VOICES

Time to listen to Indigenous Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

I love being Canadian. I appreciate the beauty of our country and the freedoms I enjoy. For the most part, I’m incredibly proud of where I’m from.

For the most part.

The truth is, my country — our country — also has a dark history and a dark present. We’ve built our home on lands that do not belong to us. We’ve prospered at the expense of others.

5

Last week, I attended the hearings her in Richmond for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). It’s been such a major national undertaking that I was curious to see the process first-hand.

It was hard.

First of all, it was hard as a reporter. Around 100 witnesses spoke over those five days, and it was a challenge to pull common threads that I could tie together neatly into a news story.

But even more so, it was hard as an otherwise proud Canadian. Yes, I know about our nation’s history and I’ve made a point of learning about the treatment of Indigenous people.

But reading textbooks and attending seminars doesn’t compare to hearing story after story of how that history continues to rip families apart, leaving children motherless and parents childless.

10

On Friday, I listened to a youth panel where three young women under the age of 25 — not much younger than myself — shared their experiences of aging out of foster care as Indigenous people. One youth said she felt like she was seen as “just garbage” when she aged out of care at 19.

What do we do with stories like that?

So many times I’ve heard the argument from my peers “I wasn’t the one who put Indigenous people in residential schools,” or, “those were my ancestors, not me.”

14

But the question is, what are we doing now?

Right now, there are 78 long-term drinking water advisories active on reserves across Canada, according to the federal government.

Right now, suicide rates are five to seven times higher for Indigenous youth than for non-Indigenous youth.

31

Right now, Aboriginal females account for nearly a quarter of female homicide victims in the country.

These are the realities that we live with in our country today and this generation of Indigenous youth is still being affected.

I certainly don’t have solutions, but I do know that listening to stories of these Indigenous survivors and hearing their solutions is the only way we’ll see change. The MMIWG hearings may have had flaws, but I hope they at least ignited a dialogue.

In that youth panel, those young women shared ideas and hopes for how the foster care system can change in Canada.

In other words, there are ideas out there, it’s just time that we actually stop and listen to them.

32

It may not seem like much, but it would be a start.

What should city council do with Onni Group’s $5.5 million rezoning payment?

June McGregor

Ron Small

RETIRED MANAGER

Well, the library upgrade for sure. People use it a lot. It is too small, absolutely. I don’t know whether it should go in here or over there. Oh gosh, $5.5 million, that’s a lot, although a million is nothing.

Warren McKenzie

RETIRED BUSINESSMAN

It’s a difficult thing. $5.5 million is a considerable amount; it will go a long way. Although this gets into the commercial aspect I’m thinking improvements to restaurants, especially closer to the water. If they could redesignate (improve) some of that waterfront land for the restaurant situation.

RETIRED SOCIAL WORK

As an avid boater, I would like more marina space, more available moorage for local boaters. I end up parking in Ladner or the Middle Arm and that’s irritating.

There’s a lot of fishing type boats and there’s a long wait for nonfishing type boats to get space in the harbour

I thought the $5.5 million was going into the community centre.

I think they need to remodel it and put in some subsidized housing.

They need to build up like everyone else is. A lot of seniors I know are moving out and having to go to White Rock and stuff like that.

They’re losing their community.

I know what it shouldn’t be used for: that tramline they are thinking about going in, from here to the Cannery. …I would rather see the money go towards an improved community centre and/or library.

Homeless debate: Both ‘Normal’ neighbours sides made mistakes have problems, too Dear Editor,

Richmond’s temporary modular housing (TMH) project would have been an easy sell if not for the following: 1. There is a lack of information coming from BC Housing. Even at the TMH Roundtable, organized by concerned citizens on April 4, their answers failed to provide confidence. For instance, why would the cost of TMH (without land) work out to about $700 per sq. foot, way higher than a similar size wood framed or even concrete building; or why local housing operators were not invited to submit proposals to operate the TMH? 2. Raincity, the selected operator for the TMH, also does not inspire confidence when they indicated they would have to wait till

the TMH occupants are selected before deciding on the needed qualification of TMH staff.

3. Understandably, there is a big gap in the understanding of homelessness and its solution among the newer Chinese immigrants.

However, with a lack of sensitivity to that and patience to dialogue from the predominantly white group supporting TMH, the disagreement unfortunately, in optics, became one between two cultures.

4. In a selfish bid to gain more supporters, partisan spin doctors from the right, as well as upcoming election hopefuls have been misinforming and stirring up opposition to TMH. Richmond, with a high new Chinese population, is vulnerable to such manipulation. At a predomi-

nantly Chinese group rally opposing TMH outside the April 9 city council meeting, it appeared a good number of them were from Marpole and elsewhere outside of Richmond.

Understanding the above may liberate us from fear and distrust, the “us versus them” mindset that has been festering in Richmond for years now.

I understand some may wish to be singularly focused on TMH. However, the city we are in is segregated in more than just one way and it did not become what it is because of one wall.

We, who happen to see this housing wall, need to ask for God’s grace in seeing and breaking down other walls.

Bill Chu

Dear Editor, I say yes to modular housing for homeless citizens going up as soon as possible at 7300 Elmbridge Way in Richmond.

The location is not in an exclusively residential area. There are many commercial buildings with a few apartments and condos in the area. The property is close to grocery stores, transit, hospital, food bank, social services and more. The location that has been chosen is perfect!

It is highly possible that the crime rate would decrease in an area where homeless people are given a supervised and safe place to live. The chance of these poor unfortunate people getting a job and supporting themselves would obviously be much higher if they had an address, a place to eat properly, get enough sleep, attend to their health and be able to bathe regularly.

aren’t new, some of them look like they’ve been through a lot in their lives and continue to have problems.

They engage, smile and don’t cause trouble in our neighbourhood. I’m happy to see them here because without them we would be in what you’d call a snooty neighborhood.

An interesting fact is that even when we live in what you’d call a normal neighborhood, without homeless people visibly living near us, we don’t know who lives next door and what kind of issues they may have. Sometimes serious, frightening and dangerous behavioural problems crop up in people who seem to fit our standard idea of what is normal.

We need to help vulnerable people get back on their feet. A warm and dry home is a good start. Not one of us has made it to where we are without a helping hand.

There is an inordinate number of subsidized rentals in our neighborhood (not exactly the same I know) housing people and families needing help.

An additional modular site would also be a great idea also.

The people living in the subsidized housing are easy to spot, their clothes

You ain’t doing your kids no favours!

CBC News reported earlier this week that a recent online survey indicated twothirds of B.C. families with children (under age 18) still have not made Wills. Here is the real trouble with this statistic.

A Will is the best and almost only document available in cases where a guardian is appointed over minor (under age 19) children. Without a Will, minor children who survive their parents may end up in foster care. Grandparents could be forced to launch a Court proceeding to gain the legal right to raise their grandchildren.

With a Will, however, an appointed guardian in most situations won’t need to be concerned about a challenge to their guardianship over minor children.

That being said, I appreciate that there are many things parents have to deal with these days, and I hear regularly from parents that it takes them years to get around to making their Wills. But everyone does feel a great sense of relief and achievement when their Wills are completed.

Despite having heard multiple concerns (December meeting) regarding its proposed operation model for a hotel, Onni has not only reiterated but expanded its plan for a “remote operational model” — one that necessarily deems null the need for a 24hour desk and/or security provisions.

Although Chris Evans (executive VP, Onni Group) was present to hear the speakers’ concerns, Onni has made no effort to address their worries.

Onni’s Imperial Landing continues to court controversy in Steveston. File photo erence to a conventional hotel model, as was discussed.

That Onni continues to make unprecedented demands without regard for Richmond residents is disappointing but not unexpected. Throughout the on-going Steveston boardwalk saga, Onni has clearly revealed itself as anything but a good corporate neighbour.

It also appears that Mr. Evans’ clarification “…that the proposed hotel would only utilize Airbnb’s room booking model” is only partially true, as the model has been expanded to include room access without the assistance of on-site hotel personnel.

I encourage city council to not be further browbeaten by Onni, to not approve Onni’s ostensible “hotel” operation model.

Nowhere in Onni’s recent proposal is ref-

Mom dies during childbirth at hospital Daisy Xiong

All councillors, except Harold Steves, Carol Day and Chak Au, voted for the move during Monday’s council meeting.

The rezoning proposal mandates that Onni pay the city $5.5 million in amenity contributions, to adjust for the increased value of the properties after rezoning.

“Things happened too suddenly, and the kids are still so young…” said husband Limin (Victor) Yu, in a video he made to thank people for their support.

The proposal also stipulates that Onni can only operate a proposed hotel on the site if it provides permanent 24/7 staff to supervise it.

“I really appreciate everyone’s help for my family. This is a bright light for me in a dark night. I will work hard to face everything from now on,” he said while crying.

Onni proposed a remote operation model for a 32unit hotel on the site last week, which raised concerns among councilors over a possible lack of supervision.

Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) confirmed that a woman died during childbirth at Richmond Hospital on that night.

Stefanson said that while they can’t discuss the specifics of the case due to privacy reasons, they can tell the News that, at one point, 35 staff members, including anesthesiology specialists, obstetrical specialists and vascular surgeons, were working together to try to save the woman’s life.

This is the first death in childbirth VCH has seen in at least two and a half years, she added.

The newborn twins have since been transferred to Vancouver Women’s Hospital. Liu’s father arrived in Richmond from China Tuesday to help arrange Liu’s funeral with her mom and husband.

Yu’s parents are applying for visas from China to come to Richmond.

“Liu’s mom still wouldn’t accept the fact that her daughter is gone. She kept saying, she is just on a business trip far away, she will be back,” Liu’s friend Caryn Zhang told the News.

Another friend David Shao said Liu’s five-year-old son seems to sense what has happened to his mom, although no one has told him yet, as Shao said they are not sure what to do with him at this point.

Rezoning moves to public hearing

Onni’s application to rezone the Steveston boardwalk from maritime to commercial use has been moved to a public hearing.

Wei Liu, 37, suffered major bleeding during her labour around Sunday midnight. Both babies were successfully delivered, but Liu’s heart stopped after their birth, according to her family.

“VCH is also conducting its own critical incident review of this tragic case.”

Onni hotel needs 24/7 staff on site RICHMOND NEWS

A fundraising campaign has been launched after a Richmond woman died during childbirth at Richmond Hospital, leaving behind a five-year-old son and a pair of new-born twin daughters.

“Maternal death in childbirth is rare, especially in pregnancies that have progressed normally. As such, the coroner has been notified and will be reviewing the case.

RICHMOND NEWS

“(We) offer our sincere condolences to the family for their loss,” wrote Carrie Stefanson, public affairs leader of VCH in an email to the Richmond News.

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018

The requirement for permanent hotel staffing will also apply to any future owners of the property.

WEI LIU, 37, died in childbirth Sunday midnight at Richmond Hospital despite no apparent complications during pregnancy. Liu‘s husband, left, posted a tearful video thanking people for raising funds to help support his family. Photo submitted Zhang said the news was a blow to her because Liu was very healthy when she went to the hospital, and they were all congratulating her on having twins.

“The couple are very good-hearted people. When I heard the terrible news (Sunday) morning I thought I was still dreaming. How did it ever happen?” asked Zhang.

Zhang said the family doesn’t want to comment on the cause of death and who may be responsible before more information is provided. They also believe the incident will be treated fairly and justly. The current challenge is taking care of the children, who have just lost their mom, she noted.

A fundraising campaign was started to support the family.

“Yu is a hotel worker and can’t afford homecare for his kids,” said Zhang.

Zhang said they have received a lot of donations and help regarding funeral arrangements and childcare.

The Chinese consulate in Vancouver has also agreed to help speed up the visa application process for Yu’s parents.

“Yu said he hasn’t made a great contribution to society, and asked why he deserves all of this. I told him, you don’t have to give to receive. I’m sure people with a good heart like you will give it back to society in the future.”

People who want to help the family can email to victordonation@gmail.com or call 778-892-1228.

“We wanted it registered on the title of the hotel, so that if Onni sells the property to somebody else, the new owners will still be required to fulfill that requirement,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Coun. Linda McPhail said that the long-standing issues over Onni’s proposal are moving in the right direction.

“I’m in favour of a hotel. There is a high occupancy rate in Richmond and we don’t see demand decreasing. I think a hotel in Steveston will do really well,” said McPhail.

She said the reason that council had put the requirement in the legal agreement is because there is “public mistrust about Onni.”

“What we ask from Onni, we don’t ask from everybody else; no other hotel in Richmond is asked to do that,” said McPhail.

“We are putting in safeguards that will help the community feel better about the hotel.”

However, Steves and Day voiced their disappointment at having the rezoning moved forward.

“There is a long history (with Onni), and not just about the hotel. Basically, what Onni wants, Onni gets,” said Steves.

“What we are seeing is that there is no affordable housing, no childcare; we put all our resources into one basket, which is supposed to be for a marina and maritime uses, but we are not getting any of that; we are getting a hotel.

“I just say that we can’t support Onni any longer.”

Day agreed and said she’d still like to see staff come back with a proposal that reflects maritime usage.

Further consultations on this project will take place at the public hearing on May 22.

A Richmond-based animal charity is having to euthanize its entire rabbit population as a deadly disease sweeps through the Lower Mainland.

The Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS) is in the process of having to kill the remaining 66 rabbits in its care, after the highly contagious rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) struck its No. 5 Road shelter last week.

RAPS’ CEO Eyal Lichtmann confirmed to the Richmond News on Wednesday morning that, despite hastily putting a quarantine around rabbits suspected of being sick, there is nothing they can do to stop the airborne disease from spreading.

As such, the Ministry of Agriculture has advised that all 66 rabbits at the shelter — which prides itself in being a no-kill facility — will have to be euthanized.

“There is no way to stop it now inside the shelter; it’s a terrible death for the rabbits,” said Lichtmann.

“It’s going to be really hard on the staff, they will be devastated by this.

“We had to put up a quarantine after a

couple of deaths to try to stop it spreading.

But it didn’t work and we can’t risk it getting outside of the shelter.

“We are also going to have to destroy all the rabbit pens, which will be a huge financial blow to RAPS. But we simply have no choice.”

Vaccinations for RHD that were on their way to RAPS, are “coming in too late,” added Lichtmann.

RAPS has been assured by the Ministry of Agriculture and the BC SPCA that all the precautions, which have included biosecurity measures and the quarantining our rabbits and the facility, were in keeping with best protocols.

RHD is not communicable to other animals or humans.

A couple of weeks ago, local rabbit rescue group Rabbitats had to take extra precautions with its annual Easter fundraiser after word got out of the RHD virus spreading from Vancouver Island to the Lower Mainland.

RHD is deadly for feral and domestic rabbits. Several cases popped up in Nanaimo and Comox in mid-February before spreading to Delta and Annacis Island in March.

Families with pet rabbits are being advised to go to SPCA.BC.ca for more information.

Cultural diversity must be recognized: Wat from the provincial government, it should take into account Richmond’s diverse population.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Teresa Wat recognizes the balancing act that needs to be performed on the stage that is Richmond’s multicultural “theatre.”

That’s why the second-term BC Liberal MLA is concerned by the NDP provincial government’s decision not to have a ministry dedicated to multiculturalism, as was the case when her party ruled.

Wat — MLA for the new Richmond NorthCentre riding and former Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism — has just been appointed the opposition critic for multiculturalism.

And she feels the new government has created a void by ignoring her previous file.

Case in point, said Wat, was the recent furore in Richmond when a large group of residents in the Brighouse area, most of Asian ethnicity, protested the siting of a modular housing project for the homeless.

“We (in Richmond) have close to half (of the population) born outside of Canada; it’s a very diverse population...but we do have issues,” explained Wat to the Richmond News.

“In terms of the modular housing issue, it’s important that, since this project originated

“There was not enough information out there beforehand and it came as quite a shock to some of the residents. They have to remember that new immigrants weren’t born here and perhaps don’t understand the system.

Please join us at one of our community open houses to learn about the Templeton Area Redevelopment Project, provide your feedback and speak with members of the project team.

“If half the population doesn’t come from here, the government has to (consider that).”

In contrast, Wat said she hasn’t been slow in offering some blunt advice to constituents voicing their anger about the housing project.

“Constituents have been coming to me to complain about this, saying it should not have happened during the Lunar New Year, when many people are going to Asia,” she said.

“I tell them that they need to be making more effort to get involved in local politics and...their neighbourhoods.

“I encourage them to learn more English...I tell them that it’s difficult for them to fully integrate unless they learn English; it’s too easy to come here with lots of money, having Chinese media here; I tell them to not be lazy.

interrupted towards the end by angry audience members.

are here to talk, (but) we cannot say anything?”

During the event, representatives from B.C. Housing, RainCity and local non-profit organizations answered questions asked by opposition groups such as the 7300 Elmbridge Group and other strata councils in Brighouse area.

Audience members also wrote down their questions, which were selected and called out by representatives.

Her statement was applauded a few times by some audience members, but others spoke out against this type of behavior.

However, towards the end of the roundtable, one audience member stood up and interrupted the panel, shouting, “the roundtable is very very unfair. Whoever agrees with me put your hands up,” according to witnesses.

A video showed that around 20 people from the audience raised their hands. Some left their seats and walked to the front of the room — near to where the panelists were — while others left the room.

Organiser Henry Yao from Dialogue Richmond tried to calm people down but was interrupted multiple times.

An audience member shouted, “Why don’t we have the right to talk? The meeting is straying from the point.”

“You told us we would talk about whether to build the modular housing here or not, but what you guys have been talking about tonight is what happens after the housing is built. They are two different concepts,” she said.

Another audience member accused the panel of not talking about potential risks to the neighbourhood.

“They have found needles near modular housing in Marpole...who will secure our kids, our elders? Who?...We

“Weren’t people given opportunities to ask questions?

This is how these things work.

This is very democratic. What you are doing is undemocratic,” said audience member Aman Singh.

Yao told the Richmond News that some audience members’ behaviour discouraged dialogue.

“I understand some people weren’t too happy with the answers being provided...but we can’t behave like that. I hate to use this phrase, but it was like a two-year-old’s temper tantrum,” he said.

“It made people and the staff worry about their safety and potential safety issues during events like this in the future.”

However TMH opponent David Shao, from 7300 Group, told the News that some audience members’ behaviour was “understandable.”

“We were told it was an event for both parties to have a voice, but it was actually a one-way explanation for the housing project,” he said.

“When the residents realised they would not have had a chance to ask those questions, they felt like they were being deceived.”

Yao responded that it did take more time for the housing authorities to answer questions. He said after the incident, he and his team may go for smaller scale meetings only involving stakeholder representatives.

More talk needed Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

A community group supporting the controversial modular housing project for the homeless has told of its disappointment after a meeting to achieve dialogue was disrupted by residents.

Richmond United for Supportive Housing (RUSH) spokesperson De Whalen said last Wednesday’s “Dialogue Richmond” roundtable discussion was marred by some of the opposing residents shouting and interrupting the event.

RUSH, according to Whalen, went to the meeting “with the purpose of listening and learning from experts in the field and hearing what people opposing the 7300 Elmbridge Way proposal had to say.

“It was a successful event in that many in the audience learned a great deal about how residents are selected, the blend of different service needs, staff complement and makeup and the interrelations between Raincity Housing, the RCMP, the Health Authority and local service providers like Chimo Community Services,” she said.

“However, some people clearly did not come to listen and kept asking the same questions over and over.

“Near the end, it was shocking to see part of the audience suddenly turn into a shouting mob.

“The RUSH group commends Henry Yao and Dialogue Richmond for how this outburst was handled.“ Whalen added that, despite the disturbance, many questions were answered, including how the residents for the project will be chosen and how it will be staffed.

“Overall, RUSH was satisfied with the responses given by the panellists,” added Whalen in a press release.

“However, the four neighbourhood representatives did not prepare an argument, counter proposal or recommendations that could be discussed and debated.

“In that regard, the evening was onesided and the R.U.S.H. key message was reinforced: ‘7300 Elmbridge is the right place! This is the right time! We need supportive housing right now!’

“As many wise people have said before, a society will be judged on how it treats the most vulnerable in its midst.

“We believe that the majority of people of Richmond are compassionate and generous people who understand that to whom much is given, much is expected.”

RUSH is planning to hold a rally outside city hall when the subject reaches a city council agenda later in the spring.

City launches homeless housing forums About 300 people gathered at city hall to protest the proposed temporary modular housing (TMH) project at 7300 Elmbridge Way Monday night before a city council meeting.

Given the concerns, The City of Richmond will host a series of forums on the project between April 17 to May 1. But, instead of simply publicizing the dates, the city is requiring residents to pre-register for particular sessions and will set limits to the number allowed in.

“We hope to convey the concerns and anxiety of the community to the city. Our message, however, has been misconstrued in public as being simply uncompassionate,” said Ivan Pak from 7300 Group.

Around 300 people gathered at city hall Monday night to oppose housing the homeless on Elmbridge Way. Daisy Xiong photo a man from the crowd called for people to shout their slogan, “No TMH,” then made a statement about how the project would decrease property values.

But the man was immediately stopped by the 7300 Group’s organizers.

RUSH, made an appearance at the rally along with a homeless outreach worker.

“Their slogan is, ‘TMH is not the solution to homelessness in Richmond,’ but when I asked them what the solution was, they didn’t know,” said Whalen.

“He is not from our group. Don’t listen to him. We care about public safety, not property values,” shouted an upset organizer.

One rally participant said it’s the government’s job to figure that out.

Specifically, federal funding would be denied if an organization purposefully discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation or has active anti-abortion campaigns.

“The Canada Summer Jobs attestation is little more than a politically motivated intervention,” stated Wong’s letter, which she sent to Service Canada at the end of March.

With the changes to the Canada Summer Jobs guidelines, many organizations will be deemed ineligible because they are unable or unwilling to attest that their “core mandate” and beliefs align with the current government’s position,” the letter said. “These groups are being denied equal access to a government benefit solely because of their religious beliefs or conscientious objection.”

Craving Chinese Food? Look no further than this Lansdowne Centre Resto

R

ichmond is home to some of the best Chinese food spots in the Lower Mainland—and Gingeri Restaurant is one of the most popular Chinese food restaurants in Richmond, with numerous awards under its belt.

Gingeri was opened in 2004. The restaurant’s name was inspired by a decorative accessory in ancient China called a “Jin Ru Yi” which was worn over the wrist by wealthy people to indicate status and wealth. The word means good fortune and the fulfillment of wishes.

Whether you come in for a mid-shopping-spree lunch or for a celebratory dinner, Gingeri Restaurant has dishes to suit every craving and occasion. It is best-known for its variety of choices of Dim Sum, including traditional style Har Gow, Shao Mai, spring rolls, steamed BBQ Pork Buns, as well as signature creative Dim Sum items such as shrimp salad tarts with gold flakes.

The pièce de resistance are the restaurant’s three signature dishes: Sautéed Crab, eggplants and minced pork with spicy sauce, and Braised Whole Duck stuffed with Glutinous Rice.

All of these delicacies, and more, can be enjoyed in one of Gingeri’s main dining room and two private dining rooms, which cater up to 250 guests. 16-foot ceilings add to the cozy and upscale vibe of the restaurant, which also includes a karaoke system. It’s no wonder it’s a go-to location for weddings and birthday parties alike!

Gingeri restaurant is located at the East Side of Lansdowne Centre and is open seven days a week form 9 am to 3 pm and again from 5 pm to 10 pm.

Reservations recommended. Gingeri Chinese Restaurant is located at 5300 No. 3 Road, Richmond, 604-278-6006.

Lansdowne Centre is located at 5300 No.3 Road, Richmond, BC, Canada

COMMUNITY COMMENT

Remember this?

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

DEAR CONSTITUENTS, DEAR RICHMOND CONSTITUENTS, This Legislative session saw the NDP government deliver its first full Budget. My colleagues and I have been working to get answers to a number of questions that you, our valued constituents, have raised over the past few weeks.

The recent fractious debate over the siting of a housing project for the homeless on Elmbridge Way is not the first time controversy has come to the little parcel of land.

Many of you have expressed concern about the government’s new Employer Health Tax, which was brought in to replace the MSP. This tax will impact a number of organizations and businesses that serve our community well, including:

Wind the clock back eight years and residents were throwing their hands up in disgust at the installation, on the very same spot, of a contentious piece of public art.

Remember in the run-up to the 2010 Olympics the 24-foot-high, giant chrome-like head of former Soviet Union leader Vladimir Lenin, with a tiny figure of former Chinese leader Lady Mao balancing on top?

We doubt any of the hundreds of residents who wrote to the Richmond News to express their thoughts have forgotten.

The work was part of the 18-month-long Vancouver Biennale public art exhibition, which included weird and wonderful objects dotted around Richmond, such as Wind Waves at Garry Point Park and the three heads under the Canada Line guide way on No. 3 Road.

Ironically, despite protestations from resi-

Lenin/Mao caused quite a stir back in 2010. File photo dents claiming the art glorified communism and the controversial leaders, the work of art was created by the Chinese Gao Brothers, who consciously chose to criticize the political environment of their homeland.

No matter how people interpreted the piece, it certainly got the job done when it came to the role of public art creating conversation.

• The Richmond School Board, which could be forced to make $2.2 million in cuts to the classroom as a result of this surprise tax.

• The not-for-profit Thompson Community Association, which will have to make up about $12,000 in tax leading to potential program fee increases for children and seniors.

• Fairchild Holdings and Aberdeen Mall, a big employer in our community, which faces an additional $650,000 a year of employee benefit expenses because of this tax and the minimum wage increase. This could result in staff layoffs or price increases for consumers.

• Flying Fresh Air Freight, a family-owned company, which will have to spend $40,000 in Employer Health Tax instead of hiring of a new warehouse clerk.

I encourage you to contact my office to share your thoughts on the government’s tax plans so we can protect residents, organizations and businesses in Richmond.

City negotiates big mall overhaul Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Centre mall sits on a prezoned site for high-density apartments. As such it is not subject to usual city demands for community amenities.

One amenity offered is to open the mall’s galleria, below, to the public during all transit hours to access the Canada Line.

File photo

Richmond Centre sits on a pre-zoned site and as such its massive redevelopment will not be subject to the usual demands made by municipalities, to ensure developers and new residents have contributed fairly to the community’s growth.

“This is not normal. It’s very unusual because it was prezoned in the 1980s,” explained Coun. Linda McPhail, chair of city council’s planning committee.

The Richmond Centre South Redevelopment Plan will add about 2,000 new dwellings in roughly a dozen new towers between No. 3 Road and Minoru Boulevard. The old, brick Sears building and mall parkade will be demolished, as will the southern-most parking lots. Park Road will be extended through the development, which will neighbour Richmond City Hall alongside a new east-west road.

“The City’s ability to secure community amenities, such as affordable housing, is severely compromised because Council does not have the discretionary power of a rezoning application,” notes a staff report to city council.

However, despite the pre-zoning — the roots of which are somewhat of a question mark, according to McPhail — the site will be subject to amendments to the City Centre Area Plan and, as such, city planners are nevertheless able to negotiate some community amenity contributions from developer GBL Architects, which has several projects on the go in Richmond.

For example, Coun. Harold Steves said Monday the planned addition of geothermal district energy to the development is a key feature.

“GBL Architects and the owners of the site have negotiated with the city in good faith in meeting Richmond’s community plan without having to do it.”

As another example, according to the report, GBL Architects proposes “approximately 150 dwellings for low-income, workforce households (e.g., retail sales employees, teachers nurses, etc.) in two purpose-built rental buildings suitable for operation by non-profit housing providers.”

This, however, represents only five per cent of dwelling space, not the 10 per cent now required (as of July, 2017) under a rezoning application of similar magnitude. Considering nothing was required initially, McPhail called the con-

tribution “significant.”

These rent-fixed-to-income apartments will be made possible by the city lowering costly parking space requirements, from 1.5 spaces per dwelling to one space per dwelling.

Typically during rezonings, city planners promote mixing such housing with market dwellings for social reasons, but the homes appear to be separated here as part of the negotiations.

The development proposes 50 per cent “family-friendly” housing, meaning half the total units will be two or more bedrooms. Because a pre-zoned development does not require consultation with the Richmond School District, the application will only be forwarded to the Board of Education as a courtesy.

While nearby City Centre schools are already bursting at the seams and there are no plans yet announced by the district and Ministry of Education as to how to accommodate such growth, the development is set for public consultation led by GBL Architects in May. Construction could begin as early as next year.

Schools are paid for through provincial income tax reve-

nue and modest contributions from all new developments, regardless of zoning. For instance, a high density development, such as this one, is charged a “school acquisition rate” of $463 per unit. With 2,000 new units, that is close to one million dollars for the district, which has admittedly struggled to parlay the 2013 $41 million sale of Steveston High into a City Centre elementary school, as intended.

“Population is increasing at a rate faster than we thought,” said McPhail.

“This is something that came up in planning. You think, with about 2,000 units, how many more children will there be?” asked McPhail, a former school trustee herself.

Much of the area plan amendments are required to accommodate new and improved roadways, which will feature new bike paths along “pedestrian-oriented” streets with ground-level retail.

A major feature of the proposal includes opening the mall’s galleria (the linear blue glass dome) to the public during transit hours outside of the mall’s usual opening hours. This will allow residents to flow easily from Minoru to No. 3 Road, where the Canada Line is.

Due to population growth, the Canada Line is already nearing maximum capacity and additional federal and provincial funding is set to add more trains by 2020. The line is single-tracked to Brighouse Station, however, which also hampers train frequency to the area.

Most developments near Capstan Way were part of rezoning applications and, as such, have contributed nearly $25 million for a new Canada Line station (a per unit fee).

The Richmond Centre development will add a new, half-acre public plaza, however it will not add any new park space, as occurs in many other developments requiring rezoning. As such, new residents could depend on nearby Brighouse and Minoru parks and new rooftop courtyards for green space.

But, via the building permit process, any development pays a small per-square-foot levy (DCC) for city park acquisition for the city’s parks and open space plan. Presently, the City of Richmond is purchasing land along River Road to eventually create a new Middle Arm Waterfront Park.

There will also be “greenway improvements along No. 3 Road and Minoru Boulevard,” which is presently lined with mature maple trees and bike paths.

Bawdy house sting leads to deport order Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

A federal court case involving the attempted deportation of an alleged bawdy house operator highlights how Richmond continues to be home to off-street prostitution.

Chun Tao Zhang is a 37-year-old Taiwanese citizen who is fighting allegations by immigration officials that she came to Canada on a work permit, set up through a marriage of convenience, and violated it by engaging in sex work in Richmond massage parlours and downtown condominiums.

mond RCMP investigators. However the records are heavily redacted.

nor could any employees produce massage service credentials, according to the FOI.

In July 2014, police entered one business only to have a person yell “popo” as one constable walked to the rear of the business to find a masseuse in the shower with what may or may not be a customer (as the details are redacted).

Richmond RCMP declined to be interviewed about any ongoing investigations.

Many of the places appear to operate in low lighting with blinds drawn and access is only via a locked door with a doorbell. At one inspection, no permits could be produced

However, spokesman Dennis Hwang wrote in an email, “Massage parlours may be inspected by police or bylaw enforcement officers and have a requirement to provide detailed employee lists that show the full name and age of employees to ensure they are of legal age.”

A judicial review of her ordered deportation has been requested by Zhang and allegations have not been proven in court.

The allegations are revealed in court documents detailing a sting operated by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) that found Zhang to be operating alongside a number of bawdy houses in the Lower Mainland. Much of the work was being set up on the Chinese-language social media app WeChat, where a “full service” was offered at $180. Other services came through massage parlours, also in Richmond and around the region.

CBSA received a tip in April 2017 that Zhang was working in the sex trade.

This prompted an investigation, including a visit to Zhang by immigration officials, who found her living at 7360 Elmbridge Way, away from her sponsor husband. The two are alleged to have told border officials contradictory stories about their living arrangements.

“What was particularly concerning was that the applicant did not stop engaging in sex trade related business even after being visited by the CBSA officer,” according to an immigration officer’s account.

Zhang was then arrested in August 2017 by CBSA in a penthouse apartment at 8068 Westminster Highway after allegedly setting up sex services to be performed by herself for an undercover immigration officer. Another bawdy house location, where Zhang is alleged to have made appointments for sex workers, is at 7888 Saba Road. There, officers were offered an $80 massage or a “hand job” for $130 by sex workers. Officers claim in an interview with Zhang, she said she received $25 per appointment.

Such acts were deemed by CBSA to be a “blatant disrespect of the immigration laws in Canada.”

Zhang is said to have been forthright with officials when questioned about her work. She said financial considerations were a factor as there was no work in the restaurant industry. The husband claimed to not know about the sex work, although this is disputed by CBSA. Zhang’s lawyer is claiming the deportation tribunal failed to observe procedural fairness and fact-finding was made in a “perverse or capricious” manner.

This is not the first time off-street sex work has been found to occur at local massage parlours and in condominiums.

According to esthetician and massage therapist Nancy Hou, her business became so inundated with prospective “Johns” knocking on her door on Minoru Boulevard that she has recently posted a “No Sex Service” sign in English and Chinese on her front window. She told the News her old business in Vancouver never experienced such a phenomenon.

In the early 2010s, a rash of businesses were fined and suspended by the City of Richmond. For instance, in 2011, Water Club, owned by Paul Jin (now being investigated by police for money laundering, according to Postmedia reports), used to run its body-rub business from the 11th and 12th floors of the Radisson Hotel on Cambie Road. Also at this time, Temptations Studio had its license suspended for 30 days following a random inspection by plain-clothed and uniformed police officers.

A 2015 Freedom of Information (FOI) request by the Richmond News showed a number of business license inspections of massage parlours conducted by city officials and Rich-

RICHMOND UNITES FOR THE HEALTH OF FUTURE GENERATIONS

t took the power of community and a steadfast passion to never give up. Richmond raised its voices around the need for a new health care tower to replace the original that was built in the 1960s. From the young to the young at heart and from businesses to small associations, the community joined hands for a common purpose. The local government also became a champion.

Letters were written, petitions were signed - all demanding the outdated and seismically unsafe structure be replaced.

The outpouring of support has not been just for individual need, but for the sake of the rapidly growing population in our community. Since the original tower was built, Richmond has quadrupled in size and hospital beds have less than doubled.

The media not only caught wind of the crusade, but helped tell the story.

The Province listened to our community, and took action.

So, when BC Premier John Horgan unveiled plans to break ground on the new Acute Care Tower by 2020, donors, community leaders and hospital staff roared with applause in front of a dozen news cameras gathered at Richmond Hospital to capture the milestone event.

So far, 27 million dollars has been raised by donors who have been committed to a new chapter for health care in Richmond.

“There are many authors in this story. People came together.

The Community made this happen,” says Natalie Meixner, President and CEO of Richmond Hospital Foundation. “We couldn’t be more proud to be part of a diverse community that cares so deeply about working together for a shared goal, especially when that goal is not just for us, but for the future.”

The Foundation plans to raise another 23 million dollars while the Province and Vancouver Coastal Health will round out the full budget.

Help support the health of Richmond residents and make a donation to help those in need of care.

Introducing the

Galaxy48 Among some of the key tips to improving your resume include putting a personal, profesisonal goal customized to the job application; embracing keywords; trimming the “fat;” highlighting your accomplishments; and putting your own voice in the CV. The job market can be competitive, as new graduates flood the field each and every year. But graduation season is not the only time of year when the competition to find work gets heated.

The start of the new year tends to be one of the busiest times of year for new hires.

According to the employment resource Simply Hired, the first Monday after New Year’s Day tends to be the busiest day for job search activity. Companies are returning to full production after the holidays, and as a result there is a flurry of new activity. This means applicants can use the last quarter of the year to prepare for job searches they will institute once the calendar turns.

Many job seekers may benefit from revamping their résumés before beginning their search. It’s not uncommon for recruiters to receive thousands of résumés for each job opening they post, and the sheer volume of applicants can make it difficult for job seekers to get their résumés seen.

In such instances, job seekers must take steps to tip the odds in their favour. By following these guidelines, job seekers may have a better chance of getting their résumés into the right hands. · State your professional goal.

Modern standards may suggest that listing a career “objective” is old fashioned.

However, it is helpful to customize your résumé so that it is geared toward the position for which you are applying. A career objective may reflect how you are a strong candidate for each specific job you apply for. Use some specifics that tie into the particular job or company and you may catch the hiring manager’s attention in the process. · Embrace keywords. Many employers now use application tracking software to sift through the scores of résumés that are submitted for each opening they post.

Keywords make it easy for employers to

sort through thousands of résumés. The right keywords will flag your résumé and increase your “relevancy score” in the main HR/recruiting software programs available. Adapt your résumé for each application you submit. Use some of the words listed in the initial job posting and description. In addition, look at similar job postings and incorporate some keywords listed in those ads so that you have all the bases covered. · Trim the fat. Less is often more regarding résumés. List all of the pertinent information, then go over the résumé again and again and cut out any irrelevant information to remove clutter. Only include information that is relevant to your career goals. · Highlight your accomplishments.

Rather than listing every job responsibility and position in chronological order, use a résumé to highlight specific career accomplishments. This is a time to be your biggest fan and tell the world all of the great things you have accomplished. Remember to include evidence to back up the claims. According to a 2015 survey

by CareerBuilder, employers say that résumés that include links to a candidate’s portfolio, website or blog garner more attention than résumés without such links. · Put your own voice in the résumé. Rather than using standard verbiage on your résumé, personalize what you want to say. Hiring managers want to hire a human, not a machine. When speaking about yourself, be sure to use strong action words that define your skills even further. HR professionals cite terms like “managed,” “achieved” and “improved” as examples of positive, assertive words.

Updating a résumé with the goal of standing out among a crowded pool of applicants is a great way for job seekers to land a new job.

Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

A bit of Richmond folklore is being employed by McNair secondary marketing teacher Randy Sangha with the advent of his East Richmond t-shirt sale to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society.

Inspired by similar T-shirts for Steveston and East Vancouver, Sangha thought to shine some light on an area of Richmond that has various pockets of unique characteristics but also has aspersions cast upon it, at times.

“There are some out there that feel that the east side of Richmond and schools here are rougher and not as motivated,” said Sangha.

East Richmond is generally considered to start where the city’s urban, commercial and residential core ends and meets rural farmland and industrial sector. It’s subjective as to where the line can be drawn, however, anything east of Highway 99 would be considered by most to-be East Richmond. The federal riding of East Richmond-Steveston uses most of No. 3 Road and the northern portion of No. 4 Road and Highway 99 to draw a line through the city, granted evenly distributing population is the primary factor.

As such, Highway 99 is represented on the back of each shirt (black or white) by the number 99. The shirts also feature nine other local roads that help connect East Richmond to its more Tony, gentrified, developed and cubed West Richmond counterpart. They are: Cambie, Blundell, No. 4, No. 5, Williams, Bridgeport, Westminster, Shell and Hamilton.

“I tasked the (Marketing 12) students to create their own designs and choose streets/locations to represent this part of Richmond.

of shirts to order can be placed (email rsangha@sd38.bc.ca or visit McNair around noon).

The shirts are meaningful to community activist Henry Yao on many levels. First, as a McNair alumnus he wanted to help his soon-to-be fellow graduates. However, Yao also overcame a prior cancer diagnosis, as well.

“I too am a cancer survivor so I have a soft spot when the charity is fundraising for cancer research. Plus, I also loved my experience at McNair and that is the least I can do to help the school, students and empower the research that kept me alive till

today,” Yao told the News.

However, in Yao’s experience, attending McNair and growing up in Shellmont didn’t give him a feeling that his experience was much more different than his westerly friends.

“I never saw myself as a person from East Richmond. I just saw myself a Richmond resident,” said Yao.

“At different locations, I always pick a subject,” Tam told the News. “I always decide the theme on the spot. For example, in Bangkok I chose monks because they’re everywhere.”

Tam’s newest project, The Greatest Stories Ever Told, also part of the exhibit, is a series of collages made up of bank notes with poetic messages attached.

Garr said she asked the students if they knew anyone that had been to BC Childrens Hospital and most of them put their hand up.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

She’s never done anything like this before, but she’s got the full backing of the student council behind her.

MacNeill secondary vice principal Sarah Garr is well into her preparation for a stamina-sapping, four-day trek along the Inca Trail in Peru in August, as part of a Summits of Hope (SOH) trip for BC Childrens Hospital.

Garr, 47, who is paying for her own trip, has already reached almost $1,000 of the requisite $5,000 minimum each team member has to raise.

But she’s confident that, with the help of the MacNeill student community, she’ll reach that target before too long.

“I’m fairly new here, so I thought I could get to know some of the students on the student council and see if they’d be interested in helping,” Garr told the Richmond News.

“They’re a great group and they’re already considering a toonie drive, a donuts and bubble tea day and a dance to raise funds.

“We really come together as a school community here and it’s evident in the way the students have gotten into this.

“Most people have a personal connection to the hospital. And at MacNeill, there’s a real sense of family; it’s a really caring group of kids, who all want to make an impact,” she added.

“This is the first time I’ve done something such as this and I’m still a bit nervous about asking people for money. But 100 per cent of what I raise goes to the hospital, that’s the really good thing.”

Garr, who is also raising money on her SOH climber’s profile page, said she was given the idea of the trek by a friend, who knew of her love of hiking and charity.

“It was the perfect combination,” said Garr.

“Endurance is the biggest thing, but it’s difficult to find the time for that kind of training.

It’s really the number of days I’ll be doing this for that’s hard to replicate. I’ll be doing lots of cardio and work on the bike and will have to take altitude medication beforehand.”

Garr is also hosting a fundraising pub night at The Landing, near her home in Ladner.

Sockeyes host Cyclone Taylor Cup Tournament starts today with Richmond joined by champions from B.C.’s three leagues Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Making the most of a second chance. That’s what the Richmond Sockeyes intend to do as hosts of the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial junior “B” hockey championships.

The four-team tournament gets underway Thursday afternoon and concludes with Sunday’s bronze and gold medal games at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. respectively. Richmond is joined by the champions from the three leagues in B.C. — Vancouver Island (Campbell River Storm), Kootenay International (Kimberley Dynamiters) and Pacific Junior (Delta Ice Hawks).

The Sockeyes were bounced from the PJHL semi-finals back on March 11 by the Ice Hawks. Head coach Brett Reusch gave his team a week off then created a training camp type environment by bringing in major midget affiliates for expanded inter-squad games to challenge his players.

“The boys are itching and ready to go. It’s been a while since they played a meaningful game,” said Reusch. “We invited up some affiliates that probably can fit into this roster right now. It’s pushed the guys to work hard every practice and it’s been good. Almost a main camp feeling if you know what I mean.”

The Cyclone Taylor Cup is essentially a four-day sprint with no room for “bounce back” performances.

The Sockeyes know they can go toe-to-toe with the Ice Hawks after a season full of close games. However, the rivalry goes on the backburner with two huge encounters right out of the gate.

Recent history is not on the side of

the Sockeyes or Ice Hawks.

PJHL teams have been on the podium just once in the last three championships and that was when host Mission knocked off North Vancouver in the bronze medal game in 2015. The KIJHL has won three of the last four tournaments, while Campbell River is making its fourth consecutive appearance, highlighted by a gold medal win three years ago.

The Storm and Dynamiters are run more similar to junior “A” programs with players billeted.

Campbell River’s roster does feature some local talent but also players from the Lower Mainland and as far away as Calgary and Prince George. The Dynamiters are able to lean on Alberta products and drew over 1,000 fans to all three home games in their final series win over Revelstoke.

“Everybody wants to play in front of a sellout crowd every night and small towns can do that. It can be nice living away from home too if that’s what you want to do,” said Reusch. “It’s a good opportunity for the PJHL this year with two teams representing.

“This is an older team and this is the last kick of the cat for many of them. I think you are going to see lot of desperate hockey from a lot of our players.

The Sockeyes will take an overall season record of 38-13-1-2 into the tournament. Here’s a brief look at their three round-robin opponents.

SPORTS 19th annual Pacific International Cup is underway Shimizu’s rink that also features Cody Tanaka, Trevor Bakken and Mark Yodogawa.

Last year, Kim Dennis made history by becoming the first Richmond team to capture the PIC title with an 8-3 victory over Nevada in the women’s final. Washington State won the men’s PIC crown.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

A team of dedicated volunteers have prepared the Richmond Curling Club for its annual celebration of the sport’s grassroots.

The initial competition back in 1998 was called the Pacific Club Challenge and was designated for men’s teams only from the Pacific Coast Curling Association. It evolved into the B.C. Club Challenge and a women’s division was added in 2005.

The 19th annual Pacific International Cup gets underway today and features men’s and women’s rinks playing daily draws — leading up to Sunday’s championship games — first for International and B.C. bragging rights at 10:30 a.m., then the winners coming together at 1:30 p.m. to determine the overall cup champions.

Now there are three regional events — Pacific Coast, Interior and Vancouver Island — to qualify for Richmond. The B.C. winners will also advance to the Travelers National Curling Club Championships in November.

The event certainly makes a significant impact on the city’s economy with nearly 300 hotel rooms booked to accommodate the out-of-town teams.

The PIC’s international division was launched 17 years ago — creating two separate tournaments that brings the four winners together for the PIC finals.

Most had to win qualifying competitions to represent their region, state or country in Richmond.

The international division features rinks from Singapore, Australia, Nevada, Alaska, Arizona, Minnesota, Oregon, Yukon and Washington.

Even the B.C. division has entries from Creston, Quesnel, Kamloops, Parksville, Juan de Fuca, Campbell River, Cowichan, McArthur Island and Williams Lake.

Boyd linebacker taking his career to U of Regina

Ryan Jensen is taking his football career to the prairies.

The Hugh Boyd Trojans standout Grade 12 linebacker has signed with the University of Regina Rams for the coming season.

Jensen was a provincial allstar this past season as he resumed his career following a one year stay in Australia where his father Rod was on a teaching exchange. He is among 17 players the Rams made officially part of their 2018 recruiting class.

“Ryan is a guy that we knew nothing about until he sent in a film a couple of months ago. We like the amount of ground he can cover when he’s moving, and being as tall as he is he takes up a lot of space out there. He’s a big, rangy guy that we project as an outside linebacker at this level,” said Rams head coach Steve Bryce.

Jensen, listed at 6-foot-3 and 205-pounds, registered 41 tackles and had an inter-

“Like most families, food and cooking food has always brought loved ones together around the table or around the kitchen,” said Amin Sunderji. As the owner of Ember Indian Kitchen, an upscale, casual restaurant in Richmond serving up Ugandan and Indian fare, Amin set out to bring people together the one way he knows best: through flavour.

Amin named his restaurant after the burning char used to grill food and cook curries back in his home in East Africa. “Today, we are introducing the fusion of African and Indian cooking using such flames to ensure succulent and memorable meals in a warm, trendy atmosphere,” he added.

Every dish is unique in its fresh ingredients and bold spices; sharing and even eating with hands is encouraged. “This is a whole new taste experience for most people – even those familiar with Indian or African dishes,” Amin said. The elegantly designed restaurant offers a curated selection of East African and East Indian dishes that you would likely find in Uganda.

Though the names may be unfamiliar, the rich flavours and ingredients are inherently comforting, regardless of where you come from or what language you speak. Just try the coconut curry chicken, Kuku

Paka, which is Amin’s grandchildren’s favourite, and, in the restaurant’s early months, became a hit right away.

Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available as well; the Vegetable Pakora and Spinach Bhajia, a spinach and chickpea flour dish, are perfect for sharing. Like dishes that you would find on the streets of Kampala, Uganda, at Ember Indian Kitchen they use homemade marinades for meat and cook their vegetarian dishes with distinctive herbs and spices celebrating memories from the owner’s life.

What is Amin’s favourite dish? Probably the Kari Kebabs, an appetizer that the Sunderji family continues to enjoy on a regular basis. “They are flavorful meatballs spiced with cumin, garlic, ginger, and cilantro,” he explained.

In a place where “you can try new things and know they will be delicious,” stop by to enjoy lunch, dinner or snacks and drinks. “We look forward to sharing a fabulous patio season with everyone,” Amin said.

LAESECKE, Dorte Ewe August 23, 1941-April 7, 2018 Dorte Laesecke born August 23, 1941 in Berlin, Germany passed away unexpectedly on April 7, 2018 at the age of 76. Dorte and her husband Ernst moved to Canada in 1971 and settled in Richmond, BC raising their three children Ronald (Sharon), Patrick and Stephanie (Chris). Dorte and Ernst worked numerous jobs to help make better lives for their family. For Dorte, she spent much of her career with United Realty Ltd. She loved to travel, first with her family, then later after her children were grown with her husband Ernst and after his passing in 2001, to visit her family. In recent years Dorte’s greatest love was spending time with her six grandchildren Savannah, Isabella, Elizabeth, Nicholas, Zachary and Katherine. Dorte is survived by her sister Heike (Rudiger), her children and her grandchildren. Condolences for the family may be left at www.kearneyfs.com.
