EV fee debate highly charged Eve Edmonds
EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
It’s been quite something reading the more than a dozen letters sent to us regarding electric vehicles (EVs). What’s had me hooked is the fact opinions are quite evenly split, and many are well informed — at least teaching me a few things. (You’ll see a sampling of the letters on the next couple of pages, but I will post more online.) The general contention comes down to — surprise, surprise — who pays for what. It’s hard to argue that it’s a good thing to continue spewing exhaust from fossil fuels into the atmosphere; however, many are bringing up questions such as: are wealthy Tessla drivers getting a free ride by plugging in at public charging stations? Granted, not all EVs are Teslas and not all EV drivers are wealthy, but why mess

charging.
Another concern is, does our electric power grid have the capacity to charge all these vehicles or will we be seeing power outages?
Finally, there are complaints that because EV drivers are not paying for gas, they’re also not paying the gas tax, which is used to build roads and maintain the public transit system.
To the first question, EV advocate John Roston reminded me the Richmond News wrote about this in that long-forgotten time before COVID (Jan. 14, 2020 to be exact) in a story headlined, “Fees come to Richmond city EV charging stations.” So, yes, EV drivers are paying for their power at city-operated charging stations such as the one at Steveston Community Centre. Roston also addressed the second concern about the power grid. “Over 80 per cent of EV charging is done at home overnight. EVs have charging timers that control when the EV begins charging. Our members set their timers to begin charging after midnight when demand on the power grid is extremely low and there is plenty of capacity for EV
On this point, it strikes me that even if EV drivers are catching a break on that, they’re also saving us plenty on the costs of climate change. Currently, the city is busy building dykes around Lulu Island to help protect us from rising sea levels, one of the effects of global warming. It’s not a cheap project but necessary, thanks, in part, to all those combustion engines we’re driving around (myself included.) Fussing about whether EV drivers are getting a sweet deal on electricity seems a bit like arguing over chairs on the Titanic. That said, details matter and if there’s a whiff of inequity, there’s going to be resistance, which is the last thing we need in the face of a climate emergency.
At my strata, council members are trying to figure out how to move forward on this. It appears our insurance won’t allow tenants to just run an extension cord from their homes, so council is looking into charging posts. The posts are installed and operated by an independent company and users pay for their power, much like how we currently pay for parking at a meter. There are still complications(how many to put in, where to put them) but I appreciate that we’re having the conversation. Currently, city council requires all new developments to have charging stations. Perhaps the same should apply to refitting older developments, although demand from residents may take care of that. I appreciate that there’s still much to discuss. For example, what if you can’t just charge your vehicle after midnight, and how are we going to pay for roads? But what’s not up for debate is the fact it’s time we wean ourselves off fossil fuels.

We are on Little time to adapt cliff’s edge
EVs should pay for road wear and tear Dear Editor,
Re: “There’s no free ride for EV drivers,” Letters, July 29. Operators of electric vehicles must also pay their share of B.C. road taxes which go towards the maintenance of roads in British Columbia. These taxes are normally collected through the purchase of gasoline. However, since EV users do not buy gasoline they are not paying their share of the road maintenance. What makes this even more necessary is the recent news that EVs are causing more wear and tear on our roads due to their heavier weight as a result of the heavy batteries, and yet they are not contributing to the cost of maintaining the damage they are causing.
Dear Editor,
the purchase of an EV and would not be opposed to a separate tax that is equivalent to what gasoline vehicles pay.
Dear Editor,
Re: “EVs drain electricity,” Letters, Aug. 5 With the IPCC report on climate change this week, I wanted to address Bob Garnett’s letter that people should hold off, or at least slow down, on the purchasing of electric vehicles.
I applaud the users of EVs and they are to be commended for their contribution to an improved environment but they cannot escape their responsibility to the maintenance of our roadways. Australia has just introduced such a tax to be levied on all EV owners.
The report clearly lists the catastrophes our planet is heading towards within the next few decades and, while I am a big believer countries and corporations should carry the bulk of the work needed to mitigate this emergency, there are clear actions those privileged enough can take, like using EVs in this area where our electricity is mainly generated via hydro.
Each EV owner must provide their current mileage to the government and after one year provide another reading. The owner is charged a predetermined fee (tax) based on the distance driven over the year. I would support a similar system for British Columbia. Is the government listening?
Continued reliance on fossil fuels and internal combustion vehicles will only nudge us off the point of no return — a cliff we’re only holding onto with a finger at this point. Perhaps we should advocate for our governments to to increase electricity capabilities, rather than for people to stop buying electric vehicles.

Re: “Who pays for power?”, Letters, August 5.

RICHMOND
As an EV owner, I understand the controversies and debates regarding EVs given its infancy compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. The letter from the concerned citizen claiming those who charge their EVs at the Steveston Community Centre are “getting free charging” is misinforming readers, as users are in fact paying $2 per hour for the first two hours and $5 per hour thereafter for these Level 2 chargers; for Level 3 chargers, users pays $8 per hour for a 25kW and $16 per hour for a 50kW station.
Given the science behind climate change, all levels of government are enacting policies to address the issue.
The federal government announced in June that 100 per cent of car and passenger truck sales in Canada will be zeroemission by 2035. Our provincial government passed the ZeroEmission Vehicles Act in 2019 that requires automakers to meet sales of light-duty vehicles of 10 per cent by 2025, 30 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2040. Given these projected timelines, Canadians have less than 20 years to adapt.

LETTERS Share the roads, share the costs Dear Editor, Re: “Who pays for power?” Letters, Aug. 5. In addition to the electrical power charging costs for EVs, who pays for roads used by EVs? EVs are immune from fuel taxes collected at the pumps for road construction and maintenance. EVs are immune from the Translink tax collected at the pumps for public transit services. It is past due, when private and commercial EV operators paid an equivalent cost for road usage and public transit subsidy as liquid fueled vehicle operators. The commercial cost advantage of operating an EV instead of the heavily taxed liquid fueled vehicle is significant and unfair. Share the roads, share the costs.

Save our swarms Dear Editor,
On July 24th as I was pulling out of the driveway of my home in Steveston, I noticed hundreds of bees buzzing around a shrub next to the sidewalk. The Burning Bush, as it’s commonly referred to, wasn’t flowering and I’d not noticed bees there before. The next day there were fewer bees around the shrub, but when I peered closer, nestled within the branches was a densely packed, swarming mass of bees the size of a large shoe. My first thought was to call pest control. I know bees are endangered, but I didn’t want a hive so close to the house, let alone next to the sidewalk where unsuspecting neighbours might walk by. When I searched online for “pest control bees” I noticed the Richmond Beekeepers Association link “Got a
Swarm? Please do not call an exterminator, call a beekeeper!”
hours or days, before finding a permanent hive location.
From the pictures on their site I could identify what I had was likely a honey bee swarm. I was also pleased to read, “Our association manages a volunteer honey bee swarm retrieval service, free of charge.”
To make sure they had the queen in the case, Karen and Mike stayed for an hour watching where other returning bees were drawn to — the shrub or the case. By this time, two curious young boys from a few houses away had gathered to watch. Karen and Mike patiently answered all their questions. My favourite from one of the boys was, “Where’s the king?”
I sent an email to the contact address, and within minutes I had a reply from the coordinator on duty requesting a picture of the swarm. Within an hour, beekeepers Karen Milton and her son Mike arrived at my house. Completely covered from head to toe in their white stingproof suits, they gently retrieved the swarm, and placed it in a case for transporting. As Karen explained, when a hive becomes too congested a swarm may break away to seek a new home. The swarm forms a buzzing cloud of bees and may settle on a branch or other structure for a few
In addition to the prompt and helpful removal of the swarm, Karen gave me a large jar of honey. The next day she let me know that the bees were settling in nicely in the apiary at their new home. Help save bees! If you notice a swarm, contact the Richmond Beekeepers Association.

Feds pledge $17M for harbour
recycle ocean plastics — one of the first facilities of its kind in Canada.
Maria Rantanen & Kirsten Clarke
The aim of establishing Steveston as a fishing hub was set by SHA board of directors in 2014.
MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan was in Steveston Tuesday announcing $17 million for the Steveston small craft harbour.
The federal government is investing $17 million to improve the Steveston Small Craft Harbour. This will allow the harbour authority to make safety improvements at the wharf at 3rd Avenue and Bayview Street including improvements to fire protection, basin dredging and electrical repairs. The Steveston Harbour Authority (SHA) has been working for seven years to become the “hub of B.C.’s commercial fishing industry,” explained Jaime Gusto, SHA general manager at an announcement Tuesday. While the salmon fishery has been closed this year, Gusto said there are other industries like prawn and crab that continue to operate.
“My goal is (that) anytime anyone in this country mentions or thinks or hears about the fishing industry, they think of Steveston,” Kiesman told the Richmond News in 2019. The SHA goal is two-fold: to provide facilities that foster a healthy, diverse commercial fishing industry while honouring Steveston’s rich history and tourism business.

their nets, after learning about the history of fishing and net-making at the cannery museum. Also on Trites Road, an 80-year-old heritage cannery was converted into Organic Ocean’s packaging and distribution centre.
“We are working to build infrastructure to support each and every one of them,” Gusto said.
At the time, SHA chair Robert Kiesman said CanTrawl’s facility was being designed so people could look through large picture windows as fishers make and mend
Last month, non-profit Ocean Legacy Foundation unveiled its new facility in the harbour, near CanTrawl Nets, which will

Harjit Sajjan, Minister of National Defence, Liberal MP for Vancouver South, was in Steveston making the announcement. Sajjan pointed out 45,000 Canadians are employed in commercial fishing industry, which was worth $3.7 billion in 2019. Steveston is one of 26 small craft harbours on the West Coast to receive funding – total funding is $50 million. It’s expected the federal government will call an election for October.

50 trees slated for removal by city
The removal of trees along the South Dyke Trail in Richmond has upset some residents. Approximately 50 trees in total, from No. 3 Road to 400 metres west of No. 4 Road, will be cut down this August to prepare for the South Dyke upgrade.
ergreen and shade tree species.
The trees are in the footprint of the new dyke and their removal is one of the first steps in the dyke construction project, explained city spokesperson Kim Decker.
Coun. Michael Wolfe said numerous people have written to the mayor and council expressing concern about the project, and he has stressed the need for habitat compensation with fellow councillors.
It’s necessary, she added, because the tree roots can provide a path for water, which can erode the dyke, she added.
The city will also relocate another nine trees on the north side of the dog park.
“Also, if trees within the footprint of the dyke lean or fall during a windstorm, they can cause major damage to the dyke,” read a city statement.
“It’s a massive loss, especially for kids who always go to those big trees with ropes and swing under them,” said community activist Karina Reid.
Regarding the timing, “dry summer weather is the most suitable for this project which is why the removal is scheduled for mid-August.
It’s also devastating because these are big shade trees and their removal will leave walkers with no respite from the scorching sun as they walk along the dyke, she added.
“Unfortunately, this means a few weeks of less shade for our park visitors and we apologize for that,” the statement continues.
Reid is asking the city to at least put off the tree removal project for a few
The city also explained that 130 trees would be planted once the dyke upgrade is complete, including native ev-
“My big concern is we shouldn’t be going ahead with the new work…until we have the habitat compensation plan built in,” said Wolfe. Wolfe, who has toured along Richmond shorelines in his single-person boat craft, said it’s extremely important to retain some trees and habitats which are hanging over the river during the dyke improvement process. “These existing trees hang over the river (and) provide shade and shelters (for creatures). Those need to be respected, marked and retained,” Wolfe said. “We really need to address that, to make this a priority before too much work gets started,” he added.

Bonfires in Terra Nova worry one local resident.
Remnants of bonfires in the old Grauer land in Terra Nova have been spotted by at least one local resident and he is worried one day they will get out of control. Gurdial Dale Badh, who lives in the Terra Nova area, said he sees remnants of fires almost every weekend. Given the recent dry spell — and hundreds of wildfires across the province — Badh is worried about a larger fire that could jump to the residential area. “Once that thing starts, it’s just going to spread,” he told the Richmond News. Furthermore, several large signs put up by the

Labour strife seems to have been averted just as flights to and from the U.S. to Vancouver International Airport are set to almost triple from June numbers. A YVR spokesperson said the airport is expecting 286 weekly flights in the month of August travelling to and from various destinations in the U.S., up from 104 weekly flights in June and 183 in July.

city warning against fires seem to have been pulled down, Badh explained. Richmond fire chief Tim Wilkinson said the area has been a “favourite” place for teens to build fires for years, and, when they are made aware of a fire, the fire department tries to educate them about the danger and get them to comply.
But repeat offenders and those who are argumentative can be slapped with a hefty fine. Richmond bylaws allow fines that fully recover the costs of the fire department response and cleanup of the scene, “which as you can image could be very costly,” Wilkinson said. Badh said he’d like to see more patrols by RCMP
during the evening and on weekends to curtail bonfires. Besides bonfires, the summer has been marked by a significant number of brush fires started by cigarette butts being thrown out of vehicle windows, Wilkinson said. “This is a dangerous and irresponsible action,” he added.

E-scooters piloted in Richmond scooters, are upright, motorized scooters with two to four wheels and a platform for standing on between the front and back wheels and a steering handlebar.
Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
The devices cannot be used on sidewalks or on unpaved trails such as the dike trails. (This pilot isn’t for mobility scooters, often used by seniors and people with mobility issues, which are allowed on sidewalks.)
Richmond is now taking part in a provincially led e-scooter pilot project, after the city was accepted into the project by the B.C. government last month. The pilot project, aimed at examining the safety of the devices, allows the use of e-scooters within the city as of July 27 – as long as they are in line with provincial regulations and Richmond’s bylaws, which set out speed limits and where e-scooters can be used. “Through monitoring and evaluation, the pilot project is an opportunity to understand the safety of e-scooters, impacts on the public realm, potential for travel mode shift, and community perceptions that in time, will help inform future active transportation initiatives,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a statement. E-scooters, also known as electric kick
Vaccine clinics scaled down Nono Shen
NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Most current vaccination clinics will be shut down in September after Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) started recording a significant drop in attendance. However, Richmond’s River Rock Theatre, the Italian Cultural Centre in Vancouver and the ICBC Test Collection Site in North Vancouver will remain open for vaccinations after Sept. 1. Eligible residents can attend these mass clinics by dropping in during operating hours or booking an appointment through the BC Get Vaccinated system (getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca). The closures are intended to ensure all resources are allocated effectively, according to a VCH media release. “Resources from transitioning clinics will be redirected to support targeted outreach efforts in specific communities, where vaccine uptake has been slower or there is need for additional capacity,” read the press release. The new “targeted” vaccination sites will open on an as-needed basis and will be published at vch.ca.
E-scooter riders must be 16 years and older, must wear a helmet and cannot carry passengers. However, they don’t have to have a driver’s licence. In Richmond, e-scooters can only be used on designated cycling pathways, on local streets with a speed limit of 50 km/h or less and which don’t have lane or directional dividing lines, or on streets with a dividing line and maximum speed limit of 30 km/h. E-scooters are now allowed in some roads and paths in Richmond. City of Richmond photo
E-scooters can also be used on off-street paved pathways next to a roadway or in parks that are signed or marked for shared use. More shared use signage for paved pathways will be added where needed.
On roadways, the maximum speed limit is 20 km/h while on shared-use pathways, it’s 15 km/h. Furthermore, riders must slow down to a “walking speed” when they encounter pedestrians, according to the city. Enforcement will be done by Richmond RCMP. An amendment to the Motor Vehicle Act in 2019 lets certain local governments work with the province on the e-scooter pilot project, which examines the safety of the devices. E-bikes, however, fall under the Motor Vehicle Act and have a maximum speed of 32 km/h. But Richmond city council amended its bylaws to limit the maximum speed to 15 km/h on shared pathways with pedestrians, such as the Railway Greenway or dyke trails. Meanwhile, segways, motorized skateboards or similar devices cannot operate on roads or sidewalks in B.C.
City preps for MLA Warnke part of Class of ‘91 heat wave Valerie Leung
VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
The City of Richmond is providing several options for Richmondites to keep cool after a heat warning was issued for the upcoming weekend. After Saturday’s shower broke Metro Vancouver’s 52day drought, Environment Canada has issued yet another heat warning for several regions across B.C.’s south coast including Richmond. The weather agency reported on Tuesday temperatures are expected to reach into the upper 30s during the day and overnight temperatures between 16 and 19C from Thursday through Sunday. Medical officers in both the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) and Fraser Health regions are urging residents to take precautions to protect themselves during the heat,
especially those with health risks associated with high temperatures. Richmond’s Cambie and South Arm Community Centres, as well as the Minoru Centre for Active Living are providing spaces for people to take refuge from the heat. Four Richmond Public Libraries, Brighouse Cultural Centre and the Richmond Art Gallery and Museum are also open for walk-ins. Shade tents at Paulik, Steveston, Dover and McLean parks will also be set up. Spray parks will be operating at Steveston, King George and Burkeville parks, and misting stations across Richmond will also be set up. Symptoms of heat-related illness can include thirst, dizziness, confusion, weakness and fainting or collapsing, including loss of consciousness, according to health authorities. - with files from Stefan Labbe

Allan Warnke, political scientist, former RichmondSteveston MLA and member of the “Class of ’91,” passed away in late June. Warnke represented Richmond-Steveston as a BC Liberals from 1991 to 1996, narrowly beating out NDP candidate Harold Steves. Warnke was elected under then-Liberal leader Gordon Wilson, who subsequently left the party to form the Progressive Democratic Alliance and later joined the NDP. There were 17 BC Liberal MLAs elected in 1991 under Wilson, as the Socred Party had gone down in the polls. Serving in opposition, Warnke was the Official Opposition Critic for Aboriginal Affairs. In the next election, with Wilson gone from the leadership, Warnke wasn’t the BC Liberal candidate, rather Geoff Plant
was parachuted in to run for the seat. Warnke ran for re-election as an independent but lost the seat to Plant. Warnke was a political scientist and had attended Simon Fraser University, McMaster University, University of Toronto and Osgood Hall Law School.
He lectured at several universities, including UBC, but landed at Vancouver Island University — commuting from his home in Richmond — after his short political career. (He also ran federally in 1988.) In his candidate papers for the 1991 election, Warnke’s volunteer work includes serving on the board of the Caring Place Campaign. He also volunteered with the Friends of the Richmond Library, Friends of the Richmond Archives and the Canadian Red Cross. Warnke was predeceased by his wife Geraldine in 2018.

Jimmy Tham was in his backyard Tuesday morning, Aug. 10, when his son approached him asking what happened to their mailbox, which appeared to have been broken into. In a video Tham sent to the Richmond News, a man is seen slowly approaching Tham’s house, near Granville Avenue and No. 4 Road. The man appears to be examining Tham’s mailbox before reaching into his backpack for a pair of pliers.

He is then seen attempting to puncture and pry open the mailbox. After what appears to be a couple of unsuccessful attempts, he begins to walk away while staring at Tham’s car in the driveway. The man then gets on his bike and rides off. Tham told the News that their metal mailbox’s keyhole was damaged and a couple of panel pieces were ripped off, leaving sharp edges. “It’s scary because we didn’t think something like this would happen to us, let alone in our neighbourhood,” said Tham. “I thought theft would be more common at
night, but this guy did it in the early morning, which makes it even more surprising.”

He added that the footage was provided to the Richmond RCMP, who said they would be “on the lookout” for the suspect. “If this guy can break into a mailbox, he will break into cars and any property. Even though it is a minor theft, he is definitely geared for bigger things considering he took a second look at my car.” Tham is reminding everyone in the community to always lock their doors and keep valuables out of sight.

Food bank Youth deliver care packages Valerie Leung hampers for students
and we build our packages from there.” She added, during the pandemic, there was a huge focus on mental health and they hoped to contribute to mental health awareness as well.
VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
While schools take a break during the summer, local food banks in Richmond and across Metro Vancouver do not. Richmond Food Bank executive director Hajira Hussain said, compared to last year, they saw a 26-per-cent increase in customers — where 27 per cent are children — since the pandemic hit. “Our school meal program had to be suspended because our volunteers weren’t allowed at the schools so we started delivering snacks to a few high schools and continued throughout last year and this year,” said Hussain, adding that they were trying to find other ways to help the students during the summer. In July, the Richmond Food Bank partnered with the Richmond School District, St. Alban’s Church and Beth Tikvah to bring in the Backpack Buddies Program to Richmond. Hussain told the Richmond News there are about 42 students accessing the program through the Richmond School District each week where they receive hampers with snacks for just the students themselves. The hampers include individual cereal boxes, granola bars and hummus and crackers as well as fresh produce and fruit. Food for the program is offered through Food Banks of Canada’s After the Bell program. “The program has been doing really well and we’ve received amazing feedback about it.” Meanwhile, Hussain said the food bank saw an “increase in pressure” built over time during the pandemic. “Usually we have maybe a single person increase, but from March to April we saw a 10 per cent increase and then another increase from June onwards.” Last year, she added, the Richmond Food Bank served 1,925 individuals per month, but this past June they served up to 2,427 individuals. “Our volunteers are working the best they can to meet the demand while still maintaining physical distancing at our food bank locations. We’re thankful to everyone who has donated to us to help us serve the community during this difficult time.” —Valerie Leung/Richmond News
Many are fortunate enough to not have to give a second thought about basic necessities, but a Richmond-based organization is hoping to provide essential items to those in need of them.
“Since we started, we always write a positive message along with every package we do distribute. These messages are written by our executive team and members.”
Jasmine Ren, president of youth-led Gogivers Foundation, said she wanted to make a positive impact in the community and help those in need who may have a hard time choosing between paying for food, basic hygiene items or clothing.
While Gogivers Foundation is Richmond-based, Ren said she hopes their organization can expand internationally. “We believe there will be a post-COVID-19 era and with that in mind we really want to focus on mental health,” said Ren, adding that they will be promoting mental health awareness and challenges that the community can get involved with.
“We noticed a lot of non-profits focus on one specific item and we think sometimes it might not be as high in demand in one month in comparison to other months.” The non-profit foundation has been fundraising and donating care packages since March 21 with high-in-demand items each month. Recently, the organization donated 60 packages containing water, snacks, chips and fruit to people in Chinatown. However, COVID-19 became a hurdle to them just like any other organization. Ren, who is heading into Grade 12 at Palmer secondary this fall, told the Richmond News they want their team

members to stay safe due to the ongoing pandemic so they had to find another way to reach out to people in need. “Instead of just collecting what we think people needed, we contacted charities working with either the homeless or (people who) require help and asked them what items they are short on
Ren told the News, despite being new, members of Gogivers have a list of events planned for the upcoming summer including distributing hot lunches to youth in need and hosting an online auction to fundraise for future care packages. Ren and her executive team want to remind others that while people may have items they don’t need or want anymore, they can be donated to those who have use for them.

Honks, cheers keep Dunfee on track lated him on his third-place finish.
Maria Rantanen
But it was a bittersweet competition for Dunfee, who at 31 won’t have the chance to compete in the 50-kilometre racewalking Olympic event again as it is being withdrawn from the lineup.
MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Gratitude towards his hometown — that’s what Evan Dunfee is feeling after winning a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics in the scorching heat.
Dunfee said the Olympic committee’s reason that it’s not a “youthful” event doesn’t fly with him.
After his third-place finish in the men’s racewalking 50-km event, Dunfee said Richmondites honking and shouting words of encouragement on the streets of Richmond over the past year helped him through some tough training.
“It’s a lost cause, but I am going to shout from the rooftops how great the event is to anyone who will listen,” Dunfee said. Dunfee hasn’t decided whether he’ll compete in future Olympic 20-km racewalking events as the 50-km race is what he holds near and dear to his heart, a symbol of endurance in athletics.
“I want people to know how many training sessions that support pushed me through,” Dunfee told the Richmond News. “(There were) days I was struggling and wanting to cut my workout short, and having someone pass by on the Railway Greenway and say ‘good luck at the Olympics’ just lifted my spirits in getting through that session.”
Evan Dunfee arrived at YVR Monday from the Tokyo Olympics, welcomed back by friends and family, his partner Sara Semkiw (far left), mother Karen, dad Don (back) and long-time coach Gerry Dragomir, who travelled with him. Maria Rantanen photo
Dunfee just missed the podium at the 2016 Rio Olympics, coming in fourth. The bronze medalist was initially disqualified, giving Dunfee hope for a medal, but then it was reinstated, something he didn’t want to appeal. So, Dunfee’s determination was that much stronger this time round. His coach, Gerry Dragomir, who has been coaching him for 20 years, said Dunfee is the most stubborn person he knows, but much of that stems from his determination to do well in his sport. “He is probably one of the most passionate people I know for improvement and so it’s all about tiny little bits getting better and better and better,” Dragomir said. Dunfee’s time was 3:50:59 — 51 seconds behind the gold-medal winner, Dawid Tomala. Silver went to Germany’s Jonathan Hilbert who was 36 seconds behind Tomala, and 15 seconds ahead of Dunfee. “We were aiming for the top,” Dragomir said. “So, there was a little bit of disappointment that we didn’t get what we were after, but certainly a lot of elation that he
got what he did.” During much of the 50-km race, held in Sapporo, 800 kilometres from Tokyo, Dunfee was in the chase pack, a group of racewalkers well behind Tomala. So, it was a matter of jockeying for the next top-level spots. With just a couple kilometres left in the race, Dunfee was in fifth place when he saw just ahead of him Portugal’s João Vieira — who beat him by three seconds in the 2019 world championship to capture the silver. Dunfee’s immediate thought was “I can’t let him beat me again” and he pushed past him into fourth place. But his next thought was “I can’t come fourth again.” With 500 metres to go, he started begging his body for a little more strength, struggling with a cramping hamstring. “All of a sudden, my body went ‘here’s a little bit more’ and I was able to change gears and hunt down the athlete from

Spain, Marc Tur, who was in third,” Dunfee said. So, on the very last metres of the race, Dunfee managed to squeeze past Tur. “That was fabulous the way he found that extra little bit to get past the Spanish fellow,” Dragomir said. Family, friends, fans welcome Dunfee home “Every parent should have the opportunity to know the feeling you get when your child is so happy.” This was the reaction of Dunfee’s mother, Karen, just minutes after her bronze-medal Olympian son got off the plane Monday morning.

The racewalking event was held in Sapporo where the temperature is normally balmier, but a heat wave had hit the city, and the competitors were racewalking in 30-degree heat by the final laps. Dunfee, however, said he tends to do better in the heat — the world championship bronze he got two years ago was in Doha, Qatar.

“Especially over the last 18 months, showcasing the ability to endure is incredibly powerful,” he said.
Now having an Olympic medal in his hand, Dunfee said he’s excited to be able to show it to youth — which is different from just telling them he came in fourth. “It’s so nice to have this tangible thing — when I go to school talks, I can hand something to the kids and say this is the thing I’m talking about,” he said. Besides a bronze medal, Dunfee’s win has netted a windfall for the Richmond Food Bank.

Total Soccer to hire only fully vaxxed staff Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A Richmond soccer academy says it’s implementing a mandatory vaccination policy for all new hires. Current staff were also asked to voluntarily disclose their vaccination status, said Brendan Quarry, co-owner and operations director of Total Soccer and TSS Football Club. The policy was implemented to help both players and employees feel safer. “What we’re trying to do is give assurance to our customers, many of whom I’m sure experienced a high degree of worry over the last year, sending their kids to school… We wanted to make sure that when they’re sending their kids to extracurricular activities that we’re not adding to that burden,” Quarry said. “And to be honest, it’s also about helping our employees feel safer and more secure as well, since they’re going to be working with many kids who are unvaccinated.”
About half of Total Soccer’s players are under the age of 12, said Quarry — meaning they aren’t eligible for a shot. Typically, Total Soccer will see about 300 to 350 players in each of its three programs, which run in the fall, winter and spring, respectively.
The policy also extends to TSS Football Club. The issue of mandatory vaccination policies is something Quarry believes many are grappling with, and is something more businesses may end up implementing.
He said Total Soccer has worked to mitigate risk as much as possible during the pandemic, including monitoring ventilation at its indoor facility and discussing what to do around vaccinations once those were available. The organization consulted with lawyers and found it could make it mandatory for any new hires to be vaccinated, Quarry explained. “We were given the legal advice that if you’re hiring someone for the first time, you have every right to have certain conditions around that employment. So if someone is not comfortable being vaccinated, then they simply can choose not to apply to work at our organization.” Total Soccer also asked all existing staff to voluntarily comply with the policy, which
Total Soccer is implementing a mandatory vaccine policy for all new hires. Total Soccer photo will also extend to volunteers. While current staff didn’t have any issue with the policy and all of them will be fully vaccinated by September, Quarry said if someone hadn’t wanted to get the jab Total Soccer would have looked at, for example, making them get tested more often.
“It’s also about trying to push things in the right direction. As a society, the more of us that are vaccinated, the more we are hopefully and eventually going to get back to normal.”
In the U.S., Google and Facebook have said they will require workers to be vaccinated before they return to the office. Meanwhile, Quebec announced last Thursday the province will be implementing a vaccine passport system to curb the spread of COVID-19.
