I was 16 when my mom and I went down into a church basement to join a session of Scottish country dancing. Admittedly, it’s a nerdy thing to do as a teenager, but I liked dance and I particularly liked the woman who was running the show. Una was a bubbly English woman who was a good friend of my mom. She was one of those people who made it possible to glimpse another side of your parent. (In this case, a particularly giggly one.) Back in the church basement, I couldn’t believe how many people were down there, following the intricate step patterns to the sound of a reel and Una’s instruction. Despite tripping over myself, it was a fun evening, although I never tried Scottish dancing again — until last month. At age 91, Una died and what better way to celebrate her full and exuberant life than pushing back the chairs, cueing up the music and launching into a Scottish reel. But Una wasn’t just a dancer. She was also a social worker, a teacher and an advocate. My mom knew her because they both taught social work at Mount Royal College in Calgary.

When Una was early into her career, she went to Ottawa and spoke before a special Senate committee on aging. Here is part of what she had to say: “The notion of relegating the aged to peaceful havens of segregated comfort and security is a quaint appeasement of our mass guilt and a pathetic comment upon not only human nature, but upon life itself.” The sad irony is that it was in exactly that kind of “haven of segregated comfort” that she spent her final years. At her celebration of life, her son said, “Something that has always eaten away at me is a promise I made to mum 50 years ago and reiterated throughout her life: that I would never put her in a care home.”
31
But there was no alternative. Una, like all three of her sisters, developed Alzheimer’s disease. The last time I saw her was almost three years ago. She appeared scared, confused and deeply unhappy.
26
I should be clear, the facility she was in was lovely. It was a warm, welcoming home with caring staff who organized all manner of activities. Regardless, she was bored and afraid, and I suspect she would have felt the same anywhere. She asked her son repeatedly to help her die, but as he said, “I just couldn’t. Didn’t want to rot in jail, and then go to hell.” I know assisted dying is a complicated issue, but surely we can work our way through that complication to find a humane way to handle these kinds of situations. To not “euthanize” a pet when its time has come is considered animal cruelty, yet we force our loved ones to endure long past their will to live.
30
Since 2016, we’ve had assisted dying legislation, but it’s restrictive. Someone like Una wouldn’t have qualified because she would be considered “not of sound mind,” and it doesn’t allow for “advance consent,” meaning consent given before a disease has impaired the mind. As well, death must be imminent, and the body of a person with Alzheimer’s can keep ticking long after the mind has shut down. So, on she went. Una will be remembered for her warm, lively spirit, but her final years should also be a reminder that our assisted dying legislation is still unfinished.

Do you think there is ever a context to show propaganda films in schools? (see story page 9)
Antoine Guntalilib TRAVEL AGENCY EMPLOYEE
“No, I don’t think propaganda films should be shown in school. We live in a world of social media and everything on these platforms contains propaganda that students and everyone can see every day. ...Keep propaganda out of the school.”
Jennifer Bourque “Yes, I think it’s okay for propaganda films to be shown in school. There is a lot of propaganda media on the Internet and social media that students have access to. In a school environment, the films are shown in a more controlled environment as well.”
“There are different types of propaganda films – true and fake. I don’t think schools should be showing propaganda films, unless we are talking about educational material showing history.”

Give older generation March is over, time for climate change credit action to save planet Dear Editor, I am extremely encouraged to see young people rallying to express their concerns about global warming. I agree that societies around the world have become producers of needless waste that is polluting the planet and this must change. Listening to the conversations during the rally, however, makes me wonder if too much of the blame is being put on the past generation. My generation, for example, repaired things that were not working properly and it was not uncommon to have old but very well working appliances, TVs and cars that we were proud of. Now, it seems the younger generations tends to put a high value on new things and they “recycle” old things. Things such as TVs, cell phones, laptops and a vast array of electronics that are often in working
order are discarded after only few years. Many of these items are produced and recycled in Asia where carbon emissions from factories are not well regulated and new products and products destined for recycling are transported around the globe by large container ships that are also some of the worst carbon emitters. In my generation, when we were hungry we made ourselves a sandwich for lunch and cooked most of our meals at home. Now the younger generations seems to think it’s acceptable sign on to a food delivery app and order someone to drive across town and pick up from a restaurant that will use an excessive amount of packaging material in order to deliver a single meal to their doorstep. In my generation, we walked to school. Yes, even in the rain and snow. It took about half an hour if I remember correctly
Super Grocer & Pharmacy
and sometimes it was the best exercise we got all day. Now it seems the younger generations think it’s a parent’s duty to drive them to school. I cringe every time I see these long lineups of idling cars in front of schools each morning and afternoon. Then in the evenings, kids are often driven again back and forth to a sports facility so they can get their exercise. So I guess what I’m saying is that while I’m happy to see the younger generation mobilizing and demanding change, I am disappointed with where they seem to be placing all the blame. I would ask that they recognize that some of the things the older generation did were saving a great deal of carbon emissions way back then. Change begins with the things you can control and making tough choices.

I understand the desire to listen to your hero in person and marches raise the profile of emergent issues, so I’ll give them yesterday (Oct. 25 climate march). Now, it is time for the young people who attended this rally to strap on their boots and get down to work. Engaging everyone they can as mentors, liaisons, facilitators and friends, they need to start organizing groups to lobby, conceptualize, study, learn, research and work on solutions; realistic ones and dream ones, practical ones and political ones. This is how we effect change in real life. Many of us have long been recycling, reusing, reducing and changing to alternate energy and less polluting solutions. Some are developing ideas that will reduce or eliminate pollutants and emissions. Others are financing these or incorporating them into the work they do. And, let’s not forget, politicians at all levels are working on policy in this area. The solutions Greta and all who support her want are going to come
Greta Thunberg attended a climate strike in Vancouver on Oct. 25. Twitter photo about only as a group effort made by all generations at all levels. So, tuck away the Twitter and Instagram posts and assemble those who can help you begin the hard work that always presages societal change.

8 lanes not enough Millennial offers gym advice To the editor, Re: “Chamber pushes for more lanes in tunnel,” News, Oct. 24 Kudos to Matt Pitcairn of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and also to Coun. Alexa Loo for speaking out about the absurdity of building an eight-lane tunnel when the traffic volumes clearly indicate that at least a 10-lane tunnel or bridge would be required to meet demand to replace the George Massey Tunnel. No one I have talked to since the Metro Vancouver mayors’ task force released their recommendation for an eight-lane tunnel can understand what the logic is in their recommendation. In the eight-lane proposal, with one lane each way being taken up by transit (which we all agree is a good thing), only leaves three lanes each way for vehicles. Three lanes each way is what we have now at rush hour (at least six hours a day) with the resulting congestion and air pollution. Construction of a bridge is faster, cheaper and has less environmental impact than a tunnel. I can only think of one reason for the task force recommendation. The 10-lane bridge proposal was put forward by the provincial Liberals and the terms of reference as provided by the NDP government to the mayors’ task force did not allow the mayors’ task force to even consider it.
Part of the difficulty faced by Richmond and the tunnel replacement project is that billions of dollars are slated for the extension of the SkyTrain from Commercial Drive to Arbutus and then on to UBC as Phase 2. The cost of the extension is huge and will drain federal and provincial infrastructure money allocated to this region for years to come. TransLink is also considering replacing the proposed light rail extension from Whalley to Langley with a SkyTrain line and they have also approved replacing the Pattullo Bridge. Both of these projects will remove even more capital away from the George Massey Tunnel project. Now that priority is given to these other projects, it means little money will be available to replace the George Massey Tunnel and construction of either a tunnel or bridge will be shuffled to some distant future date. The task force members have their regional priorities, the provincial government has theirs. Other parts of the Metro Vancouver region have their competing capital priorities for hospitals, schools and transit and shelving the George Massey replacement project for years suits them just fine.

Dear Editor, Re: “Gym for Dummies,” column, online I could sense Shelly Civkin’s frustration in her column. As an ‘under 30’ individual who also utilizes our community gyms, I feel a right to respond to her article. First, I do carry my phone and bulky headphones around, mainly to listen to my music, and tune out the generic radio stuff. I do send messages. When a piece of equipment I want is being utilized for long periods of time,
I google alternative exercises I can do in the meantime. I also like to time my rest periods and static exercises. So I can’t speak for every millennial or gen Z’er, but my phone is an important tool during workouts. I know with my headphones on and ugly workout face I can look unapproachable. However, I guarantee that if you approach me kindly and without prejudgment, I’d be more than willing to share equipment with you, and even spend some time showing you
exercises. Most ‘people under 30’ have a vast amount of gym knowledge and experience that older generations could benefit from, if only they’d asked for the help. I agree with you gym staff have the ability to shape the environment into a more welcoming and helpful place. I’d like to see them walking around, observing interactions, offering advise and setting a positive behaviours that all generations can attune to.

How are these small but excellent businesses supposed to survive (and thrive) if they cannot advertise in this way?
I am a long-time Steveston resident, and frankly, I welcome these sandwich boards, as how else can I, or anyone else, find out what treasures are hiding down some of our side streets? If it wasn’t for this signage, I wouldn’t have discovered several gems in the village. If safety for pedestrians is the issue, perhaps they should

Reid says bye to Victoria
Reid were answered, including what information about the liquor incident others may have told Reid.
Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Reid told the Richmond News she was on the road in late July and on holidays in August. She was offered the questions in writing and responded, she added. She also noted she was not the Speaker at the time of the incident referenced in the report.
This will be Linda Reid’s last term as an MLA. Reid announced her retirement from politics last week after 28 years of serving as a representative of Richmond residents in the B.C. Legislature, making her the longest-serving MLA currently sitting in Victoria.
Reid said in her statement last Thursday, the “difficult decision” to not seek re-election was made in order to create “opportunities for a new generation of British Columbians to run for office.
Reid served in several ministerial roles when in government and as the Speaker of the House from 2013 to 2017. In opposition, she was the assistant deputy speaker until last February when she was replaced following the release of a report by Darryl Plecas looking into questionable actions by two high-ranking staff members connected to the Speaker’s office, including an alleged theft of liquor in April 2013. Following Plecas’ report, the RCMP launched an investigation into the affair, led by retired Vancouver Police deputy chief, Doug LePard. Then-Deputy Clerk of the House, Kate RyanLloyd, told an investigator she and Reid discussed the April 22, 2013 incident after Reid assumed the Speaker’s role on June 26, 2013. Reid said she didn’t remember a conversation with Ryan-Lloyd about the liquor.
Linda Reid is not seeking reelection after this term. File photo the incident with then-Speaker Linda Reid in the context of policy discussions regarding Legislative Assembly property,” wrote LePard in his report to the Legislature, released to the public Oct. 8. LePard’s report details 12 witness interviews, including Reid; however Reid was the only one who didn’t speak directly to LePard, instead choosing to communicate via her lawyer George Cadman.
“Ms. Ryan-Lloyd said she also spoke about

“My priority throughout my career as an elected member of my community has been to encourage young people, especially women, to get involved in politics,” she said in her announcement. Reid, who is currently the BC Liberal critic for seniors, said she will continue to represent Richmond South Centre and work as the seniors critic for the rest of her term. Reid was first elected in 1991 despite Mike Harcourt’s NDP taking power; she has been re-elected seven times. In addition to being Speaker, she served as the Minister of Advanced Education, minister responsible for early childhood development and minister responsible for child care. — With files from Glacier Media

The body found in a remote corner of Sea Island in Richmond Saturday morning has been identified as a male, believed to be in his 60s. A spokesperson for the BC Coroner’s office, however, told the Richmond News on Monday that identification is still to be confirmed through forensic testing. “In addition to determining identity, our investigation will determine how, where, when and by what means the male came to his death. We are still in the early stages of this investigation,” added the spokesperson. The News reported Saturday evening online how the YVR Mounties were first on scene around 10:30 a.m. earlier that day. The RCMP said at the time that identification may take some time due to the body’s “advanced state.” The body was found in the southwest corner of Sea Island.

Pro-China clip sparks anger Rollover Maria Rantanen & Nono Shen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A Richmond high school removed an assignment based on a pro-China film trailer after an outcry on Facebook by Hong Kong supporters. A pro-Hong Kong Facebook group asked parents to complain to the Richmond School District after Steveston-London students watched movie trailers from the film, My People, My Country, made by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and distributed internationally to mark the PRC’s 70th anniversary in September. The group claimed the film violates the rights of “other ethnic groups.” Students in three Mandarin classes at Steveston-London watched the YouTube trailers. The administrator for the group “Hongkongers in Vancouver,” which has several thousand members, told the Richmond News that the information was received from a group member. The post, flagged Thursday on Twitter, describes the movie, and asks “why do these students need to watch (a) movie that defines China as a motherland?”
The post ends with this message: “Parents from Vancouver and Richmond, please complain to the local school board and the school principal, this Mandarin class course has violated the rights of other ethnic groups....” The principal, Carol-Lyn Sakata, asked the teacher to stop using the worksheet, meant for oral practise, about the film trailers and the teacher planned to give the students another assignment instead. Sakata wrote a letter to parents in the Grade 10 to 12 Mandarin classes saying there was concern over the “controversial and political nature of the film,” with some critics calling it a pro-China propaganda film. “This has brought to my attention how schools must continue to be sensitive to the resources we use in our classrooms,” Sakata wrote. According to a column published by Edward Liu in local Chinese language newspaper Sing Tao Daily on Oct. 27, he said it’s not appropriate to let students watch the trailer in class. “Canada is a country of multiculturalism, but multiculturalism doesn’t mean multi-nationalism. Since the film is dedicated to the founding of the People’s Republic of China,

how much movie content has reflected Chinese culture?” asked Liu. The Richmond School Board should provide the public further explanation, as well as better education for the teacher, Liu added. Dennis Wang, however, a Steveston-London graduate, said labelling the showing of a patriotic film in class as brainwashing seems a bit over the top. “Chinese culture and identity in this day and age are very much intertwined with some sense of patriotism (some may call nationalism), whether supported by the CCP or not,” said Wang. “I am sure we all have the critical thinking ability to differentiate our opinions from that of a film.” Richmond superintendent Scott Robinson didn’t respond to requests for an interview. However, a written statement from the district’s communications office said the intent of the class was to engage students in an “informal and open discussion” to “analyze personal, shared, and others’ perspectives, and worldviews through a cultural lens,” as described by the curriculum for Mandarin classes.

Greasy spoon slides into history
Steveston Harbour landlord had been bailing out the business for many years months, without success, to contact De Ruiter about the recent arrears.
Alan Campbell
“We really did not want to see the business closing and we did everything possible, and more, to keep it open,” she told the News on Tuesday, indicating that the café was “two months’ rent and three months’ power behind.”
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
“I was forced to make a choice. Pay the rent or buy the supplies.” It was with a heavy heart that Jason De Ruiter announced on the weekend that the 30-year-old Fisherman’s Boot Café — one of the last of its kind in Richmond — will close its doors on Thursday (today).
“We absolutely did not want to take this action, but we had no choice but to issue a 15-day cancellation notice.” De Ruiter said he’s now looking into starting up a Fisherman’s Boot food truck, but “isn’t sure if the city allows that?”
Despite business picking up markedly at the Steveston Harbour diner since it featured last month in the Richmond News’ Greasy Spoon series, De Ruiter admitted he couldn’t keep up with the rent. And on Oct. 31, the earthy, Trites Road café, known for its salty humour, will serve its last fish ‘n’ chip special. “We simply weren’t busy enough to sustain it. Ironically, we started getting busy after the (Greasy Spoon feature). It’s a shame,” said De Ruiter, who only took over the running of the café in May from his mother, Penny Chancellor. When he took over the reins, De Ruiter said he got a personal loan to clear debt owed to the landlord, the Steveston Harbour Authority.
As recently as last month, “The Boot” was featured in the News’ Greasy Spoon Café series, with many readers writing in to extol the virtues of the old fashioned, 36-seat diner.

Alan Campbell file photo But he told the News that the previous debt — which a new owner has to assume liability for — wasn’t the reason for the business having to close. Indeed, the News has been told by the harbour authority that it has, over many years, gone out of its way to help keep the café open.
The harbour said it forgave, in 2013, more than $2,000 in debt and reduced the rent to just $200 per month, plus metered power. The rent, the News was told, was later raised to $250 per month, plus metered power. Jaime Gusto, the harbour authority’s general manager, said they tried for several
The café was considered one of an apparently dying breed in the city — the familyrun “greasy spoon.” It was unashamedly down-to-earth and took pride in having few frills, including the wooden plaques dotted around the booths and behind the counter, which barked orders at customers and insulted the patrons, all in good humour. The café used to be the BC Packers warehouse lunchroom.

‘Be bold:’ YVR boss challenges TransLink Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Think big and build more was the challenge from the head of the airport to the head of TransLink at a chamber event last week. YVR CEO Craig Richmond pointedly told TransLink’s CEO, Kevin Desmond, to “be bold” with their transit expansion, for example, to add trains and not just dig the tunnel halfway to UBC. “Find the money to do this, don’t go small, go big because infrastructure is such an enabler in so many ways,” he said. Pointing to the Canada Line, Richmond said there should be four or five more trains lines like that.
In the past year, Richmond and Delta have seen a nine per cent increase in transit ridership, but only a four per cent increase in service, Desmond said. Desmond called the Canada Line, which extends to YVR and just celebrated its 10th anniversary, a “smart investment,” but he pointed out there was discussion at the time whether it should even be built. “At the end of the day, we underbuilt it (…) we have to think bigger, we have to think 10, 20, 30, 40 years in advance,” Desmond said. He acknowledged the airport, the transit authority and the port are “completely and utterly connected.” Twenty per cent of passengers flying out of YVR come

to the airport with the Canada Line, which is very high by North American standards, but, globally, low. “If they can’t get to the airport, we can’t put them on an airplane,” Richmond said. To highlight the problems that inadequate transit cause his sector, Richmond recounted the story of a YVR restaurant owner who is paying for cabs for his employees to arrive early in the morning and leave late at night because of the lack of transportation options. The two head honchos were joined by their Vancouver Fraser Port counterpart, Robin Silvester, at “Metro Vancouver on the Move,” a panel discussion organized by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce last week.

Social network helps on path to recovery MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Dave MacDonald and Mike Tibbles are peers, close friends and both in recovery from mental illness. And they both have semicolons tattooed on their forearms for the same reason — they have chosen to continue living.
“Just because I’m ill, it’s not the end of my story,” MacDonald said. “(The semicolon) means we could have chosen to end our lives, but we decided to continue,” Tibbles added.
MacDonald has been managing the clubhouse for 17 years, but recently has opened up about his own depression and anxiety.

Activities such as tai chi or Spanish classes help individuals connect and be active, but when members also participate in running the clubhouse, they can re-integrate into the work force through the clubhouse’s supported employment program.
The semicolon is a pause to take a quick inhale, unlike the final exhale of the period.
MacDonald and Tibbles meet daily at Pathways where MacDonald is the executive director.

It’s important to reduce stigma around mental illness, MacDonald said, especially as the director of an organization serving people with mental illness. Tibbles has schizoaffective disorder, which is schizophrenia combined with depression.

Pathways is largely funded by the provincial government, but their youth programs are not funded, which is why the fundraising at this year’s gala is focused on youth. Gilmore United Church has already committed $20,000 per year for three years for youth. At Pathways, they call their gala a “friendraiser,” MacDonald said, because they want to celebrate the work they do and show appreciation to their supporters.

So often people with mental illness lose control over their personal choices in regimented clinical-institutional settings, said MacDonald. “A lot of decisions are made for you,” he added.

Storeys’ plotline fills housing need Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Some people came straight from the streets, others from recovery homes or cramped housing situations. They came together to live at Storeys, in what Turning Point’s executive director Brenda Plant calls a community — not just a building. Storeys, a 14-floor housing and social services building just off No. 3 Road, is home to five different social service agencies and their clients/members. Of the 124 housing units, 38 have been provided to clients of Coast Mental Health. CEO Darrell Burnham explained, when they opened two years ago, many people were coming there after living in parks and on the street. “It actually shocked us,” Burnham said. “That just shows you how limited the housing situation was in Richmond,” he added. The journey to get Storeys built was a decade long, initiated by Turning Point Recovery Society. The non-profit was already operating two recovery homes in Richmond and wanted to have secondstage housing where they could send clients after recovery. The society approached Success and Coast Mental Health to work together. Pathways Clubhouse, a centre for people in recovery from mental illness, was also looking for a more stable location, and later Tikva Housing came aboard. The building now serves clients from a wide variety of backgrounds — those who are recoverying from substance use, coping with mental illness, or in inadequate
housing — single parents, seniors and immigrants. Turning Point clients are expected to have been clean and sober for three to six months before moving in and, while there, attend weekly counselling and group meetings. Their success rate is 78 per cent. “It’s evidence that having a continuum of care in addictions works,” Plant said. Tikva Housing, a Jewish housing society, has 18 units and focuses on family housing, so their units are all one-, two- or three-bedroom homes, explained Alice Sundberg, the agency’s director of housing and operations. Storeys has provided housing stability to families, but it has also provided an “informal education” to residents as they live side by side with marginalized people, “learning that these people who are often marginalized are just folks like the rest of us,” Sundberg said.

“We could twin another Storeys in Richmond, and we would have no problem filling it,” Burnham said.
TRICK OR TREAT
Queenie Choo, CEO of Success, which has 53 units, said the people in the building are learning to live together in a diverse community. But she is also impressed by the model of having several non-profit agencies working collaboratively. “It’s also a perfect opportunity for operators to learn to have other partners to work together (with),” said Choo. Success opened its WorkBC site on the Granville Avenue side of Storeys in late September, providing employment services. Everything about how Storeys came together was unique, said Plant, and having so many non-profits work together to build housing hasn’t been replicated. The only problem is they need more of it.

“She’s definitely the only one of her kind left in North America and very likely the world.” As the fall sunshine bounces off the still waters at Britannia Heritage Shipyards, lighting up the 97-year-old steam-powered tugboat, Barry Martens’ love affair with the SS Master isn’t difficult to spy. Showing off the 85-foot vessel’s hulking, Scottish-built, triple expansion, double-acting steam engine, it’s clear Martens has invested equal measures of time and devotion into keeping the Master seaworthy.
ally with a torque wrench to keep it going. “We’re hoping to rectify that in the next few months, though. If successful, we can take her to Granville Island, Victoria, anywhere close by where there are boat or marine festivals.” Like many things with historical significance, there’s a price to pay in reliving the past and the SS Master is no exception. “(Funds) are always an issue,” admitted Martens. “What we need desperately is professional help, in terms of fundraising. “I can put together the documentation, but we need someone who knows who to speak to.
Built with B.C. timber in 1922 in False Creek Shipyard, the steam-powered tugboat and its seven-strong crew worked from Alaska, all the way down the west coast to B.C., mostly hauling barges of limestone and gravel and towing log booms. “Apart from a bit of exotic timber, such as the Australian gumwood on the rails — which you won’t find anywhere around here now — there was nothing fancy about her,” said Martens, president of the non-profit SS Master Society, which has owned the rare workhorse since 1976. “There’s nothing special about this boat. But she’s the only one left of her kind and she represents an important part of B.C.’s steam engine history. “About 300 were made, but there’s a few that got re-fitted with a diesel engine.” The SS Master worked up and down the west coast from 1922 to 1959 and then sat derelict for two years, before being bought by the World Ships Society, who maintained her until the SS Master Society took over in 1976. Lovingly restored, the Master regularly sailed to maritime festivals in the region and was the flagship for Expo ’86. However, she hasn’t sailed under her own steam since 2014 and a handful of the 30-strong society membership, including Martens, spend every Saturday morning maintaining the historic vessel.

“The boiler can’t raise steam right now, so she’s not going anywhere,” explained Martens, adding that they cycle the engine manu-
“The boat needs more and more maintenance. The last major re-fit was 1985 and ‘86, when she was the flagship for Expo. “We can probably keep her afloat for another 10 years or so, but that’s without doing anything. We do need hull maintenance; if it degrades any more, she won’t be seaworthy.” A major re-fit, said Martens, is around $2.5 million to $3 million. “That is imminent.” In the meantime, the society — whose members’ ages range from 35 to 83 — will keep doing their best to keep the SS Master afloat. “I’ve been a sailor all my life. I love coming down here, even if it’s on my own, pottering around,” said Martens. “You can really feel the history on the boat.” If you think you can help the society, go online to SSmaster.org.

New Pill Fights Forgetfulness by Boosting Oxygen Levels in the Brain A new patented pill is proving mental fatigue, trouble focusing, and forgetfulness may simply result from lack of oxygen to the brain
Dr. Henry Esber, PhD. For Immediate Release TORONTO − Expectations are high for a new pill which has been shown to relieve mental fatigue, improve focus, and significantly enhance cognition by boosting oxygen levels in the body, including the brain. The news comes following the conclusion of its latest survey trial where participants showed amazing improvements in forgetfulness, poor concentration, and memory with regular use. The new pill, called RecalMax initiates a process in the body called vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels to expand. This allows blood to flow more freely, especially to the brain, transporting oxygen and nutrients vital for cognition. The addition of an ingredient accelerator in the formula ensures this process starts quickly and the other ingredients are fully absorbed for maximum effect.
Oxygen Proves Vital for an Amazing Memory According to the Journal of Neurology, a quart of blood flows through the brain every minute. And anything less can cause the brain to malfunction and our memory to fail. “Blood contains oxygen, which the brain requires for energy and thinking. Perhaps more important, it also contains an abundance of signaling molecules which help brain cells to communicate and pass messages to one another” explains Dr. Esber, creator of RecalMax. “We believe the medical community has been going about memory issues all wrong. RecalMax is proof of that. Mental fatigue, focus, and forgetfulness can all be improved by vasodilation, which gives your brain the oxygen it needs to peform at its best.
Awakens the Brain With Nitric Oxide Studies show that every heartbeat pumps nearly 25% of the body’s available blood supply into the brain. And in between these heart beats, cellular waste is cleared out. So, when this process is working right, the brain is constantly being energized and cleansed every second
of every day. However, as we get older, this sequence becomes less efficient, and we begin to experience lapses in in concentration, absentmindedness, and mental decline. Many researchers believe this decrease in cerebral blood flow results from falling nitric oxide levels − a signaling molecule produced by the lining of the arties, which causes them to dilate so blood can to flow to the brain. This is what makes RecalMax so groundbreaking - It floods the blood stream with powerful nitric oxide boosting ingredients, causing arteries all over the body to expand. The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more. The result is a rush of blood flow throughout the body and into brain. Often, this is all men and women need to see improvements in memory function. And when taken daily, can expect improvements recall, concentration and overall mental acuity.
Study Participants Amaze Researchers During Tests With the conclusion of their recent clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering RecalMax both in the US and Canada. And regardless of the market, it continues to create enormous demand. Men and women across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be. In the trial above, as compared to baseline, participants taking RecalMax saw a staggering 115% improvement in the ability to recall words and names. They were also significantly better at maintaining thoughts when distracted and could process information much faster. Many of the adults taking RecalMax, 70% of which were older than 40, also described feeling sharper. Remarkably, their thoughts were clearer. Their thinking was faster. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

Where to Find RecalMax Scientists believe that the special properties of RecalMax increase cellular energy in the brain.

In 2007, however, the Supreme Court of Canada reversed that presumption in the now famous case of Pecore v. Pecore. Part of the Court’s decision was that gifts of assets to adult children were now subject to a parent’s intent at the time of the gift, rather than the presumption of advancement. The gift was no longer (necessarily) a gift! After the Pecore case, then, if a parent transferred a house to her or his daughter, for example, then when the parent died, the daughter was deemed to hold the house in Trust for the parent’s Estate, unless the daughter could prove that the parent intended to gift the house to her. It doesn’t end there. Parents sometimes intend to gift assets to some children in their family but not others. There can be many reasons. I have written about “Estate strips” by parents, where they want to not only exclude some children from their Estates, but also want to avoid a legal challenge to their Wills under the terms of the Wills Estates and Succession Act. The law in this area has taken some turns over the last few years and a recent case in this area, decided by our Court of Appeal, was released in earlier this month. Here is the story. The Facts The deceased, a Mother of four adult children, died in August, 2011. The year before, she sought to exclude two of her children from her Estate. No reasons are given in the Court of Appeal’s judgment. What the deceased did was make three different documents. The first was a transfer of the title to her home. She was the sole registered owner of her home but chose to transfer title to herself, along with the two children she wanted to have her Estate. The three became joint tenants.
The third document was a “Deed of Gift and Trust”. The deceased and her two children who were to inherit, signed the document. The Deed described the intention of the deceased, which was to give her assets to the two children or to designate the two as beneficiaries. The Deed also stated that during the lifetime of the deceased, the two children held all the assets in Trust for the deceased and they could not take any step to sever the joint nature of the assets. However, the Deed also said that the deceased could remove the names of the two “included” children from title to any of her assets or could remove them as designated beneficiaries of her assets and if that happened, the children would have no claim to those assets (except through her Will upon her death).

Old law, from England, was based on what is known as The presumption of Advancement. This old legal presumption was based on the premise that parents had to assist their children to advance in life. So where a parent “gave” assets to a child, it was irrevocable. The parent could not legally somehow get the asset back once it was given. A gift was a gift.

There’s a joke I occasionally use in presentations, which is “half of all Estate planning is about who to keep it away from”. Well it may be that B.C. law is evolving to assist persons who have that objective in their Estate planning.
The second document was a Will. In the Will, her Estate was left to the two children she wanted to include. The Will did not provide any reasons for excluding the other two children.

There are a variety of social activities offered at the Seniors Centre with many of them included in the Seniors Facility Pass. Drop in to speak with a staff member about all of the opportunities available.
Finally, the Deed went on to say that on the deceased’s death, the two children would inherit the assets either through the right of survivorship or through the designation of them as beneficiaries (in the event the children were not removed from title by the deceased, their Mother). Until the death of the deceased, no step was taken to remove the two children from title or as beneficiaries of her assets. On the surface, therefore, the assets moved on the death of the deceased, into the names of the two included children. One of the “excluded” children then launched the legal action. He sought a Court Order that the Deed, the Transfer and the Will did not constitute a “gift” because gifts are supposed to be irrevocable and during the deceased’s lifetime, the two children held the assets in Trust for their Mother, which could not constitute a gift. Court’s Decision The Plaintiff (the excluded child) was unsuccessful at the Trial. The Supreme Court of B.C. decided that the document did constitute a gift and so the assets were transferred to the two children. The excluded child appealed. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal. The Court decided that what the deceased (Mother) intended was to transfer her assets to two of her children outside her Estate. And remember, intention is now a significant part of our Estate law. The Court felt that even though the Deed allowed for the deceased to take steps while she was alive, that had the effect of ending the joint tenancy, that did not change the characterization of what the deceased made in the documents, as a “gift”. So the two children the deceased wanted to receive her assets, got them. The excluded children remained excluded. Conclusion In the last couple of years, a number of cases have been decided that seem to allow the exclusion by parents of their children from their Estates. It is clear that Courts will in any given case, carefully consider the intent of the parent/planner, as expressed in their documents. In this case, I note that the Will gives no explanation for why two children of four were excluded from their Mother’s Estate plan. Also, it seems unusual that a document creating a gift (a gift is irrevocable by law), can contain a clause that allows the giver of the gift an ability to essentially cancel the gift. A gift of the right of survivorship in an asset seems to now have acquired unique legal characteristics. More than ever, I think, you need advice in your Estate planning. Take the time.

One of the primary buildings at the Gulf site is the net-making facility — set to be completed this winter — where people can look through large picture windows as fishers make and mend their nets, after learning about the history of fishing and net-making at the cannery museum, said Kiesman.
Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
The net-making company, CanTrawl, currently located on Richmond’s east side, has wanted to relocate to Steveston for the past two decades, said Kiesman.
The golden era of Steveston as a fishing village may be over, but that doesn’t mean the trawling industry is a relic of the past. Steveston Harbour is by far the largest small-craft harbour in the country. It’s home to more than 44 per cent of the buildings in the entire national harbour program. Since 2009, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has invested about $23.5 million into the harbour. Now, plans are well underway to make it the commercial fishing hub of B.C., said Robert Kiesman, chair of the Steveston Harbour Authority (SHA). The foundation for this grand vision was laid back in the 1970s, said Kiesman, when a group of heritage enthusiasts petitioned to save the Gulf of Georgia cannery from destruction and potential “condoization.” In 2014, SHA’s board formally resolved to turn its dream to revitalize Stevetson Harbour into reality. The goal was two-fold: to provide the facilities that would foster a healthy and diverse commercial fishing industry while honouring Steveston’s rich history and thriving tourism business. To make it all happen, the harbour authority has partnered with the Musqueam First Nation, the province and large- and smallscale members of B.C.’s fishing industry. A long history Steveston was a centre for fishing long before the village and its harbour existed. For centuries, Musqueam lived off the region’s resources in settlements up and down the coast, including Steveston, often following the salmon-spawning grounds. Then came the canneries, built by Chinese, Japanese and European immigrants who began arriving in the 19th century, joining the local Indigenous peoples in harvesting and processing seafood. More than 15 canneries lined the town’s waterfront, an area that became known as Steveston’s cannery row. The largest of these was the Gulf of Georgia, the “mon-
And at the end of Trites Road, in the working heart of the harbour authority, is the Paramount Site, holding the majority of large-scale industrial buildings. Robert Kiesman, chair of the Steveston Harbour Authority, wants Richmond’s historic fishing village to remain a working harbour. Visitors to Fisherman’s Wharf can buy seafood straight off the boats (below). Kirsten Clarke photos ster cannery,” which opened in 1894 and is now the last of its kind and a national historic site. But the history of fishing in Steveston and B.C. is one of ebbs and flows. The boom years of the 1970s-80s were followed by the bust of the 1990s, when the salmon population drastically declined and catches were sparse.

Most of the province’s seafood is shipped to Asia or the U.S., where it’s then processed and shipped back to Canada for consumption.
The harbour authority is planning to combat this by building a processing facility at the Gulf site.
Fishing is a renewable industry
“The fishing industry is like forestry and agriculture: it’s renewable… and we need to preserve the (harbour) to have the infrastructure here for when it does come back.”
While the ice plant is a good step forward, a vital missing piece is access to local processing.
“A lot of the seafood that we’re getting, about half the seafood in Canada, is mislabelled and comes from this long, convoluted seafood supply chain.”
This shift has resulted in “the greying of the fleet,” said Strobel, as families who may have fished for generations can no longer make a living wage. Now, the average age for a boat’s captain and crew in B.C. is 54. While Kiesman isn’t pretending that the industry is in great shape right now, he does believes it will make a resurgence.
Canada losing ‘food sovereignty’
“Most people in Canada can’t even access Canadian seafood,” said Strobel. “We have a food sovereignty, a food security challenge, and there’s health challenges with that.
Over the last 30 or 40 years, B.C.’s fishing industry has moved towards a large industrial-scale, corporate model, making it hard for independent fishers to make a living, according to Sonia Strobel, CEO of the community-supported fishery Skipper Otto.

With the boats, docks, property and storage of the Steveston Harbour, the SHA resolved to consolidate the various fishing and fishing-related businesses scattered around the Lower Mainland and B.C. into one spot.
The site’s waterfront is dominated by a recently completed ice plant, and nearby, an 80-year-old heritage cannery was converted into a new packaging and distribution centre — run by Organic Ocean — which houses the largest cold room in the Lower Mainland.
unload their catch and spread out there,” said Kiesman. “But number two, it would serve a great community function, cultural function (and) heritage function by preserving Steveston.” The harbour authority’s vision is spread over two sites: the Gulf Site, located at the
Unlike many harbours in North America, which have become tourist attractions rather than prosperous harbours, SHA is “really leading the way in B.C.” when it comes to protecting Steveston as a fishing harbour, said Strobel. That’s what Kiesman is aiming for. “My goal is (that) anytime anyone in this country mentions or thinks about or hears about the fishing industry, they think of Steveston,” said Kiesman.

Community making a meal of it a community meal and they need to get to know the people in the community more.”
Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Many are homeless, some are living in their vans, a few are new immigrants on low incomes, including single parents, while a handful are simply looking to feed on a scrap of social interaction. Despite the gloomy picture being painted, you wouldn’t know at first blush that patrons among the 120-strong crowd at St. Alban’s weekly community meal were carrying the world on their shoulders. Indeed, for the majority, the hearty two courses of meat-loaf, mash potatoes and carrots, followed by chocolate cake, is the highlight of their day. Sure, not all are engaged in chatty conversation at their tables and some shuffle in and scurry out of the free, 45-minute feast, after sitting in the same place with the same people in the church hall. But what the eye doesn’t see is the most important ingredient of all — the feeling they walk out the door with that each matters to their community. “Some have been coming for 15 to 16 years,” said Jacky D’Souza, St. Alban’s Outreach and Advocacy community meal coordinator, who has been volunteering at, or organizing, the Tuesday meal since 1998. “In the last few years, I’ve seen more Asian people, but they also come from Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby. “This means so much to many of them. It’s so important. We try to get them to mix a bit. We tell them it’s
D’Souza said it costs the donation-fed program about $7 per person at every meal, with around 160 to 175 people on average every Tuesday, including 40 or so volunteers. So, with the outreach program’s annual fundraising dinner a little more than two weeks away, the need for help from the community is greater than ever. D’Souza said, as well as ticket sales, they are looking for silent auction items for the $35 a head, Nov. 16 dinner, which includes entertainment, beer/wine sales, with all proceeds going to the outreach’s community meal, Friday lunch, Saturday morning shower and meal delivery programs. For people such as Steven, who has been coming to the meal for several years and is now a volunteer, the Tuesday dinner is something he looks forward to. “I’m single, so this is basically the only time I won’t eat alone,” he said with a huge smile, joking that he’s the “chair-person” at meal, in so much he helps put the chairs away at the end.
Steven (left) and Wesley (centre) came along for the St. Alban’s community meal and now volunteer at the Tuesday dinner. Below (left), chef Grace Turner. Below (right), Starbucks staff volunteer. Alan Campbell photos. More photos at Richmond-News.com
“I live close by, about 250 steps. I have a full-time job in Richmond. But I used to teach sailing. I sit at the same (volunteer) table every week. I know most of these guys.” Most of them, added D’Souza, do the “community meal tour” of the town, with other faith-based organizations offering free meals on other days.

Evan Dunfee added to his decorated race walking career in a big way this month — capturing the bronze medal in the 50 km race at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar. On a hot and humid evening, the 29-year-old worked his way through the field on the 25-lap course— moving from 19th to 15th at the halfway mark and to fifth with 10 kilometres remaining. That’s when his determination took over to cross the finish line in four hours, five minutes and two seconds — earning his first-ever World Championship medal. It puts him in excellent position for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Toyko. The News is proud to recognize Evan as athlete of the month for October

Wildcats face uphill climb in soccer playoffs Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
It didn’t take long for the city’s most dominant team over the past decade or so to discover how treacherous the new South Fraser Zone AAA Boys Soccer Playoffs can be. The McMath Wildcats opened the 12-team double knockout tournament with a 1-0 loss to Lord Tweedsmuir on Monday at Hugh Boyd. The Wildcats controlled much of the territorial play but were victimized on the counterattack and had difficulty generating chances in the final third of the field. McMath is the lone Richmond representative in the AAA playdowns that also feature schools from Surrey and Delta. Four berths for next month’s provincial championships in Burnaby are on the line. The zone features three top 10 schools in the latest provincial AAA rankings — Panorama Ridge (No. 1), Fleetwood Park (No. 6) and South Delta (No. 10). The Wildcats were seeded seventh and will now host No. 8 Guildford Park on Thursday looking to keep their season alive. They will need to win three consecutive games to take their season to Burnaby. Meanwhile, city teams should have an easier route in AA playdowns with far fewer Surrey teams involved in the tier for smaller schools. The McNair Marlins rolled to a 5-0 home field win over Pacific Academy on Tuesday to advance to the semi-finals — as did the McRoberts Strikers by the same score against Salish. The Marlins will host North Delta’s Sands Scorpions on Tuesday at Minoru while the Strikers travel to Surrey Christian. Burnett bowed out of contention with a 6-1 loss to Sands while Hugh Boyd fell 4-1 to Surrey Christian.

Rapid swimmers makes a splash at first Pass meet of the season A number of swimmers made impressive competitive debuts at the Richmond Rapids’ own season-opening Pass Meet. The event features young athletes being introduced to racing as part of the overall development process. Level One swimmers compete in the 100 individual medley, a pair of 50 metre stroke events and the 100 freestyle. Once they achieve under 2:10 for the 100 IM, they are able to move up to Level Two.
Richmond Rapids showcased their up-and-coming competitive swimmers by hosting the first Pass meet of the season. Submitted photo
That level features the 200 IM, two stroke 50s, and the 200 Free. Athletes attempt to swim under four minutes in the 200 IM and 3:35 in the 200 Free. That will send them to their first Lower Mainland Regional meet.
The Rapids’ results were impressive.
Every swimmer in Level One went under 2:10 in the 100 IM and are all moving into Level 2 for the next Pass meet. In Level Two, there were 14 swimmers under four minutes in the 200 IM, and 10 were under the 3:35 mark for 200 Free! That is amazing for the first racing of the year! Swimmers moving onto Level Two include: Natalie Yee, Damon Mo, Mackenzie Lau, Aimee Anderson, Matthew Lau, Thomas Jin, Genvieve Chaw, Wyat Panerio, Elizabeth Anderson and Adrian Lee. Swimmers who achieved the LMR standard are: Stephanie NG, Selena Xu, Theodore Pak, Matthew Liu, Lillian Wang, Heidi Ekk, David Ekk, Ivan Hu and Logan Kuo.

ERICKSON, Fergus Edward Fergus Edward Erickson (Fergie), was born the youngest of four in Erskine, Alberta on December 29, 1932 and passed on from pancreatic cancer at the age of 86 on July 6th, 2019.
He married Marne Tippie at 23 years old, had 4 children, and moved from Stettler, AB to Vancouver, BC. He and Marne were married for 35 years. Fergus found his last love with Kathy Palmer. Fergus was a hard worker. He worked as an instrument reader in the Alberta oil fields, and later became a Red Seal electrician. He planned electrical construction as a foreman on residential and office buildings, on the Main Street Skytrain station and the Skytrain Operations & Maintenance Centre. He ended his formal working career with the Richmond School Board. He did many electrical side jobs to support recreational activities for his children and contributed to the community and his kids as a Scoutmaster. Fergus had a love for tinkering, fixing, and building. He was a voracious reader, a self-taught auto mechanic (body and engine), and woodworker. He rebuilt many cars from the inside out for himself and his family. In Vancouver, Fergus dismantled his first house and rebuilt it, including electrical, plumbing, and finishing. He did work on many homes he lived in, refurbishing and hand-making much of the interiors. Fergus was an active joke teller and pun master, eliciting both groans and laughs from many. He would meet weekly with friends at the Dogwood Cafe in Richmond to share laughs. He enjoyed Looney Toons cartoons and shows about history and nature. Fergus loved travelling and did so extensively with his partner Kathy and his sister Marie. In retirement he continued woodworking, crafting caboose toy boxes and beautiful wooden cars. He took up bee-keeping to help with the bee population - the honey was a wonderful bonus. Fergus loved the freedom of soaring through the sky and owned and maintained an ultra-light airplane. He stopped flying in his 80’s when he was no longer able. He would often say: “Well, what does the manual say?” “If you don’t try, nothing’s going to happen.” Fergus spent many years living on Number 2 Road in Richmond with roommates who became great friends - Grant, Rick, and Dean. Fergus leaves behind three sons and one daughter: Marc, Jay, Shelley, Scott; and ex-daughter-in-law Linda Erickson. His grandchildren also miss him: Kerry and Serena (parents Jay and Linda), and William and Alec (parents Scott and Anne). Fergus was a remarkable man who mastered multiple disciplines, including raising and supporting a family well into his retirement. He was known for his hard-working and practical character. He will be missed by many.
Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.
Sylvester Anthony Stogran (Stogy) was born in Dauphin, Manitoba on January 30th, 1934 to John and Anna Stogran. He was the elder to his brother John Jr. Stogran. Stogy is predeceased by his wife of 60 years Pagie Haroletta Doane (1930-2013). They were married in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on May 18th, 1953. He is survived by his four boys, Wade Stogran (Kathy), Pat Stogran (Trish), Sheldon Stogran and KC Stogran (Debbie). Stogy will be sadly missed by his grandchildren: Syrus Stogran (Marina), Matthew Stogran, Melissa Baker (Daren), Molly Stogran (Dan), Dylan Stogran, Bernadette LeBoeuf (Jean-Benoit) and Derek LeBoeuf (Natalie); and his great grandchildren Kalyn and Sam Stogran and Owen Page Anderson.

He left Manitoba to work in Red Lake (1951) and then in 1952 he moved to work at Cominco as an apprentice for an analytical chemist. He received his BC Assayer Licence shortly thereafter. He also worked with Jardum Mines in Sault St. Marie (1954), and Normetal, Quebec (1956). In 1963 he worked in Matagami, Quebec, followed by Montreal and finally Vancouver to work for Linatex. It is in Vancouver where he worked until his retirement in 1998. Stogy moved to Peterborough in the fall of 2012, residing in Princess Gardens and Fairhaven. He was a member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy throughout his career. We wish to thank the staff at Princess Gardens and Fairhaven for their exceptional care and understanding.
