M
y kids are of an age that sleeping in beats taking in a parade; and I’m of an inclination that hiking out at Iona beach beats jostling for a piece of curb to sit on for two hours. That said, we all did get to the Salmon Festival — just separately and not until the afternoon. On my way down, I walked past the lacrosse box just north of the Steveston Community Centre. I couldn’t believe the swarm of youth — literally hundreds of teens (my kids probably among them) all milling about. Community police officers on bikes stood at the periphery. This was no Ferguson, Missouri; everyone seemed jovial, and there was a happy Canada Day energy in the air, and it built as the day wore on. How could it be otherwise, with that many youth all dressed up (I’ll say, they looked smashing in their red and white) and nowhere to go? The cops were keeping an eye on things, but a few suspicious-looking Gatorade bottles still seemed to be making the rounds. And by the end of the night (surprise, surprise) a fight was brewing. A couple of weeks ago, when we were doing a story for our Salmon Fest edition, we interviewed some Steveston business owners about the day’s festivities. While generally enthused, one owner mentioned the problem of huge groups of teenagers hanging around later in the afternoon. I recalled being at the festival a couple of years ago and wading through a throng of teens, when a fight between two girls broke out. It lasted barely a minute, but it was sparked by the charged atmosphere. I don’t mean to make this sound like we have a scourge of delinquent youth out there threatening the festival, but we might ask ourselves what we’re giving these kids to do. In past years, there has been a youth music stage and carnival rides. Neither of those happened this year. Perhaps we should be coming up with some activities to engage them. Or, better yet, form a youth committee and see what they come up with. Then again, there’s something to be said for just hanging out. A lot of learning and social growth happens when us hovering parents back off. Either way, the worst solution is to push them out and make them unwelcome. True, a hormone-raging swarm can be somewhat initimdating, but adolescence isn’t always pretty. In fact, it can be remarkably loud and obnoxious. Regardless, these are our kids. They aren’t all going to volunteer for the church fair, and that’s okay. It’s on us to invite them in, give them their space, and maybe even enjoy their crazy energy.

LETTERSto the Editor
More rental housing needed: McNulty
Dear Editor, There is a desperate need for more rental housing units of all types in Richmond. The vacancy rate for all of Richmond in 2014 was 1.6 per cent. The vacancy rates in subsidized rental housing operated by the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation was less than one per cent vacancy. Most of the units for rent in Richmond are old and were built in the 1970s and 1980s. The local supply does not even come close to meeting the needs of the community. According to BC Non-Profit Housing Association’s Rental Housing Index, Richmond would need 3,560 more units to house all renters suitably. Currently, Richmond developers are reluctant to build rental units in developments, preferring to build market housing for home buyers. To encourage development of new rental housing, the City of Richmond requires developers to set aside five per cent of units as low end market rental in developments of more than 80 units. For developments under 80 units, developers have the option of making a cash contribution in lieu of providing rental units. A cash contribution is offered to the city by developers more often than units. The cash received from developers goes into the city’s affordable housing reserve, which is used to fund new projects such as the recently opened Kiwanis senior housing towers. The city has done its best with the cash input from developers to facilitate development of low end market units and subsidized rental units. However, average local costs for rental housing ranges from $800 to $1,300 for
one bedroom units, 2 bedroom units cost $1,175-$1,300 and 3 bedroom units can cost $1,500-$2,100. These rates are not affordable for many low or fixed income families. The senior levels of government need to step up and provide incentives to encourage developers to provide more rental housing at affordable rates. They largely abandoned housing as a priority years ago, and municipal government bears the load, along with the many non-profit agencies we partner with. We need to do more. Here are some solutions which could ease the situation: The city should require more developers to provide rental units as part of their developments, rather than simply making a cash contribution. The city could increase the affordable housing percentage required within developments from five per cent to 15 per cent. An increased density bonus could be provided to developers who include critically-needed types of rental housing in their developments. Our population is getting older and many are selling their homes and are looking for rental opportunities and finding demand far exceeds supply. On the flip side, our young people and families cannot find affordable rental accommodation in Richmond either and are moving elsewhere. The city continues to strive to provide rental housing, but we need more partners at the table and creative new strategies to help us increase the number of affordable units. We can’t do it alone. What are your ideas for increasing the supply of rental housing? Send me your ideas to bmcnulty@richmond.ca. Bill McNulty Richmond City Councillor
ARTHRITIS
EDUCATION EVENTS: RICHMOND
Why’s grass always greener over there? Dear Editor, This is the way it will work in Richmond throughout the summer in regards to the upkeep of our lawns. Those of us long-time permanent residents, who do not water at all or carefully abide by the sprinkling regulations, will watch our lawns go brown and dusty, while the empty or periodically-occupied mega-houses around our neighbourhood will maintain lush green lawns thanks to their embedded (hidden) lawn watering systems that run at all hours of the day, perhaps seven days a week. Just another example of the dual standards that our elected officials and city departments have allowed to develop in our community. Money talks, wealth gets special dispensations, and the city’s declarations about conservation are selective and hypocritical. The evidence of the disparity is clear
Keep car dusty, lawn brown Dear Editor, For some days now, we’ve been reading reports that certain restrictions have been imposed because of the water shortage. We’ve also been asked to cut back our water consumption by another 20 per cent. In the Pacific Northwest, we’re so accustomed to turning on a tap and letting the water gush out that we don’t really know how to
manage otherwise. Having lived for over three decades in a country where water shortage and broken water pumps were the norm during the summer, I learned how to survive in such a situation. We showered at record speed and collected water in basins and buckets. One basin was used for washing hands, the other for washing fruit and vegetables. We didn’t flush the toilet

every time, unless absolutely necessary. At the end of the day, the hand-washing water served to flush the toilet, the other was used for watering plants. When watering the garden with a hose or can, we watered only the roots. We didn’t wash the car or water the lawn. These days, a dusty car and brown lawn are signs of a responsible citizen.

1. CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP
The main objective of this FREE workshop is to improve your understanding of the principles of pain management and its treatments, introduce different methods to cope with chronic pain and show how to take an active role in your own pain management. Remember:“No Pain, No Gain”doesn’t apply when you have arthritis!
enough when you walk or drive through our residential neighbourhoods, and this could precipitate an interesting legal conundrum for the city if they were to fine some home owner like myself for watering my brown lawn past the allowed hours when the houses next door and four doors down have, as if by magic or the blessing of the “Water Gods,” nice expanses of lush green grass. The property line between my house and the one next door is very easy to see these days. Slip a notice through the mail box in the fence of a perpetually empty house and tack a penalty on to the owner’s taxes? Gosh, that should make them fly back here immediately to shut-off their sprinklers, shouldn’t it? Ray Arnold Richmond

LETTERSto the Editor LETTER OF THE WEEK
Make Steveston a historical town Dear Editor, Re: “Make Steveston a modern resort,” Letters, July 2. A recent letter suggested that we would all be better off turning Steveston into a modern resort town stating “the heritage tag is choking businesses” and that an old building of no significance “should be demolished and replaced with a modern building.” Firstly, Steveston is not a resort town, never has been, it was and still is, in part, a fishing community with important historical and cultural significance to B.C. and Richmond. To think that any businesses would go out of business because of the age of a building is fuzzy logic, in my opinion. I do not know, and neither does anyone else, why businesses in Steveston have gone out of business in the past? Maybe they were ready to retire or received an offer too large to ignore, or maybe they weren’t that great at running their businesses in the first place? I don’t know. It seems ill conceived to think that a new building, strictly because it is new, is better for business than one that might have been built in 1895 or 1900. I concede that I do not understand what
some people’s definition of character is, but for myself, I can describe it this way: I have taken many a trip across the border into Washington and from Bellis Fair Mall to Burlington to Mt. Vernon and you can not tell the difference between them. All of their new strip malls look identical and, for the most part, have the exact same tiresome, repetitive brand name stores. On the other hand, when one travels to Europe and England, they find a healthy respect and celebration for old buildings with businesses and communities built up around these old buildings because they are old and historical. I have relatives in Texas, San Francisco and Washington and universally they only come to Richmond to visit Steveston. I don’t think that most people leave Richmond remembering No. 3 Road or Bridgeport. And most of the other historically significant areas have been built over already. I would hate to think that people would leave Steveston not being able to remember whether or not they were in Burlington or Steveston. Jesse Arnold Richmond

Garry Point not a landfill Dear Editor, Another pleasant morning cycle through the Garry Point Landfill. Visitors, please be responsible. If the bin is full take your garbage home to be recycled. Wayne Weston Richmond
Quality of life suffering Dear Editor, A Trojan Horse stuffed full of dollars has taken over city hall. Who let it in? It takes a lot of dollars to meet city hall salary demands, with six-figure salaries and lavish expense accounts for the high and mighty. Mega/monster homes and the Onni white elephant (Imperial Landing) are the works of city hall. It is all about permits and money. Both are needed in order to proceed with development. City councillors have the right to refuse
building permits, but choose not to do so for fear of losing their Trojan Horse. The city needs all the money it can get, by whatever means necessary, in order to enjoy life. Bylaw reform is the last thing to consider when developers and investors are happy with the way it is. But public opinion is gaining momentum and must be expressed in the strongest way possible. Quality of life in Richmond should take priority over quantity of life. Alan Johnson Richmond
Salmon Festival organizers thanked Dear Editor, I’d like to thank the organizers and volunteers of this year’s Steveston Salmon Festival. I attended the event and was happy to see people from all over Richmond and neighbouring municipalities celebrate Canada Day in Steveston Village.

CITYHall briefs
Library fines spiking GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
BLUNDELL CENTRE
N
ot to be mistaken for a library in Athens, Greece, these days, the Richmond Public Library has issued 20 “actions” to reduce costs and increase revenues at the request of Richmond City Council. Higher late fees, more stringent borrowing limits, decreased janitorial services, developing corporate sponsorship and asking the public to volunteer at the library are some of the ideas chief librarian Gregg Buss has come up with (noting its union has expressed “concerns”). The library plans to increase adult book late fees from 30 cents per day to 50; maximum fines will increase from $10 to $15; charges for unused holds will double from $1 to $2. The changes will raise about $100,000 over the next two years. Meanwhile, loan periods would be reduced from four to three weeks and borrowing limits from 25 to 10 books at a time (e-book limits will go from 10 to five). Among many janitorial cuts, the library will cut $1,000 from its budget by eliminating chair cleaning. The city contributed about $8.5 million last year to the public chain of libraries with budget increases of three per cent each year since 2011. Buss had previously told council the library is under mounting pressures to maintain print and e-book collections. As such, council gave the library an additional $225,000 this year but asked Buss to curtail costs. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie was particularly in support of the library reducing borrowing limits and loan periods. The proposals go to a council meeting on Monday.

happens to be situated adjacent to the 230acre port-owned Gilmore Farms.
! Council’s taste in art irrelevant: McNulty
Coun. Bill McNulty said he doesn’t think it’s council’s prerogative to deny a public art project at the final stage of approval. “Whether you like the art is, in a way, irrelevant,” said McNulty, who questioned his fellow councillors judgment in recently denying a ginseng photo display as part of a permanent public art project in the Oval Village. He said the public art commission process must be followed, yet when asked if the process of councillors having the final veto on art should change, he said it should not. Councillors Linda McPhail, Harold Steves and Carol Day denied the $190,000 project by artist Evan Lee. After much leg work by the developer and artist it was the first time council saw the work when it was voted down. “Perhaps council should be involved at an earlier stage,” concluded McPhail, who also said council should continue to have a final say because council endorses the public art funds. Meanwhile, another public art display has been put into question. A $250,000, 20-metre high “mirror ball” tower is planned for the new Minoru pool. Day wanted staff to check any safety issues with it being near a flight path. She also questioned its costs.
! Community spending capped
Richmond’s finance committee approved a spending limits policy for its new, $3 million “Council Community Initiatives” account, at the suggestion of finance director Jerry Chong. Council may not spend more than half of the money in one year. Each year two per cent of casino revenues (about $400,000 at the current pace) will go to the account, which may fund community programs or one-time events.

disease were advised to try to remain indoors in air conditioned spaces. Since April 1 Richmond has seen just 67 millimetres of rain fall when normally it would have received 206 millimetres. May and June were some of the driest months on record for Vancouver International Airport. Metro Vancouver’s reservoirs are just 75 per cent full now, which is below the normal range for this time of year. Meanwhile the region is now using more water (1.6 billion litres) per day than any other day last year. As such the regional government has placed ‘Stage 2’ watering restrictions for the first time in 12 years: residential homes with even numbered addresses may only sprinkle lawns and gardens on Monday from 4-9 a.m. while odd numbered addresses are permitted the same on Thursday from 4-9 a.m. Commercial properties are restricted to sprinkling on Wednesday mornings from 1-6 a.m. (even addresses) or Tuesday from 1-6 a.m. (odd addresses). Unestablished lawns, trees and shrubs may require a permit for extra watering. Car washes remain open in Richmond, however, golf course crews will be forced to restrict watering their fairways to once a week. Meanwhile commercial window washing for aesthetic purposes is prohibited. As well, public water fountains and features are to be shut down, although water play parks with push-button activation will remain open.

he City of Richmond has closed several trails this week due to them being a fire hazard, as the current heat wave shows no signs of abating across B.C. Earlier in the week, the city closed the Nature Park East and West trails, and followed with further closures to the Shell Road and Horseshoe Slough trails. Future trail closures may come if the hot, dry weather continues, according to the city. Last Friday, the city responded to the sustained heatwave by changing the city’s fire-risk rating to “extreme.” The city stated that since May 1 the fire department has responded to 200 outdoor fires. Fifty per cent of these fires are suspected to be from discarded cigarettes and involved grass or bark mulch. Over the weekend wildfires continued to spread in B.C.’s Interior and Coast Mountain regions causing smoke to fill the air in Metro Vancouver. While westerly winds cleared much of the smoke on Tuesday Vancouver Coastal Health continued to post an air quality advisory on Wednesday, meaning infants, the elderly and persons with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and lung or heart

Could the Fraser River be ready for a passenger ferry system? By Staff Reporter
GRAEME WOOD
P
resently, a passenger ferry service on the middle arm of the Fraser River is a pipe dream, whispered in a few City of Richmond master plans for the area. But it may soon become a reality, especially in a decade when development of the waterfront truly takes shape. Imagine, if you will, leaving your car at home, taking a bus or bicycle to the City Centre area and hopping on a ferry to take you to lunch at the Flying Beaver restaurant. Or, perhaps, take in the sights on the new Pier 73 patio, overlooking Moray Channel Bridge. Vancouver residents may also choose to access the new outlet mall, BCIT campus or south terminal at YVR by exiting the Canada Line at Aberdeen Sta-
tion, walking two minutes to the Cambie Road pier and boarding a ferry. Or, they may board a ferry on the Marpole side of the river, which is scheduled for densification. Burkeville residents would arguably benefit the most in this new reality, where they would have direct pedestrian access to the Richmond Olympic Oval, the Canada Line, a planned hotel and entertainment zone in Bridgeport Village and the River Rock Casino and Resort. The concept is predicated on the city’s plan to densify the City Centre. Once a critical mass of population is achieved and planned amenities — such as a circuitous walking path around the middle arm — are established, a bustling waterfront will be born and capable of supporting a ferry operation, according to Mike Redpath, senior parks manager for the City of Richmond. While Red Redpath’s departm department has yet to consult with a ferry ope operator, Fa False C Creek F Ferries operations m manager
Jeremy Patterson told the Richmond News there are several factors to consider; the most important one is having the local population and demand to run an unsubsidized, private service. One of his company’s biggest challenges is getting by in the winter. He said a ferry system could operate seasonally as a tourist attraction, but it would be hard to notify the public when the service opens each year. Ferries would be authorized by Transport Canada and Patterson noted other river users — namely members of the UBC Rowhouse — would need to be consulted. “The rowers left (False) Creek for the river because it was too busy down here,” he said. With recreational boating on the river being promoted by the city, the ferry service would need to navigate amidst the likes of rowers and kayakers, although it would be difficult to reach the level of traffic found in False Creek, said Patterson. Furthermore, ferries on the river will have to battle tides and a fast flowing river, as opposed to the relatively calmer False Creek, so the boats may need more power, added Patterson. Ferry service is not new to Richmond as a car/passenger ferry ran from south Richmond to

Ladner, until the George Massey tunnel helped discontinue such service in 1959. Meanwhile, the City of Richmond, Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Vancouver Whale Watch have teamed up this summer to offer a tourist-focused Sunday passenger ferry service in Steveston Channel. The River Queen ferry runs from Britannia Shipyards to Fisherman’s Wharf hourly from 10:35 a.m. to 4:35 p.m.

! STOP: MARPOLE Densification of the Marpole neighbourhood in Vancouver has already begun. It’s also an employment hub for light industrial and commercial companies.
Pedestrian Bridge to BCIT also an option Among the many concepts floated for the Fraser River’s middle arm is the prospect of a pedestrian bridge that would connect the BCIT campus on Sea Island to the waterfront plaza at the end of Cambie
Road. The existence of a bridge could sink any chance of a ferry system, at least to that portion of Sea Island, or it could compliment such a service.
The bridge would act as a middle link in a planned walking path circuit of the middle arm whereby the Moray Channel and No. 2 Road bridges act as end to end crossing points.
! STOP: CASINO - There are several piers near the River Rock Casino and Resort, which reports to have about 10,000 visitors per day.

Middle arm to become city’s face

F
or longtime Terra Nova resident Dave Holt, who frequently walks on the Middle Arm Dyke trail, everything looks good so far for the Middle Arm Open Space Master Plan Concept devised in 2004 by the City of Richmond’s parks department. “Well, here, this was all covered in prickly bushes. We had to hack through them,” said Holt, pointing to a cleared dyke path that’s now been planted with native flora. Holt, now retired, remembers days long ago when a small beach, just west of where the No.2 Road Bridge is now, played host to scores of residents on hot summer days. The relics of the beach are now mud, having been washed away by the tides; but it is recreational activities such as that which the city hopes to revive. “For too long, the city’s had its back

to the river. This plan hopes to make the river its face,” explained senior parks manager Mike Redpath, who noted the plan’s guiding principle is to engage people with the river. It starts with the city’s already existing asset — the dyke. The well-established West Dyke trail meets Terra Nova where an educational farm and new playground bring visitors. Moving east, residents can walk or cycle along a two-kilometre portion of dyke — that’s been raised to prepare for sea level rise — all the way to the Richmond Olympic Oval, where, last month, the city completed a $250,000 improvement to the riverfront plaza, by adding beach volleyball courts and a small playground. Here, a picnic on the grass awaits, or, perhaps, a moment of rest and reflection in one of the recenty placed Adirondack chairs overlooking the river on one of the new dyke-front decks. East of the Oval, developers plan to literally raise the earth across a half-kilometre stretch. Much like the Oval’s plaza, Aspac Developments will raise its planned River Green Phase 2 and 3 dyke-front residential complexes to come level with the dyke by 2023, burying the existing River Road
for good. In addition to the $2.9 million “Oval East” waterfront upgrade, which includes two public walkways through River Green and a small greenway along Gilbert Road, a new $1.4 million public pier, mostly paid for by the developer, will be constructed next year at the foot of Hollybridge Way. Immediately east of the Dinsmore Bridge will be the middle arm’s crown jewel, the one-kilometre long Middle Arm Waterfront Park. So far, the city has bought 11 acres of commercial-light industrial land for $30 million and it is still negotiating for another 17 acres. Redpath’s parks department will elevate and re-landscape the area to include a large festival field, a native forest and wetland and an observation hill for rowing and Dragon Boat competitions. Along the water will be stepped, rock seating, presently in place in some parts. The park will stop short of Cambie Road, where Canada Post owns and operates a sorting facility. The plan calls for development of that site into a “cultural / shopping destination” next to another public plaza. Moving people to and from the park will be a new, $11 million, four-lane arterial road, River Parkway, that will replace River Road north of the Dinsmore Bridge and extend to Capstan Way. Phased con-
struction, paid for through developments fronting the road to the east, is scheduled to begin in 2018 and the full build-out is expected by 2028, when about 90,000 people are expected to be living in City Centre. The Middle Arm Greenway, as it will be known, will connect the largely residential zones of the Terra Nova, Oval and Minoru neighbourhoods to the waterfront residential-maritime “mews” of newly dubbed Capstan Village, as well as the newly dubbed, business-oriented Bridgeport Village that plans to feature an international trade centre, hotels and an “entertainment” zone. There may also be an opportunity for “waterborne residential.” The area is expected to take on an eclectic feel, on par with Granville Island, according to the plan. Redpath said the city still has work to do in planning how to connect the greenway to the River Rock Casino and Resort marina, but the plan is for an environmentally upgraded, natural setting overlooking the river’s bend. However, pedestrian and cycling access points will ultimately be moulded from the city’s map and the greenway will serve as a connection between the West Dyke, Railway Greenway, the City Centre and north arm cycling routes, including the Canada Line pedestrian bridge.

he first ever seniors expo in Richmond was a resounding success, with more than 800 people attending the one-day CARP event at South Arm United Church. And it was little wonder with top quality entertainment, from an orchestra and a choir to dancers and a jazz band, as well as a plethora of vendors, seminars, special guests and door prizes. The inaugural Seniors Health And Resource Expo (SHARE) event — run by the Richmond chapter of seniors group CARP — was such a hit, that the organizing committee are already planning ahead for the 2016 expo, with a promise of it being even bigger and better. “It took three to four months to plan and prepare; next year, we are going to start earlier,” said CARP Richmond’s communications spokesperson Becky Herrmann. “We were very happy to get the support of the community, there was an amazing array of services and products, geared specifically to serving the senior population within the geographical area covered by the Richmond/ Delta chapter. “However, beyond the resources presented by the 82 exhibitors, the whole day had activities that could be enjoyed by all. “The dance groups/live music during the entire event was outstanding, from exquisitely played instrumental jazz to outstanding young teen performers in a youth orchestra.”

Over the day, there were 10 different seminars, covering topics from heart care, brain ‘health’ and overall fitness, to cruising tips and dealing with your final arrangements. The winner of the event’s grand prize — a Holland America Line cruise on the Noordam liner from Vancouver for three nights along the Pacific northwest — was Richmond couple Sivananda and Rashida Ramasamy. The Richmond/Delta chapter only started about 21 months ago and now has almost 1,000 members, with many more having signed up at last week’s expo. The group meets on the first Thursday of every month, with regular speakers and events. Go to www.carp.ca/richmond for more information.

F
or periods this summer, Steveston’s Angelica Poversky will have to remain silent and motionless for stretches as long as five to six minutes at a time. While those episodes may sound brief, it’s a tall order for the McMath secondary student who’s used to being on the go, running the local dyke trails in a build up to a marathon event, playing with her folk/rap band called Goons, finishing her novel, serving on an advisory committee for the city’s latest festival, or delivering one her forthright performances as a spoken word poet. The News got a chance to sit down with Poversky at Waves Coffee on a recent, spectacular, sunny Steveston morning to find out what exactly will be keeping her from her own form of perpetual motion. “I am a living statue during the Ships to Shore event and Maritime Festival, which means I have to remain motionless and quiet until someone drops a coin into a box,” ex-
plained this year’s Youth Arts Awards winner between sips of steamed milk. “Then I can burst to life and start telling them my story.” It’s a perfect role for the 17-year-old since it allows her the opportunity to combine a pair of favoured pursuits — one-on-one communication and performing. It’s an art the soonto-be Grade 12 student believes is absent for many hunkered down in today’s world where communication through social media is often the preferred mode. “One of my biggest issues is the lack of human connection people have today,” she said, adding when people do interact, it’s all too often very superficial. “It’s all about saying, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ without actually talking about the world, and seeing past the Facebook timelines, taking a picture and being fake happy. “I feel like right now people are selling an image of themselves when we should be more honest. But I don’t think social media is the place for that kind of honesty. It’s very much the place to advertise yourself. And when you’re doing that, you tend not to advertise the negative.” Poversky said society can strive to hold

those more authentic conversations and still have things such as Facebook in the background. “But (social media) shouldn’t be the dominant force in our lives like I feel it’s becoming,” she said. “We’re losing those real conversations, and it worries me.” You can feel the anxiety-laced passion in Poversky’s plea and understand it comes from a place in her upbringing which encouraged her to speak her mind. “I’ve always had something to say. And I’ve always been welcome to express myself growing up,” she said. “With my friends and family, I’ve felt my opinions were appreciated and valued.”

hey’re not brothers — not by blood anyway — but they are all about helping others less fortunate. A 15-strong group of all-male, mainly Grade 10 Cambie secondary students, called “Brothers Helping Others,” have been fundraising for various local causes for three years. In the spring of this year, however, the Brothers decided to spread their wings a little more and set their sights on helping fellow students in an underprivileged part of the world. So, they set up a coin drive of sorts, where they asked every single class in the school to search for loose change in their bags and at home. The result: $431 that has been turned into 100 individual school supply packs that will be delivered in person by one of the Brothers to a school in Afghanistan. “We wanted to try to help kids around our age; kids that don’t have the same chance that we do,” said one of the Brothers Helping Others founders, Amar Deol. “We learned that Afghanistan has the third lowest percentage in the world of people who are literate (32 per cent). “We wanted to help, but we were scared that just sending

Without that freedom in society — fostering open discussion — Poversky said advancement of many societal issues can be blunted. “I just see a lot of change I’d like in the world,” she said. “And I feel if I just stay sitting, doing nothing, nothing will come out of it. “I see a lot of pain and not very good things happening. And I wouldn’t have a life of very much meaning if I don’t try my best to solve problems that I see.” And if one of her spoken word performances can leave someone with a new outlook on a subject, she would consider that a “pretty cool change.”

Niyaz, who leaves on July 15, said he’s not yet picked out the school that will receive the packages — each containing one notebook, a few pencils, a pen, an eraser, and a sharpener. “The plan is to travel over the border with my uncle, who knows the area very well, and we will pick out the school when we get there,” said Niyaz. “If, for some reason, I can’t get over the border, then (my uncle) will take the supplies over and deliver them to a school.” Looking forward, Brothers Helping Others want to continue their good work by involving the community more and they are going to leave a donation box at Cambie Community Centre over the summer to collect money towards similar projects. “We will check the statistical sources again and see where our efforts might go next time,” added Deol. “But we definitely think, as a community, we can do a lot more to help others as there are many people in need in the world, and sometimes they can be forgotten.” Please reserve NOW for Belly Dancing July 11th

Election picture Restaurant shut out of Onni development GRAEMEWOOD taking shape
W
ith polling day a little more than three months away, the federal election picture in Richmond is almost complete. Award-winning schoolteacher and Richmond resident Jack Trovato is the latest hopeful to be acclaimed as a candidate, running for the Federal New Democratic Party in the new Richmond Centre riding in the Oct. 19 election. “I support a fairer, greener, more just society that makes life a little easier for working Canadians and that is focused on a hopeful vision for a better tomorrow,” said Trovato in a recent press release. Trovato, who failed to win a seat on Richmond School Board last fall, has already begun his campaign by knocking on doors and visiting many non-profit organizations in Richmond. He will be up against incumbent Conservative MP Alice Wong and the Liberal Party’s Lawrence Woo, a retired accountant and former chair of S.U.C.C.E.S.S. The Green Party has yet to
name any runners for either of the two local seats, saying last week that a decision would be reached “soon.” Richmond businesswoman Wendy Yuan is currently seeking the Liberal Party of Canada’s nomination in the new and therefore vacant Steveston-Richmond East riding. Yuan was the Liberal’s candidate in both the 2008 and 2011 general elections, the first individual with a Mainland China background to run for a major federal political party. She coild be up against the Conservative’s Kenny Chiu, a former Richmond School Board trustee, and New Democrat Scott Stewart, both of whom have been campaigning door-to-door since the spring. Lifelong Richmondite and Canadian Armed Forces reservist Stewart has tried and failed on the election platform before, running for the same party in the provincial race in May 2013, while Chiu is new to the federal election arena. — Alan Campbell

A
bureaucratic interpretation of the contentious “maritime mixed use zone” for the Imperial Landing development at Steveston’s boardwalk has prevented a long-established local seafood restaurant from moving into the hotly debated waterfront property. Shane Dagan, owner of the Steveston Seafood House, said he spent a year scouting the site and had developer Onni Group set to make “significant” building improvements to lease the 4,000 square foot Unit 110 on Bayview Street for a commercial retail rate. All that was left to do was apply for a business licence. That licence was recently denied by the City of Richmond and two weeks ago Richmond city councillors again denied Dagan’s appeal under the BC Community Charter. Dagan had argued that because 70 per cent of his food purchases are seafood, his restaurant could be inter-
preted as a “maritime” use under the existing zoning. According to the city, the Steveston Maritime Mixed Use Zone includes the following, broadly defined permitted uses: “education, housing, manufacturing, maritime, office, parking, personal service.” Dagan contested his restaurant should be included under the “maritime” use, which is defined as anything that “primarily” supports the commercial fishing fleet. However, the city argues that Steveston Seafood House is first and foremost a restaurant, and restaurants are not permitted in the current zoning, said Glenn McLaughlin, the city’s chief license inspector. As such, councillors unanimously upheld Dagan’s denied business license application. “I was pretty disappointed in council’s decision because we felt we conformed, to a tee, to a mixed maritime use definition,” Dagan told the
Get a little wild.
! Shane Dagan, owner of the Steveston Seafood House, was
denied a business licence at the Imperial Landing boardwalk after arguing his restaurant is a maritime use since it supports the commercial fishing industry.
Richmond News. He said the $187,000 he spent on seafood (about a quarter of which he said came directly off Steveston’s docks) last year “clearly demonstrates” supporting the commercial fishing fleet. “The absence of restaurants from being an expressly permitted use does not mean that its use is not permitted if it otherwise fell within the maritime definition,” Dagan argued to council. But Joe Erceg, the city’s deputy chief administrator, told council otherwise. He then went on to explain that had Dagan moved into the site, the city would lose out on soon-to-be negotiated community amenity contributions should Unit 110 be rezoned to commercial retail. Mayor Malcolm Brodie called it a “simple” decision to deny Dagan. Coun. Chak Au said Dagan “expanded the definition (of maritime) too far.” Brodie said “one could suggest” Onni was trying to circumvent the rezoning process. Erceg said city staff discussions with Onni to rezone the property are in progress and should come before council within the next three months.
Onni built the development in 2012 under the existing zoning. Since then the company has not filled the 60,000 square-foot space, instead choosing to apply several times for rezoning to commercial retail in order to garner higher lease rates. Since last year the company has not returned calls from the Richmond News, however its last appearance in public was May 2014 when it offered the city $2 million cash and a special lease rate to the city valued at about $500,000, in order to rezone. Brodie said he expects an “omnibus” application that would rezone the whole site. During last year’s election time some councillors took hard stances on the issue, with Coun. Bill McNulty stating he wouldn’t accept any commercial retail on the site no matter what Onni gave to the city. Coun. Harold Steves told the public the company was “on strike.” On Tuesday Au said he is opposed to rezoning all of the property no matter what the city negotiates. Dagan said he fears that rezoning the properties will allow for large companies and chain restaurants to enter the neighbourhood.

per cent to assist people who may not have the cash for a membership,” Drummond said. And for those who cannot afford the steep membership fee, but show potential as an elite athlete there is a promise of some form of bursary. “We’re certainly looking at that from a compassionate perspective,” he said. “We want this to be an affordable and usable facility,” Drummond said. “This is not all about money.” As for how up-and-coming talent would be identified, Drummond said: “They’d have to go through a due process to look at their potential and upside. I’m not a professional in that realm, but certainly if there’s an individual who doesn’t have the financial capability, but has the athletic capability and is endorsed by the various coaches, then, absolutely, we will look at their accommodation.” Phase one of the two phase project — the western portion with the club’s amenities and commercial lockers — is expected to be completed and open for business by the end of next year. However, once the entire project is finished, how might it impact local, taxpayer funded facilities? “Private operators generally don’t compete for this business beyond providing additional capacity in areas where demand exceeds what we can supply and where the consumer is willing to pay more to get such services,” said city spokeswoman Kim Decker, in an email. Decker added that much like when the Richmond Olympic Oval was opened in 2008, the impact on community centres was uncertain. “However, the reality has been that both City of Richmond Community Centres and Oval programs have experienced strong growth in program registrations and visitation every year since the Oval’s opening. The Oval and other facilities will continue to provide a broad range of services at rates that will ensure core community sport, health and wellness needs are met moving forward.”

Cannery music series a quick seller PHILIPRAPHAEL Staff Reporter PRAPHAELRICHMONDNEWS.COM

! The Irish Wakers played before a packed house last Friday (July 2) at the first Music at the Cannery performance of the season. Photo submitted
hile not on the scale of a Rogers Arena show, the Music at the Cannery series in Steveston is proving to be a quick sell-out. The Friday night series kicked off July 3 as the Irish Wakers played at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery’s outdoor stage on the Tank Deck, and it took a scant 10 minutes for the 160 seats to be sold out. “It’s become very popular as word of mouth has spread over the years,” said organizer Frankie Neilson who runs The Beat Merchant Record Store in the fishing village and started the Cannery series eight years ago as a way of getting more involved in the community, while promoting his business.
“We are restricted to that number by the fire marshal, but we’d love to squeeze in another 30 or so. “I guess we are the victims of our own success, really.” Neilson said the appeal of the concert series is as much about the acts booked as the delightful setting which allows visitors to enjoy the outdoors right on the waterfront and its cooling breezes. “We have some tremendous performers like the Irish Wakers who played last Friday,” Neilson said. “And we end the series, again, with Charlotte Diamond who’s a local legend.” Neilson added Diamond’s performance last year, held inside the cannery, drew a crowd of around 300 that spanned a number of generations. “I had one mom come up to me and say she used to listen to Charlotte when she was a little kid, and now she’s bringing her own kids to hear her.”
As for the outdoor spectacle of other performances, Neilson said: “It’s a great way for people to come out and escape the heat in their homes,” Neilson said. “The shows start at 6:30 p.m. when things are starting to cool down, and it’s over by 7:45 p.m.” With the success to date, Neilson said he has had preliminary discussions with the cannery’s officials to possibly stage more shows at other times in the year. This Friday’s show features Sarah & Rebecca (Sarah Ann Chisholm, Rebecca Blair, and Michael Burnyeat) who lend their vocals, harp, and fiddle to Celtic music. Admission to the Music at the Cannery series is by donation.

he next time you are out at a Richmond event this summer, don’t forget to smile pretty for the camera. That’s because Rachel Kwan will be focusing her talents chronicling people (particularly youth) and events for the Richmond News during the next couple of months. Kwan, 18, a graduate of McMath secondary this June, developed quite a reputation at her high school as the person to capture school life in photos and video. Although hardly shy, it was being the person behind the lens she enjoyed most, said Kwan, who started toting a camera around in Grade 10. “I never like being the centre of attention. I like documenting events so people have those memories they
can look back on,” Kwan said. “It’s kinda cool — it connects me with everybody. And I’ve made a lot of friends that way because they have seen my photos and videos.” Kwan said she gets her artsy, visual side from her older sister, Megan. And Kwan’s mother provided a love of comedy and writing. It’s those two talents, plus a scholarship, Kwan will be putting to use when she attends Langara College this September where she is enrolled in creative writing courses, with an ultimate view of getting into writing as a profession. “But I am going to always have film and photo on the side,” Kwan said, adding she credits her photography teacher at McMath, Anil Sharma, for encouraging her.
Away from the classroom she will be playing soccer for the college team which is another passion of Kwan’s. “I have so much energy. That’s why I play competitive sports,” said Kwan, who was also a provincial level field hockey player before choosing soccer as her main pursuit. “I can’t just focus on one thing. I’m kinda hyper. I need to do a lot of things all at once.” As for the rest of summer, Kwan will get that opportunity to be busy on a regular basis with her trusty camera. “It will basically be what I did at McMath, just on a bigger scale,” she said. “That should get me out and off !

There is a lot of detail in the sentences and pictures, and the fun part is this book uses a lot of imagination and imagination is the key to making a good book.

It will make you realize how lucky you are to have a complete family and live in a safe and free country. I also like this book because it could inspire you to do good and help out in the community.

A
s the summer heatwave continues, Aberdeen Centre mall has a “cool” exhibit for shoppers to view. Called Ice Age Giants, the display in the mall’s central atrium features a lineup of super-sized, animated, replica mammals that roamed the earth millions of years ago, after the dinosaurs came and went. Visitors will be able to see a family of sabre-tooth cats, a wooly mammoth and even a troupe of Australopithecus, modern man’s earliestknown ancestors. It’s all designed to entertain and educate, said the mall’s spokeswoman, Joey Kwan. “We like to call it ‘edutainment,’” Kwan said. “We like to have these kinds of exhibits because it brings so many people in, and when they’re here we want to give them something to learn,

decision to bring it back. Plus, the attention these types of shows generate furthers the mall’s desire to become known as the destination for fun, Kwan said. In the past, the mall has attracted displays by candy giant M&M, and building block icon Lego. Increased customer traffic doesn’t hurt, either, Kwan said, adding that in the past the mall officials would pay close attention and do counts of visitors. But now that the reputa-
tion of Aberdeen Centre is established for these types of displays, keeping a check on the numbers is not as important as the mall’s packed parkade and busy stores is indication enough that the promotion does its job, Kwan said. As for next year’s big draw, Kwan would only say that it will involve a constructionrelated, children’s product which is certain to create plenty of interest. Ice Age Giants runs during mall hours until Aug. 31.

Discover New Zealand — in two glasses ERICHANSON Sips Happen
D
espite the fact that New Zealand is far away, has more sheep, and the people speak with a quaint, almost Aussie accent, it does share a lot of similarities with British Columbia. The South Island where much of the wine comes from looks a lot like our province. And the history of making wine and the Kiwi wines themselves are almost identical with what we’ve done in the Okanagan. In the 1970s, both New Zealand and B.C. were making terrible wine. Both regions had planted the wrong grapes, French hybrids, yet expected to produce world-class wines. It didn’t happen! Once N.Z. and B.C. growers began to plant premium, vinifera grapes, the wine world began to take their wines seriously. Both regions had their first success with white wines and have now expanded into reds.
New Zealand’s biggest triumph was with Sauvignon blanc. A tasty one to enjoy is the Invivo 2013 Sauvignon Blanc ($16.99), which comes from the best region to produce the grapes: Marlborough on the South Island. It’s an elegant and stylish, dry wine with a gorgeous citrus aroma and a whiff of guava and gooseberry. When you sip this Invivo, you get a generous flavour of lemon-limegrapefruit, with the guava and gooseberry, plus a generous portion of mango and papaya. It’s well balanced with a crisp acidity and a wonderful fruitiness on the mid-palate, and a really focused, long finish. Sauvignon blanc has a generous portion of acidity, which instantly makes it a superb food wine, especially with seafood and white meats. In Wine with Food from The New York Times, authors Eric Asimov and Florence Fabricant recommend serving it with Asian noodle soup, including mussels, clams with the normal Thai ingredients of fish sauce, lime juice and chili.
! Invivo and Stoneleigh are two very reasonably priced New Zealand wines for their quality. Photo Submitted.
While Sauvignon blanc was the first New Zealand wine to gain world prominence, Chardonnay is also a stellar choice. My old standby is Stoneleigh Chardonnay and for $14.29, it’s a bargain! Like the Invivo, the Stoneleigh 2013 Chardonnay is from the cooler Marlborough region on the South Island, a crisp, flavourful wine that is delicious to sip on its own and a wonderful
match with food. If you enjoy Chardonnays that avoid too much oak, unscrew this wine. I adore the Stoneleigh’s freshness, complexity, and balance. Its bouquet has a floral quality and a toastiness, thanks to the gentle oak aging. Expect a potpourri of flavours: tropical fruit plus lemon, lime and grapefruit, and hints of marmalade, peaches, and olives. Did I mention that the Stoneleigh was complex? And it has a creamy texture that tempers the lively acidity. Delicious, and it’s at an extraordinary price for a wine of this quality. If there was a wine designed for summer enjoyment, the Stoneleigh is it. Sip it on the patio after you’ve cut the lawn. Enjoy the Stoneleigh Chardonnay with a picnic lunch of fried chicken and potato salad in a park or at the beach. Or serve it with some grilled prawns or braised chickpeas in a coconut curry sauce.

Vitamin D can come from multiple sources n Canada Day, I attended the annual Salmon Festival in Steveston and I couldn’t help but think, what a great place to get a good dose of vitamin D! This may sound strange, but allow me to explain. First of all, it was a beautiful sunny day and vitamin D is synthesized in our skin when exposed to sunlight. Also, salmon is one of the few natural dietary sources of vitamin D. Recently, I have been getting several questions about vitamin D, as it has become an increasingly popular topic among both clients and healthcare professionals. Here are some commonly asked questions and what you need to know about the “sunshine vitamin”:
source is milk that is fortified with vitamin D, as is required by the Canadian government. However, cheeses and yogurts are not always made with fortified milk. If you rely on a milk alternatives, such as soy milk, ensure it’s fortified with vitamin D by reading the label. Other foods may also be fortified with vitamin D such as cereals, margarines and juices. While sun exposure helps us to make vitamin D in our skin, we still need to be diligent about protecting our skin by wearing sunscreen. This limits our production of vitamin D, but it is important to protect ourselves from skin cancer. Many people take vitamin D supplements. There are two different kinds of supplemental vitamin D: vitamin D2 (also known as ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol). Both increase vitamin D in the blood, however D3 comes from animal sources while D2 comes from vegetarian sources, which is important to know if you are avoiding animal products.
Where do we get vitamin D? There are very few natural food sources of vitamin D, including fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel. Smaller amounts are found in egg yolks, beef liver and cheese. Another good
Why do we need vitamin D? Vitamin D is important for bone health (because it helps the body absorb calcium), but it is also required by our muscles, nerves, and immune system. There is also research to suggest vita-

min D may reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease, prevent diabetes, multiple sclerosis and perhaps certain types of cancers. However, more research is required in these areas. Is it possible to get too much vitamin D? Vitamin D toxicity can occur if blood levels become too high, which is usually caused by taking too much supplemental vitamin D. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, constipation, poor appetite and weakness. Too much vitamin D can also lead to elevated blood calcium levels which can lead to confusion, disorientation and problems with heart rhythm. Excess vitamin D can also harm the kidneys. Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency? People who are at an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency include: breastfed infants, adults over 50 years old, individuals with darkly pigmented skin, and people with reduced absorption due to medical conditions such as Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, gastric bypass surgery, etc. If you think you may be at risk for low vitamin D, talk to your doctor or dietitian who can help assess your risk and needs!

THE GRAEMEProject
Time for the summer shorts GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
W
e’re heading into the thick of summer now, and over the past few weeks, I’ve been playing quite a bit of golf, trying to establish a routine to my game. I asked Richmond Country Club head pro Mark Strong if it’s better for me to be hitting balls at the driving range or actually playing on a course and he opted for me to do the latter. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I’ve gone on my own to the range. However, Strong and I were just there the other day for what I would call a Q and A session concerning my short game. Over the past three months, I’ve been able to improve and manage my drives by teeing the ball up to my front foot, finding the right tee height, squaring my shoulders, closing my grip (club face) and pointing my hip out. All in all, most of my drives still have slices, but they’re manageable and I’m hitting the ball straight sometimes. But my mid to short range game is a concern. With greenside chipping, I’m becoming tentative to follow through on my

swing. Strong notes this is a common symptom of often topping the ball, thus sending it far beyond my target. In this case, I felt practising at the range was needed, so I could become more comfortable with my wedges. I asked Strong about two specific shots that are troubling me. First, when the ball is on a hardpacked surface with no grass, I’ve been finding myself topping the ball. Strong says you still need to get under these balls, but one tip is to close the face down when you strike it. It’s still an odd feeling not getting under the grass but these are common shots, especially when the summer heat dries the ground around trees. The second shot is the opposite of the first shot — having too much grass between the ball and where contact will be made. In this instance, I’m finding the clumps of grass are an impediment
to clean contact. In this case, Strong says the approach needs to remain relatively the same, but the ball may not spin as much when it strikes the green, so you may want to consider club selection when assessing the green. Again, I’d recommend mocking up some of these shots at a practice facility and looking at how the ball reacts differently. As for club selection, I asked Strong if I can use the same club, such as a pitching wedge. He said ultimately using more clubs will add to your arsenal, but if I’m only comfortable with one wedge then I should just go with that for the time being. I don’t like using a sand wedge from about 20 yards out. I find I’ll either under-hit it or send it way past the flag. I prefer a less lofty pitching wedge or even a nine iron, probably because that’s what I used when I frequented pitch and putt courses. I have only been using my sand wedge when I absolutely need to, such as in cases where I need accuracy, like plopping the ball up a hill, onto a plateau. On a final note, Metro Vancouver is now restricting golf courses to watering their fairways just once a week. Expect fast fairways and slick greens from hereon out. I’m wishfully exploring how I can get a better, lower trajectory on my drives to roll the ball.

raser Mulholland didn’t have to be convinced how there needed to be a hometown option for top young golf professionals looking to get traction in one of the world’s most competitive sports. “It was 2006 and I had just come off some travels through Asia and South Africa (playing on some pro tours),” recalled Mulholland. “I had spent a bunch of money, unnecessarily in my mind. “I thought ‘why do I have to go that far to find out if I am good enough?’ That’s why we dropped anchor and said this has to be done.” Mulholland would launch the Vancouver Golf Tour. The inaugural season featured about 50 to 60 members and 12 tournaments. Now there are over 250 full tour members and Mulholland estimates over 1,000 pros or amateurs will
tee it up in at least one of the 50 plus events on the 2015 schedule. The spring/summer season began back in late April at Mulholland’s one-time home course — the Beach Grove Golf Club. The VGT swings through Richmond over the next week with the amateur only Mayfair Lakes Classic on Saturday and the Hadassah-WIZO Pro-Am on Monday at the Richmond Country Club. “It was born out of necessity for local golfers to have a more affordable place to play,” continued Mulholland. “A tour where they could learn how to play, learn how to win and find out if they are good enough or not. If they are not after five years then at least they won’t go broke over it.” One VGT alumni who found out he was good enough is Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor.
After an outstanding amateur career where he starred at the University of Washington, Taylor made his pro debut at the VGT Tour Championship. When he wasn’t playing abroad, he found time for VGT events and dominated the 2013 schedule, winning eight of the 14 tournaments he teed up in. A year later, Taylor secured his PGA Tour card and became the first VGT alumni to win - capturing the Sanderson Farms Championship in November. A feat that was worth $720,000. It was also the first victory by a Canadian on the PGA Tour in seven years as Taylor upstaged regulars Graham Deleat, David Hearn and another VGT alumni - Adam Hadwin - who also had just earned his full-time PGA Tour card. “Nick had taken that first win away from others,” said Mulholland. “It was a bit of a shock to some but not us, knowing how good he was. He had a 66.2 stroke average (here) in 2013 and all of
a sudden he is on the PGA Tour.” It’s the success of Taylor and others that has helped the VGT continue to grow. As tour commissioner, Mulholland is busy in the off-season lining up sponsors and potential tournament venues. Two of the biggest supporters are title sponsor IGA and order of merit sponsor Cleveland Golf/Srixon Canada. In total, over $500,000 of cash and merchandise will be awarded to pros and amateur this season. Mulholland also has a team of dedicated volunteers working with him. “The tour is not here without them or the support of our sponsors,” he added. “There has always been good tournaments in the Lower Mainland but never a series or a schedule. You want to have good venues to play and pros to have money to play for so it’s worth their while. It’s really fun to see the graduation of our players and to see how many are coming on board as well.”
