Parents challenge closures

NO WAITLIST !
here were tears, jeers, pleas and applause at Monday night’s standing room-only school board meeting, as parents challenged trustees on a report that recommends closing three elementary schools: Dixon, Woodward and McKay. At one point, Debbie Tablotney, chair of the board of education, said she had to gain control of the gallery as the boos and back talk were interfering with the recording of the meeting. Parents from Dixon elementary filled many of the seats as that school is the biggest and
perhaps most complicated of the three to close, as is recommended by superintendent Sherry Elwood, following a yearlong public consultation process and assessment of facilities by district staff. “In most of Richmond, declining neighbourhood enrolment has resulted in under-utilization of school capacity,” stated the district, as to its reasoning for the closures which, if approved by trustees, will take effect July 1, 2017. “In some schools, student populations are so small the school district cannot offer the optimal range of programs. Trustees need to make a decision on which schools to close to
ensure facilities are used in an effective and fiscally responsible way,” What frustrated many of the parents at the meeting was the fact Dixon is already over capacity, and the report recommends sending many of the students to Diefenbaker elementary, which is also at capacity. “Why us?” was a common refrain. The answer, in part, is because the earlier public consultation processes found parents were particularly concerned about having schools within a 15-minute walk of their homes. And because there are a number of other elementary schools in the area, students living within the Dixon catch-
ment would still be within that 15-minute “walkshed” if Dixon was closed. The catch, however, is that Dixon has a French immersion program and many of those students (slightly less than 50 percent) are out of catchment. It’s the notion that those students are portable because many of them are not in the walkshed, that angers some. Dixon should not be penalized because it is a school of choice, argued Stephanie Dunn, adding that parents chose the school not just because of French immersion, but because it’s a unique community.

Bowling 'pals' still striking each other The Zone has closed, but so-called buddies group keeps rolling ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter
ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
T
rading verbal blows, exchanging “pleasantries” and generally communicating via insult, to a casual observer, you’d be hard pushed to believe this group of guys was actually friends. And with the few (OK, more than a few) F-bombs that were being dropped — there was more colour in their language than a rainbow — it was difficult to comprehend that these four retired gents were part of a 30-strong battalion of 10-pin bowlers who even remotely liked each other enough to acknowledge one another’s presence, let alone meet every Tuesday for the last 19 years at The Zone at Riverport. That is, however, what they did do; once a week for a couple of hours, as well as getting together on four of the other days at Richmond Centre’s food court for a coffee and “discussion” on how to save the world. After learning that The Zone had been locked out by its landlord for unpaid rent, thus shuttering Richmond’s only 10-pin facility, four of the group’s “members,” all in their 70s, met with the Richmond News to lament the loss of their Tuesday session. Perched on the high stools near the top of the escalator into Richmond Centre’s food court, the guys, bearing an uncanny resemblance to The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, were already in full banter mode when the News arrived. “But it’s not really about the bowling; it’s more about the social aspect; we’re actually shitty at bowling, especially Wayne,” said one of the group’s founders, Roy Stevenson, while bracing for the inevitable retort from his “friend” Wayne Milne. Deflecting attention away from said bowling skills, Milne made poetic reference to lack of coffee in the cup given to him a moment ago by Stevenson. “We have lots and lots of laughs, the camaraderie is great,” added Stevenson. “We only ever had to ask one person to leave in all
n From left, Wayne Milne, Peter Demchuck, Roy Stevenson and Cam Varcoe, are members of a 30-strong 10-pin bowling group, which has met each Tuesday for the last 23 years, but is now forced to find their fun elsewhere. Photo by Alan Campbell/Richmond News
those years; he was kicking things around, but he was shitty at bowling, as well.” It all started, according to Stevenson, at an alley called Top Gun 23 years ago, which used to be where Aberdeen Centre now sits. They were originally a group of Tuesday golfers out at Quilchena in west Richmond, which evolved (devolved) into 10-pin bowling, reportedly due to some of the golfing group’s lack of golfing acumen. “We started bowling because some of us couldn’t golf; we were shitty at that, too,” said Stevenson. Four years later after forming their Tuesday bowling session, they had moved to The Zone and went there every week for 19 years, except when the Tuesday fell on Christmas Day. “We walked up to the door (two weeks ago) and there
were locks on it. It was closed. Our balls, shoes, everything, was all inside,” said group member Cam Varcoe. “So, we called a place at Fraser and Marine (in Vancouver) and they accepted us straight away, so we’re very grateful to them. “It was pretty nice at The Zone, but it was very quiet; we always wondered how it survived.” Stevenson said he could “kind of see it going down; that’s the way it goes, I guess.” The News reported last week how The Zone Bowling and its sub-tenant, Big River Brew Pub, also known as Be Right Back Brew Pub, in the Riverport Sports and Entertainment Complex closed over The Zone owing $55,000 in unpaid rent to its landlord. The Zone, owned by a numbered company, has initiated bankruptcy proceedings after failing to pay its rent.
Vandalism: The sign of an unhappy cyclist Alan Campbell
Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com
I
t appears someone doesn’t like the idea of having to get off their bike while negotiating the eastern most section of Steveston boardwalk. Last Thursday, a City of Richmond clean-up crew spent the best part of the day removing whitewash from several signs that call for cyclists to dismount while using
the boardwalk. A local resident, who only wanted to be identified as Randy, said he spotted at least three signs that had been blanked about by what appeared to be white paint. He said the signs — from the parking lot at Britannia Heritage Shipyards all the way to the bridge at Pheonix Pond — were targeted. “This is dangerous and it’s pure vandalism,” he added. “The signs are there, not just to stop (pedestrians and cyclists
colliding), but also because cyclists get their bike’s tires stuck in the grooves on the boardwalk. “I walk along there every day and, if there is an issue with cyclists, it’s usually on the bridge (at the pond).” City spokesperson Ted Townsend confirmed that three “please dismount signs” appeared to have been whitewashed by “persons unknown.” “City crews power-washed off the covering paint to return them to normal.”

The report offers the board two options for Dixon’s closure. The first option sees Dixon’s English-track students go to underutilized Gilmore elementary and its French students go to Diefenbaker elementary (creating an early and late French immersion program there). In this scenario, about half of the English students will have a long walk to school. Diefenbaker would also require four portables, according to the report, as its population would balloon to an estimated 572 students. The second option sees Dixon students split up, with those in the northern catchment going to Gilmore and those in the southern catchment going to underutilized Steves elementary. Additionally, Gilmore would take on some French students, meaning only one “short term” portable would be needed at Diefenbaker. The English students would have an easier walk to school, as well. One thing that upsets parent Stacy Takeno, about either scenario, is that it would require her children to move to a school that is even more seismically challenged than Dixon. “Just because we’re out of catchment, it doesn’t mean we don’t matter,” she added. It wasn’t just Dixon families making pleas to the board. A mother of four, her oldest a Grade 1 student at McKay, said the trek to Grauer elementary, which the report says has space to accommodate McKay students, is just too much with all her children, the youngest an infant. The estimated 120 Woodward students would also be looking at a longer walk if their school closes as they are expected to merge with Kidd elementary, whose population will increase to about 280. The report states the students will still be within the recommended 15-minute walk to school, although parents have expressed concerns about crossing railway tracks and busy Shell Road. Woodward requires an estimated $12.7 million in seismic upgrades, is the most below capacity, along with Grauer elementary (55 per cent), and has the highest operating costs per student. A McKay parent asked the board to at least add a couple of other schools to the list. If there are only three schools to vote on — and with closing those it only takes the
district to 91 per cent capacity — it seemed inevitable all three would be closed, he said. However, trustees were at pains to say that these were just recommendations and that no decision has been made. Moreover, trustee Donna Sargent said the 95 per cent threshold is a “red herring,” and people shouldn’t focus on that. The real issue is running the district efficiently so there is more money for programs. She added that she’s been a trustee for 14 years and has consistently been forced to make cuts. The objective of this process is to ensure programs remain secure. Community activist Henry Yao recognized the difficult position trustees are in but asked if it wasn’t time they stopped cutting and started fighting back. “Tell the provincial government, ‘enough is enough.’ We’re not here looking for people to follow a line. We’re looking for people to step out of line and show leadership.” Dixon parent Amie Nowak also questioned whether the trustees had done enough to counter the province’s demand. She also asked what kinds of assurances they have from the province that it will provide the funding for seismic upgrades if the schools are closed. The Ministry of Education has stated the district must provide a “business case” for a school to receive much-needed seismic upgrades. According to the district the Ministry has stated a 95 per cent “utilization threshold” is the “guideline” for districts to qualify. Tablotney said she has her “fingers crossed” to see if the Ministry accepts the fact the three closures only bring Richmond’s utilization threshold from 85 to 91 per cent. And if it doesn’t? “Then we would be back to finding something else. I don’t even want to think of that scenario,” said Tablotney, noting the recommendations must still be finalized with a vote at the Oct. 17 board meeting. Until then, trustees will set up closure committees to evaluate the report and the process. A meeting with Dixon parents will be held at the school Sept. 27. By closing the three schools, the district will save $750,000 in annual operating costs. Superintendent Elwood said once this process is completed, the board will need to look at possible closures of secondary schools and Sea Island elementary.

Claim: Fake assets for house Joanne Lee-Young Vancouver Sun
T
he prospective buyers of a $2.46 million Richmond home put down a $120,000 deposit. When they were turned down at three major national banks for financing to complete the deal, an employee at RBC Royal Bank of Canada and a real estate agent at Richmond-based Metro Edge Realty advised them to exaggerate and/or fake assets in China in order to qualify for a mortgage here, according to a notice of civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court. None of the allegations in the claim have been proven in court. Yan Zhao and Wei Na Hao, who currently live in Richmond and are originally from China, claim in court filings that they were told to persuade “family and friends in China to lend their (Chinese-language deposit slips)” and then to doctor them to look as if they were the ones with these Chinese assets. The court documents state they were told “RBC would provide mortgage financing”
if the couple did a good job of forging the certificates of deposit. In the end, the buyers did not apply for mortgage financing from RBC, according to court documents, but when the deal fell through they were unable to get back their deposit because the offer was subject-free. The pair launched the civil suit on June 15, 2016, for their deposit, plus legal costs. In a response to that claim, Metro Edge denied “each and every allegation” and specifically “denied that any representations were made on its behalf as alleged”. The sellers of the home, named in the original claim as “the Chopras,” also filed a counterclaim, declaring the deposit as being “forfeitable” because the buyers didn’t complete the contract. They also filed a counterclaim against Metro Edge and, “more specifically Ms Yang.” If her “representations were not made fraudulently or recklessly” then they were made “negligently.” The claim states Metro Edge realtor Wendy Yang wrote the offer for the property on behalf of the buyers. It also states a “Mr. Sun
at Royal Bank of Canada” presented the buyers “with an example of a certificate of deposit that (he) indicated had been forged in the manner (he) described.” It states the buyers told Yang they had no other assets in Canada or elsewhere with which to buy the house. It claims Yang directed them to Sun to discuss mortgage funding, and that Sun and Yang are married. The buyers were told, in detail by Yang, according to the court claim, they could “download forms from the internet to fake proof of assets in China” and offered a “template for the forgery.” Reached by telephone, Yang declined to comment. The plaintiffs, Zhao and Hao, were also not available for comment, according to their lawyer. Postmedia News contacted RBC ‘s Toronto-based office on Thursday afternoon, but did not get a reply by deadline. In April 2016, the home named in the claim at 10191 Thirlmere Drive in Richmond was sold to a different buyer, Yu Lan Zhao. More on this story at VancouverSun.com.

n tears, a then five-yearold Sharon Taylor sat by the side of the ice rink in Pickering, Ontario, trying to understand why her mother wanted her to lace up her skates and glide across the glossy, slick surface with the power, control and grace of a figure skater. Years later, that initial reluctance transformed into a life of being active for Taylor, who this past Sept. 10 was a recipient of the Program Manager/Director of the Year award from the British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA). Taylor, the fitness coordinator at South Arm Community Centre for the past eight and a half years, said she was thankful for her mother’s insistence that eventually led to an interest in weight training and a part time job at the local YMCA while finishing up her degree at Montreal’s Concordia University. “I was a skinny Minnie Miller and you could just flick me over with a finger, so I got into strength training to help myself be stronger on the ice, and it gave me a little more toning,” Miller said. After university, Taylor became a teacher and provided her own insight into fitness for students, mostly young girls, who found

themselves outside the attraction of team sports. “I was never one for organized team sports, even as a student in high school,” she said. “So, moving into weight training and group fitness was a perfect outlet for me because it was individual, but you still had the camaraderie of other people. “And as a school teacher, I wanted to share my knowledge in fitness with school
kids. Later, that moved into working with adults and I just loved it.” Taylor became a personal trainer and ran her own business in the Mission/Maple Ridge area before coming to Richmond where she was instrumental in starting numerous group fitness programs, such as step classes and step training.

From page 6 She’s also been keen to make South Arm Community Centre the place to go for dance-based fitness classes, such as Zumba, which the centre was the first in Richmond to offer. “We also had a cardio salsa class, and this winter we are bringing in BollyX, a new dance fitness class,” Taylor said, adding it’s a program that is inspired by the Bollywood film industry in India. “I really like to be on the edge of bringing in new trends.” And that caters well to the sizable dance fitness clientele that has built up over the years at South Arm. “We have more than 35 classes per week and I have been able to keep those going at full capacity. That’s a big draw for people and the centre,” she said. In addition to keeping things running at a high clip, Taylor has organized several charitable programs through the community centre. “I first introduced Fit for Heart, which was an annual fundraiser for the heart and stroke foundation,” she said. “We have also done some work for the Richmond homeless with our Salsa for Socks program where people would bring new socks in and donate them during the winter time.” Another long-running charitable program has visitors to the centre drop off used running shoes, which go to the homeless locally.

A new program started earlier this year is Drop In Drop Off, where, during one week, visitors to the community centre brought in warm clothing in return for a free fitness class that was new to South Arm. “That was a great way to help the homeless community and get people interested in what new programs we had,” Taylor said. Charitable work aside, Taylor said she is extremely proud of her efforts in getting people to adopt active lifestyles who previously never thought about regular exercise. Called Start Me Up, her program focuses on small group training classes for those who, in some cases, have been advised by their doctor to get moving to help improve their health. “There’s a lot of people out there who have never been in a fitness centre,” Taylor
said “So, “So this program said. accommodates them and provides a setting where they can get that one-on-one relationship with a fitness trainer at a reduced rate.” And since the classes are small – up to four people – it also helps develop social relations which encourages participants to attend on a regular basis. “It’s one of our unique programs,” she said. “And the really important thing for us (trainers) here is to figure out ways to get people somewhat motivated to get fit.” While that can mean a tough sell for some, Taylor said that the successes achieved along the way make it all worthwhile for her. “That’s the wonderful thing about my job, finding the right program for someone and encouraging them along,” she said.

Potenital Dixon decision defies logic Dear Editor, I am writing to express my disgust, outrage and confusion over Dixon elementary being on the school closure list for Richmond. First of all, Dixon is one community, regardless of English or French. To rip this school into multiple schools defies logic. A school that is at capacity being shut down and students sent in all directions? Explain to me how this fosters a sense of community. Richmond, as a city, is already on the verge of losing its sense of community and this
furthers it more. Secondly, to expect Dixon students to go to either Diefenbaker, which does not have the amenities for the students it currently has and also requires installation of costly portables, or Gilmore, which is proven to be seismically unsafe, is shocking and rageinducing. Thirdly, to treat French immersion kids as “portable” is disgusting. No, the parents of French kids will not drive their kids to wherever the French is.
We want our children to learn in their neighborhoods, have the ability to walk to and from school and continue to foster a sense of community, in their community. As a loyal parent of two Dixon students and a part of a proud and strong group of Dixon parents, I can tell you that we will not accept this quietly. Expect to hear from many, many more of us in the coming weeks. Heather Pogor Richmond
We’ll be torn apart Bridge trumps our kids Open letter to the Richmond School Board of Trustees, How did Dixon elementary end up on the list of recommended schools for closure? Dixon is one of the very few schools in Richmond that is actually at or over its capacity. Dixon is also one of the top 10 schools in number of attending students. Dixon is in better shape than the school that you are proposing to send our students to. Are you really proposing to move 374 students from one of the largest, fullest schools in Richmond that does not need as extensive upgrades as the other schools? Dixon is a very good school with a great community that would come to an end, only because other schools are below capacity and need to be filled up with Dixon kids. The proposal that Dixon students should be torn apart and split into two or three schools is unacceptable. Also, Diefenbaker school is not within a 15-minute walk as per one of the original criteria. Other criteria for a school closure was availability in a nearby
school. That is clearly not the case with Dixon since Diefenbaker does not have enough capacity to absorb more than 200 French students from Dixon. A large number of families with kids in the French immersion program at Dixon live in the Dixon catchment. They either moved to the neighborhood due to the great program Dixon is offering or they chose French immersion since they lived in the catchment. As a working parent, I would have never chosen the French immersion program if my kid would have to be driven to another school. I need the convenience of her being able to walk to school by herself. She will be in Grade 6 next year and there is no way she could walk to Diefenbaker. It is more than 1.6 km away and involves more than 20 minutes of walking, crossing both busy No. 1 Road and Williams. Closing Dixon is not an option for us and should not be for any of you. Radka Herle Dixon elementary parent
Dear Editor, Re: “Bridge to bring safety, prosperity,” Guest shot, Sept. 14. John Yap’s argument for the George Massey Tunnel Replacement project is that it will bring safety and prosperity by providing a variety of contruction jobs, as well as eliminating the seismically vulnerable tunnel. My question is, wouldn’t seismically upgrading schools in the Lower Mainland also provide construction jobs, as well as making where children spend a quarter of their day actually safe? For the BC Liberals, it appears commuter safety trumps children’s safety. I am also confused by his assertion that the bridge will “alleviate the biggest bottleneck in British Columbia.” My understanding is that many mayors of communities affected by this tunnel have made their concerns known that, in actual fact, the bottleneck will simply happen farther north along the highway. I think any commuter along this corridor would tell you the same thing. Will the BC Liberals be replacing the Oak Street Bridge next? Likely not, as large freighters are not needed along the north arm of the
Fraser. Our provincial government needs to stop saying one thing and then doing the other. They need to stop treating us like we can be fooled by this “jobs and efficiency” rhetoric. They hold consultations, and ignore people’s concerns. They establish committees of experts, and ignore their advice. They move forward on outdated, unnecessary, irreversibly damaging projects for which they are sued, but continue anyway in the hopes of getting so far ahead it would be more expensive to quit, even if they are found to be in the wrong. For them, it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. But they never do ask for forgiveness. And we, as British Columbians, need to hold them accountable. Accountable for child poverty in this province and for chronic underfunding of a host of social programs, including education. The BC Liberal government cares not for the people of this province and they care not about making hard decisions. They care only about being re-elected. Amy Brooks Richmond

LETTERSto the Editor
Church group puts politicians to shame Dear Editor, Re: “Social service agencies send S.O.S.,” News, Sept. 16. Where is the leadership? The measure of a society is how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. You can’t be more vulnerable than people like Michael Novacluse who has no job, no home or shelter — due to the scarcity of affordable rentals — and no hope. Canada is one of the wealthiest nations and Richmond seems to be as affluent as any community. When you look at the excessive development, the push to demolish family homes and replace them with monster homes and luxury condominiums, the parade of expensive cars choking our crowded streets. It’s hard to believe that, in this city of riches, homelessness grows. And our leaders in all levels of government — federal, provincial and municipal — are proving they possess few leadership skills or the will to solve the problem. I am a councillor and warden at St. Alban Anglican Church and — unlike our mayor and council, our MLAs, and our MPs — our aging and shrinking congregation has initiated measures that are trying to improve the lot of our most vulnerable citizens. More than a decade ago, St. Alban founded the community meal, where almost 200 people get a hot, delicious meal for free
every Tuesday. Hugh Freiberg, who is mentioned in Friday’s article, takes meals after the dinner and delivers them to the homeless who are unable to attend. Dianne Woodhouse, also featured in the article, established the St. Alban daytime drop-in centre for those who need to have some warm, dry shelter, coffee, hot lunch and access to counsellors. We also have the only extreme weather shelter, where women and children and men can find warmth, companionship and a hot breakfast during cold, wet and snowy weather. Furthermore, St. Alban operates a Saturday morning shower program for those who need a shower, clean clothes and a hot breakfast. Here’s a challenge to Mayor Malcolm Brodie and Richmond council, MPs Alice Wong and Joe Peschisolido, and MLAs John Yap, Teresa Wat, and Linda Reid: It’s time you show some real leadership in this crisis. After all, that is why you have been elected, some of you for more than a decade, while this problem of poverty has festered. Don’t let St. Alban’s dwindling and aging congregation put you to shame. Do the honourable thing and show us you are worthy of being called honourable! Eric Hanson Richmond
Not fooling anyone Dear Editor, Re: “Fire lit under LGBTQ issue,” News, Sept. 16. It was interesting reading all the reasons Dr. Eric Yung, school trustee, gave for not implementing specific references to sexual orientation in its code of conduct. It would be humorous if it wasn’t so tragic for LGBTQ students. Unlike most school boards in B.C., especially the Lower Mainland, who were proactive and saw the need for extra protection for their most vulnerable students, and most importantly had the will to make changes, Richmond School Board has continually allowed their ideology to delay and deny the protection that was obviously needed. Even when teachers and students decided that something had to be done and started making classrooms special places with rainbow signs for LGBTQ students, the school board still refused to move. What a disgrace it is for Richmond that this school board’s homophobia is so entrenched that it was prepared to allow vulnerable students to continue to suffer by claiming that nobody had approached them to make any changes with regards to the code of conduct. Yung claims it is “about time” that the B.C. government is calling for these changes, and admits that “we have to be compliant by the end of the year.” Hardly a ringing endorsement from a school board that should be in the vanguard of proactive change.

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com
ith the 41st B.C. general election scheduled for May 9 of next year, provincial politics is beginning to heat up in Richmond. Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap is taking Twitter selfies whilst knocking on doors, Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat has announced her intentions to run again, and the Richmond BC NDP constituency associations met Tuesday evening to approve their new executive officers, and, in turn, name their respective candidates. In a city dominated by the BC Liberal party, few questions remain for the lead up to the election, save for the intentions of long time Richmond East MLA Linda Reid and each party’s choice for a fourth, new riding. Next year, Richmond Centre will split into north and south ridings, while Richmond East sheds some parts of the city to absorb New Westminster’s Queensborough neighbourhood to become Richmond-Queensborough.

City Scene A sharing economy – it’s not a simple question of good or bad By Chak Au Councillor Over the summer, I read several books on the sharing economy, and the key message I got out of my reading is, “The sharing economy is already here and it will be the trend.” In what is called the “sharing economy”, people share with one another the resources they are not currently using, such as a car, house, bike, tool, service or skill, often at a cost lower than conventional retail or employment arrangements. It has created a new economy based on the philosophy of usership instead of ownership. Some of the best known examples of the sharing economy are Uber, RelayRides, Car2Go, Airbnb, Lending Club, SnapGoods, DogVacay and many more. The rise of the sharing economy affects not only consumer behaviour, but also the business model of many companies. According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers study in 2014, 44% of U.S. consumers were familiar with the sharing economy, 19% had engaged in a sharing economy transaction, and 72% of those consumers agreed that they would continue to be a consumer in the sharing economy. In Canada, the economic impact of Airbnb’s operations in Montreal was $54 million in 2013/14. In a survey, 45% of Canadians said that they were willing to rent items to others and 42% were willing to rent from others. The economic, social, and environmental benefits of the sharing economy are many. It has been argued that by maximizing the use of under-utilized goods and services, society will reduce excess production, consumption and waste. For example, Airbnb claims that its guests avoided greenhouse gas emissions comparable to 33,000 cars on North American roads in a year. Research from the University of California Transportation Centre reported that nine to thirteen cars are taken off the road by each shared car. City of Richmond | 6911 No. 3 Rd. Richmond BC V6Y 2C1 | Tel: 604-276-4000
www.richmond.ca
However, critics of this new form of market activities have pointed out that things are not all good with a sharing economy. For instance, the environmental benefits of the sharing economy may not be as great as it has been suggested. In Spain, the National Federation of Bus Transportation has called for the closure of a ride-sharing company because its operations are reducing the ridership of the mass transit companies. In London, a study by the Department for Transport found that the rise of apps such as Uber have played a part in worsening congestion because more vehicles are put on the streets. Therefore, from a public policy perspective, perhaps we should not jump on the sharing economy bandwagon just because it is popular to do so. In a report published by the University of Toronto, School of Public Policy and Governance, policymakers are cautioned that decisions cannot be reduced to “the simplistic question of whether the sharing economy is good or bad.” In the broader public interest, governments need to take into account the various interests at play and how they will be affected.
remains mostly unchanged. The BC Liberal party hasn’t lost a seat in Richmond since 1986, when Nick Loenen won the city’s lone riding for the Social Credit party. The closest anyone has come to challenging the party was Coun. Harold Steves, back in 1991, when he came within 610 votes of Allan Warnke, in a three-way race with Loenen for Richmond-Steveston. That same year, Reid won her first of six straight elections. Reid, the Speaker of the House, has yet to announce her intentions, but said she planned to in October. Yap, former Minister of Multiculturalism and present Parliamentary Secretary for Liquor Reform Policy, is seeking his fourth straight term in Victoria, while Wat, Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for the Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism, is seeking her second term for Richmond North Centre. As for the NDP, expecting to land as president of Steveston’s riding is Roy Sakata, a former elementary school principal.

In Richmond, many residents have expressed concerns about Airbnb. Many taxi drivers are also concerned that Uber is more like an unlicensed taxi service. On the matter of Airbnb, I have asked for a report from staff and expect it later this year. I believe it is time for us to engage the public and other stakeholders in an ongoing, open dialogue on how to respond to both the challenges and opportunities posed by the sharing economy. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage members of the public to share their concerns and opinions by emailing Council at mayorandcouncillors@richmond.ca or writing to us at Richmond City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC V6Y 2C1.

Sakata said the NDP hopes to soon name its four candidates, following Tuesday’s meeting. Sakata ran unsuccessfully for city council in 2014 and when asked what issues the NDP plans to raise in Richmond, he only noted a lack of funding for public education and that “everything is still evolving.” Sakata said his party will “listen in the lead-up to the election and listen to the needs of the people.” In the 2013 provincial election, NDP candidates Frank Huang, Scott Stewart and Gian Sihota all failed to crack the 30 per cent mark of the popular vote. Richmond has gradually evolved over the past decade to have notoriously low voter turnout. Voter turnout rebounded slightly in 2013, after all-time lows in all three ridings were reported in 2009, when only Steveston was higher than 50 per cent, at 52. Wat’s Richmond Centre riding had the lowest turnout in B.C., with just 43.6 per cent of registered voters casting a ballot.

German-style street party hits Steveston DJs, BBQ, car show and, of course, beer on tap Alan Campbell
Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com
G
et your lederhosen and beer steins ready; this Saturday a small part of Steveston Village will be transformed into an Oktoberfest-style street party. A 100 yard or so stretch of No. 1 Road — south of Moncton Street — will become a pedestrian-only zone from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24 in order for the first ever OktoberfeSteveston to take place. The free party itself kicks off at 10 a.m. with live DJs, a Mercedes-Benz car show — with some of the newest models, including one that isn’t even in the showrooms yet — face-painting, German sausage BBQ and a photo booth. The Rick Hansen Foundation will also be on site, along

German beer will, of course, be served in and behind the nearby Steveston Seafood House. “It’s full steam ahead,” said one of the event’s organizers, Davood Khatami. “Although the street is being shut down, it will be business as usual for all the merchants in there. “There’s going to be dancing in the street, it’s going to be a lot of fun.” Khatami, who runs Davood’s Bistro on No. 1 Road near Moncton Street, said OktoberfeSteveston wasn’t easy to bring together, but he’s confident it’s going to be worth the effort. “There was lots of organization with the city, who have helped us a lot, I have to say,” said Khatami. “On a busy day in Steveston, we get a few thousand people in the village and we’re hoping for even more to come out and support this. “We want it to go as smoothly as possible so we can do this again. So many people have been talking about this, so we have our hopes.” OktoberfeSteveston was crafted by Khatami and Dominque Jarry, of Sugar Art, both of whom were part of the group that organized Steveston World Cup Village in 2014.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores
Trojans rolling into conference play Mark Booth
Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com
A
fter a pair of convincing preseason wins, the Hugh Boyd Trojans are ready to get down to business. Following a dominating 40-6 victory in their home opener against South Kamloops, the Trojans now turn their attention to Western AA Conference play, starting next Friday with a trip to Nanaimo to take on the Islanders. Just four of the seven teams will advance to the provincial playoffs. Boyd’s schedule seems to set up well with potentially tougher tests each week — leading up to its final game back in Nanaimo in early November against perennial powerhouse John Barsby. However, head coach Bill Haddow isn’t taking any opponent for granted. “We need to win this game. There are some tough teams in our conference but we don’t want to look past Nanaimo,” said Haddow. “I have seen them on video and they are doing some good things and they are always tough kids over there. “We can’t afford to slip up. We will spent a lot of time this coming week on mental preparation, getting focussed and making sure we are doing everything we can to be ready to play. With only four of the seven making the playoffs, really,
no hiccups are allowed.” Haddow and the rest of the coaching staff were excited about this team’s potential, especially with the return of quarterback Tyler Moxin from a serious knee injury. A pair of impressive performances on both sides of the ball hasn’t stemmed that enthusiasm. After rolling to a 48-12 triumph over Earl Marriott in the season opener, the Trojans continued to showcase their explosiveness against a game but overmatched Titans team. Moxin hooked-up with speedster Robbie Conroy for three touchdowns, including a long over the shoulder catch on the final play of the opening half. Moxin also scored on a 40-yard keeper to open the third quarter in what would be his final drive of the day. Running back Reace Mok showed his explosiveness all afternoon and also found the end zone from seven yards out. Zach Jackson rounded out the scoring when he stepped in front of a pass from his cornerback position and raced untouched up the sidelines from 30-yards out. The success of the skilled players all starts with the Trojans talented interior line that dominated the trenches. Dylan Roach had four tackles and a pair of quarterback sacks to lead the defence. Kyle Lambert also had four tackles while Dayton Williamson chipped in with three.

“I think we are on a good course,” continued Haddow. “Tyler is a special athlete for sure. When you put a guy like that behind that line, with a couple of backs who can really scoot and a receiver
who is pretty special too, it adds up to some pretty exciting stuff on offence. “The kids are playing well but, at the same time, we are trying to put this into perspective too. It makes
us happy to see the kids are coming to practice all the time. We are getting lots done and they are working really hard. That is translating into our games. The mistakes have been minimal.”
Sockeyes looking to get their power play back on track A
n early season power outage went a long way to keeping the Richmond Sockeyes out of the win column last week. The Sockeyes went a combined 0-15 with the man advantage in dropping games to the Delta Ice Hawks and Aldergrove Kodiaks to sit 1-1-0-2 heading into Thursday’s Pacific Junior Hockey League encounter with the Abbotsford Pilots at Minoru Arenas (7 p.m.). Richmond outshot the Ice Hawks 46-33 last Tuesday but dropped a 3-2 road decision in double overtime. Connor Alderson’s goal with 1:27 left in regulation tied the game at 2-2 but it was the game the Sockeyes had more than enough

opportunities to bury the hosts. A pair of two-man advantages in the second period didn’t produce a goal and the Sockeyes finished night going 0-10 on the power play. Seafair product Jacob Latrace was terrific in the Delta net, making 44 saves, including 17 in the middle stanza. Captain Tyler Andrews had the other goal, while Jack Stradiotti made 30 saves in his Richmond debut after being acquired from Port Moody. Richmond was blanked on five more power play chances two nights later on home ice, but the Kodiaks were full value for a 5-1 win, enjoying a 46-30 advantage in the shot

department. The visitors took control with four unanswered goals in the second period after Brendan Marfleet’s first of the season had tied the game. Kurt Russell made 41 saves in a losing cause. Icing… Sockeyes general manager Richard Petrowsky completed a pair of other deals last week. He acquired 20-year-old forward Lucas Statford from the Aldergrove Kodiaks for future considerations and 19-yearold forward Cameron Kovesdi from the Vancouver Island League’s Saanich Braves for defenceman Gavin Lee.

Born in Windsor, Ontario to Ivy and Michael, Ray settled in Richmond in 1983. He is survived by his wife Christine and his son Darren, as well as his sister Doreen, brother Arnold, and their families. He will be remembered by his friends and family as a kind, intelligent and thoughtful man who had a presence in every room; who loved to travel the world (both in reality and through his books), and who worked to make the community a better place through his efforts with Wikipedia, the Richmond School District and the Steveston Community Center. In his memory, we will be celebrating his life at the John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse, 7277 River Rd, Richmond on Sunday September 25, 2016 from 2-5 pm. In lieu of flowers, Ray would ask that donations be made to the BC Cancer Foundation 686 W Broadway #150, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1G1, or to the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House, 6460 No. 4 Rd, Richmond, BC V6Y 2S9.
