I don’t know why the city is making this so complicated. Name the boulder, not the playground.” Several years ago, after discovering a lack of accessibility at
Richmond parks, Bostik decided to change it up, with the sentiment that no child should sit on the sidelines and watch play. Gemma was her driving force in spending four years working towards building an accessible playground in order to provide inclusive play for children of all abilities. Bostik raised $31,000 and another $27,000 came from the BC Tire Stewardship Foundation. The City of Richmond contributed $160,000.

School closures not done deal GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
A
s Thursday marks the last public forum on potential school closures, Richmond Board of Education chair Eric Yung fears some parents may be staying home, thinking a decision is a done deal. However, that is not the case. “There should be no one who can say ‘I’m not on the list and I don’t have to participate,’ just as much as there should be no one who is overly panicked and say ‘my school is going to close tomorrow.’ No decisions have been made but what we need is a broad conversation,” said Yung. Earlier this year, a district report listed various schools may not meet particular standards to remain open. The Richmond News published that information last month, but Yung said it has led to misunderstandings and the assumption that specific school closures have already been determined. “We are probably going to have to close schools, but we have not decided which schools we are going to close,” said Yung. That decision will be based on public feedback, he added, and not necessarily the condition of any one particular school. As part of its long-range facilities plan, the district has looked at various factors at each individual school, such as its capacity, operating costs and the need for seismic upgrades.
But at the root of the loom“Do you prefer small ing closures is a Ministry of schools or do you like large Education guideline that states schools?” asked Yung, as an in order for a school to receive example. seismic upgrades, it must be For instance, the district running at about 95 per cent could close one large school capacity. or several smaller schools, or Complicating matters is a combination. shifting populations in RichYung said large schools mond. offer more programs because !

Inspector Recycle to be hired by city
A
new set of regulations and fees will be imposed on developers and homebuilders in Richmond in order to divert at least 70 per cent of single-family homes demolition waste away from landfills. The new bylaw is in response to a wave of development, resulting from a combination of aging homes and a hot real estate market. According to a City of Richmond planning report, there are, on average over the last five years, 510 houses being demolished annually in the city. Those houses represent about 20 per cent of demolition activity in Metro Vancouver, despite Richmond accounting for just under 10 per cent of the population. “In light of the significant proportion of demolition waste originating from Richmond, actions to promote recycling of demolition waste are an important consideration to support established regional waste diversion targets,” noted the report. Ergo, builders will soon pay (after city council unanimously endorsed the proposed bylaw on Monday) a $250 non-refundable fee and $2 per square foot of demolished floor space that will be refunded if the builder meets the 70 per cent threshold. The city will use the fees to pay for a new inspector, whose sole duty will be to enforce recycling/re-use. The recommendations from city planners are based on Metro Vancouver regional guidelines and a pilot program conducted by city staff. The pilot found the status quo resulted in a 51 per cent waste diversion rate. The pilot also found that 90 per cent diversion of waste could also be achieved, but it would cost the builder 40 per cent more money to do so. The bylaw is said to be a compromise with builders, and the city hopes to increase the threshold to 80 per cent in time. As well, the fees were reduced at the behest of the Richmond Small Builders Group, following consultation. — Graeme Wood

talented professionals,” said Greeno. Greeno got her teaching start at KPU Richmond over 20 years ago with a guest talk to a design class about her philosophy as a buyer. “I loved every moment of sharing information and collaborating with the students,” said Greeno, who also offered to host field trips with various local retailers, and gave her insight on final projects. Eventually she took on a class of her own. “I was hooked immediately. It was so much fun to be around bright, creative, dedicated and engaged students,” she said about students in the two-year program. “I still love my students and how we learn together more than anything I have done in my career.”

From page 4 Ergo, new homeowners would have to expect a smaller piece of the pie than their parents’ generation, he noted. Condon told the audience while the issue of unaffordable housing is magnified in Metro Vancouver, it is also a problem being felt around the world. “The disparity between what the middle class own and what the one per cent own is basically at the root of all this,” said Condon. For now, at least from an urban planning perspective, cities have at least some choices available to them.
Coun. Au said it’s important to begin dialogue on the problem. “This meeting was essential because of the growth pressures facing our community in the coming years,” said Au via Facebook. Johnston echoed Au, noting “this is about ensuring future housing solutions provide the best possible options for our community.” This was the Coalition’s second town hall on development and affordability. Its first town hall in August featured development and real estate experts Tsur Somerville and Bob Ransford.

From time to time, the Richmond News will focus on some of the unique jobs people undertake in the city. In this first edition of Odd Jobs, we find out what counsellors provide in the Family Justice Centre, a provincial service that doesn’t receive a lot of exposure, yet deals with matters that strike at the core of family relationships.
W
hen “happily ever after” doesn’t happen for parents and their children, one of Richmond’s lesser-known community service teams swings into action. They are counsellors who serve in the Richmond Family Justice Centre, a section of the province’s Ministry of Justice that provides a helping hand through the legal system when
a family relationship has broken down. Despite what their traffic numbers may suggest, it’s not a service that springs immediately to mind for many people, said Ronne Sun, local manager of the three-person team which last year handled 840 phone calls and saw an average of 85 families a month. “If people are having family issues, they are probably coming from the courts, which they can find a difficult and bewildering experience without the aid of lawyers, or support workers,” Sun said. “And when they become aware that we are here, many people say, ‘Wow, how come no one told us that.’” The role of the counsellors at the centre is to provide information in an easily digestible manner at a time when a family feels like their world is crumbling around them. “Family law is messy. It’s emotional. It’s frustrating. People are feeling alienated, hurt See Logic page 7

Due to recent Provincial legislative changes, all Land Use Contracts will terminate on June 30, 2024, but Richmond City Council is considering proceeding with bylaws to terminate these Land Use Contracts early. As a result, these properties will become subject to standard residential zoning requirements of the City of Richmond. A Public Hearing for the potential termination of Single Family Land Use Contracts is scheduled for November 24, 2015. Your property or properties in your neighbourhood may be impacted. If you own a property that is in an area with a single family Land Use Contract and believe that your property may be affected or you would like more information, please join the discussion on the proposed early termination of Land Use Contracts at the following upcoming public information session: Date: Thursday, November 5, 2015 Time: 4 to 8 p.m. Place: Richmond City Hall, Main Hall (6911 No. 3 Road) City staff will be in attendance to answer questions and provide information regarding the proposed bylaws and early termination process. Display boards and take-away information will be available. For more information on Land Use Contracts, please visit www.richmond.ca/ plandev/planning2/projects/LUC.

Chiu hardly in position to blame communication Dear Editor, Re: “Communication let Chiu down” News, Oct. 23. It was with astonishment that I read of failed Conservative candidate Kenny Chiu’s complaint of a lack of communication for one reason for his defeat. Most candidate’s attempts at getting their message out would firstly consist of attending all-candidates meetings, facing the public, answering their questions and explaining their party’s platform. Chiu, along with MP Alice Wong and other Tory candidates in the Lower Mainland, made a concerted effort to avoid these meetings and raised the ire of voters who had taken the time to attend the meetings expecting the candidates to be there. If Chiu and other Conservative hopefuls failed to get elected, or in Wong’s case, get elected with a huge decrease in votes, it was because of their lack of exposure and accountability to the voters.
In addition to this complaint, Chiu doubled down by complaining about the attack ads by the Liberals, which were mild, compared to the Conservative attack ads in the Chinese media only, and contained nothing but untruths about Justin Trudeau putting marijuana into the hands of young people and having brothels on every corner. Because Chiu, Wong and other Conservative hopefuls did not speak up about these ads, we can believe they endorsed them, and therefore Chiu is in fact a hypocrite in blaming the Liberal ads for his demise, when their own ads disgusted the voters. One of the virtues of politicians who lose an election is their graceful accepting of defeat and congratulating the successful winner, a virtue that Chiu has yet to learn. Alan Halliday Richmond
Honest account of move, moving Dear Editor, Re: “Nadine, 91, decided it was time to move,” News, Oct. 23. Thank you for publishing the column written by Nadine Jones about her experience moving to a care facility. It was an honest assessment of a major change that most of us will face. Despite the advertising hoopla, selling a home and moving to a complete- ! Nadine Jones ly different environment isn’t all sweetness and light.

Accessible road to nowhere no good Dear Editor, Re: “Barriers to the disabled still exist: Hansen,” News, Oct. 23. I found your story on Rick Hansen’s continuing efforts to remove barriers for those with disabilities quite interesting, especially his statement, “People can do certain things for accessibility and think that’s it. But, in reality, you may leave a group behind.” Like transit users. All TransLink buses are now wheelchair accessible, something that has occurred entirely since Hansen’s Man in Motion tour. But different barriers remain. One bus stop on Bridgeport Road would be almost comical if not for the implications. It’s fully accessible; buses drop off wheelchair passengers right in front
! Rick Hansen
of the large office and industrial complex there. That’s great, but there’s no way for them to get off the sidewalk! In one direction the sidewalk simply dead-ends. In the other, it curls around onto
No. 6 Road, past loading docks with no accessible access. One woman got off the bus a block over on Viking Way, zig-zagged through the parking lot, then expertly timed the approaching semi-trailer trucks barreling towards the Knight Street bridge and zipped out onto the street, first to get around the railway tracks, then the sidewalkless gap between parking lots, to access her workplace. Another place where someone, be it a city engineer or TransLink planner, should have said “Hey, wait a minute” is the intersection of No. 5 Road at Steveston Highway. A massive upgrade to accommodate the daily influx of cars and trucks (hey, nobody seems to have a problem championing THEIR interests)
into the Horseshoe Way industrial area included the removal of the Ironwood Mall stop. Now, passengers must disembark on the far side of Steveston Highway and cross the wide, busy intersection, replete with multiple turning lanes, which one blind transit user calls “a war zone.” Trying to hear the audible Walk/ Don’t Walk signals above the roar of trucks is “next to impossible,” he says. In the last civic election, some candidates made promising statements about addressing the needs of accessible transit. Perhaps now, following Hansen’s lead, is the time to follow through. David Magowan Richmond
Follow dad’s example of being a peace-keeper Dear Editor, It has been reported that 1,792 candidates put forward their names for public office for 338 seats in the recent federal election. In Richmond, nine individuals vied for the two Member of Parliament positions — Richmond Centre and Steveston – Richmond East. Each of these candidates deserves our thanks for offering themselves for public service. At the same time, I would like to congratulate our two winners in this election, Alice Wong in Richmond Centre and Joe Peschosolido in Steveston-
Richmond East. Both of them are experienced legislators. I am sure they will make every effort in serving their constituents to the best of their abilities. All of the Richmond candidates ran very clean and fair campaigns. Their participation has made very valuable contribution to the democratic process in Canada. Our Prime Minister Designate, Justin Trudeau, has surprised everyone. He has injected new blood and life into the Liberal Party of Canada. His impressive win at the polls has placed him in a very unique position. He has raised public expectations immensely. Let’s hope that Trudeau
will keep his promise of repealing Bill C-24, and reviewing Bill C-51 and other commitments. Another area where he needs to concentrate is Canada’s foreign policy. It is very unfortunate that the Harper government has blindly followed the U.S. in formulating its foreign policy. This approach has significantly reduced Canada’s influence in the international arena. We need to revert back to our well respected position of peacemaker and peace-keeper as followed by former Prime Ministers Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau. In that era, Canada was considered to be one of the
most respected nations in the world. Let’s hope that the Liberals under Justin Trudeau will revert to that approach. Balwant Sanghera Richmond

LETTERS to the Editor
Turn trash to cash: Coun. proposes business opportunity Dear Editor, Richmond sends 500 houses a year to the dump. That is 20 per cent of the demolition permit activity in Metro Vancouver and translates into 70,000 tons of trash in the Vancouver Landfill. The situation is not sustainable, so on Oct. 26, Richmond City Council voted unanimously to support a Management of Waste and Recyclables Materials from Demolition Activities bylaw. The goal is to recycle 70 per cent of the materials from demolished homes,
with higher goals to be set later as the capabilities of recyclers increase. This new direction by council has been supported by Richmond’s Small Business Group, and I applaud that. Going further, I suggest that this new direction can become an opportunity for entrepreneurs to cash in. Salvagers could offer builders a demolition sale service and they could also provide security for the site. By residing at the address for a month or so in a recreational vehicle, the salvagers could

sell many valuable items from the property such as fences, furnaces, hot water tanks, appliances, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, doors, bricks, windows, hardware, railings, copper, insulation, wood, siding, carpets, other flooring and plants. In the past, I have sold many of these items myself
and made a profit that has offset the cost of my own renovations, so I can see how the approach can be viable. The more items that can be sold results in even less for the builders to recycle. I have also learned, as a business owner for almost 40 years, that the key to a successful business is

Short reads packed with captivating characters SHELLEYCIVKIN Book Club
T
here’s something very appealing about the satisfaction I get when I read a good, short story and it only takes me half an hour to finish. Not only do I like the quick-and-dirty aspect of it, but I appreciate the skill it takes to create a captivating story with well-drawn characters, all in the space of 30 pages or less. That’s not to say that every story in Katherine Heiny’s new collection, Single, Carefree, Mellow is spectacular, but many are well worth the read.
Heiny’s detached, yet sharp, writing style is just hip enough to let the reader know that love is not all hearts and roses. The women that populate her stories are unlucky, ill-fated and accursed when it comes to love and relationships. They rarely want what they’ve got, and they can’t seem to ever get what they need. Full of funny, insightful scenarios, Single, Carefree, Mellow is an engaging read for singles and marrieds alike. The humour is subtle and understated when Heiny
shows us the countless incarnations of relationships, pseudo-relationships, nonrelationships, and wannabe relationships. And for good measure, she sprinkles dalliances and gross infidelities around like they’re salt. One of my favourites is the titular story Single, Carefree, Mellow, where the main character Maya lives with a guy named Rhodes, and has a dog Bailey who is dying. While visiting the vet, Maya flirts shamelessly with him and wonders later in her car, if “…someday, possibly very soon, she would be a single, carefree, mellow, dog-less person, able to date full professors and vets and whomever else
she wanted.” Never mind that she has a loving partner waiting for her at home. Another intriguing short story collection I discovered is The Hidden of Things: Twelve Stories of Love & Longing by Yael Unterman. Featuring women and men who are desperately seeking a life-mate, despite their dismal dating histories, Unterman manages to turn love into a spectator sport. We meet intolerant religious daters, ever-hopeful romantics, wise and tragic daters, and everything in between. Covering territory from Jerusalem to New York to London, her characters are as unique as fingerprints,
and as unsettled as hurricanes. Constantly seeking connection, be it spiritual, emotional or physical, they make their way through life with a single-minded purpose. Unterman is masterful at irony and nuance, and her stories are irresistible. For other popular reading suggestions, check out Richmond Public Library’s website at yourlibrary.ca/ goodbooks/. Shelley Civkin is the communications officer with the Richmond Public Library

of short stories is a recommended read. Photo submitted

Here are some safety tips to keep ghosts and goblins safe: FIREWORKS Celebrate wisely! Children should be taught that fireworks are not toys and should not be picked up if found. The use of fireworks by untrained individuals may result in unnecessary injuries, so why not enjoy a fireworks display by professionals at one of Richmond’s four fireworks shows? Trickers should: • wear flame resistant and light-coloured or reflective clothing so as to be seen easily by motorists • carry a flashlight as a light source • be able to see well through a mask or use makeup instead • travel in groups, preferably with a parent or guardian • wait until parents have checked treats before eating • avoid carrying sharp or pointed objects Treaters should: • ensure the pathway to their front door is well-lit • only hand out commercially wrapped treats, coupons, gift certificates • drive slowly and watch for pedestrians on the road • watch for goblins when backing out of your driveway Please note that under Richmond’s Fire Protection and Life Safety Bylaw 8306, offences and fines include purchasing fireworks ($1,000 fine), displaying fireworks for sale ($1,000 fine), selling or distributing fireworks ($1,000 fine) or possession of fireworks without a permit ($200 fine). A zero tolerance approach will be taken.

Families get an assist into the ‘good ol’ game’ Hockey program breaking down barriers ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter
ACAMPBELLRICHMONDNEWS.COM
C
lutching his first “proper” hockey stick with wide eyes and a broad grin to match, Samuel Rancourt is one very excited sevenyear-old boy and he’s showing everyone what he’s going to do the second he hits the ice. He “thinks” he likes the Canucks, he believes his mom supports Edmonton, while his Quebec-native dad, Sylvain, is pretty sure he’s a Habs fan. Samuel said he “wants to be a goalie,” but
his dad would prefer him to be a defenceman, however he’s OK with whatever his son chooses. It doesn’t matter really to the Thomas Kidd elementary student. What matters is that Samuel will soon be on the ice, decked from head to toe in brand new gear and getting coached by the Richmond Minor Hockey Association as part of Hockey Canada’s barrier-removing First Shift program. Without the six-week program — the first of its kind in the Lower Mainland, which is open to six to 10-year-olds who’ve never enrolled in a hockey program before — it’s unlikely kids such as Samuel would be lacing up so yyoung. But for less than $200, the Ironwood kid, w who got kitted out Sunday at Kingswood eleementary along with 39 other youngsters, will ttake to the ice Nov. 7 for the first of the half d dozen, 75-minute coaching sessions. “We were thinking about it, but the kit is eexpensive,” Rancourt said, when asked if he w would ordinarily have enrolled his son in a hockey program if First Shift wasn’t available. “There are many things to think about and tthe kit is one of the decisions, so this took tthat barrier away.”

fun. John Tansey said it would be doubtful his son, Joshua, 8, would be in a hockey program if it wasn’t for First Shift. “Probably not, as he’d be going into an environment that people are already skating and have played before usually. But he’s watched his brother (Ethan, 11) playing for a few years now and he’s ready to play,” said Tansey, whose kids go to Thompson elementary. “Ethan started in house and he’s now in rep hockey, so it shows what you can do. “My wife (Ira) heard about (First Shift) on TV. She’s never been that keen on putting Josh into hockey, but she liked the sound of it because they were taking care of the kids. “The cost is a barrier for sure, especially if you’re not totally sure he’ll like it. “It’s an awful lot of money to pay out on equipment to find out he doesn’t want to play after a few weeks.” Dean Worrall, who lived in Richmond until

And my girlfriend has three kids, with one income, so it’s tough. “Plus, there’s too much pressure in the game, so this (lower cost) takes some of that away, both for the parent and the kid.” Meanwhile, Wendy and Brad Martens decided the program was a good fit for their eight-year-old son, Linden, a Richmond Christian School student, who plays a ton of road hockey. “I’m always concerned about the See Hart page 17

Hart: Program is ‘perfect’ for Richmond From page 16 aggresiveness,” said Wendy. “Whereas this program really focuses on the fundamentals.” Linden supports the Habs, apparently, but he also cheered for Boston when they were playing the Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final. “He tends to go against the grain, frequently supporting the other team,” added his mom. His dad is a Canucks fan, by the way.

ichmond Minor Hockey’s responsibilities lie with providing the ice time and the coaching, said its president, Carolyn Hart, who’s already asked Hockey Canada if her association can run another First Shift as soon as possible. “It’s perfect for our community as there are so many families in Richmond who don’t have a background in hockey, but the children are keen to play,” said Hart, amid the excitement on Sunday. “It’s daunting, even to know what to get and how to dress your kid. To get some assistance with that, it lifts another barrier, as well as the help with the cost.” They can keep all the equipment when the six weeks are up, said Hart, although the hope is the kids stick with the sport and the association is currently tailoring a program to allow the young players an entry point into a season that’s already underway. “They will learn how to skate, or skate better, stick handling, all the fundamentals,” explained Hart. “We want them to eventually join teams, so we will have a program ready for them to slip into if they want.”

t Tong Moo Do School, martial arts is about developing leadership skills and learning what it means to be a good person. The school has a heavy emphasis on teaching students life skills, both through discussion and martial arts training. “We focus on leadership development and character development,” said master Joseph Jung, whose family owns the school. “We use martial arts as a vehicle to develop leaders,” he said. All classes at the school are based on themes relating to leadership and character development. Past themes that they have used include conhdence, courage, collaboration, dedication, integrity and honesty. “Every month we have a different theme and we talk about a different aspect of what it means to be a leader,” Jung said. The goal of classes is not just to teach what each theme means within the context of the physical act of martial arts training, but what it means in everyday situations as well. “We give examples of how it can be applied into their lives in different, everyday things,” Jung added. Lessons based around the month’s theme

are taught during classes both explicitly and implicitly. The explicit part involves a discussion of the theme, while “the implicit part is within the martial arts training itself,” Jung said. This means “teaching character development through the actual physical training what it means to set goals, what it means to be dedicated, what it means to work hard, those types of things.” The physical part of training is done according to Tong Moo Do, which is a martial arts style that mixes aspects of different styles together. “It’s the concept of trying the best parts from a variety of martial arts styles and combining those into one system,” said Jung. During classes, they also try to model strong characters and what it means to be a leader. The goal is for students to look to both their teachers as role models “and hopefully their peers as well,” said Jung. While each class is designed to be a learning experience, the instructors also strive to make training fun and exciting. Importantly, especially for newcomers, they also make sure that classes are safe for every-

Tong Moo Do School has a heavy emphasis on teaching students life skills, both through discussion and martial arts training.
From page 18 one involved. “I think a lot of times people feel intimidated by the thought of going into a martial arts school,” Jung said. A common fear is of getting hurt, particularly for those who are new to martial arts and are unsure of what happens in a class. The instructors at the school make sure to provide a safe, respectful environment for all participants though, regardless of their skill level. “We’re committed to making sure our school is a safe and welcoming environment,” Jung said. “We make sure that everybody is respectful and welcoming to new people, and
we make sure that everyone is comfortable and working at a level they feel comfortable with and are happy with.” Tong Moo Do Martial Arts School offers classes for both children and adults. The classes are great for “anyone who wants to improve themselves,” Jung said. The school works with students of all levels, and beginners are always welcome as it is assumed “that people coming in have no martial arts training,” he said. The school is now offering an introductory special where new students can try classes for $30 for the hrst month, with no obligation. A uniform is included in the introductory price.
We make sure that everybody is respectful and welcoming to new people, and we make sure that everyone is comfortable and working at a level they feel comfortable with and are happy with. – MASTER JOSEPH JUNG

SPORTS Beyond the Scores
Shorthanded Boyd falls to Holy Cross Mark Booth Sports Editor
mbooth@richmond-news.com
W
ith well over 100 years of coaching experience between the three of them, there is nothing Bill and Bruce Haddow, along with Chris Beaton, haven’t seen before. Whether it’s empty back sets, double wing formations or nickel packages, it’s not going to catch this trio off-guard. It’s when you don’t have enough personnel to counter what your opponent is doing that your vast high school football knowledge and strategy can mean very little. Case in point was the Hugh Boyd Trojans’ key AA Southern Conference game Saturday in Surrey against the Holy Cross Crusaders. Richmond’s only senior high school football team made the trek east with 18 available players and four junior call-ups. The limited depth chart is nothing new this season due to injuries and other circumstances but it means walking on a tight rope every week.
The Trojans started out fine, opening up an early 12-7 lead. That’s when the injury bug bit again. Recently appointed quarterback Tariq Lopez left the game with an ankle injury. That forced star tailback Gabe Saklofsky behind centre for the remainder of the first half. The pass happy Crusaders took a 21-12 lead into the second half and began to pull away thanks to another long vertical play to start the third quarter. Lopez hobbled back onto the field but there were more fallen players to deal with. Standout linebacker Patrick Ruvalcaba’s afternoon was cut short with a leg injury and the bread and butter of Boyd’s offence soon joined him when Saklofsky went down in the third quarter. That left receiver Robbie Conroy as the Trojans’ last remaining offensive threat. He was moved into the tailback position and did manage a 75-yard major in the fourth quarter. With all these players lining up on both sides of the ball, the Crusaders took advantage of Boyd’s battered defence to roll to a 51-19 victory. “What do you do?’ asked head

coach Bill Haddow. “All we can do is take it day-to-day and week-to week. “We can’t produce anymore bodies.” Haddow knew the Crusaders would be a tough match-up as his defence is built to shut down the run with the bulk of his key players
in the front seven. Falling behind two or three scores almost presents an almost impossible task for the offence which features little in the way of passing plays. “We don’t have a natural quarterback so we may sprinkle a few passes in and that’s about it,”
added Haddow. “Opposing teams see the film and they are jamming the box and bringing more people than we can block. It’s basic stuff.” The coaching staff have shorten this week’s practice schedule to get their team healthy for Friday’s 7 p.m. home date with Moscrop.
McMath dominates Richmond Cross-Country Championships
B
lessed with a superb fall afternoon, the Richmond High School Cross-Country Championships at Garry Point last week brought out the best in the city’s high school teams, capping a season that saw 125 athletes competing weekly. While McMath ended up claiming the team title, both Richmond Christian and Steveston-London continued to improve and served notice that the Wildcat supremacy may not be the same next year. After a see-saw battle all season long, Nate Loewen of McMath got the better of Richmond Christian’s Daniel Wilkinson over the rolling 6 km course to claim the Senior Boys’ crown, with Sam Loewen
Indoor Trick-or-Treating

getting the Bronze. The Senior Girl’s podium was swept by McMath’s Hannah Pieritz, Samantha Maika and Georgia Booker. McNair’s Brodie Baily, a season-long contender, finished the race running with a broken bone in her foot and toughed out a remarkable fourth place finish. In Junior Boys’ action, Josh Woolgar of Richmond Christian and Wesley Huang of MacNeill pushed the strong McMath trio of Carson Bradley and the ArakiYoung brothers — Michael and Bradley. Woolgar managed to nip Grade 8 Bradley over the last few meters to grab the Bronze. The Wildcats continued to dominate the Junior Girls as they have
all season, placing seven runners in the Top 10. Tylere Morin outsprinted Grade 8 Elizabeth Kennedy and a fast-closing Morgan Flynn to win the Division. This week, a large team from all the Richmond schools will travel to Burnaby’s Central Park to compete in the Burnaby/New West/Richmond Zone Championships, the last step before the Provincials at Jericho Park in Vancouver. Other top runners from Richmond High, Burnett, MacNeill and McRoberts will join the Richmond champion teams to earn the right to advance to November’s finals.

WALLIS, Charles (Chuck) Alfred January 11, 1927 October 3, 2015 ..
With great sadness we announce the passing of our Dad, Chuck. He passed away peacefully on October 3, 2015 at age 88. Chuck, the oldest child of Alfred and Margaret Wallis, was born in Edmonton, Alberta on January 11, 1927. He loved all sports but hockey was his passion. In 1944 he moved with his family to Richmond, BC. He began working as a mechanic and met the love of his life Rosie Schmidt. They got married in 1951 and shortly after purchased the garage station where they both worked naming it Wallis Motors. Chuck lived his life to the fullest. He played an active role in supporting Janet, Dianne and Ken’s interest in Arabian horses. Chuck was a loving Grandpa to Craig and Lanie. He was happiest gardening, taking care of the animals on the farm or travelling. Dad was predeceased by his wife Rosie. Dad will be greatly missed by his children Janet (Henry) Wolf, Dianne (Marc) Thomas, Ken (Lewis) Wallis, his grandchildren Craig (Melanie) Thomas, Lanie Thomas, his brothers Al (Marlene), Bill (Sheryl), Gordie (Sue), his sister Peggy Georgeson, extended family members and friends.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-ROW IVMP-2015
Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509) In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems and facilities. In British Columbia, KMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products and the Jet Fuel Pipeline transporting aviation fuel. The pipelines are located below ground and in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Little Fort, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021. The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand cutting and pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies and may include the use biological control agents. KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations. The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/ wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer. A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_row_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above. “A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
