Homeowner says attempts to control growing rat population have failed
by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
In the last few years, Vince Cam-polongo has served up neighbour-hood rats an estimated 400 bags of poison. The unwanted rodents, he said, have eaten it all.
“As soon as they’re dead, another stampede of rats come,” he said. “It’s a never-ending battle.”
Campolongo, 40, wants to raise awareness of a rat population he be-lieves is growing in Richmond. Since moving into the neighbourhood of Gilbert Road and Steveston Highway over 20 years ago, the ballroom dance teacher has been witnessing more vermin activity. The situation is just as bad in another Richmond neighbour-hood where he owns property.
The nocturnal creatures have feasted on his backyard grapes, to-matoes, fi gs and peppers. Traps and bait stations do little to make a dent in the population, and his father is now experimenting with a home-made rat-drowning trap.
“We have been using the same to-mato seeds every year for 40 years. In our family to have a garden is part of out lives. If things stays like this I might not be able to do so much longer,” Campolongo told The Rich-mond Review.
Friends have also had plenty of rat encounters, he said, including one whose car was infi ltrated by a rodent that gained access through an air intake and chewed its way through the dashboard, gnawing on the backseat.
Getting in the way of their control, he said, are people inadvertently feeding them with bird feeders and those who even appear fond of the critters.
“A lot of people are friends with rats. They don’t want to kill them, to the point where they’re actually feeding them—intentionally or un-intentionally, I don’t know.”
Kevin Lee, owner-operator of Richmond Pest Management, has off ered pest control in Richmond for 23 years. He’s noticed the rat population grow, and said favour-able winters are a big factor.
“In previous years when it’s a nice cold, frosty winter, only the hardiest members of the litter would survive. But with our winters being so mild recently, everything that’s being born is surviving.”
A lack of natural predators, food availability and house demolitions that encourage rats to move around are other factors supporting Rich-mond’s rat population.
Lee said homeowners can control rats by eliminating outside clutter and ensuring their structures are free of cracks and crevices that rodents use to gain access.
“When the weather gets colder like this, they all want to duck inside somewhere warm, like most animals.”
Another key, said Lee, is to reduce available food sources.
“Unfortunately when you’re grow-ing your own fruits and vegetables, whatever you don’t harvest for your-self the animals will get to.”
Richmond Health Services pro-vides rodent control services on
behalf of the City of Richmond. Health offi cials can help homeown-ers identify problem areas, such as food sources or harbourage areas. If those areas are taken care of, of-fi cials can provide bait stations loaded with poison—as long as the homeowner signs a liability waiv-er—or traps.
“We don’t want to be seen as a pest control company,” said Dalton Cross of Richmond Health Services. “We do this program more to help the homeowner bring it under control. The other component is education, and in some cases enforcement of the (health protection) bylaw.”
Cross said Richmond’s rat popula-tions have been “quite consistent” over the years, but said rats are always looking for a meal. If they fi nd a regu-
lar food source, such as a vegetable garden, they’ll look to nest nearby.
“If people are having problems with rats then they should...take some sort of control measures to keep the rodents out. That’s sometimes easier said than done,” he said. “A home-owner oftentimes has to decide what they wish to do on their property, (but) we would never require a per-son to remove a vegetable garden.”
Restaurateurs know all too well the attraction rats have to food. So far this year, Vancouver Coastal Health has temporarily shut the doors on seven Richmond restau-rants for pest infestations. In 2012, just two local restaurants were ordered closed. In 2011, health authorities issued orders for nine restaurant closures for pest infes-tations.
According to the B.C. Ministry of Environment, problem rodents are three introduced species that came with Europeans settling in North America: the house mouse, Norway rat and black rat. All can transmit dis-eases, damage buildings and even start fi res by gnawing on wiring.
Norway rats, which have up to seven litters per year of eight to 12 pups per litter, usually live at ground level, in crawl spaces and in burrows around buildings. Black rats, also called roof rats, nest in ceilings and attics.
The ministry suggests using poi-son as a last resort. Some types are eff ective after a single dose, while others, such as warfarin, require multiple doses.
“In areas where warfarin has been used extensively, particularly in cit-ies, it is useless because rat popula-tions have become resistant to it,” according to the ministry’s website.

Locals donated toys and cash at Lansdowne Centre fundraiser
by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter
It was another terrifi c turnout at Thursday’s Richmond Christmas Fund drive-thru event at Lansdowne Centre which saw locals drop-ping off gifts and cash that will help make the holidays merrier for less fortunate local families.
Christmas fund chair Wayne Duzita said he was delighted that locals once again dis-played their tremendous generosity, with donors receiving muffi ns and steaming hot coff ee courtesy McDonald’s and Van Houtte as a token of appreciation from event spon-sors.
Three Nurses Next Door cars showed up in tandem to show their community spirit, while Richmond-based Ideon Packaging backed in one of their big trucks to reveal a bounty of unwrapped gifts that had volun-teers buzzing.
Dozens of volunteers started accepting gifts at 6 a.m. Thursday, braving the bitter overnight cold, only to be greeted at dawn by clear blue skies that served as the picture-perfect backdrop for the fundraiser.
Richmond fi refi ghters chipped in as well, with one of its ladder trucks stretching high into the sky, helping signal the event to the nearby community.
The third annual fundraiser collects much-needed cash and toys that will benefi t some 2,000 low-income Richmond residents.
Lansdowne Centre, which served as the event’s host, will be matching donations up to a maximum of $5,000.
Other event partners included Volunteer Richmond, 103.5 QM/FM, the City of Rich-mond, Richmond Chamber of Commerce, Great Events Vancouver and Ashton Service Group.
Every person registered for the Richmond Christmas Fund will receive a grocery vouch-er, and some 1,000 children under the age of 15 will receive a toy or gift card donated by the program.

Thousands of boxes with relief supplies, tens of thousands of dollars earmarked for survivors of Super Typhoon Haiyan
by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter
Local community organizations have been doing an impressive job of responding to the desperate call for help from the Philippines in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Haiyan.
The storm, described by weather experts as the strongest-ever re-corded to make landfall, left more than 5,000 people dead, hundreds of
thousands of others homeless, and millions without power and water.
Ronaldo Dulay, from LBC Mundial Cargo Corporation, a Richmond-based cargo fi rm on Jacombs Road, said his warehouse is nearly burst-ing through the roof with donations.
“We’re just super overwhelmed,” said Dulay, his voice cracking. “Wow, what a response. I’m glad to be a Fili-pino Canadian and I thank Canada. It’s the fi rst time in my 68 years that I’ve seen this.”
Dulay said that fi ve 40-foot-long sea containers have been fi lled with boxes containing solely relief dona-tions in the form of non-perishable foods, clothing and blankets. That’s nearly 2,000 boxes in all, and they’re still coming in.
Dulay said he’s been inundated with a couple of hundred e-mails from people wanting to help, with the vast majority having learned
about the eff ort through the pages of The Richmond Review, which fea-tured a front-page story about LBC’s off er to provide free boxes, shipping and delivery through its foundation in the Philippines.
The Richmond Chinese Community Society’s fundraising dinner on Mon-day at the Continental Seafood res-taurant on Cambie Road raised some $17,500, mainly through the sale of dinner tickets, a silent auction, char-ity singing and individual donations.
The dinner was presented in part-nership with the Filipino Friends in Richmond, the Vancouver Diamond Lions Club, Vancouver Metropolitan Lions Club and Vancouver South Li-ons Club.
A Saturday afternoon fundraising luncheon organized by the Richmond Mandarin Lions Club, raised an addi-tional $10,000.
Club secretary Helen Quan said
nearly 200 people showed up for the luncheon, with proceeds raised through the sale of event tickets, private donations, and an auction of paintings.
The two events raised a combined $27,500, funds that will be matched by the federal government, mean-ing the total that will be sent to the Philippines will be more than $55,000.
Lot Ramirez, executive director of the Filipinos in Richmond Support Team, raised nearly $9,000 during a two-day fundraiser at the Real Ca-nadian Superstore on No. 3 Road. Those funds will be earmarked for the Canadian Red Cross’ relief eff orts in the Philippines.
“The customers at Superstore were very generous and sympathetic to-wards the victims of the typhoon. Many donated and one thing we can vouch for is their absolute generos-
ity and kindness to look beyond their own needs and realize the plight of those suff ering in the Philippines,” said Ramirez, who also praised the Real Canadian Superstore for accom-modating them on such short notice.
According to Foreign Aff airs, Trade and Development Canada, as of Nov. 20, some $19.6 million has been con-tributed by individual Canadians to registered Canadian charities. That fi gure will be matched by Ottawa for a total that’s nearing $40 million.
The federal government recently announced that it has extended its deadline for matching the donations made by individual Canadians to registered Canadian charities for the Philippines relief eff ort until Dec. 23.

Impaired driving is one of the oldest criminal code off ences relating to operating a motor vehicle, but the social
stigma that now attaches to such behaviour is a relatively recent development. It may be hard to believe that announcing ‘one for the road’ was once considered a clever remark.
Today, social media commentary is more along the line of: ““Isn’t drunk driving hilarious?” said no one ever.” Th e eff ort to achieve this change has been multi-pronged and persistent, even in the face of the textbook tragedies that still happen too frequently to allow for anything but ongoing vigilance. Th e professional upholders of the law have done and continue to do what they must. Researchers and health care professionals—from emergency responders to medical specialists—likewise.
Th e families of countless victims have organized and lobbied and from these eff orts have grown mature and ever-more sophisticated advocacy groups. Still, statistics published by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), one of the most high profi le of such groups, state that, on average, “4 people are killed and 175 people are injured in Canada every day in impairment-related crashes.”
Against the trend, the Mayor of Toronto has for the past short while been both defending his own such misbehaviour and making a joke of it. When responding to allegations from former staff ers in court documents, in carefully parsed statements he told reporters that he has driven after consuming alcohol on
more than one occasion: “I might have had some drinks and driven” but to the CBC “I have never been drunk and driven.”
Th e Mayor prefaced his comments to the CBC with, as one media personality called it “an appeal to no standards” saying “all of us have done this.” Th en, at the November 18th Toronto City Council meeting in which his mayoral powers were transferred to the Deputy Mayor, he reportedly pantomimed drinking and driving in the direction of a fellow councilor who had been cautioned by the police.
Th e antics of Toronto’s Mayor with respect to this particular behaviour are deeply disrespectful of the considerable eff orts made by so many to change our thinking about drinking and driving, and indeed of the victims killed or maimed by such willfully risky and dangerous behaviour. A public fi gure who so breezily and brazenly challenges and defi es such a fl edgling cultural norm cannot help but undermine it, no matter whether he from time to time happens to “say it right.”
It is also disturbing to see how the Mayor’s admitted drug use and out-of-bounds profanity have overshadowed the commentary on drinking and driving issues.
Meanwhile, on November 5th, down the street from Toronto’s City Hall, the CN Tower’s new lighting system designed to enhance its structure from bottom to top while also publicizing recognized causes shone red in honour of MADD Canada’s Red Ribbon Campaign. Th is is an annual awareness campaign that runs from now until January 6th, 2014. MADD Canada Chapters and community leaders will be handing out red ribbons and educational material to “remind Canadians that they have the power to prevent impaired driving.”

The fi rst report card of the year is an important indicator of your child’s progress, but along with it may come surprising and even unwelcome news. Poor grades are a source of stress and worry for parents, and to add to this, changing expectations and reporting standards mean that report cards are often fi lled with comments that parents fi nd diffi cult to interpret.
While a report card serves as only a single snapshot of a child’s progress up to a given point and does not offer the complete picture of a child’s potential, it often foretells things to come. If there are any issues with poor grades, Seema Ahluwalia of Oxford Learning Centre in Richmond recommends that parents take action now. “We need to remember that there is plenty of time left in
the school year to get back on track,” says Seema.
Founded in 1984, Oxford Learning uses innovative approaches to learning that have helped thousands of students to reach their educational goals. Customized programs based on the science of cognitive development help children to develop the skills that they need to succeed in school while they develop the confi dence that they need to succeed in life.

ADVERTORIAL
PechaKucha Night centres on transportation
Richmond’s fourth PechaKucha Night tonight (Friday) will transport its audience through thought-pro-voking presentations on planes, trains and auto-mobiles at Richmond Cultural Centre.
The theme will focus on how man-made inventions and inno-vations in public and private realms of trans-portation systems have shaped cities.
Richmond has expe-rienced a vast level of transportation growth and development over the years—moving from historic tram lines to the Vancouver International Airport and the Canada Line. In addition, our city is characterized by an urban landscape that owes much of its design to the automobile.
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of chit chat, the PechaKucha presen-tation format is simple—invited speakers will present 20 pictures for 20 seconds each while speaking quickly about the photos as they ad-vance. Speakers include city staff , designers and transportation experts.
This event takes place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at 7700 Minoru Gate.

The MLA in charge of the B.C. government’s liquor policy review is recommending alcohol sales within grocery stores, using the “store within a store” model in place in other provinces.
Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap announced three of his recommendations Thursday, including the idea that a separate staff ed area should handle alcohol sales. He also called for no increase to the 731 private store licences that are active now, and no sales in convenience stores other than those already designated as rural agency stores.
Yap’s full report has more than 70 recommenda-tions, but it won’t be released until the new year after cabinet has considered it. Liquor in grocery stores was by far the most popular topic during his public consultation, which is why only those recommenda-tions are being made public now, he said.
NDP liquor and gaming critic Shane Simpson said Yap has promoted the popular idea repeatedly, and Thursday’s announcement appears “cobbled togeth-er” to distract attention from BC Hydro rate hikes and B.C.’s dismal job creation performance than it is about liquor sales.
“It’s been released with no supporting evidence as to how you do this,” Simpson said. “Who gets these stores? If there’s really a moratorium on new licenc-es, does this mean that somebody who has a 10,000 square foot private store today is going to be told you have to give that up to get 1,000 square feet in a
Safeway? I don’t think that’s going to happen.”The Alliance of Beverage Licensees, representing
private liquor stores, questioned Yap’s assertion that the change would create jobs and increase conve-nience.
“There are very few places around the province you will not fi nd a liquor store already located within 100 metres of a grocery store, and having a separate li-quor checkout inside a grocery store will not improve convenience,” said Ian Baillie, executive director of the alliance.
The alliance is running a radio ad campaign say-ing its 10,000 employees’ jobs are at risk, and putting alcohol in grocery stores increases the chance that young people can obtain booze.

Martin van den Hemel photo (above)/Amanda Oye photo (below)Staff from Lansdowne Centre and The Richmond Review (above) and other volunteers (below) added a few splash-es of colour to this dealership at the Richmond Auto Mall Tuesday as part of the Windows of Hope fundraiser.
Mice closed restaurant for three days
Steveston Seafood House on Moncton Street was closed down for three days last weekend after a routine inspection found a mouse infestation and unsanitary conditions.
Last Thursday, a Van-couver Coastal Health Authority inspector came for a routine check of the eatery, at 3951 Moncton St., and noted an accumu-lation of mouse droppings were found in several ar-eas of the restaurant.
The inspector ordered that a pest control fi rm be hired, that the contami-nated food be discarded and that the infested areas get a proper cleaning and sanitizing.
During a follow-up in-spection on Friday, there were still issues, namely mouse droppings in sev-eral areas of the restaurant.
The restaurant was permitted to re-open on Monday after a third in-spection, which found no mice activity and that other issues had been ad-dressed.
Windows of Hope returns
There was plenty of green added to the Richmond Auto Mall on Tuesday, as more than 100 volunteers added a festive touch by paint-ing the windows to several of the dealer-ships with a Christmas motif.
The makeover was part of the annual Windows of Hope fun-draiser, which raises more than $24,000 last year for the Richmond Christmas Fund.

Shine up your ride and head on out to Steveston this weekend for a Classic and Custom Car Cruise.
The proud owners of 20 defi nitive vehicles of the past, from hot rods and Corvettes to vintage cars and trucks, have already signed up to wind their way through the seven streets that make up the historic downtown village.
They’ll gather for this Sunday’s (Dec. 1) after-noon cruise near the Gulf of Georgia Cannery at 12:15 p.m. sharp, and wind up back behind the Buck and Ear Bar and Grill where they’ll be parked until 2:30 p.m.
The Steveston Merchants Association is adding the classic car cruise to its annual pre-Christmas festivities which includes a farmer’s market and, ap-parently, a visit from Santa Claus. There will also be horse and carriage rides on Bayview Street.
Doug Harder, who is organizing the Classic and Custom Car Cruise, says the car owners and public at large are being encouraged to bring unwrapped toys and gifts, or to donate money to the Richmond Christmas Fund.
He notes that many of the entries are owned by local residents including Richmond Lions Club executive member Randy Scherk, who is entering his 1980 Chev C10 pickup truck. Scherk has been a member of the Lions Club for 24 years and is the chairperson of the popular Sockeye Car Show every June 1 in Steveston. Scherk remembers at time when the Lions Club used to hold a parade in Steveston just a few days before Christmas, so he’s excited the cruise has been revived.
Another Richmond entry is the popular 1964 Mus-tang Convertible, painted red of course, owned by Tangerine Twiss. Harder notes that Twiss has won several people’s choice awards with this beauty.
And one of the most travelled and photographed cars in North America is also scheduled to make an appearance. Tevie Smith’s Termite Taxi, 1947 Chrysler Town and Country Coupe, has been on tours throughout Mexico, the U.S. and Canada from one coast to the other. Last year, Smith went on the Great Lakes Cruise, which was a tour of seven cities in Canada and the U.S. in seven days with a separate car show at every stop.
Prizes will be awarded for best decorated car, truck and commercial entry.

opinion
Imagine for a moment our city of Richmond in the 1970s.
Imagine that the legisla-tion of the Agricultural Land Commission Act was never passed. Imagine what this city would look like. Imagine what it would be like to live here.
Anyone who has been along the north or south arms of the Fraser would be travelling through high-end real estate properties on the river’s edge. Gone are the migratory birds, the sand fl ats, and the folks who come from all over the region to fi sh, to bike, run or walk. Residential proper-ties are packed, spreading side-by-side, watching the tankers go past.
All of Richmond would be developed with subur-ban, cookie-cutter style residences, sprawling from each edge of the island in winding convoluted cul-de-sacs, with houses fi lling the property boundaries. Population would have doubled or even tripled over that time. Imagine 400,000 people living in Richmond.
Our days of cheap food would be over, as by 2008 food shortages in the United States and in China would have signifi cantly impacted our ability to
import foods. Sedentary lifestyles would become normal as people commute to work and spend longer hours in traffi c. Liveabil-ity, health, recreation - all diminished. Socializing and neighbourhood connec-tion would be even worse. Social isolation would be normal among seniors and new immigrants trapped in their houses and unable to get to their services and support networks due to a poor and ineffi cient public transit system.
The wildlife in our area would be impacted as habitats for birds, plants, and animals are all given over to housing and com-mercial developments. The paving-over of natural landscapes would lead to increased water runoff , fl ooding of streets over the rainy season, and increased costs on taxpayers for road repairs and for expanded sewage and storm-water infrastructure.
The loss of vegetation and soil would generate even more greenhouse
gases that would further contribute to global climate change.
Farmers, hundreds of them, would no longer be employed. Businesses that relied on this fresh produce would go quickly by the wayside, meaning no more local greengrocers, no more processing facilities, and no more jobs for many Richmond residents.
This vision of a Richmond without an ALR should be held close to our public consciousness. It is the right of all humans to have food. As it is, our food supply relies on imports and contains foods that have travelled hundreds,
sometimes thousands of miles, to get to the grocery shelves. We will need to consider where our food supplies would come from in the event of an emergency. Grocery stores throughout the city only have 3 to 4 days of fresh food stockpiled. If there were to be an emergency situation, such as in the Philippines, having a strong local food system would help us recover more easily.
It is within our best inter-ests to address this vulner-ability to our food supply. It has been well documented that when other indus-tries fail, agriculture and
associated food economies continue to survive and if the conditions are right, to thrive. Conserving and protecting our agricultural lands is of paramount im-portance. Of additional im-portance, and perhaps just as signifi cant, is enabling farmers to access farm-land to grow food while achieving equitable returns on their hard work. The average Canadian spends a paltry 11-12 per cent of their disposable income on food. Much of that is spent in restaurants and fast-food outlets. This is the lowest percentage in the world. We can do much better, but we will fi nd that diffi cult if the ALR disappears.
Colin Dring is executive director of the Richmond Food Security Society, which works to ensure that all people in the community have access to safe, nutritious, cultur-ally appropriate foods that strengthen our environment and society. To contribute, check out www.richmondfoodsecurity.org.
There may not be snow on the ground, but Christmas is definite-ly in the air.
You may have taken advantage of the recent dry spell to put up decorative lights. Santa’s helpers are now ensconced at local malls, and the hype for seasonal sales is in full swing.
It’s hard to escape the commercial trap-pings of Christmas.
Nor should we. Livelihoods depend on it.But amidst the hustle and bustle of the next
month, it’s important to take some time out, and reach out to those who don’t have the means to indulge, who can’t afford to get
their kids the latest toy sensation, who don’t have proper winter coats in their closets, who can’t put a holiday feast on their dinner table or may not even have a home to keep them warm.
There’s no shortage of groups and organiza-tions who work hard all year to help make life a little easier for people who are struggling.
Those struggles are magnified during the holiday season, with all the expectations it brings.
For those of us hustling from store to store, fulfilling wish lists, it takes but a moment to drop some spare change into the Salvation Army red kettle at the front door, or to drop
a winter coat, mittens or hats at a business holding a coat drive, or to place a few cans of hearty soup in the Richmond Food Bank box at the grocery store.
Better yet, pitch in by volunteering some time and energy to those worthy groups. They’re busy this time of year, and would likely appreciate the help.
Or pledge to make an effort to help out through the year. Need doesn’t go by dates on the calendar.
They’re small gestures, but for those on the receiving end, they’re blessings.
And isn’t that what Christmas is all about?– Black Press

Enough is enough on traffi c fatalitiesEditor:
I feel for the families of the latest tragedies on Richmond roads. What we don’t seem to face up to is the fact that our roads seem to set their own speed limits.
Steveston Highway is a free-for-all, with the norm being 70 km/h and not the posted 50 km/h. The secondary routes such as Francis, Williams and Blundell roads are no better with speeds far exceeding posted maximums.
Pedestrians are no better as they are consumed by what’s on their phones or iPods and don’t even give a second look to the oncoming traffi c.
What is needed is a comprehensive traffi c plan in which our local RCMP need to target speeders, inattentive pedestrians and other traffi c violators on a full-time basis. A couple of traffi c blitzes a year or the occasional fl y the fl ag traffi c stop just doesn’t cut it anymore.
How many more people have to die in Richmond before we as a city stand up and say enough is enough?
D B Neil Richmond
Dedication on the soccer pitchEditor:
I would like to express my wholehearted admi-ration for all those young men and women, boys and girls who turn out on a cold and sometimes rainy night to practice their soccer skills or to participate in a match.
And at the weekends it does my heart good to see the local fields filled to capacity by young people of all ages who out of loyalty to their team turnout in the worst of weather to partici-pate in the greatest game on Earth.
Canadians should have no need to worry about the future of our country when it is in your hands.
Patrick GannonRichmond
Where are the deadbeat dads?Editor:
I’ve been following the reports on child poverty in British Columbia (and yes, I have contributed fi nancially in the past) and I am still left with one question: Where are the fathers and the associ-ated required child support? Are these mysterious fathers dead, out of country, hiding from court orders, whereabouts unknown, on welfare them-selves, or simply fathers unknown?
If the subject ladies cannot aff ord to track down deadbeats, then my tax dollars would be more than properly utilized in order to assist. Food banks are an intern situation at best, in order to assist those in need. Let’s refocus and identify the real ones, and hold them accountable.

Program gives youth fi nancial legs to stand onWorkshops focus on stocks, entrepreneurship, insurance and investments
by Jessica LiuYouth Reporter
Making financial decisions and managing mon-ey for long-term goals may seem like a far away problem for most high school students.
But starting off on the wrong foot with money after graduation may prove disastrous for some.
In order to be confident with managing money, youth must first be educated in that subject area so that they are able to create sound financial de-cisions in the future.
The Young Investor Program, a three-month weekend program for high school students from Grade 10 to 12, is focused on teaching financial literacy topics through a series of workshops.
It was co-founded by Richmond brothers Rohit and Akaash Bali, both students of the University of B.C.’s Sauder School of Business.
“Learning about financial literacy is important at a young age because it will give students the foundation they need to make informed financial decisions in the future,” Akaash Bali said.
“Whether it is for buying a new iPad, a car, or even a house, learning about financial literacy early will help students be smart with their money and will certainly reduce the chances of them be-ing in debt later in life.”
The program is sponsored by G&F Financial Group, and will be held at Sauder School of Busi-ness at the University of BC.
The six workshops within the program cover topics including stocks, entrepreneurship, insur-ance, tax, types of investments, and credit and debit.
Because most of the topics can be very broad, The Young Investor Program focuses on the as-pects most applicable to the age group.
Students will learn through interactive work-shops, speaker series, and case studies, while also being able to network with business profes-sionals.
The program is launching in January 2014, but the application process has already started, with the final deadline on Dec. 2.

Zack Spencer
Zack Spencer reveals what turned his head week with a visit to the glitzy 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Alexandra Straub looks at what’s
cool, Bob McHugh goes green and Keith Morgan sneaks a peek at a racy compact concept. Check out the full script at drivewayBC.ca
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Auto Show is full of eye-popping sights and some even include cars!It’s not difficult to have your head turned but it is a challenge to pick one’s top picks but I’m for the challenge.Nissan GT-R Nismo Nissan stole the show with not only one of the fastest cars in the world but the fastest man in the world. Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt was on hand as Nissan’s Director of Excitement. Usain was clearly taken with the new GT-R Nismo, there were also promises to get him one to replace his gold coloured GT-R. Power has been pumped up to 600hp taking this new Nismo version to 100 km/h in just two seconds. Look for the new GT-R in the spring of 2014. I suspect Usain will get his a bit earlier.Chevrolet Colorado The mid-size pickup truck market has been all but abandoned by the domestic automakers over the last few years leaving this cat-egory entirely to Toyota and Nissan with the Tacoma and Frontier trucks. Wait until next year and the choice will include the all-new Colorado from Chevrolet. Building off the success of the all-new full-size Silver-ado, the engineers have taken the same approach to this new truck. On the economy front, eventually there will be three engines to choose from. Out of gate, there is the base 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6.
Subaru WRX Fans of the Subaru WRX will be very excited about the arrival of an all-new car but maybe a bit disappointed that this production model
doesn’t look very much little the sleek and sexy concept that was unveiled earlier this year. It should prove to be a capable car thanks to an all-new direct injection 2.0L 4-cylinder putting out 268hp and matched to the first 6-speed in the WRX. Subaru Legacy Concept A head turning design that my sources tell me looks a lot like the production car. The metallic, almost chrome looking paint, certainly helps to make the car pop but the bold front grille and macho stance could very well be included in the final version. Lincoln MKC Lincoln has a long and distin-guished history as an American premium brand but over the last few decades, it has been an extension of existing Ford products using different badging and trim. There is now a long-term plan to resurrect the Lincoln brand with all-new vehicle that use some Ford components but are developed separately from the main Ford line of products. The compact cross-over MKC shares a platform with the Ford Escape but has been designed and engineered to be a very different car. The design, other than the trademark Lincoln grille is very European and the back wrap-around hatch is maybe Audi-inspired. Standard in Canada will be all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
BMW 4 Series Cabriolet BMW has changed its naming: the 3 Series is now the sedan only while the coupe and convertible version are now called 4 Series. The all-new cabriolet is wider and fea-tures a new three-piece retractable hard-top and for the first time X-Drive AWD is now available on the convertible models. Interior refinements include a new neck
warmer to that blows a steady stream of warm air on the front passengers neck and shoulders, helping to elongate the convertible season.
Porsche Macan This small SUV is based on the same platform as the Audi Q5. This lower, sleeker and much more aggressive Macan will attract a lot of attention based purely on looks. Porsche made it very clear that this is not juts a Porsche in name but also in performance. Look for the Macan coming next year.
Jaguar F-Type Jaguar made a big splash with the Jaguar F-Type convertible this year and next year we look forward to the coupe version, a dynamite looking coupe with a stunning silhouette and improved dynamics thanks to a stiffer body. The body of the car is built with extensive use of aluminum to produce the stiffest Jaguar ever made. This is one heart-pounding coupe I cannot wait to try.

He’s the artistic boss of Richmond’s only pro-fessional theatre—and
next week he’ll be crowned king. Jovanni Sy is playing the leading role of King of Siam in The King and I, opening at Gateway Theatre Dec. 6.
Sy’s titles, along with the fact he’s acted in the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical twice before, surely must be going to his head. Right?
“I was a bit nervous going into it,” said director Chris McGregor in an interview. “Is he going to allow me to direct the show and my vision?”
Much to the chagrin of arts
reporters searching for a scandal, Sy has been noth-ing but gracious. Not even a script thrown in McGregor’s face to report.
“It’s been a great experi-ence,” said McGregor. “Audi-ences are lucky to have him do the show. I think they’re going to love him.”
Sy, artistic director since last spring, will be making his debut on the Gateway stage, showing audiences his passion for theatre isn’t just talk.
“It’s one of the most fun roles I’ve ever played, and I can’t wait to get back at it again,” said Sy in an inter-view posted on the theatre’s website.
One of the most popular musicals of the last century, created by the leg-endary theatre duo Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, The King and I transports audiences to 1862 Siam (modern day Thailand). English widow Anna Leonowens and her young son arrive at the royal palace in Bangkok to serve as tutor to the king’s many children and wives.
Considered a barbarian in the West, the king calls on Anna to help change his image. Each rooted in their own traditions and values, the two clash, but grow to understand and respect one another. It’s a love story with plenty of musical bedazzlement with songs like “Getting to Know You,” “Shall We Dance?” and “Whistle a Happy Tune.”
Gateway last produced the show in
2003, a production that holds the record as the theatre’s second-highest selling show, after The Sound of Music. In the director’s chair for this production is McGregor, who is marking his third straight year at the helm of Gateway’s winter musical. His secret to success?
“For them to pick really good plays,” he said. “I love these musi-cals. For me the three (The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof and The King and I) are the best musicals ever written.”
All are real stories based in history and proven to be timeless. Mc-Gregor’s focus has been the same for each—the family.
“Every audience knows what it’s like to be in a family or part of a family. So I zone in and exploit the family values, exploit the family relationships, as much as possible,” he said. “I tell the actors this play is about the struggle of one man doing the best for his family, and everything else relates to that.”
Always the theatre’s largest produc-tion of the season, The King and I features a cast of 39. All but fi ve actors are amateurs, many from the local community. Managing the hulking cast is of course challenging—par-ticularly in scheduling—but it’s one McGregor thrives on.
He started directing at Bishop’s University in 1987, when he earned
his bachelor’s degree in drama. After a long theatre career, he went back to school to learn more about the art. Earning his master’s of fi ne arts in directing from University of B.C. in 2009 allowed him to hone his directing skills.
McGregor’s own theatre company, Theatre Bagger, has produced many contemporary works, with a more recent focus on theatre for young audiences. With a 1951 Broadway debut, The King and I is far from modern, but the age-old book and its themes of struggle in family and politics are still poignant today.
In Siam, there’s worry about an invasion and economic collapse, things McGregor said America is concerned with today.
“They’re worried about losing the empire they’ve created—exactly what the king is going through. He’s trying to keep everything at bay so he can continue to keep his king-dom, or society, alive and well,” said McGregor. “That’s what’s happening all over the world right now.”
Highlighting those timeless struggles was quite deliberate by creators Rodgers and Hammerstein, who crafted the play after the Sec-ond World War.
Said McGregor: “Rodgers and Hammerstein wanted to write a play that was bringing the world together—not challenging each other’s diff erences, but accepting each other’s diff erences. That was their big thrust to do this play.”

E very great entrepreneur, every great idea, every future success story at some point encounters the same problem: money. For a new venture, capital is king. The inability
to access that capital has spelled failure for more than one budding entrepreneur. So, how do you get it? What are successful Canadian businesses doing to manage their cash fl ow and secure fi nancing today? Here, we explore the many benefi ts and drawbacks of various fi nancing options.1. Your personal assets:
Home equity loans, personal savings and credit cards provide the cash for over three quarters of new businesses to get off the ground. This money is generally very liquid or easy to access, as well as providing the capital you need without giving up equity. However, this method also burdens the entrepreneur with all of the risk and/or debt of the new enterprise. 2. The FF Approach (Friends & Family):
About 10% of small and medium sized businesses have accepted loans or gifts from their loved ones to get their business running. An entrepreneur is likely to get preferable interest rates from their connections but the cost of default could be much higher in this situation – the relationship itself. 3. Traditional Commercial Loans:
Personal or business loans from fi nancial institutions are by far the most highly sought for start-ups, upgrades or expansion. Even if the majority of fi nancing is accessed through other means, most businesses will at the very least have an operating line of credit. Bring your registration documents as well as fi nancial, bank, and investment statements. If you’ve been in business less than two years, bring a copy of your business plan. Check with individual fi nancial institutions to learn more about their rates and requirements.
Most fi nancial institutions have a number of different options to suit every business need; however, it can be diffi cult to fi nd approval for young entrepreneurs or new immigrants without Canadian credit history. 4. Canadian Government
Financing and Grants:The fate of SMEs is of paramount
importance to our economy; therefore, the government does what it can to help good ideas flourish. There are a number of different programs this money is meted out through. One of which is the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF), which specializes in providing character-based financing to young entrepreneurs (39 or under) and introducing them to mentors in the industry. RCC is a Community Partner of CYBF. They offer only up to $45,000 through their program but can help young entrepreneurs find further financing through traditional means.
CYBF partners with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to provide financing. BDC has a mandate from the government of Canada to provide financial assistance to business across Canada, with a focus on SMES.
Depending on your industry, there may be many other options available. Talk to professional organizations and research online to find out what may be available to you. 5. Crowd Funding:
What is Crowd Fundraising? It’s fi nancing that uses the principles of crowd sourcing (soliciting contributions from a great number of individuals) to provide funds for a business or project. Websites like KickStarter and IndieGoGo have seen huge successes in recent years, though mainly with the arts or specifi c products. Most of the existing models do not sell equity and are considered to be donations, though there are some portals gaining popularity, which do. If you have an idea that will galvanize a population or have a large network,
this method can be very effective to raise capital in a short period of time without losing any equity. However, the public nature of crowd funding can a double edged sword. A viral campaign can gain instant interest and press. However, failure to deliver or meet specifi c goals can follow a business for a long period of time.
Financing your business is essential. This decision cannot be made lightly but you have a number of options available to you. For referrals to specifi c programs, institutions or to ask about your choices, call the Richmond Chamber of Commerce offi ce at 604-278-2822.

B ig Bold Beautiful Banners is the only Western Canadian company providing premium quality banners and fl ags that are
screen or digitally printed, on nylon or polyester. They’re also the only banner company to mix their own pigment, providing added fade-resistance that is unparallel in the marketplace.
Originally a member of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce in 1987, they’re returning to visit former business associates and meet new business owners. Big Bold brings multiple decades of marketing and design experience to their clients, who are as varied as the banner designs they print. From auto and shopping malls to events and airports, Big Bold’s banners can be seen throughout Richmond at places such as Richmond Auto Mall, Blundell Centre, Seafair Mall, Garden City Shopping Centre, Sandman Hotels, Hayden Diamond Bit, Airport Executive Park, and even at the 2010 Olympic games. In addition, they’ve serviced City of Richmond’s fl ag and banner program for the past twenty years.
As owner and creator of the company, Lucija Newby is one of the fi rst women to have been
invited to join the Richmond Sunrise Rotary Club. In 1993, she stepped up to become President of this club. Leading up to that, the Richmond Chamber of Commerce extended 1991 Entrepreneur of the Year Award to this well-deserving company. It represents their early creative and results-driven energy that continues today.
Proudly Canadian, Big Bold Beautiful Banners operates out of Richmond BC, and provides full service fl ag and banner programs.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Bid for No. 1 wide openin Richmond boys’ league
Veteran coaches, from left, Les Brown (Richmond High), Paul Eberhardt (Palmer) and Brian Meier (McRoberts) look to guide their respective teams to a Richmond high school senior boys’ basketball title in a season most generally agree will feature considerable parity.
by Don FennellSports Editor
With par-ity league wide,
the 2013-14 high school basketball season in Rich-mond promises to be both entertain-ing and unpredict-able.
But a word to the
wise: don’t dismiss the R.C. Palmer Griffins.
Sure the Griffins may finally be coming back to earth, after dominating the senior boys’ league for the better part of the last decade. But though the talent pool is thin-ning, expect veteran coach Paul Eberhardt to get the most from his team. And no one should be surprised if that equates into yet
another Richmond title for a team cur-rently ranked No. 3 in the province at the AA level.
“We are excited to try and win another Richmond champi-onship, but without question the league will be the most com-petitive it has ever been,” says Eberhardt, who is looking for-ward to co-coaching the Griffins with for-mer Richmond league and Lower Mainland MVP (2007) Edward Fan who returns to Palmer with “an amaz-ing basketball mind and an ability to relate well to the players.”
Eberhardt promises Palmer, despite being the smallest senior boys’ team he’s ever coached, will retain its strong reputation for fast-break basketball. But he stresses that if the Griffins expect to compete they’ll have to use their speed
and quickness and play very aggressive defence.
Palmer will feature 10 Grade 12s, but only five returning from last season.
A proven scorer who can put the ball in the basket in a variety of creative ways, guard Antonio Jhuty—who played for the BC U17 team last summer—leads the Grade 12 starters. Averaging a team-best 21 points per game last season, he has quick slashing moves, a good pull-up jumper and can score from deep three-point range.
Fellow guard and former provincial U16 player Gurjit Pooni averaged seven assists per game last season as well as 10.5 points and he shot 45 per cent from the field and 72 per cent from the foul line.

From Page 20With league play
set to tip off next Wednesday (R.A. Mc-Math Wildcats visiting Hugh Boyd Trojans at 7:30 p.m.), any of five or six teams are expected to have a realistic chance of topping the standings.
The Wildcats, under the guidance of Jon Acob, are most often mentioned as the favourites thanks to the arrival of a group of Grade 11s that last year reached the junior provincials. But while coach Jon Acob would rather down-
play the No. 1 tag he acknowledges there is great chemistry among the Wildcats.
“With most of the guys playing spring ball together, all that work has helped,” says Acob, noting McMath has good leadership in returning Grade
12s Will Sherrett, Mark Vargas and Thaddaeus Melaku and a strong group of rookies led by Anthony Demch, Justin Laing and Jess Mason.
And the Wildcats, who can all handle the ball well, shoot and dribble with the best
of them, are not only athletic but blessed with size. McMath’s average height is six foot two.
Close on McMath’s heels will be the Hugh McRoberts Strikers, a team that returns most of its seniors and has some decent size and athleticism—led by third-year senior and Grade 11 Arnold Macalipay who is widely regarded as one of the most excit-ing players in B.C. high
school hoops.And if either McMath
or McRoberts slides, Matthew McNair Marlins, Richmond Colts or A.R. MacNeill Ravens will pick up the slack. Richmond High sports a good balance of guards and post players; Palmer, despite lacking the natural talent com-monplace in recent seasons, still has one of the best coaches at the helm in Paul Eberhardt; and Mac-
Neill, well let’s just say the Ravens could be a force as last year’s team—minus just a single player—has been reassembled.
“This should be a very exciting year for basketball in Rich-mond,” says McRob-erts coach Brian Meier, whose Strikers return four starters from last year, with a combined nine years of experi-ence at the senior high school level.

With last year’s core back, Ravens are ready to soar From Page 22
“For the first time in the new incar-nation of McRoberts basketball, we are an experienced group looking to make some noise,” adds Meier, who promises the Strikers will play an assertive brand of basketball that is both fun to play and watch.
“We will look to set and control the tempo both on offence and defence.”
Besides Macalipay, the gifted point guard who is blessed with top-end speed, skill and an ability to find open teammates, the Strikers also have John Tseng, a six-foot-four Grade 12 guard who is also playing in his third year of senior ball and has led the team in scoring each of the last two seasons. Coach Meier expects Tseng, who is also a strong defender, to continue improving while leading by example.
And at six-foot-five, Nolan Howell gives McRoberts a big presence in the paint and a player who isn’t afraid to battle for the ball as evi-dent by his strong rebounding totals over the last seasons.
As eluded to earlier, MacNeill returns nine players from last year’s team leaving co-coaches Landon Dy and Steward Siy with “high expecta-tions.”

As Marlins fi sh for fi rst, Colts ready to gallopFrom Page 23
The core of the Ravens is the same as that which led MacNeill to the Richmond junior title two season back, with Denzel DeJesus and Umar Tung (a second team all-star a year ago) setting the pace. The core is
complemented by a hard-working group of Grade 11s.
“If we can stay healthy and get hot anything can happen, but beyond that the eventual goal is to win the Lower Mainlands and then advance to the BC’s,” says Siy.
“While we lack size (save for six-foot-six, 300-pound post player Nathan Thomas, who has battled injuries each of the last two seasons), we have good chemistry.”
Having hovered around third in the league standings for
several years now, Mc-Nair enters this season hoping to fi nally get over the hump and challenge for a city title.
McNair tipped off the 2013-14 campaign with an impressive 90-64 victory over Eric Hamber on Tuesday. And they’re scheduled to play in the Suther-land Classic in North Vancouver this week-end, looking to repeat as tournament cham-pions.
They’ll be joined at this weekend’s tournament by three other Richmond teams: Palmer, McMath and McRoberts.
McNair coach Jessy Dhillon’s optimism is strengthened by the fact McNair boasts an all-Grade 12 start-ing lineup of Royce Sargeant, Renz Zabala, Shivraj Sidhu, Gurjivan Grewal and Arsheel Ali. All fi ve have played for the school’s senior team since Grade 10 and have been playing together since Grade 8.
“They have built great chemistry over the years on and off the court,” says Dhil-lon. “Royce has been a starter for the Marlins since Grade 10, and is one of the top guards not only in Richmond but in the Lower Main-land. His ability to get to the hoop is unbe-lievable. He makes it look so easy.”
Sargeant will be joined in the back court by second-year starter Zabala. Togeth-er, they feature one of the quickest back courts in the league and will be counted on to help the Marlins retain their high-tempo style of play.
Undersized “big men” Grewal and Sidhu will be looked to provide energy and battle in the paint for rebounds, with Grade 11s Kevin Yang, Owen Vint and Balraj Saran on hand to spell them off . Yang emerged last season as one of the best spot shooters in the league.
“A major strength of our starting fi ve is that they can all shoot the ball pretty well, which will open up lanes for our guards to make plays to the hoop,” says coach Dhillon. “Similar to last year, our strengths will be our fast-paced attack that will look to wear out
bigger-sized teams.”At Richmond High,
the once-mighty Colts are—by all accounts—mighty once more.
Led by key returnees Dave Yap (captain), Amar Burmy, Jerry Shi and Tristan Or-donez, the Colts have added Keiteh Adano and Cory Pidhaichuk to an already strong lineup that fi gures to challenge for league supremacy.
But coach Les Brown cautions not to expect overnight success.
“As the only 4A school in Richmond we have a pretty tough schedule, trying to see what the competition at that level is like around the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, so there will be a lot of growing this season,” he says.
Himself a former Colt, Brown is excited to welcome back another former Colt in Jason Birring to help coach the team.
“We are really lucky to have him. He is great
with our players and has tons of experience,” says Brown.
After spending the past couple seasons fl irting with playoff success, the Steveston-London Sharks are in clear rebuild mode.
“We only have four returning players and only one player who played major minutes back from last year. And we also have fi ve Grade 10s playing up this year,” says coach Mike Stoneburgh.
The starting fi ve, which includes a pair of Grade 10s, is made up of JP Daquioag, Nigel Boyd, Ibrahim Warsame, Taros Johal and Dennis Yap. Look for any of MJ Edurese, Darian Ngo or Jan Ycasas to be fi rst off the bench.
“Our expectations are to compete every game this year as Richmond will be really tough,” says Stoneburgh. “But with the new tiering this year Richmond basketball has become
tough and fun again as teams have new hopes of making BC’s or Lower Mainland championships.”
Like the Sharks, JN Burnett Breakers are also in rebuilding mode but coach Bill Riach loves his team’s work ethic and is “excited and optimistic” that they’ll surprise more than few people this season.
“We’ve got quite a group of talented kids so I think we’ll be at least reasonably com-petitive,” says Riach.
But, he adds with caution, the team will also feature several Grade 10s which, while boding well for the future, will mean some pronounced growing pains.
“Our goal will be to try to play a style where we’re not turn-ing the ball over,” says Riach.
“So that may mean trying to slow the game down and limit the fast breaks.”
Hugh Boyd Trojans (2-8), HJ Cambie Crusad-ers (1-9) and Richmond Christian Eagles (0-10) combined for only three wins last season, but will be hoping to improve on those num-bers this year.
Don Fennell photoRoyce Sargeant has started for the McNair Marlins since Grade 10.
“They have built great chemistry over the years on and off the court.”

Swimmers receive national honoursRichmond’s Noemie Thomas, Luke Reilly named Canadian junior female and male swimmers of the year
Luke Reilly: Swimming Canada Junior Male Athlete of the Year for 2013.
Richmond has a history of producing some of Canada’s top swimmers, and the latest news that two of its current athletes have been recognized with national awards only confirms that.
Noemie Thomas and Luke Reilly, both mem-bers of the University of BC-based Pacific Dol-phins, were honoured last weekend as the Ju-nior Female Swimmer of the Year and Junior Male Swimmer of the Year re-spectively by Swimming Canada.
Thomas, who still quali-fies as a junior at age 17, competed against the world’s best in 2013. She was the youngest woman in the 100-metre butterfly final at FINA world championships in Barcelona, where she fin-ished seventh. She also eaerned victories in the last two women’s races of the Canada Cup short
course meet last wek-end in Toronto. Thomas neared her Canadian record in the 50-metre butterfly for the win, then a few minutes later was the lead-off swim-mer in UBC’s 4 by 50-m freestyle relay gold performance.
Meanwhile, the Junior Male Swimmer of the Year, Luke Reilly, 18, set a national age group record in his fifth-place finish in the 400-metre individual medley at the FINA World Junior Cham-pionships in Dubai.
Former Richmond Rapids swim star and three-time Olympian Brian Johns was also rec-ognized with an award last weekend by Swim-ming Canada.
Johns, who is now coaching swimming for the UBC Pacific Dolphins (one of his students is Reilly) received a Coach of the Year award for his work.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
By Kerry Vital
The temperatures are steadily falling, and it’s time to break out the cozy winter coats, gloves, hats and scarves. However, for those who can’t afford all of that warm gear, this season might be less than cheerful.
To combat this, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’
Association has kicked off its annual Coats for Kids campaign, hoping to beat last year’s collection number.
“Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heart-warming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers and adults,” says GVHBA Board of Directors Chair Lynn Harrison.
The donation drive supports the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which helps provide a brighter Christmas for families in need. This year marks the 18th year of the campaign, which
brings together members all over the Lower Mainland.“I am delighted so many prominent members of our
association are participating,” says Harrison. “It is so important to help families in our communities who are in need, especially during this time of the year.”
New or gently used winter coats, scarves, gloves, toques, warm blankets and sweaters and other warm items of clothing are all welcomed, as well as unwrapped gifts and toys or monetary donations.
Among the locations you can drop off items are many Black Press community newspaper offices, developers and other housing industry professionals in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, Vancouver and West Vancouver.
For a full list of participating locations and times when you can drop off donations, visit www.gvhba.org/coatsforkids.
GVHBA Coats for Kids campaign will keep spirits bright

Life is full of surprises, activities and excitement, and Ledingham McAllister is keeping that in mind with Charland, its condominium development in Coquitlam.
“We took your whole lifestyle into account,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing and design for Ledingham McAllister. “Life doesn’t end at your front door.”
In order to cater to that, Charland includes
thoughtful touches such as a bicycle repair station, bike-sized storage lockers and storage for kayaks and paddles, making the development perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
It also has the perfect location, just blocks from the Vancouver Golf Club and Blue Mountain Park, as well as shopping, dining and schools.
“It’s all about location, location, location,” says Mirecki. “There are mountain bike trails galore around here, and it’s incredibly green.”
Charland is joining the well-established Austin Heights neighbourhood, and will take advantage of some of the amazing views in the area.
“The views of Mount Baker and the golf course are absolutely beautiful,” Mirecki says.
Charland is equally beautiful, with its Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired exterior architecture, bamboo garden with its own seating area, infinity-pool water feature and
rooftop terrace.“There’s a real sense of pride in the outside,”
says Mirecki.Inside, the 88 spacious one-, two- and
three-bedroom floorplans range from approximately 604 to 1,003 square feet, with a large balcony or patio in every home.
Among the features you’ll find in your new space are nine-foot ceilings and contemporary laminate flooring throughout the main living areas. The kitchen in particular demonstrates the luxury of the home.
“The kitchens are spectacular,” Mirecki says. “They have all those things you would expect in a West Vancouver home. They’re really the showpiece.”
Stainless-steel appliances, halogen pot lights and under-cabinet lighting are just three of those features. The cabinetry and countertops differ depending on your colour scheme. The Dogwood scheme showcases
white Shaker-style cabinets complemented by quartz composite countertops with linear-style ceramic tile, while the Evergreen scheme includes flat-panel cabinets in a warm-grey wood-grain finish and quartz composite countertops paired with a modern porcelain mini-mosaic tile backsplash. You’ll also find a breakfast bar or large kitchen island in most homes.
Luxurious bathrooms feature square-edge quartz countertops and porcelain tile floors. The master ensuite includes a deep soaker tub with full-height ceramic tile surround and recessed pot lighting, which continues in the main bathroom as well.
“These are beautiful homes and floorplans,” Mirecki says.
Homes at Charland start at $219,900. For more information, check out www.ledmac.com/charland, call 604-492-3388 or visit the presentation centre at 102-1020 Austin Avenue, Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 5 p.m.
Submitted photosLedingham McAllister’s Charland features spacious floorplans with high-end details such as elegant kitchen cabinetry, large windows and stainless-steel appliances. The exterior architecture is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, making for beautiful curb appeal.

RICHARD MAXWELL
Time will pass, memories will last forever.
On November 28 2013 it will have been 10 years since Richard Maxwell passed away. To some of you who read this the name might not mean too much, to others you will remember Richard Maxwell in many different ways.
To his family he is Dad, a man who showed us the meaning of strength, friendship, and love. To others he was Dick Maxwell an Advisor, Mentor and Investor. One who set unprecedented levels and standards within the Industrial Commercial Real Estate, being recognized as the top revenue producer in Canada.
Through all of Dads achievements and successes in life his greatest love was his family. Dad provided the stability and balance that are key fundamentals for success in family. Dad would be the fi rst one to say this success would not be possible without the support of his wife and best friend our Mom Norma.
Mom and Dad provided the best childhood a kid could ask for, my brother Gord and I hold our best memories today from our childhood, these memories will stay forever in our hearts. This is all thanks to mom and dad.
There have been some extremely sad moments in our family, none that compare to the day Mom and Dad lost their son, and Gord and I our brother, Richard Maxwell.
This was a life changing day for all of us especially Mom and Dad. I never understood the true impact, until I became a father myself losing a child is unfathomable. Mom and Dad found strength in each other and moved forward but life was never the same.
Dad had many great achievements in life but his greatest achievement was his marriage to his best friend and our Mom Norma. This was a journey that began in the back forty ofNorma’s parents Gordon and Alice McKay’s strawberry fi eld and ended with a life full of wonderful memories. It was our Mom, Dads best friend who in the end took care of him. In life we sometimes search for the meaning of true love, our mom defi ned it.
Since our Dad Richard has passed our lives have grown and success has come to our families. Norma now has three grandchildren, Cooper and Sky from Randy and Shannon, and Luke from Gord and Christy. This also would have given Dad three grandchildren to hold and play with and he would have been thrilled. Grandpa Maxwell is always talked about amongst our families and our children will grow up knowing all about the great man their grandpa was.
Dad, we miss very much and wish you could be here with us today, we know you’re smiling down upon us and we continue to love and learn through your memory.
Love, your Family

7 OBITUARIES
Frank Robert TaylorOctober 9, 1922 -
November 20, 2013.
A very special, caring, wonder-ful man, a beloved father and grandfather has peacefully left this world’s journey. He was the eldest son of David and Frances’ family of seven and survived by brother Harry (Marie) and sister Shirley. He was predeceased by sisters Leonora (George), Lillian (Len), brothers, David and Ken. He is survived by his wife, B Louise (Harder), three sons Bob, Don (Wendy) James and daughter Nancy, grandchildren Christy (Matt), Brad (Liz), Joel, Chris (Nicki), Michael, Glenn, Caitlyn, Gillian and great- grandchildren Nicholas, Makenna and Khloe.Frank was born in Londonder-ry, Northern Ireland. The family moved to Canada in 1924 and settled in Vancouver in 1933. In his youth, Frank was a devoted son, valued big brother and a keen scout. In 1939, Frank earned a position with the Federal Government, beginning a 40 year career. Like his father, he served his country. From 1942-45, Frank was the pilot of a Lancaster crew of seven for the RCAF, fl ying sorties from England.Frank married in 1951 and moved to Richmond in 1953 building 2 of 3 homes with his father, residing for 60 years on Francis Road. Frank’s career as a federal tax expert carried on past government “retirement” age for another successful decade with private fi rms.Dad was a beloved parent to his four children, and to his eight grandchildren. He was an infl uential, supportive, caring father. As his brother Harry would say at family gatherings to Dad, “Your true leadership is like the universe, it carries on forever.”He will be remembered for his life-long leadership service to his community, particularly through scouting. The Salva-tion Army’s Camp Sunrise was an important, favorite place for more than 75 years. Frank inspired all with his passion and poetic words at fl ag- raisings and campfi res. His creative “Gleanings” blessed us and refl ected his deep spiri-tualness. He will be missed and always in our thoughts with love and respect. A private family service will be held in December, and a memorial service at Camp Sunrise in June. “Deep Peace”

Jennifer Strang photo/JenniferStrangPhotography.com photoThe Richmond Curling Club played host to the fourth annual Richmond Gogos Gala, which raised money for the Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Pictured: Ann Kramer, former co-ordinator of the Rich-mond Gogos; and Lauris Williams, the 2013 gala co-ordinator. The Nov. 7 event raised $8,200, and featured a buff et dinner, a marketplace, a silent auction and live auction emceed by Coun. Bill McNulty. The funds will help support African grand-mothers and the orphans they nurture in 15 African countries.
Richmond Society Community Living hosted its signature annual fundraising event Benefi t of Possibilities…A Community Aff air at the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel on Nov. 14. The event raised more than $15,000 in support of the society’s employment program, which provides youth and adults who are living with a de-velopmental disability the support they need to secure meaningful employment; allowing them to contribute to their fi nancial independence and full inclusion in community. The masquerade-themed Benefi t of Possibilities treated guests to a gourmet dinner, live entertainment and an auction. Community Living Awards were also presented to individuals, community and corporate partners who sup-port RSCL’s mandate of seeing beyond disability to ability.
