Richmond News March 16 2016

The burgeoning waiting list for Englishlanguage classes in Richmond is

about to get even bigger — after a roundof federal government funding cuts.

Both the Immigration Services Societyof BC (ISSBC) and SUCCESS — whichrun the non-profit Language Instructionfor Newcomers to Canada (LINC) pro-grams — are in the process of figuringout how to deal with the reduction.

The programs are funded by thegovernment and free of charge to newresidents to the country.

ISSBC, which runs the LINC classesfrom its Alexandra Road and CedarbridgeWay offices in Richmond, told the Newsthe program is facing a nine per centfunding cut and will have to slice at leasttwo of its current 21 LINC classes.

The forced closure is expected toimpact the service, where the waiting listfor basic English classes already has 335people.

“We also received supplementarySyrian funding from IRCC (Immigration,Refugees and CitizenshipCanada); however, as theamount of supplementaryfunding received is limited,we are still facing close toa nine per cent cut,” DianaSmolic, ISSBC’s divisionmanager for the LINC pro-gram, said in an emailedresponse to the News.

“We already have longwaitlists for our LINCclasses in Richmond andby reducing the number of(classes being offered), weexpect longer waits for clients to accessLINC classes.”

Demand is highest in general, added

Smolic, for the service’s CLB (CanadianLanguage Benchmarks) 1-4 (basic)classes.

“At our Richmond site, we offer classesfrom CLB 1-6 and the current wait periodto start classes ranges from one month

up to a year, with the aver-age wait being three to sixmonths,” she said.

“The wait is often longerfor those clients who alsoneed to access our onsitechildminding services.”

In Surrey, where a largenumber of Syrian refugeesare settling, the wait list atSUCCESS English classescurrently sits at 1,300people. According to CBCNews, service providershave been told the federal

government is reducing funding

Two Richmond News report-ers have been nominated for

provincial writing awards.Philip Raphael is a finalist in

the Environmental Writing Awardcategory of the 2016 BCYCNAMa Murray Community Newspa-per Awards for his feature titledClosing the Net.

The story focused on the initia-tive of Steveston Harbour’s JoelBaziuk to recycle old fishing netsinto carpet tiles.

Raphael’s colleague, GraemeWood, has also been named afinalist at the awards, receivingrecognition in the Sports WritingAward category for The GraemeProject, where he teamed up witha local golf pro, Mark Strong, forthe entirety of the golf season in a

bid to transformfrom a fair-weather hackerto a player witha respectablehandicap.

“It’s fabulousto see our staffgetting kudosfor the hardwork they put in every singleweek. It’s also a testament tothe entire team at the RichmondNews,” said editor Eve Edmonds.

“The features in question couldnot be further apart in theirsubject matter, but both servethe reader well in terms of gettingpeople inside the heads of themain protagonists and are worthyof their nominations.

“Everyone at the News wishesthem both well when it comes tothe awards night itself later this

year.”The Ma Murray Awards are

an opportunity to recognize theachievements of the association’s

110 member newspa-pers in British Colum-bia and Yukon.

There are finalists ina total of 45 categories— ranging from ad de-sign and classifieds tophotography, editorialand general newspaperexcellence.

This year’s MaMurray Community

Newspaper Awards gala dinner isbeing held Saturday, May 7 at theRiver Rock Casino Resort.

Having always been a hero to his closefriends and family, retired mailman Ken

Brodie became a hero to his city when hehelped rescue two young women and a tod-dler from a vicious dog attack last December.

Now, Brodie has been recognized by aprestigious North Americanorganization for his heroic act.

The Carnegie Hero FundCommission has nominatedthe 73-year-old for a CarnegieMedal for intervening as a dogattacked twin sisters, 21, inSouth Arm Park on Dec. 29.

Brodie jumped a six-foot-highfence in his backyard, whichfaces Whiteside elementaryand South Arm Park, to pry aRottweiler-cross off one of thewomen, who was bitten more than 100 timesand sent to hospital in critical condition.Brodie’s hand was severely injured in theincident.

This week, the long-time Richmond resi-dent played down his nomination.

“I’m not worried about it. I’m just glad thewomen are OK. I’m sorry to see the dog putdown. I feel sorry for it,” said Brodie, whooften walks dogs in the neighbourhood to

lend a helping hand.Brodie, an avid community volunteer, said

he often gets stopped by people who thankhim for intervening.

“I don’t know if I risked my life or not,” hesaid.

“I did what I could. I did what I could and Ithought I have to help (in) some way. That’sabout it,” added Brodie, who was immedi-ately hailed as a hero by Richmond RCMP inthe aftermath of the attack.

Brodie said he still experi-ences some pain in his hand,nearly three months after theincident.

Established by industrial-ist and philanthropist AndrewCarnegie in 1904, the Carn-egie Hero Fund Commissionawards, on average, about 100people from the United Statesand Canada each year in rec-ognition of outstanding acts ofselfless heroism.

Jeff Dooley, the commission’s investiga-tions manager, said the charitable organiza-tion will first be speaking to Brodie to betterunderstand the incident. He said a decisionto award a medal could take months.

Awardees receive a financial grant in addi-tion to the medal.

Last year, Helen Goulet, of Courtenay, B.C.was awarded a medal for pulling a friend outof a house fire.

Agrowing number of agents who used towork for Richmond-based New Coast

Realty allege the company has not paid themcommission fees for residential real estatetransactions they completed months ago.

Some say they are owed tens of thousandsof dollars. A few say they are owed fees fordozens of deals or hundreds of thousands ofdollars. It typically takes a few days for suchpayments to process.

Last week, nearly 20 disgruntled formeragents of New Coast interrupted an afternoonparty at the company’s offices that had beenorganized to recruit new agents. They am-bushed management, demanding answers.

On Saturday, some of them planned toprotest at the Vancouver Convention Centrewhere New Coast was holding a black-tie,James Bond-themed, charity gala dubbed“License to Sell” for an expected 2,000guests.

In an email, New Coast managing brokerJosh Rosenberg said: “New Coast pays ouragents commission promptly and on parwithin our industry. Any disputes with thosecommissions would be due to an agentleaving to work with the competition. Due toconfidentiality, we cannot disclose our agentsspecific contracts, but I can certainly say thatwe pay fairly and that we are certainly not inthe business of shadow flipping.”

Their protests come as an independentadvisory group is investigating “shadowflipping”—the practice of selling a property

several times by reassigning sales contractsfor more money before the sale finally closesand the transaction is registered.

The investigation was started after thepublication of a Globe and Mail article inFebruary that cited former New Coast agentswho described tactics for securing blocks oflistings and assigning contracts a few times tomaximize profits.

One former managing broker of the compa-ny told the Globe: “They get Chinese (clients)who are ignorant of the market to buy theirhighend investments.”

New Coast Realty has grown quickly sinceit was started in 2012 by businessman Ze YuWu. It has offices in Burnaby, Richmond andVancouver, and its agents have also beenactive on the North Shore. The company

says it has more than 400 realtors and 2,357completed transactions in 2015.

“We don’t want to make trouble,” saidMorning Yu, formerly one of New Coast’s staragents who led a team of about 10 agentswhen she was at the company. “We just wantour money.”

Yu worked for New Coast for two yearsbefore leaving in mid-December and saysshe is owed fees for 37 completed deals, and20 pre-sale ones. Some closed while shestill worked for the company, others after herdeparture.

At New Coast’s gala in February 2015,which was held for 1,000 guests at FloataRestaurant in Chinatown, Yu was honouredas one of the company’s top performers.

“I left because it was not a good environ-

ment and I’m not comfortable at all with theway they practised business,” said Yu.

Another agent, Wendy Yang, who also leda team of agents before leaving the companyin February, estimates New Coast owes heraround $200,000 in commission fees.

Yu and Yang have since joined Richmond-based Metro Edge Realty. Another formerNew Coast agent, John Zhou, says he left thecompany in December and is owed around$45,000 in commission for seven deals com-pleted since then.

“Everything was in order. They had pro-cessed everything, but all that was lackingwas (New Coast owner) Mr. Wu’s signaturein order to clear my cheque. I was veryconfused. It’s been months now,” said ChrisChen, another former agent.

He alleges he has not been paid commis-sion for five completed deals.

New Coast has an unusual arrangementwhereby agents and the company split com-missions equally. In return for taking half thecommission, the company provides agentswith listings and its promotion services.

At most firms, agents drum up their ownlistings and keep most of the commission,though they might pay a brokerage some feesfor certain services.

The former agents are working with a lawyerand considering legal action.

“Due to privacy and confidentiality obliga-tions, New Coast cannot comment on thespecifics of its contractual agreements withformer agents,” said New Coast’s lawyer,Simon Coval, a partner at Fasken MartineauDuMoulin LLP.

The City of Richmond is faced withthree proposals from community

groups to upgrade its parks, including arenovated playground in Steveston, a newskateboard park under a bridge and abaseball quadraplex in South Arm Park.

Richmond City Baseball Association(RCBA) pitched its proposal to renovatethe fields behind Whiteside elementary ata recent Parks and Recreation Committeemeeting.

RCBA executive members John Braatenand Dan Marriott told councillors thatgrowth in the baseball program means thecity needs better fields and a more robustbaseball hub.

Their plan sees the association chippingin at least $20,000 to reformat the exist-ing baseball diamonds in South Arm Park,adjacent to Whiteside elementary, into aquadraplex at the centre of the fields, witha concession stand in the middle.

It is unclear how much the city wouldhave to pay to upgrade the facilities, ergoa feasibility study was ordered by council-lors, who also expressed concerns aboutparking and the need to consult withcommunity stakeholders, such as theRichmond School District and the Rich-mond Sports Council.

It is estimated by RCBA the field en-hancements would increase foot trafficand participation to the park by more than

14,000 people each year.Braaten and Marriot contended the

facility would get more young kids playingbaseball and noted the association hasgrown each year for the past three years.

Meanwhile, at the same meeting, coun-cillors heard from two students, ThomasLove and Dalton Taylor, who both rolledout their proposal for a new skateboardpark.

While the city has two existing skate-board parks on River Road and atThompson Community Centre — theycater to advanced skaters and also havedesign flaws, noted Love.

Furthermore, the one on River Road isdeteriorating and prone to slippery dew inthe fall and spring, rendering it unusable,or unsafe, for the most part.

The two have pitched the idea of install-ing a new park underneath either the No.2 Road Bridge or the replacement bridgefor the George Massey Tunnel.

“A well-designed, covered, lighted skatepark is good for families, the local com-munity and supports Richmond’s urbanvision,” wrote Love in a submission to thecommittee.

Another idea is to redevelop the RiverRoad skateboard park by adding new

features that will be friendlier to all agesand abilities and have “killer flow,” notedLove.

The presenters gave parks plannersa few local examples of well-designedskateboard parks in the region and sug-gested they read the Tony Hawk Foun-dation Public Skatepark DevelopmentGuide.

Parks planners stated they had con-sulted youth and the community when theThompson structure was built. The com-mittee directed staff to examine potentialsites and costs of a new skateboard parkin the city.

The city will also be busy deciding thefate of Steveston Park’s playground.

After area residents (the StevestonCommunity Society) lobbied the city toundergo public consultation for a newplayground, the city will now be holdingopen houses and online consultation atLetsTalkRichmond.ca.

The society will front $25,000 to matchthe city’s contribution to pay for the con-sultation, according to a report from theparks department.

“Information gathered during the March26 session will help form a number ofconcept options that will be presented tothe public for discussion and feedback,”the city noted.

The playground was last updated in2003 at a cost of $636,000 and it’s be-lieved a new playground would cost about$1 million.

The playground recently underwentsome minor renovations on the hillside.

MP: Funding 'still awork in progress'From page 1

based on landing numbers of immigrants and refugees in B.C.They were also informed that funding is being redistributed

proportionately, so other provinces where more newcomersare arriving, could see funding increases.

Steveston-Richmond East’s Liberal MP, Joe Peschisolido,told the News he wasn’t aware of any specific cuts to languageprograms in Richmond, citing the $335 million the govern-ment is spending over four years for refugee settlement.

“But if there are going to be specific cuts to programs, wewill try to help with that, particularly if they’re in Richmond,”said Peschisolido.

“There are always adjustments based on the needs (acrossthe country) and it’s still very much a work in progress.

“This is just the beginning of the process and it’s all veryearly. I would be more than happy to sit down with the organi-zations in question to see what I can do to help.”

Earlier this month, Peschisolido backed Immigration Minis-ter John McCallum’s tabling of a bill to repeal stricter languagerequirements for some immigrants, imposed by his Conserva-tive predecessor.

The new legislation is part of a package of several otherchanges to the Citizenship Act.

“You want to make it fair for the folks and fair for the com-munity where you have people coming in and (trying to speak)English,” Peschisolido said almost two weeks ago.

McCallum has proposed that age requirements for an “ade-quate knowledge” of one of the official languages be loosened.

Last year, under the Conservative government, Bill C-24expanded the age range for people required to take languageproficiency tests from 18-54 years of age to 14-64.

Peschisolido said the move would make it easier for familiesto unify. He noted under the Conservative changes his “nonnoand nonna,” who came from Italy, would have had a difficulttime settling in Canada.

Solar panels are expectedto provide one third of the

electricity demand at Rich-mond’s newest fire hall andswimming pool at MinoruPark.

The use of solar panelsare an example of the City ofRichmond inching forwardwith a plan to incorporatesolar energy technologyinto new infrastructure as itbecomes cheaper.

The $22-million Brig-house Firehall No. 1 and the$80-million Minoru Complexbuilding — which will housetwo 25-metre pools and anolder adults centre — arepresently under constructionand scheduled to open inspring 2017 and late 2017,respectively. The city hopesto achieve LEED Gold energyefficiency standards.

Details of the solar panelinstallations were revealed ina staff report to city counciltitled Solar Friendly Rich-mond Framework.

“The costs of solar PV(photovoltaic) modules has

decreased markedly, result-ing in a trend of reducedcosts for installing PV onbuildings,” noted the reportfrom the city’s director ofengineering, John Irving.

Presently, one of thebiggest obstacles to solarpanel use in B.C. is financialviability. Not only does thesolar industry lack economiesof scale, hydroelectricityis some of the cheapest inNorth America.

According to the report,installing a typical 5kW solarpanel system on a homewill cost $18,000, whereasa similar panel is one-thirdcheaper in a country suchas Germany, which hasachieved “grid parity,”meaning the investment isfinancially viable given thelower costs of panels andhigher energy costs (coal andnuclear).

Presently, for those withsolar panels, BC Hydro offersits net metering program,whereby excess energy issold back to the power grid.

Various business modelsfor residential installationsare being advanced, such ascompanies leasing or renting

panels to users and sharingin the savings.

The report noted the cityis looking at ways to encour-age solar panel installationson residential units, as doingso will be key to meeting itsgoal, set in 2014, of reduc-ing community (city-wide)greenhouse gas emissions 33per cent below 2007 levelsby 2020 (although the citystates this goal is subject tonecessary action by highergovernments).

The city may explorefacilitating a communitybulk purchasing programand “enhanced” permit andzoning bylaw provisions toincentivize solar panel instal-lations in the future.

As prices decline, the citywill be looking to increase itsown solar panel installations,noted Irving.

Coun. Harold Steves, avocal proponent of solarpanel use, said he objectsto the province’s decision toflood the Peace River Valley’sfarmland for the Site C Dambecause it wouldn’t be nec-essary, in part, if solar panelswere used widely acrossMetro Vancouver.

factors in the collision.Richmond resident Morgan Steel, who

works in the area, took photos of theincident. She commented to the RichmondNews that such incidents (cars driving intobuildings) appear to be happening morefrequently.

“It seems to be a pattern here in Rich-mond, the last little bit,” said Steel.

Last month a car drove into a café on No.3 Road.

Dear Editor,There has been much talk

about a bridge, a bridge thatno one wants except for thegovernment and the LNG pro-ponents.

The bridge is only being float-ed because LNG proponentswant to see the tunnel removedto allow for deeper water forthe LNG ships and this is afoolhardy move in my view.

Such large ships would bedetrimental to the Fraser Riverand its environment and to thepeople and communities alongits shores.

Can you imagine ships com-ing up the river and then hav-ing to turn around so that theycan return to the ocean?

A ship of this size wouldrequire tug support on both theincoming and outgoing tripsand would spawn a wake thatcould conceivably damage theprecious salmon habitat that I

and many other people workedhard to restore, at a cost ofseveral hundred thousand dol-lars — habitat that helps rearsalmon and other sea life thatpeople up and down this coastmake their living off of.

Steveston is a fishing com-munity and as such we shouldprotect it.

There is no one who woulddeny that we should protectits environment, as well as itsheritage, and so we must dothe utmost to ensure its protec-tion.

Recently, I had the opportu-nity to attend the open houseand hear all the carefullyscripted arguments of the con-sultants and view the carefullyselected and scripted wordsand imagery.

But there were no words andimagery that could convinceme that a bridge was needed.

Only words and imagery that

were spoken by those of LNGand the provincial government.

But, it is the words of thepeople of the province thatthe government should belistening to — from the PeaceRiver Valley, to the northernport of Prince Rupert and theQueen Charlotte Islands, theGreat Bear Rainforest and alldown the coast to the peopleof Steveston and Ladner andthose of the Gulf Islands andVancouver Island.

We all live along the shoresand in the areas where thegovernment and hydro wouldlike to build the damn dam,where the oil companies wantthe pipelines to flow and wherethe LNG companies want theirships to sail and we all matter.

The big issue and discussionhere is the cost of the bridgeand so I have a cost-effectivesolution.

The solution is to build a tun-

nel on either side of the exist-ing tunnel and when they arecomplete, remove the originaltunnel and replace it with afurther four more lanes.

You would then have an eightlane tunnel instead of a fourlane one and said traffic con-gestion would be alleviated.

The people are speakingloudly and the governmentshould be listening, for eachone of these people carry avote and come the next elec-tion they will use it to elect agovernment that will listen tothe people.

Prime Minister StephenHarper and the Conservativegovernment didn’t listen andlook what happened Canada-wide.

Dear Editor,Re: “City creates doo doo dilemma,”

Letters, March 4.There is no need to pay $30 a month

to dispose of dog waste. Go to MetroVancouver’s website (metrovancouver.org/services/solid-waste) and you’ll seethat dog waste can be removed fromits bag and flushed down the toilet.

Alternatively, if you have a yard, youcan install a composter to be usedexclusively for composting dog waste.Although, you should not add theresulting compost to the vegetablegarden, but rather use it on shrubs.

Dear Editor,Re: “Something’s in the air

— again,”Column, March 11,“Everything has a price, includ-ing killing ‘that’ smell,” News,March 11.

I was an attendee at this im-portant meeting. I was on timefor the start and listened to thelong presentation.

When the moderator wentover the list of by-productsproduced by this site, he statedthat “VOCs and C02” were themajor by-products.

VOC means “volatile organiccompounds” and CO2 is thatnasty greenhouse gas, carbondioxide.

Please look up “volatile.”

Just listen to the TV or radioor read any newspaper abouthow terrible too much C02 is.

Then it came to explainingjust who the experts in atten-dance were.

In terms of the questions Ihad, there was a missing link.

I asked if there was anyonefrom the health department.

Where were any City of Rich-mond representatives or citycouncillors? Answer: Silence.

Maybe they were out of theroom at the time, busy produc-ing methane.

When I could, I asked an-other question:

“Is there going to be a carbontax or a green tax on the CO2

produced by this site?”“No” was the definitive

answer.A lady at my table had the

best question of the eveningand that was about the dif-ference between the originalpermit (for emissions) that waspermitted and the one nowbeing considered and why Har-vest Power was not held to theoriginal permit numbers.

The answer was that MetroVancouver did not know wherethe parameters were to beginwith!

Someone or some party hasused an ocean of green paintto hide the truth.

Call it green enough times

and the cost doesn’t matter.There were several thought-

ful and intelligent alternativesfrom the audience, such as anincinerator with scrubbers anda high smoke stack to produceelectricity back into the gridto directly reduce our electricbills.

Another idea was to ask theuniversities to come up with asolution.

Hmmm. No wonder that willnot work.

Can someone please defini-tively say that this site does notproduce harmful by-products?

LETTERSto the Editor

It's not too late to stop bridge Weak contractsruling the day

Dear Editor,On Thursday last week I drove through

the Massey Tunnel six times.Six! First time, from Richmond to

Ladner to pick up a special needs friendand take her on errands in Vancouverand back home and later to pick her upagain for an evening at the theatre inVancouver.

In between, I went home to have din-ner with my husband.

It was not onerous. For all but one ofthose trips, ranging from 11 a.m. to 11p.m., I zipped right through the tunnel.

Only the 4 p.m. trip heading homewas backed up.

It seems to me a lot of time the tunnelis not “congested,” contrary to what thegovernment and Port Metro Vancouverhave been saying in order to sell theidea of a bridge.

It is common knowledge that you can’tbuild your way out of congestion.

But by building a bridge with long ap-proaches, cloverleafs and on/off ramps,that is exactly what they want to do.

Let’s look more closely at their plans.For starters, the bridge has to be very

tall. This is so Panamax supertankerscan get upriver in the near future whenthe Fraser River estuary is totally indus-trialized and all the salmon and birdsare gone.

Bridge plans indicate it will still be30 feet in the air (three storeys) atSteveston Highway. Ironwood wouldbecome a ghost town, a backwater with

bridge columns and abutments beingthe only view for the new condos at thecorner.

Guess where all the worker and busi-ness traffic from Ironwood and Horse-shoe Way will go?

Right up No. 5 Road, so they canaccess the bridge once it lands inRichmond, with on/off ramps locatedsomewhere around Francis Road, onceit has punched through farmland toHighway 99.

Secondly, they promise a transit lineand bike lanes on the bridge to appeasethe climate change crowd.

Very clever. “On the bridge” meansthis $3.5 billion project will build theamenities on the bridge but won’t payfor transit and bike lanes to be con-nected to anything.

That bill will come back to the taxpay-ers of Richmond and Delta.

And anyway, what was wrong with thefast bus idea? In 2008, extra bus laneswere built on Highway 99 on both sidesof the tunnel, but then bus service wascut.

Surely, using dedicated bus lanes, get-ting people into buses and giving themfree parking at King George Highway isa better solution to congestion than abridge that would only move congestionfurther north.

Finally, why are they not taking ac-tion to reduce congestion by movingcontainer truck traffic into the evening?Truck traffic takes up a lot of space on

Highway 99 and the tunnel.But if Deltaport were open 24/7, like

most other ports in the world, truckswould not always have to travel duringthe rush hours.

In fact, Deltaport is actually closed totrucks from midnight to 8 a.m. week-days and all day Sunday, so truckershave little choice but to drive along withthe daily commuters trying to get to andfrom work.

In my view, not enough has been doneto justify spending $3.5 billion of taxpay-ers’ money on a new Massey Bridge.

I can think of so many other betterways to spend that kind of dough! Howabout more affordable housing? Orexpanding the SkyTrain? Or more buseson the 99?

It is clear that in this case, the B.C.government is not interested in the littleguy.

They have been wooed into selling ourriver, our climate and our farmland andwe, the taxpayers, will not benefit in theend.

I believe we can stop the MasseyBridge before it’s too late.

If you care about Richmond’s futureyou can write to the prime minister [email protected] and cc yourlocal MP, urging the federal governmentto withhold infrastructure funds and toestablish a federal environmental reviewpanel to fully investigate this project.

Dear Editor,Re: “Something’s in the air — again,” Eve Edmonds

column, March 11 and “Replace lost business zoning,”Letters, March 11.

Your column was bold and absolutely correct. (I won-der if the bigger-than-expected volume Harvest Poweris complaining about increases their profit? I suspecttheir payment is per volume/weight and not a flat fee)

They think they have us over a barrel with cancella-tion leaving us high and dry and therefore expectingapproval of any of their conditions for questionableimprovement. (I hope the contract by Metro Vancouverwasn’t so weak and short-sighted and that they candemand results or loss of contract)

We are dealing with too many weakly issued contractsto developers asking (demanding) modified conditionsafter the development is underway or completed (eg.Steveston waterfront).

Regarding the above noted letter, if E. Simm wouldattend council rezoning or zoning amendment applica-tions, she would hear the developers admit that thereis a bigger profit from residential unit development thanfrom business units. (I have witnessed this conversa-tion when a bold councillor questioned a developer)

The developers show up with architectural plansalready designed and printed, deleting the zoning-required commercial units on the street level.

Unbelievably, their argument often convinces councilto approve the elimination of commercial premisescontrary to the city planners intent.

This then sets a precedent with total lack of closecommerce for the residents.

On April 5, 1917, the Provincial Elections Act was amended,and British Columbia became the fourth province in Canadato grant women over 21 who qualified as British subjects theright to vote in provincial elections and to stand for election toprovincial office.

However, 1917 did not see universal women’s suffrage.Women (and men) of Chinese, Japanese, South Asian,First Nations, Mennonite and Hutterite descent were still deniedthe right to vote in BC provincial elections. Thirty years later,in 1947, the franchise was extended to people of Chinese andSouth Asian descent, in 1948 to Mennonites and Hutterites,and in 1949 to those of Japanese descent and First Nations.Women (and men) of Doukhobor descent were disenfranchisedin 1931 and were the last to be extended the provincialfranchise in 1952. The right to vote for all women in Canadawas a 35 year journey.

In the years since 1917, women have become increasinglyinvolved in the political process. Today, 38% of the Membersof the Legislative Assembly of BC are women -- the highestproportion of women parliamentarians to ever sit in aCanadian legislature. This year also saw the election of thefirst Aboriginal woman, Melanie Marks, to the LegislativeAssembly, in a February 2, 2016 by-election. Since 1917,when women won the right to vote and run as candidates inprovincial elections, 102 women in BC have been elected tohold provincial office. British Columbia will celebrate100 years of women having the vote in 2017.

RETIREMENT. LIVING!

Apledge in 2014 by councillors KenJohnston and Chak Au to double com-

munity grants will have to wait yet anotheryear after Richmond city council approvedonly a small increase in the money goingto non-profit organizations.

Last year, council approved a new fund-ing formula that would see a near 70 percent increase in funds pouring into thecommunity grant pot, with new moneycoming from a 15-per-cent share of an-nual casino revenues.

However, because the guidelines fornon-profits to receive such money havenot changed, much of theextra funds will, instead,be diverted to a newreserve account, totalling$548,669.

It is expected that citystaff will soon table a rec-ommendation as to whatto do with the excessfunds.

“We have to wait andsee what staff recom-mend. This may includesome new projects andinitiatives,” said Au, whohas repeatedly ques-tioned the city’s apparent proclivity tocreate reserve accounts for various itemsthat he contends aren’t detailed in majorfinancial reports.

“Yes, I think the city has too manyreserve accounts and it is very confus-ing to the public… While I agree that wehave to save for the rainy days, the Cityhas been too conservative in its financialmanagement,” added Au, in an email tothe Richmond News.

In a report to council, staff noted the citysupports the grant recipients but “is not aprimary funder,” as that duty falls on thefederal and provincial governments.

This year, council approved about$837,000 in grants that went to com-munity events, childcare groups, arts andculture initiatives and social non-profit

organizations. The increase over 2015 isabout two per cent, in line with the cost ofliving increase.

About $304,000 was left off the table,as groups applied for more than what wasallocated.

Reasons given for not fulfilling all of theapplications ranged from lack of partner-ships, duplication of services provided bythe city and other funding partners havingnot been sought.

Richmond Addiction Services accountedfor the largest grant, receiving $209,068.

Last year, the Richmond Women’sResource Centre made a plea to coun-cil for more funding. This year, it onceagain asked for $55,000 but received$20,000—a $4,200 increase from 2015,a year in which the centre was forced to

close during the summer.The staff report noted

the centre’s request “can-not be accommodatedin the Health and SafetyGrant Budget withoutreducing funding to otherworthwhile programs.”

Au suggested newguidelines for fundingcould be coming.

“I would like to see whatstaff will recommend(including a new set ofguidelines) for the rest ofthe money we still have.

Personally, I still want to help smalleragencies which do not have a whole lot ofresources to raise funds. The homelessshelter at St. Albans Church is anotherproject I would like to help,” said Au.

Councillors have repeatedly stated theduty to fund such groups rests largely withthe provincial government and fully sup-porting their requests can be a slipperyslope.

Such an argument was recently implied,last week, when Chimo Community Ser-vices asked the general purposes commit-tee for $17,000 to fund a staff member forits Vacant House Project.

The request was denied, with committeechair Mayor Malcolm Brodie noting theprovincial government has downloadedtoo many costs onto the city.

...I think the city has toomany reserve accountsand it is very confusing tothe public.– Coun. Chak Au

Grants funding up,allocations steady

City's casino revenues slip

GRAEMEWOODStaff [email protected]

The City of Richmond didn’t exactly rollsnake eyes in 2015, but its share of

casino revenues took a slight hit followinga record year of payouts from the Prov-ince of B.C. in 2014.

In 2015, Richmond received $19.5 mil-lion from its 10 per cent share of net gam-bling revenue from the River Rock Casinoand Resort. This represents about a sevenper cent decline from 2014, when the citytook home $21 million.

A preliminary financial report to Rich-mond city council’s finance committeelast month revealed the totals. The reportnoted that the decline is likely a result ofthe BC Lottery Corporation introducingadditional conditions for certain VIP play-ers, including a requirement to demon-strate the source of funds to purchase

chips. Over the last 12 months, RiverRock’s overall revenues were negativelyaffected by those additional requirements,said the report, to the tune of approxi-mately $20 million.

The city presently budgets to receive$18 million annually from the casino, withexcess money going into a communityfacility replacement fund.

The large volumes of casino cash thecity receives prompted a new revenueallocation model beginning this year.Roughly one third of all revenue will go togeneral capital reserves and during thenext 10 years, the city will take $5 millionannually to pay off a loan used to buildthe new Minoru Complex.

Wanted: Wheelchair accessiblerental unit for $375 per month.

Sitting at the desk in my office atChimo, I hear a faint voice asking,‘Can someone help me?’

I head to the lobby where I see oneof our outreachworkers giving aman in a wheel-chair a glass ofwater. He looksunwell.

I take the out-reach worker asideand suggest wecall an ambulance.She informs me hewas just releasedfrom hospital.

Back in thelobby, I standcloser to the manwhile the outreachworker asks him if he’s okay. It’sat that point I realize I’ve seen himbefore.

I first met him early one eveningwhen he stopped by our centre toask if there were any cold weathershelters open. He was told that theseshelters were only open when theweather was -2 degrees, and theweather that particular evening was a

balmy 0 degrees.However, we told him there was a

regular shelter open in North Vancou-ver that had a bed — if he wanted totake transit to get there. He didn’t.Instead, he chose to stay in Richmondand sleep outside, again.

Apparently, if and when the manhad money, he would stay in a motel.When he didn’t have money, he wouldlive on the streets, sleeping in his

wheelchair.He would visit our

centre sometimesduring the day touse the wheelchair-accessible washroomor to get any food wemay have on handlike granola bars.

We have tried find-ing housing for thisman but so far havenot been successful.

The barriers areseveral, including thefact that income for

a single person on social assistanceis $610 per month with $375 desig-nated for housing.

I personally searched — there areno places in Metro Vancouver forrent at $375. In fact, the cheapestplace I could find was $450 and thatwas for a single bedroom — not anapartment, just a bedroom within anapartment. This man would requiresupportive care as well as wheelchair

accessibility.Having a place to live gives us many

things. It gives us warmth and safety,but it also gives us a place to call ourown, a place to belong.

In fact, where we live and how welive impacts almost all aspects in ourlives. Without a place to call home,our overall health (physical and men-tal) is severely impacted.

Homelessness also leaves its markon our economy, as many who wantto work can’t, because they havenowhere to live.

Here at Chimo, we work hard atfinding rental units for people who arehomeless. In fact, many of the peoplewe work with are women who are flee-ing abuse. These are typically, young,healthy and able-bodied people whoare looking to rebuild their lives andstart over. If we can’t find a homefor healthy and physically capablepeople, imagine the difficulty we’rehaving in finding a place for this oneolder, homeless man who lives in hiswheelchair.

Next time you’re out, take a momentto look around you, he lives on thestreets in Richmond.

Learn about heart failure to recognize early signs

Jewish communitycelebrates Purim

What do you know about heart failure? If you’re like mostpeople, not enough. In fact, it is believed that most

people who have heart failure are not even aware of it.It is estimated that 30 per cent of those who have heart

failure but are not aware of it will go on to develop full blownsymptoms requiring urgent medical care within the next threeyears.

The one-year mortality rate for patients diagnosed with heartfailure is 30 per cent. The risk is higher amongst those withthree or more other chronic health conditions (up to 50 per

cent) and higher still in the elderly (up to 61 per cent).But patients who are informed and engaged in self-manage-

ment in partnership with their family physicians have muchbetter outcomes — slower disease progression and fewerhospitalizations.

Your heart is a muscular organ that acts as a pump. Theright side of the heart receives blood returning from the bodythrough veins and pumps this oxygen-depleted blood to thelungs. Oxygen-rich blood then returns to the left side of theheart which delivers it to the rest of the body (including thebrain) through the arteries.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is due to the decline in thepumping ability of the heart. This results in shortness of breathwhen blood backs up into the lungs, edema (or fluid reten-tion), particularly in the legs and feet when blood backs up

into the extremities, and fatigue because less blood is gettingto the brain, muscles and organs.

The most common causes of heart failure are high bloodpressure and atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries). Be-cause the effects of these chronic conditions accumulate overtime, the onset of symptoms is often gradual, unrecognized ormistaken for normal aging or deconditioning.

Other causes for heart failure include irregular heartrhythms, smoking, obesity, thyroid disease and excessivealcohol. Less common causes include disease of the heartmuscle following viral infections, as side effects of medications(including some types of chemotherapy) or due to metabolicconditions such as hemochromatosis (iron overload).

In addition to the symptoms of fatigue, fluid retention andshortness of breath, another classical symptom is shortness ofbreath when lying flat. In patients with worsening heart failure,blood fills the lungs unless they are sitting upright.

Several classes of medications have been shown to improveboth the survival and quality of life in heart failure. Theseinclude beta blockers and ACE inhibitors. The condition re-quires close medical follow-up and regular monitoring.

Individuals with heart failure can maintain their health withdiligent self-care and lifestyle management, monitoring theirweight to pick up on fluid retention that may indicate a suddenworsening of their condition. They can also limit salt, alcoholand fluid intake, and maintain regular appropriate exercise.

To learn more about about heart disease, come to my nextfree public lecture on behalf of the Burnaby Division of FamilyPractice’s Empowering Patients series. You’ll learn if you areat increased risk, practical tips to reduce your risks and howto maintain your best health in spite of heart disease. I’ll bespeaking on March 30 at 7 p.m. at the Alan Emmott Centre at6650 Southoaks Crescent in South Burnaby. Register onlinewith [email protected] or call Leona at (604) 259-4450.

Is the annual celebration ofPurim the “Jewish” Hallow-

een? Jews do wear costumes,but this is where the similarityends!

Instead of going door-to-door asking for candy, Jewsgather as a community (incostume!) to read the biblicalbook of Esther and then par-ticipate in acts of giving.

The Book of Esther is a fic-tional melodrama played outin ancient Persia. An absent-minded king takes Esther ashis queen not knowing sheis Jewish. He then, on theadvice of his chief counsellor,Haman, agrees to destroy allthe Jews in the kingdom.

At the last moment, Estherreveals her true self to theKing, who reverses hisdecree and instead destroysHaman and his entire family.

The strange and crazyevents of this tale are thepretext for the Jewish holidayof Purim — celebrated fromthe evening of March 23 tothe evening of March 24this year. Traditionally, Jewsdress as one of the charac-

ters in the book. During thereading, each time the nameof the villainess Haman ismentioned noisemakers aresounded. The reading isoften accompanied with sing-ing, costume parades, andthe occasional libation.

The Book of Esthermakes reference to matanotL’evyonim (gifts to the poor)and Mishloach Manot (thesharing of gifts with oneanother). Both activities playa central role in the celebra-tion. Synagogues take theopportunity on Purim to raisefunds for those in need, andcongregants are encouragedto send small gifts of Purimfood to one another in anexchange of kindness.

Sometimes, the best way todeal with crisis is with laugh-ter. Rabbi Nina Beth Cardinsays, “Despite the laughterand the joy of the Purim cel-ebration, we hope and praythere will be no new Purimsfor the Jewish people.”

Rabbi Howard Siegel ispart of the Beth Tikvahcongregation.

Party planning shouldWith warmer weather,

thoughts turn tosummer barbecues

and house parties on the deck.As with any great party,planning is key. In additionto the right food and decor,thought must be given tothe myriad of legal issuesthat may arise, particularly ifalcohol is being served.The idea that a host maybe liable for what happensto guests after they leave theparty, is covered under theprinciple of “Social HostLiability.”Like other forms ofnegligence or tort law, it dealswith whether there has beena failure to meet the “dutyof care” owed to one personby another.In the context of social hostliability, the most common

scenario involves the servingof alcohol, and what happensto inebriated guests afterleaving the function.In Childs v.Desormeaux 2006 SCC 18,the hosts held a “BYOB”party. During the course ofthe evening, a party-goer(a known heavy-drinker)consumed 12 beers in thespan of 2.5 hours.The guest appeared “okay”when leaving the party,but subsequently got intoa head-on collision severalkilometers down the road.The passenger in the othervehicle was killed, and hisown passenger was rendered aquadriplegic.A lawsuit was brought bythe injured passenger againstboth the drunk driver and theparty hosts.

Ultimately, the court foundthe hosts were not liable.In its reasons, the courtfocused on the fact that theguest had not appeared visiblydrunk, and that as the hostsdid not supply the bulk of thealcohol, they were unable tomonitor how much each guestdrank.The outcome may havebeen very different if the hosthad supplied the alcohol, andwas thereby capable ofmonitoring consumption, or ifthere were clear signs that theguest was intoxicated.In Prevost v. Vetter [2001]BCJ No. 495, the hostallowed a visibly intoxicatedguest to drive home alongwith her passenger, who wasalso drunk.

include legal liabilityThe car ran off the roadwhen the driver lost controlof the car. The passengerbrought suit against boththe host and the driver forinjuries. The driver wasfound to be liable to herpassengers, and the hostwas found to be liable to thedriver, on account of havingallowed her to leave the partyintoxicated.Interestingly, the court didnot extend the host’s liabilityto the passenger, deemingthat to be too remote.However, not every bad thingthat befalls a drunken guestcan be blamed on the host.In Desanti v. Gray, 2011ABCA 226, the host’steenage son held a party inthe basement, while the host

parents remained elsewherein the house. An inebriatedguest left the party, but gotinto a ^st ^ght a block away,which resulted in injuries toone of the guests from theparty.The Alberta Court ofAppeal found that it wasnot reasonably foreseeableto the social host, that aguest would be involved inan incident off-site, whichresulted in injuries. To^nd the host liable wouldunreasonably extend thescope of social host liability.While the determinationof liability is heavily fact-dependent, the prudent coursewould be to simply planahead to ensure that everyonehas a safe and sober ridehome.

Alternately, getting a spareroom ready for impromptuovernight guest, may also beincluded as part of good partyplanning.

is a two-way street for bothperformers and their audi-ence to enjoy in ways thatare unique and fulfilling.

That’s one of the reasonswhy the Minoru Opera series,which is making its returnfor another spring season, istraditionally a hot ticket.

Charles Barber, artisticdirector for City Opera, oneof three companies thatwill perform in the intimateconfines of Minoru Chapelon three dates from April toJune, said he is very pleasedto be back for a sixth year ina row.

Part of that has to do withthe immediate feedback hissingers experience.

“It’s wonderful for a singerto be able to see individu-ally all the shining eyes in

the house. It makes all thedifference in the world,”he said, adding the com-munication is so direct, realand personal when perform-ing for around 100 peoplepacked in a small space thatit offers a nice change for hiscompany’s singers who areused to bigger venues andaudiences.

“They love going therebecause there is an intimacyof discourse, an intimacyof expression that you onlyfind in a place like MinoruChapel, or when you sing alullaby to your child. It’s thatup close.”

On the other side, it’s aunique opportunity for theaudience to enjoy being up

close and personal with thesingers.

The series at MinoruChapel kicks off April 6when Opera di Concertistipresents Aïda. Barber’s CityOpera performs on May 4with Great Arias and Duetsfor Soprano and Baritone.And on June 1 the series willconclude with Opera Opu-lenza presenting the story ofCavalleria Rusticana.

Performances for all showsare at 2 and 7 p.m. Seatingis limited and tickets canbe purchased at the dooror, as recommended, inadvance by calling 604-276-4300. Admission is $20 foradults, $18 for students andseniors.

Opera performed in an intimate space

When I have the time, I love to cook and although Ialready have hundreds of cookbooks on my shelf at

home (no, seriously!), I continue to be attracted to newcookbooks and new recipes to try.

Most recently, I had the delicious pleasure of borrow-ing 1001 Recipes You’ve Always Wanted to Cook, editedby Heather Brown. This book actually contained 1,001recipes I’ve always wanted to cook!

A feature I like when I am using a new recipe is havinga photo of the finished product. I like to know what thedish is supposed to look like, mainly so I can tell whetherthings are going well or not! This book has great colourphotos of many of the dishes, which add to their mouth-watering goodness.

Another attractive feature of the recipes is their multi-unit measurements. Each recipe offers you measure-ments in imperial (pounds, ounces, cups, pints), andmetric (grams, millilitres).

I jumped right into this easy-to-use book and hadsuch success with the recipes (broccoli and goat cheesesoup, green beans and almonds, chicken enchiladas….)that I bought the book!

This book is enhanced by its versatility and thriftiness.You won’t need to spend a fortune to try these creations.The ingredients are not too out of the ordinary andchances are you have most of them in your pantry, readyto be turned into a great new dish to impress your familyand friends!

It might take a few episodesin TV or an hour in film

to empathize with a leadcharacter. Actor France Per-ras demands it immediatelyin Jennifer Tremblay’s playThe List by taking us into thesoul of a woman punishedby guilt.

On now at Gateway The-atre’s Studio B, The List isa powerful one-woman playblanketed in loneliness andregret, and served as anace.

The hour-long play

begins once the audience— queued in the lobby —begins to enter the quietstudio. It’s dark save forthe light on the namelesswoman played by Perras.She wastes no time to layit on us: “Her death is myfault.” This is a woman whokeeps a tight list. It’s detailedand she sticks to it. But oneimportant entry — a favourto her friend and neighbour— she never managed tocross off. It became a “float-ing task,” one that moved

from list to list and ultimatelybecame a broken promisethat leads to tragedy.

We’re given the woman’sstory of how she movedto the country with herhusband and children, inpart to rejuvenate a troubledmarriage. Instead, thewoman finds isolation in thisnew rural life and her listsbecome an obsession.

Perras delivers the storywhile sitting on a chair sur-rounded by hanging house-hold objects. With only a fewstudio lights to complementthe scene, the actor is leftto paint us pictures of awindswept landscape and awindswept mind. She does it

well. As the woman searchesfor answers in this barekitchen, the hanging objects— although difficult to seeon the dark stage — remindus we’re travelling throughher memories.

The List is an hour ofpower written in a uniqueform of fragmented storytell-ing. It begins and ends qui-etly, leaving us to ponder themoments in this woman’slife that are uncomfortablyfamiliar — and re-examineour own crowded lists.

The List runs at GatewayTheatre’s Studio B untilMarch 19. Tickets, $20 to$35, at gatewaytheatre.comor 604-270-1812.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Mark BoothSports [email protected]

Sharks edged in epic BC AAA final

Two months ago Nigel Boydwas savouring the first tour-

nament win of his life at the BobCarkner Classic. On Saturdaynight, the Grade 12 standout wascrying uncontrollably on the floor ofthe Langley Events Centre after aheartbreaking loss in the provincialchampionship game.Such is the remarkable progress

of the Steveston-London Sharks.They looked like anything but a

senior boys basketball team mak-ing its provincial debut, survivingthree taxing games then going toe-to-toe with top ranked SouthridgeStorm in an epic AAA final. TheSouth Surrey school pulled out a78-71 win, handing the Sharkstheir first loss since late January, astretch of 14 games.Along the way, they captured

the Richmond and Lower Main-land titles for the first time in theschool’s brief history and willcertainly be back for more nextseason with four Grade 11s in thestarting line-up.

“We are all a bunch of rook-ies who have never been to theprovincials before,” said Sharkshead coach Mike Stoneburgh. “It’sa testament of what this programhas built and what we have rightnow. The sky is the limit and it’snot like next year will be it either.“It was such a tough game to

lose but being so young we knowwe can come back. I hope this sitswith our Grade 11s. Come nextNovember and the new season, Iam scared for the first team thathas to play us.”

Under the same breath, Stone-burgh was heartbroken for Boydand the handful of Grade 12s onhis team.Boyd showed why he was the

city MVP this season with two su-perb performances in quarter-and-semi-final wins over Robert Bate-man and Rick Hansen respectively.It would result in being named asecond team provincial all-star.“I honestly don’t know how

I am going to say goodbye tohim,” Stoneburgh reflected. “I justhugged him (after the game) andtold him he will be playing (at thecollege level) next year. He hasnever been to this tournamentbefore but he put this team onhis back and showed why he is aleader and a phenomenal player.”It was a Boyd three-pointer that

capped an 11-0 run and gaveSteveston-London a 69-67 leadwith under four minutes remaining.Igniting the outburst was the spec-tacular play of 6-foot-9 FardawsAimaq who scored on four straightpossessions from in the post, onhis way to 40 points and an amaz-ing 32 rebounds. The Grade 11star was later named player-of-the-game and a first team all-star.However, eventual tournament

MVP Hunter Hughes answeredwith a three to give the Storm thelead back for good. Southridgeadded another trey to push the ad-vantage to four points. A basket byAimaq made it 73-71 with 47 sec-onds left but the Sharks couldn’tcome up with the rebound on the

Storm’s next possession and hadto foul. Four points from the freethrow line sealed the outcome.The Sharks never found their

range from the perimeter to com-pliment Aimaq’s brilliance inside.They finished the night going just3-22 from beyond the arc.“We just didn’t hit any threes and

that was the big one,” admittedStoneburgh. “We just needed a

couple but didn’t shoot well. Wetried going high low too becauseit was there and made some badmistakes. But that’s what can hap-pen when you are a young team.”The game was a sharp contrast

from when the teams met back inthe opening round of the TsumuraInvitational in early December andthe Storm rolled to a decisive 76-49 victory.

Again, another indication ofthe major strides the Steveston-London program has made thisseason but don’t try to convinceAimaq.He walked off the court in tears

after picking up his fifth foul in thedying seconds and actually triedblaming himself for the loss.In truth, his play was the talk

of the championships. He alsorecorded 31 boards, to go alongwith 30 points, in the semi-final winover Hansen and set a tournamentrecord for rebounding.“This kid is showing he is one

of the best post players to comeout of BC,” said Stoneburgh. Forhim to be (so emotional) just tellsyou what type of person he is. It’sscary to think he is in Grade 11and what he is going to do nextseason.”The championship game capped

what is always an emotional timeof year for Stoneburgh.He was in tears following Friday’s

semi-final win. It was 11 years tothe day he suddenly lost his fatherto a heart attack at the age of 51.“I usually don’t like to do much

on (March 11),” he explained. “Hewas there for every one of mysporting games and drove me toeverything. He was my best friend.“I’m a mama’s boy too and she

has been there for me throughthick and thin. When she was inhospital around Christmas, theboys stepped up and were therefor me in my hardest (times). Wehave had a hell of a season.”

a dramatic 19-17 victory over France.It seemed the hosts would fall just

short of a win when France had pos-session with time up and a 17-12lead. But up stepped John Moonlightwith a powerful finish before Hirayamaslotted the crucial two points thatcompleted the comeback.Earlier, he scored a spectacular try

to the thrill of Canadian fans.“This has been great. It’s been

something we’ve been lookingforward to since it was announced,”said the 27-year-old McRobertsgraduate. “We were really up for theweekend and while we were disap-pointed not to be playing for the cup,we came out and won three gamestoday.”Canada began Bowl play Sunday

morning with 19-0 win over Brazil,then secured a spot in the final with a17-7 win against England. Tries fromMike Fuailefau and Hirayama in thesecond half broke a 7-7 deadlock.In pool play Saturday, Canada

opened 26-19 loss to Wales, thenupset Australia 14-12. Hirayamascored the opening try of the matchand kicked the winning points after alate try from Adam Zaruba.Canada then defeated Russia 26-

12 but lost out on a tiebreaker for aspot in the eight-team championshipdraw.New Zealand defeated South Africa

19-14 in the Cup final. The two-dayevent attracted over 60,000 fans.“I can’t criticize our performances.

We were very consistent. You winfive of your six games in any WorldSeries tournament it’s an exceptionalachievement,” said Canadian headcoach Liam Middleton. “They’veshown great character and ability thisweekend.“What a phenomenal tournament.

Tournament’s are made by specta-tors and this is the best crowd we’veever seen on the World Series. Thishas been the best tournament in theseries so far.”The World Series continues next

It is with sadness that we announce the suddenand tragic passing of our beloved brother RickeyTerrance Davis on March 01, 2016. He passed intothe arms of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, andinto the loving arms of his parents Terry andThelma.
