Tunnel twinning tabled

New provincial government means new possibility of an underground option Graeme Wood

Residents angered over use of herbicide Application halted as city investigates Daisy Xiong

he city has stopped applying herbicides along Airport Road after residents complained that the toxic chemicals could contaminate their gardens. Lisa Smedman, a resident in Lancaster Crescent, told Richmond News that workers from a contractor of the City showed up Monday morning in the neighbourhood and started applying herbicide to the ditches about 100 feet away from her front garden. “I received a phone call from my neighbour in a panic to say the wind was blowing the herbicide right into our front yards, which are filled with vegetables,” said Smedman. “We want to ask the city why they applied herbicide in our neighbourhood, especially on a windy day.” Smedman said she was concerned that her organic lettuce and other vegetables have been contaminated by the herbicide (glyphosate dimethylamine), which contains toxic chemicals. “I have put a great deal of time and energy into creating this organic garden and was looking forward to harvesting the lettuce. Now I have to throw all the lettuce away n Notice informs residents when herbiand don’t know cides will be used. Photo submitted what to do with my garden yet since the chemicals may stay. “This is very frustrating.” The residents are also upset with the insufficient notifications given by the City before the herbicide was applied. “There is only one small sign along a stretch of Airport Road where nobody walks. Had the notification been given to me, for example via a letter, I would have called the city and demanded they cancel,” said Smedman. See City page 5

City targets invasive knotweed From page 3 The city responded to the residents Tuesday morning and said their concerns were understandable. “We have stopped the application and are currently investigating this issue to see if proper procedures were followed,” said John Irving, Director of Engineering of the City of Richmond. He explained that the herbicide was used to eliminate infections of the harmful Japanese Knotweed in the neighbourhood and

was applied through dripping, not by spraying, as many residents thought. According to Irving, the contractor is required to measure wind speed before applying herbicide. If the wind is stronger than eight km/hr they should stop the application. Smedman said she is also concerned about the wildlife that lives in the ditches as well as for the safety of pets, and the children who play in the area. The city will respond to the residents after more information is gathered.

wantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is offering a new program at its Richmond campus to teach the science behind beer. Students will learn about the basic chemistry of brewing and get hands-on experience in the lab. DeAnn Bremner, communications coordinator for the Faculty of Science and Horticulture, said it will be the first time a beer-related class has been taught on KPU’s Richmond campus. The program is open to new students enrolled in KPU’s two-year beer brewing diploma program, as well as home brewers who are interested in learning more about brewing chemistry. “Many students from the beer brewing program told us it’s very challenging to follow the course when they don’t have a solid science background,” said Bremner, “so we started this prep class to teach the basic principles and science behind beer brewing and help students prepare for further studies.” Students will learn about acids and bases, pH scale, buffer solution, acid-base reactions and organic chemistry in the new course, and conduct experiments in the lab to gain a greater understanding of acid-based reactions. KPU is one of three institutions in Canada that offers a diploma in beer brewing. Last May, two students from the program won gold in the 2017 U.S. Open College Beer Championship and two others brought home silver. “The program has been popular as the brewing industry is growing. We may open more beer-related classes in the Richmond campus in the future,” said Bremner. The prep program will run Wednesday nights from Aug. 2-23 for a cost of $225. Online lectures are available for students who are not available to attend classes in person.

Stroll the streets of Steveston Dear Editor, Re: Pedestrian mall for Steveston. I would like to thank Terry Crowe and his colleagues of the City of Richmond Policy and Planning Division for their thoughtful and informative presentations at the recent public open house held at Steveston Community Centre on Saturday, July 22 concerning the Steveston Village Area Plan Upgrade. With regard to streetscape concepts for Bayview, Moncton and Chatham Streets, I particularly support the emphasis on wider pedestrian walking areas and dedicated cycling lanes, though I wonder about their effect on increased vehicle congestion. Because parking is such a challenge in Steveston, particularly during business hours, my wife and I prefer to get there by foot or bike; if it is necessary to take our car, we usually park outside the village centre. Perhaps the time has come to restrict, or even eliminate, vehicular traffic in the downtown core of Steveston and consider an open-air pedestrian mall. A portion of Moncton Street could be dedicated to such a mall, possibly extending north on First Avenue and south on Second Avenue (leading toward Fisherman’s Wharf). Emergency vehicles would, of course, have access at all times, but delivery vehicles could be restricted to rear entrances of businesses. Jurisdictions that have implemented pedestrian malls identify numerous benefits, among them: • Merchants report increased visitors and sales. • Shoppers enjoy easier and safer access

Look back for a way forward in village

to stores, unimpeded by car traffic. • Traffic flows actually improve and, as counter-intuitive as it may seem, have reduced in many instances. • Noise and air pollution are reduced, resulting in a cleaner, quieter, greener environment. • A larger walking area provides more opportunities for cultural events and artistic displays. • The overall appearance of the street is improved and image enhanced.

Dear Editor, Re: “Merchants want full boardwalk details,” Richmond News, Letters, July 21. Here we go again on the merry-goround. In my opinion, there is unfinished business that will solve the whole thing once and for all. And that is to turn the empty retail spaces on the Onni development into a BC Packers legacy centre. BC Packers wanted to see a legacy to their company somewhere on their portion of the waterfront, and if I remember

Urgent need for bridge Dear Editor, Re: “Proper planning, not propaganda, is needed,” Richmond News, Letters, July 21. It is interesting how two people can read the same document and come away with completely different understanding. Mr. Andersen’s letter complains about the details of the full -page advertisement regarding the www. weneedabridge.ca campaign to continue the current bridge construction. He complains that there are no facts, yet I see only facts in the fullpage ad. And if he reads the details of the bridge campaign on the Delta website, we will see many more facts.

His letter attempts to dismiss facts yet he provides no evidence or research to support his viewpoint. His letter provides more misinformation. My reading of the full-page ad and the details in the websites leads me to believe there is an urgent need to replace the aging tunnel with a new bridge. It seems the safety of Richmond and Delta commuters, and others, is at risk daily. My conclusion is that the best solution is to continue with the bridge construction for the safety of all. Keith Munro Richmond

The implementation of an open-air mall for Steveston Village could be a gradual process, for example, piloting a one-block mall, testing its impact, and determining whether expansion is feasible. I encourage the city’s planning committee to seriously explore this additional streetscape option. I believe it would both honour and preserve the historical legacy that is our Steveston. Mark Nielsen Richmond

correctly, they even gave the city a sum of money to put it together. Whether you like what BC Packers did to the waterfront or not (I did not), the company deserves to have its history remembered on the waterfront. And the two display boards and a metal framework representing the Imperial Cannery’s post don’t do a proper job. We don’t need more t-shirt shops, sushi eateries or other forms of cuisine and kitsch, for we have enough of that now. Gordon Kibble Richmond

Correction

Re: “Backyards take backseat to builders at hearing,” Richmond News, July 21. Incorrect information about setbacks appeared in this story. Here is the correct information: The minimum rear yard setback shall be the greater of six metres or 20 per cent of lot depth for a maximum width of 60 per cent of the rear wall of the first storey and 25 per cent of the lot depth for the remaining 40 per cent of the rear wall of the first storey and any second storey or half storey above, up to a maximum required setback of 10.7 metres. A minimum six-metre rear yard setback is maintained on small lots, lots containing a single-storey home and lots on arterial roads where a larger nine-metre front yard setback is required. Maximum building height is nine metres. In Area A, as defined in the zoning bylaw, the maximum building height will be measured from 0.3 metres above the crown of the fronting road.

can assure the safety of people. We believe we are able to build this tool to improve the situation.” Vala explained that the project is still in the design phase and more work and research needs to be done. A prototype is slated to come out early next year. “As youth, we don’t have a lot of

experience with these technologies, but we will learn, research the technologies and seek guidance from experts. Eventually we will turn the idea into reality,” she said. The team is competing against more than 80 other teams drawn from professional app developers, technology researchers and top-tier

academic institutions for a $1-million grant award. But Vala said that whether they are selected or not, they will continue developing the device and hopefully bring it to the market in the future. “We can’t wait to share our product with the community and empower safety for all.”

hree youths from Richmond and Vancouver are creating something they believe the world needs — an alarm device that connects women to their family or friends in emergency situations. Team HP-TIE (Harvesting the Power of Technology through Innovation and Engineering), by McRoberts secondary students Vedanshi Vala and Faazi Waliji, and Vancouver’s Sophia Bucior, are competing in the Anu & Naveen Jain Women’s Safety XPRIZE, a global competition encouraging technologies that help ensure women’s safety. “We want to provide a reliable, effective and affordable device available to everyone in the world,” said team leader Vala. The team is working on a wearable device with a panic button that can connect the user’s phone to their family or friends’ “When you press the panic button on the device, it will send the distress signal and your location to them,” said Vala. “In this way,

women can build up their own personal safety system.” The device can save women’s lives in emergencies where dialing 911 is not possible. “Let’s say you have a smartphone, but it’s usually in the purse. When you walk on the street and something bad happened, you can’t really pull it out and trigger the alert to 911. “Not to mention that in some countries, the police are less efficient and don’t tend to respond to emergency calls quickly enough,” Vala added. The team got together after hearing about violence against women across the world. The three tech-savvy students felt technology was something that could make a difference. “One in three women in the world have faced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, and almost four billion people across the world don’t have access to centralized emergency response systems. This is very shocking,” said Vala. “In an age where technology development is everywhere, we still don’t have a concrete solution that

BC Chamber network welcomes new government

he BC Chamber of Commerce has released its 20172018 Policy & Positions Manual outlining its business advocacy priorities for the upcoming year, as defned by its province-wide network. “The BC Chamber is releasing its 2017-2018 Policy & Positions Manual on the coattails of a new government,” said Val Litwin, President & CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. “We will be sending copies of the manual to each MLA taking offce so they may familiarize themselves

with the issues impacting businesses across BC.” The year 2017 marked a banner year for the BC Chamber, with 64 policies submitted and supported by 47 individual chambers. This is an increase of 31 per cent in chamber participation and an increase of over 12 per cent in overall policy resolutions submitted, which exemplifes the growth of engagement in BC’s largest business network. This year the BC Chamber championed a policy in partnership with the Richmond-based

Young Entrepreneur Leadership Launchpad on “Protecting and Enabling Youth Entrepreneurship and Incorporation Under the Age of Majority.” “Taking their cue from the Mark Zuckerbergs of their generation, more and more entrepreneurialminded youth are taking risks to start their own companies,” said Litwin. “This policy offers a viable solution that allows business owners under the age of majority to participate meaningfully in their own company, while also ensuring that the proper protections are in

place for both youth and the general public.” Policies submitted to the eoor at the AGM are debated by Chamber members and must receive support from at least two-thirds of the membership to be voted into force. Another notable policy approved is the Port and Major Airport Share Capitalization (submitted by the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade with support of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce). View the 2017-2018 Policy & Positions Manual at bcchamber.org.

Each provincial MLA’s ofﬁce will be receiving a copy of the BC Chamber of Commerce’s Policy & Positions Manual. Image submitted

SPORTS ■ Capacity crowds generated an electric atmosphere at the Richmond Olympic Oval last weekend for the final stop of the 2017 FIVB World Grand Prix. The three-day event featured women’s national volleyball teams from Canada, Germany, Peru and the Czech Republic. The hosts finished with a 1-2 record that was highlighted by a win Saturday over Peru. The Richmond stop concluded the Grand Prix season. Canada finished with a 3-6 record in Group 2, its best performance in the program’s history. Earlier this year, the national team re-located its training centre at the Oval from Winnipeg.

Rogers wins gold at U20 Pan Ams in Peru

■ It was another national record breaking performance for Camryn Rogers at the U20 Pan Am Championships in Peru.

amryn Rogers has helped Canada to its best showing at the U20 Pan American Track and Field Championships in over 30 years. The 18-year-old Richmond throwing standout twice broke her own national hammer throw record en route to capturing gold on Sunday in Trujillo, Peru. Her winning toss was 63.42 metres, finishing ahead of Cuba’s Ayamey Medina Rosa (62.18) and Mariana Garcia of Chile (58.90). In total, Canada won 22 medals over the three-day competition, its best result since 1984. Canada finished second in the overall standings behind the United States.

It’s been a golden summer for Rogers who earlier this month also won the U20 hammer throw at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Ottawa. Her fifth and final attempt proved to be her best at 61.95 metres, finishing well ahead of Kaila Butler (58.72) and Kajaks teammate Chanell Botsis (57.21). Rogers was also named to the B.C. team slated to compete in Winnipeg at the Canada Summer Games but opted to pass on the invitation to prepare for her departure for University of California Berkeley for her freshman year. The 2017 McMath graduate earned a full-ride scholarship.
