Charges laid afterraid on meth lab

Three Richmond men areamong a group that have beencharged following the discoveryof a massive meth lab in a resi-dential area in the summer.

Jeffrey Zeng, 24, Frank Ng,23, and David Leobrera, 27, all ofRichmond and Alexander Liang,20, of Vancouver, were formallycharged last week.

They face a shopping list ofdrug production and traffickingcharges including:! Conspiracy to produce a con-trolled substance (methamphet-amine);! Conspiracy to possess a con-trolled substance for the purposeof trafficking (methamphet-amine);

! Production of a controlled sub-stance (methamphetamine);! Possession a controlled sub-stance for the purpose of traffick-ing (methamphetamine);! Possession a controlled sub-stance for the purpose of traffick-ing (ecstasy);! Possess chemicals and equip-ment knowing that they would beused to produce or traffic in meth-amphetamine.

They made their first courtappearance on Thursday atRichmond Provincial Court butthe matter has been put over untilNov. 3. A woman arrested at thetime of the incident was releasedwithout charges.

“These are dangerous andvolatile operations,” said Supt.Brian Cantera, officer in charge of

Beekeepers abuzz overUBC genetic research

Beekeepers are hoping twoimportant breakthrough stud-ies being done by University ofBritish Columbia researcherswill help solve a worldwideproblem that is leading to a dan-gerous decline in honeybees.

For at least the last fiveyears, North American beekeep-ers have lost an average of 30per cent of their hives annuallybecause of infectious diseases

and climate change.As the primary insect farm-

ers depend upon for the pollina-tion of commercial crops, thedecline in the lowly honeybeeis being seen as the agriculturalequivalent of the canary in thecoal mine. From B.C.’s blueber-ry crops to its tree fruit industryto the canola fields of Alberta,western Canadian crops are atrisk if bee populations continuetheir downward spiral.

Some candidates cautious of living wageCampaign asks nominees to endorse anti-poverty policy

A campaign urging municipal candidatesto adopt a living wage policy if elected pro-voked varying responses from RichmondCity Hall hopefuls.

The Living Wage for Families Campaignhas called on all civic election candidatesin B.C. to help low-income families in theircities by passing a living wage policy if theyget the public nod on Nov. 19.

Currently sitting at $18.81 per hour, theliving wage’s primary determinants, accord-ing to the campaign formula, are incomefrom employment less family expenses.

Thus, the living wage is the hourly rateof pay at which a household can meet itsexpenses once government transfers havebeen added and government deductions havebeen subtracted.

The target wage does not include: creditcard, loan, or other debt/interest payments;savings for retirement or for children’s futureeducation; owning a home; anything beyondminimal recreation, entertainment or holidaycosts.

The Living Wage Campaign is ask-ing municipalities to become living wageemployers. Or better yet, follow the exampleof businesses like Vancity credit union whichis committed to paying the living wage, notonly to their direct staff, but also to contract-ed staff in traditionally low-paying sectorssuch as cleaning and security.

The News canvassed some of Richmond’selection candidates about how much weightthey’d place behind the push for the livingwage in their city, which last year earnedthe dubious distinction of having the highestconcentration of people living in poverty inB.C. at 26.1 per cent.

Both incumbent Linda Barnes, of theRCA slate, and former school board chairLinda McPhail, of Richmond First, stoppedshort of all-out support, but would like to seethe living wage possibility fully investigated.

“We do pay our employees a living wage,”said Barnes. “When we contract out work,that’s not somethingwe’ve been asking, but itis something we shouldperhaps be looking into.We would, however, haveto investigate the ramifi-cations.

“Some organizations,I think, may find it dif-ficult to comply though.But as a leader, it’s some-thing we, as a city, shouldcertainly be looking at.”

McPhail said she’sinterviewed staff at the City of NewWestminster, which became the first munici-pality in Canada to adopt a living wagepolicy.

After discovering the living wage hadgone up more than $2 per hour in 18 months,however, she’s concerned about the knock-oneffects for Richmond.

“I asked the finance staff at the City ofNew Westminster what were the cost impli-cations of applying the living wage rate andthey said that at the time of adoption (April,

2010), no staff were affected,” McPhail said.“As to … contracts with the city, I was

told that they request contractors to pay aliving wage but have noidea if the contractorincurs the cost or not.

“I am also concernedabout the effect on col-lective bargaining andwage negotiations.”

McPhail found thatliving wage employersmust also apply and re-certify as a Living WageEmployer every twoyears.

“There may be extrastaff costs associated with this.”

RCA candidate De Whalen, said she“fully supports” the living wage.

“If elected, I would urge city council toat least investigate what the wages are forthe contracted out services,” said Whalen,a longtime advocate in Richmond for low-income families, poverty and affordablehousing.

“We would go for the New Westminstermodel. They investigated it first, but found

that their contracted ser-vices were pretty close inthe first place to the liv-ing wage.

“But it’s not just thewage, it’s the benefitsthat go with it as well. Ithink it cost the taxpayerin New West about onequarter of one per centof the annual budget. Itwas a really low cost andit set up New West as amodel employer.”

When people are paid a living wage, saidWhalen, the money stays in the community.

“It goes to your neighbours, local busi-nesses such as the corner store. It doesn’tusually go to the Bahamas.”

RITE candidate andcurrent school trusteeChak Au is also fullybehind the push, buttempered his enthu-siasm by suggestingNew Westminster andRichmond are not twopeas in the same pod.

“I support the conceptbehind the campaign that… from my research, theliving wages policies havetaken many forms in dif-ferent places and the actual effectiveness forimproving the lives of low-income workersdepends on the scope of coverage, the imple-mentation and enforcement provisions,” Ausaid in an email to the News.

“If elected, I will actively explore theoptions relevant to the Richmond context.”

hopefuls running in next month’s civic elec-tion will get a chance to state their cases at aseries of all-candidates meetings.

the Federal Drug Enforcement Program inB.C.

“They pose significant risks to the safety ofall residents and the safety of first responderscalled upon to investigate them.

“These risks include fire, explosions,ground-water contamination, and hazardousby-products including toxic fumes that resultfrom production.”

Cantera urged anyone who may have anyinformation about the presence of clandestinelabs in their neighbourhood to view them asserious hazards and phone police immediately.

The News reported back in July how theRCMP’s federal drug team and Richmondofficers raided the lab in the 6200 block ofGibbons Drive.

Upon their arrival, they arrested a man anda woman. Three other men were arrested whileallegedly attempting to flee out the back ofthe residence. A Health Canada chemist con-firmed at the time that the operation was anactive, bubbling methamphetamine drug lab.

It appeared that the residence was usedsolely for the purpose of producing syntheticdrugs.

A second search warrant was executed ata Richmond apartment in the 3300 block ofCorvette Way in relation to this investigation.No clandestine lab was located in the apart-ment but there was evidence found to supportthe charges of production of methamphet-amine.

Lab: Poses riskfor all residentsContinued from page 1

Last weekend more than 150 beekeep-ers gathered in Richmond for a B. C.Honey Producers Association conferenceto learn about new research and bee hus-bandry that may help arrest that decline.

Some of the research is being doneby a team led by Dr. Leonard Foster, amolecular biologist at UBC who is tryingto develop bees with a genetic resistanceto some viruses and diseases. He’s alsodeveloping tools to help bee breedersgenetically select for characteristics thathelp reduce infestations of a parasitic mitethat has caused widespread damage in theindustry.

“Beekeepers in Canada and the U.S.have lost 30 per cent of their coloniesevery winter to a variety of causes butmostly to infectious diseases. Ultimatelywhat we want to do is reverse that trend,”Foster said.

“We want to do that by giving beekeep-ers new tools to protect the bees or fightoff the infectious diseases.”

Part of the problem is that in recentyears bee pests have developed resistanceto traditional chemical treatment methods.The solution, Foster said, appears to bein finding new ways to select for beesthat can naturally resist the diseases, or todevelop vaccines.

Foster said three serious pests threatenthe worldwide stability of the honey beepopulation: a tiny blood-sucking mitecalled Varroa Destructor and two viral dis-

eases, nosema and American Foul Brood.There are many other diseases, he said,but these are the ones causing the mostproblem.

Varroa, a South Asian pest, has becomea worldwide problem for beekeepersbecause it can very quickly overpower ahive and kill its hosts. Nosema and AFBare intestinal and brood diseases.

The rise in those diseases may be

linked to another dangerous phenomenoncalled “colony collapse disorder,” inwhich whole hives are abandoned by beeswithout any trace. Some research has sug-gested the disorder may be linked to ris-ing, but sub-lethal, levels of pesticides inthe beeswax in hives.

Foster’s lab is not specifically workingon colony collapse disorder. But it is work-ing with an Israeli company, Beeologics,to develop molecular-level reagents thatcan create something of an immunity forhoneybees from various diseases.

“If we are able to get this to work,bees will be the first organism anywhere,including humans, where this technologyhas been used to treat a disease,” Fostersaid.

“The preliminary results are really,really encouraging,” he added.

Foster is also working with severalgovernment agencies and a dozen B.C.bee breeders to isolate genetic “markers”that can identify bees that have particulargrooming and hygienic traits. Those traitscan help resist the destructive power of theVarroa mite.

By 2013, he’s hoping to have the part-ner bee breeders produce better bees thatwill survive hive infestations. Queens withthose successful traits would then be soldfrom those operations to other beekeepers.

The conference is also hearing fromscientists and breeders on other aspects ofhoneybee health and how to successfullykeep bees.

Richmond’s Andy Walsh has thevoice of God.

So said Neil Gallagher, former radioprogram manager at CFUN, CHQM FMand AM.

“Andy is a great newsman but heprobably has the best voice you’llever hear,” added Gallagher, who wasWalsh’s boss back in the early 90s.

The Canadian News Hall of Famecertainly thinks so.

The longtime Richmondite is beinghonoured, alongside veteran CTV newsanchor Lloyd Robertson, during a galabanquet in March 2012 in Toronto.

Walsh, 79, was dumbfounded tolearn he’d been inducted in the NewsHall of Fame. Founded back in 1965by the Toronto Press Club, it honoursmen and women who have made a sig-nificant contribution to journalism inCanada.

“I was completely surprised, thrilledand humbled,” said the man with thegolden voice. “When I think of all theincredibly talented news people in radioand television across the country, Ithink, ‘Why me?’”

“The man with the voice” hasinterviewed renowned marine explorerJacques Cousteau and has shared thestage with both Pope John Paul 11(1984) and Mother Teresa (1988.).

Walsh said his voice quivered whenhe broke the news to his listeners ofU.S. President John F. Kennedy’s assas-sination on Nov. 22, 1963.

In 2004, the seasoned newscasterwas awarded a Lifetime AchievementAward from the Radio Television NewsDirectors Association of Canada. Hebegan in radio six decades ago.

He was born Andrew Woloshen onJan. 13, 1932 in Montreal. At 17, Walshleft high school to pursue a career at anadvertising company in his hometown.

“For two years, I apprenticed in acompetitive advertising company,” he

said, when he sat down with the Newsearlier this week. “While there, I hadthe opportunity to meet radio and televi-sion personalities, and they used to talkabout the business.”

He became smitten with the idea ofbecoming a broadcaster.

In the fall of 1951, the 19-year-oldheard about an opening in a small50-watt radio station, CKSF, out ofCornwall, Ontario. (Now CJSS.)

“I sent a tape of my voice and withindays I was asked to come for an inter-view,” he said.

A newlywed of one year, he movedhimself and his young bride, BeaWoloshen, to Ontario. His pay was $25a week.

In those days radio broadcasters dideverything — from anchoring the newsto DJing, to selling advertising andreporting.

“I also did a western music show andI called myself Andy Panhandle Walsh,”he laughed with that great strong voiceof his. “It was such a fun time.“Most of us learned on the job.”

It was also there that the news direc-tor told him his name was too difficultfor radio — Woloshen legally becameAndy Walsh. “When I started in the

business, families owned radio stationsand so you built close relationships withyour boss,” Walsh said.

Walsh went from CJIC in Sault SteMarie, Ont. to CFRA in Ottawa beforehe was offered a position at Montreal’snumber one station, CJAD, in 1954.

“I wanted to do strictly news and Iended up staying at CJAD for 15 years,”he said.

During those 15 years, he and hiswife had six children, but his busy six-days-a-week schedule took its toll onhis family life. So once again, Walshstarted leafing through the Want Ads fora radio station, which could offer him afive-day a week job.

After his wife spotted an ad inthe newspaper for a Vancouver newsannouncer, Walsh recorded a five-min-ute newscast and rushed the demo tapeto Morris Foisy, the manager at CHQM.

“I had come to Vancouver a coupleof years earlier to promote Montreal’sExpo 1967 and loved it,” he said.“When that ad appeared two years later,I had to apply. I was offered the jobright away.”

Six months after joining the com-pany, he became news director.

At 79, Walsh doesn’t show any signsof slowing down. He still works atCKWX News 1130 (15 years now), onthe weekends and fills in when anchorsare on holidays. He also does voiceoverwork — you might recognize him inTelus’ recorded message “The numberyou have called is not in service.”

“I’m blessed to be in a job I love,” hesaid. “I enjoy what I do so much I don’twant to retire.”

Radio host’s achievements recognized

Accused killer JeanAnn James admitted to anundercover cop that she wasa suspect in the murder ofher friend, but denied anyinvolvement in the homicide,a jury heard on Monday.

James, 72, of Richmond,has pleaded not guilty tofirst-degree murder in theJune 1992 slaying of GladysWakabayashi, 41, in herVancouver home.

The Crown’s theory is thatJames slit her friend’s throatafter she learned that she washaving an affair with her hus-band Derek.

The jury has been toldthat at the end of a lengthyundercover operationlaunched in 2008, Jamesconfessed to the grisly slay-

ing in the Shaughnessy homeof Wakabayashi, the daughterof a Taiwanese billionaire.

But before the confession,in the middle of the yearlongoperation, James told anundercover police officer thata friend of hers told policethat James was the killer,court heard.

“She denied any involve-ment,” said the undercoveroperator who cannot beidentified because of a pub-lication ban. “She said theonly reason she was a sus-pect at that time was becauseshe was friends with thedeceased.”

The undercover copdescribed an elaborate opera-tion targeting James.

The cop posed as the verywealthy wife of a propertydeveloper. She and Jameswent to a spa, to wine tast-

ings and on shopping trips,the policewoman said.

James said she had hailed

from royalty and deserved anice lifestyle.

The trial continues.

The Biennale temporarypublic art exhibition maybe over, but one “guest” hasasked to stick around a bitlonger.

All of the art installationsin Richmond were due to bemoved on by the end of theyear.

But the new owner of theonly one which the organiz-ers were able to sell — Water#10, the giant chrome drip onthe middle arm of the river atRiver and Cambie Roads, val-ued at $450,000 — has askedif he can leave it there for ayear or two.

Developer David Chung,who bought the piece for anundisclosed price, has told thecity that he won’t be ready torelocate the artwork to his newParc Riveria development onRiver Drive in north Richmond until 2013.

A report due to go before city council’sparks and recreation committee this weekrecommended allowing the piece to stay,provided the developer handle all associatedcosts.

“The new owner of the artwork would beresponsible for maintenance and insurancecoverage for risk of loss, release and indem-nity …,” said the city’s public art planner,Eric Fiss, in his report.

“The developer will be responsible forall costs associated with the removal of thework from this site and subsequent reloca-

tion to the development site…”

Fiss said that Water #10had been well received by thepublic during its 18-monthstay and an extension would“continue to be a benefit tothe artistic and cultural enrich-ment of the city.”

When Water #10 isremoved, there is no fundingin place to replace it, addedFiss, despite the fact that thelocation is designated by thecity as a prime site for signa-ture artwork.

If the parks committee andthereafter city council agreedto allow the piece to remainuntil 2013, Fiss said that aBiennale education programwould then include the art-work, thus allowing Richmondschools to participate.

Despite publicity, good andbad, surrounding the 18-monthlong Biennale, only Water

#10 out of the 15 exhibits in Vancouver andRichmond was sold.

The controversial Lenin/Miss Mao pieceat Alderbridge and Elmbridge ways wasvalued at $700,000 and Wind Waves at GarryPoint had a $400,000 price tag.

Organizers of the Biennale also had tocancel their prestigious wrap-up gala auctiondue to poor ticket sales.

It later issued a statement saying thatVancouver perhaps wasn’t the right placefor the type of artwork on show, insisting amore international market would have beena better fit.

The family of a Richmond-born man whodied last week in a crash in Malaysia is trav-elling to Kuala Lumpur tobring his body home.

Jason Price Krull, 28,was killed last Mondayafter the car he was rid-ing in crashed through thebarrier of an overpass andplunged into a shallowriver below.

The accident happenedat 3: 45 a.m. local time asKrull and two others weretravelling from Jalan SultanIsmail to Jalan MunshiAbdullah in the Malaysiancapital when the car they were riding inswerved to make a turn and lost control,according to local media reports.

Friends say Krull was not driving. Hisbusiness partner, said to be from Victoria,also died in the accident but has yet to benamed.

A third man from Malaysia survived thecrash.

Krull was born in Richmond and regu-larly spent time between his new home inCoquitlam and Kuala Lumpur, where he hadstarted a manufacturing business.

He leaves behind his wife, Michelle, andhis one-year-old son, Tenzyn.

On Saturday, friends held a silent auctionin Richmond to help the victim’s young wife

and son who don’t have insurance, accordingto friends.

A Facebook page titled “In Memory ofJason Price Krull” was put up in his honourand a link to make a donation can be found

at http: // www.facebook.com/#!/groups/ jasonkrull.

Michelle and Krull’smother, Lori, are travellingto Kuala Lumpur to bringhim home.

It is the family’s secondloss in little over a yearafter Jason’s free-spiritedyounger brother, Jordan,died in an accident west ofBangkok in August 2010 at

age 26.Kol Henrikson, a close

friend of Jason, said thefamily is suffering.

“Jason’s family and friends are shockedand devastated with the news, and the lossof their second son in just over a year,”Henrikson said.

“There are no words of how to describewhat his sister Courtenay and mother Lori aregoing through.”

Jordan Krull died last year after appar-ently falling from a moving train in Thailand,according to local media at the time.

Jordan gained Internet notoriety duringthe 2010 Games in Vancouver when he wastackled by police on video after trying tolight a cigarette off of the Olympic Torch.

No funeral date has been set for Jason.

News

The City of Richmond ishosting an open house to dis-cuss ongoing noise issues.

The impact of noise inevolving communities is a“complex issue,” accordingto the city and it wants thepublic to get involved.

At a drop-in style event,the city is asking peopleto join noise experts andcity staff to discuss a noisebylaw review and proposedamendments on Thursday,Oct. 27, from 3 to 7 p.m. atRichmond City Hall, 6911No. 3 Rd.

Richmond’s recentgrowth, along with tech-nological advancements innoise measurement since theimplementation of the city’sPublic Health ProtectionBylaw 6989 in 2000, hasprompted the city to reviewthe bylaw.

As such, the city has con-tracted independent outsidenoise experts to assist withan in-depth assessment of theeffectiveness of the currentnoise regulations. They willprovide input on the gener-ally accepted systems for theidentification and measure-ment of noise and establish

and implement afair and consistentregulatory frame-work for amend-ments to our noisebylaw.

A survey isavailable at theopen house andonline at www.richmond.ca/NoiseRegulation.

Fireworkswarning

Halloween may be aday full of tricks, treats andlaughs, but Richmond Fire-Rescue and RCMP wouldlike to remind the communi-ty that fireworks are no joke.

Fireworks, and especiallyfirecrackers, can be verydangerous, which is whythey are illegal to possess,buy or sell in Richmond.

This year, a zero toler-ance approach will be taken.Under Richmond’s FireworksRegulation Bylaw, offencesand fines include buyingfireworks ($1,000 fine), sell-ing or distributing fireworks($1,000 fine), displayingfireworks for the purpose ofsale ($1,000 fine) or posses-sion of fireworks without a

permit ($250 fine).The authorities

advice is to leavethe fireworks tothe professionalsand get out andenjoy the freeannual pyrotech-nics at Minoru

Park where a live DJ, magi-cian, costumed performersand fire jugglers will setthe stage for a spectacularfireworks display starting at6:30 p.m.

Or drop by one of threecommunity firework displaysat South Arm CommunityCentre at 7:45 p.m., WestRichmond CommunityCentre at 8 p.m. andHamilton (McLean Park) at8:15 p.m.

Pet safetyStill on Halloween, the

SPCA are reminding peopleto take extra care of theirpets on and around Oct. 31.

All those weird loud nois-es as well as the little peopletraffic in and out the housecan be upsetting to your petand can even lead to harm.

“Fireworks going off, aconstantly ringing doorbell

and the presence of cos-tumed strangers can all causeanimals to panic, puttingboth pets and people in dan-ger,” said Lorie Chortyk, BCSPCA general manager ofcommunity relations.

“When dogs and cats arefrightened they are morelikely to run away from theirhomes, jump out of openwindows or dart into traffic.Stressed pets can also behaveout of character — evenscratching or biting people.”

The BC SPCA offersthese Halloween safety tips:! Keep pets inside! Pets who are inside havefewer opportunities to con-front trick-or-treaters. Besure to leave plenty of toys inthe room for your pet so thathe doesn’t think he’s beingpunished.! If your pet finds the door-bell disturbing, consider dis-connecting the doorbell forthe night.! Make sure your pet iswearing identification.! Candy can lead to healthproblems such as diabetesand chocolate is dangerousbecause it contains theobro-mine, which is toxic to dogs.

EDITORIAL OPINION

It’s nearly time for the creepy side of all of us to assertitself.

And you’ve already probably heard some noisy fireworksoff in the distance.

This is a tough time for pets. The sudden noises and weirdactivities that define the Halloween experience for the kids cancause cats and dogs to panic. For the next couple of weeks,you’re likely to notice numerous “lost pet” posters tacked up.

Pets that don’t panic are still prone to act irrationally overtheir encounters with all sorts of strange-looking charactersknocking at the door every few minutes. Dogs that have neverbitten a soul can get snarly, and mild-mannered cats have beenknown to be prompted to attack.

Your pets really don’t enjoy Halloween. The candy isn’tgood for them, and the overall experience is unpleasantlyscary. Just keep them out of it altogether, in a secluded roomor a quiet place, and definitely indoors.

And really, for all the same reasons mentioned above, don’tsend Fido off with the kids on their trick-or-treating rounds.

If you insist on illegally firing off bottle rockets or othernoise-making gunpowder crackers, at least try to minimizethe risks. Don’t point Roman candles or starbursts or otherpropelled-flame pyrotechnics at people (including yourself) oranimals, or at buildings, shrubs, or trees.

And don’t imagine you’ll be less of a bother if you sneakoff to a rural area to indulge in your noisy — and noisome— passion. Especially stay away from farm animals, as theyare prone to injure themselves badly on barbed-wire fencesor other obstacles that they encounter in the panic you willinduce.

Oh, yes, and if you get caught doing something stupid withyour firecrackers, don’t come running to us with your “story.”Just pay your fine.

Dix proves to be worthy opponent

He’s still not as wellknown as his chief oppo-nent, but NDP leader AdrianDix has quietly establishedhimself as a much tougherand capable foe than B.C.Liberals thought they wouldbe squaring off against justa few months ago.

Dix has, so far at least,bust the mold that B.C.Liberals thought wouldbe so easy to confine anddefine him — that of afar-left, angry and negativepolitician.

Instead, Dix has providedmeasured and effective criti-cism of the Christy Clarkgovernment and he’s done itwithout displaying the qual-ities that B.C. Liberals weresure would keep him fromresonating with the voters.

Dix has said and donenothing that would suggesthe is a fire-breathing radicalleftist. Advocating policiessuch as increasing taxes oncorporations may tilt slight-ly left, but hardly ranks assome kind of extreme left-ism.

He has also worked atshedding a couple of thingsthat would eventually workagainst him attracting newsupporters into the NDP.

Constant negativity,which is a trap Oppositionpoliticians can routinely fallinto, is a real turnoff forvoters and Dix has takenpains not to constantly harpabout how terrible every-thing is.

And he has lost someof that chippiness thatoccasionally characterizedsome of his dealings withthe media when his views

were challenged from timeto time.

In short, he is nowbehaving less like anOpposition critic and morelike a party leader.

In so doing, he has keptthe B.C. Liberals off-bal-ance, as he has refused toplay into their hands.

For example, in QuestionPeriod, he rarely raises hisvoice and lets his mosteffective critics — suchas Mike Farnworth, ShaneSimpson and Carole James— be the pitbulls.

He also insists his cau-cus not engage in personalattacks, and even discourag-es heckling during the oftenraucous Question Period.

Dix’s unexpected behav-iour means some of the B.C.Liberals’ attacks on himlook petty or even silly.

For example, the partyjust launched a website thatsuggests Dix was the solemastermind of everythingthat went wrong during theNDP governments of the1990s.

But the website is simplyanother example of how Dixhas provided few relevantavenues of attack for thegoverning party.

Going after him forthings that may or may nothave occurred a dozen years

ago seems somewhat des-perate.

Back then, Dix was anearnest political staffer,albeit one whose influencegrew over time. But hedidn’t run the government.

Voters are looking forhard evidence of what toexpect from their politicalleaders. And that evidencehas to be of a more recentvariety than the 1990s.

Of course, there’s plentyof time before the next elec-tion for Dix to make mis-takes or to indeed becomeexactly the angry leftist thatthe B.C. Liberals are so des-perate to portray him as.

But he’s always struckme as one of the smartestpoliticians I’ve ever covered,who possesses a very soundstrategic mind, so the oddsof him making a disastrousturn seem unlikely.

He’s also scored wellon another front — he’sstrengthened the unity ofthe NDP caucus after thatinternal civil war overCarole James’ leadershipthat threatened to tear theparty apart.

Instead, it is the B.C.Liberals that are havingunity problems and thoseproblems may worsen if theparty continues to lag wellbehind the NDP in the polls.

In the meantime, Dixseems to be following anold political adage thatsays when a government isfalling, the best thing theOpposition can do is to sim-ply get out of the way.

The Editor,Re: “Occupiers need focus,” Letters, Oct. 19

You are not focusing on the big picture, if you think theoccupiers are without focus. They are bringing awareness andclarity to the unsustainable way of doing everything in today’ssociety. Corporate greed is just one issue. Jobs, health care,affordable housing and having enough to eat are just some ofthe basics needed to have hope in the future.

We cannot continue to be self-serving hypocrites who takeadvantage of our fellow man during the week and preachfrom pulpits on our day of rest. It’s unethical and disgracefulbehaviour. And, now we’re just weeks away from the worstseason of all — Christmas and the related holidays. Withunbelievable expectations and self-indulgence, we promotethese virtues to our families and friends. We are in need of anevent to get us back on track.

Apparently, disasters like Japan’s earthquake and the starv-ing children of Africa aren’t enough to sway people fromfighting over parking spaces at the mall, text messaging eachother and screwing the tax man. Somebody needs to get aslap. I support the occupiers and wish them all well. Even ifthey go away soon, the big picture will need to change.

The Editor,In September, when I returned to my

secondary school, I didn’t expect the jobaction to affect our learning or to go veryfar.

But just a few days ago, when we weresupposed to get our interim reports, theywere cancelled, because apparently teach-ers are not allowed to use them.

I find that extremely ridiculous, notto mention that some clubs at school thathelp with our volunteer hours are unableto run because there are no teachers tosupervise them.

Meanwhile, teachers out there arecomplaining about their pay and at thesame time saying, “We care about yourlearning and education.”

Everything that contributes to our edu-

cation is being ignored and they say theycare about us.

Really?Going on strike and jeopardizing the

students is not necessary in order to reachan agreement with the government.

Students need reliable teachers, notteachers who could walk out on the job,being completely inconsiderate of whatshould be the school’s main priority,which are the students.

And do teachers really want to beresponsible for letting the students downby lowering the quality of our education?

Is it really that difficult to negotiate anagreement with the government in a civilmanner?

Patrick ShrRichmond

Put students first

The Editor,I am again shocked

that a family newspaperseems to delight in put-ting all the dreadful newson their front page, suchas, “Baseball bat thugsbeat teens” and “Camerapervert exposed,” News,

Oct. 21.Then (you) select to

place that beautiful storyof “Quake survivor talksto schools,” almost at theback of your paper.

In my view this placesthe Richmond News as aninferior paper!

You must think thatpeople thrive with repul-sive news rather thanstories that inspire us allto become better citizens,making a difference.

Esther McIlveenRichmond

The Editor,It’s municipal election time again and

with it comes the hard-won right for menand women to vote — and for men andwomen to seek office as independents oron some “party” slate.

And with it comes the challenge for vot-ers to decide who to vote for.

This year’s municipal election coincideswith a number of interesting events: res-ignations/withdrawals from incumbentsnot happy with the way things are going,adverts telling potential voters what thoserunning for office believe/stand for andthink they can improve; a move into thepolice building coupled with parking of animpressive fleet of city-owned vehicles andprotestations on an impressive scale thatis telling our governors that all is not wellwith many of our control systems.

Although many may believe that theglobal financial crisis, starvation of thou-sands, upheavals and deaths in many coun-tries have no bearing on municipal elec-tions, these do impact, however remotely,what happens in Richmond.

As one who is seriously interested inchoosing wisely who to vote for, I am

inhibited by many things. It is very dif-ficult to really know the candidates, themedia tends to bias my perceptions, and Idon’t know who has financial backing andits sources.

I would like to believe that there is nocorruption in civic administration, butit seems endemic elsewhere, so why nothere?

My criteria for choosing candidates tovote for are fairly simple: upright charac-ter, a well-trained mind, and an attitude ofbeing a servant of all the people, free ofprejudices and detached from self- interest.

Making such an assessment is very dif-ficult and I am sure others share the samechallenge. Perhaps this difficulty, coupledwith the erosion of trust in institutions,is a major cause of the growing apathyof potential voters. Even doing my bestto know all candidates leaves me feelingfrustrated.

However, I do wish the best to the “win-ners” — may they serve all with passionand integrity.

Disillusioned challenges cityELECTION

The Editor,I’m sure I represent

many voters when I statethat I’m disillusionedwith the state of affairs inRichmond!

The departure of one ofour most respected coun-cillors has just reinforcedmy feelings with his part-ing remarks.

As a result, I have afew questions which Iplace before the council-lors seeking re-election,and also to those who lookto be elected for the firsttime.

I must admit that I havelittle hope that any of thecurrent bunch will deignto answer for their actions

in the last few years.But here goes nothing.First, how much is the

“Big Owe-val” costingus to operate? The totalamount, per year, over andabove any earnings thatthis place is sucking out ofcivic funds.

Second, why is the topbureaucrat in Richmondbeing paid the third high-est salary in the metro dis-trict — $284,097, versusVancouver’s top bureaucratat $313,577?

Third, in the list ofthe 40 highest paid civicbureaucrats, recently pub-lished, TransLink has 12of the top 40 earners, nextis Richmond with nine of

the top 40 salaries, thenVancouver with seven ofthe top 40.

All the rest of the citiesplace only one top earnereach! Why this huge dis-crepancy, and how was itallowed to happen?

Fourth, when is thelast time our councillorshave conducted a line-by-line examination of eachdepartments budget, asopposed to merely approv-ing the total budget on theassurance of one or moreof our bureaucrats?

Fifth, who initiated themillion dollar expenditurefor the Tall Ships floatfiasco?

The one that is of no

use to anyone, that sitsuseless in the mouth ofthe Fraser, and why, whenthe Tall Ships didn’t mate-rialize, did they continueto construct this floatingwhite elephant?

We need a commit-ment to an auditor forRichmond with no restric-tions on the audits orinvestigations. Will you sodeclare?

Perhaps the answerswill convince some votershow to mark their ballots,and a refusal to provideanswers may convinceeven more as to how tovote.

Terry MurphyRichmond

The Editor,There is a recurring

theme in Richmond’s lettersto the editor.

It is criticism of the deci-sions made, and money

spent, by our city govern-ment.

Consider: the awkwardrerouting of River Road — akey traffic artery for westRichmond — around theOlympic Oval site.

The oval itself, too expen-sive for the average taxpayer,still ablaze with lights in theearly hours of the morning.

A dozen giant concretepilings at Garry Point that

interfere with the view andapparently cost $1 million.

An $800,000 trafficscramble at No. 1 Road andMoncton Street, an inter-section that merely neededproper traffic lights.

Our city government, inan attempt to deflect criti-cism of the ever-growing billfor these misadventures, inlast spring’s property taxmail out, tried to fob much

of the blame for our taxincreases onto the provinceand others.

However, the fact remainsthat the four examples aboveare decisions made by ourlocal government, whichapparently cannot discern theessential from the frivolous.

Some guidelines areneeded.

I would like to see ourcity council candidates sup-port the institution of a codeof ethics for Richmond’selected officials and employ-ees.

Such a code wouldremind everyone that thetaxpayer is the city employer,and that decisions mademust be in the best interestsof the taxpayer, always.

I am tired of seeing baddecisions and wonderingwho benefited from thosedecisions.

From the day we movedhere, we’ve heard storiesabout questionable practicesat city hall. It’s time to cleanup our act, and our reputa-tion.

It would not be difficultto draft a code of eth-ics. There is an excellentexample used by the federalgovernment.

Before you scoff, let mesay that thousands of federalcivil servants have very clearguidelines to work by.

Notice I did not say fed-eral politicians.

Are there candidates forthe upcoming election whowould institute a code ofethics? Let’s hear from thembefore voting day.

October 1956 began withan adventure of the wrongkind for my mother and me.Emigrating from Germanyto Canada, we were sailingacross the Atlantic in a shipbuilt in 1919, which wasused in the 1950s to trans-port immigrants and studentsbetween Europe and NorthAmerica.

A few days into the jour-ney, the autumn weatherturned stormy, and it wasn’tlong before the ship sprunga leak right under my bunkbed. I was already too sea-sick to feel scared. Likemany of the other travellers,my mother and I spent mostof our time lying in ourbeds, unable to hold downany food. Shortly beforewe arrived at Quebec City,all seasick passengers wereforced to get up in order tobe able to disembark on theirown two legs.

The next stage of ourjourney to Vancouver wasaccomplished by train. Atleast that form of transportdidn’t rock as much as theship. We sat up for severaldays and nights and ate what-ever my mother managed tobuy when the train stoppedat a station. All I can remem-ber is bread smeared withSandwich Spread.

Our arrival in Vancouver

was intensely joyful. Myfather, who had come toCanada five months ear-lier, met us at the train andwe drove south, over theMarpole Bridge, to our rent-ed bungalow in Burkeville.No five-star hotel could haveappeared more luxurious tomy mother and me than thatlittle house on Sea Island,with a proper bathroom and— finally — real beds tosleep in.

Most of the families liv-ing nearby had children myage, who took me undertheir wing immediately, eventhough I did not speak aword of English. There wascompetition among the chil-dren as to who would get toshow me how to play theirgames, to teach me the wordsconsidered essential for sur-vival to introduce me to theCanadian way of life.

We’d hardly unpacked oursuitcases when I was sentto Sea Island ElementarySchool and enrolled inthe first grade. BecauseHallowe’en was just around

the corner, the first graderswere given a lot of mimeo-graphed pictures of pump-kins and witches to colourwith wax crayons. I had noidea what Hallowe’en was,nor did I have any idea howto use wax crayons. I triedvery hard to pull off the topsuntil someone showed methat wax crayons had no topsto take off.

The afternoon ofHallowe’en — it fell ona Wednesday that year— some of the children in

our neighbourhood asked mymother and father if I couldcome trick-or-treating withthem. My parents had aslittle notion of Hallowe’enas I did.

When my mother trans-lated the description thechildren gave her of theHallowe’en routine, I couldhardly believe it was forreal. After all, just a fewweeks earlier I had beentotally wretched, seasick andunable to eat, rolling in mybunk bed as the ship rose

and plunged through deepwaters, and now I was toldthat I would go from houseto house, say some magicwords, and people wouldhand me goodies.

Everyone in our groupwas going as a ghost, so I,too, was given a sheet withbig holes cut out for eyes,nose and mouth.

The children asked mymother to provide me witha pillow case for carryingthe loot. Were they ever sur-prised when they came to our

house and saw the size of mybag, because German pillowcases are huge squares.

The residents inBurkeville must have chuck-led when the smallest of amotley group of ghosts heldthe biggest bag and echoedher fellow ghosts’ “trick-or-treat” with a decidedlyGerman accent.

If October 1956 startedout with trials and tribula-tions, it ended, to my childishmind, like something straightout of a fairytale.

In many ways,Richmond is the face ofCanadian multiculturalism— and whatever its imper-fections, it’s a face we canbe rightfully proud of.

Richmond has thehighest proportion of for-eign-born residents of anymunicipality in Canada(nearly 60 per cent).

No doubt that huge influx of newimmigrants has presented challenges. Ithas also afforded opportunities.

Immigration has come a long waysince its origins in the mists of humanhistory.

The first immigrants were nomadslooking to expand their range.

They enslaved or killed everyone whogot in their way or ended up having thesame done to them — and they didn’thave to fill out any forms.

The toll taken by all of this enslavingand killing must have been high enoughthat this Palaeolithic version of mutuallyassured destruction eventually gave wayto trade in place of confrontation.

Immigration — now so much morecivilised — is as much part of theCanadian identity as Tim Horton’s anduniversal health care, touching almostevery aspect of our public and privatelives.

Its impact onRichmond in particular, ismonumental.

There are two pointsof view when it comes toimmigration.

Stripped to the basics,the first says that immi-gration is a privilege weextend to those less for-

tunate.Wherever they came from, they’ll

never have it as good as they have it here.As such, we expect at the very least

gratitude and a willingness to becomeCanadian as quickly as possible, whichmeans leaving the home country behindcompletely — its beefs and squabbles, itslanguage and its value system.

Multiculturalism? Bah!‘Those people’ came here because they

want what we have, our values and life-style.

Multiculturalism only compromisesthose things. We do like those ethnic res-taurants, though.

We may find the brashness or stridencyof that point of view kind of un-Canadian,but it can’t be dismissed out of hand.

It speaks to what makes Canada adesirable place — always No. 1 or there-abouts on the UN’s list of liveable coun-tries.

Not just a pretty faceMULTICULTURALISM

CommunityDebate: Accommodation vs. assimilation

The second says that we need ‘thosepeople’ to help us sustain and improveour lifestyle.

We face shortages in a number of criti-cal skilled areas — doctors (particularlythose willing to serve as GPs in ruralareas), nurses at all levels, caregivers tosee to our increasingly ageing population— and all those ‘intellectual property’types, without whom the number onequestion in our economy will become,‘Do you want fries with that?’

And as part of this symbiotic relation-ship with immigrants, we honour theirpresence among us by acknowledgingtheir values and customs.

Multiculturalism? Yessir!Integrating ‘those people’ has made

this country one of the most vibrant, suc-cessful, and progressive countries in theworld.

I think that’s equally hard to arguewith. Canadian culture isn’t a static thing.It evolves by allowing (bit paternalistic,eh?) people to see themselves reflectedin not only our choice of restaurants, butin our bylaws, popular culture and publicdebates, changing bit by bit in the pro-cess.

Take the debate in Richmond aboutmonster houses lowering property values,and destroying neighbourhoods and thesalmon fishery — or whatever else theywere accused of.

When the reflex taking-of-sides sub-

sided, a discussion began about howlarge houses accommodate the multi-gen-erational needs of the occupants, whichthen shifted from aesthetics and propertyvalues to the bedrock cultural values ofraising children in a multi-generationalenvironment.

The debate about whose side shouldyield, assimilation/adaptation versus inte-gration, is a debate about what kind ofCanada we want and the role immigrantsshould play in either conforming to it orshaping it.

In future columns, I’ll continue to lookat the interplay between immigration andthe face of Canadian culture, through thelens of life in Richmond.



Monster houses have been a contentiousissue in Richmond. This monster home isstill under construction on Heather Street andDolphin Avenue.

“We wanted to provide a safe, but funenvironment for children between the agesof five to 12,” said Liesa Billings, spokes-person for The Zone Bowling Centre. “Lastyear, it was just a fun event, but we wantedto get more involved in the community so wedecided to host a food drive … 50 per centof the food at the food bank actually goes tochildren.”

Children and their parents are encour-aged to bring a nonperishable donation to thebowling alley and the donations will be dis-tributed to the Richmond Food Bank.

“An added bonus is that the Big RiverBrew Pub next door will reward the foodbank by matching our weight in donations,”said Billings.

“It’s about teaching kids to help other kidsright here in their own community.”

“Many of our staff will be dressed up, andwe encourage our little bowlers to dress up aswell,” said Billings.

Meanwhile, the London Heritage FarmHouse is hosting a Halloween Tea on Sunday,Oct. 30.

If you are lucky you might get a glimpseof its resident ghost. There is a plethora ofclaims by family members, volunteers and

London Heritage Farm House Society mem-bers alike that the ghost is that of matriarchHenrietta Dalzeil London.

Henrietta married Charles London onAug. 11, 1888 and they went on to have eightchildren.

She was a devout woman, one who wasalso very much the lady of the manor, over-

seeing all aspects of the running of the homeand lands.

At 50, she died of breast cancer on Oct. 8,1916. As sick as she was, says Jane Milina-Dunn, London Farm House weekend supervi-sor, Henrietta prepared the whole family forher death.

It’s also been reported that others haveheard organ music being played, even thoughthere isn’t an organ in the house.

Other members of the society have alsowitnessed a strange presence, a shadowyphantom in the upstairs bedroom window.

“Many have said that when they havelooked up to the bedroom window, they seea shadow of a woman walking by,” Milina-Dunn adds.

“No one feels particularly scared, we allfeel it’s Henrietta taking care of the farm ...she died peacefully so we don’t believe she’strying to harm anyone.”

The London Heritage Farm House hosts aHalloween Tea on Sunday, Oct. 30 from noonto 5 p.m.

Enjoy a full tea with tea or hot chocolate,a scone and other homemade Halloweengoodies for $8.50 per person in its quainttearoom in the London Heritage Farm House,decorated for Halloween.

18 QCan TCM help my asthma?

ATCM is very effective with relieving asthma. From the TCMperspective, asthma is a symptom that developes with

imbalance in any one or more of the following organs: lungs,spleen digestive system,liver, kidneys and large intestines. Thisanalysis would explain why each person's asthma is different.Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are very good at strengtheningthe Lung Deficiency, Spleen Deficiency, Liver Congestion, KidneyDeficiency and Intestinal Stagnation.Asthma is on the rise in frequency and intensity mostlybecause of poor food choices, increased stress, overwork andenvironmental pollution. When these factors are combined withpossible constitutional weaknesses, the body becomes morefeeble since it cannot be nourished properly to maintain its goodfunction. TCM will be much more effective when combined withfood and lifestyle changes.

QOver the last year, I’ve lost close to 50lbsfrom simply walking and jogging a few times

per week. I want to lose another 20lbs but I seemto have hit a plateau, what can I do?

A You’ve done a tremendous job so far and it seems likeyou now require a higher level of intensity to achieve

your new goal. Walking and jogging are great forms of aerobicexercise that help to burn fat. However, adding some strengthtraining and anaerobic exercise (short bursts of high intensityintervals with small rest breaks in between) to your routinecan help build lean muscle and burn fat simultaneously. Thiswill help boost your metabolism and improve your muscletone. Try incorporating strength and interval training intoyour exercise routine 2-3 times per week in addition to yourwalking and jogging to break through your plateau and reachyour new goal.

QWhat does a commercial building owners policycover when it comes to equipment or contents? We

own a building and rent the premises to retail shop, mypolicy states that it covers the equipment and contents, Idon't want to insure the tenants contents or equipment.Where does my coverage stop and the tenants start?

AThis territory is often misunderstood between a landlord and tenant, notwithout good reason. For various reasons a landlord may indicate his

policy covers contents as it appears to state this in his policy. The rule ofthumb is a landlords policy is covers equipment or contents used to maintainor service a premises. Otherwise the tenant is responsible for all other items.An exception is improvements a landlord installs or were part of the buildingprior to the tenants occupancy, these are responsibility of the landlord.Examples of a landlords contents: Fire extinguishing equipment, Floorcoverings, buildings electrical systems, appliances used for heatingor ventilating. This is one of the types of questions that should be discussedwith a commercial broker when buying or renewing a commercial insurancepolicy. We are always happy to answer any questions there are about this orany insurance matter.

QQ.Is it harmful to wear my dentures during sleep?

AWearing your dentures at night can be consequential ina number of ways. Your tissues need to defoliate, just

as any other epidermal (skin) surface requires. Your bodyneeds to slough and renew tissues to remain healthy. Sleepingwith dentures at night might also predispose the wearer toa mild form of non growing thrush. Other issues can resultfrom sleeping patterns. Depending on how you sleep, back orsides, you will clench your teeth and wear them out unevenly.The effect will produce an uneven bite and will prematurelyrequire denture replacement. An uneven bite is difficult ifnot impossible to fix. There are rare occasions wear nightlydenture wear may be advised. If you have any questionsregarding this procedure or any other denture related subject,please book your free consultation with us.

Captain PatrickHunter scored twice, whileJeremy Hamaguchi, JustinRai and Dominic Centishad the others. Rai con-tinues to lead the PacificInternational Junior HockeyLeague in scoring with22 points in nine games,including 10 goals.

On his heels is team-mate Carter Popoff as therookies had a big night inRichmond’s 4-1 home icewin over the GrandviewSteelers last Thursday.

Seafair Minor Hockey grad headed to Moose Jaw this week for Western Challenge CupAn impressive start to

his rookie season in theB.C. Major Midget HockeyLeague has former Seafairstandout Tyler Sandhu suit-ing up for Team B.C. thisweek at the Western CanadaHockey Challenge Cup inMoose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Sandhu, who wasPortland Winterhawks’second round pick in lastspring’s Western HockeyLeague Bantam Draft, issixth in league scoring with13 points in 10 games. Healso ranks second in goalswith eight.

The Team B.C. rosterannouncement comes afteran extensive selection pro-cess that included a weeklong provincial camp overthe summer. A knee injuryprevented Sandhu fromparticipating in last spring’sB.C. Cup, however, he stillreceived a camp invite andwas shortlisted as a TeamB.C. prospect.

“He is a pretty self-moti-vated kid,” said Canadianshead coach Leland Mack.“He is talented and focused.I’ve basically just let himplay and tried to put himwith some guys that I hopewould make him better. Heis a fairly unselfish guytoo.”

Team B.C. has beentraining in Richmond priorto heading to Moose Jaw.

“Team selection and

preparation has gone verywell and the entire stafffeels confident heading into the event,” commentedTeam B.C. director of oper-ations Sean Wicker.

The Western CanadaU16 Challenge Cup willfeature the highest ratedplayers in the under 16age category representingthe four western provinces— Alberta, BC, Manitoba

and Saskatchewan.“Team B.C. is riding a

high from the gold medalshowing at the CanadaWinter Games this pastFebruary. The expectationlevel was set by the 1995group last year and we’relooking for the 1996-bornplayers to prepare andcompete at the same level,”said Team B.C. head coachAdam Hayduk. “We are

very excited and pleasedwith the players that wereselected.

“The strengths of theteam include team speed, anability to generate offence,ability to be responsible inall zones, and a high com-pete level. There were manygreat players that we notselected. The player selec-tions were very difficult;which is a testament to the

calibre of players we havein B.C.”

The first ever WesternCanada U16 Challenge Cupwas held in Blackfalds,Alberta in 2009 and washighly successful due large-ly to the support of the localcommunity and HockeyAlberta. Of the 80 playerswho competed in the eventin 2009, 50 are now playingin the WHL.

Greater Vancouver Canadians Tyler Sandhu jumps on a loose puck in front of the Thompson Blazers net duringrecent B.C. Major Midget Hockey League action.

Canadians enjoy three point weekend to gain ground in crowded standingsThe Greater Vancouver

Canadians are going to need moreperformances like last Sunday tokeep pace in the ever-so-tight B.C.Major Midget Hockey League.

The Canadians skated to theirmost convincing win of the season,a 6-2 triumph over the visitingSouth Island Thunderbirds.

“I think today was the firsttime this season we have managedto play for the whole game,” saidLeland Mack. “I know we are a

good team, I believe we are a goodteam. We just haven’t seen it yet.Today was better.”

The Thunderbirds (1-6-3)arrived on the Mainland hav-ing won just one of eight startsbut managed to earn a 2-2 tiein the series opener. The three-point weekend does lift GreaterVancouver (5-3-2) into a tie forsecond place, three points back ofthe front-running Cariboo Cougars.However, the locals are also just

two points away from sitting insixth place, with the league lookingdeeper than it ever has.

“It’s so tight right now that it’sgoing to seem like you are alwaysin it and every weekend thoseseries are going to be big,” contin-ued Mack. I like the character thisteam has. We are 12 forwards deep,with six good defencemen and twogood goaltenders. We want to bethat team every day like we weretoday.”

The Canadians may soon bewithout one of their key bluelin-ers.”

Sophomore Arvin Atwal’sWestern Hockey League playingrights were traded last week fromthe Prince Albert Raiders to theVancouver Giants.

The North Delta native hasalready played two games forVancouver since the trade, includ-ing Sunday’s win over the KelownaRockets.

Mack has seen extra jump inAtwal’s game since the deal.

“Arvin sometimes can be reallymotivated and sometimes not,”said Mack. “He was in somewhatof a lull but once he got traded hewas back to the Arwin we knowand want. “If we lose him (to theWHL) then that’s what we want.If he stays we want him to be theplayer he is now. He knows thereare Giants all around here (at theLadner Leisure Centre).”
