Richmond’s 6th homicide of 2017 happened in broad daylight Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

P

olice are probing Richmond’s sixth homicide of 2017, after the body of 24-yearold Jasdeep Singh Klair was found in a car in a family neighbourhood during Mother’s Day. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) released the victim’s name on Monday afternoon, almost 24 hours after his silver BMW veered off the road and crashed into a property near Granville Avenue and No. 2 Road. It appears that the car hit some shrubbery on the corner of Ledway Road, west of No. 2 Road at about 2:25 p.m.

Klair, who is known to police, was pro-

nounced dead at the scene and IHIT is treating the incident as a targeted shooting.

It is believed that Klair was shot while driving his vehicle and, as a result of his injuries, lost consciousness, resulting in the car crashing a short distance away.

Despite people in the area hearing the gunfire, police did not receive any calls to attend for shots fired, but rather were called for the car crash following the shooting.

Police say the evidence, thus far, points to a vehicle in the Lindsay Road neighbourhood, that fled the scene after Klair was shot.

The suspect vehicle was found less than an hour later in the 4400-block of Thompson Road and is described as a 2010, orange Kia Forte, which was reported stolen from the Surrey area in March.

“This homicide occurred in a heavily populated residential area at a busy time of day,” said IHIT Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound.

“Due to the distinct description of this vehicle, police believe there are individuals who can assist in bringing further information forward and/or assist by identifying the occupant(s) of the suspect vehicle.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers or the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448.

The daytime homicide was described as “brazen” by an RCMP officer at the scene.

The incident is eerily similar to Richmond’s first homicide of 2017.

On Jan. 10, Calvin Chi Hang Zhao, 21, was found dead with gunshot wounds in an SUV near Granville Avenue and Ash Street.

Recount rejected in Richmond-Queensborough GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

T

here will be no recount of initial votes in the Richmond-Queensborough riding, after Elections BC refused a request by the BC NDP to take a second look at the ballot boxes from last week’s provincial election.

The results were close — with BC Liberal candidate Jas Johal squeaking out victory over New Democrat Aman Singh, by 263 votes — and a final tally should be complete

by May 24, when absentee votes are added to the initial vote count, which includes advanced and general polls.

Two other recount requests by the NDP were also rejected — in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain and Maple Ridge-Mission.

Meanwhile, recounts in Vancouver-False Creek and Courtenay-Comox (requested by the BC Liberals), where the NDP won by just nine votes, were granted.

The Courtenay-Comox recount is the one most likely to determine the outcome of the election, including whether or not the Liberals hold a majority of seats. Presently, they hold 43 seats to the NDP’s 41 and the Green Party’s three. Forty-four seats clinches a majority.

Glen Sanford, deputy director for the BC NDP, did not tell the News on Friday on what legal grounds a recount had been asked for in Richmond-Queensborough, instead stating: “We think it’s reasonable to recount the ballots, double-check everything.”

On Saturday, Elections BC refused the party’s request, stating, via a news release that “recount requests were not accepted if they did not meet the requirements of the Election Act. In cases where the difference between the top two candidates is greater than 100 votes, recount requests must include factual basis that ballots were not correctly accepted or rejected, or that a ballot account does not accurately record the number of votes for a candidate.”

A recount was granted in Vancouver False Creek because there was a discrepancy with a ballot box.

The two recounts are in addition to tallying absentee votes, which account for about nine per cent of the total vote in B.C. this election (176,000 out of 1.98 million votes).

Absentee votes are those that are cast outside of a person’s voting station.

About half of absentee votes are simply people voting inside their electoral riding, but at a different station than what their voting card indicates, according to Elections BC. “Up to four electoral districts may flip from one party to another when the final count is announced,” suggested UBC economist Kevin Milligan on UBC.ca.

Based on data from the last election, Milligan gives the Liberals an 11.4 per cent chance of winning a majority, considering the absentee votes have a “systemic” NDP lean.

Absentee votes should narrow the gap between Singh and Johal in RichmondQueensborough, but the chance of Singh winning is still very low, at six per cent, according to Milligan.

There were 18,027 initial votes counted in Richmond-Queensborough on election day, meaning there should be about 1,800 absentee ballots to count (although last election, in the Richmond-East riding, the rate of absentee votes was about 10 per cent less than the provincial average).

A straight up comparison between this election and last is impossible in RichmondQueensborough, because it is a new riding.

About 85 per cent of the riding is the old Richmond-East riding and it now includes New Westminster’s Queensborough neighbourhood.

There were 1,697 absentee votes cast in Richmond-East, in 2013, and they showed a slight edge to the NDP, compared to the initial count; the NDP secured 30.3 per cent while the Liberals took 51 per cent. The final count (advanced and election-day voting) saw 29 per cent for the NDP and 55 per

n Candidate Aman Singh (right) and his BC NDP party requested a recount of the RichmondQueensborough election results after he lost by 263 votes. The request was denied because there was no evidence the initial count may have been incorrect. File photo

cent for the Liberals.

In the New Westminster riding (where Queensborough used to be counted), the final vote was 49 per cent NDP and 33 per cent Liberal. In absentee voting, the NDP got 51 per cent of the votes; the Liberals 29.9 per cent.

So, based on the 2013 results, Singh seems likely to pick up some votes on Johal.

The recounts and addition of absentee votes will be known May 24 when everything should be finalized by Elections BC, unless a riding is so close (0.02 per cent between candidates) that it requires a judicial recount.

If the status quo remains (and odds are it does, said Milligan), the Liberals would hold the first opportunity to form government, according to UBC political scientist David Moscrop.

Premier Christy Clark can form a minority government with support from the BC Green Party, or create a coalition with the Greens (in which case the Greens would hold cabinet positions).

If Clark fails to do so, said Moscrop, she could call a new election. However, the Lt. Gov., Judith Guichon, would likely give the NDP a chance to form government.

Moscrop said, via Twitter and MacLeans. ca, that any minority government arrangement is legitimate, however they are usually not long-lasting (coalitions are stronger).

Green leader Andrew Weaver has indicated electoral reform and campaign finance reform are of paramount importance in a minority situation, with either the Liberals or New Democrats.

He told the Vancouver Sun this week that a coalition is unlikely.

Voter turnout estimates: Richmond trails yet again Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

P

reliminary election turnout estimates show Richmond, once again, trailing the province in engaged voters.

Elections BC stated Friday that preliminary voter turnout is 60 per cent province-wide.

The rate was calculated by dividing the estimated total votes by the estimated number of registered voters. In order to

get these estimates, Elections BC tacked on 10 per cent to the initial vote count, to account for absentee votes, and three per cent to the registered voter tally, to account for those who registered after April 11, when the election was called.

The Richmond News has applied those same calculations to each individual riding.

Of the estimated 134,466 registered voters in Richmond’s four ridings, an estimated 70,827 cast their vote, meaning the city (and

Queensborough) had a turnout of 52.7 per cent.

Voter turnout fluctuated greatly throughout the city.

In Richmond North Centre it was 47.3 per cent; in RichmondQueensborough it was 54.8 per cent; in Richmond South Centre it was 44.1 per cent; and in Richmond-Steveston it was 63 per cent.

Accounting for a three per cent increase of registered voters since the election writ, Richmond North Centre had 32,004

registered voters, RichmondQueensborough had 36,200, Richmond South Centre had 30,996 and Richmond-Steveston had 35,266.

Then, accounting for a 10 per cent increase in total votes due to absentee ballots, Richmond North Centre should see 15,126 ballots, Richmond-Queensborough should see 19,830, Richmond South Centre should see 13,662 and Richmond-Steveston should see 22,209.

Precise voter turnout figures

will be known after the final count (May 24) and when the number of registered voters is tabulated in late August, according to Elections BC. Last provincial election, Richmond Centre had 43.7 per cent voter turnout, the worse across the province.

Voter turnout rates should not change much when comparing total votes to eligible voters because it’s estimated 96.7 per cent of eligible voters are registered in B.C.

Time runs out on farmhouse fight Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

I

magine, as a kid, you’ve waited patiently for five months for Christmas to finally arrive.

On the eve of, you stay up all night fighting sleep, counting the seconds and minutes, doing everything in your power to stay awake.

And then, boom. Santa bails.

Save for jingle bells and presents, that’s roughly how it went down Monday night at Richmond City Hall after another marathon meeting — this time a public hearing — ended with no pay-off for the 150-or-so weary souls who’d packed council chambers to vent their feelings on proposals that include setting house size limits on farmland at 10,764-square-feet.

At a few minutes shy of 1 a.m. on Tuesday, and after almost six hours of pleas from both sides — some more articulate than others — city council simply ran out of legal time to discuss, decide and, ultimately, vote on the controversial issue, which has pitted urban residents and food security advocates against farmers and landowners.

And, after around 16 hours of heated debate over three meetings in as many weeks, the result was, you guessed it, another meeting; tonight (Wednesday, May 17) back at city hall, where every one of the dozens who spoke Monday night will get another three minutes each at the mic.

At issue is a proposal to limit house sizes on AG1 (agricultural land) to 1,000-square-metres (10,764-square-feet), if the land it’s being built on is at least half an acre in size. Anything less than half an acre would be subject to 500-square-metres (5,382 square feet), which was city’s staff’s original recommendation last month for all lot sizes and is in line with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture’s guidelines.

The moves were prompted earlier this year after a proliferation of applications to build gigantic “mega homes” on Rich-

mond’s farmland. Previously, Couns. Harold Steves and Carol Day were the only two on council opposed to the increased sizes — both want smaller footprints on the farmland.

The maximum setback distances from the road are also being proposed for an increase, from 60 metres to 75.

Also on the table is a bylaw that sets out criteria for rezoning, should a farmer or landowner want to build beyond the proposed 1,000-square-metre limit.

The city’s planning manager, Terry Crowe, said previously that cultural and intergenerational reasons would be taken into consideration for a bigger house size, although a need to accommodate more workers — coupled with an acceptable farm plan — would need to be demonstrated.

As with previous meetings, on Monday night, opinions expressed to council, with very few exceptions, were split down the middle; one half begging Mayor Malcolm Brodie and councillors to adhere to ministry guidelines on house sizes to “protect” farmland erosion, while the other cautioned against curtailing farmers’ flexibility and limiting their ability to house extended families.

One of the early speakers, Jim Wright, a long-time Richmond activist, spoke of a “Richmond Farmland Massacre,”

with agricultural land across the city, from January to April this year, being “fragmented and lost to farming.”

Referring to some farmers’ assertion that they need larger homes for cultural reasons and for extended families, Sandra Bourque questioned the need for “theatres and bowling alleys for farming. How much space do you need per person?”

On the farming/landowning side, Bruce May reminded council that “farmland needs farmers to farm it.”

“This is a business, not just a green space; let’s keep it attractive for farmers.”

Peter Dhillon, whose family has been farming for almost 40 years in Richmond, said he was “disappointed” to see farmers being pitted against Richmond residents.

“Without farmers there is no farming,” he said. “I felt tonight, as a Richmond farmer, I’d done something wrong. I understand the mega home issue.

“But what allowed me to grow was the flexibility; without that, farmers are in trouble. Don’t lump the farmers into one group, there are legitimate farmers out there...be careful.”

By 12:45 a.m., the crowd had thinned considerably, leaving behind a die-hard band of around 40 to 50, doing whatever they could to stretch and stay awake.

espite a cool and damp spring, Metro Vancouver started to enforce its annual lawn watering regulations in Richmond and across the region this week, until Oct 15.

The restrictions are in place to help conserve Metro Vancouver’s high-quality, treated drinking water and ensure sufficient water is available through to fall.

These region-wide watering regulations are part of Stage 1 in a four-stage, water restrictions plan outlined in Metro Vancouver’s Water Shortage Response Plan. The regional government states they are an effective way to ensure residents in the region use drinking water wisely. The regulations are enforced by the City of Richmond’s Water Use Restrictions Bylaw No. 7784.

Stage 1 lawn watering regulations are as follows: Residential lawn watering allowed: • Even-numbered addresses: Monday,

Wednesday, Saturday mornings 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.

• Odd-numbered addresses: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday mornings 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Non-residential lawn watering allowed: • Even-numbered addresses: Monday, Wednesday mornings 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.

• Odd-numbered addresses: Tuesday, Thursday mornings 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.

• All non-residential addresses: Friday mornings, 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.

These restrictions only apply to lawn watering and not to watering flowers, vegetables, shrubs, and trees. Morning lawn watering avoids evening hours when demand for water is highest for domestic uses, including dishwashing, laundry and showers.

The restrictions only apply to the use of treated drinking/tap water and not to the use of rain water, grey water or recycled water.

pre-diabetes Brazen car thief sought screening Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

P

olice are looking for help in tracking down a brazen thief who stole a woman’s car right in front of her, moments after a failed attempt at a similar crime.

The incidents happened shortly before 3 p.m. on March 24 in 8300 block of Granville Avenue, between No. 3 and Garden City roads.

In the first of the two incidents, a woman had parked her black, 2015 Honda CR-V in front of a convenience store.

The suspect allegedly grabbed her car keys and attempted to drive away in her vehicle, but he was confronted by a Good Samaritan and was frightened off.

The suspect then fled on foot a short distance to a neighbouring townhouse complex and, about three minutes later, he is believed to have stolen a grey, Honda CR-V, with licence plate 102RWW. As the suspect drove away, he allegedly struck the owner with her own vehicle. Luckily, she was not seriously injured.

Richmond Mounties have released a forensic sketch of the suspect in addition to security footage in the hopes that someone will recognize him.

He is described as Caucasian or Asian, 25-30 years of age, five feet, 11 inches tall, of medium build and having short dark hair.

He was also clean shaven and was last seen wearing a black, puffy jacket with a fur-lined hood.

Richmond's coyotes show little fear Dear Editor, I reported this to BC Wildlife Services.

Walking around Garry Point Park, at 6 p.m. on a sunny Sunday, we came up beside Scotch Pond and a coyote walked out of the bushes, right to the edge of the path and just stood there — no more than 20 feet away.

Seemingly not afraid, I thought it might continue advancing, but as some people approached from the other direction, it turned and walked back into the bush.

This is a bit concerning — a coyote with no fear, in bright sunlight at a busy park.

Dan Hume Richmond

n According to BC Wildlife Services, the public should keep a safe distance from coyotes and resist the urge to feed them.

Time for Liberals to take pause

Dear Editor, Despite the Liberal sweep in Richmond in last week’s provincial election, Richmond voted for change. Fiftytwo per cent of voters did not vote Liberal. I wonder how much higher that number could have been if all parties were on a level playing field. The Liberal candidates had hundreds of thousands of dollars in corporate donations to dump into their campaigns, while the other parties depended on grassroots supporters to get their messages out.

Even with this disadvantage, their efforts worked. The number of votes for non-Liberal candidates proves that Richmond is no longer a sleepy, Liberal suburb. The results of the election show that the majority of residents agree that Richmond needs a change from being underrepresented and overlooked for so many years.

It is obvious that they do not have the support of the majority, so I urge our MLAs to seriously reflect on the wishes of Richmond residents.

City cashes in on seniors voting Dear Editor, My wife and I are very disappointed.

We seniors were ticketed on voting day for parking our vehicle opposite the voting station. I couldn’t find a handicapped parking spot close to the voting station, as my wife is very limited in her movements.

I was issued a parking ticket. I went to city hall to get an exemption, but was denied. I have a disabled decal. I then paid the $35 dollar ticket. How many other handicapped senior citizens were ticketed while trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote?

Voting day has been a costly day.

It’s taken a few dollars from my groceries.

Dear Editor, The recently concluded provincial election in B.C. has given much needed credibility to the pollsters.

On a number of occasions, the poll takers had egg on their face. It all started with the 2013 B.C. election, when most of the polls were predicting an BC NDP win. As things turned out, the BC Liberals defied all odds.

Then it was the provincial election in Alberta. Nobody, including the pollsters, had expected that Alberta New Democrats, led by Rachel Notley, to achieve an impressive victory over the Conservative dynasty that had ruled the province for almost 40 years.

Then came Donald Trump on the scene. Every pollster was predicting a win by Democrat Hillary Clinton over the Republican.

It appears that most of the polling firms had learned their lesson and were very cautious this time around.

Every poll was predicting a very close race between the two main contenders, the Liberals and NDP, with Andrew Weaver’s Greens as a

wild card. This is exactly what happened, so our pollsters can breathe a sigh of relief.

Their credibility has been restored, up to some extent. We will find out the final election standings by May 24 when more than 176,000 absentee and mail ballots are counted.

There may be some surprises in store for British Columbians when they wake up on May 25.

Locally, the election results were no surprise. Definitely, the New Democrat and the Green votes in Richmond have gone up considerably. However, the end result is the same, as expected by many.

In this regard, I would like to offer my congratulations, not only to the winners, but also to all of the candidates who were brave enough to put forward their names for public service.

This is what democracy is all about. We should all be proud of the democratic process and thank each one of the candidates for participating in this process.

Min. Stone banks on gullibility, not prudence Dear Editor, Re: “Interest on bridge debt could total $8 billion,” Richmond News, May 10.

In the late 1800s, con artists in New York used to make a fortune selling the Brooklyn Bridge to gullible victims.

B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone must be hoping

British Columbians are equally gullible.

Why else would he think we would buy the argument that a loan for a bridge is like a mortgage on a house? There is no market for used bridges. Bridges don’t appreciate in value. You don’t get the same financial return on your investment when

you pay off a bridge as you do when you pay off your house.

A used bridge is like a used car; you hope it lasts for a few years after you’ve paid it off, then you keep repairing it, or trade it in. I guess Mr. Stone is hoping this bridge will be like a ’67 Ferrari. Maybe it will, and maybe this bridge really is being

built to alleviate congestion and not so that tankers can ply the newly-dredged waters of the Fraser River in order to ship liquefied natural gas overseas.

Maybe. But if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you.

Pub night for Peru NOW SELLING!

P

lain packages of pencils.

That’s all it took to bring beaming smiles to the faces of young children when Rafael Recavarren helped hand out the writing supplies in an impoverished neighbourhood during a trip to Peru last December.

“It was like Christmas for them and we gave them iPhones,” said the McMath grad, who recently completed his third year in business school in Toronto at the University of Western Ontario.

“Who knew something as simple as pencils could bring them so much happiness.”

Recavarren is hoping to re-establish smiles on the faces of those children, as well as their parents and many others, as he promotes a fundraising event on May 27 at Legends Pub in Richmond, that will help bring assistance to a country hard hit by a series of natural weather disasters, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.

“And in many cases, it’s the people who have very little who have suffered the most,” said Recavarren, 20, whose parents came to Canada from Peru 25 years ago and established a car maintenance specialty garage locally.

This year, the El Nino current hit the South American country extremely hard, creating severe floods and landslides that has left many critical services, such as hospitals and schools, badly damaged or destroyed in their wake.

Estimates put the homeless, directly impacted by the disaster, at 600,000. And since Peru has a lower profile on the international stage than most other countries, assistance efforts for residents of the impacted towns and villages, where many live in Third World conditions, has not been widespread.

“For me, Peru, it’s like my second home,” said Recavarren, whose family make regular trips there to re-connect with family. “It’s

my heritage. It’s where many of my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents still live.”

The visits are also a way to keep her children grounded and thankful for what they have here in Canada, said Recavarren’s mother, Stephanie.

“There’s no poverty here in Canada,” she said. “But in Peru, it’s like a Third World country, where families live on $100 a year.

“And we take the kids to Peru, not only to visit family, but to also encourage them to see the reality of life there for many.”

When it comes to raising funds for Peru’s disaster victims, there’s also some reluctance to donate because of widespread corruption in the country, which hampers efforts to deliver aid to where it can do the most good.

But thanks to a growing number of charities and non-profit organizations in Peru, the situation is getting better.

That’s why Recavarren said he has enlisted the help of Fundacion Oli - a well-known and established foundation in Peru, which donates 100 per cent of the money it raises to needy causes.

“The government there doesn’t do much,” Stephanie said. “So, it’s those people in Peru who belong to the higher social classes and have had a more privileged upbringing who are stepping in and helping fill the gap.”

The goal is to raise $5,000 through a crowd-funding page Recavarren has also set up for those who cannot attend the pub night. ”And a dollar there is much more useful than a dollar here,” he said, adding each $70 raised can provide clean water for 100 people. And $50 can feed a family of five for a week.

For more information about the crowdfunding page, visit online at YouCaring.com/ FundacionOli-820255. Tickets for a burger and a beer during the May 27 pub night at Legends are $20, with $10 going towards disaster relief efforts.

All the best of the harvest, served up in a basket plan what and how much to grow. It also helps to reduce waste.

t the Sharing Farm, our primary purpose is to grow food to donate to the Richmond Food Bank.

However, we also sell up to 30 per cent of our produce to keep the farm in operation.

One of the ways we do this is through our Harvest Basket program. A harvest basket is a way of getting the freshest, most local produce you can imagine.

The idea behind the basket is that the customer commits to buying a box of produce once a week throughout the growing season.

This provides some stability to small farmers, as they can

produce is as fresh and as local as it gets. It’s usually harvested the day before pick up and sometimes even that very morning.

Secondly, it’s a lot of fun to learn about where your food comes from. One customer told me: “It’s an exciting event for my family, the kids come with me to pick it up and sometimes there’s a battle about who gets to go!

“My youngest loves to quiz the farmer about all the different vegetables.” Another said: “I love going to pick up the baskets because I get to talk to the farmer directly; it makes me excited to go home and start cooking.”

Finally, it’s definitely going to motivate you to eat your five-aday!

There’s nothing like a basket of produce in your fridge to persuade you to add a few extra veggies to every meal.

One mother said: “My family is pretty dedicated to eating lots of fresh produce, but even so, when the harvest basket finishes at the end of the season we really notice that the amount of vegetables we eat goes down.”

Our harvest baskets are not only for those who can afford to buy them. Thanks to sponsorship from the Richmond Lions Club, Nicola Wealth, Lafarge and Vega, five, low-income families in Richmond will also receive harvest baskets this year.

At the Sharing Farm, we passionately believe that good quality produce shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy and we thank these organizations for helping us achieve this vision.

We still have harvest baskets for sale, so if you are interested in upping your nutrient intake while supporting a good cause, get on our website and sign yourself up. Your body, and your neighbours in need, will thank you!

he Kwantlen Street. Farmers Market is back for another season and visitors are in store for some changes that have made the event much more visible to the public.

The market, which runs weekly on Tuesdays, has shifted to a new location. It has shifted from KPU’s back parking lot, which would have hidden the event behind construction of the new, Wilson School of Design, to the front entrance plaza of KPU, right on Lansdowne Road.

According to organizers, visibility to passersby is, as a result, much greater. Plus, the market is now nestled between the tiered garden beds that KPU’s farm school students use to grow their organic market produce which is for sale, making it a unique market experience.

The market’s hours have also changed to 12 – 4 p.m., to fit both the agriculture students’ programming/classroom times.

It now allows them to harvest during classroom hours in the morning. The new time also reflects the majority of comments organizers heard last year to have the market run earlier in the day.

The overall goal is also to expand the market this year and encourage more of the local Richmond farming community to attend. There is also free face painting for children at the Kids Booth and free parking right on campus enter off Lansdowne Road, or Kwantlen Street and follow the signs.

Alongside fresh organic, seasonal produce, Baguette & Co. provides decadent, French baking, and Rockweld Farm joins the vendor lineup with their SPCA-certified chicken and eggs.

This week, market-goers will also find Charisse Collections, BC Buzz Honey, and Hibiscus Foods will be there to introduce their AH-mazing Jamaican Patties.

Retirement For Beginners

T

houghtful person that she is, my good friend, Carol, called a couple days ago to invite my husband Harvey and I over for Mother’s Day dinner.

Knowing that I lost my mom seven months ago, she said “It must be hard for you not having her here anymore.” To which I replied: “It isn’t that hard until someone mentions it.”

And that’s how it starts.

The tears flowed as I looked at photos of Mom from her last few months, so tiny and confused.

Pictures of her are scattered throughout our home, reminding me of her transition from an elegant, wellcoifed, educated woman, to a woman whose dementia had stolen all but the last remnants of her personality, mind and body. Ironically, it’s at this stage that she is least enigmatic.

It bothers me that my memories fast forward to my parents’ final few days, instead of remembering them in their prime, when they were healthy and vital.

Why is it I rarely think of Mom cooking, making pottery, and entertaining guests?

I suppose an argument could be made that, because of their lingering illnesses, at least I had a chance to get used to the idea that my parents’ end was near. Still, it’s

always a shock.

The difference was this: while my dad’s kidney disease ravaged his body, his mind was still sharp as a tack.

So, I had lots of chances to ask him what I needed to ask, and say what I needed to say. I wasn’t that lucky with Mom, who slipped away from me by teaspoonful, almost daily.

When I realized all the things I didn’t know about her, it was already too late. That is a sad place to be.

Seven months since Mom’s passing and 14 years since Dad’s, I still feel incredibly guilty when I realize how much simpler and less stressful my life is now.

Would I change it all to have them back? Of course I would.

Every day I feel grateful and blessed for the time I had with them, and for all the gifts they gave me: unconditional love, security, a great education, and so much more.

What it teaches me is not to take anyone for granted, and to hold close the gift of love.

Clear Skin from Within

Works by cleansing the blood from the inside, instead of attacking the skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Helps with eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea. !“After one week, my acne became quite mild and after two weeks, it had completely vanished. I suffered for five stressful years with acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Clear Skin “saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I had skin problems for years.” Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON.!“Red nose/cheeks gone in less than a week.

I was fighting it for thirty years with topical creams and prescriptions without (Product #60, NPN 80063317) getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. I will take it for the rest of my life when needed.” Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON. “I had psoriasis patches on over 95% of my body. For the last five years, I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Clear Skin, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within two days, I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before.” Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC. “For six years, my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Clear Skin for just a few days, my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long, I am amazed with the results.” Andy Yuen, 58, Vancouver, BC. Results may vary from one person to another.

Blueliner thrives for U18 Chinese national team Mark Booth

is Grade 7 buddy at Dixon Elementary School turned out to be one the most accomplished hockey players ever to come out of Richmond. Now, Julius Zhang is making a name for himself with the Chinese national program.

The 17-year-old defenceman helped China capture gold at the recent U18 Division 3A World Junior Hockey Championships in Chinese Taipei. Zhang served as assistant team captain and managed eight points in five games as his team rolled to an unbeaten record to earn promotion to the Division 2B group in 2018.

Zhang and his family moved to Canada when he was four. He attended Dixon and partnered up with none other than Vancouver Canucks defenceman Troy Stecher as his Grade 7 buddy.

“Little did I know he would become a top defenceman with the Vancouver Canucks,” grinned Zhang. “It’s pretty cool realizing this guy who was my big buddy who would go on to play junior ‘A,’ college hockey then in the NHL. Just following his journey and seeing how successful he has become.”

With Zhang’s closest friends all playing hockey at the time, he decided to sign-up too. He would go on to thrive at the sport — playing for rep teams with Seafair and Richmond Minor. He spent one year at the Elite 15 level in the Delta Hockey Academy before jumping to major midget with the

about it. I want to be an example for them,” said Zhang.

“My goal is to be a pioneer for younger players and be an inspiration to them.

Someone to look up to like Troy Stecher was to me.”

Since being rewarded the 2022 Winter Olympics which assures spots in the men’s and women’s tournaments as the host nation, China has amped up its ice hockey program in a big way.

The men’s program hired coach Aleksander Barkov through the ’22 Games. His main duties is to oversee the U18 and U20 national teams.

“More and more rinks are being built there. When they want something, it gets done, where here it’s more of a process.

We were lucky to be working with really good coaches like Barkov,” continued Zhang.

“One of my goals now is to represent my country again. The cool thing is China is one of the only countries that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. The moment you get a Canadian passport, you are done.”

It was through the efforts and contacts of Zhang’s father Johnny that led to his national team opportunity. He flew to Beijing back in December to participate in an initial tryout camp that featured three full teams of prospects. He was among 30 players who received an invite to the main two-week training camp in February that cut his junior “B” season short. He then made a third and final trip back to China to prepare for the world tourney.

Wildcats advance to Lower Mainland AA rugby final

M

cMath Wildcats will be at Stanley Park’s Brockton Oval Thursday afternoon for their first-ever appearance in the Lower Mainland “AA” boys rugby championship game.

The Wildcats will take on West Vancouver’s Collingwood Cavaliers for the New

Zealand Shield at 3:15 p.m. thanks to a semi-final victory last week that also locked up a berth in the upcoming B.C. “AA” Championships.

Jason Roberts’ second try of the afternoon sealed a 19-12 home field victory over the Rockridge Ravens. Roberts touched

down after a terrific 30-metre run by Zach Ballin had put the hosts in scoring range.

Seth Wong-Hen also scored for McMath in the opening half, while Jacob Lorenz added a pair of converts.

The Ravens produced a late unconverted try but it was their second loss to McMath

this season after also dropping a 22-12 league decision a month earlier.

The Lower Mainland final will feature the province’s second and fourth ranked teams.

Unbeaten Collingwood handed McMath its only regular season loss — a 43-20 defeat back on May 2.

TRUTH IN EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.
