GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

group of about 60 parents, students and concerned citizens, opposed to the Ministry of Education’s de facto order to close schools in Richmond, staged a vocal protest last week.

The throng gathered outside Hugh Boyd secondary on Thursday evening, as the Richmond School District held its last public open house on facilities.

Kelly Greene, a parent of children attending Diefenbaker elementary, organized the rally.

“We feel it’s disgusting that the provin-

cial government would hold children as bargaining chips in schools that are unsafe in an earthquake, where they could have widespread damage or they could collapse,” said Greene, whose kids’ school is one of 16 that could be on the proverbial chopping block.

The ministry has directed school districts across the province to bring overall capacity up to 95 per cent, in order to be eligible for seismic upgrades. Since Richmond’s capacity is in the mid-80s, its school board is now looking to close up to five schools, thus transferring students from closed schools to nearby, newly aligned catchments.

Greene called the 95 per cent threshold “unreasonable.”

She expressed concerns that schools are now being pitted against one another in a

race to stay open.

“We’re here to show solidarity in the Richmond School District. We’re all in this together and we refuse to be brought into fighting each other to get to the top of the pack,” said Greene.

Parents and students held up posters targeting the closures, as well as impending budget cuts in a district that is experiencing declining enrolment.

One poster was a clear distress call to the government — SOS ‘Save Our Schools,’ read the message.

Another sign reiterated a quote from Premier Christy Clark in 2013: “Absolutely nothing is more important than keeping our children safe.”

Mailman bloodied after dog attack GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

postal worker was viciously mauled by a German shepherd dog on Lucas Road in the Blundell neighbourhood.

The mauling, which occurred around noon last Thursday, was partly witnessed by a resident living next door to the house where the attack happened.

A woman in her senior years, who wished to remain unnamed, told the Richmond News she came outside after hearing a commotion.

On the lawn next to hers was a male postal worker laying down, grasping his leg while on the phone with 9-1-1.

She said the dog had run across the street from its home to attack the mailman, but by the time she came outside it had left him alone. However, the ordeal was not over.

“At that point the dog had gone back.

But then it came up to me and I (stumbled) backwards and he started licking me. I knew I was supposed to stay still. It was scary,” the woman explained.

Neighbours converged on the scene and three police cars attended, along with animal control officers and an ambulance, to take the mailman to the hospital.

The mailman is believed to have suffered multiple bites to the back and legs. The woman said the mailman’s shirt was ripped and he was bleeding profusely.

The City of Richmond confirmed the dog was taken into custody and sent to the Richmond Animal Protection Society.

On Tuesday a colleague of the victim told the News the dog was to be destroyed. The News asked the city for an update, however the city gave no indication that such a decision had been made.

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said

n A ‘‘beware off the dog’ sign adorns the ffront gate off the house where a G German shepherd ran out from, seconds before it attacked an unsuspecting postal worker. Photo by Graeme Wood

the dog does not have a recorded history of violence with the city.

The female witness, and other neighbours the News spoke to on Thursday afternoon, said the dog had been living in a relatively new but vacant home and was walked on oc-

casion by the maid, but only with a muzzle.

The home is gated and has a “Beware of Dog” sign attached to the entrance.

According to the victim’s colleague, the postal worker was given rabies shots in the course of his treatment.

Tablotney: Open house comments may steer closures call From page 1 Another sign read: “School closures = Death for a neighbourhood.”

The last of three “long-range facilities plan” open houses was held after the group had made its point.

Following the protest, a few hun-

dred people flowed in and out of the school lobby trying to decipher information about any of the 16 listed schools that may be chosen to close come September 2017.

“The open houses were well attended and it generated a lot of conversations and questions. I think people understand the dilemma

and complexity of the situation that we’re facing,” said board chair Debbie Tablotney, who noted the comments received at the open houses will help steer the board’s closure decisions this October.

Information provided at the open houses is found online at LetsTalkSD38.ca. District staff told

the Richmond News that some information boards not presently online will be posted to the website soon. Those include information boards that outline scenarios for each school, should it close.

Among concerns being raised by parents of French Immersion students is, for example, understand-

ing where their children will go, should their school close. French classes will be moved together, as a cohort, but parents may have the option of moving their child to a closer catchment, as the boundaries are redrawn. The overall process has been described as a “logistical nightmare” by district staff.

Violent hostage-taker slapped with indefinite jail term Keith Fraser

The Province

A

Richmond man with a history of violence against women, including an incident in which he terrorized his girlfriend and fired a shot, has been designated a dangerous offender and jailed indefinitely.

In December 2013, James Lee Roper, 43, pleaded guilty to a violent hostage-taking incident involving his girlfriend, who can be identified only by the initials B.B. Court heard that Roper met B.B., a prostitute, after reading an ad she had put on the Internet.

Roper, who was unlawfully at large at the time for a prior offence, began using drugs with B.B. While they were together, he committed two bank robberies to fuel his drug habit, with B.B. in the vehicle during one of the robberies.

On the day of the hostage-taking in June 2011, after several days of ingesting drugs, he had a pistol in his possession and his

behaviour was erratic and violent.

When B.B. tried to flee the Richmond apartment, screaming, “Help me,” he dragged her back into the suite, punching her in the head.

A witness reported the incident and police soon arrived on the scene. An RCMP officer knocked loudly on the door, prompting Roper to open fire with his pistol.

Just before firing, he said: “Back off, copper, or you will never get out alive.” A shot narrowly missed the police officer’s ear.

After a standoff of several hours, Roper surrendered to police.

In imposing sentence on Roper on Wednesday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Arne Silverman said he accepted that the accused had threatened to kill himself and that B.B. was terrified he meant to kill her before he took his own life.

The judge said Roper’s anger was largely fuelled by his drug use, especially crystal methamphetamine.

The Crown argued that Roper, who had a lengthy criminal record including several inci-

n James Lee Roper Photo from PNG files

dents of violence against his female partners, had shown a pattern of repetitive and aggres-

sive behaviour.

A psychiatrist’s assessment found that Roper’s pattern of violence seemed to be escalating and that there was a high risk of violent reoffending against either an intimate partner or a stranger.

His lawyer accepted that Roper was dangerous and should be designated a dangerous offender, but argued that there was some hope for him and that he should receive a determinate sentence followed by a longterm supervision order.

The judge agreed there were signs of hope for Roper — including an emotional reconciliation with his mother following 20 years of separation — but decided that an indefinite sentence was mandatory given the circumstances.

“Mr. Roper, I know it’s not going to do much for you, but I wish you good luck,” said the judge after spending most of the day reading his ruling.

B.B., who was present in court, refused to comment.

Accused kidnapping and murder suspect denied bail A

Richmond man accused in a high-profile murder and kidnapping in North Vancouver has been denied bail.

month earlier.

Zhang, who was also charged with kidnapping, applied to be released on bail, but B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen dismissed the application following a hearing this week.

The reasons for the judge declining bail cannot be reported due to a publication ban routinely imposed at bail hearings in Canada.

At bail hearings, the Crown can seek the detention of an accused on one or more of three grounds. Judges consider whether an accused is a flight risk and a risk to re-offend.

They also look at whether the release of the accused

In October, Tian Yi Eddie Zhang, 23, was charged with first-degree murder after the body of a Chinese man was found in North Vancouver a

would bring the justice system into disrepute. The body of Peng Sun, 22, was found after the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team arrived at the 900-block of Wellington Drive in North Vancouver. At the time, neighbours said they believed the dead man was found inside a white Bentley that was towed from the scene along with two other vehicles.

A second man, Casey James Hiscoe, 21, has also been charged with kidnapping but was ordered released on bail. Two others were charged with interfering with a dead body but have had their charges stayed.

tion and workshop space to promote recipes that utilize local ingredients.

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

new farmers market is set to open in Richmond, giving residents a mid-week option to purchase local food and artisan crafts.

The Kwantlen Street Market plans to run every Tuesday evening, starting May 31, at Richmond’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University campus.

Organizers have created a Facebook page, touting a growing list of participating vendors, such as farmers, bakers, butchers, artists and entertainers.

The market was organized by the Kwantlen Students’ Association and should be a mid-week compliment to the bi-weekly Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market on Moncton Street.

The market has announced a few vendors already, such as Rockweld Farm, which will bring in locally-grown eggs and meat, as well as Goerels, which has been promoting its smoked wild sockeye salmon, of late.

While market attendees can stock up on fresh groceries, food trucks will also be on hand.

Organizers are also planning to offer chefs demonstra-

n Locally grown produce, such as these vegetables, will be among the items on sale at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s new street market. Facebook photo

The market is still actively seeking complementary entertainment, such as buskers, musicians, performers and face-painters.

The market opens at 3 p.m. and runs until 7 p.m. in the school’s parking lot on Kwantlen Street.

To entice people to come to the first market, Kwantlen is offering $100 in “market bucks” to a random person who likes and shares the market’s Facebook page, Facebook.com/KwantlenStMkt, by Monday, May 30.

Kwantlen’s Richmond campus is home of the KPU Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems faculty, which will farm about 20 acres of the Garden City Lands for educational purposes, both for the university and the general public.

LETTERSto the Editor Loss of a local icon Dear Editor, I frequented the Mad Greek Restaurant, when it was first a little place on Westminster Highway with an open patio, and enjoyed the delicious authentic Greek cuisine served and prepared by Nick, Rose and their two daughters.

Then I watched them expand to their current location and flourish through the years, the roast lamb and kefthedis being my favourite dish.

It’s sad news that the Mad Greek is closing on June 18 and we shall be at a great loss of good food served by an authentic Greek owner.

I wish Nick and Rose well and thank them for the many years of great cuisine. Yaasas my friends!

We must stick together: School superintendent Dear Editor, The Richmond Board of Education and senior staff would like to thank the parents and the staff of our school district community who attended last week’s Long Range Facilities Plan Open Houses.

Your questions and comments were extremely valuable as they will help us make difficult decisions as we move forward.

People were respectful, insightful and reasonable. We are grateful that you took the time to attend.

We are working right now to get all of the questions and feedback posted on our Let's

Talk website at LetsTalksd38.ca.

We know that this is a difficult issue for everyone. All 16 schools that are being considered for closure offer wonderful experiences for their students and families.

It is important that we work together to ensure that our school district can support our learners today and in the future.

We know that school closure committees continue to represent the feedback and concerns of their families and staff.

We thank the committees for their advocacy and will continue to work with them throughout the process.

We are appreciative of the efforts of the school-based principals and vice-principals, RASA members and stakeholder partners who helped support parents at the open house sessions.

We began this process as a community and it is important that we continue to be a community as we move forward.

We will continue to receive your feedback throughout the next months as we move towards the board’s decision in October 2016.

Sherry Elwood Superintendent of Schools Richmond

It’s going to sting, but just tell us which schools are going to close Dear Editor, After going to the school board’s first consultation night, I came away completely frustrated and disillusioned by this process.

I am deeply disappointed with every level of government including the school board.

The provincial government should be fully funding education.

They should be making neighbourhood schools an important piece of their plan for supporting families.

Families rely on childcare and local schools to keep their family’s economy running and our provincial economy running.

Insert childcare and pre-schools into all schools to boost usage and capacity and give families the supports they need.

The government should be making sure schools are walkable for families for health, social and environmental reasons.

Our MLAs should be at these meetings explaining why our school may have to close due to their government’s outrageous capacity numbers required for seismic upgrades.

John Yap, hello?

I know, I know, I need to give up on him and hope others join me in voting the Liberals out next year.

Second, the municipal government should be making developers invest in the

most important amenity — schools.

Whether it’s to fund upgrades that are needed, or to pay into funds to support neighbourhood schools, developers should pay.

Richmond should also be working to make sure communities stay liveable, walkable and sustainable.

They should be helping to sustain and support schools by working together with the school board to be creative in usage.

Insert mini-community centres in schools or run more night/weekend programs in schools.

They could, most importantly, help financially support local schools by leveraging those amenity dollars with developers.

Mayor and councillors: I would have loved to see you attend these meetings to see how these school closures will affect our most “appealing, liveable city.”

As a family with one car and three kids, we bought our house so we could walk to school.

A liveable city, to me, is walkable. You need to make sure it stays that way.

Last, but not least, this disillusionment I have, comes squarely to rest on our school board.

If they have been working on this for years, as they say they have, they know

which schools they plan to close and they will do so.

This public consultation should have led to more answers than questions.

They should have laid out the plans for which schools they intend to close and their solid reasons why.

There shouldn’t be any more of this sham of a consultation with parents thinking anything they do or say will actually matter.

Leaving students, parents and staff in the lurch over the summer is an unconscionable plan that hurts everyone.

If you are going to do it, which we know you are, pull the BandAid off quickly.

It usually stings less and helps it to heal faster.

But that doesn’t mean that the injury will be forgotten.

LETTERSto the Editor

Urgent tree action needed Open letter to City of Richmond’s mayor and council, Don’t follow the easy route — keep trees in our future.

Yes, it is easy for builders’ to clear-cut trees. No pesky branches to work around.

Yes, it is easy to give builders plans priority over the most magnificent tree in the neighbourhood.

Any trees within the envelope of a new house, with a maximum footprint and minimum setbacks, is fodder for the chainsaw.

Yes, it is easy to continue with a toothless building bylaw and tree bylaw that hamstrings even the best intentioned city staff to save trees. I have heard reference to the “tree protection bylaw.”

Perhaps a more accurate title would be the “tree clear-cut bylaw.”

Yes, it is easy to bend to the strong backroom developer lobby and ignore the voices in the community and your voters.

It’s always easier to do nothing and say nice words. But, is it really easier for our children — and the future of our city?

To live without nature and a diminished experience of bird-life, wildlife and air that we breathe?

Real change is needed now. Cindy Lee has

added to the discussion with the group, Save Richmond Trees. She has called on council to act with seven easy steps: 1. Increase front, backyard setbacks to 30 feet.

2. Plant two significant trees and two shrubs on each new building lot.

3. Return to two-car garages.

4. Replace, not just remove, hazardous trees on the same lot.

5. Eliminate “one tree per year cutting without a permit.”

6. Reduce lot areas covered with paving stones in favour of plant-based materials.

7. Eliminate the unwelcoming large brick fences and gates from residential entrances (as Surrey has done).

More space for nature and trees equals more balanced development.

You have been working on some of these changes for over a year now. Waiting any longer will mean more loss of all trees and nature. Richmond needs to immediately prohibit the removal of trees over 30 cm (1 foot) in diameter while we write a real tree protection bylaw.

Steven Guthrie Richmond

City was wonderous - 70 years ago Dear Editor, On Oct. 6, 1937, the editor of what was then known as the Marpole-Richmond Review published a series of photographic views of Richmond that doubtless made the readers agree they were living in one of the most wonderful places in the world.

The captions to three of the photos are well worth recording for today’s readers:

“Orchard scene, typical of Richmond;” “Richmond is fast becoming a land of trees and flowers;” “‘Be it ever so humble’ — especially is the ballad true if your home happens to be on Lulu Island or Sea Island.”

Captions very different from the ones we read nowadays.

Don’t blame the buses Open letter to City of Richmond mayor and council, Re: “City seeks solution for bus loop fears,” News, May 20.

After reading the Richmond News article of May 20, I am curious as to the role of parked buses at Second Avenue and Chatham had on the accident which occurred at Fourth Avenue and Chatham.

I did not witness the accident, arriving home as the stretcher was brought out to the injured motorcyclist, so I have no idea what happened.

As for the large number of buses parked at the “terminal” at Second and Chatham, the most I have ever seen has been four at peak service times. A similar “terminal” exists mid-block at Denman and Davie in Downtown Vancouver.

I do not feel that the buses pose any more of a visibility problem than a number of SUVs, family vans or trucks parked along Chatham.

Living at the corner of Fourth and Chatham, I can’t keep track of the number of near accidents that I’ve seen at this corner.

On many occasions I have seen drivers turn north on Fourth, only to make an immediate U-turn to head back east on Chatham.

In one instance, the U-turn driver didn’t stop for the stop sign at all, immediately pulling out east on Chatham cutting off a west-bound driver, who was able to screech to a stop, missing the first car, which sped

away.

And how many cars have I seen turn in front of a 407 or 410 bus (“beat the bus”?) to head north on Fourth at this corner?

Crosswalk? Watch out here.

I will not mention those who park near my driveway entrance, severely blocking my visibility. These vehicles prevent me from seeing cars (the buses I can see — they are tall) approaching from the east.

I am unable to see how these behaviours are caused by TransLink buses.

Solution: Install crossing barriers on both sides of Chatham on the east side of Second Avenue. Crossing between the buses can be controlled by in the same manner as it is on No. 3 Road by the Canada Line Station with barriers in the middle of the road.

Dealing only with where the buses terminate will do nothing to prevent what goes on at this intersection.

The results of the investigation into the accident should hopefully provide information as to what happened, as well as what steps could be taken to prevent further mishaps.

As the accident took place two blocks west of the “bus terminal,” I have difficulty understanding how adjusting bus schedules, bus routes or a relocated “terminal” would have prevented this or any other unfortunate event of the same type.

S

ecret Daughter, by Shilpi Somaya Gowda, interweaves the stories of Kavita and Somer, two mothers connected by one daughter.

When Somer, in America, realizes she cannot have a child of her own, she and her husband, Krishnan, decide to adopt.

Kavita, having already lost one daughter in a country that favours boys, decides to save her second daughter’s life by taking her away to an orphanage in Mumbai.

Although she eventually gives birth to a son, which her and her husband, Jasu, are able to keep, her daughter is always on her mind.

Kavita’s story is one of a mother’s choice to do what is best for her daughter, when she has no choice herself.

Leaving her baby, Usha, at the orphanage is a risky trip for Kavita, but is the only way the baby girl can live.

Usha is one of the fortunate babies to be adopted from the orphanage, as Somer and Krishnan take her home to California, naming her Asha.

What follows is the side-by-side tales of each of the women’s lives.

The difficulties Somer faces as a new mother of a daughter who does not resemble her, and of a daughter who challenges her Indian roots, is something Somer feels threatened by, and affects her abilities as Asha’s mother.

Meanwhile, Kavita faces her own chal-

lenges as she and Jasu try to make a living in India.

Moving from the farm, to the slums, to the city, they struggle to support themselves n Kavita’s story is one of a and their mother’s choice to do what is son. best for her daughter, when she This book has no choice herself. is an enjoyable read and does not gloss over the subjects of infanticide and extreme poverty in India; it paints a vivid picture through the characters and their interaction.

This intense description is contrasted

by Gowda’s frustrating portrayal of Somer as dismissive of her husband — and her daughter’s Indian heritage.

It contributes to her tumultuous relationship with her daughter and makes it hard to sympathize with Somer’s troubles.

I recommend this book for anyone who wants a read that tugs at the heart strings, and is a good thought-provoking story.

Chapel’s Italian opera affair

E

xperience a journey through old world beauty, brutality, love, betrayal and death in Opera Opulenza’s Cavalleria Rusticana on Wednesday, June 1.

This concert marks the last of three events in the Minoru Chapel Opera Spring 2016 season.

Composer Pietro Mascagni was just 27 when he wrote the opera in 1889 over an eight-day period. The work broke new ground and ushered in the era of verismo.

The story takes place on Easter morning in a Sicilian village where Santuzza is looking for her lover, Turridu, who betrayed her with his former fiancée, Lola, now married to the wealthy Alfio.

Angered and feeling betrayed, Santuzza tells the cuckolded husband about the affair, which leads to a duel between Turridu and Alfio.

The Minoru Chapel Opera series is performed at 6540 Gilbert Rd. (beside Gateway

Theatre).

Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance by calling 604-276-4300 (quote course #1362308 for 2 p.m. show, #1362358 for 7 p.m. show). Admission is $20 for adults and $18 for students/seniors. Doors open 30 minutes prior to show time.

Opera Opulenza was founded in 2014 by artistic director Trudy Chalmers.

Since then, performances have spanned the worlds of chanson, opera, lieder and sacred music.

The company inspires and educates the community — singers, musicians and audiences — with both classic and lesser-known works.

Minoru Chapel Opera is presented by the City of Richmond and sponsored by the Richmond News.

Young caps 25 years with scholarship Green businesses to be celebrated

B

usiness leaders and familiar Richmond faces gathered on April 27 to bid a fond farewell to Carol Young, manager of events at the Richmond Chamber, during a party at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel. April 30 marked Young’s last day of official work at the chamber after 25 years of dedication and achievement.

She began her career at the front desk, but didn’t stay there for long, managing to hold nearly every staff position at the chamber (except accounting) in her time, including a skillful, sixmonth stint as acting executive director in 2015.

To properly celebrate her achievements and honour her

legacy, Matt Pitcairn, president and CEO of the chamber, announced that the long-standing Chamber Scholarship program will be reinvented in 2017 as the “Carol Young Scholarship” and will be bestowed on a Richmond secondary school student who has achieved their goals through the endeavors of hard work, conquered adversity and has worked to become an outstanding member of the community.

Young will continue to be involved with the chamber for the remainder of 2016, finishing the work on events she spearheaded over the past years, including the Business Excellence Awards, Golf Tournament, Summer BBQ and Christmas Luncheon.

Our clients acquired a large 8,000 sq. foot home with an incredible panoramic view off the back patio. The downside was, once you turned around and went back inside, you were looking at walls instead of sunrises and sunsets.

The homeowners knew they wanted to renovate their home, but found it hard to visualize the changes. “To open up their mind to the possibilities we encouraged our client to allow us to remove some drywall from the North/South dividing

walls,” said GVHB Board Director Mark Cooper, President of Shakespeare Homes and Renovations Inc. “And it worked,” said Mark enthusiastically.

“They literally became more and more excited as the drywall came off,” Opening two walls provided panoramic views to virtually the entire main floor of the home - and the challenge ahead.

“Although we had removed the drywall, long structural walls remained.” The Shakespeare Homes team called

in their engineering and creative design partners. After collaborative consultations, literally several tons of massive moment-frame-steel beams on new footings were installed and the home now has a clear span with an open floorplan and bonus improved seismic stability.

Custom fireplaces, 27-feet of doubleglazed Eclipse-folding-glass doors, automated blinds and a TV system that comes right out of the floor are just continued on page 16

A VIEW TO RELOCATE: Drawn by the views, the young family purchased a lot with the intent to build a home to match their lifestyle. Designed and built by G.D. Nielsen Developments, President and Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association member Greg Nielsen said, “this is the second home we have built for this family. We have a great working relationship. Our clients wanted a home with a contemporary feel and an open plan. They wanted the home to have easy access to outdoor play and social spaces.”

Featuring five bedrooms with seven and a half bathrooms, this home will easily accommodate a large family with plenty of room for grandparents and nanny.

“The property’s outlook was extremely important so all the primary rooms have access to the view, even the rec room in the basement,” Nielsen commented. The main floor and much of the basement was designed with an open floor plan. Covered outdoor living spaces are level with the main floor, next to the pool and off the family room and nearby kitchens. The formal kitchen can always remain pristine while the secondary kitchen does all the hard and dirty work. The kitchen is accessed by a door, cleverly hidden into the kitchen paneling.

Spacious outdoor living areas with infinity pool feature architectural concrete walls, full thickness basalt cladding, smooth stucco, clear grain cedar siding and soffits, continuous metal fascia, frameless glass guardrails, expansive metal clad wood windows, with muted colour tones, blend seamlessly into the surrounds.

The rear yard was terraced to maximize the usable space.

The tiered structure subtly creates terraces on the main floor and off the master bedroom. The front of the house is also tiered to subtly blend in with the slope of the property, while also creating outdoor living spaces at the front of the property. A gated entry adds to the estate like feel of the property.

Forget the high-calorie ice cream cake for your next party, says Bonnie Ng at Qoola in Richmond Centre, which has cakes made from creamy, sweet yogurt that is low in sugar and packed full of healthy probiotics.

Qoola, a guilt-free treat

Summer the perfect time for a cool and healthy dessert

S

ummer is right around the corner and that’s just one more reason to visit Qoola Yogurt’s location at Richmond Centre.

That’s where you can get a cool, delicious treat to not only beat the heat but have something that’s good for you, too.

Yes, Qoola Yogurt is a healthy alternative to some other high-calorie, high-sugar foods.

Sweetened with natural cane sugar and packed full of probiotics, Qoola yogurt is the perfect way to reward yourself and not feel any guilt.

Made fresh from locally sourced dairy products, Qoola’s self-serve system

allows you to enjoy mixing your favourite fruits on top of a smooth, chilly swirl of yogurt.

Try a taste of tart and sweet kiwi fruit, sun-kissed mangoes, oxidant-packed blueberries and strawberries. Or go for some slivered almonds for that toasted, nutty flavour with its boost of protein.

It’s all part of the Qoola experience that has zero grams of fat and just 97 calories and 17 grams of sugar in the 91 gram yogurt serving size.

That’s right, it’s under 100 calories and you can feel your temperature start to drop and a smile appear on your face.

Plus, if you’re looking for one of the best ways of getting

healthy antioxidants into your diet, try the acai gojiberry organic yogurt.

Acai is an indigenous berry commonly found in the rain forests of the Amazon. It has been heralded for centuries for as a healing, immune-stimulating, energy-boosting fruit.

And with just 140 calories and 26 grams of sugar per yogurt serving, it’s still under what you’d consume in an average soft drink can.

In fact, look down the list of frozen yogurts on the menu at Qoola and you will find some other surprises, such as the mango tango sorbet which has a mere 80 calories and just 15 See Sandwiches page 19

Sandwiches and smoothies on the menu From page 18 grams of sugar — just a shade under four teaspoons for those who need to watch the numbers closely.

The no-sugar-added strawberry banana is even more remarkable, since it also comes in at 80 calories and a truly amazing six grams of sugar.

Then, if that isn’t enough, yogurt is loaded with calcium, which helps maintain bone strength.

Try getting those kind of numbers and health benefits in another creamy dessert treat.

You can even get those health benefits in a yogurt smoothie chock full of blueberries which are said to help with eyesight and raspberries that are good for your kidneys.

But Qoola is not just frozen yogurt.

There are plenty of other items on the menu at the Richmond Centre location. Come in for lunch or dinner and get acquainted with the sandwich menu that caters to gluten-free and vegetarian diets.

You can even ask to hold the mayo and get a dollop of yogurt on your sandwich instead.

Why? Mayonnaise, even the light variety, has three times the calories of yogurt and 11 times more fat.

That’s the reason Qoola doesn’t even stock mayo on the menu. Creamy yogurt has a delightful, tangy taste that fits in well with the sandwiches and wraps and contains a mere 10 calories and 0.2 grams of fat per tablespoon.

Try it on the popular turkey mango, chicken pesto or quinoa and roasted veggie wrap.

It’s pretty clear Qoola is right for so many reasons.

And if that reason is to throw a party and you need a cake that

everyone will be clamouring for on that warm summer day, forget the high calorie ice cream cake and try one made from frozen yogurt.

It’s available at Qoola in a variety of versions with one of the most popular being the Hello Kitty cake, especially for birthdays.

Qoola at Richmond Centre — the perfect place for that special treat that is good for you in so many ways.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores Richmond teams in Abbotsford for rugby provincials

or the first time in recent memory the McRoberts Strikers will have some familiar company when the B.C. Secondary Schools Rugby Championships start Wednesday in Abbotsford.

The Strikers will be making their annual appearance in the showcase tournament and have typically been one of the top “AA” programs in the province.

However, in recent years, there has been a parity gap created with the dominance of such schools as Rockridge, Collingwood, Brentwood and St. Michael’s.

Recognizing the importance of the sport moving forward, the B.C. Secondary Schools Rugby Union will be introducing tiers for the first time at the championships for both the “AA” and “AAA” levels.

The Strikers will be competing in the eight-team “AA” tier two division where they have been seeded fourth.

They will be joined by the McMath Wildcats who have earned the No. 7 seed.

McRoberts opens up play Wednesday morning against No. 5 Southridge, while the Wildcats will take on No. 2 Robert Bateman.

The Strikers won the Lower Mainland top seed with a 19-8 victory over No. 6 Tupper.

The Wildcats secured their B.C. berth with a 24-0 win over Seycove.

The Richmond rivals met once this season with McRoberts producing a 15-3 win back on March 31.

The championships continue Thursday and Saturday.

Wildcats enjoy perfect run to capture city and zone titles T

he McMath Wildcats have steamrolled their way to next week’s B.C. AAA Girls Soccer Championships in Tsawwassen, having not lost a game yet in league and playoff action.

The Wildcats went 7-0-0 in Richmond League play, then earned the city’s No. 1 seed for the “AAA” tier by outscoring their opponents 19-0 in a pair of playoff games.

It was then off to the Vancouver/Richmond zone championships where the dominance continued.

McMath blanked Van Tech 3-0 in the semi-finals, then defeated No. 2 ranked Kitsilano by the same score. It all adds up to being one of the teams to beat when the provincial championships get underway next Thursday.

The Wildcats impressive run of late moved them from an honourable mention to No. 5 in the latest AAA rankings.

The team is led by an outstanding group of Grade 12 multi-sport athletes who excel

in other sports as well. Montana Leonard (University of Calgary), Clare Reynolds (UVic), Claire Siqueira (Laurier), Ellie Reid (Laurier) and Hannah Partridge (Langara) have all earned soccer scholarships to their

respective schools.

The seniors also include basketball standouts Jessica Jones and Jessica Zawada who will be continuing their hoop careers at Simon Fraser and the University of the

Fraser Valley respectively.

Partidge and Zawada have been members of McMath’s city champion volleyball, basketball and soccer teams dating all the way back to Grade 8.

The 2016 soccer team also features: Ali Burns Carmen Milne, Claire Reynolds, Dakota Chan, Elizabeth Kibblewhite, Emma James, Georgia Booker, Alyssaa Bhandal, Jalen Donaldson, Kristen Wilshire, Lauren Dickson, Madison Elcombe, Morgan Flynn, Samantha Trueman, Samantha Narduzzi and Alison Carver.

The Wildcats are coached by Stephen Burns and Paul Pedersen.

Burns is once again seeing “double-duty” this season by guiding the team at South Delta Secondary where he has been a longtime teacher. He has coached the Sun Devils to a record 15th straight provincial tournaments. His workload will be even more hectic with South Delta hosting the provincials too.

TEE IT UP

Mayfair Lakes junior thrives on Kamloops course

I

t was an impressive wire-to-wire victory for Mayfair Lakes junior Mary Parsons at Golf Canada’s 2016 CN Future Links Pacific Championship in Kamloops.

Parsons opened the 54-hole event with a superb 6-under 66 at the Dunes Golf Club and never looked back — cruising to a four shot victory over Ontario’s Chole Currie. She also fired a 69 in round two and closed out the championship with a 1-under 71.

When asked about her play throughout the tournament, the 16-year-old credited her preparedness for the victory.

“I felt I played pretty well. I stuck to my game plan and didn’t try to change anything out on the course,” she said.

“I really wanted to start the (Golf Canada) season off strong because I’ve had a bunch of top-five finishes in the season openers. I really wanted to make this one count because I want to make Team Canada this year. I just played my game and I just wanted to have a good showing this week.”

Entering the final round, Parsons held a six-shot advantage over Currie, a member of the Team Canada Development Squad.

She finished with four birdies on the day to hold off Currie, who was unable to catch the leader despite a seven-birdie 3-under 69. Fellow national team member and Ontario native Grace St-Germain surged up the leaderboard with a bogey-free 5-under performance to finish tied for third alongside Sumie Francois of Burnaby and Amanda Minni of Delta.

All competitors within the top six have earned exemptions into the 2016 Canadian Junior Girls Championship — slated for August 2-5 at The Links at Penn Hills in Shubenacadie, N.S. Joining Parsons in playing their way into the national amateur championship were Currie, St-Germain, Francois, Minni and Courtenay’s Abigail

POLITESKI, Hector E. June 4, 1924 − May 17, 2016

Hector grew up on a small farm with an incredibly loving family near Lake Lenore, Saskatchewan. He regaled generations of "city kids" with stories of milking cows and riding horses into town to get to school. He moved to Vancouver in the 1940’s and eventually started and ran Dogwood Florists, where his hard work and creativity touched the lives of thousands for many decades.

Upon his "retirement" he started a new career of taking bus tours up to the Yukon and Alaska. For over 40 years, his "Seafair" home on the Western edge of Richmond greeted endless guests − family and friends alike − with unparalleled warmth and hospitality. Every visitor − from all over Canada, America, Mexico, Japan, and elsewhere − enjoyed great conversations, delicious homemade meals, unparalleled sunsets, and a never−ending sense of welcome. Hector touched the lives of so many with countless acts of kindness and compassion.

He will be dearly missed.
