Gunfire erupts at union birthday partyFour men shot by lone gunman in targeted attack, police say

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Four men were shot Wednesday night when a lone gun-man opened fire at a function held by members of the In-ternational Longshore & Warehouse Union at the Riverside Banquet Hall.

Union president Mark Gordienko said the private function was jointly organized by union members and non-members, partly as a birthday party, and partly to celebrate 10 newly-annointed members of the union from a Vancouver union meeting that ended around the same time as the shooting.

Neither Gordienko nor any of his union executive were at the function, as they were still wrapping up their meeting.

He said one of the victims wasn’t a union member, but three others were casual workers who worked out the union’s dispatch hall.

Protestors blockade farm with tractors, then drive them to city hallby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Farmers and neighbours upset over asphalt dumping on a Finn Road farm property took their frustration to city hall Thursday—with their tractors.

Protesters drove two tractors—one towing a trailer carrying broken pave-ment and rebar—up No. 3 Road and

parked on city hall grounds following a day-long blockade of the farm.

“Will this grow food? Absolutely not,” said protest leader Ray Galawan, holding up a piece of asphalt. “The oil out of here will be leach into the soil and that’s the end of our Class 1 farmland.”

The group is urging lawmakers to help stop the dumping of asphalt and other demolition materials on the farm, at 9360 Finn Rd., and remove what’s al-ready been trucked in.

Trucks began dumping material on the former pumpkin farm late December. The farm’s new leaseholders are using it to build an access road for a new farm

operation—potentially a tree nursery.Neighbours have been watching loads

come in, and Galawan, a retired farmer, said he had to do something after watching a load of “highly toxic” asphalt dumped on fertile soil. So on Wednesday he and farmer Bob Featherstone blocked the property’s driveway with tractors while neighbours hoisted signs that read “Food not fill” and “Save our soil.”

“Enough’s enough,” said Galawan. “No-body else is stopping it. I’ve tried every avenue I can think of. We’re getting no help, no answers, so I thought we have to do this to stop it ourselves.”

To say that Ryan Loriault is a shadow

of his former self wouldn’t be entire-ly accurate.

Once tipping the scales at more than 386 pounds, he’s now a svelte 175 pounds, technically not quite weightless.

He pulled off the majority of his stunning transformation at the Richmond Olympic Oval, where for more than a year, he has been pump-ing iron and sweating his way towards better health.

“I have been told so many kind things, everything from you’re an inspiration to you’re my hero,” Loriault told The Richmond Review. “Things like that moti-vate me and make me work that much harder.”

Today, Loriault no lon-ger resembles the man of two years ago, or for that matter, the man of eight months ago, when he started working at the oval’s coffee shop and weighed more than 240 pounds.

So what was the catalyst that triggered his stunning transformation?

A brush with death? A family intervention?

No, the all-smiles and affable Loriault said humbly. It was a walk.

At the urging of his mother-in-law, the

then obese Loriault was battling migraine headaches while liv-ing in Edmonton. She suggested he go for a walk. Meanwhile, one healthcare professional prescribed electroshock therapy.

Loriault opted for the former, and after a five minute stroll, he found himself in tremendous pain. His back ached and he was exhausted.

But there was an oh-so-subtle improvement to his headaches.

And so a five-minute walk became 10, then 20, and soon he could walk far enough to reach the neighbourhood swimming pool.

Then, after moving to Richmond, he joined the Richmond Olympic Oval about a year ago, weighing more than 300 pounds.

So staff and coworkers there have witnessed his metamorphosis, an uplifting story featured

on the oval’s official website.

“My original goal for myself was 200 pounds and if I reached that I would go to California to learn to surf...I did

and it was awesome. I did things I never ever thought possible and I still do.”

Loriault said part of his secret has been eating more often.

Instead of three meals a day, he eats six times, but every meal is calorie-limited. The frequency of eating helps him control his appetite.

The 30-year-old is also religious about going to the gym.

“I currently am work-ing on staying in shape and building muscle so I go to the gym about two hours a day and work in the coffee shop,” he said.

Loriault chronicled his journey by assembling pictures for a YouTube video (tinyurl.com/RyanWeightLoss) which week by week, and month by month, shows how his body shrank and his confidence grew.

“As I lost more and more weight, I learned

more and more and kept changing my workouts. I would spend four hours at the gym a day and when I started to work at the coffee shop, I was spending eight hours a day there...I pretty much lived and still do live at the oval.”

Now, he’s hoping to inspire others with the message that change begins with just a single step.

“Obesity is a big prob-lem in Canada and the U.S. and I feel people need to see more people who were able to fight back and show them that if that is their goal, they can reach it. Even if they have health issues, even if they are in con-stant pain, even if they are poor.”

No pricey personal trainers, no gimmicks, no expensive diets. Just a whole lot of sweat.

Council Update

By Chak Au

On Monday, January 14, Council adopted a 10-year Social Development Strategy for Richmond. It represents an important step taken by the City to address the changing needs for social development in our community, as the Strategy is intended to guide the City’s decisions and resource allocations on social development from 2012-2022. It also fulfils one of Council’s term goals for 2011-2014.

The preparation of the Strategy started in 2009 and extensive consultations with Richmond residents, community partners and other key stakeholders were conducted. Through this process, five issue areas are considered to be of prime concern for the future. They are: Cultural Diversity, Aging of the Population, Adequate Social Capital and Infrastructure, Supporting Children, Youth and Families, and Affordable Housing and Affordable Living.

Some of these issues, such as aging of the population, are not unique to Richmond, nonetheless we are challenged by having one of the highest concentrations of visible minorities and non-English speaking immigrants. It is for this reason that citizen engagement, social equity, and inclusion are crucial for successful social development.

Another factor that makes the development of the Strategy

necessary is the continued downloading of responsibilities from senior governments. Since the early 1990s, the Federal Government has continuously withdrawn from its national leadership role in addressing social issues. The cutback of funding for social housing is a good example. Likewise, the provincial government has also eliminated many social programs and funding for community agencies. Under such circumstances, it becomes necessary for the City to clarify its roles and identity its limits in addressing particular social development issues.

It is obvious that the City cannot address all social development needs in Richmond by itself. In 2012, 50 per cent of property taxes were allocated for direct City purposes, with the remainder allocated to other institutions including Translink, Metro Vancouver, and the provincial government for school taxes. Therefore, collaboration, partnership and coordination with senior governments, government agencies, non-profit organizations, community groups, businesses, and private corporations are central to the Social Development Strategy of the City.

While the draft Strategy has been adopted by Council, there is still another round of public consultation this spring and summer. The public is invited to provide comments and feedback on the Strategy. Watch for details in local newspapers or look on line at www.richmond.ca

From Page 4Some neighbours

have also complained about concrete “the size of bathtubs” being dumped on the site.

Harold Steves met with the dozen protestors to

express their support, and committed to work-ing with the Agricultural Land Commission to find a resolution to the issue and future fill projects.

City of Richmond spokesperson Ted

Townsend met with protestors and said city council’s motion Mon-day appears to have been a success.

“Council’s already passed a motion re-questing the (land com-

mission) to suspend the fill operation and we believe that’s happened. The next step is we’ll con-tinue to have discussions with the (commission) as to how we can better manage these fill applica-tions going forward.”

Council has requested the fill operation be put on hold until the city and its agricultural ad-visory committee have a chance to review the file.

Thomas Loo, a compli-ance and enforcement officer with the Agricul-tural Land Commission, visited the farm this week and said he didn’t see anything that would be in contravention of the Agricultural Land Commission Act. He said the act doesn’t prohibit the use of recycled con-crete or asphalt for farm road construction.

“We’ve seen it used in the cranberry industry as part of their berm/road system,” he said. “The is-

sue seems to be related to the size of it, which we’ll be working with the landowner and agent to have it processed on site to more reasonable sizes for road construction.”

Large concrete pieces will serve as the road’s lower base, and allow for easier removal if the land use is changed, Loo said. Proponents have been asked to remove rebar from the land, and have suggested a sort-ing area be created to remove any inappropri-ate materials trucked in, he added.

One of the farm’s lease-holders is Bill Jones, the longtime operator of

a former nursery on Westminster Highway. He called the protest against his project “pret-ty vicious.”

“What this is all about is some rather vicious people trying to make a point, because it’s frank-ly a case of sour grapes,” said Jones, declining to elaborate.

Jones said he has ap-proval from the Agricul-tural Land Commission for the road project.

“What we’re doing is totally legal according to the Agricultural Land Commission who moni-tors the site routinely,” he said. “Any farmer, any farmer, such as cranberry

farmers, for instance, are entitled to build access roads without permis-sion from anyone. The materials we use can be any number of things.”

Harold Steves said since the provincial govern-ment has “gutted” the Agricultural Land Com-mission, more and more “unchecked” dumping is happening on Richmond farms.

Steves suggested on farms with Class 1 soil, which he said is found south of Steveston Highway, new road beds shouldn’t be permitted unless they can easily be removed.

“The whole fill issue in Richmond is out of control,” he said. “We can’t change provincial law, but certainly I think there should be a major decision on road beds, that there should be no fill like blacktop and concrete, that cannot be easily removed.”

From Page 1Gordienko was in-

formed about the shoot-ing Wednesday night, and said he reacted with a “sick feeling in my stomach.”

He added: “I am shocked and saddened by this incident that has

affected some of our members. On behalf of the union, I want to ex-press our best wishes to the families involved, and to everyone who witnessed this terrible event.”

RCMP Sgt. Peter Thies-sen said all four victims

were listed in stable con-dition on Thursday and noted that the suspect, who remains in custody, was arrested within five minutes of the incident.

Richmond RCMP Insp. Bryon Massie said at the scene Wednesday night that police were called

to a report of shots fired around 9 p.m. at the hall, at 14500 River Rd., about a half kilometre east of No. 6 Road, at River Road.

Investigators believe the shooting was tar-geted, and on Thursday, confirmed they have one suspect in custody.

It was chaos inside the hall when the shots rang out, with four people hurt, at least one with what was initially de-scribed as life-threaten-ing injuries.

The men suffered gun-shot wounds and were taken to area hospitals, where protocols were enacted to ensure they are safe, as well as oth-ers in the hospital.

It’s believed about 150 people attended the event.

A transit bus was used to shuttle the large num-ber of witnesses to the Richmond detachment to be interviewed.

“There is no informa-tion to suggest...this is related to events that have occurred in the Lower Mainland over the last week,” Massie said, in reference to four other fatal shootings that po-lice have said involved criminal activity.

This isn’t the first time the banquet hall has been the scene of vio-lence.

Gangster Kelly Buttar was shot and killed at the banquet hall during a wedding reception more than a decade ago.

Suspect was quickly arrested

Council wants farm fill operation to be put on hold“What we’re doing is totally le-gal according to the Agricultural Land Commission who monitors the site routinely.”

With June, the gradu-ation month justaround the corner,our thoughts turn tonew drivers, especial-ly new teenage driv-ers. Last week wedescribed BritishColumbia’s original

Graduated LicensingProgram [GLP]. Thegoal of the originalprogram, introducedin August 1998, was to tackle the awfulstatistics: 35% of all deaths in the 13 to21 year s age group caused by car acci-dents; and 20% of all new drivers involved in crashes within their first two years ofdriving.

Initially the results were positive. Duringthe first two years, the new driver crashrate went down 26%. But most of theimprovement was by Learners rather thanNovices who remained 45% more likelythan experienced drivers to be involved incrashes.

The carnage continued. On March 21st,2002, four Delta teens were killed whenthe teen driver failed to stop at a stop signat the intersection of 57B Street andDeltaport Way and was broadsided by asemi-trailer. The teen driver, licensed foronly two weeks, was the only survivor.On May 31st, 2003, a 19-year-old driverand his three friends, after watching ahockey game and drinking, attempted todrive home together. The driver wove inand out of traffic at high speed and col-lided with a truck on the other side of ablind hill on Cedar Hill Road in Victoria.In this case, the three friends and thetruck driver survived while the teen driv-er was killed. On July 18th, 2003, fourfriends were involved in a single-carhigh-speed crash on the Old IslandHighway. Their car crashed into a con-

crete utility pole justbefore 4 a.m. All fourwere thrown from thecar. Two of the fourdied from their injuries.

Prompted by thesetragic events andresults in other GLPjurisdictions, the BCgovernment madechanges to the programthat came into effect onOctober 7, 2003. These

changes are more than fine-tuning. Theyextend the basic two-year term of theGLP to three years: a 12-month Learnerterm (reducible by 3 months for certifieddriving training) plus a 24 consecutive,prohibition-free month Novice term. ALearner must be accompanied by asupervisor 25 years of age or older with avalid Class I-5 driver’s license and mayhave only one passenger in addition tothe supervisor. A Novice is limited toone passenger only, excluding immediatefamily members, unless he or she isaccompanied by a supervising driver 25years or older. Immediate family mem-bers are defined as father, mother, broth-er, sister, spouse, children, and grandpar-ent including the same step or foster rela-tions. Novices who receive a driving pro-hibition must go back to the beginning ofthe novice stage, that is, they lose allaccumulated driving experience time andmust start again at Month 1. For a com-plete outline of all the Learner andNovice rules, visit the ICBC websitewww.icbc.com.

The immediate reaction to these changeswas predictably mixed. With fingers-crossed, we look forward to positiveresults from these changes to the pro-gram.

The 2009 Giller Prize winning The Bishop’s Man by Linden MacInytre is a detailed study of the trials and

tribulations of being, as one reviewer put it, an enforcer. In this fictional tale, the enforcer is an ecclesiastic whose character, intelligence and unique experiences at the outset of his vocational life render him suitable for carrying out the delicate task of dealing with pervasive wickedness within his organization, while bolstering the public reputation of the institution as an agency of goodness.

While there are many occupations more obviously aligned with an ‘enforcer’ role, the police and crown prosecutors for example, the complexity of the ‘enforcer’ portrait in this novel came to mind in reading about the role that Canada’s cardiovascular medical doctors say they are being asked to play—and their distaste for it—with respect to patients whose medical condition may render them unfit to drive.

When the facts are clearly established and the risks quantifiable, at least the purposeful-ness of an enforcer’s task is unquestionable. The suitability of the ‘solution’ is the main difficulty. And so say the doctors who are required by law in seven Canadian prov-inces to report to the motor vehicle licensing authority patients whose physical condition may render them unfit to drive.

The most common reportable physical ailments include cardiovascular disease with the potential for heart attack or stroke,

heart arrhythmias with the potential for loss of consciousness or stroke, and neurological disorders with the potential for seizures or fainting. In Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia a doctor’s duty to report is discretionary.

This issue was a matter of debate at the Canadian Cardiovascular Society annual meeting in late October of this year. Physi-cians who oppose these stringent reporting requirements argue that the consequences of their compliance can be unfair to their patients and harmful to the doctor-patient relationship. Patients become reluctant to disclose their symptoms, distrustful and angry.

Some go so far as to question whether this ‘solution’ is an answer to the problem. Dr. Chris Simpson, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Cardiology at Queen’s University in Ontario and Medical Director of the Cardiac Program at Kingston General Hospital (Ontario) was quoted as saying, “We all have this sinking feeling that we’re reporting all these patients and causing them all this dis-tress and hardship, and there’s no proof it is doing any good. … Most of the people we’re removing from the road, never would have had a problem. … It’s really very difficult for us to try to predict who is destined to have a medical illness behind the wheel.”

Dr. Simpson, who lists medical fitness to drive as one of his key areas of research interest, said he reports as many as 150 patients per year to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. The real risk may come not from patients under treatment but from others. One report indicated that, “95% of drivers who lose control of a vehicle because of a heart condition did not even know they had a problem.”

CLEAR-OUTOF THE WEEK:

Chinese herbal medicine community frustrated by costly thefts


A rash of costly after-hour break-ins at Chinese herbal medicine stores has left business owners frustrated and demanding action from police and city officials.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Coun. Chak Au, Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski, and some 30 to 40 Chinese medicine busi-ness owners met over dinner last week to dis-cuss the concerns about the targeted thefts of bird nests, dried abalo-ne, Korean ginseng and sea cucumber, among other things.

Each break-in has cost the businesses between $30,000 and $130,000, and investigators said it’s apparent that the thieves know what they are look-ing for, and are targeting high-value items, wasting no time in breaking into the store and then exiting in a matter of minutes.

“The price of some products are more expensive than gold per ounce,” Kowalski noted. “Clearly, it’s people with knowledge of these herbs and various dried products.”

Nine break-ins and thefts occurred between July 1 and Nov. 14 of last year, Kowalski told The Richmond Review. The majority were break-ins, though others involved

thefts in which the store owners were intention-ally distracted by the per-petrators while the thefts took place.

A collaborative working group has been formed, including the Richmond Chinese business com-munity, local Mounties and the city.

Proactive and reac-tive measures are being enacted to deal with the thefts, which Kowalski suspects isn’t unique to Richmond. Investigators will be reaching out to surrounding communi-ties to find out if similar thefts have been hap-pening elsewhere.

Among the tactics intended to deter thefts and break-ins are store hardening measures, which includes strate-gies dealing with the placement and visibility of pricey herbs and the presence of surveillance cameras and what imag-es they capture.

Mounties have insti-tuted directed patrols around the types of busi-nesses that have been

targeted, including foot patrols, and police have helped heighten aware-ness and developed a “comprehensive work-ing relationship with them over the past two months,” Kowalski said.

While there are Chinese herbal stores in malls such as Lansdowne Centre, the bandits have been focusing on those situated in strip malls.

Police do have video surveillance footage, which is still being ana-lyzed to see if police can identify the perpetra-tors. Multiple people are involved, and in several instances, the bandits have covered their faces.

“We are certainly taking it seriously,” Kowalski said.

Although investigators are only aware of local thefts, Kowalski said these incident have a greater impact, as the stolen merchandise is being sold to businesses elsewhere in the Lower Mainland.

“It’s quite a progressive approach we’re taking.”

Au said since the meet-

ings with police, the con-cerned merchants feel much better about the improved dialogue.

Since the middle of November, Au said at least another four or five merchants have been targeted.

What brought this issue to a head was an incident in November, when, according to Au, a merchant called police about an 8 a.m. break-in, but police didn’t arrive for 20 minutes. Afterward, a police spokesperson told the merchants the response time was rea-sonable.

While the Chinese-language media have been covering this story with big headlines for months, that hasn’t been the case elsewhere.

Au said that’s a sign that this community is still divided, where one sec-tor doesn’t know what’s going on in the other.

That’s a very real and disconcerting discon-nect that’s certainly “less than ideal,” Au said.

Rash of herbal store thefts gets attention of cops, mayor

Charlyn W via Flickr.com photoChinese herbal medicine stores carry pricey products like bird nests and dried aba-lone that have recently been the target of commercial break-in bandits in Richmond.

The local pharmacy is the best place to dispose of old medications that are expired or unused.

The B.C. Pharmacy Association is urging households to clean out medicine cabinets of products that could pose a risk through improper use.

B.C.’s Medications Return program (www.medicationsreturn.ca) helps coordinate the safe, free disposal of

unwanted pharmaceuticals at phar-macies.

It’s seen the volume of returned drugs double over the past four years to 36,000 kilograms last year.

“Please don’t flush your medi-cations down the toilet or throw them in the trash,” added Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metro Vancouver’s zero waste com-mittee.

Safe disposal of drugs urged

GUEST SPEAKERS

Join us for the City of Richmond’s annual series of talks about art in the city and its importance to creating connections between citizens and their communities.

Wednesday, January 23 7:00 p.m.

Sans façon: Charles Blanc, Tristan SurteesWHAT’S ART GOT TO DO WITH IT?

With the participation of artists, can urban infrastructure designs be re-imagined to renew relationships between citizens and their environment? For example, what happens when you replace a street lamp with a theatre spotlight? The artist and architect duo, Sans façon (currently working on a city-wide program for the City of Calgary) explore these kinds of relationships between people and places through their site-specific projects. This talk will be preceded by a short performance by Aboriginal cellist Cris Derksen.

Limited seating.

Students helping studentsSpul’u’kwuks elemen-tary Grade 4 student Taylor Markel (front) rallied her fellow stu-dents and school teach-ers and sta� —teacher Renata Hyrman, Nailah Crowe, Zara Shoker and Sophia Anderson—to participate in a bake sale fundraiser for the students of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, the scene of a tragic shooting that claimed the lives of 20 students and six teachers late last year. Touched by the senseless trag-edy, Markel sought to raise funds to send to the students to be used to bring some much-needed laughter and joy back into the school, perhaps for a magician entertainer. Said Hyrman: “Such is our community that it teaches our children to enjoy their childhoods and share their good fortune with those that have lost theirs.”Martin van den Hemel photo

RICHMOND SCHOOL DISTRICT #38

2013-14 SCHOOL TRANSFERS & REGISTRATIONS

When and where should I register my child?

If you are new to the district, you must register first. All new Kindergarten registrations for the 2013-14 school

year will take place at the English catchment schools from January 14th, 2013 to February 4th, 2013. After February

4th, 2013, all new Kindergarten registrations for the 2013-2014 school year will be taken at the Central Registration

Office. All grade 1-12 students should register at the Central Registration Office. Parents/legal guardians must

personally register their children at their catchment school by presenting the following legal documentation: proof of

Richmond residency (one of the following legal documents: current property tax notice, formal rental or lease

agreement, signed contract of purchase of sale with possession date and subjects removed, Confirmation of

Residency Form); proof of status in Canada (the student’s original birth certificate, Canadian citizenship or

Landed/Permanent Resident card for the parent/legal guardian and child) and the student’s immunization records.

If registered by June 14th, the student will be guaranteed a space in their English catchment school for the 2013-14

school year. If registered after that date, the student will be placed at a nearby school by the school district if space

and resources are not available in the students’ catchment school. The deadline for new Early French Immersion,

Late French Immersion and Montessori applications is February 4th, 2013. Access to these programs will be through

a district-wide draw process, with sibling priority.

What should I do if I want my child to transfer to a non-catchment school?

The parent/legal guardian of a student who is not attending a Richmond SD 38 school and wishes to transfer to a

non-catchment school must first register and after doing so, may obtain a Transfer Application Form [RSB SA 23]

and submit it to the requested school. Commencing Monday, January 21st, 2013 at 8:00 a.m., transfer

applications for students wishing to attend a non-catchment school will be received at the requested school.

Students currently attending a Richmond public school, do not need to re-register. The parent/legal guardian of a

student who wishes to transfer to a non-catchment school should obtain a Transfer Application Form for Richmond

Residents [RSB SA 23] from their catchment school, have it initialed by the catchment school and then submit it to

the requested school no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, March 1st, 2013. If the application is received at the

requested school by March 1st, 2013, and space is available, students will be approved to attend in accordance with

the priorities listed in Regulation 501.8-R, paragraph 5.a. [1st: catchment 2nd: Richmond resident transfer students

and 3rd: Non Richmond resident transfer students], on a “first come, first served” basis.

Richmond resident transfer students have priority over non-Richmond resident transfer students for transfer requests

submitted by March 1st, 2013. Schools will mail letters to the parents/legal guardians of transfer applicants on

March 14th, 2013, advising them of the status of their child’s application. If the transfer application is received after

March 1st, 2013, then the request may be considered in accordance with the criteria set forth in district Regulation

501.8-R, paragraph 5.f. (4) [See Group 3 Student Priority Chart] NOTE: Parents/legal guardians should be aware

that schools designated as “full” by the school district will not be able to approve first time transfer applicants due to

a lack of available space and resources.

What if my child already attends a non-catchment school?

Richmond Residents: Richmond resident students who are currently attending a non-catchment school, and wish

to continue at that school for the 2013-14 school year, are not required to submit a transfer request. Such students

will automatically be enrolled at the school unless they withdraw or transfer out of the school. Please let the school

know if you are leaving.

Out of District Residents: All students who reside outside of Richmond and are currently attending a Richmond

school, and wish to continue at their school, must submit a Transfer Application Form for Non-Richmond Residents

[Form RSB SA 73], which is available from the attending school, by March 1st, 2013.

Teresa Wat has been appointed the B.C. Lib-eral candidate in Rich-mond Centre.

Wat is president and CEO of Mainstream Broadcasting Corpora-tion (CHMB AM1320).

“I believe the upcom-ing election is too im-portant to stand on the sidelines,” Wat said in a press release. “I want to be a part of the team that secures a strong economic future for British Columbians that will last for decades.”

Wat was former news director at Channel M Television, now OMNI. In 2010 she was ap-pointed to the Canadi-an Women Voters Con-gress Advisory Board.

“I am very excited to have Teresa join our team,” said Premier Christy Clark. “She will be a champion for Rich-mond Centre and B.C.’s growing multicultural communities.”

Richmond school trustee Grace Tsang was the only declared can-didate to date, but the party says she has de-cided not to pursue the nomination. Tsang has accepted an appoint-

ment to serve instead in the capacity as co-chair of the Premier’s Chinese Advisory Committee.

Gary Law, who told The Richmond Review he was seeking a nomination with an unspecified party in Richmond Centre, said he would be making an announcement today.

Richmond Centre is one of the Liberals’ saf-est seats in the prov-ince and has been won by the party with com-fortable margins since the riding’s creation in

1991.Current MLA Rob

Howard is not running in the next election.

Michael Wolfe is run-ning for the Green Party in Richmond Centre.

The NDP has yet to name its candidate, though NDP leader Adrian Dix told The Rich-mond Review the people lining up to run in Rich-mond are “outstanding.”

“I’m looking forward to the campaign, I think this is going to be the most impressive cam-

paign we’ve ever run in Richmond.”

Mounties say it was a miracle no-body was injured last Friday during a lunch-time multi-car crash along a busy route to an elementary school in Steveston.

Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Tur-ley said that around noon on Friday, Jan. 11, Richmond Mounties received a report of two collisions, one at No. 2 Road and Andrews, and a second at Andrews Road and Trites, both caused by the same vehicle.

It turns out, according to police, that the 83-year-old man behind the wheel of teh vehicle suffered a diabetic coma and had to be taken to hospital.

According to investigators, the man’s

vehicle was heading south on No. 2 Road from Moncton when it hit the curb with its tires. The vehicle crossed the centre line and side-swiped a northbound vehicle, before continu-ing south on No. 2 Road, and turning west onto Andrews Road.

Witnesses said the car was driving in the wrong lane at high speeds when it went through the stop sign at Trites road, and smashed into a wooden fence.

“Luckily no one was injured in all of this,” Turley said.

The driver was rushed to Richmond General Hospital.

Police did not issue a violation tick-et, but Turley said there’s a possibil-ity there will be a review of the man’s driver’s licence.

A study of six northern Alberta lakes

conducted by Envi-ronment Canada and other scientists was published last week, generating headlines around the world.

“Oil sands toxins ‘accumu-late in freshwater systems,’” the BBC announced. The headline in The New York Times declared: “Oil sands industry in Canada tied to higher carcinogen level.”

The study was reported

with similar alarm across Canada. It looked at levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in lakebed sediment, and found levels measurably higher than natural sources since oil sands extraction began 50 years ago.

Most news reports I saw made little or no effort to put this information into context, in terms of the actual risk to humans, fish and other organisms. Some quoted people they knew would scream bloody murder, because as we in the media are taught, conflict and fear attract an audience.

As expected, U.S. environ-mental groups and their Canadian branch offices ramped up the rhetoric to battle their favourite villain.

At least one major Cana-dian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, did a responsible job. Its report on the study stated “PAH pollution level remains low – on par, at worst, with an urban lake –

but is rising.”In fact, five of six lakes

tested were far below average contamination of urban lakes. PAH fallout is a daily constant of urban life, from vehicles, industry, and particularly where coal is burned for electricity.

To be clear, there are dozens of different forms of PAH. Some have been shown to increase cancer risk, and some have been linked to (but not proven to cause) infertility, im-mune disorders and fish mutations.

So when you drive your kids to school, stand at the bus stop, or drink a glass of water from Coquitlam Lake or any urban reser-voir, you are exposed to PAH pollution from human and natural sources. The risk from this is an ongoing focus of research, but this study confirms one thing: your exposure is likely greater in any urban area than it is downwind of the Alberta oil sands.

I argued this point with

B.C.’s celebrity environmen-talist Tzeporah Berman, who has shuttled back and forth from ForestEthics to Greenpeace in recent years. She took to her Facebook page to pub-licize a dramatic call to action from 350.org, one of the most strident climate change advocacy groups in the U.S., selectively using a quote and picture from The New York Times.

Our debate turned to greenhouse gas emis-sions. I argued that this PAH study mirrors the true picture of carbon dioxide emissions, which is that nearly 70 per cent of CO2 from all petroleum comes when you burn the final product in engines and furnaces. In B.C., which doesn’t burn coal for electricity, fully 40 per cent of human-caused green-house gas emissions are from transportation. Other sources include home heating and industry.

Berman insisted I was wrong, and claimed 70 per

cent of Canada’s green-house gases come from “heavy industry.” I asked for her source. No response.

A 2010 report by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel calculated that 27 per cent of our country’s fossil fuel emissions come from transportation. An-other 16 per cent is from fuels burned for electricity. Five per cent is from oil sands operations. Berman’s figure is conveniently untrue.

Greenpeace and the rest of the environmental scare industry want you to believe that stopping Alberta’s oil sands and pipelines would save the planet. Also wrong. It would drive oil demand from the U.S., Venezuela’s oil sands and elsewhere, with little net effect on the climate or pollution.

Inconvenient truth of oil pollution

opinion

Most property own-ers will have re-ceived their proper-

ty assessments in the mail.For many, this important piece of

information is quickly glanced at and discarded into the junk mail pile – it is accepted simply for what it is.

But with that number comes a wealth of information on how a property is valued, far more

than just how much you will be expected to pay in July when taxes are due.

The arrival of assessments is only a small piece of a much larger pic-ture that triggers a complex sys-tem of property tax calculations, and how the money collected by the city is used to pay for roads, sewers, recreation facilities, social programs and other services. Part of the property tax each property

owner pays also funds the local school district, hospital, library and other services.

As assessments arrive, local politicians are already working to determine how the city will spend the money received from property tax.

How much your largest asset is worth and how the tax money it generates is used to keep public services working are two subjects

worth knowing a little bit about.After all, would you invest $3,000

or so annually in a stock without doing some research? Hopefully not.

However, if you’d prefer to swal-low the blue pill instead of the red pill, there are still many interest-ing features available on the B.C. Assessment website at www.bcas-sessment.ca.

Making Richmond a better placeEditor:

Re: “Community gives Emily a new start.”

Kudos on the heartwarming Dec. 28 front page story. This is what a com-munity newspaper is supposed to be about: Engendering posi-tive feelings from and about the community.

Please do more like this—take a lead in making Richmond an even happier commu-nity through keeping us informed of such good news items oc-curring locally. Inside the paper, try to pub-lish more than just the most negative news reports from beyond our island!

Thank you, too, Brian Williams, for allowing your kindness to be published, as a beacon of encouragement for others to look deeply inwards to see what we can do to make our community and world a better place.

Editor:Eighty years is a long time. If

something’s been around that long, it’s had a good run. Some would say a great run. Most things don’t last 80 years. In that respect, the Richmond Christmas Fund is special.

In 2012, Volunteer Richmond Information Services celebrated its 40th anniversary. It was a significant milestone for our or-ganization, one that we couldn’t have achieved without a lot of help along the way.

So when you consider that this past year the Christmas Fund turned 80—it was established in 1932 by Ethel Tibbits, then editor of The Richmond Review—well, you can imagine how many in-dividuals and organizations and businesses have contributed to its remarkable longevity. It’s been a community effort through and through.

Volunteer Richmond began running the Christmas Fund in 2002. It had taken a number of different forms in the years and decades prior, with the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the local health department play-ing key roles at different times.

There were even instances when individuals stepped up to keep the Christmas Fund going. We’re simply carrying on a legacy.

The Christmas Fund is an important program, not only because it helps so many people, but because of what it repre-sents. It says something about our community, something fundamental about who we are: we don’t turn our back on those in need. Instead, whether

by volunteering, or donating, or sponsoring a family, we offer a helping hand. In 80 years, we’ve never stopped being there for one another.

Thank you, Richmond, for sup-porting the Christmas Fund. It’s been a great run. May it continue for a long time yet.

Bye bye tunnel, hello bridgeEditor:

Re: “Keep the Massey Tunnel, but add a new bridge,” Letters, Jan. 9.

Great article and thank you to Carol Day for her words of wisdom. However, the Massey Tun-nel replacement —“The Bridge”—is already man-dated, decided, and a go, thus, allowing for much larger ships to navigate and ply up/down river.

Currently, the Massey sits too high and cur-rently, limits the ship size capability and we are the west end shipping door for the country.

The bridge replacement affords a much deeper Fraser River Channel for the likes of Panamax size ships—so named for the maximum allowable sized ships plying the Panama Canal.

Accessible/developable shipping industrial land in the Lower Mainland is no longer available and/or at a premium and the inner harbour is full. The bridge will open up many acres of industrial land.

Editor:Like Walter Rae, (“Richmond

researcher discovers ‘truth’ behind JFK,” Jan. 16) I too have an avid inter-est in the assassination of President Kennedy. I have spent many years reading numerous books, articles and research papers about this tragic event. I have also viewed all the avail-able photos and the Zapruder short film of President Kennedy being shot.

The last time I checked there were about 30 different conspiracy theo-ries about this murder all claiming different and contradictory theories as to who was behind this assassina-tion and who actually shot President Kennedy. Now the first rule of logic demands that all these theories can’t all be correct!

Some like Walter Rae, blame shad-owy “right-wing” group of govern-ment CIA agents who really killed Kennedy, and conveniently set up Lee Harvey Oswald as a “patsy” to take the blame. Others claim that it was the

US Mafia that was really behind JFK’s assassination. Others point a finger at Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson as the one who had most to gain from death of Kennedy, so it must have been LBJ who put out a contract on President Kennedy in order to become president! Others blame Fidel Castro who ordered this murder because JFK was initiating numerous plots to have Castro killed—Castro learned about these plots and was able to get to President Kennedy before Kennedy got to him.

The best and the most thorough investigation of JFK’s assassination, in my humble opinion, was conducted by Vincent Bugliosi, a well known world-class American attorney, who details his findings in his exhaustive book, Reclaiming History: the Assas-sination of President John F. Kennedy (2007). This book printed in very small text size would take up 12 volumes of text if printed in regular sized text. The footnotes alone were so numer-

ous that they could not be printed in the book but are contained on a CD disk. To those who are really interest-ed in history and not just in specula-tions about history (which Mr. Rae and other JFK conspiracy theorists embrace), I would highly recommend reading this book.

Another, great book on this assas-sination was written by Gus Russo, who in his book, Live by the Sword: The Secret War Against Castro and Death of JFK (1998), details the best motive and the best reason why Kennedy was killed. Again, hard evidence is presented not just wild speculation. Another invaluable book about this assassination is Edward Jay Epstein’s book, Legend: the Secret World of Lee Harvey Oswald (1978). Anyone wanting to know who Oswald was and why he wanted to kill President Kennedy must read this book!

One of favorite claims of JFK conspiracy theorists is to claim that available evidence points that

President Kennedy was shot from the front rather than from the back from sixth floor window of the Book Depository Building where Oswald had built an improvised sniper’s nest. In my collection of President Kennedy books, I have a book called The torch is passed…. This is a step by step illustrated eyewitness account of President Kennedy’s assassination published by The Associated Press shortly after JFK was killed. It contains numerous black and white as well as colour photos. There are several photos of the actual assassination in this book. The most valuable photo contained in this book was taken by AP photographer James Altgens who took his historic photo just seconds after assassin fired the shots that killed President Kennedy. Altgens was standing directly in front of the approaching motorcade containing convertible limousine that was carry-ing President Kennedy and it shows secret agents as well as spectators

turning their heads back to look back toward Book Depository Building located behind the limousine from which the sound of gunshots came. There were also numerous eyewit-nesses who actually saw Oswald pointing rifle from sixth floor before he shot President Kennedy. This one photo all by itself clearly shows that JFK was shot from behind and de-bunks false claims that JFK was shot from the front.

Bugliosi’s book contains more than 50 verified facts and direct evidence (not circumstantial evidence) that clearly point to Lee Harvey Oswald as the shooter who killed President Ken-nedy. Bugliosi also irrefutably dissects and debunks some of the major JFK conspiracy theories (including one favoured by Walter Rae) that ignore these obvious facts showing that it was indeed Lee Harvey Oswald who killed President Kennedy.

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

and a manager who continues to push me to think outside the box. Thank you,

An example of one of Sans façon’s urban infrastructure projects in Calgary.

Urban infrastructure re-imagined by artists

The men behind the art collab-orative Sans façon will deliver a

free lecture at Richmond City Hall Wednesday, Jan. 23.

French architect Charles Blanc and British artist Tristan Surtees will present the first of three talks in the City of Richmond’s 2013 Lulu Series: Art in the City. The duo will speak on how artists can help re-imagine urban infrastructure to renew the relation-ship between people and their environ-ment.

Aboriginal cellist Cris Derkson will offer a short performance before Blanc and Surtees take the floor.

The talk begins at 7 p.m. in council chambers. Admission is free, but seating is limited. Reserve at [email protected].

Richmond Public Library is launching a

new speaker series celebrating local authors and their works.

Authors in Our Midst begins Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. with a reading from Rahela Nayebzadah, author of Jeegareh Ma: Stories of Collected and Forgot-ten Memories.

Published last year, Jeegareh Ma is an au-tobiographical novel based on the journey of the author’s family to Canada from Af-ghanistan. It’s the first book for the young Af-ghan Canadian author and Burnaby resident, who is completing her

doctorate studies at University of B.C.

Nayebzadah says she is now working on a second book, Monster Child.

The reading takes place in the Kwok-Chu Lee Living Room at the main library branch in Brighouse (7700 Minoru Gate). Admission is free; res-ervations not required. Signed copies of her book will be available for purchase.

Local author Janet Love Morrison will celebrate the launch of her fourth book Friends, 6 Women, 6 Cultures, 1 Humanity at the following Authors in Our Midst on Tues-day, Feb. 5 at noon in the Brighouse branch.

The world premiere of Simon Johnston’s play Sisters debuts on Gateway Theatre’s MainStage Jan. 31.

Sisters, written by Gateway’s former artistic director, is inspired by Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters.

Set in 1936, two Russian sisters live in a massive house in a Chinese gar-rison town where their deceased father used to train Nationalist Chinese troops. As they struggle to make ends meet and maintain the illusion of their former privileged lives, their Chinese sister-in-law takes over the house, one room at a time.

Luisa Jojic, Josette Jorge, John Ng, Sarah Louise Turner and Donna White star; Sarah Rodgers directs. Tickets, $30 to $48, at gatewaytheatre.com or at the Gateway box o� ce at 504-270-1812. Sisters runs to Feb. 16.

arts & entertainmentWinners and Losers winning audiences

The buzz from Gateway Theatre’s Studio B over Winners and Losers is car-rying over to Vancouver’s upcoming PuSh festival.

The 90-minute play, written and performed by Marcus Youssef and James Long made its world premiere last fall at Gateway, and was one of the plays featured in the Richmond theatre’s SceneFirst script develop-ment program.

The play is a staged conversation between the two actors, who play a game they’ve created called Winners and Losers. In it they name people places or things and debate whether each is a winner or loser.

The play’s run at PuSh International Performing Arts Festival is from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2 at Goldcorp Centre for the Arts in Vancouver’s Woodward’s district.

Tickets, $27 to $35, at ticketstonight.ca or 604-684-2787. More info at pushfestival.ca.

Richmond’s Emily Chessa has joined B.C.’s biggest dance company

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

It’s one of Canada’s largest the-atres with 2,781 seats, and Em-ily Chessa was on stage. It was last fall’s opening of Ballet BC’s 2012-13 season at Queen Elizabeth

Theatre—a stage Chessa only dreamed of being on as a youngster.

The 21-year-old Richmond woman was now danc-ing on it.

“It was an exhilarating experience,” she said dur-ing a break from rehearsal for Ballet BC’s latest show. “From watching Ballet BC in the audience, and thinking it would be so amazing to be on that stage with them, to being in a perfor-mance was really humbling.”

Chessa joined Ballet BC as an apprentice dancer last year, a company founded in 1986 that features 18 dancers—including Chessa and two other apprentices. She’s following up November’s performance with an appearance in the Vancouver-based company’s show Encore, which hits the stage next week. Three evening performances will feature

three audience favourites from past Ballet BC seasons.

Chessa trained at Richmond’s Burke Academy of Dance for seven years

with Mary and Elizabeth Burke. Her high school years at Steveston Sec-

ondary were cut short when the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School came calling. She

graduated from the school in 2010, moved back home to Richmond and started danc-

ing in the graduate program of Vancouver’s Arts Umbrella.Her younger sister Jenny, 19, is also a dancer.

Since joining Ballet BC last year, Chessa, who ap-peared as part of The Richmond Review’s 30 Under 30 in 2009, has been drawing inspiration from the company’s dancers—even if she isn’t able to dance in all pieces.

“I’ve always wanted to dance here. To be an ap-prentice here is a really great accomplishment,” she said. “Ballet BC is a great company. It’s a great community to be in.”

Encore by Ballet BC•Queen Elizabeth Theatre, from Jan. 24 to 26•Featuring Her-man Schmerman, 1st Flash and Petite Cérémonie•Presented with the PuSh Interna-tional Performing Arts Festival•Tickets, $22.25 to $70 at ticket master.ca or call 1-855-985-2787

From Page 13In Encore, three audience favourites from past Ballet BC

seasons will be featured, including William Forsythe’s Herman Schmerman, in which Chessa will be dancing Jan. 25. Set to music by Dutch composer Thom Willems and pushing dancers to the limit, Herman Schmerman was a hit with Ballet BC audi-ences when it premiered in 2010.

“You have to have a lot of stamina for this piece. It’s exhilarat-ing to push the technique and take it to another level,” said Chessa.

After this show, she’ll join the company on tour in Ontario next month.

Beginning her professional dance training at Royal Winnipeg Ballet School as a teenager, Chessa recognized her love for the art and believed she could have a career in it. Now, back in Richmond and apprenticing at Ballet BC, Chessa has found a company where she can continue to grow—and give back.

Said Chessa: “I definitely want to keep going with my career and be a part of the next generation that really expresses this art form.”

arts & entertainmentChessa to dance in Herman Schmerman Steven Wright tells jokes

at River Rock SaturdayRiver Rock hosts a standup comedy show starring Steven

Wright on Saturday.The comedian is known for his monotone voice and slow

deadpan delivery of offbeat jokes. An example: “Last night I stayed up late playing poker with tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.”

Wright, 57, got his big break in 1982 after being booked for his first TV appearance on The Tonight Show. Johnny Carson enjoyed Wright’s performance so much, he invited him to appear again a week later.

The rare feat helped put his fledgling career into high gear.On his rarely used Twitter account, Wright offers a 28-word

biography: “I was born. When I was 23 I started telling jokes. Then I started going on television and doing films. That’s still what I am doing. The end.”

Wright performs Saturday, Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. at River Rock Show Theatre. Tickets, $49.50 to $59.50 (plus fees), at ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000.

Community Sport Hero Awards are coming to Richmond on March 14

Sport BC is bringing the Community Sport Hero Awards to the City of Richmond on March 14.

The awards will honour long-standing com-munity volunteers who have made significant contributions to sport.

Nominations are now being accepted through sportbc.com until Friday, February 15, 2013.

“Volunteers fuel the development and sus-tainability of community sport within British Columbia,” said Rob Newman, President & CEO of Sport BC.

“These awards are an important and meaning-ful opportunity to acknowledge individuals who have made significant and continued contribu-tions to sport within their community. Sport BC is honoured to partner with Teck in highlighting these deserving volunteers.”

To be eligible, nominees for the Community Sport Hero Awards must meet the following criteria:

•Be an individual from the local community who makes a voluntary contribution to sport through coaching, officiating, boards, adminis-tration, special events, etc;

•Be an individual (not an organization or foun-dation); and

•Has been, or continues to be, a dedicated sport volunteer for a minimum of eight years.

This ceremony marks the first of eight stops in 2013 for the traveling awards show, presented by Teck. It will be the first visit to Richmond for Sport BC’s Community Sport Hero Awards since the program began in 2001.

Ethel Tibbits Awards deadline extended to Jan. 25

The nomination deadline has been extended for the 20th annual Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards.

Do you know of a Richmond woman who deserves recognition for the great things she does to make this city such an amazing place in which to live, work and play?

If so, please take the time to nominate her so the community can congratulate her and sing her praises.

All entries must be submitted by Friday, Jan. 25 and must include a minimum of two and a maximum of three reference letters.

Along with the sports, arts, business and youth categories, the community category has been split into two separate new categories, one for volunteers, the other for professionals.

The nomination form is available at www.tinyurl.com/2013Ethels.

Higher fees, less patient access among concernsby Jeff NagelBlack Press

The planned buyout of B.C.’s second biggest medical lab company by its larger rival has raised questions over the implications of a near-monopoly in the medical testing field.

LifeLabs on Tuesday unveiled plans to buy Surrey-headquartered BC Biomedical Labo-ratories for an undis-closed price.

BC Biomedical has nearly 800 employees, 500 of them in Surrey, and runs 45 labs across the Lower Mainland that handle 32,000 tests daily.

Toronto-based Life-Labs has 80 service centres in B.C. and does 44,000 tests per day.

B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said she’s notified the federal Competition Bureau that the prov-ince wants to closely examine the potential impacts of the deal.

“We’re interested be-cause it would mean that one private lab company would have about 95 per cent of the private lab busi-ness,” she said.

A key concern is whether lab fees paid by government could go up under a single dominant provider, she said.

In 2011-12, LifeLabs billed the Medical Ser-vices Plan $125 million, while BC Biomedical billed nearly $80 mil-lion.

While the two firms have said there are no plans to lay off staff, MacDiarmid is also concerned the two sets of testing centres may be consolidated, reducing access for pa-tients.

“Right now patients in British Columbia have very good access – probably quite a bit better than some of the other provinces.”

MacDiarmid said B.C. isn’t yet taking a posi-tion for or against the proposed takeover with federal regulators.

The two firms handle the vast majority of publicly funded medi-cal tests not done in hospitals.

NDP health critic Mike Farnworth also wants the deal closely scrutinized.

“I would not want to end up in a situation where we’re on the short end of the stick – in terms of pricing and ability to negotiate deals and agreements,” he said.

B.C. Medical Associa-tion president Dr. Shel-ley Ross said a price re-form initiative to try to reduce lab testing fee costs for government should not be affected by the merger.

“We’ve been very

happy with the perfor-mance of both com-panies over the years,” Ross said. “We have no reason to think it’s go-ing to change.”

The deal is expect-ed to close later this spring, subject to regu-latory approval.

LifeLabs president and chief executive of-ficer Sue Paish said in a release the operations must become more ef-fective and efficient in light of rising demand, limited funding and a need to continue rein-vesting in new technol-ogy.

“We are fully aligned in our commitment to quality and continu-ous improvement in patient services in B.C.

going forward,” added BC Biomedical CEO Doug Buchanan.

BC Bio began as a partnership of pathol-ogists founded nearly 55 years ago by Dr. Cam Coady and is now a major source of new biotechnology jobs in the Lower Mainland.

In a Black Press in-terview last year, Bu-chanan estimated the firm is seeing growth of five per cent a year in patient visits and seven to eight per cent in test volumes.

The growing and ag-ing population of the Lower Mainland is driv-ing demand, while sci-entific advances have allowed lab firms to steadily offer new tests.

How do you find an image to tell the story of two Russian sisters being pushed out of their home one room at a time by their new sister-in-law? As you might imagine, finding a picture to

represent what a play is all about—one that says more than a page full of words—is no easy task. The Communications team met with Artisitic Director Jovanni Sy & Artisitic Associate Amy Lynn Strilchuk to brainstorm ideas. We had one particular idea we hoped would work. With the help of photographers David & Emily Cooper and Costume Designer Carmen Alatorre we ended up with these great elements. With some editing magic, and a caption of “Know your place” we came up with what we think is an arresting image. Come to Sisters and find out if you think this picture is worth more than a thousand words. See you there.

Restaurant gets one-day closure

Posh Charcoal Collabo-ration Dining, at 3779 Sexsmith Rd., was shut down for one day last weekd by health offi-cials following the dis-covery of a pest infes-tation during a routine inspection.

The eatery, near Cap-stan Way and operated by Tony Kuo and Peter Leung, was allowed to re-open last Friday.

Thursday’s routine inspection, according to a report available at www.vcha.ca, found “signs of rodent infesta-tion” in the “kitchen and the upper level storage room,” the report said.

The restaurant was also closed because of unsanitary conditions.

“Entire food prepara-tion area is visibly dirty with spilled food on the floor, walls, ceiling, food equipment, food contact surfaces, meat slicer and stair case at back. Accumulation of equipment, empty boxes and other debris observed in the hot wa-ter tank area. Fridges in bar area are visibly dirty with spilled food. Exhaust systems and filters visibly dirty. Date of last service was in 2010,” the report said.

The restaurant’s sani-tary facilities were also deemed inadequate.

“No liquid soap or pa-per towel is available at hand wash station in the food preparation area and the sta� washroom. Food is being stored in the sta� washroom. Hand wash sink is in (sic) inaccessible.”

No sanitizer was found in the final rinse cycle of the dishwash-ing machine, the report added

business

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Predators who target singles on online dating sites and text messages that lure cellphone users into revealing personal information are among the top scams that aim to separate consumers from their cash this year.

The annual top 10 scams list was released Tuesday by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in partner-ship with police and both federal and provincial con-sumer protection authori-ties.

The number one scam of the year actually plays on the role of the bureau itself – fraudsters have sent

millions of o� cial-looking emails to people and busi-nesses claiming they’re the subject of a BBB com-plaint and investigation and directing them to click a link that downloads a vi-rus that steals banking in-formation and passwords.

“The immediate fear is that your company’s repu-tation may be harmed by a

complaint,” BBB president and CEO Danielle Primrose said. “And that is why the scam works so well.”

She said young people with smart phones can be particularly suscep-tible to text messaging scams that o� er them gift cards at major retail-ers and lure them to a web site where they give up personal information.

Romance scams have spiked in activity, she said, noting more than 1,000 victims in Canada lost a combined $14 mil-lion last year.

Perpetrators always have an excuse why they can’t meet in person and build an online relation-ship with the victim be-fore asking them to wire money for travel or to help with a heart-break-ing family emergency.

“These are probably very under-reported,” Primrose said. “Who wants to admit that they’ve been taken ad-vantage of simply for falling in love?”

Older schemes are also still making the rounds.

Rogue door-to-door

contractors remain an ongoing problem.

And ‘curbers’ selling de-� cient used cars, often imported from the U.S., are expected to become a growing problem as a � ood of vehicles damaged by Hurricane Sandy make their way to other jurisdic-tions, including B.C.

“Buy from somebody you have recourse against, such as a licensed dealer,” suggested Doug Long-hurst of the Motor Vehicle Sales Authority of British Columbia.

Investment fraud re-

mains a major problem for commercial crime in-vestigators.

Businesses continue to fall victims to phoney in-voice scams, such as one where a Gabriola Island man bombarded busi-nesses with fake invoices of about $140 each for a web hosting company. He raked in $150,000 be-fore authorities caught him.

For the full list of top scams for this year and tips on how to avoid falling for them see www.mbc.bbb.org/top-ten-scams.

Consumers urged to be vigilant as BBB releases top scams

WINTER WEATHER OPERATIONS AT YVR

INSIDERY V R A MONTHLY LOOK AT WHAT’S NEW AND NEWSWORTHY AT YVR.

Snowfall doesn’t happen often in Vancouver, but when it does, YVR has the right stuff to deal with the white stuff. Here’s a look at YVR’s winter operations.

When winter hits, YVR’s operations team coordinates an airport-wide response to clear

snow from runways and taxiways, de-ice aircraft and ensure passengers can get safely

to the terminal. From airlines and ground handlers to the control tower team, everyone

is involved.

December 19, 2012 saw an unprecedented, single-day snowfall descend upon Metro

Vancouver. It’s this kind of weather that YVR operations teams plan for year-round. More

than 80 pieces of snow removal equipment worked to clear snow from taxiways and

runways, keeping planes and people moving safely.

Q: What are some of the risk factors for breast cancer?Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. About one in eight women will have breast cancer in North America. It is diagnosed by breast examination, mammography, ultrasound and biopsy. The current recommendation is for all women to begin having mammograms every one to two years starting

at age 40. All women should carefully examine their breasts monthly preferably after their periods. Breasts usually change in shape and appearance with age, however, any significant changes or hardening or lumps of concern should alert one to see her physician immediately.Here are some of the risk factors for breast cancer that you should know.• riskincreaseswithage• positivefamilyhistoryespeciallysister,motherormaternalsideauntsandfirstcousinsdoublestherisk.• cancerinonebreastincreasestheriskofanothercancerinthesamebreastandtheotherbreast.• densebreasttissuediagnosedbymammographyandbreastconditionssuchasatypicalhyperplasiaincreases

Kins launches contest to help you with your healthy resolutionsby Sheila Reynolds and Evan SealBlack Press

It’s a new year, and now it’s time for a new lifestyle.

Black Press and The Richmond Review have partnered with Kin’s Farm Market to launch the Green Fighters Challenge in 13 com-munities in the Lower Mainland, which will follow participants over several months as they change their life and get healthy.

One person will be chosen from each participating community to make a change and win prizes.

The grand prize will be a cruise for two from Cruise Experts. It will be awarded at the end of the 13-week contest. However, one Green Fighter will win a prize each week during weekly challenges. But it’s not just the par-ticipants who will be able to win. Canadian Tire will provide prizes for readers as well as the challengers as part of their commitment to healthy living, and you are encouraged to check out the Green Fighters website to fol-low the participants’ progress and share your thoughts about how you are eating better and getting fit yourself for 2013.

The Canadian Cancer Society has noted that changing just one thing about your life, whether it’s eating more vegetables or quit-ting smoking, can reduce your cancer risk. Kin’s Farm Market is pleased to be able to provide fruits and vegetables to the partici-pants in the Green Fighters Challenge, as well as produce to every customer that will put you on the road for achieving your New Year’s resolution and a healthier lifestyle in general. The Green Fighters site will regularly include recipes, special offers and tips for making a change, whether it’s to your diet or fitness level.

2013 is shaping up to be a year of change for UBC student Ben Duenas.

After spending most of his days during the

last few years in a classroom, the chemi-cal engineering student is looking to make some changes in his life.

“While going to school full time, I didn’t have time to exercise,” said Duenas. “I’ve made it my New Year’s resolution to get out there and try new things.”

For Sukhmani Pannu, also 23, getting in shape and staying in shape has become her goal for this year. She has already made some changes to the way she eats.

“I found that I used to have a meal around 6:30 or 7 p.m. every night, but now I eat earlier, around 5 p.m. and then have a small salad.”

The strategy seems to be working, Pannu said, as she’s already dropped 20 pounds.

A recent poll of Lower Mainland residents, however, shows Duenas and Pannu may be in the minority.

Results of an Ipsos Reid survey (commis-sioned by Fitness Town Surrey) released last month indicate just 14 per cent of people actually made New Year’s fitness-related resolutions last year. And of those who did, about two-thirds stuck to them.

Those who abandoned their healthy plans listed lack of motivation, laziness, and lack of time as their top reasons for abandoning their good intentions.

When asked what would motivate them to continue with keep-fit resolutions, survey respondents said having more time would help, as would personal support from a trainer or nutritionist, or having someone to work out with.

Others people said more money – to buy equipment or for a gym membership – might prompt them to exercise, as would a better schedule (such as a more flexible work timetable) or having a regular schedule or fitness program created for them.

For Pannu, it doesn’t matter what the statistics show, she said she just wants to get healthy – and look good.

“I want to be a fitness trainer, so I need to have a six-pack,” she said, laughing.

Q: I’m afraid my old furnace will quit in the middle of winter, is it worth replacing before it breaks down?

A: Being without heat in the middle of winter when your old furnace quits is something you want to avoid especially with the cold snap we are having now. If your contractor is suggesting that your furnace needs replacing it is wise not to put it off. If the cost of replacing your old furnace is the reason making you hold off, consider that some older models of furnaces deliver only 55% of the heat to your home while a new high-efficiency natural gas furnace may deliver up to 97% of the heat it creates to your home. Your old furnace is probably costing you money. A new natural gas furnace will likely save you money on your heating bills.

Financing options are available from financial institutions for home improvement projects and at Ashton Service Group we offer financing to our residential customers with Snap Financial. Check with your preferred plumbing and heating contractor and find out what financing options are available.

Q: Why buy an RRSP?

A: As well as helping you save for retirement, there are two great tax benefits:

1. An RRSP contribution reduces your income tax, and depending on how much you make, you’ll end up with either a lower tax bill or a higher refund.

2. The money earned by an investment in an RRSP is not taxed until it’s withdrawn; it grows tax-free while it’s in your plan. Then, when you’re ready to retire, typically your income is lower and so is your tax rate.

Basically, you save on income tax and accumulate tax-deferred savings for your retirement.

The deadline for your 2012 RRSP contributions is March 1, 2013. For more information, please contact Daniel Wang Ah-Fat, Financial Advisor, at (604) 270-4233 or [email protected]

Thinking of buying a lottery ticket in the hopes of funding your retirement? Why gamble your money away when you can invest it in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)? C&C

Q: Why is there hesitation by some Sellers to put their homes on the market in January?

A: It doesn’t make sense to me! In my opinion, the facts are pretty simple. This time of year, December to February, there are fewer active listings than at other times of the year, so that means Buyers have fewer choices, right? That means your chances of finding a Buyer might be better, yes? The Buyers that are shopping for a home right now are definitely serious Buyers. They are not looky-loo’s… they are not ‘fishing’….they are serious Buyers who NEED to find a home to buy (or they would not be out in the ice and snow in their mucklucks).

When springtime arrives, the bulbs are sprouting and the grass goes green again, more Sellers list their homes for sale. That means more competition if you are also a Seller. It means Buyers have more choices, which could mean fewer showings, fewer offers, and potentially a lower price offer on your home. Hmmmmm. If you are ready now, and if you know how much you want to list your home for, and it feels like the right time, then list your home and take advantage of this time of year. Get your home ready for showings by decluttering, polishing it up and then call your Realtor. If you wait till spring, like many do, you will just be one in a sea of listings that waited until the sun came out……. I’m just saying…..

Q: Last fall CBC aired a segment on the program Marketplace which showed a wide variety of opinions from different dentists about what treatment the same undercover patient needed. Why would that be so?

A: CBC also did this a few years ago with similar results. Their University of Toronto experts suggested the wide discrepancies between the treatment proposals was partly because of different training the various dentists had received. What was not established was what the “patient” had requested as their chief concern. Dentists can provide many treatment options, depending on a patient’s needs and wants. However, many people (most, in fact) are unaware what treatment they might be needing. Reputable dental professions are not only responsible for explaining what your treatment options are but, more importantly, why.Dentistry is not rocket science. If you run across a dentist who recommends procedures and they can’t clearly explain to you, or demonstrate why, then you may not need that treatment. It may be the dentist needs you to have the treatment done more than you do. There are, unfortunately, some snake-oil dentists out there. And not all dentists have the same level of care, skill, knowledge and training as others. Treatment plans, also should never be based on what your dental insurance will pay either, although it may play into your decisions about what you wish to do when you are fully informed about your situation.There are many dentists available now and there has been an upswing in ethical issues within the profession in the last few years, according to our profession’s national malpractice insurer CDSPI. If you’re not sure where to go, ask your friends, and if you’re not sure the dental office you’re currently using is right for you, then it probably isn’t.

Q: How do I ensure my gas fireplace is well maintained and safe?

A: Gas � replaces are much easier to clean, maintain and more ef� cient than a traditional wood-burning � replace, but they are not maintenance free. Here are 5 tips:

1: For safety, ensure that the gas valve has been turned off prior to maintenance.

2: Have the unit inspected, then serviced by a licensed gas � tter prior to use. They check for leaks and or blockages in the system. Also, arrange annual servicing.

3: Have a glass safety shield installed if it is missing. (Many older units do not have these.)

4: To save money, have the pilot turned off during the spring & summer, again by a licensed gas � tter.

5: Install a plug mounted carbon monoxide detector as close as possible to the � replace.

It’s a new year and I’ve made resolutions in the past to get back into shape and failed miserably. I do sincerely want to get back

in shape and take care of my health but how can I stay on track and continue to make progress without giving up?

New Year’s resolutions are always tough to stick to but there are a few things you can do to stay focused. The first thing you need to is break your resolution down

into smaller short term goals. For example, if you want to get back in shape start by setting a small goal of exercising 3 times per week. Second, try joining a class or hiring a trainer, your chances of success are far greater if you exercise in a structured environment rather than on your own. Finally, try keeping a journal to record your progress and so you can see where you need to make adjustments if necessary. All the best for 2013!

Yours in health,Isaac Payne

Q: How can we protect ourselves from colds?

A: When we look at colds we are so engrained in the “medical” way of thinking that we just assume that a cold is a bad thing or a sickness. A different way to look at this is to realize that a cold, with all of its symptoms – runny nose, cough, congestion, etc, is a way that the body cleans itself, a cleansing process. It is necessary and it is a vital way that the body stays healthy. The person with the cold may not FEEL the greatest as they go through the symptoms but it is necessary.

The best ways to prevent getting a cold during this busy season are to:• Wash your hands often.• Take your vitamins regularly and eat properly.• Get enough rest.• Avoid excessive stress.• Avoid excessive amounts of sweets and alcohol.• Keep exercising.• Take at least 1000 IU of vitamin D daily.• Say “NO” when you are feeling overwhelmed.• And see your Chiropractor for an adjustment- because a healthy nervous system will help your body to heal faster.

I am suffering from Acne Rosacea.What can I use?

Acne Rosacea is a condition characterized by chronic facial redness and can worsen over time. In some cases, it may look like you are blushing or flushing, even when you are not. There may also be blemishes and pimples alongside the redness. If

you suffer from acne rosacea, you probably know that it can come and go and worsen with specific triggers. For example, some people have allergies to dust or fragrances that can worsen the rosacea.

The good news is, rosacea can be treated both by prescriptions and by over the counter products. Because many times rosacea flares up due to the use of topical irritants, my basic strategy has always been to simplify skin care regimens and to use topical creams that can renourish the skin. To do this, I recommend Dr. Hauschka gentle cleansing milk, a product that although lightly scented, avoids soap, sodium lauryl sulfate, and parabens that can trigger rosacea. On top of this, I recommend Linacare, a hypoallergenic facial moisturizer that can penetrate into the basal layer of the skin to rehydrate and allow the skin to repair itself. Just by simplifying complex skin care regimens into these 2 easy steps, and adding Metagenics EPA DHA high concentrate fish oil to reduce inflammation, I find that acne rosacea and the skin overall can improve dramatically over a months time. Try these products today or inquire about them with our skin care pharmacists at Pharmasave Steveston Village.

Q: We currently have a wood-burning fireplace with brick facing and a mantel. We are planning to install a gas insert. What steps should we follow if we want to update the fireplace surround and mantel?

A: To best prepare for this project two things should happen.

First, do not remove the brick facing. This is what the manufacturers expect to be in place when they designed,

tested, and approved their inserts. The existing fireplace and chimney must maintain the standards set by the Fire Code ensuring the heat generated by the new insert will be managed safely by the existing fireplace. If you have a rough rock face then speak with a mason about its removal and prepare to replace it with a standard brick in advance of finishing the fireplace.

Second, you should be ready to make a decision on the style, size, and model of fireplace insert. Having the manufacturer’s specifications for the insert will give you clearances for combustible and non-combustible materials. Plan to use tile and/or stone material on the face brick immediately around the opening while the specifications will clarify mantel details. For example, our most popular insert requires a height of 44” for a 12” deep mantel when measured from the hearth whereas choosing a less efficient unit from the same manufacturer will allow the 12” deep mantle to be at a height of 37”.

We always invite our customer to come by our showroom with pictures, dimensions and some ideas of what they would like as a finished project so that we can assist in the planning and selection of your new insert.

Q: Can my IT person collect evidence for possible litigation?

A: The answer would be no. I just finished a case where a client took a laptop to their IT person to restore deleted data that would have contained useful evidence in a possible civil fraud case. This was an issue that was severely impacting their business on an ongoing basis. Not only did this IT person do a sloppy job using forensically inadmissible tools, they restored to an external disk then copied back the files to the original hard disk. Needless to say, they overwrote what would have been the data they were looking for and destroyed any evidence in the process.

And a heads up to HR and company executives; IT staff are not licensed to investigate and collect evidence on people. Only the state and licensed private investigators are allowed to do that. If you dismiss someone for what you think is cause, and the evidence has not been properly collected, you may be in for some long days in court. For every person I find guilty, I’ll find another one who is not. Interpretation and evaluation of evidence in the IT world is best left to licensed professionals.

Q: Can Supplements help my Hearing?

A: According to a ‘Healthy Hearing’ article from 2011 studies have shown that dietary nutrients can provide antioxidant benefits. These include Vitamin A, B Complex, Vitamins C and E. They can also increase blood circulation, pump up your immune system and help fight infection. Other minerals such as magnesium, zinc and potassium support nerve transmission and protect the inner hair cells of the cochlea which are vital to hearing well. Green leafy vegetables eaten regularly, fish oils and folic acid are shown to help delay some hearing losses.

Of course you should always consult your physician to check if any of these supplements interfere with medications you may be taking.

In the meantime a healthy balanced diet is beneficial to your overall health.

Q: What happens if we fail to pass a three quarter vote exempting the strata corporation from the depreciation report requirement?

A: Normally, an exemption, if desired, would be voted on at an annual general meeting. It may also be done by calling a special general meeting. The vote should always be conducted well in advance of the next deadline for obtaining a depreciation report. The regulation specifies three such deadlines or triggers:1. December 13, 2013 (two years after the legislative requirement came

into force);2. Three years after your last valid depreciation report was obtained; and3. Eighteen months after any previously passed three quarter vote to exempt.The eighteen month time frame allows six months to complete a depreciation report if an exemption passes one year but fails at the next AGM.

HOW LONG IS A DEPRECIATION REPORT GOOD FOR?The regulation specifies that a new report must be obtained three years after the last one. These subsequent reports may be less expensive than the original baseline report as some of the information and modeling will only require updating. However, the new report must still include on-site visual inspections and cover at least 30 years from that date. Be aware that, in addition to your assets having aged since the last report, interest rates, inflation rates, and the cost of items and labour will likely have changed.Some experts advise that depreciation reports should cover the entire expected life of the building rather than the minimum 30 years required. Such a report may be no more expensive and would give the strata corporation better information to use in planning, saving and equitably allocating costs between present and future owners.

by Jim RobinsonSpecial to Black Press

When India-based Tata took over, many wondered what would be the fate of Jaguar

and Land Rover.The answer, as we were shown at the

recent global launch of the 2013 Jaguar XF/XJ all-wheel-drive sedans and Land Rover LR2 compact SUV in Mont Tremblant, is both brands are doing very well.

The engine in the LR2 is now a 2.0-litre inline turbo four-cylinder sourced from Ford replacing a 3.2-litre Volvo supplied six-cylin-der. The new unit produces 240 hp and 250 lb/ft of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Top speed is 200 km/h with a 0-100 km/h time of 8.8 seconds. It has a tow rating of up to 1,585 kg (3,500 lb).

It wouldn’t be a Land Rover if it couldn’t go just about anywhere on the planet.

Thus the heart of the LR2 is a full time all-wheel-drive system based on the same Haldex unit as found in the Evoque.

This is not a simple “slip and grip” AWD system, but uses Haldex centre-coupling tech-nology that continuously alters the front-rear torque split, through a hydraulically oper-ated multi-plate wet clutch. The system can pre-engage at rest to reduce wheel-spin from standing starts, engages quickly when traction loss is detected and disengages quickly to optimize the response of the stability control systems.

Only a small amount of torque is fed to the rear wheels under normal conditions, such as on a straight paved road, but in low traction or off-road situations, almost all the engine torque can instantaneously be delivered to the rear wheels, if required.

Land Rover calls this its Terrain Response sys-tem and drive modes can be selected by the driver by a simple rocker switch on the trans-mission tunnel. Modes are: General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts and Sand.

The LR2 also has a Hill Descent Control fea-ture. Using the anti-lock brake system, it can be programed to let you go down at speeds that can be changed according to which surface is selected.

I’ve done this before, but it still takes literally

a great of leap of faith to never touch the brake and gas and let the system ease you down.

Styling is pretty much the same as before but the interior has a host of detail changes, starting with the new centre console with a seven-inch (178 mm) color touch screen that controls the Meridian Sound System to the optional navigation system.

A way-cool feature is the optional “Say What You See” voice activation system which will prompt drivers visually with the commands they need to speak in order to control func-tions in the audio, optional satellite navigation, and phone systems. The prompts are displayed in an easy-to-follow ‘step by step’ format on the screen.

But perhaps the best feature of the interior is the commanding view of the road one gets from the driver’s seat.

There are four trim levels with pricing start-ing at: LR2, $39,990; LR2 SE, $44,590; LR2 HSE, $46,990 and LR2 HSE LUX, $48,190.

In the compact luxury SUV segment there are many choices, all competitively priced and all sumptuously equipped.

But what stands out is the essential “British-ness” of the LR2 with the look and feel of great solidity made even more so by that “thunk” sound of the door as it closes.

And, of course, there is that cachet of driving a Land Rover you just don’t associate with its nearest competitors.

While the 2013 Land Rover LR2 looks similar to the outgoing model, it sports a new, more power-ful engine that uses less fuel plus a new permanent all-wheel-drive system.

by Jim RobinsonSpecial to Black Press

The 2013 Cadillac ATS represents a wonderful insight into how GM corporate thinking and reaction to consumer interests have changed.

Prior to the meltdown of 2009, GM pretty well pumped out what it thought the people wanted, the Cadillac Cimarron of the 1980s being a prime example.

Based on the lowly J-car chassis shared with econocars like the Chevrolet Cavalier, it was just that—a front-drive Cavalier with a leather trim package and better suspension bushings. It put consumers off the idea of a baby Cadillac for years after.

Cadillac tried again in 2002 with the CTS, a much more serious effort with rear- or all-wheel drive and a nicely weighted chassis topped off by signature, razor-edge styling. While it was hoped the CTS would attract BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 buyers, the CTS was bigger and heavier — really more mid-size like the 5 Series and A6.

In a bold move, a completely new chassis—the Alpha—was created for a new generation of small, nimble cars of which the ATS would be first. We will be hearing a lot more about the Alpha in coming years and I suspect the new generation Camaro among them.

The Alpha was designed for rear or all-wheel-drive and 50:50 weight distribution —key elements if the ATS was going to match the Eurosedans. Like the Europeans, the ATS offers a choice of gasoline engines, but unlike the others, no diesel (yet).

The styling leaves no one in doubt that this is a Cadillac but it is also very aerodynamic with an integrated rear spoil-er, outside mirrors optimized for wind flow and active shut-ters behind the grille that close at speed to cut drag.

Equipped with the 3.6-litre and AWD, my tester was fit-ted out in ruby red metallic paint, machined 18-inch alloy wheels and wonderful biscuit-coloured leather.

There are several interior trim materials such as carbon fibre, aluminum and “sustainably sourced exotic woods”. The leathers are offered in a variety of tones and all, like the pan-els, are sewn with French stitching.

With the 3.6-litre, the ATS is deceptively fast. Here, the optional heads-up display was a plus not a hindrance, as a majority of twisty roads I used snake through cottage coun-try where the locals are not that vigilant but the police are.

Sight lines ahead and to the side were fine but the very high trunk lid made setting the outside mirrors correctly a must and the use of a backup camera a necessity.

This is a remarkably different kind of Cadillac and one that should help return the brand to the time when it billed itself as “the Standard of the World”.

Cadillac ATS is a serious sports sedan

The 2013 Cadillac ATS is a very serious attempt to produce a world-class sports sedan with a competent engine/suspension system and a choice of rear- or all-wheel-drive.

by Lorne DrurySpecial to Black Press

The Toyota Corolla is like the ‘Energizer bunny’— it just keeps

going and going.One of the best-selling cars

in Canada year after year, the Canadian-built Corolla is now in its 11th generation and still going strong after 40 years on the market.

In fact, Toyota Canada just released its latest sales figures to show that 2,371 Corollas were sold in December, and a total of 40,906 for all of 2012— an increase of 11.6 per cent over the year before and 43 per cent of all Toyota car sales for the year.

Not bad for a car with the current generation nearing the end of its shelf life and the 12th generation set to launch as a 2014 model.

So why still such strong sales numbers now for the Corolla?

What the Corolla offers in spades is affordability, reliability and fuel efficiency. And although there are a great many impressive new entries in the segment, the Corolla continues to satisfy thousands of dedicated followers in this country.

It starts at $15,450 for the base CE trim level that even offers a moonroof package ($2,960), which Toyota says is the lowest-priced car with a moonroof in the compact

segment.My tester was the above-men-

tioned CE with moonroof package and four-speed automatic trans-mission ($1,000) that priced out at $19,410 ($21,010.20 with all taxes and freight and PDI).

What you get for that price is a solid, reliable compact car that is no longer all that compact. In fact, it is fairly spacious inside although rear seat legroom is at a premium when the front seats are in their rearmost positions.

The ride is comfortable and the cabin quiet except under hard acceleration. Power to the front wheels comes from a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine that makes 132 hp and 128 lb/ft of torque. This provides decent acceleration, but not a terribly exciting driving experience.

All Corollas are offered with the choice of a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

The base CE has features such as tilt/telescoping steering col-umn, 60/40 split folding rear seat, outside temperature gauge, dual vanity mirrors, 12-volt accessory power outlet, dual power adjust-able/heated exterior mirrors and lots more.

Available option bundles include the Convenience Package that adds steering wheel audio con-trols, air conditioning, upgraded audio system with Bluetooth, and

power door locks with keyless entry. Move up to the Enhanced Convenience Package and you add heated front seats, power windows and cruise control. The Moonroof Package adds all these features plus the moonroof.

The Corolla S starts at $20,605 and offers more sporty features including a full skirt package, unique scuff plates, leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls, sport seats with special fabric, fog lamps and a rear spoiler. A Moonroof Package or Technology and Leather Package are available for

the Corolla S.At the top of the ladder is the

Corolla LE, starting at $21,170 that has 16-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, metallic dash accents, steering wheel controls, cruise control, keyless entry, power moonroof and fog lamps. In the dash is a 6.1-inch display screen for the new-for-this-year six-speaker audio system with Bluetooth.

Optional is an Upgrade Package with eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, automatic climate control, automatic headlamp sys-tem and smart key with pushbut-ton start.

Toyota Corolla: The ‘Energizer’ bunny for small cars

Now in its 11th generation and 40th year on the market, the 2013 Toyota Corol-la continues to sell in big numbers in Canada and remains a top-10 best-seller.

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is welcoming the new year with a slate of big events.

The first will take place on Feb. 6 at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre. The Legends of Housing event will include a panel of residential construction industry leaders including David Podmore of Concert Properties, Peeter Wesick of Wesgroup and Ward McAllister of Ledingham McAllister discussing where they think the housing industry is going and their experiences in the industry, followed by a question and answer session. The session will be moderated by urban design specialist Bob Ransford of Counterpoint Communications.

The GVHBA will also announce the finalists for the 2013 Ovation Awards at the event, which is also the first dinner meeting of the year. Tickets can be purchased on the GVHBA website until Feb. 4.

The next big event in the GVHBA calendar is the BC Home and Garden Show on Feb. 20 to 24. The association hosts the GVHBA Pro Renovation + Design Centre every year, showcasing before and after photos of professional renovations by member companies. You are also able to book a free consultation with a renovation or design professional. The event will take place at BC Place, with tickets available on the day or at www.bchomeandgardenshow.com. While you’re there, you can see photos of the finalists for the Ovation

Awards, and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award, which will be handed out for the first time this year. The ceremony will take place in April.

The show features more than 425 local experts in all aspects of home ownership, from renovation to organization, appearances by HGTV celebrities like Sarah Daniels of Urban Suburban and tons of tips for outdoor living and gardening.

The third big event of the next few months is the annual First-Time Home Buyer Seminar on March 19 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. The seminar is the largest of its kind in North America and is always popular. Admission is free, though pre-registration is required on the GVHBA website and attendees are asked to bring an item for the Surrey Food Bank.

“Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last year’s event.”

The seminar will cover a wide range of topics, including

finding the best home for you, how to choose a location, what’s involved when buying a home before it’s built and wading through the legal considerations that come with purchasing a home for the first time. Doors will open at 6 p.m. to allow participants to talk to the experts one-on-one, and the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m.

For more information about any of these events and to see a list of others, visit www.gvhba.org.

Watts to head region’s new transportation committee

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver’s board intends to shine a brighter spotlight on challenges like road congestion and the growing pains from port expansion this year.

A new transportation committee has been created that will be chaired by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts.

Although the regional district has no direct jurisdiction over transportation, Watts said the new committee is an appropriate place to examine issues that have impacts that go beyond the individual authority of TransLink, the provincial transportation ministry, fed-eral government or local cities.

“There isn’t one body that’s looking at the whole entire system,” Watts said. “With the amount of growth that’s going to take place, particularly South of the Fraser over the next few years, there has to be some critical think-ing in terms of traffic management and the movement of goods through the region.”

Most of the effort to brace the region for forecasted port growth has consisted of Ot-tawa and Victoria negotiating deals to jointly build major Asia Pacific Gateway infrastruc-ture, such as the South Fraser Perimeter Road and Roberts Bank rail corridor upgrades.

But Watts said more must be done to con-sider the impacts on locals, including the need for public transit, and to try to better align plans of different agencies.

More than 700,000 trucks cross the border each year and a further increase is expected as Port Metro Vancouver aims to further ex-

pand Deltaport, Watts said.“We’ve got to look at where are these trucks

going to go, how do they deliver goods throughout thre region and the province, and is the infrastructure in place to have that capacity?”

There’s no provision yet for more truck parking as part of the plan to expand the port, Watts said.

“Now we’ve got everybody parking on agri-cultural land. So if there’s an expansion at the port there’s got to be something put in place to accommodate truck traffic. And that’s not occurring.”

The transportation committee replaces Metro’s port cities committee, which was originally struck to represent cities in a dis-pute over port land taxation but has also ex-amined the expected increase in oil tanker traffic from the Kinder Morgan pipeline ex-pansion.

Watts expects it will continue to examine the tanker issue, among others, and seek to collaborate with railways, airports, trucking firms and other agencies influencing region-al transportation.

The province’s plan to replace the Massey Tunnel is another topic Watts expects will be tackled.

“What does that look like on the impact for the region?” she asked. “Are there better ways and better synergies and things we can work on collectively together?”

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, the committee’s vice-chair, said it won’t duplicate the work of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transpor-tation, which is part of the TransLink gover-nance structure but can only approve or re-ject significant tax hikes.

“With all due respect to TransLink, they’ve been scrambling around trying to put buses out there and not making any major analysis

of what we’ve got and what we need,” Jack-son said.

“TransLink hasn’t even begun to look at things like the Massey Tunnel. Why? Because it’s not their jurisdiction.”

Because Metro is charged with regulating regional growth, Jackson and Watts said the regional district has a vested interest in try-ing to ensure land use and transportation policies are well-coordinated and don’t work against each other.

Other committee members are Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan,

Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, Port Coquitlam Coun. Mike Forrest, Area A director Maria Harris, Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs, North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright.

Metro board chair Greg Moore, who created the new transportation committee, has also appointed mayors and councillors to serve on other Metro committees for 2013. Most of the appointments are unchanged from last year.

7 OBITUARIES

L.A.T. Moseley (“LATM”)

Lawrence Allen Thurlow Moseley died on January 13, 2013. He was at home, with his cherished wife of 56 years, looking out the window at the garden he loved. Born in Gillingham, Kent, England on February 28, 1933, he was educated at King’s School, Rochester. At age 16, Lawrence started fi ve years’ legal articles, for which his father paid 300 guineas. He passed the Final Examination in 1954 and was awarded Honours in later academic exams. He was admitted as a Solicitor on April 1, 1955. He served his U.K. National Service as Pilot Offi cer in the Royal Air Force. Lawrence married Kathleen (“Kay”) Daulman on April 2, 1956. After emigrating to Canada, Lawrence articled to Ivan B. Quinn, Q.C. of Bull Housser and was called to the B.C. Bar in 1958. Soon after, Lawrence and Kay moved from their West-End apartment to Richmond, where homes were more affordable. In 1961, Lawrence founded his own law practice, in what was then the tallest building in Richmond, consisting of two stories. Like most young sole practitioners, Lawrence specialized in “what walked in the door,” benefi ting from a close association with Richmond Savings Credit Union and a local bank. Lawrence was innovative in his legal thinking, practice management, and concern for his employees and their families. He practiced law in Richmond and Langley until his retirement.Lawrence and Kay built their dream home on the bluff on Marine Drive, White Rock in 1980. In 1995 they moved to Panorama Ridge, Surrey. At both properties, Lawrence exercised his keen sense of architectural and landscape design. Predeceased by his sister Doreen. Survived by his wife Kay, son Nick (Nance), daughter Sarah (Tomo), and beloved grandchildren Daniel, Gillian McLean (Jordan) and Alexander, brother Donald (Barbara) and his children, Michael, Corelia, Yolanda (Andy) and Irena (John), and nephew Timothy (Sabine). In lieu of fl owers, please send donations to the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation, OWL Rehabilitation Society, or the SPCA. Memorial service at 11am, Wednesday, January 23, 2013, at Victory Memorial Park, 14831 - 28 Avenue, Surrey, BC.Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
