Five grow-ops found by city inspectors this year City’s electrical inspection team on pace for its lowest number of investigations since program’s launch

T-shirts milk cross-border shopping furor Richmond design firm answers ‘Milk Piranha’ label with cheeky clothing

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A Richmond-based design studio is adding froth to the boiling resentment by some Bellingham residents upset over an invasion of cross-border shoppers from Canada.

Creative Apparatus has de-

signed “Milk Piranha” T-shirts in response to an anti-Canadian-shopper Facebook page where the term was used to describe Canadians scooping up milk from an American Costco store.

“We thought it would be funny to do something red and white, something that

Canadians could buy and wear going down. It’s just something to unite all Canadians,” said Dan MacClure, a Richmond Secondary grad, who designed the tonguein-cheek shirts with his business partner and cousin Jay McMahon.

City officials have uncovered five drug houses in the first six months of this year, continuing the downward trend of illegal marijuana grow-ops coming to the city’s attention.

The city’s electrical and fire safety inspection team probed four houses and two commercial properties from January through June this year, finding grow-ops in nearly all of them, according to data obtained by The Richmond Review.

Last year, the team inspected 14 houses and four commercial properties, resulting in the discovery of 12 growops.

But the numbers pale in comparison to the first year of the program. In 2007, in-

City electrical inspections •2007: 101 inspections; 58 grow-ops •2008: 52 inspections; 6 grow-ops* •2009: 20 inspections; 11 grow-ops* •2010: 36 inspections; 24 grow-ops •2011: 28 inspections; 12 grow-ops •2012: 6 inspections; 5 grow-ops *program operated for only part of year spectors were dispatched to 101 properties, finding growops in 58. The drop, officials have suggested, is likely due to grow-ops locating elsewhere or finding alternative sources of power—including stealing it—to stay undetected.

Each year, the city’s electrical and fire safety inspection team searches homes with higher-than-average electricity use—more than 93 kilowatts per day—based on data provided by B.C. Hydro, along with following up on tips and RCMP investigations.

The team focuses on safety, not putting growers behind bars.

The Richmond RCMP, however, does do criminal investigations into grow-ops— busting 10 so far this year, and 20 in 2011, according to the force.

New noise bylaw brings little clarity Frustrated Riverwind resident continues battle against noisy neighbour

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter How does a failed test in March become one that passes in July.

That’s a question that frustrated Riverwind townhouse resident Lisa Robinson is still trying to figure out, after she was told by city officials that True World Foods has been found to be in compliance with the city’s newer, stricter, noise bylaw.

Before the updated bylaw was passed earlier this year, residents in at least a couple of neighbourhoods in Richmond were given a preview of how the testing would work, with a realworld demonstration.

That was in March, and Robinson said that True World Foods failed by registering more than the 50 decibel noise level limit.

But because the bylaw hadn’t yet been in place, Robinson and her neighbours were told that the LISA official testing would have to be ROBINSON conducted following the bylaw’s implementation.

The official test was performed in July, and this time, True World Foods registered at precisely the 50 decibel limit.

Robinson was in shock, and said she’s now seeking an explanation for the discrepancy between the two tests.

She said that the rooftop compressors at True World Foods, which keep its frozen seafood at the right temperature, operates in at least a couple of modes, including a higher mode that results in more noise.

She’s now wondering if inspectors from the city and the private sound consultant took the necessary steps to ensure those compressors were in their loudest gear.

She said that city officials were quite adamant that the townhouse’s fountain would need to “We don’t want to be switched off during put True World out testing, but she’s wondering whether the same of business.” scrutiny was given to the - Evelina Halsey- sources of the noise: five rooftop comBrandt those pressors.

It was three years ago, when True World Foods first installed those rooftop compressors to run their freezers, that Robinson’s family’s lives were turned upside down.

The round-the-clock noise reverberated through the home, and during the warm summer months, when the windows were left open, the noise was impossible to sleep through, especially at night.

She’s been battling with the city ever since, and said True World Foods is as much the victim here, considering it’s been trying to placate neighbours while running a business.

Richmond Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt said she’s got questions of her own, and wonders whether steps were taken to ensure that the source of the noise, those rooftop compressors, were humming at their peak levels when testing occurred.

But she applauded both the owners of True World Foods and the city for going above and beyond in addressing the concerns of Riverwind residents.

“We don’t want to put True World out of business,” she said.

Martin van den Hemel photo Three people were taken to hospital from this home on Carncross Avenue early Sunday morning following a violent home invasion.

Home invasion sends man and parents to hospital Trio injured, including 31-yearold who was known to police, and was shot several times

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Three people are in hospital, and expected to recover following an early Sunday morning home invasion on Carncross Avenue that resulted in a shooting.

The incident occurred shortly after mid-

night, when a neighbour said he heard screams for help, and then a loud ruckus towards the back of the home or possibly in the back yard at 12728 Carncross Ave. Although there were reports of three people taken to hospital in critical condition, police remained tight-lipped on Sunday.

But on Monday morning, the Mounties revealed they received a call around 1 a.m. of shots fired in the house.

When police arrived, they found three victims inside the home, including a 31-yearold man who was shot several times. He was known to police.

His parents, who are in their 60s, had also been assaulted.

All three victims were taken to Vancouver General Hospital and are expected to recover, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

According to a neighbour, the home is occupied by two parents and their two children, both in their 30s.

They are tenants in the home, the neighbour said.

Shortly after midnight on Sunday morning, a neighbour heard what sounded like shouts for help, but couldn’t pinpoint where the noise was coming from.

That was followed by a loud ruckus, including footsteps and a skirmish, but the witness wondered whether it was simply a television playing too loudly.

There was also the sound of footsteps as someone fled the scene.

Crackdown coming on distracted drivers Cellphone talking or texting third top crash cause after speeding, drinking

by Jeff Nagel Black Press ICBC and police are revving up their campaign against distracted driving, saying it’s now the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. Enforcement is being stepped up for the Labour Day weekend and officers will be checking for distracted drivers throughout September.

The crackdown came as a new Ipsos Reid poll was released showing 40 per cent of cellphone owners admit they’ve recently used their hand-held phone while driving despite overwhelming acceptance distracted driving is risky, especially texting.

“The ability to connect with anyone at any time through our mobile phones has led to a serious problem on our roads,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said.

Police say many drivers try to hide their mobile devices from view by using them from their laps but officers will use a variety of tactics to bust them and hand out $167 fines.

The poll shows cellphone use behind the wheel in the past six months is much higher among younger B.C. drivers – 52 per cent of 18- to 25-year-olds, 48 per cent of 26- to 50-year-olds, 29 per cent

of 51- to 65-year-olds and 17 per cent of seniors.

A quarter of all fatal crashes in B.C. are linked to distracted driving – about 94 deaths per year – making it the third top cause after speeding and impaired driving.

ICBC also cited U.S. findings that drivers who talk on hand-held cellphones are four times more likely to crash, and 23 times more likely to crash if texting.

Free downloadable ringtones designed to encourage drivers to resist the urge to answer the phone are being offered

by ICBC. The tunes, which are available at icbc. com/drivesmart) span various genres and include “Road of No Replies,” “Missed Call Master” and “Let it Ring, Baby.”

Intended as a gag, Milk Piranha t-shirts are catching like wildfire From Page 1 The duo created the red-and-white T-shirts, complete with a prominent milk jug, within days of hearing about the Bellingham backlash. Much to their surprise, the first batch of shirts quickly sold out online.

“It was sort of like a gag—that we were going to sell online to our friends and in Facebook groups—and then it just seemed to catch like wildfire,” said MacClure, whose company specializes in graphic design for action sports.

Earlier this month, a page appeared on Facebook titled, “Bellingham Costco needs a special time just for Americans.”

The page generated over 2,000 likes and plenty of comments expressing frustration with Canadian crowds south of the border. The page has since been shut down.

Despite those seemingly anti-Canadian sentiments, many of the T-

Smell from Harvest Power sparks dozens of complaints

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Harvest Power is making quite the impression with neighbours, but not likely in the way the environmentallyfriendly firm formerly known as Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre had intended.

Dozens of complaints this year about foul smells emanating from the firm have been handled by Metro Vancouver, which has confirmed that 27 are the result of the company’s operation in East Richmond.

Harvest Power takes yard and food waste from the city and composts it, turning it into energy.

“We have noted odours coming from that facility impacting various parts in the region,” said Ray Robb, Metro Vancouver’s manager of environmental regulation and enforcement.

Robb said 54 complaints have come in this year from all over the Lower Mainland, including White Rock, Vancouver, Burnaby, Delta and Richmond.

Using primarily wind direction from meteorological recordings, investigators from Metro Vancouver were

able to trace the source of the nuisance smell in 27 cases to Harvest’s facility in East Richmond, Robb said.

In addition to the 54 complaints, many others who have contacted Metro Vancouver may have cast the blame on other businesses, but the real culprit may have been odours from Harvest Power, Robb noted. He said once investigators check to see if the initially suspected firm is responsible, but has been found innocent, there simply aren’t enough resources to find the true culprit, meaning the offender is

never pinpointed.

Aside from running afoul with neighbours, Harvest Power’s activities could cost them in the pocketbook in the future.

Metro Vancouver is proposing that industries pay fees based on the severity of the odours they emit.

The polluter-pay fees are

based on a cost-recovery model, to offset the hundreds of thousands of dollars each year expended in staff time responding to industrial odour complaints.

“What we’re saying is you can emit the odour but we’re going to charge you based on what im-

pact that odour has,” Robb told Black Press earlier this year.

Metro Vancouver is proposing legislation that will require industry to measure the amount of odour it emits, and how much the emissions must be diluted in the air so that people won’t smell it.

If the emissions impact a large area with a lot of people in it, the proposed legislation would force the company to pay more in comparison to another firm doing the same thing, but in a less populated area.

Harvest Power declined to comment.

Violinist Donna Grescoe mourned Child prodigy once played on The Ed Sullivan Show

by Jamie Peng Contributor

A promotional brochure for Donna Grescoe.

Donna Grescoe, a child prodigy turned star violinist who called Richmond home for the last 23 years, died Aug. 17 at the age of 84.

Born in 1927, Grescoe first picked up the violin at the age of five. She was hailed as a musical prodigy by the time she was 10 and was sent to Chicago to study at the American Conservatory of Music on scholarship.

She received rave reviews

for her debuts at the New York Town Hall and Carnegie Hall.

Miles Kastendieck from the New York Journal praised her “exceptional poise, tone, and style” at her Carnegie recital in 1947, and said she held “that enviable promise of fine things to come.”

Grescoe would prove Kastendieck’s omen time and again in numerous performances at concert halls in New York and Toronto, including one appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.

“She was a very loving person,” says her sister Lorraine Grescoe, a local violin teacher who for years lived right next door to her big sister.

“She was a mentor to many people. She was my goddess.”

Lorraine saw Donna almost as a celebrity rather than a big sister.

“She was famous, and she was always away, performing in New York. But even away from home she would write little special letters to me or Ellen (sister Eleanor Webb).”

Grescoe became an inspiration to many, including author Lyn Cook, who published a children’s book about her life in 1951 called The Little Magic Fiddler.

After her successful performances as a soloist, Donna spent the latter half of her career teaching music in her hometown of Winnipeg, at the Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Arts, of which she was a founding member.

“When she went into teaching,” says Lorraine, “she asked me for a lot of suggestions on how to get started, and I had great joy in telling her what to do for a change.”

Having played with the Win-

“She was a mentor to many people.”

- Lorraine Grescoe nipeg Symphony and the CBC Orchestra, Lorraine is now a private violin teacher.

When Donna retired and settled down in Richmond 23 years ago, Lorraine also became her next door neighbour.

This brought the two sisters closer than ever.

But their world turned upside down earlier this year, when Donna was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

Lorraine is the founder of The Fraser River Fiddlers, a group of her young students who specialize in playing fiddle music. They have performed at Richmond events includ-

ing the Tall Ships Gala and the Maritime Festival.

Upon hearing the news of Donna’s illness, they played for her at the Rotary Salvation Army Hospice.

“She told them that they were all talented, but they were talented without any practice,” laughs Lorraine.

“So she tells them ‘You keep on working hard!’ Those words have resonated.”

Lorraine says that Donna’s legacy is a lasting one.

“She has touched so many people’s lives, not just through her music, but because she was a kind and generous woman. She has also created 14 compositions that were commissioned, so her music will live on.”

Besides Lorraine, Donna is survived by a son, Eric Gullichsen, and siblings Eleanor Webb and Paul Grescoe.

EDITORIAL: There’s a price to pay for cross-border shopping C anadian consumers are heading south for an overnight stay and shopping to take advantage of new cross-border allowances and the high dollar.

Cross-border trips in June, the first month the higher exemptions took effect, were up to levels not

seen since 1972. Way back then, the dollar was also above par, and gas prices were also low. Taking a trip to the U.S. was a breeze.

It seems many are willing to spend the time in border line-ups and pay for the extra gas to save about 14 per cent on many items.

They also want to have access to a wider variety in clothing and other consumables.

The downside is that local retailers are taking a hit, and when they do, they cut back on new hires and those much-hated taxes (which pay for health, education and other important programs) take a hit, as well.

Retailers in border communities are particularly hard-hit.

Canadians are understandably looking for

bargains. But there may come a time when the lure of cheaper U.S. products will come back and haunt them.

A long-term decline in retail jobs and declining tax revenue can do some major damage to the B.C. economy.

Tax shortfalls must be made up somewhere, so that means everyone (including cross-border

shoppers) will pay more.

With fewer jobs, it will be that much harder to pay those added taxes.

More likely though, as the U.S. economy rebounds as housing sales are cautiously expected to do, the loonie will eventually drop in value. This will greatly diminish the advantage of shopping down south.

Studying projects to death

N

DP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat.

The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death.

Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused.

The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational

sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years.

The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more complaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and direct-action protests.

Professional environmentalists are now wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means, for example, that there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River.

One reader suggested that environmental pioneer

Roderick Haig-Brown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact?

NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes.

Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden

has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities. This is why it’s so long and expensive.

And don’t be fooled into believing that a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated.

There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three. Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major projects such as mines and energy

generation from local government control, citing the “provincial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders.

I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general.

Forest management needs more money too.

All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

Don’t wait for a law, take shark fin off the menu now Editor: A law is only one aspect of the larger ethical/moral equation.

David Chung should understand that even if a law curtailing some activity or practice does not yet exist there are situations when one’s ethics and morals should guide a person to be motivated by something other than habit and/or the promise of monetary gain.

If the major portion of the society he lives and works in finds a practice unacceptable he should demonstrate that he respects the values and sensibilities that have built the society that has given him and the rest of us the honour of citizenship.

Good produce is heading south of the border Editor: Re: “Chasing the American ‘cheap food’ dream,” Richmond Review, Aug. 24.

If you want Grade-A local produce you won’t find it here.

In the Fraser Valley and Okanagan, farmers have contracted all their good produce to American corporations. When you buy a “product of California” in B.C., chances are that it was “grown in B.C.,” at least for apples, if not others. I’d like to shop in the United States to get the better B.C. fruit but Translink buses don’t go there.

George Pope Richmond Editor’s note: Visit some of Richmond’s local farms. You won’t find better produce anywhere.

Sockeye fishery ruled out due to weak Fraser run

Black Press Fishery managers say the Fraser River sockeye run isn’t strong enough this year to allow any commercial fishing or recreational angling.

Latest estimates peg this summer’s return of salmon at about 2.3 million, slightly better than the pre-season estimate of 2.1 million.

“At these levels we’re not anticipating commercial or recreational fisheries,” said Barry Rosenberger, DFO’s Interior area director and co-chair of the Pacific Salmon Commission’s Fraser River panel.

This year’s run is down from five million last year and way down from the huge 2010 run of 30 million sockeye, believed to be a rare anomaly.

A low 2012 return wasn’t unexpected, because sockeye run on a four-year cycle and the previous generation that spawned in 2008 was very weak.

The commercial and recreational sectors knew fishing was unlikely, Rosenberger added.

First Nations, who get fishing priority for food, social and ceremony purposes, have caught 400,000 Fraser sockeye so far.

Rosenberger said he doesn’t consider this year’s run a bad outcome because four adult sockeye are returning for every one that spawned in 2008.

That’s much better productivity than in 2008, he said, when less than one adult came back for each spawner from the previous generation.

“If that rate of return continues we’ll be in much better position four years from now,” he said. “Our primary goal this year was to increase our spawning ground counts and we think we’re making progress.”

The river temperature of 19.4 degrees is almost two degrees higher than average for this time of year, which poses some concern for sockeye migrating inland, but Rosenberger said he expects the water to cool now that the mid-August heat wave has passed.

Sto:lo fisheries advisor Ernie Crey said the aboriginal catch shared by the 94 bands that depend on Fraser sockeye is far below the one million fish they take in a good year. “There’s going to be a lot of hardship this year,” he said. “There won’t be a lot of fish put away for the winter months.”

Next year will likely be worse, Crey added, because the 2013 run will be the weak progeny of the disastrous 2009 return that prompted Ottawa to appoint the Cohen Inquiry into the decline of Fraser sockeye.

Wishes inspired by the contents of a pencil case Fro Page 12 As I gather things together for the upcoming academic year, I send back to school blessings for my children, wishes inspired by the contents of a pencil case.

•Pencil Crayons – May your year be full of colour and creativity from brightening up a geography map to sketching a still life. I wish that the brightest colours of the pack be used first—reds and purples and your favourite colour—for they will show me that you’ve used passion in your daily life.

•Erasers – You will make mistakes during the year. Believe it or not, this is one of the best ways of learning, by figuring out how not to do something. While your eraser may be pink as a baby pig right now, I wish for it to be stubby and grey by the end of the year. It will show me that you’ve learned something and that you’ve realized in part that you won’t have all the answers all the time in life and that’s OK. •Binders – You will be flooded with information this year. Use your binder to organize all this content just as you will eventually file some of it into your brain for your after school life. May you be able to search and find the things you need in life but remember I’m always there to help you sort it all out.

•Pencil sharpener – Sometimes you will have dull days, days when everything seems blunt and fuzzy and blah. I wish you sharpness and a way of renewing yourself on tough days -- maybe it’s a run along the dyke, a laugh with a friend, or a game of Sudoko. Find the things that make you sharp again and don’t be afraid to use them.

•Geometry set – Know you are not alone in the world. You are always only a few degrees away from those who love you. As poet John Donne mentions, may you and I be like a compass, two legs but forever connected

through family and love. I will always guide you wherever you may be.

Finally, I wish for you to collect the best of this upcoming year in a solid pencil case. There are so many experiences in life that will form the adult you will eventually become. Take all that you gain this year

– the good and the bad – and learn from them all. Collect the very best of knowledge and happiness and tuck them inside your heart like pencils in a case. Ultimately, these are the things that make you the delightful person that you are.

Happy Back to School.

You will make mistakes during the year. Believe it or not, this is one of the best ways of learning.

When Nick Cheng began his 19year love affair with taekwondo, he was drawn in by the inspirational teaching, safe, fun and supportive environment, and the daily challenges that were fired his way by his master instructor, Grandmaster Kee Ha in BC. Now as the head instructor of Kees Taekwondo’s newest facility at 1115560 Minoru Blvd. in addition to the Vancouver location, he’s hoping

to provide the same inspiration to locals.

Offering a fast-paced, dynamic, and structured martial arts environment, taekwondo doesn’t discriminate based on age and size.

“You don’t have to be a certain size or strength, you just need the right attittude” Cheng said. “It’s practical in terms of self defence and you don’t have to be a large person...you can be an adult or a kid.”

labour of love for Cheng and said he hasn’t found another school or program that quite offers what Kees does.

“I had a wonderful master, his teaching was inspiring, the structure was good, and the environment was fun and safe.”

Grandmaster Kee S. Ha established the first Kee’s Taekwondo school in Regina, Sask. in 1973 and his brother, similar in name, Grandmaster Kee Ha established the second Kee’s Taekwondo school in Vancouver, BC in 1983.

The tradition of joining the physical and mental aspects of training is the foundation of Kees.

Today, Kees offers classes throughout western Canada, from Saskatchewan to Alberta, and B.C., as well as one location in Old Crow, Yukon.

What sets taekwondo apart from other martial arts is that it specializes in kicking, Cheng explained.

Cheng said the first class at Kees Taekwondo is free, and after that, parents and students are offered a training program that works out to about $125 per month for children eight and older.

He recalls when he was a teenager, joining friends for a free class of taekwondo.

“I had a wonderful master, his teaching was inspiring, the structure was good, and the environment was fun and safe.”

G&F Financial Group Expands in West Richmond

any still recognize G&F Financial Group as Gulf and Fraser Credit Union, the cooperative created to serve the thriving fishing industry in Steveston and throughout the Lower Mainland more than 70 years ago.

G&F Financial Group continues to expand and evolve while staying true to its roots, much like the City of Richmond.

“At G&F our members are also our owners and every business decision we make is meant to benefit them,” says Co-CEO Jeff Shewfelt. “Still today we are true to credit union principles because we have seen how they can transform members’ lives.

We’re building a strong credit union that’s always there to offer support and guidance through every stage of each member’s

M

life.”

Grand Opening September 8th Saturday, September 8th marks the official grand opening of G&F`s newest branch, located at No. 1 Rd and Francis – and the Co-CEOs extend an open invitation to everyone in Richmond to participate in the celebration. A community party will begin at 10am with a ribbon cutting ceremony featuring taiko drumming and a lion dance, and continuing with lots of free food, fun for the whole family and lots of prizes. A community stage will host performances starting at 1pm, with the Vancouver Giants and JackFM onsite to add to the festivities.

In addition to new state-of-theart premises, the 2,500 square foot branch welcomes the community

with a multi-purpose place to congregate, intimate spaces to get practical advice, and is staffed

by G&F professionals who are trusted experts active in the very neighbourhoods they serve. “`This new branch is a powerful symbol of our commitment to our members and

A locally based credit union, G&F offers personal and commercial banking, mortgages, insurance and advice.

Don’t Yawn: Chambers of Commerce Are Really Quite a Kick They Helped Send Lindbergh to the Skies and Capone to the Slammer ome people think of the chamber of commerce as the place where businessmen bicker over things like how to add downtown parking spaces. But Chris Mead, who has been writing a book about the chambers for five years, wants to correct that impression.

It was the chamber in Atlantic City, N.J., he says, that created the Miss America pageant, while the St. Louis chamber helped pay for Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. That’s why his famous plane was called the Spirit of St. Louis.

Then, too, the downfall of gangster Al Capone was engineered by the Chicago Association of Commerce, which collected financial information leading to his arrest. Elliot Tiber, president of the White Lake-Bethel, N.Y., Chamber of Commerce, had the permit for the Woodstock Music & Art Fair,

S

the 1969 music festival.

“They needed a permit, and I had a permit,” says Mr. Tiber, who recalls his chamber had four members including himself, and the right to have a festival.

Mr. Mead assumes most people think chambers are boring. “Except they’re not,” he says.

Chambers of commerce also had a hand in the downfall of Al Capone.

While many history books are centered on powerful presidents and painful episodes like war and slavery, little has been said about the moderately powerful local folk who did much of the heavy lifting on main street.

“It turns out these totally anonymous people [at chambers] were actually big drivers in how this country has grown,” Mead said.

Merchant groups go back millennia and were formalized in Europe.

Colonists brought the idea

COURTESY OF THE EVERETT COLLECTION

The famous flight by Charles Lindbergh may have never taken place with out the help of the St. Louis Chamber.

to the Americas, but, unlike their European forebears, most American chambers had no formal ties to the government.

Speaking recently in his office, which has a U.S. map with 198 red dots on it

marking every chamber he has visited, Mr. Mead rattled off some of his quirkier findings.

In 1936, the president of the Michigan state chamber also became head of the International Nudists

Conference. The next year, a Missouri chamber executive handcuffed himself to a woman’s radiator and threatened to stay there playing solitaire with his free hand until she said yes or no to his marriage proposal. She said yes.

“I love it when these characters emerge,” he says.

The inspiration for Mr. Mead’s largely upbeat adventure came several years ago when he was reading an Al Capone biography that detailed the Chicago chamber’s role in putting the gangster away. He wondered why he had never heard the story despite working for a national association of chambers, and after collecting other bits of trivia he decided to create a list of five stories to be distributed to members—”just to show our members that chambers have done something interesting,” he says.

He expanded the effort

to include notable people who had served on chamber boards (John D. Rockefeller was one), and to more than 100 pages. Mr. Mead kept going and today has a tentative title for what he has written: “The Magicians of Main Street.” He hopes to see it published. “If 500 of the right people read it, maybe I’ll think it’s worth it,” he says. “I could have a minor career in speaking at chamber anniversary dinners.”

A version of this article appeared August 17, 2012, on page A1 in the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: Don’t Yawn: Chambers of Commerce Are Really Quite a Kick.

WANT TO RACE? JOIN THE TEAM!

Shields stands tall After enjoying a strong season at the Midget level, Mariner hones skills at international U21 competition

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Spending some time calling balls and strikes from back of the plate certainly hasn’t hurt Ryan Shields’ hand-eye co-ordination.

In fact, the Richmond Boys’ Fastball Association’s 2012 umpire of the year has probably become a much better hitter because of it — as his outstanding .589 batting average at the recent Western Canadian Midget A championship attests.

Shields, 16, also attributes his improved confidence at the plate to simple repetition.

“I never really had good handeye co-ordination before, but I used being cut by Team BC last year as motivation to get better,” he said. “Before this season I practiced a lot with my dad (Marshall is also head coach of the Richmond Midget A Mariners) and hit almost 300 balls a day. That got me off to a good start.

“It also really helped playing on my dad’s men’s team which helped me to see better pitching and better movement on the ball.”

Shields never really let up, consistently performing at a level at or beyond most of his peers which helped the Mariners win the provincial title in Clearwater.

That victory qualified the Mariners to represent B.C. at the westerns in Winnipeg, where the team finished third losing a close game to

Ryan Shields, 16, is just back from the International Softball Congress in Midland, Mich. where he played with and against players five years his senior.

Saskatchewan in a first-versusthird-place showdown. The Mariners were 5-1 after round-robin play.

Continuing to demonstrate his new-found confidence at the plate, Shields drew 13 walks in 21 at-bats. He also showed well in the outfield, snagging the majority of balls hit his way in centrefield— a position he only took up two seasons ago after previously playing second base.

“I like playing in the outfield, even though a lot of people think

it’s boring,” he said. “But it’s also good to be tall, which helps me get to those balls.”

Shields’ strong season was noted by opposing teams, including the Fleetwood Marlins, which invited him to join them at their B.C. championship team at the junior nationals in Owen Sound. He had to pass up the opportunity, however, to participate in the Western Canadian Midget Division finals being held at the same time in Winnipeg.

Shields concluded the 2012 fastball season by competing in the under-21 International Softball Congress last week in Midland, Mich., which is located about two hours south of Detroit. Playing for Team BC at the tournament, he was the youngest player at the event and five years younger than any of his teammates. B.C. placed sixth overall with Argentina’s under-21 national team taking top honours.

Shields is now focusing his energy on the upcoming high school basketball season. He’ll be the starting centre for St. Patrick’s Regional Secondary School in Vancouver.

“I like basketball. It’s competitive, but in a totally different way (than fastball) and I like the fast pace,” he said. ”But I like fastball more. I guess it has to do with being more comfortable at the game.

It’s brought me a lot of success, and I like the strategies.”

Zhang nets juvenile girls’ golf championship Janet Zhang of Richmond came from behind to top the ďŹ eld and capture her ďŹ rst provincial golf championship Sunday at Princeton Golf Club.

Zhang, 15, won the B.C. Juvenile Girls’ title with a three-day total score of 222 after rounds of 73, 75 and 74. She was three strokes back of the lead going into final-round play before

coming up with six birdies over the ďŹ nal 18 holes. “I didn’t think I even had a chance to win coming into the event so to pull it off feels amazing,â€? she said. “To be able to call myself a provincial champion is special. I now feel that going into other tournaments I can place in the top ďŹ ve.

This is going to give me great conďŹ dence for next

year.�

Kathrine Chan of Richmond placed ďŹ fth overall after rounds of 80, 78 and 80. •Henry Lee of Coquitlam led from wire-to-wire to win the boys’ title with a score of -3. Richmond’s Diego San Pedro placed 14th at +12, Alexander Chen 18th at +15, and Chris Crisologo 22nd at +18.

Locals play for national honours It was quite a week for local golfers.

First, Christine Wong teed off in the CN Canadian Women’s Open at The Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam. And while she missed the weekend cut, the local amateur—who earned an exemption to play in the tournament—still carded a respectable two-round total 152 to ďŹ nish at 8-over par. It was the seventh best score by a Canadian, led by veteran pro Lori Kane’s plus four.

The event was won by amateur sensation Lydia Ko of New Zealand who carded a

ďŹ nal round 5-under par 67, becoming the ďŹ rst amateur in tournament history to win Canada’s championship.

Meanwhile, Matt Daniel of Richmond ďŹ nished ďŹ ve strokes back of winner Eugene Wong of North Vancouver at the men’s Canadian Tour Championship last weekend at the Scarboro Golf & Country Club.

Daniel was a model of consistency with rounds of 66, 69, 72 and 68 to ďŹ nish at 9-under par. –by Don Fennell

Richmond sending four to Paralympic Games in London

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Let the Games begin.

For a pair of Richmond athletes, and two local officials, tonight’s the night as the opening ceremony of the London Paralympic Games sets the stage for 11 days of intense international competition.

“I’m getting really excited,” said wheelchair athlete Travis Murao, prior to leaving for his first Paralympic Games. “Though it’s similar to the world championships in that we’ll be playing in front of large crowds, it gets stepped up a notch from what I’ve heard from the other players.

We’ll be playing in a stadium in front of 12,000 people. Everything will be (intensified).”

Teammate Ian Chan can attest to that.

For the captain of the Canadian team, which is expected to challenge for a medal, these will be his fourth Paralympics.

“Even though these will be my fourth Games there are definitely (still) going to be some nerves at an event like this,” said Chan. “This is the big show and pinnacle of our sport, but at the same time we’ve got a great group of veterans and young talent on our team and we’re going to be prepared no matter what. I think we’re going to do well, but we still have to prove to ourselves and the world we belong on top. Every team has a shot so there could be some surprises.”

Chan said experience certainly helps, and he draws strength and confidence from past competitions. But, he added,

he also feeds off the energy of his teammates.

The wheelchair rugby competition begins Wednesday, Sept. 5 through Sunday, Sept. 9. Canada’s first game (Sept. 5 at 11 a.m. Pacific time) is against Australia.

They’ll face Belgium Sept. 6 (8:15 a.m.

Pacific time) and cap pool play Sept. 7 against Sweden (4:15 a.m. Pacific time).

The gold medal match is set for Sept. 9 (2:15 a.m. Pacific time).

Also attending the Games are Richmond’s Craig McCord, head coach of the Canadian swim team, and Benson Au, who is an athlete’s assistant in boccia (a sport similar to bocce in which athletes in wheelchairs throw coloured leather balls as close as they can to a white target ball).

Richmond’s Ian Chan hopes to captain Canada to gold in wheelchair rugby.

This sweet, shy girl arrived at the Richmond SPCA via the Drive for Lives Program and has now moved to the Vancouver Branch in hopes of finding a forever home. She was surrendered by her original owner due to her owner’s allergies. Lady is a very friendly and affectionate cat who loves to be scratched behind the ears. Just like her name, she is very lady-like. Lady will do best as the only cat in the house as she is anxious around other cats.

She is quite a playful cat who loves to play with string toys (like a cat charmer). She will be an excellent indoor cat but does not like being outside, as it makes her nervous. She enjoys being brushed, and is well behaved when her nails are being clipped in the appropriate manner. Lady will be a perfect addition to a quite family who is looking for an affectionate and playful addition. She would do best in a home with no children, or older children who are quieter, as it takes her time to adjust to her new surroundings.

> Hockey Day in Richmond

Facing off for a good cause

Around Town Amanda Oye

Declan and Kat Speiran.

The sounds of laughter and hockey sticks filled the Brighouse Lacrosse Box last Wednesday as kids ran around playing in a ball hockey tournament for Richmond Addiction Services’ second annual

Hockey Day in Richmond.

The tournament was put on with the purpose of raising awareness for Richmond Addiction Services and “getting kids involved,” said Richard Dubras, the executive director of Richmond Addiction Services.

There were five teams of kids 8 to 16 years old who came out to play. Food was sold by M&M Meats and there was music playing throughout the day.

The RCMP and a group of fire fighters came out to watch and play around with the kids for a bit.

Richmond Addiction Services does a lot of work with schools

throughout the year so they wanted to hold a summer event to help raise awareness.

They want to make sure that kids know where they can go for help if they need it.

“It’s all about creating a relationship with the community,” Dubras said.

A hockey tournament was the event of choice given that the costs to set up were minimal and because “we know that there’s young hockey players who struggle with drugs and alcohol,” Dubras said.

Amanda Oye covers the social scene. amanda.oye@ telus.net.
