Video rant brings up who has the right Eve Edmonds

EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

So about that Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it’s an important document for sure, but it seems some folks are throwing it around like a “get out of jail free” card. The latest example was at a Bosley’s pet food store in Terra Nova where a woman came in maskless, demanding to be served. When the worker told her she had to either put on a mask or leave, she launched into a tirade, all caught on camera, calling the worker a “disgusting pig” and the “f***ing gestapo.” Ironically, it was the customer herself who recorded the whole thing and posted it on social media. As someone in this household said, “why would she ﬁlm herself looking like an idiot?” Good question. Although a caveat here — while we hear the customer’s rant and see the worker’s reaction, the customer never turns the camera on herself. I’m not sure

if she’d be so bold in the spotlight. Regardless, this woman certainly seems to think she’s ﬁghting the good ﬁght in the name of rights and freedoms. As part of her rant she told the “missy” (that would be the worker) to do a bit of reading and tries to give the worker a copy of what the woman claims to be the Canadian charter, which she also claims gives her the right to come into a pet store to buy dog food — mask free — because she has a medical exemption. The worker, understandably, had no interest in taking whatever was being thrusted at her, and the customer eventually left, ranting all the way. It appears this woman was also at the centre of a video that went viral in December in which she refused to get off the Canada Line for not wearing a mask. Again, she cites the charter and her medical exemption. None of this behaviour is acceptable, but about accommodations for people with medical exemptions, Bosley’s noted cus-

tomers who can’t wear masks can order online or use curb side pickup. So then what about this charter? Invoking its defence is a favourite among anti-maskers. In fact, some are welcoming tickets from provincial health authorities, saying the charter trumps provincial authorities and they will contest the ticket in court. I’m not aware of any of these cases actually being heard as of yet, but I have read that many legal scholars believe that provincial orders and local bylaws would survive a charter challenge under Section 1, which allows “reasonable limits” on individual freedoms. Speaking of reasonable, I want to note that, despite the play a video like this gets, the vast majority of us are just that — reasonable. I was at Terra Nova Tuesday night and didn’t see a single person in Save-On or even in the parking lot without a mask. Still, this question of balance between the rights of the individual and the interests of the group is a curious one, at least for some of us nerds. Perhaps it’s interesting because

it’s never static. What may have once been seen as a threat to the health and wellness of humanity is now upheld as a basic human right — think gay marriage. As we live in ever-more congested communities, we’re going to have to negotiate these tensions. Current COVID-related health orders are a no-brainer, but I suspect more orders are on the way as we face even greater health and environmental challenges. Do I get to pave my lawn, for example, if it creates more pooling of rainwater, which creates more ﬂooding, which requires more diking and a more robust sewer system, for which we all have to pay? In the What COVID Can Teach Us playbook, lesson one is that we are a complex and integrated world. What’s happening in India right now can quite literally kill us in Canada. This is the time to truly understand that rights go both ways, and your right to not wear a mask or pollute the environment, cannot trump my right to stay healthy.

Troubling views fuel racism Dear Editor,

Re: “Trump got it right about China,” “Racism not the issue,” Letters. It is with profound disappointment and concern that I write in response to the recent letters to the editor which address the issue of anti-Asian racism. Particularly, the comments and sentiments expressed by Alexander Vaz and Wayne Clouston are extremely troubling in my view, given that they perpetuate the normalization of racism and inﬂict further harm on people of colour. To dismiss the racist nature of these violent crimes not only undermines the racist motives behind these crimes, but it also sends the signal that it is okay to normalize legitimate hate crimes in our community. According to a recent poll, 77 per cent of Asian respondents have experienced acts of racism at some point during their time in BC. The fact is, Asian-Canadians live racism every day, including acts of vio-

lence. Lived experiences of Asians are more than just a headline and transcend any sort of “mainstream narrative.”

But perhaps what is more concerning is the normalization of the racist term which ties a Chinese martial art to COVID-19. While the author may be having a “good laugh” at this, they do not recognize that Asians have routinely been ridiculed and subjected to discrimination based on the use of this term. I also question the validity of the author’s ﬂawed logic that just because someone knows people of Chinese descent and are familiar with Chinese culture, that their comments and actions are not racist in any way. Perhaps the author can better educate themself by having constructive dialogue with those who have actually lived the painful experience of racism. Between the ever-so-subtle microaggressions, asking where we are really from, to the outright hostile and physical attacks like the one recently seen in

Steveston, racism comes in all forms and all settings. It is important for racialized members and allies in the community to recognize acts of racism as they happen and rightly point them out. #StopAsianHate is more than just a reactionary moment against the incidents in Steveston, in San Francisco, or in Atlanta. It is a symbolism of increasing consciousness amongst Asian-Canadians to the systematic racial prejudice within Canadian society and represents a conscious will to actively resist these prejudices that many people of colour have grown to accept. As a Chinese-Canadian, I realize that calling out racism in our everyday lives is not easy and takes courage. However, I also believe that we as a community can greatly beneﬁt from a community that rejects intolerance and embraces diversity. More than ever, Richmondites need to stand together in the ﬁght against racial discrimination.

Level the food truck playing field Dear Editor, Re: “Council asks food trucks to find new location,” Richmond-News.com, April 19. Our city would do well to require a geotag license which must come at a cost for these food truck operators. Tax them at a rate that reflects their high revenue, time spent onsite and the impact they have on established local restaurants. Currently, these operators enjoy the advantage of choosing the peak sales times for which to maximize profit, sadly to the detriment of our local restaurants who must operate through out the entire year whilst paying revenues to the City of Richmond. I believe this is not a level playing field, and our loyal restaurants should be better represented by the city for which they have established themselves within.

Schools should foster trust with police Dear Editor,

Canadian police ﬁnd their roots in the Bow Street Runners, an organization formed to protect the people of London from crime. They prevented crime by being visible and publishing prosecutions and they responded to crime based on information from the community. They were there to help the community and they communicated with the community. This led to Robert Peel’s statement “the police are the public; the public are the police.” This form of policing is known as “policing by consent.” In simple terms the police are uniformed and trained members of the public, responsible to protect the public as required by the public. It requires trust and communication.

This differs from many systems outside of Canada and the United Kingdom. School trustees in New Westminster and Vancouver have identiﬁed that there is a gap between police and some groups of people. Rather than seeking to close the gaps by fostering understanding and communication they have elected to enhance the gap using fear and mistrust. Their move is engineered to hamper the police in their efforts to protect the people. If a child is in fear or has been threatened or even hurt, they must feel safe reaching for police. Should they not seek protection of the police? If not, then where should they turn for protection, gangs?

Defend all free speech Dear Editor,

Re: “Richmondite launches petition defending free speech of former advisor to Premier over Uyghur comments”, Online, April 22. So Ivan Pak has launched an online petition to support Bill Yee’s “freedom of speech.” Yee has said that Canada’s accusations of Uyghur genocide are “lies.” Pak defends the petition by saying it’s “undemocratic” to silence someone if that person holds different opinions from you. It’s interesting that Pak has not made the same argument defending the rights of Chinese-Canadians who have received death threats for their support of Uyghurs.

Yee and Mr. Pak are entitled to their opinions. But, to my knowledge, there have been no “constructive discussions.” So, it seems that Ivan Pak’s view is that freedom of speech is great, as long as it supports the positions of the CCP and does not offend China.

If he is truly advocating “freedom of speech,” I think Mr. Pak should be condemning those who do not tolerate dissent from the brave ChineseCanadians who are willing to speak out about the “alleged” human rights abuses in China. I’d be willing to have a “constructive discussion” with him about that.

Barb Coley

RICHMOND Ironic, too, that the same “freedom of speech” is no longer permitted in Hong Kong, and those who have shown their support for a democratic Hong Kong, here on Canadian soil, have also received death threats.

Elective surgeries called off Customer abuses Non-urgent surgeries have been cancelled at Richmond Hospital, as the number of patients with COVID-19 increases.

The hospital is one of nine across Metro Vancouver that will only provide urgent and emergency surgeries, as of this week, Health Minister Adrian Dix announced on April 22. The measure will be in place for the next two weeks, but will be monitored week-to-week, said Dix. People whose surgeries were cancelled will be contacted when they are able to rebook. Dix said the need to staff surge capacity means some services need to be reduced. The BC Centre for Disease Control reported on Friday that 253 new COVID-19 cases were detected in Richmond between April 16 and April 22.

Temporary Tim’s closure

One of Richmond’s busiest Tim Hortons has closed its doors until next week due to possible, multiple staff members being exposed to, or testing positive for, COVID-19. Management at the Ironwood location on Steveston Highway closed its doors on Sunday, placing a sign on the window that said the location was closed due to “health reasons.” However, a statement given to the Richmond News by the company conﬁrmed the location was closed “temporarily” for “cleaning and sanitation.” “Team members are self-isolating for 14 days and the restaurant is expected to re-open on May 5,” the statement read. The restaurant is not listed on Vancouver Coastal Health’s (VCH) public exposures webpage, which names businesses

More COVID-19 exposures have been reported in Richmond schools. According to VCH’s school exposures webpage, the latest exposures were at Cook elementary (April 19 to 22); Steveston-London secondary (April 20 to 22); Gilmore elementary (April 21 to 23); Hugh Boyd secondary (April 21); McRoberts secondary (April 20 to 22); Richmond Secondary (April 19 to 21, April 23); and Gilmore elementary (April 21).

pet store worker Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Another video has surfaced on social media of a store worker being verbally abused in Richmond. This time it appears to be a pet store employee in Terra Nova that’s getting it in the neck from someone refusing to wear a mask. In the video, ﬁlmed by the woman ranting, and shared on YouTube and Reddit, the customer claims to have proof of being medically exempt from wearing a mask. However, when she is asked to leave Bosley’s by Pet Valu on Westminster Highway, she launched into a rant about being denied service to buy dog food. When told by the employee that the store can deny service, the customer appears to produce a

“charter of human rights” before labelling the employees “absolutely disgusting.” As she leaves the store, the customer yells “enjoy your lawsuit, you guys are disgusting. F*****g Gestapo. You’re a disgusting human being, you pig.” A statement given to News1130 by Bosley’s referenced their “strict procedures in place to protect everyone during this challenging time. These procedures include wearing masks in all of our stores. The irate customer in question appears to be the same woman who ﬁlmed herself getting arrested on the Canada Line late last year, also for refusing to wear a mask.

Ten vie for vacant council seat Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

In the ﬁnal days of the nomination period, the number of candidates running for one vacant council seat doubled from ﬁve to 10.

Kay Hale, who has run in the past provincially for the BC Conservative Party, has thrown her hat in the ring along with Jennifer Huang and Mark Lee. Huang ran for city council in 2014. Richmond Community Coalition (RCC), which Coun. Chak Au belongs to, is running a candidate — Jonathan Ho, who has run previously for council.

In the meantime, the City of Burnaby is holding a byelection on June 26 to elect two councillors. The budget is set at $877,200.

Progress on tunnel project ‘glacial’ Last week’s provincial budget included some funding for “early works” before the province decides whether to replace the George Massey Tunnel with a bridge or new tunnel. But a ﬁnal plan and price tag to replace the aging tunnel were not included in the budget. The Ministry of Transportation said they are currently reviewing the business case with Indigenous rights holders, the federal government, mayors and other stakeholders. Currently, there is $413 million for “early works” on the crossing. While Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said it’s a “good sign” that the budget contained some money, the project seems to be moving at a “glacial” pace. “We’ve been waiting a long time,” he said about the new crossing to Delta. The ministry said, in a written statement, the government needs “the required time to do its due diligence.” — Maria Rantanen/Richmond News

With approval from the City of Richmond for a patio that will take over the parking spots in front of Davood’s Bistro on No. 1 Road, Khatami hopes his outdoor seating will add to the ambiance of Steveston Village. His next dream is getting the city to convert the street in front of his bistro into a one-way to slow down trafﬁc, make it more pedestrian friendly and add to character. “There’s always room to improve,” Khatami said about Steveston Village. With sidewalk patios blossoming in Vancouver — especially during the pandemic — Khatami is pleased to see the same trend coming to Richmond. Besides, the sidewalks in Steveston are

“too narrow” for seating, Khatami said, “Hopefully everyone follows (making more patios) and we add great character to Steveston and Richmond,” Khatami said. “Just like Vancouver — people love it.” Khatami wants to put lighting on his patio and there will be a fence around it for safety.

“I’m glad the city saw the vision ﬁnally and realized what we were trying to do,” Khatami said. Safety, however, remains top priority for his bistro, he added, so the patio won’t add a lot of seating because of physical distancing rules. “The idea is not to have a party outside… we have to consider safety in all

The city is seeing an uptick in patio applications this year after a slow start to the program at the beginning of the pandemic. As of last Thursday, nine temporary outdoor patio permits had been issued and another 14 were under review. Two patios applied but because they already had been approved, they were allowed to continue. This year, many of the applications are on city property, noted city spokesperson Clay Adams, “which is in keeping with the intent and option for those businesses which may not have suitable room for a patio within their existing footprint.” Currently, all indoor dining is banned because of rising COVID-19 cases in the province. The BC Centre for Disease Control reported 253 new cases last week in Richmond alone and the hospital’s ICU beds were at 95 per cent capacity earlier last week.

District faces $7.2M shortfall Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The Richmond School District is facing a $7.2 million budget shortfall for the 2021/2022 year.

Find out who the 2021 Richmond By-Election candidates are for Councillor

A budget update report to the school board blames the shortfall on declines in enrolment, lower revenues, changes in the delivery of education programming and enhanced health and safety requirements, all a result of the pandemic. “We’re anticipating that we are going to need to maintain certain of those safety and cleanliness measures in the fall, but nothing has been announced in terms of any followup funding from either government,” said Sandra Nixon, school board chair. The board is required to submit a balanced budget for the 2021/2022 school year to the Ministry of Education by June 30. Nixon said school trustees are focusing on two key priorities when making decisions around the budget. “One is COVID recovery, and what we need to ensure that we’re doing that well, not just health and safety, but also looking at potential learning loss from students who’ve been out of the classroom and online,” she said, adding that recovery includes mental health challenges students may have faced this year. The second priority, she said, is the district’s strategic goals.

any budget adjustments. For example, it’s currently projected that there will be an “unrestricted fund balance” of $9.8 million at the end of the current school year, which the board could use to balance the budget.

While that is an option, said Nixon, it would leave the board with little surplus or funds to put towards future capital projects. Another option is to cut staff, although that might not actually result in job losses. For example, the proposed cuts to nine FTE non-enrolling teachers would likely be in learning services, said Nixon. “Those teachers may then go back to classroom positions — but it would be a loss of both learning support and teacher support positions.” The district would then apply to have those teachers funded under the provincial Classroom Enhancement Fund, rather than funded through the district. In a letter to the school board, Liz Baverstock, president of the Richmond Teachers Association states the district should ensure the “8.4 of enrolling teachers does not result in a stafﬁng cut.” Shortfalls are also expected for the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 school years, however, those budgets are “pretty far out,” said Nixon. “We’re expecting enrolment to increase — that was the forecast a couple of years ago — which will bring in more funding. We’re also hoping our international program will rebound fairly quickly.”

The projected shortfall comes ahead of

Y daycare uses lottery A “lottery” process will be used to fill spaces at a new Richmond child care facility. The Sprouts Child Care Centre, operated by the YMCA of Greater Vancouver through a partnership with the City of Richmond, is scheduled to open its doors this summer, and will provide 12 spaces for children under 36 months, 25 full day spaces for children aged three to five years and 20 part day (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) spaces, also for children aged three to five years. Applications for the lottery process, which will be used for initial intake, will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, May 2. “This ensures that the process is fair and transparent and that there is equal access

to the child care spaces,” reads a statement from the YMCA. Applications will be drawn “randomly by priority and by age group,” and placed on a wait-list in the order they are drawn. First priority will be given to those who live and work in Richmond, followed by siblings of children currently enrolled in another YMCA child care program. Third priority will be given to children currently in another YMCA child care program who would want to be enrolled in Sprouts. There will also be 20 before and after school spaces, which will open at the centre in September. A separate wait-list for these spaces will be released later. — Kirsten Clarke/Richmond News

Richmond RCMP school liason program stays - for now Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

There are no plans in Richmond — yet — to follow the lead of Vancouver and get rid of the RCMP School Liason Officer program. However, the role of police in schools will be looked at more closely after further consultation with the community. Last year, the school board established the Diversity and Anti-Racism Working Group, which aims to launch broad consultation with school communities, said Sandra Nixon, chair of the school board. “Specifically, (the group is) looking at where there might be concerns regarding racism that may be in programming or more structurally, anywhere in the district,” she said, adding the board expects the consultation to pay particular attention to the voices and experiences of the BIPOC community. “We’re hoping the consultation will be able to create those safe spaces where people can talk about their experiences and name issues.” The working group is currently developing the consultation process and timeline with third-party consultants, said Nixon. She added, the process will likely go into the fall. The conversations in Vancouver and New Westminster around the role of police in schools are also on the district’s radar, said Nixon. On Monday night, the Vancouver School Board (VSB) voted to put an end to its officer liaison program with the Vancouver Police Department (VPD). The program has been under review for nearly a year,

following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minn. Concerns were raised that the presence of ofﬁcers in schools has a negative impact on BIPOC and marginalized students. The VSB had an independent third party consult with students to examine the issue. Then, on Tuesday, the New Westminster school board voted to end its liaison ofﬁcer program with that city’s police department.

In Richmond School District, the working group will make recommendations back to the school board, based on the ﬁndings of the independent third party consultation. “We do expect that in those recommendations, there would be recommendations to review particular programs, possibly the school liaison ofﬁcer program,” Nixon said. She added that any future discussions about the program would involve students, staff and stakeholders.

Rabbit snares on Richmond property raise safety concern to struggle, the tighter the wire would become.

Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Rabbit snares were found on a Richmond property in the past week, which has since raised safety concerns in the neighbourhood. Vancouver-based The Fur-bearers, an animal welfare organization, and Surreybased rabbit rescue Suzaku Sancutary Society, received concerned calls of an injured rabbit with snare wire around its neck last week.

This rabbit trap was found in Richmond. Lesley Fox, executive director of The Furbearers, said Richmond residents also called to report seeing “dangerous snare traps” on one of their neighbour’s lawn. The snare, Fox described, was homemade and had a noose-like wire and if an animal were to be caught and began

“We found that the snare wire around this particular rabbit wasn’t from the home with the snares on its front yard, and we suspect it’s from another snare trap in the neighbourhood,” said Fox, adding that the rabbit had managed to bite off the wire and ran into a neighbour’s backyard. “Traps don’t need identiﬁcation such as serial numbers or tracking mechanisms so when animals are found in traps, there’s no recourse.” Donna Jones and her husband, whose

residence had traps on their lawn, said the traps were placed “out of desperation,” but have “learned their lesson.” “We have been inundated with rabbits in our area and I guess my husband ﬁgured that (the snares) might be a deterrent,” said Jones in an email to the Richmond News, adding that the snares were taken away after an enforcement ofﬁcer came to speak with them.

Happy Mother’s Day from the Richmond News

Crops, farmers depend on bees neurs, the three owners of Jive Honey also want to see the mindset around bees shift.

Maria Rantanen

Varona said there’s sometimes a “disconnect” between honey and bees.

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

They are just in their early twenties but are in charge of a workforce of about seven million — bees that is.

“We’re enjoying their product, we’re enjoying all the crops, the blueberries and cranberries, all these things that bees do for us, yet people don’t give respect to these animals that are doing it for us,” Varona said.

And their mission is to change people’s mindset on these buzzing insects and appreciate how bees contribute to food production.

People, nature depend on bees

Mack Nielsen, who grew up in east Richmond, decided at the age of 17 to make bees his life’s work. At 21, he and his friends, Michael Lau and Marcel Varona, are tending their beehives, sending them to farms to have them pollinate blueberry and cranberry ﬁelds, and, at the end of the season, shipping them off to Alberta to make 30 metric tonnes of clover honey, yielding about 30,000 jars of the sweet nectar which they market under their brand Jive Honey. In four years, they have gone from tending 10 hives to having 750 hives. About

Mack Nielsen checks out his bees at his No. 7 Road family farm. Maria Rantanen photo 100 of them — with about a million bees — are kept at their No. 7 Road headquarters, Nielsen’s family farm where he grew up. The rest are located on farmers’ ﬁelds to help pollinate them. While they are self-described entrepre-

In fact, 75 per cent of crops — and one in three bites of food people take — depend on bees, explained Lora Morandin, who has been studying pollinators for 20 years and is currently the Western Canada program director of Pollinator Partnership Canada. But natural environments are also highly dependent on bees — 90 per cent need pollinators for survival. Pesticides, habitat loss and disease, however, are causing bee populations to decline. While honey bees, originally imported from Europe in 1622, are important for

large-scale agriculture, there are 800 species of native bees that have adapted to local climates over thousands of years. Native bees need a diverse source of pollen and nectar — native ﬂowering plants that produce nectar at different times. But there are simple things people can do to help conserve bees, Morandin explained: plant wildﬂowers, don’t use pesticides — and mow less. A messy looking garden instead of a “perfectly pristine” one might be better for bee conservation, Morandin said. “What do some wooded areas around your place look like, can we replicate that a little bit in our yards?” she added.

Morandin challenged people to think “just a little bit more deeply” about what they are planting to support pollinators. She’d like to see native plants everywhere — even just along roadsides. “If you plant it, they will come — for now,” she said. Search Jive Honey for full story at Richmond-News.com

Three young Richmond athletes did remarkably well in the recent, virtual BC Trampoline and Tumbling Championships. Brooklyn Lee-Mcmeeken, Mariama Camara-Booth and Arden Shukyn were competing under the Ironwood-based Richmond Wayland Sports Gymnastics banner. Brooklyn, despite being age 11, won the overall National Trampoline & Tumbling 2021 BC Championship award for the overall highest score out of everyone in the national level category.

To get there, Brooklyn placed ﬁrst on tumbling and double mini trampoline and placed second on trampoline within the level 6 category. “She is only 11, so winning this award is truly remarkable considering there are others (males and females) that are 17+ years old in the competition,” said Ariana Gomes, assistant head coach and recreational program director for the club. Mariama, meanwhile, placed ﬁrst on

double mini trampoline and second on tumbling. She also placed seventh overall in the championships. Arden placed ﬁfth on the double mini trampoline and third on tumbling.

host a seminar on May 19 for immigrants hoping to “upskill” or “reskill” for another career.

“Upgrading skills could be a great way to become more employable, and now seems to be the perfect time to learn something new,” said Queenie

Choo, of Success, an immigration settlement organization. Participants will learn what job prospects are currently available and how to prepare themselves so they can enroll in some high-demand programs, such as dental assistant, health-

care assistant, early childhood education, IT technicians, greenhouse technicians and more, added Choo. Those interested can register online at http ps:/ //bit.lyy/3uQzp pIt. —Nono Shen/ Richmond News

Handsome Hedwig originally came from the Quesnel SPCA where he was surrendered by his owners after he wasn’t getting along well with the baby in the home. Hedwig is a sweet boy who can be a little shy at first but accepts gentle pets and nice cheek scratches.

Could the meds you need to take be leading to Dementia?

Introduction

I occasionally write about medical issues. Now in the midst of recovery from a recent Hip Replacement operation, I came upon an article from the Good Times magazine, about Acetylcholine. This chemical is in our bodies naturally, and acts as a neurotransmitter. It plays a wide range of roles in our brains and bodies. In our nervous systems, the release of Acetylcholine (by motor neurons) activates our muscles. In our brains, Acetylcholine functions also as a neuromodulator. That is, Acetylcholine affects our arousal, attention, memory and motivation. It is generally abundant in our bodies and brains. It helps us focus, learn and memorize. It helps support muscle contractions, it helps us sleep and arouse ourselves. It facilitates the release of dopamine and serotonin. It is possible to have an imbalance of Acetylcholine. Supplements are not available, however, you can take nutrients (including consumption of certain foods) to boost the production of Acetylcholine. However, there is more that is, in my view, worth knowing about this important chemical. The catch There are certain medications many of us take, that affect the ability of Acetylcholine to perform its functions within us. Studies appear to show that some of these medications (both prescribed and over the counter) that affect Acetylcholine performance can ultimately increase our risk of contracting Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Medications such as Benadryl (antihistamine), Trazodone (sleeping), Tramadol (Pain relief), Paroxetine (depression) and Oxybutynin (incontinence) all can affect our Acetylcholine performance. These medications, among others, are sometimes referred to as anticholinergic drugs. To this list, you can add Hypertension Drugs. If you are taking a medication to control blood pressure (the latest statistics show that 25% of adult Canadians are affected in some way by high blood pressure), chances are that it will have some effect on the Acetylcholine in your body and brain. As we age, our kidneys and liver fade in their abilities to process the medications we take, so we may feel new side effects from the medications, even if we have been taking them for some years. Research The magazine article describes the “growing body of research” that suggests that these medications may increase dementia risk. One of the studies involved 284,000 British adults, all over 55 years of age. Of those who had been taking a strong anticholinergic daily for three years, the incidence of Dementia was 49% higher. Of course, the issue then becomes whether it is possible to reduce the medication the adult is now taking that creates the Dementia risk. Depending what medication any particular individual may be taking, an appointment with either their Doctor or Pharmacist may be helpful. With the objective being a reduction in the risky medication they are taking now, a review of all the medications, consideration of alternatives or substitutes will be important. If Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease is genetic in your family, a medication review would probably be useful. Conclusions More research is needed in this area of medications we take that may affect our risk of Dementia. Between Hypertension medication, Antidepressant medication, Antihistamine and Sleeping medication, I expect we cover most of our population. Those medications tend to block the performance of Acetylcholine. It may not be so noticeable in younger people but with age, seemingly it becomes more pronounced. I wonder whether a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia is always “permanent” or whether a change of the patient’s medication might, at least in some cases, change the diagnosis. Middle age and older adults should, when they can, consult with their medical advisors and determine whether an adjustment to their medication group can be made, in order to reduce their risk of contracting these formidable, life changing diseases.

Volunteers Are Stars Awards winners announced Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond non-proﬁt has announced the winners of this year’s Volunteers Are Stars Awards in a virtual ceremony to commemorate National Volunteer Week. Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG), a charity that encourages philanthropy and volunteering, held its annual celebration online on April 21 to celebrate the city’s volunteers. Despite the digital format for the celebration, nearly 70 people attended the event with a “huge sense of appreciation” among the attendees, according to Ryan Luetzen, RCRG spokesperson. “The past year, of course, has been challenging, and volunteers have played an important role in keeping our community connected,” said Luetzen. This year, three individuals and one group were presented awards. Nova Star Award Jat Puri is this year’s recipient for the Nova Star Award,

which recognizes individual volunteers whose contributions go above and beyond in Richmond. Puri’s volunteer experience includes volunteering with youth in the RCRG Youth Now program, supporting seniors alongside other RCRG board of directors, training volunteers for YVR’s Green Coat program, and supporting families living with AIDS through the Heart of Richmond AIDS Society. Constellation Award Having worked tirelessly during the pandemic, the recipient of this award goes to the Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives Shopping Volunteers. This group has not only provided food deliveries to seniors, but have also built social connection and offered a sense of comfort for those who have been unable to see their families during COVID-19. The volunteers help local seniors and clients with long-term health problems maintain their independence and remain in their homes for as long as possible. Shooting Star Award This award honours volunteers under 25. Rishika Selvakumar, 19, has accumulated more than 9,000 hours

of volunteer work and was chosen for her work in helping reduce stigma and raise awareness to support those struggling with mental health issues. She has volunteered at the Richmond Olympic Oval and is a co-lead for the Anxiety Canada Youth Network, where she creates safe spaces for mental health discussions. Selvakumar has also created opportunities for youth through science and technology (STEM) and arts initiatives and provides young people skills to overcome their personal challenges. Star of Richmond Richmond volunteers who have dedicated countless hours of service are given this award. This year’s recipient, Jean Garnett, showed her dedication and involvement in the community for over 30 years with countless hours of volunteering with school children to seniors. She has volunteered with the Canadian Federation of University Women, expanded scholarship programs for Richmond students, has helped lead Third Age Learning at Kwantlen, represented on parent advisory councils and has advocated for greater recognition for the arts community as a board member with the Richmond Arts Coalition.

Indo-Canadian leader recognized

PUZZLE ANSWER IN CLASSIFIEDS

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Asa Singh Johal and Kashmir Kaur Johal receive their honour.

One of the leaders in Richmond’s IndoCanadian community has been recognized by his peers. Asa Singh Johal, 98, — described as a “great pioneer, industrialist and philanthropist” — and his wife, Kashmir Kaur Johal, were presented with a plaque by the management committee of India Cultural Centre of Canada on No. 5 Road. Roots of the Indo-Canadian community in Canada go back more than 130 years and pioneers such as the Johals have made a commendable contribution to the growth and development of the country. Asa, who came to Canada in the mid1920s as a toddler with his parents from India, quit school and started working in the lumber industry as a 14-year-old.

Over the years, with hard work, perseverance and dedication, he managed to establish a formidable lumber enterprise — Terminal Forest Products Ltd — on Richmond’s Mitchell Island, providing employment to thousands of people over the years. In that time, the couple has donated millions of dollars to public institutions including UBC and Richmond Hospital and were founders and major donors of the India Cultural Centre of Canada Gurdwara Nanak Niwas on Richmond’s Highway to Heaven.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

FUNERAL SERVICES

Mother’s Day Virtual Memorial Service ELLIOTT, Kenneth Roy October 26, 1958 − February 1, 2021 It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Kenneth Roy Elliott on February 1, 2021. Ken was born in Vancouver, where he attended Windermere High School and spent his life outdoors, in his youth through Boy Scouts in the 130th Carlton Boy Scout Troop, then onto teaching others through Outward Bound in Pemberton and the Mission Outdoor school. He continued his conservationist life working with London Heritage Farm, Salmon Fest, and Steveston Farmer’s Market. Ken was also a part of Scribes RFC, RBFA, and TCC Dragoneers Dragon Boat Team. He also enjoyed paddling and was an avid canoer, camper, hiker, and skier. Ken was a friendly guy. If you needed help with anything, he was there to lend a helping hand, never expecting anything in return. Ken was well educated in Military History, Horticulture, and Food Preservation. Ken was employed with the City of Richmond in the Parks Department, and occasionally in Water and Urban Forestry where he enjoyed and took pride in his work. Ken is predeceased by his parents, Cecil and Eva; sisters, Sandra Sims and Carol Cameron; and brother, Gordon Elliott. Ken leaves behind many friends and family, from the City of Richmond, RBFA, TCC Dragoneers, Salmon Fest, Scribes RFC, the Steveston Community, and 130th Carlton. Surviving family including his son, Benjamin; sisters, Donna Nolan (Wayne), Heather Elliott (Steve Parks), and Tracey Lloyd (Brian); brothers, Lee Elliott and Brian Elliott (Ellen); ex−wife and friend, Tonii; as well as many nieces and nephews, who will all miss him dearly. He may be gone, but will never be forgotten. So fill to me a parting glass, Goodnight, and joy be with you all. A memorial will be held at a later date.

LOBREAU, Faye Viola September 8, 1937 - April 21, 2021

She is survived by her five sons, Maurice (Monica), David (Kerry), Greg, Darryn (Yasmine), and Kenny (Michelle); her daughter Michelle; her two stepsons Keith and Kevin; her grandchildren Corey, Mitchell, Mathew, Lindsay, Bret, Halle, Whitney, Brock, Haley, Addison, Graydon and Reece. Also, her great grandchildren Annika, Elsie, Jaedyn, Rhylan, and Pearson (due in July). And, her 2 sisters Barb and Lorna as well as many other children she raised along the way! Faye will be missed by all her friends she touched along her journey, especially at Thompson Community Centre.

She was a nanny to all. Heaven has gained another angel and abundance of homemade buns. Funeral arrangements will be at a later date.
