Onni finally gets a tenant City council approves ‘spot’ rezoning for daycare on boardwalk Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

eveloper Onni is one-tenth of the way to filling its Imperial Landing buildings with commercial tenants after Richmond city council unanimously approved rezoning to accommodate a soon-to-be-evicted childcare centre in Steveston. But will the move deteriorate the ability to maintain the site for maritime commercial and industrial purposes, as it is presently zoned for? Not according to one

of the developer’s biggest critics, Coun. Harold Steves. “This council is in for the long haul,” said Steves, of the longstanding rezoning feud between Onni and the City of Richmond. Monday evening, at a public hearing at Richmond City Hall, council weighed the pros and cons of accepting childcare as a permitted use on the second floor of 4080 Bayview Street. The decision appeared to be a “no brainer,” as described by Coun. Bill McNulty. Steves said the rezoning, as requested by the City of Rich-

mond, is a mere text amendment that rights the wrongs of a past council decision to not include childcare in the maritime zoning. When council finalized the vote, a collective sigh of relief was heard among Generation Daycare parents. “This was the mountain that we needed to get over,” said Generation’s owner Agnes Lewis, whose Trites Road business is being evicted come Sept. 30 but has already agreed to a lease with Onni. Considering the lack of

childcare facilities in Richmond, Steves said this was “not the issue to take Onni to task for.” Council had received dozens of letters from nearby residents opposing the rezoning, which allows for a childcare facility to operate only on the 5,600-squarefoot second floor of one building. In his submission, local resident William Armerding called Onni “crooks.” Kelvin Higo wrote that he was concerned about a precedent for further “spot” rezoning. See Daycare’s page 3

First Belleza baby bumped but hopefully not second GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

orn and raised Richmondite Richard Belleza is having his second child, a boy, this September. His wife Kelly plans on delivering at Richmond Hospital, but neither are holding their breath based on the experience they had two years ago with daughter MacKenzie. That’s because the Bellezas count themselves as one of the parents who has been bumped from a busy maternity ward that, on some days, finds itself packed to the gunnels, partly due to its popularity with foreign nationals. “Obviously we want to have him in Richmond . . . We’re stressed out of our minds. It is our second kid. I mean, we have some experience, but you never know what you’re going to get,” said Richard, who questions the practice of birth tourism and the strain it puts on taxpaying citizens. According to Vancouver Coastal Health, the Bellezas are just one of 14 couples who were bumped due to the ward being full in the past 18 months, a time period in which the hospital set records for births to foreign mothers, largely due to birth tourism companies facilitating the process. In the hospital’s financial year of 2014/15, in which MacKenzie was born, the hospital birthed 2,185 new Canadians, 339 of whom were to foreign nationals — representing an all-time high, to date. Between 2004 and 2010 there were 18 non-resident births per year in Richmond, on average. Last financial year, nearly one in six births were to mothers of foreign nationality. Richard, a financial advisor, can’t be certain his baby had to be born elsewhere due to the popularity

of birth tourism, but he crunched the numbers. “I’m a numbers person and you don’t want to apply any prejudice or any judgement in this situation, but when you look at the numbers . . . When you have 15 beds, on average two to three of those beds are going to go to non-residents. So, by that math simply, not having any space, there’s a good chance at least one of those beds was occupied by someone who didn’t have permanent residency or citizenship,” said Richard. “It’s a little concerning as a taxpayer that you don’t get to use the resources in your own city. “Ultimately, everyone here is an immigrant but are there people that should have priority in the hospitals? Yes,” he said. Richard said Kelly’s water broke at around midnight on July 31, 2014. After spending four hours in the hospital waiting for a bed, they were told by staff there was no bed for Kelly. At 6 a.m. staff said the couple needed to go to Lions Gate Hospital on the North Shore. “They didn’t offer an ambulance or anything like that. It was just, ‘You have to go to Lions Gate,’” said Richard, who found levity in the fact he made good time in traffic. Richard and Kelly, who is employed in the field of occupational health and safety own a townhouse near Steveston. “We’ve been long ingrained in the community,” said Richard. He told the Richmond News, the issue of the hospital making money off foreign mothers is “a more systemic problem.” “I’m a business person. I understand the realities. It makes financial sense to take someone who helps your bottom line. But not at the expense of other people.”

n In July 2014, Richard and Kelly Belleza found themselves bumped out of Richmond Hospital’s maternity ward due to high occupancy, which he says is likely due to a high rate of foreign national births. Photo submitted

Daycare's troubles due to dwindling industrial land: Resident parking and traffic wouldn’t be a concern. With council’s approval, Lewis said the next step will be for Generation to obtain pertinent permits related to occupancy, building codes and health and safety. Coun. Linda McPhail noted she would like to hear from the community on how more people can work in childcare to Nearby resident Sharon Renneberg wrote to the city, stating Generation’s desperate attempt to find space was indicative of a bigger problem. “First, let me say that this

hearing wouldn’t even be necessary if the city recognized and supported the need to maintain zoning for our dwindling light industrial land. The race to rezone all of Richmond for a residential windfall is creating this domino effect.” Onni has asked to rezone nearly the entire site for general commercial purposes. City council has asked for community amenities and/or cash in return for the lucrative new zoning. The two sides appear to be far apart. The site has sat empty for four years.

One parent, speaking to council, stated she supports the maritime zoning but more pressing is the need for childcare. Speaking to council, Richmond resident Andrea Hunter stated the Richmond School District and Vancouver Coastal Health should have been fully consulted. She said it was dangerous to put a childcare centre near the river and the current zoning could allow for industrial practices, such as welding, to occur at later dates. Numerous parents, who

take their children to the existing daycare, said the new facility is a marked improvement over the old, windowless site next to a bottle depot. Lewis said the walk from Homma elementary to Imperial Landing is safe. Several parents agreed. Lewis added that the children will avoid crossing busy Trites Road and learn about Steveston’s heritage en route. Traffic and parking concerns were also raised.

nother strongly-worded letter directed at the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project team is expected to grace Richmond City Hall's mailroom this week, as city planners ask for clarifications on the direct environmental impact of a new bridge. Among the key concerns is the fact the new 10-lane bridge will reduce the overall size of the new Gardens Agricultural Park by almost 20 per cent.

As a result of the bridge, the city maintains it will need to have yet another round of public consultation, to redraw the new, smaller park, which was intended for nearby residential growth. According to the province's Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, a new bridge to replace the tunnel will result in 1.4 hectares of net agricultural land in Richmond. But the City of Richmond isn't convinced it’s an even trade off, noting much of the land being used to widen Highway 99 is highly farmable, behind No. 5 Road properties.

ATING

Meanwhile, the land being put back in the Agricultural Land Reserve is from small, narrow plots of highway right-of-way, to the east of Highway 99. One plot of returned agricultural land is found in the Steveston Highway interchange. The city also wants the province to pay for local road upgrades, associated with the bridge’s construction. The ministry has been vocal about the fact the bridge will save farmland, although local critics and environmentalists have maintained the bridge will open up the lower Fraser River to development.

Parkinson’s on the ropes with exercise Dear Editor, Re: “Giving Parkinson’s the old one-two,” Feature, July 16. I read with interest Philip Raphael’s article, “Giving Parkinson’s the old one-two” in the Friday issue of the Richmond News. I am happy for Mr. Fattedad that he has found an exercise program that meets his needs. I also have Parkinson’s disease. I do not drive, and I live in Richmond. I would like to point out that an exercise program for people with

Parkinson’s was held at Steveston Community Centre and Minoru Place Activity Centre this past winter and spring and will be available again this fall. It is called Parkinson Wellness Recovery (PWR!) The certified instructor uses exercises that promote flexibility, balance, high energy and whole body movements. Those of us who participated last season look forward to more classes this fall.

Gov’t changes won’t change affordability Dear Editor, One realtor’s perspective ... In what was probably a wellintentioned but, in fact, sadly misguided attempt to address the issue of housing affordability in B.C., the provincial government is making changes to the regulatory structure of the real estate industry. The message delivered was that the industry has not done an adequate job of self regulation. A few facts seem to be missing. The government creates the regulatory rules through the Real Estate Services Act and the Real Estate Council enforces the act as required. As a 39-year realtor and past real estate council member, I can attest that the members of the council are dedicated to protecting the public interest and vigilant in dealing with

industry will work diligently to implement the changes which will result from the recent government actions and we will continue to deliver the services our clients have come to rely on and expect. The truly unfortunate aspect of all the recent media attention is that it will have absolutely no effect on housing affordability. The buyers and sellers of properties create the marketplace and set the prices by their willingness to purchase and sell property. Licensees provide the research, marketing, promotion, agency representation and negotiation skills to enable clients to achieve the desired results. Jim McCaughan managing broker Abbotsford

VOICESon Politics

Common sense should drive Massey Tunnel Replacement Project JACKTROVATO Guest Shot

Jack Trovato was an NDP candidate in the 2015 federal election in the riding of Richmond Centre and is expected to run in the 2017 provincial election in the new Richmond-Queensborough riding ome British Columbians still hold a small flicker of hope that Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals will, for once, put the welfare of its citizens ahead of big business — yet time and time again, this small flicker is extinguished by the actions of this supposedly (ahem) “liberal” government. Once more, Premier Clark has shown who she represents and, unfortunately, it is not average British Columbians. Thinly veiled as an initiative to address our traffic problems, the BC Liberal government has committed to build the largest bridge ever constructed in British Columbia. However, a very superficial analysis of this mega project reveals that not only is the bridge economically and ecologically unwise, but it also will not address our traffic issues. What will it accomplish? The $3.5 billion, 10-lane, tolled, replacement bridge for the George Massey Tunnel would accommodate US thermal coal freighters and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supertankers on the South Arm of the Fraser River. The old adage “follow the money” has never seemed more appropriate. Notwithstanding, however, there is, admit-

tedly, little doubt that the traffic congestion in this corridor of Highway 99 must be addressed. We do need to transport people and goods in a more efficient manner. However, without an overall cohesive regional plan to reduce traffic gridlock and improve transit in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, this new bridge will simply move the bottleneck from one area to another. Let us more thoroughly analyze why the cover story given by Premier Clark is completely bogus. Firstly, there are far less intrusive means of addressing our traffic problems. For instance, the original plans to twin the George Massey Tunnel were completely disregarded with neither public input nor a reasonable explanation. Not only would this initial option save taxpayers approximately $2.5 billion dollars, it would also be significantly less invasive to this ecologically sensitive area of the Fraser River estuary. Moreover, the $2.5 billion saved could be used for public education, health care, affordable housing, or improved public transit. Secondly, over a decade ago, the B.C. Gateway Program Definition Report expressed concern that resolving the traffic issues at the George Massey Tunnel would only serve to move the congestion to other locations, particularly the North Arm of the Fraser River. To make this remedy work, upgrades would also be needed at the Knight and Oak Street Bridges. However, the new plan to build this mega project fails to address these issues and, instead, the BC Liberal

The Community Connection With Your Richmond MLAs Non-profit Organizations Impact British Columbia Did you know the summer activities children are enjoying, counseling services for youth and families, safe shelter for the needy, are a few of the many services offered by non-profit organizations. This sector is the backbone to sustaining a healthy and thriving community. It is vital for all of us to support them and recognize their contributions. Several organizations in the sector came together and created the “New Directions for British Columbia’s Non-Profit Sector Project” in 2012, which tells us how remarkable the impacts of the sector are, and also identifies the directions and strategies for moving forward. The project has administered two broad-based surveys on non-profit organizations and hosted 15 community events in our province. The survey results show that organizations impacted their communities in many different ways and emphasizes the importance of working together. Moving forward, the sector has already taken actions to work together, build understanding and communicate impacts, which include establishing local and regional networks in different communities, and setting up a provincial network with 24 non-profit organizations in B.C.

John Yap’s Constituency Office #115-4011 Bayview Street, Richmond, BC, V7E 0A4 Tel: 604-241-8452

Non-profit organizations in British Columbia contribute enormously to the economic and civic well‐being of the province. They define the values of our society. Their broad range of services touches virtually every aspect of life and they primarily serve their local communities. Our government supports their meaningful work through different ways such as the Community Gaming Grant Program. Check out the contributions of this sector on this website: www.bcnonprofits.ca. Our thanks go to the multitude of non-profit organizations in Richmond who make our community the great community that it is.

Marfa Pineda, restaurant supervisor at Fresh Restraurant & Lounge in the Radisson Vancouver Airport, says the time is now to book your Christmas event at the Garden Room.

Time to book your spot

he height of summer may not be the time when your thoughts turn towards planning Christmas events. But if you are looking to host a gathering for your ofSce, community group or friends, now is the best time to book if you want a special spot to celebrate the season in style at the Fresh Restaurant & Lounge at the Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport. Located in the heart of Richmond’s shopping district — at Cambie Road and No. 3 Road, just steps from the Aberdeen SkyTrain station — the Garden Room at the Radisson’s

marquee restaurant is the perfect place to have groups up to 50 enjoy the fabulous menu of the Fresh Restaurant & Lounge, or the special, seasonal mistletoe buffet, said Marfa Pineda, restaurant supervisor. “Plus, if you make plans now, you will not be disappointed because bookings for the Garden Room get very busy as we head into the end of summer and early fall,” she added. “People are looking for a nice venue that is separate from the restaurant so their guests can have a nice time in what is a very comfortable area.”

The Garden Room is a bright and spacious part of Fresh Restaurant & Lounge with a curved set of Roorto-ceiling windows looking out onto a well-manicured landscaped space. Then there’s the food. And the mistletoe buffet is sure not to disappoint with a host of items to delight all of your guests. Among the seasonal selections will be roast turkey and ham. Plus, melt-in-yourmouth roast prime rib – which has made Fresh Restaurant & Lounge famous — can be served. See Prime page 13

Prime rib a mainstay at Fresh From page 12 The prime rib is AAA Alberta beef that is slow-roasted to perfection. But why wait until December to try that when Fresh serves it Friday and Saturday during the everpopular Prime Rib Nights where the prime rib is carved right in the dining room, served with Yorkshire pudding and includes their endless chef’s seasonal salad table. And when you order the prime rib you can also get $8 off a bottle of wine. If you prefer a nice cold beer with your meal, Fresh serves craft beer from Victoria-based Phillips Brewing and Malting Co. Choose from a selection that includes Blue Buck Ale, the Analogue 78 Kolsch, Hop Circle IPA, Electric Unicorn white IPA and Short Wave west coast pale ale that is bright with citrus hops. If you want a soft drink, Fresh recommends the Jarritos which is tasty and makes a wonderful ice cream oat. As for wine, Fresh is the only restaurant in Richmond that pours B.C. wines by the glass. And if you haven’t tried Fresh before, one of the best ways is to visit during happy hour between 5 and 7 p.m. when appetizers are half price. Try the nachos with pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, green onions, olives and jalepenos. Or maybe it’s the one pound clam or mussel bowls. The clams come in a basil pesto broth, roast corn and garlic toasted focaccia, while the mussels are served with chili oil, maple and smoked butter,

the sentences are easy to picture in your mind. A type of reader who will like this book is a reader who likes calm things and dogs. I give this book 4.5 stars.

VOICESon Wine

The Culmina family estate winery: a culmination of a lifetime ERICHANSON Sips Happen

onald Triggs, Culmina’s owner is an ex-CEO for Vincorp International, once the ninth largest wine producer in the world. He is half of the name in JacksonTriggs winery. Consultant Alain Sutre selected the grapes to be planted at Culmina based on the soil analysis. Sutre has played a vital role in the success of other prestigious wineries such as OsoyoosLarose, Burrowing Owl, and Painted Rock wineries. Culmina’s Bordeaux trained winemaker, Pascal Madevon has had plenty of experience producing premium reds in the Okanagan, working at Osoyoos-Larose. What’s in a Name: Culmina is Latin for top or peak. The word culmination is derived from culmina. Culmina Winery is a culmination of Donald Trigg’s extraordinary career in the wine busness.. Location: Culmina is on the Golden Mile of the Okanagan, south of Oliver, on Wild Rose St., west of Highway 97. Website: culmina.ca Anything Special in Addition to the Wines? The view from the sundeck of Osoyoos Lake and the vineyards is spectacular. The tasting room is more than just a place to sample wines. It has a strong educational component where visitors sit down at a table and you learn how the soils, the location, the climate, the selection of grapes, and the expertise are all crucial to the quality of the wine. You walk away with more than just a few sips of wine. And Now, the Main Attraction: The 2015 Unicus ($27) produced from Gruner Veltliner, one of Austria’s premium whites. It is partly fermented in concrete and that adds roundness to the wines. The GV is much like a Riesling in that it has a good dose of acidity producing a tantalizing crispness that will pair well with goat cheese, sushi, and seafood. I loved the guava and citrus, with hints of herbs like a Sauvignon Blanc and the richness of a Chardonnay. It’s great to see B.C. experimenting with new varieties, especially when the results are so a delicious. Unfortunately, it is only available at the winery, but that’s a great excuse for a wine trip. The Culmina 2015 Decora ($21) is a dry and elegant Riesling. There’s typical Ries-

ling acidity which makes the wine fresh and bright, comes with lemon and white flower aromas and peach, nectarine, and lime flavours. Coquilles St.-Jacques, southern fried chicken, or citrus-glazed pork belly would make the Decora sing! The 2015 Saignée ($22) dry rose is produced from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and a little Malbec. With a short time

on the skins steeping in the juice to get the colour, it’s like a Provencal rose. Rich and intense with strawberries, raspberries, and herbs de Provence. Enjoy with Greek barbecued chicken and tsatsiki, Peking Duck, or pork terrine charcuteries. The 2012 Hypothesis ($38) is Culmina’s iconic red, a Bordeaux style blend with a majority of Merlot and the rest being Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc. Expect a wine with complexity, elegance, and finesse. There is good structure

from the CS and delicious plum and blackberry bouquet and flavours, along with toasty oak. It is a wine to be cellared and enjoyed for years to come. Pair it with duck breast, Dijon mustard and rosemary lamb, or Gruyere cheese. Final Thoughts: Culmina is a legacy for the Triggs family, welding a lifetime of winemaking experience with state of the art technology to create premium Okanagan wines Eric Hanson is retired Richmond teacher and wine educator

n Culmina’s owner Donald Triggs with his daughter, Sara, Culmina’s Marketing and Sales Manager.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Italy spoils another big India party Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

t took a little Italian magic to prevent another big haul for the Team India machine at the 37th annual Nations Cup. The three-day tournament, that determines cultural and ethnic bragging rights on the soccer pitch, produced a classic Open Division final as Italy scored a “golden goal” in extra time for a 3-2 victory over defending champion India. The highly entertaining affair not only prevented India from winning its third Open title in four years — it meant the powerful program had to be satisfied with two titles after four of its teams reached the six division finals. The Italians overcame plenty of adversity to capture their first Open title since 2007. They battled back from an early deficit and

played without their leader Steve Kindel. The 39-year-old former Vancouver Whitecaps standout, during the club’s days in the USL, was red carded in Italy’s 2-1 semi-final win over Ireland. With a line-up of youth and experience, Italy spoiled the party for the large pro-India crowd at the Hugh Boyd Oval — led by the efforts of tournament MVP and golden boot winner Carlo Basso, along with Top Defender recipient Jon Polli. Basso, a recent SFU grad, was a perennial All-American, while Polli is a former CIS Nationals MVP with UBC (2005) who is now the Whitecaps strength and conditioning coach. “They came into this year’s tournament under different leadership and sometimes when that happens you are little concerned when you have been dealing with the same people for a long time,” said Nations Cup president Jeff Wilson. “But give them credit. They were very well organized and certainly knew what

IF YOU WORKED IN A CONE ZONE, WOULDN’T YOU WANT DRIVERS TO SLOW DOWN?

they were doing putting this team together. “The quality of soccer for the final was outstanding, especially when you consider those teams were playing their third game of the day. The thing that really jumped out at me again is the overall parity and how that seems to become more apparent every year.” It was certainly no cake walk for the Italians to reach the championship game — picking up a point against a determined Scotland team to capture their group Sunday morning, then edging Ireland. India also was battle tested — beating two very good teams Africa (2-0) and Croatia (21) to advance to the final four, then slipping past Fiji 1-0 in the semi-finals. The recruiting efforts seem to be getting more intense each year too. Wilson noted how Saudi Arabia flew in a Seattle area player who was playing out of Washington DC. It nearly paid off as a loss to

Ireland prevent the Saudis from winning their group. India also came up short in the Women’s Final, falling 1-0 to Canada on a late goal. Both teams entered the match with perfect 3-0 records and were missing some potential key players as provincial “A” champion Richmond FC were involved in a cross border challenge series. Montana Leonard, who is fresh off graduation from McMath Secondary and is headed to the University of Calgary in September, was named the Tournament MVP. India did manage to win the Over 38 title with a 2-0 win over Canada. The road to the title included a 1-0 semi-final victory against Serbia. India also earned Over 52 honours with a 2-1 win over China. England secured Over 30 bragging rights with a 1-0 victory against rival Scotland. Germany took the Over 45 crown by blanking Germany 2-0.

Athletes off to B.C. Games

ichmond Basketball will be well-represented on the Vancouver Coastal Zone team competing at this week’s B.C. Summer Games in Abbotsford. A whopping 28 players will be participating in 3-on-3 and full court hoop events. That’a great reflection of the development of talent in the city. The Vancouver Coastal Zone represents five areas — Richmond, Vancouver, Delta, North Shore and SquamishLillooet. This is the second time 3-on-3 will be included at the B.C. Games. Two years ago, it was a very young team with all 10 players under-aged representing the local region. This time around it is an older group, with eight boys about to enter Grade 8 and two others with one more year of elementary school. Returning from the team two years ago is Nicholas Kennedy, the only player to get a second opportunity at winning a medal at the Games. He is off to McMath in the fall, along with three of his Summer Games teammates: Kenneth Wong, Michael Kitka and Ben Falk. They are joined by Allan Tan

and Cameron Tsu, who will be going to Burnett. Nolan Rollins is headed to Hugh Boyd, and Nao Kawano Steveston-London. Rounding out the team are Noah Fung and Kyle Christoffersen. The coaches are by Chris Kennedy and Harley Rollins. Here’s rundown of Richmond athletes attending the Games in all sports: Athletics Carson Bradley, Javid Gill, Hiroki Sato, Serge Serbinenko, Kelsey Thomson. Baseball Dustin McElwain.
