Dangers of deleting news Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Vacations are not the time to be obsessively looking at work emails — and I wasn’t...for the most part. But in came not one, but two somewhat provocative emails. In both cases, the writer threatened to take the Richmond News to court if we didn’t remove a 20-something-year-old news story.

The requests (veiled threats) bring up what I believe to be a pressing issue facing all editors — the request to delete old stories in a digital age. In the past, the request would have been a non-starter. Unless there is a factual error or someone was in physical danger, the story stayed. In both cases, the story in question names an individual who was charged, and subsequently convicted, of drug trafficking. The person went to jail, turned his life around and has since been granted a pardon from the parole board. (Actually, they’re not called pardons any more, rather “a suspension of record.” In 2015, it was determined that the word “pardon” could imply forgiveness, and given the damage that may have been done to others as a result of a crime, it’s not the government’s place to grant forgiveness.) But whatever you call it, the idea is that there comes a point when a person, regardless of their criminal past, should be allowed to move on with their lives without the burden of a record that could jeopardize employment, travel or the ability to hold any position with a fiduciary duty. Granting pardons/record suspensions is nothing new. What is new is the power and reach of the world wide web and the fact most of us have access to it with the touch of our phones. So while the parole board may have suspended an individual’s record on all government sites, if you Google their name, up comes that 20-year-old news story. (Back in the old days, you’d have to know when the story was published, go to the library and look it up on microfiche. That rarely happened, so the record was as good as gone.)

25 9 20

I’m a ﬁrm believer in second chances and giving people the opportunity to reintegrate. However, I also believe in our responsibility as a newspaper to provide a historical record. And I really don’t like the idea of reaching back in time and mucking around with the facts. A crime happened, should we pretend it didn’t by deleting the whole story? What about the others involved in the crime, do they get a pass? Or, should I go in and just take out that one individual’s name? But that could create an error by implying fewer people were involved. What I offered to do, in one case, is write a follow-up story that not only describes the course of the individual’s life but also addresses the discrimination faced by people with criminal records. I thought it could be a great opportunity to look at how we expect people to change but create barriers to letting them do that. The lawyer wanted none of it. These aren’t the only requests I’ve had to remove a story, which brings up the slippery slope. If we remove one, where does it stop? This could set a dangerous precedent. Newspapers have a responsibility to not just document events of the day, but also maintain the integrity of that archive. Deleting or rewriting stories challenges that creed at its core.

Should we ban cellphones during class time in B.C.’s schools?

Yes, it’s a good idea. It’s a huge distraction. Some people just can’t pay attention if they’re on their phone.

I grew up in an era where there were no cellphones. I feel it’s a distraction to students.

STUDENT

I do agree. Cellphones are a really big distraction. I think (banning them) would be very helpful for teachers during lecture time.

Sounds of Richmond

Old way is not necessarily the best way

It’s common to hear the refrain about how much Richmond has changed. While change is constant, Richmond’s a wonderful place to live with many reminders of history including the Britannia National Historic Site, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, dairy farms in East Richmond, ﬁshing boats, docks and the Steveston Harbour along the Fraser. Some of the most intriguing memories and feelings are stirred by sounds that I’ve heard in Richmond since I was a kid.

Re: “City council argues over agenda time,” News, March 7.

city and we don’t want councillors just rubber stamping things.

In reading an article about some councillors requesting/needing more time to review information, I was shocked at the response of Mr. McNulty and Mayor Brodie. “Things having been done this way for 25 years” is no excuse to shut down a valid discussion in this manner.

It seemed almost to be an “old gentleman’s club” response to a very valid request. Recent news has us understand how people (especially women) are no longer accepting bullying in the workplace, and I feel we have to be careful about using “this is how it’s done” language. When new councillors are voted in, it’s because their ideas were supported and longstanding councillors really have no right to shoot them down based on nothing more than “we don’t do it that way around here.”

Dear Editor,

Recently, when I mentioned fog horns to a boat captain, he was a little reluctant to talk since he thought I was going to complain about the noise. I explained how much I enjoy the sound of fog horns. The sound can be nostalgic, mysterious, romantic, spooky and they’re a healthy signal of commerce along the Fraser. While we’re lounging or half asleep in our homes, the distant sound of a fog horns along the river reminds us of the ships and their crews ﬁnding their way safely home. Even in a high tech world of GPS and radar, fog horns pierce the foggy shroud, bringing ships safely up and down the Fraser. On another fall morning, a distant popping sound from the south aroused the curiosity of a neighbour who asked me what I thought it was. Ever since I can remember, I’ve heard those sounds and I know it’s hunters, far to the south. My neighbour seemed genuinely surprised and I reassured them that it’s far away and seasonal. While I’m not a hunter, I know many who do hunt and the distant sounds of the duck hunt is second nature to my ears and deﬁnitely

a reminder of something that was much more common than it is today. Early on those mornings, the sounds remind me of a centuries old ritual of hunters crouching silently, hidden, watching, with dogs by their sides waiting for the chance to retrieve.

Perhaps my favourite sounds are those from airplanes, and I confess to being a plane fan and watcher. Like many, I look up at almost any airplane that ﬂies overhead whether it’s a modern wide body jet, a Cessna or a sea plane, turbine of loud piston, banking in over the No. 2 Road Bridge for a water landing on the Fraser. When I was a kid, there was only one main runway at YVR and the cross runway was used a lot more than today. The older jets, DC9s and DC8s, and propeller passenger planes, Vickers Viscounts, would pass over our house on Walton Road, low and loud, and every kid would watch with wide eyes, open mouths and curiosity. Nowadays, we hear complaints about airplane noise, and while YVR is very attentive to those concerns, more than once, I’ve been heard to say, the airport has been here a long time and Richmond beneﬁts from it. You knew the airport was here, right? While these sounds may not be everyone’s cup of tea, you can still kick back a little and enjoy the fog horns on the Fraser, hunters in the distant marshes and airplanes overhead. They’re all sounds that have deep historical roots in Richmond and although change is constant, these sounds have been around a long time!

Andy Hobbs RICHMOND

A WOMAN’S PLACE IS ON HOME ICE

As a Richmond resident during that 25 years, we’ve seen farmland devoured by mansions, a casino in our neighbourhood become a hub of money laundering; we have birthing houses and make-shift hotels in residential neighbourhoods; we’ve seen shops set up to buy passports, driver’s licenses, etc.

These guys are senior members and may have more free time than others, but that doesn’t mean their schedule is everyone’s schedule or “the” schedule. We’re in 2019, not 1965 — people do balance, school, families, work, etc. and it’s perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to do so. It’s not about “managing time” but managing our city. And if that takes an extra day or two, please don’t rush the process. Because, over the past years, that may have been part of a problem, not a solution.

So, maybe that 25 years of doing things their way should be open to review and possible change. Council should be welcoming and open to listening to all members, especially newcomers who wish to exercise due diligence and carefully review material. They should remember that they, too, had training wheels at one time and just because they now can ﬂy through things with ease, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t allow extra time for those just settling in.

Open letter to mayor and council, Being that you are asking for suggestions on how to reuse the old Minoru aquatic building, here‘s mine.

Over the past years, new locations for the museum have been suggested, but that‘s as far as council and city staff have got — until the idea and implimentation of the Olympic Museum came to be. But that is not a museum about the community‘s history.

in its collection is in storage and can never be displayed due to the present size of the museum. This is a tragedy in that the community‘s history cannot be told to a full extent. Books and pictures are one thing, but a threedimensional exhibit is another. This is why the Britannia Heritage Shipyard, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, London Farm and the Steveston Museum are all success stories. The museum staff work so hard to create the best exhibits they can, but they need more support from council and staff. The then-vacated museum space, could be turned over to the archives.

Rolling stops galore on Moncton Dear Editor, Re: “RCMP Supt. has Richmond Mounties’ backs over rolling stops,” Letters, March 10. I have been following, with great interest, the letters regarding ticketing for rolling stops. I was particularly interested in the comments of Ofﬁcer In Charge, Will Ng about his ofﬁcers reacting to any infraction they witness.

604.664.9009 gulfofgeorgiacannery.org

The corner of Third Avenue and Moncton Street should be of interest to any trafﬁc divi-

sion ofﬁcer, or any ofﬁcer in the neighbourhood for that matter. If one spends any time around that four-way stop intersection (especially in the morning), they will bear witness to a litany of rolling stops and, in all too many instances, vehicles barely slowing down, just blasting through that intersection where the alleged speed limit is 30 km/h (which should be the limit for all non-arterial streets).

Doris wasn’t looking for a move to a senior citizen housing complex when her friend suggested she take a look at The Maple Residences in Steveston. “I lived alone in a large townhouse,” she says, “It was a lot of work and expensive to keep up, so I put my name down and decided to give it a go for three months.” That was in 2012. “I’m still here,” she laughs.

Everyone is so friendly here and the staff is wonderful. I like company and if I want a cup of tea, I just go downstairs and there’s always someone to chat to.” Asked if she’d recommend independent living at The Maples, Doris doesn’t hesitate: “I would!” she says

Man, 25, ﬁghting for life after morning shooting

Distracted drivers nabbed by police Maria Rantanen

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A lot more distracted drivers in Richmond were handed ﬁnes in January compared to previous months.

A 25-year-old man is ﬁghting for his life in hospital after shots were ﬁred Tuesday morning on Mitchell Island in Richmond.

A total of 116 people were ticketed for distracted driving, compared to 38 in December and 53 in November. There was also an increase in the number of speeding tickets given out — 379 in January compared to 235 in December. There were 1,177 violation tickets handed in total in January; in December, this total was 993.

Richmond Mounties are asking for witnesses and information after they were called to the industrial area of the island at about 9 a.m. Police responded to reports of a man shot at a training facility in the 11000-block of Twigg Place, where a witness reported seeing a man dressed in black ﬂeeing the area on foot.

In a report to the public safety committee, crime statistics from the four largest Lower Mainland communities served by the RCMP — Richmond, Coquitlam, Burnaby and Surrey — were compared and Richmond had the second lowest violent crime and property crime rates.

Upon arrival, ofﬁcers discovered the 25-year-old suffering from serious, potentially life-threatening injuries. He was been taken to hospital and received treatment.

A short time later, Richmond RCMP received a report of a vehicle on fire in the 5600-block of No. 7 Road. Police couldn’t confirm whether the shooting and vehicle fire were related, however the shooting is not believed to a random incident. The Richmond RCMP Serious Crime Unit, with support from the Integrated Forensic Identification Service and Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service, contained both scenes for the investigation.

“At this point, we are asking anyone who may have been a witness to either of these incidents and have not already spoken with police, to contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-2781212,” said BC RCMP media relations ofﬁcer Sgt. Janelle Shoihet.

But several areas show crime statistics for the month of January were up as compared to last year. Robberies doubled from ﬁve to 10, and serious assaults increased to 14 from nine. Car thefts were up 106 per cent, from 16 last year in January to 33 this year, but theft from cars was down, with only 183 recorded this January compared to 217 in January 2018. Mental-health related calls also jumped signiﬁcantly, from 111 in January of last year, to 190 this January, an increase of 71 per cent. Fire-rescue statistics at Richmond-News.com

Topwin Trading Co. Ltd, which used to have a warehouse on Olafsen Avenue near Bridgeport and Shell roads, pleaded guilty to illegally importing a herbal oil containing a protected orchid species.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Topwin Trading violated a trade act. Three years ago, Canada Border Services Agency intercepted a shipment containing more than 10,000 vials of the oil. ECCC said a shipping invoice indicated the shipment of 51 boxes of vials included plant material derived from a species of orchid native to East Asia and known as the hyacinth orchid or Chinese ground orchid. The company admitted violating the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act. Topwin Trading also pleaded guilty in 2010 to illegally importing a carton of another plant species, commonly used in dried form as a medicinal herb.

Topwin Trading Co, which used to operate out of Olafsen Avenue in Richmond, has been ﬁned $50,000 for the illegal importation of a protected orchid.

Bins safer thanks to Richmond ﬁrm Daisy Xiong DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Green Inspiration, a Mitchell Island-based company committed to recycling clothes, announced last week that it has made all its collection bins across the

Lower Mainland safer in order to prevent people being trapped in them.

“We have a responsibility to make it as safe and convenient as possible for the community to get rid of their unneeded clothes,” said Pavel Lalev, Green Inspiration’s administrative and develop-

ment manager.

The company started its search for effective ways to make the containers safer, following a series of incidents across the Lower Mainland that included people getting stuck inside collection bins. In 2015, one of the company’s bins was involved in a

Land Act: Notice of Intention to Apply for a Disposition of Crown Land Take notice that the City of Richmond has applied to the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNROD), Surrey for a tenure lease of a waterlot to construct a new public pier partly situated on Provincial Crown Land located at the Morey Channel (foot of Hollybridge Way and River Road; east of the Richmond Olympic Oval). Legal Description: Unsurveyed foreshore or land covered by water being part of the bed of the Fraser River, Group 1, New Westminster District.

fatal incident, when a woman became trapped inside a bin in Pitt Meadows.

“We now work with a California manufacturer (Securr) to adapt all 110 of our bins with a new mechanism to make sure nobody can climb into or get trapped in the bins,” said Lalev. All the new bins include a secondary bafﬂe on the loading tray to deny physical access, other than donations of bundles or bags. The City of Delta, which had previously banned all collection bins operating, approved the design last month, allowing the company to put their bins back on their sites.

Auto mall expands Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A new Porsche dealership might become the tallest building in the Richmond Auto Mall. Richmond city council is looking at an application to build a three-storey dealership on Smallwood Place, proposed to be between three and eight metres higher than the 12-metre height permitted by bylaw. The building, which will replace the Hyundai dealership, would include a showroom, service drive-through, workshop, storage, parking, a detailing car wash, a vehicle photo booth, ofﬁces and staff space. Coun. Michael Wolfe said he was concerned the shadow of the building would stretch into the environmentally sensitive area of the Richmond Nature Park in the early morning. In the context of sustainability, he also questioned why there wouldn’t be solar panels on the building. Mayor Malcolm Brodie pointed out that in the planning committee, the proponent had

said, as a sustainable idea, there would be parking on the roof to get cars off the road, leaving little room for solar panels. This building would be about half a metre taller than the tallest building in the auto mall, staff explained to council last week. Coun. Kelly Greene proposed a referral to ask for more sustainable options. “We’re seeing this creep, creep, creep of FAR (ﬂoor-area ratio) and height and I wonder as the renewal of the auto mall continues, are we going to continue to see the creep, are we going to see every application is a little bit bigger than the last,” she said. She added that the entire auto mall plan should be looked at or council should be saying the variances are “too much.” Brodie said, when the auto mall was running out space a few years ago, they came with a request to go onto agricultural land. “We told them that the challenge for them was to densify where they already were,” Brodie said. Greene’s referral was defeated. The height variances will be considered during the development permit application process.

Fewer board meetings In a bid to cut down on staff time use, the Richmond board of education will only meet once a month, as a pilot, from April to June, to use up less staff time and be more efﬁcient. Some trustees pointed out, however, the meetings are already efﬁcient and there are many issues coming up for the board to deal with. “It’ll be interesting to see if lesser amount of board meetings will be helpful with all the work we have to do, with the LRFP (Long-Range Fa-

cilities Plan) and the budget,” said Trustee Donna Sargent, adding meetings are already efﬁcient. Despite voting in favour of the reduced number of meetings, she voiced concern that the time saved at board meetings will just be transferred to more time spent at board workshops, which staff are also expected to attend. Trustee Debbie Tablotney pointed out there are standing committees and the one or two board meetings held

monthly aren’t the only meetings trustees attend. She added in-depth conversations take place at those standing committees, which then bring recommendations to the board. Workshops are voluntary, don’t require a quorum and no decisions are made in them, said board chair Ken Hamaguchi. Committee meetings and board meetings, except incamera meetings, are all open to the public.

Living apart together – Canada’s new relationship

Statistics Canada’s new report, released in the last week, shows that more and more of us are living alone. And it’s not confined to widowed seniors.

Social media effects concern city council Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond city councillors are calling on the province to introduce policies protecting teens from what some are calling the “toxicity” of social media. At a February council meeting, a motion was passed directing staff to write a letter to provincial and federal governments, asking them to examine the effects of social media use and possible protections for youth. Coun. Kelly Greene said the goal of the letter is to let other levels of government know how social media is affecting youth on the ground level. Greene pointed to the example set by France, which banned cellphone use in schools last year. Ontario passed similar regulations this week, stat-

ing cellphone use during instructional time will be banned as of September.

“I think it’s really important that we make sure that other levels of government (know what’s happening), who might not be hearing these stories because we’re really close to the ground as a municipal council,” she said. “I know that, not only Richmond, but Richmond is affected by the toxicity of the online, social media experience for young teens and older teens.” Last month, the province announced it is investing $160,000 to provide 190 online safety sessions to 19,000 B.C. students. However, Greene says that more action needs to be taken, adding that possible negative effects of social media on youth mental wellness could be seen as a “health issue” and that there’s a need for more data on these effects.

“Without the research to back up what we’re experiencing on the ground, I think it’s just going to end up in an anecdotal kind of ﬁle, and we need more than that. Kids deserve it,” she said.

The fastest-growing group is actually the 35-64 year old, middle adult singles. Senior Stats Can analyst Nora Galbraith suggests that marital breakups, and increased life expectancies for men, are factors in the “even gender distribution of single-person households.” However, many people living alone are now in “LAT” relationships: that is, they are involved but not living with a “significant other.” Stats Can’s report says that one-third of people aged 20 to 34 are in LAT relationships. From 35 to 64, one-fifth are in LAT relationships. The implications of this trend are enormous, in my opinion. I expect that over the longer term, it will influence the demand for certain types of housing, change certain aspects of matrimonial law, estate planning, the Canada Pension Plan, and so on. And all this surely affects the important issue of loneliness in our society.

Spaces designed to connect seniors hundred metres away and features high ceilings and many gathering places. The seniors centre has a “living room” space, the ﬁreside lounge, which is two storeys high and the entire facility has a “generosity of space.”

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Inter-connected spaces and generous views are integrated into the design of the new Minoru Centre for Active Living, a contemporary building that brings together three different facilities under one roof — a seniors centre, an aquatic centre and a ﬁtness centre. This Monday, the seniors centre portion opened and the community was able to get a ﬁrst-hand look at the contemporary design at Minoru Park.

A trend in contemporary design is connectedness, Condon explained, while facilities in the past were more inward looking with less emphasis on grand spaces or spaces that bring people together. The focus used to be on speciﬁc activities, whereas now, designers look at the spaces in between the activities as well. “In the past we built these facilities as much more enclosed and sort of dark boxes,” Condon said.

Darryl Condon, managing partner at HCMA Architecture + Design, was involved from the beginning in the conceptual design process, working with the community and city council to deﬁne the needs and objectives of the project and reconcile the interests of all the stakeholders. Sometimes, people’s wishes exceed available resources and the architectural design team needs to listen carefully and ﬁnd where needs overlap and mutual opportunities might exist, he explained. “We’re really proud of the design (of the Minoru Centre of Active Living) and we felt it’s setting a new standard for community facilities in the province — we believe the

While the activities in the building are still important, those spaces in between where people bump into their neighbours, have a coffee and socialize are given a bigger emphasis today, he added.

that by combining facilities, you’re taking advantage of the synergies that exist in the community and you’re accommodating a much wider range of needs,” Condon said.

Connecting to nature, fresh air and natural light is also more valued in contemporary facilities.

The seniors centre portion of the Minoru Centre for Active Living at Granville Avenue and Minoru Boulevard, at about 30,000 square feet, has twice the programmable space of the former seniors centre just a few

“It’s very much connected to a larger trend in community facilities that embraces the site and opens up the site in very strong ways and this facility certainly does that,” Condon said.

Seniors come together “The approach we took from an architectural language standpoint is a contemporary approach,” Condon said. “It expresses a strong civicness in a way that is very much reﬂective of our times today but also looks optimistically towards the future.”

The architects, however, must be careful in their design process, so the facility doesn’t feel too large, and so people feel comfortable in their surroundings. The downstairs area, in-

cluding the ﬁreside lounge with a grand piano, will be dedicated for seniors. Some areas might be available upstairs for other community uses as well. The entire complex is 110,000 square feet in size, and the pools will have 60 per cent more water surface area than the current Minoru Aquatic Centre. On Tuesday, the seniors centre was bustling and most of the activity rooms were occupied with seniors playing cards, pool and carpet-bowling, while oth-

ers were doing Zumba. A singing session was taking place in the ﬁreside lounge. “I’m very optimistic that people are going to look back on this building and see that was an incredibly wise investment that the community made in building it,” Condon said.

Kayla Riar was inspired to raise money for the Heart & Stroke Foundation’s school-focused program that raises awareness about healthy eating and active lifestyles after her dad passed away last year from coronary artery disease. “I want other kids to be healthy so they can have a happy life,” Kayla, 9, said. She set up a website and wrote down why it was important to raise money and awareness. Her initial goal was to raise $150 — so far she’s raised more than $6,700. This is one of the top online fundraisers ever for Jump Rope for Heart, noted the foundation. In addition, Kayla’s friend, Sara, has raised $2,030 and the school in its entirety has raised more than $10,000, putting them in the top spot in the province. Kayla said she felt “proud and excited,” starting from a small amount and eventually raising much more than ﬁrst anticipated.

up her success at fundraising to her persistence: “I was not afraid to keep asking.” Jump Rope for Heart is meant to motivate kids to be active and reinforce healthy habits. Other goals of the program are teaching social responsibility and empowering kids as they fundraise. Kayla’s message to her fellow students is to always try your best, always think positive. “I didn’t know when I started, I could do this,” she said. Next year, her brother Kaylum will be in kindergarten and will help with the fundraising, said Kayla’s mother, Anita Riar. Sasha Sa, community coordinator with the Heart & Stroke Foundation said when individuals like Kayla and her mother embrace the Jump Rope for Heart program, it inspires others as well. “Working for the Heart & Stroke Foundation, we have to always keep in mind where each dollar comes from — there are stories behind every donation,” Sa said in an email. “Individuals like Kayla motivate us to make each donor dollar go further in combating heart disease and stroke and helping Canadians live longer, healthier lives.” The money from the Jump Rope for Heart program has raised about $31 million in total, which has supported about a thousand medical researchers. It has also allowed for 8,000 automated external deﬁbrillators (AEDs) to be installed in communities across the country.

Long-time Richmond resident Edward Liu was nominated for the B.C. Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Award last week for his years of dedication to these areas. “I’m very happy about (the nomination) and am encouraged by it,” said Liu, a Hong Kong immigrant and one of the editors for Chinese newspaper Sing Tao Daily. “By recognizing people who use their time to contribute to the harmony of the community, it’s a great way to convey to them that these people are not alone; they are supported by the government.” Liu was one of the organizers for a number of anti-racism rallies in Richmond, including one in 2016 after anti-immigration ﬂyers targeting the Chinese community were distributed in the Steveston area. The event at the Brighouse Canada Line station drew more than 250 people from various ethnic backgrounds at the time. Liu was also a speaker at a major anti-racist demonstration at Vancouver City Hall in 2017, where almost 4,000 people showed up to counter a previously planned rally against immigration. “My talk was about the goodness of multiculturalism...There are some problems and issues, but hatred is not the solution,” said Liu. As a columnist for the major Chinese newspaper, Liu has conveyed his ideas to a larger audience through the power of words. One popular article he wrote last September was after the police announced that the murder suspect of 13-year-old Marissa (Xiaoyu) Shen was a Syrian refugee.

“Richmond is their hometown, Canada is their home country. If I think racial harmony is important to them and their generation, then I think I have the responsibility and moral duty to do something to contribute to that particular area,” he said. Liu believes racial harmony is not something static, which a society either has or does not have, but instead it’s something people need to make an effort to maintain.

“I encourage people to step outside of their comfort zones...to reach out to people from different backgrounds,” said Liu. “Instead of thinking of the disadvantages that have been brought to the community by immigrants, think about what you can do to enhance multiculturalism in Canada.” The provincial government will announce the award recipients on March 21.

“That created a lot of emotion in the community,” said Liu. “The article became an important source for people, at least in the Chinese community, to help them to put the whole thing into healthier perspective, instead of just blaming refugees.” Liu said one of his biggest motivations for doing the work is his children.

Team Friday serves up 4,000th free lunch Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM As he waited patiently in line in the Richmond park, Terry didn’t realize he was a very special number. And after his paper plate had been ﬁlled with a piping hot, king-sized serving of vegetarian, lazy cabbage roll, it was announced, Terry’s lunch was the 4,000th of its kind. To mark the occasion, a smiling Terry was given a bag of chocolate coins to ﬁnish off his free, weekly hot meal. It was all courtesy of a special group who, every Friday for more than two years, have been giving up their time to make, pack and serve a hot lunch to Richmond’s homeless, marginalized and at-risk population. Individually, they are known as formerly homeless, retired or community workers. Collectively, they are referred to as “Team Friday,” a merry band of volunteers from St. Alban’s church’s outreach program. “We’ve been doing this for about two years, ever since the drop-in centre closed at St. Alban’s. We’ve not missed one Friday,” said Dianne Woodhouse, who co-ordinates the efforts through the outreach program. “That’s when the church volunteers said, ‘we

“The coffee time is a good time to chat to the people who come along for lunch. A time to ﬁnd out how they are and if we can help. We then serve lunch at noon. We see around 30 to 35 (people) every week.”

Team Friday, led by Dianne Woodhouse (front), prepares to serve up its 4,000th free lunch in the park to the city’s homeless, marginalized and at-risk population. (Above, right) Terry gets some chocolate coins for being the 4,000th recipient Alan Campbell photo can’t give this up.’ That’s when we stepped in. Team Friday is an amazing group. Some are from different churches, some are former homeless people now giving back.” Woodhouse said fundraising and donations pay for the lunches, made from scratch by a volunteer chef, who cooks it up at the church

kitchen and at her house. “We have 15 volunteers in Team Friday and we need all of them contributing for it to work,” added Woodhouse. “It starts every Friday morning and, at 11:30 a.m., we set off from the church with a coffee run to the location.

Nodding in the lunch room towards one of the grateful lunch recipients, Woodhouse said the elderly lady in question has no relatives around and lives by herself. “She stays around and helps to clean up and has a take-out meal at the end,” she said. “We get the odd new person. Hugh (outreach worker) sends people our way to come have lunch with us and to ‘talk to Dianne.’ “That’s why we’re here...to connect them with others who can help.” Anyone wanting to help, can contact Woodhouse at Woodhouse.Dianne@gmail.com.

Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

With acts as simple as sharing extra bananas, splitting a Costco-sized portion of groceries or collecting unused canned goods, a Richmond Facebook group is aiming to combat hunger in the community.

The Facebook group stipulates that all members take and consume food at their own risk.

Richmond Food Helps, a closed Facebook group, has a simple mantra: “times are tough for everybody...be kind and generous to your neighbour.”

Members who may not feel comfortable posting their need are encouraged to send a private message.

Launched last fall, the group now has more than 200 members who simply post when they have excess food to offer, and others comment on where and when they could pick up the item.

LA TOYA BARRINGTON

“The (people) that private message me are very grateful,” Barrington said.

“Everybody’s struggling in their own way,” La Toya Barrington, who started the Facebook group, told the Richmond News.

“A lot of them I know personally, so I know they’re struggling and it’s just a good feeling to be able to help.” Barrington said some restaurants have even partnered with her to reduce their food waste, but have chosen to remain anonymous.

“I’ve been there…so it’s just a way to try and help and give back to the community and allow others to give back to the community in their own way.” For Barrington, a Richmond resident and owner of cleaning company Go2Girl, Richmond’s charitable food services, such as food banks or free community meals, are not always accessible to those in need.

“The hours available offered to access these food services don’t really work for a lot of people,” she said, citing narrow opening times, midday business hours or out-of-the-way locations as being especially problematic.

In the Facebook group right now, Barrington said she sees a lot of canned goods being given away.

“A lot of restaurants have so much food waste and it kills me that a lot of stuff that can be given just gets thrown out for liability reasons,” she said. “Instead of throwing out food, I thought that it would be better for more people just to post it on (the Facebook group) to give it away to other people.” Looking ahead, Barrington said she hopes more people get involved in the group. “It takes a village,” she said. “Even the tiniest bit helps.”

Indigenous woman-owned airline launches Richmond Coun. Linda MacPhail attended the launch at YVR and said she was “so intrigued” by Iskwew Air.

Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“It’s not like any other airline that I’ve read about,” she said.

Coinciding with International Women’s Day, Canada’s ﬁrst Indigenous woman-owned airline launched out of Vancouver International Airport in Richmond last Friday.

“From a tourism point of view, their focus on nature and Indigenous tourism is fascinating. I think that’s really where the future is.” While the airline only has one twin-engine aircraft so far, Iskwew Air will begin offering chartered services in the next few weeks and has partnered with Indigenous tourism operators to schedule joint tours.

Called Iskwew Air — which is a Cree word for “woman” — the airline plans to provide scheduled and charter service to remote communities across the province in an effort to boost accessibility and Indigenous tourism.

For Fraser, intentionally harnessing the power of women and the Indigenous community will only beneﬁt the aviation industry.

“I chose that name very mindfully as an act of reclamation. Reclamation of womanhood, reclamation of matriarchal leadership and reclamation of language,” Fraser said. “Iskwew Air is for everyone…we support and encourage and champion all women, all those identifying as women, but also all of those who are supporting women.” According to Fraser, less than six per cent of pilots in Canada are women. Fraser herself is an experienced pilot and leader in B.C.’s aviation industry and hopes to provide mentorship to other female pilots.

Iskwew Air CEO Teara Fraser (third from right) was at Vancouver International Airport on Friday for the airline’s ofﬁcial launch. Alyse Kotyk photo “We need to do better. I need to do better. We need to respect and lift up all of those identifying as women,” she said.

“As a Metis woman, as a leader, as a mother, as a daughter, as a pilot, Iskwew Air is just one way that I can do better.”

“Including and amplifying the diverse, important, talented and much-needed voices in aviation, we can see a future of innovation, of abundance and of economic prosperity,” she said. “With this, I feel great hope that with continued strong leadership from our partners who are championing women, such as YVR, the aviation industry will be stronger, more diverse and more inclusive.”

Ikea creates jobs Local builders nominated for refugees for top industry Awards AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

As part of a three-year partnership, Ikea Richmond is teaming up with SUCCESS to create new job opportunities for refugees. Announced in February, Ikea Canada is aiming to hire 250 refugees over the next three years in this coast-to-coast program. The furniture giant’s Richmond store is one of 17 Canadian locations participating in the program, and has partnered with SUCCESS, which is a social services organization with ofﬁces in Richmond. “We’re very pleased to be part of the successful proponents selected by Ikea Canada,” Queenie Choo, CEO of SUCCESS told the

“Our ultimate goal is to help people seek employment, to help them to integrate into our community.” While Choo says she’s unsure of how many refugees will be hired at the Richmond location, SUCCESS will work with them on resumé skills, interviews, prescreening and post-hiring support such as language training and long-term employment counselling. SUCCESS has partnered with other local businesses to provide similar opportunities such as at some London Drugs, Safeway and Save-On locations. For Choo, providing opportunities doesn’t just help support newcomers in B.C., but it stimulates the local economy as well.

Bodwell Developments was nominated for Best Custom Home: Over $3 Million, and Niebuhr Construction and Renovation was selected for the Best Interior Design Custom Residence: New or Renovated category.

Bodwell Developments’ project was nominated for Best Custom Home: Over $3 Million. “It helps distinguish winners as industry leaders, and it’s a nice way for builders to be recognized and for consumers to ﬁnd them.”

“This is a major housing award for Metro Vancouver,” said Dawn Sondergaard, senior director of marketing and communication for NAVAN.

There were a record 400 entries this year for the awards and 162 ﬁnalists were selected across 48 categories. Winners will be announced on May 4 at a gala in Vancouver.

Mandarin tourist guide program in high demand DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The tense Chinese-Canadian relationship has not tempered people’s passion to enter the tourism industry that caters specifically to Chinese tourists. The third annual Mandarin-speaking tourist guide training camp, hosted by non-profit Canadian Inbound Tourism Association of Asia Pacific (CITAP) in Richmond, has 40 students this year – the most CITAP’s history. Students will receive a certificate after the three-week program and seek job opportunities in local travel agencies afterwards, according to David Lin, board chair of CITAP and owner of Richmond’s GS Travel. “With more and more Chinese tourists coming to Canada — there were almost 700,000 last year — there is a big demand for tourist guides who can speak Chinese,” said Lin.

He noted that Canada is competing with the U.S., Europe, Australia and other places on attracting tourists and partly due to high hotel cost, Canada is often not the top on the list. Apart from Chinese tourists, he has also seen an increased demand from tourists from other Asian countries such as Vietnam and The Philippines.

First Chinese-Canadian air force recruit dies Wong, who called Richmond home for most of his life, recalled feeling “real good,” at the time, despite being sent packing earlier due to his Asian heritage.

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“They asked if I wanted to be air crew or ground crew. My heart was strictly in ﬂying and also, this would be a chance to help bomb the Japanese; so I was well motivated,” he said at the time, when asked how he felt about only being called up due to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

One of Richmond’s most celebrated war veterans, Tommy Wong, has died, age 101. Richmond resident Wong, who was the ﬁrst person of Chinese-Canadian ethnicity in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), passed away Sunday at Richmond Hospital. His close friend and fellow RCAF veteran, Richmond’s George Ing, said Canadian-born Wong was a quiet, intelligent and private man, but who also had a “zest for life.”

Wong graduated ﬁrst class in his training and was then sent to an air base in Calgary, where he spent a further year learning his new trade and quickly rose through the ranks to sergeant and then to an inspector in the Aeronautical Inspection Detachment (AID).

“He was very, very proud of his military service,” said Ing, a member with Wong of the Chinese-Canadian veteran group Paciﬁc Unit 280, on Tuesday.

While training as an aircraft inspector, Wong made sure the likes of Kittyhawk and Spitfire fighter planes and Lancaster bombers were 100 per cent ready to fly.

In 2017, Wong was one of ﬁve Chinese-Canadian veterans granted “The Glory of Chinese” award by the Richmondbased Canadian Community Service Association (CCSA), in recognition of their contribution towards winning full citizenship for all Chinese-Canadians.

Wong spent a chunk of the war stationed in Vancouver and eventually married his now late wife, Juney Lim, before opening a woodwork shop inside a theatre in the city’s Chinatown.

To mark Remembrance Day in 2016, the Richmond News featured Wong and told the story of how he put a lifetime of discrimination aside to serve Canada in its hour of need during the Second World War. Prior to enlisting, the Victoria native and building contractor had been rejected by the RCAF on the basis of his ethnicity six days after the war started in 1939. Other divisions of the Canadian armed forces, such as the army, had allowed citizens of Chinese ethnicity, but not the

Longtime Richmond resident Tommy Wong put a lifetime of discrimination aside to serve Canada in its hour of need. Alan Campbell photo air force, which is where Wong’s heart lay. However, more than two years later, on the fateful day of Dec. 7, 1941, when the Japanese decided to attack Pearl Harbor, his life changed forever. Wong received a letter from the very same recruiting ofﬁce which had snubbed his offer of help two years previous, requesting his presence in Vancouver as soon as possible. “(The RCAF), all of a sudden, wanted me,” a smiling Wong told the News in 2016.

As a result of their sacriﬁce in the Second World War, Chinese-Canadians were ﬁnally able to claim the opportunities and rights afforded other Canadians. They were offered citizenship and the right to vote. Those privileges led, in turn, to membership in professional societies such as law, engineering and medicine — important careers previously closed to Asians. Wong, who lived in a condo on Minoru Boulevard, is survived by his second wife, a sister and four children. Details of a memorial service in his honour are still to be released.

Ravens reached LEC’s bright lights Senior boys basketball team ﬁnishes fourth in provincial tournament debut Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Their season concluded where every boys high school basketball team in BC hopes to be on the final day — standing on the arena bowl floor at the Langley Events Centre. The MacNeill Ravens wrapped up a most-memorable four month journey by falling 75-54 to the Duchess Park Condors in the third place game at the BC AAA Championships. The result came on the heels of a semi-final loss to the Vernon Panthers but really the Ravens were playing with “house money” on the final two days of a tournament they had never been to. This is a team that began the season just hoping to make its first-ever appearance in the Lower Mainland AAA Tournament. Instead, the Ravens evolved into a fixture in the top 10 provincial rankings with a very bright future ahead of them. Usman Tsung was among a group of Grade 12s that didn’t even get to taste the city playoffs a year ago. He finished this campaign as one of the most prolific scorers in the province — adding a BC Second Team All-Star Team selection to his earlier Richmond MVP award. The Ravens were simply in tough against a No. 2 ranked Vernon squad that played a physical and athletic style that is nowhere to be found in Richmond or even the Lower Mainland zone for that matter. The Panthers went on to lose a 46-44 heartbreaker to North Delta

in the provincial final and undoubtedly will be the team to beat next season with just one graduating player. Always looking ahead, the MacNeill coaching staff treated the 89-65 semi-final defeat as a lesson learned. “With the (12) returning guys we talked about getting tougher and getting into the weight room. Again, it’s just a great experience for us,” said Ravens’ head coach Steward Siy who has done a wonderful job building this program through the years with Peter Thackwray and Landon Dy. “We want to come back here and now we know what we can expect. This should inspire them for the off-season.” The Ravens were actually closer to the Panthers than the 24-point final margin suggests. They were within nine at the half (38-29) and closed the deficit to 10 on a steal and lay-up by Tung with just over eight minutes remaining. That’s when the Panthers pulled away thanks mainly to their dominant inside game.

The highlight of the championships was a come-from-behind 7868 win over Argyle that secured a top four ﬁnish.

Championships and it continued on at the LEC.

Tung led the way with a spectacular 30-point performance on 11-of22 shooting. He was at his best in the second and third quarters as the Ravens erased a 20-11 deﬁcit after one and took a a 52-47 lead into the ﬁnal 10 minutes.

“When you get blown out in the city ﬁnal there is nothing to lose anymore,” said Tung. “We have been at our lowest and now we are just looking up and hoping to do better. Today was a great team win.”

It was back on Feb. 15 when Ravens suffered a 32-point loss to Richmond High in the city ﬁnal. They responded with a second place ﬁnish at the Lower Mainland

Sky Tan also had a big part in the MacNeill comeback too as he heated up from the perimeter to hit ﬁve three-pointers with much of his damage done in the second half.

The Ravens ﬁnished the Argyle game with two Grade 12s (Tung and Tan), a Grade 11 (Hudson Swaim), a Grade 10 (Jackson Thackwray) and a Grade 9 (Everett) on the ﬂoor. “Everyone has bought into our program, from Grade 8 to Grade 12, even our coaching staff,” said assistant coach Landon Dy. “I remember graduating from this school 10 years ago and we couldn’t even make to the Lower Mainlands and here we are.”

Additional Ravens hardware included being named the tournament’s most sportsmanlike team. At the buzzer… The Steveston-London Sharks closed out their terriﬁc campaign with a 69-64 loss to Fraser Valley champion Pitt Meadows. The Sharks went 1-3 at the championships but their appearance was a major accomplishment in itself after ﬁnishing fourth in regular season city play then surging in the Lower Mainland playoffs.

Richmond blueliner helps Canada capture silver at Winter Universiade games — recording six goals and 23 assists.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

A Jodi Gentile has helped the Canadian women’s hockey team capture silver at the 29th Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Canada dropped a 2-0 decision to the host nation in Monday’s gold medal game. Russia broke a scoreless deadlock with a power play goal near the midway mark of the third period then added an empty netter in the ﬁnal seconds.

Jodi Gentile wrapped up her university hockey career Monday by winning silver for Canada at the 29th Winter Universiade in Russia.

A 5-1 win over Japan on Sunday moved the Canadians into the final after going 4-1-0 in preliminary play. Russia finished the tournament with a perfect 7-0 record. Gentile just wrapped up her fifth and final season at the University of Lethbridge where she suited up in 136

Longhorns’ teammate Tricia Van Vaerenbergh was also a member of the 22-player Canadian squad. “I am extremely honoured and excited to be selected to the team, and am looking forward to this experience,” said Gentile prior to her departure to Russia. “Playing alongside and against some of the top female players in the heart of Russia is never anything I imagined I would be doing, yet is soon to be a reality. “I cannot have pictured a better way to end my U SPORTS career than representing the Pronghorns, USPORT, and Canada playing in the Winter Universiade. This is deﬁnitely an exciting opportunity and one I will remember for the rest of my life.” Gentile grew up playing for Richmond Minor and the Richmond Ravens before a stint in the B.C. Female Midget AAA Hockey League with the Fraser Valley Phantom. The McNair mini-school graduate was a member of the provincial U16 and U18 teams.

City standouts lead Falcons into CCAA Championships They were two of the biggest stars in the Richmond Senior Boys Basketball League that are now looking for more magic at the Langley Events Centre.

ing 24 points per game. Sargeant’s all-round game has been on full display. He ranked in the top 10 in points (16), rebounds (eight) and assists (5.67).

Antonio Jhuty was a scoring machine at RC Palmer — capping his high school career back in 2014 by leading the Grifﬁns to their eight consecutive city championship and a fourth place ﬁnish at the BC 2A tournament where he was a First Team All-Star selection.

The Falcons practiced at the LEC for the ﬁrst time last week in preparation for tonight’s quarter-ﬁnal match-up with Atlantic champion and No. 1 ranked Holland Hurricanes at 7:30 p.m.

Royce Sargeant led the McNair Marlins on a late season charge to a berth into the B.C 3A Championships that year. Numerous clutch performances earned him the city MVP award. “They were known as the McRoyce Marlins back then,” laughed Jhuty. The pair now have leading roles with the Langara Falcons who host this week’s Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Championships at the LEC. Langara standouts Antonio Jhutty and Royce Sargeant lead their team into this week’s Canadian Championships.

Jhuty has continued his highscoring ways, ranking third in the PACWEST Conference by averag-

Langara ﬁnished 9-9 in conference play and was edged by Camosun in the opening round of the provincial playoffs. That meant a tough draw for the hosts in the eight tournament. “I have very good memories here and it’s good to be back,” said Jhuty who scored 49 in his ﬁnal high school game at the LEC. “We wanted to go far in the provincial playoffs because of the national seeding but it is what it is.” Sargeant doesn’t have such fond memories of the LEC. The Marlins led their opening round game against Wellington by 15 at the half but lost to the Nanaimo school and

eventually placed 14th. Still, the talented guard has gone on to post impressive numbers at the next level. “The pace of the game is fine for me at this level because I like to play fast,” he said. “Adjusting to the strength of the players you are up against has been the biggest thing.” There is more Richmond flavour to Falcons including head coach Paul Eberhardt who enjoyed plenty of success at the high school level at Palmer and McNair. Timmie Choi is another Palmer grad on the roster while Joey Dhillon (Palmer) and Elliot Mason (Burnett) are part of Eberhardt’s staff. It definitely provides a comfort zone for Jhuty who initially began his post-secondary career at the University of the Fraser Valley before being re-united with Eberhardt. He still has another year of eligibility remaining, while Sargeant is just in his second season with the team. “He is my guy,” said Jhuty of his coach. “He is always in my corner and I am definitely in his.”

McMath Wildcats dominated from start to ﬁnish at the B.C. Grade 9 Girls Invitational Championships, rolling to four straight double-digit wins, including a 49-25 triumph in the title game.

Wildcats are Grade 9 BC champs McMath Wildcats capped a dominating season in grand style by capturing the Grade 9 Provincial Invitational Girls Basketball Championships on the weekend at Heritage Woods Secondary in Port Moody. The Wildcats produced four straight impressive wins at the 16-team tournament — capped by a 49-25 triumph over Abbotsford Traditional in Saturday’s championship game. It marks the second straight year a city team has won this event with Steveston-London taking top honours in 2018. McMath showed why it was given the No. 1 seed with a 50-18 win over Chilliwack’s GW Graham in the tournament opener as Kiayra Hohlweg earned player-of-the-game honours. Next was a 50-18 romp of Abbotsford’s Robert Bateman in the quarter-ﬁnals with

Teagan Ng getting the player-of-the-game award.

Boyd to avenge an earlier league loss.

The Wildcats’ biggest challenge of the week still produced a 46-30 semi-ﬁnal win against Maple Ridge — led by Holweg earning her second player-of-the-game award.

The girls then dominated the Vancouver and District Championships, capping a three-game run with a 55-31 win over North Shore champion Seycove. No team was within 19 points of them.

Tamar Gordon was a major force in the ﬁnal — not only earning player-of-the-game honours but securing the tournament MVP award as well. Holweg and Ng were named First Team All-Stars.

The Wildcats also captured the Burnaby Central Grade 9 Tournament back in late January, defeating Boyd 5326 in the ﬁnal.

Coached by Rod Jensen, Sean Lawson and Jayna Wilson, the Wildcats entered the season with high expectations after ﬁnishing third at the Grade 8 Provincials a year earlier. The lone defeat was by a single point to York House in the semi-ﬁnals. McMath’s road to Port Moody began by capturing the Richmond Championship with a 36-28 win over Hugh

The roster also features: Emma Bradley-Tse, Andreas Chan, Carys Jensen, Jaya

At the buzzer… Boyd wrapped up its impressive campaign with a ninth place ﬁnish at provincials. A narrow opening round loss to Bateman (2925) was followed by wins over GW Grahan (57-30), city rival RC Palmer (49-27) and Burnaby Mountain (5145). Palmer ﬁnished 12th.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The 5G Dilemma

We all knew that at some point the white-hot real estate market would slow, even decline. The latest data suggests the Metro Vancouver housing market will be mired in difficulties this year and perhaps even next. But there are clear strategies to not only survive the slump but benefit from it. Our expert panel will guide you on where the opportunities are, where they aren’t, and how your investment plan can make the most of the challenging times.

In the next year Canada will introduce 5G, the next generation of cellular mobile communications to vastly improve data usage, save energy, reduce costs, and enable businesses and consumers massive connectivity. But the country is embroiled in a debate on who should provide the technology, what national security considerations are necessary, and how Canada can ensure it does not lose pace with the rest of the world. Our panel discussion investigates the issues.
