It’s Canada Day.That means at this very moment I’m

decked out in red and white, either wanderingthrough the Steveston Salmon Festival or, ifit’s past five, drinking a strawberry daiquiri ona balcony with friends.

I love a party, especially a big public onelike this that celebrates the best of this beauti-ful country. So, yes, I’m as happy as anypatriot to wave a flag on our day of nationalpride.

That said, we’re living in strange times— times when fervent nationalism is enoughto make one a bit queasy. Maybe it’s thatBritian-for-the-British sentiment that fueledsome to vote in favour of Brexit and breakaway from the European Union; or maybeit’s the anti-immigrant, nationalist partiesgaining strength in Europe; maybe it’s DonaldTrump’s pledge to build a wall to keep outMexicans and his questioning of a judge’sability to do his job because of his nationality.

Whatever it is, it’s giving me pause. Itmay be silly to equate a cheerful CanadaDay parade with national xenophobia. And,indeed, one of the highlights of any CanadaDay celebration is the swearing-in ceremony,where many recent immigrants are welcomedinto the fold.

But it’s also a mistake to think nationalfervor and anti-immigrant attitudes can’t takehold anywhere, and, given that’s the case,we’d be wise to look at what fans the flames.

While I believe it’s a mistake to break up theEU, it can’t be denied that the EU has alsomade some mistakes that have contributedto, for some, a desire to leave. Even many ofthose on the remain side agree the EU needsreform, that Brussels is out of touch and itsinstitutions have become more powerful thanthe governments that formed them. There isa lesson in all this that has nothing to do withracism and anti-immigration, rather it’s aboutthe balance between larger interests and localautonomy/global markets and neighbourhoodintegrity.

And that brings me back to Richmond.Although worlds away, we’re not so different.Our debate over mega homes, foreign owner-ship and “recent” versus “long-time” resi-dents is often laced with thinly veiled racism.However, it also reflects valid concerns aboutcommunity development, private versus pub-lic rights, and a diminishing middle class. Theimportant thing is to pick the right enemy.New immigrants (and the concept of a unitedEurope, for that matter) are not it.

So, it’s not just the red-and-white I intend tocheer at today’s parade, but also the purpleand yellow lotus dancers, as well as the redand black Japanese drummers. And my flag?Rainbow.

That’s the Canada I celebrate.

She who seeks Committeeshipmust file a PetitionReasons for judgment were released days ago in Re McNally, a case of a siblingCommitteeship dispute.A son of the patient applied to be Committee, while a sister also sought to be Committee. In aninteresting twist, the brother argued that, although his sister opposed his being Committee, sheactually had to file a Petition if she also sought Committeeship.The Court agreed (I had not seen this before in case law). The Court reviewed the evidence, andthen held that the son was the appropriate person to be Committee. The Court expressed someconcern that the sister with her husband had taken their mother from her care facility and soughtto have her sign legal documents.In my opinion, the Court was right in its decision of who should be Committee. I am not sure,however, that an opposing applicant ought to have to file a Petition with supporting documents.The cost of the proceedings rises, and I believe sufficient information can be provided to the Courtby way of affidavits. Nonetheless, the requirement is not overwhelming.

Dear Editor,This letter is addressed to all drivers

in Richmond. I implore you to look forall other vehicles on the road. You arenot the only driver. It is your responsi-bility to be aware ofyour surroundingsat all times.

The reason formy letter is I havenoticed that, in thepast three monthssince I’ve startedriding my motor-cycle to and fromwork, drivers arenot using their mir-rors, signals or doing shoulder-checks.Lane changes are the one thing thatmost motorcyclists and bicyclists fearwhile riding. If a driver fails to do thesimple steps of 1) Check the sidemirrors 2) Activate the indicator 3)Shoulder check, 4) Lane change —to these I’d add a step 0 of a quickshoulder-check prior to doing theother four — a cyclist is at the mercyof his or her reaction time, and theability of the driver to hear the horn orvoice.

I believe that the speed limit in Rich-mond is 50 km/hr unless otherwiseposted. There have been countlesstimes when I have been travelling at

50 km/hr and have been passed as if Iwere parked.

The roads on which I have noticedthis most are Steveston Highway, No.2 Road, No. 3 Road and Bridgeport

Road. I’m surethere are others(the number wouldprobably equal thenumber of streetsin Richmond).

This rant is notdirected at anyage, gender, orethnic group as Ihave seen this badbehaviour from a

complete cross section of drivers. Ihave spoken with the police on thisand have been informed that if theincident is reported relatively quickly,they will send a squad car and start aninvestigation which could result in amoving violation issued to the driver.

Another option could be that thedriver, as well as the witness, could beinvited to traffic court. The fines andinconvenience of having to go to courtwould be minimal if it avoids an ac-cident. So, please, do yourselves (andyour pocketbook) a favour and startpaying attention.

Dear Editor,About three weeks ago I

called the local RCMP sta-tion situated just down theroad from where I live. I wasconcerned about the speed somany drivers travel at alongthe “Highway to Heaven”stretch of No. 5 Road. Someseem to be approaching thespeeds that Highway 99 driv-ers are going.

I was told by the RCMP totake it up with Richmond CityHall.

Last week, there was a ter-rible accident, partly due to in-

attentivness and speed. As canbe seen in the accompanyingpicture (above), the driver hadto be extracted from his carafter they used the jaws of lifeto cut the car. I would estimatehe hit the truck at a speed ofat least 80 k/hr. No skidmarks,and the more than 400-poundtamper on the back of thetruck was almost 20 feet awayfrom the truck.

I can’t quite come to gripswith the fact that, rather thancheck out the situation and dosome enforcement, I was toldto contact another authority.

It seems that the RCMP isoverloaded, or they are not dili-gent enough to pursue a com-plaint that could save peoplefrom injury or even death.

I would guess the averagespeed people drive at alongthis stretch is closer to 80 km/hr than the posted 50 km/hr.

As a note, I observed anoth-er driver flying past as manycars as possible, once the roadhad finally been cleared of theaccident. I guess there is justno fixing stupid.

Butt outfire risks

Correction:Overcrowded schools ahead?

LETTERSto the Editor

Dear Editor,A fire broke out on the West Dyke near Terra Nova this

afternoon. I had ridden past the very spot only a few min-utes earlier, with no sign of trouble.

Returning a few minutes later, there was a raging infernothat had already reached the trees.

Luckily, another cyclist had already reported it, and afire truck arrived minutes later. However, this fire, like themajority of others, could have been avoided through simpleconsideration for the environment and the health andsafety of people, property, animals, and our wild spaces.

So many times, I see cigarette butts carelessly tossedonto tinder-dry grass. The field directly outside my build-ing is a case in point. During a single block-long walk, Icounted more than 16 cigarette butts before I gave upcounting. Some of these butts weren’t even ground out,simply dropped.

When are people going to get it? The devastation of FortMcMurray and so many other fires were almost certainlycaused by people.

Isn’t it time the fines for dropping cigarette butts weremade substantially higher than for simple littering?

There’s really no excuse anymore.S. Moore

RichmondDear Editor,Hmm. Let’s think this

school closure through. Ifthe district is at less than 95per cent full, schools will beclosed.

So, when a school isclosed and the studentsmust be transferred to a

new school that is open.But to what conditions? Allremaining schools that es-caped closure are naturallygoing to operate closer tocapacity.

Now, the kids have towalk, or be driven, a fartherdistance only to be stuffed

into a portable becausetheir “new” school is nowovercrowded.

What’s the contingencyplan then?

More Band-Aid solutions?Re-open the closed schools?

Mayor Malcolm Brodie appeared doubtfula home vacancy tax would work in Rich-

mond but said he will monitor the progress ofa pitch made by his Vancouver counterpart,Gregor Robertson, to address empty resi-dences.

Robertson has asked the provincial govern-ment’s Ministry of Finance for special taxationmeasures to mitigate the effects of emptyhomes driving down the vacancy rate in a cityalready feeling the pinch of unprecedentedhousing unaffordability.

Brodie said he didn’t think empty homes inRichmond are as much of a problem as theyare perceived to be in Vancouver.

“I don’t have data. My perception is, interms of various combinations of observa-tions, we have less of an issue than Vancou-ver. But that’s just simply my opinion on it,”said Brodie.

Still, he acknowledged empty homes are aproblem, and Richmond should look at anypossible solutions.

Robertson has proposed a new tax onhomes that sit empty. The idea is to incentiv-ize real estate speculators to rent their proper-ties, thus increasing housing supply.

In terms of rental vacancy rates, Richmondis presently faring worse than Vancouver.Recent figures reported out of Vancouver CityHall indicate a rental vacancy rate of 0.6 percent. Last week, Coun. Bill McNulty, who sitson Metro Vancouver’s housing board, statedRichmond’s rate is 0.3 per cent.

Brodie said he has “reservations” about thebureaucratic mechanisms available to deter-mine what is and isn’t an empty home.

Vancouver commissioned a study on emptyhomes in March. Using electricity usage datafrom 2014, the study determined about 4.8per cent of all residences are vacant (one percent of detached homes and 12.5 per cent ofcondos). The study, however, didn’t qualifya home as vacant if it had some usage, atleast five times a month, or if it was used forjust one or two months in the summer. It alsoexcluded homes with disconnected utilities.

Given the study’s limitations, Brodie said itwould be difficult to determine what is andisn’t a vacant home.

“I just don’t see how it’s going to work,” he

said. “It’s difficult to control this overheatedmarket without having unintended conse-quences,” he added.

Vancouver staff have suggested a com-plaint-oriented honour system, starting withasking homeowners to provide a driver’slicence and/or rental agreement with theiraddress on it.

The City of Richmond has not investigatedvacant home data. Rather, the percievedproblem has been left up to anecdotal storiesof “ghost neighbourhoods,” such as thosechronicled by community activist KerryStarchuk on Facebook’s Richmond’s Chang-ing Neighbourhoods.

“Many of our neighbourhoods are saddledwith a growing number of houses that arevacant and unattended,” Starchuk told theNews.

Coun. Carol Day is more bullish on the ideaof a vacant home tax than Brodie, having pro-posed it during the 2014 municipal election.

Although Day said resident-driven com-plaints could create “havoc,” a person ac-cused of vacating a property could be askedto provide receipts of local purchases.

“I’d much rather see foreign investmentcontrols from a provincial or federal level,because that’s where the mess starts in thefirst place,” added Day.

Whether Richmond could impose such atax remains to be seen. Vancouver may beable to do so, but only via the VancouverCharter, a municipal constitution specificto that city. For Richmond to do the same,changes to the Community Charter — whichgoverns all B.C. municipalities — may berequired, said Brodie.

“It’s too early to say. That may make a realdifference.”

One thing was unanimous at acity council planning committee

meeting last week: The provincialand federal governments need toenter the game to house peopleaffordably.

But exactly what municipalpoliticians should be advocating fordiffered among councillors.

“The smart thing to do is to dealwith [housing affordability] at theprovincial and federal level bydealing with foreign investment”in real estate, Coun. Carol Day toldthe Richmond News, following themeeting in which planners pre-sented an overview of Richmond’sAffordable Housing Strategy.

But manipulating the free marketmay harm many recent purchas-ers of homes, noted Coun. DerekDang.

“It’s troubling for young people —who I’m concerned about — whohave managed to buy properties,probably with mortgages they can’tafford. Once we start to do some-thing artificially to hurt the econ-omy, you’re going to hurt youngpeople,” said Dang.

“Be careful what you wish for. Af-fordable becomes real unaffordablefor a lot of people,” if restrictionsare put in place, added Dang.

Day had asked staff if the City of

Richmond has advocated for for-eign home ownership restrictions.The reply from senior managementwas no. Rather, the city has takenthe approach of advocating forrenewed involvement in subsidizedco-op housing.

Coun. Harold Steves chimed in,stating: “We know they are notgoing to legislate lower prices be-cause that would outrage everyonewho owns a house. We know theyaren’t going to deal with immigra-tion, and there may be bans towhat you can own from offshore,but those are pretty minor.”

Steves told the News thatpoliticians, to date, have fearedspeaking to restrictions on foreignownership out of fears of chargesof racism (many of which haveoriginated from the developmentcommunity).

Meanwhile, Coun. Chak Au toldthe News he supports government-imposed restrictions to “cool down”the influx of foreign money, alongwith a suite of other supply mecha-nisms, to curb rising propertyvalues.

Economics academics fromthe University of B.C. and SimonFraser University are largely uni-fied in calling for not only housingsupply initiatives, but also restric-tions on demand, namely foreigninvestment, to reduce housingcosts, which have reached about$1,500 for a one-bedroom rental in

Richmond, according to Coun. BillMcNulty.

At the meeting, McNulty calledhousing costs in Metro Vancouver“diabolical.”

In the time it took to produce thestaff report, from March to May 31,benchmark prices for detachedhomes rose 19.9 per cent, to $1.64million (more than any other cityin Metro Vancouver). Townhousesrose 11.6 per cent, to $685,400.

Dang’s fears of mortgage foreclo-sures are being publicly debatedamongst investors, regardless ofrestrictions, with some shorting thehousing market while others insist-ing there is no bubble.

McNulty and Steves harkenedback to the 1970s when federally-funded co-ops were being built inRichmond.

“The province and federal gov-ernment are agonizing over what todo and one thing would be to bringback co-op housing,” said Steves.

Richmond has 2,513 non-marketco-op units that were built severaldecades ago. By 2020, 1,543 ofthose mortgages will expire, leav-ing the units without governmentfunding. The city stated in its reportthat while the federal governmentrecently invested $537 million toprovide maintenance on co-ops,no funding for new units has beenannounced. In Richmond, 641households are on a seven-year-long waiting list for subsidizedhousing.

Over the next 10 years, MetroVancouver has identified Rich-mond as needing 3,200 new rentalunits (1,300 for “very” low-incomehouseholds) and 10,800 marketunits. Last year, Richmond set arecord for development permitsbut added zero purpose-built rentalunits.

Over the past nine years, Rich-mond has added 894 affordablehousing units and 477 subsidizedrental units through development.

It was able to do so, in part, bycharging fees during rezoning. Lastyear, the city upped its rezoningfees by as much as 100 per cent,something Coun. Alexa Loo hasquestioned as counterintuitive toaffordable home ownership.

For example, a new townhouse

development now pays $4 persquare foot to the affordable hous-ing fund, which then pays for futuresubsidized housing developments.

Those development charges havelargely been expended, however,with recent developments for se-niors (Kiwanis towers) and vulner-able citizens (Storeys complex).

Presently, the city requires de-velopers to include five per cent ofall units in an 80-plus unit devel-opment to be under a permanenthousing agreement for low-incomefamilies. McNulty has said in thepast that figure should be 15 percent. The staff review is expectedto see a recommendation on thatpercentage, as well as the unitthreshold, by the end of the year.

Another aspect being looked at isa micro suites (under 400 squarefeet) policy near the Canada Line.

Staff have already put forth sug-gestions for council to consider,such as repurposing city-ownedlands for mixed-income housingdevelopments.

While 2011 statistics show aboutone in five Richmondites is living ator below the poverty line, plannersare cautious about under-reportedincomes determining subsidies.

“This may not reflect an accuratenumber of those who are truly con-sidered low-income residents, dueto Canadian and foreign income taxlaws,” noted the report.

Politicians representing municipalities from across the LowerMainland are nearly unified in their opposition to a replace-

ment bridge for the George Massey Tunnel connecting southRichmond to Delta.

On Wednesday, the Metro Vancouver board released itsreport on the bridge’s impact on regional planning, and con-cluded the new span will download costs onto cities, interruptroad networks and undermine the environment by inducingdemand for more cars, while negatively affecting transit rider-ship.

“We recognize the necessity to enhance the movement ofpeople and goods on Highway 99 and throughout the region,but the magnitude of a 10-lane bridge estimated at $3.5 bil-lion, has not been demonstrated and cannot be justified,” saidGreg Moore, chair of Metro Vancouver.

Largely at issue is how the bridge undermines the Mayors’Council’s 10-year transportation plan, in so much that it willpromote single-occupancy vehicle traffic and facilitate urbansprawl south of the Fraser River — the opposite of densifica-tion plans around existing and future rapid transit hubs.

“History has demonstrated the world over, you can’t reducecongestion by simply building more roads,” said Moore, via anonline news release.

“This project represents an expansion of car-oriented infra-structure and diverts crucial funds from transportation proj-ects that support the regional growth strategy,” added Moore.

Other concerns raised by Metro Vancouver include eco-logical disruption of the Fraser River, impacts on MetroVancouver infrastructure, such as water mains and DeasIsland Regional Park, downloading road improvement costson Richmond and Delta, insufficient consideration to climatechange and air quality and a lack of transparency with respectto design and construction, including a lack of considerationof alternatives.

B.C’s Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, ToddStone, was quick to shoot back at the criticism on Wednes-day.

Stone said the tunnel needs to be replaced before majorwork is needed on it, including seismic upgrades, which werelast done in 2008.

“Safety is the primary reason for why we need to replace thetunnel and replace it soon,” said Stone.

With 200-kilometres of new or improved highway lanes,Stone said the new “green” bridge will be environmentallyfriendly as it will reduce idling and has an HOV lane.

But Metro is calling for a federal environmental review bythe Minister of Environment and Climate Change, confidenta new federal government will consider the ecological impactof the bridge itself, as well as the increase in car traffic it willproduce.

Stone maintains the bridge will be fitted to accept a rapidtransit line.

Presently, the project is undergoing a provincial environ-mental review, something Metro Vancouver, as a stakeholder,has called “challenging” to provide input on more than 2,500pages of documents in just 15 days.

Furthermore, Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver’sutilities committee, also estimated the project could impactbetween $500 million to $1 billion of regional “infrastructureand assets.”

Meanwhile, the City of Richmond submitted its ongoingconcerns with the project, as part of the report.

Richmond city council has stated its preference to upgradethe existing tunnel or build a new one.

The city echoed concerns that the tolled bridge will nega-tively impact Richmond residents. It has called for equitablemobility pricing and/or bridge tolling across the region.

Richmond has also questioned the validity of traffic analyses(two surveys based on Bluetooth technology) and the fact thatthere have been no detailed reports on how traffic patternswill impact connecting local roads, particularly around bridgesand interchanges.

On Friday, the Ministry applied to remove land from theAgricultural Land Reserve (ALR) to expand Highway 99.However, it maintains the project will result in a net increasein farmland, as highway right-of-ways will be returned to theALR.

Richmond city council has asked for specific details on thisissue, but has yet to receive any.

Council is also asking for a detailed explanation as to whythe province went from a plan of possibly twinning the tunnelin 2006 to favouring a bridge in 2012.

Council and Metro Vancouver also maintain the provincehas been light on details as to the business case for thebridge, although some, such as Coun. Harold Steves, haveinsisted Port Metro Vancouver has lobbied successfully toremove the tunnel to usher in larger ships up the river.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson told media she disagreed with theboard’s report. Jackson supports port expansion up river andDelta is hoping to add a casino nearby the planned bridge.

Canadian history, boring?“Not in the least,” exclaimed

Susan Garrett, a Grade 4/5 teacher atSpul’u’kwuks elementary who has spentthe better part of three years writing thescript and song lyrics for a musical stageproduction that showcases important mo-ments in our nation’s past.

Called We Are Canadian, The TrueStory of Canada, it involved just about theentire student body of the west Richmondschool. And to accommodate that, theproduction needed the expanse of Gate-way Theatre’s stage where, on Wednesdaynight, the performance was held.

“It’s been a pretty ambitious undertak-ing,” said Garrett on Wednesday morning,just prior to a final dress rehearsal. “I grewup in Canada, but I must have missed theCanadian history component in Grade 5because I didn’t know all of this history.And when I did my teacher training in theU.S., at the University of Washington, Ididn’t get it there, either.”

So, Garrett literally went back to schoolto gather information about Canada’s pastthat fits in with the Grade 5 curriculumand fashioned a musical around it.

“We have kids at the beginning of theplay talking about how boring Canadianhistory is, and suddenly out pops a pair oftalking beavers from the Fraser River andsets them straight,” Garrett said.

The beavers, Mr. and Mrs. Puck, takethe children on a trip back in time fromthe day of the Musqueam people in theFraser River delta area, on through to theearly explorers, the time of the Voyageurs,the underground railway that providedfreedom in Canada for American slaves,the gold rush, development of the Cana-dian National Railroad and the contribu-tions of Canada’s soldiers over the years.

Garrett said the composition of familiesat Spul’u’kwuks rests heavily on newimmigrants, so the musical’s focus is ofgreat importance, especially the portionsdealing with the role Chinese labourersplayed in constructing the national railwaylinking Canada from east to west.

“It was important to have includedsomething that spoke to their culture di-rectly,” Garrett said, adding the song Menof China tells their tale.

The production features about a dozensongs, each with their own video that Gar-rett researched and collected images forfrom various archival sources in Rich-mond and Vancouver.

This is not the first stage productionGarret has undertaken from the ground

up. A few years ago she staged one focus-ing on fairies that was performed at theschool.

For the current one, a portion of the playwas performed by Grade 3 and 5 studentslast year, also at the school. When thedecision was made to include the bulk ofthe school’s population this year, GatewayTheatre was the first choice of venue.

Helping with the timing for such a large

scale event is the fact Spul’u’kwuks runson a balanced school schedule that hasstudents break for summer holidays atthe end of July.

And since Canada Day was right aroundthe corner, Garrett said the timing wasperfect for the footlights to be lit for herhistorical journey.

“It’s a nice patriotic look at our country,”she said.

In the spirit of Canada Day,here is a wine-soaked

toast to our “Native Land.”O is for Okanagan Valley,

B.C.’s largest wine regionand Canada’s secondlargest. From Lake Countrynorth of Kelowna southto Osoyoos there are 133wineries.

H is for Hainle in Peach-land, a pioneer in icewineand organic farming. Theyare now concentrating onPinot Noir.

C is for Calona. The Okan-agan’s first commercialwinery, they began in thedepression making applewine. Now they are wellknown for inexpensive butgood wines.

A is forAndré’s (nowcalled PellerEstate). Theyhad a run-away successin the 1960’swith a bubblycalled Crack-ling Rosé.Neil Diamondsaluted thatwine withhis big hit,CracklingRosie.

N is forNk’mipCellars, the first Aboriginal-owned and-operated wineryin North America. Situatedon the east Osoyoos Bench,they have a restaurant over-looking the vineyard andOsoyoos Lake.

A is for Arrowleaf Cel-lars, located in gorgeousLake Country, just north ofKelowna. Their Pinot Noirand Pinot Gris offer greatvalue.

D is for Domaine de Cha-

berton (Chaberton EstateWinery), the first grapewinery in the Fraser Valleyestablished by a Frenchwinemaker 25 years ago. Itis now the largest winery inthe Valley, located in Lang-ley. Be sure to enjoy lunchor dinner in their BacchusBistro.

A is for Acid, the life forcein a wine. If wines are tooacidic, they are sour; if theydon’t have enough acid,they are lifeless. Whitewines have more acid thanreds.

O is for Ontario, Canada’slargest wine region. TheNiagara Region is the larg-est and is renowned for

their icewineand for theirRieslings.

U is forUmami, thesavoury fla-vour in reds.Soya sauce,tomatosauce, stews,mushroomsand roastedmeats arerich in umamiand that’swhy they gowell with redwines.

R is forRiesling, perhaps the great-est white wine in the world,yet people erroneouslythink it is just a mediocre,sweet wine. Both Ontarioand the Okanagan makeexcellent Rieslings.

H is for Hester Creek,situated along the GoldenMile in Oliver. Theyproduce the only Treb-biano, an Italian variety, inCanada.

O is for Orofino, a won-

derful boutique winery inthe Similakemeen Val-ley, which is minutesaway from the Okanagan.Surprisingly, few touristsventure there.

M is for Mission Hill inWest Kelowna, B.C.’s mostopulent winery, a tribute toRobert Mondavi in Napa,and built on the successof Mike’s Hard Lemonade.

Enjoy the spectacular set-ting and a gourmet outdoorrestaurant.

E is for Ehrenfelser, agrape developed in Ger-many and now producedin B.C. This is the quintes-sential summer wine, full ofbright fruit such as apricotsand peaches!

A is for Alsace, the regionof France where they make

German wines in a Frenchstyle. Because the Okana-gan is the same latitudeas Alsace, many success-ful Alsatian grapes suchas Riesling and Pinot Grismake delicious wines inB.C, too.

N is for nose; the smellof a wine. The nose of ayoung wine is often simpleand is called the aroma.

The nose of an aged wine,usually a red, is more com-plex and is known as thebouquet.

D is for decanter, a glassvessel used to aerate thewine and to let it breathand release the wine’snoble character.

Ateacher who has been volunteering tomake a difference in high school athletics

for nearly four decades has been recognizedby the Richmond Secondary Schools AthleticAssociation.

Gayle Guest is the 2016 recipient ofthe Bob Jackson Merit Award of Distin-guished Athletic Administration.

The McMath teacher was honoured atthe annual RSSAA Coaches Banquet lastweek at Burnett secondary.

Guest has been involved in high schoolsports within Richmond for 38 years; thelast 24 she has served as RSSAA presi-dent. This past school year proved to beher last overseeing the association.

It was only appropriate Bob Jacksonpresented the award named after him to alongtime colleague and good friend.

The award honours outstanding contri-bution to athletic programs in Richmondsecondary schools for at least 15 years.

It is presented to an individual who hasshown outstanding leadership in athleticadministration.

“I think the RSSAA has selected a mostappropriate and outstanding recipient ofthe (merit award),” said Jackson.

“During Gayle’s tenure as RSSAA presi-dent there has been a dramatic growth in

the number of activities, in the number ofschool teams and in number of partici-pants.”

Guest’s remarkable run began when sheinitially volunteered to coach the seniorgirls softball team at Steveston High backin 1979.

That fall, she joined the staff at

Burnett junior secondary where shetaught PE and social studies, and laterbusiness education.

During her 13 years at the school sheserved as athletic director for an extendedtime.

She would also coach girls volleyballand basketball, boys volleyball, gymnas-

tics, track and field and cheerleader.A two-year stint at Richmond High saw

her coach the Colts field hockey team tothe Vancouver league title and a provin-cial berth. Five of her players went on toplay at the CIS level.

In 1995, Guest would spend the nextthree years teaching business educationat McNair where she continued to coachfield hockey.

She was also heavily involved in theRSSAA executive, serving as a member-at-large, secretary-treasurer and vice-president over a seven year span beforetaking over as president.

It was during this tenure, schools sawa huge increase in participation level ofsports, especially among females thanksto the establishment of juvenile bas-ketball, soccer, field hockey and golfleagues.

Guest also was vice-president of theVancouver and District Inter-High AthleticAssociation for 24 years. She also held anexecutive role for B.C. School Sports foreight years.

This isn’t the first time Guest has beenrecognized for her tireless work. In 1999,she was presented the B.C. SchoolSports Honour Award. A year later shewas presented the Leadership Award byProMotion Plus, a provincial organizationthat promotes girls and women in physicalactivity and sport.

SPORTSBeyond the Scores

It was a near miss for Nathan Hirayamaand Canada at the Rio 2016 Olympic

Repechage Rugby Sevens qualifier inMonaco.

Canada’s bid for a Summer Games berthended with a 14-12 quarter-final loss toRussia. The Canadians scored late butcouldn’t add the conversion.

Canada then closed out the tournamentwith wins over Ireland (24-19) and HongKong (24-7) to finish fifth.

Day one saw Canada open with a 33-0

triumph over Uruguay as Hirayama con-nected on four of five conversions.

The Canadians then rolled to a 57-0 vic-tory against Sri Lanka before concludingaction with a 21-19 loss to Germany. A tryin the final minute by the Germans pro-vided the difference.

Hirayama, 28, has been a mainstay withthe Canada Sevens program since makinghis debut in 2006.
