Richmond by far highest in B.C. for offshore housing purchases

According to a small window of data col-lected by the provincial government on

residential real estate purchases in B.C.,only 3.3 per cent was sourced from foreignnationals.

However, those figures were higher inMetro Vancouver, with one city standing outin particular — Richmond.

Numbers crunched by the B.C. govern-ment during a 19-day period in June of thisyear, revealed that one in seven propertytransfers, or 14.3 per cent, on Lulu Islandinvolved a foreign national (defined by thegovernment as someone who is not a per-manent resident or a Canadian citizen).

The data was released Thursday afternoon

by Finance Minister Mike de Jong, and wasquickly criticized and questioned by localacademics and the opposition NDP.

“Today, they’re content to ignore warningsfrom our national banks, from FINTRAC,and from academics, because they’vecollected 19 days of self-reporting data oncitizenship status. It’s incredible,” said NDPhousing spokesperson David Eby.

The data was collected after the provincialgovernment began asking home buyers ifthey are a Canadian citizen or a permanentresident. DeJong stated 90 per cent of allforeign purchasers were from China.

Tom Davidoff, director of the UBC Centrefor Urban Economics and Real Estate, calledthe data “imperfect” and told the RichmondNews that it’s important to understand thesource of all capital flowing into the hot realestate market.

For instance, offshore money can be fun-

neled by foreigners to relatives and busi-nesses, or permanent residents and citizensmay be bringing in money on their own.

Either way, noted Davidoff, the data onforeign nationals doesn’t paint the entirepicture of why Metro Vancouver’s housingmarket is unaffordable to local buyers, ashousing prices far outstrip upper middle-class, local incomes.

“I don’t think we learned the extent outsidemoney is driving the market,” said Davidoff,adding it’s important to keep in mind that,overall, other factors such as low interestrates, a weak Canadian dollar and homeequity loans are part of a growing red flag.

Furthermore, the short window of datamay not be entirely accurate, granted Juneshowed a relative slowdown in the market,noted Davidoff, who said a more telling set ofdata would have been income data on home

Car buyers warned after trader is banned

People who bought second-hand cars inRichmond are being warned to check

their records after a dealer was caughtrolling back odometers.

Arthur Tong, who ran Delta Well Ltd. andNew Star Motors, has been banned for lifefrom selling vehicles.

Tong — who operated New Star out ofa unit at 4280 No. 3 Road in Richmond,near Browngate Road — was caught bythe Vehicle Sales Authority of British Co-lumbia (VSA) after a complaint was madeby one of his customers.

Thirty of the customers who bought acar with adjusted mileage were given theirmoney back after Tong was caught. Intotal, more than $118,000 was handedback, including four people who had theirvehicles purchased back by Tong andDelta Well.

It’s understood at least nine other cus-

tomers of Tong are out there unknowinglydriving cars with much more mileage thanthey believe.

The VSA’s director of learning and com-munications, Doug Longhurst, said theauthority only bans twoor three dealers per yearand sending a warningout to the public is “veryrare.”

“We felt the need to dothis because, althoughMr. Tong is banned fromoperating as a dealer, wefeel he may still be outthere and people need toknow,” added Longhurst.

Few of the cases theVSA handles, said Long-hurst, involve the rollingback of odometers.

The VSA is now warn-ing car buyers in the Richmond and Deltaareas to avoid buying vehicles associatedwith Tong, Delta Well or New Star Mo-

tors due to the “deliberate, illegal sale ofvehicles with tampered odometers.”

Tong, added the VSA, had sold thesevehicles while posing as a private seller,mostly on the Internet.

Following a detailedinvestigation and hear-ing, Ian Christman, theRegistrar of Motor Deal-ers in B.C., cancelledthe dealer registration ofDelta Well Ltd, New StarMotors and the sales-person licence of Tong.Tong has since beenissued a lifetime ban andis to have no affiliationwith a motor dealer inB.C.

During the investigationand initial suspension ofTong last fall, the VSA

supervised the return of over $118,000 to30 customers, including the buyback oftwo vehicles.

And in a May 24 decision, the registrardetermined that, after openly admittingto routinely rolling back odometers, “Mr.Tong was not apologetic and compensatedconsumers only after being caught.”

It was also apparent, said the VSA, thatTong showed “no indication of remorseor any evidence of rehabilitation or insightinto the impact of his actions.”

As a result, there is concern that he maycontinue to engage in unlawful activity asan unlicensed seller and may continue topose harm to consumers.

The VSA is asking people who haveknowledge of any current unlawful orprohibited activities by Tong, or who mayhave been affected by his actions in thepast but were not located during thecourse of the investigation, to contact theVSA.

The VSA does have a limited compensa-tion fund for others who may have beenaffected by Tong’s illegal sales.

Citycouncilshowshunger

Richmond councillors have unani-mously endorsed a non-binding

set of principles to guide the city instrengthening its local food produc-tion.

“It’s a no brainer. Everyone shouldsupport this,” said Coun. Ken John-ston at a council meeting Mondayevening.

The Richmond Food Charter wascreated by a number of organiza-

tions but put forth to council by theRichmond Food Security Society(RFSS).

“Food charters address the foodsystem holistically from productionthrough processing, consumptionand waste, and guide for policy plan-ning, and program development,”noted RFSS executive director AnitaGeorgy, in a letter to council.

By endorsing the charter, coun-

cil has vowed to “preserve andstrengthen land and water resourcesthat support food production” inRichmond. It will also “foster aculture that values and supportsfarmers and farm work.”

Johnston acknowledged theimportance of local food productionto buffer consumers from volatileinternational food prices, especiallyfrom California and Mexico.

“I called this the winter of the $8cauliflower,” he quipped.

Coun. Harold Steves said thecharter can help guide regional foodsystem planning. He added thathe hopes it can create a road mapfor diversifying food production,as Richmond has been shifting tomonoculture farming, such as bigdairy and berry farms.

purchases. “The data I would (want)wouldn’t have China in it,” he said. “Ithink it was kind of weird to focus onnationality.”

Nevertheless, Richmond’s real estatemarket was the most influenced in B.C.by foreigners.

From June 10-19, records showedthere were 392 residential property trans-fer transactions in Richmond.

Foreigners accounted for 56 of thosetransactions, or 14.3 per cent. Of the$432 million that changed hands in Rich-mond, foreigners handled $62 million.The data showed foreigners were buyingproperties with the same average value aslocal purchasers.

Meanwhile, Burnaby showed the sec-ond largest share of foreigners purchas-ing properties, at 10.9 per cent. Vancou-ver’s share was 4.1 per cent, although ithad the most foreign purchases, at 1,139units.

Davidoff said money flowing from Chinais “absolutely the story of the last 12months,” whereby the benchmark priceof a single detached home in Richmondhas risen 48.5 per cent, more than anyother jurisdiction in Metro Vancouver (atypical home now costs $1.7 million).Even townhouse prices have punchedabove the $700,000 mark, now sitting at$709,000, on average. Aside from PointGrey in Vancouver, no other jurisdictionhas shown a greater rise in detachedhome prices in B.C., over the past de-

cade, than Richmond. On Monday, Ebywas quick to pounce on Premier ChristyClark, after the Vancouver Sun reportedthe Quebec government-run immigrantinvestor program received a record-breaking number of rich immigrants com-ing to Canada on a cash-for-citizenshipscheme.

Eby said the provincial government hasbeen silent on the matter, as propertytransfer taxes bolster the B.C. govern-ment’s coffers and new construction jobsaccount for the majority of job growth.

According to data from UBC geogra-pher David Ley, Richmond has one of thehighest rates of settlement by immigrantinvestors, who continue to flock to B.C.,via Quebec, after the national programwas cancelled in 2014.

Meanwhile, federal Immigration Minis-ter John McCallum recently told the Sunthat he has no intention of challengingQuebec’s immigration policy that seesforeigners with $1.6 million in assets getan express lane to citizenship with an$800,000 loan to the government (whichis returned, interest free, after five years).

At issue is data showing, on average,such immigrants in the program reportingless income than refugees.

Clark’s government maintains it is help-ing housing affordability, stating Thursdaythat, in 2016, it introduced the NewlyBuilt Home Exemption, which saves newhome buyers up to $13,000 in propertytransfer taxes. The exemption is in linewith Clark’s push for more housing sup-ply in the region.

Coun. Harold Steves ispressing the City of

Richmond’s parks plannersto come up with a viablesolution for a row of 12 steelpilings sitting off the shore ofGarry Point Park.

“Effectively, I’ve chal-lenged staff, and said that,if you don’t have a use forthem, then why are theythere?” Steves told the Rich-mond News.

Steves has opposed thedozen, “ugly” steel pilingssince they were installed in2010. However, he does notoppose the idea of a dockor pier at the same location,noting when a temporarydock was placed there,alongside the pilings, resi-dents made good use of it.

Steves said he hasn’theard back from plannersas to what will become ofthe pilings.

Last month, Steves askedcity staff to report back onthe costs of removing thepilings, if there is no longterm use for them.

“I’ve got a dialogue goingback and forth with staff,”he said.

The pilings’ fate maybecome clearer follow-ing Richmond’s Canada150 celebrations in 2017.As part of those celebra-tions, the city procured theJapanese tall ship KaiwoMaru for a visit in May. TheKaiwo Maru will berth atGarry Point Park, courtesyof a temporary, floating dockattached to the pilings.

Meantime, Steves said hesees no problem putting theKaiwo Maru at the No. 3Road Pier, should plannershave no long term use forthe pilings.

Another factor at play isthe city’s review of the GarryPoint Master Plan, expected

to be presented to citycouncil next year. The exist-ing plan shows the park tobe divided into three zones:natural, natural maintainedand commercial. The oldplan envisions many thingsthat have yet to come to frui-tion, such as an interpretivemarine centre, a two-storeyrestaurant, a playgroundand a permanent pier on theeastern side of the park.

Last December, a peti-tion at GoPetition.com wasformed to “Secure GarryPoint Park as the Natu-ral Jewel We Cherish.” Itquickly garnered hundredsof signatures, but has sincetailed off at 990.

Ground broken onnew fire hall

Construction of Rich-mond’s new central fire

hall officially kicked off witha ground-breaking ceremo-ny Thursday.

The $22.3 million projectwill see a new 25,240square-foot fire hall built onthe same grounds of theformer fire hall at GilbertRoad and Granville Avenue.

The new building willbe about 8,000 square-feetlarger than its 1962-builtpredecessor, earthquakeresistant and built to LEEDgold standard.

Money from the city’sreserve fund will pay for thisfinal component in Rich-mond’s public safety rebuild-ing program.

“Long ago, we realized ourfire halls and the main policeheadquarters were aging andthey were potentially unableto meet some of our grow-ing needs,” explained MayorMalcom Brodie in a speech.

“Many of these buildingswere very much in dangerof being severely damaged,should there be a majorearthquake.”

Since 2006, Richmond haseither replaced or retrofittedall of its fire halls, such asHamilton No. 5, Sea IslandNo. 4 and Steveston No. 2.

The new Cambie No. 3fire hall, to be completedthis year, will also house anew BC Ambulance station.The new Brighouse No. 1 isanticipated to be completedby late next year.

“When the new hall opensnext year, you will find anexpanded, four-bay firefacility and this will enable

the Richmond Fire-Rescueservice to serve the needs ofour community for decadesto come,” Brodie added.

In 2011, the RichmondRCMP detachment movedinto its current location onNo. 5 Road, which wasre-developed as the securityheadquarters for the 2010Winter Olympics.

The person in charge of overseeing careat Richmond Hospital’s maternity ward

says Canadian citizens and residents ex-pecting to give birth shouldn’t be concernedabout being bumped by a foreign national.

Instead, Diane Bissenden, director ofpopulation and family health for VancouverCoastal Health (VCH), said all patients,including so-called “birth tourists,” shouldexpect quality care in the ward, which isknown to be one of the best in the province.

She added that there is no evidence thatnon-residents, who now account for aboutone in six births in the hospital, have di-rectly bumped Canadians to other hospitals.

Bissenden said the hospital doesn’tdiscriminate between private-paying non-residents and taxpaying residents.

“When people enter to receive care weprovide the same levels of care to peoplewho require it. Staff don’t define level ofcare based on people’s abilities to pay, orwhere they come from,” she said.

Last fiscal year, to March 31, out of the

1,935 births at the hospital, 305 were tonon-residents (almost one in six). In theprior year (2014/15), out of 2,185 births,339 non-residents gave birth — which set anew record at the time.

Bissenden said during the past 18months, she has documented 28 patientswho have been transferred to anothernearby hospital. Of those, 14 were becauseof space and staffing issues.

“So, it’s not very many,” said Bissenden.“When there are surges, sometimes we

have to transfer people to the other hospi-tals,” she said.

With 15 birthing beds, Bissenden said thehospital is almost always near capacity.

Statistics Canada initially told the Rich-mond News non-resident births were nottracked. On Friday, a spokesperson stated2012 data had been accrued from healthauthorities across Canada, noting therewere 699 recorded births by non-residentmothers in that year.

Bissenden said her guess was as goodas anyone else’s as to why Richmond hassuch a high rate of non-residents givingbirth.

She speculated it is because Richmondhas Chinese-speaking staff and physicians,

who understand Chi-nese culture (Bissendenestimated, by tabulatingmedical forms last year,that about 98 per cent ofthe non-residents givingbirth are Chinese nation-als).

“If you were to have ababy, where would youfeel the safest? Probablysomewhere someone canunderstand you.”

As for payments, Bis-senden said the repay-ment rate is “very high,” at about 95 percent. The hospital asks non-residents topay a $7,500 deposit for a regular birth and$13,000 for a C-section birth — roughlythree times the cost of an insured resident.

If every non-resident birth was a regulardelivery (non C-section), the hospital wouldhave generated an estimated $1.7 million innet profit in the last fiscal year. The moneyis put into a general revenue account forVCH.

Non-residents could also be showing upin Canada to obtain better medical service.Bissenden said the hospital has a high vagi-

nal birth rate, an indica-tor of excellent care.

Another reason for fly-ing to Canada could beautomatic Canadian citi-zenship for the newborn.

Last month, a petitionwas penned by Rich-mond resident KerryStarchuk to put an endto “jus soli” citizenship.Petition e-397 now hasmore than 4,500 signa-tures.

Although non-residentsare shown to leave the hospital after birthone day earlier than their Canadian residentcounterparts (who stay about two days,on average), Bissenden said there areno indicators that lead her to believe thehealth of the babies is in jeopardy. Althoughnon-residents are also not afforded visitsby public health officers, said Bissenden,their re-admission rate is so low it’s nearlynegligible.

“It would be unusual to see a non-resi-dent come back,” she said.

“I can’t speak if they’re putting them-selves at risk,” she said.

Treatment the same for all expectant mothers, according to Richmond Hospital


The lively tableau, pictured, depicts pollinators with nativeplants in the Lulu Island Bog.

Native pollinators were active here long before Europeansbrought honeybees to North America. In recent years, a disorderthat wiped out many honeybee colonies has reminded us thatdiversity matters.

At top left in the tableau, with the Pacific crabapple blossoms,there’s a rufous hummingbird. It’s tiny, yet it migrates north fromMexico and back each year.

On the right, feeding from a fireweed flower, there’s an Anna’shummingbird. It’s so hardy that it lives here all year round.

At bottom left, a painted lady butterfly is flying above the peatmoss — sphagnum moss, the keystone species in the bog eco-system. This kind of butterfly likes rain, but it, too, migrates towarmer climes in cooler weather.

Also at bottom, a blue orchard bee is almost hidden among thebog cranberries. Naturally, blue orchard bees are good at pollinat-ing fruit flowers.

The bumblebee in the middle is gathering nectar from a boglaurel flower. Unlike the other native plants in the tableau, boglaurel has no traditional use for food, warmth or health care, but itserves bees well.

The Lulu Island Bog extends from Westminster Highway northto Alderbridge Way and from Garden City Road east to JacombsRoad. It’s two square kilometres of remnants of peat bogs thatonce covered nearly half the island.

The City of Richmond also calls the Lulu Island Bog the CentralWetlands. That’s fitting, since it keeps losing ground to “suc-cession,” becoming bog forest and fen (wetland with a differentecosystem).

The gradual loss makes the surviving peat bog more precious— worth restoring and enhancing. To help show and conserve itsvalues, the Lulu Island Bog has an interpretive centre, the Nature

House, in the Richmond Nature Park.Each April, there’s a “Hummingbird Homecoming” event in the

park. In summer, the fen in the southwest corner of the wetlandsis abuzz with native bees.

People picked up hundreds of Lulu Island Bog colouring sheetslike the pollinator tableau (as line art) from the Garden City Con-servation booth at the Salmon Festival. As well, you can downloadthem from my “Natural legacies versus waste” blog.

Tableaus condense natural scenes, and this one uses a cartoonstyle. Still, artist Suzanna Wright and ecology advisor MichaelWolfe, who are teachers, kept it true to life.

LETTERSto the Editor

Dear Editor,There is an old saying, “If you stand for

nothing, you will fall for anything.”This is very appropriate for what has been

happening in Richmond and other areas ofMetro Vancouver over the past few years.

Foreign buyers have been taking advantageof the “open door” policy in this province topurchase property to park their money.

Residents of Richmond know the numberof foreign buyers is much higher than the 14per cent being reported for our region by thegovernment. It’s possibly even up to 40 percent.

There would be normally nothing wrongwith investment property, as long as theproperty purchased was being rented out ifthe owner was not a citizen or resident livinghere.

However, what has happened in Richmondwith the number of vacant homes and con-dos, and the animosity this has created as aresult, is another story.

Rules, regulations and laws are developed

to prevent anarchy, which unfortunately hasbecome the state of the real estate market inGreater Vancouver lately.

Although financial penalties from $250,000- $500,000 are now being created to prevent“shadow flipping” or agencies or agents rep-resenting both buyer and seller, this has notgone far enough.

There should be stricter penalties for foreignbuyers, real estate agents or realty agencieswho continue to use Richmond and MetroVancouver areas as Monopoly property, oftenthrough the manipulation of lax real estatelaws when purchasing through relatives,friends, “students,” corporations or trusts.

The buyers should be prevented frompurchasing any real estate in B.C., whetherdirectly or through other avenues as relatives,friends, corporations or trusts.

The agents and agencies should also imme-diately lose their realty licences in this prov-ince, since many realize fines alone will notdeter many of them, especially those workingwith extremely high-priced properties.

Although this may seem a harsh punish-ment, since many innocent realtors maysuffer for the recklessness of their colleagues,it would put a wrench into what has beenhappening. Some innocent realtors may evendecide to (anonymously) turn in the guiltyones themselves.

It is necessary for each of us to stand forsomething, otherwise we will watch it all fall,and the animosity in Richmond will continueto grow at an exponential rate.

If we ask why the provincial governmenthasn’t already put rules in place by now,we only need take a look at the $700,000increase in value of the premier’s home be-tween 2009 and January of this year.

That increase is much closer to $1 millionby now, so why would any members of theB.C. government want to put a deterrent inplace if it could lead to a further $1 millionincrease in their own property through moreforeign buyers?

R. LewisRichmond

Dear Editor,Being as Richmond is a significant

player in TransLink, with SkyTrain and anew bus garage being built in Hamilton,it would be good to know, via an FOI, towhat it cost, in the early to mid-1990s,to retrofit a large number of buses with abelt securement system for wheelchairs,to remove and discard the perfectlyworking hooks (which, unlike the belts,could tighten to provide safer secure-ment for various mobility devices).

I’m most curious as to the motivationfor a refitting to a more difficult, less se-cure system. Is it, as I jocularly surmise,a case of the belt-equipped buses beinga nickel cheaper?

Or was there some grease provided tosomeone?

The belts are pretty much obsolete, asmost transit vehicles use the Q-Straintsecurement system.

JIMWRIGHTDigging deep

Dear Editor,As much as I don’t

want to pay tolls, I tire ofstructuring my travels toavoid the Massey Tunnelbetween 2 and 7 p.m.

It’s simply too chaoticand stressful during thosefive hours. We also havea nasty habit of build-ing bridges too small.They are full as soon as

they are built. Buildingsix lanes for cars now isthe correct solution. Twolanes will be transit andtwo lanes will be full oftrucks. The hyperboleof calling it 10 lanes ismisleading. It’ll be niceto have a bridge we canrely on.

Templehostsopencelebration

An annual celebration honouringancestors has grown from being

strictly a Steveston Buddhist Templeevent, into a showcase of Buddhist andJapanese culture, with dancing, foodand games that is open to all.

Bon Odori is a Buddhist festival heldduring the Obon, which is when Bud-dhists believe spirits of their ancestorsreturn to this world for a visit.

“Bon Odori is a dance of joy festivalto recognize all the things our ances-tors have done, so we can live the lifewe live today,” explained ReverendGrant Ikuta, temple minister.

“Traditionally, in the summer time inJapan, whole villages would gather andthis is something Japanese Buddhistsin Steveston have been doing for over70 years.”

It has been about eight years sinceIkuta became the reverend at the GarryStreet temple, which is when the con-gregation started actively inviting theRichmond community to this event.

“It started with word of mouth andit became more and more popular,”Ikuta said, adding about 700 peopleattended last year.

“You don’t have to be a Buddhist toattend.”

The festival will take place on Sat-

urday, July 16, with gates opening at4 p.m. Entertainment starts at 5 p.m.with the temple’s Bon Odori dancers,the Jodo Shin Taiko drummers, huladancers and the Satsuki Japanesedance group. There will also be foodbooths selling things such as Japanesemiso pulled pork sandwiches, chowmein, sushi and teriyaki. The religiouscomponent of the festival, a service,will be held on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

The story behind Bon Odori stemsfrom one of Buddha’s disciples’,Maudgalyayana.

One day, while Maudgalyayana wasmeditating, he was able to see hisdeceased mother’s spirit, who was putin the realm of the hungry ghost andwas suffering.

Those in this realm were starved, asany food they put near their mouths

would burst into flames.Shocked, he sought help from Bud-

dha for help, who explained she wasput there because, while alive, shegave Maudgalyayana too much loveand attention, at the expense of others.

To help his mother, Maudgalyayanawas instructed to hold a large gatheringduring the rainy season and make anoffering to all the monks. He did andthe next time he meditated, he saw thathis mother was relieved from her suf-fering. He then danced with joy.

The Steveston Buddhist Temple(4360 Garry St.) is one of the oldestBuddhist organizations in Canada.Their first temple was built in the heartof Steveston village in 1928 and thecurrent temple was built in 1963.

Known far and wide as a consummatewater-burner, at the height of my infa-

mous culinary expeditions I have:Given my husband and myself food poi-

soning (just once);Coated fish in icing

sugar instead of flour;Screwed up Kraft Din-

ner.Upon retirement, I made

a commitment to cookmore. This frightens myhusband, Harvey, to noend. But then I success-fully baked challah breadand made a kick-assbrisket.

Full of confidence andswagger, I attemptedAsian short ribs last week— in the slow cooker,according to a legit recipe.

When the ingredients were all cozilyensconced in the Crock Pot and a fewhours had passed, a sweet smell beckoned.It seemed that everything was in place toensure a successful, yummy dinner.

Seven hours later, the meat tender asanything, I served Harvey the short ribs. Weboth ooh’d and aah’d over the tasty meat,with Harvey even saying that the short ribscould well be my best dish yet. High praisefrom a man who wears a chef’s tunic whenhe cooks.

Then all hell broke loose. At approximatelymidnight, Harvey started experiencing anupset tummy. Followed by voluminous vom-iting and diarrhea. Meanwhile, I slept likea baby. The next morning, I asked how heslept and he recounted the tale of the short

ribs from Hades. I think the culprit was thesesame oil.

The takeaway from this is to keep tryingnew stuff when you retire, even if you expe-rience a major setback or two (see above).The whole point of retirement is to try newthings now that you have the time for them.

I think I may put away my apron for aweek or so while I try my hand at a craftproject that involves box cutters.

Harvey is nervousagain.

This first six monthsof my retirement hasbeen an incredible timeof exploration, freedomand unregimented days.Truth to tell though, Imiss having a routine.

So, in September I’llstart looking into volun-teer opportunities. I havemy eye on things to dowith babies or seniors,two age groups I particu-larly enjoy.

Apparently, Women’s and Children’sHospital has volunteer “baby cuddlers,”which sounds wonderful. Of course, visitingisolated seniors also appeals to me. We’llsee where the volunteer journey leads me.Bottom line is, I want to feel useful and helpothers.

For retirees who want to explore volun-teerism, check out Volunteer Vancouver(VolunteeringVancouver.ca) for opportu-nities in B.C.; Go Volunteer: ConnectingVolunteers with Not-for-profits (GoVolunteer.ca); or the web pages of organizations andgroups you’re interested in.

As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said: “Remem-ber that the happiest people are not thosegetting more, but those giving more.”

“People don’t realize that weare actually located in themiddle of the Fraser River,”

says Morgan Lechner, Executive Chefof the Pacific Gateway Hotel’s signaturerestaurant, Pier 73. “We’re out on stilts ona long pier surrounded by a brand newmarina. There’s a 6,000 square foot deckand patio with a day dock off the end.”Although Pier 73 is part of the Pacific

Gateway Hotel at Vancouver Airport,restaurant General Manager, TimLattimore, notes that it is much morethan just another airport eatery.“We want people to know about the

passion we have about knowing whereour food comes from. We work with B.C.suppliers as much as possible, whether it’sfor Morgan’s menu selection or for ourcraft beer and wine lists, both of whichare very B.C. heavy. We’re much morethan a hotel restaurant.”The menu features fish supplied by local

fisherman, grass fed beef, ultra-freshproduce, and pork from an ethical FraserValley pig farmer.“Gelderman Farms in Abbotsford

limit stress in the pigs’ lives by givingthem access to fresh air and the ability

CSIonsciencecampmenu

Gathering evidence from amock crime scene, DNA

extraction and learning aboutrobotics are just some of theunusual, science-focused,summer camps available toRichmond teens this sum-mer.

Insight Chemistry Tutors,in collaboration with theRichmond School District, isoffering five, unique campsto get teens interested in sci-ence and technology.

The courses are being ledby UBC professors, gradstudents and scientists,some whom are experts intheir field, such as biochem-ist David Dolphin and UBCchemistry professor SuzanaStraus, according to OliviaNew, of Insight ChemistryTutors.

Some of the camps alsoinvolve field trips to UBCresearch labs, RichmondHospital and the forensic de-partment at a police station.

“We want to make scienceand technology, engineer-ing, biology and chemistry,fun and exciting,” said New,explaining she has encoun-tered many kids who said

science is boring. “We wantto make kids scientific liter-ate.”

One of the most excitingcamps is the crime sceneinvestigation (CSI) camp,which will teach teens howto collectDNA, gatherfingerprintsand analyzeunknownsubstances.

There willbe forensicexperts,who willspeak abouttheir reallife experi-ences. Thereis also a SoYou Wantto be a Doctor camp, whichwill introduce students tomajor human body systems,through the lens of a doctor,and the process in becominga family doctor or a special-ist.

Also offered is a campfor biology, chemistry andthe very popular science,technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) camp,which filled up fast.

New said knowledge andskills attained from science

teaches people to be logicaland can be transferred toother fields. For example, aperson who knows chemistrycan apply those skills to be-ing a chef.

“The decisions we makeare affectedby science,”New said.

“Theenvironmentis the mostimportantthing to usas humanbeings butwe are notknowledge-able aboutit and if wehave moreknowledge in

it, it will affect the decisionsand choices we make.”

New began offeringafter-school programmingon STEM at the RichmondPublic Library a couple ofyears ago, as well as at vari-ous private schools.

“Richmond is a communitythat is very education keen,which is why I’m pilotingthis program here,” Newsaid, adding she also lives inRichmond. “People here arehungry for education.”

n Students enrolled in a science-focused summer camp in Richmond will get to see the practicalapplication of their knowledge as they explore the roles of forensic investigators and even a familydoctor. Photo Submitted

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Mark BoothSports [email protected]

Wilson was big part of Richmond baseball scene for many yearsThe Richmond Baseball community is

mourning the loss of a popular longtimecoach who gave back to the game for thebetter part of three decades.Stew Wilson passed away last month fol-

lowing a brief illness. He was 85.It was in 1977 when Wilson’s son Gary

joined the Richmond Budgies as a player,one year after the program had re-locatedfrom Nat Bailey Stadium.“At the time, he was recovering from

stomach cancer but he was very interested,in the team, the game itself and we alwayschatted after games,” recalled longtimeRichmond coach and manager Gord Low-rey.Playing under main sponsor Richmond

Autobody, the senior men’s club eventuallymoved to Minoru Park in 1983 and Wilsonagreed to come onboard as a pitchingcoach with the junior team. He continuedwith that role until 1989 when the organi-zation re-structured and Wilson was putin charge of pitching for all three teams(premier, senior and junior) which typicallytrained together.“Stew was an integral part of the Rich-

mond baseball scene from his playing days

in the late 1940s to coaching with RichmondAutobody and then the Richmond Budgies

until our demise in 2007,” said Lowrey. “Heworked with players ranging from 16 to 30

years-old and was just a well-respectedbaseball man.”Wilson’s late wife Beverley was also a big

part of the Budgies volunteer group, takingon several duties including scorekeeper. Thecouple were often referred to as “Mr andMrs. Baseball” in Richmond.In recent years, Lowrey and Wilson took

their longtime friendship to Legend’s Pubon Saturday mornings. When word got outabout their regular meetings, former playerswould often show up to catch up with theircoaches and reminisce about their days onthe diamond.“Stew was one of those guys who was

genuinely interested in what you had to sayand would talk to anybody about anything,”added Lowrey. “If you asked him a question,he would give you an honest answer and tellit exactly how it is. He was a straight shooterthat way and held no grudges.”A celebration of Wilson’s life will be held on

Saturday, July 16 at 1 p.m. at the RichmondFuneral Home.

In lieu of flowers, the family is askingto consider a donation to the BC Heartand Stroke Foundation or the BC CancerSociety.

RCBA’s Challenger program a big hit

While Richmond City Baseball all-starteams take aim at provincial champion-

ships over the next month, arguably the as-sociation’s best work this season producedsmiles and laughter on a regular basis.It was two years ago when the RCBA

launched it’s Challenger Baseball Division forchildren with cognitive or physical disabilities.The program’s structure was established

at the national level by Challenger BaseballCanada, with partnership from several orga-nizations including Baseball Canada, TorontoBlue Jays and Sport Canada.When John Braaten took over as associa-

tion president and wanted to proceed withthe Challenger Division, he didn’t have tolook far to find a dedicated volunteer to runit.“When John brought up the concept, I told

him to sign me up,” smiled John Parnell. “Myyoungest son has autism and I had no ideaabout this whole world of special needs kidsbefore that.“I grew up playing sports, my two older

kids play sports, so we started lookingaround. There wasn’t a lot going on so I vol-unteered on the board with Richmond City

Baseball and specifically to start this.”The Challenger Division is held on week-

ends from April to June and is designated forplayers ranging from five to 18 years of age.Registration for the entire season is just $50.After running out of Brighouse Park last

year, the program shifted to Whiteside el-ementary where it shared the diamonds withRCBA’s T-Ball program.The whole idea is to ensure the kids and

parents know and feel they are part of theregular minor baseball environment — com-plete with Chuckers’ ball caps, t-shirts and aconcession stand nearby.The sessions are no more than hour and

Parnell admits he is still learning on the fly.Challenger Baseball Canada provided theassociation with start-up equipment and hehad to determine what works and doesn’twork for his players.“Last year was big learning experience. We

tried doing a game and wow the kids werejust sitting there in the dugout for eight to10 minutes,” said Parnell, a Steveston Highgrad. “This year we had hitting, relay andthrowing stations for five minutes at a timeand the kids just rotate through. Then wetypically end each session with a 10 to 15minute game.”Parnell couldn’t pull this off without tremen-

dous support.

His wife Shauna leads the way — onand off the field — coordinating volunteerseach week and keeping an eye on the kids’behaviour.Challenger Baseball has a “Big Buddy”

system where each player is partnered upwith a volunteer. The support for the Rich-mond program is so good that it’s typicallytwo volunteers per child.

“The world is so different now. When mykid was born I was petrified at how he wouldbe treated,” admitted Parnell. “ The numberone thing I am blown away with (from thisprogram) is the volunteers.“They are young like teenagers and are so

nice. Now I see my son in school how theyinteract with him and it’s amazing. It’s somuch more accepting now and it’s so great.”
