he organizer of an anti-racism rally in Richmond has challenged people of all ethnicities to “get out of their comfort zones.”

Edward Liu was speaking in the wake of Sunday’s protest at the Brighouse Canada Line station, which drew an estimated 250 people from various ethnic backgrounds.

The event — the third of its kind in as many weeks in Richmond after anti-immigration flyers targeting the Chinese community were distributed in the Steveston area — was positive.

However, it was marred slightly by the ap-

pearance of a small group from the Soldiers of Odin, a citizen-based “street patrol” organization, closely connected to anti-immigration movements in Finland.

“I’m asking people –—no matter their ethnicity — to step out of their comfort zone and make an effort to get to know the people in their communities,” Liu told the News.

“I’m asking people to reach out to their neighbours; talk to them, make them some cookies or just say hello when you bump into them; don’t just look the other way.”

Liu, a long-time Richmond resident and immigrant from Hong Kong, said he was pleasantly surprised to see so many people turn out on Sunday in solidarity.

“It was mostly residents, but it included

teachers and community leaders from different ethnicities,” he said.

“After the last (anti-racism rally), some people called me and emailed me to say they were not Chinese, but wanted to show their support; they urged me to organize another event, to give them an opportunity to speak out and show that Richmond was not a racist place.”

Liu said he and his fellow organizers are now talking about hosting some workshops and activities on a smaller scale, which will “help us learn more about each other.”

Organizers of Sunday’s rally were also gathering signatures for a petition, which Liu See Liu page 3

Car dealer pepper-sprayed during Craigslist sale Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

P

olice are on the look-out for a white Mazda SUV after its owner was allegedly peppersprayed while trying to sell the vehicle on Craigslist.

Around 10 p.m. last Thursday, a 39-year-old Richmond man was found by Mounties in the 7000-block of Turnill Street — near to Garden City Road and Granville Avenue — suffering from injuries consistent with being pepper-sprayed.

According to police, the man, who’s an auto dealer, placed an advert on Craigslist to sell a 2009 Mazda Tribute SUV and had arranged to meet a potential buyer in Richmond.

But when the meeting took place and the key was handed over to the buyer for him to have a look at the vehicle, the victim alleges he was pepper sprayed several times.

It was then that the alleged thief took off with the Mazda and was last seen heading north on Turnill Street.

The victim was later treated for pepper spray contamination and is expected to recover.

No arrest has been made and the vehicle has yet to be recovered.

The suspect is described as Caucasian, 5’8 tall, in his 20s with brown, curly hair and a dark jacket

The missing vehicle is a white 2009 Mazda Tribute GT SUV, with black wheels, dark grey leather interior with the headrests missing from the rear seats and the vehicle may still have the dealer BC licence plate starting with the sequence D649.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Richmond RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Liu: 'Soldiers' not here to promote racial harmony From page 1 said he will hand over to Richmond’s mayor, three MLAs and the RCMP, urging them to do more to foster racial harmony in the city.

Earlier, on Friday, another rally was held, in concert, at the Richmond Cultural Centre by 17 church groups from within the city.

The flyers that fueled recent events largely targeted Chinese immigrants, accusing them of many ills in the community, not least driving up house prices.

One even cited an “alt-right” website, linked to the white nationalist movement in the U.S. On Sunday, although claiming not to be racist, pledging support for everyone, irrespective of race and carrying signs stating “Stand And Fight Against Hate,” — the three men representing the Soldiers of Odin were told their presence wasn’t welcome and, after a few words were exchanged, moved further down No. 3 Road.

Despite repeated attempts to contact the Soldiers of Odin’s B.C. chapter through its Facebook page, the News was not able to reach the group or its local leaders for

comment.

At the event, Soldiers of Odin representative Kris Erickson told the News’ photographer that everyone had got their message wrong and claimed that they were there to express solidarity with the protestors.

However, Liu said that, after one of the organizers spotted the men in their “Soldiers of Odin” (SOO) jackets, the three men were asked to leave the vicinity,

despite it being a public place.

“If they were really there to promote racial harmony, they would be welcome to stay and take part. But we don’t believe, knowing about their ties to anti-immigration, that they were there to support antiracism,” Liu said.

“So, for the purposes of safety, they were asked to leave. Their jackets were intimidating because of their connections.

Despite their signs, we were not convinced

they were there for anything good.”

SOO, which has chapters across Canada, denies, on its public Facebook page, any accusations of being racist or antiimmigrant and claims to exist to primarily protect women and children by keeping the streets safe.

However, it’s been alleged the group’s private Facebook page is filled with racist and xenophobic comments, mainly directed towards Muslims.

ichmond city council has approved hiring 11 more police officers, but questions remain as to whether the RCMP can deliver on its request.

“We never seemed to have filled up our full complement” of officers from last year, said Coun. Derek Dang, speaking to Richmond RCMP Supt. Rennie Nesset during a drawnout discussion at a city council meeting Monday evening at Richmond city hall.

At issue is the fact Richmond is presently authorized to have 214 officers on duty and a base budget for 203, but only has 189 active members, with an additional 18 on modified duty or administrative leave.

The lack of officers has sparked criticism among some councillors.

Coun. Dang questioned whether the RCMP is providing Richmond with adequate staffing levels.

Council had approved 12 new officers last year, however the city has yet to see all of them in uniform.

Nesset insisted the RCMP will deliver on that request by the end of this month. He said the RCMP will have another year to deliver the additional 11 officers, plus three municipal staff members, come 2017.

Council approved the new staffing levels at an additional cost of $2.3 million.

As a result of the understaffing, Dang expressed concerns about the amount of money the city is paying in overtime to the

detachment. He cited a recent CBC News report that notes the RCMP is spending roughly $150 million each year in overtime, resulting in stressed-out officers as a result of lack of staff.

“You have people operating (with) stress and not at capacity and this isn’t a service to the community,” said Dang.

Nesset acknowledged overtime payments are a concern, but downplayed the impact of officers ending up on long-term disability.

Another issue raised by Coun. Bill McNulty is the perception that Richmond is only receiving new recruits and losing experienced officers to fields elsewhere.

“I’m hoping Richmond loses its tag that we’re a good spot for promotion. I’d like to see our officers stay here and be a part of the community,” said McNulty.

Nesset said the RCMP attempts to promote within the detachment.

Also at issue is whether or not the RCMP is paying its officers well enough in order to retain them.

Nesset cited an instance where one Richmond Mountie left for the Vancouver Police Department to earn $20,000 more per year. He said the RCMP does provide better benefits to offset the wage gaps vis-a-vis municipal forces.

“Sounds like you have to have a lot of kids with crooked teeth to make up for 20 grand a year,” interjected Coun. Alexa Loo. Council is also cognizant of potential unionization talks within the RCMP. The City of Richmond claims it is prepared for increased costs. It has already accounted for a 2.7 per cent increase to wages this year.

Residential break-ins spike in Richmond ALANCAMPBELL

Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

P

olice are asking Richmondites to be on the look-out after a significant spike in residential break-ins in the city.

From November to December, burglaries have shot up a worrying 42 per cent compared to the same period the previous year.

“We normally see a slight increase around this time of year,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

“However, our numbers are above normal and we are tracking them carefully. Property crimes are largely being committed by individuals to fuel a drug habit.

“They are looking for property to quickly convert into cash to be used to purchase illicit drugs.”

Items commonly stolen, added Hwang, are jewelry, cash and personal electronics.

“Our patrol officers and officers from other specialized units have been re-tasked to focus on these residential burglaries in light of this recent increase,” said Hwang.

“In your neighbourhood, we ask that you try and establish a baseline for what goes on.

“What this means is that your knowledge of your neighbourhood and the day-to-day activities of those around you will help to establish what is considered normal or, your baseline.”

If you notice something inconsistent with your “baseline,” the police would like to

know about it.

For example, if you see a vehicle that’s not normally one that your neighbours would drive or inconsistent to what might belong in that neighbourhood, let the police know.

“Try to commit the description of that vehicle and any details of it to memory,” said Hwang.

“If you see someone standing around a house when you know your neighbour has gone to work, let us know.

“If you see someone on a bicycle wearing a hoodie looking into windows of cars or homes, let us know.”

If you have new camera technology installed in your home such as a Wi-Fi or network camera — then send the owner an image or live feed when motion is detected.

If the image captures someone looking into your home or car, that image could help police.

“A good phrase to remember is: See something, say something,” said Hwang.

“Another consideration is introducing Block Watch to your neighbourhood.

“They can help provide the tools and the mindset to be mindful of crime in our neighbourhoods.”

If you’re interested in joining Block Watch, contact coordinator Rita Leung for more information at 604-278-1212.

Bystanders likely to give CPR in Chinese neighbourhoods: Study Randy Shore

Vancouver Sun rshore@postmedia.com

P

eople who suffer a cardiac arrest in public are more likely to receive CPR from bystanders in the city’s ethnic Chinese neighbourhoods, according to new research from the University of British Columbia.

The chances of surviving a heart stoppage without neurological damage are

highest when it happens within 2.7 kilometres of a hospital, but researchers found higher survival rates in parts of the west side, east and southeast Vancouver that are not close to hospitals.

Bystanders appear more willing to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation — potentially lifesaving chest compressions — in predominantly Chinese neighbourhoods, said lead

researcher David Barbic, an emergency room physician at St. Paul’s Hospital.

Elevated rates of survival without brain damage were also found in Kitsilano, Strathcona and across a broad swath of central Richmond. The researchers analyzed data from 1,600 cardiac arrests in Vancouver, Richmond and the North Shore between 2007 and 2011.

“Areas with the highest

rates of bystander CPR roughly correlate to the neighbourhoods that tend to be ethnically Chinese,” he said. “It may be that the Chinese community in Vancouver is more receptive to performing CPR in a public place ... it’s hard to tell.”

Interest in first aid training in the Asian community has been strong for the past 20 years, especially since St. John Ambulance

Birth tourism fix Memories intersect at street signs gets cold shoulder S GRAEMEWOOD

Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

M

inister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship John McCallum has no appetite to change citizenship laws that would prevent birth tourism from occurring in Canada.

McCallum dismissed a petition sponsored by Richmond Centre MP Alice Wong that calls for an end to jus soli, or citizenship by birth on soil.

“While there may be instances of expectant mothers who are foreign nationals who travel to Canada to give birth, requiring that a parent be a citizen or permanent resident in order for their child to acquire citizenship through birth in Canada would represent a significant change to how Canadian citizenship is acquired,” stated McCallum.

Wong told the Richmond News she was “disappointed” with McCallum’s statement. and is preparing a private member’s bill for Parliament that would address the issue, which appears to be more pronounced at Richmond Hospital, with about one in six babies being born to foreign mothers.

“Canada has been enriched by new Canadians and their experiences. Immigration is an important part of our system,” said Wong. “That said, it’s very important to protect the integrity of the immigration system and ensure new Canadians come through a system that is fair.”

At issue is women who purposefully come to Canada to give birth, thus gaining automatic citizenship for their child, who can then sponsor the parents to come to Canada at age 18.

“It’s important to discourage foreign nationals from travelling It’s important to for the sole purpose of giving discourage foreign birth,” said Wong, who described nationals from trav- the process as “queue jumping.”

Wong said while the United elling for the sole States allows for the same process, that country taxes its purpose of giving citizens on all foreign-earned birth. income regardless of place of residence; Canada does not. As – ALICE WONG such, birth tourism is considered by many as an abuse of Canada’s social security net.

Richmond resident Kerry Starchuk began the petition earlier this year after living next to a “baby house” in her neighbourhood. The petition gained the support of nearly 9,000 signatories across Canada. Starchuk also said birth tourism is impacting the integrity of the immigration system.

Concerns have also been raised about the impact birth tourism is having on Canadians at Richmond Hospital, as a small fraction of births require diversion to nearby hospitals due to the maternity ward being over capacity — 14 mothers in an 18-month span, according to Vancouver Coastal Health.

There are also instances of those in labour being forced to wait in ER rooms, hallways and nursing rooms, as opposed to being immediately provided a proper bed. The hospital claims it is revamping its registration process to limit any impact foreign births may have.

In the hospital’s financial year of 2014/15, the hospital birthed 2,185 new Canadians, 339 of whom were to foreign nationals. Between 2004 and 2010, there were 18 non-resident births per year in Richmond, on average.

“We can say the problem has gotten worse in the past few years,” noted Wong.

The problem may be worsening elsewhere, noted Wong, granted other health authorities across Canada may not track foreign nationals giving birth.

She noted the BC Women’s Hospital in Vancouver does not accept foreign nationals.

Richmond’s birth tourism phenomenon is aided by the rise in “baby houses,” or homes where care is provided to the expectant mothers.

The provincial Audit and Investigations Branch, Eligibility, Compliance and Enforcement Unit is aware of at least 26 private residences that provide room and board services to foreign pregnant women.

Richmond is considered a particularly popular destination for Chinese nationals due to its proximity to China and access to Chinese-speaking doctors.

ome Richmond residents may have noticed by now that 61 streets in the city now have new signs with poppies on them, to commemorate the local soldiers who lost their lives in military service during the two world wars.

School trustee Ken Hamaguchi and members of Friends of the Richmond Archives proposed the new street signs, which were approved by city council last April, at a cost of $45,000.

In total, 275 new street signs were required to mark the memorial streets, noted a City of Richmond

news release.

“We owe a debt to our fallen soldiers that can never be paid,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

“This new street sign program is just one more way in which we can honour and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” added Brodie.

An online webpage is under development that will provide background information on the actual veterans named on the memorial signs. For more information on the program, visit the Friends of the Richmond Archives page on Facebook.

Good men/women do something Dear Editor, Sunday, Dec. 11 was a proud day for Richmond. In a community-led event, hundreds of people came out to say “No!” to racism and “Yes!” to a positive, inclusive society.

People from every walk of life, and all ages, crowded into the busy Brighouse Canada Line station to support our shared community and demonstrate with a clear voice that Richmond is stronger together and that united we can create a better tomorrow.

One of the speakers likened Canada’s enshrined multicultural values to a garden. In a diverse community, we have the opportunity to grow beautiful flowers of every colour, shape, and form. All of our citizens contribute to that garden, and we are all beneficiaries of its rich diversity.

There was an acknowledgment of the affordability issue that has become a crisis in Richmond, but this is the result of a very small, elite investor

class and planning issues (provincial and municipal), not race.

(O’Neil, Vancouver Sun, Nov. 30, 2016) No matter the colour of a person’s skin, we are all facing the problems of affordability, adequate wages and a tax system that is fair for everyone.

Across Richmond, people of every culture are working hard to pay rent and mortgages, put food on the table, and give our children opportunities.

Racism is the kind of poison that needs a whole community to rally together to fight and it would have been nice to see participation from our elected representatives, of all political stripes and levels of government.

I am not alone in thinking that fighting racism and hatred goes beyond party lines and political orientation.

Our darkest moments in Canadian history include residential schools, the Chinese head tax, Komagata Maru, Japanese internment camps, and Ukrainian

internment camps, to name but a few. Can we not learn from our mistakes?

When Pres. John F. Kennedy addressed the Canadian Parliament in 1961, he quoted Edmund Burke.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good

men to do nothing.”

Today, in Richmond, hundreds of good people stood up for their friends, family, neighbours, and co-workers.

You have my gratitude. Thank you.

Fight for tolerance must be unwavering

No snow bombs in Massey Tunnel

Dear Editor, It is time for people to take responsibility.

I have served overseas and seen just what ethnic intolerance can lead to — it is truly sickening.

It is easy to sit back and expect local, provincial and federal government to fix the problem, but they cannot. They have put the laws in place and those laws will be enforced, government pressure will not rid us of intolerance but peer pressure will!

We must not allow intolerance to feel comfort in our company and we must not teach it to our children.

The problem is not new in Richmond. The Japanese, Ukrainians and others have faced the same problems and with the help of their neighbours, they have overcome intolerance.

Intolerance can only survive when it is allowed to survive. That so-called, harmless racial joke is not harmless. It dehumanizes and

Dear Editor, Re: “Province failed to make tunnel safer,” Letters, Dec. 9.

I find it surprising that we are expected to trust our current provincial government when it

humiliates.

Offering advantage to a person based on ethnic origin, disadvantages another person for the same reason and it gives something for bigots to use as an excuse for their intolerance.

If you think that hiring from a certain ethnic background is good for business, then you assume that your potential customers are racist.

Personally, I find that very offensive. The solution starts with every person in Richmond.

We must all commit respect to ethnic, religious and gender differences and treat every person exactly the same, as complete equals because they are equals.

With that one commitment, all the idiots and their handbills will have no effect. But we must be unwavering in our resolve to quash all forms of racial, religious and gender intolerance.

Early risers, early feeders Dear Editor, Re: “Tiny birds go humming along despite winter’s chill,” Voices, Dec. 7.

For those who are interested in feeding hummingbirds throughout the winter, it is helpful to know that they are looking for their first meal of the day at civil twilight, which begins about a half hour before sunrise.

The actual time varies slightly from day to day, for example, it will move from 7:24 a.m. on Dec. 15 to 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 31.

Bazaar kicks off Christmas season Dear Editor On Saturday, Nov. 19 the Steveston United Church held its wonderful, Annual Bazaar.

I look forward every year to this event because, to me, it signifies the start of the Christmas season.

This little church and its community embodies the true Christian spirit.

Everyone, whether they are parishioners of the church or not, are given a warm welcome and are quickly surrounded by the joys of Christmas music and carols performed by talented members of the local community.

The church reflects the heritage of Steveston, not only in the faces of the parishioners but also in the wonderful and different goodies that are available for sale. How about taking

home a lunch of freshly prepared chow mein and rice, some delicious shortbread or other home made treats available for sale?

The preserves and pickles are varied; all home made using fresh produce sourced from local farms and very reasonably priced.

The silent auction is fun!

So many different and delightful things that have been generously donated by local businesses or members of the church.

All in all, this is a grand way to spend a few hours chatting, having coffee with neighbours and sharing a home baked goody.

To those reading this, I hope to see you there next year!

LETTERSto the Editor

Ready the eviction notices Dear Editor, I’d like to get this letter out because I want to make sure I understand this property tax situation completely and would like the feedback of the community.

Am I to understand that long-term property owners who have watched their taxes skyrocket out of control due to the housing market are now going to face the further hardship of having their property assessments reflect the market value of homes, plus have the further indignity of paying another three per cent on top of that?

So, a long-term homeown-

er, who may now be retired and on a fixed income, will potentially be looking at an assessment of $1.8 million (up from $1.2 million) and will be facing another three per cent increase on top of that? So that same resident, who is potentially between 65 to 75 years of age, is looking at their taxes going up from $400 per month to $600 to $700?

On a fixed income?

I hope I am mistaken. If this is the case, I suggest the city include eviction notices with their tax assessments this year.

If this happens, I hope

city councillors, who appear to have a three per cent increase automatically built into their paycheque, show the good grace to resign their positions.

I hope, if this is the case, the good people of Richmond, who built this community, start to push back and say, “screw you.”

We will not be pushed out of our homes. I hope someone in the community will tell me I am mistaken and do not understand what is really going on. I would be happy to hear it.

‘Healthy’ intervention needed Dear Editor, I sat in at the city council meeting Monday night, but left shortly after the presentation by Vancouver Coastal Health in relation to the stench emanating from the Harvest Power organics recycling plant.

In that presentation, the representatives confirmed their opinion that, although the smell may elicit negative symptoms, there is insufficient evidence and no data to support the notion the smell would make someone sick — even though it might aggravate a person’s asthma condition. There appeared to be consensus we need proof people are becoming sick, due to the smell, in order for this to become a public health matter.

VCH concluded it was the wrong public body to deal with the issue, as if “increase in illness” is the sine qua non of their involvement. However, VCH could find grounds to issue an “edict” in relation to Harvest if we understand its mission goes beyond containing medical illness, vaccinations, epidemics, etc.

Over the years, there has been a shift in public health focus towards community well-

ness. It has been proven wellness funding is a far more effective approach to public health management than focusing on disease and medical funding. As a community, we have invested millions in fitness facilities and community sports.

A video produced by Dr. Mike Evans from Toronto concludes that walking just 30 minutes a day would mitigate most known diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, by 40 to 50 per cent.

In fact, 30 minutes of walking was found to be more effective in promoting health than more strenuous activities such as gym fitness, sports, jogging etc.

If the population of Richmond is now feeling confined to their quarters due to the smell and is not spending time walking on the dyke and on the city’s paths, we would be aggravating public wellness.

That, I would argue, is the key for VCH to enter the fray from a public health perspective and use its public health powers to assist us in the battle to stop the stink in Richmond.

Fire training centre unveiled Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

R

ichmond firefighters have a new training facility in east Richmond to practise combatting infernos under live-fire scenarios.

The City of Richmond is leasing 1.6-acres of land from Lafarge Canada Inc. until 2024. Nearby to the Lafarge cement plant, the city has constructed a portable burn building that will light on fire under controlled circumstances, so firefighters can practice various firefighting techniques. Also on site is a fire truck driver training course.

Firefighters can practise forcible entry, extraction, confined space rescues and ground survival techniques.

“The city is committed to ensuring a safe community for all Richmond residents,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie, via a news release.

“This new site complements our fire department’s existing training program in providing our fire fighters with the skills and education essential to properly respond to the emergency needs of our community,” added

The city explicitly thanked Lafarge for the lease deal.

Lafarge plant manager Pascal Bouchard said he was pleased to help Richmond improve community safety.

The new training facility will complement a nearly complete set of new firehalls in Richmond.

By spring of next year, Richmond will have completed renovation or replacement of its seven fire halls.

Near Cambie and No. 4 roads is Fire Hall No. 3 — also under construction — which will double as an ambulance hall. All the halls will be earthquake resistant, per present-day standards.

This week, city council approved the purchase of a new additional quint (five function) fire truck at a cost of $1.4 million. Council has already approved $1.6 million in spending for new fire trucks in 2017.

A MONTHLY LOOK AT WHAT’S NEW AND NEWSWORTHY AT YVR.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2016

ISSUE # 47 D E C E M B E R 2 016

WINTER WEATHER AT YVR The Lower Mainland has seen some winter weather already this year. Here at YVR, safety is the focus of everything we do.

We are committed to maintaining a safe and secure airfield for aircraft and passengers.

Airport Authority staff begin preparations for each winter season in late summer by reviewing and revising plans, preparing specialized equipment, ordering supplies and briefing staff and contractors. These preparations culminate in full training exercises on the airport’s runways and taxiways.

WINTER TRAVEL TIPS • Always check the status of your flight on yvr.ca or with your airline before coming to the airport. Remember that inclement weather around the province or country could affect your flight.

WINTER SNOW OPERATIONS FLEET YVR’s snow response program includes the use of a snow removal fleet. We have 80 different specialized equipment to help us keep our runways and taxiways clear.

During a major snow storm, YVR will use this snowremoval equipment to keep runways, taxiways and aprons safe for aircraft and passengers. Our snowresponse fleet can clear the equivalent of Granville Street, full width and full length, from the Fraser River to Burrard Inlet, in less than 15 minutes.

Our snow removal fleet includes the following specialized equipment: • Five OshKosh H-Series snow blowers, which have

a combined capacity to blow 25,000 tons of snow every hour as far as 150 feet off of the airport’s runways and taxiways (5,000 tons/hour each).

• Four OshKosh P-Series/MB 4600 ‘all-in-one’ trucks, each capable of ploughing and sweeping a 24-foot wide path on the airport’s runways and taxiways.

• Check-in online, print your boarding pass before you leave for the airport or have it emailed to your handheld mobile device.

• If you are driving to the airport, have a parking plan.

• Factor in time for traffic congestion, parking and walking to the terminal.

• Allow ample time to check-in, clear security and board your flight.

• Three OshKosh H-Series sweeper with a 22-foot wide high-speed broom.

• Three OshKosh P-Series trucks, each equipped with a 24-foot high-speed snow plough.

• Three trucks that spread environmentally friendly solid and liquid de-icing solutions to ensure that YVR’s runways and taxiways don’t freeze over in cold weather.

ARTSin the City Harpdog brings the blues to Steveston record shop Philip Raphael

Staff Reporter praphael@richmond-news.com

A

self-described, almost “newcomer” to the world of blues music will be performing inside the cozy confines of the Beatmerchant Record Store in Steveston on Saturday (Dec. 17).

“I’ve been at this for the past 36 years, so, I’m kinda just getting started. In the blues world, I am still a young man,” said Brown, 54, who has been a popular headliner over the past few years with his harmonica and soulful vocals during the summer time’s Gulf of Georgia Cannery Music Series.

“There’s nothing quite like getting back down to the essence of what it took to sell records back in the day with record store performances,” Brown said. “So, when I got the opportunity, I took the bull by the horns to do something different and think outside of the box because, frankly, there aren’t a whole lot of record stores left in the world anymore.”

This will be the first time Brown will have set foot inside the Beatmerchant, where owner Frankie Neilson, who also manages the lineup for the Cannery Music Series, has enjoyed a decent sales run with

Brown’s latest CD called Travelin’ with the Blues.

“He’s played a couple of times in the summer and has always been a huge success,” Neilson said. “And his recent CD is very much in the Chicago blues, late 50s, early 60s style.

“He sent me a play copy and two copies of the CD and I just fell in love with it. And every time I played it in the store, I sold it.”

Neilson kept in touch with Brown’s publicist about the sales and they came upon the idea to have a live show.

“We thought a little performance with him and his guitar player would be ideal,” Neilson said.

Always keen to try something new, Brown, who got his name from fans in the late 1980s and made it legal three years ago following a divorce, agreed.

“I did a record store performance back in 1994 down in Portland when I cut a record there. And last summer I was at a record store in Vernon, which actually has a performance area in the back with a little stage and lights. That was kinda cool,” he said. “I’ve played some pretty interesting gigs, over the years and if I’ve never done one before, I’m a sucker. I’m coming in.

“I played a trailer park, a zoo,

prisons, a parade, funerals and weddings. I haven’t played a Bar Mitzvah, so that’s one I have to put on my list.”

In addition to providing support for those who sell his music, Brown said he likes the chance to meet fans one-on-one.

“We’re not playing places like big concert halls where you don’t meet your public,” he said. “We are definitely approachable at all of our gigs.

“We did an all-ages show in Mission the other night and there was a young lady, who is now 38, who called me over and said she was 13 and in Banff with her father when she heard me play,” he added. “So, I resonated with a 13-year-old girl who never forgot that.

“It’s those little things that I take to the bank. It’s not how much money I made from the last gig, or how much I’m going to make tomorrow night,” he said. “It’s deeper than that. Money is just a means. And when I get to know that I’ve made an impact or difference in someone’s life, that’s payment enough.”

Brown was also reminded of a fan battling cancer, who told him his music helped get him through medical treatments.

“Again, that deeply touched

me. And just try and put a dollar amount on something like that,” Brown said.

It’s those types of instances that is typical of Brown, Neilson said, who recalled a show at the cannery a couple of years ago.

“I had another blues guy who suffered a stroke and couldn’t perform and Harpdog stepped in and played the date for me and gave all the appearance money to the performer who was ill,” Neilson said. “He’s just a big-hearted guy who you want

to help support.”

This is not the first time Neilson has brought in a performer to his store. The difference is that this time the show will be done indoors at the small shop on Second Ave. “I’ll do the best I can,” Neilson said. “It’s not the biggest store.

It’s Christmas and just take it from there.”

Harpdog Brown will perform and sign autographs Dec. 17 at the Beatmerchant Record Store (12240 Second Ave.) from 2 – 4 p.m.

Music Man hits right notes n Prof. Harold Hill, played by Jay Hindle, brings music to the grumpy town of River City, despite the scepticism of librarian Marian Paroo, played by Meghan Gardiner in the production of The Music Man, currently playing Gateway Theatre.

EDITOR@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

T

here may be trouble right there in River City, but all’s good at the Gateway Theatre, where The Music Man opened Friday and will run until Dec. 31.

The lively musical about a con man who, in his self-serving deception, unwittingly brings joy and cohesion to the squabbling folks of River City, Iowa is done justice by Gateway’s holiday production thanks to a great lead and strong ensemble.

Meredith Willson’s Tony-Award winning musical first hit Broadway in 1957 but harkens back to what is often thought of as a simpler place and time.

However, River City, 1912 is a town full of prejudice, political polarization that is beguiled by a fear-monger who galvanizes people into supporting him by whipping up panic about a new entity in town that will lead youth astray, destroy traditional values and undermine economic prosperity.

Sound familiar?

But Prof. Harold Hill is talking about pool.

“Ya got trouble, folks, right here in River City. Trouble with a capital ‘T.’ And that rhymes with ‘P’ and that stands for pool!” as he says.

The magic of the show is how an ill-intent scoundrel can bring joy to an

intolerant and divided community by convincing them they can be more than what they seem, that together they can be part of something bigger, something beautiful.

The four school trustees, for example, fight incessantly until the “professor” helps them find harmony, literally, by turning them into a barbershop quartet.

Just as this story hinges on the character’s knack for spell-binding, so does the show depend on actor Jay Hindle’s ability to do the same. The Music Man demands a lot of its lead, and Hindle delivers.

As the self-proclaimed professor of music and band leader, despite being unable to play a note, Hindle electrifies the stage. He has that twinkle that’s hard to resist and his physicality brings to mind a young Dick Van Dyke.

Of course, Hindle doesn’t do it alone.

The ensemble is bright and talented; the leading lady, played by Meghan Gardiner, has a remarkable voice, and a live, 10-piece orchestra also brings the show to life.

If there’s a criticism, it’s on opening night, when some of the lines were lost, as the actors spoke so quickly.

Also, and surprisingly for a show that’s all about music, it lacks a grand finale. There is very much a message that shouldn’t be lost in the ending as it is. Yet, there still may have been a way to give the audience that crescendo.

Regardless, The Music Man is a good choice for the Gateway’s holiday classic. As a story about discord turned to harmony, intolerance turned to unity and betrayal turned to love, it well capsulates the spirit of the season.

Devils head into 2017 with B.C. title hopes Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

I

t took over two months of regular season action and a big effort from the defending provincial champs to finally solve the Richmond Devils.

South Fraser TNT scored in the late stages of the third period, then hung on to hand the Devils a 4-3 defeat on Saturday to close out the first half of the regular season in the South Coast Women’s Hockey League. The loss was Richmond’s first in 12 games (11-0-1) despite outshooting the hosts by a 39-25 margin.

The result did little to dampen the enthusiasm of Devils head coach Tony Cheema.

He has watched his team elevate its game to another level this season thanks to a deeper line-up that thrives playing an up-tempo transition game.

The Devils will take a five-point lead atop of the SCWHL standings when they head into 2017 and look poise to take a serious run at their first provincial championship in franchise history come March.

“Everything has changed. Big time,” said Cheema. “Just the whole mentality of the team. I feel we are even faster and playing smarter too. Things we have been trying to do the last few years, they are grasping it all of a sudden. It’s making things so much simpler.”

The Devils never trailed Saturday

until South Fraser’s Michelle Ziegler banged home a rebound with 4:38 remaining. A pair from Nicole Lim and Yvonne Mikulcik had staked Richmond to early leads before the rivals settled into over a 27-minute stretch with the score deadlocked at 3-3.

“Today was an odd one off for us,” admitted Cheema. “We knew we had to come in here and play an almost perfect game but we just weren’t all the way there. At last we got the (bullseye) off our backs. Now they know they can’t go into any game thinking they are going to win playing here or there (rather than 100 percent).”

The Devils’ roster features a whopping 15 players who graduated from the Richmond Ravens Girls Hockey Association. One of the few imports is Lindsay Dipietro and the Ottawa native has made an impact. She currently sits second in league scoring with 17 points.

“She has made a difference on and off the ice,” said Cheema of the former Wayne State University standout. “She is making passes that our girls see and are trying to do too. There is just also way more talk in the dressing room. It’s a big change. A great change.”

Cheema is looking forward to a challenging remaining schedule that will begin Jan. 7 with a key two-game series in Kamloops against the second place Vibe (7-1-3). The SCWHL is not only the top senior women’s league in

the province, it puts an emphasis on fitness with no intermissions or ice cleans. Maintaining the same tempo on slow ice in the third period can be the difference between winning and losing.

“Everyone in our league has got better and it’s even a faster game now,” added Cheema. “We practice fast and the girls are taking care of themselves. You can see it in the third period at just how hard

we are still coming at teams. The scoreboard doesn’t show it all the time but the shots and stats do.

“Nothing is going to be easy for us here on out but we are all really looking forward to it.”

Richmond City Baseball to field College Prep team next season

R

ichmond City Baseball will be part of Baseball B.C.’s U18 College Prep Division in 2017.

The ground work leading up to the successful application began with Richmond’s U18 AAA team enjoying a competitive 2016 campaign. The team finished with a 23-17 regular season record, then just failed to advance to the medal round at the provincials which took place in late July at Latrace Field. The program also fielded a Fall Ball team that competed in a year-end tournament with some of the best U18 teams in the province and came away as tournament champions in a well-played final against Ridge Meadows at

Latrace field.

“The College Prep program has been on the radar of Richmond City Baseball since it was discussed in 2015 and presented for its inaugural season this past year,” said RCBA president John Braaten. “RCBA spent the year planning and developing a vision for this high performance league prior to applying. I have the utmost confidence in our programming and membership to succeed at the highest level.”

RCBA’s U18 program is wrapping up its first phase of Winter Training with over 20 participants. After the holiday season, the second phase of Winter Training continues

which will lead into the team’s inaugural Spring Training trip to Mazatlán over spring break in March.

Head Coach Raul Verde Rios is already in the planning stages for scheduling training, games and cultural exchange.

“For RCBA, this presents an exciting new challenge and learning experience for our players. We want to provide the opportunity to stay in Richmond if they want to play at a higher level in preparation to possibly move on to college baseball.,” added Braaten. “With the commitment and vision of our membership and volunteers this has been made possible.

Richmond Girls Softball wraps up Fall Ball season

T

he Richmond Girls Softball Association recently wrapped up another successful Fall Ball season.

The fall program a little different than the spring because it is all about having fun. The non-competitive format allows the girls to meet others that they do not usually play with during the regular season. It also let’s them try different positions on the team.

The nine-week campaign featured sessions every Saturday at London Park. Eight RGSA teams participated — four at the U13 level and the other four ranging from U14 to U18.

The U13 teams were coached by Jessica Porter and Ayden Foort who still play at the U18 level and, Brooklyn Eusanio, Janessa Murao and Alex Lowe who play senior women’s ball.

For more information about the regular season, visit the RGSA website at www.rgsa.ca. Registration will start at the end of month The spring season runs from from late March until the end of June.
