Imagine someone pointing an air gun at youfrom about 10 feet and firing a pellet at your

chest. It’s gonna hurt, right?Now imagine, from a similar distance, the

same yahoo taking aim at your torso with anassault rifle and letting rip.

Can you feel the difference?It kind of vexes thee a tad when — in the

context of the do-we, don’t-we ban pit bullsdebate — people start comparing the numberof bites from pit bull-type breeds and otherdogs, such as German Shepherds and thosevicious, little Jack Russell terriers. Really?

I know what multiple Jack Russell bites feellike, having been surrounded by a pack ofthem while delivering letters as a mailman.

It wasn’t pleasant. And I had to be saved bythe dogs’ seven-year-old “owner.”

But one tetanus injection and a “there,there” from my wife and I was bravely backout on the bike the next day.

Joking aside, the argument over muzzlingand/or banning specific breeds is a seriousissue for all concerned, not least for the Birdcouple featured in today’s Richmond News,who were forced to abandon their Stevestonroots and relocate to Tsawwassen to providequality of life for their blind pet, which hassome pit bull in its mixed breeding.

I empathize with them, I really do. I’m a dogowner and if the authorities ever ban or legis-late the life out of Scots terrier/daschund/Lab-rador crossbreeds that look like Donkey out ofShrek, then I’d also have to consider shippingout to a municipality that’s more, shall we say,“tolerant” of my pet’s DNA.

I get it. All dogs can be “dangerous” tovarying degrees. The trouble I have withcomparing across breeds is that when dogs,other than pit bull types, bite, hospitaliza-tion, surgery and permanent disfigurement israrely required.

They don’t bite that often, but when theydo, the results tend to need more than atetanus and a few soothing words.

As it stands, Richmond requires a leashand a muzzle when any pit bull type dog is inpublic. The pro-pit bull camp, including theBirds, claims, however, that such rules don’treduce the number of incidents and a lack ofenforcement renders the bylaws worthless.

What I do like the sound of — and it’s inreporter Graeme Wood’s feature on page 12— is the suggestion by an MLA and a vet tohold dog owners, no matter what breed theirpet is, liable for any unprovoked attacks.

Liability = responsibility = prevention.And, by default, if an owner is worried over

getting sued for millions, one wonders howquickly he or she might rush to buy froma breeder a pit bull type dog to have andbehold as a family pet?

Visit our website (www.WillPowerLaw.com) or call us at(604)233-7001 to discuss your Wills, Estates and Seniors’ questions.

Sad situation, but no variationSim v. Sim Estate (reasons were released this week) is a Wills Variation case brought by the children of a deceased father.Their mother died at a young age and most of the children left home early, a result of overly stern discipline.

The father remarried in 1971, and had two children with his new wife. He died in 2012. His Estate was small (about$73,000). However, he took out an insurance policy, payable on the deaths of himself and his wife, that would give each ofhis five children a benefit of $50,000. The five children were otherwise disinherited under his Will.

The deceased was survived by his five children, wife and two other children.The five children sought a variation of hisWill.

The Court denied the claim, but did order that the insurance policy stand and the surviving wife continue paying thepremiums so that the children would receive their benefit on her death. In denying the children’s claim, the Court firstfound that the deceased owed no legal duty to his five children, as they were all independent.

Despite his stern treatment of them, the Court held that a Will variation was not a remedy for abuse and the Estate waslegally too small to allow a variation. This Estate was made even smaller by the deceased having taken out an insurancepolicy and paying all the premiums.

The facts in this case, though unfortunate, truly did not justify a variation of the Will.

LETTERSto theEditor

Sound of trustee silence

The sigh of disbeliefDear Editor,Re: “Petition filed as non-resident births

rise,” News, July 6.After reading reporter Graeme Wood’s

article, I wonder how many among the non-residents, who seem to have the big bucksto spend, enjoy the subsidy of our healthcare program just because they qualify as“low income?”

Our city is a city of magic. We have disap-pearing schools, trees, communities, houseowners, heritage houses, mom and popshops and perhaps there are a lot more thatdropped out of sight, but, because I blinkedhard and long, I did not catch them as theywere swallowed into the black hole.

Of course, to be a fantastic magic show,some things should also re-appear.

Abracadabra, we see mega houses,foreign language signs, apologists, the “R”card and, now, non-resident births.

And, yes, in a magic show we let out our“oooohs” and “aaaahs,” but in this show, allthat is coming from me is a big sigh.

Not of relief, but a sigh of disbelief anddisappointment. And then, I realize I am notalone. It is heartening to read letters fromthe likes of Mr. Halliday, Mr. Arnold and allthe other Richmond residents who truly carefor this city…and our country.

Lilian TiroRichmond

Open letter to Richmond School Districttrustees,

Where are you? You have been awfully quietin the past few weeks.

Are you concerned that standing up forstudents and families in Richmond will causeMike Bernier, Minister of Education, to fire allof you?

Personally, I would be more concernedabout the voters firing you. The lack of oppo-sition against the provincial government’s de-mands to balance the district budget (shortfallof $3.3M this year) and to increase the districtutilization requirement to 95 per cent, seemsto give off the impression that you find this

acceptable. The Vancouver School Board hasbeen nothing short of vocal. The VSB choosesto advocate for more education funding, aswell as pressuring the government to waivethe utilization requirement. The VSB votedagainst balancing their district budget at therisk of losing their jobs.

Meanwhile, our trustees are losing the con-fidence of parents here in Richmond.

If I recall correctly, the petition that was cir-culating for over four weeks in the spring wasnot even endorsed by them. It’s awfully quietout there. I hear nothing but crickets.

Cuts to Richmond PublicLibrary’s 2016 budget have

resulted in numerous complaintsfrom the public, concerningmatters such as reduced hours,increased fines and cut ser-vices, according to a staff reportpresented to city council’s financecommittee Monday.

Chief librarian Greg Buss notedrising library operating costs — abone of contention among manyon council — are due to keepingpaperback collections intact, whilesimultaneously expanding itsdigital materials.

“The pressure is to do twothings as well as we can, and per-haps we don’t do either as well asthe public expects,” said Buss.

With fewer late fees, overall rev-enues are projected to be downby 7.5 per cent in 2017.

In 2011 the City of Richmondcontributed $7.7 million to librar-ies, while in 2017 it is expected tocontribute $9 million.

And yet, among Metro Van-couver municipalities, Richmondactually funds its libraries belowthe regional average of $53.63 per

capita, with just $41.26 in likewisespending. According to the report,Richmond has the highest physi-cal and online visits per capita.

In the report, Richmond’sfinancial planners have effectivelygiven councillors two options:accept the rising costs or makemore cuts.

Coun. Alexa Loo said if the cityis to keep its taxes relatively low,people can expect less service.

“I think we need to take a longlook at this,” said Loo, who agreedto the cuts last year.

Couns. Bill McNulty andLinda McPhail voted against thelibrary cuts. McNulty, who alsovoted against tax hikes in the lastbudget, said Monday that the cityought to up its per capita fundingby one dollar.

Coun. Carol Day voted for thecuts last year, likening it to apencil sharpening exercise. OnMonday she told the committee,“the (cut) hours have really af-fected people.”

As a result of the changes, anemail survey conducted by thelibrary found about 80 per centof the comments received werenegative.

Court orders home-basedacupuncture clinic shut down

Library cuts drawcomplaints from users

ARichmond couple has beenordered to stop running an un-

derground acupuncture clinic fromtheir home that was serving clientsas far back as 2004, according toseized records.

According to the College ofTraditional Chinese MedicinePractitioners and Acupunctur-ists of BC (CTCMA), VancouverCoastal Health Authority contactedthe CTCMA in February to reportan anonymous complaint thatacupuncture was being practicedillegally at a private residence onColville Road registered to tenantsJhan Jhan Lee and Wai CheongChik.

Surveillance operations wereconducted by private investigatorshired by the CTCMA that revealedduring a three-day span businessbeing was being conducted on alarge scale, including a report ofmore than 140 vehicles arrivingand leaving the home.

A search and seize order wasissued and carried out in Marchassisted by the RCMP.

The resulting investigation un-

covered thousands of acupunctureneedles and hypodermic syringes,prescription-only pharmaceuti-cals, and clinical records involvingthousands of patients from 2004 toMarch 2016.

On June 30 in B.C. SupremeCourt permanent injunctionsagainst the couple were issued. Inaddition, the court awarded CTCMAcosts of more than $36,000.

“These two individuals are ex-amples of the imposters that preyon the public, providing cheap un-regulated health care to vulnerableunwell people. The solution is verysimple: every regulatory college hasa website with a list of its registrants– make sure that the health prac-titioner you are going to is listed,”stated Dr. Mary Watterson, registrarof the CTCMA on its website.

Plane crash survivors get OK to sue

Six passengers whosurvived a fatal plane

crash near the Vancouverairport nearly five years agohave gotten clearance tohave their lawsuits heard incourt.

Joe Fiorante, a lawyer forfive of the passengers, saidhis clients were “pleased”with a ruling that allowsthem to proceed with theirinjury claims through thecourts rather than havethem dealt with throughworkers’ compensation.

“Legally, they’re muchbetter off with being ableto pursue their civil rightsin court rather than beinglimited to workers’ compen-sation benefits. That’s notalways the case, but in thiscase for sure,” he said.

Northern ThunderbirdAir Inc., which owned andoperated the aircraft and isbeing sued by the pas-sengers, and the plaintiffsapplied to the WorkersCompensation Appeal Tri-bunal (WCAT) to determinewhether the crash injuriesarose out of and in thecourse of employment.

At the time of the October2011 crash, the passen-gers were flying to Kelownato attend an annual retreatorganized by a corpora-

tion called TEC CanadaLtd. The passengers weremembers of a small “sub-group” of TEC.

In February 2015,WCAT found that someof the factors supportedan employment connec-tion and others did not. Itconcluded that the injuriesdid not arise out of and inthe course of their employ-ment. The airline then fileda petition seeking an ordersetting aside the tribunal’sdecision and sending thematter back for reconsid-eration.

But in her ruling, B.C.

Supreme Court JusticeWendy Baker concludedthat the tribunal’s decisionwas not patently unreason-able and dismissed thecompany’s petition.

The lawsuits allege thecompany and/or its em-ployees were negligent.

The passengers aboardthe small King Air 100 air-craft were pulled to safetyafter the plane crash-land-ed on Russ Baker Way, slidacross the road and burstinto flames. The two pilots,Luc Fortin and MatthewRobic, were also rescued,but died later from burns.

Decked head-to-toe in red and white, facepaint and flag capes; it’s safe to say Canada

Day is the one of the most highly anticipateddays of the year for the Richmond youth.

While the rest of Steveston Village is full offamilies and tourists, look no further than “TheHill” for your daily dose of out-of-tune teens singing along tothe national anthem.

In the past, “The Hill” by the water park was always the go-to hangout for youth to mix and mingle, but from the gradualgrowth of police intervention, the herd of high-schoolers wasforced to migrate further and further away from the park.

And although the tennis courts were dubbed the “YouthFestival” area this year, the Richmond teens still opted for theunsupervised zone between “The Hill” and the tennis courts.

But why Steveston? After all, Downtown Vancouver is just aSkyTrain ride away. For recent McMath graduate Sam Huang,17, the Steveston celebration has become tradition.

For her and other teens alike, the village is just a short walkaway. Everything offered in the downtown core has becomeavailable here, just on a smaller, more intimate scale.

“(Downtown) is just so far and smelly and crowded,” ex-plained Sam, “Steveston is home.”

Even for local college students, Steveston is still consideredthe best option. Whether they’re at The Buck or by “The Hill,”the freshly-legal, such as Noa Gortler, 19, celebrate theirhomeland by staying in their hometown. The oldest of three,Gortler and her two younger siblings, Ido, 18, and Adi, 11,could all be found in Steveston — just probably not together.

“I like Canada Day in Steveston because all ages can cometogether to celebrate Canada day; you know, from little babies

to the older peoples,” said Gortler.And when the sun starts to set, that’s not when the fun

stops. Canada day is a full-day event and the local youth hasdeveloped sleep-deprived stamina. The teens head to theirseparate house parties, with some goodbye hugs, but hardlyever a formal farewell.

After all, they all know they’ll see each other soon enough; ifit’s not that night, it will, for sure, be the Canada Day after.

n Richmond’s teens seemed to still converge on an unofficial partyplace, despite having a Youth Festival. Photos by Rachel Kwan

Century-old sea tragedyto be commemorated

Acentury-old sea tragedywill be remembered at

noon on Sunday at GarryPoint Park when descen-dants from the crew of theOnward Ho! gather at theFisherman’s Memorial topay their respects.

It was on Jan. 6, 1916,that the ill-fated ship leftSteveston Harbour to fish forhalibut off Cape Spencer,Alaska before vanishingfrom the icy waters.

Loaded down with areported 180,000 pounds offish, battling stormy weatherand a treacherous build-upof ice on the decks — ren-dering her top-heavy — thevessel presumably capsized,taking all 30 or more of hercrew down with her.

No remains of the ship orher crew, some of whomwere natives of Norway,were ever found. Left behindwere wives and children,some of whom will be repre-sented by family membersat Sunday’s memorial.

Some will come from theLower Mainland, and otherswill have made the trek fromNorway, where earlier thisyear, another memorial washeld.

One of the descendants isLangley’s Mark Hutchinson,the great-grandson of firstmate Hedley Hughes.

His wife, Marian Buechert,told the News the event hasmostly been organized byfamily members of the crewfrom Norway.

Kristin Overaas, great-granddaughter of theOnward Ho!’s cook, JensBendicksen Aas, hostedthe memorial there about amonth ago, Buechert said,adding that ceremony tookplace unbeknownst to her.

“We found out about amonth ago,” she said, whenshe received an invitation forthe Steveston event.

The Onward Ho!’s crewwas made up of a mixture ofimmigrants and locals. It’snot known how many mayhave lived in Richmond atthe time. First mate Hughescame from New Westmin-ster, Buechert said.

“He’d moved there withseveral members of hisfamily, from (Digby) NovaScotia,” she said. “Othermembers of the crew wereimmigrants, mostly fromNorway and maybe oneDane.”

Buechert said the ac-counts of the sinking wereheart-breaking.

“They sailed out on the12th day of Christmas, theweather wasn’t great andwhen they got out into thatarea of Alaska, apparentlythere was a huge ice stormand their hold was alreadyfull of halibut,” she said.“They were also pretty icedover that that point. You justkind of imagine the crewchopping away frantically,trying to clear the deck inwhat turned out to be ahopeless cause,” Buechertsaid.

“Then, there were all thewives waiting at home. Mrs.Hughes had five childrenand would have been leftto her own devices to raise

them. It was very sad.”Sad, too, was the fact

Hedley wasn’t even sup-posed to be on the ship.

Buechert said he wasadded to the crew as alast-minute replacementfor another man who hadinjured his leg.

The tragedy, though sig-nificant in scale, was likelypassed over at the time,due to the myriad of lossesreported during the FirstWorld War, Buechert said.

In respect for the loss,names of most of the crewwere added to the memo-rial at Garry Point in 2014.The remainder have beenrequested to be added.

On Sunday, the family,which will also include thegranddaughter of Hughes,will cast red roses on thewaters off Garry Point —one for each crew member.A trumpeter and sea shantycrew of singers will add tothe spectacle.

Purpose ofOCPAmendment:

Purpose of-$3<3@ 9"7=Amendment:


Two Rottweilers run wild around a neigh-bourhood, biting a construction worker

in the process, thus leading to a drawn outlegal battle with the City of Richmond. A pitbull-cross spooks police officers during aninvestigation, causing one to shoot at it. ARottweiler-cross mauls a young woman and asenior man. A German Shepherd gets looseand lacerates a mailman’s leg. A pit bull-terrier attacks a woman at its home, sendingher to hospital for facial surgery.

These are just a sample of the hundredsof dog attack investigations Richmond bylawofficers have conducted over the past twoyears.

To be certain, Richmond is not immune toan increasingly simmering nationwide debateover labeling certain dogs, particularly pitbulls, as “dangerous” and enacting breedspecific legislation.

In all of the above cases, save for, perhaps,the latter, the owners were not present at thetime of the attack and/or confrontation.

For some, such as the BCSPCA, targetingcertain breeds in municipal bylaws to reducedog attacks has no scientific basis and doesnot address irresponsible dog owners. Mean-while, others, such as attack victims, insistblanket legislation against powerful dogs,such as pit bulls and Staffordshire terriers, isnecessary, as the risk involved with such ani-mals is too great to leave it to human mastersto handle on their own.

Richmond falls into a minority group of mu-nicipalities and districts in B.C. that specifical-ly targets pit bulls and terriers. According toits bylaws, from birth, any such dog is labeled“dangerous” and required to be leashed andwear a muzzle at all times in public. However,Richmond also falls short of a more compre-hensive set of regulations and punitive finestargeting owners of aggressive or dangerousdogs, regardless of breed — such as in NewWestminster.

In the middle of thisfirestorm debate in Rich-mond has been LeanneBird, 33, the owner ofPeanut, a mixed-breed pitbull. She contends bylawsaimed at specific breeds areineffective and fail to focuson responsible dog owner-ship and animal behavioureducation. Her argumentsare backed up by numer-ous studies, as well as theBCSPCA.

And yet, Richmond muzzles pit bulls andterriers, which is fine by people, such asthose at National Pit Bull Victim Awareness,who note pit bull attacks are the most damag-ing of all.

The debate is muddied by the fact in B.C.municipalities are left to regulate dogs as theysee fit creating local legislation akin to a jig-saw puzzle. Furthermore, there is no nationaldata concerning dog bites. Additionally, prov-inces vary on how they address aggressivedogs. And, in B.C., owners of dangerous dogsare not liable for their dog’s actions — an is-

sue that may soon be addressed in Victoria.According to Bird, Richmond’s bylaws have

failed to prevent dog bites, from pit bulls orother dogs.

Adding to Bird’s concerns is that her blinddog is automatically labeled, at birth, as“dangerous” by Richmond’s bylaw, as it hascharacteristics resembling a pit bull or Staf-fordshire terrier.

Bird, and husband Shawn, adopted Peanutin 2012, just after buying anapartment in Steveston, butsoon realized she was blind.

“We loved Steveston andhad no intention of leaving,”she said.

But because of Peanut’sresemblance to a pit bull,it meant she had to wear amuzzle when in public.

This meant the dogcouldn’t communicate prop-erly or direct herself whenwalking, as she relied heavilyon scent and her whiskers.

“It was coming to a point that this didn’tmake sense,” explained Leanne, who thendirected her efforts to Richmond city counciland City of Richmond staff.

Following a year and a half of what theBirds describe as dismissive attitudes by an“old boys” council, the 2001 Cambie second-ary grad, turned legal assistant, moved toTsawwassen recently.

Bird said she feels she was put in the situa-tion merely because she had been responsi-ble by registering Peanut as a dangerous dogunder the bylaw. Meanwhile, she suspects

others do not because of higher licensing feesfor such dogs.

Bird acknowledges the power of pit bullsbut contends Richmond doesn’t encourageresponsible dog ownership.

“A large dog will always do more damage, itdoesn’t matter what the breed is,” said Bird.“But with all these bites happening in Rich-mond, nothing happens to those dogs unlessthey do something drastic. Zero happenshere. We’ve had small dogs that have bittenmultiple people and nothing happens. So thecurrent bylaws in Richmond haven’t savedany of those bites and there’s no enforce-ment. There are pit bulls running around withno leash. We have bylaws and they only affectresponsible owners.

“It’s not based on behaviour, it’s basedon what someone thinks Peanut looks like,”added Bird.

Bird said dogs shouldn’t have to wearmuzzles automatically. However, she saidshe would accept, at the very least, a systemin place whereby she could have Peanutcertified in some manner by going through atraining regimen, in order to have the muzzlerequirement and dangerous dog statusremoved. Bird said Nanaimo provides forsuch an opportunity. Late last year Richmondcouncilors expressed no interest in doing so.

The Birds also want to see Richmond up itsfines for irresponsible dog owners: increaselicence enforcement, raise fines for aggres-sive behaviour, and issue more tickets foroff-leash dogs.

assault. So a dog kills someone; what’s tostop the owner from getting another dog?There are no repercussions for the owner,”said Shawn.

“And there’s none in Richmond,” said Bird.“All I want from the City of Richmond is to

just review its bylaws,” said Bird.The City of New Westminster recently

revamped its animal control bylaws, which donot target specific breeds. Instead, New Westnow has broader and more punitive fines thanRichmond for infractions. New Westminsteranimal control coordinator Nancy Millar saidsince the changes last year, dog bites wentdown 30 per cent but have since levelledoff. Millar said there was “overwhelmingevidence” breed specific bylaws (BSBs) don’twork.

“Overall, New Westminster allows for moreof a range and provides a policy that punisheseven the slightest of aggressive behaviour,”noted Bird.

Meanwhile, “Richmond’s current bylaw hasgaps where animals can display aggressivebehaviour and get away with it.”

n Pit bulls are too powerfulCountering Bird’s claims is the National Pit

Bull Victim Awareness group.“Richmond is very fortunate to have breed

legislation for pit bull type dogs,” said mem-ber Mia Johnson, a Vancouver resident, viaemail.

“It is very important for people to know thatpenalties for owners whose dogs attack is agood start, but as a single measure is insuf-ficient. Penalizing owners after an attack isnot the same as preventing attacks in the firstplace. Breed specific legislation (BSL) seeksto cut down on the number of attacks, maul-ings, severe injuries, emergency surgeries,facial reconstructions, amputations and evendeath by pit bull type dogs through preventa-tive measures,” said Johnson, while notingpit bull attacks are disproportionate to others.Johnson doesn’t buy the “responsible” dogowner argument.

“Owners are rarely present during anattack, and if they are, can rarely stop an at-tack. In June 2016, 23 people were attackedby pit bulls in B.C.”

“The pit bull is the dog of choice for dogfighting for very good reasons. For the samereasons, they are not suitable as pets,” saidJohnson, adding she sympathizes with citycouncilors, who have been “lobbied to death”by pro-pit bull groups.

Johnson notes that when it comes to hu-man deaths and serious injuries, pit bulls areby far the most common cause.

Disagreeing with the notion that BSBs arethe solution is the BCSPCA, which has beenopenly critical of Richmond’s approach, asit contends it fails to proactively educate itsresidents about responsible dog ownershipand does little to punish owners.

“We oppose breed specific bylaws as astrategy to reducing dog bites and aggres-sion,” said Amy Morris, BCSPCA policyoutreach officer.

Morris contends policies such as Rich-mond’s, fail to promote proper animalbehaviour education and training by dogowners, which can reduce dog

bites from all breeds, not just pit bulls andterriers. Additionally, Morris notes the public,in general, doesn’t understand cues dogs giveoff when they feel threatened.

Furthermore, Morris notes pit bull is not abreed, but rather a mix of dogs, some whichhave been bred to act aggressively, otherswhich have been used as “nanny dogs.”

Poor and unregulated breeding standards,uneducated dog owners and a lack of stan-dardized training regiments are obstaclesto shedding the misnomer of breed specificbylaws, noted Morris.

“The nurture moment is really important.Dogs have a critical upraising stage from fourto 12 weeks. That moment is so important fora dog’s life,” said Morris.

Furthermore, Morris is critical of the lackof responsibility owners have regarding theirdogs.

n Responsible ownership is keyTaking up the issue of responsibility in

B.C. is Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver,who introduced legislation this year to makeowners of a dog that injures a person 100 percent liable, save for instances where the dogwas provoked.

“What’s missing is that it’s very difficult tohave the animal owner found liable after anattack,” said Weaver. “The dog owner canbuy another dog the next day and there areno consequences,” he noted.

Weaver said he personally disagrees withbreed specific legislation.

However, in the absence of adequate lawsset by the province, Weaver said, “I under-stand why [some municipalities] have BSB. Irespect the autonomy of the City of Richmondto introduce them.”

Weaver thinks better legislation to makethe owner more responsible could open thedoor to having more dogs of all breeds wear-ing a muzzle. On the flip side, it could meanmunicipalities could relax their BSBs, allowingfolks such as the Birds to choose freely howthey handle their dog in public.

“When you put liability on the owners, theyhave to think very carefully how they handletheir animal. You might think twice abouthaving that dog run around freely in the parkwhere there are children,” said Weaver.

He added that liability insurance for all dogsshould be required. Notably, in New West-minster, when a dog is declared dangerousthe owner must purchase liability insurance ofno less than $1 million. No such requirementexists in Richmond.

Insurance requirements could make peoplesecond-guess high-risk dogs, said Weaver.

Morris is also asking that the provincial gov-ernment to introduce standardized trainingand breeding practices.

Whether education and improved animalrights legislation will work is still a matter ofdebate, which is muddied by various studiesthat use sporadic data collected by munici-palities across the country.

National Pit-

Bull Victim Awareness cites studies indicatinghow when Winnipeg banned pit bulls in 1990it saw dog bites reduced. It also cites how inCalgary — which doesn’t have BSBs — pitbulls were the second most frequent biters in2013.

Ontario banned pit bulls province-wide in2005 after high-profile attacks sparked reac-tion from the public. But dog bites didn’t godown in Toronto and have actually risen sincethen, according to medical reports (albeit sohas the population). In 2012 at a standingcommittee at the Legislative Assembly of On-tario, Dr. Dale Scott, of the Ontario VeterinaryMedical Association, stated breed-specificdog bans are not an effective way to deal withdangerous dogs.

“Research clearly shows that a more effec-tive approach to dealing with dangerous dogsis improving bite prevention education andimplementing non-breed-specific danger-ous dog laws, enacted to place the primaryresponsibility for a dog’s behaviour on theowner, regardless of the dog’s breed; in par-ticular, targeting irresponsible dog owners,”

said Scott.In 1996, Toronto studied its dog bite inci-

dents, noted Scott. The study found one percent of pit bulls were involved in attacks whilefive per cent of labs and six per cent of Ger-man Shepherds lashed out.

“To summarize, there is no scientific dataon which to base the conclusion that a breed-based ban is the answer,” said Scott.

Perhaps a more neutral observer of theissue was Nancy Clarke, a University of B.C.masters of science thesis candidate, whonoted a U.S. statistical study showing pit bullsaccounted for about 25 per cent of all humanfatalities related to dog attacks.

However, Clarke noted Calgary introducedmore educational measures and reduced dogbites five-fold while Winnipeg chose BSBsand bites went down by just half.

Improved ticketing and licensing was shownto reduce dog bite incidents elsewhere.

“In light of the lack of evidence of any effectof breed-specific legislation in reducing dogbite incidence, this strategy requires furtherinvestigation and analysis,” concluded Clarke.

n The Birds are able to freely walk dog Peanut in Tsawwassen without a muzzle. Breed specific by-laws are a jurisdictional jigsaw puzzle in the region. Below, from 2005 to 2015, in the U.S., pit bulls,notes DogsBite.org, have been responsible for 65 per cent of all dog attack deaths. Anti-BSB advo-cates have criticized such data, noting they rely on media reports, which can often misidentify dogs.

change 30 years ago.Wood, now a real estateagent in the Fraser Valley,worked at a kiosk that soldconvenience items — gum,smokes, batteries, film —and rented strollers.

Wood also volunteered —the best way to see Expofor free, she said — at theFolklife exhibit showcasingCanada’s First Nations cul-tures and early settler life.

“They had all sorts ofexhibits, if I remembercorrectly, about early life inCanada,” she said. “Onething I do remember isthey had a show of Que-becois step-dancing. Lotsof stomping around andmusic.”

Expo 86 was the biggestevent B.C. had ever seenin 1986. The World’s Fairdrew 22 million visitorsto the north side of FalseCreek over six months.

“Expo 86 was a pivotalevent in the city’s history,one that showcasedVancouver to the world,bringing global recogni-tion and praise,” notedVancouver Coun. GeorgeAffleck in a recent councilmotion seeking support foran anniversary party. “Theinfrastructure contribu-tions from Expo 86 includethe SkyTrain Expo Line,Science World, BC PlaceStadium, Canada Placeand the Plaza of Nations...”

Prince Charles andPrincess Diana officiallyopened Vancouver’sWorld’s Fair on May 2,1986. The 70-hectare(173-acre) fairgroundsboasted 65 pavilionsshowcasing countries,provinces, territories andcorporations. The exposi-tion closed Oct. 13, 1986with a final attendancefigure of 22,111,578.

Richmond wasn’t directlyinvolved with the big show.Expo 86, as longtime localCoun. Harold Steves noted,was Vancouver’s party —unlike the 2010 Olympics,which had a dramatic ef-fect here in Richmond.

Of course, many Rich-mond residents boughtExpo passes — some com-panies even had payroll de-duction plans to cover thecost of season passes —and CP Air proudly boastedit was the official airline ofExpo 86. But the fair didn’tcross the Fraser River.

Yet, thanks to former B.C.premier Bill Vander Zalm,a piece of Expo 86 culturedid come to Richmond af-ter the fair ended. Remark-ably, it’s still here today.

In 1987, a crew fromNickel Bros. house mov-ers spent several weeksuprooting and moving of aDutch castle — an Expo 86attraction — to Richmondfrom its foundation inDowntown Vancouver.

The castle is a replicaof the Coeverden Castlein the Netherlands — theancestral home of explorerCaptain George Vancouver.Vander Zalm bought thestructure and had it bargedfrom False Creek to No. 5Road and Steveston High-way, where it became partof his theme park FantasyGarden World.

“It was a phenomenalevent,” said Vander Zalmabout the move. “Hun-dreds of people followedthe castle down the streetsof Vancouver, particularlyHowe Street. It was twoo’clock in the morning andthey took all the wiringdown. The castle moved

down the street with policecars up front and behind,as I recall it.”

Launched near the Bur-rard Street Bridge, thecastle-laden barge waspiloted to the south end ofNo. 5 Road. Once on land,a truck moved it into placeat Fantasy Garden World.

“We used it for a Christ-mas store. Initially for atime we were thinking itcould be a meeting hall orthe likes of that. But wefound shortly after that, asa Christmas gift-shop it wasmore of an attraction.”

Although the castle isperhaps best known forshowboating during Expo86, it was actually built—next to Pacific Centre Mall,at the corner of Georgiaand Howe streets — forVancouver centennial cel-ebrations that same year,according to the City ofVancouver Archives.

The castle occupiedprime downtown real estatein front of the Four Sea-sons Hotel, and once bothparties ended, the brickbuilding had to move.

Fantasy Garden World islong gone, but the castlecan still be seen off No.5 Road, awaiting its nextchapter.

It’s now destined to be-come a child care centre atthe entrance to a new No.5 Road park as part of TheGardens development fromTownline Homes.

This year’s theme is“Book A Trip,” so considerchoosing a book that willteach them about differentcountries, such as NationalGeographic’s Ultimate Ad-venture Atlas of Earth.

JULY 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 2016

For those parents who have trouble pry-ing the video game controller out of the

tightened grasp of their offspring in favour ofa real world experience that will get them offthe couch to interact with others, Richmond’sJustin Tang offers some hope.

Tang’s company, Exit Entertainment, hascreated what he is touting as the world’s first, interactive, arcade-style video game.

Exit is known mostly for being the first inNorth America for developing escape roomgames where players are locked inside aroom and have to decipher numerous clues,sometimes in elaborately themed gamesettings and scenarios, to gain exit from thegame and room.

Now, the company, which was launchedwith one location in 2013, is branching outto offer a game that combines elements of avideo game with real life action.

“Essentially, we wanted to bring virtualentertainment into real life,” said Tang, 30who, as the company’s CEO, guided Exit to aRichmond Chamber of Commerce BusinessExcellence Award in 2014 for innovation ofthe year.

Today, there are 11 locations, two in Rich-mond that are considered corporate stores,and nine other franchises — seven in theLower Mainland and two in Alberta.

“Video games offera great experience.However, while theyseem to be connectingpeople by allowing youto play with people on-line, it also pulls peopleapart through decreas-ing social experienceswith their friends andfamilies,” Tang said.

Tang knows this first-hand. He was an avidgamer growing up in Rich-mond where he graduatedfrom Steveston secondary.He would spend hoursplaying just about anythinghe could, especially roleplaying adventures. But herecognized the problems oftoo much screen time andfollowed his vision of a facility where videogames were brought to real life.

“That way, when people wanted to play,they could do so, physically, with theirfriends,” he said.

He started the business with the escaperoom scenarios since they were the simplestto develop. And when they were success-fully received and subsequently mimickedby other businesses, the time was right to upthe stakes a notch and introduce the real life

arcade game experience concept.Tang said he sat down with his team of

employees and threw the challenge out tothem to brainstorm what the next step wouldbe. And this spring Exit rolled out Biohazard:Left For Dead.

Just like video and arcade games, theplayers are given three lives totry and survive. In this case it’sa zombie hoard trying to breakinto the “safe” area of a labora-tory where you and up to twoother players are placed.

“People had stereotyped usas an escape room com-pany, so no matter how weexplained this new concept,they thought it was just anescape room with a zombiein it,” he said, adding thegoal is to try your best tonot leave the room.

“Basically, in this gameyou want to stay in theroom,” Tang added.

In order to do so, play-ers have to successfullycarry out a number of

tasks inside the darkenedconfines to keep the undead hoards frombreaking in.

Among the tasks, which need to be donein a specific amount of time and order, ismaking sure a hand-cranked generator isenergized to maintain your link with an artifi-cial intelligence character, called Elle, who isdisplayed on a big screen TV and helps guideyou through the game.

Then there’s a hand scanner which de-termines if you have contracted the zombievirus.

All the while, you have to fend off, with apistol, animatronic zombies randomly break-ing into the room. If they do, or you fail tokeep the myriad of tasks completed, you losea life.

Keep things ticking along and remainuninfected and your game can stretch up toaround 20 minutes.

“It can be chaos,” Tang said, adding mostplayers new to the game can get dispatchedquite quickly. Thankfully, they can purchasesubsequent game time for half the first-timecost of $12, and try their luck with the experi-ence and knowledge they gained.

But as players progress through differentlevels, the challenges get tougher.

“We wanted to create a new type of experi-ence for those who didn’t want to do puzzlesor riddles like in the escape rooms. This ismore like an action game,” Tang said, addinghe sees this as just one step in his dream todevelop an entertainment facility with an in-creasing emphasis on live action game play.

To that end, Exit will be rolling out a hostof virtual reality-based games at its secondRichmond location on Beckwith Road — atwo-storey, 10,000-square-foot facility — bythe end of this year.

“Customers will be wearing virtual realitygoggles and play in a large theatre,” he said,adding while Exit purchased the licences fora host of virtual reality games, the long-termplan is to develop them in-house.

One of the virtual reality games will bea version of Flappy Birds, the challengingsmart phone app-based game which hasplayers navigate their way around a series ofobstacles.

“To stay aloft people will have to actuallywave their arms, just like a bird flapping theirwings,” Tang said laughing.

Where do you go for a more thanaverage burger? Richmond-headquar-tered Boston Pizza is hoping its newlineup on its menu will entice custom-ers to give them a try. Among thoseadded to the list recently are a spicyperogy burger, a pizza burger and adessert burger (pictured below) withoutany beef but a combination of choco-late ganache and vanilla ice cream,drizzled with caramel sauceand sandwiched betweena warm, sweet bun. Salesof burgers at Boston Pizza,which was founded in1965, make up aboutfive per cent of thecompany’s take. Butit’s only been in thelast six yearsthat burgerswere addedto themenu.

Richmond-based food manufac-turer and distributor Premium BrandsHoldings Corp has announced plans toopen a new sandwich-making plant inPhoenix, Arizona. The company, whichoperates across Canada and a numberof U.S. states, said it will invest approxi-mately $29 million (U.S.) in the 212,000square-foot facility. The funds will gotoward modifying a newly-built plant inthe southwestern U.S. city. PremiumBrands said it will install six high-speedsandwich assembly lines at the site,leaving room for another 12 if needed.The company already operates twosandwich production plants in the U.S.,as well as two in Canada.


The 37th annual Nations Cupkicks off next weekend, with

thousands of players and spectatorsexpected to descend on the soc-cer fields at Hugh Boyd, ManoahSteves and Minoru Park.

A veritable feast of soccer is ex-pected to fill the three-day schedulewhich kicks off Friday, July 15 at6:30 p.m. with multiple games ontap at all three tournament venues.

Some of the best amateur soccerplayers in Western Canada willgrace the grass and turf fields inRichmond, with men and womenas young as teenagers in the Opensection and as old as in their 60sin the over-52 section putting theirskills on show.

Two more teams have beenadded to the over-52 Men’s sectionto bolster their number from six toeight. However, the focus will beon the Men’s Open section, whereperennial favourites and title hold-ers India will do battle with Africa,Portugal and Croatia in what looks,on paper, to be the toughest of thefour round-robin groups.

Other powerhouse nations in theopen section — Ireland and Ger-many — will also have to be at theirbest to win their sections, respec-tively facing Saudi Arabia, Chinaand Iran and Scotland, Serbia andItaly.

“I get asked every year aboutthis time and usually I get a sense

who might be strong from warm-upgames. But this year I haven’t hearda peep, so I’m not that sure,” saidNations Cup president Jeff Wilson,when asked who he fancied to takethe Men’s Open title this year.

“As ever, though, India, Irelandand Germany will likely be strong.”

In the same section, Serbia,added Wilson, had to re-qualify forthe tournament, but managed toovercome Japan in the final qualify-ing game to get back in.

In the Women’s Open section,The Caribbean team pulled out late,so in stepped a new Wales team,which, said Wilson, put its nameinto the hat six months ago and noton the back of the men’s nationalteam’s unprecedented glory run inEuro 2016.

As with most years, added Wilson,the Nations Cup has the potential toexpand, with several teams on thewaiting list in most age groups.

However, the lack of facilities con-tinues to restrict the tournament’sgrowth. “There still is the opportu-nity to expand, but the impedimentis the facilities, there isn’t enoughfields,” said Wilson.

“We could add teams, but we justdon’t have the space and we alsorun the risk of diluting the quality ofthe tournament.”

Friday’s beer garden opens from6:30 p.m. and runs to 11 p.m., nextto the West Richmond CommunityCentre.

Polansky lifts Richmond title

Soccer 'nations'ready to battle

Alan CampbellStaff [email protected]

Canadian Peter Polansky picked up his 15th careerprofessional title with a huge win last week, as he

upset the top seed in the $25,000 Richmond CountryClub Futures final.

The 28-year-old Thornhill, Ont. native defeatedChinese Taipei’s Jason Jung 6-1, 6-4 in the cham-pionship match.

It was the third time that Jung and Polansky facedoff on the pro circuit, and Polansky’s win uppedtheir head-to-head record to 3-0 in the Canadian’sfavour.

Polansky’s singles victory came on the heels ofcapturing the doubles title with fellow CanadianPhilip Bester.

The pair had earlier unhinged Britain’s FarrisFathi Gosea and Tim Kopinski of the United States7-6(2), 6-2.

However, Polansky won’t have too long to bask inthe glory of his phenomenal results in Richmond.

He headed slightly east to compete in the$25,000 Kelowna Futures at Kelowna ParkinsonRecreation Centre last weekend.

Discovering revelationsthrough reflection

With the final leg of myOlympic preparation

underway in St. Moritz,France, I’ve been spendinga lot of time reflecting onwhat this journey means tome and how I got here.

In my reflections, I’ve dugdeep into the pillars of mypersonality and looked athow track has fulfilled thosetraits.

My two strongest traitshave always been a fierycompetitiveness and anabundance of energy. At ayoung age, these traits wentuncontained, which spelleddisaster. I did poorly inschool and struggled tocommunicate effectively.

The latter of those twostems from being an intro-vert in denial. I loved hang-ing out with friends, butwould become emotionallydrained quite quickly andrefusing to remove myselfto recharge on my own, Istubbornly pushed on, usu-ally culminating in someepic tantrum.

My perfect outlet firstcame unknowingly whenI began running in Grade4, thanks to Kingswoodelementary’s lunchtimepopsicle stick runs.

I fell in love with running,trying to push myself fur-ther every day, feeding that

competitive fire. But what Ididn’t know at the time wasthat running was also allow-ing me to reset inside thesolitude of my own head.

Through high schoolthere was a shift and Ibecame too focused on theexternal rewards — trackno longer fulfilled the sameparts of my personality.

Ironically, while I was nolonger intrinsically drivenby it, my extrinsic beinghad become so intertwinedwith “being an athlete” thatI couldn’t possibly fathomquitting, despite not feelingfulfilled.

Luckily, the next bigshift came shortly afterhigh school, when I beganstudying kinesiology atUBC. Learning about hu-man physiology, I devel-oped a passion for gettingthe most out of myself.

While the actual trainingstill didn’t drive me, I sawit as a prerequisite to beinggreat and that was enoughto get through it.

For a number of years,my needs were met by find-ing joy in the outcomes ofthe pursuit, not the pursuititself. Or so I thought.

In my reflections, I cameto realize that, unbe-knownst to me, the traininghad been making me hap-

pier all along.When I didn’t train, I

couldn’t focus and actuallyrevelled in those momentsspent alone with mythoughts.

This year, for the firsttime since I was in el-ementary school, I becameconsciously aware that thetraining was making mehappier and through myreflection, I now have a bet-ter understanding of whythat is.

Knowing this, has alsohad the added effect ofmaking me happier whiletraining, which led to train-ing better, which has led tobeing happier etc… untilI’ve found myself in thebest shape of my life.

With these revelationsfrom my reflections, I findmyself thinking less aboutmy outcome goal for Rioand more about embracingand enjoying this journeythat I’m on, appreciatingwhat sport has done forme.

Don’t get me wrong, I stilldream daily of standing onthat podium, the culmina-tion of a lifetime’s work andI know now, more thanever, that it’s possible.
