Caribbean win at Nations Cup 14

Gateway Theatre hosts plays from Hong Kong 3 / City gets digging at Minoru 3

Commercial property owners now fetching princely sums as prices soar

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Several sizable chunks of commercial real es-tate along No. 3 Road in the city’s downtown core have recently been gobbled up by inves-tors or are about to be, The Richmond Review has learned.

Much of the land is designated for future residential use in the City of Richmond’s of-fi cial community plan, and prices have soared.

The property at 8111 Ackroyd Rd., the for-mer home of Chapters bookstore, has a “con-ditional contract for sale” with a price tag of about $68 million, according to sources. This property, known as Richport Town Centre Shopping Mall, was sold in 2009 by Colliers, when it had an assessed value of $32.3 mil-lion, according to Vancouver Real Estate Blog (vancommercial.ca).

What’s known as the Time Square property on No. 3 Road, a strip mall between Park and Cook roads, directly across the street from Richmond Centre shopping mall, sold for $20.2 million less than 18 months ago.

Another 4.9 acre assembly of three ad-dresses, at 7960 Alderbridge Way, 5333 and 5411 No. 3 Road—boasting 742 feet of un-obstructed frontage along No. 3 Road, at the southwest corner of Alderbridge—sold earlier this year for $69 million.

The Acura dealership has an accepted off er of $17 million, but that deal won’t close for a few months and this site is designated to re-main commercial, according to the city’s OCP.

And the home of The Richmond News, at 5731 No. 3 Rd., was sold by Glacier Media Group for $6 million in January. The buyer was a private investor (0986629 B.C. Ltd.) Another adjacent property is now on the market for $6.6 million.

Bal Atwal, a principal with Avison Young Commercial Real Estate Inc., has been in-volved in the commercial real estate industry for more than a decade, the last seven with Avison Young.

He sold the Alderbridge Way and No. 3 Road property, which includes 78,200 square feet of single-storey retail buildings, and is across the street from the Lansdowne Station of the Canada Line.

“The owners have seen the prices escalate to a point where they have hit new peaks and are starting to fl atten out,” Atwal said. “Owners are seeing this as a potential right time to sell.”

Also driving landowners to sell now is the knowledge that the next price escalation is “probably another fi ve to 10 years away,” he said.

With property taxes based on land value, which has increased about 40 per cent in the last fi ve years, Atwal said his clients see this as an opportunity to sell their land assets and place their equity elsewhere.

Atwal said he’s been involved in about 90 per cent of the major deals along No. 3 Road over the last three or four years.

While he’s involved in the Chapters property sale, he said he’s bound by a confi dentiality agreement and wouldn’t confi rm the selling price or the identity of the prospective owners.

While a signifi cant number of the buyers involved in the recent transactions along No. 3 Road are from overseas, he clarifi ed that foreign investors do not form the bulk of the buyers.

“A lot of the properties have been bought by local private investors,” he said.

Asked if any of his clients are on the verge of developing their newly acquired land, Atwal characterized the investors as being patient.

“Many are willing to hold the property at very low returns and wait for the next cycle to arrive,” he said.

Three productions from Hong Kong set for local stage

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Repoter

Three world-class theatre productions from Hong Kong will be presented at the fi rst-ever Gateway Pacifi c Theatre Festival Aug. 15 to 24.

At a press conference to launch the festival on Tuesday, producer Esther Ho said she and Gateway artistic director Jovanni Sy travelled throughout China earlier this year to scout potential shows.

“We searched for the best shows for our community,” she said.

For this year’s inaugural festival, three shows from Hong Kong will be featured.

The festival will present two plays in Canton-ese with English surtitles. A third is a non-ver-bal performance that mixes martial arts with clowning. All three plays will feature cast and crew from Hong Kong.

The plays are:•Tang Shu-wing Theatre Studio’s Detention is

a physical comedy for all ages, running Aug. 15 to 17. It’s non-verbal, so there’s no surtitles. Set during an after-school detention session, three boys compete for the aff ections of their classmate. It’s an example of classic Hong Kong humour that’s enjoyed three separate runs in Hong Kong. Audiences will witness acrobatics, clowning, martial arts and percus-sion from the cast. The play was a hit at the

Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012.•The Isle, running Aug. 20 to 22, tells the

story of one couple’s encounter on a remote island where their past and present overlap. They wrestle with the question of staying or leaving in a play described as “a compassion-ate yet skeptical take on enduring love.” It is written by Hong Kong playwright Paul Poon,

•The Fire of Desire runs Aug. 22 to 24. It is based on the classic 1900 play Reigen by Ar-thur Schnitzler (better known by its French title La Ronde), updating the setting to pres-ent-day Hong Kong. Five men and fi ve wom-en—all played by the same two actors—ex-plore their frustrations and perspectives on love, marriage and sex in 10 scenes, each tak-ing place in a room with a diff erent man and woman.

Ho has big ambitions for the festival. Next year’s shows will be in Mandarin with English surtitles and Gateway plans for the festival to run annually for 15 years.

“It’s really a celebration of Richmond’s diversity and the large number of Chinese speakers (here),” Sy said in an interview. “I’ve always loved international theatre and just being familiar with the theatre scene in Hong Kong, they do some outstanding work there, and it deserves to be seen in North America.”

Tickets to MainStage shows are $50 for adults and $25 for students; The Isle is $35 for adults and $20 for students. Call the Gateway Theatre Box Offi ce at 604-270-1812 or visit gatewaytheatre.com for tickets.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm was joined by coun-cillors, Richmond Aquatics Services Board chair Ian MacLeod, Minoru Seniors Society president Kathleen Holmes, and Richmond Sports Council chair Jim Lamond.

Multi-purpose facility to open in 2017; will house aquatic centre and older adults facility

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Construction of a $79.6 million combined aquat-ics and seniors facility began Monday with a cer-emonial ground-breaking ceremony.

But Ian MacLeod, chair of the Richmond Aquatics Services Board, thanked city staff and Richmond council for changing their plans for the site, opting to avoid closing the pool and instead relocate the placement of the facility.

“I think it would have been a disaster,” MacLeod said about the initially-planned closure.

Some 1,250 people use Minoru Pool’s facility ev-ery day, and forcing all those people to turn else-where for a couple of years during the construction period would have been unwise, he said.

“I thank council for having listened,” he said.The new facility is scheduled to open in 2017.To fi nance the project, one of several known as

the Minoru Civic Precinct projects, the city is using its own reserves and borrowing about $50 million to take advantage of low interest rates.

The Minoru Civic Precinct projects also includes a new City Centre Community Centre, which is currently under construction at Minoru Boulevard and Firbridge Way and is slated to open in 2015, as well as the new No. 1 Fire Hall, which will be built immediately west of the multi-purpose complex.

“Construction of a new aquatic and older adults centre are top priorities for our council,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said. “We need these new facilities to meet the existing and future needs of

our growing and evolving community. This new multi-purpose complex will become a focal point for our community as it delivers a mix of outstand-ing services for a diverse group of users.”

Construction begins on new Minoru complex Plenty of sales along No. 3 RoadFrom Page 1

While plenty of investors are interested in Richmond, the challenge to this point has been convincing land owners to sell.

He said the sale of the IHOP site, at the corner of No. 3 Road and Park, for $3.4 mil-lion in 2011, set a benchmark for price that broke previous price barriers which had been fl at for a few years.

Asked if the most recent sales will serve as a domino eff ect, Atwal said time will tell.

But landowners risk their sites becoming orphaned, a well known local example be-ing the southeast corner of No. 3 Road and Westminster High-way. That property now has limited development options because of all the completed construction that hems it in on both sides.

Other notable downtown Richmond sales by Atwal in-cluded 3411 and 3471 No. 3 Rd. for $8 million in May of 2012, 6700 No. 3 Rd. for $3.3 million in March of 2012, and 3711 No. 3 Rd. for $7.1 million earlier this year.

Details of horrific January 2013 shootings at banquet hall contained in court ruling

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

New details about the horrifi c Jan. 16, 2013 shoot-ing at the Riverside Banquet Hall, showing how two of the victims are lucky to be alive and how the shooter was asked to come to the party, emerged in the written judgement released this week by Rich-mond provincial court Judge Patrick Chen.

In the judgement, Sukhdeep Singh Sandhu was found not criminally responsible by reason of a men-tal disorder on seven criminal charges including at-tempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and three fi rearms-related charges.

According to the ruling, a crowd of more than 100 people were in attendance at the party on River Road, which was a celebration of the induction of a number of new members into the longshoremen’s union.

“This was an auspicious occasion and cause for cel-ebration as members generally have to work 10 to 12 years as casual labour before being allowed to enter the union,” Judge Chen wrote.

Sandhu was asked to be the designated driver for his cousin Davinder Sandhu, a longshoremen, who was attending the party, wanted to drink, and knew his cousin didn’t drink alcohol.

“The accused initially said he did not wish to go, but ultimately agreed to do his cousin the favour,” Chen wrote. “Prior to driving to his cousin’s house, the ac-cused put on a bullet-proof vest and loaded his gun, a Heckler and Koch 9mm semi-automatic handgun with serial numbers obliterated.”

As Sandhu’s fi rst victim was walking to the bar inside the banquet hall, east of No. 6 Road, he saw Sandhu coming towards him, but thought Sandhu would pass him by.

Instead, the unexpected happened.Sandhu drew his gun, pointed it at the victim’s head

and shot him from close range.The shot proved not to be fatal, but only by bare

centimetres.“The bullet entered the left side of (the victim’s)

nose, shattered his right cheekbone and exited through his right ear,” the ruling states.

Sandhu then stood over the victim, pointing the barrel at the right side of the victim’s head from about a foot away, and appeared to try to fi re three more shots.

But the gun misfi red or jammed, and the victim and a witness could hear it click at least three times. At this point, a witness tried to intervene by wrestling Sandhu to the ground and holding him around the

neck, while trying to take the gun away, only to fl ee when the accused threatened to shoot him.

The fi rst victim was struck with a second bullet as he tried to crawl for cover, the bullet entering his left side, tearing through his stomach and intestines, and exiting through the back of his right leg.

He was also struck a third time, this bullet striking his left thigh where it still remains today, as doctors “have determined that more damage would result by trying to remove it than by leaving it there.”

The witness who tried to intervene was also target-ed, a bullet slicing through both of his thighs.

Another bullet struck another victim, entering his neck right under his jaw bone, and fracturing two of his vertebrae, only to come to a rest while protruding out of the back of his neck.”

Another bullet struck another male victim in the left leg, but he appears to have made a full recovery, the judge noted.

Sandhu’s fi rst victim, who was most seriously in-jured, spent three weeks in hospital during which he was fed intravenously. He wasn’t able to eat solid foods for many months. He had a plate placed over his right cheek, held in place by four screws. Pieces were cut out of his large and small intestine.

A large scar stretching from his stomach to his waist remains as a reminder of the shooting, which also saw him lose some of his vision in his right eye.

But he has since returned to work, some 13 months after the shooting, where he is currently assigned light duties. He now works as a crane operator.

The man who was shot in the neck spent three days in hospital, and wore a neck brace for three months. Three pieces of shrapnel from the shooting remain lodged in his neck, he still can’t feel the left side of his throat, and he is plagued by a tingling sensation running from the left side of his head down to his left shoulder and chest. He continues to go to physio and massage therapies.

•See www.richmondreview.com for the full judgement on this case.

Martin van den Hemel photoPolice on the scene of the Jan. 16, 2013 shootings.

A predicted massive run of Fraser River sockeye has yet to show up in force, so no commercial salmon fi sh-ing has been approved so far.

Fishery managers with the Pacifi c Salmon Commission said Friday fewer sockeye are coming in so far than expect-ed, although that could change swiftly.

The commission’s Fraser River panel has not yet issued an estimate of the

run size and said planned openings for seine boat fi sheries have been pushed back to at least July 23.

The pre-season forecast—based on the fact this year’s return is the spawn of the unusually large 2010 run—pro-jected 23 million sockeye would likely come back to the Fraser this summer, and it might run as high as 72 million.

When the au-dited public accounts

confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election cam-paign.

Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fi scal plan.

“It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describ-ing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our popula-tion is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care ex-penditures to 2.7 per cent.”

As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had

become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agreements remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year.

Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce.

Education was the only other ministry to receive signifi cant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrol-ment decline. Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federa-tion about a cash-starved system for what it is.

But the biggest fabrica-tion of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus.

The public accounts confi rm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospi-tals, schools and other big infrastructure.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the diff er-ence between capital and operating expenditures.

“We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said.

“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most

far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefi ed natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the prov-ince’s $60-billion mortgage.

Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to

green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project esti-mated to cost $8 billion.

Along with the public accounts, the fi nance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, net-ted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus.

Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

B.C. back in black, deep in debt

If the Fraser River ever were to breach its dikes in a major flood, the re-

sult would be a catastrophe of historical proportions.

Up to 300,000 residents and $50 billion in development could be gravely impacted.

So concludes the Fraser Basin Council, as it puts together a coalition of local and senior gov-ernments and other interests all

focused on developing a strategy to protect the region from a devas-tating fl ood.

It’s a laudable and entirely neces-sary initiative, but one which begs the question: What took so long?

In 2007, the Fraser threatened to overwhelm the existing dikes in parts of the Fraser Valley, which were frantically raised in some spots.

Seven years later, authorities identify the need for a multi-

billion-dollar regional fl ood protection plan—one that would coordinate eff orts between com-munities so that the surging Fraser isn’t simply pushed from one vul-nerable spot to the next along its route.

Climate change and altered weather patterns didn’t begin seven years ago. Arbitrary grant applications for dike work and varied maintenance eff orts from one community to the next are

nothing new either.In the meantime little consensus

has been reached on dredging parts of the river, which still seems to be anathema to senior govern-ment agencies.

Make no mistake, a cohesive Fra-ser River fl ood protection strategy is vital.

It just best not take another seven years to expedite some actual action.

Editor:Long live Canada, the

True North Strong and Free.

This Friday, July 25, will mark the 200th anni-versary of the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, a battle that saved Canada, our home and native land.

This is the battle that gave us the country that we have today, the sov-ereignty that we so love and should never take for granted, and it was one of the bloodiest battles of the war and one of the deadliest battles ever fought on Canadian soil.

The British and Canadi-ans mustered a total of 3,500 and eight guns (in-cluding reinforcements) facing an American invasion force of 2,500 troops and nine guns. The Americans knew that this battle could make or break their campaign for supremacy. The British knew that if they lost this battle, Upper Canada would fall and maybe soon after, Lower Canada as well.

And so over the hal-lowed ground of Lundy’s Lane Cemetery they faced each other and on that day began the crucial events that set in motion the country that we call Canada. Twice before the Americans had tried to invade Canada and both times they had been soundly repelled back to their own country. The British even repel-ling them as far south as Washington and while attacking the city, burned the White House.

But while the British held Lundy’s Lane in strength, when they heard of the advancing Americans, they began to pull back their forces. But orders of a retreat were immediately counter-manded and the troops stayed where they were. And so began a battle that saw both sides ad-vancing and then falling back and when midnight came the battlefi eld was in disarray.

In the early hours of the next day, the Americans, numbering some 1,200 in strength, tried to take even more of the

battlefi eld, but found that the British numbered some 2200, men and so were forced to retreat to Fort Erie, having to abandon or destroy much equipment and supplies to make room for the wounded on any avail-able wagons.

In the end, the British had won the battle and retained the battlefi eld and although both sides would continue to fi ght for another six months, the balance of combat power on the Niagara Peninsula had swung from the Americans to the British and Canadians, and Upper and Lower Canada were still there.

It is to these soldiers and those who fought at the Battle of Chrysler’s Farm, the Battle of Queenston Heights and all the other battles of the war on both land and sea, that we owe our sovereignty and the birth of our country.

We also owe a debt of thanks to one such lady who felt that these soldiers should be memo-rialized and that lady was Ruth Redmond, a local teacher, who in the 1950s, began using her meager savings to purchase properties adjacent the battlefi eld, preserving heritage buildings and sites, to help preserve the memory of the brave Brit-ish and Canadians. She, like the soldiers in the bat-tle and the war in general, is in my view a Canadian above and beyond the call of loyalty.

The future of Canada was won and preserved this day by men of bravery, courage and the will to staunchly defend their country and sovereignty with their very lives. Therefore we must never forget their sacrifi ce to our country, And as well be ever vigilant to maintain and defend our sovereignty, both economic as well a geographic, where ever it may be under threat, from the arctic to the forty-ninth parallel and from the Atlantic to the pacifi c, to preserve this country that we all love.

China knows how to find usEditor:

Re: “Airport-based economy ‘ key to future,” July 18.One can appreciate that Mr. Au wants a photo op as

we head into the silly season of civic elections. How-ever, anyone with a passing knowledge of Richmond and its history knows that we already have an “airport-based economy.”

For decades, YVR has been one of the largest genera-tors of economic activity and jobs. Indeed, my family is here in Richmond thanks to an airline job servicing planes destined to and from Hong Kong in 1957.

To suggest we are not already an international trade and business hub is to ignore the constant roar of air-craft, the steady growth of immigration, the saturation of cheap import products, and the fl ow of literature arriving at my doorstep in Cantonese and Mandarin. It appears to me that China knows well how to fi nd us.

With the fl oodgates of immigration and trade al-ready well open, let’s hope that Mr. Au and council will focus their energy and travels on pursuits that improve the lives of those already here.

Burn survivors camp kicks off in Richmond

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

The Richmond Firefi ght-ers Society presented a $25,000 cheque to the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund last weekend, during the kick-off of the 2014 Young Burn Survivors Camp.

The Burn Fund hosts young burn survivors for a week-long camp every July at Camp La-tona on Gambier Island.

The kickoff to the camp was held at South Arm Community Centre on Sunday.

“Today was a fabu-lous day at South Arm Community Centre,” Jeremy Duncan, of the Richmond Fire Fighters Association IAFF Local 1286, said on Sunday.

Since 1994, more than 1,000 kids between six and 18 from across the province have partici-pated. While the camp is free for young burn survivors, the cost to the Burn Fund is about $2,900 for each camper.

But thanks to the support of donors and sponsors, the fund cov-ers the campers’ travel costs, as well as the cost of accommodation, co-ordinating and operat-ing the camp. Doctors, nurses, medical thera-pists, adult burn survi-vors and professional fi re fi ghters donate their time as counselors.

Campers and their counsellors participate in activities includ-ing swimming, hiking, kayaking, rafting and waterskiing.

Irish eyes are smiling in Richmond

by Don FennellSports Editor

Call it the luck of the Irish if you will, but it was indeed a glorious weekend for the Eire.

First, Northern Ireland golf pro Rory McIlroy scored the British Open in Liverpool, completing a wire-to-wire lead to capture the third leg of the career grand slam Sunday morning. Then to cap the day, at Richmond’s Hugh Boyd Park, major underdog Ire-land got a late goal from Tiarnan King to stun a crowd of more than 3,000 and defending champion India 1-0 to win the Geoff Penniston Nations Cup.

Prior to kickoff of the men’s Open Division fi nal, there was some chat-ter that perhaps the Irish might have already emptied the tank. After all, they’d just earned an exhaustive 1-0 decision over Canada to secure their place in the title match against India, which itself needed extra time to slip

past Croatia 2-1 in the other semifi nal.Additionally, Ireland had been re-

quired to go to penalties to advance from the group stage, defeating Ger-many 1-0.

But no one was able to measure the Irish’s resolve.

Backstopped by often-spectacular goalkeeping of Luke O’Shea, who won The Richmond Review Trophy as the tournament’s most outstand-ing player without allowing a goal against, and a never-say-die attitude, Ireland secured their second men’s Open Division in four years with their win over India. They did so in 2014 with a young team that was consid-ered by most pundits to be rebuild-ing.

“It’s pretty sweet,” admitted O’Shea, who defl ected much of the credit to his teammates.

“I felt like I played pretty well, not conceding a goal in fi ve games, but all the boys in front of me played well too and we had some key tackles every game—all of which could have gone either way. But we were able to get the W and fi nally win it all.”

A Richmond resident, the lanky six-foot-two O’Shea—who in 2012 helped to lift University of B.C. to Ca-nadian Inter-university men’s soccer

championship—said, like most peo-ple at Hugh Boyd Park Sunday, he an-ticipated the fi nal match was headed for at least extra time. But against con-stant pressure from India for much of the second half, he was able to hold the fort until King was able to convert a late break into the game’s only goal.

“It was defi nitely tough and a lot of

the boys were really tired for the fi nal,” O’Shea said. “A lot of the younger boys had to step up, and played such great tournaments.”

•In other men’s division play, Por-tugal needed extra time—and a late goal to avoid penalty kicks—to slip past Italy in the over-30 fi nal; India blanked Fiji 2-0 in the over-38 fi nal;

Fiji outscored Ireland 2-0 in the over-45 fi nal; and Scotland scored a 3-0 win over China in the over-52 fi nal.

Desmond Tachie of Africa won the A. Turner Sales Ltd. Trophy as the tour-nament’s top goal scorer, while the John Craven Award was presented to Stu Walters of Ireland as the most outstanding defender.

by Don FennellSports Editor

The last match Richmond Red Hot Selects played in the summer of 2012 they won, capping their youth soccer journey with a 2-1 victory over Kam-loops Blaze in the Provincial A Cup under-18 girls’ fi nal.

Two years later, six members of that team reunited to form the nucleus of Team Caribbean at the 35th annual Nations Cup in Richmond. And true to form they again emerged victori-ous, topping Team Italy 3-1 in the women’s fi nal Sunday afternoon at Hugh Boyd Park.

“It was so much fun playing with my old teammates again,” said Summer Clarke, whose breakaway speed was

instrumental in the Caribbean ending a title reign which had been shared between Ireland and Canada since the women’s division was introduced a decade ago.

Clarke, the 18-year-old Richmond resident who is widely regarded as one of the best sophomore players in college soccer at Louisiana State University, said playing in the Na-tions Cup, which featured some older, more experienced players, may have actually been more challenging than university soccer.

One of the six former Selects, Bren-da Murillo’s header—the fi rst of her soccer career—completed the scor-ing against Italy.

“Being able to play with everyone again was the best feeling ever. It’s indescribable,” said a smiling Murillo after the game.

Summer’s dad, Clive Clarke, coached the Caribbean side. He said as a for-mer player in the Nations Cup, it was his dream to see a women’s division created. To guide this team, many of

whom he coached in youth soccer, to victory was “awesome.”

“Our strategy was to play tight de-fensively and attack with our speed,” said Clive. “Alyssa Graeme—a deserv-ing recipient of tournament MVP honours—was sensational in the midfi eld and the goal she scored to open the scoring against India (which helped lift Caribbean into the fi nal) was fantastic.”

Graeme, who is anxious to resume her college career at Langara in Sep-tember, was surprised and honored by her selection as tournament MVP.

“It was unexpected to hear the compliments for my consistent play-ing, but I have high expectations for myself,” she said. “I thought I played well enough, but of course everyone thinks they can always play better.”

Graeme was equally modest in de-scribing her spectacular goal in a 2-1 win by Caribbean over India Sunday morning.

“I just found myself in the right place at the right time, when Brenda

(Murillo) happened to look up and see me. I just went for it (kicking a booming shot into the corner of the upper half of the net). It worked out,” she said.

Clive also praised the play of recent R.A. McMath Secondary School grad Emma Partridge, who helped to an-

chor the outside of a strong back line.In the midst of their celebration, the

former Red Hot Selects on the Carib-bean team experienced a particularly solemn moment dedicating their vic-tory to Ashley Chen. The former Se-lect passed away from a rare form of cancer in February.

X-Falcons extend reign at Dolphinby Don FennellSports Editor

As the sun set on the 29th annu-al Dolphin Basketball Classic Sun-day evening, a general consensus among the crowd was that—like a good wine—the tournament keeps getting better with age.

So, too, apparently do the X-Falcons.

For the second year in a row, and fourth time in the last fi ve years, the X-Falcons netted the men’s ti-tle at the popular Richmond four-on-four playground hoops event at Thompson Community Centre.

“It was tough sledding. We were only 2-2 after the round-robin, but we hung in there,” said Navi Sekhon, the architect of the 2014 edition of the X-Falcons.

Like their coach, the X-Falcons—who outscored a talented, but young University of Fraser Valley team 54-43 in the fi nal—demon-strated all the qualities of winners.

And that was the key to victory.Sekhon purposely assembled a

lineup that, in addition to featur-ing several “older” players, fea-tured individuals who have con-sistently proven to be winners and know what it takes to rise to the top.

Their MVP was Josh Whyte, the former University of B.C. star guard who, noted Sekhon, seemed to score a basket every time his team needed one. He was equally eff ective on the defensive side of the ball.

The X-Falcons tipped off tourna-ment play with a 71-54 win over Blacktop Rainmen Friday and then topped Wolfpack 59-39 Sat-urday morning before dropping two in a row—55-50 to the Steve Lee-led Runnin Rebels Saturday night and 68-61 to the University of Fraser Valley Sunday morning.

•Widely regarded as perhaps the best dunker in the world, Kevin Kemp won the slam dunk contest.

Don Fennell photoMVP Josh Whyte paced the X-Falcons to a solid 54-43 victory over University of Fraser Valley in the men’s fi nal of the 29th annual Dol-phin Basketball Classic Sunday at Richmond’s Thompson Commu-nity Centre.

Fourth win in five years for defending four-on-four playground hoop champions

But hheeeaalaltth has improved forr seeeizizzzeedd Rottweilers, whohavvee eeeaaacch lost between 10 andd 11555 ppoounds

by Jaacqquuueeeliinne Langennd Maarrttinnn vvan den Hemellackk PreessssA bbid too hhavve two Rottweilers released

rom dogggyy ddeeath row was denied by a Rich-mondd proovvvinnciial court judge, who ruled last weekk hee dddiddnn’tt have jurisdiction to hear thematteer.

City lawyer Kevin Westell argued beforeJudge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’thave the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing onApril 10 at Richmond provincial court.

Fearing for the welfare of their pets, afterlearning they hadn’t been walked in months and had ballooned in weight, owner NavNijjer and his mother Prabjot Nijjer soughtto have the court intervene and release the dogs prior to the court hearing.

But it wasn’t all bad news for the Nijjer family, who have seen a significant improve-ment in the health of their pets, Axel and Paris.

They appear to have lost between 10 and15 pounds each in the past couple of weeks, are being walked daily, and are out in the yard

for a few hours each day, according to lawyer Joe Peschisolido, whose firm has been hired fiby the family after the City of Richmond ap-plied to have the dogs destroyed.

The Richmond Review revealed two weeks ago that volunteers and staff at the RichmondffAnimal Protection Society were barred from walking the seized dogs, which have been labelled as dangerous by the city. A society policy had prohibited anyone from walkingdangerous dogs, which under normal circum-stances would have been seized for a maxi-mum of 21 days.

Since they were seized on Oct. 25, followinga minor biting incident involving a construc-tion worker who suff ered a dime-sized contu-ffffsion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.

The extra exercise, along with a chaanggee ttootheir diet, has resulted in a notable upptticckk iinntheir health, Peschisolido said.

The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl bbee rree--turned and have built an enclosure thheeyy ssaayy ensures that the dogs never escape aggainn.

The enclosure was inspected by animmaal bbbee-haviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledgeer, wwwhhonoted there are now three fences—eaacchh ““aatleast fi ve feet tall, robust and well-conssttruucctt-fied”—between the Nijjer’s yard and thee adddjaa-cent Henry Anderson Elementary Schooool.

“These fences prevent school childrenn ffrroommmlooking into your yard to see the dogs,, aannnddalso prevent the dogs from seeing out or ccoommm--ing within 20 feet of the property line,” LLeddggeerr wrote.

Midsummer Art’s Dream at Thompson Community Centre

Wonderful works of 2D art were

on display for the opening night of the third annual Mid-summer Art’s Dream exhibition, put on by the Community Arts Council of Richmond at Thompson Com-munity Centre last Friday.

“The level of art seems to be even higher than last year,” said Natasha Lozovsky-Burns, the presi-dent of the Community Arts Council of Richmond.

Over 100 guests walked around and enjoyed 70

pieces of 2D artwork from approximately 50 different artists on open-ing night of the three-day exhibit.

“Everyone [was] very happy,” Lozovsky-Burns said. “We have received very positive feedback.”

Opening night featured beverages, cake, live music by a string trio and door prizes.

“This will definitely (con-tinue to) be an annual thing,” Lozovsky-Burns said. “I can see this get-ting bigger and bigger.”

Throughout the three days the exhibit was open to the public, every-

one had the opportunity to vote for their favourite painting and their favou-rite photograph.

By Sunday, artist William Watt received the most votes in the painting category, while Joci Sirak received the most votes in the photography cat-egory.

Each won $350. Much of the artwork

on display was available to be purchased directly from the artists.
