One dead, two hospitalized after crash on Steveston Highway

One person is dead and two weretaken to hospital after a two-car crashnear Steveston Highway and No. 3Road.The crash happened just after 12:30

p.m. Sunday, about one block east ofthe major intersection at RoselandGate.Richmond RCMP called in the road

safety unit and ICARS to assist in the

investigation, but it’s believed thatone of the vehicles may have crossedthe centre line, possibly as the resultof a medical incident.The investigation is continuing and

it’s not yet clear whether the survivingdriver will face charges or not.The area around the intersection

was closed for several hours Sundayafternoon to allow police to comb thescene.Anyone who witnessed the crash is

asked to contact Richmond RCMP at604-278-1212.

The gloves are off; Richmond has a newpolitical party in the works.Former BC Liberal Party MLA and ex-city

councillor Rob Howard, in front of a groupof about 50 people at the Sheraton VancouverAirport Hotel, publicly launched the RichmondCommunity Coalition.While the group of community leaders

and residents did not table a policy platform,Howard said it will be a non-partisan effortwith the ultimate priority of engaging morepeople politically.“Our grassroots coalition’s goal is to create

more opportunities for Richmond citizens toget involved in municipal government — andget more people voting in the Novembermunicipal election,” said Howard in a newsrelease, published in both English andMandarin.Attending the event were many well-known

community members and volunteers, as wellas BC Liberal MLA John Yap. Also on handwere founding directors, including: SylviaGwozd, former school board trustee; Michael

Chiu, founding member of the RichmondSunset Rotary Club; Wayne Duzita, a directorwith Richmond Tourism and the RichmondOlympic Oval; and Matt Pitcairn, manager ofcommunications and policy at the RichmondChamber of Commerce.At the podium, announcing the party with

Howard, were Richmond resident JulieHalfnights and federal Conservative Partymember and candidate Kenny Chiu, a currentschool board trustee. No candidates have beennamed as of yet and Howard said the selectionprocess will take place over the summer.The main message was civic engagement.“We felt there was a lack of community

input, a lack of opportunity for communityinput in the Richmond landscape. We’re hereto fill that gap,” said Howard.When asked how he would do that, Howard

suggested more town hall meetings.Offering no policies or a political platform,

the real estate professional, who is currentlyworking on developing two seniors homes inRichmond, said the coalition is a non-partisanone that would embrace all political stripes solong as they’re committed to engagement andtransparency.

Howard: Voter turnout reflects engagement

Life’s pecking order ruffles artist’s feathers

Screams and screeches of all creaturesgreat and small belt worryingly out ofBrittani Faulkes’ kitchen, as she explainswhy she loves animals so much.

But one need not fret, or even call 911,nothing or no one is meeting a traumaticend in the Steveston home of artist Faulkes.

She is, in fact, playing a channel onsatellite radio broadcasting animal noises,just so her six, rescued exotic birds don’t gettheir feathers in a flap over the lack of theaforementioned audio.

“If it goes quiet in the wild, they thinkthere’s a predator in the area,” Faulkes said,explaining the unusual ambience.

Her willingness to sacrifice peace andquiet to content her birds is a window intoFaukles’ pecking order of co-existing withanimals.

Who else would be willing to care fora cockatiel called Paco who has no beak,causing his tongue to hang out; a naked lovebird called Sparkplug who picks off his ownfeathers (and sleeps inside Faulkes’ bra when

she’s painting) and an Alexandrie parrotcalled Max, who drops the F-bomb at themost inopportune of moments.

Oh, and two dogs and a cat, as well.“I guess I’m an artist and an advocate for

animals,” said Faulkes, who donates severalpieces of art for auction every year to certainanimal charities.

“I try to donate at least five per year on anas-needed basis.

“I’ve been a member of PETA for 18 years,and I believe animals need a voice to speakfor them and I feel very fortunate to be ableto give back.”

RAPS and Bandaid for Bunnies inRichmond and Greyhaven, an exoticbird haven in Tsawwassen, are all regularbeneficiaries of Faulkes’ work, whichfocuses on giving human characteristics toinanimate objects.

Her last donation, a pastel under glass,fetched around $500 for RAPS at itsHalloween Gala.

And her latest offering to local animalcharities are two pastels, worth around $900,which will be auctioned off at Saturday’sBandaid for Bunnies fundraiser at thePumphouse Taproom on Blundell Road

from 7 p.m.Tickets are $20, which includes a burger

and beer or wine. There will also be a raffle,50/50 and lots of prizes to give away.

The charity is hoping to sell at least60 tickets. If you’re interested in aticket or would like to donate, go tobandaidsforbunnies.wordpress.com.

“Our constitution is so broad it talks aboutlooking for good people who share the idea ofthe value of civic engagement,” said Howard.When asked if he could provide examples

of how the current council has not beenengaging Howard said:“I think we’d prefer to talk about

possibilities versus complaining. We’re hereto address the issue of low voter turnout…address the issue of civic engagement,” hesaid.(Ironically, Richmond Centre, the riding

Howard represented for the BC Liberals,had the second lowest voter turnout in theprovince in 2009 and the lowest in 2013,when Teresa Wat replaced Howard.)Halfnights noted young people need to

have better support to understand issues. Shethen announced a July 15 town hall meeting.Chiu said politicians must tap into

Richmond’s multicultural community whilepreserving core Richmond values.“We are a growing world city that needs

to not only embrace but build upon ourtremendous international trade opportunitiesand cultural connections while protecting ouropen spaces, heritage and island way of life,”said Chiu.Howard said it was important the non-

English speaking community be engaged, as itrepresents more than 60 per cent of the city’spopulation.Current Coun. Ken Johnston attended the

meeting, saying he was there as an “observer.”Johnston recently left the Richmond First

slate voluntarily. He said he would considerwhat the coalition has to offer, however,running as an independent candidate inthe upcoming municipal election, is also apossibility.Richmond First councillor Derek Dang

said he welcomes more political discoursein Richmond, a city that saw just 23 per centvoter turnout for the last municipal electionand generally fares poorly in provincial andfederal elections as well.“I believe there’s always a group of people

who want public office and this time they’regetting together and that’s good for thecommunity to give them choice,” said Dang.The long-time councillor (since 1996) said

he feels the current council does a good job ofreaching out to people, citing many evening

meetings with liaison and advisory groupsthat councillors take part in, not to mentioncommunity events.“I think we go out of our way to get as

much input as we can, in a number of ways,”said Dang.He said there’s a limit to what a councillor

typically publicizes about his or her activitiesat city hall.“We want to be part of the community, but

we don’t want to go around saying we do thisor we do that,” said Dang.Howard said fundraising has begun, and he

expects to name candidates by the fall.Aside from low voter turnout, Richmond

has also seen a shrinking list of candidatesover time. In 2002, 26 people ran for council,whereas in 2011, just 17 people ran.

Around 250or so teacherswaved whilesome passingmotoristshonked theirsupport as a teachers’ rally spilled out ontothe sidewalk outside the constituency office ofMLA Linda Reid at noon Monday.

The event — one of three rallies outsidelocal MLA offices — came the day before afull, province-wide strike was scheduled tostart Tuesday, as the B.C. Teacher’s Federationand BC Public School Employers’ Associationfailed to reach an agreement over the weekendto keep schools in session.

Al Klassen, president of the RichmondTeachers’ Association, said the employer’sproposed roll-back on a wage offer showsthey are unwilling to find a solution.

“In my opinion, they have a vision that theywant to keep education at a very lean level,”Klassen said. “They are at $1,000 less thanwhat the Canadian average is, in terms of perpupil funding. And that seems to be whatthey’re intent on doing.”

As for the prospect of a roll-back in thewage offer, Klassen said the government wasoriginally offering an increase of 7.25 per centover six years and had dropped that by .25 percent when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation hadbrought down its wage demand from 9.75 toeight per cent over five years — albeit witha $5,000 signing bonus. The government’s

original signing bonus offer was $1,200.“It was really disappointing to hear that

the government offered a reduced salaryoffer,” said Ingrid Veilleux, a Grade 7 teacherat McNeely elementary, adding there was noinformation on the issues of class size andcomposition when the teachers gatheredearlier Monday during a declared studysession day that closed schools across B.C.

“I would like to be back in class tomorrow,”she said. “What Christy Clark’s motivationis and how she’s handling these labournegotiations, I don’t know. She says familiesfirst — then put your money where yourmouth is.”

“I am personally just devastated,”added Catherine Liu, a teacher at McNairsecondary. “I am just so saddened by what thegovernment has done. I will not be able to saygoodbye to any of my kids (students).”

If you would like to use acar only on occasion, you’rein luck. City planners arehoping to introduce more carshare spaces and permits aspart of a pilot program withinthe City Centre area comefall.Car sharing company

Car2Go plans to accessa designated car-sharespace at each Canada Linestation as well as obtain 51parking permits from theCity of Richmond in orderto expand its operationbeyond Vancouver and NorthVancouver.The benefits of car sharing

are numerous, accordingto a report by VictorWei, the city’s director oftransportation; not only docar shares reduce carbonemissions and the numberof vehicles on the road,having designated parkingspaces in the city can resultin more people visiting localattractions.Presently, two other

companies have made theirway into the Richmondmarket —Modo atLansdowne station and ZipCar, located at RichmondCentre Mall. Car2Gohas spaces at KwantlenPolytechnic University.

If approved by council,the pilot program willexpand to give Car2Govehicles a designated parkingspace near each of thefour Canada Line stationsas well as access to streetparking spaces and threecity-owned pay parking lotsthroughout the area: GatewayTheatre, Bowling Green andBrighouse. Spaces are alsoavailable at Richmond CityHall.If Car2Go’s Canada Line

spaces are approved. it willleave six more car sharespaces available to othercompanies along the transitline.Car2Go is thought to be

a more flexible car shareprogram as it’s the only onein Metro Vancouver withno reservation system, notime limit on usage andno requirement to returnthe vehicle at the initialpickup point (rather, it canbe dropped off at any otherdesignated location in theregion). Its fleet stands atjust over 500 vehicles with aregional membership base ofnearly 50,000.The company told Wei

it expects to have up to 51vehicles in Richmond at anygiven time during the pilot.Cars parking on the city streetwill be billed automaticallyby the city so users need not

worry about paying. Standardrates apply for parking metersand the city will bill Car2Go$300 annually for CanadaLine spots.The fleet consists of Smart

microcars and users canfind them using a mobileapplication. They comewith an in-car navigationsystem that has all theavailable parking spots pre-programmed.

Strike: Financialimpact being felt‹ from page 4

On the personal financial side, B.C.’s teachers are takinga hit as the BCTF’s strike fund has all but been depletedwith rounds of rotating strikes and a partial lock out by theprovince since the end of May.“Teachers are really facing a hard time because they’ve

lost their salary for the last month,” said Alin Sénécal-Harkin,who teaches at McNeely elementary and reckons that over thepast 33 years, he’s received a zero per cent wage increase in15 of them. “I don’t know of a lot of people who have not hada pay raise in 15 years. But if I account for inflation, I’ve lost.And I can’t make it up.”The RTA’s Klassen added the “rank and file” rally Monday

was meant to draw attention to the issues that need to beresolved.“Our learning conditions need improvement. Our teaching

conditions need to be addressed,” he said.Meanwhile, Education Minister Peter Fassbender says

the government’s proposal is as good as it’s going to get,but declined to say anything more, although he added theprovince will be available to negotiate through the summer ifrequired.But he is hopeful the sides can still reach a settlement

before the end of the school year.—With files from the Vancouver Sun

Letters sent from 56 McKay elementaryschool students to new Vancouver Canuckspresident Trevor Linden have beendescribed by Canucks front office staff as“raw, humourous, priceless and amazingadvice.”They were so well-written the Canucks

published them online at canucks.com forall hockey fans to see. The themes seemedto be consistent: Play hard and with passion,practice lots and stop trading goalies.“They all came from the heart, all were

authentic and represented the way youngpeople view the world. I don’t think I cansay which one was the most special, theyall were,” said McKay principal MarilynTurnbull.Two teachers had their students from

their Grade 5/6 and Grade 1 classes writethe letters a few weeks ago. They werepublished online on Friday.The advice seems rather sage.Joey, Grade 1, feels discipline is the best

advice: “Hi, my name is Joey. I got somereally important advice for you. Tell theplayers don’t go to the penalty box!!!”

David, from Grade 6, was baffled athow the Canucks organization so clearlymismanaged its former goaltenders,Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider: “DearMr. Linden, congratulations on becomingpresident! My advice would be to stopgiving away goalies and instead just traingoalies, so you’ll have good goalies insteadof no goalies.”Linden, a Canucks legend, was named

president after former president Mike Gilliswas relieved of his duties earlier this year.

The Lower Mainland’smayors have donethe insurmountable

— agreed on something.With the mayors’ council on

regional transportation reportlast week, we got a look at whattransportation infrastructurecould (and should) be in thedecades ahead.With the exception of

Burnaby’s Mayor DerekCorrigan, whose community isalready well-served by transit,the mayors have a list of priorityprojects and a plan to pay forthem.The problem is, the B.C.

Liberals promised in theircampaign that these badlyneeded improvements to ourinfrastructure will only getdone if Lower Mainland votersfeel like paying for them andapprove that in a referendum.It’s rare to find anyone who

will volunteer to pay more taxwhen given the option.We’ve spent the last 100

years building more roadswith more lanes to service oursprawl and it is bankruptingus, lowering our quality of lifeand polluting our atmospherebeyond repair.And still we sit in traffic

jams. It spits in the face ofefficiency.While we pay dearly for

highways and bridges in ourtaxes we still absurdly regardroads as “free” and transit anice-to-have in need of subsidy.With the proper investment it

deserves, transit will no longerbe for those who can’t afforda car. It will be a desirablealternative.As the mayor of Bogota, once

one of the most congested citiesin the word, said: “A developedcountry is not a place where thepoor have cars. It’s where therich use public transportation.”

Don’t go back to the bad old days

There’s been a lot ofwhining about strikesin the last few…well,

years really. Teachers strike,truckers strike, bus driversstrike, civic workers strike, eventug boat crews can go on strike.And then the complaining.Oh, the rending of the clothing and

the sobbing is heard far and wide! Theinconvenience of it all! The terrible, terribleinconvenience!Yes, of course it’s annoying. Of course it’s

disruptive. It is meant to be disruptive! But ina mild and entirely dull way.Have you considered the alternative to

disruption, screwed up schedules, extraexpenses, lost profits, lost wages? Do youknow what strikes were like a hundred yearsago?Before the calm and ordered picket line,

and before labour laws and arbitrationde-fanged striking and lockouts, there waspretty much just violence. Vicious, low-gradewarfare between large industrial employers,governments, and workers.

Between the 1870s and the late1920s, typical tactics employedacross NorthAmerica included:!Open threats of violence!Use of scab labour!Hiring strikebreakers, which

could include armies of goons or company“police officers”! Cutting off water and electricity in

company towns!Arson! Bombings!Assassinations!Assassinations through arson or bombing! Bringing in the armyConsider the case of 5’4” Nova Scotia coal

miner Bill Davis, killed when company policecharged striking miners on horseback in 1925.The company was determined to break theunion; the union had pledged to starve ratherthan give in.Then there was Ginger Goodwin, a

Vancouver Island miner who was consideredunfit for service in the First World War dueto black lung. When he tried to organize astrike, he was mysteriously reclassified and

ordered to join up andship out. He went onthe lam and was shotdead in 1918.While labour

organizers wereoften the targets ofviolence, industrialistswere far fromimmune.Henry Clay

Frick was a hated robber baron. During theHomestead Strike of 1892, he sent an army of300 Pinkerton detectives to retake a factorythat was being held by workers; nine men diedin the shooting that followed.In an attempt at revenge, the anarchist

activist Alexander Berkman shot and stabbedFrick, but failed to kill him.When I say “low-grade warfare” I mean

warfare. The Battle of Matewan and theLudlow Massacre were both armed conflictsinvolving hundreds, if not thousands, ofpeople.In Canada, the On-To-Ottawa trek of 1935

devolved into a riot in Regina that left an

unknown numberdead.We have labour

peace today largelybecause, after yearsof vicious attacks,governments gavein and establishedworkplace health andsafety laws, the eight-hour day, minimum

wages, and other basic protections. Labourlaws constrained strikes, but the barons ofindustry found that they could also no longersend in hired “private detectives” to beat andkill union leaders.So now we have a better world, one in

which few strikes begin or end with violence,one in which even underpaid fast-foodworkers stage peaceful strikes and walkouts.So before you get too mad about those

dastardly unions and those darned employers,take a deep breath. Nobody’s going to die, andthat’s a new thing in labour relations.MatthewClaxton is a reporter at theLangley

LETTERS

Hey, teacher, leave‘emkids alone

STRIKE

The Editor,Re: “Our children deserve better,”

Letters, June 11While it is evident that this teacher

has acted on a conviction that she mustspeak out in defense of her profession,she has done so in contraventionof the BCTF Code of Ethics whichgoverns the actions of members of thefederation.I am surprised that she has chosen

to inject a child, a former student, intothe conflict between the BCTF and theemployer’s association for the purposeof gaining a political, ideologicaladvantage for teachers in this dispute.As a long time educator, I remind

her, and all members of my profession,of the third statement in thatprofessional code of conduct, “Theteacher recognizes that a privilegedrelationship with students existsand refrains from exploiting thatrelationship for material, ideological, orother advantage.”In this current dispute, and those

that have gone before, it has becomeacceptable to use our children to further

the federation’s negotiating stance, tothe point where teachers now do notrecognize when they have steppedoutside of ethical behaviour.I am further surprised that even after

taking her students to the Legislaturein an effort to teach them about ourgovernance system, the writer does notknow that the Office of the Speaker isan apolitical appointment.Calling upon the Speaker to take

a political stance is ineffectiveand inappropriate. The Speaker isprohibited from acting as suggested.This public action has resulted in

no gain for teachers and has hurt achild and family by breaking the trustthey placed in a teacher to protect andrespect her students.Should the writer wish to make

amends for her actions, she will makea public apology to her former studentand family and urge her colleagues tostop using students for political andpersonal gain.

Maureen McDermidRichmond

MLA Reid could be a bridgeThe Editor,Re: “Our children deserve better,” Letters, June

11.I would like to add to Tanya Blumel’s open

letter to the Honourable Linda Reid. I hadwritten the Hon. Mrs. Reid asking some specificquestions.Eleven days later, I received a one-line

response: “It is my understanding that all partiesare working very hard to reach an agreement.”Hmmm. Consider this as me handing back theassignment incomplete.I’ve got three kids in school and I have had to

take time off work on rotating strike days to take

care of them.My wife is a part-time early literacy teacher

who has felt spread too thin this year as she hashad the equivalent of one full day to work withwith literacy challenged students in three differentclasses. Next year, she will have the same amountof time to work with five classes!Those kids need and deserve more. I would like

to think the Hon. Reid, a former educator, wouldbe uniquely positioned to bridge the gap betweenthe two sides and help make the best deal possiblefor kids, teachers and the employer.

Jeff HicklingRichmond

Judging value for moneyThe Editor,Listening to the seemingly

endless discussions on theteachers situation, I wouldsuggest everyone take a stepback and examine the problemfrom a different perspective.Executive jobs with pay

in the hundreds of thousandsof dollars a year range make

decisions commensuratewith their salaries. Does thatresponsibility compare witha teacher facing a class of30 kids, some of whom havespecial needs?Why should they have to

grovel for a wage which is asmall fraction of executives?With all the studies that have

been done, could a study bedone to measure the stress levelexecutives endure compared toa teacher, on any given day?The teaching profession

needs an overhaul, includingrecertification. It would addweight to their cause.

Thomas caps European tour with silver medalSWIMMING

Richmond’s Noemie Thomasconcluded the third and final stopof the Mare Nostrum swimmingtour in Barcelona, Spain Sundaywith a silver medal in the women’s50-metre butterfly.

The 18-year-old, who is headedto the University of CaliforniaBerkley on a full-ride scholarshipthis fall, finished second toDenmark’s Jeanette Ottesen(25.27) in a time of 26.33. SvetlanaChimrova of Russia (26.38) wasthird.

“It was kind of a struggletoday,’’ said Thomas who also wassecond in the 100-m butterfly onWednesday at the tour’s secondstop in Canet-en-Rousillon, France.“We are in the midst of some hardtraining and to combine that withcompetitions has taken its toll.’’

She tried to forget about heraches and pains for her race onSunday.

“The 50 fly is more mental thanphysical, you just have to be on,’’

she said. “It was great to have theseopportunities to race Jeanette whoreally blew everyone away here.It’s an awesome internationalexperience and very motivating.’’

Thomas was also eighth in the

200-m fly on Sunday. She waswas in the hunt for the bronze inSaturday’s 100-m fly final. Shesettled for fifth in a time of 58.98seconds which was actually 0.01seconds faster than her silver medal

clocking in France three daysearlier.

Canada fielded a six-membersquad for the annual Europeantour. The other Canadianscompeting were: Jeremy Bagshaw

and Keegan Zanatta of Victoria,Stefan Milosevic and Luke Peddieof Vancouver and Ariane Mainvilleof Montreal.

Thomas suffered an ankle injuryearlier this year which hamperedher performance at the CanadianSwimming Trials in April. Shefell short in her bid to make theCommonwealth Games and PanPacific Championships teams thissummer.

Last year, she was seventh in the100 fly final at the World FINAChampionships in Barcelona.

She was coming off a threemedal performance, including apair of gold, at last month’s 51stannual Mel Zajac Jr. InternationalCanada Cup Meet, held at UBC.

Thomas graduates this monthfrom Magee secondary. She leftSteveston’s McMath secondaryafter her Grade 10 year to enroll atMagee which has a sports programfor high level athletes that requireflexible schedules.

Richmond’s Noemie Thomas earned silver in the 50 fly at the final stop of a European tour in Barcelona.
