NEWS: Minister MikeBernier’s announcementmet with scepticism
Would officers in a new, Richmondpolice force speak Chinese?
More Chinese-speaking seniors in Rich-mond should make a bigger effort to speakEnglish.
And more English language teachers areneeded in the city for Chinese seniors tolearn one of Canada’s official tongues moreefficiently.
These questions and concerns were justsome of the issues raised Friday by theChinese community during a 90-minutelong meeting on community safety hostedby businessman Peter Liu at a restaurant inGolden Village.
Just under 100 people — all but three,including guest speaker Coun. Bill McNulty,were of Chinese ethnicity and most were intheir senior years — turned out at the China
House Seafood Restaurant on Capstan Way.Liu organized the question and answer
event, the first in a series, to bridge thelanguage barrier between the Chinese com-munity and city council, saying there aresimply too many people in the communitywho don’t speak English and are not able toexpress their concerns to city hall.
“It was a very promising start, althoughit did take time to warm up,” said Liu ofthe event, where attendees were treated tofree dim sum, courtesy of the China Housesponsors.
“I’m actually organizing the next (meeting)right now. I’m hoping to get another council-lor, MLA or an MP. The subject is likely stillto be community safety, as it’s a hot topic.”
McNulty, who had the help of Liu translat-ing on the day, said the event was “out-standing.”
“There were some very good issues; it wasway better than anticipated,” he said.
“People’s concerns were expressed and Iwas impressed by the depth of the ques-
tions.”Moments before the event kicked off,
McNulty told the Richmond News how it’simportant “We come to their ‘home;’ this iswhere they eat every day, Chinese peoplerarely eat at home,” in reference to holdingthe meeting in a Chinese restaurant.
As Chinese copies of the City of Rich-mond’s police survey, handed out by Liu,circulated the room, the Richmond News’Facebook posting of an earlier story aboutthe meeting was shown on the restaurant’slarge TV screens.
Pointing to the screens and highlightingpublic comments on the Facebook page,Liu talked about the reaction to the storyfrom the English-speaking community inRichmond.
In particular, he drew attention to onecomment saying, “If you don’t like it, goback to your own country” and “We are toonice in Canada.”

What’sHappening inRichmondEast?
If you thought everyone would be happyabout a desperately needed $5 million
extension to one of Richmond’s most crowdedelementary schools, think again.
The B.C. government’s Minister of Educa-tion, Mike Bernier, rolled into town Friday toannounce a jointly funded, eight-classroomaddition to Anderson elementary on AlbertaRoad, near No. 4 Road and Granville Avenue.
Students are currently overflowing intoportable classrooms, with enrolment at 523— the school’s capacity is 401.
Work on the $5 million extension, half ofwhich is being paid by Richmond School Dis-trict, is expected to start this spring and takea year to complete — boosting the school’scapacity to 625 student spaces.
However, some teachers at the school haveserious concerns over the type of classroomspace planned and the fact that the gym andcomputer lab space is already bursting at theseams. So much so, that students are onlygetting one gym session per week.
“(The extension) solves the problems ofthe portables on site, but adds no new spacewhich is desperately needed; like gym spaceand computer lab space, to accommodatesuch a large school population,” one teacher,
who asked not to be named, told the Rich-mond News.
“The gym capacity, for instance, in an agewhen we need kids active, is a huge problem,(as is the) lack of access to technology.”
The Richmond Teachers’ Association (RTA)is well aware of its members’ issues at An-
derson and has been in talks with the schooldistrict.
In particular, there are worries about theproposed new classrooms being designed toopen out into hallways to accommodate largerclasses.
“We would agree that teaching spaces need
to be flexible, but we have concerns withclasses spilling out into the hallways,” said AlKlassen, RTA president.
“Yes, there are times when students aresplit into groups and sometimes they work inthe hallway as part of that.
“But the RTA’s point is that the room shouldbe maximized in terms of teaching space.The trend right now is to make the class-rooms smaller and that’s an issue.”
Klassen said he’s also aware of the crushon gym time at Anderson, which is “alreadychock-a-block.”
“Putting in another addition to the schoolis problematic without having more gym andcomputer lab space,” added Klassen.
“We are working with the school district totry and resolve (these issues).”
Debbie Tablotney, Richmond School Boardchair, said the district is looking at the exten-sion as an “opportunity to build space for thefuture.”
“(District) staff have met with the teach-ers and are in talks about (their concerns),”Tablotney told The News.
In terms of the configuration of the class-room spaces, Tablotney said some changesmay be possible and it was “important tonote…that the plans have yet to be finalized.”
He told the crowd how the official lan-guages of Canada are English and Frenchand how he encouraged his children to learnthose languages.
“I would urge everyone in this communityto learn English. Richmond is not a place forhatred,” Liu added.
When asked Monday why he chose tohighlight the more negative comments on theNews’ Facebook page, Liu said the com-ments were “not reflective of what we aretrying to do.
“This is not a language issue; it’s a com-munication issue. Even if you speak English,it’s not easy to contact your councillor.”
When the time came for questions forMcNulty, people seemed reluctant to go first,while some appeared more concerned withtucking into the sponsor’s veritable feast thanthe proceedings.
Henry Yao, who ran unsuccessfully for citycouncil in 2014, asked in Chinese and inEnglish why the city was even considering anindependent police force.
“Over the years, we’ve not been happywith the RCMP — they do a good job — butthey are accountable to Ottawa, 4,000 milesaway,” answered McNulty.
A man calling himself Frank, who moved
from China 10 years ago, expressed in hisown language how there are “more and morebreak-ins in Richmond.”
“I’ve asked police to increase patrols incertain areas,” replied McNulty.
In actual fact, according to the RCMP,break-ins were down across the city in 2015.
McNulty then urged people to join BlockWatch and to call the RCMP immediately ifthey feel something suspicious is happening.
Yao also asked if police officers in an inde-pendent force would speak Chinese?
“Absolutely,” said McNulty, “we wouldneed officers that reflect our community; bethey Mandarin, Punjabi or Filipino.
“Our city is growing and more than 65 percent speak Cantonese or Mandarin.”
One man — who introduced himself as agood friend of McNulty, while speaking inChinese — urged all citizens in Richmond tostudy English.
He told of a neighbour who, after a misun-derstanding, ended up getting handcuffed bypolice, because he didn’t speak English.
“Officers need to be trained to deal withmulti-cultural issues, but people shouldmake an effort to speak English,” McNultysaid in reply.
“People have come to Canada and theyneed to embrace the country and thelanguage. It’s a two-way street; when I go to
China, I try to speak Chinese.”Another man told how many Chinese
seniors don’t speak English and how thecommunity needs more help from volunteersor the City of Richmond to help the seniors.
“There is a limit to what we can do andwe’re also limited by the number of (Chinese-speaking) peoplethat want to workfor the city,” saidMcNulty.
One of the threeCaucasian peoplein attendance wascommunity activistKerry Starchuk, whohas campaigned foryears for a cer-tain percentage ofEnglish to becomemandatory on signsacross Richmond.
“This is a goodstart,” said Starchuk,when asked aboutthe meeting.
“But where are the East Indians, the SouthKoreans? This, essentially, is a Chineseevent.”
Liu said before last week’s meeting howit’s incumbent upon city council and officials
to communicate in a language the growingChinese-speaking community understands.
However, Starchuk questioned who, inactual fact, is responsible for such an imbal-ance.
“It’s not the new immigrants, it’s the leader-ship (in government),” she said.
Starchuk did, however, think the event waspositive, but would like to see more ethnici-ties represented at the next meeting.
“How do we get these people speakingEnglish? If you’re motivated and make time, itcan happen,” she added.

New Mountie’s penmightier than the sword
Some old-fashioned police work was put togood use to help track down and appre-
hend a pair of men suspected of carrying outthree daylight robberies on the same day.
The first incident happened around 7 a.m.on Saturday, Feb. 27 near No. 4 and Cambieroads, when a lone woman was awaiting abus and a young, Caucasian male allegedlyapproached her and demanded her purse.
The woman refused and the suspect,perhaps spooked by a transit bus, fled in awhite SUV.
Fifteen minutes later, near Railway Avenueand Blundell Road, another lone woman hadher purse grabbed from behind.
She sustained injuries after allegedly beingdragged by the suspect while clutching herpurse. The suspects stole her purse and cellphone and fled in a white SUV.
The woman was taken to hospital and wastreated for non-life threatening injuries.
At around 2:30 p.m., near Blundell and No.2 roads, a Caucasian male suspect allegedlypulled up in a white SUV, exited alongsidea lone female and stole her purse. Two sus-pects fled the scene in the vehicle.
Noting the similar descriptions of the sus-pects and their vehicle, one of Richmond’snewest patrol officers, Const. Max Levshuk,spotted the suspect vehicle near Trites andNo. 2 roads.
“It was his first shift and he relied on someunconventional technology — an ordinarypen and the back of his hand as the paper,”said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang.
“Const. Levshuk had written the descriptionof the vehicle and licence plate on the back ofhis hand to help him identify (it) in the eventthat it was discovered during his shift.
“He was teamed with veteran officer Const.Calvin Leung, who is playing a big role inmentoring pro-active policing habits. Thepairing was pretty successful.”
Shortly before 5:30 pm, the white SUV wasspotted near Trites and No. 2 roads.
The vehicle was surrounded and officerstactically approached the vehicle.
One of the suspects fully complied withofficers and was arrested without incident.The second fled and, after a short foot chase,he was arrested in the 12000 block of TritesRoad. Const. Leung fractured a finger as aresult of apprehending the suspect.
“We are still investigating these cases, butthis is a good example of knowing the area,knowing where to look, and mentoring thenext generation of Richmond RCMP officers,”added Hwang.
Colton Buschau-Williams, 19, of Nanaimo,has been charged with three counts of rob-bery and two counts of possessing stolenproperty. Kyle Stalker, 26, of Richmond, hasbeen charged with one count of possession ofproperty obtained by crime and one count ofwilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer.

It’s just a boat, right?Nothing could be further from
the truth when it came to threevessels that were berthed in adry dock in Richmond.
The boats, all wooden andboasting 329 years of historybetween them, recently calledrestoration specialists Commo-dore’s Boats in east Richmondtheir home for a short while.
“It’s pretty rare to have hadall three of these wooden boatshere at the same time as they’reprobably the oldest of their kindin B.C.,” said Ryan Galovich,business development managerfor Commodore’s Boats at Shel-ter Island Marina, on GraybarRoad near Highway 91, on thefar east end of the south arm ofthe Fraser River.
One was built in 1903, one in1904 and the other in 1912.
The Providence, built in 1903in Norway, is believed to be theoldest of its kind in B.C., saidGalovich.
“The 1904, the Maple Leaf,is a schooner and is the old-est B.C.-built boat still floating;she’s been here for more thantwo months and will be here foranother week or two. She’s in for
a stern restoration,” explainedGalovich.
The Maple Leaf is a clas-sic, 92-foot schooner made ofcoastal Douglas fir and cedarand was, in its day, consideredthe west coast’s most expensiveyacht.
She was designed and built byWilliam Watts, a well-known Ca-nadian shipbuilder and designerat the time and was billed as themost expensive pleasure crafton the Pacific Coast. She was aprivate yacht for prominent busi-nessman Alexander Maclarenand wore sail #1 for the RoyalVancouver Yacht Club.
As well, she was the first shipnorth of San Francisco to haveelectric lights and carried hercrew and society guests into theGulf Islands and the fjords of theB.C. coast.
However, during the FirstWorld War, her lead keel andbrass were stripped for the wareffort. She was then converted toa halibut fishing vessel.
The 1912-built boat is theSwell, a former tugboat, whichonce starred in an episode ofthe CBC’s popular primetimeshow The Beachcombers. Theepisode, airing in October 1974,was called The Swell. She comesin and out for regular mainte-nance.

“As far as the (computer lab) isconcerned, who knows? It mightbe (improved) as part of the $5million.”
As well as the classroom ad-ditions, there will be revisions tothe parking lot and drop-off area,updates to building maintenancesystems and improvements tosidewalks, landscaping, perim-eter drains and water mains.
“With continued growth ex-pected in Richmond, I know howimportant this renovation is tothe community,” Bernier said ina released statement.
“Our partnership with theschool district will enhance theschool and give students thefoundation to succeed in today’schanging world.”
In the same release, Tablotney,said, “As the City of Richmondcontinues to grow and the demo-graphics of our community startto shift, we need to address thecondition and capacity limita-tions of our schools.”

Richmond Hospital Foundation CEONatalie Meixner banged the drums
once again in calling for a new acutecare tower, this time at a cake-cuttingceremony Friday to celebrate RichmondHospital’s 50th anniversary.
Meixner’s plea for a new tower wasmade in front of local politicians, includ-ing Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat,whose riding includes the hospital.
The special event was held one daybefore the true anniversary date, Feb.27, to mark the 1966 opening.
It was also held literally beneath thetower, which would likely collapse or facesignificant damage during a localizedearthquake over 6.0 on the Richterscale.
“While we celebrate the past, wecontinue to look forward to the future,”said Meixner.
“Our city’s growth has outpaced Rich-mond Hospital’s capacity. The highestpriority for Richmond is a new acutecare tower to address seismic risks andprovide adequate acute care beds.”
Wat praised hospital staff but stoppedshort of any sort of commitments for anew tower.
“I can assure you that together with(Richmond East MLA) Linda (Reid)and together with (Richmond-StevestonMLA), John (Yap) we’ll do our best toensure this hospital will be the best forthe many years to come,” said Wat.
She added that the provincial gov-ernment funded $67 million worth ofupgrades to the hospital from 2002 to2013 and added another $27 million re-cently, for items such as inpatient roomrenovations and heating and coolingsystem upgrades.
Wat said the Milan Ilich Pavilion atriumresembles that of a hotel and “maternitycare rooms are like hotel rooms.”
Meixner took back the podium afterseveral photos and reiterated her foun-dation’s concerns about the existingtower.
The foundation’s vice-chair, LilyKorstanje, a real estate marketer, alsovoiced concerns about the tower.
“It is seismically unstable, it is obsoleteand it is incapable of handling our ur-gent requirements,” said Korstanje, whoalso pointed out “most of the medicalequipment and resources are donor-funded.”
The event recognized Bob de Boer,the first person born in the hospital, onMarch 7, 1966.
Also at the event was Kerry Paterson,one of the daughter’s of Dr. Richard
Talmey, who helped galvanize supportfor the construction of the hospital in thelate 1950s.
“His legacy is the contributions to thecommunity. He moved into this commu-nity long before anything was here,” saidPaterson, noting her father, along withDr. John Varley and Dr. Doug Clement,performed minor surgeries from their of-fice, prior to the hospital being built.
While the hospital was deemed oneof the best in Canada when it opened,the foundation notes no other hospitalin B.C. has fewer acute care beds percapita. Meixner is concerned aboutRichmond’s growing seniors population,which will add even more demand to theovercrowded tower.
The foundation has stated it is willingto raise $40 million for a new tower thatwould cost about $283 million.

At the BC Supreme Court on Friday,Justice George Macintosh dismissed theapplication brought by WorkSafeBC againstSeattle Environmental Ltd., Mike Singh andShawn Singh because the Workers Com-pensation Act is too difficult to decipher.
WorkSafeBC had earlier argued that theSinghs were in contempt of court as a re-sult of breaching an order granted in 2012by Madam Justice Russell.
The Singhs, with Seattle Environmental,were accused of repeatedly and knowinglyexposing workers to asbestos and, thus, risk-ing their future health.
Seattle Environmental and the Singhsdenied the allegations and said, in court fil-ings, they were being discriminated againstby WorkSafeBC because they are Indo-Canadians.
The case may still not be over, as Work-SafeBC has announced that it’s reviewingFriday’s decision and may launch an appeal.
In a released statement, WorkSafeBC saidit was “committed to the safety of all workersand employers in (B.C.) and will continue itsefforts to reduce occupational disease andfatalities in the province.”
Contempt of court charges could have ledto fines or jail time or both.

Stay with RCMP: Chamber
Alan CampbellStaff [email protected]
Local businesses are largely opposed to ashift to a municipal police force, according
to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.“A common refrain was confusion regard-
ing the impetus to change to an independentmunicipal service. Because most membersdid not perceive any major problems with theRCMP,” noted a chamber news release.
The chamber surveyed its members and 79per cent of respondents (no total number wasgiven) indicated they were satisfied with theRichmond RCMP.
“Ultimately when members were askedwhat they felt the best path forward for Rich-
mond was, a clear majority favoured stayingwith the RCMP or investing the additionaloperating costs associated with a municipalforce into improvements provided by theRCMP,” noted the chamber.
The City of Richmond recently concludeda survey to assess public opinion on shiftingfrom the RCMP to a municipal force. One-time costs are estimated at close to $20 mil-lion and average annual operating costs are inthe range of $3 million more for a municipalforce. The benefits of a local force are saidto be better local control as the city’s mayorwould chair the police board.

Dear Editor,Re: “Policies on sponsorship,
LGBTQ reviewed,” News, Feb. 26.Some interesting comments from
school trustee Dr. Eric Yung, chairof the board of education’s policycommittee.
With emphasis on the diverse “cul-tural, linguistic and ethnic nature ofthe Richmond community,” noted inthe school district philosophy, Yungadds recognizing this demographicdiversity is important.
When Dr. Yung discusses the lackof gays/straight alliance clubs in thedistrict he has these comments, “Idon’t want to teach target identifica-tion.”
Doesn’t Dr.Yung understand thatLGBTQ students have already beentargeted and are suffering bullyingand, in some cases, violence?
This is the reason all of the LowerMainland Schools except two, Rich-mond being one of them, havethese gay/straight alliance clubs, tomake their schools safe, comfortableplaces for all students.
Does Dr. Yung not understand thatCanadian culture and secularism ismuch more important and valuablethan any of the myriad cultural andreligious practices that immigrantsbring to this country?
Unfortunately, while the progres-sive Lower Mainland districts keepimproving their schools for allstudents, Richmond, in Dr. Yung’swords, have to “fulfill the require-ments of the BC Human Rights Code.”

Dear Editor,Re: “Neighbourhood densification proposed,”
News, Feb. 26.Would any of our city city planners consider a town
house right on No. 3 Road a desirable housing optionfor them and their families? Better watch the kidspretty carefully when they are playing ball hockey inthe driveway and cars are blasting past at the usualRichmond urban speed of 70km/h or more.
How about this for a densification plan: rezone allresidential cul-de-sacs for townhouse redevelopment!Then families could again afford to live in our residen-tial areas and we would once more see kids playingball and riding their bikes on the safe and relativelycar-free streets in our neighbourhoods.
To think that we are paying these planners healthysalaries to come up with ideas that no one wouldactually want and put our kids at risk.

I believe the city has beenaccommodating enough toour Chinese community.Don’t get me wrong. I Iovethe Chinese and I love Chi-nese food.
However, it’s sad that thismeeting about public safetyhas been positioned as aproblem of not being able tovoice their concerns due tolanguage. So, do they wantto have Chinese translationon municipal signage and atcity hall meetings?
The solution is to learn thelanguage. Before I came toCanada, we were requiredto take and pass an Englishproficiency test.
Peter Liu even added thatit’s too much to expect newimmigrants to wait four orfive years to learn Englishbefore they can activelyengage with city council andlocal politics. Seriously?
When I was in Shanghai,one of the largest businessdistricts of China, I had toshow my hotel card for thetaxi driver to understandwhere my hotel was. I had toshow the server in the res-taurant a picture of the foodI wanted to order. I did notcomplain nor expect themto understand me. I was intheir home country, and Iknew I needed to adjust.

Dear Editor,Re: “Citizens, chamber sound
off over project,” News, Feb. 26.The City of Surrey recently put
out a news release stating “Cityof Surrey residents support thebridge.” The survey this state-ment was based on was con-ducted by Insights West on only600 pre-selected respondents,making it statistically unreliable atbest and intentionally deceptive atworst. Further, the only questionon the survey, “Do you supportconstruction of a bridge to replacethe Massey tunnel” does not offerthe alternative of expanding thetunnel, and there was no informa-tion about the cost of construct-ing a bridge versus the cost ofexpanding the tunnel.
Now, the Richmond Chamberof Commerce has made a similar
declaration based on a surveyof its members, using the exactsame question. Rob Akimow, ofthe Chamber, declares that 87per cent of decided respondentsfavour a bridge, but, again, an ex-panded tunnel was never offeredas an alternative.
Even discounting that, only 16per cent of the Richmond Cham-ber’s 1,000 members responded,which means that less than 160responded, and less than 140responded in favour of a bridgewithout the tunnel being offeredas an alternative.
Shame on the Chamber ofCommerce for producing suchfundamentally deceptive mediareleases.

Dear Editor,On February 4 you published an article
that was headlined “Richmond chambersupports bridge proposal.”
I must admit that this surprised me. Ithought that these were business people.If someone approached them with a hugedeal but refused to reveal any data whileproducing a business case with all thefigures blacked out, would they actually bereaching for their cheque book?
Are they really ready to sign up for a $3.5billion project where there is no information,no publicly available records of how thatdecision was reached? Can they actuallytrust a project which replicates two similarprojects — big bridges across the sameriver, built and run by a P3 and paid for bytolls — where the revenues have never yetcovered the operating costs let alone thedebt service?
Neither the Golden Ears nor the PortMann have got anywhere near their forecast
traffic projections, yet the Massey Tunnelreplacement bridge is going to be different?
There is nowhere that has actually solvedtraffic congestion by building wider roads.
And in this case, even the proponentsadmit that there will be much more trafficcoming into Richmond with no plan how toaccommodate that, and increased conges-tion at the Oak Street bridge. Does this new,huge bridge achieve anything more thanmore traffic?
And how does shifting a line-up of idlingcars from Delta to Richmond actuallyreduce greenhouse gases? How does re-moving the existing tunnel have absolutelyzero impact on the sensitive Fraser Riverecosystem?
Are the members of the Richmond Cham-ber of Commerce so gullible that they willactually buy a bridge from a con artist?

The officer called foran ambulance, but the fire truck gotthere first; he was able to contact meand several officers and the ambu-lance waited until I got there, so that Icould be informed as to what neededto be done.
Luckily, the incident was nothing se-rious and the member was dismissedfrom the hospital a few hours later. Iwant to express my appreciation andthanks to this officer and all those whodid their job in such a caring way.

The stage is set for a num-ber of school plays this
week in Richmond.An old classic will be on
tap for the public at Cambiesecondary school.
Drama teacher MeganPreston said 23 students willbe performing Shakespeare’sA Midsummer Night’s Dreamat Cambie’s theatre.
“It’s a great ensemblepiece and we have a lot ofGrade 12 students. This playreally showcases their tal-ent,” said Preston.
The comical tale of Athe-nian lovers and meddlingfairies will delight audiences,said Preston.
“It’s nice to see the teenag-ers commit to something,”added Preston, noting thestudents have invested about150 hours to the play andan additional crew of 10 hasadded similar hours, sinceOctober, outside of class.
“It’s challenging but thekids have done a wonderfuljob,” said Preston.
Grade 12 student ShawnGaw plays some comic reliefas Nick Bottom.
“It’s his personality. Shawnis good with improv and afunny guy,” said Preston.
Meanwhile, other Grade12 students have taken onsimilarly important roles asthey reach the end of theirhigh school acting days.
Grade 12 student ChelseaCastro plays Helena, a lover.
“She’s been in dramafor so long she’s a skilledactress. Her characteriza-tions and commitment tothe role and her focus aresuperb. Chelsea also does alot of back story (research)and character analysis and itcomes across on stage. Hervoice is so clear too,” notedPreston.
Brandon Choy, who playsPuck, is another notablestudent actor.
“He has a lot of big person-ality and Puck is the troublemaker in the story. AndBrandon has a great voicetoo,” said Preston.
Meanwhile, Prerna Kapoorplays Hermia, another lover.
“She’s been in drama for along time. When she’s not onstage she’s back stage andshe’s really dedicated,” saidPreston.
Not to be left off the longlist of accolades is the crew.
Preston noted senior stu-dents Katy Alcock and LaurieCagalawan, have “done morethan anybody.
“They’re always on call,remind the actors for re-hearsals, changing the lights,always on books, moppingthe stage; they make my life
so much easier.”Preston has created an
industrial style stage and thisyear it features scaffoldingto provide two levels, one forthe lovers and the other forthe fairies.
The play runs March 2-5,from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.Tickets are $7 for youth and$10 for adults (available bycalling 604-668-6430 oremailing Preston at [email protected]).

I have no living family and havenot prepared a Will. Do I need oneand what happens if I die withouta Will?
Q:
A:
Notary Public
This question comes up from time to time. If someonedies intestate, that is without leaving a valid Will,there is no legal way of knowing what your wishes areregarding the distribution of your estate. In the caseof an intestacy, the distribution and administration ofones‘ estate is governed by Provincial law. If someonedies without a Will, they have no legally appointedrepresentative to look after the affairs of their estate,so the court will appoint an Administrator to act onyour behalf, or, they can appoint the Public Trustee‘sOffice of B.C. to act on your behalf. In B.C., statute lawgoverns who will inherit someone‘s estate if they diewithout a Will.If you die without a Will and you have no survivingnext-of-kin, your estate will escheat or pass to theCrown in right of the Province. So make a Will, and atthe very least, leave everything to charity.

Should I include a motion detection devicein my alarm system?Q:
A:
Jeff RothbergCOMMANDALARM SYSTEMS
(604) 272-4888
In most cases it is indeed prudent to include a motion sensor aspart of your complete system. In a properly designed system, anyvulnerable perimeter doors and windows would have contacts toprotect against opening. Motion detectors would then be placed incentral areas intended as “back-up” in the event the perimeter iscircumvented.This can happen if a perimeter contact fails to function,or if an intruder gains access through an unprotected openingoriginally thought to be an unlikely point of entry, or breaking a fixedpane of glass and crawling in, or even using a window left open.
Most basic motion sensors are suitable for home applications.Passive-infrared (PIR) motion sensors operate by detecting andreacting to a thermal shift in the ambient temperature of a room,hopefully caused by a person’s movement.
There are also dual-technology sensors combining both infraredand micro-wave sensoring which can be utilized to handle hostileenvironments. It is important to try and install the device so as toavoid conditions that would create a nuisance alarm, while stillmaximizing the field of view.
Conditions such as drafts and reflected sunlight can create a falsetrigger. Pet-immune motion sensors are designed to ignore smalltargets anywhere from 25 lbs, up to 100 lbs, depending on thespecific unit. But there are limitations to their use.
All modern alarm systems will allow you to automatically bypassany interior motion zones while arming the perimeter, giving you fullfunctionality. If designed and installed correctly, motion detectors cangive your system a distinct advantage. And I say all this with a senseof e-motion. If you know what I mean...

What is the Appraisal Report orderingprocess at your local Bank/Credit Union?
Q:An appraisal management company (AMC) is a business entity that administers
a network of qualified and Appraisal Institute of Canada Designated appraisers (CRA orAACI) to fulfill real estate appraisal assignments on behalf of mortgage lending institutions.
Beginning back in 2002 in Canada a Nationwide Appraisal Management company out ofToronto took hold and was commissioned by one of the major financial mortgage insurers inCanada. It was not until 2008 until one of the major banks contracted with that same AMC.
Today, 95% of all financial institutions in Canada are contracting through an AMC alloriginating out of Toronto to provide financial appraisal services to lenders on a Nationalbasis. Gone are the days of the local appraiser meeting and dealing directly with clients atthe local Credit Union or Bank.
One of the major attractions of the AMC vehicle in the eyes of financial institution is theoptics of separating the appraiser from the lender or broker and the previous perceptionof undue influence in the valuation process. Also attractive is the Centralized and Nationalbilling which the AMC provides the bank. No longer do the banks need staff to pay the800,000 to 1,500,000 appraisal invoices supplied by appraisers across Canada whichcarry huge organization costs, time, money and ultimately outsourced staff savings.
The customer walks into the BANK or CREDIT UNION and the local lender then is contractedto send the local appraisal assignment back to Toronto where one of four major AMC’s willregister the assignment, organize and then dispatch to an appraisal located somewherein the Greater Vancouver Area. The local lender used by the local borrower may see aChilliwack Appraiser for example visiting a Richmond property as the Personal Bankershave no control usually over which appraiser firm is chosen to perform the valuation. Thatdecision is made in Toronto by computers and staff unfamiliar with the local neighbourhoodand regional landscape.
AMC’s became popular in the U.S. around the time that the global financial meltdown tookplace in 2007/2008.

Why are my window sills wet in the winter,and what can I do about it?Q:
A:
Sean Moss RHI, CMISean Moss Home &Mold Inspections
(604) 729-4261
OUR HOMEWORK ISYOUR PROTECTION
There are a few reasons for this. First… the window is the coldestsurface of the home. Cold surfaces cannot hold moisture. So…whenthe cool air around the window makes contact with the window frameand warmer inside air, condensation forms. This also happens becauseof high indoor humidity & poor ventilation.Older, metal framed windows are most problematic for condensation,which is why they are all being replaced.When left alone, this condition will cause moisture damage to thewindows sills, and mold will grow. (Mold grows on surfaces when thereis a moisture, moderate temperatures and organic food sources – suchas dust, dirt, debris, etc.)So what can I do about this?• Install double/triple pane, low E, vinyl windows• If you cannot replace your windows, each morning,wipe away the condensation• Use proper ventilation when you cook, shower, wash clothing & dishes• Maintain a warm dry indoor temperature• Keep the windowsills frames & weep holes clean - remove all dust,debris dirt, etc.• Move plants away from windows. If you have a lot of plantsbuy a dehumidifier• Monitor and regulate the indoor humidity with a hygrometer (It shouldbe less than 55%)• Open windows daily & for short periods of time, except when it israining or foggy outside• Don’t hang dry your clothing, use the dryerFor more information on this topic or anything about home & moldinspections, feel free to contact me and I’ll help you out.
Immediate dentures are always best, unlessthere is so much mobility in your teeth thattaking an impression may cause an accidentalextraction when the impression is removed. Theimmediate denture will act as a band aid as wellas to help reshape the bone to a kinder morerounded form, rather than leaving the sharpedges that are formed by the circumference ofthe extraction socket. Follow up must be done byyour dental practitioner in order to keep up withthe changing shape as the bone and tissue heal.If you have extractions done and the dentureis made after a period of couple months thenthe bone from the circumference of the sockethas prematurely healed and is now standingup. When a denture is placed on the tissues,the bone from underneath now stabs you fromthe inside out. There is one way that you can dothe latter method. Once your initial wound sitehas closed, then you must massage the bonetogether towards the center of gum. This will tellthe body that the bonemust reshape to a roundershape.

A: Home buyers are often confused by this question, and are steered in differentdirections depending on who they rely on. Having a good or a bad inspectionexperience will definitely influence your decision when you are excited aboutpurchasing a home. Just remember…..Buyer beware! If you do not take thetime and effort to do your due diligence before you buy, you take responsibilityfor what you buy.
A home inspection can cost $350 to $1000’s of dollars, depending on whatyou need (pool inspection, a furnace or solar system check will be an additionalcost, but can save you $$$$ in the future)
The answer is really quite simple. If you are comfortable doing your owninspection, then do it. It is totally your choice. If you are not, then ask forrecommendations from your sphere and your Realtor®, and pick someone thatyou feel is a good fit for you. Check their credentials, book the appointmentand attend the inspection. Many inspectors do not check appliances, so makesure that happens.
You will learn where the water/gas shut-offs are, about the electrical paneldetails, roof condition, is there asbestos? Is there evidence of mice? and somuch more. An inspector cannot cut holes in the walls, or see inside sealedareas, but they have tools like moisture meters that allow them to take readingsof the levels of moisture in questionable areas. Make sure you understand whatthey are doing, and why.
If you choose your buyer’s agent wisely, the home inspectors your agentrecommends are most likely of the same caliber as the agent. No reputable realestate agent will withhold information from a buyer or induce a third-party Sellerto withhold information. If you have any questions, ask them prior to removingyour ‘subject to inspection’. Anything that changes your contract needs to be inwriting and signed by all parties before subject removal.

Should I pay for a professionalhome inspection before I purchase?Q: Q:What does the average funeral cost?
A: Like other professional services (legal,dental, medical) the costs depend on
the services, merchandise and final dispositionmethod that the family chooses.
Each service planned is as unique as the familythat makes the arrangements. The same can besaid for cemetery products.
There are many variables and options that thefamily can chose from. Only when all options arepresented, can a cost be determined.
By provincial law, all funeral providers must supplyan itemized copy of their price list to the consumer.

I have had llings placed in my mouth tostop cavities from growing larger. How doI stop more cavities from happening?In order for cavities to occur, there are generally 3 factors thatneed to present. The rst and most important is the presenceof a cavity bacteria called strep mutans; the second is thesource of food for these bacteria, which is sugar; and the thirdis a susceptible host environment. If we make some changesto each of these 3 causative factors, the incidence of futurecavities is reduced.
The rst step is to decrease the cavity-causing bacteria byensuring there are no current cavities in your mouth. This isdone by removing the cavities with llings.
If we create an alkaline (higher pH) environment in yourmouth, the bacteria will starve since they need an acidic(lower pH) environment to grow. Changing what you eat anddrink will effect this in a positive way, simply by reducing theamount of sugars (acidic environment) you ingest.
The natural process of ageing and many medicines decreasethe amount of saliva in your mouth. Saliva is naturallyalkaline (higher pH) and creates a negative environment forcavity bacteria. Therefore, increasing saliva ow is benecialto your mouth.
There are a few simple ways in which to win the battle againstcavities. Topical uoride from toothpastes strengthens theteeth andmakes it harder for bacteria to attack teeth. Flossinghelps by disrupting the bacteria between teeth from formingtheir colonies. Using adjuncts such as xylitol lozenges/gumstarves the cavity causing bacteria.
I was in your store and looking at your banknotes andthere were a lot of terms that I did not understand.
What are RADARs, replacements and low numbered notes?Q:
Jim RichardsonWestern Coin &Stamp

#2-6380 No. 3 Rd.Richmond, B.C.
Email:[email protected]
Every profession has its own terms they use and ours is no exception. This month Iwill list and explain as many of the terms used for banknotes as I can. Next month Iwill do the same for coins.
Low numbered notes are bills with serial numbers below 500. The most expensive number is 0001and they sell for around $1,000.00 each. For each number after that the value diminishes untilabout # 500 where there is no premium above the collector price of a regular note.A solid number is a note where all the numbers are the same, such as 11111, 22222 etc. Mostsolids in new condition also sell for $1,000.00 and up. However for Canadian notes with 7 digits inthe serial number if only 6 are the same with 1 different they only retail for $20.00 approximately.RADARs are notes where the serial number reads the same forwards as backwards, such as1234321 or 1125211. A solid is also a form of RADAR. RADARs with only 2 different numbers inthe serial number are worth more than ones that have 3 or 4. Canadian notes can only have up to4 different numbers in them but American can have 5 different.Replacement notes occur when a bill is damaged during printing. Banknotes are printed in sheets500 deep (used to be sheets of 40, now 32) and with their numbers jumping 500 as you go acrossthe sheet. To keep the counts in stacks consistent with the printings, a replacement note is insertedfor every damaged banknote.From the 1950s up to the 1970s these replacement notes were identified by an asterisk (*)in front of the serial number prefix. In the late 1970s and 1980s an X as the third letter inthe serial number prefix (ex. ABX or EBX) identified a replacement. These are all very collectableand prices are determined not only by the condition but by the prefix letters of the bill.Some prefixes are much scarcer than others.Last are Test notes. These are issued to test different papers and how they wear during circulation.For the 1954 notes, only $2 notes had test versions and their prefix are E/R, G/R and S/R. Thesetest notes range from $35 to$10,000 dollars. For the 1972 $5 the test note prefix is RS. Notethat only a specific range in these prefix’s are actual test notes. For the 1973 $1 bill all prefix’sAXA and EXA are test notes.JIM

The answer would have to be issues created by thepeople who preceded us. In fully half the cases theevidence has already been tampered with and/ordestroyed unwittingly by the IT department. Often weare called in much too late as company managers triedto find solutions to issues they are not qualified orexperienced to answer. In far too many cases we comeinto an impossible situation and we have to walk away.
The other biggest problems we have are with cloudbased computing and outsourced IT. Evidence gatheringin such an environment is fraught with legal issues andis expensive for all concerned. Do you think that justbecause it is your data on someone else’s computersthat you get to see the logs? Or the logs even existat all? Think again, and think lawyers, expensive ones,often in another country.
If you are investigating a person or persons in BC youneed training and a license, and for good reasons.

Why does my insurance cost always go up fromyear to year?Q:
A:
Thomas ForbesInsurance Broker
Mardon Insurance Brokers
#145-3900 Steveston Highway,Richmond, BC V7E 2K1
Of all of the questions we receive this is probably the mostcommon one and the truth of the matter is simple; almostevery insurance policy (business and home policies) hasa built in feature called ‘Inflation Guard’.
The Inflation Guard feature protects the reconstructionvalue of a building and or contents to ensure the propertycan be replaced at current prices, i.e. if a policy andproperty was purchased in 1980 and and the limit wasnever changed over the years and a claim occurred in2016 the amount of insurance or limit would be in 1980values. As we all know, in general the cost of materials,labour and over all construction costs do not go down butthey do go up. So the reality is that although the costof insurance does generally marginally increase so doesthe amount of insurance available to customers and thisfactor is designed to protect the best interests of clients.A typical inflation factor for many policies is 3% of theinsured limit. As always, we are happy to answer questionson this or any insurance topic.

How can chiropractors help topromote health?
First we should look at what the definition of health is, and according toDorland’s Medical Dictionary, “health is a state of optimal physical, mental and socialwell being”, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. We cannot base ourhealth on the absence of symptoms alone. For example, disease processes can beongoing in the body without symptoms, we can see this with tooth decay, high bloodpressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc.
A more constructive thought presented by Hanse Selye was “the ability of your body toaccurately interpret and appropriately adapt to lifestyle stresses” is what determinesour level of health. The spine and nervous system are what control your body’s abilityto interpret and respond to its surroundings. As chiropractors, our job is to reduceor eliminate interference to the nervous system by detecting and correcting spinalsubluxations, misalignments in the spine. Subluxations may be present withoutsymptoms such as pain, muscle tension, numbness or tingling being expressed.However, there is still nerve compression or irritation affecting the nerves whereverthey travel; muscles, ligaments, or organ systems.
The affected regions will not be functioning at their optimum. Chiropractors removeinterference to the nervous system by providing adjustments to correct subluxations.When we do this, the body is in a better position to express its optimal health and adaptto its environment. We often treat our teeth better than our spines by getting regulardental check-ups, yet it is our spine which houses our nervous system that controlsour entire body.We need to make getting our spines checked for proper function a partof our lifelong journey towards better health regardless of our expression of symptoms.Contact us for your complimentary consultation.

How do tankless water heaters work, and howlong do they last?
Tankless water heaters work on demand – they only heatwater when necessary. When a hot water fixture is openedor hot water is required by an appliance, the water heaterwill sense the demand and heat water accordingly. Instead ofwasting energy and money re-heating and storing water whenit is not needed, tankless water heaters provide only as muchhot water as needed. Tank type water heaters store and heatwater at all times, thus incurring higher operating costs. Theyhave a limited supply of hot water and will run out of hot waterwhile tankless water heaters provide an unlimited supply of hotwater – you will never run out. The size of a residential tanklesswater heater is about the size of a carry on suitcase and witha few exceptions, can be installed virtually anywhere insideyour home. Using a tankless water heater will allow a home touse up to 50% less energy for heating water, which can savehundreds of dollars per year. Tankless water heaters can last20 or more years, which by todays manufacturing standards,is 2-3 times longer than a traditional tank type heater.Apply now for your Fortis Rebate and save up to $500.00.

Q: I am starting to notice myhair getting thinner!What can I do?Hair thinning, or alopecia, can be a concern formany adults as we age. There are two generaltypes of alopecia: 1) Androgenic alopeciawhich is related to excessive breakdown oftestosterone and 2) Reactive alopecia whichis the deregulation of the hair life cycle thatcan result from nutrient imbalance, increasedstress, hormonal changes, and even as a sideeffect of medications.
One of the `rst steps in treating hair loss isreplenishing with the right nutrients. This isbecause hair follicles require many nutrientsfrom the blood stream to grow. To do this, I`rst recommend Phytophanere, a multivitaminspeci`c for hair and nails. This vitamin providesmuch needed vitamin Bs, biotin, and borageseed oil to stimulate hair growth. The secondproduct I recommend is Metagenics EPA-DHAhigh concentrate liquid, a high dosage omega3 that helps improve hair thickness and texture.The Metagenics EPA-DHA liquid is uniquebecause one teaspoon provides as muchomega-3 as up to 18 salmon oil capsules.
Topically, external hair treatments can alsohelp boost hair root growth and provide anti-radical protection. For females, a hair serumcalled Phytocyane uses Ginkgo Biloba toincrease micro-circulation to the hair folliclesand grape seed procyanidins to combat freeradicals to treat reactive alopecia. For men,Phytolium 4 serum contains a topical enzymecalled 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, which cancounter the detrimental effect of testosteronebreakdown on hair loss. With repeated use,hair should feel thicker and fuller.

Crusaders returning to provincial AA championshipsIt was a roller-coaster week of emotions for the CambieCrusaders at the Lower Mainland AA Boys BasketballChampionships.The bottom line is they are heading back to the provincial
tournament for the second straight year. They just wish it wasas defending Lower Mainland champions.Cambie came ever-so-close to repeating the feat, falling 70-
67 to St Pats in an electric atmosphere at the Olympic Oval.Both schools were out in full force to take in this game —
with boisterous supporters cramming around the secondarycourt at the championships. School spirit is indeed live at wellat Cambie and savouring arguably the best stretch for seniorboys basketball since the school converted to Grades 8-12two decades ago.It was just before tip-off the Crusaders learned their trip to
the Langley Events Centre in two weeks was secured. KingGeorge’s win over RC Palmer insured Cambie would get noworse than the Lower Mainland No. 2 berth. Still, they weren’tinterested in heading to the provincials through the backdoor.
With numerous lead changes throughout the night, theCrusaders just couldn’t protect the basketball when they reallyneeded to against St. Pats’ relentless pressure defence. TheVancouver private school finally seized the lead for good in thelast two minutes.“Give them credit. They are a feisty team,” said Cambie
head coach Chris Mattu “We just didn’t take care of the ball.Turnovers really hurt us. Limit those and I think it would be adifferent story.”It was also a lesson learned for a young Crusaders team
with just two starting Grade 12s — Riley Paulik and TarnDhaliwal. Both were named to the all-star team, while only aCambie win prevented Paulik from earning the MVP award.The Crusaders advanced to the championship game with abig 73-63 over No. 1 seed King George.“We came in here as the fourth seed and no one expected
us to beat King George,” added Mattu. “Our boys competedand we believed. Now it’s time to make some noise at provin-cials.”

done everything from game an-nouncing to scorekeeping over theyears, will not be available whenthe tournament tips-off March 9 atthe Langley Events Centre (LEC).He has a championship calibreteam to coach.His Steveston-London Sharks
will be riding a huge wave of mo-mentum to the season’s biggeststage after a dominating perfor-mance at the Lower Mainland AAAChampionships. The Sharks werethe class of the 16-team tourna-ment, capping a perfect three-game run with a 76-65 win overSt. Thomas More in Friday’s titlegame at the Richmond OlympicOval.It’s hard to remember this is all
such new territory for the Ste-veston-London program.Sure, the Sharks were consid-
ered the pre-season favourite inRichmond and earned their first-ever provincial ranking. But they
were also just a year removed fromfinishing eighth in city play andbeing bounced in the first round ofthe playoffs. Now, they have clearlyestablished themselves as one ofthe teams to beat at the LEC witha dazzling 23-1 record since Jan.1.“This is new territory for me,”
smiled Stoneburgh. “There’s go-ing to be a lot of phone calls to(good friend and longtime coach)Paul Eberhardt and some othercoaches too over the next coupleof weeks. It’s a learning curvefor me but it’s still just coachingbasketball. I will prepare myselfthe same way for like every othergame and that’s breaking downour opponents, come up with agame plan and get our guys ready.“I’m so proud of my guys right
now and I just hope they enjoythis experience. I never got to thisas a player and I’m living this as acoach now. It’s like a dream.”After a strong second half earned
the Sharks an 80-63 semi-finalwin against Windermere, they nextfaced a St. Thomas More squadthat was playing its best basketballof the season.The Knights blasted McMath 98-
56 in the quarter-finals and were18 points better than No. 4 rankedByrne Creek in their semi-final
tilt. As dominant as the BurnabyCatholic school had looked, theyhad yet to deal with Sharks’ Grade11 force Fardaws Aimaq.The 6-foot-9 standout was
a one-man wrecking crew asSteveston-London jumped out to a24-12 first quarter lead.The Sharks took a 44-27 advan-
tage into the second half when theKnights mounted a couple of runs
to twice pull within single digits.However, whether it was anotherkey basket in the paint from Aimaqor a deep three from AhmedMohamud, the Richmond champsalways had comfortable breath-ing room. Aimaq finished with 32points to nail down tournamentMVP honours. He added 38 theday before against Windermere.“He is a special player and might
be one of the toughest to guardin the province right now,” con-tinued Stoneburgh. “I was kind ofshocked they started the game byplaying one-on-one defence onhim. Fardaws can hit his shots andbeat you up down low too.”City MVP Nigel Boyd added to hishardware collection with a FirstTeam All-Star selection. Mohamudwas named to the Second Team.

While most B.C. drivers are honestwhen it comes to making insuranceclaims, there are a few that arehurting things for the rest of us inthe province.
Industry studies estimate that about10 to 20 per cent of all insuranceclaims contain an element of fraudor exaggeration. Applying thoseestimates here means fraud iscosting us up to $600 million peryear, or more than $100 annually onevery auto insurance policy.Fraud cheats everyone and comes inall shapes and sizes.
Some fraud is organized andorchestrated by a group of individuals,namely, staged accidents and stolenvehicle rings.
Other types of fraud are lessobvious. Fraud like this includesexaggerating the extent of an injury,misrepresenting a previous medicalcondition or slanting the situationwhen reporting a claim. It�s notunheard of for people to embellish
their claim by including vehicledamage unrelated to the crash, or toclaim they can�t work when they�reactually back on the job. These tacticsmay not make the news, but the costsadd up and come out of all of ourpockets � we all end up paying forthose who cheat the system.
ICBC combats fraud with their SpecialInvestigation Unit, which last yearlooked at more than 5,000 claimsHles. This includes a cyber unitthat employs information publiclyavailable on the internet and socialmedia to investigate suspectedfraudulent claims. They�re in theprocess of increasing their focus oninvestigations, including trainingand analytics technology that Gagspatterns and predictors of fraud.
By stepping up efforts to reducefraudulent and exaggerated claims,along with managing injury claimscosts, ICBC is working to takepressure off rising insurance rates.
Fraud. It cheats us all.

FRAME, Thomas M.
September 19, 1957 − February 24, 2016
Thomas (Tom) (Scoby) Murdoch Frame
It is with tremendously heavy hearts that weannounce the sudden and unexpected passing ofTom Frame, from Coldstream, B.C., as a result ofan aortic dissection.
Tom was predeceased by his beloved fatherLorne, mother Lorraine, and two brothers Ron andBill. Tom is survived by Barbara, his loving wife andbest friend of 28 years, his sons Thomas and Nolan(of whom he was immensely proud), his brothersDave Frame (Nicole), Toronto, ON, Gregor Frame(Paivi) and Jim Frame, Richmond, B.C. and hissisters−in−law Mary Ann McIntyre (Lawrie) andKathryn Wilkinson (Ross). He was an inspiring manwho will also be greatly missed by his nieces,nephews and cousins.
Tom grew up in Richmond, B.C. and was the 5thyoungest of 6 boys. In Tom’s youth he was ahockey goalie for the Junior A Richmond Sockeyes.He then received a full hockey scholarship fromColorado College, where he successfullycompleted a degree in business management. InTom’s later years he skillfully played old timerhockey, masters lacrosse and golf. He greatlyvalued, enjoyed and was extremely successful inhis work as Senior Account Manager for his longtime employer, MIP Inc., based out of Montreal. Hiskind, gentle, outgoing, humorous character andunwaveringly positive nature will be greatly missedby his family, all of his countless friends and workcolleagues. Tom was an exceptional man of theworld and had travelled extensively to many farflung, interesting and exotic places. However,three of his favorite places were in his kayak onKalamalka Lake, on the slopes of Silver StarMountain and anywhere at all with his family. In thewords of a friend "Tom was an exceptional person;everything a man should be and most of us fail tobe." As Tom would often say at the end of aconversation: "Love You! Standing By!"
"How lucky I am to have had something that makessaying goodbye so hard."
