According to a male witness, whowished to remain unnamed, Sandhu, 56,

was killed while standing next to his blackpick-up truck by a man with an averagebuild, light brown skin and some facialhair, wearing a hoodie and sunglasses.

The Integrated Homicide InvestigationTeam (IHIT) told media Monday thatthey’re looking for a male in his early tomid 20s, approximately six-feet tall, ofslim/slender build, who was wearing agrey or light grey coloured hoodie or coat,medium to dark coloured pants and pos-sibly wearing a baseball cap.

The male witness told the RichmondNews on Sunday that he, his wife andyoung child were parked three spacesover in the parking lot in front of TimHortons.

The suspect pulled out a gun with asilencer attachment and shot at Sandhu.The witness said he heard at least sixshots that sounded like a paintball gun.

According to the witness, Sandhumay have been in the coffee shop withanother person, described as a friend.The Vancouver Sun also reported Sandhuwas with a “friend,” at the time, just afterperforming some charity work in Down-town Vancouver.

However, when Sandhu was shot, thewitness said he didn’t see the friendmake an effort to help him, even after theshooter took off in a waiting truck.

Awoman needed emergency facial surgeryafter being mauled by her friend’s pit-bull

terrier on Sunday evening.Shortly before 6:30 p.m., Richmond Mount-

ies responded to a 9-1-1 call about a womanwho had been attacked by a dog at a homein the 10,000 block of Dennis Crescent, nearSteveston Highway and No. 4 Road.

According to police, the officers wereunable to enter the home until the owner con-fined the dog to a kennel and muzzled it.

The dog was apparently at a “heightenedstate of aggression with boisterous barkingand wild movements heard through the door

to the residence,” police said.After gaining entry, the officers discovered

a bloodied victim — a 54 year-old woman —who had suffered bites to her face. She wastaken to hospital with non-life threateninginjuries, but required surgery.

Police were told that the dog, a 65-pound,male pit-bull terrier, became unexpectedlyaggressive towards the victim before maulingher face. The victim was visiting friends, whoown the dog.

The dog was then apprehended by City ofRichmond bylaw officers pending an investi-gation. It’s now being held in isolation at theRichmond Animal Protection Society’s shelteron No. 5 Road.

“Animal calls are one of the most danger-ous calls our officers can encounter,” saidRichmond RCMP’s media spokesperson Cpl.

Dennis Hwang.“Knowing ahead of time that a dog has

attacked another human being brings certaintrepidation to the equation, especially whenthe body’s natural response is to travel awayfrom danger.

“The temperament of this dog was, withoutexaggeration, off the charts. All of our officerswere extremely cautious and the harm poten-tial was exceedingly high. We were absolutelyprepared for the worst.”

Hwang said it “took an inordinate amountof patience from our officers and (the bylawofficers). We were particularly impressed withthe professionalism of the bylaw officer.

“They tried to calm the dog down many,many times, during the delicate time oftransferring the dog to a holding facility. Thetransfer from the city’s vehicle to the hold-

ing facility’s entrance covered fewer than 50metres, but took over an hour to complete.”

The officers, added Hwang, went to greatlengths to avoid agitating the dog further.

“On another note, one of the RichmondRCMP officers who responded to this call wasalso involved in a previous animal attack call,from December 30, 2015,” he said.

“This officer played a large role in rescuingtwin sisters and their nephew from a horrify-ing dog attack. It illustrates that, from an of-ficer’s perspective, each contact, each call, isunique… We continually assess and analyzeevery situation.”

City spokesperson Ted Townsend con-firmed the dog is now in the custody of thecity and an investigation is underway.

The dog’s fate, said Townsend, will dependon the outcome of the investigation.

Management at McArthurGlen designeroutlet mall went ahead with an evacuation

on Sunday, despite being told by police therewas nothing to fear.

More than 2,000 customers and staff at theoutdoor mall near Vancouver Airport pouredout of the shopping centre around 4:30 p.m.after the mall received an “unspecified threat”by phone.

Moments before the evacuation, which someshoppers described as “frantic,” RichmondRCMP attended McArthurGlen and quickly as-certained that the threat — which referencedan explosive device — was “unfounded.”

“We got a call from an employee at the mallabout an unspecified threat,” said RichmondRCMP’s media spokesperson Cpl. DennisHwang.

“Police determined that the threat wasunfounded, however the mall still decided to

evacuate.” Callers to CKNW radio reportedthat people were running from the mall and afrantic security guard was telling them not toask questions.

One shopper said, at first, everything wascalm after security guards asked everyone inthe stores and plaza to leave.

However, no reason was being given for theevacuation and, once people started headingfor the mall exits to the parking lot, the situ-ation apparently deteriorated with shoppersrunning to their cars not knowing what wasgoing on.

The Richmond News asked McArthurGlen’smanagement why the decision was taken toevacuate, despite police giving the all-clear.

A mall spokesperson said that, “In incidentsof this nature, McArthurGlen’s policy is to ad-here to the strictest safety guidelines for theirpatrons, which in this case, involved a centreevacuation.”

A subsequent search of the mall was carriedout by security staff and the all-clear was latergiven.

mer payroll administratorMarilou Ilao, the Bank ofMontreal, ADP Canada Co.and auditor KPMG Inc.,claiming Ilao defrauded theemployee-owned companyof more than $1.2 millionbetween 2003 and 2014.

Richmond Plywood(Richply) filed a notice ofcivil claim in BC SupremeCourt on May 20. Thecompany claims the fraudwas discovered in May2014 when an employeerequested a record ofemployment before a sick

leave.“As a result of the em-

ployee’s request, it was dis-covered that Ilao requesteda cheque for the employeeduring his sickness leaveyet the employee did notreceive the cheque,” theclaim states. “This discov-ery triggered an internalinvestigation and audit atRichply which revealedpayroll cheques payable toother Richply employeeswho had not worked duringthe prescribed pay period.”

On May 27, 2014, Ilaoallegedly admitted todefrauding the firm of

$35,000 starting in 2013and agreed to resign andpay the money back.But the company laterdiscovered that Ilao hadrequested cheques fromADP fraudulently for nineyears totalling $1,242,089,the claim states.

Richmond Plywood seeksdamages for fraud, breachof contract, unjust enrich-ment and conversion.

The defendants had notfiled responses to the claimby press time and none ofthe allegations have beenproven or tested in court.

The decade-long saga that is the LingyenMountain Temple expansion is nearing

an end after Richmond city council unani-mously approved a scaled down version ofthe proposal.

The proposal, passed at a May 23 meet-ing, is now set for a public hearing June20, however it is expected to pass the finalhurdle at Richmond City Hall given manyof its staunchest critics — including Coun.Carol Day — are now on board.

“They finally got it right,” said Day, who,before her time on council, spent yearsrailing against the project with the neighbour-hood citizens’ group CALMR (CommitteeAgainst Lingyen Mountain Retreat).

DA Architects and Planners is beingcredited by Day for smoothing over relationswith the upset Shellmont-area residents andthose concerned about a past expansionproposal that would have seen agriculturalland destroyed.

The new proposal will not encroach onfarmland (the No. 5 Road Backlands). Also,it will be lower in height and will incorporatefewer parking spaces, many of which willbe under the expanded temple, adjacent tothe existing Buddhist monastery, just northof Steveston Highway along the “Highway to

Heaven.”“We listened to what the public had said

and we realized the temple was being veryambitious . . . It became clear that the neigh-bours weren’t against a temple, they wereagainst a big temple,” said lead architectRandy Knill.

The City of Richmond, which rejected a pri-or proposal by James K.M. Cheng ArchitectsInc. in April 2014, noted many “significantproject revisions” had been made, in its cur-rent report to council.

The new proposal is 53 per cent smaller infloor area (now only 8,798 square metres),so it complies with the “Backlands Policy” offarming along the back two-thirds of proper-ties along No. 5 Road. The facility will usetraditional Buddhist architecture and com-prise of 10 buildings and a grand courtyard.

Instead of a finished grade height of 32metres, the new Main Buddha Hall will nowonly be 27.5 metres, which will still make itthe tallest religious institution on No. 5 Road(nearby Thrangu Monastery is 21.5 metres).Knill noted it is even taller than it needs to bebecause much of the parking will be beneaththe new temple buildings.

Furthermore, Knill cut 15 per cent of theparking spaces, from a proposed 456 to 385.

“Hiding the cars under the temple is a bril-liant idea; it’s really creative,” said Day, who,along with other CALMR members, engagedwith the architects in a public consultation

meeting last June.“At the end of the meeting, they all re-

laxed and they were smiling. It went from apotentially contentious meeting to a positivemeeting,” said Day.

The new proposal is expected to housejust 60 resident nuns and up to 70 retreatparticipants, down from 147 nuns and 152participants. Retreats are intended for mem-bers of the public to study and meditate for2-10 days.

As for farming the land, the temple willprovide a bond of $186,000 to the city toensure a farming strategy is carried out. The

strategy involves fruit tree retention, a nativetree nursery and three or four acres of berryproduction.

The city maintains it is working with thetemple to develop a traffic plan, for whenlarge events do take place. The largest suchevent is Buddha’s Birthday, when upwardsof 600 cars come to the temple. The city hasasked the temple to pay $50,000 towards anupgraded bus shelter.

The site will lose 13 trees but have 94new ones planted along the edges of thebuildings. LEED Gold standards are beingproposed by Knill’s team.

“He (the friend) walkedaround the parking lot,then reached into thetruck and grabbed somepapers...,” said the wit-ness, who added that thevictim’s friend was spottedtalking to police shortlyafterwards.

Sandhu lay on theground bleeding for “about10 minutes” before policeand paramedics arrived,said the witness. Perhapsfearing a second round ofgunfire, the witness said noone approached his bodyin the intervening mo-ments, although he said heheard one woman say hewasn’t breathing.

Richmond RCMP initiallyinvestigated the shootingscene, as Sandhu wastaken away in an ambu-lance to Richmond Hospi-tal shortly after 6 p.m.

Twitter account @Scan-BC reported the man hadCPR performed on himat the scene of the shoot-ing. Nearing midnight,Richmond RCMP issued astatement to report that theSandhu had succumbed tohis injuries.

Sandhu is a prominentdeveloper in Richmond

and politically active, ashe’s a regular contributorto local politicians’ electioncampaigns.

He and his company,Sandhill DevelopmentLtd., donated $2,250 toMayor Malcolm Brodie’s2014 campaign. Sandhualso donated $3,000 toRichmond First council-lors Linda McPhail, BillMcNulty and Derek Dangvia his companies, SSBHomes Ltd. and SandpakVentures Inc.

Via KistmetFarms Ltd., ofwhich he is thesole proprietor,Sandu donated$1,000 to Rich-mond Commu-nity Coalitioncouncillors KenJohnston andChak Au.

The Voice On-line, an Indo-Canadian newsoutlet, statedSandhu was very active inVancouver’s Ross StreetGurdwara politics and thathe “vehemently” opposedthe current executive of thegurdwara.

The Vancouver Sun re-ported that in 1986 Sand-hu, then a member of theInternational Sikh YouthFederation (now deemed aterrorist organization), wascharged with conspiring tomurder a visiting Punjabicabinet minister. Sandhubecame a Crown witnessagainst four Sikh men whowere charged and convict-ed in the failed assassina-tion attempt on VancouverIsland. The charge againstSandu and others wasdropped because authori-ties (CSIS) illegally used awiretap to gather evidence.

Sandhill DevelopmentLtd. has been listed in nu-merous civil claims on BCCourt Services Online overthe past decade. The firmdeveloped Sands Plaza at

No. 5 Road and StevestonHighway.

IHIT has taken chargeof the investigation, whichmarks Richmond’s firstreported homicide of 2016.Police have not stated anypossible motive during theearly stages of the investi-gation.

Sgt. Jennifer Pound, ofIHIT, issued a statementon Sunday morning.

“There is an extra ele-ment of concern when one

chooses tocommit thiscrime in sucha bold andbrazen mannerin a very publicsetting,” saidPound.

The crimescene resultedin numerousvehicles beingplaced behinda police lineovernight,temporarily

stranding the shoppers atthe strip mall, adjacent toIronwood Plaza.

When the RichmondNews arrived on the scene,police could be seen as-sisting shoppers with rideshome. At the time, no onesaid they saw the shootingtake place, only that therewas a large commotion inthe parking lot thereafter.

Eight police cars and anambulance were at thescene by around 6:45 p.m.Officers cordoned off alarge area of the parking lotand many businesses wereforced to shut down early.

The News learned fromtwo patients/visitors atRichmond Hospital thatthe facility was on lock-down for about two hours.

IHIT is asking anyonewith information about themurder to contact the IHITtipline at 1-877-551-4448,or if you want to remainanonymous, contactCrimestoppers.

The chair of Richmond’s Board of Educa-tion said she is thankful to the provincial

government for giving back nearly $900,000in administrative savings, which helped easethe impact of budget cuts for next schoolyear.

Debbie Tablotney said the budget cutreversal is the result of trustee advocacywith the Ministry of Education.

She added she would like to see moremoney for the Richmond School District.

On Monday, Richmond trustees unani-mously agreed to balance a $3.3 milliondeficit for its 2016-17 operating budget.

The board took $2 million from a $9.8million accumulated operating surplus.It also cut an estimated 10 teaching

positions ($660,000) as about 350 fewerstudents will be enrolled next year.

The board cut $335,000 from its schoolsupplies budget.

“It will mean tightening our belts, suchas saving paper,” said Tablotney.

The board also terminated $200,000 forHVAC (indoor air quality) services.

The board had initially been facedwith a $4.2 million budget shortfall untilEducation Minister Mike Bernier returned$872,000 to the district last week.

By law, school districts must present abalance budget.

Vancouver’s board decided not to doso, in protest of ongoing funding cuts anddownloading of costs by the provincialgovernment.

It remains to be seen what the provincewill do with the budget.

Dear Editor,Re: “Pipeline policies for suc-

cess,” City Scene, June 1.

In her column, Councillor AlexaLoo infers there won’t be nice

community centres or jobs inRichmond if you don’t supportsupertankers transporting importedjet fuel 15 kilometres up the FraserRiver for the first time in history.

A consortium representing theairlines, the Vancouver Air-port Fuel Facilities Corporation(VAFFC), is constructing a newmarine terminal and jet fuel stor-age site on the Fraser foreshorejust east of the Riverport Enter-tainment Complex.

The fuel terminal is located too

close to residential and commer-cial areas. It’s a reckless decisionwith the potential for disaster. AnLNG plant is located just on theother side of the river with permitsfor an LNG terminal and expand-ed facility.

International and U.S. shippingstandards do not permit suchfacilities near communities and inlocations like this where the ship-ping lanes are narrow.

There is potential for an acci-dent on the scale of Lac-Megan-tic.

In August, 2011, EnvironmentCanada wrote that the projectpresents a new and unacceptablerisk to the locally, nationally and

internationally important popula-tions of fish, migratory birds andspecies at risk.

It is ironic that the B.C. and fed-eral governments have approvedsuch a risk to the public and theenvironment for a project that isnot needed. Current fuel provid-ers to YVR claim they can provide100 per cent of the YVR jet fuelrequirements.

The Port of Vancouver, a federalbody quasi crown corporation, hasapproved this project and will nowprofit from leasing port lands tothe proponents.

The City of Richmond project to enhancethe Garden City Lands is gaining mo-

mentum, so let’s work together to make itone of the best central parks in the world.

The community has always wanted theLands to support agriculture, ecologicalconservation and open-land park recre-ation for community wellness. What will ittake to do that?z Adhere to the values of the Agriculture

Land Reserve.z Draw on the wisdom and insight of the

Garden City Conservation Society. It existsto help in exactly this situation.z Ensure accessibility. Design the infra-

structure — such as dike-road trails — forwheelchairs, mobility walkers and strollers.z Build capacity. Ensure trails are wide

enough for the highest anticipated use,

looking far ahead. It might also mean along and narrow parking area on the Landsbeside No. 4 Road.z Be radically inclusive. Take the per-

spectives of people living with poverty,social anxiety, security concerns whennear woods, need for nearby washrooms,etc. (This will benefit all users.)z Encourage agricultural diversity. Also,

anticipate how much land will be neededfor community gardens in the future (tenhectares?), and ensure that interim useswill improve the soil.z Use dike-road trails around the restor-

able sphagnum bog on the east side, andact promptly to implement a range of bogrestoration methods.z Save the southwest fen, a distinct and

thriving ecosystem with native pollinators.Also, consider a bird-oriented feature likethe Terra Nova Natural Area.z On the north edge, re-establish a mixed

urban forest by transplanting trees thatwould be lost with demolitions. Also, hon-

our the perseverance of the Lands’ pioneertrees — the truncated shore pines andcrabapple trees.z Protect the green viewscapes and

salvage the lost ones. A viewscape takes ineverything from a viewing point all the wayto distant features such as mountains. Asit is now, people get angry when they looknorth across Alderbridge at the destructionby construction.z Make the Lands an example of Rich-

mond’s Ecological Network ManagementStrategy, an outstanding plan to put intoaction.z Live up to our role as a model for the

world. (IESCO, a UN affiliate, selected usas an International Eco-Safety Demonstra-tive City in 2010.)z The deadline for feedback is June 12.

Dear Editor,

As one can note based onthe letters to the editor, the

trees-on-private-property issuein Richmond remains a hot topicand doesn’t seem to want to goaway — and for good reason.

The trees that are on privateproperty are there at the pleasureof the owner, not the public. I’min favour of letting the privateproperty owner dictate whathappens to their trees on theirproperty.

As an owner of private prop-erty, I have several (four) largeornamental trees as well asnumerous (six) fruit trees on my10,000 (60’ x160’) square footlot. These take up a lot of space,require water, fertilizer, pestcontrol, and constant pruningand maintenance to ensure theirhealth, good looks and oxygen-producing capabilities. So, whenthose nosy neighbours start com-

plaining when a tree comes downat my pleasure, let them put theirmoney were theirmouth is.

I propose thatprivate propertyowners receive aproperty tax creditfor each tree theyhave on theirproperty, let`s say,$50/tree/year.The tax-incentiveshould apply totrees of the sameor similar speci-fications as perthe existing treebylaw.

“The City’s TreeProtection BylawNo. 8057 generally prohibits thecutting or removal of any treelarger than 20 cm (7-7/8 inches)in diameter at breast height(dbh - measured at 1.4m or 4’7”

above the ground) without apermit.”

In my case, Iwould be eligiblefor a $500 tax re-duction each year(10x$50). But,the outcry…”Howis the money lostby the tax incen-tive going to bereplenished?”.Simple…by taxes.Each renter andland owner (andmost of all thosenosy neighbours)will be taxed aportion of the totallost by incentives,including myself,

so that there is no net increase intaxes payable to the city. Thosewith more trees than the cityaverage will be compensated fortheir trees and pay less taxes,

while those without trees ontheir private property will end uppaying more taxes. Many privatelandowners will probably havean average number of trees ontheir lot and their taxes will notchange.

And we get some more employ-ment opportunities for the cityor a private contractor to count,verify, and manage the treenumbers on private property.Add the salary and benefits ofthose employees to the tree taxformula.

I expect that as time goes on,more trees will end up being“saved” as money has a way ofdoing that. The nosy neighboursshould be happy that more treesare being saved (but not toohappy about paying for it?) andthe tree owners will see their ef-forts being rewarded.

Dear Editor,Last Saturday, a group of

dedicated and concernedparents and grandparentswalked with their childrenfrom Diefenbaker elemen-tary to Grauer elementaryto protest the process bywhich schools are consid-ered for closure. The firstproposed option for relocat-ing students in the event ofa Diefenbaker closure is tomove all regular programstudents to Grauer and add“capacity” (portables).

Grauer elementary is 2.85kilometres from Diefenbak-er and walking at the speedof an elementary schoolchild, it was a 47-minutewalk. During that time, onechild needed a snack, an-other child tripped and fell,and another child couldnot walk any further at the2.5-km mark and had to becarried. We were passedby roaring dump trucks, wecrossed the quite franklyscary intersection at No. 1and Francis roads, and wetrudged past kilometres ofseemingly vacant arterialroad mega homes.

This is Diefenbaker’s firstoption! Elementary aged

children should not bewalking the equivalent ofthree Sun Runs per week!Not to mention the parentsand grandparents whoare walking double that.Why not just get in a carand drive? Many familiesdon’t have the luxury oftwo vehicles. Many familiesdepend on childcare fromgrandparents who eitherdon’t drive or don’t haveaccess to a car.

Forcing families intovehicles is downloading thecost of education onto fami-lies, who have a reasonableexpectation of accessibleeducation for their children.Nearly three kilometres isnot accessible, nor reason-able.

What about the secondoption for Diefenbaker? Ifyou are a parent at Byng,McKinney, Westwind,Steves, Wowk, Gilmore orGrauer, expect to see aslice of our student popula-tion. Byng, for example,has room for 84 Diefen-baker students. Many Byngparents have expressedthe belief that their schoolis full. Unfortunately, thebefore- and after-care

room is “empty”, as is themulti–purpose and fine artsfacilities. The school districtwill squeeze in studentsthroughout the area to ac-commodate a Diefenbakerclosure.

In both options consid-ered, Diefenbaker stu-dents would be relocatedto schools as far away asGilmore or Grauer, bothnearly three kms from Dief-enbaker. If you lived on thefar edge of the catchment,

as many children in thetownhouse developmentsdo, you would definitelyexpect to walk over threekms each way. It is interest-ing that the school districtis not considering its ownguidance, that childrenshould not have to walkin excess of 15 minutesto school. Byng, Steves,and McKinney are withinthat radius and have acombined available capac-ity of 166. Currently, 353

students attend Diefen-baker. Literally hundredsof children aged four to 11face an undue hardshiptravelling to school over anunreasonable distance toeither Grauer or Gilmore.

We are not the onlyschool whose future ispotentially fractured. Dief-enbaker’s is one story froma group of 16. The onlyway to stop this process isto demand the provincialgovernment to rescindthe 95 per cent capacityultimatum.

A petition is circulatingat all elementary schoolsin Richmond. Your localPAC will be able to offeryou a copy to sign. Also, allschools in Richmond andtheir supporters are invitedto a rally for education onJune 18 at 11 a.m. in frontof John Yap’s MLA office inSteveston. All are welcome!

Together, our voices willbe heard in Victoria. Saveour schools! RichmondSchools Stand United!

Dear Editor,The unsightly mess in

the informal and unpavedparking lot across fromthe upscale River RockCasino and Hotel is get-ting worse by the day.

It is especially unfor-tunate that this eyesoreis situated in such abusy area. More illegallydumped constructionwaste is now littering thispotholed lot that tour-ists, workers from nearbybusinesses, transit users,and visitors to the nightmarket traverse day andnight, rain or shine.

More sidewalks aroundthe perimeter are alsoneeded to improvepedestrian movementaround this lot.

Whoever is responsiblefor this unsightly and un-safe area needs to cleanup, pave, and monitor theproperty sooner ratherthan later.

- Over 80+ Years of Service -

More than 200 new,residential care beds

for seniors are coming toRichmond in the next fouryears.

Vancouver Coastal Health(VCH) announced late lastweek that it has signed twoagreements for a total of210 new beds; a 135-bedfacility on the HamiltonLands in east Richmondand 75 new beds at aredeveloped and expandedFraserview Care Lodge nearWilliams and No. 4 roads.

According to VCH, theTrellis Group will build andoperate the Hamilton VillageCare Centre in east Rich-mond, which is scheduledto open in February 2019.

Fraserview, a memberof the Kaigo Seniors LivingGroup, will redevelop andexpand by 75 beds. Thecompletion date for thatproject is early 2020.

VCH says the newresidential care centres will“enhance residents’ privacyand the experience of careby offering single rooms,private washrooms, moreactivity space and better ac-

cess for wheelchairs.”“We are still several

years away from welcom-ing residents to these twonew homes,” said JenniferMacKenzie, chief operatingofficer for VCH Richmond.

“Much planning anddevelopment work will nowbe getting underway. Butentering into these agree-ments is a significant stepin making these plans areality.

“These two initiatives willgo a long way in support-ing the health of seniors inRichmond, including thosewith complex care needs.”

Richmond News’ queriesas to how much investmentwas needed to secure the210 new beds in Rich-mond, or if a waiting list forcare beds exists in the city,were not answered by presstime.

This expansion of residen-tial care in Richmond is partof a larger 10-year rejuvena-tion plan across VCH.

To date, VCH has signedagreements for about 600beds in new and expandedfacilities and an additional300 beds are plannedover the next several yearsacross the health region.

Some nurseries and garden stores havenoticed a huge decline in their plant salesover the past few years. People movingfrom single-family to multi-unit housing canbe one of the factors in the decline. Manypeople do not think they can continue to gar-den in such small spaces. And many of ournew Canadians living in Richmond choosecondo or townhouse living and have very littlegardening experience.

So it was not surprising to see that mostof our customers at this years’ plant saleencompassed garden neophytes living inmulti-unit housing.

I was so proud of the education andenthusiasm we provided to these beginnergardeners, to help them gain confidence togrow their own food and to add beauty totheir small spaces.

So, get yourself some large pots, somegood potting soil, a few tools and just startgardening.

If you want to grow some of your own food,right now you can plant beets, cucumbers,spinach, tomatoes, carrots and onions.Vegetable plants love sun so make sure youplant them in a sunny location. If you havea shady area, why not plant some lettuce,green onions, bok choi, and other leafy greenasian vegetables. Regularly water, add somelove and soon you will be adding some ofyour own produce to your meals.

You just need to start!Lynda Pasacreta is the current president

It has been hard to force myself indoorslately to take care of business! All our

gardens at our house are rapidly bloomingand producing! My husband and I have avery small yard in which we have turnedevery nook and cranny into flower bedsand vegetable gardens, sometimes com-bining both to get as much plant materialin as possible. Raspberries grow with ourclematis, lupins are in with the ever-bearingstrawberries. A dwarf peach tree growshappily in a large pot against the sunny sideof our house.

Now, back to another business, of sorts:Recently, the Richmond Garden Club heldits annual plant sale and I was pleased tosee a particular crowd attend.

We never know year to year what plantswill be in demand. We primarily sell peren-nial plants, vegetable plants and herbs thatwe have grown and propagated.

This year, one of our members broughtin magnificent tomato plants that he grewindoors on his window sill, through theearly part of spring. He just planted seedsin little pots, placed them by windows andwatched them grow! Nothing fancy! Therewere different varieties of extremely healthytomatoes, all about 12 inches high. All thetomato plants sold within an hour. Ourcustomers continued to ask if we had anytomato plants throughout the day.

Now, on to herbs! This year, many of our

customers decided they wanted to growherbs. The most popular were basil, parsleyand oregano. And most were headed forpot gardens.

The most amazing part of this event washow many people that day had never gar-dened before and lived in condominiums ortownhouses.

If you recall, in one of my previous col-umns, I identified how many people live inmulti-unit housing in Richmond — over 55per cent based on the 2011 census.

Many people did not know the differencebetween a perennial and an annual plant.Understandably, many of these visitorswere quite afraid to start a garden becauseof their small space. Nevertheless, theycame to our plant sale just to look!

So, Garden Cub members spent quitea bit of time with our customers that day,teaching them how to get started withsimple pot gardens for balconies, smallspace gardens that incorporated both flow-ers and vegetables.

Questions were asked about which direc-tion their patios and balconies face in orderto provide them with the right plant for theirspace. We were so proud to see many pre-viously hesitant people haul loads of plantsto their vehicles while trying to hold theirexcitement at getting them all planted rightaway! We knew we had captured the heartsof some new gardeners!

Very few that came “just to look” wentaway empty-handed.

! Dr. Raj Jheeta has been practising naturopa-thy for the past 28 years in Richmond. Photosubmitted

business ProfileGetting on the rightpath to wellness

Taking ownership of your own health

care is a topic common among many

people these days. But even when that

happens some are left wanting more answers

to why they are feeling the way they do.

Dr. Raj Jheeta, a longtime Richmond natu-

ropath, has coined a phrase to characterize the

situation.

“Are you sick of being sick?” he asks.

If you are and feel you’re not getting the

information or care from traditional health care

methods, perhaps naturopathy and its philoso-

phy of preventative care is the route to go.

Traditional care today is based on reactive

medicine, says Jheeta who has been practicing

locally since 1988, meaning that you look for a

disease and respond to it.

“Most diagnosis in the traditional system is

done the same way,” Jheeta says. “If there is

an illness present, you treat or manage it.

“We grew up with that as a good philosophy

for medicine,” he adds. “Go see the doctor

once a year and make sure nothing is wrong

with you.”

While that can be a powerful and effective

process, what naturopaths do differently is

evaluate a person to see exactly how healthy

they are instead of how sick they are.

“It seems simplistic, but it’s quite divergent

in that traditional medicine is designed to see

Jheeta can employ a series of tests — which

are covered

by extended

health insur-

ance — to

determine an

individual’s

level of

health.

The testing

includes: al-

lergy testing;

stress evalua-

assessment;

and an evalu-

ation on how

the environ-

ment may be

affecting your

health.

“Instead of

just saying

that you’re

we can do a urine or saliva test to really quan-

tify your level of stress and tell you how it’s

impacting your health,” Jheeta says.

Spring is upon us and for many peoplethis means the beginning of seasonalallergies (hayfever).

Hayfever is an inappropriateimmune response by the body to essentiallyharmless substances.

Common symptoms include itchyeyes, runny nose, sneezing, wheezing andheadaches. People often mistake thesesymptoms for a common cold. However, acold will usually accompany these symptomswith a fever.

Standard but effective treatmentsinclude using specific herbal medicines,homeopathic medicines and glandularsubstances.This treatment plan will reducethe body’s inappropriate immune response thereby treating

allergies from the cause rather than treatingjust the symptoms unlike most over-the-counter medications. There are no sideeffects, dependencies, toxicities, drowsinessor rebound congestion associated withnatural remedies.

Recent advances in the treatment ofallergies include intravenous Vitamin ther-apy. This involves using large amounts ofspecific nutrients injected directly intothe bloodstream. Once again the result isrelieving the body’s inappropriate immuneresponse and subsequently alleviatingthe symptoms for months at a time. Thistreatment is an option for those patientswho do not like taking pills three or four

times a day for months.

Naturopathic services are covered through extended health plans.

Then there’s the

concern of how the

environment is impact-

ing your health with

chemicals, additives

and preservatives.

“There, we can do an-

]Ycd[ dWi`XiYa]^ Y] j^e

out how toxic you may

be, whether it’s chemi-

cals, pollutants, or heavy

metals, then implement

programs to help you

manage that,” he says.

As far as the wellness

assessment is concerned

testing is done to see how

certain markers change as

you get older.

“By doing those things,

we can help about 90 per

cent of the population, be-

cause in one way or another

most people’s health issues

are connected one or more

of those evaluations,” Jheeta

says. “Diet, stress, toxicity

and your own genetic well-

ness are all huge.

“You work on all four and

people will always do better.”

The quest to help patients

with their conditions

prompted Jheeta to write a

book called The doctor of

the future is here. Published

last year, he says it forms

part of his desire to teach

people accountability and be

engaged in their health care.

“We’re so conditioned to

be engaged in so many other

aspects of our lives, such as

j^i^fdg [di` dZYiYdg a^WdZY-

ments and retirement, or with

children and their extracurric-

ular activities,” he says. “But

when it comes to health care,

we’re not that well engaged in

understanding the basic tools

we need to know to live a

preventative lifestyle.”

He points to the what he

calls the three “Es” — educa-

tion, evaluate and empower-

ment as vital in achieving that

engagement.

“I like to educate people

to know what it is to be truly

healthy,” he says. “Evalua-

tion is for knowing what true

evaluation methods are for

prevention,” he says. “Then

you take those two skills and

and empower the patient to be

a healthier person.”

Jheeta also posts informa-

tion about his practice on

his website (drjheeta.com)

where visitors can sign up

for weekly newsletters that

address a variety of health

questions.

AGrade 10 Burnett secondary student has scooped thetop prize in a national poetry contest.

Shawn Chang’s poem, In Pallid Light, won first prizein the Polar Expressions National Poetry Contest.

Shawn picked up a $160 prize, has his poem pub-lished in a book with other winners and his teacher atBurnett, Patrick Anderson, received a matching prize.

“We are extremely proud of Shawn. His work showsa maturity that is rare for a poet of his age, and Ireally hope he continues to share his talent with theworld as he gets older. He has done the school, andRichmond, proud,” Anderson said in an email to theRichmond News.

Iwas just a baby when Mount St. Hel-ens blew up. I remember my parents

telling me about the ash fall, but Ialways wondered how that could be:the mountain is 500 km away. Afterreading Eruption: the Untold Story ofMount St. Helens by Steve Olson, nowI get it.

It was a very big explosion, certainlythe largest seen in North America inany of our lifetimes.

Just like the mountain’s explosion,Eruption starts off slowly: if you wereever interested in the history of theforestry company Weyerhaeuser, thewhole first half of this book is a goodplace to start. We learn the long, de-

tailed story of how Weyerhaeuser wasestablished in the American Midwest,how the owner went through severalbusiness ventures, how Weyerhaeuserexpanded to set the pattern of settle-ment and land ownership throughoutWashington State and the immediateareas surrounding Mount St. Helens.

Eventually Eruption gets to the meatof the story: Mount St. Helens startsto stir; the concerns that loggers hadthrough the years about the littleearthquakes, steam jets, mini-spoutsof ash; and how the company refusedto put much thought into the potentialdangers of having a volcano in theirbackyard.

However, even with these details,we’re halfway through the book. Iwanted to know what really happenedand what the consequences of such ahuge explosion were.

We do get there, but it’s a surpris-ingly short part of the story. As soon asthe description of events finishes (andthey were exciting events), the storymoves to conservation and preserva-tion. It is a little disappointing. Witha title like “Eruption” I was expectingsomething much more exciting.

Having said all that, another volcanicevent in the Pacific Northwest is prettylikely. As dry as the first part of thisbook was, there are lessons to learnabout how government and compa-nies, as well as individual landown-ers, dealt with the Mount St. Helenseruption. It’s worth a read, just for thatinformation alone. Just don’t expect itto blow your mind.

Steven McCreedy is a Library Tech-nician at the Cambie Branch. He’s avoter for the Hugo Awards this year, sonext up is a lot of science fiction.

ARTS in the City

In Pallid LightBy Shawn Chang

The ocean is halcyontonight; near many aneglected sand dune,

The flowing plane inpallid light reflects themournful midnight moon.

Near many a neglectedsand dune, rippling sur-face of waters clear

Reflects the mournfulmidnight moon that’s inits own turn dark anddrear.

Rippling surface ofwaters clear, carrying asong of anguish

That’s in its own turndark and drear, is lifelessas the waves languish.

Carrying a song ofanguish, the moon’sreflection, faint but fair,

Is lifeless as the waveslanguish with a sorrowbeyond despair.

The moon’s reflection,faint but fair, shifted bypebbles tossed to land,

With a sorrow beyonddespair, that adorns thelorn dunes of sand.

Shifted by pebblestossed to land, again,once more, again, oncemore,

That adorns the lorndunes of sand; thesurface sends grief to theshore.

Again, once more,again, once more, thenote of woe creeps fromthe deep;

The surface sends griefto the shore, lulling thewaters back to sleep.

The note of woe creepsfrom the deep; and sentto the waves’ boundsafar,

Lulling the waters backto sleep is the fate fore-told by a star.

And sent to the waves’bounds afar, spreadingbefore one’s turbid eyes,

Is the fate foretold by astar; what’s beneath thesad moonlit skies?

Spreading before one’sturbid eyes, the ocean ishalcyon tonight.

What’s beneath the sadmoonlit skies? The flow-ing plane in pallid light.

Sharks standout attending U17 national team campSteveston-London Sharks

basketball standout FardawsAimaq is among 22 players at-tending a U17 national team tryoutcamp which wraps up on Friday inToronto.The camp will determine Cana-

da’s 12-player roster for the 2016U17 FIBA World Championshipsin Zaragoza, Spain from June 23-July 3. The national team will alsobe participating at an exhibitiontournament in France prior to the

championships.“We’re excited to bring this

young group together. Last sum-mer we had our best ever finish atthis age-level and we look forwardto seeing their development andrepresenting Canada on the worldstage,” said Dave DeAveiro, headcoach.DeAveiro (McGill University) is

be joined by assistants MichaelMeeks (Canada Basketball), JamesDerouin (University of Ottawa) and

apprentice coach, Nicky Davis(Sheridan College).Aimaq enjoyed an outstand-

ing Grade 11 season with theSharks — helping the school winits first-ever Richmond and LowerMainland AAA championshipsbefore dropping a heartbreaker toSouthridge in the provincial final.The 6-foot-9 post was namedMVP of the Lower Mainland Tour-nament and was a First Team All-Star at the B.C. Championships —

highlighted by a monster 40-pointand 32-rebound performance inthe title game.He also helped B.C. win gold at

the 2015 Western Canada Sum-mer Games.In 2015,Canada’s U17 team won

a silver medal at the U16 FIBAAmericas Championships - theprogram’s best-ever finish. Canadais currently ranked third in theworldwide in the FIBA youth menrankings.Fardaws Aimaq

Same script for hard luck Wildcats

It was a script all too familiar tothe McMath Wildcats and theirsupporters at the B.C. AAA GirlsSoccer Championships.For the third straight year, the

Wildcats did not lose in regulationtime over five games. They werealso kept out of medal contentionas well.The 16-team tournament in

Tsawwassen proved to be anotherfrustrating one for a talented Mc-Math group that twice droppedgames in penalty kicks to settle forsixth place.The Wildcats found themselves

in the exact same scenario as thepast two seasons — needing towin their final round-robin gameto clinch a semi-final berth. Theydominated the Handsworth Royalsin the early going, creating a cou-ple of premium scoring chancesand having one goal called backfor offside.The North Shore school came

out of the early onslaught un-scathed and began to take theterritorial play the other way. After70 minutes of playing time couldn’tproduce a goal, the teams headedto a penalty kick shootout with theRoyals prevailing 4-3.McMath rebounded with a win

over South Kamloops, to set-up afifth place game with Oak Bay onSaturday morning. Again pen-alty kicks were required and theVictoria area school handed theWildcats their seventh straight PK

loss in three years.“We practice them all the time

but what you can’t practice ispressure,” said Wildcats coachStephen Burns. “It’s similar to afree throw in basketball where theyare easy to shoot when you arenot in a game situation. It’s be-come a mental block on our team.“Even today (against Oak Bay)

you could see it in their eyeswhen I told the girls there was noovertime and we would be goingstraight to penalty kicks.”The Wildcats entered the

provincials having rolled throughleague play, then producing twomore dominate wins to capture theRichmond/Vancouver champion-ship.All the ingredients seem to be in

place for the Steveston school totake a serious run at its first-everprovincial title.An outstanding group included

five seniors set to continue theircareers at the university or col-legiate level next season.Even basketball standouts Jes-

sica Jones and Jessica Zawadaput on their soccer boots one finaltime before embarking on theiruniversity hoop careers.The loss was especially tough

for team manager Gillian Partridgewho has now watched both herdaughters — Emma and Hannah— come through the team and notget over that proverbial hump atprovincials.The Wildcats managed six goals

in five games but four of themcame against Sardis.Burns says his team probably

would be better served if it wasmore battle tested during theseason rather than dominating theRichmond League.He should know, having also

guided the South Delta Sun Devilsto 15th consecutive provincialappearances coming through the

extremely competitive Fraser Valleyzone.The Sun Devils finished fourth in

their league and fifth at the Valleysbut had a huge tournament toearn bronze, scoring 21 goals.“The weak schedule doesn’t

help,” he added. “You have to

raise your game for the betterteams and when you are notconsistently getting them, it playson you.”Burns is unsure he will return to

coach next year. He stepped inback in 2014 when his daughterAli was in Grade 10.

The moment that you left us,our hearts were split in two.

One side was filledwith memories,

the other side died with you.We often lay awake at night,when the world is fast asleep

and take a walk downmemory lane

with tears upon our cheeks.Remembering you is easy,

we do it every daybut missing you is a

heartachethat never goes away.

We hold you tightly withinour hearts

and there you will remain.You see life has gone on

without you,but will never be the same.
