Reader angry over Sex workers deserve sex work coverage the same protections Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

that’s widely held.”

Re: “Sex work allowed ... in a turtle neck,“ Opinion, Feb. 10.

If I was teaching a journalism course, you’d have been failed for that story and expelled.

While I am happy that you revisited your story from a couple of months ago about sex work in Richmond, I am even more delighted that SWAN Vancouver had its say.

I agree, we’re decades — even centuries — past having a “grown-up conversation” about sex work. Sadly, the Richmond News set the tone of such a conversation back by several decades.

I can’t provide better insight than they, but when I read the original article I felt like I had been transported back to Smalltown, Alabama, in the 1950s.

I further agree that you should report “something that was happening publicly in our community.”

The sophomoric, one-sided language in that article was outdone only by this tautology in your editorial last week: “Besides, if we presented a stereotype, it’s one

But really? An angry spouse rises above the level of “dog bites man”?

Re: “Sex work allowed in Richmond...in a turtle neck,” Opinion, Feb. 10. To begin with, I appreciate the Richmond News taking the issue of sex work in Richmond so seriously that it published an editorial on it. If others in the media world took the sex work issue as seriously, we would see more understanding and less sad knee-jerk disapproval in discussions on this complex issue; one where low-income women do sex work to support themselves and their families, knowing they will face harsh censure because some people in Richmond feel they have the right to mercilessly judge them.

are “widely held” and “similar claims are heard from politicians, speakers and the general public.”

Many such people also speak out against violence against women, forever failing to understand when you stereotype sex workers you make them a target for violence — indeed, when you sexually stereotype any women you make her (us) a target for violence. It seems simple to me: if we want to protect women from violence, we have to protect all women. The days when we shamefully thought we had to pick and choose which women deserve protection should be long over.

Your editorial truthfully notes that stereotypes of sex workers

Let Anna’s birds build their nests first Dear Editor, A plea to all friends of hummingbirds: Even though temperatures are still low, our Anna’s hummingbirds are already making/repairing their nests in preparation for egg-laying. Please make sure they can get the materials they need. They’re looking for soft stuff like the down from asters (which is why you shouldn’t cut flower stalks in winter), moss, lichen, feathers, cobwebs to glue everything together. I see my Anna’s flying around the yard, inspecting possible sources, including the sticky-gluey suet cake? Please don’t over-clean your property until the hummingbirds have found what they want.

Taxes add to Rental zoning restrictive housing costs Dear Editor,

Re: “Council holds ﬁrm on rental zoning,” News, Jan. 13

Dear Editor, Richmond has long suffered from a critical issue that has now become extremely critical. I do not think there is a reader here that does not understand that affordable housing is not available in a signiﬁcant quantity in Richmond. We’re no longer talking about homes to buy, we are talking rental property. The days when two young professionals could buy a house and raise a family in Richmond are long past. Right now, rental properties are priced so high people cannot afford to live and work in Richmond. Businesses in the service and hospitality industries cannot ﬁnd people to work in their businesses because living in Richmond is too expensive.

Some businesses are limiting hours of service and others are closing.

(On Feb. 22, there will be a public hearing on imposing rental-only zoning on 60 properties that already have rental buildings.)

Richmond city council has contributed to the problem by raising property taxes by nearly 5.68 per cent this year alone. Coupled with the rise in land value, landlords will be forced to pass the increase in their costs on to their renters.

The proposal for residential rental-only zoning would be much better for these properties, their tenants and the city if, while requiring at least one for one or more residential rental replacement, it also allowed the addition of ground ﬂoor arterial commercial units and some residential stratas.

Raising rents will not help Richmond residents and it will not help our economy to thrive.

Restricting existing aging residential rental developments to residential rentals only would reduce options for remediation, rejuvenation, rental replacement and densiﬁcation, and also their ability to re-ﬁnance.

While council can do little to control rising property values, they have 100 per cent control over our taxes. One has to ask if council has lost contact with the needs of Richmond? Perhaps this is a question to be asked this autumn.

Scott Stewart

RICHMOND

It would also make it less desirable to build residential rentals instead of stratas in the future, out of concern their future opportunities would be severely limited by the city. Many of the 60 properties are 40-50 years old, located on arterial streets in or near town centres and will soon be facing such deci-

sions. The buildings are wearing out and experiencing or approaching costly plumbing, electrical, rooﬁng and exterior repairs.

The buildings are functionally obsolete with walk-up bachelor apartments, single-glazed windows, no or obsolete fire systems without sprinklers and other issues. Apartments for elderly or disabled don’t meet current needs. In such cases, redevelopment and densification may be preferable to remediation, and allowing some commercial and/or stratas will increase financing options to support rentals. I have been a volunteer director at one of these locations, the non-profit Legion Senior Citizen Society “Golden Mews,” for eight years, and involved in development and operation of other non-profits. Through involvement with ANAF 284 redevelopment as a volunteer director 10 years ago, I’ve seen how mixed use developments can be symbiotic, providing lower-cost housing while also providing small business opportunities and expanding the city tax base.

Woman strings along a romance scammer Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond woman is warning people to be wary of romance scammers online, after someone tried to dupe her into buying and transferring cryptocurrency. Sydney Yuen wasn’t surprised back in December, when a stranger contacted her via Facebook, complimenting her on one of the many dishes she posts from time to time. Yuen, who is in her 30s, said she’s in many social media groups and such interactions happen all the time. But after only two days of exchanging messages with the stranger, there were already some red ﬂags popping up. “I went along with it to begin with. Although there’s no indication on my proﬁle that I was single, I don’t have that on social media,” Yuen told the Richmond News, after reporting the scam to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). “He sent a video, claiming he was in this nice place enjoying a ballerina performance. I searched the place from the video and it appeared to be in Moscow. “When I asked him about it, he claimed he was in San Francisco. He claimed many places look the same now. That was it for me.” Yuen then decided to take the fraudster for a ride himself, stringing him along with the motive that “as long as he’s wasting time with

me, maybe I’m keeping them away from someone else.” She said she kept him going for a month or so, into mid-January, letting him believe she was still on board, as he professed his love for her. Yuen never reciprocated the sentiment, but asked for his address in California, so she could send him a card for Chinese New Year’s. Not surprisingly, he refused. “I was trying to get him to give away details of his whereabouts,” she added. “I think he realized I was onto him and he stopped contacting me. That was a month ago.” Yuen said the man, who claimed to be of Asian ethnicity, rarely talked directly about money. “He would then subtly slide into the conversation that he has a family member who was a father ﬁgure to him, and that family has insider information about trading in London Gold. He claimed to use cryptocurrency to trade in gold to avoid taxes. By that time, I knew he was a scam artist.” The BBB has witnessed a growth in romance scams in recent years, with 276 reports received last year, a 13 per cent increase from 2020. In 2022, the number of reported romance scam cases has already more than doubled in the ﬁrst two months of the year when compared to the same period last year.

A Richmond Canada Line station entrance once again became a parking spot for a vehicle over the weekend. According to a Facebook post, a Toyota Highlander was parked on the pavement area outside the Richmond-Brighouse station, next to Scotiabank, on Saturday. The post, along with several photos, was uploaded onto the Facebook page “Richmond Learns to Park and Drive.” “Toyota Highlander display at Scotiabank,” reads the post. Many people were not surprised with several responses saying “another one?” and “lol not again,” and some even commenting on the fact there is mall parking directly across the street and asking “how entitled can people be.” However, others took the opportunity to poke fun at the situation. “Oh, this isn’t a photoshoot for Toyotas?” said one social media user, while another

Pharmacist sues London Drugs over COVID-19 vaccine mandate Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A pharmacist has sued London Drugs, claiming the Richmond-based company wrongfully dismissed her over its COVID-19 vaccination policy. Vancouver resident Lina Reid — who worked as a staff pharmacist at London Drugs for 16 years — was placed on unpaid leave for an undetermined length of time on Nov. 1, 2021, because she was not fully vaccinated and didn’t consent to regular COVID-19 testing, according to her notice of civil claim ﬁled Jan. 28 in BC Supreme Court. London Drugs announced last August, as of Nov. 1, 2021, all employees would be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of employment, or alternatively be regularly tested. The policy was expected to extend to any future

booster shots as recommended by public health. But Reid claims there was no agreement or term of employment between herself and London Drugs that allowed it to mandate she undergo a medical procedure — either vaccination or testing — or for the company to unilaterally place her on unpaid leave. Reid, who was 60 years old at the time, also claims her employment was terminated on Nov. 1, when she was placed on unpaid leave, and is suing for damages for wrongful dismissal. In her lawsuit, she claims London Drugs has been able to operate safely since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 by following public health guidelines. “The plaintiff speciﬁcally pleads that the unilateral decision to now require vaccines and testing could not have been a bona-ﬁde occupational requirement as the defendant has re-

peatedly demonstrated it can safely operate without such a requirement,” the lawsuit reads. “The point is further underscored by the fact that the British Columbia government has speciﬁcally chosen not to impose a vaccine mandate on the defendant or the general population.”

In an emailed statement to the Richmond News, London Drugs said it wouldn’t comment on outstanding legal disputes with a specific employee but pointed out it has numerous health and safety policies in place. “All employees, including pharmacists, are currently required to show evidence of full vaccination or demonstrate negative COVID status through ongoing screening,” the company said. They added they’re confident their health and safety policies are justified and will be “upheld in any court proceedings.”

Dessert store raided, robbed

Woman’s ﬂoat home sinks Valerie Leung

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A fundraiser has been set up for a long-time Richmond resident whose ﬂoat home sank earlier this month.

It was a bad weekend for one Richmond restaurant owner who discovered his store’s glass front had been smashed and all the cash in the register gone.

Mare, an elderly pensioner living at the “Richmond Marina Float Home community,” near the Middle Arm Fraser Inlet, has reportedly lost everything she owned after her home started sinking at low tide on Feb. 2. According to a FundRazer campaign, which was set up by a friend — Laura Cuthbert — neighbours helped rescued Mare and her two cats from a small bedroom window at 6 a.m. as the home started to take in water. Cuthbert said Mare is an “elderly pensioner, with chronic health concerns,” and lives on a “very limited” budget. “Later in the morning, Mare was able to crawl back into her sinking home to retrieve a few of her diabetes and heart medications,” reads the fundraising post. Unfortunately, Mare’s float home was uninsured and she “has lost everything, including her identification.” “We are a group of tight knit community members... It’s been very hard to see our friend go through this. It’s certainly a float home owner’s worst nightmare,” Cuthbert

According to a photo circulated on Chinese social media site WeChat, the front door of Snowy Village Dessert Cafe on Alexandra Road had been smashed, leaving shattered glass all over the ﬂoor. Richmond RCMP said they were notiﬁed of the burglary at around 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 13 after a bystander in the area noticed damage to the local dessert store’s front door.

The partially sunken ﬂoat home on the middle arm of the Fraser River. told the Richmond News.

“A rock was located inside the business which is likely the object used to break the glass on the front door. Some property and a sum of cash was reported missing,” said Richmond RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

On the fundraising page, Cuthbert says Mare is an “exceptionally kind hearted, humble, authentic, generous and caring” person, adding that “Mare doesn’t have anywhere else to turn to, it’s up to us to keep her aﬂoat.” The fundraiser was set up on Feb. 11 and has since raised $11,790 of its $25,000 goal. To donate, go to Richmond-News.com and search “Mare.”

The restaurant owner told the Richmond News that around $1,000 and four iPads were missing. He said this is the ﬁrst time in years he’s had a breakin.

Private rooms have been set aside at a children’s COVID-19 clinic for kids who have autism, other neurodiversity issues or are just anxious about getting the shot. On Friday, the Paciﬁc Autism Family Network building was buzzing with families arriving to get their kids vaccinated. Those who were highly anxious about the procedure were able to get it done in one of six private rooms where nurses worked with the kids to alleviate their anxieties. Brother and sister Declan and Charlotte Christensen were both quite apprehensive about getting their second COVID-19 shot. They had received their ﬁrst doses at a drive-through clinic at the

BCIT campus in Burnaby.

So, when their parents heard about the Richmond clinic, they jumped at the chance to get the second round done at a building they were already familiar with. Declan had previously attended preschool there.

“He loves this building,” his mother Jennifer Christensen said, adding the atmosphere felt “completely different” from their previous drive-through experience. “We come in, we’re welcomed, everybody says hello, people are accustomed to working with neurodiverse people, people on the spectrum,” dad Mark added. VCH began operating dedicated children’s clinics in December and they are tailored so children, parents and guardians have a positive and child-centred experience. As of Jan. 4, more than 7,600 kids have been vaccinated at the autism centre.

The kids’ clinic has a variety of high-tech gadgets to help kids who are anxious about getting the jab. When Charlotte got her vaccine, clinic manager Jenesse Macdonald, used a BuzzyHelps — a vibrating toy bee with a miniature ice pack on it — that’s placed “between the pain and the brain” to help activate the brain and reduce the pain. In the end, Charlotte reported “it didn’t hurt as

much as I expected.” There is a room where vaccinated kids have to wait 15 minutes to make sure there are no complications. Its walls are covered in pictures made by kids who have been vaccinated. In addition to colouring supplies, there’s a tablet in the waiting room hooked up to a pulsometer that guides kids through breathing exercises after their shot. And to help parents who have

language issues, there is a mobile interpreter that will connect to a live interpreter.

Macdonald said they have worked to smooth over the process for children with anxiety. Sometimes, they have to come up with creative solutions to meet kids where they’re at. When one child wouldn’t leave the car to come into the building to be vaccinated, two nurses headed out to administer the vaccine in the parking lot, Macdonald explained. “We want an overall positive experience, even if it’s not a fun experience,” she said. The Paciﬁc Autism Family Network is located at 3688 Cessna Dr. The central intake number for all clinics in Vancouver Coastal Health is 604-263-7377.

PINK SHIRT DAY

Pink shirt lessons come from children Nono Shen

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmondite Way Hu didn’t know anything about Pink Shirt Day before her daughter told her about it in 2008. “One day, my daughter came home and asked me: ‘Mom, could you please help me find a pink shirt for school tomorrow?’ Then I began learning the whole history and the meaning of Pink Shirt Day,” said Hu, who later joined her daughter in wearing pink to support its message of anti-bullying. Hu’s daughter is now at the University of Toronto after graduating from Richmond Secondary. However, Hu still has some pink T-shirts at home and will hand them out if her friends’ children need them on Feb. 23 this year. Wearing pink is a significant first step to raising awareness about anti-bullying, said Hu, but, she added, there are other things parents can do to help kids deal with bullying.

Growing up, Hu’s daughter Mindy was always an outspoken child who was never scared to stand up for what’s right, Hu recalled.

“When my daughter was in Grade 3, one of her classmates was being called ‘fat’ in public by another classmate. My daughter stood up right away and told the bully, ‘please stop using abusive language like this,’” said Hu. She said she feels incredibly proud of her daughter for speaking up, not just for herself, but also for others. In addition to wearing pink to support anti-bullying, Hu thinks it’s also necessary for parents to have discussions with their children about compassion, kindness and self-love. “My daughter has taught me a lot and it has been a learning process for both of us. I look forward to my daughter bringing these values to work, to her family and friend circle soon,” said Hu. Another Richmondite, Kathy Miao, who immigrated from China with her family sev-

eral years ago, agreed with Hu and encouraged fellow parents to keep an open line of communication with their children. “Sometimes children don’t want to reveal their vulnerable side to others, including their loved ones. So my husband and I try to be our children’s trusted ﬁgure, making them feel safe and comfortable to discuss any issues related to bullying,” said Miao. Miao’s family has a daily routine — no matter how busy they are, they share funny stories or things they hope will add to their dinner table conversations every night.

Miao explained that her daughter wasn’t a pushover, but her personality wasn’t “aggressive” either. Therefore, instead of asking Emma to ﬁght back, Miao and her husband gave her another alternative.

My daughter has taught me a lot and it’s been a learning process for both of us.

“One time, my daughter Emma told us she had a bad day at school. Later we ﬁgured out other children gave her a super mean nickname and she hated it,” said Miao.

“The best way is to talk it out and come to an understanding with Emma while helping her to build inner strength,” said Miao, adding the whole process might take some time. To cheer Emma up, Miao and her husband Peter Wang even played a game together — they started creating fun nicknames for each other.

“We had a blast in the end and Emma slowly understood why others gave her a nickname. She didn’t feel that upset anymore. She now could see the problem from different perspectives,” said Wang.

PINK SHIRT DAY

City council goes pink for Anti-Bullying Day Whether fuchsia, bubble gum, salmon, magenta, coral or all of the above, the City of Richmond is encouraging everyone to wear pink next Wednesday, Feb. 23 to mark the national Anti-Bullying — or Pink Shirt — Day.

Richmond’s youth sporting organizations are doing their bit to recognize Pink Shirt Day again this year. Richmond FC and the Richmond Jets are just a couple of the clubs encouraging their thousands of members to wear pink next Wednesday, Feb. 23 to draw attention to anti-

bullying initiatives. Last year, the Jets, thanks to donations, actually raised more than $7,000 for charity Kids Help Phone in the run-up to Pink Shirt Day. Richmond FC still has spaces open for its spring program.

Animals teach empathy, combat bullying: BC SPCA The BC SPCA aims to teach kids and youth empathy by showing them connections between animals, humans and the environment.

BC SPCA’s programs target youth between the ages of ﬁve and 13, which is a time when youth learn empathy skills and how to show compassion for others.

Thousands of children across B.C. take part in the BC SPCA’s “humane education programs,” including summer camps, school presentations, Kids Club, animal clubs and workshops, which the animal welfare organization says help kids to learn about these connections.

“This is the age range when children are able to understand how their actions impact others and when children are beginning to create their own social networks, including the close connections they have with animals,” said Naherniak.

Focusing on “empathy development” with pets can help young people understand the consequences of bullying, according to the BC SPCA.

“Developing empathy is a skill that needs to be taught and practiced,” said Craig Naherniak, BC SPCA general manager of humane education, in a press release. The focus is on “helping young people understand how their attitudes and behaviours impact all animals, from pets to wildlife,” he added.

The development of empathy, kindness and pro-social skills is crucial at all age levels in tackling bullying, Naherniak added. “While humans may have the capacity to cause harm to animals and the environment, we as individuals also have the power to make a difference.” He said research on the impact of teaching humane education to children shows children who have participated in these programs score higher on empathy scales.

Animals, humans share emotions “They also show an increase in prosocial skills, a better ability to regulate their emotions and more helping behaviours,” he added in the press release.

A key component of the BC SPCA’s programming involves recognizing the shared emotions and needs that humans and animals have. “By learning and understanding that just like them, an animal can feel happy, nervous, afraid or angry, children as young as kindergarten age demonstrate the ability to recognise and relate to animal body lan-

COMMUNITY I became passionate about science because of teachers and mentors. JANA CAINE

Student eyes top prize Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond student is setting her sights on one of the country’s top full graduate scholarships. Jana Caine — a Palmer secondary alumnus and current Simon Fraser student — is one of this year’s 50 finalists across Canada for one of 20 McCall MacBain Scholarships for aspiring community leaders to attend McGill University. In March, Caine will advance to final interviews in Montréal for the program’s second cohort. She is studying chemistry, molecular biology and biochemistry at Simon Fraser, volunteers as a peer mentor, paddled for the recreational dragon boat team and worked with the Math Catcher program to compile a collection of mathematics resources using traditional Indigenous storytelling. Caine also worked as a children’s cooking instructor for South Arm Community Centre in Richmond, where she proposed and implemented a new program for seniors and children to create a community garden. If selected, the award will cover her master’s program tuition and fees, plus a living stipend of $2,000 per month and a relocation grant. For a two-year master’s degree, the tuition, fees, and living stipend could be approximately $60,000 to $70,000. And even if Caine is not selected, she is still eligible to receive a $10,000 finalist award. She was nominated by Simon Fraser and shortlisted from a pool of nearly 700 Canadian applicants following an application and interview process which considers character, community engagement, leadership potential and entrepreneurial drive on top of academic strength. Caine already participated in a first round of regional interviews in November. “I became passionate about science because of teachers and mentors who dedicated their time to fostering my interests,” said Caine. “I am inspired by these individuals to support the personal and academic growth of others.”

Jana Caine is one of 50 top university students chasing 20 McCall MacBain Scholarships for aspiring community leaders to attend McGill University.

Richmond gets its ﬁrst road cycling club mornings.

Alan Campbell

Lee noted that the idea came about because her husband, Tim, also an avid road cyclist, owns the Sanctuary Café at the foot of No. 2 Road, which is a popular refreshment spot for cyclists from Vancouver and elsewhere.

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

It’s a sight you see frequently on Richmond’s more rural roads — groups of serious-looking cyclists, resplendent in their very tight-ﬁtting and colourful gear.

“He had a Thursday-night ride come in, with about 50 people wanting to take part. We recognized the demand was there in Richmond,” added Lee.

What you might not know is that all of them hail from organized clubs based outside the city’s boundaries.

“But just to be clear, this is a road-cycling group, it’s not for people in ﬂip-ﬂops.”

That is, until now. Enter a new breed, Richmond’s very ﬁrst road-cycling club, called Steveston Velo.

Lee said she’s already got 30 members signed up, with the intention to close the membership intake on March 1.

Steveston Velo was created by long-time Richmond resident Erin Lee, a passionate cyclist who didn’t fancy driving out of town for tens of kilometres — with her bike attached to her car — to cycle in a club and then drive all the way home again. “Vancouver, Delta, everybody that rides in Richmond is based outside of Richmond,” Lee told the Richmond News. “A lot of them come here because of the ﬂat surfaces, especially in the winter, to ride the ‘Richmond Loop,’ which is around 40 kilometres. “It’s been in the works for the last couple of years,

Erin Lee (front) with a few of the founding members of Steveston Velo, which just launched in Richmond. Valerie Leung photo but last December was when the paperwork ﬁnally got done.” Steveston Velo went public last week, inviting people to sign up for the $150 annual membership, for which you will get a club jersey and the opportunity to ride twice a week, on Thursday evenings and Saturday

She said the plan is to hit the road Thursday nights around 6/6:30 p.m. and Saturday mornings for a longer ride. There will likely be around four different levels of riding, with some members able to clock up 60 kilometres in an evening, and up to 100 on the longer Saturday rides. For more information on the new club and for membership details, go to Facebook and search for “Steveston Velo.”

Richmond resident, former FIFA referee passes away, age 83 Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

One of B.C.’s most respected soccer referees has died, age 83. Richmond resident Bob Allen, according to his wife, Linda, passed away peacefully at Richmond Hospital on Jan. 10 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. In Allen’s obituary, Linda wrote that her husband will now be “striding into the sunset to officiate all the soccer games he wants.” Being a very private man, Linda said that Allen requested no flowers or a service, urging people to “live the best life they can.” The Richmond News shone the light on former top flight ref Allen about 18 months ago, in late 2020, when he honoured for

his more than 70 years of dedication to the sport by being inducted into the Soccer Hall of Fame of British Columbia.

“It’s a sport. People should enjoy themselves. I think they forget that sometimes and take it too far.”

FIFA-accredited Allen ofﬁciated at the very pinnacle of the North American game, refereeing or assisting in the NASL from 1977 to 1984, at various Concacaf/FIFA tournaments — including the 1987 FIFA Under 16 World Cup — the 1983 opening match at BC Place and the 1986 Canada vs England match.

Allen was born in Vancouver in 1938 and played youth soccer for Renfrew United in the Vancouver Sunday School League, moving up to the Vancouver and District Youth League.

Allen was also known locally as being an early recruit to refereeing women’s soccer in 1979 and as BC Soccer Director for 10 years to 1997. Asked in 2020 by the News how he felt about the accolade, Allen, in typical modest fashion, said it was “nice to be recognized.” “It makes you think that you must have done a good job.

Bob Allen (centre) refereeing the Canada vs Paraguay game at B.C. Place. was a long time ago.” Allen said his secret to having had such a long and successful career in refereeing was “keeping your cool” under pressure. “Talking to people is important,” he added.

His V&D team had different sponsors/ names, but reached the Sun Tournament of Champions finals three times, winning in 1953 (the first Sun Tournament) and 1954. In 1956 his Van Tech HS team won the BC Schools championship. Allen moved up to adult soccer with Wallace Thistles for 1957-1959, then on to the Pacific Coast League, playing with Canadians for 196063 and then Vancouver Firefighters for 1964-1966.

Sixth-seed Wildcats clinch city title in overtime Whether at WORK, REST or PLAY -

Have a Happy Family Day.

The McMath Wildcats bantam boys basketball team is headed for South Fraser Championships next week, fresh from being crowned city champions. The boys were victorious 48-45 last week, winning the RSSAA Bantam Boys Basketball Championships over MacNeil.

The Wildcats came into the city championships having ﬁnished the regular season with a 5-5 record and were seeded sixth. However, the boys knocked off the fourth seed Palmer Secondary 50-40 on the Tuesday, before edging the No. 2 ranked Burnett Breakers 53-50 the next day to set up the showdown with the undefeated MacNeil Ravens. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with neither team being able to take a commanding hold of the game. MacNeil scored late on to force the game into overtime, where McMath, according to coach Nav Baydal, “was able to capitalize on its tenacious defensive play and score some clutch baskets of their own com-

MACAULAY, Hugh Locke August 8, 1959 - January 24, 2022 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our son, brother, uncle, father and friend, Hugh Locke Macaulay. He passed away from cancer peacefully, surrounded by family in Vancouver on January 24th, 2022. Hugh was born in 1959, and raised in Vancouver. He is the son of Alice and James Macaulay, and the eldest of 5 siblings. The Macaulays lived next door to their cousins, the Lockes, and Hugh enjoyed a close friendship with his cousins as well as his Uncle Charlie Locke. Hugh graduated from St. Georges School in Vancouver, and then graduated with a degree from Simon Fraser University. It was there that he met his partner Eve Edmonds, with whom he shared two beautiful children, Lachlan and Georgia Macaulay. The Edmonds became a second family to Hugh. Eve and Hugh moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta from 1986-89, where they both worked for the Medicine Hat News. They immersed themselves in prairie life, and many enduring friendships were made. Hugh worked as the editorial writer and as someone who could argue every side of an issue, it was a great fit.They then moved to Ottawa where they lived from 1989-99. There, Hugh worked on Parliament Hill as a writer for PC Caucus Services, and later for the Canada Council. Many fun days were spent skating on the Rideau Canal, cooking for friends, and spending time with his Aunt Elizabeth Morin (nee Locke). In 2000, the family moved back to Vancouver, and Hugh eventually made the Sunshine Coast his home. Hugh had spent his childhood summers at the family cottage in Roberts Creek, and it was always a spiritual home for him. He wrote an insightful column for the Coast Reporter about issues regarding mental health, Indigenous rights and environmental protection, challenging conventions and advocating compassion. Hugh also partnered with his dear friend Laurel Phillips to create Coast Community Consultants, a platform that designs and supports programs and services that help make communities stronger. Hugh was very engaged with the world. He enjoyed people, was great company, and had many friends over his lifetime. He had varied interests, and had a great capacity for the enjoyment of them. These included music and playing the guitar, science, reading, current events and listening to ham radio, cooking Indian food, taking photographs, riding his bike, and swimming in the ocean. He was deeply committed to his community, and anyone who had the opportunity to know him experienced his playfulness, humour, and intellectual curiosity. Hugh was also a loving father, always ready to help with homework, or take a walk to the store for ice cream regardless of the weather. When the weather brightens, the family will hold a gathering in Roberts Creek, BC to remember Hugh’s life. Hugh served as a board member and volunteer for the Arrowhead Clubhouse in Sechelt, BC which was a cause close to his heart. Donations in his honour may be made to the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society, specified for the Arrowhead Clubhouse.

HENDERSON, Donald Manson May 23, 1945 - February 13, 2022 Don passed away Sunday, February 13, 2022 at home with his family beside him. Don leaves behind him his wife of 52 years Ruth, daughter Kim (Todd), Sean (Michelle) grandchildren Nathan, Samantha, AJ, and Sophia, his sister June and families and many good friends. He is predeceased by his parents Rose and Al Henderson.

A resident of Richmond for 44 years Don was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and grew up in Charleswood. He graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Science (Civil Engineering) in 1967 and started his career with the Metropolitan Winnipeg Streets and Traffic Department. In 1970 Don returned to University to obtain his Master of Science Degree from Texas A&M University. “Gig’em Aggies.” While studying for his post graduate degree he also worked for the Texas Transportation Institute. In 1972 Don started to work for the Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton. Don became the Traffic Management Engineer for the City of Vancouver in 1977. In this position he was project manager for the first computer based signal system in the Province of BC. Don’s responsibility included several major development projects and safety improvements on major bridges. Don started his own company DMH Transportation and continued to work until he retired in 2015. Don loved his work as a transportation engineer. Don was an active member of ITE, (Institute of Traffic Engineers) for over 30 years. Don loved spending time with his family and that included many camping trips down south and across Canada, time spent in Vernon enjoying Okanagan Lake, as well as spending over 20 years at Beachwood Resort near Birch Bay. Time at Beachwood meant time for golfing, crabbing, looking after his fruit trees and socializing with family and friends. The past 12 years have been particularly memorable as that meant having the grandchildren spending time at Beachwood with us. Daily walks around the park with his Westies led to many visits with the neighbours. Don was a lifelong traveller starting when he was a child travelling across Canada with his parents on Air Canada. Don and Ruth enjoyed many trips including Australia, Africa, Taiwan, Turkey and Ireland. The most memorable was a trip to India with Sean, Michelle, Cynthia and Joseph. A very special thanks to Dr. C. Hau, Dr. I. Ahmed and Dr. McKenzie for the care they provided Don. A gathering will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Richmond Hospital Foundation or the Parkinson Society of BC. Don will be forever remembered and always loved.

Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.

BLACKWELL, Peter F. On February 10, 2022 Peter lost his short battle with cancer. Peter leaves behind his wife Joyce of 56 years; his daughter Lee (Lorn); and son Scott; 6 grandchildren and many dear friends in Richmond .There is no service by request.
