Daycare enters Onni fight ALANCAMPBELL
Staff Reporter
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A
nother fight is brewing between Richmond city council and Onni Group — only this time, the developer is on the outside of the ring looking in. The protagonists in this bout, are the owners of Steveston-based Generation Daycare, Mike and Agnes Lewis, and their parent clientele. The daycare owners were given notice in April by their landlord at their current site on 12320 Trites Road, just southwest of No. 2 Road and Moncton Street, that they
needed to vacate on Sept. 30, as the site was being demolished ahead of a bid to rezone from light industrial to residential to allow 30 single-family units to be built. Since then, Mike and Agnes have been scouring the community for a replacement site and have been working with City of Richmond staff on finding a new location that would allow them to continue to offer before- and after-school care. And when city staff “surprisingly” directed them towards Onni and its many vacant Imperial Landing rental properties on Bayview Street on Steveston’s waterfront, Mike thought he was onto a winner. “Knowing the history between Onni and the city, I was surprised (the city suggested
Onni), and I didn’t want to get into the middle of their fight; but I was told ‘maybe you should give them a call’ and was given the numbers for Onni,” said Mike. “And as there seems to be no other space in Steveston and even the closest ones — at Steveston Highway and No. 5 Road and at Westminster (Highway) and No. 2 Road — are unsuitable on many levels, I thought I might as well contact Onni.” Onni and city council have been at loggerheads for more than 10 years over the Mixed Maritime Use (MMU) zoning at the site, which the developer has been trying in vain to amend to allow for non-maritime businesses to rent their properties.

Dang warns about going ‘Donald Trump’ GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
Chinese-only help wanted sign crosses the line for some
GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A
property manager who recently erected a Chinese-only sign on No. 3 Road, to seek managers for a new wholesale food warehouse said he, as well as the company, didn’t think to include English, or any other language for that matter. “We haven’t thought about that before,” said Jesse Chung, who said he worked for WTM, a property management firm. After community activist Kerry Starchuk — who petitioned for bilingual signage throughout Richmond in 2013 — raised concerns on her Facebook page Changing Richmond Neighbourhoods, the Richmond News contacted Chung by calling the number listed on the sign, which has since been removed for a non-language related bylaw infraction. The News relayed the numerous concerns that such signage was preventing non-Chinese speaking citizens from accessing jobs. “When we put up the sign, we just wanted

to ask those interested person. I think I got your meaning that if people don’t speak Chinese, you don’t know what is advertised,”
said Chung, adding, “Our first priority is to find the right people. At very first we just thought about putting up a Chinese sign.” The site in question is the old Pet Culture building. Starchuk said this is yet another example of exclusive signage in Richmond’s Chinese community. “We need to understand one another. Now that I know it’s for hiring people, it is probably worse than the real estate signs because people need jobs,” said Starchuk. Last year, the City of Richmond held a round of public consultation on Chinese signage. Council decided not to enact a bylaw mandating English. Since 2012, the city noted just 4.5 per cent of regulated signs were non-English (although to be considered bilingual a sign needn’t be fully translated). Starchuk said the issue has expanded to other areas. She has taken issue with not just city-regulated business signs, but real estate construction billboards and advertising on
buses, transit shelters and leaflets. The city is in the midst of preparing a “clutter bylaw,” which would eliminate many ads in storefront windows. A new sign bylaw inspector has recently started a one-year term. Starchuk said the situation has yet to be resolved and complaint-driven action is not working. Coun. Derek Dang said otherwise, citing the city’s education efforts. Dang, a liaison for the city’s economic advisory committee, said he wasn’t sure if such signage could have an impact on the local economy and job opportunities. Dang called it a “complex” issue that requires “some thought in handling this without insulting either side,” and without going “Donald Trump” on the matter. Coun. Chak Au, said he was “very concerned” but did not think the sign represented an escalation of any sorts. See Translation page 4
Owner says it's the only viable space in the area From page 1 There is, however, an education component to the MMU zoning and the daycare owners and Onni, according to Mike, came to an agreement to rent the 5,600 square foot space. And, in order to comply with the MMU education component, Generation Daycare was going to rebrand with a maritime theme and incorporate Steveston’s maritime heritage into its programs. Unfortunately, according to the city, it wasn’t enough to meet the zoning’s educational standards, which states any programing must be a K-12 program licenced under the School Act. As such, Generation’s business license application for the Onni site was denied and the owners, along with several of their parent customers, will present their case in person at an appeal hearing in front of mayor and council on June 27. “We totally rebranded, changed our logo to call it the Generation Maritime Centre and were willing to do things that brought Steveston’s maritime heritage into our programs,” explained Mike. “Things such as bringing people in to do talks on the history, for example. “But it was felt that it didn’t fall enough under the educational component of the zoning; their definition of education falls under the School Act. We’re a learning centre, which doesn’t fall under the Act.
“But we’ve been doing a little bit of research, and many businesses in Steveston have had amendments to their zoning.” Ahead of next week’s make-or-break appeal at city hall, Agnes has been busy working on an improved business plan, steeped even more in Steveston’s maritime history, in a desperate bid to convince city council to make a concession for the 50 or so Homma elementary families that rely on their service. “It’s a reasonable rent for the space and we would be able to take on more children from wait lists that already exist in the area,” Agnes told the Richmond News on Monday. “We’re going to present (council) with a new business plan; with more maritime heritage education in the programing, including maritime field trips. The parents and children are going to be there also and will likely have something to say. “It’s kind of (our last hope). It’s the only viable space in the area; everything else is already leased out or is unsuitable. “The only other thing we can hope for is, if our current site is developed, the city makes the developer build a daycare for us to go in there, but that could be years down the line.” City council, added Agnes, has to “consider the effect saying ‘no’ will have on the community. “They’ve made adjustments to other business zonings across the city, but not for us with Onni.” City spokesperson Ted Townsend said
n Generation Daycare’s Mike and Agnes Lewis will be asking city council to overturn the denial of their bid to open at the Onni site at Steveston.
Generation’s business licence application was denied because the use they proposed, child care, is not permitted under the existing zoning. “Staff does not have authority to override the bylaw definition,” said Townsend in an email to the News. As of Tuesday, the daycare has collected about 350 e-signatures on a petition, urging the city to relax the rules. Kevin Skipworth, whose eight-year-old son goes to the daycare, said it’s time for city council to put the parents and children first. “This is childcare that needs to be provided in Steveston and it’s going to leave parents struggling to put their children into daycare,”
said Skipworth on Tuesday. “The city has the ability to relax that part of the zoning. I’ve been looking through development permits for the last few years in Steveston and there has been in the region of 200 to 250 new developments; that’s a lot of people and a lot of children and things have to change. “There’s no space in Steveston, other than the Onni site. It fits and it’s not as if there needs to be a rezoning.” Generation, said Skipworth, doesn’t just do before and after-school care, “they take the kids for the whole of July, pro-D days, some of Christmas and spring break. “For all the parents that are both working or can’t afford to put their kids into expensive camps in the summer and holidays, this is a vital service. “Council has the power to deal with this; they have to deal with this.” Skipworth added that, should Generation’s bid to move into the Imperial Landing site be refused after appeal, he has no back-up plan for childcare in the fall. “This is the only elementary age daycare in the area that takes kids to and from school; the others have waiting lists,” he said. “Who knows, we may have to look at leaving the area.” Onni’s Brendan Yee said he wasn’t authorized to comment. No one else from the company contacted the News by press time.

T
he City of Richmond has filed a court application to put down the pit-bull involved in a biting incident last week. The Richmond News reported last week how, according to police, the 15-month-old dog, named Hugo, “mauled” the face of a 56-year-old woman, who was visiting her friend’s home in south Richmond. The victim had to undergo emergency facial surgery and was released from hospital soon after. However, the woman in charge of the dog, Vafa Nejad, claimed the entire incident was an accident, as Hugo was simply going after a strap hanging from the woman’s handbag. On Tuesday, the city said that, in light of the dog owner — officially Nejad’s son — refusing to sign an agreement to have Hugo put to sleep, a petition has been filed at Richmond Provincial Court for an order for destruction of the pit-bull. “We feel the dog poses an ongoing threat to public safety and that euthanization is necessary to prevent the possibility of future attacks by this animal,” said city spokesman Ted Townsend in an email to the News. “Provincial legislation prescribes our action at this point. Without voluntary agreement by the owner, our only legal option to proceed is to seek (the order).” The next step, added Townsend, is to get a court date set. When heard in court, the judge has a
variety of options, such as agreeing with the euthanization, rejecting the application outright, or alternatives, such as more training for the dog and owner, additional conditions on controlling the dog or removing the dog from the existing home/owner. At any time, said Townsend, the dog owner has the option of voluntarily complying with the city’s proposed action, negating the need for a court hearing. An emotional Nejad, however, told the News on Tuesday, that the family would be fighting the city in court to save Hugo’s life. “He’s part of the family,” she said, adding that they’re in talks with the University of B.C. student lawyer service. Nejad told the Richmond News last week how she and her son were warned two months ago by the City of Richmond after Hugo bit their landlord. She claimed her dog is a “very friendly puppy, who just doesn’t know his strength.” And she claimed that last week’s victim and her daughter have already called the city to explain that the incident was an accident and are pleading not to have Hugo put down. Hugo, a 15-month-old pit-bull terrier, remains at RAPS shelter, following the incident. The family had questioned the right of the police to seize Hugo at the time of the incident. However, Richmond RCMP made it clear that they were only there in a public safety capacity and it was the city’s bylaw officer who took possession of Hugo. Townsend said the city is “satisfied that the dog was seized appropriately.”
Translation services declined From page 3 Au said the sign was less “debatable” than a restaurant sign because it sought employees. The Richmond Chamber of Commerce, when reached
for comment, stated it had offered the company translation services. The company declined. The chamber had no comment on the economic implications for such signage. Chung said Friday he
would have the wholesale company contact the News for further explanation. The company failed to contact the newspaper by Tuesday. Starchuk said the sign has generated lots of negative reaction.

Polygon gives in to line, again Developer claims to not know why some line up Graeme Wood

“something may be happening” on Saturday. They brought lawn chairs and slept in their car Friday night. The man said the couple had savings and wasn’t too concerned about the $1.4 million price tag for a fourbedroom, 1,700-square-foot townhouse. “Why not! I have a friend who bought a townhouse (elsewhere), an end unit, and it’s gone up $200,000” in a short period of time, he said. Four young people played Mahjong, a Chinese board game similar to rummy. A young man at the table, in his early 20s, said he was waiting in line for a friend. According to nearby resident Mario Raposo, who had initially been interested in a unit, the lineup formed before Polygon publically announced another sale would begin. He described the process as “an utter gong show.” Raposo said “the right thing
to have done” would have been to leave Saturday as a preview date, as Polygon’s initial email had stated and then “announce the future sales date where everyone on the priority list has a chance at the homes (or a chance to be one of the first ones in line).” Chrystal said Polygon isn’t used to lineups and “this is not the normal way of doing business.” He said Polygon “adjusted our plans on the fly” and he didn’t know why people began lining up the second time. Chrystal suggested that realtors had speculated to those in the lineup that sales could commence. Polygon ended up selling 29 homes, after having already sold 30 the week prior. That’s just about half of the 121 homes sold prior to any scheduled sale date, which members of the public had signed up via email to receive notifications.

A
nother apparent impromptu lineup formed late last week at Kingsley Estates — a new townhouse development at the former Steveston High site on No. 2 Road — leaving developer Polygon Homes with no other choice but to begin selling more units on Saturday, according to the company’s president and CEO Neil Chrystal. “Once you have people starting to line up, you can’t have them wait to line up and not buy anything,” said Chrystal. The lineup began last Thursday afternoon and by Friday had twisted around the corner, on to the sidewalk. Saturday had been earmarked as an open house preview, after Polygon had sold 30 homes the week prior after the first lineup formed, sparking anger and frustration in the community. Many prospective homeowners in Friday’s lineup were tight-lipped when the Richmond News asked how they had heard about the sale of homes. “I don’t want to say anything,” said a young man in his mid-20s, when asked basic questions about how and why he was in line. One middle-age couple from Aldergrove said they heard from a realtor that

former Richmond Mountie involved in the death of Robert Dziekanski has filed a lawsuit against the RCMP, claiming negligence and harassment. Const. Bill Bentley was one of four officers called to YVR in October 2007 to deal with Polish immigrant Dziekanski, who died as a result of his interaction with police. Bentley, last week, filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court against the Attorney General of Canada and B.C.’s justice minister. The suit claims Bentley initially received support from the RCMP commissioner shortly after the incident, but the support faded soon afterwards. It’s alleged that the RCMP misman-

All the officers were subsequently charged with perjury for allegedly colluding and giving false testimony at a public inquiry into Dziekanski’s death. In 2013, Bentley was acquitted, but, so says his claim, the RCMP’s handling of the entire case has had serious psychological impacts on Bentley. The court documents also detail how Bentley was diagnosed with chronic post-traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder in June 2010. Bentley has not returned to active duty with the RCMP and he claims his career has been “effectively destroyed.” He does not specify how much compensation he’s seeking. Const. Gerry Rundel, another officer involved that night, filed a similar suit in March, also claiming RCMP negligence and harassment.

aged the flow of information in the case and, thus, created among the general public a perception of wrongdoing by the Mounties, including allowing Bentley to become a “scapegoat” for criticism. The lawsuit claims that, “Throughout the ordeal, the plaintiff has been a loyal member of the RCMP and has been prevented from publicly defending himself to the wrongful allegations about him by both the RCMP and the media as a result of his oaths and orders received from superior officers.” On that fateful night at the airport, four Mounties faced Dziekanski when the Polish immigrant was repeatedly stunned with a Taser and died. The claims made in the court documents have not been proven in court and a statement of defence has yet to be filed.
O
ne of the bodies found in Richmond last week has been identified as a 26-yearold man. Police revealed on Friday that the body found last Monday wrapped in a sleeping bag on the banks of the north arm of the Fraser River, near Milltown Marina, is that
of Richmond man Justin Pauwat Chan. And following an autopsy, Vancouver Police (although the area is technically in Richmond, it’s partly serviced by Vancouver) said that the circumstances surrounding Chan’s death were suspicious. However, the VPD has indicated that Chan was targeted and there’s no threat
to public safety. Anyone with information is asked to call the VPD Major Crime Section at 604-7172500 or Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 1-800-2228477. Meanwhile, Richmond RCMP has yet to release any information about the body that was pulled from the south arm of the Fraser River last Tuesday, June 7.
Mounties had been called after a report of a body seen floating in the river, near the Massey Tunnel. According to police, the body was recovered with the help of Canadian Coast Guard. Information on the sex or approximate age of the body is not yet known, along with whether or not there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
City Scene The Need for Port Accountability By Malcolm Brodie Mayor A major threat to our community vision surrounds the purchase of the 239-acre Gilmore Farm obtained by the Port of Vancouver in 2008. Characterizing this east-Richmond farm as “insurance” should there be the need for more Port-related industrial land, the Port’s Board has repeatedly refused to meet with our City Council to even discuss the challenge posed by industrial encroachment on farmland. This issue could fundamentally change the face of Richmond. Though the Province has verbally expressed their expectation that the Port respect the requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission, the Port CEO was once quoted as saying, “I don’t think we would be bound (by the Agricultural Land Reserve). As a federal body here at Port Metro Vancouver, we have supremacy”. Richmond has long been a strong supporter of industry. Leaders in the region, we have 1.5 jobs for every worker in the City. Port activity is a significant contributor to those jobs and remains a key national economic generator. Until 2008, Richmond’s Port activity was governed by two separate authorities that each enjoyed a positive working relationship with the City. Yet, since amalgamating with the Vancouver Authority to form a single regional Port, we have witnessed a dramatic change. The Port’s governing structure mostly favours its industrial users. Only a single Board Director out of eleven is appointed to represent all the local municipalities in which the Port City of Richmond | 6911 No. 3 Rd. Richmond BC V6Y 2C1 | Tel: 604-276-4000
www.richmond.ca
operates. As the Port focuses on growth in operations, impacts felt by local communities and our regional environment too often seem to be ignored. The Port’s purchase of this farm provides a compelling case study. The land is designated for agricultural use within the Provincial ALR, Richmond’s OCP and Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy. Yet, it obviously remains a target for future Port industrial expansion. Although there appears to be sufficient vacant or underutilized industrial land in the region, the Port seems to have its eye on farmland as being cheaper to purchase and more expedient to develop. The Port also has ignored suggestions to shift new growth to other coastal or inland ports, even though this would support its mandate. Using prime farmland for Port expansion detracts from local long-term food security and sustainability. Unfortunately, the Port seems to believe that food security depends only on the amount of food that is imported on ships. To work more openly and effectively for the citizens being served, the Port Board should: • Meet soon with Richmond City Council; • Sell the Gilmore Farm back to the farm community; and • Work with various cities to pinpoint appropriate industrial lands. These simple actions would be a good place to start and all parties would benefit.

Expose expenses: Day Graeme Wood
Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com
V
eteran city councillor Bill McNulty had choice words for first-term colleague Carol Day, after she asked to have council’s personal expenses detailed publicly to improve transparency. “I resent the fact that Coun. Day thinks she’d like to be the hero to put this out,” said McNulty, who actually went on to support Day’s motion despite stating, “The way we report (expenses) is fine. McNulty said each councillor should be responsible for explaining his nor her own expenses to the public, when asked. Day had asked council to amend an annual report on councillor salaries, benefits and expenses. She wanted detailed expenses, not a lump sum, as reported by staff. Day said doing so is part of council “fulfilling our fiduciary responsibility. “The public would be very interested in knowing that these expenses, especially for those of us who are new on council, are for attending professional training,” said Day. In her amendment, seconded by Coun. Chak Au, Day said medical benefits should be left out of a detailed report, as such items are private. McNulty disagreed. “I think we should put the benefits down, as well. If we’re going to be transparent — between Couns. Day and Au — then let’s be transparent,” said McNulty, who went on to state that he’s always defended any of his own expenses. During the discussion period McNulty, a
retired school counsellor, went into further details by noting he had given up his own holiday time to travel to Japan two years in a row to procure the tall ship Kaiwo Maru, for next year’s Canada 150 celebrations next May. “I don’t think our expenses have ever been hidden,” said McNulty, who had the most expenses in 2015 because of the Japan trip. The trip was not costed in details publicly, but the Richmond News learned it cost taxpayers just over $13,000 to send McNulty to Japan, including an unscheduled trip to Okinawa, which, according to McNulty, was to research pool facilities. This year’s trip, with a staff member, cost $30,000. The report showed Day had $5,024 in expenses, the third most after McNulty and Coun. Alexa Loo ($5,985). Coun. Derek Dang had the lowest 2015 expenses, at $141. Couns. Dang and Harold Steves and Mayor Malcolm Brodie voted against the motion. After the meeting, Steves said, via Twitter, there was little point to providing details on such little money (he had about $2,000 in expenses). “Just ask,” said Steves. The report showed Brodie’s annual salary is now $127,728 while each councillor earns $58,073 per year (2015 had one extra pay period). In 2015, former Couns. Evelina HalseyBrandt and Linda Barnes were paid $62,579 and $68,953, respectively, for a retirement allowance.

LGBTQ snub is city’s blemish Dear Editor, Re; “Invisibility — a form of bullying,” Voices, June 10. Unfortunately, there is latent homophobia in Richmond and the comments from the editor, Eve Edmonds, highlights it very clearly. Every school district in the Lower Mainland, with the exception of Coquitlam and Richmond, has a gay/straight alliance club within its schools. They also have clearly articulated policies regarding gender discrimination. The reason why Richmond doesn’t need such a policy, according to Richmond trustees other than Sandra Nixon, is because we already have an anti-bullying policy that applies to everyone. However, as Edmonds points out, the district does specify factors such as race and religion as part of the Human Rights Code. This exposes a bias on the part of Richmond’s board of education, which appears to care more
about the ideology of some parents than the comfort and safety of all students. The rainbow picture on the Richmond News’ website, of the notice put up by the BC Teachers’ Federation stating, “This is a safe place for LGBTQ people,” shows that inclusivity in our Richmond schools is going to be driven from the bottom up, by teachers and students, not from the top down, by trustees. This sad situation is directly related to the steadfast lack of any acknowledgement from Richmond City Hall of Gay Pride Week, which is celebrated in other municipalities throughout the Lower Mainland. Even Abbotsford, the heart of the “Bible Belt,” has a Gay Pride Parade during this special week, highlighting the LGBTQ community. Yet, here in Richmond, no rainbow flag, no proclamation from city hall welcoming everybody to help celebrate this special time
n This rainbow picture was put up by the BC Teachers’ Federation.
and declaring our city an inclusive place for all people. Canada, B.C. and especially the Lower Mainland have always been on the vanguard of including minorities of every persuasion.
It is a blemish on Richmond`s reputation that we continue to leave out in the cold the LGBTQ community. Alan Halliday Richmond
Chamber hails flood plan
Dear Editor, The Richmond Chamber would like to commend the Fraser Basin Council for the launch of its Phase 1, Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy last week. This is a very important area of study which has massive implications for not just Richmond, but the entire Lower Fraser River region. The findings of this study echo the concerns of a report we launched, in partnership with 12 fellow chambers and boards of trade, stretching from Richmond to Hope, in 2014. (Available at richmondchamber. ca) As highlighted in both reports, the Lower Fraser River has the power to dramatically impact the Lower Mainland, for better or worse. The Fraser River is a driving force in Canada’s economy. And as a key economic corridor, the river must be properly managed and maintained to help ensure continuing economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. The economic impact on the provincial and national economy from a significant flood would be enormous. According to the Fraser Basin Council’s most recent estimates, losses would be in the $20-30 billion dollar range, making it the most damaging natural disaster in our nation’s history. The reality is that this amount of damage
n News columnist Nadine Jones, left, met the late, great Duke Ellington. n This illustration shows the devastating effects on Richmond from a major flood.
would greatly outstrip the capital and maintenance costs of a preventative, long-term flood management plan. The Richmond Chamber applauds this proactive initiative of the Fraser Basin Council and its partners, to better understand “the state of flood protection infrastructure, policies and practices across the region” and looks forward to supporting phase 2, “to develop a regional strategy and action plan, including recommendations for a secure, sustainable funding model.” Rob Akimow Chair Richmond Chamber of Commerce (Rob Akimow is also the Richmond News’ director of advertising)
Brush with celeb evokes memories Dear Editor, Re: “The night I met Duke Ellington,” Voices, June 10. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Nadine Jones article. Not only did the story bring back memories of growing up in Vancouver during the 1970s, it also reminded me of my own chance encounters with visiting celebrities, many of whom were filming here. To paraphrase Andy Warhol, we all have our “15 minutes of fame” and I thank Nadine for sharing hers! Daniel Jordan Richmond
Bike owners: Beware of thieves Dear Editor, To all the bike owners out there: I grew up in Richmond, and if there is one thing I know, it’s that this is a prime place for bike thefts. So, I was not entirely shocked when my one-year old Specialized
Crosstrail was stolen outside of the Safeway on Williams and No. 3 Road. I purchased my bike believing that I was investing in something that would last me, only to disregard spending money to protect this asset.
I am writing this post to urge all bike owners to lock up your bikes with a high quality lock! I naively assumed that my U-bar lock was decently strong, only to learn (after it was too late) that it only contains minimal metal and is easily cut by thieves.
With summer approaching and the sun making more frequent appearances, bike thieves are at their prime. Let’s stop making it easy for them! Elianne Abramovich Richmond

LETTERSto the Editor
It's your duty to stop Dear Editor, On Sunday, I had the displeasure of witnessing an altercation between an SUV and a cyclist in the crosswalk at No. 1 Road and Garry Street. While three lanes of traffic managed to stop at the flashing lights, the fourth driver heading north in the curb lane decided it would be better to drift through, completely ignoring everything around them. Luckily, the cyclist was walking his bike so the collision was minor. What disturbs me more than yet another incident at this intersection is the fact that none of the drivers who stopped — and obviously witnessed the accident — chose to remain at the scene and assist.
If it weren’t for a neighbour and myself who happened to be in our yards at the time, the young cyclist would have been left to fend for himself, in shock, with a very uncooperative driver, who could not produce a driver’s licence and refused to give a phone number. This lack of engagement by the other drivers is sad and disappointing. If you are a witness to a traffic accident, no matter how minor, take the time to offer assistance, provide your contact information, and take a few notes or photos yourself. It only takes a few minutes and can make all the difference in settling a complex claim. Reilly Montgomery Steveston
Steveston warms the heart Dear Editor, My high opinion of Steveston has climbed even higher. Recently, on two occasions, I went to the Prickly Pear asking for a favour. It required a few minutes of their time, but they granted my request with a smile. The other day, I drove to the Red Colt Equestrian Farm, asking for another favour. Again, I was promptly helped out. I’ve concluded

that there has to be something about the place that sweetens the nature of the people. Perhaps, it’s the fact that Steveston retains a bit of the charm of a small town, with vestiges of an almost rural aspect along its eastern edge. Whatever the answer, the experiences warmed my heart.

ARTSin the City Photographer captures the calm of the Fraser River PHILIPRAPHAEL Staff Reporter
PRAPHAEL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
S
erenity. It’s the word Steveston photographer Kerri-Jo Stewart thinks of first when asked to describe the set of images making up an exhibit of her work titled The Fraser which is part of her exploring Steveston series. “It’s the colours and the lines. It just presents a calm and peaceful setting,” said the international award-winner who snapped the pictures during one of her Steveston photographic walk events. n Kerri-Jo Stewart “I’ve been living in Steveston for the past four years and have loved it from the very beginning.” This is Stewart’s first solo show, which runs at the Richmond City Hall Galleria from June 15 – Aug. 31. Viewing hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Stewart used long exposures and intentional camera movement (ICM) to create an impact in the images.
In her project statement for the photos, Stewart wrote, “The long exposure allows more light to get through the lens and brings out colours that exist in the scene but may not be visible with a glance. “ICM blurs the image as everything in the lens is recorded and here the vertical movement emphasizes the lines along the Fraser River and horizon as seen from Steveston.” The first images in the series are long exposures taken along the boardwalk and on Steveston pier. Stewart said the movement images were shot at different times of the day in order to capture the unique lighting periods, as well as movements along the river. In addition to that show, Stewart has been busy with her camera. In April, she returned from Turkmenistan in Central Asia, where she is an annual invitee to photograph the country’s Horse Day celebrations. Held on the last Sunday in April, it features equestrian fairs, exhibitions, dressage and a racing competition. She’s also up for an international award at the World Photographic Cup, an online competition that she’s been a part of as a nominee the past three years. The image Stewart has entered is named Surfacing and features a swimmer with the Richmond Kigoos club, who is about to break the surface of the water.
n One of the photos (above) from Steveston photographer Kerri-Jo Stewart’s latest show uses time lapse and camera movement to capture unique images of the Steveston waterfront. Stewart is also in the running for an international award for her photo (left) of a swimmer from the Richmond Kigoos Swim Club who is about to break to the surface during a recent meet.

Of Other Spaces: Colour, Light and Place: Meredith Aitken Merdith Aitken’s work on display at the Richmond Art Gallery (7700 Minoru Gate) draws upon her environment in a fragmented way, documenting the subtle shifts in light and colour, which define a place. As soon as a painting is finished, there is a disconnect from the place and its time of origin. It becomes something new in itself, separate in both time and space. Much of the work features Richmond scenery. Writer’s Critique Night The Richmond BC Writers Club invites you to their Writers’ Critique Group Richmond Public Library Ironwood Branch (11688 Steveston Highway) 7 – 8:30 p.m. This free event happens every third Wednesday of the month, when writers and poets share up to three pages of their creative writings and thoughts out loud. Everyone is welcome! Registration required. Register online at: YourLibrary.ca/events. For more information visit online at: YourLibrary.ca/events.

ver wonder what kind of impression you will have on the world around you for future generations to discover? The Richmond Cultural Centre will hope to answer that question with its latest exhibit called Leave Your Mark. Opening on June 23, it features, for perspective, a look at some historical legacies in the form of a wedding dress, a terra cotta warrior, the printing press and a player piano. It then fast-forwards to how today’s rapidly evolving technologies have created ways to leave different types of legacies with items such as vinyl records and digital music files. Museum visitors will be able to make their
mark on a graffiti wall, write their names using the Musqueam alphabet, take a surprising selfie in the gallery and post it to social media using the museum’s exhibition hashtag #LeaveYourMark, add their own landmarks to a map of Richmond, try their hand at calligraphy and dive into a variety of interactive activities in the Discovery Area. Leave Your Mark runs from June 23 to March 2017 at the Richmond Museum (7700 Minoru Gate) from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.

Sleuth series has 'killer' plot ARIANAGALEARO Book Club
I
read a lot of mysteries, but surprisingly I have not read anything by Jane Casey before. I’m not sure how I missed her over the years, but I am really glad I stumbled upon her books. The Kill is the fifth book in Jane Casey’s fantastic Maeve Kerrigan’s series. The books build upon each other, but you don’t necessarily need to read them in order. Maeve Kerrigan is a young DC (detective constable) in the Metropolitan Police in London. She is smart, ambitious and strong, but she is also vulnerable, temperamental and flawed. Her partner and senior officer, DI (detective inspector)Josh Derwent, is all rough edges, has the subtlety of sledgehammer, and has an unrepentant sexist approach that would have most women screaming in rage. Despite this, he grows on you and there is a fascinating chemistry between both characters that’s completely unexpected and just right. The Kill has a really intriguing plot. It all starts when a police officer is found shot in is car in a part in a secluded part of a city park. What was he doing there? Was he alone? Was he killed because of something in his personal life? Or could he have been attacked because of something he was working on?
If you’re 57+ recieve our posted interest rate plus an additional
These are the questions in Kerrigan and Derwent’s minds when they get another call: a second policeman is also found dead, and then another. Suddenly, the police go from being the protectors to needing protection, less they fall prey to a relentless and vicious cop killer. No one knows where or how the killer will strike again or have any clues on how to stop him. The pace of this book was just right with the perfect combination of mystery and character development. I loved how everything in the plot was connected. Looking back on it, I can see how all the clues were there in the smallest details pointing in the right direction, but it still left me guessing until the very end. I have no hesitation in recommending The Kill for fans of complex mysteries with a hearty dose of character development. Other similar mysteries you might enjoy are those by Robert Galbraith, Kelley Armstrong, Mo Hayder and Tess Gerritsen. Ariana Galeano is a librarian with the Richmond Public Library

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
170 - 7000 Minoru Blvd., Richmond BC V6Y 3Z5 604-279-7040 ı info@rscl.org ı www.rscl.org Our heartfelt thanks to our donors for making A Taste of India a success.
A taste of
by: Melanie Arnis, RSCL Board President
After a one year hiatus, one of our signature fundraisers, “A Taste of India”, returned on February 26th. This fundraiser has a rich history of bringing the community together for an evening of food, fun, and comedy. It has been a part of Richmond Society for Community Living for more than 15 years. The evening starts with tasty appetizers, and a chance to relax and socialize. It is also a time to peruse the selection of gifts ready to be bid on for the silent auction. The auction is not silent as the closing time nears, and people jostle to be the last bidder. The comedian this year was Ryan Decker. Ryan’s routine about Vancouver and our foibles was spot on, and everyone in the audience from the millennials to the boomers were laughing heartily. Ryan’s reasoning that Vancouverites don’t need to buy snow tires as we only need to stay home for the six hours we have winter, made the audience roar.
Other activities during the evening include a traditional dance by a self-advocate. Some of the audience give him money during his performance and he generously donates it to RSCL. We enjoy his exuberance and his generosity. An animated live auction is held too with the help from ADESA Auctioneers, with their services generously donated also. There are prizes of hockey tickets, jerseys, hotel stays and luxury car rentals. They are donated by both corporations and individuals that support RSCL. John and Marc are amazing as they motivate the audience to purchase these wonderful prizes. This year’s event raised over $10,000. The
money raised is going to fund Richmond’s first Snoezelen Room. A Snoezelen room is a multi-sensory room which helps people of all ages with challenging behaviours, learning disabilities, mental health issues, and autism. It is made up of things to be touched and explored. It speaks to all five senses of the person through textures, lights, sounds, colour, music and scents. Each room can be different but often will have bubble tubes, water play, cushions, ball pits, projectors, and movement stimulators. These items can be costly, and a well-equipped room means lots of fundraising. It is so gratifying for such a congenial occasion to bring together over 300 people to share a night breaking bread and sharing a laugh, but to also raise a considerable amount of money for a good cause.

I know that to put on the dinner takes a lot of time and effort from a lot of people. It is appreciated by the guests, and they know that long after the music has finished and the lights are out, individuals will reap the rewards of the brand new Snoezelen Room.

Employment Corner by Suzanne Jackson, RSCL Employment Coordinator
Paige works as an Auxiliary Operations Support employee at the City of Richmond. Her days consists of filing and other general clerical tasks in the Human Resources Department. This office has many responsibilities, including the hiring of City staff. As with all jobs at the City, Paige’s role is a very important one and she does it with enthusiasm, skill and pride.
170 - 7000 Minoru Blvd., Richmond BC V6Y 3Z5 604-279-7040 ı info@rscl.org ı www.rscl.org In March, RSCL said goodbye to a long-time employee, Nancy Long. Nancy was with RSCL for over 25 years, beginning on the board of directors, and then as the Home Share Coordinator. RSCL thanks Nancy for her years of service and we wish her a fond farewell and all the best in her future endeavors.
Paige is one of 1900 staff employed by the City in a variety of locations throughout Richmond. Her team is a small but dedicated group that has warmly welcomed her and encourages her to succeed and grow in her position. In addition to earning wages, Paige has made new friends, gained confidence, and increased her independence.
New Home Share Coordinator
With Nancy leaving RSCL we now have a new Home Share Coordinator. I say new, but some of you may know her; Heather Paton. She worked for RSCL part-time as the Home Share Coordinator about two years ago. We are thrilled to welcome her back to the RSCL family. Heather is working full time now, and can be found in the offices beside Synergy.
Congratulations, Paige!

Her visit included a 4 day Disney Cruise to the Bahamas! Dena had an amazing time, spending time with her family, swimming, eating great food, dancing with Daisy Duck, having a beach day on Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island) and spending the day in Key West. Dena says the highlight for her was being able to spend time with Trudy and family and creating so many beautiful memories!
Giving Back Giving back to the Supported Child Development Program (SCDP) is important to our family. This year we decided to throw a party to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday and what a great way to raise funds and awareness for RSCL and SCDP at the same time. We let our guests know ahead of time that we would be collecting donations for SCDP and we told them why. We told them that every day, our son has support at his preschool because of SCDP; that without them, he may not be able to go to preschool. We told them that they support him and us with strategies, goals and a plan for his upcoming transition to kindergarten.
We want to thank SCDP and all who donated to this very important cause! We hope that our birthday fundraiser can inspire others to find ways to give back. Sincerely, The Kinney-Sepps.

Byng partnered with Save-On Foods at Terra Nova, Starbucks on No. 2 Road, and Kajaks Track and Field Club which all donated food and drink to help raise the funds. Several Spirit Club Grade 4 and 5 students baked goodies which were sold by donation. The significance of helping others was made even more real when some of the Byng students were introduced to Fort McMurray residents Dan and Julie Port, who attended the school’s sports day. The Ports are staying temporarily with relatives in Steveston and are pictured here with some of the Byng students.

marriage counseling, see your doctor. 2. How Do You Care for Your Heart? The best predictor of your future health are (1) the health of your parents and (2) the habits you practise today. If a parent or sibling had heart surgery, a heart attack or heart failure, you should ask your doctor to assess your personal risk factors, including high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure. Are you living a life that minimizes risks? Care for your heart by limiting salt, alcohol and a lazy, leisurely lifestyle. Don’t sacrifice long-term health for short-term pleasure. Enjoy the rewards of daily healthy living. Eat more fruits and vegetables and other foods that really make you feel good. If you can sit, stand. If you can stand, walk. If you can walk: run, swim or cycle. Butt out, get outside and live. 3. Make a good thing great Why settle for good enough when you can get great? You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone, and you don’t know great ‘til you’ve got it. Your heart is another muscle you can train. Unless you’ve already been a worldclass athlete, none of us knows what we can achieve. When you’re fit and strong, everyday life is easier. You’ll have plenty of energy to shop, clean, mow the lawn, get out and dance. Everyday tasks — climbing a flight of stairs, lifting and moving — become effortless and fast.

ichmond Hospital Foundation raised a record $250,000 in net donations at its annual golf tournament at the Richmond Country Club on June 6. The money will go towards much-needed emergency room equipment. “Our generous donors, sponsors and countless volunteers all deserve thanks,” said Barbara Goodwin, a foundation board member. Participant and head of the emergency department, Dr. Richard Chan, noted the por-
table x-ray machine and five portable patient monitors will assist all the patients who come through his ward, which serves Richmond, South Vancouver, Delta and travelers from YVR. Notably, the Nightingale family donated $30,000 at the River Green (Aspac Developments) and Richmond News sponsored event. Last year, the foundation raised $208,000 for the hospital’s urology department.

Land Use Plan Amendment
Seafair shells charity target Y
oung hockey prospects from Seafair Minor Hockey Association and their parents were buzzing last Saturday after raising just over $30,000 for Children’s Hospital thanks to a head-shaving fundraiser, which also benefitted a wigs program for cancer patients. The association’s vice-president, Cody Kusch, said the kids went above and beyond their $20,000 goal and, after the second annual event, are now nearly halfway to their five-year goal of raising $100,000. Parent Jerome So organized the event,
which took place on Chatham Street at Steveston Barbers, for the boys, and Shay’s Hair Studio, for the girls. Notably, each hair salon donated its time and services to the event. All-in-all, about 16 kids participated and a special mention from Kusch went to Ryan Wright, a player in the PeeWee division. Wright not only cut off eight inches of hair, but also raised $1,300 on his own, including donating his Christmas and birthday money to help contribute. — Graeme Wood/Richmond News

W
hat has evolved into one of the city’s biggest sporting events is re-locating within a few blocks of its original home. The 31st annual Dolphin Classic is headed to the South Arm Community Centre. The 4-on-4 outdoor basketball tournament is set for July 15-17 and will feature top men’s and women’s teams from throughout the Pacific Northwest. It was back in 2007 when the Classic’s surging popularity forced organizers to start searching for a new home. The quaint Dolphin Park was no longer big enough for the large crowds or the number of cars that converged on the quiet South Richmond neighbourhood each July weekend. “We had a year or two to find another location. We were not going to get our (beer garden) liquor licensed renewed until we went to a bigger park that was safe,” recalled Bira Bindra, one of the Classic’s original players. “That’s when we sat in a board room with executives at city hall to try and find a good location.” Bindra and the rest of the Dolphin founders knew exactly where they wanted to go but at that time there were no courts at South Arm. “Even though we are all originally West Richmond and Steveston guys, this is where we would come and meet,” explained Bruce
Watson. It was just a more central location and the best competition (from the three senior secondary schools at the time) would all come here. If it was raining, we would go into the gym and on sunny days we would be at (nearby) Dolphin.” With South Arm not being an option, the Classic moved to the Thompson Community Centre in Central Richmond where the tournament was welcomed with open arms by an enthusiastic community association in 2009. Two playing courts allowed the event to expand to include a women’s divison. A year later, the South Arm Community Association teamed up with the City of Richmond to build two pristine outdoor courts. Not only where they the same dimensions as Dolphin, they included fibreglass backboards and state-of-the-art polypropylene Sport Court surfaces. “We knew there was a possibility they were (going to build this) but we thought let’s go to Thompson for three years while this happens,” said Bindra. “Their staff was awesome to work with.” What was intended to be a short stay at Thompson was extended to six years, even though it was impossible to replicate the Classic’s original home due to just how barren the Thompson basketball court area was. After last year’s tournament, a decision was made to approach South Arm Community Centre area coordinator Steve Mahon. See Dolphin Classic page 27

EXCLUSIVE FOR PLAYERS ■ Richmond 2001B Islanders continued their tradition of outstanding play at the North Delta Invitational, this time earning a silver medal at the U16 level.
2001 Islanders earn silver
The Richmond 2001B Islanders rep girls fastpitch team looked to recapture its magic at the 2016 North Delta Invitational. The first-year U16 division team had won gold at North Delta in two of the previous three years and coach Greg Dee was eager to again lead his team against a field of 12 strong teams from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Interior and Washington State. Richmond went 2-2 during the round robin play to advance to the playoff round as the No. 7 seed. In the quarter-final playoff game, the Islanders had to face off against the No. 2 seed — a powerful and more experienced 2000/2001 Bellingham Bash team. The Islanders got off to a slow start and were trailing 2-0 after the first inning. However, pitcher Megan Saez Co settled into a groove and only allowed one run the rest of the way. She kept the Bash batters on their heels, striking out 13 batters over six innings to get the complete game victory. The Islanders took the lead with a threerun fourth inning, highlighted by RBI singles from Jessica Ryan, Elle Armitage and a sacrifice fly by Izy Wick to score Kate Dee, Ryan, and Tjammie Ko, respectively for a 4-3 win. In the semi-finals, the Islanders made quick work of their opponent — Ridge Meadows Rage — by scoring five runs in the top of the first and never looked back in
a convincing 11-1 victory. Leading the way offensively for the Islanders was Hannah Collins with three RBIs and Saez Co. She also pitched another brilliant game, allowing just three hits and one run over five innings of work, while the defence behind her was solid, highlighted by four outfield catches by Ko and a double play from Saez Co to Ryan and then to Wick. The win catapulted the Islanders to the gold medal game against the heavily favoured and more experienced 2000 Fleetwood Force. The Islanders, grabbed an early lead as Dee led off the game with a single and a stolen base before being driven home by Ryan. However, the advantage was short-lived as the Force took it to the Islanders with 13 straight runs. The Islanders did finish strong as Saez Co had a two-run single in the last inning to score Ryan and Wick but the Islanders could not overcome the large deficit in a 13-3 defeat. Despite the loss, coach Dee and his assistants — Jeff Collins, Eric Gee and Betson Saez Co — were extremely proud of the players for the level of competition brought forth throughout the weekend to capture silver. The team also includes: Lila Crawford, Jessica Gee, Leah LaRocque, Tallia MacIver, Jessica Nonay and Asha Pannu.
Dolphin Classic: 31st edition set for South Arm July 15-17 From page 26 “We had been fighting it for the last little while,” admitted Taj Johal. “It was just not the same intimacy up there because it was so wide open. We see a lot of the old by coming back to the new here. I think it will be a fresh re-root.” “With the trees and everything, it’s a lot more like Dolphin,” added Tony Wong-Hen. “We tried to give Thompson more of a festive atmosphere by putting up tents and that kind. This was originally our home and we have always wanted to come here and we thought this location (of the South Arm) was ideal. It was just waiting for something.” With the tournament a month away, Watson is busy finalizing the entries in the men’s and women’s divisions. Although new teams are always welcome, the standard of play is such that acceptance is hardly automatic. The tournament’s reputation and rich tradition is at stake. “It has to fit our mould to put on the most competitive tournament as possible. We sort of seek the teams out if we can,” added Bindra. “We treat the players as our No. 1 prior-
ity and cater to them. We are taking away one of their summer weekends so we make sure everything is right. When it comes to the schedule we accommodate out of town teams as much as we can.” The move to South Arm is also providing the Classic with the opportunity to showcase future participants. A partnership has been formed with the Richmond Youth Basketball League (RYBL) and a mini tournament, featuring players ages 10-12, will also take place that week. “Just being exposed to the tournament and the high level of talent they are going to see is going to inspire them to reach the next level,” said RYBL coordinator Jessy Dhillon, who also is head coach of McNair’s senior boys team. “To be on the same court as them with a crowd watching will have the kids on Cloud 9. “It’s almost like starting a new generation that might want to play at Dolphin one day. How cool would that be?” For more information on the Dolphin Classic and a link to an outstanding documentary on the tournament’s beginnings visit www.dolphinbasketball.com
