Getting bigger but not better

10 NEWS Council votes to look into increasing rental quota in city centre development 29 COMMUNITY Soccer team kicks in for Shoe Box project 32 GIVING Food Bank busier than ever 36 BUSINESS Entrepreneurs develop biodegradable straws 37 SPORTS Wildcats continuing a city high school sport tradition

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

We keep on hearing how Richmond is growing by the day, mostly up, if you look to the proliferation of high rises in the city centre core.

And as Richmond towers into the sky, the population expands with it, as does the demand for vital services, such as police, fire and healthcare.

10

5

With specific reference to the latter, the need for a new north tower at Richmond Hospital becomes more acute with the foundation laying of every new apartment block.

But while looking to the future of healthcare in Richmond, it’s important not to overlook the present and the everyday needs of its residents, particularly those in their advancing years.

After all, it’s often said a society can be judged by the way it treats its most vulnerable.

32

Case in point being our feature on page 26 where Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), which oversees Richmond Hospital, has decided to ship all cataract surgeries from Richmond to purpose-built facilities at Mount St. Joseph Hospital in East Vancouver.

As far as Richmond’s eye doctors are concerned — and as far as the Richmond News can ascertain — no consultation took place between VCH, its healthcare partners or stakeholders. And, other than saying the move is “better for patients,” it’s not clear how this is going to be “better,” given there are already 502 people on the cataract surgery waiting list in Richmond and a further 1,306 at Mount St. Joseph’s.

On the face of it, there appears to have been very little, if any, consideration given to the demographic of patients who are in need of such surgery.

29

By its nature, cataracts tend to develop with age. It’s estimated that by age 80, more than 50 per cent of individuals will have cataracts or have had cataracts surgery. And people in such infirmity also tend to have several other health issues to boot. Piling onto the stress factor isn’t going to improve their health. Quite the reverse, I’d guess.

So why move such vulnerable people, whose eyesight is already on the slide, 14 kilometres north, through congested traffic to an unfamiliar location which, for many patients, would require a bus, train, bus ordeal to get to?

The answer, according to VCH, is to “free-up operating room time…for more appropriate surgical cases.”

What can be more “appropriate” than taking care of Richmond’s senior citizens — those who’ve contributed to the community for decades — and making life as easy as possible for them when their health begins to fade?

According to one of the local eye doctors, the move stinks of “centralization,” which can usually be traced back to saving money, or “consolidation,” in corporate speak.

37

If that is the case, cataract surgeries will be a small piece in VCH’s healthcare jigsaw, when it comes to making all the budgetary parts fit.

36

But it’s a big deal for those in their twilight years, trying to solve the everyday puzzle of seeing their sight slip away.

LETTERS Thank Jack for ALR win Dear Editor: Kudos to our new council who just voted to restrict housing sizes to approximately 4,000 square feet, which is below provincial guidelines!

At the council meeting Monday, I was heartened to see a turn-around on this issue by Couns. Chak Au and Bill McNulty. It was a wonderful surprise to see these two councillors, who had previously voted against this kind of restriction, actually change their minds and vote for what is best for Richmond’s farmland.

This issue has taken up the better part of the last two years in our city. I think we need to remember who really started the campaign to restrict housing sizes on ALR land. It was Jack Trovato, a recent RCA candidate, who started both a paper petition and an online petition de-

manding that council create bylaws to restrict housing sizes.

These petitions gathered a total of 7,000 signatures, a testament to Jack’s organizing ability and his willingness to knock on doors throughout summer and fall.

The issue was also a popular topic with voters Jack met during the civic campaign.

Jack has put in an incredible number of hours talking to people, getting them to sign the petition and making presentations to city council on this issue. I just want to thank him for everything he has done to get us where we are today. I don’t think we would have been as successful if he hadn’t taken the lead on this.

A huge thank you to Jack and our new city council!

Public emergency Letters inspire drills needed Dear Editor,

Re: “Be the change in Richmond” “School of diversity,” Letters, Nov. 15.

Dear Editor While driving home, I watched as an ambulance, with both the siren blasting and lights flashing, was forced to make an unnecessarily, prolonged stop at a Richmond intersection because three vehicles, sequentially, made lefthand turns when all other vehicles were already respectfully stopped.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. When there is an emergency, every second counts. As a son who has elderly parents, I appreciate the need for emergency personnel to serve with minimal interruptions. As a community, we need to better our ability to support emergency personnel as they serve our neighbours, friends and love ones.

I hope the new city council will explore the possibility of working with first responders to introduce regular emergency vehicle evasion drills. After all, practice makes perfect. This recommendation could be cheap and effective, if implemented properly.

Furthermore, as we learned about how the wild fire has devastated California, I hope the new council will learn from the lessons of 2018 and upgrade our city’s emergency response team as soon as possible. The city needs to hire a sufficient number of police officers and fire fighters and allow all personnel to receive the much needed skill training. Our city’s investment in emergency response teams can mean the difference between tragedy and family reunification after disaster strikes.

I found two letters to the editor in the last edition of the Richmond News to be quite interesting.

“Be the change in Richmond” by Stephen Hsia offers simple yet practical ways of overcoming the so-called “cultural divide” in this community. He is right to emphasize that cultural harmony can be achieved with small acts. Meeting and greeting one’s neighbours and strangers are great ways to promote mutual respect and understanding.

Similarly, Hugh Boyd secondary teacher Michael Taylor’s letter “School of Diversity” did an excellent job in highlighting the diversity in Richmond schools and the community at-large.

I would like to commend both men for taking the time to write very thoughtful letters to the Richmond News.

Richmond, despite its problems, is a wonderful community. We should be thankful and proud to live in one of the cleanest, most well managed and multicultural communities in Canada. Rather than complaining, we should get involved in making it even better. As Michael and Stephen have articulated so well in their letters, the onus is upon each one of us to get involved in reaching out to each other. Once we start this process, we will be pleasantly surprised to find that we have so much in common. All we need is to take that first step, the rest will fall in place quickly.

Yap backs FPTP Dear Editor, There are a few days left till Nov. 30, the deadline in the referendum on electoral reform which could fundamentally change the way British Columbians choose their MLAs, from the current system of “First Past The Post” (FPTP) to a form of “Proportional Representation” (PR).

The NDP government has completely mishandled this referendum. Firstly, changing something as fundamental to our way of life as our election system should not be put in the hands of politicians but rather should belong to citizens. By making it a project of the Attorney General and the NDP cabinet, rather than having a non-partisan Citizens Assembly determining the referendum process, as was done with the 2005 referendum, the NDP has politicized the referendum, making it difficult to have a reasoned, non-partisan debate on the relative merits of FPTP versus PR. This NDP referendum is also deeply flawed in not having a minimum participation threshold, with currently about 24 per cent of ballots returned. There is also no regional threshold, meaning that a tiny part of the province or Metro Vancouver could determine the entire outcome, potentially at odds with the rest of our vast province.

a simple 50 per cent plus one vote, which is not reasonable given what is at stake here: our democracy.

We are also asked to vote on PR without 24 key details which will only be decided after the referendum should PR be selected.

We are missing details such as: How many MLAs will there be under PR? How will ridings be combined to form larger ridings under PR? How big will these PR ridings be? Under PR, MLAs will be appointed by political parties, how will this happen?

The loss of local accountability with MLAs being appointed by parties is the biggest concern of my constituents. Under the FPTP system, local voters directly determine whether an MLA is elected in each riding.

There is also the negative experience of PR jurisdictions with so many examples around the world of political instability that comes with perpetual minority governments.

Given the flawed process, the loss of local MLA accountability with PR, the history of political instability in PR jurisdictions, the potential for extremist parties to have MLAs appointed and the missing information on how PR would work, I encourage voters to stick with our current First Past the post system.

They will find you; they will arrest you and take you before a judge to answer for your actions.

City’s logic baffles Dear Editor, It amazes me that Richmond city council turns a blind eye to illegal hotels, illegal casinos, illegal ride sharing.

Yet, when there is a chance to collect taxes on something legal, in particular, cannabis stores, the powers that be say “no”.

Go figure!

Tree chopping a bad precedent for council Dear Editor, I walked my dog recently in my neighborhood (Westwind) and saw that on Woodpecker Street there was a 48-hour tree cut-down notice which said the tree’s roots would be compromised when the driveway next to the tree was fixed.

So, in anticipation of this, the city is cutting down this mature and healthy tree in a street of mature and healthy trees: probably one of a handful remaining in such streets in the city.

Money and IQ

Money and finance are an important part of our lives. Last weekend in the Globe & Mail newspaper, a story appeared about a survey commissioned by the Financial Planning Standards Council (FPSC). Over 1,100 Canadians participated. Forty percent said that money was their greatest stress and half of the participants said they were embarrassed about the lack of control over their finances. More than half felt pressure to “keep up” with their friends’ financial status.

The result? Emotional stress, as you can imagine. Dr. Moira Somers, of Australia, is a Clinical Neuropsychologist specializing in mental and financial well being. She says that worrying about finances uses brainpower and the prolonged stress is not only exhausting but can even cause temporary reductions in IQ (presumably, this can affect work performance). Among the solutions she advises on are: • Informing yourself on financial issues • Discuss the issues with a financial planner (and family members) • Try to create a plan I would think that by not dealing with finances in some organized way, persons create stress for themselves. Not taking some steps prolongs the stress. Regardless what is your financial situation, you are probably doing yourself a favor by getting some advice.

Driver flees after dragging officer Alyse Kotyek RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond RCMP are seeking the public’s help to locate a suspect after an officer was dragged by a vehicle during a traffic stop on Sunday morning.

Around 9:30, a Mountie stopped a suspicious vehicle near No. 3 Road and Steveston Highway. After the officer approached the vehicle, the driver fled and dragged the officer with him, causing significant injuries.

mond detachment to express their wellwishes for the officer.

“We’re so overjoyed that people reached out to us,” he said. “It really helps us.”

As of Wednesday, Richmond RCMP and other local law enforcement are still looking for a four-door, dark coloured, late model Mercedes Benz. It is believed the vehicle has tinted windows and a black interior.

There may be damage to the driver’s side of the vehicle or a crack on its windshield.

“Still be on the lookout for that vehicle,” Hwang said.

The officer was taken to hospital following the incident but has since been discharged and is now recovering at home.

“It might have been dumped somewhere or somebody might have seen it, something unusual or might have seen it in an area where it might not normally belong.”

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dennis Hwang told the Richmond News that people from around the world reached out to the Rich-

According to the provincial insurance corporation, approximately 150,000 crashes occurred in parking lots last year, resulting in 5,400 injuries. ICBC says the majority of mall parking lot crashes occur in December on Fridays and Saturdays.

Richmond has certainly had its fair share of mall parking lot incidents, including last month at Yaohan Centre when a widely circulated video showed a white SUV hitting another vehicle, mounting the curb, bursting through some bushes and narrowly avoideing a pedestrian.

“Although some mistakenly believe that driving in parking lots is ‘safer’ due to lower travel speeds, drivers need to continue practicing their safe driving habits, even in parking lots,” says ICBC in a press release.

ICBC driving tips include: Staying off your phone; keep to your lane; back into a parking stall so your car is facing outwards; park away from high traffic areas; slow down; be alert; apply “a bit of holiday cheer, be courteous and have a bit more patience.”

Council ponders upping rental quota Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

A majority of Richmond councillors agreed to look into having 200 market rental units in the Richmond Centre redevelopment project, which is 10 per cent of the total number of units and is double from what is proposed by the developer.

Coun. Harold Steves put forward the proposal and all other councillors, except Alexa Loo, voted in favour of it at Monday’s public hearing. Staff will present the application, with updated information, at the next public hearing regarding the development on Dec. 17.

The Richmond Centre South Redevelopment Plan will add 2,100 new dwellings in roughly a dozen new towers between No. 3 Road and Minoru Boulevard. Developer GBL Architects originally proposed including 100 market rental units and 150 affordable rental units in this project.

A number of residents spoke to council Monday night, saying the project is an opportunity to address Richmond’s housing crisis. Resident John Roston pressed council to set the quota for market rental units at about 50 per cent.

He noted that Richmond could make use of the new provincial legislation that gives municipalities the power to require a certain amount of market rental housing in new developments.

“The time is right. We have the provincial and federal government in line. It happened 40 years ago with co-op housing, and now we have another chance,” she said.

“You can decide how many rental units you want...Richmond citizens have voted in a new council that promised to do something for the housing crisis, and it is time to vote on that promise,” said Roston.

However, Loo said it is unfair to force new rules on an application that was put in three years ago and said that council should accept the deal offered by the developer.

He said the development should include 1,000 market rental units — about half of the total number of units — and have 80 per cent of them as multi-bedroom familyfriendly units. Currently, only 40 per cent of the market rental units have to be familyfriendly.

Coun. Michael Wolfe agreed that council should use the “new tool from the province” to ask for more market rental units.

“All of us who did the election campaign and listened to speakers know that this is not enough. We need more rental units; we can’t continue on the path we are on right now.”

De Whalen, chair of the Richmond Poverty Response Committee, asked council to “demonstrate the need to prioritize affordable housing over market purchase housing.

“I love the idea of more rental...but I don’t think you can change the game this close to the finishing line,” said Loo. “It’s a moving goal post. The developer came in knowing what the rules were at the time, and they were required to do more and more things when there were new requirements. This is a dangerous game we are playing,” she added.

cil to continue its vigilance to keep having more (market rental) units in Richmond.”

I love the idea of more rental... but I don’t think you can change the game this close to the finish line.

This was echoed by Coun. Bill McNulty, who said the project had been delayed long enough and council shouldn’t “hammer one developer.

“I think we have a very good offer on the table... This will be a strong start for coun-

However, Coun.

Kelly Greene said council has been so concerned about being fair to the developer, but “it needs to be fair to the people of Richmond, too.

“I’d like to look into options of having 25 or 50 per cent of market rental units, particularly for a development of that size.”

However, both Wolfe and Greene ultimately voted in favour of the 10 per cent quota.

Steves told the Richmond News after the meeting that he thinks 10 per cent of market rental units is a good number for this project.

“(Some people) might be disappointed by 10 per cent, but we’ve got a lot of development going on in the city centre, so we have lots of opportunities to increase the amount of housing,” said Steves.

“In the future, we might want 10 per cent each for the market rental units and affordable units in all the other developments coming along.”

What could Richmond look like with PR? Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

With only eight days left for B.C. residents to return their ballots in the electoral reform referendum, Richmond News interviewed Nick Loenen, a former Richmond councillor and MLA, and co-founder of a proportional representation (PR) advocacy group Fair Voting BC. We asked him what Richmond would look like under a PR electoral system.

Loenen said if the electoral system was switched to PR, instead of having all four MLAs from the BC Liberal Party, even though the majority of Richmondites did not vote Liberal, Richmond might have two Liberal MLAs, one NDP and one Green.

“If you look at the last (provincial) election, we have four Richmond MLAs and all four are Liberal. But in fact, 52 per cent didn’t vote Liberal,” said Loenen.

Depending on which PR option is chosen, it is possible Richmond will share some MLAs with a neighbouring region, and they might come from different parties, he added.

“The purpose of a PR system is to make the makeup of the legislature be exactly the way people voted.”

Of the three PR systems, Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) is the most well-known, Loenen told the News. It’s used in Germany, New Zealand and parts of the UK, while variations of it are used in most Scandinavian countries.

“How (MMP) would work is, you will have two votes. The first vote is for a strictly local candidate. That one will be probably exactly the way we do today – you get to choose one candidate only,” said Loenen.

Former MLA and city councillor, Nick Loenen, advocates for electoral change. Photo submitted Victoria, said Loenen.

Rural Urban Proportional Loenen explained that the Rural Urban Proportional option would be a combination of Mixed Member Proportional in the rural areas and Single Transferable Vote (STV) in urban areas.

The STV system allows for a “preferential vote,” where voters rank the candidates.

“If their first choice is not elected, their second choice will be counted in a certain proportion, so their vote is not wasted,” he said.

The purpose of a PR system is to make the makeup of the legislature be exactly the way people voted.

In this system, Richmond will still have four seats. But unlike the current system in which there are four separate ridings each with one MLA, there would be one riding with four MLAs, similar to city council.

“It will use a preferential ballot so the chance to elect four MLAs from the same party in Richmond is almost zero,” he said.

Dual Member ProporAs is the case with our curtional rent system, the candidate who gets the most votes wins the As for the Dual Member Proseat for that riding, although portional (DMP), Richmond’s NICK LOENEN four existing ridings will be the riding would probably be bigger than it is now.

Most people don’t need to give bone marrow anymore.”

The best chance of a match comes from people of the same ethnicity, but anyone can be a match. As of 2015, Southeast Asians, including people of Filipino descent, form less than two per cent of Canada’s database, and Canada does not access donors registered in the Phillipines.

Each year, the Richmond Christmas Fund assists individuals and families who lack the financial means to celebrate the holidays. The 2018 edition of the program is scheduled to run over four consecutive Saturdays, beginning Nov. 24.

Operated by Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG), the Christmas Fund is non-religious and fully inclusive.

“The Christmas Fund is a grassroots, community-driven program,” said Ed Gavsie, president and CEO of RCRG. “The vast majority of our donations come from regular Richmond residents and businesses, who simply want to brighten the holidays for their neighbours in need.”

On each of the four Saturdays, Christmas Fund registration will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Richmond Caring Place, 7000 Minoru Boulevard.

On the same day they register, clients will receive grocery vouchers — up to four per household, while daily supplies last — and, if they have children, will be able to select gifts from the Christmas Fund Toy Room. Teenagers between 13 and 17 years old will receive gift cards.

“In 2017, our service delivery numbers increased by 25 per cent, to over 2,100 people,” added Gavsie.

COMMUNITY Hansen shares words of wisdom

Richmond’s own Rick Hansen visited Burnett secondary (above) last week to share some inspiring words with Grade 9 students.

Hansen’s niece, Alexis Moore, is completing her teacher practicum at Burnett and was able to arrange the talk while her uncle was in town.

Hansen is known for his Man in Motion Tour, where he traversed 34 countries and covered 40,000 kilometres by wheelchair between 1985 and 1987.

Wennie Walker, principal at Burnett, remembers when he started the tour wheeling away from Oakridge Centre in Vancouver.

“With the world watching him begin his journey, he knocked his box

off the top of the camper (that was on the tour) … But it shows even if you have made a mistake at beginning, you keep on going because you believe in your dream,” she said.

Now, through the Rick Hansen Foundation, Hansen champions inclusivity and accessibility for all Canadians.

Moore said Hansen was a great role model to have growing up, and wanted to bring him in to so he could meet younger kids and share some helpful messages with them.

“It’s inclusivity of people with disabilities, but also how can you be more inclusive with other students and people in your life in general,” she said.

The Richmond Society for Community Living RSCL hosted its 10th Annual Benefit of Possibilities last week at the River Rock Casino Resort. More than 200 people helped raise almost $25,000 for the charity. Photos submitted.

Patients rage over surgery move to Vancouver for appointments and surgeries.

Alan Campbell

“My guess is it’s a centralization model.

But I’m not aware of any more resources being made available at Mount St. Jospeh’s, so I’m not sure how this is going to help?”

RICHMOND NEWS

Patients and health care professionals are expressing outrage over a decision to transfer all cataract eye surgeries out of Richmond to Vancouver.

The doctor said his patients’ eyesights are “worsening all the time.”

“Some of them have family members that could drive them to Vancouver, but many do not. It’s going to be a real problem for our patients.”

Richmond Hospital-based eye doctors and their patients learned about the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) switch last week, which will directly affect hundreds of mainly elderly people in the city with failing sight.

The doctor said he heard a rumour a few weeks ago but that none of his colleagues have been “given any direction at all on what to tell people; there’s been absolutely no consultation.

Without any consultation, VCH informed the three ophthalmologists at the hospital that cataract surgeries would, from Jan. 2, 2019, be carried out 14 kilometres away in purpose-built cataract procedure rooms at Mount St. Joseph’s Hospital in East Vancouver.

“They should have at least gone through the waiting list here first. This was totally out of the blue and shows a complete disregard for the patients’ wellbeing.”

VCH told the Richmond News the move is being done to “create a better experience for patients and to free-up operating room time in Richmond for more appropriate surgical cases.”

However, with more than 500 people already on the waiting list in Richmond for the surgery — and another 1,306 on a similar list for Mount St. Joseph’s — it’s not clear to anyone on the front line how the decision will be good for patients.

“We’re all very frustrated. This concerns a very vulnerable portion of the community,”

The doctor added that a small minority of his patients just want to get the surgery done, no matter where it is.

Richmond residents (from left) Donna Erikson, Alan Rees, Bernice Zietlow and Manuel Pinto are outraged at all cataract eye surgeries moving to Vancouver, without any warning. The four are among hundreds of Richmondites either waiting to have the eye surgery or requiring it soon. Alan Campbell photo said one of the Richmond-based eye doctors, who asked not to be named.

“Most of the people that need this kind

of surgery are in their elderly years and, as such, have underlying health conditions and barriers to getting around, especially

“Those are the ones with family support,” he said.

“But I’d say 80 to 90 per cent want their surgery in Richmond. They pay their taxes in Richmond, they think they’re entitled to have surgery such as this carried out here.

“Richmond is only going to get bigger and bigger. And if you live long 27 enough, you’re likely going to

We need to take care of people in Richmond: Senior 26 once,

need cataract surgery at least maybe twice.”

Patients upset Upon hearing of the move, a whole host of Richmondites affected contacted the News to vent their feelings.

Manuel Pinto, 75, who was a realtor for 33 years, has been on the waiting list for cataract surgery since March.

Manuel Pinto, 75, was ‘shocked’ to hear cataract surgeries were being moved to Vancouver.

He first noticed his right eye getting blurry last year, and it’s been getting worse as the months progress.

“I was shocked,” Pinto said of the news. “I don’t understand why the hospital would do this with so many older people living in Richmond and it being so big.

“I was initially told six months to a year (to wait) and I said ‘OK.’ “I can still drive right now, but who knows for how much longer.”

Bernice Zietlow, who’s in her 80s, hasn’t had cataract surgery yet, but she knows she will need it very soon.

“About a year ago, I started to get some blurriness in my left eye,” said Zietlow, who has been seeing one of the eye doctors at Richmond Hospital

“Richmond has changed so much since I moved here,” said Rees, who has had laser eye surgery for damage to his retina.

Welshman Alan Rees, a retired journeyman glazier who will turn 70 next month, has worked and lived all over the world — including London, the U.S. and Aus-

Alan Rees, almost 70, says Richmondites deserve to be treated better.

“We need to be able to take care of people right here in Richmond. It needs to be addressed to be able to cater to the needs of the community. It should be made a priority.

“The people of Richmond deserve to be taken care of properly. There is money being spent on much less important things.”

Dewey Lodewyk, 76, is on the waiting list and is aghast at the thought of his place in line being thrown into the pot with the 1,306 waiting at Mount St. Joseph’s.

“It’s terrible. We have a hospital here; we seem to get the short end of the stick all time,” said Lodewyk, a retired Air Canada customer service agent, whose eyesight started to go in the “last year or two.”

“They will be able to offer pre- and post- surgical care at their offices in Richmond,” said the spokesperson via email.

No response was given to the News’ questions on whether or not any consultation took place with any stakeholders, such as doctors or patients, with regard to the change.

It was also not made clear how the waiting lists at the two hospitals would be merged.

According to the BC Surgery Wait List website, there are 21,784 people across B.C. waiting for cataract surgery.

“We’ve lived here for 15 years and the city is growing all the time. It would be a real problem for me (getting to Vancouver appointments), as my wife doesn’t like driving that much, especially to Vancouver.”

Successful leaders have the skills to guide organizations on the right path. Such men and women are often the first up for promotions, and routinely relied on for critical projects.

Below are some of the qualities that make strong workplace leaders.

Communication Being able to communicate effectively with all of the people in your work environment and beyond is one of the most essential leadership skills you can possess. Honest communication can build trust and being open to feedback can ensure that everyone is working toward a common goal. Effectively communicating means knowing when to speak and when to listen.

Self-management It can be challenging to manage or oversee others if you can’t effectively take charge of your own tasks. Being able to self-manage involves gaining control and prioritizing goals and actions. However, it also extends to being able to manage emotions, recognize weaknesses and strengths and focus attention where it’s needed.

Integrity Great leaders are trusted by others. Consistently acting with decorum and respect and delivering on your promises will inspire oth-

ers to trust you. Stick to your core beliefs and values.

Confidence Effective leaders have the confidence to make decisions and stand by them. Note that there is a fine line between assertive confidence and being boastful or cocky. It may take a little while to develop the right balance that encourages others to support your efforts.

Delegation Delegating tasks is not a sign of weakness.

In fact, it is a quality consistently found in strong leaders. Being able to delegate means you have the confidence in others to share responsibilities based on their skill sets. Delegating also promotes teamwork and lets others know you’re not afraid to share success.

Accountability Leaders make mistakes just like everyone else. Owning your mistakes like you own accomplishments is a good trait to have. Placing blame elsewhere when it’s not warranted can diminish others’ trust in you, while taking blame when it’s due will only increase that trust in you.

Leadership skills are valued in all walks of life. Honing such skills can benefit professionals as they look to accomplish their goals and advance their careers.

Fill shoebox to help women in poverty sofas and things like that.”

Alan Campbell

Howarth said anyone wanting to contribute can decorate and fill a shoebox to the value of $50 or donate items to fill the box.

RICHMOND NEWS

Women living in poverty arenot apparent to the naked eye in Richmond, but Kathy Howarth knows they exist.

That’s why she started up the local wing of the Shoebox Project for Women last year, which collects and distributes gifts in the form of a shoebox to women who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in communities across Canada and the U.S. Each shoebox is filled with items — with a total value of $50 — that any woman can enjoy, but may not splurge on for herself in difficult times.

Last year, 207 shoeboxes were collected locally and handed over to CHIMO, Turning Point and other local programs which provide assistance to local women who are homeless or at risk of being homeless.

“I feel a kinship to other women and I felt there wasn’t enough awareness of poverty in Richmond,” said Howarth, when asked why she started up a Richmond chapter. “(Poverty) is really covered up in Richmond; I know of many women sleeping on friends’

“The support from the community (last year) was fabulous,” she added.

“People found it very simple and meaningful to have their kids help create the shoebox of gifts and with that have discussions about homelessness and challenges facing women right here in our own community.”

Suggested items to include in the box: (wrap the lid and bottom separately) socks, mitts, scarves, hats, hand-warmers; nut-free chocolate and candy (not alcohol-filled); cough drops, multivitamins; body or hand lotion; soaps; toothbrush; toothpaste; brush; comb; shampoo; nail polish; mascara; eye shadow; lipstick; lip balm; purse-sized Kleenex, small cosmetic bag; gift cards (Tim Hortons, Shoppers, McDonalds, write amount on card) The last day for collections is Dec. 9 and Richmond Girls Soccer Association will also be accepting donations at Hugh Boyd Field on Dec. 4 and 5 from 6-8 p.m., near the basketball courts.

There ain’t no turning back now

In a bid to strike something off his bucket list, reporter Alan Campbell enlisted the help of Yolanda Blommers, of Blue Meadow Farm, to learn how to ride a horse. Blommers has been using her 30 plus years of expertise to get Campbell competent in the saddle.

Alan Campbell HORSING AROUND (PART 7)

For sale: A lifelong love of horse riding.

Sold…to the author of this column.

totally under your command, breaks out of his trot and floats into a “proper canter” for the very first time.

It wasn’t easy. But few things that give long-lasting pleasure come easy and you only get out of life what you put in.

As I kicked Yetter into a canter, I tried to “engage my core” and “look ahead,” as instructed by teacher Yolanda, to stop myself lunging forward and inadvertently signaling to Yetter to put the brakes on.

I lasted for about two or three strides before Yetter felt “the alarm” and slowed to a trot.

But we went again. And again, four strides then five, then more than a length of the arena for maybe seven strides.

If I hadn’t already “bought in” before my seventh lesson at Blue Meadow, I’m certainly fully invested now, both physically and emotionally.

I think I could have kept it going for a full circuit, if I wasn’t so busy admiring myself.

All the brushing of sweat and dirt off the horse’s withers, picking the dried muck out of his hooves while he breaks wind, arranging all the saddle pads on his back and sticking your thumb in his wet gums to get him to take the bit.

When I signed off my last column mentioning the upcoming lesson was number seven, my lucky number, it was an attempt to hook people in, believing they might be looking for an ironic spill from the saddle.

And then there’s going through all the warmup exercises, learning where your hands and feet need to be, knowing where to look and mastering the art of making stupid clicking noises to keep your mount’s legs moving forward and the inevitable aching butt, thighs and “groin” area the next day.

All of it, every second of it (which I did enjoy, by the way), was more than worth its weight in gold when your horse,

This is what horse riding is all about.

Sadly, for them, it was not to be.

Before the magic canter, I had to tighten the girth and adjust the stirrup length while in the saddle (not as easy as it looks).

Then there was a “serpentine of three loops” around the arena, which was thankfully drawn out on horseback by another student from the previous lesson.

Voters are encouraged to return their completed voting package as soon as possible.

How can I Vote?

Sitting trots with guide poles on the ground were set up to help me with direction and accuracy, before the requisite posting trot, with attention to “diagonals.”

We then progressed from a single trotting pole to two poles in a row, all while looking straight ahead (not down) and in the two-point showjumping position.

Prior to the lesson, I had arrived super early, as I really wanted more time to saddle Yetter myself.

It got off to another sticky start, however, when Yetter refused blind to lift his head away from his feed.

Fair play to the old boy though. If someone came to my dinner table and tried to put a halter around my neck so they could climb on my back for an hour, they’d likely get a fork stuck where the sun doesn’t shine.

The trick, as I Alan Campbell gets set discovered, is to to trot over the poles. put the lead rope around his neck first and gently haul him away. At the saddling enclosure, I finally managed about 90 per cent of the saddling and putting on the bridle.

The same, in reverse, could be said for the unsaddling, except putting Yetter’s winter jacket on sideways, provoking a couple of disapproving stares from him.

Still to come: Cantering for an entire circuit and the finale — a small jump. I know what you’re thinking...

Need for food bank will never cease In the spirit of this time of giving, between now and Christmas, the Richmond News is featuring the work of a local non-profit. This week, we shine the spotlight on the 35-yearold Richmond Food Bank.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

There may not be a grotto and the elves are conspicuous by their absence, but the buzz reverberating around Richmond Food Bank Monday morning had a distinct Santa’s workshop vibe.

Workers from a local business, which had donated its employees’ time, were busy packing and loading produce, while teams of volunteers sorted out newly arrived donations.

The need for such a hive of activity lies in the demand from more than 1,400 people in Richmond, of all ages and ethnicities, for help with basic needs, such as food and clothing.

That need rises at this time of year, as the weather gets colder and wetter and the holiday pressure on parents to provide for their families peaks.

For the food bank’s executive director, Hajira Hussain, it’s a need she feels is highly unlikely to ever dissipate.

“I’ve been here five years and each year, the need increases; it has been going up five to eight per cent each year,” Hussain told the Richmond News, while on a coffee break with her team of volunteers.

“I don’t think that day will ever happen. Our economy continues to drive the need for people to come to the food bank.

“This year, however, our goal was to increase our perishable food offerings, so we now have a walk-in freezer, which allows us to store donations, such as chicken breasts and wings.”

celebrates the HOLY EUCHARIST this Sunday at 1:45 p.m. at Richmond Presbyterian Church, 7111 Number 2 Road, Richmond.

Hussain said Richmond is “blessed with a community that continues to care about their neighbours in need.”

said Hussain.

In terms of food donations, the greatest need right now is canned protein, such as tuna, said Hussain, which “has been running low this year.

“This is, of course, our busiest time of the year. But as the need increases, the giving also increases.”

This coming Sunday: THE SUNDAY NEXT BEFORE ADVENT

Hussain said the food bank is dealing with five to eight per cent more need every year. Alan Campbell photo

“I think that correlates with the amount of new immigrants coming into the city. This is our 35th year and I was thinking recently, will there ever be a time when there is no need for the food bank in Richmond, when we’ve done our job and we can close our doors?

TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN CHURCH SAINT SAVIOUR’S PARISH

“Without that support, we couldn’t keep this going. The community comes to us.”

Asked about the ethnic background of people coming to the food bank for help, Hussain said the organization’s different distribution locations bring different ethnicities to the table.

“In this location (Cedarbridge Way) I see a lot of Asians.

On Thursday evenings, I see a lot of families,” she said.

“In east Richmond, I see a lot of Filipinos and on Saturday, at Blundell, I see a lot of South Americans.”

Next week will be especially busy, added Hussain, explaining a group of women have knitted more than 1,500 toques and scarves, which will be handed out to each and every individual who comes to the food bank for help.

“We had to buy a lot of it. That’s where monetary donations come in.

Volunteers Margaret Comwyn and Pat Hehewerth have clocked up 25 years of volunteering between them at the food bank.

But they still come back for more.

“It’s a worthy cause and the people are just great to work with, that’s a big part of it,” said Comwyn.

“I’ve never ever been to a distribution day, however, that’s just the way my schedule works. The community really comes together here, and there’s a great giving base and volunteering base.”

Hehewerth said she just loves to be involved in the community and also volunteers in the kitchen at the St. Alban’s community meal.

“I see many refugee families coming here and to the community meals. They are so appreciative. That, I guess, makes it all worthwhile,” said Hehewerth.

“The ladies who actually knitted the items will be giving out the toques and scarves at each of our distribution centres,”

Turning sugarcane into straws “And many businesses are willing to pay a little bit extra to contribute to the environment by using eco-friendly products.”

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

The pair is now selling sugarcane straws in three different sizes shipped from Taiwanese headquarters, but plan to open their own factory locally after one year.

As more people and businesses recognize the harm of plastic straws in Canada, and with Vancouver banning them next June, some businesses are getting ready to enter the emerging market with alternative straws.

“The price will be reduced to be similar to plastic straws at that time,” said Hsu. He added that apart from straws, the technology can also be used to produce disposable products such as dishes and cups.

Two Richmond entrepreneurs said they have found a solution to provide affordable, strong and environmental-friendly straws made of sugarcane.

“We will explore options to use local materials other than sugarcane, such as blueberries, to turn local waste into valuable products,” said Hsu.

Alfie Hsu and Roger Chen are long-time businessmen in Richmond. Always interested in environmental-friendly technologies, the two, who originally came from Taiwan, learned about a new technology, developed

by Taiwanese company PFPA, to replace plastic using plant-based materials.

Chen, who owns two restaurants in Richmond, will open a new bubble tea shop in Richmond called JenJuDan, by the end of this month, which he said will use only sugarcane straws.

“The technology turns plant fiber polymer into an eco-material that can replace 60 per cent of the plastic products,” said Hsu.

Richmond entrepreneurs Roger Chen (left) and Alfie Hsu introduce sugarcane straws to Canada. Photo submitted

“We thought it was such a great technology and wanted to introduce it to Canada.

Their company, Gallop International Trading Ltd., became the Canadian distributor of Taiwan-PFPA. Hsu explained that this material looks and feels like plastic, but because it’s totally plant based, it can be broken down into water and carbon dioxide in six to eight months.

“It is now mostly made of sugarcane fiber because there are a lot of sugarcane bagasses left in the sugar making process in Taiwan, but the material can actually be made of any plant fiber,” he said.

Not long after introducing it to Canada, Hsu said many straw wholesalers in the country

have already shown their interest despite the slightly higher price.

“The plastic straws are sold for about four cents while our ones are 12 cents each. If you look at the percentage, it is a lot more, but the amount of extra money is actually not so much,” said Hsu.

“We will set an example for other businesses in the industry. We have the responsibility to care for our environment,” said Chen.

“Data shows that Canadians throw out about 57 million straws every day. It will make a big difference to the environment by using eco-straws and it’s also a great opportunity for businesses who can offer ecofriendly solutions.”

Richmond hosts Canada’s West Marketplace 2019

YVR warns of increased traffic on Black Friday

#ThriveWorldwide celebrate in Richmond

Tourism Richmond and the Richmond Hotel Association will collaborate to bring Canada’s West Marketplace (CWM) to Richmond in 2019.

Travelers heading to Vancouver International Airport (YVR) this Friday may want to leave extra early to avoid Black Friday traffic around the nearby outlet mall.

Established In 1989, the three-day, four-night business conference showcases western Canada tourism products to international and domestic tour operators and buyers.

On Nov. 23, Black Friday sales are scheduled to hit Richmond’s McArthurGlen Designer Outlet.

A travel agency that customizes vacations and makes travel arrangements for people with disabilities, seniors and slow walkers, is coming to Richmond to host an event.

“Richmond is a city where culture and character thrive, from world-class cuisine to captivating outdoor adventure,” she said.

The 32nd annual Canada’s West Marketplace (CWM) tradeshow will take place in Richmond from Nov.17 to 20, 2019.

— Daisy Xiong/Richmond News

After the mall opened in 2015, some travelers have complained about increased traffic to the airport on significant shopping days, leading them to nearly miss their flights, such as John Lumley.

“It took us 30 minutes to drive from Marine Drive and Granville Street to the cut-off to the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet mall — about two kilometres,” he said.

To avoid congestion, the airport recommends that travelers, Sea Island employees and Black Friday shoppers all take the Canada Line, if possible.

— Alyse Kotyk/Richmond News

“It’s a day to celebrate inclusion and highlight the many organizations who support people with disabilities in various ways,” said in a Travel for All press release.

“If we can normalize inclusion around the world, people will no longer be ‘different,’ – just differently-abled.

Together we can make this event historical for both Canada and the city of Richmond.”

The free event will kick off at 5 p.m. at the Ukrainian Community Centre, 5311 Francis Road, and last till 7:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to register at Eventbrite.ca. in advance.

“It was a perfect fit,” said Nancy Small, CEO of Tourism Richmond. “Having Richmond host this high-energy business conference allows us to showcase the best Richmond has to offer.”

Keeping a Richmond tradtiton alive Young Wildcats team finishes10th at field hockey provincial championships Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

TJ Sander made sure a Richmond high school tradition continued on for the past six years. Now he is about ready to pass the torch onto someone else.

The parent volunteer coach guided the McMath Wildcats to another berth into the B.C. Girls “AAA” Field Hockey Championships last week in Surrey where a young squad managed a 10th place finish in the 16-team event. The sport has a rich history in the city, including enough teams at one point for an all-Richmond League.

Since then, the McMath program has been determined to continue on, playing a handful of Vancouver schools to prepare for the post-season. The formula has an impressive track record with the Wildcats enjoying their best finishes at provincials in each of the past six years, highlighted by a fifth place result in 2017.

“My goal in coaching was to keep the program alive at McMath and build a tradition of excellence.

I think I have accomplished that,” said Sander who followed through with his initial six-year commitment to coach. Reflecting back, every team I have coached has been special in its own way.

“It’s going to be extremely tough

to walk away and I really do hope if I do end up stepping away the program stays alive at McMath. I have truly enjoyed my six years.”

Should Sander depart, he has established a core of 12 players eligible to return — including nine in Grade 10 or younger, in what might be the biggest development this season before a game was even played. Some were playing the game for the very first time.

This made qualifying for the provincials more than just routine. McMath needed a 2-1 win over Eric Hamber to earn its spot.

“This season was a rebuilding year and seeing what we accomplished was a great feat,” continued Sander. “We had a few brand new players to field hockey at tryouts and on the the team.”

Still, the team leaned on its experience, led by captain and Team B.C. player Aish Sander. She concluded her impressive high school career by scoring seven of the Wildcats’ nine goals at provincials and was a workhorse at both ends of the park.

Samantha Trueman anchored the back end and was counted on for her leadership too. Rounding out the graduating players are Emma Fedoruk, another solid contributor defensively and the always dependable Ellie Wan. Leading the underclassmen was Grade 9 standout Abby Pogor who

strong two-way play in midfield.

The team also leaned on the efforts of Isabella Schaffer, Sabrina Fata, Jessica Sewell-Sinclair, Chloe

Strikers edge Eagles in all-city V&D junior boys final thriller McRoberts Strikers are off to Kamloops this week for the B.C. Junior Boys Volleyball Tournament as twotime Vancouver and District champions.

Stephen Ng.

“During the coin flip before the fifth set, I pulled the team together to reset. I told everybody to take a deep breath and told them ‘it’s now or never... dig deep because this is what we practiced the whole year for.’”

The Strikers continued their terrific season-long battle with the Richmond Christian Eagles with a thrilling five-set victory (25-19,2624,23-25,22-25,15-8) in the final last Thursday.

“We were up 2-0 and lost the next two (sets), things were really tense on the bench,”said Strikers coach

The result came two weeks after the Eagles won the city title with a 3-1 win over the Strikers, handing them their first loss in Richmond play after a perfect 8-0 run in league action.

“The rivalry between McRoberts and RCS is alive and stronger than ever at this age group. Every match between these two has been a treat for the fans. Good luck to both teams at Provincials at Kamloops,” Ng added.

The Strikers include: Willy Billedo, Braeden Doneza, Mak Hui, Bryan Jung, Austin Kofler, Lucas Alibudbud, Egan Wong, Will Zhang, Kevin Chen, Rand Wang and Ethan Yodogawa. The boys are also coached by Sherri Frier.

Ravens deliver big win for coach Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Ravens midget rep girls hockey team produced a pair of big wins in Kamloops on the weekend.

Not only did the Ravens capture Kamloops Minor Hockey Associations’s Midget AA Tournament, they delivered the 1,000th win of AJ Sander’s remarkable career.

The 2018 Richmond Sports Wall of Fame inductee is in his 37th year of coaching minor hockey in his hometown. The first 25 were spent with Richmond Minor Hockey before Sander shifted over to take on the Richmond Girls Ice Hockey’s midget rep team back in 2008.

So how has he been keeping track of the win and loss total? Since my very first season we have been doing a year-end stat book which I give to my players,” explained

Sander, who has now coached over 1,700 games, including the last 650 with the Ravens.

His midget team has made 10 consecutive appearances at the provincial championships and reached the podium nine times. The 2018-19 edition is certainly looking like another medal contender.

After an impressive show at their own Rep Ice Classic which culminated with a loss to the San Jose AAA Sharks in the championship game, the Ravens continued their success in Kamloops.

They went unbeaten in roundrobin play with wins over Penticton (5-1), Kamloops (4-2) and Alberta’s Lloydminster Steelers (4-1).

It was then a 12-0 drubbing of Penticton in the semi-finals before an entertaining 2-1 win over Lloydminster again in the final.

“The most impressive thing right now is our balance,” noted Sander.

Richmond Midget Ravens celebrate their tournament triumph in Kamloops that also included head coach AJ Sander recording the 1,000th win of his decorated career.

“We had eight different goal scorers in that Penticton. I’m just rolling our lines and the scoring chances are coming.”

The Ravens will turn their atten-

tion back to Pacific Coast Amateur League play where they are undefeated (2-0-1) before heading to Whitby, ON for the annual Tournament of Heroes — Nov. 30-Dec. 2.

It’s a trip Sander makes every three years with his team which means each player typically gets an opportunity to attend during their stint at the Midget age level.

A near hat trick of titles for talented Wildcats Bantam team

McMath came out strong with hard serves, aggressive attacks and blocks by Kippan and Radocaj to lead the Steveston school to a convincing 25-9 and 25-17 triumph.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

The McMath Wildcats capped a remarkable season by nearly being crowned the best Grade 8 girls volleyball in the province.

An action-packed post-season schedule concluded last Saturday at Seaquam Secondary in North Delta where the Wildcats fell to Notre Dame in three sets in the championship game at the inaugural B.C. Grade 8 Girls Championships.

McMath stepped right into the tournament a day after winning the Vancouver and District Championships at Burnaby North. The intense schedule had finally taken its toll by the time the Wildcats had reached the final.

They won the first game before the Jugglers responded to win the next two, including a 15-9 result in the decisive set.

“Notre Dame’s season ended the first week of November, whereas we came off V and D’s on Thursday and ran out of gas by late Saturday afternoon,” noted McMath coach Tanya Kippan. “Three hard days in a row

Caitlin Kippan earned tournament all-star honours that saw one player from each of

the 12 teams recognized. Marina Radocaj and Maya Zawislak were equally deserving.

At the V&Ds, an opening win over Burnaby South set-up a much anticipated semi-final match with North Shore champion and unbeaten Handsworth.

The run was then completed with 25-17 and 25-18 wins over host Burnaby North — champions of the Burnaby/New West League. Zawislak scored the winning point with a great hit from the outside.

A week earlier, the Wildcats were crowned Richmond champions with a 3-1 win over host MacNeill in the final. They had earlier gone 10-0 in regular season play, dropping just one set in the process.

The girls also took their game beyond the city limits, capturing a Volleyball B.C. tournament last month then aging up to finish runner-up at a Grade 9 event held at Burnaby South. The only team standing in their way were Richmond Juvenile champion McRoberts.

The team also features: Madi Wong Brooklyn Sparolin,Millie Montgomery, Sydni Smithers-Lillis, Madeline Fernie, Anna Vorontsova, Abby Young, Marley Goodhew, Olivia Cox, Natasha Fahlman, Katie Flynn and Amelia Spiteri.

Strikers finish 5th at Gr. 9 provincials

Richmond champions also place second at Vancouver & District playoffs

McRoberts Strikers capped a tremendous season by proving they are among the top teams in B.C. The Strikers concluded a hectic 72-hour stretch with an impressive fifth place finish at the Grade 9 Provincial Championships on the weekend.

The highlighted result was a thrilling three-set victory over No. 6 Pinetree that vaulted them into the quarter-finals.

They gave it their all against Mt. Boucherie but bowed out to the powerful team from Kelowna.

The outstanding work of setter Tamara Dee earned her tournament all-star honours.

The provincials came a day after McRoberts finished second at the Vancouver and District Championships. They rallied for a come-from-behind win over Handsworth before falling to St. Thomas Aquinas in the title match.

Another highlight of the campaign was winning tournaments at Burnaby and McMath on the same weekend with team captain Catherine Yuen earning MVP honours in

both of them.

“I was very proud of how the girls improved and how they played as a team. said Strikers head coach Raymond Juco. “I’m looking forward to

Ashley Mori, Angie Sun, Jessica Tang, Amelia Vegt and Xuan Wang.

an even better season next year!”

The Strikers roster also features: Jade Juco, Kezia Kawamura, Yutaka Kojima, Rayya Kumar, Kristy Kwok,

The coaching staff is rounded out by assistants Kate Dee and Willy Billedo.

The Strikers earned the opportunity to host the tournament thanks to winning the Richmond championship a week earlier.

A dominant run, that also included a 7-0 record in league play, was capped by a muchanticipated final against rival McMath and a 3-1 victory. It was a reverse of last year’s result at the Bantam level.
