Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s board of education ﬁnally passed its Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy, a policy that aims to help students of all orientations and identities feel safe and accepted in their school communities. Now, you might not think that ensuring kids feel safe and respected at school is a particularly radical concept, but when it comes to gender and sexuality — watch out. I suppose, we should have seen it coming.

Richmond is not exactly an activist city, so when more than a hundred people line Granville Avenue waving placards that read: “Quit Teaching Our Boys To Be Girls” or “Leave Our Kids Alone,” just ahead of a school board meeting, there’s a good chance said meeting will be hot. And hot it was. In fact, last Wednesday’s ﬁve-hour gathering, where trustees voted on the SOGI policy, got to the point where trustees couldn’t even speak for all the jeering and shouting. By the end, police had arrived. They didn’t have to intervene, but the fact they were called speaks to the level of threat in the room.

In other words, if you needed convincing that the policy is necessary, that meeting should have done it. The open hostility and lack of compassion or genuine dialogue was a wonderful example of the very problem trustees are trying to address. And this was among adults at a public forum with cameras rolling. Imagine what happens behind the school. At one point, one of the trustees suggested deferring the vote to allow for more consultation. Although the motion failed, it brings up the question of consultation. A couple of parents left the meeting so frustrated with the fact the policy passed, just two days later, they announced their candidacy for trustee in the October municipal election. The primary platform for one of the angry-parent-turnedcandidates, Ivan Pak, is greater consultation. He argues that parents should have a greater say in determining policy.

It seems to me there has been a ton of debate on this issue. And just because you didn’t get your way, it doesn’t mean you weren’t heard. Besides, I’m not sure more talking would even move the dial. Pak also claims that he could be a bridge between “Chinese parents and the mainstream.” We’ve been hearing a lot about bridge building of late, and it’s a great project. It’s also important to not assume any one person is speaking for any one group, or to attach Chinese parents to any particular political stance or construe criticism of any particular political stance as criticism of Chinese parents. This only fuels us-and-them thinking.

This debate’s not over. There’s more to come, especially as we get closer to the October election. In the meantime, perhaps we all need to take a lesson from one of the students who spoke through tears in the face of hostility at that school board meeting, as she told her story with conviction, dignity and respect. This is exactly what the SOGI policy aims to foster.

I support it. Because if seniors are being badly treated by others, you don’t want that. We can do nothing about it; we just get older, whether we like it or not. It’s the same for those students.

I think that’s great. I think that’s how it should be. I think acceptance of other things is best for everybody.

ECO TOUR GUIDE

I think the society is moving forward and choices are made at different times to meet certain needs. Now that the policy is proposed and passed by the majority, it shows that it’s neccesary. It might be proved to be wrong later, then it’s a lesson; it might be proved to be right, then it is a revolution.

I think the idea that we start to promote more gender neutral is a good step forward. But I can see the concern on the other side, that talking about these things with children very young can be confusing. But I do think that it’s something that is worth discussing.

Student braves heckling Give SOGI a chance: Trustee in her plea for safety Dear Editor, Last Wednesday night (June 27), the Richmond Board of Education voted in favour of implementing the long awaited Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy. I would like to thank Trustee Sandra Nixon for being the driving force behind this policy. District staff/management and our community stakeholders are also to be commended for their invaluable contributions. But most of all, I would like to thank those students who had the courage to come to the meeting and speak out on behalf of themselves and their peers. Given the emotional and at times hostile atmosphere, it had to be a very intimidating experience for them. Yet these students kept their composure. They were polite and well spoken, while still being respectful to those who did not share their views. I am most pleased that a majority of the trustees voted against the amendment to delay the vote til

Dear Editor,

September. To expect the students to come back and do this all over again would have been unfair, insensitive and heartless.

On June 27, parents and students of the community gathered as the board of education prepared to vote on the long-awaited Policy 106 (sexual orientation and gender identity), one that would address the unique challenges and risks faced by the LGBTQ+ students. Selected members of the audience addressed the board, each presenting reasons for and against the policy.

To those parents who were not in favour of the policy — please give it a chance. You made your points very clear as to your concerns and fears about the new policy — and the Board of Education has heard you. Rest assured, this policy will be closely scrutinized by everyone. If the policy is ﬂawed and/or creates safety concerns, the problems will be addressed. But these students shouldn’t have to wait any longer, while the adults try to draft the “perfect policy” (does one even exist?) or grasp the basic concepts of it.

The speaker who struck me the most was one of the many courageous high school students who braved the loud heckling from SOGI opponents. In tears as she spoke before the board, she said she had not yet come out to her family because they were very conservative. She also didn’t feel safe at school, where she was subjected to the constant barrage of homophobic bullying. She asked the board where she could turn if she couldn’t feel safe at home or at school.

With the exception of one or two districts, we are already a couple of years behind the other school districts in the province, in implementing a SOGI policy. We need to get started now.

There was a clear lack of understanding of the purpose of the policy (which is not a curriculum as most mistaken it to be), as well as a disturbing level of ignorance and fear of the unfamiliar.

While I’m pleased with the passing of Policy 106, the opinions expressed against the LGBTQ+ community still exist and won’t change overnight. We clearly have a long way to go towards educating many of the city’s residents on what it means to be respectful and show compassion for one another. We must also remember that in the midst of pushing our own standpoints that it is ultimately the safety of our children that is at stake.

Is it a bequest after it’s sold? Reasons for judgement were released last month in a case called Re Thorne Estate. In this case, the deceased died in 2009, with no surviving family. Two adult individuals were appointed attorneys under a Power of Attorney, and became the Executors after the death.

What happened, then, to the bequest? The Court held that since the net sale proceeds could be traced and identified, and because of the wording of the clause in the Will (see above), the gift remains as the deceased intended. In my opinion, the result here was appropriate, and this topic is always worth discussing in your own Estate and Will planning.

Some of the opposition to Policy 106 brought forth several untruths and contemptuous comments towards the LGBTQ+ community. Several argued that there was an agenda to indoctrinate and brainwash children. There was a reference to gender afﬁrmation surgery as “cutting off body parts.” One parent likened LGBTQ+ to a lifestyle, “a trend, like fashion.”

children, we teach them to be open-minded, sensitive, respectful, compassionate and caring of one another. The opposition to SOGI that night showed that many parents are not setting that example for their children. Despite the progress we seem to have made, I am truly saddened by the level of ignorance still running rampant.

In the Will, a goddaughter was left “the proceeds of sale” of the deceased’s residential home. Before the deceased died, however, he had to move to a care facility, and so the attorneys sold the home, using the funds partly to finance the care facility costs. Most of the net sale proceeds were kept in a separate bank account. emma

Why SOGI, when Olden days not so Charter will do? good for LGBTQ+ Dear Editor,

A Richmond News story about the school district’s new SOGI policy reads: “the policy not only has a zero-tolerance attitude against discrimination and bullying, but also seeks to help schools be more accepting of students’ sexual orientation and gender identity.” This seems a waste of public resources since the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom has the same function. Canada is a very inclusive, civilized society. Rights and Freedom of every resident are protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. According to the Charter, discrimination or bullying to any person is unacceptable. The fact SOGI is introduced implies the Charter has failed. If the Charter is not able to protect Canadian LGBTQ people from being bullied or discriminated against, then the Charter fails in protecting all Canadians. Will the school board also have a policy for non-LGBTQ? Obviously, there is no such policy, which proves the Charter is working. Therefore, why should we introduce SOGI?

If we initiate a policy for LGBTQ’s special needs, should we also have similar policies for other minority groups such as Canadian Chinese, Canadian Filipino, Canadian Indian…?

We are living in a world full of difference. Canada is famous for inclusion because each minority is accepted and different people live equally and harmoniously. If we have such policy for a speciﬁc group, aren’t we putting other people in a disadvantaged position? The common sense is every person’s legal right is protected on the condition of not offending other people’s legal right or the interest of the public. I am surprised Trustee Sandra Nixon, as an elected public servant, lacks that common sense. When I learned that there are more than 10 choices of gender in some parts of Canada, I was pretty sad. This is not equality or inclusiveness. This is messing up our beloved country with political correctness. Also, please do not mess up our innocent children before they are grown up and can make their own decision.

Dear Editor, Many thanks to the Richmond School Board members for endorsing and voting in favour of the SOGI policy (6 to 1) at the board meeting held at Burnett secondary on Wednesday, June 27. I also wish to thank the courageous students who attended, as well as Richmond’s medical health ofﬁcer for clearly delineating the reasons for instituting this policy; a policy which in no way impinges on the rights of other students, but gives some added protection to gay and transgendered students whose educational outcomes are reduced due to discrimination

and bullying (the rate of suicide and attempted suicide for gay boys is seven times higher than their heterosexual counterparts). Shame on those who attended and demonstrated so vocally against this policy, in what was a clearly a exhibition of veiled homophobia and discrimination. As a senior who attended Richmond schools during the 1950s and 1960s, I do not want to see a return to the institutionalized sexual discrimination of my youth, whereby you could be imprisoned on the grounds of “sexual perversion.”

much, and keeps on doing so. Show some pride, some appreciation, some allegiance. And show the colours! We just wished we had seen more red maple leaves ﬂying.

Clients of fraudster Dog sniffs out hash haul ‘far from victims’ Former clients of a Richmond-based B.C. consultant, convicted of one of the biggest immigration scams in Canadian history, insist they had no knowledge of his fraudulent activity, but the federal government says they are “far from being victims.” The legal battle currently brewing in Federal Court could have huge implications for potentially hundreds of Chinese immigrants who had hired Xun “Sunny” Wang, an unlicensed immigration consultant, to obtain Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status. Wang, who operated New Can Consultants Ltd. and Wellong International Investments Ltd. out of ofﬁces in downtown Vancouver and Richmond, B.C., was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2015 and ﬁned $900,000 after pleading guilty to multiple fraud-related charges. The scam involved making it appear as if his clients had spent the requisite number of days in Canada when, in fact, they had not. To pull that off, clients’ passports were altered — typically by adding fake exit and entry stamps. To further the impression some of his clients were living in Canada, fake letters of employment or school admission letters were created.

Three of Wang’s staff also received jail time and ﬁnes for their involvement. At the time, the Canada Border Services Agency said it was “the single largest investigation of immigration fraud in British Columbia’s history” and noted that some 1,600 clients had paid Wang about $10 million for fraudulent services. In the aftermath, investigators with CBSA’s Inland Enforcement Section pored through the list of Wang’s clients to identify those who misrepresented themselves in order to obtain or maintain permanent resident status in Canada. More than 500 were ﬂagged for possible inadmissibility. According to immigration lawyer Lawrence Wong, many subsequently received removal orders, some living outside Canada simply gave up their permanent resident status, while others are awaiting hearings or appeals. Only a handful have successfully appealed on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Wong believes the government has been unfairly lumping together individuals who knowingly conspired with Wang and those who were unaware of the fraud. — Douglas Quan/Vancouver Sun

A police dog named Hooper was Johnny on the spot at Vancouver International Airport recently when he intercepted what is suspected to be 23 kilograms (50 pounds) of cannabis being transported in outbound luggage, according to Richmond RCMP. The suspect, a male in his early 40s, from Windsor, Ontario was arrested after undercover police ofﬁcers noticed his “unusual behaviour” prior to boarding an outbound ﬂight to Toronto. “A Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Services (IPDS) unit was activated and assisted in locating approximately 23 kg (50 Lbs) of contraband believed to be marijuana (pending tests) packed in several suitcases,” noted an RCMP news release.

“Along with our uniformed patrol ofﬁcers visible throughout YVR, there are many plainclothes RCMP ofﬁcers deployed to maintain the safety and security of all the travellers and workers in and around the Vancouver International Airport,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang, of Richmond RCMP. While Canada is set to legalize personal possession and use of cannabis on Oct. 17, possession will be limited to 30 grams of dried cannabis (150 grams of fresh cannabis).

Until Oct. 17, possession of cannabis remains a criminal offence. “For a first conviction for possession of up to 30 grams, a summary offence, the maximum penalties are a fine of $1000 or 6 months in jail, or both. But the penalty for a first offence is usually much less. For a second offence, the maximums are a $2,000 fine and one year in jail, or both,” noted CBA.

Seismic upgrades kill new school the difference.

Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

The Richmond School District is abandoning plans to build a new City Centre elementary school in downtown Richmond as it wrestles with the reality that 39 schools — and not the 25 previously thought — require seismic upgrades. The district is also considering selling off excess land to help pay for facility repairs. District staff are now recommending expanding existing schools that surround the downtown area, rather than purchase a new property in the Lansdowne Centre area. Board of Education chair Eric Yung said the district had to move forward with a plan, “to have something,” but this is not “the end of the conversation” for a new City Centre school. The district had intended to use the $41 million from the 2013 sale of Steveston High to build a City Centre school. The problem now — according to the most recent long-range facilities plan approved by the Board of Education Wednesday — is that a two-acre parcel of land will cost $60 to $175 million, and there are no guarantees that the Ministry of Education will make up

Community activist Kim Nowitsky, of Richmond Schools Stand United, a parent-led group dedicated to seismic upgrades in Richmond, chalked the problem up to poor city planning and delays by the provincial government to buy land. New schools are generally funded out of general tax revenue. The City of Richmond does not demand space for schools as part of community amenities; only small fees are charged for each new unit. For instance, a high density development is charged a “school acquisition rate” of $463 per unit.

major earthquake. Another round of assessments for the 15 schools is expected to be completed this summer, which should ﬁnalize costs, according to Yung.

Adding such spaces will relieve what is expected to be a 1,132 space shortage by 2032 in the City Centre.

Meanwhile, the district is also coping with limited space at its administration building on Granville Avenue.

But Nowitsky fears many students will end up in portables and kindergarten enrollment will be shut down for new, in-catchment families, as is already the case at four other schools.

The 35-year-old facility is a high seismic risk and lacks sufﬁcient parking.

There’s no incentive for developers to speak to the board.

Meanwhile, the district has identified 15 schools to seismically upgrade over the next five years, at a cost of $176 million. Plans for four schools ERIC YUNG Ferris ($6.2 million); Tomsett “In situations like the down($9.5 million); Mitchell ($9.7 town core that proves challenging,” said Yung. “There’s no incentive for de- million); and Steves ($11.3 million) have already been submitted to the ministry for final velopers to speak to board.” approval.

District staff recommend disposing of surplus land to pay for facility upgrades. The report speciﬁcally targets the former Kilgour elementary site, presently leased to the Conseil Scolaire Francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CSF), the French-language school board for all French schools in B.C. The district’s challenges also include enrollment management. While six westside schools are running at below 60 per cent capacity, City Centre schools are overcapacity. As well, Hamilton elementary will be overcapacity by 2025. The district intends to deny new transfer requests and new international student requests. This year (2017) the district accepted more international students than ever — 1,021. Since 1998, when enrolment was at 22,773, overall enrolment to 2017 has declined 14.4 per cent. By 2032, it is expected to rebound 11.5 per cent (to 21,738).

Neighbour fed up with ghost house Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

For six years, Richmond resident Laura Gillanders has helped her neighbour pick up letters scattered on their property and pushed their green bin off the sidewalk. But she’s never been given a word of thanks. In fact, Gillanders has never even met the neighbour. Half a block away from Alfred Dixon elementary, the house never has its lights on or windows open. Someone broke a window, and it took weeks until it was ﬁxed, recalled Gillanders. She assumes no one lives there, and the green bin Gillanders and her children have to step around on their way to school, constantly reminds her of that fact.

“The bin is always there on the gravel. The gardeners left it out on Wednesday for the city to pick up on Monday, and it was left there afterwards,” said Gillanders. “I push it back every single time, because it’s in our way. There is no sidewalk. You have to either walk around on the wet grass in the morning or on the road, where a lot of cars are driving to and from the school.” She also picks up letters and ﬂyers blown out of the mailbox from time to time, and puts them in the yellow recycling bag. “In the ﬁrst few years, I felt like I was being a good citizen and a good neighbour,” Gillanders told the Richmond News. “I thought one day I would meet them and tell them ‘I have been putting your green bin away,’ and explain that ‘you need to put it out on 15

“But it’s been six years now, and I’m just frustrated and sad that a family can’t live there. (The owners) are obviously not interested in living here or having anything to do with our neighbourhood. Now, I’m starting to feel resentful.” The breaking point was when the bin, full of grass, was knocked over and spilled everywhere. The grass was left for ﬁve days. Finding it too heavy to lift the bin herself, Gillanders called the city. “They said they would leave a note, noting that the bin was put out too early. But no one ever sees the note because no one lives there,” said a frustrated Gillanders. “People talk about speculation tax. I don’t know much about it. Maybe it will help if they get ﬁned or taxed, so they are more likely to rent the place out to people who will take care of their own green bin.” The City of Vancouver brought in an “empty homes tax” in 2016 as a tool to encourage owners to rent out their empty homes. Those who are not using a house as a principal residence, or who have not rented it out for at least six months in the past year, will be charged one per cent of the assessed value. However, such tax does not exist in Richmond yet. “At this point, we have not received any

direction from council to consider an Empty Home Tax or similar mechanism,” said Ted Townsend, City of Richmond spokesperson. “As this approach is largely untested, we want to wait and see the effectiveness and impact of such measures, such as Vancouver’s newly introduced empty home tax, before determining if such measures would be appropriate for Richmond.”

Empty house owners in Richmond may fall under categories for B.C.’s speculation tax introduced by the NDP government in February, which is 0.5 per cent of a house’s assessed value for local residents, one per cent for residents outside of B.C. and two per cent for foreign buyers. However, when this tax is expected to come into effect has yet to be announced. As for now, neighbours of unsightly houses in Richmond can make a complaint to the city’s bylaw department, according to Townsend. “If an investigation determines a property is deemed unsightly…we usually attempt to work with the owner to bring the property into compliance and then graduate to enforcement if that doesn’t happen,” said Townsend. “Ultimately, the city can undertake a cleanup directly and costs are applied to the property taxes, but this happens rarely as most property owners usually voluntarily comply.”

Non-resident births are at 22 per cent Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

Proposed Person Capacity: Type of Entertainment:

Non-residents paying to give birth at Richmond Hospital accounted for 22 per cent of all births last year, up from 17 per cent the year prior.

Residents, property owners and business owners may comment on this proposal by writing to:

In the 2017/2018 ﬁscal year, Vancouver Coastal Health reported 474 babies born in Richmond to 469 non-residents, who were invoiced $6.2 million, of which $1.1 million has yet to be paid, according to ofﬁcials.

Non-resident births exploded in Richmond in 2014. Over the past four years, Richmond Hospital has birthed 1,493 babies from non-resident mothers, accounting for 17.6 per cent of all births (8,493).

To ensure the consideration of your views, your letter must be received on or before July 28, 2018. Your name and address must be included on your letter. Please note that your comments may be made available to the applicant where disclosure is necessary to administer the licensing process.

Widely thought to be foreigners — largely from China, seeking to gain Canadian citizenship by birthright for their newborns — an online Parliamentary petition ending July 17 seeks to have the federal government condemn the rising rate of birth tourism and explore methods to discourage the burgeoning cross-border business.

The petition was created by local community activist Kerry Starchuck and is sponsored by Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido. Richmond is home to several birth houses. As part of advertised month-to-month accommodation packages, birth house operators typically assist women coming from overseas to give birth to an “anchor baby.” It is not illegal to enter Canada to give birth, but it is illegal to misrepresent your intentions, according to Canada Border Services Agency. Starchuck is opposed to the practice on ethical grounds and Peschisolido has called it an abuse of the immigration system, although he wants to maintain birthright citizenship. Non-residents are required to make a pre-payment deposit of $8,200 for a vaginal birth and $13,300 for a caesarean birth. They are required to pay all hospital costs and medical care for the mother and baby, according to VCH spokesperson Carrie Stefanson. Not all the bills are being paid, however, particularly when costs exceed a routine birth.

“It’s important to note that the larger value maternity cases arising from complications skew the VCH recovery statistics,” said Stefanson.

“This may not reduce demand on our services but it will help us be more proactive in our planning.

VCH is presently suing a woman for skipping out on a $312,595 neonatal bill in 2012. The claim could be worth as much as about $1.2 million, including interest. The News understands that VCH has no way to ensure security against a large maternity bill. A baby of a non-resident does not qualify for public health insurance (MSP). “Vancouver Coastal Health will never deny urgent and emergent care based on ability to pay or where a patient is from, but we do expect to be compensated as we are accountable to B.C. residents for hospital and health care services,” said Stefanson. “We are committed to collecting com-

“Most women pre-register and receive prenatal care.” Nationality isn’t routinely tracked, but a tabulation by hospital ofﬁcials in 2016 showed Chinese nationals accounting for 98 per cent of non-resident births. According to some birth house operators, Richmond is a popular location for Chinese nationals due to the city’s multilingual services and proximity to China as a Western country that allows such automatic citizenship.

SOGI passes, despite opposition More than 600 people cram into school to express their views on LGBTQ+ policy Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

A final draft of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy, a policy that aims to create safety and acceptance for LGBTQ+ students, was passed by the Richmond Board of Education in a 6-1 decision after an intense, five-hour discussion last Wednesday night. The gym of Burnett secondary school was fully occupied, with more than 600 people attending the school board’s meeting. Almost 90 people with differing views spoke to trustees about the policy, and all speakers were applauded loudly by their supporters during, or at the end of, each presentation. In fact, police appeared on the scene towards the end of the meeting when some trustees couldn’t speak due to the insistent and aggressive heckling by people opposed to the policy. At the end of the meeting, Trustee Sandra Nixon moved a motion to pass the final draft of SOGI, which was seconded by Trustee Donna Sargent and voted for by all trustees except Jonathan Ho. Trustees voting in favour of the policy said it had been created in consultation with parents, students, staff and the community and will foster awareness and under-

Richmond school board heard from both sides of the SOGI divide last week at a packed Burnett secondary. The public meeting, to decide the fate of the proposed policy which aims to create a safer school environment for LGBTQ+ students, got heated at several points during the ﬁve-hour long discussion. Ultimately, the board voted in favour of implementing the policy. Daisy Xiong photo standing “so that some of the most vulnerable students can attend school without fear.” Ho, however, said more consultation is needed, given how many parents expressed their concerns. He proposed deferring the vote to September but was only supported by trustees Alice Wong and Eric Yung. Many speakers, including some from the LGBTQ community, told stories of their own or of people they know who have been bullied or harassed at school for their sexual orientation. They said the SOGI policy is urgently needed in Richmond.

Richmond school trustees voted 6-1 in favour of implementing SOGI, despite one of them, Alice Wong, later claiming she voted ‘yes’ by mistake.

A representative from Vancouver Coastal Health also stated that evidence shows people from the LGBTQ community do not enjoy the same health outcomes as others and a policy like this will mean better outcomes for them. Meanwhile, many parents opposing the policy fear it

will privilege LGBTQ+ groups over others and promote “gender ﬂuidity” among children, and even “teach students to cut off their body parts.” Some accused the school board of “taking away parental rights.” Sargent said she is “very sad” to see that some members of the community have been misinformed about the policy. “SOGI is not a curriculum; it’s not something teachers will be teaching,” said Sargent. “It’s not a document from the Ministry of Education that says ‘this is what the curriculum shall say and this is what teachers will teach.” Rather, the policy is a means of ensuring all schools are safe and caring environments for all students, including LGBTQ students, she added. Sargent was interrupted multiple times by angry audience members denouncing the SOGI policy and others making a show of standing up and leaving while she spoke. The crowd calmed down after two policemen appeared on the site. Just before the public hearing, around 100 people protested outside of Burnett against the policy, led by Vancouver advocates, with a slogan “Stop oppressive gender indoctrination.”

Trustee Wong votes for SOGI policy ‘by mistake’ Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

During an interview after Wednesday’s school board meeting, Richmond Board of Education Trustee Alice Wong told the Chinese newspaper Sing Tao Daily that she voted in favour of the SOGI policy “by mistake.”

In the Sing Tao story, it stated that “Wong told the reporter, because the process that night was so long and the vote took place after 12:30 a.m., [she] ‘raised her hand by mistake’ to vote in favour of it amid the chaos.” The article also stated that Wong “hopes parents are aware of her constant efforts to handle every policy carefully.”

After a five-hour discussion, the final draft of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) policy, a policy that aims to create safety and acceptance for LGBTQ+ students, was voted for by all trustees, except Jonathan Ho, on Wednesday night. At first, Ho moved a motion to defer the vote to September in order to allow more time for consulta-

favour of the SOGI policy and voted to defer it earlier because he wanted “more time for parents to learn about the merit of it.”

tion. Wong seconded and voted for the deferment motion, which was also supported by Eric Yung, but it was defeated at 4-3.

Wong, however, didn’t comment on why she voted for it at the time.

After that, the chair called for a ﬁnal vote to pass the SOGI policy. Trustees, including Wong and Yung, voted in favour of it. Yung explained in the

Trustee Alice Wong meeting that he was in

Parents upset with SOGI result run for trustee Two parents coming out of last week’s SOGI meeting “feeling disappointed” announced Saturday they will run for school trustee in October’s election.

ment. Pak told the Richmond News that he thinks the division among people on the issue shows “trustees haven’t done enough work.

“I’m very disappointed with the SOGI policy implemented in our district...no trustees other than Ho were willing to amend the policy to relieve parents’ concerns,” wrote Ivan Pak in his announce-

“A trustee said many parents have received misinformation, but what was the trustee’s solution to that? I think this is the school board’s responsibility to ensure that parents were informed,” said

If you are truly serious about being a professional REALTOR®, RE/MAX is the way to go!”

MICHAEL COWLING

Pak, who runs an IT company in Richmond. He added that although the school board had hosted numerous consultation sessions on the policy since it was introduced, he questions their efﬁciency, claiming “many parents were not involved in them.” “If I’m elected as trustee, I will reach out to parents instead of waiting for them

to reach out to me, maybe through the parent advisory council of each school,” he said. “And I will emphasize parents’ voices, compared to others in the public, since we are the stakeholders, and it’s our kids. We should have a right to say what we want or don’t want for our kids.” Pak said language challenges also needs to be ad-

dressed to eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings. “We have a large Chinese population in Richmond, and many parents are new here without perfect English.” Pak added, that while “the original SOGI policy draft had both English and Chinese, but no Chinese version for the ﬁnal draft. I think the school board can do better than that.”

Pak said people, such as himself, who are “ﬂuent in both languages and understand different cultures” can be a bridge, giving “Chinese parents a voice and conveying mainstream values to them at the same time.” James Li, another trustee candidate, said he’s not ready to speak to the media. — Daisy Xiong/Richmond News

The Phyllis Taylor Scholarship, the foundation’s largest, was awarded in full for the first time this year, with Rose Morgan, Hailey Fowler, and Mallory James each receiving $5,000, so they can further their education in the musical and performing arts. Taylor, a first-class pianist and long-time Richmond music teacher who passed away in 2004, established the scholarship in her will, to provide financial assistance to local performing arts students. “I am so honoured to be one of the recipients chosen to carry on Phyllis Taylor’s legacy,” said Fowler. “I will be going into my final year in my theatre studies at UVIC this fall, while continuing to volunteer in the front of house area at local theatres, and am excited to take on the acting industry full time in spring 2019.” The foundation also announced six winners of its Ethel Tibbits Scholarship, which is awarded annually to Richmond women seeking to upgrade their education or job skills, so they can better support their families. Among the recipients were two students from the Colts Young Parent Program, and four mature students entering the Richmond Education Assistant Program, offered through the school district’s Continuing Education Division.

Initially, only one $750 scholarship was available, but foundation supporters responded enthusiastically to a last-minute call for donations, contributing an additional $3,000 to the scholarship fund. “With so many deserving applicants and several who might not be able to carry out their education plan without an Ethel, we knew we needed to do something,” said Julie Halfnights, chair of the foundation’s Scholarships Committee. “We’re humbled and so appreciative of those who responded to our call.” Finally, the foundation awarded 47 scholarships to Richmond high school students, worth a combined $27,650. Again, diversity was the overarching theme, with scholarships supporting students enrolled in the social sciences, ﬁne arts, vocational studies, and a range of other ﬁelds.

Chiropractors See Patients that Have Q: Do No Symptoms?

Q: One offer is great! Is two

Of course… but some people may not understand why. Some individuals haven’t yet understood chiropractic and still are stuck in the thinking… that chiropractors are people you see only when you have neck or back problems. The truth is that everyone needs chiropractic care on a regular basis from birth and throughout their life. Because the objective of the chiropractor is to find and remove nerve interference and this interference is caused by stresses that we all experience regularly we all need regular chiropractic care. Better brain body communication means our body better self-heals and self-regulates. Researchers in Germany asked the same question. They chose 19 chiropractors who together saw an average of 3,100 patients per week. The results of the study demonstrated that nearly 94% of the patients in this study had subluxations that were producing no symptoms.

Dr. Carol Reddin

What science tells us in the Hause study on “pain and the nerve root” is that compressed nerve roots can exist without causing pain and described a mechanism of gradual progression where mechanical changes to the nerve that leads to microcirculatory changes, and where inflammatory agents may result in chemical radiculitis.

#230-7480 Westminster Hwy. Richmond, B.C.

604-207-9050

The Hause research study showed that interference to spinal nerves, including those nerves that innervate your body’s organs and glands, can exist without creating any pain whatsoever. The moral of this story: Every human being should have their spine checked regularly by their chiropractor to remove interference. So call for your complementary consultation by July 31st.

“Compounding” is the art and science of custom-making personalized medications from scratch by trained personnel using quality ingredients. The ingredients are mixed in the exact strength and dosage form required for therapy, and the final product can be a capsule, liquid suspension, suppository, lozenges and troches, topical cream, soft chews, lollipops, etc. At Pharmasave Steveston Village, this means both prescription and nonprescription medications can be personalized for you and your pets.

Compounded specialties at Pharmasave Steveston Village range from medications in strengths or combinations not available commercially (eg. low doses or flavours for kids; medications for pets; and, elimination of allergens), to those not available on the market any longer (eg. “Pyridium” aka. phenazopyridine for urinary tract pains associated with infections; or, “Bonamine” aka. meclizine used for nausea and vomiting associated with sea- or motion-sickness), to custom paingels and hormone therapy for specific needs of each individual. Come see one of our compounding pharmacists for details. Christine and Fred Cheng are a passionate, charismatic sister-brother pharmacist team at their unique, family-owned and operated Pharmasave stores in Cloverdale and Steveston, B.C.

The only reason I can think of where it isn’t better is when a Buyer chooses not to compete, and walks away (or both walk away) I would say that’s rare, and there really isn’t anything you can do about it. You have to hope that their Realtor™ makes them understand that competing is better than not taking a chance at all, right? When a Buyer is in a competing offer situation, they should write their very best offer, price, dates, inclusion, details.. and hope it’s the offer that you, the Seller, choose to work with. Besides price, other things to consider when a Buyer writes an offer include conditions, down payment, do their dates match yours?.. are they pre-qualified? Included items (has the Buyer asked for too much?) Remember it’s business, and keeping things simple and only about the home, not the furnishings..make it much stronger. As a Seller’s Realtor™, it’s my job to make sure you don’t miss any of the details that might affect you, and make sure we concentrate on the best offer for YOU. I’m here if you have any questions at all .. ask the questions now, before you are in a position where you get no time to think things through.

that I did not understand. What are RADARs, replacements and low numbered notes?

Every profession has its own terms they use and ours is no exception. This month I will list and explain as many of the terms used for banknotes as I can. Next month I will do the same for coins. Low numbered notes are bills with serial numbers below 500. The most expensive number is 0001 and they sell for around $1,000.00 each. For each number after that the value diminishes until about # 500 where there is no premium above the collector price of a regular note. A solid number is a note where all the numbers are the same, such as 11111, 22222 etc. Most solids in new condition also sell for $1,000.00 and up. However for Canadian notes with 7 digits in the serial number if only 6 are the same with 1 different they only retail for $20.00 approximately. RADARs are notes where the serial number reads the same forwards as backwards, such as 1234321 or 1125211. A solid is also a form of RADAR. RADARs with only 2 different numbers in the serial number are worth more than ones that have 3 or 4. Canadian notes can only have up to 4 different numbers in them but American can have 5 different. Replacement notes occur when a bill is damaged during printing. Banknotes are printed in sheets 500 deep (used to be sheets of 40, now 32) and with their numbers jumping 500 as you go across the sheet. To keep the counts in stacks consistent with the printings, a replacement note is inserted for every damaged banknote. From the 1950s up to the 1970s these replacement notes were identified by an asterisk (*) in front of the serial number prefix. In the late 1970s and 1980s an X as the third letter in the serial number prefix (ex. ABX or EBX) identified a replacement. These are all very collectable and prices are determined not only by the condition but by the prefix letters of the bill. Some prefixes are much scarcer than others. Last are Test notes. These are issued to test different papers and how they wear during circulation. For the 1954 notes, only $2 notes had test versions and their prefix are E/R, G/R and S/R. These test notes range from $35 to$10,000 dollars. For the 1972 $5 the test note prefix is RS. Note that only a specific range in these prefix’s are actual test notes. For the 1973 $1 bill all prefix’s AXA and EXA are test notes. JIM

Q: A:

PERSONALIZE MEDICATIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR PETS What exactly is pharmaceutical “compounding”, and how can it benefit me?

A major problem with compounding is that many pharmacies claim they “can compound” but compounding is not fully regulated in Canada, so it is up to you to choose a pharmacy that truly knows what they are doing because a slight mix-up in calculations or deviation in formulation could have dire consequences. How can you tell if a compounder can be trusted? A good place to start is to see if they are a member of the Professional Compounding Centers of America (“PCCA”). Membership is only granted to independent pharmacies whose team has completed stringent training and who compounds with passion using the highest quality ingredients, and dedicated tools (eg. Mazerustar Planetary Mixers, ointment mills, electric mortor and pestle; capsules machines… Youtube these!). It is like choosing between a fine restaurant using quality ingredients, as opposed to a fast food restaurant using questionable ingredients, except in this case, we are talking about medications that could have a cascade of reactions in the body, both beneficial and adverse.

There are no provincial regulations that prohibit the scattering of cremated remains by land, sea, or by air, however some municipal by-laws may prohibit. This decision should be carefully considered. Cremated remains should not be scattered on private property without permission.

Please comment on some specific anti-aging services at Richmond Cosmetics in Ironwood Medical Clinic?

Dr. Manoj Singhal is the Medical Director and Cosmetic Specialist and performs all of the clinic’s procedures. For many it all starts in the cheeks with refilling the lost volume creating higher cheek bones which improves facial attractiveness. We use fillers to lessen the bags under the eyes and allow for a more refreshed youthful appearance. Other common areas are the lateral mouth and “marionette lines” to allow for a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Q: Is Seasonal (Cottage) Insurance important? A: Absolutely!

Q: As we can finally see sunshine again, my thoughts

Some factors which impact price are proximity to a fire hydrant/ fire hall, primary source of heat (wood stove) and the kind of coverage you choose.

this winter, we are all looking forward to summer BBQ’s! A: After Having a gas hookup in your backyard is a great thing to have.

Seasonal dwellings are your home away from home. How it’s insured depends on a number of things. Is it used year round? How often are there?

Make sure to ask your broker which coverage is available from basic to broad coverage, as different perils apply. A Basic policy has limited water damage and does not include theft. A Broader policy may require you to occupy the dwelling every 60 days. Remember to insure detached buildings (shed, Suzanne Lima, garage), contents and other important items like watercrafts and ATV’s as CAIB, CIP Branch Manager – often these are not included. With the fear of forest fires lurking around the corner, don’t delay in getting your cottage insured. If a fire is raging nearby, insurance companies won’t offer coverage until the fire threat is gone. The Central Agencies Ltd. team is available 7 days a week to assist you with placing coverage and answering your insurance questions.

We prefer to call ourselves licensed “professional investigators” as the perception people have of our industry has been warped by fiction and television.

As a Strata Council we are confused and do not know the difference between a Depreciation Report completed by a Professional Engineer or an AACI designated Professional Appraiser or CRP (Canadian Reserve Planner) designated Professional? Can you clear this up for us?

A reserve fund study or Depreciation Report should not be confused with such studies or reports by Engineers as Technical Audits, condition reports, Building Restoration Reports, Facilities Assessments, Environmental investigations, engineering Studies, Construction deficiency Reports or construction specifications. Engineers centre more on the site improvements of a strata complex and usually place less focus on property value implications and impacts. AACI designated Appraisers and CRP (Canadian Reserve Planners) professionals utilize a functional financial Uniformat style of Depreciation Report which provides multiple methods of funding to Strata council along with a complete life cycle analysis of all the site improvements. AACI designated professional Appraisers and CRP professionals are also qualified to advise the strata council on property value impacts resulting from the advice given in the Depreciation report. A reserve Fund Study or Depreciation Report in the Uniformat style is primarily a financial document which should provide a reliable cost estimate and projection for reserve funding purposes. It is technical only to the extent that reserve components are recognized, quantified and evaluated. The Depreciation report is a financial plan which provides conceptual framework, detailed descriptions of reserve fund requirements, cost estimates, inflationary trends, interest rate assumptions, future capital requirements for major repairs and replacements as well a appropriate funding projections. The Uniformat style of Depreciation report is used by AACI designated appraisers and CRP Professionals across Canada in all other provinces where Reserve Fund Studies are Mandatory. Since BC has been legislated (Dec/11) only the NWT, Yukon and Quebec do not have legislation which governs and makes Depreciation Report or reserve Fund Studies mandatory.

Childcare fees imperil families afford full fees can get in there,” he said.

Graeme Wood

Board of Education chair Eric Yung said there has been no policy change.

RICHMOND NEWS

“We’re not looking to make money, especially with our partnerships,” said Yung, adding Community Connections gets $4,000 from the district in grant money.

Many families with low incomes and vulnerable children will be asked to fork over more money for before and after school care in Richmond thanks to increased fees imposed by the Richmond School District, according to Community Connections.

Thompson said the janitorial requirement makes no sense as the program has existed with no safety or sanitary problems for years.

Marshall Thompson, executive director of Community Connections, a non-proﬁt organization formerly called the Richmond Youth Services Agency (RYSA), told the Richmond News his programs, that lease space at three elementary schools, are being asked to pay an extra $1,100/month per site to staff janitors before and after school hours. Combined, Community Connections — which works closely with Pathways Clubhouse, for Aboriginal youth — estimates it will need to pay an extra $30,000 per year, not including summer programming. David Sadler, a spokesperson for the school district said, “All before and after school programs are required to pay staffing fees that are outside of school operating hours. “(However,) over the past few years, administrators were taking their personal time to arrive early and open schools for the Community Connections program. This is not in line with district regulations and due to regular administrative changes at schools, it is not sustainable,” Sadler explained in an email. As it stands, each school site (Blundell, Cook and Tait) hosts about two dozen kids at a time and combined, roughly 250 kids use Community Connections annually. The program is open to all but focuses on helping low-income families with working

However, Sadler noted that the fee schedules were established at the onset with the Connections Program. Parent Elsa Rojas Marquez, a single mom who emigrated from Mexico 18 years ago, said the Blundell program has been a blessing for her family.

tions developed a program.

Community Connections charges families on a sliding scale, based on income.Those who can, pay the full monthly fees (about $450).

“The goal was to have kids who could pay for it, great; and for those who can’t, we can provide subsidies,” explained Thompson.

Government subsidies allow families to pay less and the non-proﬁt further reduces fees via grants as well as its own revenue streams.

“We’re talking about families that basically, if they don’t have this childcare, they can’t go to work, which is a huge issue. Or, we have kids who wouldn’t be able to attend other programs because of their challenges.

“We worked for a long time to develop a model that was revenue neutral; in other words it’s a social enterprise,” said Thompson. For example at Blundell, where many of the students live in subsidized housing, the school principal and Community Connec-

Her daughter Frieda spent ﬁve years there so Marquez could work full time. Still, the $375 in fees she pays (with only a small grant) means her monthly budget is stretched. “When I knew this program was opening in the same school, I thought it was a blessing; a miracle,” said Marquez. “Everything changed. Since then, she found friendship and teachers who are like counsellors. They understood her, are very empathetic and always communicating with me. “I know for other families it’s a struggle. They have families who come from different backgrounds and some kids have foster parents. They help them in such a good way.” Thompson noted his early childhood educators are fully trained with extra skills in dealing with children with emotional problems. They also earn a living wage.

SUMMER SALE: SAVANNAH OD-2000

BUSINESS PROFILE

$400 OFF LIST PRICE UNTIL AUG 31ST!

Savannah Heating has revolutionized the fireplace industry with its newly designed gas fireplace. The Galaxy 48 shows bright distinct flames, while heating a room quickly and efficiently.

Warmth and beauty are yours with new, hi-tech fireplace Having a beautiful and warm fireplace at home is most people’s dream. However, gas fireplaces on the market are either hidden behind a black safety screen, or have not been designed to deliver heat efficiently. Savannah Heating, a Richmond business that has specialized in gas fireplaces for 15 years, is changing the industry by inventing a revolutionary fireplace which has taken beauty and practicality to a completely new level. Savannah’s new product, The Galaxy 48, a stunning bay front peninsula fireplace, shows bright and distinct flames, delivers heat quickly and efficiently, is easy to install and comes at a very competitive price. “Gas fireplaces in Canada are required to have a safety screen in front of the glass to prevent people or pets from burning themselves by touching the glass,” said Craig McClean, president, the Fireplace Warehouse. “But the problem is the fireplace looks dark with the safety screen, and many homeowners are looking for a clearer viewing option.” To solve the problem, a new type of fireplace with double glass is now trending in the market. This allows air to travel between the two panes of glass so the temperature of the outer glass stays cool enough to allow the screens to be removed. However, a new problem arose with these products: the heat gets trapped inside the fireplace and fails to travel into the home. Some companies let the heat rise into the wall cavity and leave a gap, vents or louvers

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME No referrals needed

2017

near the ceiling to let the heat out. Some other companies use heat dumps to simply dump the heat into the attic or outside, but that “is a big waste of energy,” said McClean. The new Galaxy 48, using the Genesis Heat Shield with RTC technology, developed by Savannah Heating Products, has found a way to circulate heat in the room efficiently. The fireplace is screen-free for optimum viewing pleasure. Plus, the new RTC technology — Radiant Thermal Convection Control — combines all three elements of heat transfer to produce heat and push it down into the room, creating maximum efficiency. Homeowners can choose from 42 different levels of warmth from the fireplace, and the room will heat up very quickly. “Homeowners don’t need special wall materials or large expensive air flow systems, just basic framing and drywall, which makes it much easier to install,” said McClean. “And you don’t need to have gaps in your wall; it makes your home look much nicer.” Four of the six linear fireplaces in the Genesis series will come out this year, including the Galaxy 48. Two are single sided and two are three sided peninsula models. The Galaxy 48 retails at $8,495 — which may sound like a lot, but is half the price of other double glass fireplaces on the market, according to McClean. Check it out at the Fireplace Warehouse showroom at 115 - 12320 Vulcan Way, Tuesday to Saturday (See the ad on this page).

Lottery winner yet to come forward Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Another newly-minted millionaire is waiting to be discovered in Richmond after Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 draw. A tasty $7 million is waiting for someone in the city to collect after their single ticket matched all six numbers. BCLC said no one has yet to come forward to claim their prize and the location where the winning ticket was purchased will only be revealed when the winner surfaces. All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize. There were also two winners of $33,673.40 in Vancouver in the draw. The guaranteed prize draw of $1 million went to a winner in Quebec. In May, the Richmond News told how Ping Kuen Shum won $2 million in the same draw after his ﬁnal day at work, which was also his birthday.

Someone in Richmond bought a $7 million winning ticket for last Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 draw. He bought his ticket in Parker Place in north Richmond. The odds of matching all the numbers for the BC/49 lottery are almost 14 million to one.

The school community had raised more than $50,000 in the last 10 months, but had appealed for 100 business people to chip in $100 each to bring the total up to the required $60,000. By the time the News caught up with principal Andrew Ferguson, the school had managed to ﬁnd 31 of the 100 people they need.

He said the full project will cost around $180,000, with support hopefully on the way in the fall from the City of Richmond and the school district. Anyone wanting to help the school with the playground project, can mail a donation to the school at 4440 Blundell Rd., V7C 1G9 or to the Richmond School District (these cheques would be payable to the Richmond School District) at 7811 Granville Ave., V6Y 3E3.

And by this week, after the story came out, another $700 has been committed via emails or in cheques already received.

Ferguson said a note attached to anything sent to the school board, indicating it’s for the Grauer playground, will be directed to the correct place.

“One donation has come from a parent whose son was a student here in the ‘80s;

Hong Kong school choir visits alumni Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

It will be a choral celebration at Richmond Emmanuel Church for students and alumni of Hong Kong’s St. Stephen’s College.

said an organiser in a press release. “Meanwhile, students will get a more in depth experience of American culture.” According to Ping Wong, a former visual arts teacher of SSC who is now a Richmond resident, more than 100 alumni of different ages are expected to show up.

A college choir from St. Stephen’s (SSC) will stop by Richmond on July 15, during a 10-day tour of the West Coast to meet with and perform for alumni from their Hong Kong college, who are now living in the Vancouver area.

“This is great, it will be a lot of fun, a lot of chatting about the old days in Hong Kong; old days are cool,” said Wong.

“The choir will act as an ambassador for the college and will visit alumni of the SSC in the Bay Area and Vancouver, giving them an update about what current SSC student life is like,”

“We have been gathering once a year in the last 10 years. Alumni from across North America will try to come, get a dinner, and do some activities, such as a local tour,” said Wong.

He said alumni mostly range from those who graduated in the 1960s to the 1990s, with the eldest graduating in 1948.

“The students and alumni have a very strong sense of belonging to the school and are proud to be SSCers. It’s a longhistory Christian school, founded in 1903 and our slogan is ‘all rounded education.’” The school choir was founded in 1975 and has won numerous awards in Hong Kong and worldwide. As well as traditional choral singing, the choir exlores a cappella singing. The choir will compete at the Golden Gate International Choral Festival in San Francisco prior to coming to Vancouver. Public are welcome to attend the free concert at 6:30 p.m. on July 15 at 7451 Elmbridge Way. For more information, contact a3c@telus.net.

“It’s amazing to see the next generation starting to give back.” Alex, Guest from Calgary, AB Alex grew up in a lower-income neighbourhood of Calgary and attributes much of his success to the role models in his community. Now Alex is a role model himself, and with the strong relationship he’s built with his local Tim Hortons, he’s been able to give back in amazing ways, like organizing the world’s longest hockey game, which raised over four million dollars for Alberta Children’s Hospital. But no matter how much money he raises, the thing he’s most proud of is that he inspires the youth in his community to want to give back, too. Thank you, Alex. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

SPORTS BC bragging rights on the line Provincial “A” Cup Championships start today at Boyd & Minoru Parks

The tournament will bring together the top four boys and girls teams from ages U13 to U18, which will engage in pitched battle at Hugh Boyd ﬁelds and Minoru Park, with the ﬁnal games to be played and medals handed out on Sunday.

They’ll be paired off against the West Vancouver Rangers, Vancouver Island representative Victoria North Thunder, and Interior reps Kelowna United FC. The Strikers have tradition on their side, however: Richmond teams have taken home gold eight times in the last 12 years and, during that time, only two city sides have lost in the ﬁnal game. Richmond FC Chair and Local Organizing Committee representative Rein Weber is looking forward to showing the visiting 47 teams and their families what Richmond has to offer. “Our kids and the organizers and sponsors and the city have really come together to put this event on,” he says. “An event this size is no easy thing to stage, but you have a lot of really committed people working at every level in this sport in Richmond to give the kids a place to be their best.” Despite having missed out on the ﬁnals, almost 100 of Richmond’s 2018

Roadrunners hosting Bantam Provincials That starts in net with goaltender Keegan Okina who played for Team B.C. at nationals last year. The attack is led by Henry Smith and Thomas Tien, who are especially dangerous in transition. Tien is a standout athlete who helped Seafair Minor Hockey win the Western Canadian Bantam Championship this past season.

Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Glenn Jensen knows a thing or two about host teams winning B.C. Bantam Lacrosse Championships at Minoru Arenas.

Okina’s stellar play is evident in the box scores where the Roadrunners routinely held their opponents to under ﬁve goals. Wins over Ridge Meadows and Semiahmoo were both by 4-3 scores.

Jensen was in charge when Richmond earned provincial honours on their home ﬂoor several years ago with a line-up that included his son Nick. Now the longtime Richmond Lacrosse president is back behind the bench again for a Roadrunner team that is competing against B.C.’s top teams in the elite A1 Tier. Richmond begins a demanding round-robin schedule at noon today against Semiahmoo before taking on Juan de Fuca later that evening (7:30 p.m.). In total, it will ﬁve games over three days to determine which four of the six teams will be playing for medals on Sunday afternoon. The A1 tournament is part of four Bantam provincial titles that will be on the line at this week. Richmond is also welcoming teams from across the province at the A2, B and C levels. Typically, Roadrunners rep teams have been playing at A2 but this talented group has more than held its own against perennial

“If Keegan is on top of his game and everybody on the outside it’s going to be key for us,” added Jensen. “Then we need to score goals. We are a really good fast break team and Keegan can throw the ball too.”

Lower Mainland heavyweights all season. A solid run in tiering play put Richmond in A1 and the success continued with an 11-5-0 regular season record — just a single point behind third place Semiahmoo. Along the way, the Roadrunners posted wins against Ridge Meadows (14-2-0), Coquitlam (13-21) and Semiahmoo. They will see all three

rivals again this week, along with a pair of Vancouver Island teams. “The kids know we can beat Coquitlam, we can beat Ridge and we can beat everybody. They just need to stay focus and play at that level we need to or we will be in trouble,” said Jensen. “We have all that we need to be successful.”

Jensen added playing at Minoru will be provide an edge, especially with the comforts of using the Junior Roadrunners’ dressing room for the entire tournament. “One hundred percent it’s a big advantage for us,” he said. “We got our own changing room where their jerseys will be hung up and the music going.” The Bantam A1 provincial gold medal game is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Sunday in the stadium rink. The bronze game starts at 2:30 p.m. next door in the silver rink.

YAMANAKA - Osamu (Oscar) December 7, 1930 - May 29, 2018 It is with heavy hearts that we announce Oscar’s peaceful passing, surrounded by family. He is survived by his loving wife, Carol, children, Brian (Camie), Alan and Derrick and his beloved grand daughters, Jullianna and Caeli. Siblings Kasuko (Robert) Barker, George (Sachi), Tak (Grace) and Buster. As well as, numerous nieces and nephews, three god children and many dear friends. Born in Steveston, he lived all his life in Richmond except for the war years which were spent in Lillooet, B.C. He returned to Vancouver to attend Vancouver Technical College, graduated as a naval draftsman and later joined his father’s boat shop. Then in 1977, he relocated Yamanaka Boatworks from Steveston to Ladner, where he continued to design and build row boats, duck punts, patrol boats, gill-netters, pleasure yachts, also bath tub (boats) for racing. Oscar’s kind and generous nature was reflected in both his family life and business endeavours. He and Carol shared a love of late Friday night dinners, New Year’s Day family feasts and trips abroad. His love of family was evident to all around him and brought him great joy. He forged many a friendship over Thursday lunches at the shop, treasuring each one. His quiet determination served him well in his accomplishments. His continued interest and curiosity was inspiring, whether it be a new boat part or the next generation electronic device. Koden and flowers gratefully declined. If desired, please donate in Oscar’s memory to the Salvation Rotary Hospice House in Richmond. A celebration of life will be held on July 14th.
