Listen to EV drivers Bad time for ditch clearing Dear Editor, Re: “Demand for EVs, charging stations soars,” News, May 19.

I appreciate John Roston highlighting the inadequate plan for public chargers the city is pursuing.

As a recent new owner of a VW ID4 electric vehicle, we quickly realized the current charging infrastructure is problematic. Community centres and city facilities accessible to the public generally have the capacity to charge between two to four vehicles at a time, yet deter charging more than about 50 km (Level 2 chargers) with a hefty 250 per cent disincentive fee beyond the first two hours.

For comparison, Vancouver charges a fraction of this with no disincentive.

Level 3 chargers are designed for quick charging (up to 100km in 20 minutes) yet I’ve only seen one such charger at King George Park. Does the city really want to encourage adoption of EVs as part of its climate

action plan or have they just been misguided by not engaging with EV owners?

In the last year, B.C. has seen a 44 per cent increase in registered EVs at 80,000 with a BC Hydro forecast of this growing to 350,000 by the end of this decade.

If not for Tesla’s dedicated network of chargers for their owners, we would have a more serious problem right now. The city has a wonderful opportunity to take a leadership role in supporting climate goals by getting the right network of chargers in place now.

The B.C. and federal governments are currently offering to pay up to 75 per cent of the cost of new EV chargers. This is something both the City of Richmond, residents and strata corporations should jump on fast since the limited budget is relatively small.

I live right beside Garry Point Park in Steveston. Last week, my neighbours and myself were treated to an atrocity by the Richmond parks department, whose workers unceremoniously dug out the waterway beside the Dyke Trail.

I understand that the parks department needs to clear the waterway every few

years because of buildup of organic matter. What I do not understand is why they needed to do this in the middle of the nesting season for thousands of migratory and native birds, many of which are protected species.

Does the Richmond parks department not have an environmental consultant? I cannot conceive of the level of due diligence that was absent in the decision-making

process in approving the timing of this project.

This project should have been done in the fall, when fewer species would have been impacted.

Please help me to understand the logic in destroying key habitat for protected species at the height of the breeding season?

School audit finds racism, harassment, silence Nixon said.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

There’s a “significant amount of work” to be done to help students who are targets of racism, sexual harassment and discrimination in Richmond schools.

That’s the conclusion school board chair Sandra Nixon came to after an audit was done based on feedback from almost 1,500 students, more than 500 parents and more than 600 employees of the Richmond School District.

“What became clear there is still a culture in our schools where we need to do a lot of work,” Nixon said.

Not only were there stories of students being targeted with various forms of discrimination, there’s a hesitation to come forward and report what happened because of a fear of repercussions, she added.

“That’s absolutely the opposite of the kind of environment that we’re trying to create where students and families would feel safe being able to voice (their concerns),”

The board struck a working group two years ago to look at the issue of racism in schools, as the Black Lives Matter movement was in full force in the U.S., following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.

That summer, former Burnett secondary student Daniella Jovanovic told trustees stories of racism while she was a student and appealed to them to teach more Black history, prompting the board to form the working group.

“Some students also reported feeling marginalized, unsafe, unheard, and discriminated against,” the report elaborated.

Furthermore, parents reported they felt “powerless to share their thoughts and feelings, or to report an incident without fear of repercussion or being marginalized.”

... there is still a culture in our schools where we need to do a lot of work.

For their part, teachers, support staff and other groups reported a “lack of clarity” about what to do in these incidents “how to report it, who to report it to, and what the next steps should be.”

“We need to do our absolute best in terms of staff feeling like they’re being supported in handling those things, and students being supported in feeling safe coming forward,” she said.

One of the recommendations was to start a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) advisory group, similar to the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity advisory group.

Moving forward, Nixon said it’s important to hear the voices of those students who feel marginalized by discrimination, and not just the leadership students who have normally been “the primary student voice we have feeding in.”

“There was expressed discomfort in reporting to Bakau Consulting was school personnel for fear of hired to do an audit of how the person reporting SANDRA NIXON the school district, and its may be viewed for bringing report and eight recoman issue forward,” the remendations were presented to trustees in port said, adding the feeling was nothing late April. would be done.

“I would hope we’re circling back to those who have been courageous in telling us about their experiences and checking back in,” Nixon said.

The audit reported students referencing “inappropriate joking and stereotyping as regular, frequent occurrences in school.”

“Where we have to land is (…at) the values that are now enshrined in human rights,” Nixon said.

Nixon acknowledged schools won’t be able to prevent every incident from taking place, but she said they can’t “shy away” from working to eradicate discrimination.

She added students might have biases coming from outside of school, but public education is obligated to uphold human rights.

It’s in your home that matters most.

Helicopter makes habit of landing in badminton parking lot An initial statement from Transport Canada to the News gave the impression that, as long as the pilot had permission from the property owner, the aircraft could land in such a spot.

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A helicopter pilot is running the risk of losing their licence — after a series of unscheduled landings in a badminton centre parking lot in Richmond.

Richmond resident Dave Thomson spotted the helicopter landing last Thursday morning in the parking lot of Ace Badminton on Van Horne Way, next to Bridgeport Canada Line station.

Thomson said the passenger told him that it was not an emergency landing, while the manager at the badminton centre told the News they had no idea who the chopper belonged to and were calling the police.

After reading the story at Richmond-

However, subsequent information from the federal authority clarified that “permission from the land owner is not sufficient to land a helicopter on any private property.”

Dave Thomson spotted this chopper landing last week.

News.com, another resident told the News he, too, had witnessed the aircraft landing there several times and understood the passenger to be the owner of some nearby vacant land.

The Transport Canada statement added that, in addition to permission from the owner, helicopter pilots must comply with certain sections of the Canadian Aviation Regulation, which include minimum altitudes and distances.

“All pilots, regardless of the type of aircraft they operate, must fully adhere to the Canadian Aviation Regulations.

“The regulations state that helicop-

Woman pleads guilty to armed kidnapping A second person has pleaded guilty to kidnapping a victim from a vehicle at gunpoint in Richmond.

Ashley Smith admitted her part in the armed kidnapping last September, which was intercepted by Vancouver police (VPD) after a “brief pursuit.”

According to a VPD statement last fall, the victim was assaulted, restrained and suffered significant, but non-life threatening injuries.

Four people were arrested at the scene, said police, which was the result of an investigation into home invasions.

At Vancouver Provincial Court on Tuesday, Smith, 30, pleaded guilty to a charge of “kidnapping using (a) firearm simpliciter.”

Make your money work 604-419-8888 • gffg.com

As well as the aforementioned armed kidnapping, Smith admitted to four other charges, including failing to stop for police and a breach of probation.

She was remanded in custody and will be sentenced in September, along with her coaccused, Michael Husain, who admitted in March to three charges, including kidnapping using a firearm, assault causing bodily harm and using a firearm to commit an indictable offence.

Also charged in connection with the kidnapping is Harman Parmar, 24, and a fourth person, whose name is subject to a court publication ban.

Should that group establish there was a contravention of the Canadian Aviation Regulations, enforcement action would be taken, which could include a fine or, depending on the nature and severity of the infraction, the pilot’s licence may be suspended.

Search for missing man has sad ending Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond RCMP identified a body found last Thursday close to YVR as Nedunchellian Vasse Pushparaj, who was reported missing a week and a half prior.

The 64-year-old man’s body was found in the 6800 block of Miller Road.

Police said the incident was not considered suspicious.

Pushparaj (pictured) was last seen walking near Richmond Hospital on the evening of Monday, May 9, and later near Lansdowne Station close to 10 p.m.

The authority said it will be “reviewing the circumstances of this occurrence” and is “inviting witnesses to share any relevant information they would have with our Enforcement group, at TC.PACInvestigationEnquetePAC.TC@tc.gc.ca.”

SECURIT Y PLUS GROWTH

The police put out an appeal to the public about information on his whereabouts two days later as his family was growing concerned about his well-being.

Police and Richmond Fire-Rescue were at the scene Thursday on Miller Road, between Templeton Street and Russ Baker Way, to recover the body from a ditch.

The Richmond RCMP thanked the public and media for assistance in searching for Pushparaj. *Limited time offer, terms and conditions apply. No redemption allowed. G&F Financial Group is a trade name of Gulf and Fraser Fishermen’s Credit Union.

Last week, TransLink’s CEO was touting new bus routes for Richmond and a plan to double local bus service over the next 10 years at city council’s committee meeting in anticipation of regional mayors approving the next transit 10-year plan.

But transit advocate Nathan Davidovich said the plan has little for Richmond, saying bus routes still aren’t back to pre-pandemic levels in the city.

be fast, frequent and reliable, explained TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn, with dedicated bus lanes and transit signal priority.

He pointed out bus lanes, which take over a lane previously used by cars, are the most effective way to deliver rapid transit.

“We appreciate that that entails trade-offs with general traffic,” Quinn said. “We note that those trade-offs combined with rapid service and amenities are aligned with Richmond (Official Community Plan) goals to increase traffic mode share.”

“For Richmond, there is hardly anything at all,” he told city council Tuesday.

Quinn was presenting these plans to Richmond city council in anticipation of a 10-year plan going to TransLink’s Mayors’ Council for approval this summer.

He suggested Richmond look at transit options such as re-establising the inter-urban tram to Steveston.

Other proposed Richmond bus routes could go to Terra Nova and along Blundell within the next five years.

Furthermore, Davidovich said, TransLink plans to keep raising fares, whereas many cities around the world are lowering their fares or partially eliminating them.

The Blundell neighbourhood and Terra Nova Rural Park are two of 20 Metro Vancouver areas identified in the proposed 10year plan as needing local transit.

New route, new lanes planned A new bus route, called the “R7,” could connect one of the Canada Line Stations in Richmond to the Expo Line on a still unidentified route.

The plan also includes creating “express corridors” through the yet-to-be-built new George Massey crossing, which will include dedicated transit lanes both ways.

Union brings pay hike to non-union police Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Not only will rank-and-file Richmond RCMP officers receive significant pay increases after recently unionizing, nonunionized officers will also get pay raises.

In addition to salary adjustments between about 5.4 and 10 per cent, commissioned officers — inspectors, superintendents and chief superintendents — will get retroactive pay of 1.75 per cent going back to 2017.

These rates are set by the Treasury Board.

The City of Richmond, however, pointed out this will have minimal impact as there are usually only three or four non-union officers at the Richmond detachment.

This didn’t stop Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, along with a group of other municipal leaders from the Urban Mayors’ Caucus, from highlighting this to Public Safety Canada an additional cost to the city.

The group was speaking to the assistant deputy minister about their concerns around the unionization process as well as pay raises for other police officers, which ended up being higher than expected.

RCMP officers will be receiving retroactive pay to 2017, which is expected to amount to $10.6 million for the City of Richmond.

The city put aside $2.5 million annually for three years in anticipation of higher RCMP costs; they are now about $3 million short.

“We ask a lot of our RCMP officers and I, personally, and I think our city, wants them to be paid properly, because we ask them to go into a lot of uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situations,” Brodie said. “I don’t want the discussion to be taken as a reluctance to pay them properly, it’s just all of a sudden there’s this big payment to be made and that’s very difficult.”

The Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) and more than 70 local governments also met with Public Safety Canada last week. They outlined largely the same concerns, including the lack of communication and failure to engage local governments during the negotiations, the inability for municipalities to absorb retroactive costs, and the fact guidance from the federal government on how much this would be “fell well short of the final settlement.”

The federal government has agreed to delay sending invoices for the next one to two months, according to UBCM.

Rookie MP set to finally open local office Richmond Centre MP Wilson Miao in Ottawa. Miao has been criticized recently by some Richmond News readers who claim they’ve been unable to reach him since he got elected last fall. Miao told the News that he has had problems getting a permit for his constituency office but hopes to open it very soon.

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Some Richmond residents have been having trouble getting a hold of their new MP, so the Richmond News reached out to rookie politician Wilson Miao to find out what’s going on.

A number of people, including readers and high school students, contacted the News in recent weeks and months, questioning why they couldn’t contact or get an email reply from the Liberal MP for Richmond Centre and wondering why Miao doesn’t have a constituency office, despite being elected nine months ago.

In a virtual in-person interview on Thursday, Miao told the News that he has been having difficulty finding the right premises for his local office.

However, he said he hopes to open his new constituency office very soon, close to Richmond Hospital.

And he added that the phone number for the office — which is active — has

been updated on the parliamentary website.

“Looking for an office (in my constituency) has been one of the biggest challenges,” said Miao, adding that he wasn’t able to take over Tory veteran MP Alice Wong’s office, as the lease had expired there. “(I had) hoped to have a temporary office in January, but wasn’t able to. I do now have an office confirmed.”

Miao said he hasn’t put the address out there just yet as he is waiting for the permit application to be approved following renovations.

“The negotiation with the landlord took some time,” said Miao.

As for his first foray into politics, Miao said he remembers “very clearly” his first few days in Ottawa last fall.

“The second day I was on the hill; I was

assigned house duty and a colleague said he was occupied that evening and asked if I could also take his house duty.

I said, ‘sure, why not,’” recalled Miao.

“So, it was supposed to end at 6:30 p.m., but there was a B.C. flood debate (and) we had to extend the sitting until midnight.

“I was like, ‘wow, is this the way it’s going to happen?’ This was only my second day.”

Miao said one-hour discussions in Ottawa quickly become three hours and more, resulting in many very late nights.

He said he has managed to get onto two committees which are close to his heart — veteran affairs and international trade.

“I have a deep connection with seniors and feel they are being neglected,” he added, noting that the current anti-Asian racism — and any racism for that matter — is also something at the top of his list.

Anyone wanting to contact Miao should email him at Wilson.Miao@parl.gc.ca or call 604-775-5790.

ALR land boasts potential for tennis, basketball court need to be approved by the ALC first, explained Avtar Sundher, director of operations with the ALC.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A piece of farmland in Richmond is being advertised to potential buyers as a place to build their dream home with “lots of land” for a tennis court, basketball court, mini pitch & putt or to park extra cars or an RV. The property, at 6300 No. 4 Rd. selling for $1.95 million, is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), a protected area that has strict uses mandated by the province under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).

While the ad is not incorrect, it might be “premature” to say amenities such as a tennis or basketball court can be built on the farmland, as they would

“It’s not guaranteed they would get it,” he said.

Although, there already are dozens of mega-mansions throughout Richmond’s agricultural land reserve — many as large as 10,000 square feet in size with extensive landscaping and amenities.

This has been a significant bone of contention for many who want to ensure agricultural land is actually being used for agriculture. In 2018, the province passed legislation to limit the size of homes on

not approve that, depending on the size of the parcel and how many other things are on the other property,” he added.

Richmond city council went one step further, restricting house sizes on ALR properties within its municipal boundaries to about 4,300 square feet.

Furthermore, any fill application in the ALR for possible improvements to, or raising of, the land, needs to be sent in via the City of Richmond, forwarded by city council, and then approved by the ALC.

However, ALR properties continue to be advertised by realtors as luxury homesteads.

The property for sale, just north of MacNeill secondary, is half an acre in size with no buildings on it.

Amenities like a tennis court are considered an “auxiliary residential use” and the ALC sometimes approves them if they’re “within reason,” Sundher said.

Even getting the files to the press has advanced. As late as the 1990s, newspapers had to print out and paste individual pieces of copy, ads and photos together onto sheets (called flats) and drive the flats to a printing press where they would be photographed and turned into printing plates.

Now, ads, stories and photos can be made into press-ready pages entirely on a laptop computer and sent directly to the press using computer-to-plate technology, all of which speeds up the news-gathering pace.

Now a community newspaper can cover a fire or a council meeting at 6 pm with the story and pictures in print just hours later – a process that used to take a full day or

And as we move beyond print and into an increasingly digital world, remember we’ve been here for decades too. Community newspapers were also among the first websites found on the World Wide Web, as it was known in the 1990s, and have also been pioneers in using new social media platforms to distribute news to readers (community newspaper, of course, being the original social media). Today dozens of our members are using new digital tools to tell local stories, from video shows to podcasts and more.

In short, innovation and adoption of new technology have been in our blood for 100 years – and will be for many more.

Amazing Race zips through Richmond Night Market Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Everyone races to line up at the Richmond Night Market food stalls, but some interesting faces were spotted among the crowds this weekend.

A two-person team and film crew from The Amazing Race Canada, a reality TV show, were first seen lin-

ing up at several of the market’s food stalls among a sea of people on Saturday.

The team was busy collecting all the correct food items listed on a paper provided by the TV director.

They were followed by several film crew members with cameras and mics who were chasing them, squeezing through the crowds.

Blue Cabin opens its doors June 4, 5

Blue Cabin, a mobile artist studio, will be part of Richmond’s Doors Open event taking place June 4 and 5.

Since the Blue Cabin floated to its new home in the Steveston Village earlier this year, people walking up and down the boardwalk have been curious about this mysterious artist’s studio that sits quietly at Imperial Landing.

Although mostly designated for artists to work in, the Blue Cabin welcomes local residents to participate in open houses, talks and workshops to learn about the region’s foreshore history and the communities connected to it.

“We want to be able to connect with audiences in Richmond and let them come in and see the space and hear the story,” said the Blue Cabin’s managing director Anthony Meza-Wilson.

The current artist-in-residence Debra Sparrow, a Musqueam weaver, will be demonstrating her weaving projects during Doors Open, hoping to show audiences the beauty and integrity of her people’s history through her art.

“It is not art as you know it, but a way of life as we know it,” Sparrow said.

This coming Sunday, she will be holding an event with artist Donna Grant to teach audiences how to make traditional Musqueam fishing nets from cedar sinew and tell the history of net building and fishing in the area.

“It’s a great experience to be here, because it’s where my people were, and still are. But they’re not visible,” Sparrow said.

The Blue Cabin moves around the Lower Mainland, allowing artists to learn about different areas along the waterfront. It will stay in the Steveston Village until 2024.

Since its inception, the Blue Cabin has been facilitating conversations and cross-cultural exchanges on the environment, foreshore histories, Indigenous arts and present-day issues. As a floating structure, the Blue Cabin provides artists and the public with a new way to look at the city — from the water.

“Sometimes I’ve stayed in the evening when the sun’s going down, and just to be here and watch the water and the sun together,” said Sparrow. “I don’t know if I want to leave.”

As COVID-19 restrictions ease, Doors Open is once again offering in-person tours and activities. For information about Doors Open, go to Richmond.ca/DoorsOpen.

Introduction

Do you want a Safety Deposit Box?

Many people lease and use safety deposit boxes. In a sense, they are thought of as an inexpensive form of insurance (though they are actually not).

Heirlooms, valuables and other items are very commonly placed and held in safety deposit boxes (“SDB”), not only to be secure but sometimes to avoid their loss, or theft. It is also common to place important documents in SDBs, including birth and marriage certificates, Wills, Powers of Attorney and health care related documents.

In my experience, most clients have SDBs. I find that I frequently discuss issues related to boxes, as part of an Estate plan, including what to hold in the box as well as the access to the box. There are some important aspects to be aware of.

Access Persons registered on the SDB account will have access to the box during bank hours. It may be useful to add another person, whether a spouse, adult child or another person in a close, trusting relationship, to the box account.

From an Estate planning perspective, it is useful to allow certain persons access to the box, for reasons I will explain shortly.

What to hold and who should know Useful as they are, SDBs do not tend to cost much (usually under $150 per year). They are convenient and, during banking hours, are easy to access.

It is prudent to keep Vital documents in a box. At home, they are more easily misplaced. A misplaced marriage certificate kept at home may need to be ordered again, which will be expensive and time consuming.

Family heirlooms and small, valuable items (such as coins and jewelry) are also easily lost if kept at home and I find it common among clients to place those kinds of items in SDBs. The person setting up the SDB account should never be the only person who knows its contents. A spouse, child, sibling or other, trusted person should at least know that a box exists. In addition, some vital documents might be better kept at home. For example, a Representation Agreement, for health care, might be needed on an urgent, quick basis where, for example, the Adult is rushed to hospital. A person named as Representative should be able to get the document without a concern as to banking hours or, for that matter, where the access key to the box might be found. I do not recommend holding an original Representation Agreement in a SDB. It is different with a Will or Power of Attorney. A Will kept at home is, over many years, typically misplaced. A Will maker might one day take a look at her or his Will and then put it somewhere once they finish. A year later, the Will may not be in the same place.

With a Power of Attorney, this document should be kept in a secure place.

Powers of Attorney are powerful documents, dealing with the management of a person’s finances. In my opinion, it is a mistake to keep them at home.

They should be kept in a secure location, such as in a SDB or a Lawyer’s or Notary’s office.

An Executor or Attorney appointed under a Power of Attorney is a person who is trusted. They should be told where the original is being kept.

When a document is actually needed An Executor or an Attorney will, at some point, need to get the original. A problem arises when such a person is not named on the box account.

If the Executor needs a Will because the account holder has died, the Bank staff will take the person’s ID and key, and then open the box. They will prepare a written inventory and provide the person with a copy of the list of items found in the box. The Bank will usually release the original Will to the person. It is easier, however, if the person is named on the box account. This is something that should be discussed at the Estate planning stage.

Things could be more complex with a Power of Attorney. If the appointed Attorney is not registered on the box account, access to the document can be difficult. Understandably, banks do not release such documents easily. I advise persons making Powers of Attorney to take their appointed person to the branch where the box is located, introduce the person to the bank staff, let staff take ID and have the person sign a Signature Card, so that the bank has their signature for future recognition. Access should be discussed with Bank staff.

Again, the issue is more simple if the Power of Attorney is kept in a Lawyer’s or Notary’s office. Banking hours are not at issue because law firms and Notary firms tend to be open longer. Again, access just needs to be arranged when signing the document.

Insurance?

Years ago, I was acting in an Estate, where the original Will was apparently held in a SDB, at a Bank in Vancouver. As we needed the original Will for Probate purposes, I inquired with the Bank as to the box, only to be told that the particular branch had moved. Nobody representing the Bank knew where the particular SDB went and the original Will was lost.

A SDB cannot be considered as an alternative insurance policy. Banks and Credit Unions do not insure the contents of SDBs. Conclusions Safety deposit boxes are really practical and convenient.

They are not expensive. While I encourage anyone to get one, plan what items you want to store and whom you want to have access.

Johnny recalls day he almost sparked prison riot Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

He’s toured Canada coast-to-coast and was a member of what was once the most popular TV show in the country.

But acclaimed Scottish-born accordionist Johnny Forrest will never forget the day he almost caused a prison riot.

Richmond resident Forrest, 85 — who starred for a decade from ’63 to ’73 on renowned CBC show Don Messer’s Jubilee — recalled how he and fellow stars of the show were invited to Halifax Prison in ’68 to entertain the inmates.

However, Forrest burst into laughter as he remembered how he opened up his brief stint behind bars with country music hit “Please Release Me.” “There was about 200 of them,” smiled Forrest.

“I told the guy who organized it, ‘I’m not going to do my Scottish stuff, I’m going to do something different, maybe some country music,’ which is my second love.

“So I struck up ‘Please release me, let me go.’ All hell broke loose. They didn’t take too kindly to that particular song.”

Sensing the “discontent” in the crowd, Forrest said he quickly transitioned to one of his famous Scottish hits “Donald, where’s your troosers” to appease the masses.

Right place, right time Other than that infamous prison “gig,” Forrest — who moved into Steveston’s Maple Residences last summer — told the Richmond News that he led a charmed life when it came to showbusiness, being very much “the right person, in the right place, at the right time.”

Case in point when he was immigrating to Canada as a fresh-faced 20-year-old in 1958, via a five-day voyage across the Atlantic, he organized an impromptu talent show.

“I was on my way to Edmonton, to live with a relative. On the ship coming over, there was no entertainment,” said Forrest.

“I had the accordion. I just went round the ship, asking, can you dance? Can you sing? Can you tell a story?

“I decided, we’re going to do a singalong and who wants to join me? I put a great group of people together and packed this lounge out during the five-day voyage.

“I think I was probably the first entertainer to put live music on a ship. People were pouring down from first class.”

On that ship and enjoying Forrest’s

Scottish-born accordionist Johnny Forrest was a star on the Don Messer’s Jubilee show on TV in the ‘60s. “show” was the owner of an Edmonton TV station, who gave the Scotsman his business card and told him to contact him when he got to Edmonton.

“I got a job at the airport in Edmonton, putting the skins on the planes, but I was on TV a week after arriving in Edmonton.”

That break led to the aforementioned Messer, while touring in Edmonton, to give Forrest an audition in his dressing room and, subsequently, a spot on his famous show.

Sadly, when Messer passed away in 1973, so did his show, along with the TV careers of most of its stars.

Forrest kept on entertaining, however, performing his array of Scottish and country hits in hotel lounges and clubs across Canada.

And in 1970, he moved his family to Richmond, where he continued to wow his audiences at various seniors homes across the city.

About 10 years ago, he developed a health issue himself and had to stop picking up the accordion.

But he still managed to strap it on one more time for his fellow Maple residents to do a “turn” for the complex’s Robbie Burns Night this past January.

“I think I’m the last known living member of the (Don Messer show),” said Forrest.

“As we say in Scotland, ‘Y’ll never see our likes again!’ I only play now and again for my own enjoyment. No applause. Just the four walls.

“It still makes me feel good, though.”

Palmer’s ultimate frisbee team McMath athletes aim to heads to provincials cap stellar season Valerie Leung

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It has been a stellar year on track and field for the McMath secondary team.

Sounds of cheering, yelling and even a few tears were on display when Palmer Secondary’s ultimate frisbee team took first place in a regional tournament last week.

The co-ed team competed in the Regional South Fraser Senior AA Division Tournament, which took place at Hugh Boyd Secondary on May 12, beating Surrey Christian Secondary School 8-4 in the final.

Team manager Matthew Li said smiles and hugs were going around non-stop.

“All the sweat and tears. Everyone was emotional,” said Li. “There was a big sense of achievement that we got a physical award.”

Like many school sports, ultimate frisbee was put on hold for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Li said that winning regionals after these two years means their practices paid off.

The winning Palmer Secondary ultimate frisbee team.

“We had a lot of new members join the team this year so we were practicing as much as we could.”

Li told the Richmond News that the final was a challenge because the opposition’s style of play was different from many of the Richmond school teams.

However, Palmer began to understand how Surrey Christian played and “saw through their strategy.”

Palmer will now be heading the B.C. School Sports AA Ultimate Provincials at Newton Athletic Park on May 26 and 27.

NG ISTI L NEW

Like every other high school, the twoyear, COVID-enforced hiatus from competitive events has weighed heavily on young athletes and their progression.

So it was impressive for McMath to see a total of 47 athletes qualify for the upcoming Zone Championships, where they will compete against students from Surrey and Delta, as well as fellow Richmond athletes.

One of them, Logan Duley, currently has one of the fastest times in the province in both the 100m and 200m.

Here are the first place finishes for the following athletes in the recent Richmond High School Championships: Grade 8 Ruby Kump 800m - 2:45.83, 1500m - 5:48.21, 3,000m - 11:59.38

The senior boys 4 x 100m team.

Grade 8 Allari Ortiz Lee 100m 13.70 Grade 8 Rebecca Nashlund Long Jump 3.85m Grade 9 Noa Smerdon 800m 2:40.49 Grade 9 Daymon Wijayakoon High Jump - 1.50m Grade 10 Nathan Kusch 100m 12.26 Grade 10 Emi Nishi Discus Throw 18.46m.

FLEMING, Mary G. March 6, 1932 − May 11, 2022 Mary Goodwin Fleming (née Donaldson) passed peacefully at home on May 11th, 2022, surrounded by family.

Mary was born in Barkip, Scotland, in 1932 and spent her childhood in Anyox and Vancouver, BC, with her sister Margaret and their parents, James and Mary Donaldson. Mary met her husband, Colin Fleming, at a dance hall in Vancouver, and together they had two children, David and Michelle. They raised their family in Richmond, BC, aside from an exotic eight years in Mexico City.

Mary worked at CIBC’s UBC branch for many years. In her spare time, she enjoyed dancing, watching Jeopardy, and volunteering at the Gateway Theatre. Mary was an avid traveller − she visited several countries over six continents and collected countless T−shirts and magnets.

Mary will be missed by her children, David and Michelle; their spouses, Chris and Wayne; three grandchildren, Litia, Chloe, and Noah; and her cousin, Rose Dawn MacInnes. The family would like to thank Julietta and all the caregivers for their love and support over the last two years. A celebration of life will be held in summer 2022.

June has a large loving family. She was preceded by daughter Nancy in 1981. June is survived by her husband Laurie; children Bruce (Cheryl), Cathie (Kim), Sharon, and Gordon (Sandy); grandchildren Cameron, Natalie (Justin), Nicholas (Kayla), Stuart, Dalton, Jackson, and Izabel; greatgrandchildren Elijah, Jonah, Ben, Viola, June and Reid. As per June’s request there will be a private family gathering. Thank you to the staff of Richmond Hospital.

A life long Richmond resident and son of local pioneers, Max worked the family blueberry farm for half a century.

NIELSEN, June L. June 25, 1936 − March 7, 2022 June passed away peacefully at the age of 85 in Richmond, BC. The family would like to express their gratitude for the excellent care given by Dr. Nanda and Dr. Orenstein, as well as the many healthcare professionals who looked after her at Richmond Hospital.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life on Saturday, June 18, 2022, from 2 to 4 pm, at the South Arm United Church at 11051 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC. For the complete obituary please see justcremation.ca/obituaries/june−nielsen.

Love’s greatest gift is

He learned to love fishing and the outdoors with his father. His life was forever altered by a car accident in 1986. Yet he continued to share his love of fishing on the sunshine coast with his wife, Brenda, step-son Thomas, and everyone else who would join him on his boat for many years.

His generosity and humour will be greatly missed by those who knew him.

May he rest in peace. God bless.

A special thanks to everyone at Hamilton Care Centre. Private service to follow. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Max’s memory to GF Strong Rehab Centre.

EVERY TICKET CHANGES A LIFE

They’re there when you need them… now it’s your turn to be there for them.

BC’s Hometown Heroes come to the aid of people in life-threatening situations every day. From rescue to recovery, BC’s front line workers and first responders – our fire fighters, along with the doctors, nurses and health care teams at Vancouver General Hospital – are always on duty for critically ill and severely injured British Columbians. When you need help, these heroes respond.

Your Hometown Heroes Lottery ticket purchases support VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, raising essential funds for specialized adult health services and research at VGH and UBC Hospital, GF Strong Rehab Centre, Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and Vancouver Community Health Services for all British Columbians. Ticket purchases also support programs of the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, including burn survivor support services and resiliency programs for fire fighters.

Thank you for purchasing your Hometown Heroes Lottery tickets.
