Investors eye prizes in downtown Richmond Commercial property owners now fetching princely sums as prices soar by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Several sizable chunks of commercial real estate along No. 3 Road in the city’s downtown core have recently been gobbled up by investors 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 official community plan, and prices have soared. The property at 8111 Ackroyd Rd., the former home of Chapters bookstore, has a “conditional 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 million, 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 addresses, at 7960 Alderbridge Way, 5333 and 5411 No. 3 Road—boasting 742 feet of unobstructed frontage along No. 3 Road, at the southwest corner of Alderbridge—sold earlier this year for $69 million. The Acura dealership has an accepted offer of $17 million, but that deal won’t close for a few months and this site is designated to remain commercial, according to the city’s OCP.
“Owners are seeing this as a potential right time to sell.” — Bal Atwal
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 involved 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 flatten 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 five to 10 years away,” he said. With property taxes based on land value, which has increased about 40 per cent in the last five 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 confidentiality agreement and wouldn’t confirm the selling price or the identity of the prospective owners. While a significant number of the buyers involved in the recent transactions along No. 3 Road are from overseas, he clarified 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.

Bhreandáin Clugston photo (above) Esther Ho announces the line-up to the inaugural Gateway Pacific Theatre Festival. The festival features three plays from Hong Kong, including Detention (left).
Gateway to host international plays Three productions from Hong Kong set for local stage by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Repoter Three world-class theatre productions from Hong Kong will be presented at the first-ever Gateway Pacific 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 Cantonese with English surtitles. A third is a non-verbal 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 affections 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 percussion 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 compassionate 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 Arthur Schnitzler (better known by its French title La Ronde), updating the setting to present-day Hong Kong. Five men and five women—all played by the same two actors—explore their frustrations and perspectives on love, marriage and sex in 10 scenes, each taking place in a room with a different 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 Office at 604-270-1812 or visit gatewaytheatre.com for tickets. —with notes from Bhreandáin Clugston
Construction begins on new Minoru complex Multi-purpose facility to open in 2017; will house aquatic centre and older adults facility by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Construction of a $79.6 million combined aquatics and seniors facility began Monday with a ceremonial 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 every day, and forcing all those people to turn elsewhere 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 finance 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.
Martin van den Hemel photo Monday’s ground-breaking ceremony launched construction of the $79.6 million multi-purpose complex on the site of what was Richmond’s first artificial turf field. Richmond Mayor Malcolm was joined by councillors, Richmond Aquatics Services Board chair Ian MacLeod, Minoru Seniors Society president Kathleen Holmes, and Richmond Sports Council chair Jim Lamond.
“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 outstanding services for a diverse group of users.”
Plenty of sales along No. 3 Road From 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 million in 2011, set a benchmark for price that broke previous price barriers which had been flat for a few years. Asked if the most recent sales will serve as a domino effect, Atwal said time will tell. But landowners risk their sites becoming orphaned, a well known local example being the southeast corner of No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway. 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 included 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.

First shooting victim lucky to be alive Details of horrific January 2013 shootings at banquet hall contained in court ruling
Sockeye mega-run so far slow to show up A predicted massive run of Fraser River sockeye has yet to show up in force, so no commercial salmon fishing has been approved so far. Fishery managers with the Pacific Salmon Commission said Friday fewer sockeye are coming in so far than expected, 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 fisheries 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—projected 23 million sockeye would likely come back to the Fraser this summer, and it might run as high as 72 million. —Jeff Nagel
City Board
by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter New details about the horrific Jan. 16, 2013 shooting 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 Richmond provincial court Judge Patrick Chen. In the judgement, Sukhdeep Singh Sandhu was found not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder on seven criminal charges including attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and three firearms-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 celebration 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 accused 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 first 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 fire three more shots. But the gun misfired 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 flee when the accused threatened to shoot him. The first 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 targeted, 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 first victim, who was most seriously injured, 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.

f the Fraser River ever were to breach its dikes in a major flood, the result 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 governments and other interests all
focused on developing a strategy to protect the region from a devastating flood. It’s a laudable and entirely necessary 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 flood protection plan—one that would coordinate efforts between communities so that the surging Fraser isn’t simply pushed from one vulnerable 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 efforts 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 government agencies. Make no mistake, a cohesive Fraser River flood protection strategy is vital. It just best not take another seven years to expedite some actual action. —Black Press

hen the audited 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 campaign. 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 fiscal 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 thenleader Adrian Dix, describing 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 population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures 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 significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment 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’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is.
But the biggest fabrication 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 confirm 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, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure. Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference 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 liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’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 estimated to cost $8 billion. Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted 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.

letters Remembering the Battle of Lundy’s Lane Editor: Long live Canada, the True North Strong and Free. This Friday, July 25, will mark the 200th anniversary 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 sovereignty 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 Canadians mustered a total of 3,500 and eight guns (including 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 hallowed 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 repelling 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 countermanded and the troops stayed where they were. And so began a battle that saw both sides advancing and then falling back and when midnight came the battlefield 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
battlefield, 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 available wagons. In the end, the British had won the battle and retained the battlefield and although both sides would continue to fight 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 memorialized and that lady was Ruth Redmond, a local teacher, who in the 1950s, began using her meager savings to purchase properties adjacent the battlefield, preserving heritage buildings and sites, to help preserve the memory of the brave British and Canadians. She, like the soldiers in the battle 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 sacrifice 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 pacific, to preserve this country that we all love.

China knows how to find us Editor: 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. However, anyone with a passing knowledge of Richmond and its history knows that we already have an “airportbased economy.� For decades, YVR has been one of the largest generators 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 aircraft, the steady growth of immigration, the saturation of cheap import products, and the flow of literature arriving at my doorstep in Cantonese and Mandarin. It appears to me that China knows well how to find us. With the floodgates of immigration and trade already 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.

The Richmond Firefighters Society presented a $25,000 cheque to the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund last weekend, during the kickoff of the 2014 Young Burn Survivors Camp. The Burn Fund hosts young burn survivors for a week-long camp every July at Camp Latona on Gambier Island. The kickoff to the camp was held at South Arm Community Centre on Sunday. “Today was a fabulous 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 participated. 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 covers the campers’ travel costs, as well as the cost of accommodation, coordinating and operating the camp. Doctors, nurses, medical therapists, adult burn survivors and professional fire fighters donate their time as counselors. Campers and their counsellors participate in activities including swimming, hiking, kayaking, rafting and waterskiing. For more information about the burn fund, visit burnfund.org

Irish eyes are smiling in Richmond Luke O’Shea’s tournament clean sheet earns him nod as MVP at Nations Cup by Don Fennell Sports 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 Ireland 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 final, there was some chatter 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 semifinal. Additionally, Ireland had been required to go to penalties to advance from the group stage, defeating Germany 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 outstanding 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 considered by most pundits to be rebuilding. “It’s pretty sweet,” admitted O’Shea, who deflected much of the credit to his teammates. “I felt like I played pretty well, not conceding a goal in five 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 finally win it all.” A Richmond resident, the lanky six-foot-two O’Shea—who in 2012 helped to lift University of B.C. to Canadian Inter-university men’s soccer

championship—said, like most people at Hugh Boyd Park Sunday, he anticipated the final match was headed for at least extra time. But against constant 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 definitely tough and a lot of
the boys were really tired for the final,” O’Shea said. “A lot of the younger boys had to step up, and played such great tournaments.” •In other men’s division play, Portugal needed extra time—and a late goal to avoid penalty kicks—to slip past Italy in the over-30 final; India blanked Fiji 2-0 in the over-38 final;
Fiji outscored Ireland 2-0 in the over45 final; and Scotland scored a 3-0 win over China in the over-52 final. Desmond Tachie of Africa won the A. Turner Sales Ltd. Trophy as the tournament’s top goal scorer, while the John Craven Award was presented to Stu Walters of Ireland as the most outstanding defender.
Caribbean queens at Nations Cup Nucleus of former Richmond Selects, led by MVP Alyssa Graeme, top women’s division by Don Fennell Sports 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 Kamloops Blaze in the Provincial A Cup under-18 girls’ final. 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 victorious, topping Team Italy 3-1 in the women’s final 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 Nations Cup, which featured some older, more experienced players, may have actually been more challenging than university soccer. One of the six former Selects, Brenda Murillo’s header—the first of her soccer career—completed the scoring 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 former 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 defensively and attack with our speed,” said Clive. “Alyssa Graeme—a deserving recipient of tournament MVP honours—was sensational in the midfield and the goal she scored to open the scoring against India (which helped lift Caribbean into the final) was fantastic.” Graeme, who is anxious to resume her college career at Langara in September, was surprised and honored by her selection as tournament MVP. “It was unexpected to hear the compliments for my consistent playing, 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 describing 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-

X-Falcons extend reign at Dolphin Fourth win in five years for defending four-on-four playground hoop champions by Don Fennell Sports Editor As the sun set on the 29th annual Dolphin Basketball Classic Sunday 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 XFalcons. For the second year in a row, and fourth time in the last five years, the X-Falcons netted the men’s title at the popular Richmond fouron-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 final—demonstrated all the qualities of winners.
Don Fennell photo MVP Josh Whyte paced the X-Falcons to a solid 54-43 victory over University of Fraser Valley in the men’s final of the 29th annual Dolphin Basketball Classic Sunday at Richmond’s Thompson Community Centre.
And that was the key to victory. Sekhon purposely assembled a lineup that, in addition to featuring several “olderâ€? players, featured individuals who have consistently 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 effective on the defensive side of the ball. The X-Falcons tipped off tournament play with a 71-54 win over Blacktop Rainmen Friday and then topped Wolfpack 59-39 Saturday 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.

But healt B alth has improved for se for eiz zed Rottweilers, who h ve each lost between 10 hav a d 15 pounds and by Ja b acq queliine Langen and Ma artin n van den Hemel Bllack k Pre ess
A bid to o h av ve two Rottweilers released frrom dogg gy death row was denied by a Richm mond d pro ov in n cii al court judge, who ruled last w week k he e d id d n’t t have jurisdiction to hear the m matte er.
City lawyer Kevin Westell argued before Judge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’t have the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing on April 10 at Richmond provincial court. Fearing for the welfare of their pets, after learning they hadn’t been walked in months and had ballooned in weight, owner Nav Nijjer and his mother Prabjot Nijjer sought to 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 improvement in the health of their pets, Axel and Paris. They appear to have lost between 10 and 15 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 fi firm has been hired by the family after the City of Richmond applied to have the dogs destroyed. The Richmond Review revealed two weeks ago that volunteers and staff ff at the Richmond Animal 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 walking dangerous dogs, which under normal circumstances would have been seized for a maximum of 21 days. Since they were seized on Oct. 25, following a minor biting incident involving a construction worker who suff ffered a dime-sized contusion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.
The extra exercise, along with a cha ang ge to their diet, has resulted in a notable up ptic ck in their health, Peschisolido said. The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl be re turned and have built an enclosure th hey say ensures that the dogs never escape ag gain n. The enclosure was inspected by anim mal be haviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledge er, who noted there are now three fences—ea ach “at least five feet tall, robust and well-cons stru ucted”—between the Nijjer’s yard and the e ad dja acent Henry Anderson Elementary Scho ool. “These fences prevent school children n from looking into your yard to see the dogs,, and also prevent the dogs from seeing out or coming within 20 feet of the property line,” Led dger wrote.
