Can you smell it? It’s in the air again.It’s the heated debate about the stench

coming from Harvest Power as it busily “di-gests” our organic waste.

Apart from mega homes and Chinese-onlysigns, complaints about the recycling plant onNo. 7 and Blundell roads have taken up theirfair share of space in our letters pages overthe past six months.

Some folks have complained about suffer-ing migraines because of the poor air quality,others talked about being held captive in theirown homes to avoid the overpowering smell.

I live in Steveston and can’t say I’ve ever re-ally noticed the smell, but I don’t doubt othersdo, and if people are suffering, there’s reasonto change.

Harvest Power claims it’s a victim of itsown success. As municipalities around theLower Mainland have introduced the organicrecycling program, the incredible volumeHarvest Power now has to deal with is what’screating a stink. However, the company, alsoadmits it has “dropped the ball” on the odourcontrol file, and says it is now implementingsome changes.

Obviously, we are on the right track withthe recycling, and lots of it. We know toomuch about climate change to go back tothrowing our veggies in the trash with ourcatfood cans and cereal boxes. But it’s alsounacceptable, not to mention unhealthy, tobe inhaling fumes from this kind of operation.

Metro Vancouver, which issues the permitto Harvest Power, agrees the company ismaking some modifications, but it also saysmore could be done. Although this kindof organic recycling plant is the first of itskind around here, we are decades behindmany European countries when it comes torecycling, and it’s hard to believe they’re allwalking around with nose plugs.

The key is cost. Harvest Power is a for-profitcompany, and while it may like the idea ofsaving the planet, its first objective is to makemoney, and purchasing cutting-edge technol-ogy to reduce odour may also reduce thecompany’s bottom line.

However, if Harvest Power thinks upgrad-ing the plant to effectively deal with the odourwill undermine its economic viability, so be it.They can move on. In fact, it might be arguedthis is a job better suited to municipalitiesanyway, or some kind of not-for-profit wherethe primary goal is to provide service.

The fact is, we have to recycle our organicwaste. At this point, it’s inexcusable to doanything but. It’s also a fact people have theright to breath clean air. If the mantra of “eco-nomic viability” is tripping us up on eitherpoint, we need to look at a different model, amodel where the objective is something richerthan profit.

Something’s inthe air—again

Computer use by seniors: it helps!ThewebsiteWebMD reported earlier this week the results of a study conducted at the ArizonaMayo Clinic.The study’s author, Dr. Janina Krell-Roesch, found that computer use may help to ward off age-relateddeclines in memory and thinking.

The study does not conclude exactly how, as there may be a variety of reasons, such as computer use being astimulating experience for the brain. 1,900 seniors, all over age 70, participated in the study. None had anydiagnosed memory or thinking problems. They were followed for about four years.

One of the study’s results is that computer use at least once per week was linked to a 42% drop in risk formemory/thinking problems. Of the seniors who did use a computer, only 18% developed mild cognitiveimpairment (MCI), whereas 31% who did not use a computer developed MCI. The study’s findings will bepresented in April at the American Academy of Neurology Annual meeting in Vancouver.

This is a good study on first glance, providing further evidence of the importance and value of staying activeregardless of age!

LETTERSto theEditor

Dear Editor,Re: “Building bridge to

city hall,” News, March 2.I would like to commend

Peter Liu for organizingthe meeting on communitysafety for Chinese-Canadi-an seniors.

According to Alan Camp-bell’s excellent report aboutthis get-together, it appearsto have been a very suc-cessful effort.

Initiatives like these go along way in promoting mu-tual goodwill and intercul-tural harmony. Richmondhas now become a majorcentre for the Chinese–Ca-nadian community. Thiscommunity has made acommendable contributionto the growth and develop-ment of Canada for a longtime.

Unfortunately, issuessuch as Chinese-onlysignage and strata councilproceedings in Mandarinhave overshadowed thegreat work of this commu-nity.

In this context, the

initiatives being taken bycommunity leaders suchas Peter Liu, CouncillorsBill McNulty and Chak Au,city council, city staff andothers are a very positivedevelopment.

Certainly, we should beproud of our heritage. How-ever, let us also be proud ofbeing Canadians and mak-ing every effort to integrateinto the mainstream ratherthan create our own self-imposed ethnic enclaves.The first step in this regard,of course, is communi-cating in one commonlanguage, which is Englishin this part of the country.

This is bound to lead tothe next stage, which isparticipation in the main-stream activities.

These are the commonbonds that bind us alltogether as Canadians. Forthis, all of us, regardless ofother considerations, needto step forward and do ourpart.

Balwant SangheraRichmond

Dear Editor,Re: “Obliging a single group takes us

down a scary path,” Letters, March 4.I could not agree more with the writer of

this letter.Favouring a certain group can be very

harmful to the harmony of a community.City council is not setting a good example

by helping one ethnic group and not theothers. It could be compared to parentswho pay more attention to one of theirchildren than to the others.

This creates disharmony within the fam-ily and the same holds true in a commu-nity.

Most immigrants come to this countryby their own choosing and it is therefore intheir own interest to adapt to the laws andofficial language(s) of the country.

If you choose to move to another coun-try, it is your own responsibility to learn theofficial language. Yes, more English teach-ers are needed, but not at the taxpayers’expense.

I think most Chinese immigrants are veryeager to learn English. But it seems thiscity council has different rules for differentethnic groups.

The bottom line is, for the sake of goodharmony in the community, everyoneshould be treated equally.

Karl MaierRichmond

Dear mayor and councillors,As a business-oriented citizen

and long-time former directorof the Richmond Chamber ofCommerce, I’m very concernedabout the ongoing changing ofzoning from industrial/commercialto higher density residential inRichmond.

This is alarming, as I see thisas a severe loss to our businesscommunity of small and mediumsize businesses, who statisticallyare the employers of about 80 percent of B.C.s workforce.

The loss of 40 acres of industrialland in Steveston (The BC PackersLand) was just the beginning. Theloss continued around the OlympicOval, at the north end of No. 4Road on Hollybridge and Alder-bridge Way, Capstan Way, alongthe No. 3 Road corridor, withLansdowne Shopping Centre andthe industrial land south of West-minster Hwy and No. 2 Road next.Most was converted to apartmentsand highrises at a higher density.

Lost to us, the residents, are theshops we frequented: Art Knappon Alderbridge Way, the transmis-sion shop at Capstan Way, the carrental at No. 3 Road, where myvisitors from Europe rented theircars, Hype clothing store on No. 3Road, the old Richmond News of-fice and soon the RONA hardware

store, to name a few.The loss of industrial/commer-

cially zoned land is to the detri-ment of our local business com-munity and must be of concern tomayor and council, the RichmondChamber of Commerce and anyowner of any business.

Where and when will the Cityof Richmond replace these lostindustrial/commercial zones? It isnecessary to do so.

It’s detrimental to the zon-ing make up of Richmond andrepresents a negative change inRichmond’s emphasis on businessdevelopment.

My question to the mayor andcouncillors is: What kind of a citydo we want to be? Do we want tobe a bedroom community, wherepeople live but have to work outof town and where few businessservices are available. Or do wewant to create a balance betweenresidential zoning and businesseszoning (commercial/industrial)where employment is availableand where business taxes contrib-ute to residential taxes?

Do we prefer a mixture of areasthat have residential as well asbusinesses and other serviceswithin a reasonably close proxim-ity? I would say so.

More than two and halfyears after a 64-year-

old cyclist was killed on aRichmond road, a man hasbeen charged in connectionwith the death.

The male victim, who hasnever been named, diedafter being struck by a carin the 4400 block of No. 5Road, north of Highway 91,in the early hours of LabourDay, Sept. 2, 2013.

The 64-year-old Rich-mond man was found onthe sidewalk by passingmotorists, but a sustainedattempt to revive him wasunsuccessful.

Police then discovered alicence plate at the sceneand were able to trackdown the alleged driver andvehicle involved.

On Wednesday, RichmondRCMP stated that RoneelSingh, 29, of Vancouver,has been charged with one

count of dangerous driv-ing causing death and onecount of failing to stop withintent to escape.

At the time of incident,police said the 26-year-olddriver taken into custodylived in Richmond.

One of the people whocame to the stricken cy-clist’s aid, Andrew Bailey,told the Province newspapershortly after the accident

that he did what he could,getting someone to call 911and stopping other motor-ists for assistance.

But Bailey said any praisegoing around should begiven to a passing motorist,who administered CPR untilparamedics arrived.

Bailey had been drivingto his nearby home froman all-night drug store andstopped when he saw a bikewheel and helmet in theroad and the man lying onthe sidewalk, not moving.

He didn’t have a phoneso he banged on the doorof a nearby residence toget them to call 911. Hethen went back to the roadto flag down help becausehe didn’t have any medicaltraining.

A motorist stopped andalso called 911 on hisphone.

“I held his cellphone(connected to emergencyservices) while he admin-istered CPR for seven toeight minutes before theparamedics arrived,” saidBailey, 33, at the time. “Itwas really quite amazing.

“The thing that blows mymind is I’m sure he was asconvinced as I was that thisman was dead already.”

THEROADRULESwww.roadrules.ca

We are bombarded with car advertising and carmarketing. We know all the ‘ad’ enticements—Open road along the ocean’s edge, hugging the

curves, top speed, wind in your hair, perfect day, perfectbliss in …pick your favourite ride.

Simple to conjure a ‘reality check’: stop/start traffic,rush hour, poor weather, work worries and ‘To Do lists’transforming your ‘favourite ride’ into a chore. Yet theappeal lingers …or, at least, the car companies hope this isthe way it works. We marvel at the super-original ads —‘TheCog’ for Honda, ‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star’ for Nissan’sJuke, Volkswagen’s YaYaYa among the highlights—what thebrightest ad minds fuelled by unlimited advertising dollarscan create.

Still we remember them …or at least the car companies hopethis is the way it works. But for all our collective familiaritywith car advertising and marketing, contemplating the‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of it from the car companies’ perspectiveis unusual for the average consumer, as is ‘feeling’ for themas they struggle to reach the millennials, the demographiccohort with birth years ranging from the early 1980s tothe early 2000s whose growing indifference to obtaininga driver’s license and to car ownership is presenting anunprecedented challenge.

Apparently there is even a sub-set, ‘hipsters’, fashion-conscious, educated, socially and politically socialist, andurbane proving the toughest to reach and yet the mostdesirable because they “hit above their weight financially.”

Millennials are now the dominant generation, nearly

100 million in Canada and the US alone, representing nearly30 percent of the population and predicted to wield by 2017,when the eldest reach their mid-30s, more than $200-billionin buying power. Marketing experts put it bluntly: “If youbuy into the idea that this demographic doesn’t … [care]about cars, and you’re a higher up in the car industry, if wedon’t fix this, we’re all sunk.”

At its simplest, target marketing aligns features and benefitswith the target’s needs and desires. Millennials are thoughtto care “more about whether they can stream their musicover Bluetooth than how fast they get from zero to 60.”Ford executive Sheryl Connelly has been quoted as saying,“cars must fit into the lifestyles of young people and notvice versa. That means an increased emphasis on quality,versatility, durability and technology. …They want to bebehind the wheel of their iPhone as opposed to the wheelof an automobile.”

From a safety perspective, of course, this phone culture onlycompounds the challenge. Many studies have shown that‘connectivity’ features, regardless of how they are configuredor accessed, distract drivers from what should be their mainand only focus—watching the road.

Distracted driving is now estimated to equal drunkdriving as a major cause of fatal crashes. In overcomingmillennials indifference to cars as status symbols,heightened regard to cost, embrace of multi-modaltransportation especially in urban environments, anddislike for the automobile’s perceived environmentalimpact, advertisers are now focusing on the benefitsof in-car connectivity – a delicate matter when whoall know that the driver’s full attention should beon the road.

Eyes on the Road, PleaseAdvertising Feature

Agroup trying to form a business improve-ment association (BIA) in Steveston

has had its bid for $30,000 from the City ofRichmond knocked back.

The newly-namedSteveston BusinessDevelopment Alliance(SBDA) asked the city tochip in the cash towardsa $42,000 communityoutreach study, in orderto determine support for aBIA in the village.

The SBDA, formedprimarily by members ofthe current Steveston Mer-chants Association, needsto conduct the outreachbefore the city can con-sider allowing businesses– that could be affected bya BIA levy collected by thecity – to formally vote onthe formation of a BIA.

However, earlier thisweek, city council ap-proved a staff recommendation to declinethe funding request, citing concerns overthe city being able to maintain neutralityand setting a precedent for other Richmondbusiness districts to make similar requestsfor hand-outs.

Where that decision now leaves the SBDAand its outreach study is unclear. Questionsasked of the alliance by the Richmond News

were not answered by the time of going topress.

The move to form a BIA in Steveston hasbeen in the works for many years, but hasbeen fraught with difficulty as some mer-chants in the village vehemently oppose itscreation.

One of them, DominqueJarry, said the group tryingto set up the BIA is stilltrying to impose its willagainst the majority of thevillage merchants, most ofwhom are small businessowners who, accordingto Jarry, can’t handleanother expense in theshape of a BIA levy.

Jarry, who owns SugarArt, told the News back inNovember of his objec-tions and says nothing haschanged since then.

“The only thing that haschanged is that they’veformed this new group,”said Jarry.

“However, it’s full ofnon-business owners andother people who would

be unaffected by a BIA levy.“We were supposed to have a meeting with

(the group’s hired) consultant last fall, butshe cancelled and the meeting was neverre-arranged.”

Jarry said he and Jerry Biggar, who ownsSteveston Landing — which houses 12 busi-nesses, including Shady Island and Sockeye

City restaurants and Pierhouse Deli — havebeen, for the last few weeks and months,meeting all of city council and the mayorindividually, in an attempt to get their pointsacross.

“(The funding request) doesn’t makesense; they must know by now they don’thave the support of the community, so toask the city for funding is a total waste,”added Jarry.

“I’m very surprised by this as they stillhave no justification; they’re not relevant tothe village.”

In an emailed statement to the News, thealliance said it plans to “talk to businessesabout the types of things a BIA could ac-complish in Steveston.

“When we have completed that researchwith the local Steveston business communitywe will have information to share with themedia.

“We believe Steveston business stakehold-ers are open minded to working together

to develop ideas and programs to encour-age business growth, not only in the busysummer season, but all year long. TheSBDA strongly believes, in light of changingeconomic trends, a proactive approach tobuilding new business is preferable to nothaving a plan.”

Richmond is one of the few cities in theLower Mainland that doesn’t have a BIAwithin its boundaries.

A city staff report that went before citycouncil this week indicated that the mainadvantage of granting the SBDA’s fundingrequest would be that the long-running mat-ter, of whether the village should or shouldnot have a BIA, would be more likely to beresolved.

However, granting the funds, accordingto the report, could be interpreted as thecity itself supporting a BIA, prior to propercommunity consultation taking place or thatthe initiative is led by the city, rather than thebusiness community.

There’s a price to pay for Metro Vancouverdiverting its food and garden waste away

from the landfill.About four years ago, in a bid to cut down

on methane gas emissions, cities acrossMetro Vancouver agreed to begin banningfood and garden waste from ending up in thelandfill.

The question is, at what point does it be-come too expensive for the company chargedwith recycling the organics from our greenbins to operate without overtly impacting thelives of Richmond residents?

At the moment, all parties concerned— composting firm Harvest Power, MetroVancouver and local residents — agree thatit’s the people who are footing the bill for thepungent odours emanating from the eastRichmond plant, which has the contractto accept and process the majority of theregion’s organic waste.

A higher than anticipated volume of organicwaste, growing complaints over the years andthe pending renewal of a Metro Vancouver aircontaminant permit paved the way to a townhall meeting last week involving the stake-holders, including around 40-50 concernedRichmond residents.

Harvest admitted at the meeting in a Rich-mond hotel that it had “dropped the ball” interms of managing the odour output, but saidit had made a number of recent modificationsto its operations, near No. 7 and Blundellroads, and hoped it would have an effect inthe next month or two.

However, according to Metro Vancouver,there are other technologies available to thecompany, not currently being used at Har-vest, that are being utilized in similar opera-tions in other parts of the world.

“Harvest didn’t commit to saying they woulduse all (technology) that is available to them.They’re still deciding if they can do it,” saidRay Robb, Metro Vancouver’s director ofregulation and enforcement.

“There are things that can be done, but it’sa question of cost.

“At what point is it still economically viableto provide this public service,while protecting the interestsof the environment and thecommunity?

“Can we issue a permit thatprotects people’s quality of lifeand allows an operation to beeconomically viable?”

However, it was, addedRobb, made abundantly clearto Metro and Harvest Power atthe town hall that the “currentsituation is not acceptable.”

Asked by the News whyother technology or practicesto contain the odours are notbeing used, Harvest Powersaid it’s examining all options,but indicated that the apparently prohibitivecost is only one factor.

“Viability is another; i.e., will they actuallywork?” said Harvest spokesperson StephenBruyneel.

“Applicability (is) another…will they work atthe site? So you have to look at them altogeth-er, which is what Harvest continues to do.”

One of the residents affected, ElizabethBenson, said a lot of upset people voiced theirconcerns at the meeting.

“Many left disappointed, I think theythought the company could be shut down,”said Benson, who lives near Steveston onGilbert and Maple roads, several kilometresaway from the facility.

“There were no health experts there, whichwas a shame.

“I can smell it off and on, usually latemornings. Harvest was very apologetic at themeeting and seemed interested in fixing the

problem.”Benson said she and some

of the residents spoke toHarvest and Metro Vancouverabout setting up a commu-nity advisory panel, so theresidents could stay informedin the future and have theirconcerns heard first-hand.

“Harvest and Metro Vancou-ver seemed willing, but not ev-eryone was approving of that.Some (residents) thought itwas selling out and acceptingof the situation,” said Benson.

Mark Salopek was one ofskeptics. “…I have little faithin the (advisory panel)…and

until there is stronger regulatory oversight ofHarvest, participating in (a panel)…will besimply going over and over the same issueswithout resolution,” Salopek said in an email.

“Until Harvest is held to account, financiallyand environmentally, there is little value (in apanel)...”

Robb said the meeting was valuable in

terms of both Metro and Harvest Power hear-ing first-hand how people are affected.

“It was very much an information ex-change…but it doesn’t solve the problems,”said Robb.

“Harvest said they have made somechanges and modified some processes. Butthey did say it would take a while for thechanges to take effect, however. It could takemany weeks before it’s noticed.”

Robb said Metro is still working through theair contaminant permit process with HarvestPower and that it’s allowing the company timeto respond, in terms of how it’s going to ad-dress the public’s concerns.

“Only then will we consider issuing a permitthat takes everything into consideration,” headded.

“We are still taking in people’s concernsand will do up to 30 days after the publicmeeting (which was March 3). But we willalso consider comments made right up to theday we issue the permit.

“The company may also have their ownconcerns about the permit we intend to issue;it’s all about negotiations.”

It’s very rare, said Robb, that Metro doesn’tissue a permit.

Harvest told the News this week that, interms of “dropping the ball,” the manage-ment of the odour from its facility “requiresa constant focus and attention on operationsand the people that do the work...if that isn’tgoing on, then odour problems can arise.”

The company has also set up a “hotline”for complaints which it said will be frequentlymonitored. The number is 604-836-8387. Inaddition, people can email [email protected].

Richmond politicians want to know how atunnel under the Fraser River that was

deemed “good for 50 years” is to be filled inand replaced with a 10-lane bridge.

Coun. Harold Steves said council has senta letter to the provincial government seek-ing all documentation around its September2013 decision to remove the George MasseyTunnel and replace it with a $3.5-billion tollbridge.

The request comes after Freedom of Infor-mation documents showed Port Metro Van-couver (PMV) and the Fraser Surrey Dockscompany lobbied hard in favour of scrappingthe tunnel, a move that would allow largerships to ply the south arm of the Fraser River.

“This bridge decision caught us totallyunawares,” said Steves. “We had a lot ofmeetings with (former) Transportation Minis-ter Kevin Falcon in 2006 when he told us thetunnel was good for 50 years.”

Steves said FOI documents show messagesfrom PMV and Fraser Surrey Docks to govern-ment planners in 2012-13, at a time whenthe bridge-versus-tunnel debate was takingplace in Christy Clark’s government.

A memo from the port in March 2013 — sixmonths before Clark’s announcement —showed the port’s preferred option and notedofficials’ sensitivity to premature disclosureof their choice: “Option No. 2: Replacing thetunnel with a new bridge in the same location.Not publicly confirmed yet, but this is (PortMetro’s) preference.”

A month later, port president Robin Silves-ter wrote “established terminals upriver of thetunnel (like the Fraser Surrey Docks) are atrisk of becoming obsolete.” His letter was ad-dressed to Geoff Freer, provincial director forthe tunnel replacement project.

“This project can expand trade opportuni-ties. The single biggest challenge is the tun-nel,” Silvester said.

Asked for comment, Freer said the letter“didn’t influence the province’s decision atall,” other than showing that the river wasimportant to the economy.

He said the choice was about the best way

to help thousands of commuters stuck in traf-fic each day.

“It’s about being there and seeing the needto do something,” he said.

But Doug Massey, son of the former DeltaMLA for whom the tunnel is named, is skepti-cal of officialdom’s explanations.

Massey noted that Falcon said 10 yearsago the existing tunnel would be retainedand eventually twinned with a second tunnel.A total of $22 million was spent on seismicimprovements in 2004.

Freer said the tunnel has “come to the endof its useful life” and “no longer meets today’shighway and seismic standards.”

Massey doesn’t understand how the prov-ince’s assessments could be so wildly differ-ent in the span of 10 years.

“Didn’t Falcon know what he was talkingabout? It’s crazy to remove a good, usefulcrossing,” he said.

Freer said the federal government has beenasked to contribute to the bridge’s construc-tion costs, but no amount has been deter-mined. He said the 110,000-tonne tunnelstructure will be removed in a way that pro-tects important salmon populations. Removalcosts and who will pay them have not beendetermined, said Freer.

FOI documents also show dredging special-ist Dave Hart and the port’s developmentstrategies manager Jennifer Natland statingnew container terminals could be built on portland in Richmond at the foot of No. 7 and No.8 roads.

Hart said the channel could be deepenedfrom 11.5 metres to as much as 18.5 metresso even bigger ships could be accommodatedup to “100 years” from now.

Asked for comment on the port’s role, TomCorsie, vice-president of real estate, catego-rized staff’s missives as making “statementsof fact” rather than lobbying.

Corsie said it is easy to overrate the tun-nel’s importance, but it is only one of severalobstacles in the way of deep-bottomed ships.For example, dredging operations would berequired at a cost of more than $100 million.

Other obstacles include underwater pipesfor sanitary sewers, water mains, telephonelines and natural gas; and the width of thechannel.

The Richmond School District is report-ing an eighth straight year of growth for

its international student program, whichnow accounts for nearly one in 20 full-timestudents.

This school year set a new annual recordfor growth since the program began in 2002,as the district added 175 more non-residentsto its classrooms, according to a report to theRichmond School Board on Monday.

The parents or guardians of this year’s 955international students paid just over $13.5million in tuition to the district. The entireprogram — including short-term classes,summer schooling and an offshore pro-gram in China — grossed $18 million. Afterexpenses, the district took home $6.5 millionthis year.

With government funding not meeting ris-ing costs, board chair Debbie Tablotney saidthe revenue is “assisting” the district.

“This has helped us with rising costs forhydro and all types of things. And we haven’treceived any large increases in grants, so weare relying on some of these funds.”

Trustee Ken Hamaguchi echoed Tablotney.“When it comes to the budget, we rely on

this,” he said.Presently, for the second term, there are

117 international students in elementaryschools and 854 such students in secondaryschools.

“At a time when we are closing schools,this program allows us to keep our (enrol-ment) numbers up,” said Tablotney.

Richard Hudson, director of internationalprograms, stated in the report that the districtcould expect international student enrolmentto soon reach 1,150.

Tablotney said the district is not lookingto grow the program “too much at this point

in time,” however,the board has not seta hard cap on theprogram, which hasgrown in absolutenumbers 14 of the 15years it has existed.

“Schools are confi-dent that the programnumbers can increaseand still maintain thequality of the studentexperiences,” wroteHudson.

Tablotney said theinternational studentsdo not influence cur-riculum or the kindsof programs offered inthe district.

The district contendsinternational studentsnot only bring revenueto schools, but theyalso “foster greater

international understandings and relation-ships.”

Hudson said too many internationalstudents could dampen the internationalexperience for the students and thus themarketability.

His report indicates the district is be-ing proactive in promoting the program’sgrowth. For instance, the district is looking toenhance professional services offerings, andto provide additional supports for students,school and families.

The district is also marketing the program,with recent administrative staff trips to Brazil,Germany, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea,Taiwan and Spain to “create and deepen”relationships with respective governmentorganizations and agencies.

Hudson specifically reported on the growthof the district’s offshore school in Shenzhen,China, noting 233 students and adults visitedRichmond from the school, this year.

Chinese students account for about 80 percent of the district’s international students,who come from 21 different countries.

Next year, the district will charge slightly

higher base tuition fees — soon to be set at$14,000 per year. The rate hike is expectedto bring in an additional $1.3 million, shouldenrolment remain the same. The tuitionhikes are said to be in response to otherdistricts in the region doing the same, notedHudson.

The program is responsible for 89 full-timeemployees, including 55 teachers in the dis-trict and 19 teachers working in Shenzhen.

The recent growth has resulted in a newmanagement position to provide transla-tion support and oversight of a communityoutreach program.

The report was sent to the board as an an-nual update, but also to make it a “programof choice,” which means the district will havemore flexibility in choosing students and set-ting expectations for them.

Trustee Donna Sargent said “we are proudof our international student program.”

The program’s growth corresponds witha push by the provincial government to in-crease international students by 50 per cent,from 2012 to 2016, at all levels of public andprivate education.

The biggest quandary when it comes todining out in Richmond today is choosing

where to go.The city’s restaurant industry has exploded

over the last two decades and in the commer-cial hubs, it seems you can’t take two stepswithout finding yourself outside the door of afood-serving establishment.

But it wasn’t always that way. Richmondresident Jackie Brown has lived in the citysince 1952 and recalls a childhood whereeating out was not part of the lexicon andrestaurant choices were few and far between.

“I think people were a lot more frugal inthose days and we mostly ate at home or atthe homes of relatives,” she said.

“Growing up with Depression-era parents,most families had only one income earnerand we watched every penny. I don’t remem-ber going to restaurants until I was in my earlyteens.”

By 1965, Brown was meeting friends at the

Brighouse Café, a modest Chinese restauranton No. 3 Road, where a $3 serving of chickenchow mein could fill two teenage bellies.

Richmond’s first A&W opened in 1962,a drive-in diner where waitresses on roller-skates delivered food trays to patrons’vehicles.

“For us, that was pretty exciting,” recalledEunice Robinson, who lived in Richmonduntil 1969. Among her favourite eateries inthe 1960s was Chipper’s Restaurant on No.3 Road, a basic burger joint where she wouldmeet her friends for burgers and fries.

“But we’d only go on weekends and cer-tainly not every weekend, because the burg-ers were expensive for us. We had no jobsand babysitting paid just 50 cents an hour, soeating out was a real treat.”

The opening of the Oak Street Bridge in1957 and the Massey Tunnel in 1959 led tohuge population growth in Richmond.

In 1956, there were close to 26,000 resi-dents, a number that grew to 50,000 by 1966and increased to 80,000 10 years later.

McDonald’s opened its first Canadian res-

taurant in Richmond in 1967 and Robinsonremembers it causing a stir in the community.

“Everyone had heard of Ronald McDonald,”she said. “The burgers were 39 cents andyou could get a burger, fries and a Coke for adollar, something we considered a real deal!”

Richmond’s first major subdivisions cameinto being in the decade that followed andJon Henderson, a local teacher back then,was one of the first to move into the Rideausubdivision in 1976.

“I don’t know that there were a lot of res-taurants in Richmond at that time — enoughto suit our needs, but nothing like there istoday,” he mused.

“We’d frequent Bella’s Pizza at the St.Albans-Granville strip mall and Crono’s Pizzaon Minoru Boulevard. We’d also go to Dave’sFish & Chips and the Charthouse Restaurantin Steveston.”

Dave Scott opened Dave’s Fish & Chips, alongtime local favourite, in 1978 on ChathamStreet as a small take-out restaurant.

It moved to Moncton Street six years laterand became a 58-seat dine-in eatery with a

take-out option. Dave’s is among Steveston’slongest standing restaurants.

As more women entered the workforce inthe 1970s and 80s, eating out became amore acceptable means of feeding a busyfamily with two incomes.

Brown said her propensity to dine outchanged considerably in those years after shemarried and started a family.

“With my husband and I both working fulltime, there were nights when it was easier topop out and grab a bite to eat, particularly ifour kids had sports or activities,” she said.

Kajak’s steaks and pastas, as well as itsdance floor in north Richmond, made it anappealing venue when Brown and her spouseheaded out on a date night, while the Sirloineron No. 3 and Cambie served a good buffet.

Robinson also began eating out more,tempted by the increase in the number ofrestaurants, coupled with her entry into theworkforce and a disposable income. By 1974,when her parents moved from Sea Island,they would get together at Banners Restau-rant at Broadmoor to host clan gatherings.

n Richmond’s restaurant landscape has changed dramaticallyover the years. Above, a small pub on Steveston’s boardwalk.Right, the Brighouse Cafe on No. 3 Road in 1965.

Although the city is now overflowing with restaurants, it wasn’t always this way


Box-batter waffles cooked in a budgetiron might have seemed good. Then

along comes Philippe Leroux and hisauthentic Belgian Liège waffles to upsetthe Aunt Jemima establishment.

It’s a weekday afternoon in Steveston,on the eve of International Waffle Day onMarch 25 (yes, there is such a thing),and Leroux slides one of his creationsacross a small table inside Damien’s Bel-gian Waffles, a business the pastry chefhas owned since 2007. He sweetens thepot with a French press coffee.

If this grid-patterned pastry was an art,Leroux would be some kind of Cézanne.

“What we do is more traditional — theold style waffle from a long time ago. Noeggs inside,” says the 46-year-old, a his-tory lesson at the ready.

“They have no eggs because greatgrandma didn’t have a fridge. They’dbuy the waffles, put them in a metal boxand (store it) in the cellar. You can keepthem for a week or more.”

Leroux bought the Chatham Roadbusiness from an entrepreneur whonamed it after his son. Leroux has beencarrying on the tradition of selling wafflesmade with dough—not pancake batter—using real butter, honey and Belgianpearl sugar. He’s also upped the griddlegame by filling his glass counter withflavours well beyond vanilla.

Leroux was born in Lille, a city inFrance near the Belgian border. Be-ing so close to the country known forwaffles, they’re easy to find here — notso much in other areas of France, wherepastries such as croissants and briocherule. Whatever pastry chefs were mak-ing, a young Leroux couldn’t help butstop and look.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever been toFrance, but if you look at certain pastryshops, it’s crazy; it’s very nice what theydo. And I thought, ‘How do they dothat?’”

So, after high school, he studied theart, completing a three-year apprentice-ship. He became a travelling pastry chef,working in France, elsewhere in Europeand, in 1994, Canada.

“I moved to Canada to learn Englishand stay a few years,” he says.

He found work in pastry shops, res-taurants and hotels around the country,including resort towns of Banff — wherehe met his wife Miho — and Whistler. InVancouver he worked at the longstand-ing French restaurant Le Crocodile andalso taught at Pacific Institute of CulinaryArts, where on his first day he chal-lenged students to make a hot souffléfor the school’s restaurant. But it wasbecoming clear to Leroux that he wantedhis own business.

He learned about Damien’s in Ste-veston. It was up for sale after a yearin operation, as the original owner wasreturning to Europe. Leroux bought it,added his own touches and expanded

the waffle offerings to walk-in andwholesale customers — from vanilla andchocolate to green tea and savoury.

Running the business with his wife,and balancing family life with twoschool-aged kids, is busy. Leroux worksa minimum of 55 hours each week, ormore than 70 hours a week during busytimes such as Chinese New Year.

And this being Steveston, he can’t takeweekends off.

“Steveston is busy Saturday, and Sun-day. It’s hard to take a day off,” he said.“I’m off mostly Mondays and it’s hard toplan something too long because I haveto pick up kids from school.”

Still, Leroux might manage a workoutand meet friends on a day off — or, ifthe stars align, go skiing. When diningout, he skips the chains and looks forsmall corner restaurants — ones thatvalue quality and ingredients like hedoes.

“I’ve been raised like that,” he said.“It’s like if you make cookies at home.If you (use) butter, whatever you do —,except if you burn them — you’re good.But if you use margarine or crappy in-gredients, you will have crappy food.”

For those who are wary of butter,Leroux has an easy counter-argument:his grandmother and great-grandmotherwere raised on it and both lived until age99.

“I’m not going to do 99...but you caneat,” says Leroux, who eats two to threewaffles each week. “Moderation, that’sit.”

Nathan Fong, a Vancouverfood stylist and writer, says

Richmond was better known forits “continental” restaurants 30years ago, and for fish and chips inSteveston.

“Richmond wasn’t known for itsAsian cuisine back then,” he said,recalling a review he wrote on theChatham Street restaurant La Per-gola, “forgotten now, but it was anamazing Italian restaurant owned

by two Italian brothers.”Things changed in the 1970s,

when the uncertainty of the up-coming turnover in China broughtmany Hong Kong immigrants tothe Lower Mainland, and withthem, high-end restaurants, noodleshops and BBQ shops.

Richmond’s population grew by28,000 between ’76 and ’86 andby a whopping 46,000 between ’86and ’96.

Fong said he’s seen the city’srestaurant scene change mostdramatically in the past decade,

with the influx of mainly Mandarin-speaking Mainland Chinese andTaiwanese immigrants.

“Many northern style, Beijing,Shanghainese and Taiwanese res-taurants have opened,” he said.

Numbers from the City ofRichmond’s business licence baseevidence this growth.

Neonila Lilova, the city’s econom-ic development manager, notesthat there were 711 food servicerestaurants in February 2016 —excluding bars.

In 2009, there were 372 restau-rants in that category, a 91 percent growth in the past six years.

To some extent, the restaurantgrowth can be attributed to thedining out proclivities of Asianimmigrants, which differ markedlyfrom those of Caucasians.

“Chinese will dine out moreregularly as an everyday routine,”Fong said.

“For example, you’ll find Asianfamilies having dim sum, dinnersor a quick noodle nosh at a BBQnoodle shop. By contrast, I thinkdining out for Caucasians or West-erners is more social and special-event driven — to commemorateanniversaries, dates or birthdays.”

Stephanie Yuen, a Vancouverfood journalist, agreed.

“Asians, especially Chinese,enjoy eating out for no special rea-sons or occasions,” she said.

“We are prone to inviting friendsand relatives to dinner in a res-taurant rather than at home andchoose to conduct social gather-ings during meal times in restau-rants.”

Referring to the massive growthin Richmond’s restaurant num-bers, Yuen said that restaurantshave been among “the top choicesfor immigrant business entrepre-neurs, including those who hadno prior (food and beverage) andhospitality experience.

“The erection of Asian shoppingcentres and strip malls has createdopportunities for those who want toput a foot into the seemingly flour-ishing restaurant industry and as aconsequence, we have more andmore Asian restaurants bombard-ing the local market — Japanese,Vietnamese, tea shops and cafes,Shanghainese, Szechuanese andspecialty eateries,” she said.

Can Richmond continue to ac-commodate such rapid growth inits restaurants? Only time will tell.

Former Canucks facingoff against cancerRichmond will play host to Vancouver

Canucks Alumni and hockey teams fromacross Metro Vancouver for the second an-nual Face Off Against Cancer tournament.

Former Canucks Kirk McLean and JyrkiLumme will be among the players lacing upnext week at the Richmond Ice Centre atRiverport for the charity tournament, whichraises money for the Canadian Cancer So-ciety’s Camp Goodtimes program, enablingchildren with cancer and their families toforget about cancer for a while and experi-ence camp.

For teams like 37 Strong, however, theMarch 20 tournament is more than justanother fundraisier — it’s an opportunity tounite and remember a teammate and friendwho sadly lost his own life to cancer lastyear.

Before he died, City of Vancouver parksand recreation employee Trevor Desjardinsencouraged people to get active and sharedhis love of hockey by organizing a localteam.

“Here’s a guy who lived a healthy lifestyle,didn’t drink or smoke and got cancer,” saidJayson Heaney, 37 Strong’s team captain.

“Hockey connects people and Trevor was

the heart and soul of our team. This is oursecond time participating…and first timeplaying in the tournament without Trevor.

“It’s going to be very emotional for all ofus, but important that we be there for hismemory and to support a cause that is work-ing to stop cancer and to help kids attendCamp Goodtimes.”

As well as raising funds for the program,Face Off Against Cancer is an opportunity toremember those lost to cancer or currentlyfighting the disease.

Lead sponsor is the Vancouver CanucksAlumni, with McLean and Lumme lendingtheir skating and coaching skills to the event.

“Face Off Against Cancer is a one-of-a-kind event in Metro Vancouver, where teamshave a premier hockey experience, all whilehelping an important charity like the Cana-dian Cancer Society,” said McLean.

“Very few people haven’t been touched bycancer — myself included. This is my sec-ond year supporting the event and it’s bothincredibly fun and incredibly meaningful foreveryone involved.”

Retirement is full of surprises. And notalways the good ones.

Over the shiny newness of retirement, apall of enormous sadness has fallen. OnFeb. 24 my mother-in-law, Riva, passedaway at the age of 93. Much as we mightaccept, intellectually, the reality of ourelderly parents passing on, when it hap-pens, the sky all but falls down.

Our world becomes smaller; the sun’sbrightness dims.

And life is never quite the same. Parentsare parents; no matter how old we get,we are still their children. And when they

leave us, we are unpretentiously sad.Entering the world of retirement not that

long ago, I had no illusions that our collec-tive parents would live forever.

My mother, at 92, recently had pneumo-nia and now there’s still a part of me thatpanics every time the phone rings.

My husband Harvey’s father is almost96 and has outlived several life-threaten-ing diseases.

Still we worry.Harvey’s mother, Riva, suffered with Al-

zheimer’s disease and struggled through anumber of seizures. A sweet, gentle soul,Riva was a loving wife, attentive motherand grandmother.

Then bam, at age 83 the disease tookover. The unfairness of all that sufferingcast upon such a gentle woman defies

words. Yet here we are, left to navigatethe grief of Riva’s passing and feeling theinexorable sadness that accompanies it.

All of a sudden, my carefree retirementis anything but carefree. There was afuneral to plan over the course of one anda half days; arrangements to make; flightsto book. And a 96-year-old father-in-lawto comfort and coddle. After 76 years ofmarriage, his life, shattered.

Tempered by the reality of two remain-ing nonagenarian parents in precarioushealth, retirement is a mixture of excitingnew experiences and harsh realities.

It reminds me that no matter how muchplanning people do, life takes whatevertwists and turns it darn well wants.

The saying “Man plans and God laughs”has never felt so true.

So in the end, by necessity, we mustlearn again and again to roll with it; to flexour muscles, soften our hearts and acceptwhat is.

Because when it comes right down to itthe order of the day is serendipity: “luckthat takes the form of finding valuable orpleasant things that are not looked for.”

Like it or not, the rest is life, flexing itsmuscles.

Each of us would do ourselves a favourby embracing the seeming randomnessof life for what it is: a world where nothingreally happens by accident. And the newworld of retirement unfolds.

Shelley Civkin is a former communica-tions officer with the Richmond PublicLibrary

What’s rarer in today’s super-heated realestate market than an affordable, tradi-

tional style, detached family home?How about a defined space for the public

to gather?That’s what is driving Vancouver-based

architectural firm Public, and one of itsprincipals, Brian Wakelin, into stimulatingdiscussion on trying to find and developsmall areas for that purpose. He will befeatured in the next Lulu Series: Art in theCity presentation on March 24 at RichmondCity Hall.

In a region where open space is a pre-cious commodity, why is it important toinclude public spaces?

Wakelin said venues where the populationcan participate in shared experiences helpcreate a sense of community.

But with current stratospheric prices forreal estate in the region, is there enoughmotivation to have those public spaces ma-terialize, especially when they would be builtmostly with public funds?

“Yes, we have to,” Wakelin said. “Thosespaces are vitally important. Civic lifeunfolds, and it doesn’t do that in a privateapartment or home. It happens in placeswhere there’s a collective and shared experi-ence.

“I’m optimistic that it will happen.”As scarcity for real estate increases, the

need for public spaces will intensify and be-come more important, Wakelin added. Andthat will create the need for some uniquesolutions, because in many areas of theLower Mainland, it has not been adequatelyprovided for based on future populationgrowth.

Many of the bigger cities around the globethat have been deemed “world class” haveplanned for that and take great pride in theirpublic places for residents and visitors to

assemble.“When you look at the great cities in the

world, the public spaces haven’t happenedby accident,” Wakelin said. “They havebeen very internationally designed, createdand constructed. Rome, Paris, London,Hong Kong, Tokyo — the spaces wherepeople collect and the images we havewhen we think of those places haven’t beencarefully considered.

“Those cities have evolved over hundredsand in some case thousands of years, andthe spaces where people get together arecentral to what it means to be there,” Wake-lin said. “I hope Greater Vancouver will havethose kinds of spaces in the future becauseit certainly does not have them now.”

So, which cities are paying attention toproviding public spaces?

Wakelin said Vancouver’s original city plandoes a decent job of setting aside tracts ofopen space. And Surrey is on the list forits efforts to try and match its fast-growingpopulation.

“And I know Richmond is, as well,”Wakelin said. “But I think the places webuild and envision for the future have to bethought out more holistically than just parkspace for passive recreation. They have tobe thought out as public spaces for peopleof all shapes, sizes and abilities.”

One aspect most public spaces shareis the ability to attract people. And that isa crucial point, because in many cases ifyou simply build a public gathering space,people will not automatically come.

“In many cases, successful public spacesare actively programmed,” Wakelin said.“There’s the flower market in Camden Town(London), antique fairs in other parts of thecity, and other activities in adjacent areasthat help support them, such as cafes.

“You really have to work to make a publicspace, then work to actively animate them.”

A shining example of that is in Paris,Wakelin said, where areas along the SeineRiver are turned into temporary beachesfor the public to enjoy during the summer

months.“They bring in sand, deck chairs and all

kinds of activities for people who are unableto get out to summer vacation spots — itcan be very hot in Paris. You can stay andenjoy life by the river,” Wakelin said. “Theyvery consciously set out to make somethinghappen.”

In Richmond, the public space outsidecity hall is a prime example.“That’s one that I’ve talked about in the pastbecause Richmond, particularly in that area,is fairly car-oriented,” Wakelin said. “But atleast city hall has tried to create a framed,civic space for activities to happen. It’s agood start. But there needs to be a greaternetwork of those spaces that are linkedtogether, are swappable and accessible.When you step out of Richmond City Hall’skind of civic square, you’re kinda on yourown.”

That’s one reason why, in today’s world,the shopping mall has often become the de-fault town or city square where community

groups gather and celebrations take place.“Malls have become the default, but I

think it’s within our power to question theviability of how enjoyable those kinds ofspaces are,” Wakelin said. “There are somany different ways we can do better and tobe inclusive.

“The mall doors are a barrier for manypeople who live in our city — the marginal-ized who are prohibited from using thosekinds of spaces.”

Wakelin’s presentation on March 24 is thefirst of three events in the Lulu Series: Art inthe City program.

Michael Rohd, founder of the Center forPerformance and Civic Practice (Evanston,Illinois) will discuss how art can be a potenttool for public impact and collaboration onApril 21, and visual artist, Norie Sato, (Se-attle, Washington) will describe her creativeprocess developing site-specific works forpublic places on May 19.

Two former Richmond high school friendsare out to prove their business success

to date is not just about the cute factorof being able to take part in a yoga classamidst a litter of adorable, floppy-earedbunny rabbits.

Nancy Lin and Julia Zu, co-owners ofSunberry Fitness are looking to grow theirwomen-only, dance-focused workout studioin the West Cambie area with a push intothe online marketplace, rather than expandin the old-fashioned, bricks and mortar way.

Mindful of the capital and subsequentoverhead involved to go beyond their cur-rent 1,500-square-foot office and dancefloor space, the duo are planning to offertheir fitness dance classes in video form for

a multitude of platforms, from smart phonesto smart TVs.

“A lot of our clients come from outsideof Richmond because they like the type ofclasses we offer. And they have been ask-ing us when we are going to have a fitnessstudio closer to where they live,” said Zu.“But with many of those same clients beingstay-at-home moms who have very rigidschedules, we thought that giving them theability to work out where and when theywant to with online access was the way toexpand our business.”

Plans are to go live with the online versionsometime near the end of 2016.

It’s that type of innovative thinking thathelped the pair of business partners earn atop five finalist finish in last month`s SmallBusiness BC Award competition. Enteredin the best online marketing category,their placing came mostly on the strengthof a commitment to provide clients with a

monthly stream of specialevents designed to offerfresh and new experiences.

Cue the bunnies.Last November, Zu,

who studied business andfinance at the Universityof Toronto, and Lin, whotook civil engineering atMcGill University, decidedto launch a yoga workoutday with a studio filled withrabbits from Richmond’sBandaids for Bunnies groupwhich is dedicated to help-ing abandoned former petrabbits receive medical careand shelter.

The idea built on a Van-couver yoga studio’s moveto have cats prowl around itsclients and it met with greatsuccess.

When word got out aboutthe bunny-fest for a class

last November the spots at Sunberry Fitnesssold out in two days. A second session inJanuary was at capacity almost as soon asit was announced. And hopes are the thirdsession with the cotton tails on March 20— two back-to-back classes — will be aspopular.

All proceeds from the special yoga eventsare donated to Bandaids for Bunnies. Whenthe March sessions are done, it’s estimatedthe bunny rescue will have received a totalof $2,000, while Sunberry Fitness enjoyed aboatload of exposure.

In addition to that event, Zu and Linbolstered their online presence in a mea-sured way by offering discounted classesthrough the popular Groupon system. Butrather than try and flood their small studiowith new clients to the detriment of theirregulars, they capped the offer when it ap-proached the building’s capacity.

“We didn’t want to upset our currentclients by having the studio crammed withpeople. And we didn’t want to treat ourGroupon buyers like second class custom-ers,” Lin said. “That’s why we limited thenumber.”

The strategies, to date, have helped keepthe studio on target to reach enrolmentcapacity by sometime in 2017.

Before then, the online video will havekicked off to provide another revenue andexposure stream.

Zu said cost for the video classes has notbeen determined, and thoughts are initialaccess will be free with longer and moredetailed videos requiring a subscription fee.

“There are some dance workout videosalready out there, but they are not very goodquality and run for about three minutes— about one song — and that`s not longenough, ” Lin said. “Ours will be longer andmuch better quality.”

Another Richmond business, Lulu IslandWinery, was also among the Small BusinessBC Award competition`s five finalists in thebest international trade category.

As we age, so do our bloodvessels. With advancing

years, plaque accumulateswithin the arteries thatsupply the heart muscle(causing angina and heartattacks), our brains (caus-ing dementia and strokes)and our extremities (causingperipheral vascular disease).

If we are lucky enough notto die from accidents, canceror dementia by the time weare in our 80s, we are likelyto die from a heart attack orstroke.

But some of us are atmuch higher risk for prema-ture heart disease.

Most of the causes aremodifiable — meaning wecan reduce our risks through

healthy living or medications.We can’t change our age,

but we can slow down theaging process. We can’tchoose our parents, butknowing family history canempower us to be proactive— to identify and modify ourrisk factors.

When we think about car-diovascular (heart and bloodvessel) risk the first place tostart is with family history.We consider first degree rela-tives (parents and siblings),multiple generations andthe ages at which they werediagnosed.

In general, prematureheart disease is an event(such as a heart attack) in amale under 55 or a femaleunder 65. Increased familyrisk may also be indicated byheart disease in each gen-eration (e.g. your father, hismother and maternal auntsand uncles).

Some people think offamily history with a sense offatalism.

One patient, whose fatherand paternal uncles all diedin their 40s, expected to diesoon after his 40th birthday.It didn’t stop him from smok-ing.

But a strong family history

is like a visit from Christ-mas future. That might beyour fate if you don’t makechanges today. A family his-tory of heart disease shouldencourage us to be proac-tive, identify the particularrisk factors common in thefamily tree and treat themearly.

Common hereditary condi-tions that predispose us topremature atherosclerosis(narrowing of the arteries)are high blood pressure, dia-betes, high LDL cholesteroland low HDL cholesterol.

All of these conditions canbe identified early and whenappropriately treated withhealthy eating, appropriatemonitoring and medications,

we can reduceor eliminate theincreased risk.

The more detailsyou know aboutyour family his-tory the better.Some people onlyknow that theirparents had heartconditions. Heartdisease might referto several distinctconditions.

Angina refers tochest pain due tonarrowed coronaryarteries (These arethe blood vessels

that supply the muscle of theheart). If those arteries arenarrowed, the individual mayfeel chest pain or pressurewith exercise or stress, bothof which raise the heart rateand make the heart musclework harder. The pain isdue to ischemia (insufficientblood flow).

A heart attack or a myo-cardial infarction is the resultof a complete obstructionof a coronary artery. Whenno blood flows at all to anarea of the heart muscle, themuscle dies and no longerfunctions.

With a massive heart at-tack, an artery supplying alarge area of cardiac muscleis blocked and the heart canno longer pump blood tothe brain and the rest of thebody.

Heart failure refers to a sig-nificant decline in the pump-ing function of the heart.When the heart is too weakto pump blood throughoutthe body, the individual feelsshort of breath and weak.When the pump is failing,blood backs up into thelungs and extremities, caus-ing swelling of the feet andlegs and chest congestion,especially when lying down.

Valvular heart diseaserefers to abnormalities ofone or more of the valves(pulmonary, aortic, mitralor tricuspid) between thechambers of the heart.

A valve can be narrowed(e.g. aortic stenosis) or leaky(e.g. mitral regurgitation).Valvular heart disease isassociated with murmurs

(sounds heard with thestethoscope due to turbulentblood flow). Patients mayexperience chest pain orshortness of breath.

Empowering Patients series.You’ll learn if you are at

increased risk, practical tipsto reduce your risks and howto maintain your best healthin spite of heart disease.

The Ford Fiesta enters2016 as one of the most

acclaimed “supermini” carsfor its blend of high-tech fea-tures, outstanding efficiencyand fun-to-drive personality.

The subcompact seg-ment is filled with manyworthy competitors. A few ofthe strongest rivals are theHonda Fit, Toyota Yaris andKia Rio, to name some.

To combat them, the 2016Fiesta receives a few small,but key, updates - the Fiestais one of the first in Ford’srange that is available withSYNC 3.n Design

All models, save theperformance-focusedFiesta ST, are available intwo different body styles. Thepractical five-door hatchbackis the popular choice, but atraditional four-door sedan isan option if you prefer some-thing more conservative (andsome people still don’t likethe idea of a “hatchback”due to perceived securityissues).

The hatchback modelsoffer more cargo space andits proportions are pleasing

to the eye; in particular, theFiesta ST has a fantasticdesign that garners plenty ofattention.

Regardless of the bodystyle, the Fiesta is stylish anddistinctive. Sharp lines arevisible from all angles andits standout feature is thelarge grille. Note: the thickC-pillars do create a sizableblindspot.

Bright colours reflect theFiesta’s fun-loving personal-ity. New for 2016 is the SEBlack Package that comeswith unique 16-inch wheels,black trim and black mirrorhousings.

While the Fiesta is Ford’sentry-level model, that factis not immediately apparentinside the cabin. Use of hardplastic is limited and thesoft-touch dash is especiallyplush, making the car ap-pear more upscale.n Performance

The Ford Fiesta is availablewith three engines, each witha distinctly different char-acter.

The majority of buyers willlikely opt for the standard1.6-litre 4-cylinder. Thismotor is available with eithera 5-speed manual or a six-speed automatic and offersa nice blend of power andefficiency.

Those looking for greaterfuel economy can choosethe optional 1.0-litre 3-cylin-der. Using a turbocharger,it achieves better efficiencyand slightly more horsepowerand torque: 123 hp and 125lb-ft versus 120 hp and 112lb-ft on the standard engine.This engine is only availablewith a five-speed manual.

The Fiesta ST boasts 60per cent more horsepowerthan the base model, whichis shocking in such a smallvehicle with a reasonableprice tag.

The turbocharged 1.6-litreinline-four produces 197horsepower and 202 lb.-ft. of

torque. While those are notout-of-this-world numbers,the Fiesta’s light weight andthe engine’s instant responsefeel bring a true fun drivingexperience. Its six-speedmanual is quick and directtoo.

Considering the pricepoint, the standard Fiestaalready has an excellenthandling. But, the ST takes itto a whole new level.

Major upgrades to thesuspension, brakes andsteering mean that the FiestaST handles like a go-kartand torque Vectoring Controlnearly eliminates understeer.Overall, the Fiesta ST feelsvery balanced and neutral fora front-wheel drive car andhas very little body roll.

Even in base trim, the Fies-ta’s quick and direct steeringmeans it’s willing to play, butthe ride is comfortable andlittle engine and road noiseenters the cabin so long tripsare not tiresome.n Environment

The interior design is asbold as the exterior. Thesweeping dash is dominatedby the central display screenand mobile phone-inspiredbutton layout.

The base model does feel abit spartan, but as you moveup the range you are treatedto leather seats, contrastingseat piping, ambient lightingand push-button start.

Five passenger seating isadequate in both sedan andhatchback models. How-ever, it should come as nosurprise that the rear seat iscramped in the subcompactFiesta.

Entry into the back iseasier with the hatchbackbecause its openings arewider. Also, once inside, thesedan’s sloping roof slightlyreduces headroom.

There are many use-ful storage spaces foundthroughout the cabin; frontdoor pockets are a decent

size, the glovebox is largeand there are various otherhandy cubbies for smalleritems. The deep centre stor-age doubles as an armrestfor the driver and front pas-senger.

The hatchback also has amuch larger cargo capac-ity than the sedan version.To start, the wider openingeases access to the 423-li-tres in the hatch, over the362.5 litres in the sedan. Tofurther extend its advantage,the rear seats can fold 60/40to create 720 litres of maxi-mum volume.

Regardless of the versionof Fiesta you choose, it hasan excellent driving position.The seat and steering wheelhave plenty of adjustment,plus forward visibility is great.

One interesting advancedfeature is the MyKey system.This allows owners to set pa-rameters on top speed andaudio volume - an excellentidea if the Fiesta will be usedby novice drivers.n Features

Starting prices for the FordFiesta range from $15,399 to$24,999.

Standard equipmentincludes cloth seats, air con-ditioning, manual windows,power door locks, and a AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3capability.

Additional features, avail-able as options or on highertrims, include an alarm sys-tem, SiriusXM satellite radio,leather-trimmed and heatedfront seats, voice-activatedSYNC 3, and a Sony audiosystem.

Fuel efficiency numbers(L/100km) for 1.6-litremodels with the manualtransmission are 8.5 city, 6.5highway and 7.6 combined.Automatic models returnsimilar numbers with 8.7city, 6.4 highway and 7.5combined. 1.0-litre modelssee 7.5 city, 5.5 highwayand 6.6 combined.

n The dramatic lines of the 2016 Ford Fiesta are just one of the draws of this tight little packagewhere the fun-to-drive quotient is matched by its flexibility to carry people and cargo. Photo submitted

Theentire lower bowl is sold out with limited upper deck seatingavailable.Last weekend at the World Series stop in Las Vegas,

Canada advanced to the Shield final before falling 24-12 toSamoa.Hirayama has been a mainstay with the Canadian program

since making his series debut soon after graduating fromMcRoberts Secondary School when he was 18.The fly-half has developed a reputation as one of top

playmakers in the game. In 2012-13, he was third overall inWorld Series scoring with 241 points and topped all scorersat the 2013 Rugby World Sevens in Moscow.After an injured plagued 2014-15 season limited his avail-

ability, he is back up to full speed and seeing double dutywith the national 15s team as well.His first taste of competitive rugby was in his Grade 8 year

at McRoberts. He would go on to enjoy a standout careerwith the Strikers, playing for his father Gary Hirayama, alongtime teacher and coach at the school before recently re-tiring. Gary is a former Canadian international player himself.Nathan also came through the junior ranks of the Rich-

mond Rugby Club.

Theresult capped an excellent run in cup playthat saw Rain City outscore their opponents13-2 and produce three clean sheets in theprocess. Their first-ever win over Athleticsalso locked up a spot in the upcoming KeithMillar Provincial “C” Cup playdowns. Theydid it without their team MVP Trevor Koochin.“This was a great way to finish the regular

The tournament begins in mid-Octo-ber and features teams from all three RASADivisions — First, Second and Masters —in a random draw. It’s the league’s oldesttrophy with the first competition commencingin 1962.“The League Cup is always an exciting

tournament for our association,” explainedRASA president Steve Valenzuela. “Teamstend to bring an extra level of intensity to it.”The Masters Cup final saw the Old Blacks

■ Richmond Wizards celebrate their 3-0 cup final victory over Coquitlam Metro Ford Crush.

Richmond Wizards culminated theirseason in style by capturing their B.C.

Coastal Girls Soccer U18 League Cupgroup with a resounding 3-0 victory overthe Coquitlam Metro Ford Crush Feb. 28 atHugh Boyd.In a replay of the 2015 final, Hannah Coo

and Kristen Sequeira gave the hosts a 2-0halftime lead. Playing with the wind at theirbacks in the second half, in-form strikerAmez Rasoul netted the third in the final 45minutes to put the game out of reach.After opening round-robin play with a 3-3

draw against Langley and eventually losingin penalty kicks, Richmond was flawlessdefensively the rest of the way. The girls didnot allow a goal over their final six leaguecup matches, while scoring 13.The success of the team has been a

predominantly down to Mackenzie Hughes’tremendous game-saving efforts in goal.There was also excellent defensive workin front of her from Reneet Dhillon, MaiaBadyal, Lindsay Kolb, Anisha Johal, Na-tasha Sandhu, Jessica Chang, and KristalHimantog. The tireless efforts of midfield-ers Christine Fwu, Xiana Salvatore Allison,Harmen Patara, Lakiesha Harris, JadeBalogh-Callow, Steph Katz and Coo playeda huge part in the success too. ForwardsTalia Chasidof, Saarah Rasheed, Rasouland Sequeira were constantly a handful fortheir opponents.The girls are coached by Nav Badyal and

Howard Chen. Both are so proud at howthe girls closed out their youth soccer ca-reers with a flourish after wins were so hardto come by as recently as two years ago.
