Richmond population tops 200k

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 Is-land 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 Burn-aby.

The first census year that Richmond reached the 100,000 mark was 1986, when demographers count-ed 108,490 people.

Richmond celebrates Hockey Dayby Don FennellSports Editor

It was Hockey Day Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval, where thou-sands of fans shared their passion for the game at Richmond Celebrates Hockey Day ‘13.

Among them was longtime Rich-mond 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 hock-ey for the University of B.C. Thunder-birds in 1958. “It was before Vancou-ver 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 auto-graphs 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 con-tinue and grow this event, but we have to do an event review and re-port 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 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 oper-ating, 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 se-niors 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 neces-sary,” 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 [email protected].

City council is scheduled to consider the plan for adoption at its Feb. 25 meeting at 7 p.m., when taxpay-ers 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 [email protected].

Under Community Charter rules, the city must adopt the five-year financial plan by May 15.

Dix won’t promise to halt gaming expansionby Jeff NagelBlack Press

BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix won’t pledge to block new casinos or ex-pansions but says he expects the BC Lottery Corp. to rethink its cur-rent approach in the wake of last month’s defeat of a proposed ca-sino in South Surrey.

Asked Thursday if an NDP govern-ment would freeze further gam-bling 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 Sur-rey. “But clearly the lottery cor-poration, after their difficulties in both Vancouver and Surrey, has to reflect on the issue of casino ex-pansion at this time.”

A proposal to convert Vancou-ver’s Edgewater Casino into a giant casino at BC Place stadium was de-feated by Vancouver council more than a year ago in another conten-tious battle between gambling op-ponents and supporters.

“We’ve now had two major set-backs where the lottery corpora-tion was at odds with where the

community was going,” Dix said. “We clearly have to review what’s going on.”

BCLC’s president Michael Gray-don and gaming minister Rich Coleman both ruled out any other

Surrey casino location after the rejection but said they’d consider other nearby municipalities, in-cluding 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.

Back then, there were 2,400 slot machines province-wide. Now there are close to 12,000 – a five-fold increase over the last dozen years that has included the con-version 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 lot-tery revenues has grown,” Dix said.

In an interview last week, Cole-man denied he did anything wrong in contacting Surrey councillors in between public-hearing ses-sions 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.”

Police are looking for witnesses to a Sun-day night accident that left a male motor-cyclist with serious head injuries.

Around 6:45 p.m., Richmond Mount-ies were called to a crash scene on No. 2 Road and Colville, between Francis and Blundell.

According to investigators, the motorcy-cle 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 Van-couver 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 motor-cycle 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 acci-dent is asked to call the Richmond RCMP’s traffic services section at 604-278-1212.

The Conservative federal gov-ernment 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 chil-dren were killed five years ago in Merritt by her deranged ex-husband Allan Schoenborn.

The Not Criminally Respon-sible 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 de-termine if they’re fit to be re-leased, a judge can order the offender be held for up to three years before a review.

And offenders with that des-ignation would not be released unless a judge agrees.

The courts will also be able to ban provincial review boards from issuing controversial unes-corted day passes to designated offenders.

Schoenborn, who is in a psy-chiatric 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 Ca-nadians have been shocked to learn some violent individuals in detention for their mental ill-ness have been given unescort-ed 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 para-mount 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 careful-ly consider the need to promote the recovery of mentally disor-dered offenders while pursuing public safety aims.

“These changes will unneces-sarily 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 Schizophre-nia 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 legisla-tion puts more focus on victims instead of offenders, but much will depend on how the govern-ment implements it.

Railway Avenue greenway gets cash boostby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A future paved trail on the Rail-way Avenue greenway is getting a $449,400 boost from the province.

In December city council ap-proved 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 two-way asphalt trail.

Additional cash from the province, announced last week, will expand the project’s scope. According to the city, new links to neighbour-hoods 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 Ship-yard.

The cash comes from the prov-ince’s BikeBC program, which is splitting $7.36 million for 21 proj-ects in B.C.

Parks planners aim to connect the

new trail with the city-owned Brans-combe 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 op-eration 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 gre-enway.

The project won’t displace existing on-street bike lanes on Railway Av-enue—lanes serving higher-speed cyclists seeking a direct route.

Debate of contentious issue reaches House of Commons; government says proposal flawed

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A proposed law that would ban shark fin imports got a cold reception from Con-servative government MPs this week in the House of Commons.

It was the Family Day holiday in B.C. Mon-day, but it was busi-ness as usual in Ot-tawa, 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 ad-dress a conservation crisis that is happen-ing 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 Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody, first proposed an import ban in 2011. But as a private mem-ber’s bill, a legislative change requires sup-port 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—some-thing 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 prac-tice threatening one-third of all shark spe-cies with extinction. In the House, the MP explained the “brutal” practice of shark fin-ning, in which sharks are caught, fins are re-moved 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.”

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 well-managed 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 sustain-able or humane shark fishery. In fact, most

do not.”But the Conservative

government is “unable to support the bill,” MP Pierre Lemieux said this week.

“However, it will con-tinue to support re-sponsible, legal shark harvesters and will crack down on those who break the rules,” said Lemieux, Parlia-mentary Secretary to the Minister of Agri-culture.

His Conservative colleague, MP Randy Kamp, said the prac-tice 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 be-lieves that working through regional fish-eries management or-ganizations to ensure strong management and enforcement prac-tices 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 with-out addressing over-fishing practices or improving global fish-eries management. We will continue to sup-port responsible, legal

shark harvesters and crack down on those who break the rules.”

The Richmond Reviewhas asked Richmond MP Alice Wong and Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry Lynne-Find-lay for comment on the bill, but both have so far declined.

Shark � n ban proposal gets cold reception

“The fact is that there is no quick and easy way to verify whether imported shark � ns came from a sustainable or humane shark � shery. In fact, most do not.”

– Fin Donnelly


The tourism value of our central park, the Gar-

den City lands, is immense. And it can help, not hinder, the park’s basic values for agriculture, conserva-tion and recreation.

The park should soon be a prime tourist destina-tion, 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 nat-ural 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 unpleas-ant, 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 impedi-ment to progress, as hap-pened 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

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 culti-vated 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 crowd-ing 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 pos-sibilities were boundless, and politicians at all levels bought in. Friends of Gar-den 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 noth-ing worth seeing to show for it.

Jim Wright is president of the Garden City Conservation Society.

opinion

Imagine a province where party lead-ers are chosen in

an independently supervised vote, with 12-year-olds, dead people and pets pre-vented from voting.

Imagine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations and unions have to ad-vertise in their own name instead of financing political

parties and then disclos-ing millions in donations months after the election is over.

Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial state-ments, 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. Lib-eral Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new member-ships. As parties go to online voting, multiple PIN num-bers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address.

These and other glaring problems with our party-based political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms proposed by three independent MLAs. Vicki Huntington broke the party choke-hold on B.C. politics by getting elected

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-lead-er 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 con-stituency assistant.

Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform pack-age. One is to give back-bench 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 dis-tricts. 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 irregulari-ties described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elec-tions and referenda. There are unknown costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Mari-juana 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 funda-mental 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 govern-ment 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 three-week legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can imple-ment it.

I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minis-ter and house leader, if he would consider it.

He allowed that it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session. That will be dominated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

Editor:For the � rst time, an eight foot tall

mandarin orange tree is being dis-played in Richmond City Hall this year for the Chinese New Year celebration.

In the Chinese language, the pro-nunciation of “mandarin orange” is very similar to “fortune and luck” and the golden colour of the fruit symbol-izes positive energy and prosperity. It is a tradition for Chinese families to display a mandarin orange tree, among other � owers, 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 � nd 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.

Editor:Re: “Finn Road protester sued for

farm blockade,” Feb. 8.I am saddened that a farmer

would use toxic materials on farm-land and further saddened that he is now seeking legal compensation in a matter where the safety of the public clearly overrides his immedi-ate needs.

While the matter may have be-come somewhat personal, at the end of the day, burying concrete and asphalt on farmland endangers us all because carcinogenic materi-als 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 informa-tion that toxic materials are being placed in our soil then city hall needs to hold an emergency ses-sion and strengthen our bylaws.

I recall a number of years ago when Gordon Campbell was the Mayor of Vancouver. He was ap-parently 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 imple-mented in double-quick time.

It is commendable that our city hall councillors are taking a hands-on approach in such matters as shark fin soup, gas pipelines run-ning 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 lo-cal environment is being stressed in many areas and our city hall needs to be more responsive in address-ing all our serious pollution issues and placing asphalt in our soil is clearly a serious pollution issue.

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 resi-dents 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 govern-ment 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 offi-cials at all levels. We need to use our votes wisely at election time.

Hats off to headwear

H ats and head-wear made a big statement

on the runways for

the upcoming spring season. Whether it was the dramatic black hats seen at Alexander

McQueen, whimsical animal ears spotted on the models at Anna Sui or biker caps at DSquared2, there were hats for every personality and style. Not only does the perfect hat take your outfit up a notch, it’s also great for cover-ing up bad hair days

and keeping your head warm during the colder months.

One hat trend that’s easy to wear and

fantastic for the winter is a slouchy beanie, otherwise known as a touque. Close-fitting around the head and

loose on top, slouchy beanies come in a variety of colours, patterns and knits. Wool fedoras are also

a popular, albeit more formal, option for this time of year. Try finish-ing off your outfit with a fedora at night if you want a dressy, pol-ished look. For even more glamour, you can accessorize with a wide-brim felt hat, as seen at the Saint Laurent show — de-signer Hedi Slimane topped off his rocker chic models with 70s-inspired floppy hats in neutral tones.

An alternate ap-proach 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 Rus-sian 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 conduc-tor caps are great for

rounder faces. If your face is more heart-shaped, try slouchy beanies or berets to balance out and soften angles of the jawline and cheeks. Heart-shaped 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 jaw-lines, 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 unruli-ness 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 exten-sion of your mood and style — have fun with them!

Premier Christy Clark, flanked by Energy Minister Rich Coleman, has made a new natural gas revenue fund a centrepiece of her pre-election throne speech.

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark kicked off the pre-election legislature ses-sion Tuesday with a pledge to establish a new fund from natu-ral gas exports to support social programs and pay down debt.

The main purpose of the “Brit-ish Columbia Prosperity Fund” will be to pay down debt, start-ing in 2017 when the first lique-fied 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 af-ter 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 as-sumption 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. ef-fective 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 infrastruc-ture that strengthen communi-ties—these are the kinds of op-portunities the B.C. Prosperity Fund can provide,” the speech says.

The government estimates that if B.C.’s liquefied natural gas me-ga-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 in-ternational investment interest in northeastern B.C.’s shale gas deposits. Companies include Mitsubishi Corp., Shell Canada, China National Petroleum Cor-poration and Petronas, a trans-national gas player owned by the government of Malaysia.

Oye relishes in remininscingFormer Sockeye says hockey players love nothing more than swapping old stories

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 Cel-ebrates Hockey Day at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Kurtenbach coached the Sockeyes to the Centennial Cup (Canadian Junior A championship) in 1987.Don Fennell photo

by Don FennellSports Editor

Jordan Oye’s per-spective of Richmond Celebrates Hockey Day was, to say the least, unique.

Like the thousands of others who flocked to the Richmond Olym-pic Oval for the city’s annual celebration of the game Saturday, the Richmond man enjoyed the various salutations to hock-ey—from a celebrity ball hockey game fea-turing 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 Van-couver Canucks Old-timers. 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 Ju-nior A championship in 1987.

But by far his great-est memory of the day

was the reminiscing. It is, he says, what makes hockey such a special game regardless of the level you play at or reach.

Sockeyes trade Oye to Canucks alumni mid-gameFrom Page 17

“That sense of camaraderie was reinforced (when he played with the Canucks in the final pe-riod),” Oye says.

“We had kind of heard that Kurt wanted to play with the Sockeyes but I didn’t know we’d be sending someone to the Ca-nucks to replace him,” he contin-ues. “Then (Sockeyes’ captain) Doug Paterson said I’d been traded because they wanted someone who could skate and dangle.”

Oye was greeted with open arms by the former NHLers.

“It was the thrill of a lifetime, but more than actually playing with those guys or even sitting on the bench was the ride up with them in the elevator. That was the highlight of my night,” he says.

The players, especially the

older ones, were reminded of the elevator ride they used to take in Madison Square Garden whenever the Canucks played the New York Rangers. Then an-other former Canuck mentioned the stairs at the old Chicago Sta-dium and what a hassle it was to climb up and down them be-tween each period.

“Then one guy said, ‘Oh, yeah, it was even worse after a fight,’” says Oye.

While Saturday’s exhibition game was all about fun and a fundraiser for charity, Oye—who ended his hockey career last season with 29 points in 46 games for the Louisana Ice-Gators of the Southern Profes-sional Hockey League—says it was still competitive.

“While they’re enjoying it they still have a lot of pride and still want to win,” he says, noting the

Canuck Oldtimers haven’t lost a game in 20-plus years.

Cliff Ronning made sure the record remained intact last weekend by scoring four goals in a 5-4 win over the former Sockeyes.

“I was a little starstruck. I didn’t want to screw up so I tried to get rid of the puck as quick as pos-sible,” says Oye, now an assistant coach for Seafair Minor Hockey’s Peewee A3 team. “I’ve never been that way. Most games I want the puck, but when I was playing with those guys I didn’t want to disappoint anyone.”

After the game, the reminisc-ing continued. So too, did the good-natured ribbing.

“That (trading Oye) was the best trade the Sockeyes ever made,” former trainer Anson Barrows said.

“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!

Kids’ Movie Night at 6 Pack Beach

Hundreds of people packed up

blankets and head-ed 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, spon-sored 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 mov-ies 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.
