Johnny Tai, who has been blind since he was three-years-old, was robbed by someone claiming to be a repairman.
“I want to let people like this know that they can’t get away with it and I won’t take this lying down,” he said. “But it’s a very jumbled feeling when someone screws you over and you can’t even tell the police what they look like. That plays hell with your self-esteem. “I feel very angry, because I’ve managed to defend myself all my life. This time I didn’t even get a chance to do that.” Tai said he has his suspicions of who it might have been and has passed that information to the police. Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, of Richmond RCMP, confirmed the incident was reported on Saturday night and that they’re still investigating it.

Jasmine, a dancer with the Richmond Youth Dance Company, rehearses ahead of the final show to be held Jan. 28-29 at the Richmond Cultural Centre. She will join 20 other dancers ranging in ages from nine to 17 in their first public performance called First Wings. For more photos look online at www.richmond-news.com.
He’s been blind since he was three and has repelled more would-be robbers in his 29-year-old life than he cares to remember. But Johnny Tai didn’t expect a crook to stoop to a new low by tricking his way into his rented basement suite and stealing a precious martial arts knife collection from right under his nose. The thief rang Tai’s doorbell around 8 p.m. Saturday night, purporting to be helping the new tenant upstairs and an electrician with a hydro problem. He told Tai — who was aware a new tenant had moved in upstairs — he needed to inspect his suite for any electrical problems. The stranger’s story made sense and, while he moved around Tai’s home, he asked all the right questions and appeared to know a lot about Tai himself. “The person that came to the door addressed me by name, knew all the right things to say and knew there was a new tenant upstairs,” he said. “They had a lot of information. All the while, I could hear him on the phone to someone and he was using a strange accent. It wasn’t Mandarin or Cantonese though.” After about 20 minutes, the man told Tai he couldn’t find anything wrong and left. And it wasn’t until later the same evening that Tai began to suspect something was amiss. “I phoned my landlord and asked him about the utility bill and he said he hadn’t even received it yet,” Tai told the News on Monday from his Seacliff Road home in Richmond’s Shellmont neighbourhood. “I quickly went through the place and realized that four or five of my knives had been taken. “It makes me wonder if I should answer the door at all and whether I should be friends with my neighbours.” Tai said that he’s now dealing with a range of emotions, from disbelief to anger.

‘Man in Motion,’ Richmond’s Rick Hansen, waves en route to lighting the community cauldron at the O Zone on a memorable night last year.
If you were lucky enough to carry the Olympic Torch through Richmond last year, you’re being asked to step up and take a bow at the Winterfest Weekend. As part of next month’s festival, the City of Richmond is saluting the torchbearers that participated in the Olympic Torch Relay last winter. Richmond’s Olympic Torch Relay celebration took place on Feb. 9, 2010, three days prior to the Opening Ceremonies. Richmond hosted one of the largest community celebrations across the country and thousands of residents lined the streets to catch a glimpse of
the Olympic Flame as it passed by. Another 25,000 people visited the O Zone to watch Rick Hansen light the community cauldron. If you are one of the 70 torchbearers who carried the Olympic Flame in Richmond, or if you are a Richmond resident who carried the torch anywhere in Canada, then the city wants to hear from you. You will be invited to take part in a special Olympic torchbearer procession and recognition ceremony at the Richmond Olympic Oval on Saturday, Feb. 12, between 4 and 6 p.m. For more information, email torchbearer@richmond.ca or call 604-2388430.
Relive the magic of the Games at Winterfest Canadian Olympic medallists, top bands and mascot lined up for return of festival
A showcase of sport and culture will celebrate the winter season, when the popular annual Winterfest Weekend returns to the Richmond Olympic Oval Saturday Feb. 12 and Sunday Feb. 13. This year’s festival will also mark the first anniversary of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, including the chance to skate with some Olympic champions. On Feb. 12, Olympic speed skating medallists Kristina Groves and Denny Morrison will be on hand for special Skate With A Champion free public skating sessions on the oval’s two Olympicsized ice sheets. A special appearance by snowboarder Alexa Loo, Richmond’s own 2010 Olympian, is also scheduled. “We’re pleased to welcome back some of the heroes of the
2010 Games and to celebrate what hosting the Olympics mean for Richmond,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie “The oval is one of the premier legacies of the Games and we’re proud to mark the first anniversary of the Games in a place which provided some many incredible moments for Richmond, Canada and our guests from around the world.” On the main stage, entertainment such as Five Alarm Funk and Glee-style entertainment from the Showstoppers and the Jardines will run throughout the day. There is also ice sport demonstrations, interactive sport activities, special cultural presentations, art displays and sales and children’s activities. “This is a great opportunity for our community to enjoy every-
thing that the Oval has to offer. It’s truly a venue that offers something for everyone,” said Brodie. “We’ve invited all our community sport and cultural groups to join with us and they’ll be presenting some great family entertainment and fun activities.” Festival goers can also meet John Furlong, the man most responsible for the success of the 2010 Games, as he launches his new book about his Olympic experience. Winterfest’s special 2010 Games Zone will feature a variety of interactive displays and activities, including displays of Olympic memorabilia from the BC Sports Hall of Fame and the popular Immersadome bobsleigh virtual simulation from the BC Lotteries Games Dome at the Richmond O Zone.
Coca-Cola will also present a display of Olympic memorabilia, along with a visit by the popular Coke polar bear mascot, product sampling and an Olympic pin giveaway. Festival goers can also relive the history of the Games through a special display of Vancouver Sun front pages and the City of Richmond Archives’ special photographic exhibition from the Richmond O Zone.

Dhillon’s Order of B.C. queried FILE PHOTO
BY ANDY IVENS
Peter Dhillon says he’s done ‘absolutely nothing wrong,’ when it comes to helping Kash Heed’s election campaign.
Postmedia News
The NDP’s Mike Farnworth is questioning an Order of B.C. given to a Richmond man who allegedly donated thousands of dollars illegally to former solicitor-general Kash Heed’s election campaign. The money was never reported and the man, Richmond cranberry mogul Peter Dhillon, was part of an RCMP commercial crime investigation into Heed’s campaign financing. The police investigation has wrapped up and the case is in the hands of special prosecutor Peter Wilson, who has been asked to report on whether to lay charges against Heed and Dhillon. None of the allegations against Heed or Dhillon have been proven in court. And both men say they are innocent of wrongdoing. “I have done absolutely nothing wrong,” Dhillon said recently. Farnworth, the NDP’s law and order critic and a candidate for leader of the provincial party, said the short time between Heed’s 2009 election and Dhillon’s OBC appointment raises eyebrows. “I do find it rather interesting on a number of things — one, three months after working for someone in a political campaign, you get the Order of B.C.,” Farnworth told The Province. “What did he get the Order of B.C. for? “From what we’ve seen so far of (Heed’s) campaign, I don’t think I’d call it an Order of B.C.-worthy effort,” said Farnworth. “The timing does raise some eyebrows.” According to information sworn by RCMP Sgt. John Taylor to obtain search warrants, Dhillon donated unreported thousands of dollars to Heed’s campaign and sat in on

strategy sessions for the campaign. On Page 15 of his 93-page document seeking the search warrants, Taylor draws attention to Heed’s support for Dhillon receiving the Order of B.C. Taylor noted: “During the time that Kash Heed was considering running, he advocated for Peter Dhillon to receive the Order of B.C.” Before Heed left his job as chief of the West Vancouver Police Department, he wrote a glowing recommendation for Dhillon’s Order of B.C. on police department stationery dated Feb. 20, 2009, which said: “I have had the pleasure of interacting with Mr. Dhillon to the extent that he influenced me to seek the position of chief constable.” Heed stepped down as police chief on March 6, 2009, to run for office. He was elected on May 12. Dhillon received his membership in the Order of B.C. three months later. The RCMP claims that Dhillon made unreported contributions to Heed’s campaign. “On or about May 5, 2009 . . . Peter Dhillon made a political contribution in see Dhillon page 5

Property tax rise to go ahead despite surplus pluses and reserves. Coun. Bill McNulty suggested last week that it was perhaps time for the city to consider giving the taxpayer a break by accessing some of the accumulated surplus. The city will still use more than half of last year’s projected surplus of $6 million to offset this year’s operating budget. The money drawn from the 2010 surplus will go toward covering half of the city’s obligated $3 million contribution to the Olympic oval, $1.2 million towards increased costs attached to the RCMP contract and a $1 mil-
Possible dog poisoning at public park Richmond RCMP has issued a warning to the Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) about a reported case of dog food being laced with rat poison at Morris Park, according to Christie Lagally, a volunteer with RAPS. Morris Park is located between Granville Avenue and Blundell Road as well as No. 1 Road and Railway Avenue.
Dhillon: Denies any wrongdoing and that he had “a similar relationship with Barinder Sall,” Heed’s campaign manager whose BlackBerry revealed a minefield of embarrassment for the MLA. Sall faces three counts under the election act and two counts of obstructing justice and one count of falsifying a document under the Criminal Code. Sall calls himself the strategy guy and Urquhart “like the communications director . . . .” In his application, Taylor also provided the judge with a picture taken on the night of the election showing Heed, Dhillon and Sall posing together in a smiling embrace.

tion of the B.C. Liberals in the constituency of Vancouver-Fraserview said: “It was obvious to me that Peter Dhillon would be one of the funders.” “I assume that he made contributions” because of his friendship with former attorney-general Wally Oppal and Sall. Heed won with 9,549 votes compared with the NDP’s Gabriel Yu, who received 8,801 votes. Three companies connected to Dhillon made contributions totalling $1,500 to the B.C. NDP in the 2009 election.
The park is surrounded by Cabot Drive, Baffin Drive, Parry Street and Shackleton Drive. It may not be the only park, so people are being asked to keep their eyes open and watch their pets carefully, states the warning. If your dog is poisoned at a park, contact Richmond police with as much information as possible.

Continued from page 4 support of the campaign to elect Kash Heed, without making such contribution to the financial agent . . . contrary to Section 263 of the Election Act,” Taylor said in a document put before a judge in October. Taylor also made this deduction in his sworn document: “Peter Dhillon made undeclared contributions to Kash Heed’s campaign.” The offence carries a maximum fine of $10,000 or a year in jail, or both. Dhillon has denied he had anything to do with Heed’s campaign and says he did nothing wrong. But Taylor says he believes Dhillon, despite his denials, “had a close relationship” with Heed

A Richmond man is among five alleged gang members charged with the slaying of an innocent car stereo installer. Dan Russell has been charged with the first-degree murder of Jonathan Barber and attempted murder of Vicky King. Barber was killed in a hail of gunfire on the night of May 9, 2008, at the 7000block of Kingsway in Burnaby. King, Barber’s girlfriend at the time, was in a separate vehicle and was also shot. Ion Kroitoru and Yong Lee, both from Surrey, Dilun Hung of Mission and Karwan Saed, of Burnaby, are also charged with the same offences. The murders of Barber and Kevin LeClair on Feb. 6, 2009, were two of more than a dozen slayings of gangsters, associates or innocents caught in the crossfire of a bloody gang war between the UN gang, led by Clay Roueche, and the rival Red Scorpions, led by the Bacon brothers of Abbotsford. Barber was driving Jamie Bacon’s Porsche Cayenne along Kingsway in Burnaby when shots rang out. He didn’t know that he was driving a purported gang leader’s vehicle when he agreed to install a stereo in it. His teenage girlfriend was seriously wounded as she followed Barber in another vehicle. — With files from the Vancouver Sun

Leaders, at least be civil
I
t’s going to be difficult to notice when we actually do have a federal election, seeing as the campaigning has carried on so interminably since at least 2006. A half decade of pointless namecalling later, the stories are still the same. Liberals say the Conservatives are a bunch of ogres with all sorts of nefarious schemes ready to hatch should they win a majority, and the Tories say Grit leader Michael Ignatieff is a opportunistic dilettante ready to leap into bed with whatever socialists and separatists will help him pursue the amusing hobby called leading our nation. Both Ignatieff and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have been busy lately trying to debunk these notions, with Ignatieff bringing his best hand-shaking populism to targeted ridings, and Harper sitting down with the CBC to insist his sleeves are free of surprises. Of course they both took the opportunity to say nasty things about each other too. It is an occupational hazard of this constant semi-election, but it’s disappointing that our public figures still can’t find it in themselves to be civil. Trash the policy, but not the person. We all respect athletes for being gracious with their competitors, so why can’t we demand this of our public figures? Our failure to do so is what has led to this dumbingdown of our debate. Harper and Ignatieff are both supremely talented people who have done much they can be proud of in their lives. Both will be remembered as great Canadians. But it would be a surpassing achievement if they could publicly acknowledge this in each other. — North Shore News editorial
CHOICE WORDS
Tall Ships never made sense
The Editor, Before Richmond commits to a three-month-long maritime festival to replace the Tall Ships’ fiasco, it should advise Richmond residents of the impacts of the proposed event and determine whether there is public support for it. From my perspective, if the elongated festival means that Garry Point Park will be inaccessible to local people on summer weekends, musical events will be cancelled at the Britannia Shipyards, or concrete piers will be installed at the mouth of the Fraser River, I vote against holding it. And if there is an option for the city to return the materials it purchased to build new floats, then that’s what it should do. Hopefully the city will learn something from the mess it now finds itself in. Trying to stage a major festival with virtually no time to plan or organize it, in a period of economic downturn, after an Olympics where sponsors were hard to attract, never made sense, and making commitments that put millions of taxpayer dollars at risk was simply wrong. The truth is that, given all of the factors it could control, the city should never had considered bidding for a Tall Ships Festival in 2011. Terry Davis Richmond

Media doesn’t spark revolutions Before this month, I didn’t know much about Tunisia. I knew it was a country in North Africa, a former part of the Ottoman Empire and the later French colonial empire. I could guess that it was not a happy shiny land of democracy and freedom. But those are generalities about all of North Africa west of Egypt. Now we’re all quite pleased that (ex) president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has been chased out of the country by the Jasmine Revolution. The revolt has many root causes, from high unemployment to the usual humiliations that people endure under a suffocating dictatorship. It was sparked by the suicide in December of Mohammed Bouazizi, an unemployed young man who set himself on fire in public. Images of his act of pain and protest spread through the Internet, to satellite news stations that broadcast them right back into Tunisia. In an already strained environment, protests and riots grew. The army refused to intervene. The president fled the country, and the government collapsed. An interim government was cobbled together, and almost collapsed again in the face of angry protests. (This will happen when you make your new “democratic” government from pieces of the old autocratic one.) Here’s the thing that’s really interesting about all
Matthew Claxton PAINFUL TRUTH
this. Before this month, 99 per cent of Canadians knew nothing about Tunisia. Sure, there were some Canadians born there, or whose ancestors came from there, who probably paid a lot of attention to the news from back home. And no doubt there is some tiny little NGO with three employees that has been trying to raise awareness of Ben Ali’s dictatorship. But really, it’s a tiny dictatorship. It wasn’t the harshest regime in the world (probably North Korea) or the craziest (North Korea again) and it doesn’t have nukes (see above). But now, pundits are falling all over themselves to talk about the significance of the events there. Does this mean doom for other repressive Arab regimes? Will Tunisia become a democratic state on its own, without outside invasion/bombing/friendly help from the U.S.? Or will it be taken over by Islamic fundamentalist radicals and turned into a giant terrorist training camp? And western governments are lining up to cheer on the plucky protesters. (Except for the French, who were offering to help Ben Ali with his little secu-
rity problem as recently as a month ago. Jerks.) Why? Really, why? No one cared about Tunisia three weeks ago. I know I couldn’t have found it on an unmarked map. It wasn’t even a trendy oppressed place, like Chiapas or Tibet. No movie star glamour for its plight. The question in Tunisia lately has been whether the revolt would have come to fruition without the images of Mohammed Bouazizi burning. It’s about whether media can cause people to act. In many ways, it’s the flip side of the question, was the shooting in Tucson sparked by the media? But the truth about media, even social media, is that for most people, it remains entertainment, style, personal expression. That is to say, it is utterly meaningless. Changing your Twitter image to green did not free the Iranian people. No amount of editorializing by the western press will affect the outcome of the Tunisian revolution. Facebook is not going to help send the Dalai Lama back home to Tibet. From the pundits to the politicians to the bloggers, without action, our support for change in Tunisia is just much empty air, flashing pixels forming meaningless constellations that affect nothing.

RETIREMENT MAY BE FAR OFF,
BUT THE DEADLINE FOR RRSP CONTRIBUTIONS ISN’T.
The Editor, Re: “Animal shelter faces anxious days ahead,” News, Jan. 21: Alan Campbell’s latest article about the City of Richmond giving RAPS the run-around on its contract renewal is yet more evidence of the problem that has existed in Richmond for the past 15 years. The bylaws department in this city is in need of a massive overhaul. It can be seen in the petition to B.C. Supreme Court Mr. Ryan Lake
recently announced in the News (Jan. 5, Letters, “Maybe you can fight city hall”) and his frequent observations of bylaw department inadequacies (Richmond News, July 31, 2009; Sept. 23, 2009; Oct. 23, 2009; March 12, 2010). It can be seen in the minutes of the most recent city council meeting (Jan. 10), in which my wife and others were berated by council for suggesting that the current breed-specific bylaws were dysfunctional.
Finally, it can be seen in the fact that twice in the past two days, my wife and I were approached by growling, snarling, offleash dogs in the City of Richmond. My inspection of the animal control bylaw reveals that in both if these instances, there were no fewer than three sections of the bylaw violated simultaneously, which should have resulted in the dogs being impounded at the owners’ expense. Where is the bylaw enforcement in this city?
Why does it work so poorly? Until these questions are addressed, no progress on the problems I mentioned can be made. The city should take as its incentive the realization that if everyone who had ever been traumatized by an aggressive dog in Richmond got together, the resulting class action could be very hard to ignore.

Here is my four-step campaign reform plan which attempts to create a level playing field for all the candidates. 1. Candidates can pay
a deposit to the private banks in exchange for a campaign loan. 2. Candidates can submit their campaign receipts to the bank after the election. 3. The elections office can reimburse the banks for all official campaign expenses. 4. The elections office can produce an elections
website which would list the biographies, community experience, and qualifications of all the candidates. This would provide an unbiased source of information for the voters. There you go! Simple and straightforward. This four-step campaign reform plan will be a huge step forward in

Rent films for free at library The Editor, Re: “PVR killing the video stores,” Letters, Jan. 21. In response to the article on “PVR killing the video stores,” we want Richmond residents to know that their very own Richmond Public Library lends out DVD movies for FREE! We have thousands of blockbuster and classic movies for adults and kids just waiting to be borrowed at all four of our branches – Brighouse, Ironwood, Steveston and Cambie. Some DVDs can be borrowed for three days, and some for seven. And our selection of movies is fantastic — just check out our DVD dispensers at the Brighouse and Ironwood branches and see all the choices you’ve got. All you need is a library card to borrow them and that’s free too. Talk about choice — we’ve got DVDs in English, Chinese, Hindi and Punjabi (not all languages are available at each branch, so check with your local branch
first). Along with our DVD dispensers, you’ll also find movies on the shelves, too. As you’d expect, our DVD movies are really popular, because there aren’t a lot of places where you can borrow stuff for free anymore. So, check it out. And finally, the best part — you can borrow up to 25 DVDs per person at a time! For those of you who like video games, we have those, too. You can borrow up to two video games from the DVD dispenser for one week. We hope you’ll come in and check out all the great movies we have. To make it easy, we’re open seven days a week for your convenience.

Firstly they will only affect buyers with less than 20% down payment as those mortgages require CMHC insurance. For those buyers, amortizations will be cut from 35 years to 30 years. A 5 year reduction in amortization will reduce your mortgage affordability by roughly 7%. This means that if you currently qualify for a mortgage of $300,000 at 35 years you can expect to see that reduced by approximately $21,000. Purchase contracts being entered into before but completing after the March 18th deadline will still be eligible for 35 year amortizations. Contracts written after March 18th will be subject to a maximum amortization of 30 years.

Creating a lower denture that does not allow food to go under is possible. Two factors must be observed. The size of the denture base and the balance of the teeth function. Accurate impression technique is crucial for success to be achieved. An over or under extended denture base spells disaster. Equally, teeth that wobble when chewing allows an ingress of food under the denture base. When I create, fit and deliver a full lower denture, the first questions I ask a patient when they come for their check up appointment is, did food go under the denture, how well did you chew and are the teeth sharp. If the answers are favorable, then I have completed a successful denture. You should expect this high level of expertise from your denturist. To inquire regarding this or any other high quality denture procedure, please call and book your free consultation with us.

In the recovery from the flu, the imbalance may partially remain and the body may acquire more residual factors such as phlegm and heat in the lungs. With cold and wet weather, the body succumbs again to the heat and/or phlegm and the cough resumes.

How do you get over “the One”
If you see a potential property as “the One” don’t make the mistake and overpay. Here are a few tips to help you avoid falling prey to thoughts of “the One:” • Before you begin viewing properties, prepare a checklist of all the features you consider your ‘must-haves.’ Bring your list with you to every property that you view and measure how each home stacks up. This will help to keep your decisions ‘needs-based.’ • For your home previews, bring along your Realtor, impartial friend or family member or anyone who can provide an objective assessment of the property, to help you see the property as it really is. • For any property you are seriously considering buying, go back and view it at different times of the day or days of the week, getting to know what rush hour looks like or how the area changes at night. • Hire a professional home inspector. For more tips on how to avoid “the One,” give Diane Cardoso, RE/ MAX Westcoast a call today, 604-218-1412 or reach her through

Insurance Broker MARDON & CAMPBELL INSURANCE BROKERS 145 - 3900 Steveston Hwy. Richmond
Unfortunately this incident or claim happens quite a lot and fortunately this is why insurance is useful. The first thing to do is to call your insurance broker to advise us of the incident any time of day or night; any broker worth the while will have after hours contact services. Besides the obvious i.e. does the premises need to be secured & have you called the police, the responsibility of a client after dealing with the immediate is to gather / list the details and values of the loss and present it to adjustor for reimbursement. The type of information or supporting documents the adjustor needs is invoices, sales slips, pictures or even videos. Once the adjustor verifies coverages, they will reimburse the client less the policy deductible and close the file. It really can be that simple providing the client can verify the amounts claimed. Adjustors are interested in settling claims as swift as possible with the client's best interests at heart. As always we like to help with any insurance matter you have and look forward to hearing from you.

Love ’em or hate ’em, Games made us proud Feb. 12, 2011 will mark the first official anniversary of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games hosted by Vancouver. Looking back at the Olympics, many people feel a vast range of emoYOUTH tions, but many had very different opinions about the Olympics (myself included) at first. Prior to the actual Olympics, I thought that the entire thing was just a nuisance. The much-anticipated Olympic oval seemed to be taking an eternity to finish. Construction of the Canada Line caused much chaos and made moving around harder as traffic seemed to be clogged everywhere. I thought the Canada Line would not be worthwhile and that taxpayers’ money (money that my parents could have given to me) was going to waste. As time went on and the Olympics arrived, I had a complete change of heart. I was touched by Olympic fever, which became an epidemic and soon the entire nation was infected. Everywhere I looked, there was a sea of red and white. It seemed everyone in Richmond had their red Olympic mittens. Every Canadian can remember exactly where they were at the pivotal moment
when Sidney Crosby scored the overtime goal that gave Team Canada the gold medal. The crowd that had gathered at Richmond’s O Zone immediately began celebrating with loud VIEW cheers and hollers. In that moment, even the worst of enemies could have put their differences aside to celebrate Canada’s win over America. For two weeks, there was a party atmosphere that everyone joined in on. The Olympics have come and gone and now Richmond citizens have great memories to look back on. The Olympic oval is still open and is a great place for sports and fitness. The Canada Line is amazing and makes traveling to downtown Vancouver much faster and more convenient. Reflecting back on the Olympics, I can say that I’m glad Vancouver hosted the 2010 Games and I’m sure many people would agree with me. Some of the improvements to Richmond as a result of the Olympics will be ever lasting. The Olympics may be over, but Canadian pride lives on.

Happiness is often elusive Most people want to be happy, and most of us have experienced happiness, albeit briefly, from time to time throughout our lives. The rest of our days are either consumed in pursuit of the things we believe will make us happy or the resignation that life will never be perfect and we will never be happy. What we all want and what we all deserve is enduring happiness. The privilege of my vocation is to work with patients of every age in health and illness, through crisis and challenge, from the moment of birth to the end of life. I am witness to their changes with growth and the changes of aging. I guide young parents, couples and the widowed in the challenges of their own emotions and relationships. What I have learned from my patients is that happiness is not always what we think it is. Though we consume our energies in pursuit of it, we are often disappointed when we get what we want. When we’ve lost something or someone we value, we recognize happiness in its absence, which brings us all the more sorrow. My other great teachers have been my family. My parents taught me that happiness is best experienced by loving fully and without judgment,

living a life of integrity, and acting — beyond our own self-interests — for others and things bigger than ourselves. The journey of parenting with my wife has given me the opportunity to live the way of happiness modeled by my parents. To be a parent is to share the joy of new life and responsibility, to live and give for someone else, to appreciate the simple pleasures of family life, to see the perfect infant in the imperfect teen, to let go of the little things and to stand up for what matters most, to be humble and to be strong. Happiness is more than pleasure. Enduring happiness cannot be found in a pill, in drugs, in alcohol or in sex. Happiness is not a place or time when everything is perfect, where we will have everything we want. It
can’t be found in the past, in a shopping mall or a catalogue, in a new car or in a new home. It is not the perfect partner, the perfect job or a million dollars. Like our bodies and our state of health and our own natures as human beings, life is not perfect. When it appears to be, it’s just an illusion, because we and life itself are ever changing. But with our imperfect selves, connected in our imperfect relationships and in our imperfect lives, we can still be happy. If you’re ready to take a fresh look at life, question self-limiting beliefs and discover enduring happiness, join me in “A Hundred Days to Happiness.” Beginning Feb. 1, I will share the insights I’ve learned from my patients, friends and family. Each day, I will post one new insight on Facebook and twitter.com/ DrDavidicusWong. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a physician at PrimeCare Medical.

Waves Coffee House continues to grow
RICHMOND LOCATIONS: • 180 - 5951 No. 3 Road • 120 - 12231 First Ave.
In the last six years, Waves Coffee House has made quite a ripple in the java business. In 2005, the local coffee purveyor opened its doors at the corner of Hastings and Richards streets in downtown Vancouver, and since then have opened about five new locations a year. Today, there are 22 across the Lower Mainland, with a new Waves slated to open on Robson Street in early spring, as well as three in Calgary, Alberta. Impressive for a company which was founded right here on the West coast. “I think what makes us stand out is that we really are very much involved in the communities which we serve,” says Kayvan Rahmati, marketing director for the chain of coffee shops. What makes Waves unique is how it encourages community groups to gather and enjoy its ambiance. Waves invite customers to linger and warm up around its fireplaces, cozy couches and leather chairs. Head over to any Waves on any given day and you might catch reading club members bantering the merits of its monthly selection, while enjoying their favourite specialty drink. Or watch the creativity and camaraderie of the knitting
group that gets together for inspiration and a laugh or two, once a week. “We also have four of our locations which have conference rooms that anyone can book free of charge,” says Rahmati, adding all locations have free WiFi. “We want to be the neighbourhood gathering place.” Waves provide a warm and inviting atmosphere, and offers espresso beverages, coffees, international loose leaf teas, real Belgian hot chocolate, and a variety of other caffeine free and high in antioxidant beverages. They also feature delicious paninis and freshly baked goods, delivered fresh daily from local bakeries. From the moment you walk into any Waves Coffee House, you’ll feel a warm and inviting energy and a sense of community that will keep you coming back. In 2008 and 2010, Waves was recognized by the Brand Coaches as the Hottest Brand in Canada, beating out more than 1,500 specialty coffee retail businesses across the country.

METHOD: First thing you make is the honey and miso glaze. In a small pot, over low heat, pour vinegar and miso paste, and whisk until the mixture is reduced by half. Once reduced, add honey and soy sauce. Let it cool down and set aside. Cut fingerling potatoes in quarters and steam them for about seven minutes. You can take a small knife and poke it and when it slides of by itself that means it’s ready. Once potatoes are cooked sauté them in olive oil till golden brown and add caramelized onion. Set aside for plating. Sauté shiitake mushrooms and the bok choy together until mushrooms are soft and the bok choy is cook. About three minutes. When you buy smoke sable fish it usually has a salty flavour due to the smoking process. You don’t really need to add anymore salt. Season the fish with black pepper and sear one side of the fish and add two small cubes of butter. Finish it in a 190 C (375 F) oven for about five minutes. To plate, put the fingerling potatoes in the middle of the plate and then layer the bok choy and shiitake on top. Once the fish is cook, you can put it on top of the bok choy and sauce it with the miso and honey glaze.

Community HEALTH
Keep your heart open We’re all on a journey together in this lifetime to discover who we are and what is the real truth of our being. We do this every day during interactions with our partners, family members, KEEP IT colleagues and people in our community. Even though we may not realize it, life situations are always opportunities for us to discover who we are. Sometimes we encounter someone who is not having a good day and they may project their feelings toward us. It’s not about us needing to know why that person is speaking or acting in such a manner, what is more important is how we choose to engage in the situation. We always have a choice to keep our heart open in any circumstance regardless of how we feel about the situation. When we live with an open heart and with awareness it takes the fire out of any situation because there is no ego wanting to control the outcome. There’s simply an openness to what is, as it is. We can all have conversations that aren’t charged with anger, raised voices or words of abuse. When you stay open, speak from the heart and let love be the guide, it tends to diffuse situations that are charged with fire. When someone is busy defending themselves it’s usually a sign they are just protecting their heart. They fear they will

not be loved for who they are, and all any of us really want in this lifetime is to be seen and loved. It really is as simple as that. Pay attention next time and respond from a place of SIMPLE love, instead of reacting in the way you might usually do. When you let love be the guide, it’s difficult for the ego to survive. We can choose to let go of the clutter that clouds our minds and focus our attention on always acting or reacting from a place of love. When we live our lives authentically and from a place of love we may find that life does indeed become simpler. Give yourself a challenge over the next month to move from a place of love no matter what. Really, yes — no matter what: love for your life as it is, love for other beings who are having challenges, love for the opportunity to wake up every day, and most of all love for yourself. We are in this life journey together and as Gangaji (www.gangaji.org) says “we are one heart lighting candles all over the world.” Start lighting the candles in the place where you live and share your experience Email me below. Lorraine will facilitate mindfulness meetings every Tuesday, beginning Feb. 1. To register, call 604-351-9205 or visit www.keepinglifesimple.org.

DANCE
Belly-less man stars in belly dancing troupe BY MICHELLE HOPKINS
mhopkins@richmond-news.com
Google Middle Eastern dancer, Arthur Gulkarov (stage name Samir), and up pop many YouTube videos. Although his face is heavily made-up and he wears elaborate and colourful costumes, what is most riveting in all of his performances are his arms — they appear to have a life of their own. His arms and hands move in an almost hypnotic and fluid way — it’s as if he has no bones. Gulkarov’s dance moves are a little Western erotic, mixed with a good dose of belly dance, contortionism and tribal dance. He is as exotic and colourful as his costumes. Gulkarov is also the first and only male dancer in Bellydance Superstars’ Bombay Bellywood — which is at the River Rock Casino Resort on Feb. 4. The professional dancer has been garnering accolades all over the world for his unique performances. Pushing the boundaries of dance, Gulkarov is one of the leads in Bombay Bellywood. Since he was a child, Gulkarov has appeared in shows, concerts, festivals, and cultural events throughout North America, including a prestigious two-year stint with Cirque du Soleil’s phenomenally successful show, O, in Las Vegas. “I portrayed the snobby dancer who didn’t like to share,”
Gulkarov said. “I could have stayed on but I wanted to pursue new creative outlets.” The young slim performer added he taught himself the art of Indian dance. “I used to watch hours and hours of Indian dancing on the television,” said Gulkarov. “Then, I combined my own body movements to make the dance my own.” He says he comes by his talent naturally. “I see dance in my head … it’s been like that since I was two,” Gulkarov said. “I’m constantly thinking up new ideas, I can’t turn (creativity) off.” Gulkarov was born in Dushanbe, Tajikistan in the former Soviet Union to artistic parents. His mother, Malika Kalantarova, is a famous folk dancer, and holds the coveted title of People’s Artist of the USSR, and dad, Ishak Gulkarov, is a wellknown musician. Gulkarov said his mother has been both his muse and mentor. “My mom is a legend in Tajikistan and she was combining different styles of dance before the word fusion became a popular word to explain a mix of dance styles,” he said. “My mom and I argue a lot but she has taught me so much. “Every time I come up with a new idea for a dance move I bounce it off her first.” The family immigrated to the United States in 1993. The young dancer was soon booked into every dance genre imaginable

Arthur Gulkarov has been dancing since he could walk. He will perform Feb. 4 in the highly praised show Bombay Bellywood at River Rock Casino Resort. — ballet, hiphop, Latin salsa and jazz. “I live for dance, that’s all I want to do,” he said. “I think about it every waking moment and wake up from dreams with an idea for a new dance move.” His first professional gig in the Big Apple was in a Broadway production of The Nutcracker.
“I’m married to the stage and my kids are my costumes,” he quipped. In Bombay Bellywood, Gulkarov said the audience should expect an “artistically exciting show.” This new production is one of the most extensive North American tours the troupe has

undertaken since its inception seven years ago — 70 cities in three months. This 90-minute show features Indian dance styles combined with an assorted mix of belly dance techniques. “Expect inspiring music and dance as well as incredible costumes,” said Gulkarov, adding he has five outfit changes (he designs his own costumes) during the show. “Bombay Bellydance will show the audience that Indian dancing fused with contemporary and modern jazz can be visually stunning.” During the show, Gulkarov has a number of acts, including a drum solo, but he’s been gaining rave reviews for his performance in the segment dubbed Night of the Serpents. One reviewer in Chicago said: “The best part of the show was Night of the Serpents, it reminded me of a Cirque du Soleil act. Gulkarov’s slithering, snake-like arms were the perfect imitation of a serpent.” The British newspaper Sunday Times called Bellydance Superstars: “The most important dance troupe in the world.” “That segment (Night of the Serpents) is absolutely new and it’s beautiful, technically sharp and at the end of it I’m completely exhausted,” said Gulkarov. Bellydance Superstars presents Bombay Bellywood on Friday, Feb. 4 at 8 p.m. in the theatre at the River Rock Casino Resort. Tickets are available by calling Ticketmaster at 604-680-4444 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca. For more information bout Bellydance Superstars, visit www. bellydancesuperstars.com.

He no longer sells CDs and freely gives his music away over his website, www.krayvankirk.com. Van
Kirk recently finished a series of concerts in Ireland and Great Britain, and the Borderline Folk Club of New York said of his show “..what all other singer - songwriters should aspire to..”, while his performance at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, was called “spellbinding” by the Fringe Review. All of his songs wait patiently on his website, ready to waddle their way across the world, leaving no footprints in the snow.

FIGURE SKATING
Local skater youngest national champ BY CLEVE DHEENSAW Postmedia News
Patrick Chan of Toronto, the No. 2 men’s figure skater in the world, and Kevin Reynolds of Coquitlam, B.C., are set to unload the quad Saturday and Sunday in the men’s competition of the BMO Canadian figure skating championships. Watching intently from the stands at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre will be 12-yearold Nam Nguyen of Richmond, B.C., a little fellow with the big dreams of eventually landing those grand jumps himself. Nguyen, a four-foot-nine dynamo, ignited the national junior championship on Thursday night in Victoria by winning the men’s crown. Next year he plans on stepping up to senior and taking on Chan and Reynolds. “The big thing I’ll be looking for during the senior men’s competition is the atmosphere (in the rink), so next year I’ll know what to expect and be ready for it when I compete in the senior nationals,” said Nguyen, the youngest skater ever to win the men’s junior national title. “It’s a tough step up to the senior level from junior.” The Grade 7 student at Anderson elementary knows Reynolds well from training with him in Burnaby and has also met Chan. “Patrick and I talked about height . . . right now I’m up to his neck,” said Nguyen, remark-
ably mature for his age. “My short-term goals are the top-five at the senior nationals next year and long-term goals are the world championships and Winter Olympics.” Chan and Reynolds are already on the international stage and the storyline this weekend is whether the quadhappy Reynolds can come close to matching Chan, who resides much higher up that world ladder, but is just mastering the quad. The quad, or lack of it, has become a major issue in men’s figure skating after Evan Lysacek of the U.S. used a restrained approach in winning the Winter Olympics gold at Vancouver over that of the more audacious Evgeni Plushenko of Russia. Chan knows which way that controversy is headed — world skating opinion is leaning in favour of rewarding quads — and knows he has to answer to that. Canada, along with Japan and the United States, are the only three nations to have earned the maximum three men’s berths into the 2011 world championships March 21-27 at Tokyo. The three men’s medallists this weekend will advance to Tokyo as the Canadian representatives. A good bet for the bronze medal is Shawn Sawyer, 26, of Edmundston, N.B. — a three time bronze medallist at the national championships and is ranked No. 28 in the world.

Linesman ends season with trip to championship game Special to the News
It has been a football season of mixed blessings for 18 year-old Simon Fraser University Clansman Matthias Goossen but next week he vows to end it on a positive note. After his team went winless in its NCAA Division II debut season,
the 6-3, 290-pound rookie offensive linesman for the SFU Clan will conclude his own season by joining the all-world team in the second annual nationally-acclaimed Team USA vs. Team World under-19 championship football game. The Feb. 2 International Federation of Football and USA Football sanctioned game in Austin,
Texas, will see the best American high school football players square off against the rest of the world’s best high-school aged players (22 of 42 Team World players are Canadian). “It’s a good chance to meet other people around the world and show that football just isn’t an American game anymore,” Goossen said.
The former Richmond Raider is a rising star in amateur football. As a freshman he started all eight conference games and garnered high praise from his coaches. Goossen began playing football at age nine following a brief stint as a hockey player. see Rookie page 26

“I didn’t like waking up at 5 a.m. in the morning, the skates never really fit me well, and I was just too hyper for hockey. I didn’t find it fun, there wasn’t much hitting,” he said. After four years on the turf Goossen asked his parents if he could attend high school at Vancouver College to join one of B.C.’s most successful football programs. They obliged and Goossen went on to become the club’s captain and most valuable player in 2010, his senior year. Playing both defense and offense Goossen excelled on the line as he gained weight. From Grade 9 to Grade 12 he says he packed on about 120 pounds to become one of the province’s best young prospects. In 2010 he captained the B.C. under-18 team that won a bronze medal at the Football Canada Cup. Goossen’s talent is equally matched not only
by his leadership but also his commitment to school and his faith. The business student lists Jesus as his most influential person in his online Clansman profile and he still volunteers for youth groups at his church in Richmond. Naturally, his leadership qualities lend themselves to humility, something crucial for his position. As a guard his duties are to protect the quarterback and provide holes for the running back — things that don’t get noticed on a scoresheet but are arguably the most important keys to winning. “The coach knows if you do a good job,” he said. Goossen noted there was also some silver lining to his team’s 0-8 record (1-10 overall). “We never had a problem with effort but it was more experience and we ran into some injuries,” Goossen said, alluding to the fact the team’s offense was void of a senior player.
Also, terrible record aside, Goossen’s relentless blocking helped the team achieve the second best running game in the fiveteam conference and he was named the team’s rookie offensive player. As few freshmen start every game for their college/university team Goossen’s achievements are more impressive granted he had yet to turn 18 until mid-season in October. The transition from high school, he says, was difficult. “It was pretty hard. At high school you’re the best and biggest player and at SFU, while I played every snap, I wasn’t the biggest guy. I was definitely younger and the transition went really well but it’s obviously hard,” Goossen said. In Austin next week Goossen said he hopes to help spring his running back to a score, which would be the first for Team World after it lost the inaugural game 17-0. “I think we’ll do well,” he said.
