School board joins anti-pot push Daisy Xiong

Staff Reporter dxiong@richmond-news.com

A

fter city council unanimously chose an anti-pot position in October, Richmond’s school board has also voted to oppose the legalization of non-medicinal marijuana.

All board members, except Debbie Tablotney and Sandra Nixon, voted yes last week to oppose legalization and “fully support” the city’s October resolution.

The school board’s stance was proposed by trustee Jonathan Ho, who’s also a member of the 2018 Marijuana Legaliza-

tion Concern Group, which is led by Coun.

Chak Au. Ho’s proposal included sending a letter from the school board to the three tiers of government (municipal, provincial and federal), in which they express their opposition to the forthcoming marijuana legalization and voice concerns over the impact on students’ health and safety.

More than 100 residents attended the school board meeting, at which a handful of parents spoke up, all supporting the board’s decision.

“Many parents have come to us and expressed their worries about the impact on students if cannabis is legalized,” Ho

told the Richmond News.

“I think it’s important for the school board to do something in Richmond and to voice our opinion on this issue.”

Ho said the legalization of marijuana sends the wrong message to students and conflicts with current education on drugs.

“We have a program called Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) delivered by the RCMP every year for students in Grade 5, providing an opportunity for them to learn about how drug use may impact their health and future,” added Ho. See Ho page 3

Site C solution in Richmond’s backyard? n Coun. Harold Steves says largescale geothermal projects can mitigate future power requirements in B.C., thus negating any need to flood the Peace River Valley for the Site C hydroelectric dam.

W

hat does a little-known, taxpayerbacked geothermal energy project in north Richmond have to do with the proposed Site C hydroelectric dam project?

According to Coun. Harold Steves, the geothermal energy being produced by the Lulu Island Energy Corporation (LIEC) is a glimpse of this province’s energy future and an example of why the over-budget mega dam is arguably not needed, as suggested by a recent review by the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC), an independent regulatory agency of the provincial government.

“BC Hydro says they won’t need the power (from Site C) for 15 to 20 years. By that time, we’ll have a lot of these energy alternatives working and we won’t need Site C at all. And the alternatives will be even cheaper by that time,” said Steves.

Site C is an infrastructure project proposed and started by the past BC Liberal government, without a review from the BCUC. Now, a post-construction review of the project by BCUC, published this month under the direction of the new NDP government, shows the initial $8.34 billion price tag now in excess of $10 billion, and potentially reaching over $12 billion.

Now, Premier John Horgan will need to decide whether to turf the project, which has already cost about $1.75 billion, or proceed.

Postponing the project is considered the most costly option.

Ending the project will cost another $1.8 billion, in addition to finding other sources of energy, according to BCUC. One source of energy can be found in reclaiming energy sold to the U.S. from Columbia River dams, noted BCUC. As well, “the (BCUC) Panel believes increasingly viable alternative energy sources such as wind, geothermal and industrial curtailment could provide similar

benefits to ratepayers as the Site C project with an equal or lower Unit Energy Cost,” the review found.

Queue Richmond’s geothermal ambitions.

LIEC is a subsidiary of the City of Richmond, which invested nearly $27 million in the Alexandra District Energy Utility (ADEU) — a 3,400-metre network of pipes beneath a West Cambie field on Odlin Road — to power 3,100 new residential units, a temple and a WalMartanchored shopping centre, with 19 megawatts of geothermal energy.

At ADEU, water and air is cooled underground in the summer and heated in the same pipes during the winter. Users pay LIEC rates set at or below existing BC Hydro rates.

Dividends paid to the city from LIEC over the next 17 years are expected to pay off the investment.

Steves said if Site C is built, rates are

likely to go up. This would allow LIEC to charge even more and pay off the investment faster. However, Steves said his preference is to keep rates lower than Hydro to show people district energy is more efficient.

Steves noted Richmond’s geothermal projects also create full-time, local jobs.

Reproducing district energy in other municipalities should more than offset any temporary and permanent job losses from Site C cancellation, Steves argues.

Steves added a regional solar energy policy can power old and new developments, including electric vehicles and household appliances.

But the councillor continues to face opposition from the BC Liberal camp.

Richmond-Queensborough MLA Jas Johal, a former LNG lobbyist and spokesperson, said more hydroelectricity is needed, even if the province were to tap into more renewables, which he supports

regardless.

“To arbitrarily shut down a clean energy source because of what we can do with geothermal would be naïve,” said Johal, noting natural gas must play a role in the global energy transition (Site C is expected to power proposed LNG plants (power to cool the gas into liquid).

Johal said the Site C plan should go ahead as planned.

Ho: All edible pot products should be banned From page 1 “On the one hand, we ask students to stay away from drugs including marijuana because it’s harmful to their health and future; on the other hand, it is legalized.

Then what is the message to students?”

Concerns discussed at last week’s meeting focused on marijuana-related products One Loc ation

and drug-impaired driving.

“We ask the government to ban all food products that contain marijuana,” said Ho. “For example, marijuana in cakes, candies, cookies and drinks because children may accidentally consume them,” said Ho. The board also asked for zero tolerance on drug-impaired driving, which, accord-

hap py

ing to Ho, increases the risks to children on the road every time they go to and from school.

As the federal government sticks to its July 2018 deadline to legalize cannabis nationwide, Ho said the board wants the government to take its concerns into consideration when writing the new legislation next year.

“All marijuana products must be clearly labelled and have warning signs similar to cigarettes,” added Ho. Tablotney, meanwhile, said she voted against the board’s stance because many teenagers are consuming marijuana right now and legalization could allow the federal government to monitor and protect them.

Foreign buyers remain resolute Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

F

Thank you u

Our veterans did not forget about us. Let us not forget about them.

Thank you to everyone in Richmond who took time to reflect, remember and honour those who served, and continue to serve, Canada during times of war, conflict and peace.

oreign influence in Richmond real estate remains strong and steady, according to recent data released by the B.C. Ministry of Finance.

Since April 1, foreign nationals have been involved in eight per cent of all residential real estate transactions in Richmond, which is the highest rate of any jurisdiction in B.C. By comparison, foreign nationals were involved in 3.4 per cent of all Vancouver transactions and across Metro Vancouver the rate was 3.3 per cent.

In Richmond, foreigners were involved in 318 transactions, whereas in Vancouver they were involved in 259.

From January to September, foreign buyers have paid about $36.2 million in additional taxes (from the 15 per cent tax introduced last August) in Richmond alone, meaning they’ve sunk roughly $241 million into homes.

The monthly rates appear to have stabilized following the Aug. 1, 2016, implementation of the foreign buyers’ tax.

In the months prior to August 2016, foreigners were involved in 24.7 per cent of all such transactions in Richmond.

In 2017, the average value of homes being purchased by foreigners has also declined, as more multi-family units are being targeted.

Since October 2016, all Richmond proper-

ties have increased in sale price by 10.8 per cent.

Single-family homes have remained relatively stable by increasing only 2.3 per cent (now averaging $1.69 million), however townhouses are up 12.6 per cent and condos are up 26.3 per cent. Compared to the same period in 2016, sales of single-family homes have dropped by about 25 per cent, while condo and townhouse sales have remained stable.

Jill Oudil, president of Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, said multi-family units have been a hot commodity among local buyers after the Government of Canada announced new mortgage stress tests (starting in the New Year new buyers must be able to afford mortgages with higher interest rates).

“Many buyers are trying to enter the market before the changes are in place,” said Oudil, in her last monthly report.

While the City of Vancouver looks to policies targeting non-residents, such as an empty homes tax and restricting pre-construction condo sales to local residents, the City of Richmond has maintained a supply-focused solution to the housing crisis.

While the public wasn’t given the option to consider foreign money and speculation as the “primary focus” for the City of Richmond’s Affordable Housing Strategy, in the “other” comments section of a public consultation survey, about one third (17/52) of respondents noted foreign investment and speculation as something city council should address.

A special thank you to those who contributed to Richmond’s Remembrance Day services.

Fundraiser could get a bit hairy Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

S

ince the passing of his wife, Melissa Hall Reykdal, just over two years ago, Eric Reykdal has not cut his hair.

Instead, Reykdal has grown it long enough to donate his locks to a child in need, via Wigs for Kids.

Melissa and Eric, 41, had been together for 17 years, but for the last eight years of their lives together, Melissa had been battling cancer.

It started in her breasts, moved to her bones and, finally, took to her brain.

“She was very strong and was amazing at what she went through in how she didn’t complain or anything. She just tried to live her life the best she could while going through a terrible illness,” said Eric, a week ahead of his big fundraiser at O’Hares Gastropub this Sunday, Nov. 19, from 3-5 p.m.

Friends call Eric “Bird” and judging by how much hair he has (he’s barely trimmed his beard) at the moment, it wouldn’t be a shocker if an actual bird was found living in it.

He will be joined by his younger sister, Shannon Reykdal, at the fundraiser.

“That’s what little sisters do; they get up there in big brother’s business,” chuckled Shannon, 33.

“Most people have been affected by someone in their lives having a terminal or life-threatening illness. If we can give back

a little bit then, why not?

“Melissa was so important in my life.

Watching my brother and her go through what they went through was pretty impactful on me. She was really important.”

Because Melissa loved children, Eric thought Wigs for Kids would be the ideal fundraiser, as children afflicted with cancer are helped tremendously by wigs to boost their confidence as they undergo chemotherapy.

Eric and Shannon are former Richmond High alumni and long-time Richmond residents, who are banking on their many connections to raise at least $5,000.

As of Tuesday, their GoFundMe page showed $1,675 raised in Melissa’s honour.

At O’Hares, the pair will auction off the right to cut their hair and there will be other fun, fundraising activities, including a 50/50 draw.

This week, any Fuggles and Warlock beer purchase results in a $1 donation, as well.

Eric thinks he’ll go for a buzz cut while Shannon also expects a lengthy cut. Stylists Jenny Kimeno and Kaley Pawluk will makeover their new, short hair.

While the two combined have lots of hair, it takes about 10 to 12 ponytails and about $800 to make just one wig.

Wigs for Kids is a private, non-profit organization relying solely on donations to make durable, custom hairpieces that look just as a child’s natural hair would.

The charity’s mission is to improve the quality of life for kids dealing with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses and to provide a free wig for every B.C. child who needs one. For more information, see WigsForKidsBC.com.

The Reykdal’s fundraising page can be found at GoFundMe/com/bnf7q-Wigs-ForKids.

Wigs for Kids at the Buck Wigs for Kids will be holding another fundraiser at the Buck and Ear Bar and Grill on Dec. 2, from 3-6 p.m. For a $20 ticket, you will receive a burger, fries and a beverage, as well as being privy to many door prizes.

A BIG,

BIG MISTAKE

The Canadian government’s plan to legalize marijuana is a big mistake.

Legalization brings marijuana plants, carcinogenic second-hand smoke and edible marijuana products right into Canadian homes.

Legalization means more marijuana in Canadian schools and in the workplace - not less. It means more young children exposed to marijuana - not less. Impaired driving crashes and the number of people of all ages using marijuana will increase just as been the case in Colorado State. The black market and marijuana related criminal activities will not be reduced - they will thrive just like they have in Colorado.

Denver Post headline - Crime rate in Colorado increases much faster than rest of the country. (07/2017)

The majority of Canadians do not want the federal government to legalize marijuana.

86.2% of 11,271 voters in November 10, 2017 Vancouver Sun “ Daily Poll” and 80.83% of 9,821 voters in Toronto Star “Reader’s Poll” reject the legalization of marijuana products. 2017 polls taken in Quebec also show majority support against legalization.

The majority of Canadians do not use marijuana and they do not support the commercialization, advertising or promotion of marijuana in their society. They do not want neighborhood pot stores or pot smoking lounges in their communities. They also reject the push to expand a “cannabis culture” in Canada. They do not want to see the cannabis leaf placed on the Canadian flag.

大多数加拿大人不希望联邦政府实施大麻合法化 Call the Prime Minister and tell him to stop the legalization of marijuana and stop Bill C-45 immediately.

It’s a Big, Big Mistake. This is your Canada act now. 这是一个巨大的错误。这是你的加拿大, 请立即行动。 Immediate actions you can take: Call Prime Minister JustinTrudeau at 613-992-4211 tell him to correct the mistake.

We're stinking up Delta Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

R

ichmond’s mayor is downplaying the impact Richmond may be having on increased odour complaints in Ladner.

Since March, the City of Richmond has been diverting its multi-family home organic waste from Harvest Power in east Richmond to Delta-based Enviro-Smart Organics.

And since about that time, Delta residents have increasingly become disturbed by foul composting odours, much like their Richmond neighbours.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he’s been told

by Metro Vancouver and city officials alike that Richmond’s multi-family waste is “clean,” meaning it has limited contamination and much of the meat scraps are mixed with yard waste for aeration to mitigate odours.

Enviro-Smart Organics and its new owners, Green for Life Environmental (GFL), were on the hot seat last Wednesday, at a public meeting, as angry residents vented their frustrations with the constant compost odours — known to cause Richmond residents headaches — that are coming from the facility.

It comes as no surprise to Coun. Harold Steves. “I’m not surprised at all. I would expect it,” said Steves.

“They’ve increased the amount of material going to Delta and now they have an odour problem, too.”

The public meeting, attended by more than 200 people at the Delta Town and Country Inn, was part of Enviro-Smart’s air quality permit application that Metro Vancouver urged

the company to apply for in the summer, following an uptick in resident complaints.

The meeting mirrored a public forum held

by Harvest Power last December.

Right off the bat, GFL officials were on the defensive as they tried to explain the cause of the odours and how to rectify them.

“I want to apologize for the odours that in fact our facilities have generated and the inconvenience that has caused any of you as far as those odours are concerned,” said Brian King, director of operations for composting operations at GFL. Steves said he believes the source of odours is meat and the fact both Harvest and EnviroSmart are open-air facilities.

“Composting food works everywhere else but here. Harvest and Enviro haven’t put money into inside containment. The whole system has grown too fast,” said Steves, who supported residential composting but said he opposed Metro Vancouver’s decision to allow meat products in food scraps.

“That’s where we’ve gone wrong,” said Steves.

Brodie said it is imperative to find the right technology to handle the waste (a new closedcontainment facility opened in Surrey).

Whereas Richmond has seen a grassroots group (Stop the Stink Richmond) to “stop the stink,” Delta has also seen the recent formation of an analogous group — Ladner Anti Foul Odour Group (LAFOP).

“There is so much pent up frustration and anger and disappointment in this community for Enviro-Smart, for Metro Vancouver, for Delta,” said Robert Skinner of LAFOP. — With files from the Delta Optimist

Marijuana isn't really that bad Dear Editor, Re: “City council sticks by anti-pot postion,” News, Oct. 25.

In your newspaper on Oct. 25, it stated the opinions of Richmond city council.

They believe that there should be stricter laws on marijuana.

Even more strict than the laws for cigarettes and alcohol.

This is something that I would have to disagree with, because marijuana is not nearly as bad for your health.

It has been proven to have many medicinal properties; way more than in cigarettes or alcohol.

For example, it can be used to treat cancer, depression, anxiety, seizures, arthritis and so much more!

Also, you can use a certain part of the plant for your health and it won’t get you high (CBD).

City council should not be so negative towards legalizing marijuana and they don’t need to put as many rules on it as

they think they do.

Instead, they should be focused on educating the community by showing adults how to use it properly and responsibly; similar to how it is advertised to not drink too much alcohol.

Overall, since marijuana will be legalized soon, we should all do our part and learn more about it.

Kristina King Richmond

City should hold its ground on pot Dear Editor, How naïve I have been to believe the intended purpose for drugs was limited to medical use and controlled by highlytrained and qualified medical professionals.

Some members of society have decided they know better and set up shop to grow, import, manufacture, produce, distribute and sell all sorts of recreational (?) drugs under the ineffective watchful eyes of a very expensive national government regulatory industry.

They require no product safety assessments, production licenses, business licenses, health inspections, tax collection/ remittance obligations etc., and no liability to society for any harm or injury caused.

On the other hand, Joe Innocent (taxpayer), including future generations, is charged with onerous personal responsibil-

ity to pay for the harm and injury resulting from the uncontrolled recreational drug industry.

Mr. George Pope stated in a recent letter to the editor, “There is literally zero evidence that marijuana causes any negative ills for society.”

Mr. Pope, how many people have been charged and convicted of impaired (cannabis) driving in Canada? Why not?

Could it be that no capable and reliable system (court qualified) has been available to test for cannabis and the rush is on to identify one?

I suggest a review of the Vancouver Sun’s Nov. 5 edition “Please Help Our Son,” together with medical study results identifying negative factors affecting brain development in adolescents from cannabis use may challenge your assertion.

The Nov. 3 edition of 24 Hours includes

a story with a theme “Don’t be the death of the party.”

It continues, “Fentanyl Kills — If you’re going to use, follow these TIPS: Don’t use alone/Start with a small amount/Do not mix substances, including alcohol — increases your risk of an overdose/Call 911 immediately if someone overdoses/Have a plan — know how you will respond in an overdose scenario/use at sites where help is available, such as Insite or SafePoint/Be prepared to perform CPR and/or administer Naloxone until help arrives.”

Mayor Malcolm Brodie and council, please hold your ground on this one.

You have my full support and I hope that of many others.

Good luck.

Ken McLennan Richmond

Small step in right direction Dear Editor, Last week. when most of Richmond’s planning committee voted to send the bylaw regarding home sizes on Richmond’s ALR lands back to staff for further information and more options for preserving land, we felt it was a small step in the right direction.

Staff were specifically tasked to look at options for smaller home sizes and home plates than allowed under the current bylaw.

They are also asking for the province to do their part to help municipalities deal with increasing speculation on farmland.

Councillors Harold Steves and Carol Day presented more information to the committee on the mansions that continue to be built under this bylaw (and emphasized that these are not farm homes), and in the end, nearly all members of the planning committee (Chak Au, Bill McNulty, Linda McPhail, Malcolm Brodie and Harold Steves), with the exception of Alexa Loo, voted to send it back to staff.

We welcome this positive step because it means that council is starting to give equal weight to the voices of the public and not just to the often-overwhelming voices of farmland owners and others interested in keeping farmland prices high.

Although we are concerned that many of the options requested are still not in line with the Ministry of Agriculture guidelines to protect against speculation and residential development of the ALR, it is a much-need-

n Members of Richmond resident group FarmWatch are happy with the direction city council is taking with home sizes on the ALR. File photo

ed step in the right direction.

Council is concerned about the footprint of these mansions on farmland, hoping to preserve land for the future.

While this is a very important goal that we all share, they still need some education on the fact that home sizes are tied to excessive and exponentially larger land pricing on farmland and that is a major issue in restricting agricultural activities.

So, while we heartily commend those councillors who voted in favour of sending

this bylaw back to staff, we will continue to monitor this situation in the coming months.

We will continue to advocate to the province and city on the issues around home sizes and footprints on farmland, we will be addressing the inequality of the foreign buyer’s tax on all land BUT farmland, and be asking for consistency to be established for all agricultural land across the region.

hit show from last year’s Vancouver Fringe Festival arrives at Gateway Theatre this week.

“It’s like a childhood story for adults,” said writer and performer Beverley Elliott.

The play Sink or Swim introduces the audience to five-year-old girl Smelly Elliott, who leaves the safety of her family’s farm for the chaos of a one-room schoolhouse. The young girl’s fears and foibles are revealed in a series of songs and poignant anecdotes.

Elliott said the name Sink or Swim comes from a story about water in the show, but it’s more of a metaphor about life.

“In every situation that’s given to you, you either have the choice to sink or you learn to swim,” said Elliott.

“It’s a metaphor about coming of age and rising to the challenges that you are presented with. Sometimes you fall down and you’ve just got to get back up again.”

All the stories are based on Elliott’s real experiences and she plays all the characters herself, accompanied by on-stage pianist Bill Costin.

“I go back and forth, acting the kid as well as narrating the story. I also play other characters such as the mom, the teacher, the bus driver and the police,” said Elliott.

She said she wanted to explore the first time a child leaves home as separation is an important theme in life.

“It’s funny that, for some reason, I have a crystal clear memory of Grade 1 while other times at school are kind of blurry,” said Elliott.

She remembers the big classroom where students from Grade 1 to 8 all studied together. Here, there were Grade 8 bullies, a scary teacher and a kind bus driver. A near-death experience was also performed in the play.

“We go through different ages during our lives. We separate from our parents, became teenagers, fall in love, get married and start a career,” added Elliott.

n Beverley Elliott writes and performs Sink or Swim, which aims to take the audience back to its schooldays. Photo submitted

“This play takes place in the time zone when you first realize you’re a separate individual from your parents.”

Elliott differentiates characters through voices and body language, and sings songs written by herself to express the feelings of the young girl she was.

“Sometimes I speak like a child, very innocently, and then when I’m playing the teacher, I become more aggressive, then I play my mom and become very caring,” explained Elliott.

Projected images on the stage also help bring the audience back to the 1960s, when the stories are set.

“It’s my story, but not just my story.

It becomes universal because it strikes a chord with other people,” said Elliott.

“Everybody has a mean teacher at some point, and everybody may encounter a bully at school, a kind bus

driver, a kind older person, or have a near-death experience.

“And people know a situation where there was a lot of fear that leads to an epiphany.”

Elliott hopes her play will make the audience start to think of their own experiences and tell their own stories.

“When I did the show at the fringe festival, so many people wrote me an email and said I have to tell you about a teacher I had or about this one time I almost drowned,” said Elliott.

“Theatre shows us our lives on stage. Even though the faces are different and the situations are different, the themes are often the same. It reminds us that we are not alone.

“I promise you this will be a very heart-warming show.”

Sink or Swim will be performed from Nov. 16 to 25. Tickets are $29 and are available at GatewayTheatre.com or by calling 604-270-1812.

ichmond Hospital’s surgical program is one of the best in North America, according to the American College of Surgeons national surgical quality improvement program (ASC NSQIP).

Garnering the “meritorious” distinction on Oct. 18, Richmond Hospital scored highly in eight surgical outcome areas for all surgery cases for the NSQIP performance period of Jan. 1, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2016.

“I feel so privileged to work with a team that has achieved this significant milestone,” said Dr. Brenda Wagner, senior medical director, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) Richmond.

“Everyone, from our pre-operative teams through to our operating and post-operative care unit to our postoperative care, including nurses, care aides, allied staff, cleaning staff, anesthetists, surgeons and the internists have worked together to ensure Richmond is providing safe surgical patient care.

“Going forward, we are going to include the whole perioperative team in our surgical quality meetings so we can continue to build on

this significant achievement.”

A total of 66 of 680 participating hospitals have achieved meritorious outcomes for surgical patient care in 2016.

Other hospitals earning the meritorious distinction include St. Michael’s Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, Mount Sinai in New York City, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and Duke University Hospital in North Carolina.

“I am so very proud of our entire Richmond surgical team,” said Gail Malenstyn, director of surgery, procedural care and medicine.

“This award is proof-positive that our collective dedication to improving surgical outcomes starts in our surgeons’ offices and continues through to the staff that works in our post-op units. Every single member of this team is focused on best practice.”

As a participant in ACS NSQIP, Richmond Hospital is required to track the outcomes of inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures and collect data that directs patient safety and the quality of surgical care improvements.

VOICESon Vocabulary

Have gun, have trouble SABINEEICHE In other words

T

oo often these days, when I turn on the radio I hear news of yet another lifeless body found in Metro Vancouver, in a house, a park, a car, on a sidewalk or a road.

It amazes me how frequently the residential core of Richmond is the site of such gruesome discoveries.

The sixth homicide of the year occurred in broad daylight, on Mother’s Day, near Granville Street, close to where I live. In October, Richmond’s eighth murder victim was found in a park off Garden City Road.

The police are immediately pressed to answer if the general public is in danger or not, if the killing was random or targeted.

These words are now invariably linked to crime. It wasn’t always so.

Random, in the 1500s, referred to great speed, and its roots are in the Proto-German “randa,” also the source of the German “rennen” (to run) and our verb run.

Target originated in the 1300s as a noun describing a small shield. In the 1600s century, it was used as a verb, as well — if you targeted someone, you were shielding them, the opposite of what it means today.

The round target commonly used in practice shooting is first recorded in the mid1700s, with reference to archery.

Another word we hear in connection with these crimes is gang, from the Old English “gang,” meaning a going, journey, passage (our words gangway and gangplank preserve the word’s original meaning; it’s also

preserved in the modern German “Gang,” meaning corridor or aisle). By the mid 1300s gang referred to items, such as tools, brought on a journey.

Three centuries later a gang was a company of workmen or a group of people traveling together. By the mid 1800s gangs had become bands of criminals.

Usually the killings, whether random or targeted, involve some kind of weapon, a word deriving from the Old English “wæpen,” meaning instrument of fighting and defense (it shares a root with the German for weapon, “Waffe”). Arms, a synonym for weapon, comes instead from the Latin “arma,” meaning armor as well as weapon.

When the police identify the weapon as a firearm, they’re referring to a portable gun.

The source of the word is the Middle English “gunne,” documented in 1339. Some suggest it’s a shortening of the Scandinavian female name “Gunnhildr,” formed from “gunnr” and “hildr,” both words for war.

Naming artillery after women has a long tradition. The cannon that the Duke of Burgundy presented to King James II of Scotland in 1454 was known as Mons Meg; between 1722-1838 the British land forces used a standard musket called a Brown Bess; and Big Bertha was the name of the World War I German heavy siege artillery.

Crime and murder — I’m a fan of them, but not when they leap off the pages of a novel or out of the TV screen.

And weapons? I prefer them safely locked up in the cupboard of history.

■ Fresh off winning another Vancouver and District title, the McMath Wildcats will host the top 15 teams in the province at the B.C. AAA Field Hockey Championships. Action begins today and wraps up on Friday afternoon.

a powerhouse for over a decade and won a pair of provincial championships. There is also interest at McNair and Boyd.

In the meantime, this week’s championships enhances the sport’s profile further. Sander was quick to praise the organizational work of Tania Webster for making the event possible.

After losing some key players to graduation, the Wildcats still managed to repeat as Vancouver and District champions with a 1-0 victory over Churchill last week. It was an impressive feat given the team has just three Grade 12s on its roster and it was a challenge on a weekly basis putting the minimum number

of players on the field.

Even a couple of Grade 8s had a heavy workload — none more so than goalkeeper Abby Pogor who was outstanding in the zone final, especially in the opening half when Churchill carried much of the play.

The Wildcats are led by team captain Dakota Chan and assistant Aish Sander. Both are provincial team players and the majority of McMath’s scoring chances come through them.

The backline is anchored by Grade 11 standout Samantha Trueman who is joined by Emma Fedoruk.

Grade 9 Hope Chan provides strong two-way play, as does Sarah Godfrey. Lara Schmidt is one of the

team’s top scorers, while Ellie Wan, Veronica Surette and Grade 8 Isabella Schaefer have also contributed to the attack.

Kate Schmidt has provided valuable versatility and Grade 10 Sabrina Fata always brings a high work ethic. Injured senior Maddie DiGiorgio will be a welcome addition for the provincials.

Short Corners…

Ironically, the provincials are taking place the same week longtime Richmond Field Hockey builder and contributor Nancy Carey will join her husband Lance (2015) on the Richmond Sports Wall of Fame. She is one of nine included in the 2017 class.

t’s a big week for a sport with a rich history in this city.

The McMath Wildcats are welcoming 15 of the top teams in the province for the B.C. “AAA” Field Hockey Championships. Games will be hosted at Minoru Park, Richmond High and King George Park. Round-robin action starts Wednesday morning and the top eight teams advance to Thursday afternoon’s quarter-finals. The gold medal game will take place Friday (3 p.m.) at King George.

The Handsworth Royals are the tournament’s top seed as North Shore schools have dominated in recent years. They are joined by No. 4 seed West Van and No. 8 Argyle.

At one-time, there were enough schools involved for Richmond to have its own senior girls field hockey league. While a shift in the city’s demographics led to most programs folding, the Wildcats continued on — joining the Vancouver League for regular season games.

McMath has more than held its own — benefitting from talent being produced by the Richmond Field Hockey Club and now a dedicated parent coach, currently in his fourthyear guiding the team.

“It’s been quite the juggling act, especially the past year with my job and working some long days, but I made the commitment to do this for five years,” said TJ Sander. “We are fortunate we get to play half our league games at Minoru and the rest are at (Eric) Hamber.”

Sander is hopeful the Wildcats will soon have local competition again.

There is talk of a team returning to McRoberts — a school that was

ichmond high school football coaches Bill and Bruce Haddow will conclude their four decade careers at B.C. Place Stadium. Exactly when will be determined over the next three weekends.

The brothers will lead the Hugh Boyd Trojans into their provincial “AA” quarter-final game on Saturday at noon against the Abbotsford Panthers.

Boyd advanced to the final eight with 49-14 wild card victory over Prince George’s College Heights in snowy Vernon.

The Trojans jumped out to a 28-6 lead and cruised to victory. Running back Austin Berry led the way with a three touchdowns. Quarter-

back Byron Ruvalcaba fired TD passes to Zach Jackson and Isaiah Daniels. Special teams also factored in on the scoring as Austin Galbraith returned the second half kickoff for a major and Tomo Takeuchi recovered Coleton Forrester’s punt block for another touchdown.

It was Boyd’s second trip of the season to the Interior city after taking on Vernon in pre-season play back in September. This time they were greeted by a snow covered field.

It will be perfection conditions at B.C. Place where the Trojans take on the Eastern Conference champion and No. 3 ranked Panthers.

Boyd will need a big afternoon from its run de-

fence. Panthers tailback Samel Uko ranks second in the province in rushing, averaging 172 yards per game with 21 touchdowns.

End Zone…

The Trojans were well-represented on the Western AA Conference All-Star Team with six selections. They include: Kameron Porbeni (defensive line), Ryan Jensen (linebacker), Isaiah Daniels (defensive back), Dayton Williamson (offensive line), Austin Berry (flex) and Reace Mok (running back).

Tickets for Saturday’s game are $10 pre-sale or $15 at the door. Advanced tickets can be purchased through the school.

Mainlands next for city champion McRoberts Mark Booth

hree provincial berths will be on the line when the McRoberts Strikers host the Lower Mainland AAA Girls Volleyball Championships.

The eight-team tournament gets underway at 1 p.m. on Friday with pool play. The top six advance to Saturday’s playoff round with the first place finishers from each group locking up semi-final berths.

The championship match takes place at 1:45 p.m.

Fresh off their impressive run at last week’s Richmond Championships, the Strikers are grouped with Crofton House, Prince of Wales and Rockridge. Crofton House is not only ranked sixth in the province but is hosting the upcoming B.C. “AAA” Championships. Should the Vancouver private school finish in the top three, the fourth place team will advance to the provincials. Fifth place would then be involved in a playoff next week for a wild card spot.

No. 1 ranked Little Flower Academy is the clear team to beat. Its pool group also includes McNair, Sutherland and Windsor.

As for the Strikers, they have an excellent chance of earning another B.C. berth after a dominat-

ing performance at the Richmond championships. They did not drop a set en route to the city title, including a 3-0 victory over host McMath Wildcats in last Wednesday’s title game.

The team includes: Chloe Mathews, Madeline Matthews,

Kate Dee, Elsie Gonzalez, Jeanna Tang, Renee Tang, Maya alibudbud, Sarah Mori, Selena Herrera, Veronica Lin, Jacqueline Tyrer, Olivia Lin. They are coached by Patrick Wong and assistant Stephanie Kliewer.

Mainland “AAAA” Championships, along with Steveston-London. The Sharks defeated MacNeill 3-1 in the third place game.

Meanwhile, Richmond senior boys champion Richmond Christian Eagles are on the North Shore for the Lower Mainland “AA”

Championship.

McRoberts is also hosting the Vancouver and District Junior Girls Championships on Wednesday.

The eight-team tournament is a single elimination format with quarter-final games at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. The semi-finals follow at 5:30 p.m. The championship and third-place match are slated for 6:30 p.m.

The host Strikers are joined by Richmond champion McMath and third place finisher Burnett.

McRoberts’ bid for a perfect run in city play ended with a 3-1 upset to the Wildcats. The Strikers took the opening set and McMath roared back to win the next three.

Burnett outlasted McNeill 3-2 to finish third.

Meanwhile, newly-crowed Richmond senior boys champion Richmond Christian Eagles are looking to continue their impressive season at the Lower Mainland “AA” Championships in West Vancouver.

The province’s sixth ranked team capped an unbeaten run in Richmond with a win over McMath in last Thursday’s final. The Eagles are favoured to add the Mainland title with Charles Tupper expected to be their biggest challenger.

The Eagles also took city junior boys honours by outlasting Burnett 3-2 in the final.
