Playing on for ‘Cat’ Softball team battles for win despite loss of loved coach ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

t was as if she was looking down on them from heaven. Softball coach Chris Davies had no doubt his longtime assistant Catherine “Cat” Wheatley had a hand in the game last Thursday when his Richmond Islanders 2000B girls took on the Fleetwood Force at London Steveston Park. Just two days earlier, the girls received the tragic news from Davies that Wheatley — who had been volunteering with the team for 10 years, nine of those years as assistant coach — had succumbed to critical injuries sustained in an April 6 car crash in Ladner. Given the circumstances, Davies had offered to postpone the game, but the girls refused, opting instead to play in 22-year-old Wheatley’s honour. And despite trailing late in the ball-game, the Richmond girls battled back to claim an emotional 7-6 victory.

“It was a pretty touching moment. The girls and the opposition all wore something pink in Cat’s honour,” said Davies. “They played in a tournament on the weekend as well; they all wanted to play and win in Cat’s memory. They didn’t win, but I told them that playing in her honour is what’s important, as she’d be looking down on us.” Davies said the girls, having known Wheatley since they were six years old, were “devastated” by the loss of their mentor. “My daughter was very close to her; she trained my daughter to pitch,” said Davies. “And if the girls had any boy issues, for example, she was there for them. She was their role model. She was very close to these girls. “About two years ago, I lost my younger brother and this has hit me just as hard. She was just 22 and was starting to get her life together.” Davies said, beyond the 2000B Islanders and even outside the Richmond Girls Softball Association (RGSA), Wheatley was also well known. “She ran pitching clinics and helped with a whole bunch of teams; it’s a pretty close-knit

community,” he said. “She stopped playing when she was 18 due to a leg injury, but before that, she had played and coached in the provincials and played in the Canada Cup. “She’s been involved with the RGSA since she was 12, volunteering her time.” See Wheatley page 3

“Everyone knows each other and the students work so well together because of that,” said Mahil. They tout Woodward’s stellar record of sports teams and community events as just some of the school’s lasting legacy. If Woodward was shut down, it could still stay open temporarily — for five to seven years — as a satellite school for other students as their schools get seismic upgrades. But that’s of little consolation to Mahil. “We felt ownership” of the school, she said, pondering how the park would remain as good as it is now without a PAC to maintain it. Parent Marjorie Chu is raising safety concerns, as well. For one, students would have to cross major arterial roads if Woodward is closed, noted Chu. Parent Lorna Ko is worried about the park being abandoned. “I’m not sure I would feel safe. Right now the teachers and kids are playing here and you know it’s

kind of safe. If no one’s checking up, I don’t know what will happen or what’s going to be found here,” said Ko. Community activist and Richmond News columnist Jim Wright said Rideau-area residents are dealing with an abandoned playground. With no PAC to fundraise for a new one, the site has sat empty since last September. District secretary treasurer Mark De Mello admitted there was an oversight with the playground’s maintenance and with more closures forecasted, the district and city will need to develop a game plan to maintain green spaces. Now, according to Coun. Carol Day, city council has decided to build a new playground on its portion of the park (most school sites/ fields are split between the district and the city) in 2017. Coun. Chak Au had wanted it built immediately. Wright said the playground, which he calls a “social centre for the

community,” would be better on the original site, next to the swings and park benches. What is decided, will come down to city-district negotiations on how to maintain shuttered school sites. Presently, the parks department mows all school fields, while the district provides rental space for city programs in return, according to De Mello. Day said, while that partnership is good, the broader picture of planning and cooperation between the city and district is not. “It seems like the school board is doing their thing and the city is densifying all over the place.” Worsening the problem, in Day’s opinion, is the ministry’s order, which doesn’t factor in future growth. She noted the Gardens condo development will add some 500 residential units close to Woodward. “The ministry has to look past the end of their nose,” said Day, whose children attended Woodward.

Wheatley was 'one of those kids that the girls took to' From page 1 Last year, added Davies, Wheatley, a Cambie secondary grad, had gone back to school, studying recreation leadership at Langara College and was competing in her new love, bodybuilding. She was also a personal trainer at a local gym. Al Groff, RGSA president, said Wheatley was “just one of those kids that the girls took to. . .It was great for the girls to have someone like her, rather than a chubby, bald guy,” said Groff. “She could get that little extra out of people. She had an edge about her, but it was a

competitive edge. “It’s definitely a very sad loss. We really appreciate the young women that come back to the association and she will be missed very much by that team. “But I’m sure she will be looking down on them and helping them along.” A message of condolence to Wheatley’s family, posted on the RGSA website, refers to the loss of a “member of the RGSA family.” On the same website, some of the players, identified by their jersey numbers, posted their own tributes. 2000B Islanders #5 wrote, “Cat, thank you

for teaching me that even though I’m small, I can still be strong. I’ll miss you and you will forever be in my heart,” while Islanders #12 wrote, “Cat you will forever be my role modeI. I will miss you & you will never be forgotten.” A message on FitBodyBC.com told of how “Cat” had taken part in four bodybuilding shows in recent years and was training and prepping for the B.C. Championships 2016, which she had qualified for. “May you rest in peace, I will never forget your BEAUTIFUL SOUL….I will miss you greatly, Godspeed my sweet friend, the world will not be the same without your bright

light…Love you always xoxo,” the post read. Earlier this month, the News reported how a 33-year-old male driver from Richmond had died after his car-travelling westbound in the 9600-block of Highway 10 in Ladner - veered left and went off the road into the ditch. Wheatley was a passenger in the car. The driver has yet to be named and Delta Police said this week the cause of the crash is still under investigation. A celebration of life service for Wheatley will take place this Sunday, May 1 at 1 p.m. at the Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Road.

Day praises new childcare facility

DNA test ties Richmond men to deer kill

Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

ong a critic of the development process in Richmond, Coun. Carol Day sung high praises for the city’s agreement with developer Polygon to build a $3.3 million childcare facility at the old Steveston High site, now a 133-unit townhouse complex called Kingsley Estates. “I commend Polygon,” said Day Monday evening at a council meeting that witnessed the approval of the facility’s design. The facility, paid in full by Polygon, will be able to host 37 children and should open in time for the 2017 school year, according to a city report. The 5,500-square-foot building is one storey and is situated at the north end of the townhouse complex on No. 2 Road. It will feature outdoor play areas and is said to take advantage of sunlight in the winter months. It will cost the city $35,000 to run annually and the city is looking for an operator. The city will soon choose a name for the facility, which was a community amenity contribution, payable by Polygon in exchange for rezoning the property when the company bought the site for about $41 million. The city was able to maintain some of the land in the back of the property as green space and will be redevelop-

dead deer’s DNA helped tie two Richmond men to an out-of-season hunting expedition in Rose Prairie. Late last month, Xiaojing Guo and Yong Li pleaded guilty to possession of dead wildlife and illegal hunting in a Richmond court. The two were charged after killing deer on a hunting expedition in Rose Prairie near Fort St. John in August 2013. The BC Conservation Officer Service got a complaint about the hunting party from a resident, who said the men had killed a deer despite seasonal prohibitions on doing so. Seven men in the group were initially charged. Conservation officers caught up with the men and found the bodies of two deer. “We collected blood from the kill site, and then we had DNA from the deer that were seized,” Conservation Officer Blake Parker said. “We were able to link them that way.” He said it’s not uncommon for COs to use DNA in illegal hunting cases. “It depends on what evidence we have,” he said. “If we have (DNA), we do use it when we can. We save sending it out and getting it tested for the more serious offences. We don’t do it like 20 times a year.” Guo was fined $3,500 and handed a three-year prohibition on hunting on March 31. Li was also given a threeyear hunting prohibition, as well as $2,300 in fines Their rifles, the deer carcasses and other hunting paraphernalia were confiscated. — Alaska Highway News

Patience is a virtue for eagle-eyed Mounties ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

eing patient and not diving into any given situation is a virtue many aspire to possess. Thankfully, it’s an asset that already appears to be in the locker of the Richmond RCMP’s Quick Response Team (QRT), who lay in wait, biding their time for a pair of alleged thieves. The QRT officers were patrolling the area of Glenthorne Court and Glenhorne Drive — near Francis and No. 4 roads — when they came across a van they suspected was stolen. Further checks verified that the grey, 2005 Pontiac Montana van, unoccupied at the time, was reported stolen from Richmond on April 13. Instead of commandeering the van, the officers quietly waited to see if anyone would return. And shortly after 5 p.m., three suspects — two males and a female — returned to the Pontiac and proceeded to drive it away. The QRT team then liaised with the Lower Mainland Division of the Police Dog Services Unit, which resulted in the van being surrounded near Bakerview Drive, just south of where it was origi-

nally discovered. The van’s three occupants were arrested and a cache of stolen property was recovered, including personal electronics, identification, credit cards and a luxury watch. Last week, Richmond Crown Counsel approved multiple charges for two of the individuals. Christopher Cullum, 26, of Richmond, has been charged with one count of driving while prohibited and one count of breach of probation. Richard Yeltatzie, 35, of Richmond, has been charged with one count of possession of stolen property under $5,000, one count of possession of identity documents and one count of breach of probation. The woman in question was released without charge. “A well calculated hunch or better yet, good instincts by our officers led to those arrests,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “The decision to wait and see who would return to the vehicle proved to be very fruitful. Two of the suspects charged are well known to police.” Hwang said the officers were able to return much of the property to their rightful owners, adding that it “gives us great satisfaction to be able to do that. Arresting suspects? Well, that goes without saying.”

Shortly after 5 p.m. last Thursday, April 21, Richmond RCMP officers were called to the 7,000 block of Minoru Boulevard — between Granville Avenue and Blundell Road — for a report of a male being assaulted. It’s alleged that as many as three assailants attacked the victim, a 20-year-old Vancouver man who is known to police, and then fled in a vehicle. The suspects are all described as male, possibly in their early to mid-20s. Police say no other descriptions are available at this time.

controversial jet fuel pipeline soon to be built across Richmond may get bigger, after its proponents filed for an amendment to the project’s environmental certificate. The Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is now asking the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office to amend the certificate in order to approve a 10 per cent increase in pipeline diameter, as well as some route changes between the storage facility near Riverport Entertainment Complex and Vancouver International Airport. VAFFC, a consortium of airlines operating out of the airport, stated in an email the proposed increase in size of the 13-kilometre pipeline is “marginal,” from 324 millimetres to 356, and will improve efficiency while reducing capital and operating costs. Also, the pipeline route will shift. VAFFC now wants to put the pipeline along Bridgeport Road, as opposed to some local roads, and is proposing other route changes in south Richmond. Two public information sessions will be held in May, with VAFFC staff on hand to answer questions and provide comment opportunities. Details of the amendments will not be available online until May 13, one day before the first public session. Thereafter, the public can submit comments online for 21 days. The certificate was initially issued in December 2013, following the federal government’s “harmonized” environmental review

that did not include Environment Canada or the Department of Fisheries and Oceans — a point of contention with local residents. In February, Port Metro Vancouver issued VAFFC a permit to build a loading dock and six storage tanks for 80 million litres of fuel. Steveston-Richmond East MP Joe Peschisolido has called for a full review of the port, targeting its apparent decision-making autonomy. The pipeline must still receive a permit from the BC Oil and Gas Commission, which will include more public consultation. The City of Richmond has opposed the project, citing concerns over fire safety, among other things. VAFFC maintains the project is committed to a safe and responsible fuel delivery system. Presently, the airport gets fuel from a refinery in Burnaby and up to 1,200 truck deliveries from the U.S. a month. Amendment and public information session information can be viewed at VancouverAirportFuel.ca. The first session is May 14 at the Executive Airport Plaza from 1-5 p.m.

The new signs, bearing a poppy emblem, will be installed at some point in 2017 now that Richmond city council approved the $45,000 project, which serves to celebrate and remember at least 55 fallen soldiers from two world wars. The idea was initially suggested by school trustee Ken Hamaguchi in a conversation he had with members of the Friends of the Richmond Archives last Remembrance Day. The volunteer group had put up a display at city hall about the history behind the names of some Richmond roads. Hamaguchi noted the idea has taken hold in many other Canadian cities, including Vancouver, where poppies are found nearby the downtown cenotaph. Barbara Williams, president of the Friends of the Richmond Archives, said the new signs will add clarity to the honour bestowed upon the men. “We were constantly reminded many of our residents had no idea why their street’s name was chosen,” Williams told city council Monday. City staff suggested the new street signs to councillors last week at a committee meeting. Council voted unanimously to draw money from next year’s capital budget to fund the estimated 275 new street signs for the 54 existing roads that honour the soldiers.

Staff had looked at the possibility of adding a poppy to the existing signs, but found it wasn’t feasible. “These signs would be consistent with council’s goals to reflect the rich history and sacrifice m made by Richmond residents,” n noted a staff report to council. Notably, the city will soon h have a 55th road named after a fallen soldier, after Mayor M Malcolm Brodie announced in F February that a new road betw tween General Currie Road and G Granville Avenue, connecting to No. 4 Road, will be named E Edgington Road. n A special Vancouver street According to the Friends, sign near the cenotaph Pte. Ernest Edward Edgington was killed in December 1943 in Italy. He had a road named after him in the old Cora Brown subdivision on Sea Island; however, when the area was redeveloped, the road name had not been reassigned — until now. City council has directed staff to look into adding special street signs for streets named after Richmond pioneers, such as those who founded social, commercial and industrial organizations and establishments.

Coun. Steves: Railway Corridor not a ‘park’ Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

t first it may come as a surprise that Coun. Harold Steves is hoping to put an end to the city staff’s attempt to designate the Railway Corridor as a park. But that’s only because Steves wants the corridor designated under the Official Community Plan as land that could be used for a light-rail transit line in the future. Steves opposed the city’s attempt to designate the corridor as park land and gained the support of city council to remove the request from a recent report that served to amend various parcels of park land throughout the city. Steves said he didn’t want a repeat of what happened in Vancouver, when the Canada Line was built and residents forced it underground to save what they called heritage trees on the Cambie Street boulevard. The corridor from Garry Street to Granville Avenue is an 18-acre linear park but is presently designated as “neighbourhood residential” zoning. Steves wants it re-designated as “park” and “light-rail.” “Generations before us had the vision to put in light rail transit” to Steveston, he said. Now that city council is proposing to densify arterial roads, and especially Railway Avenue, Steves said that reality may come sooner than expected. He said there is enough room to put a line down the corridor and maintain the trail and most of the existing trees. City staff told council that a light rail line can be built on the corridor even if it’s designated as park only. But Steves said he doesn’t want confusion decades after the fact. Railway Avenue used to service the Interurban Tram from Steveston to downtown Vancouver. A continuous linear route from Steveston Park, via the Steveston Wye Trail, to Granville Avenue was broken when houses were allowed to be built along Railway, south of Garry,

in the 1990s. A new rail line/tramway would now need to run along Garry or Moncton Street to the village. In the same council-approved report, the city has lifted the park designation for the southeast corner of No. 5 and Cambie roads, making it possible to allow a townhouse development.

Local tree bylaw a sad joke How Dear Editor, Richmond’s tree bylaw could be called a joke if it wasn’t so sad. My neighbours and I just watched every single tree on a Seafair lot being clearcut. Gone are six poplars, two large evergreens and one magnificent birch. The mother of two young sons, who formally rented the 1950s split-level house, happened to drive by to witness the sad event. Her sons used to play under the poplar, swing in the evergreen. A hammock used to be strung to the tree...but no more. The house was a lovely home with a brand new kitchen — granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, new bathroom. But, no matter. Make way for a 4,000-square-foot monster home. No matter that the rental stock is disappearing in Richmond. No matter that the neighbourhood elementary school is also rumoured to be on the chopping block (not enough kids anymore). Personally, I am sad to see the changes for the residents. But, what makes me sadder is to see

valuable is public art?

n Letter writer Steve Guthrie laments the loss of local trees that provided natural habitat, as well as an enjoyable place to swing. Photo submitted

the loss of nature; magnificent trees replaced with pavement and paving stones. What makes me mad is Richmond’s response to the loss of nature — a tree removal bylaw. I previously called the bylaw department to complain about the removal of the largest evergreen on our street. The response: “It’s OK, they have a permit. They want to put a driveway there.” No thought about refusing the

permit. No thought that maybe they could have put the driveway on the other side and left the beautiful tree. Money paid, permit obtained, tree gone. I noticed April 22 was Earth Day. Who is going to swing on this tree again? Where will the birds nest? What other nature will we lose? Steve Guthrie Richmond

Dear Editor, Re: “Manhole covers get artsy,” News April 22. What is with our council’s fascination with public art? A pole and rain cloud for $350,000. Branscome House has sat largely vacant after a $301,500 reno. Don’t get me started about the Canada Line plinth! Now, we have these beautiful new manhole covers. If this public art is so valuable, let a private citizen purchase it and donate it to the city. Then we’ll see what its value really is. I think a far better use of the funds would be to purchase a new MRI or CT scanner for Richmond’s residents. Chris Dyck Richmond

Claiming to be busy is a poor excuse Dear Editor Re: “Sorry, I’m just too busy,” Voices, April 22. I enjoyed reading Alan Campbell’s column. It resonated with me because I’m the president of a 168-unit strata complex. Many times when I suggest to someone that they run for council I also get the response of, “I have kids.....I’m working ....I don’t have the time...” In my situation, I have a full-time job, I have two young kids (five and eight years old), I take my kids to twice-weekly music lessons, and I handle the administration as president of the strata. How do I find the time? I make the time, so all 400-plus residents here can coexist peacefully and to ensure our strata funds are never again riddled with corrupt expenses (an unrelated story that made me join the strata council three years ago to put a stop to it.). How we set our priorities allows us the time to accomplish almost everything in life. When people tell me they’re too busy to deal with strata “stuff,” I’m always ready to tell them my personal situation and challenge them to define their “busy” excuse. So, I was glad to see in writing that I’m not the only strata president who faces the “I’m too busy” excuse from people. It’s my final year on the strata council because we have a relatively “new” bylaw that sets term limits for council members — the bylaw was initiated to prevent a repeat episode of council-corruption. At our next AGM, I hope we have owners who can step forward and not lean back on the all-too-comfortable, “I’m too busy” line. Pinky Dang Richmond

Dear Editor, Re: “Sorry, I’m just too busy,” Voices, April 22. Thank you, Mr. Campbell. Your page three column hits the nail on the head. The other much overused expression, used when you call someone on their excuses, is “whatever,” the true enemy of social communication. I pictured hundreds of readers shrugging while muttering, “Whatever.. .” I wasn’t one of them. While I don’t live in a strata, I work, volunteer, shop, help neighbours, etc., all while dealing with issues relating to my mobility disability. Yet my first response when a friend and/or neighbour wants to talk, even to ask me to do something, is “Sure, what’s up?” If someone you love says, “Can you do me a favour?” your first response is, “Sure, what is it?” If you don’t like them much, you’ll respond, “Depends on what.” or “Sorry, I’m just too busy.” Before the next person asks you, “Got a minute?” you need to decide if you’re a friendly type or a misanthrope. George Pope Richmond

Dear Editor, Re: “Sorry, I’m just too busy,” Voices, April 22. I would have thought you could come up with other reasons why people are not attending open houses. I became one of those people, but not because I’m too busy. Rather, I’m frustrated with the status quo in Richmond ever since this administration has been in place. I attended open house after open house, involved myself in politics locally and federally, thinking that if I could even effect some small change for the good, then it would all be worth it. Finally, I stopped attending, realizing that after many years of trying, it makes no difference what an open house provides. The decisions are made well before any open house or consultations take place. The only way we can make a difference in what goes on in Richmond is on election day. That can work, but only if elections are fair. This city has been backed by developers for a long time, and if you can’t paint that picture in your mind then you are willfully blind. It’s been the same old faces, the same money and the same direction: Build! This city council is loyal to developers only and will say what is necessary to the constituents to keep them on side. For anyone else who aspires to municipal governing, we have a perfect glowing example of how not to grow a city. Don’t be so quick to judge the no-shows as complainers or people who just refused to make the time. Maybe they are just pissed and choose to spend their time changing things they can and trying to accept the things they can’t. That may sound like a cop-out, but you can screw people over just so many times and eventually they get it. Until the mechanism to create change is improved, nothing will change.

LETTERSto the Editor

Lobbyist should come clean before labelling complainers Dear Editor, Re: “Large lots led to megahomes,” Letters, April 22. Mark Sakai recently wrote to chastise Joanne Mantie for expressing her displeasure with the proliferation of megahomes in her old neighborhood as a contributing factor for her move from Richmond. Mr. Sakai is absolutely entitled to his opinion, but he should be more forthcoming as to who he is.

He writes his letter as if he is a concerned citizen, but is, in fact, a paid lobbyist for the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association, an organization with a vested interest in the densification he proposes. As Ms. Mantie chose to express her dissatisfaction with what has happened to Richmond, Mr. Sakai labels her as a complainer. For other long-time residents of Broadmoor who may share her views, Mr. Sakai says they

RAPS keen to lead pets to Promised Land Dear Editor, Richmond is a hugely multicultural place. It’s one of the reasons my family and I have always felt comfortable here. Richmond’s Jewish community isn’t the biggest or the most evident in the cultural diversity of this place, but we are a part of the fabric that makes Richmond what it is. Last week and this, Jewish people worldwide are celebrating Passover. At our dinner tables, we ritually re-enact the ancient escape of the Hebrew people from slavery under the Pharaoh in Egypt. We teach our children — and we remind ourselves — about the human need for liberation, for safety, for compassion and for freedom from oppression and homelessness. This is my first Passover as executive director of the Richmond Animal Protection Society. Last weekend, as we recounted this story of liberation over our family “seder” — the dinner table recounting of our history — I recognized parallels for the cats, dogs and other animals we care for at RAPS. These animals have often lived lives of misery, homelessness and hopelessness. RAPS helps the animals in our community to find what, for them, is the Promised Land. Animals help strengthen communities. They increase social interaction, reduce isolation among people, especially seniors, and even decrease the burden on the health care system. Moreover, every creature deserves a life of dignity, caring and compassion. At RAPS, this is what we provide. To the world, a stray cat or dog may be just another unkempt feral animal. With our care, that animal can become a companion that means the world to one individual or family. More importantly, the animals can find a forever home that is truly a Promised Land for them. Jewish tradition says the work of improving the world is our foremost task. For hundreds of animals, RAPS’ work is improving their world enormously. But our work is not done. We want to create a dog sanctuary that, like our cat sanctuary, will be a place where animals unlikely to find a forever home will live amid joy and love. And, perhaps most ambitiously, we want to create an inagency veterinary clinic that will provide on-the-spot medical care for our animals while reducing expenses so we can do even more for greater numbers of animals. To achieve these goals, we need the support of all the people of Richmond — driven by whatever faith, moral, humanitarian or other values motivate us — to come together in the compassionate care of the animals in our community. Eyal Lichtmann RAPS CEO

are partly responsible for the situation. He further states that ‘people are very upset’ about “neighbours from overseas,” a very thin reference to the fact that if you do not agree with what is happening in Richmond, you are a racist. He has clearly articulated the position of the GVHBA. Mr. Sakai claims that poor public policy has resulted in the dramatic rise in megahomes. Perhaps, the poor public policy

is allowing this, by successive developer-friendly city councils, building homes, essentially, from lot line to lot line with seemingly marginal height restrictions. Of course, if there happens to be any portion of the lot not built on, then pave it over. Also, let’s not forget the gated fence to add a sense of community. Finally, Mr. Sakai postulates that further densification could mitigate the need for school

closures. However, despite all the residential construction that has occurred in Richmond over the last 10 years, it failed to prevent the closure of Steveston secondary and in fact two Steveston elementary schools are under consideration for closure. Mr. Sakai needs to provide data prior to proposing land use changes. Al Williams Richmond

as pre-K education and childcare, leaving parents desperate to find adequate spaces for their children. At our school, James McKinney elementary, we have a preschool and a before and after school care centre, both of which are vital to our school community and a valued service to parents. The 95 per cent utilization rate across our district will likely cut desperately-needed services such as these, as schools are amalgamated and kids pushed into packed schools — with no room for these essential services for children and their families. I do not have my head in the sand, I realize a few schools may need to close in the face of declining enrollment or excessive seismic upgrades. That said, the high utilization rate your government is asserting for schools is an unfair number in currently developing areas. Reducing that number could go a long way to helping students and families in our city. Ms. Clark, you ran on a “Families First” agenda and I implore you to do right by the children and families of B.C. and fund schools in our communities. And, as you are not fully-funding childcare or preschools, at least allow them to hold vital spaces in our schools to serve our school communities. The equation for funding seismic upgrades doesn’t make sense in our rapidly changing city. I am calling on you to change your policy to include additional programming space and spaces leased to childcare and preschool centres and to immediately reduce the school utilization rate to allow for our rapidly developing city. Michelle Li, Richmond

DIRECTORY

APOSTOLIC PENTECOSTAL CHURCH Sunday Service 1:30-3:30 pm, Fellowship Follows.

Dear Premier Christy Clark, Minister Mike Bernier (education) and John Yap (Richmond-Steveston MLA). I am deeply disappointed in how this government is handling seismic upgrades for the schools in B.C.. But I am most disappointed knowing that this arbitrary and unfair number of 95 per cent utilization is hurting our school and community in the rapidly developing city of Richmond. Living in an area of Richmond seeing growth and development, just on the outskirts of Steveston village, is an eye-opener. The main roads surrounding our school catchment are changing from detached houses to semi-detached homes and townhouses. This is not only happening here, but in most areas of Richmond. I am worried that the 95 per cent utilization rate will force the closure of schools in areas that are currently densifying and will be needed in years to come. This seems a huge waste of resources to sell schools, or let schools fall out of repair, when they will be needed in the very near future. And yes, it’s not your government doing this, but it will be school boards forced to do this as government funding evaporates. The 95 per cent utilization also hurts our special programs, whether it be music, art or spaces for students with special needs. This utilization rate ensures no extra space in schools for programs essential to our schools. I am also concerned that the 95 per cent utilization rate blocks access to childcare spaces and preschools for working parents who desperately need them. As a government, you have flip-flopped on issues such

Bountiful turned teen off faith PHILIPRAPHAEL Staff Reporter

PRAPHAEL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

alt Disney’s movies were fine. Elvis flicks — strictly forbidden. Those were the kind of restrictions Maggie Rayner grew up with in her family during the 1950s in Richmond. It was a life full of rigid rules that adhered to the Mormon faith. Except the line was drawn at polygamy. “Don’t feel, don’t question. Just obey. That’s the way it was in our family,” says Rayner, who has written a book, In Polygamy’s Shadow: From a Mormon Childhood to a Life of Choice, to explain the ordeal she experienced as a pre-teen. She recalls in the book, when she was about 11, the day her 16-year-old sister was the subject of a church elder’s quest for a third wife. “To my young eyes, this man looked like a grandfather. He must have been in his 50s, and he was trying to woo my sister, opening car doors for her,” Rayner says. “I knew this wasn’t right. “I could see his second, younger wife, pregnant, struggling to get out of her own car. And here is this much older man whispering things to my sister. It was very upsetting.” Rayner says that her father, a high-ranking member of the local Mormon church, decided against the move to let his daughter go, despite the urging and attention of the church elder from the community of Bountiful, located in the Creston Valley of southeastern B.C. “I remember my sister being very embarrassed by all of this,” Rayner says.

“That elder’s first wife was trying to convince my mother how wonderful polygamy was. One wife went to work while the other stayed at home and took care of the children.” The decision by Rayner’s father, who is given the pseudonym Clarence in the book for privacy reasons, was one made more on how it would be perceived by the more mainstream Mormon congregation of about 200 at the time. n Maggie Rayner “My dad thought his decision was more of a postponement of polygamy,” Rayner says, adding it was something promised to him once he reached heaven. Firmly rooted back on Earth, Rayner said she decided from that point on not to subscribe to the church’s ways and in small ways would rebel, unbeknownst to her parents. “I’d sneak off and see Elvis movies,” she says, adding it was hard to defy her parents overtly. That came later, after she graduated from Richmond High and left the family home at 18 and went to work and live in Vancouver. “I knew that as long as I lived in my parents’ home, I had to live by their rules. My dad was a violent man and we all lived in fear. My parents never spoke openly about the church, and all I learned was from eavesdropping. “But it was enough to know I was never going to be able to make my own

choices in life as long as I lived there. So, I had to leave. And when I did, I remember, it was amazing to be free. I could go to the Vancouver Public Library and read anything that I wanted,” she says. Rayner left behind three sisters and three brothers. Two siblings — her oldest and youngest brothers — remained in the faith, while the others waited until their 30s to break away. She turned to writing about her experience in 2011, when a Bountiful elder hit the headlines regarding a tax fraud case. Her efforts were published in the Vancouver Sun, and the response to it was unexpected. “It was from people wanting to know more about our practices rather than church doctrine. But to get the information out was very emotional for me. It was the best therapy going.” That’s why she decided go a step further and write a book. “It’s a vehicle to inform people,” she says, adding that while she lost touch with her parents, who eventually left Richmond, first for Surrey then Penticton in the 1970s, she did keep in contact with the sister who had been the subject of the church elder. “As I wrote the book, I checked everything through her so I could write the full story,” she says. In Polygamy’s Shadow: From a Mormon Childhood to a Life of Choice is available as a print book through Amazon, Baker & Taylor, Ingram Book Company, and as an e-book through Amazon, Kobo, and iTunes.

Honesty upheld in fantasy world STEVENMcCREEDY Book Club

e are still waiting for George R.R. Martin’s Winds of Winter. Until then, if you need your fix of political intrigue and stories of revenge set in a fantasy world, Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series is a good alternative and the first book in the series, The Blade Itself, is a fine appetizer. The general idea of the world is fairly typical of epic fantasy: a kingdom is threatened by a mysterious threat and a ragtag band of heroes must work together to rid the world of the danger. Only in this case, none of them are heroes. Each character is more horrible than the last: the first we meet is an inquisitor, a sort of torturer who knows perfectly well that he does terrible things to potentially innocent people. The next is a barbarian who has spent a career raiding, assaulting and pillaging for nothing more than personal glory and a fancy name that he knows won’t follow him into death. Others include a layabout son of a noble and an ancient wizard who claims to be a figure from ancient legends. Yet, they are all honest about who they are. I know as the reader that they are all terrible people. They know they are terrible people. But, even so, the way they talk, the way they present themselves, I can’t help but like them. It’s as though all of the characters are charming villains who, despite their evil intentions, you still end up rooting for. I couldn’t help but be drawn to these men. And they are mostly men, though the women involved aren’t any better: in Best Served Cold, a standalone book later in the series, the main character is a bounty-hunting woman seeking revenge for her murdered brother. It starts bloody and only gets bloodier. To tell the truth, it’s hard to explain the plot of The Blade Itself: this is just the beginning of a larger series and like George R.R. Martin’s books, there are a lot of apparently unconnected threads that run through the books. Whatever the case, this book and series is probably the best thing I’ve read in a decade. Steven McCreedy is a library technician at the Cambie branch. Next in his reading stack is Eruption, about Mount St. Helens.

Clients enjoy extra care and services From page 12 A: It’s been very positive. Sometimes, clients will even tell me it’s not what they expected. But they add it was useful to be able to talk to me. Sometimes, it’s a Wve or 10-minute conversation. Other times it’s a full appointment, which we offer Wve days a week. A good example is our weight loss and diabetes management program where we’ve helped local Steveston and Richmond residents lose over 500 pounds. Many of these residents have never thought it possible for them to lose 30 pounds, not to mention decrease their blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes medications. And now all of that is happening, and it is through appointments with our pharmacists. Q: It’s unusual for pharmacists to provide scheduled appointments, why do you do that? A: When was the last time you heard of pharmacists taking appointments? You don’t. But to get down to the nitty gritty and Wgure out what else we can help you with, we need, perhaps, a half hour discussion. And we do about 20 appointments a week right now. That’s a major difference between us and a pharmacy, say, in a big box outlet. Q: You also End time for house calls? A: Yes. It can be a real help for my clients to have me see them in their home environment. For example, one lady I visited recently because I hadn’t seen her in a few weeks. When I saw her, I

noticed she had lost weight and wasn’t breathing very well because her lung condition was worsening. In this speciWc case, I told her a few things she could try to improve her health and then asked her to show me how she was using her inhaler. From there I decided I should get in touch with her family doctor. In all, there were seven recommendations we made, two of which we asked and received approval from her doctor and Wve which we could start right away and review after a couple of months. Q: Why do you carry shoes? Most pharmacies don’t do that. A: We like to think of ourselves as Richmond’s natural and integrated pharmacy. We want to provide alternative services and this is one of them. And it stems from clients coming in and complaining about foot pain, often because they

were buying shoes from the shopping mall that were either bought for their looks or their price, not their functionality to help them with their problem. This was happening too much, so about a year and a half ago we started offering shoes from Wve or six, name brand manufacturers who made shoes that help treat speciWc issues – people with bunions, or hammertoes, heel pain, etc. We also do custom orthotics after observing how a client walks, making a hard cast of their foot, and doing an electronic scan. But you know, sometimes clients don’t even need all that. What they really needs is a properly Wtted and designed pair of shoes. Q: Do you feel you are raising the bar for pharmacies? A: Hopefully. We, as small as we are, can show clients, one by one, how good pharmacists can be.

Hone your summer swing

armer weather sends scores of golfers to their favourite courses each and every day. Golf is a challenging pastime, but a few pointers can help golfers hone their short games, long games and everything in between. z Choose the right clubs. There is more to selecting clubs than pulling any old iron out of your golf bag and whacking away. Wind, hazards and obstructions in landing areas should influence your decision of which club to use. Novice golfers may want to rely on an experienced friend to make club recommendations, and as they become more confident in their abilities they can start to make their own choices. z Anchor your feet. Anchor your foot behind the ball to drive the ball further. Right-handed players will keep the right foot anchored, and lefties will do the opposite. Do not lift your foot prematurely; otherwise, you can lose power and distance. z Identify your weaknesses. As with any hobby, identifying those areas that need the most work can help you become a better golfer. Keep track of each shot you take, and then look at the results to see which areas of your game need the most work. z Fix your alignment. Align your shots by assessing the target from behind the ball. Then set the clubface behind the golf ball and align it with the target before you enter your stance. z Use your torso for power. The torso

is essential to a solid swing. Practice rotating from your core to control your backswing and then maintain the same spine angle and posture on the downswing. z Use the wind. Not every golf game will be played in perfect weather. A good player knows how to make adjustments for the wind depending on the shot. Use the wind to your advantage when you can, and adjust your swing when hitting into the wind.

z Become a better chipper. Many players put so much emphasis on their backswings and putts that they fail to devote any practice to chips. All shots are important for golfers trying to shed strokes off their scores. z Keep fit. Maintaining or improving your physical strength and overall health can help your golf game. Exercise and eat right, and you will have more endurance on the course. — Metro Creative

n May 19, golfers will convene at Richmond’s Quilchena Golf and Country Club to help support the fifth annual Children’s Organ Transplant Society & Starlight Children’s Foundation’s charity golf tournament. Funds and awareness raised on the day will support B.C. children requiring a transplant, plus Starlight’s seriously ill children and their families as they experience some of the most difficult times of their lives. Players will take on the 18-hole course and participate in some on-course contests, then be served a full-course dinner after the tournament which will include a live and silent auction, all while hoping to make a significant difference in the lives of seriously ill children. Participation in this signature golf event will directly support B.C. families with a seriously or chronically ill child or a child who had or is waiting for an organ transplant. Child ambassadors, Laura Guerrerro and Gracie Slack, along with MC Wayne Pederson, will participate in the event. Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada is part of Starlight’s global network, serving seriously ill children and their families through partnerships with more than 160 healthcare facilities. Over the past 25 years, Starlight has become a leading global charity that partners with experts to improve the life and health of kids and families around the world. Collaborating with innovators in pediatric healthcare, entertainment and technology, Starlight provides a unique blend of family-centred programs and services from hospital to home. The Children’s Organ Transplant Society is a registered charity dedicated to improving the lives of children requiring organ transplants and giving them hope for a brighter future through support services, advocacy and awareness. More than 120 families are supported through this organization.

Chamber commends city for RCMP decision

ichmond Chamber commends city for RCMP decision The Richmond Chamber of Commerce is commending Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie and the rest of council, as well as city staff, for their decision to heed the results of their public consultation process and maintain the RCMP contract. The results of the public consultation process, presented on April 11 found that “when taking into account the costs of establishing a new police force (both proposed transition cost and the addition funds required annually to support a new local police), residents were not convinced that there was enough cause for change.”

Those results closely mirror the results of the chamber’s own survey of business owners, which found that when chamber members were asked what they felt the best path forward for Richmond was, a clear majority favoured staying with the RCMP or investing the additional operating costs associated with a municipal force into improvements provided by the RCMP. A minority of only 15 per cent of respondents indicated a desire to implement an independent police force. “After consulting our members, our policy advisory committee and board of directors feel condent that the best way forward for Richmond’s policing is to main-

Strikers earn Bowl title at BC Sevens

cRoberts Strikers were Bowl Champions at the B.C. High School Girls Sevens Rugby Championships in Victoria. McRoberts had a difficult start to the tournament, losing its first two games — a tough opening match-up against #5 ranked GP Vanier (Courtenay), followed by a narrow defeat to #6 ranked Cowichan. However, with elimination from playoff competition looming, the 14th ranked Strikers rallied together behind fifth-year captain Thalia Puac and handed Smithers a lopsided loss 34-7. Both second-year prop Danielle Robertson (with a nifty step inside followed by a 40-yard scamper) and fourth-year Lock Jaya Gill scored tries, while third-year flanker Elizabeth Shin and second-year hooker Rainalyne Solaria made several try-saving tackles on girls twice their size. McRoberts finished day one with a 25-5 win over Nechako Valley (Vanderhoof) after some evasive running by third-year backs Kaitlyn Agda and Moé Yang created a handful of tries. The Strikers were also inspired by the play of rookie winger Keelin Laing, who led the team in tackles in her fourth game, resulting in just a single try against. Day two saw the girls enter the Bowl semi-finals against Lower Mainland league rivals Handsworth. After a back and forth first half resulted in a deadlocked score, tactical subs — rookie-winger Natalie Lester — with her strong and steady running — and prop Selina Zhou — with her well-timed straight-arms allowing

■ McRoberts Strikers earned their first-ever trophy at the third annual B.C. Sevens Rugby Championships in Victoria, defeating Belmont in the ninth place game.

her to keep possession of the ball at all-costs — re-energized the Strikers in the second half. It paved the way for rookie centre Leah Barber to score her second and third tries of the tournament and led McRoberts to 22-10 victory. The result put the girls into the Bowl finals (ninth Place in the province) to be played in front of 3,000 spectators at the Langford Westhills Stadium during a break in play at the World Rugby Sevens event later in the day. Their opponents would be Belmont

(Victoria) located just down the street from the stadium. With many local fans in attendance, the home-field advantage would enable Belmont to get out to a 12-7 lead early in the second half. However a 40-yard run by Valerie Wideski, dragging would-be tacklers as she went, set-up a try by fifth-year scrum half Tatum Friegang under the posts. The convert by Wideski put McRoberts in front 14-12. A final try by Friegang (her third of the game), after a long kick by Wideski, put the game on ice as time

expired, and the girls won their first piece of hardware at the provincial tournament since its inception three years ago. The Strikers revert back to their 15-a-side season with remaining games against cross-town rivals McMath and Windsor (North Vancouver). They also will look to compete in the AA-playoffs for a chance to advance to next month’s provincials in Kamloops. The team is coached by Graham Haigh, with assistance from Geoff Girling, Lily Du and Nina Chang.

McMath basketball standout taking her game to Calgary T

here will be a distinctive Richmond flavour when it comes to the University of Calgary women’s basketball team next season. The Dinos’ will feature former Steveston-London star Anmol Mattu and now graduating McMath Wildcats standout Bobbi-Jo Colburn. The versatile guard/forward officially committed to Calgary last month after helping the Wildcats reached the provincial championship game for the first time in school history. Colburn was named a Second Team All-Star

after previously earning First Team honours at the Lower Mainland and Richmond Championships. “I chose to become a Dino because of the atmosphere. When I went on my visit, it was different then my other visits. Everyone Imet was very nice and welcoming. The team was so friendly and it felt very natural when I was there,” said Colburn. She is the third senior McMath player to sign with a university program. Jessica Jones is headed to Simon Fraser and Jessica Zawada the

University of the Fraser Valley. “Bobbi-Jo has the character, attitude and play style that really suits where Calgary Dinos is going,” said head coach Damian Jennings. “She is a competitive, skilled guard who I know is going to enjoy playing in our up-tempo and tenacious system. Mattu saw substantial floor time this past season in Calgary. The second-year player averaged 21 minutes per game as the team’s starting point guard.

U17 Air Attack capture bronze at provincials

ichmond Air Attack U17 girls team produced a bronze medal finish at the Provincial Club Volleyball Championships, held at the Olympic Oval. This is a team of very hard working athletes most of whom were new to the Air Attack association this season — coming from various clubs in the Lower Mainland. The team represents many Richmond schools, including Boyd, McMath, McNair, SLSS and McRoberts. They are a developing and dedicated group with amazing team dynamics leading them to a very successful season to date, placing no lower than fourth in any tournament. The provincials proved to be an amazing event as the girls fought hard for their place on the podium. They had a devastating three set semi-final loss to Apex Flex (25-19, 20-25 and 13-15), which dashed their hopes of capturing gold. They refocused and went on to take Seaside in two sets (25-13 and 25-23), proudly securing the bronze. The provincial medal was definitely a team effort and a highlight of the season. Next, they will be heading to Seattle at the end of May for the Emerald City Classic Tournament which attracts competition from across the United States. Coached by John Parnell, with assistance from Mark Soto, the Air Attack’s roster includes: Jayden Parnell, Maya Kuzik, Maria Liaskas, Anika Nicholson, Sydney Dowling, Maarja von Schulmann, Noamie Boucher, Sofia Chang, Roshelle Flores, Camryn McDermott, Sarah Tang and Alina Badyal.
