Time to lighten the load for survivors Eve Edmonds

EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Two hundred and ﬁfteen is an awfully big number, sickeningly big in fact when we think of what it represents: little girls and boys, my kids at that age, your kids, those kids running around the playground — 215 of them dumped like garbage in an unmarked grave. And the dumping is one thing, imagine what those children went through prior to their deaths. (If you’re having trouble with that, try reading the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese.) And how about the agony families of those children went through never knowing what happened to them? It’s chilling to think of the mind set that could have let all that happen — a mind set that resulted in, among other things, last week’s discovery of the remains of 215 children buried on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

It’s been said we can’t judge the actions of past generations through today’s lens. In some cases, that’s true, but when has it ever been okay to allow the abuse, neglect and sometimes ﬂat out murder of children? And when has it ever been okay to not inform parents their child has passed? The fact the school had only recorded 50 deaths shows it knew full well the atrocity it was committing. Murray Sinclair, the chair of the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission from 2009 to 2015 said since the discovery of the mass grave, he’s been inundated with calls from people experiencing pain and sadness, as well as a lot of anger. “I told them about this, and no one believed me!” has been a common refrain. But as painful as this discovery is, Renée Robinson, a Richmond resident whose parents and other family members went through the residential school system, said there’s also a sense of emotional

unloading in finally having the truth recognized. “I’ve been talking about a genocide for about 30 years now,” Robinson said (in our story on page 10.) “It seems finally that Canada has agreed and sees what we’ve been talking about.” “It lightens the load for us,” Robinson added. “There’s a lot of emotional labour talking about it constantly.” But if Robinson is going to set down some of her load, who’s going to pick it up? We’re hearing more about “settler responsibility.” Frankly, I have a hard time thinking of myself as a settler, but I am a descendant, and I’ve certainly reaped the benefits of that inheritance. So what does lightening Robinson’s load look like for me? A first step might be taking a little pair of shoes to the memorial that has been set up outside the Brighouse Library. As part of a vigil held Monday evening

to mark the gruesome discovery in Kamloops, organizers are asking people to bring pairs of shoes — one for every child dumped in that mass grave — to honour them and recognize the footprints they left behind. It’s a symbolic gesture, and while we can’t stop with symbols, they still matter. Speaking of, it hasn’t gone unnoticed that while many of our civic leaders were at the vigil on Monday night (and I don’t doubt their sincerity) city council refuses to make a First Nations land acknowledgment at the start of its council meetings. This has to do with the fact the city is locked in a court battle with a number of First Nations groups over land claims — which in itself gives one pause. When we truly accept our share of the burden that people like Robinson have been carrying alone, it will be uncomfortable. It may mean looking for more haunting remains, or settling for less in a land claim. But it‘s time we “settlers” share the load in dealing with a tragic legacy.

Good on Mark Lee Dear Editor,

Re: “Tokens not enough,” Election, May 20 I commend Mark Lee for “coming out” in the public arena as a gay man running for council. I agree with him entirely with regards to the rainbow sidewalk at the library. While this acknowledges the existence of the LGBT community in Richmond, I believe the money would have been better spent on gay-related programs. As the ﬁrst gay person with AIDS to come out in Richmond many years ago, it pleases me to see another younger person advocating for the LGBT community. Prior to 1969, same-sex sexual activities between consenting adults were considered crimes punishable by imprisonment. This changed in 1969, when Pierre Trudeau declared “we have no business in the bedrooms of the nation” and enacted the ﬁrst gay-rights legislation in Canada. I attended and spoke out at the school board meeting at Hugh Boyd secondary a few years ago, when the SOGI policy, regarding gay bullying, was debated and approved. I was shocked to witness the

overt display of homophobia displayed by several hundred of the attendees, with the police finally being called. The unruly behaviour of this mob confirmed the need for a SOGI policy. I would remind readers gay kids constitute only five per cent of the school population, but account for 30 per cent of suicides for children under 18. I was raised during the 1950s when gay rights were non-existent, and do not want to see a return to that period of society. I finally came out to my parents when I was in my twenties.

My mother said she knew all along. I asked “what were the first words I spoke as a child? was it ‘mommy’ or ‘daddy?’ She said “no, your first words were ‘can my boyfriend spend the night?’” My father said, “If I knew you were gay, I would have put you in the army.” I told him, “Us gay people don’t like the army because you have to get up early and you have to wear the same outfit every day.”

John Cameron

Most of all, thank you to voters for entrusting me to serve on council in Richmond. I am humbled and honoured that you placed your conﬁdence with me. I’m dedicated to working hard for all of Richmond.

THANK YOU

to the long-time community leaders who supported my run.

I think it’s time for the staff at Richmond City Hall to double the number of washrooms available to men and women along the dikes.

And the best part? Richmond could do this in one day. It’s 2021, so how about removing the man/woman picture on the bathroom doors, and just letting anyone use them? They are practically identical inside. I can understand separate bathrooms where there are multiple stalls, but a single occupant bathroom, where you lock the door when you are inside? Is anyone else frustrated they can only use half of the public washrooms on the dike?

Dear Editor, I was aghast on finding out about taxes this year, up more than seven per cent. Unlike earlier years, the attached pamphlet didn’t mention tax increases at all. They must have been ashamed of their own doing. The only explanation, “Your taxes at work:” 16 new RCMP officers and 12 firefighters. Increased police force one can swallow with difficulty given the added demands on law enforcement; but more firefighters, what is the rationale? Don’t count on me voting for any of the incumbents at the next election.

Harjinder S. Gill RICHMOND

*Editor’s note: The overall tax increase in Richmond was 5.68 per cent, but each tax bill depends on the property’s assessment.

Leave wider spots for those who need them Dear Editor,

to leave empty grocery carts in, creating another barrier. Signage is not maintained ...more erosion of access.

In the mid-1970s “handicapped” accessible parking spaces began to appear in the Lower Mainland to accommodate people who used wheelchairs and drove their own cars. As such, wider spaces were introduced in the BC Building Code and a decal, later a placard, was developed to identify a “qualified disabled driver.” However, because these spaces were usually the closest to the door of a store or a mall, others with various conditions (a heart condition or amputated lower limb, for example) began advocating for their group to also be allowed to use them. As such, criteria expanded and legitimate deal holders grew, but people using wheelchairs found it more and more difficult to find an empty accessible parking space. In recent years, the design of vehicles has changed as have the design of wheelchairs, including motorized wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Many individuals who use a wheelchair now drive a van with a side-loading ramp. Once again we’ve had to advocate for

Many municipalities have imposed ﬁnes for those abusing these spaces and some private developments have vehicles towed if they don’t have a valid placard. It’s a well-known fact these placards are coveted, so much so counterfeit ones have been found displayed in vehicles. Curb cuts in the wrong place (left) or spaces that don’t leave enough room for side ramps (right) can impede accessibility. Photos submitted changes to accessible parking space design because the existing spaces could not accommodate vans with side ramps.

wheelchair let down (see left photo). Once a vehicle parks there, it makes the curb cut unusable for someone in a wheelchair.

Now, more municipalities are introducing enhanced accessible parking bylaws that include “van accessible” spaces, specially marked with added wording to show they are wider for vans with side ramps (or lifts).

People who must use a wheelchair often feel frustrated when they see someone with a legitimate placard pull into an accessible space and “walk” into the mall when there was an empty regular parking space right beside or close to the accessible one.

The placement of these spaces can also be a barrier if parking lines are improperly marked, such as placing an accessible space directly in front of a curb cut or

Having a placard doesn’t mean you have to park in an accessible space. These spaces are also sometimes used

The City of Richmond has recently enhanced its accessible parking bylaw to better reﬂect today’s needs for people with more severe disabilities. This includes “van accessible” spaces to accommodate side ramps and a more detailed description of what an accessible space must include. This is National AccessAbility Week — May 30 to June 5 — and we ask citizens and residents keep in mind who these spaces are meant for, and respect that intent. If you can, please leave the wider space for someone who truly needs it.

Andy Hobbs wins tight 3-way race three councillors, Linda McPhail, Bill McNulty and Alexa Loo.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Retired Vancouver police superintendent Andy Hobbs won the Richmond byelection in what turned out to be a close, three-way race. Hobbs received 3,095 votes, and in second place was Jonathan Ho with 2,785 votes. Just 18 votes behind Ho was Karina Reid with 2,767 votes. As results came in, Hobbs and Ho took turns leading in the polls with Karina Reid in second place at some points. Hobbs, who will sit on city council until the next general election in October 2022, said he’s “humbled and very excited at the same time” to be elected to Richmond city council.

Driver parked on sidewalk to use ATM

Gang couple had loaded gun Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A man and woman connected to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang war have been arrested in Richmond after being found in possession of a loaded handgun. The pair was spotted coming out of a “local establishment” in Richmond last Friday, May 21 by the regional police gang enforcement team.

This driver thought she could drive up the Canada Line station sidewalk to use the ATM. Transit Police thought differently. A woman who drove her car into a pedestrian-only area at Richmond Canada Line station so she could use an ATM has received hundreds of dollars in ﬁnes, and four points on her licence. A recent post from the Richmond Learns to Park and Drive Facebook group captured her driving her white Audi SUV onto the sidewalk and parking right in front of the Richmond-Brighouse Canada Line Station. Transit Police ofﬁcers saw the woman drive her SUV past the “do not enter” signs and onto the sidewalk. —Nono Shen/Richmond News

Search for missing woman Police are asking the public for help in tracking down a missing 32-yearold Richmond woman. Sierra Dawn Watson was last seen on Thursday, May 20 leaving her exboyfriend’s home on Desmond Road, near No. 1 and Williams roads.

Sierra Dawn Watson

New Westminster police ofﬁcers were in the Hamilton neighbourhood with guns drawn after they identiﬁed a suspect related to a weapon offence which took place in the Queensborough area.

Guns drawn during police arrest in Hamilton A suspect was arrested in Hamilton after a reported “weapons offense” in New Westminster early Tuesday. New Westminster Police officers responded to a call shortly after 7 a.m. that an altercation occurred outside a home on the 300-block of Pembina Street where a firearm was taken out in public. However, the suspect had already left the scene when officers arrived, said Sgt. Sanjay Kumar, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police. A victim had minor injuries and did not require hospitalization or treatment from onsite paramedics. Officers were led to the suspect’s home in East Richmond where the arrest was made.

She is Caucasian, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 120 pounds, slim build with long brown hair and green eyes with glasses. Anyone with information is asked to call their local police quoting ﬁle number 2021-13883.

People in the Hamilton townhouse complex photographed several police officers holding firearms that looked like rifles and one officer in full combat gear. —Valerie Leung/Richmond News

Officers from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC) were on “proactive enforcement patrols” in the Richmond area at the time, when they noticed the man and woman leaving the premises. According to the CFSEU-BC, the officers “quickly recognized the male as being an individual involved in the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.” Both of them were arrested for firearms related offences and later released pending further investigation. The firearm was seized and has been sent to the new Provincial Forensics Firearms Lab, managed by CFSEU-BC, for processing. “CFSEU will continue to work closely with all of our partner agencies to target those involved in organized crime and gangs that pose the greatest risk to public safety through uniform presence and overt enforcement tactics,” said Supt. Bill Spearn, operations support officer for CFSEU-BC. “We are very pleased that another dangerous firearm has been taken off the streets.“ Richmond’s top police officer, Chief Supt. Will Ng, said the arrest “reflects the reality that gangsters and gang activity have no boundaries. “It also shows how the collaboration between CFSEU and local agencies, like Richmond RCMP, is effectively identifying gangsters and their associates, disrupting their activities, and getting guns off the street.”

Vigil honours 215 young souls Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

An hour-long vigil at the Richmond Library and Cultural Centre Monday evening honoured the memory of 215 Indigenous children on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School whose remains were revealed to the public last week. Renée Robinson, a Richmond resident whose parents and other family members went through the residential school system, said the mass grave at the residential school has made Canadians finally listen. “I’ve been talking about a genocide for about 30 years now,” Robinson said. “It seems finally that Canada has agreed and sees what we’ve been talking about.” Robinson said the vigil and messages on social media show people are starting to understand how Indigenous people were treated through the residential school system and other forms of racism. “It lightens the load for us,” Robinson said. “There’s a lot of emotional labour talking about it constantly.” Robinson belongs to the Tsartlip First Nation — located just outside Saanich — but she grew up in Merritt and the Shuswap. Her parents attended St. Eugene’s residential school in Cranbrook. Robinson recounted how her father was pushed down the stairs as a teen at the residential school and broke his leg and hip but didn’t receive any medical attention until he collapsed two weeks later. When a doctor was finally called, her father was septic and was taken to the hospital where the bones had to be rebroken and reset as they had started healing. Despite two dozen surgeries, he was in pain all his life and became addicted to

opiates prescribed for pain control.

“This is a huge atrocity for all Indigenous people — it’s so triggering and a painful reminder of the colonial country we live in,” Reid said. “My settler responsibility is to make sure we do everything we can to decolonize every day,” she added.

their families and forced to attend residential schools, run by churches, from the late 1800s to the 1970s. Many suffered physical, mental and sexual abuse and were banned from speaking their native languages.

Richmond South Centre MLA Henry Yao, who also attended the vigil, said it would be “overly arrogant” of the provincial government to say they know how to help residential school survivors and their families; rather, the government can allow Indigenous people to “enlighten us how we can support them.” “The most important thing… is to start reaching out and asking them. Because they are the people who walked through the pain, walked through the suffering — they know their own emotional wounds.” Yao said the recent anti-Asian racist incidents are “almost nothing” compared to the stories from residential schools. “The darkness of racism, how deep, how much pain (it) can bring to a family, a community, a culture — it’s incredibly destructive,” Yao said. Both the City of Richmond and the Richmond School District have lowered their ﬂags to half-mast. Sandra Nixon, chair of the board of education, said teaching all students about the history of colonialism and the legacy of residential schools is a priority for the school district. “Real change moving forward really starts with attitudes and the education of this generation,” she said. The shoes will be at the library until next Tuesday — for 215 hours — at which time there will be another vigil for the Indigenous children at 7 p.m. Search Indigenous children for full story at Richmond-News.com

Brazen bike theft E-scooters raise safety concerns caught on camera Nono Shen

on the sidewalk, they need to walk the bike instead of riding on it.”

A family is warning Richmond residents to keep their personal belongings properly locked away, after a brazen daytime theft while they were at home.

CCTV from the home in the Seafair neighbourhood shows the thief casually walking into the family’s open garage at around 5:45 p.m. last holiday Monday. He then reappears a few seconds later with a $2,000 bike that belonged to homeowner Pam Sidhu’s son. After reporting the theft to the RCMP and then to her insurance company, she was told by the insurers that there had been a spate of similar incidents in the area recently. “My husband was working in the front yard and came in for a minute while the garage door was open,” explained Sidhu.

The Fantuan spokesperson said they also encourage the public to report any such cases to them at feedback@fantuan.ca.

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The pandemic may have given a boost to the food delivery industry — but that increase in orders has also brought a whole new level of chaos to local sidewalks, according to some Richmond residents. Derek Ng, a Richmondite who lives at No. 3 and Saba roads, said it’s only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt with the number of electric scooters from delivery companies darting among pedestrians on the sidewalks.

“This young guy just walked into our garage (and) casually and took my son’s $2,000 bike.”

“It’s upsetting to see this happening,” said Ng, adding that the scooters are heavy and could inﬂict some damage if they hit a person — and the drivers are going fast.

The RCMP told the Richmond News that there hasn’t been any marked increase in similar type thefts in that area of the city.

“I told them, you shouldn’t ride on the sidewalks, and they would just not talk to me at all.”

2 outbreaks despite fewer infections

Despite Richmond’s declining infection rates, the city is currently battling two COVID-19 outbreaks — one at Richmond Hospital and the other, at a long-term care home. One person has died as a result of the outbreak at Richmond Hospital, which, as of Monday, had infected 11 patients, according to Vancouver Coastal Health. The outbreak was declared in the 4 North Acute Care for the Elderly Unit on May 21, after seven patients tested positive for COVID-19. It’s not known if any of the people who tested positive had been vaccinated. “(VCH) does not provide information on the vaccination of staff member or patient cases associated with an outbreak,” the health authority said. An outbreak has also been declared at Richmond Lions Manor-Bridgeport after two staff and two patients tested positive. The outbreak is on the third ﬂoor of the long-term care home, VCH said in a statement on Saturday afternoon.

SECURITY PLUS FLEXIBILITY

All group activities have been suspended at the care home, according to VCH. Both the care home and elderly care unit at the hospital are currently closed to new admissions or transfers. Visits to the third ﬂoor of Lions ManorBridgeport, and Richmond Hospital’s elderly care unit have been suspended until outbreak measures are lifted, except for essential care or compassionate visits at the end of life. Virus will stick around COVID-19 cases may have gone down “dramatically,” but the virus is here likely here to stay, according to Richmond’s medical health ofﬁcer. “It’s a virus that survives...We just need to be prepared that probably by the end of the fall, we may see more illness from this virus, and not be surprised when that happens,” Dr. Meena Dawar told the Richmond COVID-19 Community Task Force on Tuesday. However, it’s hoped any illness at that

time will be mild as people will have been vaccinated and there will be “a high level of herd immunity.” Dawar said that by fall, the virus will hopefully have changed from “a novel emerging serious virus” to one that causes illness in the same way inﬂuenza does — which comes around each year and is something people are able to be immunized against and carry on with their lives. “I’m hopeful when we see this (COVID-19) virus again — and we will see illness from it on a regular basis for some time — that we’ll be able to live, work and play without the types of restrictions that we’ve had for the last 14, 15 months.” Vaccination coverage Over half (63 per cent) of all adults over the age of 18 in Richmond have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of May 31, according to the BC Centre for Disease Control’s COVID-19 surveillance dashboard. This places the city on par with other Lower Mainland regions, which report be-

tween 61 to 80 per cent of adults over 18 have received at least one dose. In Richmond, 60 per cent of children and teens 12 and up have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Cases decline Richmond’s COVID-19 cases continue to decline. There were 49 cases detected in Richmond between May 16 and 22, according to the BC Centre for Disease Control (data is updated Wednesday evenings, after the News’ print deadline). This is down from 108 cases reported the week prior, May 9 to 15. School exposures More Richmond schools have been ﬂagged for COVID-19 exposures, according to VCH. There was an exposure at Walter Lee elementary from May 27 to 28, at Cambie secondary from May 19 to 20 and at Anderson elementary from May 18 to 20. —Richmond News staff

Woman calls vaccine workers ‘murderers’ Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond woman appears to be making a habit of posting videos of herself berating workers for either enforcing the mask mandate or providing vaccines. Her most recent video posted to Facebook on Thursday shows her calling onsite workers and volunteers at two vaccination clinics in Richmond “murderers.” In one of the videos, Valerie Ann Foley is seen approaching volunteers and workers at a clinic set up in Cambie secondary and telling them they are “committing murder” for allowing kids and people to get the vaccine. She also comments on the “death count” the vaccines have caused. In fact, there are no conﬁrmed deaths in Canada resulting from the Pﬁzer or Moderna vaccine, according to Health Canada. There are four deaths from a rare blood clot following the AstraZeneca vaccine. In another video, also posted by Foley, she approaches workers at the KPU vaccine location again calling them “mur-

derers.” After being told to leave, she yells, “This is absolutely disgusting…You will all be liable for killing innocent children.” Last month, Foley posted a video of herself verbally abusing a worker at Bosley’s in Terra Nova shopping plaza when the worker insisted she wear a mask while in the store.

In that incident, Foley was fined $460. She has also been fined by a Richmond Mountie for using Facebook Live while driving. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have both been approved for use and deemed safe by Health Canada since December 2020. The AstraZeneca vaccine was approved in February 2021. The Canadian health agency also expanded the use of the Pfizer vaccine to include teens ages 12 to 15 as of May 2021. —With files from Alan Campbell

Trustees cut and dip to cover shortfall Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The Richmond Board of Education voted 6-1 to pass its 2021/22 budget, albeit with a dip into reserves and some cuts to stafﬁng. While the board voted to draw a substantial amount from its reserve fund to cover revenue decreases — because of less rental revenue and investment income — Trustee Richard Lee said he’d prefer taking another 0.8 per cent from reserves to supplement the budget. He cited this as his reason for voting against the entire budget. The school district’s budget for 2021/22 is almost $280 million. Because of a $7.2 million projected shortfall, staff will be reduced by almost

35 full-time positions to save about $3.1 million.

groups in a “balanced and proportionate manner.”

This includes nine CUPE support workers, 17 teachers, two elementary viceprincipals and a district administrator as well as the director of facilities operations.

Furthermore, the school district will draw $3.6 million from its reserves, bringing the accumulated surplus down to $6.2 million, and reduce some one-time operations.

The majority of the cut positions, however, won’t result in any layoffs.

The school district, however, will spend $675,000 for daytime custodians from September to February to continue pandemic-related cleaning.

Some positions being cut are currently vacant or won’t be filled after retirements; and some staff whose positions are being eliminated will be reallocated to other positions. Secretary-treasurer Roy Uyeno said the budget adjustments reflect a “balanced approach that attempts to minimize the impact to our students.” However, he added, there isn’t much flexibility when 90 per cent of the budget is staffing costs. He added the cuts are to all employee

Trustee Heather Larson said, as a ﬁrstterm trustee, she is now seeing the budget process differently after having worked “on the other side” for 19 years as an educational assistant and homestay coordinator for the school district. “It’s difﬁcult being on the other side seeing the whole district,” Larson said. She said the information staff brought forward and the answers to trustee ques-

tions gave her conﬁdence in the process.

“I have complete faith, as difﬁcult as this is, in what (school district staff) have put forward for us to vote on is the best we can do for our district as a whole right now,” Larson said. Policy guides reserve fund The school district’s reserve policy states it should retain between two and four per cent of its overall annual budget in reserves. Cutting another 0.8 per cent, as suggested by Lee, would have brought the reserves down to two per cent. However, board chair Sandra Nixon told the Richmond News, because a shortfall is expected the following year as well, dipping further into the reserves this year could cause it to be too low — below what’s recommended by their own policy.

‘High risk’ wing repurposed Valedictorian’s Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Instead of demolishing a “high risk” wing of Mitchell Elementary, built in 1960, the Richmond School District will put $250,000 into repurposing it, for a total project budget of $1.3 million, which will include renovations at Rideau Park Centre. Mitchell elementary is currently undergoing seismic upgrading — provincially funded to the tune of $11.4 million — and the original plan was to demolish the wing once this work was completed. The 1960-built block of the school has been assessed as having a high risk of damage and liquefaction in the event of an earthquake. (Liquefaction means soil loses its strength and stiffness when shaken, for example, in an earthquake.)

However, the school district claims adults can evacuate buildings faster and the occupancy will be lower, so there is less risk for them in the event of an earthquake. Board chair Sandra Nixon told the Richmond News they were assured it would be safe for adults.

There will be some superstructure upgrades done to the wing at Mitchell elementary, according to the school district. The new “Mitchell Education Centre” will house adult education programs, currently run out of former Rideau elementary. It will run separately from the kindergarten-to-Grade-7 school. The board of education approved the project last week, and it’s expected to be done by Christmas using capital reserves. Search high risk for full story at Richmond-News.com

Hi Mark, It’s totally possible. More and more people are starting to take advantage of outdoor living in our beautiful climate. Cooking outside with no hassles and then having a fire to keep you cozy as the evening gets cooler is a great idea. You will need to install a Gas Line to your outdoor area. Then you would install a BBQ Box with a Quick Connect which is basically the same as an electrical outlet. It’s plug and play. Just make sure that any time you are dealing with natural gas that you have a certified Gas Fitter do the work. Give us a call and we could send someone to give you an estimate.

Tissue conditioners (temporary soft lining material) are placed on the tissue fitting surface of your dentures to provide a clean positive adaptation to your gum tissues.Healing begins and your tissues are reassessed in a week to confirm the progress of healing.

I am 45 years old and have diabetes. My doctor told me about my increased risk for heart disease and started me on statin therapy. What does a statin actually do?

People with diabetes have an increased risk for heart disease. The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease which occurs when there is a reduction in blood flow to the heart caused by buildup of cholesterol-containing plaques in the arteries. Interruption of blood flow to the heart and brain can lead to heart attack and stroke respectively. Statins are a class of medications primarily used to lower cholesterol, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL) which is also known as “bad” cholesterol. Recent clinical studies had shown that certain statins in particular atorvastatin and rosuvastatin may reverse and stabilize plaque buildup. For this reason, statins are prescribed as risk-reducing medications to reduce your chance of developing heart attack and stroke. Based on the 2020 Diabetes Canada’s clinical practice guideline, it is suggested to prescribe statin as a cardiovascular protective agent to people with diabetes with any of the following: a) clinically diagnosed with cardiovascular disease; b) over the age of 40; or c) under the age of 40 and have diabetes for over 15 years or with microvascular complications. Drug therapy and targets should always be individualized based on your doctor’s clinical assessment. In addition to medication therapy, lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, physical activity, weight management, smoking cessation and stress management are equally important in reducing cardiovascular event in people with diabetes.

someone may sell property without consulting the owner, i.e., possibly where the POA is exercised during any subsequent mental infirmity on part of the donor (grantor of POA) and in a broad scope, having been given the authority to do so. But conditions and restrictions can be placed in a POA, limiting its use to whatever purpose or function that may be required. If the donor has granted a POA without conditions or restrictions but suspects misuse, such as the attorney trying to effect sale of real estate property when they shouldn’t be, the donor can either request return of the POA from the attorney, or revoke the POA, and file the revocation with the Land Title Office, preventing the use of the POA to sell the donor’s property.

I read that gold is up almost $200 in the Q: last month. Is this close to a new high?

We continue to help families through challenging times

In the last two months (April 1 - June 1), gold has gone from $1686 US to 1915 US. This is almost $230 US increase. However in that same time period gold only rose $130 Canadian due to the rise in the Canadian dollar. This is similar to 2011 when gold hit its high of $1925 US which translated to $1875 Canadian due to our dollar being worth more than the US. The new high in gold was last August when gold reached $2063 US which was almost $2700 CDN. Many analysts think gold is still going to increase but many of the same analysts believe that the Canadian dollar is also going to Jim Richardson increase. Western Coin & Silver has had a much bigger increase in the last year with prices Stamp last June at $18.00 US compared to $28.00 US today. Silver still is not reached its high from 1980 at $50.00 CDN or 2011 high of $48.00 CDN. Many people who bough silver in both 1980 and 2011 have been bringing silver in to sell us while the price is strong. 6960 No 3 Rd, Others are buying figuring prices are going to rise due to increased Richmond, B.C. demand for high tech industry.

Richmond-born ﬁlmmaker behind new Heritage Minute Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The irony of ﬁlming a Heritage Minute about the lifesaving discovery of insulin, during a global pandemic, wasn’t lost on Mark Ratzlaff. “It was something we were feeling in our lives, and just being 100 years apart, waiting...in our case for the vaccine and (in the early 1920s), the life-saving treatment of insulin,” he said. “Back then, with diabetes, there was a certain point where, once you went into the hospital, families didn’t count on their loved ones coming home… (Because of COVID-19), you become hyper-aware of just how paralyzing a medical issue like this can be.” Ratzlaff — who was born and raised in Richmond — wrote and produced the oneminute video, the Discovery of Insulin, with his wife Nimisha Mukerji, through their company Shotglass Productions in partnership with Historica Canada. The short — released on March 17 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery — is the latest Heritage Minute in

Historica Canada’s ongoing series, which showcases some of the country’s greatest achievements and the people behind them.

The script was written by the end of 2020, but the rest of the production, including casting, and sorting out historically accurate costumes and props (both also vetted by the experts), was pulled together on a tight schedule — about ﬁve to six weeks — as it was uncertain whether ﬁlming would still happen with COVID-19.

Unlike other Heritage Minutes, which Ratzlaff said often focus on a single perspective, he was faced with the challenge of weaving together the perspectives of both the scientists behind the research and ordinary people impacted by the disease.

The Heritage Minute was ﬁlmed in February at Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, rather than Toronto due to COVID-19, said Ratzlaff.

“It really was like an ensemble piece — there were quite a few key players involved in it,” said Ratzlaff. “So really, if you took one of them out of it, it wouldn’t have worked.” The short begins in late 1921 when 13-year-old Leonard Thompson is admitted to Toronto General Hospital for his Type 1 diabetes. As his health deteriorates, the Heritage Minute follows four scientists at the University of Toronto — Frederick Banting, Charles Best, J.J.R Macleod and James Collip — racing to develop the lifesaving treatment of insulin. Thompson was the ﬁrst patient to receive successful injections, and within 24 hours his Type 1 diabetes symptoms had all but vanished. “For us we knew that seeing the patient side of the story was important to under-

stand, what this liquid in the lab had the potential to do,” said Ratzlaff. Historica Canada sent “huge packages of material and references” on the discovery, to help Ratzlaff and Mukerji write a factual script, which was also reviewed by a group of experts on the subject.

The English narration at the end of the Heritage Minute was provided by Canadian actor Victor Garber, and the French end narration by athlete and motivational speaker Sébastien Sasseville, both of whom have been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The Discovery of Insulin is the 97th Heritage Minute in Historica Canada’s series, which has been ongoing since 1991. “I think there’s maybe a sort of national discomfort with celebrating our achievements,” Ratzlaff said. “But I think it’s important to just take that minute and actually recognize some of the huge contributions we’ve made to our own communities and in this case (of insulin), to the world.”

Collecting pandemic Sensory-friendly camps stories of connection take stage at Gateway Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The manner in which we communicate with each other has transformed during the pandemic. And that’s exactly what an award-winning, Richmond-based theatre company wants to hear from local residents until June 13, as it begins creating its latest production. Direct Theatre Collective (DTC) has just opened an interview portal for residents of all ages, genders, races, cultures and heritage to submit their experiences of “community and connection” over the last year or so. DTC will then use some of the stories and ideas as inspiration as it “explores connection and hope during this strange time.” “When the pandemic started, the talk was all about how communication was now all online and also on isolation and mental health,” DTC co-founder Jill Raymond told the Richmond News.

“But, there’s been so much negativity, so no one is going to want to watch a show about being isolated.

“Instead, we decided to ﬂip it and, in these interviews, what essentially we’re looking for is ﬁnding those true moments of community and connection. “And also maybe about (the opportunities we’ve found) that might not have existed without a pandemic. I’ve heard so many jokes about a slew of pandemic musicals coming, so we might not even mention the pandemic (in the show).” Raymond said all the “interviews” will be in written form, so people don’t need to worry about being on camera or even having to talk on the phone, with options to remain anonymous. “I’m the sole writer on this, so I want that collaborative community, shared experience thing,” added Raymond, noting that the show might make the Vancouver Fringe in September, if it goes ahead. Part of the funding DTC received for the show was from the City of Richmond’s arts grant, so the request for submissions from the local community was part of the company’s proposal to engage residents.

Richmond’s Gateway Theatre has been offering kids virtual theatre classes throughout the pandemic. But, for the ﬁrst time, the theatre is offering virtual sensory-friendly acting camps for neurodiverse youth. Ruth McIntosh, education manager at Gateway Theatre, said she has been wanting to offer sensory-friendly camps for awhile. “We want to include youth on the autism and neurodiverse spectrum in our camps because, like other kids, they need that sense of connection and creative opportunities especially during this time,” said McIntosh. She added Gateway is offering the sensory-friendly camps online for those who do better in a controlled environment such as their home. “We want to focus on working as an ensemble, and while it may be difﬁcult to do so online, it is still one of the basic

aspects of our pedagogy on teaching everyone how to work, communicate and ﬁlm together as a group.” Youth ages nine to 12 and 13 to 16 in the sensory camps will learn physical and vocal warm-ups and explore stories and characters with other kids.

McIntosh added a “sense of play” is important when supporting youth and their mental health and allowing creativity to grow during their development stage. “Having heard from a youth saying ‘I feel like I belong’ during a past summer camp made her realize that for them being in the right creative and safe space, kids can freely express themselves and learn to adapt to work not only on their own but with other people and building their social skills,” she said. “Youth are struggling just as much as anyone else and it’s important for them to stay connected with others and have an outlet to be creative.” For more information on Gateway’s summer camps, visit http://www.gatewaytheatre.com/summer-theatre-camps

Richmond high school students raided the provincial Game of Apps (GoA) championships recently. Team DogeCode from Richmond Secondary (Arthur Guo, Chloe Shen, Hana Domingo, Harry Peng, Jimmy Wang and William Kang) was provincial champions. While Team Hello World from McMath Secondary (Jason Liang, Kaitlyn Gee, Oscar Yang, Sarah Ly, Sophie Price) placed

second in the province. In the Division 2 competition, the Best Developed App award went to Team Bean Sprouts, of Steveston-London Secondary (Andrew Han, Arthur Jin, Irene Xie and Madeline Li). And the People’s Choice Award went to

Team Carry, of Burnett Secondary (Eric Hou, Jared Barbosa, Megan Wu, Melanie Cheung and Michelle Xu). There were also individual awards (as selected by the GoA mentors): Outstanding leader: Megan Wu (Burnett); Outstanding designer: Sophie Price (McMath) and Outstanding developer: William Kang (Richmond). The B.C. title for the Richmond Secondary team was all the more sweet after it narrowly lost the provincial title last year to New Westminster Secondary.

Hot meal program for homeless reaches grim milestone “We’ve went from serving 30 people a night to 35 in the last year or so. Sometimes our outreach worker ﬁnds more than that.

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“These are just the street entrenched homeless; the people living under a bridge or in a bush, wherever he can ﬁnd them.

A group of anti-poverty advocates in Richmond has just passed an incredible — and thought-provoking — milestone.

“If he runs out of meals, he has cards for McDonald’s or wherever that he can hand out.”

For the last six years, the Richmond Food Aid Delivery (FAD) Coalition has been preparing and delivering hot meals to the city’s “entrenched” homeless population.

Whalen said Freiberg would be out there seven nights a week if FAD let him, adding that he needs his rest as well.

And just recently, FAD delivered its 50,000th meal to someone living in a bush or under a bridge in Richmond. The coalition is made up of volunteers from several local faith organizations, including St. Alban’s, Gilmore Park United and Church on Five, each of whom provide hundreds of community meals throughout the week. It’s those meals — along with generous donations from the Richmond Food Bank and from restaurant Pepper Lunch — that are delivered ﬁve days a week by outreach worker Hugh Freiberg who, in turn, is funded by the local Salvation Army.

Richmond’s FAD team, which has just delivered its 50,000th hot meal to the city’s entrenched homeless. The fact that FAD has reached such a number is less of a cause for celebration, according to its co-chair De Whalen, and is more of a realization that the need is still there and is growing all the time. “COVID has only made it worse and the lack of affordable housing, as well,” Whalen told the Richmond News.

“Pepper Lunch has also been amazing; they came to the shelter one night and asked if we needed food,” added Whalen. “Now they donate food Mondays and Fridays. They’re so generous.” Whalen said federal COVID funding for the homeless, to the tune of $50,000 to $60,000 over the last year has been vital in the program being able to keep up with demand. Whalen said anyone wanting to help and/or donate to the program can email Info@RichmondPRC.org.

Resident publishes book on toy train industry Valerie Leung

until about the 1970s and is part of the Canadian heritage,” said Schmidt, adding he began collecting them in the late 1990s.

There were doubts if a Richmond resident and his co-author would ever publish their book on the Canadian toy train industry.

“These trains, which represent our Canadian railways, are now over 100 years old and they’re hard to ﬁnd nowadays because many of them have rusted, were used in war metal drives or discarded.”

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

However, COVID-19 ﬁnally made it happen after 11 years. Frank Schmidt, a retired Richmond resident and avid toy train collector, and his friend Charles Reif, co-author and fellow collector, ﬁnally published their book “Canadian Prewar Toy Trains, The Marketplace 1912 – 1939” after more than a decade of writing, editing and procrastination.

Frank Schmidt has more than 400 toy trains in his collection at home. He and fellow collector Charles Reif have published a book about the industry.

nothing to do except ﬁnish off the book.

“There’s always the big question ‘why hasn’t someone written a book about this?’ that comes up and when (Reif) and I thought about it, we thought why shouldn’t we be the ones writing the book if no one else did,” said Schmidt, adding that he and Reif met at the Canadian Toy Train Association — a B.C.-based toy train club.

“COVID-19 had its ups and downs and it was deﬁnitely a time to truly focus on publishing the book,” he said, adding it felt amazing to be holding the physical copy of the book in the end.

Schmidt said he has more than 400 toy trains in his home, but the most he has had at one time was about 500 before he sold some to other collectors. “My wife would be the ﬁrst person to tell you my toy train room is the largest room in the house, although I beg to differ. I think the kitchen is still the largest room in the house,” Smchidt said. “The book is not technical and for anyone who is interested in the toy train retail scene 100 years ago, this would be an interesting book to read for them.” Schmidt and Reif’s hardcover and softcover book can be found online at Blurb. ca/b/10692740-canadian-prewar-toytrains.

Skating star, 16, lands ﬁrst big jump, men’s title

PUZZLE ANSWER IN CLASSIFIEDS

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Wesley Chiu in action during his recent win.

Ask the average person in the street if they know what a “quadruple toe loop” is and you’d likely solicit a blank expression. Ask the same question near a skating rink, however, and you will get a whole different reaction. Richmond’s 16-year-old figure skating star Wesley Chiu now knows for the first time what it feels like to execute and land such an incredible jump, having pulled it off recently en route to landing another first — a senior men’s win held by the BC/YK Skate Canada Section. Not only that, Wesley, out of the Richmond-based Connaught Skating Club, chalked up a score of 149.09 from his near four-minute program, beating his personal best by 27 points. “I knew after that the program would go well; after landing a huge jump it was a bit of an adrenalin rush,” said Wesley of the moment he landed the jump perfectly, just 30 seconds into his routine. “But I also knew I had the rest of the program to perform so I tried to stay calm. “That was a new jump for me, (it was my) first time trying it in competition; I only learned it earlier this year. “A lot of junior skaters at my level have quadruple jumps, so I needed to get this one. It gets me closer to the podium at in-

ternational level.” Wesley now has sights set ﬁrmly on climbing the rankings as high as possible in Canada — something his Connaught coach, Keegan Murphy, believes the 16-year-old has in his locker. “He’s on a nice track to compete on the world level one day,” Murphy told the Richmond News. “The key is keep him healthy, manage the body, be mindful of not overtraining him. For a 16-year-old, this (jump) is amazing, it’s a huge achievement. “It hopefully gives Wesley a lot of conﬁdence and a glimpse at what he can do in the years ahead.” Up next for the Connaught team is the junior grand prix in September and October: a series of six international competitions. “Fingers crossed we will be able to have them (in front of a live audience and judges) and (we’re) hoping Wesley will get the chance to represent Canada in these competitions,” added Murphy.

Richmond rower heading to UBC Thunderbirds Alan Campbell

A Richmond rower has been accepted into UBC and onto the university’s rowing team. Rohin Kanwal will be rowing for the Thunderbirds next season, having graduated from the International Baccalaureate (IB) French Immersion program at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary in Vancouver. Rohin has been rowing with the Thunder Rowing Crew, based out of the UBC Boathouse on the Fraser River’s middle arm, for almost ﬁve years.

The Richmond crew’s Elizabeth Liu and Hunter Sowle have also been accepted into UBC’s rowing program. “The program is pretty excited; one of our key goals is to develop local athletes toward high performance opportunities at the next level, working with UBC,” Vince Amodeo, Thunder Crew’s head coach, told the Richmond News. Rohin, said Amodeo, has been rowing with the Thunder since the fall of 2016 and was the men’s captain in both the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons. “He has been one of the most consistent athletes in the program over the past three and a half years,” added Amodeo.

If you are a fan of Once Upon a Time, an American TV series that aired for seven seasons on ABC from 2011 to 2018, you will recognize several places in Steveston, including the Cannery Cafe. In the show, the cafe is known as Granny’s Diner, a popular spot where a number of the main characters came to eat and socialize. It was run by Granny along with her granddaughter, Ruby. The restaurant owner told the Richmond News they feel sad letting the business go after working there for three years and building strong community connections.

“It’s a tough decision because we appreciate the support and love from our customers, but I think now it’s the time to say goodbye,” she told the News. The cafe is still operating.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

CHARTRAND, Bernadette Belanger December 2, 1933 - May 25, 2021 With much sadness, we announce the passing of our dear wife and mother, Bernie. She succumbed, painlessly, to heart and respiratory failure in her sleep at age 87.

Bernie was born in Valleyfield, Quebec, married her husband Phillip in 1956, and they lived and worked in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Tucson Arizona and Lynchburg Virginia. Throughout raising her and Phillip’s only child, Mark, she worked in the fields of insurance, tax and bookkeeping. She and Phillip returned to Quebec in 1975 and eventually settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, near to Mark. She was the youngest and last survivor among her siblings Raymond, Rita, Frances and Monique. She is survived by Phillip and Mark. Bernadette was a compassionate person who always put the needs of others before her own. Deeply Catholic, she gave freely of her abundance of warmth and talents to everyone she came across in a meaningful way.

COLETSIS, Jimmy Demetrios April 1, 1960 − May 30, 2021 With much sadness, we say goodbye to our Jimmy C but will always have his great music to keep close to all our hearts. Jimmy grew up in Richmond with a loving family and a supportive community of friends and musicians. He spread his wings and lived and played music in Tokyo, Japan, and then moved to London, UK, to pursue a wonderful life as a working musician in his Blues band, "Jimmy C and the Blues Dragons". His sister Chrysoula moved to London shortly after and there they lived for the last 20 years. They were family for each other, and their family grew. Jimmy married Aga and they had a beautiful son, Kosmas who is now almost three. It is heartbreaking for all of us who will miss him dearly: his dad, Kosmas Coletsis; his siblings, George, Maria, and Chrys; and all the family and friends who loved him, and there are so many. We will always have Jimmy on our minds and will always remember the beautiful bright smiles he had for life. Jimmy’s music will always keep him in our hearts. We love you!

We will miss her loving presence, but we are comforted knowing that she embarks upon a glorious afterlife.

JONES, Dolly (nee Fozard) June 23, 1930 - May 31, 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mom, and grandmother Dolly (Dorothea M.) Jones. Dolly lived in Vancouver and West Vancouver during her younger life and settled in Richmond from 1958 - 2021.

TODAY'S PUZZLE ANSWERS

On May 22nd 2021, the family was saddened to see Donald (Don) Guggisberg pass away after a brave battle with Amyloidosis. He fought his disease with the same persistence and determination that was typical throughout every endeavour during his life.

Don was predeceased by his wife Lin, and is survived by his wife Linda, his four daughters Julia (Randy), Sheri (Doug), Kim (Frank), Kelly (Johnathan) and by Linda’s children, Brandon and Daena, Don’s sister Diane and his nephew Danny. Don was a proud Papa to 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Brenna, Jordan, Alex, Michael, Marcus, Felix, Xavier, Nathan, Ryley, Kaden, Ziya, Lukas and Levina-Lynn. Don was born January 17, 1938 in Edmonton Alberta, to Roy and Mary Guggisberg. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Vancouver, BC. Don had a real zest for life. During his 83 years on this planet, there were many pursuits into which he dabbled: attending UBC, teaching elementary school, selling real estate, owning a fish and chip shop, operating a lumber mill, piloting pleasure boats and planes, driving transfer trucks, all the while raising a family in Langley with Lin. His boundless energy and curiosity guided his life making it full of activity, Don enjoyed meeting people and making friends as he and Linda travelled throughout the world.
