School bus driver breaks down over privatization proposal
On Monday evening, Richmond SchoolDistrict secretary treasurer Mark De
Mello outlined details of the $4.2 million ofproposed cuts to the city’s public educationsystem, prompting swift reaction from thetwo large unions representing its employ-ees.
Bus driver Tom Colins, an otherwise burlylooking man whose job it is to transportmany special needs children each day,approached seven trustees at the Boardof Education meeting to plea passionately
for school bus services to remain publiclyfunded. Although not recommended, thedistrict has provided the board with theoption of privatizing school buses to save$250,000 annually.
“Our district drivers are an integral partof the community. Our jobs are more thanpoint A to point B,” said Colins, attemptingto hold back tears.
“I’m not convinced a private, for-profitcompany is going to make it work (for stu-dents),” said an emotional Colins before be-ing helped back to his chair in the gallery.
De Mello noted these savings are esti-mates and, in fact, some school districtsthat opted for a private bus service did notsave much. Outlined in the budget cut
proposals, set to be approved by the boardin two weeks’ time, is a series of reductionsacross various types of services.
“The depth of cuts is substantial,” saidDe Mello.
The district is faced with a $4.2 millionshortfall because it is losing about 350students next year, which translates into a$2.4 million reduction in operating grantsfrom the Ministry of Education. Additionally,the district must make up for $900,000 inunfunded inflationary costs (MSP, utilities,benefits) and another $900,000 in admin-istrative cuts imposed by the provincialgovernment.

Richmond’s Dr. Gustavo Jose Carvalho hasbeen in trouble with legal and regulatory
authorities for serious improprieties almostfrom the time he was licensed to practisemedicine in B.C. in 1990.
Now, after an audit found fake patientappointments and billing errors of about$200,000, he has the distinction of being thefirst doctor in B.C. permanently struck fromthe Medical Services Commission against hiswill, according to the Ministry of Health.
(A few other doctors voluntarily dropped outafter damning audits.)
Without a Medical Services Plan billing num-ber, Carvalho can still bill patients directly, butonly for services not covered by the govern-ment health insurance, such as cosmeticprocedures, like wart removal. Carvalho, whogot his medical degree in 1988 from the Uni-versity of Alberta, has worked at a Richmondwalk-in clinic in the Ackroyd Medical Centresince 1990.
It is unclear where, or if, he will work now.
Susan Prins, spokeswoman for the Collegeof Physicians and Surgeons, said it recentlylearned of the commission’s decision.
The college, which licenses doctors, is nowrequired to conduct itsown investigation, whichcould lead to disciplinaryaction.
She couldn’t say if hemight lose his licence topractise in B.C. “Eachinvestigation is conductedbased on the unique cir-cumstances of the case,”she said.
The college has disci-plined and suspended Carvalho three times.
In June of 2012, the Richmond Newsreported that Carvalho had been suspendedfor three months after admitting to creatingfalse appointments for patients and collectingpayments from the subsequent invoices. Atthe time, Carvalho received payment of nearly$4,000 from the Medical Services Commis-sion for the imaginary services and consentedto a host of penalties, including a $50,000fine and reimbursement to the MSC. Carvalho
was also ordered to undergo counselling,practise under a supervisor and see patientsonly when other clinic staff are present.
In 2002, he was convicted of criminalharassment of a formergirlfriend, public mischief andbreach of the conditions ofhis sentence. Provincial courtJudge C.J. Bruce called himdevious and sentenced himto a year of house arrest andthree years’ probation after hepleaded guilty to the charges.He also noted that Carvalhoappeared to have “severepersonality disorders” along
with anti-social conduct. The college tempo-rarily stripped him of his licence to practisemedicine after the conviction. The MedicalServices Commission, which manages B.C.’spublic health insurance plan, has audited himtwice, finding numerous billing errors. Doctorsare supposed to record the location where theservice was provided, the time spent with thepatient and the diagnosis. Carvalho has beenordered to repay the taxpayer-funded healthinsurance plan $184,138, plus interest.

The district has proposed cuts in excess of$4.2 million to provide trustees with options.The biggest cuts ($660,000) will be made atthe teaching level, as a result of lower enrol-ment. School supplies totalling $550,000could be cut, as well.
Additionally, one vice-principal($115,000), three learning services positions($215,000), business assistants ($90,000),maintenance administration ($105,000), fiveworks yard staff ($405,000) and five custo-dians ($350,000) are on the chopping block.
“None of this is pleasant. None of this willbe easy,” De Mello told trustees, who are re-quired by law to balance the budget or facepossible dismissal (Vancouver trustees havechosen not to do so. There was no indicationfrom individual Richmond trustees that theywould oppose the cuts).
De Mello has proposed to trustees thatthey use $2 million from a $9.8 million ac-cumulated operating surplus. He said doingso would provide a Band-Aid-type solutionand likely jeopardize future budgets.
“Finance experts, such as myself, have todo a big swallow and need to consider thelesser of two evils,” said De Mello, who hasquestioned why the government is cuttingschool administration costs again, when B.C.is reported to have the lowest such costs inCanada.
CUPE 716 president Ross McLuskie wasof the opinion the proposed cuts targetedsupport staff too much.
While he told the trustees he had sympa-thy for their position and that the ministrywas forcing them to do the “dirty work,” healso suggested the board cut more from
management and administration.“Leave the frontline workers alone,” said
McLuskie.Richmond Teachers’ Association president
Al Klassen said cuts to custodians will nega-tively impact teaching performance and thehealth and safety of classrooms.n School closure protest plannedKelly Greene, a parent from Diefenbaker
elementary school, has organized a publicrally at Hugh Boyd secondary school thisThursday at 6 p.m. to draw attention to whatshe and others are calling “the unreasonablemandate” of forcing school districts to reach95 per cent capacity in order to receiveseismic upgrades.
Richmond is facing up to five school clo-sures in September 2017 so that it can meetthe threshold.
“We feel it is just plain wrong to hold thesafety, the lives, of children as collateral toforce cuts to education. The school boardis now forced into the highly unenviableposition of closing schools (which are wellattended, such as Diefenbaker), or lettingchildren sit in schools with major structuraldeficiencies with regards to earthquakes,”Greene told the News via email.
The rally will be held for 30 minutes, priorto the last “long-range facilities plan” openhouse on school closures, scheduled atBoyd for 6:30 p.m.
At the open house district staff will be ableto answer questions parents or the generalpublic have regarding the proposed clo-sures.
Only Richmond and Vancouver havereported lower enrolment numbers for nextyear in Metro Vancouver.

Vancouver airport’s plans to have jetsdepart on a second runway to accommo-
date heavy summer traffic has some residentscomplaining that YVR is bending the rulesput in place for the north runway when it wasbuilt.
And they’re worried the airport’s noise pol-lution will only get worse, affect more peopleand continue year-round as YVR grows.
A federal Environmental AssessmentReview Process, when the extra runway wasbuilt in the 1990s, gave it the green light,providing it was only used for jet departureswhen heavily congested.
Jonathan Parker, who sits on YVR’s Aero-nautical Noise Management Committee asa Vancouver resident, says YVR’s statisticsshow aircraft traffic — not passengers — hasincreased minimally, due to larger planes.
“The mandate was they would not use thenorth runway until they needed to for conges-tion,” said Parker, who lives near MarineDrive.
But YVR says it’s operating within the EARPrecommendations and needs the extra run-way to reduce delays. It announced this weekit would use it during peak summer times,as it does every summer, and would reviewoperations to see if it would continue throughthe fall and winter.
But Parker said aircraft movements, exclud-ing helicopters and seaplanes, at YVR in1995 were at 268,000, peaking at 324,000 in1999, before dropping to 278,000 last year.He said YVR should consider a reservationsystem instead of first-come, first-served fordepartures as used by larger U.S. airports andcalled for an independent audit of volume.
But YVR spokeswoman Anne Murray saidthe annual totals don’t take into account
summer or daytime peaks “when it’s much,much busier” and she said YVR expectedby 2001 to be using the north runway for jetdepartures.
“We understand people are concernedabout the noise,” said Murray, adding that’sbalanced against the need for efficient opera-tions. She said YVR isn’t busy enough for areservation system for departures.
YVR last year received 1,667 noise com-plaints from 298 people, but five peoplemade 77 per cent of all complaints. At its 20noise-monitoring terminals recording “single-event noise levels” over 70 A-weighted deci-bels, most were in Richmond, from 10 to 180(in Burkeville) a day. Vancouver’s greatestaverage was in Marpole, at seven a day.
Parker said planes have become quieter,but the noise will affect a large swath of Van-couver, from Camosun to Knight streets and41st Avenue to the north, and worries it willworsen with YVR’s growth.
Transport Canada’s Sara Johnston saidairports are responsible for noise complaintsfrom within 18 kilometres and they andresidents are “encouraged to work together todetermine the best noise-control measures.”
In the late 1990s, Vancouver’s environmen-tal health director sat on YVR’s noise commit-tee and noted in a report that YVR had almostimmediate plans to use the then new northrunway for departing jets before a demon-strated need, contrary to the EARP, the samepoint Parker is making almost 20 years later.

They raised more than$26,000 for breast cancer
research and multiplied innumbers by almost 50 percent.
Suffice to say, Team Devihad a successful VancouverMarathon, with more than150 team members pullingfor Devi Ralla, of Richmond,a veteran marathoner whowas diagnosed with breastcancer in the fall of 2014and can no longer run in thebig race.
Ralla, however, has no
shortage of people runningin her name, evidenced bythe swell in participants lastweek, up from 108 in 2015.
Therewere alsoa fewunexpectedadditions inthe event’s8K walk,according toRalla.
“Sev-eral people,aroundsix I think,actuallycame downon the dayafter read-ing about Team Devi inthe newspaper,” said the55-year-old former marathontraining leader and HughBoyd secondary educationassistant.
“They didn’t have a TeamDevi t-shirt, so they justturned up in purple t-shirts.They thought they shouldcome down and support theteam and do the walk.”
Ralla, herself, did the walk,much slower than last yearas she’s “not in the shape”that she was.
“Just before the finish line,my dad, who was ahead ofme, stopped and waited forme and held my hand. Myhusband also held my handas we crossed the line, sothat was nice.”
Ralla said her son,
Braeden — who has run thelast two Vancouver Mara-thons in his mom’s name— blew away his personal
best time.“He told me before the
race that he would do threeand a half hours and, to behonest, I thought that waspushing it. But he did it and Iwas so proud,” she said.
“Other people have spokento me since reading thenewspaper, saying theydidn’t know all of this wasgoing on. They have nowmarked the date in theircalendar for next year andare going to join up.”
Last month, Ralla told theNews how, after 15 years,she had to give up her loveof marathon running in 2014due to cancer.
Scores of family andfriends now take her place inthe event under the auspicesof Team Devi.

After more than 36 yearsserving up Italian food in
Richmond, Satinder Jaswalwill bake his last lasagna alforno today.
Paesano’s restaurant, onBayview Street and SecondAvenue in Steveston, is clos-ing its doors on Wednesday,May 18 after its owner, Jas-wal, decided it was time toretire and take his first sum-mer vacation in 50 years.
In its place is going to bea venture called Britannia
Brewing, which the Newsunderstands could be any-thing from a restaurant to abrewpub or a microbrewery.
Jaswal said he tested themarket back in Februaryand the very next month adeal had been struck withBritannia Brewing for theleasehold to be transferred.
“I want to retire, basically.It’s a lot of work and I justwant to take it easy now,”said Jaswal of the reason forcalling it a day after six yearsin Steveston and 30 beforethat on No. 3 Road nearAlderbridge Way.
“I’m going to take some
time off and see what’s hap-pening after that.”
Jaswal, 63 – who is of EastIndian ethnicity and firststarting working five decadesago as a dishwasher in anItalian restaurant in WestVancouver – said he was“looking forward to a sum-mer vacation for once” and“might finally go to Italy andsee what that’s like.”
Jaswal said the restaurantbuilding is leased. “It’s notours. We are just passing onthe leasehold.
“It used to be a gift shop,but we built it into a restau-rant from scratch, basically.”
Since announcing his de-cision to close, Jaswal saidhe’s been bombarded withcalls from loyal customersasking where he’s going toopen up next.
“I don’t know. I guess,maybe, I haven’t closed thedoor on the idea,” he said ofthe possibility of re-openingsomewhere else in Rich-mond in the future.
“You never know where wemight pop back up.”
In January, BritanniaBrewing Corp applied tothe City of Richmond for anindustrial/manufacturing usebusiness licence for a unitat 12500 Horseshoe Way inIronwood.
Whether that licence isbeing (or is able to be)transferred to the formerPaesano’s location remainsto be seen.
Britannia Brewing has aTwitter account — @britan-niabrew — and a website,which is not yet up andrunning.
It does have a phone num-ber listed, but several callsto that number were notreturned by press time.
It used to be a giftshop, but we builtit into a restaurantfrom scratch,basically– Satinder Jaswal

Dear Editor;Re: “City needs a tree mu-
seum,” Letters, May 11.I am writing in response to re-
cent letters regarding the futureof a large willow tree located oncity property along Seafair Drive.
As a result of pending re-development of the adjoiningprivate property, the city arbor-ist assessed the tree earlier thisyear. It was determined the treewas in decline and has a rottencore, which is compromising itsstability.
Our hope is always to savetrees that are healthy, safe and ofsound structure, however, com-munity safety must come first.
Given the size of this tree andcommunity interest, the cityhired a third party arborist toundertake another hazard andcondition assessment of the tree.The independent arborist hassupported the city’s assessment,rating the tree at high risk forfailure.
As there is an active bird’snest in the tree, removal will bedelayed until after the nestingseason is complete. Until then,steps will be taken to protect thetree from the impact of neigh-bouring construction and protectthe public.
The developer of the adjoiningproperty will pay compensationto the city to allow for trees tobe planted to replace the willowtree.
The city is strongly committedto both tree preservation andprotection. Whenever a tree isremoved from city property, newtrees are planted at an averageratio of 2:1 and often higher.In 2015, our parks departmentplanted nearly 1,000 new treeson city property. Over the sametime period, about 480 trees oncity property were removed, ofwhich 380 had been deemedhazardous.
Trees on private propertyare managed through our treeprotection bylaw. Property own-ers must apply for a permit,whenever seeking to remove
trees above specified size limits.In such cases, the city seeks toretain trees where viable. Wheretrees are removed, the propertyowner is required to compensateby funding new tree plantings.
Since the bylaw was introducedin 2006, 17,760 trees have beenretained and 19,604 new treeshave been planted.
Through this bylaw, new treeplantings on private propertyhave exceeded tree removals byabout 27 per cent annually.

My friend, Dr. Steve Larigakis,sent this photo (right) with a
single word: “Sisters.”It was last Friday, after his
keynote talk for the 2016 Ca-nadian Society of TransfusionMedicine Conference in Van-couver. He’s hugging his sistersof two kinds.
Exactly five years earlier, hewas diagnosed with a rare andaggressive lymphoma at a latestage. It was soon clear heneeded a stem cell transplant.
From the time of that diagno-sis, Steve has shared the story,so his many friends and well-wishers can have a part. It’s inDr. Steve’s Blog, still online andfull of ups and downs and trulynever-say-die cooperation.
Michelle, in Steve’s left arm, ishis sibling, always ready to listenor help. Siblings often makegood transplant donors, and shetested for it but didn’t match.
Then, she helped with a hugedonor drive, including manyGreeks, their ethnic group,
somewhat likely to be matches.No such luck.Even in Bone Marrow Donors
Worldwide, a registry with morethan 17 million donors at thetime, no one fully matched. Butthere was one near-match.
Katie Karker, in Steve’s rightarm, lives in the village ofKingsley in northern Michigan.As the near-match, she gladlywent to a lot of trouble to donatethe needed stem cells for anunknown recipient. She savedhis life.
Early on, the donor drive hadgot me back to giving blood. Ayear after Steve began his lifeanew, I went to his “re-birthdaycelebration.” He called me his
mentor, so perhaps I’m a goodinfluence, too.
Recently, I helped Steve refinehis talk for the transfusion con-ference.
Minor roles like mine add up,and anyone can have a key ef-fect. During his recovery, Stevehad a further brush with deathwhen donor cells attacked hostcells, and it was a pharmacistwho came across a therapy thatworked.
As I reflect, it strikes me asearned luck. It’s the sort of thingthat happens when unselfishpeople focus on a goal androll up their sleeves to do whatneeds to be done.
That has paid off with Steve’s
return to health and a visionaryrole in family medicine. As well,the success energizes everyonewho cares, and it motivates meto keep using simple means thatget results.
At the conference, Steve’swords and slides relived hisjourney with cancer. Near theend, he introduced Katie, his“blood sister.”
Standing ovation.He’d never met Katie till last
week, but she’s become familyand a star.
There was even a featurearticle on the front page of theVancouver Sun. (Just googleblood sister stem cells.)
Adding a new adult sister israre, but aiming together forvalues — as so many did forSteve’s recovery — lets us seehidden paths to our goals.
Jim Wright is president ofthe Garden City ConservationSociety.

Open letter to Mayor andCouncil:
Pete McMartin wrote apiece on the diminishingtree canopy in Vancouver inthe Vancouver Sun on May10.
He shares some Vancou-ver city data. In 1995, thetree canopy covered 22.5per cent of Vancouver andthis had fallen by 2013 to18 per cent. This is five percent less than Seattle with itsgreater population and moreindustry. Most of the declinewas on private land. The Cityof Vancouver has pledgedto plant 150,000 trees by2020.
Many residents in Rich-mond are deeply concernedabout the loss of trees dueto new development andincreased construction.
I would be very gratefulif you could let me knowwhat the figures are for thechanging tree canopy of ourcity and any similar plans forsignificant tree-planting bythe City of Richmond.

Awards welldeserving
Dear Editor,I’m writing this letter to speak about the
destruction of the trees in Richmond.I moved to this beautiful city in 1973 and
have enjoyed all it has to offer for manyyears, however, I’m not a fan of the ram-pant development over the past 10 years. Ijust can’t wrap my head around the amountof trees that are falling around me...
Where are the birds supposed to nest?The city bills itself on the welcome signs
as “city by nature,” but do they really care?Everywhere I turn, trees are taken down
for new development and smaller trees, ifany, are being planted. Where are the birdsexpected to nest?
Behind our home, we are to welcome 108new townhomes and yes, they will be takingdown more trees... This will happen withinthe next few weeks/months and again the
poor birds will have to move along, but towhere?
If we bill ourselves as a “city by nature,”why don’t we pay attention to the decon-struction of our city by nature?
If we truly care about our city and thebirds that live here, please pay attentionand stop the destruction of our neighbour-hoods and enforce the bylaws, or at least tryto figure out a way of living in harmony withthe birds.
The city should pay attention to thesignage that they post when entering ourcity, or change it to “welcome to the city,we don’t care about nature, but we have agreat view.” The signs, as posted, seem likefalse advertising to me.

Youngsters looking for a true, full-ontheatre musical experience or who want
to sharpen their singing, dancing and actingskills in the glow of the footlights can take tothe boards at Gateway Theatre during thesummer months.
Each July and August, Gateway offers itssummer camps and workshops which have,in the past, led to main production opportu-nities for young talent, said Brendan Prost,Gateway’s marketing and sales manager.
“We had several young performers fromthe musical theatre camp, our most popularcamp, appear in the Christmas productionof the Wizard of Oz,” Prost said. “Of course,they were Munchkins.”
The summer musical camp runs for a fullmonth (July 4 – 29) and gives students a
chance to perform in a full scale musicalon Gateway’s main stage using professionalprops and lighting.
“It’s the real thing,” Prost said, adding allthe spots for the camp have nearly beentaken already.
Natasha Zacher, Gateway’s educationcoordinator, said the opportunity to be partof the musical theatre camp in the summergives students a firm foundation for them tograduate to more challenging levels the the-atre offers in its other academy programs.
“After the summer camp they can comeand attack the rehearsal process with agreater sense of skill, concentration andwillingness to give it their all,” she said.
Students are required to audition for aplace in the month-long musical theatrecamp.
For those not seeking such an immersivecourse, Gateway also has week-long musi-cal theatre workshops.
New this year is a speechworkshop, which can be achance for students to pickup some valuable skills thatcan transfer directly to theacademic and workplaceworlds later in life, as theycan gain confidence speak-ing comfortably in front ofothers, nurture their publicpresence and develop agreater sense of self-aware-ness, Prost said.

SUMMERROWING ATTHE UBCBOATHOUSE
Camps and public parks offer Summer-long entertainment?When school lets out for the summer,
many parents are left searching for waysto keep children entertained in the ensuingmonths.
Summer vacation often starts with highexpectations. Children are excited about theprospect of fun days outdoors playing withfriends, while parents anxiously await relaxingmonths without the responsibilities of schooland extracurricular clubs.
But once summer vacation arrives and thefirst few days have passed, parents often findthat the litany of cheers and giggles transforminto a chorus of “I’m bored.”
Many parents pore over ideas that will keeptheir children busy throughout the summer.Many activities that come to mind tend tobe expensive, so if cutting costs is a priority,parents might need to think outside the boxto come up with entertaining ideas that won’tbreak the bank.n Public parks and plane spotting
Richmond has plenty of public parks forfamilies to spend their summer time together.One of the newest is Terra Nova AdventurePlayground (2340 River Road), a $1 mil-lion park that has a maze of tractor tires andpaddock fence, a playhouse perched in thetrees, a double zip-line, hammock swings,trampolines and so much more.
Kids of all ages are sure to have a greattime.
If there are young aviation enthusiasts inyour household, Vancouver InternationalAirport’s free Observation Deck in the do-mestic terminal offers stunning views fromits 5,000-square-foot, glass-walled location.
Free-of-charge telescopes allow you to zoomin on the airside operations and take-offs andlandings. And, there is live communicationsbetween air traffic controllers and aircraft thatyou can listen to.
Richmond also has plenty of historic attrac-tions that are fun to visit and educational, too.
Steveston is the ideal place to explore themaritime fishing roots in B.C.
You can join one of the guided tours at theGulf of Georgia Cannery National HistoricSite that was once known as the “MonsterCannery” due to its size and productionnumbers.
Then there’s the nearby Britannia Ship-yards where you can to see how locals livedand worked in the early 20th century.
For some agricultural history, visit LondonHeritage Farm to enjoy a full tea service anddiscover farmhouse life in Richmond duringthe 1880s.nHigh-tech games and bikes
If you are looking for some high-tech ad-venture in the great “indoors” Richmond hasa number of new escape game experienceswaiting to test your abilities.
The challenge is to gather clues in a roomto supply a solution to make your escapewithin a time limit — usually 45 minutes.That’s the concept behind escape games,which are a hot trend in Asia and havequickly caught on here in Richmond.
With multiple escape game venuesthroughout the city, such as Xcape and ExitCanada, all with different rooms, themes anddegrees of difficulty, these escape games willhave even the best puzzle solvers scratching
their heads and wanting to stay until they’veescaped all the rooms.
With plenty of flat trails (80km) you canalso bike along the dykes throughout Rich-mond. It’s the perfect way to spend a whole
day exploring Richmond’s trail system. Bikerentals are available in Steveston Village.
The trails follow and connect to historicsites, parks and scenic stops with places topause for fish n’ chips or ice cream.
n Keeping your children from getting bored during the lengthy summer holidays need not be a chorewhen facilities such as Terra Nova Adventure Playground offers plenty of outdoor play fun. Photosubmitted

Richmond FC capture Provincial Cup in style
Anear flawless season is takingRichmond FC to where no local
senior women’s soccer team hasgone in 30 years.They put the finishing touch on
a remarkable campaign with adominating 4-0 victory over theNorth Shore Renegades in theProvincial Premier Cup final playedon Sunday in Langford. The resultsends the girls to the CanadianChampionships in St. John’s New-foundland in October — markingthe first time a Richmond team hasreached the national stage since1986.Richmond FC has also com-
pleted the prestigious treble, earlierwinning the Metro Women’s Soc-cer League’s regular season andleague cup titles.Since September, Richmond’s
combined record is 20-1-1, includ-ing three wins in the Provincial Cupplaydowns that produced a 10-0aggregate score.The only team to give them trou-
ble this season was the defending
provincial champion Renegades.The rivals split three earlier
meetings (1-1-1), with Richmondwinning the league cup final 2-1back in early April. Head coach JimCaldwell was confident his team’syounger legs would be the differ-ence again, especially on field turfat Westhills Stadium. He couldn’thave been more accurate.Striker Caitlin Davie was no doubt
the Renegades’ greatest concernentering the cup final.
The former UBC standout wasthe unaway MWSL Golden Bootwinner with 18 regular seasongoals and added four more in thetwo provincial playoff games. WithDavie getting extra attention andplaying on a tender ankle, Rich-mond F.C. promptly showcasedtheir other weapons — namelyJenna Richardson.The 23-year-old Oregon State
University product produced a pairof clinical finishes to put her team
in control.After a cautious start to the game
that saw North Shore carrying theearly play, Richmond FC found itsfooting and began to take over.Shanay Sangha ran down a
loose ball in the corner and foundRichardson about 10 yards out.She made a quick turn and neatlydeposited her shot into the bottomcorner.The locals doubled their lead just
two minutes into the second half
when Julie-Anne Toda made a ter-rific run down the left side and senta low ball to the near post whereRichardson slipped past her checkand one-timed the cross home.For good measure, Jaclyn Dun-
nett made it 3-0 when she got holdof a flick-on by Kelly Cook after across into the penalty area.Just to showcase their speed
one last time, Hayley Flower-Ainge,who came on for Davie, sent a ter-rific ball over the top to a streakingSangha and she neatly chippedthe ball over the on rushing NorthShore goalkeeper.At the other end of the pitch,
goalkeeper Margaret Cicozziearned her third consecutiveshutout that was highlighted by apoint blank save off of Renegadesstandout Rheanne Sleiman with theoutcome still in doubt.Richmond’s backline was superb,
also displaying its quickness byconsistently being first to the ball.“Our players have worked so
hard and I am so happy for eachone of them,” said Caldwell.“Player for player, we had the extraspeed, better skill set and goodwork ethic.”
Chuckers looking for moretourney success at home
There was no hometown bias whenit came to finalizing the schedule for
Richmond City Baseball’s Queen VictoriaInvitational.The sixth annual event for U15 rep teams
will feature its most competitive field yet andthere is no guarantee the hosts will even getbeyond preliminary play. The 12-team tourna-ment gets underway Thursday night andconcludes on the holiday Monday.The host Chuckers are part of a three-
team bracket that also includes the BurnabyBraves and Alberta’s Parkland Twins. TheBraves have been on a tear of late in the B.C.Bantam AAA League and sit with an 11-7record, while Parkland is the former SpruceGrove squad that reached the championshipgame a year ago.In total, this year’s tournament features
seven of the top eight teams in the B.C. Mi-nor league, along with the defending cham-pion Okotoks Black Dawgs — a Calgary areaacademy team.“It’s the strongest draw we have ever had,”
confirmed Chuckers manager Alex Klenmann.“Just to get out of our pool is going to betough. The Alberta teams come here lookingto play better teams in B.C. and they knowthey will be in a competitive situation here.Parkland represents two associations and theOkotkos basically has the pick of the entireCalgary area and will be coming here with 17or 18 players.”Don’t feel too sorry for the challenge that
lies ahead for Richmond.The Chuckers are already one-for-one in
tournament play this season, having capturedlast month’s Best of the West in Kamloopsthat also happened to include both Albertateams. The road to the championship washighlighted by a 3-0 semi-final win overOkotoks thanks to a no-hitter from JustinThorsteinson.It’s part of Richmond’s impressive 22-4
record, although Klenmann is hoping thetournament will get his team back firing on allcylinders again. The Chuckers were trounced10-0 last week by White Rock then re-bounded to sweep a home doubleheader onSunday from Aldergrove, including a come-from-behind 7-6 game two victory.“Their lefty threw a great game and was
hitting all his spots. On the other side of theledger, they walked a fair amount and wemade a couple of mistakes,” said Klenmannof the White Rock loss. “That will happenover the long course of the season and it’snothing huge but it hurts to lose like that.“Our offence has gone missing a bit of late
but that’s the up and down part of baseball.We always have good starts (to the season)because we prepare well. But then everyonecatches up and we plateau a bit. Now it’s ourjob to take the next step up again.”The Chuckers’ roster has been structured
for tournament success thanks to excellentpitching depth that is required for a con-densed schedule. The rotation will be set-upaccordingly with Richmond taking on Park-land on Friday at 5:45 p.m., then Saturdayat 2:15 p.m. against Burnaby. The plan is tohave all pitchers available when the playoffsbegin on Sunday morning.“Theoretically we are built for tournament
success but if we are not firing on all cylindersthen it doesn’t matter,” added Klenmann.
“Right now, we are a little off but this week-end is an opportunity to get a lot of arms intoplay and play some competitive ball.“It’s our tournament and we want to make
the playoffs.”Quarter-final action gets underway Sunday
at 11:45 a.n. with the first of four consecutivegames. The semi-finals go at 9 a.m. Mondayand the championship game is 2:30 p.m.Both diamonds at Blundell Park will be in
play with Richmond in action on the northfield for both round-robin games.

TEED,Carman Danell
November 8, 1921 -May 5, 2016
Born in Cumberland County,Nova Scotia; passed awayin Richmond, BC at age 94.Carman was the youngest ofseven children of GeorgeTeed and Amelia (neePatriquin) Teed. He waspredeceased by his only
child Catharine Blanco in 1991 and his wife Marjorie(nee Harris) in 2015. Left remembering his staminaand infinite knowledge of how anything mechanicalworked are his family in eastern Canada,colleagues and friends.
A proud veteran of the RCAF, he served in themedical core in eastern Canada from 1942-1945.Carman was always amazed that he’d had thecourage in 1956 to pack up and set out west lookingfor more opportunity. His instinct was right, as hefound employment in aviation immediately withQ.C.A./P.W.A. in White Horse. By 1957 he cameback to the lower mainland where he worked forTransCanada Airlines/Air Canada. He was able tohave Marjorie and Cathy soon join him and eventuallysettled in Richmond. Along the way he earned hisPrivate Pilot’s License with float and nightendorsements. After Cathy’s passing, Carman andMarjorie travelled and particularly liked cruising.After retirement in 1980 the restoration of a VW vanand a 1947 Luscombe kept him busy.
A Memorial Service will be held Friday, May 20,2016 at 3:00 pm at the Richmond Funeral Home,8420 Cambie Road, Richmond.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Carman’smemory to the Richmond Hospital Foundation.
