NEWS: Special education funding delights some, infuriates others 3

School closure process reassessed Trustees call special meeting with parents to possibly halt review GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

P

arents were expected to pack a multipurpose room at Richmond secondary school Tuesday night to hear the Board of Education deliberate on whether or not to terminate the school closure process of McKay, Woodward and Dixon elementary schools.

The special meeting was announced Friday morning after trustees met with school district staff to digest not just the vocal calls of said parents asking for the proposed closures be scrapped, but also new information

from the provincial government on seismic funding.

“It’s been a long process, 15 months, and since the superintendent’s report, we’ve had a tremendous amount of feedback,” said board chair Debbie Tablotney.

The seven trustees were expected to vote on whether or not to terminate the closure process, after the News’ deadline for Wednesday’s paper. Vote results can be found at Richmond-News.com.

If a majority on the board voted in favour of terminating the closure process, the three aforementioned schools will remain open next year.

If trustees continued with the process, they will vote Oct. 17 whether or not to close

the three schools on an individual basis.

Trustee Dr. Eric Yung said before the vote Tuesday that there are several reasons why trustees may choose to continue the closure process, despite what appears to be unanimous opposition to it from parents.

Yung noted the district is running a $2 million operating deficit that has only been covered by a small surplus reserve fund.

“That is still going to be true next year...

We still have to come up with that money and it doesn’t appear that the province is going to give it to us,” said Yung.

The closures of McKay, Dixon and Woodward would save the district $750,000 in operating costs annually.

“At-risk students or students with special needs require a much higher level of support than regularly enrolled students . . .

This partnership between government and special education schools enables vulnerable students to acquire the skills they need to function independently in society when they graduate,” said Dr. Peter Froese, executive director with the Federation of Independent School Associations.

But that’s of little consequence to Kennedy, citing concerns over funding cuts to districts, including inadequate training for education assistants, cuts to special needs staff and inadequate access to specialized services.

“We are demanding that funding provided to children with special needs in our public education system be adequate to meet their needs,” said Kennedy.

According to Richmond RCMP, the teenager was walking alone, northbound on Ash Street towards General Currie Road at around 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 7.

As she approached the Paulik Park Community Garden, she was allegedly approached from behind by an unknown attacker, who pushed her to the ground and forcibly, sexually assaulted her.

The girl managed to fight off her attacker and eventually escaped.

The suspect is described as male, five feet, 10 inches to five feet, 11 inches tall, wearing dark pants, dark dress shoes and a dark puffy jacket.

MINORU THE RACCOON

stops in at the Richmond News to chat with News Publisher Pierre Pelletier about Wild Things at the Richmond Nature Park on October 22nd & 23rd.

British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) panel has sanctioned Richmond’s William Raymond Malone for breaching an order prohibiting him from acting as a director and engaging in investor relations activities.

On Jan. 29, 2009, Malone entered into an agreement with the BCSC and, as part of the settlement, he was subject to an order prohibiting him from acting as a director or officer of any issuer and from engaging in investor relations activities for three years or the date he successfully completed a course of study concerning the duties and responsibilities of directors and officers.

In August of this year, the panel found that during the time period when the order was in effect, Malone breached the order by acting as a de facto director and/ or officer of Lion King Resources Inc., a private B.C. company that was in the business of promoting and developing an iron ore property in the Atacama region of Chile.

The panel also found that Malone breached the order by conducting investor relations activities on behalf of Lion King when he solicited a B.C. resident to purchase securities of Lion King.

seismic upgrades that are needed from the Ministry of Education.

Over the past 15 months, that has meant devising a plan to bring district-wide facilities up to 95 per cent utilization (for purposes of efficiency), per orders from the ministry (as understood by the Richmond School District), which has shown a reluctance to rebuild schools that have numerous unoccupied rooms.

But this summer, the ministry told the district (or reiterated to it) that such a threshold was merely a guideline. It simultaneously took away the 95 per cent threshold from Vancouver, as well.

Meanwhile, Richmond MLAs stated last week that the province has earmarked $560 million for high-risk seismic schools over the next three years.

Furthermore, some schools will continue to see declining enrolment, particularly in detached home neighbourhoods, even as the district projects a small boost across the city next year.

Asked if the Vancouver School Board’s decision last week to halt its own process of school closures had an impact on Richmond trustees, Tablotney was reserved in her comments.

“What I can say about the Vancouver decision is that this is very different. They were just starting their consultation phase,” said Tablotney.

The chair has maintained in the past that it was her duty to keep students safe and that, in part, meant getting facilities the

In its decision, the panel noted that Malone represents a significant risk to B.C.’s capital markets, stating “He was previously sanctioned for misconduct in our capital markets and, despite the order, simply carried on conduct in breach of the regulatory restrictions imposed on him.

“This raises questions about whether Malone will allow himself to be regulated.”

For his misconduct, the panel has ordered that Malone pay an administrative penalty of $60,000.

He must also resign any positions he holds as, and is prohibited from becoming or acting as, a director or officer of any issuer.

Malone is also banned from becoming or acting as a registrant or promoter, acting in a management or consultative capacity in connection with activities in the securities market and engaging in investor relations activities.

Malone’s bans are to remain in effect until Oct. 3, 2023 and until he pays his administrative penalty and successfully completes a course of study concerning the duties and responsibilities of directors and officers.

Richmondites losing touch: Survey Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

A

recent survey by the Vancouver Foundation indicates Richmondites are experiencing a lower sense of belonging in their neighbourhoods than most other British Columbians and housing affordability is their biggest concern.

The findings come as no surprise to Coun. Carol Day, who has raised the matter of neighbourhood connectivity for several years, partly as a community activist and partly as a city councillor.

“I’m dismayed by this obviously, but I’m not surprised,” said Day. There are several reasons why residents are reporting a lower sense of belonging in Richmond, said Day, alluding to the loss of long-established small businesses, a rapid influx of immigrants who have difficulty speaking English, speculative investment in the housing market, vacant homes, home demolitions and increased traffic.

Mustel Group’s multilingual survey of 300 respondents showed that only 51 per cent of residents had a “strong” sense of belonging to their neighbourhood, whereas across B.C. the rate was 66 per cent.

The findings are similar to those of a more robust Vancouver Coastal Health survey last December.

“There does seem to be a higher level of disconnection or lack of sense of belong-

ing certainly compared to Vancouver and across B.C,” said Lidia Kemeny, director of grants at the foundation, a charitable organization that supports volunteer activities and funds neighbourhood initiatives.

Day said many long-term residents are feeling “overwhelmed” by rapid changes.

“It’s too much, it’s too soon, too many,” said Day. The survey found only 38 per cent of respondents agreed that when someone new moves in that they are welcomed into the neighbourhood.

“For many people it’s not worth the effort,” to reach out to others. “That dismays me, as well,” said Day. “It’s our duty to knock on the door of those new neighbours and help them feel connected,” said Day. For new immigrants, Day said language barriers are likely contributing to their sense of disconnect.

“We’ve done so well to accommodate their language; they don’t have to speak English.

“We need to introduce them to the benefits of interacting with the whole community,” said Day, who believes more people should say “hello” to one another in passing.

The survey also found Richmond has a low rate of volunteerism, compared to the rest of the province.

Ed Gavsie, executive director of volunteer organization Richmond Cares Richmond Gives, said it’s not because of a lack of opportunity.

“Possibly, part of it could be a language issue in Richmond,” said Gavsie.

RCRG is now advertising in the local Chinese newspapers to find volunteer drivers for the Better at Home seniors program.

Gavsie is also leading focus groups in the n Coun. Carol Day is ‘dismayed’ but not surprised by the recent findings of a Chinese comsurvey into neighbourhood connectivity.

Interchange a danger, eyesore: Staff Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

C

ity council was asked by Richmond’s director of transportation, Victor Wei, to address concerns his department has with regards to a proposed free-flowing interchange at Steveston Highway and Highway 99, as part of the Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.

But his call to send a letter to the Ministry of Transportation about such concerns was not unanimously endorsed.

Coun. Alexa Loo opposed the motion at a committee meeting Oct. 3.

Part of Wei’s concerns had to do with a large, walled ramp being built next to The Gardens condo development.

He wants the Ministry to incorporate a “green wall” to reduce the visual impact.

Loo objected, stating that such a request is the sort of thing that drives up costs for projects and costs are already a concern for this one in particular.

Wei also voiced concerns about the width of the new highway, noting there was lots of dead space between some lanes. Loo said extra shoulder room adds a measure of safety.

The motion at committee also called on council to reconfirm its “significant concerns regarding the proposed bridge.”

Unlike the rest of council, Loo and Coun. Ken Johnston support the project overall, although Johnston voted in favour of this particular motion.

Wei also raised concerns related to the air quality and safety of bus passengers waiting at the transit exchange, which is situated in the middle of a 12-lane freeway with seven lanes passing above.

Get me off house/hotel carousel Dear Editor, Re: “Welcome to the house hotel,” News, Sept. 30.

Thank you, Graeme Wood for investigating illegal house hotels. Our neighbourhood has suffered noise, speeding traffic and litter from an Airbnb operation for the last year.

Owners rent out the whole house to groups of locals and tourists — a favourite venue for large parties. Where else can you get a five-bedroom house for a humongous party for $500?

A few months ago, a large party was broken up by the RCMP with three cruisers.

Two ambulances were also required. In the rush to escape, cars scattered, including using our lawn to make a U-turn.

We face parties and large groups almost every weekend and sometimes during the week.

Unfortunately, a friendly talk to the owner is not possible as the house is deserted,

n The Richmond News discovered how this large, detached home in the Blundell neighbourhood was being used as an illegal hotel. File photo

except when a multitude of renters show up.

The city says it reacts to complaints. This hasn’t worked for us.

The city’s bylaws office says it doesn’t deal with noise from short-term renters or parties

YVR applauded Dear Editor, Re: “Flight plan,” News, Oct. 7.

Kudos to YVR for considering themselves at least partly responsible for funding the Canada Line’s airport extension.

I had not known, before reading Alan Campbell’s page 18 feature story, that YVR contributed $300 million toward the Canada Line extension that connects the airport to the system.

I hope to see more P3 partnerships in B.C., when private industry’s goals mesh with the public’s.

Is it time to ask who else, besides commuters, benefits from replacing the Massey Tunnel?

George Pope Richmond

Kudos to the crew Dear Editor, I am so impressed with the construction crew working on the watermain replacement in Brighouse Estates.

I can’t judge the quality of the labour, except to remark that it looks pretty good.

But I can say that every one of the men with whom I’ve spoken, has been extraordinarily polite, patient, well-informed, kind and often witty.

It makes me think that the city must be a good employer, and if any of my tax dollars help to support them, that’s money well spent.

and have no power to address Airbnb rentals.

They suggest we call the RCMP. The RCMP says it cannot talk to the home owners and suggested we go to the city bylaw office.

Get the circular picture?

Thank you, RCMP for attending to individual parties. But a solution, before we are woken up in the middle of the night again, is not in sight.

Too many houses in our formerly quiet neighbourhoods are being operated like hotels and party rental halls.

This is quite different from a resident quietly renting out one room to supplement their mortgage.

Lost sleep and disruption continues!

The city needs to shut down these operations.

P

remiere Christy Clark’s “vanity bridge” adventure is hurtling the wrong way. Can anyone save the day? Superman? Batman?

Richmond can!

Councillors Harold Steves, Carol Day, Linda McPhail and Mayor Malcolm Brodie have enlisted Metro Vancouver and other allies, as well as the public, to get through to our current premier or, if necessary, the next one.

They’re also seeking a federal environmental assessment. This is crucial and urgent.

But a change requires an alternative. Luckily, a prior BC Liberal government developed a better plan than Clark’s.

To begin, the BC Liberal plan assumes the seismic upgrade of the existing Massey Tunnel will be completed. (A decade ago, the upgrade stalled after the internal phase, leaving tunnel users at undue risk until the external phase gets done.)

The external seismic upgrade will stabilize the ground around the existing tunnel and its approaches. It should benefit from advances in methods in the lost years, as well as insights from recent seismic analysis for bridge

purposes.

Beyond that, the plan envisions an added two-lane tunnel tube, better interchanges and overpasses, and an extensive transit strategy.

The transit aspect features a high-capacity Rapid Bus route on Highway 99 between White Rock and Bridgeport, with a dedicated lane each way for “clean energy buses” and emergency vehicles.

Shoulder bus lanes have gradually appeared along the highway. The present need is for many more buses, along with related transit action such as a big increase in Canada Line capacity. That would reduce car use, freeing road space for other transport.

The new tunnel tube will be placed in a new

trench, a little east of the current tube, though still seen as part of the Massey Tunnel.

The new tube will have to be installed in time to replace the legacy tube when it undergoes major renovations, closing a pair of lanes at a time. After that, there will be six good lanes.

By now, it’s apparent that Christy Clark’s bridge adventure would cost more than stated, but even the stated $3.5 billion could fund the original BC Liberal plan very well with a couple of billion to spare. (No need for tolls.)

As well, pre-empting the cost overrun of the Christy plan could provide funding for seismic retrofit of B.C. schools. That might save many families from tragedy.

Also vital: While the Christy plan would assist deep dredging of the Fraser ship channel, the BC Liberal plan deters it. That averts severe harm to the river’s ecology, including already-stressed salmon runs, and to the river delta’s agriculture, including Richmond’s.

It’s time to move on from the “vanity bridge,” a towering symbol made of folly.

The alternative, the dusted-off Liberal plan, is feasible, and it will enable efficient crossriver trips. If they’re pleasant, reliable and safe for all kinds of users, that will be success.

LETTERSto the Editor

Cyclists need protection Dear Editor, I was nearly killed by a car the other day while biking on Shell Road.

Yet another driver decided that, because he was in a car and I was on a bike, he had the right of way and I was not a legitimate vehicle.

We have a lot of work to do. The city of Copenhagen has made it a goal to have more than 50 per cent of their commuters using bicycles. They are currently at 48 per cent.

Here in Richmond, we are at less than one per cent.

Richmond is flat. It is ideal for biking, but we are so very far behind most cities.

As B.C.’s population grows, we are going to see more and more traffic congestion. If everyone continues to drive, we can expect longer commutes and higher taxes to pay for roads and bridges.

This is assuming that we can find more land to build these extra roads and bridges.

I am not even going to mention global warming and environmental issues, which, given our low altitude, should seriously concern all Richmond residents.

Even if you do not like biking yourself, be thankful to every biker you see, because that means one less car to get stuck behind.

We have work to do in three areas: 1. Driver education: Most Richmond drivers are amazingly respectful of bikers. I want to thank these wonderful drivers for the many times they have made me safer on the roads.

The one per cent of poorly trained and uninformed drivers have given Richmond a reputation in the Lower Mainland of being unsafe for bikers.

2. Bike routes: Thank you to city council for the excellent start to biking infrastructure. Still, there are many disconnects and bottlenecks that throw bikers into close and dangerous proximity to cars. If we want to get

people out of their cars, we need to provide safe biking routes and infrastructure. It is much much cheaper to build bike routes than roads for cars and trucks.

3. Enforcement: We need to take note of drivers and cyclists who make things unsafe.

It is time for a step program by the Richmond RCMP to enforce bike safety and awareness.

Richmond is an amazing place, where a diverse group of people live together with remarkably little conflict. Let’s make this work in the way that the people of Richmond always do, with respect for each other.

I would like to leave a message to the guy who nearly killed me yesterday: Try riding a bike to work and seeing it from my point of view and maybe you will understand what was so very problematic with your driving yesterday. Do this before you kill someone.

I don't want to break the law Dear Editor, As an elementary school student, I bike a lot. To school, to parks, etc.

According to BikeSense, the British Columbia Bicycle Operator’s Manual, it is illegal for cyclists to bike on sidewalks, unless permitted by official signs.

Wowk Elementary, we had to go on the sidewalk, if there was no bike lane, for “safety reasons.” This should not be happening.

A while ago, I was biking on Westminster Highway.

There are no bike lanes, so I had to bike on the road.

There were some people merging to other lanes to avoid me, which was very kind.

I would like to ask the City of Richmond to put more bike lanes on major roads, and increase knowledge of biking laws to the public, as it would make biking safer and more enjoyable for all, as biking is a very good form of exercise.

or nine-year-old Rose, having her mother bake her favourite lemon cake for her birthday is a real treat, until the day she bites into it and can feel all of her mother’s despair and sadness in the otherwise tasty morsel.

At first confused, Rose has trouble grasping the incongruence between these feelings and her mother’s outward appearance of a happy can-do woman, but as the story progresses, she learns to deal with what she learns through eating, not only her mother’s cooking, but that of others as well.

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, by Aimee Bender, is at times a fascinating tale of magical realism.

Through Rose’s unique

talent, the reader is reminded that we are not always as we seem on the outside; who knows what feelings lurk beneath the sunny exterior of the coffee barista, or the unhappy cookie baker.

I did enjoy Rose’s storyline, how she discovered what she could feel in different foods, how she learned to process that as a child and how it affected her relationship with her mother.

I found I could really imagine how Rose felt every time she ate something, and I would wonder what she would get from the food she was eating, how it would make her feel.

However, I found the storyline of Joseph, Rose’s brother, a little odd and it took some time to sort out what was going on with him.

Joseph frequently just disappears and then reappears, without explanation.

Not only does he disappear, but also he is able to morph into the form of an object in the room.

It was, in my opinion, farfetched and did not really add anything to Rose’s story or to the book.

Perhaps it is just me that found the ability to taste people’s feelings as plausible, but to understand the mysterious disappearances of Joseph took more belief than I could muster.

It is possible that the Joseph story was never really developed or fully explained as why he needed to disappear, while the reader delves deeply into Rose, her feelings and her ability.

Either way, it did not add anything to my reading experience.

This book is a good read for those who enjoy a bit of surrealism and secrecy, mixed with a bit of magic.

Richmond residents asked to 'Chew On This'

W

ith more than 1,500 people using the Richmond Food Bank every week — one-third of them being children — the people of Richmond are being asked to get involved with the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on Oct. 17.

Volunteers in Richmond and across Canada will take to the streets to participate in the fourth annual “Chew On This!” campaign, which is organized by Dignity for All, an initiative co-led by Canada Without Poverty and Citizens for Public Justice, both registered charities.

Outside Richmond’s Brighouse public library, volunteers will be handing out

hundreds of brown paper bags containing a snack and information, prompting people to consider the realities of poverty and food insecurity.

“In Richmond, the cost of housing is so high that families are forced to use their food money to keep a roof over their heads,” said De Whalen, chair of the Richmond Poverty Response Committee.

“The result is they must attend the food bank and go to community meals to feed their families.”

The Food Bank now has six distribution days per week, including an evening distribution for families of the working poor. Five

community meals per week in Richmond are oversubscribed and churches have to turn away people when the numbers go over 200 meals.

For more information, go online to ChewOnThis.ca or DignityForAll.ca/FedPlan.

n Homelessness Action Week

Finding and keeping housing that is affordable is a challenge for many residents across Metro Vancouver and, particularly, in Richmond.

Challenges due to the unavailability of affordable rental housing, inadequate income and limited support services are intensifying

and negatively impact an increasing number of people throughout the city, Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Homelessness Action Week, from Oct. 9 to 15, is a week of local and individual action to draw attention to the needs of those who face a constant struggle to find and keep a place they can afford.

During the week, there will be opportunities to volunteer at or donating to a Homelessness Action Week activity in Richmond.

Learn more about ways to support your local community in addressing homelessness by going online to StopHomelessness.ca or call 604-718-7735.

ifferent location. Same great yogurt.

That’s the news at Qoola Yogurt which opened its doors recently to a new store at Garden City Mall after relocating from Richmond Centre this summer.

The switch is designed to bring the fresh, cool and creamy goodness of Qoola to a whole new audience, said Bonnie Ng, who is looking forward to serving those who have not yet discovered Qoola.

“We’re in such a fabulous location in a neighbourhood with plenty of families and two

schools,” she said. “And we hope they will all come and try our yogurt, which is a great alternative to some other highcalorie, high-sugar treats.”

Yes, Qoola Yogurt is a healthy alternative.

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, antioxidant-packed blueberries and strawberries. Or go for some slivered almonds for that toasted, nutty Zavour 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.

Yogurt a low calorie alternative From page 14 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 as a healing, immune-stimulating, energyboosting fruit. And at just 140 calories and 26 grams of sugar, 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 [nd some other surprises, such as the mango tango sorbet which has a mere 80 calories and just 15 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.

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

RAPS scares up a balanced budget

Animal charity's deficit is a ghost of the past as it prepares for Halloween event ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

s Richmond’s primary animal charity prepares for one of its biggest fundraisers of the year, its CEO is hailing the wiping out of the organization’s $200,000 deficit.

For years, the Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) — which has the city’s animal shelter contract — limped along financially, relying mostly on donations.

However, since the new CEO, Eyal Lichtmann, took over in January, many changes — some painful ones — have been made, resulting, in the first time for many years, the balancing of RAPS’ precarious budget.

And with RAPS’ Oktoberfest Pub Night at Richmond Curling Club coming up on Oct. 22, the good news, claims Lichtmann, is perfect timing for the charity.

“We’ve reorganized all the finances and we’ve now balanced the budget, which had a significant deficit just two years ago,” Lichtmann told the Richmond News.

“I’ve needed time to put everything in place before applying for a whole lot of grants.

“Before making those applications, though, I had to streamline the entire organization.”

When Lichtmann took over at the beginning of the year, one of the main bones of contention was the fact the new CEO wasn’t taking a salary, with RAPS’ volunteer president, Fearn

Edmonds, saying that “He’s going to raise enough funds to fund himself, so we’re not concerned about money coming out of the budget. We simply don’t have that money and Eyal knows this.”

“As I’ve said before, I’m paid on results and I believe I’ve managed to stop all the leakage,” said Lichtmann.

“My full compensation will be determined at year’s end.”

Bringing in its own, in-house volunteer vet in Guy Arad, who is also on RAPS’ board of directors, in June has proved, according to Lichtmann, to be one of the main cost savers for RAPS, with vet bills understandably being

the charity’s main expense.

“The (in-house vet) has been a phenomenal change; to have that level of experience at our disposal is invaluable,” said Lichtmann, adding that the only cost charged by Arad is for the animal’s medication.

“We’ve professionalized our medical program from top to bottom and we’ve reduced our veterinary expenses by 55 per cent.

“Before, we were getting charged per animal every time it went to a vet; now it’s a fixed price. The basic (animal care) is done at the clinic in the shelter, while more complex procedures are still sourced out to the best value.

That’s how we’re keeping the costs down.”

More preventative medicine, including early diagnosis and treatment, claims Lichtmann, is making a significant impact in terms of cutting down on costly vet bills over the longer term. Two new RAPS vans, donated by

n RAPS’ CEO Eyal Lichtmann, far left, said he has managed, in his first 10 months in charge, to balance the animal charity’s extremely tight budget. Left, RAPS’ shelter on No. 5 Road is undergoing some renovation, as a new facility awaits.

Applewood Nissan in Richmond, are currently being out-fitted and will soon be on the road.

And 1,100 feet of donated office space in the Richmond Automall is getting renovated right now for RAPS administration, with a move-in date of around 30 to 45 days.

RAPS’ current shelter on No. 5 Road, near Rice Mill Road, is also being renovated right now, with a new facility still, seemingly, a ways off, with plans contained within a longterm City of Richmond capital project review. n RAPS’ Oktoberfest event is on Saturday,

Oct. 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. at the Richmond Curling Club. Tickets are available at RAPSBC.com and cost $35.

ealthcare providers use clinical practice guidelines — standards of care based on the scientific evidence that evolve with the advance of knowledge. These provide the current best practices for managing clinical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, heart attacks and strokes.

We practise various scenarios together, and we repeat the Neonatal Life Support course and recertification examinations every two years.

When a problem arises, we are prepared, recognize it early and know how to respond.

So, clinical practice guidelines are essential to modern medicine. With ever-advancing research, the medications, investigations and interventions are better and safer than what we have used in the past.

But in our zeal to provide the best, stateof-the-art care to our patients, we sometimes

forget that these are but the tools of healthcare. Ethics instructs us in how we ought to use them.

Medical ethics has been the heart and soul of medicine since ancient times.

Though every healthcare provider is called to the profession by our desire to help others — to do good, the first rule of medicine is to do no harm.

That is one of the perpetual dilemmas of medicine. Every investigation and treatment — including blood tests, radiologic examinations, biopsies, interventional procedures, operations and scopes — comes with the potential for harm, side effects and risks, major and minor.

And central to any decision are the preferences and values of the individual patient.

This is the principle of autonomy. It requires informed patients — who have been given and understand all of the information they require to make a decision. What is the purpose for this test, medication or procedure?

What are the common risks? What are the most serious risks? What are the alternatives?

This is the information that a patient needs to provide informed consent for treatment, weighing benefits against risks and arriving on the choice that is best for that individual.

It is of course guided by your values. What gives your life meaning? (independence, connection with others, your work?) What treatments (i.e. blood transfusions, abortions, stem cells) are against your beliefs and values? What is a good and acceptable quality of life to you?

SPORTSBeyond the Scores n Richmond FC women won silver at the Jubilee National Championship held last week in St. John’s, Nfld.

Richmond had won their round robin pool to advance to the gold medal game by defeating New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Alberta, but lost to Quebec 2-0 in the championship match held Monday. It was the first time in 30 years that a Richmond team had made it to the Jubilee National Championship game, while this was the fourth appearance for Quebec in the finals in the past six years. In addition to winning the silver medal, Richmond was also given the Fair Play Award for the team with the fewest number of cards. Photo submitted

Finklestein gets national team call up R

n It was an all-Richmond soccer clash in the pouring rain as players from the U17 Richmond FC Titans (right) took on the U16 Richmond FC Crew during the 2016 Richmond FC Boys’ Thanksgiving Tournament. A total of 67 teams from across B.C. took part in the 24th annual event which involved players from U11 to U18.

ichmond’s Hanna Finkelstein is among 32 athletes who have been named to Softball Canada’s 2017 Junior Women’s National Team Athlete Pool.

The athlete pool was selected by the women’s national team coaching staff following three regional identification camps held this summer and scouting at several major tournaments including the U16 and U18 Canadian Championships.

Back in August, Finkelstein helped the powerhouse White Rock ’99 Renegades reach the U18 national final in Charlottetown, PEI before dropping a 4-3 decision to the ’98 Renegades in an all-B.C. final.

The ’99 team captured the U16

Canadian title a year earlier and is already favoured for the 2017 nationals.

Finkelstein, a Grade 12 student at Hugh Boyd secondary, saw regular duties at pitcher as well as third base for the Renegades.

And she was namedTournament MVP at the 2015 U16 Nationals.

The honour roll student is also a multiple winner of Hugh Boyd’s Athlete of the Year Award.

All athletes from the pool will attend a selection camp next June in Cloverdale.

From this camp, the coaching staff will select a team to represent Canada at the 2017 WBSC Junior Women’s World Softball Championship. That event is scheduled for July 24-30 in Clearwater, Florida.
