Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

For the last few weeks we have been running a regular “Giving Series” in which we profile some of the worthy not-forprofits in our community that are trying to make the season a little more jolly for those who are struggling.

Our front page features the Salvation Army and its upcoming Christmas dinner as well as its regular hot lunches, summer camps for kids and, most recently, its opening of a homeless shelter for men and women in the Ironwood area.

Last week, we featured the Rotary’s Winter Wonderland.

The money raised through Christmas tree decorating will go to supporting local charities as well as the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital, which helps prevent avoidable blindness in developing countries, and the Kiwassa Neighbourhood House in Vancouver, which provides programs for seniors.

And then there’s the Food Bank, the Christmas Fund, Stocking for Seniors — all great initiatives meant to share the love.

In today’s Pulse page, you’ll find a photo spread of the Not So Silent Night auction where a mere $65,000 was raised to ensure local kids have something under the tree this Christmas morning.

When we do these stories, I’m always inspired by the compassion and commitment of the organizers, volunteers and donors who make it work. I’m also touched by the poignant stories of those who have found themselves in need of charity.

The story of a mom and her 29-year-old special needs son, who are so grateful for the camaraderie they find at the Salvation Army lunch, for example.

But, more than anything, I feel angry.

I’m angry that we’re still here begging people to give a little to those who are getting trampled under the system, reliving a scene out of A Christmas Carol when two “portly gentlemen” come to Scrooge’s office pleading for a charitable donation, telling the old miser that “Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir.”

20

The executive director of Richmond’s Food Bank is neither portly nor a gentleman, but 175 years later she’s basically saying the same thing: the need is great and the situation is getting ever-more desperate. Ditto from the Salvation Army’s Kathy Chui.

I don’t want to be a downer at this time of cheer. I know we don’t have the kind of extreme poverty seen in Dickens’ age. I know we have longer life expectancy and far more safety nets. But, still, considering how far we’ve advanced in so many other areas, it’s astonishing we’re even having charity drives. What’s more, we’re going in the wrong direction.

The “poor and destitute” class has only grown in the past four decades.

37

21

Some argue poverty is inevitable. Human nature is such that there will always be haves and have nots. I don’t buy it any more than I buy the notion climate change is destined. If our behaviour, our systems, our economic structures are the cause of social inequality or environmental degradation, of course we can change them. They’re ours to change. Perhaps the greatest donations we can make this Christmas is a commitment to do so.

Time for city Anchor babies Our soil’s value 136 years ago to hike child are no drain care spaces Dear Editor,

Re: “MLA aims to address ‘anchor baby’ issue,” News, Nov. 29.

Dear Editor,

Earlier this month I was happy to hear the $10-a-Day prototype sites were launched. Along with other new programs like the Fee Reduction Initiative and Affordability Benefit which both started earlier this year, most families in B.C. are now paying lower fees than they otherwise would have been. Recently, we also welcomed early childhood educator wage enhancements, and are continuing to push for further increases.

I am responding to a article written by Daisy Xiong about the ‘anchor baby’ issue, especially in Richmond which has the highest birth rate from non-citizen mothers.

I hear so much about the cost to our society and our health care system. Maybe you could elaborate on this. As far as I understand, if you are a nonresident you have to pay a fee for child birth, and I believe it is not cheap.

So what if the child is now a citizen of Canada? That does not automatically make the parents citizens.

The child is born, he or she will be taken back to their home land, and, when old enough, could come back. So how is that

While these are all important steps in the move towards universal child care in B.C., families also desperately need access to more licensed child care spaces.

Currently, only 18 per cent of children in B.C. have access to a licensed child care space. Waiting lists can be years long, leaving families no choice but to use unlicensed care.

With the recent elections of the mayor, councillors and school trustees, now is the time to acknowledge they have an important role to play in ensuring our community has more quality licensed child care. I expect them to apply for new provincial grants aimed at creating more licensed child care spaces, and make public land available for custom-designed modular buildings to help create new quality child care programs in our community.

So maybe instead of just complaining about these anchor babies, could you please enlighten the readers so they can fully understand how they are a drain on our system and a cost to tax payers. Everyone I have this discussion with says the same thing but they cannot explain how they are costing us.

Richmond has spent much of the past year struggling with whether Richmond’s soil is worth preserving or should we just abandon it to sprawling residential estates. So it was interesting to come upon these words from 136 years ago about the value of Richmond’s soil:

the revenue about $2,000 per annum is expended on local improvements.

The child would not be using our health care system. If the child was, the family would pay a premium. And if the child eventually comes here to live, he or she would be bringing funds to support themselves. Is that not contributing to our system?

Once you’ve planned the Wedding, plan the Will

Last week, the Hull & Hull (law firm) website released a significant, well written article about the different law existing in Ontario with respect to marriage and Wills. In Ontario, for the most part, marriage revokes an existing Will. In B.C., marriage does not revoke an existing Will.

A recent Alberta case, called Re Goin, presented an unusual situation. A person made a Will in 1999, married in 2005 (when Alberta’s “old” law was in effect) and died in 2012 (when the new law was in effect). Which law applied? Did the marriage revoke the Will?

The Alberta Court held that the law in effect at the time of the marriage applied. Therefore, the marriage revoked the deceased’s Will, and he died intestate.

For British Columbians, marriage now does not revoke a prior Will. However, it is in my opinion risky to marry and not change your Will.

Before the celebrations begin, get some advice. Because once you marry, an old Will probably ensures that some of your assets will go somewhere you no longer intend.

Visit our website (www.WillPowerLaw.com) or call us at (604)233-7001 to discuss your Wills, Estates and Seniors’ questions.

Jewish faith thanks you all Dear Editor, I’m writing to express my thanks for the thoughtful article published by the Richmond News on the challenges synagogues face after the terrible events of Pittsburgh.

The members of my synagogue, Beth Tikvah Congregation, are also deeply grateful for the overwhelming show of support and solidarity from almost every religious institution in Richmond. We have been profoundly moved by the love and concern shown by our neighbors.

While the pain and sorrow of what happened a few short weeks ago are still with us, we take tremendous comfort from that show of concern, and from the knowledge that we all stand together against violence and hatred.

May the Master of the Universe continue to bless Beth Tikvah with such wonderful neighbors!

Rabbi Adam Rubin RICHMOND

Springsteen called it right when it comes light Dear Editor, Why is Richmond so poorly lit?

As we get deeper into the dark and rainy season, driving, biking and walking get more difficult and dangerous. I’ve lost track of the number of thoroughfares where the lane divider lines are close to invisible or non-existent. Very few have reflectors to mark the lanes. The streetlights themselves seem to have less wattage than light bulbs in our homes.

The worst area I’ve seen is on Moncton Street in Steveston. Talk about dark and dingy — it looks like

there is zero life in the Village. I’m amazed that there aren’t more pedestrian involved accidents because of the abysmal state of lighting on Richmond streets. Add rain to the equation and the situation gets exponentially worse.

Many people claim that safety is near the top of their priority needs, so it would help if the city would take action to drastically improve this situation in order to make our streets safer for all users.

Putting profits before our principles Dear Editor, Despite the latest fiasco with charges being stayed in the issue of money laundering and B.C. casinos, the investigation still shone a light something many of us have long suspected — that money laundering through real estate transactions is a common practice for organized crime organizations.

This leaves us wondering how many of the empty mega-houses in our neighbourhoods might, in fact, be instruments of such practices. It’s bad enough that off-shore investors have been allowed to influence and precipitate the continual increase in the prices of property and housing in Richmond and elsewhere, but to know that organized crime has played a role in causing those prices to escalate to the point that average Canadians and young families have been driven out of the real estate market, particularly here in Richmond, is especially galling.

And beyond the usual suspects, who else has been culpable in some way, either directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly, in aiding or enabling criminals in some way to use our neighbourhoods as resources for moneylaundering? Which realtors, developers, contractors, bankers, and politicians could be found to have some degree of culpability in allowing our community and the lives of its citizens to be so negatively affected by such criminal practices? But …. profit before principles, money before morals …. right?

Bigger hurdles for city centre Dear Editor, Re: “Council ponders upping the rental quota,” News, Nov. 29 The above article regarding the Richmond Centre redevelopment project shared different views on the need for market rental unit. However, the discussions at the public hearing seems to fail to acknowledge other difficult hurdles affiliated with the redevelopment.

The zoning was previously approved. The council’s request to increase the market rental quota from five per cent to 10 per cent is technically doubling the previous expectation. It is a right first step for the city towards solving the housing crisis in Richmond.

The truth is, by adding 2,100 new dwelling units in Richmond city centre, the redevelopment will be adding additional pressure and concerns to the Richmond downtown core that needs to be negotiated as part of the overall application.

For example, there is no concrete plan to expend the roads around the redevelopment to improve traffic. The redevelopment has no plan to introduce new sidewalks, bike lanes or a bus loop. The green space introduced for the 2,100 dwelling units is also minimal. The current redevelopment project will introduce unnecessary but foreseeable problems for our future generates.

Asking for 50 per cent market rental units will compromise the willingness of the developer to address other issues. I, personally, intended to hold the new council accountable to the promises made during the election. However, Richmond also needs our elected officials to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation and fight for the overall betterment of our community.

Wolfe wants solar New bridge? What bridge?

Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

Coun. Michael Wolfe put forward his first motion to city council last week, in the hope of seeing an increase in solar panels in Richmond.

Wolfe’s motion specifically addressed the Toyota development in the auto mall, near Richmond Nature Park.

“With an electric car future ahead of us, coming very quick, we should be electrifying the auto mall. It should be a source of energy through solar walls and solar roofs, not just a place where we get the vehicles that pollute and use up energy elsewhere,” Wolfe told the Richmond News.

“We’re not saying we should cancel this project, we’re just saying let’s see if we can get our new ideas and make this a better project for this developer...let them be a model for what we want to see going forward.”

While Wolfe was pleased about council’s response, he said the discussion highlighted the need for a city-wide framework to encourage more solar installations.

“I’m going to be working on a motion

to actually have solar policy for industrial areas because right now Richmond has none,” Wolfe said. “We have requirements and suggestions we can make to residential, but we don’t have anything for industrial and that’s what I’m hoping to bring out of this discussion.”

Coun. Carol Day supported Wolfe’s motion, adding her view on the potential for solar infrastructure.

“I do believe that the south wall (of the development) creates an opportunity for solar panels all the way along the south wall,” she said during the council meeting.

“Given that it’s such a large building, this thing could be self-sufficient if it’s designed properly.”

Some new developments in Richmond have opted to install solar panels on their roofs. For example, the new Brighouse Fire Hall has been approved for solar panels, which will lead to it actually coming off the city’s power grid.

Moving forward, after a vote of 5-4 in favour of his amendment, Wolfe said this particular item will return to the development permit panel to see if there are options to include solar or limit heights.

Wolfe also expressed concern over the proposed height of the building.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

The provincial Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Claire Trevena, advised Richmond council during a recent meeting that any future crossing improvement option would not include a 10-lane bridge, according to a staff report.

“The Ministry recognizes the significant negative impacts that the scale of such a project would have on the host communities, particularly for Richmond (e.g., proposed 3-level Steveston Highway-Highway 99 Interchange),” stated the report.

The NDP government cancelled construction on the George Massey Tunnel replacement project last September and launched an independent technical review on the situation.

The technical review was completed in June and will be released to the public by

the end of the year, according to the minister.

The review will provide potential crossing improvement options and “greater detail regarding process followed leading to the previously proposed 10-lane bridge,” said the report.

Councillors said they appreciate the view, but also feel that the process is taking up too much time.

Richmond council agreed unanimously at Last week’s council meeting to send a letter to Premiere John Horgan and the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, to press for action on the George Massey Tunnel.

The letter will request a direction, communication and consultation process with municipalities.

“The issue has been put on the back burner and I’m bringing it to the forefront,” said Coun. Bill McNulty, who put forward the motion.

“The (Massey Tunnel) situation is not getting any better.

We did it (urging the province) with the hospital and presented a petition to the premiere. We must take the same approach to the province on the Tunnel.”

McNulty said the letter would be drafted by staff and sent out “as soon as possible.”

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he hopes to have the results of the review “very shortly.

“But in case there is more delay, the letter is letting the province know, first of all, we want to be involved in the process, we want to know what the review is going to say, and we want to be consulted. Secondly, there is an additional item added to the letter to reiterate that we, as council, think the best option is to upgrade the existing tunnel and to twin the tunnel.”

At the council meeting, staff were directed to provide feedback on the province review once it’s released, and come up with their own recommendations to advance the project.

Huawei CFO held for extradition to US Alan Campbell & Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

The chief financial officer for China’s global tech giant, Huawei Technologies, has been arrested in Richmond and is facing extradition to the U.S. According to a statement obtained by the Richmond News from the Department of Justice Canada, Wanzhou Meng was arrested in Vancouver on Dec. 1.

The News understands that an arrest was made at Vancouver Airport on Saturday.

“She is sought for extradition by the United States, and a bail hearing has been set for Friday,” Justice Canada spokesperson Ian McLeod told the News via email.

As there is a publication ban in effect, which was requested by Meng, the department declined to provide any further detail of the extradition.

However, according to the Globe and Mail, she was arrested on suspicion she violated U.S. trade sanctions against Iran.

Meng is the deputy chair of Huawei’s board and is the daughter of company founder Zhengfei Ren, from his first marriage.

Technologies since 2011 and vice chair of the company since March 2018.

In a statement issued exclusively to the News from Huawei’s corporate head office, the company explained how Meng was “provisionally detained by the Canadian authorities on behalf of the United States of America, which seeks the extradition of…

Meng…to face unspecified charges in the Eastern District of New York, when she was transferring flights in Canada.

“The company has been provided very little information regarding the charges and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng.

“The company believes the Canadian and U.S. legal systems will ultimately reach a just conclusion.”

The statement went on to say how Huawei complies with all applicable laws and regulations where it operates, “including applicable export control and sanction laws and regulations of the U.N., U.S. and EU.”

Latest phone scam doesn’t fool Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Frank Sanders may be 75 years old — but he’s not stupid and is still as sharp as a tack.

So when a woman with a posh English accent called him on his landline Saturday afternoon, claiming his grandson was using his credit card to make a large purchase in Tiffany & Co jewellers in downtown Vancouver, Sanders smelled a rat.

After all, the Richmond retiree doesn’t even have a grandson.

“She said she worked for Tiffanys on Denman Street and was called Emma Watkins,” Sanders told the Richmond News.

“She said ‘we have a young man here who says he’s your grandson and is trying to use your credit card. We got suspicious and thought we should call you.’”

But “Emma” wasn’t the only one getting suspicious.

Saunders said, “The call came in from a private number, so I was already suspicious. I told her I don’t have a grandson, to which she suggested he perhaps stole the card or made a duplicate one.

“She suggested I call the credit card company and cancel it. She said she was going to hold the young man at the store and wait for the VPD (Vancouver Police Department).”

Five minutes later, a man, also with an English accent, called Sanders — again on his landline from a private number — claiming to be an “Inspector Richmond” from the VPD. “He said he was aware of the credit card incident and advised me to cancel the card,” added Sanders.

“I told him, ‘OK, I’ll get on it.’”

Five minutes later, “Emma” called again, asking Sanders if he had cancelled the card yet.

The phone then rang two more times, again from a private number, but there was nobody on the other end.

“I used my cellphone to call the credit card company, but there was no suspicious activity on my account,” said Sanders.

“And I called Tiffany & Co…there is no Emma Watkins working there. Neither is there an Insp. Richmond at the VPD.” Sanders said he has a friend in North Vancouver who has heard of something similar happening, where the scammers somehow

still remain on the line and hear you giving your details to the credit card company.

“I may not be the only one out there receiving these calls and I’d be concerned someone may fall for this,” he added.

“Don’t trust your call display. It may say ‘police,’ but in reality, it is actually a scammer. It does not matter what the caller ID says, you cannot trust it,” reads the centre’s website.

“If you get a call from someone who says they represent a company or a government agency seeking personal information, hang up and call the phone number on your account statement, in the phone book or on the company or government agency’s website to verify the authenticity of the request.

“It’s very elaborate and I could see how others may be hooked into it, especially those with a grandson.

“I haven’t heard of this one before. I’ve had calls from people claiming to be from the credit card company and the usual ones from Canada Revenue Agency, all on my landline, all of them bogus.”

Sanders said he reported the calls to Richmond RCMP.

“Never give out personal information such as account numbers, social insurance number (SIN), mother’s maiden name, passwords or other identifying information in response to unexpected calls.”

Don’t trust call display, warns Anti-Fraud Centre.

The federal government’s Anti-Fraud Centre says only five per cent of fraud victims actually report the incident.

In the context of the recent Richmond incident, the centre has advice on callers who disguise or hide their called ID.

Creep catchers Fire puts McMath gyms out of at it again commission through January Megan Devlin

currently under investigation.

Alan Campbell

RICHMOND NEWS

RICHMOND NEWS

A video posted online by Ryan Laforge of Creep Catcher appears to target a man from Richmond.

The controversial vigilante organization has adults pose as young people online to expose those who allegedly solicit sex from minors. The target is lured to a public place, where they’re confronted, filmed and shamed online.

In a live video Laforge posted last week, he can be seen confronting a man wearing a vest that says “staff” and appears to bear the City of Richmond logo.

Ted Townsend, City of Richmond spokesperson, said the city is aware of the video and has brought it to the attention of authorities. They’re also investigating internally.

Dennis Hwang, Richmond RCMP spokesperson, said he does not believe the confrontation in the video took place in Richmond.

“We don’t condone their [Laforge’s] behaviour. This particular gentleman [Laforge], he already has a bit of a past,” Hwang said.

Earlier this year, Laforge pleaded guilty to two counts of assault related to Creep Catcher stings.

On Facebook, Laforge appears to have rebranded his efforts under Safe Child Coalition.

A fire at McMath secondary last week has resulted in both gyms at the school being out of commission until at least the New Year.

Last Wednesday, Nov. 28, during the Grade 8 boys basketball team’s first game of the season versus Cambie in the large gym, the fire alarm sounded.

According to the school’s website, everyone was quickly evacuated, including fans of both teams.

The school’s fire panel indicated the sprinklers had been triggered in the small gym.

Richmond Fire-Rescue arrived at the scene and discovered a large foam mat, stored between the two gyms, was on fire.

According to the message on the website from school principal Jane McFadyen, it’s not yet known how the mat was ignited and the matter is

“Our school district staff was very responsive tonight with electrical, plumbing and HVAC personnel, as well as maintenance management, all coming to our assistance,” the statement added.

The clean-up operation began swiftly and powerful fans and air scrubbers were in operation.

This week, however, after school district staff consulted with a restoration company about the gyms, due to water and smoke damage, both gyms need new floors.

“We are likely looking into at least the middle of January, possibly the end of the month before the space is usable again,” added McFadyen in the statement.

“Fortunately, many of our PE classes are just about to start their dance unit and will now use the Rotunda. Some PE classes will continue to use classrooms for the health component of the course. Some PE classes may go outside, weather permitting.”

McMath gyms closed after a foam mat caught fire during a Grade 8 boys basketball game.

The school is now working hard to find gym space for basketball practices and games and are hoping from help from neighbouring elementary and secondary schools.

Dave’s Fish and Chips founder dies at 71 Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

One of Steveston’s longest-serving businessmen has sadly passed away.

Dave Scott, founder of the famous Dave’s Fish Chips on Moncton Street, died Nov. 20 of pancreatic cancer.

Scott, 71, opened Dave’s on Canada Day in 1978 on a wing and a prayer — something you don’t see much of from modern-day merchants, he told the Richmond News in August — while celebrating 40 years of frying up for the village.

TD Bank Group | $5,000

“There’s a different kind of merchant now.

They’re more professional, I think, than we were. A lot of us were doing things as we did it, you know, learning as we went,” said Scott at the time.

As well as last summer marking his 40th anniversary, it was also a time to pass the fryer onto his son, who took over the day-to-day operations.

Scott grew up in Victoria and came to Richmond around 1970. He married his wife soon thereafter.

Dave Scott opened the popular Steveston eatery in 1978. File Photo chips before.

Neither had he run a business. So he got help from his neighbour who was an accountant, and they crafted a business plan and took it to the bank.

Scott planned to open during the Steveston Salmon Festival.

But when the battery company he was working for closed, the hunt for new employment began. The hunt ended quickly when his mother-in-law mentioned that Steveston, remarkably, didn’t have a fish and chips shop.

“We opened around 11 (a.m.) and by that time we had a lineup down the street,” he recalled.

“The next day, instead of putting out resumes, I came down to Steveston, walked around and found this shop, or building, over on Chatham. And I went home with a lease,” said Scott in August.

The joint moved from Chatham to its presentday location on Moncton in 1984. In 1990, Scott expanded to a second location on Bayview Street, where Sockeye City restaurant now operates.

Then 31, Scott had never cooked fish and

Santa switch-up faces backlash Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

There’s a new Santa Claus coming to town and some local families say they’re “devastated” that the Richmond tradition of visiting “Santa Chris” has come to an end.

The well-known and well-loved Santa, who was a feature of Richmond Centre’s winter wonderland display and celebration for a decade, has moved on to Coquitlam Centre this year. Many Richmondites have taken to social media to express their dismay, even leading to the creation of a Facebook group honouring “the real Santa Claus.”

“I was just completely devastated,” said Beverly, who preferred to only use her first name and who only learned of the change when a different Santa arrived at the mall.

“I know that the community loves him.

He’s honestly amazing, amazing. Him and Mrs. Claus are just the picture-perfect Santa couple. They’re really sweet with the kids so it was just really saddening.

“My kids have been going to him ever since they were babies so they know his face. They’re very familiar with him,” she said.

For Beverly, the entire ambience made the experience special, including the photographers, the elves and various activities available for the kids while they waited in long lines.

However, Beverly reached out to Santa Chris and discovered he had relocated to Coquitlam Centre after not being asked back to Richmond Centre.

His schedule has been shared in multiple Richmond community Facebook pages as well as on The REAL Santa and Mrs. Claus Facebook fan page, which, as of Wednesday evening, had more than 300 followers.

“We actually cancelled our appointment with Richmond Centre and we’re going to go see him in Coquitlam instead,” Beverly said.

Lutz added that there were some “hiccups” on opening weekend and encourages visitors who may have had issues to contact Guest Services.

“Our Guest Services folks were contacted over the weekend by a few families that said they did not receive the same experience that they’d received in prior years so we’re working through that on an individualized basis,” she said. However, for one Richmondite, a visit to the new Santa with her eight-year-old son this week was still a pleasant experience.

“He was really nice, my son liked him…I don’t know why people are so upset,” said Lisa Mitchell, who had also seen Santa Chris in the past. “It wasn’t as great, usually they have the big waiting area with all the elves talking to everybody so maybe that’s what people are missing.”

The Richmond Centre Santa is at the mall seven days per week until Dec. 24. More information can be found at www.cfshops. com/richmond-centre.

“Santa’s been a very important part of our experience over a number of years at the shopping centre and each year when we review elements and potentially change things up. We did decide to make a change in the vendor and photography and our goal is that we will still be deliver-

Cadet program named the best Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s army cadet program, whose official name is 2947 39 Service Battalion Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, was recently awarded the Roy Rigby Jones Cup for the best army cadet corps in B.C. Funded in part by the federal government, the free program offers military-structured training to boys and girls aged 12 to 18.

“We are happy and proud of the achievement. (The award) means a lot because we have put a lot of work into the program,” said Capt. Jeff Ng, commanding officer of the Corps. “(Judges) factored the fact that we had a total population growth of 15 per cent this year, and the achievements our cadets made during the training.”

One of the Richmond cadets was named top cadet in B.C. and another was named the top electrical mechanical cadet.

“The intent of the program 40 to 50 years ago was to prepare young people to go into the army, but it has changed in the last 20 years,” said Ng. “There is less emphasis on promoting the military, but more on promoting life skills and effective behaviours and lifestyles that just make you a good citizen.”

Apart from learning how to march or participate in ceremonies, young people in the program also learn a series of outdoor skills, according to Ng. “Part of our program is expeditions, such as mountain bik-

ing, canoeing and horseback riding – really cool stuff,” he said, adding that this year some cadets were sent to Chile to do mountaineering.

“The training is about developing skills and building confidence, by overcoming challenges and adversity.

“The leadership they developed here can be applied to regular life and any job, such as how to lead a group, how to be a good team member and how to give public presentations,” he said.

There are 105 registered cadets at the Richmond base. They receive training once a week and occasionally on weekends.

Ng said the program “has absolutely no charge” and welcomes any residents — including foreign nationals living here — to participate.

Interested parents and students can drop by their training, which runs every Thursday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at 5500 No.4 Road to get more information about the program and how to enroll. There will be a four-week orientation period for all new cadets to see if it’s a good fit.

“It requires a significant amount of commitment.

You’ve got to be persistent,” said Ng. For more information, visit 2947ArmyCadets.ca or email to Communication @2947ArmyCadets.ca.

About 300 guests sipped cocktails, munched on appetizers and made their own s’mores over mini propane flames at the Richmond Audi dealership last Thursday for an inaugural charity event benefitting the Christmas Fund.

Some danced to music from the live band while others

posed for photos in a cobalt blue R8 Spyder. The evening culminated in a not-so-silent auction, emceed by Howard Blank. Guests bid on items such as a weekend away in Whistler with an Audi sports car to get you there.

All told, Not so Silent Night raised $65,000 for the holiday initiative operated by

Richmond Cares Richmond Gives.

The Christmas Fund provides grocery vouchers, toys, books, sports equipment and gift cards to residents who otherwise couldn’t afford a holiday celebration.

“It’s already been an incredible Christmas Fund season,

and it’s not even December yet! While there’s still a ways to go, it’s never too early to say thank you,” Christmas Fund co-chairs Wayne Duzita, Rob Howard and Michael Chiu wrote in a release.

Correction Notice

the role of the Angel.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

“Tomorrow needs you,” is the slogan of this year’s national suicide prevention campaign.

It’s also the underlying message of the classic movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, released 72 years ago.

While the idea that everyone has greater significance in the world than they may think in times of dispair may be timeless, Gateway Theatre’s production introduces a brand new element as the first musical adaption of the holiday favourite.

It’s a Wonderful Life is a story about a man who feels his life has been wasted and is considering committing suicide.

An angel shows up and gives him an opportunity to see what the world would have looked like if he hadn’t been there.

“It reminds him of all the lives he has touched and how he has changed all those lives for the better,” said Greg Armstrong-Morris, who plays

“It also reminds the audience of how important we are to each other and how important community is. It’s a very nice show to watch during Christmas time.”

The director and writer of the show, Peter Jorgensen, adapted the original story into a musical, using music from the 1920s through to the 1940s when the story was set, taking the audience back in time.

“The music is gorgeous, the script is great, and the people are fantastic.

I’ve had a fantastic time working on the show,” said Armstrong-Morris.

Compared to other shows he has been part of, Armstrong-Morris said what makes this show special is the “heart in the story and how warm and positive the story is.

“It’s such an open-hearted show. It just pours out to the audience, this love for one and another,” he said.

Armstrong admits that staging a classic story that’s familiar to many can be challenging, but said the fact this is a musical will create a very different experience for audiences who have watched the film “We’ve had the chance to find out

our own versions of those characters and make our own, while staying true to the story, and all the music we use makes a big difference,” he said.

In the circular beginning Friday, November 30, 2018, we incorrectly stated Christmas Packaging is Clearance – it is not Clearance. The B1G1 50% off Bernat Yarn offer also excludes Everyday Value program.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

PET WEEK OF THE

“I think they will come in with those memories of the movie, and then this story is going to carry them to another place.”

Armstrong-Morris added that when an audience watches a show in the theatre, they are in the same space where the story is being told, which is also very different from the experience of watching a film.

“It just lifts you right into it, you become very much a part of it and the story becomes very, very present for you. You really have no choice but to get actively involved as part of the story,” he said.

It’s a Wonderful Life is produced by Gateway Theatre with the support of Patrick Street Productions. It will run from Dec. 6 to 31.

TV show shoots at Steveston bike shop come out to see my store front,” owner Brett Martyniuk said.

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

Strolling through Steveston this week, you may have noticed Village Bikes was sporting a new name: Syl’s Cycles.

The shop’s owner is assuring customers they aren’t rebranding; they’re just being used in a TV shoot.

“It’s going to be cool at some point when [the show] does

Crews have changed the store’s awning, painted some parts of it and set up a kind of farmers’ market in the alley beside it, he said. The shop will be closed tomorrow, as the shoot is blocking most of the street.

He said the show is called Ink, which appears to be the name of Apple’s new 10-episode mystery drama based on the story of Hilde Lysiak. She’s a 12-year-old girl from Pennsylvania who, at age nine, reported on a murder for her town’s newspaper.

WAREHOUSE MOVING SALE!

EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!

Village Bikes has been renamed Syl’s Cycles, but only for a couple of days.

Brooklynn Prince is playing Lysiak, and the show is directed and executive produced by John M. Chiu, known for directing the film Crazy Rich Asians.

This isn’t the first time Martyniuk’s bike shop has appeared on TV. It’s cameoed in a Lucky Charms commercial once and in the 2008 film Lost Boys: The Tribe.

“There’s no shortage of crews wanting to film down here,” Martyniuk said, referring to Steveston Village. “I mean, it’s obviously picturesque.”

Catching a beloved holiday classic in a local theatre may be a favourite December tradition for many, but for those with visual impairments, it could be a discouraging experience.

Hoping to change this is Vancouver-based VocalEye, a nonprofit and the first live descriptive arts service for the blind in Canada. In Richmond this month, VocalEye will help the sights of Gateway Theatre’s Christmas production come to life for the visually impaired.

During two productions of It’s a Wonderful Life, a VocalEye “describer” will be on site during the performance. For no additional fee, people with visual impairments can go to the theatre — with a free ticket for a companion — pick up an FM receiver in the lobby and enjoy the show.

“We have hundreds of people coming to the theatre every year who wouldn’t have normally come and they’re coming back,” said Steph Kirkland, executive director of VocalEye, adding that the work VocalEye does has a personal significance to her.

“I have a theatre background, so this opportunity to make something that I love more accessible to people who otherwise might not find any value in it or less value or feel they’re not included is incredibly important to me.”

VocalEye has partnered with Gateway off and on since the organization launched in 2009 and works with several other Lower Mainland theatres as well.

Kirkland pointed out that a lot of preparation goes into these shows for each describer. They watch the production at least three times, take notes of important visuals and how they might describe them and then find a way to weave 23

13-year-old wins B.C. talent search Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

A 13-year-old singer-songwriter from Richmond won a province-wide talent search with a stunning performance of his original song “I Don’t Miss You.” Charlie Barstow, a Grade 8 student at McMath, took the stage at the Inlet Theatre in Port Moody for the final round of the BC Youth Talent Search on Nov. 25.

“I didn’t expect that I was gonna win. They called my name and my mind was in complete shock,” Charlie told the Richmond News.

The song, about heartbreak, is one of five or so original numbers the teen has penned over the course of his budding musical career. He wrote this one specifically for the talent contest.

His dad, Russ Barstow, captured Charlie’s heartfelt performance from the audience. “[Charlie] worked his butt off to get here,” Russ said, adding that he felt like the world’s proudest dad.

Charlie said he looks to artists he admires like Ed Sheeran, James Arthur and Bruno Mars for songwriting inspiration.

“You listen to what they do and [then you try] your own,” he said. “I just recorded [I Don’t Miss You] on my phone and the chords and stuff. It

was completely different in the start. You keep building on it and building on it until it becomes the final song.”

The father and son come from a musical family, often playing guitar around the campfire. Russ works as a custom homebuilder, but he went to Douglas College for jazz and played in the Richmond Youth Concert Band growing up. His parents (Charlie’s grandparents) were also singers—one even sang in operas.

“When we’re having to describe action in between lines of dialogue, we have to know our cue. We have to know when there’s time to do it,” Kirkland explained.

“Then we have to craft that description so that it’s concise and vivid and then it’s edited so that it fits that tiny space.”

Eileen Barrett, the describer for Gateway’s production is an actor herself and has even performed in other pro-

ising Performer/Artist award for her rendition of Adele’s When We Were Young.

Go to Richmond-News.com to see video of teen’s knockout performance.

“I love singing because it’s just freeing when you’re having a bad day or you’re stressed out,” Charlie said.

His big win came with a prize pack that includes a scholarship to a singing and dancing summer training camp in Vancouver and performance slots at two more concerts.

Charlie’s dad is excited for those, since he said it’s a challenge finding venues for him to play.

“Kids that play hockey and sports, they have all kinds of opportunities every weekend to play. Whereas Charlie, he’s got to look for them,” Russ said.

With more practice, Charlie said his goals for his music career include getting a song on the radio and playing at Rogers Arena.

Another Richmond teen, Emelia Lupynis, also performed at the talent search finals and won the Most Prom-

ductions of It’s a Wonderful Life.

“It’s such a lovely show; it’s one of my favourite holiday stories...about neighbours helping neighbours and a good person who’s not perfect,” Barrett said, who has been a describer for more than five years.

It’s a Wonderful Life runs from Dec. 6 to 31. VocalEye will be on site on Dec. 19, at 8 p.m. and Dec. 23, at 2 p.m. To reserve seats and description equipment, contact the Gateway Theatre box office at 604-270-1812.

The goal of pharmacists in Steveston Village Pharmasave is not just to relieve patients’ symptoms, but also to find out the root cause of the symptoms and cure it.

Frederick Cheng, owner and compounding pharmacist of Steveston Village Pharmasave, introduced the approach of integrated medicine to help patients achieve long-term health.

“Integrated medicine is basically an approach using traditional Western medicines and, at the same time, other methods to make them work better together for you,” he said.

When patients see a doctor, they often rely on traditional prescription medicines to get some symptomatic relief, but are not really addressing the root cause of it.

“If you have joint problem, you can just take your prescription of anti-inflammatory, such as naproxen or Celebrex. But that’s just masking the symptom; it doesn’t address why you get the pain — you have the pain because the joint is worn away,” said Cheng.

“But integrative medicine, for example, using natural herbs, such as recovery products from Vancouver Island-based brand Purica, can help replenish your joints and make them healthy again.”

He said integrated medicine is not supposed to replace traditional medicine, but to work hand in hand with it. Apart from herbs, a healthy diet, acupuncture and physical treatment are also great ways to integrate traditional medicine, according to Cheng.

“Unlike most pharmacists, we were trained in both the natural world and the medicinal world. If a patient tells us about their condition, we can suggest medicines and other approaches for them,” he said.

Steveston Village Pharmasave’s popular Ideal Protein program helped patients achieve a healthy condition by having a healthy diet.

“Integrated medicine is an extra step looking at why the symtom is here and how to get rid of the why,” said Cheng.

“When your car’s brakes make a noise, you can bring your car to a mechanic and have it fixed, or just wear an ear plug and the noise will go away, but one day that brake will break apart and the car will crash. It’s the same for your body.

“We hope 20 years later our patients can still run around and be healthy, rather than taking pain killers and sitting in bed. I want people to not just stay alive into their old age, but to actually live life,” said Cheng.

How big, old, updated, renovated, is your home and how well maintained is it? Is there anything good or bad about your property that will have a positive or negative effect on the value?

Our questions are posed to help us complete an accurate estimate of the value of your home.

So when a C&P appraiser asks questions, takes notes, and takes photographs, there is more going on than meets the eye. By doing so, we are gathering information about your home to ensure an accurate appraisal.

10 simple questions our appraiser will ask you at your home 1. Have you done any updates? Recently? Or in the past?

2. Do you know how old the roof is?

3. Have your renovations been completed with a permit?

4. Have you added an addition to your home?

5. Are you aware of any easements on the property?

6. Are you aware of any special assessments (if your home is a strata property)?

7. What is the total living area and style of the home?

8. Are you aware of an oil tank on the property?

9. Do you have a copy of a site survey certificate?

10. And finally, is there anything you need to know about the appraisal process?

Like other professional services (legal, dental, medical) the costs depend on the services, merchandise and final disposition method that the family chooses.

Each service planned is as unique as the family that makes the arrangements. The same can be said for cemetery products.

There are many variables and options that the family can chose from. Only when all options are presented, can a cost be determined.

By provincial law, all funeral providers must supply an itemized copy of their price list to the consumer.

For more information or for a free copy of the Family Registry, please contact Richmond Funeral Home at 604-273-3748.

Q: What do I really need in my new home? new home. Needs are must-have features, perhaps a third bedroom or office space, while wants are the nice-to-haves such as new appliances, or a built-in vacuum.

Be very clear about needs vs wants. If you get distracted by nice-to-haves you can miss a great home.

As you prepare to buy a home, remember that no home is perfect and you will always end up making compromises. With a good understanding of what’s most important to you, what you can live without and what will add value to the home, finding the right one will be easier.

Q: What does the average funeral cost?

A:

there something safe that I can take for Q: Ismental focus and concentration without that Something called “Phosphatidylserine” (aka. “PS”) is an important structural component of cell membranes, especially in brain cells. The membrane is crucial for holding together the necessary enzymes, proteins, ion pumps, receptors, etc., that control the nutrients and toxins that go in and out of a cell, respectively. It has been observed that people taking PS as an oral supplement experience an improvement in mental acuity (“sharpness”), concentration, and learning. Thus, it is something that can nourish the brain, as well as promote brain function.

Some prescription cognitive drugs function by enhancing the levels of the communication molecule called “acetylcholine” in the brain, and some studies show that PS can safely achieve a similar result. PS is also known to reduce levels of cortisol (the “stress hormone”) in the body, thereby elevating a person’s mood. The supplemental form of PS was initially isolated from bovine brain; now, it is mostly extracted from soy lecithin.

“PS-100™” by AOR is vegetarian, and is best taken with a Co-Enzyme Q10 (“CoQ10”) and Omega-3 supplement.

PS is quite safe to take, but do consult your pharmacist and physician team before you incorporate it into your day.

How can you avoid insurance claims during Q: the holiday season?

A:

Q: How can we protect ourselves from colds?

A:

To avoid theft claims, secure and lock your home and car from potential thieves.

If you’re heading out of town, have a trusted neighbor check your home daily for signs of theft or water claims and turn off water to avoid frozen pipes.

The best ways to prevent getting a cold during this busy season are to:

When we look at colds we are so engrained in the “medical” way of thinking that we just assume that a cold is a bad thing or a sickness. A different way to look at this is to realize that a cold, with all of its symptoms – runny nose, cough, congestion, etc, is a way that the body cleans itself, a cleansing process. It is necessary and it is a vital way that the body stays healthy. The person with the cold may not FEEL the greatest as they go through the symptoms but it is necessary.

Christmas trees are a holiday tradition. To avoid a catastrophic fire claim, should you choose a live tree, make sure it’s not dry. Cut off the bottom to allow better water absorption & water frequently. Artificial trees should be “Fire Resistant” & those sparkly lights should be safety tested. Keep trees away from heat sources.

Cooler weather means ice and snow so make sure you keep your walkways at Suzanne CAIB, CIP home clear and salted to avoid slip and fall claims.

Lima,

Branch Manager –

However, the best advice we give you, is carry adequate Home Insurance. Our Garden City Central Agencies Team is here during all Seasons to give you the best advice on how to best protect those items that matter the most to you.

From our Central Agencies family to yours, we wish you a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!

Q: As we get into the winter season, I am wondering

a smaller hearing aid Q: Isalways better?

if I should be concerned about things like my pipes freezing and what I can do to prevent this?

Marty B.

exactly. First, we need to take into account A: Not the configuration of hearing loss. For people with good hearing ability at low frequencies, smaller custom made hearing aids will significantly reduce the good hearing, resulting in the distortion of your voice and uncomfortable “plug up” sensation. Second, we have to take into account dexterity. Small size is not good for those who may have trouble with dexterity. Many seniors find it difficult to insert or take out the small hearing aids. Third, small hearing aids typically provide limited amplification and some advanced function due to the limitation of the space. Some people may get benefits from wearing small hearing aids, but some do not. In order to choose the right type and style of hearing aids, you need to discuss with your hearing care professionals.

Please keep in mind that a smaller hearing aid is not always better nor more expensive than a bigger size aid.

In winter, probably what worries people the most is that their pipes will freeze. It is common for both outdoor and indoor pipes to freeze during the winter, so you will want to be proactive to avoid this. First, ensure that your outdoor water systems are shut off and hoses are removed and put away. Ensure that your temperature in your home is at or above room temperature even when you aren’t home. This will help maintain a consistent warm temperature allowing your pipes to flow easily without freezing. This is also the time that your heating system will be doing its hardest work. You will want to make sure it is in good working order and has been regularly serviced.

Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually mid-November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers until after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa’s reindeer, all of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, are female. We should have known…… only women would be able to drag a large man, in a heavy red suit, around the world in one night, from store to store.. I mean house to house, and not get lost.

RICHMOND NEWS

Life, as 13-year-old Richmondite Sherry Tian puts it, is “like a game of chess, changing with each move.”

And the Richmond chess champion should know, given that she and her sevenyear-old sister, Eliza, stormed the podiums recently at the 2018 North American Youth Chess Championships (NAYCC) in Baja California, Mexico.

“It was the moment of our lives,” she told the Richmond News.

After nearly four years of hard work and perseverance, Sherry, a Hugh McRoberts secondary student, earned the prestigious WFM title (Woman FIDE Master; FIDE is the French acronym for World Chess Federation).

At age nine, Sherry started learning chess at a local chess club called Vancouver Chess School and could only dream of becoming a chess grandmaster one day.

She practiced chess every day for at least three hours to inch closer to that dream and can now beat strong adult players, as well as get-

And earlier this year, Sherry became the BC Women’s Chess Champion and the 2018 Canadian Junior Girls (Under 20) Champion.

Eliza, meanwhile, was competing in her own U8 girls section in Mexico, despite only taking up chess a year ago, and the tournament was her first foray onto the international arena.

“I am so proud of my daughters not only because of their accomplishments in mastering the skills and mentality to win those key tournaments, but also, the most important, the grit, courage and audacity both of them,

especially Sherry, managed to have in the face of difficulties or even failures,” said their dad, Alex.

“For most people, those qualities are hard to be understood or learnt from books or teachings and real-life lessons are often very costly.

“I am glad my kids were able to learn something from the game of chess before they face many real challenges in their life.”

Mom seeks votes for dog sled dream Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

A Richmond woman with a dream of embarking on a Scandinavian dog sled adventure is appealing to the public to help her get there.

Earlier this month, Irene Yu, who has lived in Richmond for nearly 30 years, heard of the Fjällräven Polar contest, which sends 20 adventurers from around the world on a week-long dog-sled trip in the Scandinavian arctic.

“It’s something that really intrigued me,” Yu told the Richmond News. “I really couldn’t get it out of my head.”

Anyone over the age of 18 was eligible to apply for the all-expenses-paid expedition and 10 contestants will be picked based on the number of votes they gather from social media. The other 10 will be picked by a jury.

For Yu, the adventure would be a completely new opportunity for her, as the mother of two says she never really got interested in outdoor activities until she was in her 20s.

B.C.’s natural gas supply may be limited this winter

Reduce your use Due to the rupture of the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline earlier this fall, B.C.’s natural gas supply will be restricted this winter. Although Enbridge has repaired their pipeline, it is operating at a limited capacity, meaning B.C.’s natural gas system may be challenged during times of peak demand this winter. Where possible, reduce your use by: • lowering the thermostat to 18 to 20 °C when home and awake and 17 °C when away or asleep • shortening showers by two minutes • washing laundry in cold water Every amount you save helps ensure we have the natural gas to keep all homes warm and businesses working. fortisbc.com/reduceyouruse

“I really like being outdoors, and being in nature has done a lot for me,” she said.

“It’s also something that I miss a little bit since becoming a mom three years ago. It’s a lot more work getting outdoors with the kids and the expectations have to be different going with kids.”

In her campaign to get votes, Yu said she tried to think of a way to give back to the community.

“I kind of figured that if I’m going to approach strangers and try and get them to vote for me, why would they,” she said.

“Can there be a little bit of good that comes out of this campaign?”

With that, Yu picked a charity to support that is dear to her: The Pacific Post-Partum Support Society (PPPSS), an organization that offers support, workshops and resources for new parents.

“It’s been three-and-a-half years since I became a mom and there are still things that I’m just beginning to settle into. It has taken that long,” she said.

“And that’s surprising to me because I’m usually a person who learns very quickly in all other aspects of life.”

In the spirit of this time of giving, between now and Christmas, the Richmond News is featuring the work of a local non-profit.

Serving up kindness

Christmas stockings for seniors

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

After 20 minutes of singing Christmas carols at the Salvation Army church, Jeannie Young leads her son David to the lunch room where the pair line up to receive a plate of beef stew, mashed potatoes and coleslaw.

The holiday season may be filled with warmth, bright lights and joy for many, but for some, it can also be a time of loneliness and isolation.

David takes the paper plate topped with the warm meal to one of the eight-seater circular tables, and tucks in.

This Christmas, Richmondites can spread holiday cheer to seniors who may be low-income or socially isolated. Local London Drugs stores have partnered with care homes or senior organizations through its annual Stocking Stuffers for Seniors donation drive to collect personalized gifts.

“He loves coming here,” Young said of her 29-year-old son, who has special needs.

“It’s good for the young people to come out and socialize. And also for other people to see them.”

The pair have come to the Salvation Army’s weekly hot lunch, served on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. It’s open to people who may be experiencing food insecurity.

Jeannie Young and her son, David, who has special needs, go every Thursday to the Salvation Army’s community meal at 8280 Gilbert Road. Young said her son loves going to the meals, which are open to people from all walks of life.

Megan Devlin photo

“There’s a big need in Richmond,” pastor Kathie Chiu told the Richmond News.

“Property is expensive. Rents are expensive … So they come here to stretch their budget.”

The lunch brings together seniors on fixed incomes, people relying on disability assistance (the rent portion of which, Chiu says, would barely cover one third of the money needed for a one-bedroom apartment in Richmond) and anyone else in the community who needs it.

Individuals can visit a local London Drugs – Richmond has two – and choose a tag from a tree display that has the personalized gift wish of a local senior. Gifts are delivered to seniors before Christmas.

That money goes toward helping people in the community who are in need.

“It’s advocacy and support, referrals, just helping people navigate the system,” Chiu said.

David usually comes with other adults with developmental disabilities who are in a group together with the Richmond Society for Community Living.

During the holidays, you may see volunteers with the Salvation Army ringing bells and asking for donations.

They also serve hot meals at the weekly community lunch, and put on their annual Christmas dinner, cooked by a retired professional chef, where priority is given to people below the low-income cutoff.

Chiu said she’s noticed the demand for the Salvation Army’s services have increased over the years, but donations haven’t kept pace. This year, she’s worried about hitting their $150,000 fundraising goal to keep the programs and services they have in place.

His mother tags along for lunch, adding that she enjoys seeing him spend time with his best friend Justin.

Tadashi Mizumoto also came with the group. He said his favourite part of the visit is the food, but that he also loves the singing in the church beforehand.

The Salvation Army provides clothing vouchers and grocery gift cards to families in need, and sends about 40 children from low-income families to summer camp every year.

Tadashi Mizumoto said he loves the singing in the church, as well as the food. Megan Devlin photo

“There are a lot of people who can’t make ends meet. Things are so expensive. We try to stand in the gap for those people that can’t get help other ways.”

Go to SalvationArmyRichmond.org to find services or donate.

“There is nothing better than seeing the smile on a senior’s face when you give them their gift that someone lovingly selected for them,” said one London Drugs store manager, Perry Lubberding, in a press release.

“The donated items are only part of the gift we can give them. The true gift is that few minutes we get to spend with them to brighten their day and make sure they know they weren’t forgotten during the holidays.”

To participate in the program, visit a London Drugs between now and Dec. 10. Pick a tag, and simply fulfill the wish list. Richmond has two London Drugs locations, one at 11666 Steveston Hwy with another at 5971 No.3 Rd. —Alyse Kotyk/Richmond News

IT’S ALL DRINKING WATER.

Applying a little lipstick at hospice

Running full loads of laundry uses water efficiently, and your clothes get just as clean.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

After a friend’s mother-in-law was denied her dying wish to have her hair done and nails manicured, Leigh Schumann made it her mission to help out.

That’s why, in 2012, Schumann and some friends founded The Lipstick Project (TLP), to provide free, professional hair, massage and nail services to men, women and children facing significant health challenges, as well as to their primary caregivers.

Almost entirely volunteer run and operated, the charity exists to provide dignity, respite and practical and compassionate care to people who are facing some of the hardest days of their lives.

Last year, it delivered more than 650 free, professional-grade services to people.

TLP is now moving into Richmond, with services being offered at the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House. Their program is biweekly on Thursdays from 3 to 5 p.m.

“We need more volunteers in Richmond to help us out. A hair salon has already partnered with us,” said Schumann.

The Lipstick project is asking for help in Richmond.

“We’re looking for massage therapists and nail technicians for...Richmond.”

The project started after Schumann’s friend’s mother-in-law passed away in a hospice on the North Shore. Her last wish was to get her hair and nails done. “(My friend) found it difficult to find someone at short notice who was comfortable performing their services in a hospice. So we started looking for volunteer opportunities for professionals,” explained Schumann.

Use a little less and care a little more.

VOICES

And now it’s time for the tricky ‘bit’ with his back passage — he hadn’t so much as broken wind. Yea, well, that run of good fortune ended Monday.

Alan Campbell

HORSING AROUND (PART 8)

Suffice to say, that particular hoof enjoyed the quickest cleanout in equine history.

To strike something off his bucket list, reporter Alan Campbell enlisted the help of Yolanda Blommers, of Blue Meadow Farm, to learn how to ride a horse.

If someone grabbed your head and tried to place a four-inch long metal rod in your mouth, you wouldn’t like it, right?

Yep, me neither.

So it’s no surprise that Yetter, my trusted lesson horse, wasn’t exactly champing at the bit (pun very much intended) to have an integral part of the tack placed in his gums.

It’s funny how it looks so simple when someone else is guiding you through it.

I’d gotten to Blue Meadow super early, given that I really wanted to bring Yetter in from the paddock and “dress” him with his saddle and bridle, without any outside help.

I led him back to the saddling enclosure without any hiccups. So far, so good.

Off came his winter blanket and I started cleaning the compacted muck out of his hooves.

On seven previous lessons, I’d somehow been lucky that, while cleaning Yetter’s rear hooves — with your face pretty much level

On went his numerous pads and blankets, then the saddle and his girth.

So far so good. But I totally forgot the martingale strap always goes on first.

It’s OK, though. I just need to unfasten the girth and slip the martingale through.

But wait, what end of it goes where? I’ve done this before! No matter which way I turned it, the strap didn’t look right. The clock was ticking. Sod it. Google it. And...we’re in.

Then, using letters placed around the arena, posting the trot through a serpentine (snake) route, via cones in the centre of the arena.

All of that while keeping my heels down and weight on the balls of my feet.

I think I was doing a good job keeping Yetter on the trot (no mean feat at the best of times), and then looking ahead to the turns that were needed and leading the horse subtly with your hands into the turns.

What we were looking for were smooth,

I also practiced standing up in the stirrups while grabbing onto Yetter’s mane, trying to avoid tipping forward when my heels inevitably came up.

Only a couple more lessons to go and I’ve still to reach my last two plot points in my journey, cantering for a full circuit and taking

Success In Math Is Just The Beginning

I must have tried about 30 times in 10 minutes, but I couldn’t get him to take the bit. I even had my thumb wedged in his gum, like I was shown, to get him to open his mouth.

He was trying, the good old soul that he is, it wasn’t his fault. And he kept turning his head towards me, as if to say “are you for real?” or words to that effect.

Kids don’t hate math, They hate feeling frustrated.

Enjoy the show!

I’m not entirely sure how it happened, but he finally took it and off we went.

Job done. Better late than never and another mini-milestone chalked up.

Access for all earns YVR top marks from Hansen foundation leader at the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and is hard of hearing himself, the biggest challenge at the airport is being able to hear public announcements.

Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

“There are some adaptive speakers throughout this airport. That really benefits me to hear any important announcements,” Chiaramonte explained, adding that visual paging systems on screens are also helpful.

Preparing for travel, navigating the airport, going through security and flying can all be stressful experiences. Add in mobility, vision or hearing impairments and that stress could be magnified significantly.

YVR has a host of other accessibility features including universal food and service counters for people using wheeled mobility devices, low-resistance carpeting, curbside ramps, accessible parking and washroom stalls wide enough to accommodate mobility devices.

Vancouver International Airport has taken several measures to ensure the airport can be navigated by all of its employees, passengers and partners. And, on Wednesday, YVR was recognized for its efforts with the Rick Hansen Foundation’s “accessibility certified gold” rating.

However, for Brad McCannell, who is vice president of access and inclusion at the Rick Hansen Foundation, creating a truly accessible space is more than just the individual structures in a building.

This recognition made YVR the first airport to receive the rating and marked YVR as the highest rated building in the foundation’s certification program.

“YVR has been a friend and a partner and ultimately has been part of the journey themselves in trying to identify and remove barriers on the long journey of social change.”

As the highest rated building under the Rick Hansen Foundation’s certification program, YVR has a score of 93 out of 100 points.

Jeffrey Feldman, scheduling coordinator

with the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification program, has visual and mobility impairments, and explained that the airport’s textured flooring helps him navigate easily.

“The different flooring in the airport really does stand out for someone with a visual issue,” Feldman said.

Throughout the airport, floor textures are used to indicate a different area. Tile or terrazzo indicates there’s an exit nearby, car-

Tourism brand a winner Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Tourism Richmond has won a national marketing award for its Pacific. Authentic.

Richmond, BC destination campaign that was launched earlier this year.

The organization picked up the Accor Hotels Marketing Campaign of the Year Award from The Canadian Tourism Awards, presented

by the Toronto Star.

The awards recognize people, places, organizations and events that have gone above and beyond to offer a superior tourism experience to travelers in Canada.

“The need for a new destination brand was clear.

Capitalizing on our strengths – food, history, diversity and culture – gave us a new focus. Pacific. Authentic. really captures it all,” said Nancy Small, CEO for Tourism Richmond.

The destination brand, said Tourism Richmond, came to life through stakeholder research sessions, interviews with industry and hundreds of visitor intercepts conducted in 2017.

Inspired by the “dynamic convergence of Pacific cultures and authentic Canadian coastal experiences,” Tourism Richmond developed the brand to give the city a “distinct image and visitors a compelling reason to visit.”

WeChat pay at 7-Eleven Move over cash, credit and debit cards, 7-Eleven locations in Metro Vancouver are gearing up to accept two Chinese mobile payment systems over the coming months.

Last month, WeChat Pay and Alipay announced their payment systems are now accepted at all Richmond and some Vancouver locations of the convenience retail chain, with other locations expected to follow in the next few months.

“Digital Payments are on the rise and consumers across the world are embracing them for convenience. 7-Eleven is redefining convenience for our customers across the globe, which includes providing mobile payment solutions,” said Gurmeet Singh,

The two Chinese mobile payment systems have been expanding their reach in the Lower Mainland this year, including a recent partnership between Tourism Richmond and local Richmond businesses to accept Alipay’s mobile payment platform.

The partnership boasted that Richmond merchants will soon be able to better market to Chinese tourists.

WeChat Pay and Alipay are two mobile payment systems that are prevalent in China, respectively associated with WeChat (a chatting app) and Alibaba (online retail).

Ravens serve notice in opener Impressive win for MacNeill over Richmond High on Stronger than Cancer night Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

The final chapter of the Lower Mainland “AAA” Boys Basketball Championships will unfold in February and the MacNeill Ravens plan on being there for the first time in school history.

Zone restructuring by B.C School Sports for the 2019-20 calendar year will reflect growth in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley over the last several decades. Among the new zones being created is the Richmond, Delta and Surrey districts coming together for provincial qualifying in all sports.

That means Richmond basketball teams will be battling Vancouver, New West and Burnaby schools one last time for B.C. tournament berths at the Olympic Oval before going their separate ways.

“As a school and program, we have never made it to the ‘AAA’ Lower Mainlands,” said MacNeill head coach Steward Siy. “We did it when we were ‘AA’ size but not since then and that’s something we want to do this season, especially for our seniors.”

The Ravens served noticed they will be a contender in the Richmond Senior Boys Basketball League by opening their schedule with an entertaining 87-73 win over the Richmond Colts on Monday night.

MacNeill established its momentum in the opening half, jumping out to an early 11-0 lead, then producing a terrific second quarter that resulted in a 46-31 advantage at the half. The Colts showed why they were No. 8 in the provincial pre-season rankings by battling back within two points during the late stages of the fourth quarter before the Ravens sealed their biggest win at the senior level in two seasons.

Usman Tung led the winners with 20 points while Grade 10 guard Jackson Thackwray added 18.

After a 5-5 record in league play a year ago and missing out on one of the four “AAA” berths for the city playoffs, the Ravens’ roster has been bolstered from incoming talent that captured the Richmond junior championship last season.

“It’s just the first win but our Grade 12 group really haven’t had a lot of success before,” continued Siy. “This is something new to them and they have been really committed and really dedicated. It’s great to see and it trickles down to the young kids too.”

Grade 10 standouts Jackson Thackwray (left) and Arminas Ilcukas were impressive as the MacNeill Ravens held off the Richmond Colts for an 87-73 win on Monday night. Photo by Mark Booth really good to us and we wanted to make sure we were giving back. It teaches the kids to give back as well and everyone gets behind it.”

It was a playoff type atmosphere for an early December game thanks to the Ravens’ highly successful Stronger Than Cancer opening night that attracted a big and energized crowd. The five game schedule, all against Richmond High teams, served as a fundraiser for the B.C.Cancer Foundation.

As for the Colts, the loss doesn’t dull the bigger picture of the highly competitive boys program that has been built over the last few years. Last season, the team earned a provincial berth behind the play of talented seniors Daniel Afanasiyevskyy and Murad Mohammed. Even with their departure, there is plenty of depth to keep the momentum going, including Grade 10 standout Arminas Ilcukas who led the way with 19 points against MacNeill. Key senior guard Anton Poburko added 18.

“We started this five years ago after one of our staff members lost their dad to cancer and I lost my wife to cancer as well,” explained Siy. “B.C. Cancer Foundation has been

“It’s awesome. It’s my sixth season with the program and we have kind of done a 180 the last four or five years,” said head coach Brandon Harbour. “MacNeill is a tough

team and we have to play a 40 minute game. We played about 30 minutes tonight and that’s not going to cut it against these guys. I think we are two of the top teams for sure and here were are playing them in the first game.”

It should be a competitive season in the city league with defending champion and pre-season No. 10 McMath also expected to be in the mix, along with Steveston-London.

The always-tough McNair Marlins can never be counted out while Cambie and a promising Hugh Boyd team are expected to lead the way among “AA” size schools.

“You are going to see a lot of great guard play from (the Richmond league) this year,” predicted long-time StevestonLondon head coach Mike Stoneburgh. “There’s going to be four or five out on offence all the time. Lots of run and gun like what Richmond used to be. It’s all about tempo.”

Richmond Senior Girls Basketball League regular season play is underway with all 11 city schools flooring teams for the first time in seven years and perhaps an overdue rivalry in the making.

RC Palmer, Burnett and MacNeill are back in business this season and join the chase with seven other teams that are trying to reel in the McMath Wildcats.

They are not only the fivetime defending champion but are unbeaten in 42 games against city opponents.

A potential challenge at some point might be coming from a Steveston-London team that features an aged up core that captured the Grade 9 provincial championship a year ago.

The roster includes provincial MVP Sharlene Siy and all-star team selection Mina Chong. A third all-star — Katie Chan — has taken her hockey career to the Delta Academy.

On Monday night at the “Shark Tank,” McMath served it will be a tough mountain to climb, racing out to an early 16-1 lead and never looking back in a 6044 victory.

The Wildcats showcased their youth too led by Grade 8 Marina Radocaj — a 6-foot-2 guard/forward who plays well beyond her years and scored a game-high 17 points with eight rebounds.

She is joined by Caitlin Kippan after both led the Richmond Youth Basketball to the U13 Metro League championship last spring and are considered two of the best in the province for their age group.

Grade 10s Abby Boden, Kate Carkner and Hope Chan are also playing senior after leading McMath to a third place finish at the Grade 9 provincials and being in plenty of battles with the Sharks over the past two seasons.

They all join a returning group that is led by Grade 11 First Team Richmond AllStar Liz Kennedy along with Second All-Star Jayna Wilson and Morgan Flynn, both in Grade 12.

Kennedy is in her fourth season of senior ball after also making the jump in Grade 8 to help the Wildcats reach the provincial title game in 2016.

The Grade 11s also include Caitlin Bradley-Tse and Mackenzie Morton who were standouts for the junior team last season.

It all adds up to McMath being the lone Lower Mainland team in the provincial “AAA” pre-season rankings in what will be its final year battling Vancouver, New West, Burnaby and North Shore opponents for the Crehan Cup and provincial berths. Re-alignment by B.C. School Sports will put Richmond teams in the same zone as Surrey and Delta in 2019-20.

At the buzzer…

Kennedy added 16 for the Wildcats on Monday night.

Carkner chipped in with 10.

Chong led the Sharks with 13 points. Shin Dayan added 10 and Siy eight.
