Mind your sign language

Council supports proposal for mandatory 50 per cent English on signs ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

t least 50 per cent English on business signs in Richmond could be on the way, after a surprising turn of events at city hall Monday afternoon.

City council and staff were debating the merits of a proposed, new sign regulation bylaw — which focused mainly on decluttering storefronts of ads and streamlining the sign application process — when Coun. Bill McNulty insisted that future signage should have at least 50 per cent of one of Canada’s official languages.

Motivating McNulty to move the amendment was the weight of nearly 200 com-

ments received during public consultation at the end of last year, with the majority of the feedback pointing to an apparent dearth of English on business signs across the city.

Before his amendment went around the table, however, Mayor Malcolm Brodie reminded council that city lawyers have already warned them that any move to demand English or French on business signs may fall foul of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (charter) and be challenged in the courts.

The warning failed to deter McNulty, who moved on with his amendment, which was successfully passed, with councillors Carol Day, Alexa Loo, Ken Johnston and Harold Steves voting in favour. The mayor, along with councillors Derek Dang, Chak Au and

Linda McPhail, all voted against the move.

The amended bylaw proposal will now go to a full council meeting next Monday, ahead of a public hearing, possibly later this month.

Before the amendment was passed, McNulty, referring to public feedback, said the message was clear that it was time to start regulating the language on business signs in Richmond.

“I’m looking at all these comments saying we should include English; maybe it’s time to just put (English) in. I keep seeing these kind of comments,” said McNulty.

“People are saying they want to see (English); if it gets challenged (in court), it gets challenged.”

munity mailboxes, and whether or not design specifications and/or requirements for the former are as robust as the latter.

Palecek used the opportunity in speaking to media Monday to denounce the corporation’s “dismal failure” in transitioning from door-todoor service to community mailboxes.

“We know when you put all the mail in one place it becomes a one-stop shop for thieves,” he said, noting more information on the problem is required for the public to make an informed decision on whether they want their neighbourhoods to transition to commu-

nity mailboxes, per policy proposals.

Hamilton said considering there are five million households in Canada, the problem is relatively small and the union was making “self-serving” comments to media.

The squabble is of little comfort to Xue, who said Canada Post should have a “duty of care” to fix broken boxes.

“I contacted Canada Post. They don’t care. . . Canada Post is so bad, the service is so low. They don’t know how to solve the problem,” said Xue.

Lessons must be learned from McMath drama: Parent Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

A

week after threats of a mass shooting at McMath secondary, many parents are still asking questions about how the Richmond School District handled the incident.

Around 250 families saw fit to keep their children away from the Steveston school in the few days following last Tuesday, after the threats were made, initially vague on the Monday, before becoming more specific on the Tuesday.

Many parents, via social media and by contacting the Richmond News, are questioning why the school was allowed to open at all on the Tuesday.

While the event ended peacefully when a youth was arrested, there is also concern about the lack of information communicated to the parents, both initially and during the day, with students having to adhere to the “hold and secure” procedure, whereby stu-

based on the information we had, the decision was made with the police that it would be safe for the students to return to school on Tuesday. That was communicated to the parents,” Sadler told the News this week, adding that the final decision to open or close any school rests with the district, but is “based on the advice of the police.”

“If the police said it was unsafe, it would be unlikely that we would go against that.”

At some point during Monday night into Tuesday morning, there was an additional threat made, said Sadler, but the “school district and school staff didn’t become aware of that until the morning, when students had already started to arrive.

“We viewed the additional threat, which was more specific, and the threat assessment was then deemed to be higher and the school went into the ‘hold and secure’ protocol.

“These were essentially two incidents and the school district can only deal with the information it had at the time,” said Sadler.

Volunteer in your community and share the benefits

By Linda McPhail Councillor

organizations that have significantly supported volunteer recruitment, training, retention and recognition.

As the summer season of events, community programs and festivals begins, many people are both needed and interested in volunteering. This is great news, because without the selfless hours that volunteers put into so many activities, many experiences would not be a success, or even possible.

Within the City’s volunteer management database (icanhelp.richmond.ca), we see that volunteer hours recorded by community groups have increased. More than 536,550 volunteer hours were recorded from December 2008 to April 2017 and over 12,370 active volunteers are now registered in the database.

In addition to the many summer volunteer opportunities up for grabs, there continues to be volunteer opportunities all year round with the City and community organizations. You can easily register, view the opportunities and submit your availability at www.icanhelp.richmond.ca

There is something for everyone at www.icanhelp.richmond.ca – formal and informal structures, technical and general subject matters, there is something for all ages and abilities, and there are a variety of time requirements too – from just one weekend, to several days or weeks, to annual commitments of various kinds.

Communities thrive with volunteerism. Non-profit organizations and local governments reap the benefits of saving resources they can allocate elsewhere while welcoming the manpower and expertise of volunteers. This is especially true right now, during times of the declining role other levels of government are playing for various services.

Here are some specific opportunities I recently saw on the site: • Canada 150 events • Britannia Shipyards Heritage Site tour guides and greeters • Richmond Public Library • Richmond’s Emergency Programs

It’s not just communities that thrive with volunteerism.

It’s been proven over and again that those who volunteer experience many benefits. Altruism, the desire to selflessly help others, is a primary source of motivation for volunteers, and other rewards are endless – learning new skills, gaining experience, meeting new people, staying active, sharing knowledge and experience with others, and a sense of belonging and community contribution are just a few.

Studies have concluded that volunteering can improve an individual’s health, through increased confidence and a heightened sense of well-being. Many volunteers encounter a variety of new challenges and successes when giving their time in their communities. Volunteering brings people together who may otherwise never cross paths in their daily lives, enriching and strengthening the fabric of our City.

The efforts of volunteers, both individuals and organizations, have been very important throughout Richmond’s history. Our large base of volunteers can be attributed to many community

I wish to express my gratitude to all Richmond volunteers.

for accessibility

T

he Rick Hansen Foundation didn’t have to look far to find one of its three winners of its inaugural Accessible Cities Award.

Richmond, along with Winnipeg and Edmonton, were honoured by the foundation for leading in promoting universal access for people with disabilities.

The Richmond-based foundation said the City of Richmond has a holistic and dedicated approach to access.

“Since the 1980s, it has adopted policies to improve accessibility, and today, access and inclusion are themes embedded throughout City planning documents, which emphasize the need for accessible and inclusive neighbourhoods to facilitate aging in place, improve access to services and respond to community members of all abilities,” noted the foundation, via a news release.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said as much, noting planners incorporate accessibility features in their urban designs.

For instance, ensuring new sidewalks have wheelchair ramps, street corners have markings for visually impaired people and crosswalks have acoustic signals are among the many examples of features the city works on implementing in its public spaces.

Notably, the Richmond Olympic Oval was recognized as one of five spots in Canada where universal access is best practiced.

“These cities are demonstrating leadership and determination in creating greater accessibility in our built environments. Congratulations to Winnipeg, Richmond, and Edmonton for their successes in pursuing best practices by expanding universal access and for inspiring others to do the same,” said Hansen, a Richmond resident and foundation CEO. Hansen is known as the Man in Motion, for his global tour in a wheelchair for spinal cord research in 1985.

High rent forces RCCS to cut programs Society hopes new base is not its forever home Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

S

ize, as it happens, does seem to matter – at least as far as the Richmond Chinese Community Society (RCCS) is concerned.

After more than 20 years in the same location on Park Road in City Centre, RCCS went through the painful process of moving from its 4,000-square-foot “home” last month, due to spiralling rental costs.

However, with the 28-year-old non-profit organization’s new base on Westminster Highway at Buswell Street being at least half the square footage, RCCS has, unfortunately, had to cut or merge some of its programs.

And with RCCS having in the region of 1,000 active members — many of whom are seniors of Chinese ethnicity — it fears it may lose some of its clients because of the crush.

“We only have one activity room, so we’ve had to reduce our programing. I don’t think the members are too happy,” said RCCS executive director Henry Beh.

‘Not everyone is getting to take part in what they want; there are people missing out and we will probably lose some members.

“I hate moving. It was tough moving from a big space to a small space, as it really limits what we can do. We can’t do drop-in programs, for example, as we don’t have the space. Space is the most important thing for us and it’s stopping us from introducing new programs as well.”

Linda Li, the society’s new president, said trying to find somewhere affordable in a central location — where their seniors members can easily access — is proving to be very challenging.

“Affordability is a big issue, we just can’t pay the big, commercial rents; we are a non-profit,” said Li. “We’ve signed a lease here for three years, but the parking is going to be an issue. We have only two assigned spaces outside in the parking lot.

“The City of Richmond is helping us to look for a bigger space. They show us around places, but it has to be affordable and it has to be on the bus route, or within walking distance; if it’s on River Road or

something, it’s not going to work.”

As well as laying on programs and classes for Richmond’s Chinese community, RCCS runs the Chinese New Year celebrations at Lansdowne Mall, the Mid-Autumn Festival and takes part in the Salmon Festival parade on Canada Day in Steveston.

“RCCS been in the parade since 1996 and were the first Chinese group to take part,” added Beh. RCCS is also in the middle of organizing for the weekend of July 29, the RCCS Canada 150 Art and Cultural Festival, which will be held on the plaza outside at Lansdowne Canada Line station and inside Lansdowne Centre.

RCCS’ mandate is to “assist in the process of integration and assimilation of Chinese-Canadians into mainstream society” and provides a variety of services and programs to the community, such as fitness dance, ballroom dance, Tai Chi and Yuanji classes, karaoke, yoga, Chinese brush painting, calligraphy and belly dance.

If you would like to join or volunteer with RCCS, call 604-2707222, email Info@RCCS.ca or go online to RCCS.ca.

District aims to improve protocols From page 3

n The City of Richmond is looking at spending $100,000 on 20 public art, modular benches as part of its Canada 150 celebration. Rendering submitted

Lee hopes work is being done to create a clearer path as to what schools and parents do in these situations.

“I want them to come out with an after-action recap,” he said.

“Something that tells us what the procedure is and how much will be communicated to the parents.”

Sadler acknowledged that there will, indeed, be a review of the

procedures, including a de-brief on Wednesday between the district and Richmond RCMP. “Following that, we will have another de-brief with the district executive and the school trustees,” added Sadler. “There will likely be more answers to people’s questions after tomorrow.”

Sadler said the district will look to see if there are ways to improve the protocols and procedures, saying that what is communicated to the

parents (in such situations) “will be part of those discussions.”

On Thursday, the News reported that a second youth was being questioned by police after taking responsibility for Tuesday’s drama, which involved threats of a mass shooting, targeting the school’s LGBTQ and Jewish communities.

According to police, the youth in question was “cooperating with police but cannot be identified due to his age.”

Brodie: Language law challenges 'freedom of expression' From page 1 Referring to city staff’s assertion that education, rather than regulation, has been working over the last two years — in terms of encouraging businesses to use English on their signs — Steves said it shouldn’t then be a problem if it becomes part of the new bylaw.

And he also took issue with the mayor’s concern that “community harmony” could be compromised if the city chooses to demand English or French on future business signs.

“We have the business community agreeable to it, so what’s stopping us?” said Steves.

“When I grew up as a kid, the population of the town was half Japanese and when I walked into a shop or something, they would change their language to English as a courtesy.

“I had a lady come to the farm the other day (wanting to buy something) and the only

English word she knew was ‘poo.’

“If half the population (nowadays) doesn’t speak English, then you don’t have community harmony.”

After hearing from one of the city’s lawyers at Monday’s general purposes meeting, Brodie further reminded council that the “civil liberties people have told us that it will be challenged.

“We should work with people, rather than put down strict bylaws. The fact is that these are signs on public property and we have a legal opinion that there are difficulties (with demanding a language).”

Brodie added that the debate boils down to the provision for “freedom of expression” in the charter. “That’s what it’s about.”

The City of Richmond, until now, has backed away from including language requirements in the bylaw, preferring to educate and encourage businesses to conform.

Community activist Kerry Starchuk — who has campaigned for, among other things, more English to be incorporated into all kinds of communication in the city — said she was very surprised by Monday’s development.

She did, however, stop short of any kind of celebration, citing the fact that the city’s signs are only a small part of a much bigger problem.

“They’re on the right track, I guess, but in terms of getting this resolved, as a community, there’s a long, long way to go,” said Starchuk on Tuesday morning.

“There will still be literature coming to my door in foreign languages and vans driving through the neighbourhood with no English on it. We’re talking about the whole thing here, (the city) is only changing the business signs.”

Starchuk acknowledged that it was a “slight move forward,” but bemoaned the fact that

three councillors and the mayor are still against promoting English on business signs in Richmond.

“I’m not going to be happy until it’s 100 per cent resolved,” she added, suggesting that B.C. should bring in a language law similar to Quebec.

The City of Richmond is tabling recommendations for a new business sign bylaw to lessen the impact of cluttered advertisements on windows and sidewalks.

The “clutter bylaw,” as it has been referred to by many, is the product of city council’s direction to lessen the impact of foreign language signs and unregulated ads, without expressly implementing language provisions, until this week.

According to a city staff report, one of the rising complaint categories is real estate signs, which, under the new bylaw, would be restricted to four per development.

Residents angered over spaces Dear Editor, Re: “Ticketed during bike to work week,” News, June 2, 2017.

I am one of the many frustrated home owners who lives in the 3100 block of Francis Road.

Mr Ribi needs to look at the other side of this coin.

The Seafair West development at 3080 Francis Road was built with every homeowner having two car garages, either tandem style or side-by-side.

Over the years, owners have legally or illegally finished part of their garages with an extra room, as has Mr. Ribi and his mom. In addition to that, when Mr. Ribi and his mom have someone visit their home, they have the use of 24 visitor parking stalls for them to park in.

Now the city has allowed a developer to build 12 single-family homes fronting the 3100 block of Francis Road that are not part of the strata complex, and yes we all have double car garages, but we have no luxury of 24 visitor parking stalls or long driveways for our gardeners who sometimes have to haul their equipment a block to reach our homes. Or, our elderly parents who come to visit can’t park anywhere near our homes because the residents of 3080 Francis Road, who have the luxury of 24 parking stalls at their disposal, choose to go off to work or vacation and leave their vehicles parked in front of our homes, thus blocking the parking spaces.

We live in an area that many people come to walk their dogs, have a picnic, or run on the dyke. These people come and go, turning the parking over unlike the townhome owners.

My opinion is that if the strata and city have allowed so many of you to finish areas in your garages, then maybe they

n Marcus Ribi is trying to save some money on gas and do his bit for the environment by cycling to work. But his mom’s townhouse has only one parking spot and he can’t leave his car on the street near the complex without getting a parking ticket.Photo by Alan Campbell/Richmond News

should allow you to use the 24 parking stalls that sit empty almost every night and day.

Mr. Ribi, you are part of your strata, so get a petition going with the owners to have your strata open the 24 empty parking stalls for the residents’ use; I am confident that along with the other 18 violators that park out on Francis Road on a regular basis — with everything from commercial, school and electrical plumbing trucks — that you will have great support.

Next time you choose to cry a river about Bike to Work Week and getting a warning ticket, think of where that homeowners’

gardener or guest might park when they come to visit them after you have left your car in front of their house from the night before, until you return from work.

The only reason the street may have been empty when the Richmond News came to visit is because the city has been working with us frustrated homeowners to help keep you violators moving, so our gardeners and caregivers and repair people can park closer to our homes.

Next time please think about what and how the other side might be feeling Dave Dennison Richmond

Don’t act like you can’t farm Dear Paul Edwards, Re: “Down to Earth talk about real farming,” Letters, June 2, 2017.

I run a small farm and produce delivery business that supplies the finest restaurants and hotels in Vancouver, Richmond, West Vancouver, and beyond.

You know what I’m finding? I can’t buy enough stuff. Producers regularly run out of specialty items such as sunchokes and garlic, which I have to source from as far away as Kamloops. I cannot find a good source of asparagus or shelling peas, and the current wholesale price of organic romaine lettuce is currently $90 per case!

Here’s how you can make a nice side income off your little hobby farm: Instead of shaming the NDP and Green Party, lets do a little math — as a good capitalist, I live off this kinda stuff.

You have a third of an acre that you could potentially cultivate specialty crops on. If you have 120’ beds on 6’ centres you’d

have about 20 rows.

If you were to do a few different crops such as sunchokes, asparagus, skirret, etc., you’d gross at the very least $800 per row. That brings us a total of $16,000 you could make as a part-time job in a bad year. If you were a good gardener, you could bump that up to $50,000 without much difficulty. You could supply Discovery Organics, Pro Organics, Whole Foods, or any number of other establishments and they’d buy everything that you can produce.

So assuming a total property tax deduction of $5,000 per annum because of farming activities, and the fact that you can now write off anything that can be called a business expense, we have a total tax benefit for you of over $6,000 plus a side income of between $10,000-$40,000.

Instead of writing about what qualifies as a farm and calling people socialist tree-huggers, why don’t you go buy some seeds?

Happy gardening!

Miles Smart Richmond

LETTERSto the Editor

Drive in my shoes

Bridge plan is not about democracy

Open letter to Malcolm Brodie: Please spend a month commuting through the Massey Tunnel both ways during peak hours, and let’s see if your opinion on the bridge proposal is the same.

Sitting in your cozy office at Richmond City Hall you have lost touch with the people’s needs. Population density increases mean we need more avenues to move around the Lower Mainland. You were mayor when the Canada Line was built; did I hear you say you wanted it extended out to Surrey and Ladner?

During your term, you have destroyed Richmond by overbuilding, without expanding major road arteries. I honestly don’t think you travel out of Richmond during peak hours, otherwise you would understand the traffic bottlenecks that working people are encountering.

Rustom Dubash Richmond

The Editor, Fake news is endemic in today’s world, especially if one does not get one’s way politically.

A recent letter in the Delta Optimist made erroneous claims about the Massey Tunnel replacement bridge; that the decision by the Horgan/Weaver alliance abandoning the new bridge is undemocratic and, “The tunnel has five years left before it starts to fail and become a threat to those who drive through it.”

The now reported $12 billion bridge was strictly a political decision and abandoning its construction will, once again, be a political decision.

Also, the tunnel is perfectly safe with a long life to come if properly maintained.

The problem: The last bridge built, crossing the North Arm of the Fraser to Vancouver, the Arthur Laing Bridge, opened in 1975, bringing the total number of traffic lanes entering Vancouver from Richmond to six.

Today, there is still only six traffic lanes entering Vancouver, but the popula-

tion increase in Richmond and South Delta/Surrey has increased to over 400,000.

The Massey Tunnel today, with counter-flow lanes plays an important role in traffic calming, preventing massive gridlock on Highway 99, Steveston Highway and other arterial roads in Richmond.

Building this monster bridge,

with its L.A.-style “spaghetti junction” interchanges will effectively move gridlock to Steveston Highway and Highway 99.

The Canada Line is no help because, in an attempt to hide a $2-billion cost overrun, Gordon Campbell’s Liberal government had the project truncated to such an

extent it has only 40-metre long station platforms.

With the Port Authority, now seemingly washing their hands of bringing Panama Max. tankers and colliers up the Fraser, due to the cost of dredging the South Arm, the need for this “back of an envelope” designed mega bridge is gone.

What is desperately needed is sound and honest transportation planning for the Vancouver/Richmond and South Delta/Surrey and not “back of the envelope” planning, designed to benefit friends of the government, who “pay to play”.

VOICES on Wine

Enjoy a rose « little afternoon in Provence ERICHANSON Sips Happen

M

any of us don’t have the time or money to spend twelve months in the south of France as Peter Mayle did in 1989 with his best selling memoir, “A Year in Provence.” But you can certainly spend an afternoon on your patio surrounded by the best selling wines of Provence, the rosés.

Wines from Provence are featured at BCLDB Signature Liquor Stores throughout June. Most rosés in the past were underwhelming. They were sweet and made from mediocre reds and whites blended together. But rosés from Provence are tres différent!

One of the wines from Provence you will be able to enjoy, the Roubine 2016 La Vie en Rose ($22.99), won the Gold Medal in 2016 for the best Provence rosé. It’s in a beautiful painted bottle that stands out in a crowd and makes the gorgeous salmon-orange coloured wine inside really sparkle.

Produced from 60 per cent Tibouren and 40 per cent Cinsault grapes, the peach bouquet is enticing, as is the raspberry/strawberry/rhubarb flavour with its bone-dry minerality.

The Roubine is the most delicate rosé of today’s selection.

Sipping it listening to Edith Piaf sing La Vie en Rose would be an elegant combination.

Next on my tasting menu is the S de la Sablette 2016 Cote de Provence ($22.99) from vineyards located between Marseilles and Cannes. While it does not have the amazing bottle appeal La Vie en Rose has, it is more like a red rosé because

it has more oomph.

One reason for the larger personality is that the S de la Sablette is made from four different red grapes: Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, Tibouren, and Syrah. Like all Provencal rosés, the juice is left to steep with the skins for only a short time to extract some colour and character. There’s a seductive rose petal nose, more acidity and minerality, more body, more flavour with the strawberry, orange, and watermelon.

My final recommendation is the Gassier Organic 2016 Coteaux d’Aix en Provence ($21.99). It’s produced from three Mediterranean grapes: 50 per cent Grenache, 20 per cent Cinsault, and 30 per cent Syrah and has more personality than the S. I adored its generous bouquet of raspberry, red currant, citrus and peach. The flavour is more complex with red fruit and slightly bitter orange zest. And after you swallow, there is a long finish to savour.

Wines from Provence are very versatile and go with so many dishes. The elegant La Vie en Rose would go well with lobster spaghetti with fresh tomatoes. The slightly more complex S de la Sablette and Gassier Organic would be delicious with a baguette slider of canned tuna, anchovy, tapenade, with tomato onion and basil.

Ironwood and Brighouse stores are featuring these and other Provencal rosés throughout June. All three of today’s rosés are ideal partners as you sit in your garden and contemplate all that is rosy in your life.

Inclusivity always on the minds of these teachers Graeme Wood

n Ray Yoo and Eve Minuk are t resource teachers who two have been awarded for their w work to include special needs sstudents in many school activitties Photos submitted.

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

T

wo Richmond teachers have been recognized by Inclusion BC for their work in advancing the causes of students with developmental disabilities inside the classroom.

Ray Yoo, a resource teacher at Homma elementary, and Eve Minuk, a resource teacher at MacNeill secondary, both received the 2017 National Inclusive Education Award for exemplary leadership from the Canadian Association of Community Living and Inclusion BC, two non-profit organizations dedicated to advancing rights and building awareness for people with developmental disabilities.

Danielle Kelliher, spokesperson for Inclusion BC, noted Yoo has worked closely with teachers to promote mingling students of all abilities in small work groups — an approach that has proven successful and spread to other projects and events around the school.

“Yoo goes above and beyond to make sure students with special needs are meaningfully included in his classroom and on basketball, volleyball and cheer teams, breakfast club and lunchtime activities such as chess and knitting,” said Kelliher.

Lisa Cowell, parent and manager with Richmond Society for Community Living (RSCL), said she has been impressed with Yoo’s ability to get all kids to participate in activities.

Meanwhile, Minuk has “shown extraordinary leadership” throughout her career as a life skills learning resource teacher, said Kelliher.

“Minuk goes above and beyond to make sure that students with special needs are included in all aspects of school life, not only in regular classes but also in social activities. She works with classroom teachers to see the students’ learning needs are being met and promotes and showcases

inclusion throughout the school,” said Kelliher.

Fellow teacher Marcy Timmins said Minuk always ensures inclusion is considered during staff meetings.

Furthermore, “she is often the link for parents who are navigating their way through unfamiliar territory as their children are preparing to transition out of high school,” said Timmins.

Minuk also sits on the board of RSCL and is a council member at Community Living BC, noted Kelliher.

The two will not have to go far to receive their awards, which will be presented at Inclusion BC’s annual learning event in Richmond on June 14, 2017, as part of a full-day Inclusive Education Summit.

Board of Education chair Debbie Tablotney praised Yoo and Minuk’s work.

“This has been a value for the district for many years.

I think we were one of the first districts to go to full inclusion several years ago.

It’s a value we hold dear.”

Tablotney said children without special needs gain an understanding of one another by being in an inclusive environment with those who do.

She said the district is reviewing “Policy 100,” or mission of values and this issue is “at the forefront for us.”

The district recently held a learning seminar where diversity was a strong value for the district.

“We’ve got to go to every length to include (special needs students),” said Tablotney.

That’s why the new owners at the Pharamsave Steveston Village location are holding a customer appreciation day during what’s commonly known as the country’s biggest Canada Day party on July 1.

Josephine Leonard, who is part of the new, family-run, ownership group who took over running the location last year, said the opportunity to express their gratitude to customers, who they consider to be friends, on a day of great celebration is perfect.

“Our whole ownership group will be here, talking with everyone and handing out tons of samples,” she said. “But most of all, we just want to introduce ourselves

to people and tell them how grateful we are for welcoming us to the community.

“We love to give back to the community that supports us.

Without them — the people who walk through our front door — we wouldn’t be here.

We want to show Richmond that we are their destination pharmacy for the entire family, including their furry family members because of our line of pet products.”

To help celebrate that, the staff and owners will be hosting their own party on the sidewalk outside the No. 1 Road and Moncton location from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. During that time the pharmacy staff will be there to meet and greet visitors and hand out all kinds of free samples, including skin care products from Di Morelli and Viva Organic Skin Care,

“We want to keep everything in line with our focus of health and wellness,” Leonard said.

And what would a customer appreciation day be without a sale? So, there will be a discount of 10 per cent on store purchases, with some exceptions.

In addition, the staff will be able to tell customers about some of the unique services the pharmacy provides, such as specialty compounding of prescriptions — essentially, making medications from scratch.

“We also work closely with physicians to come up with solutions to various conditions such as pain management, which can greatly beneXt the patient.”

Pharmacy offers 'old school' options From page 12 And while that may sound so old school, the beneXts have the potential to be signiXcant.

“I’ll use my mom as an example,” Leonard said. “She was on a medication that had a certain red colour in it that she was allergic to. But at the time, there was no alternative to it which had the active ingredient without the red colour.

So, the pharmacists working at the family’s other location in Cloverdale, where compounding has been done for the past 20 years, were able to formulate the medicine and leave out the colouring.

“We do compounding for babies, animals, anyone who needs it,” Leonard said, adding while, today, it may be a rare service offered by pharmacies,

there are still a good number of requests for it from clients and even other pharmacies.

“Other pharmacies get compounds from us because we have a greater repertoire and special equipment. Plus, with our connection to the Cloverdale store we have a large, compounding lab there.”

The ability to compound can also tailor the medicines to help ensure the client — either children or even pets — takes the required dose by adding more palatable Wavours or customizing the strength.

“Since we took over here, we’ve been able to expand our scope of practice to offer compounds that were not available before,” Leonard said.

“It’s like going back to the roots of medicine and Xlling

in the gaps. And the demand for compounding is growing signiXcantly as patients learn how they can beneXt from this service.”

Overall, the customer appreciation day is about pharmacy staff and owners putting themselves front and centre.

“We’re really trying to show people who we are,” Leonard said. “And we want to cater our services to the individual’s needs. We also want to establish that our customers are like part of our family.

“Purchasing and taking over an existing business can be scary. But we’ve had people come and seek us out and introduce themselves and say they are happy to have us here, which is such a nice thing to hear.”

Ask A Professional Q:

What are my options in changing the executor of my Will?

A:

You can change the named executor in your Will two ways. One way is to make a new Will, which you can do at any time. A new Will normally revokes any prior Wills that you have made. The second way is by way of a “Codicil”, which is a legal addendum to a Will, whereby you can change, delete or add clauses to your Will. To be legal, the Codicil must be signed and witnessed in the same manner as the Will. The Codicil must refer to the original Will that is being amended.

Once executed, it must be placed with or attached to the original Will, and becomes a valid part of the Will. The decision is whether to make a new Will or prepare a Codicil.

If the Codicil is lost, misplaced, removed or destroyed the original Will will stand.

It is a potential penalty clause contained in almost all property policies and comes into effect in partial loss where a client under-insures the property by more than the co-insurance factor (typically 90%) The implementation is best explained as a math formula of “Did” divided by “Should” times the “Loss”.

The insured limit is $750,000 with 90% and suffers a loss of $250,000 but the building should have been insured for $1,000,000.

Applying the formula: $750,000 x 90% (did) x $1,000,000 (should) Payout to client =’s $168,750

$250,000 (loss)

The way to avoid this clause is to be aware of the replacement cost by means of appraisals or cost calculators. Of course we are always happy to assist you with any insurance questions.

Rob, When I flush my toilet I hear a hollow, thumping sound coming from my bathtub drain.

This toilet has never worked very well.

Do you think something might be plugged up.

Governments are notorious for writing laws that have unintended consequences. One of them is CASL, the new tax grab from the feds that clamps down on legitimate businesses and not-for-profits that want to send you an e-mail or two. CASL is anti-spam legislation that doesn’t work but we’re going to be force fed rules and regulations under the threat of massive multi-million dollar fines anyway.

How bad is CASL, Canada’s new anti-spam Q: law?

So how does a high-tech firm such as Amuleta now send out mail to our potential client base? The old-fashioned way, by printing paper and mailing it.

A chiropractor can also adjust your ankle, knee, wrist, elbow, jaw and shoulder joints. Proper movement of joints is directly dependent upon their alignment. As an alignment specialist, your chiropractor is concerned with the proper function of every joint in your body.

A chiropractor’s primary focus however is usually the spine as it protects the nervous system which controls all organs and cells in the body. Adjusting spinal joints relieves nerve pressure which can help your body work better on many levels including improving energy, posture, organ function, muscular tension and stress.

Any time you feel pain or experience restricted range of motion, or hear noises coming from your joints, you should talk to your chiropractor – an adjustment may be just what you need to restore normal joint motion and improve overall health.

Hi Sam, The first place we would look is the toilet. Is something lodged inside it?

A child’s toy, a bottle cap? It will still work in many cases, but not work very well. Removing the toilet, and inspecting the trap will usually confirm if there is an obstruction. The next thing we would look for is a plugged plumbing vent. In order for the drains in your home to work, they need to be able to draw in air. If you look on top of your roof, you will most likely see one or more black or grey pipes in the vicinity of your bathroom or kitchen. These are your plumbing vents. If they become plugged, that hollow thumping noise you hear coming from your bathtub, is air being sucked in through the bathtub overflow.

This is a good indicator that you’ve got a plugged plumbing vent. In single family homes, auguring the plumbing vents down from your roof, will usually clear this up. In multi-unit complexes, we follow this up with hipressure water flushing.Your toilet will work like a charm, (and without the added sound effects.)

Ask A Professional Q: Is walking or running better for fat loss?

A:

weather’s finally here, but my legs aren’t Q: Shorts ready! What can I do to get rid of my SPIDER and

VARICOSE VEINS? They make me so self-conscious…

This is always a difficult question to field, as there’s a lot of debate around the subject. It bears working through.

A:

Lets assume that there are two main ways to do cardio work for fat-loss.

The first is very light exercise, where the heart rate beats at around 105-120 beats per minute and there is little or no barrier to recovery.

The second is highly intensive training, where your heart rate is pushed up close to its max, which functions to stimulate your metabolism and burn excess fuel.

Light exercise benefits from operating within the ‘fat burning zone’, meaning that proportionately you burn more calories from fat (though less calories overall) in comparison to other forms of exercise. A second benefit is that you can basically do as much of it as you like, as you don’t need time to recover from your exertions.

Highly intensive training however, stimulates your metabolism to burn fat far quicker, but must be respected and given adequate recovery time.

With that all established, the crucial thing I find when working with clients is that a typical run manages to be neither one nor the other. The heart rate on a jog will not be optimal for fat loss, and the duration of the workout is often too long to benefit from the ‘in and out’ nature of intensive training. In fact, running can even bring about a negative change in your body composition. If you are not careful with your nutrition when running frequently, you run the risk of depleting your body’s glycogen stores, forcing your body to convert existing muscle into fuel for your workout. Consequently you lose muscle weight, leaving you with a higher proportion of fat in your body.

My answer to the question is that walking and sprinting are both excellent ways to burn fat. Leave the jogging for running events, not fat loss.

First of all, thank you for writing almost half my column for me. This company that travels around the county is one of the lowest paying places you could take your gold or coins to. Any reputable dealer in Canada pays more than they do.

I like to think that we are one of the highest paying dealers and it seems most of our reviews online agree with that. Our gold testing machine uses technology to tell the Karat of gold and the exact elemental composition of your gold. We also use it to test all gold coins and gold bars. The stone and acid technique is very old school and you have no idea how accurate they are doing that.

We buy gold and silver coins from Monday to Saturday 9:30am - 6:00pm. Gold jewelry has to come in on my days Monday, Wednesday or Friday. I alternate between my two stores so as to keep customers happy.

HOMEOPATHICS are often used in patients with circulation problems because they have no side-effects and do not interact with any medications the patient may already be on.

AESCULUS COMPOSITUM and VENOFLUID are often used orally for venous health. There is also a topical VARICOSE VEIN CREAM or OINTMENT which can both strengthen and tighten the superficial veins. The cream is preferred for the legs (while the ointment is for haemorrhoids).

Dry skin on the legs can make spider and varicose veins look more noticeable. A good topical moisturizer, such as DRENCHED BODY BUTTER by K’Pure Naturals, applied on a daily basis can help. Taking an oral triglyceride-form omega-3 supplement such as those by METAGENICS or NUTRASEA can help moisturize from the inside out. Benefits for dry skin conditions can be felt within days of starting these supplements.

GRADUATED COMPRESSION STOCKINGS may be necessary, especially if their varicose veins are causing symptoms such as fatigue, pressure, and /or pain. Compression stockings are made of special elastic fibres and are designed to fit quite tightly around the ankle and gradually less so as you move up the leg. The idea is to have the fibres in the fitted stocking help massage the legs in order to return blood to the heart to prevent pooling in the legs.

There are many styles, sizes, and strengths of compression stockings to cater to various needs, so it is crucial that you speak with a CERTIFIED COPRESSION STOCKNIG FITTER at Pharmasave Steveston Village in order to pick the right ones for you and to have you sized properly. Check with your physician or pharmacist if you already have a blood clot because there are special considerations for the timing of starting blood-thinners and compression stockings in such cases.

Please comment on some specific anti-aging services at Richmond Cosmetics in Ironwood Medical Clinic?

Dr. Manoj Singhal is the Medical Director and Cosmetic Specialist and oversees all of the clinic’s procedures.

Dermatological fillers are used for lip enhancement and many other anti-aging procedures.

For many it all starts in the cheeks with refilling the lost volume creating higher cheek bones which improves facial attractiveness.

We use other fillers to lessen the bags under the eyes and allow for a more refreshed youthful appearance.

Other common areas are the lateral mouth and “marionette lines” to allow for a more refreshed and youthful appearance. We use filler to enhance the chin especially if there are deficiencies with lost volume.

We use Belkyra for permanent treatment of the double chin which is an area that many find great satisfaction in treating.

Forehead wrinkles, frown lines and laugh lines or crow’s feet are treated with neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport which relaxes muscles to soften the wrinkles that start with aging. This leaves a smoother and younger appearance. Many people have been familiar with Botox for many years.

We won’t be satisfied unless our client is satisfied. We believe that looking good is great and then feeling good is absolutely priceless.

Please see our website at www.IronwoodMedicalClinic.com For a safe, non-surgical and natural cosmetic enhancement, it is vital to seek out an experienced physician with an aesthetic vision.

This will bring out your best features and allow you to look and feel your best. Please call or email us for a FREE consultation.

Q: A:

By Frederick Cheng, R.Ph. and Christine Cheng, R.Ph.

What can I do in advance to be Q: prepared in the event of my unexpected

Q:

I received a flyer in the mail regarding a company advertising to buy gold and silver coins, as well as gold jewelry. They showed all the places that they were going to be and claimed to pay the highest. I took a small amount of coins and a large amount of gold jewelry to them. I was quite unhappy with want they offered and did not sell to them.

The next day I came into your store and showed you the same jewelry. Your offer was almost double what they had offered me.

I watched you test some of the gold with a large machine and you showed me what Karat gold it was.

That other company did something with a stone to my jewelry and then told me what the total price was they would pay me.

You had everything listed by the Karat and had different prices based on the Karat. How can this work this way?

Both conditions arise from dilated veins that are less resilient which tend to “stretch” when filled with blood, thus supplements that benefit venous health should be considered. These include VEINSMART by Lorna Vanderhaeghe, CIRCUVEIN by Flora Health, WOBENZYM N, and DIOSMIN-HMC by Thorne Research. They work through different mechanisms so they can be used together. VEINSMART is a set of herbal astringents, including diosmin, horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, and hesperidin which work together to help tighten the veins in your body to help return blood to the heart. WOBENZYM N is highly popular in Europe and has been available at our pharmacies for 20 years. It is a collection of enzymes (pancreatin, papain, bromelain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, rutin) that can reduce inflammation and swelling as well as improve blood properties for enhanced flow throughout the circulatory system.

The flavonoids in DIOSMIN-HMC work together with Vitamin C to strengthen veins, promote lymphatic drainage, and improve circulation. An interesting tidbit about all these products is that they can also benefit hemorrhoid sufferers. (Circuvein is also marketed as “Hemoraid” for this reason.) Although these are natural health products, they do have contraindications, so be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist before supplementing.

The Real Estate industry’s average percentage, of homes being sold by cooperating agents is 75%-80%.

This percentage is the SAME for 1% Realty.

The internet is changing every industry, the Real Estate industry is resisting change..but change is here. Sites like realtor.ca are enabling buyers to search for homes using detailed criteria at their own convenience, allowing them to select exactly which properties they wish to see and buy. The Realtor’s® role in searching for homes has been greatly reduced. Realtors® have lost control on which properties get shown. Pre-internet, only REALTORS® had access to all the listings and this information was fiercely protected. In fact it was a very serious breach of the Real Estate Board rules to make MLS catalogues available to the public.

A:

Q: What is a Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid? A Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid is a special type of A: hearing aid, which is different from a traditional hearing aid. Traditional hearing aids transmit sounds through air conduction, while Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids are based on bone conduction transmission. That means Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids transmit sounds by direct conduction through bone to the inner ear, bypassing the external ear canal and middle ear.

Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids are designed and used to treat patients with conductive/mixed hearing loss or single sided deafness, or people with chronic ear infections or congenital external auditory canal atresia who cannot use air conduction (traditional) hearing aids.

A Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid consists of three components: the titanium fixture, the abutment and the external sound processor. A minor surgery is needed to place the fixture behind the “non-functioning” ear. Different colours are available to match skin tone or hair colour.

Please contact a hearing professional or a physician for detailed information.

As a Seller, how do I prepare for Q: showings and Open Houses?

A:

— Unclutter your home – if that means putting stuff in storage, please do it! (garage, basement, locker) — Clean it, make it sparkle .. outside and in .. create ‘street appeal’ to improve first impressions — Remove pets/ litter boxes/ food dishes whenever humanly possible during showings — Make your kitchen and bathrooms smell nice, look clean, and make the shiny things sparkle — Be flexible to showing times, on reasonable notice, perhaps allow certain time frames...

— Give your Realtor® a key and the alarm code, and know that sometimes short-notice showings happen — Make sure the electric panel, furnace, hot water tank are easy to get to and view — Put away all valuables, big or small (jewelry, valuable art items) and leave them hidden 24/7 — Turn your answering machine volume down so your calls/messages aren’t heard by everyone — Grease the sticky locks, the creaky doors, the stubborn drawers..

— Make sure everything ‘works’....doorbell, locks, light switches, fans..

The MOST IMPORTANT thing to do is to listen to your Realtor’s® advice.

Meet with them before you start your showings, and then take some time to prepare your home so that Buyers are impressed. The more things that need to be repaired, the lower your offers will be, so be ready. Some Realtors® don’t see the benefit to doing open houses, and some of us do! Have that discussion with your Realtor® right up front, and make that decision. If you are not working with a Realtor®, and have questions, I would love to hear from you. I’m ready when you are..

The general rule is six months after eruption of the first tooth, but not later than first birthday.

Taking your child to the dentist at a young age is the best way to prevent problems such as tooth decay, and can help parents learn how to clean their child’s teeth and identify his or her fluoride needs.

This first visit isn’t for doing any real work. It’s really about introducing your child to the dentist’s office, allowing your child to explore various instruments and even take a ride in the chair.

It allows the dentist to do a quick examination, looking for decay. He will also check your child’s gums, jaw, and bite, keeping an eye out for bottle caries, fraenum issues, or other problems that may affect teeth or speech patterns. The dentist will also probably talk to you about good oral hygiene, healthy diet and allow you to ask any questions you may have. You may even want to bring a list of questions to the appointment.

From the first visit onward, dentist recommends that children come in every six months, unless an issue comes up that needs correction, such as a lisp, teeth grinding or mouth breathing.

Busy students a neighbourhood fixture GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

student-led community garden is now firmly entrenched as a positive contribution to the Homma elementary neighbourhood, at the end of Railway Avenue, just a stone’s throw from Steveston’s Britannia Heritage Shipyards.

About two dozen plots planted and harvested by the students occupy the south end of the Railway Corridor community garden, providing students with an opportunity to learn about any subject under the sun — literally.

What has developed in the gardens since 2010 — when the Richmond Food Security Society, Richmond School District and City of Richmond devised a plan to transform an overgrown, underused patch of grass that once served as a rail connec-

tion to the shipyards — are things many long-time Richmondites say are being lost amidst a rapidly changing city: a colourful place of learning and neighbourly interactions.

The land is owned by the city and the society, which coordinates the adjacent public plots, is autonomous of the school’s plots; although they share in the efforts of building this urban oasis.

After years of “relationship building” between the three groups, teacher Megan Zeni brings about 260 students from 11 classes into the school’s garden space weekly, to teach mostly science but also social science, literacy, art and math.

For science, as an example, Zeni has built the “Bug Hotel” to teach students about different insects that may help, or hinder, crops. And newly-planted flowers and shrubs along the fences serve to teach kids about pollination.

“There’s also the First People’s principles of learning; so patience and time. Well, where better do you teach that than in a garden!” said Zeni.

“There’s nothing in the new curriculum that can’t be taught out here. I can teach anything out here,” said Zeni of the new student-led learning methods being employed by the Ministry of Education.

n New, wooden roundtables at a transformed Homma School Learning Gardens allow children to learn about various subjects while outdoors. The City of Richmond has provided the Richmond School District with the land, in a unique arrangement that fosters several aspects of learning and neighbourly engagement. Photo by Megan Zeni

Not everything is calculated and by the textbook — anything but, as fun and free play are key components of the outdoor classroom; case in point the soon-to-beconstructed “Dig Pit.” “Some kids just love digging,” quipped Zeni.

For her and the students, the Homma School Learning Gardens is a labour of passion.

“I’ve always enjoyed gardening. It’s something I’ve done in my personal life.

And I’ve been intereste interested in the research around how this benefits children’s emotional, physical and mental health; and when I started working out here with my own class I saw an enormous increase in children’s ability to focus in the classroom,” explained Zeni.

The gardens have recently doubled in size, after students and district staff weeded much of the space near the south fence, to create beautiful, new plots. With some district and grant money, a new shed was built, and sitting logs were installed, as were three round, wooden tables for students to write and colour.

Zeni has reached out to businesses to support the kids: Whole Foods installed irrigation hoses and Westcoast Seeds has provided seeds. This, of course, is on top of parental support from various school fundraisers.

Additional emotional support for the children may also come by way of neighbours passing by and saying hello to them.

The only hindrance Zeni is working to deter is theft. So, she has parents volunteer to weed and water plants throughout the summer. Parents may also help harvest crops in the summer, although Zeni tries to plan pickings for June and September.

“It’s strategic. So there’s your math lesson. So, how many days are there from planting to germination to harvest? There’s a lot of math on a seed package,” said Zeni.

Volunteer RYBL coaches oversee city hoop factory Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

W

hen Chris Kennedy left his teaching position for greater career challenges elsewhere, he looked for another alternative to give back to his hometown. The Richmond Youth Basketball League (RYBL) welcomed him with open arms.

Over a decade later, one of the province’s most-respected hoop coaches remains heavily involved in the non-profit program that is the unofficial factory for developing talent for all of Richmond’s high school teams.

Kennedy can be found in local gyms on Friday nights overseeing RYBL’s various age groups and, remarkably, he does this from September until June.

His dedication was recognized at the recent Richmond Sports Awards when the West Vancouver Superintendent of Schools/ CEO was presented with the Don Fennell Award of Distinction.

A year earlier, Tim Carkner was honoured

by Basketball B.C. for his outstanding work with RYBL’s girls program. Sean Berda, Dave Giesbrecht and Harley Rollins are other invaluable volunteer coaches who have poured hours of their lives into the organization.

They are doing their best to keep up with the ever-growing passion for basketball and producing impressive talent too.

Since RYBL is run through the City of Richmond, the year-round program has access to high school and community gyms.

■ RYBL boys rep teams recently swept all three titles at the recent 3D Basketball Spring Showcase

Throw in “volunteer” instruction and the only costs involved for rep players are tournament entry fees, uniforms and referees.

“It’s keeping some kids in it who otherwise couldn’t afford the game. I think there is a bit of a misconception out there. There is some real financial diversity in Richmond,” said Kennedy. “What RYBL does is make sure all the kids play. We figure it out through grants such as KidSport Richmond.”

RYBL is currently winding down its rep season, which runs from late March until the end of June, and includes U12, U13 and U14 boys teams.

All three were recently victorious at the 3D Basketball Spring Showcase — beating club and academy teams from across the province. The U14 squad also captured the RBL Vancouver Spring League.

The campaign will conclude at the West-

ern Canadian Championships, which takes place June 29-July 2.

The interest for RYBL’s rep teams this season was staggering.

More teams would have been created if there were more coaches to support it.

The program not only attracts kids from the RYBL regular winter program but players wanting to prepare for their first-season of school basketball.

“Hundreds come out for rep basketball.

Absolutely we turn kids away because we don’t have enough coaches,” explained Kennedy. “We can accommodate all the kids during the regular season because the commitment schedule is light and often we can get high school students who want to coach.

“The rep program is three times a week plus tournaments and you really need to

attract adults.”

In its fourth season, RYBL’s graduating rep talent is evident on school teams throughout the city. The end result are leagues that feature plenty of parity as more students make basketball their number one sport.

“I think a lot of people thought as Richmond became more multicultural the basketball might drop because it wouldn’t be a priority sport. Opposite. “Now there are actually more talented teams. You’re not just seeing one or two programs,” said Kennedy.

“Some years it’s Richmond, then Cambie goes to provincials. Then it’s McNair. Very different dynamics in each school. Every part of the community has different hot beds.”

Kennedy returned to high school coaching this past season, joining Anne Gillrie-Carre to guide a promising senior girls team at McMath that features his daughter Elizabeth.

She still has three more years of eligibility.

The top 10 ranked Wildcats will be looking to take another step next year and contend with provincial heavyweights. It’s a challenge that will mean more hours in the gym for Kennedy but there will always be time for RYBL programs.

“I look at a guy like Tim and so many times he is in the gym working with other people’s kids and he is coaching his own daughter’s team at McMath too. I think in today’s society, parents spend so little time with other people’s kids,” added Kennedy. “It’s more like if it benefits my child, I will volunteer but it’s hard to build continuity of programs.

They usually excel for a year or two then disappear. What we have tried to do is be in it long term.”

Racoons crowned B.C. club champs Radocaj selected to U16 national team

R

ichmond Youth Basketball League’s U14 Racoons continued their tremendous rep season by capturing last weekend’s U14/U15 Girls Provincial Club Championships at the Langley Events Centre.

The event attracted nine teams — eight from Metro Vancouver and another from the Interior.

The Racoons’ roster features the following Grade 8 players that also enjoyed plenty of success in the high school season at their respective schools: Davian Tsang, Mina Chong, Anngrei Mariano, Francesca Trahan, Olivia Northrup, Kalia Fong, Grace Wallace, Sarah Dawson, Mary Win. Ella Hurst, Jasmine Leung and Kate Carkner.

Coached by Tim Carkner and Paul Teodosio, the Racoons overpowered the U14 Force 81-10 in their opening game. A Saturday morning encounter with the U15 New Heights saw the Racoons’ team speed and tough full court pressure allowed them to pull away for a 59-28 triumph.

The semi-finals later that evening featured outstanding perimeter shooting from Fong, Chong and Tsang as the RYBL side rallied for a 54-51 win against Fraser River #1.

Playing without four of their teammates, the team of eight Raccoons did what they’ve done all season long and took first place with a 59-53 win over Kelowna’s U15 Heat. Mariano led the way with three, 3-pointers.

“This special group of RYBL players

■ Richmond Youth Basketball League’s U14 Racoons rep team rolled to five straight wins to capture the U14/U15 Proviincial Club Championships in Langley.

has proven itself to be one of the top girls basketball teams in the province for the last two plus years,” said Carkner, a longtime volunteer coach

with the organization. “We’re looking forward to our last tournament of the spring season this weekend in West Vancouver.”

Richmond’s Victor Radocaj has been named to Canada’s 12-player roster for next week’s FIBA U16 Americas Championship in Formosa, Argentina.

The 6-foot-7 standout learned he would be in national team colours on Tuesday following an extensive tryout process at the University of Toronto – Mississauga. Radocaj was the lone B.C. player invited to the final 17-player selection camp.

Team Canada will continue to train in Toronto before leaving for Argentina on Friday for pre-tournament training, prior to tipping-off against the host country to open preliminary round play on June 14.

Canada will look to qualify for its fifth consecutive U17 World Championship and is currently ranked No. 3 in the FIBA Youth Men Rankings.

Radocaj came through the Richmond Youth Basketball League (RYBL) before Victor Radocaj moving onto the Richmond Olympic Oval-based DRIVE Academy. Last summer, he played for Basketball B.C.’s U15 provincial team.

He was a dominant force this past high school season with the McMath Wildcats juvenile boys team. He also made his presence felt as a frequent call-up with the Wildcats senior boys team. Radocaj led McMath to a season-opening upset win over No. 1 ranked Steveston-London, scoring a game-high 28 points.
