It’s a truly disturbing story: A 14-year-old girl is beaten unconscious inside a school by a 17-year-old male student.

I’d like to say this happened in some crazy American town, but I can’t. This horrific event happened in front of the main office of Richmond’s Hugh Boyd secondary. (See page 5) By the way, I say “crazy American town,” knowing full well we have our own share of youth violence. The day we published the Richmond story, seven students from an Edmonton school were charged with second-degree murder in the death of another student.

But back to Richmond, the incident happened Thursday over lunch. Friday morning an understandably enraged father notified us and sent us pictures of his badly beaten daughter lying in a hospital bed.

We published the story a couple of hours

later — although it was already blowing up on social media.

Richmond RCMP has since said it’s working with the school district “to ensure the safety and well-being of all those affected.”

Meanwhile, school authorities have released statements about creating a safe and inclusive school community.

You can read the whole story inside, but the question now is where do we go from here? How do we truly create safer, more caring and inclusive schools?

Along with being beaten, the girl has said her attacker uttered racist and homophobic comments. If that’s the case, it adds yet another element to the whole ugly mess.

I don’t envy the Richmond school district or Boyd’s administration right now. They have a big job in front of them in explaining how this could have happened and reassuring parents and students that, in fact, the school is safe and inclusive.

I’m not sure how they plan to do that, but my unsolicited advice is that they, not only

good idea to just hop over the whole due process nonsense and get straight to punishment — and the more severe the better.

I don’t doubt this is being taken seriously, but even those of us who don’t have kids at Boyd want to see evidence of that.

When we write allegedly, we’re not saying the incident didn’t happen. We’re saying we didn’t see it first-hand and there may be factors we’re not aware of. Maybe there aren’t, but the point is we just don’t know. The point may best hit home if we all took a minute to imagine what it would be like if it was our kid who was accused of a violent assault.

That said, the kind of evidence I’m looking for has nothing to do with how harshly the alleged attacker is going to be dealt with — in fact, quite the opposite. ...which brings me to comments on social media.

While most comments on our Facebook post about the story have been expressions of sadness and support for the victim, we’ve also seen plenty of the old string-himup comments.

I get the anger and outrage, but the nameand-shame vigilante attitude is disturbing.

I’m particularly sick of the “give him a little jailhouse justice” comment.

What’s also worrying is the fact some are taking us to task for using the world “allegedly.” They seem to think it would be a

This is not about foregoing consequences for outrageous behavior. However, it is about checking the kind of vile attitude some think they’re entitled to in the name of justice and inclusion.

It’s about living our beliefs and “being” the inclusion and anti-hate we claim to want. It’s not about having a kid drawn and quartered in the town square.

If we’re going to talk about inclusion and anti-hate, we need to think about what that actually looks like, particularly when kids truly test the limits.

Councillor apologizes Blacks face racism Dear Editor,

Re: “Richmond councillor’s public hearing comments ‘insulting’, says resident,” Online, April 21 (See story on page 6) I want to apologize to Ms. Gillanders and any others who misunderstood and took exception to my recent comment regarding public hearings.

As a councillor, I have supported the public hearing process for eight years and will continue to do so. I will also continue to listen to all residents on all land use matters.

Key to this issue is “needing” a public hearing versus “wanting” one. The province recently declared public hearings were not needed if a project complies with the municipality’s Official Community Plan (OCP).

This was to avoid projects being delayed or scrapped due to location, despite fitting within the OCP. Council, however, voted unanimously to keep public hearings. They are an important step in creating and maintaining good relationships between neighbours.

They ensure we can hear concerns from the community about a development, and make

sure it is functional and acceptable to the neighbourhood. Public hearings are not intended to brainstorm new land uses beyond those defined in the OCP.

At the meeting, my comment that only one resident of the Smith Road project came forward — and whose concerns about flooding were addressed — was not dismissive of other delegates.

I would like to have heard more from local residents near the project, as it is important that decisions not be made solely on the views of those outside the impacted community.

Dear Editor,

been across this country, no question.

“Black Canadian faced more racism in Richmond than elsewhere,” Online, April 25 (see story on page 10).

This is why I have a hard time being sympathetic to the assertion of anti-Asian racism.

No mistake, that is a correct observation.

Vancouver, Richmond and the Lower Mainland are the most racist places I have ever

Because I have rubbed elbows and worked hard next to people in these communities and I see how they treat each other in

our country.

That this Black Canadian experienced this in Richmond surprises no one.

Consider that in the larger context of our so-called “post nation.”

Mitch Holder

I am confident that Richmond residents do not support a “right project, wrong place” attitude and retaining the public hearing process will ensure all residents have a voice.

Richmond is undertaking a review of our OCP. I encourage everyone to register at LetsTalkRichmond.ca to be a part of this and all public consultation, to read the OCP on the city website and to continue to bring your voices forward to council, through public hearings or by contacting us directly.

Girl, 14, wary about school return after vicious beating Janice Xie, at home this week with her father, Tim Sorensen. She was beaten unconscious last week by an older male student in an apparently unprovoked attack at Hugh Boyd. secondary.

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It has been almost a week since 14-year-old Janice Xie was set upon for no apparent reason by a 17-year-old male student inside Hugh Boyd Secondary.

Janice said she was subjected to homophobic and racist slurs, before being beaten unconscious last Thursday lunchtime — right outside the school’s main office — after she said the boy mistakenly thought she had said something about another girl liking him.

Thankfully, some other students and a member of staff intervened to bring the attack to a halt as the stricken Grade 9 girl lay on the ground.

She was taken to hospital for treatment and the boy was arrested shortly afterwards by police, before being released back into the care “of his guardian.” He remains suspended by the school while the RCMP investigation continues.

Unsurprisingly, Janice has not been back to school since the shocking incident, but she’s hoping to return next week so she doesn’t miss any more exams.

Talking from her home on Wednesday, Janice told the Richmond News how she was following doctors’ orders to rest and has been sleeping on and off most days since the attack.

Janice said she has been comforted by a wave of support from her friends, but is wary about going back.

“I was told I would heal faster (if she slept),” said the teenager.

“I want to go back next week; I have to keep my marks up. I already missed one test.”

“It’s a little scary…I’m worried about the guy’s friends doing something. Some of his friends are saying I’m the one who started it.”

A spokesperson for the Richmond School District said the school administration “attended to this incident immediately” and that a “student immediately called the parents and notified the school administration that she had done so.”

Janice’s father, Tim Sorensen, said last week that his daughter is “more solid than I could imagine and she seems OK. But she is more like, ‘what happened?’ She wasn’t expecting this.”

He said his daughter does have some martial arts training and did try to fend him off, but she was caught totally off guard.

Sorensen said he trusts the police will deal with the matter accordingly, adding that he hopes it’s not “just going to be a slap on the wrist? A male hitting a female? What’s that about?”

Although confirming the arrest and investigation, Richmond RCMP said it couldn’t release any more details due to privacy concerns and the confines of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. “We recognize that these types of incidents can have a detrimental effect on an entire school community,” said Cpl. Ian Henderson, of Richmond RCMP. “Richmond RCMP’s Victim Services personnel and School Liaison Officers are engaged and working with the Richmond School District to ensure the safety and well-being of all those affected.”

3-wheeled car parked Illegal ride-hailing sting at Canada Line station nets $18,000 in fines and change a tire. That place where they parked is quite far from the road too,” reads a response to the post.

Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

In general, many people were not surprised with the scene as several vehicles have parked illegally outside Richmond Brighouse station before.

A vehicle was once again spotted parked outside a Richmond Canada Line Station this week.

According to a Facebook post, a van was parked outside Richmond’s Aberdeen Skytrain Station on Saturday afternoon.

Others have taken the opportunity to take a jab at what could’ve happened with the missing wheel.

The post with the photo was uploaded onto the Facebook page “Richmond Learns to Park and Drive.”

This SUV was abandoned outside the Aberdeen Canada Line station.

“Seems like a good place to get your car fixed,” read the post.

The van was parked next to the benches, just outside the entrance of the station, but many social media users

noticed that one of its wheels was missing.

“Of all the places to park

One person suggested that the driver of the vehicle may have taken the tire and rode the train to have it repaired.

While another said it’s a way to deter their car being stolen.

Thirty tickets and almost $18,000 in fines were handed out to illegal ride-hailing drivers in Richmond in a recent sting.

Another sting was done a few weeks later, but the city hasn’t compiled the numbers from that one yet, however, “it was also successful in identifying illegal operators,” explained Richmond city spokesperson Clay Adams.

These stings targeting illegal ride-hailing were done by the City of Richmond, in partnership with the Passenger Transportation Branch (PTB) and Transit Police.

Ride-hailing companies develop apps and hire drivers to use them illegally by providing rides. However, it’s the driv-

Adams told the Richmond News the city is doing stings regularly, and will be reporting back to city council’s community safety meeting in the coming weeks.

The News recently tested out the illegal ride-hailing system in Richmond, and two reporters quickly got rides with Raccoon Go and UDI-X, both of which are not permitted to operate in B.C. Ride-hailing companies must have a permit from the PTB and a valid business licence. They must give monthly updates of every new vehicle operating with their company.

Furthermore, ride-hailing drivers need to have a Class 4 driver’s licence and undergo a vulnerable-persons criminal record check.

Councillor’s public hearing comment ‘insulting’: Richmond resident about increasing density and zoning more land for rentals.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

One member of the public told Richmond city council she felt it was “insulting” hearing the message that public hearings didn’t necessarily need to be held.

Last week, city council was holding a public hearing on a Hamilton development as well as on one in the Spires Road area — members of the public spoke

Coun. Alexa Loo pointed out some people who came to speak about the Hamilton project didn’t even live in the neighbourhood, rather, they lived in Steveston and City Centre.

She referenced the fact the province recently passed a law allowing the city to forgo public hearings when projects meet the Official Community Plan (OCP).

“This (Hamilton proposal) meets

the OCP — we could have actually not had the public hearing,” Loo said.

The proposal was for 34 townhouses on Smith Crescent to replace three single-family homes, and Loo said the public hearing was to hear concerns from people in the neighbourhood.

“It seems to me nobody is here from that neighbourhood who’s asking for more or less density,” Loo said, adding local residents seem happy with the community

plan.

“We don’t need to suddenly flipflop on the whole community that is trusting us to stick to our plan,” Loo said.

Later in the meeting, advocating for more rental and density on the Spires Road item, Laura Gillanders took exception with Loo’s comment that there wasn’t a need to hold a public hearing.

from you, we could have just said don’t come,’” Gillanders said.

In fact, ironically, the bylaw to continue holding public hearings was on the same Tuesday agenda — it passed unanimously.

This will mean city council will continue public hearings as a default, but will keep the option to waive them if a proposed development complies with the OCP.

Cops zoom Single women, moms get new home in on porch Vikki Hui pirate

The YWCA received funding from BC Housing’s HousingHub program to buy the homes from Keltic Development. The units were made available through Richmond’s Low-End Market Rental program, which aims to create affordable housing within new multi-family developments.

VHUI@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A porch pirate caught in the act on camera in Richmond has been identified by the RCMP. Richmond RCMP reached out to the Richmond News last week after seeing our online story about the brazen theft from a fully-occupied home in the neighbourhood near Kidd Elementary, close to Steveston Highway and Shell Road.

The homeowner, Jennifer Gordon, not wanting to bother police with the relatively minor theft of packages, didn’t report the incident.

However, once contacted by the RCMP, the News connected police with Gordon so the case can proceed.

The theft happened on the evening of April 5, at around 9:45 p.m. about 90 minutes after the parcels had been dropped off, despite the entire family being home and with several vehicles in the driveway.

The homeowner believes the parcels were dropped off about 8:15 p.m. the same evening. The entire incident was captured on the family’s doorbell camera (pictured above).

Twenty-seven new affordable rental homes at the heart of Richmond are now available for single women and women with children.

And affordable here, means $1,569 for a three-bedroom unit.

The YWCA Moiz and Nadia Place — at 6320 and 6328 No. 3 Rd., just a few yards south of the Brighouse Canada Line station — is part of the Paramount development and is owned and operated by YWCA Metro Vancouver.

The rental housing is the YWCA’s first housing project in Richmond, one of the most unaffordable housing markets in Canada, according to recent data.

For the first time, the YWCA is offering studio and one-bedroom units in addition to their usual two- and three-bedroom units.

According to YWCA, the monthly rents are below market rate and range from $860 for studio units to $1,569 for threebedroom units.

“A few months ago, I found myself being out in the rental market, which was just not affordable for me to stay,” said Cariappa.

“I reached out to the YWCA, and fortunately enough, I found a place right here in this building.

“Richmond is home for me. I actually lived in Steveston for 12 years, and my oldest kid graduated from my elementary school, Manoah Steves. So this is home.

This will always be home.”

Residents will have full access to the development’s amenities, which include a landscaped courtyard, an outdoor play area, a children’s learning centre and library, a multi-purpose exercise room and meeting rooms.

Currently, half of the units are occupied, and there is an ongoing waitlist. Rupert said that applications can take as quick as a day to get approved after the applicant is interviewed and documents are reviewed.

More racism faced here than anywhere Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Clive Clarke is sympathetic to Asian Canadians who have experienced racism in Richmond.

He stands with the “Stop AntiAsian Hate” protesters who were outside Richmond Provincial Court last month drawing attention to the case inside involving racial slurs and coffee thrown at an Asian server in a Steveston coffee shop.

Micro aggressions are most common, he explained to the News, “the look, the attitude and the body language.

“I could walk through the mall, and if you walked a few yards behind me, you could see the difference between if I walked by a Caucasian person or go stand beside a Chinese person.”

feelings

To decry anti-Asian hate then turn around and treat people of other ethnicities with disdain or distrust, is “quite hypocritical,” he added.

Although Clarke calls himself a proud Canadian with Jamaican roots, he said he’s experienced more racism in Richmond than anywhere else he’s lived — including five years in the U.S.

Clarke said it’s important to look at the cultural context for certain attitudes, pointing to the anti-Black racism in China that has garnered international attention lately.

And most of that racism has come at the hands of people from the local Asian community.

Richmond city councillor Chak Au agreed that racism exists within the Chinese community.

However, he said he believed it was often not intentional.

“I totally understand this gentleman’s frustrations,” said Yan. “However, sometimes it’s not about being Black; it’s about the whiteness. White preference has a long history in Asia, stemming back to ancient China and Japan.”

A lighter skin tone was seen as

noble and aristocratic because only the socially and economically privileged could sustain a life of relative seclusion and not be subjected to harsh elements, Yan explained.

Many immigrants from China and other Asian countries continue to associate a lighter skin colour with the “money, power and respect, which many are longing for,” Yan added.

Yan also pointed out that in the Chinese language and culture, racial terms or even slurs based on skin colour are repeatedly and persistently used as a reference to people’s ethnicity, which can reinforce existing prejudices, said Yan. But regardless of history or cultural context, Yan said racism within the Asian community needs to be confronted.

“Being a victim doesn’t make you immune to being a perpetrator,” he added.

“We need to admit mistakes and take risks to defeat it; these are hopeful signs for the future.”

A name associated with colonialism will be removed from Richmond’s Terra Nova neighbourhood.

Trutch Avenue will be renamed to Point Avenue to honour former B.C. lieutenantgovernor Steven Point, who was the first Indigenous person to hold this office.

Point was a resident of Steveston and has close ties to Richmond, explained Mayor Malcolm Brodie when he made the announcement at Monday’s council meeting.

Point served as lieutenant-governor from 2007 to 2012.

Joseph Trutch, the first lieutenant-governor of B.C., was known for his contempt for First Nations and actively worked against land claims, undoing the work of James Douglas.

In fact, Trutch reduced some First Nations reserves by up to 90 per cent.

Already in 1971, a B.C. journal described Trutch’s racist attitudes toward Indigenous people.

Trutch spoke with open contempt for Indigenous people, calling them the “ugliest & laziest creatures” he’d seen, as documented by Robin Fisher’s article “Joseph Trutch and Indian Land Policy” in BC Studies.

The City of Victoria brought up the issue of Trutch’s name in 2018, and in February that city’s Trutch Street was renamed “Su’it Street,” a Lekwungen word meaning “truth.”

Vancouver is also planning to rename Trutch Street, located on that city’s west side.

NEWS People wait five hours for passport

People eager to travel abroad now that COVID-19 restrictions have eased might need more patience as long line-ups outside the Richmond passport office are keeping hopeful travellers grounded.

A11

Sign up for our newsletter at richmond-news.com The massive line-up Monday snaked down Cooney Road with people waiting for up to five hours just to get in the doors.

One person emerging from the office said they had waited five hours to

get in and another hour once inside the office.

Richmondite Grace Chow said her patience and energy were quickly fading after standing in line for four hours.

“I’ve never waited so

long for anyone in my life,” sighed Chow, hoping to get her passport renewed for a vacation in Hawaii.

On March 31, the federal government warned that “with the easing of COVID-19 travel restric-

tions demand for passports — both new and renewals — had started to increase.”

The News reached out to Service Canada for more details, only to discover its voicemail boxes are full.

Developer reneging, a ‘good compromise’

Sign up for our newsletter at richmond-news.com Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A developer wants to re-

nege on its side of a bargain with the city, and two councillors are calling that a “good compromise.”

An office tower developer

was given a “density bonus” in exchange for creating large offices in the Aberdeen area — something city staff say is needed in City Centre.

floor would be divided into two units but the other three floors would have offices as small as 650 square feet.

(Four floors are proposed for retail, not office.)

But now the developer, Bene (No. 3) Road Development, is asking to keep the additional density but create small office units.

Au said he supports the “spirit” of the large-office policy, but called the revised plan a “good compromise,” adding no one could have predicted the changes

At last week’s planning meeting, Couns. Andy Hobbs and Chak Au both spoke in favour of allowing the compromise to be approved, despite the fact it didn’t comply with a City Centre policy and city staff recommended not approving it.

Hobbs called the revised proposal a “reasonable compromise,” although he noted he’s argued in the past to stick to policy.

“But I think it’s also the role of council to make reasonable exceptions and discretionary decisions with regard to policy and that’s our role, and I think staff and council working together can achieve that,” Hobbs said about the development at No. 3 and Leslie roads, across the street from Superstore.

The original plan was to have one large office on each of the six top floors of the building.

A few weeks ago, the developer proposed scrapping any unit-size restrictions, but still wanted to keep the extra floor that was granted as a “bonus.”

“Effectively, the applicant was requesting the ability to keep the additional density granted without having to fulfill the primary condition (i.e., creation of large floorplate leasable office space) that was secured in exchange for the increase in density,” reads the city staff report.

The planning committee didn’t approve that and last week the developer came back with a revised proposal of two floors of large units, and the other four floors broken up into smaller units.

One of the remaining four

The applicant was requesting...to keep the additional density granted without having to fulfill the primary condition.

CITY STAFF that have happened over the past few years, ostensibly referring to the COVID-19 pandemic when many offices shut down as people worked from home.

“This kind of mix would be a good compromise in response to market changes,” Au said.

The general manager of planning, Joe Erceg, told the planning committee Richmond shouldn’t doubt the city’s ability to attract large businesses.

Erceg noted the policy — to give extra density in exchange for large office units — was created to attract large businesses to City Centre.

“If you chop it all up before it’s built, you will not have any success attracting such businesses because you won’t have suitable premises for them,” he said.

The committee asked city staff to bring back more information on the value of the bonus before a final decision is made. The item is back on the planning committee agenda for May 3.

Joyful Giving

Memorial Fundraiser Pays Tribute to the Human Touch of Richmond Hospital Emergency Nurse

I

f Barb and Reg Pike had a superpower, theirs would be the ‘human touch.’ The Richmond locals, who both passed away in late 2020, were known for opening their home and hearts to others.

Barb was a compassionate registered nurse for 40 years, with 25 of those years as a Patient Care Coordinator at Richmond Hospital’s Emergency Department before she retired in 2012. Reg was a charismatic, dependable business and salesman in multiple industries throughout his life before retiring in 2013.

The Pikes cared for others as deeply as they did for each other and their two sons, and the community took note.

“When we were growing up, our friends and family who ended up in the Emergency Department would always ask for Barb because she had developed a reputation for putting everyone at ease with her reassuring nature,” explains son Scott. “Barb treated her patients so well – like her own children, in fact – and she was widely respected for her role at the local hospital”.

In honour of Barb and Reg’s memory, with the support of family and friends, their two sons Bryant and Scott raised over $100,000 in 2021 for Richmond Hospital’s Emergency Department, where a memorial plaque will recognize this generous gesture.

“We wanted to memorialize our parents for the compassionate and caring people they were, and recognize the profound impact they had on family, friends growing up, and the patients of Richmond Hospital,” says son Bryant. “We hope that this donation will continue her legacy and help to create a positive healthcare experience for others.

Thank you to all our family and friends who helped contribute.”

Dr. Sam Tang, anesthesiologist with Richmond Hospital, saw firsthand how Barb loved helping and caring for people in Richmond. Not only did he grow up with the Pike brothers, but he also ended up working at the same hospital as Barb for a few years before her retirement.

How can you and your company get involved in improving health care in the community?

This person didn’t want to spend money on Lawyers (we are not the heathens we’re made out to be!)

Introduction The ownership of land here in B.C. has become a legally complex topic.

It may be simply the evolution of our law in this area. Over the decades and centuries, various major cases (in England and Canada) have had their impact on our property law. Consider also that our Land Title Act has almost 400 sections.

Today, there are several ways ownership of land can be expressed. For example, a person may have a beneficial interest in land (which is a legally recognized term) and that person’s name may not appear on the title. In addition, the owner(s) shown on a title to land may not own the full interest in it, despite being on title. Add to all this the recent changes in the taxation of land, including the vacancy tax, empty homes tax, and you have complexity!

I still hear, with some regularity, from persons who want to discuss changing the title to their land in order to avoid exposure to Probate fees when they pass and their Wills need to go to Probate. Though I understand the sentiment, this topic needs to be discussed on an ongoing basis because this kind of transaction is, on the whole, “underplanned” (I think that’s a word!), in my opinion.

Earlier this month, reasons for judgment were delivered by the BC Supreme Court in a case called Sandwell v. Sayers. This case provides a good example of a transaction gone wrong.

Facts The Plaintiff is a 91 year old Widower and the Father of two adult children. In 2008, he signed a transfer document, under which he transferred his home to his son. Those documents were never registered.

They were found in November, 2020 by the Plaintiff ’s daughter. A note on the transfer document said that it was not to be registered without the Plaintiff ’s consent or his loss of health.

The daughter gave evidence that she brought the documents to her Father’s attention but he did not remember them. She advised him to see a Lawyer but he said he’d already spent enough money on Lawyers.

Instead, he went to a Notary Public. The Plaintiff Father wanted to now transfer a partial interest in the house to his daughter, such that she would receive the entire house on his death. With some hesitation, the Father ultimately decided to do the transfer. He also signed a Deed of Gift. This document is a written expression of the intention of the person transferring, that they indeed want to make a gift of the interest in the property.

The transfer was done in December, 2020. The daughter became a joint tenant registered owner of the property with her Father. Not long after, the Father wanted to annul the transfer and take back full title to the property. The daughter opposed.

Court’s Decision The Court was confronted with a claim by the Father under a doctrine called “Unconscionable Procurement” as well as the better known doctrine of “Unjust Enrichment”. In general, the Plaintiff argued he was not fully informed when he made the transaction.

The Court noted that even the Plaintiff agreed that, with the Deed of Gift having been made, there was no undue influence.

With regard to the Unconscionable Procurement, the Court held that this doctrine overlaps with legal doctrines we already have in BC, namely, Undue Influence and Resulting Trust. The Court concluded that in any event, no undue influence existed here from the daughter.

Furthermore, the Court felt that the Plaintiff did not provide enough evidence to show that he misunderstood what he was doing and he also did not indicate what was his motive or intention in looking to set aside the transfer. The Notary he saw did tell the Plaintiff to give more thought to what he wanted and the Plaintiff did that.

Finally, on the Unjust Enrichment aspect, the Deed of Gift nullified a claim pursuant to this legal principle.

The Court held that the transfer was valid. The daughter remained a joint tenant owner of the property.

Conclusions The Court noted the difficulty of this case, being between two members of a family. However, the case strongly suggests the urgency of discussion and consideration when looking at this kind of transaction involving title to property. Note that the Father in this case now has to declare on his 2022 tax return that he transferred his title. That “flags” his file with CRA. His daughter, now a joint owner, may in future be subject to a capital gain, being a registered owner of property that is not her principal residence. Also, the transaction will not likely be able to be challenged by the Plaintiff ’s son (if that is ever sought). It is not clear from the reasons here, whether the Father really wanted his property to go fully to his daughter upon his death, despite signing the documents to put that in place. Perhaps spending the money on a Lawyer may have been helpful in this case (not to criticize the Notary, who appears to have done a good job here) but readers should consider this case when looking to take similar steps with their own properties.

South Arm loses Fred Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Fred Waldburg (right) has passed away.

He and his wife, Betty, picked up the litter in South Arm Park for 28 years.

Rain, hail, shine or snow, for 28 years with his wife, Betty, by his side, Fred Waldburg used to scour South Arm Park every single morning for other people’s garbage.

Armed only with their trusty pickers and plastic bags, the couple — who emigrated from Germany in the ‘50s — must have picked up tons of litter on their daily rounds in their neighbourhood of 51 years.

Sadly, Fred passed away earlier this week, age 85, after suffering a stroke at the family home — through the lane from the park — just over a month ago.

His daughter, Irene Hofler, said her dad was still going out for his daily walk and clean-up until recently, before he “started to slow down.”

“They would still walk the old dog around but they kept the distance shorter,” she added.

“Sometimes he brought his pickers but the days got fewer. We could see that he was struggling with his strength.”

Hofler said she has passed on the pickers to a few of those park regulars, in the hope they continue the great community work of her parents.

And she said when she visits the family home, she and her husband “will always take a walk around my old school. I’ll take my dad’s pickers and follow (in) his footsteps.”

Hofler said there is no funeral planned, but the family is holding a celebration of life at the home.

Hofler said the park regulars “have been lovely,” with many people asking how the couple were doing.

The Waldburgs and their daily exploits featured on the front page of the Richmond News back in February of 2014, with the headline “Meet the Waldburgs.”

“My mom still will go out but mobility is hard. She’s not comfortable walking too far these days.”

In the story, the couple proudly showed off their City of Richmond appreciation certificate.
