ould officers in a new, Richmond police force speak Chinese?

More Chinese-speaking seniors in Richmond should make a bigger effort to speak English.

And more English language teachers are needed in the city for Chinese seniors to learn one of Canada’s official tongues more efficiently.

These questions and concerns were just some of the issues raised Friday by the Chinese community during a 90-minute long meeting on community safety hosted by businessman Peter Liu at a restaurant in Golden Village.

Just under 100 people — all but three, including guest speaker Coun. Bill McNulty, were of Chinese ethnicity and most were in their senior years — turned out at the China

House Seafood Restaurant on Capstan Way. Liu organized the question and answer event, the first in a series, to bridge the language barrier between the Chinese community and city council, saying there are simply too many people in the community who don’t speak English and are not able to express their concerns to city hall.

“It was a very promising start, although it did take time to warm up,” said Liu of the event, where attendees were treated to free dim sum, courtesy of the China House sponsors.

“I’m actually organizing the next (meeting) right now. I’m hoping to get another councillor, MLA or an MP. The subject is likely still to be community safety, as it’s a hot topic.”

McNulty, who had the help of Liu translating on the day, said the event was “outstanding.”

“There were some very good issues; it was way better than anticipated,” he said.

“People’s concerns were expressed and I was impressed by the depth of the ques-

tions.”

Moments before the event kicked off, McNulty told the Richmond News how it’s important “We come to their ‘home;’ this is where they eat every day, Chinese people rarely eat at home,” in reference to holding the meeting in a Chinese restaurant.

As Chinese copies of the City of Richmond’s police survey, handed out by Liu, circulated the room, the Richmond News’ Facebook posting of an earlier story about the meeting was shown on the restaurant’s large TV screens.

Pointing to the screens and highlighting public comments on the Facebook page, Liu talked about the reaction to the story from the English-speaking community in Richmond.

In particular, he drew attention to one comment saying, “If you don’t like it, go back to your own country” and “We are too nice in Canada.”

Question marks over class expansion Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

I

f you thought everyone would be happy about a desperately needed $5 million extension to one of Richmond’s most crowded elementary schools, think again.

The B.C. government’s Minister of Education, Mike Bernier, rolled into town Friday to announce a jointly funded, eight-classroom addition to Anderson elementary on Alberta Road, near No. 4 Road and Granville Avenue.

Students are currently overflowing into portable classrooms, with enrolment at 523 — the school’s capacity is 401.

Work on the $5 million extension, half of which is being paid by Richmond School District, is expected to start this spring and take a year to complete — boosting the school’s capacity to 625 student spaces.

However, some teachers at the school have serious concerns over the type of classroom space planned and the fact that the gym and computer lab space is already bursting at the seams. So much so, that students are only getting one gym session per week. “(The extension) solves the problems of the portables on site, but adds no new space which is desperately needed; like gym space and computer lab space, to accommodate such a large school population,” one teacher,

who asked not to be named, told the Richmond News.

“The gym capacity, for instance, in an age when we need kids active, is a huge problem, (as is the) lack of access to technology.”

The Richmond Teachers’ Association (RTA) is well aware of its members’ issues at An-

derson and has been in talks with the school district.

In particular, there are worries about the proposed new classrooms being designed to open out into hallways to accommodate larger classes.

“We would agree that teaching spaces need

t be flexible, but we have concerns with to classes spilling out into the hallways,” said Al Klassen, RTA president.

“Yes, there are times when students are s into groups and sometimes they work in split t hallway as part of that. the “But the RTA’s point is that the room should be maximized in terms of teaching space.

The trend right now is to make the classrooms smaller and that’s an issue.”

Klassen said he’s also aware of the crush on gym time at Anderson, which is “already chock-a-block.”

“Putting in another addition to the school is problematic without having more gym and computer lab space,” added Klassen.

“We are working with the school district to ttry and resolve (these issues).”

Debbie Tablotney, Richmond School Board chair, said the district is looking at the extenssion as an “opportunity to build space for the future.” “(District) staff have met with the teachers and are in talks about (their concerns),” Tablotney told The News.

In terms of the configuration of the classroom spaces, Tablotney said some changes may be possible and it was “important to note…that the plans have yet to be finalized.”

Officers need to reflect our community: McNulty From page 1 He told the crowd how the official languages of Canada are English and French and how he encouraged his children to learn those languages.

“I would urge everyone in this community to learn English. Richmond is not a place for hatred,” Liu added.

When asked Monday why he chose to highlight the more negative comments on the News’ Facebook page, Liu said the comments were “not reflective of what we are trying to do.

“This is not a language issue; it’s a communication issue. Even if you speak English, it’s not easy to contact your councillor.”

When the time came for questions for McNulty, people seemed reluctant to go first, while some appeared more concerned with tucking into the sponsor’s veritable feast than the proceedings.

Henry Yao, who ran unsuccessfully for city council in 2014, asked in Chinese and in English why the city was even considering an independent police force.

“Over the years, we’ve not been happy with the RCMP — they do a good job — but they are accountable to Ottawa, 4,000 miles away,” answered McNulty.

A man calling himself Frank, who moved

from China 10 years ago, expressed in his own language how there are “more and more break-ins in Richmond.”

“I’ve asked police to increase patrols in certain areas,” replied McNulty.

In actual fact, according to the RCMP, break-ins were down across the city in 2015.

McNulty then urged people to join Block Watch and to call the RCMP immediately if they feel something suspicious is happening.

Yao also asked if police officers in an independent force would speak Chinese?

“Absolutely,” said McNulty, “we would need officers that reflect our community; be they Mandarin, Punjabi or Filipino.

“Our city is growing and more than 65 per cent speak Cantonese or Mandarin.”

One man — who introduced himself as a good friend of McNulty, while speaking in Chinese — urged all citizens in Richmond to study English.

He told of a neighbour who, after a misunderstanding, ended up getting handcuffed by police, because he didn’t speak English.

“Officers need to be trained to deal with multi-cultural issues, but people should make an effort to speak English,” McNulty said in reply.

“People have come to Canada and they need to embrace the country and the language. It’s a two-way street; when I go to

to communicate in a language the growing China, I try to speak Chinese.”

New Mountie’s pen mightier than the sword Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

S

ome old-fashioned police work was put to good use to help track down and apprehend a pair of men suspected of carrying out three daylight robberies on the same day.

The first incident happened around 7 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27 near No. 4 and Cambie roads, when a lone woman was awaiting a bus and a young, Caucasian male allegedly approached her and demanded her purse.

The woman refused and the suspect, perhaps spooked by a transit bus, fled in a white SUV. Fifteen minutes later, near Railway Avenue and Blundell Road, another lone woman had her purse grabbed from behind.

She sustained injuries after allegedly being dragged by the suspect while clutching her purse. The suspects stole her purse and cell phone and fled in a white SUV. The woman was taken to hospital and was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

At around 2:30 p.m., near Blundell and No. 2 roads, a Caucasian male suspect allegedly pulled up in a white SUV, exited alongside a lone female and stole her purse. Two suspects fled the scene in the vehicle.

Noting the similar descriptions of the suspects and their vehicle, one of Richmond’s newest patrol officers, Const. Max Levshuk, spotted the suspect vehicle near Trites and No. 2 roads.

“It was his first shift and he relied on some unconventional technology — an ordinary pen and the back of his hand as the paper,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

“Const. Levshuk had written the description of the vehicle and licence plate on the back of his hand to help him identify (it) in the event that it was discovered during his shift.

“He was teamed with veteran officer Const.

Calvin Leung, who is playing a big role in mentoring pro-active policing habits. The pairing was pretty successful.”

Shortly before 5:30 pm, the white SUV was spotted near Trites and No. 2 roads.

The vehicle was surrounded and officers tactically approached the vehicle.

One of the suspects fully complied with officers and was arrested without incident.

The second fled and, after a short foot chase, he was arrested in the 12000 block of Trites Road. Const. Leung fractured a finger as a result of apprehending the suspect.

“We are still investigating these cases, but this is a good example of knowing the area, knowing where to look, and mentoring the next generation of Richmond RCMP officers,” added Hwang.

Colton Buschau-Williams, 19, of Nanaimo, has been charged with three counts of robbery and two counts of possessing stolen property. Kyle Stalker, 26, of Richmond, has been charged with one count of possession of property obtained by crime and one count of wilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer.

As well as the classroom additions, there will be revisions to the parking lot and drop-off area, updates to building maintenance systems and improvements to sidewalks, landscaping, perimeter drains and water mains.

Trio of historical vessels grace dry dock Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

I

t’s just a boat, right?

Nothing could be further from the truth when it came to three vessels that were berthed in a dry dock in Richmond.

The boats, all wooden and boasting 329 years of history between them, recently called restoration specialists Commodore’s Boats in east Richmond their home for a short while.

“It’s pretty rare to have had all three of these wooden boats here at the same time as they’re probably the oldest of their kind in B.C.,” said Ryan Galovich, business development manager for Commodore’s Boats at Shelter Island Marina, on Graybar Road near Highway 91, on the far east end of the south arm of the Fraser River.

One was built in 1903, one in 1904 and the other in 1912.

The Providence, built in 1903 in Norway, is believed to be the oldest of its kind in B.C., said Galovich.

“The 1904, the Maple Leaf, is a schooner and is the oldest B.C.-built boat still floating; she’s been here for more than two months and will be here for another week or two. She’s in for

a stern restoration,” explained Galovich.

The Maple Leaf is a classic, 92-foot schooner made of coastal Douglas fir and cedar and was, in its day, considered the west coast’s most expensive yacht.

She was designed and built by William Watts, a well-known Canadian shipbuilder and designer at the time and was billed as the most expensive pleasure craft on the Pacific Coast. She was a private yacht for prominent businessman Alexander Maclaren and wore sail #1 for the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.

As well, she was the first ship north of San Francisco to have electric lights and carried her !

However, during the First World War, her lead keel and brass were stripped for the war effort. She was then converted to a halibut fishing vessel.

The 1912-built boat is the Swell, a former tugboat, which once starred in an episode of the CBC’s popular primetime show The Beachcombers. The episode, airing in October 1974, was called The Swell. She comes in and out for regular maintenance.

Tower talk tinges cake-cutting

Foundation hosts birthday bash, renews acute tower plea GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

ichmond Hospital Foundation CEO Natalie Meixner banged the drums once again in calling for a new acute care tower, this time at a cake-cutting ceremony Friday to celebrate Richmond Hospital’s 50th anniversary.

Meixner’s plea for a new tower was made in front of local politicians, including Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat, whose riding includes the hospital.

The special event was held one day before the true anniversary date, Feb. 27, to mark the 1966 opening.

It was also held literally beneath the tower, which would likely collapse or face significant damage during a localized earthquake over 6.0 on the Richter scale.

“While we celebrate the past, we continue to look forward to the future,” said Meixner.

“Our city’s growth has outpaced Richmond Hospital’s capacity. The highest priority for Richmond is a new acute care tower to address seismic risks and provide adequate acute care beds.”

Wat praised hospital staff but stopped short of any sort of commitments for a new tower.

“I can assure you that together with (Richmond East MLA) Linda (Reid) and together with (Richmond-Steveston MLA), John (Yap) we’ll do our best to ensure this hospital will be the best for the many years to come,” said Wat. She added that the provincial government funded $67 million worth of upgrades to the hospital from 2002 to 2013 and added another $27 million recently, for items such as inpatient room renovations and heating and cooling system upgrades.

Wat said the Milan Ilich Pavilion atrium resembles that of a hotel and “maternity care rooms are like hotel rooms.”

Meixner took back the podium after several photos and reiterated her foundation’s concerns about the existing tower.

The foundation’s vice-chair, Lily Korstanje, a real estate marketer, also voiced concerns about the tower.

“It is seismically unstable, it is obsolete and it is incapable of handling our urgent requirements,” said Korstanje, who also pointed out “most of the medical equipment and resources are donorfunded.”

The event recognized Bob de Boer, the first person born in the hospital, on March 7, 1966.

Also at the event was Kerry Paterson, one of the daughter’s of Dr. Richard

Talmey, who helped galvanize support for the construction of the hospital in the late 1950s.

“His legacy is the contributions to the community. He moved into this community long before anything was here,” said Paterson, noting her father, along with Dr. John Varley and Dr. Doug Clement, performed minor surgeries from their office, prior to the hospital being built.

While the hospital was deemed one of the best in Canada when it opened, the foundation notes no other hospital in B.C. has fewer acute care beds per capita. Meixner is concerned about Richmond’s growing seniors population, which will add even more demand to the overcrowded tower.

The foundation has stated it is willing to raise $40 million for a new tower that would cost about $283 million.

Asbestos firm walks Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

A

judge has ruled that an asbestos removal contractor — who operates in Richmond — is not in contempt of court after allegedly ignoring a previous court order.

At the BC Supreme Court on Friday, Justice George Macintosh dismissed the application brought by WorkSafeBC against Seattle Environmental Ltd., Mike Singh and Shawn Singh because the Workers Compensation Act is too difficult to decipher.

WorkSafeBC had earlier argued that the Singhs were in contempt of court as a result of breaching an order granted in 2012

by Madam Justice Russell.

The Singhs, with Seattle Environmental, were accused of repeatedly and knowingly exposing workers to asbestos and, thus, risking their future health.

Seattle Environmental and the Singhs denied the allegations and said, in court filings, they were being discriminated against

by WorkSafeBC because they are IndoCanadians.

The case may still not be over, as WorkSafeBC has announced that it’s reviewing Friday’s decision and may launch an appeal.

In a released statement, WorkSafeBC said it was “committed to the safety of all workers and employers in (B.C.) and will continue its efforts to reduce occupational disease and fatalities in the province.”

Contempt of court charges could have led to fines or jail time or both.

Stay with RCMP: Chamber L

ocal businesses are largely opposed to a shift to a municipal police force, according to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

“A common refrain was confusion regarding the impetus to change to an independent municipal service. Because most members did not perceive any major problems with the RCMP,” noted a chamber news release.

The chamber surveyed its members and 79 per cent of respondents (no total number was given) indicated they were satisfied with the Richmond RCMP. “Ultimately when members were asked what they felt the best path forward for Rich-

mond was, a clear majority favoured staying with the RCMP or investing the additional operating costs associated with a municipal force into improvements provided by the RCMP,” noted the chamber.

The City of Richmond recently concluded a survey to assess public opinion on shifting from the RCMP to a municipal force. Onetime costs are estimated at close to $20 million and average annual operating costs are in the range of $3 million more for a municipal force. The benefits of a local force are said to be better local control as the city’s mayor would chair the police board.

Doing the minimum the school board mantra Dear Editor, Re: “Policies on sponsorship, LGBTQ reviewed,” News, Feb. 26.

Some interesting comments from school trustee Dr. Eric Yung, chair of the board of education’s policy committee.

With emphasis on the diverse “cultural, linguistic and ethnic nature of the Richmond community,” noted in the school district philosophy, Yung adds recognizing this demographic diversity is important.

When Dr. Yung discusses the lack of gays/straight alliance clubs in the district he has these comments, “I don’t want to teach target identification.”

Doesn’t Dr.Yung understand that LGBTQ students have already been targeted and are suffering bullying and, in some cases, violence?

This is the reason all of the Lower Mainland Schools except two, Richmond being one of them, have these gay/straight alliance clubs, to make their schools safe, comfortable places for all students.

Does Dr. Yung not understand that Canadian culture and secularism is much more important and valuable than any of the myriad cultural and religious practices that immigrants bring to this country?

Unfortunately, while the progressive Lower Mainland districts keep improving their schools for all students, Richmond, in Dr. Yung’s words, have to “fulfill the requirements of the BC Human Rights Co de.”

Dense ideas coming Onni-City feud out of city hall stinks like rotten eggs

Dear Editor, Re: “Neighbourhood densification proposed,” News, Feb. 26.

Would any of our city city planners consider a town house right on No. 3 Road a desirable housing option for them and their families? Better watch the kids pretty carefully when they are playing ball hockey in the driveway and cars are blasting past at the usual Richmond urban speed of 70km/h or more.

How about this for a densification plan: rezone all residential cul-de-sacs for townhouse redevelopment!

Then families could again afford to live in our residential areas and we would once more see kids playing ball and riding their bikes on the safe and relatively car-free streets in our neighbourhoods.

To think that we are paying these planners healthy salaries to come up with ideas that no one would actually want and put our kids at risk.

Volker Helmuth Richmond

Dear Editor, The City of Richmond has been like a mother hen sitting on four Onni eggs, waiting for them to turn into marine type chicks.

The eggs will not hatch because the nest is in the wrong place and should never have been built that close to the water in the first place.

It is a nice nest but it needs a refit as the eggs are beginning to smell.

Learn the lingo Proper poll? No Dear Editor, Re: “Meeting to Bridge Language Gap,” News, Feb. 24.

I believe the city has been accommodating enough to our Chinese community.

Don’t get me wrong. I Iove the Chinese and I love Chinese food.

However, it’s sad that this meeting about public safety has been positioned as a problem of not being able to voice their concerns due to language. So, do they want to have Chinese translation on municipal signage and at city hall meetings?

The solution is to learn the language. Before I came to Canada, we were required to take and pass an English proficiency test.

Peter Liu even added that it’s too much to expect new immigrants to wait four or five years to learn English before they can actively engage with city council and local politics. Seriously?

When I was in Shanghai, one of the largest business districts of China, I had to show my hotel card for the taxi driver to understand where my hotel was. I had to show the server in the restaurant a picture of the food I wanted to order. I did not complain nor expect them to understand me. I was in their home country, and I knew I needed to adjust. I should have learned basic conversational Chinese Alfred Cordero Richmond

Dear Editor, Re: “Citizens, chamber sound off over project,” News, Feb. 26.

The City of Surrey recently put out a news release stating “City of Surrey residents support the bridge.” The survey this statement was based on was conducted by Insights West on only 600 pre-selected respondents, making it statistically unreliable at best and intentionally deceptive at worst. Further, the only question on the survey, “Do you support construction of a bridge to replace the Massey tunnel” does not offer the alternative of expanding the tunnel, and there was no information about the cost of constructing a bridge versus the cost of expanding the tunnel.

Now, the Richmond Chamber of Commerce has made a similar

declaration based on a survey of its members, using the exact same question. Rob Akimow, of the Chamber, declares that 87 per cent of decided respondents favour a bridge, but, again, an expanded tunnel was never offered as an alternative.

Even discounting that, only 16 per cent of the Richmond Chamber’s 1,000 members responded, which means that less than 160 responded, and less than 140 responded in favour of a bridge without the tunnel being offered as an alternative.

Shame on the Chamber of Commerce for producing such fundamentally deceptive media releases.

LETTERSto the Editor

Does Chamber mean business?

Dear Editor, On February 4 you published an article that was headlined “Richmond chamber supports bridge proposal.”

I must admit that this surprised me. I thought that these were business people.

If someone approached them with a huge deal but refused to reveal any data while producing a business case with all the figures blacked out, would they actually be reaching for their cheque book?

Are they really ready to sign up for a $3.5 billion project where there is no information, no publicly available records of how that decision was reached? Can they actually trust a project which replicates two similar projects — big bridges across the same river, built and run by a P3 and paid for by tolls — where the revenues have never yet covered the operating costs let alone the debt service?

Neither the Golden Ears nor the Port Mann have got anywhere near their forecast

traffic projections, yet the Massey Tunnel replacement bridge is going to be different?

There is nowhere that has actually solved traffic congestion by building wider roads.

And in this case, even the proponents admit that there will be much more traffic coming into Richmond with no plan how to accommodate that, and increased congestion at the Oak Street bridge. Does this new, huge bridge achieve anything more than more traffic?

And how does shifting a line-up of idling cars from Delta to Richmond actually reduce greenhouse gases? How does removing the existing tunnel have absolutely zero impact on the sensitive Fraser River ecosystem?

Are the members of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce so gullible that they will actually buy a bridge from a con artist?

Stephen Rees Retired transportation planner Richmond

Many thanks to go around Dear Editor, Thank you to the many people who attended the Black History Month Events. Your questions, insights and laughter added to the joy of the presentations.

Also, the creativity, helpfulness and resourcefulness of the staff at the Richmond Public Library was much appreciated.

It is a joy to be living in Richmond, such an ethnically diverse and amazing community.

Thank you all.

Mary Wilson, Community Ambassador Black History Month

Dear Editor, Last Saturday afternoon a family member had a medical problem at Ironwood Plaza. A passing police officer noticed her distress and came to her assistance. The officer called for an ambulance, but the fire truck got there first; he was able to contact me and several officers and the ambulance waited until I got there, so that I could be informed as to what needed to be done.

Luckily, the incident was nothing serious and the member was dismissed from the hospital a few hours later. I want to express my appreciation and thanks to this officer and all those who did their job in such a caring way.

Schools setting the stage for plays Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

T

he stage is set for a number of school plays this week in Richmond.

An old classic will be on tap for the public at Cambie secondary school.

Drama teacher Megan Preston said 23 students will be performing Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Cambie’s theatre.

“It’s a great ensemble piece and we have a lot of Grade 12 students. This play really showcases their talent,” said Preston.

The comical tale of Athenian lovers and meddling fairies will delight audiences, said Preston.

“It’s nice to see the teenagers commit to something,” added Preston, noting the students have invested about 150 hours to the play and an additional crew of 10 has added similar hours, since October, outside of class.

“It’s challenging but the kids have done a wonderful job,” said Preston.

Grade 12 student Shawn Gaw plays some comic relief as Nick Bottom.

“It’s his personality. Shawn is good with improv and a funny guy,” said Preston.

Meanwhile, other Grade 12 students have taken on similarly important roles as they reach the end of their high school acting days.

Grade 12 student Chelsea Castro plays Helena, a lover.

“She’s been in drama for so long she’s a skilled actress. Her characterizations and commitment to the role and her focus are superb. Chelsea also does a lot of back story (research) and character analysis and it comes across on stage. Her voice is so clear too,” noted Preston.

Brandon Choy, who plays Puck, is another notable student actor.

“He has a lot of big personality and Puck is the trouble maker in the story. And Brandon has a great voice too,” said Preston.

Meanwhile, Prerna Kapoor plays Hermia, another lover.

“She’s been in drama for a long time. When she’s not on stage she’s back stage and she’s really dedicated,” said Preston.

Not to be left off the long list of accolades is the crew.

Preston noted senior students Katy Alcock and Laurie Cagalawan, have “done more than anybody.

“They’re always on call, remind the actors for rehearsals, changing the lights, always on books, mopping the stage; they make my life

so much easier.”

Preston has created an industrial style stage and this year it features scaffolding to provide two levels, one for the lovers and the other for the fairies.

The play runs March 2-5, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Tickets are $7 for youth and $10 for adults (available by calling 604-668-6430 or emailing Preston at MPreston@SD38.bc.ca).

R

ichmond secondary school is hosting a production of Alice in Wonderland.

The play will have a modern twist, according to organizers.

“Do not miss the Mad Hatter at his tea party, Humpty Dumpty (or should we say “Trumpty”), Tweedledee and Tweedledum rapping, and so much more!” states organizer Barb Barker.

The last three shows take place March 2-4, starting at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10 each or two for $15. For show information email Barker at BBarker@SD38.bc.ca.

ichmondites will also be able to witness some of

the city’s best, young theatre stars in the making as Theatre McNair puts on a madein-Richmond adaptation of the musical Sleepy Hollow.

This adaptation was written and composed by McNair alumnus Joelysa Pankanea and directed by drama teacher Marco Soriano.

Teacher Theresa Watts directed the technical side of the play, while music teacher Jan Berman lent some of her students to set the mood for the play just right.

Over 50 students are involved in the production.

The play runs nightly from

T

he Gulf of Georgia Cannery has launched a new presentation of artwork about salmon, projected in large scale on the outside of its historic buildings.

The display, which was due to start Monday, Feb. 29, is of a video called Flow, by artist Ruth Beer, which beautifully weaves images of salmon spawning in the Adams River with footage recorded in northwest B.C. and archival images of salmon canneries.

According to the cannery, the video combines the movement and underwater environment of salmon, “the transparent and reflective qualities of water, and the dynamic flow of rivers.”

The four-minute film is part of the exhibition Trading Routes: Rivers, Fish and Oil currently showing at the cannery until March 9.

The exhibit focuses on the ecology and cultural changes caused by industry and development along northern B.C.’s “grease trails,” the First Nations’ eulachon oil trading routes.

To mark the grand finale of the Trading Routes exhibit, Flow will be projected on the outside of the cannery building for the final two weeks of the show.

! A video of spawning salmon in B.C. will be projected onto the outside of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery building for the next two weeks, as part of an ongoing exhibit. Photo submitted.

Q: A:

An appraisal management company (AMC) is a business entity that administers a network of qualified and Appraisal Institute of Canada Designated appraisers (CRA or AACI) to fulfill real estate appraisal assignments on behalf of mortgage lending institutions.

Beginning back in 2002 in Canada a Nationwide Appraisal Management company out of Toronto took hold and was commissioned by one of the major financial mortgage insurers in Canada. It was not until 2008 until one of the major banks contracted with that same AMC.

One of the major attractions of the AMC vehicle in the eyes of financial institution is the optics of separating the appraiser from the lender or broker and the previous perception of undue influence in the valuation process. Also attractive is the Centralized and National billing which the AMC provides the bank. No longer do the banks need staff to pay the 800,000 to 1,500,000 appraisal invoices supplied by appraisers across Canada which carry huge organization costs, time, money and ultimately outsourced staff savings.

The customer walks into the BANK or CREDIT UNION and the local lender then is contracted to send the local appraisal assignment back to Toronto where one of four major AMC’s will register the assignment, organize and then dispatch to an appraisal located somewhere in the Greater Vancouver Area. The local lender used by the local borrower may see a Chilliwack Appraiser for example visiting a Richmond property as the Personal Bankers have no control usually over which appraiser firm is chosen to perform the valuation. That decision is made in Toronto by computers and staff unfamiliar with the local neighbourhood and regional landscape.

AMC’s became popular in the U.S. around the time that the global financial meltdown took place in 2007/2008.

There are a few reasons for this. First… the window is the coldest surface of the home. Cold surfaces cannot hold moisture. So…when the cool air around the window makes contact with the window frame and warmer inside air, condensation forms. This also happens because of high indoor humidity & poor ventilation.

Older, metal framed windows are most problematic for condensation, which is why they are all being replaced.

When left alone, this condition will cause moisture damage to the windows sills, and mold will grow. (Mold grows on surfaces when there is a moisture, moderate temperatures and organic food sources – such as dust, dirt, debris, etc.)

So what can I do about this?

• Install double/triple pane, low E, vinyl windows • If you cannot replace your windows, each morning, wipe away the condensation • Use proper ventilation when you cook, shower, wash clothing & dishes • Maintain a warm dry indoor temperature • Keep the windowsills frames & weep holes clean - remove all dust, debris dirt, etc.

• Move plants away from windows. If you have a lot of plants buy a dehumidifier • Monitor and regulate the indoor humidity with a hygrometer (It should be less than 55%) • Open windows daily & for short periods of time, except when it is raining or foggy outside • Don’t hang dry your clothing, use the dryer For more information on this topic or anything about home & mold inspections, feel free to contact me and I’ll help you out.

What is the Appraisal Report ordering process at your local Bank/Credit Union?

Today, 95% of all financial institutions in Canada are contracting through an AMC all originating out of Toronto to provide financial appraisal services to lenders on a National basis. Gone are the days of the local appraiser meeting and dealing directly with clients at the local Credit Union or Bank.

Immediate dentures are always best, unless there is so much mobility in your teeth that taking an impression may cause an accidental extraction when the impression is removed. The immediate denture will act as a band aid as well as to help reshape the bone to a kinder more rounded form, rather than leaving the sharp edges that are formed by the circumference of the extraction socket. Follow up must be done by your dental practitioner in order to keep up with the changing shape as the bone and tissue heal.

If you have extractions done and the denture is made after a period of couple months then the bone from the circumference of the socket has prematurely healed and is now standing up. When a denture is placed on the tissues, the bone from underneath now stabs you from the inside out. There is one way that you can do the latter method. Once your initial wound site has closed, then you must massage the bone together towards the center of gum. This will tell the body that the bone must reshape to a rounder shape.

Real Estate Expert

A traditional brokerage charges $29,500.

How is this possible?

question comes up from time to time. If someone A: This dies intestate, that is without leaving a valid Will,

there is no legal way of knowing what your wishes are regarding the distribution of your estate. In the case of an intestacy, the distribution and administration of ones‘ estate is governed by Provincial law. If someone dies without a Will, they have no legally appointed representative to look after the affairs of their estate, so the court will appoint an Administrator to act on your behalf, or, they can appoint the Public Trustee‘s Office of B.C. to act on your behalf. In B.C., statute law governs who will inherit someone‘s estate if they die without a Will.

If you die without a Will and you have no surviving next-of-kin, your estate will escheat or pass to the Crown in right of the Province. So make a Will, and at the very least, leave everything to charity.

Should I include a motion detection device in my alarm system?

In most cases it is indeed prudent to include a motion sensor as part of your complete system. In a properly designed system, any vulnerable perimeter doors and windows would have contacts to protect against opening. Motion detectors would then be placed in central areas intended as “back-up” in the event the perimeter is circumvented.This can happen if a perimeter contact fails to function, or if an intruder gains access through an unprotected opening originally thought to be an unlikely point of entry, or breaking a fixed pane of glass and crawling in, or even using a window left open.

Most basic motion sensors are suitable for home applications.

Passive-infrared (PIR) motion sensors operate by detecting and reacting to a thermal shift in the ambient temperature of a room, hopefully caused by a person’s movement.

There are also dual-technology sensors combining both infrared and micro-wave sensoring which can be utilized to handle hostile environments. It is important to try and install the device so as to avoid conditions that would create a nuisance alarm, while still maximizing the field of view.

Conditions such as drafts and reflected sunlight can create a false trigger. Pet-immune motion sensors are designed to ignore small targets anywhere from 25 lbs, up to 100 lbs, depending on the specific unit. But there are limitations to their use.

All modern alarm systems will allow you to automatically bypass any interior motion zones while arming the perimeter, giving you full functionality. If designed and installed correctly, motion detectors can give your system a distinct advantage. And I say all this with a sense of e-motion. If you know what I mean...

Ask A Professional Q: A:

What are our biggest problems in any investigation?

The answer would have to be issues created by the people who preceded us. In fully half the cases the evidence has already been tampered with and/or destroyed unwittingly by the IT department. Often we are called in much too late as company managers tried to find solutions to issues they are not qualified or experienced to answer. In far too many cases we come into an impossible situation and we have to walk away.

The other biggest problems we have are with cloud based computing and outsourced IT. Evidence gathering in such an environment is fraught with legal issues and is expensive for all concerned. Do you think that just because it is your data on someone else’s computers that you get to see the logs? Or the logs even exist at all? Think again, and think lawyers, expensive ones, often in another country.

If you are investigating a person or persons in BC you need training and a license, and for good reasons.

Q:

Why does my insurance cost always go up from year to year?

A:

Of all of the questions we receive this is probably the most common one and the truth of the matter is simple; almost every insurance policy (business and home policies) has a built in feature called ‘Inflation Guard’.

The Inflation Guard feature protects the reconstruction value of a building and or contents to ensure the property can be replaced at current prices, i.e. if a policy and property was purchased in 1980 and and the limit was never changed over the years and a claim occurred in 2016 the amount of insurance or limit would be in 1980 values. As we all know, in general the cost of materials, labour and over all construction costs do not go down but they do go up. So the reality is that although the cost of insurance does generally marginally increase so does the amount of insurance available to customers and this factor is designed to protect the best interests of clients.

A typical inflation factor for many policies is 3% of the insured limit. As always, we are happy to answer questions on this or any insurance topic.

Q:

I was in your store and looking at your banknotes and there were a lot of terms that I did not understand.

What are RADARs, replacements and low numbered notes?

I have had llings placed in my mouth to stop cavities from growing larger. How do I stop more cavities from happening?

A:

Every profession has its own terms they use and ours is no exception. This month I will list and explain as many of the terms used for banknotes as I can. Next month I will do the same for coins.

Low numbered notes are bills with serial numbers below 500.The most expensive number is 0001 and they sell for around $1,000.00 each. For each number after that the value diminishes until about # 500 where there is no premium above the collector price of a regular note.

A solid number is a note where all the numbers are the same, such as 11111, 22222 etc. Most solids in new condition also sell for $1,000.00 and up. However for Canadian notes with 7 digits in the serial number if only 6 are the same with 1 different they only retail for $20.00 approximately.

RADARs are notes where the serial number reads the same forwards as backwards, such as 1234321 or 1125211. A solid is also a form of RADAR. RADARs with only 2 different numbers in the serial number are worth more than ones that have 3 or 4. Canadian notes can only have up to 4 different numbers in them but American can have 5 different.

Replacement notes occur when a bill is damaged during printing. Banknotes are printed in sheets 500 deep (used to be sheets of 40, now 32) and with their numbers jumping 500 as you go across the sheet.To keep the counts in stacks consistent with the printings, a replacement note is inserted for every damaged banknote.

From the 1950s up to the 1970s these replacement notes were identified by an asterisk (*) in front of the serial number prefix. In the late 1970s and 1980s an X as the third letter in the serial number prefix (ex. ABX or EBX) identified a replacement. These are all very collectable and prices are determined not only by the condition but by the prefix letters of the bill.

Some prefixes are much scarcer than others.

Last are Test notes. These are issued to test different papers and how they wear during circulation.

For the 1954 notes, only $2 notes had test versions and their prefix are E/R, G/R and S/R. These test notes range from $35 to$10,000 dollars. For the 1972 $5 the test note prefix is RS. Note that only a specific range in these prefix’s are actual test notes. For the 1973 $1 bill all prefix’s AXA and EXA are test notes.

JIM

In order for cavities to occur, there are generally 3 factors that need to present. The rst and most important is the presence of a cavity bacteria called strep mutans; the second is the source of food for these bacteria, which is sugar; and the third is a susceptible host environment. If we make some changes to each of these 3 causative factors, the incidence of future cavities is reduced.

The rst step is to decrease the cavity-causing bacteria by ensuring there are no current cavities in your mouth. This is done by removing the cavities with llings.

If we create an alkaline (higher pH) environment in your mouth, the bacteria will starve since they need an acidic (lower pH) environment to grow. Changing what you eat and drink will effect this in a positive way, simply by reducing the amount of sugars (acidic environment) you ingest.

The natural process of ageing and many medicines decrease the amount of saliva in your mouth. Saliva is naturally alkaline (higher pH) and creates a negative environment for cavity bacteria. Therefore, increasing saliva ow is benecial to your mouth.

There are a few simple ways in which to win the battle against cavities. Topical uoride from toothpastes strengthens the teeth and makes it harder for bacteria to attack teeth. Flossing helps by disrupting the bacteria between teeth from forming their colonies. Using adjuncts such as xylitol lozenges/gum starves the cavity causing bacteria.

Q: What does the average funeral cost?

A:

Should I pay for a professional Q: home inspection before I purchase?

Home buyers are often confused by this question, and are steered in different directions depending on who they rely on. Having a good or a bad inspection experience will definitely influence your decision when you are excited about purchasing a home. Just remember…..Buyer beware! If you do not take the time and effort to do your due diligence before you buy, you take responsibility for what you buy.

A home inspection can cost $350 to $1000’s of dollars, depending on what you need (pool inspection, a furnace or solar system check will be an additional cost, but can save you $$$$ in the future) The answer is really quite simple. If you are comfortable doing your own inspection, then do it. It is totally your choice. If you are not, then ask for recommendations from your sphere and your Realtor ®, and pick someone that you feel is a good fit for you. Check their credentials, book the appointment and attend the inspection. Many inspectors do not check appliances, so make sure that happens.

You will learn where the water/gas shut-offs are, about the electrical panel details, roof condition, is there asbestos? Is there evidence of mice? and so much more. An inspector cannot cut holes in the walls, or see inside sealed areas, but they have tools like moisture meters that allow them to take readings of the levels of moisture in questionable areas. Make sure you understand what they are doing, and why.

If you choose your buyer’s agent wisely, the home inspectors your agent recommends are most likely of the same caliber as the agent. No reputable real estate agent will withhold information from a buyer or induce a third-party Seller to withhold information. If you have any questions, ask them prior to removing your ‘subject to inspection’. Anything that changes your contract needs to be in writing and signed by all parties before subject removal.

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.

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.

Tankless water heaters work on demand – they only heat water when necessary. When a hot water fixture is opened or hot water is required by an appliance, the water heater will sense the demand and heat water accordingly. Instead of wasting energy and money re-heating and storing water when it is not needed, tankless water heaters provide only as much hot water as needed. Tank type water heaters store and heat water at all times, thus incurring higher operating costs. They have a limited supply of hot water and will run out of hot water while tankless water heaters provide an unlimited supply of hot water – you will never run out. The size of a residential tankless water heater is about the size of a carry on suitcase and with a few exceptions, can be installed virtually anywhere inside your home. Using a tankless water heater will allow a home to use up to 50% less energy for heating water, which can save hundreds of dollars per year. Tankless water heaters can last 20 or more years, which by todays manufacturing standards, is 2-3 times longer than a traditional tank type heater.

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.

Professional: Question:

Hair thinning, or alopecia, can be a concern for many adults as we age. There are two general types of alopecia: 1) Androgenic alopecia which is related to excessive breakdown of testosterone and 2) Reactive alopecia which is the deregulation of the hair life cycle that can result from nutrient imbalance, increased stress, hormonal changes, and even as a side effect of medications.

One of the `rst steps in treating hair loss is replenishing with the right nutrients. This is because hair follicles require many nutrients from the blood stream to grow. To do this, I `rst recommend Phytophanere, a multivitamin speci`c for hair and nails. This vitamin provides much needed vitamin Bs, biotin, and borage seed oil to stimulate hair growth. The second product I recommend is Metagenics EPA-DHA high concentrate liquid, a high dosage omega 3 that helps improve hair thickness and texture.

The Metagenics EPA-DHA liquid is unique because one teaspoon provides as much omega-3 as up to 18 salmon oil capsules.

Topically, external hair treatments can also help boost hair root growth and provide antiradical protection. For females, a hair serum called Phytocyane uses Ginkgo Biloba to increase micro-circulation to the hair follicles and grape seed procyanidins to combat free radicals to treat reactive alopecia. For men, Phytolium 4 serum contains a topical enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, which can counter the detrimental effect of testosterone breakdown on hair loss. With repeated use, hair should feel thicker and fuller.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Sharks sink their teeth into Lower Mainland title Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

Mike Stoneburgh will be putting in his usual long hours at the upcoming B.C. High School Boys Basketball Championships expect this time in a much different role.

The tireless volunteer, who has done everything from game announcing to scorekeeping over the years, will not be available when the tournament tips-off March 9 at the Langley Events Centre (LEC).

He has a championship calibre team to coach.

His Steveston-London Sharks will be riding a huge wave of momentum to the season’s biggest stage after a dominating performance at the Lower Mainland AAA Championships. The Sharks were the class of the 16-team tournament, capping a perfect threegame run with a 76-65 win over St. Thomas More in Friday’s title game at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

It’s hard to remember this is all such new territory for the Steveston-London program.

Sure, the Sharks were considered the pre-season favourite in Richmond and earned their firstever provincial ranking. But they

were also just a year removed from finishing eighth in city play and being bounced in the first round of the playoffs. Now, they have clearly established themselves as one of the teams to beat at the LEC with a dazzling 23-1 record since Jan. 1.

“This is new territory for me,” smiled Stoneburgh. “There’s going to be a lot of phone calls to (good friend and longtime coach) Paul Eberhardt and some other coaches too over the next couple of weeks. It’s a learning curve for me but it’s still just coaching basketball. I will prepare myself the same way for like every other game and that’s breaking down our opponents, come up with a game plan and get our guys ready.

“I’m so proud of my guys right now and I just hope they enjoy this experience. I never got to this as a player and I’m living this as a coach now. It’s like a dream.”

After a strong second half earned the Sharks an 80-63 semi-final win against Windermere, they next faced a St. Thomas More squad that was playing its best basketball of the season.

The Knights blasted McMath 9856 in the quarter-finals and were 18 points better than No. 4 ranked Byrne Creek in their semi-final

tilt. As dominant as the Burnaby Catholic school had looked, they had yet to deal with Sharks’ Grade 11 force Fardaws Aimaq.

The 6-foot-9 standout was a one-man wrecking crew as Steveston-London jumped out to a 24-12 first quarter lead.

The Sharks took a 44-27 advantage into the second half when the Knights mounted a couple of runs

to twice pull within single digits.

However, whether it was another key basket in the paint from Aimaq or a deep three from Ahmed Mohamud, the Richmond champs always had comfortable breathing room. Aimaq finished with 32 points to nail down tournament MVP honours. He added 38 the day before against Windermere.

“He is a special player and might

be one of the toughest to guard in the province right now,” continued Stoneburgh. “I was kind of shocked they started the game by playing one-on-one defence on him. Fardaws can hit his shots and beat you up down low too.”

City MVP Nigel Boyd added to his hardware collection with a First Team All-Star selection. Mohamud was named to the Second Team.

Crusaders returning to provincial AA championships

I

t was a roller-coaster week of emotions for the Cambie Crusaders at the Lower Mainland AA Boys Basketball Championships.

The bottom line is they are heading back to the provincial tournament for the second straight year. They just wish it was as defending Lower Mainland champions.

Cambie came ever-so-close to repeating the feat, falling 7067 to St Pats in an electric atmosphere at the Olympic Oval.

Both schools were out in full force to take in this game — with boisterous supporters cramming around the secondary court at the championships. School spirit is indeed live at well at Cambie and savouring arguably the best stretch for senior boys basketball since the school converted to Grades 8-12 two decades ago.

It was just before tip-off the Crusaders learned their trip to the Langley Events Centre in two weeks was secured. King George’s win over RC Palmer insured Cambie would get no worse than the Lower Mainland No. 2 berth. Still, they weren’t interested in heading to the provincials through the backdoor.

With numerous lead changes throughout the night, the Crusaders just couldn’t protect the basketball when they really needed to against St. Pats’ relentless pressure defence. The Vancouver private school finally seized the lead for good in the last two minutes.

“Give them credit. They are a feisty team,” said Cambie head coach Chris Mattu “We just didn’t take care of the ball.

Turnovers really hurt us. Limit those and I think it would be a different story.”

It was also a lesson learned for a young Crusaders team with just two starting Grade 12s — Riley Paulik and Tarn Dhaliwal. Both were named to the all-star team, while only a Cambie win prevented Paulik from earning the MVP award.

The Crusaders advanced to the championship game with a big 73-63 over No. 1 seed King George.

“We came in here as the fourth seed and no one expected us to beat King George,” added Mattu. “Our boys competed and we believed. Now it’s time to make some noise at provincials.”

Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It s not unheard of for people to embellish

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims Hles. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that Gags patterns and predictors of fraud.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

OBITUARIES

COMING EVENTS PUCHALSKI, Marie Theresa Beatrice (Bea)

It is with tremendously heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Tom Frame, from Coldstream, B.C., as a result of an aortic dissection.

Tom was predeceased by his beloved father Lorne, mother Lorraine, and two brothers Ron and Bill. Tom is survived by Barbara, his loving wife and best friend of 28 years, his sons Thomas and Nolan (of whom he was immensely proud), his brothers Dave Frame (Nicole), Toronto, ON, Gregor Frame (Paivi) and Jim Frame, Richmond, B.C. and his sisters−in−law Mary Ann McIntyre (Lawrie) and Kathryn Wilkinson (Ross). He was an inspiring man who will also be greatly missed by his nieces, nephews and cousins.

Tom grew up in Richmond, B.C. and was the 5th youngest of 6 boys. In Tom’s youth he was a hockey goalie for the Junior A Richmond Sockeyes.

He then received a full hockey scholarship from Colorado College, where he successfully completed a degree in business management. In Tom’s later years he skillfully played old timer hockey, masters lacrosse and golf. He greatly valued, enjoyed and was extremely successful in his work as Senior Account Manager for his long time employer, MIP Inc., based out of Montreal. His kind, gentle, outgoing, humorous character and unwaveringly positive nature will be greatly missed by his family, all of his countless friends and work colleagues. Tom was an exceptional man of the world and had travelled extensively to many far flung, interesting and exotic places. However, three of his favorite places were in his kayak on Kalamalka Lake, on the slopes of Silver Star Mountain and anywhere at all with his family. In the words of a friend "Tom was an exceptional person; everything a man should be and most of us fail to be." As Tom would often say at the end of a conversation: "Love You! Standing By!" "How lucky I am to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard." − A. A. Milne A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, March 5th, 2016 at the Schubert Centre, 3505− 30th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. from 2:00pm until 4:30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tom’s name to: The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, 2101−32nd Street, Vernon, B.C.
