‘Seniors’ act like babies Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Whew, that was close. I just about had the seniors discount I’ve enjoyed at my local community centre for the last couple of years ruthlessly clawed back. Lord knows what would have happened if it was. I guess I would have just stopped going to the gym, stayed home and got dementia.
9 5
Never mind that I, like most in my demographic, own a home, earn more now than I ever have (not like it’s a lot, but still) and plan to keep working, full time, for almost another decade. To hear some tell it, I was destined for a sad, lonely life if I had to wait, like almost everyone else in the Lower Mainland, until I actually retire at age 65 before I got that $67/year discount. I’m referring, by the way, to our story about how the city had planned to raise the qualifying age for a seniors discount at Richmond community centres from 55 to 65. The change was set to happen July 1, but at Monday’s council meeting a local realtor, who I understand works with a lot with seniors, presented a petition opposing the change.
11
Heeding the pressure (or maybe they just couldn’t take another deluge of outrage after the rainbow crosswalk debate, see page 9), councillors decided to put the whole thing on hold so they could have a “sober second look” at the decision – a decision, I’ll add, that was made two years ago with the support of local community associations. Now, let’s just think about this for a minute. The reason why seniors get discounts is because it’s recognized that, on average, they are no longer employed, hence have less income. It is also the case that, on average, people in the 55-65 range are still working and are at the peak of their earning power. Granted, there are a myriad of exceptions that can, and should, be addressed, but when we are making decisions based on age, it makes sense to look at the financial averages for that age group. No? The problem, of course, is that a discount was given and now it’s being taken away, at least that was the threat. It’s a bit like taking candy from a baby. I know that expression is supposed to imply it’s easy to do, but if you’ve actually tried it, you’d know it’s anything but. Don’t get me wrong, I like my discount as much as anyone. However, I also know it’s a bit ridiculous that I’m getting it in the first place. I’m not rich, but I’m also not struggling the way I was when my kids were young, and the way, (again, if we look at averages) a lot of young families are. And this is what irks me about the issue. The money generated from raising the seniors age was intended to flow directly into low-cost programs for kids and subsidizes for low-income individuals. This makes perfect sense.
37
39
If we’re going to provide discounts on the basis of age, let’s support the age groups that (on average) need it most. If we’re going to provide discounts on the basis of individual need, then let’s do that, regardless of age. The only sobering thing about having to take a second look at giving a discount to a group still working, and at top dollar, is how much some middle-agers can act like babies.

Couns. defend $5.3m bowling decision Dear Editor, There have been a lot of comments recently about council’s decision to fund a new lawn bowling clubhouse in Minoru Park. As councillors, we believe the public should be fully aware of the long history associated with this project and council’s reasons in approving it. The Richmond Lawn Bowling Clubhouse was constructed in 1963 and is located in the north east corner of Minoru Park. The existing lawn bowling facility does not adequately accommodate the club’s current membership; there are no change facilities, lockers are inadequate and it lacks the amenities needed to host major competitions. The current clubhouse’s pan-abode structure does not lend itself well to renovations or expansions.
In 2016, Richmond City Council identified the renovation or replacement of the lawn bowling clubhouse as one of the city’s top five priority major facility projects. Richmond Sports Council, which acts as a voice for local sports groups, supported this as well.
Before proceeding with the project, the city undertook public consultation
Lawn bowling is popular among the city’s growing older adult population. It is a very social sport, and provides community connections, particularly for older adults. The city is committed to providing recreation and sport facilities like this which inspire seniors and others to be active, connected and healthy for a lifetime.

Council rejected proposals to consider adding extra floors to the building for residential or other community needs. Minoru Park is the green heart of Richmond. We need to carefully maintain the balance in our signature park between open space and facilities supporting community needs. Using the airspace above the building to add more density in the form of housing would erode open space and is not an appropriate use of our valuable park land.

rangements for other groups with community needs to have access to the building, when space is not required for club activities.
This new building will serve the community for several decades so the initial investment of $5.3 million should be considered in terms of the building’s lifespan. The project costs will be largely funded from our reserve accounts, meaning there will be minimal direct impact on property taxes.

Does editor have an Coun. Au’s true colours fly anti-LGBTQ phobia? Dear Editor,
Re: “Speed of rainbow irks Coun. Au,” News, June 20.
Dear Editor, Re: “I step up for rainbows,” Voices, June 20. I would like to respond to Eve Edmonds’ column in the Richmond News. In regards to the LGBTQ issue and/or community, it is amazing how the mainstream media more or less never talks to the average citizen who disagrees with the LGBTQ position and then report back to the public at large why they disagree with it and/or what they do believe. One thing for sure is that those who disagree are immediately labelled with being some kind of phobia. A quick googling of phobia on the internet gives you this following definition “an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.” Is this what we are like? Are we irrational? Do we have no critical thinking skills? Do we have an extreme fear or aversion to those in the LGBTQ community? Do we lock ourselves in our homes if someone who is LGBTQ crosses our path? I think not. So stop this play on words and labelling
Considering Coun. Chak Au’s past history of intolerance, including his well-reported stance against marriage rights for same-sex couples, I am not surprised he is the only city councillor who voted against the motion to spend $15,000 for a rainbow crosswalk near the Brighouse Library.
us who disagree with LGBTQism (if that can be a new word) as if we have some kind of phobia. Second, on the issue of what is “hatred?” Have we come to the place in Canadian society that if we disagree with something that this is immediately being “hateful” or the content of what is believed is “hatred?”
Arguing the cost or the lacking of consultation is dog-whistle politics. I have never seen Coun. Au being upset about the cost or having issues with lack of public consultation to have Christmas lights go up in front of the city hall every December .
If this is so then we no longer live in a free and democratic society where freedom of speech is championed but rather one group’s/community’s (LGBTQ) intolerance of another group’s/community’s (those who disagree with LGBTQ) disagreement with them is championed.
Coun. Au may say he is supportive of the LGBTQ2S community (interesting enough he never mentions that to the local Chinese media), but his action speaks otherwise. Once the fake layer of “fiscal prudence” is peeled off, Coun. Au’s bigotry is on full display.

I challenge Eve Edmonds to meet one on one, face to face with myself and my wife and have a talk with us, find out why we disagree with what the LBGBTQ community believes and find out if we have irrational fears or if we’re being hateful. If she does she not want to meet, is it because she has an anti-LGBTQ phobia?
Dear Editor, Re: “Former ‘Parents slate’ members demand more consultation,” Online, June 21. I just have to ask: are you sure Ms. Gong is in fact a resident of Richmond? In the article she asks, “Should we paint signs for other groups of people to celebrate equality, such as paint-

Furthermore, in 2019, the capital budget for the City of Richmond is close to $120 million, $15,000 for a rainbow crosswalk equals to 0.0125% of the city capital budget. Anytime the city spends 0.0125% of its budget to showcase a sign of kindness and acceptance, it’s money well spent, I’d say.

Let gays have their rainbow crosswalk. It’s innocuous and a veritable bargain compared to the $600,000 scramble crosswalk in Steveston. And if people celebrating equality offends you, tell yourself that Richmond supports unicorns, or Lucky Charms, or just likes pretty colours.

Dear constituents, As many of you begin a busy summer filled with community events and time with family, I want to take a moment to update you on our recently-completed spring legislative session. On May 30th, the Legislative Assembly sat for the final time until October, so for the next five months the NDP government escapes public scrutiny and accountability from the Official Opposition in the Legislature. Rest assured I will continue to demand answers regarding issues impacting the constituency. You may recall, the Massey Tunnel Replacement Project was shovel-ready after five years of consultation and $80 million spent. It was cancelled by the NDP government. Let there be no doubt, we are starting from scratch. A new $2-million-dollar engineering report will be tabled in the fall. While municipalities and First Nations have agreed on a plan for replacing the tunnel, we are still many years away from seeing a completed crossing– meaning increased gridlock every day that impacts our residents’ health and affects businesses of all sizes when it comes to attracting and retaining employees. One of the core values of our society is equal pay for equal work. During this session we learned the NDP government gave unionized community service workers a $4 per hour increase at the expense of 17,000 non-unionized workers. This is blatant discrimination. In Richmond-Queensborough these non-unionized workers are responsible for the care of seniors, children and the vulnerable in society. Why is this happening? Because the NDP are trying to force the unionization of 120 social service agencies across the province. In the construction trade, the NDP government introduced the Community Benefits Agreement, which hands public sector projects to a small group of trade unions that have deep ties to the NDP. It will also drive up costs. B.C. taxpayers are already on the hook for a 35 per cent cost overrun when it comes to the four-laning of the Trans Canada Highway east of Revelstoke. Remember, the CBA will also apply to the Pattullo Bridge construction project and future Skytrain expansion. The challenges are endless when dealing with the NDP government, whether it’s pretending that its 19 new and increased taxes aren’t harming affordability or failing in its promise to build 114,000 new housing units in ten years. 1,575 units are fully open this year,1,200 of which are modular. At this rate it would take 70 years to reach the government’s numbers. My colleagues and I will continue to work hard and hold the government accountable for its promises. I hope you’re able to spend some quality time with loved ones this summer.

Land sale in whose best interest? land was slim on details regarding the size of the parcels and their current designated land use. I think these should be part of the public notice, and this notice should be published before you decide what you will do, not a legal formality after the fact.
Open letter to city staff, Mayor and Councillors, Thank you for taking the time to reply to me about the sale of four parcels of land on Patterson Road (8911, 8931, 8951, 8991) to Coastone Investment Ltd. However, I am not satisfied with the city’s explanation.
A few years ago, I heard about another city property near Sexsmith Road (where the Parkand-Go used to be) was sold to a developer. Despite so many developments, the building of affordable housing has stayed a trickle for Richmond. If the city keeps on this track, we will never make up the shortfall we have in terms of affordability for residents with local incomes. We can’t keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome.
Since information regarding what land the city owns, as well as what it chooses to buy and sell, is not accessible to the public, there is no way for a resident to know if this current proposal is in the public’s interest. Decisions about buying and selling land are taken in closed council meetings, which means it’s hard for the public to have any input. Even your notice of intent to sell the

landscape of housing unaffordability. You have city-owned land, an army of skilled development professionals and tradespeople, and a surplus. You also have the ability to fast track re-zoning and waive development charges. However, you have no concrete term goal as a council for affordability. As a city, we are neither doing our best, nor are we acting with enough urgency on this issue. Your bargaining for affordable housing and the policy tools around how you get community amenities set the bar too low for making a dent in this climate of housing unaffordability. Please know that you are acting on behalf for all of us, yet you are giving the best deals to a select few while not driving a “hardnosed” bargain for most of us.

Gas price drops create chaos Dear Editor, We have never experienced such price volatility for gas. Nowadays, the price can vary from 17 to 12 cents/litre in a day. Such volatility in the evenings, for a short duration, creates a massive lineup of vehicles spilling onto the roads. This is unsafe for the motorists driving in the vicinity. It cannot be a sign of good business practices for gas stations to have such a lineup. The gas distribution business is shared between a few major companies; more or less, it is a monopolized business. Why can’t they come up with median price for a half a day with a small variation so that all motorists can have comfortable gas fillings both in the evenings and during day time.

Rainbow shines despite deluge Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Safety concerns, disharmony, lack of consultation, waste of money — these were just some of the arguments that 20 people made on Monday trying to convince city councillors not to create a rainbow crosswalk on Minoru Boulevard. In the end, council pushed forward with the symbol of the LGBTQ2S community that will be painted in time for Pride Week — only Coun. Chak Au voted against it. One speaker said the crosswalk would create “confusion” whereby people would think it was only for the LGBTQ2S community to use. She added that there is already equality for all groups in Canada. “Why do we need to put a particular emphasis on the inclusion of LGBTQ2S groups?” she said. Others picked up on the confusion issue saying the rainbow crossing could be a distraction and therefore be unsafe for traffic and pedestrians. Staff noted later there is no data to support that concern. Yet another speaker said lots of people need help from the city and this “special project” isn’t needed.
“The LGBTQ community ideology, they do not warrant public attention nor funding of our city,” he said. “The LGBTQ community are already wealthy and powerful, they are already included in Richmond.” Several speakers argued there wasn’t consultation on the crosswalk and that the $15,000 could be used for things like helping abused women and the homeless.

Other councillors, however, expressed their support for the crosswalk and its symbolism. “People shouldn’t have to erase themselves for the comfort of others, harmony via erasure is not harmony,” Greene said after listening to the public feedback. “LGBTQ orientation cuts across ethnicities, ages, abilities, religion, and they belong here because they are a part of all of us.” She added it’s not political or ideological, rather an “affirmation of human rights and dignity.” Coun. Harold Steves said the message of the rainbow crosswalk will be that Richmond is inclusive and caring; in addition, he pointed out “discrimination against LGBTQ is against the law.” “I don’t see how we can’t support the rainbow (crosswalk),” he said. Coun. Michael Wolfe said, as a high school teacher, he knows students who are fearful of going home as they’re not accepted because of their sexual orientation. Coun. Bill McNulty said the issue is about “our sons and daughters, our friends and neighbours,” adding that “it’s okay to be yourself.”

Man saves pet from pit bull attack rushed Kelli to a 24-hour vet in Vancouver.

She was treated for four deep bite wounds on her neck and six or seven on her back.
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
“She’s doing better now. But she’s going to continue to need treatment for all the bites. They’re going to do an ultrasound on her to see how deep the bite marks go into her skin,” explained Bicego.
A brave dog owner is warning people to beware after he jumped in to save the life of his pet from the jaws of what he believed were two pit-bull-type dogs on Tuesday night.
“She might need more surgery on her infected skin. The bill is already at more than $1,000. Kelli is traumatized but doing OK. She’s eating her food and seems happy enough.”
Ivano Bicego said the two dogs, with no sign of an owner, sprinted towards his five-year-old Australian cattle dog Kelli — who he had let off-leash to pee — about 9:45 p.m. in Walter Lee elementary park.
Amazingly, Bicego escaped the incident completely unharmed.
Within a couple of seconds, Bicego said one of the pit bulls was tearing at Kelli’s neck, while the other mauled her back.
“Not a scratch. I never even thought about my own safety, I just had to jump in. They were going to kill her,” he said.
He ran over and tried desperately to free his dog by punching and kicking her two attackers. But they only let loose of their grip when Bicego decided to smash them with the buckle-end of Kelli’s leash. “I was 20 yards away and I remember shouting, ‘holy shit’ and running over,” recalled Bicego, who has been walking his dogs in the park for 18 years without incident. “They were pit bulls for sure, I know what they look like. They had latched onto her and were savaging her. They were going to kill her for sure. They just wouldn’t let go. “I was on my knees, punching these dogs. Someone on a bike arrived and said something about his dogs being good dogs. I swore at him and told him to get his dogs off.”
Ivan Bicego comforts his Australian cattle dog Kelli, near the scene at Walter Lee elementary, where she was attacked last Tuesday night by two pit bull type dogs. Alan Campbell photo Bicego said Kelli got free and tried to run away, but one of the pit bulls caught her and started mauling her again. “Again I started hitting it with the buckle and on the third strike it let go,” he added. “I’m not sure if the owner then said something to the dogs, but he took off on his bike and they followed him.” Bicego said he immediately called the RCMP and then
“I couldn’t stand by and watch that. I guess I’m kind of lucky.” Bicego recalls the dogs being light grey or brown and their owner being white, aged 25-30, wearing a ball cap and hoodie, which were maybe brown. He was riding a distinctive BMX-style bike, with high, V-shaped handlebars. Richmond RCMP confirmed that officers did respond to an incident and conducted extensive patrols in the area. “I won’t be going back there with Kelli. But I’ll be going back to look for him,” added Bicego. “Be on your toes over there. I’d hate to think what would have happened if it was a smaller dog, or a small child.”
Seniors discount age change put on hold by city Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
City council will take a “sober second look” at a previous decision to raise the age of seniors discounts at Richmond recreation facilities from 55 to 65. The change was set to roll out throughout the month of July to offset a new lowincome subsidy program for all ages. Rory Sutter, a local realtor, had collected names on a petition opposing the change, and he spoke to council on Monday, arguing people aged 55 to 64 are both struggling to help their grown children and support their aging parents. He disagreed with statistics that show this age group has the highest disposable income. “We live in an age where information can be manipulated, just like numbers, to support any rationale,” he said. “Not everyone in this community drives
Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Mercedes or BMWs – there are two Richmonds.”
$150,000, which would offset the expanded fee subsidy program.
In his presentation to council, Sutter emphasized the importance of keeping the “mature” population active, adding it would decrease health-care costs.
The age change was recommended by the city’s community associations.
Coun. Harold Steves asked whether city staff have analyzed the value of getting people in their 50s active. Staff replied that, to make a life-long difference, studies show fitness needs to start at the age of two or three. Coun. Carol Day said the change in age needs a “sober second look,” pointing out that 600 names were collected in the petition, and she made a motion to refer it back to staff for further review and analysis of options. Mayor Malcolm Brodie pointed out at Monday’s meeting the fee subsidy and age change have been in the works for two years and, now, when it’s being implemented and the public has been informed about the changes, that’s when council hears about it.
Not everyone in this community drives Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Mercedes or BMWs – there are two Richmonds. RORY SUTTER
“If we haven’t communicated properly, it’s not for want of trying,” Brodie said. In the end, the moratorium was supported by all of council and more information is expected back in September. City staff have estimated the increase in revenue from raising the age of the discount would be between $130,000 and
The subsidy allows a 90-per-cent discount on programs up to $300 a year for youth 0-18 and $100 for adults, free admission to aquatic centres, arenas and other benefits like free aquafit, free admission to fitness centres and free skate rentals. Those applying are income-tested for the subsidy. Previously, fee subsidies were only available for children and youth. Julie Halfnights, the past-president with Thompson Community Association board, said her community centre association consulted its seniors committee about the age change and they were on board with it. Halfnights said she was informed by her council liaison, Linda McPhail, and by city staff on Tuesday about the moratorium, and she was told the city would bear the costs of the subsidy until the situation gets sorted out.
City sells land for less than half its 2018 value MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
will get other assets as well, as part of the sale and these will be made public after the deal is completed.
The City of Richmond is selling four lots in north Richmond for about $13.5 million while their total assessed value in 2018 was pegged at $28.6 million.
A notice was published last week by the city about the sale of the four lots at 8911, 8931, 8951 and 8991 Patterson Rd. by Garden City Road to Coastone Investments Ltd.
The city, however, has stated it

metres, but 830 square metres is being shaved off along Garden City Road for an asphalt pathway, a sidewalk and greenspace, according to the city. This reduces the entire parcel by about 14 per cent.
When asked about the discrepancy between the sale price and the assessed value, city spokesperson Ted Townsend reiterated the fact the city will get additional assets as part of the deal. He also
noted the assessed value doesn’t necessarily reflect the market value of the land.
Regarding the sale, Townsend said the city couldn’t comment on the specifics “as ongoing land transactions remain confidential until fully complete.” “We can’t disclose details of land negotiations and transactions in process in order to protect the city,
and taxpayers’, financial interest,” he explained in an email. According to provincial records, Coastone Investment Ltd. was incorporated on May 1, 2018. And according to BC Online, a Peter She is the director of Coastone. The 2017 assessed value for the four lots in the Capstan area totalled $17,033,000.

Artist pushes for a green new deal Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
It’s growing slowly, but surely, and by the next meeting, it may have doubled again. A handful of people, some of them strangers, turned up in Erika Koenig-Workman’s Steveston kitchen last month for her Green New Deal (GND) town hall. And on Monday evening, she hosted a second town hall for her Green New Deal Richmond-Steveston group, this time at a slightly more formal setting in the City Centre Community Centre, with around 25
people attending. Koenig-Workman set up her own GND group, with similar events happening across the Western world on the back of a U.S. Democratic-led stimulus package that aims to address a global climate and economic crisis. “We went through the presentation (on Monday) for the Green New Deal and then we broke out into small groups to brainstorm about things they wanted to see happening in the city,” Koenig-Workman told the Richmond News. “There were people of all ages. We talked about moving away from the use of fossil fuels and plastics, with
new jobs being created for those in those areas.” Koenig-Workman said she was “immensely encouraged by the turnout and the feedback.” “And one of the younger attendees put together a quick presentation to empower people to take action. “When people feel they can do something, they will be motivated to make a change.” Koenig-Workman said her group has immediately started working on the next town hall, which will be an outdoor event at the end of July, outside the Beatmerchant in Steveston.

Day added the goals should consist of three top priorities: housing affordability, the environment and fiscal responsibility. “I believe every one of these goals could be wrapped up under one of those – and every single thing we do should be about creating more affordable housing and housing in general in Richmond because we have a crisis,” she said.

Council votes for lobbyist registry A Richmond motion to push for a registry for municipal lobbyists was criticized by one city councillor as being too restrictive for community activists. A motion to send a resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ fall meeting was supported at council by all councillors except Alexa Loo. “We know there are lobbying activities in the city,” Coun. Chak Au, who initiated the motion, told the Richmond News, adding they should be “transparent.” The motion is to create a lobbyist registry that mirrors the provincial one. Loo argued if a municipal lobbyist registry were created, then local non-profit groups and activists who present to council would have to register as lobbyists. More online at Richmond-News.com

CANADA DAY Memories inspire volunteer
BC SPCA Thrift Mart 5400 Minoru Blvd. 604-276-2477
Dickson recalls heading to Minoru — years ago when the boulevard marked the start of the parade — for a pancake breakfast. “Then [we would head] to Steveston to watch the parade filled with floats and marching bands,” Dickson said. After the fanfare of the parade, she would line up for “amazing” chow mein. Dickson’s traditions surrounding the festival took on new forms as she grew up. Before she joined the Salmon Festival committee 10 years ago, Dickson would invite friends and family over for breakfast before the parade. “We would decorate our
kids’ bikes and wagons and then walk to Moncton Street to save our seats to watch the parade. We had to get there early to save seats in the blazing sun, but it was so worth it,” Dickson said.
big changes and have it grow and do what the public is asking for,” Dickson said, adding that she is “very passionate” about the community where her children have also grown up.
It was these lifelong memories that inspired Dickson to work on improving the 74year old celebration.
Three years ago, Dickson became one of the festival’s co-chairs. She said people were looking for more things to do.
“I’ve been watching [the festival] since I was little and wanted to make some
While Dickson said she loves the traditions, the fes-
tival draws up to 100,000 people to Steveston and more activities and places to eat were needed. The festival will feature more than 30 food trucks, plus a licenced outdoor area serving local beer, wine and cider. There’s more music, all topped off by Canadian Hall-of-Famer’s 54-40 and fireworks. There will also be more floats, marching bands and local businesses in the parade.
Dickson helps to promote the parade throughout the year, taking the Spirit of Steveston float on the road. Last August, said Dickson, they travelled to Penticton’s Peach Fest. “We want to take it to Washington State this year and all over the place,” Dickson added. She hopes the float will one day make it to the Calgary Stampede. The committee fundraises to send the float off on its travels.

Sammy’s Fun Zone is expanding at the Steveston Salmon Festival this year to appeal to a larger age group, according to cochair Kirstine Dickson. There will be more bouncy castles, games and wipeout zones, and it will also feature a carnival, inflatable rides, facepainting and balloon twisters. The layout of the zone has also
changed a bit this year, said programming director Ruby Smith. The family stage will be on the grass so that people can picnic as they watch the live shows.

“They stand at the back of the community centre and they just watch all the action on the hill,” said festival co-chair Kirstine Dickson. With a DJ, free hotdogs, pop, chips and a variety of games, teens are well-equipped on Canada Day. The main goal is that everyone there is entertained, fed and feel they have a place where they belong and are left to themselves. “They don’t fit into all the things we necessarily do and I think this just gives them a place to be,” said Dickson. Festival organizers also speak to the RCMP each year about how they can keep the event safe and issues of drinking or rowdiness to a minimum. In previous years, the police had a larger presence in the Youth Zone, said Dickson, but that wasn’t well received by the teens who “revolted” and refused to enter the area.

“But our parents did a wonderful job sheltering us from that. My parents lost everything and had to start from scratch. The only way they could do that was to move forward in a positive way.
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
When they got the call to ask if they wanted to be the honorary parade marshals for the Salmon Festival, Roy Matsuyama and Martin Kuramoto assumed it was a wind up.
“I’m sure there was a lot of resentment in their minds, but they kept it to themselves. And I think we were in a better place because of that.”
After all, despite serving their home village of Steveston with distinction for most of their lives, the very modest pair doesn’t consider themselves important enough to be bestowed with such an honour.
The Steveston born and bred pair, however, said they very much consider themselves to be Canadians first and foremost. “I’ve been involved with (the festival) for, like, ever. I was hired in 1972 as the first recreation leader (at the community centre),” said Matsuyama. “Throughout the many years, we worked hand in hand with the festival committee. We initiated the first volunteer pancake breakfast and the first Bullhead Derby in Steveston, along with many other activities.
And, even though they’re 66 and 81-yearsold respectively, neither Matsuyama nor Kuramoto think they’re mature enough to be leading the parade. “I got a phone call from one of the (festival) directors and he said ‘I’ve got some news for you.’ I said, ‘really, you couldn’t find someone else?’” said Matsuyama, a former Steveston Community Centre area coordinator, volunteer and current member of the Richmond Nikkei Memorial public art project committee. “I said to the guy, ‘Don’t you usually have to be very old to do this?’ Then I looked at myself and realized…that’s me.” Kuramoto, who has been involved with the festival through his Steveston Judo Club for 66 years, had a similar reaction when asked to be a parade marshal, before turning to his pal Matsuyama and saying, “I guess we are the senior guys now.” It’s understood to be the first time in living memory the parade will have two marshals, with festival organizers wanting to connect with the opening of the Richmond Nikkei

Both of this year’s parade marshals, and their families, were affected to varying degrees by the Second World War internment. Significantly, however, neither will be carrying any emotional or historical baggage from the past when they lead the parade on July 1. “I was only three (when interned),” said
Kuramoto, who was born at the Japanese Hospital in Steveston in 1938. “Our parents shielded us from all of that. I didn’t suffer. I never went hungry and never felt any discrimination. I was too young, I guess, and I never heard anything from my parents; they kept any resentment away from us.” Matsuyama echoed his fellow parade marshal, while noting the opening of the Nikkei Memorial last Saturday. “It’s really important that people remem-
“I helped during the building of the new community centre and the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. Steveston has always been important to us and, as a child, I grew up here, this was my backyard.” Although never physically in the parade in all the decades he’s provided festival entertainment, Kuramoto has always made himself available for the setup and takedown at the event. “We have helped put it on for many years, but never taken part. Now we are leading it,” laughed Kuramoto. Noting he and Kuramoto have known each other for 46 years, Matsuyama said the two of them leading the parade “will be an honour. It’s very humbling.”
Salmon bake builds, feeds Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM Each one of the three thousand plates of wild sockeye salmon served at the Salmon Festival don’t just feed Steveston, but help to build it. While each plate costs $16, all of the funds go back into the community. “We don’t take any penny,” said Pam Nijar, manager of traffic and logistics for the Canadian Fishing Company. “We’re actually just concentrating on the community. They needed the funds for the children’s park, for the children’s playground.”

They are so vibrant and passionate about their cooking,” Nijar said. Many of the volunteers return each year, working from 7:30 a.m. when the cooking fires are first lit, to when the plates sell out around mid-afternoon. The salmon bake is one of the largest events held in Steveston and its location is “very special,” said Nijar. “We have our company right in Steveston and our own boat delivering in Steveston.

See cannery through the eyes of a cat Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
What would the Gulf of Georgia Cannery look like if you were a cat? That’s the question a group of younth volunteers set out to answer when they created the cannery cat exhibit for the museum. “The students actually picked some artifacts with our curating team, and they made little panels that tell the story [of the cannery] through the eyes of what a cat maybe would have thought about those artifacts,” said Mimi Horita, the cannery’s marketing and visitor services manager. The Cannery Cat’s Collection is one of two new exhibits the museum has curated for their 125th year, both of which opened May 4. The second, The Label Unwrapped, is an interactive exhibit that explores the designs of canned salmon labels throughout the cannery’s lifespan.

To mark the 125th year, the cannery will be serving up birthday cake at noon, and the museum will be open and free to explore from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the Salmon Festival. Visitors can also enjoy face-painting, caricatures, snack vendors, as well as performances throughout the day in front of the cannery.

Batman to cruise in festival parade Valerie Leung VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Batman (Rick Nelson) and his Batmobile will be cruising in the upcoming Salmon Festival parade on Canada Day alongside the Richmond school district before heading “back to the bat cave!” “The whole reason behind the Batmobile is [because it’s] a fun thing,” said Ken Hamaguchi, chair of the Richmond school board. “We want [the kids] to study hard and do their homework, but we hope that when Batman rolls down the street, they will get excited and remember we are with the school district.” It was difficult for the school district to choose their representatives for the parade this year. It had to take out one of their electric cars in order to have the Batmobile in the parade because festival organizers put a limit on the number of people and vehicles per delegation in the parade. Hamaguchi said they want to promote the environment but still want to engage with the kids at the festival. The Batmobile was created last year for the Breakfast Scramble, an annual event which
Richmond School District invited Batman and his Batmobile to the parade. Photo submitted raises money to support breakfast clubs in Richmond schools. “We are looking forward to [the festival],” said Hamaguchi, “When kids see [the Batmobile] they go ‘Oh, wow’ and it gets them excited.” The parade starts at 10 a.m. from Garry Point Park and continues to Steveston Community Centre.

Canada’s game to be played at Fest Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Sticks will slap the pavement and players jostle for the ball while the air horn sounds at this year’s street hockey zone at the Steveston Salmon Festival. The zone, located on Moncton Street east of the community centre, will host round robin-style tournaments for six to 15-year olds, who will be divided into four age divisions. The games will start at 1 p.m. and carry on until 7:30 p.m., with a DJ on-site to blast hockey tunes and an air horn throughout. This is the second year that street hockey will be a part of the Salmon Festival, and some local athletes will be joining in the competition, said Bryan Tanaka, Richmond’s manager of major events and one of the co-chairs of the Salmon Festival. The Richmond Jets and Ravens are returning to the games this year, and Special Olympics athletes are signed up to play, said Tanaka. Participants will be emailed their game times on June 26.
The Canada Day event will culminate with a fireworks show in the evening. Photo submitted Participants will need to come prepared with their own stick and helmet. Groups can register for the event by June 24 at https://bit.ly/2XCNxrK, but drop-ins will also be welcome to join in the fray on July 1. There will be activities for everyone at the festival, if Canada’s pastime isn’t your forte. The nearby youth zone will feature DJs and games, while more than 30 food trucks, the chow mein tent and annual salmon bake will fill the air with mouth-watering smells.

New faces appear on family stage Valerie Leung VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Singers, storytellers and a yo-yo performer can be found at the family stage for Canada Day this year. The festival is bringing new faces as well as previous favourites like the juggling comedy show with Matt Henry. Winsome Kind will headline the family stage along with Canadian National YoYo Champion Terrance Wang. Scott Perrie and Leora Joy of Winsome Kind, a husband-wife duo from Vancouver, will perform their last local show at the Steveston Salmon Festival before moving to Saskatoon. They will showcase original and cover songs on stage. “We are so excited to be sharing our music at the Salmon Festival celebrations this year,” said Perrie and Joy unanimously. “It’s always a pleasure to play outdoors and for all ages, and especially in beautiful Steveston.” Award-winning yo-yo performer Terrance Wang will be another highlight of the family stage. Terrance Wang has
been fascinated with yo-yoing since he was seven years old and started to learn advanced tricks online. He is a two-time Canadian National Yo-Yo Champion with his recent win on May 19 in the open division. “I am super excited and honoured to perform on the Family Stage at the Steveston Salmon Festival,” said Wang. “I grew up in Richmond, so it feels very rewarding to be able to entertain local audiences on Canada Day.”

Ruby Smith, the programming director for the Salmon Festival, said the festival is trying to create a better family entertainment area. The stage and Sammy’s Fun Zone will be closer together which allows families to enjoy the children’s area and enjoy stage performances simultaneously. She encourages everyone to check the festival website for the stage line-up to plan out their day. For more information on the family stage go to www.stevestonsalmonfest.ca/lineup.

CANADA DAY Urban Myth returns to fest pulling his then-infant children in a wagon to watch the parade and having picnics and barbecues on the parade route.
Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Urban Myth is known for its lively covers of songs spanning anywhere from the 1970s to today. Lately, the band has been challenging itself to take on some more “showpiece” songs, said Booth, exploring tracks like Queen’s Keep Yourself Alive and Deep Purple’s Highway Star.
The name of a local Steveston band was inspired by an innocuous question over drinks with friends. “Our bass player looked at me and he said, ‘Have you heard any good urban myths lately?’ And I pointed at him and I said, ‘There it is. There’s the name of the band: Urban Myth,’” said drummer/vocalist Blaine Booth.
Urban Myth will hit the Main Stage at 3:50 p.m.
This year, Urban Myth is returning to the main stage at the Salmon Festival, where they will open for 54-40. The show begins at 3:50 p.m.
other through their kids, said Booth. Realizing that they each had a musical background, they decided to start playing together.
“It’s a great opportunity for us to showcase the band to a lot of people who haven’t seen us before,” said Booth.
Their first big show, said Jasmine Bharucha, the band’s vocalist, was in 2008 at the River Rock. Since then, Urban Myth has been playing at festivals and events around the Lower Mainland, with summer being their busiest season. And Salmon Festival is “very special,” said Bharucha.
With a set of about 40 minutes the band will play 10 to 12 songs, said Booth, which will demonstrate the band’s flexibility. “We’re going to give them everything. We’ll probably do everything from Shania Twain to KC and the Sunshine Band to Deep Purple. They’re going to get it all,” Booth said. Urban Myth formed 13 years ago, after the five band members met each
The band holds Steveston close to their heart, said Bharucha. Most of the members are long-time Stevestonites and have spent much of the last two decades attending the festival. Bharucha recalls watching her kids in the parade, while Booth remembers
“There’s some extended solos in there that are not easy for some of the members of the band, guitar solos, bass solos, that are a bit of a challenge and have taken a bit of time to perfect,” said Booth. Keep Yourself Alive is one of Bharucha’s favourite songs that Urban Myth currently plays, adding that she doesn’t think the band plays enough of Queen. While the band tries to stay as true to the structure of the original as possible, said Booth, they do add their own spin to the songs – many of which are performed by Bharucha, who takes over vocals originally performed by men. Sometimes the band will extend the song with additional instrumentation, solos or create their own endings. They’re also known to perform medleys of two or three songs.

De Boer, 17, sings for a cause Audrey De Boer will be performing her own 30-minute set for the first time on stage at the Steveston Salmon Festival. The 17-year-old musician, who uses her voice to reach her audience about issues, jump-started her journey into the music industry because of Type 1 diabetes. Her music initially revolved around fundraising and raising awareness for this medical condition, but it has since evolved into something greater. “[Music] originally started with me realizing that I had the power to use my voice as a way of raising money,” said De Boer. “Singing always came to the forefront. It was just a really fun way of doing things for [issues] that I care about.” She has teamed up with others to raise money for causes like the Rick Hansen Foundation and the local food bank. She has also performed at Canada Day ceremonies, election campaigns and hockey games. De Boer has been attending the Salmon Festival as long as she can remember, participating in the parade and volunteering with her family. Festival goers will be excited to hear that De Boer will debut her newest single, titled Nice Guy, along with two other original songs. She will also sing covers and upbeat songs that everyone can listen and dance to. “I really hope that people find a connection to my personal music,” said De Boer. De Boer will be performing on the Playground Stage from 1:15 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. — Valerie Leung/Richmond News

Blended Families and Mutual Wills Agreements; Now there’s a case Introduction
Subsequent relationships are very common now across Canada. The reasons are well known (divorce and death of a spouse are typical). However, a subsequent relationship brings with it some financial complexity, especially if there are children involved. Understandably, each member of the couple will want their children, from their prior relationship, to have at least some of their Estate (this is not meant to exclude the fact that spouses may also want the survivor spouse to have benefit from their Estate as well). This discussion is not confined to couples in subsequent relationships. Indeed, any couple in their Will planning considers what might happen if one of them passes away and the other enters a new relationship. One typical question, for each spouse, will focus on what happens to their children if the surviving spouse enters a new relationship. One answer to the question is to make a Mutual Wills Agreement (MWA). This Agreement requires the surviving spouse to retain the Will she or he made with their now deceased spouse. It cannot be changed. Certainly there may be some variation in a MWA. For example, a change in Executor might be permitted. A new subsequent spouse might be allowed to receive up to, say, ten percent of the surviving spouse’s Estate. The idea is mostly to protect the children, so that they will inherit something in the event a surviving spouse enters a new relationship. Without a MWA, an expected inheritance might be reduced or might even disappear. There are not yet too many cases on the issue, because it is relatively new in our law. Earlier this month, though, reasons for judgment were released in an Ontario Superior Court case, called Nelson v. Trottier (Executrix). This is worth a look. The facts The deceased died in November, 2016. He was survived by his three children and the Respondent wife. It had been a second marriage for both, which had continued for 24 years before the deceased’s death. The deceased and the surviving wife made a Mutual Wills Agreement, when they made their Wills, in 2010. In each Will, the assets of the deceased were bequeathed to the surviving spouse, absolutely (that is, not under a Trust or condition). The couple’s main asset, their residence, was registered as a joint tenancy and so the surviving spouse took it by right of survivorship. It did not fall into the deceased’s Estate, though each of their Wills described what would be done with the residence if the surviving spouse sold it (in terms of distribution of the net sale proceeds). The Estate was worth approximately $4 million. The deceased had been closely involved with the Niagara Christian College, including sitting on its Board and being Chair of the College’s IT Committee. The surviving wife, not long after the death, donated $200,000 to the College (after obtaining legal advice) in order to establish a Tech Centre in the deceased’s name. The deceased’s children sought information from the surviving spouse, but she did not respond to the inquiries. The children launched action. The decision The law of Mutual Wills seems to focus on the preservation of the Wills made by the couple and the imposition of a Trust on the assets. Also, the Agreement must include a clause that the Wills not be revoked. In this case, there was an Agreement. But the issue was whether there was a Trust over the assets of the deceased and if so, when it arose. The Court suggested that the Trust will arise based on the terms of the MWA. The Trust does not arise at the same point in every case. The terms of the MWA (which is a contract) will determine when the Trust arises and the Court in this case held that a Trust would arise when the surviving spouse breaches the MWA. The donation was held to not be a breach of the MWA because it was a small portion of the total Estate size. The deceased’s Will gave the surviving spouse the assets “absolutely”. So as long as her use of the assets does not amount to a breach of the MWA, no Trust arises (over the assets) in this case. The childrens’ application was dismissed. Conclusions This is not the first case involving a Mutual Will agreement, but there are not that many decided cases either. More will come, given that more people know about them. Many factors will influence whether a MWA is made, including the nature of the spousal relationship, the age and health of the children, size of the Estate, the number of children to benefit and whose children they are, the quality of the relationships, among several others. In this case, the Court was in my view correct that the surviving spouse inherited the Estate assets absolutely, however, even though the Court held that a Trust would not arise unless the surviving spouse breached the MWA, she did have an obligation to use her assets in such a way as to “not breach the MWA”. That would appear to come close to a Trust obligation. This couple were wise to make the MWA and I hope more couples consider it.

Kajaks founders launch new run
5-km Rainforest Trail event celebrates & recognizes Indigenous culture Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Dr. Doug Clement and his wife Diane’s remarkable legacy includes the launching of the Richmond Kajaks and the Harry Jerome International Track and Field Meet. Now, the legendary couple’s latest project has the potential to make another lasting impact on their province and beyond.
Doug Clement and Richmond News publisher Alvin Chow are among the Achilles Track International Society members that have launched a 5-km Rainforest Trail Run. idea of the Rainforest Trail Run is to take place near the fall equinox — another significant day in the Indigenous spiritual cycle. It will be even closer to the actual date in 2020. “We have been educating ourselves on the logical protocols,” continued Clement. “I knew it was going to be complex. Even more so just in terms of understanding and respecting what has been here for thousands of years and in our history we have just blanked out.”
That organization’s focus will be activating Indigenous groups to be part of the run. Clinics will be held in the weeks ahead — similar to what is done to encourage first time participants for the Sun Run.
The Rainforest Trail Run being held at Central Park was an easy decision. There was already an excellent relationship with the City of Burnaby thanks to the Harry Jerome Meet at Swangard and the park offers all the required amenities for a festival environment with no road closures required. The Skytrain is also nearby.
Last Friday was National Indigenous Peoples Day which coincided with summer solstice. The
“Its a perfect location. There is a magic about a forest. Our exposure to nature has an amaz-
ing effect on us. That falls into the spiritual side which our Indigenous figured out a long time ago,” added Clement. “Right now we are looking to get started by just getting our foot in the door. The Vancouver Sun Run started with 1,500 people. I don’t see this happening overnight but a five to 10 year project getting up to speed. “I would love to see this become a festival that people will come to Metro Vancouver to actually get involved in. Then invite Indigenous from Alaska to Peru. That’s the dream.” Richmond News publisher Alvin Chow also volunteers as marketing co-chair for the Achilles Track International Society. He has been involved in the planning of the Rainforest Trail Run from the beginning. He says a website (www.rainforesttrailrun.com) is now active and race registration will begin soon with limited spaces.

CAMRYN ROGERS
It was a sensational sophomore season at the University of Cal-Berkeley for Camryn Rogers. The hammer throw standout concluded her campaign by capturing the national title at the NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas. Twice, she broke her personal best, Canadian U23 and school records en route to securing the title. It was the trend of her entire season that included earlier wins at the Pac-12 and NCAA Regionals with record throws. A busy summer is ahead for the McMath graduate and Richmond Kajak including representing Canada the Pan Am Games in Peru. The News is proud to recognize Camryn as athlete of the month for June.

Similar to the Sun Run, all ages and abilities are encouraged to be part of the non-competitive event that will take participants through the scenic rainforest trails of Central Park. The course will start and finish at Swangard Stadium where a day of activities to celebrate and recognize the Indigenous culture is planned.
“We are going to feature Indigenous culture, music, dance. We’re hoping to build it into sort of a festival, ultimately. We are bringing both communities together. Instead of saying we apologize, let’s do something together to show we are real neighbours and friends.”

The Clements and their Achilles International Track Society have announced the creation of the 5-km Rainforest Trail Run — set for Sept. 29 in Burnaby.
“It was probably nine months ago when I woke up in the middle of the night and came up with the idea,” smiled Doug, who at 85 remains tireless and enthusiastic as ever. “You have reconciliation going on and all this other stuff. It’s an uncomfortable position as it doesn’t do much other than to point how guilty everybody is. We wanted to do something that would bring everybody together.

Friends paying tribute to Ian Chan Decorated Richmond Paralympian will be remembered at Oval tourney Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Nairn Mckenna will be thinking about his lifelong friend with every push on Friday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Mckeena and others will be paying tribute to Ian Chan by sitting in a wheelchair for the first time to participate in the second annual Push4Impact — a wheelchair rugby fundraising event for the B.C. Wheelchair Sports Association. Chan passed away suddenly in March at the age of 41. The popular Richmond native enjoyed a decorated career in wheelchair rugby as a five-time Paralympian and world champion — earning numerous individual awards along the way. “This was actually his idea,” explained McKenna, who grew up with Chan in Steveston together. “Months ago he sent some of us a link for this event and wanted us to participate. “He was such a huge personality and a motivational sort of person that we wanted to make Lester Lam & Niarn Mckenna get some practice in a wheelchair on Monday at the Richmond Olympic Oval in preparation for Friday’s Push4Impact wheelchair rugby tournament where they will play in honour of their longtime friend Ian Chan. Photo by Mark Booth sure we did something to remember him. (A golf tournament) eliminates about half of his friends so then we came back to this.” Chan’s tribute team, that also includes some of his former wheelchair rugby teammates, has already raised $7,000 for B.C. Wheelchair Sports in about two weeks thanks mainly to a recent pub night in his honour. Chan’s decorated career also included being featured in the award-winning documentary “Murder Ball” which looked at the lives of paraplegic rugby players on and off the court. Ian Chan passed away in March.
“Ian had always been an athlete and super
competitive. When he was at GF Strong (rehabilitation centre) it was Rick Hansen who convinced him to give wheelchair rugby a try. A couple of years later he was on Team Canada. “We went to the ‘Murder Ball’ premiere together. I saw him go through the entire journey. He was the face of wheelchair rugby and played at the highest level. “I think he was having a bit of a tough time understanding the transition out from that (career as an athlete). He had been grappling with that and doing some coaching as well. He was just a remarkable guy that never let anything hold him back.”
This year’s tournament will feature an Ian Chan Spirit Award. Look for his name to be associated even more moving forward. “We didn’t really have too much time to work with so we decided to start with the spirit award,” explained Matt McDonell of B.C. Wheelchair Sports. “But it will be expanding over the next two years where you would potentially see the branding of the tournament shift to Ian. “He was Mr. Everything. Such a great personality. He always brought a positive vibe when he came in the office. He was a tremendous athlete that had become one of our rugby head coaches.”

The Richmond Kajaks member and University of Indiana graduate cleared 1.76 metres to finish third behind Americans Amina Smith (1.88M) and Tynita Townsend (1.84M). Kimoto stepped into the competition when the bar reached 1.66M and cleared that height on her first attempt. She did the same at 1.71M and needed her third and final

Richmond golf standout taking his career to UBC Fusion’s One of Canada’s top young golfers has committed to the UBC Thunderbirds. Junior star Brycen Ko of Richmond has a signed a letter of intent to join the country’s most successful golf program for the 2021-22 season. It is a significant commitment
for UBC head coach Chris MacDonald, recruiting the exceptional athlete, who started golfing at age four, before he has finished his Grade 10 year. “Brycen is one of the top prospects not just in BC but in Canada,” said MacDonald.
“We are extremely excited this young man has his heart set on continuing to develop his academics and game as a Thunderbird.” As the youngest player in the field, Ko tied for third – alongside current T-Bird Ethan de Graaf – at last summer’s CN
