Luxury drivers planned street race in Richmond, government alleges by Tracey Holmes Black Press A B.C. Supreme Court claim seeking forfeiture of five of 13 high-end vehicles seized after a Highway 99 speed race on Aug. 31 has been filed by the provincial government. According to court documents, the Director of Civil Forfeiture filed the claim Sept. 27 in Vancouver, seeking to keep a Nissan GTR, two Lamborghini Gallardos, an Aston Martin DB9 and a Mercedes SLS from being returned to their registered owners. The five, along with eight others, were pulled over in White Rock and Surrey just before 4 p.m. Aug. 31, following multiple complaints of luxury vehicles racing southbound on Highway 99. Police at the time handed all 13 drivers $196-violation tickets, but said they did not have enough evidence to recommend criminal charges. According to the notice of claim, the defendants and others met at Lansdowne Centre and “conspired to engage in street racing” along the highway. Along the way, the claim states, they cut in and out of traffic in an unsafe manner, drove without due care and attention to other motorists, engaged in street racing at speeds up to 200 km/h and pulled over and re-joined highway traffic without proper cause in a manner dangerous to the public. The claim identifies the defendants as Richmond residents Dan Na Zhu (also known as Danna Zhu), Zhang Hong Ma, Ying Chun Wang, Xiao Qiang Zhang and Xiu Bo Wang, along with two minors from Vancouver. Ying Chun Wang is identified as Zhang’s mother and the registered owner of the vehicle Zhang was driving, the Mercedes SLS. One of the minors was driving one of the Lamborghinis; the other minor is the registered owner, the claim states. In arguing for forfeiture, the claim also notes that Ma, Zhang and one of the minors hold novice licenses; Zhu, Xiu Wang and Ma have previous tickets for violations ranging from not having a valid licence to prior involvement with street racing; and the defendants “are likely to use the high-performance vehicles in the future to engage in unlawful acts.” “So long as the high-performance vehicles are possessed or controlled by the defendants, they are likely to be used to engage in the unlawful acts, or similar acts,” the document states. While the court document names a fourth alleged driver as also having previous violations, that individual is not named in the defendant list. Unlike in a criminal case, the civil proceeding does not produce a ruling of guilty or not guilty. The defendants have 21 days from receipt of the notice of claim to file a response.
Matthew Hoekstra photo Keith and Pat Jamieson are bringing a mini Halloween carnival to Lansdowne Centre for another year.
‘Carnies’ to ride off into sunset Operators of longtime carousel and kids’ train prepare to celebrate final seasons by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Clutching ghosts, lights and train tracks, a crew from Brass Ring Ventures set up a Halloween tradition at Lansdowne Centre mall Tuesday. They unpacked three truckloads of materials and assembled a kids’ mini theme park. Brass Ring Ventures,
owned by Keith and Pat Jamieson, have assembled mall rides each year in Richmond since 1993, and recently the pair decided 2011 would be their last hurrah. They’re retiring, and with no one to hand the business down to, this year could be the last time kids can ride on a 1956 carousel and electric train—each decorated with a seasonal theme, four times a year. Halloween-themed rides, $3.50 a pop, will operate until the end of the month. They’ll return later, suitably decorated, for the Christmas season, before they’re gone for good. The Jamiesons have attempted to sell, but no one’s buying. It’s a fickle business—requiring mechanical and
decorating skills, along with storage space and plenty of patience. “One of the things people hate to do in life is moving. And we move all the time,” said Keith, 62. The Jamiesons began their mall carnivals at a time when few others were doing it. The former “carnies,” who previously organized outdoor theme parks, set up their first indoor carousel at Richmond Centre, charging a crazy price—or so their friends said— of $2 and discovered long lines of excited kids. Business has been steady over the years with “thousands and thousands” of children enjoying their first amusement park ride in a mall. See Page 7

Investigators hopeful answers coming soon into pair of deaths Teens Martha Jackson Hernandez and Kayla Lalonde died after party at East Richmond home by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter As Richmond Mounties continue to investigate the March 2, 2010 deaths of two teens who had been partying hours earlier in an East Richmond home, investigators made a public appeal for help. And they announced they’re hopeful that the grieving families will soon get some of the answers they’ve been searching for. Martha Jackson Hernandez, 17, died after being taken to hospital by ambulance from a home at 4240 Smith Cresc. in the Hamilton neighbourhood that was long suspected by neighbours of being a drug house where teens regularly partied. Hours earlier, Hernandez’s friend Kayla Lalonde was found on the sidewalk on the 4000 block of Rumble Street in Burnaby. Toxicology tests determined that the girls died from a lethal combination of alcohol and drugs. Hernandez’s mother Conie was in the courtroom Monday to see Tremblay’s appearance, on the same day that Hernandez would have turned 19. “I have huge confidence that they do have a plan,” Conie said of police. “If he’d have been released (from custody) I would have had no faith
at all.” Knowing that Tremblay is behind bars brings her some comfort, and she’s hopeful the court system will do the right thing. Police, meanwhile, are still investigating. “Since this tragedy has occurred, a team of officers, at times involving up to 60 Richmond RCMP investigators, has been working tirelessly to establish the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Martha and Kayla,” Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said. “This investigation has also involved a number of subjects...one of them being Martin Tremblay, who has recently been charged by the Vancouver Police Department for a number of offences. Last week, Vancouver Police announced Tremblay was at the centre of allegations involving the sexual assault of young female victims. Tremblay is facing seven new charges involving four female victims between the ages of 14 and 19. He’s been charged with sexual assault and administering a noxious substance in connection with an incident allegedly involving a 15-year-old girl from Burnaby in 2005, and the same charges involving an incident in 2007 involving a 14-year-old girl from Vancouver, and a 19-year-old woman in Burnaby. He’s also charged with obtaining sexual services for money from a person under the age of 18 in connection with a 16-year-old girl in Burnaby in 2006. “Without the strength and conviction of the young and vulnerable victims who found the courage to come
Martha Jackson Hernandez died after attending a party in Hamilton.
forward, we would not be standing here telling you about these recent charges,” Vancouver Police Insp. Brad Desmarais said. Turley said Richmond Mounties are hoping the public will step forward to assist. “As this investigation is continuing, we are actively seeking individuals who we believe may have evidence
surrounding the circumstances of Martha and Kayla’s deaths,” Turley said. “We would like to encourage these individuals to please come forward to assist us in providing Martha and Kayla’s families with closure.” Anyone with information about the two deaths is asked to contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Reporter recalls ‘horrible, fearful’ time as serial-killer Clifford Olson dies in prison by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Though it was three decades ago, Richmond’s Bob Ransford still recalls how he was the first reporter on the scene where serial killer Clifford Robert Olson pointed Richmond Mounties to the spot he’d dumped the bodies of two of his teenage victims. Last Friday, Olson, 71, died in a Quebec prison. News of Olson’s death brought Ransford back to his teenage days, when he was working as a reporter for the Richmond News. At the time, he’d been in the habit of regularly carrying around a police scanner which he dutifully monitored day and night. On one August morning in 1981, after hearing odd chatter over his police scanner, he knew something was up. “I could tell something strange was going on,” he said, recalling how the police switched their conversation to a different channel, and then began speaking in code. Ransford had come to know the undercover police officers by the sound of their voice, and followed one after he pulled out of the detachment to a remote scene in East Richmond. Ransford believes Olson, a former Richmond resident who went to school here until Grade 8,
had just been escorted to the site. At the scene, along River Road, past No. 8 Road, and not far from the CN Rail bridge over the Fraser River, a number of other unmarked police cars had gathered. About a 10-minute trek from where Ransford could park his car, along a sawdust pathway, Ransford saw the site where Olson had apparently taken investigators: a ditch between a bog forest and the rail line, where he’d dumped the remains of Surrey’s Simon Partington, 9, and West Germany’s Sigrun Charlotte Elisabeth Arnd. The body of Surrey’s Christine Weller, 12, had been discovered within a mile of that same spot on Christmas Day in 1980. “It was a horribly fearful time then,” Ransford said. In the weeks prior to the discovery of the remains in East Richmond, RCMP had been trying to allay the fears of the public. “It brought back that unsettling feeling of what a horrible time that was.” Olson changed people’s perceptions of how safe their community truly was. He pled guilty to 11 counts of murder, and was handed 11 consecutive life sentences. He reached a deal with police, who agreed to pay $100,000 to his wife after he pled guilty and pointed investigators to the location of the bodies they hadn’t yet found.
The Sept. 2, 1981 edition of The Richmond Review featured a visit to the site where two of Clifford Olson’s victims were recovered.
Home invader gets 66 months for attack on estranged wife A Richmond man who broke into a home where his estranged wife was sleeping, and assaulted her and another man, has been sentenced to five years and six months in prison. Bruce William MacDonald, who was 57 when the home invasion occurred in November of last year, appeared before Richmond provincial court Judge Ron Fratkin, who sentenced him for two counts of aggravated assault, uttering death threats, breaking and entering and failing to comply with a court order. MacDonald pled guilty to the charges in April. MacDonald has been in custody since he was captured following a low-speed chase on the Trans-Canada Highway near Salmon Arm on the morning after the home invasion. Factoring in the time he’s already spent behind bars, he now has four years and eight months remaining in his sentence, according to Crown Counsel Kirstin Murphy. On the morning of Nov. 26, MacDonald broke into a home on the 9300 block of Parksville, and attacked two people who had to be rushed to hospital, suffering non-life-threatening injuries. MacDonald fled the scene after the attacks, but received information that he might be heading toward Salmon Arm. Police managed to reach MacDonald over his cellular phone, and negotiated with him during a low-speed chase that also involved an RCMP helicopter. MacDonald eventually pulled over and was arrested without incident. At the time of his arrest, MacDonald was also facing charges in a domestic violence incident from October 2010. —by Martin van den Hemel
Steves honoured for civic service The Union of B.C. Municipalities has awarded Coun. Harold Steves with a Long Service Award, recognizing his 41 years of civic service in Richmond. This is the second time Steves has won the award. Steves, a Steveston farmer and former school teacher, has served on Richmond council continuously since 1977, and also served on council from 1968 to 1973. From 1973 to 1975, he served one term as an NDP MLA. In 1996, the UBCM also honoured Steves with the award, recognizing his 25 years of service. Steves’ council colleagues all paid tribute to him by attending the Sept. 29 award ceremony at the UBCM’s annual convention, held at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre. Steves has pledged to run for office once again in November, telling The Review it would be his last term. — by Matthew Hoekstra

All You Can Eat!
Staff Reporter The B.C. government will double its trade presence in China and India, according to Premier Christy Clark’s first throne speech. Lieutenant-Governor Steven Point delivered the speech Monday to open a new session of the B.C. legislature. It suggests B.C. is “modest” about success, but stated the province will reach out to help B.C. companies enter Asian markets. “Richmond is unbelievably well positioned,” said Linda Reid, MLA for Richmond East. “Given geography, we’re the closest. We’re going to take absolutely every advantage of that opportunity.” The throne speech also suggests B.C. will be “better equipped” to welcome foreign investors through a new hosting and business development program. Richmond boasts significant Chinese and South Asian populations, with lots of investors in those communities who will want to continue to foster ties with Asia, said Reid. The province’s promise is good for B.C.’s job market, natural resource industries and even providers of some product— such as Richmond Steel Recycling, which supplies steel to China, said Reid. The throne speech also made mention of the province’s investments in Deltaport—the expansion of which will only help facilitate foreign trade, noted Reid. “If we can take our containers to Delta, and load offshore, we’re going in the right direction. Any expansion getting us that product to China and India more quickly is good for the product, good for the buyer, but wonderful for the number of new jobs that will be created.” Premier Clark is planning to lead a provincial trade mission to India and China this fall. New Democratic Party MLA Jenny Kwan said the throne speech was a “re-
a better future. Kwan, the MLA for Vancouver-Mt. Pleasant, was disappointed there was not one mention of agriculture in the speech at a time when interest in local produce is increasing and there are concerns about funding the Agricultural Land Commission.

EDITORIAL: Death of a monster
T
hirty years ago, Lower Mainland residents were gripped with fear. Children and teenagers began disappearing at an alarming rate—in July of 1981 alone, a week would not pass without another disappearance. In all, there were 11 confirmed victims of the monstrous perpetrator, Clifford Robert Olson, who’s death last week of cancer will come as a relief to many. Richmond was the setting for many key moments in Olson’s life. He grew up here, attending school until Grade 8, when his strings of petty crimes kept him behind bars for much of his adult life. On Christmas Day of 1980, the body of the first of his murder victimes, 12-year-old Christine Weller, was discovered in the 19000 block of River Road. He also allegedly sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy in a Richmond hotel room in February 1981. Another murder victim, Judy Kozma, spent part of her final day alive in the company of Olson in Richmond. In August, two more victims, Sigrun Arnd, 18, and Simon Partington, 9, were discovered near Weller’s body. Olson’s horrific murderous spree ended with his arrest in August. But there was more grisly news to come. Olson had worked out a $10,000 per body deal to lead police to victims’ graves. The money, totalling $100,000, went to a trust fund to his wife and infant son. This outraged
the public, especially the victims’ families. Despite spending the rest of his life behind bars, Olson still found ways to torment victims’ families. He would send letters from prison, including some to the families. He would play games with police about information he claimed he had about unsolved murders. And 15 years into his life sentence, Olson made a “faint hope” bid for early parole. While it was a no hope bid, it did force the families to attend the hearing and relive the horror of losing their children. He made another bid for parole in 2006, which was denied, but it is a sad state of affairs when such a monster should have such an option. He was even getting a pension until recently, when the government wised up and yanked it. There was a lot to learn from the Olson case, both then and now. When some of his early victims disappeared, police shrugged them off as runaways. Nowadays, we have the Amber Alert system for suspected abducted children and missing kids are taken much more seriously. Also Olson committed his crimes over a wide area in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, crossing many police jurisdictions. As a result, different pieces of the puzzle were in the hands of different police forces. But sadly, much of the same criticism could be levelled when Robert Pickton went on his killing spree just over a decade ago. Prostitutes were disappearing from

I
t was the type of news any parent would dread hearing. While home having lunch with my kids, I overhead my oldest son telling my wife he’d been the victim of bullying a few days earlier. Under the guise of an “initiation” rite, a small group of Grade 7 boys apparently began to
attack any Grade 6 kid within arms reach. Unfortunately, despite his speed and quickness, my son was caught and punched repeatedly in the groin, while another kid was shoved, and during the subsequent awkward fall broke his arm. A couple of others were were also targetted. Before I share my feelings about the incident, I should commend the principal for her handling of the situation. She assembled all the facts through interviews with the parties directly involved, and developed a suitable strategy for appropriate discipline before calling parents to inform them of what happened. I’ve been assured—and I’d like to believe—that the Grade 7 students didn’t intend to break anybody’s arm or inflict serious injuries. I’ve got three boys, so roughhousing is something my wife and I have grown accustomed to inside our house.
But this handful of kids learned in no uncertain terms that their actions were completely unacceptable. They might not have foreseen the consequences, but that’s not a defence, a lesson made more valuable as they approach their teenage years and life in high school. When I went to high school, I too was a bullying victim. Yes, I was immature, loud and probably annoying, but that didn’t justify one three-hundredpound rich kid eating an engraved Parker pen I’d received the Christmas before. And it didn’t justify the regular punches to the arm, the pushing, shoving and intimidation either. I’ve avoided attending my high school reunions, frankly, because I couldn’t stand the sight of some of these guys, whose images are etched in my mind. But to see my son as a
victim brought me back to those uncomfortable high school days. Yes, we’ve come a long way in advancing society’s position on many issues, including bullying. But in writing this column, I hope to alert parents, students and teachers to the fact that at this particular school—which I won’t name, since I believe the attackers don’t need further discipline—the stance on bullying was made crystal clear. And I reminded my son that this should serve as a lesson to him as well. There will come a time when he’ll likely become like me, and become among the tallest in his class, and tower over other students. Should the temptation arise to deal with an annoying classmate with a push or a shove—rather than talking it out—he’ll only have to remember this incident and how it made him feel: powerless, scared, traumatized and victimized.
We’ve come a long way in advancing society’s position on many issues, including bullying.

letters Bottled water woes at fire hall opening Editor: I just had the pleasure of attending the opening of the new Steveston Fire Hall and was delighted to see that a water station had been set up outside so that attendees could either drink from the water fountain or refill their own bottles. At last, the city has seen sense and decided to let us access our own great water supply and not waste money and precious resources on plastic bottles.
And why, oh why, can we not manage to get through even a 20-minute ceremony without water? Or so I thought. My positive thoughts evaporated immediately when I went inside after the official opening (by city officials, no less!) to see a bottle of water on every seat. All were untouched except for one that looked as if only one mouthful had been consumed—what a waste! Is this not somewhat hypocritical? Isn’t city hall trying to promote the use of tap water and get rid of this wasteful and unnecessary bottled water? And why, oh why, can we not manage to get through even a 20-minute ceremony without water? Could we possibly expire from dehydration in that short time span? I think it’s high time our elected officials at city hall did some serious thinking about all this and their blatant hypocrisy if they want to be re-elected. Carlie Holland Steveston

Why does Hydro blame customers for smart meter errors? Editor: Re: “Smart meter leaves couple dumbfounded,” Sept. 30. I read with dismay yet another article regarding smart meters. Mr. and Mrs. McRae returned home after having lunch to this calamity of errors—what would have happened were they on vacation? I would say that B.C. Hydro cannot issue a blanket letter in the local paper to an area that they will be installing a meter in your area in the next few months—they need to notify you and speak to you directly so that you will be home to rectify their errors. As it would be safe to assume that if you were on vacation and your power did not come back on and you had a freezer with thousands of dollars of food in it that they would still be arrogant enough to say that it was your problem.

School district surplus raises questions Editor: Re: “District eyes $10-million surplus,â€? Sept. 21. Let me get this straight. A $10-million surplus that the district didn’t know was happening. My ďŹ rst question is where did it come from? Did any students have to go without because we were saving money? What about the school secretaries who have to do janitorial duties because there are no janitors until 3 p.m., after the students leave? Did teachers get everything that they need to educate the students? If our district was not aware of a $10-million surplus, who wasn’t doing their job? I cannot understand how there can such a huge surplus when all last school year the taxpayers heard that there was not enough money to keep the district going. I want to hear some answers.

Poster boy for capital punishment Editor: Clifford Olson is dead. Thirty years too late in my opinion. He has been a very costly and unwanted guest of the taxpayer for far too long—many would agree with that statement I think.

Going pesticide-free The City of Richmond’s Enhanced Pesticide Management Program offers a variety of free workshops to help you maintain a healthy, pesticide-free yard.
Here are some suggestions to help keep your lawn green: t Correct soil acidity by applying dolomite lime. Lime is a natural source of calcium and magnesium, which balances the soil’s natural acidity level, helping grass access nutrients that already exist in the soil. It is a natural product that can also help reduce moss growth. Ideally, lime should be spread on your yard before rain so it quickly sinks into the soil. Follow label instructions. t Add organic matter by top dressing with compost. Spread a thin layer of compost over the lawn. Adding compost annually to your lawn adds organic nutrients and beneficial microorganisms in the soil, promoting healthy grass in the long-term.
t Increase density by over seeding. Simply sow extra grass seeds over your established lawn. This helps build a dense, lush lawn by filling in thin or patchy spots, and by crowding out unwanted weeds.
t 2 for 1: Corn gluten meal. Corn gluten meal prevents most weeds from germinating, and works best against dandelion and other crabgrass. It also acts as a natural fertilizer (10-0-0) as nitrogen is released slowly over a three to four month period when the corn gluten meal breaks down. If overseeding this fall, preferably wait until spring before use. Follow label instructions. Under the City’s Pesticide Use Control Bylaw, many pesticides can no longer be used for garden and lawn beautification. Please be certain the products you use are compliant with the Bylaw’s permitted products (Schedule A). For more information on the Bylaw, permitted pesticides, the natural gardening program and free Environmental Sustainability Workshops, visit www.richmond.ca/pesticides.

demonstrating how a beauty shop might as well be a psychiatrist’s office or a church, give this play—which opens Friday at Gateway Theatre—the right love-and-laughter mix. It’s also a play that’s taken on new meaning for Cavendish, 58, since she first directed it at Chemainus Theatre Festival in April. Her husband died three months ago. Lines about love and loss now weigh heavier on Cavendish, a 35-year veteran of the theatre. “I couldn’t be in the embrace of a better play at this time in my life,” she said in an interview. Before her husband’s death, Cavendish selected a line from the play for the show’s program. It brought her to tears when she

arts & entertainment Steel Magnolias opens Friday From Page 13 She describes her grief as a mighty journey thrust upon her, but a journey she’s dedicated to playing out. “It’s a horrendous reality for me. But I know instinctively, I must take what I’m learning on this road of grief and loss, as a widow, and put it into something that I will personally perform,” she said. “I’m not sure what it will be, but I have many, many big images floating around in my brain about what it means to lose somebody for ever.” Cavendish, who’s probably best known for playing Shirley Valentine on stage in a cross-Canada production, began directing for the stage a decade ago. She still considers herself an actor first, but her dream is being a writer for the stage. She intends to soon escape to her “writing hut”—a Vancouver Island cabin built by her husband—where she’ll hammer out a pair of very different first drafts. One, called Him and Her and Dogface, looks at marriage, seen through the eyes of the family dog and his pals. The other will be born out of grief. Steel Magnolias tackles the subject of grief head on. The 1989 film’s catchline was: “The funniest movie that will ever make you cry.” Unlike the movie, the play is set exclusively in a beauty parlour, where an allfemale cast of characters laugh, cry and talk men. But the same catchline could be used. “It’s very very true. It deals with grief in the most exquisite manner because of the story in the play, and it deals with a culture born out of Louisiana that can crack the best jokes, all truthfully based,” said Cavendish. The play is set in Truvy’s Louisiana beauty parlour—the place for the best hairdos and gossip—and centres on the women who regularly gather there. The story begins on the wedding day of Shelby, a young woman with Type 1 diabetes who enters the parlour with her mother to have their hair styled for the big day. A few years of events follow, keying on Shelby’s medical battles that become heightened by her decision to have a child. The set stays the same throughout. Cavendish said watching the same beauty parlour is like watching cooking shows,
Nicola Cavendish directs Steel Magnolias, which opens at Gateway Theatre this week.
with engaging activity and actors who actually get their hair washed, set and blow-dried on stage. This beauty parlour is the real deal. “I wasn’t interested in pretending any of those actions.” Robert Harling wrote the play—his first—in response to losing his sister to diabetes. It premiered in an offBroadway run in 1987. Two years later, he wrote the screenplay to for the Steel Magnolias film.

Books to help you eat well, feel great
Book Club Shelley Civkin We all want to feel healthy, yet be able to eat great food at the same time, right? I’m sure there are people who think that these two concepts are mutually exclusive, but I’m here to tell you they’re not. In my own quest for healthier eating I came across a book about the glycemic index specifically for menopausal women, called The G.I. Diet Menopause Clinic by Rick Gallop, and it’s Canadian, no less! According to this book, menopause is the major hormonal trigger causing women to gain weight. (Well, that explains a lot right there.) Many of the changes that menopause and post-menopause bring
are tied in with health, energy level and increased weight gain. Applying the concepts from the glycemic index diet to the special needs of hormonally challenged women, author Gallop teaches women how to eat properly and lose weight, plus he offers lots of recipes to keep the
weight off. The G.I. Diet: The GreenLight Way to Permanent Weight Loss, also by Rick Gallop, uses the red, yellow and green light system, which gives examples of foods to be avoided, foods to be considered with caution, and low glycemic index foods, or ones that are good for
you, based on a number of factors. He takes the reader through the whole gamut, from how to cook food properly, to how to change your eating habits, to how to accommodate going to a restaurant, to exercise and general health. There’s a lot more to this diet than what I’ve described so
anyone who’s serious about weight loss and improving their health should check it out. And finally, a book called The Glycemic Load Diet Cookbook by Rob Thompson and Dana Carpender is full of easy recipes to keep you healthy. The concept of “glycemic load” differs

Don Fennell photo The defending Pacific International Junior Hockey League champion Richmond Sockeyes apparently haven’t missed a beat. In fact, they seem even stronger after winning their first four games of the 2011-12 season by a combined 31 goals to none. Set to host North Delta Devils (2-1) Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Minoru Arenas, the Sockeyes’ boast the league’s top goalie (rookie Jonah Imoo, above, has three shutouts) and leading scorer (rookie Justin Rai has 12 points in four games).
Racewalk champion Dunfee eyes Olympics by Don Fennell Sports Editor A degree in human kinetics will have to wait. For at least a year. Instead, Richmond’s Evan Dunfee will be focusing all his energy on trying to earn a spot in the men’s race walk at the next Summer Olympic Games July 27 to Aug. 12, 2012 in London, England. Canada’s race walking champion, Dunfee, 21, made the decision after a pair of impressive results in Europe this summer. Four days before his 21st birthday on Sept. 28, he set a new personal best over 20 kilometres at a race in Naumburg, Germany. The time of one hour, 23.43 minutes was nearly two full minutes better than his previous best which he established in winning the Canadian national title in Calgary last June. “It’ll be nice not having to worry about other things,” Dunfee said. “All I have to do is focus on training. I think I under-appreciated that concept until now but I can definitely see the advantages.” Dunfee, who also competed at the World Student Games in China and in the United Kingdom Track and Field Championship after winning the national title, plans to train with the Australian national team for three months and then return to China for a meet before briefly returning home to prepare for the World Cup in mid-April in Russia. He hopes by then to achieve the Olympic A standard of 1:22.30 of which he’s just over a second shy. “This was the first time I’ve competed with

And with some 185 teams combined, including two from the Yukon Territories, it means just about every green space on Lulu Island will be occupied, says Richmond Youth Soccer chair Cheryl Dunham. “It’s great spirit building,” says Dunham of what is annually one of the largest soccer events in the province. “And in the last

couple of years we’ve really strived (as Richmond boys’ and girls’ soccer) to meld the tournaments together, even playing many of our games side-by-side on the same field.” The success of the Thanksgiving tournaments has prompted many other associations to kick off their own events. But while that’s flattering to the local hosts, the Richmond tournaments remain the most popular. The amount of work that goes into planning the tournaments is significant, so much so that Dunham says they wouldn’t happen without the support and dedication of countless volunteers. She noted the schedule wasn’t finalized until 3:02 a.m. Tuesday. “I think everyone gets pretty excited, including the local teams,” she says. “There’s always a big buildup to the weekend, which kicks off Friday with a coaches’ appreciation night and game at 8:30 p.m. at Minoru Park. “This is the weekend where the teams also tend to solidify themselves,” says Dunham. “If you can
come out with a good showing it’s even better, and it sets the mood the season.” Last year, Richmond under-18 Gold Division boys’ team won what may have been the best match of the tournament in a dramatic shootout. “I’m glad we can still (put this tournament on),” says Richmond Girls’ Soccer president Aiman El-Ramly. “It continues to attract players from across the province and outside it, and we continue to get positive feedback. We’re bent on making everybody happy again this year.” •All U11 and U12 games will feature two 25-minute halves; U13 to U15 teams two 30-minute halves, and U16 to U18 teams two 35-minute halves. Only final games tied after regulation will be decided on penalty shots. •U11 is non-competitive with no scores kept. Ribbons are awarded to all players. •U12 is a modified competitive, which means all teams will play four games regardless of their standing after three games.

Seafair Islanders set to host hockey icebreaker tournament Parents and siblings may have to compete for their seats at the Richmond Ice Centre this weekend, as more than a few scouts are expected to be on hand for the ďŹ rst major tournament of the hockey season. Seafair Minor Hockey is host-
Bantam Draft,� says Seafair executive director Ken Hamaguchi. “But there’s a lot of talent in the other divisions as well.� While there are two fewer teams in the Peewee divisions this year, the overall number of entries in the tournament is up by two with the addition of an eight-team Midget A2 Division. But it’s the Midget A1 Division
that is expected to draw the most interest as both Seafair and Richmond (which played for a provincial championship last season) are competing along with teams from the North Shore Winter Club, Vernon, Juan de Fuca, Coquitlam, Portland and Anchorage minor hockey associations. All told, about 1,000 players are expected to partici-

pate in the tournament. Hamaguchi says one of the reasons for its popularity is that it is held early, when many teams are still being formed. “A lot of coaches like to bring their teams to see what kind of a club they have going into their season,� says Hamaguchi. “Also, they like the opportunity to face some good competition

Letting the imagination run wild artfully
I
maginations ran wild at the Community Arts Council of Richmond’s Culture Days celebration at Lansdowne Centre Mall last weekend. Close to 1,000 people came Ashley and Vanessa Orr. out and created their own artwork, whether it was Around Town with clay, dough or Amanda Oye colouring materials. “We wanted to have more than one thing happening at a time,” said Margaret Stephens, the treasure and primary administrator for the Community Arts Council of Richmond. They had a row of tables set up in the mall with different activities for both children and adults. “We wanted to have things for the children because they’re our future,” Stephens said. “Without emerging artists there won’t be professional artists,” she said. David Liu taught children how to make playdough animals with Popular activities included makhomemade dough. ing animals out of homemade playdough, playing with clay, and colouring with crayons. The Community Arts Council of Richmond wanted diversity throughout the day, so it also had a violinist and a quartet come out and play. “I think (Culture Days) is a really good idea,” Stephens said. “I’m sure it will grow in time,” she said. Culture Days is all about engaging the public in art. People need to be educated on “the importance of art in everyday life,” Stephens said. “Art can make such a difference in peoples lives.”
