Fall stink season back?

Changing weather, less garden waste may be the reason GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

f you awoke Monday to a rancid smell in the air, you’re not alone.

Suspected of flaring local nostrils was Harvest Power, said realtor Arnold Shuchat, member of Stop the Stink Richmond, a group monitoring the east Richmond compost facility’s efforts to mitigate odours.

“This falls into the rancid, sour, putrid, garbage type of smell,” said Shuchat.

Indeed, Metro Vancouver said it determined Harvest Power was the source of the malodour, after it received 17 complaints Monday.

“This marks the first time since March that we’ve detected odours consistent with Harvest beyond five kilometres and we are looking into it,” said Metro Vancouver spokesperson Don Bradley.

To date this year, Harvest Power complaints have dropped by about 50 per cent over last year. In 2017, Metro Vancouver has logged 1,150 complaints naming the facility as the source. In 2016, there were 2,694 complaints, total.

The American-based waste-to-energy company claimed earlier this year to have taken measures to mitigate the odours.

On Monday, Harvest Power spokesperson Stephen Bruyneel noted the company has taken in roughly half the amount of waste compared to 2015. He also said the

company’s anaerobic digester (thought to be a source of odours) continues to be shut down.

Bruyneel said the company has also reduced the height of its compost piles but would not specify as to how much.

Such actions appeared to work, as over the past five months there had been just one day with a significant number of complaints.

However, most of the complaints over the past two years have come in the fall, when, according to Metro Vancouver officials, air quality tends to be poorer due to changing weather conditions and there is less yard waste to aerate the warm compost heaps.

“We see what’s happening in Vancouver; you walk a few steps, and you see a marijuana store. That’s not what we really want to have here, and it bothers everyone,” said Dang.

Coun. Carol Day agrees that the city should be able to control the number and locations of marijuana stores.

“We require that our zoning can control where, how, and how many (marijuana stores locate). We don’t want it at every corner.” said Day. “We are an urban suburban city, so we don’t have some of the same desire that a big city might have.

We prefer to take a more cautious approach, to make sure we get this right, because we don’t want to get it wrong.”

“We are kind of like a bedroom community that way,” noted Dang.

“Council as a whole agrees it wants to get a handle on this issue so as to have better control of the situation in the future,” added Dang.

The federal government is sticking to its July 2018 deadline for marijuana legalization. An online survey (Interceptum.com/s/En/BCCannabisRegulation) has been launched by the B.C. government and closes Nov. 1.

The survey seeks input from the public and local governments. A provincial marijuana act is slated to be ready in spring.

Thieves target older Civics Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

ichmond Mounties are on the lookout right now for car thieves with a particular penchant for a specific, older car.

Over the past weekend, thieves stole four Honda Civics from the 1990-1999 model years throughout Richmond.

According to police, due to the age of these vehicles, none were equipped with a factory-installed immobilizer system.

In 2007, however, such systems became mandatory for new vehicles in Canada.

As such, Richmond RCMP is asking local residents who own these Hondas to “strongly consider the use of an anti-theft device whenever possible.”

Such devices, say police, could include a steering wheel lock, aftermarket alarm or aftermarket immobilizer system — the use of these devices can greatly reduce theft.

Police say the older Hondas are being specifically targeted because they can be stolen extremely quickly and may be used to commit other crimes.

In May, the Richmond News reported how a thief tried twice to steal Honda SUVs in quick succession in broad daylight, the latter attempt being successful, right in front of the owner.

Contract: Should be awarded to closed facility From page 1 Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he is concerned the problem could arise again but stressed officials are working together to resolve it. He said a City of Richmond notice of default remains in effect and Monday’s stink could indicate Harvest Power isn’t following best practices set out in the city contract, which expires in 2019.

A recent report to Metro Vancouver indicates any new composting contract should be granted to closed-containment facilities. Harvest Power’s contract with Metro Vancouver also expires in 2019 and the air quality permit (issued last January), which

allows the company to take waste from commercial businesses, terminates in 2020.

Under the existing air quality permit, Harvest Power is allowed to create a stink beyond five kilometres on any four separate days within a two-week period. Beyond four days, it can be ordered by Metro Vancouver to temporarily stop taking in all waste, as was the case last March.

In 2018, the standard becomes four kilometres and just three days of stink.

For complaints, see MetroVancouver.org.

The time to ACT is NOW The “July 2018 Marijuana Legalization Concern Group” is opposed to the legalization of marijuana as it is not in the public interest. However, if Mr. Trudeau insists on passing Bill C-45 next July, our group asks the federal government to meet these conditions: 1. Set the minimum age of consumption at 21.

2. Prohibit personal cultivation at home.

3. Disclose to the taxpayers in clear terms about the expenses that may arise from legalization of marijuana.

If the federal government insists on legalizing marijuana in 2018, our group asks the B.C. government to adopt the following 15 suggestions to protect public interest: 1. Do not give the green light to the legal use and possession of marijuana ahead of the federal government.

2. Put pressure on the federal government to postpone legalization until critical issues such as public safety and protection of children have been addressed.

3. Clearly inform the public the cost that may arise.

4. Set stricter rules related to marijuana use than those on smoking and drinking.

5. Set the minimum age of consumption and buying/selling of marijuana at 21.

6. Set the maximum number of marijuana plants to be cultivated by premises, not by household.

7. Protect the legal rights of landlord (including strata council) to forbid tenants to cultivate, consume, and buy/sell marijuana.

8. Prohibit smoking or cultivation marijuana in any buildings (such as apartment) with central air ventilation system.

9. Prohibit cultivation, smoking of marijuana and the use of marijuana related products in any places children may reside or may be around.

10. Prohibit marijuana products made in the form of candies, cookies, foods or drinks.

11. Require any products contained with marijuana must be clearly labeled and carry health warnings similar to cigarettes.

12. Be strict on illegal marijuana operations.

13. Allow marijuana to be sold at designated locations only.

14. Be strict on impaired driving under the influence of marijuana.

15. Delegate municipalities with the authority to make stricter bylaws on the cultivation, consumption and buying/selling of marijuana according to the wish of their residents.

To ask the federal government to postpone passing marijuana legalization until the critical issues such as public safety and protection of children are fully addressed, please go to www.chn.ge/2yfDxpj to sign the e-petition, or simply scan this QR code: We also encourage you to participate in the B.C.

Chinese females still being targeted Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

T

he RCMP is again reminding the public, especially Chinese nationals living in the Lower Mainland, that “virtual kidnapping” incidents are continuing.

Police issued a news release in July warning the public about an extortion scheme that tricks victims into believing their loved ones have been kidnapped.

Numerous victims reported being contacted by suspects claiming to be Chinese government officials, with the victims being told they were implicated in crimes in China.

The suspects then coerced the victims into a series of actions, warning if they didn’t cooperate, their families in China would be harmed. Simultaneously, families in China were contacted by the suspects who convinced them that their loved ones were being held against their will, which led to a demand for money.

In each case, the suspects falsely claimed to be Chinese government officials.

And on Aug. 30, the RCMP announced the creation of a joint task force to address and coordinate information about the ongoing extortion, which included a significant outreach strategy aimed at educating potential victims.

There were no further incidents reported up until mid-October, when the RCMP received three more reports.

n The kidnapping and suspected death of Chinese student Yingying Zhang in the U.S. has stoked worries in Metro Vancouver. File photo

Once again, the incidents appear to be targeting female Chinese nationals.

“The RCMP would like to remind the Chinese community that these automated calls are fraudulent,” said Staff Sgt. Annie Linteau, senior media relations officer, BC RCMP. “Anyone who receives similar calls should not comply with any demands and hang up immediately.”

The Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China wants Chinese students in Vancouver to know that, should any Chinese citizens be involved in any legal cases in China, the relevant legal documents will be mailed to them directly from Chinese diplomatic missions.

MLA Wat presses NDP on hospital reno Health Minister Adrian Dix says NDP proceeding with plan after years of Liberal neglect GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

R

ichmond North Centre MLA Teresa Wat is keeping the coals hot for a new acute care tower at Richmond Hospital, but Health Minister Adrian Dix claims it took her too long to ignite them to begin with.

Liberal Wat pressed New Democrat Dix at a committee meeting Oct. 20 for a timeline for the new tower.

“In the ministry’s updated budget, 2017, there’s no mention of Richmond Hospital. So health spending is going to increase by $603 million over three years but no new money was earmarked for Richmond’s acute care tower replacement,” argued Wat, who repeatedly noted the NDP promised to expedite the project prior to the May 9 election, in which the NDP formed a minority government with Green Party support.

“We are proceeding. The commitment is out there,” said Dix, who found it puzzling that Wat pressed him on a timeline.

“It is, I think, unbelievable that Richmond cabinet ministers, who absolutely failed to deliver this hospital project for years, are now standing up months into their opposition and saying it’s taking too long,” said Dix at one point during a 25-minute exchange.

“This hospital has needed work for six years. I can assure you we will be way faster than the previous Liberal government,” said

Dix. Wat said $27 million is sitting in trust with the Richmond Hospital Foundation and half of those donations are dependent on a 2020 construction start date.

As the two sparred, they each noted their respective parties had sent out numerous campaign press releases with commitments.

“After 15 years and 10 months, all the people of Richmond got was a lousy press release,” said Dix, noting the hospital hadn’t seen a major improvement since the late 1990s when the Westminster Tower was built by the NDP. Wat quickly jumped to her own track record on the hospital, noting she personally had only been elected in 2013, thus didn’t have as much time to respond to the hospital needs (according to a 2005 seismic report of the hospital, the north (acute care) tower would likely collapse, or partially collapse with “moderate shaking.” This fact was reiterated to Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) in a 2011 report.).

n MLA Teresa Wat and Health Minister Adrian Dix

n Twelve years after being informed of structural problems at Richmond Hospital and months before the May 9 election, the BC Liberal government tabled this rendering for a new tower. File photo.

“You have to give credit to the previous government for starting the concept plan,” said Wat, who said she put the pressure on past health minister Terry Lake.

This year, the Liberals claimed to expedite the business plan, but Dix said the ministry was still in the concept stage when he arrived in office.

“It is a fact Richmond city council had to take out an ad to get the attention of Richmond MLAs. It is a fact this project has been stuck in the mud for years,” said Dix, noting under the Liberals it takes at least three years to go from concept to construction.

But when pressed again by Wat for a timeline, Dix couldn’t specify.

“The commitment is clear from the current government and we’re proceeding as we should, expeditiously through the process for a project that has a high priority in Vancouver Coastal Health,” said Dix. He charged that Wat was being too political but he himself mentioned how the NDP gained significant votes in Richmond because of the hospital issue.

“My share of votes went up in 2017,” Wat told Dix, who concluded the discussion was “shabby political games.”

TransLink eyes new bus routes

LET’S RECYCLE CORRECTLY!

Graeme Wood

Please do not put recyclables in plastic bags – these bagged items are not accepted by recycling processors.

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

A

blueprint for transit changes for Richmond is expected to roll out by the end of the year, according to TransLink, which must still finalize proposals under its Southwest Area Transport Plan. Here are some of the proposals:

n 404/405 diverted north-south

You can recycle empty, clean plastic bags at the Richmond Recycling Depot – 5555 Lynas Lane, open 9 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., Wednesday to Sunday.

Let’s work together to improve the quality of our recycling to maximize program revenues and keep City utility fees down.

Environmental Programs Information: 604-276-4010 garbageandrecycling@richmond.ca www.richmond.ca/recycle

A faster, more direct link from north to south will come with a new 405 route that takes passengers all the way down No. 5 Road, from Bridgeport Station to Ironwood Business Park. And, the 404 will also run the entire length of No. 4 Road, down to Steveston Highway where it will circle around Ironwood and head back up to Bridgeport Station. These routes will better serve new developments in the Cambie neighbourhoods.

But, the new routes eliminate some existing services along sparsely populated areas on Westminster Highway and Granville Avenue.

Thus, some commuters will need to transfer.

n 403 split, C93 to London Landing

In terms of east-west travel, the C93 community bus remains the only non-transfer option in south Richmond. However, a transfer at Steveston Highway at No. 3 Road may

soon be more convenient for some. That’s because the more frequent 403 (No. 3 Road bus) will have two new routes. One route will head west on Steveston Highway to the Village while the other route heads east to Riverport. This increases bus frequency on the west side of Steveston Highway but decreases it to the east. Notably, the C93 will extend to London Landing.

A semi-circuitous route from Steveston to Riverport may be possible via the new 401 schedule, as this route is proposed to branch out in two routes (one, long back-and-forth line) from Brighouse Station: 401e, via Garden City Road, and 401w, via No. 1 Road.

n 402/407 diverted for Blundell bus

A new Blundell Road bus is proposed from the West Dyke to Garden City Road and then north, looping around City Centre. This new route will allow the 402 to be diverted from Blundell to run north on No. 2 Road (where there is currently no service) to River Road, past the Richmond Olympic Oval, then to a planned Capstan Way Station.

Also being diverted from Brighouse Station will be the 407 (Gilbert Road) bus. Heading north, instead of turning right on Westminster Highway, the 407w bus will dart over the Dinsmore Bridge and serve Burkeville at Russ See More page 7

Baker Way. It will then terminate at Bridgeport Station. Then, the new 407e will service Bridgeport Road’s industrial area, including Vulcan Way, and travel across to Knight Street and Marine Drive in Vancouver.

With a more frequent 407w to Burkeville, it will mean the C92 on Sea Island will be cancelled.

n 410 Railway will be less frequent

n Passengers line up to board a bus at Brighouse Station, where a new bus loop is planned. File photo.

The classic West Richmond buses 401, 402 and 403 will form a “Frequent Transit Network” along their respective main drags.

The 401w should run every seven minutes from its present nine during peak periods; the 407w will run every 15 minutes, down from every 20 during peak times; And the two 403 routes will combine for buses every 10 minutes up and down No. 3 Road. These more frequent routes will compensate for a slower Railway Avenue bus.

The 410 will be split into 410w and 410e. This is expected to better serve commuters in east Richmond

by increasing the 410e frequency. In exchange for this, TransLink intends to shut down the C96 due to lack of demand.

n 480 on chopping block for more trains

TransLink intends to install a B-Line bus to Metrotown, which may call on the 430 from Brighouse Station to be reviewed. As well, the 480 to University of B.C. is on the chopping block as ridership has been declining.

TransLink also expects

to add more trains to the Canada Line to increase frequency over the next five years, as the line is now overcrowded. But, per media reports, it was recently noted by TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond at the Surrey Board of Trade this month that the Canada Line stations were underbuilt (so it is impossible to extend trains without costly platform extensions). Furthermore, increased frequency from Brighouse to Lansdowne stations is hampered by a single track.

City has bigger issues than pot Dear Editor, Re: “This bud’s for you?” Feature, Oct. 20.

With money laundering being “uncovered” at our largest casino, a burgeoning birth tourism industry displacing tax-paying Canadians requiring a hospital bed and the expanding opiate (fentanyl) addiction crisis, this “Marijuana Legalization Concern Group” and the city councillors who support them (Mr. Au and Mr. McNulty), all need a reality check as to what the real issues are today within Richmond. Their list of demands to the federal government regarding cannabis legalization demonstrate a collective ignorance towards addiction, the negative effects prohibition has had on society, and the root causes of criminality.

I cordially invite all members of the Marijuana Legalization Concern Group (and its supporters) to spend a morning at the Richmond Provincial Courthouse. It is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, Monday to Friday.

Inside the courthouse, you’ll see first-hand what substances are actually causing harm to our community.

You’ll quickly learn that marijuana is not one of them.

This honestly makes me laugh. We’re OK with corruption, illegal money laundering, buildings built without proper zoning, misuse of our ALR, shootings of gang members, birthing “hotels” in residential and agricultural lands, passport babies, etc. Yet, some are overly concerned about the legalization of marijuana?

Council should be protecting our citizens from the illegal things going on in Richmond, and prepare properly for the eventuality of the legalization of pot because it will no longer be the ‘underground’ activity it has been for decades.

juana amongst youth since legalization, nor has crime increased, which seems to be the main fear for Chak Au and his “concerned” group.

If I were Chak Au, I’d be more concerned about birth tourism and its repercussions, money laundering at casinos, or people driving luxury cars who seem to think it’s OK to steal pumpkins from farmers who are just trying to make a living.

There’s something way wrong with all of that.

Dear Editor, Re: “This bud’s for you?” Feature, Oct. 20.

I’m surprised Coun. Chak Au is so worried about marijuana legislation, when the proposed legislation is designed to regulate marijuana, not encourage its use.

Right now, marijuana is an unregulated seven billion dollar industry, much of it in the hands of criminals, and the government is right to seek to regulate and control the sale of it.

Dear Editor, Re: “Bandits in luxury cars stealing pumpkins in Richmond,” News, Oct. 20.

I feel bad for George Gens and if there’s one thing that I cannot stand it’s a thief.

I’ve lived in Canada for over 40 years and although there are plenty of people who are struggling to keep a roof over their heads, there are alway choices to be made and options available if someone doesn’t have enough to eat nor enough money to feed their family.

Making the choice to steal is not one of them, nor is it an option that anyone needs to consider. There are so many places that low-income people can access for free meals, food hampers and low cost produce and other items.

Canada even exports many shiploads of food to other countries as part of it’s commitment for foreign aid and emergency assistance.

No one needs to steal in order to eat in Canada What’s also difficult to swallow is that George Gen wakes up so early and puts in hours upon hours, day after day of very hard work to grow pumpkins in his garden and some people think that they can just drive up in an expensive car and steal what took months to cultivate and grow in all types of weather, rain or shine?

Most of these thieves may never see a day in court, and it’s doubtful that they will ever have to answer for their behaviours.

But, when they brush their teeth or shave in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror, I really hope they say to themselves, ‘I’m a thief who steals from others for my personal gain and I deserve whatever punishment the good Lord sees fit to deliver.”

Leave legit biz alone Dear Editor, Re: “Richmond targets B&Bs,” News, Oct. 13.

I have just read the article citing the Coopers, who have operated Stone Hedge B&B for more than 20 years.

They have been a legitimate business all these years and have people come to stay from all over the globe.

I am sure they have done their best to respect the City of Richmond’s bylaws.

They have had many commendations from the Hotel Association and others. So, why are they being hassled when there are so many others making a killing and not paying any attention to bylaws or anything else?

The City of Richmond and, indeed, B.C. needs to address this problem of foriegn speculators buying homes for this use and putting honest citizens, such as the Coopers, out of business.

Why do they have to make alterations to a room in the yard that has been there for 20 years, and that

n A News reader feels the City of Richmond should be going after other targets that the Coopers (above) who run the Stone Henge B&B. Photo by Graeme Wood

bylaw officials have always been aware of?

Yet, if they had not complied with regulations in the first place, you would not have their address and would not be harassing them!

The powers that be need to get on top of the real threat and do something about it and leave the small businesses alone.

Targeting people such as the Coopers, and not others, breeds suspicion.

Why? Is the problem too big for the officials to figure out, without bothering an honest business to give residents the idea something is actually being done?

Get a committee together and do something about the baby passport mills and illegal Airbnbs before legitimate operations go broke and Richmond goes down the tube.

Seafair-Richmond merger will shape hockey’s future This is an open letter to Richmond’s hockey parents from Richmond Minor Hockey president Carolyn Hart in what could be a historic week for the sport in the city. After a year of working together, Richmond Minor and Seafair Minor Hockey are co-hosting one final extraordinary meeting tonight. A vote to merge the two associations will follow with members having up until Sunday afternoon to cast their ballot. Hart shares her thoughts on the volunteer work of many and the importance of all hockey parents being involved in the voting process.

n Nigel Shackles and Carolyn Hart are presidents of Seafair Minor Hockey and Richmond Minor Hockey associations, respectively.

It is just about three years since I became president of Richmond Minor Hockey Association. I thought I would take this opportunity to reflect on minor hockey and community sport in general as well as share my personal thoughts regarding this week’s vote alongside Seafair Minor Hockey Association

to merge the two sides.

The decision that the Richmond and Seafair members are making will have a lasting impact on minor hockey in our community.

As a long-time volunteer, I am still amazed by the work that is done in our community and beyond in order to deliver programs such as ours.

As of today, we have 548 children, youth and young adults registered with Richmond Minor. That is up from 529 last year (and does not include the 46 players registered in The Fall 2017 First Shift). It really is quite phenomenal that all of these members are playing hockey. It’s only because a huge team of committed adults (and youth) believe in sharing their talents and their love of hockey in our programs.

I want to acknowledge the many other volunteers who contribute at Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association, BC Hockey and elsewhere.

By the end of this season, my projection is that Richmond will grow by about three teams compared to last season.

This is quite an accomplishment and builds on our steady growth in the past few years. In an environment where participation in youth sports is declining, Richmond is an exception and I believe that is because we are responsive to our community and are providing programs that families want. (By the way, we are still registering players and are keen for referrals!)

Community sport and, more specifically, minor hockey can’t happen without a solid, large, hard-working volunteer force.

Speaking from experience, what you witness at the rink is just the tip of the iceberg. Countless hours are spent every week in order to deliver community sports programs and, if you haven’t done so recently, I would urge you to thank your child’s coaches, your team manager, your safety people, your See Hockey page 11

Hockey associations rooted by volunteers From page 10 division director, your tournament committees and your board members. The work they are doing is immeasurable and priceless. It is the only reason that community sport is available for your child.

When I reflect on my experiences as a volunteer over the past few years, I have experienced all the highs and lows that you might expect. There have been disappointments, frustrations, worries and problems to solve but there have also been moments of intense joy, pride, happiness and delight. Being president of a minor hockey association is a lot like parenting; some days are completely exhausting and you ask yourself why on Earth you took on this incredibly difficult job and other days are just amazing and you ask yourself why you would ever stop!

Happiness is catching one of our players with a huge smile on his or her face. It is watching a new player step on the ice because we were able to loan them equipment and make initiation hockey affordable. It is having a player work hard to master a skill and seeing the encouragement that a great coach can provide. Happiness is having a parent willing to help. It is walking into the rink and being greeted with a smile.

Happiness is getting to know some of the alumni who created and contributed to this amazing organization. Happiness is reflecting on all of the lessons that my child has learned while participating in a game that he clearly loves and hoping that many more children will have the same opportunity.

It should not surprise you to know that administering an organization with hundreds of members is a huge responsibility. The minor hockey landscape is evolving quickly as hockey academies grow and minor hockey works hard to respond appropriately. Beyond the challenges of attracting and retaining players, recruiting volunteers and meeting regulatory requirements, fiscal responsibility is extremely important.

In order to keep hockey as affordable as possible, we apply for grant funding, work with sponsors and donors, as well as run profitable tournaments. We also do a bit of fundraising along the way and think long and hard before spending money.

No matter what decision is reached in the voting this week, fiscal responsibility will always be critically important. Members are entitled to know how fees are being spent and to be confident that budgets are well-considered and respected.

If we want minor hockey and community sports to continue to grow, registration fees must be kept in check and all spend-

he Border Free Bee Project, which included the City of Richmond’s Pollinator Pasture, has received the 2017 Pollinator Advocate Award for Canada.

“The City of Richmond is strongly committed to being a sustainable community, which includes preserving and protecting our local environment,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

As part of Richmond’s Bath Slough Revitalization Initiative, the city established a 1,000-foot pollinator pasture (or wildflower meadow) in the Bridgeport Industrial Park in 2015, which is accessible from the Bath Slough Trail.

It is Richmond’s first dedicated wildflower meadow, created to attract a variety of native pollinators including bees and butterflies.

“The Pollinator Pasture enhances our natural ecology, while supporting pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, who are a critical and endangered part of our eco-system,” said Brodie.

Presented by the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign, the Pollinator Advocate Award honours educational outreach resulting in increased awareness of the importance of pollinators and pollination.

The Pollinator Advocate Awards, which are awarded to one recipient annually in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, support the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign’s goal to encourage environmental stewardship and to catalyze future actions that benefit pollinators.

The Border Free Bees Project mission raises awareness of the plight of pollinators.

Insurance policy breach and its implications

I

n British Columbia, all motorists must carry mandatory motor vehicle insurance. Sold

by ICBC, “compulsory” insurance is intended to afford you protection against wage loss and treatment expenses.

These policies are commonly called “Part 7” beneVts, named after the relevant section in the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations. Equally importantly, your insurance policy avails you legal protection against claims brought against you, in the event that you make a mistake on the road which causes others injury or damages.

Like all contracts, it is essential that you comply with its terms. A failure to comply can result in a policy “breach”

situation, where ICBC refuses to honour the contract.

In such cases, you would be left to fend for yourself, having to bear the cost of treatment expenses and repairs to your vehicle, as well as paying for the defence and payment of damages for any successful claims brought against you.

The consequences can be dire. At its worst, an adverse settlement or judgement can expose you to millions in damages, putting your personal assets at risk.

Even a much more modest award can derail your Vnancial security.

There are many ways in which you could be found to have breached your policy.

Section 19 of the Insurance

(Vehicle) Act sets out the various grounds that a policy can be denied.

The most common breaches usually relate to a failure on the part of the insured to abide by a term or condition of the policy.

Impaired driving or the use of a vehicle for a criminal purposes, are often cited as the reason for denial of coverage.

Though less common, breaches can also occur as the result of misrepresentation (including fraud) or though the giving of willfully false information. These relate to both how a vehicle or its use has been described, and the circumstances surrounding an accident or loss.

Breach: Onus lies with ICBC From page 16 If ICBC has held you to be in breach, there are steps which you should take immediately to properly assess your exposure, and options.

Firstly, you need to determine if ICBC’s decision is correct.

What is the basis of the alleged breach? Was it intentional or something that was an honest mistake, made through inadvertence?

Being non-compliant at the time of the breach is not necessarily conclusive, as the circumstances of the parties when the contract was entered into need to be taken into account.

For example, your vehicle was stolen outside of your Vancouver home, but your policy was purchased three months earlier, when you were living in Victoria.

Is ICBC correct in denying you coverage for your loss, on account of the inaccurate description as to where your vehicle was stored?

The onus ultimately rests with ICBC to show that you are in breach, and that your failure to comply was willful and materially signiVcant.

For these reasons, if an honest and legitimate explanation can be offered to account for the non-compliance, ICBC will often elect to honour the policy, notwithstanding minor deVciencies in compliance.

An unreasonable denial of coverage may, in turn, expose ICBC to allegations of “bad faith”, or that they have treated you unfairly.

Secondly, in cases where the insurer is unwilling to reconsider its position on coverage, the courts may still apply “relief from forfeiture” principle, or the idea that minor mistakes can be forgiven, so as to avail the insured the full protection of his policy.

Section 19 of the Insurance (Vehicle) Act states in part that “…[i]f a forfeiture under [the relevant section] would appear inequitable, [ICBC] may relieve a person affected by it from the forfeiture of all or any insurance money.”

A common theme in showing that a breach would be “inequitable” or unfair, is to show

Dr. Christopher Low, DMD, MSc., BSc.

劉家文 醫師

Healthy Smiles may be a cost effective step in the long run.

that the harm suffered by a denial of beneVts is disproportionate, if the non-compliance is relatively minor or trivial.

In those cases, the usual recourse involves the payment of a small penalty, in exchange for a “relief of forfeiture” being granted by the insurer.

There are speciVc limitations dealing with this protection though, and steps should be taken early on to obtain legal advice with respect to these limitations, if there is even the suggestion of a possible breach.

Financially, hiring a lawyer at your own expense to dispute the breach decision may actually be the most cost effective step to take in this situation.

Any expenses you incur in disputing coverage would be modest, compared to the possibility of having to pay damages personally without the protection of a valid insurance policy.

Renovation reflects South Arm vibe Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

T

he Foster family took a vintage 1970s South Arm split-level home and brought it up to 21st century standards — all while keeping in character with the well-established neighbourhood.

“When we bought it, we wanted to keep it within what the neighbourhood looks like.

We didn’t want to build an ultra-modern house that would stick out,” explained Sandra Foster.

In a day and age when such Richmond homes are more likely to meet the fate of the bulldozer, Foster said the decision to renovate was welcomed by longstanding residents on her street.

“The response from everyone was, ‘thank you, it looks great,’” said Foster.

The house was actually the childhood home of Steve Foster, Sandra’s husband.

The couple recently purchased it from Steve’s parents, after upgrading from a nearby townhouse, where they had been raising two elementary school children.

“Everything was brown,” said Foster.

n White cabinets and a skylight have brightened up the kitchen, which now features a kitchen island, good for storage, food preparation and social gatherings. Photo submitted.

To accomplish their dream home, the Fosters approached Barstow Construction, which specializes in residential work ranging from new homes to boutique renovations.

The Barstow crew stripped the exterior cedar siding and replaced it with modern siding. The house was repainted grey, black and white.

They also gutted the interior living areas and vaulted the ceiling.

Ensure abestos abatement done safely Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

orkSafeBC is urging owners of pre1990s Richmond homes to talk to their contractor about asbestos before starting renovations or a demolition.

“Asbestos is safe if left alone, but if disturbed it can cause serious health problems and even death,” said Al Johnson, vice-president of prevention services for WorkSafeBC. “Today, the most common way to be exposed to asbestos is by unsafe practices during demolition and renovation of homes and buildings,” he added.

In fact, WorkSafeBC has clamped down several Richmond contractors of late, after finding they were not properly disposing of the materials.

Asbestos can be found in more than 3,000 different building materials used in homes built before 1990. It’s colourless, odourless and deadly when disturbed.

WorkSafeBC says contractors are responsible for protecting their workers from asbestos exposure, and homeowners planning to renovate or demolish their home have a responsibility too.

“If renovating or demolishing a pre1990s home, talk to your contractor and budget for asbestos testing and removal,” said Johnson.

“Identifying and removing asbestos may cost more in the short term, but it is the

right thing to do and will ensure the health and safety of everyone living or working on the property.”

“Over the past decades, the dangers of asbestos exposure have become alarmingly evident, and I commend WorkSafeBC for continuing to raise awareness of this danger — not only in the workplace, but in our homes as well,” said Harry Bains, Minister of Labour, via an online statement.

“WorkSafeBC is part of a provincial working group, led by the Ministry of Labour, which is currently reviewing what can be done to better protect people and the environment from asbestos,” added Bains.

Asbestos is the number-one killer of workers in B.C. and the rate of asbestosrelated disease is on the rise. That’s why WorkSafeBC is launching an awareness campaign this month targeted to owners of pre-1990 homes. This campaign follows and builds on the asbestos awareness initiative targeted to contractors this past summer.

If asbestos is found, the law requires employers to hire a qualified abatement contractor to remove it. A qualified person must also certify that the worksite air is safe, following the completion of the asbestos removal work. A notice of project must be submitted to WorkSafeBC for all asbestos work.

From 2007 to 2016, 605 workers died in B.C. from diseases related to asbestos exposure.

ichmond City Hall is now the home of the Fraser Giant, a new 20-foot-long stainless steel sculpture that depicts a sturgeon.

Unveiled earlier this month, the artwork is a metaphor for the Fraser River, and celebrates its significance to the region’s maritime heritage. The sculpture was created by Saskatoon artists Henry Lau and David Geary, in acknowledgement of Canada’s 150th anniversary of confederation.

The majestic white sturgeons of the Fraser River are the last truly wild population of this species in the world, having

survived two ice-ages. These fish can live for well over 150 years and grow to more than six metres in length. The white sturgeon lives year-round in the lower Fraser River and is one of the oldest and largest freshwater species in North America.

Unfortunately, the population of white sturgeon here is now a mere fraction of its historic levels and its future existence is in some doubt.

This legacy artwork will be on permanent display in the south garden of Richmond City Hall (6911 No.3 Road) facing Granville Avenue.

A

group set up to advocate for the arts in Richmond will soon be looking to replace half of its board of directors.

The Richmond Arts Coalition (RAC), which formed in 2005, is taking applications, with three of its six-strong volunteer board either “timing out” or having to resign for personal reasons.

Two of the three board members in question are at the tail-end of the maximum of three, two-year terms, while the third member is having to take a back seat due to a family illness.

All of them, said RAC chair Linda Barnes, are long-term board members and a fresh injection is urgently needed in the coming weeks and months.

“We’re hoping for people who bring a skill set to the board; they don’t necessarily need to be artists, more that they support the arts and realize the benefit of it to the community,” said Barnes of the kind of people the RAC is looking to attract to the board.

“We’re looking for people with experience in business, non-profits and dealing with budgets.”

Although RAC holds its AGM in March, it’s taking applications for the positions right now.

“You would have the opportunity to bring the community together, bring together people of all cultures, backgrounds and ages,” added Barnes of the position’s reward.

“The arts are a way to connect people without language.”

She said the board tries to meet monthly for about two hours and members try to take part in one or two events a month.

“You would be the face of the organization, trying to bring different groups together and being an advocate for the arts; the latter of which is probably the most important part of the role,” said Barnes.

The biggest issue, she said, that the arts community in Richmond continues to face is space for the artists, whether it be for performing or creating.

“Real estate in Richmond is mainly for the rich, and artists tend not to be rich.

We need to work hard at creating that space to allow artists to flourish.”

RAC employs an executive director and administrative assistant. Anyone interested in joining the RAC board should email Barnes before Nov. 15 at RAC@ RichmondArtsCoalition.com.

He explained how he based his design for a pollution-fighting robot on an aquatic insect and a shark, using a process called biomimetics. Was Rossiter aware that 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci worked in a similar fashion?

Admittedly, Leonardo wouldn’t have understood the concept of robot (although he did design automata), a word originating in the 1920 play, “R.U.R.,” by the Czech Karel Capek (1890-1938). In the 1923 English translation, Capek’s “robotnik” (forced worker) was rendered as robot.

Leonardo would’ve understood the concept of biomimetics, however. Mimesis is Greek for imitation; and bio comes from the Greek “bios,” signifying one’s life (as in bio), used by modern science to refer to organic life.

The world around him was Leonardo’s laboratory. He explored how the lessons learned from nature could be applied to inventions and solutions for humans.

Leonardo also worked on town planning.

After a plague in the 1480s killed one-third of Milan’s inhabitants, he realised that sanitation was crucial. His urban renewal plan for Milan was for a two-level town, the upper level for houses, gardens, and walkways, the lower for warehouses and commercial traffic.

Circulation along ground-level and raised routes became a reality by the 19th century,

but it’s Leonardo’s avant-garde designs that immediately came to my mind when I first saw the Canada Line along No. 3 Road.

In 1513, Leonardo was secretly designing a huge parabolic mirror for supplying solar energy to heat the cauldrons in dye works, the textile industry being a vital part of Florence’s economy.

Inventors in the 18th and 19th centuries also harnessed solar energy for projects, but it’s only in our own time that the potential of solar energy for a wide variety of uses is being recognised as the way forward.

Even Richmond is finally, if slowly, getting involved — see “Solar panels clear the financial hurdle..,” in this paper, March 29, 2017.

Why do we ignore the many lessons the past could teach us? We now have to battle the effects of climate change, linked to our greedy and thoughtless lifestyle.

Why did scientists not pay more attention to what the Nobel prize winner Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) first argued in 1896, namely that the burning of fossil fuels will eventually result in global warming?

George Santyana put his finger on it when he wrote, in The Life of Reason (1905-1906): “Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Winston Churchill reiterated the belief when he stated in 1944, “The longer you can look back, the farther you can look forward.”

It’s time to start paying attention to the Leonardo da Vincis of our past.

Alberta team thrives at Rep Classic Mark Booth

ichmond is starting to feel like an adopted home for the St. Albert Raiders.

For the second straight year, the Alberta rep girls hockey team made its way to the West Coast for the Richmond Ravens’ fifth annual Rep Classic and this time finished on top of the podium. The Raiders capped a perfect 5-0 run in the Bantam Division with a win over Surrey on Sunday afternoon at the Richmond Ice Centre.

“We usually only do one big tournament (trip) a year and this one really fits for us and our season,” explained St. Albert head coach Sandro Pisani. “It’s nice to get it out of the way early and it brings our girls together.

“We find the teams here play us very hard. The one thing I have said about coming here is when you are the only Alberta team, everyone gets up to play against us. It is good for our girls to have to compete at that level.”

The Raiders arrived in town on Thursday afternoon and saw their first tournament action on Friday. They flew back home Sunday night and will now turn their attention back to the top league in Alberta that features six teams in the north and another six in the south with interlock

play a few times a year.

“Last year we had a little bit more time here (for sightseeing) because we didn’t make the finals.

I’m okay that didn’t happen this time,” smiled Pisani. “We try to do some team building activities and then get out to see the sites like last year when we did Stanley Park. But it gets pretty busy once the tournament starts.”

When tournament organizers began putting this year’s event together back in July, the Raiders were the first team to accept their invitation.

The mix of out-of-town entries, with top clubs from Metro Vancouver, is exactly what the Ravens executive wanted to achieve when this tournament was launched and separated from the long-running Ice Classic which is held every March.

The 2017 edition of the rep classic was full to capacity with six in each of the three divisions — Midget, Bantam and Pee Wee. Also making the trek to Richmond were teams from Prince George, Williams Lake, Kelowna, Kamloops and Vancouver Island. What they find appealing is the opportunity to play three 20-minute stop time periods — the same format teams will encounter at provincials.

“We do invite the returning winners and there are also a lot of people that just know about it now,” explained tournament director Melanie

Mackay, who heads an unsung group of parent volunteers who sacrificed their weekend and beyond to make the event possible. “We really want to have that balance between out-of-town and local teams.

“I think it would be a real shame to host a tournament here and not have those Lower Mainland teams participating too. We would not be advancing girls hockey otherwise. At the same time we don’t want to have them playing against each other and I think we have balanced that fairly well.”

The Rep Classic moved from the Olympic Oval to the Richmond Ice Centre this year which provided the opportunity for a more condensed schedule. It could also pave the way to expand the tournament in the future.

“We generally have a waiting list for all three divisions and making it bigger is something our board will have to take a look at,” added McKay. “The Oval is kind of our showcase venue in Richmond but (the RIC) is our home and it’s convenient to have three sheets of ice at the same time.”

Other winners of this year’s Rep Classic included Kamloops defeating Tri-City to capture the Midget Division title. Surrey capped a dominant run in the Pee Wee Division with a win over Kelowna in the gold medal game.

ure Patrick Wong wants to see his team thrive but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his eye on the bigger picture too.

Wong is in his second season steering the McRoberts senior girls volleyball team. His and others’ contributions to the sport in the city as outside volunteer coaches is ensuring the sport continues the momentum achieved in recent years.

That’s why he is pleased to see a number of contending teams in the Richmond Senior Girls Volleyball League this season. The Strikers have established themselves as perennial favourites, along with Richmond Christian and defending city champion McMath. The Steveston-London Sharks have added themselves to the mix.

“I would say the top four teams in Richmond right now are pretty tough,” said Wong, following his team’s straight set win over rival McNair on Thursday night. “We have a lot of girls who play (club ball) with Air Attack as well. There’s a lot of dedication to it right now and it’s a great community sport

■ McRoberts senior girls volleyball coach Patrick Wong is among the valuable outside volunteer mentors helping the sport thrive in the city.

too where the girls are getting to know a lot of friends.”

A year ago, the Strikers were cruising towards another Richmond championship before a stunning quarter-final defeat to McNair in the city playoffs. A week later, their season ended at the Lower Mainland “AAA” Championships.

Wong is confident his team will be in contention again at next month’s tournament where top ranked (No. 1 and defending champion) Little Flower Academy and (No. 9) Crofton House) will be considered the favourites. The Mainlands typically offer three

berths for the provincial tournament which happens to be cohosted by both Vancouver private schools this year.

“I think we had a real good shot at being there and that’s our goal,” continued Wong who guided Richmond Christian to a berth in the B.C. “A” Championships in 2015.

“There is a lot of good competition out there. The tiering is just a number. That what our league and tournament play has proven.

You only need to be worried about playing the six girls on the other side of the net, not the size of the school.”

Bizzutto leads Sockeyes to sweep of Steelers A

busy three games in four nights stretch for the Richmond Sockeyes included a home-and-home sweep of the Grandview Steelers.

The Pacific Junior Hockey League club improved to 8-5-01 on the season with a 2-1 win over the Steelers on Sunday night at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Nicholas Bizzutto’s goal late in the second period proved to be the game winner as Seafair affiliate goalie Hardarshan Hoonjan turned aside 23 shots for the win. Three nights

earlier at Minoru Arenas, it was Bizzutto again making the difference, this time scoring early in the third in a 3-2 victory.

The Sockeyes also travelled to Abbotsford Friday where the hometown Pilots rallied for a 6-5 victory. Captain Tyler Andrews’ shorthanded effort gave the visitors a 5-4 lead with less than six minutes remaining. The Pilots responded with a pair of goals in 56 seconds.

Richmond is back in action Thursday night when the expansion Langley Trappers visit Minoru at 7 p.m.

t’s been a special couple of weeks in Tyler Horstmann’s upand-coming hockey career.

Days after signing with the Western Hockey League’s Edmonton Oil Kings, the 15-year-old forward from Richmond helped Team B.C. capture the WHL Cup in Calgary for the first time in five years.

B.C. trimmed Alberta 4-3 in overtime on Sunday afternoon on a goal from Vernon’s Kaiden Guhle. The result capped an impressive comeback for B.C. after opening the tournament with two straight losses, including a 6-2 setback to Alberta on Friday. That came after falling 3-2 to Manitoba in a shootout to open the four-province event.

The B.C. boys battled back into contention with a 6-0 win over Saskatchewan to conclude round-robin play with a 1-1-0-1 record, then routed Saskatchewan again in the semi-finals — 7-0.

Horstmann finished the tournament with five assists in as many games.

The WHL Cup, formerly known as the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup, features the highest-rated U16 players from Alberta, B.C. Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Hortsmann came through Seafair Minor Hockey before spending last season playing for the Delta Hockey Academy’s top Bantam Prep team.

He was selected in the fourth round (70th overall) by the Oil Kings in last May’s WHL Bantam Draft and officially signed with the club on Oct. 13, along with Kelowna native and ninth round pick Jalen Luypen.

“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to sign both Tyler and Jalen,” said Oil Kings general manager Randy Hansch. “This will officially allow them to be part of our Oil Kings program starting today and moving forward with our future group.”

Hortsmann will now resume his season in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the Richmond Olympic Oval based Greater Vancouver Canadians.

BROOKS, John (Jack), Ellis July 29, 1928 - October 6, 2017 Jack Brooks passed away peacefully at the age of 89 at Windermere Care Centre in Vancouver. Jack survived his wife Kem (Kathleen), who passed away eighteen months previously at the age of 90.

At the age of 17, Jack attended St. Margaret’s Sea Training in Hubbard’s Nova Scotia. He quickly excelled and reached the rank of Top Captain. Jack hoped of becoming a Merchant Marine Officer and serving in the war effort however, being 1945 and the war ending, Jack never saw service.

Returning home he worked several jobs in order to put himself through UBC. Jack worked on the tugs in local waters around New Westminster then later he became a surveyor for CNN Railway in Northern BC. Jack earned his P. Eng. accreditation in 1956 and became a proud member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC. Jack started his engineering career working briefly for the City of Vancouver Engineering Department before pursuing an opportunity with the growing Municipality (City) of Richmond.

Jack received numerous promotions after joining the Municipality’s Engineering Department in 1956 where he became the Municipal Engineer then ultimately he became the Municipal Administrator in the 1970s, until his retirement in 1988. In his retirement he volunteered for 12 years with the Canadian Mental Health Association, Richmond branch. This work brought him great satisfaction and fulfillment as his youngest son Michael (1962-2012), struggled with schizophrenia.

Jack is survived by his two remaining sons Richard (Lana), Tony (Sylvia) and grandson Tim, all who have the fondest memories of a man that provided his heart and caring soul to his community and family. The family would like to thank the staff at Windermere for caring for Jack over the past few years. If desired, contributions to the Canadian Mental Health Association or the Lookout Society would be appreciated.
