VOICES

Whose parking spot is it anyway?

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Ah, the good old days.

When people would talk to each other instead of text. When if you missed a show on TV, you actually missed it. When picking up the milk meant bending down to get a glass bottle off your doorstep. And when your mom, kids in tow, used to walk a couple of miles to the store and back for groceries.

5

The latter of those yawns into yesteryear popped up this week on the Richmond News’ Facebook page (that’s a virtual page, not a real one, made of paper).

It was in the context of a Richmond dad of a newborn, lamenting the loss of parent/child and disabled parking spots near the entrance to Superstore on No. 3 Road, in favour of express pick-up online customers.

After the new father contacted the News, Loblaws, Superstore’s owner, reversed the parking spot removal, blaming it on “contractor error” (see story page 11).

However, it sparked an interesting online debate about the merits and justifications of preferential parking spots at big box stores and shopping malls.

17

Indeed, the opinions expressed on the News’ Facebook page varied widely.

There was rage at the loss of disabled spots and there were some questioning whether siblings of those with disabled decals should be allowed to use the spaces.

There were a few saying it was perfectly legitimate to have wider spots, near the entrance, for new parents and expectant moms.

And then there was the one who guffawed at the mere suggestion of parent/child priority parking and harkened back to when his mother used to hike with the little ones for miles to get the weekly supplies.

Fair play. I’m also guilty of dipping into the “when I was your age” story archive on occasion.

Double-bagging it, on a school day, as an 11-year-old newspaper delivery boy, at 6 a.m. — into the teeth of a west coast of Scotland wind/rain storm — is a particular favourite.

22

But we also used to think our planet was flat and used to shove 10-year-olds up chimneys with a brush.

Neither were correct. And I think, and sincerely hope, we’ve moved on a tad.

So if a soon-to-be mother, who is showing signs of being ready to give the gift of life, or a new parent could benefit from a wider parking spot a little closer to a store or mall entrance…so be it.

As for the disabled spots, well, that’s a no-brainer and I can’t entertain any arguments to the contrary.

If some are abusing that privilege, I guess it’s a small price to pay for the ones who genuinely need it.

It all boils down to the “haves” and “have nots.”

32

24

I am NOT expecting a child. I do NOT have a newborn or toddler and, thankfully, do NOT have a physical disability.

Therefore, I do NOT need a preferential parking spot and have no issue with those that do.

Turf’s too old to ensure safety and fun Dear Editor,

Richmond is known for excellent sporting facilities. It maintains a variety of fields used for sports like football, field hockey, soccer, lacrosse and baseball.

The quality, safety and accessibility of these facilities has become a hallmark of the city.

In 2006 the city installed Field (artificial) Turf at Hugh Boyd Park. At the time it was highly regarded, however, by 2010 this make of turf was discontinued due to poor quality and a successful class action suit against the manufacturer. This

turf is finally scheduled to be replaced next summer, eight years after the expiration of its warranty. In the meantime there are anecdotal reports of increased injuries due to the worn out turf, such as concussion, ligament tears, joint fractures and acute inflammation.

Similarly, the turf at the Minoru Oval, installed in 2008, is now six years past its warranty expiration and is now breaking down (see photo taken Sept. 3).

It’s not scheduled to be replaced until 2021. Poor quality, and worn out, artificial turf represent

safety and liability concerns for children and adults as well as the city, school boards and the sports clubs that use the fields.

In addition, the characteristics of the turf that resemble play on natural grass have long since disappeared rendering the playing field very hard and not conducive to good quality soccer.

juries. It would also be helpful if the city were to request that sports associations report their injury data annually so that it can be analyzed and inform the safety of facilities, training methods and perhaps even rules that can influence child participation rates, which for some safety related reasons, have been on the decline in recent years.

With this in mind it may be in everyone’s best interests for the replacement schedule, for Minoru Oval, and other worn out fields to be moved up to at least 2019 to minimize avoidable in-

Cat kills joy of gardening

DID YOU KNOW?

Dear Editor, I decided to grow my own veggies again this summer, but have some issues.

In 2017, the City of Richmond received

Our neighbors acquired a cat last year. It had been in our yard, we had caught it, called the number on the tag and returned it to its owners.

$16.8

Since then, the cat has been in our yard several times. I have placed cat deterrents on our property. The cat still “visits,” regardless. It seems the city bylaws allow unlicenced neutered/ spayed cats to roam at large, unlike most Canadian jurisdictions.

MILLION from gaming revenue from the River Rock Casino Resort

I went to harvest my potatoes, but noticed a rather noxious odour. After digging up a few potatoes I had found several cat feces in the soil. I find this rather disgusting and very unhealthy. I won’t bother growing anything in our yard again, despite the local “urban farm” encouragement.

Since River Rock Casino Resort’s opening in 2004, the City of Richmond has received

$211.6 MILLION

May I ask why the city actually allows unlicenced cats to roam at large, kill songbirds and contaminate our gardens?

to fund community initiatives, social programs and more.

Dedicated traffic unit needed Dear Editor, I see that Various RCMP jurisdictions in the Lower Mainland are going to test out cardboard cut out police officers to try and enforce speed limits.

This is a tactic that has been used before and slows down traffic for a while, until people realize that it is not a real officer manning the radar gun — much like the sign at No 4 Road and Steveston Highway that says radar ahead.

This does not work and as I have personally witnessed many cars doing 70 kmh or more on that stretch of road, passing marked police cars.

Maybe the upcoming municipal election will bring in a council and mayor who will take the prevalence of speeding and accidents that happen in Richmond seriously and set up a dedicated traffic enforcement unit that works full time on combatting this problem. Part-time, hit-and-miss enforcement does not work. Some of the $50 million of casino money that flows into the Richmond Oval will go a long way into creating a full-time dedicated traffic enforcement team that actually enforce the rules of the road — as they have in Delta, Burnaby and Vancouver.

Brian Bennett

I, for one, am tired of ever increasing insurance rates caused by bad drivers who take our traffic laws as more of a suggestion than the actual Law that it is.

Pot shops keep dealing down

Thanks for nothing, bike thief Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

Changes in bus routes has many local commuters frustrated.

Hear, hear on bus backfire Dear Editor, Re: “Bus bonus backfires in Richmond,” Letters, Sept. 13 I was really pleased to see a letter about this. It basically summed up everything I’ve been complaining about for the past couple weeks to anyone who’d listen to me!

I used to take the 410 to work every day from Railway Avenue to Cambie Road. Yes, it was sometimes late, but I was still able to check what time it was coming, and plan when I had to leave accordingly.

Now I have to transfer to the 410 just minutes after getting on the bus. I can’t predict how long I’ll have to wait to transfer, so it makes it hard to get to work on time. I now have to leave significantly earlier every single day to deal with these changes.

It seems TransLink didn’t think about all the people the split would affect. In my opinion, it was a very near-sighted decision. Putting in an express bus on the route, or alternating between Richmond Centre and 22 St. Station busses would have fixed the delay problem, without hurting others.

Thanks to Ju Cheng for starting the petition about this (https://www.change.org/p/translink-richmond-410-bussplit-reform). I signed it in a heartbeat!

To the rogue who felt the need to steal my 12-year old’s barely used bicycle yesterday — thanks a lot.

The Richmond First party is using “No Retail Marijuana in Richmond” as a selling point for their platform, for the upcoming election. I find it a shame that Richmond residents think this is a good idea.

I am a single parent and my son has had a difficult year, including starting a brand new school. This bike was a Christmas present but only ridden about six times.

With the already existing black market in Richmond, the lack of dispensaries will reward drug dealers by allowing them to stay in business. While many people will make the trips into any of the surrounding cities, lots will just continue using the black market as a much more convenient way of obtaining their product.

Yesterday, he decided to take it to school (Lord Byng Elementary) and, you guessed it... school ends and out he goes to find no bike. Yes, it was locked, but that did not deter the thief.

In addition, the lack of dispensaries will make it easier for youth to get their hands on cannabis. Dispensaries check ID, drug dealers don’t. It doesn’t get any more simple. Yet people don’t seem to understand.

So, if you see someone with a black Supercycle with red highlights and white writing who didn’t have one before yesterday, maybe that’s my son’s.

It’s pretty cruel to steal from a kid and cause financial hardship for a parent. While the bike was not an expensive one, it was what I could afford at the time.

Birth tourism a blight Dear Editor, We Canadians are slow moving, trusting individuals in a world moving faster and faster.

We have laws written when people traveled by steamships.

Tens of thousands of people line up to become Canadians.

From those applicants, we pick those who can pay their own way and add to our economy.

We also select people to unite them with their families. People line up for years.

Or, by paying $8,000 you can have an instant Canadian at Richmond Hospital’s maternity ward.

I find the creation of a $8,000 fake Canadian very offensive personally and offensive to those thousands of applicants who fol-

low the proper system.

Birth tourism could be stopped in a day by our parliament. Our local MPs seem to be in support of blocking this back door access. If only they could stop bickering over wording, this back door could be closed quickly.

Meanwhile, it was reported that one birth tourism mom stiffed us taxpayers for more than a million dollars in medical charges and now cannot be found.

Choose wisely this election Dear Editor, One cannot help but wonder if Canada is one of the few countries where you can run for the mayor of a city while being investigated by the Law Society of BC for the misplacement of millions of dollars. Or, an incumbent school trustee can run for another term when she mistook the voting of an important school district policy as a vote for the adjournment of a meeting....and then claim she made a mistake.

Nice guys finish last and that is where we are. There is nothing in birth tourism for Canada.

People, please pay close attention to the upcoming election. This is your voice for the future of Richmond. Do not vote for a name just because you recognize it. Get out and attend the all-candidates meeting — city council and school board. And make sure you understand and agree with the candidates’ platforms.

Richmond’s future is in your hands.

Eric Sykes

Joanne Teraguchi

Until the back door is properly closed, I suggest hospitals charge $75,000 up front to, at least, protect taxpayers.

City can’t refuse pot greenhouse: Court Avtar Dhillon has resumed construction of 2 greenhouses on his farm property after the BC Supreme Court sided with him, saying Richmond didn’t have the authority to forbid medical marijuana production in the ALR. Megan Devlin photo

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

The BC Supreme Court has struck down an attempt by the City of Richmond to stop the chair of a medical cannabis company from building a greenhouse on a farm in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The decision, centering on a 21-acre plot of land near No.9 Road and Westminster Highway, has implications for cannabis companies and the municipalities hoping to forbid them from growing weed on agricultural land.

“The municipality [Richmond] tried to regulate something that they didn’t have the power to regulate,” said Joan Young, a lawyer with McMillan LLP who has written about the case. “They can use their bylaws in all sorts of ways, but they can’t override provincial laws.”

Avtar Dhillon, a family doctor by training and executive chairman of Emerald Health Therapeutics, a Victoria-based medical cannabis firm, owns the Richmond farm in question along with his wife.

In early 2017, he began construction on two greenhouses and an electrical building at 6980 No. 9 Road. The City of Richmond, suspecting he may use the greenhouses for medical cannabis production, denied him the building permits and also issued a stop work order.

Richmond amended its zoning bylaws in 2003 to forbid medical cannabis production on the ALR. But in May 2015, the province recognized that federal medical cannabis production can happen on the ALR. The court found in its Aug. 24 decision that Richmond’s zoning bylaw was inconsistent with provincial ALR rules, and that the city could not prohibit a farm use that ALR regulations specifically allow.

It also found that the city was unlawful in withholding a permit based on a suspicion that the applicant may engage in illegal activity in the future.

Councillors seek clarification on weed regulation

When the city issued the stop work order, Dhillon was not growing cannabis on the property, but laying the foundations of the greenhouses.

“The stop work order was based on what they were thinking might happen not what was actually happening,” Young said.

Dhillon said he felt “vindicated” by the decision, and told the News he is a “bonafide farmer.”

He wouldn’t say whether he was planning to use the greenhouses for cannabis production, only saying he would choose the crop that makes the most economic sense.

He added the most “economically productive” crop may change as time goes on.

“The big problem is destroying the land with large concrete structures. Those operations can go in an industrial area. I’m not opposed to legalizing marijuana; I’m opposed to industrialization of farmland,” Coun. Harold Steves told the News back in January.

Dhillon, however, said building a greenhouse allows his farm to be versatile.

“If you’re really saying you want to support farmers then allow farmers to compete on a global scale with commodities that allow higher value,” he said.

He also thinks concerns that cannabis production will squeeze out food production on agricultural land are “fear-mongering.”

“There’s a range of products we can grow,” he said. “Whether it’s tomatoes or cucumbers or herbal remedies or nutritional items that will have greater value, like ginseng or wasabi.”

He points to forecasts from Deloitte and Health Canada that suggest Canadians will demand between 800,000 and one million kilograms of cannabis per year after legalization.

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said it would not be appropriate for the city to comment because it is still an “active legal matter.”

Knowing how productive greenhouses can be, Dhillon estimates it will take about 250 acres of land country-wide to meet that demand. For reference, there are more than 12,000 acres of farmland in Richmond.

An April report noted that council only wanted one medical cannabis production facility in the city, and wanted that facility to be on industrial land.

After that, he says, price pressure won’t make it attractive for farmers to grow cannabis anymore since there won’t be the de-

With less than one month until the legalization of recreational marijuana, Richmond city council still has several questions and concerns.

At last week’s city council meeting, councillors requested that city staff gather more information from the province on how local governments can regulate the growth of cannabis for personal use.

“We’re one month away from legalization, basically, and I’m a little concerned we’re asking for this kind of stuff at this time,” said Coun. Bill McNulty at the Sept. 10 council meeting.

McNulty added that he wanted to know what rights Richmond citizens or neighbours had if someone nearby was growing cannabis.

“I know if lavender is next door to me and I have an allergy to it, I can go talk to my neighbour and they’d probably move the lavender plants to the back or something like that. But what rights do I have if you’re growing cannabis?”

McNulty also said he’d like to know what the city can do to regulate cannabis growth for personal use.

“What powers are we going to have as a municipality? Is anything going to be given to us in addition to what we have now? Because we’re the ones that are footing the bill at the moment,” he said.

For Coun. Chak Au, municipal powers need to be clarified, and the province needs to step in and guide cities to avoid chaos “I think it’s better for the city to ask for clarification on the authority that we have,” he said during the council meeting, adding that “it would be advisable for (the province) to come up with a universal system that can be applied to all cities.”

For Coun. Carol Day, the legalization deadline itself is coming up too quickly.

“We don’t want to be like Vancouver and have a pot store on every corner.”

City staff was tasked with seeking clarification from the province on how personal cultivation of marijuana is to be regulated.

Store axes parent/child, disabled spots Priority parking will be restored: Loblaws Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

A new dad has questioned a supermarket giant’s priorities, after the store replaced parent/child and disabled parking spots with express pick-up places.

Dan Keil has shopped at Real Canadian Superstore on No. 3 Road for more than a decade and patronized the national grocery chain, owned by Loblaws, all his life.

But he was shocked last week when he arrived at the store — with his wife Arleigh and newborn baby girl Maren — to find all the wider, parent/child spots near the front door were gone.

In their place were six, shiny new signs for “express” customers, who order their groceries online and have them hand-delivered to the parking spot.

Keil said he immediately expressed his disgust and disbelief to the operations manager, only to be told that the store had halved the family spots and moved a handicap spot, in favour of express customers.

claimed that the parent/child and disabled parking spots were removed by mistake by a contractor.

According to Keil, one of the managers told him they’d received other complaints but that it was a Loblaws decision, not his.

“Since Maren was born, we’ve used the (parent/child) spots here several times,” Keil told the Richmond News.

“But then a whole row of family spots were simply deleted and, as far as I can tell, the disabled spots were moved further away.

None of this was disputed by the managers when I asked them why.

“We’re reversing that (error) now,” she said.

“I get it, they don’t have an obligation to provide these spots, but to see a business removing them to prioritize online customers, that doesn’t sit well with me.”

The News pointed out that, if it was contractor error, why did the store managers indicate to Keil they were fully aware of the changes?

Keil said he was “seriously questioning” where he will shop in the future.

“It shows a lack of empathy and understanding for young families,” he added.

Murder victim’s family plea Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

One year after the death of 41-year-old Richmond resident Joseph Lucien De Carvalho, the victim’s family is asking the public to bring forward information on his murder.

In the early hours of Sept. 18, 2017, De Carvalho was shot near No. 4 and Blundell roads. At the time, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said De Carvalho was “known to police, and his death (was) believed to be targeted.”

His homicide was the seventh of 2017.

“Joe was a quiet, happy and sometimes mischievous child with a brilliant smile, loved by his family and friends alike,” said his family in a statement.

“We miss him dearly, especially his four nephews, who were all close to their Uncle Joe. Now they will miss him for the rest of their lives. It has been a year since someone unjustly ended Joe’s life, but we mourn him without closure...”

IHIT is continuing to investigate De Carv-

Mayor hopeful in middle of $13M lawsuit

Hong Guo one of many defendants Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Chinese investors claim they are $13 million out of pocket after a $40 million Richmond development deal, involving mayor candidate Hong Guo, turned sour.

Qing Yan and his wife Kaiming Yu are suing fellow investors Zhongping Xu and his wife Xiaohong Liu, real estate lawyer Guo and three other companies, after pulling out of a joint agreement to develop a 4.6-acre high-density, residential area at Minoru Boulevard and Lansdowne Road.

Back in 2013, Yan and Yu, living in Hubei, China, met Guo who assisted them with their Canadian immigration application.

Guo subsequently introduced the couple to Zhongping Xu and his wife, who “advised Mr. Yan that he was looking for an investor to participate in a high-density mixed-use commercial and residential development project in the Richmond Minoru Blvd area,” according to a lawsuit filed at the Supreme Court of B.C. Soon after that, the plaintiffs and the Xu couple entred into a joint agreement to develop the land, which would require an investment of $40 million, under the name of a company called Vancouver Soho.

According to the agreement, the company would receive $20 million from a financial institution, the Xu couple would invest $12 million for a 60 per cent ownership in Vancouver Soho, and Yan and his wife would invest $8 million for a 40 per cent ownership.

Later, the Xu couple required a $4 million “short-term loan” from Yan and his wife and agreed to pay three per cent monthly interest “through an oral agreement,” according to the lawsuit.

In the process, Guo provided Yan and his wife, neither of whom are fluent in English, with legal advice, and also represented the Xu couple and Vancouver Soho, according to Glen Forrester, of Forrester & Company Barristers, on behalf of Yan and Yu. “All of these companies had divergent and often conflicting legal interests, and by normal legal standards should have been represented by separate counsel,” he added.

Things started to hit the fan at the end of 2014, when Yan and his wife claimed that they didn’t receive the repayment Xu had promised, and the project was not moving forward. Being in financial distress, they decided to pull out of the project.

In the summer of 2015, Guo located a company called 1032821 BC Ltd.(1032), which agreed to purchase the plaintiffs’ shares, and the debts the Xu couple owed to Yan and his wife, for $14 million, in exchange for a 60 per cent share in Vancouver Soho, according to the lawsuit.

“1032821 BC Ltd. was incorporated by Ms. Guo, and also appears to have received legal advice from her in respect to an agreement to purchase shares in Vancouver Soho,” said Forrester.

However, Yan claims that he and his wife have only received $1 million from 1032 ever since, and according to a Share Transfer Agreement, they were entitled to reclaim the shares if 1032 failed to pay.

“Ms. Guo then proceeded to transfer and deliver shares to 1032821 BC Ltd., in breach of various agreements,” said Forrester.

“As a result, Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yu presently have lost all of their shares, which are in the name and apparently in the possession of 1032821 BC Ltd. “Ms. Guo subsequently advised Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yu that they were unable to reclaim their shares in Vancouver Soho, and that their shares in Vancouver Soho now belonged to 1032821 BC Ltd., despite their not having received payment for their shares.”

The allegations have not been proven in court.

In 1032’s response to the lawsuit, the company claims it “was made aware of the fact that Ms. Yu was encountering financial distress. As such, Ms. Yu requested that the defendant (1032) immediately pay to her $1 million as payment for Yu’s 40 per cent shares in Vancouver Soho,” which are worth $8 million.

But Forrester said neither Yan nor Yu ever met anyone from 1032, and “in fact Ms. Guo and Mr. Xu acted as their gobetweens in all negotiations with the company.”

1032 didn’t explain the other $5 million that Yan and Yu accused it of failing to pay in its response.

According to the lawsuit, Yan and his wife even “suspected that 1032 was controlled by the Xu couple and Ms. Guo,” but this was denied by 1032.

Guo was required by law to file a defence to the civil claim by July 18 but she has not responded to date. She also hasn’t responded to the Richmond News’ interview request.

Yan said a hearing will take place on Oct. 30.

Kids’ wigs theft: Hair salon steps up The VPD seized the wigs and is continuing its investigation.

No arrests have been made.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Some of the stolen wigs, destined for sick kids who’ve lost their hair, have been recovered by police.

At around 10 p.m. last Thursday night, the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) received a call that a bag of wigs was in a hotel hallway in the Downtown Eastside.

Wigs for Kids BC (W4K), which is headquartered in Steveston, said some of the hair collected at local “cut-a-thons” would have been used for the stolen wigs, which are made for kids fighting cancer and other serious illnesses.

However, Hennessey Salon, at Richmond Centre, has stepped up and is hosting its 6th Hennessey Hair Do benefitting W4K on Sunday, Oct. 21, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A minimum donation of $40 is being asked for a cut/style.

Book appointments now at 604-482-3262. The stylists are donating their time with all proceeds going to W4K. W4K is also looking for people to donate their hair (eight inches and chemically untreated).

Meanwhile, VPD’s Const. Jason Doucette said, “The person who located the bag of wigs immediately linked them to the media coverage about the theft and called 9-1-1.

“Although we’ve recovered a portion of the wigs, the investigation remains a priority. We would like to get the remainder of the property back and make an arrest in this case.”

The suspect was described as dark-skinned with noticeably long, black hair. He was last seen walking away from the wig store carrying a large black garbage bag and wearing a denim or blue jacket.

Anyone with information about the suspect, or the location of the rest of the stolen wigs, is asked to call VPD Property Crime investigators at 604-717-0610 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

W4K, which helps raise money for sick kids who’ve lost their hair, has appealed to the public in light of last week’s theft.

After hearing of the recovery, W4K’s Bev Friesen said, “that’s wonderful. I would like to thank the public and the media for all of their support. I will be curious to see which wigs were recovered and if the ponytails donated (by W4K) to make the wigs were found, too.”

Friesen told the News how the store targeted by the thief made wigs for W4K. “The kids go along there to get their head sized. It’s such a shame,” she said.

“Not only is this a setback for the Wigs for Kids BC program, as we pay for these wigs, but more importantly it’s just heartbreaking for the kids who were anxiously waiting to pick up their new wigs on Monday and to proudly wear them for the start of a new school year.”

The thief, added Friesen, also made off with all of the longer ponytails, making it very difficult to make and replace the stolen ones.

Partly joking, Friesen urged people to grow their hair as fast as they can to help replace the wigs, which are made out of human hair and are sown into the wig, one hair at a time.

“People can donate, make pledges to people having their hair cut. We are hoping to host some events in October and November.”

Friesen said W4K is “anxious to try and replace the stolen hair as well as raising funds to help pay for the wigs.”

Anyone wanting to help should go online to WigsForKidsBC. com.

Ceiling tiles fall on family in mall Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

The last thing you expect to happen when you are having lunch at a food court is for the ceiling to fall on you.

But that’s just what happened when Crystal Pisa was eating with her family at the Pacific Plaza food court, at Cambie and Garden City roads.

“All of a sudden, the ceiling, the tiles just fell on us. There was water everywhere, food everywhere. We were very shocked and both of my sons started crying,” recalled Pisa.

The tiles were “fairly large,” according to Pisa, and covered the whole table when they landed before breaking off into little pieces.

“When the tiles fell, they fell right across the face of my younger son, aged 3.

One hit him on the top of his head, scratching him all down his face, his forehead, his cheek and his nose,” said Pisa.

“My older son was drenched, soaking wet from head to toe, because there was water coming out of the ceiling when the tiles fell.”

A man in charge of the building on the day came to check the scene and talk to the family, but Pisa said his reaction was “disappointing.”

“He didn’t apologize to us, or check if everyone was ok.

He was just assessing the situation and gathering information,” said Pisa.

The family reached out to the property manager later

and received a short response saying that they were aware of the incident and had passed it on to the insurance company.

“It was very upsetting to us because the response was so cold, it was not reflective of what actually affected our family,” said Pisa.

that one of their inspectors went to investigate after a witness reported it. “(It was) due to moisture leaking from the roof membrane above, inundating the tile. It represents a maintenance issue that has no bearing on the quality of construction,” said Ted Townsend,

“Yes, our stuff got damaged, but our children got hurt, and they were so upset for days after.

spokesperson for the city.

“The building management was made aware of the issues and expectations for maintenance by the attendant building inspector.”

He said constructions in Richmond are approved through a permitting process,

and a building “should be safe regardless of the age” if being approved.

When asked how often buildings are inspected in Richmond, Townsend responded, “inspection schedules vary, depending upon a number of considerations.”

The Richmond News reached out to AA property management, the managers of Pacific Plaza. An employee, who refused to give her name, said no one from the company can respond to the incident and that it has been passed on to the insurance company.

your

“It was so upsetting to know that the person managing the building did not even send out an apology or take any type of responsibility.”

Pisa added that it has been weeks and no one has followed up on the case or asked them questions.

Growing up in Richmond and now living in Surrey, Pisa said she and her family felt very comfortable going to places in Richmond until the incident happened.

table awaits at

“Obviously it’s something that’s preventable if they were managing and maintaining the building properly and doing inspections. Roofs don’t just collapse in on public spaces and people,” said Pisa.

“If this is one part of the building, I don’t know what else is going on in the building. It’s scary to think that it could be a lot worse. And we don’t feel safe, also, because we haven’t had a response or explanation for why it happened.

“We hope they are really looking into the incident and correct the issue. We are hoping to prevent further damage to other people.”

The City of Richmond said it is aware of the incident and

Navigating the requirements of mortgages is tricky whether you are a firsttime buyer or a returning client.

The specificities of the industry are precise, elaborate and, at times, misleading.

In order to abstain from mistakes and ensure a positive experience with the process, finding help is encouraged.

And at Real Mortgage Services, help will always be found.

“The employment of a mortgage broker, especially by first time buyers and even returning clients, has increased roughly 38%,” said Gord Pipkey, owner and broker at Real Mortgage Services. “We hope to provide all our clients with the best professional service and rates from our team of experienced mortgage brokers.”

tips he would like to share to all potential clients: 1. Potential clients should engage with a broker to find the best rate based on qualifications rather than going from lender to lender.

2. Clients should provide broker sufficient information and documentation as requested in order for the broker to produce an accurate preapproval.

3. Clients should always complete a personal consultation with a broker to develop an efficient, trusting working relationship.

4. Clients should always advise their broker of any substantial change in their application.

5. If clients are no longer interested in working with their broker due to developing a working relationship with a lender or another broker, clients should always advise their original broker to cancel their open file.

The team at Real Mortgage Services hopes all potential clients consider the impact their decisions have and how important help can be in this difficult decision.

Richmond Denture Clinic

Having dentures means more than just flashing a perfect smile – it can impact how you speak, eat, look, hear, and feel. Having them when you need them can improve how you feel and act everyday.

Alternatively, Sonia Raeisi at Richmond Denture Clinic warns that not having dentures or having dentures that do not fit properly can result in harmful, and sometimes irreparable consequences that can effect your day-to-day activities. People can get headaches, experience ringing in the ears, bone loss and even digestive problems,” she said.

Raeisi has been a denturist since 2007, after graduating top of her class and receiving several awards and scholarships at Vancouver Community College. In addition to running a full service clinic, she provides denture services at Semiahmoo Dental Centre and Tsawwassen Family Dental. Raeisi also aids dental surgeons in the Lower Mainland and is an active member in the denturist community, formerly teaching future denturists at CDI College and serving on the Denturist Association of B.C. Furthermore, she adds, “ill-fitting dentures can cause irritation and sores on the gums and hyperplasia.” According to National Cancer Institute’s

(NCI) website, hyperplasia is an increase in the amount of cells in an organ or tissue. In this case, it is a product of the constant trauma on the mouth tissues caused by ill-fitting dentures. The new cells, according to NCI, are not cancer, though they can become cancerous.

Failing to get dentures at the right time can also impact your overall health. On top of bone loss, the lower jaw can become misaligned and move out of its proper position. In severe cases, Raeisi said, “denturists may not be able to put the lower jaw back into its proper position and the patient will have a harder time adjusting to new dentures because of the drastic jaw relationship.

On a final note, Raeisi spoke to the importance of seeing a denturist. Raeisi said that “denturists are specialized in the area,” meaning the procedures, treatments and aesthetics of the prosthesis are better off in the hands of a specialist.

To find out more about Richmond Denture Clinic, call 604-273-4221 or email info@ richmonddentureclinic.ca. To see before and after pictures, visit www.richmonddentureclinic.ca. You can also follow the clinic on Instagram, like them on Facebook, and give them a Google review.

Sakata also supports further limiting house sizes on ALR land and is opposed to Chinese-only signage.

Roy Sakata a long career in education working with the Richmond school board and the Gitxsan First Nation. During his time living in northern B.C., he was formally adopted into the wolf clan and given a Gitxsan name that means “white fingers.” Sakata likes it because it evokes the image of his hands coated in chalk dust after a lesson at the blackboard.

Sakata was born in a WWII Japanese internment camp in B.C. in 1942. After being released, his family relocated to Quadra Island where his father, who was born in Richmond, worked as a fisherman.

Richmond’s fishing history is dear to Sakata, and he’s a member of the Britannia Heritage Shipyard Society.

“The language issue, sadly, has been so divisive in Richmond,” he said. “[My mother, who spoke Japanese] said when someone doesn’t understand your language, talk the language they understand,” he said.

He believes the answer is bilingualism.

As for legalized cannabis, Sakata said he’s open to government-operated retail stores selling the plant in Richmond, but not privatelyrun ones.

Another of Sakata’s concerns is what the sharing economy means for Richmond, with Airbnb already plentiful and ride-sharing services like Uber on the horizon. Sakata said he’d like to see those services integrated with existing ones like hotels and taxis to ensure providers are properly vetted.

Sakata moved back to Richmond from northern B.C. in 2009 to care for his wife

Financial watchdog Mayor hopeful won’t enters mayor race accept campaign cash more resident-driven planning commissions.

Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

A self-appointed watchdog of the city’s finances has stepped into the mayor’s race.

Donald Flintoff is a long-time Donald Richmond resident and professional engineer, who has served as a member of the Richmond Advisory Planning Committee. He is also a founding member of the Richmond Taxpayers Alliance, a group that says it “investigates bureaucratic and political decisions in Richmond to expose excessive taxation.”

For Flintoff, the decision to run for mayor was about making the biggest impact possible.

“You’ve got a bunch of people running for council and almost nobody is running for mayor. I sort of looked at this and said ‘ok, if I’m going to have any impact at all serving four years on council waiting to get to mayor I’ll be too old,’” said Flintoff.

“This is sort of my last kick at it.”

Flintoff said that, if elected, he would want

“The people have to have a say whether they want all these high rises or not, what they’re going to do about affordable housing and how are they going to keep businesses in Richmond,” he said.

“And there should be a finance committee that looks at the finances before it gets to council.”

Flintoff’s campaign website also highlights his desire to move away from a complaintbased process.

“The City currently operates on a complaint basis instead of a proactive enforcement basis – this will change,” his website says.

“Long-standing unresolved issues will be dealt with effectively and swiftly. Council will listen to you and act if I’m elected.”

Flintoff, who has also been extremely vocal about the city’s spending on the Oval, added his desire for a more accessible government, explaining that he had a hard time getting access to the city’s financial records even through freedom of information requests.

Flintoff’s website says he will appoint a freedom of information officer if elected.

Thursday marks one month until Richmond’s municipal election and at least one mayoral candidate has vowed to not accept any campaign donations.

Cliff Wei

Cliff Wei is no stranger to political campaigns. In fact, the Richmond resident ran for mayor in the 2014 election, in 2013 for MLA for Richmond East and in 2011 for council.

But the reason Wei said he didn’t win his last mayoral race was due to campaign finances and the fact he does not accept donations.

“If I take the rich peoples’ money and I don’t take the poor peoples’ money, who will I work for? And most people that have a lot of money are the developers,” he said.

“Why would I take political donations and do things like a business? I made the decision. I don’t take (donations).”

Wei said this affected his campaign significantly, adding that, “the money really

Since his campaign in 2014, Wei said he’s been working to get his name recognized in Richmond, including on social media and by participating in a political talk show with Fairchild Radio where he’s shared many of his views.

“For that reason, when I put my name out, I don’t need to provide my political platform. People already know me,” he said.

“So it’s quite different than four years ago.”

That platform includes ideas on creating a bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel, establishing a Richmond-based police force instead of working with the RCMP and developing an app to collect input from residents.

Wei also wants to focus on city planning, and compares Richmond to Beijing, warning against possible similar water shortages and air pollution.

“If everything goes right, I would have no worries. I don’t have to run in any public position,” he said. “I find the city is going to the wrong direction.”

“If we are successful in getting these six people (elected), it will be a very strong team,” Hamaguchi told the Richmond News, adding that he believes the group has the “will and determination” to make difficult decisions.

Hamaguchi explained the group is calling themselves progressive because they are “more prepared to move forward.”

“Based on my last four years within the boardroom, we’ve had some really good discussion over the issues, but I find that there’s almost too much talk and not enough action,” Hamaguchi said.

“People want to be really sure before we move ahead, which I understand…but you do have to take some chances… if you’re going to be a leader you’ve got to lead in the popular issues and the less popular issues.”

“One of the things we’re committed to, once it gets up and running, is to monitor it,” he said. “If parents have a fear about something then it’s real to them…if their fear is based on a lack of (understanding) then I think we owe it to them provide that information.”

The newly-formed Richmond Education Party will run as a team for school trustee.

Hamaguchi also highlighted the team’s support of the newlyapproved sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) policy, which was championed by incumbent Nixon.

For new candidate Karina Reid, emergency preparedness in schools is top of mind and Hamaguchi says she’s been a “strong advocate” on the issue.

“Some schools have a great amount of supplies and some don’t. So how do we use funds or what do we do to help those other schools as a district,” Reid told the News.

Hamaguchi cautions against candidates who wanted to reverse the policy.

Reid, who is a Richmond District Parent Association representative, said she was excited to be approached to run with the Richmond Education Party.

“That would be a big mistake,” Hamaguchi said. “The biggest fault in the policy lies in the fact that maybe we could have done more to educate people about what it is.

“All of our values align really well. When I realized what a great team this was, I was like ‘yes, we can do this, we’re going to bring a new perspective and fresh ideas.’”

11 indies run for council Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

The deadline to submit nomination papers for Richmond’s election was on Friday, and a total of 11 independent candidates stepped forward to run for council.

Entering the race, Andy Chiang, who grew up in Richmond, said he decided it was time to take action.

“I’m the type of person who likes to complain about a lot of things and instead of complaining…I figured it’s time to try to do something about it,” Chiang told the Richmond News.

Chiang said one area he’ll focus on is traffic safety and proposes awareness campaigns through signage or on the radio to remind drivers to stay safe on the roads.

Theresa Head, who moved to Richmond from Newfoundland in 1995, says she plans to focus on affordable housing, empty condos, outreach, improved transit and shelters.

“Richmond has 120 to 150 people that are homeless…because we don’t see them, or the public doesn’t see

them, they don’t think it’s an issue,” she said. “The problem is they are there.”

and common sense to practical problems found in (Richmond).”

Zhe Zhang told the News by email that he is running for council because “Richmond city council need a representative who not only understands what’s happening in Chinese community, but also dares to take responsibility.”

Richmond lawyer Jason Tarnow says he’ll advocate for “respecting taxpayers’ dollars and smarter spending” as well as “ensuring proper funding for all public safety initiatives, mental health and addiction services.”

Emigrating from Uganda, candidate Adil Awan has lived in Richmond since 1974 and wants “to bring ‘the voice of the people to city hall and exclusively answer to the residents of Richmond’ without being tied to specific party interests.”

Alexa Loo is the only incumbent seeking re-election independently. She was elected to council in 2014 and says she’s “passionate about people and (her) community and creating spaces that bring (Richmondites) together to have fun, compete, learn, relax and share.”

Manjit Singh, who has lived in Richmond for 18 years, says he wants to “strengthen the unity in diversity, by building new senior centers and community halls” in Richmond.

Dennis Page, whose candidate profile says he has lived in Richmond since childhood and that his “common sense and a bit more focus on what’s best for home – and less reliance on international needs and money sources” will be his “guiding principles.”

Patrick Saunders, who ran in Richmond’s last election for council, says he’s running again because he feels the city still “needs balance, social justice

The News has previously covered John Roston’s campaign, which began as citizen-led petition. Roston has been vocal on farmland home sizes and Onni’s rezoning in Steveston.

Kerry Starchuk, whose campaign was also previously covered by the News, has long advocated for language bylaws and clampdowns on birth tourism.

Twelve other non-incumbents are also running for council and are part of four slates. For more on these slates, check out Richmond-News.com/Election-2018.

15-woman classic play at Gateway Entire show unfolds into chaos in a kitchen full of repressed women what that reality was like on stage.”

Daisy Xiong

Now, 50 years later, a lot of the topics talked about in the play are still relevant to people, according to Perras.

RICHMOND NEWS

“It’s so crazy because it’s still very very apropos,” she said.

Les Belles-soeurs, a classic Canadian show first produced in 1968 in Quebec, will this month have its English debut on the West Coast at Gateway Theatre, marking its 50th anniversary.

“There is judgement, there is envy, and there is everybody that wants more than they have — so a lot of consumerism and how we want so much, and how the society is built up in that way.”

“The whole play happens in a kitchen, in one evening, among 15 women, and happens almost in real time,” France Perras, who plays the main character in the show, Germaine, said to the Richmond News.

She said the play also dives into women’s relationships and everyday situations in society.

“It’s very interesting how it’s still quite present-day — mother and daughters not getting along, sisters not getting along, relationships, friendships, religion, all that stuff.”

In 1960s Montreal, housewife Germaine Lauzon has won one million Gold Star stamps that she can trade in for gifts or household goods.

Perras said having a show with 15 women on the stage all at the same time is a “nice treat.”

But first she needs to pin all the stamps to a booklet to win the award, so she invites all her sisters, friends and neighbours for a stamp-sticking party.

“You don’t see that often; it’s beautiful,” she said.

“It’s like winning a giant $6 million dollars nowadays,” said Perras.

“You get to see 15 women who all work in theatre, often in town in Vancouver — some of the most talented women on stage right now, and they are all on the same stage.

“So there are conversations and the whole thing unravels.

“Basically everybody gets very jealous, and would like those million stamps for themselves.

Melissa Oei, France Perras and Agnes Tong are three of the 15 women that make Les Belles-soeurs, a play about a woman who invites friends and neighbours to help her win a million-dollar award. Photo by David Cooper

“And a bit of breakdown happens.”

Perras said the show is comedic with some darker undertones.

“The playwright Michel Tremblay wanted to present a picture of what society

was like in 1965 Quebec,” said Perras.

“These women were repressed. They

worked very very hard, and they were kind of put down. He wanted to show

“That is a huge highlight of the show.”

Les Belles-soeurs, produced by Ruby Slippers Theatre, will show at Gateway Theatre from Sept. 27 to Oct. 6.

Christine McCrea BOOK CLUB

In Richard Powers’ novel The Overstory, trees, the powerhouses of the Earth, draw in a cast of characters from vastly different backgrounds.

There’s Nicholas Hoel, whose family has spent generations documenting the growth of the Hoel Chestnut tree with one photograph a month over a series of lifetimes; Olivia Vandergriff, whose college party days are stopped dead by her electrocution; and Mimi Ma, whose Chinese immigrant father instilled a love of trees in his three daughters. There’s Neelay Mehta, whose fall from a tree made him a paraplegic, an accident which spurred him to create digital worlds that take gamers beyond the bounds of Earth. And there’s Patricia Westerford, a dendrologist whose studies have brought tree communication to the attention of the scientific community and beyond.

There many more characters as well, each of whom has a moment of insight which focuses their attention on the plight of the forests. Each is moved to do something to save them. Nicholas and Olivia, in fact, spend an entire year living in an old-growth tree to prevent its destruction.

When Nick and Olivia team up with Mimi, Adam and Douglas, all of whom have been inspired to join the ranks of the anti-logging movement, they begin to plan their own actions that grow more and more dangerous.

Protests lead to arson, which leads to something far beyond what they expect.

Meanwhile, Neelay continues to expand his digital worlds, realizing that the Earth can no longer meet the needs of human desire. And Dr. Westerford continues her research, proving that trees have communication systems, can sense impending disaster, live in tandem with surrounding animals, and provide untold healing and pharmaceuticals to humans.

All of these diverse characters and stories are linked by the overarching story of the tree. Powers fills The Overstory with scientific facts and a wealth of information about trees and the forest. Part epic, part popular science, part political manifesto, The Overstory is a riveting and timely tale. As each character takes a stand to protect the forests, whether it’s in the protest camp or their own backyard, readers are forced to consider their own position and whether the long term damage we inflict on Earth can be justified by our ever-growing desires.

Mooncakes anyone? Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Richmond Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

The days are getting shorter and mornings are getting chillier, meaning harvest season and the annual Mid-Autumn Festival are coming to Richmond.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, important in Chinese culture, is a celebration of family, unity and the harvest. Richmond has plenty going on mark this special time of year.

The Richmond Chinese Community Society is hosting their annual Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration at Lansdowne Centre beginning at 12:30 p.m. The event will feature lion and dragon dances, folk dance performances, calligraphy demonstrations and a singing performance by Alisha Wong.

The first 600 attendees will also receive a free mooncake.

Several prominent Richmond politicians are expected to attend, including Mayor Malcolm Brodie, MPs Joe Peschisolido and Alice Wong and MLAs Jas Johal, Teresa Watt and Linda Reid.

Later in the afternoon, the City Centre Community Association is hosting their fourth annual Harvest Moon Celebration starting at 5:30 p.m. It will begin at City Centre Community Centre, where guests can enjoy live music, lantern art stations, mooncakes and purchase tea by donation.

Then, the celebration will move to Minoru Park where members of the Vancouver Chinese Lion Dance Association will lead guests in a lantern procession around the lagoon. Afterwards, there will be a lion dance ceremony.

This month’s full harvest moon will be visible on Monday night, Sept. 24. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is at its fullest.

The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (above) has been a popular and colourful addition to the cultural scene in Richmond in recent years.

Religion, politics mix in Richmond Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Michael Sachs swears he didn’t time the annual Sukkot Celebration to run close to the municipal election.

It’s simply a coincidence that The Bayit synagogue on No. 3 Road at Steveston Highway is hosting the event on Sept.

26, just a few weeks shy of the Oct. 20 election, with around 15 local politicians expected to attend.

After all, Sachs, The Bayit’s president, is governed by the Jewish calendar, not the Gregorian one many of us of live by.

The Sukkot Celebration is a week-long Jewish holiday to mark the Israelites’ pilgrimage, led by Moses and at the will of God, to free themselves from slavery in Egypt.

As part of the holiday, traditional “sukkahs” are built outside, typically made of wood and bamboo and covered with palm leaves. It is a temporary shelter that signifies the time when Israelites lived in

New this year, explained Sachs, is the inaugural presentation of the Marc’s Mensches scholarship award, which offers $1,000 towards Jewish education.

“Mensch” is a Yiddish term for good person.

RICHMOND APPRECIATION DAY

The award is named after Sachs’ late cousin, Marc Dwares.

“If a child is spotted doing a good deed, they are given gift cards and the kid that has made the largest impact at the end of the year gets the scholarship,” explained Sachs.

“The inaugural recipient is Taya Benson, who raised $7,000 for the BC SPCA.” Sachs said around 200 to 250 people are expected at the Sukkot Celebration, which is astounding, considering The Bayit was close to shutting down a few years ago, with only five families in the flock.

“We’ve grown immensely over the last few years to more than 50 families and we’ve doubled our working space,” said Sachs. “(The Sukkot) is up there with the big

At The Bayit, however, a modern sukkah is constructed out of tarp over a wooden structure, so that members can gather outside to eat and share stories.

This year, Sachs is calling it “Pizza in the Hut” and is ordering in “tons of pizza from a kosher café.”

“With a heightened political scene in Richmond right now, I believe we’re looking at having at least 15 (municipal) candidates coming to the event,” Sachs told the Richmond News.

“It’s the only time of the year we invite politicians to come join us and we’re happy to have them.

The Bayit holds weekly services and prayers for the orthodox community and lays claim to the only kosher Mikvah (spiritual bath) in Richmond.

Richmond has a small but vibrant Jewish community. In 2011, National Household Survey showed 2,885 Jews in the city.

In Richmond, fewer folks are speaking Hebrew in their homes, according to recent census data. In 2016, only 270 people claimed Hebrew as their mother tongue in Richmond and just 120 speak it at home. In 2006, 180 people claimed to speak Hebrew at home.

Pop-up painting sparks mural mob Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

What do PosAbilities’ members, Mounties, international students and random people have in common?

They all wanted a piece of the action at the PosAbilities’ community mural last week on Lansdowne and No. 3 roads.

Over the course of a couple of days, the aforementioned groups and individuals picked up a paintbrush and made their mark on the “Richmond through the ages” mural, painted on the north wall of the agency’s rented building.

Before the painting started last Wednesday, a small group of PosAbilities members crossed the road to the RCMP’s community police office and invited officers to join them.

Some of them had been invited to take part by members of PosAbilities – which empowers people with developmental disabilities – while several were simply walking past, grabbed a brush and joined in.

When the Richmond News dropped by on Friday, the mural — which has fishing industry, horse racing and Canada Line scenes — was abuzz with international students from Kwantlen painting next to PosAbilities members and commissioned artist Bobae Kim. “People have been just walking by and joining in, grabbing a coffee with us, talking about (the mural), telling us this is a great job,” said Markus Hubele, social net-

Two restaurant chains with branches in Richmond are celebrating kids going back to school with a fundraising campaign.

On “KidSport Day” on Sept. 28, the Triple O’s on No.5 Road will donate $1 from every combo sold to KidSport BC, an organization that helps financially underprivileged kids participate in team sports.

The donations will go towards sport registration fees for kids aged 18 and under, and all donations raised in Richmond will stay in the local community, according to Coun. Alexa Loo, ambassador for the organization.

“It is a really great program. The kids don’t even know that they are the one who’s being supported,” said Loo. As an Olympic snowboarder, Loo said she knows how important it is for children to participate in sports, but it can be expensive for some families.

COMMUNITY

Wellness Club founder hits 100 He was then invited to teach tai chi in a community centre and, in the meantime, offered free daily classes of luk tung kuen (LTK), a type of body exercise, to people on open grounds.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Weifoung Yuan, founder of the Richmond Wellness Club and a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal, celebrated his 100th birthday at the club’s 26th-anniversary event last week.

The class size kept growing and in 1992, Richmond Centre invited Yuan and his students exercise in the mall in the morning before opening time.

Yuan is well-liked in the community for his more than 30 years of volunteering, which promotes exercise and a healthy lifestyle in Richmond.

Members like to get a cup of tea or coffee at the food court in the mall after the exercise and chat before heading back home.

It was then that the Richmond Wellness Club was formally launched.

The Richmond Wellness Club Yuan created 26 years ago provides free exercise lessons to residents every morning in Richmond Centre and has more than 500 members.

To faciliate teaching, Yuan has handwritten a textbook on tai chi and LTK with accompanying illustrations and a motivational “Exercise Song.”

In 2012, Yuan received the Diamond Jubilee Medal from Queen Elizabeth for his long-time dedication to promoting a healthy lifestyle in the community, especially among seniors.

“Doing exercise is very good for your health, and you can meet with a lot of friends,” said Yuan in his birthday speech.

“When you have a lot of friends, you feel happy, and being happy makes you healther,” added Yuan, who later sang on stage.

Yuan originally moved to Richmond in 1981, after retiring as a factory manager in Hong Kong.

Weifoung Yuan, founder of the Richmond Wellness Club and a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal, turned 100 last week. Yuan has been running fitness sessions in Richmond Centre since 1992. Daisy Xiong photo Not knowing what to do at the time,

Over the past years, the club has also raised funds for community organizations, including more than $167,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Yuan started practising tai chi in a park.

Packers legends to be honoured Lifetime friends and coaches among 2018 Sports Wall of Fame induction class Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Lifelong friends who bled purple and gold for the better part of three decades will fittingly be inducted to the Richmond Sports Wall of Fame together.

Ian Anderson and Doug Staveley were classmates and teammates at Lord Byng Secondary in Vancouver. They attended UBC to earn their teaching degrees and both ended up at Steveston High to have significant roles in Packers Athletics.

Now 76 and 75 respectively, they will join elite company as Wall of Fame members on Sept.

29 — with eight other inductees at a special ceremony at city hall.

On a brilliant late summer afternoon, the South Delta residents were appropriately interviewed standing in front of the football goalposts at Dennison Park in Tsawwassen.

It was on the gridiron field where Anderson and Staveley spent much of their lives as volunteer coaches making a difference for so many.

They were coached at Lord Byng by the legendary Matt Phillips, a wall of fame inductee himself in 2016.

Staveley also volunteered as an assistant while still finishing up his degree and later landed a job at Steveston too. Phillips had a huge influence on both becoming coaches.

“Neither of us would be standing here today if it wasn’t for Matt Phillips,” quipped Anderson. “He has forgotten more about football than I would ever know.”

Phillips left Steveston in 1972 and Anderson and Staveley were apppointed co-head coaches.

That lasted for about a year before Staveley felt more comfortable giving the head reigns entirely to Anderson.

The pair helped establish the Packers as one of the top programs in the province which led to an epic cross-town rivalry with the Richmond Colts. They annually contended for the Jim Jordan Trophy.

“If you wanted to compare it to anything it was like the Apple Bowl in Washington State or the Dual of the Desert in Arizona.

Those interstate college rivalries down south,” said Staveley.

“Those games make or break their coaches. It’s obviously not like that here but they were absolutely huge.”

“We played two seasons together but in the same year,” Anderson pointed out. “In 1959, high school football switched from a spring to a fall sport. So we played spring for the last time then again a few months later in September for my Grade 12 year.”

Asked if any of the Jim Jordan battles stand out, both recalled a lopsided Packers upset victory at Richmond High in the mid-1970s.

The Colts were turned back at the goal line on an early fourth down gamble and on the ensuing play, Steveston quarterback Al Chorney hit Hal Lund for a 100-yard pass and run play. Both went on to play in the CFL.

They briefly continued their careers at UBC before finding a better fit with the Thunderbirds rugby team.

“We ran the wishbone so nobody was expecteing that. “He must have been at least 10-yards behind coverage.

Anderson graduated in 1968 and took interest in teaching in the Richmond School District where Phillips had launched the football program at Steveston and was looking for help. He initially taught social studies and business classes.

“What was interesting about the rivalry was for 51 weeks of the year they played on the same lacrosse team, same baseball team, hockey team or soccer team but for that one week they hated each other,” laughed Anderson who is also inducted in the B.C. Football

Hall of Fame.

Staveley was also a big part of the Steveston basketball program, guiding the intermediate boys team for a number of years and the senior girls for another.

He served as an assistant coach for Kent Chappell and Anne Gillrie-Carre and was part of the two biggest wins in school history — the 1984 boys and 1993 girls provincial finals — that produced championships.

RICHMOND OCKEY! SOCKEYES E H GAME NEXT HOM THURSDAY, SEPT 27 VS. ALDERGROVE MINORU ARENA 7:00 PM

NOT JUST A FRANCHISE, IT’S A FAMILY

“On paper, we shouldn’t have been within 20 points of them,” recalled Staveley of the 84-59 win over the Colts in the all-Richmond boys final. “But our guys worked their butts off, especially on defence and Gareth Davies just couldn’t miss (scoring a tournament record 45 points).

“The girls win was in our own gym which made it even more special and we had lost to New West in the Lower Mainland final

at BCIT a couple of weeks earlier.”

Both continued coaching football after retiring.

Staveley helped out the Haddow brothers at Hugh Boyd then was reunited with Anderson for stops at Lord Tweedsmuir and Earl Marriott where Phillips was still involved.

“My wife had passed away and figured what the hell am I going to do with myself,” said the always colourful Anderson. “Matt was still coaching so I called him.”

Connaught skaters thrive on home ice Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

It was an extremely rare opportunity to enter an international competition on their home ice and a pair of Connaught skaters certainly made the most of it.

Micah Lynette and Annie Lin rose to the occasion at last weekend’s ISU Junior Grand Prix at Minoru Arenas.

Lynette finished 11th overall thanks to an excellent free skate on Saturday that ranked ninth among the 21 competitors.

The 17-year-old rushed back from a bad ankle sprain in June to perform in front of many family members and friends. He is the two-time Thailand national champion with the long-term goal of representing the country at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

“It was a great character building

event for him. Big pressure and expectation to be competing on home ice, especially when returning from injury,” said his coach Keegan Murphy. “It’s a great start to the international competition season for him and I couldn’t be more proud of his determination through the long program.”

Lin showed just how much progress she has made since making her Grand Prix debut in Russia two years ago.

The Grade 10 student jumped from 79.05 point total to a personal best score of 102.33 to place 18th. She was representing Chinese Taipei after finishing fourth at their junior national championships back in July.

“Annie skated with beautiful composure and maturity in the short and long program. A special moment for her to perform in front of her friends and family,” added Murphy. It was a big personal best score for her - first time breaking 100 point total score!”

Connaught Skating Club’s Annie Lin had a personal best score on home ice at last weekend’s ISU Junior Grand Prix at Minoru Arenas.

Midget Raiders open for business

and without us even asking, say they saw the article in the paper and they want to play.

I can’t believe kids read the newspapers.

I thought only old people like myself did,” laughed Fisher.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Slowly but surely.

That’s the progress the Richmond Midget Raiders are making early in the 2018 campaign as the city’s lone option for football players 16-to-18-years of age.

The Raiders fell to 0-2 on the season in Vancouver Mainland Football League play after a loss to Chilliwack on Sunday at Minoru Park but, more importantly, the once dormant program is gaining momentum.

The Raiders Football Association brought back a Midget team for the first time in about five seasons as an option for graduated Bantam players and for talent from the now folded senior varsity program at Hugh Boyd.

Head coach Casey Fisher has seen his roster steadily grow since beginning pre-season workouts back in August.

Richmond Midget Raiders battled Chilliwack last Sunday in Vancouver Mainland Football League action at Minoru Park.

“We are getting about one new kid a week.

It’s from our regular advertising and your article (in the Richmond News). They come up,

A number of former Boyd players have found new homes at other Lower Mainland secondary schools including New West, St. Thomas More in Burnaby and Earl Marriott in South Surrey. But the Raiders also want potential players to know there is still a hometown team to play for at the community football level.

“We have seven kids here that won the Bantam provincial championship last year and didn’t want to change schools so that’s another big reason for this team,” added Casey. “Richmond has a long football history and this is a great stadium here.

“We have mostly kids who just turned 16 so this is a huge jump foer them playing in a three-year division.”

The Raiders are currently playing in the VMFL 9-Man Midget Division. Casey would love to see the numbers get to the point to enter the traditional 12-man division again.

POWELL, Frederick Gordon December 1, 1935 - September 10, 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frederick Gordon Powell, beloved husband of Arleen Powell (nee Connolly). Fred was born on December 1st, 1935 in Corner Brook, Nfld, and died in Ladner, BC on September 10, 2018.

Fred is survived by his sons Gordon (Lynne) and Brian (Sylvie), his grandchildren, Nathanael (Erin), Daniel, Amanda (Mitchell), Elizabeth (Leigh), Mathieu, Geneviève, Frederick, and granddaughter-in-law Amanda-Jane Palm (Brandon), and his greatgrandchildren, Madeleine, Gabriel and Benjamin, and his great-grandchildren of the heart, Isaac, Jacinda, Evangeline and Violet.

His two sisters Margaret and Edith predeceased him, as well as his grandson Jordan (Amanda-Jane Palm). Fred was loved by his large extended family and was often seen sitting with one of his many greatgrandchildren. He enjoyed playing Bridge, watching anything on TV involving sports (in particular, hockey), listening to Newfie music, working on a challenging crossword and spending time with family. Before his retirement, he worked as a Chemical Engineer.

Fred was a dedicated member of his church (Brighouse United) and a strong supporter of Pro-Life.

A celebration of his life will be held on Monday October 1st at 2pm, Brighouse United, 8151 Bennett Rd, Richmond, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to his grandson’s memorial scholarship (http://bit.ly/JordansFund -scroll down to “Donate”, -then “Continue as guest”) or to Pro-Life. (https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/11983).

Special thanks to the staff at Irene Thomas Hospice in Delta for their supportive care.
