. The group is fresh off their inaugural trip to the Games in Kimberley and Cranbrook two weeks ago where they represented Zone 4 and brought home a whopping 47 medals, including 27. The total represents 75 percent of the medals handed out during the ﬁve-day badminton competition.

Besides the success, the camaraderie of the Games and the opportunity to compete against other players from around the province has the group already looking forward to next year’s Games in Kelowna. Then it will be in its own backyard two years from now. “It was something for all of us to do instead of sitting at home and watching TV,” laughed trip organizer Dansy Tam who had experienced a 55+ Games before on his own.” The contingent also included: Chris Kwee, Jack Chan, Judy Yen, Shi Yun Peng, Roy Tang, Kevin Chen, William Chin, Peter Lalani, George Lau Chun Leung, Anita Jang, Jannei Yu, Frankie Chow, John Chow, Steven Lam and Cynthia Hsiung. The 55+ BC Games is an annual, multi-sport competition celebrating active and healthy seniors.

Senior Games Society. “As our Games are returning to Zone, 4 that has a history a strong contingent attending games, we will be anticipating strong participant numbers in the events and sports that will be run! Wishing you every success in hosting these Games!” Richmond will celebrate in Roaring 20s style with a memorable Games featuring superb sports facilities in a supportive, diverse community and

ey World Cup, known as the Olympics of adult recreational hockey. “With outstanding sports facilities, experienced and enthusiastic community partners and volunteers and a broad selection of hotels, dining and attractions we will deliver an unforgettable experience for all the participants.” In 2017, an Economic Impact study found Games provide an impact of over $3.3 million to the host community. In addition, host communities will beneﬁt from the development of capacity to host large multisport events through training volunteers and improved infrastructure through the Games Legacy program.

Sockeyes sizzle in September It certainly was a September to remember. The rookie-loaded Richmond Sockeyes head into October as the lone undefeated team in the Paciﬁc Junior Hockey League. There were slated to visit Langley on Wednesday night at return to Minoru Arenas on Thursday (7 p.m.) to face the Abbotsford Pilots. For the ﬁrst time in seven seasons, the Sockeyes went through September without a loss, capped by a 9-0 drubbing of the Port Moody Panthers on Saturday night to improve to 7-0-1-0 on the campaign. Defenceman Jacob Keremidscheff, one of just three returning players from last year’s Cyclone Taylor Cup champion-

ship team, led the way with three points, including a pair of goals. Edvin Hasakovic also scored twice with singles to Max Fookes, Michael Araki-Young, Zefan Pighin and Isaac Embree. Among the veterans added to this group is goaltender Jeremy Kelleway who sat out last season after playing in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. The 19-year-old Delta Hockey Academy product has been superb, picking up his ﬁrst shutout with 26 saves against the Panthers. He leads the PJHL with a .954 save percentage and a 1.51 goals against average in seven starts. Kelleway turned aside 29 shots,

including 18 in the final period, in last Thursday’s 2-1 home ice win over the Aldergrove Kodiaks. Araki-Young snapped a 1-1 deadlock with just over five minutes left in the second period and it stood up as the game winner. Icing… Thursday’s game features the top two teams in the league with Abbotsford coming to Minoru with a 6-1-0-1 record. The overall league standings will determine the playoff match-ups come February — not the conference standings — with eight of the 12 teams advancing. The PJHL has a balanced schedule for the first time in recent memory with each team playing the other four times.

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?

Q: A:

Who is considered the legal informant and can apply to administer my estate if there is no will/executor? We always encourage adults of any age to have a will in place. When this is not the case, the following applies; The Spouse or Common Law Spouse (of two consecutive years) is the first person who can apply to administer your estate. If they are unwilling or unable then one or more of your relatives can apply, according to the priority set out by law. If they also are unwilling or unable, any other person who may be appropriate could apply such as a friend. The Public Guardian and Trustee, as Official Administrator for the Province of BC might also apply to administer your estate in some circumstances; for example, if your estate is insolvent or if no one else is willing to act as Administrator.

use of your property. Some of these restrictions are: pet ownership, are children allowed?, where can I park? can I rent out my unit? is smoking allowed? is there an age restriction. Before you write an offer on a strata property, get a copy of the most current registered bylaws, and also ask if there are any bylaw changes being considered in the near future. If you don’t clearly understand these documents, ask a professional before you commit to an offer in writing. These ‘rules’ will affect your use of the property, and can also affect it’s salability in the future. Questions? Call Deb ..

“wired” feeling?

Something called “Phosphatidylserine” (aka. “PS”) is an important structural component of cell membranes, especially in brain cells. The membrane is crucial for holding together the necessary enzymes, proteins, ion pumps, receptors, etc., that control the nutrients and toxins that go in and out of a cell, respectively. It has been observed that people taking PS as an oral supplement experience an improvement in mental acuity (“sharpness”), concentration, and learning. Thus, it is something that can nourish the brain, as well as promote brain function. Some prescription cognitive drugs function by enhancing the levels of the communication molecule called “acetylcholine” in the brain, and some studies show that PS can safely achieve a similar result. PS is also known to reduce levels of cortisol (the “stress hormone”) in the body, thereby elevating a person’s mood. The supplemental form of PS was initially isolated from bovine brain; now, it is mostly extracted from soy lecithin. “PS-100™” by AOR is vegetarian, and is best taken with a Co-Enzyme Q10 (“CoQ10”) and Omega-3 supplement. PS is quite safe to take, but do consult your pharmacist and physician team before you incorporate it into your day.

I overcharge hearing aid Q: Can rechargeable batteries if I leave

them on the charger for too long?

More hearing aid models are now compatible with rechargeable battery system. It means hearing aid users do not have to change disposable batteries every a few days. Instead they put aids on a charging system to refill power.

The batteries will not overcharge if they are left on the charger. It is the right practice to put the hearing aids on the charger over night. This will turn off the hearing aids and keep the batteries charged. When the hearing aids are on the charger, always leave the charger plugged in with power. Without power, the hearing aids will turn on automatically and begin to drain the battery.

Lily Liu, M. A, RHIP

If you have to remove hearing aids from your ears during the day, it is also better to put the hearing aids back on the charger. A simple rule is: If the hearing aids are not on/in your ears, they should be on the charger. The batteries will not overcharge, and storing them in the charger will not decrease the overall lifespan of the battery. If the charger is not available, it’s OK to open the battery door for a few hours until you wear them again.

have been told to “ stand up straight….watch your posture”. Hopefully you have listened to the advice because you will look better and have more energy. If posture is out of balance, the spine is out of balance, putting unhealthy pressure upon your nervous system. Activities as subtle as sleeping, traumas like emotional stress, work or auto injuries, recreational injuries and even the birthing process itself can result in spinal imbalances. Your spine is the most important factor affecting your posture. In order to have the best possible posture and health your spine has to be in the best possible condition. Thus, a chiropractic checkup can help keep your spine and posture healthy.

If batteries will not be used for over 2 weeks or long term, the rechargeable batteries should be removed from the hearing aids and stored in a dry place where they do not touch each other or other metal objects.

Q: I have lost my first upper right molar,

A: Yes, these are called unilateral partials. However

My home furnace seems to be working ok but, I haven’t done any service or repairs on it in years. Is there something I can do to make sure it’s in good working order before the heating season starts? - Mike

I still have my last molar on the same side. Is it possible to make me a small partial just for this side?

there are circumstances that must be observed before your practitioner can commit to fabricating your prosthetic.

The remaining teeth adjacent on each side of the missing tooth/teeth must be caries (cavity) free and have no present movement. The prosthetic like all prosthetics should be checked on an annual basis for fit and function. Proper fit is of utmost importance. To prevent accidental swallowing, you must not sleep with the prosthetic Following your dental practitioners’ advice is paramount. When created properly patient’s absolutely love this type of partial. They can be made to feel similar to a bridge to your tongue. Be prepared to possibly have a clasp showing in favor of safety but clasps in most cases can be hidden. If you have any questions regarding this or any other implant or dental related subject please do not hesitate to call or make an appointment for a free consultation.

Doing things proactively is always a good idea. It’s a lot wiser to look after your heating equipment now, than to wait until it goes down in the dead of winter. Your furnace, should be cleaned and inspected annually. 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. It also provides peace of mind for the safety of a Gas fueled appliance. The BC Safety Authority recommends regular maintenance on Gas Appliances to reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. We can also do this for your Gas Fireplaces. Make sure whoever you use is a Licenced and Certified Gas Fitter. We actually have a Furnace Servicing Special, where we will go through a whole checklist of inspections and service. We will make sure you are going to be toasty and warm all winter! Give us a call at the office and we can give you more details. - Rob
