Last spring we published a story about an independent audit that looked at Richmond School District’s diversity and inclusion

School ofﬁcials can’t speak to the specif ics publicly fair enough. But I certainly hope they’re talking among themselves, and I trust they are because they already know they have much to talk about

The ﬁndings were sobering A concerning number of students “reported feeling mar ginalized, unsafe, unheard, and discrimi nated against,” states the report I commend the board for inviting this kind of hard look at itself the ﬁrst step in any kind of recovery program The next step is resources. In response to concerns about balancing budgets or staff shortages, just imagine she’s your 14 year old, because in a way she is She’s all of ours so are her perpetrators

perpetrators

So, it’s back to school I can’t say it’s the end of summer because I live with a weath er geek who would challenge me on that “It’s 25 degrees Celsius! How can you say it’s the end of summer? It’s not the end of summer You can’t say it’s the end of sum mer It’s certainly not the end of astronomi cal summer (although, he concedes, meteo rological summer ended Aug 31) ” Then I’m bombarded with weather stats and trick questions “Guess what our rainfall was in the last 60 days at YVR? ” It’s cruel. He knows I don’t do numbers, let alone rainfall measurements BTW, for other weather nerds out there, the answer, which he’s only too happy to provide, is 13 mm (the average is 73 mm) Hence, we ’ re sticking with “back to school ” But whatever we call it, this can be a nervy time of year There are the keener kids who just can’t wait to hit the books (at least I’ve heard about them) but many oth ers have a knot in their stomach I know the vast majority of teachers do what they can to create a warm and wel coming environment But I also know that school remains torture for some Right now, my thoughts go to one teen in particular Last week we ran a disturbing story about a 14 year old girl allegedly lured to Gar den City Park on the pretext of meeting a so called friend It appears to have been a set up What she met when she got to that seclud ed area at night was, to quote our reporter, “ a baying mob” apparently out for blood I’m sickened to think of how that excited anticipation of meeting a friend must have quickly turned to terror and humilation Thankfully, there were people in the vicin ity who heard her terrified screams and came to her aid But even while good Sa maritans formed a human shield to protect the girl, some in the swarm of teens tried to punch and pull her hair, according to police. Shortly after reporting on that disturbing incident, we were sent a video of what ap peared to be another teen swarming The sender thought it was also in Richmond, but police have confirmed it happened else where Still And then there was the particularly ugly video of a teen swarming in Surrey last May In that sad scenario, no good Samari tans came to help (BTW, I hope our Gar den City heroes get some kind of medal ) That said, I know these incidents are relatively rare and involve a tiny fraction of kids Of the approximately 10,000 sec ondary students in Richmond, maybe a dozen were involved in this Garden City incident But even if only a handful were directly involved, a huge number of kids starting school this week have heard about it, which in itself is chilling So how do we move forward? How, exactly, are students in general and this 14 year old victim in particular, supposed to go back to the classroom with a sense of confidence? Is she going to the same school as some of her tormentors? Will they be in some of the same classes?

Richmond a safe place: Mayor Moral rights don’t trump legal rights

Joyce Argieri RICHMOND Dear Editor, Richmond has traditionally been a strong, culturally rich and diverse community Safe and resilient, it is a place where people can walk and openly gather without fear of random ag gression Sadly, a few disappoint ing events over the past few weeks have caused us to question this as the actions of a few tarnish our reputa tion. Teen swarmings, road rage incidents as well as homo phobic or racist attacks are totally unacceptable Such actions will not be tolerated Overall, Richmond City Council has demonstrated its commitment to end such behaviour Hiring more RCMP ofﬁ cers, taking a united stand against racism, partnering in initiatives such as the “Hate Has No Place” cam paign, supporting the events of Pride Week, and adopt ing Canada’s ﬁrst Cultural Harmony Plan are only a few examples of Council actions which make our city more welcoming City Council will continue to take appropriate action We encourage everyone to join us to eliminate such rep rehensible behaviour.

Canada is a parliamentary democracy: its system of government holds that the law is the supreme authority Laws govern Canadians, not perceived justice for protesters’ claim to moral rights Civil dis obedience has limitations and moral rights do not exceed legal rights in Canada If Jerome Dickey is our new candidate for council, I wish him luck However, he will have to parse his climate action views if serving the public Don Flintoff RICHMOND

I am sure lots of people have noticed it but it’s still there! Are we now going to have the same issues as other cities in regards to tent cities?

Email letters to Editor@Richmond-News.com

Come on, Mr Brodie, time to clear it now or I might go camping, too. But I would rather keep walking my dog and feel safe Richmond has become a total disaster with the drug attacks, as I witness this three or four times a day at work. Time to clean up Richmond, Mr Brodie. Give people a safe place to live so we can all be safe.

Feeling uneasy over tent at school LETTERS

Dear Editor, I often walk my dog down No 1 Road by Westminster Highway Last week, because of my dog’s curiosity, I noticed that there was a tent set up in the schoolyard, and after one week, it was still there. Is this normal now? Can we all go and pitch a tent? My concern is why hasn’t anything been done about it? School starts next week, does it not?

Malcolm Brodie Mayor RICHMOND Dear Editor, Re: “Don’t be sidetracked by protesters’ funding,” Letters, Aug. 28. The issues being discussed are law, justice, civil disobedience and public safety; not funding However, if funding contributes to a risk to pub lic safety then it too becomes an issue These road blockades are not just simple public inconve niences. This is about the risk of death because an ambulance had to take a longer route to arrive at an emergency If a death was to occur, should the group responsible for the road blockade be held ac countable under the law? Is this acceptable to you?

Once there, she was allegedly confronted by at least 10 youths and, when she at tempted to leave the area, she was pursued by the group

Richmond RCMP has ruled out a second alleged teen swarming in the city, saying that the video of the incident did not take place locally

Ofﬁcers were called to the park just be fore 9 p m on Thursday, Aug 18 after re ceiving a report of an incident involving at least 10 youths.

However, after the video was presented to the RCMP on Friday, it was determined lat er that day as being recorded elsewhere

According to media reports, a woman in the area, along with some family mem bers and friends, came to the girl’s aid and shielded her from the group, which had fol lowed her into the Garden City Dog Park

The RCMP said it has called in its Youth Section to assist with the investigation, which is “active and ongoing witnesses are asked to contact Rich mond RCMP at 604 278 1212 and quote ﬁle number 2022 22277

Prior to police arriving, the swarm dis persed, however, ﬁve youths allegedly involved were arrested All ﬁve were re leased to the custody of their guardians

The News reported earlier this week how police launched an investigation into alle gations of an assault of a 14 year old girl, who was lured to Garden City Park by so called friends.

The disturbing footage surfaced just a few days after the father of a 14 year old swarming victim at Garden City Park two weeks ago went public with his condemna tion of that attack

A man has been sentenced to six months in jail and 12 months of probation for spraying racist graffiti onto a poster outside a Richmond optical retailer in 2021 Chao Wang, who was in custody, ap peared in person with a Mandarin inter preter before the Richmond Provincial Court on Wednesday to receive his sentence Richmond provincial court Judge Bonnie Craig noted that the language in Wang’s graffiti was “disgusting,” and that he also drew a swastika and what appeared to be a rope or a belt around the neck of a male model, which she said was “indicative of lynching ” Craig considered pre sentence reports from Wang’s previous convictions, which indicated “prevalent” racist attitudes to wards South Asian and Black communities She also took into account Wang’s history of related convictions, which included de facing a poster depicting an African wom an as well as assaulting an older black woman on a Vancouver bus by punching her in the face multiple times Craig stated that Wang needed to be “specifically deterred” as he had commit ted similar offences in the past and “hasn’t learned from the sentences ” “My sentence must make it very clear to him that if he continues to offend in this manner, his jail sentences will simply get higher and higher and higher ” While dispensing the sentence, Craig ex pressed that it was “unfortunate” Wang did not seem to understand the impact of his racist beliefs and actions “Mr Wang is also a member of a minority community that, particularly in the past two years, has suffered from racial discrimina tion,” she said “I would have hoped that Mr Wang would understand how demeaning and hurtful comments in the nature he wrote on the poster could be against the members of the community and the Black community in this situation ” Wang’s sentence also includes conditions to not possess any paint, dye or spray paint cans outside his residence and to attend any counselling or education programs as directed by his probation officer Referencing case law, Craig pointed out that while the court must express “society’s abhorrence of this conduct,” it should take a “balanced approach” and not “impose punishment for the beliefs and opinions ” Wang’s continuous offences and “bizarre behaviour” also led the court to discuss his mental health and while he was not aware of any concerns, Wang acknowledged that he would like mental health assistance Craig hopes that by participating in coun selling, “Mr Wang will gain some insight into the harmful consequences of his behav iour ”

One Richmond trustee candidate would like to revisit the school district’s Sexual Ori entation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy and work done by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) working group Dean Billings, who has ﬁled his nomina tion papers as a candidate for the Rich mond Board of Education, said the SOGI policy should promote “self acceptance and anti bullying without teaching gender afﬁrming pseudoscience ”

This is a negative message, according to Billings Billings has an MBA and has worked as a software project manager and business analyst

Voting against the policy was Jonathan Ho, who said more time was needed for consultation Then trustee Alice Wong, who is running in this election under the Rich mond Community Coalition, told media after the vote that she opposed SOGI but voted in favour “by mistake ”

As for the DEI recommendations, which the board of education approved this past spring, Billings thinks they should focus on “low status males at risk of suicide, drug addiction, and political extremism ” Billings describes “low status males” as those at risk of becoming NEET “Not (in) education, employment or training” or incels (involuntarily celibate).

PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the City of Richmond intends to consider adopting Road Closure and Removal of Road Dedication Bylaw 9169 at the Council Meeting on September 12, 2022 at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers. The purpose of Bylaw 9169 is to authorize that the lands shown outlined in bold on the sketch plan below, approximately 2,081.1 square meters located adjacent to 13760 Steveston Highway, be stopped up, cease to be public road and the road dedication removed. The Road Closure and Removal of Road Dedication Bylaw 9169 and the accompanying plan may be inspected on the City Website at https://www.richmond.ca.

To “modernize” the DEI recommenda tions, Billings said “aggressive anti rac ism content and philosophy” should be removed from learning materials, and elementary level “anti racism content must provide positive messages for any reader ” For example, the book Not My Idea, apparently available at four Richmond el ementary school, talks about systemic rac ism and “whiteness” the concept of privi lege afforded to white people versus biases towards people of colour

The SOGI policy was passed in a 6 1 vote by the Richmond Board of Education in 2018 after several raucous public meetings where people spoke both for and against Support for the policy was informed by research that shows those with gender dys phoria (not identifying with the sex they were born with) who aren’t supported have higher rates of suicide and depression

The City of Richmond is asking users of a popular dog park if they want more trees planted

The city is soliciting feedback on tree planting at the No 3 Road Dog Park, close to the intersection with Dyke Road on the south arm of the Fraser River

Starting

The dike, said the city, was recently upgraded at the location, which brought upgrades to the park including over 100 trees planted, improved seating areas and a dog obstacle course feature The city said it has received feedback that more trees may be desired to replace the ones removed during the upgrade to offer more shade

“I felt sick and sad, and there it was washed up And to see it lay there day after day It’s not a good thing for kids to see, ” she said At times, crows were also spotted picking at the corpse Christensen reported it to the city but did not hear back “It was not taken very seri ously at least, that’s how I felt,” she said City spokesperson Clay Ad ams told the News that these occurances don’t happen of ten, but when they do it’s best to let nature take its course “Shifting tides often remove them into the water as part of nature’s cycle before they are even noticed,” he said Adams noted that the carcass does not necessarily constitute a risk to people or animals de spite the smell, and suggested that pet owners keep their dogs away from the carcass Vikki Hui/ Richmond News

But cities can make charging easier In Richmond, the city now oper ates 51 public charging stations, with another seven set to open this year

An aircraft mechanic, Tristan Martin Jones moved with his wife to Steveston the same year Rich mond passed its bylaw amend ment requiring new buildings pro vide charging infrastructure At the time, buying an EV was a distant but pervasive thought Both worked at Vancouver Inter national Airport and a big reason they bought into the 40 year old complex was so they could cycle to work For a couple of years, bikes were all they needed But Martin Jones couldn’t get the idea of an EV out of his head He joined the strata board just before the pandemic hit At the time, only one other resident was interested in getting an electric vehicle Still, at every strategy meeting, he would bring up the idea of in stalling a charging station Martin Jones said some on coun cil didn’t believe the technology would take hold; some were wor ried about the cost

Vehicle ownership is outpac ing population growth in dozens of communities across B C , but Richmond seems to be an outlier with no new recent growth in the number of cars and early adop tion of EV infrastructure Between 2016 and 2021, the population of Richmond climbed by 11,628 Yet over that pe riod, the number of cars regis tered within its borders remained largely unchanged by the end of 2021, which Alex Bigazzi, head of UBC’s Research on Active Transportation Lab, called an “im pressive” feat Both Bigazzi and UBC econom ics professor Werner Antweiler say Richmond has done a good job concentrating new housing in dense, transit oriented apartments along the Canada Line in the lead up to the 2010 Olympics Most of those residents are younger people who have made the decision not to own a car, said Antweiler, pointing to census data And not only has car ownership levelled off, the City of Richmond was also an early backer of elec tric vehicles In 2017, it was the ﬁrst jurisdiction in North America to require that all resident park ing stalls in new buildings have the electric infrastructure to install charging stations The idea, said the city’s direc tor of public works operations Suzanne Bycraft, is to get people charging at home “We were the ﬁrst jurisdiction to do that,” she said No amount of city planning will raise the wealth of all residents so they can afford an electric ve hicle No municipality can alter its geography to shorten the dis tances to other cities

“Once I could talk to people with facts and say, you know, ‘Here’s how much it’s going to cost Here’s how it’s going to work Here’s how the apps work,’ it started to help make it seem kind of more mundane ”

When the strata ﬁnally had an in person AGM in the spring of 2022, it had the largest atten dance in years In the end, they voted in favour of installing two Level 2 char gers at the Richmond townhouse complex at a cost of roughly $14,000, though that price will drop $5,000 after BC Hydro re bates are applied They’re now waiting to schedule a date to have them installed “If I can charge overnight, once a week, then two chargers should give us roughly between 10 and 15 vehicles,” said Martin Jones So far, Martin Jones said at least three people have put down de posits on EVs since the chargers got approved And while it’s hard to say how fast that number will climb, the age of the building will eventually put a limit on how much the strata can help adapt its residents to a new age of mobility The cables they are planning to run underground should allow them to serve 25 to 30 vehicles more But the longer the distance, the more expensive the installa tion “Logistically, with our building being the age it is, it will be very difﬁcult to get chargers in for ev erybody without it being really expensive,” he said Until a charger arrives in his complex, Martin Jones says the downside to owning an EV is he no longer rides his bike any where “Now, I do feel obligated to take the car sometimes because I have to charge it,” he said “As fun as this is to drive, the better option is just not having a car at all ” Richmond has also taken the lead in sharing its successes and challenges with other cities Since 2017, it has commis sioned a number of guides to help local governments scale up charg ing infrastructure in residential and shared parking areas

But one of the biggest chal lenges is old strata complexes, where space and electric capac ity are often in short supply One Steveston resident went through the process and will soon have an EV charger in his 40 year old complex ‘Demystifying the technology’

The young father became ob sessed He would do massive amounts of research to figure out the logistics Answer questions Educate Years went by For Martin Jones, the rebates BC Hydro was offer ing were too good to pass up He kept pushing “We had one member on coun cil who said, ‘Why should we put in chargers if nobody owns an EV?’” Martin Jones said So in October 2021, he went to a Richmond auto lot and picked up the last Hyundai Kona a demo It was good timing Martin Jones’s had just been moved up to a desk job in Bound ary Bay at the aircraft company ’ s new office They needed a new car Now, everyday activities come with a charge, a little top up at a time when they take their two year old daughter to the library, swimming pool or playground, or climb at the Richmond Olympic Oval Meanwhile, people at the strata started to look Martin Jones kept talking By “demystifying the technol ogy, ” Martin Jones said he was able to help others understand its benefits

Fewer cars, more EV charging

Tristan MartinJones said charg ing his EV requires a different mindset instead of ﬁlling up an empty tank, he’s always just topping off the battery, a little at a time Richmond was an early adopter of requiring EV infrastructure in new buildings

“I make work knowing that where the at tention that I put into it, what motivates me to make it, might not ever fully, completely translate And I kind of don’t think art al ways should do that anyway, ” she said From Richmond, for Richmond That Other Hunger is truly an installation created speciﬁcally for Richmond “Richmond’s kind of special to me, ” said Brown “I grew up in Richmond, and I used to swim at Minoru Pool next door to where this exhibition is So for me, It’s just really wonderful and exciting to get to be back in this area ” While distilling her research into the ex hibition, Brown was especially inspired by RAG’s architecture “If you look at the ﬂoorplan of the Rich mond Art Gallery it has this almost like from a bird’s eye view an interest ing layout that reminds me of a vision dia gram, ” she explained And what does Brown, an expert in holes of all sorts, think is the answer to the straw question?

By using holes as a point of departure, Brown hopes to explore human desire, the relativity of time and our place in the gal axy “I tend to have an interest in liminal spac es, in between states, that kind of thing And when I started to try and think of what can represent that, I just started thinking about holes,” she explained One hole in particular the portable hole from Loo ney Tunes has intrigued Brown since her child hood “I always was so ex cited by this idea that you could pick up a hole, like it would be kind of solid in cer tain contexts, and then slapped onto the side of a build ing, and you could go through it,” she said As soon as Brown started her research in 2019, she began seeing holes everywhere a “hole verdose,” if you will and her inspirations expanded to black holes and even camera apertures She was particu larly intrigued by the ﬁrst image of a black hole, which was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope “Camera technology is really based on apertures, which are a kind of hole as well So we were using a hole to record a hole, and that just felt really thrilling as an idea,” she explained But rest assured, as the exhibition is not intended to be a lecture on the inﬁnite pos sibilities of holes Rather, Brown is sharing her enthusiasm about the subject through an immersive experience where one can make their own connections

How many holes are there in a straw? You might ﬁnd a different answer to this contro versial question in artist Vanessa Brown’s upcoming exhibition at the Richmond Art Gallery (RAG)

“I think that, conceptually, I just sort of thought of some things as empty and some things as full, but I think of everything as kind of full now So I’m like, maybe there’s no hole [in a straw] ” Her ﬁnal verdict? “A straw has no hole It’s just two volumes ” That Other Hunger runs from Sept 9 to Nov 6 with a free opening reception on Sept 10 from 2 to 5 p m and a free in person tour led by Brown on Sept 17 at 2 p m Onsite tours in English and Chinese will also take place during Culture Days, Sept 24 to 25 Brown will host an artist salon on Sept 28 More information can be found at richmondartgallery org
