The Richmond campus ofKwantlen Polytechnic University ishoping to help grow its enrolmentnumbers by having a place for stu-dents to live close to the school.

And part of that increase is antici-pated to come from overseas.

Jeff Norris, KPU’s chief advance-ment officer, told the RichmondNews the establishment of a new,$36-million design school — sched-uled to open in July 2015 — is oneaspect driving the need for adjacenthousing.

“Having that building and thatparticular program in there as anational and international destinationis one of the factors,” said Norris fol-lowing a presentation to the City ofRichmond’s general purposes com-mittee earlier this week.

“What we are envisioning for

our student housing is that it will besomething for those outside of theLower Mainland,” Norris said, add-ing it will also be an option for the1,200 to 1,400 international students— about 10 per cent of the school’soverall enrolment — who come toKPU on a yearly basis.

Still in the planing stages, thehousing project is expected to pro-vide room for about 600 students.

But just where it might be situatedhas yet to be decided.

“Our preference is to have itlocated as close to the campus aspossible, if not on the campus itself,”Norris said. “But we are limited tothe 10 acres (at the Lansdowne Roadlocation). It could fit there, if it madesense, but that would hamper futuregrowth.”

And that growth is anticipated tobe quite significant.

“We’re targeting five per centgrowth annually for the next five

years. And when you start to com-pound that, we’re really looking todouble our institutional initiativesover the next 10 years,” Norris said.

Moreover, that growth is expectedto be fueled by an increase in inter-national students who pay a premium— about four times more in tuition

— to attend school here.According to KPU’s website,

students who are Canadian citizensor permanent residents pay between$126 to $194 per credit for tuition.Student fees — listed as paying forlibraries, technology and student life

Meets growing demand of international students and those outside Lower Mainland

Pedestrians reminded to make safe crossingsPHILIP RAPHAEL/RICHMOND NEWS

With the weather changing and theevenings growing dark earlier, now is notthe time for pedestrians to fall back into bad,and unsafe habits when crossing streets.

That was the message a group ofRichmond RCMP volunteers were impress-ing upon commuters early Wednesday morn-ing as they streamed across the pedestriancrossing adjacent to the Canada Line’s

Brighouse station on No.3 Road.

The volunteers werehanding out reflectivearmbands and a safety tipsheet, as this is the timeof the year when there is

a spike in pedestrian-related incidents.“In Richmond, from October to

December there is an average of 45 pedes-trians injured,” said Joanne Bergman, a roadsafety coordinator with ICBC watching thewaves of heavy foot traffic passing in andout of the SkyTrain station.

“People are in a hurry and they forget,”Bergman said, adding some tips to remem-ber is to make eye contact with drivers whencrossing the street, and to wear bright cloth-ing.

— also range from $8.82 to $13.62 percredit. International students pay a flat $500per credit for tuition, and $20 per credit forstudent fees.

That difference accounts, in part, for thelack of a government subsidy for educa-tion which only domestic studentsare granted. However, even with thegovernment subsidy, the institutionreceives about twice as much frominternational students than fromdomestic students.

Norris said the province’s contribu-tion amounts to roughly 40 per centof the total tuition cost, with the student alsopaying 40 per cent, and outside fundraisingby the school taking up the remaining 20 percent.

The $500 per credit for internationalstudents also provides for some additionalservices specific to those from outside thecountry, including co-ordination of homestays, Norris said.

Still, there is a profit to be made from thatsegment of the school’s population.

While it is difficult to determine exactlyhow much is made in Kwantlen’s case — dueto ranging program fees — Norris said thatoverall in B.C., international student fees

accounted for $1.8 billion in tuition for post-secondary institutions.

In most cases that money is used to helpprovide additional classroom seats for domes-tic students, said Norris. “For every 10 to 11international students that allows for an entireclass of domestic students, over and abovethe government subsidy.”

But drawing international stu-dents is not an avenue Kwantlenis pursuing solely for the greatereconomic return it can bring,Norris noted.

“We really talk about havingglobal citizens, or international-

izing the curriculum,” he said. “It’s reallyimportant to have a strong mix that reflectsthe world right now.”

Topping the list of countries sending stu-dents to Kwantlen is China, next is India. andin third place is Saudi Arabia. The majorityfrom overseas enrol in business courses.

Also helping spur the growth of enrol-ment locally is Kwantlen’s application to theprovincial government to start up a school fortraditional Chinese medicine.

“We would love to be able to offer it, butare still awaiting approvals from the provinceas to which institution they would like tohave offering that program,” Norris said.

School: Extends global outlook

Obeying the signals at the Brighouse sta-tion crosswalk seemed to be a hard one forpedestrians to follow Wednesday morning asmany crossed against the lights.

The fine for crossing improperly is $109— a hefty hit to the pocketbook for a remind-er of rules many people learned when theywere young, said Sgt. Robert Quilley of theRichmond RCMP’s traffic section.

At one point, a pedestrian who readilyaccepted the reflective armband and tip sheetproceeded to walk across the street withoutany regard for the “don’t walk” signal.

And another commuter who Quilley tookaside and informed them they had just jay-walked turned a multitude of red hues whenschooled about the importance of propercrosswalk use.

Tuesday’s announcement that theSteveston secondary school site had finallybeen sold for just over $41 million will actlike a bargaining chip for the establishmentof some new, local schools.

That’s according to Richmond Board ofEducation chair Donna Sargent who said shewas “ecstatic” the sale to Polygon PacificHomes Limited had finally been completedsix years after the site on No. 2 Road hadbeen closed and a replacement school— Steveston-London — had taken its placein 2007.

Sargent said the district is limited to usingthe proceeds of the sale — $41,125,000 forthe 13-acre parcel, of which eight acres weresold and five acres were allocated to the cityfor park use — strictly for capital projects.

Two items topping the district’s five-yearcapital plan that was just submitted to theMinistry of Education include new elemen-tary schools for the city centre and Hamiltonarea on the eastern end of Lulu Island.

Densification of the city’s core and anexpected doubling of enrolment in Hamiltonare driving the need for new schools.

Sargent said that while the province is stillresponsible for providing funding for newschools, there is an increasing trend for dis-tricts to “bring something to the table” whendiscussions start.

“There seems to be a real shift,” Sargentsaid, adding, “We’ll still be advocating forthe ministry to provide for the facility that weneed.”

The Steveston school sale does representa lot of money, “but it will not pay for all theneeds that we have,” Sargent said.

“It’s very exciting that we could put

together the agreement. Now we have fundsfor the school district.”

But more than just the infusion of funds iswhat the sale means for the community.

“It was a piece of land that people eitherwalked or drove by every day, and it hadbecome so dilapidated,” Sargent said. “That’snot really the memory of what happened inthat school for 50 years.”

Trustees primed tomeet Education Minister

Soccer players try and get a favourableresult over the course of a 90-minute match.

And that’s exactly how long Richmond’sschool trustees will be given to score somepoints with B.C.’s Minister of Educationwhen he comes to town Friday to meet themface to face as part of his province-widesweep of school districts.

The opportunity is to have Peter

Fassbender come away with an understandingof the challenges to deliver education underthe constraints of the ministry’s budget, saidlocal school board chair Donna Sargent, add-ing there are three main points trustees wantto stress.

“Basically, it’s keeping education a pri-ority, as far as funding, by ensuring publiceducation receives increased, stable andconsistent funding, re-instating a capital planfor facilities, and providing support for newinitiatives in education,” Sargent said.

Another topic on the agenda is co-gover-nance, which is topical given the province’srecently negotiated agreement with union-ized, non-teaching and support staff for a 3.5per cent wage increase over two years.

The agreement, arrived at without theinput of trustees through the B.C. PublicSchool Employers’ Association, downloaded

A 21-year-old man has been charged with armed robberyafter allegedly stealing cologne from a drug store.

Travis Heath is alleged to have pulled out a handgun in thestore and threatened the staff in the 9100 block of BlundellRoad after they confronted him about taking the cologne.

According to police, Heath then fled the store on a bicy-cle. Police saw him and after a brief foot chase he was takeninto custody.

A black replica handgun was seized from Heath and thestolen goods were located.

Heath is known to police and has two outstanding warrantson top of the charges for this incident. He has been chargedwith one count of robbery and one count of using an imita-tion firearm.

Heath is set to appear next in court on Oct. 29 inRichmond.

Charges laid in fatal crashThe driver of a car involved in a fatal crash that killed two

young brothers has been charged with causing their deaths.Ryan Jeffrey Webster, aged 20 at the time, was behind

the wheel of a BMW whenit spun off the road nearSteveston Highway and No.4 Road and hit a tree in May2012.

Webster sustained minorinjuries, while his two pas-sengers that fateful night— Shane and Jess Moses, age19 and 16 — died instantly.

On Monday morning,Richmond RCMP announcedthat, after an extensive inves-tigation, Webster has nowbeen charged with two countsof impaired driving causingdeath and two counts of operating a motor vehicle with ablood alcohol level over 0.8 causing death.

Webster had a class 7 driver’s license at the time. He is setto appear in court Nov. 28.

In the days following the tragedy, tributes poured in on aFacebook page for the two young brothers and many studentsat the brothers’ school, McNair secondary, wore black out ofrespect for their popular friends.

Public asked to help find missingteenager

The public is being asked to help trackdown a missing 17-year-old.

Richmond RCMP are on the lookout forDylan Glover, who was last heard from onOct. 13.

Glover may be in the DowntownEastside of Vancouver, police believe, and“engaging in at-risk activities.”

Anyone with information as to hiswhereabouts is asked to contact Richmond

RCMP at 604-278-1212 or call CrimeStoppers anonymouslyat 1-800-222-8477.

the cost on school districts across B.C.under the province’s cooperative gainsmandate, rather than being funded bythe government.

That meant with no new funding,savings in the district have to be foundto fund the raise.

In Richmond that is expected tocost $703,992 in the first year of theagreement and will be covered by dip-ping into the district’s modest $6.1 mil-lion operating surplus.

But job cuts are expected to fundthe $1.34 million needed in year two.

Faced with that imposed settle-

ment, Sargent said she and her fellowtrustees want to remind Fassbenderthat the ministry and BCSTA (BritishColumbia School Trustees Association)had previously signed a protocol agree-ment to be co-governors of the publiceducation system.

“We just want to bring that forwardagain and talk about what co-gover-nance means,” Sargent said, addingthat as part of the partnership long-term planning should be at the fore-front to avoid situations where schooldistricts that are not represented at thenegotiating table are then required tofund agreements they have no say in.

Sargent added there is also a needfor more consultation and feedback.

“We want two-way communica-tion rather than being told, ‘here’s theinformation, this is what will be hap-pening.’”

Sargent also called for trusteegroups around B.C. to be present atthe bargaining table for future negotia-tions.

“As really the only employer ofthese employees, we need to be bar-gaining with them. So, it’s not just amatter of consulting with us, we arepart of it.”

EDITORIAL OPINION

We have previously criticized the federal government forits heavy-handed approach in controlling what is saidto media by scientists working for Canada.

The results of a poll by Environics Research Group publishedMonday make clear the problem is both worse and more wide-spread than we had imagined.

The online survey was commissioned by the ProfessionalInstitute of the Public Service of Canada and took place in June.Four thousand scientists took part — about 26 per cent of thegovernment’s scientific workers — and the results are said toaccurately reflect the opinions of all government scientists within1.6 percentage points 19 times out of 20.

The poll’s response size convincingly establishes that this pollis not of the “hamburger” variety and merits serious consider-ation. The startling — and depressing — results show that morethan 70 per cent of the respondents believe the government is notusing the best scientific evidence to develop laws and policies.

Worse: Almost 25 per cent said they had been asked to alteror exclude scientific information in federal documents. Sixty-seven per cent of DFO scientists and 59 per cent of EnvironmentCanada scientists said they knew of cases where their depart-ment had suppressed information, leaving the public with mis-leading or inaccurate information.

Eighty-eight per cent of respondents supported improvedwhistleblower protection to better serve the public. That ideamakes sense scientifically, statistically and ethically.

Unfortunately, that would seem like three reasons for theConservatives not to consider such legislation.

Today, I’m raising aglass to the greatest sales-men of all time — the oneswho sold the Eiffel Tower,the Brooklyn Bridge andvarious other landmarks.

A good salesman cansell you something you needor want. A great salesmanwill sell you something youdidn’t know you needed.

A con man will sellyou something you don’tneed, don’t want, and whichhe doesn’t own. By the1930s, the idea of sellingthe Brooklyn Bridge hadbecome a cliché. But in thelate 1800s, it was a veryreal full-time business forhalf a dozen tricksters.

A swindler named ReedC. Waddell would prop upa sign reading “Bridge forsale,” and would be openfor business. He’d take any-where from $250 to $1,000— not a bad day’s pay then.

The bridge sellers’ tar-gets were new immigrants,those so enraptured by theAmerican dream that theyimagined anyone could buya famous public landmark.By the 1920s, Ellis Islandwas handing out pamphletswarning that streets, bridg-es, and other public objectswere not for sale.

In Europe, the scamwas reversed. The Czechcon man Harry Jelinekonce sold Karlstejn Castleto American industrialists,allegedly while pretendingto be a local baron.

Another Czech-borncon man was the greatestof them all. Victor Lustigleft his home country at arelatively young age, so he

had to sell the landmarks ofother nations.

Fortunately, he was flu-ent in many languages, andhe chose to settle downin Paris. In 1925, Frenchnewspapers were wonderingwhat was to become of theEiffel Tower. It was rusting,far older than its intendedlifespan. What wouldbecome of the monument?

Lustig capitalized onthe rumours by using noth-ing more than some forgedgovernment stationery and aroom at a swanky hotel. Hecalled together the six mostprominent metal scrap deal-ers in Paris and swore themto secrecy: the governmenthad decided to tear downthe tower, and one of themwould get the contract forthe metal.

The mark seemed suspi-cious of all the secrecy, soLustig one-upped himself.He was simply an underpaidgovernment bureaucrat,he told the unlucky scrapdealer. Perhaps a little extracash would help the rightbidder get the rights to thelandmark? Reassured, themark gave Lustig both thecash for the tower and abribe to top it off.

Lustig skipped town, butreturned later and tried thescam again when the firstvictim proved too ashamed

to go to the police. Hewould later get caught in theStates, and died in Alcatrazon a counterfeiting charge.

One of the reasons I canfeel some degree of admira-tion for these swindlers isthey knew they were crooks.Once they were caught, theyseldom attempted to pretendthey were anything otherthan clever.

You still see this sort ofscam every so often thesedays, but far more often, wesee the descendents of theother style of scam artist,Charles Ponzi.

Ponzi realized that scam-ming one gullible markwith a lot of cash couldbe replaced by scamminglots and lots of poor peopleout of what little moneythey had. He invented theindustrial-sized scam, andis the direct cause of peoplelike Bernie Madoff and thefolks who rope you intobuying fraudulent stocksthat are “guaranteed” togo up 200 per cent. Evenworse are those who workat the big banks and tradinghouses. JPMorgan recentlyagreed to pay $13 billion inexchange for a wide rangeof financial improprieties— which is a nice way ofsaying they ripped off anawful lot of people, mostlythrough mortgage-relatedshenanigans.

These men are cannierthan Lustig, as they havetaken more, have kept mostof it, and are unlikely to diein a prison cell.

The Editor,Re: “Farm neighbours raise concerns about more dumping,”

News, Oct. 18.I happened to read your article on the dumping of asphalt

grindings at the property located just east of Fong’s Market onWestminster Highway just east of No. 6 Road. I would like tosay I’m shocked and dismayed, but honestly I’m not. I was pre-viously with the ALC Compliance & Enforcement section.

From what I can recall, not only did I place a stop workorder on the property, but because of continued non-complianceI requested the CEO of the ALC issue an order for rehabilita-tion against the property. I believe that I served the order on theowner some time ago. Neither order was appealed.

So, technically speaking, the ALC can at any time proceed tocourt for an enforcement order to compel the owner to removeall the fill and rehabilitate the land to some level of agriculturalcapability. You should be able to confirm the documents via FOIto the ALC or perhaps the City of Richmond.

Technically speaking, residential construction would be per-mitted and the fill necessary could be permitted, but they wouldonly be permitted to fill a certain area. From what I recall, thelandowners have vastly exceeded that footprint.

To continue to import and deposit anything on the site prettymuch slaps the ALC in the face and shows no respect for theregulations. Hopefully, as the ALC gets my vacancy back-filled,and the government can stay out of their business, the ALC canget on with the enforcement.

The Editor,Re: “Steveston secondary site sale to help

talks on new school funding,” Online, Oct.23.

The reported details are quite intriguinginsofar as serious lack of clarity and transpar-ency. Ultimately, have the Richmond citizensand taxpayers best interests been addressed ?

The Steveston site currently has SPU zon-ing, and hence restricted uses, i.e., on parwith the status quo of school and park use.

The school district reports it has soldthe 13-acre site to an established developerfor $41.125 million. In addition, five ofthese acres will be donated to the City ofRichmond.

At this juncture, and consistent with thecurrent zoning, the city would possess fiveacres of land zoned SPU, and the developerretains eight acres of land zoned SPU.

The sales completion date is in December2014 (note: approximately the time a new

city council is sworn in).In addition, this purchase price “may”

increase if certain undisclosed conditions aremet, yet the details also claim the sale is “notconditional” on city rezoning.

Thus, the question is, why would a devel-oper pay such a substantial amount anddonate almost 40 per cent of the land withno “subject to” assurances of rezoning by thecity?

As it stands, the developer may ultimatelybe stuck with an old high school building oneight acres of park, correct?

The only other plausible scenario, withno evidence to the contrary, is that some “in-camera” negotiations will be taking place,“token” public hearings held and then the faitaccompli “rezoning rubber stamp” comesout.

Steveston sale lacks clarity

The Editor,Re: “Boxed in?” News, Oct. 11.Much has been said recently about the

plans for the Walmart development in WestCambie, and I find I keep thinking the samefour words, “We can do better.”

Richmond has changed a lot over the lastfive years, some would argue for the worse,but I would say most has been positive.

We’ve welcomed the Canada Line, sup-ported a burgeoning restaurant scene, beganto densify the city centre and, most recently,built the Railway Greenway, which is trans-forming recreation for families in WestRichmond. These are things that make peopleproud to live here and I would argue our cityis more vibrant than ever before.

We are beginning to identify ourselves asresidents of our own city, rather than merelyanother suburb of Vancouver.

This is why the proposed Walmart devel-opment just doesn’t feel right. We can do bet-ter than this. The development turns its backon the street and the Garden City Lands.

It is far too large for the neighbourhoodit’s part of, so clearly meant for those comingfrom other places. It will be made for largerchain stores, not the small businesses thatdominate much of our core. It’s an entirelysuburban design for an increasingly urbancity. It’s part of Richmond’s past, not itsfuture.

It also assumes we all drive or want to

drive when signs show younger generationswould rather not.

One councillor said in this paper, “Thereality is that people drive to get their grocer-ies.” But is it good enough to say that any-more? What about seniors who no longer feelcomfortable behind the wheel? What aboutchildren who want to ride their bikes to thelocal grocer? What about our fellow residentswho are not physically able to drive?

And let’s not forget those of us who can’tafford to buy a vehicle, let alone the costs ofinsurance, gas and maintenance. Yes, cars aredominant, but we should be asking ourselves,“Are we okay with a city designed to make usdependent on the car?”

Just last year our mayor and council did usproud by telling the airport that their plannedoutlet mall, far away from public transit,wasn’t good enough for our city. So, why isthis? We need to start thinking big.

We need to build a city around transit andinspiring design. We need to send a messageto our younger residents that Richmond isa place you can be proud of living in. It’s aplace where you can get an education, starta business and grow a family. Richmond is acity we should all take pride in.

It’s not just a suburb anymore. We shouldall be saying, “This is Richmond, and thisdevelopment isn’t good enough.”

The Editor,Re: “Worry about empty nets,” Editorial, Oct. 18.I applaud you loudly for stating clearly the climate

crisis that we find ourselves in. And for stating theimportant link it has to our extraction, production andconsumption of carbon fuels. This is something I knowis difficult for corporate mainstream media to do for

various reasons. Well done.More and more media editorials are finally breaking

out from their silence with the overwhelming numberof extreme events and dire observations of the warmingglobal climate.

It can no longer be ignored. They are also addressingthe campaign of misinformation by “skeptics” with bold

action like that taken by the LA Times in not echoingblatantly wrong and misleading information or com-ments on the topic. (See the US Today editorial: www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/10/14/climate-change-global-warming-ipcc-editorials-debates/2983979/.)

It requires action and brave leadership on the part ofour elected lawmakers and government. This will notcome unless citizens are aware of the risks, dangers andwhat our choices are — so that they can demand actionand support themin tackling thecalamity.

Yes, I too havehad a very uneasyfeeling with therecent perplex-ing and disturb-ing events, whichseem to have avague connectionto global warmingand ocean acidifi-cation. First, it wasthe starfish dyingoff around NorthAmerica, then there are massive moose (populations)dying off continent wide.

Now this week, we hear of the sardines disappear-ance, and there was the extremely low run this season ofsockeye salmon. There is a large ongoing dolphin die offon the east coast. Honey bees are disappearing here andin Europe. This is alarming stuff.

Coral colonies are collapsing and there are massivejellyfish population explosions across all our oceans.Our forests are being devastated by pine beetle andextreme fires. Biodiversity is taking a hit big time.

This reduction is something that has appeared in thepast whenever carbon dioxide levels and temperatureshave risen to extremes.

The public is just not aware of the connection andthe critical risks we face. They also do not realize howpressing and urgent the situation is. Huge effort and sac-rifices are need to address the issue. It’s good to see themedia rising to the challenge, at last.

The News... keeping Richmond families informed.

A pair of notable Richmondites got somerecognition at opposite ends of a recent Angus

Reid Global pollthis week.

In an onlinesurvey conductedearly October, par-ticipants were askedto rate from a list

of noteworthy Canadian personalities if theyadmired them or not.

Topping the list of those whowere admired was long-timeenvironmentalist David Suzukiwith 57 per cent of respondantssaying they admired him.

Close behind in second placewas Richmond’s Rick Hansenwith 50 per cent. The ManIn Motion, whose around theworld wheelchair odyssey raisedawareness and funds for spinalchord research, now heads the Rick HansenFoundation, working to improve the lives ofthose with spinal chord injuries.

On the other end of the scale was former2010 Winter Olympics CEO and formerRichmond resident, John Furlong, wasadmired by just six per cent. Furlong, the cur-

rent executive chair of Vancouver WhitecapsFC, has been in the news headlines after alle-gations of abusing students when he was a vol-unteer teacher in Burns Lake in 1969. Furlongwas also among the least known Canadians inthe survey at 63 per cent.

“Congratulations to my fellow differencemakers across Canada who were recognizedin the recent Angus Reid poll, especially myfriend, David Suzuki,” said Hansen in anemail. “It’s a great honour to be named amongthese great Canadians.” Hansen added it washis hope the recognition can inspire a newgeneration to lead social change and inspire

others into action.Other most admired

Canadians in the surveywere CBC news anchor PeterMansbridge (48 per cent), authorMargaret Atwood (34 per cent),federal Liberal leader JustinTrudeau (34 per cent), formerhockey coach Don Cherry (27per cent), and Prime MinisterStephen Harper (23 per cent).

Harper received a return of 63 per cent whodidn’t admire him. At the bottom regions ofthe survey were disgraced press baron ConradBlack who had 69 per cent not admiring him,and Senator Mike Duffy whose involvementin false expense allegations garnered him areturn of 70 per cent who did not admire him.

Five years ago, a “monolithic, concrete-faced structure with a soul of growthand development” rose from the

ground.Speaking with Otto Langer, there’s little

room for doubt as to his mind on the creationof Port Metro Vancouver, borne of the fed-eral government-approved merger in 2008of the Port of Vancouver, the Fraser RiverPort Authority and the North Fraser PortAuthority.

It was a ménage-a-trois that Langer— a respected environmentalist and retiredDepartment of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO)senior biologist of 32 years — insists wasanother “nail in the coffin” in terms of pro-tecting the Fraser River estuary.

Port Metro Vancouver (PMV), put simply,acts as judge, jury and executioner, accordingto Langer, when it comes to expansion pro-posals on the river and the federal policing ofenvironmental concerns.

“The accessibility and accountability tothe public was lost when it became one portauthority,” said Langer.

“The big landowner now looks after envi-ronmental assessments. It’s the classic wolflooking after the sheep. That alone makesthem unaccountable.

“Where’s the unbiased review of anythingthat comes in front of the port?”

Prior to the 2008 merger, brought to bearout of apparent inefficiencies in runningthree separate federal authorities, Langer— working for the DFO at the time as headof habitat protection for the Fraser River,northern B.C. and the Yukon — regularlybutted heads in the ’70s and ’80s with theaforementioned ports.

But despite often crossing swords fromopposite sides of the environmental fence,Langer said they were easier to work and rea-son with due to the nature of their size.

“They were smaller, they had localappointees, you could walk right into theiroffices and meet with their CEOs easily andat the drop of a hat,” said Langer.

“I can’t see that happening now, that’s forsure. Back then, those organizations werealso more accountable because they essen-tially had smaller interests.”

Richmond’s mayor, Malcolm Brodie,remembers feeling closer to the decision-making table when dealing with the twosmaller port authorities that affected his city.

“We had an excellent working relation-ship,” said Brodie. “Everything was smaller.”

Brodie recalls the three cities situatedin the North Fraser authority’s region hav-ing one representative between them on theboard and the six or seven cities in the FraserRiver authority’s region having one represen-tative between them on that board.

Currently, under the PMV 11-directormodel, only one person represents all of the

cities in the Lower Mainland affected byPMV’s operations.

AccountabilityPMV, under the federal eye of Transport

Canada, now has too much power over whathappens on the Fraser River, said Langer.

A concern, he stressed, simmered to thesurface earlier this year with the cost-cuttingloss of FREMP, an intergovernmental pro-gram that helped protect the environment ofthe Fraser River and Burrard Inlet. FREMP’sresponsibilities were handed over to PMV tooversee.

And the fact the public hasno part to play in the appoint-ment of PMV’s board of direc-tors, predominantly hand-pickedby industry user groups, suckseven more life, said Langer, outof the credibility of the port’srole to conduct unbiased envi-ronmental reviews.

“There are no checks and balances inthere,” he said. “If there was a properly run,independent environmental assessment pro-cedure, then I think we would all be a littlemore tolerant and accepting of the system.

“Port Metro can decide, environmentally,on proposals they stand to gain financiallyfrom; it’s a total conflict of interest.”

Brodie — who also sits on MetroVancouver’s transportation committee, whichdeals directly with PMV on a number ofregional issues — recognizes the positiverole the port authority plays, especially in hiscommunity.

Citing PMV as a “significant economicgenerator, responsible for many operationson the Fraser River,” the mayor also high-

lighted dredging initiatives, the Highway 91overpass project and the support the author-ity lends to many community and city-runevents.

But as grateful as the City of Richmondis to the port, there’s no getting away, admitsBrodie, from the “challenge” his administra-tion faces in getting its voice heard throughthe thick panel of the PMV boardroom door.

“Port issues tend to be very large and theirdecisions can often impact the city positivelyor negatively without us having any say.

“And shortly after the amalgamation in2008, there was the port’s purchase of theGilmore Farms land. If ever a red flag wasraised to show Port Metro had an agenda not

in sync with the city, that was it.”PMV determined right there

and then, said Brodie, that it canpick up farmland, locked in theAgricultural Land Reserve (ALR),for port operations and then desig-nate it as industrial without any real

public process.Coun. Harold Steves — Metro

Vancouver’s vice chair of the regional plan-ning and agriculture committee — hasengaged in several verbal battles with PMVover the decades, especially on issues suchas the port’s farmland acquisition and its per-ceived attack on the need for an ALR.

“They answer to themselves, plain andsimple, with the support of the federal gov-ernment,” said Steves.

“But they keep on telling us that all theydo is ‘just decide who can ship the stuff, wehave no say in what is shipped.’

“The big question everyone always hasfor them is who gives the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ onproposals?

“When we go to the transport ministryfor answers, they say it’s not their place toanswer and tell us to go to PMV. But whenwe go to PMV, they refer us to the ministry,it’s ridiculous.”

Jet fuel plan, tunnelNow almost two and a half years old,

the so-called provincial/federal “harmo-nized” environmental review into an airlineconsortium’s aviation fuel delivery proposal,has shed the spotlight on the assertion thatthe port simply shouldn’t be acting as anenvironmental watchdog for the Fraser River,according to PMV detractors.

The consortium, VAFFC, wants to bargeaviation fuel up the south arm of the Fraser,off-load it to a tank farm in southeastRichmond and then pipe it mostly alongHighway 99 to YVR.

Before the plan can proceed, VAFFCrequires a permit from the provincial gov-ernment’s environmental assessment office(BCEAO) and from PMV, which, in thisinstance, is the federal entity.

The B.C. government said this week thatits review decision will finally be madepublic on or before Christmas Eve — a cal-endar decision which adds even more fuelto the fire, no pun intended, of protest groupVAPOR’s skepticism of the entire reviewprocess.

“There’s no agreement written down onwhat this (harmonized) review should looklike or how it operates,” questioned Langer,who acts as VAPOR’s environment expert.

“Will PMV accept what the BCEAOsays? I don’t think they really are true part-ners in all of this.

“How can they be when there’s nothingwritten down? It’s the old tail and the dogstory. PMV is both and they seem to havefull authority over the river.”

Langer said that, because the PMV boardhas no public input and the review has hadlittle or no public input, few people hold outany hope for the decision when it finallycomes out.

Brodie said he and his council has, almostfrom the outset, red-flagged the “conflict ofinterest PMV Metro has in this proposal.”

“Each time, they’ve chosen to minimal-ize that conflict. The port stands to gain as alandlord, but it doesn’t seem to understandwhy this is a problem.”

And when it comes to PMV’s role inbringing the Massey Tunnel replacementproject to the top of the B.C. government’stransportation agenda, Brodie questions howinfluential the port authority has been.

“What we do know is that the port wantsthe tunnel gone,” he said. “The concern fromthat is the potential industrialization of thewhole area. The Panamax tankers that woulduse the river, if the tunnel was gone, aregigantic.”

Managing the day-today operations ofNorth America’s

largest export port, whilemitigating its impact on thelocal community, is a deli-cate balancing act not lost onPort Metro Vancouver’s CEORobin Silvester.

One in every five dol-lars worth of trade inCanada moves through theport (PMV), sustaining, inthe process, 60,000 jobsacross the MetroVancouver region.

It would benaive to assumethe vibrations fromsuch footfall don’tregister at groundlevel in the regionwhere the port doesbusiness.

“To give you an exampleof how we engage with thecommunity; last year we hadtwo meetings a day, every-day, that involved the public,”Silvester told the News.

“We hear people and weunderstand. We understand

their frustrations, especiallywith regard to traffic andnoise.”

Decision-makingOne of the single, biggest

public relations problemsPMV currently faces is con-fusion over its authority, itsaccountability and how itdecides on proposals for newoperations in its waters.

“We recognize this as aproblem and we are workingon making it clearer to thepublic,” admitted Silvester.

“If we use the coal exportexpansion as an example:It’s land that comes under

our jurisdiction,it’s in our landuse plan. For(the exporter)to be able to dothis, they haveto apply for a

permit from us.”Addressing accusations

that PMV, the federal entityon the aforementioned coalexpansion proposal, wasworking too closely with theproponent (Fraser SurreyDocks) — apparently inap-propriate email exchanges

between a public relationsfirm representing a coalindustry lobby group and theport were made public —Silvester drew comparisonsto dealings at city hall.

“The same accusationscould be leveled at city hall,where staff usually work veryclosely with developers,” hesaid.

The difference, however,is that local developmentsare accepted or rejected bycity council, which is electedby voters.

Tunnel, fuel planEver since Premier

Christy Clark announced thetearing up of the jam-packedMassey Tunnel last month,skeptics began questioningthe government’s motivesand the role PMV played inpushing the “Tube’s” replace-ment with a bridge.

Some critics have evengone as far as to suggest theonly reason the region isgetting a multi-billion dollartransportation project is tofacilitate larger vessels’ pas-sage up the shallow tunnelsection of the Fraser River.

Not so, said Silvester,who insists the tunnelreplacement has been on thecards for a long time.

“Ask someone in Deltawhat’s the most importantissue for them,” he said.

“We’ve seen the potentialfor growth south of the riverand seen major infrastructureinvestment, so logically, thegovernment is looking tohelp that growth. The tun-nel is one of those criticalimpediments to that growth.”

And when it comes to thereview of the controversialproposal to ship aviationfuel up the river and thenoff-load it onto land that theport would rent out, Silvesterinsists it doesn’t have thepower to trump the province.

“This (project) needs boththe B.C. permit and the fed-eral permit to proceed. Wecan’t override the other.”

Although, PMV hasshown its ability to overridethe province’s AgriculturalLand Commission by buy-ing up farmland for its ownpurposes." See full story at www.rich-mond-news.com

We’re listening to the peoplePEELING THE PORT

The only way to restorepublic confidence in the envi-ronmental review process ofprojects affecting the FraserRiver is for PMV to get upfrom the table and leave theroom, according to Langer andBrodie.

“If the likes of the port hasan interest in a project goingahead, it has to step away fromit,” said Langer.

“We need better federaloversight, better public over-sight and more public inputby way of local representationon the PMV board, perhapsin the shape of someone froma marine conservation back-ground. We need more transpar-ency.”

Langer understands PMVhas a mandate to grow theeconomy and its operations.“That’s fine, but when it comesto the likes of environmentalreviews, it simply has to be car-ried out independently to make

it credible.“It cannot be a self-centred

club, pushing the port’s busi-ness and nothing else.”

Brodie said there’s no guar-antee he would ultimately agreewith a decision handed down byan independent environmentalreview body, “but at least theport wouldn’t have been part ofthe game.”

Looking ahead, Langer seeseven more worrying times forthe Fraser estuary, professingthat the “stars have well andtruly been lining up for yearsfor these kinds of develop-ments.”

“It really is a disillusioningtime for people such as myself.

“For many of us who, for thepast 30 years or so, have beentrying to get proper reviews,it’s a sad time. But this is notall about the current Harpergovernment; it started wayback (with cuts from previousprovincial and federal govern-ments).

Community

The most common com-ment people say to us whenwe are in the front garden inthe summer is, “It sure looksnice. Bet it’s a lot of work.” Ialways reply (truthfully): “Itisn’t work when you like it.”

But, now, as far as I’mconcerned, is when the realwork is happening in thegarden.

It’s time to put the garden to bed. Wehave had a long stretch of dry weather, albeitfoggy. But fog it is, and not rain. And givenbetween the two, I’ll take fog any day. It hasbeen perfect weather to clean up, pull up andcut back.

It is time to pull up and compost all ofyour annuals, and cut back most of yourperennials. Any diseased foliage, such astomatoes that may have got the blight, shouldgo out in your city green bin, and not becomposted in your backyard. This includesdiseased rose leaves and fruit tree leaves, aswell.

You can make the call about twigs andtough leaves, such as rhodendrens which takeseveral years to decompose. Anything of aninvasive species, such as ivy, also should gointo the city bin, as well as any weeds thathave blossomed or gotten as far as to setseeds.

As for your hanging baskets, if thereis anything left living in them, such as thegeraniums, you can overwinter them in yourgarage if you like. Water them sparingly

every month or so, and keepthem from freezing. Somefolks keep them in the totaldark, others place them neara window. You can make thecall based on what space youhave available.

Check the soil beforeyou put any plants in a moresheltered area. We actu-

ally haven’t had rain for quite a while andI know that a lot of ours were very dry. Alight watering before you put them away isadvised.

If you have taken any house plants out-side, such as Christmas cactus, it’s time tobring them back in, also. Clean the exteriorof the pots and make sure you don’t bring inany bugs with them.

If you have dahlias, you can start diggingthem up now. I’ve always thought the rule ofthumb was that you had to wait until the firstfrost, but the dahlia gardeners I know havestarted already. My husband has been amazedat the size of the tubers he has been diggingup. Our long hot summer must have defi-nitely benefitted them.

Pick all the flowers, of course, before youcompost all your plants. Bring them all intothe house for one giant, last bouquet.

Pace yourself, stretch before you go out,wear gloves to protect your hands and get itall done before the rain comes!

While we can all appreciate a night out crammed into a sweaty bar, these days wefind ourselves choosing our venues based on whether there will be room for us tosit down.

The Emerald, a new Chinatown supper club, is making sure that everyone has a seat,and is encouraging us to park and get comfortable. With large tables best-suited togroups, a spacious layout so you can’t hear your neighbour’s conversation, and akiller list of classic and modern cocktails, this is one spot you won’t want to leave.Featuring a menu full of Old Vegas inspired favourites (think Spaghetti andmeatballs, Chicken Parmesan, and a homemade Peking Duck), they don’t takeany bookings past 8pm – because they expect you to stay.

And stay you will, because the booths are comfy, the lights are dimmed, the cocktailsare delicious, and by 11pm on a Saturday night – there’s no way you are giving upthat seat.

The Emerald also offer Vegas Style Breakfast Buffets which includes a Make YourOwn Ceasar cart.

The Emerald, 555 Gore, Vancouver. 604-559-8477, www.the-emerald.ca

How about an idea? Gather the bestindependent boutiques across Canada,and create one convenient shoppingsite.

That’s exactly the premise behindthe freshly launched Garmentory, ashop that not only curates the uniqueselections for us, but also let’s us playthe game of haggle. Instead of click-ing “purchase,” Garmentory let’s us“make an offer” the old school marketway. Your offer will either be acceptedor rejected by the store, but it certainlydoesn’t hurt to try and save a coupleof bucks.

Independents UniteAnya Georgijevic

On our radar: Suno Rose Sweater ($396) from Violet Boutique (pictured) and theBraid Ring ($110) fromAlynne Lavigne. Offers made, now we keep our fingerscrossed.

“Issue” defined,but not from DNA

DNA, a term we hear almost daily, is actually deoxyribonucleic acid, thehereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearlyevery cell in a person's body has the same DNA. It tells a lot about us, andit is being studied across the world, for numerous purposes. But sincethis column isn't scientific, enough about DNA for now.

Many Wills written in B.C. include bequests to individuals. It is verycommon for Wills writers (including Lawyers and Notaries) to allow forthe possibility that a beneficiary may die before the Testator/Testatrix(the person making the Will). In such a situation, it is common tobequeath the particular gift to the individual’s issue.

The main reason for that is to make sure that any gift in a Will alwayshas somewhere to go. If a Will is drafted without a clause allowingfor an alternate beneficiary, the risk is that a gift left to a predeceasedbeneficiary may end up in several different hands, some (or none) ofwhich would have been intended by the Will maker. Put another way, aperson making a Will should be careful in identifying who a gift shouldgo to. An interesting case decided earlier this month illustrates.

Barnes Estate v. Barnes

Background

In this case, the deceased made her Will in 1992 and died in 2010. TheEstate was modest (valued at around $220,000). In this rather litigiouscase, the Court had to give an opinion as to the proper distribution of theassets under the Will. Part of that opinion was to make a declaration as towhether two “grandchildren” (I use quotation marks because their statuswasn't clear) of the Will maker are not the “issue” of the Will Maker’s son(who died before his late mother).

The word “issue” is at the centre of the case, because the definition of thatword, so commonly used in Wills, was critical to the outcome.

DNA testing was done to help determine whether there was a biologicalconnection between the deceased son and the two “grandchildren”purported to be his sons.

The Will divided the Estate equally between the Will maker’s two sons.And if any son predeceased, their share was to go to that deceased son’sown “issue.” If a son had no “issue,” his half-share would, pursuant to theWill, go to the other son or the other son’s “issue” (if that other son alsopredeceased, which happened in this case).

Court’s discussion

The question, briefly, is whether the word “issue” really means “children.”The applicant tried to argue that, because the DNA testing done didnot conclude a biological connection between the deceased son of theWill maker and his own “son,” the son is not an “issue” of the deceasedWill maker’s son (and so does not get the half-share of the Will maker’sdeceased son).

It appeared that the Court was not willing to give paternity the sameemphasis that the parties did in determining whether the two grandsonsof the Will maker were entitled to a share of the Estate.

The Court first examined the old “armchair rule” in attempting tointerpret the Will, and stated that the Court must ascertain the intentof the Will maker as expressed in the Will. And, the Will is to be readas a whole.

The Court is also permitted to consider evidence to identify thecircumstances of the Will maker, which might influence the Will makerin his or her choice of distribution.

The Court then considered the meaning of the word “issue,” andconsidered various scholastic definitions. The Court seemed to settleon the word as “including all lineal descendants of the Will maker.”However, the Court held that this did not conclusively define the word“issue.” The Court emphasized that it had to determine what the Willmaker intended by her words in the Will, and so the simple dictionarydefinition of the word “issue” did not end the matter!

The Court ultimately found that the meaning of “issue” is not clear andunequivocal. It was not prepared to hold that “issue” refers only to blooddescendants. Thus, the Court sought to interpret the word in the contextof the Will of the late Will maker.

The parties did agree, in this case, that the Will maker’s son held out andtreated his two sons as if they were his biological sons. The Court heldthat the Will maker knew well of her two grandsons, and likely believedthey were her grandsons. Therefore, she intended that they would inheritif their father predeceased (which he did).

There were also some doubts with respect to the DNA evidence, whichfurther clouded the matter of the biological connection, but that hadbecome a non-factor by this point in the case. The Court held that thetwo grandsons of the Will maker would take the half-share intended fortheir father.

Conclusion

This important case somewhat clarifies the definition of the word“issue.” It also suggests that if a person making a Will wants to benefita certain person or group of people (such as a grandchildren), itwould be preferable and clearer to simply identify the beneficiaries as“grandchildren” rather than “issue.” The word “issue” probably connotesa broader group of people than “children.” So the use of such wording,as you can see, is important in a Will.

The case is also important for clarifying the method by which a Courtcan interpret a Will. To me, it indicates that the more carefully a Will isworded, the easier a Court can determine what the Will maker intendedto do with his or her Estate. So give a lot of thought to the words inyour Will!

Food&Wine

If you want thebest view of StevestonHarbour and great food,Blue Canoe WaterfrontRestaurant should beyour next port of call.

That’s the opinionof Richmond’s SueRobertson, a regularcustomer who loves tosing its praises.

Besides the food and location,Robertson is impressed with the owner,Jim.

“He’s always around helping thestaff. I see him walking with his fam-ily in Steveston. He’s the right fit forSteveston.”

Robertson also enjoys the happy andattentive servers, including our waiter,Cormac Brennan. And there’s the over-all comfort and ambience of the new, all-season patio and its panoramic views.

But the food is the clincher.Robertson loves the achiote chickentaquitos tapa and the garlic prawnsbruschetta.

But the lemon meringue pie is herfavourite.

The fluffy meringue is made withbrown sugar, which complements thethick, creamy, tart lemon curd.

With a tasty crust, plus garnishesof fresh fruit and blackberry syrupdrizzled on the plate, it’s an elegant fin-ishing touch.

I’m also drawn toBlue Canoe for the samemany of the reasons, andam thrilled with theirwide selection of finewines.

For my curried veg-etable soup, I chose aglass of BC Joie Farms2012, A Noble Blend.

This Naramata white is a fragrantblend of six varieties, most of itGewurtztraminer, Riesling and PinotBlanc.

Expect a lychee applearoma and a dry, but fruitytaste made in an Alsatianstyle.

That juicy fruit is a pleas-ant contrast to the rich squashand carrot soup with its curryspices.

To complement my trio ofwild salmon sliders ($13.99),I was served a Pentage PinotGris, one of Brennan’s favou-rite wines and a See Ya LaterPinot Noir.

The Pinot Gris has a cop-per hue typical of the grape,a ripe pear character, and acrisp refreshing flavour.

It was a perfect match for my grilledsalmon with purple cabbage slaw.

The See Ya Later Pinot Noir fromOkanagan Falls, is a dark, ruby red with

a nose and flavour of black cherries,hints of autumn earthiness, plus a vel-vety mouth-feel.

Like the Pinot Gris, the Pinot Noir’sfruitiness lifts the salmon to a higherlevel and its refreshing acidity cleansesthe palate making room for dessert…thelemon meringue.

For that I don’t need any wine. Thestellar pie doesn’t need to be lifted to ahigher level!

Richmond Lacrosse U10 and U14 field teamhosted Port Coquitlam and Delta respectivelyin Pacific Coast League action last Sunday atMinoru Park. After a month’s worth of tieringaction, the regular season starts this weekend.

Sports

Kyle Uy and Dante Hannoun eachscored twice as the Greater VancouverCanadians completed a much-neededweekend sweep of the Fraser ValleyThunderbirds with a 7-3 victory in B.C.Major Midget Hockey League action atthe Richmond Olympic Oval.

Riding a six-game losing streak intothe series, the regional rep team snapped

the slump behind the shutout goaltend-ing of Tyler Shugrue for a 3-0 victory onSaturday. Hannoun’s first period powerplay goal proved to be the game winner.

The Victoria Royals’ top 2013 Bantamdraft pick added another in the third peri-od. Uy also scored.

The rematch proved to be a much morewide open affair as the Canadians opened

up a 4-1 second period lead and cruisedto victory. Nathan McCarnan, Ryan Jonesand Scott Munro had the other goals forthe Canadians.

Alex Whitwham and Braeden Gurneyeach had three assists. Whitwham re-joined the Canadians late last month afterthe 17-year-old sophomore forward fromRichmond received a long look from the

Spokane Chiefs before being among theteam’s final cuts.

Owen Seidel added a pair of helpers.The Canadians (4-6-0) will look to

continue their newfound momentum witha pair of games against the VancouverNortheast Chiefs (5-2-3), includingSunday at 10 a.m. at the RichmondOlympic Oval.
