City council approves drinking alcohol in three parks
MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news com
Drinking won’t be allowed in Hamilton’s McLean Park nor in Minoru Park – but some sections of Garry Point, King George and Aberdeen parks will allow alcohol consumption this summer
This was the final decision from city council last week, with only three city councillors voicing their opposition.
Couns Bill McNulty, Michael Wolfe and Chak Au were adamantly opposed to the revised plan, while Coun Laura Gillanders voted against it, but she also said she didn’t mind if the motion passed.
Both McNulty and Au said they hadn’t heard anyone asking for the city to allow drinking in the parks
Wolfe said he was concerned about safety issues, saying he wouldn’t want to take his young daughter to a park where there was drinking. He said, recently on visits to King George and Garry Point parks, he had seen broken bottles and discarded cans, even the remnants of a campfire
“Now, we’re going to have people showing up with coolers and trunkfuls (of alcohol),”
Wolfe told city council.
He suggested, instead of allowing open drinking, having a beer garden system with people supervised while drinking in certain areas
“Not this go around the corner and do things you’re not supposed to do – and then other things you’re not supposed to do,”
Wolfe said Day, on the other hand, called Richmond the most “conservative” city in the Lower Mainland, and felt the opposition was “overreacting”
“Let’s trust the citizens of Richmond – I believe they’re responsible,” she said
The motion to allow drinking in parks was voted down last week at a committee meeting, but when it came back to city council on Monday, Couns Andy Hobbs and Carol Day suggested some revisions, taking out Minoru and McLean parks
The pilot will begin in July after an official bylaw is passed – most likely at the first city council meeting in July – and will continue
until the end of September
Last week, Richmond’s medical health officer Meena Dawar spoke to city council on the motion, cautioning against “normalizing” alcohol consumption and saying, medically, the only safe amount of drinking was zero
Mayor Malcolm Brodie voted against the drinking motion last week because it included Minoru Park, which he opposed.
After Monday’s vote, he told the Richmond News he thought city council “arrived at a good place” after removing the two parks
“I believe it’s a reasonable way to have a pilot project on it,” he added
Furthermore, he said he’d spoken to other mayors in cities where drinking has been allowed in certain parks, and it was “no big deal” for them and they related to him they hadn’t encountered any problems
“I hope that’s our experience – we’ll see soon,” he said.
Reactions were mixed when the Richmond News asked people at two parks about allowing alcohol consumption On the one hand, some people weren’t overly concerned, but they did think there should be some limitations
At Aberdeen Community Park, Bianca Tamayo and Lorin Garcia felt limiting areas of the park for drinking would be helpful, and they also suggest imposing time limits for drinking alcohol
“I don’t know how they would enforce people not wildin’ out, but, in general, I think it’d be fine,” Garcia said. “I don’t think anyone’s
going to go too crazy with it, right?”
The proximity to play areas for children and potential disturbances to residential areas are some of their concerns
Jing Jin, who has a child and was at Aberdeen Community Park, is concerned allowing drinking in parks would be “unsafe” for kids
It was recommended that, during the pilot program, there be a 10-metre buffer between designated drinking areas and areas where youth and children normally congegrate such as ball diamonds, playgrounds and spray parks to “minimize the risk of adverse role-modelling”
The idea of limiting areas in the park for drinking was something Jin also suggested.
“For some older kids, they are allowed to drink alcohol, but they may not do some proper thing after drinking it,” she said “So, I think it’s a bad influence for the younger kids.”
Meanwhile, at King George Park, Antonio Agustin, who was visiting from Burnaby with family at the park, said he’s concerned about how it could be controlled
People are already bringing alcohol to parks, usually hidden, but telling them they can drink in the park might make it even more prominent, he said
And because parks are largely child-focused, the primary objective should be the safety of children
“Most the parks are for children, not for the old,” Agustin said.

Arrogant drivers need checked
Dear Editor,
As a senior citizen with mobility problems who has lived in Richmond for several decades, one thing I can say with certainty about living in this city is that incidences of the blatant misuse of handicap parking spaces is increasing with every passing year
The worst offenders of course are those arrogant individuals who do not have a handicap certificate and see nothing wrong with using those spaces
Second in line would be those who obviously do not have any mobility problems whatsoever but are either using someone else’s certificate or an expired one
The third candidates are perfectly healthy drivers who believe that having a passenger who is handicapped but remains in the vehicle during a stop makes it appropriate to use the handicap spot for their own convenience.
Such self-centred disregard for the welfare of those who actually need the convenience of being close to their destination rather than causing them to have to struggle across busy parking lots or streets has unfortunately become endemic

Culling geese to clean park is a bit overkill
Dear Editor,
Re: “Geese cull in Richmond park may ruffle a few feathers,” Letters, Richmond-News com June 25
With regard to the newly-renovated Minoru Lakes Park, I see the goose haters are already out in full force with their complaints
The problem is not the geese and their completely normal behaviour and body functions all living things have, including us.
It is two issues, one complex, the other simple The complex issue is the nature deficit disorder many people have - an inability to coexist with the natural world and an intolerance of wildlife to the degree of thinking nothing of killing the animals who have just as much right to live in peace as we do
The simple part, and the solution to this is a clean-up program.
The main objection to geese is their droppings (which by the way, are harmless and not carriers of disease; humans would have been wiped out by geese thousands of years ago if this were the case Check hospital records - no one is hospitalized because of goose poop.)
A clean-up program could be as simple as a volunteer effort (possibly for seniors, with the enticement of a lunch) or possibly a community service option for low level crimes.
Goose poop could even be made into fertilizer (it’s actually the best kind) and sold at the park!
A little creative thinking is called for here, not a death sentence.

Dear Editor, Ah summer…It’s 7 a.m.
As I lie in bed on my peaceful Sunday morning, the silence is shattered (every two minutes) by the sound of rumbling, backfiring, gearing down muscle cars
You see, I live at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Steveston Highway, and it’s usually a very quiet neighbourhood.
But now until October we’ll get to listen to all the cars rolling past to congregate at Garry Point for the Coffee and Cars Car Show. There are hundreds of cars so they come early as the parking lot fills up 9:30
Then they come and go for the rest of the morning
Don’t get me wrong, I love cars I grew up working on cars and I love a good car show as much as the next grease monkey.
Glass packs, camshafts love it What I don’t love, is being forced to listen to these cars every Sunday morning.
Why can’t they meet in a mall parking lot or an industrial area rather than a quiet residential neighbourhood.

Armoured vehicle called in near busy shopping mall
ALAN CAMPBELL
acampbell@richmond-news
com
People going about their business near a busy Richmond shopping mall were shocked to see an armoured police vehicle, loaded with officers in tactical gear.
The scene played out in the 11100 block of Horseshoe Way on Tuesday afternoon, just behind Ironwood Plaza shopping mall in south Richmond
The vehicle could be spotted with at least five officers in what appeared to be full tactical gear outside of a couple of businesses on the street at around 1:25 p m
At least five ERT (emergency response team) officers and and armoured vehicle were spotted Tuesday outside a Richmond business
The Richmond News reached out to Richmond RCMP, but we were referred to the
BC RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime unit (BC RCMP FSOC).
A spokesperson for the BC RCMP FSOC told the News that it, along with an emergency response team (IERT), were executing a search warrant at a business in that area
However, police were not prepared to say which business was involved
“For every search warrant, a comprehensive risk assessment is conducted to ensure the safety of all involved,” said the spokesperson
“While police had no reason to believe that there was any risk to the public and police, the assessment recommended the involvement of the specialized skills of IERT The search warrant was ultimately executed without injuries to anyone ”
The matter, added police, is still under investigation and “is isolated to this address, but linked to other locations There are no safety concerns to the general public ”
As the investigation is ongoing, police said no further details could be provided
Husband to stand trial for alleged sex assault on wife
VIKKI HUI
vhui@richmond-news com
Warning: The following story contains descriptions of sexual assault and may be disturbing to some readers.
A Richmond man standing trial for sexually assaulting his wife over six years was blocked in his attempt to get a mistrial.
The man, who can not be named to protect the victim’s identity, was accused of sexually assaulting his wife between 2015 and 2020. Incidents of sexual assault included while his wife was asleep and continuing intercourse
despite her protests and having to have sex with him “out of fear of what (he) might do to her”
He also faces other allegations.
During the trial before a jury that started last month,themanaskedforthechargeofsexual assault to either be quashed, divided into separate counts or for a mistrial to be declared
He claims he is prejudiced from having a fair trial because he has different defences for different incidents and the alleged occurrences of sexual assault were separated by incidents
of consensual sex between the parties.
His application was rejected by B C Supreme Court Judge Geoffrey Gomery on June 26
Judge Gomery acknowledged addressing sexual allegations taking place in intervals over a “lengthy” timespan is difficult because complainantscan’tbeexpectedtoprovidedetailed accounts of incidents and dates, while defendants may find it difficult to explain their own actions.
However, wrote Gomery, the law accepts that such cases should be tried despite the
41 Stores for Everything
difficulties.
He decided it was unnecessary to separate the allegations into different charges because allegations of sexual assault in familial relationships could be “sufficiently connected” and it did not matter in principle that the incidents were separated by “episodes of consensual sexual activity”
He also determined there was no “significant risk of unusual or exceptional prejudice” against the man for the charge and the case is “not out of the ordinary”

‘Wheelchair-bound’ woman suing Richmond hospital, doctors
VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news com
A woman is alleging Richmond Hospital misdiagnosed and mistreated a spinal condition, resulting in her becoming a “wheelchairbound paraplegic”
Kerri Ann Stutt first went to Richmond Hospital in March 2019 when she felt “severe pain to her posterior flank and back,” and complained about breathing difficulties, according to court documents
She was given pain medication and got lab tests and an X-ray of her chest during her 12-hour stay before being sent home Stutt claims she was not diagnosed and was instructed to return to the emergency department if her pain worsened
Stutt, who was 42 at the time, returned to Richmond Hospital a few days later, complaining that her legs were “shaking uncontrollably” and she felt numbness She was seen by a triage nurse at 8:05 p.m., who prioritized Stutt to see a physician within 30 minutes
Adoctorexaminedhermorethantwohours later, at 10:42 p m
Stutt claimed in her BC Supreme Court lawsuit that she “repeatedly complained” to nursing staff of worsening symptoms, urinary urgency and difficulty urinating while
she waited for a doctor. She also requested a catheter
“She suggests nursing staff were dismissive of her complaints,” read the lawsuit
Stutt got more lab work and medication overnight and complained of increasing numbness including not being able to move herlegssincethepreviousevening.By9a.m., a doctor noted Stutt had no sensation “below the T5 level and no reflexes”
An MRI scan was ordered later in the morning, which showed a spinal abscess displacing and narrowing Stutt’s spinal cord She was then transferred to Vancouver General Hospital, where she received surgery to decompress the abscess
In the lawsuit, Stutt alleges the care she received at Richmond Hospital “fell below the relevantprofessionalstandards”Shenowsuffers permanent disabilities and impairments including “loss of bowel and bladder function and serially recurring bladder infections” and needs a catheter and daily caring assistance
Hospital and doctors deny liability
Doctors Violet Wai Tak Hung and Patrick Qin Hua Chen, who treated Stutt at the hospital, were also named as defendants in the lawsuit Both Richmond Hospital and the doctors have denied liability
According to Richmond Hospital, Stutt was diagnosed with back pain during her first visit and all care, treatment and procedures provided to her were appropriate and rendered competently.
The hospital denies responsibility for causing or contributing to Stutt’s alleged injuries and suggested she was negligent and caused her injuries and losses through her failures to “properly report her symptoms,” seek medical attention “in a timely manner,” and follow medical advice.
The two doctors each claim to only have tended to Stutt during one of her visits, and outlined the examinations and treatment plans they ordered at the time
A third doctor, Richard Kam-Lai Chan, was
recently added to the lawsuit after a B.C. Supreme Court master granted an application from Stutt
Chan, who tended to Stutt both times, was added after Stutt’s lawyer discovered Chan didn’t make any notes while caring for Stutt during her second visit to Richmond Hospital
“(Stutt’s lawyer) argues that doctors have a positive obligation to take notes when they care for patients Where the required charting was not completed, the court can draw an adverse inference that no care was provided,” Master Bilawich wrote in his decision Chan opposed the application because it was filed after the limitation date for Stutt’s claim and it would not be just to add him at this point
Although Bilawich acknowledged Stutt’s lawyer had a two-month delay in applying to add Chan to the lawsuit, he determined it was debatable whether the limitation period had expired and the delay was not excessive.
He also said it would be fair to decide Stutt’s issues with Chan alongside her claims in the existing lawsuit, and the trial date was still “sufficiently distant” to allow Chan’s lawyer to prepare for trial
None of the claims have been proven in courtandthetrialisscheduledbeforeajudge on Apr 15, 2024

Councillor’s portrait removed from volunteer exhibit
MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@richmond-news com
A Richmond city councillor has expressed her appreciation to an artist who painted her portrait for a show
Unfortunately, city staff ordered it taken down and removed from the “Faces of Richmond” exhibit at the Minoru seniors centre
A volunteer art group, the Community Arts Council of Richmond, interviewed 14 Richmond seniors as part of the exhibit, whose tagline was “Every senior has a story to tell”
They asked Day to participate – as well as her 90-year-old aunt.
Day’s Richmond “story” started with her arriving as a fouryear-old from Denmark with her family
Nowhere in the interview does she talk about being a city councillor, nor is there any political spin, Day explained.
The removal of her portrait from the exhibit of a volunteerrun organization has given her some sleepless nights, as she greatly appreciated the artist’s portrait and the group’s work to pull together the exhibit, Day told the Richmond News
“These guys are just volunteers,” she said, adding she was concerned they felt humiliated and put on the spot.
Not only was her portrait and the QR code that linked to her interview removed, some of the brochures for the exhibit were shredded, she explained
“The artist is devastated – she thinks she’s done something wrong,” she added
When Day asked city staff why her portrait, painted by Iris Absolon, was taken down, she was told it was a city policy to ask all city councillors to participate in any such initiative
When Day pressed for the policy, she said she was told “it’s just the way we do things”
Day noted former city councillor Harold Steves was part of
Jagmeet Singh joins picket line
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh rallies with striking workers at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond
Iris Absolon painted this portrait of Richmond city councillor Carol Day. However, a city staffer decided it being put on display violated a policy. A policy which doesn’t appear to exist
an art exhibit while he was still on city council, whereby artists came and painted 13 paintings at his property on Ste-
veston Highway These were displayed at the Gateway Theatre and then later at Richmond City Hall just outside council chambers
Furthermore, Day noted three city councillors aren’t even seniors, so they couldn’t take part in the show that featured Richmondites over the age of 65.
Day took out a half-page ad in the Richmond News to thank the artist for her work
“I’m paying for this, it has nothing to do with RITE (party),” she said
Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he couldn’t comment on the situation because it was dealt with in a closed meeting.

Canada Day float hits power line, several people injured
ALAN CAMPBELL acampbell@richmond-news com
A Canada Day float from the Steveston Salmon Festival was involved in a scary incident just north of the village after the parade
A section of Francis Road, just west of Railway Avenue, was completely blocked off at around noon on Saturday
In photos taken by local resident Kristene Murray, the Richmond Community Concert Band float – which was being pulled by a semi-truck – was behind police cones at the site
Gordon Smith, president of the Richmond Community Band Society, told the Richmond News that their truck hit a power line crossing Francis Road Smith said that sparks flew as the truck caught the line
He said the driver stopped immediately and the emergency services were called Smith said the band members were told to stay on the float for their own safety, until BC Hydro arrived to shut off the power
It’s understood that several members of the band sustained injuries and some were taken to hospital Smith said that firefighters speculated that the power line had maybe sagged under the heat of the day.
A ScanBC post on Twitter indicated that there was a motor vehicle incident in the area at around the same time.
Multiple emergency services could be spotted at the scene, including several ambulances, a fire truck and a police vehicle.

Motive unknown for mysterious McDonald’s deliveries
VIKKI HUI
vhui@richmond-news com
The mysterious blitz of unsolicited McDonald’s orders that descended upon a Richmond neighbourhood last week were placed under different names, according to police.
Residents on Schaefer Avenue, near Gilbert and Francis roads, were spooked to find unsolicited McDonald’s deliveries at the doorsteps of all even-numbered houses on the street on Tuesday, June 27
After an investigation, Richmond RCMP concluded all orders were placed through a food delivery service app at around 7:44 p m earlier that night
“The motive behind these deliveries remains unknown,” said Cpl Adriana O’Malley, Richmond RCMP spokesperson
O’Malley added that police have not identified unsolicited deliveries as a prelude to break-and-enters
No further reports about simultaneous and unsolicited food deliverieshavebeenmadetoRichmondRCMPasoflastThursday and the public is asked to report any suspicious circumstances to police
A resident of Schaefer Avenue told the News that he and his
Police (above, right) were called to investigate a mysterious series of unsolicited McDonald’s deliveries (above) last Tuesday night
neighbours had no idea why they all got a free McDonald’s delivery.
George Wu found two bags containing a cheeseburger with extrashreddedlettuce,alargeCokeandlargefriesonhisdoorstep
Wu, along with at least seven other even-numbered houses in his neighbourhood
All the orders were different, added Wu, who walked along his Schaefer Avenue street with police officers, who were picking up the unsolicited deliveries
A neighbour spotted what appeared to be a delivery driver dropping off all the food, he said
Wu called the RCMP non-emergency line because he found the deliveries to be suspicious.

News launches Pet of the Week with BCSPCA
Up for adoption are Howie the dog and Rocky and Pixel the bunny buds
ALAN CAMPBELL acampbell@richmond-news com
The Richmond News has once again teamed up with the BCSPCA’s Richmond Animal Shelter to bring our loyal readers a “Pet of the Week ”
Each week the News will feature an adoptable pet or pets that the newly-refurbished shelter on No. 5 Road has in its care
To kick off the new feature, the News paid a visit to the shelter to meet, in person, this week’s pets
The first port of call in the shelter saw us bump into a pair of bunny buddies, called Rocky and Pixel, who are basically tied at the hip and clearly both go to the same bunny barber
The adorable pair was super curious to see us there and immediately hopped over to check us out
Shelter manager Krista Shaw said they’ve had them in their care for several months and are surprised the “lovable pair” has yet to find a forever home

Howie lacks manners but oozes love
At the far end of the complex, we were introduced to one the shelter’s most recent additions, Howie, an 18-month-old German shepherd cross
To say Howie is friendly is putting it mildly When we entered his outdoor pen he couldn’t get enough of us, in the nicest possible way.
As Shaw pointed out, however, Howie, who was surrendered to the shelter about a week ago, is still “working
on his manners” and thought nothing of running directly into the arms of the News reporter and photographer.
But, still being just a big pup, he will be very open to being trained by the right human for him and seemingly has endless love to give.
Shaw said he does have very high energy levels, however, and will need a great deal of exercise
“He’s so easy to please he’s very affectionate and loves people,” added Shaw.
“He’s never lived indoors before, so we’re working on getting him used to that We’re still figuring out how he is with other dogs.”

A Grade 5 Richmond student hosted a lemonade stand after learning that her teacher dug into her own pockets for a class art project
Lily Bailey, 10, was inspired by her teacher to buy art supplies and start an art club with funds raised from the stand
Bailey’s lemonade stand raised about $376 after being open for about four hours on No 1 Road and Bayview Street on Sunday
“People passing by were very nice and
I felt really proud of myself,” said Bailey She also got a hand from her younger sister and three friends
Leah Bailey, Lily’s mom, told the Richmond News the manager at Goodco in Steveston was “impressed” by what her daughter was doing and donated snacks and extra ice to the girls to help with the cause
“The customers were so impressed with (Lily’s) kind heart,” said Leah.
“I’m so darn proud of her She’s a super kind and thoughtful kid and has always been”

Flower power rules at special Canada Day event
VIKKI HUI
Vhui@richmond-news com
Richmond’s friendly neighbourhood florist has brought the community together with another colourful celebration
Around 70 people donned flower crowns and created beautiful bouquets to celebrate Canada Day outside Cambie Community Centre on Sunday, July 2
“Witnessing the tremendous turnout for our event has filled us with an overwhelming sense of excitement and gratitude,” said organizer Jane Lee, known for her community flower workshops
Lee told the News she saw a need for engaging community activities such as flower arrangement workshops, “which can instill hope, spread joy, and cultivate a sense of peace among people from various backgrounds”
To put the event together, Lee enlisted the help of fellow residents and received funding from the City of Richmond’s Neighbourhood Celebration Grant
Although the event was initially planned to have a capacity of 50 people, the tickets were sold out within a day and around 70 people showed up for the event
“I felt like the old story of (five loaves and two fish), people keep coming and we keep serving with the same amount of resources,” said Lee
“It’s just incredible like a miracle”
Hundreds turn out for annual Summer Concert in the Park event
VALERIE LEUNG
Vleung@richmond-news.com
Equality and inclusivity were the main themes for Richmond’s second annual Summer Concerts in the Park event.
Hundreds of people were at the concert event, organized by the Stop Anti-Asian Hate Crimes Advocacy Group, celebrating the day with a lion dance and diverse cultural performances as well as market stalls and activities at Cambie Community Park on July 2
An anti-discrimination graphic design contest was also held
and young artists received awards for their submissions to promote inclusivity
Ivan Pak, organizer of the advocacy group, said the event’s theme was to remind people of the Chinese Immigration Act, which was enacted 100 years ago and excluded Chinese Canadians for 24 years before it was repealed in 1947
Independent Sen. Yuen Pau Woo, who was also in attendance, added the act was “a huge mistake” the Senate of Canada made 100 years ago and “we have to think how we make sure it never happens again”
Summer Concerts in the Park event was held at Cambie Community Park this past weekend

Q:What can I do now to assist my family?
A:
Most people do not like to think about their own death or the death h of a close family member Still, a death of a family unit occurs, on the e average, once every 12 years It is a time of decision making, often in the e midst of deep sorrow Some people are unprepared to cope with the responsibilities s that must be faced. Yet, the decisions to be made are most times irreversible.
• Put your affairs in order now – there are many things to consider Putting your affairs s in order now may spare others from anxiety and expense at the time of death.
• Appoint an Executor/Executrix
• Have a valid Will in an accessible and safe location
Remember the importance of pre-planning. Making your wishes known in advance e can do much to help loved ones carry them out. Discussing arrangements with your r family is essential as the funeral affects them most directly

How can I avoid painful leg cramps?
Have you been rudely awakened from sleep by the infamous nocturnal leg cramp or “charley horse ” And though these occasional cramps usually are not serious, they are undeniably painful and downright annoying Often the exact cause of leg cramps is not known, however, they are most often associated with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance That said, and you’ve heard it before, drinking the optimal amount of water - 7 to 8 eight-ounce glasses of water per day - is the first line of defense against “charley ” Staying hydrated is also important for overall health, so the water speech bears repeating! Further, simple calf stretches before bed may also stave off cramps Just remember, when stretching, to take it slowly Jolting right into a deep stretch and quick bouncing motions through the stretch are mistakes that can cause injury. Supplementation with calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin E may also help And make sure your pelvis is in good alignment, to ensure proper nerve flow into your legs Call us for your complimentary consultation
Q: A:
I have been wearing dentures for many years and they are to the point that my gums are extremely sore and red: what can I do?
Soft tissue management is the answer you are seeking Rehabilitation of soft tissues is primary First, your dentures require cleaning to remove offensive organisms that may be contributing to the inflammation and edema (swelling). Tissue conditioners (temporary soft lining material) are placed on the tissue fitting surface of your dentures to provide a clean positive adaptation to your gum tissues. Healing begins and your tissues are reassessed in a week to confirm the progress of healing Generally a second and or third tissue conditioner may need to be applied before proceeding to the construction of new dentures New dentures promote a healthy clean fitting surface for many years If you have any questions regarding this procedure or any other denture related subject, please book your free consultation with us

I have just taken up carving and am curious as to what are good woods for this hobby? Q: A:
Here are some of the best woods for carving, based on my experience and preferences
• Basswood: This is one of the most popular woods for carving, especially for beginners It is soft, easy to cut, and has a fine grain that does not interfere with the details It is also inexpensive and widely available Basswood is ideal for small and intricate carvings, such as figurines, ornaments, or spoons
• Walnut: This is a hardwood that has a rich brown color and a smooth texture It is harder to carve than basswood, but it holds its shape well and has a natural luster Walnut is suitable for larger and more complex carvings, such as furniture, bowls, or chess pieces
• Mahogany: This is another hardwood that has a reddish-brown color and a straight grain It is moderately hard to carve, but it has a uniform density and a fine finish.
Mahogany is perfect for elegant and refined carvings, such as boxes, frames, or musical instruments
• Pine: This is a softwood that has a light yellow color and a distinctive smell. It is very easy to carve, but it can be prone to splitting and cracking Pine is great for rustic and simple carvings, such as signs, toys, or birdhouses
• Cherry: This is a hardwood that has a warm reddish color and a tight grain. It is moderately hard to carve, but it ages well and develops a beautiful patina. Cherry is excellent for sophisticated and graceful carvings, such as vases, clocks, or jewelry

Dr. Carol Reddin
A:
You’re going to lose access to local news on Facebook and Google.
Dear readers,
Your access to local, provincial and national news is going to be revoked on Google, Facebook and Instagram. And it’s not because of anything we’ve done
Recently, Canada passed the Online News Act, also known as Bill C-18, which has led to a standoff between the government, Google and Meta the parent company behind Facebook and Instagram.
Both Google and Meta have said they plan to cut ties with the news industry in Canada as a result.
This means Meta will block the posting and sharing of our news articles on Facebook and Instagram. Google will also remove links to our sites and articles in Google News, Discover and search results They’ll also cancel significant content licensing agreements already in place with our parent company, Glacier Media.
Undoubtedly, this will have a huge impact not solely on us but, more importantly, on people like yourself who may use these platforms to discover what’s happening in your community and to get context to events happening in your own backyard
We’re not planning on going anywhere, but here’s how you can help:
1. Sign up for our free daily newsletter by scanning the QR code. (And encourage your family and friends to do the same.)
2. Follow us on Twitter.
3. Bookmark our website as the homepage on your devices.
4 Consider becoming a member if you aren’t already Your support will help us continue to cover local stories, by locals
5 If you own/operate a local business, consider supporting local by placing ads with 100% Canadian-owned media outlets, like us.
With your help, more people will be able to get their local news from a trusted source. In today’s age of misinformation, that’s more important than ever
Thank you We appreciate you
Sincerely,

Thousands cheer 2023 Steveston Salmon Festival parade
ALAN CAMPBELL acampbell@richmond-news.com
Thousands of people poured onto the streets of Steveston on a sunny Saturday morning for the 2023 Salmon Festival parade. Dozens of beautifully decorated floats, representing all sections of the community, came along the route through the village.
They were cheered on by a jubilant crowd, excited to see the return of all the in-person, Canada Day festivities for the first time since the pandemic in 2020
After the parade, it was time to enjoy the other highlights of all things Steveston on July 1: the traditional salmon bake, beer garden and live entertainment, all culminating with fireworks at dusk.
