Meng arrest is about 5G

Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

It’s not often a Richmond story rocks the world, but such was the case with the arrest of Wanzhou Meng, chief financial officer of the Chinese telecom giant Huawei.

15

5

Okay, it’s not exactly a Richmond story, but Meng was arrested at YVR and we broke the story at the same time as the Globe and Mail in Ottawa. We were actually on it a couple of days earlier but were having trouble getting confirmation from the federal government. I’m sure they were well aware of the impact the news would have; sure enough, the day after her arrest, the stock market tumbled and an international war of words was launched.

So what makes Meng so special? I can’t say I’d ever heard of her before, however I was vaguely aware of Huawei, the company she works for and her father founded.

According to the U.S., she violated trade sanctions by dealing with Iran and then lying about it to American financial institutions. For that, they want Canada, where she touched down between flights from China to Mexico, to extradite her to the U.S. to stand trial there.

Back in Richmond, people are weighing in with their thoughts. Many are basically chanting the old “lock her up,” while a small group, which includes laywer and mayoral candidate Hong Guo, are demanding her release.

21

Canada can’t simply release her if it wants to have an extradition treaty with the U.S., however her defenders also have a point in that this whole issue is much bigger than Meng. In fact, it’s really about 5G. Now, I’m no techie, but I do know 5G (Fifth Generation) is literally the wave of the future. It’s a wireless network that will operate at a speed up to a thousand times faster than what we have now — and has a bandwidth to match. It’s the thread that will connect an estimated 20 billion devices and make possible a futuristic world that will include self-driving cars and refrigerators that tell you when your lettuce is wilting.

What’s more, it’s imminent. By 2020, it’s expected this brave new network will be here, so the race is on and Huawei is in the running. So, was the arrest of Meng and the U.S.’s ban on Huawei technologies really just about protectionism? Probably in part, but there’s also good reason for concern.

This massive, rapid-fire data sharing will give the holder of the network incredible, like really incredible, power — political as well as economic. Huawei’s close ties with the Chinese government is decidedly unnerving. While no country has a clean slate, China’s human rights abuses are legendary. And the fact WeChat, the Chinese government-controlled version of Facebook, has shut down sites that have posted stories about Meng’s arrest doesn’t bode well. Granted, we have our own data management problems. Think Facebook and Cambridge Analytics. But that should only make us more vigilant when it comes to privacy and cyber security. The question is, who do you trust? As someone on Facebook said, it’s not just China who wants your personal information.

Point being, we need public, democratic systems that can put a check on governments and corporations around the world because, as always, the issue is not the technology, but its governance that will determine whose interests it serves.

What do you think of Canada arresting Huawei’s CFO at YVR last week?

Helen Lam

TOURIST

I have heard of Huawei. It’s a big company. It is quite controversial because it is related to the U.S. law and the sanction was only put by the U.S., not the United Nation. So I’m not sure whether she should be sentenced.

Canada cannot arrest her based on its law, or American law. So it’s not right.

I foolishly read a newspaper while in a waiting room this week and was horrified by the “terrorism” in their articles.

It overwhelmed me with fear that I could do nothing to help reduce climate change, save nature or even support my little portion of the world.

Everything horrible is inevitable because the world is controlled by greedy people.

I didn’t even want to finish making Christmas cards.

Now, I realize I am angry too, not scared.

I will keep fighting in my own little way, thank you

It is this time of the year more than any other that I contemplate John Lennon’s vision of how we could make the world a more humane and loving place to live in. “Imagine there’s no countries … nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too … imagine all the people living life in peace … imagine no possessions ….no need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man …imagine all the people sharing all the world … imagine the world living as one.”

Lennon recognized that it is our innate predispositions towards tribalism, distinction and separation that are the roots of most of the problems that we have created for ourselves, and that we could only begin to transcend our deep-seated inclination to define and distinguish ourselves from each other through our racial, ethnic, nationalistic, religious, political, ideological, class, and sociological differences when we become enlightened enough to recognize that in the end we are all part of one culture, the same tribe, the same species that shares the same challenge of preserving life on this speck of dust floating through an unfathomably immense universe.

Yes, some may call Lennon a dreamer, but it seems to me that it is far better to have such a dream than to passively keep accepting the kinds of social, political, religious, and environmental nightmares that confront us every day.

“And the world (could) live as one.” If only we really could, John, if only we could.

YOUR RICHMOND MLA’S Dear Constituents, The holiday season is here, and it’s an important time for us to reconnect with our constituents after a busy fall Legislative session in Victoria.

The NDP government passed a number of tax measures, including the new Employer Health Tax which is intended to replace MSP premiums. But instead of eliminating those premiums entirely at the same time the new payroll tax comes into force, they are being reduced in 2019 before being eliminated on January 1, 2020.

For business owners who pay MSP premiums for their employees, they will face a double tax burden in 2019. Many have said they will be forced to eliminate jobs, slow company growth, or raise prices for consumers.

The government also passed legislation to limit house sizes on the ALR. Our Opposition team proposed a common sense amendment that would limit a home’s foundation footprint to 350 square metres, encouraging farmers to build up, not out onto more farmland. The NDP rejected that idea.

However, after we raised the concerns of multi-generation farming families who were caught off guard by the proposed changes, the government ultimately accepted a proposed extension to the time period for farmers to adjust and submit their residential design permit applications.

Meanwhile, the people of Richmond were let down on the ridesharing front this session. The NDP has put a number of barriers in front of prospective companies, setting the system up to fail.

We’re also seeing no action on the Massey Tunnel replacement. The Transportation Minister recently confirmed what we’ve known all along, that the 10-lane bridge option is officially dead. Her delays and inaction mean 100,000 commuters a day continue to sit in gridlock.

We will continue to press for fairness for residents south of the Fraser in 2019. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Your Richmond MLAs pay tribute to the our veterans at the Richmond Remebrance Day ceremony.

Axing eye surgery wrong Dear Editor, Re: “Short sighted,” Feature, Nov. 22.

It was with dismay that I read the article in the Richmond News letting us know about the Vancouver Coastal Health decision to have all eye surgeries done at Mount St. Joseph Hospital in East Vancouver rather than at Richmond Hospital. This will result in tremendous problems for those, primarily seniors, with vision problems which require surgery.

I know from first-hand experience — a lot of us do not have anyone to take us to hospital.

A taxi within Richmond is not nearly as costly as one to and from East Vancouver. Not doable on government pensions which are diminished with ever-rising costs.

As well, we wonder how long our three much needed and appreciated opthamologists will remain in Richmond, where they, Open letter to Richmond Hospital, Since your birth as the Richmond Hospital in 1966 serving 50,000 residents, you have provided quality healthcare for the taxpayers.

Today, your facility provides care to more than 200,000 residents. I understand with the increased demand as a result of such a population bump, decisions have to be made regarding resources. Eye surgeries will soon be e transferred to St. Joseph’s in Vancouver.

Although, a well-run health care provider, its facilities are also taxed to the limit. With 500 people waiting for eye surgery in Richmond,

all of a sudden and with little notice, have no access to the hospital. As a senior who, for many years, has paid taxes in Richmond, taxes which helped build and maintain hospitals, I feel very strongly that VCH should not make this devastating change. If there is a problem having enough surgery time here, then a good and fair solution would be to shift the “anchor baby” 500 births per year elsewhere, leaving an essential service in Richmond for those who’ve paid for it.

My question for VCH is simple: what is the fair, ethical thing to do, help those who have not contributed to our community give birth, get citizenship, then take off, or continue to provide a service to people who have supported the community through taxes, etc. in an effort to prevent them from going blind?

H. Richards RICHMOND

were the stakeholders blindsided by this decision or was there consultation? I would suspect that seniors, many with limitations, will have trouble getting to said facility.

Vancouver Coastal Health said this decision was made to create a better experience for patients and to free up operating room time in Richmond for more appropriate surgeries.

Are sight-saving cataract surgeries not considered appropriate, and is a 14-kilometre drive to St. Joseph’s a better experience?

MORE HUAWEI stories at Richmond-News.com

Huawei boss bailed, Meng arrest ‘too MLA Wat tight-lipped dirty’ say protesters Clark, courted Huawei during those trips.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

An executive of Chinese telecom giant Huawei, who was arrested at YVR last week amid an extradition bid by the U.S., has been released on $10 million bail.

Wanzhou Meng, 46, was granted bail after a three-day hearing at the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

Meng, Huawei’s chief financial officer, must live at a house in Vancouver’s westside, owned by her husband, and stay in that house between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. She must remain in B.C. and steer clear of YVR. She faces extradition to the U.S. in connection with fraud charges related to U.S. sanctions on Iran.

Richmond North Centre MLA Teresa Wat is no stranger to Huawei, having made many trade trips to Asia as part of her role as Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for the Asia Pacific Strategy, when her BC Liberal Party was in power.

Wat, along with then premier Christy

In 2015, Wat was with Clark at Huawei’s headquarters in Shenzhen, China, when the telecom giant announced a deal with Telus to establish a “5G Living Lab” in Vancouver.

Wat also received, during a trip to meet with Huawei, a $500 Huawei cellphone.

Prior to Meng’s arrest, the U.S. has pressured European countries and other allies to limit use of Huawei’s technology, warning of potential surveillance and information theft.

Canada is one of the few remaining Western nations that has welcomed the company to do business here, including in B.C. Given her close ties with Huawei, the Richmond News asked Wat for her thoughts on why Canada seems to be the exception to the rule when it comes to Huawei.

However, a BC Liberal Party caucus spokesperson spoke in her stead, saying that Wat is “refraining from comment,” due to “international sensitivity” on the subject.

He added that Wat wouldn’t comment as “...Canada isn’t directly involved.”

The News was one of the first in the world to break the news of Meng’s arrest at YVR.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

A group of Richmond residents, including lawyer and former mayoral candidate Hong Guo, has voiced support for Huawei CFO Wanzhou Meng, and asked the Canadian government to “release her immediately.”

Meng, CFO of the Chinese tech giant and daughter of its founder, Zhengfei Ren, was arrested at YVR airport on Dec. 1. Meng faces fraud accusations linked to Iran sanctions and is being sought for extradition by the United States.

A press conference called “Demanding fairness protecting human rights” was held last Saturday in Richmond by a Richmondbased group called the Chinese Women and Children’s Association of Canada, which was launched in 2015.

The group’s president Dongmei Han said at the conference that the arrest “violates a citizen’s rights” because “Meng is a Chinese citizen under Chinese jurisdiction, and U.S. law should not override the laws of other countries.”

Han called the arrest “too dirty” and “inhumane” during an interview with the Richmond News on Monday.

“It’s so obvious that the U.S. arrested Meng because it wants to attack Huawei. But whether Huawei breaks the Iran sanctions... is the company’s decision, not Meng’s.

“Why didn’t they arrest the owner of the company or punish the company, but the founder’s daughter and an employee? It doesn’t seem logical to me.”

Han said it is wrong to let a “vulnerable woman...suffer the consequences of conflicts between countries.”

“Canada should stay out of it and release Meng now. We don’t get any benefit from it. It is not worth it affecting the Canadian economy and the relationship with another country because of one person,” said Han. Guo, the association’s legal adviser, said at the press conference that people are worried about the relationship between Canada and China and their peoples.

“The Chinese people would like to keep a good relationship and expand business with Canada, but this matter will damage that,” said Guo.

Richmond business people in the Chinese-Canadian community worry that potential rising tensions between China and Canada could pose a risk to their businesses following the arrest of Huawei CFO. Amy Huang, president of Richmond-based North American Investment Association (NAIA), said many businesses under her association rely on exporting agricultural products to China, and she is concerned Chinese companies will withdraw their orders if the tension keeps rising.

RICHMOND NEWS

Multiple stories about the arrest of Huawei CFO posted by local Chineselanguage media on WeChat were deleted by the company for “content violation.”

On Dec. 5, when the story was broken by the Richmond News and other English media outlets, local Chinese publications, such as Vanfun and Richmondbased West Canada Weekly, published the story using their respective WeChat accounts soon after.

“But as a business woman, I’m worried this case will affect the relationship between Canada and China, and affect our export businesses in the future. I’m not positive.”

Huang led The Canada Pavilion to the first Belt & Road International Food Expo last summer in Hong Kong and brought home $1.7 billion worth of memorandum of understandings.

“Most of our deals were made with Chinese local governments and Chinese state-owned companies,” said Huang.

“I’m worried that if the situ-

ation gets worse, they might cancel their orders or have Chinese consumers boycott Canadian products – then our business will suffer the consequences,” she said.

Johnny Fong, Richmond chairman of wholesale giant Brands Inc. which imports millions of products from China to Canada monthly, told the Richmond News he is also concerned about the “unclear situation.

“We hope the relationship between Canada and China can remain stable. It’s good for business and industries such as tourism,” said Fong.

“We all hope to go through this safely and smoothly.”

Almost at the same time, West Canada Weekly’s article on the arrest was also shut down.

The articles were replaced by a general notice issued by the centre saying “the content cannot be seen for violating rules.” It does not specify which rules the articles violated but for more information readers are directed to the website of Cyberspace Administration of China, which is owned by the Chinese government.

During Meng’s bail hearing last Friday and Monday, a number of articles published by local Chinesespeaking media were also shut down for ”content violation.” One story posted by the account “Vancouver Headline” had gained more than 100,000 views before it was shut down.

“My guess is that the first two days of the hearing revealed a lot of personal information about Meng and her husband, and (the Chinese government) didn’t want the information to be circulated,” said a local Chinese media professional who asks to remain anonymous.

Construction scheduled for modular housing Rendering of the proposed modular housing project for homeless.

Photo submitted

Alyse Kotyk & Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s controversial temporary modular housing project for homeless people is moving ahead this month with site preparation expected to begin before the end of the year.

The 7300 Concern Group, a group consisting of hundreds of neighbours who have been protesting the project, said they respect council’s decision but hope that the city will ensure the safety of the neighbourhood “as promised.”

City council approved the development of the temporary modular housing units in May, after 10 hours of dialogue, which spanned two contentious meetings of approximately 80 delegations, all sharing their thoughts. The proposed project will include 40 units with shared amenities for its residents.

The site’s preparation and the relocation of an off-leash dog park is expected to take place this December. In February of next year, construction will begin, with landscaping to be completed in March. The site and an adjacent long-term off-leash dog park is expected to be completed by March or April.

During the planning phase of the project, the address of the project was identified as

7300 Elmbridge Way. However, because of the orientation of the building, the address will now be 6999 Alderbridge Way. The city says there is no change to the site location.

David Shao, a spokesperson for the 7300 Concern Group, said the decision to construct the temporary modular housing is a “democratic decision passed by council” and group members – most of whom are residents in the area – “understand and respect the result.

“We are still concerned about safety risks in the neighbourhood. For example, we don’t want to see people taking drugs in the area or to find needles on the ground,” Shao told the Richmond News.

“We residents will continue to pay attention to, and monitor, safety in this community. We also hope council and city staff will keep their promise to ensure safety in this neighbourhood.

“If there is no negative impact to the nearby community after the modular housing has been built, we will be very happy about the project because it has helped people in need.”

In 2017, the Homelessness Count estimated that at least 70 Richmond residents are homeless, which is an 84 per cent increase compared to 2014. However, according to Richmond-based service providers, the total number of homeless individuals exceeds 120.

“Typhas” by Vancouver artists Charlotte Wall and Puya Khalili, earmarked for the stairs on Hollybridge Way by the Richmond Oval, elicited praise from council for its esthetics, but several councillors voted against it at Monday’s council meeting, with concerns for its location and why it isn’t part of a larger art installation.

In the end, the piece was endorsed but its location will be reconsidered.

cess instead of changing it at the last minute.

Coun. Carol Day asked to refer the decision back to staff, citing concerns about the location, birds making nests in the piece and the cost of $320,000 that could support local artists.

“If we don’t like the process, we should change it,” he said.

“Why rush this, why not table this until we get all the answers that we need,” Day said.

Coun. Bill McNulty said if people at the council table didn’t like the art piece, they should have spoken up earlier in the pro-

When the staircase was originally built, the midway was reinforced for a future art piece to hold up to 8,000 kilograms. An art piece designed two years ago, “Flower Tree” was offered for the space by a developer, but this was rejected by council.

Coun. Harold Steves was opposed to “Typhas” being placed in front of the natural view.

“I voted against the plastic tree because it

McNulty later told the News that people get hung up on abstract or contemporary, but he said he’d like to see “local themes,” art that reflects the community and history or Richmond, like the sturgeon in front of city hall or the three cannery workers in Steveston, that reflect the “real community of Richmond.”

“I’d like to see more of that out in the community because the community has changed and the community does not know its roots and where Richmond came from – we have a story to tell, or a story to remind people of,” McNulty said.

McNulty will take this idea to the next Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Committee meeting on Dec. 19.

The $320,000 budget for “Typhas” comes from the Oval Pre- 16 cinct Public Art capital budget.

NEEDED: SHORT-TERM HOMESTAY for January and/or February 2019

NEWS

City design for public art, “Typhas” for the Oval area was before council on Monday evening.

Artist’s rendering

‘Typhas’ reflects area history CONTINUED Artists were asked to submit designs with the theme of river and sky and to take into consideration the “ecology and historic use of the site.” The concept submitted by co-artists Wall and Khalili was recommended by the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Committee.

15

The Richmond School District’s international program is looking for 3 to 4 week homestay placements for international students in January and/or February.

If interested, please contact Richmond International Education at study@sd38.bc.ca to learn more.

The “Typhas” bullrushes will be made from polished stainless steel with the insides a yellow-gold colour. The artists plan to record the sound of groundwater that runs just three feet under the surface and project this sound through speakers by the art piece.

On doing their research, Wall and Khalili learned that bullrushes were some of the most ancient and prolific plants in the area.

They were used for food and fuel as well as for warmth as their fuzzy coat retains heat like feathers do, Wall explained.

Wall likes those looking at her pieces to be part of the installation “I like to immerse people in the art so they’re affected by it, and they stop or pause at least to consider it,” she said.

Wall hopes the art installation will be ready for the summer of 2019.

Metering questioned Maria Rantanen RICHMOND NEWS

How can a Richmond resident be charged for “metered sewer” when there is no such thing as a residential sewer meter in Richmond?

The answer to this riddle is what Douglas Symons sought from city council on Monday evening.

Symons pointed to a quarterly water bill from the city that includes a line item of “metered sewer.” He asked council why there would be a charge on his bill that seemed to show his sewage was being metered. And, if his sewer usage was being metered, what was the measurement.

City staff explained that, in fact, sewer usage is not metered, however water usage is and the sewer usage is calculated to be 90 per cent of whatever the water usage is.

This explains why Symons’ “metered sewer” bill went up in the summer, even though his sewer usage

went down. Because it was a dry summer, he used more water for his garden. And because the water was going into the ground, not the sewer, his sewer usage bill should have gone down if it was being metered.

“Not a drop of that went in the sewer system and yet you’re charging me for that – that’s wrong,” he said.

Regardless, calculating the sewage cost as a percentage of water consumed is a standard way of measuring it across the region, according to city staff.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said that while the communication was extensive when the metering program started, the city should revisit how the information could be better communicated on residents’ bills.

However, he also said that to try to charge people based on usage (for example, registering how many people live in a house or whether they water their garden) could introduce “enormous complexity” into the billing system.

The nine executive members and 40 to 50 volunteers – mostly StevestonLondon alumni – that make up the Ignite The Warmth Society (ITW) are, quite literally, doubling their efforts this year.

Such was the demand for their annual winter packages of blankets and clothes, and a rush of volunteers, the ITW team are running two blanket drives this weekend at the UBC Learning Centre in the Downtown Eastside.

“We were getting a lot of positive feedback and responses before and we were turning volunteers away,” said ITW’s marketing and communications director, Stephanie Lee.

A recipient at last year’s Ignite The Warmth blanket drive hand-out day in the Downtown Eastside shows her appreciation. This year, the Richmond youth will be hosting two drives.

“We are also offering coffee and food this year, thanks to extra donations.

“There’s also a little personalized message, sometimes in the form of a Christmas card with a hand-written note inside. It means a lot to the people we are helping.”

Lee said the team starts work on the drives in the summer and includes work-

ing with six Richmond high schools and elementaries, who run their own drives for the cause.

ITW’s Richmond drop-off location —sw Richlea Starbucks, 10151 No.3 Rd. – is accepting donations up to Friday, Dec. 14.

RCMP Christmas tree lights up memories

Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang shows off the 21-foot fir tree. Alan Campbell photo

The beautiful 21-foot fir gracing the rotunda at the RCMP’s Richmond detachment on No. 5 Road is of particular significance to the hearts and minds of local Mounties.

The tree was donated by a local landscaping company which has a connection to a pair of fallen officers in Richmond, constables Tom Agar and Jimmy Ng, who died in the line of duty in 1980 and 2002 respectively.

Richmond RCMP’s media relations officer, Cpl. Dennis Hwang, said the company didn’t want any recognition and didn’t want to go deep into its connection to Agar and Ng, whose photos are on the tree.

Suffice to say, the donation has had a profound effect on Mounties at the detachment. “(The tree) kind of took some members back to that time and it certainly has more meaning now,” said Hwang.

And a worker, from the landscaping company, who made the tree stand used to work at the docks in Steveston, way back in Const. Agar’s day, added Hwang.

“He recalled how Const. Agar used to go around the docks during his night shift to check on him. He still remembers that and recalls how he appreciated that at the time.”

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.

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

As Carlie Holland removed her horse’s saddle and bridle Monday afternoon, she took extra time to scratch his forehead and let him nuzzle her shoulder as she fastened his blanket.

It was the 60-year-old Steveston resident’s first time back in the saddle after a three-year hiatus following a horse-related accident that left both her arms broken.

“I can’t stop smiling,” she said as she led her mount, Rhys, a large dark gelding, out into his paddock.

“I just realized there was something major missing in my life,” she said. “I tried all sorts of other activities … Pilates, all kinds of classes. And nothing was really quite satisfying me.”

She realized what was missing was horseback riding, the sport she’d been

Carlie Holland started horseback riding after three years off with an injury. Megan Devlin photo doing a couple of times a week since she was a young teen in New Zealand.

“There’s just something that horses give that you don’t get anywhere else,” she said.

She decided to rekindle her love with the sport after reading News reporter Alan Campbell’s weekly Horsing Around columns. “(They) really got me interested. And I thought, you

know, I really have to get back,” Holland said.

So, she booked some lessons. Holland has a bone condition, so she’s decided she’s going to take “calculated risks” like giving up jumping.

Although she was anxious at first, she couldn’t be happier with her decision.

“If there’s something you have a passion for, just go for it. And see how it goes.”

HORSING AROUND (PART 9, FINALE)

CHURCH DIRECTORY 11960 Montego Street (Corner of No. 5 Road) Richmond, B.C. V6X 1H4 (604) 783-1362

Come and visit us Worship Service: Sundays 2:00 – 4:00 pm Senior Pastor - Rodel Orila

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.

As I walked Yetter around, a small crowd had formed, including Megan, other instructors, stable staff and other riders and I could see Yolanda building the poles into a small jump.

In we came, keeping him going as best I could with both my eyes open and firmly fixated on the “daunting” jump, 20 yards or so ahead. I leaned into the two-point and aimed Yetter at the lowest part of the jump.

Yetter, of course, veered slightly to the right, at one of the “higher” ends of the jump. As I felt him pick up speed, my adrenalin was pumping.

But I trusted old Yetter to get me to the other side. To be honest, it was so smooth I had to glance back to make sure I’d even negotiated the hurdle. I had.

A few friendly cheers echoed around the arena as I reached down and gave Yetter a few appreciative pats on his neck.

We did it another two times, at least…I actually can’t remember, as I was in a bit of a daze.

I’m told it’s fairly unusual for someone with zero riding experience to be taking on a small jump so soon.

But that’s a testament to the amazing teachers in Yolanda and Jenny. And, of course, the incredibly patient and good natured horses they have at Blue Meadow, such as Yetter.

For six of the nine lessons, I’ve been fumbling away on this beautiful grey Apaloosa, poking and prodding the old boy the wrong way on numerous occasions and failing miserably

welcomes you to Sunday Worship Services

Alan Campbell, on Yetter, takes his first jump on his ninth and final lesson. Megan Devlin photo (initially) to get that big chunk of metal in his mouth.

Not once did he nibble, not once did he show signs of disgust or contempt, for which I likely deserved. He was a star.

Earlier in the lesson, I was aiming for my other goal, cantering for a full circuit (I’d only managed a length of the arena).

Whether it was the small crowd or not, I was distracted, as was Yetter, and I was finding it difficult to maintain the canter.

However, a slight shortening of the stirrup length by Yolanda was all that was needed. Boom! One length of the arena; a length and a half; a length and three quarters and….sh**.

I forgot to keep squeezing Yetter with my legs and that was that. So close.

And, for the first time in nine lessons, I actually had a bit of a wobble and my colleague Daisy nearly got what she’d been wishing for — Campbell: UR (unseated rider).

Back at the unsasddling enclosure for the final time, I realized that not once, in eight lessons, had a horse “dropped a load” for me to shovel, despite other riders having to.

As I was brushing him down Monday, I thought, “what’s that sm….?” Nice one, Yetter. Saving the best to last.

At the outset of this column, the goal was to strike one item from my bucket list and to get me competent in the saddle.

For the former, it’s job done. For the latter, I’ll let Yolanda and the readers of this column be the judge.

We did some trotting over poles first to warm up myself and Yetter, including getting into the “two-point” jumping position (hands near horse’s neck, back angled forward). All good.

The reimagining of the Raft of the Medusa

by Théodore Géricault. Photo courtesy of Adad Hannah

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be immortalized in a piece of art, perhaps exhibited at museums for generations to come?

Well, you might have your chance to find out.

Artist Adad Hannah is seeking volunteers for a new project that’s re-imagining Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron using stories about Richmond.

The 14th-century Italian author’s work is a collection of 100 stories. Rather than re-create those stories, Hannah said he’ll use the Decameron’s structure populated with 100 stories about Richmond.

The format he’ll use is tableaux vivants, or living pic-

tures. Typically, he places models in life-sized scenes to re-create a historic moment or piece of art. Everyone takes their places frozen in their period attire and Hannah records video.

“As a viewer you’re caught watching… waiting for something to happen, waiting for something to move … You’re mixed between anticipation and frustration, trying to understand the im-

age,” he told the Richmond News.

Hannah is looking for people to share stories, to model, and to help behind the camera setting up scenes.

Work begins in January at the Richmond Art Gallery, and the exhibit opens Feb. 9.

Test kitchen tempts grocers to stock sustainable seafood

Back at the kitchen, Danesh plates the tiger shrimp, now a pleasant pink, and points to a screen showing photos of his recent trip to remote Vietnam mangroves, where the crustaceans were harvested from an organic farm.

back in Asia. That’s how Frobisher was born (and named after the Richmond street Fu lived on).

Fast forward to 2018, and Frobisher is importing seafood from all over the world and selling it throughout Western Canada under several brand names.

“When I went to school, seafood and sustainability was last thing on the agenda. It wasn’t even on the agenda,” he said.

They’re committed to offering more sustainable products recommended by organizations like Ocean Wise. People like Fu and Danesh go inside of suppliers’ operations to vet them for ethical practices.

Now, he’s glad sustainable options have made it on the menu in Richmond and beyond.

A HEARTWARMING HOLIDAY MUSICAL FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Chef Poyan Danesh expertly prepares the seafood products Frobisher imports, convincing restaurant suppliers and grocery stores to stock them. One of his dishes is lobster saffron risotto (inset). Megan Devlin photo

In a bright kitchen hidden amongst warehouses on Annacis Island, chef Poyan Danesh adds the finishing garnish to a saffron lobster risotto while keeping an eye on the black tiger shrimp frying on the stove.

The kitchen on an industrial island in the Fraser River isn’t the first place you’d expect to find sumptuous cuisine prepared by the former member of Canada’s Culinary Olympics team.

Danesh isn’t preparing food at a restaurant. He’s the culinary director at Frobisher International Enterprise Ltd., a Richmondbased seafood importer.

When you buy seafood in Richmond, whether at a restaurant or a grocery store, there’s a fair chance Danesh once prepared the product in this kitchen, convincing restaurant owners, suppliers and grocery stores to stock their shelves with it.

“The test kitchen is customer relationships, if you will,” he said. “To have kind of an open environment of learning between chefs and restaurants, to discuss seafood

It’s used to sample the fish, crustaceans and mollusks Frobisher imports and to create new recipes the company can recommend to customers who buy their seafood.

“You get into the cooking world, I guess, to be able to experiment. And it’s always great that they have a positive experience and enjoy the food,” Danesh said.

If you want to try one of Danesh’s recipes, you can pick up many of the seafood ingredients at a Richmond T&T (Frobisher won the grocery chain’s supplier of the year award in 2015) and watch a tutorial on his YouTube channel.

In the seafood importing world where supply chains usually conjure up images of ships, forklifts and warehouses, the test kitchen is an interesting place where the artistic aspects of cooking can be showcased.

Frobisher was founded by Peter Fu, the son of a fisherman who immigrated to Richmond from China in the 1990s armed with a degree from Zhejiang Ocean University.

He started knocking on restaurant doors, trying to sell shrimp from suppliers he knew

YVR finds odd carry-on items Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

It’s simple: don’t pack your snow globe in your carry-on.

This year, YVR collected a number of strange items in passengers’ carry-on, including a snow globe (which contains liquid), a 500-millilitre bottle of maple syrup (the limit for liquids is 100), scissors, lighter fluid, a mug with a handle made of brass knuckles, replica guns and ammunition.

From Dec. 20 on, YVR expects 85,000 to 90,000 travellers to pass through its doors every day. This holiday season, the airport advises passengers to confirm travel details in advance by double checking reservations and determining baggage allowances.

The airport also advises that wrapped gifts can’t be brought through security. Either check it in your luggage, bring wrapping paper separately or, if you buy a gift at one of the shops after security, make use of the free gift wrapping options available.

While packing, YVR reminds passengers restrictions are in place for liquids, gels and aerosols in carry-on baggage. A full list of restricted items is available on the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority website.

Passengers can now bring up to 30 grams of recreational pot with them on board, but only when travelling within Canada.

“There’s also a regulation about inorganic powders, which includes cooking salts,

When heading to the airport, check flight statuses in case of delays. Parking can be pre-booked at yvr.ca, but the airport recommends using the Canada Line if possible.

spice mixes, which contain salt as well, bath salt,” said Christine Langlois, spokesperson for Canadian Air Transport Security Authority. “So if you have more than 350 millilitres, roughly the size of a soda can, you have to check it.”

That’s one tip Vancouver International Airport shared on Monday in an effort to help travellers ease their holiday stress. YVR also offered other advice to passengers, from preparing to travel, to getting to the airport, to breezing through security.

Connaught skaters on podium Wesley Chiu wins gold and David Li silver at Skate Canada Challenge Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Career best skates on the national stage resulted in podium finishes for Connaught Skating Club members Wesley Chiu and David Li at the Skate Canada Challenge in Edmonton.

Chiu, a Grade 8 student at Richmond Christian, captured gold in Novice Men’s by winning the short and free skate programs with a 134.43 total — 11 points better than his previous best. He will now take aim at national gold at next month’s Canadian Championships in Saint John, New Burnswick.

Li continued his outstanding season by earning silver in Pre-Novice Men. His score of 97.15 was a 12-point improvement from his total at B.C./Yukon Sectionals that also produced a silver medal.

“That big of an improvement for David with just two weeks in between the competitions,” said Connaught head competitive coach Keegan Murphy. “He just seemed to be skating with more focus and more concentration. I think finishing second at provincials was a real confidence boost for him and he just kept going with that.

“It was his consistency that changed. Instead of hitting two out of five jumps, it was five out of five. It’s the same level of skill but now he is doing it all the time.”

Murphy and the Connaught staff knew exactly what Li was capable of but delivering it in practice and on a high performance stage in front of judges are entirely difference scenarios.

“You know their skills but you don’t know how the math is going to pan out until he does it and this was the first time he did it. We upped the difficulty a little but from provincials but not hugely,” contin-

ued Murphy.

“What stands out for David is his quality. When you up (your performance) a little and you are up against guys who are a little sloppier, it really can stand out.”

Li broke into tears when learning he had secured the silver medal.

It has been quite the journey over the last 11 months with so much work put into his skating.

“I was motivated after finishing second at (provincials) and I just wanted to improve on that,” smiled the Grade 6 student at Whiteside Elementary. I just tried to stay calm but sure I was a bit nervous too.”

Li will be moving up to Novice next year and the work begins again in January.

Chiu’s victory reflected his steady progress since his bronze medal at the 2018 Skate Challenge a year earlier. He has since represented his country at an international competition and also won B.C./Yukon Sectionals last month in Coquitlam.

“His nerves and expectations just keep getting better. There are guys who can do everything he can do but he is getting cleaner and cleaner with his skates and it’s really nice to see,” said Murphy, who pointed out how Chiu landed five of his six scheduled jumps in his free program.

It was also a different path to the podium compared to a year ago when he had a huge free skate to make a big move in the final standings. This time, he led after the short program and was the final skater for the free skate the following day.

“The night before I was thinking there would be lot of pressure if I don’t do well in the short to climb back up,” said Chiu. “So I would just have the same amount of pressure to do well even if I wasn’t in

Chiu has about four weeks to prepare for the Canadian Championships.

“The approach to nationals is just taking his skill set and competing with it. The expectation is with himself and doing what he can do. You really have to take the result out of it since it’s not in your control,” added Murphy.

Chiu is a good bet to also be skating for Team B.C. at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer

Trojans taking aim at rare provincial berth Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Brock Aura is hoping February will be an eventful month in more ways than one.

With he and his wife expecting their second child, the Hugh Boyd senior girls basketball coach could also be involved in some significant playoff games for the first time in recent memory.

The Trojans haven’t made a serious run at a provincial “AA” tournament berth in some time but the ingredients are in place for what could be a special postseason. They opened up city play with a 75-22 win over McRoberts then hung tough with perennial powerhouse McMath — eventually falling 72-54. It was the Wildcats’ toughest game against a Richmond opponent in four years and Aura is confident his team will only get better in the weeks ahead.

“The one issue we have had is it’s been tough getting everyone together,” said Aura who teaches at the school he graduated from. “They are all good athletes. Lot of them play soccer and they also went to the Lower Mainlands in volleyball.

“But multi-sport athletes is definitely what we want at our school (with an enrollment in the 650 range). It’s just meant a late start to the season. I think you saw

the talent on the floor today. It’s more like the practice time was missing.”

Boyd features an impressive one-two scoring punch in Megan Estrada and Kara Moscovitz.

Estrada transferred from St. Pat’s in Vancouver to attend school in her hometown and had to sit out last season. She led the way against McMath with 18 points while Moscovitz added 13.

Boyd will get another test in city play next month against Steveston-London in a game that should decide second place behind McMath. However, it will be mostly tournament and exhibition play over the next couple of months that will provide preparation for the playoffs.

Likely, four berths will be up for grabs at the Lower Mainland “AA” Championships, however the zone currently features six teams in the provincial rankings — St. Thomas Aquinas (No. 2), St. Thomas More (No. 4), Britannia (No. 9) Little Flower Academy (HM) and Seycove (HM).

It’s actually a tougher road than what the Wildcats’ will encounter at the “AAA” Mainland playoffs, but the Trojans are certainly capable of an upset or two to earn a rare provincial tournament berth.

“We already are penciling (what could be) in February and March,” added Aura. “Our goal is getting to the provincials and it’s just a matter of our girls battling for it.”

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

The roster also features Greater Vancouver Canadians forward Trevor Wong who played at St. Georges last season and was selected 18th overall in the Bantam Draft by Kelowna.

Richmond forward Michael Abgrall is among 20 players named to Team BC that is headed to the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer — Feb. 16-to-March 3.

Abgrall got through an extensive selection process that began last spring at the U16 BC Cup and continued with a week long summer camp in Shawnigan Lake.

Abgrall currently plays for Burnaby Winter Club Academy’s Elite 15 team in the Canadian School Sport Hockey League where he is second in team scoring with 32 points in 19 games, including 18 goals. He came through the Seafair Minor Hockey rep program and last year helped the Islanders capture the provincial A1 and Western Canadian championships.

Abgrall was selected in the fourth round by the Edmonton Oil Kings in last May’s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

He was one of several Islanders that

Michael Abgrall were initially invited to the BC Cup. Team B.C. will be coming together for a four-day camp in Penticton Dec. 2023.

“This is an exciting time for a special group of players,” said BC Hockey Chief Executive Officer Barry Petrachenko. “The opportunity to represent their province in a multi-sport event will be a great experience and stands as a tremendous accomplishment for the players, and we want to thank the coaches

The rest of the team includes: Goalies — Keegan Maddocks (Langley), Thomas Milic (Coquitlam); Defencemen — Nolan Bentham (Victoria), Elia Carmichael (Langley), Tyson Galloway (Kamloops) Ty Gibson (Victoria), Jack O’Brien (Surrey), Graham Sward (Abbotsford); Forwards — Caedan Bankier (Surrey), Jake Chiasson (Yale), Cage Newans (Qualicum Beach), Carson Latimer (Surrey), Steel Quiring (Vernon), Matthew Seminoff (Coquitlam), Logan Stankoven (Kamloops), Seiya TanakaCampbell (Mill Bay), Kobe Verbicy (Bowser) and Finlay Williams (North Van).
