Can you spell COVID prevention? Eve Edmonds

EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

I was chatting with a number of teachers recently. Wow. Talk about uncertainty and confusion. When talking to one, a science teacher, I said something about not doing labs. “Really?! We’re not having labs? That’s the cornerstone of my class,” was their slightly panicked reply. And this is, what, seven days before kids are back in class? I only knew because our reporter spent hours combing through the Richmond School District’s 20-page health and safety plan released last week. Another teacher I spoke to on the weekend said she hasn’t a clue what’s going to happen Sept. 10 — and isn’t particularly interested in ﬁnding out. “I just delete all those emails, because it’s all going to change anyway.” The whole thing is evolving so fast, there’s no point trying to ﬁgure it out until they

make a ﬁnal decision, she said. She also had a theory that Richmond School District waits until it sees what other districts do before making a move. “It’s actually smart,” she added. Why not hang back and see what works? Nothing like having a bit of evidence to inform a decision. Yet another teacher said, it’s not really about particular school district plans, anyway. Districts are tweaking things as best they can, but it really comes down to what the provincial government mandates. And, at this point, it’s mandating things like Grade 8 and 9 classes of up to 30 students not wearing masks in 75-squaremetre classrooms. They’re not even expected to social distance, which of course would be impossible anyway. So why not spread the kids out? as a number of parents have suggested. Put kids in other facilities — community centres, churches, what have you. A group of Burkville parents whose kids at-

tend Brighouse elementary wrote the Richmond School District suggesting it use the recently closed Sea Island School, which is now housing two child care centres and continuing education. It seemed like a smart solution, but the district said no because there aren’t enough teachers to go around. If they put staff in Sea Island, Brighouse classes will be over crowded. The no-brainer answer to that is hire more teachers, but that’s costly. I’ve also heard plenty of parents talk about online learning. One parent seemed beside herself with frustration that teachers don’t simply live stream their classes. “It’s as easy as pushing a button,” she said in an email to the News. Good point. We’re certainly doing lots of button pushing at our workplaces. But here’s the thing, the days of teachers standing at the front of a class lecturing are long gone. Most of today’s classrooms are busy places full of hands-on participation. This means not only will the kids at home not be participating, but any live stream

won’t just be filming the teacher but everyone else in the class as well. This is fine for a bunch of consenting adults, but what about when someone’s bullied about something personal. It can be recorded and sent anywhere. Our kids have a right to privacy. This isn’t to say we shouldn’t develop online learning. Of course we should, but with the understanding it requires more than pushing a button. The no-brainer answer to that is, use some of our tech-savvy teaching professionals to develop online teaching modules, but... wait for it...that’s costly. Granted, we can’t simply throw money at these challenges. For this school year to go well, we’ll need innovation, determination, and a lot of flexibility. But we’ll also need resources. I get that we’re already looking at a ballooning deficit, but I fear it’s a case of pay me now or pay me later. Smaller class sizes and online course development are essential if we don’t want to see what havoc a second shut down could wreak on our economy — not to mention our kids.

LETTERS Let’s learn from kids Dear Editor, I am neither an educator, parent or student. I am a frustrated and disappointed grandparent who is disillusioned to read, as the months drag on, that the brightest minds in this province are unable to solve the problem of how to educate our young people in a safe environment. I witnessed groups of children in daycare settings and day camps coming together this summer in social learning groups. Have there been any COVID health concerns reported in these learning environments? If so, I have not heard of any. I was playing with some small children yesterday who were engrossed in building a bridge across a stream. One of the little boys looked up and said, “Why can’t we just have school outside?” Maybe the children will lead us! Mary Miller RICHMOND

Speak up for students Dear Editor, Re: “School plan ‘disturbing,’” Letters, Aug. 27 Thank you to the Richmond News for continuing to give a voice to the different perspectives on Richmond’s back-to-school plan. Responding to Mr. Mikulin’s letter, the current back-to-school plan is also confusing and inconsistent. For example, although elementary students who opt-in to temporary online learning keep their spots in their schools, any high school student who opts into the Richmond Virtual School (RVS) will lose their school spots. Furthermore, only Grade 8 and 9 students are mandated to go back to school full time (ﬁve days a week), full hours with no reduced class size whereas Grade 10, 11, and 12 students attend only half days in reduced class sizes. For families with high school students, especially those in Grade 8 and 9, they are caught between a rock and a hard place — place their kids daily into an environment where there is no social distancing

in the classroom or mandatory PPE protection, or enroll them into online learning and lose their school spots.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Businesses send out COVID-19 alerts,” News, Aug. 27

I agree with Mr Mikulin that we must speak up for our students who are important members of our community. While the provincial government is placing ads on TV and radio featuring Dr. Bonnie Henry telling the general public that schools will be safe in the fall, it’s parents, teachers, school administrators and staff who are the ones on the ground, here, experiencing the reality. A reality that changes as COVID numbers continue to rise.

After I read your article, I was alarmed to read that there has been a COVID-19 case at the Steveston Outdoor Pool with no information from the City of Richmond. Every time I go online, I see that there are cases or exposures at different businesses, restaurants, ﬂights and workplaces. The Steveston Outdoor Pool is a public facility with hundreds of people going through each week. I would hope that the City would provide information to the public that is using this facility.

Fun fact: as reported by media, while making the fore-mentioned TV ad, the kids acting in the ad had to be social-distanced while making the ad. Therefore, the kids in the ad had safer protocols than our students will when they return to their classrooms in the fall.

I have brought my grandchildren there several times this summer. It makes we wonder if enough safety measures are in place to open these public facilities. I walked by today and saw staff standing beside each other chatting with no masks and very little social distancing.

Disturbing, confusing, inconsistent. Yes, let’s speak up and keep our students, teachers and school staff safe. Cindy Cheung

Autistic teen attacked at school Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond RCMP is asking for witnesses to an attack on an autistic teenager in a school basketball court. According to police, the boy was playing basketball at Richmond Secondary around 7 p.m. last Friday when he was allegedly punched by another male. The RCMP said two witnesses called police after the assault at the Minoru Boule-

vard school, which led to the victim being taken to hospital. However, by the time police arrived at the school, the victim had left the scene.

They decided to look for him at Richmond Hospital after the “signiﬁcance of the injuries” the witnesses described to them. According to one witness, the male suspect was told the teen had a developmental disability and, despite knowing this, punched the teen in the face. The victim suffered a large cut to his lip and a concussion. Cpl. Adriana Peralta, Richmond RCMP

spokesperson, said the victim did not tell his parents because he “did not want to upset them.”

“This incident has had a profound effect on the victim’s family,” said Peralta. “The victim’s parents are doing everything they can to encourage and support their son and then this happens.” An email from the victim’s father to RCMP investigators talked about how “guilty” he feels about the situation. “I always told him to embrace people, to talk to people, because people are good and he can only succeed together with people, and not alone,” said the email. Richmond RCMP is asking for other witnesses to come forward and contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212. Richmond-based AutismBC released a statement asking the public to show more understanding and respect to those with special needs.

Dog that mauled senior won’t be put down Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The dog that attacked an 80-year-old woman last week in Richmond will not be put down. The Richmond News reported last week how Gian Ozla was knocked to the ground and mauled by the pit-bull type animal while out for her twice daily walk at Francis and Kirkmond roads, just west of No. 1 Road. The City of Richmond’s bylaw department and the RCMP investigated the incident and, because the city can’t find any evidence of a previous attack, they could only issue fines against the owner and classify the dog as “dangerous.” A total of $1,700 worth of fines have been issued, including for having a “dog at large,” “injuring a person,” and “not having the dog licensed.” As a result, the owner must leash and muzzle the dog when in a public setting. Family members of the victim were under the impression the dog had attacked someone before and, as well as being shocked by the incident, were concerned for the safety of the public. However, Clay Adams, city spokesperson, said, “We could not confirm any pre-

vious attacks by the same dog, so are treating this as an isolated incident. “While aware that some people are saying this dog has attacked before, we have no evidence, records or reports to conﬁrm that at this time. “If there are neighbours or other parties who may be aware of other incidents, we encourage them to call City Bylaws at 604276-4345 with information.” If there had been a previous incident, the city could have considered ordering the euthanization of the animal. Adams added, however, that in most such instances, the owner volunteers to have the pet put down. The News has reached out to the RCMP to ascertain where their investigation is at. However, it’s understood that for criminality to be considered, there must be intent to harm. The News reported how the victim suffered a concussion after the dog leapt on her while she walked past its home. As she lay on the ground trying to defend herself, the dog clamped its jaws around her hand, before starting to pull back, withthe hand still ﬁrmly in its grip. A neighbour witnessed the attack and ran across to scare the dog away. She spent the night in hospital before being released in the early hours of the next day.

Driver, 61, dies in tunnel smash

A 61-year-old woman from Richmond has died after being involved in a head-on collision in the Massey Tunnel in the early hours of Wednesday. Police reported how, just after midnight on Sept. 2, a vehicle travelling southbound on Highway 99 crossed the centre line inside the tunnel, colliding with an oncoming vehicle. The Richmond woman driving the northbound died in the crash. The passenger in her vehicle and the driver of the vehicle that crossed the centre line have been taken to hospital with serious injuries. The woman who died has not yet been named. Staff Sgt. Quentin Frewing, of the Lower Mainland Trafﬁc Services, said “Alcohol may be a factor in the crash however the investigation is in the early stages, and all possible factors are being considered.” — Alan Campbell/Richmond News

The employee’s last shift was on Thursday, Aug. 27 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. “All crew members who may

have been in close contact with the employee have been asked to self-quarantine until further information is available,” said McDonald’s Canada. McDonald’s Canada is also asking any guests who may have visited the restaurant on Aug. 27 to seek directions from the BC Centre for Disease Control through their website. “Maintaining the health and well-being of our crew and guests is our top priority, and we will continue to monitor and adapt measures, where necessary.” The restaurant has closed its

doors for further sanitizing and cleaning by a “certiﬁed third party.” Since COVID-19, McDonald’s Canada said it has added extra safety measures including: •

Hand sanitizer dispensers

•

Cleaning high-touch surfaces and guest tables

•

Floor markers for social distancing

Drug seizures plummet at border Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Drug seizures at the B.C. border have plummeted during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the most recent data available, provided to the Richmond News by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), drug seizures in June totalled just 140, down 83 per cent from the same month last year. In June 2019, there were 837 drug seizures by CBSA at the border. April and May 2019 saw 805 and 482 seizures, respectively. In comparison, this year there were just 104 seizures in April (a decrease of 87 per cent) and 131 in

May (down 73 per cent).

or local police.

However, it’s “too early to identify broad drug market changes” over a relatively short period of time, according to Cpl. Daniel Michaud, spokesperson with the RCMP’s federal serious and organized crime section.

CBSA is in charge of ofﬁcial points of entry along the border, however, RCMP is responsible for the border between those ofﬁcial crossings — and has heightened surveillance along the border due to the pandemic, said Michaud.

“While we don’t have any statistical data, it would seem reasonable the closure of borders to non-essential travel, and the decline in world trade, has had an impact on the supply chains and drug trafﬁcking patterns and routes,” Michaud told the News.

The “vast majority” of drugs seized at the border are linked to organized crime, he added.

Once unreported drugs or controlled substances are discovered, the traveller is arrested and the drugs seized, according to a CBSA spokesperson, and referred to either RCMP

Canada’s borders are currently closed to non-essential travel. While that likely had an impact on the supply chain, Michaud said that, on the same token, organized crime groups are “resilient and adaptive.”

Teacher organizes to Parents feel fearful ensure voices heard Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Steveston-London math and science teacher Lisa Descary is not impressed with Richmond’s back to school plan, but she doesn’t blame the district as much as the provincial government. Descary recently participated in a protest outside Health Minister Adrian Dix’s constituency ofﬁce on Joyce Street in Vancouver. She also organized a demontration at Queen Alexandra elmentary in Vancouver on Saturday where she said they got a great reponse from passers-by. She, along with 35 other teachers, parents and students, was there to voice her concerned about B.C.’s back-to-school plan. “It is going against everything that Dr. Bonnie Henry has told us we need to do

to ﬂatten the [epidemiological] curve,” said Descary, while holding a sign calling for smaller class sizes.

“Instead of less faces in larger spaces, it’s putting more student faces in poorly ventilated, under-funded, crowded indoor spaces, and I’m terriﬁed.” In fact, the Richmond district requested halving the size of Grade 8 and 9 classes, but the province refused, she added. “I don’t know if parents realize, but there will be up to 30 students in some of those classrooms. It will be impossible to socially distance, and they won’t be wearing masks.” Cohorts of 120 students may help with contact tracing, but will do little to contain the spread of the virus, she added. Basically, it comes down to providing adaquate funding to make schools safe and listening to the concerns of teachers and parents, said Descary. — With ﬁles from Mike Howell

MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The lack of physical distancing and masks, few options for distance learning and being cut off from their home school — these are some of the concerns parents have voiced to the Richmond News after the school district released its back-to-school plan. Richmond School District spokesperson David Sadler told the News they have heard similar questions and concerns and compiled a frequently-asked questions document for parents, which was sent out Friday evening. The school district is offering three options for secondary students: back to school inperson, home-schooling (which cuts the student off from the school district) or distributed Richmond Virtual School (RVS) learning. Students in Grades 8 and 9 who enrol in the virtual school can’t complete their courses under a hybrid model — meaning some courses through RVS and others at their school, according to the frequently-asked questions document.

However, a hybrid option with RVS is available to students in Grades 10 to 12, although the district cautions there could be scheduling conﬂicts with their school.

Elementary students have four options: inperson learning at school, home schooling, distributed learning (something not offered by Richmond School District) and transition learning — temporary district-supported home learning for those not comfortable coming back in September. Safety about returning to the classroom, however, remains the biggest concern of some parents, along with what they say is a lack of real alternatives. The lack of physical distancing in classrooms is Dora Groumoutis’ biggest worry, and she doesn’t see how it would even be possible given the size of rooms in schools. She said she can’t imagine how intermediate classes that have 28 students — like her Grade 7 twins would be in — can possibly physically distance. The classes aren’t large enough, to say nothing of students in portables.

District says no to ‘Burkeville bubble’

The Richmond School District has denied an appeal by Burkville residents to use Sea Island elementary this fall to create a “Burkeville bubble.” A group of Burkeville parents and residents wrote to the school district asking 58 students from their community be redirected from Brighouse elementary, which is currently at capacity with 500 students in 22 classes and no extra space. Sea Island elementary was closed in June 2019 because only 13 students were registered there.

The letter states there are 58 students from kindergarten to Grade 7 living in Burkeville which could create three splitgrade classes at Sea Island and free up three classrooms at Brighouse elementary. “Returning our children to Sea Island is a win-win situation, for both our community and the Brighouse community as well,” the letter states. If the status quo continues, students who are bused from Burkeville to Brighouse will be exposed outside the 60-student learning group they are assigned to, explains

News.

The letter garnered 31 signatures, 16 of whom are parents and 15 of whom are “community supporters.”

The parents’ proposal requires three FTE teachers to be moved to Sea Island, wrote Robinson, but due to the number of students at Brighouse, class sizes would grow or the district would need to add new staff members to that school.

However, the district ultimately denied the request. “Although it is recognized that ultimately this would result in smaller class groupings for the Burkeville residents, the same would not be true for the remaining students at Brighouse,” reads district superintendent Scott Robinson’s response, a copy of which was obtained by the Richmond

Livestreaming should be in place

In an ideal situation, Groumoutis would like to see livestreaming set up for every classroom, so those kids who are sick or can’t attend in-person could just follow and learn from home. “There has to be the technology (available),” she said. “Technology is so advanced these days.” All parents were asked to complete a survey by Sunday indicating which option they preferred, but Groumoutis said it doesn’t give much time. “It’s our kids — they’re asking us to make these decisions in four days,” she said. “I spent more time ﬁnding a fridge.” Although, the school district clariﬁed parents can adjust their plans after completing the survey by contacting their school’s principal. Janet Wong, who has a teen going into Grade 9 in Richmond, said she believes government should continue online learning until the pandemic is under control but it seems “we have no choice but to send back our kids.” And since they have no options, she wants to see smaller classes, the school day cut in half and mandatory masks at all times at school.

Health and safety plan The school district’s WorkSafe BC COVID-19 Safety Plan includes the following:  All labs — science, foods and shops —are cancelled.

In its frequently-asked questions document, the school district says it is considering “a number of scheduling designs including alternating days” for secondary students.

City of Richmond | 6911 No. 3 Rd. Richmond BC V6Y 2C1 | Tel: 604-276-4000

The district has also received similar requests from other parent groups, according to Robinson’s response letter, which have also been denied due to stafﬁng concerns, reads Robinson’s letter.

 All students and staff will have to undergo a daily “health declaration process” to screen for COVID-19 symptoms, and there will be an isolation room in every

school for any student or staff member who falls ill at school.  Extra cleaning will be in place.  Parents are not allowed in the school without an appointment.  Masks are mandatory in high-traffic areas like hallways and buses but not in classrooms.  If a staff member or student is diagnosed with COVID-19, individuals and their families who may have been exposed will be notified.  Parents will not be allowed to bring food to school and students and staff are not allowed to share food. ‘Transitional learning’ for vulnerable students The school district is offering a transitional learning program for kindergarten to Grade 7, for “families who need more time at home.” Under transitional learning, students could return to in-class learning prior to Feb. 1, 2021 on two designated “re-entry” dates, Oct. 13, 2020 and Nov. 16, 2020. Students in the program would keep their class placement and meet with their transitional learning teacher over videoconference daily. Health of family members Many parents also expressed worries about their own health and that of family members. Melanie Booth just lost her father last winter, making her elderly mother’s role that much more important to her and her children. “How will they feel if they bring home COVID and infect or even kill their families?” she told the News. “Our children are not lab rats or a sacrificial lamb. There needs to be another option.”

Massive ﬁre at recycling plant seen for miles

Nearly 30 firefighters were on scene at a massive fire at a recycling plant in north Richmond Saturday. Smoke from the fire was visible from as far away as the North Shore. The call for the two-alarm fire came in around 7:20 Saturday evening, said Clay Adams, City of Richmond spokesperson. The fire broke out at GFL Environmental – a waste management and recycling plant – at 15360 Knox Way, near River Road between No. 6 and No. 7 roads.

Hotel worker goes on hunger strike Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“Today is Day 22 of our hunger strike, and we are still waiting for the province to tell us how they plan to help hard-hit hotel workers.” That’s the voice of Richmond’s Naden Abenes, a laid-off room attendant from the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, who fasted for ﬁve days during a hunger strike to protest the mass temporary lay-offs in her industry. Abenes was joined Monday by dozens of other laid-off workers and community supporters in a protest outside the Surrey ofﬁce of Labour Minister Harry Bains, where they and called on the minister to protect up to 50,000 laid-off workers at risk of permanently losing their jobs.

We need a legal right to eventually go back to our pre-COVID jobs. NADEN ABENES “The province helped employers delay severance payments until August 30, and during that time hotels like Pan Paciﬁc, Shangri-La, Trump, and JW Marriott Parq permanently ﬁred workers who were laidoff because of the pandemic,” added Abenes. “That is just the tip of the iceberg. I’m worried that my hotel could do the same thing. We need a legal right to eventually go back to our 15

The provincial government gave employers a 24-week extension of the provisions to delay severance payouts to workers, but without requiring them to rehire any of their laid-off workers in the future. Non-union workers from the Pan Paciﬁc Hotel spoke about the round of mass terminations they faced on the eve of the province’s Aug. 30 deadline.

Union Workers lost hours when Spud moved work to a non-union subsidiary in Burnaby, according to the B.C. Labour Relations Board. Google Maps photo

All workers who pick and pack products at Burnaby’s Food-X, which operates a warehouse on Trapp Avenue, will soon be covered by the same contract as workers doing the same jobs at Spud, which has a warehouse at Commercial Drive and Hastings Street. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 213 has long represented the Spud workers, according to an LRB ruling last week. The union accused the company of “a classic case of double breasting” in March 2019, when it transferred home delivery work from its East Van union shop to Food-X’s non-union shop, which had, until then, stored and delivered groceries and household items for third party retailers rather than its own customers, according to the ruling. The union argued Food-X was not serving a new or expanded customer base but delivering the same products to the same customers in the same geographic area as when Spud performed the work.

RE/MAX Westcoast THANK YOU

A union accusing the East Vancouver grocery delivery business Spud, which services Richmond, of purposely moving work away from its union shop to a wholly owned non-union subsidiary in Burnaby has won its case in front of the B.C. Labour Relations Board.

“The only difference, the union says, is that the picking and packing of those orders is no longer performed by bargaining unit members,” stated the ruling.

Sinfully The Best

The union applied to the LRB for a declaration that there should be a single bargaining unit for Food-X and Spud and that Food-X should be bound by the same contract the union has with SPUD. The union therefore also applied to have its certiﬁcation amended to add Food-X as a common employer and to have all the company’s warehouse workers except truck drivers, ofﬁce and sales staff added to the bargaining unit. Spud argued the union hadn’t met the legal test for a common employer declaration and that it was improperly trying to sweep FoodX’s employees into the union. The company argued it and FoodX were in a client and service provider relationship and that moving home deliveries to Food-X hadn’t adversely impacted union work.

Home deliveries had been moved to Food-X because the Spud warehouse had been overwhelmed and the company was losing customers, the company said. But the union said the company didn’t present evidence to support its claims. In the end, labour relations board vice-chair Stephanie Drake sided with the union, granting a declaration that Spud and Food-X were common employers and ordering the union’s certiﬁcation to be amended. —Cornelia Naylor Glacier Media

Map shows climate change risks

Richmond’s ground ozone mixed, ﬂooding chance high Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A new map revealing which areas in the Lower Mainland are most susceptible to climate change has highlighted Richmond’s vulnerability to ﬂooding, ground level ozone and higher summer temperatures. Much of west Richmond, for example, has a high vulnerability to ground-level ozone, and Steveston is most likely to experience hotter temperatures in the summer than other areas of the city, according to researchers from the University of British Columbia in partnership with Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health.

Richmond’s vulnerability to ground-level ozone (right) and ﬂooding (left) are two of the climate risks highlighted in a new project by UBC researchers, in partnership with VCH and Fraser Health. Vancouver Coastal Health/Fraser Health Photo A community’s overall vulnerability was calculated using three metrics: exposure to climate change events, sensitivity to those events (determined by age of the population and their pre-existing health conditions), and adaptive capacity (the community’s ability to adjust to climate change and its associated health risks).

Richmond is most vulnerable, however, to flooding — and falls into the highest range of vulnerability on the map. The project, which measures how susceptible Lower Mainland communities are to climate change-related health effects, used data from each community, collecting over 35 indicators and reviewing more than 280 epidemiological papers, to create the vulnerability maps, which include higher temperatures, wildfire smoke events, ground-level ozone and flooding.

Adaptive capacity was measured using factors such as income and social status, employment and education, race, gender and the existence of hazard response plans.

“Mapping vulnerability to the climate hazards that are relevant for our region can help target public health resources to the people and places most likely impacted,” said Michael Brauer, a professor in UBC’s School of Population and Public health, and the project’s lead researcher, in a press release.

above the earth’s surface when sunlight reacts to stagnant air and can lead to an increase in asthma or respiratory symptoms.

The exposure metric colours the city a dark blue on the map, indicating very high exposure.

Richmond’s sensitivity to ground-level ozone largely falls into the very low to low ranges, as does the city’s adaptive capacity.

Exposure to ﬂooding is represented on the map by predicted sea level rise in waterways and rivers by 2100.

Schwandt said the information can be used to develop response plans, for example, opening cooling stations in in communities more affected by heat. Over time, the maps will be updated to reﬂect community preparedness and changing demographics.

France comes to you with BC Liquor Stores’ 2017 Bordeaux release A trip to France may be off the table this fall, but that won’t stop British Columbians from savouring some of the best wines a certain southwest region has to offer. For more than three decades, BC Liquor Stores’ annual release of Bordeaux has prompted fans to camp out overnight in hopes of snagging a bottle or case of the latest coveted vintage. On Sept. 26, the 2017 Bordeaux release is expected to attract that same fervour, but given the pandemic and a late frost that led to a smaller vintage that year, customers can expect some changes including a new online pre-order request system. Barbara Philip, BC Liquor Stores’ category manager for European wines, says centuries of Bordeaux establishing itself as the most famous wine in the world has built a fandom that typically has hundreds of customers lining up early at some participating stores. “At the top end, these are some of the most highly-allocated, desirable wines in the world,” says Philip, who in 2007 became the first Western Canadian to achieve the Master of Wine designation.

Fortunately, over the years, BC Liquor Stores has built strong relationships with Bordeaux’s “négociants” (wine merchants), ordering quality products directly from the source, rather than third parties, Philip says.

BARBARA PHILIP

“There’s a chance that they’ll increase in value after you buy them and I think Bordeaux has proven itself to be able to make great wines for hundreds of years, so people are really interested and curious about that.”

“We didn’t really have much to choose from, so we had to sort of call in our favours and use our relationships that we have with Bordeaux to get the top wines,” Philip says. “A lot of people didn’t even make wine in 2017. They lost their crops.”

Philip expects about 5,300 cases of the 2017 vintage comprised of 181 wines. Prices range from $30 to $3,200 per bottle and notables this year include the Clos Des Lunes - Lune D’Argent Bordeaux ($35), Clos La Madeleine St. Emilion ($125), Château Certan de May Pomerol ($250), Le Petit Mouton Pauillac ($400) and Château Margaux ($1,200). In addition to having a smaller selection this year, BC Liquor Stores is taking steps to protect customers from COVID-19.

In 2019, BC Liquor Stores was able to bring more than 10,000 cases of the The new pre-order request system has 2016 vintage to 32 stores, shipped from customers ﬁll out an online form where more than 200 châteaux. Th is year, This they can choose a limited number of some of the most sought-after wines, and then visit their selected store on or after release day to pick them up.

To select the wines for this year’s release, Philip visited Bordeaux in the spring of 2018 for the annual “en primeur” barrel tasting marathon. One thing she and the other merchants and critics noticed was how a late frost in April 2017 had aﬀected the quantity — but not the quality.

“Wines like the Château Pétrus, Château Trotanoy, Château La FleurPétrus, Château Laﬂeur — those ones will go very, very quickly,” she says.

Meantime, stores will have physicallydistanced lineups where customers can buy larger quantities of the remaining Bordeaux products. Store capacity will be limited, but they are opening early to process more transactions. Philip says she expects merlot-based wines from the Right Bank to be in high demand, given their short supply and high quality.

Free webinars help caregivers manage stress, isolation Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Caring for loved ones isn’t an easy job, especially during a pandemic. To help caregivers better handle

the emotional rollercoaster inherent in their work, Gaia Community Care and Wellness Society (GCCWS), a Richmond not-forproﬁt, will host two virtual seminars in September for Chinesespeaking caregivers. Many family caregivers have to minimize their social bubble to

ensure that the ones they care for don’t contract the virus. And when people spend most of their time at home, conﬂicts can arise among family members, said Lorraine Ng, the virtual event organizer and a program coordinator with GCCWS.

how the pandemic, in general, affects our mental health and the best ways to improve our resiliency so we are more able to handle difﬁculties and stress. The most important thing is learning how to maintain family harmony during this difﬁcult time,” said Ng.

Ng also noted that in Asian

cultures some people might feel hesitant to ask for help, but she encourages everyone to attend the GCCWS meetings and share their thoughts. Meetings will be held Sept. 21 and 28 at 10:30 a.m. To register, go to gccws.ca/upcoming_ events/ or call 778.223.7236.

ASK A PROFESSIONAL are some important changes Q: What coming up with ICBC? A:

year did Canada stop making Q: What silver coins for circulation.

Earlier this year, ICBC put some temporary and helpful changes in place when Covid-19 hit, as per regulatory approval. However, as of August 20, 2020, as approval is ending, ICBC are winding down some of these temporary changes as follows:

From 1966 and older, the dime, quarter, half dollar and dollar Canadian coins were made out of 80% silver.

In 1967 silver started to increase so the Canadian mint cut back on the silver in the quarters and dimes.

• ICBC are no longer waiving the $30.00 cancellation charge; • No longer allowing the insured to retain their license plates when cancelling the policy. Plates now need to be turned in when cancelling the insurance on a vehicle;

The half and dollar remained at 80% but the dime and quarter averaged only 65%. In 1968 silver was cut back again in the dime and quarter to 50%. The 1968 halve and dollar had no silver in them at all.

Jim Richardson

The easiest way to tell if your coins are silver or not is with a Western Coin & fridge magnet. If the magnet picks up the coin, it is NOT silver. Stamp They get picked up because they are nickel instead of silver.

Our five cent coins (nickels) are made of nickel. That is how they got their nickname. At this moment for one dollar of 80% coins, (dimes, quarters, halves or dollars) we are paying $20.00. Jim Richardson

Q: How long should full plate dentures last? A:

This is a multifactorial answer. Foremost it depends on how well you take care of them. Subsequently diet; the types of foods you eat significantly impact on the wear of your teeth. Course foods tend to wear out the chewing surfaces at a much quicker rate. White mint candies that have a sandy feeling coating are highly abrasive and destructive to artificial teeth. Your particular physiology can affect your fitting surfaces. For example, osteoporosis can affect the fitting surfaces by creating a faster rate of change to your underlying bone structures. Numerous other factors may also play into these scenarios. I create dentures to last at least seven to ten years using high quality products; dependent on the above conditions.

Student offers help for domestic abuse victims

A Richmond student is behind the launch Monday of a website aimed at helping victims of domestic abuse access a network of “safe spaces.” “In this time of crisis, we must support those ﬁghting the silent pandemic of domestic abuse happening behind closed doors.”

That’s the view of Vedanshi Vala, cofounder and executive director of “Safe Hubs,” at the BOLT Safety Society.

Vala — a UBC science student and McRoberts secondary alumnus — said her platform at Boltsafety.org/safehubs will help people ﬁnd locally available “support services for survivors, and access oth-

er content on the platform. This includes self-defense tips from community experts, and connecting with a network of ‘Safe Buddies’.

“Safe Hubs is about showing that we stand with survivors, and will work together to create safe spaces.”

Domestic violence reports have surged during the pandemic, with more people spending more time at home. The Safe Hubs project also collaborates with local businesses to create a network of safe locations. —Alan Campbell/Richmond News

ASK A PROFESSIONAL Q: Hi Rob, The City is doing a water-main

exactly how important is it to have Q: Just a Will? What if I don’t make one? is very important to have a Will, first of all, A: Itbecause it expresses the “will” or wishes of an

replacement on my street. Should I be concerned that this may affect the plumbing in my house. Stan

Hi Stan, It’s a valid concern.Any time you shut off and re-start large plumbing lines there can be issues. One thing that often happens is the moving of sediment. When a line is unpressurized and then repressurized, dirt and corrosion can be dislodged and redirected down the main. The end result of this can be a plugged up PRV, (Pressure Reducing Valve), in your home. The PRV is a very important component of your home’s plumbing system and it’s something that you want to take care of. If you notice discoloured or dirty water or you have a drop in water pressure, a plugged PRV is often the culprit. Give us a call. We can test your water pressure, make sure your lines are clear and clean your PRV so that it doesn’t do any damage. Rob

individual as to the disposition of his/her assets upon death. If you die without a valid Will, Statute Law of the Province of British Columbia governs the distribution of your estate, possibly in a manner you would not necessarily approve of.

Rob Zadra

Secondly, without a Will, if necessary, the Court has the right to make the final decision as to who is appointed Administrator of your estate, and if required, who will be appointed as Guardian of any of your minor children. If necessary, the Public Trustee’s Office may be appointed to both positions. Not having a Will would be a more time consuming and costly process, and ultimately would create additional stressful on family and loved ones.

Q: Do Chiropractors See Patients that Have No Symptoms? A:

What science tells us in the Hause study on “pain and the nerve root” is that compressed nerve roots can exist without causing pain and described a mechanism of gradual progression where mechanical changes to the nerve that leads to microcirculatory changes, and where inflammatory agents may result in chemical radiculitis. The Hause research study showed that interference to spinal nerves, including those nerves that innervate your body’s organs and glands, can exist without creating any pain whatsoever. The moral of this story: Every human being should have their spine checked regularly by their chiropractor to remove interference. Call our office now for complimentary consultation.

my flu shot last year, do I need Q: Iithad again?

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

Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. There are several different strains of this virus. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can potentially lead of work interruption, hospitalization, and sometimes even death. You will need to get the flu shot every year as new strains are developed, rendering the previous year’s vaccine ineffective. Even though you are a healthy individual and may not get sick from the flu virus, by getting the flu shot, you can protect others around you who may be immunocompromised or at severe risk of flu complications. It is important to receive the flu vaccine early as it takes the body about 14 days to develop antibodies against the influenza viruses. There are different types of flu vaccines that are designed to provide protection for different population groups. Among adults, complications due to influenza are generally most common among those 65 years old and over. Aside from the flu shot, exercising hand and respiratory hygiene, getting plenty of sleep, staying active, and eating a healthy balanced diet are other ways to prevent the flu. Ask our pharmacist about the high-dose flu vaccine specially formulated for seniors 65 years and older.

Artists create haunting Halloween video Nono Shen

NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The eerie music of Marilyn Manson’s This is Halloween, featured in Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, could be heard emanating from a small studio next to Richmond Public Market earlier this week. In fact, a passerby may have even caught a glimpse of Jack Skellington, the main character from Burton’s dark fantasy ﬁlm, wandering about. Halloween may be a couple of months off, but a group of young artists are determined to give local kids a creepy thrill — particularly considering haunted houses and trick or treating may be no-goes this year because of the pandemic. More than 20 local artists are putting together a music video This is Halloween that will be released via YouTube on Oct. 1. Viewers are going to see a house where the portraits come alive and decide to

throw a Halloween music party after ﬁnding out no “real” humans are around, said project director and Richmondite Nico Dicecco. The idea came from Harry Potter movies where wizarding photographs and portraits could sing and move, she added. To keep each performer safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19, only one to two actors are allowed in the studio every day. However, after shooting everyone’s contribution individually, all the vocals will be mixed to create the sound of a choir and, visually, it will look like all the performers are in one place at one time. The performers really cherish the opportunity to engage through the arts after being stuck at home for months, said Dicecco. “These artists are used to working on live performances, but they can’t do it now. We miss the work, we miss the creativity. This video project gives them a chance to do something they love and are good at. “We also want to create something exciting for our community to see and enjoy,” added Dicecco.

The eight-year-old Ferris elementary student (soon to be nine) is obviously looking forward to seeing more of his friends this time, as opposed to the spring semester when school was almost 100 per cent online due to COVID-19. But it was the way Ryder ﬁnished Grade 3 in spectacular fashion that caught the imagination of his parents, teacher and even, just last week, the Vancouver Canucks.

Terry Point, a Musqueam cultural adviser and Aboriginal support worker who helped “bridge cultures and communities” in Richmond, has passed away. Point worked for the Richmond School District but he also contributed his knowledge of local Indigenous culture to the City of Richmond’s cultural events. Just recently, he received a City of Richmond Arts Award for cultural leadership.

“I mentioned painting his favourite players jerseys on the garage wall. He ran with that, picked the players, then picked out designs and he started painting with Mom and Dad’s guidance.”

“He played an important and lasting role in our community to keep the Musqueam culture and heritage alive and available to all Richmond residents of all ages,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a letter to his widow, Ena Point.

When his artwork was complete, Ryder wrote why he liked each player and his parents sent everything to his teacher.

He also led Indigenous historical and plant walking tours. Point also contributed to Indigenousfocused programming at the City Centre Community Centre, the Children’s Arts Festival, the Richmond Arts Strategy Task Group as well as at the library. “Mr. Point created numerous opportunities for Musqueam knowledge keepers and artists to share their history, experiences and stories through collaborations and programs throughout Richmond,” Brodie’s letter explained, adding “The legacy of his contributions will be remembered and shared.” Point died suddenly on Aug. 13 and a celebration of life was held a few days later.

Reuniting Canucks with their U.S. boats Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond-based company has been helping Canadians reunite with their boats that were left stranded in the U.S. since the border closed in March. Philip Cragg, owner of Pacific Coast Yacht Sales, started receiving a “wildfire” of phone calls from B.C. residents the day after the federal government announced the border closure. After the first phone call, people kept referring others to him, Cragg said. “The calls went through like a wildfire in the marinas at Point Roberts, Semiahmoo and Birchway to just to name a few — the phone just kept ringing,” said Cragg. He added that he is able to travel across the border easily because he is a dual-citizen of Canada and the U.S. as well as having a business that is considered an essential service in the marine industry. So far, he’s moved more than 160

boats with up to four boats transported in a single day.

Most boats, said Cragg, are brought back into Canada by water, but some have been towed back using his truck.

Cragg told the Richmond News that while he’s been in the industry for more than two decades, the biggest issue is navigating through the Canada-U.S. customs. “There is often a lot of alcohol on the boats and (owners) can’t recall exactly how much they have on their boats,” said Cragg, adding that because some boats were big, he would have to try and ﬁnd them all to declare it. Even though there were some challenges, Cragg had no other problems bringing the boats through the border. While the business has been good for him during COVID-19, the best part of the job is helping others, he said. “It’s been hard for them to ﬁnd somebody to help them … and people have been more than grateful when they get their boats back.”

One of Steveston’s popular pho restaurants has closed its doors. Xyclo Bistro, a Vietnamese restaurant at Bayview Quay — on the corner of Second Avenue and Bayview Street — made the announcement earlier this week. Only last summer the restaurant had moved from Moncton Street to accommodate a growing customer base.

The Richmond News has reached out to the restaurant owners to ask why they closed. Villagers took to Facebook to express their sentiments, with Andrea Japandrea commenting, “So sad to hear this. One of my favourite restaurants in Steveston. While Sue Thornley said, “We are so sad to see you go. Thank you for all the great food you fed us.” And Hilarie McMurray asked owner Cindy Nguyen if she was considering re-opening in a smaller space as her “food and service are so great.”

Chuckers hit home run with new coaches

Brynn Waisman signs for St Norbert College in Wisconsin. Photo submitted

Sometimes life throws you a curveball. Sometimes you swing and miss. But, if you are the Richmond Chuckers, you knock it out of the park.

COVID-19 threw the world a nasty curveball, shutting down sports across Canada. After months of processing registrations, winter training sessions, team selections, and spring practices, the Richmond City Baseball Association’s (RCBA) season came to a screeching halt in mid-March.

The Richmond Chuckers’ new 15U AAA coaching team (from left) Darren Strang, Tom Robson, Logan Wedgewood and Jack Thompson. Photo submitted

RCBA made the decision in early April to refund all members in full for registrations fees paid. Finally, after months of waiting and planning and more waiting, RCBA, like other sports organizations, were given the green light to return to play in late June. During the summer, RCBA has also added to its roster former Major League Baseball draft picks Tom Robson (pitching coach) and Tyson Gillies (hitting coach). Former university players Darren Roberts and Brayden Carpenter also worked with the young Chuckers. Meanwhile, the organization is already planning for next season and has built what it calls a “dream team” of coaches for the Chuckers 15U AAA team.

Logan Wedgewood will be the new head coach, bringing with him experience from Douglas College and Okanagan College, where he was an all-star. Former Chuckers coach Jack Thompson will be the hitting coach, while former Toronto Blue Jays draft pick Rom Robson will be the new pitching coach. Completing the new look will be Darren Strang, as assistant coach, following on from his role as head coach. —Alan Campbell/Richmond News

Lore finished the season as one of the top D, despite being an underage player. —Alan Campbell/Richmond News

KOKOSKA, Terri (nee Teresa French)

FEDORUK, Elizabeth (Betty) Graham (nee Farrell) May 6, 1924 – August 24, 2020 It is with a heavy heart my sisters and I announce the passing of our Mum, Betty Fedoruk. Our Mum was welcomed into the world by her parents Henry and Susan (Blair) Farrell along with her sisters Kathleen and Lauretta on May 6, 1924. She was raised in the small farming community of Kincardine, Ontario. She is survived by her daughters Judy Smith, Sue Cambrey (Dennis), Stephanie Fedoruk and daughter-in-law Jo-Ann Fedoruk. 8 grandchildren, Scott Kolbeins (Nancy), Sandy Kolbeins (Angela), Glenn Fedoruk, Dean Fedoruk (Tasha), Aaron Cambrey, Farrell Cambrey, Katrina MacDonald and Jacob MacDonald and 8 great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by her husband Stephen Fedoruk, son, William (Bill) Fedoruk, great-granddaughter Alexandra Kolbeins, sisters Kay Hutchings and Lauretta Elms and sister-in-law Lee Heddy. A truly modern woman, Mum left Ontario on her own in 1949 and travelled west to B.C., not knowing anyone. A trained nurse Mum acquired a job at Essondale Hospital in New Westminster. Mum met our Dad, Steve Fedoruk, on an outing with friends at the Branch 5 Legion, in Richmond. They courted a few years and they were married on December 18, 1958. Upon her marriage, Mum left Essondale to become a full-time wife, homemaker and a step-mum to Judy and Bill. In 1960, daughter Sue was born. In 1962 they decided to build a home on Ackroyd Road and moved in shortly after the birth of their second daughter Stephanie in 1963. Our parents lived on Ackroyd Road until 1988, moving to Eperson Road, then to their final home together on Ferry Road in Ladner. Dad passed away June 1996. In 1998 Mum sold the house and purchased her condo. From here, her travelling began, mostly cruising with our Dad’s sister Lee and cousin Anne Beaver. In 1998 Mum sold her condo and moved to Augustine House and enjoyed all the services they could provide for her there. In her 90th year, still living independently we decided to move her to Campbell River where she resided at Berwick by the Sea to watch the cruise ships from her ocean view suite. In January 2019, still doing her best to be her independent self, but realizing she need just a little more help she moved to Evergreen Seniors Home. There she thoroughly enjoyed all they had to offer and her new found friendships with all the Evergreen staff. Our Mum passed peacefully on August 24th. Our Mum, as she had done all her life, charted her own course. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the staff at Evergreen Seniors Home for their respect and compassionate care, they went above and beyond and we are forever grateful. There will be a celebration of life in the spring, May 2021. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the SPCA or to a charity of your choice.

Al’s hard work, great attitude, devotion and commitment brought Al great success not only at work but also in the community. Al was our family patriarch, protector and provider. Grandchildren were always number one with Al. Keeping the pool clean, painting their rooms or teaching them black-jack and never saying no to them was the way Al was. Al loved to host gatherings among them with his famous BBQ salmon and ribs. Al was a gracious bartender and wine connoisseur. He loved all sports, golf (3 holes in one), hockey, football, coaching both sons (brought home an undefeated championship in football). Enjoyed fishing, racket ball and played cosom hockey. Al was competitive but always a true sportsman. Travelled with Rose, family and friends to all corners of the world. Al’s humour will always be remembered by all that were lucky to know him. Al was one of the founding members of the Phoenix Food and Drug group. He was also Director of “Operation Rainbow” which included organizing brunches, auctions, and fundraisers for the betterment of many. Al leaves a legacy of acts of kindness, friendship and happy memories for many.

The family thanks the extraordinary nurses and staff at Parkview for supporting the family. They made his stay and final days with care and compassion. We are forever grateful to all. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Parkinson’s Society of B.C. 890 W. Pender St, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 1J9. Operation Rainbow or Phoenix Group would be appreciated.

It is with great sadness that the family of Terri Kokoska announces her sudden passing on Sunday, August 23, 2020 at the age of 65 years. Terri is survived by her husband Stan, daughter Jamie, son Brodie and her beloved dachshund Baxter. In her earlier years, Terri loved traveling and spending time at the family’s Point Roberts cabin, going on long beach walks, followed by a glass of wine on the deck. She also enjoyed the annual summer camping trips to the Shuswap with family and good friends. More recently, she was happy staying close to home, enjoying her gardens and reading a good book. Her passing is deeply saddening, but we can take comfort in knowing that she is reunited with her loving sister, Kathy, and father Walter.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, there will be no service. A small gathering of family and close friends, will be held to celebrate Terri’s life. Richmond Funeral Home Cremation & Reception Centre (604) 273-3748 www.RichmondFuneral.ca
