Murder/suicide came after man lost $200,000 at casino
On the catwalk

The 55-year-old man who is believed to have murdered his 50-year-old partner before turning a knife on himself, lost nearly $200,000 in a little more than a day before their bodies were discovered by police in a Richmond hotel room. A coroner’s report obtained by The Richmond Review sheds new light on what factors may have precipitated the murder/suicide at the Hampton Inn on Jan. 8, 2011. The report details the investigation into the deaths of Chin Yao Hu and his female companion, Miao Zhen Chen, with whom he frequently gambled at local casinos. According to the report, Hu borrowed $200,000 from a famly member on the afternoon of Jan. 6, promising to repay the money in two days and letting the family member know he was planning to gamble. “That same family member received a call from Mr. Hu around midnight on the 7th of January, advising that he had lost approximately $100,000 of the money he had borrowed,” the report said. “The family member suggested to him that he should stop gambling and leaving (sic) the casino; he advised he planned to continue at another casino in an attempt to win the money back. During this conversation, he discussed his children and requested that she take care of herself and the family
when he was not there.” The family member didn’t consider the conversation alarming, and simply thought he was referring to his “frequent absences rather than anything more permanent.” When Hu was found in his hotel room, he had just $2,010 remaining. In interviews with family, coroner Lisa Graham learned that both Hu and Chen were frequent gamblers. Hu regularly played with large quantities of cash, and before he died, had warned family members not to gamble, “stating it was addictive and could ruin peoples’ lives...” Chen gambled 15 to 20 times per month, usually wagered in the $1,000 to $1,500 a hand range, and travelled several times a year to Las Vegas to gamble. “She was well known to the high stakes hospitality staff at the local casino, who advised that she often gambled in the company of this male companion.” Chen’s family became concerned about her gambling in the months before her death, when she began showing signs of anxiety and depression. Both Chen and Hu had been charged in connection with crimes elsewhere in the province. In 2010, they were both charged in 150 Mile House, east of Williams Lake, with production of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and fraudulently consuming electricity or gas. “This was known to be causing her significant stress,” the report said. But Graham did not conclude that gambling played a direct role in the incident. “Although the role that the gambling loss played on Mr. Hu’s decisions the night of these events cannot be conclusively determined, it is my belief that it played a marginal role in his decision.

Deaths were likely premeditated From Page 1 “My reasoning for this is that the family member who had loaned him the lost money did not react in any heightened emotional way to the news of the loss. The financial loss was not significant enough in his circumstances to have caused him financial instability, nor did he have any reason to believe that it would cause significant interpersonal conflict with that family member.” According to toxicology testing, both Hu and Chen had methamphetamine and ecstasy in their systems.
But Graham also concluded the drugs played only a marginal role. “Although methamphetamine and ecstasy are both known to have aggressive post intoxication side effects, the role that they played in these circumstances is also seen as marginal. The circumstances of the deaths indicate that these deaths were premeditated; at least planned enough to have brought a large knife to the hotel,” she wrote. There was no evidence of whether the couple had argued before the deaths. “Any, or all, of these factors may
have played a role in Mr. Hu’s decisions, but there is insufficient evidence to state that any one of them directly contributed to the deaths.” On the afternoon their bodies were discovered, hotel staff became concerned when they didn’t make their arranged check-out time, and when they tried to enter their room, an interior slide lock was engaged. Police were then called, and found the two bodies, Chen’s fully-clothed body in a bed, wrapped in a white duvet, and Hu’s sticking out of the washroom into the hotel room hallway.

MDA to restructure workforce Richmond high-tech employer MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates plans to accelerate steps to “restructure its work force” following a preliminary assessment of last week’s Canadian federal budget. “(The firm) has concluded that the budget does not include the funds required to continue the RADARSAT Constellation Mission as currently envisioned,” the company said in a press release. “At this time, MDA is uncertain on the way forward...and expects to work with its customer to seek clarification over the coming weeks.
Given the level of uncertainty, the company is accelerating its steps to restructure its work force related to this event.” On Monday, the firm announced it had signed a $12.5 million contract with a confidential customer to provide “multiple advanced technology solutions for a telecommunications satellite.” MDA, which provides advanced information solutions that capture and process vast amounts of data, employs 2,300 people and is a publicly traded company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. —by Martin van den Hemel

New school zone flashing beacons Garden City Road at Garden City Elementary School A key factor in maintaining safety in school zones is to deter excessive traffic speeds. Drawing attention to posted speed limits and warning drivers when schoolchildren are present is an important part of keeping students safe and encouraging an environment that promotes walking and biking to school. To help raise awareness of the presence of schoolchildren and remind motorists of the 50 km/hr speed limit, shoulder-mounted solar-powered beacons have been installed along the frontage of Garden City Elementary School, located on the west side of Garden City Road between Blundell Road and Francis Road. The beacons will flash for one hour during each of the following periods: • School start: Monday to Friday: 8:10–9:10 a.m. • School dismissal: Monday: 1:10–2:10 p.m.; Tuesday to Friday: 2:20–3:20 p.m. If you see these flashing beacons when driving through this location, please watch out for children and do not travel over the posted speed limit of 50 km/hr. We thank you for doing your part to ensure safety around our schools.

New RCMP contract ‘a joke’ Richmond not permitted to negotiate terms of deal, which lasts for 20 years by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A new 20-year deal with the RCMP got a frosty reception at city hall Monday as elected officials refused to sign a contract one councillor said is “full of holes.â€? “It’s a joke,â€? said Coun. Derek Dang, chair of council’s community safety committee. “We’re going to sign a 20-year agreement that saddles my kids and maybe their kids, to a contract and we don’t know what the ďŹ nal outcome is. It’s untenable.â€? Richmond council passed on its ďŹ rst chance to endorse a contract with the province to secure policing services from federal Mounties. Last month federal and provincial ministers signed the deal, giving city councils until the end of April to ratify. Dang and his council colleagues agreed Monday to wait until the RCMP/ Mayors’ Consultative Forum meets April 20 before making a move. “I want to make a statement on this because I don’t believe anyone else has got the cojones in the region to actually do something,â€? said Dang, noting the contract is being signed by a government “on its last legs.â€? Mayor Malcolm Brodie said that meeting would provide “a better indication of the temperatureâ€? of other mayors toward the deal. “There just hasn’t been a lot of appetite in my opinion to critically analyze the contract,â€? said Brodie. “It seems like the councils will argue for an hour over an $8,000 item, yet you have a 20-year contract with cost increases and changing roles and...nobody wants

to talk about it.â€? Civic politicians don’t like the deal because Richmond had no direct input. The deal gives Richmond little in the way of “functionalâ€? changes, but will cost more, said Phyllis Carlyle, the city’s general manager of law and community safety. Those costs could average 2.7 per cent per year for the next ďŹ ve years—in addition to typical increases in salary and equipment—but ďŹ rm numbers haven’t been landed on. Carlyle said cities have been told the federal government would offer more cash for specialty integrated policing teams in the region, but that’s not indicated in the contract. Asked if anything is regressive in the deal, Carlyle said: “There is some federal downloading here, and I do think that is a regressive
move, myself.� Richmond, which previously launched its own review of policing services, is one of few critics of the contract. But if Richmond doesn’t sign by April 30, the Police Act gives the province power to decide on local police services—and bill the city for them. If that happens, Richmond could also be on the hook for the federal government’s 10 per cent cost contribution. The contract secures the RCMP through March 31, 2032, but Richmond can sever ties with 25 months notice, provided the notice is given in the month of March. Some councillors say they favour a regional force, but that would require political will and co-ordination, as the province has left those discussions up to cities, according to staff.
Coun. Ken Johnston said a municipal force wouldn’t be feasible. He favours a regional force, but other cities don’t seem to be interested. That leaves Richmond forced to sign the new RCMP contract— unless it’s willing to give the province “carte blanche to charge whatever it wants.â€? “I’d love to vote against it, but I just don’t think it’s practical. I’d rather know what I’ve got as opposed to (providing) an open chequebook,â€? he said. A review of police services in Richmond concluded in 2009, but failed to determine whether a municipal force or a regional force would be a better ďŹ t. Instead, it made suggestions on how a new deal with the RCMP could be improved— items the city isn’t able to directly negotiate.

City surplus totals $4.6 million Real estate sales continue to cool Freeze on discretionary spending, staff vacancies boost total by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Every man, woman and child in Richmond would net $24 if Richmond city council offered residents an equal rebate from
the budget surplus. The finance department revealed Monday that cash leftover from the 2011 operating budget totals $4,556,000. But taxpayers shouldn’t expect a rebate. A staff report presented each June offers council suggestions on spending the annual surplus. Council spent the previous year’s $2.5-million surplus on 24 different projects, including weed maintenance, sister city trips to China and Japan and computer software. Another $500,000 was put into reserves for future projects. According to a staff report
from Venus Ngan, manager of treasury services, the 2011 surplus is largely due to chief administrative officer George Duncan freezing city hall’s discretionary expenses in September 2011. Other factors resulting in surplus dollars include staff vacancies and good weather, which reduced costs for snow removal and windstorm response. Ngan’s report also noted the city’s take from River Rock Casino Resort was $13.7 million in 2011—up 9.3 per cent over the previous year. Gaming revenue is funnelled into a capital reserve and used for city grants.
by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter There are more people trying to sell their homes than buyers ready to scoop them up, according to the latest figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Last month saw a 12.6 per cent drop in single-detached home sales in Richmond compared to a month earlier, with 104 homes sold for a median selling price of $943,000. That’s the lowest median selling price since April 2011, at $940,500, according to the board’s statistics. March of 2012 proved to be a much quieter month in terms of sales activity than a year ago, when the real estate market was white hot in March of 2011,
and some 262 houses changed hands at a median selling price of $988,000. “The total number of properties for sale in Greater Vancouver has increased each month since December, which means there’s more selection to choose from as we enter what’s traditionally the busiest season of the year in our market,” said board president Eugen Klein. “Home sellers have been more active than buyers the first few months of the year, but we continue to see a relative balance in the total supply of homes for sale and current demand in the marketplace.” While condo sales also slowed in March, down five per cent, townhouse sales improved 8.75 per cent, at a median price of $550,000, up 2.8 per cent.

EDITORIAL: Justice system fails victims
T
here are many cases before the courts that leave one flabbergasted at the lack of justice being meted out.
Child sexual abusers receiving mere months in jail for ruining lives; house arrest for dangerous driving causing death. Then, there are those crimes that will never see the inside of a courtroom, such as drunk driving charges being tossed due to trial delays, or no charges being pursued despite a confession of murder. The power of these examples to infuriate is just as great as impotent punishment.
Such is the situation involving 80-year-old Gerald McDonald. Last year, the North Delta grandfather died just two weeks after a vicious attack at his home. The octogenarian was badly beaten with baseball bats wielded by a group of people intent on inflicting property damage following a verbal altercation with McDonald’s son. Two weeks later, McDonald was dead from a heart attack and a B.C. coroner makes no bones about linking the two events. Coroner Kate Corcoran listed the cause of death as “homicide.” She also said that “considering
the facts of this investigation, it is reasonable to conclude that the September 20, 2011 assault was the cause of the cascading events that led to Mr. McDonald’s demise.” So those responsible for the assault will be held accountable for the results of their actions, right? Wrong. According to the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch, only the findings from an autopsy can be used to consider homicide charges. In McDonald’s case, the autopsy report makes no link between the attack on the senior and his death. This alone would be extremely difficult for McDonald’s family to
come to terms with. But then this sucker punch: Assault charges in McDonald’s attack are also not being considered. Apparently, Crown counsel does not believe it has enough evidence to win a conviction. Bats, a beating, and a blackand-blue victim. What other evidence would be required? An often-used legal quote (attributed to Lord Chief Justice Hewart) notes that “justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.” For Gerald McDonald, our system has failed miserably on both counts. —Surrey Leader
Gentle John Cummins? Not really
B.C. Views Tom Fletcher
I
n an interview with one of our Vancouver Island papers before Christmas, B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins made a bold prediction that he would have party status before the general election in May 2013. That’s four seats, and it wasn’t based on an unlikely sweep of the ChilliwackHope and Port MoodyCoquitlam by-elections, now set for April 19. He hinted he was getting calls from MLAs looking to join up, after a November Angus Reid poll showed a sudden surge to 18 per cent for his resurgent brand. We now know that one of those callers was Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen. I asked Cummins on Friday if he is still confident about three more. “Hopeful, let’s put it that way,” he replied. Van Dongen’s explosive departure was arranged, with Cummins’ help, for maximum damage to Premier Christy Clark. Van Dongen notified the B.C. Liberal caucus that he was quitting. Then, in a questionable use of legislature privileges, he launched a broadside on Clark’s integrity. He cited the $6-million legal payout in the B.C. Rail sale, a decision made before Clark’s time, and the recent collapse of a deal to

sell naming rights to B.C. Place. He described the B.C. Liberals as “an organization headed for failure,” then announced he’s joined the B.C. Conservatives. Cummins then joined van Dongen at a hotel news conference across the street, as the former Gordon Campbell cabinet minister disclosed he has hired his own lawyer to dig through the roomful of paper from the B.C. Rail case once again. Auditor General John Doyle is already in court seeking access to details of the $6 million in lawyer bills, which the Attorney General’s ministry hasn’t provided because it doesn’t have them. These delicate matters were farmed out to yet more independent lawyers.
Independent special prosecutor Bill Berardino also spent seven years and many more millions on the B.C. Rail case, including the role of Clark’s lobbyist brother, Bruce. He didn’t find the smoking gun now sought by van Dongen. This effort seems designed more for political revenge in an election year than to clarify the sorry legacy of the B.C. Rail sale that has already been examined through two provincial elections. Van Dongen was at the top of everyone’s list of disgruntled B.C. Liberals. During last year’s leadership contest, he muttered darkly about not only B.C. Rail, but also the integrity of fellow Abbotsford MLA Mike de Jong. Now Clark is van Dongen’s target, with
Cummins standing beside him trying to look statesmanlike. Of course van Dongen drove himself out of cabinet long before Clark returned. Chronic speeding by a public safety minister is a tough sell. I asked Cummins about the reluctance of key cabinet ministers Kevin Falcon and George Abbott to confirm they are running again. His aw-shucks friendly-grandpa modesty precludes speculation, but he did allow it’s “maybe a comment on the state of affairs in the Liberal caucus.” Reporters started surveying government MLAs after Falcon and Abbott kept their options open for 2013. For the record, fellow ministers Terry Lake, Shirley
Bond, Pat Bell, Mary Polak, Rich Coleman and Stephanie Cadieux all said they are firmly on Clark’s election team. Independent-minded backbenchers Bill Bennett and Kevin Krueger also saluted the B.C. Liberal banner. Randy Hawes allowed that he’s 65, so if he leaves it will be for the golf course. As I was talking with Cummins, B.C. Conservative advisor Randy White was assuring the Abbotsford News that more defections are coming. Cummins has people for the dirty work.

letters New parking system at hospital designed to provide fast, convenient parking Editor: Re: “Inappropriate emergency parking at Richmond Hospital,” Letters, March 23 and “Parking tickets at Richmond Hospital,” Letters, March 30. The new parking system at Richmond Hospital is part of a larger parking improvement project that includes better traffic flow, increased parking spots for patients and visitors and the installation of the new pay by stall parking meters. The goal of this project was to provide fast, convenient parking to the thousands of people who work at and visit our facility each year. Pay by stall parking meters are the industry standard and provide a number of benefits including eliminating line ups at the ticket booth, improved
ability to leave and re-enter the facility when a 24-hour pass is purchased and reduced operating costs. Having said that, we recognize the special needs of patients and visitors at a hospital and we have a number of initiatives in place to address those needs. These

include drop off and pick-up zones and short term parking near entrances, and a parking meter installed in the Emergency Department so patients and visitors don’t have to go outside to top up the meter.

Budget to hurt retirees
Celebrating Vaisakhi in Canada
Editor: Are you prepared to give up $13,000 during your golden years? MP Alice Wong and Prime Minister Stephen Harper think you are. That’s what the average Canadian will have to give up thanks to the federal budget introduced by the Conservative Party last week. The budget cuts retirement benefits by raising the age of eligibility for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement from 65 to 67 years, forcing Canadians to postpone their retirement for 2 years. For low income seniors it’s even worse. They stand to lose up to $30,000 which could hike seniors’ poverty by up third. It’s a massive hit to the least-well off. It’s mean-spirited and it’s wrong. The Conservatives offered zero financial analysis to justify the cut because there is none. The OECD, the Parliamentary Budget Officer and other leading experts have all confirmed that Canada does not face a pension crisis. The Conservatives are also using the budget making deep ideological cuts. Canadians should be asking Stephen Harper and Alice Wong how they can justify such a small-minded Canada. Bob Rae, Leader Liberal Party of Canada
Editor: Canada is blessed with an impressive array of diverse cultures. People from more than 200 communities call Canada their home. Festivals and celebrations representing these cultures have made Canada very rich. In this context, the Vaisakhi celebration is a great asset to the Canadian Mosaic. Vaisakhi is celebrated around mid April every year throughout the world. It is one of the South Asian community’s biggest celebrations. It signifies the beginning of the harvesting season in India. It is also a celebration of the birth of the Khalsa (the Pure One) more than 413 years ago. It was in 1699 that the last of the ten Gurus of Sikh faith, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, baptized five Sikhs and gave them a distinct identity. To day, more than 25 million Sikhs, including around 700,000 in Canada are spread out in some 160 countries around the globe. In Metro Vancouver, Vaisakhi is celebrated in different communities. These include two major religious
colorful parades (Nagar Kirtans) in Vancouver and Surrey. They attract tens of thousands of people from all over. This year, the Nagar Kirtan in Vancouver will take place on Saturday, April 14. Here in Richmond, East Richmond Community Association (Cambie) and South Arm Community Association will be jointly celebrating Vaisakhi on Monday, April16 at East Richmond Community Hall from1 to 3 p.m. Similarly, Richmond Multicultural Community Services will be celebrating Vaisakhi on Wednesday, April 18 at Caring Place (Foyer) from 12 noon to 2 p.m. In addition to that, India Cultural Centre of Canada (Nanak Niwas Gurdwara on No. 5 Road) will be celebrating Vaisakhi on April15. These celebrations go a long way in creating more awareness and understanding about the cultural and religious significance of Vaisakhi. I would like to wish your staff and readers a very happy Vaisakhi. Balwant Sanghera Richmond

Bottled water does not compete with tap water Editor: I read with interest the column written by Arzeena Hamir that appeared in the March 30 Richmond Review entitled “City needs to embrace ripples of change.” While Ms. Hamir is to be commended for her commitment to water sustainability, pointing her finger solely at corporations will not preserve this valuable resource for generations to come. It is important to note that agriculture uses 70% of total available fresh water, industry 20% and domestic users 10%. The bottled water industry uses well less than 1%. We don’t believe that privatization is a threat to water sustainability. About 97% of the world’s water treatment facilities are government-operated. That’s not likely to change soon, if at all. The private sector has proven no more adept at running these facilities than the public sector. The Blue Communities Project is not an environmental initiative – it’s a political campaign being waged by CUPE against the Canadian beverage industry and its 13,000 employees across Canada. We agree with CUPE and the council that water is a human right. And given that Canada has a $31 billion water and sewer infrastructure deficit resulting in, amongst other things, more than 1,500 boil-water orders across the country last year, we also support continued investment in our municipal systems. Where we draw the line with the CUPE and the council is their misguided and misleading attempts to
ban the sale of bottled water in public facilities. Bottled water does not compete with tap water. More than 70% of Canadians drink both. They consume tap water at home and bottled water onthe-go for proper hydration and better health. Purchasing bottled water does not impact much-needed investments in Canada's water and sewer infrastructure. Canadians pay local, provincial and federal taxes with the expectation that a portion of those funds will be invested to properly maintain their municipal water systems. They spend their disposable income on a myriad of consumer items, including bottled water. There are a number of initiatives Ms. Hamir and others can and should focus on to help preserve, protect and strengthen our water systems that are more effective than targeting bottled water. They include calling on government to make water and sewer infrastructure development and maintenance a priority; make all residential, commercial and industrial water takers pay their fair share of the real cost of water consumption; address the inefficient use of water by municipalities, agriculture and industries; require treatment of wastewater before it is returned to rivers, lakes and oceans; and invest in related public education and communications about water conservation and protection.

news Robbers ee with stolen jewelry following mall heist by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Two men robbed G Stone Jewelers at Lansdowne Centre mall late Friday afternoon, and then used the carnival in the parking lot to cover their tracks. According to Richmond Mounties, they were called shortly after 5 p.m. to a report of a robbery in the store. Two men entered the store and demanded the clerk open the drawers and hand them jewelry. But the clerk was too slow for them,
and the two suspects went behind the counter and helped themselves, ďŹ lling their pockets, police said. The pair then ed on foot with an undisclosed amount of jewelry. According to RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, Mounties conducted an area search, but their efforts were hampered by the presence of the carnival in the parking lot. Turley said she didn’t have a description of the suspects. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212.

Contributor Every now and then, life throws us a curve ball. For Anthony, it happened when he threw out his back, making it difficult to perform tasks he would normally do on his own. Shopping for groceries was one such task, so after hearing about it at a community centre, he decided to try out Volunteer Richmond Information Services’ Shop-by-Phone program. Anthony, accustomed to being independent, has been using the program for the past three months and couldn’t be happier. “I really can’t say enough about them,” he says. “(The program) sure makes my life a lot easier.” Shop-by-Phone, which came into existence in 1993, is one of several services, along with Group Shopping, Individual Shopping and Personal Shopping, that Volunteer Richmond offers to clients in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health – Richmond. “This program is for people whose health prevents them from being able to shop for their groceries,” says Carol Dickson, manager of Volunteer Richmond’s Seniors Community Support Services. “Generally they are older adults.” According to Dickson, the program helps them “maintain their independence and remain in their own homes for as long as possible.” The length of time each participant uses the program varies. “Someone who has had a serious accident uses the service for a few months until they get better,” says Dickson. For others it may be a long term service. The impact that the program has

on the lives of clients is immeasurable. “I just don’t think I could do it,” says Anthony, who doesn't have family nearby to help him out. Through the program “you order and you get what you order,” he says, adding that if Safeway (the program runs out of the Broadmoor store) doesn’t have something on his list, the volunteers will leave him a note to let him know. His appreciation for the program doesn’t end with the meticulous nature with which the shopping volunteers fill his order. “What blew me away is they asked me if I would prefer someone calling me,” he says. This way, a volunteer would contact him for his order each week so he wouldn't need to remember to call himself. “They’ve been really great to me,” says Anthony. “This is one of the best things I have been involved with.” As mentioned, the program that has helped Anthony since
his injury runs thanks in a large part to many hardworking volunteers. Some take orders over the phone, others shop at Safeway, and, in the near future, several will even deliver groceries using Volunteer Richmond’s Community Cruiser. An eye for detail is a key skill that all of them have in common. This is so they can be sure that each client is getting exactly what they requested. “It’s just a wonderful feeling knowing such care is taken to get the [clients] their correct groceries,” says Dickson. Volunteers benefit from “knowing that they’re making a difference, that they’re providing a service that impacts so many lives in such a positive way.” And the clients, like Anthony, are truly grateful.

New legislation to deter crime against seniors by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond MP Alice Wong, Minister of State for Seniors, says legislation introduced last month is designed to better protect seniors by acting as a deterrent to criminals who prey on the elderly.
The proposed amendments to the Criminal Code of Canada would ensure that sentencing for crimes against the elderly would take into account the impact of crime on their lives, she said. If the crimes victimize the elderly, that would be considered an aggravating fac-
tor, said Wong during the announcement by Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and MP Robert Goguen, parliamentary secretary to the minister of justice. According to Wong, courts currently have the discretion to consider crime against seniors an aggravating factor during

But the legislation would “codify age as an aggravating factor,” she said. “Society sees elder abuse as socially and morally reprehensible,” she said. “This is exactly what Canadians are telling me...they would like to see this as a factor, deterring people from committing seniors crime.” Evidence that an offence had a significant impact on the victims due to their age, health or financial situation would, under the proposed changes, “be considered an aggravating factor for sentencing purposes.” The change to the legislation would ensure a “consistent application” of sentencing practices. In 2008, the federal government launched a $13 million, three-year, elder abuse awareness campaign, Wong said, and Ottawa remains active in addressing elder abuse through the New Horizons for Seniors Program.

Popular breakfast chain comes to Richmond Cora opens second Metro Vancouver location by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond’s first Cora restaurant—and the region’s second location— opened April 2 at 17011380 Steveston Hwy., serving its home-style gourmet breakfasts and lunches. Regulars in other Canadian cities already know about the Samira WakeUp, Eggs Ben et Dictine and 1990’s Harvest, but the chain and its menu offerings are relatively new in B.C., which has four other Cora restaurants. Working on the front lines of Richmond’s 156-seat eatery in Coppersmith shopping centre are co-owners Jack Wong and his wife Siu Ling Wong. Jack Wong is a computer software developer who, after finishing his master of business administration degree, was looking for a new career. “I like dealing with people, meeting with Colbin Wong, Siu Ling Wong and Jack Wong are preparing to open the doors of the newest Cora restaurant—at Steveston Highway and Coppersmith Place.

people,” said Wong, who found Cora at a franchise show. “The more you can do that, it makes my day.” The Wongs will be joined by their son Colbin Wong, 29, who will serve as a manager at the new family business. The chain started when
its namesake Cora Tsouflidou bought a small diner in Montreal in 1987. Within months, the restaurant had a new focus: breakfasts. Combining fruit, cheese, cereal, omelettes, crepes and French toast, the breakfast concept proved a hit. The chain now boasts
over 120 franchises across Canada. Cora Richmond will be open 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The restaurant will host a grand opening ceremony April 11 at 9 a.m.

S
pring us upon us and for many people this means the beginning of seasonal allergies (hayfever). Hayfever is an inappropriate immune response by the body to essentially harmless substances. Common symptoms include itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, wheezing and headaches. People often mistake these symptoms for a common cold. However, a cold will usually accompany these symptoms with a fever. Standard but effective treatments include using specific herbal medicines, homeopathic medicines and glandular substances. This treatment plan will reduce the body’s inappropriate immune response thereby treating allergies from the cause rather than treating just the symptoms unlike most overthe-counter medications. There are no side effects, dependencies, toxicities, drowsiness or rebound congestion associated with natural remedies. Dr. Jheeta offers Recent advances in the treatment of allergies include intravenous Richmond over 17 years Vitamin therapy. This involves using large amounts of specific of Naturopathic services nutrients injected directly into the bloodstream. Once again the result is relieving the body’s inappropriate immune response and subsequently alleviating the symptoms for months at a time. This treatment is an option for those patients who do not like taking pills three or four times a day for months.

DENTAL IMPLANTS: A PERMANENT SOLUTION Richmond, BC “Millions of Canadian citizens can’t eat the foods they want due to missing teeth, 19th Century denture technology and sore gums. Many of these patients refuse to go into public because of the fear that others will see their problems and due to their embarrassment of being unable to eat anything besides overcooked pasta. Dr. Greg Nelson can end their agony. The many benefits available from implant dentistry are the products of nearly two decades of success with thousands of patients. Dental implants give you teeth with a secure and solid foundation, so you can chew the foods you like and improve your nutrition. Implants also help preserve the bone of the jaw and help keep you looking younger. Many dental implants can now be placed with virtually no discomfort. Dr. Nelson now employs a new technique where he can suturelessly (without stitches) provide implant treatment. This is a tremendous advance even from just five years ago. This procedure is performed in a routine dental setting on an outpatient basis and requires no hospitalization. The patient is able to go home the same day. “With new techniques, my patients are able to continue wearing their existing teeth during the entire healing period and never have to go a single day without teeth,” says Dr. Nelson. Not only do dental implants benefit the person who is missing all of their teeth and that has loose dentures, they also help those individuals missing a single tooth, or just a few of their teeth, by offering a more natural, permanent replacement. If you’re finally ready to do something about those loose dentures, or need to replace only one or more of your missing teeth, consider dental implants the permanent answer to your problem.

easter Easter egg hunt on the farm
Rabbit rescue group fears bunny boom
The Sharing Farm Orchard and London Heritage Farm are hosting an Easter Egg and Scavenger Hunt this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 pm..13776 Gilbert Rd. (located near the intersection of Gilbert and Dyke roads). There’s lots of family fun to be had. Kids will start at the orchard and take part in a scavenger hunt with fun prizes and activities. Then they’ll follow the hunt to London Farms for a traditional Easter Egg Hunt with great prizes!! Dress appropriately, rubber boots are recommended. Donations to The Sharing Farm are appreciated. It takes place at 13776 Gilbert Rd. For info, e-mail emily@ sharingfarm.ca or call 604-360-7220.
It’s spring and it’s Easter and that means one thing in particular for the Lower Mainland—lots of rabbits! And this year’s mild winter may mean burgeoning numbers this summer. The abandoned domestic rabbits and their offspring are running amuck in areas throughout Richmond. A quick tour of Richmond shows baby bunnies everywhere including such unlikely places as the Richmond Auto Mall and even busier downtown boulevards and parking lots. Why is Richmond so lucky to have all these rabbit feet this year? Their close proximity to densely populated centres help them ward off predators, but along with the unusually mild weather, the area is suffering the fallout from last year’s Year of the Rabbit. Heightened interest invariably leads to an equal percentage of subsequent disinterest. Pet stores no longer sell rab-
bits in Richmond, but the friendly ferals were easy to catch, albeit illegally. The wildlife office, now under the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, considers the pet rabbits feral and ‘wildlife’ (and an invasive alien species) as long as they’re not contained. The ministry supports trapping the rabbits for euthanization only. They have indicated they will not support possession, even if the rabbits are sterilized and have secure new homes. Rescue groups like Rabbitats, which is designed to trap, sterilize and promote sanctuary housing for the rabbits, are being discouraged which also eliminates control over sterilization and containment. Rabbitats will be hosting an Easter Bunny Fest at the Richmond Auto Mall on Sunday, April 8 (Easter Sunday) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an information table, a garage sale and a bake sale to raise awareness and funds for sanctuaries and shelters.

Easter egg hunt at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery With more than 55,000 square feet of floor space, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site offers lots of places for the Easter Bunny to hide his eggs! On Saturday, April 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., kids will get a chance to discover where the busy bunny has hidden his coloured plastic eggs inside the massive building. As kids search for the eggs and answer cannery questions, they will learn fascinating facts about our west coast fishing history. The eggs can then be exchanged for goody bags. There will also be a host of crafts, such as making an Easter basket, as part of the hunt. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site of Canada is operated by the non-profit Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society, on behalf of Parks Canada. It’s located at 12138 Fourth Ave. in Steveston.

Explaining the Christian holy season The Lenten season is one of the holiest times of the year on the Christian calendar.
About one-third of the planet, or roughly 2.1 billion people, are Christians. Each spring, this large subset of the population celebrates the religious miracle that is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Lenten season is one of the holiest times of the year on the Christian calendar. This is a period of 40 days and nights that begins with Ash Wednesday at the beginning of Lent and lasts through Easter Sunday. Many Christians celebrate Easter but may not know the significance or meaning behind certain days on the Lenten calendar. Here is a primer on the Lenten season for Christians and non-Christians alike.

Memorial hockey game pays homage to Samantha Wong Richmond Devils have fond memories of former coach by Don Fennell Sports Editor
T
hey played hockey at Minoru Arenas
Sunday. But unlike the thousands of others this season, the final score was irrelevant. Everyone
was a winner. And in the big rink in the sky Samantha Marian Wong smiled as the Richmond Devils and Ravens raised $3,400 for the B.C. Lupus Society in her memory. It was, in the words of the late American hockey coach Bob Johnson, “a great day for hockey.” The April 1 charity game, attended by 300 people, was the second played between the teams in as many seasons. They hope to make it an annual fundraiser for lupus, an acute chronic autoimmune disease which attacks any organ of the body. There is no known cure. A lifelong hockey fan and player, Wong was hospitalized just prior to Christmas, 2010—only a few months after accepting an assistant coaching role with the Devils. She was 32 years old when she lost her final battle to lupus Feb. 6, 2011. Wong was first diagnosed in her mid-20s, after being hospitalized following a hockey game. She was playing in a women’s league in Hong Kong that she helped to oversee.
SAMANTHA WONG
“As soon as she was out of hospital, we took her back home (to Vancouver),” said her sister Belinda, nine years her junior. “We thought she was going to get better but the more we found out about (lupus), we learned there was no cure. She tried to not let it affect her lifestyle, but it was obvious it was mentally weighing on her.” The ice rink had always been Wong’s home away from home. And throughout her battle with lupus, it became her refuge. Since first lacing up her skates at the age of eight, hockey had been her favourite pastime.

“She was always anxious to get on the ice,” said Belinda. “It’s where she felt most comfortable. Where she didn’t have a worry in the world.” That was most apparent when she played her first game back—a year after being diagnosed with lupus and losing 30 pounds. Wong’s love of hockey—and the Vancouver Canucks—was spawned by her family. Even her grandparents were big fans. And both her brother, a few years younger, and youngest sister Sabrina (a member of the Richmond Devils) still play the game. Only Belinda, who was a figure skater, never took up hockey. “I wanted to play, but my grandmother insisted one of the girls shouldn’t play,” laughed Belinda. “But I’m a huge hockey fan, and still get to play ball hockey at least.” Wong, who was also a diehard Trevor Linden fan, grew to become one of the top female hockey players in B.C., and represented the province at the 1995 Canada Winter Games. She later played pro hockey for the Vancouver Griffins during the inaugural season of 2000-01. In 2010 she had the honour of being selected by VANOC to be the team host for the women’s hockey club from China during the Winter Olympics. She became an assistant coach with the Richmond Devils at the encouragement of head coach Dav Szeto. “I first talked to Sabrina, who’d already agreed to play on the team, because I wanted to know how she’d feel about having her sister as a coach and she was excited,” said Szeto. “Then over the course of the summer, Samantha and I met three or four times to brainstorm about what our roles could be and the expectations in building a team. The more we talked, the more interested she became in coaching until finally agreeing to it.” See Page 20

Passover given a healthy twist Passover is a holiday brimming with tradition that celebrates the Jewish people’s emancipation from slavery during the Pharaoh’s rule in Egypt. It serves as a remembrance of the hardships endured while in captivity. But many individuals celebrating the holiday ďŹ nd they become servants to the foods prepared for the traditional Passover seder —spending hours in the kitchen cooking recipes that can be high in fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium. “From a nutrition standpoint, Passover is an extremely difďŹ cult holiday. Many people I speak with diet the weeks before the holiday in anticipation of the inevitable 5 to 7 pound weight gain they will incur over the eight-day Passover holiday, says Dr. Tamar Schwalb. “Passover weight gainâ€? is usually due to the consumption of an inordinate amount of eggs, potatoes, and some form of matzoh, which serve as the basis for the traditional
Passover recipes.â€? Those who have special dietary needs or are just interested in enjoying Passover in a more healthy way can ďŹ nd innovative and delicious recipes in Passover the Healthy Way, by Bon-
nie R. Giller, a registered dietitian . Giller says she wrote the book after hearing common concerns from clients regarding popular Passover foods, including lack of variety, complicated recipes,
unhealthy ingredients and resulting weight gain. “With proper planning and recipe modiďŹ cation, your Passover recipes can be low in fat and healthy. See www.passoverthe healthyway.com for info.

‘Big sister’ left lasting legacy From Page 18
“Unfortunately I didn’t get to know her for a long time, but the time we had was very effective,� she said. “She was very inspiring and I truly miss her. She’s always in our hearts whenever we’re on the ice or in the dressing room.� Wong, said Szeto, brought a deep perspective into the female game, while at the same time being able to break the ice when the tension among the players got high. Devils’ captain Carly Millman saw Wong as a role model. She’s sure her of her teammates did too. “I never had a female coach before and it was very interesting to get a female’s perspective of hockey,� said Millman, who was
an inaugural member of the Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Association when it began in the early 1990s. “Sammi was a person who was very passionate about the game and it was so evident in what she said and her participation on the ice during drills,� said Millman, who remembers her strong personality also helping a new team turn around its fortunes. “We all sat together at one point early in the season when our team wasn’t doing so well. I think it was in Nanaimo and she gave us all a new perspective on how to look at goals as a team, rather than as individuals. That’s when we started to turn our season around. And even after she got
sick, she still came to games before she couldn’t. She cared so much about us.� Caring for others was in Wong’s character, said her sister Belinda. “In Chinese we would call her Big Sister,� she said. “She was kind of like a third parent to me and Sabrina,� said Belinda. � At times she could be quite stern, but she was always looking out for us. If anything, she was a big sister to everyone—friends, her hockey team and family. It was just her nature to take care of everyone even when she had her own problems. She showed me, and others, that it doesn’t matter what life throws at you, you’ve got to do what you want to do.�

Devils cool Heat
Pacific International Cup coming in a hurry
Richmond wins women’s soccer championship The Richmond Red Devils capped a successful season in the Metro Women’s Soccer League’s Second Division by winning the playoff championship, edging the Xtreme Heat 1-0 Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Thirty-eight teams competed in cup play. The hotly-contested game was scoreless after a half, though
April 18 to 22 at Richmond Curling Club by Don Fennell Sports Editor In its 12-year history, the Pacific International Cup has featured some of the best men’s and women’s curlers on the planet. This year’s event, April 18 to 22 at the Richmond Curling Club, will be no exception as teams from as far as New Zealand
and Australia will be included along with teams from throughout the U.S. The event will also decide the B.C. reps in the annual Dominion Curling Club Championship. For B.C. teams, entry into the PIC is gained by winning club playdowns held in each zone throughout the province.
both teams had good opportunities to score. The second half started just as the first, but as it continued the Red Devils started to show superior play. In the 67th minute Calais Morimoto scored on a goal-mouth scramble. After the goal the Red Devils turned it up another notch and were perhaps unlucky not to add to their lead. Winners of the regular-
season league pennant with a 12-point advantage over their closest rivals, the Red Devils scored 50 goals throughout the season and cup play while allowing only 10 goals against. They also lost just a single game. In the 2009-10 season the team won the under-21 provincial title as the Richmond Girls Soccer Association Pilots.
Don Fennell photo A team from California made quite a fashion statement at the 2011 Pacific International Cup.
Kaplen sets up equalizer, nets shootout winner by Don Fennell Sports Editor When it comes to scoring back-breaking goals, Shayla Kaplen has often been compared to Argentinian soccer star Juan Riquelme. She showed why Sunday, as her shootout marker lifted the Richmond Rockets under-17 Gold Division girls’
soccer team to 6-5 victory in penalty kicks over Coquitlam in a Coastal Cup playoff match at Town Centre Stadium. The win leaves Richmond as one of eight teams still eligible for the B Cup finals to be played here May 5 and 6. Ti a n n a B l a c h f o rd opened the scoring for Richmond but Coquitlam
fought back and led 2-1 until midway through the second half. Just prior to Richmond’s second goal, coach Raf Perri decided to move Kaplen up to forward from the back line . After Coquitlam had taken a corner kick, the ball was cleared to her and she sent Sarah Olson in for the equalizer. Unable to determine a
winner after two 15-minute overtimes, the match went to penalty kicks. Coquitlam scored on their first three attempts but Richmond matched the effort on goals by Nadia Drissi, Tara MacKinnon and Olson. After both teams missed their next shot, Kaplen stepped up and placed the ball into the corner of the net.
Coached by Mark and Mike Fletcher and managed by Jean Fletcher, the Richmond Red Devils are Ayli Berson, Amanda Veldman (goalie), Caitlyn Lee, Calais Morimoto, Crystal George, Danielle Hurst, Danielle Slater, Ellisa Borthwick, Hillary Andow, Hayley Levinson, Jen Booton, Jen Selles, Kylie Blue, Linda Stutz, Mackenzie Fletcher, Meghan Talbot, Justine (Punky) Oye, Shawn Mercer, Taylor Ross and Taya Mitsehke.

Canada Cup gets B.C. bucks Province gives $75,000 to wheelchair rugby event at oval By Grant Granger Black Press
University of B.C. rowers celebrate their victory in the men’s race at the annual Brown Cup, this year hosted by the Univesity of Victoria.
Thunderbirds reverse fortunes in annual Brown Cup rowing race The long, sometimes gruelling hours of training along the Middle Arm of the Fraser River in Richmond paid off for the University of B.C. men’s rowing team last weekend in Victoria. The Thunderbirds rowed to victory in the 21st Brown Cup, reversing the result of the 2011 event which concluded at the John M.S. Lecky Boathouse. The University of Victoria won the women’s race for a second consecutive year. Like the 2011 race in Richmond, the men’s final was a tight one as the crews batled for the lead over the entire length of the 3,500-metre course. UBC managed to take the lead early,
but the tenacious Vikes would not yield continually pressing back on the Thunderbirds. UBC had up to a length’s lead at the Trestle turn but the Vikes clawed back to within two seats at the finish but it was the Birds at the Johnson Street Bridge finish line just 0.93 up on Victoria, in the closest race in Brown Cup history. This year’s win marks UBC’s fourth in the last eight years in the annual head-to-head competition between the two schools. “Such close finishes makes everyone realize how much the little things matter,” said men’s coach Mike Pearce. “I’m really proud of the work the guys put in to earn the win.”
The thud and clang of colliding industrial-strength wheelchairs echoing through the Bonsor Recreation Centre in Burnaby was silenced long enough Friday afternoon for the provincial government to announce $75,000 toward the 2012 Canada Cup wheelchair rugby tournament. The tourney, which will run June 21 to 23 at the Richmond Olympic Oval, will involve the eight countries that have qualified for the 2012 Paralympics. It will also be the last tournament before the teams head off to London. The Canada Cup, which used to be held at Bonsor, will have a total budget of $500,000 said Kathy Newman, executive director B.C. Wheelchair Sports Association, after the ceremony. Friday’s announcement was made on the opening day of the Vancouver Invitational Wheelchair Rugby Tournament, held on the weekend in Burnaby. Newman said the Canada Cup outgrew Bonsor because the Olympic Games allowed it to generate more attention
special invitations to compete in Symetra Tour tournaments this season. Total season prize money for the 2012 season is $180,000 for three events. Each 36-hole championship purse will be $60,000 with the champion being awarded a $10,000 winners’ cheque. “We’re excited to bring the CN Canadian Women’s Tour back to Richmond Country Club in May for the first time since 2008,” said tournament director Cam Crawford. “The club has hosted several Golf Canada events in
recent years to great acclaim, and the layout of the course will provide a true test of golf for some terrific competitors.” Jessica Shepley of Oakville, Ont. captured the B.C. region CN Canadian Women’s Tour stop over the last two seasons. The two-time defending Jocelyne Bourassa Player of the Year Award winner earned a playoff victory over Joy Trotter in 2011 in Squamish and secured a one-stroke victory over Seema Sadekar, Charlotte Mayorkas, Ryann O’Toole and Lisa Ferrero in Richmond in 2010.

and revenue by moving to the oval. At the last Canada Cup, she said, there were 7,000 students there during the day filling up the bleachers during the week and then sell-out crowds on the weekend. The new money is coming from the 2010 Sport and Arts Legacy fund. B.C. Wheelchair Sports estimates the 2012 Canada Cup will have an economic impact of $1.87 million on
Richmond. “The 2012 Canada Cup Wheelchair Rugby Tournament will bring international athletes to Richmond, creating a wonderful opportunity to showcase the city’s local businesses to the world,” said provincial Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong in a press release. Three of Canada’s top players are Richmondites—Ian Chan, Trevor Hirschfield and Travis Murao.

> Community Movie Night on the Beach at 6 Pack Beach
Around Town Amanda Oye
A
little bit of rain didn’t stop hundreds of people from heading to the beach and enjoying a couple of movies last Saturday night.
It helped, of course, that the beach was indoors. Movie Night on the Beach, presented by SongsWithMyName. com at 6 Pack Beach, was a free event featuring Cars 2 and Puss in Boots. “It was really neat just to see the whole place transformed,” said Barry Law, co-owner of the beach. “Having an open beach … it was a very different look,” he said. The facility, which normally features five full-sized beach volleyball courts, has regular events including ladies nights where women play for free, but this was the first time that they cleared out the courts, creating a fun space for families to come relax and just hang out. “There were so many different faces that [the movie night] brought in,” Law said. “Some of the regulars came down with their families too,” he said. Along with watching the movies, kids had a chance to run around and play in the sand, there was food for sale by donation to the facility’s youth programs and tables were set up where event sponsors could promote their products. Amanda Oye covers the social scene. amanda.oye@telus.net.
