Bankrolled by gaming revenue, Council Community Initiatives fund is not a ‘slush fund,’ says councillor

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

River Rock Casino Resort has become the most prof-itable casino in B.C., leaving the City of Richmond with a problem other municipalities only dream about.

Policy-makers debated Monday what to do with the millions of dollars pouring into city coffers each year—a reward for having a casino in their jurisdiction.

City council decided to largely stay the course by saving most for capital proj-ects, but not before giving itself a bonus bank account.

Since the casino opened a decade ago, the city has fun-nelled much of its millions into capital reserve accounts, and to pay down debt from building the Richmond Olym-pic Oval, and now the Minoru Complex.

But high-stakes gam-blers have pushed gaming revenues to new heights. Richmond’s casino earn-ings totalled $21 million last year—nearly double earnings of five years ago—and there’s no sign it’s slowing down. B.C. Lottery Corporation predicts

continued growth in gaming revenue, fuelled by high-limit table games, in the next three years, according to its recent-ly-released service plan.

Richmond’s new spending plan endorsed unanimously by council this week strays little from the current prac-tice of squirrelling away most for capital projects, along with paying down debt and funding four RCMP officers. Council also agreed to de-posit $12 million of casino surplus into its capital re-serves account. What’s new is the so-called Council Com-munity Initiatives account.

With an initial investment of $3 million, the account would also receive two per cent of casino revenue an-nually, an amount estimated at $400,000 in 2016.

Resolution asks federal government to ban port from buying farmlandby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Richmond city council is asking for help in its fight to quash Port Metro Vancouver’s quest for farmland.

Civic politicians endorsed a resolu-tion Monday they hope will earn the backing of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association, the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

The resolution requests the federal gov-

ernment to cancel the transfer of 92.8 hectares of East Richmond farmland—the former Gilmore Farm—to the port’s Richmond property. It also asks to ban the port from buying more farmland, and to set up a formal dispute resolution process between municipalities and the port.

Amarjeet Rattan, director of intergov-ernmental relations for the city, said the resolution sends “a very clear signal” to federal officials that these are “serious concerns” for Richmond.

Council ordered the resolution after blasting the port’s long-term plan, call-ing the federal body “a pending threat” to farmland.

That plan, staff found, offers no as-surances that farmland would be pro-tected from port expansion.

The port already controls a large area of East Richmond, and city hall has no power to stop its expansion.

“A concern exists that Port Metro Van-couver has not stated where in the Met-ro Vancouver region it will expand its holdings, if it will expand in Richmond and that it will not expand on agricul-tural land,” noted Rattan in his report this week. “All indications are that Port Metro Vancouver will continue to pur-chase more agricultural land in the city and throughout the Metro Vancouver region for their future expansion.”

Port officials say the plan, finalized last fall, responds to growth in Canada’s trade while protecting the environment and “contributing positively” to First Na-tions and local communities.

City seeks to enlist others in port fight

Ideas shared at city’s first workshop addressing thorny issue of Chinese-language-only signs


One of the final speakers at Rich-mond’s first public workshop on foreign language signs summed up views at his table—and much of the room.

“Despite our disparate differences, we do genuinely want to find solu-tions. We have an interest in doing that collectively here,” said Robert Lum, one of 100 participants who gathered at John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse on River Road Thursday night.

Drawing a varied crowd, the cof-fee-fuelled workshop was ordered by city council last fall after it opted for consultation on Chinese-only signs before deciding whether to regulate language and possibly face a court challenge.

Moderator Joanna Ashworth said the workshop wouldn’t result in de-cisions or conclusions, but would “begin a conversation,” albeit “a difficult conversation with a lot of emotions.”

Some suggested a bylaw requir-ing English is needed, while others said foreign-language-only signs are a symptom of a larger problem. Some felt underlying racism in Rich-mond needed to be acknowledged, yet others said a simple inability to communicate is the real issue.

Henry Beh, executive director of the Richmond Chinese Community Society, said he favours education.

“It takes time to educate, but I know it works. We have to respect all our newcomers and welcome them,” he said. “They will have to learn our language, our culture as well, in ex-change.”

Richmond’s single largest ethnic group—with 91,000 residents—is

Chinese, according to the 2011 National Household Survey. The second largest of Richmond’s 161 ethnicities, at 15,100 residents, is English.

The crowd also heard nine of 10 residents can communicate in Eng-lish.

Richmond City Hall doesn’t regu-late language on signs of business-es, development sites or advertise-ments, but does require a permit for outdoor signs.

In recent months city staff visited over 600 City Centre businesses and found just 10 had signs with-out English, according to Cecilia Achiam, a city manager responsible for the sign file.

“In talking to people face-to-face we’re reminding people we’re an inclusive community, you need a sign permit to do business, and by the way, if you don’t have signage in English you are losing at least 50 per cent of potential customers,” she said.

Some shops, however, include English on a primary sign but have a storefront covered with other ma-terial—flyers, banners, sale promo-tions— lacking English. Surrey tack-led the issue of such “visual clutter” with a bylaw that, while not regulat-ing language, limits all signs to 25 per cent of a building’s face.

University of B.C. geography professor Dan Hiebert suggested Richmond’s collection of Chinese-language signs is linked to Canada’s immigration program. Of the city’s 117,000 immigrants, many arrived in Richmond under the business class program.

“You have a lot of people, more than 10 per cent of the entire pop-ulation of Richmond, come here through that particular program…where people are required to start businesses, often very soon after they arrive in Canada. That also tells us the language of many entrepre-neurs in Richmond is Chinese.”

Richmond isn’t alone in grappling with the language issue, Hiebert noted. Communities with large Chinese immigrant populations are located around the world, and

each have commercial districts with Chinese-only signs.

Ashfield, Australia embarked on a path of social change by appointing a Chinese social worker to encour-age merchants to be inclusive. The city also offered free translation ser-vices and walking tours of business districts.

Another Australian suburb, Box Hill, organized community events and festivals, and started a cam-paign to de-clutter storefronts that included free graphic design consul-tation for merchants.

Richmond Hill, Ont., opted for a bylaw requiring at least 50 per cent of a sign’s text to be in English or

French. The city and its Markham neighbour also used zoning powers to encourage main street commerce and push shopping malls to the pe-riphery, said Hiebert.

“All three cases give us a sense that these municipal governments took this issue very seriously,” he said. “They put time, energy and money into the idea of social harmony.”

Richmond resident Kerry Starchuk has long called on the city to take action. The sign debate, she said, signals deeper issues that include a growing number of wealthy mi-grants displacing longtime resi-dents.

“I would like to see action because this is pretty serious,” she said. “We’re dismantling the community.”

Matthew Hoekstra photosSome participants at Richmond’s first workshop probing language on signs suggested a bylaw requiring English is needed, Others said for-eign-language signs are a symptom of a larger problem.

Fundraising awards luncheon set for Monday, May 4 at Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Sign forum stirs language debate

From Page 1Staff say the account is in-

tended for “one-time initia-tives,” specifically “environ-mental, heritage, arts and culture, safety and security and infrastructure projects recom-mended by council.”

But Coun. Chak Au called the fund “quite unfocused.” He in-stead proposed a social services stabilization fund—an endow-ment fund with a principal of $12 million to help local agen-cies “who encounter funding difficulties from time to time.”

But the idea failed to gain traction, as opponents noted the city’s grant program would get more money—an estimat-ed $600,000 more in 2016—as part of a new funding formula that gives the program 15 per cent of gaming revenue.

Coun. Derek Dang cautioned that once the city begins filling

funding gaps, it’ll be expected to keep that funding going, even if casino revenue dries up.

“This is a really nice problem to have,” said Dang of the city’s windfall. “We could do a lot of good. We could blow all of it all at once. But…once we start going down the path of stick-ing our nose into other govern-ments’ business, the next thing you know, we’ll be owning it.”

Coun. Carol Day called on staff to draft guidelines for the new council fund to ensure the money is used for community-driven projects. Council sup-ported that, but not her move to drop “council” from the ac-count’s name.

“I’m worried that the public will look at that as a slush fund for council, when in fact it is a com-munity initiative account,” she said. “I don’t think it should be a slush fund or an emergency fund,

I think it should be for community initiatives.”

The new account would be in addition to council’s annual con-tingency fund of $100,000.

Coun. Harold Steves warned casino money might not be avail-able in the future, given the Mus-queam Indian Band will gain title to the land the casino occupies in 25 years under a deal with the province.

“We are not guaranteed these funds in the future, and if we’re spending all the funds now then we’re in trouble in the future,” he said.

Council is expected to ratify the spending plan March 23.

River Rock Casino Resort is the biggest money-making gaming facility in the province. Burnaby’s Grand Villa Casino is the second most profitable ca-sino, but its earnings were just over half of River Rock’s total.

Lawrence Woo was introduced as the new federal candidate for the Liberal Party in the Richmond Centre riding on Friday, hours before a Richmond Cultural Cen-tre nomination meet-ing where he was ac-claimed.

A retired chartered ac-countant who lived in Richmond for 14 years and raised his children here, Woo currently lives in Vancouver, though his heart, family and friends remain in Richmond, he said.

“It is with great feeling that I have this chance to somehow come back to Richmond and repre-sent people in the Rich-mond Centre riding.”

Woo said he’s long been interested and in-volved with community work, and that’s afford-ed him the opportunity to connect with many people, to learn their aspirations, to hear their complaints, and just lis-ten to their thoughts on what can be done to im-prove the lives of people in our city, he said.

“I am concerned and I’m also worried about...where is our country going towards. The problems we are faced with, the difficulties we are faced with and the problems we are faced with today,” Woo said.

Woo said the Conser-vative government’s lack of leadership prompted him to step forward.

“The Tories are try-ing to divide us, cause all kinds of fragmenta-tion and try to scare us by using all these fear-mongering tactics. The Prime Minister of Canada coming out and criticizing someone for their wardrobe, and say-ing that it is offensive, to me, that is a really mind-boggling incident.”

Free lecture at city hall explores aboriginal art and art in public spaces


Bleary-eyed pas-sengers arriving at Vancouver Interna-tional Airport from the United States are greeted by the keeper of the sky.

Hetux, an impressive wood and aluminum sculpture of a thun-derbird in flight cre-ated by Connie Watts, has been a fixture at the airport since 2000. With a wingspan over six metres, the thun-derbird represents Watts’ grandmother and mentor Louise Watts, whose determi-nation, creativity and generosity set a path for the younger Watts to follow.

At a free lecture Thursday at Richmond City Hall, Connie Watts will speak on creat-ing artwork for public spaces and present an overview of her experiences working with aboriginal artists

across Canada.Watts’ talk is the first

in a series of three lectures as part of Richmond’s annual Lulu Series: Art in the City program.

Watts has exhibited across North America, including a solo ex-hibition in Winnipeg titled Re-Generation—a culmination of her work to date—and as part of Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation—a 2005 group show that travelled throughout the U.S.

Watts, a Port Alberni artist of Nuu-chah-

nulth, Gitxsan and Kwakwaka’wakw ancestry, recently co-curated the Richmond Art Gallery exhibition Interweavings, which showcased work from emerging First Na-tions artists and their mentors. At a panel discussion during the exhibition, Watts said she uses art to tell a story and to show a personality.

“Everything that we created was alive, and that is the philosophy that I create every-thing with,” she said.

Country music art-ists Shanna Lynn and

Damian Marshall will perform as Georgia Rain to open tomor-row’s evening.

The March 19 talk begins at 7 p.m. at Richmond City Hall council chambers. Admission is free; reserve seats at [email protected].

Upcoming: Norman Armour, artistic and executive director of Vancouver’s PuSh International Perform-ing Arts Festival, on April 23; and Johanna Hurme, a founding partner of the Winni-peg architecture firm 5468796, on May 14.

Raymond Chan helps Justin Trudeau


Former Richmond MP Raymond Chan sat quietly at the back of a meeting room at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel on Friday after-noon, smiling and nodding as Lawrence Woo was introduced as the new federal candidate for the riding who is set to challenge in-cumbent Alice Wong.

Chan retired from politics in 2008 after losing to Wong, but decided to take a behind-the-scene role in helping rebuild the Liberal Party following the 2011 federal election.

“He’s a very dedicated Canadian by choice,” Chan said of Woo. “With his background as a community

leader, who has spent most of his professional life supporting a so-cial charity to help integrate Cana-dians, that shows his commitment to serve the community.”

Chan said that Woo isn’t really a politician, and agreed that’s prob-ably a good thing. Woo, a retired chartered accountant, is the for-mer chair of the social services agency SUCCESS.

Rather than being a politician, Chan said Woo is a good person and intelligent man who has been involved in the local community for a long time.

“I decided to help the Liberal Party to rebuild after the 2011 election and I think I can contrib-ute more to the party and to the community and the country by helping (Justin Trudea) rebuild. That’s why I’m staying in the back-ground, and helping him build the

team across the country.”Asked what advice he’s offered

Woo and other new Liberal can-didates, Chan said: “I encourage them to be themselves, because most of them worry that they have not been in the political en-vironment. I”m a good example that you can be forthcoming and open, and at the same time be ac-countable to the electors, and the citizens will see through all of the haze and support you. You don’t need to be a ‘politician’ to be suc-cessful in politics.”

Chan said he’s particularly en-joyed his retirement life. He first came to Canada at the age of 17, and worked two or three jobs at a time as a young man.

“It was always go, go, go. For me to have that time for myself (in re-tirement), it’s a very very valuable experience in life.

From Page 5Woo took issue with

the Conservatives claim-ing the country’s econo-my is fine.

“I can tell you this is all incorrect...When you look just at the surface, you probably see things that seem to be OK. But this is just a mirage. If you dig deeper into the situation, you will know that things are not okay. Things are actually in re-ally bad shape.”

Since taking over the government in 2006, the Conservatives have run up “all kinds” of deficits, increasing the federal debt by $160 billion.

That debt needs to be repaid, he said.

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Vancouver, Woo has served as the chair of SUCCESS, one of the province’s largest social services agencies, and is a founding member and former chair of the SUC-CESS Foundation.

Woo started his ac-counting firm in 1983 and practiced in Van-couver until 2009, when he became vice presi-dent of a commercial real estate management company.

According to a press release from the Lib-erals, “With only one individual having fully completed the Liberal Party of Canada’s open nomination process, the Richmond Centre federal Liberals will be announc-ing the (acclamation) of Lawrence Woo as their candidate for the 2015 federal election.”

Conservative Alice Wong is the current MP for Richmond, which will be redrawn to be-

come Richmond Cen-tre in the next election. Wong won the riding

with 58.36 per cent of the vote in 2011. The Liberals last won the rid-

ing in 2006 in what was the last term for former MP Raymond Chan.

opinion

March has been a good month for the

B.C. NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that.

Opposition critics fired a shot amidships at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new Auditor General for Local Government.

This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership

campaign, and two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking.

The original idea was to expand the B.C. Audi-tor General’s office so it could check the financial performance of local gov-ernments too. Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes going up too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze.

Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny over that plan, protesting that their budgets are al-ready required to balance and are subject to annual audits.

But this will be “perfor-mance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just mak-ing sure the figures add up. It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services like police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey.

The “value for money” promise is on the rocks. The government appoint-ed a quasi-independent board (hello, BC Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Ba-sia Ruta, a veteran of the federal Auditor General office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local govern-ment audits in private practice.

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this of-fice has spent $5.2 million and produced only one audit out of a promised 18. Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed that there had been some rough water but there is smooth sailing ahead.

Then came a big leak, in the form of a “work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member.

It described chaos below

decks, with “shifting priori-ties and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.”

Worse, the review noted a human resources moni-tor had been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.”

“A peacekeeper,” as NDP leader John Hor-gan described the grim scene. “This is like we’re in Cyprus.”

Then it was confirmed that when the AGLG board tried to conduct a per-formance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive when protect-ing her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her own work targets.

Whatever goodwill had been restored with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with new

auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contrib-uted may well have been swept overboard.

Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the hori-zon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said. Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April. The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings.

Clark addressed the situ-ation in her last question period before the legis-lature’s spring break this week. She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on.

Auditor leak has B.C. Liberals bailing

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Over the weekend, there were numer-ous protests against

the federal government’s Bill C-51, which proposes a number of new measures to combat the prospects of terrorism.

The Conservative government has proposed giving additional powers to the RCMP and CSIS, the Canadian Security Intel-ligence Service. Many of those protesting say these new powers will strip privacy from many Canadian residents. They also argue that both the RCMP and CSIS do not have sufficient inde-pendent oversight.

The Liberals have already said they will support the bill, and make amendments if they are elected as the government in the election this fall. NDP MPs, on the other hand, are stalwart foes of the bill.

The very different reactions from the two opposition parties speak volumes about the perceptions of this bill. The Liberals are clearly banking on the broad support among Canadians for more counter-terrorism measures, in the wake of the attack on Parlia-ment Hill last fall and numerous homegrown terror plots.

The NDP, on the other hands, is

taking its traditional principled approach, in standing up for civil rights over enhanced anti-terrorism measures. The prin-cipled stance gets them plenty of positive mentions, but often does not translate into votes. Virtually

all polls show the NDP will finish third in the election, barring a last-minute shift by voters.

The need for enhanced anti-terror-ism measures is pretty clear. Howev-er, there should be more oversight of both CSIS and the RCMP, should

they be granted new powers. At the very least, there needs to be a Parliamentary committee with MPs from all sides taking an ongoing close look at just how these new powers are being used.

Editor:Racial harmony was the objective. Sign language

was the topic. The process was slick. Mayor and council, we were told, are deeply interested in what weighs on your heart provided you take no more than five seconds to share it, three words or less to say it and it can be written on a post-it note to be pinned to the big board. And lest you actually talk about what’s on your mind, here are the questions you must answer. Crowd control parading as dialogue! A sign of the times!

Eighty percent of the time the audience was talked to, most of which I could have happily done without. And yet, the evening had a bright spot—the last three minutes by the last presenter made it all worth it. It was the story of Markham,

Ontario, a town very similar to ours with the exact same problem – Asian dominance crowding out all others. Markham, according to the UBC professor who studied the issue, has resolved that problem through strong, pro-active civic leadership.

Markham uses all of its civic powers—licensing, by-laws, rezoning, education, negotiation, and it works. For example, they have prevented malls from being exclusive to one ethnic group on the premise that a community that shops together stays together. If our mayor and council wish Richmond to be a model of inclusiveness and racial harmony they should copy what has proven to be effective under very similar circumstances.

Nick LoenenRichmond

Editor:I recently attended

the workshop on the signage issue in Richmond.

Other cities in Canada, such as Richmond Hill and Markham, Ontario, dealt with the signage issue back in 1990 by implementing a bylaw that requires that signage be half English and/or French. Why did our city council not do the same?

I know that our council always throws the Charter of Rights and Freedoms up as a roadblock to dealing with this issue. Has the Charter impeded on the issue being dealt with in other parts of our country? We need to come up with a solution before issues escalate any further than they have to date.

The City of Richmond needs to have more town hall meetings and they need to start listening to the people of Richmond and we all need to start listening to each other. We need

to re-establish the sense of community in Richmond.

In my view, the signage problem is indicative of a much deeper problem in Richmond. The frustration of many

people in that room was palpable and it is up to our elected officials to make it better and take their collective heads out of the sand.

Editor:The off-shore undertakers have

done their work. The developer-hearse drivers are ready, willing, and eager to transport the body. The coffin holding the remains of the concept of the traditional Canadian neighbourhood has been fitted together. All that is left to do is pound in the final nails and have the realtor-pall-bearers escort it to the gravesite.

The epitaph will read: “Here lies

a way of life that was too easily surrendered. Absence of foresight, lack of concern for educated community planning, greed, and stupidity contributed to its demise. Those who believe in the teachings of enlightened and responsible development grieve its squandered potential and its passing.”

Spring is upon us and for many people this means the beginning of seasonal allergies (hayfever).

Hayfever is an inappropriate immune response by the body to essentially harmless substances.

Common symptoms include itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, wheezing and headaches. People often mistake these symptoms for a common cold. However, a cold will usually accompany these symptoms with a fever.

Standard but effective treatments include using specific herbal medicines, homeopathic medicines and glandular substances. This treatment plan will reduce the body’s inappropriate immune response thereby treating

allergies from the cause rather than treating just the symptoms unlike most over-the-counter medications. There are no side effects, dependencies, toxicities, drowsiness or rebound congestion associated with natural remedies.

Recent advances in the treatment of allergies include intravenous Vitamin ther-apy. This involves using large amounts of specific nutrients injected directly into the bloodstream. Once again the result is relieving the body’s inappropriate immune response and subsequently alleviating the symptoms for months at a time. This treatment is an option for those patients who do not like taking pills three or four

times a day for months.

Naturopathic services are covered through extended health plans.

Cocaine smuggler’s bid for lighter sentence denied

Court rejects Shminder Johal’s bid to reduce 18-year sentence


A Richmond man’s bid to have his 18-year prison sentence reduced was unanimously rejected by the Court of Appeal for British Columbia last Wednesday.

Shminder Singh Johal was convicted of conspiracy to import cocaine, importing cocaine, importing firearms and bribing a border services officer in con-nection with a conspiracy to import more than 200 kilograms of cocaine into Canada from the United States nearly eight years ago.

According to the ruling, Johal recruited two men to help him in his scheme to import the cocaine and firearms.

Johal was sentenced to 18 years in 2012, while one of the men he schemed with, Baljinder Singh Kan-dola—a Canada Border Services Officer—received a 15-year sentence for, among other things, accepting a bribe while employed as a border services officer. The third man, Richmond’s Herman Riar, who acted as the courier, pled guilty in provincial court to multiple charges and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Johal, who was 38 at the time of his sentencing in 2012, owned companies that imported car parts from the United States, and regularly crossed the border at the Pacific Highway Crossing, the court ruling states.

Johal got to know Kandola during those frequent trips, and the two gradually became friends and even-tually became co-conspirators in the cocaine smug-gling plan.

The plan involved Johal and Riar driving separate cars to Bothell, Washington, loading car parts into Johal’s car and cocaine into Riar’s. The trio took extra steps to ensure they weren’t discovered.

“Johal would in constant contact with Kandola on dedicated phones, supplied by Johal, equipped with special ‘puk lock’ security systems which make it ex-tremely difficult to retrieve the records in the phones. They would speak in Punjabi as a further security measure. Kandola would tell Johal when they could come through the border through his booth. Johal would go through first; Riar would follow. Kandola would pretend he did not know them, ask some ques-tions, and then wave them through.”

But unbeknownst to them, their operation had been under surveillance for four months.

The three men were eventually arrested on Oct. 25, 2007, after Johal and Riar entered Canada through Kandola’s booth.

“In the trunk of Riar’s car were 208 kilograms of coaine and three firearms. The cocaine was worth $5 million to $6 million if sold by the kilogram. Around $225,000 in cash was later found in Johal’s home.”

In his bid for a reduced sentence, Johal argued that his sentence “should be similar to sentences imposed on similar offenders for similar offences in similar cir-cumstances,” the court ruling said.

Johal argued his role was equal to that of Kandola, and that since Kandola received a 15-year sentence, his should be reduced down from 18 years.

And Johal referred to a fourth party, Vancouver’s Charles Lai, who in his sentencing in the U.S. District Court in Washington state, was described as the mas-termind behind the scheme, and received just a 13-year sentence.

But Chief Justice James Bauman, in dismissing the appeal, said the information from Lai’s sentencing hearing “cannot reasonably be expected to affect the result,” the court ruling said.

“The U.S Attorney’s off-hand description in Lai’s sen-tencing hearing of Johal as a ‘driver’ and ‘runner’ does not somehow displace (sentencing judge) Mr. Justice Romilly’s findings. Similiarly the sentence imposed on Lai by the U.S. District Court is not a helpful bench-mark in British Columbia. It is the product of a very different sentencing regime and it was based in part upon the plea agreement,” Bauman ruled.

Funding from Community Gaming Grant earmarked for Richmond Addiction Services Society

Local families affected by parental mental illness and addictions will receive more sup-port, thanks to a $100,000 community gam-ing grant from the province to Richmond Ad-diction Services Society.

“We are extremely pleased that Richmond Addiction Services Society and the Support-ing Families Affected by Parental Mental Ill-ness and Addictions community table have again received this incredibly important fund-ing,” executive director Richard Dubras said. “Without this funding and support, the Rich-mond community would lose very important services and support to really resilient chil-dren, youth, parents and their entire families.”

Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat said Rich-mond Addictions Services provides valuable support and resources to individuals and families in Richmond.

“Their approach includes involvement of the whole family in treatment, and integration of alternative therapies, such as yoga and medi-tation, to give those working through their ad-dictions the best chance of success,” Wat said.

Volunteers step up for skating tributeby Don FennellSports Editor

Volunteer.The standard dictionary

defines such a person as one who freely offers to

take part in an enterprise or undertake a task.

Typically altruistic, these individuals step forward simply to help make a dif-ference.

While the principal players in Saturday’s Con-naught Skating Club fun-draiser at Minoru Arenas for skating legend Karen Magnussen were the skaters themselves, the efforts of a talented team of volunteers played an equally essential though less discernible role.

There were the ticket takers. The spotlight oper-ators. The producers, and the costume makers. The music engineers, and the venue decorators. And that’s just a start.

They didn’t get a chance to take a bow, but they de-served to.

Predictably, Karen Mag-nussen Tribute: A Benefit Show was an emotional-ly-charged program. The brainchild of talented Connaught director of skating Keegan Mur-phy—ably assisted by a pair of ever-energetic co-producers in Eileen Murphy and Aundrea

Feltham—the evening was a fundraiser for the legendary Canadian fig-ure skater who was the world ladies’ champion in 1973. Tragically, the now 62-year-old Magnussen is in the fight of her life after her lungs were burnt from inhaling gas after she es-caped a North Shore rink following an ammonia leak. At the time she was doing what she loved most—coaching. Now, she is forced to endure an almost-constant struggle with rheumatoid arthritis and other serious, degen-erative health issues.

Connaught held the tribute, which featured some 100 club skaters demonstrating their im-mense talent in individual and group performances, in place of a traditional spring show held every second year. With the skilled efforts of the vol-unteers, many of them parents of the skaters, it proved to be the ultimate team effort.

•More photos on Page 16, and video at richmon-dreview.com.

Behind-the-scenes efforts assure Karen Magnussen benefit show is a major success

So close.That’s the heartbreak-

ing consolation for a pair of Richmond high school basketball teams after the dust settled in the an-nual provincial senior boys’ championships Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

The storybook finish the Richmond Christian Eagles seemed to be writ-ing ended prematurely Friday night, when the No. 1-ranked team lost in the semifinals to eventual champion Kelowna Chris-tian Knights 68-58. The Ea-gles settled for third overall by defeating Credo Chris-tian 70-54 in the third-place game Saturday morning.

The story was a paral-lel one to that of the R.A. McMath Wildcats are concerned. Entering the triple-A tournament as the fourth-ranked team, the Wildcats narrowly edged Dr. Charles Best Blue Dev-ils 73-70 in the opening game Wednesday but gained momentum from it and just missed reaching Saturday’s championship final. McMath lost Friday’s semifinal game—a thriller that went down to the buzzer—78-75 to Fleet-wood Park, which went on to win the tournament title.

McMath finished fourth overall, losing the bronze medal game 77-61 to Charles Hays on Saturday.

Richmond Christian, which was presented with the single-A tournament’s most sportsmanlike team award—an honour that is sadly often overlooked—placed two players on the first all-star team—guards Joacquin Arguelles and Sam Cabuay.

McMath’s Anthony Demch was joined by fel-low Richmondite Owent Vint of the Matthew McNair Marlins on the triple-A sec-ond all-star team. McNair dropped its final game of the tournament 80-68 to Wellington on Saturday.

H.J. Cambie Crusaders competed in the provincial double-A tournament last week, losing to Bodwell 70-46 Friday after defeat-ing Mt. Elizabeth 102-51 on Thursday.

The numbers tell an in-credible story.

In their five seasons as student athletes at Ot-tawa’s Carleton Univer-sity, the Scrubb brothers won five national bas-ketball championships. The fifth, all consecu-tive, was earned Sunday at Ryerson University where the No. 1-ranked Ravens defeated No. 3 Ottawa Gee-Gees 93-46

in the Canadian Inter-university men’s hoops final.

Earning his second Jack Donohue Trophy as tournament MVP, Philip—who was also

selected player of the game, paced the Ravens with 28 points. Thomas, who is the CIS defensive player of the year and

also a previous tourna-ment MVP, added 20 points in the win. Both brothers were selected tournament all-stars.

Scrubb brothers stand tall, againSiblings lead Carleton to national title

Philip (above) and Tom-my Scrubb won their fifth university men’s hoops title Sunday.

Spurred by support, Chan wins golf openerTwo Richmond golfers enjoyed

auspicious debuts at the 2015 Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour season opener last weekend at the University Golf Club.

Kathrine Chan won the girls’ 14-and-under division after firing

rounds of 75, 74, 76 (225) to win by 10 strokes. “Support from my mom and friends really helped me a lot for this 54 hole tournament,” said Chan at the end of the three days. “I feel very grateful to have my division title. This gave me a good experience and

it will help me a lot throughout my golf career.”

A final round of 70 pushed Zaahi-dali (Ziggy) Nathu, 17, of Richmond to victory in the boys’ 17-19 division (78, 74, 70=222) with a five stroke winning margin.

Councillors Chak Au, Derek Dang and Bill McNulty have the first meals served at Pepper Lunch Canada with Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Bill McNulty and Derek Dang pose with Pepper Lunch founder Kunio Ichinose (centre).

by Katie LawrenceAround Town

Japanese restaurant Pepper Lunch has made its way to Canada, opening its first

North American location right here in Richmond.

On the menu are items like Japanese-style steak, salmon, chick-en, and seafood, certified Angus beef, pepper rice, pasta and curry rice.

Founded in 1994 by Kunio Ichinose, Pepper Lunch has grown into an international restaurant chain, with 350 locations spanning 13 countries.

Pepper Lunch Canada owner Christopher Sy was excited about opening the first Canadian location at 150-5951 No. 3 Rd. and sharing the Pepper Lunch brand with the Lower Mainland.

“What’s good about Richmond is there is a lot of cross-culture in terms of food, people, and it’s a nice place to start a new chain,” he said. “I would like to invite people from Richmond

and all over Vancouver to come try the first Pepper Lunch in Canada. I think you will enjoy your food.”

What sets Pepper Lunch apart from other restaurants is the way they have improved on the hot plate meal.

“Although DIY (do-it-yourself ) cooking is nothing new, the Pepper Lunch brand specializes in creating sizzle plates that hit hungry mouths with big flavours, finest quality cuts of meat, and unique sauces. People can literally see exactly what they are eating and decide how they want it cooked. It is definitely an amplified version of DIY steak,” said Denis Sy, general manager of Pepper Lunch Canada, in a press release.

The Sy brothers and the Pepper Lunch Canada team are already look-ing to open a second location, with downtown Vancouver and Burnaby as possible options.

Katie Lawrence covers the social scene. She may be reached at [email protected].
