Eve Edmonds RICHMOND NEWS

Quick, name a Richmond school trustee.

If you were able to do that, congratulations. If you weren’t, you’re not alone.

When it comes to elected positions in Canada (unlike the U.S., where they elect everyone from sewer worker to dog catcher) school trustees have perhaps the lowest of profiles.

8

5

Few people, even parents with kids in public school, could tell you who our trustees are — or even what they do. That, in part, is because what they do is, well, rather nebulous.

There was a time when school trustees had a say in taxation, union negotiations and educational policy. But that’s all handled by the provincial government now. In fact, their powers have been so diminished, Richmond Citizens’ Association (RCA) and RITE Richmond are not even bothering to field trustee candidates in the upcoming civic election. (See story on page 14) RITE’s Coun. Carol Day, a former school trustee herself, said the board’s powers are largely limited.

31

33

If those slates want to focus their energies on city council, fair enough, but it does bring up the question of school trustees and why we even have them.

Some say the job should be done by MLAs, others suggest a system similar to what we have with our regional health authorities, which are run by bureaucrats and overseen by politically appointed boards of directors.

I say handing over local control, however limited, is never a good idea. MLAs have enough on their plates and would be forced to toe party lines. And the health authority model affords local communities almost no say.

In fact, I’d argue that it is because so many education decisions have already been centralized that locally elected school boards are even more important as a means of providing checks and balances and ensuring large school bureaucracies are still responsive to local needs.

16 32

It matters that we have public meetings where we can be heard. I realize that major policies, such as the one regarding sexual orientation and gender identity, was mandated by the province; our local board had to come up with something.

But doing so was a grassroots process. Granted, some have complained that “parents weren’t heard.” However, I would counter that many of us were heard, and being heard and being heeded is not the same. But regardless of what you think of the final decision, the board came to it after a huge amount of community outreach. That, in itself, is valuable.

And then there are the times, albeit rare, when provincial policies actually changes on account of opposition at the school board level. Case in point, the provincial government’s about-face in 2016 regarding seismic upgrades. An upcoming provincial election may have had something to do with it, but it still happened and probably wouldn’t have, had parents not had a venue where they could voice their outrage.

Point being, school boards matter.

Even if some trustees view it as a stepping stone to other levels of government, it’s never smart to take opportunities for democratic representation for granted.

What does living at one of our communities mean... mean.

Can you name a school trustee? What does the school board do?

Sophie Shu

Rod Jensen TEACHER

Can I name a school trustee?

I can’t! The school board is a multi-purpose [entity] that offers leadership to the teaching and non-teaching professionals in the district. It offers development to make sure we’re following the curriculum.

Oh my goodness! ...I don’t think so. When I was in high school, a friend’s mom was a trustee, Grace Tsang. It covers policies and things like that; things that schools don’t determine on their own and it has to be taken to a district level and then maybe the district and Ministry [of Education] make policies.

I don’t have any idea! It’s a government thing. They are the ones in charge of public schools and the students. It [handles] how they teach kids in school and how they manage services for the community.

Donna Sargent! ...I used to be the co chairman of the StevestonLondon parent advisory, the PAC. In my experience, they try to come up with policies and help schools.

I was involved with integrating Steveston High School and London. It was the board that was in the middle [of the concerns].

I don’t follow local politics at all!

No. I understand exactly how the governance of a school board works. The purpose is to set policy, hire senior staff. Basically they determine policy, funding, what school gets what funding. They are the policy makers and staff deliver the decisions of the board.

Hoping for better Ferry idea could be a Centre and the surrounding 2,000 dwellings.

Dear Editor, There are friends of mine in Richmond who do not know about the redevelopment of Richmond Centre South. Some have heard about the project but do not know the details.

I would like to briefly summarize the project and the comments I provided to our city, so Richmond residents can be aware of what will happen and the issues we have to face.

Basically, the Sears building and its multilevel parkade will be demolished, and most of the parking area in Richmond Centre will be replaced by 12 high-rise buildings with a total of 2,000 dwellings. There will be a twolevel underground parking. The project will start in spring 2019 and is estimated to be completed in late 2026.

Here are some of the comments I have expressed to the City of Richmond: The biggest issue it will have is the underground parking. Richmond is made of silt and sand, and is never allowed to have basements and underground parking.

Even with technology change, it doesn’t mean underground parking is safe in Richmond now.

During heavy rain, there is a high chance of flooding in the underground parkade. Also in the long term, the underground parking will likely subside, which will be very dangerous to this whole area, including both Richmond

Super Grocer & Pharmacy

I still remember the allowance of using California stucco by our government causing many leaky condos, one of the worst building crises. I hope this government won’t make a similar mistake.

Also 2,000 dwellings in 12 buildings is too crowded in Richmond Centre South.

It will cause other problems such as heavy traffic, public safety concerns, inadequate public transit and a shortage of medical services such as clinics, family doctors and hospital staff.

More funding may be provided by Vancouver Coastal Health, but it can only improve facilities, not the number of family doctors or hospital staff.

Like many residents in Richmond, I would love to see more small family-owned business stores on the streets rather than just high rises and luxury or franchise stores.

We are all in doubt if many of the existing new condos are occupied or if many were purchased by investors only.

We hope the new houses are affordable and can benefit the locals, as we are the ones residing in Richmond.

Re: “Give city’s ferry a go,” News, July 12.

The idea of providing a ferry service from Starlight Casino in New Westminster along the North Arm of the Fraser River to River Rock Casino, Iona Beach and Richmond Olympic Oval sounds quite exciting.

If and when this service gets underway, it should add another dimension to tourism in this community. The proposed ferry service should provide its passengers an excellent opportunity to enjoy the river cruise and some of the beautiful sights along both sides of the Fraser River.

Roberto Farinha and Richmond Harbour Ferry must be commended for this vision.

Let me veto that veto on art

Dear Richmond artists and art enthusiasts everywhere, You may rest assured that you are in very good hands with the council’s decision to give themselves the power to approve or refuse any piece of artwork on public or private property.

Watchdogs against artwork-running-amok is a necessary component to safeguard the interests and sensibilities of Richmond citizens.

Civility and decorum must be maintained to protect our public interest.

No doubt when the majority of our council voted to allow mansions to be built on farmland they had the public interest at heart.

And just to make sure that their message wouldn’t be misconstrued by any left-leaningfringe-like-save-the-farmland opposition, they threw in an extra house for good measure.

It seems like someone in council has been playing too much Monopoly. And these are the same people we can now trust with art.

Clearly, it is only logical and prudent to add another layer of protection to safeguard our public interest. Why not have a watchdog watch the watchdogs?

After careful consideration, rumination, and deliberation in regards to veto rights to future artwork, I have consulted myself and voted to give myself the power to approve or refuse any decision this council takes in regards to artwork.

And to cut much of the bureaucratic red tape and future paranoia and uncertainty, I hereby declare all future vetoes that this council gives in regards to artwork vetoed by me. This is my one and only declaration. I now absolve myself from my position.

To members of council who were in favour of allowing mansions on farmland and giving themselves veto rights on artwork, I was wondering if you would consider building a wall around yourself so that you could make Richmond great again and keep out the plebians hankering for the public’s best interest.

No doubt, there is likely to be graffiti on these walls with a few choice words about your recent decisions, but do not be dismayed. You can always veto this on the grounds that it is in poor taste and not in the public’s best interest.

Max Choinski RICHMOND

Conflict of interest apparent, if not real Dear Editor, Residents of Richmond are deeply concerned with certain members of city council for voting to allow mega mansions on ALR land.

Particularly distressful were recent comments by Mayor Brodie regarding an RCA call for transparency, which disclosed, (unknown to many Richmond News readers) the fact that some property developers are actually on council.

This is a shocking revelation.

As a lawyer, Mayor Brodie knows he must not only avoid conflict of interest but equally, even the appearance of conflict.

The same regulation (not guideline) is true for accountants, notaries, bankers, doctors and other professions.

In respect to the RCA position therefore, it seems reasonable to expect the same standard for councillors.

Further to Mayor Brodie’s comment, developers on council excusing themselves from chambers during a particular vote does not stop them from knowing everything that is going on with that development and influencing decisions.

City council candidate Peter Liu (middle), seen in a photo posted with two realtors, is unlikely to get reader Jon Westerly’s vote in October. File photo money developers have given certain members of council over the years, from my viewpoint, there is the clear appearance of a connection between council and its vote on mega mansions.

This time, I will only be voting for council members with no apparent of conflict of interest.

Police swoop on Fire shuts down ‘gang activity’ Ironwood library Richmond RCMP said it couldn’t comment, as it was only assisting the VPD with its operation.

Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

A multi-jurisdiction police operation linked to gang activity appeared to end with the arrest of a woman in Richmond.

Witnesses reported on Thursday seeing police officers swooping on multiple locations including two in Downtown Vancouver and a home in Richmond’s Hamilton neighbourhood.

In Richmond, Vancouver Police Department (VPD) officers, with a mobile command unit and assisted by Richmond RCMP members, were seen going in and out of a home in the 23200-block of Gilley Road in Hamilton.

A woman was then seen being taken from the home in handcuffs.

Meanwhile, at Georgia and Jervis streets in Vancouver, witnesses reported on social media that a building was cordoned off with police tape.

A handgun was apparently visible on the ground, however, police said no shots were fired.

Nearby, police were also called to a building at 1200 West Georgia, where there were reports that police cleared two upper floors over fears about explosives.

“The police activity…relates to an ongoing investigation into Lower Mainland gang crime. We are unable to provide additional information at this time,” Vancouver Police Department’s Sgt. Jason Robillard told the Richmond News via email.

Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond’s Ironwood library branch is closed until further notice after a small fire broke out early Saturday morning.

The fire began in a supply room before any staff or guests were in the library. Fire crews responded quickly, limiting damage to the supply room.

“We’re very appreciative and grateful,” Stephanie Vokey, coordinator of marketing and public relations for the Richmond Public Library, told the Richmond News. “(The fire crew’s) quick response was great for really minimizing that damage.”

The cause of the fire is still under investigation and the branch remains closed

Leave egg-laying turtles alone: Reptile Rescue Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

If you see little turtles digging holes in Minoru Park this month, give them some space and don’t interfere.

That’s the message from Richmond-based charity Reptile Rescue, after a woman stepped in Monday morning to keep a crowd of people away from a momma turtle laying her eggs in Minoru Park.

Val Lofvendahl, founder of Reptile

Rescue, said June and July is the time of year you’re going to see the reptiles laying their eggs in their self-dug holes.

enough.

And she added that the foot-long turtle helped by 78-year-old Diann McGrath was most likely a redeared slider which are quite common, due to people dumping them as pets when they get too big.

McGrath said she was out in the park for her daily walk about 7 a.m. when she noticed a small crowd of people around something near Richmond Hospital.

“They can survive here, though, and the Wildlife Act of B.C. now protects them, the same way it does for the dumped domestic rabbits,” said Lofvendahl.

“I’m not sure if the eggs will ac-

“But it wouldn’t do any harm to let her lay them in peace and leave the turtle alone.”

“They were taking pictures, so I went over to look and here was this turtle,” said McGrath.

“I could see it was probably preparing to lay some eggs, as it was digging a hole behind it. One man wanted to put it back into the pond,

but I said ‘no, just leave her, she’s laying her eggs.’

“I tried to find a parks employee but couldn’t. So I went to city hall, as I was worried someone was going to tamper with the eggs.”

McGrath said the female turtle has the eggs buried now, but wanted to get the word out what to do and not to do in a similar situation.

“The man at city hall was very helpful and helped me contact RAPS and the Richmond Nature Park for advice.”

City’s most-wanted Fifth memorial ride for Christy Mahy takes to thief behind bars Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

A suspect formerly at the top of Richmond RCMP’s most-wanted list has been jailed for more than a year and a half.

Prolific offender Mitchell William Coubrough was sentenced to a total of 19 and a half months at Richmond Provincial Court last week for a series of break and enters and various property crime offences in Richmond, Surrey and White Rock.

Coubrough was arrested in Surrey in April after a year-long wait.

Prior to his arrest, Coubrough had eight outstanding warrants (six from Richmond, one from White Rock and one from Surrey).

In court last week, he was facing a total of 28 criminal charges and three Motor Vehicle Act charges, including: Two counts of unauthorized use of credit card data; Seven counts of possession of stolen property; Two counts of possession of break-in tools;

Three counts of driving while prohibited;

Two counts of possession of forged credit cards; One count of use of an identity document without lawful excuse; One count of identity theft; Two counts possession of a controlled substance; One count of fraud; Six counts of break and enter; Three counts of mischief under $5,000 and one count of theft under $5,000.

“The sheer number of charges that were approved strongly illustrates just how active this individual was in our community and surrounding areas,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang in April.

“Under Richmond RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit umbrella, officers from our Property Crime Unit (PCU), Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST), and patrol units, put in the work and painstakingly sifted through evidence from multiple files to build a strong case.

“Figuratively speaking, he was our white whale.”

the road Saturday Alan Campbell RICHMOND NEWS

This Saturday, July 28 will be another painful day for Ron Mahy.

Mahy, along with a number of friends, family and fellow motorbike enthusiasts, will lead the fifth memorial ride from Richmond to Langley to remember his daughter, Christy, who died on July 30, 2014, after being struck by a car while waiting to cross Russ Baker Way. Christy, 36 at the time, was on her way home to Burkeville and had stopped her bicycle on Russ Baker Way at the Dinsmore Bridge.

As she was waiting for the lights to change, a Pontiac Aztek SUV, with a novice sticker, slammed into her.

“We’re anticipating quite a few Harleys; last year there were 70,” said Mahy, his emotions still raw at the lack of closure for his daughter.

“We will keep on going until there is...justice for Christy and for us.”

Mahy said anyone who knew Christy is welcome to come along Saturday.

The ride leaves the Flying Beaver pub at 4760 Inglis Dr. at 1:30 p.m.

Crow trapped Sexual harassment at YVR for more protest goes on at YVR “It’s so wonderful because now I have (public support)…because I’ve been doing this lone wolf-style the entire time.

Alyse Kotyk RICHMOND NEWS

“I’m getting that army base kind of happening.”

A former WestJet flight attendant returned to Vancouver International Airport on Friday, after previously being asked to leave during her campaign to raise awareness about sexual harassment in the airline industry.

Earlier this month, Mandalena Lewis visited YVR to distribute pamphlets about her campaign #youcrewmetoo, which describes itself as “an online support community for flight crew experiencing sexual harassment at work.”

But after around two hours, Lewis was asked to leave the airport. She responded by writing a letter to YVR, asking for a way to “exercise (her) expression in this issue at the airport.”

Lewis was in contact with YVR leading up to her next planned visit on July 20.

This time, she said nobody from the airport interfered with her demonstration.

“It went really well. We had a lot of

Since she began her campaign, Lewis said two women have come forward to share their experiences of sexual harassment and she now hopes she can help women find legal support.

Former WestJet flight attendant Mandalena Lewis has been protesting at YVR. Photo submitted different people stopping by. We had guests, passengers, we had YVR employees stop, we had a couple of crews stop,” Lewis told the Richmond News.

“We had people say they didn’t even know it was an issue in the airline industry...they were troubled by it.”

Lewis said she stayed at the airport for two hours before she ran out of informational business cards to hand out.

“I’m going to keep going,” she said.

“It’s hard to get legal representation,” Lewis said. “...I recognize that women are petrified and rightfully so...because they face huge backlash.”

Lewis, who is involved in a proposed class action lawsuit against former employer WestJet said she told the company she was sexually assaulted by a pilot in 2010 and said the company subsequently failed to protect their female flight attendants.

WestJet appealed to strike the claim, but was denied late last year. The next appeal is set for January 2019. A WestJet spokesperson said, via email, that the company couldn’t comment as the matter was before the courts.

It’s the Vancouver version of The Terminal, but Tom Hank’s role is played by a crow.

The bird accidentally entered YVR and has been trapped inside for more than a month, according to Nicole Rockmann, a flight attendant.

“My friend was travelling to London, England and saw the crow in the international terminal on June 15. And It’s still there,” Rockmann told the Richmond News.

“Many people are aware of it. People see it every day. It’s there, flying around in the airport, it squawks and seems to be in distress. I’m concerned about the bird. I hope someone can be sent in and safely remove it.”

Rockmann said the crow is looking for ways out but it can’t, since all windows are closed.

She thinks the bird has been feeding on fountain water and passengers’ food.

Terry Chou, a spokesperson for YVR, said their team is aware of a crow in the terminal and YVR’s wildlife team is continuing to monitor the situation.

A

nother landmark business and building in Steveston will be lost in the next few weeks.

Steveston Marine & Hardware’s Moncton Street location will close its doors at the end of the summer.

STORY BY

Alan Campbell

RICHMOND NEWS

The 77-year-old store is one of the village’s iconic, historic buildings, with its elaborate artwork on its outside wall.

Steveston Marine — which has three other outlets in Richmond, Vancouver and Langley — has been struggling in the village for many years, due, in part, to the decline of the fishing industry.

Rezoning and heritage alteration permit applications are posted on the aforementioned wall, indicating the intention to demolish the building and develop commercial space at ground level and five condos above.

ANOTHER ONE

Iqbal Ladha, co-owner of the business, sold the building two years ago to a developer and knew this day was coming.

GONE

“I could see the writing on the wall for a while,” said a saddened Ladha, who took over the Steveston staple in 1984, before expanding to the other locations a few years later.

“The village used to be a commercial hub for the fishing industry. Now most of it has gone; there are few, if any, (sockeye salmon) openings for the fishermen these days.

“It’s essentially a tourist town now. Customers are now coming in to buy a few things as a memory; one of them said he used to come in here as a six-year-old with his grandfather.

Steveston Marine & Hardware co-owner Iqbal Ladha surveys his Steveston Village store, which will soon close after 77 years serving local residents. Alan Campbell photo

“There are just too many big stores opening up, as well. It’s tough to compete.”

Ladha, who has lived in Steveston since he bought the business in 1984, said whatever stock he can’t sell by the end of August will be moved to the company’s other Richmond store, near Bridgeport Road, next to the Fraser River’s middle arm.

He recalled how it was originally a general store, called Steveston Hardware, owned by two brothers, who Ladha thinks were “either Austrian or German, I’m not sure.”

“In 1974, it was bought by Weston Marine, who inserted

“Marine” into the store name and it became a fishing supply store also,” added Ladha, who immigrated to Vancouver from Tanzania in 1974.

“In 1984, the company went into receivership and we took it over. Then we opened the Vancouver store in 1986 at Coal Harbour; we’ve moved around Vancouver a little bit, we’re now at West 5th. We opened Langley in 1988.”

However, Ladha hasn’t totally closed his mind to the possibility of the business returning to its roots in the future.

Families new to Richmond? Moving within Richmond?

Register NOW for School!

“(The City of Richmond) was supposed to open up a marina here, but it didn’t happen,” lamented Ladha.

“The (Steveston) harbour authority contacted me last week, talking about federal funding for a commercial marine complex, but I can’t wait around for that.

“And Onni contacted me again last night, talking about going into one of their units at Imperial Landing. But it’s too late.

“That’s not to say we can’t come back down the line, though. Who knows?”

A group of Richmond students emerged as National Champions at the 13th Canadian National & 5th British Columbia Provincial Mental Math Competition last month.

The students heralded from UCMAS Richmond a globally recognized and scientifically proven development program based on mental math and abacus for children aged 4-13 years.

Among those who were recognized for their achievements was Lexi Ong, a student at William Bridge Elementary School Richmond, who was crowned the Canadian National Champion in all three categories she participated in – Visual, Listening & Flash.

Five other students from Richmond - Carson Lam, Dywonne Calamiong, Keenan Guevarra, Lorenzo Lachica and Shane Liam So - were also crowned National Champions in the Visual Competition.

In total more than 5700 students from across Canada participated in the annual competition which provides UCMAS students with an opportunity to compete in their respective categories and be recognized for their excellence.

At the competition, which tests speed and accuracy in arithmetic, the students get eight

minutes to solve as many as 150-200 math questions. The math questions include numeric calculations of multiple rows and columns that require students to calculate at a rate faster than using a calculator.

It’s a great example of the skills that students can learn at UCMAS (Universal Concept of Mental Arithmetic System), an abacus based system that is proven to help improve cognitive skills such as focus, concentration, memory retention, listening, multitasking as well as confidence.

“We are so proud of all of our students who took part in June’s competition,” says Krishna Kumar, Director of UCMAS Richmond. “Their success is a testament to the hard work and dedication they’ve put into studies that has furnished them with the skills that are crucial to success in all areas of study and in daily life.”

UCMAS is proven to enhance not just the mental math calculating skills of children but also their concentration, focus, memory, retention capacity, listening skills, speed and accuracy. To find out more visit www.ucmas.ca, call 604-248-7575 or email orient@ucmas.ca

Slates leave board open Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

Two major Richmond political slates, both of which collectively profess socially liberal philosophies, have chosen not to run school trustee candidates.

To what extent the city’s Board of Education is prime for a takeover from socially conservative individuals is a matter of debate, but not outside the realm of possibilities, according to a number of prospective politicians.

But the extent of power any majority would have on the board is also debatable.

To date, both Richmond Citizens’ Association (RCA), a “civic expression” of the NDP, and RITE Richmond, a multi-partisan coalition, have chosen to put forth four city council candidates each, thus leaving a vacuum of candidates running on a socially progressive ticket.

Meanwhile, independent trustee Sandra Nixon, who “can’t go much further left,” and is widely given credit for spearheading the district’s new sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) policy, is unsure if she will run again.

It is that very issue that has galvanized at least two Richmond residents to announce their intention to run for trustee, in opposition of

the SOGI policy. The issue has also garnered attention from anti-SOGI conservative and religious groups, such as Canadian Christian Lobby, which intends to canvas B.C. trustees and campaign against those who voted for SOGI. Of those who the News spoke to about a potential power vacuum on the board, all agreed to a varying extent that a majority can sway certain policies inside a school district, however their powers are mostly limited by Ministry of Education guidelines and provincial law.

“If there’s a majority, there is potential for there to be direction. But the ministry has a lot of authority in how the board operates, so there are a lot limitations,” said Nixon.

“The influence of the board is in policy and setting strategic objectives,” she said.

By law, a school district must balance its budget and adhere to basic provincial guidelines. Beyond that, a board may direct a district on certain programming, say a music program being chosen over one for financial literacy.

RCA council candidate Jack Trovato, a teacher, ran

unsuccessfully for trustee in 2014 but said he chose to run for council this year because the issues at city hall are of greater importance.

Coun. Carol Day echoed Trovato, stating RITE wanted to focus on municipal issues.

Trovato added RCA did try to find a candidate but there were no interested parties.

Day, a former trustee, said the board is largely limited

in its power. While Trovato agreed, he said the board may still direct certain policies.

To that extent, citing delays in implementing a district SOGI policy, Trovato said the “Richmond Board of Education, historically, to my understanding, has been very hesitant to embrace change and been very conservative.”

Trustee Eric Yung, of Richmond First, whose centreright slate once held a majority, also said trustees do wield power and influence, “otherwise I don’t think I’d run.

Jaeden Dela Torre will not let his age deter his activisim come the fall election. Photo submitted.

“Where those supports end up exactly is where the board lands on its own priorities,” said Yung.

As it pertains to any suggestion of amending SOGI policy, Yung said any majority, however it may take form, cannot expunge SOGI from the public education system in Richmond, as SOGI requirements are provincial law.

“This was a document on how we intend to implement something that was provincially mandated,” said Yung.

“Sure, we can’t recraft provincial policy; we can only influence. But we do have fi-

nal say within the school district boundaries; it just may not be as flashy,” added Yung.

Student launches youth campaign

Prior to the 2014 election, Renew Richmond (elected trustee Alice Wong) and Richmond First (elected trustees Yung, Debbie Tablotney and Donna Sargent) were non-committal to a proactive, district-level SOGI policy (prior to the provincial government finally mandating it).

The Richmond Community Coalition’s trustee Jonathan Ho opposed it, while independent trustee Ken Hamaguchi had stated support for it. RITE candidates Michael Starchuk, Rod Belleza and Norm Goldstein also expressed support.

Belleza is now running with the Coalition while Goldstein is running with Richmond First.

Ho is leaving the Coalition’s trustee bid for a shot at city council.

Ivan Pak and James Li are residents intending to run for the board after expressing disappointment with the SOGI implementation.

Graeme Wood RICHMOND NEWS

Although one of Richmond’s budding, prospective politicians will miss out on an election bid for the Board of Education this year, he nevertheless plans to raise awareness for youth issues in the city.

Steveston-London graduate Jaeden Dela Torre — who, at 17, will not be old enough to run for public office come the Oct. 20 election — says he will be running a “unique campaign” for a youth representative on the board as others compete for seats at 7811 Granville Avenue.

Come fall, Dela Torre will be studying political science at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. He turns 18 in November, mere weeks after the election.

Dela Torre said he feels student voices are not being given adequate consideration, hence the idea for a youth representative, who will sit alongside elected trustees. He said the concept requires refining.

“They say they want to actively engage with kids and when the kid gives a good idea they say, ‘oh that’s too much.’ How are you supposed to get kids engaged if they get shut down all the time?” he asked.

Dela Torre argues too many decisions are made without actual consideration from students. For instance, antibullying campaigns and related district policies can be outdated and misunderstood by adults.

“My friends say we’d rather be bullied in the 1970s because at least when you leave school, it ends. Now, once you go home, it’s online,” he said.

Dela Torre said older generations may also have a misconstrued notion of teenagers and young adults because all of their mistakes seem to be broadcast online.

Dela Torre has ambitions for public service and his goal is to one day reach Parliament. He describes himself as a left-leaning member of the New Democratic Party.

Through this program, Moore and other volunteers devoted one-on-one attention to the cats, helping them adapt to their new circumstances and to build trust in their new human friends.

Eyal Lichtmann, CEO of RAPS, wrote in a memorial that this innovation “changes the lives of the many animals who come to us fearful and unsocialized.”

“All my interaction with Moore has been incredibly positive,” said Lichtmann to the News.

“She was a woman who always came up with ideas. She had a very entrepreneurial way of thinking, and she absolutely loved the sanctuary,” said Lichtmann.

Moore and her husband contributed to the Moore House, a single trailer which Lichtmann describes as “one of the most important places for senior cats to find quiet and peace.”

She also took people on tours around the sanctuary every Sunday, provided financial sponsorship to many cats and organized RAPS’ summer parties.

For more than a year after her cancer diagnosis, Moore didn’t stop cleaning the sanctuary until four months ago, when she said “her back was hurting,” recalled Reid.

Having worked with Moore at RAPS for 14 years, Reid said she was someone who always asked everybody about themselves but never talked about herself.

“She was very a quiet person. She didn’t tell a lot of things to other people, or say what she did to help. She would just go ahead and do them,” said Reid.

“Even after she developed cancer, she still didn’t talk about her illness. She would always direct the conversation back to you, which was just amazing.

“She made everybody feel so comfortable around her. That was the way she was right till the end.”

Last Wednesday, just two days before she passed away, Moore was recognized at the RAPS annual general meeting for her years of caring and commitment.

A service is being held on Thursday, July 26 at 11 a.m. at St Joseph the Worker, 4451 Williams Rd. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to RAPS online at RAPSbc.com.

Moore is survived by her husband Doug, her brothers Ken and Jim Strueby, of Chilliwack, and her two cats, Puck and Lucy.

Performers set for Maritime Fest Cecilia Hua RICHMOND NEWS

The 15th annual Richmond Maritime Festival is coming up this weekend and here are three local performers to look out for while you are exploring Steveston’s heritage sites: Meet “Gunky Gertrude, also known as Angelica Poversky a McMath secondary school alumna who will be dressing up as a roving character and interacting with festival attendees all weekend long.

“The character gives the historic value of Steveston but also gives the kids a chance to laugh and learn,” said Poversky.

Besides entertaining the crowd at the Maritime Festival every summer, Poversky regularly practises clowning and performance poetry.

Her poems have been published in numerous literary journals and her poetry group – the Tiny Tricycle Poets – has toured in multiple cities in the Pacific Northwest.

Three of the acts performing at this weekend’s Richmond Maritime Festival are Angelica Poversky (left), a McMath alumna, who will be dressing up as a roving character and interacting with festival attendees, Dan Propp (right) who will be in Britannia Heritage Shipyards’ Octopus Garden with his accordion and (below) the Roku ShiChi Taiko drummers, who will hit the main stage on Sunday at 3:45 p.m. Photos submitted

T

he Roku ShiChi Taiko drummers will hit the main stage on Sunday at 3:45 p.m.

Originally known as Testu Taiko, the group was formed in 2000 and became the first Richmond-based organized taiko group, which is a style of Japanese percussion.

Although the drumming group has been regularly performing at the Maritime Festival, this year’s line-up will be a little different. In addition to the teenage drummer from Roku ShiChi, there will also be new members from “Taiko 55” which is comprised of senior members from South Arm Community Centre.

This drumming group has performed previously at the Richmond Maritime Festival as well as the Salmon Festival parade and the Cherry Blossom picnic at YVR. Leader Doug Masuhara, who is also a teacher at Waverly Elementary, is excited to introduce this drumming group of all ages.

M

usic will be ringing through the Britannia Shipyards all weekend long as Dan Propp performs in the Octopus Garden with his handy accordion.

The 73-year-old Richmond musician specializes in singing “old time songs” from the 50s, 60s and 70s. He has 7 CDs filled with original music and five published books under his belt.

He is also a regular entertainer at the Fraserview Intermediate Care Lodge .

This is Propp’s third time performing at the Maritime Festival, and he says the crowd can expect “a lot of jumping up and down” during his shows.

Artists get summer call SAR at festival The Community Arts Council (CACR) is calling all artists to submit their best work for its seventh annual juried art exhibition “Mid-Summer Art’s Dream.”

The exhibit, which includes works from artists all over B.C., runs at Lansdowne Center Sept. 7 to 9.

The deadline to register online is Aug. 1 and contestants can submit up to three pieces of artwork in any of the four disciplines: painting, photography, textile and mixed media.

“Richmond has fabulous artists and we always get high-calibre entries,” said Margaret Stephens, treasurer of the CACR. For this year’s exhibition, a new “young adults” category has been added to encourage artists between the age of 15 and 21 to submit their artwork.

“(Young artists) are our future and it’s important to encourage them,” said Stephens.

“Most of them have probably never been featured in an exhibition before and getting feedback would be helpful.”

There will be first ($150), second ($75) and third ($50) cash prizes awarded to winners in each of the four disciplines for adult and young adult categories.

The entries will be judged by an adjudicator who “will remain anonymous to avoid backlash” and is “fully trained in all four disciplines.”

There will also be a People’s Choice award given to an entry in each discipline that’s selected by the public. For entry details and to register, go to RichmondArtsCouncil.org.

An active search will be conducted at the Richmond Maritime Festival by Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) Station 10.

Richmond’s volunteer marine search and rescue team will stage an open boat at the festival, hoping to rescue a low turnout of volunteers this year.

RCMSAR members will show off their main vessel at the dock to curious onlookers while hoping to rope in a few new volunteers.

“We would like to invite anyone interested in learning more about volunteering with us to come by for a chat and to have a look at our vessel and some of the equipment we train on,” said crewman David Poppell.

Donor-driven and Canadian Coast Guard sanctioned, RCMSAR conducts hundreds of missions on the Fraser River each year. In 2016, it reported 793 missions, one-fifth of which were distress calls. The marine patrol of 40-45 members, at any given time, logged 79,907 hours.

“You’ll be woken up at two in the morning to help someone who falls off a bridge or a fisherman who gets stuck on the rocks,” said Poppell.

Three Richmond students awarded grants Three Richmond students are heading off to UBC with a little more space in their budget, thanks to the efforts of the city’s business community.

Ryu Watanabe (A.R. MacNeill Secondary), Allyson Lara (Richmond Secondary School), and Rachael Gurdas (Richmond Secondary School) were selected as recipients of the Carol Young Scholarships for 2018, from a very impressive pool of candidates.

The Carol Young Scholarship is based upon the achievements of long-time Chamber employee, Carol Young, and rewards graduating Richmond high school students who have overcome adversity and worked to become leaders within their communities.

Each student was asked to submit a brief video explaining how they exemplify these characteristics.

Watanabe, Gurdas, and Lara each plan to attend the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia in the fall (though the award is open to a student planning to attend any post-secondary program, including trade programs).

“These young people really impressed us with their incredible poise and character,” said Chamber CEO Matt Pitcairn.

Summer book review program kicks off

Here are this week’s reviews:

Adrienne Title: Frankie Pickle: The Mathematical Menace, by Eric Wight Reviewed by Adrienne M. Age 9 This book is about a boy named Frankie who is having trouble with his math quiz. He has to study for his math quiz, which leads him to many places in his imagination. I like this book because it is full of cool adventures. It is also very cool how when Frankie is in actual life, it is like a normal chapter book; when it’s the adventure parts,the book becomes a comic.

I give this book five stars.

Title: Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning, by Lemony Snicket Reviewed by: Andrea C. age 11

Andrea This book is about the Baudelaire children who were informed that their parents have perished in a fire.

Soon they are off to live with a man named Count Olaf.

Count Olaf is a terrible man who is after the fortune that the orphans’ parents left them. I love this book because it gives you a big urge to keep reading till you read all night. This book has a mysterious suspense that makes it an excellent choice for parents and children to enjoy!

I give this book five stars.

Alia Title: Bad Hair Day, by Sarah Mlynowski Reviewed by: Alia K. age 7 Abby and Jonah have a magic mirror in their basement. One night, Abby and Jonah sneak down to the basement and knock on the mirror three times. A purple swirl appears and sucks them inside, and takes them to a

fairy tale. I like this book because the magic mirror is magical, and takes people to fairy tales, and I like fairy tales because they make me think about being in a magical land and meeting new superheroes, princesses, talking glasses, monsters and penguins.

I give this book five stars.

Biao Biao Title: Dinosaur A to Z,

by Dustin Growick Reviewed by: Biao G. Age 7

Biao

This book is about dinosaur names and species and their appearance. It even shows their size! It’s placed in alphabetical order to make it easier to look things up. The book also explains their life cycle, food, habitat, their defences and when they existed. I like this book because it’s really descriptive and they drew a background with images of dinosaurs to make it fun for kids. Because kids like to read it, it also encourages kids to read other books. The book explained almost everything about dinosaurs in clear simple paragraphs that attracted my attention the moment I saw it. If you are doing a project about dinosaur species, I suggest you read this book!

I give this book five stars.

Inheritance in the matrimonial domain We are now in the midst of the greatest wealth transfer in human history.

As the generation of the Second World War passes, in many instances their families are inheriting at record levels. In the generational level of these children, with the “break up” rate fairly high, the question arises of how inheritances are being examined and considered by our Courts in matrimonial proceedings.

It is a complex issue because it seems to me that, in these proceedings, Courts have several significant issues to consider. Some divorcing couples have marriage agreements, but they can be declared “unfair” by Courts.

There is also the fact that inheritances are uncertain. A mother or father can change their Will; they can lose assets or spend more than they expected because of health concerns.

How important are relationships – letofme the ways!

Recently, our Court Appealcount released reasons in the case H.S.S. v. S.H.D. This case is an important one from an inheritance perspective.

3 BEDROOM AND DEN OVER 1400SF - THE VILLAGE AT IMPERIAL LANDING IN STEVESTON. OPEN HOUSE: SATURDAY JULY 28 FROM 2:00 – 4:00PM.

Parents raised over $100,000 for a new playground at Diefenbaker elementary, which was constructed over last weekend. Graeme Wood photo

John Diefenbaker elementary school is entering the 21st century of outdoor play with a new community-sponsored playground, featuring, among other things, unique swings and a small zip line.

Parent Lica Stroud helped organize the construction of the playground last week after about $102,000 had been raised over the course of years.

“It’s been years in the making,” said Stroud.

Parents and neighbours volunteered numerous hours of fundraising, culminating in the playground’s construction (again, with volunteer time) over the weekend.

The playground was expedited for the

Diefenbaker neighbourhood, just northwest of Steveston Village, by a $36,000 donation from local developer Rick Illich, who matched funds from a silent auction this year. Stroud said there are countless other donors from the Richmond business community.

Helping construct the playground were school principal Elaine Stapleton and viceprincipal Trevor Shuto.

“It gives them newer options to play on and newer things to experiment and a reason to go out. This shows a community is willing to come together and do something for the kids in the area,” said Stapleton.

Au eyes Alibaba processing centre Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Coun. Chak Au hopes to turn Richmond into an international trade hub and believes working with the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba will help realize that.

Au took a trip last month to the headquarters of Alibaba in Hangzhou, China, to lobby the company to set up at least one e-trade processing centre in Richmond.

Au told the Richmond News that prior to the trip, which was undertaken during his vacation, he had met with Steve Wang, general manager of Alibaba North America, after the company’s May announcement that it would set up its first Canadian office in Vancouver.

“This is the first time Alibaba has contemplated an office in Canada.

It would really bring the level of activities and promotion to a higher level, and help local businesses use their platform to sell products,” said Au. “I told [Wang] I’d like to invite them to set up at least one e-trade processing centre in Richmond, where goods sent from abroad will stopover before being distributed to other parts of Canada.

“It will create jobs, generate business and benefit our logistics industry in Richmond,” he added.

Alibaba, which has a daily sales record of US$25 billion and manages 325,000 orders per second at peak, was initially not even aware of Richmond and instead had its sights set on Vancouver, according to Au. “I told them that in Richmond last year we tried to bid for Amazon’s headquarters. Although we were not successful, we are ready to head in that direction, becoming a major e-commerce international trade centre,” said Au. “I also said Richmond was the finalist for the federal ‘Smart City’ grant. We received $250,000 to write the plan. If we are successful, we would receive $10 million from the federal government to develop the plan.

“And because of Richmond’s proximity to the airport, we are the entry point to western Canada. Then they became interested in what Richmond could offer them.”

Au believes a processing centre is the first step for Richmond to engage with Alibaba, the chief rival of Amazon, in order to open up more opportunities for local businesses who could then take advantage of its platform.

“We have so many small to midsize businesses in Richmond, but it’s difficult for them to enter overseas markets. Through e-commerce, they can really find a way to break into markets in Asia,” said Au.

Au said he understands some local businesses’ concerns about doing business with China due to differences in culture, language and ways of operating, but he believes e-commerce will minimize these.

“That’s why I think e-commerce is really the way to go. It really minimizes the difficulties between countries, companies and cultures.

Companies here can sell directly to customers or to other businesses in China or Asia.

“My wish is that we can sell more to China, not the other way around.

There is a huge trade deficit between China and Canada and we need to promote selling to other markets.”

Au said Richmond should ditch the mindset that it is the backyard of Vancouver, and instead look into opportunities that bring the city on to the international stage.

“When I talk about Alibaba to my colleagues, one asked, ‘what is Alibaba?’ It surprised me,” he said.

“Of course I won’t say everyone should know about Alibaba, but if people who are leading our city are not aware of Alibaba, after we entered the competition for the Amazon headquarters, they probably don’t know what’s going on.

“My vision for Richmond is that we should develop ourselves into an international trade hub; our economic development should not just rely on real estate.”

Coun. Chak Au visited the headquarters of the e-commerce giant Alibaba in China to persuade them to build an e-trade processing centre in Richmond. Photo submitted

AFRICA BREAKS NATIONS CUP DUCK Mark Booth RICHMOND NEWS

It was a breakthrough victory for a perennial contender at the 39th annual Nations Cup. Africa is Open Division champions for the first time since 1995 — capping a perfect five-game run at the annual summer soccer showcase at Hugh Boyd Park with a 5-1 victory over Canada in Sunday night’s championship game.

Noted for its flare and attacking style, Africa has been a constant threat in recent years with typically one pivotal match not going its way. There would be no disappointment this time as a first place finish in Group B was followed by an emotionally charged semi-final win in penalty kicks over two-time defending champion Italy.

“They’ve had some unlucky results the last couple of years where they looked like they could be very competitive,” said Nations Cup president Jeff Wilson. “They can look really really good and always put on an excit-

The Kajaks Track and Field Club member and University of Cal-Berkeley student won gold thanks to her opening throw of 64.90 metres — finishing ahead of American rival Alyssa Wilson (64.14). She qualified for the 2016 U20 Worlds in Poland as one of the youngest athletes at the championships but did not advance to the finals. Camryn enjoyed a memorable NCAA freshman season as well, breaking the school record back in April. The News is proud to recognized Camryn as athlete of the month for July.

“What you are seeing in the women’s division is the emergence of the young player,” added Wilson.

“It’s a nice testament to the female development that is going on. They are that much better, that much more competitive and committed.”

He added it’s paving the way for a women’s over 30s division for the first time as soon as next year.

Other winners included: India (Over 30s), India (Over 38), Fiji (Over 45) and China (Over 52).

Corner kicks: It appears Nations Cup’s popularity continues to grow, evidence by a line-up of about 25 deep just to enter the beer garden on championship Sunday.

It was a terrific debut on the international stage for Wesley Chiu.

The Connaught Skating Club member was selected by Skate Canada to represent his country at Skate Milwaukee, where he was up against the top novice level skaters on the continent.

Chiu thrived in the competitive environment — earning a bronze medal thanks to a terrific long program that was highlighted by landing a triple lutz jump for the very first time in a competition.

“There’s been lots and lots of practice,” smiled the 13-year-old who will be in Grade 8 in September at Richmond Christian.

Chiu’s invitation to Wisconsin was the next step in his promising career that included being selected to Skate Canada’s Next Generation Camp last fall in Montreal.

He enjoyed a terrific 2017 season — highlighted by a bronze medal at Skate Canada Challenge. Now he enters his second year competing at Novice with even higher ex-

Connaught skater Wesley Chiu won bronze in U.S. pectations. “This is his year in Novice and this was a great way to start going into the season,” said Chiu’s coach Eileen Murphy.

“We do have things we need to work on which was also what that competition was all about. It’s getting better while enjoying it and having fun. It’s still early in the summer and he is already hungry.”

Chiu was among 11 Canadian and American skaters selected to compete in his division.

“I really didn’t know a lot of the skaters.

The first time I saw them was on the ice at practice,” added Chiu. “I really didn’t know what to expect.”

Richmond athletes competing at Canada’s Special Olympics “They are very, very talented; they are some of the best in the country.

I think they have a good chance of bringing back medals,” said Vanderwell.

Daisy Xiong RICHMOND NEWS

Two special athletes and two coaches from Richmond will represent Team BC to compete at the 2018 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games, the highest ranking competition in the country for adults with intellectual disabilities.

Richmond swimming athletes Magnus Batara and Cullen Yee, basketball head coach Donny Gillanders and athletics coach Chris Vanderwel, will attend the games from July 31 to Aug. 4 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

“It’s a huge honour to be a part of the national game and to represent B.C. It’s something we are very proud of,” Vanderwell told the Richmond News.

“The athletes are just so passionate and dedicated to their sports.

“As a coach, I’m always humbled to see how hard they have worked

“And I believe Team B.C. is strong in all areas with all of this time and dedication from everyone.”

But Vanderwell said the main purpose of the games is to “have fun, be positive and to support each other.”

Richmond athlete Magnus Batara is one of two locals competing at Special Olympics Canada Summer Games next week. Photo submitted and the positivity that surrounds everything about the games.”

All Richmond athletes have spent the last four years preparing for the game, and they all received intensive full-time training since they qualified last year.

Qualified athletes will be invited to attend the 2019 Special Olympic World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Becoming a volunteer coach for Special Olympics BC – Richmond five years ago, Vanderwell said he has enjoyed every bit of it.

“We are always looking for volunteers, especially volunteers with an athletics background. We have sports programs in hockey, baseball, track and field, gymnastics and bowling,” he said.
