Massive fire sparks air fear Mattress recycling plant completely destroyed by blaze on island GRAEMEWOOD

A

massive fire broke out at Mattress Recycling’s Mitchell Island location, leading to air quality concerns across the region Friday afternoon.

The Richmond Fire Department said the fire broke out just before 2 p.m. Friday, sending up a massive wall of flames and smoke that required seven fire trucks to combat it.

“The challenge with the building is it was full of combustible mattress material,” said Richmond Fire Chief John McGowan. “And there was also a partial collapse of the building.”

The building, which was still burning at 3:30 p.m., was completely destroyed. No one was injured in the fire and no other businesses in the area were affected.

Mattress Recycling, which employs roughly 50 people, recovers the steel and foam from discarded mattresses and sells it to companies in Vancouver, Alberta and Washington.

The salvaged wood is sold to the pulp and paper sector, and mattress cotton is reused locally in the upholstery market.

Because of the fire and the particulates in the air, Metro Vancouver advised Lower Mainland residents to check online at AirMap.ca for the latest air quality readings.

It was the second major fire to hit Mattress Recycling in a little more than two years.

In May 2015, the company’s former Vancouver facility on Sherbrooke Street, near SE Marine Drive, was completely destroyed, leaving 45 people temporarily unemployed.

Fabio Scaldaferri, who lives in Vancouver, co-founded the green company in 2008.

Scaldaferri made no comment following Friday’s fire. However, earlier this year, Business in Vancouver (BIV) featured the company and reported that it was recycling

120,000 mattresses a year at the Richmond facility.

The inspiration for the enterprise was sparked by a news story about mattress recycling in eastern Canada.

“I had never thought of it before,” Scaldaferri told BIV, “and there seemed to be a lot of possibilities in recycling the content in a mattress. So, I just started running numbers.

I got really excited, because I’m an environmentalist at heart.”

However, finding suitable industrial space for the business after the first fire in South Vancouver was a challenge, Scaldaferri told BIV. “I think there’s a bit of a blind spot in the West. We don’t seem to have what it takes and what industry needs here. It’s pretty concerning. It basically just boils down to a lack of investment, and it’s very frustrating for a business owner in a growing, green business.”

Communication fault: RCMP Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

de-briefing between Richmond RCMP and Richmond School District, in the wake of last month’s incident at McMath secondary, has concluded that communication was partly at fault.

Police met with school and district staff recently, a couple of weeks after the Steveston school went into a soft lockdown amid threats of a mass shooting.

Hundreds of families decided to keep their kids away from the school in the days immediately after the incident, despite assurances from the school district and police that it was perfectly safe to return.

In the aftermath, some McMath parents also questioned how the school district handled the incident, citing apparently “vague” information being given out.

And at Richmond city council’s community safety meeting last week, Richmond RCMP’s Insp. Eric Hall told councillors it was recognized that communication with the parents and the

he Sea Island Dive Team is back in business after Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and Canadian Coast Guard Dominic LeBlanc and Steveston-Richmond East MP Joe Peschisolido reversed course on a highly controversial decision to shut it down.

Peschisolido told the Richmond News Thursday that the seemingly regrettable decision was overturned by a parliamentary committee, after he spoke directly to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to voice concerns from the local community.

“The dive team will continue as is and will not be moving,” said Peschisolido. n The Coast Guard’s Sea Island-based dive team was cut last month, but is “This group of 26 search and rescue divers is now back in operation, after intervention from Steveston Richmond-East MP charged with responding to emergencies in the Joe Peschisolido.

public could have been better.

“As the investigation progressed, and we got to the source of the threat, it didn’t appear as if there was a realistic chance of anything happening, based on the information we had at the time,” Hall told committee.

“We’ve gone through some de-briefing with the school and the school district and the biggest fault was the communication.

“We have to make sure that the RCMP and the school district are on the same page; the RCMP and the school district communications were going out independently.”

During the day of the incident, when the school was in a “hold and secure” situation — whereby students and teachers were barred from leaving their classrooms and no one, other than police, was allowed inside the school — Hall said it was “clear that with cellphones and social media, it was like 1,000 people looking over your shoulder at times, leading to confusion among parents and children.”

“We considered shutting down the Wi-fi; we really had no ability to control that,” he added.

Hall said the RCMP and the school

district are coming up with recommendations for how to deal with the situation in the future.

School district spokesperson David Sadler would only say that discussions with the RCMP “went well.”

Asked if he considered communication to be at fault during the incident, as per the RCMP’s assertion, Sadler wouldn’t agree.

“It’s not that the communication went wrong, it was about how can it be done more efficiently and to have more open lines of communication from the getgo,” he said.

“What we discussed at the meeting was that it’s very important that we are all on the same page, in terms of the messaging that’s going out.”

More up-to-date lockdown information for parents is in the process of being loaded onto the school district’s new website, said Sadler.

The McMath incident ended peacefully when a youth was arrested the same day at the school. Two days later, a second youth was questioned by police after taking responsibility for the drama, which involved threats, via social media, targeting the school’s LGBTQ and Jewish communities.

argeting prolific mailbox thieves in Richmond has, according to police, resulted in a downturn in related crime.

Richmond RCMP’s officer in charge, Supt. Will Ng, told a city council community safety committee last week how his detachment has been focusing on mailbox theft, which has been a growing problem in the city during the last year.

“Mailbox theft for this month has been trending down,” Ng told city council.

The Richmond News reported earlier this month that between 1,500 and 4,000 local homes, according to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, were without mail service in any given month due to vandalism and theft of mailboxes.

Two months ago, said Ng, 54 mailboxes were in a state of disrepair (due to vandalism and theft), across Richmond.

“That number has been reduced to 30. Now, I understand that around 900 residents are now affected,” added Ng. The postal workers’ union called a press conference earlier this month, wanting to draw attention to apparent long queues of residents looking to pick up their mail at the city’s sorting depot at No. 3 and Cambie roads.

At the root of the problem is not only the sheer volume of people being inconvenienced, but also the expectations on Canada Post to help fix the mailboxes.

One affected resident,Thomas Xue, told the Richmond News he was expecting a two-month delay in mail delivery to his accounting firm on Bridgeport Road, due to vandalism of his strata’s mailbox.

The problem for condo and apartment owners, much like business parks, appears to be that when a strata mailbox (as opposed to a community mailbox on a public street) is broken, it is up to the property manager to fix the problem.

n Mylora site causing concern

The future of the former Mylora West golf course property is again causing concern for Richmond city council.

City council learned a few weeks ago that the owners of the 32-acre site on No. 5 Road, just north of Williams Road, had been denied a non-farm use application by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) for the front 10 acres of the site.

The city has now written to the ALC, seeking clarification on the recent denial of the application and the implication to the city’s No. 5 Road Backlands Policy (because the property is in the Agricultural Land Reserve and falls under the No. 5 Road Backlands policy, the owner must farm the back two-thirds of it, should it be redeveloped, as planned).

The ALC’s South Coast Panel and the City of Richmond had both previously given the green light to the site owner’s development proposal.

However, the ALC’s executive committee denied the application on April 27, prompting the city to request “clarification” as to the denial.

The decades-old course sold for $7 million to Second Sun Realty Fund Ltd. in 2013, It’s understood that the owners are now actively looking for another buyer.

regional food-saving initiative that aims to supply homeless and low-income people with fresh, nutritious meals has come to Richmond.

New Westminster resident Danison Buan has brought his social enterprise, dubbed Refood, to Richmond, by tapping into a large stream of organic “waste” from grocers that would best be served up as meals to those in need.

The idea started as a means to eat into the 172 kg of food each Canadian wastes annually — totalling $31 billion.

“In the restaurant industry, I saw we were throwing out a lot of food. I then wandered over, one time, to a grocery store and asked them how much they were throwing out. That same day, I was walking around the neighbourhood and I found someone asking for food. So, I didn’t understand how this equation really worked.”

In 2015, Buan successfully pitched his Refood idea to a local entrepreneurship initiative called ONE Prize and received a small grant.

He then reached out to grocers who agreed to supply Refood volunteers with boxes of fresh, but unsellable, perishable food that is then delivered to local charities.

One of Richmond’s biggest grocers, PriceSmart Foods, is now supplying homeless and low-income residents with food from the produce, meat, deli and dairy departments.

“Instead of putting it into organic waste, which gets recycled, this is actually putting it to better use,” said PriceSmart general manager Jacky Ho. Foods include the likes of bruised but perfectly edible fruits and vegetables; packages of fresh cheese that weren’t packaged perfectly; and yogurt packs with a missing cup.

“To see some of that stuff; we really don’t want to see it go to waste. But people don’t want to buy it and we don’t want to reduce our prices. We want to maintain that quality at store level,” explained Ho.

n (Left (L ft to t right) i ht) D Danison i B Buan, ffounder d off ReR food, Jacky Ho, PriceSmart manager, and Jamie Chan, Refood volunteer. Photo by Graeme Wood /Richmond News

The grocer also saves on the costs associated with organic recycling.

So, in steps Buan with a growing army of volunteers to pick up the items and drive them to a local charity or school where meals are prepared.

“Fruits, vegetables and meat are definitely going to help that person’s diet,” said Buan.

Refood is also working with grocer UNFI on Vulcan Way. At PriceSmart, Refood volunteers collect enough food to make 900-1,200 meals for the Salvation Army in Richmond.

One of the volunteers is Jamie Chan, 20, a third-year food and nutrition student at University of B.C. Chan, a born-and-raised Richmondite, said she is surprised daily to see some of the food that is being repurposed. She said the food may be “ugly” to a typical customer but it is perfectly healthy and consumable.

She said Refood is also a good way to “get out of my comfort zone.”

“I love seeing the impact we have on people; seeing their faces light up. I delivered to a woman’s shelter and all the kids light up cheering like I’m Santa. It’s so rewarding and we are also doing good for the environment.”

Baun said Refood is currently providing 2,500 meals per day in the Lower Mainland.

The goal is to reach 10,000.

‘Horrible fisherman’ retires from harbour Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

A

fter 27 years of work at Steveston Harbour Authority (SHA) — 15 of which were served as its general manager — Bob Baziuk is hanging up his boots and calling it a career.

It all started on the waterfront in 1975, during his senior year at Richmond High.

Baziuk began working for BC Packers, first by painting fish boxes, and eventually working in a labelling room with the help of his father Morris, who ran the operation.

Like many long-time Richmondites, his teenage years in the sleepy farming and fishing community were defined by the high school he graduated from. But things got complicated when the Richmond Colt started playing hockey in his senior year with Seafair Minor Hockey, which was closely associated with the Steveston Packers.

“We were looking at each other sideways.

But that was my integration into Steveston, if you may. But what a great community. After that, I hated Richmond (High). I became a

Packer, if you put it that way.”

Baziuk began work at SHA in 1990 as an operations officer and eventually worked his way up to general manager just over a decade later.

He’s witnessed many changes in Steveston Village during the past 50 years.

“You used to be able to shoot a gun across Steveston and not hit a soul,” he said.

But through it all he is adamant that what defines the village is its connection to the fishing industry.

“Over the years, Steveston started to change, but you’ve always had an active commercial fishing harbour right in the middle of it. Industry was here first; the industry made Steveston; and the industry will keep Steveston what it is,” said Baziuk.

He said he always prided himself on making the harbour tick efficiently, although he never had the urge to fish himself.

“I’m a horrible fisherman. I don’t even sport fish. Don’t own a boat; never fished. Never want to own a boat; too much maintenance,” he quipped.

n Bob Baziuk, front, leaves the keys to Steveston Harbour Authority to Jaime Da Costa.

His last big project was overseeing construction of a new, public fish sales wharf. Photo

It is those fishermen, past and present, who helped define the village’s culture.

“There’s certain noises, certain grit, certain smells,” said Baziuk of the village.

Baziuk will now retire to the Sunshine Coast with his high school sweetheart and wife Sherri.

He was unanimously praised by the SHA board.

“Bob has been a pillar of the SHA and the community and we thank him for his devoted

service,” said SHA board chair Robert Kiesman, who announced longtime SHA employee Jaime Da Costa will replace Baziuk.

“She is extremely bright and full of vigour. I told her make it your own,” said Baziuk.

As for his parting words to the community?

“Don’t feed the sea lions! No, sorry! No, just a lot of thanks for everything and to the friends I’ve made for life and to the fishing community for putting their trust in letting this kid run the harbour.”

Final report card for Klassen

Investing for Income Workshop

Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

Your investments may be su ering from a lack of interest.

We can help.

I

t is of some irony to Al Klassen that his term as president of the Richmond Teachers’ Association began the same year the BC Liberal Party took power for what would be a 16-year tenure, often marked with ill blood between the very workers he’s tasked to advocate for.

Now, Klassen, 61, is retiring and set to see the BC Liberals lose power in Victoria.

“It was interesting to see this come full circle,” said Klassen.

For 16 years, Klassen has stood at the forefront of Richmond’s news scene for education matters. He is leaving the post for newlyelected president Liz Baverstock, the present RTA vice-president.

Klassen entered teaching only after giving construction and ironwork a swirl as a young adult. At 37, he started teaching at Burnett secondary. Shortly thereafter, he was asked to join the RTA executive and by 2001 he was the president. Little would he know the impact an upstart politician named Christy Clark would have on his career.

In 2002, Minister of Education Clark stripped the right of teachers to bargain for class size and composition. A 15-year court battle, complemented by numerous labour disputes, ensued between the government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation — for which the RTA is an affiliate.

Klassen said he’s always been proud that Richmond’s education stakeholders (district administrators, CUPE workers, trustees, teachers, parents and students) have worked well together through the turmoil.

With interest rates at an all-time low, it can be di cult to generate cash flow from your portfolio. Attend this workshop to find out how to reduce risk and position your investments for increased profit. n Al Klassen, front left, and colleagues. Photo by @LizBaverstock Twitter

“We created a culture of education,” said Klassen.

He said all trustees recognized that adequate funding was the main priority. It had to be, said Klassen, should classrooms have to evolve technologically and no student be left behind academically.

This month, “I told the board that advocacy is great, but I have to tell you, the Supreme Court was better. Everyone got it; there was gentle laughter out of it,” he said.

It was a rare affable moment amidst years of funding cuts. After all, said Klassen, “We had a whole generation of kids who had less support, less funding, less teacher help.”

Also leaving the RTA, after 30 years, will be retiring secretary, Cathy Hammerschmidt.

“She kept me on task and made sure I got things done,” said Klassen, who also spoke highly of Baverstock.

Doors opened to city's rich diversity Dear Editor, The City of Richmond, in co-operation with Richmond Museum Society, has just concluded its 10th annual Doors Open Program.

This very popular, annual event provides the participants with an excellent opportunity to explore the richness of the city’s heritage, arts and culture. It showcases how this community’s cultural heritage combines to make it such a great place to live, work and play.

Richmond is well known for many of its special features. It is considered to be one of the healthiest, cleanest and multicultural communities in Canada.

The Olympic Oval, Steveston Village, the Highway to Heaven and the rich farming heritage of this community are some of Richmond’s outstanding assets and attractions.

For the past several years, the City of Richmond along with Richmond Museum Society has been showcasing what this community has to offer. Doors Open offers an excellent opportunity to explore Richmond’s unique religious, cultural and heritage sites.

This year, 42 organizations including a number of places of worship and various institutions opened their doors to the public.

These were just some of the excellent sites for the visitors to enjoy.

The organizers as well as the volunteers at each of these special sites did an amazing job in welcoming the visitors and making them feel comfortable.

The City of Richmond and Richmond Museum Society must be commended for doing an excellent job in highlighting our community in such an impressive manner.

Irony laces criticism of Asian sign issue Dear Editor, Re: “Sign Challenge On The Way?” Letters, June 16 I am of Asian descent but unable to read or write Chinese, so I can empathize with the bewilderment and frustration some Richmond residents, such as Joanne Teraguchi, face with regards to the language sign issue.

However, in my opinion, there is a stark irony in the question posed by Teraguchi: “Based on that assumption, does that mean that citizens who are unable to read signs in their own country, can challenge the present sign law?”

Perhaps she would discern a parallel situation in how the Aboriginal communities feel and transform her frustrations into empathy for the indigenous

people. The issue of “own country” can get so tricky, indeed.

As the world population continues to grow, socio-cultural issues can become more confounding on a global scale — thus a greater urgency to creatively and collaboratively find ways to build bridges instead of walls.

In fact, there is really more “sameness” than “otherness” among us.

Whenever I await my turn to donate blood in the blood centre, I see donors of different ages, genders and races — and I know our blood will go and help heal or save lives of people of different ages, genders and races.

Another way of looking at life? Just Google “The Egg” by Andy Weir.

The blessed month of Ramadan revealed Dear Editor, It was during the month of Ramadan that the Quran — the holy book of Islam — was first revealed to the prophet Muhammad by Allah (God).

Ramadan, the “month of blessing” is marked by prayer, fasting, and charity.

Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, the mandatory acts that form the foundation of Muslim life. The other pillars are faith, prayer, charity and the pilgrimage to Mecca.

Fasting means abstaining from food, drink, smoking, bodily desires, swearing, gossip or other sinful acts, during daylight hours.

Meals are served before dawn and after sunset. Muslims prac-

tice sawm, or fasting, for the entire month of Ramadan.

This means that they may eat or drink nothing, including water, while the sun shines.

Families get up early for suhoor, a meal eaten before the sun rises. After the sun sets, the fast is broken with a meal known as iftar.

While they are hungry and thirsty, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of the poor. Fasting is also an opportunity to practice self-control and to cleanse the body and mind. And in this most sacred month, fasting helps Muslims feel the peace that comes from spiritual devotion, as well as kinship with fellow believers and helps worshippers concentrate on devotion and

worship, express gratitude and seek forgiveness.

The mosques in Richmond are a beehive of activity during the month of Ramadan as many Muslims attend the nightly prayers.

Everyone who has gone through puberty is expected to take part in fasting. There are exceptions, such as the elderly, women who are breast-feeding and those with diabetes or other illnesses, disabilities or medical conditions.

A sense of generosity and gratitude colours these festivities. Although charity and good deeds are always important in Islam, they have special significance at the end of Ramadan.

Ramadan ends with the festi-

val of Eid al-Fitr when the new moon is sighted.

Literally, the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” Eid al-Fitr is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca). At Eid al-Fitr people dress in their finest clothes, adorn their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children, and enjoy visits with friends and family.

Muslims will gather together at the mosque for a prayer, before spending the day with family or friends and wishing one another ‘Eid Mubarak’, or ‘Blessed Eid’.

Ramadan Mubarik to all Muslims and fellow Canadians.

LETTERSto the Editor

Fix needed now Turbulence with NDP and Greens to ease tunnel traffic delays Dear Editor, The current political debate over the new George Massey Tunnel replacement bridge is disturbing.

The current traffic delays at the tunnel need fixing now.

A bridge is now under construction that will alleviate, when complete, all these delays for the foreseeable future. I really don’t care if it’s a tunnel or a bridge as long as a timely I really don’t care if it’s solution is completed.

Governments are not a tunnel or a bridge as known for timely action.

First, we would have to long as a timely solution settle the community debate is completed. whether to put a tunnel at Nelson Rd. or Deas Island.

– Bob Garnett Then we have to design and likely hold more public hearings.

Then we have to prepare construction drawings. Maybe we’ll start construction of a tunnel before the bridge under construction would be complete.

It’s unlikely that a new tunnel would provide six additional lanes to give us the capacity of the new bridge, so we will still have less capacity.

Of course, the existing tunnel is far below seismic standards of a new bridge or tunnel. Therefore, it is likely that we’d then start on seismic upgrades to the existing tunnel, or perhaps a complete replacement of said tunnel.

I can easily see it being another 10 years of delays entering/ leaving Richmond southbound before we have the capacity and traffic flow the bridge under construction would provide.

Bob Garnett Richmond

Dear Editor, The new Green is now NDP orange.

What’s with that marriage? Do you not remember how the NDP took this province to the dumpster?

The NDP’s flip-flop on issues is mind-numbing.

Who will pay for their promises?

Check your wallets.

And to you environmentalists, let me remind you that Canada has always been an exporting country, from beaver pelts to today’s exports.

The benefit of exports benefits all Canadians and we have no right to

impede exports coming to our ports of anything upon which our trading partners rely.

Are the Greens and their new partnership with the NDP going to stop grain, potash and, yes, even coal from crossing our province? What about that giant pile of sulphur on the North Shore?

Pipelines are essential and with today’s technology makes them much safer than the alternative of hundreds of tanker trucks travelling on our roads, which many Richmond residents have complained about in

terms of fuel delivery to YVR. With the Site C dam we are planning for future demands on electricity.

It stands to reason that as our population and industry grows, we will need more of it.

Not to mention, it keeps our skilled labour force employed.

As a resident of this province, I’d rather plan and pay today for something which will cost a hell of a lot more tomorrow.

Mike Puersten Richmond

If dredging not an issue, why not keep the tunnel?

Dear Editor, Are we to forget about all the discussions between the provincial department of transportation and the Port of Vancouver as to why the George Massey Tunnel (GMT) must be removed?

If the Fraser River is not to be dredged deeper then why spend hundreds of millions of dollars to remove any part of the GMT? Why would you destroy the GMT when with $45 million you could bring it up to modern, seismic standards and replace the ventilation and lighting?

Why not leave the present hydro lines in the existing GMT and avoid the cost of $76 million to place them overhead?

Does this mean they will be not dredging for the turning basins for the Fortis LNG, the Vancouver Airport Fuel or the new grain-handling facility?

Would the Port of Vancouver accept another tunnel above the GMT? Is the Port of Vancouver prepared to accept a major environmental and hydrological study for the Lower Fraser River, before proceeding with any of their industrial proposals?

If not, why not?

Is it because this could silence once and for all any future thought of dredging the Lower Fraser River deeper and save the remaining 15 per cent of what is known the world over as a wetland of international significance?

I find it impossible to trust the Port of Vancouver as the caretaker of such a valuable ecosystem.

There must be a body appointed that will look out for all those involved in its preservation, as promised by the federal government.

POA details require consistency From page 20 The difference in the name of the adult in the Power of Attorney and the name on title is a common mistake.

This creates a problem if the registered owner tries to sell the property by Power of Attorney. If the mistake is not identiVed ahead of the completion date of the sale, the transfer form changing title of the property will be rejected by the Land Title OfVce and the sale cannot be completed.

• A Power of Attorney contains alternate names for the attorney with reference to “also known as” or “aka.” For example, “This Power of Attorney is given by John Smith also known as John Adam Smith.”

Such wording is not acceptable for registration purposes. The use of alternate names will result in the Land Title OfVce’s decline to register the Power of Attorney.

• The attorney executes a transfer to himself or herself without the Power of Attorney expressly authorizing it.

According to section 26 of the Property Law Act of British Columbia, an attorney cannot sale, transfer or convey land owned by the registered owner to the attorney himself or herself unless the Power of Attorney expressly authorizes the attorney to do so or the registered owner ratiVes such sale, transfer or conveyance.

These mistakes will result in the Power of Attorney being rejected for registration at the Land Title OfVce, and thus useless for land purposes.

Other than the above common mistakes, there are also

issues relating to the form of the Power of Attorney. If the Power of Attorney is a “springing” or “contingent” Power of Attorney that is only effective upon the happening of a speciVed event, any documents executed by way of the springing or contingent Power of Attorney Vled at the Land Title OfVce must be accompanied by satisfactory evidence that the event stated in the Power of Attorney has occurred.

For example, if the event is the adult becoming mentally incompetent, as proven by two physicians licensed to practice medicine in the jurisdiction in which the adult is located, then two medical opinions conVrming that the adult has become mentally incompetent must be provided to the Land Title OfVce to prove that the Power of Attorney is in effect.

It is therefore important for the Power of Attorney to be prepared correctly in the Vrst place.

While there are pre-printed Power of Attorney forms available from websites or legal stationers, these forms are not tailor made to be suitable for all situations. When it comes to real property, these forms are not “one size Vts all”.

A Power of Attorney may be a simple form, but care must be taken in its preparation and questions asked in order to ensure that the Power of Attorney can be used for its intended purposes.

For more inquiries on this topic, please contact one of the lawyers from our Real Estate Group.

Legal mistakes to avoid Power of attorney pitfalls in real estate, land deals Shannon Kwok

Cohen Buchan Edwards LLP

G

enerally speaking, in British Columbia, a Power of Attorney is effective as long as it is prepared in accordance with the Power of Attorney Act of British Columbia.

Having said that, the Land Title OfVce of British Columbia has speciVc requirements when it comes to dealings with real property using a Power of Attorney. In order for the Land Title OfVce to accept documents signed by way of a Power of Attorney, such as a transfer form transferring title or a mortgage form granting a mortgage to a lender, the original or certiVed copy of the

Power of Attorney must Vrst be Vled.

If the Power of Attorney does not meet the requirements of the Land Title OfVce, it will not be accepted for registration and therefore not effective for land purposes. Any documents signed with the related Power of Attorney will not be accepted and an attorney may not be able to sell, purchase, mortgage or otherwise deal with real property.

Some of the common mistakes of Powers of Attorney are: • Differences exist between the name of the adult in the Power of Attorney and the name of the registered owner. The Land Title OfVce requires the names to be exactly the same.

For example, if the name of

a registered owner on title is “John Smith,” the name on the Power of Attorney must be “John Smith,” not “John Adam Smith.”

• If a registered owner of a real property has plans to use a Power of Attorney to deal with the property, such as selling the property, it is prudent to review or conduct a title search of the speciVc property to check the name on title before preparing the Power of Attorney.

• If a registered owner uses different versions of his or her name on different titles of different properties, more than one version of the Power of Attorney may have to be prepared.

J

ackson Danis likes helping people out. It’s just what the Grade 6 student at Westwind elementary school does on a regular basis, whether it’s at school or sports activities.

Most of the time it goes without much notice.

But when Jackson volunteered to spend part of this vacation time during the recent spring break helping someone else in need, it caught the attention of DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) B.C.Society’s organizers who provide inschool programs to Grade 5 youngsters across the province. And it earned him a Good Citizenship Award — a new one for DARE — which is handed out to those who have graduated from the organization’s 10-week course and have gone on to make a difference in their community.

Jackson was nominated for the award by a probation officer who works with his mother, Michelle.

He helped out in his mom’s office and cleaned up and re-organized the office space of the probation officer who was returning to work after a lengthy time away following back surgery.

“He came in on his days off and helped put things back together, since the office had been used by other workers and was a bit of a disaster,” said Steve Ternes, vice president of DARE who presented Jackson with the award medal and certificate Monday during the DARE graduation ceremony for the current crop of Grade 5 students at Westwind.

“He organized, re-organized and schlepped stuff back and forth, which was a fine example of giving back

to the community.

“And not everybody gets thanked for what they do, but this is a little thank-you from us at DARE B.C. for going that extra mile.”

“I just wanted to help out.

And it was really fun because we found stuff in the office that was from 2013 and 2014,” said Jackson after receiving his award.

“Jackson has a huge heart,” said mom Michelle.

“He loves to help people and that’s just his personality.”

“We are very fortunate the way he steps up all the time,” added dad Jeff, “That’s a day in the life of Jackson.”

DARE began in the 1980s in Prince George and is an offshoot of the DARE program in the U.S. “We’re grateful of the partnership we have with the RCMP,” Ternes said, adding DARE is presented to about 10,000 youngsters throughout B.C. each year, with Richmond’s 1,800 or so being the organization’s largest community group.

“We strongly believe the lessons the students are getting are making a difference.

And Richmond is where we have the strongest response.

And we needed to recognize some of the kids who were going the extra mile.” Ternes said.

“I’m a big believer in this program, as are the other officers, as well,” said Richmond RCMP’s Const.

Bal Kandola, who led the DARE program at the school, adding it goes a long way in helping the students make the right decisions when faced with situations regarding drugs, alcohol and bullying.

Kandola said she hoped that, because of DARE, parents would find it easier to talk with their children about those subjects.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

CARHA World Cup coming to Richmond Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

T

he world’s largest international adult recreational hockey tournament is coming to Richmond.

A rigorous selection process that began over two years ago concluded Monday with Richmond being announced as the host city for the 2020 Canadian Adult Recreational Hockey Association (CARHA) Hockey World Cup. Organized every four years in a selected Canadian city, the week-long event is considered the “Olympics” of recreational hockey and typically attracts nearly 5,000 players from Canada, United States and Europe.

Men’s and women’s teams will compete in a variety of age divisions, ranging from 19-and-over to 70-plus.

Although the dates have yet to be finalized, the tournament is expected to take place in March or April, 2020.

“The City of Richmond is thrilled and excited to be named the host for the 2020 CARHA Hockey World Cup,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “With over 120 teams from 15 countries expected to take part, the CARHA Hockey World Cup is going to be a very exciting event for our community and a huge boost for tourism. What better place to host the ‘Olympics’ of recreational hockey than a 2010 Olympic Venue City.”

Brodie praised the efforts of the bid committee that was led by Richmond Sport Hosting and the Richmond Olympic Oval. The support trickled down to the city’s three minor hockey associations and even the Vancouver Canucks. Former Canuck goaltender Kirk McLean was on hand when

CARHA officials visited Richmond last month as part of the selection procedure that included official tours of the three finalist cities. Quebec City and Regina were also in contention.

The Oval’s legacy as an Olympic long track speed skating venue transformed into world class multi-purpose facility, that out-oftown athletes can experience, is a considerable attraction Richmond has to host high-profile events. The Oval’s two ice rinks will be utilized for the World Cup. “The ambience and the reputation of the Oval is hard to replicate,” agreed Brodie. Having the opportunity to compete in a venue from the 2010 Olympics is certainly to our advantage.”

The tournament will provide a substantial economic benefit. The 2016 World Cup in Windsor generated an estimated $10.1 million towards the local economy.

Participants will fill more than 800 hotel rooms per night and will play more than 250 games in the community throughout the week. In addition, local restaurants, pubs, shops and malls can expect positive spinoff with an influx of out of town traffic during the event.

The Richmond Ice Centre and Minoru Arenas will also be utilized throughout the seven days of the event.

“We are thrilled to be bringing the CARHA Hockey World Cup back to the West Coast after 20 years and to be showcasing this part of Canada to all of our participants” said Lucy Peeling, Coordinator, CARHA Hockey World Cup. “The City of Richmond will provide a unique experience to our participants from a facility and tourism perspective and we are looking forward to working together to create another memorable

ROGERS, Phyllis M. May 6, 1926 − May 17, 2017

Phyl Rogers, (nee Watson), 91, died peacefully, surrounded by family at Richmond Hospital.

Born in Vancouver to Nellie and Jack, the family, with big sister Joyce, moved to Nelson BC when Phyl was a teenager. A treasured time, she made lifelong friends, and grew to love BC’s pioneering heritage and outdoor life. After graduating, Phyl trained as a nurse, her mother’s occupation during WW1. Nursing wasn’t for Phyl though, so she moved to Vancouver and worked for BC Tel. In Vancouver she married Les, her high school sweetheart and raised 4 children, Doug, Ken, Terry and Nancy. Phyl was a devoted mother and homemaker. After her children left home, Phyl became a docent at the Vancouver Museum. She loved working with students and mentoring other volunteers. Artistic and musical, Phyl sang with the Keynotes choir.

In 1991, Phyl settled in Richmond’s Apple Greene community, where, having set out once more on her own, she found a home with new friends, including her dearest friend Mike Clapham, a talented musician and artist who preceded her in death last year. Phyl is survived by her children, their spouses, 7 grandchildren and 4 great− grandchildren.

There will be a Celebration of Life at the Apple Greene Core, 8840 No. 1 Road Richmond, on June 25, 2017, 1PM to 3PM.
