VOICES

Not all news is bad news Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Nothing travels faster than bad news, right?

While that may, in part, be true (many theorize it’s linked to our survival, fight or flight instincts), here at the Richmond News we’re finding that old adage doesn’t always live up to its reputation.

For sure, the more shocking the news, the faster it will carry across demographics and over multiple platforms, especially in today’s social media savvy world.

5

But as much as bad news generates initial Internet noise, it’s often fleeting and dies down as quickly as it erupted.

In our newsroom, as well as the time spent preparing and planning our print product, we invest a large chunk of our day feeding our 24/7 website at Richmond-News.com.

While doing so, we obviously track and monitor the progress and success of our stories and analyze as best we can what our readers want.

And while there is always a balancing act between what people want to read and what we believe they need to know, we’ve found lately that it’s not always the so-called bad news stories that people in Richmond are clicking on. (In fact, we had a record number of page views last month)

26

Mainstream media, in general, including the Richmond News are frequently accused in some quarters as “only reporting the negative.” (On occasion, I even hear from people who’ve checked out of all serious news coverage, aside from entertainment fluff, which I bring myself to label as “news.”)

33

But it’s simply not true and, I guess, it just depends on what people want to see.

I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve responded to readers online, lambasting us for focusing on the negatives and “ignoring the positives.”

Most of the time, in reply, it took 30 seconds or so to find half a dozen links on our website to stories bursting with more positivity than Oprah could shake a stick at.

22

As I said, it just depends where you want to look and what you want to see.

In this issue of the News alone, we have a fantastic tale of a Richmond man who found $8,000 on the street and went looking for the lost soul whose day had collapsed (page 7).

19

On page 6, we have some very positive letters about Richmondites living and working in the city; on page 19 we have an uplifting feature on a nine-year-old girl who battled a chronic skin condition to write her own book.

Further on, we have restaurants winning awards, young students preparing to crack the labour market, bidding to become the next generation of great scientists, helping fellow students transition to university and wowing the world with their amazing photography skills.

And did you see the smiling faces (left) and the achievements (on the front page) of our high school basketball teams on reaching the AAA provincial finals?

So see what you want to see, read us or not; call us what you will, but don’t label us as the Bad News Bears.

Thanks Sherry, welcome Scott We’re on illegals: Mayor ers are examples of her exceptional leadership.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Familiar face leads schools,” News, Feb. 21, 2019 It is with mixed emotions that the Board of Education announces the retirement of our superintendent, Sherry Elwood, effective March 31, and the hiring of Scott Robinson as her replacement.

Sherry Elwood’s career in public education spans over 36 years and has included a vast variety of roles including teacher, school administrator, as well as superintendent of schools.

In each of her roles, she has been characterized as passionate about public education, courageous and determined. She has helped guide the district through some difficult issues such as school closures, seismic upgrading and our SOGI Policy.

Scott Robinson has been an educator for the past 27 years. He is no stranger to our district having previously worked with us as an assistant superintendent seven years ago. In conversations with many district staff, there was excitement and delight when it was announced that Scott would be returning as our new deputy superintendent last year.

The Board of Education is grateful for all that superintendent Elwood has done for our district.

We are also pleased, that incoming superintendent Robinson will be the one leading us into the next phase of our district’s growth and development.

It is an exciting time.

Ken Hamaguchi

Dear Editor,

Re: “Airbnbs thriving in Richmond,” Letters, Feb. 21.

The City of Richmond is strongly committed to curbing illegal shortterm rentals within our community.

City council recently updated the bylaw regulations introduced in 2017 to control short-term rentals with additional enforcement tools.

To ensure compliance with local bylaws, city staff has conducted more than 1,000 home inspections in the past two years and taken a variety of actions, including issuing tickets or initiating prosecution.

As the result of city actions, more than 500 illegal operations have

ceased short-term rental activity.

Operators often agree to comply with the bylaws. There has also been a significant reduction in the number of local listings for short-term rentals appearing in a number of languages on popular websites.

We have also seen a significant increase in the number of legal bed and breakfast operations in the city.

Unfortunately, some operators still disregard city bylaws.

Residents can help identify suspected illegal short-term rentals by emailing BylawRequest@Richmond.ca.

would be beneficial to her child.

Dear Editor, Re: “Some Richmond parents out to lunch,” Letters, Richmond-News. com, March 3.

When I saw the headline, I knew I ought to read it with as much humour as possible. But I couldn’t.

Simply, because it isn’t funny.

“These parents need to get a grip on reality, and stop trying to change the world in these small, pathetic ways. Geez.”

Let’s get one thing straight: Parents in Richmond (and beyond) are not hoping to change the world by petitioning for school supervision for children who struggle to eat properly.

What they are doing is attempting to make a positive change in the life of their child.

I cannot theorize what about the petition, or the story in the Richmond News, was so outrageous or offensive that you felt it was necessary to pen a letter slamming a mother for doing what she felt

But I thought I would write back, perhaps to provide some clarity: no one is worried that their child will starve to death at school. The concern is that when kids do not eat properly, they are not able to reach their potential in the classroom.

This impacts the child, his classmates, the teaching staff, and ultimately, the school as a whole.

When a child is unable to focus, engage, and behave appropriately in the classroom, there are losses across the board.

And yes, sometimes when my son comes home from school, his entire lunch is untouched — Bearpaw cookie and all!

With all due respect, if you actually believe a five-year-old child, on their own, will prioritize eating over going outside to play with friends, I think you’re the one who might be out to lunch.

PRICE IS RIGHT at Richmond-News.com

Honest man returns $8,000 cash “Of course money was an issue, but I was also worried about her mood, for an elderly lady — she is in her 70s — who loses someone else’s money and such a big amount.”

Daisy Xiong DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Chu said both she and her mom were very grateful, and even a bit shocked, to get the money back.

When Richmond resident Kyle Shury found a gold package on his way to a birthday lunch near Marine Drive station in Vancouver, he never expected it to be full of $100 bills.

“To be honest, with that much money, I don’t know how many people would give it back,” said Chu. “My mother said it’s really positive that she still sees the good side of the world; we still feel the warmth of the world.

“I reached down, picked it up, and noticed that it was quite heavy. But the last thing I assumed is that it’s actually money,” recalled Shury.

“We discussed it – would we have done the same thing as what Kyle did? I think we would have.”

When he took a peek inside the package in the restaurant, and he realized it was $8,000 in cash, he went straight back to where he found the money and observed passersby.

Chu had her friend make a pair of stone pigs doused in essential oils for Shury — who founds the pigs very cute — along with a thank you card, a gift card and a bottle of wine.

About five minutes later, he saw an elderly woman walking around looking “visibly upset.”

“We are not rich, but we wanted to give him something special, a personalized gift to show our appreciation, to thank him for what he has done,” said Chu.

“It was almost surreal, because she looked at me and our eyes met and she walked towards me while I approached her,” said Shury.

“I asked her, ‘did you lose something?’ She (nodded) her head up and down. I said, ‘what did you lose?’ She said, ‘a lot of money’...I believe she was struggling for the word envelope or red package.”

The elderly woman’s daughter, who works in a bank in the area, helped the two communicate before Shury handed the money back to the woman, also a Richmond resident.

Kyle Shury received a pair of pigs from the elderly woman who lost the cash. Photo submitted is your lucky day.”

“When I returned, her emotional state went from very sad and distracted to extremely happy and thankful,” he recalled.

Angela Chu, the woman’s daughter, told the Richmond News that her mom lost the money on her way to deposit it for her other daughter, who lives overseas.

“They asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted nothing, I joked and said, it’s the year of the pig, I’m the pig and today

“When she realized that she had lost the money, she was freaking out. We were really desperate then,” she said.

Both Chu and Shury have shared the story with their children, and they’d like to share it with more people in the community.

“There is so much bad news out there, it’s good to share these good news stories,” said Shury.

“I’ve lived in Richmond for 40 plus years. Richmond is my home. I care about it very much.

“As a parent, I just think it’s a good opportunity to share those positive life lessons with the kids.

“And I think the community as a whole can read about it as a good example and benefit.”

Alice Wong praises Chiu steps into race Wilson-Raybould

Justice and the Attorney General.”

Daisy Xiong

Chiu also criticized the federal government’s financial policies and focused on the federal government’s insufficient efforts in forming trade deals.

DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“She stood tall … to uphold the law.”

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond Centre Conservative MP Alice Wong said she’s appalled at how Jody Wilson-Raybould has been treated and at the Liberal government for trying to pressure the former attorney-general to change her mind about a criminal prosecution.

Wong stepped out of the emergency debate on the subject at Parliament last Thursday evening to talk with the Richmond News, calling it a “constitutional crisis.”

Wong said she watched as Wilson-Raybould gave her testimony where she outlined the details from her notes about pressure she’d felt from her own government.

“I really admire the courage of Jody,” Wong said, adding that the two of them often talk as they are flying back to B.C. and at community events.

“She is one of the ministers I really respect, although I don’t agree with legislation her government presents,” Wong said.

Wilson-Raybould gave explosive testimony on Wednesday to the justice committee of the House of Commons about how she had been pressured by the prime minister’s office, and staff close to the prime minister, to reverse her decision, as attorney-general, and allow for a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) of SNC-Lavalin, a large engineering company based in Quebec.

A DPA is a voluntary agreement between an accused corporation and the prosecuting authority that allows a criminal prosecution to be suspended for a period time.

The plea agreement includes an admission of facts and a fine, but allows the corporation to bid on procurement contracts.

Wong said this is a “shame” for Canada as everyone is watching the scandal unfold.

SNC-Lavalin built the Canada Line to Richmond and has a contract to operate and maintain the line until 2040.

The Liberal member of Parliament for Steveston-Richmond East, Joe Peschisolido, didn’t return repeated inquiries for comment from the Richmond News.

Former Conservative candidate Kenny Chiu announced Friday he is again seeking the nomination for the 2019 federal election in Steveston-Richmond East.

Having lost to MP Joe Peschisolido in 2015 by 6.6 per cent of the vote, Chiu says he believes his party will win more votes in the fall election, especially after the Jody Wilson-Raybould testimony and the Meng Wanzhou case.

“Canadians who voted for (the Liberals) last time have realized it’s an illusion attributed to Justin Trudeau’s empty promises.

I’m the one who you can trust,” said Chiu at a press conference at the South Arm Community Centre.

the large increase in their numbers over the past decade has raised some safety concerns.

Megan Devlin MDEVLIN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The City of Richmond is explaining its participation in a regional snow goose management strategy, after several local birders were upset by posters asking dog owners to help clear the geese from city’s parks and fields.

Kate Paton, an amateur wildlife photographer, came across a poster at the Richmond Nature Park on the weekend, calling for owners of “well-trained, medium to large sized dogs” to help move the geese away from school fields and parks during winter months.

She didn’t approve of using dogs to “chase and scare” the geese away.

“The snow geese have more right to be here than anyone else,” she said of the birds that migrate from Siberia every year to spend the winter in warmer marshlands on B.C.’s South Coast and Washington State.

Hundreds of thousands of them come to Richmond every year, and some locals say they’re a nuisance because they make noise and leave excrement in the city’s parks.

Ted Townsend, city spokesperson, said the arrival of snow geese in Richmond continues to be a welcomed ecological event, but that

He said they’re trying to move the geese because the birds present a hazard to air traffic when they congregate in huge numbers so close to Vancouver International Airport.

“The intent of the program is to keep the snow geese moving south, away from the airport where the birds pose a significant risk to aviation,” he said.

Ideally, they’ll move to south Richmond and Delta, where more than 3,000 acres of winter crops have been planted specifically for the geese to feed on. The city funds the planting program, which encourages farmers to plant winter cover crops for the geese.

“This helps alleviate potential damage to other crops and playing fields that can be caused by over-foraging,” Townsend said.

Volunteers and their dogs, Townsend explained, are trained by a professional wildlife management consultant and must pass a strict screening test in order to participate.

But Paton is concerned the posters will encourage what she describes as already irresponsible dog owners using Richmond’s nature spaces.

Immigration loophole not realistic Online article claims international parents can save $40,000 by becoming student According to the Richmond School District, international students are charged $16,425 per school year.

Daisy Xiong DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM More international students are coming to study in Richmond and many are accompanied by one of their parents.

As a result of the high cost, some immigration ads are advising these parents to get enrolled in college, so that their children can receive free education in local public schools.

An idea promoted in one of the articles, circulated on a

Chinese language website called Wenba, claims that parents can pay $30,000 and save $40,000.

The calculation is that if a parent spends $30,000 in tuition fees for themselves to get enrolled in a college for two years, and receives a three-year work visa after graduation, they can avoid paying around $70,000 and up on their child’s education over five years.

Children whose parents hold a study permit or work visa can go to local public schools for free.

“If you have more than one child, the profit doubles,” the author of the article wrote.

Robert Hu with Wellway Immigration.

Robert Hu, president of Richmond-based Wellway Immigration, said he has recently received a lot of inquiries from people who want to be “parent students.”

“Many have read about it on Wechat or heard it from other immigration agencies, and are interested in taking that approach,” said Hu. Those parents, added Hu, are usually in their 30s with a young child attending schools in Richmond – some only attend kindergarten.

The parents are not allowed to study or work in Canada, and their partner often works in the home country.

“Technically, parents of international students can save on their children’s tuition fee by becoming a student themselves, as advertised by some other agencies,” said Hu. “But money is not their biggest consideration.”

He explains that families who can afford to send their children to study here are often quite well off and don’t care much about saving $40,000.

“What they want is the permanent residency,” he said.

Under current immigration policy, full-time students of public post-secondary schools or certain programs of a private school can get a work permit after graduation.

They can then apply for permanent residency after gaining enough working experience.

“The parents here think, ‘I have to be here for my child’s education for many years anyway, why don’t I study something, get a job afterwards and immigrate to this country?” said Hu.

As nice as it looks, however, Hu said this grand plan is far from realistic.

“Those ads, I don’t want to say they are misleading, but they definitely oversimplify the process and the degree of difficulty,” he said.

He explains that most of those parents cannot get into college in the first place due to their limited English.

Even if some do get enrolled, the responsibilities of taking care of a child alone in another country and studying at the same time just make it too challenging for them to graduate.

“Some might be able to graduate from some unknown private school, but the school won’t be qualified for the students to get a work visa after they graduate, not to mention to immigrate,” said Hu. “So unless the parents already have a very good academic background and have strong English skills, it can be a waste of time and energy — for their immigration purpose at least.”

Single women in retirement: it’s complicated (and rarely easy)

Mounties warn drivers after theft spike Alyse Kotyk

Women on the whole still earn less than men. Historically, they have left work that is outside the home (and lost income) to raise children. They often look after their aging parents as well.

While widows at least tend to inherit from their spouses, single women of course do not. Their pension benefits are lower. And on top of that, women tend to live longer than men.

For single women, if they do not inherit from their parents, they face a difficult, financially complex retirement. So the younger they can start a plan (I suggest including an RRSP), the better.

Richmond Mounties are warning the public to keep items out of sight in vehicles, after 169 thefts from vehicles were recorded in the past month.

Suite 440-5900 No. 3 Road (Vancity Tower) Email: jack@willpowerlaw.com Twitter: @WillPowerLaw Blog: willpowerlaw.wordpress.com

Jack Micner

According to the RCMP, purses, bags, backpacks and their contents have been targeted the most.

“It only takes a moment to break into a vehicle. Thieves are attracted to these areas because of opportunity. We are asking people to help by removing that opportunity. If there is nothing to see, there is nothing to steal,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang in a press release.

Mounties say the most reported locations recently have been Aberdeen Centre, President Plaza (near Cambie and No. 3 roads) and at various spots along Alexandra Road.

“Consider if a thief got ahold of your important identity documents, the contents of your wallet, your laptop or tablet with an important business presentation, company intellectual property, or even a final school project or term paper,” added

President Plaza is a favourite haunt for thieves looking to break into vehicles, according to Richmond RCMP. Google maps Hwang.

“What about important medications or an irreplaceable photograph of a loved one? Even if you leave your vehicle for a moment, that amount of time is an eternity for a thief to do their work.”

“No matter where you park — whether it be your home, in an underground parking lot, or in front of a restaurant, take a moment and ensure your contents are secured out of sight.”

Jobs at risk with new food options Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A union representing service industry employees at Vancouver International Airport is raising concerns about upcoming food service contracts.

Announced last month, YVR says it will implement more than 20 new food and beverage concepts at the airport over the next two years, along with 10 new retail offerings.

However, Unite Here Local 40, which represents many of the service industry employees at YVR, says some of these new contracts could put workers’ jobs at risk.

Call to Reserve 604 276 1954 | deckkitchenandbar.com | 3500 Cessna Dr. Richmond, BC

Currently, businesses in the airport have leases that are usually eight years long and if a new business takes over the space afterwards, the workers often need to reapply for their jobs and may lose their benefits.

“We have no job security at YVR,” said Denise Yuile, a long-term server at the domestic terminal’s White Spot. “I have two children, so it’s scary not knowing

Fipe Wong, an HMSHost employee who has worked as a first cook at the airport for 23 years, made $16.50 per hour as of last fall, forcing her to take on other parttime work.

YVR has “committed to ensuring all affected workers are guaranteed job interviews” with the new businesses.

“I am in the union and if a non-union company comes in, I will lose all my benefits,” Wong said.

“In addition, YVR has committed to announcing a fair wage policy by this year’s Annual Public Meeting in May that will continue to help ensure YVR remains competitive and a great place to work,” Michele Mawhinney, the airport’s vice-president of people and sustainability, told the Richmond News by email.

City council argues over agenda time

Council members voted Monday after looking at a variety of options, including getting the packages, which can be hundreds of pages long, 10 days in advance.

Coun. Bill McNulty pointed out that the current system has worked fine for the 25 years he’s been on council and he didn’t support any change.

“This council job is a full-time job, when you signed up to run, you knew it was a full-time job,” he said.

When people ran for office, McNulty said they knew “that was the price you paid.”

“People say it gives us more time to read,” he added. “Sorry, I don’t buy that. What game are you really trying to play with the public?”

Coun. Kelly Greene argued for having the packages come to council earlier, saying

She said posting the packages late on Friday is hard for people who might have concerns about items as it doesn’t give them much time to prepare. Day suggested getting agenda packages 10 days in advance, for a year.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he gets Metro Vancouver and TransLink packages about a week ahead, but he finds that there are so many revisions by the time the meeting rolls around that it causes confusion.

“I think the worst of these options would be to have it 10 days ahead,” Brodie said.

He also pointed out that when council receives a big agenda, 600 to 800 pages in length, council has already seen many of the documents before.

“I agree with Bill (McNulty), it’s what we signed up to do,” Brodie said. “If you don’t want to be in public service, don’t be, that’s what (we) signed up for.”

Mayor Malcom Brodie reaffirmed the City of Richmond’s disapproval of a 10-lane bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel in front of a Richmond Chamber of Commerce audience last week, despite the cham-

ber holding the opposite stance.

The previous B.C. Liberal government’s project was cancelled two years ago and a new consultation process was launched by the NDP in December.

Brodie was giving his annual address last week, titled “Richmond: City on the Move,” in front of 300 people at a chamber-hosted luncheon. Brodie talked about growth in the city, including $879 million

in construction, roads, affordable housing, public art and amenities.

Much of the growth is in the city centre and is transit-oriented, he pointed out.

Parents rally to keep kindergarten MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

At least one parent from Burkeville was not impressed by the Richmond board of education wearing “Erase Bullying” T-shirts at last week’s meeting, saying Sea Island elementary parents are feeling bullied.

Braham Teja received a letter from the school district that afternoon, informing him the elementary school will not have a kindergarten class this fall because only three children were registered.

“When I see the slogan on your shirts that say ‘erase bullying,’ I can’t help but speak on behalf of Burkeville people,” Teja said to the school board.

“We’re kind of tired of bullying, too, in our community; we feel like we’re being bullied as a community.”

He was expecting to put his daughter into kindergarten at Sea Island this fall. Instead, he’s been told that she will be bused to Brighouse elementary, something that’s not a “viable option,” Teja said.

Shauna Gordon, who grew up in Burkeville and now lives there with her young family, said removing the kindergarten class will undermine the possibility of any return for kindergarten at Sea Island.

Teja told the Richmond News after the meeting that it feels like the board has already made a decision to not run a kindergarten class at Sea Island elementary.

“I think their decision’s been made and I think it’s very sad because the school is an integral part of Burkeville,” Teja said. The neighbourhood’s sense of community is based around the school, he added.

Dr. Agnes Lee, a hematologist, said her patient has “gone through the whole gamut.” Lee is director of the thrombosis (blood clot) program at Vancouver General Hospital, and her research led to a new drug becoming the standard of care for cancer patients with clots about 15 years ago.

For a number of reasons, cancer patients are vulnerable to developing blood clots.

Their tumours excrete proteins that trigger clotting, and chemotherapy damages blood vessel linings. Clots are the second leading cause of death for them, behind only cancer progression.

Galang won her first battle with cancer, but went back to her doctor in 2016 when her left arm became swollen.

“It was really, really big.

And it was shiny. And … it was heavy,” she said, miming lifting the dead weight of her left arm with her right.

“I didn’t know what was happening. I didn’t know anything about blood clotting.”

A CT scan and an ultrasound confirmed her arm was engorged with blood because of a clot. As it turned out, that was the first sign her cancer had returned.

She’s still dealing with the cancer that has since spread to the surface of her brain. She finished another round of chemotherapy, and doctors tried radiation too. All the while, she’s on anti-coagulants to prevent another clot.

“I’m more concerned about the blood clot than my cancer,” Galang said. “Because clotting, you can die instantly.”

Blood clots are supposed to happen naturally to stop us from bleeding when we’re injured.

But sometimes the clotting process goes into overdrive and clots form inside the body’s large blood vessels. Problems happen when they plug the vessel and block blood flow, or break off and travel to the heart and lungs.

“It’s kind of like bad traffic,” Lee said.

“That blood will get backed up into tissues and organs and can cause damage.”

Things get dangerous when a clot occurs in key organs, like the brain (a stroke), the heart (a heart attack) or the lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Many people die from blood clots every year in Canada. Of the roughly 100,000 Canadians who will develop a clot every year, about 10,000 won’t survive.

Pulmonary embolisms cause more deaths each year than breast cancer, HIV and car accidents combined, Lee said.

I’m more concerned about the blood clot than my cancer.

Because clotting, you can die instantly.”

WINDELINE GALANG

She left her job at a compounding pharmacy after that news.

Her daughter, who just graduated from high school, now works as an administrative assistant to support them and Galang’s sister takes time off from work to drive her to VGH.

Sinfully Too

“I would say, if you see something that swollen, go see a doctor. Don’t just ignore it,” she said.

Galang remembers being injected with a high dose of anti-coagulant drugs as soon as doctors figured out she had a clot.

Two years later, she still receives the regular injections to prevent the clot from coming back.

Lee thinks it’s imperative to do a better job educating the public since there is effective treatment available.

They’re commonly referred to as blood thinners, even though they just block the clotting process and don’t actually thin your blood.

Just as the First World War was coming to an end in 1918, tragedy struck Steveston.

A devastating fire ravaged Steveston and the Richmond Cultural Centre is hosting a pictorial exhibition to examine the events of that day and to remember all that was, and all who were, lost.

The fire is alleged to have started in the Chinese cookhouse in the Star Cannery and quickly spread, due to strong winds.

Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The Richmond Women’s Resource Centre (RWRC) is gearing up to host its annual fundraiser this Saturday in celebration of International Women’s Day.

The fire of May 14, 1918 was one of the worst in Richmond’s history. At that time, Steveston was a booming industrial village and many wood framed salmon canneries, along with wooden housing for workers, were built there in high density plots. “(They were) heated by wood stoves and lit with coal oil lamps. That, combined with minimal or non-existent fire protection, made the place a tinder box,” according to the Richmond Arts Centre’s website.

hosts fundraiser

The inferno destroyed most of the buildings between No. 1 Road and Third Avenue and many buildings south of Moncton Street.

The exhibition showcases some of the pictures documenting the fire at the time and the people who experienced it.

The fire engulfed three canneries and three hotels, and about 600 Japanese, Chinese and First Nations workers and their families were made homeless in the blink of an eye. The total damage amounted to $500,000.

The photos are from the City of Richmond Archives and The Friends of The Richmond Archives.

The display is in the cultural centre at 7700 Minoru Gate for the foreseeable future.

This event raises funds and awareness for RWRC. First established in 1976, the centre and its volunteers have helped more than 7,400 women, offering resources such as support groups, workshops, agency referrals and volunteering opportunities.

The theme for this year’s event, which will take place at Continental Seafood Restaurant, is “Balance for Better.”

The organization states

that their purpose “is to empower women while contributing to the establishment of a gender-balanced society.”

RWRC’s event commemorates International Women’s Day, March 8, and acts as a focal point in the global women’s rights movement.

“Gender balance is essential for economies and communities to thrive,” says the International Women’s Day team about this year’s theme.

RWRC’s fundraiser runs from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes breakfast and a silent auction.

In addition, Clavinova Nights will provide live entertainment, playing jazz and upbeat dance music.

Tickets are $50 and are available at RichmondWomensCentre.bc.ca.

Beauty only skin deep for mom, daughter team

Making a career of Real Estate Sales years ago was a very positive move for me and my family. A decision that I have never looked back on. For many years now, my career has been accelerated because of my affiliation with the RE/MAX brand. Not only do I benefit from the corporate awareness of the RE/MAX name, but more importantly, so do my clients.

In 2018 RE/MAX will continue to make significant investments to ensure that my clients and I are associated with the best known name in the industry! I also happen to enjoy a great local office and a manager who continues to push me to think outside the box. Thank you, Richard and your support staff!

It took Rachael Cheung three days before she told her mom her Richmond elementary classmates refused to hold her hand at gym.

604.273.2828

www.richmondbcrealty.com

When nine-year-old Rachael — who has coped with eczema most of her young life — did finally open up, there were, understandably, floods of tears.

ALLERGIES SEASON IS APPROACHING.

“She kept it to herself for a few days before telling me and then she cried and cried,” recalled her mom, Nancy Cheung.

Naturopathic medicine may be your answer!

“As a parent, I just wanted to protect her. I empowered her with love and confidence and told her how strong she was.

“Her teachers, however, were incredible. They had an educational talk with the class about eczema and it really helped.

“But Rachael is nine turning 40; she’s very wise and teaches me things every day.”

That emotional day is captured in a debut book – Pink’s Ink — written and illustrated by the Hamilton mother and daughter team, about Rachael’s struggle with the often debilitating skin condition.

It started three years ago, when Rachael’s eczema, which covered most of her body, was at its peak.

To help express herself, Rachael wrote her feelings in a journal, which formed the basis of the book she and her mom had no idea at the time would happen.

“It was a trying time and Rachael was having some bad episodes and couldn’t sleep at all at night. So we started a project together,” said Cheung.

“Most of the content (of the book) is from her journal entries and about her struggles and feelings.

“Last summer, we finished the book. It was meant to be just for her. But she wanted to share it with her friends.”

It was then that one of Rachael’s teachers said it would be a great teaching resource and encouraged the Cheungs to have it published.

“I really wanted to let people with eczema know that they’re not alone,” Rachael told the Richmond News.

“I wrote what I was worried about and about the things I did to try and help with eczema. I also told people to be brave and not be too bothered about how they look.

“I used to worry about how I look, but I’ve learned that it’s more important about who you are on the inside.”

Rachael said she was nervous reading her book out loud for the first time to her Grade 3 class, before freely narrating it to other Hamilton elementary classes.

Richmond mom and daughter team Nancy and Rachael Cheung at the Metrotown Indigo book signing. Photo submitted “I feel very proud to see it in stores and I get very excited when I see it,” she added.

Asked why she felt the book needed to be published, Cheung said she wanted to clear up the many misconceptions there are over the skin condition.

“It affects all involved. There are so many misunderstandings; even the doctors’ views were all different. Some said she would grow out of it and some gave her steroids. It was a struggle,” said Cheung.

“The more it would flare up, the more it would make her anxious and so on.”

Natural Nutrients including IV vitamin therapy can be used to reduce symptoms of allergies with minimal to no side effects. Naturopathic approach to allergy relief can also have long lasting affects.

Naturopathic and traditional allergy treatments can be used together to achieved better relief for our patients.

These days, although the eczema is far from absent in Rachael’s life, the condition is now manageable, said her mom.

“I just started giving her the food she likes and letting her do the things she wanted to do, along with some art therapy,” said Cheung, who acknowledged the support of her family’s church, St John’s Richmond, a place where she says Rachael felt the most comforted during her worst days.

To the chuckles of her mom, Rachael told the News that watching TV and indulging in moon mist flavoured ice-cream (blue raspberry, grape and banana) helps distract her.

And she swears moon mist “tastes nice.”

The 34-page book itself centres on an octopus named Pink, which likes to camouflage itself with ink, hence the title, and a reference to Rachael wanting to hide her eczema during her worst flare-ups.

Priced at $18.99 (paperback) and $23.99 (hardback), Pink’s Ink is available at Indigo in Richmond Centre and Metrotown and online at Amazon.

Richmond’s Chinese restaurants once again dominated the annual Chinese Restaurant Awards, taking home prizes in 17 of the 23 categories.

The awards celebrated their 11th year this year, choosing the best of the hundreds of restaurants offering Chinese cuisine in Metro Vancouver.

Honoured were classic favourites like Chef Tony Seafood Restaurant, ones with celebrity fans like HK BBQ Master and newly opened spots like HaiDiLao Hot Pot. The awards added new categories for three signature dishes this year. Richmond’s iTofu won for having the best tofu pudding, but Vancouver’s Dynasty Seafood Restaurant had the best Cantonese-style crispy chicken and Burnaby’s Chao Shou Wang was picked for its chili oil wontons. Richmond’s HK BBQ Master, though, was the overall favourite and won in the Most Voted category.

Competition hopes to fill labour shortage Daisy Xiong DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

With companies struggling to find employees in Richmond, a competition held in the city is encouraging young workers to obtain the practical skills many industries desire.

The Skills Canada BC regional competition, held at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Richmond last week, allowed hundreds of Grade 4 to 12 students to showcase their talents in skills, trade and technologies.

dren to look at future careers.”

Nia, a Grade 4 student from Garden City elementary, was a competitor in the gravity car competition. She told the Richmond News she joined the competition out of her passion for engineering.

“There is a labour shortage and there’s going to be a labour shortage in skills, trades and technologies, so they are very good (career) choices for youths,” said James Maxwell, manager of competitions for Skills Competences Canada BC. “They should have a little bit of trial in those areas. We want to introduce them to a few samplers and experiences.”

A wide spectrum of competitions are taking place province-wide. They include architecture, graphic design, cabin making, plumbing, aircraft mechanics and baking.

At the Richmond location, there were six competitions: gravity car, spaghetti bridge, wind turbine, graphic design, public speak-

“They are tasked on how to build a bridge with spaghetti and hot glue, that can carry a one-kilogram mass for one minute, or to build a car that’s a maximum of 600 grams and can run down the track the fastest,” said

Douglas Park, competition coordinator and vice principal of Garden City elementary.

“It gives kids the opportunity to be outside of the classroom to practice their knowledge, their research into design and problem solving, and it is a very good opportunity for chil-

“I like (engineering) more now…(the competition) is fun, and there’s free pizza,” said Nia. One of the main missions of Skills Canada BC, according to Maxwell, is to provide as many opportunities as possible for kids to gain some experience in different careers.

“What happens in skills, trade and technology is that people who are very successful, they might rise, they may become entrepreneurs, there are lots of possibilities for being successful in any area.”

ASK A PRO

does the B-20 Stress Test affect me Q: How when buying a home?

A:

long is my Will kept when registered Q: How in Victoria, and how do I go about

Broadly speaking, the rules mean you may not be able to borrow as much as you would have been able to before the implementation of the stress test. I am not necessarily arguing that this is all bad, (as I often talk my buyers out of overextending themselves) but just want buyers to be very aware If you’re house hunting, you may have to shop for a less-expensive home.

Victoria does not keep copies of Wills or register A: copies of Wills, and has never done so in the

past. What you are referring to is a “Wills Notice” that is registered with the British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency. When you have your Will drawn up, your Notary can register a Wills Notice for you. What you are doing when you register a Wills Notice is documenting the location of where the Will is going to be kept, and the date on which it was executed. Any time your Will is updated or you change the location of your Will, you should file the change accordingly. When a person passes away and their estate requires probating, one of the first steps by the Executor is to do a Wills Search, to see if a Wills Notice was filed.

It is to insure and confirm that the correct and current Will is being dealt with. Registering a Wills Notice is optional.

Q: A:

STANDARDIZED ACCREDITATION KEY TO PROSTATE MRI

Q: A: Q: A: Q: A: Q: A:

I had Multi Parametric, 3T, Prostate MRI Exam (MP, 3T, MRI) at Priority MRI, Richmond, BC, a few months ago. I was very pleased with the results because I did not need an unnecessary biopsy! What is the hesitation of making it into a GOLD STANDARD for any pre-biopsy requirement?

It is now widely accepted that MP, 3T, MRI for prostate cancer is a “good test” for identifying prostate cancer before scheduling a biopsy. What does a “ good test” means?

MP, 3T, MRI for prostate cancer can be a complex diagnostic test. Do the radiologists need to come up with a benchmark for themselves and for their patients?

This could be a highly valued outcome because it provides the benefits to the patients in a timely manner, which should be a vital component of improved care.

What should be the roles of “ false-negatives” and “ false-positives” in prostate biopsies to the healthcare providers, in particular, the radiologists?

Dr. Vibeke Logager, an Associate Professor of Radiology at Herlev Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark, advises radiologists not to be afraid of comparing their stats with well-known state of the art institutions in Europe, USA and Canada.

Next consider sensitivity and approachability: select a facility that will make time for your questions and reflects high standards of quality in every respect. Ensure they welcome any culturally specific traditions you wish to observe.

Then last but not least focus on integrity and quality: a full service facility will own their own funeral home, chapel and crematorium thus making it easy for you to get everything you need from one provider. You want a well-known funeral home that is part of a wider network to support excellent standards for your family.

Reach our professionals with your questions.

Q: Can Chiropractors Recommend and Yes. Chiropractors can assess your feet to determine if orthotics is required. If you want to build any structure, a strong foundation is one of the key components. The human body is no different. Alignment of the bones in the feet can influence the functional stability of the rest of the body. There are several things you can do to keep your feet healthy. You should avoid activities that cause recurring pain in your feet, knees or hips. You should wear appropriate, properly-fitting athletic shoes when you exercise. And most important is to have your Chiropractor check the mechanical movement patterns of your feet, knees, hips and pelvis. A routine gait analysis can pick up minor imbalances before they create major problems. Biomechanical evaluation often reveals patients feet rolling inwards or rather pronating. Orthotics can help to stabilize the lower extremities & pelvis to help maintain normal posture and reduce over pronation. This often helps with problems like plantar fasciitis, foot or knee pain, and even low back pain. Thus, be sure to have your feet checked by your Chiropractor on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to take you where you want to go in a pain-free way.

Complimentary orthotic consultation available until March 15th, limited spots available. Call now!

Reliability and breadth of service: long term standing in the community and a network of community involvement are hallmarks of a good facility with a good reputation.

Standard Accreditation (SA) is what the medical diagnostic imaging community needs, according to Dr. Jonathan Richenberg, a radiologist at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, UK

The creation of a Standard Accreditation (SA) starts with an attitude to encourage people to use MP, 3T, MRI for prostate exams. This should establish a universal standard, according to Dr. Jonathan Richenberg.

The test was introduced by Canada’s banking regulator to keep homebuyers from taking on risky levels of debt, the result being reduced buying power that changes what homebuyers can purchase.

The intention of the stress test was to ensure homebuyers could withstand an increase in interest rates without becoming overextended. However, since it was implemented, there’s been a “triple whammy”, in that interest rates have also increased, along with the Bank of Canada’s five-year benchmark rate on which the stress test is based.

12 years old. It’s past its expiry date but, it seems to be working ok. Should I consider replacing it or wait until it actually breaks?

Travis, in Richmond

Who is the lady on the bill? My husband says it is the Queen but I disagree.

Why is the design vertical?

A:

Today’s Hot Water Heaters have a 6-8 year warranty and are designed to fail after that. If you have gotten 12 years out of yours, you have done well. While your tank might seem to be working ok, you don’t know what is going on in the inside. Do you seem to run out of hot water faster than you used to? That’s an indication of a problem. Take a look at the top and bottom of your tank. If you see rust, that is a sure sign that things are starting to deteriorate and that will increase quickly. Waiting until your Tank actually leaks can be a costly mess as you are potentially looking at 40 or more gallons of water ruining your floor. You may want to look under your tank and check the pan and the drain to see what the leak management scenario is. Replacing a conventional Hot Water tank can be quick and easy. This may also be a good time to consider an on-demand, high-efficiency, heating system.

While a little more costly to set-up, the 40% savings on your energy bill, triple the life of the system and unlimited hot water, make it a very attractive option.

Q: Do I need Condominium Insurance?

A: Absolutely!

Q: What is the difference between having an immediate denture and a denture that is made after I have extractions?

A:

Condominium Corporations carry insurance on the strata building and within that policy are various deductibles. In the event of a claim, the Strata Corporation may assess the unit owners collectively or individually, to pay the cost of one of these deductibles, which can often exceed $25,000+.

Personal Condominium policies can provide coverage to pay for some of these deductibles, commonly referred to as “Deductible Assessment Coverage”.

However, limitations do apply but incremental increases are often available to bridge these gaps.

Suzanne Lima, CAIB, CIP

It’s critical to know what deductibles you could be obligated to pay and if you don’t Branch Manager – have adequate coverage, the cost could be paid out of your pocket. Don’t let that Garden City happen!

Our Central Agencies Ltd. team is available 7 days a week to review both your condo policy and strata building policy to highlight what coverage you need and provide affordable options.

Immediate dentures are always best, unless there is so much mobility in your teeth that taking an impression may cause an accidental extraction when the impression is removed. The immediate denture will act as a band aid as well as to help reshape the bone to a kinder more rounded form, rather than leaving the sharp edges that are formed by the circumference of the extraction socket. Follow up must be done by your dental practitioner in order to keep up with the changing shape as the bone and tissue heal. If you have extractions done and the denture is made after a period of couple months then the bone from the circumference of the socket has prematurely healed and is now standing up. When a denture is placed on the tissues, the bone from underneath now stabs you from the inside out. There is one way that you can do the latter method. Once your initial wound site has closed, then you must massage the bone together towards the center of gum. This will tell the body that the bone must reshape to a rounder shape.

Students jam out at science fair Megan Devlin MDEVLIN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Elementary school students from across Richmond gathered last week to present their research projects, experiments and inventions at the district’s annual Science Jam. Held at Aberdeen Centre, the young scientists explained their research questions and findings to older high school students, parents, friends and local celebrities.

“This is really a celebration of science learning,” said teacher-consultant Neal Campbell, who’s been organizing the noncompetitive science fair for the past three years.

During further testing, the regular ones proved more popular, supporting the girls’ hypothesis that people prefer to buy food that looks better.

Preparing for Science Jam improves students’ critical thinking, tests their creativity and hones their communication skills, Campbell added.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie made an appearance, and some students played science games on stage, while others reached high to catch prizes tossed into the crowd.

The event is part of the district’s Education Week, which shows the community what students are learning in their classrooms.

“A lot of (the kids) have been working on (their project) for a few months. So there’s a lot of buildup and anticipation for them to come here and display their projects in a public setting,” said David Sadler, spokesperson for the district.

Here’s what some of the young scientists were working on (see pictures on page 26): Do video games affect focus?

Canada Demircan and his partner asked a group of friends to play a video game for 10 minutes and then complete a concentration test where they had to find a hidden object with a 15-second time limit.

He compared them against a control group, who completed the concentration test without playing the game.

“We found out (video games) actually did affect focus, but in a negative way,”

Event organizor Neal Campbell (right) said Richmond Science Jam tests students’ critical thinking, creativity and communication skills. Megan Devlin photos he said.

Those who played the video game had more trouble finding the object.

Even though he loves video games, the Grade 7 student said he’s thinking about limiting his time on them after this experiment.

Dark vs. Light Ella Lynch baked cookies to see if people could recognize their favourite type of chocolate chips blindfolded.

She found that people couldn’t taste their preference. They tended to pick the cookie with dark chocolate chips as their favourite, even if they said previously they preferred milk chocolate.

“Your taste buds can really change depending on what your first view of the food is,” the Grade 7 student said.

Magnets: Does size matter?

Ethan Rizarri and Javis Wong wanted to see if a magnet’s size impacts its strength.

The Grade 5 students tested several different magnets to see from how far away they could move a paperclip. The strongest magnet, they said, could move a paperclip from nine centimetres away.

One thing they learned, though, is you need to make sure all the metals magnets are made of the same metals.

Is taste impacted by how food looks?

Eva Zeng and Jessica Kwok baked a batch of brownies and rolled some of them to look like pieces of poop. They sold those brownies alongside regular-shaped ones at school, to see what kind people would prefer.

Zeng thought people would avoid the poop-shaped brownies, so they made them slightly cheaper than the regular ones.

“All the boys bought the poop-shaped brownies, and all the girls bought the regular brownies,” she said.

“I would’ve picked the regular one because the poop one looks super disgusting.

Like actual poop,” Zeng said.

Hydroelectricity Tyler Lewis and Tyler Girvin, in Grade 7, constructed model houses and lit up the miniature lightbulbs inside them using a wheel powered by motion.

On a small scale, their project showed how hydroelectricity can light up a whole city.

The biggest challenge, they said, was trying to figure out how to move the wheel with water, since their Bristol board wasn’t near a river. In the end, they rotated it by hand.

Light from vinegar Grace Chan and Emily Cheng filled up an ice cube tray and tied a copper wire to a nail in order to illuminate an LED light.

They said finding all the materials was challenging, but were glad they put together something cool for Science Jam. “You have to make sure the copper wire and the nail aren’t touching each other in different trays. Otherwise it won’t light up,” Chan said.

Students ask about university at Transitions Transitions, a new event organized by Richmond students, helped de-mystify the postsecondary education application process. Photo submitted

Entering university or college is a significant transition, and stress gears up for high school students during the daunting application process.

how to finance a degree and how to survive once the start of college or university.

No one knows that better than current Grade 11 and 12 students in Richmond.

But instead of fretting about it, a group on the Richmond Student District Council Organization (RSDCO) pulled together the first-ever conference to get answers and enlighten younger students.

They invited older friends, already in university, to come back and answer current

More than 100 Richmond high school students attended the event on Feb. 23, called Transitions, at Steveston-London secondary. high schoolers’ questions, and organized workshops on the application process, entrance exams (for schools in the U.S.),

“(We) had students personally come up to us to tell us that they’ve learned something from the workshops,” said RSDCO chair Joey Huang.

“I had a female student walk up to me and tell me that, through these workshops, she was able to find her mentor for her school capstone project.”

Another student expressed how happy she was to learn she was eligible for scholarships, Huang said.

RSDCO conferences chair Kerrie Ye, who’s already submitted her university applications, remembered how much pressure there was during that time. She wanted to give younger kids a clear map to make their journey easier.

“Recently, there’s been so much stress going on for the younger grades,” said Ye. “We really wanted to help them out.”

Wildlife photo captures top prize Megan Devlin MDEVLIN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A 14-year-old Richmond student won the Vancouver International Photography Festival’s (VIPF) student photo contest.

Weiyang Ma, in Grade 9 at McMath secondary, received Best in Show for his photo “I See You When I’m Sleeping” of a long-eared owl in Boundary Bay. “When owls are sleeping, they have one eye closed and one eye open,” he said. “Half their brain shuts down and one half is operational.”

Other animals, like dolphins, manatees and seals have this ability as well.

But researchers believe birds are unique, because they can choose to let both halves of their brain sleep, or keep one half awake to watch for danger.

Wildlife photography is Ma’s favourite wintertime activity. In the summer, he turns to long-exposure photography to capture images of the Milky Way. He likes taking pictures with his mother, who helps carry some of the camera equipment. His goals are to keep practicing to capture better images that tell stories of what he sees outside.

As part of the contest prize, Ma will be named Aberdeen Centre’s photography intern for the year, photographing events at the mall, in exchange for a

small honorarium.

He and the four other winners received passes to VIPF 2019 and a $100 gift card to Aberdeen Centre.

The other four winning photos were “Earth to Sky”

by Amir Attarhosseini, MacNeill secondary, “Future”

by Helen Li, Steveston-London secondary, “Touch of Heaven” by Jonathan Folk, Hugh Boyd secondary and untitled image by Peter Ge, Burnett secondary.

The contest was open to all Richmond public school students, and hosted between VIPF, Richmond School District and Aberdeen Centre.

Ravens, Sharks earn BC berths

Senior boys basketball teams wrapping up terrific seasons at LEC this week Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

They both weren’t even on the Langley Events Centre’s radar screen when the boys high school basketball season tipped off three months ago yet the MacNeill Ravens and Steveston-London Sharks have reached the province’s biggest stage.

The Ravens and Sharks are winding down their memorable campaigns this week at the BC AAA Championships. The 16-team tournament tipped off yesterday and wraps up on Saturday.

The Ravens earned their first-ever trip to the LEC with a second place at the final edition of the Lower Mainland Championships, held at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

They reached the title game with a 64-59 win over the Richmond Colts — avenging a 32-point loss in the city final just 11 days earlier. MacNeill then fell 78-59 to No. 1 ranked Charles Tupper, however, the loss, did nothing to tarnish what program has been towards over the past decade.

“I’ve been at this for 11 years and (junior coach/assistant) Peter Thackwray has been here since the start,” smiled Ravens head coach Steward Siy. “Now we get to go to Langley and play four extra games. It’s going to be a lot of fun and a great experience.

“I should thank (the Richmond High) fans.

They were telling us to warm up the bus (at the city final). Now that bus is going to Lang-

ley. That atmosphere really helped us prepare (for today). We learned our lesson.”

The Sharks finished fourth in the Richmond League and entered the 12-team Mainland playoffs as the No. 8 seed among the 12 teams. Yet proved to be the surprise story of the week — giving Tupper their toughest game of the tournament then producing convincing wins over St. Thomas More and Richmond High to lock up a BC berth.

That meant longtime coach Mike Stoneburgh had to fulfill a bet.

“I walked into the locker room in one of our last home games and they were playing some music and I started dancing a little bit,” he chuckled. “They all got jacked up about it and they wanted me to keep going.

I said, ‘okay, if you guys want me to dance make provincials and I will dance.’ So that’s what I got to go and do right now.

“I have been saying since early February no one counted us in. No one gave us chance to be here and we just used that motto.”

Here are the Richmond all-stars from the Lower Mainland AAA and AA Tournaments.

3A Tournament All-Stars First Team: Hudson Swaim (MacNeill), Usman Tung (MacNeill), Ethan Wight (Steveston-London).

Second Team: Marco Wong (StevestonLondon), Jackson Thackwray (MacNeill), Anton Poburko (Richmond High).

2A Tournament All-Stars Second Team: Nicholas Berda (Hugh Boyd), Payton Hinds (Hugh Boyd).

Bright future for young Wildcats Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

A young McMath Wildcats team nearly produced the biggest upset of the B.C. AAA Girls Basketball Championships and went on to gain some valuable experience.

The Richmond champions and No. 11 seed opened the 16-team tournament with a 70-68 loss to No. 6 seed and eventual third place finisher Brookswood Bobcats.

The Wildcats then went on to place 12th by going 1-2 in consolation play — defeating Royal Bay 76-69, followed by narrow losses to Lord Byng (67-64) and Mount Baker (60-58).

The Brookswood defeat was undoubtedly the highlight of the week and proved what the Wildcats were capable of.

great execution. Just if one bounce goes the other way in the last minute we pull that one out.”

With plenty of underage talent logging loads of floor time, the Wildcats headed to the Langley Events Centre with modest expectations. Yet, it was hard not to think about the narrow loss over the next three days and it was struggle to find their top form again.

“I think it’s easier to come back the rest of the tournament if you get blown out by 40 on the first day rather than lose a close one and see that team go to the semifinals,” continued Kennedy. “I just felt that Brookswood game sucked everything out of us. But from an experience side this was really great for us.”

Guard Jenya Wilson, who poured in 28 against Brookswood, is the lone senior starter graduating.

They overcame a 41-30 halftime deficit by outscoring the perennial Fraser Valley powerhouse 22-9 in the third quarter — setting the stage for a back-and-forth final 10 minutes.

Players returning include Grade 8s Marina Radocaj and Caitlin Kippan who made remarkable progress and became valuable contributors in the rotation, especially over the last half of the season. Grade 10s Kate Carkner Caitlin Bradley-Tse and Abby Boden are also key players moving forward, joining Grade 11 and city MVP Liz Kennedy.

The next closest margin of victory on opening day was 14 points and that was a match-up between the tournament’s No. 8 and No. 9 seeds.

The team also featured: Morgan Flynn, Frann Trahan, Hope Chan, Leah Hillman, Jazmine Tufnail, Amani Mahamoor, Mackenzie Morton and Bella Lawson.

“We had a week to prepare and probably watched more Brookswood games than Brookswood parents have,” laughed McMath head coach Chris Kennedy.

“We were really ready with a great game plan and

Dramatic changes to senior girls basketball will take place next season with Richmond set to be part of a new South Fraser zone with Surrey and Delta schools, along with a new AAAA tier.

Richmond atheletes enjoy big 2nd week at Winter Games

A big final week for Richmond athletes also included four medals won by Steveston Judo Club members and a couple of hockey standouts helping the BC’s women’s team end a long podium drought.

Ian Ryder showed why he is one of the top up-and-coming judokas in the country and is taking his career to the national training centre in Montreal with a dominating performance.

He used one of his favourite throws twice to defeat Quebec’s Martin Penchev to take gold in the +81 kg. division.

“That’s a throw that I practice a lot. The uchi mata throw (one of the most tradition judo throws) is one I am confident with and I used it twice today to defeat him (Penchev),” said Ryder. “I didn’t get the full point on the first try but got it done on the second try to take the gold.”

Meanwhile, Caleigh Kuramoto continued what has become a family tradition by winning silver in the -57 kg. class. It’s the same medal her father Craig won when he competed at the 1987 Canada Winter Games in Cape Breton.

“I am proud of my podium finish. My dad walked away with a silver medal when he competed in the Canada Winter Games, so I am excited to be able to do that as well,” said Caleigh.

Both Steveston judoka added silver in the team competition.

Meanwhile, BC earned bronze in women’s hockey with a 5-4 victory over Ontario, reaching the podium for the first time in 28 years.

The team featured blueliner Kate Reilly and forward Katie Chan.

Kate Reilly & Katie Chan helped BC win bronze in hockey.

“It feels awesome. The whole game my heart was racing. We just have a great team and that last five seconds of the game you could really see it.” said Reilly, the team’s captain. “I had goosebumps and all I could think about in those last moments was don’t let it get to the net. My teammate had a great block and I just went crazy on the inside.”

Connaught Skating club standouts Wesley Chiu and David Li earned silver and bronze respectively in the Novice and Pre-Novice Men’s competitions.

In squash, Cindy Cao, Sarah Cao and Quen Ng came ever-so-close to capturing gold in the Female Team event, losing a tiebreaker to Ontario.

Meanwhile, James Toth and Gabriel Tun helped BC reached the gold medal match in the Male Team Event before also losing to Ontario.

“It is a huge honour to not only represent BC at the Canada Winter Games but to also be the flag bearer,” said the Grade 11 Richmond High student who plays out of the Clear One Badminton Centre in her hometown. “It is very special to me and I am extremely thankful for this opportunity to show my BC pride at my very first multisport event.”

Televised nationally on TSN, Zhang rallied for a 2-1 win over Ontario’s Talia Ng in the singles final. Zhang dropped the first game 21-12, then responded by taking the next two by 21-14 and 21-17 scores.

Her road to gold spanned over three days and included five wins. She defeated Quebec’s Camille Leblanc in the semi-finals (2114, 21-16) and got past Ontario’s Rachel Chan in the quarters (21-15, 21-19).

Earlier in the day, Zhang teamed with Clear One training partner Kylie Cheng to win doubles gold against Quebec’s Alyson Ruan and Leblanc. The match went the distance including a 22-20 deciding game.

Zhang/Cheng defeat another Quebec team in their semi-final match a day earlier that also went three games.

Zhang is a junior national team member and a Pan American Junior silver medalist.

Zhang is preparing to compete at the Junior Elites in Calgary and has qualified for the Pan Americans in Mexico late April.

Though she trains to compete in the individual sport she has thoroughly enjoyed competing in the team event.

“Being on a team makes me really proud,” she added. “There are always people behind you cheering you on.”

This year’s event, held last Friday at the Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel, raised a record $74,500.

That’s roughly 50 percent more than a year ago. It means more city kids will benefit from this wonderful program that provides financial assistance to play organized sports.

“Playing sports in the Lower Mainland is very expensive but the more we can do to help families that have kids that want to participate, then we will do it,” said Bob Jackson, chair of Richmond KidSport.

It was back in 2013 when the local chapter was struggling to even come up with $150 grants. That’s when

The 5G Dilemma

In the next year Canada will introduce 5G, the next generation of cellular mobile communications to vastly improve data usage, save energy, reduce costs, and enable businesses and consumers massive connectivity. But the country is embroiled in a debate on who should provide the technology, what national security considerations are necessary, and how Canada can ensure it does not lose pace with the rest of the world. Our panel discussion investigates the issues.

Deadline: June 3, 2019

“This past year it jumped to 40 percent. The cost of sport just keeps going up so now that we have more than we anticipated we will probably raise our maximum grant to $600 and we will be the first in the province to do so.”

we went up to $500, continued Jackson. “In 2017, 20 to 25 percent of the grants were for the maximum $500.

KidSport gala honourary chair Bobby Singh and master of ceremonies Fred Lee. the Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel offered to host a fundraising gala and cover all the food, labour and rental costs. The momentum has been building since with Richmond becoming the first BC chapter to offer maximum $500 grants.

Jackson says that number will rise again thanks to the tremendous success of this year’s event.

“After two years with the Hilton, the grants went up to $300. Another two years

with the Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel for making it all possible.

“We had an increase in the number of donations and the second thing was the increase in quality of those donations. “We had a sold-out crowd and probably more people with deeper pockets.

“They are more prepared to give, their children have left and they still want to contribute to their community.”

Deadline: July 29, 2019 Business in Vancouver continues to highlight the achievements of BC’s young entrepreneurs, executives and professionals by finding 40 outstanding professionals worthy of the Forty under 40 distinction. Winners are under 40 and have demonstrated excellence in business, judgment, leadership and community contribution.

Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the: Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711 Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email: inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.

75 WEST COAST GRILL ‘Fantastic’ fare, served up family-style From salmon, to share plates, to big, beefy burgers, come home to the West Coast at the new-andimproved 75 West Coast Grill Amazing. Incredible. Fantastic.

The superlatives abound in conversation with Yannick Simović.

As general manager of Vancouver Airport Marriott, Simović is clearly inspired — and excited — about the newly renovated restaurant, which is located inside the hotel on Westminster Highway in Richmond.

“It’s fantastic,” he says, and it’s hard not to agree once you’re inside.

“As soon as you walk through the doors, you experience that West Coast feel,” Simović says.

“The carpets look like sand, there are raindrops and wood… we wanted to reflect the beautiful place in which we live.”

WHERE COMFORT AND ELEGANCE CREATE A DISTINCTLY WEST COAST EXPERIENCE IN DOWNTOWN RICHMOND. Offering a contemporary menu, featuring handcrafted share plates, casual favourites and 12 craft beers on tap.

Daily Happy Hour from 3-6pm

REOPENING OFFER: TWO FOR ONE SHARE ITEMS.

WHEN YOU ORDER TWO ITEMS ON OUR SHARE MENU, YOU GET ONE OF EQUAL OR LESS PRICE. WHEN YOU SHOW THIS AD

“As soon as you walk through the doors, you experience that West Coast feel,” Simović says. “The carpets look like sand, there are raindrops and wood… we wanted to reflect the beautiful place in which we live.”

Simović explains that when the hotel underwent extensive upgrades, renovation plans had included the restaurant right from the beginning.

The decor is simple yet elegant, and a key feature can be found in the bar area, where a modern, trendy feel has been incorporated and customer capacity has doubled.

Simović particularly loves the new “soft seating” — moveable furniture that patrons can customize to their particular party.

“People can go in, move the couches around however they want.”

It’s all part of making 75 West Coast Grill guests feel at home in an eatery that strives to serve top-notch fare, family-style. And while the restaurant’s name (formerly American Grille) and surroundings may be different, 75 West Coast Grill is proud to offer the same quality cuisine and service you’ve come to expect in a freshly redesigned space.

FULL{

“Most of our staff have been with us since the opening of our hotel 20 years ago,” Simović says.

Executive Chef Danilo Ibarra and his culinary team, Sous Chefs Rolando Sanares and Mike Gonzales, have created a contemporary menu staying true to the Pacific Northwest, featuring B.C. wild salmon and seafood as staples, as well as an extensive “shared” section.

“The lamb dukkah is amazing, and the lobster mac ’n cheese, and we have an incredible Brussel sprouts and cauliflower dish,” Simović says. “It’s to die for.”

All the dishes, perfect for sharing, are sumptuously served bursting with flavours like truffle oil, garlic, parmesan, paprika, cilantro, sriracha mayo, chili and more.

For the truly adventurous, or the seriously famished, there’s even a decadent dare: Eat the two-pound Big D Burger in 20 minutes or less and it’s free.

“It can feed a party of eight,” Simovic says laughing.

“It’s massive.”

An important recent evolution in West Coast culinary delights has been the proliferation of quality craft beer, and 75 West Coast Grill isn’t one to be left out.

“We offer unbelievable beers,” says Simovic, citing a unique spicy brew — Sirens Chai Saison — as an example. In fact there is more than two dozen tasty porters, pilsners and IPAs on tap and by the bottle to choose from, along with cider and a decent wine list.

“We value being a part of the community, so we partner with Britannia Brewing Company, which is based out of Steveston Village,” Simović says.

An official launch of the new-and-improved restaurant is slated for mid-March.

75 West Coast Grill is located at 7571 Westminster Hwy., Richmond (at the Vancouver Airport Marriott).

Free parking. Reach them at 604-232-2804. For a full menu, visit 75west.ca
