Olympic athletes Denny Morrison and Alexa Loo, along with former Vanoc CEO John Furlong, take a look at Richmond’s Olympic Journey, a book that tells the story of the community’s participation in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, at Winterfest Weekend on Saturday at the oval. At right, children have some fun making silly faces at the Richmond News festival booth.

COURT

Armstrong fined $30,000 but avoids jail time

Paralympic curler placed on supervised release for year, son sentenced to a year in prison for smuggling drugs Disgraced Paralympic wheelchair curler Jim Armstrong has avoided going to jail after being sentenced for his part in a father and son fake Viagra smuggling scheme. Armstrong, 59, — who won gold as Canada’s skip in last year’s Paralympic Games — was fined $30,000 and placed on supervised release for a year when he appeared Monday in a Seattle courtroom. His son, Gregory, 28, who lived with $

his father in the family’s $1.6 million Richmond home, was jailed for a year and a day. Both admitted last year to smuggling around $45,000 worth of fake Viagra and Cialis — erectile dysfunction drugs — from India and China via the U.S. For three years, Armstrong senior would drive over the border and pick up the packages addressed to his late wife, Carleen, from a mailbox. His son, who was thrown out of UBC as a student after the charges came to light last spring, would then sell the pills at $15 each in Vancouver area nightclubs.

it.

But less than a month after grabbing gold in the Paralympics last March, Armstrong was intercepted at the Blaine mailbox by U.S. Customs officers, who had been tracking the package since it arrived in Los Angeles. Sentencing Armstrong senior, U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez told the retired dentist that he’d seriously considered jailing him. “You are a trained medical professional ... you knew better, (than to provide counterfeit drugs).” He told Armstrong that he was less to

blame in all of this than his son, hence his more lenient sentence. Armstrong junior was not so fortunate. He was sentenced to a year and a day in prison, two years of supervised release and a $5,000 fine. The judge told him that he put people, “at physical risk of harm ... You put them at risk of death.” It’s not yet all over for the Armstrongs, as they’ll have to return to the same court on April 12, when the judge will determine

COURT

Man convicted of murder of pawnbroker A Malaysian man has been convicted of the seconddegree murder of a Richmond pawnbroker in a six-yearold cold-case file. Kien Beng Tan, 31, was found guilty Friday in the May 2004 slaying of Sonny Le, 50. B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage found that Tan had the necessary intent for murder when he stabbed the victim three times in the heart. Tan was a customer at Le’s shop on No. 3 Road and was angry at Le because he believed he was being charged too much money to get his pawned goods back. A day after the slaying, Tan, carrying a Malaysian passport, checked out of a hotel and caught an overseas flight from Vancouver. Police tracked him down to Malaysia and in June 2006, two RCMP officers travelled to Malaysia, with Tan providing fingerprints. No charges were laid at the time but in 2007, Tan provided fingerprints again when he was arrested in Belgium for crimes allegedly committed there. He was extradited back to Canada from Belgium in May 2008. In a cellplant scenario, he confessed to the murder and wrote a letter of apology to the victim’s daughter. At trial, the accused claimed he didn’t intend to kill the victim, but B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage said Tan had a motive and had the necessary intent for a murder conviction. The matter has been put over to Feb. 16 to fix a date for sentencing. — Postmedia News

2.9 magnitude quake rumbles Richmond Did you feel it? There was some shaking and waking happening in Richmond on Tuesday morning, after a 2.9 magnitude earthquake rumbled the south coast area for the second time in a week. The small quake, just high enough on the Richter scale to be felt, happened at 6:47 a.m. with the epicentre 38 kilometres southwest of Richmond. The quake happened 19 km underground, and was felt by residents in Richmond, Duncan and on Saltspring Island, according to reports. Last week, a 3.2-magnitude quake occurred in roughly the same area, about 80 km south of Vancouver. It rumbled from almost 51 km beneath the earth’s surface, the U.S. Geological Service said. Experts say the province is overdue for a major earthquake. — With files from The Province

Sex act caught at parlour Temptation’s licence suspended after police checks BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

A Richmond massage parlour has fallen foul of the law once again — after an employee was found naked performing a sex act on a client. Temptations Studio will have its license suspended for 30 days from this Friday following a random inspection by plain-clothed and uniformed police officers. After being allowed into the studio on No. 3 and Cambie roads, the two plainclothed officers identified themselves to the owner, Gulnara Alexandrov. One of them, a Const. Upshall, pulled back a curtain covering a window into one of the rooms to reveal a naked masseuse carrying out a sex act with an equally naked customer. By the time the officer’s colleague, Const. Howard, entered the room a few

moments later, the act had stopped, but both the employee and customer were in a position and state of undress that was consistent with Const. Upshall’s observations, according to their transcript of the inspection. After being given a robe to cover her, the employee denied any such act had taken place, saying that it was “nothing” and that “it is what it is.” The officers noted that the employee was “evasive,” before she produced her B.C. driver’s license with the question that “you’re not going to mail anything to the house are you?” adding that her parents live at the address and that she didn’t want the word getting out about what happened. The customer told the officers that he’d paid $160 for a massage, claiming that there was no indication of sex being offered, nor was it asked for. He claimed that, with no

urging from him, the employee massaged his private parts and began carrying out the sex act. He told the officers he was “surprised” at her actions, but admitted he did not ask her to stop. As the officers prepared to leave the premises, Alexandrov pleaded with them to “take it easy on the report,” as it would cause her problems. A report before city council on Monday stated that the city has a three-strikes-andyou’re-out policy with regard to bylaw infractions of this nature. But the report highlighted that since Temptations was last caught flouting the rules for “body rub studios” in September, 2009, for a similar offence, a change of management has taken place. Therefore, the most recent infraction, in September last year, should be treated as a first offence. For more on this story, go to www.richmond-news.com. 01265413

Last weekend, more than 12,000 people came to the Richmond Olympic Oval to relive a little of the exhilaration of last year’s Winter Games. The 2011 Richmond Winterfest Weekend was a tribute to the Olympics, as well as a way to “give back” the oval to the community. “We wanted to celebrate with Richmond residents the fact that the oval is now our building again, not Vanoc’s, and so we invited local community groups to join in the celebration,” said Andrea Lee Hamilton, communications coordinator for the City of Richmond. Participants enjoyed free public skating and ice sport demonstrations, interactive sport

activities, special cultural presentations, art displays and sales and lots of children’s activities. “Children had the opportunity to have their photos taken with an Olympic torch … that was a highlights for the kids,” added Lee Hamilton. Fans of Olympic gold medalist, speedskater Denny Morrison, Olympian snowboarder Alexa Loo, and multiple Olympic medalist speed skater Kristina Groves, lined up for their autographs. “We also had a Skate with a Champion with both Denny and Kristina,” said Lee Hamilton. Meanwhile, the pool of local talent that hit the YVR Community Main Stage included Five Alarm Funk, The Jardines, Abandon Paris, Damian Marshall and Shanna Lynn.

Pet owners warned after boxer-Lab drank from puddle near Terra Nova

Animal welfare advocates are warning Richmond pet owners to take extra care while outside, after a dog died from antifreeze poisoning while walking on the dyke. The owner of a boxer-Lab cross rushed seven-year-old Murphy to the Island Veterinary Hospital last Thursday, but the dog had to be put down Friday. The day before, his owner had parked on the dyke at the end of Westminster Highway where it meets the Terra Nova lands. He then walked south along the dyke and returned home later that day. Shortly after getting home, the dog became extremely sick. “The dog was diagnosed with antifreeze poisoning and despite veterinary intervention, he had to be euthanized …,” said Lori Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “The dog’s family is heartbro-

As little as one tablespoon can kill a cat or small dog and each year thousands of animals (pets and wildlife) die from antifreeze poisoning. “(Antifreeze) almost immediately shuts down their kidneys and that’s what happened to this poor dog,” Chortyk said. “It’s just one of those things and a situation where people need to watch their animals when they’re off-leash. “You have to watch what they’re picking up and eating or drinking. It’s a shame that owners have to take that kind of precaution, but it does happen and you have to be watching them all the time.” Last month, dog food laced with rat poison was found in Morris Park in Richmond and the BC SPCA is not sure if the two poisonings are connected. “We were hoping it was an isolated incident but this latest development is very disturbing, particularly if it is another deliberate attempt to harm animals,” she said.

ken and we want to warn other pet guardians in the area to be extremely careful.” It’s understood that the dog drank from some of the puddles along the dyke trail. Chortyk added that SPCA investigators will pursue animal cruelty charges if the antifreeze has been deliberately poured into the puddles. Posters are now being distributed in the area and to local pet stores to warn pet owners. Chortyk said it’s not clear whether or not the antifreeze dumping was a deliberate attempt to poison animals. “We don’t really know as our investigation is still ongoing, it’s pretty hard to tell,” she said. “But we don’t know why anyone would be draining anti-freeze out there. “However, there are some terrible people.” Chortyk explained that animals are drawn to the sweet taste of antifreeze and will readily consume it if given the opportunity.

Continued from page 1 whether the men owe restitution to the drug companies whose products were counterfeited. Armstrong senior’s lawyer, Richard Hansen, said his client was in “desperate financial straits,” and was losing his Richmond home, which the court heard was valued at $1.6 million. “He can hardly buy groceries,” Hansen told the court, adding that Armstrong “was not profiting” from the scheme and that some packages retrieved from the mailbox contained legitimate goods. Armstrong was president of the World Curling Players Association from 1997 to 1999. But in 2007 he suffered serious knee and back injuries in a car accident. He could no longer work as a dentist. He couldn’t curl. But then he discovered a twist on the sport and became a wheelchair curler, and a superstar of the sport before his downfall began last April. Despite his conviction, he has been allowed to continue to curl for Canada.

Richmond’s real estate prices raise Metro average B.C.’s real estate market appears to be morphing into two categories: Metro Vancouver and the rest of the province. While Metro Vancouver saw a strong increase in the average home price over the past year – up 19.6 per cent in January compared to January 2010, from $638,000 to $763,000 — that’s not the case for most other regions of B.C.,

according to a survey released Monday by the B.C. Real Estate Association, which represents 11 real estate board across the province and 18,000 realtors. Except for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and — for this month, at least — the Kootenays, the province has seen average prices fall, in some cases substantially, in every region in January compared to the

same month last year. “There’s certainly a divergence in the market (between) the south coast and the rest of the province,” BCREA chief economist Cameron Muir said in an interview Monday. “There’s very strong market activity in parts of Vancouver. And that’s skewing the average price higher.” Despite the difference between Metro Vancouver

and the rest of the province, Muir said the numbers can be misleading because the huge increase in Metro Vancouver’s average price was largely because of a surge in purchases of luxury, executive homes in Richmond and the west side of Vancouver. He said the “benchmark” price — the price of a typical home in Vancouver — actually rose just a bit

more than two per cent over the year. He did not have information on benchmark prices for elsewhere in the province. According to the BCREA survey, the average price of a home in B.C. rose 11.5 per cent, to $548,183, in January compared to January, 2010. The BCREA also said that Multiple Listing Service sales climbed seven per cent in January from December

2010, on a seasonally adjusted basis. Compared to January of last year, home sales were down 10 per cent, to 4,137 units. The survey noted that the inventory of homes for sale remained below 47,000 units for the third consecutive month in January, down 14 per cent from the spring of last year. — Postmedia News

Leaders lead us astray

he sorry state of democracy in British Columbia has been on full display in our duelling leadership races. Neither the NDP nor the Liberal campaigns have a lot to be proud of when it comes to jerry-rigging membership lists in advance of the leadership votes. In the Liberal ranks, a cat was signed up and left on the party lists for more than a month, while a group of junior hockey players also found themselves signed up without their knowledge. A restaurant owner offered iPads to those signing up the most new members. In the NDP camp, supporters showed up with bags of money and sat down to staple membership forms to the bills. And that’s only beginning to touch on the mass sign-ups of thousands of people within targeted ethnic communities. Those who believe most of those 70,000 people just suddenly got all politically minded might also be interested in buying a bridge to Vancouver Island. In the midst of the shenanigans, the NDP’s Harry Lali has called for Elections B.C. to oversee processes like leadership races and nomination bids. Not everyone thinks that’s a good idea, arguing the public shouldn’t have to pay to clean up the parties’ dirty laundry. In an ideal world, that would be true. But our political parties have already proved they are poor gatekeepers in keeping nominations clean. Shady or illegal tactics taint the political process long before it ever gets to the voter at the ballot box. Small wonder some choose not to vote. If we need to pay to ensure that doesn’t happen, it would be money well spent. North Shore News Editorial

CHOICE WORDS

No exemptions for culture The Editor, Re: “We all helped build Canada”, Letters, Feb 11. As a Chinese Canadian born in China, I totally agree with the writer and I am also sick and tired of individuals who use their ethnic background and culture to get what they want. Luckily, Canadians can tell if these demands are only from special interest groups or actually from ethnic groups. However, politicians in Canada need to resist the fear of losing voters and stand up to unreasonable demands from special interest groups. For example, if I were Mr. Stephen Harper I would not apologize to the ‘victims’ of the Head Tax, let alone give them compensation. I say this because Canada at that time did not force them to come to Canada. I know a lot of Chinese people in Canada feel the same way. Mr. Bill Chu may have good intentions, thinking that he is doing something good for the Chinese community, but in fact, he is doing the opposite. If Mr. Chu (or anyone) wants to do something good for Chinese Canadians, or if he wants to build a profile for himself, he can work on helping those who have trouble integrating into Canadian culture and society.

Lessons to be drawn from 1355 riots This week marks the anniversary of the St. Scholastica Day riots. If you’ve never heard of them, it’s likely because it’s the 715th anniversary. In 1355, Oxford had already been England’s pre-eminent college town for more than a century. The town largely existed to serve the university, which existed to crank out highlevel clergy, scholars, and most importantly, clerks for the King of England. These clerks weren’t just glorified note takers, they were the backbone of King Edward III’s civil service. Without Oxford, there would be no bureaucrats in government, no one with the education to write and interpret the law. Without them, in other words, it would have just been a bunch of drunk knights with sharp bits of metal and too much testosterone. Not a recipe for calm governance. Oxford University had special rights, and exercised quite a bit of influence over how things were run in the town. Which seems to have grated on the townsfolk a little. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1355, two students, Walter Spryngeheuse and Roger de Chesterfield (a.k.a. Roger de Sofa), bought some wine at a tavern in town, didn’t like it, and beat the tar out of the barkeep. The tavern keeper called in friends and family, and the local constables, who tried to arrest the two finicky scholars. But oops,

Matthew Claxton PAINFUL TRUTH

scholars at Oxford were technically members of the clergy, and therefore not subject to town law. The university refused to punish the students. Some townsfolk allegedly tried to shove their way into the university and were kept out by a group of students. On Wednesday things got really ugly. The mayor of the town rode off to nearby Woodstock, where the king happened to be busy rolling around in the mud, getting high, and listening to Jimi Hendrix. Oh, wait… wrong Woodstock. He was probably doing something kingy. Like hunting, or planning to invade France. Meanwhile, the scholars were told by their university chancellor to quit all this nonsense and get back to studying Latin. Instead, they ran amok in the town, burning and looting. That afternoon, the townsfolk armed themselves with bows and ambushed and killed several scholars, Robin Hood style. Then, backed up by several thousand peasants from the nearby countryside, the townsmen stormed the university and did some burning and looting of their own.

The next day, townsmen sacked a number of halls where students lived, killed more scholars, and even scalped some. The students and instructors fled, not to return to Oxford for months. About 90 people, the majority of whom were students, died. The king, of course, sided with the scholars he needed to keep things running. They were given amnesties and urged to come back. The town, meanwhile, was punished by having many of its rights and responsibilities (tax collecting, policing, road repair) given to the university. The town was also fined 250 pounds, which was likely enough then to buy and sell almost everyone in Oxford. An annual payment was also made by the town to the university, every year up to the 1820s! Is there a lesson in this mess? (Aside from serve good beer in university pubs.) Just the usual ones. When one group is seen to have privileges and rights denied to another group, friction will result. Keep it up, and the situation can burst into flames. The best lesson of the Oxford riots may be that this can happen with any groups. A group of sober, studious, robed future clergymen? A quiet English town? Just another powder keg. Matthew Claxton is a reporter at the Langley Advance.

Letters SPENDING

Biennale purchase is a luxury Richmond can’t afford Wages stay the same while cost of living goes up in all aspects. It is time the government start spending more effort in lowering taxes or compensate us with programs that benefit us and give us what we deserve. I am only 22 this year, and I know for a fact that we are dysfunctional at best as a city, and in greater debt than what the media discloses to the general public. We need to mitigate the situation, not escape from it by adding more taxes and expenses that we cannot afford. If a 22-year-old student growing up in Richmond can easily identify these defects in our system and wishes to make a difference to lessen the financial burden on families living in Richmond, I find it hard to believe that esteemed individuals with authority and influence are not doing anything concrete to resolve our financial crisis.

Please do think long and hard after you have read this and take it to heart that I only want the best for our city, for my neighbours, my community and for my family’s future. I don’t want to have to move from this place, as many families were forced to do because they can no longer afford to pay the taxes and living expenses. I want a future for myself and my family. I want to live in a city where we can one day worry about whether to purchase an item of luxury without compromising the finances and wellbeing of families living here. I hope the purchase does not go through and the government and municipal administration can start lowering tax and tuition in post-secondary schools so we may live with quality OF life and without the fear of financial burdens and poverty.

However, with a previous win in this highly embarrassing competition and now a runner-up placing, the whole council should be more than eligible to get its name permanently enshrined in Canada’s National Hall of Shame.

The Editor, Condolences and deepest sympathies to Mayor Malcolm Brodie and city councillors for not winning, for the second time, Canada’s Most Non-Coveted Trophy, the Teddy Award. In spite of all their efforts and “due diligence” they lost out to Edmonton and finished up as one of the runners-up. The most disappointing aspect of their loss must be that Edmonton won on the expenditure of a paltry $5,000 whereas our city council really worked hard with their

The Editor, Times are hard right now and we should delegate our funds to benefiting taxpayers instead of defrauding them of their rightful earnings for our vain pursuit for the so-called “culture.” If the economy is indeed good and we can afford to purchase (the Biennale works of art) without compromise, then by all means go for it, but times are hard for the working class and we certainly do not appreciate the government spending our tax dollars on luxuries we cannot afford. I am strongly against the motion of purchasing it and think that perhaps the individuals and parties in administration and delegation of funds should think twice before they start making any more proposals to delegate our tax dollars anywhere other than education and benefits that are financially advantageous to taxpayers.

Canada’s Olympic long-track speedskating heroes Denny Morrison and Kristina Groves returned to their old stamping ground — the Richmond Olympic Oval — last week. But it wasn’t to compete against Dutch, Russian or Japanese speed skaters. It was to help announce the third Olympic legacy partner — Aspac Developments — at the Oval on Friday. Aspac, whose purchase of the land surrounding the Oval from the city several years ago enabled the Olympic facility to be built, has bought 1,000 Oval memberships to give to residents moving into its River Green luxury condos. As part of last week’s legacy announcement, Morrison and Groves donned their skates once more and took to the ice for a spin with kids from speedskating clubs based in Richmond, Vancouver and Burnaby. Morrison said it was quite emotional coming back to the Oval, a venue that holds a dear place in his heart. He said he found it odd that the taxi driver who picked him up did not know where the venue was. “To say I’ve grown close to this city is an understatement and it will always be special,” he said. “This is the best wellness sports centre in the world and I hope the community uses it.” Groves said she was “fascinated” to see what the Oval has become after the Games. Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the partnership with Aspac and the Oval was a “natural fit.”

Winter formal signals reality of graduation

The day had arrived. It was Feb. 5 and my school’s annual winter formal, The Ice Affair, would be taking place. My day started with a quick breakfast and shower then I was off to get my hair and makeup done for the night’s festivities. I felt butterflies in my stomach as the clock ticked away. As soon as my makeup was done, I rushed back

home and got dressed. I was putting on the finishing touches when I realized I was running slightly late and began to panic. I

arrived at my friend’s house early enough to get some group shots, and soon all eight of us were on the road headed for the hall. Upon arriving at our destination, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my entire grade had made an effort to dress up. Some of my classmates looked so different all dressed up, it was almost hard to recognize them. In the initial

moments of arriving, it felt as if everything was coming together. With winter formal being one of our first grad events, the reality of graduating was beginning to set in. For the first while, I took what felt like a million pictures. Everyone scrambled around to get pictures with all their friends and fellow classmates. Next, dinner was set up

and tables of grads were slowly called up to the buffet line and some people began getting restless (it’s not a good idea to keep teenagers from their food.) Right after dinner, the dance floor opened up and we danced the night away. Everybody danced for hours and the dance floor was full of life. At the end of the night, I lost my voice, my legs hurt and I had to

start work at 6:30 a.m. Some people might say it wasn’t worth it, but going back in time, I wouldn’t change a single moment. The Ice Affair was a success. Steveston-London’s graduating class of 2011 definitely knows how to have a good time. Nafisah Baksh is a Grade 12 student at Steveston-London Secondary School.

Community Know where to look for the best caregiving help

I often hear caregivers need to know where to start looking for help. Here is a list of ideas that may assist you. • Prepare. When possible, record all medications taken, prescribed and over-the-counter, including pain relievers, cold remedies, vitamins, herbs and supplements. Record if medication was stopped and when and how much medication is taken, even if it is different than what is prescribed. Also record any symptoms (for example pain, mobility, diet, sleep) and prepare to summarize the pattern. • Find a physician (if you don’t already have one). To find a physician accepting new patients in your area in B.C., contact the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. at www.cpsbc.ca/ find-a-family-physician. • Get a checkup. A visit to the doctor or nurse practitioner will help rule out reversible causes which may be hampering abilities to manage independently. Bring along the medication list and symptom log. Discuss issues and expectations. Ask questions and take notes. Referrals to appropriate services may be facilitated from the visit. • Ask for help. Someone who knows the ropes can share valuable resources and contact information. Assistance may also be found at a number of notfor-profit agencies listed on the Vancouver Coastal site at http://caregivers.vch.ca/ resources.htm. • Obtain consent. When at all possible, obtain consent for assistance from the person in your care. Make sure they are agreeable to getting help. Can the type of help be provided by a family

Housing prices makes me rich — on paper Time for city to step in and mandate developers build duplexes and triplexes to increase affordable housing Yee Haw! I’m rich! I’m rich! There’s gold in them thar peat hills! Time to cash in my lot and become a millionaire, then move on to … where? Besides, I could, well, buy some bling, go on cruises, eat and drink till I drop. But what I really want to do is stay in Richmond. I love this place. I love this community. All the things I need are right here — friends, library, parks, farms, scenery, wildlife, shopping. So what is going on? Homes have become so expensive that our adult children who grew up here can’t afford to live here (unless they never moved out). Pensioners are being forced to sell their homes because the assessments and taxes have gone up beyond their means. Perfectly good older homes are being bulldozed to build empty mega-houses for speculation. Some folks even have to sell their long-time homes to use the money that was tied up in real estate as a pension plan. But really, where are ordinary working people supposed to live these days? Let’s face it, we all need each other — youth and seniors, families and individu-

ry that the builder put a duplex or triplex on that lot? If we have to ‘densify,’ here is a way it can be done gradually. Since secondary suites are now legal, they could be a major source of new affordable housing. The city had the right idea by legalizing them, but now they need to promote the advantages. People who built them should be applauded. Builders who retrofit homes should be celebrated. The city could be doing more to get the word out that these are affordable housing options. If we really care about this community, we should be able to come up with more and better solutions than selling out our land base. I believe that our neigbourhoods should be even more diverse and vibrant and that the people who provide our vital services in Richmond should be able to live here comfortably. And that our adult children should be able to move back home (OK maybe not the last one). De Whalen is a long-time activist in Richmond who sits on the Richmond Women’s Centre’s board of directors.

Louder than Love’s Paul Lambert, foreground, and Dan Okano have garnered attention on local radio airwaves and will be at MacNeill secondary Thurs. Feb. 17 for a music clinic.

McRoberts boys make noise on music scene BY MICHELLE HOPKINS

mhopkins@richmond-news.com

Breaking into the rock-and-roll industry is no easy feat. However, in less than one year, Louder Than Love has done just that. The band, which includes lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Paul Lambert, bassist Tony Lambert, Dan Okano on keyboard, Nate Parsons on rhythm guitar and drummer Tyler Thompson, are already set to release their second EP Coming Around in April, which was recorded with producer Jeff Dawson. (Dawson produced the breakthrough debut album Bad Day by songwriter Daniel Powter.) The hometown boys have garnered rave reviews as well as lots of airplay on radio stations such as CBC Radio and 99.3 The Fox. The rock band also won the 2010 Snow Show Fresh Trax competition and is heading out on a Western Canada tour in April, followed by a Western United States tour in July. “We have great chemistry on stage and I feel so much more comfortable knowing

I’m on stage with people I trust,” said Paul Lambert, adding all five members attended McRoberts secondary school. “I think why we work so well is, first and foremost, we are great friends. And more importantly, we are all hungry for this and we have worked extremely hard on tightening our sound.” Okano agreed, and added: “Not only are we really good friends, but we came together as musicians with a lot of experience playing in different bands, and years of professional training as well.” To strengthen its sound and stage presence, the band takes any gig it can. “The industry has changed so much and people aren’t buying CDs much any more,” said Okano. “The only way for a band like ours to increase our fan base is to get out there and get on stage as much as possible.” In a rare move for a young rock band, the guys are taking all they’ve learned so far to give back to their community. Louder Than Love is hosting a music clinic at MacNeill secondary school on Feb. 17 for 160 Grade 9 students. The band will perform for about an hour, followed by a question and answer period.

“Our drummer’s mom is a teacher there and she asked us if we could come and talk to the students about a career in the arts and about following dreams,” said Okano. Lambert added the band has held clinics such as this one before. “The power of music is such a great thing,” said Lambert, who teaches guitar as well. “I’m going to tell the students to pay attention in their English class because it would have made it easier for me to write lyrics if I had.” Lambert did, however, graduate from McGill University with a degree in music composition. “I remember from the moment I picked up a guitar in elementary school that my homework took a back seat,” Lambert added. Meanwhile, Okano interned at Bryan Adams’ Wakehouse Studio. “Working with all these incredibly successful and talented artists, you get a real sense for what you need to do to be successful,” said Okano. They define their sound as modern rock.

“We have taken a little from a number of genres and if I were to compare our sound to any popular band it would be The Black Keys, a bluesy rock band from Vancouver,” said Lambert. Okano pipes in that Lambert’s voice “has lots of melody to it and he has put a lot of training into his voice.” Lambert is also putting pen to paper more frequently now. “You have to stay fresh and new, and to do that, you need to introduce new material,” said Lambert. “I love to write lyrics about anything that inspires me, which right now, are songs about travelling and moving forward in life.” Meanwhile, a renowned record label is scouting Louder Than Love, although both Lambert and Okano are hesitant to say which label until they’ve inked the deal. “We are still in talks,” said Lambert. Meanwhile, the band is busy performing across the Lower Mainland. On March 12 it performs at Vancouver’s Shark Club. For more information about Louder Than Love, visit www.louderthanlovemusic.com.

Griffins poised to win fifth straight city title The RC Palmer Griffins and McNair Marlins are the respective teams to beat at this week’s Richmond Senior Basketball Championships. The third ranked Griffins are expected to have little trouble in winning their fifth consecutive city boys title. They cruised to an 8-0 record and their smallest margin of victory was by 24 points — a 89-65 win over StevestonLondon back in January. Which team they will meet in Thursday’s final at Palmer (7:30 p.m.) is more intriguing. The McMath Wildcats enjoyed a solid regular season with a 7-1 record which included narrow wins over Richmond High (60-57) and Cambie (62-59), while Steveston-London, Boyd and McNair were also within 10 points or less. The Marlins capped a perfect run (9-0) in the

senior girls league with an impressive 58-42 road win over Steveston-London last week in a showdown of unbeaten teams. The Marlins are an honourable mention in the latest provincial “AA” rankings but were expected to have their hands full yesterday against Hugh Boyd in the city “AA” final. McNair slipped past the Trojans 57-56 back in January. The Sharks face a similar tough road to get to the city final as they squared off with defending Richmond Cup champions McMath Wildcats yesterday in the “AAA” final. Steveston-London won both meetings this season by the slimmest of margins, including a 53-52 triumph in the McMath tournament final two weeks ago. The Richmond Cup senior girls final is slated for 6 p.m. on Thursday at McNair.

Richmond coach guiding Team B.C. at Winter Games Russ Weber wants his players to enjoy the experience in Halifax instead of focusing on nothing but winning

If there is any pressure that goes with coaching the top 15-year-old hockey players in the province, Russ Weber sure isn’t showing it. The Richmond resident is currently in Halifax guiding Team B.C. at the Canada Winter Games. The week-long tournament, which concludes Friday with the gold and bronze medal games, culminates an extensive process that began 18 months earlier when Weber was named head coach by B.C. Amateur Hockey. B.C. is looking to improve on its fourth place finish four years ago in Whitehorse where its run for gold ended with a heartbreaking semi-final overtime loss to Ontario.

Fun By The Numbers

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Like puzzles? Then you'll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your Sudoku savvy to the test!
