Film festival born from secret screenings

Steveston streets to get new look

Local film festival director Ying Wang developed her love for the art in China

n a country where foreign films could only be seen in secret, Ying Wang managed to watch one that changed her life. It was Ingmar Bergman’s Cries and Whispers, a 1972 Swedish film about two sisters who watch over a third dying of cancer.

“I remember after watching that I wanted to cry for no reason. It just touched me so deeply,” said Wang, a 44-year-old former journalist.

The film helped cultivate a longlasting love of film that led the Beijing native to create a film festival in Richmond six years ago. Now in year three in its current format, Your Kontinent: Richmond International Film and Media Arts Festival returns July 19 to the Richmond Cultural Centre.

The nine-day celebration of the arts, co-presented by Cinevolution Media Arts Society and the City of Richmond, aims to challenge perceptions while turning a spotlight on the inter-connectedness of the world.

Over 30 films will be presented, art will be exhibited in shipping containers and dim sum will be served during a screening.

Some video won’t be projected onto screens at all, but on a ninemetre-wide teepee from artist Dana Claxton. This year’s festival offers plenty more intrigue, including a multidisciplinary performance from Taiwanese flamenco dancer Pisui Ciyo, who will lead her audience in a

secret project.

For festival director Wang, her love of film began in the closed society of China. Watching international films was difficult, if not impossible, but Wang nonetheless managed to secretly watch them. When she arrived in Canada in 1997, the doors to film opened for Wang, who quickly found herself drawn to the Vancouver International Film Festival.

“After coming here, I was completely exposed to a new world,” she said.

Wang was an international student at University of B.C., skipping classes to watch films and eating “simple food” to afford tickets. She learned that to be an artist didn’t require a degree or a lot of money, and she became a self-taught filmmaker, releasing her first feature Sisters in 2003.

A Richmond resident, Wang felt compelled to create a film festival here to share her passion and fill a

cate across cultures has increased.

More volunteers have stepped forward and the festival has a strong partner in the city, but mounting it each year is nonetheless a labour of love. Yet Wang, who was among the students who demonstrated in Tiananmen Square in 1989, in which hundreds of unarmed civilians were massacred, believes in doing something bigger than herself.

“I witnessed the whole development of the movement. After that I became more idealistic,” she said, adding it’s important for immigrants to expose themselves to new cultures. “Otherwise there’s no point to come here. And maybe this something new can gradually change their perspective, gradually change the young generation’s perspective, and maybe they can bring it back to the country.”

Wider sidewalks, more benches, additional trees and greater accessibility are promised for two of Steveston’s signature streets.

City staff are urging council to adopt new longterm visions for Bayview and Chatham streets, following a recent round of public consultation.

No radical changes— such as a previous proposal of angled parking— are proposed, and street improvements will only occur with the gradual redevelopment of fronting properties. If that takes too long, council could opt to dip into city coffers to complete the visions.

Visions for both Bayview and Chatham streets turn the focus on pedestrians.

Each include sidewalks two-and-a-half-metres wide, with boulevards on either side. New benches and seating areas, along with increased bicycle parking, are promised.

To reduce vehicle speeding in the village, staff are proposing to extend a 30 km/h speed limit for the entire length of Chatham Street. Also included in the vision for both streets are curb bulges at each intersection to further reduce vehicle speed.

Staff Reporter Five thousand local apartment dwellers could soon have a new way to dispose of coffee grinds, apple cores and plant trimmings.

Richmond City Hall is eyeing a $770,000 pilot project to test organics collection at approximately 100 apartment buildings beginning this fall.

Currently the city’s organics collection program—which expanded last month—includes single-family homes and ground-level townhouses, reaching nearly twothirds of local homes.

City officials are aiming to reach all residents before organics are banned from the landfill.

“As part of advancing toward 70 per cent waste diversion by 2015, the Metro Vancouver region is intending to ban all compostable organics from disposal in 2015,” noted Suzanne Bycraft, manager of fleet and environmental programs, in a report a council committee will consider today (Wednesday).

Compostable organics include materials such as food scraps, paper and yard waste. Left in the landfill, rotting organics generate potent greenhouse gases and leachate at landfill sites.

According to the Recycling Council of B.C., an average British Columbian generates over 600 kilograms of waste annually—one-third of which is organic waste.

If approved by council, the pilot program would start Oct. 1 and run through 2014. It would be free to residents. Each apartment would receive a kitchen container, which could be emptied into a communal cart.

Bycraft noted that service to apartments is challenging on a number of fronts, namely space limitations of buildings

and lack of quality control. So the city will test a variety of approaches to collect the waste.

The city is also planning to test the waters of organics recycling at

up to six small commercial strip malls—at the option of the businesses and property managers.

Participating businesses would have to pay for the service.

The cost of the pilot program includes $110,000 for bins and containers and up to $570,000 in collection and disposal costs, according to a staff report.

The City of Richmond hereby gives notice that the City intends to provide assistance to Richmond Kiwanis Senior Citizens Housing Society (“Kiwanis”), pursuant to section 24 of the Community Charter. The City intends to contribute up to a maximum of $20,837,610 from current funds in and future development contributions to the City’s capital Affordable Housing Reserve to assist with the costs of construction of 296 senior affordable housing units on a parcel of land to be subdivided from 6251 Minoru Boulevard. The term of the contribution agreement is for a period of five years, expiring on November 8, 2017. Kiwanis will grant to the City a mortgage and other security to secure the City’s contributions and performance of the obligation to construct the 296 senior affordable housing units. The mortgage and other security will be discharged following completion of the senior affordable housing units and satisfaction of Kiwanis’ obligations under the contribution agreement and other agreements between the City and Kiwanis relating to the construction of the senior affordable housing units.

Any inquiries concerning the proposed assistance may be addressed to the City’s Affordable Housing Coordinator at dbeno@richmond.ca or 604-247-4946.

On Friday, at the Richmond RCMP detachment, Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton put the results of the provincewide effort on display.

“Let’s get those out of places they shouldn’t be,” Anton told reporters of the weapons that were turned over to police from across the province.

More than 1,800 firearms, 155 other weapons and about 37,000 rounds of ammunition were turned in to police for destruction at locations across the province.

Of those, 1,429 firearms and 97 other unwanted weapons were turned in to RCMP detachments.

“The public’s response and participation in the amnesty was over-

whelming successful,” said deputy commission Craig Callens, the commanding officer of the B.C. RCMP. “We were able to reach small rural communities such as Tumbler Ridge in northern B.C. with six firearms turned in and the largest community the RCMP polices, namely Surrey, who had 237 guns turned in.”

The majority of the firearms handed over to Mounties were rifles, shotguns and handguns, including a machine gun received by the Kelowna

RCMP and 1880s bayonets turned into the Ridge Meadows RCMP. But there was also a sixfoot long military-grade missile, kept as a souvenir from a tour of duty overseas, was also turned in by a relative of the keeper.

The program’s goal was to encourage British Columbians to safely dispose of unwanted weapons that might otherwise fall into the hands of criminals, children or others, potentially leading to tragic consequences.”

Kerry-Lynne Findlay named Minister of National Revenue Delta-Richmond East MP KerryLynne Findlay was promoted to Minister of National Revenue in a cabinet shuffle by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Monday.

The Conservative MP, who first elected in 2011, was previously associate national defence minister, a position she held since February.

She becomes the first Richmond MP to become a full cabinet minister since Tom Siddon, who served as minister of defence, Indian affairs and fisheries from 1985 to 1993.

“I am very proud to assume my new duties as minister of national revenue and I am thankful for the responsibility that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has bestowed

Loblaw buys Shoppers Drug Mart

by Jeff Nagel Black Press A $12.4-billion deal by grocery giant Loblaw to snap up Shoppers Drug Mart may further reduce retail competition in B.C. Officials with the two firms denied that will happen, but the transaction does put another big chunk of B.C.’s retail landscape under the control of a single parent company.

In B.C., Loblaw operates or franchises dozens of stores under the Real Canadian Superstore, Extra Foods, T&T Supermarket and NoFrills brands, among others.

Both firms say the deal will yield big benefits, including a bigger national retailing network for the more than 1,200 Shoppers outlets.

There are six Shoppers outlets in Richmond.

Shoppers Drug Mart will keep its brand name and operate as a division of Loblaw, but will expand its product lines, adding Loblaw PC brand private label and convenience food.

Shoppers’ Life brands are likewise expected to show up on the shelves of other Loblaw stores.

Officials promised they won’t close stores or eliminate loyalty points, adding the Shoppers Optimum and PC Plus loyalty programs will be crossmarketed across the group.

The deal still must be approved by shareholders. It comes one month after a $5.8-billion deal by rival grocer Sobey’s to buy Canada Safeway stores.

upon me,” Findlay said in a press release on Monday.

Findlay has progressed rapidly through the ranks of the Harper Conservative government since being first elected to office May 2, 2011.

A former Vancouver lawyer, Findlay was a member of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal until her election, and appointed parliamentary secretary to the minister of justice when she assumed office.

As Minister of National Revenue, Findlay will be responsible for the Canada Revenue Agency and the administration of taxation law and tax collection in Canada.

Richmond MP Alice Wong stays on as Minister of State for Seniors.

engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country.

And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost.

Another big opposition target was the province’s

failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago.

The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre.

The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do.

What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here.

An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement

of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs.

In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees.

In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it.

It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health.

But that is not what happens.

The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

ters’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision.

The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets.

The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and

’ve never been a car person. I am so blind to cars that I can’t name the brand, let alone the model of most cars I travel in.

When I borrow a friend’s vehicle, I make sure I take a picture of it so I know what it looks like in the parking lot. Cars are cars. They are just means to an end of schlepping kids around Richmond or packing everybody into a car for a vacation.

Not anymore. My perception has been permanently changed by our family’s recent acquisition of a

BMW convertible. Call it our midlife crisis car if you will, but this new toy has opened my world to the pleasures of driving – in particular, driving with the top down.

There are joys that only my convertible brings me.

In the car, I’m reminded of being connected to the outside world. I’m not entirely encased in my metal box; somehow, I’m one with the rest of the world in a way that I’m not in our minivan. It’s rather like being in a bike on steroids, albeit one with a radio and cushier seats.

When I drive with the top down, I smell Richmond. I sense the sweet flowering trees in bloom, the green scent of a recent rainstorm, and even the musty compost of nearby farms (although I could do without that odour blasting in the wind in my face.)

The view from a car is also incomparable. Driving topless, so to speak, opens up your vision field 180 degrees. I can see the seagulls soaring overhead, the trees swaying in the wind, and the sparkling water next to Shady Island. I can see neighbours walking down the

street. At intersections, I smile with pedestrians. It’s uncanny.

I can hear differently too.

Sounds that are muted by

windows and a roof are out in the open now. There are blackbirds trilling in the trees, frogs thrumming in the ditches, and the clat-

ter of leaves knocking on overhead branches.

And of course, there is the glamour of the convertible. In my car, I imagine myself to be cool, a 2013 version of Christie Brinkley from the Vacation movies, (you know when she pulls up in the hot car, wind blowing in her hair?)

I have to remind myself that not only Christy but also myself is now past the hot-girl-in-car stage.

No matter. I still feel cool.

In fact, most people driving convertibles on the street fall into my age category – the mid life crisis car demographic.

There are many joys of summer, most of them having to do with our getting out in nature. Who would have thought that a car could bring me such joy from the outdoors?

While nothing can beat my trusty bicycle for commuting, the convertible has now become my guilty pleasure. Enjoy summer, Richmond. Top down.

Advice for future RV park operators Editor: Peter Mitchell’s letter (“RV park would do more for tourism,” July 12) prompted us to reply.

Yes, both tourism and the demand for an RV park in Richmond was well-proven by the 18 years we ran such a campground in Richmond (we leased the land from the city with two-year leases all this time). Expo proved to be the perfect year to open this park, however, we continued to receive hundreds of visitors from all over the world, even after Expo.

Once the city wanted to take this land back for development, ironically for the oval, we went through many “hoops and hurdles” trying to lease another property to continue with this campground. MacDonald Beach was our first choice; however, nothing proved to be suitable as far as the city was concerned.

Should there be the opportunity for this to ever happen again, you would definitely need a minimum of 30-amp electrical service and a sani-dump or mobile service would also be a must (as the closest sani-dump is in Delta). We are now happily retired but would be happy to offer our 18-years’ experience as consultants should anyone care to take on this project.

Hope for rabbits not lost Editor: Anthropologist Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Last week, I saw just such a group come from all over the Lower Mainland to Richmond City Hall, to try and do just that. This group was trying to change the life and world of one resident of Richmond, one resident who was sick and suffering and living on the grounds of city hall. This group was trying to save the life of a dying, abandoned pet rabbit.

The lives of the pets abandoned on the streets of Richmond are harsh. Whether they are abandoned rabbits, cats, dogs or even guinea pigs, every day spent on the street is a long, hard, struggle to survive. Sickness, malnutrition, injury, pain, suffering and ultimately death is their fate. So what is being done about this atrocity that is occurring on our streets, in our parks and on the grounds of city hall?

One would hope we could turn to government for help and support in abolishing this tragedy that is happening right in front of us. This is not a government to turn to for leadership and guidance on ending the reality of animal suffering and abuse. “We just let them (rabbits) live out their natural life cycle”, is the official word from city hall. What natural

life would that be? A pet animal has no skills to live out a natural life in the wild.

It is time for change to happen in Richmond. Basic humanity dictates that it should not be acceptable for pet animals to be thrown out onto the streets like trash and left to “live out their... life cycle” suffering with agonizing deaths. Humans do not live alone in the world nor in this city. We share our world with animals, and it is time we all acknowledge and take responsibility for the obligations that come with sharing our world. It is time to recognize that animals have rights too. The suffering of the dumped pet rabbits and other animals in Richmond is on our hands. We have caused it, and only we can stop it.

Sadly the little rabbit passed away. There is some consolation to be found in that this gentle soul passed on while being cared for and loved, instead of dying alone and suffering in the bushes covered in maggots, which is how she was discovered. Some consolation, but sadly not enough.

So long as there are those that care enough to try and help make a difference in the lives of the rabbits, there will always be hope and one day change for all will happen. You see step by step, day by day, rabbit by rabbit, we really can make a difference. Hope for our rabbits will never be lost.

Salmon barbecue raised $29,000 for Steveston Community Centre The Sutton Group – Seafair Realty team served up 1,940 dinners and 1,200 pounds of salmon at this year’s Steveston Salmon Festival, raising $29,000 for various children’s and seniors’ programs at Steveston Community Centre.

It was the nineteenth year in a row that Sutton Group – Seafair Realty hosted the salmon barbecue at the Steveston Salmon Festival, where more than 70,000 people joined together to celebrate Canada’s birthday.

Dozens of realtors from Sutton Group – Seafair Realty offices in Richmond and Delta along with their families and friends volunteered at the salmon barbecue tent. They fired up the barbecues at around 11 a.m. and kept grilling until they sold out just after 3 p.m.

“The volunteers worked like a well-oiled machine; the day went very smoothly," says Jim Hinchcliffe, who has organized the barbecue since 1994.

The fundraising total for the past 19 years has climbed to $280,000.

“The highlight for our team is the spirit of community that we all feel,” notes Jim. “We have been honoured to run the barbecue for the past 19 years and some of our team have been there for all 19 of them.

Pancho and Sal play Steveston Folk Guild The Rio Samaya Band will handle musical duties at the next Steveston Folk Guild concert tomorrow (Thursday) at Britannia Shipyards.

Comprising musicians Pancho and Sal, well known at local venues, the band’s musical display will include songs in Spanish, English and French.

They’ll also play a variety of instruments—from guitar and ukulele to accordion and flute.

Born in Argentina, Pancho wrote poems from a young age. He moved to Europe to follow his dreams of playing the guitar and sharing his songs with the world.

After touring in many countries, he became a troubadour style musician in the ‘80s in Sweden.

Playing with Gypsies in the South of France, he learned rumbas and flamenco. His compositions reflect these influences of flamenco and other folk rhythms. A fter years of exchange with other musicians, his original music has a wide diversity of styles.

Sal, who was born in England and raised in Canada, met Pancho in Peru, and from then on together as a family and musical duo have established a name for themselves.

Sal complements the music with her vocals, accordion, shakers, cha chas, bombo and guitar.

The 7:30 p.m. concert will be held in the Chinese Bunkhouse at Britannia Shipyards, 5880 Westwater Dr. Tickets, $8, available at the door.

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice

Young Stealers hoping for better showing the second time around Richmond hosting Argentina in fastpitch doubleheader

Do you see this ad? (your future customers do, too)

by Don Fennell

Let’s talk.

Sports Editor The last time they faced Argentina’s junior national men’s fastball team, Ryan Shields and Jake Doyle were left shaking their heads.

That was just over a week ago, when Shields and Doyle were playing for Team B.C. at the under-21 international championship in Saskatoon. The Argentians won the game 14-3.

On Thursday (first pitch is at 6:45 p.m. at Steveston Park), the two young Richmond players will have the chance at some redemption when they suit up for the Stealers during an exhibition game against the Argentinians. The game will be the first of a doubleheader, with the Richmond Mariners facing Argentina at 8:30 p.m.

“They’re really fast and quick, which I’m sure has something to do with their success,” says Shields. “And

considering how small they are, they can also smash the ball. They’re obviously well-grounded in the fundamentals and their coaching is really strict. I’m looking forward to playing them again because I think we have better chance of competing against them (with the Stealers being mostly adults).”

Doyle is also anxious to play the Argentinians again.

“I’m one of the younger players on the team and having the opportunity to

play in the under-21s was a good learning experience,”he says.“And playing up with the Stealers has been great too, because I get to see a lot of good pitching.”

Doyle says the calibre of softball at the under21s was as good as he’s seen, with the pitching,

hitting and fielding all at an elite level.

For Argentina, Thursday’s games are part of a 20-day North American tour that includes games in the U.S. and will further serve as a prelude to the 2014 Junior Men’s World Fastpitch Championship next summer in Whitehorse.

Your Key to Real Estate Success

The Richmond Rugby Football Club has announced its third annual Maurice Smith All-Stars and, for the first time, the team includes 10 junioraged players as well as the traditional senior boys and girls.

While it was a down year for quantity, the quality of the programs for the 2013 season was very high, said Richmond Rugby Club spokesman Graham Haigh.

At the junior level, both Hugh McRoberts and R.A. McMath competed in the Vancouver secondary school league, performing admirably against many of the bigger triple-A schools. McRoberts was led from the front by captain Sam Hagong, who was also called up to the senior team for the lead up to the provincial tournament. McMath was led by hard-nosed centre Nathan Irvine, who was also invited to play for Vancouver-West during the recent Provincial Regional Championship tournament. McMath, in a stunning, double overtime upset, defeated McRoberts in the city final, going on to place third in the Lower Mainland.

For senior girl’s rugby in the city, 2013 was the second straight year featuring two Richmond programs.

The McMath Wildcats, under the watchful eye of rookie

Despite a narrow loss to crosstown rivals McRoberts, and some nailbiting finishes, the girls did not qualify for the B.C. finals. However, McRoberts, featuring a roster comprised mostly of Grade 9s, 10s and 11s as able to squeak into the provincial tournament and finished seventh at the Tier-II level.

With all five of their city allstars (including PRC invitee Holly Davis) returning for the 2014 season, the Strikers seem

poised to compete at the level of play that saw them win the provincial tournament only a few short years ago.

McRoberts’ senior boy’s team was a pleasant surprise, finishing seventh in the province despite the graduating of a number of players from last years’ squad. B.C. level player Anton Metalnikov and shifty halfback Matias McDonald helped the Strikers knock off a number of high level opponents during the regular season including eventual provincial champions Collingwood.

B.C. fastball champs on tap

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The best in B.C. will be in Richmond this weekend, with no fewer than three provincial fastball titles up for grabs.

The Richmond Girls’ Softball Association is hosting the provincial Senior B Women’s Softball Championship Friday through Sunday

at London Fields, while across town at Merrell Fields (at Palmer Secondary), the Richmond Boys’ Fastball Association is hosting the provincial under-14 and under-18 boys’ championships.

The Richmond Islanders 92-93 and Richmond Senior B Islanders are both hoping to fare well in the provincial

Student athletes get high marks From Page 14

With the retirement of longtime coach Gary Hirayama, the program will look at 2014 as a new beginning of sorts. McMath’s senior boy’s team, meanwhile, will continues to take strides towards becoming a powerhouse program, after competing for the first time in the Vancouver league against tough opposition. After knocking off a number of higher ranked opponents, the Wildcats fell short of their playoff goal. How-

ever, the team’s scrummaging, featuring captain/ prop and future UBCOkanagan player Dano Golden, was its strength throughout the year, a testament to the fine coaching by Mike Charlton and Erik Favrholdt.

Maurice Smith was one of the founding members of the Richond Rugby Football Club. He passed away in 2009, but his legacy lives on in the determination, athleticism and perseverance of the 30 athletes being recognized.

Coached by Dawn Stadel, the Richmond Mariners’ under-14 boys’ team recently conclud-

OF PET THE WEEK

“FLAME� NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“FLAME, ID# 301494, CANARY CROSS, ADULT, AGE UNKNOWN�

Flame is a cheerful singer and will liven up the atmosphere of any family.

His songs are bound to make your home cheerful and lively. Canaries usually live 8 to 10 years, but can live up to 15 years under proper nutrition. Canaries should not have their wings clipped as a taming device as they rely entirely on their wings for mobility to reach feeding cups and perches. For cages, it must be large enough to promote exercise, and also watch out for opened windows if you plan to have him fly freely.

If you think that Flame is the right addition for you family, please come visit him at the shelter!

Hugh Tait and Todd Haverstock.

A

giant leap towards sending 125 kids on the trip of a lifetime was made at Dreams Take Flight’s 10th annual Golf for Dreams, Lori Fergusson Memorial Tournament, on July 9 at Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club.

The event, which was generously sponsored by the Air Canada Foundation, featured a full day of golf, followed by dinner, golf awards and silent and live auctions.

“To see it all come to fruition was awesome,” said Melissa Hance, the president of Dreams

Take Flight.

“We had a lot of good feedback.”

Golf for Dreams is held each year in memory of Lori Fergusson, the founder and past president of Vancouver’s chapter of Dreams Take Flight, who passed away in 2008.

The event is 100 per cent volunteer run.

“Our volunteers just pour their hearts and souls into this day,” Hance said.

Without them and the staff at Mayfair Lakes, the event would not have been possible, she said.

All money raised at the event helps Dreams Take Flight take children dealing with physical, mental and social disorders to Disneyland for a day.

The next group of kids will get to experience the magic of Disneyland on Oct. 22.

n a country where foreign films could only be seen in secret, Ying Wang managed to watch one that changed her life. It was Ingmar Bergman’s Cries and Whispers, a 1972 Swedish film about two sisters who watch over a third dying of cancer.

“I remember after watching that I wanted to cry for no reason. It just touched me so deeply,” said Wang, a 44-year-old former journalist.

The film helped cultivate a longlasting love of film that led the Beijing native to create a film festival in Richmond six years ago. Now in year three in its current format, Your Kontinent: Richmond International Film and Media Arts Festival returns July 19 to the Richmond Cultural Centre.

The nine-day celebration of the arts, co-presented by Cinevolution Media Arts Society and the City of Richmond, aims to challenge perceptions while turning a spotlight on the inter-connectedness of the world.

Over 30 films will be presented, art will be exhibited in shipping containers and dim sum will be served during a screening.

Some video won’t be projected onto screens at all, but on a ninemetre-wide teepee from artist Dana Claxton. This year’s festival offers plenty more intrigue, including a multidisciplinary performance from Taiwanese flamenco dancer Pisui Ciyo, who will lead her audience in a

secret project.

For festival director Wang, her love of film began in the closed society of China. Watching international films was difficult, if not impossible, but Wang nonetheless managed to secretly watch them. When she arrived in Canada in 1997, the doors to film opened for Wang, who quickly found herself drawn to the Vancouver International Film Festival.

“After coming here, I was completely exposed to a new world,” she said.

Wang was an international student at University of B.C., skipping classes to watch films and eating “simple food” to afford tickets. She learned that to be an artist didn’t require a degree or a lot of money, and she became a self-taught filmmaker, releasing her first feature Sisters in 2003.

A Richmond resident, Wang felt compelled to create a film festival here to share her passion and fill a

cate across cultures has increased.

More volunteers have stepped forward and the festival has a strong partner in the city, but mounting it each year is nonetheless a labour of love. Yet Wang, who was among the students who demonstrated in Tiananmen Square in 1989, in which hundreds of unarmed civilians were massacred, believes in doing something bigger than herself.

“I witnessed the whole development of the movement. After that I became more idealistic,” she said, adding it’s important for immigrants to expose themselves to new cultures. “Otherwise there’s no point to come here. And maybe this something new can gradually change their perspective, gradually change the young generation’s perspective, and maybe they can bring it back to the country.”

Wider sidewalks, more benches, additional trees and greater accessibility are promised for two of Steveston’s signature streets.

City staff are urging council to adopt new longterm visions for Bayview and Chatham streets, following a recent round of public consultation.

No radical changes— such as a previous proposal of angled parking— are proposed, and street improvements will only occur with the gradual redevelopment of fronting properties. If that takes too long, council could opt to dip into city coffers to complete the visions.

Visions for both Bayview and Chatham streets turn the focus on pedestrians.

Each include sidewalks two-and-a-half-metres wide, with boulevards on either side. New benches and seating areas, along with increased bicycle parking, are promised.

To reduce vehicle speeding in the village, staff are proposing to extend a 30 km/h speed limit for the entire length of Chatham Street. Also included in the vision for both streets are curb bulges at each intersection to further reduce vehicle speed.
