Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

Every year when Remembrance Day comes around I wonder what more can we possibly say. Surely, we’ve told all the stories there are to tell, shared all the insights there are to share, pondered all the losses there are to ponder.

And every year I’m wrong.

Perhaps because loss, suffering, courage and conflict are so perennial we never cease to find new ways to understand them or make them relevant.

11

5

This year, we owe a big thank you to Matthew McBride, a retired Navy diver, who’s made it his personal mission to ensure we don’t forget those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Not only does McBride organize the city’s annual parade and cenotaph ceremony, the amateur historian works doggedly to unearth old war stories and bring them to light.

This year, McBride introduced us to Kathrine (Kay) Vallance, Richmond’s Silver Cross Mother, a former Richmond school teacher and long-time Richmondite.

McBride writes, “I was recently introduced to Kay, who had lately uncovered a very long-lost letter she felt might be of some interest to the community as Remembrance Day approached. Her dad had written to his father (Kay’s grandfather), less than three weeks after he splashed ashore along with the 3rd Canadian Division on Juno Beach, just after dawn on June 6th, 1944.”

In fact, Sgt. Bill Baylis had written numerous letters. The one to his father was intended to be read at the “men’s club” at his church. His more heart-wrenching missives were saved for “Sweetheart,” his wife and Vallance’s mother.

47

The letters offer vivid descriptions of the boat ride over, the downing of a shot of rum, and the plunging into the waters off of Juno Beach. But it’s what he refused to describe that likely remained most deeply etched in his mind.

“What occurred on the beach, I am going to omit. I pray to God I’ll be able to forget it,” writes Baylis.

Which brings me to this year’s National Silver Cross Mother.

10

Every year the Royal Canadian Legion chooses a mother to lay a wreath during the Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on behalf of all mothers who have lost children in the service of their country.

This year, for the first time, the mother chosen is one whose son, Private Thomas Welch, ended his own life on May 8, 2004, only months after returning home from his Afghanistan tour. She suspects he was suffering with PTSD.

18

Unlike Welch, Baylis returned home and carried on with his life. But we know images of war are never forgotten. We know they can leave untenable scars, and this has always been the case. Although, when soldiers came home from the First World War with what was then called “shell shock,” families were ashamed by what was commonly thought to be a “lack of moral fibre.” Today, at least one of those families is being honoured. So, perhaps we’ve learned something.

While the end goal is to end war, and that seems like a long way off, every time we pause to remember, we dig a little deeper, understand a little more, see a little clearer.

Learning something may not end war, but it inches us closer.

Pot tax could fight fire All in for Dear Editor, Re: “Do you support a tax increase to hire more firefighters in Richmond?”

Your Voice, Nov. 1.

In the weeks leading up to Richmond’s municipal election on Oct. 20, each of the candidates for council professed their grand ideas of the improvements they would champion in Richmond if elected. No candidate (other than myself) offered any novel suggestions of how they would finance these improvements. The candidates were silent on this be-

cause the answer was obvious and likely one that would spell their political demise: a tax hike.

With the legalization of cannabis on Oct. 17, Richmond was presented with a golden opportunity to begin collecting millions of dollars in both sales and excise taxes. For what really is pathetic reasoning, Richmond continues on with an outright ban on retail sales on cannabis while progressive jurisdictions around B.C. realize how they can take advantage of the windfall.

Now Richmond has learned that, due to its growing population, it needs more firefighters. I don’t doubt the need for more firefighters, however I do doubt the need to raise our municipal taxes to fund them.

By simply allowing retail cannabis sales, Richmond’s coffers would receive the required monies for bringing on these additional firefighters, without having to increase our municipal taxes.

PROP REP

Richmond Chamber hosts Wilkinson to talk referendum Friday; see story online

Prop Rep debate heats up Dear Editor, Re: “PR is modern system for modern times,” Letters, Nov. 1.

I am firmly against B.C. adopting Proportional Representation (PR).

The two broad schemes under consideration are: 1) The MLAs in the legislature are in proportion to the popular vote. 2) The MLAs in the legislature are according to the results of the ridings. Scheme #1 is PR. Scheme #2 is ridingsbased, like First-Past-the -Post (FPTP.) On the surface, these two schemes are both reasonable and intuitively appealing. So, the way to compare them is to look at other aspects of voting systems.

Under PR, our local representation is degraded. Under PR, fringe parties have an easier time getting elected to the legislature. Under PR, coalition governments of three, four or more par-

ties are endemic, leading to unstable governments and fringe parties influencing policy. Under PR, independent candidates have at least been shoe-horned into the system, but regional parties (i.e. represented in a handful of districts) are at a distinct disadvantage to province-wide big parties. PR loses out on every aspect.

with. But AV is not being offered in this referendum, unfortunately.

Human nature will not automatically change under a PR system – there is no reason to expect more cooperation in a coalition.

There would certainly be more back-room deals, corresponding to the increased number of parties in each coalition. Under the current system, parties are incidental – they help candidates campaign and electors to grasp the political landscape. Under PR, parties are raised to a status they should not have; it is like relegating Mom and Pop stores and small business to be second class citizens (read independent candidates and regional parties).

In direct response to the previous letter, and with reference to the above analysis, I point out, again, that popular vote is but one aspect of a voting system to consider — it is not the be all and end all. We can, indeed, improve proportional representation within a ridings-based voting sytem, by replacing FPTP in each riding with a ranked ballot – Alternate Vote (AV). Each riding would be won by a majority vote, rather than a plurality, and strategic voting and vote splitting would be virtually done away

Doctor borrows from patient, later diagnoses Dementia Last month, The Tennessean newspaper (and the Hull law firm website) reported that a doctor in that state had borrowed $300,000 from a patient, who was also the Administrator of the doctor’s clinic. Some time later, when the patient requested her money back, the Doctor diagnosed her with Dementia. Apparently, the diagnosis was observational only and a later psychological assessment failed to show Dementia. The doctor relinquished her practice license.

It was not clear why the doctor took the steps she did, as presumably she could have borrowed from a bank to repay the patient.

Though this is an extreme case, it does illustrate some of the risks involved in lending money to your physician. It also brings to light the importance and value of family members keeping on top of the financial affairs of other family members, if that is reasonably possible.

New council cuts farmhouse sizes Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s new council has voted unanimously for city staff to prepare a bylaw that will see further limits to homes on agricultural land, just one day after being sworn in.

At a general purposes’ committee meeting on Tuesday, Coun. Harold Steves tabled a motion to revisit a 500 square metre home size limit and 1,000 square metre home plate size limit for houses on Richmond’s Agricultural Land Reserve.

Immediately following the general purposes’ committee meeting, a special council meeting was called to vote on the home size issue, which passed unopposed.

The matter of ALR home sizes became a significant issue during Richmond’s October election, and even earlier in the spring it had led to multiple lengthy council meetings.

“This was the election issue,” Steves said after the meetings, pointing to the number of votes he and Coun. Carol Day received. “The public said they support us, so we brought it back today. Simply put, the public said ‘do it,’ we did it.”

During the meetings, Richmond resident John Roston encouraged council to take the

limits even further.

“I think there’s nothing wrong with mansions, we would just like them built elsewhere,” Roston said to council.

“My suggestion would be that we reduce the size to 300 square metres,” he said, explaining that a 500 square metre home would still be attractive to “wealthy nonfarmers.”

However, for resident Bhupinder (Ben) Dhiman, the move to limit home sizes was “irresponsible governing.”

“Us farmers have other things we need to do and this keeps on coming around,” Dhiman told media following the general purposes’ committee meeting.

“They still feel they need to restrict farmers further and make things more difficult,” he said.

young farmers and allowed some of our most valuable agricultural land to be damaged,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture in a press release.

“We are protecting farmland in B.C. to ensure land is available now and for future generations of farmers, so people in British Columbia have a safe, secure supply of locally grown food on their tables for years to come.”

The public said they support us...the public said ‘do it,’ so we did it.

HAROLD STEVES

While Steves’ motion had already been added to council’s agenda last week, the pursuit of this bylaw coincidentally came on the heels of a provincial announcement with its own legislation limiting ALR home sizes. That announcement was made Monday.

“The old government let wealthy speculators drive the price of farmland out of reach for

If passed, Bill 52, or the agricultural land commission amendment, 2018, will include “addressing mega-mansions and speculation in the ALR by limiting new house sizes to less than 500 square metres.”

Applications will be accepted by the Agricultural Land Commission for exceptions to this limitation.

“Last year, the public learned about a farm in Richmond that was assessed at $85,000 and then it was sold for $9.2 million, more than a hundred times its value assessed for farm use,” Popham said during a press conference on Monday.

While Steves sought the same square footage limit as the province, he said the key difference was that he also wanted limits to how

far a house can sprawl.

“The province did not bring in a home plate size at all and that means you can build a big house and sprawl everything all over the Agricultural Land Reserve,” he told the Richmond News prior to Tuesday’s meeting.

“That’s the important part of the resolution… is that we came up with a smaller lot size than what the provincial guidelines said.”

Steves added that it was important for the city to pursue its own regulations to quickly stop new developments.

“We’re bringing in a moratorium and under the moratorium all applications will close in seven days,” Steves said. “We don’t know when (the province’s legislation) comes into effect and we’re getting a lot of applications already.

“So we want to close the barn door.”

Even though the provincial Bill 52 has been tabled, it will still need to go through first, second and third readings, followed by a vote.

The debate on Bill 52 continues in the fall.

For Richmond, city staff will now prepare a bylaw with the home size limits to be presented at next week’s council meeting. During a public hearing on the issue at a later date, council will then vote to put the bylaw into place.

A call to the Richmond RCMP resulted in a rather unusual seizure when four illegally held pythons were found by Mounties in a car last month.

According to David Karn, spokesperson for B.C.’s Ministry of Environment, Richmond RCMP were called to a police matter on Oct. 12. They then arrested a male and found four pythons in his car. The pythons

Of the four, one was a 14-foot Burmese python. The other three were reticulated pythons, one of which was 12 feet long.

According to the ministry, Burmese and reticulated pythons are “prohibited species,” which means that regardless of size, possession and transportation of the snakes in B.C. is illegal without a permit.

The investigation is still ongoing and the pythons currently remain in provincial government care.

Insurance firm facing $47 million fraud probe Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

has accused the three leaders of FS Financial Strategies Inc., and related companies in the FS insurance group, dishonestly raised over $47 million between 2012 and 2017 by failing to disclose to investors the company wasn’t profitable.

The BCSC statement further alleged that the activities continued while the company’s financial situation deteriorated and that “it survived by raising money from investors to cover its expenses” by getting hundreds of people to purchase unsecured loan agreements.

FS Financial Strategies Inc has an office on No. 3 Road, just north of Richmond Centre shopping mall.

According to the BCSC, Aik Guan “Frankie” Lim and Scott Thomas Low, the directors and founders of the group, were partly responsible.

The notice also says that Darrell Wayne Wiebe, the company’s general man-

ager, was aware of the FS insurance group’s true financial condition and contributed to the fraud by routinely advising Lim and Low how much the company needed to raise from investors to stay afloat.

The BCSC added that investors were promised interest payments of 10 per cent to 12 per cent, payable monthly.

Lim and Low, according to the BCSC, “created an illusion of profitability” by opening new offices in rapid succession; donating money to charities; telling customers that they planned to take the insurance group public; and hosting parties for clients and staff at expensive hotels.

A statement on the company’s website said it will “strongly contest those allegations in due course and in the proper setting. There’s always two sides to every story.”

“It feels like the start of a new era,” Wolfe told the Richmond News.

RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s new council was sworn in Monday night, and as mayor and councillors recited the oath of office and the oath of allegiance, the next few years of the city’s local government launched.

Last month, Richmond’s municipal election saw some significant shifts as former councillors Derek Dang and Ken Johnston were not voted back to council. Instead, Richmond Citizens’ Association’s Kelly Greene and RITE’s Michael Wolfe were elected.

“I would like to extend a special welcome to our two new councillors…their energy, backgrounds and knowledge will be of great assistance as we work together to provide strong, thoughtful and caring leadership for our city,” said Brodie in his inaugural address.

“Nothing in local politics is possible without the people and they spoke up. They got involved in the citizenry process and voted to make change.”

Looking ahead to the next four years, Brodie highlighted a number of issues in his address including managing growth, housing affordability, community safety, community services, transportation, sustainability and responsible financial management.

Prior to Monday night’s meeting, Wolfe shared that the new council could mark a

Conference aims to save walk-in clinics the traffic clinics can bring.

Daisy Xiong

“Walk-in clinics are usually very busy, so there is a lot of traffic that walk-in clinics generate and those are the customers for the retail store or pharmacy,” said McLoughlin.

RICHMOND NEWS

“Forming a retail-business partnership to lower the rent will help clinics with the overheads, so they can pay the doctors better, which will make it easier for them to recruit doctors.”

A conference will be held in Richmond this weekend that aims to address the shortage of walk-in clinics in the city and throughout the province.

Another way to increase the margin of walk-in clinics, he said, is to increase the number of patients clinics can accept every day.

Two major factors attributed to the shortage are higher real estate costs and a change in young doctors’ lifestyles, according to Walk-In Clinics of BC Association.

“The bigger the clinic’s capacity is, the more patients can be treated, and the more profit the clinics can make. It is a virtuous cycle,” said McLoughlin.

The annual Very Valuable Service Conference, held by Walk-in Clinics of BC, will take place at the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel on Friday, Nov. 9.

“One of the reasons we chose Richmond was because they have suffered some closures of their clinics,” said Mike McLoughlin, founding director of the association.

“We will discuss an action plan to drive profitability within walk-in clinics, and as such, attract and retain more doctors.”

Last year, the Seafair Medical Centre, one of Richmond’s most popular walk-in clinics, was forced to close due to a drastic shortage in physicians, province-wide.

Between 2013 and 2017, more than 45 B.C. clinics shut their doors.

“We have a shortage of family doctors in B.C. It’s an ongoing problem in many communities,” said McLoughlin.

“Thus more and more people are relying on walk-in clinics to provide medical services.”

He pointed out that a challenge many Richmond clinics face is that a lot of physicians are retiring but they have difficulty getting replacements for them.

The Seafair Medical Centre on No. 1 and Francis roads closed last year after 25 years of operation due to a shortage of doctors.

That was the problem faced by Seafair when two of its doctors were retiring and they failed to recruit younger doctors.

“It has to do with that the younger generation of doctors looking at their careers differently. They want a work-life balance. That means that they don’t want the responsibilities of operating a business, which is the medical clinic,” McLoughlin.

The high cost of rent in Metro Vancouver has also squeezed clinics’ margins and has resulted in many doctors leaving the area to work where they get better payment and have lower living costs, he added.

One way to address the challenges, according to McLoughlin, is for clinics to form a business partnership with local retail stores, which provides space at a lower price in exchange for

“One clinic that went to our conference last year designed their waiting room to be smaller and added more examination rooms. Patients can wait in the coffee shop and see where they are in the line-up on the app.

“The clinic doubled its revenue by doing that,” said McLoughlin.

For younger doctors who don’t want to take the responsibility for daily operations, McLoughlin suggests that they connect with business partners, who don’t necessarily have a medical background, to manage the clinic for them.

The program will provide free legal advice to self-representing parties – people or organizations who don’t have a lawyer.

“For those who are self-representing, it must be that they cannot afford a lawyer, and they cannot get free legal services. I assume that, and it’s likely to be the case,” said Lee.

New school trustee Richard Lee is offering free legal advice for matters that appear in court.

Lee said he planned the program for a long time. He announced the decision now because he didn’t “want to be accused of getting publicity” for his election campaign.

Having been a board member of Western Access to Justice Society for 10 years, and a social criminal defense lawyer for First Nations and Inuit in Northern Canada, Lee said he understands how important legal assistance is to many people.

Currently, there are organizations such as The Access Pro Bono Society of British Columbia and Legal Aid BC providing legal services to people with low income, but there are still many people who are unable to get representation.

“We want to help those people who fall through cracks and are not able to get legal advice anywhere else.”

Due to limited resources, Lee will only provide free assistance in disputes originating in Richmond. He is also looking for more lawyers to join the program in the future.

Getting set to stuff police cruiser There was no shortage of supporters at the launch of Richmond RCMP’s fourth annual “stuff the cruiser” toy drive and pancake breakfast in aid of the Richmond Christmas Fund.

At the RCMP’s No. 5 Road headquarters on Tuesday, Richmond’s top cop, Supt. Will Ng, was joined by fellow Mounties, RCMP mascot Safety Bear and Christmas Fund co-chairs Wayne Duzita, Michael Chiu and Rob Howard.

Every year, the RCMP takes over a section of the parking lot at Ironwood Shopping Plaza, where people are asked to donate an unwrapped toy into a police cruiser.

In return, people who donate will get a pancake breakfast, cooked up by volunteers, including local Mounties.

You can also enjoy the same breakfast with a minimum $5 donation. This year’s drive takes place Saturday, Nov. 17, from 8 a.m. to noon.

Each year, the Christmas Fund distributes grocery vouchers to hundreds of individuals and families in need. Children 12 and under also receive toys, books, and sports equipment, while teenagers are given gift cards.

For more information, go online to RCRG.org/WhatWeDo/ RCRGPrograms/richmond-christmas-fund.

Operation Red Nose ready to roll again Operation Red Nose is kicking off its 17th year in Richmond and Delta this week with the hopes of keeping people safe this holiday season.

The free, seasonal service connects partygoers with volunteer drivers, allowing both them and their vehicles to get home safely. Any donations or tips received from clients stay in the community and go towards local youth and amateur sports.

This year, the campaign will kick off on Thursday, Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. at Delta Gymnastics Society. A special gymnastics demonstration, refreshments and remarks from dignitaries are all expected to be part of the program.

Operation Red Nose mascot Rudy poses with a police officer ahead of the annual campaign launch to recruit drivers.

“Operation Red Nose is a very important safe driving program that many in our communities of Delta and Richmond have used and relied on for many years,” said Ana Arciniega, executive director of Delta Gymnastics, which is the host and headquarters of the Operation

Red Nose Richmond-Delta Campaign.

During the holiday season, an average of 12 road teams of three people are on call each night of the service. They work from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 2, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and on New Year’s Eve. Clients can request a ride by calling 604-943-0460. Smartphone users can also download the Red Nose app.

Volunteer drivers must be between the ages of 19 and 75 with a valid driver’s license. They’re required to complete a free criminal record check form available at DeltaGymnastics.com/ operation-red-nose, which can be brought to a local police detachment.

“We need as many volunteers as possible to help us ensure we can meet the demand for the rides we expect during the holiday season,” Arciniega said. “We urge past volunteers or those that would like to give it a try, to help us this year.”

Radio heads meet Amateur radio enthusiasts will be flocking to Steveston this Saturday for the Richmond Amateur Radio Club’s (RARC) Discover Amateur Radio seminar at the Steveston Community Centre.

According to RARC, the seminar brings together experienced radio amateurs to share topics of interest with local radio operators from the local amateur radio community, newly licensed hams who want to learn more about the hobby and the interested public who want to discover the pastime.

The day-long event goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will involve concurrent sessions using two rooms to accommodate a more extensive agenda.

Admission is $5, payable at the door, to help cover room rental and beverage expenses.

“The seminar provides a unique forum for the local amateur radio community to come together and share knowledge and experiences in a face-to-face environment,” said Urey Chan, founder and organizer of the event.

War relived through lost letters Stack of lost letters take Kay Vallance back to D-Day Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

When Richmond resident Kay Vallance recently discovered a stack of long-lost letters written by her father, Arthur William Baylis, on the battlefield of the Second World War in the U.K., there were tears in her eyes.

During the four years fighting on the frontline, the sergeant with the Royal Canadian Engineers liked to write home from his wartime stations to his wife and father, who would share the letters in the men’s club at Baylis’ church.

One of the letters was written less than three weeks after Baylis splashed ashore along with the third Canadian Division on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944 — known to many as the D-Day landings.

“I sat and read the letters. Having the actual paper in my hand my dad had written it on, it just made

the letter that much more real. I had tears,” Vallance told the Richmond News.

“When reading the letters, you almost felt that you were having that experience yourself, you could live in what he said and you were there.

“I just felt that it was really something to share with more people.”

Vallance, who is this year’s official Richmond Silver Cross Mother, remembers her father as a “very gentle person and very much loved by everybody.” She said when her dad came back home, he didn’t talk much about his experience in the war.

“He doesn’t want to upset anybody else or get it back to his family,” said Vallance.

“Even in letters, he never wrote anything bad that was going on.

He didn’t really talk about the horror he saw. It’s just one sentence there that says, ‘I pray God I’ll be able to forget it.’”

Kay Vallance had tears in her eyes after finding letters written by her father during the D-Day Landings in the Second World War. One of them is printed, in full, below. More are published at Richmond-News.com. Daisy Xiong photo

Letter tells of ‘impressions of D-Day’ and moments before it K29134 Sgt. AW Baylis 6th Fld Coy, R.C.E. Canadian Army O June 23/44 Dear DadHere we go again for another line or two — with my impressions of D-Day and the days previous, which I would like you to pass on to the men’s club.

Those last few days before leaving England were not just spent laying around and waiting, at least not for us. There was plenty to do in the final stages of preparation, checking equipment that was a vital part for the success of the operation we were about to be engaged in. The country, too, had to be studied and every man know his own particular job as well as the other fellow’s. In other words, to put it plainly, every man had to be in the complete picture and know the score, organization and distribution of troops in various camps, that they could be embarked in the speediest possible time with the minimum tieup of road traffic. It was well planned and carried out without a hitch.

Well, we were in one of those camps — our serial and craft number called out and our first phase of the journey had begun. We were transported to the dock and embarked on an LCT. The unit was split up and travelled on different crafts. After the loading was complete we pulled out in stream for a couple of days.

D-day had been postponed 24 hours.

Comfort is not to be considered on an LCT. They are wide-open to the weather. Yes, we had rain and found shelter the best way we could, usually under vehicles. The cold, wet

steel floor of the craft made no comfortable mattress. A few pieces of tarps helped out wonderfully.

While tossing about at anchor, I had the chance to send my last letter home from England, the skipper taking them ashore for us. A small ferry boat used to pass by about every half hour and passengers gave us the odd wave and cheer. Did they know? It might have been just another scheme.

Later on, the skipper came aboard again and presently we were underway taking our place in the convoy. It was a wonderful sight and a wonderful experience, numerous ships big ones and little ones that were to come in later with the necessities to carry on after the coast defenses had been put out of action and to establish a beachhead.

Once clear of the harbour and out into the channel, the craft began to toss about like a cork, and before dusk the shores of dear old England were lost to the view. It was a rough crossing, the spray breaking over the craft and continually drenching us, some of the lads were sea-sick. Myself, I weathered the crossing very well — perhaps I had too much on my mind to even think of being sick.

First and foremost the loved ones at home, then the job in front of us, the reception Jerry would give us. I would not have changed places with anyone and considered it a privilege and an honor to take part in that great crusade.

As we were zig-zagging our way across, I imagined old Drake and Nelson looking down from their places on high with their chests swelled out and patting each other on the back all the time, wishing they could be

at the helm again.

Dawn broke June 6th with the French coast in view. The Airforce had done its job, now for ours. Those last few minutes before touchdown seemed like an eternity, would we ever get in? About 15 minutes before touchdown, around comes half a gill of real Navy rum for every man.

“Dilute it” says No. 1. “Fudge” I say, and down goes the rum, woof!!

In a few minutes we ground, down goes the ramp and we scramble ashore but not without difficulty — waist deep with a strong tide, it was quite a job holding your feet down.

Other craft, unfortunately, went sky high striking mines.

What occurred on the beach, I am going to omit. I pray to God I’ll be able to forget it.

After messing about on the beach for a while, we got into the town.

The sight of the French civilians had a wonderful effect on our nerves (mine anyways).

It was still pretty hot. The fleeing Jerries were soon rounded up. Some of the civvies were crying — for what I never found out. Some offered a cheer, some were afraid to express any opinion at all, some thought it was just another raid and we would be leaving again after shooting up the town and (feared) the treatment they would get from the Jerries after we had gone. After assuring them we had come to stay, things were different. As we worked our way through the town, the lads were bedecked with flowers and pre-war wine which had been hidden from the Jerries came into view.

We had little time for celebrations at this

stage of the game, time was an important factor; we had to keep on going.

I gave some youngsters the chocolate from my rations. It did my heart good to see the satisfied smile...on their young faces.

So on we went. Later on in the afternoon, we had our first real breather in another village, baskets of eggs were brought out and given to our lads. No doubt they were ready for collection by Jerry, but he did not have time for them that morning. It did not take me long to get my mess-tin and tommy-cooker and had two on the fly in nothing flat.

There was little sleep the first two days, and we were fagged. The infantry were worse off, but we kept pace with them and (were) often in front of them, reaching our objectives laid down for D-day. Perhaps we had easier going than other fronts or other sectors, as we were the only ones to do it that day.

Canada can be justly proud of her sons, heroes every one that took part in those first landings on D-day June 6/44. Those who fell on the beach or drowned before they reached the beach — for them the war is over. But their families and mothers, wives, sweethearts — I pray, God, that the people of Canada will not forget them in their prayers (so) that they might have comfort and peace of mind. Also, God, give us the strength and courage to finish this job so that the cause for which our comrades fell will not have been in vain. It’s going to be tough, but I think we can do it, and we will.

We know you are all behind us, and we will not fail you. Kindest regards to you all.

Yours as ever. Bill

Reception founder proud as punch Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

Come Sunday, Nov. 11, Judith Hutson may be torn between what one of two things will be making her feel prouder.

It could be her grandfather’s First World War medals she plans on pinning to her chest for the first time.

Or it could be standing back and seeing up to 1,500 people crammed into city hall for the Remembrance Day reception, immediately following the service at the cenotaph.

significant with more than 1,000 people attending.

For the eighth year in a row, Hutson has organized the reception and she couldn’t have imagined how popular it has become.

“Every year, I go to our sponsors with a great deal of trepidation, as it’s quite an undertaking to do this every year. But they have been absolutely lovely.

“It’s my dream to see so many people there; I couldn’t see this back in 2010, when 150 people showed up. I thought that was a big number back then,” said Hutson.

Hutson first got in contact with the City of Richmond back in 2009, when she suggested a whole bunch of improvements to the event that year.

The following year, she got her own post-cenotaph reception off the ground, with the help of multiple sponsors and, of course, the city.

“Last year, there were between 1,200 and 1,500 people, it was incredible,” said Hutson, who usually starts preparing and planning the event in July.

“I have to say, the city has been fantastic; they’ve rec-

“And the Friends of the Richmond Archives will, once again, have an amazing display, especially with it being the 100th anniversary of Armistice.”

Such is the popularity of the event, the city is arranging for a tent to be erected outside city hall, complete with refreshments, to take some of the pressure away from inside.

As well as the hot drinks supplied by the city, several bakeries and caterers – Diplomat, Broadmoor and Steveston bakeries and The Butler Did It caterers – are donating hundreds of sweet treats for the guests.

The Richmond Peace Children’s Choir will also be providing entertainment.

REMEMBRANCE Library honours

Richmond Public Library’s Kate Adams (left) and Stephanie Vokey show off their profiles of local soldiers who fought in the First World War, including a group called the ‘Steveston bums.’ Alan Campbell photo

“We put them up on Saturday and will have them up all week,” said the library’s head of Kids’ Place, Kate Adams.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

There are a few “Steveston bums” hanging on the wall at Richmond Public Library.

And, believe it not, it’s all to do with Remembrance Day on Sunday, Nov. 11.

Every year, the library creates a display to commemorate and education library goers about the local contributions and sacrifices made in the First World War. This time around, the library enlisted the help of the Friends of the Richmond Archives to profile local soldiers, including the selftitled “Steveston bums.”

Two of the three pictures, sourced and framed by the archives people, show Richmond soldiers during the war.

“People looking at the pictures will see some familiar Richmond names, such as Gilmour and London.”

Making a return at the library is the opportunity for people to write messages of goodwill and thanks to Canada’s veterans.

And taking pride of place in the Remembrance Day display is “Soldier Files,” a collection of personnel files of soldiers, some of them local, mostly from the Lower Mainland.

“This was put together a few years ago, thanks to Library and Archives Canada to try and make history more accessible to Canadians,” added Adams. “It contains information about when they joined the war, their letters and their medical information.”

REMEMBRANCE Legion going big

Scott Stewart is expecting a big turnout this year at the Royal Canadian Legion’s postRemembrance Day service event.

Stewart, the legion’s chair of the management committee, said they’re putting on more entertainment than before.

And, with this year’s Remembrance Day falling on the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, he believes there will be a heightened interest in the special day.

“We have a really attractive line-up (of entertainment), Stewart told the Richmond News

on Monday, adding that he expects around 100 people to show up.

“It’s our most important day of the year; remembrance is critical to us at the legion; we need to remember those that lost so much.”

The Royal Canadian Legion (branch 291), at 11131 Bridgeport Rd., opens at noon, right after the Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph at city hall.

The legion will be firing up the grill and barbecuing burgers right after opening, with Kyle Banta on the bagpipes at the same time.

The Palmer secondary choir will be performing at 1 p.m. and Steve Hillis will be entertaining with Flanders Fields and music starting at 6:30 p.m.

The new Mozza restaurant at the Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport is now offering delicious homey Italian cuisine to local customers and tourists.

Formerly known as “Fresh” and serving fusion style food, the restaurant has been renamed “Mozza,” and focuses on Italian style cuisine.

“It’s not uncommon for hotels to rebrand their restaurant every five to seven years. It makes things new and exciting,” said Gregory Walsh, executive chef of Mozza Restaurant and Lounge.

“We thought that the direction towards Italian food is approachable, everybody knows it, and everybody is comfortable with it. Italian cuisine lets you make that leap of faith.

“And we want a very homey feeling for people who are traveling and staying in our hotel. Things that are a little homier are often appreciated because they are away from home.”

Walsh said the restaurant’s name “Mozza” is short for mozzarella.

“It’s easy to say “Mozza”, it’s not complicated — just like all the things we want the restaurant to be, simple, straightforward,” he said. The restaurant has prepared a brand new menu to cater to different customers’ Italian food preferences.

“Before, the menu was more fusion and

international-based, now it’s all Italian-based,” said Walsh.

For example, the new menu includes food such as chicken parmigiana, spaghetti with meatballs, pizzas with Italian sausages and some other pasta dishes, according to Walsh.

Mozza also plans to offer food such as angel hair pasta with crab and gnocchi with

mushroom.

“They’re very straightforward and familiar flavours. If you don’t understand 100 per cent of the dish, you can understand enough that you are comfortable with it and can enjoy,” said Walsh.

The restaurant’s popular traditional prime buffet, which offers prime rib along with other dishes every Friday and Saturday night, has been kept, but is slanted more towards Italian as well “Instead of putting sauce inspired by French cuisine on the steak, we make the sauce with chianti butter and Italian red wine,” said Walsh.

“We might have had an Asian style noodle salad before, but now we do Italian style pasta salad, maybe with sundried tomatoes. It’s the details that matter.”

Meanwhile, Mozza will be adding more Italian wine to its alcohol selection, and the restaurant’s sun room can host up to 30 people allowing groups to dine together with a great garden view.

Mozza Restaurant & Lounge at Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport offers breakfast, lunch and dinner daily from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. It’s Prime Rib Nights start at 5:30 p.m. every Friday and Saturday. Lounge Hours are 4-11 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and 4 p.m.-12 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Schools prepare for Remembrance Day contributions during the Second World War. He hopes the local connection will make it meaningful to students.

Megan Devlin RICHMOND NEWS

“[It’s an] opportunity to educate students on an important part of city’s past …on some of the things they may not know about Remembrance Day,” he said.

Students around Richmond are preparing for their Remembrance Day assemblies that will educate students and honour those who served with songs, performances and visits from veterans.

He learned about the women who helped build aircraft at the Sea Island Boeing factory, and the women who worked at the cannery supplying protein (in the form of canned red herring) to those on the front lines.

Most schools will mark Remembrance Day a few days early this year, on Nov. 9.

“I think for us, just living in Canada and recognizing that we live in a country that affords us certain freedoms is something we shouldn’t take lightly,” said Ravinder Johal, principal of Hugh Boyd secondary.

Hugh Boyd has an assembly planned Friday morning, and they’re expecting to do a ceremony and listen to remarks from a veteran.

“Especially with occurrences that are happening around the world...we don’t want to take our freedoms for granted,” Johal said.

Over at MacNeill secondary, the Grade 10 to 12 students in the citizen leadership class are planning their ceremony that will include the school band, a piece by the drama class, a performance by a dance class, candle lighting and a presentation on Richmond’s contributions during the Second World War.

“They really took it on with a sense of responsibility,” she said. “They really realize the solemnness of the ceremony, and work to make something that’s meaningful and respectful and helps to build some understanding.”

Grade 11 student Tony Smith spent time researching with the Richmond Archives to create a presentation highlighting Richmond’s

Misfeldt thinks it’s important to have an education piece that explains the significance of Remembrance Day in a Canadian context, since MacNeill often hosts international students.

Special guest Major Roland Luo from the

Canadian Armed Forces will also share his remarks with students at the assembly. He’s the Company Commander for the army reserve unit at No 4 Road and Westminster Highway, a battalion that provides combat service support like transport, vehicle and weapon maintenance and food services.

Misfeldt says she expects him to touch on current CAF roles like disaster relief and peacekeeping.

As for Smith, he says he’s grateful for his chance to help create a memorable Remembrance Day. “It’s a day to acknowledge the people that gave their lives or just contributed their effort and time to protecting our freedom,” Smith said. “They shouldn’t be forgotten. They should be remembered.”

Band ready for big day

RICHMOND REMEMBERS Sunday, November 11, 2018

Richmond Community Concert Band has performed at the ceremony for 45 years.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Community Concert Band will play at the city’s Remembrance ceremony, as it has done for the past 45 years.

Bob Mullett, the band conductor since 1978, said all members, aged 35 to 90, have practiced two hours every Monday night for the special day.

“After all these years, it’s still a pleasure to perform on Remembrance Day. It is one of the things we always do. I don’t need to convince them; they want to come and do it,” said Mullett.

“It’s not ’fun’ — it’s something we feel obligated to do. We know that the public that comes to the ceremony likes the fact that we are there, and they enjoy the ceremonial part of it.”

Mullett said they will perform the same traditional songs they have always played for

Remembrance Day, including O Canada and God Save the Queen.

“It is a tradition, just a way to remember, so nobody forgets what happened,” he said.

“The crazy thing is that even though the war has been over since 1945, there have been wars going on somewhere else ever since.

Wars never stopped.”

He hopes the music and the ceremony can help young people understand what happened 70 years ago.

“It’s not always easy to convey to young people why they are there (at the ceremony).

Many don’t even know what they are trying to remember,” said Mullett. ”The only thing they know about is what they see in the movies. It’s not real. Even the relatives that would have been there have mostly passed away. No one really tells them. Either they read about it or they come to the ceremony.

“Hopefully, they get the idea that war is not a good thing.”

Lest we forget cannery heroines cannery expanded from hiring mostly male workers’ wives, to hiring a lot of young women.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

As Canadians commemorate the soldiers who left home for “The Front,” women who pitched in and made important contributions on the home front by taking over the work that was traditionally held by men also deserve to be remembered and honoured.

With thousands of Canadian men overseas, Canada mobilized their women in factories like the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, one of B.C.’s largest canneries located in Steveston Village, during the 1940s.

“The Cannery always employed women, it wasn’t new, but it did change during the Second World War, when there was more need for women to work in factory,” said Shannon King, manager of audience engagement of Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society, to the Richmond News.

King explained that before the war, many of the women working in the cannery were fishermen’s wives, who usually took on traditional jobs for women such as cleaning fish and packing cans.

But after the outbreak of the Second World War, tens of thousands of Canadian men left to fight in the war, leaving women to work in roles that were traditionally held by

With many men off fighting in the war, women had to take over roles at the cannery. men, such as operating machinery and even butchering the fish.

“As was typical of the time, factory work was promoted as a patriotic way for women to contribute, even more so than it had been before,” said King.

To hire more women for the work, the

We Shall Always Remember Them...

H o w e v e r, public opinion at the time thought women working in traditionally male roles may result in less femininity, and the shift was not welcomed since women were seen as housewives and were meant to be gentle, said King.

“To maintain femininity while working in men’s jobs in the factory, the female workers started calling themselves ‘cannery girls,’ to emphasize that they were young women, just working in these jobs.”

This was the time when Canada’s canning industry was revived by the demands of war, having declined during the 1930s.

In 1941, 35 canneries in B.C. packed a record two million cases of salmon, two thirds of which was sent to Great Britain, where

war stalked the land. In 1942, Great Britain received all of the salmon canned in B.C. “Canned fish was extremely important during war time, not only for soldiers, but also for civilians,” said King.

“Because it was high in protein and easily transportable. It was helpful that at the front, people were able to just open the can and eat it; for civilians, it was cheap protein.”

However, during the war, the forced removal of Steveston’s Japanese residents created a labour shortage in the local canneries and resulted in more single women working in the cannery.

“Almost overnight, 2,600 residents of Steveston were relocated. It was a sad history, and had a really profound impact on the workforce of local canneries,” said King.

King added that among the workers the Gulf of Georgia Cannery employed in 1940, 43 were Caucasians and 246 were Asian.

“There was a shift in the workforce. A lot of these jobs were filled by single women — some of them came from Interior B.C. or other provinces.”

The B.C. cannery industry declined again after the war and was eventually closed in 1979, but the legacy of the women who contributed to the country on the home front lives ever on in collective memory.

Gilmore residents share war stories picked up a paper who was next.

Megan Devlin

My brother went into military police. He’s six years older. He was stationed at both the airports and the ports. He had so many stories.

RICHMOND NEWS

We were all very worried about him. He was in a London bombing and injured his back. He had to be put in hospital in final months of war. So when the war finished, he was still in hospital. He was shipped home finally, but his back bothered him the rest of his life.

Gilmore Gardens, a retirement residence in Richmond, is home to a few of the city’s veterans who remember the Second World War. This year, they’re holding their Remembrance Day ceremony at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. Members of the public are invited to join for remarks by a reverend and a rendition of The Last Post by resident Jim Gray’s grandson, with refreshments to follow.

This year, the Richmond News caught up with two residents, both 95, who shared their memories of the war from different sides of the ocean.

Natalie Montgomery:

Building planes, making music during Second World War Q: Tell me about your experience during the war.

I worked in Toronto at the Mosquito aircraft factory.

I lived in Calgary at the time. They would send you there, pay your wage and find you a boarding place.

It was very interesting, but then the real reason I wanted to go was to take lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Music. I took a tram all the way into Toronto and then back again [to the factory in Weston] at night.

Q: What about romance?

Gilmore Gardens resident Natalie Montgomery worked in an aircraft factory during the Second World War. She said she was constantly worried about losing family and friends. Megan Devlin photo Q: How did it make you feel, working in that aircraft factory?

Useful. I was very proud to make a contribution in my own little way.

There were a lot of people there. Men who couldn’t serve because they had a physical problem. Some of them were nice, and some of them were not nice because they were upset that they couldn’t serve. So this was their way.

Q: What was it like, having your family and friends away at war?

It was really terrible. You just didn’t know when you

I did meet some New Zealand guys. I was on the train going back to Calgary from Toronto and there was a whole group of New Zealand aircraft officers. I nearly married one. My last name was Montgomery, and his first name was Montgomery.

Q: Why didn’t you get married?

He was then shipped away overseas. And I went to Toronto. And we just had to forget about it. In the wartime, sometimes it’s better. I don’t think I would have survived going to live in New Zealand.

Q: What happened when the war ended?

Well, then they shipped you back. I’ve been interested in Mosquito airplanes ever since. Never had a ride in one, though.

Q: What does Remembrance Day mean to you?

It brings back a lot of memories. Many, many memories.

Actually, it would be nice, in a way to put them behind you. But you just can’t. And actually, I won’t. I want to bring it forward and remember them.

Jim Gray:

‘Let’s stop all wars’: Richmond vet who toured Iraq, Egypt Q: Where were you living when the Second World War began?

Edinburgh, Scotland. At the start of the war I’d be, what, 16 years old? So I went and volunteered. I was called up when I was 18.

I became an armourer in the [Royal] Air Force, which meant I had to arm the planes—bombs and guns. I didn’t fly well. I went up in planes, but I wasn’t a pilot.

And, I think, the year following I was posted overseas.

Q: What was that decision like, to leave home?

I don’t know what my mum and dad thought. It was just time to go, that’s all.

Q: Where were you posted?

I ended up in Iraq for over six months. I passed through Baghdad and ended up in the hospital because I had heat exhaustion.

They took me on a stretcher, naked, covered me with a sheet and cooled me down with blocks of ice.

And then I came down through Israel, and stayed there for a wee while. Then down into Egypt. I was there for over two and a half years.

I didn’t see any fighting, because the Germans had already moved up from Egypt, further north into southern Italy.

Marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, TransLink has introduced a line of commemorative Compass Cards to honour Canadian veterans and to raise money for a worthy cause.

“We are proud to release commemorative Compass Cards in honour of all Canadian veterans who have served our country,” said a TransLink news release about the two cards, which are emblazoned with poppies and inscribed with “Lest we forget.”

COMMUNITY MATTERS For the betterment of the community Matthew McBride Richmond Poppy Fund

RICHMOND POPPY FUND CONTINUES COMMITMENT TO LOCAL HEALTH CARE

ach year, Canadians remember those who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty to protect our freedom and liberty. As a former member of the armed services, Matthew McBride, coordinator of resources for the Richmond Poppy Fund and organizer of the Richmond Remembrance Day parade, believes it’s important to remember those who lost their lives in combat and those who suffer afterwards.

“Over 117,000 Canadians lost their lives and many more veterans were lost after their service due to physical or mental illness,” says McBride.

While it is a time of remembrance and mourning, McBride also sees it as an opportunity to bring all citizens of a community together.

Help support the health of Richmond residents and make a donation to help those in need of care.

If you would like more information about making a donation, please visit richmondhospitalfoundation.com

or call us at 604.244.5252

“What’s great about Richmond is that every year, we have more and more high school students who want to stand outside and hand out poppies. It can be difficult to find anyone that will want to volunteer their time on a wet and cold Saturday morning, and we are incredibly grateful for this gesture. It’s what makes this community so special.”

The Richmond Poppy Fund has always believed it is their duty to use a portion of the funds they raise to benefit not only Veterans but also their families and the community that it proudly serves. Richmond Hospital has long been a beneficiary of the Richmond Poppy Fund’s generosity.

“We’ve been long-time supporters of the Richmond Hospital because we begin our lives here, we come back during the course

of our lives for maintenance and checkups, and we ultimately, end our lives here. Every community needs great health care to take care of its citizens throughout their lives,” says McBride.

McBride, a resident of Steveston, believes that everyone in Richmond needs to take an active role to improve local health care for a stronger, healthier future. “We need new equipment and new infrastructure at the hospital and everyone in this community has to play a part in making that happen.”

Poppies are available by donation at various locations throughout Richmond, including all major malls, liquor stores, and at Richmond Hospital.

How can you and your company get involved in improving health care in Richmond?

Farming vital during the war and get some food and a place to sleep.

Max offered him work on the farm, spading and gardening for room and board.

Lynda Pasacreta RICHMOND NEWS

Employers may complain about a labour shortage today, but try running a farm during the Second World War. Richmond’s furtile soil was in demand given food shortages and war rations at the time, but with so many young men at the front and the local Japanese community interned, harvesting and getting produce to market was no small task.

Add to that the fact most of the transportation vehicles were being used to support the war efforts, and farmers were doubly challenged.

To illustrate just how hard up people were, Wally Paulik, whose family owned Paulik farm in Richmond during the war, told a funny story that describes the situation experienced by both farmers as well as regular citizens.

As well as the farm, Wally’s folks owned a lampshade store on Main Street in Vancouver. One day a man threw a brick into the lamp shade store window. Max Paulik caught the fellow and found out that he had only thrown the brick so he could go to jail

The would-be criminal was hired and turned out to be a fantastic worker.

Wally Paulik told the story after being invited to speak to the Richmond Garden Club to give us a historical reference on our beloved Paulik Park, a six-acre city park in the middle of Richmond.

FULLY LICENCED LUNCH & DINNER CATERING

It is interesting to note that on July 20, 1942, the Veterans’ Land Act passed, forming thousands of small one to two acre plots of farmland for veterans, setting the stage for future “hobby farms.” We still have some of those hobby farms in Richmond.

Today, we can easily see how valuable farmland was for folks to survive during those tough war years. We need to continue to protect our remaining farmland, because in a time of crisis, it may be the most important thing we have.

Lynda Pasacreta is the current president of the Richmond Garden Club.

The city purchased the land from the Paulik family mid-2000 and Richmond Garden Club adopted the care of the perennial gardens in 2008. The Club members and community volunteers continue to care for the gardens today.

The Paulik family owned a farm on this land back in the late 1920s. The Paulik family consisted of Dr. Max Paulik, a trained forester, who worked in the forests of Europe and the Soviet Union, and his wife Irene Paulik, who designed the perennial garden beds in Paulik Park. Their children, Wilmar (Will), Igor (Egar), Waldemar (Wally) and Valentine (Val), were put to work at an early age to help run the farm.

The Paulik farm was just one of many in Richmond providing produce for the whole of the Lower Mainland. In fact, in its early years, Richmond’s agriculture and fishing

Wait, is that a cantering Campbell? passenger on the same journey 101 times.

Alan Campbell

Jenny came to my rescue to save my blushes.

At the cross-ties, for the first time I dug the muck out of his hooves with the pick, with a great deal of trepidation. Do NOT crouch down. I did it and, quite rightly, got told off.

HORSING AROUND (PART 5)

In a bid to strike something off his bucket list, reporter Alan Campbell enlisted the help of Yolanda Blommers, of Blue Meadow Farm, to learn how to ride a horse. Blommers has been using her 30 plus years of expertise to get Campbell competent in the saddle.

Yolanda demonstrated once more how to put the bridle on, doing the “little hug” with

the right shoulder and, using my left hand, placing Yetter’s snaffle bit near his mouth, while pressing my left thumb into the corner of his mouth to open his teeth apart.

Before the next lesson, I’m definitely going to Google all of this, I’m determined to do it myself, without the help of Yolanda…or Yetter.

Blink and you’d have missed it.

It was but a fleeting few strides, but guess who cantered for the first time this week?

Just in case the obvious evades you…it was me — on only my fifth riding lesson, no less.

An hour earlier, newsroom colleague and accomplished rider Megan suggested I’d be cantering one day. Turns out, it was today.

For the uninitiated, the canter is the third gear, after walking and trotting.

After explaining what my hands, legs and feet should be doing (and might be feeling) when the canter kicks in, instructor Yolanda talked about “how to sit in balance” and “go with the motion of the horse.”

She then gave me the go-ahead to give Yetter “the signal” with my left foot (a squeeze with the inside foot, while pulling the outside one back a few inches).

In the first go, I lunged back and forth like a rag doll on a rocking horse.

These are great lesson horses at Blue Meadow, however, and if my weight went too far forward or back, Yetter would sense there’s an issue and quickly throttle down.

Yolanda suggested going one-handed on the reins, with the other hand gripping under the front of the saddle to help me feel and resist the forward motion a little.

Like most of Yolanda’s words of wisdom, it worked like a charm and there I was, for a brief few strides in a small circle, cantering.

I am allowed to say it felt easier than the sitting and posting trots? (Maybe I’ve yet to earn that right. Who knows?)

But it absolutely did. There. I said it. Shoot me. It felt more natural than anything I’d

Getting Yetter’s halter off was easier than putting it on.

learned thus far and it felt wonderful.

During the canter itself, I wasn’t really sure what to do to be honest. Should I sit, stand?

Yolanda said it didn’t matter too much at this stage. It was more important to simply get a feel of a horse in more motion.

What did it feel like? It felt like a giant machine coming to life underneath me. I was grinning like a Cheshire cat and was so pleased with myself that I had to get Yolanda to repeat the next instructions. Her mouth was moving, but I wasn’t listening.

She was going to film the canter, but as it was my first, she didn’t want to put too much pressure on. And I’m not sure the iPhone 6 can take two-second videos…

Earlier, on arrival at the stables, I checked the whiteboard, to see I was on Yetter again.

I went to the horses’ lockers to fetch his saddle and tack, before heading to the cross-ties, where I noticed he was out in the paddock.

Should I go get him and bring him in? Instructor Jenny asked if I could bring Yetter in.

Sure, how hard can that be?

I took his halter and lead rope into the paddock, got to Yetter and looked at the halter and looked at Yetter’s head. He looked at me.

I looked back. He even leaned his long head towards the halter. Nothing. I went blank.

I’d been shown this a few times already. But it’s a bit like the person who never drives and then, when finally behind the wheel, has no idea which route to take, despite being the

Richmondites’ private lives on show Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Many of us collect things, but some people have taken collecting to a whole different level.

In a new exhibition at Richmond Museum, thousands of items collected by Richmondites, from toy soldiers to a Hindi god, are on display.

“What you see here is the cream of the cream of the people in Richmond who are collectors,” said Greg Walker, chair of Richmond Museum.

“The idea started when our staff said, ‘what can we do in Richmond?’ We found out very quickly there is a lot of people who collect things, including many of the staff members.”

Collections include RCMP uniforms, sewing machines, books, costumes, trolls, mineral stones and everything about Hanson — an American pop trio.

“I have loved them for the past 21 years.

I have seen them in 10 cities, in 23 concerts,” said Alfieri.

“I always buy their T-shirts, have the original CDs, and posters, which are everywhere on my bedroom walls.”

The exhibition includes an outstanding collection which boasts a Hindu god, a door from India, a Chinese Terracotta Warrior and a Brazilian costume to name but a few items.

Alfieri said she is “a little embarrassed but also very proud and excited” to show off her collection.

This collection is part of a larger one amassed by Vancouver entrepreneur and collector Helmut Eppich, who had a very diverse workforce and travelled the world to collect objects from every country where he had an employee, bringing the items back to Canada.

“I want to tag it in social media and hope the boys will be able to see it,” said an excited Alfieri.

Walker said he hopes that by visiting the exhibition, people who love collecting will realize that they are not alone.

“He [the collector] has donated a lot of these collections to Richmond Museum.

This is a way for us to celebrate the diversity of Richmond,” said Walker.

Another collection shows off thousands of toy soldiers. Walker said the collectors spent two days lining them up in perfect order.

“The collector is someone who has real passion for toy soldiers. Such detail only

(Above, right) Greg Walker, chair of Richmond Museum, is pictured in front of the Eppich Collections. Daisy Xiong photos gathers among those who really really believe in their collections,” said Walker.

Ana Alfieri is an employee at the mu-

seum and is also a contributor to the exhibition. She has been following the American pop trio, Hanson, since 1997.

“If you have passion and a collection, it’s okay. Be proud of it,” said Walker.

“Everybody has a collection. I hope the exhibition will inspire people to feel like talking about their collections more.”

Goalkeeper Jason Roberts looks to back host UBC to USports title Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

A season of which he has had the goalkeeping spotlight all to himself will culminate with Jason Roberts trying to help the UBC Thunderbirds win their record 13th national championship on home turf.

The fourth-year Richmond FC product has thrived in a starting role with the highflying Thunderbirds that will take a 17-4-2 record into the eight-team tournament and is fresh off winning their second straight Canada West Championship last weekend. Roberts has yet to lose in 14 starts (12-0-2) and his 7.5 shutouts ranks top 10 all-time in Canada West regular season play.

The McMath graduate will be looking to add to his impressive totals on Thursday (6:30 p.m.) when UBC opens play against the Carleton Ravens at Thunderbird Stadium. The USports Championships also features York, Montreal, New Brunswick, Cape Breton, Quebec Montreal and CanWest runner-up Trinity Western. The championship game goes on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Roberts is one of six Richmond players in the UBC program, joining Caleb Clarke, Riley Pang, Rylan Sangha, Theo Lorenz and Liam Robinson.

Roberts was named to the Canada West Second All-Star Team, along Pang and Clarke.

“This is something we have been building towards and are really looking forward to,” said Roberts. “Once (head coach) Mike (Mosher) found out we were hosting nationals, he definitely started to work the phone (to bring in additional tal-

ent). But we also have a lot of fifth-year guys too who have really put in the time to be in this position.

“We were fortunate that we got to host Canada West (playoffs) as well so we are really comfortable with playing at home and being in familiar surroundings in front of our own fans is definitely going to help a lot.”

Roberts came through Richmond F.C.’s Metro program before joining Fusion F.C. when the B.C. Premier Soccer League was launched.

He still had another season of youth soccer when he committed to UBC. To better prepare him for the transition, he skipped his final year in U18 and played in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s premier division with Richmond FC Hibernian. He will re-join his hometown club once UBC season’s has concluded.

UBC’s dominate run has included some matches where Roberts has seen little action. That changes dramatically this week with a steady diet of the top teams in the nation.

“At the time, UBC was losing all three goalkeepers to graduation so there was definitely an opportunity to play right away,” recalled Roberts who was part of the 2015 recruiting class along with Ottawa native Chad Bush and Aman Thind. “There is a night and day difference between youth and university soccer.

I thought playing a year up in senior men’s would have me better prepared.”

Roberts made 11 starts in his second-year before Bush got the bulk of work in 2017 for what proved to be his final season.

SPORTS Richmond Christian standout wins B.C. cross-country gold Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Christian is home to the city’s latest provincial high school champion.

Josh Woolgar captured the senior boys race at Saturday’s B.C. Secondary School’s Cross-Country Championships in Nanaimo. The Grade 12 student pulled away from Mt. Doug’s Liam Dwyer for a five second victory.

He ran the three lap 6.2 km course in 20:32. The event featured a whopping 262 entries.

“Liam and I separated from the field in the last 500 meters as I was chasing him down, and when I saw my coach yelling for me to ‘go now,’ I emptied the tank and managed to pass him with 150 (metres) to go and put a few seconds on him with my kick,” said Woolgar.

He is the first Richmond student-athlete to win gold at cross-country provincials since McMath’s Sam Pawluk did it 16 years ago.

Woolgar was considered the prerace favourite after capturing the youth men’s title at the B.C. Athletics CrossCountry Championships a week earlier in Abbotsford. A member of the South Surrey-based Coastal Track Club, he has made tremendous progress under coach Scott Kent thanks to his passion for running and dedication to training.

This coming Sunday: REMEMBRANCE DAY

He was 194th in his high school provincials debut in Grade 9, 94th in Grade 10 then 37th a year ago.

“I was confident, but nervous for the race as it was my last B.C. high school cross country race ever,” Woolgar con-

at Richmond Presbyterian Church, 7111 Number 2 Road, Richmond.

Steveston-London Grade 11 student Evan De Souza also had a solid showing, placing 57th in a time of 22:55.

Woolgar’s Richmond Christian teammate Romain Toureille Du Labr was 162nd (25:03) while McMath sprint star Carson Bradley showed his versatility by placing 174th (25:21). MacNeill

was well-represented by Usman Tung, Everett Ho, Sky Tan and Gabriel Nave.

In the senior girls race, McMath standout athlete Morgan Flynn finished 59th among 226 entries. The Grade 12 was clocked in 27:23 over the 6.2 km distance.

McMath also finished 13th among the junior girls teams thanks to the efforts of Selin Tasdemir (19th), Ashley Maedel (20th), Sophie James (57th) and Charlotte Murray (115th). The 4.2 km race featured 239 entries.

Dragons sweep Vegas in ABA debut at Oval

The Vancouver Dragons’ American Basketball Association debut was a sweeping success.

The Dragons opened ABA regular season play on the weekend by taking a pair of games from the Las Vegas Royals at the Richmond Olympic Oval — a 117-84 triumph on Saturday night and a 110-98 victory on Sunday afternoon.

Reigning team MVP Levon Kendall led the way in the opening night win with 25 points and 11 rebounds.

Marshaun Williams (19), Jacob Thom (14), Clay Crellin (13), Max Neumann (12)

and Stu Wallenstein (10) all hit double figures. Wallenstein added 10 rebounds.

Former NBA player Soumaila Samake chipped in with four points and two boards in his Dragons’ debut.

Even without the services of Demitri Harris, Kendall and hometown standout Elliot Mason, Vancouver still produced a comfortable win on Sunday afternoon.

Williams had 19 points.

Jovante Byrd, Crellin and Thom all added 13.

The Dragons are back in action on Saturday when the Quad City Flames visit the Oval at 7 p.m

Connaught skaters ready for Sectionals Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

It’s the biggest week of the competitive season with the Connaught Skating Club bringing over 40 athletes to Coquitlam for the B.C./ Yukon Sectional Championships, starting on Thursday.

For many, the four-day event culminates months of training — working on short and free programs — with most of the grunt work done over the summer. Some will be trying to advance to represent their province at next month’s

Skate Canada Challenge in Edmonton. For others it will be their first time on the province’s biggest stage, gaining valuable experience.

The Richmond club actually booked ice time for a recent training session at the Coquitlam Sports Centre to help its skaters become more familiar with the venue. Almost the entire Connaught coaching staff will also be attending the championships.

“When we go to competitions throughout the year, usually about three of our coaches go. But for this one we want every kid to be

as comfortable as possible with their primary coach,” explained Connaught competitive head coach and director of programs Keegan Murphy.

“This is what they all have been peaking towards. We have about five more going than last year. For our PreJuvenile and Juvenile skaters, provincial titles will be on the line. For Pre-Novice, Novice, Junior and Senior you are trying to qualify for the Skate Challenge.”

Murphy estimates he has “between five and 10” skaters with the potential of

advancing. However, with young skaters in a very competitive environment and scoring determined by judges, nothing is a certainty.

The club is anxious to see how a couple of up-and-coming eight-year-olds perform in their Sectional debut with

a very bright future ahead of them.

“They have been skating with us since they were three and are already doing double jumps,” Murphy added.

“They are not going to win but they are going to get a good taste and a positive ex-

perience from it.

“It’s a great competition and really it’s all about trying to get a personal best score.

Maybe you are competing at Pre-Novice for the first time and you are building for next year, getting that valuable experience.”
