NEWS: Cause of massive fire on Mitchell Island still unknown 3

Debate turns to compensation Onni’s land use proposal appears accepted, depending on contribution DAISYXIONG Staff Reporter

DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

heated discussion took place at a public hearing Monday regarding Onni Group’s proposal to rezone the Steveston boardwalk from maritime uses to commercial retail space.

“We all realize that a marina is not on the table now,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

“It’s not perfect, but we need to look at what’s on the table that can be done for the community,” he added.

City councillors voted to defer the proposal, particularly the amount Onni should pay toward community amenities, until the next public hearing on Nov. 20.

Onni’s representative, Chris Evans, origi-

nally proposed $2.375 million in exchange for the new zoning, which would increase the property’s value. He then offered an extra $1 million during his second presentation at the meeting, when asked by Brodie if the company was willing to pay more.

Coun. Alexa Loo said she is comfortable with the new number and would like to see the proposal move forward.

However, Coun. Harold Steves insisted that Onni’s community contribution needs to match the city’s assessment of economic gain for Onni, which is $5.5 million.

“From what I understand, Onni deducted the cost of converting the existing buildings to future commercial use from its proposed community contribution,” said Steves.

“But when they built it, they knew they were not going to use it for maritime use, why do they expect the city to pay for it now?”

Evans responded that “this is a very unique situation and that the company will work with city councillors to reach an agreement.”

Resident John Roston presented a detailed argument in which he referenced an Onni report from 2014 that lists lease rates it would charge if the site was rezoned.

Based on that, he claimed Onni will see an increase in value of almost $12 million once the land is rezoned.

“Onni will make a huge profit…If they won’t provide community benefits, at least give funding,” said Roston.

Brodie said the city needs more information before agreeing on a number.

“Onni was generous to increase the offer by $1 million tonight, but the question is whether that was an appropriate amount,” said Brodie.

Fire cause unknown WorkSafe report points to gasoline tote ALANCAMPBELL

Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

n investigation is underway to determine the cause of a massive fire on Mitchell Island.

The blaze at an auto wrecking yard last Thursday night rocked nearby homes with explosions and balls of fire widely reported by residents.

The fire broke out just before 8 p.m. with the majority of buildings within the yard at the AABC Recycling Group fully ablaze by the time firefighters arrived.

According to Richmond Fire-Rescue, firefighters had to deal with the possible collapse of a building, although there were no occupants inside.

This is the second time in 10 months that the auto yard has been the scene of a massive fire.

In January, large black plumes of smoke billowed from a pile of cars inside the property, along the 13000-block of Mitchell Road, east of the Knight Street Bridge.

Last week, local residents again flooded social media with pictures, videos and accounts of “tons of explosions” at the site of the fire.

There were 28 firefighters on the scene Thursday night, with many remaining at the site until Friday morning to make sure the flames didn’t start back

up.

Tim Wilkinson, deputy chief of operations with Richmond Fire-Rescue, told the Richmond News on Friday morning that, although the fire was extinguished, they were still dealing with “minor spot fires…beneath a collapsed portion of the building.”

Wilkinson said the investigation into the cause of the fire would begin on Friday “when the area is deemed to be safe for that process.

By Monday, he said Richmond Fire-Rescue was still “actively investigating all causation factors” and were yet to make a final determination on the cause.

However, after a separate investigation by WorkSafeBC, a preliminary report by a WorkSafe inspector said the blaze began when a worker was moving a 1,000-litre tote of gasoline with an overhead crane.

“The tote became snagged, was punctured, and gasoline was released, resulting in a fire,” said the report.

Wilkinson added that environmental staff from the Canadian Coast Guard, the provincial government and the City of Richmond were “coordinating on containing any runoff that may pollute” the Fraser River.

This isn’t the only time a fire has broken out on Mitchell Island recently.

In June, a blaze erupted at a mattress recycling depot, at the very same facility where another fire broke out two years prior.

wo Richmond firms are at the centre of an oyster recall, amid fears over a marine biotoxin, which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued the recall on Monday about oysters sold by Albion Farms and Fisheries Ltd., at 1900 No. 6 Rd., and Union Bay Seafood Ltd., at 2288 No. 5 Rd. The Albion Farms oysters were sold from Oct. 9 to Oct. 16, while the Union Bay oysters were sold from Oct. 10 to Oct. 16.

The CFIA says the products were sold in Alberta, B.C. and Quebec, but may have been distributed in other provinces and territories.

Paralytic shellfish toxins are a group of natural toxins that

BOOK

sometimes accumulate in shellfish. Symptoms includes tingling and numbness of the lips, tongue, hands and feet, and difficulty swallowing.

In severe situations, this can lead to difficulty walking, muscle paralysis, respiratory paralysis and death.

The CFIA said that, thus far, there have been no reported illnesses linked to eating the oysters in question.

According to the CFIA, the recalled products should be thrown out or returned to where they were purchased.

Residents tired of empty buildings From page 1

Paulik Park, Richmond

Here’s your opportunity to share your thoughts about the City of Richmond’s Urban Forest The public is invited to provide input into the Urban Forest Management Strategy that is currently being developed by the City of Richmond to guide how the City will continue to protect and manage trees on public land.

“We need to consider more financial factors, and by deferring it to November, we will have that information.”

About 100 people attended the hearing, which ran until 11 p.m., and more than 20 individuals expressed their opinion. Discussions were mostly based on the issue of land use — Onni proposed additional uses, including restaurants, retail, grocery stores and two hotels with 32 units in total.

Some residents expressed their concerns that the new commercial complex would damage the community atmosphere.

“It’s an area with many kids and seniors,” said a resident living on Bayview Street.

“The relentless rezoning plans are like nightmares for us who live here. It will bring noise, trash, and attract drinkers and drug dealers here, and we are the ones that will pay for this.”

Some residents also worry the new merchants will threaten currently established businesses, which are the “heart and soul of the community.”

However, the majority of the speakers supported the rezoning — some are tired of seeing the empty buildings, while others hope the new businesses and the hotels will give Steveston an economic boost.

“We are so, so very tired of seeing the

empty buildings. We need to move on and have it resolved sooner,” said resident Alan Robin.

“It’s a good opportunity to support tourism, bring more activities and commercial vibrancy to Steveston and to help local businesses continue to grow,” said another resident, Jay Nando.

General manager of the Steveston Dragon Boat Festival, Ann Phelps, said the proposed hotels will potentially host attendees for festivals and generate profit for the community.

Jim van der Tas, president of Steveston Merchants Association, suggested a “1/3, 1/3, 1/3” idea, meaning 1/3 retail, 1/3 office and 1/3 MMU, but the proposal was opposed by both city councillors and Onni.

“I understand that people are very upset to see buildings sitting there empty and it’s harming our community. But Onni needs to pay its fair share… (we should) leave it vacant until getting a decent contribution,”said Roston.

Brodie said he is satisfied with the proposed land use.

Coun. Derek Dang noted, “We didn’t do this because we want less for the community; we want more.” He added, “Even if everybody is not necessarily happy, we are heading in the right direction.”

Steves said he expectes a deal will be done on Nov. 20.

“Richmond council can be quite aggressive with mega mansions. It falls squarely in their jurisdiction,” added Weaver.

He said his five-acre rule is based on other provincial foreign ownership restrictions for farms. In order to have an effect on Richmond’s small parcels, “extensive legislative knowledge” is required.

“It’s a recognition that we couldn’t do everything in this bill,” which largely addresses large swaths of land in Northern B.C. presently being scooped up by foreign interests.

“We’d have to have something different in Metro (Vancouver) and the Peninsula (Greater Victoria) where you have smaller parcels,” said Weaver.

He also conceded he doesn’t have much

data to back up the bill he calls proactive.

“I’ve been pushing for government to collect more data,” said Weaver.

Last February, a Ministry of Finance spokesperson told the News, “Our data shows relatively few transactions involving foreign purchasers of agricultural property at this point.”

But Weaver said data tracking should also include closer examinations of corporations such as bare trusts and numbered companies. Such titles mask beneficial ownership and can be used to avoid property transfer taxes.

The News reached out on Tuesday to Richmond-Queensborough Liberal MLA Jas Johal for comment. He did not return inquiries by deadline.

Petitioner hopes for solution

Dear Editor, Re: “Hospital becomes passport mill,” Richmond News, Oct. 13.

When I first started with the foreign language signage issue it was an unaddressed topic for over 20 years, according to documented complaints at city hall.

The birth tourism issue has been no different as it too has gone on for years. The lack of action by government at all levels has manifested into many complex challenges.

Birth tourism is approved by the Government of Canada. It is different from an “accidental” birth in a foreign country by way of wrong calculation of dates or a medical emergency. It is extremely well planned and excludes regular, deserving immigrants who are without sufficient funds to essentially buy Canadian citizenship for their child. It promotes Canadian citizenship as a business transaction and an insurance policy for the future.

Citizenship is a moral and ethical commitment to Canada. It should not be granted to those deliberately circumventing civic responsibilities for personal self-enrichment in terms of free access to Canada’s social safety net.

Australia put an end to birth tourism in the 80s and Hong Kong ended it in 2012. Why can’t Canada put an end to an outdated policy that was created 70 years ago?

Kerry Starchuk Richmond

Close the loopholes Dear Editor, Re: “Hospital becomes passport mill,” Richmond News, Oct. 13.

Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido states that, “You have guys looking at loopholes, looking at our generosity and abusing it.”

Yes, that is it Mr. Peschisolido, you finally got it. This statement is true of our housing affordability crisis, our problems with casino money laundering, tax evasion, exploitation of farmland and now with passport mills.

You can draw a straight line through all of these problems that takes you right back to the inaction of our government, at all levels.

n Last year, 379 foreign nationals gave birth at Richmond Hospital. An unregulated industry to effectively gain citizenship for a child has emerged in Richmond.

Some insiders believe the industry will only grow if policy changes are not implemented.

Canadians foot bills Dear Editor, Re: “Hospital becomes passport mill,” Richmond News, Oct. 13.

This subject has been addressed by media in the past. The numbers will only increase. This will take up scarce beds in our already crowded hospitals. That is the immediate concern.

Secondly, it is a back door into Canada that should be closed.

Women who are pregnant in their third trimester should not be allowed into the country. And the stay should not be approved beyond two months before the due date.

If the loophole is not closed, people from other countries could follow suit.

Politicians have failed to act because they like the money coming in. But this situation could create other unforeseen problems that require spending more money than is spent by the so-called birth tourists now.

So, if a child born now in Canada has medical issues and returns to Canada at a later date, who pays for the treatment?

Obviously, you and I. Waiman Lee Richmond

Easy fix for birth tourism Dear Editor, Re: “Hospital becomes passport mill,” Richmond News, Oct. 13.

Thank you, your photo on the front page tells this whole despicable story and your Voices Column highlights the problem and who needs to fix it.

Your reporters have done an excellent job giving the residents of Richmond the whole story.

Canadian citizenship for sale! What a terrible abuse of Canadians.

This blatant two-tier immigration policy must be ended by the governments involved and those enabling it. This outrage bypasses our culture and our values and reduces our worth as a country. This act comodifies our citizenship by placing the emphasis on ability to pay as the primary requirement. Citizenship and health care are a right for those who are Canadian.

Unfortunately, the present system is full of back doors to the front of the line.

These need to be removed. The whole immigration process needs to be overhauled and updated as it is manipulated by those with enough money to get around the rules.

Obviously with zero conscience this just seems like another business transaction and a whole industry has sprung up to support this. Consultants and baby houses arrange paperwork, and doctors hold appointments for cash only. Pathetic.

For years “birth tourism” has put wealthy individuals at the head of the

long line to come to Canada and become a citizen.

This has been going on for too long.

How many thousands of queue jumpers have already come in this way?

Make elected politicians accountable.

Tell your councillors at city hall to petition their local MLAs to get the B.C. government to instruct the Health Ministry to get all hospitals on the same page. No more different rules in different jurisdictions!

Only Women’s Hospital officials bar foreigners from registering to give birth.

That is the right model/template to fix this.

Tell your MPs to tell Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to back up his promise for equal opportunities for those coming to become Canadians. The MPs can read I hope. Read this Mr. Peschisolido. Read this Mrs. Alice Wong. There is enough information in this story to provide them with all they should need and the Prime Minister is in charge with a majority.

This shouldn’t take long to write new laws that work for Canadians and that do not provide business opportunities for the unscrupulous consultants, baby houses, caregivers at thousands of dollars a month.

So make Trudeau responsible to correct this scam. It’s his problem now. Fix it!

LETTERSto the Editor

Target real offenders Dear Editor, Re: “Richmond targets B&Bs while many short term rentals roam free,” News, Oct. 13 I followed the proceedings regarding short term rentals closely. I attended council meetings, read documents, wrote to councillors etc. It seems to me residents were most upset about illegal rentals: AirBnBs and hotels that were causing excess traffic, noise and nuisances in neighbourhoods. It was a good day when new bylaws were enacted in reaction to public input.

It is now extremely disappointing to hear that city staff are targeting legal B&B operators. These are people who live in and contribute to the community. They are the people that follow the rules. They have been licensed for years. They now live with the

stress of possibly having those licenses taken away for minor zoning violations.

It’s my opinion that these people are not the problem that needs to be dealt with. One needs to only peruse the dozens of postings on online booking sites to see that the illegal operations are not being shut down. Why are the new bylaw officers and licensing staff not cracking down on those operators?

I ask city staff to please provide the public with some numbers as to how many illegal lodgings have been shut down or even fined since the new regulations came into effect.

The public deserves to know whether the new rules are working to their intended effect.

he Bayit — a small orthodox synagogue in south Richmond — is doubling down.

After growing its small congregation 10-fold this past year, the group’s president Michael Sachs, with the assistance from the region’s Jewish community, has doubled the size of its place of worship, near No. 3 Road and Steveston Highway.

To help celebrate, the synagogue, in partnership with Chabad of Richmond, hosted “Shakes in the Shack Sukkot Carnival” on Oct. 8 in a sukkah hut.

A traditional sukkah is typically made of wood and bamboo and covered with palm leaves. It is a temporary shelter that signifies the time when Israelites lived in the wilderness.

At The Bayit, a modern sukkah was built using a tarp. Members gathered outside to eat and share stories.

Sukkahs are built to commemorate Sukkot, a biblical holiday that marks the remembrance of Israelites performing their famous pilgrimage, led by Moses and at the will of God, to free themselves from slavery in Egypt. The week-long holiday comes at the time of harvest and thus has an agricultural component.

This year, it happened to fall on Thanksgiving Sunday, putting Rich-

mond in a particularly grateful mood.

The sukkah was generously donated by the Fadida and Burton families, said Sachs.

Attending the festivities were Richmond’s MLAs, Coun. Alexa Loo, Coun.

Bill McNulty and Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who listened to some of the issues pertinent to Richmond’s Jewish community, said Sachs.

The Bayit holds weekly services and prayers for the orthodox community and lays claim to the only kosher Mikvah (spiritual bath) in Richmond.

Richmond has a small but vibrant Jewish community. In 2011, National Household Survey showed 2,885 Jews in the city.

In Richmond, fewer folks are speaking Hebrew in their homes, according to recent census data. In 2016, only 270 people claimed Hebrew as their mother tongue in Richmond and just 120 speak it at home. In 2006, 180 people claimed to speak Hebrew at home.

Census data on religions will be released on Oct. 25.

VOICESon Retirement

Jewish holidays are time to reflect

However, asking for forgiveness requires insight and courage: Civkin SHELLEYCIVKIN Retirement For Beginners

T

he Jewish High Holidays, which just passed, and which fall between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish new year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), are a time for reflection and repentance.

It’s during this time that people are engaged in deep contemplation.

We’re called on to ask forgiveness from those whom we’ve slighted or harmed in any way.

Asking for forgiveness is not an easy task.

It requires an awareness that we’ve done wrong, the humility to ask for forgiveness, and the commitment to change our behavior in the future.

In short, it takes insight and courage.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It’s easy to say “I’m sorry” quickly and without really meaning it.

It’s quite another to think long and hard on the ways in which we might have hurt a family member or friend, and then approach them modestly, with heart in hand.

KPU open house

Humility is the key word here.

It’s defined as “freedom from pride or arrogance.”

Let’s face it, we all like to be right, and hate being wrong.

Admitting our faults, whether in word or deed, is a process not to be taken lightly.

We want to start off the new year with a clean slate, and this is the best way to do it.

So, with good intentions and humility in hand, I approached my husband and asked his forgiveness for those times when I spoke harshly or unkindly to him.

For those times when I acted disrespectfully or callously. And he forgave me. And that was the end of the conversation.

To be honest, I was kind of waiting for him to do the same, but it didn’t happen.

I had to remind myself that we should do noble things with no expectation of return.

And I waited. Still hopeful. Then it happened.

He came to me the next day (after the bruising and swelling had gone down) and asked for forgiveness for

“Our open house events always see a great turnout from students who are eager to learn more about our university,” said Dr. Alan Davis, president and vice-chancellor.

things he’d said or done that may have hurt me. And I forgave him.

This made me think — what if the person you ask forgiveness from, refuses your apology?

Are we absolved anyway, or do we languish guiltily in limbo?

Throughout my life there have been people who have hurt me immeasurably, and have never asked for forgiveness.

I carried the hurt, anger and resentment for years, like a huge sack of bricks on my heart.

So many years later, I still harbour a shred of hurt.

Does that mean I haven’t evolved enough spiritually?

Maybe.

Does it mean their act was so heinous that it’s unforgiveable?

Probably not.

What I think it means is that I have more work to do in the area of forgiveness.

Don’t we all.

The Maple Residences 5th anniversary special

Maple seniors get a virtual reality check New world opening up for residents ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

whole new world is about to open up for the seniors at The Maple Residences in Steveston — and they don’t need to set one foot outside of their Steveston homestead to experience it.

Thanks to the ingenuity of The Maples most recent — and by far the youngest — acquisition to the non-profit board of directors, the residents will soon enter the futuristic sphere of virtual reality (VR).

Keen to bring his youth and tech expertise to the boardroom table, 18-year-old Andrew Tong came up with a plan to expose the more adventurous seniors to

the wonders of VR. So, with the permission of his fellow directors, Tong set up a little day out in the spring for seven residents — all of whom happened to be men, with most in their 80s — at a Richmond VR facility to test their appetite for the activity.

“One of the seniors was asking about having a golfing green, but the cost was outrageous,” explained Tong.

“But then I had the idea of a virtual reality golf thing and that sounded good to the board. So they said to me to try and find somewhere local where they could trial it and, if it goes well, they would look at purchasing a virtual reality headset.

“I reached out to a local company — UNIVRS VR Lounge — and said to them I was going to be bringing a bunch of

n Andrew Tong, the 18-year-old board member at The Maple Residences, took a small group of seniors, mostly men in their 80s, to a local virtual reality lounge for a fun day out.

seniors in Richmond. They were great with it.

“They had a great time. We had them on a (virtual) rollercoaster and in an underwater setting, swimming with the fish and another was exploring the Earth. It was a lot of fun seeing their reaction.

“There was a lot of laughter and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

Tong said it was easier than he thought to get the residents to sign up for the VR outing, which was actually oversubscribed.

“It was a hit; they felt like it was real, it was their first experience of this for sure.

Some of them were really, really into it,”

he said.

Tong made a video of the day out and presented it to The Maple’s board, who were “very accepting of it.”

“I’m not sure if it was just because this was the first time I’d really stepped out (as a board member), but they seemed open to it.

“They were very happy with it, so they ended up purchasing a (VR) headset at the end of the summer. It cost about $2,500, I think.

“We haven’t launched it yet, but we are hoping to get it going next month in a specific room.”

The Maple Residences 5th anniversary

Age no barrier for 18-year-old Andrew n Andrew Tong is almost a quarter the age of most of his fellow directors on the board of The Maple Residences in Steveston. However, the McMath grad is settling into his role in the non-profit organization and is making a valubale contribution. Photo

A

s the old adage goes; if you’re good enough, you’re old enough.

Now that he’s been on the board at The Maple Residences for almost a year, it doesn’t seem like the age gap between Andrew Tong and his fellow directors fazes him anymore.

But it wasn’t always like that for the now 18-year-old McMath secondary grad, who’s now studying sciences in his first year at University of BC. After all, most of the other board members of the non-profit seniors community in Steveston were almost four times his 17 years when he joined them late in 2016.

“It was a little intimidating at first, especially when the financials were being discussed, for example. I did a lot of nodding and smiling,” said Tong, who lives in the Steveston area.

“But there are moments at these meetings when I can contribute; it’s just a matter of finding those moments and adding my perspective to the table.

“It’s exciting though, because I have a different perspective than them and can also bring in my technical knowledge.

“So there are definitely moments that I can contribute; those are the moments I live for

really.”

Asked how he thinks the more mature directors feel about having someone almost a quarter their age on the board, Tong — who got appointed via his role in McMath’s leadership program — said he’s confident they value a more youthful perspective.

“In the back of my mind, I hope that they’ve come to accept me and realize that I can offer something different to the board,” he said.

“Hopefully, they can see that I can hold my own and can contribute and bring in projects without having to rely on anyone else.”

When his old school was asked by The Maple to nominate someone from its leadership program to lend a more youthful perspective — and bring down the average age of the board — Tong’s name rose to the top of the list, not least because he was the creator of two school clubs, founder of two start-up companies and was known to be a program coordinator and volunteer around Richmond.

As well as introducing technology into the seniors’ activities, Tong is currently working to connect more local youth with residents at The Maple.

“I’m actually working with the teacher coordinator at McMath right now,” said Tong.

“We have a kind of miniature board, made up of students, which is going to help organize events (at The Maple).”

was asked to write a short article about my experience living at the The Maple Residences. So, for those of you who may be contemplating such a move, this has been my experience.

I left my small townhome and beloved garden three years ago and moved to The Maple.

From the day I moved in, I hated it! I hated the people passing in the hallways who all politely said “hello” and asked me how I was feeling! I hated my one bedroom and den for which I am paying less than $3,000. I hated all the staff who went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I really wished I hadn’t moved. I did a lot of crying.

But, of course, I didn’t really hate any of it.

I hated myself for being so old and decrepit that I couldn’t manage on my own. Gradually, over the three years, I have done a complete about-turn. Now I tell myself, I’m lucky I’m not in a sleeping bag on East Hastings Street.

I don’t have my former garden, but there are substitutes. I bought planters for the balcony (everyone has a balcony) and have enjoyed year-round colourful red geraniums and other blooms. This year, I had a huge harvest of four small tomatoes! And speaking of gardens, The Maple has two beautiful ones with welcoming benches loved and nurtured to be more beautiful by a lady resident. Maple dwellers can have a small plot if they so wish.

Instead of feeling lonely, I have many people like me — old, white haired and bent over a walker -— who are ready to be friends. It’s a matter of picking someone who shares the same philosophy before getting too friendly.

If someone called out, “Will the white haired, lined old lady with the walker please come forward,” there would be a very slow stampede in that direction. I have a heck of a time remembering people. They all look alike, but of course they don’t, and it’s very insulting to ask a person’s name when you’ve been introduced a few times already. I can remember numbers but not names, which is a real drawback in a place like this.

There is no end to entertainment. For those of us who think we have some intellectual acumen, there is the Philosopher’s Café or You Be the Judge or a spelling bee, and no end of games, including Bingo at 50 cents a

card. I made a whole six dollars recently. And whist, crib, bridge, scrabble, a billiard table and body building machines in a sports room close to the beauty salon where shampoos, perms, manicures and pedicures are offered very reasonably.

I am not a foodie, but the meals are healthy, plentiful and served with a smile.

So much is free. For example, there are monthly bus trips to casinos, malls and restaurants (for food we pay). I recently enjoyed a visit to Cloverdale and a heritage train ride for $10.

Two clothiers and two jewellers bring in their wares on trolleys about six times a year and Purdy’s Chocolates comes before Christmas.

You would be tempted to think the architect was a magician. Everything is laid out so well and because the building is new, everything actually works.

Romance isn’t rampant at The Maple, but it still finds a way. My neighbour, who is 97, has just become very friendly with a 94-yearold gentleman.

“I’m robbing the cradle,” she laughed when she told me her feelings for him. And another couple from very different walks of life now travel hand in hand. I don’t know the exact ratio of men to women, but the males must be in heaven with so many single ladies.

There is a suite available for out of town visitors at a reasonable rate and guests for dinner are welcomed for the price of the dinner. I have a friend who stays overnight every four months in my den’s single bed, on her way from the Sunshine Coast to Toronto to visit grandchildren. We have a couple of drinks and reminisce about old times.

Choral and musical groups are brought in for our entertainment. We see everything from an Elvis impersonator to high school classical musical groups.

For many of us, the happiest days are those when our children and grandchildren visit.

My 17-year-old granddaughter, Madeleine, came to talk to the residents about her week in Ottawa with Encounters With Canada. I was a very proud grandmother!

A seniors’ facility can become a world in itself. Residents care about each other. I didn’t go to dinner today and received three phone calls asking if I was OK. I have a macabre sense of humour and laugh to myself when I think of this place as a departure lounge, but it is — and a very nice one at that.

or Liz Yamanaka, a wonderful life — and one marked with overcoming tremendous adversity — has come full circle at The Maple Residences in Steveston.

Yamanaka sat down with the Richmond News to speak about how it all began, back in 1936, when her mother gave birth to her at the Japanese Fishermen’s Hospital, which was situated on the very site of the residence.

Memories have faded somewhat, but Yamanaka maintains a good sense of humour, especially when asked to spell her name for the newspaper.

“Ya-ma-na-ka. Lots of As,” she chuckled.

She recalls a very different Steveston back then, most notably the Interurban Tram that took her family to school near Brighouse, or Vancouver. She remembers walking the wooded areas around Pheonix Pond.

Today it is busier, but the walks are just as enjoyable.

“I love Steveston. This is my home,” she said.

A “very difficult” moment did mark her life, that being the internment of Japanese residents during World War II. Still, she called Greenwood, in south central B.C. home for 10 years, from 1942 to 1952. And, despite the disruption, “it was quite nice; there were many other Japanese people there.”

Yamanaka lived a typical life in Steveston

for her generation. She didn’t finish high school but got some training at a local business college. She married a fisherman in her early twenties and put aside her future career to tend to her two daughters, Yvonne and Donna. As they grew up, she eventually found work in canning fish at the old B.C. Packers factory along the Fraser River.

Her husband, Tak, passed away eight years ago, after over 50 years of marriage.

Five years ago, she moved into The Maple.

She grew up with five brothers and four sisters, many of whom were born at the hospital, which was built in 1900 by the Fraser River Fishermen’s Association, a coalition of Japanese fishermen.

The hospital was built to tend to local Japanese people who were largely ignored by white society. Still, they kept the hospital they paid for open to all people, with a fee, when space was available, notes Steveston Historical Society.

It would have cost Yamanaka’s mother about $35 for a midwife at the hospital in 1936.

In 1947, the Army Navy Air Force local acquired the building, which burned down in 1956. However, the hospital’s administration building remains and now sits just behind the Steveston Museum ond Post Office on Moncton Street. It has recently been restored and made open to the public.

Yamanaka still enjoys Steveston, as she did as a young girl and an older teenager.

“Oh, I still go around, you know, up to Super Grocer and around,” she said.

5th Anniversary

It’s been a pleasure working with your friendly and always professional staff.

We are honoured that the Maples has entrusted Madden Solutions Ltd with transitioning many residents into their new home.

Trojans at last sink Whalers Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

T

he Hugh Boyd Trojans would like nothing more than to earn another home game for their retiring coaches. They can take a big step towards doing that on Friday afternoon.

Richmond’s only high school football team will take on the John Barsby Bulldogs at 2 p.m. in what is the final scheduled game on the Boyd turf for Bill and Bruce Haddow (see page 24). However, a win over the Nanaimo school could very well mean another home playoff game sometime next month.

The Trojans (1-1) control their own destiny for at least a second place finish in the Western AA Conference after a big 30-20 win over the Ballenas Whalers last Friday. Now, they will look to pull even with the Bulldogs (2-0) and hold the tiebreaker with a victory.

Last Friday’s result was somewhat of a breakthrough performance against an opponent that has provided plenty of trouble in the past.

Boyd showed promise in losses to top ranked teams Windsor (25-14) and Vernon (30-13) but still only had a 1-3 overall record. The Whalers were looking for their third straight win in Richmond,

including a stunning 68-42 romp a year ago that knocked the Trojans from the unbeaten ranks.

The Parksville school surprised them with an onside kick recovery and took advantage of a major penalty to extend a fourth quarter drive that would eventually tie the game at 14-14. With the result very much up in the air, Boyd took over with 16 unanswered points — led by Grade 10 quarterback Byron Ruvalcaba.

He hooked-up with Isaiah Daniels for a pair of key completions, then found Zach Jackson for his second major of the night from 13-yards out. The Whalers provided some breathing room when a pair of bad snaps in shot gun formation resulted in a safety to make it 23-14.

Senior tailback Reace Mok then iced the win when he burst through a big hole for a 29-yard touchdown. Ballenas closed out the scoring on the game’s final play.

“This is a nice feeling,” said Bill Haddow. “We have been struggling offensively for sure and our defence has been hanging us in there. We have been trying to find some rhythm. We really couldn’t run the ball until today. We’ve been pushing the offensive line a lot (at practice) and they are getting better.”

The early season struggles producing yardage and points weren’t a surprise given the Trojans

lost four very good offensive lineman to graduation, along with a veteran quarterback. However, they still have some game-breaking weapons in Jackson, Mok and receiver Shakur Lopez.

Ruvalcaba is already playing beyond his years and showed terrific touch on a deep ball to Jackson for his team’s opening score. He finished with three touchdown passes, also connecting with Lopez.

“I’ve been hard on Byron because I see his potential. I want him to grow, take charge out there and be an elite quarterback. In a couple of years, I won’t get to enjoy the fruits of those labours, I guess, but that’s okay. “He has a really strong arm and understands the game. He just needs to slow it down and make those reads,” added Bill.

The Trojans also kept the Whalers off balance by using the wildcat formation in several situations with Mok replacing Ruvalcaba under centre.

“Reace has been frustrated at times this season but he also demands so much respect from his teammates,” added Bruce. “When he is at quarterback in wildcat it is basically two running threats with him and (Austin) Berry.

“I was worried so much about this game given what happened last year. But I know we can compete with anyone, especially if our offence keeps progressing. I’m very proud of these guys. “

Final home game for Haddows on Friday Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

I

t will be one big celebration at Hugh Boyd Secondary School on Friday afternoon to honour two longtime teachers and their tremendous volunteer work on the football field.

Bill and Bruce Haddow will coach their final regular season home game when the Nanaimo’s John Barsby Bulldogs visit for a 2 p.m. kickoff. The brothers have been coaching in Richmond for 42 and 40 years respectively.

“It’s weird the way things work out. When we started this program 20 years ago, our first-ever game was at Barsby. Now here we have come full circle,” smiled Bill.

“I’m expecting a ton of alumni and former students to be coming out which I’m really looking forward to. I think it’s going to be an electric atmosphere out here. A big party and a nice celebration.”

Bruce won’t have to look far to find two other special people in

his life nearby. His son Kyle is a member of the coaching staff while his wife Linda has rarely missed a game over the past 40 years.

“It’s going to be very emotional,” said Bruce. “For Bill and I, this (program) is our little baby here. I hope a lot of people come out not because it’s our last game. I want them to come see a good football team too. They will know Hugh Boyd Football is still going strong.

It’s still valid and it’s still relevant.

That’s what we are most proud of.

“It’s still competing and it’s still doing okay.”

In typical Haddow fashion, the brothers made it clear plenty of attention needs to be directed at the players too. For the seniors, it will also be their final home game.

“We’re going to make sure the focus is not away from these kids,” added Bill. “It’s not about us. This is their year and their team. I have had 42 years. They get two years of high school football.

“Some of the kids at practice have said ‘coach we will do it for you’ and I say don’t do it for me.

I have lots of wins. I’m good. Win for yourself. They need it.

“First and foremost, I don’t want to take away that the focus is on

Barsby and the focus is on winning,” added Bruce. “This team deserves that respect. It’s their year, not anybody else’s. We have

had our years.

“Our attention this week will be fully on Barsby. These guys have worked too hard for anything less.”

Sockeyes shake-up roster with flurry of trades Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

F

ollowing a week of trading frenzy, the Richmond Sockeyes dug deep Saturday night to pull out their biggest win of the young season.

Trailing the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 4-1 after 20 minutes and in danger of falling seven points out of second place, the Sockeyes roared back for a 6-5 overtime victory. Brett Gelz’s hat trick goal, on a set-up from Noah Wozney, completed the comeback to lift Richmond’s record to 6-40-1.

With the team somewhat sputtering along with up-and-down performances, first-year head coach Steve Robinson finally took action by sitting out a couple of core veteran players in the Sockeyes’ 6-5 win in Aldergrove back on Oct. 4.

It would be the start of a significant roster shake-up.

A week later, general manager Richard

Petrowsky had completed three trades — moving four forwards. Cameron Kovesdi and Allan Gekhman were sent to Ridge Meadows and Port Moody respectively for future considerations. The club also swung a significant deal with the Grandview Steel-

ers, acquiring 20-year-old Braeden Gurney for Brodie Crawford (20) and Connor Alderson (19).

Gurney had a goal and two assists in North Vancouver.

“There were some guys that I was struggling to get the message through on so I healthy scratched them (in Aldergrove) and that definitely got everybody’s attention,” said Robinson. “I knew that could go one way or the other but I finally felt like it was time for me to say enough is enough. The entitlement train is over. The guys in their own way asked for a trade and I said no problem.

“These aren’t bad kids and I wish them no ill will. But it was clear that what they had before with (former head coach) Judd (Lambert) and where they felt they were here now. We brought in a lot of forwards and I preached being a three-deep first line team and everybody else bought in. Those guys kept asking why don’t I get more ice?

“I was fine with moving forward under my terms but they said they rather be some-

where else. I appreciate them being honest.

I told ownership and Richard what I wanted to do and they were totally supportive.”

The Sockeyes now just need to get their goaltending situation sorted out. They have been leaning heavily of late on Seafair juvenile affiliate Hardarshan Hoonjan who was superb in relief Saturday with 19 saves on 20 shots.

Veteran Jacob Latrace is out indefinitely with a high ankle strain. The club has also been in contact with Marek Pipes who is trying to land another opportunity in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The soon-to-be 19-year-old was the PJHL’s top goalie a year ago.

Former Greater Vancouver Canadians netminder Lukas Shaw, 17, is also in the equation as he gets close to full health from a pre-season injury.

The Sockeyes are back in action Thursday when Grandview visits Minoru Arenas at 7 p.m. Crawford and Alderson each scored Sunday in the Steelers 7-2 win over Port Moody.
