There’s nowt as queer as folk Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

After 20 years in the news business, I’d like to think I’m a good judge of what’s going to make a good news story.

And before everyone squints in disbelief, when I say “good” story, I simply mean popular with our readers.

But every now and again, I find myself reaching for the reading glasses to double-take on the page view numbers for a certain story on our website, Richmond-News.com.

5

When the numbers come into focus, it’s usually followed by a “what the,” sometimes a “wow” and a shake of the head.

Case in point last week, when I heard that a local Ricky’s restaurant franchise, on No. 3 Road near the Yaohan Centre, was set to shut up shop after 32 years.

Initially, I thought I might put together a little piece quickly, just to record another small piece of old Richmond fading into the history books, as I know these types of stories to be quite popular with our readers. But, quite frankly, not this much.

The story went live 10 a.m. on Sunday and, by around 5 p.m., it had generated thousands of “original page views.”

10

It was clear by Sunday evening it was going to be one of, if not THE, most popular story of the week.

There’s obviously a fair bit reminiscing involved with these kinds of stories and the lamenting of the loss of another oldschool diner in Richmond’s changing restaurant environment.

And there was the inevitable fury at another slice of the Western world being lost to the city’s prevalent Asian influences.

But even still, I’m often stunned how popular these stories are online.

As they say in my native Scotland, “There’s nowt as queer as folk.” Which roughly translates to “There’s nothing as strange as people.”

20 37

With all due respect to the outgoing owner of the diner in question, how good could it really have been to generate such an outpouring of emotion?

Was there something extra special about the all-day breakfast that was driving traffic to the Richmond News website and Facebook page?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the all-day breakfast at Ricky’s, but the loss of such wouldn’t keep me awake at night.

18

It clearly does for others, however, judging by the page views clocked up by recent stories about the departure of Bob’s Subs, Danny’s Screamers and Danny’s Wun Tun. But rather than that particular Ricky’s franchise being anything out of the ordinary, I think the aforementioned adoration of the outlet is generated mainly by our tendency to peer at the past through rose-tinted spectacles.

Clinging onto the past, in my humble opinion, gives people an anchor of security, a foundation for which to fall back on, especially when all around you is changing far faster than you’re comfortable with.

But if you don’t take the spectacles off, at least now and again, that anchor may soon weigh too heavy and you’ll be forever stuck in the past.

I like all different kinds of food, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese food, etc. Sometimes I would go to Southeast Asia or China just to have the food there.

I have nothing to complain about here. The dim sum is even better than in mainland China.

I think Chinese food is the best because I’m Chinese. Sometimes I will eat some Beijing food.

I like Greek food, and anything Asian, to be honest. I like A&W too. I like everything.

I’m happy I can eat food in Richmond from different places like Japan, China, America or other countries.

Maybe we can have more Pho places in Richmond. I love Pho.

I think there is a pretty good selection here.

House the homeless or have homelessness; it’s our choice

Cash for taxes sure raises my suspicions Dear Editor, Re: “Taxes paid in cash raises suspicions,” News, April 4.

Dear Editor, Re: “Growing tent city in Richmond raising residents’ ire,” Richmond-News.com.

Well, I guess I will just go and pay my taxes with that extra cash in my wallet.

I am confused, folks are complaining about the homeless camp in Hamilton, yet a short time ago they were complaining about the Temporary Modular Housing project intended to house those very same people now sleeping in tents.

Kudos to Kelly Greene for saying it like it is: if you are paying with that much cash,

you are more than likely engaged in tax evasion or money laundering. It is disappointing that Mayor Brodie sees it differently.

Keep up the good work, Ms. Greene. We need your kind of leadership on city council.

Most of these folks sleeping rough would rather not live in the rain and scrounge for food with the constant threat of assault hanging over their heads — yes, this type of homelessness is a violent, cruel life filled with fear.

Canada’s former attorney general and minister of justice, Jody Wilson-Raybould has been treated very harshly by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal caucus.

All she was trying to do was ensure that any kind of interference in our justice system was deemed not appropriate.

from any kind of political control. Jody Wilson–Raybould was upholding that reality.

She deserves the Order of Canada for standing up for truth. I would like to commend her for standing her ground and being firm in her conviction.

We need more courageous political leaders like her.

Canadians pride themselves on the fact our judiciary is totally independent and free

Schools empty thanks to city’s bad planning Dear Editor, Part of my job as a post-secondary design educator was to make my students aware that if they didn’t take full and proper care of business at the front end of a design and problem-solving process, they would increase the chances of there being a host of problems occurring at the back end that could be difficult if not impossible to fix.

The situations that Richmond School District is facing in regards to declining enrolments, possible closures, and lack of funding for building upgrades are consequences of uneducated, uninformed city/ community planning on the part of the City of Richmond — a lack of design awareness and thinking in the past that has led to serious and perhaps unsolvable problems in the present.

The schools that were built in Richmond from the 1960s on were in response to the growing number of residential complexes that were being built across the city, and those homes were almost entirely occupied by middle-class families with schoolaged children (my family moved into such a complex in 1956), and up until 10-15 years ago there was still a relatively viable

balance between student populations and seats available in classrooms.

But with these family homes being progressively replaced by new edifices that either remain unoccupied, or are used as hotels or for ‘other’ purposes, the number of children in many neighbourhoods has been, and continues to be, drastically reduced with every passing year — thus the problems school board is now facing.

On every count this is a situation that exemplifies the principles related to informed and responsible design that I tried to impart to my students.

Had those who have governed Richmond for the last 50 years bothered to educate themselves as to the longitudinal consequences of uninformed and unconcerned city/community planning and been prescient enough to implement laws and codes that would have inhibited or prevented what is happening to our once familyfriendly neighbourhoods, today’s families and our school board would not be faced with the problems and challenges that now exist.

Thanks for cleaning up poop

At the southeast corner of No. 2 Road and Francis is a colourful display of impact barriers which would be more fitting on a car race course.

Many thanks to this anonymous individual who worked for hours at a very tedious task so that the paths would be clean for all of us to enjoy our daily walk. It is so enlightening to see people within our community putting their energies into tasks that benefit others.

I appreciate this is a high-accident corner and the townhouse fence has been destroyed a number of times but, my goodness, this is ugly and more fitting in a war zone protecting a military base.

Here are two greener more suburban suggestions: 1) Plant fast-growing ivy to camouflage the impact barriers; 2) Remove the barriers and build a raised garden and plant with shrubs.

I, for one, am very grateful! Thank you.

Life for the Disabled; is a change coming?

Parents of a disabled child who receives Provincial Income Disability assistance can, in their Estate planning, utilize a well known Estate planning tool called the Discretionary Trust. Parents tend to make these Trusts so that their disabled children receive the benefit of the income generated, and do not lose their Provincial Income disability assistance. When applying for the disability assistance, the Discretionary Trust is not counted as an “asset” in the determination of the child’s eligibility for assistance.

Last January, reasons were released by the Supreme Court of Canada in a case called S.A. v. Metro Vancouver Housing Society. In that case, the disabled person had been for years residing in a home operated by the Society and received rental assistance. The person had to provide an annual statement of income in order to verify her eligibility. Her father died in 2012 and his Estate set a Testamentary Discretionary Trust (sometimes called a “Henson Trust”) for her benefit. The Society in 2015 requested details of the Trust. The tenant refused.

The Society then terminated rental assistance. The Supreme Court of Canada had to decide whether the Trust was an “asset”. The Court decided that the Henson Trust is not an asset to use in the determination whether any applicant was entitled to rent assistance. But the Court did add that there may be occasions where the Henson Trust can be treated as an “asset”, depending on any particular assisting program’s rules and regulations. This comment may in future have some influence on the “asset” status of a Henson Trust. Parents will have to beware of this risk in their planning.

Growing tent city raises residents’ ire, sparks fears Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A growing number of tents pitched at a homeless camp in Richmond’s Hamilton neighbourhood are raising the ire of local residents.

After making numerous complaints to the City of Richmond and the RCMP about health and safety, public defecation and theft, concerned residents have set up a Facebook page “Hamilton Homeless Camps.”

According to the residents, it started off last November with one or two tents at the site, close to Westminster Highway and Boundary Road, but has grown, they claim, to between five and 10 tents recently.

The site’s proximity to a daycare and the local community centre ranks high on the list of fears being expressed.

One of the residents, Cassi Teraguchi, a mother of two young kids, lives close to the site.

“Both my kids go to the daycare next to the campsite and we do lots of stuff at the community centre near there. I understand (the camp residents) are using the centre also,” she told the Richmond News.

“The city’s solution was to cut back the bushes at the site, but that just made more space for more tents. I’ve seen up to 10 tents there at one time.

“I used to walk the path through that site to get to the daycare and walk back with my kids. Not anymore, I don’t feel safe.

Teraguchi said she’s heard of windows

“I have a big heart and people actually took blankets over to them in the beginning, but my kids’ safety will always be more important,” she added.

“I would like them to find safe shelter, but I would like this site to be removed, if I’m honest. It’s a dangerous spot. Now the city has given them an actual address, it’s making it seem permanent.”

Johal, meanwhile, has been to visit the site and spoken with some of the occupants.

“It’s not just homelessness, there seems to be other issues there, as well, possibly drugs,” he said.

“I had a good conversation with (the camp occupants), they’re trying to find a place to live. I think they’re trying to keep the place clean.

“I would urge city councillors to come out here and see the site for themselves to get a real sense of the challenges.”

“I agree that children have a right to their safety and innocence. As a dad, I wouldn’t want this in front of my home either,” added Johal, who has spoken to the city and been told that the fire department and city bylaws staff are on top of the situation.

“My worry is (the camp) could...get bigger.”

City spokesperson Ted Townsend told the News that the city is aware of “five to six persons living on the site, who were apparently reno-victed from a rental home.

“The city has been closely monitoring and managing the site. Bylaws, fire and/or RCMP staff continue to visit the site on a daily basis.

“Richmond Fire-Rescue visits the site at least twice weekly and are working with the residents to ensure fire safety measures are in place and being followed.

“This includes ensuring there are fire extinguishers on site and other safety measures are in place.”

Townsend added that the city’s bylaw officers visit the site daily to ensure that minimum health and safety and other standards are being met.

“The residents have been co-operative in bagging their garbage for removal and keeping the site contained,” he said.

“RCMP, including patrol officers and members of the Vulnerable Persons section, are also visiting the site on a regular basis to ensure the residents are safe and to prevent public nuisances or criminal behaviours.

“The persons living at the site have been cooperative in working with city staff to address our concerns regarding safety and keeping the site cleaned up.

“They are actively trying to secure rental housing on their own and are also working with city and provincial staff to identify potential social housing options.”

Community safety, added Townsend, “remains a priority for the city and we’re satisfied that public safety is not being compromised. RCMP report that there has been no recent increase in reported crime in the Hamilton area.”

Townsend said the city shares the residents’ desire to find a permanent solution for all parties.

“However, the city must consider many issues in dealing with this issue, including legal precedents established by the courts in regards to relocating homeless who are camped on public property,” he said.

Rental-only zoning Indigenous sent for feedback justice Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A proposal for rental-only zoning in Richmond was punted back to staff after city council’s planning committee said there was a need for more information and consultation with the public and stakeholders.

The proposed bylaw would have imposed a “rental-only” zoning on 60 properties in Richmond that already are 100 per cent rental. The second part was to consider implementing rental-only zoning for new multi-family apartment developments. Staff had recommended passing the rental-only zoning for the 60 units, but seek public consultation on other rental-only zones. The committee, however, decided it all needed to be put before the public for feedback.

The 60 properties included 21 market rental housing complexes, 22 non-market housing complexes and 17 housing cooperatives for a total of 4,125 units.

Creation of rental-only zones became possible after the provincial government introduced changes to the Local Government Act last May. “When the province brought this legislation in (…) it was a tool for local governments to use if we wish,” Coun. Linda McPhail, planning committee chair, told the Richmond News. “It’s not something you have to do but it’s something you can consider.”

McPhail said she was in support of the idea at first, but after hearing some ques-

tions that staff weren’t able to answer, she now feels it’s better to seek public consultation in “support of full transparency.”

John Roston, who ran for council in October, wrote in an open letter to mayor and council, calling the 10-per-cent requirement “totally inadequate” and suggested they increase it to 60-per-cent rental in large developments, pointing out the vacancy rate is less than one per cent in Richmond.

“You will not make as much as you would selling high-end units to foreign speculators, but you can make money while providing Richmond with the housing it needs,” he said in written submission to the committee.

Local developer Dana Westermark also addressed the planning committee saying the topic came up suddenly and called the proposed bylaw an “unnecessary step” because the city already has a policy to replace each rental unit with another one.

“I think this is a solution looking for a problem,” he told the committee. He added the bylaw might have unintended consequences, for example, affecting the market value and thereby reducing how much can be borrowed against a property.

Coun. Alexa Loo said she felt the issue should be put out for public consultation so that council approaches it with their “eyes wide open.”

The committee asked staff to hold public and stakeholder consultation sessions about both proposals, the rezoning of the 60 existing rental properties and rentalonly zoning in new developments.

explored at forum Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

An intensive, two-day forum aiming to change the relationship between First Nations peoples and the criminal justice system is coming to Richmond, with former Minister of Justice and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould as the keynote speaker.

The event on April 24 and 25, hosted by the First Nations Justice Council at the Westin Wall Centre in Richmond, hopes to collect guidance from First Nations leaders on how to address overrepresentation of First Nations peoples in the correctional system.

“The crisis of overrepresentation and associated challenges across the criminal justice system are long-standing and longrecognized,” said Doug White, chair of the BC First Nations Justice Council in a press release.

White pointed to the Colten Boushie trial as an example of “how broken the relationship is between Indigenous peoples and the criminal justice system,” as well as the high proportion of Indigenous peoples in Canadian jails, which he says is at 28 per cent of the overall prison population.

Jody Wilson-Raybould Canadian Press photo On the first day of the forum, Wilson-Raybould is scheduled to present on the challenges of Indigenous justice in Canada.

Wilson-Raybould has been making national headlines in recent weeks after she was removed from the Liberal party caucus one week ago, following her resignation from cabinet in February, shortly after she was moved out of the justice portfolio.

Wilson-Raybould was the first Indigenous person to hold the position of attorney general. She had previously served in highranking roles in Indigenous organizations, including as regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations.

In its statement about the forum, First Nations Justice Councils says “in addition to her presentation, Ms. Wilson-Raybould will be honoured for her historic and on-going work and leadership on behalf of Indigenous peoples and all Canadians.”

Earlier this month, representatives from each B.C. community, either the chief or an approved alternate, were invited to attend the forum and registration is still open.

Community garden demand grows Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Four new community gardens have been proposed for Richmond over the next couple years, but one councillor is hoping the city will follow up on a comprehensive farm plan for the entire municipality.

The sites, at Garden City Lands, Gardens Agricultural Park, Riverport Waterfront and Cook Neighbourhood Park, would allow another 250 people to garden, but demand seems to be always increasing and the city should provide a lot more, according to Coun.

Harold Steves.

“As you see the price of food going up and the problems we have with contaminated food and chemicals in food (…) more and more people will be want-

ing be involved in gardens and grow their own food,” he said.

Steves, who chairs the parks and recreation committee where the topic came up last week, would like to see a continuous program whereby the city is adding more land for gardens and incubator farms, something he said was approved by council a few years ago.

Amy Salizon grows several varieties of beans and other vegetables and herbs at her Terra Nova Community Garden plot.

“So, it’s not just three or four gardens, we’re looking at an overall plan for the community, to implement a farm plan,” he added.

The program went on hold, according to Steves, when the province started planning a bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel, as that project would have expropriated land from the former Fantasy Gardens site which was earmarked for incubator farms and allotment gardens.

One of the proposed gar-

dens that was before the parks and recreation committee last week was at this site, renamed the Gardens Agricultural Park.

The city currently has nine community garden sites, run by the Richmond Food Security Society, and there are also three other community

garden sites run by other organizations with a total of 568 garden plots. Waitlists for the city sites are two to three years long with currently 265 people.

Amy Salizon was at her garden plot at the Terra Nova Community Garden in late March cleaning

up and preparing for this year’s gardening season.

While she gets a good harvest from her small plot, much of her pleasure is derived from being at the community garden site in the fresh air and socializing with other gardeners.

“The people are friendly – they’re a cool group,” she said.

They spend time admiring each other’s gardens and sharing plants and ideas.

“I enjoy it – that’s the main thing,” she said, adding she’s at the garden two or three times a week.

Growing up in the Philippines, Salizon’s family had 20 acres where they grew bananas, peanuts and vegetables. Everyone in the Philippines grew what they could even if they just had a small yard, Salizon said.

Her grandmother grew vegetables in a few pots as that was all she had space for.

At her plot, Salizon grows six or seven varieties of beans and is able to fill her freezer with beans to last the entire winter.

There will always be a need for more gardens, said Ian Lai, executive director of the Richmond Food Security Society, and, even with the four proposed gardens, Lai doesn’t expect the wait times to decrease due to ongoing densification and residents scaling down into apartments.

“There will always be a need for wellness and spaces, greenspaces – it’s part of horticultural therapy for people,” Lai said.

Community gardens also provide a great sense of community, Lai said, with the society focusing on workshops and engagement activities to combat social isolation.

This is Part 3 of a five-part series on the LRFP The school board is looking at strategies to manage its space challenges. Suggestions include reducing space by the equivalent of one high school and five elementary schools, moving French immersion from McRoberts to Palmer secondary after consolidating McNair and McRoberts or consoidating Palmer and McNair and keeping French immersion at McRoberts.

These are just a few of the strategies the Richmond board of education will contemplate as they think about the best way to deal with aging schools, declining enrolment in some areas and high growth in others, the possibility of damage to schools from earthquakes but also the educational needs of all students.

The draft Long-Range Facilities Plan (LRFP), currently out for public consultation, divides the school district into four main areas and presents specific strategies for each. Previous LRFP exercises have ended with the threat of school closures, and the LRFP does mention “consolidation” of catchments which would inevitably lead to closures.

However, the Minister of Education, Rob Fleming, told the Richmond News his government isn’t pushing for closures.

Fleming said the provincial government has removed restrictions that previously stalled seismic upgrades to schools across the province, for example, the requirement to be 95-per-cent full.

“We’ve made it very clear to school districts both through our operating funding as well as new instructions around the LRFP, our government is not interested in closing schools,” Fleming told the Richmond News. “We want districts to focus on making good educational decisions.”

Fleming said the provincial government is asking school districts to align their LRFPs more closely with municipalities’ Official Community Plans, and some of the densification planned for Richmond could bring in more students.

“It would be a mistake to close schools that would be vibrant in a few years with a higher student population,” he said.

GATEWAY SHOWS at Richmond-News.com

KPU students make fashion do more Megan Devlin MDEVLIN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Diversity, functionality and sustainability are the major themes at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s fashion show this year.

The annual show allows the 20-or-so graduating students in the fashion program to show off their collections—hand-sewn looks to be worn by models on the runway.

The clothes all target an under-served area of the fashion market, from children with sensitive skin to women who want couture dresses above a size 12 to elevated lingerie inspired by ancient Korean royalty.

Clothing that works for eczema Samantha Chio created a clothing line for children with skin conditions, inspired by her own experience growing up with eczema.

“In Grade 7 I had a huge breakout, and I actually had to stay in the hospital for two weeks,” she said, describing the experience as one of the hardest in her life.

She remembers how hard it was to find clothes that wouldn’t irritate the blisters, and how living with the condition was mentally as well as physically challenging.

For her project, she’s made soft, colourful

pieces from organic materials to give kids with eczema something fun to wear.

ed from luxurious fabrics, the pieces look like they could be at home on the red carpet.

“I realized that most of the market with organic clothes is usually quite plain.”

“My launch collection is heavily inspired by ancient Korean royalty,” she said.

She dreams one day of having her own clothing brand.

Cho grew up in White Rock and didn’t feel particularly connected to her Korean heritage in the mostly white community. But she said checking in with her culture for her final project has been an incredibly rewarding experience.

“Functionality in fashion means a lot to me. So whatever I do, I hope that I’ll be able to help people in some way.”

“I really want to empower women. Especially people who were born in my shoes— women who grew up here who are Korean or maybe even any other culture that is a little bit more conservative,” she said.

Size-inclusive high fashion Wendy Schindler, owner of Devotion Designs, is also sewing for a cause. She wants to make couture available to plus-size women.

“The average sized North American woman is a size 14-16, and designer luxury brands stop at a size 10-12,” she said. “So, it’s like, you’re missing out on such a huge part of your market.”

She pulled out a red gown she’d poured more than 1,000 hours into beading by hand. The frock was made with curvier bodies in mind.

“I want to give women in that size range the opportunity to wear something handcrafted and beautiful.”

After graduating, Schindler plans to move to the U.K., and one day has dreams of being the first Canadian fashion house invited into

“I hope to empower them, to know that you can do whatever you want. You don’t have to fit into whatever stereotype your minority is.”

Nabi Intimates Angela Jihea Cho, a third graduating student, created an intimates collection inspired by traditional Korean hanbok dresses. Craft-

Nabi means butterfly in Korean, and Cho likes how the colourful insect evokes ideas of love and beauty in Korean culture and growth and self-actualization in the West.

You can see all the students’ designs on the runway on April 18 at KPU’s Wilson School of Design.

Other collections focus on women who work in the trades and landscaping, plus environmentally conscious streetwear looks.

There will be five opportunities to watch throughout the day.

Language barriers overcome during reality TV show Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Whether it’s coming to the aid of a lost Chinese tourist, helping a passed-out East Indian woman, or racing an expectant Filipina mother to hospital, it’s all in a day’s work for Richmond paramedic James Fang.

Fang, a primary care paramedic of 19 years (seven in Richmond), is one of the reallife stars of a new, 10-part TV series on the Knowledge Network called Paramedics: Life on the Line, which follows the everyday dramas of paramedics and dispatchers in the Lower Mainland.

The first episode aired last week and Fang, alongside colleague Kin Leung, will feature in episode four, called “Connections.”

The hour-long show has scenes many Richmondites will recognize, including the Middle Arm Dyke, Granville Avenue and No. 2 Road as well as, obviously, Richmond Hospital.

In the episode, communication barriers in Richmond are in the spotlight, with Fang and Leung utilizing a sophisticated, 200-language translation service to help an elderly Chinese tourist, despite both of them speaking many dialects of Cantonese and Mandarin.

“She was visiting from another country and spoke a version of Chinese, but we had no idea what it was,” said Fang, who was born in a small rural village in China.

“We were using the interpretation tool to try and figure out which dialect it was. My partner and I are both of Chinese descent; I can speak three different dialects of Cantonese and he can speak a little bit of Mandarin and several different dialects of Cantonese.

“We went through the spectrum of what we knew to try and figure out what this lady was saying, but we didn’t know.”

The paramedics put the lady on speakerphone with the interpreter, just as her grandson, who had been out looking for her, appeared.

Richmond paramedic James Fang is one of the stars of a new reality TV show, with one episode focusing on communication challenges in the city.

“We were on scene for about half an hour,” Fang explained to the Richmond News.

“The family member said she was lost, she didn’t know the area. She had been standing at that intersection for more than two hours.

“It’s not just about medical help, it’s about being able to relate and communicate with everybody.”

Fang said there are many language barriers prevalent in Richmond, but “it’s not just Chinese, there are so many languages spoken here.”

Case in point, in the same episode, Fang and Leung are dispatched to a Sikh temple at the eastern end of Westminster Highway, where an elderly woman has collapsed in the kitchen.

The pair can be seen having difficulty trying to ask questions in English about the patient through another woman, until her son arrives to interpret.

“Language (is) one of the larger (challenges), but we hone in on body language and facial expressions,” added Fang.

“We can figure out a lot of things

“We use (the translation service) all the time; so many languages being spoken in Richmond, it’s quite invaluable.

“But every day is entirely different, there are never two days the same. Some days, you don’t speak English at all and some days only English.”

The series has been two years in the making and focuses frequently on Richmond, which attracted more than 14,000 9-1-1 calls in 2018, the eighth busiest city in the province.

In another scene, Fang and Leung transport a woman to Richmond Hospital because she complained of chest pain at work, after watching a co-worker flirting with her husband.

And the pair came to the rescue of a pregnant lady, of Filipina descent, who was bleeding and fearing for her unborn child.

“My episode is about language barriers and building connections with the patients,” said Fang.

“Even if there’s no medical emergency, we’re still looking after them.”

Fang said, although the crew followed him around for about two weeks, he started forgetting they were there.

“I actually quite enjoyed it, it was quite exciting. But I was so focused on the patient’s care,” he said.

The series also follows two other Richmond paramedics, Rob Whincup and his colleague Kelly Sinclair.

Episode four of the show is set to air on Tuesday, April 23 on the Knowledge Network.

SPRING INTO A NEW SMILE! NEW PATIENTS AND WALK-INS WELCOME

DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Five students from The Richmond Academy of Dance have stood out among hundreds of competitors in regional arts festivals and were selected to compete in the annual Provincial Festival hosted by Performing Arts BC in May in Chilliwack.

Each year, every regional festival sends the best-performing young artist in each category, between the ages of 10 and 28, to participate in the five-day Provincial Festival, which encompasses master classes, lectures, coaching, workshops, technique classes and adjudications.

“There are not any other schools in the entire Lower Mainland that have representatives in this varying amount of disciplines.”

Two sisters from McMath secondary, Omer Murad, 13, and Lyrie Murad, 16, took first place at the Coquitlam District Music Festival and will compete in the Provincial Festival in the classical vocal and music theatre categories.

Hailey Chan, a Grade 7 student at Tomekichi Homma elementary, and Ameia Mikula-Noble excelled in the Pacific West Festival and will compete in the provincial competition in the ballet category.

“It’s a really big honour,” said Mikula-No-

ble. “When you are little, there are so many people competing; when you get older, many people quit, but the people who stay are really good. The competition is so difficult.

“It’s so satisfying and nice to know that you are actually good. All your hard work has been paying off.”

The young artists, who practise singing or dancing at least 20 hours per week, said the competition is a good way to evaluate their ability, but winning is not the only goal.

“Sometimes it feels like a lot of pressure, but healthy competition is also there...There is a certain sense of yourself when taking part in a large category in a competition,” said Zimmerman.

“When I was younger, it was kind of like, I had to win, that was the only way. But now I get up on the stage and think, ‘that was really fun.’ That’s all that matters.

“You don’t win all the time, if you don’t win a place, it doesn’t matter, as long as you felt good about the way your dance went or your song went.”

The Richmond Academy of Dance, founded in 1987, offers a wide range of courses in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, contemporary music, musical theatre and voice acting.

“We have a whole professional division... and we have a general division for young people who want to learn for the love of arts, but who don’t necessarily want to do it professionally,” said Joosten-Fair.

Co-founder Annette Jakubowski added, “Our goal is to provide enough professional training so that the students can go into this field professionally.

“It was our dream to start a school, to start programs so that dancers can stay home in Richmond and receive qualified training.”

EAT&DRINK

Welcome to Eat&Drink, a new feature that will run in the Richmond News on the second Thursday of every month. Richmond is home to some of the Lower Mainland’s best Asian cuisine, craft breweries, dessert cafes, fish houses and more. We aim to celebrate them all. In fact, our page runneth over with stories, so look online for a second helping of Eat&Drink articles. Bon appetit!

All foodie roads lead to Alexandra

The epicentre of great Asian cuisine draws from around the Lower Mainland Taiwan Taipei Original Pot manager Eric Lee. Megan Devlin photo

As twilight turns to evening on Richmond’s Alexandra Road, the grey cement plazas start to glow, their neon signs advertising a cornucopia of food on offer.

“Even though Canada is my home, we miss the food culture from Taiwan,” Lee said, explaining why he opened the restaurant with his brother in 2014.

Chatter buzzes inside the restaurants and delicious aromas leak out onto the street.

This lively strip is one of Richmond’s culinary gems, known for its convenience, quality of food and the sheer density of restaurants.

No less than 44 restaurants hold business licenses on this street between No. 3 and Garden City roads. If you include all the eateries accessible from Alexandra but with different street addresses (like the cluster near No. 3 Road) the number in this three-block stretch rises to 75, according to Tourism Richmond.

“It gets really busy at night,” said Eric Lee, manager of Taiwan Taipei Original Pot. “Which is really different from how I grew up 20 years ago. Alexandra Road wasn’t really that popular. But it’s played out to become one of the main foodie streets.”

A 1978 aerial photo from the Richmond Archives shows only a couple of the currentday plazas, and grass that’s given way to izakayas, hot pot joints, noodle houses and dessert shops.

Sliceand-Serve Desserts 850 g

Choose from 7 varieties ALL PRICES IN EFFECT THURSDAY, APRIL 11 TO WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2019 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

Lee thinks the density of restaurants on the street might have to do with business owners seeing a few booming restaurants and wanting in on the action.

“I think it’s just Chinese people like to clump together, you know? … We see a lineup in the next plaza, and we say OK, what if we opened a restaurant here? Hopefully we can attract some crowds too.”

On a Friday night at Lee’s restaurant, tables are filled with groups of friends, couples and adult children with their parents.

Many order the signature dish, a steel pot filled with chicken and vegetables that sizzles while it’s kept warm atop the table’s individual hot plate. The space is clean and modern, with two red flourishes decorating the white tiles above the bar.

“A lot of places that we’ve been that serve Taiwanese food (here) were still missing some touch. The mom flavour. The mom factor.”

Alexandra Road is an area enjoyed by university students, who make a night of getting dinner, grabbing dessert and then singing at the local karaoke spot.

It’s a market Nelson Ou, owner of Strike restaurant, targets with his late-night happy hour specials—for the crowd that eats until he closes at 2 a.m.

“Richmond’s night life is not interesting,” Ou said. “But night restaurants! With eating places, you still have lots of choice.”

Jessie Lin, eating at Strike with her family, said she used to come here all the time when she was studying at UBC because it’s open late.

“In Asia, we have, like, food stands very close to each other. So this is like that atmosphere,” she said.

Critics are taking notice of Alexandra Road too, praising both new and old establishments. In the 11 years the Metro Vancouver Chinese Restaurant Awards have been running, no single street has been more recognized. Alexandra restaurants have picked up more than 30 awards and even more nominations.

Deer Garden consistently wins Best Hong Kong-style Café, and Sun Sui Wah has received many nods for its dim sum, crab dishes and hot pot.

The Fish Man, which opened this year, won a Critic’s Choice award for its spicy clams.

Xiaolongkan, another new addition, was also nominated for best new restaurant of the year. Also check out the award-winning wontons at Max Noodle House.

For dessert you can grab Bingsoo, a Korean-style shaved ice treat, from Icy Bar or Snowy Village, or try tofu pudding with taro balls at iTofu.

Try to take the Canada Line though—restaurant owners say parking can be a challenge.

Asian dining fest returns to Richmond Foodies will be served a second helping of the culinary celebration, FEAST mand, and will focus on Richmond restaurants only.

Daisy Xiong DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“That is really to allow us to focus geographically on the ground zero for Asian food in Metro Vancouver and throughout North America — Richmond,” said Wong.

A month-long dining festival highlighting Asian food in Richmond will return to the city this fall.

“And the expanded time period gives people more opportunities to try the vast number of restaurants...it also gives time to people outside of the Lower Mainland to plan to come to Richmond and enjoy the food.”

Feast: Asian Dining Festival, launched by the Richmond News and Hamazaki Wong Marketing Group, had around 25 restaurants participate last year.

This year from Oct. 18 to Nov. 18, an estimated 50 Asian restaurants in Richmond will provide special “feast” menus with a number of signature dishes at a set price starting from $19 per person.

“This is a celebration of one of our cultural jewels,” said Sonny Wong, creative director at Hamazaki Wong Marketing Group.

“One of the cultural assets we have here in Richmond is the best Asian food in North America. I don’t think we, in our backyard, know enough about that.”

He said food lovers participating in the festival would not need to ponder what food to order anymore, but can instead choose a set menu with at least one signature dish recommended by the restaurant operators.

To raise awareness about restaurants participating in the still young festival, this year the festival will work with local celebrities who are interested in food to develop a FEAST ambassador program, according to Chow.

Alvin Chow (left), publisher of the Richmond News, and Sonny Wong, creative director at Hamazaki Wong Marketing Group, work together to present the Feast Asian Dining Festival from Oct. 18 to Nov. 18. Daisy Xiong photo “Some restaurants participating last year told us, because of their participation in the Feast, they were able to attract many people outside of the community, people who don’t usually frequent the restaurants,” Wong added.

Alvin Chow, publisher of the Richmond News, said they hope the festival will educate the public about different kinds of

Asian food in the city.

“People tend to go to the same restaurants they like, but the festival will give them an opportunity to open up horizons and try something different,” he said.

After a successful run last year, this year’s festival has expanded from two weeks to one month, to meet the expected high de-

Restaurants that sign up before the end of June, will be given an “early bird” special as well as a chance to win round-trip flight tickets to Hong Kong.

“We are confident that we will continue to excel this year and create first class food experiences that welcome the world,” said Chow.

For more information or if you are interested in participating in the festival, visit AsianFeast.ca or contact Alex Ma at 604353-4093.

The matcha trend is continuing in Richmond and this time, it’s a Hawaii-based café that’s gearing up to open its first Canadian location.

Matcha Café Maiko gained popularity in Honolulu and has since opened other locations throughout the United States. The Richmond shop was originally scheduled to open in January, but is now expected to open sometime this spring at 8279 Saba Rd., near the Richmond Public Market.

The café is known for its matcha ice cream, shaved ice desserts and waffle cones that are made in-house.

For something even more decadent, the café’s new “Golden Shogun” dessert

comes with a “glimmering gold” foil on top of their signature matcha soft serve.

The café’s matcha comes from Harima Garden, which has been operating since the mid-1800s and is described as being “high quality” with “a great smell and outstanding taste.”

After a successful inaugural year in 2018, Steveston Ciders and Sours Fest is coming back this summer with tickets on sale this week.

On July 6, Ciders and Sours Fest attendees can sample more than 100 different beverages from nearly 30 vendors. For Grant Bryan, pub operator at O’Hare’s GastroPub, which runs the event, the festival is an opportunity to highlight the unique tastes and growing trend of craft sour beers and ciders.

“They don’t always sound particularly appealing when you first hear the word ‘sour’…but they can all have anything from citrus to coriander to intense, huge fruit flavours,” he said.

“It’s like trying spicy food for the first time. Give it a couple small tastes, allow your palate to adjust and you really start to appreciate and enjoy the style of beer.”

EXCLUSIVE DENIM FIT EVENT

Family-run diner says goodbye Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Another family-run restaurant in Richmond will serve its final dish to the public and close its doors.

Ricky’s Country Restaurant, at the north end of No. 3 Road near the Yaohan Centre, will say goodbye to its customers for the last time on Saturday, April 13.

Run by Ali Ramji and his family for just over 32 years, the popular old-style country diner used to be under the ABC Country brand, before it was bought out about five years ago by Ricky’s.

Although turning 65 this year, Ramji said the closure is nothing to do with retiring, nor with Richmond’s changing demographics, with Asian cuisine obviously being more popular.

“We’ve owned and operated this as a family since March 1987. In fact, we had been open for 32 years and one month yesterday,” Ramji told the Richmond News on Friday.

“There’s been a lot of development and

speculation around here, which has driven up the taxes and affecting smaller businesses, such as this one.

“Our customer base has been pretty steady over the years; it’s more that our costs have continued to rise so much.

“And then there are things such as Skip the Dishes and DoorDash. We are part of that as well, but there are some outlets that don’t even have a restaurant open to the public that are using those services; they don’t have the overheads we do.

Enjoy the show!

“I do turn 65 this year, but don’t even mention that word. I have two other locations still to run, in Cloverdale and Coquitlam.”

Ramji said he feels “bitter-sweet” about the closure and would prefer to remember all the great Richmond customers he has met over the decades.

“Good things come to an end, but it is time to move on, that’s life,” he said.

“This whole week has been very emotional, with customers saying goodbye. But it has been good for the family over the years.

“And I would love to say a big thank you to all the people in Richmond who have supported us in those years.”

American Movie Classics (AMC) has released a batch of teaser photos for season two of The Terror: Infamy, a historic anthology series starring Star Trek icon George Takei that was filmed in Richmond.

Filming took place at the Britannia Shipyards this winter, when the historic site was temporarily closed to be transformed to depict a 1940s Japanese internment camp near Los Angeles.

This week the network released a first look at the upcoming season.

Takei plays Nobuhiro Yamato, and is pictured holding firewood and wearing a toque and jacket. He worked as a consultant for the show, advising producers on how to depict the internment camp based on his own experience being imprisoned as a child after the outbreak of the Second World War. The season centres around bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese-American community, according to the show’s website. It premieres Aug. 12.

All-star games poised for hoops sched fixture The massive tournament features five 16team brackets (80 teams) and is played at five different San Diego area high schools.

Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It will be the first time the Ravens program has gone on such a trip.

It was a day to celebrate high school basketball in Richmond and hopefully will be a fixture on the schedule in the years to come.

They are coming off a fourth place finish in their debut at the BC 3A championships and have earned the No. 3 pre-season ranking for the 2019-20 campaign, thanks to a number of key returning players.

The inaugural Richmond All-Star Game took place on Saturday at MacNeill Secondary with a girls and boys doubleheader.

At the buzzer…

Both were competitive games that were secondary to kids having one more chance to play and walking off the floor with smiles on their faces.

Among the Grade 12s playing their final high school game on Saturday was MacNeill standout Usman Tung.

The guard went from not even being a Third Team All-Star in his Grade 11 year to winning the city MVP award, a Lower Mainland First Team All-Star and a Second Team Provincial All-Star.

The idea of a showcase Richmond game had been tossed around for the last few years. It finally became a reality when the MacNeill basketball program agreed to take it on.

Now there is the potential of continuing his career at the collegiate level.

All proceeds from the games went to the senior boys team’s trip to San Diego next season for the renowned Torrey Pines Holiday Classic.

“Myself and (Steveston-London head coach Mike Stoneburgh) were throwing the idea around as a fundraiser. Initially they were going to host it but I think doing the city playoffs (earlier) had taken its toll so we agreed to do it,” said MacNeill head coach Steward Siy. “We got the girls contacts and their response was immediate which is great to see.

“It’s a nice turnout today and hopefully something we can build on moving forward.”

graphical route to create East and West teams for the boys game.

The girls were a little trickier to determine thanks to city champion McMath and nearby Steveston-London and Hugh Boyd dominating the league this past season.

Siy added the all-star game is one of several basketball-related fundraising projects over the next few months to help cover the expenses to attend Holiday Classic next December.

The program also hosted an elementary camp over spring break.

“That’s something (co-coach) Peter (Thackwray) and I were talking about.

Just all his accomplishments this year. It’s unbelievable,” added Siy. “Just his consistency. He was our leading scorer, rebounder, assists or steals in at least one of those categories in all the games.

“He is not a gym rat but he works really hard in practice and is competitive.

“He realized we did have the potential and he wanted to see how far we and he could go.

“He is a great model for a lot of our kids.

He didn’t do any academy ball. He just goes to the park and goes to the gym.”

Early season lesson for young Wildcats ponent that didn’t look ready to play.

Mark Booth

McMath had a chance to cut into the deficit but lacked ball movement at critical times when in scoring range.

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“We are young and we are raw and to be perfectly honest we are not working very hard right now,” continued Charlton.

B.C. Secondary Schools Rugby Union’s Stadium Series provided an early season lesson for a young McMath Wildcats team.

“Today was a real disappointment and that’s the first time I have said that with any of the McMath teams.

“We performed the way we deserved to perform. They were a big team and we handled their size but we were error-ridden and we just kept giving them more and more opportunities. As a coach you want your teams to go out and perform.

The BCSSRU Series is an opportunity to face opponents outside of league play in venues around the province.

The Wildcats got off to a slow start and never could recover in a 41-14 loss to Courtenay’s GP Vanier Towhees on a rainy and blustery afternoon at the South Surrey Athletic Park.

It’s a season of transition for the McMath program after playing for the provincial tier two championship last season and finishing fourth a year earlier in the AA top tier.

“For the last two years we had a real core of players that have now graduated,” said McMath head coach Mike Charlton.

McMath Wildcats’ rugby coach says his players will need to work harder if they want to succeed this season. Mark Booth photo “Our team is very young. Half is Grade 11 and we even have a couple of Grade 10s in starting lineup.

“They are inexperienced and that’s why practices are so critical this year because they have a lot to learn so they can cope with game situations.”

Adding to the challenge is the Wildcats playing at the AAA level for the first time thanks to the school’s enrolment numbers of Grade 11-and-12 boys (256) just creeping past the tier allocation of 251 and higher.

Still, a return to the provincial championships is within reach thanks to the BCSSRU introducing tiers to the tournament in recent years to avoid lopsided matches in the early rounds.

But Charlton will need to see a much better work ethic and commitment moving forward.

The Towhees dominated the opening minutes against an op-

“There was a lot of panic and lot of being hypnotized by seeing the try line. There was looking for self-glorification and that’s not what McMath rugby is all about.”

Charlton added another challenge this season is having no one on the coaching staff at the school.

The former vice-principal has come back to the school to volunteer coach after being promoted to District Principal.

Remarkably, Charlton is closing in on 30 years of coaching in Richmond at a number of schools.

“Without a doubt that’s a big factor, he said.

“Not walking the hallways anymore and seeing the kids.

A great program usually has someone with a true passion in the building. Going on nothing but pure history can be hard.

“There are a number of challenges this season but ultimately the kids have got to work hard. If you want to be in provincials, you have to work for it.

“To meet our goal we need to start working together.”

The Wildcats will return to their Lower Mainland AAA League schedule Thursday when Argyle visits at 4 p.m.

OBITUARIES

MCLEOD, William Grant Bill passed away peacefully on March 29, 2019 at Courtyard Gardens, Richmond, BC, in his 96th year. Born in Winnipeg, he graduated from Gordon Bell High School in 1941.

During WWII, Bill served in the Air Force as a wireless operator on ships that patrolled and supplied remote BC coastal communities. It was during this service that he met Edith Keller of Vancouver. They married in 1946 and enjoyed 71 years of marriage until Edith’s passing in 2018.

After the War, Bill began his very successful Public Service Marketing career with Canadian National Railway and Canada Post based in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Mississauga, Ottawa and finally moved to Richmond BC in 1976. After retiring from the Public Service in 1978, Bill worked as General Manager of the Richmond Visitors and Convention Bureau from 1980-88. In the 1990’s he was President of the Clan MacLeod Society of Vancouver, was active on the Regent’s Gate Strata Council and with Mylora Senior Men’s Golf. Moving to Courtyard Gardens in 2013, Bill was known as the Conductor of their Christmas Train display and a Talent Show Star for his Stand Up Comedy routine.

Our dearest Lynda. We shared a special love and friendship that we will always cherish. You were filled with a kindness and loving warmth that made us all feel special. You were truly one of a kind. You are why we are who we are and we will forever be thankful for having had you in our lives. Your memory will always live on shining brightly continuing to guide us through all our days ahead.

Your loving family David (husband), sons Colby, Brandon and Hayden, parents Samuel and Evelyn, sister Vicki (Rick), nieces Jordan (Will) and Alexis, and dear friends. A Celebration of Lynda’s Life was held on March 30, 2019.

To Love and to be Loved You can shed tears that I am gone Or you can smile because I have lived You can close your eyes and pray that I will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that I have left you Your heart can be empty because you can’t see me Or you can be full of the love that we shared You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of the yesterday we had You can remember me and only that I am gone Or you can cherish my memory and let it live on You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what I would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on With all my love Lynda Richmond Funeral Home . . . . . . . .
