NEWS - Burkville home goes up in flames - Hong Guo announces her bid to run for mayor with controversial video 17 STEVESTON Walking tours vignettes brings Village alive 22 COMMUNITY - National yo-yo champ the youngest ever - Iranian cafe serves up World Cup buffet 35 SPORTS Carson Bradley led the way for Richmond athletes at the provincial championships

Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

Well, nothing like saying it straight up.

At a recent event where lawyer Hong Guo officially announced her bid to run for mayor of Richmond, a video played that included the following Mandarin narration (translated):

5

“For a long time, Chinese have been modest and obeying the law. However, the right to equality, happiness and democracy didn’t arrive as expected. Our voice is ignored; our rights are obliterated. We must take action now; actively take part in the politics; stand up bravely. Support the Chinese candidate, who will speak on your behalf, with your vote.

Today, Richmond politics has finally heard a Chinese voice, Hong Guo….”

Rights obliterated? Equality, happiness and democracy didn’t arrive as expected? Really?

I don’t deny we are far from an egalitarian society, nor do I dispute the fact racism is alive and well in this city. But to say a group well represented in the business community and supported by numerous self-serving community organizations, living in one of the wealthiest municipalities in Canada is experiencing an obliteration of its rights is...well...questionable.

22

The video goes on to explain how Guo was ripped off by her employees in November 2016. And while that was bad enough, what really victimized her were the ways in which the bank and police dealt with the issue. It was that alleged institutional incompetency that she says showed her what a chaotic state our government is apparently in and motivated her to run for office.

So, how to unpack all this…

First off, Guo is running on a platform of change and stands by the claims that our institutions are in need of an overhaul.

Fair enough, she wouldn’t be the first politician to run on that plank. But targeting Chinese voters and inciting a sense of ethnic injustice is more than a little problematic.

17

Guo denies responsibility for the video and said the language is “inappropriate.” She claims the video was made by her supporters but not her campaign team.

She didn’t know what would be in a video in which she appears and was made to play at her campaign launch?

But while she may distance herself from the video, she’s quite candid about targeting Chinese voters and hosting campaign events conducted in Chinese languages only.

To be fair, strengthening one’s base is common practice at this stage in the game, as is taking a hardline with supporters and softening it for general consumption.

Even so, there is a serious danger in exciting this kind of race-based politics. The narration goes on to say, “Only Chinese people can understand what Chinese people want.”

35

26

It’s true, we bring our unique lived experiences to politics, which means genuine democratic representation requires a plurality of identities — ethnic, gender, sexual, class or generational. But the tone of this video is simply us versus them.

Greater diversity on city council (Chinese and more) would be wonderful, but race baiting is a whole other thing. It’s offensive to all sides and only brings out our worst selves.

Do you approve or disapprove of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion?

Justin Mackey

My intuition is from the environment, it’s bad but in terms of jobs and the economy it could help. It’s inbetween but I’ll say I’m more of a ‘no’ because of the environment.

In the long run I wouldn’t support it right away. There are a lot of issues we don’t see; if there’s a leak, who is going to pay for it?

No. Primarily my first concern is environmental issues; I don’t believe they’ve addressed those.

They have not explained, in any form, that should there be an accident of any form they cannot clean it up. And it would last 100 years.

They aren’t looking at our grandchildren and that upsets me.

STUDENT

I’m sort of impartial. I know the federal government is pushing it and our B.C. government is sort of against it. They want to make sure an oil spill can’t happen. But stuff like that, sometimes it can’t be prevented. Financially it would be good for us and ease things with Alberta.

No. I really worry about our coastline and the inadequecy of the elements to protect against a potential spill. And it’s not even a potential spill because it will happen. I don’t think there’s any preparation. I am not convinced (of the Oceans Protection Plan). We need to look at other energy sources.

If they say they are ready and can prove the pipeline will not pollute the ocean or the environment then I think it’s OK. To be honest, if the government has more money they can make it better for everyone to live in this area. So, if they say it’s secure to use, then go ahead.

CANADA’S BIGGEST LITTLE BIRTHDAY PARTY SINCE 1945!

9:00PM

8:30 AM—10:30 PM STEVESTON VILLAGE

Ever watched, open-mouthed as Heather Ogden, principal dancer of the National Ballet of Canada, executed a perfect pirouette? You, and your kids, can literally follow in her footsteps if you take lessons at the school that trained her, and dozens of internationally famous artists: the Richmond Academy of Dance.

The school was established 31 years ago by Artistic Directors Heather Joosten-Fair and Annette Jakubowski, and offers recreational and professional lessons in classical ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, modern, tap, musical theatre, Pilates, hip-hop, experimental anatomy, acting and voice. There are also ballet and tap classes for adult beginners.

What sets it apart? “It’s the calibre, background and experience of the faculty members,” say Joosten-Fair and Jakubowski. “Coupled with the personal care we put into each student’s program, the Academy’s quality and results are unmatched in the city.”

The school has a faculty of 30, all of whom have illustrious dancing and teaching careers, as well as many famous guest teachers. Award-winning choreographer Joosten-Fair specializes in tap, lyrical and jazz and has trained with some of the most famous names in dance. Jakubowski danced

professionally with the Stuttgart Ballet, which took her all over the world before she became a registered teacher. Both Artistic Directors give their personal attention to every student. “We guide their goals and aspirations and design individual programs that best suit their needs,” they say. “Whether they are dancing in the recreational or professional program, each of our 500-plus students is an important and integral part of the Academy.”

After 31 years in business, the Directors have seen many students graduate to professional careers around the world. “Richmond Academy of Dance is recognized for training young artists whose graduates are now Canada’s newest and most exciting professionals,” say Jakubowski and JoostenFair. But the education goes beyond dance. “Our philosophy is to encourage the artistic potential of every student by providing outstanding training in an environment that balances the learning of life skills and the importance of an academic education with a devotion and dedication to the arts.”

City must rein in spending Hugs for humanity after snafu The Editor,

So, I will first say that I fully appreciate our firefighters and want them to have comfortable fire halls and excellent training facilities. What I take issue with is the overspending and overbuilding of the new City of Richmond fire halls that can now be seen around the city, most noticeably of late at the main fire hall at Granville and Gilbert.

I think we can all agree that the Granville/Gilbert fire hall was in need of repair or replacement. A new, modest yet well appointed fire hall is exactly what the doctor would order. Instead, what the City of Richmond has built — with our tax dollars — is an architectural masterpiece that rivals in design some of the most prestigious downtown sky scrapers.

Dear Editor, On Sunday (June 3) I stopped at 7-11 briefly.

When I returned to my vehicle I put the keys on the seat and promptly locked the door Silly senior moment! In no time at all I had people trying to help me. There was a lovely woman and her young son, a passer by and his two children and another gentleman I had spoken to briefly and he tried tirelessly, coat hanger in hand, to assist me.

In business, investments are made commensurate to the expected return on investment (ROI). The City of Richmond has most certainly forgotten or ignored these most basic principles of investing. The high-design sloping roof elevations and fancy architectural finishings of the new fire halls won’t be helping our fire fighters save lives anytime soon.

In fact, they deliver no ROI for the safety and well being of Richmond residents. It sickens me every time I drive by these new Shangri Las because I can only imagine the money that was wasted which could have been invested in our hospital, clinics, schools, infrastructure and so forth.

They all came to my rescue, but with all their efforts, no luck. I had called for or a tow truck knowing they could help and I got in the car in no time.

One gentleman even tried to pay the tow truck fellow, but I told him, “yes, I am a pensioner, but I will pay this myself, thank you so much.”

To all the beautiful rescuers, a very special thank you. You have reaffirmed my belief in humanity.

Your kindness will always be remembered.

Hugs to you all.

Richmond Fire Rescue chief Tim Wilkinson is proud of the new Brighouse fire hall.

Onni’s gain is our loss Dear Editor,

www.supergrocer.ca • 604-271-2722

fresh • large pack

I would like the city to disclose the final cost of construction for the new Brighouse fire hall. Everyone... get out your barf bags, it’s going to be ugly! Oh, and wait, how much will the city spend on the ribbon-cutting party?

The decision taken by Richmond city council to grant Onni a change in zoning was a rash one. It raises a lot of questions: were there any plans to move businesses from Steveston Village to the new site on the waterfront? Are we so tired of antique store fronts on Moncton Street that we want to move restaurants and retailers to modern buildings?

Except for two councillors, nobody cared what would happen to the existing businesses in the heritage Steveston Village.

Onni had been granted all the concessions it could ask for, even before the change in zoning was granted.

It was allowed to have three-storey buildings, affording residents on the third floor waterfront views, it was granted concessions in parking.

Meanwhile, businesses on Moncton Street are subject to numourous heritage codes.

You cannot go higher than two storeys, for example. And you cannot make any external changes, nor can you demolish a building to replace it with a new, modern one.

The heritage of the village was sold out for a mere $5.5 million — a totally insignificant sum in comparison to the loss the Village has taken. Steveston Village cannot count its losses now, but in 10-20 years, we will look back and see what a mistake it was.

Your pet project About half of all Canadians own a pet. Coincidentally (perhaps), about half of all Canadians have not made their Wills.

In the United States, pets apparently can inherit. The late Leona Helmsley reportedly left $12 million to her cat. Rumour has it that Oprah has, in her Will, left $30 million to her dogs. In Canada, pets, who are considered “property” (legally speaking), cannot inherit. This year, Canadians will spend an estimated $8.3 billion on their pets.

Owners need to plan for their incapacity and for their death, including how their pets will be looked after. In a Power of Attorney, a clause can be added allowing the appointed Attorney to spend funds for the benefit of a pet. In a Will, a Trust can be settled (with an appropriate level of funding) and a Trustee can be appointed to look after the pet.

Alternatively, owners can enroll in the SPCA Pet Survivor program, which assures owners and their families that their pet will be looked after if an owner becomes ill or dies. Pet owners should keep their pets in mind in their planning!

Port not telling the whole story Dear Editor, MP Peschisolido is correct in his criticism of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) and the responses from their vice president Duncan Wilson are misleading in a number of areas.

The Lower Mainland is not going to run out of container capacity in 2025. Lower Mainland container terminals are already expanding, by adding 1.5 million containers (TEUs) to their existing capacity. But that is not the whole story.

West Coast container terminals – which includes Prince Rupert – are set to add as much as three million container capacity and this will be sufficient for Canada’s trading needs for the foreseeable future. In fact

Prince Rupert has enormous capacity expansion potential.

Not only that but it is two sailing days closer to Asia and has superior rail connections to Eastern Canada and the USA, avoiding the already congested southern rail route.

Duncan Wilson also conveniently fails to mention that the Port of Vancouver handles significant volumes of US container traffic, which adds little or nothing to the Canadian economy.

Furthermore the ports of Seattle and Tacoma are expanding with the aim of taking that traffic back.

So why is the Port not telling the whole story? Because they are desperately trying to justify building a second container terminal

on Roberts Bank right in the middle of one of the most important bird habitats in the whole of North America.

What Duncan Wilson also fails to mention is that they have missed every one of their last five growth forecasts.

They claim recent annual growth of six per cent, but in fact their cumulative annual compound growth rate is three per cent. And at that level of growth there is sufficient capacity already existing or planned for many years to come.

Duncan Wilson also talks about the advantages of expanding port operations in Metro Vancouver, but fails to mention the resultant problems of truck traffic congestion and the fact that the southern rail route through the

Rockies is heavily congested. There is no need for further landside port infrastructure in Metro Vancouver. Only 10 per cent of containers are for the Lower Mainland, the remainder destined for Eastern Canada and the USA. Inland intermodal terminals such as the one at Ashcroft are a better approach, yet the Port of Vancouver has been lukewarm at best to inland terminals.

Hopefully the port authority governance review will result in changes to the governance structure and accountability of the Port of Vancouver, such that there is a more collaborative process both with other port authorities as well as with the municipalities that play host to the ports operations.

8 crews tackle blaze Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Eight Richmond Fire-Rescue crews were needed to deal with a blaze that ripped through the attic of a duplex Friday night.

At about 9 p.m., the fire department was called to the 2500 block of Wellington Crescent in Burkeville with heavy smoke and flames already visible.

According to Acting Deputy Fire Chief Jack Beetstra, crews initially tried to attack the fire from the inside.

However, the fire was already in the attic, so a “defensive” position was taken outside, using multiple hoses.

Beetstra said two elderly occupants of one side of the duplex were helped out by a neighbour, while the new tenants of the other half had not yet moved in.

No one was injured, added Beetstra.

New Coast Realty’s Jing (Sandra) Li was handed a 45-day suspension last week by the Real Estate Council of BC. Li has also been fined $10,000 and was ordered to pay another $10,000 to cover the cost of the council’s investigation.

In the consent order posted on the council’s website, Li admitted failing to supervise an unlicensed assistant who was providing real estate services on her behalf.

On one of the sales in question, the assistant was paid more than $21,000 in commission.

The order added that Li was also reprimanded for failing to disclose a $3,750 referral fee paid in relation to the sale of $2 million home in which agents for New Coast Realty represented both the sellers and buyers.

According to the order, Li denied the payment was in exchange for real estate services and was instead to assist her helper “with the financing of her purchase” of a property.

According to the documents, Li also failed to disclose to the seller “in a timely manner” that she and another agent would be splitting a $27,750 commission until more than six months after the sale had gone through.

Documents also claim that three of the files concerned purchases involving a director of New Coast Realty — who is identified in the order as “Z.W.”

In a statement, New Coast told media that none of the files came as the result of a consumer complaint and that five were opened following an internal audit by the council.

In one of the purchases, Li failed to prepare documents disclosing to the seller of a $3.8 million house in Richmond that the buyer who she represented had actually assigned the contract to purchase the home over to Z.W.

New Coast added that where non-compliance with records and documentation were identified, “they were quickly remedied.”

In another, she acted as the buyer’s agent for Z.W. to buy a $1.6 million home in Richmond, but Li failed to draft an addendum revealing the director had assigned the contract to purchase the house over to her.

Richmond realtor Sandra Li has been suspended.

It went on to laud Li as one of the leading realtors in the Lower Mainland.

New Coast was in the headlines in April when another of its realtors, Xinwei (Sylvie) Zhao, was fined after tricking a buyer to display a New Coast Realty “sold” sign outside the property for a year.

Mayor candidate courts Chinese voters behalf.

“Nationalism is so prevalent in the world...

If we Chinese don’t participate in politics anymore, our basic political rights will be totally ignored; we will become the easy target for bullying,” said Guo at the time, in Mandarin.

RICHMOND NEWS

Hong Guo, a Richmond real estate lawyer who’s being investigated by the Law Society of BC, announced Saturday that she will run for mayor in October’s municipal election.

Guo confirmed that speech with the News and said its purpose was to raise awareness of voting among the Chinese community, “no matter who they vote for. It’s more like an education thing. We have a large Chinese population in Richmond but the voting rate among them is very low.”

Guo — who also claims to have had $7.5 million stolen by staff from her company’s trust fund — announced her bid at an event named “Time for Change — Richmond” with an estimated 300 people from 13 social groups in attendance.

She was accompanied by singing, dancings and poetic recitals at the event which took place exclusively in Mandarin, in the absence of any mainstream media.

A video, in which Guo appears, was played at the event, describing Chinese residents in Richmond as people whose “voice is ignored” and whose “rights are obliterated.”

“Look at Richmond. Poor economy, longterm unsolved traffic jam problems, address selection for temporary modular housing, regardless of public opinion, theft, crime and racial discrimination; they all make Chinese residents very anxious,” claimed the video’s narrator, via translation.

“For a long time, Chinese people have been

However, the right of equality, happiness and democracy didn’t arrive as expected...

“Only Chinese people can understand what Chinese people want...Today, Richmond politics has finally heard a Chinese voice, Hong Guo.” When the Richmond News inquired about the video, Guo said she had no idea what content was in this campaign video, which was made by the United Richmond Coalition Association, a group recently formed to help

Guo run the campaign.

“I would never say those things. I think the intention of the video maker is good. If people from the Chinese community don’t vote, their rights will be ignored. But the wording is inappropriate,” said Guo. “The problems I want to address: Tunnel, tax and public safety, will benefit everyone in Richmond,” she added.

But at a March event, Guo gave a speech asking people in the Chinese community “to vote for Chinese candidates to speak on our

Guo said at Saturday’s event that she decided to run for mayor because of what happened after she allegedly lost $7.5 million in company funds, claiming they were stolen by two former employees in 2016 and transferred to China.

Guo accused the RCMP of not taking timely actions to arrest the employees and said her experience showed the “chaos management” running government, police and banking in Richmond. As for the lost funds, Guo said she has paid back all the money, partly by selling one of her properties.

The Law Society of B.C. confirmed the trust shortage has been repaid. However, the society’s investigation into Guo’s conduct is still ongoing and her practice remains under partial custodianship.

New Coast in trouble again Zhao was fined $2,000 by the Real Estate Council for BC after she informed a buyer’s agent that the offer on the property would only be presented and accepted by the seller if the buyer agreed to put a New Coast Realty “sold” sign on the property for one year.

office of Steveston-Richmond East MP Joe Peschisolido: Don’t build the Trans Mountain pipeline, let alone buy it.

month that he supports the Trans Mountain expansion from Alberta, as he believes it to be in the national interest.

“Our tax dollars should be paying for things like schools, like housing, like clean drinking water for First Nations. That is by far a higher priority than subsidizing big oil and specifically sending billions of dollars to a Texas organization,” said Richmond resident Jenna Newman, referring to the recent announcement by the federal government that it would purchase the existing pipeline owned by Kinder Morgan energy company for $4.5 billion, with plans to twin it and then sell it back to the private sector.

Newman said the risk of oil spills is too great for the coastline, including Richmond. As well, local whale populations are at risk to increased tanker traffic (the pipeline will mean the Burnaby terminal will see up to 37 oil tanker deliveries per month, up from five; this represents a 14 per cent increase to large commercial vessels crossing the Salish Sea).

The government’s move was in response to court action from the BC NDP government that challenges diluted bitumen (an unrefined product, like crude oil) shipments.

Newman organized one of about 80 nationwide protests at Liberal constituency offices via Leadnow, a nonprofit group that promotes protests and petitions for various environmental, social justice and democratic causes.

Newman said climate change must be a primary concern for the nation.

“We really have to look beyond our own yards. Something like this, to be contemplating a project like this — when we really should be turning away from fossil fuels — and to invest this much money in a fossil fuel project is just the wrong decision on all levels,” said Newman.

Peschisolido echoed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim that the environment and economy can work together. The Liberals say the pipeline is a necessary trade-off for a federal carbon tax and an Oceans Protection 11

“Joe calls himself an environmentalist. It’s difficult to reconcile what Trudeau and many Liberals have said with the kinds of action they’re taking now. I don’t know what the other viable option is for our government, but, we’re not hitting sustainability, let alone talking about how to regenerate the planet,” said Newman.

Peschisolido responded to the News by phone, stating the Liberal approach is a balance between the Conservatives, who would approve any pipeline, and the NDP and Greens who oppose them altogether.

He said economic growth is needed and that includes growing Alberta’s oil sands patch for B.C. jobs.

While Peschisolido claimed his government is investing in First Nations water resources, a December Parliamentary Budget Officer report noted the $1.8 billion investment over five years will fall short by $1.4 billion.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he has stayed at armslength of city staff working with Vancouver Airport Facilities Corporation (VAFFC), a consortium of airlines building the pipeline, to get the permits approved. Brodie said the permits would not be met with legal challenges from the city, considering Burnaby lost its case against the federally-approved Trans Mountain twinning.

Brodie said he has “grave reservations” about the twinned pipeline, given the material, diluted bitumen, is being transported. He said he also doesn’t understand why product isn’t refined in

Meanwhile, he maintains his concern with jet fuel barges running up and down the river. He and Richmond city council expressed their support for an upgraded Trans Mountain branch to the airport. One of the reasons VAFFC said it didn’t want to proceed with an expanded branch was because Kinder Morgan controlled it. Furthermore, such an upgrade was not seen as a long-term solution. Now, with the jet fuel terminal on the Fraser, VAFFC says 100 per cent of the fuel will come from there, thus eliminating up to 1,000 monthly truck shipments from Washington State. Environmental group Fraser Voices notes spills are inevitable and cleanup responses are questionable.

RICHMOND NEWS

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of an alleged drug dealer after three people survived a drug overdose in Richmond.

Richmond RCMP are asking the public to help track down Kim World Huang, 30, of Richmond, who is accused of 12 counts of possession of controlled substance for purposes of trafficking.

According to police, on Oct. 4 of 2017, Richmond RCMP assisted the BC Ambulance Service after three people were found in an apartment in the 8000 block of Hazelbridge Way, near Alexandra Road, suffering from the effects of appar-

A large quantity of drugs was discovered and the Richmond RCMP Organized Crime Unit (OCU) assumed the lead in the investigation.

A search warrant was executed and evidence was seized for analysis.

Among the substances seized were: Cocaine (435 grams); methamphetamine (two kilos); heroin cut with fentanyl (164g); ketamine (24g) and MDMA (212g).

“A full analysis Kim Huang is required before we can be certain of the types of drugs that we are dealing with.

After what the RCMP called a “comprehensive and exhaustive investigation,” Crown Counsel has approved the charges against Huang.

“Since the presence of drugs such as fentanyl crept onto the scene, we have had to revamp how we handle and store any drug suspected of being in contact with

fentanyl.

“We would like this opportunity to warn the public that the consumption of illicit drugs is an incredibly dangerous undertaking.

“You have no idea of what is inside – the concentration or what other chemicals have been mixed together.”

Hwang added that, “if the police are taking these types of precautions in handling them, it speaks volumes as to their potential as a dangerous substance when ingested.”

If you know of Kim Huang’s whereabouts, contact your local police immediately. Should you wish to contact the police anonymously, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

City of Richmond may smarten up Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

The City of Richmond is showing an acute awareness to the dangers of being a multilingual island city, on a flood plain, and next to a major fault line, by applying to the federal government for $10 million to fund an “Intelligent Operation Hub.” The city’s application was part of the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities’ nationwide Smart Cities challenge “to develop bold and ambitious ideas to improve the lives of their residents using data and connected technology.”

After receiving 200 applications for three prizes, the federal government announced its finalists this week. As a finalist, Richmond is now competing against nine others (with a population under 500,000) for one of two $10 million prizes. It has received $250,000 to develop a more detailed final submission.

to integrate emergency response plans from all levels of government and businesses, in order to better streamline and organize communication, decision making and asset mobilization for both small-scale incidents, such as traffic congestion, or a rare, but relatively imminent (100-200 years), major earthquake or flood.

“We believe our proposal for an Intelligent Operation Hub is of both local and national importance and offers huge opportunities to improve our residents’ overall quality of life, while ensuring our community and economy are resilient in the face of any level of emergency,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie, via a news release.

Stated goals of the city are to: integrate emergency data platforms; improve emergency response rates; and bridge language barriers.

In Richmond, 44.8 per cent indicated Chinese as their mother tongue, 33.1 per cent stated English, 3.9 per cent said Tagalog (Filipino) and 2.7 per cent claimed Punjabi. About 11 per cent of residents cannot

City of Richmond

speak English at all — the highest rate in Canada.

Emergency responders come from all levels of government. The city has a contract with the federal RCMP for police services but controls its own fire department, Richmond Fire Rescue.

Meanwhile, ambulance services are provided by the provincial B.C. Emergency Health Services. In a major disaster, the federal military would be called upon.

The city acknowledges in its submission that a lack of integration between governments impedes response efforts, be it for small events or potentially more serious ones.

Richmond’s proposal will be challenged by eight other cities, such as Greater Victoria, which is proposing a “multimodal transportation network.”

Meanwhile, the City of Saskatoon has chosen a social empowerment theme by proposing to use innovative technology to support Indigenous youth at risk of incarceration.

Winners are to be announced in spring 2019.

For the second year, Steveston is “coming alive” with walking tour vignettes.

On Saturdays in June and July, visitors can stroll through Steveston while getting a feel for its past as Hugh McRoberts secondary school drama students perform five brief plays about life in the seaside community in 1917.

“We’re delighted to be bringing these entertaining and informative stories back to the streets of Steveston this year,” said Linda Barnes, chair of the Steveston Historical Society, which is copresenting the program with the City of Richmond. “Tours sold out last summer, so be sure to catch this unique show while you can!”

Tickets are $10, but children under 12 are free when accompanied by a paying adult (maximum two children per adult). The city recommends booking in advance as spaces are limited.

As the provincial government continues to find creative ways to address its housing crisis, some power may be given to cities to boost rental stocks through rental-only zoning.

“We’re waiting to see what exactly happens with (the bill),” said Barry Konkin, manager of policy planning for the City of Richmond.

RICHMOND

Alyse Kotyk

In April, provincial legislation was introduced to allow cities to create rental only zones and to ensure existing rentals can’t be redeveloped for another use. If approved, the City of Richmond would need to consider how and if rental-only zoning would be an effective way to relieve some of the housing pressure in the community.

“This is an interesting opportunity for municipalities across the province...it’s very new. It’s not included at this stage in our work but we are reviewing it as we speak.”

Last week, at a one-day Regional Edu-

cation, Networking & Tradeshow (RENT) hosted by the BC Non-Profit Housing Association, a lunchtime panel discussed whether rental-only zoning could bring housing affordability to cities and what challenges they might face.

who know what their city needs.

Noha Sedky, a community planner for CitySpaces who spoke on the panel, said city councils may face significant resistance to rental-only zoning.

Even so, Konkin said it’s too early to tell what rental-only zoning could look like in Richmond.

“The biggest risk is going to be that lobby and that pressure on council that prevents it from going ahead because that can be quite significant,” Sedky said during the panel.

“I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of pushback from the development community,” she said, adding that there would need to be “champions on council and leadership on the planning departments” for such zoning.

To appease developers, Sedky said it might be necessary to “think of an incentive approach to support or facilitate it, but that’s going to differ from one place to another.”

For Selina Robinson, provincial housing minister, it’s those local governments

“(They’re) on the front lines of the housing crisis, so they’re well positioned to guide the right types of housing to meet the needs of their residents,” said Robinson in a press release.

“We would have to look at it very carefully, explore any negative implications or any positives for the community,” he said. “We would work closely with industry, with the public and any interested parties to see if it actually had any opportunity to work.”

Konkin said that the city’s market rental strategy will be heading to council this summer.

“To get rental housing, there’s a couple of different approaches that you can take, one being incentive-based, one being mandatory. Council will give us their direction hopefully this summer in which approach they want to take.

“It’s one thing to say ‘do it,’ but developers clearly have concerns in the implications.”

Baby bunny adopted by News dies mal Hospital, on Wednesday.

Alan Campbell

Before the sad news, Murray told how, last Wednesday, May 30, she went upstairs in her townhome about 9:45 p.m. to see one of her cats hunched over something.

RICHMOND NEWS

A baby bunny — being cared for by staff at the Richmond News — died during the night on Tuesday.

On closer inspection, Murray was shocked to see a baby rabbit huddled in the shadow of her cat, Rudy.

The little fur ball appeared from nowhere last week inside the west Richmond home of the News’ distribution manager Kristene Murray.

“I had been upstairs 20 minutes prior and there was nothing there then,” said Murray.

Murray brought the bunny — estimated by a local vet to be a three-week-old female — into the News office and staff immediately fell in love with her.

“I have no idea how the bunny got in my house. The cat who was hovering is mostly an inside cat, so he didn’t bring it in.”

For the last week, “Bunny” was a cause of much distraction at the News, with one staff member, who shall remain nameless, lamenting the fact she had “so much work to do,” while playing with the new office pet on the News’ balcony.

She was unable to take the bunny to RAPS’ animal shelter, which had to close its doors to rabbit intakes after the province-wide rabbit haemorrhage disease (RHD) outbreak in March.

And due to RAPS being unable to take in rabbits, the Richmond-based rabbit sanctuaries are full and are struggling financially to keep up.

So, Murray and her colleagues had planned to take turns looking after the animal and on Tuesday night the News reached out online to its readers to name the bunny.

It was also looking for a more permanent

However, Murray said she had noticed on Tuesday evening that “Bunny” was a bit lethargic and had planned to take her to vet Dr. Mike Shaufele, of Richmond Ani-

The two Richmond-based sanctuaries, Bandaids and Rabbitats, are appealing for more shelter space and suggested RAPS, as the City of Richmond’s contracted animal shelter, should be doing more to help with what they’re calling a “crisis.”

Murray thanked Dr. Shaufele for helping her provide support and information for her unexpected pet.

ASK A PRO What is the value of a Depreciation Q: Report for our STRATA? A: Many strata owners ask me the value of obtaining a Depreciation

I pay for a professional Q: Should home inspection before I purchase?

A:

Home buyers are often confused by this question, and are steered in different directions depending on who they rely on. Having a good or a bad inspection experience will definitely influence your decision when you are excited about purchasing a home. Just remember…..Buyer beware! If you do not take the time and effort to do your due diligence before you buy, you take responsibility for what you buy.

A home inspection can cost $350 to $1000’s of dollars, depending on what you need (pool inspection, a furnace or solar system check will be an additional cost, but can save you $$$$ in the future) The answer is really quite simple. If you are comfortable doing your own inspection, then do it. It is totally your choice. If you are not, then ask for recommendations from your sphere and your Realtor®, and pick someone that you feel is a good fit for you. Check their credentials, book the appointment and attend the inspection.

Many inspectors do not check appliances, so make sure that happens.

You will learn where the water/gas shut-offs are, about the electrical panel details, roof condition, is there asbestos? Is there evidence of mice? and so much more. An inspector cannot cut holes in the walls, or see inside sealed areas, but they have tools like moisture meters that allow them to take readings of the levels of moisture in questionable areas. Make sure you understand what they are doing, and why.

If you choose your buyer’s agent wisely, the home inspectors your agent recommends are most likely of the same caliber as the agent. No reputable real estate agent will withhold information from a buyer or induce a third-party Seller to withhold information. If you have any questions, ask them prior to removing your ‘subject to inspection’. Anything that changes your contract needs to be in writing and signed by all parties before subject removal.

Prepping your children properly for a day in the sun is crucial for minimizing acute and chronic sun damage. It is best to choose a “physical”/”mineral” sunscreen, which can deflect and scatter both UVA and UVB rays using zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide as the active ingredients. There is lots of controversy regarding zinc and titanium made into nano particle sizes (ie. a billionth of a meter).

Although there is no definitive evidence that healthy, intact skin allows nano particles to pass through, many of the best natural sunscreens on the Canadian market are made without using zinc and titanium in a nano particle size. Our favourites at Pharmasave Steveston Village include the Thinkbaby/ThinkSport lines, Green Beaver, Goddess Garden, and BC’s own K’Pure (based in Mission). All of these work quickly, feel silky, and are typically streak-free on the skin, but remember that everybody’s skin chemistry is different. These brands offer sunscreens in the usual cream form as well as sprays and solid sticks. All of our favourites listed here make use of the soothing, non-irritating and anti-inflammatory benefits of natural ingredients such as aloe, organic chamomile, and various natural oils such as avocado oil, raspberry seed oil, cranberry oil, sunflower oil, jojoba oil and even beeswax. Come in to Pharmasave Steveston Village and consult one of our natural skincare pharmacists to find the perfect sunscreen for your toddlers and entire family.

Are most people selecting cremation because we are running out of burial space?

No, there is more than enough ground space available to bury everyone in Canada. The selection of a memorial in a permanent location such as a designated cemetery is not only of value to survivors immediately after death, but also a treasure to pass down through generations as family members come to learn about their heritage.

Please comment on some specific anti-aging services at Richmond Cosmetics in Ironwood Medical Clinic?

Dr. Manoj Singhal is the Medical Director and Cosmetic Specialist and performs all of the clinic’s procedures.

For many it all starts in the cheeks with refilling the lost volume creating higher cheek bones which improves facial attractiveness. We use fillers to lessen the bags under the eyes and allow for a more refreshed youthful appearance. Other common areas are the lateral mouth and “marionette lines” to allow for a more refreshed and youthful appearance. We use filler to enhance the chin especially if there are deficiencies with lost volume. Dermatological fillers are used for lip enhancement and many other anti-aging procedures.

Dr. Manoj We use Belkyra for permanent treatment of the double chin which Singhal is an area that many find great satisfaction in treating.

BSc, (Pharm.), MD, Forehead wrinkles, frown lines and laugh lines or crow’s feet are CCFP, CAFCI treated with neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport which relaxes muscles to soften the wrinkles that start with aging.

Q: What does alternative health

A:

An “alternative” is defined as “another choice” – but the alternative in health care may also be the less obvious choice. Traditional medicine encourages patients to seek a doctor’s help as a response to illness, alternative health-care providers focus on prevention. If you are interested in exploring an alternative health-care solution - a great place to start is with chiropractic care. For more than 100 years, chiropractors, Dr. Bonnie Chuter have worked to transform the “traditional medicine” health-care paradigm from one based on treating disease to one focused on 604-284-5099 prevention.

MFI hearing aids means “Made For iPhone” hearing aids. That type of hearing aids could be connected directly to iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth technology which is a wireless communication system used between electronic devices. MFI hearing aids are designed to work very closely with Apple’s system. They connect directly to your iPhones and iPads so that you do not have to wear any streaming accessories around your neck.

MFI hearing aids provide many advanced features. For example, you can check the hearing aid battery status on your phone; you can use your hearing aids like stereo headphones to talk on the phone or stream music; you can also control volume and switch programs with just a tap of your finger when you go outdoors or noisy situations without using additional remotes.

MFI hearing aids sometimes lost connection with iphone therefore irritating users, hearing aid professionals and hearing aid manufacturers. Most of the time, the connection can be rebuilt by restarting hearing aids, blue tooth or phone App. This problem could be phone hardware or software related. This also may be caused by the IOS version that is being run on the phone. Hopefully, IOS update and hearing aid firmware update will reduce the problems for everybody.

New high efficient front load washing machines use very little water.

You need to be conscious of how long it takes for your washing machine to fill. If this is less time than it takes for you to get hot water at your laundry sink, then guess what…you’re heating water for nothing, and washing all of your clothes in cold water. Depending on how far away your water heating source is from your laundry machines, it may take 30 seconds or more for hot water to arrive there. You see, the pipes are full of water, but the water is cold. All of this water needs to be drained out of the pipes first for the hot water to arrive.

Looks like state sponsored hackers have managed to crack many of the popular home and business routers - plus some NAS network storage devices. There is a growing list of hackable units. too long to put in here.

And, as is often the case, the media got it wrong on the “fix”. The units must be patched with a firmware update by the manufacturer or sent off to the recycle bin. These “routers” are useless as security devices so perhaps it’s time to purchase a proper one. Not cheap but they work, which is more than I can say for $100 routers.

I’m seeing constant router exploit scans of our (real) firewalls here in Vancouver and Richmond. I fully expect to see tens of thousands of routers exploited just in our area alone. Look up your unit on the manufactures website and have a look. This is not fun and games, it’s serious stuff.

The general rule is to always make a Will A: where you reside, in other words, as per “the

Law the Land”. In British Columbia, Wills are governed by the Wills Act of British Columbia, which is Statute Law. The Wills Act sets out how a Will is to be drafted or worded, signed and witnessed, among other things. Due to local governing laws, the drafting of a Will can vary from province to province, state to state, or country to country. Wills in Ontario are drafted as per the Wills Act of Ontario, and may have different clauses or wording, and so, if some clauses or wording did not apply as per the Wills Act of British Columbia, then the Will could be invalid or partially invalid in British Columbia.

Some collectable classic cars will be on show at London Heritage Farm later this month.

yo-yoing, Terrance learned most of his skills and tricks on his own or through the Internet.

The London Heritage Farm Classic and Collectible Car Show and picnic is only a couple of weeks away.

On Sunday, June 24, the farm will once again play host to a fabulous day of vintage cars, along with some sumptuous tea and cakes.

Selected car clubs and owners have been invited to display their classic cars at the farm, where last year’s event was a big success with collectible cars galore.

“This will be basically a showand-shine with no judging or other

formalities,” said organizer Tony Whitney. “There is no charge for entering a vehicle and the public is admitted free. They do a great tea at the farmhouse with cakes and sandwiches and the facility plans to have some other catering, too.

“Many picnic tables are available around the historic farmhouse and there are modern toilet facilities.”

Whitney said the event is “relatively informal” and is a “great chance to spend a pleasant afternoon on a beautiful section of the Fraser and enjoy the locale and (hopefully) some sunny weather.”

The organizers would like to have all cars in place by 11 a.m. and the event will wind up at 3 p.m.

At only 12 years old, Terrance Wang is now the youngest yo-yo player to hold the Canadian national championship title.

Terrance, a DeBeck elementary Grade 6 student, recently claimed first place in the open division in the 2018 Return Top Championship held by the Canadian National Yo-yo Association (CANYA) in Toronto.

“I was really excited when they called my name for first place,” said Terrance, who practices yo-yoing for around three hours daily and up to five hours when a competition is around the corner.

“But I was kind of expecting it because I heard people saying that I did really well.”

He has been competing since 2015 and has won many medals in yo-yo contests across Canada, the United States and at school talent shows.

Terrance, whose favourite subject in school is science, said his “friends are impressed” by his yo-yo skills and “they think that I will win again next year.”

His mom, Nicole, who helps Terrance with choosing his competition music, is, naturally, very proud of his accomplishments.

“Learning the yo-yo has improved his hand-to-eye coordination and organization skills,” she said.

“Competing and performing in front of other people has boosted his confidence level. We are happy for him and will always support him.”

Terrance will again be representing Canada in the World Yo-yo Contest in Shanghai this August.

He began yo-yoing when he was seven years old and recalled that it “all started when a friend introduced me to it at school; I thought it was really interesting so I decided to get a yo-yo.”

“I am nervous but also excited to compete,” he said.

“There will be even more competition than last year with more than 500 contestants.

Although his friend taught him the fundamentals of

“I hope to do this for as long as I (can),” he added.

Pharmasave Steveston Village has the pain solution for you Pain is something everyone experiences but it can be difficult to manage. The pharmacists at Pharmasave Steveston Village can help you when your body is experiencing pain, because they provide customized solutions to pain and can minimize the side effects of medications.

Apart from prescribed oral medicine, the pharmacy makes customized gels or creams for patients to minimize pain for specific conditions, said Fred Cheng, pharmacist and co-owner of Pharmasave Steveston Village.

“If you have pain, you come to see me, I give you a survey to fill out, including information about how you got the pain, how it has changed over time, how bad it is, what medications and treatments you have tried, is it worse when you are standing, sitting or moving around,” Cheng said. “Based on that, I can recommend a gel or cream we make here that is customized for you individually. We make a lot of these for patients.”

He said your prescribed drug combination may contain the same ingredients as someone else’s but different people perceive pain differently.

“The strength and amount of our customized cream or gel is exact for that person; it’s different from everyone else’s,” he said, adding that the pharmacy can also make personized capsules, however, oral medications for pain management are more likely to come with side effects, usually to the liver and kidneys.

“As pharmacists, we get more training than doctors about medicine, and pharmacists are not taught specialty compounding in school. Every year my pharmacy sends our pharmacists to one or two compounding courses so we all are wellversed in the new trends,” he added.

Apart from custom-made products, Pharmasave Steveston Village also provides herbal and homeopathic options to minimize pain.

“They are both natural. The difference is that herbal treatments contain herb-derived chemicals that could create side effects in the body, while homeopathy doesn’t have chemicals, it just uses the energy from plants, so there are no side effects,” Cheng explained.

He said painkiller products can help in the short-

term, but people need to find the root cause of the pain and try to solve it at the source.

“For example, you can get joint pains when your bones are rubbing, because the padding inbetween is gone, so you need to put the padding back,” said Cheng. “In those cases, you can take a painkiller, but you need other supplements to rebuild the padding. Try to find the root cause, if not, find the least invasive way to heal your body in order to control the pain. That’s where the customized gel comes in handy.”

He said a healthy diet is also an efficient way to help relieve pain. Their Ideal Protein (IP) Lifestyle Program helps people lose weight through food with low fat and low carbs, reducing cardiovascular event risk and provides one-on-one coaching to dieters throughout the process.

“Statistics shows that if you lose 10 to 15 pounds, you will drop your arthritic knee and hip symptoms by about 50 per cent. Let’s say if your pain level is at eight or nine out of 10, after you lose 15 pounds in weight, the pain level could go down to four or five,” he said.

“Healthy eating can also help reduce inflammation. For example, eating food that reduces inflammation will reduce the burden to your body, and overall will reduce pain.”

Another good way to manage pain is through exercise, according to Cheng, because exercise can help people lubricate their joints and build up their bone and muscle.

“Shoulder pain can occur because you are not using your shoulder muscle enough, so it becomes stiff. Your muscle goes down, your joint will start to droop and become a burden to your body. If you build your muscles, your skeleton will go back to normal,” he said.

He added that drinking water is also very important, as it can help reduce inflammation in the body. Treatments such as acupuncture can also help by improving circulation.

“You don’t always need to take drugs, which sounds weird coming from a pharmacist. But we are taught to teach people to take the lowest number of medicines possible and at the lowest dosages possible,” said Cheng.

With the Viagra Patent About to Expire, a New Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight PAIDADVERTISEMENT

A patented pill costing less than $1 a dose stands to help millions of men with failing sex lives; no prescription will be required

By Ray Wilson Associated Health Press TORONTO− A new sex pill is set to take the spotlight with the Viagra patent about to expire.

But unlike the former, it won’t require a prescription and is priced just under a $1 a dose.

The new pill called Vesele is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men, which work instantaneously on the body and mind triggering arousal and firmer, harder erections.

Formulated with a special compound known as an “accelerator”, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more efficiently into the blood stream, where it begins to work its magic.

The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels throughout the body to expand.

This allows blood to flow directly to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer. Cialis and Viagra are based around a simlilar concept.

But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can’t do, is that also directs a small portion of this blood flow to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal.

In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on.

This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in clinical trials.

It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clear with Vesele. When both are supplied with a constant blood flow, men are harder and firmer for longer...and have unbelievable sex drives.

“Most of the research and treatment methods for men’s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation” explains Dr. Henry Esber, the creator of Vesele.

“And although they work for some men, the majority experience absolutely no fulfillment during sex.

According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can’t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $50 per pill and it doesn’t even work half the time.

This is what makes Vesele so different and effective. It floods the blood stream with key ingredients which cause arteries all over the body to expand. The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more.

The result is a rush of blood flow to the pe-

nis and brain, helping to create an impressive erection and a surging desire for sex. Often, this is all men need to get going. And when taken regularly, many men say they are energized and aroused all day.”

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering Vesele in Canada. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be.

In the trial above, as compared to baseline, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 85% improvement in erection hardness over a fourmonth period. Their erections also lasted twice as long.

These same men also experienced an astounding 82% increase in the desire for sex (libido/ sex drive) and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners.

Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day. The anticipation before sex was amazing. They were also easily turned on. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

Faster Absorption into the Blood Stream Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two clinical strength vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator. According to an enormous amount of clinical data, each is very safe.

Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex. They also struggle to produce an erection firm enough for penetration.

And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood flow is virtually always to blame. That’s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood flow, it makes your erection hard.

But what’s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood flow can also kill your sex drive.

That’s because blood supplies energy for the brain. This energy is required for creating brainwaves that cause excitability and arousal.

Studies show the Vesele stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis. The extreme concentration of the ingredients combined with the accelerator ensures that this process starts quickly.

The sexual benefits of Vesele are also multi-

Expiring Patent Opens the Door to a New Sex Pill: Vesele is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and erection hardness.

plied as its ingredients build up in the system over time. This is why many men take it every single day.

Recent Studies Show Positive Effects on Women In the same study referenced throughout, Vesele was also shown to have an amazing (and somewhat surprising) effect on women too.

That’s because the same arteries and vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain and genitals are the same in men and women.

“In our most recent study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 52% improvement in arousal and sex drive. Perhaps more impressive, they also experienced a 57% improvement in lubrication.

You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together. Everything feels better. Everything works better. Everyone performs better. It’s truly amazing.”

A New Frontier of Non-Prescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) restore failing sex lives and overcome sexual lets downs without side effect or expense.

Through a patented absorption enhancer, the Vesele formula hits the bloodstream quickly, resulting in phenomenal improvements in erection firmness and hardness. By boosting blood flow to the brain, users also experience sexual urges and arousal they often haven’t felt in years.

How to Get Vesele in Canada This is the official release of Vesele in Canada.

As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to anyone who calls within the next 48 hours.

A special hotline number and discounted pricing has been created for all Canada residents.

Discounts will be available starting today at 6:00AM and will automatically be applied to all callers.

Your Toll-Free Hotline number is 1-800-544-0410 and will only be open for the next 48 hours. Only a limited discounted supply of Vesele is currently available in your region.

Vesele is approved by Health Canada as a Natural Health Product for the following indications; L-Arginine supports production of nitric oxide, a molecule involved in vasodilation.

World Cup fever sweeping city Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Over the next month, if you see random groups of people in Richmond, clad from head to toe in colourful garb and waving their arms furiously at a TV, don’t be alarmed.

If it’s before lunchtime, it’s likely you’ve just witnessed soccer fans from a specific country or ethnic origin experiencing the pleasure or enduring the pain of watching their team play in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. he wished “Holland could win it but, wait, they’re not there. Oops. Germany have won it so many times, we should let someone else win.”

Arguably the biggest sporting event on the planet kicks off in Russia on Thursday, June 14, with game times ranging from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Pacific).

And, in Richmond, the natives of one country in particular are getting more excited by the day as the big kick-off draws near.

Case in point, Iranian-born café owner Zia Arfaee, who’s hosting a special Persian-style breakfast buffet at his little eatery — in an industrial estate near No. 6 and Cambie roads — to coincide with the Iran v Morocco clash on Friday, June 15.

Neither Arfaee, nor his 32-year-old son, Sama — who helps run the family’s Zia’s Café & Grill — are holding out much hope of Iran getting out of the World Cup group stage (Iran also faces giants Spain and Portugal).

But they’re going to make sure they and their regular customers enjoy every minute of their country’s World Cup journey.

“There are lots of soccer fans around here, many of them are regulars,” said Arfaee, 57, who has owned the café for six years.

“So many people here are from different backgrounds and soccer is global; it’s so much bigger than hockey, basketball and American football.

Iranian cafe owner Zia Arfaee (right and far right) and his son, Sama, show off their colours at their Zia’s Cafe & Grill in east Richmond ahead of next week’s World Cup. Alan Campbell photo “So, for Iran’s first game, I wanted to do something special with the full, Persian-style breakfast buffet.

“But it’s open to anyone; you don’t have to take part in the buffet, you can still come and watch the game and order what you want.”

As well as Iran, the flags of Mexico, Switzerland, Germany, Argentina and Portugal festoon the walls of the café, which mainly entertains a breakfast and lunchtime crowd.

“We’re hoping for lots of soccer fans to come in and enjoy the fun,” added Arfaee, who came to Richmond from Nova Scotia (where he was head chef in a five-star restaurant) in 1995, after leaving Iran in 1978 to study in India.

As for Iran’s chances in the World Cup? “If we defend well, you never know, as long as we’re competitive and as long as they’re not star-struck against the likes of Spain and

Portugal,” said Sama.

A better known Iranian import to Richmond is Davood Khatami, the long-time proprietor of Davood’s Bistro in Steveston.

As is the case with most World Cups, the German-loving Khatami is beside himself with excitement and, for various reasons, isn’t too sure who to root for this time around.

“I always support Germany and I’m very proud of Iran for getting to the World Cup for the second time in a row,” said Khatami, who’s planning to open up the bistro for most, if not all, of the games.

“But it will be a miracle if (Iran) get out of their group against Spain and Portugal. I would actually love to see someone else win it for a change; someone like Mexico, Croatia, Uruguay, Serbia, England or Belgium.”

Khatami, in a jocular dig at his ethnic Dutch acquaintances in Steveston, added that

Two of the big days for Khatami, in terms of parties, will be Father’s Day, Sunday June 17, for the Germany v Mexico game at 8 a.m. and Monday, July 2, with a potential round of 16 game for England, should it win its group.

“We’re planning to go crazy for (the Germany/Mexico) game; we’re going to have a buffet and prizes,” said Khatami.

“It’s going to be busy though, so I’d advise people to give me a shout first before they come, as we’re not doing tickets or anything.

“This is the place to be for the World Cup for sure; come along and wear your jerseys.”

As well as World Cup entertainment in many cafes, bars and restaurants in Richmond, a local man, Dave Sommers, has organized a charity World Cup pool, with all profits going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Entry forms, costing $20, are available and being accepted at Legends Pub, the Buck & Ear pub and the Best of British Store.

om bloggers, who write about their children and family life for other mom readers, are a growing trend in

“There is a whole stack of (mom bloggers) out there. They are all writing, and the numbers keep increasing,” said Shannon Sawicki, a Steveston

mom of three who started blogging two years ago after being encouraged by another mom blogger, who is a friend.

After constantly posting at least twice a month — sometimes once a week — Sawicki has built up more than 1,000 subscribers and receives around 1,500 views a month. She also has thousands of followers on social media.

Sawicki just had a breakthrough — her blog VenusFitness has been selected as one of the 2018 Top 30 Vancouver Mom Bloggers by VancouverMom. ca. The exposure should give her blog

a lift.

Apart from a mom’s passion for sharing, Sawicki attributes the popularity of mom bloggers to the increasing cost of living in the province.

“Alternative income streams, aka side hustles, are becoming more and more prevalent,” said Sawicki.

“Moms are looking outside the box for creative ways to contribute without sacrificing time with their families, and blogging provides this.”

Sawicki said the key to a profitable blogger is to build 30

up the readership, which equals influence in the community.

“Once we’ve got more exposure, we will have opportunities open up. Companies might come and ask us to blog for their products or we can write for other publications,” she explained.

Sawicki used to have multiple jobs, including working full-time as an administrative staff and part-time as a personal fitness trainer. She quit her personal training business to spend more time with her family and take care of her newborn baby.

“I thought, why don’t I start a blog instead? I can do it at home when my son is asleep or napping,” said Sawicki.

I won’t ask them (children) to take pictures or do anything they don’t like to do

Like most mom bloggers, her target audience is moms — those who have a busy life trying to fit everything in, SHANNON SAWICKI like Sawicki herself, and would love to read stories of others who are experiencing the same thing, gaining access to support or helpful advice.

Sawicki also found herself a niche — fitness — something she was always passionate about. Many moms pick a niche to stand out in the market; some do art, photography, sustainability or food.

Sawicki’s blog is a mixture of topics such as how to organize a boy’s birthday party, her Sun Run review, healthy tips for Halloween and exercise tips for moms. She is working on building a bigger readership and eventually attracting advertising or a partnership for her blog.

However, an ongoing debate has been how to keep the fine line between blogging and a private life, especially when mom bloggers start to experience the benefits of high click-through rates that generate revenue.

A well-known U.S. mom blogger, Heather Armstrong, was one of the first moms whose blog went viral and teamed up with

sponsors. She took her kids to events and posted them on her blog, as requested by companies.

But in 2015, she stepped away from the blog, saying it had taken over her life. And she would like other mommy bloggers to look at her story as a warning. Now Armstrong is back blogging with much less involvement of her children.

“This used to be called mommy blogging.

But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing…You want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars,” wrote Armstrong on her blog bio.

Also, having a blog might mean exposing your life to people you don’t know.

Sia Cooper, a U.K. mom blogger, took to Instagram last month to share some of the most offensive comments she has received, including someone calling her “fat, ugly, annoying, stupid and a bad mom.”

Sawicki said she feels lucky that she hasn’t heard any negative comments about her blog, adding it is a very “supportive community,” and she has been protecting her children from over exposure.

She rarely posts her kids’ photos on her blog, and will ask her older kids, age 11 and 18, for permission if she posts photos of any of them on her social media account — without revealing their names.

“I won’t ask them to take pictures or do anything they don’t like to do. And my focus is on fitness and my writing; kids are not my selling point for clicks,” said Sawicki.

“After all, family always comes first, others come second. I started this blog to spend more time with my family in the first place.”

Sawicki still has a long way to go to achieve her goal of turning a profit from her blog. Now she earns just enough money from Google advertisements to pay for the operation fee for the website.

“I only write things I want to write. I don’t know if that’s the right way to blog or not. I write on my instinct,” she laughed.

“I have become more reflective after I started the blog, and I feel good inspiring families to be active.

“Maybe they will start going for walks with their families after reading my blogs, or take a decoration from my post and throw a birthday party. They get good memories from that. Then I have done my job,” she said.

Visually impaired forum in Steveston Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

For people experiencing visual impairment, some everyday tasks can be a challenge. Independent living expert from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) Lynne Jensen is coming to Steveston to provide tips on how to live more comfortably for people who are visually impaired.

The talk will take place on June 13 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Japanese Canadian Culture Centre at 4255 Moncton Street and entry is free.

“Lynne is visually impaired but she has lived a comfortable life, having travelled to many places with her assistance dog,” said Edith Petersen, founder of the Visually Impaired People support, the group who orga-

nized the event.

“She will come to share tips to help us make it every day and will answer questions about problems people have. It is a very rare chance to have such an expert to come and talk to us locally.”

now has 12 members who gather together to chat once a month.

Petersen believes there are much more people experiencing eye problems but the challenge is to send the message out to them about the group and its events.

For example, Jensen has a make-up series where she teaches people who can’t see how to put makeup on themselves. She also shares tips such as how to get the right shoe on the right foot, according to Petersen.

“There must be well over 1,000 people who have some kind of visual complaint in Richmond. People are still alive but much older these days, and our eyes are wearing out,” said Petersen.

“What usually takes two minutes to do might take 15 minutes for us. It’s quite frustrating. So knowing those tips can be very helpful, helping people get over their frustration,” she said.

“I put notices up in a lot of stores around Steveston about our events. But if you can’t see, you rely on somebody else to read it. Some also have their problems getting to different areas.”

Petersen, 94, started the support group six years ago, when her vision became badly impaired. She looked around but couldn’t find a support group, so she started her own one, which

The support group meets every second Wednesday from 10 a.m. – noon at the Japanese Culture Centre next to Steveston Community Centre.

Salmon Festival details announced Organizers of the 73rd Annual Steveston Salmon Festival have given children a broader licence to roam and their parents, perhaps, a licence to drink.

clowns and other fun activities for the kids, a full afternoon of entertainment featuring Charlotte Diamond and the Hug Bug Band at 2 p.m.

a.m., followed at 10 a.m. by the big Canada Day parade, which includes marching bands, decorated vehicles, community groups and plenty of pirates, plus parade floats.

The biggest change at this year’s July 1 bash, according to organizers, will see the children’s festival move from the west side playground area to the east side of the park into the baseball diamond.

Meanwhile, a beer garden on Moncton Street with live bands will again be hosted.

Following the opening ceremony, the Main Stage will have a full day of entertainment including iconic Canadian rock band Honeymoon Suite who will take the stage at 5 p.m.

Of course, the “Salmon Festival will also have all the traditional favourites including a pancake breakfast (starting 6:30 a.m.), chow mein, and of course our famous salmon bake that sells out every year,” said Dickson.

“We made the decision to move the children’s area this year as the previous space was getting too crowded. The ball field behind the RCMP office provides much more space for children and their families to enjoy the stage shows, and access all the amenities in a wider area,” said Kirstine Dickson, festival co-chair.

Other attractions include a youth festival, Japanese cultural show, martial arts demonstrations, trade show, horticultural show, artisan gallery, pie and ice cream parlour and, the car show will return to the east field after a one-year absence.

The children’s festival will include inflatables and mini carnival games, face painters,

The Salmon Festival is part of Richmond Canada Day in Steveston, a full-day celebration stretching across Steveston Village with 50 performances on eight stages, featuring Canadian rock legends Big Sugar.

An artisan village, marketplace and food trucks are also part of the fun, along with free admission and activities at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.

Richmond athletes win 5 medals

City champion McMath lead way at B.C. Track and Field Championships

Richmond athletes produced five podium finishes at this weekend’s B.C. Secondary Schools Track and Field Championships in Langley.

City champion McMath Wildcats capped their impressive season with four more medals.

Grade 11 sprinter Carson Bradley was a double-medalist, finishing third in Friday’s senior boys 400 metres (49.75 seconds) and also helping the 4x100 relay team win bronze in a time of 43.88.

He capped a busy weekend with a sixth place result in the 200 metre final on Saturday, finishing just ahead of teammate Liam McLeod.

Alicia Lo captured silver in the senior girls triple jump with a best leap of 10.75 metres. Vicki Wideski’s bright future in field events began by winning the Grade 8 girls shot put with a throw of 10.61 metres.

Rounding out the medal winners was bronze in senior boys long jump for Burnett’s Eric Che with a best leap of 6.59.

RFHC hosts a festival of field hockey together.”

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

The unofficial home of B.C. Field Hockey’s U13 Festival once again earned rave reviews.

The two-day tournament was held last weekend at Minoru Park’s Gateway turf field which was divided up into four minipitches for five aside games. The event attracted 24 teams and over 270 players from throughout the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

It’s not the first time Richmond Field Hockey Club has stepped to host the event. In fact, more often than not, the festival has ended up at Minoru thanks to a group of dedicated volunteers.

They have created a fun atmosphere complete with families bringing barbecues and pot luck meals to enjoy the park setting around the schedule of games.

“It is about everybody having fun,” explained RFHC president Kathleen Wong.

“Even though the games are quite competitive, there are no scores being kept.

These are 10, 11 and 12-year-old girls that just want to play. It’s such a short season and it’s a great way to get everybody

Field dividers create an ice hockey type environment where the ball continuously stays in play. Mini-nets are used so no goalies are required and games consist of seven minute quarters.

“It creates a super fast game and the players know how to use the boards,” continued Wong. “It’s also a great opportunity to bring on our young umpires as we have created a mentorship program.

It gives them some confidence to build up their skill and learn to officiate a fastpaced game.”

Richmond was represented at the Festival by the U13 Ravens and U12 Owls.

RFHC’s 48th season is quickly winding down with its popular year-end award night slated for June 13.

The event is actually organized by the club’s graduating team that determines the evening’s theme. Awards are also handed out to U13 teams and older.

“Not a lot of clubs hold award nights anymore,” added Wong. “Our graduating team creates a theme and this year it’s going to be ‘Super Heroes.’ There will be skits or a dance each team will have to come up with around a field hockey theme. It’s not a serious atmosphere and the kids really enjoy it.”

U13 Richmond Ravens took on the Surrey Sharks last Sunday during Field Hockey B.C.’s U13 Festival at Minoru Park. The event featured 24 teams and over 270 players playing on four mini-fields. Photo by Mark Booth

Wildcats earn provincial silver A level of excellence continues for the McMath senior boys rugby program.

Wildcats had reached the provincial showcase tournament.

The Wildcats completed another productive season with a second place finish in the “AA” Tier II flight at B.C. Secondary Schools Rugby Union’s provincial championships in Abbotsford.

The second tier is a unique round-robin format with the six teams put into two pool groups.

Seeded third, McMath came up just short in an entertaining championship game against No. 1 LV Rogers. The Nelson school rallied and converted a late kick for a 26-24 victory on a sun-drenched field at Exhibition Park on Saturday afternoon.

It marked the second straight year the

The Wildcats paved their way to the title game after a big 26-24 victory over Victoria’s Glenlyon Norfolk on Wednesday. The Steveston school then rolled past Langley’s DW Poppy 51-17 on Friday — setting the stage for the final.

Caige Kehayas was named to the Commissioner’s XV Team for his outstanding tournament.

OMISSION AND ERROR: The publishers do not guarantee the insertion of a particular advertisement on a specified date, or at all, although every effort will be made to meet the wishes of the advertisers.

Further, the publishers do not accept liability for any loss of damage caused by an error or inaccuracy in the printing of an advertisement beyond the amount paid for the space actually occupied by the portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred. Any corrections of changes will be made in the next available issue.
