City proposes ALR house limits ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

M
ega homes on farmland in Richmond could be a thing of the past, if city council approves proposals to seriously curtail residential development on the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Councillors were expected, on Wednesday afternoon, to consider restricting the size of residences on Richmond’s ALR to 5,382 square-feet. Also, if city staff’s recommendations are to be followed, the square footage of an accessory, residential building on the property would be limited to a maximum of 753 square feet. Even if the proposed bylaw amendments — which form part of a long-awaited move by city council to deal with growing concern over the proliferation of mega mansions on
the ALR — are approved this week, they still need to be considered at a public hearing, possibly in May. City staff are also recommending formulating a “rezoning approach” for any proponents who wish to build beyond the proposed size limits for the residence. Last month, a near unanimous Richmond city council placed a moratorium on building permit applications for houses on protected farmland, following a recent flood of such applications to build large houses on the ALR. Coun. Alexa Loo opposed the moratorium, saying she thought it was “heavy-handed.” In January, when council began a public consultation process on restricting home sizes on farmland, Couns. Carol Day and Harold Steves called for a moratorium, fearing a rush of development. Since then, the average size of application was almost 13,000 square-feet, with one proponent asking for 32,660 square-feet.
Until now, Richmond was one of the few Metro Vancouver municipalities not to have any kind of effective restriction on the size of residences on farmland. In preparing the aforementioned proposals, city staff said it consulted the provincial Ministry of Agriculture’s guidelines, which recommend that residential development be commensurate with the same development in urban areas in Richmond’s singledetached home zones. According to this week’s report, development variance permits could be issued to proponents in terms of either the main or secondary residential buildings, as long as the sum total doesn’t exceed the limit. Leading up to this week’s proposals, a total of 679 surveys were received by the city. A significant majority (74.1 per cent) wanted size limitations on the principal farmland home, while, according to the report, farmers and ALR residents were “less supportive.”

Card-playing seniors claim bum deal Gambling crackdown ousts poker circle Alan Campbell
Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com
D
ozens of card game-loving seniors are being forced to take their fun behind closed doors after a City of Richmond clampdown on illegal gambling. Groups of men and women playing cribbage for a dollar, bridge for a toonie and poker for 10 cents a chip at Minoru Place Seniors Centre have all but been shut down by the popular facility’s management. In a letter to the Richmond News last week, Kathleen Holmes, president of Minoru Seniors Society — which helps run the city-owned centre — said the Provincial Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch has confirmed that card-playing activities involving the exchange of money, no matter how small, are considered gaming and is, therefore, unlawful. However, members of the centre’s long-running, 40-strong, Texas hold’em poker circle — one of whom is 95-years-old — gathered outside of the facility on Monday to voice their anger over to the no-gambling crackdown. “This group has been going in there for about 10 years, three times a week on a Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, betting 10 flippin’ cents a chip,” fumed Marilyn Berger, 70, who joined the group about five years ago. “Each game lasts for about three hours. It usually costs me about $2 for a wonderful afternoon of fun and friendship. “They’ve known fine well for years what we and all these other groups of seniors do and nobody ever said anything.” A few months ago, explained Berger, there was a particular “troublemaking” player who lost his temper and stormed off to the front desk to complain about something.
“So, (the management) started to look at us,” she said. “They didn’t care the 10 years before then. “We got a letter about two months ago, and it became apparent there was a problem. They told us we could keep playing, but not for money. “But what’s the point of playing poker when there’s no money involved?” Berger said some of the group have been going to a private residence to keep the poker circle going, but it’s not nearly as much fun and decidedly “less convenient.” “We had Christmas parties and a summer barbecue; we became a very close group,” she added. One of Berger’s fellow poker players, Charles McLaughlin, 81, said the Texas hold’em group does more for seniors than giving them the chance to play cards for pocket change. “People come here to get out of the house,” said McLaughlin. “By stopping this, they have virtually sent people back to their homes to hibernate.” Outside of the poker circle, dozens more seniors, who played whist, cribbage and bridge for small stakes, have been forced to find new ways to stay entertained. And the poker players say small groups at the centre playing the Asian, tile-based game mah-jong have been overlooked by the fresh crackdown. “Do you think these guys are not playing for money? Of course they are. They’re just settling up in the parking lot. But no one is saying anything to them,” said Berger. Another member of the poker group, Axel Froese, said, for many of the seniors, it was their only fun activity of the week. “They say we are gambling and they can’t
n Dozens of seniors who played card games for small stakes at Minoru Place have been forced to find an alternative venue, after a City of Richmond clampdown. Photo by Alan Campbell
condone it; but it was OK for 10 years. Why?” asked Froese. To add insult to injury, poker-playing Harry Walters, 88 — a former Vancouver police officer, who also worked for the provincial government as a gaming inspector — said he’s looked into the rules for gambling and claims what the seniors are doing is not illegal. “The only time it becomes illegal is when the house, for example, makes some money out of the game,” he said. Seniors society president Holmes said on Tuesday that a solution may involve playing for points with a prize at the end of it. “We’re looking into that right now,” she told the News, adding that they’re trying to ascertain if that would breach the provincial guidelines for gambling. “We certainly don’t want to be heavy-hand-
ed with the seniors, but we have the needs of more than 2,200 members to balance here. “And many of the groups, who are still coming here (to play card games) without gambling, thanked us (for cracking down).” City of Richmond spokesman Ted Townsend told the News on Tuesday that a complaint lodged late last year forced the city to, once more, investigate. Townsend said it wasn’t the first time the groups in question had been warned about their gambling and, in February, the centre’s policy on gambling was refreshed and made crystal clear to all concerned. “We’re not saying they can’t play poker or whatever…but it can’t be for money,” he added. “We are trying to offer a range of activities that enhances the life of the seniors, but we have a responsibility to abide by the law.”
Arrest after 6-hour stand-off Alan Campbell

six-hour stand-off with heavily armed police was sparked by an alleged assault on a 28-year-old woman in residential Richmond. Shortly after 8 p.m. on Monday, Richmond Mounties responded to the area just south-east of Cambie and Shell roads, where the woman reported she had been assaulted by a male suspect and fled to a house in the vicinity. The suspect was quickly tracked to a house in the 11000 block of Cambie Road, just a few hundred yards east of its intersection with Shell Road.
A full contingent of Richmond RCMP officers surrounded the house, with police acting on information that the suspect had a rifle in his possession and was making threats against the victim and other members of her family. Multiple attempts by police to have the suspect surrender peacefully were unsuccessful and tactical officers from the Emergency Response Team (ERT) were deployed. A video of the incident appeared to show two, young females, of Chinese ethnicity, being escorted from the home by members of the ERT, who were armed with assault rifles. Shortly afterwards, a police officer

could be heard warning the person inside the home that the ERT had the area surrounded and advised him to come to the front of the property. According to one witness at the scene, after six hours, at around 2 a.m., the police decided to enter the house, with several flash bang grenades appearing to be set off. According to the police, ERT members located the suspect hiding in the house after “distraction devices were utilized.” A 31-year old male was then taken into custody and charges are pending. The suspect is known to police and he and the alleged victim were also known to each other.

It’s just that what she likes pursuing away from school and other responsibilities may one day provide a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. That’s what Oh, who is in Grade 11, is working towards. It was also the subject of a science project she presented at a competition held April 11 at UBC. Oh has been working on a therapeutic treatment for Alzheimer’s by developing a mutant enzyme that is hoped will prevent the proteins responsible for producing harmful plaques on the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. “I feel this new approach could have some potential,” she said. “A lot of other people (researchers) are looking at targeting the plaques themselves and creating inhibitors. n Hugh Boyd’s Jean Oh is planning to continue her research that may one day provide But by creating a mutant (enzyme), a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.

graduating as a Packer Packer, he maintained ties to Steveston Judo Club and eventually coached the B.C. Judo team out of the Martial Arts Centre for 15 years, travelling to Japan and Europe for competitions. Fate would have it that his wife passed away a few years ago. It was then that he reconnected with some of his schoolmates — and new walking pals — bonded, in part, by having to make sense of a tumultuous early childhood. Those childhood memories will be recounted with the help of fellow Greenwood native Chuck Tasaka at St. Joseph the Worker Parish (April 29 at 2 p.m. at 4451 Williams Road), where there will be storytelling, Sakura singers, Japanese dancing and a Nikkei National Museum slideshow of the camps. Tasaka is also fundraising to build a small memorial park at Greenwood, in the Kootenays, as there is nothing official to mark that moment in history. Tasaka said it’s fitting to have the event at St.Joseph, as that’s where the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement began working to convert the Buddhist Japanese in Steveston. He credits the sisters for helping the
Japanese during these tough times. “This is where it all started in 1942,” said Tasaka. “No community wanted us,” he said, of the time when ethnic Japanese were declared alien enemies of the state. Greenwood was an old copper mine community and near ghost town at the time. Old hotels were used as barracks and it was a trying time, to say the least. “Families were split up, as men had to work elsewhere,” said Tasaka. In Greenwood, nuns stepped in, he said, to educate and convert the children. “We were fortunate that education started immediately. The feds and province squabbled over who would educate us,” said Tasaka, a retired teacher from Ladysmith. Since retirement, Tasaka has studied the Nikkei history and worked closely with fellow historians. The public event (tickets are $10 at the door) will help raise funds to establish the Nikkei Legacy Park in Greenwood that Tasaka believes is long overdue.

Dear Editor, Re: “Show your cycling smarts — wear a helmet,” Sports, April 14. As a life-long cyclist and cycling advocate who has commuted via bicycle daily for the past 33 years and who has extensively studied the issue of helmet use, nothing hurts me quite as much as seeing the spread of misinformation implying riding a bicycle is more dangerous than it is. This instilled fear discourages those from riding bicycles (which is good for them) and misdirects efforts to improve safety for the most efficient and safest methods of transport known to man. Not only are there by far more head injuries to those who are not riding bicycles, proportionately, there is no greater chance of receiving a head injury on a bicycle, than off a bicycle.
The strongest and most prevalent argument for helmet use is personal anecdote, yet a personal anecdote is by far the weakest form of argument to prove a case. B.C.’s all ages mandatory helmet law was passed more than 20 years ago, yet usage rates are not much higher than they were before the law was passed. I think the reason for this is obvious. A significant portion of people who ride bicycles understand doing so is a positive, healthy and relatively safe activity. Encouraging safe traffic practices, building separated cycling lanes, and vigorous enforcement of existing traffic laws are far more effective ways to ensure a cyclists safety. Helmets do little but provide distraction from this goal. Brad Kilburn Richmond

magine yourself on a spring day five years from now. You’re relaxing in the shade with a sunny view of the Fraser Estuary. Out of the blue, you hear an unseen creative power: “Either keep this as the world’s great salmon river or dredge it deeper to lure more shipping. You must choose.” Of course, that’s absurd. We really can make the choice, but the time to get results is now, not years from now. The George Massey Tunnel can still be retained, not removed with unmitigated harm to habitat and the nurture and passage of wild salmon — and orcas and more. In five years, we’ll rue bad consequences if we don’t prevent them now. This is old news, but it may seem new because it keeps getting negated. Whenever the intent to dredge the channel for larger ships comes up, the B.C. transportation minister, or a surrogate, jumps in to claim “no plans to dredge.”
In truth, the Massey project’s own 2012 discussion guide says the tunnel is “an impediment to expanded trade at Fraser Surrey Docks (FSD) and points east along the Fraser River” because “many of the newer ocean-going vessels are too large to pass over the tunnel.” Citizens keep simply stating that truth, but denials fog it. Documents from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and Fraser Surrey Docks (FSD) take further the plans to dredge deeper. With the tunnel gone, they would increase the channel depth by at least two metres to suit Panamax vessels and even some Aframax ones, bearing more than 80,000 tonnes. That doesn’t entirely conflict with “no plans to dredge,” since clear intents to dredge may not be “plans” in every sense. However, the mantra is misleading. And the tactic has been pervasive, even when the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) tried to review the Massey project. The B.C. EAO report reveals that First Na-
tions groups, such as the Musqueam, along with many concerned citizens, alerted the EAO about the “larger plan to dredge the South Arm Fraser River to deepen the channel and accommodate larger vessels.” In response, the transport ministry professed to be “unaware of any plans to dredge the river deeper.” And the port authority “confirmed that VFPA currently has no plans to dredge the Fraser River to create a wider or deeper navigation channel.” The EAO got fooled. In a Business in Surrey article, FSD CEO Jeff Scott, who is forthright, has described a plan to dredge a little deeper with each annual maintenance. That way, the ship channel depth would be at least 13.5 metres deep (a two-metre increase) within five years. It would be wider, too. After tunnel removal in 2022, an influx of larger freighters and tankers would take over the Fraser. But we can still choose to save the Fraser for wild salmon and ecological riches.

Doctors Falsehoods in letter: Pan Bridge over priced out troubled pilings? of market? Dear Editor, Re: “Letter: Pan’s view hypocritical,” Letters, April 13. It was shocking for me when I read the letter written by Alan Halliday, which made a number of false statements about me. Mr. Halliday claimed that I was, “front and centre protesting against discrimination (racist flyers) against Chinese citizens.” The truth is, although I am against any form of racial discrimination, I never participated in the protest, as I am not a big fan of street protesting. n Dong Pan Mr. Halliday went on to say that I was a Christian and criticized Christians on this matter. But the simple truth is that I am not a Christian, and I have never been a Christian. But Mr. Halliday did make an interesting point about what may happen when we exercise our freedom of speech: “the more outrageous the comments, the more outrageous the response.” I sincerely wish it reflected the reality. However, after the Richmond News article about me (“Parent group founder goes it alone in Richmond,” News, March 29), I received terrible bullying on the Internet, and Facebook. Is this the response that I deserve when I just made the modest com-
Dear Editor, Re: “Medical system’s missing link,” Voices, April 14. I’ve just read your column. I wonder if maybe one of the pertinent questions might be to ask why there is a shortage of doctors? Has the cost to earn a doctorate of medicine become out of reach for most? What can be done, if so? One of the reasons might be that, in fact, the cost of malpractice insurance has recently taken a huge leap and the government hasn’t offered to help with subsidizing. It may prohibit my own doctor’s private practice (early retirement). The government has seen fit to cap a doctor’s income (there is most certainly a reason) but has it looked at whether a practice can survive with these caps? Or maybe a look at why malpractice insurance has had to increase so much. Or maybe a look at a presumed increase in malpractice claims. No judgement ... just saying. E A Davidson Richmond
ment, “Disagreement doesn’t mean discrimination”? Isn’t it exactly the manifest of the oppression that I mentioned in the news article? I would leave that to our readers to judge. Mr. Halliday blatantly made the false claim that I am “discriminating against LGBTQ students.” As a matter of fact, I have two friends from the LGBTQ community and we get along very well. The reason? We respect each other and never impose our ideas on each other. In Canada’s free society, everyone has the right to believe in what he/she chooses to believe in. If you choose to believe in the gender theory based on which there are tens of genders, it is your right. As an MLA candidate, I strive to defend your right to believe in that theory, no matter whether I believe in that theory or not. At the same time, I strive equally hard to defend people’s right when they choose not to believe in such a theory. Similar to religions, our public schools should never enforce the indoctrination of the gender theory, although one should be free to believe in it without suffering from any discrimination. Before you write letters to the newspaper, do your due diligence and verify your assumptions, please! Dong Pan Richmond

Dear Editor, While I totally support the need for a new crossing of the south arm of the Fraser River, I have some reservations about the proposed new bridge to be built atop the George Massey Tunnel. As a part of the planning process, boreholes were drilled to depths more than 1,000 feet on both sides of the river. It turns out that the boreholes, as reported about three years ago, revealed nothing but sand and silt. At some depths, it was so mushy that cores could not be retrieved. n Is the new bridge crossing the Fraser River The plan, as being built on unsuitable ground? Photo I understand, submitted is to build two concrete towers, 500 feet or more high, astride the George Massey Tunnel to support a bridge deck, 10 lanes wide on nothing more than waterlogged sand and silt. One can’t help but think about the possibility of two leaning and sinking towers. I suspect another tunnel with four (possibly six) new lanes while retaining the proposed Highway 99 roadway/ transit improvements could be designed and built in less time and at less cost versus the proposed bridge.

hey came. They stretched. They posed. And this Easter Sunday (April 16), yoga lovers and first-timers also raised a bunch of money for local bunny rabbits in need of homes. Clients at Sunberry Fitness in the east Cambie area took part in what has become a semi-regular event at the Richmond studio — a fundraiser for Bandaid for Bunnies, a local rabbit rescue and shelter organization. The Easter Bunny Yoga class is the studio’s most popular, said Nancy Lin, who co-owns Sunberry Fitness with high school friend Julia Zu. When tickets for the event went on sale about a month ago, they sold out in two-and-a-half hours. Revenue from the sale went directly to the rabbit rescue charity. “This year, we’ve raised more than $1,000 between the Easter and Valentine’s Day fundraisers,” said Lin in an email. “The fund goes to helping feed the bunnies and pay for their medical expense.” Around 30 people took part in the event. Lin added that all of the bunnies, who hopped around the studio floor and around their clients, are available for

Sharing Farm endures soggy spring Earth Day Summit SARAHDREWERY Down to Earth
T
he question that everyone is asking us at the moment is: “How is all this rain affecting the Sharing Farm?” It’s a good question. There has been a lot of rainfall this winter and spring. In fact, March saw the most rainfall since 1956. That’s a large amount of water! Our fields are certainly showing it. Rubber boots are a mandatory requirement and there are ducks swimming in between the beds. At least something is enjoying the weather! The garlic has survived the winter, due to us piling up the earth a couple of feet to combat the inevitable saturation. We like to refer to this area of the farm as the “Venice of Garlic” due to the deep canals between the rows. This is not great news for the season. We will need at least a week of dry weather to be able to till our fields. If we tilled when wet, our clay soil would set into a cement-like consistency, creating a hard-pan that would only add to our flooding woes. We also won’t have the luxury of using our flame weeder in the early season. This clever tool provides a clean and easy way of killing weeds. We

Breakthrough win for Hirayama & Canada Mark Booth
Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com
I
t was a historical win for Canada’s men’s sevens rugby team and Richmond’s own Nathan Hirayama had a leading role. For the first time ever, Canada is cup champions in the HSBC Rugby Seven Series after a 26-19 victory over the United States in the Singapore Sevens title game. Hirayama, was named player of the match and also was joined by teammate Justin Douglas on the tournament Dream Team. It was the second ever cup final for Canada, whose first final appearance came in the 2014 Glasgow Sevens, which was a loss to New Zealand. Canada had gone 2-1 on day one to advance into the cup competition then produced huge wins over New Zealand (26-14) and Vancouver champions England (17-5) to advance to the championship match. “I’m speechless, I’m so proud of the boys. We’ve been working so hard, a lot of us for so long, and it feels so good to put a tournament together and get it done,” said Hirayama. “We got a bit of a kick in the butt last night after Fiji hammered us and it was a bit of a wake-up call. We told ourselves

we’d come out hard this morning and we just kept rolling.” Hirayama, 29, came through the Richmond Rugby Club and also had an outstanding high school career with the McRoberts Strikers where he was coached by his father Garry Hirayama — a longtime
teacher at the school and former national team player himself. Nathan went on to play for the University of Victoria and the B.C. Bears. He made his debut with the Canadian Sevens team when he was just 18 and has also suited up for the national 15s side.

Canada reached the semi-final on the back of Hirayama in the victory over New Zealand. He got things going for Canada early on as his lovely side-step fooled the New Zealand defence and he touched down for an early 7-0 advantage.
Despite Regan Ware’s response, Canada would come back strong as Hirayama would grab his second try after taking a John Moonlight off-load, who had been the benefactor of a Justin Douglas line break. Mike Fuailefau extended the Canadian lead to 19-7 prior to the break, before New Zealand hit back through Trael Joess. However, Hirayama would have the last laugh and completed his hat-trick to send Canada into the cup semis. The final saw the Canadians come flying out of the gates — building a commanding 19-0 lead. The U.S. came roaring back with 19 unanswered points before Lucas Hammond took a pass from Hirayama and broke the deadlock with just 90 seconds remaining. Day one action saw Canada defeat Russia (28-15) and Hong Kong (34-0) before falling 35-7 to Fiji. “Coach (Damian McGrath) gave us a bit of (tongue) lashing (after the Fiji loss). We just wanted to make him proud and make everyone back home proud so we just kind of went through the day one game at a time,” added Hirayama. Canada now sits seventh in the overall HSBC Rugby Sevens standings. The series continues next month in Paris before concluding in London.

After a fiercely determined but short battle with cancer, Chris passed away suddenly on April 7, 2017 at Richmond Hospital with Marie by his side. Chris was our hero; he is so loved and will be greatly missed by Marie (Janzen), his mother Kathleen, sisters Karen and Maureen, brother-in-law Don (Carissa), nephew Kaden, and niece Sophia, many wonderful life-time, long-time, and new friends as well as folks whose lives he touched only briefly. A life-long Richmond resident, Chris’ passion and career centred on the automotive service industry. From apprentice to journeyman to manufacturer’s representative to retail management, he lived and loved every path his life’s journey took him on. In his spare time Chris always enjoyed yard and garden work; he spent the past several years working his hobby with a professional landscape team; enjoying the outdoors and physical work. Chris loved the sunshine and with Marie, was able to travel to many interesting (and warm) places around the world. Chris will be remembered for his calm, accepting and welcoming persona, his strength of character and integrity; he was a loyal, kind and generous friend to many. His garage door was always open to welcome his friends to his “clubhouse in the ‘hood”. Chris’ family would like to thank all of the wonderful health professionals at the BC Cancer Clinic that were part of his recent care and treatment. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Foundation. A Celebration of Chris’ life will be held on Sunday, April 23, 2017 between 11:30am and 3:30pm at Steveston Seafood House, 3951 Moncton St, Richmond. You are encouraged to share your memories of Chris at email: rememberingchris@telus.net At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not competence but our character; and not our success but our significance. Live a life that matters. Live a life of Love. ~unknown Richmond Funeral Home Reception and Cremation Centre 604-273-3748

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
