T he 40 hours it took the RCMP to inform the public of basic details of a gang- related shooting late Friday night is an- other example of why the City of Richmond ought to look seriously at its own municipal police force, according to city council’s public safety committee chair. “It’s very concerning. The public needed to be aware of what took place and this is one of the things about the RCMP that really bothers me. They do their own thing for whatever reason,” said committee chair Coun. Bill McNulty, when asked about the incident near Dover Park in the Thompson neighbourhood. Presently, the city is researching the impli- cations of shedding the RCMP from day-to- day police services, in place of a municipal police service, similar to Vancouver or New Westminster. McNulty said he was also the acting mayor at the time of the incident, and yet he was not informed of it beyond what he saw in the media over the weekend. He said, under normal circumstances, Mayor Malcolm Brodie is immediately informed of such high-profile incidents and then the information is brought to council- lors. “I was not informed in any way, shape or form,” said McNulty. “This is why we’re looking at an alterna- tive. This is a good example right here,” he added. Last month, Brodie an- nounced that the city is preparing to reveal to the public its research into a municipal police force as early as the end of the year. Should Richmond City Council decide to part ways with the RCMP, the process would take two years. Brodie has said some police work performed by the RCMP, including homicide investigations, could be kept on a contractual basis. On Friday, Mounties attended the area of No. 2 Road and Westminster Highway shortly after 11 p.m. and cordoned off part of a neighbourhood adjacent to Dover Park. Area residents told Global News BC they heard gunshots and an apparent trail of blood was spotted in the area leading to the nearby Chevron gas station.

At 3 p.m. on Sunday, the RCMP held a news conference where some of the more apparent details (such as the fact it was a shooting) were announced. Acting RCMP spokesperson Const.

The 40 hours it took the RCMP to informthe public of basic details of a gang-related shooting late Friday night is an-

other example of why the City of Richmondought to look seriously at its own municipalpolice force, according to city council’spublic safety committee chair.

“It’s very concerning. The public neededto be aware of what took place and thisis one of the things about the RCMP thatreally bothers me. They do their own thingfor whatever reason,” said committee chairCoun. Bill McNulty, when asked about theincident near Dover Park in the Thompsonneighbourhood.

Presently, the city is researching the impli-cations of shedding the RCMP from day-to-day police services, in place of a municipalpolice service, similar to Vancouver or NewWestminster.

McNulty said he was also the acting mayorat the time of the incident, and yet he wasnot informed of it beyond what he saw in the

media over the weekend.He said, under normal circumstances,

Mayor Malcolm Brodie is immediatelyinformed of such high-profile incidents andthen the information is brought to council-lors.

“I was not informed in any way, shape orform,” saidMcNulty.

“This is whywe’re lookingat an alterna-tive. This is agood exampleright here,”he added.

Last month,Brodie an-nounced thatthe city ispreparing toreveal to thepublic its research into a municipal policeforce as early as the end of the year.

Should Richmond City Council decide topart ways with the RCMP, the process wouldtake two years. Brodie has said some police

work performed by the RCMP, includinghomicide investigations, could be kept on acontractual basis.

On Friday, Mounties attended the areaof No. 2 Road and Westminster Highwayshortly after 11 p.m. and cordoned off partof a neighbourhood adjacent to Dover Park.

Area residents told Global News BC theyheard gunshots and an apparent trail ofblood was spotted in the area leading to thenearby Chevron gas station.

Meanwhile, police provided zero detailson the incident as late as Sunday afternoon.At 3 p.m. on Sunday, the RCMP held anews conference where some of the moreapparent details (such as the fact it was ashooting) were announced.

Tories snub Englishmedia outlets

RCMP: Shooter had ‘zero regard for the residents’

NEWS in the City

Continued from page 1She said investigators from the Com-

bined Forces Special Enforcement Unit ofBC (CFSEU-BC) believe that the shootingwas targeted, given the gang associationof the victim.

Richmond RCMP spokesperson DennisHwang said on Monday the delay was “tomake sure the information was correctand didn’t jeopardize the operation.”

When asked if such a delay is normal,Hwang said information is released ona case-by-case basis, and in this casepolice knew the public wasn’t at risk dueto the shooting’s targeted nature.

No details of the gangs were releasedbut the Vancouver Sun reported — via itsown sources — on Monday the victim is33-year-old Matin Bin Laden Pouyan, whois also believed to have been involved in a

2007 shootout in Dover Park.The Sun reported Pouyan has been

sentenced to prison on four separate oc-casions, even after being given a lifetimefirearms ban.

On Sunday, Peralta re-emphasizedthe RCMP’s commitment to communitysafety.

“The individuals involved did so withzero regard for the residents in the sur-

rounding area.“We want to stress to the public that

we take their safety seriously and haveengaged every available resource to in-vestigate this crime,” said Peralta, who isnow asking any potential witnesses to theshooting to contact Richmond RCMP, ifthey have not done so already. CrimeStop-pers can field anonymous tips by calling1-800-222-8477.

English-language media outlets were not privy to a “mediaroundtable” on immigration statistics held last Friday by

Minister of Multiculturalism Jason Kenney.The Conservative Party of Canada minister took to Twitter

to announce the roundtable, which he said was “primarily areview” of Chinese immigration statistics.

Kenney said he wasn’t certain who got the roundtable invita-tion, however, he did state that “mainstream media are neverinterested in covering” immigration issues.

Ana Curic, a spokesperson for Kenney, said the roundtablewas not an official Conservative event, but rather party sup-porters organized it.

A source for the Richmond News forwarded the mediainvitation from Conservative supporter and past Burnabycandidate Ronald Leung, who appeared to have organized theroundtable.

Leung — who is thought to be advising the party on the localcampaign trail — via his private email account, tells “mediafriends” that “Jason Kenney would like to share with you” in-formation on immigration policies related to skills, investment

and refugee programs at theContinental Seafood Restaurant.

Leung told the News theroundtable was in response tocomments made to Chinesemedia by Liberal candidate JohnMcCallum.

As such, the invitation —which makes no mention ofMcCallum — to all media wasnot relevant, said Leung.

Curic said media advisoriesgo out to all media for “official”events.

Kenney took issue withsome reporters questioning hisChinese media-only event onTwitter.

“I attended two Chinese community events yesterday forwhich general advisories (were) issued, but only Chinese-language media showed up, which is par for the course,”wrote Kenney, who then stated that “mainstream” mediafailed to adequately cover the cancellation of the ImmigrantInvestor Program (citing opposition from theNew Democrats and Liberals was largelyunreported).

At the roundtable, most local Chinese me-dia outlets were present. On the same day,Kenney also visited OMNI News BC to speakto Chinese and Punjabi programs. He thenvisited a Chinese business group, citing itssupport for his party’s low taxes.

Richmond Centre MP Alice Wong andSteveston-Richmond East candidate KennyChiu also joined him at a local Chineserestaurant.

This is not the first time Conservativepoliticians have excluded English-languagemedia from local events. In 2012, Wong onlybeckoned Asian media to a seafood restaurant to eat shark finsoup.

Such selective invitations have raised questions as towhether politicians are cherry-picking facts and/or telling thetruth. In January 2014, 24 Hours was provided audio from

another unpublicized roundtable with Chinese media.There, according to 24 Hours, Prime Minister Stephen

Harper told his hand-picked media cohort that Canada hadexperienced employment growth, despite statistics to thecontrary.

At Friday’s roundtable, Kenney presented media with whathe called “pro-growth” figures on immigration, citing the

Conservatives have allowed higher levels ofimmigration compared to the Liberals in theirmost recent first eight years of rule, respec-tively.

He noted, under the Conservatives since2006, immigration from China has risen by22 per cent.

Kenney also noted visitor “super” visashave allowed more grandparents to come toCanada.

And, since 2005, the Conservatives havetripled settlement funding for newcomers(now $925 million in 2014).

Notably, the Richmond News won a 2014national community newspaper award forhighlighting efforts to incorporate the Chinese

community with the local food movement.This year, it took home another award for a feature on the

province’s apology for the Chinese head tax. The News hasalso tracked local reaction to the cancellation of the ImmigrantInvestor Program and frequently covers multicultural events.

The mandatory session will outline informa-tion on the project’s operational impact, aswell as emergency response plans. VAFFCstaff will be on hand to answer questionsfrom the public.

The project must still receive provincial,federal and municipal permits, however theVAFFC has already been granted an Envi-ronmental Assessment Certificate from theProvince of B.C.

The project, should it get the permits as ex-pected, will usher in large fuel tankers alongthe Fraser River as well as a new pipeline,which will cut across east Richmond and theBridgeport areas on its way to YVR.

The fuel unloading facility will be built at15611 Williams Rd., about 500 metres awayfrom the entertainment complex.

facility will be based on the south arm of theFraser River.

The project has faced opposition from theCity of Richmond and the general public,including community group VAPOR, whichunsuccessfully tried to stall it in court byclaiming the public consultation process wasflawed.

Golf balls flew in the sky during the day andmoney flowed out of wallets at night, mak-

ing the 24th annual YVR for Kids fundraiseranother huge success.

Last Thursday, 144 people teed off at theQuilchena Golf and Country Club and 380 at-tended the dinner and auction at the Shera-ton Vancouver Airport, raising an estimated$250,000 for Canuck Place and a dozenother charities, including Dreams Take Flight,Hope Air, Richmond Christmas Fund, LittleWings Daycare and RichmondTherapeutic EquestrianSociety.

“I’m personally delighted tosee this continue on with thesupport of the airport commu-nity,” said co-founder WayneDuzita. “I’m already lookingforward to next year.”

About $3.6 million has beenraised in the last 24 years,with $2.2 million going directlyto Canuck Place. The mostraised in a single year was

$400,000. “We fundraise 80 per cent of ourbudget every single year,” said Canuck PlaceCEO Margaret McNeil.

“Events like this help us provide hospicecare to kids who are not expected to live pastthe age of 19.”

Canuck Place provides support and atemporary home to children and their familiesthroughout B.C. and Yukon.

Craig Richmond remembers participatingin the event in its early years when he joinedthe airport in 1995. After a stint outside ofCanada, he returned last year, taking thepresident and CEO position of the VancouverAirport Authority. He was surprised with howmuch the event changed.

“This used to be a relatively small, airportevent,” Richmond said. “Inever thought it would becomethis big.”

The golf tournament startedin the mid-1980s as a ca-sual event for American andCanadian law enforcementofficers working at VancouverInternational Airport. In 1991,the event was revamped intoa major fundraiser after Brianand Audrey Flagel, both ofwhom worked for Canada

Customs, lost their daughter Elsie to canceron the day of the event, which was cancelleddue to bad weather.

It was only when the tournament wasrescheduled that the Flagels’ colleaguesdecided to turn the golf tournament into acharity fundraiser in Elsie’s honour.

“Originally, we would just go out and havea great big party,” Flagel said. “But then wedecided to do something useful. I thought wecould aim to raise $5,000 for Canuck Place,but Wayne (Duzita) said to aim higher.”

Originally called Can-Am Golf for Kids, theevent raised about $35,000 in its inaugural

year. Canuck Place was chosen as a recipi-ent because one of the driving forces behindcreating that hospice for terminally ill childrenwas pediatric nurse, Brenda Eng, who nursedElsie at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

“It was a positive outcome from somethingtragic,” Flagel said. “The golf tournamentwas so successful, we thought how we couldmake it better next year and we continued tomake it better and better and better.”

Planning for the silver anniversary has beenin the works for a year already, but people canexpect something really big and special nextyear, Duzita said.

Jinous Nourinejad col-lapsed at the news. It was

August 1980.Her father, along with 10

other high-ranking Baha’is,disappeared in Tehran andwas never heard from again.

“For me, it’s like an openwound. It’s never closedand it’s never healed,” saidNourinejad, a long-timeRichmond resident and localbusiness owner.

Last week, at a home nearRailway Avenue and BlundellRoad, Nourinejad and othermembers of the RichmondBaha’i community gatheredto commemorate the 35thanniversary of the disappear-ance of the National SpiritualAssembly of the Baha’is ofIran. Her father was amongthe members of that assem-bly.

“My father and the othersdisappeared on Aug. 21,1980, and to this day, wedon’t know what happened tothem,” she said.

“On that fateful night, thenine members and two auxil-iary board members gathered

for an urgent meeting whena group of armed revolution-ary guards entered the room,handcuffed and blindfoldedthem, and took them to anunknown location.”

The host of where themeeting was held alerted thefamilies, who went to everygovernment agency, but alldenied any knowledge orresponsibility.

“To this day, we knownothing of their fate,” addedNourinejad.

After the 1979 IslamicRevolution in Iran, “the mul-lahs of different cities began

to persecute the Baha’is byburning their homes, closingtheir stores, imprisoning andtorturing them, and denyingtheir children education,”according to Nourinejad.

As the revolution becamemore firmly established, thepersecutions escalated.

“The central governmenthad a policy to systematicallyeradicate the Baha’i faith,which is Iran’s largest reli-gious minority,” she said.

“They started by firing allBaha’i government em-ployees and freezing theirpensions.”

As there is no clergy in theBaha’i faith, the next stepwas to target the institutionsof the faith, she explained.

“They wanted to arrest thehead of the Baha’i faith inIran. They thought by doingthat, it would destroy the faithonce and for all.

“Since 2005, more than700 Baha’is have beenarrested and the numberof Baha’is in prison hasrisen from fewer than five to

more than 115 — all solelybecause of their religiousbelief.”

Those beliefs includethe oneness of humanity,equality of men and women,harmony of science andreligion, universal education,and elimination of all formsof prejudice.

Food can make a party. And organizers of the inauguralRichmond World Festival announced there’s plenty

going to be served up during the free event at MinoruPark on Sept. 5, as an anticipated convoy of 35-plus foodtrucks will be rolling into the site from throughout MetroVancouver.

However, those looking for a beer to wash down theirmeals will be out of luck as there are no plans for a beergarden.

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said serving alcoholduring the event was considered. But costs associatedwith setting up a beer garden and additional securityruled it out, at least for the first year of the festival which isexpected to draw around 40,000 during the course of theday.

While that may leave some festival-goers dry, theirtastebuds should be in for a trek around the globe withfood choices spanning Asia, Europe, the Middle East, plusplenty of North American favourites, from First Nationsfare to BeaverTails pastry and kettle corn.

In addition to the food trucks, a number of acclaimedlocal chefs will be sharing their secrets throughout the dayon the Richmond Centre Culinary stage.

Among them will be MasterChef Canada contestant,Tammy Wood.

Award-winning chefs will include Jade Seafood Restau-rant’s Tony Luk (Chef of the Year winner in the Chinese

Restaurant Awards) and Take a Bite of BC program’sexecutive chef, Tony Randle (Top chef award winner fromthe Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation).

Other top, Richmond-based chefs appearing will beRobert Uy (Westin Wall Centre), Danilo Ibarra (Vancou-ver Airport Marriott), Max Straczek (Fable Kitchen) andAmanda Kroetsch (The Living Café).

With the food options sorted, other festival attractions willinclude the Global Village, with interactive cultural activi-ties and performances; Wide World of Sports, showcasingculturally unique sports from across the globe; Kids World,presented by Cowell Auto Group with fun and educationalactivities for children; World of Poetry; Artisan Marketplaceand more.

And music will be provided by headliners Matt and Kim,

and Juno Award winner Alex Cuba on the YVR MosaicMain Stage.

Other performances will be provided by Bhangra charttoppers, En Karma; Kara-Kata Afrobeat Group; SongpatiLatin Band; and Roku Sichi Taiko drummers. Additionalmusic and dance performances will be featured through-out the day on the Global Village Stage and in the CoastCapital Savings PopUp Performance Zone. Also, YourKontinent Digital Carnival will light up the night with an ex-citing multimedia light and music show that incorporatesart, nature and technology.

Dear Editor,Re: “Flexibility is key to adding

property value,” Aug. 14.I did not know anything about

the Land Use Contracts (LUCs)until I read the letter. This is thefirst that I have heard about itin the 30 years I have lived inRichmond. Why is it an urgentconcern?

Just come to my neighbour-hood and see the mega houseon Colonial Drive near Citadel

Crescent. I never could haveguessed that anyone wouldbuild such a large home onsuch a small lot.

Homes not far from my areawith larger lots have been drop-ping like flies.

Letter-writer M. Ting, says shehas been following the debateover cancelling the LUCs. Thiswould possibly result in her los-ing thousands of dollars if shesold her home. She says she

has concerns over the aesthet-ics of her neighbourhood.

It sounds to me like she isthinking of selling in a fewyears and wants to get themost profit out of her property.I don’t think she is too worriedabout whether a developer maydemolish the house and builda mega house that will not fit inwith her neighbours.

We need to stop the landuse contracts now! We need

to send a message to councilthat neighbourhoods of modesthomes don’t want mega homes.We like our more affordableolder homes, not mega build-ings in the style of apartmentblocks.

I’ve called Richmond myhome for many years. I haveseen a lot of changes over theyears, but enough is enough.

Dear Editor,Re: “See benefits of immigration,” Letters,

Aug. 14.An interesting letter from Emilie Henderson,

wherein she expresses her pleasure at living inRichmond past, present and to the future.

However, Ms. Henderson never addresses theconcerns that motivate those whose commentsshe classifies as ignorant.

Yes, immigrants have been coming to thiscountry for decades and have enriched thecities, towns and neighbourhoods in which theyhave moved into.

Canadians have always welcomed those whowere selected by our government to participatein all this great country has to offer, and theappreciation was returned many times over bygrateful immigrants like myself, whose proudestday in this country was receiving my citizenshippapers.

The causes of the outrage that is manifestingitself in the letters to the local papers, in whichMs. Henderson alludes, starts with the disap-pearance of our beloved neighbourhoods.

Sadly, anyone who walks the roads in Rich-mond will notice the complete chaos that hastaken over, as perfectly livable houses are torndown, and the lawns, flowers and shrubbery gowith them, to be replaced by construction sites,that are an eyesore, constant peace-destroyingcrashing and banging, trucks rolling up at allhours, and a city council that refused to see thisas a problem.

It is surprising that Ms. Henderson hasn`tnoticed this or if she has, it just doesn`t concernher.

Secondly, there is the very real concern of the“Chinese” signs, that, regardless of all the prom-ises of education, etc., is getting worse; as a visitto Lansdowne Mall will readily attest.

Maybe Ms. Henderson doesn`t find this situ-ation offensive, that those who cannot speak aChinese dialect are having their city reduced insize, as these signs creep further down No. 3Road and onto construction sites throughout thecity.

Canada isn`t perfect and our country hasmade major mistakes; Internment of Canadiansof Japanese descent and the Chinese headtax are examples, but our governments haveapologized and offered compensation, whichwas eagerly accepted.

So here we are, with one of the greatestdemocracies in the world, renowned for ourcompassion, tolerance, inclusivity and equalityfor all.

We only expect immigrants to learn thelanguage, integrate, embrace our culture andbecome proud Canadians.

Dear Editor,As a wonderful summer season begins

to fade, I would like to extend my grati-tude to all those who joined together tomake the Friday evening music seasonsat the Cannery in Steveston a total suc-cess.

The popularity in these events hasgrown from year to year, to the point thatmost musicians are playing to a full housewith an overflow audience sitting on thegrass outside the gate.

While the audience may be graying

into their twilight years, the nostalgia ofyester-years is brought to life with themusic, jokes and antics of the musicians,everyone an entertainer in their own right.

Having attended most evening sessionsover the years, I can testify that the audi-ence is a dedicated lot.

These are events that make Stevestonso special and it takes the effort of all ofus to keep it this way.

Alan JohnsonRichmond

(but I wish that it could be Steveston)

Thanks for thememories

Enough is enough with the mega homes

Dear Editor;Re: “Vote splitting may be best option,”

Letters, Aug. 14I propose a different vote split from the

one the writer is suggesting.Here is the basis for my proposal. The

world is not an easy place to live in, do busi-ness and create a good standard of living.

The Liberals are led by a man who votedin favour of the government’s security billand then stepped outside the House andtold the media he would dismantle this billwhen he runs the government. What?

Contrary to his well-publicized statement,managing a budget is tough work requiringtough decisions. Most Canadians know that.

Apparently, the Liberal leader does not

know that. The NDP has never seen some-thing that should not be taxed and if it isbeing taxed, then increase the tax.

The NDP leader, in recently proposingan increase in a particular tax, was forcedto admit that he had no idea what was thecurrent tax rate.

So, here is my vote split plan: Elect twosolid, family-oriented Conservative MPs toassist the Prime Minister. By doing so, wekeep a strong, experienced hand on theeconomy and we steer towards growth,security and keeping more money in thepockets of taxpayers, rather than in thehands of bureaucrats.

LETTERSto the Editor

Richmond drivers need tomind their manners

Time to slow down for kids

Dear Editor,I agree with readers’ commentary that

there are drivers in Richmond (and beyond)who are dangerous and inconsiderate. I seelots of speeding, not stopping at crosswalks,tailgating, etc.

Today, I witnessed a road rage incidentthat was aggressive and scary. I don’t knowwhat precipitated the incident while I waswalking north on Garden City Road, but theconclusion involved a driver, in a white cargoing north, honking aggressively, tailgatingand pulling up beside the driver in a red car(who seemed to be minding his or her ownbusiness, from what I observed), stick anarm out the window to give the driver in thered car the finger, yelling angrily, and then,thankfully for the person in the red car, tak-ing off.

The question has been asked, “How canwe make roads safer for drivers and pe-destrians?” I think roads would be safer ifpeople were considerate and obeyed trafficrules and signs.

This summer I drove in England.Aside from the obvious adjustment of driv-

ing on the left, I have never felt safer driving

on highways and roads, and this was in thevicinity of London, so there was lots of traffic.

This was in part because the conse-quences for traffic violations are severe, andeveryone knows it.

The vast majority of drivers go the postedspeed limit, which changes depending onthe volume of traffic, leave space betweentheir car and the car in front, signal so otherdrivers know their intentions, etc.

I was also told that, with a history ofqueueing, people know to take their turn.This “taking their turn” is really significant, Ithink.

In my opinion, roads in Richmond (andbeyond) would be safer if people took theirturn, which means being considerate andobeying traffic rules and signs.

But since that doesn’t appear to be likelyany time soon for a portion of the drivingpopulation, maybe mandatory driver educa-tion classes following even a minor infrac-tion, really stiff traffic fines, and losing theprivilege of driving for an extended period oftime might work!

Dear Editor,Re: “New crop of farmers,” News, Aug. 14.We are writing with a correction to the ar-

ticle about the impact of land speculation onfarming and local food supply in Richmond.

Our land lease for running Sweet Digz Farmis not $250/acre per month. The going ratefor farmland in Richmond is $250/acre peryear (farmers do not typically reveal theirexact lease arrangement).

The important issue for people to realizeis this: It is not unaffordable to lease farm-land, but it has become unaffordable to buyfarmland.

The challenge of leasing is not the cost, itis the lack of security that the lease will berenewed. With little to no long-term securityin land tenure, it is an immense risk to investin building soil fertility, infrastructure, or the

growth of a farm business, and farmers arevery vulnerable to being in good favour withthe landowner.

Furthermore, with the increase in the devel-oped residential footprint of farmland, thereis a dwindling amount of acreage available tofarm.

The future of Richmond’s farming economyhangs in the balance — so we must in-creasingly pressure politicians at all levelsto strengthen the provincial ALR, limit thefootprint of non-agricultural development,and strengthen Richmond’s regulation andenforcement of our priceless agricultural land.

For our part, alongside our few fellowRichmond farmers, the best way to protectfarmland is to farm it.

Three decades is quite a long time.In Charlotte Diamond terms, that’s

a shade under 44,000 hugs — that’s theminimum.

But that’s how many warm embracesthe local musician and singer inspired ifyou subscribed to one of her well-knownchildren’s hits “Four Hugs a Day.”

That song, plus a whole playlist of favou-rites and some new ones, will be performedat the final Music at the Cannery show thisFriday inside the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.

It was October 1985when Diamond took to thestage and shortly after-wards released 10 CarrotDiamond, a Juno Award-winning debut album.

Since then, there’s beenalmost countless showsspanning multiple genera-tions of toddlers who havegrown up to become par-ents and attend Diamond’sperformances with theirown children in tow.

It’s a career Diamondsaid she never expected tohave generated such a following over theyears.

“It seems to have gone by in the blinkof an eye,” Diamond said, adding that, forover three decades, she has recorded 13CDs, published numerous music books,

and played live to thousands.“I remember having 10 local kids —

including my two boys — on the cover ofthe LP, getting ready to bite into a carrot,”Diamond said laughing.

Prior to the album release Diamond — ateacher by trade — had gained notorietylocally in parent education programs inpreschools.

“Essentially, I was going around explain-ing all the neat things parents could domusically with kids,” she said.

Then, on Oct. 19, 1985, she played Gate-way Theatre and sold out two shows.

“It was 500 in one and 500 in the next,”she said. “I was off to a really good start.”

And while that was encouraging,Diamond said she neverthought 30 years latershe’d still be making musicand drawing crowds.

“I never even thought I’dhave the general success Ihave had with the music,”she said.

“It’s just amazing howmany adults know “FourHugs a Day”, “I am aPizza”, and “Octopus(Slippery Fish)” is still verypopular today.”

Right now, Diamond hasbeen busy putting the final

touches on her latest CD, Diamonds bythe Sea, which takes her into a new realmby focusing her musical talents on theenvironment.

It’s plural in “Diamonds” because she isaccompanied by her son Matt on the CD.

“Taking care of the environment and be-coming acquainted with it, I’ve always beenreally attached to the ocean and the com-ing and goings of the salmon,” she said,adding her husband, Harry, was a longtimecommercial salmon fisherman before hesold his boat and became her accountantand manager.

“So, songs like “Ottie the Otter” talksabout what an otter does,” she said, “howhe floats on the kelp and dives down to eatsea urchins.

“Those are some of the things I’ve ob-served. That’s why there’s a strong environ-

mental focus.”Last year, Diamond opened the Music at

the Cannery series, and now she’s thrilledto close the 2015 version with a bow to hercareer to date.

“I see this as celebration of not only ofwhat has been, but the writing of 16 brandnew songs that few people have heard,”she said. “And it’s a real plunge into newcreativity.”

Diamond plays at the Music at the Can-nery Aug. 28 starting at 6:30 p.m. Admis-sion is by donation. For more details, visitgulfofgeorgiacannery.org.

! The Will toBuild, put onby Hong Kong’sTheatre du Pif,is about theendless cycleof developmentand re-develop-ment in HongKong. Much ofthese experi-ences resonatein Richmondtoday. Photosubmitted.

ARTS in the City

Taking stage to the great outdoors

Gateway Theatre is kickingoff the second season

of its Pacific Festival Sept.3 and 4 with a productionstaged in the great outdoorsthat draws some parallelswith Richmond’s currentgrowing pains.

The Will to Build by HongKong’s Theatre du Pif views

the endless cycle of develop-ment and re-development inthat city using the impact ofverbatim transcripts takenfrom interviews from thoseon the front lines: construc-tion workers, architects andresidents who live a “caged”existence in homes that areseemingly mirrored endlessly

in dense zones in the city.The production was

brought to the stage byTheatre du Pif in 2008 at theNew Vision Arts Festival.

That was a time whenquestions were raised overdevelopment erasing someof the city’s most recogniz-able landmarks — Star

Ferry, Queen’s Pier andother older districts — re-placing them with malls andmulti-storey car parks, saidSean Curran who co-wrotethe production and alsoperforms in it.

“It felt like the heart andsoul of the city was being de-stroyed and basically for theprofit of a very small groupof people,” said Curran inan email from Hong Kongwhere he has lived for thepast 20 years after movingfrom Scotland to set up thetheatre company with BonniChan, the show’s director.

“People felt powerless, sowe decided to go out andinterview people from thecity and what they said to usbecame the source materialfor the production.”

Whole areas with tenementbuildings which once had alively community feel werereplaced by expensive apart-ment blocks, Curran said.

The result was a genera-tion of many 30-somethingsliving at home with their par-ents because sky-high rentsin the city made it unafford-able, and home ownershipnext to impossible.

Jovanni Sy, GatewayTheatre’s artistic director,said the subject draws somesimilarities close to home.

“Hong Kong, of course, ismuch more dense and big-ger,” Sy said.

“But the parallels arethere. We’re in boom timeshere, a phase of Richmond’sdevelopment where youcan’t go anywhere withoutseeing a crane and con-struction sites.

“And this production asksthose questions about whatare the ramifications whenthere is this relentless urgeto build and develop.”

Are there lessons for othercities, and their people, tolearn from this production?

Curran said that in 2008,English novelist Ian McEwanwas interviewed for the proj-ect while he was spendingtime in Hong Kong and saidthat if you destroy your past,then your city will bleed.

“A dramatic line, but ithas proved to be prophetic,”Curran said, referring to theumbrella movement protestswhich western media took asa cry for democracy.

Curran, on the other hand,felt the real protest wasone, “against the inequalityand an ever-widening gapbetween the rich and poorin the city.”

Community:More than landmarksFrom page 12

of advice for communities experiencingsimilar changes as Hong Kong, Curransaid communities are much more thanbricks and mortar and potential for profit.

“We found that in Hong Kong peoplehad a very strong emotional attachment toareas and landmarks in the city that unfor-tunately have now disappeared.”

He added the verbatim interviews alsohad many moving moments.

“People talked about their love for thecity even though much of it has disap-peared,” Curran said.

“And in the past year when we did theinterviews for this new version we werestruck by how many people now are stand-

ing up and saying we have had enough.”The Will to Build will be presented Sept.

3 and 4 outside Gateway Theatre in thegrassy area between the south parkinglot and the Gateway Theatre building — aplace called Gateway Theatre OutdoorPlaza.

Performances on both nights start at 7p.m. and will be weather-dependent, to apoint. Light rain will not cancel the event,but a downpour will move the productionindoors, Sy said.

While the performance is free, there islimited space, and registration on GatewayTheatre’s website is required.

Seating is not provided, so those attend-ing should be prepared to stand for thelength of the 45-minute show.

Bring out the vodkaand start cleaningThe Organically Clean Home shares its tips

We need totalk. Why

would anybody intheir right minduse perfectly goodvodka as a clean-ing agent?

As I sat at home last weekend frettingabout what a mess our place is, I resolvedto make more of an effort at cleaning.

So I read The Organically Clean Homeby Becky Rapinchuk and Clear the Clut-ter, Find Happiness by Donna Smallin.That’s where I learnedabout the double life thatvodka’s leading.

The first book has somefantastic green ideas forhow to make organic,chemical-free cleaningproducts.

Enter vodka.Apparently, if you need

a disinfecting spray foryour bathroom that smellsgood and does the trick,then a mixture of whitevinegar, vodka, lavenderessential oil and water isthe answer.

And if you have anyvodka leftover, well….youknow what to do.

For cleaning glass and mirrors withoutusing Windex, the author suggests a con-coction of water, vinegar, rubbing alcoholand peppermint essential oil. A couplemore ingredients and you’ve got yourself afancy martini!

I never knew cleaning could be thismuch fun.

Listing the basic ingredients along withtheir specialized uses, this handy littlebook will have you cleaning kitchens tobedrooms, floors to gardens, and play-

rooms to garages.And safely, too.

Once you’veconquered clean-ing, then comesde-cluttering.

You’ve heard thesaying, “nature abhors a vacuum”? Well,so do I.

In the interest of finding low-energycleaning ideas, I sat down with a martini (Imean tea) and read Clear the Clutter, FindHappiness.

Taking a very “Zen” ap-proach to simplifying lifeand eliminating clutter,this book offers bite-sizedadvice and encourage-ment, so you don’t getoverwhelmed and de-pressed by the clutter —or the book.

For example, ask your-self, “What’s the worstthing that could possiblyhappen if I let this go?”

If you can live with theconsequences, you canlive without the thing.

Or this: “If it takes longerthan 60 seconds to decideif you should keep some-

thing, you probably don’t need it.”Not exactly brain surgery, but it’s one

approach.For those of you who would rather medi-

tate than clean and declutter your home,this might just be your ticket to nirvana.

Or you could read the ridiculouslypopular book The Life-changing Magic ofTidying Up: the Japanese Art of Declutter-ing and Organizing by Marie Kondo.

Boy vs. Beast: Aquatan by Mac ParkReviewed by Derek L. Age 6.This book is

about a boy namedKai versus a beast(water elemental).In the end Kai wonusing the torpedocrossbow.

I like this bookbecause the beastlooks cool. It hasa snake-like bodythat can coil uplike a figure eight.

Island Trilogy by Gordon KormanReviewed by Raveen D. Age 10.This series of books is about six kids

who are forced onto a boat with a terriblecaptain. They are shipwrecked onto a tinydesert island where they must survive untilthey are rescued. Will they make it?

I like this bookbecause it is veryemotional, mixedin with laughterand fear at thesame time.

The author dida very good job ofkeeping your fullattention in thebook.

I couldn’t put it down until I finished it!There are three books in the series.

Vanishing Acts by Leslie MargolisReviewed by Aditi S. Age 11This book is

about a girl namedMaggie who tries tofind an actor whodisappeared.

She also tries tosolve the mysteryof who attackedthe dogs.

I like this bookbecause it takes alot of pieces fromdifferent parts ofthe story.

The pieces turn out to be clues for solv-ing the main problem. In addition, I likehow the author uses suspense.

The suspense made me feel like I couldnot stop reading the book.

SPORTS BehindtheScores

Rapids end season in style at NationalsRichmond Rapids Swim Club

capped a highly productive sea-son with its largest medal haul everat the National Age Group Champi-onships in Quebec City.The Rapids brought 12 swim-

mers back east to participate in thefive-day long meet that featurednearly 900 competitors from acrossthe country. Seven made it to thepodium resulting in 16 individualmedal performances. That left theRapids sixth overall in the finalmedal standings and 12th in com-bined team scoresAmanda McCallum captured the

first medal and national title with awin in the U12 200 backstroke onthe first day of the meet — afternarrowly missing the medals twicein 2014. She dropped over twoseconds from her best time toleave the field behind in the final50 meters, winning by two bodylengths.McCallum would go on to earn

six more medal swims, for a totalof two silvers and five golds. Thesilvers came in the 50 backstrokeand 200 freestyle, coming backfrom deep in the pack in both tostamp her place on the podium.The rest of her medal swims were

dominant performances.In addition to the 200 back,

McCallum won the 100 back, 50free, and the 200 and 400-meterindividual medley convincingly —pulling away from the field in thelast quarter of each race.Her 200 and 400 IMs were hotly

contested through the breaststroke,but her strong freestyle legs puther well ahead of the competition.She was also fifth in the 50 and100-meter butterfly.McCallum’s consistent podium

swims ranked her first overall in herage group, earning her the HighPoint award for the meet.John Chiam also found himself at

the top of the podium, securing hisfirst-ever national medal.After finishing fourth in the 100

butterfly, Chiam struggled to regainhis footing.His next best opportunity came

on the last day in the 50 fly. In oneof the tightest fields of the meet,Chiam drove to a commanding

lead at the 20-meter mark and heldto the finish.Jerry Liu got himself on the po-

dium in the 200 IM with a monsterfinishing kick in the freestyle. Liuwas behind four other swimmersafter the breaststroke leg, butbrought it home hard to earn abronze.The third night of the meet was

the most productive for the Rapids.There were five medal swims, as

Wendy Yang, Brian Yu, Eric Tong,and Richard Rakchtis joined Mc-Callum on the podium.Yang swam to a bronze in the 50

freestyle, her first of the meet. Shewent on to win a second bronze inthe 50 butterfly the following night.Yang posted a personal best in

the 50 free, and was just slightlyover her 50 fly time from a fewweeks prior. Her quality was bestshown in her opening 30 meters,where her strength and power wereon full display.Tong and Yu were also on the top

of the podium in the 50 freestyle.In their first national title and

medal swims, the two young menhad commanding races in themiddle of the pool, driving to goldmedals. The two won in consecu-tive age group categories, putting aRapid at the top of the podium twoheats in a row.Yu also swam to sixth place

finishes in both the 100 free and100 breast.His backstroke leg in the boys

4x100 medley relay was instrumen-tal in their podium attack. Afterdropping almost three secondsfrom his personal best, the signifi-cantly younger Rapids team (Yu,Rakchtis, Chiam, and Tong) pushedto fourth overall from the outsidelane, improving on their entry timeby eight seconds.Tong’s 50 freestyle improved his

own national record from Provin-cials by a tenth of a second.His second Canadian record

came in the 100 freestyle two days

later. The record, which eluded himat provincials and in the 100 free-style individual finals, came from hisopening leg in the 4x100 free relay.The swim beat the previous mark,set five years prior, by a tenth.Rakchtis was on the podium

three times in breaststroke events,earning his first-ever national med-als.He won silver in the 100 and a

pair of bronzes in the 50 and 200metre distances.In the 200, Rakchtis was a solid

fifth at the last wall, but in one ofhis best finishes ever, he outsplitmany in the field by 1-2 seconds inthe final 50. Rakchtis posted a besttime by over seven seconds.His 50 and 100 breaststrokes

were best times by a mile as well.Rakchtis had only just broken1:10 at Provincials, but dropped a1:07.62 for his silver.Dini McIver, Serena Xue, Kevin

Ye, Devon Mark, and Tony Zengalso competed for the Rapids at

the meet.Ye was just outside the medals

in the breaststroke events, finish-ing fourth, fifth, and sixth in the50, 100, and 200 respectively. Xueplaced fifth in the 200 breaststrokeas well.The squad also netted 16 indi-

vidual club records.McIver broke an eight-year-old 50

backstroke record. Tong loweredthree of his own freestyle records,and added the 50 breaststroketo the list. Yu was responsible fortwo in the sprint freestyles, whileYe broke two in the sprint breast-strokes.Yang lowered her own record in

the 50 free from Provincials. Mc-Callum broke the remainder, reset-ting six of her own records.The Rapids are taking some well-

deserved time off before startingback up for the 2015-2016 seasonat the beginning of September.Registration for new members

begins Saturdsy at Watermania.

on I thought, well I feel pretty good, a bunch of people wentoff about 14k, I still felt decent so I went with it, to see if Ican hang on. All of a sudden I was in fourth and the guy infront of me got disqualified, I was thinking, I have never beenin this position before… I am completely overwhelmed rightnow, and the national record is a bonus.”

Dunfee credits their group’s success on race walking be-ing part of the British Columbia High School program.

“That has a huge impact on getting kids started younger,and then carrying it through,” he said.The McNair and UBC grad has also been very vocal about

banning repeated drug cheats and arguably played a signifi-cant role in the banning of a large group of Russian walkers.“I was very confident on the start line that the large majorityof the athletes were clean, that’s what we’ve been fightingfor all year.”Gomez is thrilled with what he and his training partners

have accomplished this summer.“Ben’s performance was huge, he came in shape and

ready to go, he just took off. Shows the strength of ourgroup. I’m ecstatic about the group, while the support fromAthletics Canada, Own the Podium and Sport Canada hasbeen great. Watch out in Rio. We have three medal threatsin this event.”Dunfee is also slated to compete in the 50 km race on

Saturday.
