IKEA, union lock into mediation
The war between IKEA in Richmondand unionized workers is showing somesigns of abating after store bosses andTeamsters Local 213 representatives metwith a mediator on Saturday.
It’s not clear how positive those talkswere or how much longer the strike will goon.
Workers started job action two monthsago to protest benefits cuts and the re-intro-duction of a two-tier wage system.
The mediation was overshadowed slight-ly, however, of news that some workersamong the 350-strong membership — whochose to return to work — have either beenfined or been expelled from the union.
“Yes, that happened because theycrossed the picket line,” said union spokes-person Anita Dawson.
“There’s a whole process the union goesthrough and that was the decided outcomefor those employees. They had opportuni-ties to address the union.”
Dawson added these instances wouldn’timpact the bargaining process. “For thelarge part, these employees crossed atthe beginning though. It’s not an ongoingprocess. It’s not part of our bargaining anddoesn’t affect it.”
Returning workers fined, expelled by Teamsters as two-month strike rumbles

Heat to simmer downHeat wave is a term that Richmondites
only hear once a year, twice if we’re lucky.And although the temperatures in the
foreseeable future aren’t yet record-break-ing, the city and the Lower Mainland isenjoying a hotter and earlier sum-mer than usual, said EnvironmentCanada meteorologist MattMacDonald.
“We haven’t had any rain in 19days,” sad MacDonald.
“Typically, once we get intoJuly, in the southwest of B.C., wehave this big ridge of high pres-sure from California that shifts to the northto give these dry prolonged summers thatwe all long for.”
The “shift” happened ahead of schedule,added MacDonald, keeping the cool, show-ery patterns from Alaska at bay.
“It’s not totally abnormal. The record fora dry spell was back in ’86 when we had 56
days without any rain.”According to Environment Canada
historical data, the highest temperatureever recorded at YVR on July 16 was 29.4degrees celsius in 1941.
MacDonald said the high pressure in thearea has already reached its full strengthand shouldn’t be persisting for several days,
which is what is needed to set anew record.
Forecast for the remainder ofthe week is mainly sunny withhighs in the low to mid-20s.
Meanwhile, the City ofRichmond is reminding people ofthe dangers that can come with adry spell.
Spokesperson Ted Townsend said theyare quite concerned about backyard safetyin light of all the dry foliage and combus-tibles many people have on their properties.
“We had a hedge fire between a coupleof houses that caused damage to both thehouse where the hedge was located, andsome neighbouring houses,” he said.

1,801 guns secured in June amnestyApproximately 30,700 rounds of ammunition were turned in
Deadly weapons of all kinds wereon show in Richmond on Friday asMounties displayed the results of amonth-long gun amnesty.
Some 1,801 firearms, 155 otherweapons and approximately 30,700rounds of ammunition were turned infor destruction.
The goal of the program, whichran through June, was to encourageBritish Columbians to safely disposeof unwanted weapons that mightotherwise fall into the hands of crimi-nals, children or others, potentiallyleading to tragic consequences.
People were encouraged to sur-render weapons — ranging fromhigh-powered firearms and crossbowsto pellet and replica guns — as wellas ammunition, by calling their localpolice to attend, secure and removethe items.
“Regardless of whether a weapon’shistory is distinguished, shady or sim-ply unknown, gun amnesty means itsfuture is secure,” said attorney gen-eral and Minister of Justice SuzanneAnton. “Ultimately, all of these weap-ons are destroyed. They’re not at riskof being found in a drawer by a child,or of ending up on the street after a
break-in.”The latest results show the sus-
tained value of periodic gun amnesty
programs.Back-to-back programs in 1997
and 1998 yielded an average of
2,500 firearms and 100,000 roundsof ammunition. In 2006, the numberof firearms rose to more than 3,200,plus another 725 unwanted weapons,while the number of rounds was rela-tively stable at 96,500.
As with past campaigns, someinteresting items were turned in,including:! 1,026 rifles, 394 handguns and 380shotguns;! A machine gun received byKelowna RCMP;! Historical firearms, including aLee-Enfield .303 rifle from WorldWar II;! Bayonets from the 1800s, turned into Ridge Meadows RCMP;! A well-publicized military missilemore than six feet long, turned inby the relative of an individual whoreportedly kept it as a souvenir of atour of duty overseas.
Craig Callens, commanding offi-cer of the RCMP in B.C., said themisuse of firearms can take manyforms. “Whether it involves a child’scuriosity, a domestic incident, a theftor some other turn of events, theimpact is too often instantaneous andtragic.”

Unique camp helps kids heal emotionally, have fun
In the months after thehouse fire, four-year-oldBrandon Laxa would bereluctant to talk about theincident or about the burnsthat crawled up his right andleft forearms.
Instead, teachers recom-mended art therapy.
“I don’t think he canremember doing them now,”said his mother TheresaLaxa, turning to her 13-year-old son. “They were mostlydrawings of burning build-ings or of princesses beingsaved.”
It wasn’t until after hisfirst trip to Burn Camp— funded by the BCProfessional Fire Fighters’Burn Fund — at the ageof six that Brandon startedopening up.
At camp, burn survivorsfrom across B.C., ages six to18, get away for a week andparticipate in activities suchas swimming, kayaking, skitnight and arts and crafts.
Last Sunday morning, thecampers enjoyed the usualpancake breakfast send-offbefore heading to CampLatona on Gambier Islanduntil Friday afternoon.
“We don’t talk about
burns at camp, except maybefor a few times at night,” saidBrandon when he talked to
the News last Friday. “We’renot there to wallow. We canforget about everything and
just have fun.”He was mostly looking
forward to trading the year’sstories with the friends he’sbeen spending the week withfor the past seven years.
“We don’t really see eachother much during the year,”said Brandon, who just fin-ished Grade 8 at McRobertssecondary. “So I’m excitedto see them. It’s pretty muchthe same group, but there arenew kids every year.”
Since 1994, close to 800children have attended BurnCamp. Kids at the camp learnhow to heal from their emo-tional trauma. Counsellors

Reshuffle nets Findlay senior cabinet role
The union conducted ahearing at the Union Hall,where 27 workers wereexpelled for returning towork. Since then, five addi-tional workers have beenfined with the threat ofexpulsion, said MadeleineLowenborg-Frick, publicrelations manager at IKEA.
Currently, employeesreceive 80 per cent companypaid benefits if they work 15to 19 hours per week. Oncethey work 20 hours per week,
they are eligible to receivefull benefits for themselvesand their families.
IKEA is proposing toincrease the hours from 15to 19 per week, to 15 to 23hours per week. Only at 24hours will employees receivefull benefits for themselvesand their families.
“When dealing with alargely part-time workforce,those four hours are signifi-cant,” said Dawson. “Theyare taking away benefits byincreasing the amount of
hours required. It’s also notthe same benefit package.”
Of 350 employees, 70are full-time, according toDawson. Forty of the remain-ing employees are guaranteed30 hours per week, whichDawson said IKEA wants toreduce to 35 employees.
Besides changes to ben-efit eligibility, the latestoffer by IKEA included anincrease in wage rangingfrom $10.79 to $24.03, upfrom $10.25 to $23.67, saidLowenborg-Frick.
Hearing: 27 workers expelledContinued from page 1

“I look forward to continuing thework of our government to create jobs,stability and long-term growth for all

her tenure there as associate minister.Findlay’s new responsibilities will
include overseeing the Canada RevenueAgency, which administers tax laws forthe government and for most provincesand territories, as well as various socialand economic benefit and incentive pro-grams delivered through the tax system.
“It’s a very large department and, ofcourse, spread out across the country,”she said.
“It’s not just about collecting taxes,it’s about tax policies and we’ve broughtin a lot of tax credits for families andthose kinds of issues I’ll be workingclosely with the minister of finance.”
Asked if she was surprised by herrise in the ranks in just her first term inOttawa, Findlay noted the prime minis-ter might be pleased with her communi-cations and other skills that she’s shown,as well as her background in law.

Are Richmond taxpayers willing to ponyup as much as $329,000 to help monitor agri-cultural land and prevent illegal dumping?
Or are things just fine as they are?That’s what the city is hoping to find out
for its soil removal and fill deposit regulationbylaw, which could result in hiring two orthree new bylaw officers to make sure localagricultural land is protected.
“We’re asking the public and stakehold-ers for feedback if we are going to makeamendments to that (bylaw) or not,” saidcity spokesperson Kim Decker, adding thatcurrently Richmond does not have a bylawofficer specifically tasked with assistingAgricultural Land Commission staff.
“It’s done through our bylaws departmentas (and when) people are available to do it,”Decker said.
And that has left the city not being ableto “be on top of things as much as we wouldlike,” Decker said.
The cost of hiring two new staff memberswould be $239,000 annually. Bumping thatup to three would cost $329,000.
If extra staff is added, the city would beable to implement preventative patrolling,perform field inspections and develop anadvanced soil watch program.
In addition, the public’s input will besought on introducing incremental permitfees and fines for violations of the bylaw.
“Right now, all we can do is prosecuteoffenders in the provincial court,” Deckersaid, adding it can be a lengthy and expensiveprocess.
To get input from the public, the cityhas scheduled an open house on July 23 atRichmond City Hall. Online feedback canbe made at www.LetsTalkRichmond.ca.Deadline for submissions is July 29.

B.C.’s police watchdog has wrapped upits investigation into an officer-involvedshooting that left 48-year-old Richmondresident Mehrdad Bayrami dead aftera standoff outside a casino in NewWestminster in November.
Independent Investigations Officechief civilian director Richard Rosenthalhas sent a report to the Crown but, unlikethe RCMP, the IIO does not make recom-mendations for charges.
Information contained in the reporthas not been made public. The criminaljustice branch will now decide whetherthere is evidence to consider charges.
The incident began around 6 a.m. onNov. 8 outside the Starlight Casino whenthere were reports of shots being fired.
The officers cordoned off the area andthe 24-hour casino was locked down as asafety precaution.
The IIO says officers then spent manyhours trying to talk to Bayrami, but hewould not comply.
At around 10:45 a.m., one of the offi-cers shot Bayrami in the abdomen andhe was transported to Royal Columbianhospital.
The Richmond resident died in hospi-tal from his injuries.
IIO spokesperson Owen Court couldnot confirm whether Bayrami had a gun,but said no one else was injured.
Police do not believe the man was atthe casino before the standoff began andno hostages were taken in the incident.
The incident caused major trafficdelays in the area and the QueensboroughBridge was shut down for several hours.

The Steveston “skyline” could have aslightly different look if a City of Richmondproposal gets the green light.
Changes to building height and density inthe village core were due to be presented tocity council’s planning committee Tuesdayafternoon.
The proposal was based, in part, on publicconsultation, including 83 completed surveys
in April and May.According to the Steveston Village
Conservation Strategy, one third of all build-ings on Moncton Street are allowed to bethree stories and have a floor area ratio 1.6times the lot area.
The proposal would reduce the maximumbuilding height to two stories and reduce themaximum density to 1.2, with exceptionsgranted on a case-by-case basis.
A similar scenario is recommended forBayview Street — the north side of a build-
ing can remain at the current three stories,but the south half is restricted to two storieswith a portion of that allowed to reach twoand a half stories within the roof area.
In addition to building revisions, moreparking would be made available as well.
The conservation strategy allows 33 percent less residential and commercial parkingthan stated in the Richmond Zoning Bylawto encourage heritage conservation in the vil-lage.
This number would be changed to 13 per
cent, resulting in 1.3 parking spaces requiredper dwelling, up from one, to address pub-lic concerns about the growing demand forspaces due to new developments.

EDITORIAL OPINION
More than 1,800 guns were surrendered to policerecently as part of a province-wide gun amnesty.
Among them were pistols, rifles, shotguns, semi-automatic weapons and more than 30,000 rounds of ammuni-tion.
In Abbotsford, one resident called in to surrender a missile.Police apparently didn’t find the homeowner’s comment — “Idon’t think it’s live” — particularly reassuring.
In a previous gun amnesty, one Lower Mainland familyeven turned in a rocket launcher.
For the most part, the guns turned in just tend to be old,and unused. They aren’t weapons favoured by gangsters orcriminals.
But getting them out of people’s attics, closets and storagespaces is still a commendable exercise.
An old Chekov rule of drama said a playwright shouldn’tput a gun in Scene One unless it was going to be fired by theend of the play. And all too often, life has imitated art.
Every year there are tragic cases in Canada of kids whoget access to their family’s legal guns and manage to shooteither themselves or other children.
People often do stupid things when they are drunk orangry. Having guns in the vicinity just ups the ante on that.
In other cases, circumstances simply change. Someonewho legally acquired a gun 20 years ago when they arehealthy can go on to suffer dementia or mental illness.
Simply put, fewer guns out there means fewer gun acci-dents.
The gun amnesty program allows us to breathe just a littlebit easier.

The summer legislativesession is now half over, soit’s time for some observa-tions and thoughts aboutwhat we’ve seen so far inthe House:
! The multitude of newfaces around the legislaturehas changed the atmospherefor the better. There aremore than 30 newbies, andperhaps because they’vehad to spend so much timetrying not to get lost in themaze of corridors, theyhaven’t had time to descendto the level of bitter parti-sanship that characterizedthe place the past few years.
! The new govern-ment cabinet, which has anumber of rookies, has sofar performed fairly well.Education Minister PeterFassbender has navigatedthe usually rocky shoalsof the government’s rela-tionship with the B.C.Teachers Federation fairlywell, and TransportationMinister Todd Stone hasably deflected any criti-cism hurled at him by theOpposition. Veteran MLABill Bennett is new to theenergy portfolio and has hishands full with B.C. Hydro,but acknowledges thereare problems at the CrownCorporation those needs tobe dealt with and not sweptunder the carpet.
One newcomer,Attorney-General SuzanneAnton, has had a bit of ashaky start, but she’ll havetime to grow into her role.New Health Minister TerryLake has already had todeal with controversy, buthas weathered things well.
! The NDP Oppositionhas yet to find its sea legsin the House. A number ofveteran MLAs, no doubtdevastated by the prospectsof another four long yearsin Opposition, appear tohave checked out, at leastfor now. The only twomembers who seem to havetheir heads fully in the gameright now are John Horganand Mike Farnworth, andthat may be because bothmay once again find them-selves in a party leadershiprace should Adrian Dix stepdown as leader.
! A whole bunch ofissues that dominated ques-tion period and much of thepolitical debate before theelection are now mostly offthe table. Remember theNDP’s constant demand foran inquiry into the sale ofB.C. Rail? Good-bye! Theattacks on Premier ChristyClark for constantly cam-paigning? No more. Eventhe ethnic memo furor haslots its edge.
! Speaking of thepremier, she hasn’t beenaround the legislaturemuch as she spent severalweeks campaigning in theWestside-Kelowna by-elec-tion, so she hasn’t had muchof a physical presence.
But there’s no doubt whois in charge, as her by-elec-
tion win cemented her holdon her party.
! B.C.’s first-ever GreenParty MLA, AndrewWeaver, has demonstratedan ability to get under theskin of the NDP. He isn’tgiven much opportunity toask questions in QuestionPeriod, but he does get tovote on things. His deci-sion to vote in favour of theB.C. Liberal government’sbudget really irritated anumber of NDP MLAs,who voiced their objectionson social media. He said hedidn’t necessarily think thebudget will actually be bal-anced when all is said anddone, but he was in favourof at least the concept ofit (something that sets himapart from the NDP).
! Clark has been ableto reward most membersof her caucus with cabinetposts, parliamentary sec-retary appointments, com-mittee memberships andcaucus positions, most ofwhich come with a boost insalary. Two MLAs, however,have been frozen out: MoiraStillwell and Sam Sullivan.
Stillwell has been on theouts with Clark for months,and Sullivan beat Clark forthe Vancouver mayoraltysome years back. It lookslike Clark is not in a forgiv-ing mood towards somepeople. I wonder whethershe will display a similarattitude to some key peoplein the business communitywho were less than loyalbefore her miracle win.

The Editor,Re: “Sister city spending plans put on hold,” News, July
15.I’m sick and tired of our esteemed city council members
and city staff setting up sister cities so they have exotic placesto visit on the taxpayers’ dime.
If they can’t afford to travel to places like Japan, Montrealand China on their own money, I’d suggest that they find ajob that pays more or stay at home like some of us do regu-larly.
I notice that places like Haiti, Attawapiskat and other lessdesirable locations, that might be able to use their question-able skills, are never included in the sister city lists.
That “surplus” that they always manage to find for thingsthey like to do is actually taxpayers’ money and I think itcould be better spent on something more beneficial to thegeneral public, such as food banks, seniors or children’sactivities for instance.
This is my first and probably my last letter to any editor,but if everyone who feels the same would just write one let-ter, I would hope that council would get the idea that we’re allsick and tired of their wasteful spending.

The Editor,Re: “Trustee draws fire
for talk show slot,” News,July 10.
I have been an electedschool trustee for one anda half years, in addition tobeing active in the commu-nity, a proud father of twodaughters and work a full-time job as a senior softwaredevelopment manager.
I have also been a currentaffairs commentator for closeto a decade before beingelected in 2011.
I provide printed, onlineand on-air media with com-mentary on issues facingordinary Canadians everyday. It is therefore under-standable that I am still beinginvited as a guest at times toshare my opinions on a widerange of topics that may ormay not be related to educa-tional issues.
I always made it veryclear to the audience thatI was commenting as anindividual and a concernedcitizen.
When on those occa-sions that I was interviewedas a Richmond Board ofEducation Trustee, I alwaysmade sure that I would beintroduced as a trustee; andthat I spoke only for myselfand with my personal opin-ion.
It has not occurred beforethat I was accused on thebasis that I had misrepre-sented myself as speakingon behalf of the Board ofEducation.
Through my participationin the past dozen of years,I have been able to bringcloser attention and raise thelevel of interest on Canadianissues.
I plan to continue thismutually edifying commu-nity service as long as thereare topics that are relevantto Canadians. I do not agreeto the implication that I havesurrendered such rights asan elected official and willcontinue to speak my mindin soliciting meaningfuldialogue and constructivediscussion.
The one-hour phone-intalk show in question wasabout the highly expectedfederal cabinet shuffle thissummer; general speculation,its mechanics and politics,and not on any specific poli-cy as implied by the spokes-person of the David SuzukiFoundation, Ms. WinnieHwo.
From listening to therecording of the program,it is confirmed that the dis-cussion on the speculated
reshuffling of Peter Kent,Minister of Environment, andenvironmental issues consti-tuted less than one-tenth ofthe topics covered.
It was not true, andimpossible, that I had car-ried on for four minutesabout how the environmentalmovement was not viable.
Freedom of opinion andexpression is a right that allCanadians espouse to andtreasure.
As a school trustee inRichmond, my right toexpress my views should notand must not be restricted byany “official line.”
We are living in a plural-istic country where we donot sanction to one and onlyone voice.
I fully support the envi-ronmental stewardship policyof the school district andhave persistently integratedit into my daily living no less
than other citizens.But does it mean I cannot
have my own views on cer-tain issues and express themfreely for public discussionif I do not sing from certainindividuals’ song sheets?
Furthermore, Ms. Hwohas confused education withindoctrination.
Education is about devel-oping the critical mind of thestudents and this is achievedby allowing different views
and opinions to flourish.Any views that might
seem to challenge the ortho-dox doctrine should beencouraged, not suppressed.
What are we actuallymodeling to our childrenif I am criticized for sim-ply expressing an opinionnot necessarily espousedto by the David SuzukiFoundation? It is hard tobelieve that Ms. Hwo, whowas the chief of the news
department of an ethnic TVstation and a radio phone-inprogram host, has suggestedthat I should be kept in checkif my opinion is not approvedby her.
I sincerely hope that is acase of misunderstanding, orthat she’s expressing her ownopinion and does not reflectthat of her employer’s.

If you’ve ever attemptedto make a routine out ofexercising, here is a processI’m sure you’re familiarwith.
Getting off the couch oraway from the computer isthe first and hardest step.
There is a mental battlethat erupts as every fiber ofyour being tries to persuadeyou that: working out isn’tnecessary, that you don’thave time, that it will hurt,or that you’ll do it later…etc.
The voice persists as yougo to the closet to pick upyour neglected runners andput them on.
You’re aware that you canstill change your mind at thispoint but, you stand up, openthe front door, stare out atthe sidewalks and imagineyourself running… pantingfor breath all the same.
This is it, the literalthreshold of decision. Someclose the door and returnto their kitchen for a bag ofchips just to reward them-selves for even consideringthe idea of getting someexercise.
Others break out into ajog and fight past the blos-soming cramps, aches, pains,and lack of oxygen untilthey’ve run their route and
arrive home exhausted, yettriumphant.
Excuse the melodrama,but it’s taken me about ayear to muster up the disci-pline to exercise. Without aclass to enforce any systemof daily physical activity, itsomehow completely slippedoff my list of priorities.Multiple times I experiencedshort-lived spurts of enthu-siasm, before falling back tomy regular schedule.
Last week was different.After an inspiring conver-sation with a friend, I satdown, drew a chart anddecided that for an entiremonth I would run everysingle day.
I decided that, if I man-aged to colour-in every sin-gle box for a whole month,I would reward myselfwith something pretty fromLululemon.
Today, I completed Day10… and I haven’t missed asingle day.
As funny as it will sound,the chart has been, and con-tinues to be absolutely essen-tial. When considering why
that might be the case, I’vecome to two conclusions.
The first conclusion isthat the chart shows thatthere is an end in sight.
There are only 31 boxeson my piece of paper. Thishas made the goal finite andmanageable.
It’s not abstract andimmense. It’s just a bite-sized goal with a little prizewaiting for me at the end.
The second reason whythe chart helps is because itchanges my motivation fromstriving for a better bodyshape or becoming a healthi-er person, to simply keepinga promise. With the chart,I’m running merely becauseI told myself I would.
I’ve found that if I workout with the sole intention oflosing a few extra pounds,I grow discouraged by daythree, when I look in themirror and see that there’s nodrastic proof of my efforts.
Now every time I’mtempted to skip a day, I visu-alize the chart and think howsilly it would look with gapslike missing teeth.
Making the decision toget off the couch and awayfrom the computer was thehardest part. Once you dothat... the rest is pretty mucha walk in the park.

CONDUCTS RUNWAY MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIRS TO ENSURE WE’RE OPERATING A
SAFE AND SECURE AIRPORT.
The North Runway will be used for
departures and arrivals nightly while repairs
are underway on the South Runway, from
July 7 to August 30 between the hours of
9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Limited North Runway departures will also
occur over the summer to help reduce
delays and congestion during peak travel
periods, beginning this month through
August 30.
RUSS BAKERWAY REPAVINGOver the summer months, we’ll be
repaving Russ Baker Way between Miller
Road and Inglis Drive to ensure that it
remains a safe and reliable roadway for
our community.
This will mean reduced speed limits,
closed cycling lanes and intermittent lane
closures. Traffic lanes will remain open
at all times, but we suggest that drivers
allow for extra travel time if Russ Baker
Way is part of your route.
More information on the project is
available at www.yvr.ca

DOMESTICTERMINALUPGRADESPart of the Airport Authority’s 10-year,
$1.8-billion gateway plan to build a better
YVR, construction on the Domestic Terminal’s
A & B gates continues. Once complete
in 2015, the facility will offer passengers
traveling with WestJet and other regional
carriers renovated gates and hold rooms,
new shops and restaurants and art and
architecture inspired by B.C.’s Interior.
DESIGNEROUTLETCENTREYVR is partnering with McArthurGlen
Group to build a Designer Outlet
Centre on Sea Island, conveniently
located steps from the Canada Line.
Preliminary site work is underway,
with a target opening of 2015. This
regional destination will feature a
variety of shops and services, plus an
entertainment square, playground,
restaurants and other amenities the
entire community can enjoy.
FLIGHT PATH PARKFlight Path Park is getting a new look and a new name. This favourite plane-spotting locale
at the end of the South Runway is undergoing renovation this summer, and will reopen in
September as Larry Berg Park – a tribute to our former CEO. A central plaza, new pathways
and an elevated platform for the best aircraft viewing on the South side await the community.

Lately, buzz in the invest-ment world has revolvedaround trailer fees paid toadvisors. This follows arecent roundtable discussionheld by the Ontario SecuritiesCommission and the releaseof a report late last yearfrom the Canadian SecuritiesAdministrators.
Currently, some advisors are compensatedby mutual fund companies via trailer feesembedded in management expense ratios.
This is typically done in lieu of chargingclients a separate fee for investment ser-vices and professional advice. For the mostpart, these advisors do not earn a salary, butinstead rely on this compensation structure.
Investor advocates argue this practicelacks the transparency investors need to makeeducated decisions about their portfolios.
I believe the argument has merit, althoughI think the focus is somewhat misdirected andthe discussion should be wider than trailerfees.
The key issue isn’t whether or not advi-sors should be paid. Advisors provide a pro-fessional service and should be compensatedaccording to the quality of their advice.
Simply put, fees are paid in any industry,trade or profession for services rendered.Nobody works for free.
The focus of the debate should instead bedirected toward educating investors and creat-ing an environment where fees are openlydiscussed and completely disclosed.
Investors should be fully apprised of thecost of doing business and they should under-stand what they are getting in return for thefees. These are important issues, which mustbe addressed accordingly.
Surveys have shown that many investorsare unaware of the fees they pay. The number
of investment products hasincreased, translating intoa variety of fees with someembedded in the cost of theproduct and others chargedseparately. It’s no wonderinvestors are confused.
To remedy this, investorsshould have the entire feestructure clarified in detail
and provided in writing.When contracting for any kind of service
a customer gets a price, and investing shouldnot be different. Neither should advisors waitfor investors to ask before disclosing fees.
Costs should be part of the discussionbefore the investor signs on as a client.
Advisors should fully explain what thefees are paying for. What services can theinvestors expect in return?
Is the fee associated purely with the costof the investment transaction or will otherservices be included, such as financial plan-ning?
All too often fees are an afterthought thatis only discussed when an issue arises. Thisneeds to change. Advisors must take a moreactive role in the fee education process.
No matter what the industry, there isalways a cost of doing business. However, inthe investment world, a change is needed andthat change is transparency.
Investors must fully understand their costsso they can be confident in their investmentsand can make informed decisions. Withoutthat openness the industry will remain miredin distrust and there will forever be a discon-nect between advisor and client.

It just keeps getting bigger and betterevery year.
The 34th Nations Cup gets underwaythis Friday at the Hugh Boyd complexwith more teams than ever and with anew flavour.
A record total of 54 “countries” willtake to the field this year — four morethan 2012 — and for the first time ever,Saudi Arabia has qualified to competein Western Canada’s premier amateursoccer tournament.
And two sections, the women’s andthe men’s over-52s, will enjoy two moreteams each in their respective group-ings.
As ever, with an anticipated 1,200players, thousands of spectators cheer-ing on the country of their origin andglorious sunshine forecast to grace thefields at No. 1 and Francis roads, thetournament is shaping up to be one ofthe best for many a year.
“We’ve expanded every year for thelast three years and we will be lookingto expand again, as long as we can keepthe quality high,” said Nations Cuppresident Jeff Wilson.
“The open men’s section hasn’tchanged much but the standard hasstayed high throughout and in the over-30s and over-38s, there’s actually a
waiting list of teams trying to get in.”Wilson is gearing up for a bumper
crowd this year, given a heightenedlevel of media attention on the back ofa multi-cultural TV station’s preview ofthe event.
“They’re going to broadcast livefeeds in Mandarin, Cantonese andPunjabi I think, so that can only begood,” added Wilson.
An interesting and colourful additionto this year’s Nations Cup will be SaudiArabia who, at the third time of asking,
managed to qualify ahead of Turkey,Japan and First Nations.
“They’ll bring crowds and a verycolourful kit as well, so we’re lookingforward to having them,” said Wilson.
“Saudi will add yet another newcultural component to the Nations afterthe arrival of Iran a couple of years ago,who actually got to the final last year.”
As for the teams to watch this year,Wilson said the first names that almostalways reel off his tongue are the

Maurice Smith All-Stars revealed
RUGBY
Richmond Rugby Football Club has announced thethird annual Maurice Smith All-Stars.
For the first time, the team includes 10 junior agedplayers, as well as the traditional senior boys and girls ath-letes.
While it was a down year for quantity of programs inthe city, the quality of the programs for the 2013 seasonwas very high.
At the junior level, both McRoberts and McMathcompeted in the Vancouver league, performing admirablyagainst many of the bigger triple-A schools.
McRoberts was led from the front by captain SamHagong, who was also called up to the senior team for thelead up to the BC Provincial tournament.
McMath was led by hard-nosed centre Nathan Irvine,who was also invited to play for Vancouver-West duringthe recent PRC tournament. McMath, in a stunning, doubleover-time upset, knocked off the McRoberts Strikers in thecity final, going on to place third in the Lower Mainland.
For senior girl’s rugby in the city, 2013 was the secondstraight year featuring two Richmond programs.
The McMath Wildcats, under the watchful eye of rookiecoach Dan Stewart, continued to improve during theirsophomore season in the Lower Mainland girl’s rugbyleague.
Despite a narrow loss to cross-town rivals McRoberts,and some nail-biting finishes, the girls did not qualify forthe BC finals.
However, the McRoberts Strikers, featuring a rostercomprised mostly of grade 9s, 10s and 11s were able tosqueak into the provincial tournament, finishing seventh inthe province at the Tier-II level.
54 teams, 1,200 players, thousands of fans expected at Hugh Boyd

“Africa is getting bet-ter every year and I heardthey had 90 players toselect from for this,” saidWilson.

“Players are pulledtogether from all over theplace and it’s always alittle bit of a mystery.”
