Little league baseball champs reunite after 50 years

VIKKI HUI vhui@richmond-news.com

“They’re all super kids They were when I coached them, and they still are.”

Ninety-four-year-old Frank Kika is still full of admiration for the “kids” he coached on the 1970 North Richmond all-star Little League team

The local heroes now mostly in their 60s recently came together for a long-awaited reunion, more than 50 years after snatching the 1970 Western Canadian Little League championship in Manitoba when they were 12 years old

Players and their families descended upon Pioneer’s Pub on No 3 Road on Saturday evening for a trip down memory lane over refreshments, solid and liquid which they weren’t old enough to enjoy back in the day.

The team, led by captain Ricky Fellardeau, was made up of young kids from various neighbourhoods, including north and east Richmond and even the old Queensborough neighbourhood

The teammates were the cream of the crop who were often featured in the Richmond Review

“We were underdogs, we weren’t supposed to win,” said second baseman Gregg Baydala

“We played against Brandon (East) in the final They were heavy favourites, and they went up two-nothing”

Against all odds, the North Richmond team managed to turn things around and won 17-3. Fellardeau still remembers the excitement

when the team “won everything.” Not only did the team get pizza to celebrate, but they were also met with enthusiastic fanfare when they returned home and received a certificate of appreciation from then-mayor Gil Blair. Although the team didn’t get the chance to compete in the World Series, due to unknown reasons, Fellardeau is confident they would have “done really well” if they had had the opportunity

Taking a trip down memory lane

Thefirstorderofbusinessatthereunionwas to catch up on each other’s lives most of the teammates had not seen each other since they were 12 years old.

“I don’t think too many sports teams get together for reunions like this And it’s nice to see one of the coaches is here,” said Baydala Although they’ve now long grown past puberty, the former teammates were still able to

recognize each other without difficulty Beingthecaptainandthetallestontheteam reaching six feet, three inches at 12 Fellardeau has remained a focal point to this day and was pointed out to a reporter from the News as the tallest in the room

“So everybody would always be yelling, ‘Where’s that guy’s birth certificate? Where’s his birth certificate?’” recalled Fellardeau, who is now the same height as he was when he was 12.

The 1970s was a great time for Richmond baseball, Fellardeau told the News, and the team was a “moulded group” that enjoyed being in Manitoba and playing in the championship

“We all got along and We were young 12-year-olds, but we kept our egos in check And we listened to our coaches and we followedthepath Youdon’tgetthatnowadays,” said Baydala

One thing that kept the team together was their determination to defy the odds.

“Like Gregg (Baydala) said, nobody thought we’d make it,” said Fellardeau But the North Richmond team never gave up.

“We could be down five runs and it’s, like, not a big deal”

And you can’t forget the coaches

Fellardeau’s dad, Jim Fellardeau, and Frank Kika dedicated a lot of time to coaching the team, Fellardeau and Baydala told the News

“They gave up their holidays for us all-stars Because somebody had to do that. And we were very lucky they did,” said Baydala

From left to right: (Top row) Gary Zecchel, Rick Fellardeau, Warren Oikawa; (middle row) Frank Kika (coach), Bill Haddow, Mark Rempel, Will Cardwell, Gord Friesen, Ron Millos, Randy Sansregret; (bottom row) Greg Baydala, John Alfano Missing from the photo are Jeff Jordan, Ranj Deol and coach Matt Graham, as well as deceased members including head coach Jim Fellardeau (Ricky Fellardeau’s father), Pete Zazzara and Tom Climick

Break-in signals need for policing change

Dear Editor,

In the wake of a recent burglary, I received a communication from the RCMP updating me on the status of the case While I am grateful for the RCMP’s effort, I can’t help but express my deep-rooted frustration and concern over the apparent lack of commitment to resolving burglary cases in our community

Shortly after reporting the burglary, it became clear that my case had been downgraded and closed. This is alarming, given the audacity with which the perpetrator acted Itsuggestsagrowingsentimentamongcriminals that the RCMP’s current approach offers them a de facto shield This situation could embolden would-be burglars to continue their illicit activities, secure in the knowledge that the RCMP lacks either the resources or the will to effectively respond

This isn’t merely an indictment of the local branch of the RCMP; it’s reflective of a larger issue The RCMP is stretched thin across Canada, compromising its efficacy in safeguarding public property and community security

Remember basic road rules

Dear Editor,

With the return to school coming upon us quickly, I think we should remind some drivers of the rules of the roads.

lines there )

Our local law enforcement is operating under severe constraints, both in terms of manpower and resources, and this has evolved into a chronic problem crying out for innovative solutions

In my specific case, there were potential leads that could have been explored more aggressively For instance, dashcam footage from the burglary partially captured the perpetrator’s face a metre away With advanced AI technology, this evidence could be enhanced to generate a clearer image in less than a minute Yet, the RCMP seems disinclined to take such measures.

This lack of initiative is particularly disappointing given that I’ve previously invested significantly in a security camera system precisely to aid law enforcement in instances like this

I propose to let the RCMP focus on federal responsibilities and allow local government agencies to handle community policing

1 Slow down and obey the speed limit

(This is not a suggestion, it’s the law)

2. Come to a complete stop when a crosswalk is occupied

(It’s not a race to see who can get to the middle of the intersection first )

3. Come to a complete stop behind the double white line at all red lights and stop signs

(That’s why there are all those nice white

4 Richmond has a lot of new drivers and they need to be aware that the cars they are driving are heavy, fast moving, dangerous machines (If unclear on this concept just reread 1-3 )

5. The speed limits in and around schools is 30 km/h

Lastly, just slow down as your life, your children’s lives and the lives of others are worth more than you saving a couple minutes by speeding

I am inawheelchair andlive onthesecond floor in a condo complex and rely on our elevator On Friday, when I got home from an outing, the power had been out for several hours and no one could estimate when it would be restored I was stranded for who knew how long I was in a bit of a panic

I phoned Richmond Fire-Rescue and within minutes several firefighters arrived, transferred me to my manual wheelchair (my motorized one that I was in would have been too heavy to lift), and physically hoisted me up two flights of stairs Outstanding As a community, we are fortunate to have them I can’t thank them enough

Amazon driver’s van stolen by 2 gunmen

ALAN CAMPBELL acampbell@richmond-news com

Police are appealing for dashcam footage, after a delivery driver in Richmond was robbed at gunpoint by two masked men

The incident happened at around 12:30 p m on Sunday, Aug 13 on Cooney Road, between Lansdowne Road and Westminster Highway

According to the RCMP, police were called in after a delivery driver reportedly had his van taken at gunpoint by the two masked suspects.

He was unhurt in the heist and the van was last seen heading eastbound on Westminster Highway.

Police would not confirm what company the van belonged to, but the Richmond News understands it was an Amazon van.

The call went out to neighbouring police agencies, with Delta Police Department, Surrey RCMP, Metro Vancouver Transit Police and LMD Integrated Police Dog Services all called into action

The van, however, like most delivery vehicles, was equipped with GPS track-

ing and it was quickly tracked down to Highway 91 heading toward the Alex Fraser Bridge, before being followed into Surrey

Shortly afterwards, a 29-year-old man was arrested in the 7000 block of 149A Street in Surrey and the delivery van was also recovered and towed to the Richmond RCMP detachment

A second suspect, a 27-year-old man, later turned himself into Surrey RCMP Both suspects are being held in custody for court.

This incident, said police, is a “testament to the Richmond detachment police officers and their commitment to maintaining a safe community here in Richmond,” said Staff Sgt Simon Lee, C Watch Commander, Richmond RCMP

“Furthermore, it highlights the willingness of our neighbouring law enforcement agencies to assist at a moment’s notice and work together to arrest those responsible”

A suspended Richmond lawyer is being investigated for allegedly advertising her services on a Chinese-language social media platform.

Hong Guo, who was banned in March from practicing for a year amid a catalogue of professional misconducts, appears to be soliciting for business on WeChat.

The Richmond News was made aware this week of ads on the site which have her photo and company name on them, with the translation reading “immigration, notary, wills and companies”

The Law Society of British Columbia confirmed to News on Thursday that it is looking into Guo’s potential breach

Suspended lawyers are legally prohibited from practicing law in B C during their suspension, and they are forbidden from indicating or implying that they are qualified or entitled to practice law

Guidelines from the Law Society state that suspended lawyers should cease marketing and either remove online presence indicating they are a practising lawyer or include a“prominent notice of suspension” on their online pages

Guo’s law firm operates out of an office on No

Hong Guo’s ad spotted at the bottom of an article recently published on WeChat.

3 Road and she is a former legal specialist for the government of the People’s Republic of China

Her suspension began on March 8 earlier this year after the Law Society stopped short of disbarring her

Guo is still facing more than two dozen Law Society investigations and nine citations, and was found to have committed professional misconduct in various instances

Examples include failing to avoid conflicts of interest, failing to comply with trust accounting rules, misappropriating from a trust account and being “evasive and untruthful” during a Law Society investigation

Social media account to bridge language gap: MLA

VALERIE LEUNG Vleung@richmond-news com

A Richmond MLA says he has no privacy concerns over the B C government opening up an account on a Chineselanguage social media platform, which is understood to be censored by the Chinese government.

The NDP’s Henry Yao, MLA for Richmond South-Centre,

was answering questions about the government’s announcement last week that it has a verified account on Weibo to share provincial updates, programs and news.

Yao said B C’s move to create a Weibo account will not only help decrease language barriers for many Chinesespeaking individuals but also tackle any misinformation

being spread around However, concerns have been expressed by some that the move will make it easier for the Chinese government (CCP) to monitor the Chinese community here in B C YaotoldtheRichmondNews there are no privacy concerns about his government’s use of Weibo

“Anything that will be pub-

lished will focus on news and government updates for public awareness,” he said.

“This is our government’s way to create a more inclusive, welcoming environment to build bridges for conversations and dialogues”

Yao noted that a “lot of people aren’t comfortable, due to the language barrier, to reach out for help”

“We want to help those constituents who live in Richmond,especiallynewcomers, to learn and receive proper services and information that they are entitled to.”

The B C Ministry of Municipal Affairs spokesperson Jill Dickau told the News’ parent company Glacier Media B.C. residents do not need to register on Weibo or download the app to see the B.C. government’s posts

But Fenella Sung, with the Canadian Friends of Hong Kong, said the account de facto encourages British Columbians to do so

“I think this is another wilful blindness operation because there is no way that any measure would be able to safeguard the individual devices of British Columbians against infiltration and control of the [Chinese Communist Party]; so they have chosen to ignore the issues,” said Sung, who also works as a translator, writer, broadcaster and intercultural communicator

Concerns over the government’s move to launch an account on Weibo come as Canada grapples with questions over foreign influence and alleged interference in elections by the People’s Re-

public of China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“Connecting to Weibo is connecting to the CCP surveillance system,” said Ivy Li, also a writer and member of Canadian Friends of Hong Kong, which advocates for democratic reform in China.

Dickau said a third-party contractor is responsible for day-to-day account administration “at arm’s length from government”

Further, Dickau said the B C government is not retaining any public information and “no private information is shared on the government’s Weibo channel”

Woman, dog attacked

MARIA RANTANEN

mrantanen@richmond-news com

The BC SPCA is investigating after a woman and her dog were allegedly attacked and bitten by two loose dogs in Seafair two weeks ago

Richmond RCMP were called to the 9300 block of Piermond Road, close to Dixon elementary, on Aug. 12 for the incident

According to the Richmond RCMP, the woman said she was walking her dog when two other dogs approached and started attacking her dog.

At least three people allegedly suffered dog bites while

attempting to separate the dogs, according to police

The owners of the two dogs then arrived and were able to take their dogs back inside their home

They told police their dogs were in their yard and, unbeknownst to them, had escaped

The owners said they heard a commotion outside and came out to see what was happening, at which time they discovered their dogs had escaped

Richmond RCMP reported the incident to the BC SPCA and City of Richmond’s bylaw department

480 not added by TransLink

MARIA RANTANEN

mrantanen@richmond-news com

TransLink is rolling out its fall service increases, including a bus directly from West Vancouver to UBC But this doesn’t include reinstating the 480 bus that travelled directly from Richmond to UBC but was cancelled during the pandemic

A TransLink spokesperson explained in July to Richmond city council how the transit authority didn’t have the resources to reinstate the

480 and claimed taking the Canada Line and transferring to UBC buses in Vancouver was just as fast TransLink’s vice-president of planning, Sarah Ross, told city council at that time there were other areas, for example, South of the Fraser, where demand has increased and needed more service

She added resources for the 480 bus which included 12 buses and 25 drivers were reallocated around the region.

In place of the 480 bus from Bridgeport to UBC, those commuting to UBC are encouraged to take the Canada Line and transfer to express buses on 41st and 49th avenues in Vancouver

A Richmond resident and student, James Yu, collected about 800 signatures on a petition to reinstate TransLink’s 480 Richmond-UBC bus

The West Vancouver express service, the 44 bus, will go between UBC and Dundarave.

A few Richmond drivers learned what it means to be designated drivers after failing a sobriety check.

LastSaturday,RichmondRCMP’s Road Safety Unit caught three impaired “designated drivers” on the road during a 90-minute operation Officers blocked off the east end of Dinsmore Bridge during the early morning hours of Aug. 12, and removed the

impaired drivers off the road

“There are many safe ways to get home after a night out, including having a designated driver but unfortunately, these three drivers failed to understand what it means to be a ‘designated driver,’” said Cpl. Adriana O’Malley, Richmond RCMP spokesperson “Fortunately, these drivers were safely removed from the road and no one was injured but, if you find yourself in a similar situation, leave your car behind and find another way home.”

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,

The Richmond News team

Tugboats, sailboats and fishing vessels at Maritime Festival

MARIA RANTANEN

mrantanen@richmond-news com

At least 14 boats have been confirmed for the Richmond Maritime Festival, taking place this weekend at Britannia Shipyards in Steveston. The boats vary from the Gikumi tugboat/passenger boat, that will give tours around Richmond’s islands, to the SS Master, the last working steam-powered tug that festival visitors can tour, right down to the massive engine room

This Saturday and Sunday is the 20th time the festival will be put on at the Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site

The name of the Gikumi is a First Nations word meaning “chief”

When the boat was built, permission was obtained from Namgis First Nation to use the name, explained its current owner John Turpin Gikumi was launched on Labour Day in 1954 and until the 1980s, it delivered freight and towed logs from its home port in Telegraph Cove It was also a pilot boat and helped dock ships.

After the Telegraph Harbour mill

shut down, it became the first whale-watching boat in B.C.

In the 1990s, when the movie Free Willie was being filmed, the live shots were done from the Gikumi

As a whale-watching boat, it hosted George HW Bush and his wife Barbara, along with former British prime minister John Major and his wife Norma.

Turpin bought the tugboat about four years ago, and set about refurbishing the hull with 30 new ribs

While it wasn’t cheap to fix the boat, Turpin said he was “fortunate the boat was always well looked after” before he bought it

And now it’s ready for another 50 years of service, he added

“Theresomethingaboutawooden boat,” Turpin said. “It’s got soul, a solid feel.”

Turpin hopes the tour, which costs $90 per person, will show the historical importance of the river and coastline. He pointed out before there were highways, marine transportation was how everything happened on the west coast.

Boats that will be at the Maritime

Festival include tugboats, fishing boats, sailboats and schooners. All were either built on the west coast or worked on the west coast

The SS Master, built 101 years ago, is the last fully operational woodenhulled, steam-powered tugboat in North America MaritimeFestivalvisitorscanclimb aboard there is no charge and

learn about its history.

Below deck, they can see the boat’s Royal Navy surplus steam engine,broughtfromScotlandin1916

“That engine is a testament to that whole era of steam power,” explained David Bradford, vice-president of the SS Masters Society

The SS Master was built in 1922 by Arthur Moscrop at the Beach

Avenue Shipyard in False Creek and plied the waters until 1962 at which timeitwasboughtbytheSocietyfor the Preservation of the Steam Towboat Master in North Vancouver It’s been owned by the SS Master Society since 2011

High winds stall paddlers

The largest dragon boat festival outside of Vancouver concluded successfully on Saturday with just a small hiccup

More than 2,000 paddlers arrived at Imperial Landing on Aug 19 to compete in the annual Richmond Dragon Boat Festival

The regatta had to be suspended, however, for around four hours between 10 a.m. and 2 p m due to strong winds and choppy waves, but it resumed after organizers axed the 500-metre races

Only the 200-metre races were held in the end, and of the 80 teams that signed up for the event, around 10 withdrew due to safety concerns.

Despite the interruption, spirits were high on the docks and participants paddled with all smiles as community

Garlic treats at festival

VALERIE LEUNG vleung@richmond-news com

Thousands of people came to the Richmond Sharing Farm on Sunday for a festival celebrating all things garlic

The 13th annual Richmond Garlic Festival saw community members trying garlicflavoured items such as garlic ice cream, scones and

popcorn as well as learning about the farm

Aside from food, entertainment and workshops, the festival focused on teaching visitors about food insecurity and sustainable agriculture.

Sharing Farm executive director Sarah Drewery told the News she was excited to see people visiting the farm

to learn about how food is grown and have fun

“It’s great to see so many people just visiting and getting a glimpse of what we do here at the Sharing Farm while enjoying some garlic ice cream,” said Drewery. “We want people to know what we do here and what growing fresh produce is like.”

Walls needed for murals

ALAN CAMPBELL acampbell@richmond-news com

If you’ve got a dreary-looking wall that needs a facelift, the City of Richmond wants to hear from you

The city is launching its fifth annual Community Mural Program and is inviting property owners, organizations, stratas and non-profit groups to offer walls to be painted by artists

Selected applicants will be notified in early October and city staff will then match them with a pre-qualified artist to create the mural and manage the creation process Locations must be visually accessible to the general public and meet a few additional requirements Private, single-family properties are not eligible.

“We are so very pleased that we have been able to participate in the City of Richmond Community Mural Program,” said Rosemary Nickerson, chair of the Richmond AquaticAdvisoryBoard.“This has allowed for two large and vibrantly colourful murals

to have been created at Steveston and South Arm Outdoor Pools The murals have brought enthusiastic excitement and positive comments by many passing by these murals describing how they portray the surroundings and feelings of each of the communities they are displayed in”

Since the launch of the Community Mural Program in 2019, there have been 20 murals completed throughout Richmond including:

· Journey Home by Nicole

Larsen at the Steveston Outdoor Pool (4151 Moncton St )

Lineup spotted at thrift store

Last week it was fondue pots this week it will be an antique bridge board and baby rattles on sale at the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store in Steveston

The thrift store, that supports health-care in Richmond, regularly posts on its Facebook page special items that it receives as donations for sale.

The fondue pots were a hit with at least one RichmondNewsreaderwhopickeduptheyellow Dansk set

In fact, when the reader, Ingrid Veilleux, went shopping there recently, she found a lineup in front of the thrift store

The latest batch of antiques will be available at noon on Aug 26

This assortment includes a set of sterling and mother of pearl knives from Birks, two vintage baby rattles, various pillboxes as well as an Autobridge bakelite board in mint condition

Pet of the Week: Lucy

ALAN CAMPBELL acampbell@richmond-news.com

She was found tied to a post outside of the Richmond Animal Shelter and now she’s looking for a new home

Lucy, the one-year-old German shepherd, was found outside of the shelter on No. 5 Road more than two months ago and has warmed to the BCSPCA staff and other dogs

According to shelter staff, she is very shy and is looking for a patient family that can work with her to gain her trust

Lucy, staff say, is “slowly learning to trust us and is starting to show her true personality! Lucy has warmed up to our staff and now loves snuggles and being around her favourite people

“She likes to rearrange her room and play with her favourite squeaky toys during the day. She cannot get enough of pets and will nudge you to continue scratching her

“Lucy loves running around in her yard and would love to find a home with a backyard for her to play fetch in”

She is, however, nervous with quick and sudden movements and would do best in a calm and quiet home.

“She gained confidence after having play dates with other dogs in our care and would do well in a home with a patient canine friend, as she loves to play rough,” added shelter staff

“Lucy does have a prey drive and would not do well in a home with other small animals We are unsure how she will do in a home with cats. Lucy will need to meet any interested families multiple times to gain her trust before taking her home”

If you think your home would be a good fit for Lucy, here are some ways to find out:

1) Visit the shelter to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Tuesday noon to 3 p m , learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or

2) Submit an online application at adopt spca bc ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit. Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions, an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hours

Can you guess the year and shopping mall?

ALAN CAMPBELL acampbell@richmond-news com

Did you guess correctly?

If you did, you would have remembered that Eaton’s was one of the anchor stores at Lansdowne Centre back in the day

The photo was taken in 1989, according to the City of Richmond archives. The spot at the shopping centre, on the southeast corner, was later taken over by the once popular but ill-fated Zellers

Evan Dunfee sets new Canadian record at World Championships

Richmond’s Olympian racewalker Evan Dunfee set a new Canadian record at the 2023 World Athletics Championships this weekend

Golf star, 15, wins double national title

ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news com

Richmond’s Alex Zhang won’t just be finding space on the fireplace for birthday cards today, the now 15-year-old will also be making room for two large and significant trophies

GolfstarAlextappedinashortbogey-putt on the 18th hole at North Bay Golf and Country Club in North Bay, Ont on Thursday to shoot a final round of 74 and claim not one

but two national titles

Alex, a member at Marine Drive Golf Club in Vancouver, won the 2023 Canadian Junior Boys Championship, including the Silver Cup (Junior Championship) and the Jack Bailey Trophy (Juvenile Championship)

Zhang took a one-shot lead into the final round and that’s how it would end as he becomes the 11th player in tournament history to win both trophies.

Dunfee finished fourth in the men’s 20-kilometre racewalk, which was the opening event that kicked off the World Athletics in Budapest, Hungary, on Aug. 19.

The 32-year-old finished with a time of one hour, 18 minutes and three seconds, just 13 seconds short of third place This race also placed Dunfee as a Paris Olympic qualifier for the 2024 Games

Prior to competing in the World Athletics on Friday, Dunfee was altitude training in Switzerland for about six weeks.

Dunfee told the Richmond News the training put him back into a competitive and motivated state for his 20 and 35-kilometre races.

“Thatkindoflitthefireunderme to have training partners again and to be able to have someone else there with me, out every day when I’m training,” he said

“I feel like my head is in a really good place and I’m really motivated for the Worlds compared to last year where I was feeling a little bit mentally burnt out after the Olympics.”

And while winning a medal and being on the podium would be ideal, Dunfee was mainly looking forward to a good race amongst

top athletes.

Evan Dunfee placed fourth in the 20-kilometre racewalk event at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest.

“I’m not going into the Worlds expecting to win the medal, but if I can have a really good race and put myself in there with a chance that’s kind of the big goal”

When asked what he hopes to achieve at Worlds this year, Dunfee is aiming for top eight, if not top 15 in his events

“I always show up to compete when it counts the most and it’s something I pride myself in so ideally top eight fighting for one of those spots on the podium.”
