Nurse wants warning signs posted Cyclist dies from injury at site of fatal cycling crash after fall
Overpass has a steep grade
by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Far too often, she’s seen the injuries resulting from the steep ramp that leads to the Highway 91 overpass at Gates Avenue in East Richmond. Normally, it’s just scrapes and bruises that result from too much speed and too little control on a ramp that’s a hazard for cyclists. But things were different on Tuesday afternoon. Doris (who asked that her last name not be published) said she’ll never forget the sight of two young children, a 12-year-old girl and a sixyear-old boy, as they stood helplessly just a few feet from where their unconscious 63-year-old father lay on the asphalt, blood pouring from his injured head, his tumbled bicycle resting at his feet. It was around 2 p.m. Tuesday, and Doris had just returned home from work at Richmond Hospital, where she’s a nurse on the surgical floor. As she was settling down for bed, Doris’s mother alerted her to a man who had fallen on the ramp leading to the overpass adjacent to their home. Doris went to check, and found a man who’d apparently lost control of his bike, and fallen, his unconscious body sprawled on the ground, and his two children standing nearby, including his crying six-year-old son. It was immediately obvious to Doris that their father’s prognosis was grim, and after calling 911, and the arrival of emergency response, she

turned her attention to consoling the children. They said they lived near McLean Park, not far from where the accident occurred in the community of Hamilton. “It’s horrible,” Doris said of the accident. “The thing that sticks in my mind is that they were there watching him and no helmets...That could have saved his life.” Doris said the ramp is fine for pedestrians, but for inexperienced cyclists, is “very steep.” She said she’d like to see signs posted about the ramp’s hazardous incline, or have
cyclists banned from the overpass entirely, or instructed to dismount. “These people don’t realize you pick up a lot of speeding coming down that hill,” she said. The overpass is under the jurisdiction of the provincial Ministry of Transportation. City of Richmond transportation staff have been in contact with the ministry and asked them to consider the issue of signs and other safety measures and will continue to pursue this issue with them, city spokesperson Ted Townsend said. The man died of his injuries at Roy-
al Columbian Hospital, and the family returned to the scene later Tuesday, including what looked like the man’s wife, another older daughter, nearly 14, and another young man. Doris said it appeared the man was making his way down the ramp, and may have gained too much speed, lost control, and struck the metal side railing, sending him tumbling to the ground. Asked how frequently she sees unhelmeted cyclists, Doris said it’s about a 50/50 split, with the more serious-looking cyclists wearing helmets more often than not.

A sunny afternoon cycling with his two young children ended tragically Tuesday night when a 63-year-old Richmond man suffered a fatal injury when he fell from his bike and struck his head on the ground. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said the tragedy occurred around 2 p.m., as the man and his two children, ages 6 and 12, were out cycling. None of them were wearing helmets, and that proved to be a fatal mistake for the father. As he was making his way across a Highway 91 overpass near Gates Avenue in the East Richmond community of Hamilton, the man lost control of his bike and fell, striking his head on the ground. An off-duty nurse who lives in the area noticed the man had fallen, and told them to call 911 as she helped out. When police arrived, ambulance paramedics and firefighters were already helping. The man was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, while police brought his children and their bicycles home. Once police notified their mother of what happened, they escorted the family to hospital, but tragically the man passed away prior to their arrival. “This is a very sad and tragic event that very likely could have been prevented if a helmet had been worn,” Turley said. “Our condolences are extended to the family and friends of the cyclist. We would also like to thank the off-duty nurse for her assistance and obvious dedication to helping others.”

Bhreandáin Clugston photos Saintfield Wong, Tung Chan, Richmond Public Library board chair Pat Watson and librarian Wendy Jang show off the latest book haul donated by philanthropist Dr. Kwok-Chu Lee.
Library’s receives a book bonanza Dr. Kwok-Chu Lee donates 46,730 books to library by Bhreandáin Clugston Editor Since 1995, Richmond Public Library has
amassed an impressive Chinese language collection thanks to Dr. Kwok-Chu Lee. But last year, the author, businessman, artist, calligrapher and fortune-teller, also known as Master Lam Chun, gave the library a donation that dwarfed his previous generosity. Lee gave 46,730 Chinese books, 200 VCDs and various art works to the library, worth $1 ,195,200 million. The Chinese-language books include art books, psychology, rare texts and more. “We truly have a national treasure on our
hands,” librarian Wendy Jang said. Lee first made his first donation to the library in 1995, when he gave 1,800 Chinese books. Thousands of books and donations followed, including 2001’s donation of $20,000 and 9,436 Chinese books. In total, Lee has given 101,112 items to the library valued at $1,530,351.38. Lee spends most of his time in Hong Kong these days, but will be in town on August 29 for a special recognition ceremony. The library is also launching a series of programs in the celebration of Chinese cul-
ture in honour of Dr. Kwok-Chu Lee based on the major subjects represented in the 2011 donation. There are free activities for adults and kids in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Registration required. Call 604-231-6413 or see www.yourlibrary.ca/whatson.cfm for more info. The program includes talks on learning Mandarin, effective Chinese diet therapies, an introduction to the Book of Changes, an introduction to traditional Chinese medicine and more.

Wife charged in husband’s murder A local woman appeared in Richmond provincial court Thursday morning, facing a single count of second degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of her 38-year-old husband. Pui Chun (Winnie) Poon was charged. Police were called to the couple's condo at 8700 Ackroyd Rd. following a 911 call involving a man who had been stabbed. When they arrived, police found an unresponsive man who appeared to be suffering from wounds consistent with an edged weapon. Both Richmond Fire-Rescue and B.C. Ambulance also attended the scene, but their attempts to revive the man were not successful. The incident appears to be a domestic dispute. A third person, a female friend who was visiting, is not going to be charged, according to Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

Bonus pay reform excludes TransLink, Ferries officials
Our own frozen s blueberrie
Weekend W k d SSpecials i s by Jeff Nagel Black Press A provincial reform limiting bonus payments for Crown corporation executives won’t apply at TransLink or BC Ferries. The move replaces the current bonus systems at Crown agencies with a hold back of up to 20 per cent of executives’ pay, which is released if targets are met. The province also announced a pay freeze for current Crown executives and said said new senior executives will be hired at salaries 10 per cent lower than their predecessors. Incentive pay – publicly unpopular but considered an effective tool in encouraging performance – became a flashpoint in 2009 when it was revealed former Ferries CEO David Hahn’s bonuses and benefits doubled his pay to more than $1 million. Bonuses to TransLink executives were paid out earlier this year but are under a board-ordered review for future years and are also being examined as part of a provincial audit of the transportation authority. Neither agencies are technically Crown corporations so are exempt from the rules. Canadian Taxpayers Fed-
eration spokesman Jordan Bateman called it a “poke in the eye” for taxpayers that TransLink and BC Ferries are untouched. “Those are the organizations most of us are most concerned with,” he said. “You think of David Hahn – the million-dollar man. You think of TransLink giving themselves bonuses the same week they’re raising gas taxes.” Bateman said the two bodies should have a “mor-
al obligation” to voluntarily mirror the new rules. As for other Crowns corporations, Bateman said much depends on whether the actual criteria set for holdback bonuses are easy or difficult to meet. “It’s a positive step forward, but maybe a half step,” he said, noting 99 per cent of BC Hydro employees were able to meet their past targets for incentive pay. “The idea that every person in the public
service should always get a bonus for hitting targets was ridiculous.” The new policy also says executives should earn no more than 85 per cent of the CEO’s salary. The province also intends to phase out incentive pay for other non-executive staff, although it admits it can’t do so in cases where such payments have been negotiated into union contracts, as is the case at ICBC.

Local voices likely for BC Transit board
City Board
by Tom Fletcher
Asphalt paving advisory
Black Press
June 1 to August 31, 2012
Local elected officials should get seats on the BC Transit board and have more say on changes that affect their local service, a review of BC Transit operations has recommended. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom appointed a review team in March after complaints that the provincially appointed BC Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service. The B.C. government pays 47 per cent of costs for BC Transit service in partnership with 58 local governments in B.C. BC Transit has a target to double its ridership to 100 million passenger trips by 2018. When he ordered the review, Lekstrom ruled out any increase in the provincial share of funding. On Tuesday he declined to comment on specific recommendations until they have been reviewed by local communities and discussed at the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention this fall. Recommendations include: • a local government advisory panel to consult on system-wide capital expenditures; • local governments should share information on long-term transit budget changes and land use; • BC Transit should report to municipalities twice a year ridership, cost per capita, passengers per capita and other performance measures.
The City of Richmond has contracted Imperial Paving Ltd. to grind and pave the following location in Richmond from June 1 to August 31: • Knight Street – North and south bound lanes of Knight Street Bridge to Cambie Road Overpass Work hours will be 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Traffic will be reduced to single-lane and there may be temporary lane closures.

Man pleads guilty after gun brought on airplane Weapon had been declared by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A Montreal man who brought a nine-millimetre handgun and ammunition aboard a flight to Vancouver late last year, has pled guilty to five criminal charges and will be sentenced on Sept. 19. Barney Patrick Hynes told The Richmond Review earlier this year that he filled out paperwork, contacted the Montreal Police and alerted airport security about the fact he was bringing his Glock handgun on the plane. To his surprise, after his plane touched down, he was greeted at Vancouver International Airport by Mounties who promptly arrested him following his Dec. 9, 2011 flight. “(Airport security) had some concerns of stuff that was in the baggage so they brought the Montreal Police into it in Montreal, and they checked everything, and they just packed it away and said ‘Let it go,’” Hynes said. On Tuesday, Hynes pled guilty to five charges, including possessing a restricted weapon, possessing a weapon at an unauthorized place, and two counts of careless use of a firearm. Neither Hynes nor his lawyer, Derek Birch, would comment prior to sentencing next month. Hynes said he’s a retired combat engineer for Canadian Forces, and was worried his gun might fall into the wrong hands while his nephew kept an eye on his place while he was on the West Coast
for a planned month-long trip. So he contacted the airline about his plan to have his gun and ammunition shipped in his checked-in luggage. At the airport, he notified security, who then consulted the Montreal Police to ensure everything was above board. Hynes was then given the green light to fly to Vancouver. “When I saw them (RCMP officers) come on the plane, I figured, okay, something’s happened.” The Canadian Air Transport Safety Authority corroborated much of Hynes’ story. “On Dec. 9, screening officers at MontréalTrudeau International Airport observed a possible threat item in a checked bag,” authority spokesperson Miriam Lehman wrote in an e-mail. “As per our procedures, when an undeclared firearm is observed in checked baggage, law enforcement is called to assist. “The Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal cleared the bag and permitted the passenger to proceed. The firearm remained in the passenger’s checked baggage and was not accessible during the flight.” Hynes said he should have done a better job of researching the rules about bringing a weapon with him. “The blame falls, well, some on me, some on CATSA, some on the Montreal Police. CATSA, because they had no idea of the regulations, and that’s what they’re supposed to know and they just passed the buck. Montreal police stationed at the airport should have been aware of the regulations too.”

Faregates to be installed at Japanese all you can eat buffet Bridgeport Station first Free rides may become a thing of the past in Richmond, when TransLink begins work on installing faregates as part of a $171 million program for all Canada Line and SkyTrain stations. Overnight work will begin Aug. 28 on installing the faregates at the Bridgeport Station of the Canada Line, with the installation process not expected to disrupt customers. The paddle-style turnstiles are being introduced simultaneously with the new Compass cards, electronic fare cards that allow riders to load monthly passes, and are detected as they pass through the gates. The faregates were introduced to address the millions of dollars in annual revenues lost from riders who don’t pay or only partially pay.

EDITORIAL: Alberta premier lacks understanding of B.C.
A
lberta Premier Alison Redford doesn’t seem to understand what the fuss is about. She has been feuding with B.C. Premier Christy Clark over the Northern Gateway pipeline, ever since Clark suggested that B.C. does not get enough benefits from a pipeline which would be operated by a company with a spotty safety record in recent years. In addition, the pipeline would traverse many environmentally sensitive areas and would supply tankers which would travel along B.C.’s northern coast — which means additional risks to B.C. Redford was in Vancouver on Tuesday and reiterated that she doesn’t plan to share any of Alberta’s oil wealth with B.C. She added that there needs to be a national energy strategy — something which seems a bit odd coming from Alberta, given its white-hot hatred of the National Energy Program 30 years ago. Redford’s position on sharing energy royalties isn’t unreasonable. B.C. doesn’t share resource revenues with Alberta, or any other province for that matter. But Redford doesn’t seem
The Kalamazoo River in Michigan was the site of a major spill of oil sands crude when an Enbridge pipeline ruptured their nearly two years ago.
to fully comprehend that B.C. is taking the major portion of the risk that this pipeline will bring, with little to show for it. Yes, it would be good to have additional markets for oil. At the same time, Canadians (including Albertans) need to ask what value there is, in the long term, in shipping vast quantities of raw materials overseas.
It’s the same question many Vancouver Islanders ask about the continued shipment of raw logs to China. The export of logs creates a few jobs, but most of the added value from the product is gained in China — not in B.C. This doesn’t seem like a good way to boost the B.C. economy. Redford and her fellow oil
barons need to understand a few facts about B.C. First and foremost, almost all First Nations along the proposed route oppose this pipeline. They have sufficient legal rights to tie up this project indefinitely in court, if not stop it entirely. Second, B.C. residents do not oppose exports. Ports provide many good jobs
here. But they, like most Canadians, also value the environment. B.C.’s environment is a major attraction to many of us, and a big oil spill would be completely unacceptable. Redford needs to be just a little less hard-nosed and more understanding of her neighbours. We should be co-operating, not feuding.
Time, tech right for electronic voting
News Views Martin van den Hemel

f you ask me, a futurist is often little more than a fortune teller with a library card. Their opinions aren’t necessarily any more valid than anyone else’s, but the media tends to gravitate toward them because of the value we place on experience and education. But often, their words are little more than wind.
So it was this morning, on my drive into work, when my jaw hit the floor as I was listening to the Bill Good Show on CKNW, where an “expert” was saying that introducing online voting won’t improve the voter turnout. Really? Hmmm. After analyzing his argument for about 0.5 seconds, I came up with very familiar examples of why he couldn’t be more wrong. My rebuttal argument would centre around two points: people are inherently lazy and timing is everything for technology. Firstly, people are really, really lazy (that includes me). Make it more convenient for them to do even the simplest of tasks, and that’s a winning idea. Case in point: car technology. Yes, inserting your key into the ignition and turning is easy
enough for starting a car, but that didn’t stop the introduction of the now commonplace pushbutton style, keyless car starter. And yes, closing your trunk takes little more than a flick of the wrist, but now people are buying the push-the-button-and-the-trunk-lid-willclose-all-by-itself option. So it stands to reason that if you can build a secure electronic system, where voters are verified for their identities, and it’s easier than driving to the local school, parking, walking up to the voting room, getting in line to check your identification, going to the voting booth, and making your selection...then it stands a chance of being a winner. Now this expert argued there are examples were electronic voting has been introduced elsewhere in the world, and
hasn’t shown to increase voting. And that’s where timing is everything for technology. And the timing has never been more right for online voting. Long before the iPad became the computer tablet of choice for 60 million people—registering more than $40 billion in sales for tech-giant Apple in the last couple of years—another computer company introduced something very similar. Yes, Microsoft introduced the Tablet PC in 2000. You aren’t alone if you didn’t know that; that iteration failed miserably. I’d say that with the current proliferation of smart phones, from iPhones to Blackberries to Android devices, and on-thehorizon technology that will replace all your bulky credit cards, and a smart phone application for nearly every task conceiv-
able, the necessary infrastructure for electronic voting already exists. Those tasked with creating the online voting option need to capitalize on this existing technological infrastructure. Imagine our children, watching us as we vote simply by powering up our iPhone, opening the Voting app, using our FaceTime to verify our identities with our registered B.C. Driver’s Licence photo, and then making a few selections. Making it simple and part of our routine will change the way the next generation views voting. Today, it’s more a chore than a right. Making voting mandatory would be a natural next step. If everyone MUST vote, and nearly everyone has a smart phone...well, do I really need to connect the dots.

Editor: Congratulations to the street artists at the Richmond Maritime Festival. I particularly enjoyed the lovers singing their conversational melodies in a boat near the Britannia cottages. Then the minstrel serenading in the tree and the stilt walker fisher man and his friends added whimsy and humour. But for me, the highlight was the skipping rope trio with their slight of hand rope exchanges, cheerful antics and backflip acrobatics. Great fun. Thank you for everyone who helped make the Richmond Maritime Festival such a success. Brigid Ting Richmond

provide the citizens of Richmond with safe homes and a safe community. It is a great credit to our officers for providing excellent leadership. Initiatives like restorative justice, positive tickets, emphasis on youth and the formation of a multicultural advisory committee are only some of very worthwhile initiatives undertaken by Richmond RCMP. They speak volumes about the dedication of our local police force. Youth is one of the major priorities of Richmond RCMP. In addition to their regular police work with youth, about ten years ago, 25 officers got together to form an organization called Tem Izzat. They have volunteered for numerous hours in helping young people with mentorship, sports and other activities. As part of their School Sports and Onsite Programs, RCMP officers escort youth to Vancouver Canucks and BC Lions games. Similarly, Richmond RCMP’s multicultural advisory committee, launched a few years ago, is another commendable initiative launched by the local police force. This committee consists of a very diverse group of professionals put together to assist the RCMP in providing the best possible service to the citizens. The main objective of this advisory group is to provide direct advice to our police chief and his staff on various matters. These include cultural sensitivity, intercultural harmony and connecting with the public. These types of initiatives have made Richmond as one the most innovative, wellmanaged and progressive communities in Canada. Naturally, it is a matter of great pride for all of us.

Editor: It is rather unfortunate that the RCMP, our national police force has been involved in so many controversies during the past couple of years. From the tragic tasering incidents to inappropriate behaviour by certain members of the force to allegations of sexual harassment and bullying have overshadowed some of the commendable work that a lot of dedicated RCMP officers have been doing. Certainly, this once proud force has its work cut out. Let’s hope that the top management of the RCMP will be able to rectify the situation and restore the force’s image. Like every other organization, RCMP also has some bad apples. Unfortunately the negative publicity they generate, casts a shadow on the entire membership. On the whole, a vast majority of RCMP officers are doing a great job. Take for example, the Richmond RCMP. This federal law enforcement agency consisting of more than 226 well-trained, competent professionals is a credit to Richmond. Richmond RCMP is one of the most culturally diverse forces in the province. Eighty-five of its officers also speak another language in addition to English. As a matter of fact, our local Mounties are well versed in 29 different languages and dialects. These bilingual members assist other units or sections (including IHIT) throughout the Lower Mainland when translators aren’t readily available. This fits well with Richmond as a model of multiculturalism and multilingualism. RCMP’s six guiding principles—integrity, honesty, professionalism, compassion, respect and accountability—reflect very well its dedication to

Wildlife smuggling penalties need to be revisited Editor: Re: “Songbird smuggler tries to bring 30 birds into Canada.” What a joke! This is not even criminal code offence. It is an administrative monetary penalty related to the Health of
Animals Act. Mr. Kwok knowingly violated Canadian laws, which are designed to protect both our wild fowl and domestic poultry industry from avian Influenza, and its more virulent form: H5N1.
If a border dog did not catch him, and those birds were infected with either avian Influenza, or H5N1, the consequences could have been dire. In April of 2004, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered the

slaughter of 19 million birds in B.C. because of avian Influenza. Even birds that tested negative were pre-emptively destroyed. And this individual’s fine for risking B.C.’s poultry industry and wildfowl is $7,500? Canada needs to revisit its penalties for smuggling of wildlife. A good model when looking to tighten laws for smuggling wildlife is Canada’s drug law, which is based on the perceived harm of drugs. The most dangerous drugs are classified as Schedule I, and include PCP, heroin and cocaine. Marijuana is Schedule II drug. The penalty for trafficking a Schedule I drug is up to life in prison; for a Schedule II drug it is up to five years. Surely, our wildlife laws need to have penalties that are reflective of the harm a smuggler can do to our society. If a person smuggling marijuana into Canada can expect five years in prison, Mr. Kwok should see something harsher than $7,500, given the potential harm. Brian Gusko

The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer plays Steveston Blues duo plays concert at Gulf of Georgia Cannery Aug. 17 by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
S
hawn Hall and Matthew Rogers admit their band name might scare some people off. But the duo says they’ve “made their peace with that.” The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer—or HAM as they’re otherwise known—combine blues and rock ‘n’ roll, and have a live show that’s anything but usual. They swing into Steveston Aug. 17. The Vancouver musicians limit their sound to whatever they can play between them—using only their mouths, hands and feet. Hall provides the vocals and blues harp, and Rogers handles the drums and guitar. The co-ordination between instruments— and themselves—is a show in itself, and the duo is proud to boast that it takes just minutes to get soaked with sweat. Music came to Hall when he was 12, living in Toronto. His grandmother gave him a harmonica and a book: Harmonica for the Musically Hopeless. At the same age, on the other side of the country, Rogers was falling in love with the guitar. The pair met in a studio session for a radio jingle advertising the Jamaican Pizza Jerk and decided to embark on a musical project together. A song by Kris Kristofferson referencing the blues harp inspired the “harpoonist” in the band’s name. Rogers, being the guitarist, became “the axe murderer.” The band, one of 20 finalists in the Peak
Performance Project professional development program hosted by a Vancouver radio station, is now touring in support of their 2011 album Checkered Past. It’s the duo’s third album, addressing classic blues themes of heartbreak, addiction and layoffs. The band’s Steveston show is part of the Music at the Cannery summer concert series. The concert, organized by The Beatmerchant record store, begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery. Admission is by donation ($5 suggested); arrive early to get a seat. Coming up in the series: Tommy Alto on Aug. 24, and Swell & Swag and the Swagmen on Aug. 31.

Many a middle aged woman has tried to encapsulate the ravages and celebrations of aging, but none has done so as successfully as Anna Quindlen, whose new memoir Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake, is nothing short of brilliant. Belonging to that not-so-exclusive club of aforementioned women, I can say with certainty that aging is not for sissies. But it does have its advantages, and Quindlen certainly pinpoints those. I need to say right up front that I’m slightly biased, since Quindlen

is one of my all-time favourite authors. (If you haven’t read One True Thing, get thee to a library and start reading!). Her graceful style, her keen eye for those almost invisible details, and her ever present sense of humour put her in a class all her own. Covering all the expected terrain, from girlfriends to childbirth, parenting, physical decline, death, faith, and more, Quindlen shares experiences from her own somewhat charmed life. I know, I know, that sounds like jealousy. But it’s not. The fact is, she’s an uber-successful journalist/author married to a successful attorney. And good on them! It won’t exactly come as news, but we women of a certain age, tend to look back more than we look forward. Recognizing that some of our best years are behind us, we can spend days blathering on about how it used to be “in my day.â€? But blathering does not exist in Quindlen’s vocabulary. She’s eloquent from start to ďŹ nish. I bet it would be an honor just to read her grocery list. Exhibits A, B, C and D from her book: Talking about daughters she writes: “Her girls and my own have something no colorist, no dermatologist, no makeup artist, no surgeon can provide. It’s simple: they look as though they’ve just been taken out of the gift box,
just unwrapped from the tissue and the ribbons. In other words, they’re young.â€? Summarizing the toll that aging takes, she writes: “Gains and losses, I think sometimes as I look in the mirror. That’s my mantra now: gains and losses. I know more but remember less.â€? In her chapter “The Wisdom of Why,â€? Quindlen writes: “We’re unlearning so many lessons, about how we should live, be, work, feel‌. It’s not that we question authority, it’s that we question who gets to be an authority in the ďŹ rst place.â€? And ďŹ nally, out comes the ultimate wisdom: “The older we get, the better we get at being ourselves. We’re not busy being born, but busy being born again‌.As my friend Robin Morgan, the writer and activist, said as she was approaching seventy, “Parts of me I never even knew I had sometimes ache – but parts of me I never knew I had in my brain sing.â€? And yes, that says it all. A remarkable memoir from a stunning writer, so do yourself a favour and read this one. Shelley Civkin is with Richmond Public Library.

community Youth dancers hold auditions The Richmond Youth Dance Company is holding auditions later their month for their third season, and with a limited number of spots available, is uring interested locals ages 10 to 18 to sign up soon. Auditions are from 3:30 to 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 28, and to reserve an audition or assessment spot, e-mail Jennifer Kita at jkita2@richmond. ca or call her at 604-2478324 between Aug. 20 and 22. The auditions will take place at the Richmond Cultural Centre, 7700 Minoru Gate. The upcoming season for the dance company will feature fresh performance opportunities, with company dancers having the opportunity to work with dynamic, internationally-renowned guest artists in various styles of dance. The Richmond Youth Dance Company was created through the Richmond Arts Centre in 2010, and the company’s second season featured a sold-out production of Through the Clouds and performances at the UROC youth awards, and Imaginary Enclave. The program runs September through June. If your young dancer isn’t quite ready to take a crack at the dance company, there’s also the school-year program, with the annual assessment class on Thursday, Aug. 30 from 5 to 7:45 p.m., also at the Richmond Cultural Centre. —by Martin van den Hemel
Richmond Raptor Festival returns to Terra Nova on Aug. 26 Get up close to some of the fabulous birds of prey that make Richmond their home. The Richmond Raptor Festival comes to Terra Nova Rural Park on Sunday, Aug. 26 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Experience breathtaking falconry displays by Pacific Northwest Raptors at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., explore interactive exhibits and activities and learn about birds, including owls and eagles, from local experts. “The birds are a fascinating bunch, each species has its own amazing set of skills and each individual has its own incredible story and quirky personality,” says Robyn Radcliffe of Pacific Northwest Raptors. “People always want to know
why our birds don’t fly away – on occasion, they go on adventures to return later – it comes down to them realizing life is easier with us. Raptors always want to conserve energy, which means that receiving free meals and health care, and having admiring fans watching them every day, is not too bad.” This popular free event, hosted by the City of Richmond, is expanded this year to include participation from a broad range of conservation organizations. The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society will present a talk at 12:30 p.m. Later, David Hancock, of the Hancock Wildlife Foundation will present an eagle talk at 2:30 p.m. Terra Nova Rural Park is located at

back to school
Classroom layout can affect learning When school begins anew, students are often excited about seeing their friends again and spending time with classmates they will be learning alongside all year. Though who a student sits next to in class is important to students for one reason, teachers have different motives behind classroom seating arrangements. Classroom layout plays a role in how students learn, concentrate and behave. Before the school year begins, teachers may establish a seating and learning environment unique from other classes. Throughout the school year, adjustments may be made in the best interest in children. According to Scholastic, oftentimes elementary school-aged children learn best when they’re allowed to move throughout the classroom. Learning stations that allow such movement have become more popular in classrooms. One station may cater to auditory learning, while another may feature manipulatives that is ideal for students who thrive by learning with tangible items. Computer stations are also common, and this variety of stations breaks up the monotony of one type of learning by keeping students interested and engaged. Some teachers prefer to arrange desks in different fashions depending on the teachers' teaching styles. The design of long rows of desks all facing the front of the classroom is not always practical for students or teachers. It can be difficult for teachers to see students in the middle or the back of the room, while students may find it difficult to concentrate on learning if they’re staring at the backs of other classmates’ heads. Common desk layouts include grouping a few desks together to face one another for collaborative lessons. Some teachers prefer a U or circle layout to encourage discussions. Students prefer different environments in which to learn, and teachers may be wise to create different scenarios inside of the classroom. An isolated cubicle or desk shielded by bookcases can be a good retreat spot for a child who likes quiet for personal study. Other students like to study and work together, so a round group table may be the ideal place for them to gather. Hard seats, hard desks and the same location over and over can sometimes be uncomfortable. Teachers with novel educating styles may prefer to switch environments from time to time to keep students’ minds engaged. For example, they may take science lessons outside for children to learn first-hand about nature or animals. Some designers and architects also have views on how classrooms should be designed. In 2011, the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture, with offices in Sydney, Stuttgart and Shanghai, designed a concept for the “classroom of the future.” It’s a prefabricated and portable classroom unit that integrates into the landscape while enhancing the learning environment. The materials are cost-effective and sustainable. Classroom environments may once have been about rigid rows of desks where all eyes were focused on the blackboard. But today teachers and innovators have realized the benefits of switching things up to tap students’ learning potential. From the use of smartboards and computers to the rearrangement of seats, variety in the classroom is often advantageous to students.

No range anxiety with the Chevrolet Volt by Lorne Drury
Chevrolet Volt 2012 At A Glance
Special to Black Press Could I live with the car on a daily basis? That was the key question I had before a recent weeklong road test of the 2012 Chevrolet Volt, a car that Chevrolet touts as a “breakthrough” and a “game-changer” in the automotive world. Yet during my week with the car, I was amazed at how little many people actually know about it despite all the publicity it has garnered. People I ran into think of the Volt as purely an electric car and are surprised when I tell them it also has a gasoline engine to generate power. “Oh, so it’s a hybrid,” they say. “No, not really,” I reply, getting that funny look as if I have two heads. I explain that the Volt is an “extended range” car that melds together features of both gas-electric hybrids and all-electric vehicles. It is similar to an electric car in that it has a l6 kWh lithium-ion battery that can be recharged in 10 hours when plugged into a normal 120-volt household outlet. Special charging stations using 240-volt outlets are available for installation in household garages and they cut charge times to four hours. On a complete charge, the Volt will have a range of up to 80 km in all-electric mode. Unlike gas-electric hybrids, the gasoline engine doesn’t kick in when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed— the car runs solely on battery power at any speed until the battery charge is depleted.
BODY STYLE: Extended range electric sedan. DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, front-wheeldrive. ENGINE: 110 kW primary motor; 55 kW secondary motor, 1.4-litre DOHC inline fourcylinder for a combined 150 hp and 273 lb/ ft of torque FUEL ECONOMY: All-electric 22.3 kWh/100 km city/22.3 kWh/100 km highway; gasoline 6.7L/100 km city, 5.9L/100 km highway using premium unleaded gasoline. CARGO CAPACITY: 300 litres PRICE: Base price $41,545, as tested $45,585 including $1,450 freight and PDI. I recharged the battery several times during the test period and was able to get 62 km on average in electric mode during extremely hot mid-July weather. When battery power is depleted, a 1.4-litre gasoline engine kicks in. It operates a generator to create more battery juice, which in turn will give the Volt a driving range of another 500-plus km. Thus, unlike a full electric car, the fear of running out of battery power (range anxiety as it is called) is eliminated in the Volt. The heart of the car is Chevrolet’s Voltec system, which transforms energy stored in the battery into mechanical force. It uses two drive motors (one smaller than the other), a gasoline-powered engine generator, three clutches and a planetary gear set. Regenerative braking in the Volt also captures energy that otherwise would be
The 2012 Chevrolet Volt – the world’s first electric vehicle with extended range – can drive between up to 80 kilometres on electric power alone and then keep going, thanks to the 1.4L gasoline-powered on-board generator.
lost as the car slows down and stops. So, how does the Volt work in the real world? Even with several lengthy commutes, I was able to average between 5.5 and 6.0L/100 km during my week with the car in mostly high-speed highway driving. But I’m not the average commuter. General Motors says 78 per cent of United States commuters travel less than 40 miles a day and 29 per cent travel only 2-10 miles a day. Canadian numbers should be similar. So, limit your driving to about 60 km or less a day and you’ll never have to pay for
gasoline, just the cost of electricity for a recharge, which is estimated at under $1.50 for a full charge. The Volt is a good-looking vehicle, not spectacularly styled but sleek and aerodynamic allowing it to slice through the air as efficiently as possible. With 273 lb/ft of instantaneous torque it gets up to speed in a hurry, covering 0-96 km/h in less than nine seconds. This is no slug like some green cars with a top speed of 160 km/h. You have the option of selecting one of Normal, Sport or Mountain drive modes.

2012 Jaguar XJ roars with grace
After 15 years on No 3 Road,
ACCENT LEASING is moving to
by Jim Robinson
5791 MINORU BLVD.
Special to Black Press
in Richmond.
The new office is more centrally located and easily accessible.
Instantly recognized as a Jaguar, the 2013 XJ premium sedan (XJL Supercharged shown) distills all the virtues of English traditional values or what Jaguar calls “Grace, Space and Pace”.
Step out of the 2012 Jaguar XJL and its slogan “Grace, Space and Pace” sums up the car perfectly. Wonderfully fitted out with real wool carpets, cool-to-the-touch chrome metal surrounds on the air vents and switchgear and rich, deep walnut veneers, it is also deceptively fast. One of the drawbacks of the big XJ sedans was styling. From the 1986 XJ6, they looked basically the same as Jaguar concentrated on the XK sportscars, the S-Type and more recent XF mid-size sedan. While is it still unmistakably a Jaguar, the current XJ is styled by Ian Callum, one of the truly great car guys anywhere. The nose expands upon the mesh grate look of the XF while the taillights flow from the rear forward to blend into the wonderful catwalk design cue that starts just above the front fender and flows straight back over the rear fender flanks. The 2012 XJ is offered in three trim levels (XJ, XJ Supercharged, XJ Supersport), each available in standard and “L” or long wheelbase models. Motive power for all three is Jaguar’s long-serving 5.0-litre DOHC V8. In its latest Gen III iteration, it produces 368 hp (380 lb/ft of torque) in the normally aspirated XJ. The XJ Supercharged puts out 470 hp (424 lb/ft) while the Supersport, which is also supercharged, raises the ante to 510 hp (461 lb/ft). Fuel consumption is 13.1/8.5L/100 km city/ highway and 14.1/9.3L/100 km for the Supercharged and 18.3/8.7L/100 km for the Supersport. When it comes to the pace part, the 2013 XJs accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.7. 5.2 and 4.9 seconds respectively with a top speed limited to 250 km/h. Prices start at $88,000 and range up to $135,500, not counting the $1,350 destination fee. For the driver, there is a sense of always being in control but there is something so very space age about the virtual main gauges a glance away from the centre dash mounted analog clock. That oozes the essence of what a Jaguar is, should be and has always been. And that’s why a Jaguar is such a wonderful distillation of all its years as the embodiment of Grace, Space and Pace.

auto review Subaru updates Outback, Legacy for ’13
FESTIVAL SQUARE A NEIGHBOURHOOD SHOWCASE A great place to relax and unwind while enjoying thousands of exhilarating musicians, dynamic dancers and special guests from across BC.
by Lorne Drury Special to Black Press Subaru is proud to be different. As Ted Lalka, Canadian vice-president of product planning and marketing explained, Subaru is “an attractive alternative to the mainstream brands.” What makes the Japanese automaker different? For one, all of its models come standard with Subaru’s acclaimed symmetrical all-wheel drive system. And, being a relatively small automaker, Subaru is able to do a lot with a little, spinning several models off the same platform. An example is the 2013 Subaru Outback and Legacy models, both very successful vehicles with combined sales of about 10,000 units a year (about 70 per cent Outback) in Canada last year. The mid-size Legacy sedan and the Outback crossover SUV that combines car-like handling and SUV versatility have undergone extensive changes for 2013—the first major facelifts for them since the last full model change in 2010. Chief among the updates is a more powerful and more fuel-efficient power plant—a 2.5-litre DOHC boxer four-cylinder engine that replaces a SOHC 2.5-litre boxer four-cylinder. Power jumps to 173 hp from 170 and torque rises to 174 lb/ft from 170. Combined with a new CVT transmission, the Outback now accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds and the Legacy in 9.3 seconds compared with 10.2 and 9.5 seconds respectively in the outgoing models. Meanwhile, fuel economy has been improved eight per cent across the board, with the Outback now rated at 8.6/6.5L/100 km city/hwy and the Legacy 8.4/6.0L.100 km city/hwy with the CVT. The Legacy is also offered with a six-speed manual transmission on the Base and Touring trims, while the top-level Limited gets a five-speed auto-

matic, paired with either the 2.5-litre four banger or a 256 hp 3.6-litre boxer six-cylinder engine. Prices start at $23,495 for the Base model with manual transmission, down $500 from last year. Add $1,300 for the CVT. At the top end, a Limitedtrim Legacy with the EyeSight driver assistance system (more about that later) is priced at $36,195. The Outback starts at $28,495 for the 2.5i Convenience with six-speed manual or $29,795 for the automatic. At the top trim level, an Outback Limited with the 3.6-litre engine and EyeSight option is priced at $39,995. On the styling front, the Legacy has a stronger, sharper look while the Outback has a more aggressive appearance. All this results from new headlight, grille and front bumper re-dos. Inside, both models have a higher quality feel with new seat fabric and wood trim elements available. Drivability of both vehicles has also been improved through increased body stiffness and chassis improvements, resulting in reduced body roll, better handling and ride quality.

Kigoos have lofty goals in Hub City Top-three finishes well within reach for Richmond swimmers at summer provincials by Don Fennell Sports Editor The Richmond Kigoos have had a couple of weeks to soak up their success at the Fraser South Regional Swimming Championships at Watermania. Now their focus is on capping the summer season with an equally strong showing at this weekend’s provincial meet, which begins Friday in Nanaimo. “I’m hoping we will continue to build on what we saw at regionals, w h e re w e had quite a staggering number of athletes (63) put themselves in position to see some real success— top three if not gold medals—at provincials,” said Kigoos’ head coach Fraser Roberts. Of the 143 Kigoos who competed at regionals, 100 of them placed in the top three in at least one of the events. But as impressive as that statistic is, Roberts said it speaks even more to how wellrounded the club’s swimmers have become. The club’s overall success can also be attributed to the many activities it holds outside of the pool. Perhaps the best-
known of these is climbing the Grouse Grind, a tradition that began 20 years ago. But now it’s part of a two-week exercise known as Health Week from mid to late July. A celebratory dinner awaits the athletes who complete the grueling test of endurance that also includes pool sessions, dryland training and a junior triathlon. Health Week helps the swimmers establish peak strength, endurance and discipline for the regionals and provincials. Roberts said it also furthers the bonds between the athletes and their coaches. “This year especially we really stepped up the challenges in terms of their training, offering a wider variety of training opportunities,” he said. “Instead of just swimming, we introduced more cross-training and our senior swimmers for the last two months have been engaged in total body conditioning programs twice a week in conjunction with their swim practices.” The results have been both positive and obvi-

ous. Swimmers’ times have dropped, in some instances significantly. But more important, said Roberts, is “their confidence is that much
higher.” “I think many are more aware now of their athletic ability and that’s what has helped them become more competi-
tive and better athletes,” he said. Roberts said there’s been almost 100 per cent attendance from the senior athletes, which
the younger swimmers have been anxious to emulate. “And when the younger kids see that intensity and commitment in the

Ask the Experts Q: What are some key points to consider
Q: Why are Appraisers qualified, in terms of experience and expertise, to perform Strata Reserve Fund Studies or Depreciation Report Work?
when buying a strata property?
A:
A:
Although there are several groups of professionals who are capable of performing reserve fund studies/depreciation Reports and reserve fund study panning services, appraisers specifically share an interest in real property knowledge, building and improvement expertise whether it is construction, maintenance, management or valuation of the physical state of condominium corporations. Appraisers can identify value impacts of well kept and managed strata complexes as well as strata complexes that possess deferred maintenance issues. One of the very first groups providing Depreciation reports in the early 1970’s were insurance appraisers. Appraisers perform Depreciation Report analysis as an adjunct or addendum to insurance appraisals in some cases. In the Case of Campbell & Pound Appraisers, the firm always includes a savings to the client in the form of Insurance Appraisal Service and updates in conjunction with the Depreciation Report. Appraisers are uniquely qualified to perform Depreciation Reports as their education, training, and expertise involves not only investigation, analysis and replacement costing of building components and improvements, but also the financial analysis and projections of financial performance in real estate investment analysis. Appraisers are well versed in depreciation analysis of buildings and improvements, which is directly applicable to the life cycle analysis in Depreciation Report Studies.

Location: Does it suit your wants/needs? Condition of building: Have major upgrades been done like the roof, boilers, rainscreen? Condition of suite: What age are the appliances? Windows? Read the Minutes for at least two years: look for neighbouring suites causing issues…noise etc Study the financial statements and the Contingency Fund: What building issues are coming up? Is there money to pay for them? How big is big enough? Will your furniture fit? Piano? King size bed ? What are good ‘resale’ features? Like great floorplan, plenty of storage, insuite laundry…. Is it priced fairly for ‘this’ market? Ask your Realtor for recent comparable sales Is a parking spot and a locker included? Excellent resale features Do any of the Bylaws cause you concern? Are pets ok? Can you put hardwood down? Can you remove that wall? Can you rent? Are the monthly fees ‘reasonable’? And what do they include? Gas, water, amenities, parking, cable…. How noisy or hot is the suite at different times of the day? See the unit at different times to answer this Never be afraid to ask these types of questions before you sign anything. Ask now, or ‘live with it’ later. All of this information and more is readily available to you, and making an informed decision is the smart way to go. If you need guidance in the purchase of a strata property, I will ask these questions for you. Just ask Deb.
Q:
I have regular eye examinations?
A:
A:
Diabetes can cause various health problems, and affects the eyes in the form of diabetic retinopathy, a condition in which blood vessels in the eye bleed and damage the retina, the lining in the back of the eye. In the early stages of diabetic retinopathy, these blood vessels may swell and leak fluid. In more advanced stages, oxygen to the retina becomes constrained causing new abnormal blood vessels to grow and cause further leakage and bleeding. There are usually no visual symptoms early in the disease; however, in later stages, symptoms may include seeing spots or floaters, difficulty with night vision, seeing shadows, having blurred vision, and eventually blindness. The longer a person has diabetes, and the less managed the disease, the more likely it is that he or she will develop diabetic retinopathy. To minimize your risk, ensure that you maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet and exercise regimen, adhere to any prescribed medication, and comply with regular doctor visits and eye examinations.

My legs and feet ache and feel tired all the time. Sometimes, they are even swollen. What can I do?
Tired, achy legs accompanied by swelling in the legs, ankles or feet are symptoms of poor circulation associated with vein disease. Often, the first signs of vein disease is pain in the legs accompanied by a tired, heavy feeling. This heaviness is an indication that there is a problem with blood return to the heart. Left untreated, vein disease can lead to varicose veins, ulcers and blood clots. Those who would benefit the most from treatment include those sitting or standing for long periods of time, those who are pregnant (pregnancy can lead to excessive swelling), or those with active swelling.

Therapeutic compression socks are the most effective method of providing relief from poor circulation in the legs. Compression is used to support the vein walls, prevent blood pooling, and boost blood circulation, leaving the feet and legs less tired and less painful. As a result, compression socks can also reduce the incidence of varicose and spider veins. I often recommend Dr. Segal’s 15-20 mm Hg Graduated Compression Socks. They are easy to get on, extremely comfortable, and are very effective. They are also the only compression socks on the market with exciting fashion flare.

Q:
Q: Do dental xrays cause brain tumors? A:
There was a recent study (from the Yale School of Public Health in the US) which reported they found a relation between people who have had frequent dental xrays also had an increased risk of benign meningioma (type of brain tumor). These researches compared 1433 people who had this type of tumor with 1350 people who did not. All patients were asked, among other things, about their history of dental treatment and the number of times they had specific dental xrays throughout their life. They found the tumor group more than twice as likely as the comparison group to report having frequent bitewing xrays taken. They concluded those who had these xrays yearly or more frequently were at 40 to 90 percent higher risk to be diagnosed with a brain tumor. However, there was no apparent increase in risk or association of tumor diagnosis for people who had frequent full mouth series (multiple) of xrays. “That inconsistency is impossible to understand to me”, said an expert with the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. This inconsistency calls into question the conclusions from this particular study. It implies that fewer bitewing type xrays may cause more problems than many or multiple xrays over many years which would be unlikely. It should also be pointed out that all of the subjects of the study had their xrays done over many years when exposure levels were much higher than they are today. In any case, you only need dental xrays if there is a clear indication to take them and likely no more than once per year or so. In any case you have to be careful how researchers come to their conclusions and especially how the media interprets them. In other words maybe it “it ain’t necessarily so.” This headline hit the media earlier this year and raised a lot of eyebrows at the time.

REVIEW 2012
Each child is born with certain traits. Who they become will determined partially by their parents and other caregiver behaviours. This is only a guide line to determine which category your child may “fit”. As I mentioned in the last issue of Ask the Expert, there are typically three types of children personalities. The “slow to warm up child”, the “easy” child and the “difficult” child. Your son seem to “fit” into the category of the “difficult” type. Generally, children who display an angry, whiney, aggressive, defiant, critical and controlling behaviours are children who like to stay in control, it is lack of control that scares them. Adapting to new routines can be hard for them. They get used to “things” and can find it impossible to give them up. They may use aggression to get what they want. The best way to handle children of this type is with kindness and with patience. Never ignore bad behaviour, be firm but be gentle. Set clear boundaries, be consistent and be kind. Address the issue, not the child. The process of helping your child deal with his emotions in a more appropriate ways is long and hard, but yields results at the end. Example: On your last visit to the store, your son saw a “Hot Wheels” and wants it “badly”, you said “no, or ignore his pleas”, he naturally throw a tantrum that makes you want to scream - you don’t! Instead, you will go down to his eye level and calmly and gently you say “I can see that you are upset right now, and I wish I could make you feel better, but unfortunately I cannot buy it because (give truthful reason). By using the proper words to describe his feeling, you enriched his vocabulary, and you helped him feel valued and respected. Reasoning and negotiating is helpful as well. You can offer your child a toy that you kept on the top shelf for occasions like this, or a visit to the park instead. Remember, even if your first inclination is to get angry, take a minute, count to 10 and then talk to your child. It may take him a few minutes to calm down, but it will be faster then the alternative. Also remember to address the issue, talk about it after he calms down, set clear boundaries and expectations before you leave home.

Q: What’s my beef of the year? A:
Telcos. The big telco’s have seen the wrong end of my veteran army boots in past ads but I’ve not seen any real change in attitude. Per text message costs outside Canada are still way out of line. But here’s my latest beef and it is far worse than you can imagine. Go travel in places like Europe or Asia with your smart phone on roam and you’ll get a bill in the thousands of dollars for just a few minutes of internet air time. $10 and up per megabyte, even on plans, is what they charge and that is just highway robbery. Crank up your Facebook account, look at just a few pictures scrolling by and bingo, you’ve just run up a $30-40 dollar bill in a few seconds. Do that for an hour you’ve spent your air fare home. It’s sickening and it’s just unadulterated greed. And where’s our government on this issue? Planning to do the same thing to us with private health care by the looks of it. Solutions? It’s time we did an ICBC on at least one of these major telcos — and haul the rest of the greedy buggers into a public enquiry. Amuleta does investigations — and yes we investigate CEOs too....

This style of gas sand pan was very popular several years ago and there is a lot of interest in updating them but unfortunately the answer is “no”. You can clean the logs, refresh the sand, and add glowing embers but these appliances were designed to be operated with the sand base and pre-made logs by the manufacturer. Changing this configuration can create problems in the combustion of the gas and subsequent problems of overheated gas valves or poor drafting up the chimney. The intention of these sand pans was to have the convenience of an easy-to-light fire without the use of wood. They were never designed to be a heat source. Because the gas codes require the damper to be fixed open and should never be closed, having doors installed onto your fireplace opening will allow you to minimize any cold downdrafts that may occur. Please remember that these doors must be open to some extent to let the fire breathe from the room while exhausting up the chimney. Feel free to stop by The Richmond Firebox to see the newest version of the decorative gas log sets or, if you truly need heat, a wide selection of heat efficient gas inserts.

Q:
Q: My child suffers from headaches and I was wondering if chiropractic would help. A: There is a wealth of research that links vertebral subluxations (misalignments of the spinal bones) in the neck with head pain. Chiropractors are the only ones trained to correct vertebral subluxations with safe and effective maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments. Pediatric patients will often receive special adjusting techniques that are very gentle to accommodate their developing spines. If your child suffers from head pain consider the toll this condition may be taking on his or her quality of life, school performance and future success. Rather than dealing with symptoms in isolation or masking them with drugs, chiropractors uncover the underlying root of the patient’s headaches and work to stop them at the source. Don’t let your child become a statistic and add to the estimated 10 million youngsters who suffer from chronic head pain. Determine the cause of child’s headaches by scheduling an appointment for a chiropractic evaluation.
An effective strength and conditioning program will allow you to BOTH build muscle and strength WHILE losing fat. The key is to continue to incorporate compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, presses, and chinups that will help to build muscle and strength, high intensity cardiovascular exercise to further elevate your metabolism and maintain a well-balanced low calorie diet to lose weight and body fat. It is also important to give yourself time to achieve your desired goals. You can realistically expect to gain 1-2lbs of lean muscle per month while you can lose 1-2lbs of body fat per week. The net result will be a slight decrease in overall scale weight but a huge change in body composition and muscle tone.

Q: I want to start my grandchild collecting
We carry the official post office yearbooks from 2011 going back to 1980. The last 10 years are still selling at official issue price. These books contain every stamp for the year with a great write up on the reason for the issue and lots of full colour pictures. Perfect for the beginner or advanced collector. After that, I would recommend a stamp stockbook for them to put any new stamps in, that they get given to them. We have stockbooks starting at $10.95 for an eight page album, with a range of other sizes up to 32 pages at $49.95. We also carry pages that fit into any three-ring binder. These vario pages are double-sided and come five per package for $5.95.

We just bought our first home and got a mortgage with a 5% down payment - so it needed to be insured. Am I correct in thinking that we are covered if either of us gets sick or injured and can’t make a payment? Or if either of us die, the mortgage is paid off?

First off, congratulations on your new house! To answer your question simply, the answer is NO! The type of insurance you are talking about is called ‘High Ratio’ mortgage insurance and it does not cover you for death and/or disability. High ratio insurance is to protect the lender against a borrowers default. This should’ve been discussed in detail by your bank or broker at your first meeting or the very latest, at the time of arranging your mortgage financing. In order to be covered for loss of life protection or disability protection, then you will need to speak with an insurance advisor directly. They can offer the various products to cover you incase of injury and/or death. There are other types of insurance that can be associated with mortgages & financing that you should be aware of as well. Those are: Property Insurance – Protects your property against such things as theft, fire, earthquake, water damage, liability, etc Title Insurance – Protects your home against title defects as well as from mortgage fraud on your remaining equity. Call us if you would like further information! Chad & Tom

Bhullar looks to future with renewed optimism Sports Editor Arjan Bhullar is planning a long break away from the mat. He’s never stepped away from wrestling for any length before, having devoted the majority of his 26 years to the pursuit of excellence. “I went from being on the Simon Fraser University team to immediately being on the Canadian national team, and have been grinding ever since,” said the Richmond man, who last week realized a childhood dream of competing at the Olympic Summer Games in London. “The Olympic experience, outside of competing and my result (he was eliminated in his opening bout in the men’s 120-kilogram men’s freestyle division), was a positive one and something I’m going to remember forever,” he said. “The opening ceremony was especially significant for me. Walking out there in front of 80,000 people—and billions watching from around the world—I was extremely grateful and very proud. I was proud to represent my country, and proud to represent my Sikh people.” Bhullar said London put on an excellent Games and were gracious hosts. And he said the vibe in the Athletes’ Village was electric. See Page 26

Q: Is it really ‘flushable’? A:
‘What is flushable?’ is generally a question that children ask when they are playing around and want to see what can be flushed down the toilet. However, adults are just as much at fault when it comes to clogging toilets that have to be professionally rescued. It’s really amazing how many calls we have received over the years because of what people have decided to flush down their toilets. There is a whole list of items that you should not flush down your toilet, but there is a simple rule to follow: Only use the toilet for its intended purpose. Honestly, you do not want to have a toilet clogged while you call a plumber and wait for them to take the time to come to your home in an emergency. After our 25 years in the field, here are some of the things that we have had to retrieve in order to get a homeowner’s toilet working again: Lids from spray cans, glasses, paper towels, Q-tips, feminine products, diapers, toys, false teeth and, would you believe, even cell phones? At Ashton Service Group, we have definitely seen it all. So do yourself a favour and throw everything that isn’t flushable in the garbage. That way, you will only see us when you want to upgrade your toilet or sink or faucet.

From Page 25 “Being among the best athletes from around the world, having lunch with Usain Bolt and the Jamaicans, or hanging around the U.S. basketball team.... it was all a hell of an experience.” Bhullar was confident and excited prior to his first match against Iran’s Komeil Ghasemi, who went on to win the bronze medal. He had more than 40 family members in the stands cheering him on, along with the rest of Team Canada, and countless others watching anxiously back home. “Obviously the match didn’t go as I had planned, and that is very disappointing,” he said. “I trained my whole life for that moment and it didn’t work out. I was right there with the best in the world and truly felt I could bring back a medal for my country. (But) I am grateful for being able to have a shot and that’s something a lot of people don’t get.” Bhullar hopes to take more positives from the Olympic experience includ-

stumbles....those that are still there are the ones that really count,” he said. While his Olympic debut may not have gone as he’d hoped, Bhullar’s passion remains strong. He still has the desire to compete and is still young enough to do so. He’ll only be 30 when the next Summer Olympics

are held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. “That may be an option but something I’m going to have to think about with the people closest to me,” he said. There are many other opportunities too, such as pursuing a career in mixed martial arts. Another longheld ambition is to open a wrestling school in Richmond. “I have gained so much from wrestling and from this community, I feel this would be a good way to give back to both,’ Bhullar said. “My aim would be to not only create champion athletes, but go beyond that scope and create champion men and women. I don’t think one should limit themselves and just look to excel in sport. Excel at everything you do. Be a champion in every sense of the word. We would preach being a champion student, a champion son/daughter, a champion friend, a champion citizen of the community.” Just like Bhullar, who is certain “the best is yet to come.”
