LETTERS $5M wasted Dear Editor, What a waste of taxpayer money to spend $5 million on a lawn bowling clubhouse. There are sports that don’t even have basic facilities like washrooms and drinking water.

I see my taxes going up and how this council spends money like drunken sailors.

We are going to remember the names of councillors who voted for the motion in the next election. Trust me, the 100-odd votes of rich folks who you get from the Lawn Bowling Club will be negated by the thousands appalled at how you spend our money.

Roadwork wearing Dear Editor, I reside on Andrews Road between No. 2 Road and Trites Road. For over a year, I have been using Trites Road to avoid the road construction on No. 2 Road.

The original signs indicated work would be completed last November, but I have tried to be mature about the delay. After all, we did have a lot of snow, and there are always unanticipated hiccups.

Now, however, road construction has started on Trites Road. I am finding it very hard not to take this personally.

Say ‘no’ to puppy mills

Don’t paint council with one brush Dear Editor,

There have been a few letters to the editor in recent weeks on which I feel a point of clarification needs to be made. The impression I received was that people believe Richmond city council is making unanimous decisions regarding various issues, be they money laundering, development or environmental action.

Our city’s council consists of nine members: one mayor and eight councillors. On any particular issue, such as accepting large cash payments at city hall (up to $10,000), we have a single vote. Five or more votes passes a bylaw or policy to be adopted. Without winning a majority vote, the issue dies on the floor.

For example, my proposal to restrict cash payments did not pass, so I subsequently voted for a $10,000 limit because it was better than the exist-

ing no–limit policy at the time and it had enough support to pass.

Dear Readers, This is Su and Marfa from Samuel Brighouse elementary school in Richmond.

We are writing this letter for readers to learn how puppy mills are cruel to puppies.

City council is not uniform.

I would strongly encourage residents who are concerned about a particular issue to find out what the voting record was on it.

Having an easily accessible voting record is something I am very passionate about because I believe I should be transparent and accountable for everything I vote — or don’t vote — for.

Fortunately, we were able to pass a resolution to have a council online voting record, which will be available in the coming months.

I simply ask residents to not paint all of council with the same brush, but to judge us based on our duly earned voting record.

RICHMOND

Instead, adopt pets from shelters like the SPCA (or Richmond Animal Protection Society RAPS.)

Puppy mills are places where people breed puppies and sell them. Did you know that puppies are kept in small cages with no room to run or play?

There are around 10,000 puppy mills in the U.S. and probably as many in Canada. Imagine that you were a puppy from a puppy mill, how would you feel?

Mother dogs are forced to keep making babies, so they can get really stressed. Mother dogs don’t get treated nicely and can die because of sickness, dirtiness and more.

So PLEASE stop puppy mills and make a difference. Every person can make a difference by:

Because of puppy mills, there is overpopulation and shelters have to kill puppies because they can’t take care of all puppy mills. People who own puppy mills only think about themselves.

Coun. Kelly Greene

for an expensive price. So please don’t buy dogs from puppy mills.

1) Only adopting your dogs from a shelter.

2) If you have a family member(s) that owns a puppy mill, tell them to stop.

3) Don’t buy a dog from websites like Craigslist.

LETTERS Bowling over bunnies Dear Editor,

Re: “New clubhouse slated for Richmond lawnbowlers,” online, May 28.

Our non-profit is trying to help the City of Richmond with pet and feral rabbit control. We’re finding little to no support from council, even though our work will prevent the ever-increasing property damage, not to mention the stress to the citizens faced with constant visions of sick, injured and dead adult and baby rabbits.

Yet, city council has voted to spend $5-million on a lawn bowling clubhouse that caters to very few citizens.

Making it even more ridiculous is the fact the club is in an area with a burgeoning population of burrowing rabbits who will ensure annual maintenance will cost in the thousands of dollars, in addition to the $5 million, because council was too short-sighted to allot a fraction of that budget towards rabbit control.

Also, a reminder that the dilapidated city animal shelter is still waiting for a replacement. It would cost not much more than that $5million figure, and it serves the entire community.

Head tax jab goes too far Dear Editor, Re: “Council rejects empty home tax,” News, May 23.

Recently, Richmond city council chose not to levy an empty-homes tax in our city. While several of the council members gave their reasons they did not support it, the reason Alexa Loo gave simply went too far.

In an article in the Richmond News, Loo raises the specter of racism by questioning whether or not an empty-homes tax would be a “new head tax,” no doubt referring to the shameful tax applied to Chinese immigrants during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Brief reflection on this comparison reveals its flaw: the Chinese immigrants of 100 years ago were taxed for living here — the empty-homes tax is levied on people for not living here, regardless of their ethnic origin.

The tax does not target a par-

ticular ethnicity, but rather a category of owners that are taking advantage of the community’s scarce housing supply while it is in the grip of a severe affordability crisis. Among the people hit by this crisis are recently arrived Chinese immigrants: hard-working middle-class folks who will never be able to own a home under current conditions, and would be helped by an empty-homes tax rather than hurt by one. Instead, they are seeing an important Canadian value — that of social mobility — evaporate before they even have a chance to get a start here.

This attempt to paint affordability measures as being “racist” is a tired trope, and one I thought we were past. The people in this community deserve more sophisticated discourse to help us navigate the current crisis.

Beau Tanner RICHMOND

Investment in bowling club doesn’t add up Dear Editor, Re: “New clubhouse slated for Richmond lawnbowlers,” online, May 28.

I just read in the Richmond News that city council has voted to spend ($5.3) million to upgrade the Minoru Lawn Bowling facility. I was interested to see that the lawn bowling club currently has a membership of 250, which is expected to grow to 400 members in five years. (Editor’s note: The club president said there are currently 280 members, a city staff report says 250.)

Curious as to how much it costs to become a member there, I went to the Richmond Lawn Bowling Club website and saw that an annual membership is $180.

So, if 250 people are currently paying $180 a year, that is exactly $45,000 a year the facility brings in. I just don’t understand how that necessitates $5 million taxpayer dollars to upgrade the facility for a few hundred people? That’s like spending $20,000 on each of those members who pays $180 a year.

Unless I am missing something here, the return on investment doesn’t seem in line with other projects that the money could be spent on to benefit much more of the city’s population.

Police probing Drug lab busted in hit and run Richmond city centre Alyse Kotyk

Granville Avenue at Buswell Street was the scene of a drug bust on Tuesday.

Tanya Chipchase Wheatley photo

An RCMP drug enforcement team took down a clandestine laboratory in Richmond city centre on Tuesday afternoon.

Two lanes of the intersection of Granville Avenue and Buswell Street were sealed off in the early afternoon as officers from the RCMP Federal Serious and Organised Crime Unit (FSOC) executed a warrant at a residence close by.

Most of the police attention appeared to centre on a vehicle stopped at the traffic lights at the intersection and the adjacent apartment building.

As of Wednesday morning, the lab was still in the process of being dismantled.

(Wednesday) as the investigation continues.”

Shoihet said it was too early to say what kind of drugs were being manufactured in the lab and that the tests will “take some time.”

Although police say the lab is deemed to be stable and is not an immediate risk to the neighbouring units, several neighbours were evacuated “out of an abundance of caution,” said Shoihet.

According to the RCMP’s E Division spokesperson, Sgt. Janelle Shoihet, a clandestine laboratory was located inside the unit, with assistance from the RCMP Federal Clandestine Lab Enforcement and Response (CLEAR) Team.

Some neighbours posted on social media that there were injuries as a result of the takedown, but police have yet to confirm as such.

Around 8 a.m., Richmond Mounties were called to the area around Gilbert and Blundell roads following reports that a pedestrian was hit. The driver did not appear to help the pedestrian and the vehicle fled the scene.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious injuries. His wife, however, who was with him at the time, was not injured.

Police are now asking for information from the public and believe a dark-coloured sedan, or similar vehicle, may have been involved.

Since the crash, the investigation has been taken over by the Richmond RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team.

Anyone with information should contact Const. Z. Sharoom at the RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file #2019-16570.

EVEREST WARNING at Richmond-News.com

New clubhouse slated for Minoru Park expected to grow to 400 members in five years from its current 280 members, he added. (According to city staff there are 250 members.)

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

At the same meeting, council was looking at a report discussing the pressures faced

by Richmond non-profit groups because of rising rents and lack of space for their services.

The one-storey Richmond Lawn Bowling Clubhouse will be rebuilt in Minoru Park to the tune of $5.3 million, despite some councillors arguing the building should include housing for vulnerable seniors or room for non-profits.

Several people spoke about the possibility of using “airspace” above a new lawn bowling club.

While some councillors and members of the public opposed building a single-purpose facility for a club that has only 280 members, Mayor Malcolm Brodie questioned why some were arguing for building taller buildings in a park when they opposed building large buildings on agricultural land.

“It’s one thing to say across here on No. 3 Road, you want multi-floors, but to say that for a park, I don’t understand that,” he said, adding “Aren’t we going to end up with just a bunch of residences in the park?”

Council approved the funding after a 5-4 vote, with Couns. Kelly Greene, Harold Steves, Carol Day and Michael Wolfe voting against the plan.

Kion Wong, president of the Richmond Lawn Bowling Club, told council on Monday that club members need to “pray for

Niti Sharma spoke to council about building a two- to three-storey building and allowing the club to be the primary user on the ground level, but giving the additional floors to non-profits.

Lawnbowlers in Minoru Park were thrilled to hear their clubhouse would be rebuilt. Maria Rantanen photo good weather” because there isn’t room inside the clubhouse during events.

He added the current capacity of the building (1,920 square feet) isn’t sufficient — the kitchen facilities are too small and there aren’t enough lockers nor storage space, as the clubhouse was built for 75 people in 1968.

“It was designed for bowling 50 years ago

— that’s half a century ago,” Wong pointed out. He said the club would be “happy” to accommodate other community needs, as long as they remain the “primary user.”

The new clubhouse will be 4,900-squarefeet.

“Lawn bowling is a sport for all and for life,” he told council. Some club members are in their 80s and 90s, and the club is

“As the city gets densified, land is the most limited and precious resource and many non-profits in this city are struggling to find spaces to function,” Sharma said.

Regardless, the majority of councillors voted in favour of the one-story, single-purpose clubhouse.

In December 2017, council approved $4 million for the replacement, but last week a budget increase of $1.3 million was requested to build the 4,900-square-foot building. The club will contribute $90,000 to the construction project.

Richmond-Queensborough MLA Jas Johal has apologized in the legislature for telling an NDP MLA that she represents Surrey-Panorama and not “Islamabad North.”

The comment was made two weeks ago in the provincial legislature, and while Johal said it wasn’t “unparliamentary,” he wanted to be sensitive to the Pakistani community.

He met with a group of six Pakistani groups in Surrey after and explained to them why he made the comment.

He told the Richmond News he is very sensitive to Islamophobia, having worked as a journalist in Pakistan and many Middle

He said his remark was meant to be geographical, not cultural.

His remarks were made to Jinny Sims, the NDP MLA for Surrey-Panorama, who has been under fire over letters of support she wrote

In the May 16 debate, Sims talked about representing her constituents in response to comments about the allegations. Johal said he then responded to her with the “throwaway” comment about representing her riding and not a foreign one.

“In the cut and thrust of Westminster parliamentary democracy, it gets confrontational — it’s the nature of what we do,” Johal said.

On Monday, he withdrew the comment and apologized in the legislature.

Johal said the context of the debate includes “very serious allegations” against Sims, and the BC Liberals have been aggressively questioning her on them.

Non-profits risk homelessness

Richmond city council heard from service agencies this week about how hard it is to find space Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The search for space has been on for a year and a half — but with Richmond rents at exorbitant rates, a planned youth mental health and addictions hub is struggling to open its doors.

Foundry Richmond, funded largely by the provincial Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions, will be a one-stop walk-in centre where youth who are struggling to cope can get help fast from a variety of service providers — health care, mental health, addictions, employment services, to name a few.

But finding a suitable shopfront location that is also affordable is proving to be a challenge for Richmond Addictions Services Society (RASS), the lead agency setting up the hub.

“It’s an expensive city and space is at a premium,” said Rick Dubras, executive director with RASS. This problem isn’t unique to RASS — other non-profits are scrambling as their service needs grow but rents get more expensive.

Some non-profits have a demolition clause

built into their lease, which means if the owner decides to pull down their building, the lease can be broken. New space is expensive and hard to find.

“It’s a huge issue and increasingly hard for non-profits to find affordable, accessible, sustainable space in the city centre,” said Janice Barr, executive director with Richmond Society for Community Living (RSCL).

RSCL just lost one space it was using in the city centre for three programs. While two programs have been relocated to Ironwood, they are still looking for a place for the third. The rent at the Ironwood location will be 10 per cent higher, but there are other costs like moving and furnishing the space, which is just a shell at the moment.

One-third non-profits at risk Thirty-five per cent of local non-profits said they are experiencing “uncertainty” in their current rental situations, according to a recent survey of space needs in Richmond. The study by Richmond Community Services Advisory Committee surveyed 39 non-profits.

Average rents were about $18 per square foot, and this was considered reasonable. But nine of the agencies said they would need more space over the next 10 years totalling about 36,000 square feet.

Rick Dubras, with RASS, points out that development in the city centre is putting a squeeze on non-profits looking for space. Maria Rantanen photo Dubras said the facilities they’ve been looking at have rents around $35 per square foot, but new buildings can charge up to $60 per square foot. They were recently outbid when they made an offer on a location on No. 3 Road — they’ve looked elsewhere as well including Ironwood and the Cambie area.

The space report was before Richmond council on Monday evening, and they passed two motions related to it: to develop a database of the space needs of non-profits and to ask staff to look at ways to increase the supply of affordable space for non-profits.

Property tax relief sought Barr said the city has tools it could use to alleviate the squeeze being felt by non-profits in

Richmond, for example, relief from property taxes, something that those renting commercial space pay on top of rent.

Richmond Centre for Disability recently relocated to Lansdowne Mall after 33 years in its previous location across the street, now slated for redevelopment. RCD, however, was able to work out a deal with the developer.

At Monday’s meeting, Coun. Bill McNulty said council needs to look at space needs of non-profits during the planning stage, pointing to the example of RCD whereby the developer moved them into Lansdowne and will allow them back to a new building at their old location when it’s developed.

“That’s the kind of action we need,” he said.

COMMUNITY COMMENT Dear Constituents:

Youth hub will offer one-stop support for youth who have chronic and persisent mental health and addictions health problems that are affecting their ability to function, go to school or maintain personal relationships.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A youth hub, Foundry Richmond, is coming to Richmond — as soon as the right space in the right location is found.

Rick Dubras, executive director with Richmond Addictions Services Society, said Foundry Richmond needs a 7,000 to12,000 square foot site with space for groups and individual counselling, a demonstration kitchen and an open, accessible waiting room.

“We want to create something that is very special for young people in Richmond,” Dubras said, adding, “it’s all about the right size, right location, right services at the right time — that’s what we’re trying to create.”

While there are youth services in Richmond, they are spotted around the community, said Dubras. Foundry Richmond will be a walk-in counselling model, so anyone between the ages of 12 and 24 can come in off the street and get immediate help.

“For young people, the window of opportunity (to get help) can be very narrow,” Dubras said.

Services are currently in place in Richmond

The gap in services tends to be when issues are considered “mild to moderate,” for example, test anxiety, a relationship breakup, trouble at home or a sexual health issue.

These youth may not have a mental-health diagnosis, but may have symptoms that could get worse.

Foundry Richmond will have staff from RASS, from child and youth mental health services, a doctor, a nurse-practitioner, employment services as well as other social services.

“The idea is we’re going to co-locate and integrate services across the city in one location,” Dubras said, adding that it will be set up so “young people and their parents can come to one location and access services that day with a walk-in counselling model.”

RASS was announced as the lead agency for Foundry Richmond in September 2017, and the operational budget is pegged at $500,000 per year, funded by the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions.

Like many non-profits, they’ve struggled to find affordable space in Richmond.

It was started as a Block Watch group to improve the security of the community and has now grown into a family support system with more than 80 volunteers serving around 1,500 people.

• Crime prevention & public security Strong communities play a major role in crime prevention. Richmond RCMP has recognized the association for successfully mobilizing the community to be a Block Watch neighbourhood. Thanks to the volunteer patrol team who watched out for neighbours and reported suspicious activities, the number of break-ins in the area has dropped.

• Neighbourhood assistance “Our theme is love your neighbour as yourself,” said David Zhao, founder of BNA. As the association evolves, its mission has expanded beyond crime prevention to include a telephone hotline for residents to help each other - from caring for the elderly to picking up neighbours’ kids from school.

As the saying goes, better a neighbour nearby than a brother far away.

• Community engagement Richmond is one of the most ethnically diverse communities in Canada with immigrants of different backgrounds.

As more and more people joined the association, it has become a gathering place for families from different cultures to engage with each other.

Eligibility for seniors discount ages in June Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

In just over a month’s time, the seniors discount age at cityrun facilities is about to rise significantly, from 55 to 65.

Tommy Wong, who died in March, age 101. File photo

After July 1, only residents aged 65 and up will qualify for the 20 per cent to 40 per cent discount.

Revenue from the increased fees will be directed towards low-income families to ensure more residents of all ages (children, youth, adult and seniors) who experience financial hardship that prevents their participation in recreation and cultural opportunities will be able to apply for financial assistance.

The move – which will create funds for an updated recreation fee subsidy program (RFSP) – first surfaced in 2017.

But the city decided to delay moving the age of the seniors discount to give residents more time to adjust and to sign up for programs, while the current age limit still applied.

Not surprisingly, the age limit increase didn’t go down too well with some residents, including 62-year-old Robyn McTague, who noticed the sign at the City Centre Community Centre this week. “(This is) very upsetting. I am about to turn 63 and live up the street from (the Minoru Centre for Active Living) and was looking forward to using the place,” said McTague in an email to the Richmond News. “(It’s) now a no-go for certain things. What bothers me the most is the people (whose ages are) caught in between…

“Why aren’t they being grandfathered? Why didn’t they choose a midpoint like 60?”

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said the date for changing the criteria was chosen because it gives the “best chance for seniors affected to consider options for their passes.

“Implementing in the fall would mean communicating in the summer, a time when vacations make it more challenging to

City of Richmond

Residents will soon have to be 65 and up to get seniors discounts at city-run facilities. File photo communicate the change.”

Seniors programs, said Townsend, will continue to be open to those aged 55 and over, but regular adult rates will apply.

Celebration of life for RCAF vet Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“On July 1, the age of eligibility for senior’s pricing will change for drop-in admissions, 10-visit passes and annual pass purchases,” added Townsend.

A celebration of life is being held next month for one of Richmond’s most celebrated war veterans, Tommy Wong, who died in March, age 101.

“On July 23, pricing for most 55+ programs will reflect the new age of eligibility for seniors pricing, with many programs having a senior and adult rate. This coincides with the launch of registration for fall programs.”

The event will be held Saturday, June 15 at 2 p.m. at the new Minoru Centre for Active Living on Granville Avenue.

The age of seniors pricing, explained Townsend, is changing in order to “bring Richmond’s pricing policy in line with other Lower Mainland municipalities and to be consistent with most government provided seniors services and benefits that begin at the age of 65. As well, seniors in Richmond are living longer and the number of adults 55+ living in Richmond continues to grow.

“By changing the age of pricing for seniors programming, we are better able to support healthy and active aging by ensuring resources are in place to support programs and services.”

Wong, who was the first person of Chinese-Canadian ethnicity in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), passed away March 10 at Richmond Hospital.

At the time, his close friend and fellow RCAF veteran, George Ing, said Canadian-born Wong was a quiet, intelligent and private man, but who also had a “zest for life.”

“He was very, very proud of his military service,” said Ing, a member along with Wong of the Chinese-Canadian veteran group Pacific Unit 280.

In 2017, Wong was one of five Chinese-Canadian veterans granted “The Glory of Chinese” award by the Canadian Community Service Association (CCSA).

Artist starts local green conversation Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It doesn’t get much more grassroots than hosting a town hall meeting in your kitchen.

That’s exactly what Steveston artist and writer Erika Koenig-Workman did last week, when she organized her own Green New Deal (GND) event and invited relative strangers into her home for soup.

Koenig-Workman posted on Twitter about her town hall, with similar events happening across the Western world on the back of a U.S. Democratic-led stimulus package that aims to address a global climate and economic crisis.

And although she knew a few of the eight people who showed up armed with pizza and salad, she recognized that someone has to get it started.

“It went really well. We only had nine people, but it’s a start,” said KoenigWorkman, who was following the GND facilitation guide for making people aware by hosting a town hall.

Lafarge Canada’s Richmond Cement Plant has launched a new lower carbon fuel system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its cement production.

Lafarge has been building this “small plant within a plant,” a series of several machines, over the past year at its cement manufacturing facility on Westminster Highway and No. 9 Road, explained plant manager Pascal Bouchard.

2,000 degrees Celsius to fuel their cement kiln.

“There’s always some leftovers they can’t do anything with,” Bouchard explained to the Richmond News.

“We’re a solution for what recyclers can’t recycle.”

This includes wood waste, nylons pieces from recycled tires, the unrecyclable parts of old mattresses and plastic that can’t be made into new products.

Lafarge’s new fuel handling and delivery system is expected to replace up to 50 per cent of the plant’s fossil fuel use with lower carbon fuels.

Traditionally, cement manufacturers, of which there are 13 in Canada, use fossil fuels to heat their kilns, for example, natural gas, coal or petcoke, Bouchard said.

The initiative aims to make the facility the most carbonefficient cement plant in Canada, according to the cement company.

It will also help minimize landfill waste, specifically, non-recyclable plastics, diverting about 100,000 tonnes of waste from local landfills per year, the equivalent of about 8,300 loaded garbage trucks.

To operate the new carbonefficient system, Lafarge works with recyclers and takes anything they cannot repurpose and burns it at

Koenig-Workman said that “a lot of people are interested in this” and that she felt compelled to act as “this is a crisis and many people are realizing it’s now an emergency.

Recycling audited

Should pizza boxes go in the compost or cardboard recycling? Do milk cartons belong in the blue box? Is it necessary to wash out all recyclables?

Through a new eight-week program, the City of Richmond is hoping to answer these questions and more, all to help Richmondites learn to recycle correctly.

“We all share the responsibility of reducing our waste, keeping recyclable materials out of the landfill and making sure the items we do recycle can be accepted at processing facilities,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie

As part of the program launching this week, city staff will conduct random, visual audits of residential recycling and garbage. These audits will include a report card given to residents with tips for areas of improvement. In addition, the report card will have ideas on recycling.

According to the city, some of the most common recyclable items found in the garbage are food scraps, electronics, plastic bags, flexible packaging and Styrofoam.

These random audits will take place over the next eight weeks and in the fall. Residents who are recycling correctly will receive a Richmond Recycling Expert Gold Star and two free passes to the city’s recreational facilities.

Habitat families move into their new homes Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Five deserving families in Richmond were given the keys last week to homes they could only dream of in the past.

Thanks to the incredible work of Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver (HFHGV) the families moved in last week to their new homes on Ash Street.

The homes — built by hundreds of corporate and independent volunteers from the community, including the family members themselves, and backed by dozens of sponsors — are now an affordable place for the families to finally call home.

At last week’s ceremony, each partner family was presented with a key to their new abode.

Through HFHGV’s homeownership model, the families are required to volunteer 500 hours of “sweat equity” as their commitment to Habitat.

In doing so, their monthly housing costs are capped at up to 30 per cent of their monthly family income, with the majority of these funds being held for the family in a savings account.

The funds can then be put towards a downpayment, once the family is ready to begin their transition into the regular housing market.

Sweet Matti is looking for a home to be the queen of her castle. She’s willing to share it with loving subjects, aka her human friends, but will not tolerate other animals. She’s quite affectionate and will purr your ear off! She loves getting attention and being the centre of it all. Come visit Matti at the Richmond BC SPCA today!

The five, single-family homes in Richmond took several years of planning and rezoning applications, following the initial approval by the City of Richmond in July 2015, with the project breaking ground in May 2017.

“It’s been a huge labour of love for the entire Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver family, our donors, the Richmond community, and the many volunteers that played a part in, quite literally, constructing the walls of these five homes,” said Dennis Coutts, CEO of HFHGV.

Among the five families that moved into their new homes last week were Gumatchu Taha, his wife, Dureti Mohamed, and their three young children, who now live in their modest property. The couple were immigrants to Canada from Ethiopia.

Other families included single mom Kelly Raines and her 16-year old son, Eden, who had been in search of a safe and stable home for many years following a renoviction.

Last week also saw the five-strong Rai family move in after a turbulent period where they had 11 relocations since 2000.

“Not only are the families getting a safe, decent place to call home; they’re also learning how to take control of their finances so that one day, they can fully transition into the traditional housing market without our support,” added Coutts.

While most may rely on their cellphone’s calculator to solve simple math problems, hundreds of students descended on Richmond last weekend to showcase their prowess in a fading art: mental math.

Proudly Serving Richmond - 30 years!

Canada’s #1 Plan

On May 25, the sixth B.C. provincial Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS) Abacus and Mental Math Competition took place at Westwind elementary in Richmond.

for Employee Benefits

Throughout the day, 350 Lower Mainland students participated in a variety of competitions, solving complex math problems without the help of any tools like a calculator or scrap paper.

The event brought together participants aged four to 13 who took part in competitions such as an eight-minute challenge where they were required to solve 150 to 200 math questions. In other challenges, participants were allowed to use an abacus.

See why 30,000 business owners selected this plan!

The competitions were part of UCMAS’ 10-level program and this year, 14 students are graduating from the program in Richmond.

“They learn the ability to do mental math through the program and they use the abacus to learn visualization,” said Krishna Kumar, director of the UCMAS program in Richmond.

chamberplan.ca iglfin@shawcable.com • 1-888-818-2942 • 604-607-7353

“So basically what these children are being trained (in) and learn is to visualize numbers in their brain and do the mental math quickly.”

All 14 of Richmond’s graduates have achieved the baccalaureate designation, which is the highest level of mental math proficiency possible in North America.

One recent graduate, Rishikesh Upath, was the first to pass with “distinction” in all of North America, which means he got 100 per cent of the questions correct in his final exam.

“It’s a long journey, level one to 10…to get through, it’s kind of a big achievement actually to not lose the hope because the complexity and the levels increase as you go through,” said Charuta Upath, Rishikesh’s mother, adding that she was excited that her son graduated with such high honours.

“When they say ‘distinction’ it means no mistakes…so that’s pretty good.”

UCMAS was first established in 1993 in Malaysia.

The Canadian national competitions are the largest math competitions of their kind in North America with more than 5,500 students participating.

What’s new in Wills Variation?

Introduction Thanks in no small part to the tremendous rise in real estate values in the lower mainland over the last 20 years, the numbers of cases where someone seeks to vary a Will has increased. Anyone in the lower mainland who passes away leaving a home and perhaps a modest amount in a Bank account, for example, leaves a large Estate. In my view, thirty years ago, a typical house and say $100,000 in the Bank did not amount to an Estate worth more than half a million dollars. Today, that same house and money in the Bank are likely worth closer to $1 million, if not more (depending where the home is located). Therefore, if a child (or a spouse) is left a smaller proportion of an Estate than another child, the difference in dollar terms is a lot more, hence the higher probability of a dispute over the Will.

How important are relationships – let me count the ways!

To be sure, many of these disputes settle without a Trial. It is common to

COMMUNITY NOTICE Annual Vegetation Management Program CN is required to clear its rights-of-way from any vegetation that may pose a safety hazard. Vegetation on railway rights-of-way, if left uncontrolled, can contribute to trackside fires and impair proper inspection of track infrastructure.

As such, for safe railway operations, the annual vegetation control program will be carried out on CN rail lines in the province of British Columbia. A certified applicator will be applying herbicides on and around the railway tracks (mainly the graveled area/ballast).

All product requirements for setbacks in the vicinity of dwellings, aquatic environments and municipal water supplies will be met.

Having received confirmation of CN’s PMP, we expect that the program will take place from June 1, 2019 to September 15, 2019.

Richmond Hospital’s operating rooms will have a new name to honour a massive donation made by a local family.

Soon to be called the Greczmiel Family Surgical Centre, Richmond Hospital’s operating rooms will be named for the family that recently gave $5 million towards the hospital’s new acute care tower. Once the acute care tower is built, the name will move to the new pavilion’s surgical centre.

“Our sincere thanks to the Greczmiel family. Their philanthropic leadership will help enable our vision for a ‘future-ready’ innovative multi-purpose surgical centre that will serve our growing and aging population for decades to come,” said Dr. Dan Kopac, head of surgery for Richmond Hospital.

“Their generous contribution will help us attract and retain future generations of talented surgeons whose expertise will build on the high-calibre...care we already deliver.”

Gene Greczmiel was born in Richmond in 1929 to parents Eugene and Maria who immigrated to Canada from Europe. Through-

IDOL WINNER at Richmond-News.com

Ten idols dreaming of RichCity title Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The 16th annual RichCity Idol talent contest took centre stage at the Gateway Theatre on Wednesday evening.

Ten singing idols, chosen by teachers and students at each of Richmond’s 10 secondary schools, were set to compete in front of a panel of judges, before receiving votes from the 500-strong audience.

RichCity Idol was started in 2004 by Richmond high school students Natasha Jung and Martin Hui and following students have continued the tradition of organizing and hosting the event ever since.

“Each student council organizes its own idol contest and then they go through auditions, semifinals and finals etc.,” explained Steveston-London student Jesse Hsieh, lead producer of this year’s RichCity Idol.

“Some have the school teachers get involved, with a public vote at the end to choose the winner.”

There is no age limit on the contest, other than being at high school, but there is a distinct emphasis this year on youth, with some as young as Grade 8.

On Wednesday evening, the judges – songwriter/producer Troy Samson, pianist/composer/producer Trevor Hoffmann and YouTuber Jennifer Zhang – were set to choose the top five idols, before the audience joined in to pick the winner.

This year’s RichCity Idol finalists, chosen from each of Richmond’s 10 secondary schools, were hoping to win on Wednesday evening. Photo submitted

Legacy carnival aims to help others Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The Richmond Christian secondary’s Grad Legacy Club is hosting a carnival this Friday, titled “Under the Sea.” In aid of the school’s Benevolent Fund — established by the school to help anyone in the school’s community (staff, students, parents) who needs help — the event takes place Friday, May 31 from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The event will consist of various food vendors, bouncy castles, inflatable games, pony rides and more than 30 carnival game booths including a fishing booth, where attendees can win live goldfish.

In prior years, more than 1,000 people have attended the carnival, which is organized from start to finish by the school’s Grad Legacy Club, made up of Grade 12s.

“We started way back in November, with more than 100 volunteers running this, about 50 Grade 12s and 50 Grade 11s and some parents as well,” said club president Anthony Dy Ning.

“We’re hoping to raise at least $1,000, after costs are met.”

Throughout the year, the club fundraises for charities such as Mission Possible, based in Vancouver, and Ratanak International, an organization that empowers women and assists survivors of human trafficking and exploitation in Cambodia.

Also new for this year’s program is a narrower age range. Youth aged 15-19 are invited to apply, rather than in previous years when the program was open to youth up to age 25.

“This program is a very unique opportunity for young entrepreneurs of all levels to learn and

“I came into this program feeling nervous… but I managed to grasp and learn very quickly.”

Throughout the program, the young entrepreneurs will attend a series of workshops run by business professionals, covering topics such as how to create a business plan, marketing, budgeting and writing an elevator pitch.

Mentors and facilitators include S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Self-Employment Training for Young Entrepreneurs Program, Futurpreneur Canada, Launch Academy, Junior Achievement of British Columbia and the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

The Young Entrepreneurs Program runs from July 15 to 19. There is no cost to participate, but the program is limited to 15 youth.

In an era where so many youth sports are focused on year-round training to achieve excellence, summer swimming is almost the exact opposite. There is an emphasis on fun and camaraderie. Meets are more like weekend camping adventures with a “city” of tents set-up around the competition pools.

We have a lot of second and third generation of swimmers within the club. The Kigoos are kind of within the culture of Richmond.”

“You have to appreciate it as summer focus with swimming rather than the other way around. It’s tough for some families who are so used to (the intensity) of other sports. This is more about kids doing multiple sports,” continued Kennedy.

What also makes the club attractive is welcoming kids of all ages and abilities. Parents don’t need to worry about their child being an accomplished swimmer. There are no tryouts or even pressure to enter the weekend meets.

“The parents really buy in too. Often there is

“The question I get asked the most is ‘I heard about the Kigoos but my child isn’t very good.’

I always say we have a group for everybody.

“Encourage to compete is one of the values but it’s fun first. One of the goals is to build the confidence of the kids to participate in the meets but it’s not mandatory,” explained Obedkoff.

“I was never the best swimmer. I played a lot of sports that I was way better at. I was just so passionate about swimming. I’m so lucky to be able to continue on with swimming.”

This standout athlete has gone right from the field lacrosse season at Simon Fraser University to the box season with the Richmond Junior Roadrunners and filled the net. Jordan already has 22 goals in six games, surpassing his total for the 2018 season. He also scored as a call-up in the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League with the Delta Islanders. In the field version of the sport, he plays midfield for the Clan, having just wrapped up his sophomore campaign. The 2017 McMath graduate is also a standout rugby player who helped the Wildcats to their best-season even in his Grade 12 year.

The soaring popularity of ultimate in the city will now have its very own elementary school tournament.

The tournament committee has decided to prioritize the focus on integrity, typically called Spirit of the Game.

Mark Booth

The tournament will not culminate in a traditional championship game, instead students demonstrating exemplary Spirit in each round-robin match will be awarded a chance to participate in a mixed “Super Spirit” final, that will see these ‘top spirited’ athletes coming together and playing for the love of the game, and not the logo on their jersey.

DiscTricked 38 — The Ultimate Experience will take place June 5-6 and will include teams from six Richmond elementary schools — Thompson, Garden City, Grauer, Whiteside Diefenbaker and Errington.

There will be two hours of games from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on both days.

Ultimate is already thriving at the high school level. The Richmond Colts captured the B.C. Ultimate Invitational AAA Championship last weekend at Newton Athletic Park.

That came after RC Palmer earned the AA crown a year earlier.

Although many elementary schools have disc spots as part of their PE program, there was a distinct lack of organized ultimate at this age level until now thanks to a small group of dedicated teacher-leaders.

“Most of the teachers on this committee are or were players them-

Former Steveston-London star taking his hoop career to Utah A former Steveston-London Shark basketball star is taking his game to Utah Valley University.

He averaged 5.0 points and a team-best 5.3 rebounds while averaging 14.9 minutes per game.

Fardaws Aimaq has officially transferred to the Western Athletic Conference NCAA Division One school after spending this past season at Mercer University in Georgia. The 6-foot-11 standout has three seasons of eligibility remaining and will suit up for the Wolverines in the fall of 2020.

He shot 51.7 percent from the field and tallied 10-plus rebounds in three games last season, including a season-best 13 against Wofford. He also scored a season-high 14 points on 7-of-14 shooting against Georgia Southern.

“Fardaws Aimaq is a physically imposing player who can score on the block as well as the perimeter,” said Wolverines head coach Mark Madsen. “When I watched him play, the first thing that stood out was his timing and his ability to rebound outside of his area. Daws has soft hands and finishes well inside.

“He is a student athlete of great maturity. I am grateful to his parents Shahnaz and Faramarz Aimaq for raising such a fine young man and I am excited to welcome Daws to campus.”

As a freshman, Aimaq played in 29 games and earned five starts for Mercer last season.

In high school, Aimaq took the Sharks where they have never gone before — losing the 2016 AAA provincial championship in heartbreaking fashion to Southridge. He was spectacular in that game, scoring 40 points and adding 32 rebounds to secure First Team Tournament honours. In 2017, he was named Richmond League MVP. Following graduation, he spent a year at Bridgton Academy in Maine to play in one of the top prep leagues in the US, in preparation for the NCAA level.

The Wolverines play in the 8,500 seat UCCU Centre. They finished with a 25-10 record this past season — advancing to the second round of the NIT.

Colin was born in Otaki, New Zealand and emigrated to Canada in 1966 and shortly met the love of his life Joan Coulter. They were married on September 2, 1967 and then welcomed their only child, Trevor in June of 1969.

Colin was a pipe fitter by trade and worked on many projects in BC and Alberta. He was an avid biker, hiker and especially loved travelling with Trevor, far and wide in search for the perfect golf course!

When his relatives from New Zealand came to visit, he enjoyed taking them on many road trips around BC, Alberta and even to Disneyland!

Colin is survived by his wife of 51 years, Joan, son Trevor, his family members in New Zealand and numerous nieces and nephews in Canada.

There will be no service but donations to the Alzheimer’s Society would be greatly appreciated (www.alzheimer.ca) Colin’s family is very appreciative of the kind and compassionate care Delta View Care Home gave him and are still giving his wife Joan. We are so grateful for all the ways they kept Joan and Colin together during these last years.

SOCA, Oscar “Eduardo” It is with deepest of sorrow that we announce the death of our beloved father Oscar “Eduardo” Soca. Oscar died suddenly on May 25, 2019 at the age of 76. He was deeply, passionately, and completely loved by his many family members and friends.

He leaves behind his wife Leah, his sisters Miriam (Tico), and Silvia; three daughters Samara (Heiko), Cibele (Shawn), Geraldine and step-sons Bryan and Chris; six grandchildren he absolutely adored: Mattias, Sierra, Celine, Julian, Charlotte and Violet as well as several nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his sister Susana (Milton).

Oscar was born in Uruguay, South America. He came from a loving, close-knit family of SpanishItalian descent. He immigrated to Canada along with his first wife Brigitte in 1969 who was pregnant at the time. They settled in Richmond and had three daughters. He worked hard and entered the field of construction building homes and becoming skilled in his trade due to his work ethic and meticulous eye for detail. 15 years ago, Oscar became a grandfather and would have three talented grandchildren whom he adored, to bless his life. He met Leah later in life and they soon fell in love, and married. He became a step-father to her two sons and grandfather to three more beautiful grandchildren.

Oscar had many friends and loved to spend time with those he loved, especially his family. Wherever he was, laughter followed. Teasing, joking and good-natured nicknames were a guaranteed fixture of conversation. He loved to travel, to spend time in nature, listen to beautiful music, cook delicious homemade Italian meals and pursue his painting and photography. Nature held his heart and he would often walk outside amidst the trees, through gardens, or virtually anywhere and everywhere camera in hand hoping to catch sightings of birds and other creatures.

Though heartbroken, we are honoured to have had this wonderful man in our lives and we are grateful for every single moment he shared with us. A Celebration of Life will be held at Minoru Chapel in Richmond on Friday, May 31, 2019.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Service to begin at 7:00pm.

If desired, please make donations to BC Children’s Hospital or any children’s charity in Oscar’s name.
