You may notice that today’s RichmondNews is a fair bit heftier than usual —
even without the advertising flyers.That’s thanks to our “Best of Richmond”
supplement, listing the results of a readers’poll we ran, asking readers to tell us whatthey think are the best businesses in town.
The project got me thinking what I wouldconsider Richmond’s best features. As I oftenuse this space to tell all who will listen what’swrong with this city, I figure here’s a chanceto talk about what’s right.
Here’s my list of Richmond’s best features:1) Geography: The fact we live on an island
with the Fraser River pouring into the Strait ofGeorgia on either side; the fact one can walknorth along the West Dyke (thank you cityplanners) to see the North Shore mountains,look west to watch the sun setting in thewater or behind Vancouver Island (depend-ing on the time of year); the fact we can doan about-face and see Mount Baker loomingon the horizon. These are features of Rich-mond that inspire awe and wonder. They alsoinspire a powerful sense of protection of ourenvironment, but as this is an all-things-goodcolumn, we’ll leave those nasty bits aboutpipelines, bridges and massive fuel tankersfor another time.
2) My commute to work: I know this is abizarre one for someone living in the LowerMainland, but just yesterday morning, as Ibiked up the Railway Greenway, I marvelledat the rainbow of wild flowers lining my route.Along Granville (especially heading west inMarch) I feel like I’m in a wedding proces-sion with boughs laden with cherry blossomshanging overhead. As I head north on MinoruBoulevard, I look to the Lions, Cypress andGrouse mountains. (In winter, when there isa fresh snowfall on the mountains, the viewis simply breathtaking.) My commute is 25minutes of easy, flat riding — just enough toget the blood flowing in the morning and thestress releasing in the evening. I ride year-round, rarely get soaked and honestly don’tknow why more people don’t do it.
3) Low crime rate: I know crime happensand it’s devastating when it does. But, com-paratively, this is a remarkably safe city.
4) Our community centres: I’ve waxed onabout this before, but I have to mention sucha fine example of why I like to pay taxes.
5) The people: I’ve lived in other placeswhere folks are quicker with a smile and maybe more connected, but I’ve still met sometruly beautiful people here; friendly parentson the soccer pitch and caring neighbourswho help out. Through this job, I’ve also metsome gems, in person and on the pages ofthe paper. People who fight the good fight,support others and do their part to createa caring community. It’s these people whoshow us all the “Best of Richmond.”

Busses not the problem
Cuts put lives at sea in danger

Dear Editor,Re: “City seeks solution for bus loop fears,”
News May 20.The city suggested in a recent Richmond
News article that the number and schedulingof transit busses and where they park alongChatham Street are the major traffic prob-lems.
This is not entirely the case.The traffic problems along Chatham Street
are not exclusive to transit busses. Theproblem is, in fact, the speed a lot of driversexhibit along the Chatham Street straightawayfrom No. 1 Road to Seventh Avenue.
Having lived at the corner of ChathamStreet and Fourth Avenue since 1976, I haveseen a significant increase in the numberof cars, busses and commercial vehiclespassing through this intersection at excessivespeed.
At the Chatham Street and Fourth Avenuecorner, the white pickets installed for theprotection of pedestrians using the ChathamStreet crosswalk are, in fact, part of the trafficproblem.
I have seen large vehicles, everything fromschool and charter busses visiting the Gulf ofGeorgia Cannery site, to movie industry trucksand trailers, making very wide turns, puttingthemselves into the oncoming traffic lane,because they can’t negotiate the turn aroundthese pickets.
The removal of the pickets would make thiscorner safer for vehicle traffic.
To improve pedestrian safety at this corner,install a demand light, similar to the ones onChatham Street at First and Second Avenues.Currently, pedestrians at Chatham Street andFourth Avenue step off the curb into the road-way as far as the line of pickets so they cansee and be seen past parked vehicles.
This dangerous practice could be eliminat-ed with a proper demand light, which wouldkeep pedestrians on the sidewalk until it wassafe to cross.
As well as a pedestrian demand light, afour-way stop for vehicles at Chatham Streetand Fourth Avenue would address the issuesof both pedestrian safety and vehicle speedalong Chatham Street.
I would also recommend an enforced 30kph speed limit for the entire length of Cha-tham Street.
Will it take another tragic accident toconvince the city to immediately addressChatham Street traffic problems?
Taking busses off this route is not the solu-tion. Some rather simple safety measures,namely a 30 kph speed limit, a four-waytraffic stop and a pedestrian demand light atChatham Street and Fourth Avenue, would goa long way to improving safety for all.

Dear Editor,The federal Liberal MP
for Steveston -RichmondEast, Joe Peschisolido,is no friend of the com-mercial fishing fleet inSteveston.
He and his fellow B.C.Liberal MPs okayed more
cuts to the Coast Guard’sSAR resources.
Peshisolido okayed theMay 10 closure to the Ca-nadian Coast Guard ComoxCommunications Station.
With this closure, if youare in trouble out on thewater, your distress call will
be harder to make out andcould be subject to “com-munications blackouts.”
You can thank yourLiberal MP, Peschisolido,for putting your life injeopardy.

“Learning should be fun,” says JadeChan, CentreDirector at SylvanLearningCentre. She’s passionate
that academic tutoring need not be boring,repetitive, or punitive.“I believe in a student-centred approach to
education that supports kids learning at theirown pace,” she explains. “Learning programsneed to be constantly adjusted to each child’sneeds, whether they are gifted students orfind some aspects of education challenging.”Jade specifically chose the Sylvan Learning
Centre because it shares her passion. She feelsit’s the ideal place to put her own educationto good use.“I have a degree in linguistics with aminor
in special education and ESL learning,” shesays, “alongwith a certificate in education forteaching grades K – 12.”Sylvan LearningCentre began in the
United Statesmore than 30 years ago andexpanded into B.C., first in Surrey and thenRichmond.With approximately 120 studentsat any given time, the Richmond campusprides itself on a low teacher to student ratio.“We have one teacher for every three
students,” Jade explains. “Thatway, studentsare able to receivemore attention andsupport, but they can also develop theirindependence and social skills.”Academic programs are carefully tailored
to each individual child. Sylvan Learning
Centre tutors keep in frequent contact withparents to discuss the changing needs oftheir child and any areas they feel should beaddressed.“We providemonthly conferences for
parents and also have regular conversationswith students about how they’re doing atschool andwhat they think their strengthsandweaknesses are. Andwe celebrate everysmall success to keep kidsmotivated andinterested in learning.”To find outmore about the Sylvan

LETTERSto the Editor
A bridge too far and expensive
Dear Editor,Re: “Six lanes and a train,
get on it,” Letters, May 13Great letter by Lynne
Jones. The grandiose, 10-lane “election year” MasseyBridge is overkill, far largerthan currently necessary, toointrusive, too far-reaching andtoo expensive.
The planning for it hasconsumed years of studyand caused a great deal ofdiscontent and is still not adone deal.
Assuming, as reported, thatthe existing tunnel has notbeen condemned and thatthe Fraser River marine vesselclearance is not an issue forthe Port Metro Vancouver,why not maintain the exist-ing tunnel for a four-lane(three, plus HOV) southboundroute, as all the roads andapproaches are generally inplace?
Then, construct a moreeconomical narrower north-bound, five-lane bridgeimmediately to the east of thetunnel to line up with the re-cently constructed four lanesof blacktop leading from thenew South Fraser PerimeterRoad.
The new bridge deck couldhave four, reasonably wide
lanes for vehicles, all north-bound (three, plus HOV).
The fifth lane could be asmaller, separate barrierspace for two-way pedestriansand bicycles located on thewest side of the bridge deck.
The north end of the newbridge should include an up-grade to ease the congestedsection of Steveston Highwayand have an overpass ofHighway 99 integrated with amerge to the existing three-lane freeway.
The new construction couldbe an H-type cable stayed orsuspension style bridge withprovision to facilitate a futurefive-lane, southbound deckbelow the initial northbounddeck.
The initial constructionshould include all the supportto enable the southbounddeck to be installed withoutdisrupting the northbounddeck above.
The lower deck could beconstructed when the MasseyTunnel is beyond its usefullife, in say another 20 years,and as a separate project.
This will defer a significantamount of the proposed fund-ing and will be a legacy for afuture consideration.
The initial bridge construc-
tion should include a lowersupport base for a light railtrain at the lower level,directly below the west sidepedestrian/cycle path.
This will locate the LRTguideway between the northand southbound Highway99 lanes and be an effectiverouting for security and safetynear the grade level freeway.
The LRT could then pro-ceed as soon as funding isapproved without disruptionto the initial bridge traffic flow.
This bridge solution wouldfacilitate river crossing trafficalternatives in an emergency,by use of a counter-flowsystem.
Also, in a catastrophicearthquake event, alternativeswould be immediately avail-able to route all traffic by thebridge, assuming it would sur-vive even if the tunnel failed.
The eventual separating ofthe north and southboundbridge decks would also be avehicle safety attribute.
One would think that aphased, double stack, five-lane bridge would be moreeconomical and less intrusiveand would address the im-mediate traffic issues.

Dear Editor,A week ago, when I walked to Elm-
bridge Way near Gilbert Road, I sawpiles of construction waste randomlyput along the side of a pedestrianwalkway, not even separated by asimple fence.
Some of the wood strips with manylarge nails were pointing upwards,while other heavy-duty steel I-beamshad twisted, sharp edges.
This construction waste alongElmbridge Way was a great road safetyconcern for pedestrians and drivers.
In that area, most of the pedestrianwalkways are blocked due to the build-ing construction.
Elmbridge Way at Gilbert Road isone of the routes for senior pedestri-ans to walk from their homes to T & T
Supermarket and for kids going to theOlympic Oval.
It is also a busy road connecting toYVR, Gilbert Road and WestminsterHighway.
Today, I went there and saw that thewaste was still there. It seems that theconstruction company is not going todispose of it any time soon and doesn’tcare much about public safety.
I don’t know if the company has acity permit to occupy the road surfaceand block the pedestrian walkways?Shouldn’t the City of Richmond orWorkSafe BC regulate this improperbehaviour?
I think public safety should be ourcommunity’s priority.

“If it turns out that this woman wasindeed trying to profit from our situa-
tion and that a despicable fraud has beencommitted, I will be pursuing this to itsfullest extent…”
Suffice to say, Lia Weekes’ emotionswere flowing this week back and forthbetween utter disbelief and anger.
Considering, however, she’d confronteda woman raising money for Weekes’ seri-ously ill son, Joshua, allegedly under falsepretences, the little boy’s mom showedincredible restraint.
Earlier this month, Richmond momWeekes — whose six-year-old son has leu-kemia and urgently needs a bone marrowtransplant — had heard from a relativethat a fundraising table was set up outsidea Coquitlam supermarket, with Joshua’sface plastered all over posters.
A woman at the table was asking formoney from the public to “help with costs”and claimed to work for the CanadianBlood Services (CBS).
Weekes and Joshua’s godmotherdecided to go and see the table and thewoman, now identified by Global BC asKyra Kathleen Foster.
“From the very beginning it didn’t feelright,” Weekes told the Richmond Newson Wednesday.
“All of the other CBS drives werediligently communicated to us and thisinstance was a complete surprise. We hadalso never had CBS offer to solicit fundsfor the family...
“(Foster’s) story kept changing and I be-gan to feel more and more uncomfortableabout the situation.”
At first, Weekes didn’t want to believesomeone would be trying to capitalize onher son’s fight for life, but “red flags keptpresenting themselves,” including Fosterhaving her own credit card swiper at thetable.
Weekes contacted CBS, but Foster hadgot to them first. “CBS told us that (Foster)must have had good intentions but gottenconfused and she was willing to give usthe funds she had raised on that one day.
“So, I accepted the funds and thanked
(Foster), even though the situation stilldidn’t feel quite right.”
A week later, Foster, despite claimingshe’d only fundraised that one time, had,in fact, been seen using Joshua’s plight tosolicit funds from the public on a total offour occasions at three different grocerystores. CBS has said that it does not solicitfunds on behalf of any family.
And it turns out, Foster was spotted rais-ing money for a different child in Ladner inMarch and Westshore RCMP on Vancou-ver Island are investigating a similar setupin Langford last Christmas.
According to Global BC, Foster has a his-tory in the court system. In 2005, she wasordered to pay a Halifax property companymore than $15,000. More recently, a courtordered her to pay more than $2,000 toher ex-landlords. They never received themoney.
Foster told Global, via email, that shehas been campaigning for sick childrenand she just had another family ask herfor help.
Coquitlam RCMP is now investigatingFoster, however, the detachment’s mediaspokesperson, Const. Jamie Phillipson,said via email to the News that the “ul-timate goal is to determine if a criminaloffence took place or if it was a case of

Refugee wins $1M lawsuit
Weekes: Incident caused stress
Ajudge has awarded a refugee from theDemocratic Republic of Congo just over
$1 million after the man was hit in a Rich-mond car crash and suffered injuries thatreignited his post-traumatic stress disorder.
Olivier Yewa Shongu was born in andraised in the DRC, where a civil war in the1990s disrupted his university educationand led to the violent deaths of his parentsand other family members.
He suffered nightmares, hallucinations,social phobia and panic and was diagnosedwith post-traumatic stress disorder. Shongufled the country in 2005.
Shongu made his way to Vancouver, andfrom the time of his arrival to July 2012, hewas able to keep his PTSD under controlfollowing a brief period of treatment.
“Mr. Shongu was in good health andleading a productive and happy life,” wroteJustice Robert J. Sewell’s in his decision.
“In that time, he obtained full-time em-ployment..., met and married his wife andbegan a family. His wife described him ashappy and social in that period.”
In July 2012, Shongu was working as amobile security guard in Richmond, whenhis car was involved in an accident on No.3 Road, just off Sea Island Way.
As a result, he suffered injuries to hisneck, shoulder, back and jaw and began toexperience “a relapse of psychiatric symp-toms following the accident.” Shongu hadnot worked since the accident.
The other driver, Jing Li, disagreed thatShongu’s symptoms were prompted bythe accident, and denied responsibility forthe collision. However, Sewell noted thatthe statement Li gave to ICBC immediatelyfollowing the accident and her in-court ac-count of the collision were not consistent.

When 47-year-old school bus driver TomColins heard his job was in danger
as a result of proposed budget cuts by theRichmond School District, he started draftinga letter to the board of education.
Despite several re-writes, by the time hegot up to the podium at a meeting, to dis-cuss the proposed cuts, nothing he wrotemattered — he spoke from his heart and
began sobbing at the prospect of missinghis students. He never once voiced concernabout his own personal situation.
It’s not a typical scene at a public meet-ing, nor is it expected from a gentleman theRichmond News described as “burly.”

where he still lives — Colins worked inlandscaping for most of his adult years untilfinding a new job with Coast Mountain BusCompany four years ago. After one year, hemoved to the district.
A family man — with a wife of 18 yearsand two sons — there are few questionsyou can ask of Colins that won’t garner aresponse that doesn’t involve the consider-ation of others, especially family.
What does he do when he’s not at work?He crabs, fishes and rides bikes with hiskids.
If not with his kids, then what?“I hang out with my wife, go out for din-
ner, work on my home,” said Colins.His two boys have learning challenges,
something that has given Colins the pa-tience required for transporting students inneed of one-on-one care.
He helps coach both his sons in sports,which helps break his 14-year-old son outof his shell.
“We’ll go at each other. It’s fun. And it’s achallenge,” he chuckles.
He also cracks shells at work, a job henotes is not just driving students from pointA to point B.
“When I started, I said I would drive anybus, any route, any time, it doesn’t matter.And then I got this run and you work withthe same bus aide day-in and day-out,”said Colins. “We have one little girl whocame on the bus and she kept her headdown at first. But slowly she raised her
head and she liked to go a certain (route). . . if it was a different way she would getupset. Now she gets on the bus and she’syelling my name and she’s looking at mein the mirror and saying ‘boo,’ — that’s herlatest thing. The kids, you make a bondwith them. And it’s their decision if they ac-cept you or not,” explained Colins.
He said his job is part of the educationprocess, as getting kids to and from schoolin a comfortable and reliable manner helpsparents, teachers and colleagues. If kidsshow up to school “off the wall,” it can havean immediate impact on learning in theclassroom, noted Colins.
He questions if the same job can be donein a for-profit environment, should the dis-trict privatize the service, as proposed.
“Would a private for-profit company sendout two people on a 45-minute round tripfor one student?”
n Driving fines double for failing
to stop for Tom
Last week, the provincial governmentannounced it will more than double thefines for drivers who fail to stop for a parkedschool bus with its lights flashing.
Minister of Transportation Todd Stonesaid fines will increase from $167 to $368,to come in line with other Canadian prov-inces.
According to the government, between2009 and 2011, 1,100 violation ticketshave been issued by police for such infrac-tions.
While no child in B.C. has died while get-ting on or off a bus, 14 have been injured.

Last year, El Nino brought the LowerMainland steady days of sunshine, high
humidity and hot weather. It was a wake upcall on realizing water is not a renewableresource at certain times of the year.
Watering restrictions are again in effect,two weeks early this year.
Drought conditions can be a gardener’sworst nightmare. When a hot, dry weatherpattern settles in, it affects your landscapein a variety of ways. There’s nothing youcan do to prevent a drought, but there aresome strategies you can do to help mini-mize the effect it has on your landscape.
The most obvious way a drought affectsyour garden is the way it makes your plantslook: Healthy green leaves wilt, developcrispy brown edges, or die completely; flow-ers fade more quickly or fail to appear at all;and plants (even weeds) grow more slowly.Drought weakens your plants, increasinghow susceptible they are to attack frominsects and disease.
It also makes plants less winter-hardy,especially if the drought occurs in the fallas plants are going dormant. The hot, dryconditions have a lasting effect, too. Treesand shrubs, in particular, can take severalyears to fully recover from drought. TheCity of Richmond lost several trees to thedrought last year.
There are some things you can do duringdrought conditions to conserve water andkeep your plants healthy.
Most garden plants like about an inchof moisture per week. In most cases, it isbetter to apply the water weekly or everyother week. It’s a bit of a waste to give yourplants less water more frequently. Doingso discourages the roots from growing asdeeply into the soil (where it stays moisterlonger) as they can, and it’s also inefficientas more water is lost to evaporation.
A two to three-inch-deep layer of mulchover the soil can do wonders. It keeps thesoil cooler and shields the ground from di-rect sun. The benefit is that moisture staysin the soil longer, where it’s more availableto your garden plants.
Run a soaker hose underneath yourmulch to maximize water savings. Waterwill be delivered directly to the ground(reducing evaporation) and slowly (reduc-ing water loss to runoff). It will also keep

THE
ROAD
RULESwww.roadrules.ca
These days the electric vehicle (EV) seems a marvelof 21st century technology and an environmentalsuccess. In fact, electrically powered vehicles have
operated continuously, albeit for niche purposes, sincethe mid-19th century: for example, milk delivery via ‘milkfloats’ especially in the UK, and, since the early 1950s,golfer transport.
Is any vehicle as universally loved and laughed at as thehumble little golf cart? But despite the EV’s long historyand the shine of its new manifestations, consumers havehesitated. According to GreenCarReports, in Canada in2016, of the bumper crop of 1.9 million total passengervehicles sold, roughly 6,600 were EVs, a market share ofroughly .033%.
Since peaking in 2012, DesRosier Automotive Consultantsreported last quarter that hybrid sales are down 32%. InOntario, the vehicle ‘fleet’ of Canada’s most populousprovince includes only 5,800 EVs. Other motorizedjurisdictions have similar statistics: the US has 36.3% ofglobal sales with over 363,000 cars delivered since 2008through August 2015, but last year EV sales fell 17%;Germany, with six times the population of Ontario, hasbeen aiming since 2010 for (just!) one million EVs on theroad by 2020. So far—50,000— with the optimistic revisedgoal of 100,000 by 2020.
Consumers are hesitant for many reasons. The standardset of worries includes range, the still spotty re-charginginfrastructure, the lengthy re-charge process, andthe relatively high cost without offsetting gas savings,especially these days, and the ongoing development ofthe technology. There is also the pesky question of theirenvironmental beneficence.
In a short video at https://www.facebook.com/oilfieldzone/videos/10153918476383913/ Bjorn Lombard,a high a technology writer, compares CO2 emissionsproduced in the manufacture, operation, and ultimatescrapping of EVs and gasoline powered cars. He exploresEVs as ‘coal-powered’ vehicles and the ‘wishful thinking’that renewables like wind and solar will soon replacefossil fuel based electricity generation.
What then might persuade an average vehicle buyer tojump on board this ever-changing bandwagon? Basedon the enthusiastic response to Tesla’s recent launch ofthe Model 3 —roughly 275,000 consumers have paid therequisite $1,000 deposit for the 2016 model, delivery ofwhich may not happen for two to three years—Matt Teske,a marketing expert in Portland Oregon set out to provethat the problem is simply the age-old one of productdesirability.
Mr. Teske published information about an imaginaryconcept EV named the Chevrolet Jolt EV complete witha sophisticated website touting all its latest desirablefeatures: 230 miles of estimated range, advanced on-board safety technology, fully customizable touch screendisplay and dashboard, for under $30,000. Within hours,traffic to the site crashed his server. “The site wasn’t everabout tricking anyone,” he said. “It was a way to showautomakers that if they offered more compelling electriccars, consumers would respond.”
Another motivator in Ontario, at least, may be governmentmandate. Last week, Premier Wynne’s governmentpromised a program to encourage in the near future thereplacement of millions of gasoline-powered cars withelectrically powered motor vehicles.
There is, however, one problem with all of this. When thepower grid is down – a serious local and national concernthat we avoid thinking about - there will be no re-chargingand only petroleum powered and hybrid vehicles will beoperating.

plant foliage dry, which helpsprevent many common fun-gal diseases such as blackspot on roses.
If you apply fertilizers, stopat the onset of a drought.Fertilizers encourage plantgrowth. The more a plantgrows, the more moistureit needs. If fertilizer saltsbuild up in your soil becausethey’re not naturally leach-ing out with rain or irrigation,they can build up and burnplant roots, causing furtherdamage.
Getting those weeds outof the garden is especiallyimportant during drought.The reason: weeds’ rootssteal valuable moisture fromthe soil.
Removing spent bloomsbefore they have a chanceto set seed saves energy foryour plants. They don’t needto put extra energy (whichthey need water for) intoproducing seeds.
During times of drought,our gardens show signs ofstress. Our lawns will brownout. Take heart, though — inmost cases, the lawn is notdead but merely dormantand will regain its green
colour as soon as adequatemoisture returns. (A lawnrequires only one-quarter ofan inch of water every threeweeks to stay alive.)
The initial symptom ofdrought stress on treesand shrubs is a marginalscorching of leaves, and insome cases wilting of entireplants. Yellowing of interiorneedles on evergreens mayalso occur. When irrigated,by either irrigation or rainfall,most plants will recover. Theseason following a drought,plants may show reducedshoot and diameter growth,smaller or fewer leaves, andvarying degrees of dieback.Weakened trees and shrubscan also be expected to havemore disease and insectproblems for several years tocome. Evergreens especially,may brown, drop needlesand die suddenly.
Concentrate your effortson plants that mean themost to you, are hardest toreplace and most valuable.Annuals should be your lastconcern! When choosing newplants for your gardens, lookfor hardy drought resistantplants.
Woody plants most in needof supplemental irrigation are
those that were planted thisyear or within the last fewseasons. Trees and shrubsthat have been in the groundlonger are more likely tohave better developed rootsystems that can use largevolumes of soil to get thewater they need.
Another category ofvulnerable woody plantsare shade-loving trees andshrubs, especially those thathave been planted in a fullsun location.
Examples are: floweringdogwood, Japanese maple,rhododendron and otherbroad-leaved evergreens.Ash, birch and maple areparticularly sensitive todrought stress.
Even if leaves wilt during ahot day, most plants will re-cover at night if sufficient soilmoisture is present. Plantsthat do not recover overnightmust be watered to preventpermanent damage.
For those people living incondominium or townhousescomplexes, do not forgetto water the trees on theboulevards in front of yourcomplex.

Richmond will host oneof the world’s largest tall
ships next May when Japan’sKaiwo Maru returns to Ste-
veston Harbour as part of thecity’s Canada 150 festivities.
Known as the “King of theSea,” the four-masted, navaltraining tall ship, measuresin at more than110 metres(360-feet) in length, witha main mast that is 43.5metres (143 feet) tall and willbe carrying a crew of 200Japanese sail and maritimetraining cadets.
The Kaiwo Maru is due toarrive in Richmond on May
3, 2017 and will be dockedat Garry Point Park until herdeparture on May 8, 2017.
During its visit, the ship willbe available for three daysof free boarding and tours.While docked, the crew willalso stage the popular SailDrill, in which dozens ofmembers of the crew climbhigh into the four masts tolower and raise its 36 sails,which in total comprise 2,760square metres.
Driver error is believed tobe the cause of an SUV
plowing into the wall of afitness centre earlier thisweek.
Around 12:45 p.m. onMonday, May 23, Nancy Linwas inside Sunberry Fitness
in Fairchild Square at 4400Hazelbridge Way when aHonda Pilot crashed intothe front wall of her busi-ness.
Lin said she and her busi-ness partner were about 10feet away from the wall atthe time and they feel “verylucky” to have escapedinjury.
The collision, according to
Lin and Richmond RCMP,caused significant damageto the building envelope.
No serious injuries werereported, however, the twooccupants of the HondaPilot — who were taken tohospital — were shaken up,but otherwise uninjured.
The driver, said police,was a male Richmond resi-dent in his mid-60s.

What a crazy week. It’s hard to main-tain a competition-level lifestyle of
healthy eating and constant working outwhen life happens.
I got rather sick last week, went on along weekend vacation and had a verybusy work week when I returned! I didn’twork out once all week!
Sorry, Gabrielle Payne (my personaltrainer at the City Centre CommunityCentre).
That being said, Ididn’t eat much when Iwas sick and my vaca-tion did involve somelarge hikes and lots ofwalking, so I wasn’tentirely the poorest per-forming contestant.
Speaking of contes-tants, my competitor in the News’ FitnessChallenge, Rob “The Mongoose” Akimow,has a mischievous and confident look onhis face today. I think he has some tricksup his sleeve or that he may have actuallylost more weight than me, for once. Afterall, his pants are looking pretty baggytoday.
I think I should take this new-foundcockiness from the Mongoose as the mo-
tivation I need to get back on the workouttrain. Actually, I won’t need to use any ofthis “mongoosing” as motivation.
Once Gabrielle reads this article, shewill read me the riot act and that will be allthe motivation I need to get back on myschedule!
As I write this, I’m dreading the nextseven-day outline that she prepares forme. It’s probably going to be full of bur-pees, chin-ups and more of the dreadedinterval sprints on the treadmill. Gabriellewill probably bring back the two-a-dayworkouts that started me of on this jour-ney to weight loss. It’s going to be painful,
but I think I deserve it afterthe past week of inaction;it’s going to help me winthis competition.
There are only 11 daysleft until the final weigh-in.It’s time to step it up andclose this out and leaveThe Mongoose in my dust.
After discussing my end game strategywith Richmond News reporter Alan Camp-bell, and the rest of the editorial team,they suggested the best strategy wouldbe to stop working out, have a few beers,and to coast in to the finish line, while TheMongoose steps up his effort for his finalpush.
A futile final push I would suggest. Takethat, Mongoose!
Going into the recent Victoria Day longweekend, I was at a crossroads.
Do I throw eight weeks of workouts andgood eating habits to the wind and devourthe pizza, donuts, burgers, sausages andbeers that would be front and centre at myfriend Bruce’s long weekend BBQ extrava-ganza?
Or do I continue down the righteous pathof clean eating and little drinking and eatthe cucumber plate Bruce’s lovely wife,Karen, (a Quilchena elementary schoolteacher, shout out to the Cyclones) put outfor me?
While tempting (particularly the donuts),the answer was clear. I stayed true to myeating habits, devoured two steaks and heldback on the treats.
Conversely, I do knowCollin “Après Ski” Nealwas kicking back in Tofinoon the long weekend,chowing down on Van-couver Island’s finest eatsand apparently drinkingenough to make even thelowliest sailor proud.
When I walked into the City Centre Com-munity Centre for my unofficial weigh-inthis Tuesday, I came in a solid four poundslighter than the previous Thursday.
As you may have read in last week’scolumn, now, more than ever, is “go time”for #TeamMongoose if I stand a chance atwinning this Fitness Challenge.
It appears as though my wife was right, inthe end. No matter what, it will be one thing,
and one thing above all, that will carry me tovictory in this challenge — my ego.
Still, I must not get ahead of myself, June6 is the official end date of the challengeand there is plenty of contest left and I mustbe vigilant in my quest to crush Collin.
I’ve also made the decision to continuewith my trainer, A.J., after the challenge iscomplete.
I am enjoying the stronger, lighter me. Iam not enjoying the “crow push-ups” andthe “battle ropes” but truth is, they provideresults.
A few weeks ago, I said lizard crawls arethe hardest thing ever, but I was wrong. It’sdefinitely the crow push-ups.
Speaking of those, I now have a new-found hatred for crows.
This week, I found myself on the CanadaLine getting irrationally angry thinking abouthow people say crows remember faces.
“Stupid crows, no wait, stupid people,” Ithought to myself. “Howdo they know crows re-member faces?”
Who comes up withthat stuff? Are there crowscientists? If there are,then why?
Shouldn’t they be focus-ing on more important things other thancrows remembering faces?
I digress.On another note, my wife says my diet is
affecting my behaviour and that sometimesI go on illogical tangents about things like ...well, crows.
I am not sure if I believe her.Until next week, Richmond. #TeamMon-
goose.

Day 8:Today we went on a boat cruise on West Lakein the morning. This is the second boat tourI’ve been on since we arrived in China and itdefinitely didn’t disappoint. West Lake is a veryserene body of water, surrounded by mountainswith jewel-like pagodas dotting the shores. Wewere lucky enough to dock at the pagodas andget out to explore. Sheltered carp ponds andtraditional style bridges gave us a lot to seeand photograph! This afternoon we visited theLongjing Green Tea Plantation and tried sometraditionally dried teas. I can only say – wow!I will be much more picky about the teas I buyat home now!

This discussion is not a variation of Elizabeth Browning’s famouspoem. It is about the tragedy described in the case Brownv. Pearce Estate (whose reasons for judgment were recentlyreleased).The case is a claim for variation of a mother’sWill byher son, the Plaintiff.
BackgroundThedeceased died in late-2012. She hadmarried twice and hada common law relationship. In her first marriage, she had twochildren, one of whomwas the Plaintiff.Thatmarriage ended indivorce, and in 1973, the deceased remarried.
Her second husband had a child from a previous relationship.That child, a daughter, died tragically in a car accident in 1989.After that incident, the deceased’s secondmarriage eventuallyended in 1995.
In 1999, the deceased entered a relationship which was happy,until the husband died unexpectedly in 2004. After thatrelationship, she declined into depression and alcoholism, anddied at age 68.
Her eldest child, the Plaintiff, was born in 1965 andmarried in1990.Thatmarriage ended in 1993. In 1995, he started living withhis second wife (theymarried in 2001).They had a daughter whonever met the deceased.Thatmarriage ended as well.
The Plaintiff ’s relationship with his mother was poor, thoughseemingly not as poor as described in his evidence. He testifiedto an abusive relationship, including not having enough foodwhen he was young and never being appreciated.
The relationship seemed to end in 1995, when the deceasedmoved out of her house to end her secondmarriage.Thedeceased asked the Plaintiff to help her, and when he arrivedat the house, he startedmoving things out onto the front lawn,embarrassing the deceased.
The ensuing fight seemed to cause considerable frustration onboth sides, and the Plaintiff seemed to have lost interest in theirrelationship.There was only sporadic contact afterward, whichcaused the deceased considerable sadness.
Around 2005, the deceased sold her home and gave thePlaintiff ’s sister $200,000 of the proceeds. She did not give thePlaintiff anything and, in herWill, bequeathed him $10,000.ThePlaintiff sought to vary herWill.
Court’s decisionTheCourt heard evidence from eight witnesses, several of whomcontradicted the Plaintiff ’s evidence -- including his sister, whotestified that they observed no shortage of food in the household.
The Court analyzed the law ofWills Variation, referring to themost important case (Tataryn v. Tataryn Estate) and subsequentcases, and discussed the obligations of aWill maker with respectto their legal andmoral duties toward children.
The Court considered the abuse the deceased endured, and thePlaintiff ’s apparent unwillingness to have a relationship with herover some years.
The Court held that the deceased’s reasons for not leaving thePlaintiff amore generous bequest were valid and rational. Sincetheir estrangement was the Plaintiff ’s fault, her bequest was not“unjust or inequitable,” and her moral duty toward himwasnegated.The Plaintiff ’s claimwas dismissed, and theWill stood.
SummaryTheCourt delivered a thorough and thoughtful analysis of afamily’s tragic circumstances. On the evidence, the Plaintiffchose not to have or rekindle a relationship with his nowdeceasedmother.The reasons are not wholly clear, but areprobably complex.
TheWill gave reasons for themodest bequest, and due to thenature of the relationship, the Plaintiff had a difficultcase tomeet, and he failed. In these cases, and inmany ways, relationships are an important factor forthe Court in deciding whether to vary aWill.
How important are relationships–letme count theways!
Title planning 101The dramatic price increases in real estate here over the past couple of yearshas affected peoples’ Estate planning and has triggered more discussion ofwhat to do with titles to properties they own.
What we are facing
There is in my opinion still a lot of uncertainty, that stems from how ownersview title and ownership of property, because they are not the same. Aperson may be a registered owner on title to a property but that does notindicate full ownership.
I’ll start with a couple of points, in order to clarify.
First, what a title to any property tells you is, most important, the name(s)of the owner(s) of the legal title. They may or may not have paid to acquireit. They may have been added to the title. The title is then some evidence ofownership of the property.
The other type of ownership of property is called “beneficial” ownership. Itis not always indicated by the identity of the registered owner. A “beneficial”owner of property owns a legal interest in the property but not title. Such anowner has most likely made a contribution of some sort to the property suchthat they have acquired an interest in the property.
The concept of beneficial ownership can be confusing, especially if a beneficialowner is not the registered owner shown on title.
Legal and Tax
Second, there are two considerations persons need to take in every titleplan. The first are the legal ramifications of any particular title registration.For example, a couple in a marriage-like relationship, who buy a propertyand register title in both their names as joint tenants, need to know that ifone of them dies, the other will take full legal title by right of survivorship(andmaybe the beneficial ownership as well).Theymay ormay not want that,especially if the relationship is a subsequent one and the people each havechildren from prior relationships.The second consideration in a title plan arethe tax ramifications of any particular registration. For example, if a marriedcouple choose to add a child as a registered owner on title, in order to avoidthe property falling into their Estate when they pass, they need to know thatthere is a risk that the child (assuming the child does not live on the property)will incur a capital gain when the property is later sold.
In my opinion, the most important thing to know in title planning isthat every purchase should be planned. It is true that many purchases arestraightforward. I expect, for example, that most married couples registertheir principal residence in both names, as joint tenants. But, that willnot necessarily apply every time. If one of the members of the couple is aprofessional who is at risk, from thework they do, of being liable in negligenceclaims (for example, Engineers or Lawyers), registering title only in the nameof the non-professional person might be appropriate.
In addition, if the property being purchased is a non-residential property(such as a revenue property or a cottage by the lake), it may or may not beappropriate to register title in both names or even in a company name (suchas in a family holding company). Again, it has to be discussed and that is bestdone at the time of purchase.
Avoiding Probate fees
This remains a significant topic for many families in their Estate planning.The intention is to avoid having a property fall into a person’s Estate whenthey die. The reduction in the Estate value and subsequent reduction inprobate fees (currently at 1.4% in B.C.) is attractive. But there is risk, and itarises in transferring a title to someone who does not live on the propertyand/or who does not pay anything for the interest they get.
Legally, there is no great problem in the title transfer. Legal title is typicallytransferred fairly easily and in the effort to avoid Probate fees, a joint tenancyis established with the person being added, or the property is gifted to anotherperson (usually a child). But without proper documentation, a transfer of thetitle may not include a transfer of the beneficial interest of the person. Inmy opinion, CRA views transfers to non-spouses as dispositions. The personreceiving the registered interest is deemed to receive it at fair market valuethough they usually pay nothing for it. If they sell the property say after thetransferring person passes away, the capital gain to the person who was addedon to title can be as high as the full sale price of the property (because theircost is $0). Again, some steps need to be discussed and taken at the time ofthe contemplated transfer.
In my opinion, the capital gain tax cost (half the gain is taxed as income) isusually far higher than the amount of the Probate fee being saved. Having ahigher valued Estate is not “the end of the world” and may be cheaper thanengaging in a dispute with CRA.
Summary
Title planning has become a very important part of Estate planning. Asvalues of real estate in the lower mainland have risen dramatically in the last20 years, so have the risks involved in any title planning. It should be saidthat if a couple owns a property (whether a residence or other property),if possible they should register title in both names. That way, if one personpasses, any capital gain is deferred until the other person passes. Havingsaid that, where any two or more persons buy a property, there should bea discussion with their advisor(s), before the purchase closes, regardinghow title should be registered. Buyers should know the risks involved inany particular title registration, immediate and into the future. If at a latertime it is decided to change the title, again, this requires a lotof discussion and not only with a Lawyer but also in my viewwith an Accountant, so that any tax implications are knownand taken into consideration.

With the World Race Walking TeamChampionships, my first major competi-
tion of the year, behind me, everything nowfocuses on Rio.
Because my major focus for the Olympicsis on the 50 km distance, I have elected tobypass the remaining international races so Ican slog away the high mileage weeks I needto get me into peak shape when I step on thestart line in Brazil.
My training from here on out will be split upinto two distinct training blocks.
The first training block will be done here inRichmond, where I will be laying down thegauntlet with up to 200 km weeks until theend of June.
After a short rest, I’ll be off to St. Moritz,Switzerland for the second block, a high-intensity altitude block.
St. Moritz is one of the most beautifulplaces on Earth and I’ll lucky enough to trainthere along side many Olympic and WorldChampionship medalists.
The 50 km distance is very unforgiving andevery time I’ve done one I’ve gained a wealthof experience.
I’ve then been able to take that experienceand apply it to the next race and this strategyis part of the reason that I have improved ineach of the five 50 km races I have done inmy career.
Last year, I took an astounding 14 minutesoff of my time, culminating in a Canadianrecord in December in a time of 3:43:45.This performance ranks me 13th headinginto Rio.
It is this info that I used when I was settingmy goals for the Olympics.
First and foremost, the goal is to finish inthe top eight. At 25 years old, I have at leastone more Olympics in me before I reachmy peak and hopefully four years from nowanything short of a medal will be a disap-pointment. But for now, a top eight would bean outstanding achievement.
That said, I’ve already mentioned that the
50 km is unforgiving and therefore unpre-dictable. Anything can happen on the dayand that is why my secondary goal in Riois to put myself in a position to capitalize ifothers falter.
What this means is that I want to put my-self in a position where, if I am having a greatday and others are struggling, the podiumbecomes a real possibility.
To do this though, I know I will need tolatch onto the lead group from the beginningand hold on for dear life.
This will likely mean getting myself fitenough to walk under 3:40:00 (4:24 per km,for 50 km).
I’m very confident that Richmond andSt. Moritz are the places I need to be thissummer to get me to 3:40:00 and I’ve beenoverwhelmed by the support I receive fromstrangers every day I am out walking.
Having what feels like an entire city behindme already feels like it’s spotted me a coupleminutes. And with two more hard months oftraining, I’m confident I’ll find those minutes.

As a follow-up to my last column, Ihave more to say about living on less.
Re-learning to managing your expensesand savings is not an easy task, especial-ly if you like the nicer things in life. Andwhile you can’t control or predict futurereturns on our money, you can controlyour cost of living.
Certainly, with infla-tion, your buying powerwill decrease over time.But don’t despair, thereare options aplenty andhere are a few tips toconsider for the frugalretiree:
Cut back on lavishgifts for family andfriends; instead make adonation to a charity.
Shop wiser — in-stead of Safeway, shopSuperstore or Costco forcheaper bulk buying.
Instead of going tomovies and spending$26, plus the cost of snacks, borrow ordownload movies from your local library.
Consider the barter system and lever-age your pre-retirement skills to get stuffyou want.
Cut back on extras such as expensivecosmetics and make your own. There areloads of DIY sites on the Internet.
Supplement your income by taking on apart-time job doing something you enjoy.Or create a job on your own terms, suchas tutoring, dog-walking or house-sitting.
These are just a few of the ways youcan spend less but still live a very com-
fortable lifestyle.Curtailing your spending doesn’t mean
you have to give up everything you likedoing. It just means tapping into yourcreativity and spending a little extra timeon things. When you start looking a littlecloser at what you’re spending, you’ll findall kinds of ways to save money.
For instance, if you’re used to spending$10 or more every day on lattes and muf-fins at your local coffee place, considermaking your own a couple times a week.
If you’re someone who likes to entertainregularly, think abouthosting potluck din-ners, where you makethe main dish and askyour guests to bring thesides, salad and des-sert.
Potlucks are a greatway to minimize the costof entertaining while nothaving to sacrifice yoursocial life.
Another cost-savingidea is to use your cre-ativity to make greetingcards.
It’s fun and waycheaper than buying
them. Check out your local crafts storeand the Internet for ideas.
If you’re talented, try selling your stuffat local craft shows or host a mini craftsale at home for friends.
Another great idea is to take clothesyou no longer wear to consignmentstores. You won’t get what you paid forthem, but you’ll make some extra cash.
These are just a few tips for retireeswho want to spend less but still live well.
Shelley Civkin is a retired communica-tions officer with the Richmond PublicLibrary
Curtailing your spending
doesn’t mean you have to
give up everything you like
doing. It just means tapping
into your creativity and
spending a little extra time
on things.

Chuckers come up just short on home turf
Arookie right-hander from Ladner is one of the fewto have an answer for the Richmond Bantam
AAA Chuckers so far this minor baseball season.The Chuckers steamrolled to the championship
game of their own Queen Victoria Day Invitationalover the long weekend — averaging over 10 runsper game in three impressive victories. Richmondlooked poised to capture its second tournament inas many tries this season before running into BraedyEuerby and the Delta Tigers.The starting pitcher limited the Chuckers to just
four hits and no walks to lead the Tigers to a 3-0victory. Euerby also received some timely defenceand a little luck too with four hard hit infield line outs,including a pair that producing rally killing doubleplays.If Richmond head coach Alex Klenman wasn’t
already convinced it wasn’t going to be his team’sday, then the top of the seventh provided furtherevidence.The hosts loaded the bases with nobody out
against reliever Caleb Cassie when another scorch-ing line drive resulted in double play to essentiallyend the game.Ironically, the game was similar to when the
Chuckers dropped a 3-1 decision in league play toEuerby and the Tigers last month. He is now respon-sible for two of the team’s five losses this season in32 games.“That’s baseball. It can be a funny game like that,”
shrugged Klenman. “We faced this kid earlier in theyear and he had our number pretty good. Today,we hit four line drives that were screamers and theyhappened to be in the right place. As coaches, youdon’t feel bad about hard outs. You know at somepoint they are going to fall. It just didn’t happentoday.
“You have to give (Euerby) a lot of credit, too. Tobe able to throw two pitches consistently for strikes
at this age level is tough. We like would to get himagain at some point. It was like watching a replay (ofthe first game).”The Chuckers will host Delta again in league play
on June 8 in what is developing into an intriguing,yet very friendly, rivalry.The Tigers are just a second-year program but
have the advantage of pulling talent from all threeassociations in Delta. The team is guided by CamFrick who played under Klenman back in 2008 andalso coached within Richmond City Baseball beforereturning to his hometown.“A couple of times Alex came over, looked at me
and just smiled,” laughed Frick. “He knows I havehim read pretty good. They are a very solid team.”Delta took out defending champion Okotkos in
a 3-2 semi-final thriller. Meanwhile, the Chuckerswere making it look easy despite a very challengingschedule, including an 8-2 win over league-leadingAbbotsford to advance to the championship game.Rookie left Justin Thorsteinson gave Richmondanother outstanding start on the mound.Carter Castle, Gabriel Suessenbackher-Fu and
Reid Dawson were equally effective in their starts.Finkelstein, Howells and Broderick were solid inrelief.Dustin McElwain led the attack against Abbotsford
with three hits, including a key two-run double in thethird. The Chuckers opened the tournament with a17-hit attack against Alberta’s Parkland Twins — a12-4 romp.“We hit the ball extremely well all weekend with
a lot of extra base hits,” said Klenman. “(The final)might had been a different game had we scoredearly.”Klenman also had high praise for the parent volun-
teers who make the tournament possible every year.“I can’t say enough about parent group that put
this on,” he added.“They sacrificed their whole weekend here form
crack dawn until evening, This group was fantasticand we can’t do this without them. They make iteasy for the boys to just come and play.”
An early season showdown for top spot in the RASASummer League’s First Division featured plenty of wide
open play and scoring as the Delta Blaze turned back theRino Tigers 5-4.The Blaze looked poised to run the Rinos right out of
Dugald Morrison Park as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead bythe 30th minute. But the Tigers regrouped and pressuredBlaze for the remainder of the half and were unlucky not toget on the scoreboard following a number of close calls on
the Delta net.In the second half, it was all out attack for Rino and
within 20 minutes they had scored twice to make it a onegoal game.They kept up the pressure but this left the Tigers defend-
ing vulnerable to counterattacks. As they buzzed for theequalizer, the Blaze broke the away and restored a twogoal lead. Delta would find another opening and make it a5-2 to seemingly be back in full control.
However, the Tigers lived up to their name and clawedback to make it 5-4 with 15 minutes remaining when thevaliant comeback finally ran out of time.The Blaze now sit at 3-1-0 on the season, while the
Tigers fell to 2-0-1.In Division Two RASA action, Ex-Pats FC and Rich-
mond All Blacks share the lead at the top of the table with3 wins and one loss each. EPFC beat Tanoah 6-1 and AllBlacks beat the Graduates 4-2.
