VOICES
Snow can bring out the best Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
It was a case of “ask and ye shall receive” on Tuesday when we posted to our Richmond News Facebook page a request for readers to send in their photos of the snow.
25

A ton of great photographs poured in, one we even deemed worthy of our front page. (Check out others on page 25 and online.) Many of the photos could have taken that top spot, but I couldn’t resist that lovely snow angel and the sight of such joyful abandon — something, I’d argue, we could use a little more of in our lives. While the rest of us grumble about shoveling, “Do you know how long it took me to brush off the car this morning?!” fret about getting to work and complain about the lack of snow plows, it’s refreshing to see a child revel in the wonder of it all. I actually love snow. And not just because it’s pretty and white and makes the world look magical. I also have a secret admiration for the chaos it causes — not so secret now. Granted, it’s easy for me to say. I can always take a bus to work and still be here in 20 minutes. And, no, I wasn’t stuck for three hours on the Canada Line. (Actually, what’s with that? As soon as the weather gets bad, in other words, when we need it most, the Canada Line seems to throw a hissy.) But I, too, am a victim: I can’t ride my bike to work, which irks me, and like everyone else, I have to bundle, shovel and trudge.
29
Regardless, I think it does us good to have to adapt and bow, often literally, to nature. It’s a reminder that we’re not in control of everything and that the world doesn’t revolve around our agendas and to-do lists. One might even call it humbling, reminding us to respect the natural world that sustains us. In this age of global warming, a little humility may just be what saves us. I also love the snow for how it brings people together.
17 28
Yes, I’ve heard the OMG comments about pathetic drivers — our story about the Richmond driver fined for not brushing off his completely snow-laden car got a ton of hits — and thoughtless residents who don’t shovel their sidewalk, but there are also plenty of comments from folks like Huilin Liu (page 4) who talks about the “nice young man” who came over and shovelled her driveway. And speaking of community builders, back to the photos. Just because the snowfall warning has been lifted, our call to residents to submit their pics hasn’t. There’s something about sharing images of ourselves and our environment that goes a long way to creating connection. To that end, the Richmond News is starting a new feature on our website where we will regularly publish submitted photos that reflect our community. So get those cameras poised and, readers, you’re in for a treat. Judging by what we’ve seen so far, Richmond has some amazing photographers. Meanwhile, I’ll soon be heading to Arizona to escape the next bout of winter weather — no irony there.

My company was involved building the sewer along Gilbert Road. They shut down on Monday and Tuesday because they would have to do too much preparatory work...I think Richmond is doing a pretty good job cleaning the roads, but I wish everyone would clean their sidewalks.
Not much. I can still drive on the road. I think the most important thing is that people should be polite and not drive too fast; keep a distance from the car in front of you.

Our driveway and the front yard was covered by the heavy snow so we couldn’t get out. Fortunately, one of our neighbours, a young man, is so nice that he came to help shovel our driveway and sidewalk after he shovelled his. We are very grateful to have such a nice neighbour.

More rental units needed The raccoons Dear Editor,
able.
Re: ’Recruitment crisis’ in Richmond, Business, Jan. 24, 2019. According to 87 per cent of Richmond business owners responding to a Richmond Chamber of Commerce survey, the Richmond housing crisis impacts their ability to hire and keep workers. Richmond has the highest resident worker shortage of any municipality in the Lower Mainland. For every four jobs in Richmond, only two are occupied by workers who live in Richmond, one is occupied by a worker who lives in Vancouver and one is occupied by a worker who lives in a municipality elsewhere in the Lower Mainland despite the lengthy commute. We are importing around 50 per cent of our workforce from places that require us to make huge investments in transportation infrastructure to get them here. They would love to live in Richmond, but the main obstacle is Richmond’s severe rental housing shortage. While 53 per cent of Vancouver’s housing units are rentals, only 26 per cent of Richmond’s housing units are rentals. This shortage has driven up rents for the few units that are avail-
We need thousands of new market rental units in the City Centre where many of the jobs are and there is easy access to mass transit. Ironically, thousands of new housing units will be constructed there over the next few years, but it is most profitable for developers to sell them to investors who frequently leave them vacant. Last year, the B.C. government passed new legislation giving municipalities the power to require a large amount of market rental housing in a designated area. Richmond council recently approved the Richmond Centre redevelopment, which will create 2,200 housing units, but only required that 200 of them be market rental and 150 below market rental. The remaining 1,850 will be offered for sale to investors. Only councillors Carol Day, Kelly Greene and Michael Wolfe wanted to require far more market rental units, while other councillors feared the developers might abandon their redevelopment plans. Should that happen, it would preserve the land for future development to meet our housing needs rather than wasting it now on maximizing developers’ profits.

Many owners of one-story commercial properties are looking for ways to increase revenue by building new mixed-use buildings with commercial on the ground floor and residential units above. Market rental housing will increase their revenue substantially even if it isn’t as profitable as selling condos to investors. Although an important opportunity has been lost at Richmond Centre, Richmond council can still create large amounts of market rental housing in the proposed Lansdowne Centre redevelopment and the other large redevelopment proposals along the No. 3 Road corridor. Council can also put pressure on YVR, which has both land and substantial reserve funds, to build rental housing for the thousands of workers in its concession operations from which it received $130 million in revenue in 2017. Many YVR workers only earn minimum wage and require below market rental housing, a burden that currently falls on the Richmond taxpayer. However, Richmond council will only act when citizens make it clear that much more rental housing must be a top priority.

were here first Dear Editor,
Re: “Time to cull raccoons,” Letters, Feb. 7 A recently published letter blames raccoons for the current blighted conditions on lawns across Richmond. Indeed these conditions are seen all across the Metropolitan area. The writer suggests that the taxpayer foot the bill for cleaning up this eyesore. Well, I, for one, do object. I have lived in Richmond since the late 1960s. As an immigrant, I found a diverse community including raccoons, crows and, apparently, European chafer beetles. This latter is an unwelcome introduced guest. The real reason that it has spread so far is related to another recent immigrant, the absentee landlord. This “pest” is indeed a blight.
Erecting marble-faced monuments to personal wealth and selfishness while exhibiting total disregard for community involvement or sensitivity to responsible property ownership. The neglect of ornamental lawns by this class of invasive species has destroyed the common good that our neighbourhoods once displayed: the venerable front lawn. I say the taxpayer should drive out these careless vandals of community values. Perhaps a bait program or some sort of punitive tax regime would get to the roots of the problem. Leave the raccoons out of this equation — they were here first.

Culling is not Don’t be picky on the solution your benches
Mixed feelings about running yellow lights
Dear Editor, Re: Time to cull raccoons, Letters, Feb. 7, 2019 The culling of wildlife, in this instance raccoons, is an unacceptable and cruel solution. Wildlife have little to no place to roam and feed, if not in residential areas where they also live. Why has it come to this, I wonder? Before using a drastic solution such as culling raccoons, I suggest the following: 1. Check out the City of Vancouver’s European Chafer beetles information site for more sensible solutions. Chafer beetle grubs “feed on root systems, leaving weakened lawns...”; 2. Crows are the main predators in winter as raccoons “hole up in dens during the bitterest days of winter and sleep for long stretches of time (up to a month )“; 3. Rid your lawn of Chafer grubs or be creative and replace your lawn with decorative flowering shrubs or....consider moving up north; 4. Secure your garbage containers with locking lids; 5. A cull is nonsense. Leave wildlife alone!
Dear Editor, Historically I’ve been furious when I see people running a red light. You know the ones, the light goes yellow and they speed up to get through or just cruise through as it turns red. For the past eight weeks I’ve been travelling much more within Richmond. While these people still irritate me and I can’t condone their driving, I have a little bit of understanding. After you’ve hit six red lights in a row, I can see why frustration causes some people to take extra liberties with the yellow/red light on the seventh signal. I will just sit a little longer when my light turns green to avoid getting involved with their frustration. But, of course, that just slows traffic down more.

Dear Editor,
Re: Widows plea for bench boys ‘reunion,’ feature, Jan. 24, 2019 The people who think we should give up our benches because there are no more available are not telling the truth. I went for a walk recently between No. 5 and No. 2 Roads and noticed there are some benches available. In fact, there is one right beside my husband’s, which they say I have to give up or pay $3,000 and that is only good for 10 years. I then went to Parks Programs Community Services Division and asked about this. The man I talked to there agreed that there are some benches available around Richmond, but the people who want the benches don’t want those ones. They want the ones at Garry Point Park and on the south side of the island — the ones that people have had for years. Richmond, be truthful. What’s gone is gone. Purchase whatever benches are available. That is what I did 17 years ago, when I couldn’t get one at Garry Point.
I am sure my loved one doesn’t care that it’s not the greatest view. I know my family doesn’t. We just want a bench we can visit and talk about our memories.
This is like someone coming down your street and deciding you have a view, or house, and they want it. So they honestly feel you should give it up because you have had it long enough. Just a note, the gentleman at the city gave me his card. On the back of it is Richmond’s vision. It says, the City of Richmond’s vision is to be the most appealing, liveable and well-managed community in Canada. It might have been once upon a time, but it sure is not now. Maybe Mr. Brodie and council should read and think about that vision. I lived in Richmond from 1945 to 2013 but left because it was no longer the place I loved, grew up in and raised my children.

Richmond city council has put the brakes on declaring a climate emergency. Despite the majority of council supporting a climate emergency declaration at last week’s committee meeting, council voted Monday evening to defer the motion and wait for a definition of “climate emergency” and an analysis by staff of possible ramifications of making the declaration. Coun. Michael Wolfe, who put forward the motion, said after the meeting that he was disappointed. Instead of creating a framework for the future, council wants to stand on its past accomplishments and awards and its current environmental programs, he said. There seems to be a lack of understanding of what a climate emergency means, Wolfe added, but “climate is a global thing.” What council decided on Monday evening was a “step back,” Wolfe said, and gives excuses and a way-out for other cities when challenged with climate change.

“I hope other cities completely ignore what happened in Richmond and go about being leaders,” Wolfe said. Wolfe said he has spoken to MP Joe Peschisolido about his motion and felt it would have been a step toward getting attention with higher levels of government. At the committee meeting last week, only Couns. Alexa Loo and Chak Au opposed the motion, which had been separated from action items, including setting zero emissions targets. Mayor Malcolm Brodie pointed out that the city is already doing many things to fight climate change. Loo put forward the referral on the climate emergency declaration so that city staff could come back with a definition of “climate emergency.” She said when a “senior official” makes a declaration of an emergency, it has “serious ramifications.” The referral was seconded by Coun. Linda McPhail, and it passed with Couns. Carol Day, Kelly Greene, Wolfe and Harold Steves voting in opposition.
Richmond MLA Linda Reid has been replaced as Assistant Deputy Speaker of the B.C. legislature by Coquitlam-Burke Mountain’s Joan Isaacs. Reid’s role as Assistant Deputy Speaker became contentious after a report was released by Speaker Darryl Plecas in January. The report looked into spending by two high-level legislative employees and raised questions about expense reports and a missing investigation into a retirement allowance that allegedly happened under Reid’s watch. Reid’s own travel expenses were also brought into question.
“Until such time as we get to the bottom of this, it is totally and utterly inappropriate in my view for Ms. Reid to continue to remain in any capacity in the Speaker’s role,” Weaver told the Richmond News in January. The motion for Isaacs to replace Reid was put forward by MLA Mary Polak and came after Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin opened the spring session of the legislature Tuesday afternoon with the throne speech, which included a section on “trust in our public institutions.”
Reid was the Speaker from 2013 to 2017 and took the position of Assistant Deputy Speaker when Linda Reid the NDP formed governFile photo ment in 2017 with support from the Green party. As Assistant Deputy Speaker, Reid received an extra $37,836.87, acAfter the report was released, Green cording to the Province of B.C.

Title to land (not a Valentine’s Day love story)
Earlier this week, reasons for judgment were released in the case Pavlovich v. Danilovic. This was a claim by one of two adult children of a surviving father (who then died in 2011), for an interest in two properties. Titles to those two properties had been transferred in 1988 and 2011 by the father to the “other” child, as joint tenants. The Plaintiff, thinking that the father wanted both children to have an equal interest in the properties, launched action against the sibling. The Court noted the lack of clarity and credibility in the evidence. In these kinds of claims, the legal presumption is that any transfer (by parent to child) is not valid unless the parent intended a gift. Here, the Court found that neither sibling was more credible than the other, so the Court could not find adequate evidence of what the deceased father’s intention was when he transferred the two titles. So the Court found that both properties were held by the siblings in “Resulting” Trust for the deceased father’s estate. It is clear, in my opinion, that parents who add their children to title of their properties, without proper planning and documenting, take the risk that whatever they may have intended may not ultimately be recognized.

Richmond city council is pressuring senior governments to push for an investigation into money laundering, organized crime and illegal gambling. It is also calling on the B.C. attorneygeneral to conduct a full public inquiry with the right to subpoena witnesses. The call for the public inquiry came from Coun. Harold Steves, who said Richmond is the “heart” of the money laundering problem. “It’s not the Vancouver model, it’s the Vancouver model in Richmond that we’re fighting,” Steves said. “We’ve been fighting that for 10 years and I think it’s time people realized that and backed us up.”
The list of recommendations from staff to tackle these issues, which council adopted last night, includes: - pressuring senior levels of government to fund local enforcement, - developing an organizedcrime policing plan, - encouraging the province to make legislative reforms so ownership of corporations and land be transparent, - inviting both Great Canadian Casinos and the B.C. Lottery Corporation to meet with council members. The council motion also included amending the city’s bylaw to require money exchange operators to undergo criminal record checks. A staff report to council pointed out that the problem of organized crime, money laundering and illegal drugs

is too big for one local police force, but despite resources from provincial, national and international police, “Metro Vancouver continues to be identified as an international hub for money laundering, drug trafficking and illegal gambling.” The report notes there were 36 gang unit patrols in 2018 that resulted in 454 business checks at bars, restaurants, massage parlours, the night market, pool halls, internet gaming places and the casino resulting in drug investigations and arrests. Seventynine criminal code charges were laid. The city receives annual revenue from River Rock Casino operations as well as property taxes. According to the city’s 2017 annual report, Richmond received about $16.7 million in gaming revenue.

Budget increase brought down one per cent, but this was cut in half with only $1.08 million going into this fund resulting in a half per cent increase.

P R E S E N T E D
Council managed to bring down its 2019 budget increase to 4.82 per cent from the originally proposed amount of 6.82 per cent by transferring less money to reserves and shaving off money from the community safety budget.

After several finance meetings with staff going through capital budget items, and challenges from couns. Kelly Greene and Carol Day on items that could be cut, in the end, council cut just the one item. Operating budget increases partially resulted from the addition of 36 new RCMP officers as well as an increase in fire fighters and transfers to reserves. Staff had proposed putting about $2.2 million into community facility reserves, which would have meant a tax increase of
The capital budget passed by council is $112 million, originally pegged at $116.5 million. The budget includes the longawaited Steveston Community Centre and library, estimated at $90 million, which is in the early planning stages. Other capital items include a floating dock at Garry Point for $4.2 million, a multi-use pathway on Steveston Highway costing $2 million, a million dollars in upgrades to city hall and the Gateway Theatre second phase, which is estimated to cost $3.7 million. A five-year plan calls for a tax increase in 2019 of 4.82 per cent, 6.69 per cent in 2020, 5.2 per cent in 2021, 3.91 per cent in 2022 and a 5.36 per cent increase in 2023. These numbers have increased over the years. Earlier five-year plans laid out increases for 2019 of just under three per cent. Property tax rates will be set later in the year.

Get ahead of bunny boom: Aussie expert Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Andrew Cox knows first-hand how invasive rabbits can be. After all, one of the biggest ecological disasters in his native Australia was caused by the release of 24 bunnies in the late 19th century, who then marauded their way across the continent unabated. Aussies who know their history, explained Cox, will tell the real-life tale of how, back in the day, they couldn’t build the fence fast enough to halt the march of the rabbits to the west coast. And even today, rabbits still “occupy” twothirds of the vast nation and their voracious appetite is considered the single biggest threat to more than 1,500 endangered species (plants and animals) in the country. So when Cox – CEO of Australian non-profit
Invasive Species Council and keynote speaker at last week’s Invasive Council of BC’s annual conference in Richmond – heard from Richmond-based Rabbitats about the local “bunny boom” issue, his interest was piqued.
The City of Richmond said last year it was monitoring the situation along with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, but added it was limited in what it could do, as the rabbits are the jurisdiction of provincial wildlife legislation.
“My advice is always, ‘if you act early, you can save yourself a lot of grief down the line,’” said Cox, while acknowledging he doesn’t know the full extent of the proliferating rabbit population in Richmond.
Cox, also vice-chair of Environmental Justice Australia, said it’s important to get ahead of the curve, when it comes to controlling rabbit populations.
“It sounds like (in Richmond) a great example of some cracks in the legislative framework are hampering people trying to do the right thing.”
“Rabbits can be destructive. They will simply eat through plant life until it has gone. The damage to farmland can be immense,” added Cox.
The Richmond News reported last summer how local rabbit sanctuaries couldn’t take in any more rabbits and the city-funded animal shelter was unable to house the creatures due to a B.C.-wide rabbit disease last spring.
“But Canada has a different climate (to Australia) and has natural predators. But the more established (an invasive species) gets, the more it can take control.
Local residents reported being over-run by rabbits, some forced to build make-shift shelters in their backyards to prevent them from pro-creating in their townhouse complexes.
City of Richmond
“I haven’t looked at the research here, but I’d imagine that anywhere where the coyote isn’t prevalent, that’s where the rabbits will be.” At last week’s conference at the Pacific
Gateway Hotel, Rabbitats hosted a “Speedy Session,” which was a table designated for people to come by and talk to them for 10 minutes before moving on to another table. Rabbitats founder Sorelle Saidman said last week the growth over the last decade of the local rabbit population “has been alarming.” “The governments and agencies are not reacting to this issue. The City of Richmond is actually regressing,” she claimed. “They just released a report outlining options for a new city shelter with space for only eight rabbits. They were housing between 60 and 80 before.” It’s an oversight that Saidman says is sure to increase abandonment. “What are people supposed to do? They can’t find a place to live with the pet, they can’t surrender the pet to the shelter, they can’t find an adopter, the rescues are unsupported and full. The only option is to abandon or euthanize the rabbit.”

POLICE PRESENCE update at Richmond-News.com
Cargo could blow away Burkeville: Residents founder of Burkeville in about 1943,” said Welters, who has called Burkeville home for more than 20 years.
Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
“People walk their dogs there, there are mature trees, it’s a lovely space. We’ve went to all 328 houses in Burkeville and 305 residents have signed the petition against this.
The construction of a giant cargo facility at YVR could be the last straw for life as Burkeville residents know it. Vancouver Airport Authority (VAA) is planning the three-storey building on green space it owns immediately to the west of the 328-home community on Sea Island.
“YVR are quick to say they’re all about community involvement and they’ve done a survey and all that. “There’s going to be a three-storey hangar, 300 feet from my back door; there’s going to be lots more noise and health concerns. It’s going to make Burkeville uninhabitable.”
The move, say the residents, will bring cargo aircraft and associated operations within 300 metres of their backyards and Sea Island elementary. VAA contends aircraft will come no closer than they do already and are offering to beautify and develop the Templeton corridor for the benefit of the community. For the residents of Burkeville, however, it’s not so much the loss of the 10-acre space they know as Templeton Park, it’s the loss of a “vital buffer zone” for noise pollution from the airport. “We live in Burkeville, we get it, we are used to the noise of aircraft taking off and landing, no problem,” said long-term resident Andrew Baxter. “But we need that noise buffer for the operational stuff; this is coming too close
At the moment, says Welters, there’s about 2,000 feet between the nearest Burkeville home and the FedEx building. Residents of the tiny Burkeville community on Sea Island are fighting against the construction of a new YVR cargo facility a few hundred metres from their backyard and school. The residents say the noise will severely impact their lives, while the airport contends it will be business as usual. Alan Campbell photo now. It’s not the loss of the park space, it’s that buffer. “They can keep all their corridor improvements, we don’t need them. We have constantly asked why this can’t go elsewhere on YVR property.” Dave Welters, who has been at the
forefront of the residents’ protest, said he remembers when baseball used to be played at the park, before “YVR told them to find elsewhere to play” two years ago. “The park was meant as a buffer for the noise from the cargo facilities that are already there. It was placed there by the
Welters guesses that FedEx, Amazon or Purolator are going to be housed in the new facility, but YVR, he says, are keeping quiet on the occupant. A spokesman for YVR said the airport, as part of the Templeton Corridor design, plans to increase connectivity by improving and expanding the area’s path network to “make it safer, easier and more pleasant to access the Canada Line, Flight Path Par, and the Sea Island and Richmond trail and cycling network.” 18

YVR: Cargo building will provide noise barrier As far as noise mitigation is concerned, the spokesman said the airport has undertaken technical analyses to look at potential impacts of the project.
17
As part of that, YVR completed a project noise assessment in 2017 that applied Health Canada guidelines and is “fully compliant with Health Canada processes.” The noise study, according to the airport, concluded there would be “no significant change to current noise levels because the proposed development is similar to its current use. The new building will be oriented to provide a natural noise barrier between the aircraft and the community. “Noise from aircraft engines will be oriented to the west, away from the community; and, smaller cargo vehicles will load
and unload inside the building.” Preliminary concept designs for the building, say YVR, have it at between six and 12 metres high. According to the project’s website, five alternative sites around the airport were explored, but the selected location had the least “environmental impacts and most “manageable community impacts.” More than 100 residents showed up at an information meeting last Thursday at a hotel near the airport. However, residents dismissed it as more “window dressing” from the airport on a project which is “going ahead, no matter what.” “We’re going to get banners put on the backyard fences; we’re going to start naming names,” warned Welters.

Alan Campbell
Gilligan and Hannah, are a brother and sister duo who are looking for a forever home together. They have come a long way since coming into our care. From being scared of humans, to being curious of everything you show them, Gilligan and Hannah now enjoy attention and being noticed. If you are looking for two special feline friends and can provide a quiet home where Gilligan and Hannah can continue building their confidence, come visit them at the Richmond BC SPCA today!
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM Leon Picha can remember the precise moment his life changed: Sunday, Feb. 3, 11:42 a.m. He knows, because he has to run outside to take the phone call, due to poor cell reception inside his home.

At that moment, Leon, a Grade 12 student at McNair secondary, had no idea if the voice on the other end – Loran Scholars Foundation’s CEO Meghan Moore – was going to ignite his dream or break his heart.
5400 Minoru Blvd. 604-276-2477
“Hearing the voice of Loran’s CEO was very scary. I didn’t necessarily know it was going to be a good call,” Leon told the Richmond News. “I’d already been communicating with (other Loran scholarship candidates) who already got the call, with the same small talk and it ended with a ‘no,’ so I didn’t know how this was going to go. “Meghan talked about the B.C. snow and how it hadn’t snowed in a year. She said ‘the snow must be a sign of good luck, because you are now a Loran scholar.’ Around the same time, over at the home of Cole Langer, an equally edgy fellow McNair Grade 12 student, the phone was also ringing. CEO Meghan to Cole: “How’s your day going?” Cole: “Great, thank you.” Meghan: “I’m glad to hear that, because you’ve been selected as a Loran scholar.” An ecstatic Cole signalled to his parents standing close by, provoking tears to roll down his mom’s face. Only two hours earlier, Leon and Cole had stepped off a flight from Toronto, having spent the weekend being put through their paces as two of 88 finalists vying for a coveted $100,000 Loran Award scholarship, which also includes tuition waivers from a partner university, mentorship, summer-internship funding, as well as annual retreats and forums. The boys were plucked out 5,089 candidates nationwide, based on character, commitment to service in the community and leadership potential. The finals included a series of panel-led interviews, with
Enjoy the show!
Grade 12 McNair secondary students Leon Picha (left) and Cole Langer have been awarded two coveted Loran scholarships. Alan Campbell photo the Loran Scholars Foundation granting one of 34 awards to the winners. “It was intimidating, being interviewed by past-chairs of BMO,” said Leon. “I cried twice during the six interviews. The questions were so detailed. They asked about the biggest fear on the upcoming year. I spoke my mind and was talking about my family’s health. My dad has health issues and I was afraid for him. My grandmother, who’s now in her 90s, basically raised me.” Leon plans to study some sort of business administration or business degree and “get a job, I guess.”

“I was thinking either McGill, Western or the University of Toronto. Without (the scholarship), they would only be a dream, so it’s very exciting.” Cole told the News last month how he’d also like to go to McGill University, to do youth psychology, where he can do summer internships and give back to the community. The boys only recently discovered they went to the same South Arm Community Centre pre-school. Full story at Richmond-News.com

DR. MAUREEN PICHÉ DMD
Convenience. Confidence. Care. Those three words best describe the unique service Richmond Denture Clinic is offering its clients. Since last November, the clinic, located at Unit 113 7000 St. Albans Rd., has enlisted the expertise of Steveston Village dentist Dr. Maureen Piché. Dr. Piché runs Harmony Dental Studio, but makes regular visits to Richmond Denture Clinic, providing a full complement of services, from routine procedures such as fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, extractions and even dental implants. Sonia Raeisi, the denture clinic’s owner, said she came up with the idea to add an “in-house” dentist to give her clients a convenient way of getting all of their dental and denture care needs met in one, convenient place, making it a first for a denture clinic in the region. “There are some patients who maybe don’t have a dentist, but need some work done and have to go to another location,” Raeisi said. “This way, we have a dentist right here who can take care of whatever they need. That is a great convenience for them, not having to book another appointment and then travel to another place. “Here, it’s a one-stop shop.” Another bonus of having a dentist on hand is ensuring the quality of treatment as both denturist and dentist work together to plan and implement the work, using
their combined skills and experience for the best outcome. “It helps with the planning process, plus, between myself and Dr. Piché, we have very good communication to make sure the patient’s treatment is maximized,” Raeisi said, adding that provides a huge measure of confidence for the patient. And since both Raeisi and Dr. Piché, who was the winner of the Earl Ellison Award for Excellence in geriatric dentistry while attending UBC, work alongside each other in the treatment room, their patients experience an increased level of care. “I am always in the room with the dentist and we discuss the cases and know exactly what’s happening,” Raeisi said, adding that ensures nothing gets lost in translation if the patient had to visit a separate dentist or denturist in a different location. “Patients just love it. It’s such a great service for them and such a huge benefit,” Raeisi said. “When they come in they get a full and proper treatment plan which can take into account so much more, like knowing right away what the overall impact will be. “Will a patient be able to keep certain teeth, will others need to be extracted, or do they just need a filling or a crown?” For more about Richmond Denture Clinic, call 604-273-4221, or visit online at: RichmondDentureClinic.ca.

For some, Richmond was a winter wonderland this week. For others, it was a frozen nightmare. A multi-day snowfall warning brought several inches of flakes, the first school snow day in years, transit delays and traffic snarls throughout the city, with the weather advisory finally lifting Wednesday morning. Snow crunches commutes The winter weather wreaked havoc on transit and traffic over the week, as roads were difficult to navigate and buses faced delays.
“It was just an unusual situation and, really unfortunately, caused a challenging evening,” Bryan said.
What the heck is this?
For a time Monday evening, service was also disrupted to YVR Airport. Even though TransLink takes several steps in snowy weather to keep trains operating, there are still risks for the partly outdoor rail line. “Trains are up in the air, there’s an exposed guideway. They travel over the Fraser River, where there’s a lot of moisture coming up from the water. They can develop ice quite quickly,” Bryan said. For drivers, a few crashes caused delays on the roads and RCMP officers were out enforcing safety.
At least one driver was fined $109 for Monday night a Canada Line train got “vision obstructed” after being caught stuck for three hours between Aberdeen and Lansdowne stations after ice built driving while their car was covered in several centimetres of snow, with only up on the power a tiny portion of rail, trapping pas- Driving blind the back window sengers on board. cleared.

Climbing for her husband Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
“I am so grateful that Kim’s here…” Richmond’s Jackie Hall will have no problem motivating herself or her #KimStrong team on Sunday, Feb. 24, as they scale the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre for the BC Lung Association’s 18th annual Climb the Wall fundraiser. After all, one of those people living with such serious health problems is her husband, Kim, who survived a double lung transplant just over a year ago. “It’s one way we can recognize and give thanks to Kim’s lung donor, doctors, surgeon, transplant and rehab teams, the BC Lung Association, and everyone dedicated to improving the lives of lung patients and their families,” said Jackie, who lives with Kim, and their kids, Charlie, 14, and Oliver, 8 at their home near Blundell and No. 4 roads. Kim fell ill with an aggressive auto-immune condition in October 2017 which, by December, was attacking his lungs. Around Christmas that year, Kim’s doctors agreed that his best option for survival was a transplant, and incredibly, only a day later, he got news that matching lungs were available. By New Year’s, Kim had new lungs, and had begun the road to recovery.
Jackie Cox (centre) is climbing the Sheraton Wall Centre again to raise funds in honour of her sick husband, Kim. And soon after Kim came through surgery in early 2018, grateful for all the support the family received, Jackie and her friends first signed up to participate in Climb the Wall. They decided to name their team after a note Kim gave Jackie upon waking up from surgery: “He wrote ‘Be strong’,” said Jackie, a City of Richmond employee, “so we named our team #KimStrong.” “I had hoped Kim would be well enough to come to climb with us this year, but he’s not quite there yet,” said Jackie. To support the family, visit StairClimb.ca and make a donation to their team: #KimStrong. Full story at Richmond-News.com

McMath is slated to take on the Burnaby South Rebels tonight with a win not only securing a spot in the final but a trip to the Langley Events Centre for the upcoming BC AAA Championships. Zone re-alignment for the 201920 school year will see a dramatic shift with Richmond teams being part of a new South Fraser zone that will also feature Surrey and Delta schools. In the meantime, the Wildcats’ are focused on recapturing the Crehan Cup for the second time in four years thanks to a pair of wins over their biggest city rival. McMath captured their sixth consecutive Richmond championship with a 77-58 win over the StevestonLondon Sharks. Four days later, the teams met again in Crehan Cup quarter-final play thanks to being the No. 1 and No. 9 seeds respectively in the 12-team tournament. The Wildcats prevailed again, led by the 26-point performance from Grade 8 standout Marina Radocaj and another 20 from city MVP Liz Kennedy in a 77-63 victory. The script was similar to the city final with McMath racing out to a big first half lead and the scrappy Sharks never giving up. The margin grew to 25 points in the third quarter before Steveston-London pulled back within 12 in the late stages of the fourth quarter. The Wildcats’ scoring depth was also showcased. In front of a big crowd at Burnett Secondary, it was the team’s other Grade 8 star — Caitlin Kippan — leading the way with a 23-point performance. She missed the rematch
NUMBERS
McMath Wildcats stopped Shir Dayan and the Steveston-London Sharks for their sixth straight Richmond Senior Girls Basketball Championship. Both teams are now at the Crehan Cup. with the flu yet McMath still duplicated its point production thanks to the efforts of Radocaj, Kennedy, along with Jenya Wilson (13), Kate Carkner (10) and Caitlin Bradley-Tse (10). That was a dimension that was missing a year ago when the Wildcats leaned too much on standout guard Abby Zawada who is now at the University of Fraser Valley. They can mainly thank the remarkable contributions from Radocaj and Kippan for that. In the city final they combined for 39 points and 35 rebounds. “Their development from from the first time we played Steveston-London in league play back in early December until now is incredible,” marveled Wildcats coach Chris Kennedy. “They really came through for us
with scoring and rebounding. There were just really assertive and all over the boards, using their size advantage.” As for the Sharks, there is plenty to be excited about too thanks to a young core that includes consistent production from Grade 10 First Team Richmond All-Stars Mina Chong and Sharlene Siy, along with Grade 11 guard Shir Dayan who poured in 31 points Saturday in Steveston-London’s win over Burnaby Central to open the Lower Mainland playoffs. The Sharks now look to battle their way back into contention for one of three BC berths up for grabs this week. “Our girls played tough and with a lot of grit. I couldn’t be prouder of them. We made made some proper adjustments at the half but needed

to do more than trade baskets with them,” said Steveston-London coach PJ Badillo, who watched his team pull out a thrilling semi-final win in double overtime against Boyd. “This is a young team with a bright future ahead of them. We can hang with a lot of teams and need to just keep coming hard.” The city’s individual award winners included: MVP: Liz Kennedy (McMath) First Team All-Stars: Mina Chong (Steveston-London) Sharlene Siy (Steveston-London), Marina Radocaj (McMath), Kara Moscovitz (Boyd), Clara Hoh (Richmond Christian). Second Team All-Stars: Jayna Wilson (McMath), Megan Estrada (Boyd), Veronica Lin (McRoberts), Rana Ghadymimahani (Palmer), Michel Doria (MacNeill).

Wildcats turn on the jets to capture junior boys crown The Richmond Junior Boys Basketball title tilt at Cambie Secondary was all about speed and the McMath Wildcats wouldn’t want it any other way. In a game that took just over an hour to play, the Wildcats blitzed their way to city bragging rights with a 59-45 win against the MacNeill Ravens in a battle of provincially ranked top 10 teams. McMath used its athleticism to utilize an effective zone press that gave the Ravens fits throughout the contest. Following a low scoring opening quarter, the Wildcats took control with a 16-5 run and enjoyed 28-11 lead into halftime. Travis Hamberger looks for an open teammate in the city final.
Some effective three-point shooting was added in the third quarter when McMath exploded for 23 points to take a 51-22 advantage into the final eight minutes.

“This group has bought into the system,” said McMath head coach Jon Acob. “They believe in team basketball and the defensive stuff. Their pressure is great.
“Talking to a lot of people, we thought it would be better for them to have success at the junior level and have a good shot at winning a provincial championship,” added Acob.
“It doesn’t matter who scores because they know everyone has the green light to shoot. It’s a very fun group to coach. “
Michael Kitka and Hutchful led McMath with 15 each. Hamberger added 10.

Denturist Intern REQUIRING PATIENTS
KLASSEN, Frank Voth VI Frank Voth Klassen VI, 88, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Feb. 8 at Delta Hospital in Ladner. He was deeply loved as a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. Frank was born on June 2, 1930 in Steinbach, MB to Frank and Katharina - their only son after three daughters. He grew up in Winnipeg and Pemukan (AB) before eventually moving to the Fraser Valley in 1950. He met his first love Ruth Rempel up a cherry tree in Yarrow. They dated three years before marrying October 31, 1953. While living back on the Prairies, they had four children before eventually returning to BC in 1973. In Richmond, Frank started Sonrise Duplication - a successful company that enabled many local musicians, including then ‘unknowns’ Michael Bublé, Sarah McLachlan, Raffi and Charlotte Diamond, to inexpensively distribute their music on cassettes and CDs long before the advent of iTunes. He ultimately sold the company and retired in 2000. After his wife passed away in 2011, Frank met the final love of his life - Sally Peters, who had also been recently widowed. They married in June 2014 and enjoyed their remaining wonderful years together in Ladner. Frank is survived by sons Frank VII (Karen), Lorne (Rose) and Jeff (Kate); wife Sally and her children Tammy (Harry) Harms and Randy (Lois) Peters; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and sisters Elvira Baerg, Nora Kroeker and Frances Willms; He was predeceased by his parents, first wife Ruth and daughter Cynthia Ruth Klassen (February 10, 2012). Our families thank Dr. Ruth Turnbull and the many fine medical staff at Delta Hospital for their kindness and care of Frank in his final months.

Ellen Mary Johnston (nee Edwards) was born on July 17, 1924, in Haney, B.C. Raised in Haney, she later married Alexander Ward Johnston (19241996) in Vancouver, where they raised their children: Julie, John, Bradley and Lori. An avid curler and golfer she also enjoyed cooking and knitting for others. She loved gardening and animals, especially her beloved dogs and hummingbirds. With a keen sense of humour, she enjoyed writing rhyming, humorous sagas to describe a current event. She had a passion for card playing and word games and with a mind that was sharp as a tack to her final day, she could bring down the toughest contender. However, at 94 years old, her body could not keep up to her sharp wit and she died peacefully in her sleep on January 27, 2019. She is survived by her children, 8 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. She now finds her final resting place in the Maple Ridge Cemetery next to her parents, John and Irene Edwards. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the BC SPCA.
