Adoption offers flood in for dogs 38 pooches dumped overnight at shelter BY ALAN CAMPBELL
acampbell@richmond-news.com
Donations and offers of new homes have been flooding into Richmond’s animal shelter after 38 dogs were dropped off anonymously in cages in the dead of night. And if people follow through on their gestures to give the dogs new homes, the Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) will have no problem adopting out all the dogs, said City of Richmond spokesman Ted Townsend. The surprise doorstep delivery, sometime overnight Thursday into Friday, will likely cost the shelter in the region of $15,000. However, RAPS’ executive director, Carol Reichert, was just happy the owner chose to hand them over in decent health. Recalling a frantic phone call Friday morning from the first staff member on the scene, Reichert
feared the worst for the state of the the small dogs — mostly terrier, Yorkie and Chihuahua crosses. “She was shrieking so loud I couldn’t make out what she was saying,” said Reichert of the staff For videos and member’s disphotos covery of the dogs in about a dozen large cages at the shelter on No. 5 Road in south Richmond. “They are so nice, very socialized. Whoever dropped them off cared for them.” Reichert isn’t sure what kind of environment the dogs, just two of which are pups, have come from. What she is sure of is the added financial strain on the shelter from having to vaccinate, spay, neuter and then board the dogs until they’re cleared for adoption. see Dogs page 4 PHOTO SUBMITTED BY RAPS

Richmond RCMP have arrested a 26-year-old driver and impounded his car after a cyclist was found dead by the side of the road. In the early hours of Monday, police were called to the 4400 block of No. 5 Road after residents reported finding a cyclist struck. The 64-year-old Richmond man was found on the sidewalk by residents — north of Highway 91, near McNeely Drive — but attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. Police then discovered a license plate at the scene and were able to track down the alleged driver and vehicle involved.

Around 350 workers at YVR were at their stations over the long weekend after their union and airport management struck a lastditch deal. As the midnight strike deadline fast approached Thursday, weary, but happy, union leaders — representing mainly emergency response, customer care, runway maintenance and passenger loading operations workers — and management emerged with 90 minutes to spare. Although neither party can get into the specifics of the deal, until union members and YVR board have reviewed and ratified it, both sides said Friday morning they were delighted with the outcome. “We’ve been hard at it, 13 hours on Wednesday and all day and night Thursday,” said Dave Clark, regional vice-president of the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees. Clark said it was kind of hit and miss yesterday whether a deal would be reached and it wasn’t until 9 p.m. Thursday that he was confident.
“It’s a tentative four-year deal, which is longer than the three years previously on the table, and we’re very happy,” Clark added. “It will now be put to our membership in mid-September and they will have the final say.” The unions had issued a 72-hour strike notice on Tuesday, with the main issue being concessions sought by the airport, particularly around wages for trades people and procedures for contracting out work. Anne Murray, YVR’s vice-president of community and environmental affairs, paid tribute to the negotiating teams on both sides for coming to a “fair and equitable” agreement. “We’re really pleased with the outcome,” said Murray, who added that, although being 90 minutes from strike action, negotiations had been going on since April. “We’d been looking for the right agreement that works for everybody. The strike has been averted and we’re good to go for the Labour Day long weekend.” Murray said she’s especially pleased for the employees and the passengers, many of whom were worried about the effect of strike action over the long weekend.

different circumstances and I don’t see everyone making a huge deal about it.” A spokesperson for Richmond Centre said the centre is looking into the matter and ways to prevent similar incidents happening again. “Our experience is that this type of behaviour isn’t the societal norm,” read the mall’s statement. “Unfortunately this incident occurred so quickly that our team was only alerted after it took place.” In the meantime, however, the image continues to be mocked on social media. Queenie Choo, CEO of SUCCESS, a social services agency focused on immigrant settlement in B.C., said she doesn’t believe urinating in public is a cultural norm in mainland China. “When you go out to China and you ask people on the street if it’s acceptable to urinate in a garbage bin, nine out of 10 people will say it’s not a cultural thing,” she said. Choo pointed out that in many areas in Vancouver, transient people who are not Asian also urinate in public but it doesn’t result in the same public outrage. “People are drawing conclusions and I think that we’ve got to understand the situation behind it,” she said. “There is always a story behind what we have seen in the picture.” Read more at www.theprovince.com.

A video of a boy urinating in a garbage bin in Richmond Centre has sparked debate on social media.
OWAST
OPEN HOUSE

A photo that has gone viral online of a young boy urinating into a garbage bin at Richmond Centre shopping mall, while a woman holds him, is sparking a fierce debate on social media websites over Chinese cultural norms and public etiquette. The image, which appears to show a woman helping a child stand on the ledge of a garbage bin with his pants around his knees while he urinates, is making the rounds on Twitter and Reddit. “#why would you let your child pee in the mall bins? They have toilets,” wrote Twitter user DonMunnu. Both the woman and child appear to be Asian, and the image has sparked a slew of racist comments online. The image also drew responses from some people, who identified themselves as being Chinese, writing that the woman and child were likely from mainland China, where they said urinating or defecating in public is acceptable behaviour. Since the photo went viral, one person has come forward claiming the woman Send us is their aunt and the young your feedback boy their cousin, and that the incident has nothing to do with cultural norms. “It’s amazing how people come to conclusions without knowing the full story,” the individual wrote in an anonymous post on Reddit, who was using a temporary “throwaway” account to “protect their identities.” “I think it’s a shame that people put race and culture as the main reason for peoples’ actions,” the post continued. The author wrote their aunt noticed her son had started to wet his pants without warning. The bathroom was too far away to prevent a bigger mess, and to avoid having him soaked in urine, she had no option but to use a garbage bin. “After seeing this picture go viral with top comments being about race, I’m realizing first-hand how discussions on Reddit can sound so convincing yet can be so damaging to people,” the author wrote. “Many of us have peed in public due to

Give our kids a brake
I
f you don’t have any school-aged children, you should be thinking carefully about this week — especially if you’re planning to drive anywhere. Parents with kids who are returning to school today — or going off to class for the first time — have been thinking about the start of the new school year for a while. They’ve been amassing a fortune in school clothes and supplies, and figuring out how their youngsters will get to school and back home again...safely. Lots of parents will opt to drive their children to school, and that will mean a huge increase in local traffic around schools every weekday morning, and again in the afternoons. Lots of kids will be walking to school, creating a mass of pedestrian traffic excited about the return to school, reconnecting with friends and filled with all sorts of thoughts and ideas to distract them from the business of safely negotiating the route to school. Traffic congestion has a way of building frustration and inciting rash behaviour in drivers who suddenly realize they are going to be late for work or appointments. In an environment of traffic congested by parents trying to relearn the routine of getting their youngsters to the school’s front door, frustrated commuters finding their usual route to work clogged, and masses of kids bubbling with excitement, one bad decision can wreak havoc on many lives. If you’re driving anywhere this week, remember that, in any altercation between your vehicle and a child, the child will lose — but so will you, regardless of who’s at fault. Think about leaving for work early. And drive at a speed that allows you time to think.
CHOICE WORDS
Unions benefit all workers The Editor, “Labouring through the ages,” News, Aug. 30. In my 45 years of business, I was never once in a union, but every company I worked for had a union. Whenever the union reached a settlement on a new contract, whether it was pay, working conditions or benefits, we non-negotiated employees were immediately granted the same conditions. Because the unions were IWA, CPU or CPPW (forest industry unions), the contracts were the best in North America. Consequently, everybody benefited, as disposable income kept on circulating around and around. These are the reasons the U.S. and Canada had by far the best standard of living anywhere in the world, but since then, major corporations have taken to exporting the very good paying jobs and thereby eliminating the middle class, replacing them with low- or minimum-paying jobs. There are many “prophets of doom” who love to predict the end of civilization whenever the minimum wage is raised by 25 or 50 cents per hour, but neglect to mention a country of low earners has very little disposable income and therefore small- to medium-size businesses struggle continually to survive. Anybody who thinks unions are a problem should read the history books about the Industrial Revolution and they will have a sober second thought. There were times when I shook my head at the posturing of some union leaders, but that was all it was, posturing, until the serious negotiations were to begin. Alan Halliday Richmond

CUPE in good position for negotiations The new school year begins this week, and it’s been a while since the year has kicked off with so much uncertainty in the education system. Both public sector unions begin work without contracts, but this time it is the support staff (largely represented by CUPE) that is threatening to throw a wrench into the system. Usually, the B.C. Teachers Federation can be counted on to lead the offensive against a government, but it has shifted gears somewhat and has let CUPE take centre stage. CUPE’s 27,000 members haven’t had a raise in four years and they’re looking at a two per cent hike for each of the two years of a proposed contract (the first year is already over). The government’s position is that’s fine, as long as the money to pay for the wage increases can be found within existing school board budgets. And so a game of chicken between the provincial government and school boards is about to be begin, with CUPE watching with great interest and being in the odd position of actually hoping the government position will prevail. School boards have been asked by the government to come up with “savings plans” that will pay for any costs resulting from a CUPE contract. The government insists some boards have done just that, yet haven’t identified which
Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE
ones. School trustees will no doubt complain about the unfairness of it all, but I’m sure Education Minister Peter Fassbender has been made aware that every year a number of school boards say it is flat out impossible to balance their budgets and then what do you know? They table a balanced budget (albeit with some cuts in some places). Of course, school trustees can make a fair case that the system is inadequately funded, since every year they grapple with escalating cost pressures such as MSP premiums, inflation, pension adjustments etc. But since they manage to balance their budgets, don’t be surprised if the government says a wage increase is simply one more cost pressure that has to be dealt with. Meanwhile, CUPE has launched a television ad campaign aimed at wooing public support for their cause. Given that it has been the BCTF that has been the main foil of the government for years and is far more associated with disruptions in the school system than support staff, I suspect CUPE may have a chance of winning some support. One factor that may
work in CUPE’s favour is just what kind of jobs is covered under the term “support staff.” Almost half of CUPE’s membership is “education assistants” who for the most part work with children with special needs. And those education assistants, who perform duties that no doubt are strongly supported by the public, only work from “bell to bell”, which translates to about 25 hours a week. Many need a second job to make a decent living. It will be hard for either the government or school boards to make the case such employees aren’t worth a small wage increase. Of course, any public support CUPE gains can be quickly thrown away with a picket line around a school for a few days. That’s why I think the union will be more creative and less disruptive with their tactics. And that’s why I’ll be surprised if CUPE doesn’t get some kind of wage hike at the end of the day. Once a few school boards file those savings plans that create the ability to fund a wage hike, pressure will build on other boards to follow suit. If they don’t, an unusual scenario could develop: because CUPE has a separate collective agreement with each school district, it’s possible some of its members would get wage hikes in some districts, but not in others. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Competition needs to be fair The Editor, Re: “Wireless wave of action,” Editorial, Aug. 30. There is more to the story than just the bare bones that you support in your editorial of Aug. 30. A NANOS survey showed that 81 per cent of Canadians are not in favour of the government’s intention to allow a large foreign company to enter the Canadian market at a “fire sale” price. In your editorial, you refer to the “Big Three” (Telus, Bell and Rogers), but fail to mention that in several Canadian markets there is a fourth or fifth company providing quality service to customers. For instance, Eastlink is a well-run Nova Scotia-based company that has service in the Lower Mainland region of this province. According to the federal government, it wants more competition in the industry and sees the entrance of a foreign giant as the way to achieve that. Competition is a boon to consumers if the competition is fair competition. An example might be that your local competitor cut all its advertising rates to undercut yours and in order for you to compete, you had to do likewise. The paper that stood at the end of the day would be the one with the deeper pockets while the other would
fail and all workers would be out of a job. The result of that would be that with no competition, rates rise and consumers suffer. Moreover, without a competitor, the quality of the newspaper might drop to a low point of being nothing more than a toss-away organ. Is that what you want to happen in the Canadian telecom industry? It is what might well happen if the American giant is allowed to enter the Canadian market unfairly by buying up one or two small Canadian companies and thus gaining entry into the auction with two blocks versus one for the Canadians and without having to pay for the infrastructure that the Canadian companies built. Moreover, the Canadian companies will not be permitted to bid for the bandwidth. Where is the fair competition in that? Nowhere but in Ottawa’s blinkered view, is it an open field. Yes, and cows jump over the moon. The so-called “Big Three” are not opposed to fair competition, but not a skewed one as Ottawa proposes. Bob Orrick Richmond
Musical Ride didn’t disappoint
The Editor, Last Wednesday, I had the honour to be present for the first RCMP Musical Ride to be held in Richmond. I was not alone. It looked as if half of Richmond was at Twin Oaks for the presentation. My family and I came with high expectations and we were not disappointed, the riders were excellent and the horses were beautiful. The Musical Ride is a national treasure and I feel sorry for those who were not able to attend the event.
The Richmond detachment contributed by adding a small Sunset Ceremony to the event, I was filled with pride as I watched the members carry out the flag drills with great respect. I thought of just how much that flag has meant to people in Canada and around the world. It was a wonderful evening and a great event for Richmond. Scott Stewart Richmond
Salmon Row delivers stellar performance The Editor, I had the genuine pleasure of seeing the local production of Salmon Row last week. This presentation by Mortal Coil, in cooperation with the Gateway Theatre was a gem that Richmond should be proud of. The enthusiasm of the cast and the accuracy of the story were remarkable. Asking the audience to move between locations was quite a novelty. Thankfully, the weather smiled on the outdoors venue at Britannia Shipyards. Sharon Renneberg Richmond
RCCS builds bridges between cultures The Editor, Richmond Chinese Community Society (RCCS) must be commended for putting on its Seniors Lunch Party last month. The theme of the party, attended by close to 500
people, was aptly named: A Long and Healthy Life. The RCCS had two major objectives for this lunch: to help ChineseCanadians integrate into the mainstream and to introduce Chinese culture to the
mainstream society. These are both noble and timely objectives. The audience reflected people of different backgrounds and cultures. Balwant Sanghera Richmond See Page 20 for photos

Pair bring Parkinson Superwalk home BY GRAEME WOOD Special to the News
The Parkinson Superwalk — Canada’s largest fundraising event for the incurable degenerative disease — will come to Richmond on Sep. 9 at Minoru Park, thanks in large part to a selfless, dedicated Richmond couple who are facing the fight of their lives without backing down. Fifty years ago, Joe and Nancy Denofreo set eyes on each other for the first time in Toronto. Young, ambitious and mindful of social issues, the two met while working at a residential treatment centre for troubled youth. They married in 1968, and moved to Richmond in 1973 where they adopted and raised three children. Nancy worked as a social worker and Joe, a union representative. Fast forward to 2007 and the two would learn that Joe has Parkinson’s disease, an insidious neurological disease that affects 11,000 British Columbians and more than 100,000 Canadians. It often comes on late in one’s life, typically after age 50. “I didn’t know anything about the disease when I was diagnosed,” said Joe. “The doctor said it would only To link to the get worse. …Of website course, all those kinds of fears and anxieties ran through my head. But thanks to Nancy, she’s done a lot of research and educated me.” Nancy describes Parkinson’s as a disease with many faces. As one saying goes, she said, “once you’ve seen one person with Parkinson’s, you’ve seen one person with Parkinson’s.” Parkinson’s takes away motor skills and, for many, it will take away their minds in later stages of the disease as dementia and mood disorders develop. Joe had noticed a tremor develop years prior to the diagnosis. He now has difficulty walking and his voice is departing him. For all the pain it has caused him, Joe maintains a sense of humour, quipping that his slow movement is simply “the Parkinson’s shuffle.” Erin Cebula, Global BC

Special to the News
Labour Day, which typically heralds the (unofficial) end of summer, was early this year. That means even sooner than usual, we made the annual transition from laid-back, lowpressure August to nose-to-the-grindstone September. Fortunately, it’s possible to cushion that jolting re-entry to our professional reality. Here are a few examples of how you can make your changeover as positive as possible. 1. Ease into it — This week, start thinking about the kinds of tasks you will be working on. What types of meetings will take place? The idea is to get motivated, even excited. 2. Set Some Tentative Goals — Why not take it one step further and actually identify some things you’d like to get done? Create an “aspiration list” of things you want to accomplish during the last four months of the year. How can you inspire and coach your coworkers be more productive? 3. Ask yourself, “What’s so terrible about work, anyway?” — Vacation and summertime activities are certainly fun. But so are creative challenges, stimulating projects, positive collaboration with colleagues, and meaningful achievements. So why not choose to embrace what lies ahead? 4. Cross your Ts — Is your contact list clean and up to date? Do you have the necessary apps installed on your smartphone, tablet and/or computer? Make sure you have everything you need to start the month efficiently and effectively. 5. Get in touch with your colleagues — Often, we aren’t in regular contact with our team or coworkers during the summer months. So why not reach out and re-establish contact with important co-workers before you get back to the office? Make a quick call or shoot them a brief email. Mitchell Rigie and Keith Harmeyer are the authors of SmartStorming: The Game-Changing Process for Generating Bigger, Better Ideas (www.smartstorming.com).

Community Fitbit: A nag people in offices need Continued from page 14 move around. You’d be surprised what even a walk around the block accomplishes. The Fitbit can be nag but it’s nagging those of us confined in offices need. It has weaknesses. It only works if you remember to wear it. It will not record cycling, swimming or workouts at the gym. And while small is beautiful, it’s easily lost. (The Fitbit wristband model, known as the Flex, is less likely to be lost, as long as you don’t mind announcing to the world that you’re a data-hungry jock.) There are other activity trackers on the market and some smartphones, notably Samsung’s steroidal Galaxy S4, include built-in pedometers that take advantage of the fact that many people have their phones with them around the clock. With apps like the excellent Runtastic, smartphones will also record activities like cycling. Tracking exercise during the day is easy, but diet is another matter. Some months back an app called My Fitness Pal went viral through my social circle.
eat during the day and My Fitness Pal spits out a running tally of calories and detailed nutrition information for carbs, fat, protein, sodium and sugar. Most items you enter can be quickly matched to its user-built database of different kinds of food and meals, and when used with a smartphone can scan bar codes on food packages to give you an instant readout of what you’re consuming. If you try it, you will be fanatical and empowered and you’ll know what you’re eating down to the gram. But then one day, after about a month of rigorous scanning, entering data and analyzing readouts, you’ll realize my Lord, this is a lot of work for basically eating the way Mom told you to. Moderation in all things, said the Greeks and moms everywhere, and that truism applies to health and fitness apps, too. For more information, visit www. fitbit.com/one, www.runtastic.com or www.myfitnesspal.com. Barry Link is the editor of the Vancouver Courier.

Clarke gets picked for Francophone Games
R I C H M O N D
N E W S
The Richmond News September 4, 2013 A19
Caleb Clarke is wearing Canadian colours this week at the Francophone Games in Nice, France. The 20-year-old Richmond Youth Soccer product is one of three members of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC organization on the Canadian team that will face Cameroon, France, Rwanda and Congo in group play. The top two teams will adavance to the semi-finals. Clarke earned his first call-up to the Canadian national team program in December 2011 for a 10-day camp with Canada’s U18 side. Since then, he has been a fixture with the Canadian men’s U20 national team. Earlier this year, he appeared in all three of Canada’s matches at the CONCACAF Men’s Under20 Championship, scoring two goals in a 5-1 win over Nicaragua in February. The 6-foot-1 striker is currently on a year-long loan with German Bundesliga club FC Augsburg. For Canadian coach Phillip Dos Santos, who has also been appointed Ottawa Caleb Clarke Fury FC technical director, the tournament in France represents another key step in the increased international exposure of Canada’s youth players. “It is important to realize that the players from this group will represent the country in next Olympic qualifying tournament in 2016,” Dos Santos told CanadaSoccer. com ahead of his departure for France. “Many of these players were part of our most recent U20 setup and this a crucial opportunity for them to get four more international matches against really strong international opponents.” With the likes of hosts France and African giants Cameroon drawn alongside Canada at the Francophone Games, Dos Santos paid full credence to the ‘quality’ of his side’s group opponents – but as has been a familiar motif for Canada’s youth program – he is urging his young team to dictate the style of play in the matches, even in the face of top-level opposition. “We are going there to play, to impose our style,” said Dos Santos.

Fusion FC’s Rocky Ojajl closes in on an Okanagan opponent during action from last weekend’s Third Annual Adidas Cup Challenge Tournament at Minoru Park. The two-day event featured boys and girls teams from the EA Sports B.C. Premier Soccer League U16 Division. The Richmond-based Fusion won this game 2-0 and went on to fall 4-1 to the Vancouver Island Wave in the final. Coastal FC took the girls crown.
Former McMath star now at Trinity Western
2012 provincial all-star Katrina Tolentino working hard to recover from serious knee injury
Katrina Tolentino
Richmond volleyball standout Katrina Tolentino is continuing her promising career this fall with the Trinity Western University Spartans. The McMath graduate was considered one of the top university prospects in B.C. — ranked ninth in the Province newspaper’s Best of B.C. Senior Girls Super 15 Class of 2013. “I am very blessed and excited to be joining the Spartans as they have an excellent volleyball program and high academic standard,” said Tolentino, who will play middle. “l look forward to studying at Trinity Western and gaining independence, while still being close enough to Richmond to visit my family and friends.” Playing volleyball has been a passion of Tolentino from a very young age and many could see she was a natural on the
court. Joining her high school and the Air attack teams were the spark that lead her to the beginning of decorated career. During her time with Richmond-based Air Attack Volleyball Club, she earned six provincial medals including three gold and one silver. With her high school team, McMath finished in the top seven at provincials each of the last three years. She capped her high school career with an all-star selection at the 2012 AAAA championships. “Katrina has been turning heads in the volleyball community for the past few years,” said Spartans head coach Ryan Hofer. “As a middle, she possesses intangible attributes, which were essential to her success at the high level. She is fast on her feet and explosive at the net, which
gives her an impressive ability to close the block. She has a quick arm and has a variety of shots, which allows her to find the gaps and beat the block. “ In the past six months, Toletino has been working hard to recover from a serious knee injury — tearing her ACL during the provincial tournament. Despite the setback, she was determined to get back on the court dedicating her entire summer by going to physiotherapy, exercising and taking spin classes at the Richmond Oval. She is expected to be fully recovered and ready to play by November while studying towards a degree in business. “I’m so thankful for my coaches and teammates at McMath and Air Attack for helping me develop my skills as a volleyball player,” she added.
