Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

Of course growing tomatoes, cucumbers and the like is a legitimate use of agricultural land. After all, the Agricultural Land Reserve was created to do just that. Right? Hmm, well kinda. The fact is tomatoes et al tend to be grown in greenhouses and those greenhouses are built by covering acres of prime agricultural land with slabs of concrete, which are then enclosed and outﬁtted with elaborate lighting, heating and watering systems.

In fact, they’re more warehouse than they are farm. Regardless, they’ve been allowed, which, I guess, can be justiﬁed because at least they’re producing food. But how do we feel about covering acres of prime agricultural land with slabs of concrete to grow marijuana? City council is not exactly high on the idea and is making a pitch to ensure marijuana greenhouses are only allowed in areas zoned industrial.

That makes sense for a few reasons: One, a greenhouse is a greenhouse, not a farm. Two, the city can charge industrial zone taxes, which are higher than agricultural. And, three, these greenhouses are not producing food. The problem is precedence. We’ve already allowed greenhouses on ALR land. In other words, the land has long-been paved, so does it really matter what’s being grown? Some have argued we can get around this by growing cannabis outdoors, that way our fertile land is being used to grow a high yielding crop that’s not mega mansions or warehouses.

But outdoor pot, apparently, is of a poorer quality and, ironically, leaves, in some cases, a greater carbon footprint. A greenhouse, where plants can be stacked, requires vastly less space than an outdoor crop and is better able to recycle water, nutrients and solar power. And then there’s the issue of theft.

If we have people stealing pumpkins out of farmers’ ﬁelds, I can only image what acres of pot plants could attract. So, if cannabis is best grown in greenhouses, the question is where to put those greenhouses and how to regulate them. On regulation: this is a new industry, hence, we should expect new, higher-than-ever environmental standards. Gone are the days when growers had to operate bunker-style, clandestine facilities, which consumed huge amounts of electricity. Now we’ve brought this industry into the light, let’s use that light — solar power speaking.

On where to put them: Industrial land makes sense. The tricky part will be not getting fooled, again. What’s to stop a producer from applying to build a greenhouse to grow food, then, once everything’s built, claim it’s not feasible and pressure the city to change its zoning. Sound familiar? In fact, this already appears to be happening (see page 19). Point being, council has a valid argument for keeping cannabis production in industrial zones. But to make that happen, it will have to push uphill on a slippery slope, given it has already allowed, greenhouses, ice wine and golf courses.

LETTERS Tribalism robbing our cultural bank The Editor, Re: “Lessons on playing nice,” Editor’s column, Jan. 11. I have written many times over the years about how the main challenge to creating a truly enlightened, integrated multi-cultural society is humankind’s innate predisposition for tribalism: a deep-seated need to be part of a distinct collective or culture that separates itself from all others.

River Rock Show Theatre presents

In a general sense, we are all beneficiaries of the most positive aspects of our diversity of cultures, but at the same time, we remain prisoners of the most negative and counter-productive aspects inherent to an insistent emphasis on our differences.

BRENT BUTT

The history of our species is unfortunately rife with evidence of the consequences of this unwillingness to transcend our tribalistic tendencies and it is something we should be very much ashamed of.

pears that this community still has a long way to go before we can realize the degree of tolerance, trust, sharing of basic values, and willingness to work together towards a common goal that would allow for the creation of a truly effective and admirable inter-cultural ( I prefer that term to multi-cultural ) community. One does not lose one’s cultural identity by learning how to get along and work with other cultures — that can only happen if one’s culture is either weak to begin with, no longer has justification for believing that its values and guiding principles are viable in the greater context of our global society, and/or is consumed with the type of entrenched fear of the unknown or “the other” that will eventually lead to its unravelling. As my grandfather used to say over and over again: “Trust is our most valuable commodity — without it, we are very poor.” Obviously we still have a lot of poverty here in Richmond.

Bleak House? Seniors, take note CBC News reported last week that it had obtained a memo directed to Mr. Morneau, our Federal Finance Minister, about the Canadian economy. The apparently “bleak October 4th note” says, in part, as follows: “This very rapid pace of growth (in the Canadian economy) is not sustainable going forward as … transitory factors start to wane and interest rates will likely continue rising.” It seems to me that this might be good news for seniors, particularly if their investments are in fixed income securities. It’s been well over a decade that we have been living in a low interest-rate environment, where seniors’ incomes have dropped. If interest rates do start rising, some seniors’ incomes should rise as well. Seniors should see their financial advisors about this.

LETTERS

Why don’t we have a laneway election? neighborhood in Richmond.

Dear Editor, The City of Richmond’s public consultation process on building lanes in Steveston is deeply flawed. Rather than asking residents to vote on what kind of lane they want, the city should ask the community whether it wants lanes at all. The city created this lane problem in the first place. It had an opportunity to develop lanes throughout Steveston when the area was first subdivided, but neglected to do so. Instead, in most places, it built streets only, which meant developers had to build houses with street-facing parking. You can see this throughout Steveston. People do not have front yards because they have been paved over for off-street parking (which no doubt was a city requirement). Now, the city wants to build lanes behind those people’s houses, for no apparent purpose. The distance between streets in Steveston is already tighter than in any other

The community has functioned just ﬁne without lanes for 100 years. Why build them now? It’s too late. People cannot just turn their garages around to use a new back lane, and any realtor will tell you that construction of a lane — where none was present before and which cannot be used for parking — will reduce property values. If city council is hellbent on building lanes, it should have the courage to run on the issue in the next election. It could easily wait until October. In public meetings in the run-up to the election, city council can explain to Richmond voters why it thinks lanes should be built in Steveston, and why money should be spent on that instead of more pressing matters, like social housing, school lunch programs, pedestrian safety on arterial roads, bylaw enforcement, etc.

Otters been around block Dear Editor, Re: “River otters found in city digs,” News, Jan. 11. I hate to burst Hugh Griffith’s bubble, but he was definitely NOT among the first to discover river otters in Garden City Park. Otters have been coming and going into the pond for at least a couple of years now. They hang out for a while, eat a bunch of fish, and probably leave once they’ve depleted the supply.

I’ve seen as many as ﬁve at one time, including a baby. They were around a lot during the holidays, but I haven’t personally seen them since the beginning of January. I would imagine that they use the culverts to get around. At least, I’ve never seen them walking down the street...

YOUR VOICE Do you support a ban on foreign home ownership?

Kathy Seymour

Suresh Kurl

GOING SHOPPING!

It’s yes and no. Everybody should have a right to homeownership, but there are so many ghost houses in this area, and so much not-playing-by-the-rules. It’s a hard question, and I don’t think there is ever gonna be a right or wrong answer. It’s going hurt somebody somewhere.

I think it’s OK. Foreign buyers are already paying an extra 15 per cent property tax. It kind of stops them from buying here. I think 15 per cent is pretty fair. It is a bit difﬁcult for young people to buy a home because the price is really high, but it’s also getting to be the same in many other places.

It will have an impact on the housing market short-term, but for long term, I think it’s a healthy policy. It will protect the market, make it healthier and more sustainable. If foreign buyers are too active, house prices can rise fast short-term, but it actually creates a bubble. It’s not a healthy market.

The two suspects were arrested and on Jan. 6, two counts each of fraud over $5,000 were laid against 52-year-old Dejin Xu and 49-year-old Zhong Yang.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Mounties have arrested and charged two males after a fake Chinese gold scheme resurfaced once again. On Dec. 21 last year, police were contacted by the most recent victim, who alleged he purchased supposed “priceless” gold Chinese artefacts from two males before discovering the gold was fake. The Richmond RCMP Economic Crime Unit (ECU) was engaged to investigate and quickly linked it to a second reported incident in Surrey. By linking these incidents, along with assistance from outside agencies, Richmond RCMP ECU was ultimately able to identify the two suspects associated to both alleged frauds. “This particular investigation was extremely dynamic and the Richmond RCMP would like to thank the investigators at Canada Border Services Agency and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Ofﬁce,” said ECU supervisor Cpl. Marco Sallinen.

Both are Chinese nationals and currently remain in custody. “This is the second time Richmond RCMP has arrested individuals associated to this type of crime but it’s a crime that knows no boundaries with arrests reportedly having taken place in Japan, Singapore and the United States,” said Richmond RCMP’s Acting Cpl. Adriana Peralta. This scheme ﬁrst surfaced in Richmond in 2010 and again in 2015. In 2015, Richmond RCMP arrested and charged a Chinese national, Bao Sheng Zhong, for a similar scheme. Zhong was ultimately convicted of fraud and deported back to China. In a case like this, police recommend: Having all the gold pieces individually tested by an independent testing facility; Having legal counsel involved to protect the buyer and seller.

Laneway options steered by city ing considered by City and that there is no interest from City staff to discuss anything other than what was posted on the boards in front of us,” said Back in a letter to council dated Jan. 12 and forwarded to the News.

Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

Steveston home owners, faced with having their extended backyards reclaimed by the City of Richmond for a laneway, say they’re disappointed with the options planners presented to them in a recent public consultation meeting.

Following planned sewer repairs, the city intends to re-establish laneways along several routes in the neighbourhoods immediately north of Steveston Village. Presently, most homes have backyards that overshoot their property line and encroach on city property (land designated as “roadway”).

Resident Chris Back said many Richmond and Broadway street residents were “extremely disappointed by the continued lack of respect” shown by city council and city staff, who presented four options to residents at a Jan. 10 meeting at Steveston Community Centre: paved lane; green swale lane; country lane; or bikeway.

Back said residents are cognizant of the need to maintain the sewers, however they do not want vehicular trafﬁc in new lanes and want to maintain “functional green space.” He said when residents met with council, Mayor Malcolm Brodie’s “behaviour was embarrassing for any Richmond

resident” with his “dismissive antics.” But Brodie told the Richmond News that residents are free to express their own options to city staff. Back said residents are still miffed as to why the city needs to build laneways. Brodie said he cannot disclose the reason due to legal reasons. He and others have also presented council with their own options. One option sees no laneways being built but residents establishing an easy-to-access backyard corridor along the city property, with no permanent structures or large trees planted in the way. Semi-private gardens could then be established. As well, residents want the option to lease or purchase the land from the city. Back said there is precedent for this in other municipalities.

Local politicians have differing views on what to do with the political donations they’ve received directly, or indirectly, from fraudster Paul Oei. According to the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC), Oei bilked investors of just over $5 million, while ingratiating himself in Richmond’s inner political circles, as well as keeping in close contact with former Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His victims told a BCSC panel how Oei used some investment money for political means. The B.C. Liberal Party now claims it is in the process of reviewing Oei’s $55,787 of contributions and is commit-

who was “generous.”

This month, Yap deferred questions to the party. “We are now in the process of reviewing those contributions, and will stand by our previous commitment,” said David Wasyluk, B.C. Liberal senior communications manager. Notably, no law binds a politician to return such donations. Oei’s next biggest beneﬁciary was the Liberal Party of Canada, which received close to $4,000. StevestonRichmond East Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido (whose law ﬁrm represents Oei and is being sued by some of Oei’s investors, claiming Peschisolido and Company failed to act in their best interest while handling Oei’s personal and corporate trust accounts) did not respond to the News, which then asked the party if the funds would be returned in some manner. “As we’ve noted before,

publicly available information with Elections Canada and Elections BC indicates that Mr. Oei has donated to multiple provincial and federal political parties (including the Conservative Party), and he has no position with the Liberal Party of Canada,” was the emailed response of spokesperson Elyse SuretteDiMuzio.

McNulty also invited the News to take a photo of the future cheque presentation. Meanwhile, Mayor Malcolm Brodie has said the amount given to him is so small that he has no intention to return the funds in any manner.

Oei donated $500 to the Conservative Party of Canada, which did not respond to the News.

“The short answer is no,” said Brodie.

He explained that the $1,250 donated to his campaign by Oei’s wife, Loretta Lai, was used to purchase a table at his 2014 annual fundraiser dinner.

Meanwhile, a trio of city councillors may choose to donate their money to local charity. Richmond First (Couns. Bill McNulty, Linda McPhail and Derek Dang) took $3,000 from Oei, in September 2014. Oei is pictured at a past B.C. Liberal fundraiser with Coun. Bill McNulty and other candidates.

“In the end, it’s a small donation,” said Brodie, surmising the table of 10 netted his campaign about $500 or less, after costs. Brodie also noted he cannot be expected to know everyone who comes to his big dinners.

Sign sparks outcry Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

The issue of Chinese-only signage in Richmond has resurfaced and this time, it’s an ad on the side of a bus traveling along Steveston Highway that has rufﬂed feathers. Community activist Kerry Starchuk posted a photo to Twitter on Jan. 14, drawing attention to an ad for a Richmond-based ﬁnancial company. “This is absolutely disgraceful,” Starchuk’s tweet read. “B.C. needs a language law to put an end to this nonsense. I can’t do it alone. I need a team of professionals to help.” Many responses to Starchuk’s post echoed her sentiments. “This bus is an example of exclusion not inclusion and people wonder what’s wrong with it,” wrote Twitter user Sirius.

Others, however, seemed less concerned with the lack of English. “If you can’t read it, it’s not meant for you,” said Twitter user DeeAm. “If it bothers you that much, go learn the language.” In response, TransLink said it isn’t mandated to include English on their ads. “There is no legislation requiring the prov-

If people want to advertise, as long as it meets our advertising guidelines, we accept it.” TransLink’s advertising guidelines mention a 2009 Supreme Court of Canada ruling, which states that “if TransLink chooses to accept advertising on the transit system, it must not limit a potential advertiser’s freedom of expression.” TenKK, the company responsible for placing the Chinese-only ad, told the Richmond News that, while they realized there might be sensitivity to an English-free ad, they did not feel there was enough space to make the ad bilingual. “We didn’t know people were talking about this on social media until we received some phone calls asking us to explain the ad in English from a couple of random people,” said Stacey Zhang from TenKK. “We have both Chinese and western clients, so it’s not our intention to put the ad only in Chinese, however, the space is limited, that’s why we put this ad on ﬁrst.” Zhang said TenKK is working on an English or bilingual version of the ad.

Parent: Schools not 47 businesses back ready for quake hospital tower push

According to Reid, some parent advisory councils have opted to fundraise for emergency supplies such as water, first aid, shelter, food and hygiene items for their schools, while others have not. As a result, not all schools are equally prepared. “Every single child in Richmond should have the same fundamental supplies,” she told Richmond News, adding that the responsibility belongs to the school board. “PACs shouldn’t be fundraising for supplies.” Reid also said some schools don’t have a designated place for all of their supplies. Due to a lack of space, items can sometimes be spread throughout the school which could make it difficult to access them during an emergency. Another of Reid’s concerns was how parents will be reunited with their children following an emergency. “Are we prepared for reunification? That’s the biggest scare – not knowing where your child is,” she said. “Richmond should be the most prepared city in the Lower Mainland,” she added. Reid said the school board acknowledged

“This wasn’t the ﬁrst notice we’ve had on this,” he said. “Every parent wants their children to be safe.” The biggest obstacle, Yung said, is that the province has published emergency preparedness guidelines, but hasn’t provided school boards with the funding needed to implemented these requirements. “The province can’t just ask us to do something that costs us money, then expect us to come up with additional funding for it,” he said. “We’re not quibbling about what would be a base level of preparedness because the government has already established that.” Yung also noted that while providing items like emergency backpacks for each child might put parents at ease, this would be a signiﬁcant expense that would “do nothing for emergency preparedness for staff.”

Forty-seven Richmond businesses, employing almost 8,000 people, have so far put their names behind the Richmond Chamber of Commerce’s push to pressure the B.C. government into building the long-awaited, new hospital tower. The chamber last week called on its members and local employers to join them in their campaign to urge the NDP government to include a new Richmond Hospital tower in its 2018 budget, which is scheduled for February. In the lead up to the provincial election last May, NDP leader and now Premier, John Horgan, stated that “a BC NDP government would commit to building the new acute care tower and we will build it on the fastest possible timeline.” One of the early supporters of the chamber campaign was Dr. Zak El-Ramly, president and CEO of ZE PowerGroup Inc. which employs 250 people in Richmond. “Our expanding and diverse local work-

“When we create a policy, we have to take into account everybody that’s in the school,” he said. “We’re responsible for everybody.”

Pursuant to Section 26 of the Community Charter, the City of Richmond (“City”) hereby gives notice that the City intends to grant a Statutory Right of Way (“SRW”) for utility purposes to British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority over a ±353.6 sq. m. portion of City owned property at 5951 River Road, legally described as PID: 011-077-204, Lot 1 Section 1 Block 4 North Range 7 West New Westminster District Plan 4523 for a perpetual term and a nominal fee of $10.00.

The chamber also highlighted the seismic shortcomings of the original tower, which was built in the 1950s and currently meets only 17 per cent of the seismic code. In a moderate earthquake of 5.0 to 5.9 on the Richter scale, all eight operating rooms and over half the beds are at severe risk. The previous B.C. Liberal government was, for several years, also aware of the urgent need for a new hospital tower, but only got as far as the concept plan stage. The next stage — a business plan— could take up to 18 months. The Richmond Hospital Foundation is willing to contribute $40-50 million of the projected $283 million project cost.

Reid’s report will now be taken to staff for consideration. She said she hopes the school board conducts an inventory of what schools currently have, then allocates funds to ensure everyone has equal access to supplies, especially if it’s for a school in need of seismic upgrades.

Man on trial for murdering mom-in-law, son Keith Fraser VANCOUVER SUN

A Richmond man accused of murdering his mother-in-law and teenage son after the two family members died in a fire was, at the time, angry and jealous following a breakup with his wife, says the Crown. On Monday, Surjit Dosanjh pleaded not guilty to the April 2015 second-degree murder of Elaine Leznoff, 66, and the seconddegree murder of Kalvin Leznoff-Dosanjh, 13. In her opening statement Monday, Crown counsel Andrea Spence said that before the fire, Dosanjh and his wife, Liane Leznoff, had an at-times rocky relationship over the course of 15 years. By the end of March 2015, Leznoff was unhappy enough that she wanted to end the relationship and told the father of three that she wanted a separation, telling him to move out of the family home, said Spence. The prosecutor said the breakup was a significant event and Liane Leznoff will testify about how the accused, who was 37 at the time of his arrest, reacted to leaving the duplex on Cornerbrook Crescent. “She will testify that after he moved out, he called her continuously and made threats to harm her and any new boyfriend,” Spence told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Voith. Spence said the Crown would also be calling evidence from neighbours, police and acquaintances of the couple about how badly Dosanjh took the breakup as well as his animus towards his wife and his mother-in-law. “The Crown plans to lead evidence from these witnesses that includes that the accused expressed feelings of anger and jealousy towards Liane, that the accused was trying to find out through her friends if she had another boyfriend.” Dosanjh talked about his need to take custody of the kids and was stressed out about where he was going to live, said Spence. Evidence will also show that police arrested Dosanjh on April 2, 2015 under the Mental Health Act and that during the first week of April 2015, Liane Leznoff was in contact with the provincial ministry of children and family development, she said. On the night before the fire, an RCMP officer helped Liane Leznoff move to a safe house with her two-year-old son, said the prosecutor. The couple’s oldest son, Gavin, was spending time with a friend on the night of the fire. The trial was set to continue this week and is scheduled to run for six weeks.

Richmond sending organics to Ladner Daisy Xiong

Enviro-Smart. It will now deliver organics from single-family homes to the facility, as well.

RICHMOND NEWS

“We will no longer be sending our organics to Harvest Power, but we want to point out that we are still concerned about the odours that come from the facility,” said Townsend.

The City of Richmond will begin delivering all of its organics to the Enviro Smart processing facility in Delta on Feb. 1. This means that, as of next month, Richmond will no longer be delivering any organics to Harvest Power, the composting facility in east Richmond that generated more than 1,000 complaints last year regarding its odour. “We received a number of bids; through evaluations, we determined that Enviro-Smart provides the best value for the city in terms of ﬁnancial and other considerations,” said Ted Townsend, spokesperson for the City of Richmond. The move will allow the city to continue to grow its organics program and achieve its goal of diverting 80 per cent of the residential waste stream from the landﬁll by 2020, he added. About 10 per cent of all organic material processed by Harvest Power comes from the City of Richmond. Since early 2017, the city has been delivering organics from multi-family homes to

“We will continue to work with the company and Metro Vancouver to ensure that the issue gets addressed…We want the odours to stop.” Harvest Power, meanwhile, said it is disappointed with the city’s decision. “Obviously, we are disappointed. They’ve been a valued customer of ours for a number of years and we will certainly miss the business,” said Stephen Bruyneel, spokesperson for Harvest Power. “But, at the same time, we are continuing our focus on efforts to reduce odour concerns, and we will continue to be there for other customers and clients to meet their organics composting goals.” Metro Vancouver has issued stricter rules regarding odours emanating from Harvest Power, starting Jan. 1 this year. It has also recently ordered Harvest Power to replace one of its two on-site aerated static piles by Feb. 1, 2018.

Hands-on students proud of art McKinney elementary kids create visions of beauty from nature Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Students at McKinney elementary are finding out, at an early age, what it feels like to create art and to have it appreciated by your peers. Thanks to the work of their Kindergarten/Grade 1 teacher, Karen Leung — who secured $2,000 of Artstarts funding — her students had the benefit of a month-long artist-in-residence, Phyllis Schwartz, a renowned local ceramicist and photographer. Schwartz spent November working with the young students in a series of clay workshops, before creating personal, ceramic pieces that reflected their observations derived from a tour of a local nature park.

McKinney elementary’s Kindergarten and Grade 1 class was treated to a month-long artist-in-residence. Phyllis Schwartz (above, right) a renowned local ceramicist and photographer, helped the kids design and create clay bowls and ornaments. Photos submitted

“She worked for weeks with the kids; she was really hands-on and I was able to fit it into the curriculum,” Leung told the Richmond News. “It was a real, place-based experience. Their observation tour…was their inspiration for the bowls and ornaments they made out of clay. “The kids were able to express that connection they had made between nature and what they had learned from the artist.” Leung received a $2,000 grant from Artstart, through the BC Arts Council, as long as she procured 30 per cent of it from other sources, which she managed through the Richmond Association for Montessori and from the school’s PAC. “Working with something tactile, like clay, gave them a lot of satisfaction and pride,” added Leung. “They had a celebration of their work in front of the whole school. They were very proud of themselves.”

Marijuana ﬁrms eye Richmond farms

Farms for food, not speculation B.C. Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver once again introduced a bill Friday that would ban foreign ownership on Agricultural Land Reserve land over ﬁve acres. “B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve is vital for promoting our province’s food security and growing our agricultural sector,” said Weaver in a party news release.

Graeme Wood

As it stands, a new warehouse being built on farmland on No. 9 Road is for vegetables. But it could convert to marijuana production.

RICHMOND NEWS

Coun. Linda McPhail says it’s news to her to hear that a prominent medical marijuana ﬁrm is making a play in Richmond to build a 500,000-square-foot cultivation space by the end of the year. Furthermore, the chair of city council’s planning committee said the stated intentions of Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. underscores Richmond city council’s desire to control land use and zoning regulations on protected farmland with respect to both medical and recreational marijuana production. At issue for McPhail is not just the size of the buildings being constructed on farmland, but also matters of security. Council has already tentatively approved a medical marijuana facility on No. 6 Road and its stated policy is to only allow one such facility in Richmond. Council also wants to keep production facilities off farmland and on industrial sites. “It is imperative that the City has the authority to implement operating standards (such as ventilation, noise, etc.) and compliance with locational criteria through land-use, zoning and business licencing bylaws,” stated a recent letter from the city to senior governments. McPhail said council is looking to apply the same medical marijuana facility policy to recreational marijuana facilities. According to a Nov. 28 statement from Emerald, a licensed producer, an application “for its new Richmond, B.C. greenhouse facility under Access to Cannabis for Medical Purpose Regulations has met the requirements of the paper-based review of Health Canada’s Ofﬁce of Medical Cannabis.” According to a source working in the medical marijuana industry, Emerald’s ownership group also owns a property at 6980 No. 9 Road. This property was issued a building permit in July for a “warehouse,” which the City of Richmond was informed is for vegetables. Now, an expansive concrete facility is under construction at the location.

Emerald did not respond to Richmond News inquiries. Its November news release claims there are plans to have “over 500,000 square feet of cultivation space built at this site by year end.” By comparison, the facility on No. 6 Road, is only about 5,400 square feet. Meanwhile, another company has applied to the city to convert and expand a horse stable on Garden City Road to medical marijuana production. Coun. Harold Steves is one of the more vocal opponents of marijuana production on farmland and believes Emerald likely has the same intentions on No. 9 Road. “The big problem is destroying the land with large concrete structures. Those operations can go in an industrial area. I’m not opposed to legalizing marijuana; I’m opposed to industrialization of farmland,” said Steves. McPhail said if the landowner intends to switch from vegetables to marijuana, it should have to go through council. But Steves and McPhail said the provincial laws are unclear at the moment. Steves said he doesn’t object to marijuana being grown on land granted the soil would not be destroyed. But once you build a concrete warehouse, or greenhouse, it’s game over, said Steves, who also opposes vegetable greenhouses on soil. As well, he suspects the owner of the No. 9 Road property may be making a long-term pitch to convert the land from agricultural class-1 status to more valuable industrial status. This would ﬁt Steves’ theory that landowners in the area intend to create a large industrial zone alongside Port of Vancouver lands. “Basically, it’s the ﬁrst step to industrializing of that area of farms,” said Steves. “Put a warehouse there. Cover the land in buildings and you’re on your way to industrial,” he said.

“B.C. currently imports 70 per cent of its vegetables from the United States, with half of that coming from California,” he said. The (ALR) is not With these regions increasingly experiencing extreme a land bank for weather events such as droughts and floods, it is industry or housmore important than ever ing development that B.C. take the future of our food security seriously. Moreover, agriculture pres- ANDREW WEAVER ents a significant economic opportunity for B.C. Our thriving wine industry alone has a $2.8 billion economic impact, generating 12,000 jobs throughout the province.” One of the key reasons why young people are unable to pursue farming is due to the cost of land, he added, blaming real estate speculation. Weaver also said Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec and PEI have all passed similar legislation to protect their agricultural land. Weaver first introduced such a bill for B.C. in February 2016. In a recent interview with the Delta Optimist, B.C. Agriculture Minister Lana Popham said an erosion of the ALR over the last 16 years has led to the implied idea by speculators the reserve is a land bank for other purposes. “As I was saying publicly since I became minister, I expect the Agricultural Land Commission to uphold the mandate to protect agricultural land and encourage farming, and that the Agricultural Land Reserve is not a land bank for industry or housing development. It is a land bank for food production.” Delta South MLA Ian Paton, the Liberals’ co-agricultural critic, said if there’s a problem, a foreign buyers tax could be considered, but, as far as he knows, most farms in Delta are either owned and actively farmed by local farmers.

SERVING RICHMOND SINCE 1991

Former resident Glen Billwiller posted this photo online of his aunt working at No. 3 Road A&W, circa 1968. The photo shows her bringing two trays of food and jugs of soda to a car. She’s outﬁtted with a coin dispensing belt.

Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

While a new A&W drivethru restaurant is being contemplated by the Petro Canada gas station owners at the corner of No. 5 Road and Steveston Highway, it’s the old drive-in A&W at the north end of No. 3 Road that has sparked many memories recently on Facebook page “You grew up in Richmond, BC if you remember…”

Alan Walrond, a McNair secondary graduate, circa 1981, told the Richmond News the A&W used to be the place to go for teenage boys and young adults with hot rods. He also recalled trips to the nearby King Wah Chinese buffet. “It was the turn-around spot when cruising No. 3 Road. The McDonalds at No. 3 Road and Granville was the south turn around spot,” said Walrond. Many people commented that the animal burger (apparently it held 10 patties,

as the stories go) was a formidable challenge back in the day. And ﬁve cents for a root beer was a great deal. Former resident Glen Billwiller posted a photo of his aunt working at A&W. Walrond noted that the last drive-in restaurant in Richmond was the White Spot, once situated on Granville Avenue, nearby to where the Value Village is presently located (near the corner of Buswell Street). The new A&W drive-thru is in the development stage.

91-year-old Nan still singin’ away “We were bombarded by the change of scenery… All we saw were trees, and then you hit the prairies, which was so expansive you couldn’t take in. Then you hit the Rockies and it was so majestic…” Baardsen recalled.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Nan Baardsen doesn’t go unnoticed. She dresses well, laughs loud and spins a great yarn — when she has the time, at least. Baardsen is a busy woman. The little suitcase she has in tow is proof positive. It’s ﬁlled with sheet music, concert programs and rehearsal schedules. Baardsen is the director of the Minoru Senior’s Centre choir, a 40 member-strong group that performs at care homes and seniors’ residences throughout the year. Did we mention Baardsen is 91? “I don’t have a halo above my head. Don’t even try to look for it,” Baardsen chuckled to the Richmond News. “I feel very fortunate I’m still around, as healthy as I am, and can do something helpful with music...it’s what I’ve always been good at.” Music has followed Baardsen throughout her life. Growing up in her Muirhead family that loved music, she remembers the days when families would sit next to the piano and sing. “That was such a life we had when we were younger,” Baardsen recalls of her childhood in Scotland. At age 16, she began a 27-year career with the British civil service, though work never quietened her passion for song.

Nan Baarsden started singing in a pub in West Vancouver minutes after arriving on the west coast. Daisy Xiong photo Baardsen ﬁrst joined a local operatic society in Glasgow, Scotland and then became a soloist with a local operatic society in England after moving there in her 30s. “We did many big musicals at that time. That was the height of my music career; my ‘glory’ days singing in Britain,” said Baardsen. In 1969, at the age of 43, she moved to Eastern Canada, where her brother was residing; together they relocated to Vancouver after a cross-Canada road trip.

On her very ﬁrst day in Vancouver, Baardsen was offered a job, as a singing waitress in a hotel pub in West Vancouver.

“My brother parked the trailer in a parking space under the Lions Gate Bridge. It was bucketing with rain outside… we decided to go to a pub nearby for beer,” recalled Baardsen.

Her brother called out her name when the pianist invited the audience to sing on the stage. “I was so embarrassed, because I looked terrible. We had on big wellington boots, big heavy sweaters, terrible hair, while everyone else there was dressed well,” she said. “Anyway, I sang some Italian ballad to them.

After I sat down, the owner of the hotel came to me and offered me a job.” Baardsen turned down the offer, choosing instead to work as an insurance agent, a career that lasted until her retirement. Still, she carried on singing in local choirs before she moved to Richmond in 2003 and joined the Minoru Senior’s Glee Club, and became the club’s director in 2011. “When I took it over, it was almost like a singalong, rather than a performing choir,” said Baardsen. “I’ve always been a performer, and my ideas are very different. I make sure everybody stands up at one time, and when we are singing a happy song, they have to look happy.” The club now performs 400 songs and adds 20 new songs every season. “I get a lot of enjoyment from doing this. Every day when I wake up, I think about all the things I need to do today… Age for me is just a number,” she said. Baardsen attributes a healthy and happy life to a positive take on life -- and her sense of humour. “I see humour in everything. Even with the most serious things, I can suddenly want to giggle at something,” said Baardsen. “If you handle things with humour, you get much better reactions than bulling and yelling. I’d rather pass fun than pass a cutting one. “I’m so glad to wake up every day and ﬁnd I’m still alive and kicking,” she said.

Richmond’s Lipont Art Centre is displaying a retrospective exhibition of Joseph Synn Kune Loh, a local artist who has dedicated almost half a century to painting. The exhibit, Unlocking the Code, showcases almost 100 of Loh’s works of art, ranging from abstract landscape paintings created in the 1970s to recent surrealism-style pieces.

The 71-year-old grew up in Hong Kong and moved to Ontario to study psychology at Queen’s University in the 1970s, but his life path changed after a visit to Paris.

“The experience of creating art is very precious for me because, in the process, I’m opened up to a higher consciousness,” said Loh, who has been doing other jobs but never quit painting.

Indigo & Hazel are BFF guinea pigs. Hazel is the more confident one and Indigo is her shy but just as sweet sidekick. Like all piggies, these two girls love running around their playpen, spending time snuggling together and chowing down on their daily veggies. The girls are looking for a home that has the time to socialize them and coax them out of their shells.

“I went to museums in Paris and saw an exhibit of Van Gogh. I thought, ‘I want to be an artist,’ (although) I didn’t know anything about art at that time,” recalled Loh. He quit university and went to study experimental art at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and his career in art began. He started by doing abstract landscape paintings, like many other Chinese artists. “I believe every young Chinese artist will do landscape at some point; It’s a representation of Chinese artists. So I did my mountain and water series, and they reﬂected who I was at that time in life,” said Loh. But while Chinese culture will always be integral to who he is, Loh said he prefers critical thinking to a traditional mindset, a preference reﬂected in his drawing. “In high school I wrote an article saying that Confucius was a loser. My teacher gave me an F and asked why I wrote such nonsense,” he chuckled. In one series, Loh drew a picture of Chinese characters using circles, triangles and squares to explore the fundamental form of the words before calligraphy brushes were invented. “Once brushes were created, people began to pay too much attention to calligraphy and the aesthetics of the characters, not the meaning of the words,” explained Loh. There are also many Buddhist elements in Loh’s work. They come from inspirations after a visit to Da Zu, a reli-

gious town in South East China, in 1985, he explained. “I had a spiritual experience there and suddenly I understood what Buddhism means,” said Loh. “I came out with an impression of how to draw Buddhist form and inserted it into my paintings.” His current favorite work is a series he painted two years ago: a series of three paintings in which the two side paintings have one subject each and are connected by the drawing in the middle through some ancient Chinese characters. Loh said the series is an exploration of the space between people and objects “where reality is seen.” “If you go to a restaurant, you sit down and listen to people talking, they’re not talking to each other, they’re just repeating the same thing about family, etc.,” said Loh. “What is really important is the space between them — the unspoken part. “If you see a boy at your age, you may think he is going to be my boyfriend, maybe you don’t like this man… Those are not spoken often times, but you can feel it. “In Daoism, it is said ‘All things in the world are produced by being, and being is produced by non-being.’ “The space between is the ‘non-being’ that produces everything else. This is what those paintings are about.” Loh hopes his work will make a difference in people’s lives by promoting them to think. “I hope whoever may have seen my work will leave with a question mark about what life is about, what’s the space in-between…” said Loh. “For me, art is not the answer, but a bridge.” The exhibition is open until Feb. 4 daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Lipont Art Centre at 4211 No 3 Rd. Admission is free.

The ABR-19

Apartment B-vent Replacement

Steveston Village Pharmasave’s Ideal Protein (IP) program is a blessing for those who want to eat well and build a healthier body. The program helps people lose weight and maintain a healthy weight and body fat percentage, by teaching them how to develop smarter eating habits and wiser lifestyles. “Weight loss has been shown to help a lot in terms of diabetes control, hypertension and high cholesterol, and the Ideal Protein program is a great solution to help achieve and maintain healthy weight loss,” said John Jeung, pharmacist at Steveston Village Pharmasave. “For those who do live with those conditions, Ideal Protein can help to reduce, or even eliminate, the requirement for medica-

tions,” he added. Participants achieve their goals by, in part, consuming Ideal Protein foods, a meal replacement that is high in protein and low in fat and sugar, with options for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks. (The protein in IP is a pure isolate that is more than 95 per cent absorbed from whole food sources while the average is 60 per cent.) “(IP foods) are like meals and snacks. We want to make sure that during the weight loss phases we maintain adequate protein intake so they don’t lose muscle mass while losing fat,” said Jeung. The program consists of four phases: weight loss, two pre-stabilization stages 27 and maintenance.

PROFILE In the ﬁrst “weight loss” phase, participants set a goal in advance and have three IP foods per day, plus vegetables from a given list and a dinner meal of their own choice, until they’ve met their goal. (A ﬁxed amount of whole protein will be required)

For example, they can start their day by having an IP Apple Flavoured Oatmeal for breakfast with an egg or two, IP Vegetable Chili Mix with vegetables and a salad for lunch, and an IP Ready-to-Serve Caramel Flavoured Pudding as a snack, then enjoy a dinner of their own choice with meat and vegetables. The expected weight loss is two to three pounds per week. “When a lot of people start this, they tend to feel quite full all the time, just because they’re actually getting a lot of protein in the diet that’s formulated for them,” said Jeung. “So, even though it may look like they’re not having a lot of food, because of the protein in there, they feel full throughout the day.” In the next “pre-stabilization” phase, participants can have a lunch and dinner meal of their choice, and two IP foods per day — this phase lasts for two weeks. In the two weeks after that, participants go through a “stabilization phase,” when they have one IP product per day and an Ideal Complete Meal — a complete meal replacement that includes more carbohydrates and fats. After all of that, participants will achieve

the last phase, the “maintenance phase,” which is also called Lifestyle Living.

This is a 12-month stabilization period when IP foods are not mandatory anymore, but participants will keep receiving ongoing support from pharmacists of the Steveston Village Pharmasave in terms of recipes and lifestyle. Pharmacists at the Steveston Village Pharmasave keep track of all the customers on a regular basis to make sure that they continue to make the right choices, including what they are choosing to eat and how they are eating. During the weight-loss and transition phases, clients meet one on one with a coach every week; during the last maintenance phase, they meet one on one once a month. “It makes a big difference because you know that there is someone to whom you have to be accountable,” said Jeung. Pharmacists at the Steveston Village Pharmasave have seen great responses from the customers and many of them have had a drastic decrease in medication use for conditions such as blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, according to Jeung. “Many people fail with other weight loss programs because they diet and lose their weight, then they regain their weight again, sometimes even more, because they revert back to their old eating habits,” he said. “But Ideal Protein takes it a step further by focusing on helping us to make sustainable changes in our eating habits.”

Winter can be such a bleak time for us gardeners, with our outdoor spaces devoid of any colour and working conditions soggy and muddy. This is a great time to focus your attention on garden spaces closer to your house, in view for visitors or from places that can be enjoyed from the comfort of indoors. Imagine reading a book in your favourite chair while enjoying some cheerful arrangements on your front porch! There are many plants that are hardy for our climate and will look good in containers for weeks on end. The beneﬁt of cooler weather is that blooms last longer, especially if protected from wind and rain.

Hellebores, the Christmas rose, is very popular right now, as the different varieties have blooming times between now and into January. With their unique colours and shapes of foliage and the varying shades of white, green, pink and maroon ﬂowers, hellebores can present well in a container on their own. You can also add other plants to complement your hellebores such as skimmia, the red berries of gaultheria, variegated ivy and nandina to brighten your darkest corners. A couple of other recipes for colourful containers are showcased in the photos. A pot containing bright shades of pink and white cyclamens teamed up with winter ﬂowering pink heather and the cool grey shades of dusty miller create a dazzling jewel effect in our otherwise dull environment.

Add purple-pink colours of ﬂowering cabbage, purple and yellow winter pansies, bright pink sprightly heather to surround the lime green colour of a dwarf conifer, which can be your centre piece in your container. Plant a couple of blue coloured dwarf conifers on each side. Plants grow very slowly in the winter so start with the size of plants you want for your pots and pack them in tightly. Avoid planting them too deep as they may succumb to rot. Water only if the soil becomes dry, especially if your pot is positioned close to a wall. There is no need to add fertilizer as the potting soil will contain enough nutrients. Position your pots so that they will receive maximum sunlight. Even shade-loving ferns and ivies will appreciate the extra energy.

Do you own any real estate in Canada? If so, it is crucial that you have a valid Will and Power of Attorney. Your spouse, children or designated family member may not be able to help you with the disposition of real estate without these. As life changes come along, your Will should be updated as well. Speak with an Attorney or Notary Public to decide what are the best options for you. If you own real estate outside of Canada, it is also wise to get legal advice. - Diane

Despite rides, volunteers and donations all being down, the Delta Gymnastics Society says this year’s Delta/Richmond Operation Red Nose campaign was still a success.

According to Ellyn Schriber, the society’s growth and development coordinator, rides were down 14 per cent, volunteers and teams were both down 20 per cent and donations declined by 25 per cent. There were 367 rides during the 16th annual campaign that ran for nine nights in late

November/December. The rides were completed by 309 volunteers with donations from the public just over $12,000. Last year there was 425 rides completed by 384 volunteers, which raised just over $16,000. “Surrey/Langley not running really hurt us, and the news report that circulated. We heard some people got an impression that Operation Red Nose was not running at all,” said Schriber. —Ian Jacques/Delta Optimist

18-year-old starts cosmetic business mation from,” recalled Robertson.

“I really reﬁned the product over the summer – it was what I spent my entire summer on.”

RICHMOND NEWS

Sydney Robertson, An 18-year-old Richmondite, proves that anyone can start a business if you want to, and, commit to it. The Hugh Boyd Secondary Alumni and current UBC Arts student has started her own cosmetic business, with nothing but her saved pocket money. Her All Heart Cosmetics website was launched Jan 6, which features an, “allnatural, vegan, cruelty-free and kosher,” clay mask. “The inspiration for starting a business comes from my dad, who started his business when he was young,” said Robertson to the Richmond News. “(My dad) always said to me, ‘be your own boss,’ so I took it from there.” Robertson started creating her own formula to make cosmetic products for family and friends twoyears ago, and turned this hobby into a business last summer. “I saw other people doing it and then I started doing research on the Internet. There are so many resources to get infor-

She wanted to create a product for her customers that are “compromise-free”. “People’s choices are often compromised by purchasing products with ﬁllers, preservatives, non-vegan or non-kosher ingredients, or from companies that don’t support its workers or [are] cruel to animals,” said Robertson. “I want to make sure that they are not really compromising anything by going with my products.” She also noticed that many natural cosmetics do not have a cool style. Robertson wants to combine the two “without having to compensate anything.” Having very limited funding, Robertson learned about sketching and web design to create a “cool look” for the packaging and website. She also hand-makes and handpacks all the products herself. “It’s been a really fun and a great learning process. There were times I nearly gave up, but I love it. It’s fun to be able to see something grow from next to nothing,” she said. Robertson hopes to see her business ex-

Sydney Robertson, an 18-year-old Richmondite, launched her homemade natural cosmetic business with her pocket money. Photo submitted pand, but her vision goes beyond that. Five per cent of her net proceeds will go towards feminine hygiene products for women in need. “I believe that everyone deserves to feel clean and confident. It’s so unfair that you have to pick between being clean and confident and having a meal, “said Robertson. “Even if at first I’m not able to raise a lot of funds for it, at least I can bring it to the attention to people.” For other young people who also dream of being an entrepreneur, Robertson said

her recommendation is to act now. “In our day and age, there are so many new opportunities that we never would have thought of before,” said Robertson. “It doesn’t matter what your age is; Don’t stop yourself because you are only 18, because you are just as capable at researching as someone who is 25. “At the end of the day, we say want to do. It doesn’t have to dardised. You just need to have mindset and ﬁnd something you sionate about.”

Innovative Mandarin program eyes Richmond market RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond resident Ammar Hussien is committed to learning Chinese. After practising an hour a day for 30 days, he can now carry on a basic conversation in a language that before was completely alien to him. “I can now recognise some Chinese characters on the street and order a bubble tea in the shop. It feels good. Most importantly, learning Chinese is a fun thing for me to do now,” said Hussien, a science tutor. He is one of the ﬁrst students of New Occidental Education & Technology Group (NOET), a speedy Mandarin-learning pro-

It claims to introduce the “fastest” way for Mandarin learners, who have no background in Chinese, to master the language in 200 hours, instead of the regular 2,000 hours needed at school. “We believe there is a big demand for Mandarin learning in the Vancouver area, especially in cities like Richmond, where Mandarin can be an asset in many professions,” said Patrick Yan, marketing manager of NOET. “Our program is designed for people or companies who hope to master the language in a very efﬁcient way.” The program, according to Yan, subverts

‘work’. We would tell our students, if you ask a sheep to work, the results will be bad. People ask cows to work but no one asks sheep to work,” said Yan.

“These things themselves don’t particularly make sense to Chinese second language speakers,” said Yan.

“The students found it very interesting and learned it very fast.”

“Chinese is not a phonetic language. The meaning of Chinese is all in the characters, not in the sounds. So learning characters directly will better help learners remember the words.” The program breaks down each character and comes up with a story for each of them to help students remember their meanings. “For example, the character for ‘bad’ is made up of the characters ‘sheep’ and

Hussien said he really enjoys this method and ﬁnds learning Chinese less intimidating. “For the character for ‘name,’ they split them into two parts, ‘mouth’ and ‘sunset.’ So the story is, after sunset, it’s dark, so we need to call for names using our mouths. That’s how I remember this is called ‘name.’” Hussien said he will continue practising Chinese using this method, and hopes this will give him more leverage when applying for jobs in the future.

After falling to Richmond Colts 88-78 in senior boys league play, Marco Wong and Steveston-London host tournament starting today.

Senior boys team now going through growing pains after dominant two-year run Sharks head coach Mike Stoneburgh. “You go up by 13 at the half and they think it’s over and it’s not. These are the lessons we have been learning all year. It’s starting to get frustrating. You can’t keep playing ﬁrst halves like that then just lay a dud.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

The Steveston-London Sharks teased their coach and supporters again on Monday night. The senior boys basketball team opened up a double-digit halftime lead on the Richmond Colts and was on its way to its biggest win of the season. However, it was all Colts in the second half as the visitors — led by Grade 12 standouts Daniel Afanasiyevskyy and Murad Mohammed — outscored the Sharks by 20 points in the third quarter and went on to post a 88-78 victory. The result improved the honourable mention 3A team to 5-1 in city league play while the Sharks slipped to 1-4. They are now in a dogfight for the final “AAA” spot in next month’s Richmond Championships with only the top four advancing. It’s a sharp contrast to when Steveston-London won back-to-back city titles and was a provincial powerhouse, highlighted by a runner-up finish in 2016. The rebuild is underway with players that have little experience at the senior level. “This is the story of a young team,” sighed

“We have to tighten it up, learn to play full games and we haven’t done that yet. We just keep giving team’s chances and life.” Quinn Whyte is the lone returnee who saw regular playing time a year ago. Fellow Grade 12 Johnny Fang was excellent Monday and is having a solid year. The Sharks have a key league game against Burnett on Wednesday then turn their attention to hosting the annual Bob Carkner Classic. After epic victories over Byrne Creek and Lord Byng the past two seasons, featuring top ranked 3A teams, this year’s field reflects their inexperience. They will take on Point Grey in their opener Thursday afternoon. The rest of the field features Windermere, Delta, Hugh Boyd, Langley, Valleyview and Byng. “These are mostly good mediocre 3A teams. There should be a lot of close battles,” added Stoneburgh.

At the buzzer.. - The girls’ side of the Carkner Classic features last year’s Crehan Cup Lower Mainland “AAA” finalists Argyle and McMath on different sides of the draw. The teams should meet in Saturday’s final at 5:30 p.m. The Sharks, South Delta, Killarney, Valleyview, John Oliver and McRoberts. The boys title game is at 7:15 p.m. - A fifth place finish was a buzzer-beater away from potentially being so much more for the McMath Wildcats at the 52nd annual Chancellor Tournament. The No. 2 ranked Wildcats saw their title hopes end with a gut-wrenching 57-56 loss to the No. 6 Argyle Pipers. The Steveston school looked as though it had pulled out a dramatic win when Victor Radocaj’s put back off a Bryce Mason miss produced a 56-54 lead with 1.5 seconds left. However, the Pipers called a timeout and then took advantage of a defensive lapse to drain an open three-pointer at the buzzer. McMath rebounded with wins over St. Thomas More and Vernon. Grade 12 guard Jordin Kojima was named a second team all-star. Mason was an honourable mention. McNair fell to Tupper in its opener then won a pair of games.

Golden trip to San Jose for Pee Wee Ravens The Richmond Ravens Peewee “A” team captured its division at the 15th annual MLK Girls/Women’s Ice Hockey Tournament in San Jose, California.

goals from Izabel Taylor and the game winner by Isabelle Chai paced the team to victory. The goaltending tandem of Rebecca Noble and Lauren Oliveros were solid throughout the tournament, and together with blueliners Gracie Bagnall-Dubras, Katie Bollo, Kristina Doray, Kaila Kusec, Kiyomi Tien and Caeli Yamanaka, contributed to very impressive 0.40 goals-against average and.947 save percentage.

The Ravens capped a memorable run with a 5-1 win over the Anaheim Lady Ducks in Monday’s championship game. The girls paid tribute to four-year-old Morgan “Mo” May by sporting pink hockey tape on their sticks for the tournament. The future Ravens player is battling leukemia and the entire Richmond Girls Ice Hockey organization has rallied behind her family which has been longtime supporters of the association. The Ravens were dominant in their preliminary round games, defeating the Los Angeles Lions, Anaheim Lady Ducks and Washington Wild by a cumulative score of 19-1. The semi-ﬁnal rematch against LA was their second game of the day and the team overcame tired legs to win 5-0.

In addition to the goal scorers, all of the other forwards played strong two-way games throughout the tournament. They included Jenelle Dee, Ella May Dunn, Allison Honda, Diana MacKenzie, Lexi Mendoza, Tiana Murgatroyd, and Jenna So. Richmond Pee Wee Ravens showed their support for Morgan May with pink tape in winning their division at a tournament in San Jose.

In the championship ﬁnal, a scoreless game was broken open when the Ravens

Edmonton edge hosts in West Coast Classic thriller B.C./Alberta match-up lived up to the hype at Richmond Ringette’s 23rd annual West Coast Classic. Sunday’s U19A championship game proved to the be a thriller as a large crowd watched the Edmonton Shock trim the hosts 2-1.

Richmond tied the game in the late going on a power play tally. However, the Shock answered soon after on a shorthanded effort then hung on to victory. The same two teams had battled to a 5-5 draw earlier in the tournament after winning their other two contests.

Seafair Atom A1 Islanders finish second at Arizona tournament The Seafair Atom A1 Islanders made the most of their trip to Scottsdale, Arizona last weekend — winning four of five games to finish second at the Junior Coyotes Tier 1 Elite League MLK AAA Tournament. The Islanders received a steady dose of teams coached by former NHL players and managed 19 goals over the course of the tournament, while surrendering just 10. The first game was a very aggressive affair against the San Jose Junior Sharks which the Islanders won 6-3, led by a hat trick from Ryan Lin. The Sharks’ roster featured kids of NHL alumni Owen Nolan, Evgeni Nabokov, and Curtis Brown. In their second game, the Islanders would lose to the eventual champions — the LA Jr Kings 5-2 — against an extremely well coached team by former longtime Shark and Detroit Red Wing Brad Stuart. The third game was a close 1-0 win over the host Junior Coyotes backstopped by a

STEVESTON SEAFOOD HOUSE You could say Shane Dagan’s connection to the community is as deep as the ocean. Since 1978, this Richmond landmark has been serving up the catch of the day at Steveston Seafood House, located at 3951 Moncton St. When he was a 15-year-old student at Hugh Boyd Secondary, Dagan started as a busboy at the restaurant, “clearing tables and emptying ashtrays.”

ENTRÉE

Seafood Pasta Prawn, halibut, paciﬁc shrimp in a pesto cream or Red Snapper Prawns, shrimp in a New Orleans cream sauce or Pork Roulade Pork tenderloin stuffed with crab, shrimp and asparagus. Served with Madagascar sauce or Osso Bucco

But he kept getting fired, “so I bought the place,” he chuckles. Dagan was 24 years old in 2007 when he became the proprietor and he’s been running the restaurant ever since.

We’re upscale, but not stuffy. We go out of our way to make sure people feel special. SHANE DAGAN, OWNER

In fact, most of the kitchen staff and servers have been on board for decades, as well as chef Sushila Narain, who has worked alongside Dagan since the start. The continuity helps foster a welcoming feel in a fine dining setting.

“We’re upscale, but not stuffy. We go out of our way to make sure people feel special,” Dagan says.

DESSERT

While longevity may rule with the staff, when it comes to the menu at Steveston Seafood House, fresh is the defining descriptor.

The Luxury is on the Plate

“Whenever we can, we buy our seafood from local fishermen. We deal directly with the boats,” Dagan says.

“We go down every day with a bucket and get crabs, or spot prawns… whatever is in season, and when they run out, that’s it until the next day.” The current special at Steveston Seafood House to mark 40 years in business is the $40 three-course Dine Out Menu (on now until mid-February), which includes an appetizer, entree and dessert. In addition, the Seafood House is offering fresh oysters every night for only 1.00 each for the entire year. Along with fresh fare on the menu, there is also philanthropy. A (sold out) wine-tasting event in February is expected to raise $10,000 for a new playground at Grauer Elementary. Dagan says 100 per cent of proceeds from the wine-taster will be given to the cause, and staff are donating their time and tips. Dagan has set up a GoFundMe page which you can find on his web stevestonseafoodhouse.com to help reach the $20,000 goal. Dagan is encouraging members of the community, past students & parents to support this fundraising effort. The restaurant is open for dinner 365 days a year.
