Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

I had the pleasure of coaching my teenage son’s soccer team at the Provincial A Championships in Richmond last Thursday through Sunday.

I say “pleasure” in the broadest terms, as there was a fair dose of pain administered to temper the endorphin release.

It was said, however, by someone more learned, that “to truly appreciate the feast, you must first endure the famine.”

11

First, to the famine; in this case, in the shape of soccer players, or the lack thereof.

5

Without getting into the specifics, the team was a late call-up to the provincials and several on the roster had either moved on or committed elsewhere.

As well as a short bench, there was also a shortage of energy from those who did make it, I suspect due to some not preparing properly for the task ahead. Defeat swiftly followed.

The famine continued through Friday against last year’s provincial champion with the common thread of words beginning with the letter “R.” “Referees,” “Respect” and “Restraint,” the latter of which proving difficult to pull off, given the effect of the former.

Quite what the former was watching is a matter for the soccer gods, but it wasn’t what I was watching, hence the dire need to dig deep into the latter.

No shock, therefore, that another loss – and, as a result, no chance of gold – ensued.

The middle of the three Rs, “respect,” arrived after the final whistle when our boys, rightly aggrieved at what just played out, were told by myself to swallow their pride hard, line-up and make the first move to shake hands with the opposition.

I told them that I felt their pain and there will be times growing up when you dearly want to punch someone in the face but have to restrain yourself.

16

They were asked to “take the high road” and it worked, right off the bat, with one of the opposition refusing to shake hands. Their coach, upon learning of what happened, sought me out to apologize for his player whom, I’m told, was given a lecture about respect. Job done.

With the famine still fresh on the palate, the feast flowed on Saturday with a tasty defeat of the reigning league champion.

Restraint, however, was again called for in abundance when it became apparent parents of the opposing team were verbally abusing one of our players.

Apparently, the authorities are dealing with it, but I’ve yet to hear any action taken by the time of writing this.

Although the feast rolled into Sunday in the bronze medal game, even more restraint was required when the referee, who’d clearly rewritten the rule book on his own, lost control of a bad-tempered match-up, resulting in a melee and a flurry of red cards in the final seconds. We won 1-0.

32

33

I opted for no hand-shakes this time, instead clearing the scene to defuse the tension.

A few life lessons were delivered over an eventful four days, packed full of famine, feast and a few “R” words that were much easier said than done.

EDUCATION

Yes. I watch it every four years. I support England. It’s my hobby. I started playing soccer when I was a student at school. The magic of soccer is that it can bring up people’s spirits to a very high level.

Yes. I have been watching the World Cup for a long time. I like the passion around it. I support Germany, which has been out for a while.

I like Italy, which didn’t qualify for the World Cup. And Brazil has gone back home too. I’m so sad.

Yes. I just started watching it this year. It’s fun. I’m so happy to watch the World Cup, because most of my family are watching it, so we can share with each other and talk about it. I support teams like Russia, Portugal and Belgium which have all gone back home.

I’ve never really got behind it. It’s one of the sports that I’m not that into. The World Cup is different from the rest of the soccer, a little bit more intereting. I follow hockey and football.

Board consulted plenty Dear Editor, Re: “Parents upset with SOGI result run for trustee,” Our Feature, July 5.

As a parent with children in elementary school in Richmond, I wanted to respond to Mr. Pak’s assertion that it’s “the school board’s responsibility to ensure that parents were informed.” It’s not. It’s our responsibility as parents to ensure that we are informed. The board can only make the information available and answer questions that may arise.

Just speaking for myself, I know that discussions around the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy have been ongoing for well over a year.

In addition to the PAC at my children’s school, I am involved in the Richmond District Parents Association, which is open to all Richmond parents and guardians.

Discussions about a potential, separate SOGI policy were initially raised at the January 2017 RDPA meeting. At the next meeting, RDPA invited students from Steveston-London to speak to the parents so we could understand their experiences and what they wanted.

In June 2017, a working group, including parent representatives from RDPA, started to draft a separate SOGI

him directly with feedback; and

policy. They presented the draft at the April 11, 2018 school board meeting.

After that meeting public feedback on the draft was solicited in multiple ways.

These are just the ones that I’m personally aware of:

• The board meeting held on June 27 where the trustees sat for five hours while they gave everyone a chance to speak. I know, because I spoke even though I was initially on the wait list.

• Information sessions were held at Palmer Secondary on April 24 and on May 5;

At this point I do not understand Mr. Pak and other parents at the board meeting who fault the school board for lack of communication. What more are they saying the board should have done? Robo calls? Trustees showing up at their door with tea and rainbow cupcakes?

• Let’s Talk Website (LetsTalksd38.ca) made available the draft policy as well as the administrative guidelines and management regulations (in English and Chinese) for online feedback from April 12 to June 4, 2018;

Our district faces many challenges from declining enrollment to overcrowding at city centre schools to budget shortfalls to seismic remediation/ school closures/redrawing catchment lines. Richmond students and parents deserve better than a single issue candidate. The SOGI policy has been duly adopted. As Trustee Hamaguchi put it, we should all “give it a chance”...just like Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Delta, New Westminster, Abbotsford, and all of the other school districts in the province, bar one, who adopted SOGI policies before Richmond.

• The district’s and RPDA’s Facebook pages invited feedback and referenced the Let’s Talk Website; • Several articles in the Richmond News about the topic included the call for feedback; • As secretary for my PAC, I sent out an email about the draft policy and feedback request; • The principal and VP at my school addressed concerns and answered questions at our May PAC meeting; • Trustee Hamaguchi addressed concerns and answered questions at our June PAC meeting and also asked parents in attendance to feel free to email

I can’t agree more with the sentiments expressed in Richard Cham’s letter.

I fly a 27” X 54” Canadian flag from the front of my home every day of the year, except such days as St. George’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, St. David’s Day, etc., when I fly the flag of the dayappropriate country.

It is interesting to note, when visiting other countries, just how many of their citizens fly national flags, especially in the U.S.A. where patriotism is often confused with nationalism. I digress.

The reason for my letter is to let the general public know that they are able to acquire, free of charge, a full-size (27” X 54”) Canadian Flag from their local M.P.’s office, the addresses of which can be obtained by Googling

If a homeowner does not wish to go to the expense or can’t, for whatever reason, install a full-size flag pole, most hardware stores sell a kit of a 6’ flagpole and bracket to attach to the front of a house, balcony railing or fence.

It is also interesting to note that federal law forbids any strata corporation, co-op or other body or institution the authority to ban the flying of a Canadian flag. I do suggest, however, that said bodies or organizations be advised or consulted, in advance of the erection of a pole and flying of a flag, if only out of courtesy. There may be other considerations if, for instance, a flying flag impeded the visibility of exit or other emergency signage.

Hoping you had an enjoyable Canad Day.

Yvonne Harwood RICHMOND

I like this kind of approach!

The West Australian newspaper published an article earlier this week with a novel approach to financial planning. Unlike a New Year’s resolution which, they say, is commonly forgotten by the end of January, a financial plan can be revisited at the halfway point of the year.

The first step they suggest is to make a spending plan, which is a lot more fun than a saving plan (who would disagree?). Whatever annual bills you have, a chosen amount can be diverted into a separate bank account each time you get paid. When the bills come, you pay them from that separate account. At some point, you need to examine how much you are spending for each bill and consider whether there is a lower cost provider of the service or item you use (like for a cell phone or the gym membership).

After that, you determine how much you can spend on more fun things (like dinners out or other entertainment). This is Estate planning in reverse, so it might be more enjoyable to work on than a traditional plan. Good luck!

Seniors stranded as sidewalks blocked Dear Editor,

Cook Road.

Never in my 10 years plus of living in Richmond have I been more horrified by the life-threatening conditions of a neighborhood that is not only cutting short our lives, but is threatening the day-to-day movements of guys like myself (senior-age, non-driving).

I am referring to the disembowelment on Buswell Street, stretching from Park Road, across Cook Road, reaching Saba Road, that links two marketing locations (Public Market and shops on Park Road).

The disaster of the road disembowelment is the result of the follow factors: • Road repairs; • Underground pipe installation; • Demolition of the Brighouse mall, which is still going on; • And the delayed clean-up in front of a newly erected high-rise at the corner of Buswell Street and

We understand that all these projects are necessary, but when they take place simultaneously, they are lethal — especially to folks who are aging and have to depend on their two infirm legs to walk around the neighborhood.

To top the depressing sight described above, a most recent work project (Thursday, 5 July) underscores who the arch-culprit really is — the road repair department at the City of Richmond.

If all the work projects taking place on the same road originate from a single department, why can’t the officers-in-charge be more considerate to guys who need the pavements to move from place to place inside the neighbourhood? The new project I refer to takes place on Buswell Street between Park Road and Cook Road, rendering both sides of the road (the pavements) unwalkable.

The only way to walk that stretch

NOW SERVING MORE CLIENTS WITH MORE SERVICES FROM MORE OFFICES

is to compete for space with cars on the road. And some of these “walkers” have to grip a cane in one hand, and a bag of shopping in the other. Good grief!

SOGI resources will confuse kids Dear Editor, Here are a few facts that I have discovered while examining the SOGI Policy and some of the resouces (provided to all school districts by the Ministry of Education.)

Further, if some of us would like to walk from the Cook Road — Buswell Street junction outward to No. 3 Road, where the Dining Terrace in the Richmond Centre mall is located, the scene is not at all encouraging. (Bear in mind that since we can’t do much shopping, we may opt for the food court at the mall) but both sides of Cook Road are also unwalkable. And even if we risk our lives walking on the road side-by-side with moving cars, we have to breathe in air filled with dust and debris from the demolishing work of the Brighouse mall.

• The SOGI policy is supported by several (provincial) lesson plans and curriculum resources that equip teachers to introduce topics pertaining to sexual orientation and gender identity.

I believe the concerned departments of the City of Richmond owe us an explanation.

This book can be read at any time without informing parents first, therefore jeopardizing the opportunity for parents to further the conversation at home.

James Ling Hung

RICHMOND

For example, a lesson plan for K-3, introduces the Gender Rainbow with the book, I Am Jazz.

This is a true life story about Jazz Jennings, a 12-year-old transgendered youth “born with a girl’s brain in a boy’s body”.

Jazz has also received puberty blockers and cross sex hormones and more recently had gender affirmation surgery.

To better serve our growing list of clients, the Cohen Buchan Edwards LLP team has just expanded—with a new office and a respected, experienced new member of the team. White Rock’s Randy Taylor has joined CBE, and his clients can now benefit from our full range of legal services. With nine lawyers working from two offices, CBE now

Another lesson plan for K-3 uses a rainbow illustration to bridge the understanding that there are many gender identities (“girl, boy, both, neither, and some people are gender fluid and their gender changes on different days and weeks”). This lesson plan creates confusion in children.

• The SOGI policy is teaching an ideology that gender is fluid.

The Richmond School District stated it themselves in a FAQ document handed out during a public information meeting: “What does the word SOGI mean? SOGI is an acronym for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and it refers to the idea that some people will identify themselves as different than their biological gender, or differently than participants in a heterosexual relationship.”

Gender fluidity is an idea (ideology), not a fact.

Air park sued by McRoberts alumni among dead dad’s spouse adventurer deaths at falls Accident prompted questions about government regulations Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Tanya Hayes has filed a civil suit in B.C. Supreme Court, along with their three children, claiming the park at the Riverport Sports and Entertainment Complex was negligent.

According to the suit, which was filed June 30, the park failed to provide adequate instruction and supervision and failed to protect Greenwood from harm.

As a result, Hayes claims the family, which is from Victoria, has suffered “loss of love, guidance, and companionship,” as well as a “loss of childcare services, financial support and inheritance.” The family is seeking damages.

It’s also alleged in the court document that Extreme Air Park failed to ensure the equipment was adequate or made proper inspections and didn’t ensure the foam pit was sufficiently wide and deep enough.

None of the allegations has been proven in court.

RICHMOND NEWS

Two of the three adventurers killed in last week’s fatal accident on Shannon Falls, near Squamish, were natives of Richmond.

YouTube star Ryker Gamble and Alexey Lyakh are both McRoberts secondary alumni. They have been identified as two of the three adventure seekers who died after slipping into the river above Shannon Falls.

The spouse of a man who died while jumping into a foam pit at Richmond’s Extreme Air Park is suing the company.

Jay Greenwood, 46, died in January following a fatal injury after diving into the foam pit at the park while playing with his two young daughters.

Jay Greenwood, 46, died last year after jumping into a foam pit at Richmond’s Extreme Air Park. His wife is now suing the trampoline facility.

The other victim was Megan “Mindy” Scraper, who is understood to have slipped into the falls at some point, where there was a strong current, before Gamble and Lyakh jumped in to try and save her.

According to witnesses, Greenwood was jumping from an elevated trampoline into a foam pit and broke his neck.

In an emotional Facebook post, friend Zachary Moxley remembered “their positive energy, their hunger for success and willingness to help others.

His death prompted serious questions among eyewitnesses about safety at the facility, with some claiming staff at the park didn’t appear to know what to do at the time.

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned from those beautiful humans it’s to not take anything for granted and live to your absolute fullest.”

Extreme Air Park asks customers to sign a waiver acknowledging risks.

All three victims were well known social media professionals. Gamble and Lyakh produced a popular Youtube channel called High on Life.

Two weeks after the fatality, the company issued a statement, offering its condolences and also asking the provincial government to draw up trampoline safety regulations, which don’t appear to exist.

At McRoberts in their school days, both Gamble and Lyakh routinely scored top

marks for using videos for assignments.

The group has travelled all over the world, exploring a long list of destinations in Europe, Asia, South America and North America.

In 2016, their exploits made international news after they were charged with damaging sensitive habitat in Yellowstone Park.

Scraper was known online as “Mindy the Lion” and had an online marketing business built around extensive travel.

RCMP said last week that the trio slipped and were dragged into the current while swimming in one of the pools near the top of the falls on the Upper Shannon Falls hiking trail.

Witnesses told search and rescue officials that Gamble and Lyakh followed Scraper

into the pools to try and help her. All three dropped 30 metres over the pool’s ledge.

Underwater dive teams worked hard on Wednesday undertaking a “complex recovery” of the bodies from a hard-to-access pool, according to an RCMP release.

The Squamish RCMP and Squamish SAR have now turned the file over the BC Coroner’s service.

Scraper and Lyakh had been dating for five years, according to social media.

Family member Rob Mangelsdorf took to Facebook on Wednesday to pay tribute to his adventurous cousin.

“There’s a little less light in the world today. I love you Ryker Gamble. You are gone but you will not be forgotten,” he posted.

Fire rips condo roof Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

At least four fire trucks were called to a condo building near Garden City and Lansdowne roads after a blaze ripped through the rooftop on Friday afternoon.

At around 2 p.m., heavy black smoke was seen billowing out of a building on the 5500 block of Arcadia Road, and fire crew, ambulance and the police arrived on the scene shortly after, according to witnesses.

Fire chief Tim Wilkinson told the Richmond News there were no injuries at the time.

Resident Remington Hall was one of the first witnesses to report the fire, which he noticed while driving past the building.

“I went through the courtyard inside. It’s a

unit three floors up; the fire started taking over the whole unit and the ceiling started burning. The rest were just smoking pretty bad. The whole deck area was completely in flames,” Hall told the News at the time.

“I didn’t see people in the unit. I went to bang on some of the doors on the ground level and people were coming out. [Fire crews] got here pretty fast.”

Michael Fogel, a resident of the building, told the News that he and his wife were at home when they heard the alarm go off.

“There have been so many alarms in this building, you never know if it’s a fire or just another false alarm. I thought it was another false alarm until the police came and brought us out,” said Fogel.

He said most of people living in the building are condo owners. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

2 out, 3 in, at ‘bunny backyard’ “bunny boom.”

Alan Campbell

“I’ll be honest, my priority is getting the rabbits out of my backyard and adopted out.

RICHMOND NEWS

“I’m trying to adopt them via Rabbitats’ online adoption form. My preference is not to adopt them out until Rabbitats has looked at the online application.”

No matter how hard she tries, Amie Nowak just can’t seem to crunch the numbers down.

Every time she manages to reduce the number of rabbits being temporarily housed in her backyard, more arrive into her makeshift bunny haven on the far west end of Williams Road.

In the meantime, however, Nowak is still looking after a plethora of bunnies in her relatively small backyard, which now has two large rabbit hutches.

It all started about a month ago, when one of her excited daughters brought home one of the local rabbit family.

The Richmond News told two weeks ago how mom-of-two Nowak took matters into her own hands to curb the burgeoning rabbit population in her west Richmond townhouse complex.

“I think the novelty has worn off; there are days when I come home and it’s clear the rabbit haven’t been fed,” added Nowak.

Local rabbit sanctuaries and the Richmondbased Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS) — which has the City of Richmond animal shelter contract — cannot, for various reasons, take in any more rabbits.

Amie Nowak is very keen to adopt out the rabbits she’s been keeping in her backyard to stop them from multiplying in her townhouse complex. Alan Campbell photo

At one point, Nowak was up to 14 rabbits from the same family, after finding three more in her complex recently.

six babies, when they reach the required eight-weeks-old.

In the meantime, she has managed to adopt out two from the middle litter and has had some help from neighbours for spaying/neutering costs.

And there are pledges to adopt four of the

“I guess it’s been a good learning curve in realizing how much care is needed.”

“I’m asking people to have them spayed and neutered when they adopt them,” said Nowak who, along with Richmond rabbit charities, has appealed for the City of Richmond to do more to contain what they call a

Last month, Nowak and her rabbits were turned away from the city’s contracted animal shelter, RAPS, which had to incinerate its rabbit accommodation after the March outbreak of rabbit hemorrhage disease (RHD).

Due, in part, to RAPS being off-limits, local rabbit charities, Rabbitats and Bandaids for Bunnies, are both full and at a financial breaking point.

“I don’t mind spaying or neutering one or two, but I’m not doing all of them,” said Nowak at the time.

“But I really think the city needs to step up.

Perhaps with some land to house them and maybe a spaying and neutering program.”

Nowak pointed out that rabbits, over time, do way more damage than cats and dogs — for which there is a city spaying/neutering program — and rabbits “reproduce, like rabbits!”

She has an Instagram account (Edgewater_Fluffle) to adopt the rabbits.

Richmond is currently on the wrong end of a 10-year baby boom where, according to biologists, every decade, the rabbit population explodes, explained Rabbitats.

The city said last month it was monitoring the situation and has been in contact with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and animal charities.

“Unfortunately, the city is limited in what it can do in the area of rabbits as they are considered Schedule C Wildlife under provincial wildlife legislation,” said the city’s spokesperson, Ted Townsend, in a statement.

Townsend said the city is “currently not resourced to fund the trapping of rabbits and establishing sanctuaries.”

Steveston residents get yards back on city council voted to have the residents’ fences put back up when the sewer work was complete, as long as they got 100 per cent approval from all the neighbours.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

“We had to sign a licence agreement contract with the city, which means the city has no liability and we can’t grow trees or shrubs or anything like that there,” Back told the Richmond News this week.

The last time residents in a certain Steveston neighbourhood had full use of their backyards, Christmas decorations were on their way up.

Just a couple of weeks ago, 33 homes on Richmond Street and Broadway Street — between No. 1 Road and Second Avenue — had their yards reinstated by the City of Richmond.

It’s been a near eight-month slog for the residents, led by Chris Back, who were confounded back in November, 2017 with the city’s desire to cement a 15-foot wide laneway through their backyards to have easier access to its sewer system.

Undeterred by the city being adamant that permanent access was needed, Back and his neighbours – while acknowledging the proj-

“We are also responsible for maintaining the land. We signed a 20-year licence for $1 each. Our gardens are now back the way it was, all soiled and seeded.”

Back said he and his neighbours are “very happy with the outcome,” but some would rather have purchased the land.”

“But purchasing it would have been much more complicated,” he added.

“A lot of effort was put into this by myself and two other neighbours; we’ve put in a significant number of hours and then there is the time, city staff time and council time.

“I think if city council had given us more time at the beginning, it would have saved some time in the long run.

“But many of Steveston’s sewers are going to go in the next 10 years or so; hopefully what’s happened here will set a precedent and they don’t have to go through what we did.”

City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said, via email, that the Steveston Sanitary Replacement Project (SSRP) was completed June 30.

“All structures have been moved off of the lane dedication and the yards have been reinstated.

“Our crews are completing some unrelated drainage repairs in the lanes to the east and west of the SSRP. “All the owners, but one, agreed to an arrangement where, in exchange for a nominal annual cost, they will retain personal use of the laneways subject to conditions as per council report approved earlier this year.”

Mandalena Lewis, who used to work out of YVR, is currently involved in a proposed class action lawsuit against former employer WestJet. Lewis told the company she was sexually assaulted by a pilot in 2010 and says the company failed to protect its female flight attendants. Now, Lewis says she hopes to “shed light on the covering up” of assault.

“Sexual assault and harassment in the airline industry is a systemic and historic problem,” Lewis told the Richmond News.

WestJet appealed to strike the claim but was denied late last year. The next appeal is set for January 2019. A WestJet spokesperson told the News by email that the company would not comment on the matter as it was currently before the courts.

After she came forward publicly in 2016,

Lewis said other women began to reach out to her and share their own stories.

So, Lewis took her message to YVR and gave out pamphlets about her campaign #youcrewmetoo, which describes itself as “an online support community for flight crew experiencing sexual harassment at work.”

But after approximately two hours, Lewis was asked to leave the airport. She says she was given multiple reasons including conflict of interest, trespassing and the fact that her pamphlets named WestJet specifically.

As a result, Lewis drafted a letter to YVR which states her desire to “work together to identify a way (she) can exercise (her) expression in this issue at the airport.”

“It is troubling to me that YVR personnel would remove community members who are peacefully and quietly expressing support for sexual assault survivors and challenging systemic sexism,” the letter says.

A spokesperson from YVR told the News they weren’t aware Lewis would be at the airport, adding they encourage her to be in touch with the operations team if she plans to campaign at the airport again. Lewis indicated in her letter that she would like to return.

Rush hour bus service to increase Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

More frequent rush hour buses are on the way in Richmond, after the completion of TransLink’s Southwest Area Transport Plan (SWATP).

The 403 bus – No. 3 Road/Bridgeport Station – will increase service to every 10-15 minutes during weekday a.m. and p.m. peak periods to reduce overcrowding.

And the 402 bus – No. 2 Road/Richmond-Brighouse Station – will increase service to every 10 minutes during weekday a.m. peak to reduce overcrowding.

A more frequent service for the 403 and 402 buses will be kicking in soon.

TransLink expects to implement the improvements to seven bus routes, including those above, in 2018 and 2019.

The SWATP, which in spring of 2017 involved more than 3,200 people weighing in on the draft plan, will help TransLink pinpoint investments over the next decade.

TransLink made changes to all proposals that raised moderate to significant concerns.

The plan was developed through extensive engagement with residents and stakeholders over a two-year period.

Local governments in Richmond, Delta and Tsawwassen First Nation support TransLink’s implementation of the plan.

“This plan charts a clear course for investments to improve and enhance every part of our transportation network,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a statement.

“The success of our city is closely tied to the ease with which residents and goods can get around, and this puts us on a strong path.”

COMMUNITY A Canada Line car undergoing maintenance in the TransLink yard in north Richmond.

Canada Line boost Cecilia Hua RICHMOND NEWS

Canada Line trains will run more frequently during peak hours, when 24 new cars are added to the system by 2020.

Instead of the current three minutes and 20 seconds between trains during peak hours, they will arrive 50 seconds sooner — a 30 per cent increase in frequency.

Other changes include an improved air-conditioning system and retractable seats in the front of the trains to maximize standing room during peak hours.

In preparation for the arrival of the new trains, TransLink will also be building four more train tracks, which will be used as storage, at the Canada Line operations and

maintenance centre in Van Horne Way in north Richmond.

The 24 new cars, which will make up 12 trains, were ordered from South Korean company, Hyundai Rotem, costing $88 million.

The budget for the track building is around $23.5 million, and is funded by both the federal and provincial governments.

Although the appearance of the new trains will remain the same, TransLink spokesperson Chris Bryan said the new additions will “prevent overcrowding and increase ridership.”

“Overcrowding on the (trains) and platforms has always been an issue,” said Bryan.

“Our new trains will bring faster service and a more frequent timetable.”

In 2017, Canada Line ridership reached 46 million boardings, a 6.3 per cent increase from the year before.

Market rental housing kicks in Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

With less than a one per cent vacancy rate and as Richmond continues to fine-tune its housing policies, the city, on Monday, approved a market rental housing policy.

As a result of this low vacancy rate, city staff argued that all rental stocks — not just lowincome or social housing units — need to be protected and that the supply of rental units needs to increase.

In other words, while the city’s previously approved affordable housing strategy responded to below market rental housing, this new policy would address housing that is rented out at market rates.

“Approximately 82 per cent of renter households (approximately 15,500 households) find accommodation in the secondary rental market,” said a city report from November.

“The secondary rental market includes condominiums, single-family houses, secondary suites, coach houses and subsidized rental housing. The secondary rental market is an important part of the rental market in Richmond. As such, staff are looking at ways to

better understand this segment of the market and how redevelopment proposals (particularly of older housing stock) may impact it. “ Following the report, the city conducted a consultation process with stakeholders and the public earlier this year to gather feedback on a market rental housing policy.

As a result, policies that will be implemented include encouraging building owners to keep units in good repair and creating incentives for market rental housing developments such as density bonuses, decreased parking requirements and fast-tracking permits.

Another key policy was to ensure there would be more family-sized units created, particularly because 40 per cent of Richmond’s renters are families with children. As a result, staff are proposing that new multifamily developments be encouraged to have a minimum of these “family-friendly units.”

According to the staff report from November, the market rental housing policy will “encourage housing units that rent at market rates for tenants, with no restrictions on income levels” and “also seek to encourage developers and investors to build new market rental units as these are an important part of Richmond’s housing continuum.”

Soccer fans run gamut of emotions Cecilia Hua & Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

There was cheering, screaming, clapping, howls of disgust and, in the end, a few tears, as well.

For the vast majority of the soccer-mad fans packed into Davood’s tiny bar/bistro in Steveston on Wednesday lunchtime, the whole gamut of emotions was run through.

We say “majority,” as all bar three were roaring on the “Three Lions” of England in their nail-biting World Cup semi-final against Croatia.

The solitary Croatian, Frenchman and Scotsman were conspicuous in their presence, yet largely anonymous when the late equalizing goal for Croatia — and it’s ultimate winner in extra time — went in.

Random people from the street were trying desperately to get into the packed café to see what all the fuss was about, as the match swung to and fro, much like the mood of the England fans.

In the end, it was a tale of ecstasy and yet more agony for the long-suffering fans of England, whose 52-year wait for World Cup glory continues.

“We will get it for sure and England won’t let the game go into penalty kicks,” said Steveston’s best-known Englishman Iain Mackelworth, owner of Steveston Barbers,

before the game kicked off.

When the referee ended England’s hopes after 120 minutes of pulsating soccer, a disappointed Mackelworth said his team has played “brilliantly” in the first half, not so much in the second, before lambasting the referee as being “terrible.”

Despite usually supporting Germany, host Davood Khatami said he was more than happy to basically turn his bistro into the England fans’ headquarters in Steveston.

Khatami said he’s now sold out for space for Sunday morning’s World Cup Final, which will see England’s victors Croatia face off against favourites France.

500 plush pandas are the stars of a summer-long exhibit at Aberdeen Centre, with the origami creatures ranging up to 10-feet tall. Cecilia Hua photo

RICHMOND NEWS

Pandaland, an exhibit featuring 500 plush baby panda bears and a family of nine, giant origami paper pandas, has arrived at Aberdeen Centre.

Located in the mall’s central atrium, the summer-long display is completed with bamboo groves and lily ponds to mimic the panda bears’ natural habitat.

“The panda is such an iconic animal and it’s very well received,” said Joey Kwan, Aberdeen’s director of public relations.

“It bridges the East and the West, that’s why I’ve decided to choose it as the theme of the display.”

Kwan has been planning and organizing Aberdeen’s exhibits since 2007.

“I wanted to put on something fun for the kids, but also include educational factors,” added Kwan.

Hidden among the bamboo trees is a little red panda.

Visitors are encouraged to spot him and upload a picture to Instagram with #Aberdeen-

Alongside the display are signs with interesting panda facts such as pandas can poop up to 40 times a day and leave up to 60 pounds of droppings.

From July 3 to 14, Hong Kong artist Mitchell (Kit Mei) Hung will be present on-site to create live sketches of the pandas; her paintings will be displayed in the corridors of the mall.

Pandaland took more than a month of planning and construction; the baby panda bears were ordered from the United States and the origami sculptures were created entirely by hand and range from three to 10 feet tall.

According to Kwan, after the exhibit ends, all the plush baby pandas will be donated to the Richmond Christmas Fund for children from low-income families.

There are also 12 collectible panda bear figurines for shoppers who spend $15 or more at any Aberdeen Centre merchant, restaurant or food court locations.

When R&R meets Chinese opera and guzheng, as well as rock band instruments, such as guitar, bass and drums.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

“As much as I love western culture, I love my Chinese culture too.

There’s got to be a way to bring them together.

This is the story in Tale of Eastside Lantern, a musical that aims to combine elements from Western rock music with Chinese opera. It will be presented by a local band called Son of James on the stage of a CBC studio.

“When I was young, my mom would play Chinese opera music and videos. It was always around me. I grew up listening to the music here but I’ve always been in love with Chinese opera,” said Wong.

“But I’ve found Chinese opera is too out of date for people of my generation. So I think this will be a

“People love it, because it’s different; it’s relevant, especially in this city where we have a lot of people like me, who are Chinese Canadians; in the middle of the two cultures,” said Wong.

What would you do if you were visited by a “ghost” from ancient times who asked you to help her find her murderer in Vancouver’s Chinatown?

Shon Wong, founder of the band, told the Richmond News he has carried the passion for Chinese opera from his grandfather, who was a professional performer of this traditional form of music in China before moving to Richmond.

To learn more about opera, Wong joined the Vancouver Cantonese Opera company to do a couple of shows, to see how they do the make-up, the process, the story and the staging.

Then he wrote his own show about a Chinatown man and a “ghost,” which was endorsed by the company and his band members.

“The ‘ghost’ is a Chinese opera actress. Anything she does, she will introduce in opera form, and sings

and speaks in Chinese. The western character, however, will sing and talk in English. They don’t understand each other, and that’s part of the story,” he said.

“The man goes to Chinatown to find the murderer, and at the same time, we want to teach people about the history of Chinatown as well as telling the story,” added Wong, whose dad, James, grew up in Vancouver’s Chinatown.

The live music is played by the eight members of the band in a mix of Chinese and western styles, with Chinese traditional instrument erhu

“I identify myself as a Chinese, because I am, and our history is very, very rich. I don’t think there are a lot of people in the city who understand how great our culture is. Many people are trying to be ‘white’ and forget who they are.”

Wong said it’s time to show people “when you put these two cultures together in an artistic way, it creates something very, very beautiful.

“I hope people will have a chance to see there is more to Chinese people than just bad driving,” Wong laughed.

Son of James will present Tale of the Eastside Lantern in CBC studio 700 at 7 p.m. on July 28. For more information, check EastsideLantern.

Give city’s ferry a go RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s Toys R Us store has been saved, along with 81 other locations across Canada, after the company split from its U.S. umbrella.

As the population grows apace in Richmond and people complain about the increasing traffic, one company is shifting its attention to a business opportunity in the waters surrounding the city.

This week, Toys R Us Canada announced a successful takeover by Canadian firm Fairfax Financial Holdings ltd., securing 82 stores, including the one in Lansdowne Centre and more than 4,000 employees.

Richmond Harbour Ferry, a new company launched by a couple of local residents, is planning to build the city’s own private pedestrian-only ferry system, and is asking the community to join in the effort.

Farinha aims to offer a ferry service where people can go to work, get their groceries, go to different pubs, parks and community centres by the river when they don’t want to drive their car.

“And in the summertime, to be on the water is a lifestyle. We want to show people the wildlife, to bring them on to the river, to see swans, beavers, seals, otters...The fun on the river is spectacular,” he added.

The proposed ferry route will start from Starlight Casino in New Westminster, and stretch across the North Arm of the Fraser River going over to the River Rock Casino, then north to Iona beach, and finally back south to hit the Olympic Oval.

“We chose that because it’s a hugely demanding route. There’s so much new development here but no way for people to get around. [The ferry] is a nice way to link all these places together,” said Farinha.

Bridges Marina, a Richmond-based, family owned boat construction company, will build eight to 10 30-feet long ferries that are able to carry up to 30 passengers, according to Paul Palmer, the company’s president.

Ferries will depart regularly throughout the day all year round, and passengers can bring their pets, bikes and wheelchairs on board. And a “smart” system will make sure that the ferries can be

Last week, the American wing of the toy company closed the last of its stores, leaving behind a heartfelt farewell message on its website: “Thanks to each of you who shared your amazing journey to (and through) parenthood with us…Promise us just this one thing: don’t ever grow up. Play on!”

Roberto Farinha (Far right), founder of Richmond Harbour Ferry, works with president of Bridges Marina Paul Palmer (third left) and his staff to build Richmond’s private pedestrian ferry system. Daisy Xiong photo tracked and called using a ferry app, he added.

“We have just finished the design stage and will start construction soon.

Hopefully we will have some ready this year,” said Palmer.

“It’s like the ferry in Vancouver Harbour, but our one will be bigger, because the water in the river is more violent, so we need more power for getting up the river, and boats that provide safety to people.”

For Farinha, the construction of the ferries might be the easiest part of the whole project. The challenge right now is to persuade more people in the community to join the game.

“It is a community business and it is based on community effort,” said Farinha.

“My company will provide the initial capital, with subsidies from Bridges Marina, and we are looking for more subsidies from developers that potentially will benefit from the ferries.”

He plans to discuss a partnership with stakeholders, such as the two casinos, developers, pubs and McArthurGlen Designer Outlet.

“Our goal is to subsidize at least 50 per cent of the cost and make the service affordable to passengers,” said Farinha.

Another challenge is to make sure there are enough docks along the way to pick up and drop off passengers, which is not an easy task.

“There are a variety of different people

who have water lots licences along the waterfront, which would include the city... port, commercial marina operators and others,” noted Ted Townsend, spokesperson for the City of Richmond.

“Anyone who wanted to access an existing dock would have to negotiate with the water lot licence holder for access.”

Toys R Us Canada, on the other hand, announced that it’s “alive and well” after eight months of bankruptcy protection.

Melanie Teed-Murch, president of Toys R Us and Babies R Us Canada, will be going on a two-month nationwide tour to promote the company’s plans under its new owner.

“It is our number one priority to get our message out that there is a business here,” Teed-Murch told the Financial Post.

He said the city cannot accommodate commercial use on any of Richmond waterfront property at this time, partly because some of its water lot licences are granted by the province and do not permit commercial uses.

“The proponent’s best option would be to approach existing commercial marina operators and or Port and Harbour Authorities, along the river to seek access to existing dock space,” said Townsend.

“Once they secure dock sites, our economic development staff could work with them to assist in facilitating any regulatory approvals required and connecting with local tourism stakeholders to help raise awareness about their service.”

Although the project is still up in the air, Farinha has drawn a nice picture of the ferries in Richmond.

“There will be a captain who is a retired sailor or fisherman, having so many stories about the river to tell…

And we will have different themes, such as a Chinese New Year theme when we will put lanterns up,” he said.

Dolphin a summer classic NUMBERS

BY THE

33rd annual outdoor hoop tourney starts Friday at South Arm keep the Classic going with plenty of additional help these days.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Bruce Watson, Bira Bindra, TJ Johal and Tony Wong-Hen always find time in their busy lives to ensure a summer hometown tradition lives on.

UBC standout Grant Shephard put on a show during last year’s slam dunk contest at the Dolphin Park Classic

It was back in 1986 when the Steveston High grads got together with their cross-town rivals at Richmond High for an impromptu 4-on-4 basketball tournament at a tiny neighbourhood park on Dolphin Avenue — just north of Francis and Garden City Roads. Little did they realize one of the city’s best sporting events was born.

“To me, it’s a reunion wrapped around a basketball tournament and that is what makes it so much fun,” explained Watson who always books a week of holidays before the event to make sure everything is organized. “The basketball is fantastic but it’s the social aspect that I really enjoy and I think keeps everyone coming back.

“There are people I may not talk to for a year but I know I’m going to get a chance to catch up with them at Dolphin.”

Watson is quick to praise the support of the city — led by the efforts of the tireless and ever-popular Paul “Sammy” Morizawa. This will be year three for the tournament at South Arm and the support of community centre staff Steve Mahon and Kevin Cromie has been tremendous.

Decades and two venues later, the Dolphin Classic features some of the top men’s and women’s hoop talent in the province presented a festive atmosphere — complete with food trucks, a beer garden and music.

Watson also singled out the work of Richmond Youth Basketball League (RYBL) coordinator Jessy Dhillon who runs a junior tournament that has become part of the Classic’s schedule and does much more. Another unsung hero is longtime player and supporter Steve Lee who helps out with the scheduling.

The three-day event at South Arm Park tips-off on Friday night and concludes Sunday with the women’s title game at 5 p.m., the popular slam dunk and three-point contest at 6 p.m. and the men’s final at 7:30 p.m. The forecast for spectacular summer weather should ensure big crowds throughout the weekend.

The Classic is also constantly evolving and this year welcomes the 13th annual Rally Rai Memorial Touch Football Tournament which will be taking place on the adjacent grass fields.

These days, the Dolphin co-founders are getting pulled in many directions with their family demands, jobs and other interests. Three of them no longer live in Richmond and it would be easy to say it’s time to pass the event onto someone else after 33 years. However, there is no certainty “someone else” is waiting.

The tournament raises money for a bursary named after Rai, a former standout athlete at Richmond High.

It had taken place in recent years at King George Park but now two terrific events have come together.

Just look what has happened to the now-folded football program at Hugh Boyd following the retirement of iconic coaches Bill and Bruce Haddow after 40 years.

“It’s a great event but at a smaller scale than us. There is a real crossover with a lot of the same people involved so we thought it would be a real good fit,” added Watson.

Fortunately, the passion continues to burn for these Packer grads to

Provincial podium finish for U14 Strikers It wasn’t the medal they were striving for but the Richmond Strikers still capped an outstanding season on the podium at B.C. Soccer’s Provincial “A” Cup Championships.

The U14 girls side concluded their lengthy campaign with a 3-1 victory over Kelowna United on Sunday morning at the Boyd Oval.

The Strikers were the lone host side competing in the fourday event that featured 48 boys and girls teams in divisions U13 to U18 battling for B.C. bragging rights.

Richmond was looking to complete the rare treble after earlier winning the Metro Selects League regular season title, then capturing the Coastal Cup back in May with a win in penalty kicks over the West Vancouver Rangers.

Those two Lower Mainland rivals met again to open Provincial Cup play on Thursday morning and it was the Rangers prevailing this time — 2-1.

With the Victoria Thunder getting past Kelowna 4-0 in the other opening day match-up, it meant the Strikers were in a must-win situation on Friday against the Vancouver Island champions. The Thunder squeezed out a 1-0 win while West Van got past Kelowna 2-0 — also securing a spot in the final.

Those results meant the Strikers would face Kelowna on consecutive days to close out the tournament. After a convincing 5-1 win on Saturday, they followed that result with the bronze medal triumph less than 24 hours later.

The Strikers roster features: Makayla Kusch, Alexandra Shury, Zoe Balback, Kiayra Hohlweg, Ashley Maedel, Kara Hikida, Christina Sofikitis, Janelle Tuazon-Cabido, Jaya Punia, Natalia Lawson, Mahara Remtula, Saniya Mann, Teagan Ng, Erica Forman and Ausha Kang.

The girls are coached by Mandhir Punia and Greg Ng.

Richmond rugby players earn PRC bronze will be suiting up for Simon Fraser University. Weng, Fedoruk, Ko, Wolf and Laing will be returning for their final year of junior rugby in the Fall and will factor into a talented VRU team hunting for a gold medal in 2019.

Seven Richmond athletes won bronze medals at the Provincial Regional Championships (PRC), held at the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club.

The Vancouver Rugby Union (VRU) U18 girls knocked off their Thompson-Okanagan Rugby Alliance (TORA) opponents in the bronze medal game 34-12. Winger Tjammie Ko (McMath) was the star of the match tallying four tries in the first half to pace the VRU squad.

Fullback Keelin Laing (McRoberts) played up to her usual hard-nosed reputation, making several tackles and punishing defenders with long rollicking forays into TORA territory.

In pool play, the VRU finished 3-2, losing out on a point differential tie-breaker which left them outside the gold medal game, but the squad’s depth was able to avenge a previous loss to the ThompsonOkanagan team on day one of the tournament.

Scrum half Elsie Gonzalez (McRoberts) was a calming influence throughout the weekend, directing traffic and scoring a pivotal try in pool play that allowed for the

In other divisions: Richmond RFC junior coach Al Smith guided the Vancouver South U16 boys, who featured Vinay Mudaliar (McNair) and Mark Pivko (McRoberts) and was assisted by current Richmond RFC player Lance Davison.

Vancouver Rugby Union won bronze at the Provincial Regional Championships in Burnaby. The team featured seven players from Richmond, along with coach Graham Haigh.

VRU to defeat the Fraser Valley for the first time in recent memory.

Gonzalez played nearly the entire tournament - but it was impact sub Kaylee Wolf (Richmond High) entering into the front row during the second half of several games which wore opposing teams down with her relentless crashing runs.

Nini Weng (McRoberts) was her usual dependable self, tackling opposing players behind the gain line and stealing balls at rucks and

mauls. Kate Fedoruk (McMath) whose minutes were limited during the tournament because of injury concerns, was a force in the bronze medal game, playing openside flanker and executing several crunching tackles.

Winger Jessica Wang (McRoberts) used her impressive speed and balance to withstand several high (and illegal) tackles which kept her from breaking through the defensive line on more than one

occasion, and was unlucky not to score several times throughout the tournament.

Coach Graham Haigh praised the efforts of all seven girls and noted that the future looks bright for rugby not only in the city, but in the region.

Only two of the seven medalists graduated this June.

Gonzalez will be continuing her rugby career next year at the University of Ottawa, while Wang

The U16 Vancouver Rugby Union girls team featured team captain Kyra Bates (McRoberts) and prop Brynn Waismann (McMath) and the U14 Vancouver Rugby Union girls team that finished fourth at the tournament included speedster Viki Wideski (McMath) and tactical kicker Rayya Kumar (McRoberts).

Former Hugh McRoberts standout Kapi Vaitiki was head coach of the Lower Vancouver Island U-16 boys, while former Richmond RFC women’s player Ged Griffiths coached the Vancouver South U-18 girls team which featured Alex Strandt (McMath) at lock.

ACCOUNTING/FINANCIAL OGILVIE, Jack BEAUMONT, Kathleen With her family at her side, Kathleen passed away June 28, 2018 still fighting a courageous battle with cancer, and will be sadly missed by her husband, two sons, granddaughter, five siblings, mother and a large international network of extended family, friends and colleagues.

Born in England, and arriving in British Columbia as a teen and the eldest in her closely-knit family, Kath honed her management skills at an early age. This began an illustrious career as a Facilities and University Planner in BC and beyond. A degree from UBC launched her into planning and consulting roles with architectural firms, UBC, Grace and Children’s Hospital, Simon Fraser University, Capilano University, Kwantlen, and other private and public organizations.

Her influence extended throughout the Pacific region with the Society of College and University Planners. Her fingerprints can be seen on many of our educational and health facilities.

Kathleen’s passion intensified with her committee work in planning and developing the Olympic Speedskating Oval, and after the 2010 Olympics she carried on as an Ambassador and supporter.

And she still found the desire to volunteer her skills with the Richmond Heritage Commission and other civic committees.

International travels with family and close friends fulfilled and balanced her zest for life, never in short supply.

Jack died unexpectedly on July 2, 2018 following complications of heart surgery. He was born 66 years ago in Montreal, Quebec but moved to BC when he was 5 years old. Jack grew up in Richmond and in his youth was an avid soccer and baseball player. He moved to Ladner with his family in the mid ‘90s where he has lived ever since. Jack worked in construction his whole life and was proud to be part of the Progressive/Performance team for over 40 years. He loved boating, wakeboarding and surfing, golfing, tropical winter vacations, good food and a cold Corona now and then.

He was a devoted Dad to Stephen, Tyler and Crystal, loving partner to Cathy and only brother to Sandra. He is also remembered by family (nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, cousins) in Langley, Kelowna, Montreal and the USA as well as many friends and co-workers.

Celebration of Life Sunday, July 22, 2018, 1:30 pm at Tsawwassen Springs Golf Course. Instead of flowers, please consider a donation in memory of Jack to BC Children’s Hospital, Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC, Delta Hospice Society (Bereavement Services) or a charity of your choice.

Fond memories memories linger Fond linger every every day, day, Remembrance keeps them near.

Remembrance keeps them near.

FUNERAL SERVICES

A celebration of Kathleen’s life will be held at the UBC Boathouse, 7277 River Road, Richmond BC, on Tuesday July 24, 10:30 am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Richmond Hospital Foundation, Cancer Clinic and Palliative Care Centre, or the BC SPCA. ...
