Images document Richmond and its people while linking it to a former settlement inside Hong Kong

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

It’s an image of Old Richmond meeting—for better or worse—New Richmond. In the fore-

ground is a neatly-maintained 50-year-old house in a heritage hue, complete with faux shutters. Behind it towers the curving glass walls of the brightly-lit Aberdeen Centre.

The photograph is one of 60 inside Rich-mond Art Gallery that offers a portrait of Richmond today as a city changing rapidly, particularly in its social makeup.

Greg Girard: Richmond/Kowloon show-cases the work of Girard, a Vancouver-based photographer who last year embarked on a project to document Richmond and its residents. The exhibi-tion links with his earlier photographs of Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, the most densely populated settlement in the world before it was demolished over 20 years ago.

The exhibition reflects a city in transi-tion, one that’s been changed by signifi-cant migration of Chinese people seeking a better life in a new country.

“Both places are lesser known communi-ties within a better known city. Richmond in the case of Vancouver, and Kowloon in the case of Hong Kong,” said Girard in an interview.

Girard spent 30 years living and working in Asia, mostly Shanghai and Hong Kong, before returning to Vancouver in 2011. Between shooting photographs in the pre-Internet age for magazines like Time, Newsweek and Forbes, Girard compiled several photographic books. His latest, City of Darkness Revisited revives an earlier collaboration on the Walled City with co-author Ian Lambot.

The majority of photos in his new gal-lery exhibition are of Richmond.

Throughout the project Girard tried to understand Richmond for himself. He looked beyond what could be seen from public areas by relying on locals for help.

One image takes viewers inside Rich-mond Public Market, showing a woman getting her hair done at a far-from-upscale salon. Alone, the image could be mistaken for Kowloon, a city of makeshift high-rises populated by squatters.

Other photos show a taxidermy busi-ness, a strip mall parking lot, Burkeville, the Fraser River, local malls and a fur-niture showroom decorated with both Western and Chinese objects.

Girard’s hope is to show Richmond view-ers something about the place they call home.

“You’re going to get an overview of Richmond that I hope feels right. That you sense that it’s somewhere along these lines that this is what Richmond is—the phase it’s going through,” he said. “I hope people will be surprised by what they see.”

More information about Girard and his books can be found at greggirard.com.

Two teachers host local workshop on making playful spaces inside the home


Megan Zeni and Kelly Johnson have a simple message—give kids some room to play.

The teachers and moms behind Room to Play create developmen-tally appropriate and challenging play spaces for children, and on Thursday, April 23, they’ll present a workshop in Richmond titled “The Playful Home: Preparing an Environment For Play.”

“We really believe in the aca-demic value of play. We use the science of play to help families cre-ate imaginative and playful spaces in their homes,” said Zeni.

The workshop is part of the PLAY-ducation workshop series hosted by the Richmond-based kids’ clothing firm Peekaboo Beans.

“What we’re hoping to do is give parents some really practical strat-egies that they can take away that evening, go home and implement, that will help engage their kids in play activities that are very valu-able later on when they come to the school environment,” said Johnson.

Play has a purpose, say Zeni and Johnson—it’s the work of a child and sets children up for academic success.

But often getting in the way is technology.

Kids are spending far too much time on screens, said Johnson, who encourages parents to “be the bad guy” and put strict limits

on screen time for their kids.“One of the reasons that’s a prob-

lem is because it’s a very isolating activity. They’re not engaging with other kids and developing that part of their brain that pro-motes social engagement, self-regulation, problem-solving,” said Johnson.

Zeni and Johnson host a blog (roomtoplay.ca) that offers advice to parents. They also meet with families to help create efficient

play spaces, most often inside the home, while ensuring toys are ap-propriate.

The April 23 workshop begins at 7 p.m. at the Peekaboo Beans Richmond headquarters, 610-13211 Delf Pl. Admission is by donation. All proceeds go to Play-ground Builders, a charity that builds playgrounds for children in war-torn areas. Save a seat by e-mailing [email protected].

Megan Zeni and Kelly Johnson help design play spaces that are develop-mentally appropriate and challenging.

Kids need room to playMore than 235,000 ballots have now been received by Elections BC in the Metro Vancouver transit refer-endum, or 15.1 per cent of all ballots sent out.

That count, as of April 15, consists of ballots that have been through the initial screening process at Elec-tions BC, but doesn’t include others

that have been received but not yet opened.

Vancouver and Surrey together ac-count for more than half of the bal-lots received so far.

The return rate in Richmond is 12.4 per cent and most of Metro’s other medium and large cities have return rates of 11 to 15 per cent.

Eight charged with drug offences, three remain at largeby Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

An eight month RCMP investigation into a dial-a-dope drug line that operated in Richmond and Sur-rey, has led to charges being laid against 11 people, including two from Richmond.

Last June, the city’s organized crime unit targeted the drug line which was selling cocaine, heroin and

methamphetamine.The investigation netted evidence against the peo-

ple behind the drug line, who used the dial-a-dope technique to supply drug users who would call a cen-tra phone number to have drugs delivered.

Drugs were trafficked in Richmond and Surrey, from residential neighbourhoods to shopping malls and public venues.

On Jan. 27, search warrants were executed at two locations, in Richmond and Surrey, leading to the arrest of eight people and the seizure of $56,000 in Canadian currency, a single barrelled shot gun, three vehicles including one with a hidden compartment, and cocaine, crack cocaine, meth, marijuana and heroin packaged for street sale.

Richmond investigators gathered evidence against 11 people, who were charged with a number of drug-related offences.

Charged are: Richmond’s Catherine Jane Pepper, 37, and Travis Pete, 24; Surrey’s Ashneel Prasad, 30, Alvin Ku-mar Sharma, 37, and Christopher Lance Silva, 32; Delta’s Clay Sidney Crawford, 35, and Jo-Ann Spencer, 51.

Three suspects remain at large and warrants have been issued for their arrest: Surrey’s Andrew Weir for trafficking, Vancouver’s Jason Requena-Hurlburt, 21 for trafficking, and Calgary’s Geoffrey Ambridge, 30, for trafficking.

“Extensive planning, team work and dedication all contributed to this successful operation,” Richmond RCMP Sgt. Chin Lee said. “We are confident that the remaining three will soon be located.”

Anyone with information regarding the where-abouts of the three suspects, is asked to call police at 604-278-1212 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Opposition parties picking candidates to take on Conservatives in 2015 election


Races for Richmond’s two fed-eral ridings are slowly taking shape ahead of a federal election that could be six months away.

In the new riding of Steveston-Richmond East, Scott Stewart re-cently won the NDP nomination. He’ll be running against rookie Conservative candidate Kenny Chiu, a former school trustee who is the only other declared candidate.

“I’ve been in public service my en-tire adult life and I wish to continue in public service. I think I have a lot to offer,” said Stewart, a 56-year-old Steveston High grad.

Stewart is running in Tory-friendly territory. The riding, known as Del-ta-Richmond East today, is held by Conservative Kerry-Lynne Findlay. Findlay will challenge for re-election in Delta.

“The people in the riding can see the writing on the wall. They’ve had enough of what Mr. (Stephen) Harper has to offer, and they can see it’s time for a positive change,” said

Stewart.Stewart is a lifelong resident of

Richmond and a retired New West-minster police officer. He also served 38 years as a reservist with the Cana-dian Forces Health Services.

Stewart said his party’s leader, Thomas Mulcair, is one of the great-est politician of our time.

“His philosophies and his platform are precisely what Canada needs right now. He’s brilliant and I think he’s capable of leading this country to greater things.”

The Liberals have yet to call a nom-ination meeting in Steveston-Rich-mond East. Wendy Yuan is among those seeking to run for the party.

The next federal election is sched-uled for Oct. 19, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper has the ability to call an earlier vote.

In Richmond Centre, two people are running for the NDP nomina-tion. June Kaiser and Jack Trovato are both vying to become the par-ty’s candidate. Kaiser is president

of CUPE Local 716, representing Richmond School District workers. Trovato is a teacher who made an unsuccessful run for a school board seat last fall.

Richmond Centre—named sim-ply Richmond this current term—is a riding whose boundaries are also being adjusted. It’s held by Conser-vative Alice Wong, who has won the last two elections by considerable margins.

Running for the Liberals is Law-rence Woo. He’ll have a tough fight.

In the 2011 election, Liberal can-didate Joe Peschisolido came a dis-tant second, finishing with just 19 per cent of the vote.

The Green Party of Canada has yet to name a candidate in Richmond.

WorkSafeBC fines stem from asbestos abatement, and fall-protection system violations

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Three local firms were fined a to-tal of more than $30,000 by Work-SafeBC in relation to safety-related incidents.

AA Insulation Depot was fined $25,021.87 in connection with a Nov. 7, 2014 inspection at two sites where the company was conducting asbestos abatement and removal on pre-1990 built houses that were about to be demolished.

WorkSafe inspectors noted numer-ous violations of the requirements for asbestos abatement and remov-al, including workers not wearing respiratory protective equipment, WorkSafe’s website indicates.

The firm was also fined for fail-ing to give new and young workers health and safety orientation and training specific to the worksite.

“Overall, the firm failed to provide its workers with the information, in-struction, training, and supervision needed to ensure their own and other workers’ health and safety, a repeated violation of the Workers Compensation Act,” the website states.

Derek Gene Oswald/Green Earth Systems was fined $2,500 following

a November 28, 2014 inspection of a pre-1990 built house due for de-molition.

The house had been largely stripped, and piles of “potentially asbestos-containing materials lit-tered the interior and the exterior areas.”

A third party was hired to assess the house for hazardous materials, and they confirmed the presence of asbestos-containing materials.

“WorkSafeBC’s investigation found that the firm failed to conduct work-place exposure monitoring and assessment using acceptable oc-cupational hygiene methods,” the website states. These were repeated violations.

Kooner & Sran Constuction Co. Ltd. was fined $5,000 following a Nov. 4, 2014 inspection by WorkSafeBC that found that no fall protection system was in use, which was a repeated and high-risk violation.

“Two of this firm’s workers were applying sheathing to the second-storey exterior wall and trusses of a building. One worker was standing on the narrow top plate of the wall, about six metres above grade. The other worker was working from a 2x4 cleat attached to the sheathed portion of the steep roof. He was about four metres above grade,” the website said.

“The firm also failed to provide its workers with the information, in-struction, training, and supervision necessary to ensure their health and safety, a repeated violation.”

Local firms fined more than $30,000

Pharmacy loyalty points, tobacco sales targeted

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

The regulatory body for B.C. pharmacists hasn’t given up on its plan to ban pharmacies from handing out loyalty reward points on drug purchases, or to eventually ban cigarette sales.

A ban imposed by the College of Pharmacists of B.C. was struck down in B.C. Supreme Court last sum-mer, but an appeal filed by the college will be heard in December.

The college argued loy-alty points are a powerful lure for consumers that can alter their medication buy-ing habits and potentially harm their health. It was fought in court by major supermarket chains.

The judge in the trial ruled the ban on all loyalty incentives was “unreason-able” and concerns raised were “illogical.”

College spokesman Mykle Ludvigsen wouldn’t comment on the grounds for appeal.

One of the objections raised was that insured pa-tients who don’t pay out of pocket might continue to refill a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade.

Tobacco sales by phar-macies are also in the cross-hairs of the college.

Ludvigsen said there is no specific timeline to impose such a ban but the college’s 2014 strategic plan calls for the board to pursue one.

“It completely goes against the pharmacy as a health centre. To sell things we know kill you at the front of the store and to sell things that help you get better at the back of the store is a bit of a conflict.”

Retail chains have warned they would chal-lenge the college’s ju-risdiction if it moves to impose a tobacco ban and would also sue the college and its directors for lost sales that would result if their stores can’t sell cigarettes.

Richmond Public Library will host a free lunchtime program for business owners on Monday, April 27.

Council Update

Public engagement can bridge gaps in our society. Together we can solve problems and celebrate accomplishments.

I often encourage people to write a letter to the editor or council, or come to a meeting and share their thoughts. You don’t have to be a seasoned activist to have something to say.

Challenges are all around us. For instance, there are industrial threats to farmland, the jet fuel project that jeopardizes the Fraser shoreline, and loopholes that let oversized houses mar our neighbourhoods.

Fortunately, we are more engaged than ever with higher voter turnout and folks taking the time to engage on major issues and local ones like neighbourhood noise and irresponsible drivers. As we do that, our city is becoming a more inclusive society.

We continue to create new opportunities for residents to engage with Council on issues of concern. For example, you can take part in the City of Richmond’s online engagement site at www.LetsTalkRichmond.ca which continues to grow in popularity as a place for the community to provide online feedback on a wide variety of topics at their convenience.

You can also email

[email protected] to share ideas directly with all of Council.

Monthly committee meetings for Planning, Public Safety, Finance, General Purposes, Public Works, and Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services are open to the public. They are usually at 4 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. By the Friday night prior, you can normally view the meeting agendas for the coming week. The meeting schedules and agendas can be found on the City’s website at www.richmond.ca > City Council.

After the committees work on issues, the items go to council meetings and public hearings, mostly on Mondays at 7 p.m.

As a rule, citizens can each speak for up to five minutes on agenda items. You can also watch Council meetings as broadcasts on Shaw Cable or as video, live or after the meeting. Links to both are available on the City’s website.

As a newly-elected Councillor, I also look forward to hearing from you individually, whether it’s out in the community or at City Hall. In the near future, I will be inviting residents to a community meeting where you can provide input and ask questions on local issues in an informal setting. You can also contact me directly through the Councillor’s Office at 604-276-4134 or through the Mayor and Councillors email address listed above. Let’s talk!

Together, we will make a positive difference

opinion

Editor:Re: “City to probe construction

noise,” April 10. We Richmond citizens owe a

huge debt of gratitude to Ms. Kerry Starchuk for her dogged persistence in pursuing the wilful destruction of our neighborhoods by inconsiderate builders and developers. She has continued to do this despite the attitude from Richmond City Hall which has

been at best, indiff erence, and at worst, hostility.

Only her genuine love for our city has prevented her from “take the money and run” advice she has received from one insensitive councillor, in other words, quit bothering us.

The election of two new coun-cillors, Carol Day and Alexa Loo, seem to have woken the exist-ing councillors up from their

deep slumber and they are now staring to give Ms. Starchuk the respect that she deserves. The feeble excuse that this council likes to use of “we don`t know these things unless you tell us” is astonishing, considering that they all live here and must see what the rest of us see! It is only because of Ms. Starchuk’s persistence that the “Chinese Only” signs situation is

slowly making it`s way through the morass of molasses that exists at City Hall whenever she shows up to challenge them to “ wake up and smell the coffee.”

The Review is doing their “Best of Richmond” campaign, so I am vot-ing for Ms. Kerry Starchuk, as the “Best of the Best” that Richmond is so lucky to have among us.

Alan Halliday Richmond

Sign crusader is the best of the best

Elections BC has ap-proved two recall campaigns against

MLAs — one a sitting BC Liberal who has won four elections, and the other a twice-elected BC Liberal who is sitting as an inde-pendent while awaiting a chance at a federal Conser-vative nomination.

The overlap of the two cam-paigns and the pledge that more are to come is a misuse of recall legislation — but that doesn’t mean that it needs to be scrapped or changed.

In both cases, the petitioners have 60 days to gather the signa-tures of 40 per cent of people who were on the voters’ list in each rid-ing, at the time of the May, 2013

election. That is an enormous hurdle.

As has been proven in past recall campaigns, it is almost impos-sible to get to that point. While petitioners may be able to get the signatures of enough people to reach the 40 per cent threshold, they almost invariably fi nd that a signifi cant number of those who signed are ineligible. They may have lived in the riding at the time of the last election and not been on the voters list, or what is often more likely, they did not live in the riding at that time.

The recall legislation was brought in by the NDP govern-ment when Mike Harcourt was premier. It wasn’t its top priority, but the government was being pressured by intense citizen cyni-cism about politicians which had played a big role in the defeat of

Social Credit and the NDP’s elec-tion in 1991, and in the rise of the Reform Party federally.

The 40 per cent threshold was meant to be high, because while the ability to recall an MLA is important, it also needs to be dif-fi cult, in order to rule out simple partisanship.

Reaching a 40 per cent threshold of voters who were on the list in the last election will likely only be achieved when an MLA has done something that is repugnant to a large number of constituents. BC Liberal MLA Paul Reitsma came close to being recalled for authoring phony letters to the editor, praising his ability as an MLA. He was in opposition at the time. Reitsma resigned before the campaign concluded.

Successful recall campaigns must go beyond what an MLA’s

party is doing, either as govern-ment or opposition. They need to have a strong personal element as well.

In the case of Richard Lee of Burnaby North, he is being target-ed for the policies and actions of the BC Liberal government. Marc Dalton of Maple Ridge-Mission is being targeted not only for BC Liberal actions, but also for stay-ing in offi ce as an independent while seeking a federal Conserva-tive nomination. That’s personal, but it is not something which will repulse most voters.

These two recall campaigns and others targeting government MLAs are likely to fail, but the safety valve of being able to recall an MLA needs to remain. It is one of the few restraining devices available to voters between elections.

May 2 concert will benefit efforts to help grandmothers in Africa


The Universal Gospel Choir will present a

concert on May 2 in Richmond that aims to help grand-mothers in Africa.

Presented by the Rich-mond Gogos, “Music for Africa” is a fundraiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grand-mothers to Grandmoth-ers Campaign.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the campaign in March 2006, in response to the crisis faced by African grandmothers as they struggle to care for millions of children orphaned by AIDS.

Since then Canadians have raised $19.5 mil-lion for the campaign, which funds grassroots organizations that provide grandmothers and children in their care with supports that include food, educational supplies, uniforms and school fees, medical care, HIV counselling and testing and adequate housing and bedding.

The 70-member Universal Gospel Choir regularly performs free of charge for various

social organizations’ fundraising efforts. Its Richmond concert will showcase the choir’s eclectic repertoire that blends old school and urban gospel with social justice anthems, world rhythms and uplifting pop.

Founded in 1985, the choir today is directed by Lonnie Delisle, a renowned conductor, performer and key-boardist. Delisle is also

artistic director of the Delisle Vocal Project and music director at Canadian Memorial Church.

The Saturday, May 2 concert begins at 8 p.m. at Fraserview Church, 11295 Mellis Dr. in Richmond.

Tickets, $10 for children and $20 for adults, available at the door or call Jane Anderson at 604-275-3460.

Th e National Senior Investor InitiativeIn the U.S., 10,000 people a day will turn 65 for the next 15 years, according to Wealth Management.com. In the current low interest rate environment, seniors (and younger people as well) depend on investments to fi nance their retirement. Th e U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (working with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) released a report earlier this week, where they looked at the policies of 44 broker/dealer companies.

Th e report says that companies are developing and off ering people a variety of new products and services intended to generate higher yields. Th e organizations advocate that fi rms recommend suitable investments and provide proper disclosure regarding terms and risks. It appears that 77% of the fi rms report that mutual funds are the top product sold.

I hope that such practice is followed here in Canada!

Jeff Bridges will appear on stage in Richmond April 30


A man perhaps most famous for being the Dude will be in Richmond later this month for a concert with his band.

Jeff Bridges and the Abiders will play River Rock Show Theatre April 30. Bridges played the Dude in the 1998 iconic cult film The Big Lebowski. His band is named after the role, for the easy-going character who famously “abides” in the film.

Bridges is also known for his Oscar performance in the 2009 film Crazy Heart—a film for which he did his own singing in his portrayal of fading country music legend Otis “Bad” Blake.

The film helped reawaken his musical passions.

In 2011, 11 years after releasing his first album, Bridges released a self-titled album. Musician T. Bone Burnett produced the

record, which is a culmination of their three decades of musical friendship. The album features the single “What a Little Bit of Love Can Do.”

Since then Bridges and his band have been performing live con-certs, and last year they released a new live album.

For his 2015 tour, Bridges is shar-ing stories and performing songs from Crazy Heart, his albums and covers that inspire him.

But we don’t blame fans who just want to see the Dude bowl.

It’s been 17 years since the release of The Big Lebowski—a slacker comedy with lots of bowl-ing—but the film still has ardent fans. Lebowski Fest, for example, an annual festival celebrating the movie, is returning to the U.S. this summer for its 14th year.

The plot centres around Jeff “the Dude” Lebowski, a lazy, unem-ployed man who is mistaken for a millionaire with the same name. When goons ruin his living room rug, the Dude enlists his bowling buddies to seek restitution.

It never won the Oscar for Best Picture, but The Big Lebowski still has an 8.2/10 rating on the Inter-

net Movie Database, and 94 per cent of 351,159 Rotten Tomatoes users liked the film.

Jeff Bridges and the Abiders will be at River Rock Thursday, April 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets, $45.25 $55.25, at ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000.

The Big Lebowski trivia

1. The Dude says “man” 147 times in the movie, nearly 1.5 times a minute.

2. The Dude is in every scene of the movie.

3. A lot of the Dude’s clothes in the movie were Jeff Bridges’ own clothes, including his Jellies sandals.

4. While being a member of the bowling team, the Dude is the only one never seen bowling throughout the movie.

5. The Dude’s line, “The Dude abides,” is a refer-ence to Ecclesiastes 1:4: “One generation passes away, and another gen-eration comes: but the earth abides forever.”

6. The F-word or a variation of the F-word is used 292 times.

7. The Dude drinks nine white Russians during the course of the movie.

8. Unusual for an American movie, a bad guy wields a cricket bat rather than a baseball bat.

9. To develop the lazy, out of shape character of the Dude, Jeff Bridges let himself go physically.

10. No less than five cast-members of have hosted Saturday Night Live: Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, John Tuturro, Julianne Moore and Steve Buscemi.

The Dude still abides

Jeff Bridges is a musician and ac-tor who’s had plenty of roles, in-cluding a 2009 Oscar-winning one in Crazy Heart. He might be best known, however, as the Dude in The Big Lebowski.

In April, many Canadians often referred to as ‘snowbirds’, take long drives back to Canada from the warm places

in which they have wintered. Typically retirees, they drive cars or recreational vehicles. Presumably undaunted by long driving trips, they are tasked by this annual migratory behavior with exercising their highway driving skills at ‘peak performance’ levels even if unexercised the rest of the year.

Driving back to Canada retirees suddenly face the challenges of highway driving. In one short on-ramp trip, low speed, regular stop/start driving through relatively constant traffi c fl ow gives way to high speed, continuous driving through variable waves of traffi c. Cars instantly assume ‘vulnerable road user’ status, dwarfed as they are by the eighteen-wheelers, and double, and even triple-tankers dominating the right lanes.

High-speed traffi c fl ow on multi-lane freeways poses a constant challenge. Adjusting to the higher speed happens gradually but quickly. In relatively short time, the posted higher speed limit starts to seem slow. Keeping up with the fl ow of traffi c may mean exceeding the posted speed limit.

Exceeding the speed limit is illegal, no matter what everyone else is doing. Every kilometer or mile per hour over the limit increases risk by increasing stopping distance, decreasing defensive driving options if trouble should occur, decreasing the eff ectiveness of crashworthiness

protection, not to mention increasing the chances of being stopped and penalized. But not keeping up with the fl ow can also be problematic.

In its recent cross-country trip, Delphi’s autonomous car, ‘Roadrunner’, scrupulously attending to the posted speed limits was reportedly greeted frequently with anger and derision by fellow road sharers blasting by it in both the passing and non-passing lanes.

Cruise control, where appropriate to use, can sometimes provide a practical solution, with many experienced highway drivers obviously using it to advantage setting their speed somewhere between the posted limit and the surrounding traffi c fl ow. Yet there are many aggressive tailgating speedsters for whom any vehicle cruising ‘over the limit’ in the left passing lane while gradually overtaking slower moving trucks and cars is an obstacle that must be moved quickly out of the way.

Long continuous stretches of light traffi c fl ow especially through areas of unchanging scenery can be sleep-inducing. It is easy to be lulled into a less than optimal state of awareness and attentiveness. Fatigued driving is an ever present danger. It sneaks up and rest stops aren’t always where you need them to be.

Car troubles are just that. Most gas stations along the Interstates are self-serve fueling stations only. ‘Fuel stops and travel plazas’—like Pilot Flying J— catering to professional drivers are perhaps not well known to regular motorists but off er more services than other brand name gas stations.

US Interstate highways are generally well signed, well maintained and for the most part, litter free. Troubling, though, are the frequently seen chunks of tire rubber from disintegrated truck tires, telling us once again that danger still lurks on the Interstate.

Richmond location moves into new 22,000-square-foot showroom


The final touches are being put to a project that’s two years in the making, by a family busi-ness that started in Richmond and is now making a major investment in the city.

The new 22,000-square-foot showroom at Trail Appliances features plenty of shiny eye candy for foodies who adore spending time in the kitchen, for families redesigning their homes, for builders looking for inspiration, and even for those simply looking to replace a broken appliance.

While the store opened Jan. 31, there’s a bit more work still to be done before it’s ready for the grand opening sale, sched-uled for May 9. It replaces Trail’s Minoru Boulevard location.

James Reynolds took The Richmond Review for a tour of the new facilities, which has something for everyone, whether they want to spend a few hundreds dollars, or tens of thousands.

Founded in the 1970s in Al-

berta by their father Jack Brod-erick, brothers Mike and Peter Broderick opened the first Trail Appliances store in B.C. in 1980. Today there are seven locations in B.C. alone, with more than 100 employees at the Rich-mond headquarters, and a total of 350 in B.C.

Boasting the largest selec-tion of appliances in Western Canada, more than 800 appli-ances are on display at a given time.

What makes the new head-quarters on Sweden Way special is its upscale appearance, in-novative presentations that in-clude fully-functional kitchens that are plumbed, and interac-tive display screens in these kitchens for customers who like what they see and are inter-ested in purchasing the same combination of countertops, backsplashes and cabinets. The display screens show the style and colour of the item, the sup-plier/manufacturer, as well as their contact information.

While the local store is slightly smaller than the Vancouver flagship store which stretches 26,000 square feet, an addition-al 13,000 square feet of head office space is currently under construction for the Sweden Way store, that sits near IKEA.

The dishwashers, washing machines and dryers are fully functional, so people can hear

what they sound like when they’re working.

In addition to the regular ar-ray of appliances you’d expect to find in an appliance store, Trail Appliances features a healthy home product section too, with air and water purifica-tion systems, as well as fitness equipment.

“Not many people have our selection,” Reynolds said.

For customers who know precisely what they want for their home, or those seeking direction, there’s a sales team which on average has 10 years of experience at the Richmond location, all of whom have taken a seven-week training program before they get to engage customers.

For those wanting to build a dream kitchen, there’s an exclusive boutique section of the store with appliances to suit all tastes from the world’s top manufacturers.

Trail Appliances is located at 3388 Sweden Way, just south of Bridgeport Rd.

It’s open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

For more information, call them at 604-278-6133, or visit their website at www.trailappliances.com.

How long have you been working in theatre?I’ve been working in and around Vancouver for over four years, with three years of theatre school before that.

What inspired you to pursue a career in the Theatre Arts?It’s a long story, but the short version is I wanted to be a magician. I took [Drama in Grade 12] because I thought some stage ability would be an asset, and before long I was immersed in the theatre world completely.

Who are your favourite actors and singers?Hadley Fraser is a British musical theatre performer and I have modeled myself largely after him. Almost every week though I dis-cover a new actor or singer I admire and add some of what I like to my own performance.

What is your favourite musical? What is your favourite play? Constantly changing, but I love Urinetown, Pirates of Penzance, Sweeney Todd, Les Miserables. Plays: Arcadia (anything by Tom Stoppard), Hand to God, Black Comedy.

What excites you about performing in Rodgers and Hammerstein: Out of a Dream?This music is so rich in melody, lyrics, story, and the marriage of each to the other is truly exquisite. It’s often passed off as simple, but the genius is in that simplicity.

Be sure to catch this new and enchanting musical revue featuring over 40 songs from all 11 of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s collaborations, including The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The King and I, Carousel and Cinderella.

The renowned American entrepreneur, author and humanitarian activist, who is best known for his involvement in multi-day charitable events with the long-distance breast cancer three-day walks and AIDS rides, said everyone aspires to change the world for the better. But, he added, society shuns the idea of non-profits spending money to promote their cause.

“In Canada only 1.1 per cent of the gross do-mestic product is spent on non-profits,” he said. “In 40 years the non-profit sector has not been able to take any market share from the for-prof-its. How can it grow if it doesn’t market?”

Pallotta said historically non-profit groups have been forced to go without to keep over-head low. But he said that stance is misguided. He noted that with an initial $50,000 risk of capital, he and his colleagues were able to multiply that 1,982 times into $182 million after expenses.

Pallotta blamed the archaic mindset of non-profits not spending money as being a great contributor to lack of progress in finding a cure for cancer.

“But it’s not their fault,” he stressed, adding that it is critical society change its mindset.

Pallotta said not spending money in the chari-table sector also means non-profits lose many good people that could help these organiza-tions, and the causes they represent, to succeed.

“This kind of thinking would be incomprehen-sible in the for-profit sector,” Pallotta concluded.

Pallotta is the author of the best-selling Un-charitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Under-mine Their Potential, his newest book is Charity Case: How the Nonprofit Community Can Stand Up for Itself and Really Change the World.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has described the book as “an Apollo program for American philanthro-py and the nonprofit sector.”

Pallotta is also the founder and chief humanity officer of adversity for Humanity, a full-service brand and inspiration agency for the humanitar-ian sector. He is also founder and president of the Charity Defence Council, a national leader-ship movement dedicated to transforming the way the donating public thinks about charity and change.

And with more than 3.4 million views, Pallotta’s TED Talk is one of the more popular.

Honours organizations that have carried out their objectives with creativity and innovation, responding to the needs of the community.

Young Investor Program Canada

Ask any high school teacher and they will tell you how difficult it is to teach students about financial literacy. It isn’t exactly what gets people hopping

out of bed every morning. As a result, many students lack financial skills upon graduation and this can have many negative, long-term implica-tions.

By working closely with local teach-ers, the Young Investor Program Canada volunteer group created finan-cial literacy workshops that are engag-ing, interactive and fun. In the first year of their program, they received 90 applications to participate. In the following year, the team received over 135 applications, with most applica-tions coming from word of mouth. This level of interest is testament to their success in creating a program that en-gages youth and inspires them to take in interest in learning about financial literacy.

After the first year of the program, the team received messages from the students saying how the workshops have positively impacted their lives and how they are now knowledgeable in make informed financial decisions. Many students expressed how financial problems at home resulted in stress and conflict, but that they now feel they will be able to make an impact on their family’s financial situation with the knowledge they have gained.

Community Action Ambassadors

Seniors are a quickly growing popu-lation and it is crucial that we build frameworks for healthy aging in our community. Enter the Richmond Ad-

diction Services Society and Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives. In 2012, these two organizations got together to work on a new collaborative proj-ect that would reach out to isolated seniors.

The result of that project was a group of volunteers that would go out in the community to share knowledge about senior services and other resources that are available to older adults. They also do the important work of increas-ing awareness of and reducing stigma about mental illness and additions so that those affected will not be afraid to ask for help. They break down barriers by offering information and support in English, Punjabi and Chinese.

In just the past year alone, this group of over 30 volunteers have spoken with over 3,500 community members, been invited to give presentations at 70 events, and contributed 1,100 volunteer hours.

Nova Star Award

Shining Star Award Honours businesses for their contribution to strength-

en the community either through volunteer time/pro-grams, expertise, or funding to non-profit groups. One award is presented.

Pharmacists & owners of Shoppers Drug Mart, Richmond locations

Every year, Shining Star Award winners embody the spirit of giving by going above and beyond for their community. This year’s winner is no exception.

Since 2008, the owners and staff at Richmond’s Shoppers Drug Marts have supported the Richmond Hospital Foundation through their annual Tree of Life Campaign. It has raised over $110,000 to help fund state-of-the-art equipment so that the best care pos-sible is available to women in Richmond. By inspiring their employees and their customers to participate in the campaign, this business helps to create a culture of volunteering and giving in our community.

The list of other organizations that have benefitted from their generosity is diverse and inexhaustible: the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, the Richmond Food Bank, the McKay Elementary School Breakfast Club, and many more.

Described by long-time friend

and colleague Ed Gavsie as “the quiet voice of reason,” Lawrie Portigal was honoured at the Volunteers are Stars Awards Tuesday with the prestigious Milan Ilich Award for Leadership.

“He is most deserv-ing of this,” said Gavsie, who proudly presented Portigal with the award recognizing Portigal’s immense contributions to the non-profit sec-tor—in Richmond and beyond.

The epitome of class, Portigal described receiving the award as “an extreme honour and quite a suprise.” He said he was thankful for the opportunity to work with so many wonderful individuals in advancing the various causes in the non-profit sector.

The level of respect afforded Portigal is enormous. He was one of only two individuals asked to sit on a steer-ing committee which, following an 18-month period, led to the dis-solving of Volunteer Richmond and the Rich-mond Foundation and the creation in February of Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives.

Gavsie, who is director of visitor and partner services at Tourism Richmond, was proud to sit on the Volunteer

Richmond board with Portigal. He admires Portigal’s always calm demeanour and his abil-ity “to quickly analyze and present a reasoned opinion.”

“He has worked tire-lessly on many causes and on behalf of the non-profit sector in general,” said Gavsie. “He puts in more hours than pretty much any-one I can think of, and there is a great respect for his intelligence and people skills.”

Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives general manager Jocelyn Wong is another huge Portigal fan.

“Lawrie is a great leader who understands

the volunteer sector very well,” Wong said. “And he’s very passion-ate about it too. I think that’s a great combina-tion to have.”

A Richmond resident since 2002, Portigal has been enthusiastically engaged in the commu-nity ever since. His con-tributions to Volunteer Richmond, said Wong, speaks not only to his reliability but passion for volunteering.

“He’s really tried to raise the profile of non-profits and the work we do, and to showcase how important it is for everyone—right up to government—to work together,” said Wong.

“What we don’t can’t be done alone. I had learned so much from him and I very much value that. I think his reliability and commit-ment to the work we do inspires others to follow his lead.”

Portigal’s reach extends beyond the Richmond non-profit community. He also sits as the current chair of both Volunteer BC and Volunteer Canada.

Portigal is a retired member of the Al-berta bar. He was first employed by the City of Calgary, before becom-ing a senior executive in the coal, electricity and natural gas industries.

Lawrie Portigal honoured for his leadership

“He has worked tirelessly on

many causes and on behalf of the

non-profit sector in general.”

Making a career of Real Estate Sales years ago was a very positive move for me and my family. A decision

that I have never looked back on. For many years now, my career has been accelerated because of my

affi liation with the RE/MAX brand.Not only do I benefi t from the corporate

awareness of the RE/MAX name, but more importantly, so do my clients. In 2012

RE/MAX will continue to make signifi cant investments to ensure that my clients

and I are associated with the best known name in the industry! I also happen to enjoy a great local offi ce

Honours volunteers and volunteer groups for their service and contribu-tion to the community. Four awards are presented, recognizing two individuals and two groups.

Theresa Chan

Nothing says “commitment” like contributing over one thousand ser-vice hours every year. But that speaks to the dedication of Theresa Chan.

Chan started volunteering over a decade ago, and has been volunteer-ing on a nearly full-time basis ever since.

As a Chinese Help Line volunteer, the emotional support she provides to newcomers experiencing isolation has helped to reduce their feelings of loneliness and depression. Her expert knowledge of local services in her role as the SUCCESS front desk recep-tionist has helped new immigrants to engage with the community, so they can reach their full potential in their new surroundings. Her support of vulnerable populations can also be seen in her work as an income tax clinic volunteer, where she helps ensure that low-income families and

seniors receive their much-needed benefits.

Chan’s talents even extend to act-ing. Her role as a performer with the B.C. Responsible & Problem Gambling Program helps to delivers important educational messages on how to prevent problem gambling.

In accepting the award, a clearly-overwhelmed and humble Chan thanked SUCCESS and said it was “a pleasure to be with you all,” referring to many nominees and volunteers in the crowd.

Sarah Neil

We can only imagine how many lives she has touched.

As a crisis line volunteer at Chimo Community Services, Sarah Neil plays the essential role of helping people in our community feel less lonely when they have nowhere else to turn. Her compassionate, listening ear provides nonjudgmental support and a safe space for people to explore and release their emotional distress. And her ability to keep calm under pres-sure has enabled her to do the vital work of handling suicide calls where

immediate action was required to keep the caller safe.

Neil empowers callers by helping them to realize their own problem-solving potential. By encouraging callers to rely on their own strengths, she helps them to discover their own resilience, even in times of crisis. Her dedication, passion, and leadership has landed her in the important role of coaching both new Crisis Line volunteers and of coaching new coaches. These volunteers can then provide support to callers of their own. In this way, Neil’s work has strengthened the crisis line capacity for not only Chimo, but also for all the crisis line networks throughout B.C. that Chimo participates in.

While graciously accepting her award, Neil was quick to extend congratulations to “everyone here for contributing to their community.”

Community Meal Volunteers at St. Alban’s Anglican Church

There is something healing about

a hot meal. There is something even more healing about serving that hot meal to others and to making nutritious and delicious food available to those in need.

Every Tuesday evening, members of the Community Meal Volunteers at St. Alban’s Anglican Church open their hands and hearts to the poor, lonely, homeless and depressed in order to create a safe space where everyone is welcome to sit down together for a commu-nity meal.

The volunteers never fail to show up every Tuesday. They have been serving over 150 guests every week since 1997. There are vol-unteers who set up the hall, serve the meal, prepare the food in the kitchen, wash the dishes, greet the guests, do the laundry, and help clean the hall.

Their caring hearts and hands are matched with warm and welcoming smiles. In short, they do everything that is required to create a comfortable and friendly environment for all the patrons of the community meal.

While the volunteers are from various backgrounds and ethnici-ties, they serve as “one big family.”

Volunteer group at Richmond Mental Health Consumer and Friends Society

Since 1995, the Richmond Mental Health Consumer and Friends Society has contributed an astounding 40,000 volunteer hours to our local community.

Whether it’s preparing confer-ence materials for Richmond Mental Health workshops, work-ing as traffic and signage elves at the Richmond Christmas Fund Drive-Thru, growing food for the Richmond Food Bank, writing greeting cards for senior home residences, or route marshalling for the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Ride Don’t Hide fundraising event, this volunteer group is always happy to lend a hand wherever help is needed. And that’s just a small sample of their contributions from the past 10 years.

This hard-working group also provides mental health consum-ers with the chance to join mu-tually supportive peer networks and to empower themselves by contributing to the community in a meaningful way.

Shooting Star Awards

Honours youth volunteers under 25 years of age. Two awards are presented.

Beini YinFuture young lead-

ers have Beini Yin to thank for raising the bar on youth leader-ship. She has dedicated her volunteer career to showing youth that they can make a real and lasting impact in our community.

Founder and presi-dent of J.N. Burnett Secondary School’s Breakers that Believe club, an organization which encourages youth to volunteer, Yin’s vision ensures that students will have op-portunities to engage in volunteering and that they will have sup-portive peer networks in which to do so. The important work that she does will cultivate a sense of volunteerism in youth that they will no doubt keep with them throughout their lives, the effects of which will be felt throughout Richmond for years to come.

This is just a small sample of the work she does in the community. It is rare to see such a level of ambition and achievement from any-one, let alone someone who is only in Grade 11.

“It’s such an honour (to accept this award),” said Yin. “I hope more hyouth will continue to volunteer and help to make a difference.”

Marco YipMarco Yip is a key

figure when it comes to youth volunteerism

in our city. His tremen-dous contributions have made it clear that youth are a leading driver of change and influence and a veritable force to be reckoned with in Richmond. Since 2011, he has contributed an astounding total of over 1,500 hours through his various volunteer roles.

To name just one of his remarkable achievements, this individual was the co-founder of the Rich-mond Schools Youth

Volunteer Associa-tion, a network which brings together all the local high school volunteer clubs. This is an organization which has no precedent in Richmond, and this individual’s vision will set the foundation for a strong tradition of youth volunteerism for years to come in our community.

As if that weren’t enough, somehow Yip

still finds the time to volunteer as the presi-dent of his high school volunteer club, as a daycamp volunteer with the City Centre Community Centre, as a gift wrapper and toy sorter at the Richmond Christmas Fund, and the list goes on.

In accepting the award, Yip was quick to thank all the teachers who encouraged him to volunteer.

Marco Yip is a key volunteer.

McMath was a visionary who was very much ahead of his time. Also an ardent sports-man and community soc-cer coach, he successfully promoted the concept of building parks and schools close together.

Tickets for the awards recognition banquet are $35 each or a table of six for $175. For more infor-mation, email [email protected].

Finalists unveiled for 2015 Richmond Sports Awards

Gawdin suits up for Canadaby Don FennellSports Editor

One of four B.C. players, Richmond’s Glenn Gawdin earned an assist in Canada’s 11-6 opening-game win over Latvia Thursday at the World Under-18 Hockey Championship in Zug, Switzerland.

Gawdin, 18, is ranked 59th in the final Central Scout-ing ranking for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft June 26 and 27 in Sunrise, Fla.

healthy living

The key is to keep on moving

by Carol LepineContributor

Staying physically active and engaged in life can significantly improve

quality of life for people as they age, according to the In-ternational Council on Active Aging.

There is clear evidence that social relationships and physical exer-cise can help buffer depression, promote mental health, and help older adults cope with stressful situations.

A number of factors may influ-ence activity levels while aging, in-cluding illness, chronic conditions, past and current activity levels, and injuries, according to Debbie Her-tha, the City of Richmond’s Seniors Wellness Coordinator. But, she says, staying active often comes down to simply getting up and out of your home every day.

As an example of active aging, Hertha shares the story of Jane, 62, an immigrant from the Philippines. Jane keeps her body and mind ac-tive with regular fitness classes at Minoru Place Activity Centre, walks with her family, healthy eating, playing music, bird watching, yoga, gardening, entertaining and travel. This has not always been the case, as in 2012 Jane underwent surgery to remove her right kidney due to cancer. The following year a diag-nosis of breast cancer resulted in a partial mastectomy, eight chemo-therapy treatments and 22 radia-tion sessions before Jane was able to return to her active lifestyle.

When asked what helped her battle the depression, fatigue and

pain associated with her illnesses, she shares, “To always stay positive, be around people you love, seek professional advice, and keep your faith going.”

Mary, a spry 89 year old, is a great example of active aging says Donna Bishop, fitness coordinator at Steveston Community Centre. According to Bishop, Mary has been attending regular fitness classes at the Centre since 1999, rarely missing a session.

When not attending a fitness class she can often be found outdoors, walking around Garry Point. Regu-lar exercise allows Mary to cook her own meals, garden, live in her own home, volunteer, and care for her cat. Mary has never driven a car, and makes active transportation part of her daily routine. The key, Mary says, is to “keep moving.”

Structured fitness classes are not the only way to keep active, ac-cording to Bishop and Hertha. Join-ing a club or group, for instance, connects older adults with peers who share a common interest, thereby contributing to wellness by reducing social isolation and loneliness.

Programs delivered through com-munity centres offer that much needed social component along with ways to stay physically and mentally active.

To learn more about active aging, check out Richmond’s Move for Health Week, May 4-8.

Older adults are invited to take part in the Wee Walk Celebra-tion on Friday May 8 at 10 a.m. at Minoru Park, an intergenerational event where you can explore doz-ens of activity stations designed to encourage healthy active living for people of all ages.

Sun wins titleThe future seems bright for

10-year-old Richmond golfer Freddy Sun.

The youngster won the 10-and-under boys’ division title after back-to-back rounds of 73 at last weekend’s Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Kikkor Classic at Sur-rey’s Morgan Creek Golf Club.

Sun, who was among 122 ju-nor golfers in the field, said he “struck the ball very well and managed to make many bird-ies.” He added that the course was in good condition and very challenging.

The event’s next stop is at the Pagoda Ridge Golf Course in Langley April 25 and 26.

Richmond Minor settles on coaching team

On the heels of the an-nouncement earlier this week that Derek Chichak will become head coach of its Midget A1 team, Richmond Minor Hockey has appointed Mike Ikeda as head coach of the asso-ciation’s Midget A2 for the 2015-16 Season.

Ikeda was head coach of the Bantam A2 last sea-son.

With him behind the bench, the team began the season in Flight 8 and finished in Flight 5—a remarkable accomplish-ment. Equally impressive was the fact that team entered four tournaments and came away with three championships.

lkeda has been a Rich-mond Minor Hockey As-sociation head coach since 2008. He was an assistant coach of the University of B.C. Varsity Hockey Team from 2004 until 2008.

Prior to coaching at UBC, Ikeda worked as a Vancouver Giants’ player scout (2000-2002) and was a professional hockey player in the Japan Ice Hockey League (August 1994 to March 1998). Be-fore his time in Japan, he was a UBC Varsity player (1989 – 1993) and a Junior ‘A’ player for the Calgary Canucks of the Alberta Ju-nior Hockey League (1986 to1988).

“We are excited that Mike has agreed to take on this new challenge and we know that his coaching style will be a great match for the assignment,” said Richmond Minor Hockey president Carolyn Hart.

Chuckers relish in start of baseball seasonOpening weekend included re-opening of Latrace Field by Don FennellSports Editor

Outside of a persistent wind, a picture-perfect day greeted the Richmond baseball community for open-ing day Saturday at Latrace Field.

Coinciding with the official opening of new sports fields at Minoru Park, the new Latrace Field has become Rich-mond’s first artificial turf baseball field and is designed to also accommodate soccer, field hockey and lacrosse.

Baseball Canada president Ray Carter was among the dignitaries, who called it an honour to be cel-ebrating the opening of only the second artificial baseball park (the other being at UBC) in Western Canada. Carter was especially pleased, however, to be included because of his longtime affection for Bob Latrace, for whom the field is named.

“I coached against Bob for many years and I can tell you he was a fine coach, baseball person and more than that a great man,” said Carter.

Since taking over as president of Richmond City Base-ball last October, John Braaten and his colleagues have spent countless hours working to advance the game lo-cally. He said the association is dedicated to grassroots and nationally-structured programs incuding Rally Cap T-ball was was introduced two seasons ago, and to the Grand Slam program for Tadpole Division players focusing on early skill development. Winter baseball programs and the possibility of introducing the game to physical educa-tion classes is also being explored.

Richmond’s Midget AAA Chuckers also helped make opening weekend that much more memorable by taking both ends of a Sunday double-headler versus Cloverdale, wining 5-3 and 5-4. The Chuckers host Nanaimo in a twinbill this Sunday at noon at 2:30 p.m.

Don Fennell photoJoined by Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Troy Latrace threw out the first pitch Saturday in the official re-opening of Latrace Field in Minoru Park. The field is dedicated in the memory of Latrace’s father Bob who was a great contributor to baseball in Richmond.

Q: What is blepharitis?

A: Blepharitis is inflammation that affects the eyelids. Blepharitis usually involves the part of the eyelid where the eyelashes grow. Blepharitis commonly occurs when tiny oil glands located near the base of the eyelashes malfunction. This leads to inflamed, irritated and itchy eyelids. Some systemic conditions that can cause blepharitis include; rosacea, allergies (to eye medications, contact lens solutions, or eye makeup), and seborrheic dermatitis. Treatment options are available for blepharitis, most commonly including artificial tear therapy with lid hygiene.

Q: There are so many options for toilets these days, how do I know which to choose? Brad. Richmond BC

A: Well Brad, as the saying goes…. ”to each his own throne.” Well…. it’s a saying now….

There are many manufacturers in the market place today. When we supply toilets for customers we stick to brand name products, like American Standard, Kohler, Toto etc. In some cases, these toilets may be more expensive than others you may find on special at your local hardware store, and I am not making any claim either way as to the quality of those toilets, but we all know you get what you pay for.

I remember supplying a price to a friend of mine for a new one piece toilet. I told him the price was $350.00. He told me that was cheap. I said, cheap, that’s a lot of money to most people. His answer was, “for something I will use several times a day, and have for the next 30yrs. That’s cheap.”

Like most of you… I never thought of it that way… but he does have a point.

Don’t forget that the City of Richmond will give you $100 per toilet you replace in your home to a maximum of 2 toilets. Visit our website www.pjbmechanical.com, and click on the link for your local municipality.

Before you start an exterior painting project, what are the essential steps you need to take in order to ensure that your paint job lasts?The most critical part of ensuring a long lasting exterior paint job is the preparation work to be done before you get to the finish coat application. Below are the key steps of preparing your home to ensure a long lasting final product:

1. Ensure your substrate is in good condition. Problems such as wood rot will cause paint to fail within months of application. You can check for rot by pushing a pencil into the wood and if its soft and the pencil goes through the wood you will need to have small repair work done first.2. It is critical that the substrate you apply product to is thoroughly cleaned. Pressure washing siding removes pesky dirt and grease which interfere with proper adhesion of the finish coat.3. You will then need to wait a week for the substrate to dry out and then give special attention to areas of peeling and flaking paint. These areas need to be thoroughly scraped and sanded to ensure a firm surface for your finish coat. Make sure to remove any dust caused by sanding.4. Some surfaces will require application of a primer to ensure there is something for the finish coat to bite too. This will depend on the surface and the finish coat product.5. If you see any cracks or holes, you must fill these. Latex caulking is advised for most cracks, while exterior spackle will help fill any holes in your substrate.6. The final step before the finish coat is to make sure you choose the correct product. There are many different paint and stain options to choose from. The choice of paint depends on what was applied previously, the type of surface and the look you are going with.Feel free to contact us for assistance with understanding these steps in more detail.

I have been trying to get pregnant for over 6 months and have been unsuccessful. What do you recommend?

There are many reasons why someone might not be able to get pregnant. In some cases, it is due to an imbalance of hormones, non-regular cycles, among other factors.

Recently, there have been some supplements that have shown promise. Most recently, one study increased the pregnancy rate from 10% to 33% in women after 6 months of continued use on chasteberry, arginine, and green tea. Chasteberry is known to help with hormonal imbalances and can regulate an irregular cycle. Along with arginine and green tea, the basal temperature was significantly increased to 98F during the luteal phase of the cycle and increased mid-luteal phase progesterone. Some of the better brands of these supplements are Medi Herb Chasteberry, AOR Arginine, and AOR Green Tea capsules, all at twice a day regimens. I also recommend Thorne Co-enzyme Q10 as a high dose anti-oxidant for increasing fertility.Alongside these supplements to increase fertility, a proper prenatal vitamin is very important. I prefer whole food vitamins, which provide optimal nutrition for moms and babies. An example is Innate Trimester 1 and 2, or Trimester 3 and Post. Lastly, a proper omega 3 to provide DHA for brain development is also important. Consider Nordic Naturals Omega DHA. To learn more about increasing your chances of pregnancy, contact the pharmacists at Pharmasave Steveston Village!

Why does fl uoride help reduce dental cavities?There are a couple of reasons why fluoride is an effective protective agent for tooth decay and there is lots of scientific evidence for these effects. The first reason is that it strengthens the teeth by significantly reinforcing tooth enamel. This naturally makes the teeth less susceptible to the acid attack by cavity-causing bacteria.

Our teeth are made of a mineral called hydroxy apatite. When the pH of our mouth environment drops below 5.5, which occurs regularly when food is present (especially sugars – sucrose, fructose, lactose, etc.) our hydroxy apatite demineralises (begins to dissolve). This happens in everybody on a daily basis because of the bacteria present in our mouths. However, when fluoride is present during the remineralisation process, when the pH rises again, the hydroxy apatite mineral molecules combine with fluoride molecules to form fluorapatite within the tooth enamel structure. Fluorapatite by contrast is a harder mineral and does not begin to dissolve or demineralise until the pH in our mouths drops below 4.5. Consequently as the pH in our mouth naturally cycles, when fluoride is present, our teeth are re-mineralizing at pH between 5.5 and 4.5 instead of demineralising. Therefore this pH window allows maturation of the enamel making it stronger. The second reason why fluoride is a protective agent is that it also inhibits the ability of the cavity-causing bacteria to produce acid in the first place, and it reduces the ability of acid producing bacteria to stick to our enamel. Fluoride comes in lots of different forms and concentrations. The most common are 0.243% over the counter varieties of neutral sodium fluoride tooth pastes or gels. Rinses are normally 0.05% concentration. Prescription toothpaste (yes, there are such things for those people who need it) are 1.1% concentration. Dental offices also have higher 5.0% concentrations to apply as a varnish directly to the teeth. This latter variety is proving to be the most effective preventative application of fluoride and more of these products are becoming available.Some people are concerned about fluoride and its potential toxicity. Yes, it’s toxic but at super high concentrations which are actually impossible to produce in any municipal water supply. We do not have fluoridated water in Vancouver but many communities in Canada do and many others have it naturally occurring in their water supplies.

Q: How can I maximize my donations to my favourite charity?

A : Did you know you can arrange for your favourite charity to receive a donation in the event of your death? A gift of life insurance is an easy and economical way to make a charitable contribution − a lasting

testimonial of your care and concern. “There are a number of ways to provide for a gift of life insurance. The method you choose will depend on your preferences and circumstances,” says Daniel Wang, expert at The Co-operators.1) The most common method of using life insurance to benefit a qualified

charity is to simply “gift” a life insurance policy you no longer need to the charity. You can transfer ownership of the policy to a charity of your choice and receive an immediate income tax receipt for the cash surrender value of the policy.

One benefit to you: A gift of life insurance may allow you to make a larger gift than you could make from your current disposable income.

2) A different option is to buy a new policy and sign it over to your charity. Again, if you make your charity the owner of the new policy, you will be entitled to tax receipts for any premium payments you make.

3) You might also choose to make the charity the beneficiary of a policy without transferring ownership. At the time of your death the charity will receive the policy proceeds and the tax benefits will accrue to your estate.

There is so much to think about when planning for the future, it’s a good idea to consult an insurance professional for advice on matters pertaining to estate and gift planning.

If you have any questions or want the full details about this type of coverage, please call your Co-operators financial advisor, Daniel Wang.

Western Coin & Stamp

Last month I listed the bills that can be found in circulation that may have value. This month I promised to do the coins.

In coins there was the 2005 P non-magnetic penny which for awhile was selling for $5,000 and more.For the year 2006 there were 6 different types of pennies. The differences are the markings under the Queen’s portrait. One version still sells for $50 and up. In 1973 there was a 25 cent commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the R.C.M.P. It came with two different portraits of Queen Elizabeth. The common portrait is smaller with the beads away from the edge. The scarce variety (called Large Bust) has the same portrait as 1971, 1972 and 1974. It has a larger portrait with the beads up against the edge.In the 1992 125th Provincial quarter series there are 4 different quarters with die rotations that can make them worth up to $1,000 each. A die rotation is identifi ed by fl ipping your coin side to side. The correct axis is both sides facing up. A 90 degree turn on any coin starts at $400. A coin with a 180 degree turn (ie: the opposite side upside down) starts at $600 - $1,000. The same rotation occurs on some 1999 Millennium quarters as well as a different portrait of the Queen. Again these quarters can be worth up to $500.We have special sale prices on both the Charlton government paper money and Charlton Canadian coin catalogues. Only $9.95 each, this is a savings of more than 50 percent. With these two catalogues you can now see all the scarce and rare versions of these bank notes and coins and tell them apart from the common versions.

Q: Why do people of all ages need to see a Chiropractor?

A: Life is full of minor and major traumas that occur daily and also much stress. Right from birth, children have numerous falls and tumbles and as they age, get involved in various sports which can cause misalignments in the spine. As we get older we may be involved in car accidents, have poor posture, fatigue or repetitive strains from work. These can all negatively affect the spine and nervous system and prevent us from achieving optimal health and wellness. This is why it is so important to have your spine checked throughout your life.

Q: What’s My Latest Beef?

A: The Harper Conservatives, with their so called “tough on crime” penchant, have a nasty habit of writing Charter of Rights and Freedom breaking Bills that fail time and time again. This costs countless millions of dollars and wastes the time and resources of our Supreme Court, not to mention the costs for companies like mine vainly trying to keep up with moving legal targets. And the Cons are continuing down this lunatic path with utter garbage Bills like Bill C-51, the now infamous spy bill. With their majority in the House of Commons, Bill C-51 will no doubt pass and will hit the Supreme Court wall yet again - and we will all have to bear the cost yet again…and again...

And where are our local Richmond Harper Con MPs in all of this? One of them is no doubt chowing down shark’s fin soup, the other your deity of choice only knows. But not one of them has spoken up against this lunacy...ever...!

Time for a new federal government please. Even Harold Steve’s cows would be a distinct improvement over the current crop of mindless sheep kowtowing to Harper’s every crazy whim.

Q: Will my hearing get worse if I don’t wear hearing aids?

A: The answer to this question is that the progression of your hearing loss likely occurs due to aging regardless you are wearing hearing aids or not.However, using hearing aids will keep your cognitive function high. Seniors with the hearing loss choose not to wear hearing aids are high risk populations for cognitive impairment e.g. dementia, depression etc.Speech signals are invisible work-out for your brain. Using hearing aids will stimulate your hearing nerves and hearing centers of your brain. “Use it or lose it” principle applies to your hearing system. The longer the hearing nerve is without stimulation, the less active your brain becomes in processing sounds.So, the bottom line is that your hearing will likely and gradually get worse over time wheatear you wear hearing aids or not. But your ears need proper exercise like your other body parts. Hearing aids provide sound stimulation and keep your ears function optimally.

Q: Why does the Appraiser value the property differently from our Assessments?

A: Myth: Assessed value should equate to market value.

Reality: While most provinces support the concept that assessed value approximates estimated market value, this often is not the case. Examples include when interior remodelling has occurred and the assessor is unaware of the improvements, or when properties in the vicinity have not been reassessed for an extended period. Nearby development of external properties which block views or create increased nuisance may negatively affect value and the Assessors have not caught up. Assessments date of valuation is July of the previous year so an appraisal performed in October of 2014 can be 15 months in variance to the date that the Assessor is using. Assessors utilize inventory based on the last time a human actually visited the property and that could be years ago. If the inventory is now changed then the Assessor may not be aware of those changes and this is not reflected on your file.

But as competitive as Panoussi may be internally, his willing-ness to sit on a plane for 17-plus hours—during a 13,203 kilometre jour-ney—speaks as much to his love for his fello wplayers, with whom he’s established lifelong friendships, as the game itself.

It is for individuals

like Panoussi that Jim Schumann, Jim Mann, Wayne Braun and others established the affectionately-referred-to PIC in 1999. But it’s also equally because of individuals like Panoussi that the PIC continues. And will continue to grow.

“It’s a celebration of sport and fellow-ship,” PIC chairman Jim Schuman says of the event, which brings to-gether club champions from various countries around the world, as well as from the U.S.

and B.C.As much as anything,

the PIC is grassroots. It’s continuing mission is to grow the sport as much and as far as possible. And it’s because of individuals as passion-ate about curling as Panoussi that the sport is reaching new ter-ritories.

The 2015 PIC contin-ues through Sunday afternoon at the Rich-mond Curling Club. The international and B.C. finals are set for 10:30 a.m. Sunday, with the PIC finals at 1:30 p.m.

Q: Chattels and Fixtures What’s the Difference?

A: Chattels are items of personal property in a home ‘by their own weight alone’, though they might be connected by pipes and wires. Examples : fridge, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasherFixtures are items that have been attached to the property, becoming part of the home itself. Examples: built-in shelving, wall to wall carpet, light fixtures, Tv’s on wall brackets, built in vacuum systems with accessories, garage door openers with remote controls, alarm systemsIn an offer to purchase, Buyers and Sellers must be clear about which items the Seller will leave behind, and which fixtures (if any) they can remove. There is a huge grey-area between chattels and fixtures, so make sure that the contract is clear to everyone Whether you are buying OR selling, leave nothing to interpretation, make it clear in writing.If you are in doubt, spell it out in the offer, whichever side you are on. Here is just one rule to guide you .....if you need a tool to remove the item, it is probably a fixture and needs to be clarified. Once a contract is signed by all parties, changes are not a ‘given’. Before you sign, ask the questions ....If a mistake happens, or there is any uncertainty, it can prove very costly at possession time.

Q: I want to do a kitchen renovation in my home that was built in 1978. Should I be concerned about asbestos?

A: Asbestos was commonly used in building materials until the late 1980’s. It was used in insulations, floor tiles, textured ceilings, drywall mud and many other areas. Asbestos that is left undisturbed and is not frayed or crumbling poses little health risk.

When considering any renovations in pre 1990 homes it is always recommended that you have those areas sampled and lab tested by a qualified professional. If asbestos is found hire an asbestos abatement/removal contractor to safely remove all sources of asbestos in the area to be renovated.

Your families health is worth the extra precautions and expense.

Q: Looking at my BBQ and want to give it a good clean. What are some tricks to make this easier?

A: Cleaning your BBQ is always a big task especially if you only do it once a year. If you can fi nd time to do it more often, the build-up of grease, food, and deposits doesn’t become overwhelming.

I always start by cleaning the inside of the BBQ by putting a pan of water on the grill and turn on one burner to start the water to steam. The steam softens any build-ups inside the BBQ making them easier to come off. Once you have the water steaming for 10 minutes you can turn off the burners and let the BBQ cool down. I put on some rubber gloves and use soapy water, a non-metal scraping tool (such as a plastic drywall putty knife to prevent scratching my BBQ), a micro-fi ber cloth, and a good dose of elbow grease. When cleaning the inside I remove my grease drip pan and put a mop bucket under the BBQ to catch the dirty water saving it from running all over my patio or into my grass. When inside the BBQ I give the burner tubes and diffusers a good examination to ensure there are in good order.

The exterior of my BBQ is stainless steel so the simple act of wiping it down with a glass cleaner and micro-fi ber cloth does wonders. By removing the dust and dirt that falls onto the exterior you will eliminate any contaminants that may leads to rust marks from showing up. Note that these rust marks are not “in” the stainless but “on” the stainless and by wiping them off the rust will be gone.

I just clean stainless steel grates in my kitchen sink to get rid of the food and grease build-up then I transfer them to my dishwasher for one more good clean before putting my BBQ back together.

If your BBQ has seen better days and it is time to replace it, or if you need to upgrade (or even downsize), please stop by the Richmond Firebox to see our selection.


Th e three-storey townhomes in the heart of South Surrey are suitable for professional couples, young families and downsizers alike.

“It’s in a superb location, just a couple of minutes from Morgan Crossing Lifestyle Center, shop-ping galore, access to beaches, the border is a stone’s throw away, you can easily get downtown to watch a hockey game, and yet, the outdoors are all around you with plenty of nearby trails,” he says.

For Breeze, it’s also about bring-ing that beauty and space indoors by having the kind of layout that suits a variety of lifestyles without feeling cramped or closed-in.

“It’s all effi cient, open spaces, that gives people a real sense of home,” says Andreasen.

Two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes are built with lasting style in mind, using modern architec-ture that refl ects elements of the great outdoors. Th at’s why Breeze is rooted in a philosophy that cel-ebrates the use of natural materi-als, including cedar detailing and fl oor-to-ceiling glass walls that let the outside, in.

When walking into a Breeze home, guests will notice clean designs with sustainability in

mind, like the motion activated light switches, while large, open kitchen spaces and dining islands made of granite/quartz are perfect for gathering friends and family.

“Th e cool thing is that you can modify anything,” says Andreasen, speaking of the unique function that allows buyers to customize their space.

“Our personalization program, i.D. By Me off ers a long list of cus-tomizable options. You don’t just get color choice A or B, you get to pick from a general color varia-tions, alterations and upgrades – it makes the cookie cutter disappear from personal space.”

i.D. By Me gives homebuyers the chance to be their own interior designer and ensure that Breeze is more than just a home – it’s a cre-ation. From upgraded appliances in the kitchen, heated fl oors in the bathroom, or built in organizers throughout the home, Adera’s personalization

program off ers a variety of choices and changes that can be made to fi t any lifestyle, personality or

budget.Th e West Coast Club

is a stand-alone amenity

that serves as a 3,700 sq. ft social space and wellness center. Th ere is a wide range of exercise equip-ment, a yoga room, infrared sauna and change room with shower, as well as a large chef ’s kitchen and expansive outdoor covered patios for entertainment.

“You can meet your friends at the West Coast Club to sit

and chat, turn on the TV in lounge, enjoy the gigantic

outdoor deck with

a fi replace, relax, cook and have a couple of drinks at sunset,” says Andreasen.

Homes at Breeze start in the low $300’s with less than 8 homes remaining.

“We just released the gems of the crowd: our display homes,” he says. “Th ey are the crème de la crème because they are designed to look as good as they possibly can.”

Th e Sales Centre is open daily from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at #11 – 16223 23A Avenue in South Surrey. For more information, call 604-582-1113, email [email protected] or visit adera.com.

West Coast modern in vibrant South Surrey

Breeze, an award winning townhome community by Adera Development, blurs the lines between the outdoors and indoors by reflecting West

Coast living at its best. According to vice president of marketing and sales, Eric Andreasen, that means incorporating the convenience of a suburban lifestyle in the heart of what makes B.C. so beautiful: nature.

Changes in communication and behav-iour are very common in people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.

Area families can learn practical techniques for living with those changes during a free tele-workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Understanding Communication” runs on Monday, April 20.

“As a caregiver, you may find it increasingly difficult to communicate and connect with the person with dementia,” says Jan Robson, provincial co-ordinator at the Society.

The tele-workshop for family caregivers explores how communication is affected by dementia and offers insights about effec-tive communication strategies and ways of

providing care that focus on the needs of the person.

It is offered twice on April 20, at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m.

Tele-workshops are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health-care providers. Participants can ask questions and share with others who are in similar situations.

Connecting to the sessions is as easy as phoning toll-free 1-866-994-7745, then en-tering pass code 1122333 when prompted, or visiting momentum.adobeconnect.com/alzheimerbc and entering as a Guest to listen to and view the presentation online at the same time.

World champion skater’s competition-worn outfit to be displayed at Richmond Olympic Experience


World champion figure skater Patrick Chan joined Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie and other members of council for Thursday’s groundbreaking ceremony at 2 River Green, the latest addition to the first phase of ASPAC Developments’ residential project that aims to be Richmond’s answer to Coal Harbour.

Featuring two waterfront towers, and a dock and pier directly out front that dip into the Middle Arm of the Fraser River, 2 River Green will feature more than 170 homes on the over-all 27-acre site owned by ASPAC, another two of 25 towers that will eventually sprout from the grounds around the Richmond Olympic Oval over the next 10 to 15 years.

Chan performed two numbers for invited guests from area elementary schools, as well as local dignitaries that included Couns. Bill McNulty, Linda McPhail and Alexa Loo.

Chan presented his competition worn out-fit from the 2011 World Championships—which he wore during the free program that helped earn him his first world title—to the soon-to-open Richmond Olympic Experi-ence, a museum showcasing Richmond’s

link to the Olympics.Chan took the time to skate with members

of Richmond’s Connaught Skating Club and Kerrisdale Figure Skating Club, sharing his skating experience and inspiring them to fol-low their dreams.

River Green was ASPAC’s first project, with six buildings having been completed in 2013.
