Memorial trees celebrate cycle of life

It was last October, just weeks ahead of the municipal election, a time when local politicians explain their visions and priorities for the city That’s when Mayor Malcolm Brodie told the News he’d like to see the city develop a memorial garden Richmond can’t have graveyards because of our high-water table, so a memorial garden could be an alternative Brodie said the idea had been proposed and agreed on by past councils but remained just that an idea

It was a comment that a few years ago, I probably wouldn’t have given a second thought to, but life (and death) has a way of focusing one ’ s attention

In January 2022, we lost my kids’ dad and in January 2023 we lost my dad. The issue of what to do with a body’s remains is now a very real topic of family discussion

For my kids’ dad, I was certain he’d want his ashes scattered in the ocean or along the beach on the Sunshine Coast where his family had a summer home In fact, he said as much But when the time came, he chose instead to be interned in a family plot in a Vancouver graveyard He liked the idea of being where family could gather, which is exactly what we did on the one-year anniversary of his passing.

So now what to do with my dad We’re not interested in a memorial bench They’re expensive, there’s a wait list to get one, and you can’t exactly scatter someone ’ s ashes all over them But we do want some place in Richmond that’s easy for my mom to get to, some place we can return to and feel his presence

Now for some background

My dad was a forester and worked “in the bush” for 20 years He eventually changed professions, but while he left forestry, he never left the forest Every summer it was camping and hiking, and every winter it was cross-country skiing In his final years

he was so grateful for the grove of trees in Steveston Park where he would walk

“I never feel alone when I’m among trees,” he told me

Perhaps you can see where I’m going with this a memorial tree

This isn’t an original idea The city already has a memorial tree program of sorts, but it needs tending if it’s going to really take root groan

My mom phoned the city about it and was told it would cost $650 and she could have a tree planted in a new park at the south end of Trites Road It’s actually a little patch of grass with a kid’s slide and a view of the Harbour Authority’s chain-linked fence

To be fair, this was just a suggestion In a recent report from city staff regarding memorial benches and trees, city staff said it would try to accommodate a family’s wishes regarding location And for an added cost, they may also accommodate a family’s choice of tree

I asked the city about being able to bury

the ashes at the base but haven’t heard back on that I know scattering ashes here and there doesn’t jive with some people’s sensibility, but that’s them My father would love to know his remains were helping nourish the life of a young sapling

The second quibble I have is about a marker The report notes that no plaques or markers would be allowed on or in front of the tree for fear it could damage the tree

Obviously, harming the tree would defeat the purpose, but if we ’ re paying $650 to help grow the local tree canopy, a stated objective of the city, surely there is some way to recognize the person memorialized Vancouver doesn’t even charge for planting a memorial tree because planting trees aligns with the city’s vision

We need that kind of encouragement here not just because we don’t have graveyards, but because allowing people to honour their dead by planting new life is a beautiful and healthy way to celebrate not just an individual but the whole cycle of life

OPINION

ALR no sacred cow LETTERS

Dear Editor,

Re: “Province allows 150 acres out of the ALR,” News, March 9

I agree with council members, in that they should not have been left out of the land-use discussions loop when Ecowaste did an end run around them to secure its landfill/development site in East Richmond from the province

However, I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad decision

In spite of being within the ALR, it evidently has not been farming-viable if construction waste has been piling up there for decades And who is going to remove metres of waste to make it so, when Richmond is full of underutilitized exposed prime top soil?

Sustainable local agriculture should be part of a broader sensible landuse strategy, where poor or damaged land can be repurposed (slab-floor greenhouses and food processing being two recent hot topics) and still remain under general agricultural use

Every day I pass genuinely good

Strangers outside of Burkeville

Dear Editor,

farming land that is not being optimized if farmed at all This would be unimaginable in most other parts of the world

I’m all for local agriculture and preserving (and using) land for it, but treating ALR land as a “sacred cow, ” just because it falls within certain land parameters, isn’t necessary Mansions notwithstanding, as we enter a period of potentially severe food insecurity globally, the City of Richmond might focus more on fostering sustainable uses for agricultural and other lands in ways that optimize the genuinely good land that is just sitting fallow because the billionaire owner can afford not to farm it, or there are not enough farmers out there

These apparent gaps are opportunities in front of our eyes Serving existing farmers by providing discounts on irrigation water is just one other unrealized opportunity

We just recently moved from Burkeville into Richmond and it feels like we moved to a different country We moved from a community that took pride in its

neighborhood to a community that cares little past their front door

When walking my dog I’m watched with suspicion as I pass, with some crossing the street.

We’ve lived in Richmond for 30+ yrs and we’ve never felt more like strangers in our home.

Walkways plagued by dog poop

Dear Editor,

Dog waste continues to be an ongoing concern in Steveston (I’m sure in other parts of Richmond also)

Dog waste has created many problems, including contaminating soil and recycling bins, having to wash shoes after every walk and increased cleanup costs Personally, I am sick of having to constantly look at the ground in front of me as I walk through Steveston on public walkways to avoid dog waste!

I walk every day along the river and through Steveston and every day I notice more and more dog poo left behind by irresponsible pet owners on the walkways

It does not get nicely washed away by the

weather It stays there for days and weeks, spread by people stepping in it and bikes, etc

The only solution is for the city to go along these public sidewalks and power wash them

I’d like to walk and look at the sites along the river instead of my feet! Maybe the city would be better off ticketing these pet-owning offenders to teach proper etiquette and make the city additional income

I don’t like it when things have to constantly be monitored, but once again the problem is forced to be dealt with because of a few inconsiderate people.

Do something about this problem!

The City of Richmond is receiving $9 1 million in federal funding to build 18 “deeply affordable” homes for vulnerable people

The Minister of Housing

Ahmed Hussen was at Richmond City Hall on Monday morning to make the announcement, explaining the money is coming from the Rapid Housing Initiative, a $4 billion federal housing fund that began during the COVID-19 pandemic

To qualify for this funding, cities need to build the homes within 18 months

“Today is the beginning of hopefully more investments,” Hussen said at the announcement, adding that safe and affordable housing allows people, especially the most vulnerable, to “ pursue your dreams ”

“We understand housing is fundamental to making a difference in people’s lives it grounds people, it gives an opportunity for someone to have a sense of belonging and it creates better social and health outcomes, ” Hussen said Steveston-Richmond East MP Parm Bains said he was pleased to see this program

benefiting Richmond.

“(MP Wilson Miao) and I have been pushing (for housing),” Bains said “I think this could be the start of many different projects that we can try to bring here ”

A recent housing study, based on statistics from 2016, noted 25 per cent of all households in Richmond were spending more than 30 per cent of their income on housing

The study also noted 6,140 households in Richmond were in “extreme core housing need,” meaning they were spending more than 50 per cent of their income on housing. And, furthermore, from 2006 to 2016, the cost to

rent rose 4 5 times faster than household incomes

Where the 18 homes will be built and other details are still being worked out but should be announced within a month, Mayor Malcolm Brodie told the Richmond News

The money is meant for rapid construction of new housing, or for the acquisition of existing buildings for rehabilitation or conversion to permanent affordable housing

Another housing initiative, the Housing Accelerator Fund, coming online from the federal government, will earmark $4 billion to help cities expedite the permitting process to build new homes

Shady Island dike proposed

Maria Rantanen

Plans to build a 3 3-kilometre dike for ood protection from London Landing Garry Point Park encompassing hady Island is back on the table

The flood protection plan was proosed four years ago, and $1 2 million as spent on preliminary plans

The dike would enclose Steveston Harour and would include gates at the east and west ends, which would be closed during high water events

The dike would start at London Landing, cross the water and continue along the length of Shady Island and beyond, then curve back to Garry Point Park

When the city created its dike master plan, the need to protect Steveston was

identified as a priority

However, building a dike along the Steveston waterfront would have disrupted businesses and residences and wouldn’t have protected historical sites such as the Gulf of Georgia Cannery City staff are now planning to consult with the public and stakeholders on the project

Next steps include completing the second phase of the preliminary design, talking with the province about negotiating land tenure on Shady Island also called Steveston Island and working on the environmental assessment

They also plan to look for funding from senior levels of government

The dike plan is on the agenda for next week’s general purposes committee meeting

Warning: This story contains details of grooming and sexual exploitation of an under-aged person and may be disturbing to some readers

A Richmond man is facing jail after sexually exploiting a teenage student at the school he worked at as an educator

Steven Clarke, 31, met the victim in 2021 while working at a secondary school in North Vancouver

When school reconvened in 2022 after the winter break, he told the victim he had romantic feelings for her and the two exchanged numbers and later on, intimate text messages

During January and February 2022, Clarke asked the victim to send him photos of her

“Some of these photos constitute child pornography,” Crown prosecutor Michelle Merry told Richmond Provincial Court on Wednesday at Clarke’s sentencing hearing

In return, Clarke sent the victim a photo of his erect penis and a video of him having sex with another woman

During the same time, Clarke and the victim would meet in secluded spots at the school to kiss and engage in sexual touching

Clarke would also drive the victim to his Richmond apartment to have sex On one occasion, the victim had a pregnancy scare and Clarke gave her a Plan B (morning after) pill at school

However, the relationship between the pair came to light around Family Day last year after the girl’s mother discovered her daughter’s nude photos on certain devices

At that point Clarke and the student ceased contact

The court heard how Clarke spent one night in jail and later pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation on Jan 26, 2023

Excerpts of text messages between the two were read out in court One text from Clarke read, “Never stop being truly and madly in love with me. And I will always take care of you my future wife and mother of my kids ”

Merry told the court, “ making suggestions about marriage etc , the Crown says it’s very aggravating That is the kind of behaviour that is particularly damaging and confusing to victims of this age ”

According to the joint submission between prosecution and defence, an appropriate sentence for Clarke would be 21 months in jail followed by three years ’ probation. Conditions would include no contact with the victim, no contact or being in the presence of any female person appearing to be under 18, and no volunteer or employment positions involving being in a position of trust or authority to a female person under 18 (with exceptions)

Under the Criminal Code, the minimum sentence for sexual exploitation is 90 days and the maximum is two years Merry added, he had a “high degree of responsibility and moral blameworthiness” as someone who worked with teenagers. He was clearly “manipulative” when trying to have sex with the victim as seen from their text

A recent WorkSafeBC report revealed a young Richmond worker’s fatal work injury was caused by the lack of a designated walkway and an unsafe worksite

The Richmond News reported in May 2021 that a woman had succumbed to her injuries after an industrial accident in north Hamilton

According to WorkSafeBC’s investigation report, Tree Island Industries had violated the Workers Compensation Act and its own safety regulations by failing to ensure the health and safety of all workers and failing to provide a work area for safe movement

The 24-year-old worker, a chemical process engineer, was believed to have been struck by a forklift transporting coils of steel wire at an S-

curve intersection in the rod yard

“The (forklift operator) did not see (the worker) and it is not known why the (worker) did not or could not avoid the forklift,” reads the report

The worker was wearing a hi-vis vest at the time, which met regulations She had gone through a new hire orientation when she started working at Tree Island, and the forklift operator was qualified for his job

WorkSafeBC determined there was no separation between pedestrians and mobile equipment at the scene of the accident, which resulted in the two working in close proximity and “greatly increased the risk of a worker being struck by mobile equipment, as occurred in this incident ”

Tree Island also did not fully implement its health and safety measures,

as there were no worksite inspections of the rod yard, no regular safety meetings and no adequate control of hazards of mobile equipment

Report details worker’s death Man, 31, facing jail for sexually exploiting teenage student

“Although (Tree Island) appears to have had several systems in place to identify hazards and address risks, the risk of struck-by incidents in its rod yard was not adequately addressed and corrected prior to the incident,” reads the report

The report was completed on Jan 7, 2022, but only became available to the public this year

Since the incident, Tree Island implemented measures such as widening the roadway, implementing a designated walkway with a crosswalk and adding signs and gates at the site of the incident

Filming season kicks off

The filming season is well and truly up and running in the Steveston area this week, with at least two shows in production

Earlier this week, a production crew arrived at No 2 Road, just north of Moncton Street, to build an outdoor scene for the filming of CBS network’s U S legal drama So Help Me Todd

According to a neighbourhood notification letter, residents may experi-

Dead skunks test positive for avian flu

Eight skunks found dead in Richmond and Vancouver in late February have tested positive for avian influenza, a highly virulent disease responsible for decimating flocks of domestic poultry

B.C.’s chief veterinarian Theresa Burns said the skunks were initially turned over to B.C.’s Animal Health Centre under suspicions they had been poisoned in residential areas of the cities. But testing later revealed they were infected with the same strain of the H5N1 bird flu virus that has swept into farms in a series of outbreaks across the world.

Burns said this is the first time such a large cluster of H5N1-infected mammals have been found in a single geographic area

“We’re looking for signs of mam-

ence “minor disruption” as the production team works on creating the set from Monday through to Thursday

The film crew will not arrive until Friday morning, with the scene itself scheduled to be shot during Friday afternoon

Meanwhile, the Best of British store and Steveston Sweet Shoppe in Steveston Village are also being used for filming of an unknown TV show this week

The new lawn bowling clubhouse will be built, but at about 40 per cent smaller than originally planned

At Monday’s city council meeting, Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the budget for the project will remain the same, but because of escalating costs, the size has been reduced from the original plan of 4,900 square feet to between 3,100 to 3,300 square feet

This will reduce the amount of community amenity space that was supposed to be part of the new facility

When the city asked for tenders for the project, they came in a couple million dollars higher than the budget of $5 3 million City council approved building a new lawn bowling clubhouse in 2019 in a 5-4 vote

Some councillors wanted to build housing as part of the new facility, or add space for non-profits

malian adaptation,” said Burns. “That will help us determine: is there increased human health risk?”

The skunks likely became infected after eating dead wild birds carrying the virus, said Burns.

She repeated the Ministry of Agriculture and Food message, released in a press release Monday, that avian flu continues to pose a “low risk to human health.”

The eight skunks add to millions of wild and domestic animals that have been infected with bird flu since an international series emerged early in 2022.

Since then, outbreaks have swept North America, Europe and Asia over the past year

A woman was walking in Vancouver when a box on the street started to move To her surprise, there were three tiny bunnies inside that had been abandoned.

Sorelle Saidman, the founder of Rabbitats Rescue Society, received the call from the woman, who found the rabbits on Cardero Street and went to go pick them up on Tuesday.

“They were terrified They were frozen They were just terrified little beasts and they didn’t move for hours at all,” she says

Saidman describes the pet bunnies as purebred Holland lops, which are very desirable One of the rabbits is likely pregnant

“They are very thin and they need a bit of recovery time,” she says

Saidman believes the owners of the bunnies were irresponsible and questions if they tried

to rehome them

“I think had they made more of an effort to rehome the rabbits these guys were on the top of a want list So they were irresponsible in that respect,” she says

Currently, Rabbitats is being called every day with people trying to give away their pet rabbits

“Right now, if you get somebody who’s got a post-COVID bunny, and they’re going back to work, they can’t take care of their rabbit I don’t think there’s anybody who would be able to take those rabbits,” she told Glacier Media

She’s concerned about a possible feral colony of rabbits in Vancouver

“You dump a litter of five or six rabbits and they give birth every 31 days, their litters are getting bigger than ever, ” she says “It costs an awful lot more to take 40 rabbits out of the environment than it does to take two ”

She hopes municipalities will start making arrangements to take in rabbits

Musician plays along with bird songs

Nothing is better than a walk in the park with fresh air, chirping birds and background music?

Those who’ve been to Garden City Park this past winter have probably wondered what the soothing string music was and where it was coming from.

But if they walked towards the off-leash dog park, stopping just before Henry Anderson elementary, they would find Mr Xue, who has been playing the erhu (like a small violin) in tandem with bird songs.

The Richmond News caught up with Xue recently at his usual spot on a bench, where he explained how he began practicing the traditional Chinese string instrument in the park last September

“We live in a townhouse, so I might disturb the neighbours. Practicing here, on the other hand, won’t disturb anyone,” he said.

Xue said he first started playing the erhu when he started elementary school, but had to put it on hold for more than 40 years while trying to make a living.

“I had to work and didn’t have time to practice… I had to work to be able to eat,” he said.

Now that he’s retired and in his 60s, there’s no better time to pick up the hobby again and, for the last six months or so, he started playing again and has been practicing four hours a day at the park weather permitting.

And enduring the cold is also part of the practice.

“The colder it gets, the more you must persevere. Warm up your hands by blowing on them and keep going,” said Xue.

“The more you practice, the more agile your fingers will get.”

Xue hopes more people will be interested in traditional Chinese instruments such as the erhu, just as how Western classical instruments such as the piano and violin are popular back home.

And it seems that showing is always better than telling, as many community members often gather to listen to Xue perform.

“They would stand on the side and watch me practice. And when I take breaks, they would ask me about the instrument.”

Although Xue only speaks limited English, it never stops him from sharing the beauty of his favourite instrument.

“(People) would say, ‘What is this instrument? It sounds great!’ And I would tell them, ‘This is the erhu from China,’” he said.

Students compete in Japanese language

Students from two Richmond high schools excelled at an annual provincial Japanese speech contest last weekend

McMath secondary’s Kippei Shoji won first place in the intermediate category, while Richmond secondary’s Shawn Wu, Hailan (Helen) Tan and Katelyn Makihara came third in the beginner, intermediate and open categories, respectively, in the 35th annual British Columbia Japanese Speech Contest

A commendation for outstanding effort was also awarded to McMath’s Lexi Lawson who competed in the intermediate category

This year ’ s event saw 19 finalists speaking at UBC’s Asian Centre, which was also live-streamed online Wu, who explored the issues of being overly modest in his speech “Modesty and its Lies,” said he enjoyed the challenge despite it being a class requirement

“This was my first time entering the contest and while it was a little scary, it was also exhilarating and exciting!”

Grace Ho, one of several judges for the contest and a teacher at McMath, said the turnout for Richmond students in the high school category was especially impressive as only three high schools across the province had participated in last year ’ s contest

“I think it’s amazing To be able to give a speech in your first language is difficult enough Imagine doing it in a second,

third or fourth language ”

Speeches that impressed the judges the most, according to Ho, were those that connected personal experiences with cultural and historical topics, as well as those that discussed current social issues and challenges

Abby Young, a McMath student, chose to speak about understanding her grandparents’ experience with Alzheimer’s

“I had a lot of trouble coming up with a topic I was willing to write about, and one which would resonate with others,” she said

However, she describes the contest as “ a precious experience ”

“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a room with so many others who share a similar love of learning Japanese ”

Green delivery for Purolator

Purolator is transitioning to electric vehicles in Richmond, starting this month

Richmond is one of three cities along with London, Ont , and Quebec City to have 25 Ford Etransit vans deployed in March, with plans to add 55 Motiv Power Systems EPIC4 and 15 BrightDrop Zevo 600 models, along with several low-speed vehicles and electric cargo bikes (e-bikes) later in the year

In 2021, Purolator announced its green initiative plans for the Great-

er Vancouver area that would offer the same electric delivery system in Toronto and Montreal

The Canada-wide courier company announced it expects to invest approximately $1 billion to go green for its Canadian network over the next seven years, according to a Purolator media release

It is expecting to turn 60 per cent of its fleet into electric vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2030

“Purolator was the first Canadian

courier to launch fully electric curbside-delivery trucks nationally,” said John Ferguson, president and CEO of Purolator.

“Our ambition is to be the greenest courier company in Canada, and with this investment, Purolator will take yet another important step toward a more sustainable future and healthier planet ”

Purolator is looking to purchase 3,500 fully electric delivery vehicles and to go green at more than 60 of its terminals across Canada

New grocer for Garden City

The residents of a Richmond neighbourhood will finally get a new supermarket, 18 months after their longserving IGA closed its doors.

Garden City Shopping Centre at Garden City and Blundell roads is about to get a Save-On Foods, with the store set to open on Thursday, March 23 at 7 a m

People living in the area have been

desperate to get a supermarket option closer to home since IGA shut up shop in the fall of 2021

The Richmond News reached out to Save-On Foods last week for more details about the opening but have yet to receive a reply

The News reported at the time of the IGA closure how the supermarket staff at the time were not being retained by

the incoming Save-On Foods

Despite repeated attempts, the News was unable to get a response from either IGA or Save-On Foods

Staff at the IGA contacted the News at the time to say that none of the workers were unionized and none of them were being kept on when SaveOn moves in Alan Campbell/Richmond News

Cowboys preparing for ‘World Cup’ of hockey

PUZZLE ANSWER IN CLASSIFIEDS

“We thought the world cup may never happen, but it’s finally coming ”

These are the words of Richmond Cowboys Hockey Club manager Doug Collins as they prepare for the long-awaited 2023 Molson CARHA Hockey World Cup, being held right here in Richmond

Thousands of hockey players from across the globe will be gathering at ice arenas across Richmond for the world’s largest international adult recreational hockey tournament, which takes place in a different Canadian host city every four years, from March 19 to 26

Also known as the “Olympics of recreational hockey,” the tournament was initially scheduled for 2020, but due to the pandemic, it was continuously postponed

Collins told the Richmond News that the excitement levels within the club are “ really starting to mount” as the date of the tournament approaches

“Because you know something’s cancelled and you think ‘will it ever happen?’ But now we ’ re starting to realize this thing we ’ ve been waiting for a long time is actually happening,” he said

“It’s exciting to have this opportunity to play against teams from other countries and you don’t really get that unless you

Several generations of the Richmond Cowboys amateur hockey club are taking part in the CARHA World Cup, which kicks off this weekend at ice arenas across Richmond

travel outside (the province) and join other tournaments ”

The Cowboys have three teams taking part in the tournament in the 33s, 55s and 65s age categories, with the latter making its debut

“With the delay of the world cup coming, we all aged three to four years and we found we were in the wrong division, so we decided to form another team,” said Collins, adding the oldest guys regularly competed with their younger counterparts during the season

“The world cup ’ s probably going to be a stepping stone for our team to basically branch out and hopefully continue with three teams for future games to keep everybody playing ”

Richmond Cowboys was formed in 1979 by brothers who are east Richmond farmers, explained Collins

Fast-forward, the club is approaching its third generation of Cowboys, where the teams have had grandfathers, fathers and sons on the ice at the same time

“It’s pretty amazing when you think about it, and the kids are in minor hockey, too There’s a long history there,” said Collins

“This world cup makes it even more special for us as it’s our first time competing in it It’s probably a once-in-a-lifetime thing for us ”

Tuesday ladies tee off

WIDDESS, William John

July 12, 1942

February 26, 2023

Bill was a man that many describe as kind and giving. A retired Battalion Chief for VPD, he always made sure his people came first, including his family, which he loved more than anything in the world. He leaves behind his wife, Pam, after 50 years of marriage; daughter Nicole (Mike); son Sean (Lisa); as well as grandchildren Brooklyn, Sophia, Kate, Dante and Megan. In retirement, Bill and Pam enjoyed extensive travelling and managed to get to 5 of 7 continents. His passion for carving wood and soapstone was shared with many. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Vancouver Firefighters Burn Unit or Richmond Hospital Foundation, Palliative Care. We would like to thank Dr. Joshi and nurses Paulita and Tracy. Dad, you will forever live on in our hearts!
