Landing plan sent to public Rezoning would allow for 32-unit hotel, retail and office space Staff Reporter

O

ne of Richmond’s most politically charged developments is set to go to a public hearing this October.

A majority of city councillors have agreed to let the public weigh in on a proposal by Onni Group to rezone Steveston’s Imperial Landing, to allow a 32-unit hotel, and retail and office space.

On Monday, councillors discussed the merits of the proposal at a committee meeting. They agreed the deal should be put to the public, which has shown diverging views on what to do regarding the quagmire that began in 2012, when Onni built six buildings under maritime zoning but quickly asked to rezone the property to more lucrative commercial uses after the fact.

Since 2013, the City of Richmond and Onni have been in negotiations, leaving

Delta council takes swipes at Richmond as bridge threatened Project in peril with NDP now in power

n Coun. Harold Steves will agree to Onni’s plan if the developer contributes enough money to build a marina at the site. File photo

to allow motorists to escape in the event of an earthquake.

Jackson, who said she recently had come to the aid of a woman who had crashed in the tunnel and had to wait for emergency crews, noted the accident rates are high and more severe at the crossing, something that can be reduced with a bridge.

She said it all boils down to politics and a blatant willingness to try to pass off “myths” as fact in order to kill the project and completely ignore the worsening congestion.

“It’s a regional boys club and it’s like there’s nothing you can do. You might as well just go home... It really is, I think, a devastating travesty, for the people and the economy. It’s a political thing,” said Jackson.

As far as twinning the tunnel, something pushed lately by Richmond Coun. Carol Day, Harvie noted she’s spreading misinformation, relying on an article from a Popular Mechanics magazine from the 1950s.

The analysis compiled by Delta includes comparison that a second tunnel, which Harvie said would have far more environmental impact, would cost around $4.3 billion.

Maintaining the current tunnel would have an estimated $590-million price tag and wouldn’t improve congestion.

Harvie said if the province kills the project, that doesn’t mean that money will automatically flow to other projects.

He added only a fraction of vehicles using the tunnel during peak periods are big rigs, so banning them wouldn’t provide much relief.

Steves said there needs to be enough money on the table to contribute to the construction of a marina. He said a new marina would benefit Onni in the long run. He also said the hotel should only be allowed if there is a plan for a marina.

Considering the offer and without adequate information on a marina, Day and Steves voted against sending the proposal to the public.

Coun. Bill McNulty said sending the proposal to a public hearing would not mean the city has to take it.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said council’s greatest hesitation so far is the contribution amount.

Onni Executive VicePresident Chris Evans told the committee that Steveston merchants are “generally” on board with the proposal as the 23,000-square-foot hotel significantly eats into the retail options for the site.

“There’s good viability with this hotel,” said Evans, noting the company is “confident” in its ability to manage the hotel.

The Steveston Merchants Association called the plan a “reasonable compromise.”

Brodie said he hopes to hear opinions from the public, but at first glance he doesn’t see the hotel having the “trappings of a major hotel.”

He noted the units will have kitchenettes and could be offered for up to 90 days.

“I think it’s a viable application. We should get public input on it,” said Brodie.

Saying Richmond council has at least acknowledged something needs to be done about the congestion by agreeing to now look at alternatives, Jackson at Monday’s council meeting pointed out the tunnel and Highway 99 corridor are a provincial responsibility and not under the purview of the Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Council, which doesn’t even have the crossing on its agenda.

The rest of her council agreed, taking swipes at Day, Richmond council and regional mayors, whom Jackson said have admitted they want the provincial funding for themselves, particularly for Surrey.

Delta Coun. Robert Campbell went so far as describing them as “irresponsible and derelict of their duty” and that they’re “only interested in their own backyards.”

Delta Coun. Bruce McDonald noted the Metro mayors seem intent on building a hugely expensive underground SkyTrain line to UBC to serve 35,000 students for seven months a year, while 80,000 vehicles a day are using the aging tunnel. He said the other mayors seem willing to jeopardize the people and industries of Delta.

Delta Coun. Ian Paton, who was elected as the Liberal MLA for Delta South in May, suggested those who don’t use the tunnel during peak periods should “come out and give it a whirl.”

Delta Coun. Sylvia Bishop said there can’t be a delay in replacing the structure but the other mayors don’t seem willing to find a solution, and only want to say no.

The report is available on Delta’s website and at public libraries.

everal reports spanning thousands of pages, including a cost analysis of the alternatives, have been compiled in an overall volume titled The Safety and Economic Imperative for the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.

It’s an attempt by the Corporation of Delta to sway the new NDP provincial government, sworn in on Tuesday, not to delay or cancel the $3.5-billion bridge.

The report highlights seismic concerns with the tunnel, saying it can’t be upgraded to meet today’s standards and in its present condition is not physically capable of withstanding a moderate to severe earthquake.

As a result, the tunnel poses an unacceptable risk for the travelling public and first responders, Delta Mayor Lois Jackson and CAO George Harvie stated during a media briefing last week prior to the report being discussed at Delta council’s weekly meeting.

Due diligence or racial discrimination?

Richmond School District under fire for scrutinizing residency status GRAEMEWOOD

n Lawyer Lawrence Wong says immigrant parents are being unfairly questioned

by Richmond School District officials. The district says it needs to guard against those coming here to take advantage of free education. Photo by Graeme Wood/Richmond News

Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

R

ichmond-based lawyer Lawrence Wong is alleging school district officials are unfairly over-scrutinizing the residency status of immigrant parents seeking to register their children in the public education system.

But the district claims it is merely doing its due diligence to ensure the system is not abused by non-residents, who should be paying international student fees.

Internal district emails provided by Wong to the Richmond News show officials appear to be dealing with an increase in such cases.

“If you happen to be a new immigrant or racial minority, then they figure they will ask tough questions,” said Wong, on the heels of a dispute between district staff and one of his clients — a Chinese mom seeking to register her child in school this September.

At issue, said Wong, is an alleged arbitrary guideline set forth by the Ministry of Education for school districts to abide by when screening new student registrations.

Wong said parents and children are getting caught in the system, imperiling the principles of compulsory education.

“They turn the residency into a big issue.

In my client’s case, she owns property in the catchment area and pays property (and school) taxes,” explained Wong.

But, said Wong, the mom was put under

unfair scrutiny to show she lived here because her permanent residency card expired. This is a moot point, according to Wong, since expiration doesn’t result in non-residency. He said the district asked her to provide income tax records as proof of residency, despite her being a stay-at-home mom whose husband works in China. This is another moot point, Wong noted, granted her own permanent residency status.

According to the ministry, school districts “must determine, in a fair and even-handed manner, whether an applicant falls within the definition of ‘ordinary resident’ ” for the purpose of government funding.

According to Wong, “they keep changing the goal post. Under the School Act it doesn’t say what reside means. It makes it difficult for

people to meet their requirement.”

However, the ministry states that the courts have interpreted residency to mean a parent has a “settled purpose” for living in the community in a sufficiently continuous manner, despite “temporary absences.” As such, district officials are tasked to determine if a parent has enough “positive indicators” to prove residency, including but not limited to: owning/renting a home, a driver’s licence, employment, a provincially insured vehicle, medical coverage and even membership in community clubs or religious groups.

Wong said it means Canadian-born children could be denied schooling (or that their parents could be forced to pay international student fees) if officials determine their parents or guardians are not residents. To him,

not only is this unethical, but it could lead to instances of people in precarious situations keeping children from being educated.

According to an email from a district official to the ministry, and provided by Wong to the News, friction has arisen between some parents and the district.

“There is a lot of pressure at the district level created by the higher than ever influx of returning PR [permanent residents] or Canadians from long-term absences. Most are very clear that they have returned for the child(rens) education but some cannot accept that this is not automatically free. I resent being called a racist…” wrote the official.

“It doesn’t help when other districts are sometimes not asking the tough questions and allowing funding eligibility when clearly there are no grounds for it . . . I really do wish there could be more consistency,” stated the official.

Richmond Board of Education Chair Debbie Tablotney said she couldn’t speak to specifics, but said the district must determine residency status to receive funding.

District spokesperson David Sadler said all parents are treated equally. First they are asked for proof of citizenship. If that is not provided, they must go to central registration to apply, at which point staff may scrutinize residency status.

“You’ve got to provide some things to allow you to receive a letter of acceptance. You don’t want parents coming here to take advantage of a free education,” said Sadler.

Try a ‘living lawn’ Sprinkling restrictions ease for chafer beetle battlers, but there may be a better way to eliminate the invasive insect Paula Carlson Contributor

F

rom across the courtyard, the terraced greenspace at Richmond City Hall looks like any other patch of lawn.

But up close, visitors can make out tiny purple blooms among the blades – a telltale sign this is not just ordinary grass.

In fact, it’s an elegantsounding Fleur de Lawn – an eco-friendly mix of tall fescue, micro-clover and wildflowers.

it brings in more (beneficial) insects,” said Taryn Hesketh, the city’s environmental coordinator, noting that patches of grass are actually self-contained little ecosystems. “It’s more of a living lawn,” she said.

This living lawn at city hall is Richmond’s way of battling back against an infestation of chafer beetles.

There is also a demonstration lawn at Garden City Park (6620 Garden City Rd.) that showcases alternative grasses/ground covers that are chafer beetle-resistant.

n An adult chafer beetle, left, and its larvae. Damage to lawns occurs when birds and wild animals dig up turf in search of the tasty grubs. Photos submitted

It’s pretty, practical, and best of all, it’s chafer beetle resistant – meaning it won’t get torn to shreds by crows, skunks or racoons looking for the invasive insect’s tasty grubs.

“The mix is more dynamic,

The half-inch beetle, originally from Europe, was first detected in New Westminster in 2001. In recent years, it migrated to Richmond, with the Terra Nova area and city boulevards being hit

the hardest so far. Steveston has remained unaffected, Hesketh said, for now.

Adult chafer beetles begin to emerge in late May and continue to appear in June and throughout July.

After adults lay their eggs in lawns, small larvae known as grubs emerge. They are C-shaped and light-coloured.

The grubs remain near the surface of the soil, where they can devour the grass roots through the winter and into spring. Birds and small wild animals feast on these grubs, and can decimate lawns in the process.

The best way to eliminate a chafer beetle infestation is by replacing the lawn with other low-maintenance chafer-resistant greenery, such as kinnikinnick, salal, creeping thyme, ornamental grasses, Dutch white clover, a vegetable garden or perennials.

For stubborn lawn lovers, keep your turf healthy with proper care practices.

Top dress the lawn with compost and beetle-resistant blends, and lime the lawn in the fall and spring. Bare areas can be covered with netting or chicken wire to prevent further damage.

n City of Richmond Environmental Coordinator Taryn Hesketh enjoys a break on the terraced greenspace at city hall. The ‘grass’ behind her is actually a ‘Fleur de Lawn’ mix. Photo by Paula Carlson

Also, reduce exterior lighting, as chafer beetles mate in the light.

One of the most effective ways to battle beetles is with nematodes (Heterohabditis bacteriophora) – microscopic worms that travel through the soil and destroy the chafer grubs from the inside out.

(Insecticides are prohibited in Richmond).

The key to having success with nematodes however, is timing – they need to be added mid- to late July – and lots of water.

“Now is the perfect time to use nematodes,” said Hesketh, adding the City of Richmond has eased watering restrictions for beetle battlers.

However, a Water Use Exemption Permit is required.

In order for nematodes to survive and do their work, the application area must be well-watered two hours prior to application to eliminate dry soil in the root zone.

Nematodes should be added according to package directions, preferably in the evening or on a cloudy day. The lawn must be watered again for two hours after application and then irrigated twice per week for three weeks.

To be eligible for a watering exemption, homeowners must provide proof of purchase of nematodes (showing their own receipt or an invoice from a company performing the work). A permit card must be displayed at the location and the homeowner must allow city officials to

Permits are available at Richmond City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Road, Monday to Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. They’re free for metered residents; $35 for non-metered residents.

Richmond is currently under Stage 1 water restrictions, meaning evennumbered addresses can sprinkle lawns Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays between 4 and 9 a.m., and odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns Tuesday, Thursday and Sundays between 4 and 9 a.m.

All exemption permits will be cancelled if Stage 4 water restrictions are declared, when all lawn sprinkling would be prohibited.

kea Canada will be opening a new customer distribution centre in Richmond that will support 100 new jobs, with hiring set to begin this fall.

The 340,000-sq.-ft. centre will be located at 7031 York Rd. and is expected to open next spring.

“As Ikea continues to grow, we recognize the importance of making the shopping experience more convenient and enjoyable for Canadians,” said Ikea Canada President Marsha Smith in a news release.

“Building a stronger distribution network is one of the many ways we are ensuring we meet our customers’ expectations in western Canada.”

With an aim of shortening delivery times for customers, the distribution centre will process items from Ikea’s B.C. and Alberta stores.

And that footprint is about to grow as well, as Ikea recently announced it will double the number of stores it has in Canada over the next 10 years.

The Swedish retailer, which

has been in Canada for 40 years, currently operates 12-fullsized retail locations across the country, including one in Richmond. It plans to have 24 stores up and running by 2025.

Ikea has 343 stores in more than 28 countries around the world. The new customer distribution centre in Richmond will be the company’s third Canadian distribution centre.

Employment at the centre will be available in a variety of sectors, including logistics, human resources, safety and security, and operations. Job opportunities will be posted at www.IKEA.ca – Paula Carlson

Economy the least of our worries in wake of a quake Dear Editor, I’m writing in response to the Delta council report regarding safety of the Fraser River crossing.

The report specifically states its “purpose” as “the serious safety concerns associated with any potential delay in replacing the George Massey Tunnel with a bridge.”

There is a premise here that needs to be clarified: The tunnel needs to be “replaced by a bridge for safety reasons.”

There is no doubt the Fraser crossing needs to be improved in order to be effective for all traffic and transit needs. However, the safety record of the tunnel speaks for itself. If “the potential for a catastrophic failure of the tunnel is real,” why are the Dutch with a similar and older tunnel not concerned with its safety?

The second part of the premise is the replacement of the tunnel with a bridge. The road system as it exists will fail before the tunnel will. In the event of a serious earthquake, it will make no difference if a bridge is safer than a tunnel. The bridge, should it survive, will not serve any purpose. If Richmond has the catastrophic results that are predicted with an earthquake of this magnitude, the crossing will be inaccessible and irrelevant.

The “background” of this report is what has been in question all along. The “public engagement” process has been little more than a one-way stream of information. This is made abundantly clear by the fact that Delta Mayor Lois Jackson is the only Metro Vancouver mayor in support of this project.

The report states that the tunnel replacement “be viewed from a regional and provincial perspective.” The proposed bridge does nothing regionally or provincially; it is just a means to cross the Fraser River. It will only exacerbate regional traffic difficulties.

Delta’s CAO states that Highway 99 is “an important emergency response route.” This is true. What he hasn’t said is that the construction of this bridge will seriously affect this corridor for a period of three to five years.

The fact is that in a seismic event as major as this report discusses, the real issue of the crossings will be how to evacuate and support the affected areas and people, not the economy of Delta or Surrey.

Do our leaders know what they’re doing?

Dear Editor, History shows that Richmond City Council is not a credible voice on transportation infrastructure.

In 2004, a number of city councillors vehemently opposed elevated tracks for the Canada Line. They wanted an at-grade line running down No. 3 Road instead. This design would have worsened traffic on No. 3 Road and all of its connectors, as well as drastically increased the chance of accidents.

This is the same design that Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner is inexplicably spending billions on.

TransLink, thankfully, said no to this comically stupid idea. In the face looming deadlines and the possibility of the Canada Line not being built at

all in Richmond, the city relented. The line was built. But city council had one more trick up its sleeves: To appease Richmond council, the stretch between Brighouse and Lansdowne was single-tracked. This design flaw will eventually make it impossible to increase service and has already made it impossible to extend the line anywhere past Brighouse.

So tell me, what does Brodie and council know about infrastructure?

What do they know about moving people around?

And why am I still stuck in this damn traffic jam?

ith the transition of a new government now underway in Victoria, it is important to keep a focus on the most significant traffic bottleneck in our province — the George Massey Tunnel corridor. On a daily basis, 80,000 vehicles use this roadway, with data indicating that approximately 60 per cent of these drivers are commuting to and from Richmond. We estimate that at least 20 per cent of our local workforce commutes on this route.

During the recent election campaign, Premier John Horgan indicated that he would defer his position on this matter to the regional Mayors’ Council.

Where this leaves the replacement project is unclear.

The Richmond Chamber of Commerce has been in support of the project since public consultation began, and we would like to reiterate our continued support for the proposed bridge to replace the nearly 60-yearold, seismically suspect, George Massey Tunnel. Like the need to replace the Pattullo Bridge for major safety concerns, the same rings true for the George Massey Tunnel. Twinning is not a viable option and construction of a new bridge is needed without delay.

The George Massey corridor is a critical link on Highway 99, which connects our region to the U.S. highway system, the B.C. Ferries terminal in Tsawwassen, the Deltaport container terminal, and Canada’s secondlargest airport. All of these are key parts of Canada’s Pacific Gateway, which is of national economic significance. YVR

alone currently supports over 23,000 employees, with approximately 75 per cent of these individuals commuting to and from Richmond daily.

Another key consideration is the Ironwood region. Hundreds of businesses are there and they all rely on the efficient movement of people and goods. Unfortunately, many are suffering financial and human resource losses as a result of traffic congestion and it is a sad reality that some businesses may consider relocation if immediate actions are not taken.

Curtailing the trucking of goods through the George Massey Tunnel during peak times is not viable and will severely impact the local economy and imperil jobs.

The path forward is to work collaboratively with the new provincial government and regional mayors to address this

issue in an urgent manner. The solution must not simply meet the needs of today, but those of future generations. Our region is expecting another one million residents in the next 20 years alone. One must consider the demands on our infrastructure in 2100 and beyond, when this bridge would still be in service.

While we have different views on the proposed bridge, we do agree with Mayor Malcolm Brodie’s recent assertion that there is an urgent need to address the issue of traffic congestion around the Massey Tunnel. The time to move forward is now.

We hope the B.C. government will consult the businesses community before deciding on the future of this project.

LETTERSto the Editor

n Richmond needs to once and for all address the issue of the lack of English language on signs, a pair of letter writers argue. Photo submitted

Seven years, no progress on signs Dear Editor, The new sign bylaw regulations came into effect July 11. But once again, they deliberately fall short of the objective of including mandatory English on business signage. All new businesses will only be encouraged to put 50 per cent of their advertisement in English.

The signage issue, according to our research, started back in 1996 and continues to be a complex discussion today. The Richmond Archives had newspaper clippings dating back to 2004 with Mayor Malcolm Brodie saying a bylaw would be silly. He has recently been in metro newspapers, again saying he did not support a bylaw.

Why has Brodie been so determined to say no to a bylaw that promotes community cohesion?

In March 2013, we submitted a petition with 1,000 signatures requesting either of Canada’s official languages be included on signs publicly displayed following the format of the Aberdeen Centre. Our request was dismissed.

In 2015, the city announced that council had made a decision to address sign clutter, but with no language provision.

In many areas, the language issue has grown, spreading to bus shelters, malls, doorto-door advertisements, magazines, vans, TransLink buses... It took two years for city staff to come back to council with a revised sign bylaw. Numerous public consultations at South Arm Community Centre and the UBC Boathouse produced opinions that were lost in translation.

The city is responsible for business signs only and that is where the stories misled the public. There are advertisements everywhere throughout Richmond that had no English on them. City staff found only 12 signs that lacked English, but 600 did not even have a permit.

Previously, movable development signs on building sites were unregulated. These were the most contentious because they operate like a secret society. No interested passerby had a clue what they may be advertising.

The signage debate started for us in 2011

when a non-English sign went up on Lindsay Road in the McKay school area.

The city is now going to measure signs on residential fencing and commercial businesses to make sure everyone complies with the new sign bylaw. While originally they suggested employing a bylaw officer to “police” the language was unaffordable, they will now employ one to measure the signs.

The new clutter bylaw only applies to new businesses, but how will the officer distinguish the old from the new?

The concerns of the city is “complaint driven,” so it is necessary for the public to report rule breakers.

What is really necessary is to address the language. In December 2015, The Richmond News published a story, “Health in Richmond is compromised by lack of connectivity.” Human rights lawyer Sandra Carter advised the city that a bylaw could be challenged in court as it may contravene the Canadian Charter, in particular the freedom of expression — requesting one of the official languages on signage, along with a “mother tongue” may deny the “mother tongue” user their freedom of expression, according to the Charter. The only issue challenged in Canadian courts has been between French and English – never has a “mother tongue” been involved. There are hundreds of “mother tongues” in Richmond. Why is one given preference?

If there was evidence that denying a Canadian the right to participate in everyday life in his/her hometown is to their detriment due to exclusion; that there is social disharmony; and if there are safety issues; then there is a possibility that a language policy may be investigated. The city could go to the provincial government and ask for a language policy.

This might be helpful for the current dispute in the strata townhouse issue at Wellington Court.

For seven years we have been working on this project. Our desire is to see harmony built on understanding – communication is the key that opens the world.

Club reviews books Autumn a return to traditional storytelling T he Summer Reading Club is in full swing at all four Richmond Public Library branches.

It’s free to join and is open to kids of all ages. More than 2,900 youth have signed up, but it’s not too late to join – registration is still open.

Kids receive a special reading record to keep track of their reading. Participants also receive a White Spot Pirate Pak coupon, weekly stickers, a chance to win book prizes and a medal for completing the club.

For more information, visit the library’s website at YourLibrary.ca, or call 604-231-6412.

As part of Summer Reading Club each year, the library encourages children to let it know what they think of the books they are reading by writing reviews, and each week several reviews are chosen to be published in The Richmond News. Here are this week’s reviews:

Sunset Shimmer’s Time to Shine

By Perdita Finn Reviewed by: Romina, age 8

A nice girl named Sunset Shimmer is happily trying to study the magic of friendship. She also has a magical booklet so she can write to her friend, Twilight Sparkle.

I like this book because it includes magic, friendship and teamwork. Also because it teaches you a lesson. The lesson was: don’t be selfish.

I give this book five stars. n Romina.

Tonight on the Titanic

By Mary Pope Osborne Reviewed by: Milanda, age 9

The Titanic was scraping against an iceberg. Then the Titanic started to sink. More than 1,500 people died and 705 people escaped in lifeboats. The Titanic completely sunk around 2:20 a.m.

I like this book because it talks about a very sad Titanic disaster. It is pretty strange because most people believed it was unsinkable. But when it hit an iceberg it started to sink. What I couldn’t believe is the Titanic took two hours to sink. Dr. Robert once discovered the undersea wreck of the Titanic.

I give this book five stars.

’ve already mentioned in this review column before that Ali Smith is my favourite author, so it was with great joy that I noticed two books written by her were released earlier this year: the new novel Autumn and the story collection Public Library and other stories.

Smith’s Autumn is a return to more mtraditional storytelling when compared to her last few novels. It’s the story of a woman named Elisabeth eth and her lifelong friendship with a much older neighbour.

This is the first in a four-part series, each seasonally themed and tied into UK social issues.

The novel is set immediately fol-lowing Brexit and the volatility of the political climate.

In her early 30s, Elisabeth is trying to navigate a world that doesn’t really make sense to herr anymore as she copes with the serious illness of her geriatric best friend and the nation’s political unrest.

Elisabeth, with no father and an oftenabsent mother, bonds with Daniel as he teaches her about art and storytelling. They play games that are meant to alter how

the young girl perceives the world and she never forgets his lessons.

Her mother, originally portrayed as a ridiculous figure, becomes increasingly sympathetic as her own story twist becomes apparent.

Smith’s novels aren’t easy reading. The story isn’t linear; there are lots of historical meanderings, and Smith’s wordplay can go on for pages at a time. It’s worth the extra effort, though. Autumn is funny, beautifully written, politically poignant and finally, h hopeful. At the end, I felt as though the main message was one of kindness and l love, a rarity these days as w scroll through an increaswe in ingly damaging news cycle.

P Public Library is a celebration of libraries, of literacy, of wor words. Smith’s collection is a rem reminder of why libraries are impo important and worth fighting for, and h her writing is full of whimsy.

Both Autumn and Public Librari are available at various Libraries branche branches.

Rachel Rosenberg is originally from Montreal. Her favourite novels include Ali Smith’s Hotel World and David Sedaris’s Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim. She is a library technician at RPL’s Ironwood branch.

“It’s not a conversation people want to have,” says Nicole Renwick, Executive Director of the Memorial Society, “but pre-planning can help families avoid a lot of pressure and decision making at an emotional time.”

Started in 1956 by a group of people in a church hall, the Memorial Society of B.C. now has in excess of 242,000 members around the province, making it the largest memorial society in North America.

“Because we have so many members,” Nicole explains, “I am able to negotiate lower costs with funeral service providers for our members. We only work with established funeral homes with a good reputation. Currently, we work with almost 30 funeral homes around B.C.” The Memorial Society is a nonprofit organization registered under the Societies Act of B.C. and is the only member-based, volunteer-driven memorial society in B.C. “Everybody should be a member of the Society,” Nicole says. “Everybody alive will pass away at some point and for a $40 one-time membership fee, we can take the burden off your loved ones by referring them to a designated funeral

et ready to rock and talk this Labour Day weekend in Richmond.

The city’s annual World Festival is hosting Canadian indie band Tokyo Police Club and Korean rapper Verbal Jint at this year’s expanded event at Minoru Park.

The free celebration of music,

food and culture will feature more than 75 performances on nine stages. There will also be more than 50 food trucks on site as part of the FEASTival of Flavour; a Global Village with interactive cultural activities; the Bamboo Theatre and Digital Carnival; Kids World fun zone; an Artisan Marketplace; and Imagination World at the Richmond Library.

There’s so much to see and do, the festival has been extended to run over two days: Friday, Sept. 1 and Saturday, Sept. 2.

“In just two years, the Richmond World Festival has become a can’t-miss date on the sum-

mer calendar,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the many sounds, tastes and colours of our diverse community and nation.”

Headliner Tokyo Police Club has won both critical and popular acclaim across the country and internationally. The Toronto band released Melon Collie and the Infinite Radness EP in 2016 with songs Not My Girl and My House shooting up the Canadian alternative rock charts.

The foursome began as a group of teenage friends. A decade later, lead singer/bass player Dave Monks, drummer Greg Aslop, key-

boardist/guitarist Graham Wright and guitarist Josh Hook are still going strong.

Tokyo Police Club performs on the YVR Mosaic Man Stage on Saturday. Canadian electro-pop innovators Dragonette will also play the main stage on the same day.

South Korean hip-hop artist Verbal Jint will kick off the festival on Friday. The rapper is known for his innovative Korean hip hop rhyme work, achieving the grammatical accuracy needed to arrange Korean lyrics successfully into rhymes.

Jint was the first performer to create actual rhyme schemes in

IV therapy targets treatment Intravenous drips used by naturopaths contain vitamins, minerals and nutraceuticals

Y

ou’ve seen them used in countless TV medical dramas. And you may have even been on the receiving end of one in hospital.

They are IVs (intravenous), or drips.

Now, treatment using them is becoming more mainstream and therapeutic. And longtime, local naturopathic physician Dr. Raj Jheeta is offering his patients the bene^ts of the procedure through his practice, Richmond Naturopathic Family Clinic.

He’s been offering it for the past 15 years or so, but the treatment is just now starting to become a popular trend as more people discover its potential bene^ts.

“The IV therapy that is becoming increasingly popular now is for naturopaths to use speci^c nutrients that target speci^c types of ailments,” said Jheeta, who is board-certi^ed to conduct IV therapy. “It’s essentially vitamins, minerals and nutraceuticals. So, there’s no pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals or toxic agents in the formulas.

“It’s just that we n Dr. Raj Jheeta has are using therapeutic 29 years of experilevels of vitamins, ence as a naturominerals, amino acids, pathic physician. nutraceuticals and focusing them on targeted health concerns.”

One of the areas the IVs treat include age management to reduce the impact of the environment and the aging process.

“People use it to esthetically look and feel better,” Jheeta said, adding one of the compo-

nents in the IV is glutathione, an antioxidant, which is added to a base of nutrients and minerals.

Other IVs focus on boosting the immune system.

“It can, perhaps, be a ‘]u buster’ which would focus on doses of vitamin C, B complex, zinc and selenium – nutrients that improve the immune function and help ^ght off and even prevent infections, whether they are viral of bacterial,” Jheeta said.

Then there are IVs designed more as a revitalization tool.

Then there’s IVs that can help with seasonal allergies, something to note as allergy season approaches.

“A lot of people suffer from allergies to dust, grass, pollen, dogs and cats,” Jheeta said, “so, there’s an IV drip where we use magnesium, vitamin C, B5, B6, which are essential nutrients that help control allergies. And that would be used for those patients who want to avoid drugs, such as antihistamines and decongestants.”

Sufferers of migraine headaches can also potentially get some relief with the IV treatment.

“The speci^c formula we use is an alternate to pain medication,” Jheeta said.

Then there’s other IVs containing amino acids that can relieve anxiety.

“There’s ones we use for insomnia, too,” Jheeta said.

But what are the overall bene^ts of using an IV instead of traditional methods of consuming vitamins or administering medications?

“The main factor is the nutrients are delivered directly in to the bloodstream,” Jheeta said. “So, the effectiveness is better. Plus, dosages, particularly vitamin C, can be tolerated better. With vitamin C, if you were to take it orally, after a certain dosage some people can get an upset stomach, irritation, loose stool or diarrhea.

“But if we introduce signi^cant amounts of vitamin C in a therapeutic dose via a drip, there is no upset. And you retain a lot of those nutrients and greatly bene^t from the rehydration. It’s a good delivery method.”

And for those who have a needle phobia, Jheeta said staff at his clinic are trained to make the IV process as comfortable as possible.

“We have topical anesthetics for the needle injection site that we let sit for 10 to 15 minutes, so there’s no discomfort at all,” he said. “But the IV needles are so small that the situation for those patients is usually psychological rather than physical. And we can coach people through that.”

But before anyone seeks an IV therapy session, they should do their homework and assess the level of competency the person administering the IV has.

“You have to make sure they are quali^ed, trained and have the equipment at their disposal to intervene if there is a problem, such as an allergic reaction,” Jheeta said, adding he’s heard of some therapeutic IV services making hotel room calls in places such as Las Vegas. “I’m not a big fan of those. IV therapy is powerful and works. So, people want access to them. But you need to be sure the process is safe.”

At Richmond Naturopathic Family Clinic, all patients undergo a full health check and assessment for possible drug con]icts prior to receiving IV therapy. Dr. Jheeta is a member of the British Columbia Naturopathic Association and is board certi^ed and licenced by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. Cost of the treatments range from $85 to $150 per session. Those with extended health bene^ts can claim a portion of the cost if the procedure is done for therapeutic reasons, Jheeta said.

Gardening “Flowers are wilting My enthusiasm, too Only weeds survive.”

– Gaia Garden

S

hake off your summer laziness and get back into your garden. There are chores to do to keep your plants looking good to enjoy a longer display of blooms.

Regularly dead-head spent blooms, keep plants wellwatered, use grey water where possible, and weed, weed, weed. Weeds love the sunshine and can steal nutrients from your plants.

The month of July is a great time to plant fall-flowering bulbs, such as Autumn crocuses, Colchicum, Sternbergia, Amaryllis and Nerine.

Cutting back plants in hanging or potted containers, followed by feeding, can encourage new growth and help revive tired displays. Visit your favourite nurseries and pick up some new plants to add life to your hot and tired pots.

Cut back delphiniums and geraniums after the first flush of flowers to encourage a second flowering period. Feed after cutting back.

Deadhead flower borders regularly to prolong flowering. Disbud and deadhead dahlias if growing for large blooms. Leave roses that produce attractive rose hips.

Divide clumps of bearded iris.

In-fill patches of carpet-like growing plants such as campanula medium and Canterbury bells that have

some central areas dying off, with compost to encourage re-growth.

Make sure you have plenty of stakes on hand. This is the time of year for tall perennials that will need some propping up. Lupins, delphiniums, crocosmia and gladioli need some help to stay tall and show off their majestic blooms.

Remember to keep feeding your containerized plants and keep them watered during the dry spells. Lateflowering perennials such as echinacea and helenium will benefit from quick-acting feed before they bloom.

Choose organic fertilizers as much as possible.

As our hot, summer days continue, make sure to add organic mulch to your gardens beds – at least two to three inches. If you do not have compost, pick up organic mulch from your favourite nursery. Mulching helps with keeping weeds down and is an excellent way to retain moisture during the dry periods.

And finally, before you pull out your lawn chairs, check for any pests or diseases in your garden beds.

Watch out for aphids on stems and leaves of young shoots and on your roses. Giving them a shot of soapy water or just removing them by hand will deal with these little bugs.

In dry weather, powdery mildew can play havoc with plants such as clematis, roses and Lonicera. Be careful to keep water off the leaves of these plants.

Now you can grab a few seed catalogues, some great gardening books, find a shady spot in your lush garden and dream.

T

hey did what was expected of them and exited the “group of death” in the Men’s Open division, on route to the finals, to set the stage for an incredible Nations Cup finals rematch against the formidable foe who beat them in overtime last year.

But it was not to be, once again, for Team India, as it fell short on Sunday to powerhouse Team Italy for a second straight year — this time in regulation, by a score of 1-0.

“Coming into this tournament there was a lot of anticipation and hype” to see this rematch, said Nations Cup President Jeff Wilson.

But the Italians did what they usually do — play sound and smart soccer. They also took advantage of an

early red card by the Indians, which handicapped the runner-up for all but 10 minutes of the game.

“There was an end-of-half push from India. They were fairly aggressive coming down the stretch but couldn’t find a way to score,” said Wilson.

Despite the loss, the tournament’s men’s MVP went to Cheta Jhooty.

“He’s played for years. He’s a guy late in his career and it’s been nice to see him put in his time and finish with the MVP,” said Wilson.

India did make waves in senior divisions, winning the Men’s Over 30 and Men’s Over 38 divisions.

“There are some great soccer programs in the Lower Mainland that the Indian community puts together.

They take it very seriously,” said Wilson, explaining India’s endearing pedigree at the annual tournament.

This year, Wilson said he was

particularly struck by all of the teams competing in the Men’s Over 30 division.

“The level and pace and skill is very high,” said Wilson.

Meanwhile, the Women’s division continued to impress and Wilson noted that year over year the competition between teams increases.

“Ireland and Canada have been the strongholds. There’s a little more parity but obviously Ireland showed its strength again by winning,” noted Wilson.

Caitlyn Davie took home the MVP honours for the women.

Wilson said the weather held up for the entire weekend, adding to the lively atmosphere.

“This year was great and so it created a little better atmosphere with the beer garden and folks camping out on the sidelines,” said Wilson.

Furthermore, he also noted how the tournament atmosphere is seeping into its satellite locations at Manoah Steves elementary and Minoru Park.

“I was struck by its almost own individual atmosphere there (Steves) and the amount of people there for the long haul.” n The final scores for the 2017 Nations Cup. Source: TheNationsCup.com

A

n impressive title win by Toko in the women’s division and a first championship for University of B.C. in the men’s division capped off a successful 32nd installment of the Dolphin Park Classic 4-on-4 street basketball tournament last weekend at South Arm Park.

Tournament co-founder and organizer Bruce Watson said a “nice mix and stew of teams” made for highly competitive b-ball.

On the men’s side, the UBC team won its first title in 14 tries at the tournament.

The team was bolstered by Grant Shephard, hot off a historic U19 basketball world championship for Team Canada earlier this month. Still, it was Taylor Browne who took home MVP honours.

“It was hard to pick an MVP from that team, they were so deep,” said Watson.

UBC beat perennial contenders AthElite

by a score of 57-51 on the South Arm hardcourt.

Watson noted the finals consisted of the second and third seeds from each men’s pool, meaning there was a lot of parity in the tournament.

“What that indicates is how deep the tourney was. XFalcons are a fabulous team, and went undefeated in round robin play; and they looked like they would win, but UBC beat them in the semis,” said Watson.

Meanwhile, the women also “beat themselves up in the round robin.”

But Toko beat University of the Fraser Valley handily as Harleen Sidhu took home MVP honours for Toko.

Sidhu also upstaged her AthElite boss Aman Heran in the three-point contest to become the first women in Classic history to win the special, fan-favourite contest.

“She’s an amazing shooter. Everyone loved it,” said Watson.

Emerson Murray won the dunk contest.

“He excited the crowd, thrilled the crowd. He’s a leaper,” said Watson.

He was a family man, deeply respected by his surviving children Judy, Kenny, John and Helen, 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
