Election issues getting clear Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

We’re just getting settled into the lazy days of summer, so you’d think I would have something better to think about than the upcoming civic election — a full three months away — but, sadly, no.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t gone on vacation yet, or maybe it’s because I’m in the middle of a hellish kitchen reno (is there any other kind?), but for some reason, speculating on what will emerge as the big campaign issues seems like lots of fun – ya, I know, that’s the really sad part.

5

Anyway, I’m not the only political junkie out there, so let’s ponder the upcoming talking points. The Richmond Citizens Association (RCA) has just jumped out in front with a press release. Its headline reads: “We Need New Conflict of Interest and Anti-Corruption Rules.” In particular, it points to campaign donations influencing council decisions. (See page 20) The issue of campaign finances certainly took hold in the last provincial election as news of $1,000/plate dinners with the premier became front page news. By the end of the campaign, all parties vowed to ban corporate and union donations, as well as cut personal donations.

7

However, the issue may not have the same legs in the municipal election, simply because when the NDP stiffened rules at the provincial level, it also did so at the civic. Granted, individuals can still give hefty “gifts” and money raised by candidates before October 2017 can be kept, so that will advantage some, but the legs are now a little tired on this issue.

But fundraising is just part of RCA’s platform. It says, if elected, it will appeal to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) to amend the community charter, which regulates municipalities such as Richmond. The amendment would ensure elected officials “refrain from engaging in employment, own a business, or hold any interest if the activities present a conflict of interest.”

11 22

23

This is clearly aimed at councillors who are developers and land speculators because, according to the release, “Richmond City Council has had the ability to conduct closed-door deals and negotiations that benefit big-money donors, property developers, speculators, and well-connected lobbyists.” It also talks about “insider cronyism, secrecy and backroom deals.”

Mayor Malcolm Brodie has a point when he told the News, if the RCA wants transparency, it should be transparent with its evidence and not just make inflammatory accusations.

The other tricky thing here is that being a city councillor is not really a full-time job. Most either work or have active business interests. And if that work is in Richmond, chances are it will conflict with the city’s at some point.

However, when it comes to a campaign message, the RCA is tapping into a certain unease. Council’s decision last May to allow mega mansions in the Agricultural Land Reserve was a head scratcher. And when it’s hard to see the logic of a decision, it’s easy to speculate.

I know better than to hang my hat on any election prediction, but clearly transparency is a concern for folks from all sides and slates. Time will tell if it’s equally concerning for the average voter — whoever that is.

YOUR VOICE Would you use a pay-as-you-go bicycle?

Lumel Aguirre

Jacek Walkowicz INVENTOR

I use my own bicycle in Richmond. Probably I would not use it.

I’m not sure iphone would be the best way. If I have to get all these phones and all these applications, I might not have it. I wonder about tourists, if they don’t have a smartphone or maybe they need wifi.

Melissa Manlulu

GRAPHIC DEISGNER

I would but the only problem here in Richmond is that there’s a lot of bad drivers. Richmond is wellknown for that one. In downtown, maybe, yes, but not in Richmond.

But for some people who are on the go all the time, it could be useful.

The price is good as long as there’s a lot of parking stations available.

Probably not (all the time) but on a day I feel like biking, I could use it as transportation, I guess. I think (the price) is relatively good, compared to the Shaw bikes. But it probably won’t get me on the bike more, I’m not a very active person!

It’s very likely; it’s very convenient for the people and particularly in Richmond if people don’t want to drive. I think it’s a good idea. A dollar per half hour, so if you go shopping and it takes an hour, $2 could be expensive. The yearly rate ($150), that’s a good deal.

Founder of MRD Landscaping Inc, Frank Shang never stops. Not only does his firm provide landscaping solutions to residential and commercial clients, but he’s also creating a college to help horticulture enthusiasts hit the ground running. “I bought new desks and chairs, and there’s a projector ready for use,” he says.

Since the creation of the Vancouver Horticulture Club in 2017, Shang has new blueprints all drafted out for the development of his workshop, which was nominated for a Best Concept Award at the Small Business BC Awards.

In the next two-to-three years, club members will be able to obtain certification through Shang’s private institution, the Vancouver Horticulture College. Hobbyists can also pursue the club workshops for fun. “People in the community know they can come and join the short-term practical landscaping and gardening programs that we have here,” says the 38-year-old entrepreneur, “so it makes sense to expand a college from the club.”

There are currently only three employees

at MRD, four including Shang, so his interest in the club then — and in the college now — was initially an attempt to rectify the supply and demand imbalance of skilled landscape labourers. But now Shang just wants to make landscape horticulture education accessible to Chinese immigrants, and help them find a secure job.

Shang, who moved to Canada from China in 2001, knows only too well the learning difficulties of non-native English speakers, so his heart is set on offering Mandarin-taught courses at his college. “I need to address the language barrier,” he says.

He recalls the late nights working at his desk, looking up words in the dictionary.

“Studying horticulture, you encounter lots of technical terms and Latin names. It’s a lot of work,” he says. Eventually, Shang will introduce an English curriculum at the college but Mandarin programs are top priority at the moment. “I would surely love to offer lessons in English,” he says.

Shang has been in the horticulture industry for over a decade now, since the creation of MRD in 2006. Winner of multiple awards both locally and internationally, he and his operation have cultivated an influential reputation. Not surprisingly, when recruiting for teaching positions at the college, Shang’s peers were the first people he reached out to.

Cannabis not Mayor Brodie: We hear your roadwork frustrations only culprit Dear Editor,

Re: “Seniors stranded as sidewalks blocked,” Letters, July 12.

Dear Editor, Re: B.C. government allowing municipalities to limit cannabis production in cement-based greenhouses.

I’m writing in response to the concerns expressed in a letter to the editor about pedestrian access in the City Centre neighbourhood around Buswell, Cook and Park roads.

Let’s be clear here, although this is a well-intentioned step to preserve farmland for soil-based agriculture, perhaps it is not the most prudent.

I want to thank this reader for bringing his concerns to our attention. We are directly following up on the matter to ensure we are doing all we can to address the concerns expressed and ensure reasonable access is provided to pedestrians and others travelling within the neighbourhood.

The best case scenario would be for the province to regulate all buildings that infringe on potential future uses of the ALR (i.e. soil-based agriculture), because, as we have seen in Richmond, city councillors can make incoherent and incomprehensible decisions when it comes to farmland.

They want to ban cannabis production in cement bunkers on one hand, but they vote to continue to allow the building of massive mega mansions that also destroy soil-based agriculture and price farmland far out of the hands of farmers.

Residents who have similar concerns in this neighbourhood or elsewhere in the city are welcome to call our 24hour Public Works Dispatch line at 604-270-8721 or use the Feedback form available on the city’s website and the MyRichmond portal.

How can councillors be trusted to make good decisions when they are influenced by local developers?

Although there may be arguments for soilless agriculture, those cement-based greenhouses belong on marginal lands, industrial lands, or on top of buildings, not on class 1 soils.

The City of Richmond understands the frustration over the disruptions being experienced in the area, which are partly related to demolition and construction activities related to the development of a new Brighouse bus loop.

What we need are provincial regulations to preserve soil: A full ban on cement-based, cannabis bunkers and on mega mansions that are both eating up fertile farmland across B.C.’s ALR.

RICHMOND

When completed, this project will provide significant benefits to our city through improved transit service to and from our City Centre, which ultimately will also relieve traffic congestion throughout Richmond and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Unfortunately, with such a major project, some disruption to the surrounding neighbourhood is unavoidable.

We appreciate the patience of residents, businesses, transits users and other stakeholders while this work progresses.

We try to mitigate this impact through scheduling and other measures aimed at preserving reasonable access and movement of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists as much as possible. Sometimes, scheduling overlapping work and projects helps to accelerate the construction work, thus reducing the overall time needed to complete the work. The city will try to immediately alleviate the situation as much as possible.

I thank everyone for their patience while this work is being completed.

Thanks for picking me up Dear Editor, Last week, I was walking home from the library, going up Granville Avenue when I tripped on the sidewalk and fell face first.

I was not hurt at all, but because of my age I could not get up. I rolled over to a sitting position and was contemplating crawling to a wall from which I could haul myself upright.

Suddenly, in front of me stood a young man.

He had somehow seen my fall, pulled over his truck to the curb on Granville and had come to help me.

He was able to grab my arm and get me upright again.

Then he checked that I was alright and was gone.

Such kindness, such thoughtfulness, such a gentleman!

Hospital staff They’re squatting in our backyard amazing Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

Re: “Steveston residents get yards back,” News, July 12.

I recently had a three-hour major surgery at Richmond Hospital.

How could it be possible for the City of Richmond to hand over a public laneway to a group of local residents for the trifling amount of one dollar for 20 years? The idea that people who have been squatting on a laneway in Steveston should be given this public land, fenced off for their private use, is an affront to all taxpaying landowners in Richmond.

I would like to express my gratitude to the entire medical staff who attended to my physical and emotional needs on July 11.

I would particularly like to thank surgeon Dr. Frimer and anesthetist Dr. Dong for both their medical expertise and people skills. I found both doctors to be empathetic, yet highly professional, in all their interactions with me.

Local land has value — a lot of value — and even if it were appropriate to let these people “maintain” the land as part of their backyards, they should be charged a fair market rental fee. It is bad enough to let these Steveston squatters have exclusive access to public land, but to also give them what is essentially free rent is inconceivable.

In previous surgeries (gall bladder removal, two partial knee replacements), I’ve experienced extreme nausea/vomiting from the anesthetic, post-op. This was not my experience last week.

Dr. Dong gave me “a magical cocktail” of anesthetic, and when I woke, post-surgery, I felt fine. I was able to walk out of Richmond Hospital on the same day as my surgery, feeling quite human!

I would also like to thank all the OR nurses, nuclear meds technicians (and especially nurses Christina and Elizabeth). Each interaction I had with all staff was professional, competent and compassionate.

Why did city council think this was an acceptable arrangement? It is so unconventional and precedent-setting that all Richmond taxpayers should have an opportunity to vote on this decision. There is an election coming up this fall, so a referendum question on this issue would be in order.

Kudos to the medical staff at Richmond Hospital!

Today, I was coming north at 11:30 a.m., and traffic was reasonably light.

However, as we approached the tunnel, the tail lights came on and we entered the tunnel at 30 km/h. We did make it up to 60 as we exited, but that’s still 20 below the limit.

Whether it’s paranoia or claustrophobia, people go through tunnels slower than over bridges.

We really need a 12-lane tunnel or 10lane bridge worse than ever.

Will you, our elected officials, be asking for a public inquiry and special prosecutor to get to the bottom of the money laundering and racketeering that has gone on in Richmond for the last 10 years?

It would seem to me that you and the head of the Richmond RCMP detachment had box seats to what was happening at the River Rock and what was fueling the real estate industry.

If we cannot count on you to do the right thing, who do we count on?

Which law applies to the Will?

Before the new Wills Estates and Succession Act was put into force in 2014, a B.C. person’s existing Will was revoked if they married. Today, that person’s marriage will not revoke their existing Will. But where the person made their Will before the new Act came into force, and their country of residence is not clear at their death, things get complicated.

Earlier this week, reasons were released by our Court of Appeal in the case Sato v. Sato. The deceased, who died in 2015, had made a Will in 2011 (before the Act came into force). He was resident in Luxembourg but was domiciled (a legal term referring basically to where a person intends to live indefinitely) in British Columbia. He left his Estate to his two sisters.

He married a Japanese resident in 2013. His wife challenged the Will, arguing that her marriage to the deceased legally revoked his 2011 Will. She succeeded.

When the Will was made, the deceased had declared to CRA that he intended to retire in Canada.

Therefore, the deceased was held to be domiciled in Canada, his Will was revoked by his marriage, and so he died intestate, and his wife inherited his full Estate under our rules of Intestacy. The sisters ultimately did not inherit.

My view of this situation is that the deceased, here, probably did not get Canadian legal advice when he married. That is unfortunate.

Resident sends warning Collision claims pedestrian, 80s after basket thefts were around 12:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 11.

“I’m not sure if it was just our complex or across the whole area,” he added.

RICHMOND NEWS

“I haven’t reported it to the police, as it was so small an incident; I just want other people to know that it’s happening in the area and to take precautions.

A Richmond resident is warning people to secure their hanging baskets, after a spate of overnight thefts in his neighbourhood this week.

Andy Li heard a noise in the early hours of last Wednesday morning in his townhouse complex on Heather Street, near General Currie and Garden City roads in the centre of the city.

Li initially put the sound of his motion sensor alarm going off down to racoons, as he has had them nosing around before.

But when he checked his CCTV footage before going to work the next morning, he was shocked to see two different thieves sneaking up to his front door, three hours apart, and stealing his prized hanging baskets.

“The second time, it woke me up, as the motion alarm went off briefly,” Li told the Richmond News.

SPECIAL OFFER

CCTV footage shows the thief in the act.

“I’m not sure if it’s the same person each time, but (if not) they are likely working together.

“Myself and my neighbour love our hanging baskets; we share a lot of our experience with each other, fertilizing and different things.

“Two were stolen from me, one from my neighbour and at least one from another neighbour.”

Li said the thefts from his front door

“(The baskets) are quite big though and you can only carry one or two at a time, so I’d be curious to know how they’re getting them around and where they’re taking them to?

“It’s not acceptable. I know some people can’t afford much, but why do they need to do that? And what are they stealing the baskets for?

“Is it for a big event or something?

I guess it’s kind of funny. And I’d like to know how they’re transporting the baskets around.”

Li said he only paid $25 or so from Costco for the baskets, which, “look much the same as everyone else’s hanging baskets! I’ve put in a little bit of time into them, though, so it’s a bit of a shame.”

A female pedestrian in her 80s has died after being struck by a car on Friday evening on Minoru Boulevard, just west of Richmond Centre shopping mall.

Shortly before 7 p.m. on July 13, Richmond RCMP responded to the intersection of Minoru Boulevard and Murdoch Avenue for reports of a collision between a pedestrian and a 2008 Acura sedan.

The pedestrian, a woman in her 80s from Richmond, was conscious and transported to hospital with apparently minor injuries.

However, the pedestrian unfortunately succumbed to her injuries the following day.

The driver, a woman in her 60s, also from Richmond, remained at the scene and has been cooperative with police.

Neither speed nor alcohol is considered a factor in this collision. The pedestrian is believed to have been crossing in a designated crosswalk.

The Richmond RCMP Road Safety Unit (RSU) has taken over the investigation.

If anyone witnessed this collision or may have dash cam footage from the area, contact Const. E. Chow from the Richmond RCMP Road Safety Unit at 604-278-1212.

Bike sharing set to roll into town Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

After floating the idea of implementing bike sharing in Richmond this past spring, city staff recommended a trial contract for U-bicycle at a committee meeting last week.

According to a Richmond city staff report, public bike share companies offer bikes in various locations throughout a city to be used on a short-term basis.

Development Permit Panel Meeting

Typically, users can pick up a bike in one location and return it to another within a specific service area.

Agenda item:

After considering docked systems — like Mobi, which is the service Vancouver uses — or dock-less systems where bikes are accessed via a phone app and have digital locks so they can be parked anywhere, Richmond city staff chose to run an 18-month trial with U-bicycle.

The B.C.-based company enables riders to rent bicycles 24 hours a day through a selfserve process.

According to a city staff report, each selflocking bicycle has a helmet that locks to the frame of the bike and helmet liners would be available via a kiosk at stations.

While the initial launch would begin with a small number of bikes, the company’s full launch would eventually include 470 bikes at 110 stations in the city centre core and in Steveston.

Without specific docking stations, the bikes’ “virtual parking zones” would be within a 50 metre radius from community centres, Canada Line stations, bus stops and commer-

A pay-as-you-go rental, where users pick-up and return a smart bike at any virtual dock station, would cost $1 per 30 minutes.

A membership rental where members can have unlimited trips by enrolling in an annual pass program at $150 per year.

Or a tourist rental for $14 for a 24-hour rental where bikes can be parked temporarily outside of the bike rental boundaries.

“The establishment of a public bike share system that allows residents and visitors to access affordable and convenient bicycles for short distance trips would provide a number of community benefits that support the city’s mobility, carbon reduction and economic development goals,” wrote Sonali Hingorani, transportation engineer, and Joan Caravan, transportation planner, in a city staff report.

If council approves the staff recommendations, U-bicycle could launch eight weeks after its contract with the city is finalized.

MLAs oppose electoral reform Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

All four Richmond MLAs, along with their BC Liberal Party leader, gathered last week to express their concerns regarding the upcoming B.C. referendum on changing the way the province elects politicians.

“The concern we have as BC Liberals is that the referendum is all being forced into a very short period of time. It has been designed to be confusing when people make their decision,” said BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson at a meeting at Trinity Western University with MLAs John Yap, Linda Reid, Teresa Wat and Jas Johal.

The referendum on electoral reform will be held this fall as a mail-in ballot between Oct. 22 and Nov. 30.

The Liberals also stated their opposition to proportional representation (PR), an alternative electoral system in which the number of seats a party has in the Legislature reflects its share of the popular vote.

PR will create “politically appointed MLAs” who don’t know about their ridings, complicate the electoral process, increase governmental costs and create uncertainties that come with running a new system, according to the Liberals.

Also concerning is the suggestion PR could give extremist parties, such as an anti-immigration parties, a seat in the Legislature and influence in government, said the MLAs. Finally, there is the practical challenge of getting people from a variety of parties to work together.

“There is some sort of fantasy that all the different parties in the Legislature elected by the PR system are going to collaborate,” said Wilkinson.

However, Nick Loenen, a former Richmond councillor and MLA, and co-founder of the advocacy group Fair Voting BC, said the PR system is what B.C. needs now because it is a modern system that better reflects our diverse society.

“In a PR system, all votes count. If you look at the four ridings in Richmond, you’d think everyone in Richmond voted for the BC Liberals, but that’s not so at all. Half the people did not vote for the BC Liberal party,” said Loenen.

“Province wide, a party with 40 per cent of the vote can form a majority government and have 100 per cent of power, which is quite common. So 60 per cent of the people cannot find anybody in the Legislature they voted for.”

Leonen said the current system worked well before, when “everyone thinks the same and we have a more homogenous society.

“But Canada has changed, B.C. has changed and Richmond has changed rapidly. Now we have much greater diversity, and (that diversity) has to be represented in the Legislature.”

Although some PR elected governments, such as in Italy, have had a high turnover rate, others have been extremely stable.

www.riverrock.com 8811 River Road, Richmond B.C

Moreover, the fact different parties have to seek consensus is viewed by PR proponants as one of the system’s strengths.

Watchdog: Casino crimes ignored Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

The owner of Richmond’s River Rock Casino is this week defending itself amid allegations by a former illegal gaming watchdog that crimes were being ignored.

The former commander of B.C.’s dismantled Integrated Illegal Gaming Enforcement Team (IIGET), Fred Pinnock, told Global BC earlier this week that security staff at the River Rock alerted him in 2006 to alleged criminal activity in the casino of a known loan shark.

According to Pinnock, a security manager at the River Rock reacted by escorting the loan shark to an area of the casino not covered by cameras.

Pinnock claimed he alerted his superiors — and his partner provincial agency, GPEB (Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch) — to the activity and suggested his unit set up a covert operation, but was told it had been investigated and was outside IIGET’s mandate.

Reacting to the allegations, Terrance Doyle, COO of River Rock’s owner, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, said the RCMP has “never expressed any concerns to us about our company’s compliance with the laws and regulations that govern our industry, and Great Canadian is unaware of any allegations which may have been made to the RCMP.” Doyle reiterated that his company “has a culture of integrity and transparency founded on our strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

“There is no discretionary aspect to any Great Canadian employee’s compliance with regulation, policy, or procedure.

藍莓超級優惠價

July 19 - 25, 2018

“Our structure and systems are designed to prevent inappropriate activity, and identify it should it occur.”

Doyle further pointed out that Richmond RCMP has acknowledged the company’s work on several occasions, including “outstanding assistance conducting surveillance

reviews for [RCMP] members beyond the scope” of regular duties, including the installation of nearly 1,500 surveillance cameras, “well beyond what is required by BCLC and more than any other gaming facility in B.C.” B.C.’s Attorney General David Eby said the allegations made this week are “really serious,” adding that, if proven, he “can think of a number of violations of provincial law and policy and potentially criminality.”

Earlier this year, in his report on money laundering, Peter German wrote that loan sharks may be financed by organized criminals who are also involved in illegal activities such as money-laundering, which appears to be rife in B.C.’s casinos.

The IIGET was shut down in 2009 due to urgent “funding pressure” on the B.C. Lottery Corp., according to a confidential B.C. government memo obtained by the Vancouver Sun in March this year.

The 2016 memo for then finance minister Mike de Jong is the first known document indicating the illegal gambling task force was disbanded by B.C. officials, apparently for financial reasons.

Also, the document suggests, in the aftermath of the unit’s closure, organized crime in B.C. has been able to increase its reach into both legal and illegal casinos, for the purposes of money-laundering.

The document was prepared for de Jong by the aforementioned GPEB. It says that from 2003 to 2009, Pinnock’s IIGET investigated crimes surrounding “common gaming” houses, animal fighting, and bookmaking. The unit was not tasked with investigating money laundering in B.C.’s licensed casinos, the document says.

But IIGET managers in January 2009 filed a threat-assessment asking for an expanded role and warned of the potential influence of organized crime in B.C. Lottery Corp. regulated casinos.

Instead, in April 2009, B.C.’s illegal gambling task force was disbanded.

In March this year, Eby took new recommendations from B.C.’s independent antimoney laundering review to the nation’s capital to ask for federal help.

Ray Galawan, lifelong Richmond machinist, fisherman and farmer who, in 2013, blew the whistle on rampant destruction of local farmland, has passed away at the age of 74.

Described by family and friends as a hard-working, salt of the earth character, Galawan was an otherwise quiet individual, uninterested in politics — until January, 2013, that is.

Then, he drove a tractor down No. 3 Road and delivered a pile of concrete and junk to city hall, in a rare scene of civil disobedience in Richmond.

Today, Galawan’s legacy — via the grassroots group FarmWatch, which he founded in 2013 — is set to play an ambitious role in the upcoming civic election, least to mention the future preservation of farmland in Richmond.

His ‘how do you like that?’ moment at city hall (he also visited Premier Christy Clark’s offices in Vancouver) was a “step out of character,” according to Margaret Galawan, who will remember her husband of 45 years at a service July 12 25.

“His big enjoyment was kids, his family and his love of the land,” said Margaret.

With hands like tools, Galawan kept a keen eye on friends and young farmers who needed help. In fact, it was his penchant for farming and his childhood friendturned-farmer Bob Featherstone that galvanized him to protest farmland dumping.

Galawan, who died May 30, was born in Vancouver in 1943 and grew up in south Richmond, on a No. 4 Road farmhouse. He was a member of the first graduating class of Steveston High. His life was one of hard work, marked by strong friendships and family bonds, said Margaret. He raised two sons, Richard and Randy, in a house he built next to his childhood home. Randy passed away in 2016 and Richard is now raising his own family in the Galawan family home.

Galawan, said Margaret, liked all the “regular stuff” living in rural Richmond, such as hunting game, fishing and taking his kids camping between his 35-year career as a machinist and foreman at Vancouver School District.

“There was nothing he couldn’t fix or repair. He was

Otherwise, he tended to “stay in the background,” said Margaret.

“He was the type of person who never wants to go to the party, but when he got there, he was last to leave because he was talking to all his friends,P” she said.

Childhood friend-turnedcommercial fisherman Gus Jacobson said Galawan’s knowledge was “priceless.”

Jacobson said Galawan “never did anything halfassed. He took the time to do it right. He did it once and it wouldn’t need to be done again. We called him Perfect Ray; because he always did things on the money.

“He did his homework.

When he gave you an answer, the answer was right.

When you tried to B.S. him, there’s no way you’d win,” said Jacobson.

Beyond retirement, Galawan would help Featherstone farm and Jacobson fish. The men took on various projects around the Fraser River, including restoring farmland on a South Arm island for conservation group Ducks Unlimited.

“I think his real love would have been to be a farmer.

I think it may have hurt him when his dad sold the farm,” said Jacobson.

In its own online tribute, FarmWatch noted Galawan, although silent publicly, was “outraged at the construction of mansions on farmland, particularly the one he called a hotel, just up the road from his farm.”

Margaret said Galawan was “disgusted” by past inaction and recent actions by some city council members.

Friends said he wore his “Save Our Farmland” t-shirt every day, until the end.

Fake abduction claim leads to $10,000 ransom Alan Campbell

The suspect, or suspects, were allegedly able to “spoof” a cell phone caller ID and contact the victim, demanding payment for the safe return of their partner.

According to police, the victim took the threat seriously, as the originating call appeared to have come from their partner’s cell phone.

Funds in excess of $10,000 were then allegedly transferred to a Bitcoin ATM machine at a coffee shop near Westminster Highway and No. 3 Road, before the victim realized they were being scammed.

The victim’s partner was located unharmed and unaware of their supposed abduction.

‘Heart-broken’ over trellis loss Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

ute little fences and dainty furniture — mostly hand-made and signed with declarations about life and love — festoon a green strip of community garden plots.

The bees are buzzing, the birds chirping and the heady scent of home-grown flowers and herbs in full blossom fill the air.

It would have been an ideallic summer scene in the centre of Richmond — if not for the tranquility being ripped apart by the tearing down of make-shift greenhouses and shelters.

Those dismantling their home-made structures Monday morning at the city-owned community garden plots, behind Rosewood Towers at Blundell and No. 2 roads, are doing so in sufferance.

Among them is Megan Wells, one of around 40 or so residents who have, in the aftermath of a fire, been ordered by BC Housing and the City of Richmond to clear their plots of banned items, such as wood and furniture.

As well as her wooden, raised garden beds, fencing and plastic furniture, Wells has until July 20 to tear down a wooden trellis, which is holding up her prized, 20-year-old grape vine.

She told the Richmond News she’s “heartbroken” at the thought of having to get rid of the vine on her 15 feet by 40 feet plot she signed up for two years ago.

“I spent hundreds of hours out there sorting it out. I’ve very little money, so I collected bottles to raise money to maintain the garden,” said Wells, who has health issues and is on disability.

“The garden is an escape for me, an escape from life.

We’re all on low incomes here and have to be very, very resourceful to make these gardens what they are. A lot of people are upset.”

Alan Campbell photos ers, added that she “lives next to the boiler room and, at this time of year, I spend a lot of time down here to cool off.”

A fire at a greenhouse on a nearby plot last month has led to BC Housing and the city taking a closer look at the structures on everyone else’s garden at the site.

“I understand why they’re doing this, but it’s at the totally wrong time of the season; my grapes are just beginning to ripen,” said Wells.

“They’re telling us we are allowed to use bamboo, but that’s very expensive for us and bamboo will not hold up my plants.

“I’d love for them to at least come up with some kind of compromise.

“And are these rules just for us, or for all community gardens in the city? I see wooden structures at many community garden plots; I hope they’re not just singling us out?”

A

spokesperson for BC Housing explained that the garden plots in question, although used by Rosewood Towers tenants, are on municipal property and, as such, the city’s bylaws and regulations apply.

“The regulations note that community garden plots should not include the install of a structure, fence, railing, sign, seat, bench, post, pole, ornament or object of any kind.

“The City of Richmond recently informed BC Housing that these regulations would be implemented in full force.”

Although the city gave BC Housing until Oct. 1 to bring the plots into compliance, BC Housing, in turn, gave the tenants a July 20 deadline.

BC Housing didn’t explain why it didn’t give the tenants more time to comply.

The garden is an escape for me, an escape from life. A lot of people are upset.

Acknowledging there does appear to be similar structures at other city-owned, MEGAN WELLS community garden plots, city spokesperson Ted Townsend told the News that structures at other sites have received approval from the site operator and are used “strictly to aid in growing whatever plants the gardeners have decided to grow.”

These structures, added Townsend, still adhere to the rules and regulations outlined by the city, such as: They are no taller than six feet from the soil level; They are mostly temporary – any arbors will be removed after the growing season; They do not contain any combustible or treated material; They do not store any tools or other materials in or around these structures; They are not meant for shelter.

Why are lower dentures less stable?

“In most cases, a lower denture is naturally more difficult to hold than an upper denture due to the anatomy of the lower jaw,” said Sonia Raeisi, registered denturist and owner of Richmond Denture Clinic.

The most common reasons for lower denture movements are: •Decrease in the amount and quality of saliva.

Normal saliva aids in the retention of the denture. If you notice you have a dry mouth and little or thick and ropey saliva, the denture will not fit as well.

•Tongue, cheeks, lips and jaw movements.

The lower denture must allow space for the tongue to move freely. Also, the lower jaw is mobile and the denture may rock due to the up-and-down movements of the jaw, and movements from lips and cheeks.

•Bone resorption.

Bone loss starts happening once natural teeth are removed. Every year, resorption happens in different degrees, depending on the individual. This causes the bone ridges to become shallow or flat.

•Minimal surface area support.

The lower denture rests on narrow and thin bone edge prone to shrinkage. The upper ridge fits into the palate of the mouth, which is fairly

level and wide enough to provide support and suction to stabilize the denture. There is very little bone loss, as opposed to the lower ridge.

Some common solutions are: •Saliva supplements.

In order to create better suction for holding dentures in place, patients may opt to purchase over-the-counter saliva supplements.

•Allowing control of tongue, cheeks and chewing mechanisms.

A patient must adapt and re-learn behaviours such as how to chew, speak and control their tongue and cheeks to help keep the denture in proper position.

•Minor adjustments.

“Sometimes, lower denture movements can be corrected by doing minor adjustments to the denture without the needs to reline or remake them,” said Raeisi.

•Alveolar ridge augmentation.

Also known as bone grafting, this procedure consists of surgically placing material beneath the gum tissues to compensate for bone loss and tissue shrinkage.

•Dental Implants.

Implants can be used to stabilize and retain the lower denture allowing you to chew more efficiently and feel the confidence of knowing that your denture will stay in place. They also aid in the conservation of bone as they act as anchors and bone will grow around them.

•Soft-liner.

This is a rubbery material that is put inside the lower denture and acts as a cushion between the ridge and the denture, making it easier for the denture wearer to perform and function adequately.

At the Richmond Denture Clinic, we hope this information helps you make an informed choice as you decide to take action on your oral health and your dentures. Come visit us at our Richmond location at Unit #113-7000 St. Albans Rd. Sonia Raeisi, registered denturist and owner of Richmond Denture Clinic.

Teen actor’s summer dream Cynthia Wei, the “little but fierce” Grade 11 McMath student, is one of 18 actors cast to perform in the Carousel Theatre for Young People’s Teen Shakespeare Program’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Cynthia Wei, a Grade 11 McMath student, is living the dream this summer, acting with Teen Shakespeare.

The teen is no stranger to the theatre; having been in numerous productions including The Time Machine at the Gateway Theatre, Twelfth Night with the Young Shakespeareans at Bard on the Beach and school plays at McMath secondary.

Playing Hermia, daughter of Egeus, Cyn-

thia says being part of the production is “not only fun but also teaches a lot of valuable knowledge about Shakespeare...”

“I really enjoy theatre,” said Cynthia.

“It’s one of my passions and I hope to one day pursue a career in it.”

The program is an intensive, six-week course, where young actors come together to train and put on an outdoor production on Granville Island.

Despite the long commute from her home in Richmond, Cynthia says the program

is “hard work but doesn’t feel like work,” and that she’s “excited to get out of bed every morning.”

“Cynthia had a spark that attracted me to having her in the production,” said Mike Stack, head instructor of the program. “I like her attitude, and she has a wonderful work ethic.”

The Shakespearean classic goes July 27 to Aug. 11 at the performance works outdoor stage at Granville Island.

Admission is free but premium seating is $6 from Tickets.CarouselTheatre.ca.

“With Tim Hortons, we’re able to give back on a whole other scale.”

Greg, Restaurant Owner from Cowichan Valley, BC Greg retired from a 17-year career in the NHL but knew he needed to keep busy, finding new ways to give back. So, he and his wife opened the first Tim Hortons in the small town they grew up in. Already heavily involved with community events of his own through his years as a professional athlete, Greg’s transition to the world of Tim Hortons was a seamless one. Now with the support of a national brand, his and his wife’s contributions have been taken to the next level. Where they once sponsored a single Timbit hockey team, they now sponsor over 75 across the Cowichan Valley.

Thank you, Greg. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

Kim Possible at McMath Cecilia Hua RICHMOND NEWS

Disney’s new live-action movie, Kim Possible, was spotted filming at McMath secondary last week.

Sadie Stanley and Sean Giambrone star in Kim Possible.

The live-action remake of the popular animated TV series, which ran from 2002 to 2007, stars Sadie Stanley as Kim Possible, Sean Giambrone as Ron Stoppable and Alyson Hannigan as Dr. Ann Possible.

The film crew took over the school from July 6 to 10 and have since wrapped up, but a representative from the City of Richmond’s film office said they’re unsure if there will be additional filming in Richmond.

The film began its production earlier this summer and the main actors were seen around Vancouver, according to media reports.

Council gives itself veto power on art Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

City council has voted to give itself the power to approve or refuse any piece of artwork on public or private property as part of new developments.

They also voted to give themselves the ability to “to consider restrictions to local artists,” in a meeting late last month.

Previously, council had to approve the public art plan on both public and private lands, but only had veto power of art on public lands.

Richmond Arts Coalition (RAC) challenged the recent move to give council veto power over art on private land that is being developed.

It asked, “if the developer is funding the public art piece and it will be part of the development that will be sold privately, why should council have to approve it?”

RAC also questions how council can “en-

sure that Richmond has a wide variety of public art, not just one style.”

The motion passed with Couns. Derek Dang, Alexa Loo and Linda McPhail opposed.

I’m not an artist...

I think it’s really important we have a process that takes us out of the equation

“I’m not an artist,” McPhail told the Richmond News.

“We probably all have a different idea of what is art and what is good art…I think it’s really important that we have a process that COUN. LINDA takes us out of MCPHAIL the equation, that involves artists, that involves members of the public — and I think we had that.”

RCA suggests council conflict of interest Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

Ahead of October’s municipal election, one slate is calling for increased conflict of interest rules, while some candidates say the matter is already firmly dealt with.

Last week, Richmond Citizens Association (RCA) issued a press release arguing that Richmond’s city council has currently been conducting “closed-door deals and negotiations that benefit big-money donors.”

“We’ve got to get big money out of city hall,” said Jack Trovato, a city council candidate on the RCA slate.

RCA’s release went on to say that “some of our councillors are property developers, or have close ties with property developers, speculators, real estate companies and wealthy landowners,” adding “the results have been damaging and devastating to each of us in the community.”

and members of his slate would call for amendments to the provincial conflict of interest rules to ensure elected officials disclose financial assets, that they refrain from engaging in employment if it presents a conflict of interest and be subject to oversight by an independent officer.

If elected, Trovato said he

However, Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he does not see conflict of interest as an issue on city council currently.

“We have very clear rules about conflict of interest and I believe they are being adhered to,” Brodie said, explaining that councillors “occasionally” declare they have a conflict of interest, vacate the room during that particular discussion and abstain from voting.

Coun. Linda McPhail, who is running for re-election with Richmond First, echoed these sentiments, calling the press release “offensive.”

McPhail added that it’s not unusual for councillors and trustees to have another job.

“It’s commonplace that people have employment and that in the course of your role as a councillor, there may be conflicts of

For Trovato, the issue lies in how often conflicts of interest arise.

“We understand that rarely a councillor may need to abstain from a vote,” Trovato said.

“The expectation is that these instances, they’re limited and they’re rare.”

For Brodie, however, even accusations about a conflict of interest need to be transparent themselves.

“Just because we’ve got an election coming up, doesn’t mean that people can say whatever they want,” Brodie said.

“If the proponents are advocating openness, then I believe it’s up to them to come out into the open and make whatever suggestions they want to make.

“Do not hide behind veiled innuendo. If you are going to accuse people of doing something, you need to accuse people of doing something.”

Nancy Small, Tourism Richmond’s newly appointed CEO, said she is excited with the many opportunities the city’s tourism scene presents, and hopes to continue leading the organization towards success.

“I’m very focused on the team aspect and really trying to bring people together.

“The multicultural nature of the Lower Mainland is also a huge advantage, ensuring that we can serve people in the ways that make them comfortable. It helps us differentiate ourselves,” she added.

“And the demographics here are very different [from other cities], certainly that gives good opportunities in my mind in Richmond,” said Small.

However, like many other cities, Richmond also has its challenges in this competitive tourism industry, according to Small.

“Because Richmond has such an Asian influence here, it really helps to attract Asian countries, especially China. That’s one of the growing markets for the Lower Mainland.

“It’s going to be very competitive space and how to differentiate ourselves is key. It’s something we have to work very hard at,” said Small.

“This offers good opportunities for our tourism products, in addition to the diversity of products in Richmond, such as seaside villages and the incredible food scene.”

As part of a long-term strategy, Tourism Richmond has recently launched a new brand called Pacific. Authentic. Richmond BC, which includes a video showcasing the natural and human beauty of Richmond.

“Our departure from the OTA is an act of protest to raise awareness about our concerns that the important role organic plays to support the health of consumers and our planet is being compromised,” said Arran Stephens, Nature’s Path founder and coCEO, in a press release.

The organization is also working on improving its digital platforms to make it easy for visitors to find information they need that leads to decisions right away.

“We believe giant food corporations, who also happen to own small organic brands, use the OTA to influence policy decisions to protect the best interests of their large, nonorganic food portfolios.”

Meanwhile, how to smooth out demand so it’s not concentrated in summer is also a constant battle.

The company believes that the new GMO labelling law in the U.S. could exclude almost three-fourths of products with genetically engineered ingredients and use confusing new GMO terminology and symbols for on-pack disclosures.

“Everybody wants to grow, but we want to grow at times that make sense,” said Small.

“As a tourism operator, how do you try to make growth persistent throughout the year?

That’s our biggest challenge.

It also accused the OTA of supporting the new bill without the knowledge or expressed consent of many organic members, such as Nature’s Path.

“The great thing is that our tourism products are not so seasonal in nature, unlike skiing and hiking, we can actually create an experience that can live, and be exciting and fulfilling for visitors all through the year.”

According to Nature’s Path, a couple of recent actions taken by the OTA have driven this decision, including supporting a “vague and misleading” national genetically modified organism (GMO) labelling law in the U.S., and allowing hydroponics to fall under the organic certification label, which the company believes has no organic agriculture or soil present.

“The video really showcases the Richmond that many people will be proud of. That pride as a resident is what we want to focus on,” said Small.

Iran and Croatia have never played for the Open championship but both are more than capable of making a

breakthrough after narrow one goal losses in last year’s semi-finals. There will be the usual perennial contenders too including five-time winner Ireland and Germany who haven’t hoisted the championship trophy since 2012.

The eight team women’s division has featured plenty of parity since

being launched back in 2005 with four different winners since 2014, led by defending champion Ireland.

The tournament kicks off Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. at Hugh Boyd, where the beer garden will be open and culminates Sunday with the finals for all age groups from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

“I just didn’t want to think about it because I was still in the competition so I was trying really hard to focus on what I had to do but it definitely sunk in a little bit and I got a little excited on the last throw,” she added.

Rogers graduated from McMath Secondary last year before launching her university career. She set a new Cal-Berkeley school record back in April with a throw of 65.61m.

X-Falcons capture 33rd annual Dolphin Classic another.”

Mark Booth

The X-Falcons’ road to the title was a tough one. They went 3-1 in round-robin play and that meant an extra quarter-final game against perennial powerhouse AthElite. The X-Falcons pulled out a 43-41 win thanks to a tip-in at the buzzer, then defeated a pair of unbeaten teams, including the Academy in the semi-finals.

RICHMOND NEWS

The 33rd annual Dolphin Classic featured plenty of hometown flavor continuing the legacy of the most successful team in the history of the 4-on-4 summer outdoor tournament.

X-Falcons captured their eighth title with a 73-63 victory over G2 Academy before another overlflow crowd at South Arm Park on Sunday night. Leading the way were two of the finest high school talents to come out of the city in the past decade: Elliot Mason and Brody Greig.

This was Mason’s fifth-time participating in the Dolphin and he admits his team has come a long way since their debut.

“When I was a kid, I just wanted to play in this tournament and be good enough to participate. Then when I started participating I wanted to make the playoffs and be in the finals,” added Mason. “We got our butts kicked that first year but it’s been a steady climb since. Now, you just want to stretch those goals and it’s a continuing process of getting better.”

Both went on to enjoy outstanding collegiate careers at Langara and now are leading the charge of the “next generation” of talent for the Falcons alumni team.

“Absolutely it means something. Just to follow guys like Randy Nohr and Navi Sekhon who are absolute legends here,” said Mason who was named the tournament’s MVP. “We were blessed to have Navi give us a little speech at halftime. We are honoured to be able to represent that name and are glad they gave us permission to do that.”

It was three years ago when Greig led the new era of X-Falcons to their first tournament win with MVP honours. Now it’s Mason’s

Roadrunners lose heartbreaker The Richmond Junior Roadrunners didn’t go down without a fight.

The B.C. Junior “B” Tier One Lacrosse League club saw its season end on Sunday afternoon in a 12-11 overtime loss to the Victoria Shamrocks at Minoru Arenas.

The best-of-three opening round series looked to be a mismatch on paper with the eighth seeded Roadrunners (5-13-0) up against the regular season champion Shamrocks (14-3-1). Also throw in the fact starting goaltender

Riku Jokela and head coach Neil Doddridge were unavailable for the series as members of Team Finland at the World Field Lacrosse Championships in Israel.

Despite the adversity, Richmond battled hard like it has all season.

Victoria posted a 10-5 win in the provincial capital on Saturday but trailed for much of game two. The hosts took a 9-6 lead into the final 20 minutes when the Shamrocks fought back to force overtime.

They outscored Richmond 2-1 in the 10-minute non-sudden-death overtime period.

Cade Blouin had a big game in a losing cause with a goal and seven assists. Jordan Roberts scored four times, while Josh Bourne and Ryan Jensen had two each.

Jaden Bourne and Jaden Leach rounded out the scoring.

In the series opener, goaltender Tyler Pongracz was terrific, making 50 saves.

JAWANDA, Leah (nee Ginter)

RANDALL, Mary Edith Candace

After a courageous fight with cancer, Leah Jawanda (nee Ginter), 46, passed away July 12, 2018 with her family at her side. She is survived by her children, Jasmine and Justin, their father Kuldip and her parents Doug and Linda Ginter, brother Mark and sister Tanya Rustin (Jeff). She will be greatly missed by her family and all that knew her.

Candy passed peacefully on July 10, 2018, in Richmond, B.C., after a valiant and vigorous battle with renal cancer that lasted over a year and a half.

A longtime area resident, Candy, born in Renfrew, Ontario, was in her 74th year.

Predeceased by her parents, Fen and Isabel of Toronto, she is survived by her best friend and sister Valerie of Buffalo, New York and her older brother Shayne of Peterborough, Ontario. Also, her daughter Kimberley Hicks of Redondo Beach, California and her legion of cousins, nieces and nephews will miss her sharp wit and her charming way.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, July 20, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 4260 Williams Road, Richmond, B.C.

Her love affair with the beauty of B.C. will be remembered by her many west coast friends as will her musings on the spirituality of life’s journey.

Candy led a colorful life punctuated by her adventures as a young traveler to Europe, Asia and Hawaii. Her zest for discovery motivated her for an entire lifetime. Family and friends will honour her at a remembrance on Vancouver Island next week and Peterborough, Ontario in the fall.

Donations in Candy’s memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
