Apartment evacuated after arson attack
System designed to track pets’ movements
Imagine knowing exactly whereyour beloved dog is and what heor she is doing when you’re not athome.Envisage also, if you will,
knowing if they’re taking anumber one or a number two whenthey’re out and about.Too much information?Not according to professional
dog walker Jezebel Erding,who just may be the first in thebusiness in B.C. to offer clients acomprehensive tracking service,whereby dog owners know exactlywhen and where their pets arebeing taken for a walk and itsbathroom habits.Erding, who co-owns Woofer
Walkers in Richmond withJustin de Champlain, had beenresearching the service for the lastsix months.However, she was motivated to
fast-track implementing it after thetragic circumstances surroundingthe six dogs in the care of a Deltadog walker recently.And it’s all thanks to an
American service called Pet CheckTechnology, which activates whenthe dog walker enters the client’shome and then scans, via an app
on their smartphone, a barcodeon a special fridge magnet, whichthen sends an email and text to thedog owner, alerting them that theirpet is about to be taken for a walk.When out on the walk, the same
service tracks the walker in realtime and maps out a GPS trail forthe owner to follow.“I’ve been researching this for
about six months but after whathappened with those six dogs,I felt our industry took a bit ofa battering, so I thought it wasabout time dog owners had thispeace of mind, and I love thetransparency,” said Erding.“The service is not available
in Canada and there were issues,initially, for us using it in this
country.“However, we sorted it out and
it’s now up and running. We caneven use the app to press a buttonon our phone to tell the owner iftheir dog has done a poop or apee.”While that particular part of
the service may seem a little overthe top, Erding said you’d besurprised to know how importantit is for dog owners to know theirpet’s toilet habits.“It’s something people do ask;
they need to know if their doghas been and what they’ve done.There’s even a little icon to press,depending on what the dog hasdone,” Erding added with a laugh.“And if they’re at the vets, and
the vet asks about toilet habits, allthe owner needs to do is log intothe app and it’s all recorded.”
Heat dangerWith the mercury on the rise,
the Richmond Animal ProtectionSociety (RAPS) is reminding dogowners to beware of the obviousdanger of leaving your pets in theconfines of your vehicle — evenwith the windows open a crack.It takes just five minutes for
a dog to begin overheating in acar and just ten minutes before
it starts to show signs of distressand not much longer before actualdamage to the dog’s health can beinflicted.Angela Chisholm, a kennel
assistant at RAPS, said many dogowners still seem unaware of thedangers and have little knowledgeof how a dog actually sweats.
“They only perspire throughthe pads on their paws,” saidChisholm.“They can also cool down
through panting, but it’s not thateffective in a car; there needs to beproper ventilation.
Richmond RCMP are asking the public forhelp after what appears to be an arson attackon an apartment building.
Mounties are calling for witnesses after theincident last Monday, June 16 in the 7800 blockSaba Road.
Richmond Fire Rescue called police in aftera report of a structure fire at the apartmentbuilding just after 9 p.m.
Upon investigation, it was determined therewas no fire. However, an incendiary device,understood to be a large firework, had causeda small amount of damage to an area near theelevators of the building.
Residents were temporarily evacuatedwhile investigators ensured the damage wascontained to the area around the elevator.
Richmond RCMP Serious Crime Unit arecanvassing the area for witnesses and reviewingsurveillance video footage for potentialsuspects.
Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl.
Stephanie Ashton said“it is fortunate no onewas injured when the device went off.”
Police are asking anyone with informationabout this incident to contact RichmondRCMP at [email protected] or, if wish to remainanonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).
Crash victim,84Police have revealed the driver who died in
Sunday’s head-on collision on the Steveston
Highway was an 84-year-old woman.The woman died after the car she was
driving crossed the centre line around 12:30p.m. on the highway near No. 3 Road atRoseland Gate.
Richmond RCMP’s road safety unit doesn’tbelieve alcohol or speed were factors in thecrash and is looking into a possible medicalcondition as the cause.
The driver and passenger of the other vehiclewere taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked tocontact Richmond RCMP.

“And that’s why being left in a car isso dangerous for dogs and cranking thewindows down a bit just isn’t enough. Idon’t think that many people realize that adog doesn’t sweat through its skin.”
According to Chisholm, an average dog’snormal temperature ranges between 37 and39 Celsius.
“When it rises to 40-41, the dog willbegin to suffer moderate heat stroke andabove 41 they will start to experience severeheat stroke, such as organ damage andlong-term issues,” added Chisholm.
Certain dogs are more at risk than othersof heat stroke, such as young ones, whicheither haven’t developed internal systemsyet or older ones with breathing problems.
Tips for your dog this summer:1. Walk them early morning and later in
the evening;2. Leave them at home if going for a day
out;3. Access to fresh water;4. Shade and ventilation for outside dogs;5. Wrap frozen water bottles in a towel
and place them under their beds;6. Keep them well groomed

Students at B.C. schoolsthat are on a balanced oryear-round schedule couldlose between four to sixweeks of classes if the strikeby the BCTF goes ahead asplanned on Tuesday.At Garden City
elementary in Richmond,for instance, all 255 studentsfrom kindergarten to Grade7 would normally continuein school for another twoweeks in July. This year, thatwould have meant staying inschool until July 15.Grace Cheng, co-chair
of the school’s ParentAdvisory Council, said thestudents are upset by what’shappening.“Already, we have had to
miss the district track meet,which was cancelled,” shesaid.“The school talent show
was cancelled. Right now,
we have the school principaland volunteer (PAC) parentsgiving the Grade 7 studentsan impromptu ceremony togive them closure.

Yet another controversial proposalby city planners and a developer in theRichmond Olympic Oval area threatensthe integrity of the city’s affordablehousing strategy.That’s the opinion of Richmond’s
Poverty Response Committeespokesperson DeWhalen.“The road they’re going down
is they’re creating enclaves, so therich are by the Oval and then there’severywhere else,” said Whalen.The $4.6 million cash proposal to
nix affordable housing units in theincreasingly exclusive neighbourhoodwas referred back to city staff bycouncillors on Tuesday in a bid tomaintain at least some of the 29affordable units at Intracorp’s 586 unitproject at 6888 River Rd. and 6900PearsonWay (near the Oval).In 2013, council dropped affordable
units from the River Green project.The cash is needed to fund
subsidized units at a future 129-unit, city-funded housing project on
Granville Avenue (east of No. 3 Road)designed for people with special needs.Why such a large amount is required
for a project that has been several yearsin the making cannot be disclosed.“I’m not able to go into that at
this time. The financing details havebeen in closed meetings,” said MayorMalcolm Brodie.“I don’t want the development
community to be giving us cashinstead of units,” but, “we havespecific commitments and, in termsof Granville, we need interim fundingas part of this project, and it’s a realexceptional circumstance,” said Brodie.Under the city’s affordable housing
strategy, five per cent of any 80-plus-unit development must meet affordablehousing guidelines.Whalen says these kinds of about-
faces run counter to the city’s supposedobjectives. And while she’s pleasedthe city has a strategy, she says little isdone for low-income residents on thewhole.“No new housing is being created
for low-income people. You have tohave special needs to get housing atGranville, and the Kiwanis project is
for seniors,” she said, referring to thecity’s two major affordable housingprojects that are in the works.“The affordable housing strategy
speaks to creating completeneighbourhoods. You’ve got rich andpoor, seniors and youth, and everybodyliving in one neighbourhood,” shenoted.Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt said
she thinks the city can use excesscasino revenue for the Granvilleproject.“I’m not willing to accept any
money. I want nothing but the units,”said Halsey-Brandt.Brodie said such excess funds don’t
exist. Nevertheless, with the referral,city staff have been directed to try tofind other funding sources.Both Halsey-Brandt and Brodie
acknowledged the desire to buildinclusive neighbourhoods.“I don’t want to see an exclusive
Oval precinct that’s without affordablehousing,” said Halsey-Brandt.“I’m not against the developer
making profit. He needn’t make anobscene profit, but he needs to giveback to the community,” she added.

“We’re trying to lessenthe disappointment. The
children are very upsetbecause they’re missing outon a lot of things toward theend of the school year.”
Students will also beunable to complete theKilometre Club, she said,a program that encourages
healthy living by rewardingstudents for running aroundthe school at recess andlunch.
At Garden City, studentsand staff take a three-weekbreak in winter and springand a shorter summerholiday. That was done toreduce absenteeism, Chengsaid, among the 50 per centof students who would oftenmiss classes because theywere travelling overseas tovisit their family.“If this is the last day of
school for the rest for theyear” Cheng said Friday,“we’ll be missing ... possiblyfour weeks of school if thestrike continues into July.That has had a tremendousimpact on our calendar.”Cheng has two students
in the school: one is inkindergarten, the other inGrade 5. Cheng said she isa working parent who tookthe day off to help close theschool for the summer.“What it means for me is
that like all working parents,we’re scrambling to findalternate child care in thecoming weeks,” she said.“We don’t know whether
the school year is endingtoday or whether the
negotiations will succeed.Many, many parents areupset at not knowing and nothaving a voice. It’s betweentwo sides right now - thestudents and parents andfamilies are being caught inbetween.”Parents at Garden
City, she said, love theadministrators, teachers andcustodians.“We realize it’s their right
to strike,” she said.“We’re not happy about
it but that’s the way thingsare. We’re not going to upsetthem by walking past thepicket line to tie up looseends in the school.”According to the ministry
of education, there are fiveschools in B.C. that operateon a year-round calendarand teach kindergarten-to-Grade 12 students.They are Spul’u’kwuks

There is a commonmisconception thatRichmond doesn’t have muchof an aboriginal population.But on Saturday, June 21,
the aboriginal communityin Richmond celebratestheir presence and cultureon National AboriginalDay with presentations andentertainment from 1- 4 p.m.at 7700 Minoru Gate.“There is a pretty vibrant
aboriginal community inRichmond,” said Jelica Shaw,theAboriginal Youth Centreprogram coordinator.“This year in the school
district, there are 230self-identifiedAboriginalstudents.”The day’s festivities will
open with a traditionalwelcome from elder JamesWhite, followed by wordsfrom Teresa Watt, RichmondCentre MLA, and LindaMcPhail, of Richmond CityCouncil.Richmond’s aboriginal
youth will then take the stage
to showcase their art.The OSKAYAK drum
group, Urban Heiltsukdance group, and RichmondPowwow dance group willalso make an appearanceto share their songs anddance, as well as mediapresentations made byaboriginal youth aboutPathwaysAboriginal Centre,the only space that offersexclusive programs toaboriginal youth.There will also be a craft
table where everyone iswelcome to decorate andlearn about the ceremonialtalking stick.
“The kids get excitedevery year. ‘What are wegoing to do for NationalAboriginal Day?’ they askme, because it’s one of theironly opportunities to showthe greater communitythat their culture is alive inRichmond,” said Shaw.Shaw added that, for
herself, and even the kids,although they tell peoplethey’re aboriginal, theresponse they often get is,“I didn’t know there areaboriginals in Richmond.”“This is our opportunity to
illustrate that ‘yeah, we arehere,’” said Shaw.

On Tuesday, one of theworst-kept secrets inpolitics was announced
with the federal government’sapproval of Enbridge’s NorthernGateway pipeline.The “announcement” was
a curious one for a project ofthis magnitude, delivered in apress release without fanfare orministers rushing to take credit.That’s tacit acknowledgement
that the pipeline, which chieflybenefits theAlberta oil sands, isstill hugely unpopular in BritishColumbia, where 21 ConservativeMPs currently hold seats.The decision was widely
anticipated.Also anticipated were
environmental groups and FirstNations immediately cranking upcampaigns to oppose the pipeline.Numerous court challenges,
civil disobedience and potentialpolitical retribution have allbeen promised before any heavyequipment starts work.Opponents of the pipeline
—who according to pollsmake up the majority of BritishColumbians— have repeatedlycharged that the National EnergyBoard recommendation overlookssignificant environmental issues.Even voters in Kitimat, whichwould probably gain the mostfrom the project, symbolicallyrejected the pipeline.
That’s all been noted bythe province— a significantwild card—which set out fiveconditions that must be met beforeVictoria will give the project itsblessing.The province doesn’t have a
veto, but it can create significantdifficulties for the pipeline.So while the decision may have
been announced, the political andlegal battles are just beginning.As one pundit joked
wryly, the only sure pipelineannounced Tuesday was theone transporting lawyers to thefrontlines of an issue that won’tbe resolved any time soon.
No magic solution for funding transit wish list
As far as wish lists go,the one put togetherbyMetro Vancouver’s
mayors when it comes tofuture transit and transportationimprovements is indeed animpressive one.It’s got something for everyone, pretty
much no matter where they live.Take the Seabus all the time? No problem,
they’ll increase the number of sailings. Needto travel downWest Broadway in Vancouver?Why, here’s a subway for you, at least part ofthe way.Whether you need to cross the Fraser
River, take buses anywhere or get fromA to Bin Surrey, the plan has something for you.But what it doesn’t have, and what may
be is itsAchilles heel, is any certainty when itcomes to how to pay for all this stuff.And it’sexpensive stuff: $7.5 billion.Oh, the mayors have come up with some
ideas on the funding front: bridge tolls,road “pricing” (which can be interpreted indifferent ways), property taxes and, oh yes, a
massive cash injection from“senior” governments mightfund everything.But one idea— getting
$250 million from theprovincial government’scarbon tax revenue
—was quickly shot down by the provincialtransportation minister. This was entirelypredictable and in fact mayors were signaledthat tapping into the provincial carbon tax wasa non-starter, so why it was included in therevenue grab bag is mystifying.Of course, the provincial government
will have to help fund some part of whatevertransportation infrastructure plan ultimatelycomes to fruition inMetro Vancouver butwhat that translates to remains to be seen(although, it will be funding a newMasseyBridge to the tune of about $2 billion, hardlychump change).After all, improving transportation is vital
to economic growth. The movement of goodsand services around the metro region is criticalto the local economy, and it’s in the provincial
government’s own interest to help fund thoseimprovements.Still, the mayors deserve credit for being
able to recognize which projects and needshave priority in the region. Their plan is along-term one— stretching out for 30 years— and is based on a huge spike in populationsize.Getting them to agree on a grand plan is
no small feat. For so long, parochial interestshave prevented them from seeing the need toaccommodate each other’s interests.But the mayors’plan raises two key
questions: is everything in it actually needed,and is it all affordable?On what’s needed, I suppose one can argue
all kinds of significant transportation andtransit improvements and investments will be“needed” over a long period of time.However, BurnabyMayor Derek Corrigan
seems to be the only one to grasp the keypolitical reality— voters (those who keepthese mayors in or out of office) will surelybristle at a plan that threatens to reach deepinto their wallets, and getting provincial
and federal governments to fork over hugeamounts of cash is a pipe dream.I’ve written before about the conundrum
facing the mayors: everyone wants moreservice, and everyone wants someone else— that guy over there in that car, that personon the bus— to pay for it all.People feel taxed-out, and it will be
interesting to see if the mayors aggressivelypush for their constituents to pay for tolls,road pricing and higher property taxes to payfor enormously expensive infrastructure.All this is leading to a referendumwhich
presumably will give voters the chance tosay yes or no to host of taxation and revenuemeasures.Am I the only one to think the noside will crush the yes side?Reason doesn’t enter into this debate. Most
people cannot comprehend the sheer financialenormity of what the mayors are proposing,and cling to a belief that a magical solutiondoes indeed exist, one that sees things builtwithout costing them a nickel more.Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for

The Editor,I don’t think it’s fair that the teachers have
to strike. It’s unfair for the kids and teachersthat school is over earlier.I know what you’re thinking; you’re
thinking, ‘why do I care? Kids hate school,and I’m a kid.’ But sometimes kids like theirteacher, which pretty much makes them likeschool.The Grade 7s had their graduation,
thinking that their last day in elementaryschool is the beginning of a strike!It has to be boring for teachers, just
standing there, holding some sign. I knowI’ll always remember how third grade endedas a strike. And it is the last year of being inprimary! After the strike and summer, it’sintermediate, letter grades, harder things.

The Editor,Community participation and local government!Tommy Douglas once said: ‘The best way to defend
democracy is to make it work.”This week several Richmond residents, people just like
yourself, took the first steps to building an even better citythrough what will be a transparent, democratically-electedcommunity board that seeks to realize Richmond’s fullcivic, cultural and economic potential. Our goal is to makeit work better.The Richmond Community Coalition is advocating four
simple ideas: Engagement, Participation, Outreach, andCommunity. These are words we all believe in, but there isa feeling these ideals haven’t been fully captured in recentyears. Council has worked hard to advance these principles,but equally so, Richmond is becoming more diverse andmulti-cultural. New voices, and yes I’d even say some freshfaces, are needed to move Richmond forward.It will take a renewed effort from a group of citizens
ready and willing to work week after week, year-in andyear-out, in every community across Richmond to make ourcity a little better than it is today.Only through engaging more Richmond citizens in
the civic process, and by increasing voter turnout duringelections, can we ensure our city represents a broadconsensus of values. This consensus will better reflectthe values of the wider community’s views on localgovernment issues.With this in mind, the RCC is committed to holding town
halls throughout Richmond this summer to hear from ourfellow residents with our first town hall on July 15.Building a broad-based community coalition of
people, and yes eventually candidates, is the beginningof an exciting and meaningful process for an even betterRichmond. We know our success depends on our fellowneighbors like you, so please consider joining our coalition.Visit our website www.richmondcommunitycoalition.ca
and get involved.Together, we can realize Richmond’s full potential.

The Editor,Let’s do some math.It costs Canadian taxpayers $50,000 a yearto house an inmate in our provincial prisonsystem; 65 per cent of those inmates haveminimal literacy; neighbourhoods with lowliteracy rates tend to have higher crime rates.Each inmate was once a kindergarten
student. We would all get a better bang for ourbuck if early intervention was the standard.
Premier Christy Clark continues to wilfullybury her head in the sand, ignorant of thecosts down the road of each student who slipsthrough the cracks of our under-funded publiceducation system.It is truly short-sighted. We need a good
leader who cares about all taxpayers in thisprovince. We do not need an actress.

Hand in my pocketThe Editor,I am hearing more about the mobility tax to support
TransLink. From looking at my property tax and guessing howmuch transit siphons off every litre of gasoline purchased, Ibelieve transit is one of the biggest single tax items in mosthouseholds.This, from an organization that does not answer to the
taxpayer; we have no way of directly questioning transit onhow it spends our money. Now they want to tax folks based onhow much they drive. The new system would involve buyingequipment to detect and record the passing of motor vehiclesand hiring personnel to process the fees and, of course, mailingout the bills.The other way to tax folks based on how much they use
their cars is to increase the tax on a litre of fuel. This systemis already in place and being used, so there is nothing to buy.Every penny charged goes to the tax man.The more you drive the more fuel you buy seems simple and
cost effective. Here is the problem with single source tax; thetaxpayer can easily see how much money is going to transit!By creating a different system we do not see the price of
gas go up. It is just another hand in our pocket from a differentangle. The problem is we first have to pay for the new high-tech system to collect the tax. In the long run, we will paymore. I do not want to see the price of fuel go up. I do want tosee transit accountable for the money they take from us. I donot want to pay for the wool that is being pulled over my eyes!

“It’s the choice between the devil and thedeep sea.”
This is how Shashi Assanand, executive directorat Vancouver and Lower Mainland MulticulturalFamily Support Services, simplifies the conundrumfaced by domestically abused women who haverecently immigrated to Canada.
Domestic violence comes in many forms, includingfinancial, sexual, physical, emotional, and spiritualabuse. It crosses all cultures and societies and is,by and large, typified by male-on-female abuse;national statistics from 2011 show that of Canada’s89 police-reported spousal homicides that year, 85per cent of the victims were women; on average,every six days in our nation, a woman is killed byher spouse.
These statistics took on a human face in Richmondrecently when Jian Hua “James” Wu was allegedto have killed his wife in their apartment onGranville Avenue. To be clear, Wu has not beentried in court, but the incident came amidst a flurryof violent domestic abuse incidents across theprovince that sparked protests from women’s rightsgroups.
Dealing with these problems takes a collectiveeffort by government and non-profit agencies. Inrecent years, the federal government claims tohave increased funding for settlement programs,which aim to help integrate immigrants into thefabric of Canadian society. But the jury is still outon whether or not the government’s approach, aswell as its immigration laws, is working.
While Statistics Canada does not track abusecases along ethnic lines, Assanand is backed byan abundance of research that suggests immigrantwomen — once they move to Canada — arenot only more vulnerable to becoming victims ofdomestic abuse, they have historically not receivedculturally-appropriate services to allow them toswim free of their abusers.
“When domestic abuse is mentioned (in themedia), culture becomes the factor rather thandomestic violence. Domestic violence is aboutpower and control and power and control is thesame across all cultures; except, the way an Indianor Chinese or Vietnamese woman responds to
support is very different, because that’s based onher culture and values,” explained Assanand.
About 65 per cent of Richmond’s populationspeaks an Asian language at home and much ofAssanand’s work in the city focuses on workingwith women from these cultures, where there’sa greater emphasis on interdependence withinfamilies.
“If a collective culture works, there’s nothinglike it. There’s so much support, no babysittingrequired!” quipped Assanand, after noting howfamilies in collective cultures typically live in multi-generational homes (a woman will join the man’sfamily home to live with his parents).But when families break up to come to Canada,things can begin to unravel, leading to stress
and ultimately violence, she says. And it’s oftenthe woman who is left without the knowledge tonavigate through the help available to them.
One of the biggest contributors to the changingfamily dynamic as immigrants face integrationinto Canada’s individualistic culture is that womenbecome breadwinners out of necessity.
“It gives them that earning power, andindependence, individuality and decision makingability because they are now earning. So I thinkwhat happens is, the growth happens in a womanand sometimes a male — and the family — maybe able to incorporate her growth, but sometimesthey can’t. If they can’t, it can result in a domesticviolence situation,” said Assanand. In cases likethese, it is typically also a result of the man not
being able to provide any financial stability to hisfamily. Assanand noted one case in her 30-yearcareer as a support worker where a man, who wastrained in finance, could not get a job. His wife gotone as a bank teller. He ended up beating her.
Assanand explains that in a collective culture theman is the asset and the dowry system is still verymuch a factor in her own Indian culture. Anotherfactor is housework, which adds stress to therelationships. Assanand says the role reversal thatmen can feel is very “disheartening” for them.
“The frustration that builds up because of the lackof all of the support, and the racism — those aredifficult issues to deal with. So, as in our (Indian)culture, the woman is the property, and he cantake it out on her. And, unfortunately, women oftenthink it’s his right to do so,” explained Assanand.
Over at the Chinese Mental Wellness Associationof Canada on Minoru Boulevard, caseworkers areseeing similar problems and deal with any ethnicgroup that needs help.
Executive director Ahlay Chin, a psychotherapist,says in Chinese culture, “face” is an importantbarrier that needs to be broken when peoplecome to Canada, especially when losing supportnetworks typically found in their own cultures.
“When someone is new to the country, and they’reso helpless and have mental problems, where dothey get help? They find asking for help is a signof weakness. Normally, they would resolve theproblems within ... their family, but here, they’re sohelpless, they’ve nowhere to go,” said Chin.
She added, immigrants also struggle with losingstatus coming to Canada. While some may havewealth coming here, they lose social and culturalconnections that give life meaning. For instance,men can feel lonely, as monogamous relationshipsaren’t as much the norm in Asia as they are here;they also underestimate missing their friends.

Norman Sung, past-president of the RichmondChinese Community Society, notes that thesefactors are critical to understanding the briefstories we observe in the mainstream media.
“We only see the consequences of thesehomicides. But we need to understand thebackground so we can try to avoid thesesituations,” said Sung.
He says he sees many broken families in theChinese immigrant community, either as aresult of the immigration system, or the couple’sinability to integrate. Typically, for instance, Sung says a husbandwill come to Canada to seek work and his family will follow. In somecases, the husband wants to go back to his native country but thewife wants to stay.
“So very often we see a breakdown in marriages because of this,”said Sung.
Chin, Sung and CMWAC president, Michael Cayetano, all agreeeducating new immigrants, even before they land in Canada is key.
“Even the closeness of the family is tempered here. There aredifferent relationships. Sure, it’s still a close-knit family, but do theyeat together? Do they go to church together? Do they participate inthe schooling together? Often that disappears when they come toCanada,” said Cayetano.
Canada’s settlement programs aim to stem the unrealisticexpectations. According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada,
funding for such programs has tripled to $600million nationwide since 2006. British Columbiaaccounts for one-sixth of that funding.
The largest settlement program in Richmond isrun by S.U.C.C.E.S.S. The program covers manyissues like accessing health care, counseling,legal services, English language classes,housing and so on. Also, part of the settlementprogram involves educating would-beimmigrants overseas about expectations, beforethey land in Canada.
“Our role is to ensure the public is aware of what services areavailable,” said S.U.C.C.E.S.S. CEO Queenie Choo.
The non-profit group receives tens of millions of dollars from federalgrants each year and is the first line of defense against preventingdomestic problems in the immigrant community. Choo says thebiggest factor is acquiring language skills.
“It takes a lot of effort not only from the service provider but also theindividual. The individual needs to be motivated to learn our cultureand integrate,” said Choo.
Assanand agrees, noting that Canada must strike a balance betweenrespecting people’s cultural values while protecting basic, individualhuman rights. And while it’s a good thing police can intervene incases of domestic violence, Assanand said Canada’s immigrationprocess is often stacked against women facing domestic violence.
For instance, two years ago, Citizenship and Immigration Canadamandated sponsored spouses (typically women) must cohabitate forat least two years before they gain landed immigrant status. If theyleave the relationship, they need to leave the country. Assanand saysthis policy prevents abused women from leaving the home — anissue that’s difficult for any woman, let alone an immigrant. Manywomen’s advocacy groups believe the 134 proven cases of marriagefraud in 2012 don’t justify the potential harm against women.
On April 1, the federal government took back control of settlementprogram funding from the provinces with an aim to streamlineresources. In Richmond, Chimo Community Services, which runsNova Transition House for women fleeing abuse, lost its $600,000settlement contract (S.U.C.C.E.S.S. was granted a similar amountthereafter), effectively chopping one quarter of its overall funding.The organization now focuses solely on family violence and crisisintervention.
CHIMO’s executive director, Mark Miller, said it could have an impact.“We aren’t able to connect with the broader part of the communitynow,” said Miller.
Although, Assanand argues that streamlined settlement programs (as
opposed to piece meal ones operated out of various organizations)could prove to be better. Assanand’s group works hand in hand withwomen’s transition houses like Nova House. She was instrumentalin getting the province to make each transition house have access tosupport workers in multiple languages.
“Advocates need to speak the language and understand the culturaldifferences. If you continue to provide service in English and/or froma western point of view, the problem can persists,” she said.

The concept of thecorporate grille, asfar as I can make
out, is that it should allowpassers-by to immediatelyknow what brand you’redriving, no matter whethersedan or SUV. Thus,we have BMW’s ever-broadening twin-kidneygrilles, propeller-sizedMercedes-Benz three-pointed stars, and now this.This is what Lexus refers
to as their spindle-grille, awasp-waisted design thatadorns everything from theIS sedan up to the popularRX-series crossover. Itspurpose appears to befrightening small children.Yikes! That’s quite an
angry looking mug for sucha former laid-back cruiser.Clearly, Lexus is anxious
to inject some personalityinto their somewhat-vanillapeople hauler. It looks like itmight actually bite you.But on the other hand,
the RX was always theprescription for pillowysoftness – has the additionof the F-Sport designationtransformed it into a combatcushion?Let’s find out.
Design:Aside from the Predator/
Cylon/Darth-Vader front-end, the rest of the RX350remains relatively pleasingin its anonymity. TheF-Sport designation adds19” gunmetal alloys, LEDstrip-lighting up front, someminor sporty-looking trimand, of course, badges.The RX line is designed
to appeal to as broad a rangeas possible, and clearlysucceeds. Fully half of allLexuses (Lexii?) sold inCanada are RX crossovers,either in hybrid trim as the450h, or V6 , as here.The styling may be
conservative, but it works,and the larger wheels pairnicely with the sheet metal.Strong accent lines runalong the belt-line, and thefolded-paper crispness ofsome of the angles is veryJapanese. While it might notlook radically different fromsomething like a Venza inprofile, it’s a pretty good-looking rig.It should be noted that
this shape has been withLexus for some time – it’sa face lifted version of themodel that debuted in 2008– but it has aged nicely.There’s a reason the Lexusbrand retains their value,and any subsequent model
that will replace this car inthe near future is unlikely toget wild and crazy curves.
Environment:Regrettably, the inside
of the RX350 hasn’t agedquite as nicely as theexterior. When comparedto brand-new offerings likeBMW’s redesigned X5 orAcura’s fresh MDX, the RXcan be a little dated.For instance, there is
more hard plastic thanyou find in competitors,although Lexus does apretty good job of hidingmost of it out of sight. Theforward-mounted gatedshifter is not a very modern-looking device – it’s a bitold-school in here.However, there are a few
things the RX350 does verywell. First, it’s extremelyeasy to get in and out of,hitting the Goldilocksdriving position even for
shorter drivers.Next, the infotainment
system may not have theflash of next-gen systemsfound elsewhere, but it’svery simple to use. Lexus’strack-ball based interfacesystem takes some time tofeel natural, but the menuand sub-menu layout areeasy enough to navigate.You might never need torefer to the manual.It’s also, despite the
declared sporting intent, avery comfortable vehicle.The seats are great up front,and while the rear-seatsaren’t perfect for passengerswith longer legs – legroomis fine, but they’re mounteda bit low – there’s plenty ofspace for kids to spread out.
Performance:But then, what minivan
features sport-tunedsuspension and paddle-shifters? Along with thelower-profile tires andsuspension tweaks, the F-Sport designation also givesthe RX350 a unique eight-speed transmission.However, somewhat
disappointingly, there isn’tany more power on tap.The engine, a silky-
smooth 3.5LV6, still pumpsout 270hp and 248lb/ft oftorque.
Lexus injects personality into laid-back RX linetoday’sdrive

Do you haveneighbourswho are
seniors? Are theyunapproachable andcrotchety?Forgive us if we seem that way. We are hiding
the fear that we may need help in case we are foundout; that the people in charge might make changesthat we don’t want.The fact is, we just want to stay as long as we
can in our own homes. However, putting on a braveface will not help us reach that high shelf or the lowcupboards.As for those jars that have the lid screwed on so
tightly that even I, with four gadgets to open thesepesky jars, still can’t do it. (Although, I have founda glove with an abrasive palm that works everytime, and helps to cut down on the swearing.)A good neighbour is worth their weight in gold at
times like these. We don’t want you to look after us.We just want to know that you will be there if weneed a little help.My friend fell at three o’clock in the morning,
once. She pressed her Medic Alert button. Theambulance was called, as was the contact personwho was registered as having a key to let themedics into the suite.Would you take the responsibility of answering
a call like that — perhaps in the night? Youmight not be next-of-kin, but next-of-kin may livean hour’s drive away. Will you be one of theseneighbours who would offer to help? It is such arelief to know that help is near if you waken to findyour face buried in the carpet in the wee hours. Ican assure you, it’s not funny!If you have missed your neighbour lately,
perhaps you could check on him, or her, with theexcuse that you are going grocery shopping andis there anything that they need? That way, theywon’t accuse you of being nosey as you check theirsituation, especially if they don’t seem to havefamily support.When we are out of our comfort zone, we
sometimes lack confidence and don’t like to askfor help. We feel at a disadvantage and hate that wehave slowed down and get in other people’s way.We don’t mean to be like that. It is one of life’s
cruelties.If your neighbour needs more help and isn’t sure
what to do, perhaps because of a language barrier,the Seniors Directory for 2013/14 has many sourcesof help and in many languages.The number for one program run by the United
Way, Better at Home, is 604-279-7021. Payment isbased on income.Some help may be free on medical grounds. A
phone call will start the ball rolling. Could you helpa senior make that call? Someone will come to thehome to assess what help is needed and your jobwill be done. You will feel satisfied for being such agood neighbour! It is a lovely feeling.Have I given you food for thought? Thank you
for reading this little plea for your understanding ofsome of the challenges of aging.Olive McDonald is a senior living in Steveston.
A neighbourlycall may beall it takes

In Homer’sIliad, Odysseuscommands his
crew to tie him to hisship’s mast so that hecan hear the beautifulbut tempting song ofthe Sirens.
With their ears covered, the crewhas been ordered to ignore Odysseus’demands when he is under the influenceof the Sirens.
In psychiatry, a patient with bipolardisorder may request an Odysseuscontract whereby he agrees to beadmitted if he is manic and unable tomake appropriate decisions for himself.In other words, he tells his family anddoctor, “Don’t do as I say when I am notof sound mind”.
I wonder if Homer was warning usof the pitfalls of lust and love. Perhapsyoung people should not be allowedto marry when they are madly in love.Before they sign their lives away at theend of the wedding ceremony, theyshould at least produce a doctor’s notecertifying that they are capable ofmaking rational decisions.
Joseph Goldstein has calledinfatuation and desire the near enemy oflove, and by love, I mean unconditionallove – agape, metta, lovingkindness or
brotherly love. Theformer is obsessiveand possessive. Itseeks to take, tohold and control.Unconditional love isgiving, forgiving and
letting go.Pleasure and the satisfaction
of our material wants are worldlycounterfeits of true happiness. Unlikeenduring happiness, they soon giveway to emptiness and disappointment.So, too, do infatuation and desire– counterfeits of real love – give way todisappointment, disillusionment and illwill.
It’s okay to enjoy a delicious meal, acup of coffee and a relaxing massage,but don’t expect pleasure alone to giveyou a complete and meaningful life.It’s okay to fall in love, as we all do,but that alone is not enough to sustainmeaningful relationships over a lifetime.
Romantic love is a lens that creates adistorted image of another, magnifyingpositive qualities and blurring therough edges that will later prickle us.Unconditional love allows you to seeand accept the whole, appreciate beautyand genuinely want the best for theother.
My children have taught me how
to love unconditionally. Becoming afather and holding in my arms a helplessand beautiful child who is completelydependent on parental care has helpedme grow in love.
As each of my children grow, stumble,fall and succeed, the most importantthing that I can teach them is that Isee the best in them and love themcompletely just as they are.
Sometimes as parents, our childrenmay feel that our love is dependent ontheir innate qualities or their behaviour,and being human, egos can get in theway and we may love imperfectly. But inthe end, the wellbeing of our childrentakes precedence over our own.
Real happiness and the meaning inour lives come from our relationships.The purpose of our lives is to acceptlove and learn to love more fully. We aregiven a lifetime.
My parents surrounded their threechildren with love. They saw the best inus and this inspired us to be our best,and their circle of concern extended farbeyond our family.
In your life, what gifts great or smallhave you received that you cannot fullygive back? How are you paying thisforward?
Dr. Davidicus Wong is a familyphysician at PrimeCare Medical.
What the world needs nowHEALTH
Leonardo daVinci is creditedwith saying,
“Simplicity isthe ultimatesophistication.” Idon’t know if he wasreferring to art, architecture, literature,cuisine, or how to make people laugh, butit is definitely true for counselling.
I work with children and adolescents,so I always strive to explain a complexpsychological principle in a way that isunderstandable to all ages and learningabilities. It’s not always easy to whittledown a theory about human behaviorinto a one-liner, but I try. Albert Einsteinsaid, “If you can’t explain it to a six yearold, you don’t understand it yourself.”
Young people appreciate the simplicity,adults don’t always. Adults have atendency to complicate things more thannecessary and sometimes when I sharethe simple solution to a difficult problem,they look at me with an ‘I paid you howmuch an hour to tell me that?’ expression.
Okay, so let me simplify thecounselling process.
All problems that bring people intocounselling fall under four main areas:emotional, cognitive, behavioural, and
physiological. My goalis to determine whatthe core problem isand then come up withpossible solutions. Wealways try the easiestsolution first and only
if that doesn’t work do we move to thenext level.
Working on the correct problem isimperative. It’s similar to what a buildingcontractor does. If you have a leak aroundyour living room window that is causingblack mold in the floors, a contractorcan repair the damage. But if the coreproblem is a tiny hole in your roof, allthose fixes are a waste of time.
I once worked with a client whowas your classic rebellious teenager— flunking school, risk-taking, defiance,substance abuse.
There were so many emotional andbehavioural problems it was difficult toknow what to focus on first. While talkingto him, I noticed that he was incrediblybright and also that he couldn’t readcertain things.
Long story short, he needed glasses. Hewas acting out because he was frustratedwith feeling not good enough. Once hegot glasses, his grades turned around
and all of the other angry frustratedbehaviours faded away.
Sure, he still needed some therapy toaddress his esteem issues that resultedfrom thinking he was stupid all thoseyears, but getting glasses was ultimatelythe simplest of fixes.
Sometimes it is a complicated journeyof trial and error to figure out what thecore problem is, especially if there is morethan one contributing problem, or if theclients have learning disabilities that makeit difficult for them to process or expresstheir thoughts and feelings. However,once the core problem is discovered, thefix is always simple.
But simple doesn’t mean easy. In fact,the simplist solution, yet hardest one toexecute, is often accepting there is nosolution.
Understanding that some situationsand people can’t be changed is simple, butbeing able to separate from their effect onyou, let go, and move on is challengingto do.
In summary, keep it simple; don’tget distracted by the wrong problemsand inadvertently leave the core issueunaddressed.

For the third time in eight years, Seafair Minor Hockey hasbeen recognized with a major award from the Pacific CoastAmateur Hockey Association.
Seafair president and 13-year volunteer Nigel Shacklesreceived the Don Ackert Award as Amateur Hockey Executiveof the Year. The presentation was made during the recentPCAHA AGM.
“Nigel works so hard, and cares so much - you couldn’t finda more deserving recipient,” said longtime Seafair executiveKen Hamaguchi. “Over the years, Seafair has developed areputation for having one of the finest Hockey 1-4 programsaround. Much of the success can be traced back to the timeand energy put in by Nigel in building the program.”
Shackles wasn’t the only Seafair executive to be honoured.Dennis Sato was presented the Meritorious Service Awardfor those who have made significant contributions to minorhockey for at least the past five years.
The association also announced a three-year agreementwith Derek Popke and the Vancouver Hockey School asSeafair’s skills development provider — commencing with the2015-16 season.
Popke who will once again be working with the NHLToronto Maple Leafs at their training camp, is pleased with his
new deal.“I would like to thank the executive, coaches, and
membership of SMHA for this opportunity,” said Popke.“SMHA has gained the reputation for outstanding player andcoach development and I look forward to building on thesesuccesses.”
Popke has already had a hand in Seafair’s playerdevelopment over the past few seasons.
“I am very happy to see that we are continuing ourrelationship with Derek,” said Shackles. “On and off the icehe has been a contributor to our success and I’m very glad tosee that the relationship we have with Derek and VancouverHockey School will continue into the future.”
Another interesting item from the PCAHA AGM, is thedecline in minor hockey registration.
Whereas many PCAHA member associations continueto experience a drop in numbers, Seafair’s numbers keepgrowing.
It was the only association in the PCAHA to have increasesin enrolment for the past seven years. Shackles attributesthis growth to the association’s efforts in keeping registrationand team costs down while at the same time offering qualityprogramming for all ages.
Seafair Minor Hockey president Nigel Shackles was namedexecutive of the year at the Pacific Coast Amateur HockeyAssociation’s recent Annual General Meeting.
