Pedestrian hit in Steveston, ﬁghts for life

Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

69-year-old man is ﬁghting for his life after being struck by a car in Steveston on Tuesday morning. The accident happened as the man walked across Dyke Road, just a few yards south of the intersection with London Road, at around 11 a.m. The car involved, a Chevrolet sedan, was being driven by a 77-year-old and appeared to be travelling north at the time. According to Richmond RCMP, the driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with police. Speed and alcohol are not factors in the incident. Police say the pedestrian was rushed to hospital with “life-threatening injuries.” There is a construction site to the west side of the crash scene, but it’s unclear whether the sidewalk is fully accessible and whether it played a part in the incident. Crash investigators were still probing the scene at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Anyone with information on this collision is asked to contact Const. Jenkins at 604-278-1212.

consortium of major airlines — including Air Canada and WestJet — is seeking legal fees from VAPOR, a group of local citizens that took the companies to court last year. VAPOR had unsuccessfully challenged the consortium’s planned jet fuel delivery system on the south arm of the Fraser River, arguing that the provincial government and the consortium — known as the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation (VAFFC) — did not provide for adequate public consultation leading up to the December 2013 granting of an environmental certiﬁcate. Since losing the judicial review in B.C. Supreme Court in early 2015, the province has subsequently dropped its request to claw back legal fees from VAPOR. However, VAFFC is seeking compensation.

VAFFC: Process was fair

director of the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, was met with a storm of opposition as he presented the bridge proposal to councillors at a committee meeting Monday evening. Photo by Jason Payne, PNG.

From page 1 “Since VAFFC was included in the court action, it was obliged to defend the consultation process and incurred substantial costs as a result. The judge concluded that the process was fair and followed the legislative consultation regime reasonably, and that VAPOR participated in the review and could not identify a single issue that it raised that was not dealt with during the EAO review. It is fair that VAPOR pay a portion of VAFFC’s cost for this court action,” said Pollard. VAPOR had contended the public consultation periods were too short. It’s also contended the environmental assessment was flawed, however legal it may have been. Carswell said the federal government wasn’t present, save for Port Metro Vancouver, which will lease the land to VAFFC. “The port is benefitting from this project financially. It’s an inherent conflict of interest,” he said. “Having the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Environment Canada involved would have made for a stronger environmental review,” added Carswell. VAPOR, Carswell contended, is now directing its efforts at the new Liberal government. “MP Joe Peschisolido in (Steveston) Richmond East has publicly said (the jet fuel project) should have been done under a full federal review. And that didn’t happen. It was a harmonized review by the province,” said Carswell. “The province has no mandate to study the impact of the project on fisheries. That alone is a massive gaping hole in the review that was conducted.” The project will consist of six jet fuel storage tanks near Riverport and a new pipeline to Vancouver International Airport.

Council wants new, improved tunnel Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

ichmond city council took a significant step in its opposition to a replacement bridge to Delta by stating it prefers a new or improved George Massey Tunnel. However, councillors Ken Johnston and Alexa Loo opposed the motion tabled at a committee on Monday evening. The stated opposition to the replacement bridge came after a presentation by Geoff Freer, executive director of the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project. “It seems to me this (bridge) is going to be tremendous in terms of economic growth by getting more cars moving,” Loo told Freer. But committee chair Mayor Malcolm Brodie led a chorus of concerns ranging from agricultural land preservation, Port Metro Vancouver’s role in the project, the expectations placed on the City of Richmond and what, if anything, is to be done about the Oak Street Bridge bottleneck. Freer contended about 60 per cent of traffic through the tunnel originates from, and is destined for, Richmond. Freer said the Oak Street Bridge problem is a City of Vancouver matter and his team would be speaking to Vancouver planners. He said queues at the Oak Street Bridge will be a “little longer” after the new bridge is built. “You say this bridge is a solution to many problems, but you’re not addressing this one,” said Brodie. Coun. Derek Dang said the Oak Street Bridge must be addressed for the replacement bridge to make sense, even if 60 per cent of the traffic is related to Richmond. “You’re moving more cars into an area known to stop cars, I mean, what is the purpose? It’s a bridge going to a big stop sign. This has to be the priority,” he said.

" Richmond RCMP are investigating how a car managed to end up stuck in a ditch after bringing down a pedestrian bridge in the area of No. 3 and Finn roads early on Sunday morning. Police said the registered owner or driver of the car — a decommissioned police car — have not been located. The vehicle, a white Ford Crown Victoria, was towed away for further investigation. The city is undertaking an assessment of the damaged bridge. Meanwhile, residents in East Richmond were without power for several hours last Friday after a backhoe fell into the ditch, taking down power lines. Photos submitted.

It’s about helping them find resiliency that they’re going to need every day in life. It’s OK to let them know that it’s just the way the world is sometimes.” Suffice to say, explained MacNamara, the child simply needs to know that, when faced with adversity, someone is there for them. Research across the globe, insists MacNamara, clearly indicates that some of the most resilient kids have caring adults in their lives. “There are examples such as this across the world, across cultures and ethnicities,” she said. “Without (the relationships), things such as addiction, mental health and criminal justice issues can become a factor.” However, the relationships don’t always

We have sold the Broadway Wild Birds Unlimited store to Mark and Laura Eburne, who purchased the North Vancouver store from us in February, 2014. The sale will take place February lst, the store will not be closed, the staff will not change and the Wild Birds Unlimited Franchise will continue to operate as it has for the last 26 years, so drop in and say hello to them in February. Wendy and I opened the first Wild Birds Unlimited store in Canada on Oak St. in October, 1989. We opened the North Vancouver store two years later, and have seen the Franchise grow to 300 plus stores, including 18 in Canada (7 of them in B.C.). It has been a rewarding experience making so many friends and sharing in their joy of nature - feeding birds in their own backyards. We have been well rewarded and will cherish the memories. So, knowing you will continue to be well served by Mark, Laura and our long-serving staff (including Tabby), we bid you a loving farewell and our heartfelt thanks for your support!

tudents and teachers at McNair secondary school are opening their classroom doors to the public Thursday evening in a bid to showcase what they’ve been learning this year. Principal Jason Leslie said the open house concept is intended to engage students, and parents, as well as any member of the public who may be interested in how a school operates. “Sadly, many of the great things that are happening go unnoticed and too many in the community are unaware because we do not tell our stories,” said Leslie. “Much of what makes the news about education is labour unrest and some of the negatives regarding behaviour. The open house is just us trying to tell the public about all the good things that are happening in public schools.” The open house concept is in conjunction with the school’s program planning event, whereby students and parents can learn about a particular program. Leslie said many other schools in the Richmond School District have similar events. The evening’s events will run from 6-9 p.m. In the gymnasium the senior boys basketball team is hosting a short tournament. Cheerleading and dance performances will also entertain visitors. In the theatre room, students will perform a shortened version of their upcoming spring production, Sleepy Hollow. Music students will also showcase their

The purpose of the No. 5 Road Backlands Policy is to allow institutional uses on the westerly 110m of the properties within the policy area, if the remaining portions are actively farmed. The proposed OCP amendment bylaw is to formally include the policy in the 2041 OCP. The proposed change will also provide property owners with the option to either farm the backlands, dedicate them to the City or enter into legal agreements to grant the City or its designate the ability to access and farm the backlands on behalf of the owners. A Public Hearing for the proposed OCP amendment bylaw is scheduled for February 15, 2016.

Dear Editor, Our farming community needs us. I usually think in rational arguments, reasoned bullet points nicely arranged to form an opinion about protecting ecological and community values. But this time, learning about Port Metro Vancouver’s arrogant and anti-democratic plans to expropriate farmland and develop the precious estuary at the mouth of the Fraser River, reason is too obvious and is eclipsed by reaction purely from my heart. Port expansion, a bridge, jet-fuel, coal, LNG... I won’t stand by while short-sighted greed steals even more water and land, takes the ﬁsh and food, paves the shoreline, silences the birds, and diminishes our local farming economy even further. Mayor Brodie, thank you for defending what’s left of our Agricultural Land Reserve. Thank you for speaking up with rage and deﬁance to protect what we know are the most important assets we have, for which we have the biggest responsibility to pass on to future generations. We all know that PMV’s CEO is making simplistic and ludicrous claims when he

ichmond is considering whether to end its contracted service with the RCMP and create its own municipal police department similar to Delta, Vancouver, New Westminster and other cities in British Columbia and Canada. This should not be seen as a negative reflection of the RCMP, a nationally and internationally recognized icon of Canada, but rather as a natural progression for a growing Canadian city. Richmond has changed a lot since 1950 when the RCMP began policing the farming/fishing community. The question now is, what model provides the most effective and accountable form of community policing in an increasingly diverse, growing urban city? Policing has also changed a lot over the years and urban policing is a specialized form of it. Police departments are an integral part of a city’s identity. One only has to think about the London Met, the LAPD or NYPD to see the emphasis on unique local issues and specialization. The same is true in Canada, where larger cities with local police departments focus on issues unique to being urban centres. But it’s not just major cities such as Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Calgary that have their own police departments. So do cities much smaller than Richmond, such as Winkler and Brandon, Manitoba; Moose Jaw and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan; Medicine Hat and Taber, Alta; and Nelson and Central Saanich, B.C. It’s important that police departments reflect the local community priorities, including the vision, mission and core values. A key area of effectiveness concerns the retention of experienced personnel and this is true for any business or organization. The RCMP has many talented members, but it also has a vast array of responsibilities throughout Canada and with international policing partners. In addition to contracted provincial and municipal (cities and towns) policing, it is responsible for demanding and

LETTERSto the Editor

School district needs to think globally Dear Editor, Re: “Board looks at schools in high-rises,” News, Jan. 13. I don’t envy our school trustees as they plan for the future of our city’s students in these unprecedented times. Planning schools, high-rise or not, in our city centre and trying to determine which to close is nearly an impossible task. We need to look at historical data from outside Canada, from cities where comparable growth and redevelopment happened 20 and 30 years ago that might be able to provide us some idea of what happens when suburban areas densify. They can provide us with models for schools in urban areas, for answers to gym space (a tough engineering task in a high-rise) and green space for playgrounds — the city and school district need to work together on both to ensure optimum use of our tax dollars. It seems that some planning information and “guess-timates” of future school populations is available for city centre, but I wonder about the understandings of the areas being considered for possible school closures. Sure enough, populations have been declining in several catchments, at least in part due to huge numbers of redevelopments of the residential single-family

properties — when houses are bought for redevelopment, sit empty a few months, then get knocked down, rebuilt, then marketed for sale, sometimes for as long as a year. There are no students from those properties attending school. And then, if the redeveloped properties sit empty after purchase, there are still no students. But what about when these houses are fully occupied? In my neighbourhood, the new houses have double the number of bedrooms of the ones they replace. Isn’t it reasonable to expect that twice as many students will be knocking on school doors once they are fully occupied? And maybe it will be more — in major cities all over the world, large homes originally built for wealthy families are now subdivided into apartments. That’s what happens when real estate prices rise. As they look at options for high-rise schools, our trustees should also look at land use patterns and school attendance in former single-family neighbourhoods. We need research from cities in Europe and perhaps a few U.S. cities to make good decisions. Simply looking at declining enrolment over the past few years will not lead to good decision-making. Julie Halfnights

Airport shopping mall making the right marks Dear Editor, I recently visited the new McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport mall and was very impressed to see properly marked accessible parking spots. They included some spots with wider hash marks to accomodate vans with ramps or lifts for individuals who use wheelchairs for everyday mobility. Accessible parking spots were originally developed back in the 1970s for those in wheelchairs who drove their own vehicles and need extra space to get their wheelchairs in and out of the car independently.

Now, most accessible parking placards are given to individuals who do not use a wheelchair and in most cases do not need the wider parking spots. Now, we are beginning to see vanaccessible spots in lots, recognizing the need for those who use wheelchairs and have a larger vehicle or a van. I hope those who have a placard but do not use wheelchair use regular spots when they can, leaving the van-accessible spots for those who truly need them.

Time to name and shame the litter louts Dear Editor, The person(s) who went out of their way to dump their trash on farmland have no regard for the beautiful place we live in or the fact food is grown there. I can’t ﬁgure out how someone could think this act was acceptable. Or how they could justify doing it? No respect at all for others, the environment or our community. I fear these people will instill those same selﬁsh values into their kids. This is the second time in the last few months that people have driven there and dumped their rubbish. It is more than sad...it’s criminal! The site is located on Gilbert Road, just south of Steveston Highway. I walk my dog at the No. 3 Road dike daily. This morning, I cleaned up take-out garbage from the ground in the parking lot. Two people I believe from the same

vehicle threw their garbage out their windows from both sides of the vehicle. How can young people believe that’s acceptable? They speciﬁcally drove to that lot to enjoy the view and peace. Then, as they left, they threw their garbage out their windows. I don’t get it. And, there was a trash bin about 20 feet away. Self-absorbed jerks! I’m sure they think they are above it, as they drove off in their expensive sports car. I wish the local papers would get together with the city to put together a shaming campaign. This isn’t about education. They should know better. They just don’t care. They are pathetic. In the meantime...I will clean up their garbage. Les Patterson Richmond

epairs to a leaky gas main south of Granville Avenue at Garden City Road are expected to delay drivers until Saturday. City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said the southbound portion of Garden City, south of Granville, is closed and the re-opening date is subject to change. FortisBC had been working on the issue since Jan. 13 and previously stated work would be done on Tuesday. “Trafﬁc control personnel will be on site 24 hours per day to maintain the integrity of the closures and restrictions. FortisBC staff will be on site 24 hours per day to monitor the site/leak,” said Townsend via email. The closure only affects the southwest portion of the intersection. The closure means no southbound vehicles can cross Granville Avenue; no vehicles can proceed eastbound on Granville and turn south onto Garden City; and left turns onto Granville from Garden City are also prohibited (use Cook Road to enter central Richmond). Local resident access south of the closure will be maintained via northbound Garden City Road. For more detailed information you can

After finding many city-owned properties were becoming besieged by unsightly charitable donation bins, Richmond city council is moving to implement a new bylaw aimed at kicking them off the curb. The bylaw was presented to councillors on Monday at a committee meeting and will head to council for final approval in two weeks. It proposes that only charities registered with the Canadian Revenue Agency may be permitted to place donation bins on city land. Bins must have signage to indicate what the charity does for the community and no third-party advertisements are allowed. The bin must also have a phone number for the charity in the event it becomes messy; if it does, the city will allow the charity up to 24 hours to clean up its mess before being hit with a $150 fine. The City of Richmond plans to license up to 50 donation bins, at $100 each, at specific sites across the city. Organizations with existing bins on city land will need to apply to have them stay put. The charities must also put down a $1,000 damage deposit per bin, to a maximum of $3,000. The city also will fine anyone placing a donation bin on city land without a permit to the tune of $475. The new bylaw is said to be revenue neutral.

aking ownership of your own health care is a topic common among many people these days. But even when that happens some are left wanting more answers to why they feel the way they do. Dr. Raj Jheeta, who has been a naturopath for 28 years in Richmond, has coined a phrase to characterize the situation. “Are you sick of being sick?” he asks. If you are and feel you’re not getting the information or care from conventional health care methods, perhaps naturopathy and its philosophy of preventative care is the route to go. Traditional care today is based on reactive medicine, says Jheeta, explaining that it means you look for a disease and respond to it. “Most diagnosis in the traditional system is done the same way,” Jheeta says. “If there is an illness present, you treat or manage it. “We grew up with that as a good philosophy for medicine,” he adds. “Go see the doctor once a year and make sure nothing is wrong with you.”

While that can be a powerful and effective process, what naturopaths do differently is evaluate a person to see exactly how healthy they are instead of how sick they are. “It seems simplistic, but it’s quite divergent in that traditional medicine is designed to see how sick you are and what should be done about it,” Jheeta says. “We’re trying to change the awareness to teach people how to Ynd out how healthy they are so they can potentially prevent a disease process from happening.” The get someone on the preventative path Jheeta can employ a series of tests — which are covered by extended health insurance — to We’re trying to determine an individual’s change the awarelevel of ness to teach people health. The testing how to Jnd out how includes: alhealthy they are so lergy testing; stress evaluathey can potentially tion; wellness prevent a disease assessment; and an evaluprocess from hapation on how pening. the environment may be – DR.

Evaluations show true picture From page 12 Then there’s the concern of how the environment is impacting your health with chemicals, additives and preservatives. “There, we can do another evaluation to Ynd out how toxic you may be, whether it’s chemicals, pollutants, or heavy metals, then implement programs to help you manage that,” he says. As far as the wellness assessment is concerned testing is done to see how certain markers change as you get older. “By doing those things, we can help about 90 per cent of the population, because in one way or another most people’s health issues are connected one or more of those evaluations,” Jheeta says. “Diet, stress, toxicity and your own genetic wellness are all huge. “You work on all four and people will always do better.” The quest to help patients with their conditions prompted Jheeta to write a book called The doctor of the future is here. Published last year, he says it forms part of his desire to teach people accountability and be engaged in their health care. “We’re so conditioned to be engaged in so many other aspects of our lives, such as Ynance, real estate, investments and retirement, or with children and their extracurricular activities,” he says. “But when it comes to health care, we’re not that well engaged in

here’s often a lot of talk about passion in the restaurant trade. But where you focus it is the important part when cultivating a recipe for success, according to Brett Turner, co-owner of of Droski/ Turner Hospitality Management, a leading hospitality management and event planning company. For Turner, he initially envisioned himself as a celebrity TV chef in the mould of Emeril Lagasse. “You know, cooking and being the guy. And I quickly realized that the business side of me is actually what I appreciated the most,” said Turner, one of four chefs taking part in the From the Kitchen to the Boardroom event hosted by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Richmond News, on Jan. 28 at the River Rock Show Theatre. It’s no surprise Turner gravitated to the industry — he grew up in the environment since both his parents worked as food and beverage managers. And he remembers helping set up a variety of events as a young teen, working for chicken strips and French fries. Today, the business is a tad different. The events are larger and the work as co-owner requires more than being good in the kitchen or with business skills. “I go by the title of co-owner and culinary director,” he said. “But if anyone knows the term co-owner, it can go from construction management and accounting to counselling and marketing.” That’s his working life now — a far cry from one that was focused on the kitchen. “For myself, I was younger and went to culinary school and got a job working at a ﬁne dining restaurant, and something clicked for me one day,” he said. “We used to order stuff in, whatever we wanted, and sell it for

whatever we wanted because it was a highpriced kind of place. It was all passion and not much numbers and I remember thinking I really want to learn more about the business behind it.” Not long after that, Turner was approached by Scott Morrison, co-founder of the Cactus Club, who wanted him to help with a new restaurant concept he was getting off the ground. “I came onboard and we travelled the world for a year to put together this concept and worked with some of the best chefs in all of North America, and that concept became Brown’s restaurant (Brown’s Social House). While that was a culinary tour de force, Turner said some of the best lessons he learned from that experience was the business side of the operations. Tickets for the From the Kitchen to the Boardroom event are $250 and include a unique dining experience put on by the four chefs, plus a question and answer session with Turner, Jackie Kai Ellis of Beaucoup Bakery, Quang Dang, executive chef at West, and Virkram Vij, who has established several, highly regarded Indian restaurants.

ambie Crusaders senior girls basketball team thrived in the role of spoiler, nearly winning it all at the Bob Carkner Memorial Classic. The Crusaders proved to be the surprise story of the eight team event, reaching Saturday night’s championship game before falling 67-54 to Valleyview. Cambie shocked the heavily favoured Kamloops school by jumping out to a 20-5 lead after one quarter. The Crusaders then took a 28-21 advantage into the third quarter when Valleyview finally took control by scoring 29 points. The Crusaders had opened the tourna-

ment with a big 52-32 win over the host Steveston-London Sharks. The girls then came out firing again in their semi-final encounter with John Oliver, racing out to a 19-5 lead after one quarter en route to a 57-34 victory. Daljit Auja and Aimrit Dhaliwal were named to the All-Tournament Team. The Sharks rebounded from their loss to Cambie with wins over Burnaby South (69-29) and Richmond High (63-43) to finish fourth. Anita Ip and Maggie Campbell were named all-stars. The Colts defeated Yukon to finish sixth.

Overtime again for Sockeyes & Steelers

Should the Richmond Sockeyes and Grandview Steelers collide in next month’s Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs, expect to see plenty of overtime in the bestof-seven series. The Sockeyes clashed with the Steelers for the third time in their last five games on Thursday at Minoru Arenas and each meeting has taken an additional period to determine a winner. Jeffrey Wong’s goal at the 3:35 mark of overtime lifted the Steelers to a 2-1 victory in tight checking affair between the Tom Shaw Conference rivals. The Sockeyes took a 1-0 lead into the third period thanks to a Noah Wozney power play tally. Grandview pulled even on its own man advantage opportunity, midway through the frame.

The Steelers handed Richmond a 4-3 overtime loss back back on Jan. 1 during the PJHL Winter Classic. The teams also battled to a 3-3 tie on Dec. 20. Despite Grandview (21-11-1-2) managing to earn two additional points, it only enjoys a three point lead on Richmond (18-11-24) for second place. The Sockeyes gained ground on the weekend with a 3-2 win over the Port Moody Panthers. Goaltender Kurt Russell’s 29 save performance earned him first star honours. Matthew Cox notched what proved to be the game winner midway through the third period. Kyle Uy and Brodie Crawford also scored. The Sockeyes return to action Thursday when the Ridge Meadows Flames are in town at 7 p.m

Sharks rally to capture Carker Classic MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

igel Boyd began 2016 having never won a tournament in over two seasons of playing senior boys basketball. Now he has tasted victory twice in as many weeks. The Grade 12 standout poured in 42 points Saturday night to lock-up MVP honours as the host StevestonLondon Sharks battled back for a 88-79 victory over the Byrne Creek Bulldogs in the championship game at the Bob Carkner Memorial Classic. The triumph came on the heels of the Sharks capturing the 50th annual

of a talented group of Grade 11s. “Grade 10 was kind of tough. It was a rebuilding season for us,” recalled Boyd. “Last year was really good in terms of development for Grade 12 guys like me, Taros (Johal) and Robleh (Ismail). Now, with (these Grade 11s) like Fardaws (Aimaq), Pierce (Strutt) and Daniel (Chen) it has all really come together.” It’s Aimaq’s 6-foot-9 presence in the paint that has opened up Boyd’s game even more. That was no more apparent than in the

The 6-foot-2 guard went through his growing pains, along with his team, when he was aged up in his Grade 10 year.

final against a Byrne Creek team that was lit up by Aimaq for 37 points a week earlier at the Chancellor. When the Burnaby school stunned the hometown crowd with an early 15-2 lead, it was the Sharks’ perimeter shooting that brought them back, with Boyd doing much of his damage from three-point range. Steveston-London finally seized control of the game early in the fourth quarter to win its own tournament for the first time since 2013.

ment team included the Sharks’ Fardaws Aimaq and

Pierce Strutt. Aimaq poured in 29 points in the final.

Hugh Boyd’s Pavel Prasad was also selected.

“Nigel didn’t have a great game the first time we played them,” said Sharks coach Mike Stoneburgh. He didn’t have one of those ‘Nigel Nights’ he is so capable of. “We knew they would be trying to take Fardaws away after what he did to them a week ago. They left Nigel open and he took full advantage by making them pay for it. He really took the bull by the horns in his last time playing in the Carkner.” There was plenty of pretournament hype of a potential championship game between the Sharks and No. 3 ranked Lord Byng. Steveston-London did its part with wins over John Oliver and Windermere, however, the Grey Ghosts were stunned by Byrne Creek in their semi-final match-up. The Bulldogs erased a nine point fourth quarter deficit with a 28-5 run to close out the game. They looked to be on their way to another upset until the Sharks finally heated up. “We were sluggish at the beginning and they had a lot more to play for,” said Boyd. “We kind of put it to them last time and were up by 35 at one point. This was a big game for them and it was big for us to come back the way we did.” The Sharks have elevated their game in the new year and Boyd credits a trip down south over the winter break to compete at big Seattle area tournament, hosted by Franklin High. “I think it was really good for us in terms of seeing a completely different level,” he added. “We realized there was so much room to play better and just seeing the aggressiveness they play with. We have come into the new year playing much hungrier now with more boarding and more running. We are playing a more American style of game.” Boyd has never won a senior boys playoff game in his career either. That should change next month when the Sharks host the Richmond Championships. At the buzzer… The Carkner All-Tourna-

OBITUARIES

GENERAL EMPLOYMENT WALTON, Harry July 31, 1929 − December 28, 2015

GOGULA, Jim 1956-2016 Jim passed away peacefully on January 10, 2016.

Born March 20, 1956, he would have been 60 this year. He leaves behind sisters Ilona and Bernadette, brother Stephen, and brothers-in-law William and Stefan, as well as nieces and nephews Alice, Brodie, Emily, Daniel, and Nikolai, and great-niece and nephew Hannah and Alek. He also leaves behind his beloved cat Charlie, and too many friends to count. Jim was an avid fisherman. Every year, starting in 1981, he took part in the CUPE 394 Fishing Derby. It took him until 2007 to finally win it. He was a loyal member of CUPE Local 394, and worked in the Richmond Water Services Department for more than 36 years in almost every capacity. A memorial service will be held at First Memorial Funeral Services Fraser Heights Chapel, 14835 Fraser Hwy, Surrey B.C, on Thursday January 21st at 1 pm. A special thanks to Dr. Alexiadis and the angels at the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice in Richmond, B.C. Jim will be missed, but everyone who knew him has been blessed.

Harry Walton left us on December 28th, 2015 surrounded by family and friends. Born in Fishburn, County Durham, England on July 31, 1929, Harry is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Ellen, his daughter Ann (Marc) Pellow, his son Rob (Jennifer) Walton, and grandchildren Connor, Brendan and Tim Pellow. He served with the British Army (16th/ 5th Lancers) in Egypt and upon his return subsequently joined the Merchant Navy to further explore the world. When he moved to Canada in 1957 he found his true calling as a pilot. That vocation moved the family to numerous locations around the globe. His zest for life and love of people gained him many faithful friends who showered him with love in his final days. A celebration of life will be held at The Buck & Ear Bar & Grill, 12111 3rd Avenue, Richmond, BC on Saturday, January 16th, 2016, 2:00pm − 5:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Richmond Hospital Foundation, the Salvation Army, or the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House, 6460 Number 4 Road, Richmond, BC, V6Y 2S9..
