City should ‘catch up’ to Vancouver, says operator of three mobile food trucks

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A mobile food truck operator says it’s time Richmond rethink a decades-old bylaw that prevents vendors from selling meals on city streets and parks.

“This concept is so new for the City of Rich-mond, that these bylaws that were put in place in the ‘70s still apply,” said Ken Ogata. “I think we need to catch up.”

Ogata, 32, operates a trio of trucks serv-ing Japanese cuisine from a parking lot across from the Bridgeport Canada Line Sta-tion. What started as Tenku Bakudanyaki, a single truck serving grilled seafood fritters at a different location, has grown into three vehicles—the others serving sushi cones and cold noodles.

There’s been plenty of street food buzz in Vancouver, where the city recently awarded 17 licences to mobile vendors. The pilot proj-ect, which aims to expand roadside diets from hotdogs, popcorn and chestnuts, received 800 applications.

Ogata said Richmond’s bylaws stipulate food vendors like him must be constantly moving—similar to an ice cream truck.

“It’s kind of hard to cook in a moving vehi-cle,” he said. “I would love to see Richmond as a city support the idea and provide a safe location for the residents of Richmond and for us to operate out of.”

Ogata started his business in the spring of 2009 after spending a dozen years as a hair-dresser. The Hugh McRoberts grad comes from a food-familiar family, but Ogata said a restaurant wasn’t for him.

“My cultural background being Japanese, I wanted to see more of a mobile food ven-dor. I didn’t see any in Canada other than hot dogs.”

As Richmond grows, so too does its pedes-trian traffi c. According to city rules, mobile vendors can set up on private property as long as they have a business licence and meet

health regulations.But bylaws prevent them from locating on

city streets.“The bylaw allows for true mobile vendors

such as the ice cream truck, but not for some-body to necessarily stop and sit in a perma-nent location for an ongoing period,” said Ted Townsend, city spokesperson.

The original intent of the bylaw, said Townsend, was to be fair to established eat-eries and restaurants.

“While we don’t want to totally discourage mobile vendors, we also don’t want to cre-ate an uneven playing ground, recognizing that standing businesses have a lot invest-ed and don’t want to see their businesses

undercut by vendors.”Until the bylaw changes, Ogata hopes to

lure to Richmond some vendors unsuccessful in the Vancouver street food lottery. His vision is an international food village of mobile food vendors operating on private property.

“There’s an overwhelming demand from people who are wanting to do this kind of business,” he said. “Wouldn’t it be interest-ing if I could get these people who couldn’t get into the city lottery to still be able to op-erate?”

Tasting the food from Ogata’s business swayed brothers Derek and Michael Ip to jump in. The pair were some of Ogata’s fi rst customers and planned to join him with a

mobile food truck of their own. But the Ips happened to win a coveted street spot in Van-couver and now plan to sell croissants from a converted school bus at Pacifi c Boulevard and Drake Street.

“We have other ideas, this just seemed like the best fi t for us,” said Derek, a 22-year-old Steveston grad. “We like to (interact) with customers, so this just gives us a chance to do that.”

The brothers hope to begin operating Panda Fresh Bakery this weekend.

“It’s unique because nothing like this has been offered before,” said Michael, 20, of Ogata’s food truck concept. “We’re trying to do the same.”

More famine than feast for food vendors

Built Green BC fi nalists announced ›› Green is good

August 5, 2010

Going green is a constant concept in today’s eco-friendly world. And to honour local builders who are focusing on building greener, more sustainable homes and com-

munities, Built Green BC has announced the fi nalists for the fi rst-ever Built Green BC awards.

In six sustainable building categories, 24 fi nalists were recently announced, repre-senting a blend of houses and condominiums across British Columbia.

Th e fi nalists include several local developers who have built homes and projects through-out Metro Vancouver, including Adera Devel-

opment Corporation, Bucci Developments, Odenza Homes and Trillium Project Manage-ment (all of whom are also Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association of B.C. members).

“I was not only impressed by the quality

of the fi nalist projects, but also the degree of innovation demonstrated by the builders of these homes,” says Built Green Canada chair-man David Bengert, who is also a judge for the awards, which are scheduled to become an annual event.

Previously, there had only been one award

for Built Green BC within the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C.’s Georgie Awards.

Because the Built Green program – an industry-driven initiative – has grown so much, and to recognize the leadership of its

builders, CHBA B.C. has launched a stand-alone Built Green BC

awards program.“Since its introduction

in B.C., the Built Green BC program has fl ourished,” says Bob Deeks, CHBA B.C. presi-

dent and a Built Green Canada board member.

“Today there are 2,800 registered homes in B.C. which combined, save about 7,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually – this is the equivalent of removing 2,100 cars from B.C. roads each year.”

Winners of the Built Green BC awards will be announced at a gala dinner ceremony Sept. 17 in Vancouver. Visit www.chbabc.org for a full list of fi nalists.

Advocate brings case before B.C. Human Rights Tribunalby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Richmond’s crosswalks dis-criminate against the visu-ally impaired, according to a blind Richmond man who has launched a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

Rob Sleath, 55, is seeking an order compelling the City of Richmond to install audio equipment at intersections that would deliver information to visually impaired pedestrians.

Sleath, a longtime Richmond

resident who lost his vision in 1992, told The Richmond Review he’s negotiated with the city for a decade. Talks came to a head when he learned Richmond installed dozens of special crosswalks—crossings with pedestrian-activated flashing yellow lights—without technology to aid the visually impaired.

Such crosswalks should deliv-er an audio message to pedes-trians other than “chirps” and “cuckoos,” which are reserved for controlled intersections.

“In our mind it was a per-fect solution to a challenging problem, but for some rea-son, the city didn’t want to go along with it,” said Sleath, who is also chair of the advo-cacy group Access for Sight-Impaired Consumers.

Sleath also wants the city to install audio technology at con-trolled intersections that would announce the street name at a push of a button.

“Any sighted pedestrian has the ability to look up at a street corner and identify the intersection that they’re at. A person who is blind or visu-ally impaired in the City of Richmond has no opportunity to do that.”

Simply adding tactile letter-ing and braille doesn’t help all visually impaired pedestrians, he said.

Sleath’s case is scheduled to appear before the quasi-judi-cial body Aug. 23. The hearing is scheduled for five days.

City of Richmond spokesper-son Ted Townsend wouldn’t discuss the specific claim prior to the hearing but said the city takes accessibility issues “very seriously.”

“We have an international reputation for being a very accessibly city. Particularly, we have programs in place deal-ing with pedestrian access for the disabled, including visually impaired.”

fi le photoRob Sleath is hoping to convince the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal that Richmond’s crosswalks aren’t acces-sible for the visually impaired.

Blind man claims discrimination over lack of audio technology at city’s crosswalks

Board leaves location options openby Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

Burning garbage has been OK’d by Metro Vancouver.

Regional directors voted Friday to adopt a draft waste plan that includes incineration, within or out-side the Vancouver area.

Incineration has been a bone of contention for Fraser Valley resi-dents and politicians who say it will damage the sensitive airshed.

Metro chair and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the plan was “collabo-ration of many many years work. Not only people from around this table, but also from the past, are going to be interested in how we deal with this today.”

Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross said after the meeting she was dis-heartened.

“This is SE2 all over again,” she said. “This (decision) just leaves us hanging.”

Her best hope was Vancouver which was opposed the idea of incineration altogether.

Vancouver’s Heather Deal attempt-ed to have incineration removed from the possible treatments of wasteand offered an amendment that the definition of waste to ener-gy include all conversion methods including gasification, but exclud-ing incineration and landfilling.

“We don’t believe in adding more landfills,” Deal said.

Richmond’s Harold Steves agreed, saying there’s no need for an incin-erator at this point.

“Get the mass burn off the table, we’ll have alternatives within 18 months,” Steves said.

Port Coquitlam’s Greg Moore said the conversion technology is “not there yet” as the region needs to dispose of about a million tonnes of waste annually.

Deal said if mass incineration remains a possibility, emerging companies with strong technology won’t bother bringing forward their concepts.

Surrey’s Coun. Marvin Hunt said some directors were “prejudging the process” by hoping to take incinerators off the table. He wants to see mass burn fail as an option, he said, but wants to see the alter-natives.

The board voted against restrict-ing the definition of waste to ener-gy, leaving incinerators and landfills still on the table.

The discussion proceeded to whether a mass burn incinerator would be in or out of the region.

Directors in favour of shipping out of region say they were being sensi-tive to the Fraser Valley air shed.

Port Moody’s Mayor Joe Trasolini said if the board was just going to be relying on science, why

bother with the exhaustive public consultation. He said the board is required to take into account the public input, much of which was against in-region incineration.

Others felt it was a more pragmat-ic approach as the region moves forward.

“If you rule out in-region, you may rule out something that is supe-rior,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart.

Vancouver’s Tim Stevenson said he couldn’t fathom that the region was considering shipping its gar-bage to someone else.

“If we have doubts about it, maybe we want to ship it to Vancouver Island,” Stevenson said. “Happy Birthday to them.”

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said there’s a huge host of emerging technologies available that out-of-region communities might want to host.

She also noted the Fraser Valley is vehemently opposed to such a facility.

“We have to respect their views as well,” Watts said, adding she would approve of an out of region facil-ity. “I think it’s the most balanced approach.”

After rejecting three options pro-vided by regional staff, the board chose to allow incinerators either in or out of the region based on a request for proposal process and judged by an independent party.

Leading up to the vote, Metro was informed of the results of an exten-sive public process, which provided three main preferences for waste disposal.

They included:1. Continue with zero-waste tar-

gets. If enough effort goes into it, those target can be obtained, some people felt.

2. Continue landfilling, which was primarily borne out of opposition to incineration.

3. Waste to energy, which includes incineration, is necessary.

Metro CAO Johnny Carline said the first is nearly unattainable under current conditions.

People who were in favour of the second were primarily concerned about the health considerations with incineration, he said, noting people were also worried about increasing greenhouse gases.

“Health risks are not considered a concern by virtually all the health authorities in Canada, U.S. and U.K.,” Carline said. “And the effect on air quality is “indiscernible.”

In addition to the waste to energy decision, the board also adopted the rest of the draft plan, which included several waste reduction initiatives.

Because of strong public reaction to decrease the amount of gar-bage going to landfills, Metro staff are recommending an 80 per cent diversion by 2020. Previously, the goal had been a 70 per cent diver-sion by 2015.

The notion got strong support from the board.

Players compete for board game supremacy this weekend


Local board game fanatics are lining up soldiers, positioning ele-phants and readying horses as they prepare for battle this weekend at Aberdeen Centre.

The Western Canada Xiangqi Association is organizing a Chinese chess (xiangqi) tournament at Aberdeen Centre Aug. 7 and 8. Players will be dreaming up diag-onals en route to capturing their opponents’ general, vying for cash,

trophies and ancient board game bragging rights.

Xiangqi is a variant of Western- or international-style chess, but the object of the game remains the same—capture the enemy’s gen-eral. It’s a faster-moving game than Western chess, with pieces played on lines, not squares.

The friendly tournament, which runs from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, is open to players of all ages and abilities.

Player registration is $3, plus a $20 “completion guarantee,” which will be refunded to participants who complete all seven tournament rounds. The winner will receive a trophy and $500; second place will net $300 and third gets $200.

Waste plan now goes to the province for approval

From Page 3It was pointed out

those are minimums, and each municipality can expand upon those diversion targets.

Director and Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner supported the targets, but pointed out how difficult they will be to obtain.

The “aspirational” goal of 80 per cent is “higher than anywhere else on planet earth.” she said.

The board also con-sidered introducing placing extra charges, similar to beverage container return pro-grams.

Carline also recom-mended lobbying senior levels of gov-ernment to prohibit non-recyclable mate-rials from production and import.

This is to “prevent the problem before it starts,” Carline said.

“We want to make recycling easier. We are expecting people to go to too much inconve-nience to recycle.”

That means putting recycling depots in each municipality.

Part of the plan is to compost all residential organics by 2012 and by 2015, banning all such food and kitchen waste from landfills.

Steves said he and his wife began recy-cling everything they could a couple of weeks ago and claims to have obtained a 79.9 per cent diver-sion.

The targets in the draft plan were adopt-ed by the board.

The document now goes to Environment Minister Barry Penner – likely by August or early September.

Penner could approve the plan as present-ed by Metro without changes, make chang-es himself and then approve the amended plan or flag deficien-cies in the plan and send it back for Metro to amend and resub-mit.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University was named a 2010 Progressive Em-ployer of Canada, among a select group of “mom-friendly” employers by Connect Moms, momcafé and Lisa Martin International.

The groups initiated the annual Progressive Employers of Canada List after conducting a nationwide survey in November 2008 to de-termine what women, and moms in particular, who are traditionally underrepresented in the workforce,

were looking for in a workplace of choice.

“That Kwantlen has been selected as one of 2010 Progressive Employ-ers of Canada demonstrates the university’s continuing emphasis on members of its community and creating a working environment supportive of its faculty, staff and employees,” said David Atkinson, Kwantlen president and vice-chan-cellor.

A 61-year-old Richmond man with a penchant for 10-speed bikes and a history of drug traf-ficking has been arrested by Richmond Mounties.

RCMP officers watched Harry Preston Coleman for two months before making the arrest. According to Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, police “observed activity consistent with drug trafficking” throughout Richmond.

Instead of using a car to alleg-edly make drug deals, Coleman used a 10-speed bicycle, accord-ing to police.

Police executed a search war-rant on July 21 at a home in the 6000-block of Blundell Road, where they arrested Coleman. Investigators found “evidence related to the trafficking of drugs, including methamphetamine and related packaging materials,” according to Turley.

Coleman is known to police. He

was charged with drug trafficking in 2006, police say.

Investigators also found sev-eral high-end 10-speed bicycles, which investigators believe may be stolen. RCMP is encouraging members of the public to call Const. Jason Boyce at 604-278-1212 if they believe their bicycle was stolen and not yet reported to police.

As B.C. basked in hot weath-er last week,

headlines pro-claimed that the province is bravely forging ahead with its pioneering effort to combat global warming.

B.C. is among five provinces and U.S. states that have decid-ed to proceed with “cap and trade” restric-tions on greenhouse gas starting in 2012, officials of the Western Climate Initiative announced last week. This means big indus-trial emitters of carbon dioxide, which have escaped the carbon tax on their process emis-sions for the past three years, should soon have to pay for emis-

sion permits.The top five human

sources of carbon diox-ide in B.C. are Spectra Energy’s two natural gas plants in the Peace country, followed by Rio Tinto-Alcan’s aluminum smelter at Kitimat, and cement plants operated by Lehigh in Delta and Lafarge in Richmond. Those and other indus-trial sources pay B.C.’s carbon tax on gasoline and other fuels, just like the rest of us, but together their process emissions amount to about a third of B.C.’s total greenhouse gases. And for now at least they are free.

Now B.C., Ontario, Quebec, California and New Mexico have decided they will press on and impose a cap and trade system on their industries. This is despite the fact that national cap-and-trade legislation in the U.S. has been abandoned by Senate Democrats who have enough problems going into mid-term elections this fall.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, never a big fan of the theory that humans are caus-ing and can control global warming, has indicated that Canada has no choice but to follow the U.S. lead on climate policy. He’s right, and it’s refreshing

to hear a politician blurt out such an inconve-nient truth.

So now it seems clear that the U.S. federal government is leading us nowhere. Still B.C. and California say they are going to soldier on with their tagalong partners.

I put this idea to B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who also allows that he is skeptical about human-caused climate change. How can a gas plant or cement plant in B.C. take on the burden of an emission cap and paying for greenhouse gas credits when the same plant in Alberta doesn’t have to?

“I can only tell you what the minister of energy thinks, and I think that if going to cap-and-trade under those circumstances was going to create some obvious uncom-petitiveness between Alberta and B.C. or between B.C. and Ontario or whoever, I don’t think we should do it,” Bennett said.

He agrees with B.C. participating in the Western Climate Initiative, because if and when a price is imposed on industrial carbon emissions, the province would be prepared and ready to benefit as a clean energy leader.

Premier Gordon Campbell’s goal of a one-third cut in B.C.’s greenhouse gas emis-sions by 2020 was ambitious when it was announced three years ago. It looks downright dubious now that the political reality in the U.S. has changed. Barack Obama doesn’t brag about lowering the ocean levels any more. He’s more concerned with keeping his own head above water.

And Campbell’s cli-mate target, along with some other sweeping “great goals,” appear to be setting like the sun on the B.C. flag, along with his political fortunes.

Simon Fraser University resource economist Mark Jaccard put out a report last week estimating that B.C.’s rapidly growing natural gas industry will add 10 per cent more emissions, as carbon dioxide from shale gas is vented to the air. EnCana’s large new gas plant has been approved without requiring the still-exper-imental carbon capture and storage.

Reduce emissions? Good luck with that.

Free Wi-Fi now on B.C. Ferries runs to Swartz Bay

Passengers can now connect to free wire-less Internet on all B.C. Ferries sailing between Swartz Bay and Tsaw-wassen as well as at those terminals.

“Customers have requested Internet ac-cess and we are pleased to offer our passengers free Wi-Fi when they travel with us,” said Geoff Dickson, B.C. Fer-ries’ vice-president of catering and retail op-erations.

It’s a summer pilot project that B.C. Ferries hopes to make perma-nent and expand to in-clude the terminals and main routes from Horse-shoe Bay, Departure Bay and Duke Point.

B.C. program helps put under-utilized industrial land back to work

They’re big, brown and ugly and the province is pledging to give them new life.

Abandoned and der-elict commercial and industrial sites known as brownfields are often left vacant because of contamination, which must be dealt with before redevelopment.

Richmond-based Ahoy Industrial Corporation will get $40,000 for a preliminary environ-mental investigation of its industrial property under B.C.’s Brownfield Renewal Funding Program, Richmond East MLA Linda Reid announced Wednesday.

The firm, at 13451 Vulcan Way, previously

manufactured exhaust tubing for the truck-ing industry, but owner Robert Ahoy said he’s now preparing to sell the land as the cost of manufacturing became too high.

Last year, the brown-field program funded 17 projects worth over $1.6 million. Besides supporting the initial environmental work, applicants to the pro-

gram are eligible for up to $125,000 for further site remediation.

“It is important that we develop our land to better serve the com-munity’s economy, and through the Brownfield Renewal Program we are reinforcing Richmond as a major industry pro-ducer,” said Reid in a news release.

Richmond ‘brownfi eld’ to get new life

Richmond East MLA Linda Reid has announced fund-ing for a preliminary environmental investigation of a Vulcan ‘brownfi eld.’

Second graffi ti suspect nabbedRichmond RCMP have arrested the second sus-

pect wanted for writing racist graffiti at Empire Centre.

On Thursday at 3 p.m., the Richmond RCMP’s Bike Section located the second suspect at the Brighouse Canada Line Station and arrested him.

The 16-year-old male will face his first court appearance Aug. 25. A charge of mischief will be forwarded to Crown.

Police previously arrested an 18-year-old male in the case.


Youth are putting in some time on the farm

If you still believe that the youth of today can’t do an

honest day’s work, I urge you to come to the Sharing Farm on a weekday.

Not only are our two youth interns working the fields, we seem to have attracted a wonderful group of teens. I was at the farm last Friday and seeing them, I asked our intern what group was volunteering. The farm hosts a number of service groups over the sum-mer, from camps to scout groups.

“No group”, they replied, “these are all individual

volunteers who just showed up.”

I was in awe!We’ve been lamenting at

the farm for years on how to attract young people to come and help. Selling the farm to kids and seniors is easy. Both have an affinity to working with their hands and by providing raised beds and a few guides to supervise the work, the farm has been able to host countless children with the Terra Nova Schoolyard Society and seniors with Greenhouse Social Club.

But how to sell the farm to teens? Weeding and bend-ing over to harvest in the hot sun doesn’t really have cache with the Facebook crowd. Or so I thought.

How did we get them to the farm? I think much of it had to do with inviting them. We put a special call out for teens and it seems to have resonated with quite a few of them. Perhaps it is learning a new skill and being outside that attracts them. For others, it’s participating in a social justice activity that gives back to the community.

Whatever the reason, I’m truly grateful that the call was taken up.

To thank all of those youth who have volunteered with us (and to keep them com-ing back), the Sharing Farm is hosting a series of work-shops. With support from Coast Capital Savings, we are able to provide these workshops for free. The rest of us “non-youth” pay $5. Here’s a list of upcoming sessions:

•Aug. 18: Herbal Tinctures.•Sept. 1: Dry Rubs and

Cures for Meat.•Sept. 8: Making Vinegar

from Scratch.All the workshops run

from 5 to 7 p.m. and take

place at the Sharing Farm, 2631 Westminster Hwy. If you’d like more information or want to register, you can e-mail me at [email protected]

And, not to forget the children who love to come garden, the Sharing Farm is hosting a half-day summer camp. For the next three weeks in August, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to noon, children ages 7-11 will get to “be a farmer,” explore the park, taste vegetables they’ve helped grow, and play. Each week is $100 and proceeds go towards the Sharing Farm. Details are on the Sharing Farm’s website at www.richmondfruittree.com

So, if you’re looking for something to do for your kids (or even with them!), come by the farm. It’s grown into a hub for all things food-related and we are ever so happy that you’ve made it so.

Time has come for street food

The streets of New York are known for chestnuts, Philadelphia for cheesesteaks and Quebec for poutine.

Richmond’s public spaces are known for, well, not much of anything.

That’s because mobile food vendors must be continu-ally moving on city streets and property. Stops are only permitted to make a sale. That’s OK for Cal the Ice Cream Man but impossible for anyone pushing a hot dog cart or driving a mobile food truck selling fried seafood dumplings.

Vancouver already boasts plenty of vendors selling hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream and chestnuts, but its move to the 21st century by allowing gourmet food vendors onto city streets on a trial basis has revealed just how antiquated the City of Richmond’s business bylaw is.

Richmond is a fast growing city—modernizing as lots come available and are redeveloped—and an Olympic one at that. A changing City Centre is making the streets more friendly for pedestrians. The Canada Line is encouraging walking, as are plazas, parks and green-ways that are popping up around the city.

It’s time the city examines its stuffy bylaw for mobile vendors to add another link to this chain. Mobile food vendors have the potential to give the city something unique by adding to its cultural life and offering anoth-er attraction to those on foot. It could even be a way for our city to showcase locally-grown products.

Imagine corn-on-the-cob at Garry Point, noodles at Richmond-Brighouse Station, kebabs on the Richmond Olympic Oval plaza or even blueberry juice outside city hall.

Certainly, carte blanche can’t be granted to mobile food vendors. Established restaurants and eateries have much invested in their locations and anyone who knows Richmond streets knows the importance of smooth flowing traffic—both vehicle and pedestrian. Strict health regulations should also be met by any would-be vendor.

But certainly Richmond has room for street vendors. Any bylaw made decades ago is worth re-examining in a growing city. In this case, that review is long overdue.

Editor: Canada is a blessed

country. It is one of the best, if not the best, country in the world. At times, Canadians become overly critical about our own country.

In this process we tend to focus more on the negatives rather than the positives this nation of 34 million people has to offer.

Certainly, like any other country in the world we do have prob-lems too. Always there is room for improvement especially when govern-ments are concerned. However, in the over-all scheme of things, Canada is far better than many other coun-tries. We have a very high standard of living.

Canadians are ahead of many other countries so far as environment and sustainability are concerned. Our land-scape-the lakes, rivers, mountains and lush green vegetation are envy of many. Canada has an abundance of resources of every kind. It is a democratic and

relatively safe country. Our educational system, banking/financial indus-try and health care are second to none.

Canadians are very well respected world-wide for their caring attitude, gentle manners and humility. Our con-cept of multiculturalism is a great model for oth-ers to follow. More than 200 diverse communi-ties representing every corner of the world call Canada their home. On top of that, right here in Richmond we have our very own Highway to Heaven. More than 20 places of worship representing a variety of faiths adorn our No. 5 Road, which has become a major tourist attraction for young and old alike.

In order to take advantage of this local attraction, Richmond Multicultural Concerns Society organized a guided tour of three of the places of worship on July 28 along our Highway to Heaven. It was part of the society’s Inter-Faith Bridging Project. More than

200 participants from diverse backgrounds took part in the tour.

The tour commenced at India Cultural Centre of Canada, home of Gurdwara Nanak Niwas. Thanks to the Gurdwara management, the par-ticipants were treated to a delicious complimen-tary Indo-Canadian veg-etarian meal. This was followed by a tour of the facility and talk about Sikhism.

From there, the group moved to the Az-Zahraa Islamic Centre next door. Organizers at the Islamic Centre did an excel-lent job in providing an insight into Islam. The dedicated volunteers ensured that all of the participants felt wel-comed and at ease in this spacious facility.

From there, the par-ticipants moved to the Vedic Cultural Centre a few metres down the road. There again, the organizers and volun-teers spared no effort in making everyone feel welcomed and com-fortable. As an added bonus, the group was

treated to words of wisdom by Jai Bhagwan Sharma (Swami Chakradhariji) founder acharya of Vedic Cultural Community Centre.

Initiatives like these go along way in remov-ing the artificial barriers and bringing people closer together. They show us that despite our individual differenc-es and beliefs we can respect and appreciate each other. This is what makes Canada such a beautiful, inclusive and welcoming place to live in.

Editor:Re: “Development improves

city,” Letters, Saturday.Ms. Louie is becoming more

happy and proud to live in Richmond as she sees more homes torn down and replaced by monster houses, townhouses and high-ris-es. She even uses the derogatory expression “tear downs.”

Actually, probably most of the houses being replaced are only being sold because of pressure and a good enough price, not because they need to be torn down. I think it’s very sad to see so much still useful housing falling to the wrecking ball.

Indeed, property values are being increased. It is mainly because of immigrants with money moving in. People who grew up here can’t afford to live here. The result is that the people who work to serve us here and the children

of the people who live here can-not afford to live here, unless they live with their parents. That is not something that every culture finds desirable.

I don’t think that the people that are being forced to move to the suburbs and even other provinces where the prices are lower are benefiting or feeling proud about Richmond. They would probably like to live here, where they grew up, where the climate is more desirable, but can’t afford to.

I do not at all agree that this makes the city and subdivisions look better. It upsets me greatly to see all the wonderful trees and vegetation being torn down. Do these builders and developers not know that grass, flowers, shrubs and especially trees purify our air, moisturize it and cool our atmo-sphere? They replace wonderful shade trees with trees that they

continue to terribly amputate the limbs of so that they don’t grow big enough to drop too many leaves in the fall to mess up those lovely paved courtyards, and don’t provide shade during the warm days of summer. They would rather not deal with any liv-ing growth, but just pave or stone their front yards, create more heat, incorporate more air conditioning and blow more heat into the atmo-sphere.

All of this growth is not improv-ing the quality of this island or making this the best place in the world to live at all. Soon, our valu-able green space and farmland will be replaced by these develop-ments and then we will have to pay even more to ship food from even farther while the air gets dirtier and hotter. What a shame.

Lorne BrandtRichmond

Tearing down trees and houses does not make the city look better

Beware of no stopping trap at public market Editor:

I received a debt notice of $80 from Imperial Parking for contravention of the posted parking instructions. The location is the driveway between the back (south side) of Richmond Public Market and the adjacent small park.

I did not receive any notice at the spot but upon my subsequent request received a picture showing I was at the driver seat (waiting to pick up my wife after her shopping at the public market). The sign at the loca-tion clearly indicates “No Parking” but no wording stating “no stopping or no waiting.” My understand-ing of the general rules under traffi c regulations, driv-ers can stop and wait to load or unload passengers at the “No Parking” zone. I disputed the “fi ne,” but the decision was fi nal.

Richmond Public Market is a very popular and busy spot in our community. The parking lot is always full at busy hours. The driveway in question is an ideal location for loading and unloading shoppers so as to easy the traffi c jam at the multi-storey parking lot.

If Impark does not allow stopping at that location, it should clearly indicate with proper sign and wording rather than the misleading simple sign of “No Park-ing” to trap drivers. I believe most drivers would fall into this trap and be exploited.

Speare Lee Richmond

The moral of the storyEditor:

Re: “Interfaith discussion should include atheists,” Letters, July 29.

For a man who vehemently denies the existence of a transcendent moral lawgiver, Dale Jackaman seems to have some very strong opinion about “good and bad.”

lettersWe need to watch our muchnessEditor:

Re: “Reducing trash a good first step,” Editorial, July 24.

The amount of junk mail/advertising that is delivered to all of our homes each week, or even each day, produces a mountain of paper!

Not only does this clutter up our bins, but think of all of the trees and the amount of lumber used that spells waste in the name of free enterprise.

Some churches and other public places need to watch their use of plastic cutlery, cups and dishes. Fast food outlets give away wads of paper nap-kins that are often unused and then left behind for garbage.

So much of our packaging could also be reduced—from groceries, to toilettes, to almost anything one purchases.

We need to watch our muchness and our many-ness which can clutter up our lives and our envi-ronment.

Pentatonics make traditional music upbeat using classical Eastern instruments


A band making music that might be heard on a video game soundtrack might not stop

traffi c. But the Pentatonics are hardly pedestrian.

With a troop of eight young instrumen-talists—most born in Hong Kong—the Pentatonics use tools of ancient origin to blast traditional Chinese music into the modern age.

Their music-making weapons include the guzheng (sort of like a table-top zither simi-lar to the Japanese koto), dizi (flute), pipa (plucked four-string instrument similar to

the lute), erhu (two-stringed instrument played with a bow), ruan (plucked four-string instru-ment), piano and drums, allowing the two-year-old group to lay claim to being one of the few Chinese instru-mental bands on the continent.

Among the players is the

erhu-wielding Kenny Chu, whose two-stringed bowed instrument is also known as a Chinese violin. Born in Hong Kong, Chu learned to play the violin at age six, but his mom signed him up to play the erhu once she discovered the Chinese orchestra in his son’s school had openings. When Chu left for Canada with his family, he joined the B.C. Chinese Orchestra. It’s still a group he plays with, along with his duties of teaching erhu to others.

Michelle Kwan, 22, plays the guzheng, also known as the Chinese harp. Vancouver-born Kwan counts herself among the rare Canadian-born Chinese instrumentalists. She started learning the guzheng as an 11-year-old, but as a teenager, she turned her focus to piano. After years of leaving the guzheng untouched, she decided to rededi-cate herself to the instrument.

Ada Chu, Anson Zhang, Charlie Lui, Charmaine Chan, Jacqueline Ho, Kathy Pan and Samson Lee are also in the band.

The Richmond Review caught up with Kwan before the Pentatonics’ lucky Sunday show—Aug. 8 at 8 p.m.

Who does the Pentatonics’ music appeal to?“We target mostly the younger genera-

tion but our performances have been well received by people of all ages. A lot of peo-ple have the impression that Chinese instru-ments are only played by old people and traditional Chinese music may be boring to listen to. So we want to show people that this is not what it’s all about. We do this by performing in a different way comparing to traditional music in terms of stage appear-ance and music selection. For example, all of the instruments are played sitting down but we used keyboard stands for yangqin (dulcimer) and guzheng (zither) to allow the musicians to have more movements while performing on stage.”

How does pop music sound when played with traditional instruments?

“There still are some Chinese music ele-

ments when we play different types of music with traditional instruments. It’s because of the instruments’ tone and sound and this is what makes us unique.”

Many of your group’s members originate from Hong Kong, but you haven’t switched to Western-style instruments. Why are you keeping the sounds of these instruments alive here?

“Learning Chinese instruments is not as popular as learning Western instruments in our society. Even many Chinese parents

would make their children learn Western instruments such as piano and violin rather than traditional Chinese instruments. This is why one of our main goals is to inspire people to play Chinese instruments.”

How challenging is it to play these instru-ments?

“Some of us also play Western instruments and we can say that playing traditional Chinese instruments is just as challenging. Learning any instrument and mastering it is difficult and it definitely takes a lot of hard work. Many of our members have been play-ing their instrument for over 10 years and are trained by professional musicians from China. All of us have been winners of our instrument’s category in local competitions.”

What’s next for the group?“We hope to work with different composers

to develop more songs and we’d also like to perform with different bands. We’d also like to travel around and perform to show people from different places how cool Chinese instruments and music can be. We’re work-ing on having our own concert and recording some songs in the long run too.”

Group makes Chinese music ‘cool’

With a troop of eight young instrumentalists—most born in Hong Kong—the Pentatonics use tools of ancient origin to blast traditional Chi-nese music into the modern age.

“A lot of people have the impression that Chinese instruments are only played by old people and traditional Chinese music may be boring to listen to. So we want to show people that this is not what it’s all about.” —Michelle Kwan

Gaye Delorme plays Britannia Heritage Shipyard Friday.

Sight hasn’t affected guitarist’s visionAlberta-based Gaye Delorme to play blues and Spanish tunes at outdoor show


Like star hockey players, true musi-cians don’t quit even if their bodies try to.

A surgery several years ago took away Gaye Delorme’s vision in one eye, while diabetes reduced his eyesight in the other, leaving him legally blind.

But the true vision of the guitarist and singer-songwriter hasn’t faltered.

He’s writing songs for another CD—his seventh—which he hopes to start recording this fall.

“I’m really wanting to get in the studio and get going on the new CD,” says Delorme, 63, who plays Richmond Friday. “It will have lots of horns and a bit of rhythm and blues.”

Delorme grew up in Edmonton and got started in music in the ’60s, teaching himself the art of the guitar as a teenager in a boys’ home.

It wasn’t until three decades into a performing career that he learned to read music, according to one biography.

Steveston Museum showcases new art and old crafts

Emerging artists inspired by dreams, opinions and mind-scapes as well as the work of traditional crafts people demon-strating hundreds of years of artisan knowledge is on show in the Steveston Museum park on Saturday, Aug. 7 starting at 11 a.m.

“We are excited to be able to show the work of three emerg-ing artists from the region,” says Gabrielle Sharp, Steveston Museum’s co-ordinator, “and two of the artists, Emily Chou and Jory Wong, plan on doing a performance art piece together to demonstrate how they create a work. This will contrast with the centuries old techniques being displayed by craft groups from across Richmond.”

The crafts on display include weaving, spinning, quilting, carving and jewellery making. Local folk groups, Dandelion Wine and Ratz Café Band, will be providing music from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Bring a picnic lunch to share and a blanket to sit upon and enjoy a few hours of exceptional entertainment weather permitting.

There is a serious side to this Saturday’s music series as well. Gabrielle explains, “as well as giving exposure to new artists, these craft groups create gorgeous pieces that draw on historic traditions. But many of these craft groups need more members

to join in order to survive. Richmond’s creativity and history would be much poorer if we lost these groups.”

This is the perfect opportunity for people to come and enjoy great music, talk to young artists and skilled craftspeople and perhaps buy work from an emerging artist or discover a fasci-nating new hobby.

Sarah Singh travelled solo across one of the world’s most volatile regions, documenting its cul-ture, history and politics.

On Thursday, Aug. 19, the New York filmmaker will present her award-winning film The Sky Below in council chambers at Richmond City Hall.

The film is a contemporary exploration of the creation of Pakistan and the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent. It weaves together 5,000 years of culture while investigating the lingering after-effects of this six-decade-old political divide.

With interviews of more than 75 people, record-

ings of regional music and visits to some of the world’s most important archaeological and histori-cal sites, The Sky Below provides a glimpse into the complexity of this region that continues to rise as an economic powerhouse within an uncertain political environment.

The Aug. 19 event will begin with a screening of the 75-minute film, followed by a question-and-answer session with Singh.

It begins at 7 p.m. Admission is free; reserve seats by e-mailing [email protected] or call 604-276-4304.

Pianist still exploring boundaries of Brazilian pop

Legendary Brazilian pianist Sergio Mendes plays River Rock Show Theatre Saturday, Aug. 7 at 8 p.m.

His music career began in 1960, playing the club circuit in Rio de Janeiro. It wasn’t long until Mendes

and his group Brasil ‘66 became household names.

Hit singles include “Mas Que Nada,” “Fool on the Hill,” “Scarborough Fair,” and “Never Gonna Let You Go.”

Through several years of name changes (Brasil ’77, Brasil ’86 and Brasil ’88), he has never stopped exploring the boundaries of Brazilian pop.

Tickets, $54.50 to $64.50, at ticketmaster.ca or 604-280-4444.

Richmond Public Library will hold an offi-cial launch of its new Filipiniana collection at the main Brighouse branch on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

“The Filipino Scotiabankers of Metro Vancouver approached the library and proposed a campaign to establish a Filipiniana collection,” said Wendy Jang, the library’s co-ordinator of multilingual services.

“Their idea was to solic-it donations to Richmond Public Library directly from the community, and whatever funds they raised would be matched by the Scotiabank.”

So far, $12,200 has been raised and the pro-ceeds have gone towards the purchase of 645 Filipino books, DVDs and music CDs in Tagalog, as well as books in English about Filipino culture and history, and books

in English by Filipino authors.

There are books for adults as well as children and the collection now has 1,171 items for bor-rowing.

The formal ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend and light refresh-ments will be served.

Following the ceremony there will be activities to promote the understand-ing of Filipino history and

culture, including:•Philippine History 101;•Tinikling dance (bam-

boo dance);•Tagalog storytelling for

children;•comics exhibit tracing

the progress of Philippine comics;

•Sungka tournament (a traditional Filipino game using shells or rocks and a piece of wood with carved out bowls that promotes analytical thinking);

•Filipiniana costume exhibit;

•prints from the War and Dissent Exhibit from the Presidio of San Francisco;

•Village of the Balangay exhibit.

“We’re just thrilled with the response to this cam-paign and it’s great to have the new Filipiniana collection. There’s definitely a heightened awareness of the library by the local Filipino com-munity, and we hope that people will learn more about Filipino culture and history as a result of this collection,” added Jang.

For more information, call Wendy Jang at 604-231-6419.

I’m not surprised that it took Scott Turow 23 years

to write the sequel to his bestselling first novel, Pre-sumed Innocent, because his newest one, Innocent, is a complex stunner.

And well worth the wait. For those of you who read Presumed Innocent you’ll remem-ber that lawyer Rusty Sabich was on trial for murdering his lover, but he’s acquitted. There are plenty of people who think he got away with murder, though.

In this newest legal thriller, Innocent, Rusty is now the chief judge of an appellate

court and once again on trial, this time for supposedly murder-ing his wife Barbara. He’s also running as a candidate for the Supreme Court. The fact that Rusty has been indicted for mur-der a second time, and by the same prosecu-tor no less – Tommy Molto – sets the story up to be a sizzling courtroom drama you won’t soon forget.

Sabich, now approaching 60 years of age, finds his wife Barbara dead in their bed under circumstances that are less than natural. Add to this Barbara’s longstanding history of bipolar disorder and Rusty’s affair with a much younger woman and you get a psychological legal thriller that will knock your socks off. The courtroom scenes are packed full of tension and the old rivalry between Rusty and Tommy is as explosive as ever.

The collateral dam-age in all this is Nat, Rusty and Barbara’s

grown up but emotion-ally fragile son, who has now essentially lost both parents, in different ways. Nat says: “When a parent dies…when you lose your mother or father, life is fundamentally different. One of the poles, north or south, has been wiped off the globe and will never rematerialize.”

Aside from the sus-penseful twists and turns of the plot, and the finely drawn characters, readers are treated to exqui-site writing. Turow’s descriptions of Rusty and Anna’s love affair are nothing short of heart-melting, when they’re not sizzling, that is. In another context he describes beautifully how Rusty’s son’s girlfriend feels:

“When you love someone, he is your life. The first prin-ciple of existence. And because of that, he has the power to change you and every-thing you know. It is like suddenly turning a map over so that

south is at the top. It’s still correct, still able to get you to anyplace you want to go. But it could not seem more different.”

Innocent keeps the reader on their toes right from page one on through to the final page. And just when you think you know who did it and why, you get thrown the proverbial curveball. It’s not until the very end that it all comes together. And even then, you might have doubts. In case you can’t tell, I adored this book. It’s sharp, intelligent, riveting and definitely one of the best legal thrillers around. Don’t think twice – just get in here and borrow the book!

Summer Carnival for readers

Celebrate another suc-cessful Summer Reading Club at Richmond Public Library.

Enjoy games like ring toss, bowling, face paint-ing, hockey, fishing, bean bag toss, Frisbee toss, crafts and more at the free Summer Carnival on Aug. 14 at the main Brighouse branch (7700 Minoru Gate).

Kids of all ages are welcome to attend and can enter their name to win prizes! The Summer Carnival takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the performance hall.

“This year we’re hav-ing our first ever ‘Puppet Idol’ where kids can choose a song and a puppet and perform at the carnival. Prizes will be awarded to all partici-pants, and grand prizes will be presented to the audience favorites,” said head of kids’ place, Virginia McCreedy.

Kids age 8-12 who want to perform in “Puppet Idol” can register by completing a form found at all Richmond Public Library branches, by Aug. 8. “Puppet Idol” will take place at 1:30 p.m.

“The province-wide Summer Reading Club is in its 20th year and still going strong. Kids love to discover new books and get fun stick-ers for their booklets,” added McCreedy. “And who doesn’t like to get a medal just for enjoying books?”

This year more than 5,000 kids registered to join the Summer Reading Club at Richmond Public Library. Balloons for the carnival are sponsored by CUPE 3966, and there will be door prizes for kids as well as adults.

Evan Dunfee is the Canadian men’s race walk champion for 2010.

A Richmond resident, University of B.C. student and member of the Richmond Kajaks, Dunfee won the national title last weekend in Toron-to. He completed the 20,000-metre course in 1:25.57—an improvement of one minute, 40 seconds over his previous best to make the Cana-dian standard by four seconds and qualify for the 2010 Commonwealth Games Oct. 3-14 in Delhi, India.

Former Kajak and Olympian Diane Cummins, who is currently not af-fi liated with any track club, won the women’s 800 metres in 2:02.06.

•At the World Junior Track and Field Championships last week in Moncton, N.B., Kajak Katie Reid was fi fth in the women’s 400 metres in 53.80 seconds. She set a meet re-

cord of 53.47 seconds in winning the Canadian junior championship last month.

Joanna Franke fi nished 14th in the women’s hammer with a throw of 49.37 at the world juniors. At last month’s Canadian junior champi-onships, Franke won with a throw of 52.10 metres. Also at the junior nationals, Richmond’s Shai-Anne Davis won the women’s 100 metres in 12.04 seconds and was third in the 200 metres in 24.25 seconds.

•Kajak athletes also stood tall at last week’s Canadian Masters Track and Field Championships in Toronto. 400m Mark Pinckard won the men’s 400 metres in 58 seconds fl at, took second in the 1500 metres in 4:45, and was third in the 800 metres with a club record and personal best 2:11.55.

Emma Kallner has always been an active kid.

At the tender age of two her parents snapped a photo of her dunking a basketball. By her fourth birthday, she was showing even more of her natural athletic talent on the soccer fi eld.

After helping Team B.C. to a second-place fi nish at the recent BMO national Nutrilite All-Stars under-14 girls’ championship, Kallner, who captained the B.C. under-13 team last year, is even more determined to one day play for Canada’s national team.

“I think I’m a lot more fi t than two seasons ago and my con-fi dence has been raised a lot more,” says the energetic Rich-mond teen. “I realize I can take the ball down the fi eld more often and I feel my shot has improved and I’ve become a better team-mate. But there are a lot of good players in Canada and it’s going to be a lot of hard work to make the national level.”

Kallner has never feared hard work. And she need only to look at her role model and soccer idol Sari Raber for inspiration.

Also a Richmond resident, Raber parlayed her promise as a local youth player into a college scholarship at the University of Nebraska where she was a star on the fi eld and in the classroom. She played the last three sum-mers for the Ottawa Fury of the W-League and has spent the past six months with the Canadian

national team. But beginning next month, soccer will take a back seat to education after she was accepted into the University of B.C. Faculty of Medicine.

Raber will continue to coach though, returning to help out with Delta’s under-15 girls’ squad,0 which this year will also feature midfi elder Kallner. Raber coached Kallner when she fi rst began play-ing organized soccer in Richmond and remembers having to fi nd new tricks “to keep her still for fi ve minutes” when she was little.

“She’s a fantastic kid and a great soccer player,” says Raber. “The biggest thing for Emma, and a lot of players that stay in the game and fi nd success, is to have fun. It makes it way easier to take the downs as well as enjoy the ups.”

Kallner, who also played last winter at the national training centre, sees in Raber the play-er—and person—she wants to become.

“Sari has known me my whole life and our families are close friends,” she explains. “Sari is always the hardest worker at everything she does and it’s prob-ably her personality that I admire most. She can take anything and turn into a positive. And she’s always there for you.”

Kallner and Raber have both volunteered for Soccer Without Borders since last year. The goal of the non-profi t organization based in San Francisco is to use soccer to create positive change in the lives of disadvantaged youth throughout the world.

A University of B.C. gradu-ate, athlete and coach, Ross has 10 years of coaching experience—from high performance club volleyball through to the Canadan national team program. Her background will serve the centre’s vision of full inte-gration of long term athlete development.

Having played (1996-2002) and coached (2009) with Team Canada, her under-standing of high perfor-

mance and the commitment necessary to achieve suc-cess at all levels will ensure each athlete reaches their potential. The centre’s focus on athlete and coach devel-opment will be served not only by Ross’ expertise but supported by national and international coaches and athletes, as well as sport services through special-ized programs and coaching education.

While playing at UBC, Ross was named Academic All-Canadian as well as female athlete of the year. As a role model for all athletes, her passion for the sport has

transferred into coaching and the development of athletes.

“I had the opportunity to sit on the LTAD Committee to represent the athletes’ view on how to integrate long term athlete development into the Canadian volleyball system,” said Ross. “Sit-ting on the committee with Canada’s fi nest national and international coaches was an incredible experience and we examined what Canada needs to do to be success-ful internationally. I am so excited at the opportunity to develop that program at the Centre of Excellence at the

Richmond Olympic Oval.”Volleyball BC is a partner

in the Volleyball Centre. Executive director Tom Cav-erly said he “is excited to be able to work with quality individuals such as Joanne Ross who are a tremendous resource to the volleyball community in B.C.”

Ross will join the Rich-mond Olympic Oval team in September.

For volleyball athletes who want to take their game to

the next level, the Volleyball Centre of Excellence will, offer programs for athletes aged six to 18. The daytime program will provide high performance training for those athletes

to reach the next level in volleyball while balancing their commit-ments to high school and club teams, along with their academic calendar.

Enrichment pro-grams will focus on both introduc-tory sport devel-opment through

to high performance.

When elite athletes want to take their career to the next level many turn to Mark Verstegen and Athletes’ Perfor-mance.

Major League Baseball MVP Justin Morneau, Germany’s World Cup third-place soccer team and this year’s fi rst over-all NFL draft pick Sam Bradford are among the hundreds of world-class athletes and coaches who have benefi ted from Verstegen’s high perfor-

mance training, nutrition and recovery systems. From Aug. 9 to 13, local coaches and trainers can try out the internation-ally-acclaimed Athletes’ Performance Mentorship Program at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

As the founder and president of Athletes’ Performance, Verste-gen said he is honoured and excited to bring the mentorship program to a world-class facility such as the Richmond Olym-

pic Oval, home to many of the world’s best ath-letes and performances during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

“We take great pride in teaching the systems that have supported top athletes around the world,” said Verstegen.

“We look forward to sharing those systems with strength and con-ditioning coaches, per-sonal trainers and those looking to improve the performance of others

through integrated and ethical training.”

The Athletes’ Perfor-mance Mentorship Pro-gram teaches integrated training systems for coaches and trainers to take their performance to a higher level. Normally taught at Athletes’ Per-formance facilities in Ari-zona, California, Florida and Texas, the program is being offered for the fi rst time in Canada. The fi ve-day education immersion presents the training sys-

tems that support many of the world’s elite and professional athletes. Through a combination of theoretical and applied sessions, each partici-pant will experience the complete systems of Ath-letes’ Performance with an emphasis on mindset, nutrition, movement and recovery.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

7 OBITUARIES

.

BUCH, Veronica

Our much loved Mom, Grand-ma & Great-Grandma, Veroni-ca passed away on July 28, 2010 at the age of 92. Veroni-ca was born in the village of Borowa, Poland and arrived in Richmond in 1939 to marry Jo-seph Buch. Together they farmed for over 20 years rais-ing chickens and dairy cows; grew strawberries, raspber-ries, and potatoes which they sold at their roadside stand on No. 3 Road. Veronica had a full life, being very active in the Polish community in Vancou-ver where she spent many years acting as Secre-tary/Treasurer for the associa-tion. Veronica loved to cook, and began her catering busi-ness in 1963 which continued for 20 years. She catered for countless weddings and ban-quets. Family and friends would rarely leave her home without a dish of cabbage rolls or perogies. She also loved to attend the dances held at the Polish Hall on Saturday nights and seldom missed one.Veronica did beautiful needle-point, petit point, cross stitch and hardanger which won her several fi rst prize awards at the PNE. She made countless treasured pieces for family and friends and just about every-one who knew her has a hand-made knitted afghan. She had a true love of gardening and always took any opportunity to be out in the garden admiring her fl owers. She never missed her weekly Bingo games in Richmond and spent many non-stop hours playing cards with her friends. Veronica al-ways put her family’s needs ahead of her own while endur-ing the loss of two of her chil-dren. Her husband Joseph died in 1982, her son Edward died in 1984 and her oldest daughter Helen died in 2008. Veronica was the cornerstone of her family and has left an enormous gap that will never be fi lled. She was everyone’s ‘Grandma’. Missing her al-ready is her daughter Irene, grandchildren Dan, Dean, Cherece (Rene), Brandon (Mary), Chad (Colleen), son-in-law Don, great-grandchil-dren Landyn, Summer, Pierse, Hannah, Sofi a, Kyle & her be-loved dog Pico. At Veronica’s request the family will hold a private memorial service.
