Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

What does community mean to you? It’s a commonly-used word, often spoken in the context of religion and ethnicity, such as “Chinese,” “South Asian,” “Black” and last, but not least, “Jewish.” It’s the latter of those communities that led me to think about what that title actually means, other than the path of least resistance to describing a certain section of the population.

This week, after being tasked to reach out to Richmond’s small, but vibrant, Jewish congregations in the wake of the tragic events in Pittsburgh last Saturday, I discovered what I believe to be the best deﬁnition yet of community (see page 16). While speaking with the various leaders of some of the local synagogues they, of course, told of a “heightened state of awareness” and felt as if they were looking over their shoulders a little more in and around their places of worship. But what was clear and present from the outset from the rabbis I interviewed was their unbridled gratitude towards hundreds of people around them in Richmond, who had made phone calls of support and sent emails of condolence.

In their time of need and fear, it was obvious they were taking genuine comfort from those who had extended the arm of community across religious, ethnic and societal divides. Whether the support was coming from the RCMP cruisers outside their synagogue or communication from residents, MPs, MLAs, city councillors and leaders of other faiths, they embraced every gesture with open hearts and minds. There are moments of clarity in life — albeit all too scarce — when it becomes apparent that, once we strip away our religious beliefs, ethnicity, wealth (or lack thereof), we are all just people, most of us simply wanting the best for those we love.

The majority of Richmond’s multi-faith community can see past those deep-seated divides and throughout the year meet on each other’s “ground.” As is often the case, however, with the rest of human nature, it takes an incident of trauma or extreme adversity before the best characteristics in our species rise to the surface. Think, in particular, of the number of families you know — and it could even be yourself — where warring siblings can go decades without exchanging a single word…until someone they mutually care for passes away.

It is sad that events with a fatal outcome are often required before many people realize what truly matters. But, It is also heartening to hear it only takes a little scratch of the surface in Richmond to reveal the best traits in our community.

Do you support a tax increase to hire more ﬁreﬁghters in Richmond?

Nicky Phillips

Charity Knott

RETIRED

Yes, because I think ﬁre safety is a major issue. We have an increased population, and I think it’s important that we be able to serve the population as it increases. I really would support paying more tax for something like that.

Brian Howe

RECEPTIONIST

No. I think we should have more firefighters to protect the people in the city, but you don’t have to tax them more to get what they need. I think we are taxed enough. The government should be able to find funding for things they should be doing. It’s regarding the people that live here, and it’s about our safety.

Yes. I think it’s a good idea. It’s reasonable that the number of staff be commensurate with the growth of the population. Although increased technology makes ﬁreﬁghting better, you still need the staff. So I support tax increases for that. It’s a good cause.

Mayor may be I will be key to progress watching Dear Editor, As a candidate from the RITE/ RCA coalition, I am truly excited our teammates Michael Wolfe and Kelly Greene have made it onto Richmond City Council. Although the makeup of the new council ensures the protection of Richmond farmland, it does not secure enough support for other changes. Voters have shown a deep desire for change, yet, the composition of our new council still favours the status quo. After a chaotic and frustrating civic election, it is obvious voters want council to make the following changes: 1. Bring in a council code of conduct to limit conflict of interest on council and introduce an accessible and simplified council voting record; 2. Consult and increase the number of firefighters and police officers to the recommended level;

the city

government for more co-ops, affordable and specialized housing to improve housing affordability;

The Editor, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me in the recent election, and those who offered their support and time, especially Ed, Roger, John, Ken, Rick and Brenda and Kerry.

4. Introduce sign bylaws to ensure all public and commercial signs have sufﬁcient English to foster cross-cultural communication and interaction; 5. Direct the Richmond Business Development Ofﬁce and partner with Richmond Chamber of Commerce to reduce red tape for local businesses.

While I was ultimately unsuccessful, I did place third.

There are plenty of other issues that also need to be addressed.

Hopefully, the next generation will step up and take over the management of the city.

I hope councillors have noted the community’s appetite for change and will ﬁnd ways to collaborate with each other.

In the meantime, we will continue to review the ﬁnancial transactions of the city, the Oval, Lulu Island Energy Company and VROX/VRX, support taxation of those evading taxes by building in the ALR and support a moratorium on ALR building permits and in-ﬁll housing demolition permits.

If councillors cannot ﬁnd ways to work together, Mayor Malcolm Brodie will have the ﬁnal call to determine whether our city maintains the status quo or takes progressive strides towards much-needed change. Only time will tell.

Could this project not have avoided this tree destruction which mitigates the concrete hardness of the area? This tree planting only occured some 20 years ago. Also, this entire road was repaved for the 2010 Olympics. Where is the planning needed to avoid these expensive builds one year and then tear down a few years later? Trees were also being cut down at the BC WorkSafe complex. We need more trees not less. Why are mature trees not essential living objects for conservation and not just objects that can be cut down each time they get in the way of yet another road, sewer or water project? Are we not in an era where we need tree protection at all costs vs just building another linear engineering project that seems to forget about global warming? As we cut down healthy trees in our local urban forest, Richmond is notorious for allowing city planted trees to die in wholesale numbers. I documented the wholesale destruction of trees on development lots and our boulevard last fall and attached many photos of the problem. Nothing was done to replace those trees.

Shop at Nordstrom to pay the CPP? Uh, like, yeah! In the second (financial) quarter of this year, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board increased its holdings in Nordstrom Inc. by 139.7%. The CPPIB purchased 79,963 shares and so it now owns 137,200 shares of Nordstrom (worth over $7 million). Nordstrom currently pays a dividend of about $1.49 per share, so our pension plan receives about $204,000 per year from Nordstrom dividends. So I pledge to continue shopping there (my wife probably will agree with me) to help our CPP! By the way, it doesn’t stop with our Canada Pension Plan. Bank of Montreal owns over $50 million in Nordstrom stock. Prudential Financial owns over $24 million in Nordstrom stock. Keep Nordstrom in mind for your Christmas shopping, because it’s nice to know that they now contribute to our CPP!

Help those who help homeless Dear Editor, Oct. 18 marked Richmond’s 10th annual Community Connect event (formerly Homeless Connect) at St. Alban Anglican Church. Thirty Richmond service agencies and their volunteers came together to welcome over 80 guests who are homeless, at risk or in precarious circumstances. They enjoyed numerous free services such as haircuts, foot care, dental hygiene, ﬂu shots and bike repair as well as enjoying a pancake breakfast and a nutritious luncheon. Guests were also provided with clothing and footwear collected from thoughtful Richmond residents and take-away nutritional snacks and hygiene kits. Local community service agencies on site provided information and referrals to income assistance, addiction and mental health services and employment services. Guests could also take away a professional photograph, which was a big hit.

Richmond Community Connect would not happen without the help and support of community members, organizations, service clubs and businesses. On behalf of the organizers, we thank all of them. On behalf of the local community services that provide help to people experiencing homelessness yearround, we would ask that they be remembered as we approach the holiday giving season. These organizations respond with support to individual needs of the people they serve year round, and often there are unanticipated needs that come to their attention as a result. The organizations are: St. Alban Anglican Church; Richmond Salvation Army; Turning Point Recovery Society; CHIMO Community Services and the Richmond Food Bank. Contact them directly for information on how to make a donation.

PR is modern system for modern times I support prop rep (PR) because: •Fairness: Richmond has four MLAs, all Liberal. Yet, in the last election 52 per cent of the people did not vote Liberal. That must change. •More representative: More points of view and interests will inform government decisions. For 10 years, the Liberals froze welfare rates and support for the handicapped, because, “Those people don’t vote for us.” That is wrong! Today, the Interior and North have little representation on the government side. That, too is wrong! •Civility: Under PR, the successful candidates during election campaigns and the effective MLAs once elected, must cooperate, seek consensus and be respectful of each other. •No extremists: Changing to proportional representation is to take pre-emptive action, lest a Donald Trump or Doug Ford take power in Victoria. •Stability: Under PR a change in government does not bring in a whole new lot. Political change tends to be modest, incremental, less polarizing. •Honesty: The old system induces politicians to build bigtent parties with promises for all, which cannot be delivered, leaving everyone disappointed. The focus will shift from spin and style to platforms, policies and principles. PR is a modern system for modern times.

Swept away Dear Editor, The street sweeper just went by, which would normally be good with so many leaves on the ground. However, it’s 9 a.m. on garbage day and the street is full of blue boxes and compost bins, so the sweeper is largely just tooling down the middle of the street. Garbage pickup time is ﬁxed. You’d think the department scheduling sweeping would plan around garbage days.

‘Predatory’ abuser gets one year ing sentence, the minimum being 90 days and the maximum two years.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

(Warning, story contains graphic material) A former school teacher and church volunteer has been jailed for one year after spending a year grooming a young teenage boy for sex. Bernard Michael Macht was sentenced at Richmond Provincial Court Monday morning. As the sentence was passed, the victim’s mother — who sat shaking throughout the proceedings — clapped, held her head in her hands and looked to the ceiling. Macht previously pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the boy between Jan. 1, 2017 and Feb. 1, 2018, in Richmond by inviting the child into sexual contact with him on numerous occasions. Macht, who was 54 at the time of the offence, preyed on the boy for about a year, after befriending his family and gaining their trust through a community organization. Despite his repeated attempts to engage in sexual acts with the boy — at the swimming pool, at Macht’s house, in his car and on road trips — his victim continually refused, before he ﬁnally alerted his mother.

“Repressed homosexuality and attraction to youth boys are not connected…I draw a bright line here. “It has now happened twice and needs to be addressed.” Oulton said there was a need in this case for “denunciation and deterrence,” given Macht “abused a position of trust.” Bernard Macht was a church volunteer and school teacher. Linkedin photo The court also heard Monday morning how Macht had lost his teaching license in 1996 after allegedly engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a student, which involved showing the child obscene material, including masturbation and child molestation. Before jailing Macht, Judge Jennifer Oulton took issue with assertions in Macht’s presentence report that his previous “repressed homosexuality” had led him to be sexually attracted to young boys. Macht suggested now that he’s openly gay, his attraction to male youths would diminish. “I have difﬁculty with this, I don’t see the connection,” said Judge Oulton, while pass-

“This involved planning and deliberation and systematic manipulation over an extended period of time,” Oulton added. “(Macht) persisted in the face of clear discomfort and refusals (from the victim) and asked him to keep it a secret. “There was extensive grooming and attempts to normalize (the offending behaviour) and he lost his teaching job for behaviour in this spectrum.” Oulton added Macht “lacks understanding of the offence and minimized it by making reference to his repressed homosexuality and an attraction to youth.” At the same time, Oulton said she took into account the fact that Macht pleaded guilty from the outset, has taken counselling and has offered to ﬁnancially recompense the victim and his family. However, she said Macht was an “intelli-

gent man” whose conduct was “predatory” and that he was regarded by his victim as a “father figure.” As such, Oulton said a message “must go out to those tempted to engage” in such acts. As well as his one-year jail term, Macht was sentenced to three years’ probation on his release, during which he will not be allowed within 100 metres of a school or swimming pool or allow himself to come into direct contact with persons under the age of 16. He is also banned from possessing pornographic material and was ordered to provide DNA samples for the sex offenders’ registry. The court heard last month how married father-of-two Macht got into the boy’s life by picking him up from school, taking him swimming and on road trips. Macht even arranged for the boy to stay overnight at his house in Richmond. All the time, the teenager and his mom thought Macht, who provided the family with cellphones, just wanted to help them out and even described him as a “confidant.” Crown counsel Michelle Peacock told the court previously how the boy considered Macht, now a software sales director, a “father-figure” in his life.

Drive-by droppings cause a stink After many months of complaining to anyone and everyone that could possibly be responsible for cleaning the bridge, Fleck and Arseneault ﬁnally got word that the airport is in charge of the bridge’s maintenance.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

“The airport seems to be the go-to people, but they said maintenance would be set up...then nothing,” added Fleck.

If you’ve lived in the Lower Mainland long enough, you’ll have grown used to media reports of “drive-by shootings.”

“I’ve given up reporting it all the time, because nothing happens. One time it was scattered along the railing, as if it had been thrown at high speed. Maybe we need to put a camera out there or something? But there’s not much you can do, I guess, if someone wants to be a jerk.”

A regular occurrence on the Dinsmore Bridge — although less fatal, but quite revolting — has a two-letter difference and is raising the ire of some Richmond residents. For reasons beyond the imagination of all concerned, for the last 18 months, someone appears to be throwing plastic bags full of human excrement from a moving vehicle onto the bridge, which connects Gilbert Road to Sea Island.

Clean it up “when we report it, that would be a good start,” suggested Arseneault. A spokesperson for YVR thanked Fleck and Arseneault for bringing the situation to their attention, adding they “understand their frustration.

The practice has left a number of workers from the nearby industrial estate scratching their heads as to why and pointing their ﬁngers as to whose job it is to clean it up.

Michael Fleck and Tami Arseneault have had enough of someone throwing excrement onto the Dinsmore Bridge. Alan Campbell photo

“Maybe it’s from someone’s Porta Potty, who knows? I’m not certain it’s human (feces), but it looks too big to be from a dog or other animals,” said Tami Arseneault, when asked how she knows it’s not coming from dogs. Maybe someone is “holding a grudge against the city,” added Michael Fleck, who has been complaining to the City of Richmond and YVR for a year and a half. “I don’t really know. What I do know is that, the other day, I drove my son to the airport about 5 a.m. and there was nothing there. I drove home an hour or so later, there was maybe six bags on the bridge. It’s disgusting.” Arseneault said it usually happens overnight, as she drives home in the afternoon, with nothing on the bridge, and drives

back early the next morning to see bags full of excrement strewn, sometimes burst, along the sidewalk. “There has been suggestions it’s from a homeless camp down the river there,” said Fleck, who walks a circuit most lunchtimes over the river and back over the Dinsmore Bridge. “But why would you walk all the way down here and dump bags of it on the bridge? It makes no sense.” Fleck said that, 18 months ago, he got “so disgusted to the point where I had to do something.”

City of Richmond

“...YVR has received a few notiﬁcations of general garbage on the Dinsmore Bridge. This bridge does fall under YVR’s jurisdiction and as such, our maintenance crews regularly patrol the areas. In response to these separate concerns, they were dispatched for immediate clean up.” However, the spokesperson said in a statement that the airport understands “this is a larger, ongoing issue and one that we take seriously. “We have taken several immediate actions to address the situation, including expanding the duties of our contractor responsible for maintenance patrols on the Dinsmore Bridge. We have also notiﬁed our local RCMP detachment. “We will continue to monitor the situation to ensure the cleanliness of the roadways and grounds that we manage.”

Asbestos-removing machine stolen Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

A thief or thieves who stole an asbestosremoving machine from a Richmond worksite might be getting more than they bargained for as police warn handling the machine could put you at risk of exposure to the harmful substance. Police ofﬁcers responded around 9 a.m. Tuesday to a report of a theft at a demolition site in the 8100 block of Westminster Hwy. Workers had brought in some industrial equipment to help take down a building, and one of those pieces, an asbestos-removing OmniAire 2000C was stolen. “Police are asking the public to avoid contact with the machine without proper safety equipment,” Hwang said in a news release. Asbestos is a mineral that’s harmful to human health, but was manufactured into a ﬂuffy consistency and used to insulate buildings for much of the last century.

An OmniAire 2000C machine was stolen. Richmond RCMP photo Inhaling it can cause potentially deadly diseases such as lung cancer. The importing, sale and use of asbestos is now prohibited by the federal government. Richmond RCMP are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 604-278-1212 and quote police ﬁle #2018-34877.

RCMP: No evidence of vote-buying Richmond RCMP announced on Oct. 19 that it has found no evidence that merits a criminal charge in the city’s pre-election vote-buying scandal. The RCMP received two allegations of voter manipulation on Chinese-language social media app WeChat before the 2018 municipal election, and its serious crimes unit started an investigation soon after. According to police, the “subject or subjects involved with the allegations have cooperated with police” and the Richmond

Chief Electoral Ofﬁcer has been updated throughout the investigation with respect to its ﬁndings. “To date, the Richmond RCMP has only received third party allegations of wrong doing in the election process,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “No individuals have come forward to the Richmond RCMP citing that they have been victimized in any matters related to the voting process.”

RCC’s recently re-elected city councillor Chak Au – who ran unsuccessfully for the BC NDP in last year’s provincial election — said he was “deeply concerned that there is a lack of understanding on what PR would do to my province and more importantly to the residents I represent in my city.”

With ballots on proportional representation already circulating across B.C., the Richmond Community Coalition (RCC) is putting its weight behind the “no” campaign. British Columbians are currently deciding on whether or not the province should switch to proportional representation (PR) or remain with the current ﬁrst-past-thepost (FPP) method of electing a government. Local municipal slate RCC – fresh from the city council and school board elections two weeks ago – is actively getting involved in the referendum debate and is hosting community meetings in the next four weeks to try and convince voters to stay with the status quo. In particular, the RCC will be explaining what it calls “the pitfalls” of PR and to help residents with their ballots, so that they have the opportunity to be part of the decision that will affect their lives. “This is more than just an idle political commitment,” said RCC president Rob Howard. “It’s clear that we need to have a more proactive relationship between the communities in our city. Proportional representation will create supersized ridings and we will lose even more connection with our provincial government. “Harmony begins at home and we will take this opportunity to connect with our

“Ballots are arriving in the mail, and I am getting calls from residents asking what it means and how they should respond. “Residents need to understand that PR will confer power on people they have not directly elected but are appointed by their parties. “Residents need to understand that people who might not live in Richmond or understand the diversity of our city will further disrupt the balance we work so hard to provide. “This will confer power on people not directly elected but appointed by their parties. This is not the democracy that first past the post gives us.” The RCC said it will reach out to generation X and millennial first time voters, ethnic communities, seniors, persons with disabilities, and all residents who “make up the fabric of our city to stay involved and help defeat a system, that (Premier John Horgan) says requires a ‘leap of faith’ followed by ‘just trust us,’ as they launch a flawed and unfair plan to change history with only a 50 per cent plus one vote to keep the Green Party in line.”

Students vote differently Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

If Richmond students called the shots in the recent civic election, Malcolm Brodie would still be mayor, but council and school board would have looked slightly different. Just before Richmond’s election day, students took to their own polls to cast mock ballots for candidates running in the city. The election was part of Student Vote, a program run by CIVIX, which provides youth the opportunity to experience voting at a young age. Twenty-ﬁve of Richmond’s 48 schools reported their results. Malcolm Brodie still

held his lead with 6,608 votes out of 12,128 student votes cast for mayor. Roy Sakata held his second place position with 1,988 votes, with Hong Guo in third at 1,176 votes. However, things would shift on council slightly if Richmond’s students were in charge, it seems. Incumbents Carol Day, Chak Au, Bill McNulty and Alexa Loo, along with newcomer Kelly Greene, would still all have seats on council. However, Derek Dang would have kept his seat and been joined by Sunny Ho and Andy Hobbs to bump out both Linda McPhail and Harold Steves and to deny Michael Wolfe a seat.

board, students still voted for Heather Larson, Richard Lee and Sandra Nixon but chose Ivan Pak, James Li, Jeffrey Smith and Alice S. Wong over Ken Hamaguchi, Norm Goldstein, Donna Sargent and Debbie Tablotney. Votes were cast across Richmond schools Thursday and Friday, prior to the election. “Student Vote provides youth under the voting age with an opportunity to experience the voting process ﬁrsthand and build the habits of active and engaged citizenship,” CIVIX, the non-partisan national charity which organizes Student Vote says. “The program is an excellent way to create a ‘teachable moment’ out of the ofﬁcial election.”

In B.C., flu vaccines are provided free to many, including those who are at a high risk of serious illness from the flu such as young children, pregnant women, elderly, people with certain medical conditions or those who may transmit the flu to those who are at a high risk.

Fireﬁghters can’t keep up simple as that,” said Steves.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

As the number of people and condominiums in Richmond continues to grow, the Richmond Firefighters Association is warning there are not enough firefighters to keep everyone safe. “It is very concerning to us. The population in the city has grown by tens of thousands of people since 1990, but staffing levels have almost remained the same,” said Cory Parker, president of the Richmond Firefighters Association. According to BC Census, Richmond’s population grew by 36 per cent between 1991 and 2016. However, in that same time period, the number of emergency response firefighters in the city has only increased by five per cent, or 10 firefighters for a current total of 201. Moreover, the daily minimum staffing has remained at 33 since 1991, according to the city. “We are not able to respond as quickly now, and we are experiencing a service reduction,” said Parker. For comparison, Parker points to Burnaby, which is similar, but has about 35,000 more people.

will only add to the strain, according to Parker. “There are 130 high-rise buildings over 35 metres tall in Richmond right now. That’s not including any that are proposed or smaller apartment buildings with four or six floors,” said Parker. “But current levels of staffing don’t even meet the minimum numbers required for a single high-rise event.” Along with more condos, traffic has also increased, which has made it harder for fire trucks to get around. “It slows down our response time, and it’s only going to get worse,” he said, adding that one solution is to have additional locations where fire trucks are placed to get to incidents faster. Long-time councillors Harold Steves and Bill McNulty both agree that Richmond’s fire department needs a staffing increase. “We are understaffed in three areas: the fire department, the police department and bylaw officers. We need to hire more people, it’s as

“They have the same number of fire halls, but their daily minimum staffing is 51, that’s 18 more than us. That can make a big difference.” Meanwhile, plans are in place to significantly increase in the number of high rises in the city centre, which

He said there is nothing wrong with density within the city, “as long as we keep up with services, but we are not. “The city has caught up with some services, such as community facilities, but firefighters, police and bylaw officers come under general taxes, and we haven’t topped up for that.” McNulty said the understaffing issue was highlighted during the bog fire last summer, when Richmond firefighters had to get help from nearby municipalities to handle another fire incident, which broke out at the same time. Why Richmond has failed to keep pace with population growth in regards to the fire department, both councillors point it to “keeping taxes down.” “I think we have tightened our belts too much. Our focus has been on keeping taxes down, and we haven’t been hiring (enough) people,” said Steves. “We may have to have taxes increased, we may have to cut some projects that are not quite as important, or we may need to get more volunteers so we spend less city

OUR FEATURE ichael Sachs cast his mind back to a “heightened state of awareness” Saturday, when an RCMP cruiser was parked outside The Bayit synagogue at No. 3 Road and Steveston Highway, as there was at all three of the city’s Jewish places of worship.

“This is a high trafﬁc area, so we were being a little cautious of who’s coming into the parking lot, for example,” said Sachs.

KEEPING VIGIL

Just a few hours previous, Sachs had learned of the terrible tragedy in a small Jewish community in Pittsburgh, where a gunman walked into a synagogue of around 70 people, shot dead 11 and seriously injured six others, while yelling “All Jews must die.”

STORY BY

The scene, prior to the gunman entering, was eerily similar to that of The Bayit on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, where between 60 and 70 members of Richmond’s orthodox congregation were attending, many of them families with children. “I was horriﬁed. Even though this was happening in a different country on the other side of the continent, in the Jewish community, this hits us deep,” Sachs, The Bayit’s president, told the Richmond News. “We always have dealt with and still deal with anti-Semitism; it’s below the surface, but when it comes above the surface, it’s very impactful and painful for all of us.” For the 20 to 25 children at The Bayit on Saturday, it was a “different vibe” than usual, revealed Sachs. “They wondered why the police were here.

They were made aware. We don’t go into all the details. But many of them will have to deal with the reality that these sorts of things happen to the Jewish community throughout the world. We are resilient...All this does is remind us to be extra vigilant.” Mentally, said Sachs, fellow members of the

City Board Amendment to the Consolidated 5 Year Financial Plan (2018-2022) Bylaw No. 9800 The Community Charter requires that Council adopt a 5 Year Financial Plan each year prior to the adoption of the Annual Property Tax Rates Bylaw. The Community Charter also allows for amendments to the 5 Year Financial Plan. Subsequent to the adoption of the City’s Consolidated 5 Year Financial Plan (20182022) Bylaw No. 9800 on March 12, 2018, additional opportunities and projects have emerged. The current expenditure bylaw does not include these amounts. Therefore the City is proposing to amend its Consolidated 5 Year Financial Plan Bylaw.

Jewish community immediately insert themselves into tragic incidents such as Pittsburgh. “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, what happened? Oh my gosh, who do I know? And, oh my gosh, that could happen here,’” he said. “One of the ﬁrst things I thought of was getting the RCMP involved with upping the level of security at synagogues in Richmond.” The Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, said Sachs, stepped up and asked law enforcement agencies in the Lower Mainland to up the level of security. The federation, according to Sachs, has its own security consultant, who has been working with the region’s synagogues to ensure security protocols and systems are in place. “This started about a year ago and it’s an ongoing thing,” added Sachs. “It’s always at the back of our heads that something like this could happen. But we are very lucky to live in Richmond’s multi-cultural and harmonious community. We have elected ofﬁcials in Richmond who care about the Jewish community, as well as others. “Our relationship with these people, and our neighbours, such as the South Arm United Church over the road, helps us feel safe.” Sachs said “an emotional” service held Sunday night in Vancouver to remember those killed and injured in Pittsburgh attracted more than 1,000 people. “We have received many messages from the community, from politicians, friends, the RCMP, other faiths...” he said. “It really is one of those situations that you sit back and recognize that, although this was a devastating event, it also shows the level of humanity that exists in the world.

“It gives us comfort that, as a whole, Canada is with us and the actions of one individual will not destroy our community.” The leaders of Richmond’s three Jewish congregations — The Bayit, Beth Tikvah and Chabad of Richmond — met with the RCMP Tuesday night to discuss security.

any Jews observe the tradition of not using technology on the Sabbath, a practice that led to Beth Tikvah’s Rabbi Adam Rubin beginning his usual service unaware of what had unfolded in Pittsburgh.

And, depending on how closely members of his congregation adhere to the Sabbath rule, some in his flock would also have been blissfully unaware. “A police officer, who is a member of our congregation, came in the middle (of the prayer service) to let me know what had happened and to let us know they were going to be around,” Rabbi Rubin told the News. “I have to say, the RCMP has been remarkable, incredibly responsive. And the support from the surrounding faith community, Muslims, Christians, for example, has been amazing, truly amazing.” Asked about tightening security, Rubin said his synagogue has to walk a fine line between being safe and having an open-door policy. He revealed, however, that Beth Tikvah is considering a fob entry system. The synagogue in Pittsburgh was understood to have a fob system in operation, which reportedly wasn’t switched on Saturday due to it being the Sabbath. Rubin told the News that, in the event of an emergency, technology is “absolutely” permitted on a Saturday.

COMMUNITY MATTERS For the betterment of the community Tina Lee CEO T&T Supermarket

T&T GIVES BACK IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL HEALTH CARE

s a company with a deep presence in the Richmond community, T&T Supermarkets has led many shoppers into their stores. This time, they are leading in a different way. From September 28 to October 28, 2018, T&T Supermarkets matched in-store donations made by customers, dollar for dollar, up to $70,000, in support of new life-saving, medical imaging equipment at Richmond Hospital. For Tina Lee, CEO of T&T Supermarkets, the generous act is a way of giving back to the community that formed a big part of her upbringing. “Richmond Hospital is in a city we care a lot about and we are certainly happy to do our part in ensuring that the funds we raise go to new medical imaging equipment that is desperately needed there,” says Lee.

Help support the health of Richmond residents and make a donation to help those in need of care. If you would like more information about making a donation, please visit richmondhospitalfoundation.com

or call us at 604.244.5252

For Richmond residents who can remember, T&T Supermarkets ﬁrst store in Richmond was at President’s Plaza on No.3 and Cambie road and for Lee, that store provided her with fond memories. “I started bagging groceries there at 13 and I would always compete with my younger sister, Tiffany, to see who could bag groceries the fastest.” T&T Supermarkets has had deep roots in Richmond for 25 years and has seen the brand blossom into 24 stores across Canada, with two more stores opening in the near future. With the recent opening of their new ﬂagship store at Lansdowne Mall – bringing their total number of T&T stores in Richmond to three – for Lee, it makes perfect sense to celebrate the diversity and heritage here and expand in Richmond.

Q A

“We see this big need for connection and nostalgia in our customers. Our brands, products and ﬂavours pop off the shelves, and that really helps to bring customers back to where they’re from,” says Lee. “We really take pride helping others to understand culture through food. Introducing Asian cuisine to mainstream Canadians has also been incredibly rewarding and important for the growth of our business.” Lee says she is inspired to give back to the community that has given so much to their company. “We are hoping that this gift to Richmond Hospital will encourage other business owners in Richmond to make an impact and help drive improvements at Richmond Hospital.”

How can you and your company get involved in improving health care in Richmond? Take an active leadership role to support Richmond Hospital. Contact Richmond Hospital Foundation to learn more about sponsorship opportunities to help purchase new medical equipment, improve patient care services and help save lives right here at home.

promote health?

First we should look at what the definition of health is, and according to Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, “health is a state of optimal physical, mental and social well being”, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. We cannot base our health on the absence of symptoms alone. For example, disease processes can be ongoing in the body without symptoms, we can see this with tooth decay, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc.

A more constructive thought presented by Hanse Selye was “the ability of your body to accurately interpret and appropriately adapt to lifestyle stresses” is what determines our level of health. The spine and nervous system are what control your body’s ability to interpret and respond to its surroundings. As chiropractors, our job is to reduce or eliminate interference to the nervous system by detecting and correcting spinal subluxations, misalignments in the spine. Subluxations may be present without symptoms such as pain, muscle tension, numbness or tingling being expressed. However, there is still nerve compression or irritation affecting the nerves wherever they travel; muscles, ligaments, or organ systems.

Dr. Carol Reddin

604-207-9050 #230-7480 Westminster Hwy. Richmond, B.C.

The affected regions will not be functioning at their optimum. Chiropractors remove interference to the nervous system by providing adjustments to correct subluxations. When we do this, the body is in a better position to express its optimal health and adapt to its environment. We often treat our teeth better than our spines by getting regular dental check-ups, yet it is our spine which houses our nervous system that controls our entire body. We need to make getting our spines checked for proper function a part of our lifelong journey towards better health regardless of our expression of symptoms. Contact us for your complimentary consultation.

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?

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.

The simple answer is Yes! It affects multiple levels of insurance from your home, strata, automobile and even commercial insurance policies Bill C45 came into effect on October 17, 2018 making non–medical cannabis now legal. The government of Canada & province of BC now allow for the growth of up to four cannabis plants per household. These plants cannot be grown in a space that is visible from a public place, like parks, streets, sidewalks, sports fields, and K-12 school properties As each insurance provider has taken a difference stance on this new change, it is important that you contact your broker to review your coverage’s and any policy exclusions surrounding cannabis.

Suzanne Lima,

Bill C46, will look to amend the provisions of the Criminal Code that deals with offences and procedures relating to drug-impaired driving. This change provides authorities with more tools to remove drug impaired drivers from the road and deter drug-affected driving.

Hi Sid, Absolutely. Leaves become a problem for most complexes every fall. The drains in your parking areas are called “catch basins.” The job of the catch basin is to collect debris at its bottom, such as dirt, sand and decomposing leaves. When catch basins become too full, the solids which are supposed to remain at the bottom, rise up to the top and plug up the horizontal pipes leaving your catch basin which carry away rain water to the city’s storm sewer. If your catch basins are being regularly emptied, and leaves are creating problems for you in the fall, it is likely that there aren’t “leaf guards” installed on the horizontal pipes, before they leave the catch basins. Leaf guards allow the leaves to sit on top of the water in the catch basin, while allowing the water to flow out of the catch basin freely. As the leaves become water logged, they get heavy and sink to the bottom of the catch basin where they decompose. If you’re not sure if you have leaf guards installed, please give us a call and we’ll be happy to come out and have a look. It’s a low cost solution, to a very common problem. - Rob

Q: How long should full plate dentures last? This is a multifactorial answer. Foremost it depends A: on how well you take care of them. Subsequently diet; the types of foods you eat significantly impact on the wear of your teeth. Course foods tend to wear out the chewing surfaces at a much quicker rate. White mint candies that have a sandy feeling coating are highly abrasive and destructive to artificial teeth. Your particular physiology can affect your fitting surfaces. For example, osteoporosis can affect the fitting surfaces by creating a faster rate of change to your underlying bone structures. Numerous other factors may also play into these scenarios. I create dentures to last at least seven to ten years using high quality products; dependent on the above conditions.

can do at any time. A Will should be reviewed periodically to see if changes or updates are necessary. A new Will revokes and cancels any previous Will that you have made. The second way to make a change to your Will is by way of a formal written document called a “Codicil”, whereby you can change, delete or add clauses to your original Will. To be legal, the Codicil must be signed and witnessed in the same manner as a Will, as required by the Wills Act of British Columbia, and must refer to the original Will that is being amended. The decision is whether to make a new Will or prepare a Codicil. If the Codicil is lost, destroyed, misplaced, etc., the original Will with all of its previous clauses will stand.

Tech leaders aim to inspire women at Richmond luncheon marketing tools to realtors, and she grew it from a bootstrapping startup to a company with 86 employees in ﬁve years.

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

Now, she wants to see more applications from women for the jobs she’s trying to ﬁll.

Three women who’ve led Metro Vancouver tech companies from startups to success stories are gathering at a women in leadership panel in Richmond Thursday to share their wisdom and inspire future leaders.

“We need to put ourselves out there, and we need to rise to the challenge. Because that’s the only way that we’re going to continue to be seen,” she said. “Stand up for yourself … believe in yourself.”

The Richmond Chamber of Commerce is hosting the third annual event, and chamber chair Barbara Tinson said starting initiatives to help women succeed in business is something she’s passionate about.

She referenced a 2008 report that used internal research at Hewlett Packard to suggest women apply for jobs only if they meet all the requirements, but men respond to job postings as long as they feel they meet 60 per cent of the requirements.

“We’re looking to inspire as well as educate,” she told the Richmond News. “It’s always really great to hear somebody’s success story and how they did it.” Although women now make up the majority of Canadian university graduates, they’re still underrepresented in senior management roles. According to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, women comprise of just less than 20 per cent of board members on Canada’s Fortune 500 companies. Cybele Negris is the president, CEO and co-founder of Webnames, a tech ﬁrm that provides businesses with custom URLs and branded emails, among other things. One barrier to women’s achievement that Negris has struggled with herself is “imposter syndrome.” She describes it as a feeling that, no matter how much you’ve achieved or how much you’re earning, you still don’t feel like you belong.

She added some of that onus for change is on employers—perhaps there’s a better word than “requirement” to use in job postings, for example.

(From left) Cybele Negris, president, CEO and co-founder of Webnames, Rebecca Troelstra, COO and founder of Avenue HQ and Laurie Schultz, president and CEO of ACL. Photo (left) by Alfonso Arnold But, in a roundabout way, she wonders if those feelings have fueled her success by forcing her to overprepare. She recalls her ﬁrst meeting on the board of the Royal Canadian Mint reading hundreds of pages of documents to know the material inside and out. “Feel the fear, but do it anyway,” is her advice for approaching challenges. Students from all 10 Richmond high schools and Kwantlen Polytechnic University have been invited to the luncheon, and Negris said she’s most excited to connect with them. “Young girls need more role models and in STEM ﬁelds, and growing up I

didn’t have those role models for myself,” she said. Her tip to young people heading into their careers? Let go of fears about the type of job you’ll find, since fields are always changing. “When I grew up the internet didn’t exist … I did my term papers at university on an electric typewriter,” she said. “So I had no idea that I would be running and owning a domain registration company 18 years later.” Rebecca Troelstra, COO and founder of Avenue HQ, will also be sharing her success story. Her firm supplies online

She also wants to see more companies follow Avenue HQ’s example to be transparent with salaries on job postings. “A lack of transparency in that area can lead to a really awkward interview process,” she said. She says her company always posts salary ranges on job openings, and has a fairly open scale for earning as employees move up the ranks, so they can know what they expect to make as they grow. Laurie Schultz, CEO of ACL, a ﬁrm that provides audit software to public and private organizations, will also be on the panel. She did not respond to an interview request.

IKEA ‘TaskRabbit’ coming to Richmond to assemble your furniture This November, IKEA Richmond is gearing up to welcome a new furniture assembly service or shoppers throughout the Lower Mainland.

New ABA team opens season at Oval against Vegas this weekend Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

A new era for the Vancouver Dragons begins this weekend in their new home. After dominating the Minor League Basketball Association a year ago, the semipro franchise has moved onto the mammoth American Basketball Association where it will open play this weekend against with a doubleheader against the Las Vegas Royals at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The teams will be at 7 p.m. on Saturday and then again on Sunday afternoon (1 p.m.). Those are two of seven home games that will be played at the Oval after the Dragons split time between Langley and Surrey last season. The ABA’s Far West Region features 24 teams alone. “There wasn’t much competition for us in the MLBA last year and this league is really strong,” said Dragons head coach Dikran Zabunyan, who ran the team’s ﬁrst formal practice on Sunday at the Oval. “This is a world class facility and the location is ideal for us too.”

The recipe for Vancouver’s success a year ago was plenty of hometown standouts who had thrived at the university and collegiate levels. Some even came back from pro ball in Europe to play including team MVP Levon Kendall who led Kitsilano to three straight B.C. titles before earning a scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh.

It was then pro stops in the Phiippines and Vietnam before coming home. “I was going to take the year off but the Dragons are here and I couldn’t be happier. It’s going to be fun playing in front of my family and friends,” said Crellin who is a two-time Dolphin Park slam dunk champion. “We have a great mix here where some like myself can learn from and others who are striving to take their ca-

The Dragons’ move to the ABA has generated even more interest from talent on the entire west coast. Former NBA seven-footer Soumaila Samake will be in the line-up this weekend, as will Javonte Bird who played for the ABA’s San Diego Kings last season. The guard enjoyed an AllAmerican NAIA career at Northwest Christian University in Eugene, Oregon before playing pro in Italy. “It’s an exciting and fastpaced league with lots of dunks and threes,” smiled Byrd who moved to Vancouver with his girlfriend last month and works as a caregiver when he is not on the court. “This facility is amazing and it’s going to be a lot of fun playing in here.”

Thunder rolls through town The Thunder came rolling through town on the weekend with a distinctive local ﬂavour.

The National Ringette League’s B.C. Thunder swept a four-game series from the Black Gold Rush from Edmonton — winning two games at the Richmond Ice Centre and the other two in South Delta. That leaves the Thunder with a 5-1-01 record with a pair of upcoming road trips to Alberta — Nov. 10-11 against the Calgary Rath then off to Edmonton Nov. 24-25 to face the ﬁrst place WHAM and the Black Rush again. The NRL was launched 2004 as a showcase for the top women’s talent in the country. The league currently features 15 teams with the Thunder part of the Western Division. The Atlantic At-

tack are the reigning champions.

Behind the B.C. bench is Troy Takasaki in his ﬁrst season as head coach. He was hired last April, shortly after a decorated campaign with Richmond Ringette’s U19 team which culminated with a gold medal win at the Western Canadian Championships in Saskatoon. He had been coaching at the U19 level in Richmond for the past 18 season and was named B.C. Ringette’s coach-of-the-year. Competing in the NRL is much-more complicated than just promoting players from his successful U19 squad. The Thunder’s roster ranges from 18 to 42 years of age and features talent from throughout B.C. and beyond. There are Finnish imports Salla Naakka and Petra

Big night for Richmond boxers in Langley Richmond’s Pack of Wild Dogs Combat Club continues to thrive in the boxing ring. On Friday night at the Cascades Casino in Langley, reigning Combsport Amateur City Boxing lightweight champion Elroy Furto won a dominating ﬁve round deci-

The roster does include two rookies — Takasaki’s daughter Hailey and Emma Paradis — two standout players in last year’s run to the Western Canadian title. Paradis was added for the post-season after playing for Fraser Valley. Takasaki scored her ﬁrst NRL goal on the weekend and now has seven points, making a nice adjustment to the league’s blistering tempo. She will also be playing for Team B.C. at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer next February.

Rookies lead Sockeyes to 4th straight win The Richmond Sockeyes talented rookie class was on full display Sunday night in leading the club to its fourth straight win.

Freshman talent combined for eight points, including four goals, in a 5-2 victory over the Ridge Meadows Flames at Minoru Arenas. The result gives the Sockeyes a 12-3-1-1 record and a tie for top spot in the overall Paciﬁc Junior Hockey League stand-

ings with North Vancouver.

Marcus Pantazis showed why he is an early candidate for the league’s top rookie award with a spectacular second period goal. The recently turned 18-yearold, who played Major Midget for the Greater Vancouver Canadians last season, is now seventh in league scoring with 23 points in 17 games. That’s six points clear of Langley’s Adam Nobes —

the only other rookie among the league’s top 20 scorers.

It was Pantazis ‘ second game winning goal in three nights after providing the difference with just 10 seconds left in a 2-1 home ice victory over Mission City. Ross Zerdin, 18, enjoyed his biggest night in his brief career with Richmond, scoring twice and adding an assist against the Flames. Seventeen-year-old Isaac Alvardo beat the buzzer for his team’s fourth goal to close out the second period scoring, while veteran Trevor Townsend also found the net. Craig Schouten, also 17, chipped in with a pair of helpers. Goaltender Jeremy Kelleway picked up his 11th win in 15 starts and now has a 1.67 goals against average and .947 save percentage.

Marcus Pantazis celebrates his goal

The Sockeyes travelled to Aldergrove on Wednesday and will be back at Minoru tonight when the White Rock Whalers visit at 7 p.m.
