Why I step up for rainbows Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
My stepdaughter remembers it well — the first time she saw a rainbow crosswalk. She was 15. “I was so excited,” she recalled. “It made me feel so good. I took a bunch of pictures of myself in front of it and sent them to everyone. I felt like, yeah, I belong here.”
5
I called her (now 19) last night to talk about city council’s recent proposal to paint a rainbow crosswalk in front of city hall. I wanted to know what she thought about some of the Facebook comments we’d received after we posted the story. I didn’t intend to ask her about the “yes, finally. Yeah inclusion!” comments or the “don’t push your perverted values on me” comments or even the “what a waste of taxpayers’ dollars” comments. We’ve heard all those before. I was curious about those who said, “It’s a great sentiment, but don’t do it. The crosswalk will inevitably be vandalized, and that will only make it harder, especially for young gay people trying to find acceptance.” I hadn’t thought about that, exactly.
7
I’m well aware the crosswalk could be vandalized. They often are. Last year, shortly after the steps at the Brighouse Library were temporarily painted rainbow-style in celebration of Pride Week, someone wrote, “the rainbow is a promise from God, not an excuse to sin” above the steps. So, yes, there is a very real chance that the proposed rainbow crosswalk could be vandalized. And if it is, I don’t doubt that’s going to hurt those for whom it’s a celebration of their very existence. So, maybe we shouldn’t provide a target for homophobes to spout their intolerance.
32
Before I jumped in on the subject, I thought I should check with an authority (as in, a gay youth) — hence the call. “It’s still better to do it,” was her immediate reply. “And if it gets vandalized, that would hurt, but it’s always better to push forward and make a statement, even if it backfires, than to just not try. And a rainbow crosswalk is such a loud, creative statement. It says ‘we’re here, we’re queer’ in such a positive way.”
12 31
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from her, and other gay youth, it’s that it’s far more hurtful to try to protect them by denying who they are, than to let them stand tall, even at the risk of getting shot down. Her other point was that while, as a queer youth, it would be hard to not take a vandalized rainbow crosswalk personally, that public expression of intolerance also shines a light on what so many queer people experience every day in private. “I’ve lived a pretty sheltered life. I’ve had nothing but love and acceptance from my family and friends, so it was shocking to hear the hatred when I went to one of those SOGI meetings last spring. But that kind of attitude is out there. And we should know that.” Being subjected to homophobia is never good, she added, but it makes the case for why things like Pride Week and school policies are necessary. As well as things like rainbow crosswalks.

Farmer’s fine out of line A nail in the coffin of Dear Editor, Re: “Farmer fined for 41-year-old sign,” News, June 13. I rarely feel moved to write a letter to the editor these days, but the headline in your June 13th edition made my blood boil. I gauge the readiness of Richmond’s strawberry crop by Bill Zlymans’ sign at the Westminster and Knight Street T-intersection. I’ve lived in East Richmond for more than 40 years and see his sign yearly, but it ap-
pears this is the first time the city has seen fit to enforce a silly bylaw. Mr. Zylmans is a real farmer who promotes Richmond’s agricultural viability. As a past member of the city’s agricultural advisory committee, I’m sure he may have ruffled a few feathers standing up for the full-time farmer. This action by the city almost seems vindictive. If the city truly wants to enforce a sign bylaw specifically on farmers, why not go after the ones that
state “Blueberry” or “Carrot?” This is false advertising at the very least! I wonder what would happen if I went in and asked for just one? I would urge the city to give real farmers some slack. The city’s Agricultural Viability Strategy should focus on policy that enhances farming instead of penalizing farmers for growing and promoting local produce.

the town we knew Dear Editor,
After just watching Mr. Bill Zylmans on Global TV remove his beautiful strawberry sign, which to us has symbolized the beginning of summer every year since childhood, I can’t help but feel it’s just another nail in the coffin of Richmond as we once knew it. Some people are breaking bylaws every single day, laughing all the way to the bank, making a fool of city hall, and the rest of us law-abiding citizens.
The Chinese-only signage scandal, the birthing houses, the gambling scandal, the massage parlors, none of these things have been closed, but the hard-working farmer gets slapped with two fines in one week. Good work everyone at city hall, you’ve made us all proud to live in Richmond... NOT!

Public clubs acting privately Dear Editor, Regarding comments about the lawn bowling club being run as a private club despite being publicly funded, I would like to share myexperience with the mahjong club at the new seniors centre. I inquired at the front desk about signing up for a membership and was told to ask the people now playing mahjong upstairs in one of the halls. I went up and saw about 10 tables of four people playing, and quite a few empty tables.
I asked around and was directed to a woman who said the club is full and there was a long waiting list. I did not feel welcomed and left. A couple questions popped into my mind: 1. Who gets to decide how a club using public funds is run? Are the regulations and rules in writing? 2. Who gets to allocate space at the centre to organized activities and/or clubs?

City hall: Send us Horseshoes clubhouse a ‘sign’ you get it proposal is no joke Dear Editor, Re: “Farmer fined for 41-year-old sign,” News, June 13. What a sad headline in the Richmond News. Instead of supporting farmers, the City of Richmond seems intent on collecting permit fees from monster houses being developed on farmland. So, despite the W&A sign having been in place during strawberry season for 41 years with no problems, the bylaw department now chooses to not use its discretionary power to support the tradition of farming in Richmond. Why? Farms, not 20,000-square-foot houses, build communities. For a city that talks about community and environmental sustainability, city hall’s actions certainly seem incongruous. Our city ranks low in health because of isolation (“Health in Richmond compromised by lack of connectivity,” Richmond News Dec. 4, 2015). What a great tradition to go berry picking — you get to meet others from your community, join in a common experience and create traditions for kids, while teaching them about food security and the hard work that growing and harvesting food takes.
Super Grocer & Pharmacy
Bill Zylmans’ sign was a community tradition. As he noted — the sign benefited all the farms. I would go further and say it is a good reminder to all of us of our community’s farming roots. Comparing election signs to a strawberry season sign shows a lack of understanding of the larger issue at hand. I have just come back from picking strawberries at the W&A Farm — a treat to be in the field with the sun shining and have fresh strawberries to share with friends and family. However, like Mr. Zylmans, I am rather disheartened. In a city where houses sit empty, where developers cut down trees and pay a minimal fine or no fine at all, surely we can support a farmer who has dedicated his life to the land and farming to provide food for the local community. Let’s get our priorities straight. I hope city hall will send us a “sign” that it understands what matters to Richmond citizens. I wish Bill Zylmans all the best in his struggle with city hall and hope he knows his efforts at farming and fighting city hall are appreciated and supported.

Dear Editor,
Re: “I want a $5 million horseshoe club,” Letters, June 6. If the city is handing out money, I also would like a horseshoe clubhouse with some pits in Richmond, but asking for that kind of money for any club does not seem realistic in this day and age. I have been a member of BCHA (British Columbia Horseshoe Association) since 2002 and have been playing in organized horseshoe tournaments throughout B.C. since then. There are clubs in almost every corner of B.C., but there is no place to play horseshoes in Richmond, therefore I have to travel to Burnaby Central Park, where I am a member. I used to go down to Steveston, clean up one of the pits — dig out the weeds, bring water to keep the dust down when playing, a rake and broom. There is no washroom except at the community centre, which was very inconvenient. The condition of the pits made me stop playing there. Many people walk by the Steveston horseshoe pits on a daily basis but no one notices them because they are so run down.
Horseshoes is a game all ages and genders can play. Richmond held the BC Senior Summer Games in 2009, which is when some new pits were put in. They were great, I practiced on them a few times and then someone, in their great wisdom, spent even more money and took them out and left the rundown ones behind. I would like to see a club formed in Steveston. All it would take is for the city to fix up the existing pits, put in a washroom with a storage area for rakes, shovels, brooms and some horseshoes. It certainly would not cost that much and it could be used by everyone who wanted to have fun outside with some friends or make new friends. Meanwhile, Burnaby Central Park is always looking for new members and everyone is welcome. I am a proud member of the BCHA and you can contact me if there is enough support in getting a club formed in Richmond. Check out bchorseshoe.com for more info and pictures.

MP U-turns on shark fins Lost wallet goes Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Alice Wong caused a stir in 2012 when she ate some shark fin soup for Asian media. File photo
Richmond MP Alice Wong is fully behind the new ban on importing shark fin products, despite openly advocating for the opposite in 2012. The Conservative MP for Richmond Centre is now in favour of the ban, which became law on Tuesday night in the House of Commons, as part of Bill C-68, which amended the Fisheries Act.
happy to support the ban.
Wong sparked controversy in 2012, when she tucked into a bowl of shark fin soup at a Chinese restaurant in Richmond for an Asian-only media scrum.
“While something is legal, we should be allowed to consume it. It’s about freedom of choice...” she said, explaining her previous opposition.
Her move was in response to a growing call for the City of Richmond to follow the lead of neighbouring municipalities in banning shark fin products, with Canada being the largest importer of shark fins outside of Asia.
“Assuming Bill C-68 is passed (and shark fin products become illegal), then I would not support (the importation and sale of shark fin products).”
At the time, Wong said eating shark fin was part of the Asian culture and that freedom of choice should prevail when it comes to serving the delicacy, found mostly in Asian restaurants. As Bill C-68 made its way through Parliament on Tuesday, however, Wong told the Richmond News that she’s now
Wong pointed out that the new ban would allow for the importation of the entire shark, including the fin. It’s envisaged, however, that poachers who practise shark-finning — where the shark has its fin cut off before being thrown back into the ocean to die — are not willing to harvest the entire shark. And, more importantly, it has been difficult for Canadian authorities to identify
which species of shark is being imported, when it’s just the fin coming through customs. (Previously, only products from endangered species were banned.) “We will have to wait and see (if it works),” added Wong. “Whether this is enough to deter the consumption (of shark fin products), it’s too early to tell.” Oceana Canada, one of the environmental groups which have campaigned for more protection of sharks, hailed the ban as a “great day for our oceans.” The global population of sharks has been depleted by 90 per cent following decades of overfishing. The top importers of shark fins globally are mainland China and Hong Kong, with Canada in third.
On the back of Delta banning the products in January, David Chung, owner of Richmond’s Jade Seafood Restaurant, said he would fight in court a ban on shark fin products. Chung added that such a ban would never happen in Richmond, due to the high volume of people of Chinese ethnicity living in the city. He argued that the world has “excessive” sharks, and that endangered species are already forbidden in a catch.
coast to coast Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM When Jason Chan dropped his wallet on a bike ride near Cambie and No. 5 roads last month, he had given it up as lost. He’d gone through the hassle of cancelling most of his bank cards and was in the process of getting a new driver’s licence.
So imagine his surprise when, exactly a month to Jason Chan the day he lost it, an unexpected package came through the mail with a Scarborough, Ont., postmark. The padded envelope contained his wallet, complete with every single bank card and his driver’s licence. “I was so surprised. Thanks so much to whomever did this. It’s a small thing, but it’s so helpful,” said Chan. “It had a note attached to it from Canada Post saying that it is from the undeliverable mail office and they used the address found in the driver’s license to mail it back to me.” Someone must have found it and dropped it into a street mailbox, assumed Chan, adding that nothing was missing.

Fire crews praised after boat blaze Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Firefighters are being praised for their swift action in “putting down” a blaze under the Moray Bridge, where three boats were on fire Monday afternoon. Richmond Fire-Rescue deputy chief Jim Wishlove hailed his 19-strong crew, from seven trucks, which raced to the fire on the middle arm of Fraser River about 3:45 p.m. What firefighters found was three boats ablaze, just west of Bridgeport and No. 3 roads – the largest of which was about 30-feet long. It is believed the fire started on a 20-foot fishing boat, before spreading to the other two, which were moored next to it. However, as fire crews were preparing to tackle the blaze, the boat where the fire started broke free, before drifting under the bridge, where it got stuck. And not knowing whether there was still someone on the boat or not, some of the firefighters quickly got into their water rescue gear. As they were doing that, other crew members raced to the bridge above to
pour foam and water onto the boat from above. “It was really difficult to access parts of this fire and I have to commend the crews. They attacked that fire very quickly and did a fantastic job,” said Wishlove. He noted that Richmond Fire-Rescue doesn’t have its own boat to reach fire on the water. “This was a really good tactical use of our resources.” Wishlove said the fires on the three vessels were completely extinguished after about an hour. He said Tuesday the cause of the fire is still not known and is still being investigated. That section of Bridgeport Road, which leads to YVR, had to be shut down temporarily during rush hour on Monday. One of the boats belonged to Monica Doiron, who had actually sold it on Monday, with the buyer due to pick it up on Tuesday.

She told the Richmond News it suffered extensive damage after flames jumped to hers from the next boat, although its motor was intact. Thick smoke from the blaze could be seen for miles at around 4 p.m. Monday.

Having some life insurance in place is, for many families, just as important as having a Will in place. There are at least two reasons that life insurance is so significant for families. First, the funds come to the surviving spouse (typically) quickly, mostly without any Court intervention. Second, the funds come tax free. Generally, little comes to us in Canada tax free! A young couple with very young children is especially vulnerable if one member of the couple dies. If you check the cost of raising children these days, I expect you will find that it’s expensive. Insurance costs a modest amount if you are young. As you get older, costs of insurance typically rise. So it is useful to arrange insurance while you still have capacity. Your family may one day thank you profusely for it!

Sparks fly across city council Greene’s call for financial disclosure of politicians’ family members piques indignation Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Sparks flew among councillors last week when Coun. Kelly Greene presented a motion at the general-purposes meeting calling for greater transparency of councillors’ financial statements. Greene proposed that the statements include the assets, liabilities and real property of an elected official’s children, brothers, sisters, mother and father. Her intent was to have the motion forwarded to the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) in the fall. Mayor Malcolm Brodie called the motion “draconian” and “unwise,” saying it would restrict people from running for office if their family members refused to cooperate. “If you have a brother who will not tell you his assets, that’s all that has to happen. You can’t run, and you can’t serve,” he said. “Is that what we’re looking for?” However, Greene said forcing the disclosure of family members’ finances would ad-
dress not just concerns regarding conflicts of interest, but the appearance of conflicts of interest.
tell me what fundamentally we have wrong in this city,” he said, adding that Greene kept making “accusations.”
“I think it’s incumbent on us to do everything we can to show we’re open, honest and transparent,” she said, adding that the reputation of politicians at this point is lower than that of used-car salesmen.
Greene called a “point of order,” saying McNulty accused her of making accusations of specific people. “I object to that,” she said, but the mayor let McNulty continue.
But Brodie took “great offence to those comments about what we’re doing,” saying that council members go “out of their way” to disclose conflicts and perceived conflicts. The rule most people follow is, if they think they have a conflict, they leave the room, he noted.
... it’s incumbent on us to do everything we can to show we’re open, honest and transparent.
McNulty then suggested council needed ‘a code of conduct’ and ‘a code of procedures of operations’ “because, obviously, there is no respect on this council.” “I swore an oath, I have for 25 years. And swearing an oath on the bible, I can’t give you any more. If you want to humble me more, because you want to put this forward, so be it, but you’ve got to live with your conscience.”
COUN. KELLY Coun. Bill McNulty also appeared deeply offended GREENE and asked the “presenter” — He added people threw Greene — whether she thought he and his wife aren’t “good citizens,” be- mud at him for 10 years and tried to make council look bad. And now those people cause that’s what the motion implies. “I’d like to know why we’re doing this — are at the table making decisions, he said.
Siding with Greene, Coun. Harold Steves said he was attacked during the last election because his brother owned property. He said this might not have happened if he’d put his brother’s assets on a piece of paper beforehand. The motion, which passed with amendments despite opposition from Brodie and Couns. McPhail, McNulty and Loo, was one of three Greene brought forward to bring to the upcoming UBCM convention. The second motion, which was to ask the province for a conflict of interest commissioner, was carried but with an amendment. The resolution, asking the province to “provide” a municipal conflict of interest commissioner was amended to ask the province to “consider” this position. The current practice of having to go to the Supreme Court of B.C. with a conflict is “onerous,” Greene said. She pointed to the example of Ontario where they have an integrity commissioner. The third motion put forward by Greene, to bring a motion to UBCM about suspending meetings during the election period, was defeated.

The crosswalk is a busy pedestrian crossing and is located close to city hall, city hall annex, the school district office and the library.
A rainbow crosswalk in Richmond’s city centre received almost unanimous support at council on Monday, with only Coun. Chak Au voting against it, saying the item came up out of the blue without consultation. A report recommending the rainbow crossing as well as activities for Pride Week, July 29 to Aug. 4, was added to council’s committee agenda on Friday. While Au said he’s supportive of the LGBTQ2S community, there was no time for wider consultation with the public for this permanent fixture. “We have to be cautious and careful when we make a permanent change,” he said.

Au said the creation of a rainbow crosswalk is a “specific action,” a political statement and a statement of values. “This is a multicultural community with diverse values,” he said.

Top educator fights for equity Scott Robinson’s experience has allowed him to work with kids of all ages. Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Scott Robinson, the new superintendent of schools for the Richmond School District was recently interviewed by Ali Safdari and Jason Cheung at Brighouse elementary. Maria Rantanen photo
Scott Robinson was lost deep in Beijing — there were no signs he could read and no one spoke his language. He was a tourist just trying to buy a suit but somehow got turned around and suddenly he had no idea where he was or how to communicate. In that moment, he suddenly realized what it must be like for many of the parents he works with every day, parents who have recently immigrated here and are trying to navigate the foreign cultural terrain that is the local school system while facing linguistic barriers. As the new superintendent of schools in Richmond, one of Robinson’s top priorities is communication. There are translation and interpretation services in Richmond, but he believes they should not be an add-on; rather, they should be built into all aspects of the school district. “Half the community speaks Cantonese or Mandarin at home – that needs to be built into our communications, not an afterthought,” Robinson said.
things just happened to them — and they did, frankly.”
school teachers, teaching seven classes of students, he added.
were inextricably drawn into it,” Robinson said.
The school district needs to reach into the Chinese language community, in a trusting manner, and disseminate accurate information to the immigrant population.
That was when he knew he wanted to work with kids and decided to go back to the University of Victoria to get his bachelor’s degree in education.
Robinson has signed a non-disclosure agreement about his time in Vancouver. Even without this agreement, however, he said, he wouldn’t discuss it as he has moved on.
“It’s not okay to just say, you’re in Canada now. We need to help newcomers understand, and sort of walk alongside them as we work with their kids on this stuff, so there’s a trust built up,” he said.
Robinson’s first teaching job in 1992 was in Abbotsford teaching primary grades, after which he moved on to teach middle school in Coquitlam. He started moving into administrative positions, as a vice-principal and then principal — in elementary, middle and high schools, experiencing all levels of education and dealing with kids from ages four to 19.
Robinson came to Richmond first as an assistant superintendent in 2011, leaving behind a position as principal in a Coquitlam school with 1,400 students and a large staff.
Robinson was appointed as Richmond’s superintendent of schools in April, after more than two decades in education. Troubled youth spark career When Robinson started university just out of high school, a career in teaching was the farthest thing from his mind, determined not to follow his parents into education. After a few years at the University of Victoria, he took a job as a tutor in a group home for troubled youth. The youth in his care were kids who came from dysfunctional homes with poverty, addictions and abuse and whose families couldn’t deal with them anymore. “In every case, life had not been kind to them, a lot had happened to them,” he said. He was just 21 and was coming from a comfortable home. These kids had experienced much more in life than Robinson ever had. He was only a few years older than most of his charge, but Robinson was soon promoted to house parent. This experience taught him that he could really make a difference in the lives of young people, even though he was just a few years older than them. “I liked being someone they saw who wasn’t going to judge them, (I could) be their advocate but also hold them accountable and give them a sense of control over their destiny,” Robinson said. “They were kids who often felt
“I could see where kids were coming from and where they were heading,” he said. What he took away from his broad experience was to always meet each child where they are at in the moment and not focus on some nebulous future.
I think there’s a lot of value teaching kids the sense of being part of the greater good. SCOTT ROBINSON
There is a tendency for teachers to always be preparing students for the next level, be it high school or post-secondary. “Rather than looking so far forward all the time, we just need to be saying, where is this child who is in front of me right now, this second,” Robinson said. “Are they hungry, then maybe I need to stop focusing on the math lesson for this child and do something about that. Are they tired, maybe there are some steps I need to take. Because if they’re hungry and tired, they’re not going to learn the math lesson.” Robinson acknowledges there is a lot of pressure on teachers to get through the curriculum while at the same time focus on the unique needs of each student. This is particularly challenging for high
While he was pleased that his sphere of influence was growing, he missed working with students, the thing that fuelled him the most. After a year and a half in Richmond, he “jumped ship” to take a position of associate superintendent in Vancouver. After a year in that role, he moved up the ladder to superintendent in Vancouver. Taking on the top education job in province’s largest municipality proved to be the toughest, yet richest, experience in his career.
Political challenges in Vancouver The city’s diverse population and huge income disparity was only part of the challenge. Vancouver’s board of education had been entrenched in a decade-long battle with the provincial government over what the board claimed was chronic under-funding of the system. Finally, in 2016, the board refused to pass a balanced budget, putting them in breach of their duties as trustees. This was the context Robinson found himself in. “There were different views on how the system should be governed (in Vancouver). And what occurred there should have been above my head and above my team’s head, but we
Although, he said his Vancouver experience taught him a lot and he doesn’t regret his time there. How to address school inequities What he took away from his experience in Vancouver was the need to fight for equity throughout the school system. This is something he wants to continue in Richmond, a city which also has its have and have-not schools. Robinson believes there needs to be a highlevel conversation about what the school district means by “equity.” However, he hopes that such a conversation doesn’t end up pitting school communities against each other. Regardless, he’d like to pose challenging questions such as: if a student comes to school privileged, do they need the same resources as the child who is less privileged. “I think there’s a lot of value teaching kids the sense of being part of the greater good,” Robinson said. It’s a conversation that will take some time and there is no simple fix, Robinson added. While Robinson has to take a high-level view of the myriad issues facing the school district — from how to assess students’ learning, to the increase in mental health issues, to communication strategies — for Robinson, his primary focus is the kids and what’s best for them. “Any time I sit down with a group of kids, they amaze me — every time,” Robinson said. “When you think about it, they are the ones we are here to serve.”

Secondary school size matters: Union Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Size matters was the message from the Richmond Teachers’ Association (RTA) to the board of education on Wednesday evening. Liz Baverstock, RTA president, said her aim was to help the board view the LongRange Facilities Plan (LRFP) through a “lens of equity” for teachers and students. “The differing sizes of schools in our district have an impact on (teacher) workload and student choice,” she told the board of education.
SUMMER 2019
SALE
The union is urging the school board to reconfigure catchments to help make them more equal in size. That, in turn, would give students more choice and relieve the workload of teachers in smaller schools.
PREMIUM OUTDOOR APPAREL & EQUIPMENT
Currently, smaller schools can’t offer as many sections of a certain course, and students often miss out on taking a course they want because of the limited times it’s offered, according to the RTA brief. There are often fewer clubs and extra-curricular activities as well.

The brief also outlines how an “unhealthy competition” results when teachers compete for students to take their elective courses, those courses that teachers are often most passionate about. Board chair Ken Hamaguchi said when he was in high school in Richmond, it seemed there was a wider range of electives, where students could pursue their interests. He pointed to an example of a Cambie student he met who was taking geography online, something he felt should be offered in a school setting. “I remember we had two or three geography classes in a grade (when I was in school), so it wasn’t an issue of if there were enough to form a class,” Hamaguchi said. “The fact she had to do in it online, that’s not a high school experience.”
Also, teaching assignments in high schools with fewer than a thousand students are “more complex.” For example, a teacher might have a French course that covers both French 10 and 11 or a Spanish course that covers Spanish 11 and 12 with students from grades 9 to 12 in it. Split classes are especially challenging in higher grades because there is more content than in lower grades, according to the RTA. In addition, teachers need to choose whether to run split classes or not offer those courses at all. In contrast, in larger schools, teachers have fewer split classes. In their brief, the RTA say they think the ideal high school size is 1,200 students. Currently, school populations in Richmond secondary schools range from 499 students at Palmer secondary to 1,214 at McMath. “We have schools with quite a lot of excess space and we have schools where we don’t even have full access to their staffroom – because their staffroom needs to be used as a classroom or their PE-health classes,” Baverstock said. The RTA brief was a preliminary look at the impact school size has on teacher workload and student choice, suggesting the board should study it more in depth. The report will be reviewed by school district staff and will look to carry out “further studies and consultation moving forward on the issue,” according to the school district. Trustee Norm Goldstein suggested having a small high school might be a good thing, even though it couldn’t offer as many extracurriculars. “On the plus side, a smaller school, if so planned, offers a small-school environment so you get to know more people (which is) part of the small-school philosophy,” he said. But, he added, Richmond’s schools aren’t planned as small schools. A special school board meeting will be held on June 26 at 7 p.m. with a recommendation to accept the draft LRFP. There will be an opportunity for public questions.

The 2011 immigration case, as reported by Global News, involved Kwok Chung Tam, an alleged “heavyweight” in the Big Circle Boys gang, according to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) records. A bare trust arranged by Peschisolido and Co. “allowed Tam to conceal his ownership stake in a $7.75-million purchase of a 3.7-acre property in Coquitlam, B.C. that sold for $14.8 million in 2015,” Global News reported June 11.

That case involved a dispute over the sale of a $6.2 million Surrey property owned by a numbered company, whose shares were held by a number of companies in a bare trust.

The plaintiff and purchaser, court records show, was Chinese businessman Yu Lu Zhang, who was “involved in substantial construction projects building bridges, highways and public buildings” in China. The records indicate Peschisolido was hired by Zhang’s son to prepare a holdback agreement for the deal, which eventually fell through. Global News asserted there are links between the Surrey deal and a “transnational money laundering investigation at a Richmond casino.” When asked, Peschisolido said, “when I acted as a lawyer, I acted with complete professionalism.”

Heron part Youth advocate to form own city council of Night Out Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Last week’s council meeting included several contentious issues and split votes on topics dividing the City of Richmond, but one unanimous vote resonated with a group of high school students in attendance: all councillors were on board to support creating a youth city council. Grade 11 McRoberts student Annie Lai was attending her first city council meeting and she and a group of youth made a presentation about their vision for a youth governance structure — a platform for youth to connect and build up their confidence as well as a forum of ideas. “(It would be) a place where we can feel safe, where we can debate, critically think, talk about issues, not just about our city but our country as well,” Lai told the Richmond News. The youth city council would also be a way for young people to learn how municipal government works. Lai took part in the
provincial Youth Parliament in Victoria and that inspired her on a path of civic engagement. But the three days left her yearning for a regular forum to debate political topics with her peers. Lai did research into other youth city council models and from that, pulled together a presentation for Richmond to consider. Their submission to council suggested their mandate could include establishing a “General Assembly of Youth City Council,” educating youth on the three levels of government, city governance and policy-making as well as receiving direc-
tion from council on youth issues and, conversely, letting council know about issues affecting youth. Youth are sometimes afraid to express their opinions for fear of not being informed or educated enough, Lai said, but the youth city council could be a place to try out their ideas. “Sometimes (youth) worry they have the wrong opinion, or that other people will disagree (…) it’s easier to agree or not participate,” Lai said. Lai said the “nerdy side” of her liked the decorum of the city council meeting, something she experienced

also at Youth Parliament. She was impressed with the debate and discussion around the table and that, despite disagreeing, there was decorum and acceptance of the majority vote. “I think that gives it structure and that’s what I want at youth city council,” Lai said. At the council meeting, Coun. Harold Steves pointed out Richmond had a youth city council in the past but it fizzled out. But Lai is optimistic that this youth city council will be successful because the drive is coming from youth themselves. More online at Richmond-News.com
The heron, an enduring symbol of Richmond, is the subject of a public art piece installed at McLean Park in Hamilton. The art piece called the Great Blue Heron, by artists Donald Gunn and Bryn Finer, will be celebrated on June 21 at a familyfriendly evening event. Gunn and Finer worked with community members at the Hamilton Community Centre and Hamilton elementary in workshops and engagement sessions on the project. The heron reflects the natural heritage of the Fraser River delta. As a native species of this region, its continued presence relies on clean rivers, places where it can hunt undisturbed, plentiful food sources and safe places to nest. Project costs were cofunded by the Hamilton Community Association and the City of Richmond’s Public Art Program. On June 21 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. a celebration of the art piece will be part of Hamilton Night Out, where the public is invited for an evening of carnival games, activities and

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization. Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment. You can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study

A lemonade stand run by three boys under the age of 10 is back in business throughout June, raising funds for sick children who travel to Vancouver for life-saving treatment. Lucas set up the table with his two younger brothers Dallas, five, and Harrison, one, at their grandmother’s Richmond farm — Maxwell’s Strawberries U Pick Field — to help support Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon.

Christy Maxwell, the mother of the three boys, told the Richmond News how the determined kids opened their stand in the early hours of June 8. The lemonade is free, but a donation is appreciated. The boys not only enjoy contributing to the charity, their mom explained, but also love spending time with their 85-year-old grandma, Norma Maxwell, who owns the farm. “We are very fortunate that our kids are healthy, and we (our family members) want to do as much as we can to give back to society,” added Christy Maxwell. This isn’t the first time these three boys have participated in fundraising. Last year, they raised about $500, all of which they donated to BC Children’s Hospital. The fundraising goal for this year is $2,000; $1,000 has been raised so far. The three boys will continue to run the lemonade stand until the end of the month. While they’re

Steveston history written in stone Maria Rantanen
Kelvin Higo, Tashio Murao, Hayato Ogawa and Joseph Fry all want to preserve Steveston’s Japanese history. Maria Rantanen photo
MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
At the age of 20, Toshio Murao had already experienced a lot of racism and discrimination in Canada. Then he was thrown into a prisoner-of-war camp for five years. Born at the Japanese Hospital in Steveston in 1920, his family sent him back to Japan to go to school because he wasn’t allowed in Canadian schools. He came back at the age of 16, and, a few years later, when Second World War was breaking out, he joined a protest in downtown Vancouver to fight against internment. At the protest, a riot erupted and Murao was thrown into jail and was subsequently sent to a POW camp in Angler, Ont., with German and Italian soldiers. After he was released, he went back to Japan, angry at his treatment by the Canadian government. Before the war, there were 2,000 people of Japanese descent living in Richmond, many of them working in the fishing industry in Steveston. Murao’s story is just one of many of Steveston’s Nikkei (people of Japanese ancestry but not Japanese citizens), and it’s these stories of xenophobia and displacement, in-
cluding his own family’s, that inspired Kelvin Higo to push the city for a memorial in Steveston. It will be unveiled this Saturday, June 22 at 1 p.m. The project started in 2017 as the 75th anniversary of the removal of the Japanese from Steveston and Richmond was approaching. “I really want to honour our parents and grandparents for the injustice they suffered as well as the resilience and perseverance to survive that,” Higo said.

The names of the internment camps are engraved into the boulders. There is also a constellation of markers symbolizing the other places, too many to name, where the Japanese were sent. The paving stones on the ground represent the weaving Japanese women did during internment despite the harsh conditions. Hapa walks the line between public art and landscaping, Fry explained, and this project had a personal connection for him. His maternal grandparents had to leave their home in Vancouver during the war as well. Fry hopes the memorial will link generations – honour his grandparents’ generation but also teach his kids about history. “This isn’t just about the Japanese experience – it’s something we’re still seeing today and we want (the memorial) to be a statement about that,” he said.

On April 1, 1949, Japanese families were finally allowed back to the west coast of B.C. as well as given the right to vote – that’s when Higo’s family returned to Steveston.

His parents ended up working on a sugar beet farm in Alberta during the war.

Co-working space concept takes off Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A new co-working space has come to Richmond to help make small, local businesses more affordable and transform underused communal spaces into vibrant hubs of industry. CityHack, a company which rents out co-working spaces, recently opened a hub based at the Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport in Richmond. This is just the latest in a growing trend in the city. Kimberly Tholl, the founder of CityHack, said she hopes this space offers solutions for a broad group of workers, including freelancers, independent consultants and software developers whose company’s headquarters may be located in another province or country. “Metro Vancouver has become very expensive during the past decade. I’ve heard stories of small businesses, startups and freelancers who couldn’t afford office space, and they have to work from home or in coffee shops,” said Tholl. As a former independent consultant, Tholl knows the challenges people face when it comes to finding affordable working spaces. “I tried to work at home, but it was hard. Netflix is here, the snacks are there; there are just too many distractions,” Tholl said. “I ended up working in coffee shops, but you are pressured to buy food and drinks while sitting there. Sometimes you can’t even find a table.” As Tholl struggled to find a good working environment, she realized many spaces in the city are underutilized, and she started brewing an idea: transform hotel space into co-working space. Hotels could get extra exposure and traffic during traditionally quiet weekdays, and people looking for a working area could get comfortable amenities.
Kimberley Tholl set up CityHack to help out people such as Wendy Wan (right), a freelance contributor for a company headquartered in New York City. She has been using co-working spaces in Lower Mainland for several years. Photos submitted “It (the collaboration) could be a win-win situation, and then I started talking with the hotels. It turned out there was a fit,” she said. CityHack has a monthly membership model for its coworking space, with costs such as electricity, hydro, coffee, tea, printing services and high-speed internet access included in that fee. A membership also gives members access to all four locations run by CityHack. The co-working industry has expanded over the years with more companies in Richmond offering a similar service. Hilbert Ng, the owner of Network Hub, launched his business on River Road in Richmond three years ago. He said the co-working market is growing, particularly
among millennial workers. But while millennials are most open to the co-working concept, the business has attracted mixed age groups, including students to people over 50 years old, Ng added. Wendy Wan is a freelance contributor for a company headquartered in New York City. She has been using co-working spaces in the Lower Mainland for several years and recently relocated to CityHack. According to Wan, there are many benefits to using co-working space, from living a healthier lifestyle to expanding your social circle. “I worked from home for probably about a year. Frankly, it’s unhealthy. You won’t leave your house for days at a time...Using co-working space creates a 9-to-5 schedule and holds you accountable,” said Wan. “If you work alone, you have no one to talk about the day-to-day things with, even the minimal chitchat. However, I did meet lots of friendly people from co-working space; they’ve become my good friends now.”

The Uchiages have since been producing national champions with Sensei Takeshi getting help from his wife Kayoko — the All-Japan Kushin-Kai from 1977-81. Their son Toshihide is a 19-time national champion who has also reached the podium at the Pan American, Commonwealth and World Championship levels. The Uchiages train a traditional form of karate — the Goju-Ryu — formed by Master Chojun Miyagi. Each year the club hosts the Steveston Invitational Karate Tournament. The 46th edition in February attracted over 400 entries, representing 35 different clubs from around the world.

Strikers and Redcaps roll to tournament wins down south A pair of teams from the Richmond Girls Soccer Association enjoyed impressive runs at the 25th annual Skagit Firecracker Tournament on the weekend in Burlington, WA.
The U15 Richmond Strikers tuned-up for the upcoming Provincial “A” Cup Championships by overcoming a tough schedule for a perfect five-game run. The Strikers played five matches over 31 hours — surrendering just one goal which came on a penalty in the championship game. The defensive group of Saniya Mann, Lexy Shury, Mahara Remtula and Carina Wevers were fo-
cused and determined. The Strikers also scored 16 times and had a well-rounded attack with goals by Jaya Punia, Teagan Ng, Lola Hopper, Mahara Remtula, Christina Sofiktis, Janelle Tuazon-Cabido and Natalia Lawson.
The Coastal Cup champions have about two more weeks of preparation before the provincials take place July 4-7 at South Surrey Athletic Park. Meanwhile, the RGSA U10 Redcaps were equally impressive in their Skagit Firecracker debut, also rolling to five straight wins en route to their division title. The Redcaps opened the tour-
nament with a dominating 5-0 win and held off strong competition over their next two games. In the final, they were in control from start to finish, with no shots against the entire game and clinched the championship with a solid 2-0 win. The Redcaps where impressive defensively the entire tournament, surrendering only two goals, led by a very strong backline of Nika Harrower, Nyree van der Eerden and Natalie Crasto. They were equally as impressive offensively with 13 goals, getting key tallies when needed from Lexi Howitt, Madi Karamanian, and Kaia Harvey.
U10 Redcaps celebrate their tournament win in Burlington, WA.

Battle of the Badges a hit at Olympic Oval Mark Booth MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Take the ingredients of the Dolphin Classic into a world class facility and that was the vibe of the inaugural Battle of the Badges Canada Basketball Tournament. The three-day event wrapped up on Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval and certainly met the organizers’ expectations and then some. A combined 12 teams competed in the Open and Masters Divisions, including from five different U.S. states, along with Trinidad and Tobago. All players work in law enforcement, as firefighters or in the military and it was evident many had played at the collegiate level. The Canadian event was created by the Anderson family and served as a fundraiser for the Duncan Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund — the longtime high school coach who spent much of his life making a difference with the basketball programs at the schools he worked at as a teacher. His eldest son John is a youth corrections officer who not only organized the tournament but helped the Lower Mainland-based Axes and Arms capture the over 40s Masters Division with a win against the Atlanta-based Dekalb Knights.
“I’m part of this Battle of the Badges Facebook group and just threw it out there to see if anyone wanted to come,” explained John. “We have also developed a lot of connections over the last 10 years by travelling to tournaments. We met a lot of American teams and developed friendships. They jumped all over this.” John leaned heavily on the help of his brother James and sisters Kathleen and Sarah to pull it off. He was also very grateful for the work of Richmond Sport Hosting.
phin Park legend Navi Sekhon still showed he can be lethal from three-three-point range, earning MVP honours for Axes and Arms in the Masters title game. He is a Burnaby firefighter.

“They really helped us get our feet on the ground. They hooked us up with volunteers and they were a big help. It was like a Dolphin Park atmosphere (including a beer garden and in-game announcer). A shout out to (Dolphin founders) Bira (Bindra) and Bruce (Watson) for that. “We also had West Coast College of Message Therapy and Pure Form Physio out here and both were fantastic. The players really appreciated their services and it just added to the experience. Anderson says the tournament will be back in 2020 and likely be held every other year so it doesn’t coincide with the World Police and Fire Games. The hope is to the tournament proceeds will allow multiple scholarships to be awarded to high school graduates, potentially through Basketball B.C.
