Richmond celebrates Hockey Day by Don Fennell Sports Editor It was Hockey Day Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval, where thousands of fans shared their passion for the game at Richmond Celebrates Hockey Day ‘13. Among them was longtime Richmond Coun. Harold Steves. “It was great fun. It’s always fun playing hockey,” said the veteran councillor, who participated in his second celebrity ball hockey game featuring Hockey Hall of Famer and former Montreal Canadiens’ great
Guy Lafleur. Lafleur’s presence was a treat for many of those who visited the oval on the weekend, but particularly Steves. “He was one of my hockey heroes,” said Steves, who himself played hockey for the University of B.C. Thunderbirds in 1958. “It was before Vancouver had an NHL team and I supported the Montreal Canadiens. So having a chance to play on the same team as Lafleur was a real thrill.” Steves said Hockey Day is a “great” event and hopes it not only returns in future years, but that it expands even more. He’d like for Richmond to be

able to host Hockey Night in Canada’s Hockey Day, with which Richmond Celebrates coincides. “Hockey is part of our community and heritage and I think that’s why people enjoy this so much,” he said. “And when you get NHL stars playing with ordinary citizens like myself, and then they’re available to sign autographs afterwards, it’s a special thing.” City of Richmond spokesman Ted Townsend confirmed the event was “a huge success.” “Everybody I talked to at the event seemed to be having a good time, and certainly all our participants
seemed to really enjoy themselves,” he said. While many participants seem to want the event to continue, it’s still not a certainty, Townsend said. “It’s certainly been our goal to continue and grow this event, but we have to do an event review and report back to council about next year,” said Townsend. “And next year will be a bit of a challenge because the (Winter) Olympics will be on at the same time as Hockey Day is normally held. So we’ll have to look at that and determine if we shift the date or how we address that.”

Richmond’s population has now topped the 200,000 mark, according to city hall officials. It’s now estimated that 205,133 people call the Island City home—up from 199,141 a year ago. The figure, posted on the city’s website, was arrived at through projections by the City of Richmond and Urban Futures research firm. The current estimate is 8.5 per cent greater than the population five years ago, and 15.1 per cent greater than 10 years ago, according to the city’s numbers. Areas with the most growth are City Centre and Steveston. Statistics Canada’s 2011 census, however, pegged the local population at just 190,473. Richmond’s figures include the so-called census undercount—a percentage of the population missed by the census. Richmond ranks fourth in B.C. in population, behind Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby. The first census year that Richmond reached the 100,000 mark was 1986, when demographers counted 108,490 people. —Matthew Hoekstra

NDP would review but not freeze casino growth Dix won’t promise to halt gaming expansion
“We’ve now had two major setbacks where the lottery corporation was at odds with where the community was going.” – Adrian Dix
by Jeff Nagel Black Press BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix won’t pledge to block new casinos or expansions but says he expects the BC Lottery Corp. to rethink its current approach in the wake of last month’s defeat of a proposed casino in South Surrey. Asked Thursday if an NDP government would freeze further gambling expansion, Dix criticized the BC Liberal government’s “petulant” response to Surrey city council’s decision Jan. 19 to reject a gaming licence for the proposed South Surrey Entertainment Centre. “I don’t know if a freeze is what’s required,” Dix said at a stop in Surrey. “But clearly the lottery corporation, after their difficulties in both Vancouver and Surrey, has to reflect on the issue of casino expansion at this time.” A proposal to convert Vancouver’s Edgewater Casino into a giant casino at BC Place stadium was defeated by Vancouver council more than a year ago in another contentious battle between gambling opponents and supporters. “We’ve now had two major setbacks where the lottery corporation was at odds with where the
NDP leader Adrian Dix (left), with Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar.
community was going,” Dix said. “We clearly have to review what’s going on.” BCLC’s president Michael Graydon and gaming minister Rich Coleman both ruled out any other
Surrey casino location after the rejection but said they’d consider other nearby municipalities, including First Nations land, for a similar casino. The NDP launched B.C.’s casino
gambling expansion in the late 1990s, but it really took off when the Liberals took power in 2001 after running on a platform that promised to stop the expansion of gambling.
City’s financial plan subject of open house Plan calls for tax increase of three per cent, but doesn’t include any major new facilities by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
City is set to adopt its five-year financial plan, which calls for a 3 per cent property tax increase in 2013, and similar increases for the following four years.
Richmond City Hall will host a public open house next Tuesday on the proposed five-year financial plan that calls for a tax increase of three per cent. The Feb. 19 open house is from 1 to 5 p.m. in council chambers. A presentation from city staff is scheduled for 6 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session. The five-year financial plan comprises the city’s operating, capital and utilities budgets—all which council has already approved. Not included are big one-time expenses such as a new pool to replace Minoru Aquatic Centre, a replacement for Fire Hall No. 1 and a new seniors centre. According to a report from budgets manager Nashater Sanghera, major facilities have been left off the books “to allow further discussion and direction by council.” “Once the review is completed and further discussed with council, a report will be presented to council, and the five-year capital budget will be amended if necessary,” noted Sanghera. This year’s three per cent rise in property taxes this year is a similar increase dealt to taxpayers in each of the last five years. The financial plan is available on the city’s website, or at the city hall. Requests for digital copies can also be made at finance@richmond.ca. City council is scheduled to consider the plan for adoption at its Feb. 25 meeting at 7 p.m., when taxpayers will be able to offer comments directly to council. Comments can be made to the city by 5 p.m. Feb. 20 by writing city hall or e-mailing finance@richmond.ca. Under Community Charter rules, the city must adopt the five-year financial plan by May 15.
Back then, there were 2,400 slot machines province-wide. Now there are close to 12,000 – a fivefold increase over the last dozen years that has included the conversion of old-style bingo halls into “community gaming centres” with slot machines. Casinos now generate more than $1.5 billion a year for the provincial government. “There’s no question the overall dependence of government on lottery revenues has grown,” Dix said. In an interview last week, Coleman denied he did anything wrong in contacting Surrey councillors in between public-hearing sessions prior to the vote and said he wouldn’t do anything differently. “I don’t know how we could have done anything any differently,” he said, adding the province believed Surrey council wanted the site off Highway 99 near the Peace Arch border crossing. “They changed their mind and we move on. It’s pretty simple.”
Motorcyclist seriously injured in Sunday crash Police seeking witnesses Police are looking for witnesses to a Sunday night accident that left a male motorcyclist with serious head injuries. Around 6:45 p.m., Richmond Mounties were called to a crash scene on No. 2 Road and Colville, between Francis and Blundell. According to investigators, the motorcycle was seen heading south on No. 2 Road when the driver lost control of the vehicle, Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski said. The rider, in his 20s, was taken to Vancouver General Hospital with a serious head injury that required surgery. Nobody else was injured. Investigators believe that speed was likely a factor. Kowalski said investigators would like to speak to the driver of a white SUV that may have been making a turn at the time of the crash. Kowalski said the surgery for the motorcycle rider went well, but he remains in serious condition. Police have already interviewed a couple of witnesses, but would like to speak to anyone that saw what happened. Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call the Richmond RCMP’s traffic services section at 604-278-1212. —Martin van den Hemel

Reforms tighten rules for dangerously insane Prime Minister announces non-criminally responsible act by Jeff Nagel Black Press The Conservative federal government is pledging new justice reforms to indefinitely lock up highly dangerous mentally ill offenders who were found not responsible for their crimes. Prime Minister Stephen Harper made the announcement Friday in Burnaby and made reference to Darcie Clark, whose three children were killed five years ago in Merritt by her deranged exhusband Allan Schoenborn. The Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act tabled by the government tightens provisions for the release of offenders like Schoenborn. Courts will now be able to use a new category of high-risk mentally disordered accused. Instead of annual reviews by provincial review boards to determine if they’re fit to be released, a judge can order the offender be held for up to three years before a review. And offenders with that designation would not be released unless a judge agrees.
The courts will also be able to ban provincial review boards from issuing controversial unescorted day passes to designated offenders. Schoenborn, who is in a psychiatric hospital in Coquitlam, is slated for his next annual review Feb. 15. “These reforms cannot undo the terrible things that have been perpetrated on victims like Darcie Clark and her children,” Harper said. “Buy they will help her and other victims regain control of their lives.” The prime minister said Canadians have been shocked to learn some violent individuals in detention for their mental illness have been given unescorted day passes despite still being deemed a threat to public safety. “Something here is very wrong,” Harper said. “The safety of the public must be the paramount consideration.” Provincial review boards will now be able to better restrict the movements of offenders it does release, by ordering they not have contact with victims or other individuals, and by or-
dering them to stay away from certain places. A coalition of mental health groups urged Ottawa to carefully consider the need to promote the recovery of mentally disordered offenders while pursuing public safety aims. “These changes will unnecessarily heighten the public’s fears, increase negative stigma around mental illness and ultimately undermine the reintegration of [not criminally responsible offenders] without increasing public safety,” said Schizophrenia Society of Canada CEO Chris Summerville. He said offenders declare not criminally responsible account for just 0.001 per cent of all criminal charges and they have a far lower rate of recidivism— around five per cent—compared to more than 40 per cent for regular convicts serving federal time. SFU restorative justice expert Brenda Morrison said the legislation puts more focus on victims instead of offenders, but much will depend on how the government implements it.

Railway Avenue greenway gets cash boost by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A future paved trail on the Railway Avenue greenway is getting a $449,400 boost from the province. In December city council approved a 3.7-kilometre paved trail on an old rail bed used for decades by the interurban tram system.
Scheduled to be constructed this year, the $2.5-million project will connect Garry Street to Granville Avenue via a four-metre wide twoway asphalt trail. Additional cash from the province, announced last week, will expand the project’s scope. According to the city, new links to neighbourhoods along the path are now pos-
sible. The new funding also opens the possibility of extending the trail north to the Middle Arm dyke or south to Britannia Heritage Shipyard. The cash comes from the province’s BikeBC program, which is splitting $7.36 million for 21 projects in B.C. Parks planners aim to connect the
new trail with the city-owned Branscombe House at Steveston Highway and Railway Avenue—a city-owned heritage building that is marked for restoration. A public washroom is expected be built on the home’s exterior to accommodate trail users. Since the tram system ceased operation in 1958, the greenway has become an extension of many resi-
dents’ backyards, with 27 properties encroaching onto city land. Council has directed staff to order Railway Avenue property owners to remove structures encroaching on the greenway. The project won’t displace existing on-street bike lanes on Railway Avenue—lanes serving higher-speed cyclists seeking a direct route.

Shark fin ban proposal gets cold reception Debate of contentious issue reaches House of Commons; government says proposal flawed
A proposed law that would ban shark fin imports got a cold reception from Conservative government MPs this week in the House of Commons. It was the Family Day holiday in B.C. Monday, but it was business as usual in Ottawa, where federal politicians considered second reading of Bill C-380. After one hour of debate, the bill was moved to the March 22 agenda for further discussion, ahead of a vote tentatively set for March 27. “My bill seeks to address a conservation crisis that is happening in oceans around the world,� said Fin Donnelly in Ottawa. “Right now, we are witnessing the rapid decline of sharks due to the demand for their fins.� Donnelly, the NDP MP for New WestminsterCoquitlam and Port Moody, first proposed an import ban in 2011. But as a private member’s bill, a legislative change requires support of politicians from rival parties. Officials at Richmond City Hall are awaiting the bill’s outcome, as city staff are mulling the feasibility of a local shark fin ban—something other Metro Vancouver cities have already opted for. Donnelly said up to 73 million sharks are being killed each year—most for their fins alone—a practice threatening onethird of all shark species with extinction. In the House, the MP explained the “brutal� practice of shark finning, in which sharks are caught, fins are removed and bodies are dumped back into the ocean. “It is left to die a slow and painful death as it sinks helplessly to the bottom of the ocean,� he said. “This is not only unethical, but it is a terribly wasteful practice.�
“The fact is that there is no quick and easy way to verify whether imported shark fins came from a sustainable or humane shark fishery. In fact, most do not.� – Fin Donnelly do not.� But the Conservative government is “unable to support the bill,� MP Pierre Lemieux said this week. “However, it will continue to support responsible, legal shark harvesters and will crack down on those who break the rules,� said Lemieux, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture. His Conservative colleague, MP Randy Kamp, said the practice of shark finning is “deplorable,� but the proposed bill isn’t the way to deal with it. Noting the practice of finning has been banned in Canada since 1994, Kamp said the government believes that working through regional fisheries management organizations to ensure strong management and enforcement practices around the world is the best way to stop “unsustainable shark fishing practices, such
as finning.� “A complete trade ban would penalize responsible legitimate fishing practices without addressing overfishing practices or improving global fisheries management. We will continue to support responsible, legal
shark harvesters and crack down on those who break the rules.� The Richmond Review has asked Richmond MP Alice Wong and Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry Lynne-Findlay for comment on the bill, but both have so far declined.

Canada imports an average of 100 tonnes of shark fins each year. Some consumers of shark fin soup believe only fins from properly regulated and wellmanaged fisheries are allowed into Canada, but Donnelly said that’s not the case. “The fact is that there is no quick and easy way to verify whether imported shark fins came from a sustainable or humane shark fishery. In fact, most

as an independent in Delta South in 2009. Bob Simpson was kicked out of the NDP caucus shortly after winning re-election for the party in Cariboo North, because he dared to criticize then-leader Carole James for a lack of policy specifics. They were belatedly joined by Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals in an orchestrated move to the B.C. Conservatives, and then quit that party soon after. Van Dongen does not have the credibility of the others to speak on integrity, given his self-serving party antics and his questionable decision to hire his fiancée and pay her one and a half salaries to serve as his constituency assistant. Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give backbench MLAs a meaningful role in policy-making. Simpson gave the example of Prince George
MLA Shirley Bond’s term as education minister, where she had to reverse ministry policies that didn’t make sense in rural school districts. The all-party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets. The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. There are unknown costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Marijuana Party be subject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough organization to stage a leadership contest? The independents had high hopes for one fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual
budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested financial statements and initial results for the current forecast. Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The independents suggest that this brief threeweek legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minister and house leader, if he would consider it. He allowed that it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the preelection session. That will be dominated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

parties and then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over. Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collection of election promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime if the incumbent party is defeated. A cat joined the B.C. Liberal Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new memberships. As parties go to online voting, multiple PIN numbers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address. These and other glaring problems with our partybased political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms proposed by three independent MLAs.

T
he tourism value of our central park, the Garden City lands, is immense. And it can help, not hinder, the park’s basic values for agriculture, conservation and recreation.
The park should soon be a prime tourist destination, a hub for Richmond tourism. However, the City of Richmond may squelch that value. The big threat is the Walmart mall proposal that City staff brought to council. It does more than wipe out natural areas that were protected. It also devastates the viewscapes from the Garden City lands and nearby parts of the City Centre. The effect on the tourism value of our central park is stark. The loss of must-see natural viewscapes would shatter the Garden City Lands’ most striking appeal.
A reminder: While other cities have large central parks, they rarely have natural views like ours, almost unbroken from the inland park as far as the eye can see. With a little restoration, our natural viewscapes may be unique—once in a world. Looking north across Alderbridge Way, even when the mountains are shrouded, the view of urban forest is pleasant. To gaze at stores in place of woods along that lengthy block would be unpleasant, and the Walmart sign would be repulsive. Tourists won’t come for that, and we need a better way of thinking. There is one in the story of High Line, the last remnant of an old freight line. Its trains ran on a viaduct almost thirty feet above southwest Manhattan. The City of New York saw High Line as an impediment to progress, as happened with the Garden City lands. Like the sphagnum peat of the lands, which was to be torn up, the line was to be torn down. Then citizens looked at the hardy weeds that had found a home on the sturdy old structure above the concrete city and saw a living green place to conserve and enjoy. Community action kicked in. High Line became a park. I went there last
Jim Wright draws on High Line, a park in New York City, as a way of thinking about tourism and Richmond’s central park.
August. High Line is a mile long. I strolled from end to end and back and was pleased it had kept its character. I empathized too. Like the Garden City lands it had been disparaged until people paused to think. The pioneer weeds seem at ease with their cultivated kin in their High Line home. Life has changed, though: they’re botanical stars now. The High Line is close to forty feet wide, on average, but the walkways are far narrower. In spite of crowding on the summer day, the mood was happy. Last year, High Line had 3.7 million visitors. Half were tourists, and half of
us tourists were from other countries. Close to a million foreign tourists! Some New Yorkers think there’s even too much High Line tourism. No doubt, similar concern will come up here, but the needed all-weather trails in our central park could handle High Line numbers, which are not looming. Like our Garden City lands, the Manhattan park was basically for local people, and the tourism value grew because each aspect is done well. For instance, High Line itself became a work of art, and it makes the most of the views from it. In the decade-old project plan, I found a secret to
success. The Friends of the High Line believed the possibilities were boundless, and politicians at all levels bought in. Friends of Garden City typically feel that way about the Garden City lands too, and we hope our politicians at least see the possibilities worth saving now. If not, our natural jewel will become, in effect, the Walmart City Lands. The immense tourism value of that central park will be largely lost, with much more, and we’ll have nothing worth seeing to show for it.

A New Year’s sight at city hall Editor: For the first time, an eight foot tall mandarin orange tree is being displayed in Richmond City Hall this year for the Chinese New Year celebration. In the Chinese language, the pronunciation of “mandarin orange” is very similar to “fortune and luck” and the golden colour of the fruit symbolizes positive energy and prosperity. It is a tradition for Chinese families to display a mandarin orange tree, among other flowers, at home during the lunar new year celebrations. It is very much like the tradition of putting up a Christmas tree during Christmas time in Western culture. Thanks to the generosity of Garden in Garden Nursery, you will find the mandarin orange tree in the galleria at city hall over the next two weeks. Come and take a look at the tree. You may also make a wish for your family and loved ones. Richmond is undoubtedly blessed by the richness of cultural diversity in our community. Chak Au Richmond City Councillor

letters No free pass to procrastinate on issues of the environment Editor: Re: “Finn Road protester sued for farm blockade,” Feb. 8. I am saddened that a farmer would use toxic materials on farmland and further saddened that he is now seeking legal compensation in a matter where the safety of the public clearly overrides his immediate needs. While the matter may have become somewhat personal, at the end of the day, burying concrete and asphalt on farmland endangers us all because carcinogenic materials will leach into the soil and then into our food chain. I encourage Mr. Jones to take a step back and reflect on what he is doing. I also encourage Mr. Galawan and his supporters to withdraw for a week and let cooler heads prevail. This issue would never have become front page news if our city hall had taken the initiative when the first complaint was tabled. If our bylaws are so weak that we cannot act immediately on information that toxic materials are being placed in our soil then city hall needs to hold an emergency session and strengthen our bylaws.
I recall a number of years ago when Gordon Campbell was the Mayor of Vancouver. He was apparently doodling down the fast lane when an SUV equipped for all-terrain driving, came up behind him and gave him the full glare of six spotlights mounted on the cab. Next day, Mayor Campbell tabled emergency bylaw legislation that such lights were to be disconnected in Vancouver. That bylaw was implemented in double-quick time. It is commendable that our city hall councillors are taking a handson approach in such matters as shark fin soup, gas pipelines running through our city, and tankers on the Fraser River. Taking a public stance on the big issues does not give them a free pass to procrastinate on critical neighbourhood issues involving soil, air, and noise pollution. Our local environment is being stressed in many areas and our city hall needs to be more responsive in addressing all our serious pollution issues and placing asphalt in our soil is clearly a serious pollution issue.

The Gilmore Estates are up for sale for a cool $55 million.
Will the Gilmore Estates remain a farm? Editor: Re: “Gilmore Estates on the block for $55 million,” Feb. 8. I see Harold Steves has been clear that this land will not be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. While many old time Richmond residents feels the same, attitudes are changing. Many of the usual councillors have said they will not run in the next civic election or that they will only stay for another term: the reason they often cite is our changing demographics. With a change in demographics comes a change in culture, a change in what is valued. The last time this large chunk of fertile farmland came before council to remove it from the ALR, it was declined. I fear this may not always hold true as we have a pro-development provincial government and an increasingly pro-development city council. To put houses, even mega-estate houses, on this rich farm land is akin making a Rolls Royce
into a junk man’s pickup truck. It is an outrageous and permanent waste of of something precious. One only has to watch the Wartime Farm on Knowledge Network to see what happened in 1939 England, a once-productive farming country, when 60 per cent of their diet that was imported was suddenly cut off. Food security can become an issue for us outside of wartime. If the U.S. ever closed its borders for even a little while due to terrorist threat, insect threat, or perceived self-interest we would be hooped, particularly during the winter. How much of our food is imported? We need to support our farmers so they can make a living wage as they work to feed us. We need to speak up in person to our elected officials at all levels. We need to use our votes wisely at election time. Lorraine Graves Richmond

a popular, albeit more formal, option for this time of year. Try finishing off your outfit with a fedora at night if you want a dressy, polished look. For even more glamour, you can accessorize with a wide-brim felt hat, as seen at the Saint Laurent show — designer Hedi Slimane topped off his rocker chic models with 70sinspired floppy hats in neutral tones. An alternate approach to picking hats other than trying the trends is to go with one that will suit your face shape. Much like a hairstyle or a pair of glasses, hats can also help in flattering and framing the face. For oval faces, you’re in luck! Just like haircuts, oval faces are suited to most types of hats. Try a beanie without too much excess fabric at the top so you don’t elongate the face. To complement longer faces, stick to big circular hats such as thick beanies and Russian fur hats. Oblong faces also work well with curved brims like ones found on newsboy caps, cloches and floppy hats. You

want to add width, not height, to your face. Another trick is to pull the hat forward to cover more of the forehead. For round faces, look for rigid, structured hats with angled brims and aren’t too circular at the crown. You want to add angles instead of roundness. Fedoras, newsboy and conductor caps are great for
rounder faces. If your face is more heartshaped, try slouchy beanies or berets to balance out and soften angles of the jawline and cheeks. Heartshaped faces are also best suited to hats with medium-sized brims such as cloches, as shorter ones tend to enlarge the forehead and longer brims will make small chins ap-
pear pointier. And for faces with square jawlines, opt for feminine hats with large brims and curved crowns, like trilbies, floppy hats and bowlers. To prevent hat hair, choose hats made from natural fabrics like cotton, wool and cashmere. They’re less likely to cause unruliness from sweating of the head. Also take
into consideration how snug the hat fits: tight beanies are more likely to cause hat hair while slouchy, loose berets are less likely to. Control flyaways and static with hairspray after wearing your hat. Spray some into your hand and run it over your hair for flyaways, and into the roots for a boost of volume. Those with short hair can also put in some volumizer before donning a cap. For longer haired ladies, you can pull your hair into a loose bun under a hat. Once it comes off, you’ll have waves since the hat insulates heat. Hats are an easy addition to change up an outfit. Just think of the different styles conveyed when a hat is worn with a simple jeans and tee look: glam with a fedora, androgynous with a newsboy cap, or even urban chic with a baseball cap as seen at DKNY. Play around with how the hat sits on your head, tilting it for different angles to find the right balance for your face. You can also individualize your hats with brooches, ribbons and studs. Like any accessory, hats can be an extension of your mood and style — have fun with them!

Throne speech Tuesday opens four-week legislature session
(9:30pm onwards)
by Tom Fletcher
LUNCH
Black Press Premier Christy Clark kicked off the pre-election legislature session Tuesday with a pledge to establish a new fund from natural gas exports to support social programs and pay down debt. The main purpose of the “British Columbia Prosperity Fund” will be to pay down debt, starting in 2017 when the first liquefied natural gas facilities begins to ship liquefied natural gas for export from the northern coast to Asian markets. It will be funded by a new tax on liquefied natural gas exports, as well as corporate taxes and natural gas revenues. The new fund is patterned after Alberta’s Heritage Fund, set up decades ago as a legacy for
Alberta’s oil and gas revenues. The B.C. fund would receive an estimated $100 billion from liquefied natural gas revenues over 30 years, based on an assumption of five gas production facilities exporting gas from the Kitimat-Prince Rupert region. The plan was presented in the throne speech delivered Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, to open a four-week legislature session leading up to the May 14 provincial election. The key task for the B.C. Liberal government in that session is to pass legislation returning the provincial sales tax to B.C. effective April 1, and the speech hinted at relieving that tax as one use for the new fund. “Whether it is eliminating the provincial sales tax, or making long-term investments in areas

like education or vital infrastructure that strengthen communities—these are the kinds of opportunities the B.C. Prosperity Fund can provide,” the speech says. The government estimates that if B.C.’s liquefied natural gas mega-project develops as expected, and all of the fund’s revenues are directed to debt reduction, B.C.’s $56 billion debt could be paid off within a decade. The province currently pays about $2.5 billion a year in interest on the debt. There has been a rush of international investment interest in northeastern B.C.’s shale gas deposits. Companies include Mitsubishi Corp., Shell Canada, China National Petroleum Corporation and Petronas, a transnational gas player owned by the government of Malaysia.

Oye relishes in remininscing Former Sockeye says hockey players love nothing more than swapping old stories by Don Fennell
After starting the game with his former team, the Richmond Sockeyes, Jordan Oye was traded to the Vancouver Canucks alumni for the third period so that Orland Kurtenbach could suit up for the Sockeyes in Saturday’s exhibition game between the Sockeyes and Canuck alumni during Richmond Celebrates Hockey Day at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Kurtenbach coached the Sockeyes to the Centennial Cup (Canadian Junior A championship) in 1987. Don Fennell photo
Sports Editor Jordan Oye’s perspective of Richmond Celebrates Hockey Day was, to say the least, unique. Like the thousands of others who flocked to the Richmond Olympic Oval for the city’s annual celebration of the game Saturday, the Richmond man enjoyed the various salutations to hockey—from a celebrity ball hockey game featuring hall of famer Guy Lafleur to a Pacific Junior Hockey League game featuring his old team, the Richmond Sockeyes. Oye, 26, even skated in one of the day’s games, an exhibition between the Sockeyes Alumni and the Vancouver Canucks Oldtimers. And in an odd twist, he was traded to the Canucks following the second period for Orland Kurtenbach, the original captain of the NHL Canucks in 1970 who later coached the Sockeyes to the Canadian Junior A championship in 1987. But by far his greatest memory of the day

“GINGER� NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!
“GINGER�, ID#290237, FEMALE, TEDDY BEAR HAMSTER CROSS, 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS Ginger only came to our centre not long ago and we have yet to learn more about her but so far, we know that she is a beautiful little girl who, like other hamsters, enjoys her beauty sleep in the day as much as playing at night. Hamsters like Ginger will need enough space to explore, and burrow in their bedding material. It’s very important that she has access to lots of toys and items to chew on at all times so she can keep her teeth at an appropriate length. If you’re looking for a fun pal who enjoys the night life then look no further and come down to the centre to meet Ginger!

undreds of people packed up blankets and headed to the beach last Sunday evening for 6 Pack Beach’s second annual Kids’ Movie Night on the Beach, presented in partnership with FreshAirCinema.
“It was good to see the families come out and the kids excited to be there,” said Barry Law, a co-owner of 6 Pack Beach. “Everyone who came was really exited and happy,” he said.

This free event, sponsored by Foodsters, Badminton Vancouver, ZLove Studio and West Coast Families, featured screenings of Lilo and Stitch and Toy Story 3. “Lilo and Stich was pretty popular several years ago and we figured we could bring it back and Toy Story 3 has always been a classic for children to enjoy,” Law said. Before the movies started kids had a chance to run around in the sand, play volleyball and soccer and build
sandcastles. “[It was great] seeing all of the kids happy and smiling,” Law said. “We just wanted to bring more exposure to families because a lot of people know us more as a sports facility,” he said. The indoor beach also hosts birthday parties, spring break camps and corporate team building events. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Review. She may be reached at amanda.oye@telus.net.
