Virus causing rash of racism Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
On Monday, one of our co-workers came into the office visibly shaken. She told us how the day before she’d been with her family waiting for a table at a restaurant when an elderly woman looked straight at her husband and said, “Go back to China.” He responded, “What did you just say?”

The woman looked away. Their daughter caught the intensity in his voice and asked what happened. He repeated it and immediately a man walked over to say, “if she responds, I’ll deal with it.” He was there with his young son and added, “this is not what we want to teach our children.” My friend quickly told her husband, and the rest of the family, “let’s go with compassion.” The following day, their daughter phoned the restaurant and spoke to the manager, who then called her father and apologized profusely, saying had she known, it would have been dealt with then and there.

We hear about these kinds of racist barbs all the time, but in the 30 years this couple has lived in Canada, they had actually never experienced anything like it, and it shook them. But what shook me was that it was only after our co-worker told her story that our reporter began talking about something that had happened to her a week earlier. She was standing outside Lansdowne Centre when a young man walked by and said, “you dropped something.” She looked down, but when she looked back up, he said, “you dropped your disease” (a take on the video of a man in Burnaby telling an Asian woman,“ you dropped your coronavirus.”) I asked her why she didn’t tell me at the time. She said she didn’t tell anyone, not even her boyfriend, because she was too upset — and ashamed. Ouch. Obviously, she’s not the one who should feel shame but bullying (and we’re on heels of Pink Shirt Day) is about making the victim feel powerless or weak. And who feels good about being powerless and weak? The fact both of these women had never before experienced the direct punch of racism is a good thing. But the fact both experienced it in just the past couple of weeks is worrisome.

We have a story online in which a UBC professor talks about the long and sordid history of disease and racism. It seems humanity has a bad habit of blaming the people (and anyone who looks like them) from where the virus originated. It’s ridiculous and it’s wrong, and it’s wrong not just because it’s mean and nasty, but also because it distracts us from the underlying issues that lead to plagues and so-called “natural” disasters, issues such as power, politics and poverty. It also distracts us from what we need to do which, in this case, is build a robust global health network that recognizes viruses don’t respect borders. But back to the man in the restaurant who stepped up to say something about what we teach our kids — in other words, the bystander. Because, frankly, that’s what most of us are most of the time. In the moment, it rarely feels like a position of power, but, to hear the experts tell it, that’s exactly what it is. Be it against a racist barb or global inequality, it’s the bystanders who determine if a line in the sand will be drawn. As this outbreak unfolds, more racist barbs will be slung, but I’m also betting so will more man-in-the-restaurant examples. After all, what do we want to teach our kids?

Loft repairs illogical Mourn loft loss, then move on No, we are going to spend this exorbitant amount for a building that will be new and look totally out of place, and sit virtually empty 80 per cent of the year.
Dear Editor,
Re: “$19M to rebuild Net Loft,” News, Feb. 20. Having read with jaw-dropping disbelief that Richmond City Council has approved spending $19 million to remove and reconstruct the Net Loft building in Steveston, it just drives home that our city planners and council have little grasp on the value of a dollar. It’s like kids guarding the candy jar.
And whilst reading on in the paper, council members are off to our sister city in Quebec this summer to open a garden to the tune of $17,000, and Harold Steves and friends are once again off to Japan to secure the visit of a Japanese tall ship. These little trips will be costing the taxpayers nearly $60,000. Here’s just one thought, save a little money — fly economy class, just like the people who pay your salaries do.
Regarding talk of making a museum..... you do not place a museum on pilings over water. The humidity and dampness will destroy everything over time. This project should have been put out for public discussion and opinion. Besides, the existing buildings at Britannia, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and the little museum in Steveston tell the story of this area very well.

Dear Editor,
Re: “$19M to rebuild Net Loft,” News, Feb. 20. The loss of the Phoenix Gill Net Loft, as a result of irreparable decay, upsets me. As a life-long British Columbian, I have witnessed the end of many historic icons I held dear to my heart. I remember the tail end in history of the elegant Canadian Pacific fleet of “pocket ocean liners” that used to grace our coastline, moving people in a civilized kind of luxury that no longer exists. Those much older than me may recall a night trip from Vancouver Harbour to Victoria Harbour, with fine dining, linen tablecloths, silverware, neatly dressed waiters in ties and jackets, and, of course, a good sleep in a state room with finishes that would rival any high-end hotel. By the early ‘70s, the automobile had taken over, and the car ferry prevailed, while these ships ran empty, rusting, and demanding ever more maintenance. Their days were over. No one stepped up to pay for the preservation of these beautiful symbols of a bygone era. These ships were mostly sold cheap, seeing the indignant fate as a coal barge or a dirty, unpainted freighter in a distant country or, and eventually, scrap. Today, all that remains are fading photographs.
FRESH TASTE starting at HAPPY HOUSE FRESH TASTE MEATS
I humbly advise our city councillors to mourn our losses, much in the same manner that we mourn a loss in our own family, and then move on. I also advise that we cannot resurrect the dead with a not-so-cheap, Disneyesque, Las Vegas-style replica. Any rebuilt version of the the Phoenix Gill Net Loft will stink of some kind municipal insecurity disorder. Let us learn our lesson from the multi-million dollar Richmond Olympic Experience, a pathetic, and slightly embarrassing attempt to hang on to past glory. If the City of Richmond has $19 million to play with, it should invest in under-built and/ or deteriorating infrastructure we need in our day-to-day lives. A city government with prudent spending priorities, in the present, will help us all build on a proud, prosperous and authentic legacy.

In this of the Phoenix net shed, I particularly lament the loss of this great and noble part of Richmond’s history. When this structure comes down, the walls that contained the ever-fading echos of the hard work of its workers will be lost forever.

Net loft part of heritage plan Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
The vision of a museum precinct in Steveston was narrowly supported by Richmond council on Monday evening. Coun. Harold Steves suggested, with the Phoenix Net Loft deteriorating and in need of repairs, that it be rebuilt and dedicated as a “museumstyle interpretive centre” that would become the centrepiece of several historical buildings in Steveston. He called the current setup a “dysfunctional waterfront.” “What we need is a museum that will hold the whole waterfront … together,” Steves said. But one Steveston resident is aghast at the cost of $19 million to fix up an old building. Roidon Lamb would rather see the waterfront opened up and the money put into fixing aging infrastructure or social programs like eldercare. “I find the cost prohibitive,” Lamb said. “$19 million to build a big barn?”
City of Richmond
She suggested if the waterfront were opened up, it could have a walkway with a view of Shady Island. Lamb added she can’t see how a new building will look “stuffed among old buildings” on the waterfront. Voting against the museum idea for the Phoenix Net Loft at council were Couns. Linda McPhail, Alexa Loo, Bill McNulty and Mayor Malcolm Brodie. McPhail suggested waiting until reports about programming and an interpretive centre, expected later this year, come back before a final decision is made. She also argued for having public consultation on options for the space before moving forward. McPhail said it’s “ironic” that there is talk of being open and transparent, but then no public consultation on this project is contemplated. “We need to hear from the public — this is a lot of money,” she added. Brodie questioned why this project needed to be pushed forward now. While he said he’s not against a museum, more information is coming back on options for the net loft.
Jet fuel pipeline
“Why are we afraid of getting more information?” Brodie said. Steves’ suggestion was for a museum complex that includes the Seine Net Loft, Britannia Shipyards, the First Nations Long House, the Richmond Boatworks, the Chinese Bunkhouse and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery. All these pieces together would be more than 60,000 square feet, which was originally proposed as the size needed for a destination museum for Richmond. The Phoenix Net Loft would then be the “heart” of this museum complex — Steves said it could be one of the “best open air museum sites in Canada.” “We should use the building for a Richmond museum and we should say that clearly tonight,” he said at Monday’s council meeting. The building, next to the Seine Net Loft, has deteriorated to the point where it was in danger of collapsing during repairs. The cost of rebuilding the Phoenix Net Loft will be $19.44 million, and this will create a replica of the building using as many salvaged pieces as possible.

The YVR jet fuel pipeline, opposed by many Richmond residents and municipal politicians, is finally being laid. During construction, traffic will be blocked from Feb. 18 to April 30 on St. Edwards Drive between Bridgeport and Cambie roads. The pipeline will run from the south arm of the Fraser River and head north along Highway 99 and then west to the airport. Photo submitted

City sued over delays in pool construction Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
The company that built the Minoru Centre for Active Living is claiming the City of Richmond was at fault for an almost two-year delay in construction and is suing the city for $7.04 million. Stuart Olson launched a civil suit against the city on Feb. 10, claiming it caused delays by providing late, “error-filled and incomplete” designs, as well as making changes beyond what was reasonable. Furthermore, it claims the city and its consultants didn’t adequately coordinate the design and managed communications poorly. The design “delays, deficiencies, errors, omissions and changes” resulted in delays to procurement and
the progress of the work; furthermore, this was done without regard for Stuart Olson’s project work plan and schedule, the suit claims.
the lawsuit that the delays have resulted in numerous lawsuits against it by subcontractors, for which it claims the city is liable.
The claim continues that the project design “greatly changed” which resulted in “cumulative impacts and cascading delays.”
Stuart Olson is seeking compensation for, among other things, its “time and effort,” the increased scope of the work, the extended duration of the project and lost productivity.
The seniors centre at the Minoru Centre for Active Living opened last March after several delays, but the aquatic centre portion remained closed because of a crack in one of the lap pools.
Specifically, the company is demanding $2 million in holdback funds, $438,000 in unpaid changes and $4.58 million for breach of contract and negligence.
Stuart Olson claims the failure of the lap pool was also a result of the city’s negligence.
The project, which the city claims was on budget, cost taxpayers $80 million. The city has not responded to the suit and none of the claims have been proven in court. The city will not comment on the matter as it is before the courts, said city spokesperson Clay Adams.
However, the insurance company of Stuart Olson was ordered to pay for the repairs to the pool, which are currently underway. The company explains in

Railway Avenue was closed Saturday evening.
Richmond RCMP is investigating two pedestrian collisions at almost the exact same location on Saturday just two hours apart. The Mounties are asking drivers to check their dashcams after a 45-year-old man was struck by a dark SUV on Railway Avenue, just south of Granville Avenue, around 6 p.m.
Very close by, about two hours later, an elderly man was struck by a vehicle. That man is expected to survive.
The pedestrian sustained serious injuries and was rushed to hospital where he underwent emergency surgery.
Police said on the weekend it was too early to determine whether charges will be filed against the driver.
The driver, a 49-year-old woman from Richmond, remained on scene and has been cooperative with police.

Money-laundering inquiry: Local police don’t have the resources, says city Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Luxury vehicle resales play a significant part in international money laundering. Photo by Tyler Nyquvest/Business In Vancouver File
Local police don’t have the resources to investigate money laundering, so there should be more done at the provincial and federal levels — this is part of the feedback Richmond city staff has compiled to send to the province. The province asked municipalities to give feedback on two initiatives it’s launching to fight money laundering, firstly, the creation of a publicly searchable central registry of beneficial ownership — showing who really owns properties and not just the “nominal” owner — and modernization of mortgage broker regulations. Richmond city council will look at the feedback at Monday’s committee meeting. The public beneficial ownership registry might help local Mounties find “more investigative leads” into money laundering. But this would then require provincial and federal law enforcement to continue the investigation as “there is neither the capacity nor mandate to conduct these major investigations at the Municipal level alone,” the report notes. In addition to the ownership registry, the city is asking for a searchable registry of corporations, trusts and partnerships registered in B.C. The city also states it’s “vital” the province modernize the Mortgage
Broker Act, because of the increase in private lending practises. Furthermore, there should be more regulation of luxury car sales and leasing because this, too, was identified by former Mountie Peter German in a report last year as a target for money laundering. Inquiry into money laundering
A public inquiry into money laundering got underway on Monday with participants including Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, which owns and operate River Rock Casino. The consequences of money laundering in B.C. are “serious and ongoing,” said Attorney-General David Eby in a press conference to launch the inquiry. These include the overdose crisis — the province reported on Monday about three people died every day last year from an overdose - and an unaffordable real estate market. The focus will be to figure out how money laundering was allowed to

happen — whether it was willful blindness, negligence or corruption — who is laundering money and how big the issue is. The focus at the inquiry on Tuesday was partly on the grey market of illegal luxury car exports and how money is laundered through luxury car sales, including opening remarks from a BMW representative. Aside from the illegal exporting aspect, the luxury car reselling sector is also prime territory for money launderers due to the lack of transaction oversight, according to German. One of German’s key findings was that luxury car dealers are not required to file suspicious transactions of over $10,000 cash with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada. “There’s no visibility at the point of sale,” said German. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to launder money. —With files from Graeme Wood/ Glacier Syndicated

Leaseholders find advocate Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Henry Yao was shocked after seeing dozens of Richmondites trapped in the same tough situation that his friends had been in 20 years earlier. The Richmond News published an article on Dec. 20, titled “Richmond condo leaseholders forced to pay $40,000 each for renos.” The renovation bill was causing panic among seniors and lower-income families who live at the 6420 Buswell St. complex. “When I read the article, I was thinking, are you kidding me? Shouldn’t the government have already stepped in and brought a new law to protect leaseholders?” said Yao, a community advocate who
started an online petition to force the provincial government to enact laws for leaseholders. Yao, who lives in Richmond, said the petition rose out of frustration that nothing has been done over the years to help people who can’t keep up with the skyrocketing local housing market and choose a more affordable way to live. One of Yao’s close friends bought a Richmond leasehold property in 2000, but four years later was slapped with a $40,000 bill — something most local families aren’t able to afford, said Yao.
Yao’s online petition, called Left Stranded: Time for a Law to Protect Leaseholders, can be found at change.org. More online at Richmond-News.com Sam McCulligh is organizing an event to remember people killed by caregivers. Maria Rantanen photo

Every year the list just gets longer — starting in 2012 at the Disability Day of Mourning, the names of people with disabilities who have been killed by loved ones were all read out. Finally, organizers of the vigil decided they would only read out the names of Canadian victims, because the list was just too long. Richmondite Sam McCulligh, who is autistic and has been helping organize the local event — held annually in Burnaby — since 2016, wants to see more acceptance of people with disabilities and less stigma so that disabled lives are seen as worth living.
“I’m sure that list will be even longer next year,” McCulligh said. “I wish it could stop growing.” One of the best known cases was the death of Tracy Latimer, a 13-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and seizures, who was killed by her father Robert Latimer by carbon monoxide poisoning. At the time, there was a lot of empathy for the father. The event is usually fairly solemn, McCulligh said. “It’s always good to see people are willing to come together to remember the people we’ve lost,” he said. The Disability Day of Mourning vigil takes place on March 1, 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Burnaby Neighbourhood House, 5024 Rumble St. More online at Richmond-News.com

CORONAVIRUS LATEST at Richmond-News.com
Coronavirus: Cases rise to seven Health authorities defend privacy policy on location of COVID-19 patients Privacy policy defended B.C.’s health authorities have defended their protection of people’s privacy when it comes to revealing details of coronavirus cases.
Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
It was revealed last week that the province’s sixth case of the virus (COVID-19) was a woman from the Fraser Health region, who had recently returned from Iran.
A seventh case of coronavirus (COVID-19) has been announced in B.C. B.C.’s top medical health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, said Monday the new case, a man in his 40s, was in close contact with the province’s sixth case revealed last week.
Fraser Health subsequently warned Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows schools of possible exposure last week, leading to people calling for more details of the location.
Henry said the latest case is a man in the Fraser Health region and he is in isolation at his home in that area.
B.C.’s top medical health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, was asked Tuesday morning at a media conference why it wasn’t possible to narrow down which schools in that region were affected.
“He had onset of symptoms prior to case six’s diagnosis,” added Henry. “There have been a number of close contacts (with case six) and they are also in isolation. They are all in stable condition and in isolation.” The sixth case was a woman in her 30s, who had recently travelled to Iran. The woman had flown from Iran to Montreal and then to Vancouver Feb. 14. Other passengers on the flight who sat near the woman, as well as flight crew, are being notified, according to the PHSA, which did not provide a flight number. The woman went to a local hospital with flu-like symptoms after returning to B.C., and is recovering in isolation at her home in the Fraser Health region. Henry said the health authorities in B.C. are getting prepared in case the World Health Organization (WHO) declares the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. “We’re not at that point yet where we don’t think (the disease) can be contained,” added Henry. “But we are preparing for the worst, as well.” By Wednesday, Iran had reported 139 cases of COVID-19 and 19 deaths, although some sources in the country claim the number of deaths to be more than 100. Globally, the virus has infected 81,294 people and killed 2,770, the vast majority of whom are in China, where the disease originated late last year.
Richmondite speaks out about Iran A member of Richmond’s Iranian community has said the COVID-19 situation in his homeland is much worse than is being reported. The man, who asked not to be named, said relatives back home believe the death toll from the virus (COVID-19) in Iran to be more than 100, markedly more than the 19 being reported by the country’s government. Iran appeared on B.C.’s COVID-19 radar
“When you target one or two specific schools you make it easier to identify individuals,” said Henry. Richmond MLA Teresa Wat (right), pictured with Vancouver East MP Jenny Kwan, said she would urge the provincial government to take action to support local Chinese restaurants. (Story below.) Nono Shen photo last week after a woman in her 30s was confirmed as the province’s sixth case, after spending some time recently in Iran. “There are different groups giving out very different information,” said the Iranian Richmond resident, adding that some of the news is from relatives and some via social media. “We’re hearing stories of people getting refused entry to hospitals, being told they’re fine and then dying. “We’re being told that the Iranian government didn’t want to scare people and stop them from participating in the national elections last week.” Iran’s government rejected claims of a much higher death toll made by a lawmaker from
the city of Qom, Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani. The conflicting reports raised questions about the Iranian government’s transparency concerning the scale of the outbreak. The Richmond resident said that, because of all the conflicts in Iran, “they don’t have enough chemicals to sanitize the hospitals properly. Most of my close family still lives in Iran. They’re being told not to go to their places of worship.” Even with Iran’s lower official death toll of 19, the number of deaths compared to the number of confirmed infections from the virus is higher in Iran than in any other country, including China and South Korea, where the outbreak is far more widespread.
“We have processes in place to identify anyone who has been in contact (with confirmed cases) in those areas. “If we were not sure we had contacted everyone involved, we would then reach out (to the public).” Henry added that if people get targeted, then the likelihood of other suspected cases coming forward will plummet. She also explained that, during a measles outbreak, the need to alert the public is greater because that disease can hang around in the air and on surfaces for longer, thus potentially affecting more people. The Richmond News had asked previously why confirmed cases of the virus were not being narrowed down more that the Vancouver Coastal Health region, which includes Richmond.
MLA supports Chinese restaurant tax break Richmond MLA Teresa Wat has voiced support for the local Chinese restaurant industry’s appeal for a tax break amid the coronavirus outbreak. Last week, the Richmond News reported how members of the Canada Catering Association — which has 200 Chinese restaurants, many in Richmond — appealed to all three levels of government after being hit hard by fears over the spread of the virus (COVID-19). Wat joined association members Friday at a press conference to pledge her support for their bid to have a six-month tax exemption because their restaurants are unusually

quiet. Many Chinese restaurants in Richmond contribute significantly to the local economy, said Wat, adding that it’s unfortunate to see their sales drop as much as 80 per cent in recent weeks. “In response to the situation, I took the opportunity to make (a) statement in the legislature, outlining all challenges faced by the catering and food export industry.” However, some have question the move, given that many Chinese restaurants in Richmond accept cash only, giving rise to concerns that those business are not paying taxes anyway.
William Tse, a director from the catering association, took offense to the suggestion that businesses in his organization are avoiding taxes. He called the notion a “misconceptions,” adding that none of his organization’s members have a cash-only policy. “It might have been common 10 years ago that some Chinese restaurants only accepted cash, but that was due to technical issues, (and) a lot has changed over the past few years,” Tse said. “If business owners are being shady to avoid tax, the Canada Revenue Agency will be chasing after them.

Introduction For a variety of complex reasons, it is now harder than ever to save for retirement. To complicate it further, statistics show that we are living longer. Therefore, we have to save for a longer retirement. While this explains why many people have to work longer, and others are generally less likely to retire at all, the need is urgent in my view to get advice about your retirement as early as reasonably possible. Get a variety of financial advice, from different experts. There is a lot more than ever to take into account in planning for retirement. To plan for retirement, we need pension advice, tax advice, legal advice, investment advice and maybe even a little counselling. Not that it ends there. Perhaps the most significant social phenomenon of our era is “gray divorce”. It is not new but it is being written about more because it seems to be happening more often. The rate of divorce among persons age 50 and over has doubled in the last 25 years. The reasons for it are less important, I think, than how it affects families and the individuals involved. Initially When the decision is made to end a relationship at a more advanced age, the first consideration is where to live. That is important because it is expensive to buy or rent. In addition, if there are minor children involved, location of new homes will be significant as well. Also, it is worthwhile early on, to make a new Will and Power of Attorney. Revoking an existing Power of Attorney might be useful as well, if a new one is not wanted in the early going. Starting Over Financially, separation at a later age is a financial catastrophe. A recent article in a publication called InvestmentNews discusses some of the problems. For many persons, their financial position suffers dramatically and they will have to stay in their jobs longer or go back to work, given the costs of living alone. Add to this the increase in family conflicts. Relationships with children can deteriorate.
Members are encouraged to bring a personal container for take-away food from the cafeteria.
Catering and Rentals
Steps
Planning a meeting, reception or party? The cafeteria offers a selection of menus to meet a wide-range of culinary options and event budgets including baked goods to go! The Chef and kitchen team will customize a menu to make your next event memorable! For more information, contact Food Services and Catering at seniors@richmond.ca and room rentals at minorucentrerentals@richmond.ca.
Once living arrangements are resolved, persons should see a financial advisor, whether their Accountant, their Banker or broker. The first thing to evaluate is what are the assets the person has post-breakup. The second is what income the person has and what portion of it (if anything) has to go to the former spouse.
SHOPPING BUS SERVICE
Though it should be said that all of this takes time, as people adjust to their new situations, a plan will help in the adjustment process and will ease anxiety.
This service offers access to local shopping at reasonable rates with pick ups and drop offs at nine different independent seniors housing locations. Mondays ............. Lansdowne Mall ($2.00 per round trip) Walmart, Garden City ($2.00 per round trip) Thursdays..............Seafair Centre ($2.00 per round trip) Only purchases that can be carried are accepted as bus storage is limited.

Ripple effects of an older separation
Again, financially, there is no longer a second income, or a second CPP and OAS benefit. But expenses don’t reduce by half either. Telephone expenses, cable and other costs are now more formidable on a single income. Living standards drop. For many people, a break up in middle age becomes, financially, starting over.

Inheritances should be discussed early as well, as a potential source of new assets (and income). If there won’t be an inheritance, the next question becomes about the kind of work plans that ought to be made.
All the issues Here are the main issues facing separating couples, according to the surveys: - Retirement - Division of assets - Tax reform - Adult Children - Health care; - Estate Planning; - Competence Conclusions Statistics do indicate that we are living longer and the divorce rate among adults over 50 is rising. It is high already. Marital breakup is stressful and it impacts most every aspect of the couples’ lives, from choices of Executors, relations with children, and levels of income. It goes without saying that anyone considering a breakup should get some advice and be thoughtful before launching the ship. Whether a new relationship is on the horizon or single life lies ahead instead, it is essential to be informed.

CAROL’S STORY
“I enjoy life here at The Maples” her pictures you will see in our photo gallery.
Sechelt was home to Carol until she made the move to The Maples in 2012. “I like the village atmosphere and being so close to the water, the location is so easy for walking and there is lots to do, have a coffee, drop into the shops or browse around the heritage sites on my doorstep.” Carol is a photographer who enjoys capturing the scenery and wildlife in the area. Some of
There were many things that contributed to Carol’s move here to Steveston. “Having my family close by was most important, being able to walk into the village. I love the building, in fact I know the Architect. I have a beautiful corner suite with lots of windows that offers me views and lots of fresh air.” “I have made new friends and we enjoy lots of laughs.” Words of wisdom: Carol says “When moving into a new home like the Maples, be prepared to visit with people, take part in the activities and make friends.”

Disability group sharpens public education program Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
“We’ve watched people stand near the door and kind of stare in, wondering if they should come in or not.” The Richmond Centre for Disability’s (RCD) Dave Thomson said the non-profit has attracted a fair bit of attention since it moved into Lansdowne Shopping Centre last year. However, RCD is changing its public education sessions to cater to its shopping mall audience and the fast-paced lives people lead. RCD used to deliver monthly programming with day-long workshops that produced sparse attendances. Starting next week, they’re sharpening their delivery with “four focused weeks” throughout the year titled “Empowered Wellness.” “No workshop will be longer than 45 minutes and there will be little super sessions,” said Thomson, RCD’s community outreach coordinator. “We’re in a mall and people come for five or six things. We need to make sure we’re serving that crowd. Sitting for an hour and half (at a workshop) isn’t working anymore.

Soccer Sunday at Minoru
News launches Canucks blog RASA’s biggest day of the season with a tripleheader of games online today
A young and exciting Vancouver Canucks team is pushing towards its first trip to the Stanley Cup playoffs in five years and the Richmond News is jumping onboard the bandwagon with a popular new addition to our online content.
Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
It’s the biggest day of the season for the Richmond Adult Soccer Assocation.
Starting today, we are thrilled to welcome Pass it to Bullis — a blog loaded with Canucks coverage.
For the past few years, RASA has created a day to commemorate the league and its participants by showcasing some of its biggest games of the season at Minoru Park.
It was launched 10-years ago by Daniel Wagner.The blog grew in popularity and the Vancouver Sun picked it up, providing a part-time job to the prolific writer.
Super Sunday Soccer kicks off at 11 a.m. with the RASA All-Star Game. Nominees from each team in the First, Second and Masters Divisions play in a fun and talented filled match. At 1 p.m., it’s the RASA Don Taylor League Cup - where all teams were initially involved in a seeded single game knockout. The prize for winning includes a nice big trophy and an automatic berth into the Provincial “B” Cup.
The team was launched for players graduating from youth soccer that wanted to keep playing. When the trio couldn’t find a team, they formed their own club — hoping others wouldn’t have the same problem. Now the Graduates also feature teams in the Second and Masters Divisions. The Super Sunday Soccer action then concludes with the Masters
Graduates will be looking to defend their Don Taylor League Cup title as part of Richmond Adult Soccer Association’s Super Soccer Sunday at Minoru Park. Photo by Mark Booth Cup final at 3 p.m. It should be a heck of a battle between the top two teams in the regular season — the Richmond Old Blacks and Flying Beaver. A berth into the Masters Provincial Cup is also on the line. The Old Blacks won the season series 3-0 but two of results were by just one goal. Flying Beaver defeated its rival in the 2018 cup
final. That was only time the Old Blacks haven’t prevailed — a dominant run since the Master Division was created back in 2011. “This past season was the most competitive since the league’s inception and saw us in tough many nights, including our semi-final game last week against the Jugadores that saw us secure the win in the final minute,” said long-time
Old Blacks manager Kyle Shury. “The Masters Cup is also one we’ve been fortunate to capture numerous times but Beaver did pry it from us a few years back in a well fought 1-0 win that saw Josh Harowitz stand on his head in the pipes including a last minute outstretched palm save off the goal. Looking forward to another well fought battle on Sunday.”
FEBRUARY
JESSICA JONES
It’s been a milestone month for Richmond basketball standout Jessica Jones as a key member of the Simon Fraser University women’s team. The former McMath standout and two-time city MVP surpassed the 1,000 point plateau of her collegiate career in SFU’s recent 99-91 overtime win over Northwest Nazarene, scoring a game-high 32 points. The fourth-year guard leads SFU in several key offensive categories including points per game (17.8) and three-pointers (74) while logging nearly 30 minutes per game. The News is proud to recognize Jessica as athlete of the month for.
SPONSORED BY:
The finalists include back-to-back defending champions — the Graduates. They have been contenders since their inception into the league nine years ago — under the guidance of coaches Mike Rubinstein, Mark Fletcher and Brett Livingstone — earning promotion to the First Division in their inaugural season.
In 2015 he left the Sun and our sister publication the Vancouver Courier became the new home of PITB, running daily stories on their website as well as weekly features in their printed newspaper. Now PITB has expanded even further, featuring articles from regular freelance contributors Wagner will be editing, while also continuing his own signature coverage. The thing that sets PITB apart from the others is that they’ve always provided Canucks coverage that’s a little bit off-kilter, taking the silliest aspects of hockey way too seriously and poking holes in the facade of the most serious aspects. To celebrate the PITB launch, the News is offering a pair of tickets to the Canucks March 8 game against Columbus. Visit our Facebook page for contest details.

PLAYOFF BASKETBALL COVERAGE at Richmond-News.com
Sockeyes season ends with another series loss to Grandview Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Wilson was all the Sockeyes could muster. “Our offence dried up
when we needed it the most and when you have a 20-year-old in a game sev-
en he can steal a game for sure,” added Reusch. They finish every check and they
put their body on the line. “We were pretty banged up tonight playing back-to-
back games so it was tough to utilize some of our best players.”
The Grandview Steelers’ playoff mastery of the Richmond Sockeyes continues and it doesn’t seem to matter how much adversity they face. A 4-1 game seven victory at Minoru Arenas on Monday night made it five Pacific Junior Hockey League opening round series wins in the last six years against Richmond. That streak looked to be in serious jeopardy on Sunday night at the Burnaby Winter Club with the Sockeyes enjoying a 4-2 game six lead and less than five minutes away from a series win. However, the Steelers scored twice then pulled out an improbable 5-4 victory in overtime. That result put them exactly where longtime coach and GM Aldo Bruno thought they would be all along — in a game seven winner-take-all showdown. That’s not a bad scenario when you happen to have the league’s best goaltender in veteran Cale Dolan. “Every year we go through this and it’s unfortunate we have to do this to each other. Almost all the series have been seven games too,” said Bruno. I told our guys before the game today I had a number that I had written in my head and it was seven and it would be a 3-2 victory. Those are just based on things I think are achievable by our players and I set goals like that for them.” Sockeyes head coach Brett Reusch has watched promising seasons come to an abrupt end the last couple of years courtesy of the Steelers. “It’s a tough pill to swallow for sure and right now I’m just trying to digest everything,” said Reusch. “We blew a couple of two goals leads in game six and they are a relentless and a mature group that does not give up.” It was Jack Hamilton who notched the game seven winner early in the second period. Jordan Myers then added a huge shorthanded breakaway goal in the third. That was more than enough for Dolan who earned first star honours with a 35 save performance. An unassisted first period goal from Nick

GINGER INDIAN CUISINE CELEBRATING 7 DELICIOUS YEARS
After seven years in the local restaurant business, Bob Singh says he still has time to wash the odd dish or two. But his main focus today running Ginger Cuisine at Garden City Shopping Centre (Garden City Rd. and Blundell Rd.) with his wife, Mandeep, is to continue providing top quality meals that celebrate the best of north Indian cuisine. “When we started out, we had a much smaller staff than today,” said Bob. “Mandeep was serving customers, and when I was not in the kitchen cooking, I’d be washing dishes. Today, we have 18 on staff and in the past seven years have grown the business by serving our customers good food without any compromises.” That means Ginger Cuisine only subscribes to authentic recipes using all natural ingredients.

We’d like to thank our customers for all their support over the years and invite them to come in and celebrate our anniversary with us
Bolstered by Mandeep’s long-time managerial experience in the food service industry, plus Bob’s expertise in business and in the kitchen, they came up with a winning formula at their first location in the Bridgeport Rd. area, “It was hard, initially,” Bob said. “But we were committed to serve our customers with good, quality food. And eventually, people started loving us.” After a few years they decided to build on their growing success and opened a larger restaurant at their present location.

“We later sold the first business because we wanted to focus on giving our customers the best possible dining experience we could
FULL{
provide,” Bob said. “And that involves making meals that are both flavourful and healthy.” It also includes a menu catering to not only vegetarians, but vegans, as well. “We can adapt many of our recipes to suit them,” Bob said. “It may take a little extra time for us to prepare, but they can enjoy many of our dishes, such as aloo gobi, which is cauliflower and potato. There’s also our mixed vegetables dish, okra masala, and jeera alloo, one of my favourite dishes. It’s simple and delicious potatoes and cumin seeds in a tomato sauce.” So, what’s on the horizon for Ginger Indian Cuisine in the next seven years? Bob said there’s always the prospect of expansion. “But if we do that at some point, it is essential we maintain the high quality of food we serve here, and to our business customers who we began delivering to at their workplaces for the past three years,” he said, adding that side of the operation has been steadily growing under his management. “But for now, we’d like to thank our customers for all their support over the years and invite them to come in and celebrate our anniversary with us,” he said. Ginger Indian Cuisine is located at #490-9100 Blundell Rd. Visit their website at: gingerindiancuisine.ca for more information. And look for anniversary discount coupons in the Richmond News.
