How to save planet and feed families?

Eve Edmonds

EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Poor me…for the second summer in a row, I didn’t get to go where I thought I wanted to go for my vacation.

Last year, COVID had me nix a trip to Peru. This year, we thought we could at least go Kootenay Lake. But, no, the Interior was on fire. We thought we’d camp around Baker Lake. But, no, the border was still closed.

Instead, yet again, we had a fantastic trip closer to home. It was enough to make me wonder what the heck I was thinking in the first place, travelling around the world or even across the province.

Yes, I know, it’s great to visit distant lands, and I plan to do just that one day, but in the meantime — wow, we live in a beautiful part of the world. Gazing across the Strait of Georgia at the mainland mountains was a clear reminder why we moved to the West Coast all those years ago.

I’ve been to Vancouver Island numerous times, but never north of Courtney-Comox.

It’s quite a world up there. Rugged is the word that comes to mind — both the nature and the towns.

At the end of one hike around Telegraph Cove (just south of Port Hardy), we came to a rocky point where we sat for an hour watching sea lions, orcas and porpoises.

When a trio of dolphins (actually Dall’s porpoises, I was told) came leaping in unison just metres from where we were sitting, I couldn’t help but tear up. Granted, I’m a bit soft that way, but, really, to see that in the wild it’s hard to keep a dry eye.

We were fortunate to be sitting with a woman who had worked as a kayak guide. She knew, for example, that they were Dall’s porpoises, and a lot of other things about marine life, including the fact the resident population of orcas is declining due, in part, from sea lice from fish farms.

So, as lost in the woods as we were…actually, did I mention we really were lost in the woods at one point? Somehow we got

off the trail and became completely turned around in the dense forest. I’m talking, crawling over massive old-growth logs, some suspended three maybe four feet above the forest floor, dense. It was a little unnerving, but GPS came to the rescue.

But I digress…as lost in the woods as we were, cut off from the nightly newscast, politics still has a way of encroaching. That was certainly evident when we hit the highway, which was lined with election signs.

The Island is a curious place politically.

While Liberals and Conservatives jockey for position at the national level, in the southern part of the island the signs are all orange and green. In the north, the battle is between NDP and Conservative, with the NDP currently holding the seats.

At the town entrance of Port Alice there are historical photos of a once-thriving village showing a parade with big “Labor” floats. However, the only lawn sign I saw in town read, “Forestry feeds my family.”

Despite views of clear-cuts across the inlet and road signs warning of active log-

ging, we saw a total of three logging trucks in the two weeks we were there. (Thanks goodness, as my dad’s clunky little VW van would have been blown off the road.)

Clearly, a lot of these towns have seen better days. At the entrance to Alert Bay there are photos from the 1970s of hundreds fishing boats in the harbour. The blurb talks about wild times, with people dropping $1,000 in a night of partying.

Today, the wildest thing you’ll find is a fascinating cemetary full of totem poles.

Frankly, that works for me. I like totem poles. I also like knowing the seas aren’t being plundered and forests aren’t being mowed down the way they were in the “heyday.” (I imagine the orcas appreciate it as well.) But what about those families that need feeding?

And there’s the rub — how to create good paying jobs that don’t trash the environment. Because, yes, I want to see orcas, and, yes, I want to see families thrive.

It shouldn’t and doesn’t need to be one or the other.

LETTERS Ferrets could help with rats Dear Editor, Is there anyone else as fed up as I am with the growing rat problem in Richmond?

Submit letters at richmond-news/opinion/send-us-a-letter

Angry over scofflaws Dear Editor,

There has always been a rat problem here but recently it has increased dramatically!

I am a single senior with an autoimmune disease who can’t be vaccinated.

I am a keen gardener as a growing number of people are in Richmond. We are interested in helping the environment and growing healthy food. It is disheartening to see all your work on a garden eaten up by rats.

Since COVID began, I have followed every rule, allowed no one in, hardly seen my family, masked, etc.

It is doubly frustrating when you ask for help from the city to be told as a gardener you contribute to the problem.

I recently read that the city of Brussels in Belgium decided to fight their rat problem by using a natural enemy of rats — the ferret.

They even have a ferret master who runs the program! Surely something like this would be preferable to poisons and traps which don’t work anyway? Here is hoping.

Angela Collins

In two weeks, I won’t be able to go to a friend’s birthday lunch and it seems once again I will spend Christmas alone.

After listening to Dr. Henry’s last update, I am angry. My friend is angry because she can’t get an app to show she is vaccinated.

Those of us who have put our faith in the words “we will be in a better place by fall,” wonder why we sacrificed all the social pleasures in life, only to pay the price for those who did not.

Yes, I am very angry.

Tired of litter louts Dear Editor,

I have been moved to write about the litter on our streets in Richmond.

I have been walking for just over an hour several days a week and have been incensed by the amount of litter I see.

Recently I’ve started to take a bag with me to pick up the litter and in just that short amount of time the bag is full.

I’m picking up masks, hand wipes, cigarette packages, chip bags, plastic bags, lots of paper receipts — which surprised me — and, of course, fast food wrappers.

I’m totally frustrated by the amount of cigarette butts I see, too.

As I walk, it’s got me thinking a lot about why these items are on the ground making our beautiful environment not so beautiful.

someone and have been handled by someone before they were dropped.

Why can’t those items be taken home and disposed of there or placed in one of the many garbage cans provided by the municipality.

Why do smokers seem to think that they don’t own the butt as well?

No, it’s not the municipal worker’s job to pick up every scrap of litter, in my opinion, it’s a civic duty of us all to be responsible for our belongings/litter and to dispose of it in the proper way.

The hiking code of conduct is to take only photographs and leave only footprints.

In my world, this applies to anywhere, so, please, everyone, be more mindful of your litter.

Condo development ‘purposely paused’ the water — we have never heard anything back.”

Nono Shen & Maria Rantanen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Joshua Zhang wants some answers on when the condo at Atmosphere he put a down payment on in pre-sales is going to be ready.

Nono Shen photo

Richmondite Joshua Zhang wants to know what’s going on with his $250,000 pre-sale investment for a three-bedroom condo in the Atmosphere development on No. 3 Road.

But phone calls to the developer, South Street, by his realtor haven’t yielded any information, and the project seems to have ground to a halt.

In fact, the builder, Noble Construction, confirmed to the Richmond News the Atmosphere project is “purposely paused” because of financial issues and the COVID-19 pandemic, but the site is being maintained full-time.

The construction company was hesitant to talk further and directed the News to the developer for comment, but after several phone calls and an email to South Street, the News still hasn’t heard back.

Despite the lack of activity, building per-

mits have not been cancelled on the project, according to the City of Richmond.

Building permits, issued by the city, can expire if no work has taken place for more than six months, but a developer can be granted an extension for another six months by the building inspector.

The development includes an office tower and six residential towers with 824 units of housing, of which 112 will be market rentals and 38 affordable rental units.

Zhang said this spring he received an email from the developer saying he might not be able to move in until 2024, although, originally, he was told the move-in date would be spring 2021.

“Every day, I drive my car past this construction site and it’s still a big hole there with no obvious construction activities,” Zhang said.

“I asked my realtor to ask the developer and marketing firm Magnum for any update, but it’s (like) throwing a stone into

Zhang is currently paying $2,000 in rent every month, waiting to get into his condo, which he bought in pre-sales because of its convenient location across from the Canada Line Lansdowne Station.

His initial investment of $250,000 was 20 per cent of the full price of the condo.

Edward Cheung, who also bought a condo in presales at Atmosphere, has set up a private Facebook group called “Richmond atmosphere concern group.”

The description says it was created as a “communication platform to all buyers of atmosphere in Richmond, BC.” Cheung contacted the News after he saw the online story involving Zhang.

Zhang said all he wants now is an answer whether the project is going forward or not and, if not, he wants his deposit back.

“I am facing uncertainty with no answer,” he added.

Richmond-based organization spearheads fundraising for B.C. wildfire victims The Canadian Alliancee of Chinese Association ns makes it easy to donatte via the Canadian Red Cro oss When members of the Canadian Alliance of Chinese Associations (CACA) learned about the extent of the devastation being caused by this summer’s wildfires in the B.C. Interior, they knew they had to do something to help those whose lives and homes were – and soon would be – impacted.

ON LABOUR DAY, LET’S RECOGNIZE BC NURSES AND ALL WORKERS www.bcnu.org

BC’s nurses and front line workers are working tirelessly.

With gratitude, let’s acknowledge and support their resiliency and dedication to safe patient care.

In particular, reports coming from Lytton – which all but entirely burned to the ground on June 30, following three consecutive days in which the small town of 250 recorded the highest temperatures in Canadian history – left CACA members heartbroken. As a result, an emergency meeting was held on July 3, and it was decided that fundraising for wildfire victims would begin immediately.

“The CACA has always been focused on helping communities,” says Wei Renmin, Chairman of the CACA. “We’ve helped raise funds for victims of other fires in past years, both in B.C. and Alberta. As soon as we found out from the news that people had lost their homes, we started fundraising.”

To date, more than 100 CACA members have raised in excess of $45,000 for wildfire victims. But residents of Lytton and other communities that have been devastated by wildfires still need the public’s help. For this reason, the CACA has established special channels through which anyone can donate to the Canadian Red Cross.

Instructions follow at the bottom of this story.

Fundraising is a key component of the CACA. In fact, it was established in 2008 expressly to help raise funds for those impacted by the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, China. Since then, the CACA has raised more than half a million dollars for various worthy causes, including several hospitals throughout the Lower Mainland, victims of past years’ wildfires in B.C. and Alberta, and more.

“This has always been a primary purpose of the CACA,” says Renmin, “to help our communities and people affected by tragedy.”

The CACA is an alliance of more than 150 Chinese associations, its members composed mainly of new immigrants from Mainland China. It lists its mandates as “unity, mutual assistance, dedication and prosperity.” “Our job is to spread the message,” says Renmim of the CACA’s fundraising. “We’re here to help Canadian communities.”

Pipes remain from Ancient violin back in owner’s hands shelved bridge plan the Richmond News.

Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Giant 10-foot-diameter pipes and a large hydro pole lie dormant at the Richmond and Delta ends of the George Massey Tunnel, awaiting a decision on where a BC Hydro transmission line will be built.

BC Hydro spent $25 million — out of a budget of $76 million — to replace a transmission line that runs in the ventilation shaft of the current tunnel with an overhead line. This was when the plan was still to build a 10-lane bridge to replace the tunnel.

When the bridge plan was scrapped by the BC NDP government in 2017, the transmission line work also stopped.

But he’s worried that since work on the aerial line was already started, that’s the route they’ll go, adding sometimes “it’s hard for society to reverse itself, even if it’s a mistake.”

The aerial line would be a “great risk” to birds and even aircraft, Langer said.

If the old one had a transmission line, why can’t the new modern tunnel have one?

Not only had one-third of the project budget been spent, but another $6 million was needed to wind down the project and settle construction claims, according to BC Hydro.

Langer’s hope was the old tunnel would be kept as a utility tunnel, keeping the transmission line in its current place.

The province, however, is planning to decommission the current tunnel after the new one is built.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is working with BC Hydro to relocate the existOTTO LANGER ing line — once BC Hydro learns more about the project, they will The pipes and poles worry Otto be able to determine their options Langer, a Richmond environmento replace the transmission line, BC Hydro said talist and retired DFO biologist, who would in a statement. rather see a new transmission line be integrated “We’ve held onto the material as we are waitinto the new tunnel — especially for the safety ing for direction from the Ministry on their projof birds. ect and will reassess what to do with them as we “If the old one had a transmission line, why learn more about plans for the tunnel’s replacecan’t a new modern tunnel have one?” he told ment,” the statement continued.

For Richmond-born violinist Royce Rich, his 1757 Lorenzo Carcassi violin is more than a tool of the trade, it’s better described as “a limb.”

So when his precious instrument was stolen on public transit in Toronto, the 22-year-old music student was devastated.

“It felt like I lost a limb, a part of myself…and most importantly, my voice,” said Rich.

“You hear stories of things like this happening to other people and you don’t expect it to happen to yourself.”

But the intensity of his distress was matched by his gratitude towards a cab driver who phoned police after the alleged thief tried to sell him the instrument “for a couple hundred bucks.”

“I’ll be eternally grateful, and I can’t wait until I head back to Toronto to thank him for reuniting me with it.”

Rich will be returning to Toronto to finish his Artist Diploma at The Glenn Gould School this fall.

When asked what makes this violin so special, besides its age,

Royce Rich was reunited with his 264-year-old violin.

Photo submitted he said it’s the tone.

“To the regular ear, this violin may sound like any other violin, but to us instrumentalists it is different, because it has a very rich, deep and mature tone to it.”

The instrument was also a link to Rich’s own creative resurgence.

“I had lost myself during COVID-19, amongst other things, and I remember looking in the mirror and realizing I had lost my ambition and creativity,” said Rich.

In a bid to rekindle his creative fire, the violinist picked up his instrument and began practising, eventually leading to his first debut solo album, Short Stories.

However, just four hours after his final recording, his violin was stolen on public transit.

U.S. Olympic hero’s Richmond firm being sued for $50 million Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A company headquartered in Richmond and co-founded by U.S. Olympic hero Apolo Ohno is being sued in a Californian court for $50M (U.S.).

Allysian Sciences, whose global HQ is on Westminster Highway at No. 2 Road, is one of several companies connected to former speed skater Ohno that are named in the suit over an alleged $50 million crypto fraud.

As well as Allysian — a brain and body supplement firm — Hybrid Trade Limited and Asia Digital Exchange are being sued.

Ohno, an eight-time medallist in the Winter Olympics, is personally named in the suit alongside Allysian’s co-founder Rod Jao, its global managing director Eugenio Pugliese and

Henry Liu.

including inside the U.S.

In the suit, filed at a U.S. federal court in Los Angeles on Aug. 16, plaintiffs Brian Kang, Skyblock LLC, Mid-Wilshire Consulting LLC, Prasad Hurra, David Kim, Blue Rock Group, David Kwon, Artemio Verduzo and Young Jae Kwon allege that the defendants raised $50 million in digital tokens, and later misappropriated the money raised.

The sale of the tokens, it is claimed, was never registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, thus depriving investors of the benefit of the disclosures, required by the American securities laws.

The documents filed at the California Central District Court list a number of allegations, including “securities fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, promissory fraud, unjust enrichment, fraudulent conveyance, and the sale of unregistered securities.”

According to the suit, between January 2018 and June 2018, the defendants offered and sold digital tokens and raised around $50 million (U.S.) from investors from around the world,

“Defendants squandered and/or misappropriated, and purported to lose by theft, all or nearly all of the approximately $50 million raised through their offer and sale of Hybrid Tokens.

Richmond Centre candidates weigh in on climate change landers said that Richmond is more affected by the climate crisis than other municipalities.

Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

With sea levels expected to rise in Richmond by up to a metre by 2100, four Richmond Centre candidates have weighed in on the issue of climate change.

The Richmond News queried, via email, the Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Green candidates in that riding about the climate issues facing Richmond — such as sea level rise and possible flooding — in light of the major U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released last month.

“We’re pretty well locked in, in the Metro Vancouver area, to at least a half a metre of sea level rise by the end of the century — so over the next 80 years or so — (or) maybe a metre,” Simon Fraser University professor emeritus John Clague told the News following the release of the report.

In addition, Richmond faces the threat of Fraser River flooding, said Clague, which is linked to sea level rise because the lower portion of the river will rise along with sea levels.

The IPCC report also projected that even if emissions are drastically cut, the world is expected to hit global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius in the 2030s.

Furthermore, even at 1.5 degrees, heavy rains and flooding are projected to become more intense and frequent, including in many regions of North America.

Green Party candidate Laura Gil-

“Being an island on a floodplain, our very existence is dependent on managing sea level and Fraser River rise,” she said. “Also, as almost 40 per cent of the land in Richmond is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, farmers and food security are threatened by increasingly heavy rainfall in the winter and droughts in the summer. ” She said the Greens have set “bold” climate targets to ensure Canada meets net-zero requirements by 2050, and have a plan to cut emissions by 60 per cent by 2030.

Meanwhile, Sandra Nixon, running for the NDP, pointed out that climate change is “not a far-off problem for future generations,” rather, people are already feeling its effects.

She said the city will also face other impacts of climate change, such as food security and “becoming a destination for ‘climate refugees.’”

to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies.

These funds, she said, would be redirected to low carbon initiatives. The NDP would also establish multi-year national and sectoral carbon budgets and create a “climate accountability office.”

Liberal candidate Wilson Miao, meanwhile, highlighted that the Liberals have made “significant progress to protect the environment and grow the economy” since 2015, and have also invested in communities to help them adapt to the effects of climate change.

“A re-elected Liberal government will shift to zero-emission vehicles faster, make homes and builders cleaner, and power our communities with clean energy,” he said.

“We’re pretty well locked in... to at least a half a metre of sea level rise by the end of the century...”

Incumbent Alice Wong, running for reelection with the Conservatives, said that when the party was in government, she helped facilitate funding for the City of Richmond’s dike and pump upgrades.

Wong said that while the Conservatives’ platform on tackling climate Both Nixon and Gillanders pointed out the JOHN CLAGUE change was “too large to mention in detail” via fishing industry will also her emailed statement, be impacted by climate her favourite theme “is to harness huchange.

PPC fights COVID measures The People’s Party of Canada (PPC) has candidates for both Richmond ridings in the Sept. 20 federal election.

James Hinton is the PPC candidate in Richmond Centre and Jennifer Singh is running in Steveston-Richmond East.

The right-wing party is led by former Conservative Maxime Bernier.

The PPC claims COVID-19 restrictions are “unconstitutional” and argues for building herd immunity, saying only the vulnerable need protection. They want to repeal vac-

cination passports and vaccine mandates.

Bernier himself is not vaccinated and was arrested for defying public health orders.

The party’s platform also includes reducing the number of refugees coming to Canada. On immigration, the PPC states it shouldn’t “forcibly change the cultural character and social fabric of our country.”

The party platform also advocates for a mixture of private and public health care.

Steveston-Richmond East candidates want to see far-reaching policies to guarantee food security and allow Richmondites to buy local.

But NDP candidate Jack Trovato said the over-arching problem that needs to be addressed first is the climate crisis.

“We can talk about food security…(but) if we don’t address the climate emergency, all of this is null and void,” he said.

The federal government has set emissions reduction targets for 2050, and while Trovato said that’s a step in the right direction, it’s still too far off.

“We’re staring in the face of this crisis,” he added.

‘No farmer, no food’ Liberal candidate Parm Bains, on the other hand, said he would like to see the federal government work with municipalities to encourage higher production on

One intiative he’d like to see implemented is a land-matching program that pairs farmland owners, whose land isn’t producing, with farmers who don’t own their own land.

Less red tape needed Steveston-Richmond East Conservative candidate Kenny Chiu, running for reelection, would like to see less red tape to allow farmers to be more productive by, for example, expanding greenhouses.

This would allow more food to be grown year round in Canada, he added.

But Chiu pointed out, policies like carbon taxes are hitting farmers and driving up the cost of local food.

“We’re not talking about a high-flying lifestyle, we’re talking about basic necessities,” he added.

Teachers concerned with mask mandate

Sign up for our newsletter at richmond-news.com Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Masks are only “strongly

recommended” but not required for students in Kindergarten to Grade 3, and that doesn’t sit well with the Richmond Teacher Association (RTA).

The current policy, as it pertains to students in lower grades, is just “not strong enough” to protect those returning to in-class learning as of Sept. 7, according to the RTA’s president Liz Baverstock.

“The mask announcement (on Aug. 24) doesn’t make sense for the younger population who is not vaccinated,” said Baverstock.

“The RTA and BCTF are advocating for K-12 mask requirements to start the school year. Encouraging students to wear masks in lower grades is helpful but is not strong enough.”

B.C.’s Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside stated in a news briefing early last week that all staff and students in Grade 4 and up are required to wear masks within the school setting, including in both classrooms and while taking school transportation.

However, masks are only “strongly recommended” for students in Kindergarten to Grade 3.

The BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) also took to social media with concern that the provincial government has yet to provide a “clear rationale” for exempting students in grades K-3, who are not vaccinated, from the B.C. mask mandate.

In the meantime, the BCTF is advising everyone to get vaccinated to help curb the pandemic as the new school year approaches.

“Since elementary children won’t be vaccinated and the rates for secondary students are still low, it’s imperative that you do what you can to protect yourself

The mask announcement doesn’t make sense for the younger population who is not vaccinated.

LIZ BAVERSTOCK and those you work with,” said BCTF in a statement.

The RTA has also been encouraging all their members to be vaccinated when the options were available.

“It would be helpful if clinics were set-up in schools next week. I know the BCTF is advocating for this, and we will be doing the same through our venues,” Baverstock added.

Meanwhile, students are heading back to school next week as COVID-19 cases rise in the province — and in Richmond.

As of Tuesday, there were eight COVID-19 patients at Richmond Hospital, of which two were in ICU. This is up from five patients last week; however, last week, there were three in ICU. The number of COVID-19 cases detected in Richmond has also been rising over the past month, according to the BC Centre for Disease Control.

There were 74 cases between Aug. 15 and 21, up from 57 the week before.

With September around the corner, many students are heading off to post-secondary schools, boarding schools and living away from home.

Most insurance policies provide some form of coverage for student’s property while attending school, college or university as long as they are a “dependent” of the Named Insured or their spouse, listed on the policy.

Some insurance companies give a specific limit of student’s property they cover such as $10,000. Other insurers don’t put a specific limit on student property.

If you are a student at school and not a dependent under your parent’s policy, you can always purchase your own Tenants insurance package to cover your important belongings such as bicycles, laptops, clothing etc.

Equally important, is to check your policy to see if it extends liability to students while attending school.

Our Central Agencies Ltd. team is available 7 days a week to answer your questions about students and provide you with best advice and coverage available.

If you must remove hearing aids from your ears during the day, it is also better to put the hearing aids back on the charger. A simple rule is: If the hearing aids are not on/in your ears, they should be on the charger. The batteries will not overcharge and storing them in the charger will not decrease the overall lifespan of the battery.

Please contact us if you are interested in rechargeable hearing aids.

Q: How long should full plate dentures last?

A:

Are students covered under your Q: insurance policy?

A:

It is important to read your policy wordings very carefully and recognize that there are specific circumstances whereby student’s property is not covered.

The batteries will not overcharge if they are left on the charger.

It is the right practice to put the hearing aids on the charger overnight. This will turn off the hearing aids and keep the batteries charged. When the hearing aids are on the charger, always leave the charger plugged in with power. Without power, the hearing aids will turn on automatically and begin to drain the battery.

This is a multifactorial answer. Foremost it depends on how well you take care of them. Subsequently diet; the types of foods you eat significantly impact on the wear of your teeth. Course foods tend to wear out the chewing surfaces at a much quicker rate. White mint candies that have a sandy feeling coating are highly abrasive and destructive to artificial teeth. Your particular physiology can affect your fitting surfaces.

For example, osteoporosis can affect the fitting surfaces by creating a faster rate of change to your underlying bone structures. Numerous other factors may also play into these scenarios.

Included in the registration fee is:

chip timing; technical t-shirt; post-race snacks and coffee; bottle of B.C. wine for first place in each age category.

Participants age 90 and over can register for free.

Exhibitors and sponsors will have their tents on the plaza outside the Oval.

For more information and how to reg-

ister, go to Foreveryoung8k.ca.

ASK A PROFESSIONAL received in the mail a flyer from a Q: Icompany coming to buy coins and gold.

I am 65 years old. What are the Q: benefits of Fluzone HD? A:

Fluzone High-Dose (HD) is an influenza vaccine made for people over 65 and is designed to promote a stronger immune response against influenza (flu) than standard flu vaccine. As a person ages, the immune system may become weakened thus increasing the risk of developing serious flu symptoms and flu-related complications. Vaccination offers the best protection against the flu, but due to age-related changes in the immune system, people 65 years and older may not respond as well to vaccinations as younger people. Fluzone HD contains four times the amount of antigen compared to a standard-dose flu vaccine.

The higher dose of antigen is intended to give people over 65 a better immune response, and therefore, better protection against the flu.

Studies have found that high-dose flu vaccine was 24% more effective in preventing flu in adults over 65 compared with standard-dose flu vaccine. High-dose inactivated flu vaccine may be associated with higher rate of injection site pain and systemic reactions such as malaise or muscle ache post vaccination, but these adverse events are typically mild and similar to those receiving the standard-dose.

Fluzone HD may offer higher protection against the flu virus, but the most important thing is for all people 6 months and older to receive a flu vaccine every year. Vaccination should not be delayed in order to obtain a specific product when an appropriate one is already available.

Talk to your doctor and pharmacist to learn more about Fluzone HD and book your Fluzone HD at participating Save-On-Foods pharmacies this upcoming season.

How do their prices compare to yours?

A:

I had a mother and daughter come in who had an offer from them.

Q: What About Final Arrangements?

A:

A:

Does your building do regular (annual) hydro-jetting?

This is a high-pressure, water flushing, of your horizontal drain lines. This is something that is often neglected but, really needs done! When grease and semi-solids get flushed down your drains, (which you should try and avoid), they move down the vertical line ok with gravity. However, when that line goes horizontal, they often sit there and then solidify. Grease and things like Rice can become hard as a brick and will cause back-ups over and over again, until those lines are properly cleared. Give us a call if you would like us to come out and give you a quote for Hydro-jetting your buildings drain lines. It will save you thousands in emergency calls and flood damage.

Olympic hero makes cheesy Crowdfunder for dad fighting rare cancer visit to the food bank Alan Campbell

Nono Shen

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Olympic bronze medalist Evan Dunfee poses for a selfie with a fan.

Richmond race walker Evan Dunfee was surrounded by fans desperate to get a selfie with him at Tuesday morning’s donation event.

Dunfee won a bronze medal in the men’s 50-km race walking competition at the Tokyo Olympics last month. This was Canada’s first medal in the event. In honour of his time of 3:50:59 at the Olympics, Kraft Dinner donated 35,059 boxes of mac ‘n’ cheese to the Richmond Food Bank Tuesday morning in Dunfee’s name.

Residents crowded around Dunfee, trying to snap pictures or videos of him.

Richmondite Francis Thong, a volunteer with Richmond Food Bank, said Dunfee’s visit was a big surprise for him.

“He is super nice and said, ‘hey,’ to every one of us. He told us he lives only a kilometre away from here. To me, he is so friendly and approachable, just like the boy living next door,” said Thong.

Ramzi Naisan said he was at the food bank simply to pick up food and had no idea he would be coming face-to-face with an Olympic medal winner.

“I once saw him race walking on a trail in Richmond before heading to the Tokyo Olympics, and the next time I saw him was on TV and he was walking under the scorching sun

in Tokyo. I was so excited and shouted at my friend, this is our Richmond boy,” said Naisan.

Dunfee said he was glad to leverage his partnership with his sponsor Kraft Dinner to help the community in a meaningful way and raise awareness about the local food bank.

“The coolest thing about being in Richmond is, because I am out walking on the streets daily, I’m getting cars honking at me and people saying hi. So, I feel an intimate connection with my community, which is cool. And that’s where the desire to help our community comes from,” said Dunfee.

A GoFundMe page is trying to raise money for a Richmond dad, who has been fighting a rare cancer for the last eight months.

Friends of Kevin Arcand kicked off the online fundraiser to help the family offset medical bills associated with his treatment for SCC (squamous cell carcinoma) in his nose.

Father-of-two Arcand, 52, who lives near No. 1 and Blundell roads, has not been able to work for the last six months or so.

According to the GoFundMe page, Arcand felt what he thought was a small pebble in his nose in October last year.

After numerous visits to his GP, he eventually got a CT scan in January of this year, before finding out the bad news shortly afterwards.

Dunfee off and back to goal —

In February, Arcand had painful surgery, which involved removing his nose and rebuilding it with bone from his left wrist and skin grafts from his wrist and forehead.

However, the men’s 50-km race walking event will not be held at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, although there will be a mixed gender race walking event.

He has recently finished 12 weeks of radiation therapy and, in an update posted on the page last week by his wife, Sherry, she said “the

After returning home from Tokyo, said he has been taking some time enjoying the moment, before getting training and figuring out his next big such as winning the gold medal.

radiation kicked him in the ass so to speak. His face is swollen still and the doctors say just keep doing what he is doing (mouth rinsing, nose rinsing, eye drops, cold compresses and ice packs).

“He still has issues breathing and today everything he drank came out his nose. He has to have a PET scan and MRI in September and then sees the surgeon early October...”

She said they never realized how important eyelashes were (he only has about nine on his upper left eye and none on the bottom) as his eye is constantly irritated.

Sherry added that they are still waiting for CPP disability to accept Arcand’s claim so that “he has some money coming in; medical EI is done, so now it’s a tight ship at home.”

She said she’s taking the next two weeks off work to help her husband heal and spend time with him.

“We’ve got to get him back to normal so he can get back to work.”

‘Giant’ of track and field passes away Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A legend of the Richmond athletics scene has passed away at the age of 85.

The Kajaks Track and Field Club Alumni announced on its Facebook page Monday afternoon that they’d lost “another giant” in Moseley Jack.

Jack told the Richmond News in February of this year that he was retiring after coaching at the club — which has produced several Olympic athletes — for an incredible 41 years.

“We find it difficult to put in to words the effect that Coach Jack had on our club,” read the statement on the club’s Facebook page.

“Beginning with the club in September 1980, Moseley, like many other long-time coaches began coaching when his son Byron joined.

“From then on, Coach Jack went on to become a world class coach through his

Retired Kajaks coach Moseley Jack, who died age 85. involvement with our Junior Development program.

“Never compromising, consistently professional and always honest with his athletes, Moseley epitomized what it meant to take seriously the care for one’s athletes.”

The post went on to say that “Coach Jack always brought a motivating energy with him to practice and any athlete under his care knew that they were in the presence of a serious coach.

“Throughout his career, he touched the lives of every athlete to come through the club and often kept tabs on them throughout their careers…Rest easy coach.”

Richmond athlete receives curling scholarship

Jack, a 2018 Richmond Wall of Fame inductee, told the News earlier this year how he stumbled into coaching by accident, after turning up at a Richmond elementary school track meet in 1980 with his son and daughter.

A school teacher at the time, Jack had zero experience as an athletics coach and had absolutely no intention of taking up a coaching role at the local Kajaks club.

But later that same day, a blunt conversation with the club’s head coach at the time led to Jack — an immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago in 1959 — spending the next 41 years honing the skills of the club’s younger athletes and earning himself the tag as a Kajaks’ legend in the process.

“I came from Trinidad and Tobago; we were not that advanced; there were no tracks there. I do remember someone doing the pole vault with a long piece of bamboo and landing on the ground on their bare feet,” said Jack back in February.

“We just played cricket and soccer, I knew very little about track and field.”

Jack first came to Canada, age 23, to

study at UBC, initially with designs on becoming a doctor, before ending up in teaching, which eventually took him east to Kamloops.

But it was a call from the Richmond School Board about a job that brought him back to the area and ultimately to the Kajaks.

“Everything I learned about coaching athletics, I learned it through the Kajaks or from national coaches,” added Jack, a 2018 Richmond Wall of Fame inductee.

“I went through all the coaching levels. I coached basketball at school as well, after someone showed me how the game works; that was another sport I knew very little about.”

Kajaks’ head coach, Garret Collier, said earlier this year that it was “almost impossible” to measure how much of an impact Jack has had at the club over those four decades.

“During his time at Kajaks, with the junior development program, he’s touched the careers, at some point, of athletes who went onto national or Olympic levels,” Collier told the Richmond News.

Richmond Curling Centre team member Johnson Tao is one of 11 athletes across Canada to receive the For the Love of Curling scholarship from Curling Canada.

The scholarship is meant to help recipients enhance their skills in their sport.

“Every year while reviewing these applications, I’m reminded that the future of our sport is in terrific hands,” said Curling Canada CEO and selection panel member Katherine Henderson.

“The core purpose of this scholarship program is to support young, talented and passionate curlers who will make a difference in society and this year’s recipients are no exception. They all exemplify the attributes of leaders in curling and in communities.”

Tao, who is studying for his bachelor of commerce degree at the University of Alberta, was picked by a panel consisting of Curling Canada officials, high-performance athletes and former scholars.

GREAVES, Frederick T. H. August 27, 1933 − November 30, 2020 With the lifting of COVID restrictions regarding gathering size, Fred’s wife, Joan, and his girls, Barbara, Marianne, Susan, and Nancy, and their families would love to have you join us for a Celebration of Life service for our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather on September 11, 2021, at 2 pm at Richmond Presbyterian Church, 7111 No 2 Road. A reception will follow in the Church Hall.

LEFLER, Ken The Montgomery family is sad to advise that Ken Lefler passed away on August 11, 2021, after suffering a stroke on August 2. Born Kenneth Ralph Loeffler on May 30, 1939, in Vancouver, BC, Ken and his mother Helen joined the Montgomery family in 1950.

He lived the rest of his life in Steveston, and was a committed Stevestonite - Lord Byng Elementary, Richmond High, and a 36 year career at BC Packers Imperial Cannery. Ken is survived by his siblings Bette Cox, Judy Nylander, Sharon Montgomery, and John Montgomery (Linda), along with ten nieces and nephews. He is also fondly remembered by the boys at the Pi”s Table of Knowledge, where all things important were regularly attended to.

A Celebration of Ken’s Life will be held on Tuesday, September 21, between 2:00 and 4:00 pm, at the Pioneer Pub in Richmond (No. 3 Road and Williams).

If you wish to make a donation in memory of Ken, the BCSPCA is a charity he has supported. https://spca.bc.ca/

Born September 6, 1931, in Victoria BC, Bill passed away after a courageous battle with Bone Cancer.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Society in Bill’s name. There will be a private service held on September 8, 2021, at 1 PM at the All Saints Anglican Church in Ladner, BC. Written condolences can be sent to 305−1118, 55th Street, Delta, BC, V4M−3J8.

May you now rest in peace and without pain.
