Election call is Not just CBSA speeding pure opportunism Dear Editor,
Dear Editor, B.C. Premier John Horgan announced he is dissolving the provincial legislature and calling an election early. He says delay will “create uncertainty and instability…” He further states, “or we can do what I believe is always the right thing: And that’s ask British Columbians what they think.” I’ll tell you what I think, Mr. Horgan: I think the instability we need to be concerned about is yours, if you think calling an early election in the midst of the worst pandemic in over a century is a responsible and reasonable course of action. You need to do your job and govern. I think this is pure political opportunism because you’re enjoying momentary popularity in the midst of the pandemic. You promised you would not call an early election and yet here we are.

OK, so what has this NDP minority government done for us? They managed the pandemic arguably adequately, though I believe not firmly enough and I place the majority of credit on Dr. Bonnie Henry. What else? Oh yes, they gave us the speculation and vacancy tax declaration requirement, mailed to us with a glossy brochure that tells us 99 per cent of British Columbians are exempt from the tax. They have legislated changes for ICBC, declaring concussion, a brain injury, as a “minor injury” and legislated limits on settlements and evidence. I would like to know which party will do away with the vacancy tax declaration and which party will allow me to pick which auto insurer I wish to use. I might be inclined to vote for that party, but I won’t vote for John Horgan’s NDP.

two years longer than Eddy Wong.
In regards to the recent article about Eddy Wong fearing for his life from “speeding CBSA officers” and Neil Bruce’s letter about “speeding” RCMP officers, I’ve had negative interactions with the CBSA and RCMP, but that is not going to stop me from telling the truth.
Truth be told, many a postal clerk speeds along Ferguson Road, this is just not a CBSA problem.
In reference to Neil Bruce’s letter about the speeding RCMP officer, perchance he or she was performing a needful task?

Time for B.C. to get nasty Dear Editor,
weekends, often setting daily records.
At the end of June, B.C. had reduced COVID-19 cases to about 150 active cases and about 15 new cases daily.
B.C. and Quebec are now the worst provinces per capita for active cases, and B.C. has the highest test positivity rate.
This wasn’t as good as the Maritime provinces, or Manitoba, but it was the best of the four provinces with international airports, and much better than Ontario and Quebec which border the huge number of cases in New York State.
Quebec and Ontario are having resurgences, too, and are introducing more restrictive measures on group sizes, and larger fines for those who flout measures. When will B.C. take strong action?
Peter Mitchell
Since then, B.C. has done a poor job and cases have surged, especially after long

Burning car linked to death Police say a burning vehicle found in Richmond last Wednesday night is linked to a Vancouver murder. A 23-year-old Vancouver resident, Iqubal Grewal, was found dead in front of a house near Knight Street and East 64th Avenue in an apparent targeted shooting.
Shortly afterwards, on Sept. 16, Richmond RCMP responded to calls of a torched vehicle — a hallmark of a gang hit — near Kartner Road and Westminster Highway, east of No. 7 Road. —Kirsten Clarke/Richmond News

Man shot dead at restaurant Alan Campbell
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Police have named the man shot dead at a restaurant in Richmond on Friday night. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said 44-year-old Jian Jun Zhu, who is known to police, died of gunshot wounds after the incident at the Manzo restaurant on Capstan Way. The second shooting victim, a man in his fifties who has not been officially named but is also known to police, was treated for non-life threatening injuries and has since been released from hospital. IHIT said the incident is believed to be targeted and is asking the public for help in identifying any vehicles involved. Any drivers with dashcam video from the area of Garden City Road between Capstan Way and Cambie Road between
6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18, are urged to contact IHIT immediately.
“This was a brazen shooting that could have resulted in further victims,” said Sgt. Frank Jang, of IHIT. Zhu was also an alleged money launderer tied to an underground bank in Richmond, while the Vancouver Sun reported the wounded man was Paul King Jin. According to allegations by B.C.’s director of civil forfeiture, several years ago, hundreds of millions of dollars of druglaced cash were emptied from suitcases onto the floors of a Richmond office, to be counted by Zhu, for money laundering, In November 2018, federal Crown prosecutors, for undisclosed reasons, turfed the high-profile case of alleged money laundering involving Zhu’s money service business Silver International on Cooney Road. —With files from Graeme Wood Glacier Media

Police probe luring outside school Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Richmond Mounties are asking the public for help after a man apparently tried to coax a 10-year-old boy into his van. The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14 in the 6800 block of Azure Road, close to Brighouse elementary. According to the boy, a man aged around 50 approached him in a champagne-coloured van and told him he knew his mom and that he was supposed to take him home. However, the boy said he was suspicious of this, so he ran away and returned home. This incident was reported to
Richmond RCMP the next day and a suspect was identified but later ruled out.
The suspect driver has been described as of Asian descent, possibly with an accent, with short straight black hair, pimpled/freckled/dotted face and wearing a white shirt and gold chain. The vehicle is described as champagne coloured with a black circle logo surrounded by Asian-type writing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212. Reports can also be made by email at Richmond_Tips@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Should you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

COVID-19 cases rise
On the same day the province announced a record number of COVID-19 cases — 165 new ones reported on Sept. 17 — the latest Richmond numbers were released and showed a slight decrease compared to the previous week’s tally.
There were 28 new cases in Richmond over the past week (Sept. 11 to 17), bringing the total number to 219 (as of Sept. 17) since the beginning of the pandemic. The previous week, the total cases were 34.
City warns about fake workers The City of Richmond is warning residents of reports in the last couple of days of people impersonating municipal employees to gain entry to homes. According to city spokesperson Clay Adams, they know of at least two incidents where individuals wearing work gear claimed to be city employees and were knocking on doors, claiming they need to access the house. However, Adams, who said Richmond RCMP is aware of the reports, wanted to remind residents never to allow someone entry to their homes without confirming their identity, no matter how convincing they may seem. He added that city staff:
Testing for COVID-19 continues at the Richmond Assessment Centre at 6820 Gilbert Rd. in the parking lot of the Richmond Tennis Club.
– will also be in a City of Richmond branded vehicle, not a private car or truck;
New Richmond data will be released on Thursday evening.
– will never enter a person’s home. City work focuses on the external property.
Check Richmond-News.com for the latest numbers.
If in doubt, call the City Works Yard at 604-270-8721 (24 hours) or the Richmond RCMP to check.

Council voted Monday to turn a vacant lot at 8620 and 8660 Beckwith Rd., purchased by the city for $3.15 million, into paid parking with a daily rate of $3. The total investment to create the parking lot is $46,000. Currently, there’s no paid parking in the area or on any streets near the property, which are “heavily used” by local businesses and Canada Line users due to the “unregulated timed street parking,” according to a city staff report to council. In order to encourage use of the paid parking lot, the city will place time-limited parking signs on Beckwith Road and nearby streets, such as Smith and Charles streets, according to the report. However, the paid parking lot will only have 32 spaces, and the 200 onstreet spaces would be turned into timed spots. “While this enhanced enforcement would likely result in increased revenue for the city, it could

create hardship for area residents who work in Vancouver and rely on the Canada Line,” according to the report. City staff originally outlined five options for the proposed parking lot in the report, located near Bridgeport and No. 3 roads, with fees ranging from $3 a day up to $20 a day. Council voted for the $3 option as it aligns with TransLink’s nearby Park and Ride. However, the report
notes that some of the scenarios could create an expectation that the property would remain as cheap parking amid surrounding redevelopment. The city purchased the property with the intent to hold it for future development. The city will also consult with neighbouring businesses about the potential impact the enforcement of time-limited street parking may have.
COVID-19 exposure at McMath secondary Kirsten Clarke

There has been a COVID-19 exposure at a Richmond secondary school. In an email to parents Friday, McMath secondary confirmed there has been an exposure to the virus at the school. McMath said Vancouver Coastal Health has worked with the school to identify close contacts, who have been asked to self-isolate.
“At this time, there is no evidence to suggest there has been any exposure to the wider staff or student community,” the email reads. “Areas of the school which may have been impacted have undergone a deep clean in accordance with our district’s health and safety protocols.” The school did not specify when the exposure occurred. According to the notice, any specific details of the case will not be provided for privacy reasons.

Greens, Libs slam Liberals line early election call up candidates gling because of the pandemic.

Johal quoted the Business Council of B.C. that has warned 10,000 to 20,000 small businesses will go under over the next 18 months, impacting the economy and communities.
MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Premier John Horgan announced Monday there will be a snap provincial election on Oct. 24, a year before the previously fixed election date of Oct. 16, 2021.
“We are in a world of hurt economically moving forward,” Johal said. Two incumbents run in Richmond
Sonia Fursteneau, the recently elected leader of the B.C. Green Party, wrote to Horgan last week, before he called the election, asking him not to dismiss their political partnership nor the fixed election date of next fall, saying it’s not time for an “unnecessary and selfserving election.” Jas Johal, who is in his first term as an MLA for R i c h m o n d - Q u e e n s b o rought, called the election a “callous, crass, opportunistic” move, saying “no one needs this right now.”
The BC Liberals have their four candidates lined up for the provincial election for the four Richmond ridings while the BC NDP said they would be announcing theirs over the next few days.

Monday’s election announcement triggered some quick political nominations — so far, two new candidates and two incumbents have declared their intentions to run in Richmond. Richmond city councillor Alexa Loo is running in the Oct. 24 provincial election in Richmond South Centre — held by Linda Reid for 29 years — under the BC Liberal banner while Matt Pitcairn, who stepped down as CEO of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce this week, will try to replace John Yap, MLA for RichmondSteveston, also running as a BC Liberal. With Jas Johal, Richmond-Queensborough, and Teresa Wat, Richmond North Centre, running for re-election, the BC Liberals have all their candidates in place, while the NDP has told the Richmond News they will name their candidates “in the next couple days.” Both Loo and Pitcairn focused their initial cam-

Pitcairn also said, while health and safety are his first priority in the pandemic and should not be politicized, rebuilding the economy is the next priority, however, in a “green fashion,” he added. “Climate change is real, it is here (but) the climate and the economy are not opposing forces,” Pitcairn said, adding the economy should be grown in “a green, sustainable manner” world-wide.

Municipal by-election could be triggered
Loo is serving her second term as a Richmond city councillor. If she won the Richmond South Centre seat, she said she’d use her council experience and connections at the next level of government. “(I would) take what I’ve learned, take the relationships I’ve built and move on and continue to work together,” Loo said, adding it’s good to have someone who understands municipal government at higher levels of government. If she steps down as a councillor, with two years left in her term, it would most likely trigger a municipal by-election within six months. (The next municipal election is in October 2022.) One campaign office Johal, who is running for a second term in office, said all four Richmond BC Liberal candidates plan to share a campaign office, rather than having separate ones. The office will allow a limited number of people at once, to adhere to COVID-19 physical distance orders, he added.

The NDP have decided to call an election in the middle of a global pandemic. John Horgan chose politics, over people. The NDP has promised a lot, but what have they really delivered? X Building a new Richmond Hospital Acute Care Tower? Two years behind, not shovel ready, no contracts awarded. X Replacing the Massey Tunnel? Not shovel ready, no contracts awarded. X Stopping ICBC rate increases? Rates have skyrocketed while other provinces hand out rebates. X Making life more affordable? No $10-a-day childcare, no rental supplement, sky-high strata insurance. Your BC Liberal team will stand up for Richmond: ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓
Approve the plan to build a new expanded Richmond Hospital Acute Care Tower. Fast track the Massey Tunnel Replacement. Give drivers affordability and choice in auto insurance. Push back on the NDP tax onslaught and improve our housing supply.

Give the Scientists credit, but we’re still living with uncertainty (ergo, annuities) Introduction Nobody in the scientific community received advance notice of the Sars-Covid2 Virus, which reached us early this year. They are all working still to learn about the virus and develop a vaccine. What normally takes years, may come to us early next year. Even when the vaccine is approved and injected into us, who knows whether it will work on everyone and for how long it will be effective. Buy your masks! This level of uncertainty, and the Pandemic itself, has changed our lives. What kind of “normal” we return to is really anybody’s guess. It does seem the Pandemic has triggered a higher level of interest in making Wills and doing some other Estate planning. Perhaps we are all looking for some degree of certainty in our lives. With respect to Estate planning, if one thing is clear, it is that interest rates will be staying fairly low for some time yet (in order to help recover our economy). Annuities have, in my view, therefore, become more important and are worth considering in your planning, in 2020. Annuities defined I asked Ms. Alexandra McEachern, of RBC Dominion Securities, for some further insight. Here is some of what she said. First, an annuity is purchased, typically but not always, from an insurance company with a fixed amount of money. You can invest really any amount you wish. There is no tax advantage with the investment (as with an RRSP). In return, you receive from the institution a fixed amount of money (income) per month, or even per annum if you prefer. It does not change. Unless you purchase an indexed annuity You get a set amount of money as long as you lives does not change. You cannot cancel an annuity. Once you purchase, you have it and there is no going back. The money you receive is taxable income and must be declared as such on your tax return. When you pass, the Annuity is annulled and the funds are gone. There is no “residual money”. So if you purchase an annuity in 2021 and you die in 2022, whatever was invested is lost. Unless you purchase an insured annuity. Pros and Cons What is important about annuities is that your risk is eliminated. You invest whatever amount you choose, you receive your income. If the stock market crashes or a Canadian Bank declares bankruptcy (which would really mean the end of the world, surely), you still receive your money each month. The problem with annuities is, in my opinion, twofold. First, as Ms. McEachern says, we are in a low interest rate environment and returns are low. You need right now to invest a lot of money in order to receive a “decent” level of income from your annuity. The second problem is life expectancy. The longer you live, after your investment, the more likely you are to have invested prudently. An annuity is designed to provide a fixed level of income for life. If you don’t live long enough, your investment was a “bad” one and your family may suffer financially from it. Another aspect of annuities, which may be viewed as a “con” is that the purchaser has to be insurable. Thus, if you want to purchase an annuity, and you are examined by a Nurse or other professional, and deemed not insurable, you cannot purchase. This is only required for insured annuities. Annuities with no insurance component requires no medical exam. Options Speaking with an advisor (not necessarily at the institution who will sell you the annuity) will help. Whether an annuity is for you will depend on a few factors, including your age, health, asset ownership and risk tolerance. To get around the problem of life expectancy, consider an insured annuity. When you purchase the annuity, buy insurance at the same time. Doing this assures you of a cash payout when you die, so that your capital is not lost. It will help your family. Another option that should be mentioned is with respect to your RRSP. In the year you turn 71, the RRSP must be converted to a RRIF or collapsed. But you are permitted at age 71 to purchase an annuity instead. Doing that avoids the minimum withdrawal requirements of a RRIF (which increase with age and will increase your taxable income) and gives you the fixed annual income you may prefer. Conclusion In the elevated level of uncertainty we live in, it is safe to say that financial planning has become more important. Annuities should be considered as part of a retirement income strategy. The importance of a fixed income from some of your investments cannot be overlooked. You should seek independent advice from a professional before concluding your decision. An annuity should ultimately form only a part of your investment strategy.

Mooncakes and lanterns are symbols of the upcoming Mid-Autumn and Harvest Full Moon festivals. And while COVID-19 may have put a damper on celebrations this year, the city has organized a virtual lantern celebration. In collaboration with the City Centre Community Association, Marina Szijarto, a Richmond resident, will be creating a lantern-making video for this year’s celebrations. While Szijarto has organized and hosted many lantern-making workshops in the past five years during the festivals, she said this time will be unique.
The video, she said, will show several versions of lanterns people can make with their family using common items in a home, compared to materials that are usually prepared for participants during past workshops. “There’s something interesting about

With the fall season coming and life returning to regular routines, Canadian Blood Services is encouraging donors to continue to help people in Canada who need blood. A blood donation event will be held at Peace Mennonite Church location at 11571 Daniels Rd. on Sept. 30 from 1 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. According to Dragana Nikolic, event coordinator at Canadian Blood Services, the event is currently booked at 65 per cent, with about 50 more appointments still available for people to
While the community has been supportive of blood donations during the pandemic, that could change this fall with parents returning to work and schools reopening, said Nikolic. Donors must book appointments online and check their eligibility for donation before coming to the donation facility. COVID-19 protocols include screening questions, spacing donation beds six feet apart and checking donors’ temperatures. Donors are also asked to wear face masks.

going back to these handmade crafts and ways of working together during these times,” said Szijarto. “It’s been a difficult year to find those little moments of beauty, and something like making a lantern can represent the special time we have together.”
She told the Richmond News that when people are done creating their lanterns, she and the association hope the public can arrange their own “socially distant lantern processions” with friends and family on Oct. 1 — the night the moon will be the roundest.
Food bank gears up for Thanksgiving drive Every year, the Richmond Food Bank collects thousands of pounds of food during the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive to help raise enough food for residents in need. However, many food banks are struggling to keep their shelves full this year due to an increase in people turning to the food bank for daily grocery needs during the pandemic, according to the society. The goal for the food drive is to raise more than 500,000 pounds of food to support food banks for 50 cities throughout B.C. this year. Due to COVID-19, the society will be launching a contactless food drive where brown paper bags will be placed
at Richmond residents’ doorsteps starting Sept. 21. Residents are encouraged to place non-perishable food donations in the paper bag and then place the bag in front of their main door where it’s visible from their driveway before 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26. Volunteers will pick up the donations and deliver them to the Richmond Food Bank that day. Donation bags can also be dropped off at the food bank’s Cedarbridge Way location or at the nearest grocery store.

YVR runway hosts Terry The Terry Fox Run was largely held virtually this year due to the ongoing pandemic, but Vancouver International Airport decided to open its runway for its employees and partners. Joined by the Rick Hansen Foundation, there were 30 runners at the event on Sunday.
“Terry Fox is an iconic Canadian, and cancer research is so important,” said YVR marketing manager Christopher Richards, adding “The weather was perfect, smoky conditions cleared over the weekend and we were able to safely run for a great cause.” — Valerie Leung/Richmond News
The Christmas Fund serves low-income families, and individuals so they can celebrate Christmas. Last year, almost 3,000 people in Richmond received assistance, including 890 children, 337 youth and 360 seniors, a 22 per cent increase compared with the year before. But the economic hardship caused by COVID-19 means more families than ever will be relying on the fund this year, according to Ed Gavsie, president and CEO
of Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG). Not So Silent Night, dubbed this year “A Not So Isolated Night 2020,” will take place through two online auctions — one public and one private. The public auction will be open for five days at the end of November. Participants will be given a Zoom code to the private auction, which will be held on Dec. 2 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Although some minor changes have been made to the annual auction, the sixth annual Richmond RCMP Toy Drive is still going to take place on Nov. 21 outdoors at Lansdowne Centre. Meanwhile, the 10th annual Christmas Fund DriveThru will be held at the Brig-
house Fire Hall on Dec. 1, encouraging people to drive through the fire hall to donate cash or toys. The City of Richmond has also donated more than 100 bikes. All toys will be sanitized before being given out to families. To encourage more people to become donors this year, seven local politicians, who are also named as honorary advisors, agreed to lend their social media voices to support the Christmas Fund, said Wayne Duzita, co-chair of Richmond Christmas Fund. Duzita added that they are still looking for about 20 more auction items valued between $50 and $200. For more information about the Richmond Christmas Fund, visit rcrg.org.

YVR terminates major infrastructure project Kirsten Clarke
KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
With $525 million already spent, the Vancouver Airport Authority is halting a large-scale infrastructure project due to the impact of COVID-19 on the aviation industry. The airport announced recently it’s putting an end to its CORE Program, part of a multi-year capital program, just a day after letting the construction company know of its intentions. It’s the latest in a number of steps the air-
port authority has taken to reduce operating and capital costs to protect its long-term financial health, said the airport authority in a statement. Instead, they will focus their resources on projects that meet their more immediate needs. The CORE Program was designed when YVR was experiencing double-digit growth. In a statement, Tamara Vrooman, who took over as president and CEO of Vancouver Airport Authority on July 1, said cancelling the project was a “difficult but necessary decision.” “We simply do not need the capacity this project brings for the foreseeable future
and need to prioritize our resources elsewhere,” she said.
Those resources will go instead towards projects that support the recovery of the aviation industry such as trials for health screening and testing, and improving data and technology infrastructure. The airport will also enhance YVR’s cargo facilities and other projects that are “best completed when the airport is less busy, such as airfield infrastructure,” according to the announcement. The CORE program included a central utilities building, which would have housed one of largest geoexchange systems in
Canada, slated for completion by 2022.
Geoexchange, a heating and cooling system, uses the earth’s renewable energy found just below the surface. It would have been integrated throughout the airport. The central utilities building was being built on the airport’s former value parking lot. That site was also earmarked for a ground transportation centre including a new parkade under the CORE program. The program can be restarted in the future when additional capacity is required, and it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars more to complete, according to a YVR spokesperson.

What do you like best about Richmond?
What song best describes Richmond?
The diversity and the food are the obvious choices which really set Richmond apart. However, the park spaces are a real underrated feature of Richmond.
Well, I think about berry farming when I think about Richmond so anything by the Cranberries or Blueberry Hill!
How do you stay healthy in Richmond? Luckily my office is in the heart of Richmond at the intersection of Cooney and Ackroyd roads so I enjoy getting out for walks during my lunch. It’s nice to get some fresh air and it gives me a chance to take in the city. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? I am a big fan of the Garden City Lands which also happens to be one of the locations I use for exercise.
Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests? Steveston is always a great choice as well as my wife’s parents’ house for some great barbecue. They are life-long Richmond residents. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept? (i.e., working from home, one way traffic in Steveston, automatic walk signs) I have been in the office throughout the pandemic so I have definitely enjoyed the automatic walk signs as well as the reduced traffic, especially in the George Massey Tunnel.
Brian Corcoran is determined to help businesses thrive as chair of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

What do you like best about Richmond?
and people to see while walking next to the river.
I have to say, I love all of the delicious restaurants in Richmond and especially love discovering new small family-run establishments. The cultural diversity of the cuisine available is fantastic, and there are always more places to discover. If I could eat dumplings every day, I would.
It’s hard not to associate Richmond with the music I have heard at Gateway Theatre, so for me, the song that comes to mind is “Getting to Know You” from The King and I.
How do you stay healthy in Richmond? Richmond is a great walking city, so I spend a lot of time walking in Minoru park and along the river near the Olympic Oval. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? I love the path next to the river, from the Olympic Oval heading in either direction. There are so many birds to watch, and interesting things

But also to one of the many amazing restaurants in town — Dynasty Dumplings, Afuri Ramen or any of the amazing places on Restaurant Row.

What do you like best about Richmond? I like the flatness of Richmond. When we came to Canada, my children were very young and always asked to ride a bicycle. How do you stay healthy in Richmond? It is very easy to get fresh vegetables and fruits or any culture-specific items very easily. I feel that if one takes care of what you eat, it is easy to maintain your health. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? Parks and dikes we have in Richmond enhance the closeness to nature. What song best describes Richmond?
and community disputes. Shashi has been actively involved in the areas of multiculturalism and women’s issues locally, provincially and nationally, as well as being a recipient of several awards including The Women of Distinction Award in 2014 and the Order of B.C. this year.
I have not taken much interest in the Western music so will not have an answer. I want to say, though, that being able to enjoy the music of my South Asian background with complete freedom gives me the sense of belonging in Richmond. Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests? I have always loved malls, dikes for walks and Stevenson Village as it is so unique. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept (i.e., working from home, one way traffic in Steveston, automatic walk signs)? It has not made much difference for me. I have not stayed home for so long that I am enjoying being home.

What do you like best about Richmond?
What song best describes Richmond?
The multicultural communities and diversity in Richmond is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and I think it’s a special trait to be treasured and valued.
“Here Comes The Sun” as we live in sunny Steveston!
How do you stay healthy in Richmond? Soccer! I’m out on the field every day and I love it! However, I also enjoy getting outside where we live, near the dike. We spend hours running, walking, biking and enjoying the beauty of the Fraser River. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? Right outside our door — we have a special spot to enjoy the spectacular sunsets of Steveston, not to mention the Bark Park, which is our dog Scout’s haven!
Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests? There are so many choices, and so many great places in Richmond. I love Steveston boardwalk, the restaurants, the parks and the water. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept (i.e., working from home, one way traffic in Steveston, automatic walk signs)? How we treat others in our community. Teaching our little ones good habits like consistent handwashing and looking after the seniors community.

What do you like best about Richmond?
What song best describes Richmond?
All the beautiful nature at our doorstep, there are so many fantastic places to walk and cycle.
Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests?
How do you stay healthy in Richmond? Getting outdoors as much as possible, taking care of my garden, eating a well balanced diet with lots of fresh vegetables, (attempting to) limit screen time. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? I recently discovered Terra Nova which is a wonderful place, but I have to say the Nature Park at Westminster and No. 5 Road is a beautiful spot for a walk — a hidden gem!
“Chasing the Sun” by Sara Barielles.
Steveston, it’s such a perfect little picturesque town. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept (i.e., working from home, one way traffic in Steveston, automatic walk signs)? I think automatic walk signs are a great idea. I find Richmond to be not very pedestrian friendly (particularly around my neighbourhood).
Jill Raymond is busy adapting to the new world facing the arts community in Richmond and beyond.

In the past 10 years, she has worked at a high level for professional sports teams in London, Spain, USA and Canada. During her time in the corporate world,
Q&A
What do you like best about Richmond? There is a sense of community and your neighbours look out for you and vice versa. How do you stay healthy in Richmond? I go for walks around the local parks and ride my bike on River Road trail. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? West Dyke Recreational Trail. What song best describes Richmond? “Hold on we’re going home” by Drake. Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests?
Shayain recognized her ability to play golf and do business on the course was instrumental in fast-tracking her career. Her passion now lies in helping women and minorities do the same.
Shayain also runs her own consultancy, SJG International, which services Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams and the entertainment industry. We start with brunch at the Flying Beaver to watch the seaplanes take off and land, then head to Steveston Harbour to see the fresh fish that has been caught. Then we head to a local coffee shop and bakery and then walk to the Steveston Museum to show our guests the history. This is followed by dinner at our local Asian restaurant (we have a few favourites so we decide based on the guests preference). Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept? I really do appreciate the automatic walk signs on major intersections so we have one fewer touch point.
Shayain Gustavsp has targeted women and minorities to introduce more people to the sport of golf.

I don't have one.
I like to show visitors Steveston, the north and south arm dike, and Iona Island and the drive getting there. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept (i.e., working from home, one way traffic in Steveston, automatic walk signs)? The one thing l would like to keep from my COVID-19 experience is the spirit of the Richmond people working together in fighting the problem.

Michael Chiu Michael Chiu is a local businessman and committed volunteer who has been living in Richmond for 42 years with his family. If you can’t find Michael in his office, you will see him running around at different not-for-profit organizations, such
as Richmond Sunset Rotary Club and Richmond Christmas Fund.
He felt motivated to contribute to society because he considered Richmond his home in which everyone trusts and supports each other.
Q&A What do you like best about Richmond? I appreciate the cultural diversity here in Richmond, which can allow us to learn from each other. How do you stay healthy in Richmond? I used to play golf when I was young, but then I got so busy with my volunteering work. But volunteering can keep me not only physically healthy but also mentally happy. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? Steveston is one of my favourite spots because I hope everyone can know the story behind this historic fishing village. What song best describes Richmond?
“I believe” by Nikki Yanofsky, one of the songs played at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. I still remember I went to the Richmond Olympic Oval to watch the speed skating competitions. Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests? Fisherman’s Wharf, Steveston Museum and the Olympic Oval. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept (i.e., working from home, one way traffic in Steveston, automatic walk signs)? I wish COVID-19 could go away as soon as possible, and I don’t want to see anyone suffer. But one thing I would like to keep is trying to stay calm and happy. It’s like a rule of life.

Marika Lopez Marika Lopez is 18 years old and is currently in her first year at KPU studying criminology.
When she’s not busy studying, working or spreading seizure awareness, Marika is a junior editor of Motive Word and Pen.
She also spreads seizure awareness on Instagram (@seizure_soldiers) and Facebook (Seizure Soldiers),.
In her spare time, she creates posts for her seizure awareness page or learns about different laws.
She also has four different roles at three different epilepsy organizations.
One way Marika relaxes after a busy, stressful day, is by reading one of her books or writing in her diary.
Q&A What do you like best about Richmond? Diversity of people, culture and food. The diversity of Richmond helps kids and youth understand our differences and breaks down old cultural stigma. How do you stay healthy in Richmond? I love to go walking and catch up with my friends around the Steveston Village/ Garry Point area. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? Kuno Garden in Garry Point, it’s breathtaking and I feel that it’s often overlooked. What song best describes Rich-
mond? “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers shows how Richmond people are always ready to lend a hand to those who need help. Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests? Eating at one of the Steveston Wharf restaurants and being able to see the sunsets is a memory no one forgets and showcases a rich part of our history. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept? Working from home helps save gas money, and there’s more family time, even with me and my parents’ busy schedules.
Marika Lopez is a first-year criminology student and works to spread seizure awareness.

We are a port city and it’s very close to the water. Water is my personal “common denominator.” How do you stay healthy in Richmond? I have recently embarked on a two-year plan to reach my best possible health and reverse the damage my 20+ year chronic illness has done. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? My dog and I love outside of the Richmond Oval, especially the stretch of the Fraser River between the No. 2 Road and Gilbert bridges.
“Leaving on a Jet Plane.” Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests? We usually stick to the standards like Steveston or the Oval. Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept (i.e., working from home, one way traffic in Steveston, automatic walk signs)? I’ve really enjoyed witnessing the creativity of humans when faced with adversity. We now know that many of us can function running on different schedules than the standard 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

Where in Richmond do you like to take out-of-town guests?
I like the fusion of urban and rural, as well as the cultural diversity of our community. It just seems to work well here.
Steveston is an obvious choice. Probably everyone agrees with that. But there are a few other little areas that are unique to Richmond, such as Finn Slough. This little fishing community where people live in their small, wooden floating and piling-supported houses offers a glimpse into Richmond’s unique past.
Q&A
How do you stay healthy in Richmond? Playing hockey at Minoru, the Richmond Ice Centre and the Oval keeps me very active. I also enjoy refereeing adult hockey. What’s your favourite sliver of nature in Richmond? The new playground in Terra Nova. What song best describes Richmond? I’m not much into music, so I wouldn’t really have an opinion on this one.
Is there an adaption to COVID-19 that’s been made that you’d like kept? Working from home has led to a reduction in traffic and pollution. For me, I look forward to being able to shed my mask and, once again, fully engage with people. I also look forward to shaking hands with people again.

Vegan cooking more than just kale, quinoa

A Richmond not-for-profit is hosting free virtual vegan cooking classes to help spread the message about healthy eating and educating people that vegan food isn’t all about kale salads and quinoa bowls.
Mooncake baking full steam ahead
Participants will learn how to make kid-friendly vegetarian lunch boxes, vegetable soups or even fresh spring rolls mixed with a homemade dipping sauce within an hour in their own kitchens. During the past two months, Erica Lu has been busy running around in the back kitchen at Richmond’s Tzu Chi Foundation, an organization formed by Taiwanese immigrants to support newcomers and the public’s needs. As a long-term volunteer with Tzu Chi, Lu presents an hour-long cooking session via YouTube’s live streaming tool or a Zoom meeting each month. “I have been playing around with the recipes and everything. I think virtual cooking classes could be a great way to help food lovers to explore a nutritious vegan diet

Free vegan cooking classes are being offered online by the Tzu Chi Foundation. Photo submitted without leaving their homes,” said Lu, adding their website has been updated monthly with menus.
vegan diets have proved to be good measures to reduce environmental pollution. For some people who might not be that into vegan food at all, this program could be a good way to tell them that vegan diet isn’t that bad,” said Guo. “If you never try, you will never know.”
The idea of launching an online vegan cooking program has been around for quite a while, but COVID-19 was like a “kick in the butt” to accelerate the process, according to Shelley Guo, a member of the vegan promotion team, who has been working to bring vegan cuisine into the mainstream.

The kitchen at Saint Germain Bakery is rich with the smell of freshly baked mooncakes as chefs pull dozens of the seasonal treat out of the oven every 12 minutes. The local bakery is launching fresh-out-of-the-oven mooncakes to help cheer people up, despite the challenges of 2020, said Alex Ma, marketing manager of Saint Germain Bakery at Aberdeen Square. These mooncakes taste similar to Chinese steamed custard buns, a classic Cantonese recipe that yields a tender pastry with just the right amount of sweetness, according to Ma.
Roundness symbolizes completeness and togetherness in Asian culture. Therefore, the round mooncakes represent the harvest moon in the night sky during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes are more than food, said Ma. Most of the ones sold at local supermarkets are imported from other countries and have been made several months earlier. However, these Chinese steamed custard mooncakes are made here in Richmond. “For many people, these treats really hit the spot. They are like a passageway to childhood and many sweet memories. Just like music and literature, food can transcend cultural boundaries as well,” said Ma.

Richmond United teams 50-year-old beer league skating on thin ice up with soccer school Alan Campbell
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
The recently re-branded Richmond United Soccer Club (RUSC) is teaming up with one of the city’s leading soccer academies. RUSC — which, after 46 years, changed its name in June from the Richmond Girls Soccer Association — has partnered with the Richmond-based Martin Bittengl School of Soccer. A statement released by RUSC on Wednesday said that Bittengl and his staff will coach the club’s new adult program, which has two teams in the Richmond Adult Soccer League, and also its boys program, which will start in the spring. RUSC was previously a girls-only youth soccer operation, until it revamped before the summer to include children of all genders and identities. “Our club’s goal is to create an allinclusive environment that not only pro-
vides a variety of programming options for all players, but with direct on-field coaching by some of the best coaches in B.C.” RUSC’s director of operations, Mandhir Punia, told the Richmond News. “Martin, by the end of this year, will possess the highest coaching certification that a coach can have. “Martin and his team provide our players with the opportunity to train with some of the best coaches available…” Bittengl, added Punia, is currently a UEFA A Licence coach and is studying for his UEFA Pro Licence, the highest certification available in the sport. The News reported in February how the previously all-boys youth soccer program at Richmond FC was launching its girls’ program this year with former Team Canada coach Even Pellerud in a leadership position. The recent changes at both RUSC and Richmond FC mean the city now has, for the first time, two youth soccer clubs offering both male and female programs.

One of Richmond’s oldest men’s hockey leagues is in “grave danger of folding,” due to pandemic restrictions on the ice. The Richmond Industrial Hockey League (RIHL) has been around for more than 50 years and normally plays Tuesday nights out of Richmond Ice Centre at Steveston Highway and No. 6 Road. However, the RIHL president of 20 years, Doug Collins, said the current 14 skaters maximum rule and ban on competitive play has put his league on death row. And with no date set by the City of Richmond for when the rules may change, Collins said his small league may lose teams to similar operations in Delta, where competitive adult hockey is being allowed. “We’re basically restricted to 14 skaters and two goalies and not allowed to play any games, which means league play can’t happen,” bemoaned Collins. “We’ve been told there might be some
changes, but we just don’t have a clue when. Other rinks in the Lower Mainland have opened up to competitive play and it puts us in a real awkward spot because our teams have an opportunity to go right now to the likes of Delta.”
According to Collins, Delta has limitations on the number of skaters allowed — 20 — but “that’s doable” with two lines per team. “We would normally have three lines per team. Quite often guys don’t show up. But if you’re restricted to 10 players, and someone doesn’t show up, you’re in trouble.” Collins said he’s going to have to make a decision “one way or the other. A legacy of hockey at risk.” The city said it was aware other rinks allow competitive play, but noted those were private facilities. Spokesperson Clay Adams said the city is acutely aware time is of the essence for the likes of the RIHL, but added that there are several practical challenges that still need to be ironed out before competitive play can return safely.
Richmond’s new pickleball courts making quite a racket The Richmond BC Pickleball Association is encouraging locals to come on out and share their love of the sport — after the city opened up nine new courts.

Get Oakridge Mall Branch Unit 137, Oakridge Centre 650 West 41st Ave., Vancouver Opening in 2022
The association said the new courts — at South Arm and Hugh Boyd — are so popular that players are even streaming over the city boundaries to join in the fun at the floodlit facilities. More than a year ago, the associa-
tion approached the city requesting dedicated outdoor pickleball courts to accommodate the growing number of players. Several months later, the city approved funding for the courts, which opened this summer to the public. “Richmond is very fortunate to have night lights on all courts, allowing for play in the evenings as well as throughout the winter months,” said a
spokesperson for the association. “The courts check all the right boxes including wheelchair accessible. Pickleball is one of the few sports where wheelchair players can compete against other wheelchair players and ambulatory players. Job well done, Richmond.” For more information, go online to Richmondbcpickleball.org. —Alan Campbell/Richmond News

DIEDRICH, Katharine M. April 21, 1953 − August 17, 2020 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear sister and friend Katharine. Katharine was born in Kimberley, BC to Al and Rae Diedrich. The family moved to Rossland when she was six. She loved sports and was the scorekeeper at all the RSS Senior Royals basketball games. She also loved fishing, her Chevelle, and her Camaro. Katharine was an avid traveller jetting off to Africa, Great Britain, and Mexico, as well as an Alaskan cruise. After graduating as an RN, Katharine’s career took her to jobs in Trail, Prince Rupert, and the Lower Mainland. As a retired RN, it was natural for her to be helpful to those around her. She had a heart big enough to lend a helping hand or a sympathetic ear. She was always there to help her apartment neighbours when they were sick or, sadly, closing the last chapter of their lives. She was very open−minded and nonjudgmental. Katharine is survived by her siblings, Ted (Barb) Diedrich, Sharon (Neil) Thomas, and Linda (Bob) French; as well as her nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents and grandparents. By Katharine’s request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated. Spread your angel wings, Katharine! You’ve earned them.
Betty Koyanagi filled her life with grace, artistry, laughter, and adventure. Professionally, she was proud to have been the Administrative Assistant to the President of Canada West Indies Molasses for more than a decade. When not using her fierce office skills (she used to say offhandedly that she could type over 120 wpm), she was a talented visual and textile artist, skilled and creative chef, cultivator of orchids and beautiful gardens, and avid ballroom dancer. On top of all that, she also excelled in curling, skiing, and bowling, and made incredible award-winning ice sculptures on the front lawn in Ontario. Betty was a strong and selfless mother, teaching her children to be curious, independent, and to strive for excellence. With her late husband, Mutsuo Koyanagi, she inspired in her kids a love of travel, good food, and late night family games of poker. Betty is survived by her children; Karen Koyanagi, Victor Koyanagi (wife, Jana), and Maria Koyanagi (husband, Arnie Yeanuzzi), grandchildren; Giovanna Deluca (husband, Pete Romano), Ryan Koyanagi, Halle Koyanagi, sister Helen Yamamoto, and brother Tom Kobayashi (wife, Kumi Kobayashi). We miss you, Mom, Grandma, Sister. Richmond Funeral Home Cremation & Reception Centre (604) 273-3748 www.RichmondFuneral.ca

Francis, Tommy, by her Stephen sister-in-
Margaret was born in Roslea, Northern Ireland and moved to London, England at a young age where she met and married her husband Leslie. Both Margaret and Leslie were adventurers at heart and emigrated to Philadelphia and they then moved from coast to coast settling in Richmond/South Delta, where Margaret spent her remaining years. While the adventure took Margaret far from home, she maintained a strong connection to Ireland and was very proud of her Irish heritage. Margaret had many careers, none more important then being a Mom to her children. Margaret enjoyed being busy and learning new arts/crafts, with her passions being gardening and knitting. She loved music and would always welcome a chance to hit the dance floor. Margaret was a very kind person with a soft spot for animals and nature, especially her bird friends who were regular visitors to her garden. Her love of laughter and her giggle will be missed by her family and friends.
