Two nights and two five-hour, back-to-back council meetings on modular housing for the homeless. It was long and exhausting, but by the end of the saga, I found myself feeling inspired — and a little bit emotional.

As a reporter, I’m expected to get the facts, and the fact was the proposal passed. But, strangely, I was less interested in the result than in how one community as “us” (not “you” and “I”) had a discussion.

5

When was the last time you sat down and listened to someone who had completely different views?

Most of us tend to speak with, and listen to, like-minded people. Yet, last week, hundreds of people in Richmond heard different, and often times, opposing voices at meetings at Richmond city hall.

Many shared their views on what they believe Canadian values are and what it means to be a Richmond resident — an important part of which is to not leave people behind.

11

8

Some told how they, or someone they knew, came back from the brink, thanks to the support of others.

Meanwhile, opponents of the project explained why they have concerns and pleaded for understanding.

People listened to each other — with respect.

I have been reporting on the modular housing proposal since the very first open house back in February. The whole thing had a rough start with, what turned out to be, an irrelevant kicking incident.

Following that open house, hundreds, if not thousands, of residents in the Brighouse neighbourhood started protesting the project on social media, through letters, rallies, forums and flyers.

A counter-group in favour of the project was then formed to fight for its approval.

19

People were fearful: Was Richmond becoming divided?

Was it already?

But that’s not the whole story.

The group opposing the project held a forum to explain their concerns. Activist De Whalen and other project supporters attended to listen and try to understand. Later, Whalen told me she walked away “feeling inspired” by the opposition’s desire to have conversations.

A third group was then formed and stepped up to host a meeting for both sides along with local authorities. Although it was interrupted by some angry audience members towards the end, the meeting was still considered helpful.

Organizers from the two sides also tried to arrange coffee to look for common ground. In fact, by the time we came to the final meetings at city hall, I saw some of them greeting each other with waves and friendly smiles while holding opposing signs.

27

29

From there, I’ve seen hope for our community.

We can be very different, but as long as we keep talking and getting to know each other, the bridge is being built and eventually, we will get there.

What do you think of council’s approval of the homeless housing?

Sjarifin Ganief

Mike Adamson

I support any projects that help the homeless and help people less fortunate or in difficult situations.

There is not going be a particular neighbourhood or area that’s gonna satisfy everybody. The main thing is to get started doing those things.

I really think we do need to be looking after the homeless people.

There is a big problem, and we do need to find solutions. If somebody is doing something, that’s great.

I think it’s good. We need to do more as housing is so expensive in the Lower Mainland. Somethingneeds to be done. I think the location is great, near transit and near shopping for groceries.

Council had a ‘Doug Ford moment’ in ALR debate Dear Editor, Richmond city council’s Robert Ford moment: How to understand a majority decision by Richmond city councillors not to reduce house size which will have, as a first consequence, the paving over of farmland?

John Ibbitson’s opinion column in Saturday’s Globe and Mail (May 12, 2018) on Doug Ford’s popularity in Ontario brought new light for me on how to understand why some of the competing values and social responsibilities underpinning the debates in Richmond on farmland policy have fallen on deaf ears.

While council’s majority vote not to control the proliferation of huge houses is rationalized as “giving farmer’s what they need,” I would argue that a visionary, community sensitive public policy, with ears wide open, would be striving to balance competing interests.

In practice, this would mean “give farmers what they need, not necessarily what they want. And

who are doing well and living in suburban communities. People who decry Mr. Ford as a Canadian version of Donald Trump fail to reckon with the fact that Ford populism is not nativist. It embraces the more socially and economically conservative attitudes of people who came to Ontario from India, the Philippines, China and other developing countries.”

equally “give environmentally concerned citizens and young farmers what they need, but not necessarily what they want.”

Farmland owners and the developers to whom they will sell are the complete winners. Council abdicated its role to adjudicate among competing interests by showing its populist and conservative values: individual freedom of choice and ownership rights over installing regulatory protections for the conservation and rational stewardship of the ALR; promotion of displays of wealth over zoning standards for reasonable and adaquate house size; apathy on a plan to enable young farmers to rent land.

Council has opted for a “pave it” not “plant it” position.

You don’t have to come from outside Canada to hold as your values: lower taxes, smaller government, fewer regulations, continuing commitments to public health care and education, but little interest in environmental issues.

The consequence of the deafness of the majority of Richmond city councillors has been to push Richmond out of the zone of reasoned public policy debate with respect to the values driving the design of our community, and has handed Richmond’s future over to developers.

Equally, council’s own methods have fuelled an us/them mentality.

Why? What Ibbitson writes of Ford’s Ontario may apply to an as yet unnoticed wave in Richmond: Ford “appears to be popular with many immigrant voters, specifically those

A reason to wait until 65 for your CPP I often hear people saying that they want to apply for their CPP benefits at age 60, because they don’t know whether the pension will be available for them if they wait until 65.

Well earlier this week, the CPP Investment Board released its report of its performance for the fiscal year ended March 31st. The investment return, net of costs, was 11.6%, which left the value of the CPP total assets at the all-time high of $356.1 billion.

A few years ago, the Federal Government’s Chief Actuary opined that the CPP was sustainable for another 75 years. At that time, the CPP was worth about $130 billion, less than half what it is worth now.

There are flaws in our CPP system, to be sure. But running out of money is not one of them.

So if you need the money at age 60, you are free to apply for your CPP benefits. But don’t apply just because you think the CPP won’t be around in five years!

TMH debate over, tensions not so much Dear Editor, The debate regarding the supportive housing for the homeless has been a social phenomenon from the get-go. The stage opened with a predominantly non-Chinese group supporting and a predominantly Chinese group opposing the project.

What is also strange is the almost unconditional support from one side and the almost unconditional opposition from the other. While surely there are those with conditional support or opposition, somehow their voices were rarely heard. That is a pity since these two subgroups have much in common and would have made the debate a lot less polarized.

I am not suggesting that supportive housing for the most vulnerable is not worthy of our support. I am merely saying it is strange that a provincial NDP proposal was taken hook and sinker by a predominantly right wing community and council, despite far more citizens among the 80 or so speakers at the May 17 and 18 council meetings expressing concerns.

On the surface, this issue is over. Below the surface, though, those with concerns are unhappy since their questions and suggestions could have been addressed by a proposed time extension. However, that was voted down.

So, despite nine community forums, many concerned citizens felt they were talked at rather than talked with. They still cannot understand why the city could vote yes to having Raincity overseeing the management of the housing without first reviewing the agreement between Raincity and local service providers.

Unfortunately, the debate has added sparks to the smoldering tension and suspicions left from a largely un-reconciled relationship between people groups in B.C. history, the more recent anti-Chinese flyers, the anti-immigration banner above a Richmond overpass, etc.

What remains unasked is whether each side’s assumption of possessing a superior culture will lead to compromise; whether on this, on language used in public signs, etc.

As Pentecost is about reversing the confusion of tongues among the biblical chosen people who wanted to reach God by their own ways, we should see the many cultures in Richmond as a chance to reverse and restore relationship in this post-colonial era; the opportunity to use a common language to communicate the common good, to reconcile, and to liberate each other from our respective cultural baggage.

Walk helps honour memories Dear Editor, On behalf of the Alzheimer Society of B.C., I would like to thank Richmond and South Delta residents for supporting the Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s on Sunday, May 6. We helped ignite a movement to show that people affected by dementia should not have to walk alone.

Our ultimate vision is a world without dementia. That world begins with a more dementia-friendly society, where people affected by dementia are acknowledged, supported and included.

Richmond and South Delta’s event honoured Bryan Springgay, who graciously gave the gift of his story. By giving a face and voice to dementia, Bryan and his family have helped reduce stigma associated

with the disease.

Together, we make memories matter. So far, more than $850,000 has been raised.

Our goal is to raise $1 million, and we would like to invite you to be a part of this. Donations for the event can be made online at WalkForAlzheimers.ca. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s event on Sunday, May 5, 2019. If you are interested in a volunteer role on the planning committee for next year’s event, please visit WalkForAlzheimers.ca.

Homicide investigators were in Richmond last week after a body was found in the 16600 block of Dyke Road, close to No. 5 Road.

The victim has since been identified as 42-yearold Gregory Joseph Scuby, a resident of Richmond.

His death has been ruled a homicide.

Richmond RCMP were called to the area around 11 a.m. last Thursday morning after a passerby came across the body of a man lying on a dirt road.

The death appeared suspicious and police said at the time that the victim was well-known to them.

The same day, RCMP turned the investigation over to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

“I urge those with information about Mr. Scuby’s murder to come forward and speak with IHIT,” said Cpl. Frank Jang, of IHIT. Anyone with information regarding the investigation is asked to call the IHIT tipline at at 1-877-551IHIT (4448) or by email at IHITtipline@RCMP-grc. gc.ca.

Richmond RCMP are asking for victims of a suspected serial sex offender to come forward after he allegedly struck again last week on a bus.

Police have appealed to possible victims of 74-year-old Leonardo B French, who, on Tuesday, May 15, around 5:50 p.m., reportedly groped a young girl on a bus in Richmond’s downtown core.

Two good Samaritans — both young males — followed the suspect after he exited the bus. The Coast Mountain bus driver was also instrumental in assisting the victim till the police arrived.

Shortly before 6 p.m., Richmond Mounties found and arrested the suspect in the 5000 block of Granville Avenue, near Lynas Lane, where he was taken into custody without incident.

The victim, according to police, was shaken but physically unharmed.

Over the years, French, of Richmond,

In 2003, the Richmond News reported how police appealed for more witnesses and victims of a 59-year-old Da Vancouver — as he was called then — after he was charged with sexually assaulting a teenaged girl aboard a transit bus heading from Vancouver to Richmond.

Police said at the time that French appeared to be preying on ESL students and people that look like immigrants because he believes they will be unlikely to come forward.

Later the same year, such was the concern of police when Da Vancouver was released pending his trial, the RCMP issued a warning to the public.

And that same month (November 2003) — because Da Vancouver’s charges were published in the local newspapers — he failed in a bid to buy into a family-oriented condo complex on Ackroyd Road, near Cooney Road, where he was renting, after members of the strata council became aware of the allegations.

This week, he was charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of sexual touching of a person under 16 years of age.

French has been in custody since his arrest and was due in court this week.

Leonardo French, 77, has been charged with groping a young girl on a bus.

Richmond RCMP believe there may be other victims, possibly using public transit, who have not yet contacted police.

Onni saga closes with $5.5M deal Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

The saga of rezoning Steveston’s paved, waterfront boardwalk at Imperial Landing has drawn to a close.

In the near future, instead of walking by empty buildings, one may see the likes of a bank, grocery store, offices, a café and a hotel.

That’s because in exchange for $5.5 million from developer Onni Group, city council agreed Monday to rezone the six buildings for commercial purposes, including 32 hotel rooms in the two most easterly buildings, near Phoenix Pond.

According to the City of Richmond, the $5.5 million will be applied to a new Steveston Community Centre.

Two of nine council members objected to the deal. Coun. Harold Steves said on Twitter that council had “sold out” for a deal that results in zero amenities, while Coun. Carol Day stated any unique ideas for the area have been brushed aside for a “strip mall.”

Nevertheless, at Monday’s public hearing, the two sides settled on $5.5 million, the same amount of “land lift” determined appropriate by the late, land use economist Richard

Wozny in his report to council.

“We got 100 per cent of the lift,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie who emphasized timing was of the essence.

“I think the city held its ground and pushed this matter as far as reasonably could be done,” he said.

After five years of negotiations, the last issue to deal with was an amendment to April’s rezoning application that will ensure Onni places a 24/7 concierge at the hotel — which is to be situated on the bottom floors and will rent units for up to 90 days.

Since 1998, the City of Richmond has contemplated its vision for the waterfront site of BC Packers. About half the site, to the east, became condos and a waterfront park, while the other half sat empty until 2012 when Onni built six buildings under maritime-industrial zoning, which is intended for servicing the Village’s marine industry. However, the buildings were built to also accommodate commercial uses.

Since 2013, the developer had failed to lease the space for maritime use and hence the buildings sat empty. Critics charged Onni with stalling in order to wait the city out to gain lucrative commercial rezoning. Meanwhile, council had always demanded more money, as an exchange for such zoning

The City of Richmond will allow Onni to add commercial space and a 32-unit hotel in Steveston in exchange for money for a community centre. (which garners higher lease rates).

Local realtor Sean Lawson has stated the money should not be diverted to a new community centre, which should be paid for with general revenue. Instead, it should go to an additional improvement for the Village.

He and other merchants have long argued rezoning the site would change the nature of the local retail sector. Brodie said the hotel was seen as a compromise as it does not affect merchants and should bring more visitors to the area.

Onni runs similar hotels elsewhere, although it was fined $24,000 by the City of Vancouver last year for violating bylaws.

As such, skepticism of the deal remains.

“Still not sure if Richmond City Hall is run by developers? Look no further than Steveston’s newly approved Airbnb hotel,” said past NDP MLA candidate Kelly Greene, via Twitter.

Community activist and area resident John Roston said the contribution should have been closer to $11 million.

Cool new mobile freezer company launches in Richmond Caras and Dumond are also excited about offering a unique product to their clients: Capital Coolers’ portable coolers are unlike any others available in Vancouver, bringing temperatures down to -12 degrees. “These are true restaurant grade, used in the food industry,” Caras explains.

The coolers are especially helpful if a restaurant or hotel needs to preserve food when their systems break down during a renovation or even in the case of a natural disaster.

Many viewers of the hit TV show, Dragons’ Den, are impressed by the business ideas featured in the series. But few end up partnering with the entrepreneurs and opening branches of their businesses with them.

That’s exactly what happened for Andrew Caras and his fiancé Ronalee Dumond, who were so blown away by the idea for a portable walk-in freezer cooler presented by two firefighters on the show, that they ended up reaching out to the entrepreneurs and launching a branch of their business.

Caras and Dumond are now the proud owners of Capital Cooler Rentals’ third location in Richmond (the other two are in Regina and Ottawa, with others pending). Servicing the Lower Mainland, their fleet of walkin freezer coolers are available for hire to provide food and beverage storage for private and public outdoor events including music festivals, weddings, sports tournaments, and more. Capital Cooler Rentals also supports restaurants, hotels and cafes

when the establishment’s own equipment breaks down or when they undergo renovations. Coolers are available for rent in daily, three-day, weekly, or monthly increments. They deliver an empty unit to a site, pickup after the event is done, then thoroughly clean them for the next client.

The units are very quiet as they are completely electrical, using a standard 110-volt receptacle.

In this new venture with his partner, they are looking forward to providing their clients with the top-notch customer service. “(While working for any employer) I always provided the highest level of customer service which my customers always recognized, but few times by management,” he explains, “and now, this high-level of service will be recognized by all our clients, in a business WE own!”

With the company’s support at the Vaisakhi Festival, booking at Steveston’s Salmon Day Festival and a lineup of tentative bookings supporting some of Vancouver’s most high-profile events, it’s safe to say Capital Coolers can expect their first summer in business to be a sizzling hot one, or in this case, pretty “COOL”.

To be eligible for the Contest, an individual must: (a) be a legal resident of the province of British Columbia; and (b) have reached the age of 16 years at the time of entry.

And certain parts of Richmond — such as west Richmond and Steveston — show a particularly high level of community connectedness in the report.

Having a sense of community belonging and having people to confide in can, according to the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) report have an “enormous effect on our health” and is as important to measure as smoking and physical activity.

Social connection is linked to people’s ability to deal with stress, and those who have positive relationships also have healthier behaviours such as being physically active and eating fruits and vegetables.

Studies have shown people with poor social connection have 50 per cent greater risk of premature death than those with stronger connections; an effect as strong as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

To better understand this emerging public health issue, My Health My Community asked residents about two key indicators of social connection: Sense of community belonging and how many people they have to confide in.

“My Health My Community is an effective tool to assess the health of our population,” said VCH’s medical health officer Dr. Réka Gustafson.

“By measuring it, we are highlighting social connec-

tion, an important area of focus for all of us who are interesting in improving the health of people in our communities.”

According to the report, those who have at least seven people they can confide in are 70 per cent more likely to report good health and 3.4 times more likely to be in good mental health.

However, the survey also found that 43 per cent of residents in the VCH region (which includes Richmond) and Fraser Health (south of the river) reported “low” or “very low” sense of community belonging.

(Poor social connection has) an effect as strong as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Additional highlights from the report include: Women were 19 per cent more likely to have a strong sense of community and 54 per cent more likely to have 4+ people to confide in; Income has no association with a strong sense of community belonging; People who report that their neighbourhood has pathways for cycling or walking, well-maintained sidewalks, amenities within walking distance, access to fruits and vegetables, less traffic, attractive natural sites and feeling safe walking after dark were 2.7 times more likely to report a strong sense of community belonging.

“They operate mostly in the downtown core, because they can move around quickly and can cover a lot of ground, plus, you don’t hear them coming,” explained Hwang.

They spot a shady deal going down behind a building and decide to investigate.

“They are very discreet and can track shoplifters, car criminals, just about anything and they give medical assistance to people who’ve collapsed, as well.”

The two suspects then break rank and split in opposite directions, sparking the pair of officers into a bike versus foot pursuit.

Do the officers stick together? Which one of the two suspects do the officers go after? Is he armed? And which side should they close him down from?

And it’s not just a case of whomever is wearing shorts that day is the one who goes on bike patrol.

The ones who make bike patrol, said Hwang, tend to have a specific set of skills.

These were all factors the officers had to evaluate and act on in the space of a few seconds at Richmond RCMP headquarters on No. 5 Road last week.

The 15 Mounties were being examined and tested in their bid to become part of the Richmond detachment’s Bike Patrol Unit, one of the very few full-time of its kind in B.C. Two of them will make the team in Richmond, boosting the unit’s four-officer complement by 50 per cent, while the rest, if they pass, will be deployed to neighbouring detachments across the province.

Throughout the training regime, the candidates have been at Iona Beach, on the shooting range, negotiating stairs, in the classroom and going through fitness testing, as well as

“They’re usually very good at finding things and discovering things; they can be very selfsufficient,” he said.

A pair of RCMP bike patrol candidates (hi-vis vests) “arrest” a would-be drug dealer during their tests at the Richmond detachment. Alan Campbell photo being presented with tactical scenarios.

“The candidates do not know what to expect and they will be marked on how they deal with the situation,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang, as two candidates pursued a would-be drug dealer around the back of the police HQ. “They have to consider how they use their force intervention options and how they use their partner and how they use cover or shielding. “(During training) they’re learning how to

change flats on the fly, how to fall properly, how to descend stairs quickly and were tested on how to shoot while using the bike; there are very specific techniques to utilize while on a bike.

“If they’re dropped into a problem area, they usually know the players. A lot of them are more seasoned with a lot of service behind them.

“And you don’t want to be in any crossfire situation, so you have to consider what side of a suspect you’re approaching them from.”

“Our best piece of equipment is generally our head and our mouth. You can resolve a lot of conflict and situations without the use of anything else.”

Richmond RCMP’s bike unit, added Hwang, can be deployed right out of the HQ, at No. 5 Road just south of Steveston Highway, or up to eight bikes can be loaded into a van

When the new Richmond Community Police Station No. 3 opens up at Granville Avenue and Gilbert road, the soon-to-be-inflated Bike Patrol Unit is going to base itself there.

NEXT IDEAL PROTEIN SEMINAR MAY 31 AT 6PM

WEIGHT LOSS SEMINAR Pharmasave Richlea Square

One of the most common New Year’s resolutions in Canada is to live a healthier lifestyle. Each January, people make the steadfast commitment that this year they will improve their fitness and start eating healthier. Though, as many of us have experienced, it can be a difficult task to do on your own.

At Pharmasave Richlea Square, the pharmacists and medical professionals want to help you achieve these health goals. With a medically supervised weight loss program called Ideal Protein, they have already helped numerous community members lose extra weight and taught them about the changes needed to maintain their weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.

Through monthly seminars, the Richmond-based Pharmasave educates people about how and why the Ideal Protein weight loss program works. “It’s a low carb, low fat, protein-based program that you supplement with Ideal Protein foods,” said Lina Ooi, the founder and co-owner of the pharmacy. With this ketogenic diet, Ooi said, “you get the protein you need to maintain muscle mass while keeping the calories low.”

Ooi, who is also an Ideal Protein coach, explained by cutting out carbohydrates, your body enters a phase called ketosis, during which it burns optimal fat. For every gram of fat you lose, you burn 9 calories. Ooi said, “this is double the energy that your body gets from burning carbohydrates.” Furthermore, she added, “when people are

in ketosis and burn fat, they tend to feel great and have a lot more energy.” She estimates past dieters have lost between two and five pounds per week.

With over 80 different food options and products, ranging from soup to chips and smoothies – some of which can be sampled at the monthly seminars – this weight loss program is both protein focused and protein driven.

Those who sign up for Ideal Protein also get the full support of the coaches and pharmacists who work alongside doctors to ensure a healthy, safe, and successful weight loss journey.

“It works really well with our pharmacy concept in terms of health and wellness,” Ooi said. In fact, obesity is one of the leading causes of several medical conditions.

For those dieters with pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes or joint pain, Ooi said that a lot of those issues are mitigated once they lose the weight. In addition, Pharmasave Richlea Square is also involved with a UBC Study for Type-2 Diabetics that utilizes Ideal Protein as a diet intervention to improve blood-glucose control. For anyone who is a Type-2 Diabetic and interested in this Study, please contact Pharmasave Richlea Square to see if you qualify!

Casino earns less Animal shelter planned by $5 million of gaming revenue would go toward paying off a loan for the new Minoru pool and seniors’ centre, presently under construction.

Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

The City of Richmond has seen a 4.5 per cent decline in gaming revenue over last year, resulting in a $1.3 million loss to its infrastructure budget.

In 2017, the city raked in $16.8 million from River Rock Casino and Resort after budgeting for $18.1 million. The 2017 paycheque from the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is the lowest in five years. In 2016 the city took in $17.6 million.

The budgeted amount of $18.1 million was deemed by the city as a conservative estimate in 2015 after revenues peaked at $20.1 million in 2014.

The city’s 10 per cent share of casino revenue goes to a number of reserve accounts. City council has used the money in various ways, although the majority of it is intended for one-time capital projects and expenditures, as to not impact the city’s operating budget and thus property taxes.

Surplus money is typically held in the “major capital community facility replacement” reserve account.

2015 marked the first of 10 years where-

As of 2016, the city has also diverted more money to community/social grants but yet to actually increase those grants.

As such a reserve (“grant provision”) account was created. The account now has $1.2 million.

Since 2004 the city has earned $202.2 million from the casino, of which $50 million was spent on the Richmodn Oval.

This year’s consolidated financial statement for 2017 offered no explanation for the decline, although past declines had been attributed to less activity in high-limit Chinese baccarat.

The city has recently objected to a new casino in Delta, citing crime and traffic concerns.

In 2015, BCLC launched an anti-money laundering initiative that looked at B.C. casinos, including the River Rock.

More recently, Attorney General David Eby, launched an independent investigation into what’s been dubbed the “Vancouver Model,” whereby Chinese and Latin American drug money filters through B.C. casinos and into real estate and other local investments.

The City of Richmond is working on details of a new animal shelter that has received an $8 million funding approval.

At Tuesday’s general purposes committee meeting, city staff were directed by council to include more information in an animal shelter report, including options to add some additional multipurpose space or a space for holding injured wildlife on a temporary basis.

Last December, council approved the funding of $8 million to replace the current animal shelter.

The existing animal shelter will be demolished and replaced with a new, more modern, facility on the existing site.

The new facility will include rooms for dogs, cats, small animals and rabbits, an outdoor area for dogs and farm animals and an adoption room for visitors to interact with animals prior to adoption.

Councillors also wanted to consider options to allow for the future expansion of the shelter to meet emerging needs.

The existing 4,590 sq. ft. facility was constructed in 1978 at 12071 No.5

“[It] was built when the city’s population was approximately 80,000. Since then, the city’s population has grown to over 200,000 and the number of animals has similarly grown,” the report detailed.

Eyal Lichtmann, CEO of the Richmondbased Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS) that runs the shelter, said the replacement is “definitely urgent.”

“The shelter is outdated, for both health reasons and for the need to upgrade the infrastructure to accommodate more animals,” said Lichtmann.

He noted that when the current shelter was first built, it was considered a kill shelter, where animals were brought in to be euthanized.

“That’s not the way our shelter operates anymore, it now operates as an adoption centre. There’s a whole different infrastructure to do that.”

RAPS had proposed to move the animal hospital, which opened in February, to the shelter after its current lease runs out but that proposal was rejected by council.

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said there is no timeline for the report coming back to council.

Massive mall plan on view The public is set to learn more about the single-largest residential redevelopment in Richmond’s history, to date.

CF Richmond Centre, in partnership with GBL Architects and Shape Properties, is proposing to build 2,000 apartments and 440,000 square feet of street-oriented retail space at the south end of the mall.

Public meetings are planned for later this month and an online forum will allow people to weigh in on the monumental plan that could commence as early as next year and take years to construct.

Both the Sears building and adjacent parkade will be demolished and about a dozen towers will be constructed in a horseshoe-shaped manner, between No. 3 Road and Minoru Boulevard.

Initial plans call for the apartments to be connected to municipal district geothermal energy, significantly lowering their energy footprint over time.

Such a plan has required negotiations on the part of the city, as the site was pre-zoned for such density back in the 1980s. This has put the city in a weaker bargaining position when it comes to securing community amenities.

However, the proposed development includes new streets and other features that do require city approval, so it is through that process that staff are working with the developer to address community objectives, explained city spokesman Ted Townsend.

Richmond BC - Lansdowne Centre • May 31-June 3

Aside from geothermal energy, preliminary negotiations have also garnered five per cent (of floor area) of the development for affordable housing (rent set to income via legal covenants) in the form of two separate towers.

Typically, with rezoning plans, the city would require 10 per cent of the development for affordable housing, of which the units would be spread out, as to avoid the likes of “poor doors” (separate entrances) or “poor towers.”

The development also proposes 50 per cent “family-friendly” housing, meaning half the total units will be two or more bedrooms.

There are no requirements for a developer to do such a thing with market housing in Richmond.

Rooftop courtyards and a small, public plaza will be among the new amenities.

Issues such as these may be discussed with the developer and city staff at an open house at the mall’s galleria Sunday, May 27, from 1-4 p.m. and Thursday, May 31, from 5-8 p.m. Information boards will be in the mall from May 22 to June 3. Opinions can be shared with staff at LetsTalkRichmond.ca.

Such information will be shared with city council.

Minister Patricia Hadju, left, and MP Joe Peschisolido, second left, met with members of the B.C. Muslim Association last week.

Hadju handed out 5,100 summer jobs in the Lower Mainland.

Graeme Wood Some employers in Richmond may have refused to take part in the Canada Summer Jobs program, however the federal government says it has nevertheless filled its quota of 437 student jobs in the city.

Canada’s Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, Patricia Hadju, was welcomed with open arms at the B.C. Muslim Association last week in Richmond, where local opposition MP Alice Wong previously stirred up controversy surrounding the Canada Summer Jobs program.

Hadju’s ministry had required employers to sign an attestation that they would respect individual human rights in Canada, as laid out by the

Charter of Rights and Canadian law — including reproductive rights, and the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of the sex, religion, race, gender identity and other factors.

Once an employer had done that, they would qualify for federal funding via Service Canada to hire a student for the summer.

Wong had written to Service Canada saying that she would not sign off on local Canada Summer Jobs Grant applications due to her opposition to the newly required attestation form, calling it a “politically motivated intervention.”

As a Richmond MP, Wong would have been able to help rank the qualifications of an employer, be it a nonprofit group or small business. For instance, an MP can sign off on a business that may not have qualified

with the default needs assessment set by Service Canada.

As such, those in the Richmond Centre riding were prioritized automatically.

B.C. Muslim Association advisor Bilal Cheema told Hadju the association had no problem with the attestation.

According to Wong’s office, some employers did, and refused to sign the document.

“We need to ensure that when students engage in summer work that they will not be asked to undermine the rights of Canadians,” said Hadju.

Wong’s assistant, Sacha Peter, reiterated to the Richmond News, via email, that Wong opposed the attestation as it “opens the door to government mandated values testing on other public funding and grants.”

Modular housing for homeless gets city council green light Two marathon meetings result in “yes” to controversial housing project Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

t

A

t a special council meeting Friday night, Richmond city council approved the controversial Brighouse neighbourhood modular housing project for homeless people.

After 10 hours, spanning two meetings, and listening to approximately 80 people, the majority of councillors decided it was time to make a decision.

All, except Chak Au, voted for the project.

City staff were authorized to negotiate terms for a five-year lease for the city-owned land where the modular housing will sit. Staff were also tasked with negotiating an agreement with BC Housing and RainCity outlining roles and responsibilities.

Staff will report back to council within two months.

Au argued that details of the agreement should be in place before the city approved the project at 7300 Elmbridge Way, but his idea was opposed by everyone else.

Many councillors expressed compassion for people experiencing homelessness and argued that providing homes for the most vulnerable shows caring, which is important for the health of the community.

“What we’ve done here is show some compassion to people,” said Coun. Derek Dang.

“If I wasn’t around and my kids were homeless, I want to have the thought that there will be a program in place to help them out.”

Members of the public packed city hall chambers last Thursday and Friday evenings to voice their approval and disapproval of temporary modular housing for the homeless on Elmbridge Way. Daisy Xiong photo Coun. Ken Johnston said a phrase from Stephen Hawking helped him make the final decision.

“He said, ‘we need to live together with tolerance and respect.’ In the name of tolerance, in the name of respect, I support this project,” said Johnston.

Coun. Linda McPhail said the provincial funding is an opportunity to build a project in Richmond for which “there is an urgent and vital need,” but council understands residents’ safety concerns and will work to address them.

“I know that there are many questions and concerns; I have them as well. We need to ensure there are regulatory processes when going forward. I’m committed to that,” she said.

Coun. Carol Day said the city will ensure there is an “optout” option if the program has any problems.

“Tonight is just the beginning. We will nail down the details.

If this doesn’t work out, we shut them down. You have my word,” said Day. Coun. Bill McNulty, who previously opposed the project because of its location in the city centre, changed his mind at the meeting and said the location is good.

Au, however, said he was disappointed there was no opportunity to discuss alternative options.

Brodie asked if it would be appropriate to locate the housing project in the industrial zone. Staff responded that this will be people’s home, not a shelter, so being in a residential area is important, adding the city hadn’t looked at any alternative options for the project.

McNulty then asked if it was possible to bar drug users from the facility. The answer was “no,” according to the BC Housing representative because “it is written in the program framework to include people with drug addiction and mental illness.” The program will provide clean injections for eligible drug injecting users.

When asked by council about safety risks the project might pose to the neighbourhood, Supt. Will Ng, from Richmond RCMP, said he doesn’t believe homeless people are responsible for the majority of crimes in the city and that the RCMP will work to ensure safety in that area.

Brodie added that after the temporary modular housing was built in Marpole, data showed a 24 per cent decrease in the neighbourhood crime rate.

Supporters of the project applauded council’s decision while opponents told the Richmond News they are disappointed and will continue to pay attention to how it unfolds.

The temporary modular housing project will provide 40 new homes with 24/7 supportive services for people experiencing homeless in Richmond.

‘Blow up’ the port (system): MP port,” said Peschisolido.

In Richmond, for instance, Peschisolido was called upon by residents to stop Harvest Power from polluting the air because it leases port land.

The port, under CEO Robin Silvester, has been controversial elsewhere in Richmond in past years, with approval of a Fraser River jet fuel terminal, acquisition of farmland, lobbying to remove the Massey Tunnel and oversight of aquatic habitat that has drawn skepticism from environmentalists.

(container shipping and storage), such as the prospective Ashcroft Terminal.

Ashcroft got a 9.2 million funding announcement last week for upgrades to rail tracks — a move applauded by Silvester in a statement last week.

The federal review by Transport Minister Marc Garneau intends to re-assess such matters, including the port’s governance structure and how to optimize transportation of goods.

“Basically [Silvester] wants to pave everything. Forget about farming, forget about industry; forget about tourism.

He wants to pave everything to plop containers.” said Peschisolido.

Earlier this month Silvester told the Financial Post the Pacific Gateway was “missing the boat” because of a lack of infrastructure surrounding the port. But Peschisolido laid blame on Silvester himself.

At a recent town hall, MP Joe Peschisolido called Port of Vancouver a “dinosaur” in need of restructuring for the greater national interest.

Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

The system by which Canadian ports operate needs to be “blown up,” in the words of Steveston-Richmond East Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido, who hosted a town hall at Steveston Community Centre Wednesday (May 15) to discuss the federal government’s Port Modernization Review.

Such a shakeup could mitigate a number of problems related to port activity in Richmond, whilst maintaining the obvious economic benefits of port development, argued Peschisolido.

Peschisolido told a small audience he doesn’t believe port authorities, particularly Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (Port of Vancouver), are working in unison for the greater national interest. Instead such entities, which are to manage federal land, are competing with one another and expanding their scope beyond the mandate laid out by government.

Furthermore, with its closed-door governance, the port has not been able to work effectively or symbiotically with local government, such as the City of Richmond, said Peschisolido.

Referring to Port of Vancouver lands: “They’ve become more development properties. They’re not stewards of the land acting as a landlord to facilitate the movement of goods coming in and out. They’ve gotten into the property development industry and business. And that’s not the purpose of a

“The reason we’ve missed the boat is because of him,” said Peschisolido.

While Silvester told the Post he is advocating for more infrastructure, Peschisolido said he is doing so, so long as the port controls it.

“They’re advocating for them to be the proponents and the builders and then the operators of terminals,” he said.

These treatments can often reduce symptoms the following year as well!

Call today for a consultaion with Dr Jheeta

He explained that Silvester has branched out into policy development with the sole focus of benefitting Port of Vancouver, whereby other industries, including agriculture, can become collateral damage.

Peschisolido wants to see Port of Prince Rupert develop more; he said there is no need for Roberts Bank Terminal II expansion in Delta.

“The port (of Vancouver) ought to be working with Prince Rupert in a cooperative, collective way,” he said.

“Every other port in the world has an integrated, collaborative approach with other ports,” said Peschisolido.

But Port of Vancouver said it does consider the capacity of other West Coast ports in its planning.

“Ultimately, however, shippers determine what options to choose, not port authorities,” said port spokesperson Daniele Jang.

She added that the port believes the current framework is working.

Peschisolido noted Port of Prince Rupert has grown immensely due to the convenience for shippers to get products from Asia to the United States via less busy northern railways.

“We should be having port operations across the province,” he said.

In order to free up land on the coast, Peschisolido said he, unlike Port of Vancouver, is an advocate of inland ports

Organized laundry room eases chore the wall. Shelves can be tucked into just about any space

Graeme Wood

Clean designs reduce clutter

RICHMOND NEWS

Simple, clean designs can be an asset in a laundry room. If budget and space permits, cabinetry built into the design will help keep items out of sight in the laundry room.

It’s a question more and more Richmond residents will need to tackle moving ahead: How do I make my apartment more spacious?

Incorporate a sink in the design

And if you are afforded a laundry room, the question may then become, to stack, or not to stack?

For the Sorin family, who recently moved into the Steveston area, in a roughly 800-square-foot, one bedroom plus openconcept den, one of the biggest questions was how to reformat their small laundry room.

The Sorins chose bigger, non-stacking appliances and will instead put shelving on top, to be used for storage space.

This frees up a lot of so-called “amenity space” for the rest of the apartment.

In addition to the side-by-side appliances, the Sorins also took the opportunity to redo the floors with linoleum.

But whatever you choose, the benefits of a dedicated laundry room abound. However, if that laundry room is disorganized you may have squandered any benefits.

The Sorin household chose side-by-side appliances instead of stackable units.

Depending on the needs and preferences of each homeowner, laundry room designs can be customized for convenience.

Let’s take a look at some of the factors involved: Employ vertical space Floor space may be at a premium in a laundry room, especially for those who want to devote as much space as possible to bulk-size washer and dryer units.

Therefore, utilizing wall space is key. Use shelving, wire racks, hooks, and other organizational tools to store items on

It is still a worthwhile idea to have a sink in the laundry room for rinsing out stains, handwashing items and having a go-to sink for messier cleanup. However this is also valuable space and a bathtub can do the job, too.

Use a tension rod A rod installed between two cabinets or across a narrow width of space in the laundry room is a handy spot to hang shirts or pants to prevent wrinkling. Repurposing a ladder and suspending it from the ceiling also creates a spot to hang clothes.

Slimmer washers and dryers may afford a sink.

Consider laundry room flooring

Keep lighting in mind

It’s important to select flooring materials that will not be damaged by contact with moisture or spills. Vinyl, tile and some composite products often make good laundry room floor materials.

Lighting can be important in the laundry room. Rely on task lighting, under-cabinet strip lighting and overhead lights as needed for efficiency.

Free orchestra tickets Doors Open to Lulu for Food Bank donors Island’s arts, heritage Graeme Wood

RICHMOND NEWS

RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s artist-in-residence Keely O’Brien will be among the many hosts of Doors Open Richmond, a two-day affair to highlight the city’s arts, heritage and culture.

One hundred free tickets are being offered for an upcoming orchestral evening, led by student musicians, in aid of the Richmond Food Bank.

The Music Encore Concert Society is teaming up with the Steveston-based World of Music and Arts to promote classical music for kids and youth and raise funds and food donations for the food bank.

They are hosting “Blossoming Harmonies” at Gateway Theatre — with talented children from World of Music playing with a professional orchestra — and are releasing 100 free tickets to those who drop off food and/or monetary donations before the June 3 event.

“Last year, the society hosted a similar, but smaller, event at Gateway, but it was so successful that the students wanted to do it again,” said Anna Vavilova, World of Music and Arts director.

“This time, they wanted a charitable side to it, so we made 100 of the 500 tickets free, in return for a food bank donation.”

World of Music students are getting set for charity concert.

If there is overwhelming demand to give donations, Vavilova said they may consider offering more free tickets.

“Blossoming Harmonies” is being billed as an “Orchestral Concertos Evening” including a “gala performance of 14 young pianists and vocalists” age eight to 18 with the symphony orchestra performing piano concertos

by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Grieg.

Donations can be dropped off at World of Music, unit 120, 6160 London Road, Monday to Friday, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

On Saturday, June 2 and Sunday, June 3 there will be 41 sites open to the public.

Among them is Branscombe House, where O’Brien lives to conduct community art workshops.

She will display Walking Atlas, an installation of handmade maps of Steveston that document arriving in a new home and neighbourhood. As well, the maps pinpoint overlooked details of Steveston.

O’Brien’s overall work is to explore how Richmondites create and define home and community.

Walking Atlas will be available each day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 4900 Steveston Highway.

Doors Open kicks off Friday, June 1 with an opening celebration at Seine Net Loft

Richmond’s artist-inresidence Keely O’Brien. at Britannia Shipyards. There, according to the city, you may enjoy live music, light refreshments and family crafts and activities, all while overlooking the picturesque Fraser River. Self-guided tours of the Our Coastal Connection exhibit are available.

Among the many activity-laden institutions open to the public at Doors Open are: The Sherman Armoury, London Heritage Farm, BC Ambulance Station 269 (3999 Williams Road), Terra Nova Pollinator Meadow and the Olympic Oval.

A lifetime of watercolour paintings of historic Richmond is being exhibited at Gateway Theatre for the first and last time.

The work is decades of dedication from retired art and math

teacher Fred John, 77, who modestly calls himself a teacher first and an artist second.

explained John, who’s also an historian and Gateway Theatre volunteer.

His 30-strong collection — which includes Finn Slough, Steveston Harbour and local heritage homes — is John’s first exhibit and likely his last.

“They are mostly based on slides I made way back in the day; the Finn Slough ones are from the 1960s, others from my lifetime of travels, including the Great Wall of China.”

“I’ve never had anything exhibited before; I never had the time until near retirement,”

John’s exhibit, which has no name, runs until the end of June.

Three ways professionals can be more efficient People with multiple hobbies recognize there are many great ways to spend one’s time.

But even people with plenty of ways to pass their time may find themselves wasting time each day, a phenomenon that seems to be growing.

In its 2014 Wasting Time at Work survey, Salary.com found that 89 per cent of participants acknowledged wasting time at work each day.

That marked a sharp increase from a year prior, when 69 per cent of workers surveyed reported wasting time at work.

Thirty-one per cent of workers surveyed admitted wasting roughly 30 minutes per day, while another 31 per cent estimated they waste around one hour each day.

Perhaps the most surprising finding from the survey was that four per cent of participants admitted they waste four or more hours, or at least half a typically eight-hour workday, at work each day.

Some people might be wasting time out of sheer boredom, but many may be able to trace all those squandered minutes and hours to inefficiency.

For those who count themselves among the latter group, the following tips may help them become more efficient and stop wasting so much time.

1. Make better use of your commute Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the average worker spent 26 minutes traveling to work, the most recent year for which the USCB has data.

That marks a nearly 20 per cent increase in average commute time since 1980. Things aren’t much better in Canada, where the National Household Survey found that the average commuter

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME No referrals needed

2017

spends just over 25 minutes traveling to work each day. People who commute via public transportation can use the time they spend going to and from the office to answer emails, review schedules or even work on projects.

Commuters who drive themselves to work can consider switching to public transportation or, if possible, move closer to their offices so they spend less time sitting in their vehicles, where they have no choice but to be unproductive.

2. Stop multitasking Information is now seemingly always at our fingertips thanks to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.

While these devices may theoretically allow workers to become more productive, research suggests otherwise. Professor, researcher and author Gloria Mark, of the University of California, Irvine, says that activity switching and being frequently interrupted, including selfinterruptions like checking social media and email, can lead people to develop short attention spans. That inability to focus for extended periods of time can adversely affect efficiency.

3. Embrace scheduling Schedules can help professionals in much the same way that grocery lists help consumers at the grocery store.

When visiting a grocery store without a shopping list, shoppers are bound to forget items, necessitating follow-up visits to the store, and waste time wondering what they need.

Without schedules in an office environment, workers may allow time to idle away because there are no deadlines motivating them to complete projects.

Richmond City looking to make progress in B.C. Baseball’s 15U AAA level Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Contending for the championship at their annual Victoria Day Weekend Wood Bat Tournament was never a realistic goal for the Richmond City Chuckers. Getting better each game certainly was.

The hosts quickly fell out of gold medal contention at the 12-team tournament that brought many of the top Bantam AAA 15U teams in the province over five days to Blundell Park. Richmond opened with a loss to Ridge Meadows then fell to the Parkland Twins on Saturday afternoon, one of three Alberta teams that made the trek to B.C. The Chuckers are guided by Scott Lunny who has stepped up after enjoying considerable success Richmond City Baseball’s younger age levels. He admits putting this tournament together was quite the task.

“It was a huge undertaking,” he said. “Our parents have been good and we have the support of

2018

our association as well with guys coming from other divisions to help out. But it’s really been the parents stepping up and volunteering. They have been doing some raffles and stuff to hopefully raise some money for the program too.

“I think (former head coach/GM) Alex Klenman did a really good job starting this tournament and establishing a relationship with the Alberta teams.

There were in on it right away and wanted to come out here again.”

As for the Chuckers, Lunny is dealing with a rebuilding year after a 2017 season that ended with a loss in B.C. Baseball’s provincial championship game. It was that performance and Richmond City’s reputation that put his young squad in the newly formed top tier and the league tried to create more parity this season. The result is a 3-16 record heading into this week’s play and Richmond City looking beyond the final scores for progress.

“This is a very young team with not a lot of returning players,” added Lunny following the loss to Parkland. “We are happy to play games like this where

“Our goal is to keep the program going, keep this tournament going and keep (RCBA) having a high level community baseball program all the way through college prep.”

The West Coast Cardinals captured the tournament with 13-2 win over Cowichan on Monday afternoon.

Their run to the title included a semi-final victory over the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s Bantam North Shore Twins and a quarter-final triumph over B.C. Baseball tier one rival Delta Tigers. Both by 1-0 scores.

Even with the new tiers in place, the Tigers and Cardinals are running away from the rest of the teams in their division with 16-0 and 13-1 records respectively. It has B.C. Baseball officials looking at restructuring the top 15U flight again for the 2019 season, this time creating regional teams, similar to what B.C. Hockey has done with its major midget league.

McMath taking momentum to provincials Richmond schools will be well-represented at next week’s championships in Langley Richmond will be well-represented at next week’s B.C. Secondary Schools Track and Field Championships in Langley thanks to a strong showing at the zone qualifying meet.

The McMath Wildcats’ impressive depth was showcased at Burnaby Central which hosted the Richmond/New West/Burnaby Zone Championships.

The Steveston school swept all three divisions — Grade 8, Junior (9-10) and Senior — thanks to excellent balance with as many wins in throws and jumping as their usual strength on the track.

The Wildcats were led by Kajaks club athletes Carson Bradley, Liam McLeod, Selin Tasdemir, Claire Bosma and Alicia Loto. Vicki Wideski was also a force winning the triple jump, shot put and discus events.

The McNeill Ravens continue to demonstrate gains in their program, especially in the boys’ divisions and at the Grade 8 level. Seniors JJ Bachmeier and Enrico Esteban led their school to a strong finish.

Other notables were Josh Woolgar from Richmond Christian with a pair of wins in distance running, and Burnett’s long jumper Eric Che, recovering from an injury that almost kept him

out of the meet.

Here’s a rundown of the Richmond winners at the regional meet. The provincials run from May 31 to June 2 at McLeod Stadium.

Flag football’s popularity continues to soar day at the same venue. The two-month season will conclude in a couple weeks at the B.C. Provincial Football Association’s Flag Football Championships in Kelowna. The event is strictly optional.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

At least one version of football for kids is bursting at the seams in Metro Vancouver and beyond.

The flag version also includes levels beyond the VMFL for elite players, including provincial teams playing for national championships sanctioned by Football Canada.

Certainly, concussion awareness in recent years has hurt registration numbers for the traditional tackle leagues. Associations have since been working hard to ensure proper tackling techniques are taught with training and certification of coaches required. The Vancouver Metro Football League has also decided to drop contact at the Atom level (for eight-and-nine-year-olds) altogether.

What VMFL clubs don’t have to worry about is interest in flag football which has reached staggering numbers and is attracting athletes from all sports.

That was evident recently at Hugh Boyd Park which saw the Richmond Raiders host one of the VMFL regular season jamborees.

In what had to be the biggest sporting event in the city this year, over 180 teams took to the mini fields with all of Boyd’s turf and grass fields fully utilized.

It was easy to see why the sport is so ap-

The popularity in flag football has resulted in the Richmond Raiders fielding 10 teams this season, ranging from the U19 to the U10 divisions, according to club president Aarron Thompson.

The greatest representation comes at the U12 and U14 levels where Richmond has six teams participating. These two divisions feature a whopping 98 entries.

pealing.

The five-on-five format means all players have to be engaged on every single play.

The foot work — whether it be running pass routes or providing one-on-one defensive coverage — makes it a terrific cross-training activity for such other sports as hockey, lacrosse and basketball. As does the eye and hand coordination required for catch-

Thompson added most of the club’s fall season players participate in flag football, as well as kids who have never played before. Those are the potential candidates the Raiders and other VMFL clubs are trying to attract to the tackle version of the game.

At least they know the interest in the sport is certainly there.

TRUTH IN EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the: Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711 Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email: inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
