An ingenious, green-minded plan to clear-cut an unsightly vacant city centre propertyhas fallen foul of Richmond’s animal controlbylaw.
Landscaper Sandy Chappell was calledin the spring by a developer to hack back aparcel of land adjacent to McDonald’s restau-rant on Alderbridge Waythat was overgrown with15-feet high blackberrybushes and thick bamboo.
Chappell used heavymachinery to get the workdone in July, but by theend of a long, hot summerand a wet late August, a lot of vegetation hadgrown right back.
So Chappell, who also keeps a 60-strongherd of sheep on three acres of land in theCambie Road area, came up with an environ-mentally-friendly solution — send his sheepout to graze.
“I’ve been doing these clear-cutting thingsfor years and years,” said Chappell.
“But, instead of using heavy dieselmachinery again, I thought it would be agreat idea to put some sheep in and havethem eat the rest instead.
“This used to be a farm after all; the foun-dations of the barn are still there and this isgood, agricultural land.”
Chappell insisted there’s plenty of naturalshelter on the land for the sheep under largetrees. “They prefer to sleep outside anyway,”he added.
Chappell was asked by the landowner,Modern International Holdings — which hasapplied to rezone the land from auto-orientedcommercial to build a nine-storey hotel — to
cut the vegetation back, after being orderedto do so by the city in May.
However, it claims they had no knowledgeof the landscaper’s novel, green plan to keepthe weeds down.
And as inventive as Chappell’s plan is,it contravenes just about every single subsection of the city’s bylaw on the control ofdomestic farm animals.
As such, the city has ordered him to gethis sheep off the property as quickly as pos-sible or face fines.
City spokesperson Kim Decker, whileacknowledging the tactic was unusual, saidthe bylaws are in place to protect the welfare
of the animals and the public.“I thought, seeing as the city is going on
about being green all the time, this was anenvironmentally-friendly way to clear the restof the property,” said Chappell on Friday.
“It would take the sheep, Barbados inbreed, about six weeks or so to eat throughthe juicy bushes and grass on offer.
“They’ve already made a dent in it in justtwo days.
“There’s some really difficult weeds to getrid of here and they’ve already chewed themright down.”
The sheep, said Chappell, get some “greatnatural food, the owner gets the property
cleared and the environment doesn’t suffer;everyone wins.
“And I think people would love to seesheep grazing in the middle of the city cen-tre, especially on an otherwise vacant pieceof land, something to look at for a change.”
Chappell said ultimately, he hopes togrow his herd to around 400 and get intolambing.
“But I also have this idea to start up arent-a-sheep business for people who needthis kind of thing done,” he said, adding hegot the idea from Europe.
“I think it would be a great idea in thiscity and very, very green.”

Landscaper Sandy Chappell thought hehad the perfect solution for clearing a parcelof overgrown land next door to McDonald’s— sheep. Unfortunately, his plan contravenesjust about every sub section of the city’s bylawon the control of domestic farm animals.

Disgustingdriver abuse
A young woman was subjected to a torrentof abuse and was even spat at after parkinglegally in a disabled parking spot.
A shocked Brenda Cheng, 23, told the Newshow she dropped her able-bodied mom offFriday on No. 3 Road out-side Shoppers Drug Mart atRichmond Centre.
Her mom then walkedinside the mall to pick upCheng’s 13-year-old autisticand epileptic brother, Richard.
But when Cheng pulled into one of the dis-abled spots outside Shoppers and placed thedisabled permit on the dash, she was stunned asto what happened next.
“My driver’s window was halfway downand I could see this man, aged about 50 to 60,pointing at me and muttering stuff,” recalledCheng. “He kept muttering about me taking upa disabled spot or something and pointing andhe started to get closer, so I rolled up the win-dow as he was kinda scaring me.
“He then walked right up and spat a hugechunk of saliva on my window.”
Cheng said the man, who was relatively welldressed in a polo shirt and trousers, then walkedaway very fast and jumped into a nearby car.
The stunned woman jumped out of her carand started taking pictures of the offender as hedrove out of the parking lot.
“He looked at me smiling and laughingand gave me the finger. He then high-fivedthe woman sitting next to him in the car,” saidCheng.
“It was very bizarre behaviour and obviouslydisgusting, as well.”
Another witness to the shocking incidentmanaged to take down the man’s licence plate,which Cheng intends to hand over to the police.
“I don’t get it. Why would you behave likethat, all angry and stuff, then be smiling andlaughing the next moment?” questioned Cheng.
“He looked like a regular white guy.”Cheng said, thankfully, neither her brother
nor mom witnessed the incident.This story is generating comments on the

A consumer watchdog has paid out almost$70,000 to customers after a travel firm went bustovernight.
Consumer Protection BC refunded a total of 44claims — affecting 72 people — resulting fromthe collapse in April of Alameda Travels Ltd inAdmiralty Centre in the Cambie business district.
Another 22 claims worth around $40,000,involving 37 people, remain outstanding. However,some of them may not get paid out due to a lack ofproof of payment.
Compensation payments come out of the watch-dog’s BC Travel Assurance Fund.
A peculiar aspect of the investigation was thefact that the majority of the customers paid fortheir flights and/or vacations in cash.
“It is a little bit different to see so many cashtransactions,” said Manjit Bains, vice president ofcorporate relations for Consumer Protection BC,which is responsible for enforcing consumer lawand issues travel firm licences across the province.
“I’m not sure why that was; maybe it’s just theculture of the area. But I would always recommendusing a credit card if possible as most credit cardcompanies will refund in this instance.”
At the time, one News reader, Tingting Yao,accused Alameda’s owner, Deanna Leung, of doc-toring a cheque she’d made out to the company.
When looking at her bank statement, Yaonoticed the name on the cheque had been changedfrom the company’s to the owner’s.
However, the RCMP probed the firm’s suddenclosure in May, but found no cause for a criminalinvestigation at the firm on McKim Way, justsouthwest of the Cambie and Garden City roads
intersection.No website was ever listed for the firm, but
their office window suggested it specialized intrips to Thailand and Hong Kong.
Bains told the News how the company has nowlost its $15,000 security, which every firm pays inorder to be licensed.
“We would always urge people to book througha licensed agency and you can check on ourwebsite who is actually licensed,” added Bains.“I would also urge people to always get proof ofpayment, no matter what you use to pay for yourservices.”
Alameda is the fourth licensed travel firm to gounder this year. Consumer Protection BC has paidout a total $142,000 from the travel fund so far thisyear, compared with last year’s $187,000.
Since 2004, more than $1.1 million has beenpaid out from the fund, benefiting some 1,462consumers.
For more information, on the BC TravelAssurance Fund and licensed agencies, log ontowww. consumerprotectionbc.ca.
Consumer Protection BC offers the followingtips:
1. Pay with a credit card. Be cautious if a travelagency only accepts cash as a form of payment.
2. Keep proof of payment documentation. Askfor (and keep!) documentation for your travel ser-vices. This could include receipts, contracts, itiner-aries, boarding passes, hotel vouchers and more.
3. Research the limitations of the TravelAssurance Fund. It’s important to know that theTravel Assurance Fund doesn’t cover purchasesmade by gift certificate, damage deposits, dissat-isfaction with the quality of service and circum-stances beyond the control of the supplier (such asnatural disasters, bad weather and more).

A Richmond acupuncturist whoallegedly over-billed the provincialmedical system for close to $2 mil-lion and was suspended by the Collegeof Traditional Chinese MedicinePractitioners and Acupuncturists ofB.C. could face being fined and struckoff its list.
Earlier this year, Dr. Mubai Qiu,who runs Mu Bai Enterprise Corp. onOdlin Cresc., was under investigationafter the CTCMA became aware ofhis claim of treating more than 461patients in a single day in his smallclinic.
He was suspended on July 26.In the CTCMA’s reason for judge-
ment released last week, it stated Qiufailed to maintain adequate clinicalrecords to document patient history,and engaged in excessive mis-billing
with insufficient evidence to supportthat acupuncture services were pro-vided to patients covered by MSP andprivate insurers.
The CTCMA hired a private inves-tigator in March to monitor activitiesat Qiu’s clinic and on several occasionsnoted very little traffic in and out ofthe premises at a time when up to twodozen patients a day were recordedas receiving services billed to privateinsurers.
Other evidence from a formerpatient’s testimony indicated theyreceived limited services, yet wererecorded as having been treated on10 occasions from January to March2012.
Thi Tran testified she visited theclinic in hopes of relieving back painand declined acupuncture treatment.She was then asked to sign a set of 10treatment records that already had hername and personal health care number.
In addition, the CTCMA presentedanother individual, Mathew Nguyen,who had never even been to the clinicor received any acupuncture treat-ments, with a document purported tobe a treatment record.
It contained his name, correct per-sonal health care number, date of birth,address, phone number and a false sig-nature. The document claimed the indi-vidual had undergone 10 treatmentsfrom January to February 2012.
Further evidence showed onepatient, Huong Thi Nguyen, whoseEnglish was limited, was told to sign aform 10 times in order to receive freemedication for her son’s knee problem.
Nguyen was allegedly told her sondid not need to visit the office in per-son.
She identified her signature on thedocument, but conceded she couldn’tread English and didn’t know what

Unionized non-teaching staffand their employer, the BC PublicSchool Employees’ Association(BCPSEA), gear up to enter anotherround of negotiations early nextweek after parties reached animpasse Monday.
On the one side, work-ers want a four per centincrease over two yearswithout concessions, whilegovernment is offering thesame increase, but with con-cessions.
“If it continues like this, we’llhave no option but job action,” saidJune Kaiser, president of CUPE 716,which represents Richmond work-ers. “We don’t want to. We’re mak-ing very little money now and withjob action we’ll make even less. Butwe’re not standing for this anymore.”
Education assistants haven’treceived a wage increase since 2009,according to Kaiser, despite inflationand the ever-rising cost of living inB.C.
The latest proposal by the gov-ernment included cuts to paid sicktime by two thirds and sick daypay by 15 per cent for the newestemployees in order to make up forthe wage increases.
Workers currently have 18 sickdays per year, according to Kaiser.
That would go down to six.“Our sick bank is
sacrosanct to us,” shesaid, adding workershaven’t gone on strike in13 years.
“We’re sufferinghere. Some of us areusing the food bank,
more people have to work two jobs.On top of that, it’s difficult attractingpeople to the profession.”
She added teachers have saidthey won’t cross the picket line if itcomes to job action.
Workers and the BCPSEA returnto the bargaining table next Mondayto Wednesday.
As negotiations continue,Minister of Education PeterFassbender sent a letter to schoolboard chairs requesting secretary
treasurers develop a cost savingsplan to fund wage increases for sup-port staff. The Richmond SchoolBoard responded with an open letterto the ministry (see Choice Words onpage 8), saying such a request wouldforce the board to make significantcuts to schools.
“With the letter, we wanted thepublic to know we will be doing thisbecause we have been instructed todo so, but it means we will have tomake cuts to staff and services,” saidboard chair Donna Sargent, thoughshe couldn’t specify what would becut first.
If the government agrees toa four per cent increase withoutconcessions next week, it’ll be upto school boards to find the extramoney through cost savings.
Although Sargent hasn’t receivedmuch feedback from Richmondschool district staff and parents, theboard’s letter was one of the mostread stories on the News’ website.
“In developing the cost savingsplan, the secretary treasurers candetermine what they feel are coreeducation services they don’t want
cut and can bring that to the tableto be reviewed,” said a ministryspokesperson.
The ministry added the govern-ment has been clear that negotiationswith public sector workers have fall-en under a cooperative gains man-date since 2011, meaning it wouldn’tbe coming up with money to fundmodest compensation increases forworkers.
More than three quarters of thesector have settled under coopera-tive gains agreements, according tothe ministry. Further, a number ofschool districts have already comeforward with cost savings plans.
“Other public sector unions havenegotiated better offers so we don’tunderstand why we’re the ones whodon’t get any increases,” said Kaiser.“ICBC, BC Ferries, transit employ-ees, these contracts cost millions.We work with vulnerable children.Four per cent over two years is not ahell of a lot of money.
“It’s laughable when the govern-ment says there’s no money. There’smoney for what they want to payfor.”
School support staff, employer reach impasseBY YVONNE ROBERTSON
she was signing. MaryWatterson, registrar forthe CTCMA told the Newspenalties for Qiu’s allegedactions could includefines, re-payment of courtcosts, being removed fromthe college’s list and pre-vented from practising.
Watterson added, theprovince’s MSP may alsorequire Qiu to repay thealleged mis-billing.
It’s also possible Qiu,who is thought to still bein the country, could facea criminal investigationinvolving the MSP andprivate insurers. A deci-sion on the CTCMA’s pen-alties is expected some-time this month.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Clayton Stoner has yet to make his mark in the NationalHockey League as a premium player with the MinnesotaWild, but he’s secured a big reputation off the ice this
summer with the killing of a grizzly bear.We should thank him. In a move that was the exact opposite
of Brigitte Bardot kissing a baby seal, Stoner has drawn atten-tion to the issue of our provincial government auctioning off thisprovince’s wildlife like nobody else could. The only possibleincrease in media exposure would have been if he had clubbedthe grizzly to death with a hockey stick.
It must be emphasized that Stoner did nothing wrong in thelegal sense. He won the right to kill in a macabre annual lot-tery, paid for his licence like any other “game” hunter and wasentitled to take just the bear’s head and pelt for a keepsake whileleaving the carcass behind to feed other wild animals.
The morality of his actions is an entirely different question.In our view, hunters kill to eat. If they are not killing speciesat risk, there is nothing wrong with that. But shooting a largeanimal at the side of a river where it regularly comes to drink orfish is no more hunting than trying to hail a taxi.
Of still more concern is the accuracy of our government’spopulation estimates of a species many observers state is at risk.
Then there is the question of why the provincial governmentrefuses to honour the ban on trophy hunting of grizzlies thatCoastal First Nations declared in 2012. We’d love to hear whatthe courts might say about that.

As students are head-ing back to school,it is time for us
to reflect on the kind ofchildren we would like tobring up.
Children are future citi-zens who will provide lead-ership to shape our society.
While as parents wemay focus on the academicsuccess and future careersof our own children, weshould also care about rais-ing up a generation thatis responsible, positive,industrious, caring, com-passionate, and willing tocontribute.
As a community, wehave to provide the bestpossible opportunities andresources to support allchildren in our society todevelop these importantvalues.
According to the 2011census, about 18 per centof our population (32,000persons) in Richmond isaged 16 or under. In ourschools, there are about22,000 students in 38elementary schools and 10secondary schools.
These are the childrenwhom we have to provideadequate nurturing andsupport for their optimumgrowth.
While all children areborn with great potential,not all of them are able todevelop to their fullest dueto all kinds of challengesand obstacles.
For example, recentstudies show that morethan 30 per cent ofRichmond children underthe age of 17 live in low-income families, which is
higher than the provincialaverage.
As it is being said in adocument on child povertyin Richmond, our concernis not whether 30 per centor 10 per cent of childrenlive in poverty, but that allchildren should be giventhe same opportunities togrow and develop.
Children living inpoverty are often morevulnerable because thereare more barriers betweenthem and the resourcesthey need.
The research dataobtained from the EarlyDevelopment Instrument(EDI) and Middle YearsDevelopment Instrument(MDI) conducted by UBC’sHuman Early LearningPartnership project hasidentified that in certainareas in our communitythere are high percentagesof children who are vulner-able on one or more scales.
It is necessary to expandprograms, such as therecreation fee subsidy, toassist more children whocannot afford to participatein community activities.
Perhaps it is fortunatethat we have a strongpartnership in Richmond,consisting of the City,Richmond School District,Vancouver Coastal Health,the RCMP, business com-
munity, community agen-cies, faith groups and soon, working collaborativelyto meet the challenge ofproviding the best possibleopportunities for all chil-dren.
The city is commit-ted, as reflected in itsnew Social DevelopmentStrategy (www.richmond.ca/socialplan), to providethe vision, leadership, andsocial investment to sup-port Richmond children,youth and families.
This is an action-ori-ented document as concreteshort, medium and longterm action plans from2013-2022 are identifiedand will be monitored fortheir implementation.
Furthermore, as one ofits term goals for 2011-2014, City Council is com-mitted to the developmentof an updated youth strate-gy to address the needs andbuild on the assets of youthin the community.
However, that is not tosay that the city can pro-vide all things to all chil-dren in the community.
The senior levels ofgovernment have con-tinuously passed addi-tional responsibilities ontomunicipalities without pro-viding resources.
It is a serious challengefor the city to fill the gapsbeing left behind. There arealso competing prioritiesfor the resources that thecity can allocate.
But I still believe firmlythat every small step wetake to invest in our chil-dren today will pay back ina big way tomorrow.
Open letter to Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education,At its Sept. 3, 2013 meeting, the Richmond Board of
Education unanimously passed a resolution to send you this let-ter expressing our concerns regarding your correspondence ofAugust 26, 2013.
The news that the government and the CUPE negotiatingteam are now back to the bargaining table is most encouraging.Bargaining in good faith is a goal of any negotiation process andone our board strongly endorses.
While we recognize a wage increase for CUPE employeesis warranted, we feel obligated to communicate strongly andclearly that sufficient funding for education is essential in orderto maintain the high quality of education we offer for all of ourstudents.
It is imperative that the government make the provision ofadequate funding to cover all costs associated with K to 12public education a top priority. This includes providing districtswith funds to support any negotiated wage increases.
Boards have been directed by your Ministry to identify costsavings in order to fund any negotiated wage settlement. Ourboard has always been diligent and has attained necessary costsavings through staff and other reductions to balance our budget.
Therefore, the directive to find further savings will inevi-tably mean a reduction in service levels through further staffcuts. BCSTA, at its 2013 AGM, made the following a part of itspolicy, and we fully supported this motion: “Government shouldfully fund Boards of Education for all increases in their costsattributable to the Government.”
The recent announcements reducing BCPSEA to an advisoryrole without consultation is alarming in its implications for thefuture of the co-governance model in our province.
It is our hope that the scheduled round of bargaining resultsin a successful and reasonable provincial framework, and furtherthat this framework does not put the financial burden for anynegotiated settlements on school districts.
Yours sincerely,Donna Sargent, chairperson
On behalf of the Board of Education (Richmond)

The Editor,Re: “Schools at risk of cuts,” Letter,
Sept. 11.I’d like to applaud the chair of the
Richmond Board of Education and the restof the board for their letter to education min-ister Fassbender, urging a settlement for thesake of our kids.
Negotiating in good faith is important. Anagreement that is fair for both sides is whatshould be aimed for and political gain of anykind that either side may seek to reap shouldbe immediately refuted by the public.
What surprises me is that the letter from
the board did not explicitly call for consis-tent, stable funding, to my knowledge, a longfrustration of our trustees.
We ought to provide a fully funded, highquality K-12 public education to our kidsand nothing less.
But we also need the funding to keep upwith those costs and maintain the mandatedbalanced board budget.
Let’s get these negotiations done and overwith so we can get back to putting our kidsfirst in education.

The Editor,Re: “Boxing coach’s biggest fight is
outside the ring,” News, Sept. 6.I couldn’t help but chuckle at the
“unintended censoring” by Richmond ofa proposed amateur boxing event at theoval because of seemingly prohibitiverental charges.
Actually, the sooner that boxing eventsof that type, especially amateur ones, areeliminated, the better off the world willbe.
It has become increasingly apparent
that any sport that “features” head con-tact offers nothing good to prospectiveathletes.
And boxing leads the parade in pro-moting head concussion!
There are many other sports (e.g.,wrestling) that teach youth self-defencein a troubled world where our wellbeingmay be challenged.
How to go Richmond!Earle F. Zeigler

The Editor,I have received information via the
Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation thatsenators and other parliamentarians areallowed to collect their very lucrativepensions even if convicted of defraud-ing taxpayers.
There appears to be somethingwrong with this scenario since I believethat we all agree elected officialsshould be held to a higher standard thanthe rest of us since we, the people, putour trust in them as our representativesfor how our monies are spent.
It appears that this principle hasbeen lost to the “winds of time” sincegreed has overwhelmed such principles.
John Williamson, a ConservativeMP from New Brunswick has intro-duced Bill C-518, a private membersbill, that would take away the pensionsfrom people like Raymond Lavigne, a
senator, or any federal politician whois charged and convicted of defraudingtaxpayers.
The bill specifically states that anyconviction of those who were MPs orSenators on June 3, 2013 will result inloss of their parliamentary pension —meaning that as long as the bill passes,parliamentarians, if they are convicted,would lose their pensions, even if theyresign.
Mr. Williamson’s private membersbill should be wholeheartedly supportedby the public to show that we, the peo-ple, are fed up with how public fundsare being spent.
“Pigs at the trough” may be anappropriate term to be used when suchbehaviours are brought to the public’sattention.

The Editor,“Take a close look at this picture,”
Friday Feature, Sept. 6.I want to thank Mr.Diaz for his will-
ingness to share his experience with suchopenness and frankness.
The more we talk about mental healthand its impact on lives, the further we cango to chipping away at the stigma whichsurrounds it.
Diaz’ story also witnesses to theimportance of the support and under-standing from family and communitymembers in a person’s struggle with men-tal illness.
And as seen in Diaz’s experience, thereis so much hope.

A10 September 11, 2013 The Richmond News
Arjan Bhullar is familiar with mak-ing comebacks.
The Olympic and CommonwealthGames wrestler has fought back in hisfair share of contests to be declared thewinner.
But early on Sunday morning,one of the most important victorieshis beloved sport earned was one hehelped fight away from the mat asOlympic officials voted to keep thesport in the quadrennial competition.
“Yeah, I was pretty excited. I waswatching the IOC news conferencefrom Buenos Aires and when theyannounced wrestling was back in Ijumped up and down and did a few fistpumps,” said the Richmond residentwho grew up training in a gym his par-ents set up in their home.
Wrestling, which has been a main-stay of the modern version of theOlympic Games was on the choppingblock of sports earlier this year as theInternational Olympic Committee wasexploring ways to make its summerevent more appealing.
Citing waning interest and TV view-ership, wrestling had to grapple withbaseball and squash for the sole spot ofsports being included. In a vote amongIOC officials, wrestling managed topin down the majority of the 95 voteswith 49.
Baseball was next with 24, andsquash third with 22.
“It’s probably the most impor-tant day for the sport’s history,” saidBhullar, a Commonwealth Gameschampion who is vowing to competein the next Summer Olympic Games— 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
“This sends a clear message to theyoung athletes that there will be aplace for them to aspire to since theOlympics represents the pinnacle ofour sport,” Bhullar said, adding hegives much of the credit to formerCanadian Olympic gold medal-winningwrestlers Daniel Igali (Sydney 2000)and Carol Huynh (Beijing 2008) whomade personal presentations to the IOCin Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capitalcity Sunday.
The sport’s governing body,
International Federation of AssociatedWrestling Styles, also made someamendments to modernize wrestling’srules to increase competition on themat, make it more attractive to view-ers, and be more inclusive to femalecompetitors.
“We’re also looking at marketingthe sport better, and are looking tocopy some of the ways MMA (MixedMartial Arts) promotes its sport,” saidBhullar who is doing his part locallywith a wrestling program being readiedfor a January 2014 launch at the oval.
Leading up to that, Bhullar said hewill be making his way through LowerMainland schools to promote the sportand his program.
“There are a lot of great athletes outthere. This is a great sport for them,”he said.

Harbour landsfederal funding
Steveston Harbour is scheduled to get some upgradesand maintenance work worth several million dollars.
Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay madethe announcement that the federal ministry of Fisheriesand Oceans will provide a $7.9 million investment inmaintenance, repair, construction and dredging projectsat small craft harbours across British Columbia, includingSteveston and Ladner harbours.
“Our Government recognizes that small craft harboursplay a vital role for the fishing industry and local com-munities,” Findlay said. “The investment announced todaydemonstrates this government’s commitment to providingsafe and functional harbours. It will support local econo-mies, create jobs and benefit commercial fishers and theircommunities for years to come.”
The projects include the installation of a metal trestleat the Third Avenue wharf and regular maintenance dredg-ing at Steveston Harbour, and the dredging of the basin atLadner Harbour.
This year, Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Small CraftHarbours Program will undertake repair and maintenancework at core fishing harbours across Canada through aninvestment of approximately $63 million.

When choosing a destination, there are many factors tourists mayconsider — the scenery it provides, the location it’s in, or perhapsthe history of the place itself. If the latter is the case, the town ofFairhaven, Washington has that in spades.
Founded over a century ago, Fairhaven istucked away in southern Bellingham andhas become known for its vintage feelcombined with modern-day amenities.
“We’ve got about a dozen historicbuildings.The oldest buildings are from1901, the 1890s, and one from 1889,”says John Servais, member of the HistoricFairhaven Association and publisher ofthe official fairhaven.com website.
Many of the buildings once used assaloons, grocery stores and drug stores have been restoredand are still used for the same purposes today.The FairhavenPharmacy has been at the same intersection of 12th and Harrissince 1890, although now operates across the street from itsoriginal location.
“When my wife and I travel on road trips, we check outhistoric districts in other places like California.Theysometimes have buildings from 100 years ago but theyare no longer used for whatever they were built for.Youcan walk through hallways and look through open doors
into rooms, but there’s often redvelvet rope separating you fromthe historic furniture inside,” saysServais.
He adds that there’s nobarricades between visitorsand any of Fairhaven’s 20 or sorestaurants, four jewelry shops,two bookstores, and the manyother establishments now residing in thehistorical structures with names like TheMorgan Block, Sycamore Square or the
Knights of Pythias Building.
The small town’s resurgence began in the 1970s when a manoriginally from Bellingham named Ken Imus returned toWashington State after making millions from the car dealership
business in California. He purchased several of the buildingsthat were set to be demolished and rented them out, whicheventually attracted several businesses to the area.
Fairhaven is located just off of the I-5 at exit 250.Visit www.fairhaven.com for more information.

Last of our 10-part seriesFew of us remember being
toddlers, but many of us sureremember raising them!
“Johnny, put that down!Mary, stay inside the yard andTommy, stop chasing Mary!For goodness sake kids, couldyou all please settle down!”
Sorry parents, they willnever settle down but will instead becomemore “grown up” in their restlessness. We areall impatient in many different ways, includ-ing how we invest our money. Symptoms ofthis include active stock trading, incessantlyswitching mutual funds and following the lat-est “gurus”.
A few years ago, I asked one of my sonsto do some research on the flows of moneyinto and out of mutual funds, using data fromthe Investment Funds Institute of Canada.The results backed up observations I’ve hadfor years: Investors in Canada buy high andsell low. Bad idea.
Because Canada doesn’t have too manystudies available on how investors do, versusthe markets, I looked south of the border,knowing their investor behavior is not muchdifferent than ours.
Each year, Dalbar Research measuresmutual fund investor performance versusmarket benchmarks. The research showsthat the “average” equity fund investor sig-nificantly underperforms the market rate ofreturn.
The main reason for this poor relativeperformance is lack of investment discipline.The short-term focus of many fund inves-tors compels them to buy high and sell low,and to hold funds for less than five years, on
average — often shifting toyesterday’s hot performer.
I’m 52 years old. I lovewhat I do so much that Idon’t actually ever want tofully retire but let’s pretendthat I will. My time frame forinvesting extends well pastthe day my wife and I retire.With good health and medical
advances, this could span up to half a centuryand our investment portfolio needs to fuel theincreasing expenses of those years.
Because the history and diversificationof the Canadian stock market is too thin, Itook a look at the history of the United Statesstock market since 1926. Those markets aver-aged around 11.25 per cent. That’s a wholelot better than the average 4.06 per cent forUS Treasury bills!
The interesting thing is that there hasnever been a 20 year period since 1926 wherethe U.S. stock market has done worse thanan average 2.09 per cent compound rate ofreturn. The worst returns over 30 year periodshave been around eight per cent.
Over my anticipated investment timeframe, I’m prepared to deal with risk becauseI am thinking long term and letting nothingknock me off course. I invite you to do like-wise. I think we all know intuitively that it’ssimply the right thing to do.
The opinions expressed are those ofRichard Vetter, BA, CFP, CLU, ChFC.Vetter is a senior financial advisor withWealthSmart Financial Group/ManulifeSecurities Incorporated in Richmond.Manulife Securities Incorporated is a mem-ber of the Canadian Investor ProtectionFund.

volunteerism.

Back in 2003, the members of the CountryMeadows Seniors Men’s Golf Club decidedto donate all proceeds of their annual charitygolf tournament to prostate cancer research.
Little did they know that 10 years later,their contributions woulddirectly help in the discoveryof a groundbreaking drug,made by Dr. Marianne Sadarat the BC Cancer Agencywhich is believed to overcome
treatment-resistant prostate cancer.“We’re a club of 160 men over the age
of 65,” said Lorne Carney, a member of thecharity committee. “This disease affects onein six men, so we thought, why not help acause that will affect us. Many of our mem-bers have passed away because of it and fourmen have it now.”
The new drug begins clinical trials earlynext year and is believed to shrink canceroustumours and have applications for certaintypes of breast and ovarian cancers, accord-ing to Carney.
“It’s very gratifying to be making such a
difference,” said Carney. “Also, to know theimplications it has for other types of cancersis really fantastic as well.”
One of the club’s members, HaroldMahood, introduced Dr. Sadar to the groupin 2003 when she was just starting out as aresearch scientist.
The members decided that 100 per cent ofproceeds from the tournament would go toher research and would help equip her lab.
They played the latest round at the AnnualCharity Golf Classic this past Friday, Sept.6, raising $138,000, bringing the total to$850,000 for Dr. Sadar and her prostate can-cer research.
The money will continue to support Dr.Sadar, as the new drug, EPI-001 enters PhaseOne clinical trial.
“There used to be a time when men werea lot more reluctant to talk about prostatecancer,” said Carney. “That’s changing now,there’s been a lot more awareness. Now, peo-ple are starting to understand it and see that itreally is the worst cancer for men.”
All 140 spots for the tournament werefilled Friday and each player paid a $125 par-ticipation fee. Other donations come from theLohn Foundation and small businesses.

A friend of minerecently posted a link toa controversial articlewritten by the wife ofan RCMP officer.
She examined thetendency for the publicto automatically fingerpoint and blame thepolice.
She acknowledged that although there are few badapples in the policing field most members are workingvery hard to serve and protect and make it home alive atthe end of the shift.
Many of the comments on her article were supportive.They respected that men and women in first responderprofessions risk their lives every day. The author’s mainpoint was the public shouldn’t judge a situation they knowvery little about, or automatically blame the police whenthey don’t know what led up to the decision that the offi-cer made.
The other side of the comments on her article wereextremely hostile, police-bashing, angry-at-the-man typesentiments. She eventually had to close the commentswhen individuals threatened her and wished her policeofficer husband would beat her to death.
As I read through the progressively more disturbingcomments, something occurred to me. Regardless ofwhether you support the police or hate cops, we can allagree there needs to be more accountability. I don’t meanholding a person or group accountable — I mean beingpersonally accountable.
Whether we are bureaucrats, corporation heads, teach-ers, parents, or blue-collar workers, we can all be moreaccountable for our behaviours and choices — both theones we make and the ones we don’t.
This would include what we say or stay silent on, howwe spend our money and time, our attitude, what we con-sider important, and whether we jump to blame or jump tofind solutions.
We are all responsible to act the way we would if weknew everybody was watching, even when nobody iswatching. We are all responsible to respect other people’sthings, families, beliefs, and lifestyles as if they were ourown. We are responsible to ensure the safety and well-being of our fellow humans, whether that means protect-ing the environment, speaking up against an injustice, orsimply being honest and trustworthy.
Personal accountability is fairly simple: work hard tobe a person others would admire; adhere to the law orrun for office to change the law; admit when we makemistakes; accept the consequences when we slack, break arule, or screw up; exercise our right to vote so the peoplewe want representing us are elected; appreciate and valuethe people who are trained and willing to do the difficultor dirty jobs that we can’t or don’t want to do.
Everybody is where they are today because of thechoices they made yesterday. If you commit a crime youwill be treated like a criminal. That is the choice you madeand it’s not a police officer’s fault that you made thatchoice.
On the other hand, if you are in a position of authorityand you abuse the privilege or power that has been entrust-ed in you, you will lose that position of authority.
I’m glad there are men and women who are willing tobe spat on, attacked, and threatened with weapons as theirprofession.
Sure, some police officers are corrupt or lack integrity;some have been on the traumatizing and sometimes thank-less job too long; some have personal problems that affecttheir judgement; and some abuse the authority they havebeen entrusted with. Most of them are individuals who arecaring, responsible, brave, and calm in threatening situa-tions.
I’m all for accountability, but if we cop bash, the typeof young men and women we need in policing will thinktwice about choosing that profession.

Judd Lambert(far right) is backas head coach ofthe RichmondSockeyes thisseason after aone year hiatus.His staff includesformer playerDarryl Fowler. Thedefending PIJHLchampions playtheir home openertomorrow night(7:30 p.m.)againstAbbotsford atMinoru Arena.
Sockeyes reload to take a run at another titleThe Richmond Sockeyes will
celebrate their championship seasonon Thursday night with likely moreplayers from that team in the standsthan on the ice.
The 41-year-old franchise willunveil their latest collection of ban-ners and trophies when it opens thePacific International Junior HockeyLeague regular season against theAbbotsford Pilots at Minoru Arena(7:30 p.m.).
The Sockeyes capped a dominantcampaign last April by capturingthe Keystone Cup in Manitoba— marking the second time in fiveyears they were crowned Western
Canadian champions. The 2013-14edition currently features just sevenreturnees from that team thanks tograduation and players moving on tohigher tiers of junior hockey.
High scoring forwards DeanAllison (Vernon), Daniell Lange(Coquitlam) and Danton Heinen(Surrey) have all earned rosterspots in the B.C. Hockey League.Throw in departed 21-year-olds SamChichak, Jeremy Hamaguchi, RudiThorsteinson, Stephen Campbell andJake Roder, leaving local productDaniel Tait as the only returningplayer of their top nine scorers.
Yet don’t feel sorry for thisPIJHL juggernaut. It attracts topincoming talent simply for its suc-cess and track record of developing
players. This year is no exception.“It’s probably the biggest turn-
over of players since I have beenhere but to be quite honest I likewhat we got here,” said longtimeSockeyes general manager RichardPetrowsky. “I don’t see any reasonwhy we can’t contend.”
Heading the class of 2013recruits is 16-year-old John Wesleywho led the Delta Wild Academyteam in scoring last season and to asecond place finish at the RichmondMidget International Tournament.Forward Jacob Wozney and defence-man Nicholas Patey played for theMajor Midget Greater VancouverCanadians last season while 18-year-old — Mac Colasimone — landedwith the Sockeyes from Ontario
Midget AAA and through word ofmouth.
“His father got his job trans-ferred out here and happened to bestaying at the same hotel DaniellLange’s mom worked at,” explainedPetrowsky. “She told them to playfor the Sockeyes.”
The entire organization breatheda sigh of relief when Judd Lambertdecided to return behind the benchto replace the departed AaronWilbur. Lambert initially left at theend of the 2011-12 season to spendmore time with his young familybut has apparently made a minimumtwo-year commitment to the club forhis second go around. The formerstandout goalie guided the Sockeyesto their 2009 Keystone Cup win.
