Privacy laws can’t keep up

NEWS Richmond takes home gold in Newspaper Excellence category at BCYCNA COMMUNITY Teen’s dream to fly comes closer to reality ARTS ‘Invisible’ artist brought out of the shadows BUSINESS Accessibility is good for business: Hansen SPORTS The girls rugby program continues to thrive at McRoberts secondary

Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A story that caught my eye this week was one about YVR refusing to allow OpenMedia, a Vancouver-based internet privacy group, to advertise at Canada Line’s YVR station (page 9).

The proposed ad states “Your phone is not safe at the border; know your privacy rights.” It then directs people to OpenMedia’s website, borderprivacy.ca, which outlines privacy rights regarding searches at the border and how to submit a complaint if you feel those rights were violated.

16

5

The sticking point for YVR is not that the website informs people about their rights, but that it also encourages people to sign a petition that challenges current laws regarding border searches as they pertain to smart phones and other devices.

OpenMedia counters that if we’re serious about protecting people’s privacy, the petition is essential because the laws, as they currently stand, simply can’t do the job.

“The fact is the laws that govern these kind of searches are just so out of date. They haven’t been meaningfully changed to reflect how much information we carry on our phones now,” explained Victoria Henry, who has led this particular OpenMedia campaign.

However, for YVR, to advocate change is to venture into the realm of politics and YVR “aims to be non-political.”

The first thing that strikes me about this is simply the fact someone appears to be taking responsibility for a Canada Line ad. We’ve done numerous stories in the past about platform ads that have riled riders — mainly because they’ve been in Chinese only. However, when we’ve contacted TransLink, they’ve tended to wash their hands of responsibility. As long as the advertiser can afford it and the ad doesn’t promote something illegal, it’s good to go.

8

Recently, TransLink has put a disclaimer at the bottom of its vape ads, saying it doesn’t necessarily endorse the product.

Still, it’s happy to post the ad.

Regardless, YVR is a different story. There, the airport authority, a federal entity can, and obviously does, override TransLink policies.

22

I understand YVR doesn’t want to create undue stress for travellers with a somewhat menacing ad that warns people they may have their rights violated. However, the reality is they may. Given how quickly technology is developing, it’s not surprising our laws our outdated.

Granted, it’s our responsibility to educate ourselves and take measures to secure our data, but these challenges go beyond individual behaviours. Perhaps the best thing to come out of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where Facebook was found to have violated the privacy of millions of its users, is a robust discussion about privacy regulations, as well as a sobering realization of how few we have.

YVR may not want to appear political but the politics is already happening. Our privacy laws are struggling to keep up, that’s no secret and OpenMedia aren’t the only ones pointing that out. I’m not saying everyone should sign this petition, but I am saying we need to get informed and participate in the debate about privacy in our digital age if we don’t want to see the rights we take for granted slip away.

MP did Vandalism RSCL doesn’t get honour of church it both ways Easter not funny Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

Re: “Did Richmond MP, MLAs forget Easter?,” Letters, April 25.

Re: “Prank on church sign elicits laughs,” News, April 25.

I would like to thank Eric Hanson for reminding us of the importance that faith and spirituality plays in the lives of many Richmond residents. That is why, along with wishing our Jewish neighbours a joyous Passover, I also wished Richmond Christians a happy and joyous Easter, in the love and compassion of the risen Christ.

I enjoy reading the Richmond News every week and think the stories are interesting and relevant. However, this past week I was a little taken aback by one of the articles entitled “Pranked Richmond church sign elicits laughs.”

Please note that the Richmond News decided to place my Easter greetings in its April 11 printed edition on page A21 and placed my Passover greetings in its April 18 printed edition.

Re: “Equal pay for equal work,” Letters, April 18; “Lower pay for non-union employees irks RSCL,” News, April 25.

I understand that the first response may be to laugh at this prank, but at the same time, I don’t think we should be condoning it. Not taking this matter seriously sets a precedent for the way other people can treat churches and religious organizations in Richmond.

Though the prank appeared harmless, it was insensitive, especially during a holy weekend for people of this religion. I only hope that there will be no more actions like this showing flippant vandalism, and that all of us would be more careful to make light of something that may have stung a person’s belief.

Janice Barr, the Executive Director of the Richmond Society for Community Living (RSCL), is disingenuous on several fronts.

In her letter published last week, she states that “through the process of collective bargaining, the provincial government agreed to provide funding increases” as though this were some mysterious phenomenon in which the unionized frontline workers are missing. As a sometime member of the employers’ bargaining committee, she knows differently.

She also says that she wants to see people compensated based on the work they complete, not based on being a union member or not.

In other words, she wants to undermine the entire collective bargaining system, eliminating the rationale for unions entirely. In truth, unions in this sector have achieved what she and other employers have not negotiated: funding for fair wages and benefits from the provincial

Community social service workers who belong to unions pay dues and agree to act collectively to bargain more powerfully. They have taken job action to further their demands, including a landmark 11-week strike in 1999. They had their constitutional rights violated by the BC Liberals with Bill 29 and had hard-won collective agreements torn up, wages gutted, and benefits sacrificed. I don’t recall any public outrage or even letters to the editor from Ms. Barr or other employers when the Liberals tore up collective agreements and cut services and jobs.

The truth is the current non-union staff at RSCL have a choice. They can join a union (hopefully without the interference from the boss), and act collectively, pooling their power and paying dues with the result that they achieve better outcomes like their co-workers who are union members. Or, they can decide to act as free agents and rely on the goodwill of their employer and the government of the day.

If it’s been grown, baked or hand-crafted in Richmond or elsewhere in the Fraser Valley, chances are you’ll find it at the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market, which holds its season opener this Sunday, May 5.

The market, which runs two Sundays each month through to the end of September, is back for its 11th season with 50 - 70 vendors providing a unique, local opportunity to buy produce and other goods the old fashioned way.

“In our farmers’ market all the vendors either grow, bake, make or catch what they are selling,” said Alan Sakai, the market’s committee chairperson who also oversees the event’s operations.

“For example, all of the farm produce sold at the market has to be grown locally here in Richmond, or come from no further than the Okanagan Valley. Essentially, what we are trying to do is promote the pioneer spirit,” he explained.

Some of the Richmond-grown produce includes seasonal items such as strawberries, blueberries, corn, plus other fruits and vegetables raised in local hothouses that are available throughout the market season.

“Our vendors are special. They simply love what they are doing,” Sakai said. “These folks are out there to share their skills and products.”

Sponsored by the Richmond Industrial and Agricultural Society, the market is run by a small army of volunteers. All profits raised by the market support activities and projects of the Steveston Community Centre.

Held in the Easthope parking lot across from the Steveston Community Centre, the market opens, rain or shine, at 10:30 a.m. and closes at 3:30 p.m. And when the sun comes out, there can be as many as 3,000 people visiting the site where they are entertained by live music and a children’s area with plenty of activities. But there is so much more to do during a trip to the market.

“We want people to plan and come visit Steveston,” Sakai said. “The market is just one of the wonderful things people can do when they come down here. Aside from the market, they can visit other stores and restaurants in the village and enjoy everything the destination of Steveston has to offer.”

Parking during market days is available in the Steveston Community Centre lot, as well as other sites in the adjacent Steveston village area.

Parents: beware of screen time, trash Dear Editor, Re: “$8 Tablet strollers replace free ones at Richmond Centre,” News, April 18; “Family fights for foam ban,” News, March 28; Your Voice, April 18, 2019 It came as no surprise that Richmond Centre Mall is now charging $8 to rent strollers — asking customers to pay for something we do not actually need is the mantra of malls everywhere.

But that is not really the most concerning detail.

The fact that parents (as revealed by the “Your Voice” response to this issue) are still unaware of the significant dangers posed by screen time to infant and toddler aged children is frustrating.

Yes, as one parent noted, shopping will be “a breeze,” but is she aware of the most recent study from the University of Alberta that has found preschoolers exposed to two or more hours of screen time per day — including TV and mobile devices — struggle with clinically significant behavioural problems?

To the family that was tired of seeing piles of trash all over our fair city’s sidewalks and parks, and decided to take a bag out with them and just pick up what they saw, bravo!

At the school where I work, we have a plastics recycling program in which all snack plastics, soft plastics and hard plastics are collected each day and taken to the Richmond Recycling Depot (5555 Lynas Ln.).

Literally thousands of plastics that would have ended up in landfills, the bellies of animals or the ocean have been diverted.

The next step is eliminating our single plastic use entirely.

A challenge? Yes. But, like resisting the urge to hand over an electronic device to a toddler, even though it might make your shop easier, we must make challenging changes to our lifestyle if our children’s future is going to be a healthy one.

Parents, teachers, children, all citizens: Are you willing to step up?

If not you, then who?

Empathy lacking for Congrats on Hamilton homeless newspaper award nomination Dear Editor.

Re: “Growing tent city raises residents’ ire, sparks fear,” News, April 11

Your story stated that there was a resident who “heard“ that windows were being broken, and bikes and cars disappearing. Yet the RCMP states there has been no increase in crime in the area.

Another worry by a resident was in regards to the daycare nearby. Yet there has been no complaints from the daycare. I know of six tents in the camp, however, these people are from renovictions. The RCMP patrol the area several times a day. It said that the campers are keeping the place clean and the city is picking up garbage. The fire department visits three times a week for safety checks. The city checks in daily.

I realize this is not what the residents want around their community, but these homeless people are actively looking for somewhere to live in coordination with the programs available.

It’s unfortunate that some people in the community are relying on what they have heard, and not what the real situation is. This sounds like a temporary unfortunate situation, that could not be monitored better. I find it sad that the residents are not being factual according to the authorities. Our society has really gone downhill to a point where there seems to be no empathy anymore.

Dear Editor, Re: “Ma Murray’s tradition lives,” Voices, April 25.

The Richmond News received gold in Newspaper Excellence at the annual B.C. & Yukon Community Newspaper Association’s Ma Murray Awards on Saturday.

“This is our decathlon,” Chow said, adding that there are still areas the paper can improve on over the coming year.

Judges praised the paper for its “front page that grabs your attention, and sleek, interesting design and layout throughout.”

“All our hard work is being recognized whether it’s positive, or areas of future improvement.”

“The Richmond News is unique in leading with an op-ed and letters, which seems to tell readers it is THEIR paper, THEIR VOICE,” the judges wrote. “Strong reporting with lots of well-rounded local content…A well-rounded publication that is succeeding on every level.”

For Alvin Chow, publisher of the News, the gold win was a testament to the team’s work over the entire year.

“The paper also has a great and unique website, supplemented by social media,” the judges wrote.

The News was also a finalist for its election night coverage in the Multimedia Breaking News Story Award category, receiving silver.

“Election day coverage was bol-

stered through the ingenious use of a Facebook Live discussion providing viewers/readers with immediate colour commentary,” the judges wrote.

That coverage led to the highest number of views in a single day in 2018 for the News, and helped break monthly page view records.

Chow commended the newsroom’s teamwork and “innovative approach” on election day, adding that the use of Facebook Live did not leave any room for errors.

“The interesting part and the challenging part, which I think is the most exciting part is, not only did we not make a mistake, but we were really natural and the teamwork and the coordination was second to none,” he said.

“We were able to react to unpredictable circumstances.”

The Ma Murray awards are held each year to celebrate achievement amongst member community publications across the province.

REALTOR WARNING

at Richmond-News.com

Mayors push faster tunnel timeline Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A quicker timelime, the possibility of pushing a rail line through, a bored tunnel with eight lanes, including two for bikes and pedestrians – these are some of the priorities identified by Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie and some of his colleagues from the region to replace the gridlocked George Massey Tunnel.

YVR rejects ad on digital privacy Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Passing through international security can be a daunting process, especially when a traveller doesn’t know his or her rights.

But one group is criticizing Vancouver International Airport after its ads aiming to demystify the process by pointing travellers to information on digital privacy rights were rejected.

OpenMedia, a Vancouver-based internet privacy group, says it tried to place an ad at the Canada Line’s YVR station, which the airport has authority over.

The ads promote the group’s website, borderprivacy.ca, which was made in partnership with British Columbia Civil Liberties Association and provides resources in multiple languages outlining rights on having digital devices searched at the border and how to submit a complaint if those rights are violated.

The website also links to a petition seeking change to these search laws.

Victoria Henry, a rights campaigner at OpenMedia who has led this particular campaign, told the Richmond News they were surprised to see the ads rejected.

“There were a lot of different directions we could have taken the ad in, you know we could have said something really outrageous…it simply informs people about their rights at the border,” Henry said.

“This is a huge issue for a lot of people and a lot of people in Canada and folks who are crossing our border just don’t know anything about these rules and some of the vulnerabilities and potential privacy violations they could be facing.”

The key issue, Henry explained, is that the laws haven’t been updated in quite some time, but cellphone use has increased significantly.

“Most people would barely hand over their phone to a good friend, much less a border agent who kind of wants to come through and a take a look at all the information on there,” she said.

“The fact is the laws that govern these kind of searches are just so out of date. They haven’t been meaningfully changed to reflect how much information we carry on our phones now.”

YVR explained to the News by email that they felt the ad “pitted two groups against each other and it also has potential to add undue stress to the travel experience.”

The airport also stated that it “aims to be non-political” and felt the link to a petition was problematic.

A group of mayors and First Nations chiefs, including Brodie and Delta Mayor George Harvie, released a letter they sent to the premier asking for the timeline of construction to be sped up to 2025/2026 as well as stating their support for a tunnel rather than a bridge. They added the provincial construction timeline seemed to point to a completion date of 2030.

The City of Delta was previously in support of building a bridge, but consensus was reached by the group, which included the mayors of Vancouver, Surrey and White Rock and chiefs from Tsawwassen and Musqueam first nations, for a tunnel.

“But ultimately why I personally wouldn’t change that is because I think that knowing your rights is only half of the equation...the real way people can actually protect themselves is to challenge these laws.”

YVR added that they provide their own resource website on passenger rights at www.yvr.ca/passengerrights and advertises this site on its digital signage throughout the airport.

Regardless of YVR’s rejection, Henry said OpenMedia hopes the ads will run on other areas of public transit.

As the province moves ahead with its plans to replace the George Massey Tunnel — after cancelling the previous government’s 10-lane bridge plan — it asked the Metro Vancouver board last week to endorse the goals and principles it has developed through its consultation process.

The principles of the project are safety, reliability, connectivity and aligning with regional goals. In addition to the rail link possibility, its goals include supporting the sustainability of the Fraser River communities and different modes of transportation, for example, high-occupancy lanes and pedestrian and bike lanes.

Brodie said he doesn’t have a prioritized list of what’s most important for Richmond on this list — although a tunnel is preferable to a bridge for Richmond — but he added the previous iteration of replacing the tunnel had several big problems.

“The fact was the project was absolutely massive, there were environmental concerns, concerns about the river, agriculture concerns, certainly the urban impact was going to be felt by the people in Richmond, southeast Richmond, and on it goes,” Brodie said.

For Henry, however, asking for change from the government is a key part of the group’s campaign.

“I think that’s a big freedom of expression issue and I don’t think that everyone would agree that the airport should have rejected (the ad) for that reason,” she said.

“It’s close to the airport, it’s central, there’s a lot of facilities in the area, a lot of restaurants, there’s a lot of shopping opportunities, the outlet mall’s right here, so it’s perfect for travellers to have a good stop here,” she said.

The hotel, which only allows guests aged 18 and older, aims to provide convenient accommodation at affordable rates. The catch, however, is that guests must be willing to spend the night in a “sleeping pod.”

These sleeping pods, which are stacked two high, are divided into male and female dorms and are just

large enough for a mattress and a small side table that comes out from the wall. They have hooks to hang clothes, adjustable ventilation and a privacy screen to pull down over the entrance. Each guest is also given access to shared washrooms and a place to store luggage.

Already, Cheung said they’ve had interest from both investors and travellers.

“Two nights ago we got about 20 calls between 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and we’re not even open yet,” she said, suspecting the calls may have been due to a delayed flight.

A 60-year-old woman is facing nine charges, after being arrested at YVR as part of a suspected airport theft ring.

Miriam Fajardo, 60, a foreign national, has been charged with one count of obstructing a police officer, two counts related to possessing iden-

tity documents and six counts of theft under $5,000. The alleged offences happened between March 2 and April 19 at or near the airport.

The Richmond News reported last week how the woman was arrested at YVR as part of a police crackdown on organized crime.

The woman was alleged to have stolen a purse from a passenger in the international arrivals terminal on Wednesday, April 17 around 10 a.m.

Richmond RCMP’s YVR detachment has been deploying plain-clothes teams to conduct surveillance on these types of crimes originating in March.

Police are looking at the possibility of linking multiple instances of theft to this woman, while a number of law enforcement agencies, besides the RCMP, are interested in the accused.

Richmond bus Sexual harassment ridership jumps at casino probed Megan Devlin MDEVLIN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

More people than ever are taking transit throughout Metro Vancouver, and Richmond saw the second-highest growth in bus boardings in the region last year.

From 2017 to 2018, the number of people who made a trip by bus in Richmond and South Delta grew by 8.8 per cent.

TransLink released its annual ridership numbers Thursday, and between 2017 and 2018 reported its biggest single-year jump in ridership ever. Boardings grew by 7.1 per cent across the system.

“If we are going to cure congestion, we need to invest in both new transportation infrastructure and service expansion to

make commutes quicker and easier now, and into the future,” Mayors’ Council chair Jonathan Coté said in a news release.

Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The 99 B-Line between UBC and Vancouver was again the most travelled bus route, with 17,141,000 boardings in 2018. None of Richmond’s bus routes were among the region’s top 10 busiest.

B.C.’s Attorney General has released two reports linked to allegations of sexual harassment and assault on River Rock Casino staff by customers.

In April, two of Richmond’s major bus routes added temporary terminus stops on Ackroyd Road just east of No. 3 Road.

The 406 and 408 now loop around and stop in front of PriceSmart.

The first report, released Wednesday morning by David Eby, is a workplace review by BCLC, via Paladin Security.

It probed harassment allegations made by casino staff in 2017, and subsequent actions taken by BCLC and casino owners, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation. According to Eby, the Paladin Security report confirmed casino staff reported incidents of alleged assault by customers.

A TransLink spokesperson said the decision was made to give riders access to shops and businesses in the area, based on community feedback.

Once construction in the area wraps up, TransLink and the city will decide whether those Ackroyd stops will be permanent.

And, as soon as BCLC became aware of potential non-reporting by Great Canadian, it reported the incidents to the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, as required under the Gaming Control Act.

Parking bollards cost $2,000 The price to keep Richmond’s drivers off a sidewalk — underneath a “no vehicles on sidewalk” sign — appears to be $2,000, paid for by Richmond residents.

That’s how much it cost for a City of Richmond

crew to install a set of three bollards at the site on Hollybridge Way in the Olympic Oval precinct.

After reporting last week about the white Mercedes parking on a sidewalk, right next to the sign, and then the bollards going up last Thursday, the Richmond News asked the city on Tuesday how much it cost the taxpayer.

The second report is the branch’s regulatory investigation into whether the casino

An explicit photo of the original misdemeanour was uploaded to Facebook group “Richmond Learns to Park” about 10 days ago

by Paul Phelan. Phelan’s caption read “Richmond: the only place where you need a sign that says no vehicles on the sidewalk, yet it’s still disobeyed.”

This report, says the government, found that “all incidents that were required to be reported to police had been reported, and there was no evidence the casino’s management or employees had suppressed reports,” according to a news release.

However, the investigation also determined that a small number of incidents were not reported to the branch.

The branch investigated these unreported incidents and made eight recommendations, aimed at “protecting casino staff from potential harassment and strengthening internal procedures.”

These recommendations include ensuring service providers are aware of reportable offences, clarifying reporting requirements, additional training for frontline staff and instituting player codes of conduct at all service-provider locations.

The branch is “working with BCLC and service providers to address these recommendations.”

Richmond kids, most cavities Alyse Kotyk AKOTYK@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Vancouver Coastal Health is sounding the alarm over high rates of dental cavities amongst Richmond children.

In fact, according to the health authority, Richmond kids have the highest rate of dental cavities across the Lower Mainland, with two out of every five kindergarten children in the city having had tooth decay.

“It may seem like baby teeth aren’t important since they fall out and are replaced, but, lifelong dental health starts with baby teeth,” said Dr. Meena Dawar, medical health officer for VCH in a press release.

“Children need healthy baby teeth to sleep, smile and eat properly. Healthy baby teeth are an important part of children’s speech development and selfconfidence, and play a significant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth.”

According to the Canadian Dental As-

sociation, tooth brushing should begin as soon as the first tooth can be seen with a soft-bristled brush that should be used twice per day.

Also, it’s important to ensure the toothpaste being used has fluoride, because it’s not added to the water in the Lower Mainland.

VCH says fluoride “bonds” with the surface of teeth which can help them stay resistant to bacteria and decay.

“As a Richmond dentist, I see a considerable number of cases of preventable dental decay in young children,” said Dr. Randy Shew, chair of the BC Dental Association’s Childhood Dental Care Education Task Force.

The BC Dental Association’s website, bcdental.org, has a list of dentists accepting new patients, including those who treat children under four years. Additionally, VCH offers a no-cost dental program for low-income families with children up to five years of age in Richmond. To access those services, call the Richmond Public Health Dental Program at 604-233-3104.

File your tax return, even if you can’t pay If you have not yet filed your 2019 tax return, you are late. If you owe tax, CRA will impose various fines and high interest. But you should file, because if you don’t file, you may miss out of certain benefits linked to a tax return. For example, at an annual income over $75,910, CRA starts to claw back your OAS. At $122,843 you get all your OAS clawed back. So by filing, at least CRA will know your income and the claw back is handled properly and promptly so that any person does not lose.

In addition, any person applying for a mortgage or other loan, will have to show a Notice of Assessment, so if they have not filed their tax return, they will not qualify for the loan. Even if you owe no tax, can’t pay what you owe, or where perhaps you may not have received a T-4 you have been waiting for, file your return.

RAPS’ lawyer up for changemaker award Megan Devlin MDEVLIN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The lawyer for Richmond’s Regional Animal Protection Society is in the running to be named one of Canadian Lawyer magazine’s top 25 most influential lawyers of 2019.

Rebeka Breder was nominated for her work fighting for animal rights in Canada.

Recently, the magazine said, she’s taken up a groundbreaking case for the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition suing the federal government over how it transports horses to slaughter.

On top of taking cases for non-profits like RAPS and the BC SPCA, she also organizes conferences and gives lectures on animal law. She co-founded an animal law course at the University of British Columbia and founded the first animal law section of the Canadian Bar Association.

“I’ve always been, literally since I was a little girl growing up in Montreal, involved in animal rights movement,” Breder told the Richmond News. “I believe animals deserve protection and rights.”

In 2001, she went into law with the goal of becoming a lawyer to help animals.

“I chose to work with RAPS because I really believe in their mission and their vision, which is to help as many animals as they can in the community.”

Lawyer-MPs Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jagmeet Singh were also nominated to be among this year’s most influential lawyers.

Other B.C. lawyers in the running include Michael Feder for his work helping people with disabilities; Paul Doroshenko for his political and legal advocacy over problems with roadside alcohol detecting devices; Victoria Shroff for her work with animal law; Kay Scorer for her work on immigration and LGBTQ+ issues; Robyn Task with the BC Teachers’ Federation.

The top 25 lawyers are chosen via online voting. You can vote for your picks on Canadian Lawyer’s website until May 14.

Breder is nominated in the Changemakers category.

Much-loved former Richmond resident Martin Lintag has lost his year-long fight with leukemia.

In an unsuccessful, but brave, search for a stem cell match, Lintag managed to galvanize hundreds of people across Richmond and the Lower Mainland, many of whom were from his Filipino community.

“It is with profound sadness that I inform you of the passing of my beloved cousin, Martin Lintag, at 11:30pm on Sunday, April 21 after a courageous battle with leukemia,” wrote his cousin, Ammabelle Lacorte Basco, in a Facebook post.

“He was surrounded by his loving parents, Bong and Linda, his loving Auntie Fely and Tito Ed, and his loving friend Jess Johnson.

“My Uncle Bong and Auntie Linda have asked me to pass on their heartfelt thanks to family and friends for their prayers, their words of encouragement, their expressions of love and their support during Martin’s battle with leukemia.”

Bill said he was also more concerned about Chris’ health than the loss of his potential flying career.

Ever since he could walk, Chris Gillies has been in the cockpit with his commercial pilot dad, Bill.

“But I was disappointed for him,” said Bill, whose wife and Chris’ mom is also in the airline industry.

And before he’d even graduated from elementary school, Chris was behind the controls in the air, being shown how to take off and land small aircraft.

“So to have this door open for him through Transport Canada means the world. We only heard because I was talking to a Transport Canada doctor in Ottawa.

So when the now 19-year-old McMath secondary grad received the shock of being diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes almost two years ago, his dreams of following in his father’s footsteps were over.

“He told me they were changing the legislation. Technology has changed so much that they can monitor your blood sugar levels much better.

That was the case, until two months ago, when Transport Canada changed the legislation which previously prevented Type-1 diabetics from gaining a commercial flying licence.

“Canada has been at the forefront of diabetic research around the world and (is) the first country to allow diabetics to get a commercial license. If you were already a pilot, before getting diagnosed, you could be grandfathered in.”

Now, after being one of the first in the province to pass the new medical examinations for candidates in his position, Chris’ dream of becoming a commercial pilot is very much back on.

“Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve wanted to fly, as far back as I can remember,” Chris told the Richmond News.

Chris could become one of the first pilots diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes to get a commercial flying licence, after the federal government changed the rules. Alan Campbell photo

“And when I got out of high school two years ago, I pretty much realized that’s what I wanted to do. “(The diagnosis) was completely out of the blue. I felt really sick and incredibly thirsty; nothing would (quench) the thirst.”

Chris, who lives with his parents in Steveston, said he didn’t think too much initially about the loss of his dream career, focusing instead on coping with his newfound health problem.

“I could still get a recreational licence, but not a commercial one with my diagnosis. I remember thinking ‘that sucks.’”

Just a couple of months ago, however, Chris, who works at YVR as a ramp agent, found out via his dad that Transport Canada were in the process of changing the rules, which would allow people with pre-existing Type-1 diabetes to ap-

“What we’re going to do this summer is fly across Canada (in our four-seater Cessna 172) to build up his experience to log the hours,” said Bill, who’s been flying for 43 years and currently works for Sunwing.

A Richmond secondary school’s robotics team has returned from the world championships in Houston without a trophy, but with their collective heads held very high.

The Burnett boys, who stunned everyone at the Canadian Pacific Regional Championships in Victoria last month with their wooden robot, managed to make it to the quarter-finals in their division at the worlds last week. “(They) only lost their final match by one point,” said their proud principal, Wennie Walker, via email.

“They were such a hit that one of the NASA engineering mentors...invited the team to the

inaugural Canadian International Space Settlement Design Competition in May at UBC. The kids are very excited.”

The Richmond News told last month how the Burnett robotics team pressured their teacher into entering the Canadian Pacific Regional Championships in Victoria, despite having barely enough cash to build a robot.

Seeded last of 35 in a competition awash with richly sponsored rivals from around the world, the rookie team’s cheap and cheerful 125-pound, 30-square-inch wooden invention won the team alliance category and were on their way to Houston.

RICHMOND NEWS

A19

latest news at Richmond-News.com thletes in a popular running group, that connects people new to Canada from China, have started organizing community cleanup runs, picking up several bags of garbage from Metro Vancouver parks.

A

Lapower Running Club boasts more than 1,200 members in five Lower Mainland cities, with about 350 members in the Richmond chapter.

“We help people get out the door and have a short run...and chat to build up the community,” said Richmond member Donna An. Group members primarily communicate via WeChat, a Chinese social network and messaging app. They meet for weekly social runs, distance runs and monthly “plogging” adventures — where they don vests and grab tongs to pick up trash.

RISING

ABOVE THE RUBBISH Donna An’s running club (above, at Minoru Park running track) has decided to pick litter along the way (above, right), in a bid to break negative stereotypes about Asians and keep their community clean. Starting the club was also a great way, says An, for new immigrants to meet new friends. Photos submitted.

“Caucasians, or people here a long time, see a group of Chinese people picking up garbage and they find it interesting,” An said. “There are stereotypes...about Chinese people. This is an effort to make a change.”

The runners see it as a good way to give back to the community and protect the environment. When they started, though, An said she was disappointed at how much garbage they found in Pacific Spirit Park and near Burnaby Lake — three bags at each location.

“It’s very sad to see all the garbage,” An said. “But it feels good for our team.”

So far they’ve tackled the Vancouver and Burnaby parks, and hope to organize one in Richmond soon.

An, who grew up in Beijing, was one of the founders of the club. She started it with other

Mother's Day

runners when she moved to Vancouver after finishing her studies in Calgary.

“I came to Vancouver in 2014, and at that time, I had no friends. It was a completely new city,” she said. “I liked running. So I was like, maybe I should just go out running and try to kill some time.”

She credits the group with helping her make friends, including finding her husband.

“Running can be boring. But it can be so social and very romantic,” she said.

An admires the strength of many of her female running friends. Some are mothers raising their children alone, while their husbands work in China.

Whether the goal is just to get outside or to train for a race, members support each other.

Lapower has 85 people doing the Bank of Montreal Vancouver Marathon on May 5— the third largest group that’s registered.

“We try to use running as a healthy approach to letting people know you can enjoy Vancouver, or life in Canada, in a different way,” An said. “Not only go out partying.

We try to let people know that there are healthier ways to build community.”

Daisy Xiong DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

This spring, Richmond Art Gallery will present a new art installation called “With wings like clouds hung from the sky,” by Montreal-based artist Karen Tam. Since 2014, Tam has researched artist Lee Nam, a Chinese immigrant to B.C. in the early 20th century, and a friend of Canadian artist Emily Carr. At the exhibition, Tam evokes the life of Nam and his influence on Emily Carr in the 1930s.

“I came across him when I was reading one of the journals published by Emily Carr...she describes going to a studio to visit one of (Nam’s) exhibitions that he put on,” recalled Tam. “I just thought he was a very interesting figure because, at that time in Canada, Chinese immigrants were mostly working… we

didn’t really hear about (Chinese) artists.”

When Tam tried to discover more about the Chinese-Canadian artist, she couldn’t find any information about him outside of Emily Carr’s documentation.

“Perhaps one way to do the research is to reimagine, what his studio might have looked like based on Emily Carr’s descriptions, and through that bring his presence out, give him visibility,” said Tam.

The public can also learn about Chinese painting on the spot and add their paintings to the exhibition. Tam said she hopes during the exhibition, the audience will discover artists in the community that they didn’t know and learn about “formerly invisible artists such as Lee Nam.” “It’s maybe also for people to question who is and who isn’t part of Canadian or Chinese art history and how can we change that; how can we add to that,” said Tam.

A restored studio of Nam will be displayed at the exhibition, along with a copy of a painting Nam created.

Tam will also include historical paintings of some of the greatest Chinese painters in history, such as Qi Baishi, as well as inviting

Canada, viewed through immigrant lens Daisy Xiong DXIONG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

When Toronto-based writer and art critic Amy Fung came to live in Vancouver, she recalled that it was post-Olympics and there was a fervour over how no one could afford housing because of the Chinese.

For the first time, she encountered how her skin colour was what people saw first and how they had a preconceived idea of what that means.

“I want to unpack some of those things (in the book), in terms of

how media and dominant Canadian culture can separate things like race and class,” said Fung.

Fung will launch her new book, Before I was a Critic, I Was a Human Being, in Richmond in May, discussing what it means to be a Canadian. In her book, she raises questions about identity, through the lens of an immigrant.

“As someone who lives in Richmond and Vancouver, you probably know that there are severe forms of racism in the city, in the country,” Fung told the Richmond News.

“As Asians, as minorities, we don’t get the worst of it, but we also don’t really get to talk about

Fung’s book looks at where Canadians are right now in terms of how people look at race and talk about it through both the arts and in the daily interactions she experienced. “(It) is the lens where I am foreign born — I’m born in Hong Kong, I’ve lived across the country in many different places,” she noted.

The book also offers conversations Fung has found missing, such as Canadian history and stories of immigrant lives told from their own perspectives. She added that a lot of immigrants’ stories are about the trauma of exile, the

Also pictured (from left) are her sister, Calysta, mom, Yolanda, the Richmond legion’s Bill Costain, Ken Harvey and Scott Stewart, and father Ben. Alan Campbell photo A Richmond elementary student has won a Canada-wide poster contest connected to Remembrance Day. Yelena Domingo, a Grade 7 student at Westwind in Steveston, won the junior category of the Royal Canadian Legion competition.

For her efforts, Yelena was awarded two plaques (one for her, one for her school) and two cheques for $250 (one each from the legion’s B.C./Yukon and national commands).

Presenting the plaques and cheques to Yelena were the Richmond legion’s Bill Costain and Scott Stewart, along with the legion’s

past zone commander, Ken Harvey.

Asked what she plans to do with her $500, Yelena smiled at her parents and said, “I’d like to save half of it and then go on a complete shopping spree…if I’m allowed to.”

Costain said it was an “awesome piece of artwork, which really shows talent. But what’s more important...is that the poster represents the sacrifice made.”

As well as her prizes, Yelena’s poster will be displayed in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa from June to May the following year.

Richmond midwives open new clinic Megan Devlin MDEVLIN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A group of Richmond midwives is hosting an open house Sunday, inviting community members and healthcare practitioners to learn more about the profession and mark the International Day of the Midwife while showing off their new clinic.

Jenny Emerson, a registered midwife, said she’s proud of the space that opened this year because it retains medical professionalism but feels more comfortable than a doctor’s office.

She meets with women on couches as opposed to an examining table.

“We really honour and respect women as primary decision-makers for their care,” Emerson said.

Midwifery became registered profession in B.C. in 1998. Now, midwives are covered under the provincial Medical Services Plan and are considered primary care providers.

They can order blood tests, ultrasounds, prescribe pregnancy-related medications and refer women to specialist physicians. Registered midwives have graduated from a four-year university program they enter after completing at least a year of post-secondary studies.

Emerson thinks one of the

Hi Rob, I live in a 25 year old Strata Building. Last year we had a couple emergency service calls for our boilers, a couple drain line backups and a few leaks. Our Plumbing costs were quite high. Are we using the wrong Plumbing Company?

Tom- Steveston

A:

A:

Hi Tom, I can’t say you are using the wrong Plumbing Company but, I will guess you are using the wrong approach. Responding to Emergencies is exponentially, higher, cost than preventative maintenance!

Your boilers should be serviced and inspected at least once a year(filters changed, heating water checked, turned on and off seasonally and checked for deficiencies). This will increase their longevity, increase energy efficiency and stay compliant with all warranties. You should not have your Boilers going down if they are maintained properly. This applies to all of your equipment.

Drain back-ups can be very costly, (especially flooding repair) and they are completely avoidable. Have all of your drain lines hydro-jetted annually.

You would be amazed by the amount of grease and debris that people put down the drain. Grease sticks like glue inside pipes and is back-up waiting to happen!

The best thing about Preventative Maintenance is that it can be planned and budgeted for. Ask your Plumbing Company to do a full Mechanical Audit of your building and give you a yearly maintenance quote.

If they don’t do that, give us a call. We will give you a quote for free.

benefit my skin? What’s the best way to get it into my body?

True, collagen, along with elastin fibres in the proper ratio, restores elasticity to your skin and holds moisture in those areas, but they also benefit your bones, hair, nails, gut, and joints. Collagen is abundant in your diet if you regularly eat cow tendons, chicken cartilage, pig skin, fish, bone marrow, and bone broth. If not, products such as Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s Active Collagen™ (capsules containing an 85% collagen and 5% elastin blend from wild fish) and CanPrev’s Collagen™ (liquid containing Type I and III hydrolyzed collagens from bovine source) offer healthy, balanced sources of collagen that provide the necessary structural support to the various tissues, including keeping your skin toned, well-hydrated, and supple to touch. Benefits could be realized in as little as one month of use, and prolonged use will have additive and prolonged effects. Take care in your selection, as your allergy status may dictate which formulation is safest. Come see our integrative pharmacists at Pharmasave Steveston Village to learn what is best for you.

Can Chiropractic Help with Q: How TMJ Syndrome?

A:

TMJ syndrome may involve radiating pain, especially to the jaw line and ear, irritating the auditory canal. There may be aching facial pain, pain around and in the ear, and locking of the TMJ, interfering with normal opening and closing of the mouth.

Chiropractic care is an especially important component of a comprehensive, holistic program of treatment for TMJ syndrome.

Chiropractic care detects, analyzes, and corrects spinal nerve irritation and spinal joint dysfunction. In the case of TMJ syndrome, the vertebral joints of the neck and their associated spinal nerves may be specifically implicated. Additionally, using gentle manual procedures directed toward the TMJ itself, chiropractic care is able to relax and reduce muscle spasm in the jaw muscles surrounding the TMJ and help to restore normal TMJ mobility. Additional treatment for TMJ syndrome may include use of a mouth retainer at night (nocturnal occlusal guard) to act as a “sling” and help prevent grinding of the teeth while asleep.

Overall, chiropractic care provides specific treatment for TMJ syndrome.

Your chiropractor may also recommend a restorative nutrition program and exercise routines to assist your overall recovery and return to optimal health and well-being.

Q:

I had bought a few $20 for $20 from the Royal Canadian Mint and decided I did not want them anymore. When I took them to the bank they would not take them and they sent me to your store, However you would not take them either.What is going on with these coins?

One way to understand the difference between a buyer’s market and a seller’s market in more tangible terms is to measure the market in “months of inventory”. In other words, we can take the number of active listings and divide it by the total number of sold transactions within the same month to give us the months of inventory.

A:

The same thing is happening here in Canada with clients that I know of buying thousands of dollars of these coins on their credit cards and receiving bonuses that their cards give. I know a person who racked up so many Aeroplan miles that he took 4 trips for free. I tell people that if they phoned up their local bank and asked for a special $20 bill in a special package and- wanted it mailed to them for free but also to be able to charge it to their credit card to receive that 2% cash back, the bank would hang up while laughing at you. This is why the banks do not want them. The Royal Canadian mint store here in Vancouver and the actual Mint in Ottawa will not take them.

The Royal Canadian Mint has now stopped producing these type of coins as they were being flooded with complaints from people trying to get their money back from the government.

Therefore, this is why I will not take them. I feel sorry for people but if I cannot even break even on a deal then I cannot do the deal.

Jim Richardson

As a general rule, 5 to 6 months of inventory is considered to be a normal or balanced market. Over 6 months of inventory and we have buyer’s market. Less than 5 months and we have a seller’s market. Keep in mind that these are simply guidelines and will differ from market to market.

604-278-3235

For example, in Richmond in March (excluding new construction). there were 1849 active listings and 163 sales That leaves us 11 months of inventory remaining on the market and also tells us that we are in a buyer’s market.

Western Coin & Stamp is the insurance industry Q: Why experiencing a “Hard Market”?

A:

First, let’s identity the characteristics of a “hard market”.

They include: increased premiums, stricter underwriting guidelines, less ability for insurance companies to write business and less competition between insurers.

Increased severity and frequency from natural disasters such as fires, flooding, hurricanes, tropical storms & earthquakes as well as an economic downturn around the world, has caused insurance markets to evaluate what types of risks they wish to insure. This, in turn, influences rates and coverage, causing a “hard market”. With new technology for automobiles, car claims have also risen significantly, as have the Suzanne Lima, escalating number of fraud claims being reported.

Simply put, claims are paid by the premiums charged. When there’s CAIB, CIP an influx in claims and not enough premium is collected to pay these Branch Manager – Garden City claims, rates need to be corrected and often increased.

At Central Agencies Ltd. we are constantly reviewing these changes and working with our large selection of providers to find you the right market and coverage you require. Our office is open 7 days a week to help you navigating the complex insurance world and answer your questions.

If you are in the market looking to buy, calculating the months of inventory can give you an indication of how negotiable sellers might be. On the other hand, if you are a seller trying to sell your property, the months of inventory will give you an indication of the level of competition you will face. Selling in a buyer’s market will require you to put some serious thought into your pricing strategy and any terms you may want to offer.

Like other professional services (legal, dental, medical) the costs depend on the services, merchandise and final disposition method that the family chooses.

Each service planned is as unique as the family that makes the arrangements. The same can be said for cemetery products.

There are many variables and options that the family can chose from. Only when all options are presented, can a cost be determined.

By provincial law, all funeral providers must supply an itemized copy of their price list to the consumer.

Q: Buyer’s market or seller’s market?

A:

This is a complex situation with these coins. Let me first tell you what happened in Great Britain. Mark Carney, who was Governor of the Bank of Canada became the Governor of the Bank of England. England issued coins just like Canada: a 20 for 20, 50 for 50 and 100 for 100.

They were immensely popular and sold out immediately. Then the banks were flooded with these coins being returned to the banks. All the coins had been removed from their packaging and were now loose coins. It turns out that all of these coins were bought by people using credit cards. They received Aeroplan miles or 2% cash back from their cards. The Royal Mint and the Bank of England immediately changed the policy and made these “coins” only souvenirs with no cash value or in other words they were now demonitized.

is payable when an application to register a transfer of an interest in land is presented to the Land Title Office. The tax is based on the value of the interest being transferred and is calculated as follows: 1% of the first $200,000.00, 2% on the remaining balance to $2 Million, and 3% on the amount over $2 Million. Some examples of transactions requiring PTT are: a purchase or transfer of property, an Agreement for Sale, and a Lease. But there are numerous exemptions for PTT, such as: a first time buyer of a principal residence, transfer to a related individual, transfer to a surviving joint tenant, and a transfer to an executor of an estate. For most exemptions, certain requirements must be met.

PTT does not affect the seller. The purchaser (transferee) is responsible for paying the PTT. Regards, Hans Podzun

Hansen challenges businesses efficient building systems.

Maria Rantanen

Hansen was speaking to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday and his challenge to them was to follow the commitment of the National Chamber of Commerce to support accessibility certification.

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Rick Hansen has a call to action for businesses and other organizations in Richmond: set the bar higher and make your businesses accessible to people with disabilities.

One of the most common barriers people with disabilities face is accessibility to buildings, and this is particularly challenging with smaller businesses, Hansen said.

Not only is it a human rights issue, it’s a “tremendous economic opportunity” Hansen told the Richmond News.

Accessibility to employment is another area that needs to be addressed, and Hansen pointed out half a million people across Canada with disabilities could help alleviate the current labour shortage.

One in five Canadians has a disability, Hansen said, and they are not all in wheelchairs.

Rick Hansen addressed the Richmond Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, challenging them to make their businesses accessible. Photo submitted cessible they are and they’re recognized and certified for meeting the minimum standard,” Hansen said.

by the Rick Hansen Foundation with help from a startup grant from the province.

“At the end of the day, the call to action isn’t just for business,” he said. “It’s for everyone, the public, private and social sector to have Richmond be the first city to be completely rated and measured on a universal standard.”

So far, 48 Richmond facilities, ranging from residential to municipal to businesses, have been rated according to these universal standards on accessibility.

“And they’re being actively spotlighted when they’ve gone beyond minimum to a gold level of accessibility.”

Hansen said he’s impressed with the participation of the City of Richmond in the ratings and certification process, developed

“Those ratings are really important because they give visibility to owners, their employees and their customers of how ac-

Richmond youth looking for a job in the city can now apply for more than 200 positions for the summer.

Every year, the Canadian government helps fund thousands of summer jobs across the country. In the past, these jobs were only available to students, however, this year, all youth between the ages of 15 and 30 who can work in Canada are welcome to apply.

“Canada’s young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow—they are leaders today,” said Patty Haj-

“That’s why our government, through Canada Summer Jobs, is focused on ensuring more young Canadians can access the paid, meaningful work experience they need to succeed in our changing economy.”

There is a wide range of positions available in Richmond, from working with non-profits, to schools, to jobs in technology, health care and with religious organizations, as well as other jobs throughout Metro Vancouver.

The store at Broadmoor Shopping Centre, on No. 3 and Williams roads, will open its doors on Thursday, May 16.

When the Richmond News caught up with the franchise’s owner/operator Scott Marshall, on Tuesday, he said their grand opening is at 7 a.m. that day.

“This will be discount done right. Our margins are very low, so that saving is passed onto the customer. Volume (of sales) is the key for us,” said Marshall.

A common myth is that hiring people with disabilities will increase risks for a business, but Hansen said, when compared to people with similar skills, people with disabilities are some of the most competent and dedicated employees and add a lot to the workplace culture.

Gilbert Rd.

With growth in economic areas for people with disabilities like tourism, currently worth $16 billion in Canada, and the myriad of people with disabilities across Canada available to take part in the workforce, Hansen is encouraging businesses to be open to hiring people with disabilities and to get a rating and certification of their premises to assess its accessibility.

The Strikers enjoyed a dominant run for nearly two decades and were among the top AA boys teams in the province. They also produced some outstanding talent including current Canadian Sevens star Nathan Hirayama.

“I had coached at Steveston High and Cambie back in the day. I went away to school and when I came back there was nobody to run the program with Rolly retiring,” recalled Haigh. “It has been a really pleasant experience.

Haigh sees a number of his players well beyond the high school season.

They play on the club team and also participate in the summer rep program. The commitment has resulted

“I always encourage them to play other sports and most of them do. But it is nice to know rugby is at the fore-

“It’s a bit of a cliché but girls want to hit people too. They want to be part of the fun and the team atmosphere.”

U15 Strikers earn cup final home date Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The U15 Richmond Strikers find themselves in familiar territory after digging deep to become the lone team to enjoy home field advantage

for next weekend’s Coastal “A” and B” Cup Championships.

The rep girls soccer team pulled to a dramatic 2-1 win in penalty kicks over the Vancouver Island Riptide on Saturday in Campbell River.

The result gives the Strikers an opportunity to defend

their title when Richmond F.C. and the Richmond Girls Soccer Association co-host the 66th annual B.C. Soccer event.

All three fields at Minoru Park will be utilized for 24 title games over the two days — ranging from U13 to U18.

It was last July when the Strikers were also the lone city involved when Richmond hosted the Provincial “A” Cup Championships and capped a terrific campaign with a bronze medal.

Now they have an opportunity to get back to the showcase event — slated

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Alice, at the age of 88. Born in Montreal, Alice moved as a youngster with her family to a farm just northeast of Toronto in the 1950s where her Ukrainian dad Luke, Austrian mother Anna and brother Bennie, raised fruit and vegetables. Growing up on a farm, she worked hard tending the fields and sold the family produce on a stand by the roadside. Alice married Hal Rogers, in 1956. He arrived off a boat from England in 1947 and they met doing amateur dramatics at the local church. She loved to cook, travel, cross country ski and enjoy family life. A thirst for knowledge led Alice to night school and she became a legal secretary in Toronto to one W Estey. Turns out her young litigator boss went on to be a Supreme Court of Canada justice. Mother to Liz and Tony, she was always there for them during their elementary, high school and university years in Ontario and Quebec; Just as she was there for Hal after he had health challenges after moving to Vancouver and settling in Steveston.

Her own health challenges finally caught up with her early Tuesday morning, April 16th. A dear sweet lady who we will be missed by her family, Liz, Tony, Sali, William and Teri. “Rest easy Mom x”.

If you’ve been by the Canadian Tire in the Ironwood Plaza lately, you may have noticed a flurry of activity going on inside and out. That’s because in January of this year, the team started a massive re-merchandis-

Along with an expanded product line in every department, the new format also includes more areas for displays, new store paint colours and signage, a dedicated online order pick-up area and the relocation of the Canada Post outlet within the store. There have also been major changes with the Auto Service area with an expanded customer service desk and a new waiting area. Customers may also likely notice the change in the interior and exterior lighting of the store with the switch to more environmentally friendly LED lighting.

Owner Terry Sanford, who took over the Steveston Highway location in February 2018, says the remerchandising project was a priority for him. “I felt this was a good time to re-fresh the store for our customers and the team is excited to showcase our new format that includes an expanded product line,” says Sanford. “While I know the past four months have been a little chaotic within the store, I’m grateful for the patience of our customers as we make this exciting transition for their store,” he added. “I don’t think our customers will be disappointed.”
