Some serious ping-pong is coming to the Richmond Olympic Oval after it was announced Thursday that a new National Women’s Table Tennis Training Centre will be opening. The training centre will offer Canadian female athletes the ability to develop and sharpen their game in a setting that offers 18 tables and is connected to sport training and conditioning facilities. According to Tony Kiesenhofer, CEO of Table Tennis Canada, the oval was chosen because of its state-of-the-art facilities and the local connections to the Chinese-Canadian Table Tennis Federation (CCTTF). Two-time Olympian, Richmond resident and defending Commonwealth women’s singles champion Mo Zhang, 25, (left) gave a brief demonstration at the announcement.

If you’re feeling sick and you don’t get to a Richmond walk-in clinic four hours before closing time, you’re unlikely to see a doctor that day.

That’s the stark reality facing most Richmondites during flu season, when, not surprisingly, clinics are jam-packed with people suffering from all kinds of moderate to minor ailments.

Short of chancing an even longer wait at Richmond Hospital’s emergency room, no agency, as the News found out, seems to have the answer and local residents are bang out of luck this winter.

It’s a situation that’s unlikely to change, according to a UBC health services associate professor, with doctors hamstrung by the amount of patients they get paid to examine and no local health authority control over the number of clinics or their opening times.

“It’s important to understand

Walk-in clinics’ 4-hour wait times unlikely to change: Health expert the relationship between the health service and physicians,” said Kim McGrail, associate director at UBC’s Centre for Health Services and Policy Research and associate professor at UBC’s School of Population and Public Health.

“There are some situations where health authorities operate a small number of clinics; but that number is quite small. Other than that, primary care doctors are independent.

“There’s no mechanism for the — Kim style of clinic or its opening hours to be controlled. It’s just left to the free market.”

There are schools of thought, added McGrail, that the health service shouldn’t be left to the free market and more physicians are the key.

“Simply having more doctors

working in clinics is not just the answer; there’s no magic wand for this kind of issue.”

Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)’s spokesperson Anna Marie D’Angelo explained how the health authority has nothing to do with the running of walk-in clinics.

D’Angelo added that it’s usually only a minority of patients in an ER who would ordinarily be treated in a walk-in clinic or doctor’s office.

“These patients do not require McGrail a lot of emergency department resources for treatment,” said D’Angelo.

“They may have to wait for hours before receiving treatment for their non-urgent care as those that are most ill are treated first.”

D’Angelo suggested contact-

“Simply having more doctors working in clinics is not just the answer.”

ing the British Columbia Medical Association, now called Doctors of BC, to get a handle on how walk-in clinics are run.

Without being able to offer a solution, Doctors of BC spokesperson Sharon Shore did explain that physicians are restricted in how many patients they get paid to see in a day.

Up to 50 patients, the doctor is paid the full rate; from 51 to 65, 50 per cent of the rate and zero thereafter.

“It’s basically down to the free market and that’s the same for the opening and closing times,” said Shore.

“There are daily volume limits for patients in terms of what doctors are paid, so there’s no incentive for a doctor to see too many patients.

“The indirect result we’re looking for is the standard of patient care being protected. This system has been around for at least a decade, see Ontario page 4

A young fir tree is all that’s left standing after bulldozers moved into the site on Garden City Road and Alderbridge Way to make way for the Walmart-anchored shopping centre.

Walk for Alzheimer’s this Sunday The inaugural Richmond and South Delta Walk for Memories takes place this Sunday at the BCIT campus on Sea Island, and organizers are hoping hundreds of people will show up to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. The walk took place in Richmond last year but this event incorporates residents of South Delta as well.

The walk’s honouree, Elizabeth Stewart, 66, suffers from Alzheimer’s and was a caregiver for her two parents who also had the disease. She was chosen by walk organizers because of her dedication to her par-

ents and participation at support groups.

One of the walk’s organizers and volunteers is Patrick Tham, who participates in support of his father, Michael, who has the degenerative neurological disease.

“It’s heartbreaking to see a family affected by dementia to such a degree,” said Tham. “The effects are very multigenerational,” he added.

Participants will be able to buy raffle tickets to enter a prize draw for two West Jet tickets. Registration is at 9 a.m. and the walk takes place 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. For more information call 604-270-7700.

Continued from page 3 maybe longer.”

Shore suggested calling the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC to get closer to how walk-in clinics operate and a potential solution to the problem.

“The College has no authority over daily limits,” said its communications director, Susan Prins.

“These are set by the Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC. We don’t take a position on the number of clinics or their hours of operation.

“We only regulate the physicians who work in the clinics.”

UBC’s McGrail, while agreeing that the limits are in place for a good reason and should not change, did offer a potential solution, of sorts: Bring in more types of practitioners to deal with the more minor cases.

“More nurse practitioners, for example, might work. But there seems to be a shortage of places where they can work, rather than a shortage of them,” said McGrail.

“In Ontario, there are

more groups of physicians working together in teams in joint practices. The idea is to be more efficient in delivering the services, but they also have more nurse practitioners working there.”

In B.C., said McGrail, there has been “some reticence in allowing nurse practitioners a greater role.”

“Are the physicians in B.C. protecting their turf or the quality of care?

“But nurse practitioners have been a worthy addition to the health care system for many years.”

VARIETY THE CHILDREN’S CHARITY

Jin family thankful for a promising year

BY GRAEME WOOD

gwood@richmond-news.com

Last February the Jin family was the subject of a Richmond News story to highlight the fund raising efforts of Variety the Children’s Charity.

It’s a common practice for charitable organizations and media to find a family in need willing to speak about their lives in order to give potential donors a better understanding of what is needed.

More often than not families and their stories come and go but this year as the 48th Annual Show of Hearts Telethon is set to take place tomorrow and Sunday on Global TV the News revisited the Jins, who spoke of their past year, one that brought many changes.

Jimmy and Michelle Jin have three children — Isabella, 8, Thomas, 4, and Kaitlyn, 6. They are hard working parents who run a home business selling textiles.

They’re a rather ordinary family with extraordinary challenges as Kaitlyn suffers from an undiagnosed set of physical and cognitive disorders that leaves her in need of help for every daily task.

Last year, as a result of Variety, Giving in Action and President’s Choice Children’s Charity, the Jins received a new minivan outfitted with a ramp and hydraulic lifts.

Shortly after the News spoke with them Kaitlyn got new braces as well as a feeding chair and a special bed, both of which help

her sit up to alleviate complications from a gastrointestinal reflex disorder.

The much needed help is slowly turning things around. For one the Jins are sleeping better for the first time since having children.

“It’s much better compared to the last interview,” said Michelle with a smile.

Also, because of the van the Jins are getting out more often, which means more quality family time for everyone.

And best of all, Kaitlyn is showing improvements, no matter how small they may seem to the rest of us.

“There is big, big improvement and progress that Kaitlyn has shown. One year for other kids can make a big difference, but for Kaitlyn she has special needs and very very small progress is huge for us.

For example, for the first time ever in her life — right before the holidays — she was able to sit on the floor by herself without any support for more than five minutes,” Jimmy explained.

“It was the biggest joy for our entire family during the holiday,” he said.

Kaitlyn is described by her parents as happy, loving and friendly. She loves to watch her siblings play and joins in when she is able.

As it is with most families, the Jin’s living room is strewn with toys. While Michelle holds Kaitlyn and plays with her on the floor, it’s common for Thomas to beep away at a handheld video game and Isabella to

GRAEME WOOD/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Celebrating progress in 6-year-old Kaitlyn’s (seated) condition, the Jin family reflects on the assistance from Variety the Children’s Charity which airs its annual telethon this weekend on Global TV. gripe about the “boring” book her Grade 3 teacher has assigned her to read.

Jimmy said Variety is just a piece of the puzzle. He is constantly applying for grants elsewhere as Kaitlyn quickly outgrows her devices. He is heavily reliant on hand-medowns and exchanges.

“Recently, she has taken steps and can move around in the trainer, of course with the help of the braces. Without the braces, she’s not able to stand on her feet. She’s tippy-toed, like an infant baby,” said Jimmy.

But those braces have become too small and Kaitlyn requires another fitting. That may require more grant applications.

But it’s well worth it for Jimmy and Michelle.

“She’s able to move from one room to another fairly quickly. At school her teaching assistant sometimes needs to run in the hallway to keep up with her. For us, last year, just one year alone, that was huge progress,” said Jimmy.

The Jins are a thankful clan.

Disease grows, victims fade

I

t’s a devastating disease that destroys not only its direct victims, but wreaks havoc on entire families.

Its progress is often slow and always relentless, eventually leaving caregivers to watch helplessly as loved ones turn into shells of their former selves — personalities and memories fade into oblivion, often with episodes of confused, violent behaviour accompanying the heart-wrenching metamorphosis.

Despite the best efforts of researchers — Canada is an international leader in the field – only modest gains have been made in understanding Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

While there are now treatments that can slow or delay the disease’s destructive progress, there is neither a cure nor even a clear road towards a cure.

There are up to 70,000 British Columbians — and their families — living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias, and as the baby-boomer population continues to age, that number is expected to grow at an increasing rate.

The situation is not unique to B.C. The problem is global, and is considered a developing epidemic by many.

January is Alzheimer Awareness Month — a chance to share information and increase awareness about the degenerative disease.

Because symptoms of Alzheimer’s and dementia can vary greatly among patients and can progress very slowly, it is often a confusing and painful time for the patient, their family, and their friends. Awareness of the symptoms — and services available — makes it a little easier to support those diagnosed with the disease to remain active and effective members of their families and their communities.

Provincial officials offer more information at: www.gov. bc.ca/connect.

Locally, the annual Walk for Memories is an opportunity for victims, caregivers, and families to offer each other emotional support, and to raise money to fight Alzheimer’s disease.

CHOICE WORDS

Better places for museum millions Dear Editor: I am hoping that someone can give me the answer to my question.

Is there a limit to how much money our city councillors can spend on a project without going to the public for permission?

It sounds to me that this Olympic museum is a done deal and will cost several million dollars.

Never once has my opinion been sought. Maybe I missed the open house where I would have had the opportunity to voice my opinion.

I do not believe that an Olympic museum is a wise use of my tax dollars. In fact, I believe that it’s a dreadful waste of my tax dollars.

The Olympics was a very exciting event for this area, but it is over and a building full of memories is not going to reignite that excitement.

If we have millions of dollars to throw away, why not put it toward low rent housing or education, the school board could use some millions.

There are plans to build a new aquatic centre and “older adult” centre to replace existing facilities. Perhaps the $6 million could support that project which will certainly get more visitors each year than would an Olympic museum.

From what I’ve read, the museums built in other Olympic cities do not attract enough visitors to justify the expense of them.

I

I’m not against columns ... but

am weary, tired down to my soul of people saying, “I’m not against development, but…”

Right now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Hey, I said that to this reporter last week! He’s talking about me.”

No. Last week, you were one of seven or eight people who spoke this phrase, about three separate issues, in three different neighbourhoods. You can join the ranks of literally hundreds of people who have said it either to me or in my presence in the past 15 years.

I am so thoroughly sick of this phrase that I want it expunged from the English language.

“I’m not against development, but…” is an attempt to position the speaker as a moderate, as someone who is not a NIMBY, as someone who supports the status quo as a good producer-consumer.

It’s a way of staking out a certain cultural space while still objecting to a government policy or corporate decision.

It implies there are some people (probably dirty hippies) who are against development. The speaker is not one of those benighted, filthy subhumans! No, they are a shining member of enlightened, capitalist society.

They just have a specific, singular grievance with one little project…

“I’m not against development, but I don’t want condos in this neighbourhood.”

Matthew Claxton PAINFUL TRUTH

“I’m not against development, but I worry there won’t be enough parking.”

“I’m not against development, but should that python ranch really be built on top of the seniors centre?”

Please, everyone who reads this column, I am begging of you, please say you really are against development.

Yes, it might be hypocritical. Yes, it might lead to you being called a NIMBY, a communist, a tree-hugger, a luddite. Do it anyway.

I have yet to meet anyone who started a sentence with the opposite construction.

“I am against development, and…”

It would be so refreshing to hear just once.

It would also, for most of us, be true.

If we are very lucky in our lives, we will find ourselves living in a place where we can be, wholeheartedly, against development. Being against development means that you love your neighbourhood the way it is. It means you have found the place where you belong.

Every crack in the sidewalk is as familiar as the lines on the palms of your hands. The cinder-block corner store is exactly the

right distance away for a walk to get an ice cream bar on a summer’s day.

The empty lot is so overgrown, it’s no longer an eyesore and is now a place where you can spot rabbits.

You recognize the kids who pass by on bikes, the seniors out walking their dogs.

It is entirely reasonable to never want this to change.

What sort of person looks at their neighbourhood and only wishes for change and growth and greater density?

Is it possible to stop change? No. The corner store will close, the kids on bikes will drive cars, the neighbours will move, someone will eventually build on that vacant lot.

That doesn’t mean we can’t revel in our love of place. It doesn’t mean we have to accept the mantra that progress is inevitable and inevitably good.

It is not morally wrong to feel content with the way things are at this moment in time.

So please, when next you are speaking to your politicians or your local reporter, drop this empty phrase. Maybe you are for development, maybe you wish you could preserve your neighbourhood in amber, inviolate.

Either way, don’t bring development into it. Tell me instead why you love the way things are in the place you call home.

Matthew Claxton is a reporter at the Langley Advance.

Letter

New Dentures

IKEA STRIKE

or a

Family ties are being severed The Editor, I have never written a letter to the Editor before, but feel compelled to do so, after chatting with some Ikea employees who have been locked out/on strike since May. We are fast approaching our Family Day in Richmond. Sadly, we have a broken family here in Richmond, and it has been broken for almost eight months.

Ikea was once thought of as a family store. The city has always felt a sense of pride that Ikea was in our community and that people came from all over the Lower Mainland to shop at this store. It was built for families and it welcomed families. The employees were also considered part of the Ikea family.

But all that changed in May 2013.

Employees were told that their full-time

hours were going to be reduced and their hourly rate would be decreased.

Ikea in Sweden (where Ikea began) supports the Richmond Ikea employees who have been locked out for the past seven months.

After almost eight months, the locked out employees have had to find work elsewhere to take care of their families.

The store continues to sell product, albeit at a reduced capacity: no restaurant; no babysitting; no returns ... but how is new stock delivered to the store, because no unionized trucker should be crossing that picket line?

Shame on you Richmond Ikea; this is not how you should treat your family.

Marie Murtagh A former Ikea shopper

GRATITUDE

Whoever you are, thanks The Editor, I would like to say, thank you to the unknown man who stood beside my sprawled and bleeding body in Richmond Centre’s parking lot, phoned 911, and waited long enough to make sure help had arrived before leaving.

short films to compliment the exhibition of Keith Langergraber’s Theatre of the Exploding Sun, which runs Feb. 8 to April 6.

Langergraber’s exhibition focuses on a three-part film, Time Traveller Trilogy, completed in 2013, and also includes seven sculptures and two suites of drawings.

According to the gallery, the work is situated in sci-fi culture and Langergraber’s film mimics the form of sci-fi fan films with a complicated story that weaves throughout the trilogy, with scenes shot in such varied locales as the Cayman Islands, the Yukon, Great Salt Lake in Utah, Lake Okanagan, Mono Lake in California, and Pavilion Lake near Cache Creek.

Langergraber told the News Pavilion Lake is an intriguing site since NASA is examining it as part of its possible future exploration of Mars. Pavilion could help explain the development of fresh water coral reefs that may have at some time appeared on the red planet.

A long-time science fiction film fan — he remembers Star Wars as the first film that wowed him — Langergraber said he is mainly inspired by landscapes. But that fits in well with his love for the silver screen genre and B.C.’s topography, which has been skillfully manipulated by the film industry to be taken for many otherworldly destinations.

“The industry has carried on the Canadian tradition of looking at landscapes and taking another slant and making it something else,” he said.

To see video of video of artist Keith Langergraber

And sci-fi fans simply love that, he said, adding there are still some devotees who make pilgrimages to sites across B.C. where the TV series The X-Files was shot.

As for the show’s invitation for sci-fi fan-shot films, Langergraber said it presents an interesting shift as “consumers become producers.”

Along with Cinevolution Media Arts, the gallery is looking for short films, plus spoken word readings for a Sci-Fi Fan Fiction Film Screening and Open Mic event April 4 at the Richmond Cultural Centre.

Cinevolution Media Arts Society will be helping judge the entries.

Selected films will be presented on the Richmond Cultural Centre’s screen in the new state-of-the-art Performance Hall.

Selected authors will be given the opportunity to read their stories to a receptive crowd of sci-fi enthusiasts.

Submissions are only being accepted by email.

Film/video entries are to include a YouTube link, while fiction entrants are asked to attach their text as a pdf document, as an excerpt of 250-500 words from an original manuscript.

Entries can be sent to info@cinevolutionmedia. com. Deadline for submissions is Feb. 10.

City seeks Arts Chinese New Year celebrations Awards nominations Prepared by the Richmond Arts Coalition

Feb 1

The sixth annual Richmond Arts Awards are just around the corner and the city is calling for the public to nominate deserving candidates.

Do you know an artistic leader from Richmond who deserves recognition?

Is there a business or an individual who has supported the arts in Richmond, above and beyond the call of duty?

If so, then nominate them for the Richmond Arts Awards before Monday, March 17.

The awards will celebrate excellence in six categories: Business and the Arts; Volunteerism; Cultural Leadership; Artistic Innovation; Arts Education and Youth Arts.

All artistic disciplines are eligible: visual, performing, literary and culinary arts, as well as craft, environmental arts and new media.

To date, the program has attracted more than 130 nominations among the six categories, recognizing both well-established institutions, as well as rising stars in Richmond’s music, theatre, dance and literary arts scenes.

Three finalists in each of the six categories will be named on Friday, April 18.

Established in 2009, the Richmond Arts Awards program is designed to recognize the achievements in and contributions to the arts by Richmond residents, artists, educators, organizers and business leaders. The public is encouraged to submit nominations by Monday, March 17 at 5 p.m. for the awards, which will be announced in May 2014 by Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Friday Feature CHINESE APOLOGY

Finding the right words ain’t always easy Province grappling with how to apologize to Chinese community for century-old legislated discrimination The rusting, near century old railway spike Bill Chu gently cradles in his palm is much more than a simple keepsake to him.

It’s symbolic of a time in B.C. when discrimination was legislated — a dark passage in the province’s history Chu and others are hoping is amended with an apology to the Chinese community from the province.

It’s the focus of a series of seven public consultation meetings titled Apology for Historical Wrongs being held around B.C. and concluding in Richmond next Monday (Jan. 27).

Chu’s railway spike is a flaking relic from the railroad building efforts through the Fraser Canyon where much of the labour was done by Chinese immigrants. Often, the most dangerous jobs were given to them as the workforce was considered “expendable” — a categorization that gave rise to the derogatory saying “You don’t have a Chinaman’s chance.”

“There were Thekla Lit no standards, no safety rules and the Chinese were considered disposable,” said Chu, who belongs to the group Canadians for Reconciliation Society. “(The expression) was derived from the white foremen watching the Chinese workers entering the railway tunnels with explosives and betting on whether the workers would survive.”

It’s one of the highlights in Chu’s examination of discriminatory practices from B.C.’s past that includes more than 100 pieces of legislation focusing on the Chinese community that restrict employment, voting or holding public office, property ownership and imposed punitive licensing and taxes derived from a person’s place of birth or ethnicity.

The most prominent was the Chinese Head Tax. Federally implemented, but made at the

behest of the provincial government, it went into effect in 1855 and required Chinese entering Canada to initially pay the then substantial fee of $50. Later it would rise to $500 — roughly the equivalent of two years’ pay at the time.

In 1923, Canada passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which in effect stopped Chinese immigration to Canada for nearly a quarter of a century.

As a result, the Chinese population in Canada went from 46,500 in 1931 to about 32,500 in 1951.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was in effect until 1947, the same year Chinese Canadians regained the right to vote. But it wasn’t until 1967 that the final elements of the Chinese Exclusion Act were eliminated.

Lit: Education a key Continued from Page 16 “The result is that when those from other countries seek an apology from the Japanese government, the younger generation there does not understand why,” she said. “There is then no common ground for reconciliation and animosity still exists,” she said, adding the same situation could apply to B.C. “Of course we want a genuine apology with some redemptive action to show the sincerity. We also need a lot of public education and education in the school system,” Lit said, adding it would have been beneficial to have had that in place prior to the round of public consultation meetings were started.

“I believe that only when people have a real understanding will they know why the reconciliation process is so important,” she said.

Critical of the process is Chu, who likened the process to an extension of the B.C. Party’s much maligned ethnic outreach strategy which sought to lure votes from various communities through methods such as public apologies.

“The public needs to wake up to the fact that this is just a PR exercise,” he said, “a pat on the back for a hall full of Chinese people. This is very divisive because it sets the Chinese against the non-Chinese. And that’s not what reconciliation is all about.”

It is also making divisions within the Chinese community, he claimed.

“The new Chinese immigrants have no idea of what happened in the past, and they can say all kinds of easy things like ‘any apology is better than no apology.’ I hear that a lot,” addd Chu. Chu said the province is treating Chinese people as the only stakeholder in B.C.’s reconciliation process when it should be inclusive. But it is not too late for British Columbians to realize the danger of such divide and conquer tactics, he said “This is not about nit-picking at the government,” he added. “It’s about humanity that has committed a crime. And we need to redeem ourselves, somehow, as a people, together. Not just patting one side on the back, hoping they will go away happy. We should have the faith that some-

“We live in the shadow of a big colonial period, and unfortunately not many people realize that.”

New immigrants are interested

Richmond finds itself in a unique position on the matter. While the majority of residents are of Chinese ethnicity, most are recent immigrants and do not have a connection to the discriminatory practices of the past, said Henry Beh, executive director of the Richmond Chinese Community Society.

Still, that has not dampened the local population’s interest in the issue.

“Even though there is no direct connection to many, we don’t want that history repeated,” Beh said, adding British Columbia was the most racist province at the time with legislation that impacted not only the Chinese, but Japanese and South Asian immigrants.

“I’m an immigrant, too. I came here from Malaysia 40 years ago. But I am interested, too, in the history. And when I read about it, it was really a shameful period for British Columbia, and Canada.

Asked if current immigration regulations are just another form of discrimination, Beh termed them as “restrictions” see Wat page 18

GULF OF GEORGIA CANNERY SOCIETY ARCHIVES, CFC-3-21-6, CANFISCO COLLECTION

An undated photo of two Chinese workers arrange cans onto trays for cooking in a retort (large oven) at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery in Steveston.

Head Tax helped spark local cannery union Restrictions put Chinese labour in greater demand While many Chinese immigrants suffered under discriminatory legislation in B.C. of more than a century ago, others actually profited.

In the mid 1880s the major source of labour for canneries in Richmond and Vancouver was governed by “Chinese” contracts which agreed to supply a specified number of workers for the canning season in return for a stipulated amount per case of salmon processed.

At the Gulf of Georgia Cannery in Steveston, that route was taken from 1894 to 1930.

But the Head Tax effectively put a strangle hold on the labour supply, prompting the formation of the Chinese Cannery Employees Union in 1904.

The union demanded wage guarantees and significant wage increases when the Head Tax increased to $500 after 1904.

Workers who were earning $1.25 a day at the turn of the century were then able to demand $65 a month, sparking an outcry from some cannery management who stated

the Chinese workers were the “most useful implements for the development of the country.”

To address the labour shortage and hopefully bring the wages back into line some cannery owners sought a reduction of the Head Tax to $100 which drew little support from the average working man.

According to Patricia E. Roy’s book A White Man’s Province, “While salmon canning was a job well left to the Chinese, white workingmen did not want any more of them.”

But that did not quell calls for a reduction of the tax as Chinese labour became increasingly scarce.

One columnist, named Gwen, for the Vancouver News-Advertiser called for the revocation of the “imbecile” $500 Head Tax. “Why should we women be forced to give up our homes, why should we be forced to neglect our children, our sewing and our requisite rest and recreation because we cannot afford the high wages demanded by Chinese since the imposition of the $500 tax.”

SIPS HAPPEN

diners during a quiet time when people are budgeting and on diets. With enticing prices, it’s a popular way to discover new places and to revisit old favourites.

Although Carver’s is in the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel, it is built for the local community, not the hotel clientele.

On a foggy Tuesday night, there was a full house in this classic American-style steak house with its subdued lighting and generous use of wood.

While the staff is dressed formally and the décor looks elegant, the service is friendly and knowledgeable.

Maître’d Michael Hajdukovich and servers Senka Zelic and Jordana Pandolso, work as a team, each familiar with what you ordered and doing their best to make you feel comfortable and special.

Senka suggested we share each other’s courses, which made our night out a culinary adventure.

All their beef is Certified Angus and the fresh seafood is sustainable and certified by Ocean Wise. To cater to the Richmond clientele, several items have tasty Asian ingredients.

And to raise the dining experience to a higher level, each of the selections is paired with a delicious BC VQA wine.

At $8.50 a glass, it’s a bargain for the quality offered.

While waiting for our appetizers, my guest and I sipped a Sumac Ridge Stellar Jay, B.C.’s excellent version of Champagne, and Blue Mountain’s Sauvignon Blanc.

And as we toasted our evening out, we enjoyed the freshly baked walnut and cranberry bread and a French baguette with its classic crunchy crust.

My guest ordered the iceberg salad, which is enjoying a renaissance. On a long white plate, the salad is spread out with wedges of lettuce, sprinkled with Stilton blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, radishes, French

dressing, and lardons.

But the star of the salad is thick squares of double smoked Berkshire bacon.

My companion would come back just for the salad!

I chose something new for me, the roasted bone marrow which came with crispy sourdough croutons and a small parsley salad.

The marrow adds a contrast to the fried bread with its thick jelly against the crunch of the sourdough.

It’s more about texture than flavour. Surprisingly, the salad was full of personality and added a lovely crescendo to the plate.

My currry braised chuck flat included six large cubes of steak on top of Jeera hash, a mildly spiced curried rice, and accompanied by sesame-flavoured stir fried gai lan. I enjoyed the meaty flavour of the Angus beef and its melt-in- your -mouth tenderness.

It paired well with the Inniskillin Cabernet Sauvignon, bursting with cassis fruit and smooth mocha character.

When my guest’s halibut arrived, she could tell that it would be moist inside.

And sure enough, under the crispy sear, was a moist, meaty piece of fish. Not what you might expect in a steakhouse! Underneath the halibut was an equally tasty quinoa salad with toasted almonds, cranberries, pomegranates, and dried apricots.

The Inniskillin Chardonnay, with its buttery oak and fruit character, was a delicious companion.

To end the relaxing evening, we both enjoyed sharing the trio of cheesecakes, lemon, chocolate with banana, and raspberry.

Our second dessert was a chocolate terrine, which Senka described as a “queen of a dessert.”

It was indeed a royal dish, with its silky chocolate mousse balanced with a layer of vanilla mousse, all sandwiched between crispy cookie wafers and strawberry and cream on top.

Very elegant yet light.

And marvelous with the port-like Sumac Ridge Pipe, full of sweetness, cherries, plums, and coffee. ! Carver’s Steakhouse: Classy and they make you feel pampered! 7211 Westminster Highway. 604207-7107.

Coventry unleashes its latest quick cat

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Cool Britannia. Britannia rules the roads.

Well, with a Jaguar in the early 1960s, maybe. That’s when the leaping cat from Coventry was a favourite of movie stars, sports heroes and the well-heeled who could afford the sleek E-Type.

Fast forward five decades or so and go up one notch on the alphabet and the nowIndian owned manufacturer is hoping to cash in on some nostalgia with its all-new, F-Type model.

But don’t think Jag is going all retro to turn the heads of today’s roadster enthusiasts.

No, this latest offering is all-new and a much more aggressive departure from the XK8, XKR — its most recent predecessors — and certainly the XJS models whose DNA was laced more with touring car civility than the race car persona the F-Type

And at the top of the line is the F-Type R which gives you access to 550 horsepower.

If those numbers are impressive, so too are the zero to 100 km/h times the F-Type accomplishes as even the two, 3.0 litre V6 power plants can reach the magical mark in a scant 4.9 to 5.3 seconds.

As you might expect, the pair of V8 models make even shorter work of the acceleration test with times of 4.1 to 4.3 seconds.

That’s certainly a lot of on-the-road authority, but in Jaguar style the F-Type’s builders have not forgotten to cosset its occupants in comfort, as well.

The dash and gauges are set low to give the driver good sight lines. And the race car-inspired steering wheel with its flattened rim along its middle spoke reminds you this is a car that wants to be driven to its capacity.

And if you think you’re up to that, check your bank account because it will test your financial wherewithal as the base F-Type starts at $76,900.

The F-Type S tacks on a little more with a sticker price of $88,900.

And the top of the line F-Type V8S starts at $100,900.

So, that means you may have to jump a few tax brackets, or wait for that family inheritance to get you the keys. But if or when you do, you’ll be getting the latest in a long line of British motoring heritage.

ATLANTIC OCEAN

Bermuda, through the eyes of Mark Twain Travel Writers’ Tales

BY JAMES ROSS

Famous writer described island a step above heaven, he wasn’t far off the Mark

ark Twain, the ever articulate, globe-trotting American humourist once remarked, “Bermuda is the right country for a jaded man to loaf in.”

It is as I’m checking into the luxurious Fairmont Hamilton Princess that I spy the familiar figure of Samuel Clemens, Mark Twain, sitting on a lobby bench behind me.

I am initially taken aback. Here was the author of my childhood favourites, The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, with his trademark bushy moustache and unruly thick head of hair, sitting relaxed, legs crossed, and arm extended along the bench’s back.

I realize, as my eyes adjust, what I’m seeing is the master wordsmith immortalized by a life-size bronze statue.

Twain was a frequent guest here at the Princess, in the opulent hotel’s early days.

He would relax on the veranda puffing on his cigar, reciting poetry and regaling guests with tall tales.

He had fallen in love with this tiny and

Twain loved the pace, the company and the weather. Bermuda’s impeccable location means the island is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the sun’s rays, but free of the tropics’ relentless heat.

Bermuda is blessed with an abundance of charms. Iridescent turquoise waters, pink beaches and tropical flavours attract most visitors, but the island is also safe, clean, orderly and polite.

There are many enchanting little nooks to explore, a rich history, diverse cultures and exceptional natural beauty. The famous author found life on Bermuda the perfect medicine for his harried life on the mainland.

“There is just enough of whispering breeze, fragrance of flowers, and sense of repose to raise one’s thoughts heavenward,” he would say.

The island paradise would call Twain back another seven times, and for some 187 days over the next 43 years, and he would become one of Bermuda’s most famous advocates.

He wrote about Bermuda’s seductiveness,

pristine island, far out in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina, since his first visit in 1867.

Princess, another statue stands inside the Bank of Butterfield and an imposing bronze bust is in the front entrance of XL Capital’s Bermudiana Road building.

During a most memorable meal at the historic Waterlot Inn, a charming dockside restaurant established in 1670, I am told by my waiter that Twain was once a frequent diner.

I’m not surprised.

The inn can’t be surpassed for history, local charm and quality of food.

As Twain grew older, he spent more and more time visiting the island — so much so that he fought to ban cars here.

Though the bustle of vehicles is apparent now, no rental cars are available for island visitors.

The best way to get around is by taxis or motor bikes, which are fun, if a little dangerous.

No worries, if you run into trouble with your scooter, you can visit the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. Twain helped raise funds for various projects on the island,

and these stories helped attract many affluent visitors. On Jan. 1, 1885, the Hamilton Princess opened to accommodate these new travellers.

Twain was one of the first visitors to experience the Crystal Caves, an underground world of delicate splendour. Two youngsters discovered the caves in 1905 during a game of cricket, and visitors can now descend easily into a magnificent cavern of crystal stalactites and stalagmites which surround a deep lake of azure blue.

In Hamilton is the picturesque Par-la-Ville Park, where Twain admired the enormous rubber tree during his first island visit, though he was disappointed that it didn’t bear a crop of hot water bottles and rubber overshoes.

The formal flowerbeds, exotic plants and quiet places to sit, invite visitors to take a refreshing break from shopping or sightseeing.

Exploring Bermuda, one comes across the footsteps of Twain everywhere. Besides the bronze of the writer at the Hamilton

including what was then called the Bermuda Cottage Hospital.

Other modes of island travel are ferries, horse-drawn carriages (favoured by Twain), and an extensive and friendly bus system.

As travellers still do, Twain encountered something very special during his first visit to Bermuda, and went back to seek it there again and again.

“You go to heaven if you want to,” Twain wrote from Bermuda in 1910 during his last visit, “I’d rather stay here.”

The writer seemingly got his wish — though he died shortly afterwards, he seems to live on in this island paradise.

IF YOU GO

Where to stay: The Fairmont Hamilton Princess was one of Twain’s preferred residences. The property also provides free ferry service to its sister resort, the palatial Fairmont Southampton on the island’s south side. Visit www.fairmont.com.

Chinese New Year YEAR OF THE HORSE

What’s in store for your animal this lunar year?

Rat

The Rat needs to be open-minded, expand his/her network and meet good people. Help people and participate in charitable causes. When starting things out, do not have excessively high expectations, but rather, hoping to complete tasks without problems should be the goal. The Rat must reason things out meticulously and clearly, and try to minimize losses by not being greedy or impulsive.

Lucky colours: gold, silver and beige.

Unlucky colours: Black, Red, Green and Blue. Lucky numbers: 1, 6 and 7 Unlucky numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9 Lucky gemstones: White Jade or Agate Feng shui placement:

Ox

With better stars in position, the Ox’s luck in the year of the Horse in terms of career and luck is relatively better than the previous year. However, the Ox needs to ensure that personal matters don’t affect work The Ox needs to stay active and motivated.

Things cycle up and down, so the Ox needs to understand him/herself and plan for when circumstances change. So at the beginning of the year, when luck is good, the Ox needs to be humble, work hard to the best of his/her ability and deal with matters wisely.

In terms of relationships this year, the Ox

will easily attract potential partners, especially for the single Ox, he/she may finally find the right person. Lucky colours: White, Yellow, Brown and Pink Unlucky colours: Gold, Silver and Green Lucky numbers: 2, 5, 8 and 9 Unlucky numbers: 1, 3, 4 and 7 Lucky gemstones: Ruby and Aquamarine to improve financial luck.

Tiger

There are some lucky stars in the path of the Tiger this year where there are people willing to help the Tiger and where reputation can be achieved. However, there are also some unlucky stars where amongst the good is the embedded bad. The Tiger will tend to be impulsive and ill-tempered, greedy but lacking in practical goals, overly subjective and bases decisions on too much instinct.

THE YEAR OF THE HORSE DATE: TIME: LOCATION:

Rabbit

The Year of the Horse for the Rabbit is a year of good luck embedded with bad luck. Things will fall into place at the end of the year, but if the Rabbit is careless, even at the last step, there may be failure. Because the water and fire elements are opposing each other, the Rabbit tends to be lazy this year, lacking ambition and motivation, but at the same time, having high expectations. Remember, the faster you want something, the less likely you will achieve it.

Lucky colours: Green, Blue and White Unlucky colours: Red, Brown, Yellow and Black Lucky numbers: 1, 3, and 4 Unlucky numbers: 2, 5, 7 and 8 Lucky gemstones: Lapis Lazuli & Agate

Dragon

This is a year of initial obstacles, encountering challenges and difficulties, which are subsequently overcome. Especially in the beginning of the year, the Dragon needs to be meticulous and should not be greedy or impulsive, or else fall prey to false people and ideas, leading to serious mistakes. If mistakes are made in the beginning of the year, even if opportunities arise in the middle of the year, not much could be done. Therefore, especially in the beginning, be very careful not to make

mistakes.

There are many relationship opportunities for the Dragon this year. The single Dragon who travel abroad can keep an eye out for a potential partner.

Lucky colours: White, Yellow, Brown and Purple Unlucky colours: Black, Gold, Silver and Green.

Lucky numbers: 1, 2, 5, and 9 Unlucky numbers: 3, 4, 6 and 7 Lucky gemstones: Coral and Agate

Monkey

The Monkey is generally not compatible with the year of the Horse, and especially with some unlucky stars in alignment, where it is a year of change and obstacles, particularly at the beginning of the year. The Monkey cannot be arrogant and overconfident this year and take risks.

Rooster

For the Rooster in the year of the Horse, luck tends to be unstable.

Therefore, in the first half of the year, the Rooster should strive for stability and not be too ambitious. Now, of course, one should face problems with courage and not easily give up. If the Rooster feels hopeless, blames others for the problems and not take responsibility, then luck will continue to decline.

Dog

The Dog’s luck in the year of the Horse is actually not bad with some good stars in place.

However, there are also some unlucky stars in the way. There will be unpredictable, unforeseen events that may lead the Dog off track. This is a year where the Dog can win, but it is unstable.

Lucky colours: Pink, Brown and Purple; Unlucky colours: Green, Gold and

Blue.

Pig

For the Pig in the year of the Horse, luck can be considered average. For everything, the Pig should not be impulsive and quick to act.

Furthermore, there should be a focus on stability. In the face of the unfamiliar or where there is not great certainty, the Pig needs to refrain, even though it may seem like it works for others for example, making big money, the Pig should still stay away.

Therefore, the Pig must not follow the trend, doing what others do, or else the Pig will be aboard a sinking ship.

Lucky colours: Blue, Black, Gold, Silver and White; Unlucky colours: Green, Yellow and Brown; Lucky numbers: 1, 6 and 7; Unlucky numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9; Lucky gemstones: yellow agate and amethyst, which can help luck with people and prosperity.

Longtime Seafair coach takes over Delta Ice Hawks Derek Chichak has only a handful of games to prepare his team for upcoming Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs

BY MARK BOOTH

mbooth@richmond-news.com

The Richmond Sockeyes were happy to remind Derek Chichak just how much work needs to be done over the next few weeks to close the gap between the Delta Ice Hawks and the top team in the Pacific Junior Hockey League.

The longtime and successful Seafair Minor Hockey coach watched his squad fall into an early hole and never recover in a 6-2 loss to the Sockeyes last week. Richmond has now reeled off 15 consecutive wins and clearly any thoughts of making a deep playoff run will mean somehow finding a way to be successful at Minoru Arena.

Chichak has guided the Ice Hawks to a 2-2 record since taking over the coaching duties two weeks ago. The Ice Hawks were the league’s best team through two months of the season before a complete free fall that dropped them to third in their conference and prompted a change behind the bench.

“We just felt for the past six weeks the club hasn’t improved and it might be even a little longer than that,” said Ice Hawks general manager Peter Zerbinos. “I have watched us become stagnate while other teams have got a lot better. It’s something I have to take responsibility for as well.

“I have known Derek for a long time and we have had a huge flavour of Seafair Minor Hockey players on this team that have brought us a lot of success who were coached by him. This is a long term commitment we have made.”

Chichak’s Ice Hawk alumni includes Ryan Cuthbert, Cody Fidgett and Aaron Merrick who all had leading

roles in the club winning the PIJHL championship two years ago. His son Sam Chichak captained the Richmond Sockeyes to the provincial and Western Canadian championships last season. His older son Andrew also played for Richmond.

“It’s a pretty neat connection. At one point I recall seeing 10 of my former players in the line-up (between the Ice Hawks and the Sockeyes),” said Chichak who has brought

Derek Chichak has guided the Delta Ice Hawks to a 2-2 record since taking over as head coach.

his longtime assistant Bob Walker with him.

He has just six regular season games remaining to reverse the club’s fortunes for the upcoming playoffs.

Chichak has seen enough of his club in the past week to know there is no way they can play a wide open game and exchange scoring chances with the league’s elite teams all night. Where the Sockeyes have 11 players with 18 or more points in their line-up, the Ice Hawks have just six.

“Richmond has a lot of speed and they use it,” he said.

“They move the puck quick and try to expose you one-onone. With speed like that you can do it. That’s why we have to engage them and try to slow them down. We did that in stretches of the game but not consistently enough.

“It’s going to take a different style (than past Ice Hawk teams). We have big guys so we need to crash the net and get pucks to it. Some of the guys are just not used to that kind of style. Our top line wants to move the puck around with a lot of possession but we’re getting no shots from it.”

The Ice Hawks’ immediate concern is finishing no worse than third in their conference. That would set-up a more favourable opening round playoff match-up with North Vancouver, before worrying about the Sockeyes. By then, Chichak hopes to have put his stamp on this team, at least the best one can do taking over the coaching reigns at this late juncture of the season.

“We are at least over the corner now. We had the courtship, marriage and honeymoon all in one weekend,” he laughed. “The biggest challenge is knowing the personnel and getting a feel of what they do, what their personalties are and what they bring to the game.

“It’s tough because it’s a short period of time, not three or four months.”

Sports Surging Canadians face Chiefs in key Major Midget weekend series The Greater Vancouver Canadians will look to strengthen its grip on fourth place in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with a key weekend series against the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs.

The surging Canadians (16-12-1) moved past the Chiefs (15-11-4) last weekend by taking three of four points from the South Island Royals. They now have a 10-2-1 record in their last 13 games. The series opener goes Saturday morning (10 a.m.) at the Richmond Olympic Oval, before the teams head to Planet Ice in Coquitlam on Sunday.

Greater Vancouver have 10 regular season games remaining, including seven at home. The top four teams will host the best-of-three opening round of the provincial playoffs.

Last Saturday in Langley, blueliner Scott Munro had a four point outing, including a pair of goals, to lead the Canadians to a 5-3 win over the

Yes, They’re Real

In her new tome, The Body Book, Cameron Diaz shares her experiences for a healthier, happier, fitter life.

If you’re like us, fake eyelashes are usually reserved for special events (think hot dates and girls’ night out), mostly because it’s tedious to apply and remove them.

But thanks to Benefit’s They’re Real mascara we are rocking the big, beautiful lash look daily.

Registration from $60 • Ages 5 & up

And we must say, it’s actually a breath of fresh air from the sometimes eye-rolling, out-of-touch celebrity lifestyle books. Diaz has an enviable body and an effortless California-girl thing about her so we were intrigued to find out her secrets.

This miracle mascara is basically an every-day substitute for fake eyelashes and packs a double punch with volume and length. We also love the tiny bristles on the edge of the brush to get those small inner lashes.

Thankfully, we didn’t find suggestions for crash diets or ridiculous detox cleanses, but instead helpful, realistic advice like how to sneak in exercise throughout your day and chugging a huge glass of lemon water first thing in the morning to kick start your day.

While we all love fancy kid’s clothing, the most frequently worn items always end up being the simple, comfy ones.

Head over to the West End’s Nicola Street, with its charming heritage homes and boutiques, then stop for a lunch at the neighbourhood’s newest resident, the Greenhorn Espresso Bar. From the outside it blends in with the surrounding shops, but step inside and the high ceilings, massive red chandelier, distressed wood tables and stylish crowd scream Portland-cool.
