KAMLOOPS, B.
Ashley Williams Jersey .C. - The owner of two hockey teams including the Dallas Stars has been fined $140,000 for polluting a
lake during renovations of his vacation property in Kamloops, B.C.Tom Gaglardi,
47, was found guilty of two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat for
work done in 2010.Gaglardi also owns the WHLs Kamloops Blazers and heads up
Northland Properties, which was convicted on the same charges. His father,
Robert Gaglardi, was found not guilty.Gaglardi refused to comment after
sentencing on Friday. Rob Toor, lawyer for Northland Properties, said its too
early to say whether an appeal will be filed.Were just going to review the
decision and look at our options, he said.During the trial earlier this year,
court heard the Gaglardi family home, known as Toms Shack, was undergoing
extensive renovations.The charges stem from riprap destroyed by workers taking
orders from Gaglardi in the construction of a boat ramp and shoreline trees he
ordered removed from the property.There was an element of wilfulness here, a
desire to get the job done and seek forgiveness later, provincial court Judge
Stephen Harrison said in handing down the fine.Harrison also quoted an expert in
salmon habitats, who testified at trial that the work changed the shoreline on
Gaglardis property from a very good fish habitat to a moonscape.Former Northland
employee and Crown witness Jim Parks said he was ordered to destroy documents
and throw his computer hard drive in the lake when federal investigators began
looking into alleged environmental improprieties at the property.Throughout the
trial, Gaglardi wrote in his notebook, alternating between notes on the
proceedings, Northland business and what appeared to be line combinations for
the Dallas Stars. He also had to be told repeatedly by sheriffs to turn off his
iPhone, which, at one point, he concealed in a book.Court heard it will take
more than 40 years to restore the salmon habitat.I wanted to express my
apologies for what transpired, Gaglardi told the court.The sentence was broken
down so that Gaglardi was fined a total of $10,000. Northland was also fined
$10,000. In addition, both Gaglardi and Northland were ordered to pay $60,000
each to the B.C. Conservation Foundation.The Crown sought a fine of $300,000
while Gaglardis lawyer called for a fine of $50,000 to $75,000. (Kamloops This

late in the third quarter with a bruised rib cage. He had 10 points in 15
minutes. Andre Miller made his return to the Pepsi Center for the first time

coach Brian Shaw. Miller, now a backup guard with the Wizards, was originally
suspended by the Nuggets, but it was later rescinded. Miller stayed away from
the squad until he was dealt to the Wizards on Feb. 20. Both Miller and Shaw
said before the game theyve moved on from the incident. To show it, they shook
hands when Miller entered the game to start the second quarter. "Im sure both of
us didnt take this personal," Shaw said. "Its unfortunate that it had to happen
and neither one of us wanted that to happen but I dont have a problem with him.
I have the most respect for Andre Miller." NOTES: Miller had two points in his
return. ... Denvers bench scored 52 points. Darrell Arthur led the way with 15.
... Asked about the mounting injuries before the game, Shaw said: "I hope its
karma in reverse and that all of the bad stuff is out of the way this year and
everything will be uphill from here on out."
