I wear a poppy because war stinks Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

There’s an expression “my enemy’s enemy is my friend.” This can make for strange political bedfellows and uncomfortable alliances. As a Canadian, I proudly wear my red poppy — no, not a white one or a purple one (yes, that’s a thing to honour animals lost in war) — and I try to take a few moments on Nov. 11 to remember Canada has sent young men and women to fight many wars far from home, hopefully always on the right side. Most people agree the Second World War was a “just war” and we were “jus ad bellum” — justified in going to war. However, while Canadians were fighting with the Allies against Nazi Germany, my ancestral family was in a very different war. My ancestors were living in Finland and when the big bear from the east came

crashing over the bog and through the forests across the border, it didn’t matter who this bear was allied with, it was the enemy.

Russia, and the Nazis proceeded to burn town after town in northern Finland as they retreated to Norway.

So, in the end, to keep Russia at bay, Finland struck a deal with Nazi Germany.

When Finland was allied with Germany, the Nazis demanded they send Jewish refugees from Austria, who were hiding in Finland, to Germany, presumably to face the same fate as six million other European Jews.

The west, in the meantime, was allied with its own arch-enemy, Soviet Russia. Again, strange bedfellows. The first Finno-Russian war is called the Winter War (1939-40). Russia, fighting the Germans, wanted to protect Leningrad and claimed the Finnish border was too close for comfort. This was their justification for attacking. The brave Finns put up a good fight but the Russians far outnumbered them and, in the end, they had to concede defeat.

Eight were sent, of whom seven perished in Auschwitz. As a reparation, a group of Finns set up a moshav in Israel in the 1970s called “Yad HaShmona,” meaning “the eight” – symbolizing the eight Jews they sent to Germany.

The second war is called the Continuation War (1940-44), when the Germans supported Finland in trying to regain land lost in the Winter War.

(Strangely, many Finnish-Jewish soldiers fought alongside Germans in Finland with no conﬂict, and there was little anti-semitism in Finland, unlike in other European countries, despite prevailing strong nationalistic sentiments.)

This was followed by the Lapland War (1944-45) whereby Finland expelled the Germans as part of a peace treaty with

My maternal grandfather was on the frontlines of the war with Russia — family stories are vague as to how long he was there and

what he did during the war, but he wore a chest full of medals on Independence Day. One of his brothers never returned home after the war, and another one had shrapnel in his brain until he died at the age of 99. Like most people of my generation, I didn’t ask my grandfather any questions about the war, something I will always regret. And many veterans can’t talk to civilians about what it’s like to serve, and we must respect that and sometimes just silently honour their service. A volunteer with the Richmond Poppy Fund told me last week, “war stinks.” I wear my poppy proudly, but I know better than to romanticize war. It’s messy. It’s complicated. And, yes, it stinks and can leave lasting damage. War is also highly political and fraught with conﬂicting interests. Let’s just keep working to avoid sending any more of our young men or women to those frontlines that can steal their soul.

Illegal ride-hailing Flat tire brings out the best puts everyone at risk Dear Editor,

Dear Editor, Re: “Richmond councillor wants city staff to look into illegal ridehailing,” online, Nov. 4. Recently, I’ve heard concerns from people in Richmond about ride-hailing companies operating illegally. I agree this is a problem. That’s why our B.C. government has developed a framework for ride-hailing that puts passenger safety ﬁrst.

ple’s safety at risk. BC’s Passenger Transportation Board actively investigates illegal ride-hailing operators, and has stepped up its enforcement activities. Companies found to be operating illegally can face signiﬁcant ﬁnes and penalties. Some people who use unlicensed ride-hailing companies may be doing so without realizing those companies are operating illegally.

To operate in B.C., ride-hailing companies must be licensed by BC’s Passenger Transportation Board (PTB). Licensed companies must carry out criminal record checks, have drivers who are licensed to a Class 4 standard and have valid insurance.

If you are unsure about whether a ride-hailing company is licensed, you can view the approved list of companies on the B.C. government website.

Unlicensed ride-hailing operators may not have these measures, which is why using them puts peo-

Henry Yao, MLA

Choosing legal, licensed ridehailing companies is important, for everyone’s safety. RICHMOND

I would like to publicly thank two men who went out of their way to help me in the Ironwood Canadian Tire parking lot on Friday, Oct. 1, when my car tire was punctured with a nail.

Earlier, I noticed some deﬂation in my back tire when I was on my way to work and saw a nail embedded in it. Since Canadian Tire was on my way I stopped in to buy a plug kit, while the car was still drivable. I had never plugged a car tire before, but I was sure I could do it myself — it seemed easy enough. Well, the nail was easy to remove, but inserting the plug — not so much. I could not push in that metal tool with the plug for the life of me, especially at an awkward angle.

My tire had now become completely ﬂat.

A friendly man stopped and offered to help, and gave it a tremendous effort (but to no avail, unfortunately). He continued on to his appointment, and I continued to try to insert this plug. I asked Canadian Tire auto centre if someone could help me in the parking lot, but they said that unfortunately they could not (no insurance or something).

Just as I was about to admit defeat and call for roadside assistance, another gentleman came along asking if I could use some help. This guy, so kind, put in all his effort and ﬁnally got the plug in. I could not have done it without him. He then told me about a portable AC powered air compressor which I could

buy for about 30 bucks. I purchased one and inﬂated my tire and drove to work! I was so appreciative that both of these men would take time out of their day and offer, out of the blue, to help a random stranger with obvious tire trouble. It is so valuable when we come to one another’s aid — friend or stranger. To those two men, I appreciate your willingness to help so much. As someone who likes to help others, it was so heartwarming to be on the receiving end. Thank you! Please keep being kind, everyone. I’m convinced that it makes more positive impact on others than we can ever know.

Caring Place housing plan backed Dear Editor,

Re: “Tweaking won’t solve housing crisis,” Opinion “Nonprofit looks for city support,” News, Oct. 21. “Support housing plan,” “Swift action needed,” Letters, Oct. 28 I am writing on behalf of the Richmond Poverty Reduction Coalition (RPRC) in response to the flurry of articles and letters about the lack of truly affordable housing in Richmond. RPRC members include individual Richmond residents as well as several local non-profit organizations representing hundreds of low-income clients and/or members. We are all committed to reducing poverty levels in Richmond starting with adequate and affordable housing. The RPRC has been active in advocating for affordable housing in Richmond since 2000. We continue to encour-

age the City of Richmond to build affordable housing for the sizeable proportion of our population living in marketdriven rental supply because non-market housing is not available. Firstly, the RPRC fully supports the Board of Richmond Caring Place Society in their aim to redevelop the city-owned site on Minoru and Granville and build sorely needed space for local non-proﬁts as well as two towers of housing for rent at below-market rates. Secondly, members of the RPRC agree with the recent Richmond News editorial that states the market has “proven itself incapable of providing an adequate supply of affordable housing.” The RPRC understands that the City’s Affordable Housing Strategy mandates developers of 60 units or more to provide

10 per cent of the total as affordable units (or 15 per cent in city centre). However, this only means six or nine units in a development of 60 units. And often, as in the case of River Green near the Oval, these units are moved offsite to another location altogether. Even when ﬁlled, the City Strategy dictates that these “affordable” units are rented at 10 per cent below market (2017 rates). Seeing that in Richmond market rents are ridiculous, this “affordable” housing is only affordable for a select few. In the meantime, 85 per cent of the new units in city centre will be purchased or rented at market rate units to people with high incomes.

Hit and run driver urged to own up

Police are appealing for the driver of a grey SUV to come forward, after an early morning hit and run in Richmond.

Richmond RCMP say the pedestrian victim was crossing Bridgeport Road at Simpson Road at around 5:23 a.m. on Oct. 29 when a vehicle apparently pulled out of a parking lot, striking him, causing him to fall to the ground. The pedestrian did not get a good look at the vehicle, however, a witness described it as a grey SUV. Neither the pedestrian nor the witness were able to obtain a license plate. The pedestrian was taken to hospital where he was treated and released.

Police want to remind drivers involved in any form of a collision that they are required to stop and provide information to any individuals involved. “This collision took place in the early hours of the morning when trafﬁc would have been fairly light,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Adriana O’Malley.

“If you were in the area or are the driver of the grey SUV that exited the parking lot...please contact us.” Anyone with information is asked to call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote ﬁle number 2021-29560.

Tornado conﬁrmed off coast of YVR Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Dramatic video and photos were taken of a tornado spotted just off the coast at Vancouver Airport Saturday evening. Footage of the giant water spout (a tornado over water) near the airport took over social media platforms across the region. Some of the video and photos were shot by passengers at the airport, while many were taken from high rises in the city. A tornado watch was issued earlier in the day by Environment Canada before being lifted later in the evening.

This giant water spout (tornado over water) was recorded near YVR. The report advised people to be prepared for severe weather and to take cover immediately if a tornado did form. According to the alert, there was a possibility of funnel clouds and that possibly brief,

weak tornadoes could develop. The alert came after the northbound waterspout was spotted west of YVR. Environment Canada conﬁrmed on Monday that a tornado did swirl through B.C. on Saturday. Before this weekend, only seven tornados had touched down in the Vancouver area over the past 70 years.

Illegal tree cutting in Richmond could net $50,000 ﬁne Trees are a key part of biodiversity in Richmond, and elsewhere, and the loss of a mature tree can have long-term implications for birds, she said.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A ﬁne for illegally chopping down a tree in Richmond could increase to $50,000 from a current maximum ﬁne of $10,000.

“Bushes and plants grow pretty quickly, but a tree takes decades before a bird is probably going to build a nest in one,” she added.

The province has changed the Community Charter to allow this ﬁve-fold increase and it will be up to Richmond city council to decide whether to increase ﬁnes in the city.

But the other half of the equation is enforcement and education, she said.

If passed, this is good news for the Garden City Conservation Society, according to its president, Sharon MacGougan.

While MacGougan thinks city staff do an “excellent job” following up on complaints and take quick action on illegal tree cutting, they don’t have the time to monitor every street in the city.

“They could probably use more resources or more staff,” she said.

Education about conservation is also needed so Richmond residents know not to prune excessively or cut down mature trees, MacGougan said. If someone sees their neighbour cutting or topping a tree, they might follow suit, MacGougan said. “We are really supportive of any actions that can be taken to protect biodiversity — of which mature trees are a part of — but (there’s) also a conservation education aspect, too,” she said. To impose a ﬁne for illegally cutting

down or damaging a tree in Richmond, the city has to go through the provincial court system. A permit is required to cut down a tree in Richmond if its base is 20 centimetres in diameter or wider or if it’s in an environmentally sensitive area (ESA). The tree bylaw also prohibits damaging trees, for example, by topping them.

However, there are some exemptions, for example, trees on farmland and golf courses. The changes to the tree bylaw will be at next week’s (Nov. 17) planning committee meeting.

Retiree hit with $30K speculation tax Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond resident who has lived in his Terra Nova home for the past two decades is now facing a $30,000 bill, plus interest, under the provincial government’s speculation and vacancy tax. It’s a tax Tony Chan doesn’t believe he should be subject to — and one which he can’t afford. The tax breaks down to about $15,000 a year that Chan, who is 64 and mostly retired from his career in ﬁnance, is being asked to pay. It comes down to the fact that his wife, whom he married in 2005, lives and works in the U.S., earning more than he does. Chan said he is “being ﬁned for being married to an American.” His only property is his home in the northwest corner of Terra Nova, which he purchased in 2000 and where he raised both his children. The house is in his name, not his wife’s, and the two don’t have shared accounts.

“It’s preposterous to think that I would be paying tax as a speculator for living here my entire life, just because I’m married to someone outside of the country,” said Chan, noting he has also received community support since sharing his story. Chan said he hasn’t “moved anywhere” and his home has never been rented. “It’s never been vacant,” Chan said, noting that while he and his wife visit each other, it’s never for more than about three months a year, total. He was ﬁrst hit with the tax nearly two years ago, around the time when he retired. Since then, Chan, who has lived in B.C. for the vast majority of his life, has been trying to appeal the tax — without success. “It’s daunting, you know, because you’re one person against the government — it’s difﬁcult. I really have no choice. It’s a $30,000 bill. I just can’t pay that,” he said.

working — with around 18,000 units in Metro Vancouver back on the long-term rental market. Under the tax, Chan is deﬁned as an untaxed worldwide earner — or a member of a satellite family — because most of the household income is earned outside of Canada.

An individual’s income is combined with their spouse’s income for the purposes of the calculation, according to the ministry. When Chan ﬁrst received the bill, he wrote to the Ministry of Finance explaining the circumstances, expecting it to be an oversight. “It’s obviously clear that I’m not under the umbrella of what they consider to be a speculator. But they basically denied it and said, ‘well, that’s too bad, that’s the way it was written.’”

In a statement to the Richmond News, the ministry stated the speculation and vacancy tax is “not discretionary.”

The province introduced the speculation and vacancy tax to combat housing speculation and vacant homes — and the affordability crisis — in major urban centres.

“It applies based on a set of circumstances that are set out in the legislation,” the ministry said.

Call for provincial short-term rental regulation Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Complaints about illegal shortterm rentals in Richmond have dropped signiﬁcantly during the pandemic, but city staff expect these numbers to rise again. In the meantime, the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) wants the industry to be regulated provin-

cially in order to help local governments. As of September, there were 41 complaints to Richmond’s bylaw department about illegal shortterm rentals so far in 2021. In 2019, there were 161 complaints. While Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he thinks the issue has been restricted somewhat

since the city brought in bylaws to regulate short-term rentals, he doesn’t think this “chronic problem” has gone away. The city tackles illegal short-term rentals based on complaints but also by actively investigating. Difﬁculties arise, however, because of language problems and ﬁnding information about those running these illegal operations, Brodie said.

“To ﬁnd them and then be able to demonstrate in some way they are avoiding or violating your bylaws (can) be a difﬁcult thing,” Brodie added.

like to see provincial regulations for short-term rentals and a requirement that those operating them post their business licence online.

UBCM has made 13 requests to the provincial government to get help regulating short-term rentals, like the province did with illegal ride-hailing services.

They would also like the province to make short-term rental business owners pay provincial sales tax and the hotel tax.

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A 33-year-old Richmond woman and a 49-year-old Vancouver man have been arrested for alleged loansharking and money-laundering. The pair was taken into custody last week after a more than twoyear investigation by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) — a multi-agency unit made up of various police and law enforcement teams. Over the course of the investigation — related to criminal interest rates and the operation of a money service business — evidence was gathered which indicated the suspects allegedly laundered more than $828,000. And on Nov. 5, CFSEU-BC’s joint illegal gaming investigation team (JIGIT) executed a number of search warrants on properties in Richmond and Burnaby, as well as on three

• $10,680 in Canadian cash; and • Three high-end vehicles. “CFSEU-BC continues to target all aspects of criminal activities including money laundering and loansharking as a part of a coordinated organized crime enforcement strategy in B.C. Illegal gaming activities undermine the integrity of our financial institutions and allow criminals to secure the proceeds of crime not just for personal benefit but to fuel additional crimes,” said Insp. Mandeep Mooker, investigations officer at JIGIT. “Enforcement action such as this one has a strong immediate impact and long-term disruption implications.”

The City of Richmond is piloting a program to collect leftover household cooking grease that will be converted to renewable natural gas. The $115,000 pilot will collect cooking grease — such as from deep frying or frying foods like meats and vegetables — from up to 10 multi-family complexes (about 500 to 800 units) for one year, according to a city staff report. Grease can build up in the sewer system. Photo submitted

The item was discussed at Monday’s ﬁnance committee meeting where city council was looking at utility fees for 2022. The program could help reduce maintenance and repair costs linked to grease accumulations in Richmond’s sewer system, as well as grease clogs in home sewer systems. Residents who are part of the pilot will receive containers that they ﬁll up with the household grease. These containers will then be sealed, placed in city-provided carts and collected weekly from each complex. The grease will then be taken to a processing facility in the Fraser Valley and put through an anaerobic digester, producing renewable natural gas.

According to ForticBC, naturally occurring bacteria break down organic waste and create biogas as a by-product. The city will be measuring whether less grease ends up in the sewer system due to the pilot program. Grease build-up is an “ongoing and difﬁcult challenge to address,” and one that’s faced by major cities nationally and internationally, according to the report. Richmond deals with about 30 complete or partial sewer blockages each year, each costing an average of about $1,000 to deal with.

Video prompts increased Roaming huskies patrols in Minoru Park taken off the streets Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The BC SPCA is increasing patrols in the Minoru Park area of Richmond, after a disturbing video surfaced of two people allegedly letting their dogs loose to maul wild rabbits. The Richmond News reported last week how a video, doing the rounds on social media, claimed to catch a man and woman with two off-leash dogs that had mutilated rabbits in the park at night. The man who shot the video reported the incident to the BC SPCA and Richmond RCMP. However, the BC SPCA told the News that the rabbits are outside of its jurisdiction and fall under the care of the B.C. Ministry of Environment. A spokesperson for the BC SPCA added, though, that it has “increased patrols in the

area by the animal control ofﬁcers.” Richmond RCMP, meanwhile, told the News that, while the man who shot the video found dead rabbits in the area, “he did not observe the dogs or the individuals killing the rabbits.” The RCMP spokesperson added that police “conducted an investigation but no evidence linking the dogs or the two individuals to the death of the rabbits was identiﬁed.” He did, however, encourage anyone who witnesses or is involved in a suspicious incident, such as this, to contact police right away. The male recording the video about two weeks ago appears to confront the pair about their behaviour, provoking an aggressive exchange between the two parties. Both dog owners claim in the video that the rabbits have been dumped by parents who bought them for their kids for Easter, so are essentially fair game for their dogs.

The two huskies roaming a neighbourhood in north Richmond and apparently attacking other dogs have been seized by the BC SPCA. The Richmond News reported last month how a man was walking his dog in the Aberdeen area when the pair of huskies ran across the road and went for his on-leash pet. The huskies were also spotted randomly crossing the road, potentially causing danger to busy streets. Earlier this year, the News also reported how two huskies attacked and injured a small dog in Aberdeen Dog Park. However, the BC SPCA conﬁrmed to the News on Tuesday that the

As the war raged, the band played on

mates were in for a bit of a surprise.

Alan Campbell

Does everyone here live in castles?

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“We were loaded into trucks and taken to this castle, where our base was. It had a moat and a drawbridge,” laughed Kellett, who remembered wondering if everyone in Scotland lived in castles.

Playing his heart out on his clarinet, Bud Kellett would steal a glance out to his naval band audience, knowing there was a good chance he may never see some of them again. The Richmond resident knew he was doing his part for the Second World War effort in Britain around 1943, as a member of the in-demand, 60-strong Canadian Navy band. But as he gazed into the crowd at the packed English concert hall, it did little to blunt the harsh realization that the troops in front of him may be enjoying live music for the very last time.

“They sent me back to Victoria, where I joined the HMCS Naden Band and I spent two years there, playing all over B.C. for everyone involved in the war effort.

“Many of the people we were playing for were heading to the front line of the war,” remembered 100-year-old Kellet, a resident at The Maple Residences in Steveston.

Shock announcement at concert

“I understood very acutely that some of them may never come back. “It’s a very odd feeling to realize I’m having the pleasure of doing something for the country and for people who may never see the light of day again. On one hand, it was an honour, on the other, it was very sad. It was very surreal.” Rising star in clarinet Kellett, who will turn 101 in February, said he “gave it his absolute all” at those concerts, given the gravity of the situation facing many in the theatre. “I would always talk to the guys and girls after each concert, we always made a point of that,” explained Kellett, who believes he was about 23 or 24 at the time. Four years earlier, in 1939, Vancouver born and bred Kellett was a rising star in the classical music world in Canada and was preparing to head to the Royal Academy in London to get his “letters,” which

“We were pretty good and I think it did a lot for morale. It seemed to be very important to buck up people’s spirits.”

Richmond’s Bud Kellet got a ﬁne tune out of his clarinet during the Second World War, when he was sent along with his Canadian Navy band (above, right) to boost morale across Britain. Alan Campbell photo would have made him the only person in the country with a degree in clarinet. “I was due to spend six months in London. I didn’t go. It was 1939 and the war started,” Kellett recalled. “I ended up joining the navy in 1941, I think age 21. Before I joined, I looked into it. If you were able to play in the band, you didn’t have to do basic training. “But when I signed in, I got a bit of shock when the ofﬁcer said I had to do it.’ Kellett said he was loaded onto a minesweeper from Victoria to Comox and spent two months in basic training, which “damn near killed me,” laughed Kellett.

But there was one night Kellett said he’ll never forget, while playing Sunday night at the Royal Victoria Theatre. “Our commanding ofﬁcer would always come out and give a little speech at the end,” said Kellett. “He said he had heard a rumour that ‘this band was leaving us for overseas.’ But he said we were so popular, we would be staying here to keep morale up in Canada. “But a week later, we were on our way to Britain. We were not told where. We knew it was Britain, but that was it.” Soon after receiving that news in 1943, and before getting posted overseas, Kellett married the “love of his life,” Margaret Wither, with the couple going on to have two children and two grandchildren. Kellett said, given the secrecy of troop movements, they were not told where in Britain they were going. And when his ship from Halifax sailed into Greenock on the west coast of Scotland, he and his ship-

As it happens, the “castle” was the onshore Canadian Naval base for HMCS Niobe, which used to be the Smithston Institute, which was, history books detail “the local poor house and insane asylum.” “I thought, ‘where the hell am I?” said Kellett. As well as playing in concert halls all over Britain for the next two years, Kellett and his band journeyed south to London one week in a month to make recordings, three storeys underground, due to the bombs dropping. “The recordings were being played on the radio all over the country.” A Bomb signalled the end By the time Kellett and his band returned to Canada, the war was all but over in Europe and he was told to be ready to be posted to China. “But the A bomb went off, so we were all told to stand down but be ready,” Kellett remembered, making reference to the U.S. dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945. “It felt great when the war was over and I was being discharged. No more bloodshed and all the other nonsense that comes with war.” Although Kellett was more than talented enough to make a career out of music, he was lured into the Vancouver Fire Department, where he remained the rest of his working life and ended up a distinguished chief training ofﬁcer until he retired.

“I thought it would be a good idea to put a story to a name that I always saw on the cenotaph.” Richmond resident Jordan Fenske White would always stare at the names etched in the cenotaph when Nov. 11 came around. This year, he hopes to shed light on a particular local First World War veteran ahead of Remembrance Day.

Fenske White, who is a history major at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), came across the name Walter Steeves, a veteran who grew up in Steveston. “I thought why don’t I ﬁnd out about someone who lived in the same area as me, grew up in the same places (100 years ago.)” For a class project, Fenske White looked through documents, diaries and letters to learn about the war, his veteran of choice, and what the First World War was really like.

“Because there were a lot of Canadian conﬂicts that happened across the seas, we didn’t have that at-home connection as much. However, having a name and a story of someone near you really brings the whole narrative home and you realize that the war truly affected people in our country.” He and his classmates were tasked with putting together individual videos highlighting their veterans’ stories and photos during the First World War, which were posted online.

Fenske White told the Richmond News his interest in history, speciﬁcally military history, mainly came from his “strong military family background” of grandfathers, aunts, uncles and his dad. This and his current history course made him understand the need to re-evaluate Canada’s history especially in the First World War, he added. “The First World War … was all about going to war and peacekeeping wasn’t even on the minds of people,” he explained.

Fenske White’s history instructor, Chris Hyland, said the purpose of the class assignment is to create a “deep connection between the past and present” and allow students to participate in “an active exercise of remembrance.” “It’s one thing to sit there and watch the news coverage of the Remembrance Day ceremony, and that’s all well and good, but it’s another thing to actively seek out the veterans of the past and get to know them a little more intimately,” said Hyland.

Army veteran recalls day he walked through no-man’s land to the Croatian ofﬁcer that, if they continued ﬁring, “we would have to reply in kind.

“And he pointed out that behind our position, we have a missile launcher. They didn’t ﬁre anymore.”

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

One minute, Mark Lundie was fast asleep in his Canadian army tent, the next he was walking down an exposed road in noman’s land, directly towards a “defensive” Croatian position.

Lundie, now 49, said he was “armymad,” as a young kid, even before his family immigrated to Canada from Scotland.

Moments earlier, the Steveston native — while serving in Croatia in 1993 as a reservist in a Canadian-led United Nations (UN) peacekeeping force — was awoken by bullets raining down on his UN tent. “We ﬁred back and they stopped ﬁring,” recalled Lundie, before setting off on his breakfast “walk” to question the Croatians.

Steveston’s Mark Lundie (second left) with his Canadian peace-keeping force in Croatia in 1993. and why are we doing this?’” The Croatian position, said Lundie, was protected by berm, while his entourage was relatively defenceless, save for riﬂes.

He was one of four soldiers strolling the 400 metres to the origin of the gunﬁre, to ask the Croatians why they were shooting at his platoon, which was only there to separate the warring Croats and Serbians.

“We started speaking German to them, as most of them could speak that. We told them to get their commander to ask why they were shooting at us.”

“As I was walking down, all I could think about was that I didn’t have time to put socks on,” he said.

Apparently, the ofﬁcer popped his head up, only to claim it “wasn’t his guys, it was the other brigade,” laughed Lundie.

“I remember thinking, ‘this is ridiculous,

Lundie said his sergeant bluntly explained

He said he was 10 when he joined the cadets in Canada, but was drawn to the army as a 13-year-old, after seeing “a guy on a bus wearing a kilt with army gear.” And while still in high school, at 16, Lundie joined the reserve regiment Seaforth Highlanders in Vancouver. Several years later, in 1993, he was deployed to Croatia, voluntarily joining forces with the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. They were initially tasked with keeping the peace in northern Croatia, in the midst of that country’s “Operation Medak Pocket,” in which the Croats sought to push the Serbians out of a disputed region, resulting in war crimes amid “ethnic cleansing.” There was never a dull moment, re-

called Lundie, including one time when his 35-strong platoon was held hostage for 18 hours by a large mob of Serbian soldiers.

“We were doing a patrol in a Serb area. They weren’t happy with a previous deployment seizing equipment,” said Lundie. “They even put their kids underneath the tracks of our armoured vehicles to stop us from moving. They kind of ambushed us. “They climbed on top of our vehicles and tried to take off our heavy weapons. “We couldn’t let them do that, so it basically devolved into a big punch-up. We were well outnumbered.” Eventually, the two sides’ commanding ofﬁcers, after a long meeting, came to an agreement and the platoon was set free. Still serving in the Seaforth Highlanders, now a Master Warrant Ofﬁcer, Lundie has made a successful career with the RCMP, where he is a sergeant at E-Division HQ. And in that role he spent a year in Afghanistan, in 2011, as an Afghan National Police counter terrorism advisor. Search Lundie for full story and more photos at Richmond-News.com

There is a plaque on the wall at Richmond Secondary School that’s a tangible reminder to its students that young people — not much older than themselves — fought and died in the First and Second World Wars. Meimei Roth, who’s in Grade 12, said for the ﬁrst few years she attended Richmond

Secondary, she hardly noticed the wooden plaque.

“These are heroes who sacriﬁced their lives for our future,” Roth said about the people behind the names on the plaque. A memory or a story can be passed on, but the plaque is a “physical embodiment” of the stories of Richmond High students who served their country during both world wars, explained fellow Grade 19 12 student Kadin Raza.

Many thought war ‘would be an adventure in Europe’

“It can’t be forgotten if it’s physically in our hallways and we can see it in our everyday lives,” he said.

“Even I could be ‘oh, that could be fun,’” Raza said. “But if you take the counterpoint and actually talk about what could happen to you, it’s completely different.”

For Raza, who has family members who were in the war, the plaque is a reminder it could have been him going off to war.

“I think they definitely under-estimated the difficulties of actually going in — they just threw themselves in and thought, it’ll be fine, it’ll be an adventure in Europe,” Roth added. “But unfortunately, that’s not how it ended.”

While young people his age today are thinking about their post-secondary education and what job they’ll have in the future, the young people of the war generation were marching off to ﬁght and possibly lose their lives on the frontlines of battle. “It seems like a distant nightmare,” Raza said. Raza pointed out that those going to the First and Second World Wars were so young, they probably weren’t thinking much about death. But if society “markets” the war as an adventure, he could see its appeal to young men, he added.

The names of those students from Richmond Secondary (or Richmond High as it was called then) who died in the wars are also reﬂected on street names in Richmond, adorned with poppies to remind drivers of their sacriﬁces. “Every time I drive by and there are the poppies, it makes me think … about the lives of those people and their families, too, as well as their legacies,” Raza said. Roth and Raza are co-emceeing the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

100 years of poppies Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A red Remembrance Day poppy is free — it’s already been paid for by the blood of Canadian soldiers, explained Matthew McBride, chair of the Richmond Poppy Fund. The poppy campaign does, however, collect voluntary donations and these go to support veterans in the community. But the important thing is to wear a poppy to commemorate those who served, explained the Richmond poppy campaign volunteers.

fundraiser to rebuild France after the war. She also presented the idea to France’s allies, including to the Canadian Great War Veterans Association, which later become the Royal Canadian Legion. 21

We Shall Remember Them..

Red symbol not political, religious: McBride

The idea was adopted in Canada on July 6, 1921.

The impact of the First World War was profound on Canadian society, McBride said, as eight per cent of the population was in uniform. “Every family had a reason to remember,” he said. The red symbolizes spilled blood and the black centre symbolizes mourning. The poppy isn’t political, religious or ethnic, McBride said, it’s just a personal way of remembering Canadians who died in service to their country. For legion volunteer Martin Nystad, the poppy has a deeper meaning than any

other current “branding.” The poppy represents people and a country, not a product, Nystad said. Nystad thinks about, not just the soldiers like his father who served in the Second World War, but those who supported the army, like the nurses who saved his father’s life, or the paramedics in the ambulances on the frontlines. Nystad warns against romanticizing the military “because war stinks.” “I’ve never served in a war, but coming from a family of a veteran that’s seen combat, I can see the hell it does to a human being’s mind — physical, mental, emotional health,”

A21

Nystad said. “I’ve seen that blank stare.” “Nobody comes out of the service without a mark,” McBride added. Every year the poppy campaign in Richmond raises between $40,000 and $60,000 to support veterans, for example, to buy them scooters, hearing aids or to get them a support dog. Nystad encourages Richmond residents, especially those who are retired and wanting to give back to their community, to volunteer with the poppy campaign next year.

War veteran still hoping to see ‘the Bombe’ Nono Shen

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Scenes of joyful crowds celebrating in the streets, clutching newspapers declaring the war over is how the end of the Second World War is often depicted, but for Richmondite Walter Tyrrell there was no hoopla. He just calmly packed his bag and returned to Beaufort, a small town in Victoria, Australia. “It felt like a regular day,” said Tyrell, 95, who joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1944 at 18 and served at a radar station in North Queensland, Australia, for one year until the war ended in 1945. “We packed everything and left the station. Then, I went back (to Beaufort) to farm,” Tyrell recalls.

A special thank you We proudly ho onour our veterans on n this Remembrance e Day Richmond Funeral Home by Arbor Memorial

While Tyrell only served for a year, it was memorable and as Remembrance Day approaches, he dons his military uniform, replete with medals, including one featuring the profile of King George V (the medal recognizes all ranks of Canadians who served in a theatre of war, even if they were not serving with the Canadian military). Born in Blackfalds, Alta., in 1926, Tyrrell moved with his family to Australia in 1939 where they bought a farm. His parents soon regretted the move as the farm was not financially viable. They wanted to return to Canada but by then the war had broken out and there were no passenger ships available, recalled Tyrrell. At age 16, Tyrrell was required to start training in the Australian Air Training Corps, where he said they did rifle drills using sand instead of bullets for practice.

“I was a bit scared,” laughed Tyrrell. Regardless, he completed two years of training and in 1944 joined the Royal Australian Air Force. He was transferred to North Queensland, Australia, where he worked in a shack monitoring the radio system. Tyrrell said he didn’t realize how cruel the war was until he arrived in Sydney and saw released prisoners who had been tortured, many had had their tongues or eyes cut out. Tyrrell and his family ﬁnally returned home to Canada in 1946 where he joined the RCMP. He worked at various detachments until he was transferred to Richmond in 1976, where he remained until retirement. But, even at 95, it’s not the end of the road for Tyrrell. He hopes to one day travel to Britain to see the famous codebreaking machine, the Bombe. The electro-mechanical device was used by the British to help decipher the German’s Enigma-encrypted secret message during the Second World War.

Couple hosting men’s clothing drive for homeless shelter “They took us on a little tour of the room that holds the clothing and they had no clothing to offer to males,” Angela told the Richmond News.

“They told us that some of the men are wearing women’s clothing just because that’s all they have to offer.

A Richmond couple is organizing a men’s clothing drive, after witnessing a drastic shortage during a visit to a homeless shelter in the city. Next Saturday, Nov. 13, Angela and Chris Dinnell will host the event at Quilchena elementary in west Richmond to coincide with World Kindness Day. The Dinnells felt they needed to help after recently dropping into the busy shelter at the old Minoru Seniors Centre. While getting shown around by a member of staff, it became acutely apparent that the shelter occupants — the vast ma-

Urban Bounty wants more access to community gardens they think would make the plots more accessible.

Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Plans to make Richmond community gardens more accessible are being brought to the table by a local non-proﬁt. Urban Bounty, previously known as Richmond Food Security Society, is working with the City of Richmond to increase accessibility at local community gardens in order to make them more inclusive for those with mobility challenges or disabilities. Wider paths, concrete ﬂoors instead of wood chips, signs with braille, table top plots and raised plots are on the list of features being discussed, according to Grace Augustinowicz, urban agricultural programs manager at Urban Bounty. “The more inclusive the gardens are, the more welcoming it is for the community,” said Augustinowicz, adding that the gardens are safe places where people of different “cultural backgrounds, ages and abilities come together.” Urban Bounty is also asking for the public’s opinion through a survey on what

“We want to make sure we are reaching the broader community that need the accessibility.” While the non-profit aims to have the new accessible features put in place for the 200 new community garden plots coming to Garden City Lands — estimated to be completed by next spring — Augustinowicz conceded that timing may not work. “Right now we are doing all the leg work and research to put together a system for all the community gardens. If the timing doesn’t work for the community gardens at Garden City Lands, we will definitely have them put in place for the upcoming year with future garden extensions in 2022.” There is an extensive waitlist for garden plots in Richmond, Augustinowicz told the Richmond News. Currently, more than 680 people are waiting to secure a community garden plot. The high demand is helping motivate the non-profit to bring the new garden features to the community, she added.

“The room with clothes was pretty much empty, aside for old dress shirts, which there’s not much need for. “Chris and I would like to change that and we have set up a donation drive, strictly for men’s clothing and warm gear for winter.” Angela said the focus will be on gentlyused comfort clothing, such as jackets, vests, toques, scarves, mittens, boots, shoes, pants, sweaters, hoodies and

sweatpants. Socks and underwear, however, need to be new. She added that they’re not looking for cash donations, rather, they’d prefer people went to Value Village and bought the clothes that are needed. The couple is renting a U-Haul trailer to take to Quilchena next Saturday, Nov. 13, for the drive from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. “We’re going to ask people to come down and drop stuff off. We’re going to have boxes in the back of the U-Haul to separate the clothes into pants, shirts, sweaters and so on,” said Angela, adding that they will be handing out free coffee and donuts to donors.

Steveston resident ‘geek’ tweeting about ships along the Fraser Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Fishing boats, ferries and container ships are just some of the vessels you might see passing by Steveston along the Fraser River. Those are also some of the various watercrafts that Steveston resident Leighton Matthews has taken to photographing and sharing on his recently launched Twitter account @StevestonShips. Launching the account “just kind of made sense,” he said, given his fascination with ships, love of photography and his proximity to the water. “When I see all the ships, from the ferries to container ships to the ﬁshing boats, I see commerce and I see this vital part of the economy, and the waterways that have provided employment for people doing all manner of things,” he said. Matthews also uses a vessel ﬁnder app to track the ships’ courses, which he said adds further perspective to “how incredibly connected we are to this system, this supply chain.”

He said he’s hoping there are some people out there who either “just enjoy some pretty photos” or who want to “geek along” about ships with him. Matthews said he was drawn to B.C. Ferries growing up, which put him on the path to having such an interest. While he has lived in Steveston for 16 years, it wasn’t until he moved to a place “right by the water” in the Imperial Landing area that he really noticed the amount of activity up and down the river, and began “taking pictures like crazy,” venturing out daily (weather permitting). “There’s such a variety of interesting shipping and watercraft of all sorts. I mean, we see everything from paddle boarders to jet skis to sailboats, to ﬁshing boats — which of course is the heart of why Steveston exists — to cargo ferries and B.C. Ferries going up and down the river,” Matthews said. There are also the “enormous skyscraper-sized” container ships that ﬁll your view, he said. Search Leighton for full story at Richmond-News.com

Fencer lunges to second straight gold pride in his and the rest of the team’s success.

Elizabeth Douglas

“There’s no monetary amount that you could put on the success of our athletes. That feeling of having an athlete win such a large competition, that’s the best feeling you can have as a coach,” said Gantsevich.

GLACIER MEDIA

In the world of fencing, the North American Cups are the biggest competitions on the continent — boasting hundreds of athletes per event.

What stood out for Gantsevich about the competition was not just that Zhang won, but that he was able to withstand the pressure of competing in such a difﬁcult event.

So, to win a second back-to-back North American Cup gold medal in any one of those events is no small feat. But that’s exactly what Richmond’s Nicholas Zhang, 15, did last weekend in St. Louis, Missouri. Zhang competed in the under 18 men’s epee event, going up against 220 other athletes from across the continent. He won the same event for the first time back in July in Salt Lake City, Utah. “The first time I won [in July], it was like all the training from years before came up to this one moment,” said Zhang. “Now I’m unsatisfied because I know that I can win once. I can win twice — I want to win a third time.”

Richmond fencing club brings home hardware from St. Louis. From left, Igor Gantsevich, Nicholas Zhang and Charles St-Hilaire. Igor Gantsevich, coach at Dynamo Fencing Club in Richmond, said Zhang’s potential comes from more than talent. “The one common thing with kids like [Zhang] is work ethic. Their talent is the willingness to work hard,” said Gantsevich. As Zhang’s coach, Gantsevich takes great

Showing up

men’s epee event.

For Zhang, fencing has been a passion since he started at the age of eight, alongside many other extracurricular activities such as piano, soccer and basketball. Now, seven years into his young athletic career, Zhang trains ﬁve days a week, often with two training sessions per day — all while navigating Grade 10 at Sentinel Secondary School in West Vancouver.

Zhang credits his composure to early training.

“Time is one of the biggest factors with this training schedule, I often stay up quite late just trying to ﬁnish my schoolwork,” said Zhang.

“We do practice tournaments on Sundays at Dynamo and those are really helpful trainings,” said Zhang.

“Sometimes I’m too tired to even pick up my pencil, but I know that the hard work will pay off later.”

“Igor helps us simulate a lot of intense situations. Of course, it isn’t the same as a real competition, but it does help us get ready for them.”

Gantsevich said he predicts Zhang will have many offers from American universities if he continues to produce good fencing results and works hard in school.

This preparation proved beneﬁcial for Dynamo Fencing Club with two 5th place results for Adam Wong, 16, in under 18 men’s epee and foil, as well as a 9th place ﬁnish for Fynn Fafard, 21, in an over 20

For now, Zhang and many other Dynamo teammates will be focusing on their preparation for the upcoming Canadian National Championships in Montreal, as well as the next North American Cup in Ohio.

McNair alumnus shines at softball nationals

Seniors Independent Living 604-277-4519 | themapleresidences.com

It has been quite a season for 21-year-old Richmond resident and McNair secondary alumnus Kasey Wright.

PUZZLE ANSWER IN CLASSIFIEDS

The softball star has had an amazing year on the ﬁeld, racking up multiple individual and team honours along the way. Wright started her season in the winter, co-coaching a Penticton-based U-14A girls rep softball team that would eventually medal in their 2021 provincials.

Kasey Wright has racked up multiple awards this season.

In the spring, she then joined her mom, Karen, on the Richmond-based Steveston Athletics Women’s Fastpitch club — forming the only active mother/daughter duo in competitive fastpitch in B.C.

heading into the WCSA playoff championships in Calgary in October, where they went undefeated to capture their ﬁrst championship, with Wright being awarded the WCSA Leadership award and First Team All-Star outﬁelder at their annual awards.

Wright, a centerﬁelder, and her Steveston teammates coasted through their provincials undefeated and won the gold with an 11-4 victory over the Richmond Mustangs.

And a week later, the Heat sailed through the round-robin section of the Canadian Collegiate National Championships in Kelowna, to earn a shot at gold.

Wright then headed back to UBC Okanagan in Kelowna in the fall to start her third year with the UBCO Heat softball program.

St. Clair were the opposition and Wright, once more, made a signiﬁcant contribution to the Heat’s dramatic extra innings winner, courtesy of Ladner product Nevada Johnson, who singled late on.

The Heat earned the number-one seed

Rev. Kimberley Evans Life-Cycle Celebrant®

HARLAND, Lily (Lillian) (nee Chorkawy) September 2, 1928 - October 24, 2021 With great sadness we announce the passing of “Auntie” Lillian Harland at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, BC. She was predeceased by her parents Andrew and Bernice Chorkawy. In her final days she was comforted by her family and is lovingly remembered by her sister Sonya Yalowsky of Winnipeg, nephew Neil (Diane) of Surrey and his children Michael (Stephanie) and Richard, her niece Andrea (Dave) of Winnipeg and her daughter Tiffany (Colin). She loved her family dearly and was happiest when talking and sharing a home cooked meal with them. Auntie was a wonderful cook and made the best BBQ spareribs and chocolate cake. She was an avid gardener and always had a yard filled with flowers and loved growing tomatoes and other vegetables she could harvest and share with her family. Auntie was born and raised in Winnipeg’s North End and graduated from Sir Isaac Newton in 1945. In early adulthood, she enjoyed social gatherings and celebrations with her friends. She married Roy Harland and lived in Fort Rouge on Montgomery Avenue, along with her dog Jonesy. Sadly, she and Roy divorced and she moved to the Lower Mainland in 1975. She purchased a home in Richmond in 1979, where she lived with her mother. She worked for the Provincial Education Media Center for many years before retiring in 1988. After her mother’s passing, she moved to South Surrey in 1996. She was an active member of the Rotary Club of White Rock from 2003 - 2010. She cherished her many childhood, school, workplace and neighborhood friends and often recalled all the fond memories she shared with them.

KERR, James (Jim)

James was born in Glasgow, Scotland where he lived until 1975, before taking on the great adventure of a move to Canada. Settling in Richmond, he worked for Canadian Airlines before retiring. During his retirement he golfed and travelled, but his happiest hours were those spent with family and in his garden, tending the lawn and caring for the roses. He was very grateful to Dr. McCreary for his care over the years and to the teams at Richmond General and Rotary Hospice who cared for him in his last months and days. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Parkinson’s Society. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held on Sunday, November 14th, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at Mylora Golf Course, 9911 Sidaway Road, Richmond BC. Masks, ID, and Covid Vaccine proof will be required, please.

LOST LOST: A very special silver heart shaped pendant with 4 paw prints on it, on Nov 8th at either Richmond Centre or Blundell Centre. If found please call 604-813-3431

December 24, 1938 - October 29, 2021 It is with sadness that we announce the death of James (Jim) Kerr after a long battle with Parkinsons. He passed away peacefully at Rotary Hospice after a lengthy hospital stay. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Cathie, daughter Marie (Simon), son Jim (Maureen), granddaughters Frances (Ryan), Emily (Carter) and Sarah, great grandchildren Hadley, Stella, Holly and Huxley, as well as his brother Joe, and sisters Mary and Rosaleen, and many beloved in-laws and nieces and nephews.
