VOICES

Losing a child, finding light Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

“Sad news” in the subject line of an email tends to give me a worried brow. And when I saw it was from Brad Kilburn, the worried brow was accompanied by a distinct sense of dread.

I know Brad (and you may, too) because he used to write a cycling column for the Richmond News. He was also part of a ‘70s high school band, Thor, which has had a number of reunions over the years that we’ve done stories on.

The last I’d heard, Brad’s daughter Kelsey was married and living happily in England. However, I also knew Kelsey had suffered kidney disease. Six years ago, Brad and his wife hosted a fundraiser/donor search event at the Lecky UBC Boathouse. It was a huge success — a donor was found and enough funds were raised to fly the person over to England for the procedure.

The transplant worked and sometime after Kelsey and her husband Ian adopted a little girl. Just last August, the family was here visiting the grandparents.

In the fall, however, something went wrong and Kelsey was back in hospital. Then, on Dec. 15, Brad and his wife got the call no parent wants and every parent dreads — your child is about to die. They took the first flight over to England and 45 minutes after their arrival, Kelsey passed away. She was 33.

I think of myself as a fairly resilient person, but losing a child is the one blow I’m not sure I could get up from. When I’ve thought of all the wonderful things I wish for my kids’ futures, I usually end up settling for: “Please, God, just let me go first.”

The past year and a half, I’ve been touched by a few families who have lost a child. Each time, the news has packed a punch. I try to wrap my mind around it — and then I don’t.

Because, frankly, I don’t want to know that kind of pain.

What I marvel at is how many of these parents soldier on.

I’m sure it’s a rollercoaster and there are times of intense bitterness and resentment, moments when condolences feel like sappy sympathy poured on by people who don’t have a clue.

I think what may be most galling is that look of relief in others, who are thinking, “Thank goodness it wasn’t me.”

But instead of acting like injured dogs, snapping at anyone who tries to help, what I’ve often seen is parents taking that grief and turning it into a mission to save others from the loss they’ve experienced. They speak on suicide prevention, write about drug awareness, or, in the case of the Kilburns, advocate for donor transplant awareness.

On Jan. 26, the Kilburns will honour their daughter with a Celebration of Life at the same place they hosted the donor search/fundraiser. The celebration will remember Kelsey, thank the many individuals and organizations who have supported her and urge folks to sign those donor cards.

“We were told by her doctor that it was because of the health of her newly-transplanted kidney that Kelsey survived as long as she did,” Brad wrote.

That determination to focus on what they had, not what they’ve lost, is also reflected in their one request regarding the celebration: don’t wear black. Their girl was a bright light and that’s how they want her remembered.

Who is Intent important in paying cultural references for trip?

Dear Editor,

Re: “‘Artifact’ seen as not appropriate,” Jan. 3

Dear Editor, Re: “Wat delivers speech on China Central TV.” Jan. 3 I want to ask the Richmond MLA Teresa Wat whether you are using your own money to travel to be featured on China Central TV? And are you taking your vacation leave to do this?

If you are using public resources to do this show, I disagree.

To apologize for a past mistake is civilized, I have no objection. But to travel to a totalitarianism regime to make a public kowtow is disgusting.

Richmond MLAs should do their job of improving the well-being of all Richmond people. They shouldn’t be pumping up a particular group of people.

After all, communist China doesn’t represent all Chinese in the world.

Regarding artifact, I’m not understanding why mere mention of an ethnicity is now always bad. To me, intention is key.

For the record, Columbus never thought he landed in “India” because there was only Hindustan, whose residents were known as Hindus.

So, “Indian” was never a misnomer. More likely it was Columbus’ pidgin Spanish, saying he found a people “in God” (a people living naturally, rather than in cities).

Racism actually means the belief your “race” is superior. (A better term would be ethnic chauvinism).

Racial means referring to race/ethnicity. Racial is not racism. This is where intent, attitude and follow-up actions set the true definition as a negative.

A great number of our most famous hymns are based on old bawdy house tunes.

You’re not encouraging prostitution by singing, Michael Row The Boat Ashore;” if the school was using the original cadence song’s lyrics and that made the little girl feel singled out, I would understand the complaint better.

Can I complain about songs that use “white” like “White Wedding” and “White Christmas”?

They’re no more talking about me than that children’s counting song was about anyone in that classroom (especially as it was only the tune the mother complained of; for all we know, it’s originally a traditional Ojibwe song/tune, used to teach counting to First Nations’ children).

Hospital delivers great care — again Dear Editor, A special thank you to the stellar team of doctors and nurses at the Richmond Hospital’s Birthing Centre.

Dr. Brenda Wagner delivered our second child, Timothy Isaac Chan, into our awaiting arms during this past season of Advent with professional first-class care.

We were very thankful that Richmond Hospital was also able to provide us with an efficient and friendly outpatient blood work lab, a specialized family-friendly short stay pediatric unit and a diligent food/cleaning services staff.

We even received a Christmas card on Christmas morning from the volunteers of Richmond Hospital Healthcare Auxiliary. Thank you!

Probe #2 for lawyer Guo Defence not big on Mr. Big scheme to his court claim dated May 22, 2015.

GLACIER MEDIA

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

Several weeks after moving from Newfoundland to B.C., Wade Skiffington dropped off his girlfriend Wanda Martin and their infant son Ian at a friend’s apartment in Richmond before going to work on Sept. 6, 1994.

As noted in his 2004 murder conviction appeal, Skiffington worked as a carpet cleaner driving a van from customer to customer. That afternoon, the friend left the apartment for about 45 minutes. When she returned, Martin had been shot dead and the 18-month-old was alone in the home.

There was no forensic evidence linking Skiffington to the crime, and the gun was never found. Based on Skiffington’s customer list that day, he could have had an open window of time between clients to shoot Martin and return to work. But that wasn’t enough to press charges.

Thus began an elaborate “Mr. Big” police operation that eventually elicited a confession from Skiffington in 2000.

Super Grocer & Pharmacy

The controversial tactic used by RCMP sees undercover officers pose as gang members to befriend a suspect and gain their trust by offering them relatively easy jobs for large sums of cash. Then officers further welcome the suspect into the gang by offering to arrange a meeting with the gang’s boss, Mr. Big. Suspects are told to come clean about a past crime so that the gang can destroy any incriminating evidence.

During his confession, Skiffington detailed to RCMP officers where he bought the gun and how he got rid of the blood-soaked evidence. The whole thing was secretly recorded, although Skiffington now maintains it was a false confession. He was convicted of second-degree murder in 2001 and appealed it in 2004 but failed.

Now, his case has been granted a special review by the federal justice minister, the first such review in B.C. Skiffington and his lawyers are back in court this week arguing that he should be released on bail while the review takes place.

The Crown is arguing there’s no reason to believe Skiffington was wrongly convicted.

Former Richmond mayoral candidate and real estate lawyer Hong Guo is facing a second probe by the Law Society of British Columbia into alleged professional misconduct.

Guo is now facing two hearings for two separate citations issued in 2018 by the society, which is now claiming Guo acted in a conflict of interest while representing several clients in connection to the purchase of two forestry-related companies.

As part of Guo’s rising slough of legal trouble, she also stands accused of providing false and misleading information to the society.

“The law society believes it has sufficient evidence of misconduct to proceed with a hearing. Details of that misconduct will be explored at the hearing,” said society spokesperson David Jordan.

The most recent citation is connected to allegations laid out in a civil claim by Jun Yuan against Guo, Guo Law Corp., and M & K Sawmills Ltd. In September 2012, Yuan, a Chinese businessman and recent immigrant, had approached Guo’s office to invest about $100,000 in a small company, according

Yuan claimed Guo sought to co-purchase M & K Sawmills Ltd., including equipment and land, for $900,000, with $200,000 cash and $700,000 in financing.

Yuan said Guo drove him to the mill, then located in Quesnel, and translated meetings with the sellers, Nirmal Lidder and Harmanjeet Lidder.

In November 2012, the sale occurred, but Guo later misrepresented financial documents, such as a shareholder agreement, or simply did not provide them to him, Yuan claimed.

At the centre of Yuan’s claim was how Guo allegedly kept him in the dark as to where his money was.

For some time Yuan, as a shareholder, claimed he did not know basic details of M & K and hence Guo failed in her fiduciary duties.

Guo, who has a law degree from University of Windsor, ran for mayor of Richmond last year, claiming the city needed to reduce crime rates and improve traffic while also promoting more cultural ties and trade with China. She received five per cent of the vote.

Recently she spoke out against the Canadian government’s detention of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou.

Is it the medication making you fall?

The online newspaper The Washington Herald recently reported the results of an important study on falls. It appears that the leading cause of death among older adults in the U.S. is falls. Each year between 2007 and 2016, the number of deaths from falls rose. More than 29,000 people died from falls in the U.S. in 2016, and I expect the statistics are similar here in Canada.

Certainly the rise in the death rate may be linked to the increasing numbers of older people in both the U.S. and Canada. However, research shows also that the Benzodiazepine drugs (such as Xanax, Valium and Klonopin), taken by millions of people in North American to cope with anxiety disorders and as muscle relaxants, may be a cause of falls. The research suggests that these drugs can dampen reflexes that otherwise would help people remain upright. The reflexes become weaker with age, but the drugs may accelerate the decline.

Doctors appear to recommend staying on these medications for as short a time as possible. If you are taking this type of medication, a consult with your doctor would be in order, especially if you live alone where a fall would potentially have a greater impact.

Broader options Unsafe bins banned for rental fines Maria Rantanen

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

The City of Richmond is considering introducing a second penalty option, which carries a smaller fine but speeds up the dispute process for illegal short-term rentals.

Currently, the city issues a $1,000 fine per offence to illegal short-term rentals under the Municipal Ticket Information (MTI), and any disputes are handled in provincial court.

“This process can take a long time to complete,” Ted Townsend, spokesperson for the city, told the Richmond News.

While keeping MTIs, at a general purposes committee meeting last month,

city staff proposed an alternative option of issuing Bylaw Violation Notices (BNV), which only carry a maximum $500 fine per offence.

And with BVNs, all disputes are adjudicated through a dispute resolution process that goes through the city rather than provincial court, so it does not require court time and legal fees. “(It) allows for faster resolution of some cases if we choose, however due to provincial legislation that option has a lower maximum fine,” Townsend said.

“If council approves this proposal, we will have the option of issuing either BVNs or MTIs, which we hope will be a more efficient means of getting offenders to comply with the

bylaw.”

The proposal was supported by the committee, which Mayor Malcolm Brodie and all councillors attended. It still requires council approval before coming into effect.

According to the report, last year, the city issued 75 tickets to illegal shortterm rentals and collected $36,000 in fines; in 2017, it issued 87 tickets, collecting $41,800.

Townsend said the city has 15 ticket disputes scheduled to go to provincial court in February and March alone.

Richmond currently has 610 monthly short-term rentals listed. Since 2017, the city has identified 541 illegal rentals and 524 of them have ceased operations, according to the city.

Unsafe donation bins are being removed from Richmond following the death of a man who got stuck in a bin in West Vancouver and a similar death in Toronto on Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning, the city released a statement saying it was asking five organizations, whose bins have the same type of opening as the Inclusion BC bin where the man in West Vancouver got stuck, to remove them within 24 hours.

If it’s not logistically possible to remove them, they must be locked until they can be removed, according to city spokesperson Ted Townsend.

“We’re also advising the organizations that this donation slot configuration

Donation bins with moving parts (left) are banned on public property. Maria Rantanen photo will not be allowed in the future, and any future permit applications will require a configuration that addresses this safety concern,” he told the News in an email.

Inclusion BC pulled its four donation bins from Richmond last week after an emergency meeting.

They will be stored until safety modifications are made to ensure public safety, according to an Inclusion BC press release.

“We will continue to work with our bin manufacturer, municipal authorities, design experts and community partners to formalize and promote the adoption of industry-wide safety standards to keep our communities safe,” stated the press release.

In Richmond, only registered charities are allowed to have donations bins on public property and a permit is required.

Alleged money-launderers’ Lawyer for MP’s firm millions could be forfeited cited by Law Society Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

A $2.3 million Richmond home, more than $2 million in cash and thousands of dollars of River Rock Casino chips are up for grabs as part of the B.C. Crown civil forfeiture lawsuit.

The attempt by Crown prosecutors to claim the assets surfaced last week in documents filed at B.C. Supreme Court which allege the assets were owned by an illegal Richmond money business involved in laundering around $220 million a year.

The man and woman behind the businesses in question — Silver International at 5811 Cooney Rd. and Style Travel at 8271 Westminster Hwy. — had criminal charges for money laundering stayed without explanation by federal prosecutors last November.

The forfeiture claim also alleges that the business – owned and operated by Caixuan Qin and her spouse Jian Jun Zhu — laundered for customers that included drug traffickers importing cocaine from Mexico.

Although criminal charges were recently stayed, the bar for proving a civil claim is lower than criminal, referred to as a “balance of probabilities” as opposed to “beyond reasonable doubt.”

In the documents filed, it’s alleged that Qin and Zhu laundered more than $80 million during a four-month period in 2015.

Annually, according to the file, $221 million in money was taken in and $217 million went out.

The allegations, however, have not been proven in court and the defendants and Silver International have yet to file a response.

A lawyer for the couple indicated to the Vancouver Sun that a response would be forthcoming, having previously argued for the seized assets to be returned to his clients.

The civil forfeiture suit comes a couple of months after the apparent collapse of the criminal case, prompting B.C.’s Attorney General David Eby to call for a review of what went wrong.

Also contained in the documents are details of how “The customers (of Silver International) included individuals linked to drug production, trafficking, money laundering, homicide, assault, possession of property obtained by crime and counterfeiting instruments and extortion.”

Other seized items referenced in the lawsuit were 9.6 grams of cocaine found at the Richmond home and a digital scale. Also seized at the home were a suitcase containing a card embosser, a credit card reader, counterfeit identification in the names of various individuals, and eight boxes of rifle cartridges.

GLACIER MEDIA

Lawyer Yvonne Hsu, a former member of Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido’s law firm, has been cited by the Law Society of British Columbia for alleged incompetence and engaging “in activities that [she] ought to have known assisted in or encouraged dishonesty or fraud.”

The citation is in relation to a fraud case whereby investor Paul Oei managed to siphon money out of Peschisolido and Co. trust accounts for his personal use.

Oei, who in 2017 was found by the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) to have committed a $5-million fraud against prospective Chinese immigrant investors, has alleged he was provided bad legal and financial advice from the firm for the way in which the investment was structured (although this did not excuse him from committing the fraud by misappropriating the funds).

Exactly how Oei structured shares in Cascade Renewables is difficult to explain, noted the BCSC panel’s

decision against Oei, considering the investment documents, purportedly prepared by Hsu and given to investors, are “nearly indecipherable from a legal perspective.”

The society is claiming several matters against Hsu, who did not respond to Glacier Media’s request for comment.

Among the claims is the allegation Hsu failed to “acquire and apply relevant knowledge or skills of securities law and regulatory requirements.”

This includes her apparent failure to obtain information regarding exemptions to regulatory requirements.

For instance, Oei, who was not registered to issue securities, claimed many investors were accredited and hence could have been exempt from reporting requirements.

Allegations against Hsu are unproven by the society, a semi-judicial body. She will face a hearing in the near future.

Meanwhile, Peschisolido has wrapped up Peschisolido and Co. and ceased to be a member of the Law Society of B.C.

Home values decline 31-year-old hit by SUV Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

Ivy Manor, with five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, was the highest valued home in Richmond as of July 1, 2018.

BC Assessment has slipped annual property value assessments in the mail and released its lists of the most highly valued homes in the province.

No Richmond houses made the list of top-500 homes in B.C. (many of those were in Vancouver or Surrey), but there are still some luxurious Richmond properties that are among the top 100 highest-valued in the Fraser Valley region (which BC Assessment includes Richmond in).

The highest valued home in Richmond is 12911 No. 3 Rd., a five-bedroom, nine-bathroom house behind a wrought iron gate on a 18-acre lot.

The Gilmore-area home is valued at $9.98 million, down from $12.4 million last year.

In second place is 13511 No. 4 Rd. It’s a home on a 27-acre property pegged at $9 million, down from $10.2 million last year.

Coming in third is a six-acre plot of land with no apparent home on it, with a value of $6.9 million.

All three properties are in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Being in the ALR tends to depress assessed value since compared to a non-ALR property there is no potential for development, said Brian Smith, deputy Fraser Valley assessor.

Like these lavish properties, most single-family homes in Richmond saw their assessed values dip. The average fell from $1.57 million in 2017 to $1.53 million in 2018, a decrease of two per cent.

Average assessed condo values, on the other hand, increased by nine per cent. The average value of a Richmond condo is now $654,000.

The assessed values released on Jan. 2 reflect the property’s assessed value as of July 1, 2018.

“Single family homes are carrying a higher price tag, and there are not as many people that can pay those prices right now. People are turning to different housing options and looking at the townhouse and condo market,” Smith said.

That’s evidenced by the amount of new construction in the city to add more condos, he added.

Richmond already had the most expensive condos in the region in 2017, and the further increase in assessed values this year has cemented that.

Steveston teddies find homes abroad Teddy Bear was an icon in Steveston. His hundreds of stuffies will be donated to charity. Photo submitted

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

A Steveston man named Teddy Bear recently passed away and had a collection of more than 200 teddy bears donated to families in need overseas.

which accepted the teddy bears and agreed to ship them overseas to families in Africa and Asia.

“He loved everything teddy bears. He changed his name to Teddy Bear – we don’t know what his original name was,” said Sandi Merke, a resident of Anavets Senior Housing in Steveston where Bear lived.

“He had tattoos of teddy bears, rings of teddy bears and clothes with teddy bears, and he had more than 200 stuffed teddy bears collected and displayed in his whole apartment.”

Merke described Bear as a character and a “very spiritual man,” who would walk around Steveston and regularly sunbathe – even in winter – down by the wharf with his dog Lila, and chat with people passing by.

“He looked like an oldtime hippie. Everybody in Steveston knew him,” said Merke.

One day in October, Bear,

“I’m very happy. Those families will love his teddy bears and appreciate it,” said Merke.

who later passed away before Christmas at age 74, asked Merke if she could make sure his teddy bears went to people who would “love them as he does” after he passed away, and Merke agreed.

“I had made calls to local charities, but a lot of places won’t accept used toys, although they were displayed on shelves the whole time; it’s not that they were played with,” said Merke.

She finally found the Victoria-based organization Compassionate Warehouse

City of Richmond

Lucy Kent, a long-time friend of Bear who works in a pet store in Steveston, said she hopes the teddies will make it to those families’ homes and bring them as much joy and comfort as they did to Teddy.

“He didn’t have a very happy childhood. Because he was named Ted, I think he just made (teddy bears) like his family – he didn’t really have a family, so they were like family to him,” said Kent.

“After he passed away, so many people would stop and say, ‘oh we are going to miss him, he was such a wonderful man.’ I don’t think he even knew how many friends he had. He is definitely a Steveston icon.”

Dry month can lead to binging Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

With endless parties, December’s holiday season may feel like a month of non-stop indulgence. That’s why some follow it with “dry January,” a month of sobriety to compensate for a month of excess.

But this liver-detoxing tradition has at least one expert cautioning dry January participants.

The trend was started in England in 2013 by Alcohol Change UK. Rick Dubras, executive director of Richmond Addiction Services Society, says there are certainly benefits to completely abstaining from alcohol for a month, but there could be drawbacks as well.

“If we go into a place of absolute restriction…a binge-abstinence cycle… can sort of play out with this idea of a dry January,” Dubras said, adding that cycle can be “just as damaging.”

“If everyone is binging all the time and then takes a month off and then is expecting to binge again in February, there’s obviously harm in that.”

For those living with an addiction to alcohol, dry January is not recommended.

“When we meet people who speak about heavy, daily or routine alcohol use, we generally don’t talk about going cold turkey,” he said. “Dry January is not really focused on people with addiction. Dry January is focused on the average Canadian who may have

taken on too much during Christmas time.”

One international student in Richmond wasn’t convinced to try the trend.

“I just like to hang out with my friends during the weekend, drink some beers and have fun,” Mark Fan told the News. “I don’t really see the harm of (drinking) so I don’t really want to stop it.

Dry January can offer is an opportunity to consider how and when one drinks.

“We use alcohol for numerous reasons so taking on a dry January can be a perfect opportunity to look into and understand that relationship with alcohol,” Dubras said.

Singer releases album Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

An R&B artist born and raised in Richmond is releasing his debut album this month.

Chrxs Jang, born Christopher Jang, has a first collection filled with smooth vocals over catchy beats, called Online Famous.

“I’ve always loved classical R&B. Now having people like Drake who… put a rapper’s cadence to a singer’s melody. My style has taken that direction. It comes naturally to me, that way of singing,” he told the the Richmond News while working on edits to a music video.

On Istagram, the 27-yearold croons his original numbers and picks up an acoustic guitar for unplugged covers of popular songs.

The album’s name, the same as one of its tracks, refers to a love interest that seems unattainable, Jang said.

“When you see that girl on Instagram that everybody follows but nobody can have … it’s written towards her, I guess. She’s a fantasy.”

He’s teased that single,

plus others “Get it On” and “Said Your Name,” where he swings between shaking off a lover and asking for her forgiveness.

RICHMOND NEWS

Whether you’re a professional yogi or if you just want to try yoga for the first time, one Richmond theatre is offering free yoga classes for all levels in a unique setting.

During a recent performance in Kelowna, a rapper liked Jang’s performance and thought he’d be a good fit at his label. Jang ended up signing with Real Solid Entertainment Inc., and flew to Toronto where he recorded the dozen-or-so songs on the debut record.

In January, Gateway Theatre is hosting free hatha yoga classes in its lobby to promote its upcoming production, Yoga Play.

Yoga Play, running from Feb. 7 to 16, is a contemporary comedy centring on the story of Joan, who has been hired to stabilize a yoga apparel giant after its CEO is brought down by a fat-shaming scandal. According to Gateway Theatre, the satirical production “asks what it takes to find authenticity in a world determined to sell enlightenment.”

“I’m feeling really good about it. It’s exciting,” Jang said. “And it’s crazy because there’s only going to be 10 to13 songs on this one. But I have, like, 40 songs on the backlog.”

“Even when I was a kid, I was just singing along to everything. I’d remember a tune in my head. It’s the thing that would stand out the most to me in life,” he said.

Jang was briefly signed to a record label along with his twin brother as a teen-

He says he looks up to artists like Drake, Ty Dolla $ign and Saint Soldier.

Jang has been musical his whole life, and says he usually writes songs by first finding a beat and freestyling to it to come up with a melody. He puts words down later.

There are three more free one-hour yoga classes, on Jan. 16, 23 and 30, starting at 8:45 a.m. The class, led by Richmond-based Perfect Hearts Yoga, is suitable for all levels and requires participants to pre-register at PerfectHeartsYoga.com and to bring a mat.

at music. Why aren’t you following your passions?”

“Getting a job, paying bills … I stopped believing in myself.”

Jang decided to take on a stage name because he was worried Chris would be too common.

He credits a move to Kelowna in 2016 to live with his older cousin with convincing him to focus on his craft.

“He worked on my mentality, my mindset. He was like, dude, you’re so good

“Take advantage of this opportunity to practice yoga in a unique setting and possibly with some of the cast members,” says a statement from the theatre.

“People always have told me to use my real name because it sounds like a celebrity name,” he laughed.

“But there are so many Chrises out there. So I added the X to make it a little saucy.”

“

The adrenalin rush starts the second the phone goes off at home.”

A few moments later, Daniel Wei is dialed into an emergency conference call with fellow volunteers on Richmond’s Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) Station 10 team.

The blood is now pumping fast among the crew members listening in on the call – which has been initiated by the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria because the coast guard needs an assist.

It could be a boat sinking in the Fraser River or on fire out on the Georgia Strait.

There’s always a crew on call – who have to be able to respond to one of two RCMSAR stations in Richmond within 15 minutes – but when it’s an emergency, it’s whoever is closest.

“There’s definitely a level of excitement and some people are drawn to that,” said Wei, an RCMSAR advanced crew member and training facilitator, of what it feels like when tr the th phone rings when he’s on call.

“And then there’s the sense of accomplishment m when a well-run mission is completed.”

Even if you’re not on call, “you can still pick it up,” added Eric Symons, Richmond RCMSAR’s recruitment officer, who has been at M the th station for 10 years.

“An automated message goes out and it goes to all of our phones and then you go g into in a conference line straight away.

“You then check in and say whether or not you’re going to respond. It’s a little chaotic and it’s a learning curve, for sure. “(Joint Rescue) looks at what resources they

have in the area and call it from there. It’s just the coast guard and us. They will obviously task the coast guard before us. Plus, we are on a 20-minute or so delay, by the time we get on the water.”

Station 10’s operational responsibilities extend as far south as Point Roberts, as far north as Bowen Island, west to the Gulf Islands and east, up the Fraser River to Pitt Lake.

They are tasked all manner of situations, such as broken down boats, sinking boats (they may have hit a log or something), overdue boats and to help with searches for people, including bridge-jumpers.

This month, Station 10 — a 48-strong team which has launches at Steveston Harbour and on the Fraser River’s middle arm — is on a recruitment drive and is looking for about 12 new crew members to train and retain.

In 2018, the 30-year-old station raced to more than 40 missions and com15 pleted 93 the previous year.

sked what the make-up of a perfect volunteer RCMSAR crew member looks like, Symons said they can come from all walks of life.

“The ultimate person is someone in the Richmond area, who can get here within 15 minutes of a call,” said Symons, who grew up in Richmond around boats.

“Boating experience and first aid is good, but we can put people through those programs.

“Male or female, it doesn’t matter and we have all ages, right up to retired people on crew.

“We have many people giving back to the community and retired people are great for daytime calls, as are paramedics, who work four days on and four days off.

“We have pilots, first responders, people in finance, dog walkers. We’ve even had people who’ve never been on a boat before.

“We don’t enter the water; the only people that go in the water are the coast guard divers. We do a lot of shoreline searches.”

Symons said not too many people stepped forward last year to volunteer and there is a natural drop-off in crew members, due to personal commitments.

Kicking off a new year of fundraising, Oceanside Fisheries is hosting a herring sale this Saturday to benefit Autism Community Training, or ACT. Herring will be sold at 3080 Moncton St. from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Twenty pound bags are $20, with all proceeds going to ACT. Ten pound bags are also available for $12.

Mike Rekis and Anne McCaw, the owners of Oceanside Fisheries sponsoring the event, have special ties to the autism community.

“Our daughter is a very able adult now, but we haven’t forgotten how important ACT is

to the success of children and adults with autism,” said McCaw. “We are supporting ACT because our family believes that the next generation of B.C. children deserves to have access to ACT’s impartial information and training resources.”

ACT, a Vancouver-based organization, aims to provide information and training relevant to the autism community around the world.

“ACT is heartened by the support we are receiving from Oceanside. We support all of B.C. with our free online information and training resources,” said Deborah Pugh, ACT’s executive director.

“Every bag of herring sold will help us continue to provide families with vital information on how to help their children.”

Bao steers new Titanic course

A Richmond company saved the world-famous exhibitions in 2015 Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

When Richmond businessman Daoping Bao watched the film Titanic in 1997, he never thought one day his company would own all the relics from that “unsinkable” cruiser and display them all over the world.

Many people have seen the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Lipont Place or in other countries, but not many know that a Richmond company “saved” these world-class exhibits three years ago.

Bao, from Shanghai, China, moved to Canada in 1984 where he studied film at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. He started Dinoking Tech Inc. in Ironwood in 2007, a company which produces animatronic dinosaurs for North American museums and theme parks.

The Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition displayed at Lipont Place near Cambie and No.3 roads wraps up on Friday, Jan. 11. Daoping Bao is preparing for their next exhibition in the Czech Republic. Daisy Xiong photo

Bao would probably have continued to focus on his animatronic businesses if an opportunity didn’t occur to him in 2015, when Atlanta-based Premier Exhibitions, the owner of RMS Titanic Inc. which is the sole salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck, sought a merger.

“Last year, our revenue was US$ 20 million. But what makes me more satisfied is that I did something many people said I wouldn’t be able to,” he said.

“The company was $20 million in losses and was losing $400,000 every month. Many people didn’t believe that I could make it, including my financial advisor who resigned,” recalled Bao.

Premiere Exhibitions currently has 5,500 Titanic relics with around 1,300 on display annually in different countries, but Bao said these are only the tip of the iceberg.

“Personally I don’t agree with that,” said Bao. “If the dead’s items cannot be touched, then all the museums have to be closed and there wouldn’t be history for human beings.”

“Everything was picked up outside of the shipwreck — we haven’t salvaged anything inside yet,” he said.

He said the company puts samples at the wreck site regularly to test the erosion rate.

Many people have wondered what the company is going to do with all the relics, which are valued at billions of dollars.

“One day, everything will be eroded and gone. They are historical relics and I believe all of them should be salvaged and preserved,” said Bao.

“But I believe in the Titanic brand. It has over 100 years of history, and it reflects the history and culture of so many countries. It is a very rare cultural brand in the U.S. I don’t want to see it fail.”

Spending US$ 13.5 million cash and meeting other conditions, Dinoking Tech Inc. was merged with Premier Exhibitions in 2015, in which Bao’s team acquired a 47-per cent share and became the largest shareholder. Bao was appointed the chairman and CEO of the company.

After applying for bankruptcy protection and implementing a series of methods to reduce costs, including downsizing the workforce, Premier Exhibitions broke even at the end of 2016, according to Bao. The company is transferring from the public sector to the private sector “to further lower the operation cost,” he added.

Bao responds to controversies around relics

“We possess all the salvaged relics and those to be salvaged in the future, but the American court has ordered that we cannot damage or discard any of them, and we cannot sell them separately,” said Bao. However, some 2,100 artifacts recovered by the company in 1987 together with a French maritime institute, are an exception, according to Bao. “The French government had a say on those relics before, but we challenged their rights in court in 2016 and won the case. We now have 100 per cent say over these artefacts,” he said.

“So legally we can sell them piece by piece, but it doesn’t

FROM

But Bao noted that the whole salvage process will take a long time, and the cost is around US$ 1 million per day.

“In 2010, we did a major mapping project of the wreck, and we plan to go down once this year,” he said, adding all the artifacts are preserved by their collections department.

Although there is much speculation about the reason for the sinking of the legendary cruise, Bao believes the truth lies in the safe in the shipwreck which has never been opened.

“There were two hours from the beginning to the sinking — enough time for the captain to leave a message in the safe, where he knows it is the safest place,” said Bao.

Currently, there are controversies around salvaging the wreck, as some are concerned that the wreck is the graveyard of the people who lost their lives and should be left in peace.

With his team having a heck of a time dealing with full court pressure that resulted in a sizeable second half deficit, Jamal Mullings made a plea to his opposing coaches.

“I told the other team to please keep that press on so the boys can learn. If they take the foot of the gas then we are not going to be able to get better. We are trying to put a quality product on the court. As long as the guys have fun and learn to play quality basketball, that’s a win in itself.”

A 100-70 loss to the McNair Marlins Tuesday night leaves them with an 0-5 record. However, wins and losses don’t reflect the bigger picture at a school where even flooring a team was a challenge until recently.

This season, Burnett has seven boys and girls teams competing in the various city leagues — ranging from Bantam to Senior. That’s giving roughly 90 kids an opportunity to experience competitive basketball which will always be the most important element of high school sports.

“It’s tough coming in at the senior level and trying to make a difference. I had two Grade 10s playing their first (senior) game today. We are building as we go along. Most of all they are learning life skills. Show up to practice on time. How to warm-up. How to prepare. Things like that.”

Sockeyes extend win streak to 7 at Winter Classic his nearest rival — linemate Jacob De Waal.

Yet the Pilots couldn’t solve Sockeyes goaltender Jeremy Kelleway who also blanked them 3-0 on home ice back in October.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

The 20-year-old was at his best in the early going and leads the league in shutouts (6), goals against (1.74) and save percentage (.944) by a wide margin. After a season of playing junior “A” in Alberta, the White Rock resident stepped away from the game last year before being convinced by Reusch to come back for his final year of junior.

Head coach Brett Reusch’s biggest task right now is making sure his streaking hockey team doesn’t get too far ahead of itself.

This past weekend’s Pacific Junior Hockey League Winter Classic at Minoru Arenas couldn’t have gone much better for the Richmond Sockeyes.

Not only did the hosts sweep their games against Abbotsford (5-0) and Aldergrove (41) to stretch their win streak to seven, they got some help as well. The two teams above them in the standings — North Vancouver and Delta — could only manage splits, leaving the Sockeyes just six points out of top spot overall with two games in hand.

Richmond (23-7-2-1) also has a favourable schedule with a home-and-home series against the Surrey Knights (1-33-0-1) then a meeting with the expansion White Rock Whalers (13-9-0-2). There’s a good chance the Sockeyes will be push the streak to 10 before heading into a huge home-and-home series with first place North Van (Jan. 2426). Just don’t tell the head coach that.

“In this league you don’t take anything for granted. We have to go out and earn those

tion to control our own destiny.”

Abbotsford came into Richmond Friday night as the PJHL’s second highest scoring team thanks mainly to 20-year-old sniper Baylee Wright who leads the league with 96 points in 33 games which is 29 more than

“He lives (in the Whalers) backyard so it wasn’t easy. It took some work but we have a few guys he played (in the Delta Hockey Academy) with,” added Reusch. In the first minute (against Abbotsford) we could have been down 1-0 three different times. We weren’t ready to play but Kelleway kept us in it. That was huge. Once we settled down it went from there and the momentum carried.”

The eighth place Kodiaks hung tough with Richmond for the better part of three periods. A spectacular end-to-end goal by Isaac Embree and Marcus Pantazis’ second of the night in the final 86 seconds sealed the win.

The home-and-home with the Surrey Knights will see Richmond on the road Thursday then the teams return to Minoru for a rare Sunday 4:45 p.m. start.

“New Balance Richmond is thrilled to be associated with the Steveston Icebreaker such a well-run race winding through the scenic Steveston waterfront. We’re particularly excited this year due to the addition of the (New Balance KidsRun) — a great way to encourage our youth to experience the benefits of exercise in a supportive setting,” said Jordan Cluff, owner New Balance Richmond, located at the Centre of Garden City.

Organizers have partnered up with Richmond’s New Balance store to add a 1km KidsRun that will get underway at 8:30 a.m. — 30 minutes prior to the main event.

All proceeds from the KidsRun will go to the Richmond KidSport chapter — the non-profit organization that provides grants for city children to play organized sports.

“Our goal for adding the New Balance KidsRun, is to encourage the community to be active and get parents/families out running with their children; also hopefully bringing out different sectors of the community to enjoy a day of fun, health and fitness,” said race director Jared Hulme.

“Additionally, we hope to raise some money and bring awareness to KidSport Richmond which helps hundreds of Richmond children participant in sport each year.

KidSport has such a huge impact across the country, helping out thousands of kids yearly so we want to make sure Richmond

Hulme adds he is expecting another big turnout for the main event which has significantly grown in recent years and serves as the opener of the Lifestages Lower Mainland Road Race Series.

22nd Steveston Icebreaker will hit the village streets on Sunday, Jan. 20. Registration is currently underway at kajaks.ca. Photo by Boaz Joseph residents don’t miss out on participating in sport, simply due to the cost.”

Each KidsRun finisher will receive an in-

augural New Balance KidsRun Ribbon and there will be free run, jump, and throw demo by coaches from the Kajaks Track

The Steveston Icebreaker is an important fundraiser for the Kajaks which has been serving Richmond for over 55 years.

There will once again be a free community-run expo at the Steveston Community Centre from 9:30 to 11 a.m. for all to enjoy. It will feature food sampling, music and more.

DICKIESON, Robert Douglas May 11, 1932 - December 14, 2018 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our much loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Bob fought a long brave battle until the very end and was surrounded by the love of his family. He will be deeply missed by his best friend & wife of 35 years, Kate, his daughter Lisa Craker, son David Munro (Andrea), his 4 beloved grand-daughters Tiffani, Kiersten, Lindsay & Faith, his sister Lenore Noel along with many nieces & nephews in Guelph, Ontario and many friends near and far. He was predeceased by his parents Winifred and Lance Dickieson as well as his first wife Ruby.

Bob grew up on a farm in Ariss, Ontario, where he quickly learned the value of hard work. After leaving the farm he worked in the construction industry and then joined Bucyrus-Erie in 1957. In 1972 he was transferred to Richmond, BC to manage their parts warehouse, and this is where he met Kate and soon made Richmond his home. Bob and Kate married in 1984, and when the warehouse moved to Edmonton the following year, both Bob and Kate decided to take “early retirement”. Not being one to lead an idle life, Bob kept busy by remodelling their home and enjoying his woodworking hobby. To further fill his time he joined the Mylora Senior Men’s Golf Club where he quickly made many friendships, became team captain then president, and also proudly accomplished several hole-in-one shots.

Bob and Kate enjoyed many years of travel both near and far. Some hi-lights include cruising the world, a week-long hiking trip along the Cape Scott Trail on Vancouver Island, and many road trips to places like Death Valley, Las Vegas and areas throughout Canada. Once their grandchildren arrived, Bob and Kate shared their time between these two passions.

Embracing Kate’s Danish roots, Bob became a proud member of the Danish Brotherhood where he and Kate enjoyed friendships and festivities for more than 20 years. He was always proud to have become an “honorary Dane”.

Throughout the years he was passionate about heating the house with a wood stove and spent countless hours acquiring and cutting wood to keep the house warm. Responding to messages of free wood in the neighbourhood, Bob could often be seen bringing wheelbarrow loads home.

In the last 10 years he battled many health issues including prostate cancer, melanoma and pneumonia. These, along with many long term side effects, often caused him to spend weeks in hospital at a time. Through it all he maintained his sense of humour, often keeping hospital staff entertained with his wit and optimism.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We would like to thank the staff at Richmond Hospital, the palliative care unit and The Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House for their empathetic care in the last few weeks of Bob’s life.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, January 19th at 11:00am at the Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Road, Richmond. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to The Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House or a charity of your choice.

NASHLUND, Kenneth James.

January 15th, 1940 - December 30th, 2018 After battling dementia for nearly three years, longtime Richmond resident Ken passed away peacefully with his wife at his side at Rosewood Manor. He is the youngest child of Swedish and Finnish parents Helge and Saimi and is predeceased by sister Ann and brother Verner.

Ken is survived by his second wife of 21 years, Conchita, ex-wife Barbara, sons Nikolaus (Nonie) and Henrik, and grandchildren Rebecca (10), Benjamin (8), and Megan (5).

Ken was born in Timmins, Ontario and was a proud graduate of Timmins High and Vocational School at the top of his class. After THVS, he left Timmins to do a variety of jobs around Ontario before eventually attending Ryerson in Toronto.

He completed his studies in public health and moved with his first wife, Barbara, to Vancouver, where he worked for the City of Vancouver as a public health inspector. With children on the horizon, he moved to Richmond and became a health inspector for what was then, the Municipality of Richmond, which is where he worked until he retired at the age of 62.

Ken loved music, movies, dancing, wine, sunshine, traveling, cars, and saving money.

When grandchildren came on the scene, “Papa” and “Lola” loved to spoil them with love, attention, and sweets. At his request, no funeral will be held, but there will be a gathering to share memories at a date TBD. In lieu of flowers, it would make my dad smile if you made a direct payment on the principal of your mortgage.

ELDEN, Devine 1938 - 2018 On December 30, 2018, Devine left neatly packed on Flight #000 Heaven bound after a long and full, creative and colorful life. Devine leaves behind an eclectic group of friends and family who will continue her legacy by passing forward the many little pearls of wisdom she so consistently shared.

Her constant reminders to - Live a life with an “Attitude of Gratitude” or “Each One, Teach One” will remain with each of us and ensure her generosity of spirit continues on in the world!

“Reflection” I shall pass through this life but once.

If, therefore, there is any kindness I can show, Or any good I can do any fellow being, Let me not deter or neglect it, For I shall not pass this way again.

Devine died with appreciation for the Medical Assistance in Dying program. In her words, “We are all a sacred part of each other’s journey, that’s what makes us friends. It’s not easy to leave this earth.

Please be grateful for the long and meaningful relationships we have had.

Remember I love you all”.

Blessings continue to shine on you, Devine Devine’s sense of peace and strength at the end was, as always, an example to those of us present.

While we will miss you Devine, we know that you will be on the welcoming committee when our time comes!

A Memorial for Devine will be held on Saturday, January 19th, 2019 at 3 p.m. at St. Anne’s Steveston Anglican Church, (#1 and Francis), 4071 Francis Road, Richmond. A reception will follow in the Common Room of the Church. Anyone who still has one of Devine’s famous jumpsuits is invited to wear it.

Thank-you to everyone who has been so important in Devine’s life. It is your friendship, support and kindness that has sustained her over all these years. In lieu of flowers, please give to the SOS Children’s Village B.C., 302 - 14225 57th Avenue, Surrey, B.C. Canada V3X 0H6. More info at myalternatives.ca

RAND, Sharon E. November 7, 1937 - December 19, 2018 On December 19th 2018, our wonderful Mom and Grandmother Sharon Rand passed away suddenly but peacefully in her own home.

Sharon was born in Edmonton and moved to Richmond with her husband Earle and their two young sons in 1969. They enjoyed a vast network of friends and family since then and especially since the passing of her best friend and soulmate Earle in April 2014. Sharon was called “Mom” by many of her son’s close friends and their door and pool was always open even if her own boys were not home. Many happy summers were spent at Little Shuswap Lake at her parents cabin with her family and friends.

Sharon was predeceased by her sister Gail and her mother Kay. Sharon is survived by her two son’s Richard (Karla) Rand and Yoni (Debbie) Rand and the “lights of her life” her grandchildren Daniel, Noa and Leah. Sharon will be remembered as a loving wife, mother and grandmother and will be sadly missed by everyone.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
