The story continues in Steveston... Clayton Perry photo Crews film a scene on Moncton Street for the ABC TV series Once Upon a Time Friday night. Photographer Clayton Perry captured this shot around 10 p.m. after the crew had finished its setup work, converting a storefront to appear as a pawn shop in Storybrooke, Maine. Actor Josh Dallas later appeared in the scene. The show, which is using Steveston Village as a set, premieres Oct. 23.

Steveston grad wins Emmy Jason Korber, 39, gets nod for civil war flick by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter For a man who’s just been honoured with a Creative Arts Emmy for his visual effects work on a civil war TV movie, Steveston High grad and Richmond resident Jason Korber is surprisingly indifferent. Maybe it’s the fact the 39-year-old is in the midst of gruelling 14-hour days in front of his computer screen, where the digital

For personal reasons, Korber wasn’t able to attend last Saturday’s gala in Los Angeles, where the Creative Arts Emmys were handed out. So when his name was called, he wasn’t there to walk on stage and accept the trophy. Such is the busy nature of his schedule that he hasn’t yet seen the movie for which he’s been honoured. From executive producers Ridley Scott— the English film director and producer behind Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator and American Gangster—and Tony Scott, Gettysburg is two-hour television documentary film.

compositor for Stargate Studios in Vancouver adds explosions, changes skies, and makes people and crowds almost magically appear and vanish in films. Or the fact he’s just been in a car accident. In any event, he wasn’t nearly as excited as his family was. “It felt good,” Korber told The Richmond Review this week, sneaking in time for an interview even though his workload demands he’s at his computer six days a week. During one particularly taxing stretch, he worked 35 days straight on one project. But he’s loving every minute of it.

Former school board chair joins council race

Entrepreneur makes a Dragon deal Former Richmond resident Dan Plante lands deal for Chawel on national TV by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Dan Plante couldn’t have asked for much more from his appearance on Wednesday night’s season premiere of CBC TV’s Dragons’ Den. The former longtime local and current White Rock resident was offering 35 per cent of his business for $100,000, hoping to mine the connections of the panel of multi-millionaire entrepreneurs and investors, including the founder of Richmond-headquartered restaurant chain Boston Pizza, Jim Treliving. His product: the Chawel, a towel that’s part change-room, part blan-
ket, part sleeping bag and part neck pillow. Not only did Plante appear on the premiere, the lifeguard opened the popular show’s sixth season, walking up to the Dragons while sporting swim trunks, and alongside two bikini-clad models he’d hired in Toronto. “If ever there was an infomercial product that’s come on this show, this is it,” said marketing guru Arlene Dickinson, who said she was impressed by the product and by Plante, who she called “the real deal.” Observed O’Leary Funds chair Kevin O’Leary: “There was a product called the Snuggie which sold hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was an in-
fomercial product.” Plante finally shook hands with Dickinson—who gave him precisely what he’d requested—but in the four months since the show was shot, there hasn’t been much progress on the creation of an informercial. But Plante’s been flooded with orders since Wednesday night’s airing— many from family and friends—which coincided nicely with the launch of his revamped website. “I was very nervous,” Plante said of his appearance in front of the Dragons on the CBC soundstage in Toronto. He was surprised that almost before he finished pitching his product, the Dragons began making him offers.
Treliving, O’Leary, and Robert Herjavec also made offers. “I thought my whole show was going to be arguing it was a good product,” he said. Plante, who is now a proud father of a two-and-half-month-old girl, is heading off to San Francisco where he’ll be pitching his product to dragon boaters and triathletes at a series of events. And although green may be in his future, Plante knows about the people who’ve supported him to get where he is today. “I owe my family and other half big time. They’ve been so patient with the amount of work I’m doing.”
‘Star Wars’ ignited Korber’s fascination with movies From Page 1
It showcases the pivotal 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, by following the stories of eight men as they risk their lives for what they believe in. Born in Saskatoon, Korber and his family moved to Richmond in 1978, when he attended Maple Lane Elementary School. After a brief return to Saskatoon, he went to Charles E. London Junior Secondary, before becoming a proud Packer and graduating from Steveston High in 1990. Korber recalls how as a five-year-old, the first movie he ever saw was Star Wars, igniting his fascination with movies and the behind-the-scenes work that makes spaceships fly around.
He read every book on the subject that he could get his hands on. “It was kind of a pipe dream, but now, here I am.” His route to his current career, however, was anything but direct. After earning an undergraduate degree in anthropology and archeology, Korber was confounded. “It was kind of, where do I go from here.” So he turned to film school to pursue his childhood dream, attending the school that afterward became The Art Institute, in Burnaby. There he learned everything from shooting to post-production work, including the use of software.
And while last Saturday’s Emmy was a welcomed affirmation that he’s doing good work, there was another positive indicator. “I’ve always known I was doing well at this, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to last that long.” Asked about his latest projects, Korber said his handiwork will appear in the new ABC TV series Missing, which stars Ashley Judd, a former CIA operative whose son is kidnapped during a trip to Europe, and she goes to find him. He’s also worked on The Killing, Human Target, and Walking Dead. Asked if his work will eventually require him to the leave the Lower Mainland for places like Los Angeles, Korber said that
doesn’t appear to be the case. Vancouver trails only Los Angeles and New York for movie production work, he said, with more post-production houses relocating here because of the strong tax incentives that make the Lower Mainland cheaper than the U.S. Vancouver also has a lot going for it, and its urban centre can easily pass for any major urban centre in the world, and has the ocean, mountains and even a desert nearby, he said. And while TV series used to comprise the bulk of the work, feature films now seem to be outstripping that. That, along with his award-winning talents, makes for a rosy outlook for Korber and his wife.
School trustee Linda McPhail announced Wednesday she’ll seek a seat on city council in the November municipal election. “People have been clamoring for common sense in our city, from increasing taxes to the threat of development in our single family neighbourhoods, and I’m stepping up to join the debate,” she said in a news release. McPhail is a three-term trustee who has served as school board chair for seven years. A member of Richmond First, McPhail will run with a slate that includes incumbent councillors Derek Dang, Ken Johnston and Bill McNulty. She has also served on boards for the Seafair Minor Hockey Association and Richmond Arenas Community Association, and has volunteered with the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary for 20 years. McPhail will be taking on a fellow school trustee in the Nov. 19 election, as Carol Day announced earlier this week she’s running for the office of councillor under the Richmond Independent Team of Electors banner. Other candidates who’ve announced bids to unseat an incumbent are Cynthia Chen, De Whalen and Michael Wolfe.
Whitecaps boss to speak at chamber lunch Vancouver Whitecaps FC boss Paul Barber will speak at the next Richmond Chamber of Commerce luncheon later this month. On Thursday, Sept. 29, the chamber will host Barber at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, 7551 Westminster Hwy., at noon. From calling three different venues home in one year, to re-developing a soccer club in North America based on the European model of participation, grassroots development and community involvement, Barber will discuss what it takes to launch a new major league sports franchise. Barber joined the Whitecaps in March 2010 from Tottenham Hotspur Football Club of the English Premier League. Visit richmondchamber. ca or call 604-278-2822 for more information.

Project highlights children’s rights by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Local kids are learning more about their rights, thanks to a community development initiative that aims to arm them with the things they need to succeed. Richmond Children First is a partnership of people and organizations with a common vision for the well being of local children from birth to the start of their teenage years. Helen Davidson, implementation manager for Richmond Children First, said local children were asked about their rights earlier this year, and created more than 2,500 bookmarks that represent their perspective of what rights are important to local kids.

activities are designed to take the Rights of the Child (a United Nations initiative which has been ratified by every country in the world) and make them uniquely relevant to our children here in Richmond,” Davidson said. The organization hopes that by recognizing conditions that Richmond chil-

EDITORIAL: There’s room for homework
T
he carefree days of summer are coming to an end and with the return to school comes the dreaded homework. What is homework and how much should a child get each day? These are common questions and are difficult to answer because teachers and parents often differ on homework and its purpose. Surveys have found many parents are worried that homework eats into family time and getting kids to do it is stressful. Although some parents appreciate the structure homework provides, others think it gets in the way of sports and other activities, and delays bedtime. Teachers don’t agree on the value of homework, either. Some educators view it as a way to extend learning; others see it as important for mastering skills like math or a new language; and yet others think it’s a waste of time. How much homework is sent home entirely depends on the teacher as their are no policies on homework at the district or provincial level. There is, however, a growing consensus that homework shouldn’t be just busy work but should help children make connections and deepen their understanding of classroom lessons. For example, colouring a photocopied map could be considered busy work but putting together a photo collage or making a diorama could enrich a child’s
Now that kids are back in school, the debate over the value of homework begins yet again.
understanding of a country. Many teachers are moving towards project-based learning, in which students come up with a project of inquiry, such as measuring the value of a local stream, and then study it from all angles. This would be a case
where homework is useful as students get to work on a project of their own choosing. There are many resources for parents but it’s not always obvious where to go and what to do about this topic. Learn Now BC (learnnowbc.ca) is one such
resource. But most parents will have to use their best judgment when it comes to homework. If they think the quantity appears to outweigh the quality, it may be time to make a phone call. —Black Press (Tri-City News)
Two simple, blunt truths of gardening
Shades of Green Arzeena Hamir
I
have been told by many (husband, parents, children) that I’m too blunt when I speak. Apparently, I’m not diplomatic enough when I share my many opinions. I know it’s true. I find it physically taxing to phrase things gently. I’d make a terrible politician. But sometimes, there are just inevitable truths that can’t be couched in
flowery terms. We all die, and yes, we have to pay taxes. It’s just the way it is. In the natural world, there are similar truths and so I, with my burning need to share my opinion, am just going to blurt them out. If you grow your tomatoes in Richmond, uncovered, you will get a fungal disease called late blight. The leaves will start to go dark brown and the fruit will rot. There’s no way around it. This is not tomato-growing country. They like hot, dry conditions. The spores are air born. There’s no way to prevent them from landing on your plants. What does work, however, is keeping your plants dry. Either grow your tomatoes in pots, up against the house where they’re protected by the eaves, or rig some kind of clear plastic umbrella over them so
that they don’t get rained on. It’s amazing the difference this makes. Dry tomato equals no blight. One of the simple truths of the gardening world. It breaks my heart when I see plants, covered in fruit, rotting. So here I am, spreading the news. Please keep your tomato plants dry. And if you don’t know who to do it, come over to the community garden in Terra Nova and have a look at some of the ingenious structures people have built over their tomatoes. Having said this, my own tomatoes were uncovered for the month of July. But, when rain was predicted in early August, I took the drastic measure of pulling out the plants, roots and all, and hanging them upside down in my garage. I’m eating delicious, sweet fruit that’s blight-free. The second simple truth
(and I’m going to limit myself to just two) is that if you grow fruit trees, and eating the fruits is one of your desires, you have to prune the trees. It’s one of the must-does of maintenance. You wouldn’t own a car and not take it for an oil change, or own a house and not get the gutters cleaned. Fruit trees, even the ones that are grafted onto dwarf rootstock, can grow 12 to 15 feet tall. The older, ungrafted trees get to be over 30 feet. They’re beautiful trees when they’re that big so if you want them in your garden for shade or for ornamental reasons, leave them as is. But if you, like me, don’t think that climbing up 15 feet onto a ladder so that you can balance on one foot while reaching for your fruit is a good idea, prune your trees. Keep them short. Otherwise, the only way you’ll get
Sometimes, there are just inevitable truths that can’t be couched in flowery terms. We all die, and yes, we have to pay taxes. It’s just the way it is. your fruit is after they fall and who wants to eat bruised fruit? So, please do me a favour and spread this message to your loved ones. I’m sure you’ll come up with a gentle way to nudge them. But if you need someone to be blunt, I’m happy to make house calls. Arzeena Hamir is co-ordinator of the Richmond Food Security Society.

IT’S PEAK SEASON FOR GREEN CANS Barbecues + yard work = peak season for Green Cans Leftover salad, unfinished hot dogs, vegetable peelings, used paper plates and other food scraps are not garbage – they’re a valuable resource in the organic cycle. It’s an easy cycle: from food scraps, to your Green Can, to composting facilities and back into the soil as valuable nutrients that help grow more food.
It’s easy to recycle food scraps: • Keep a small bin for food scraps in your kitchen • Empty the bin into your Green Can • You’re done! Help return this valuable resource back to the organic cycle through Green Can recycling or composting. Reminder: Please do not put any plastic in your Green Can, not even compostable or biodegradable plastic bags! Use newspaper, paper bin liners or paper food waste bags instead.

Barnum observed: “There is a sucker born every minute,â€? and with the regional mayors goosestepping in unison with TransLink’s demand for more money, it seems we are governed by “suckers.â€?

armageddon worked. What has not been tackled is why TransLink is short on cash. The answer is simple, yet the powers that be just do not want to hear it— it is SkyTrain. SkyTrain is a proprietary light-metro and the taxpayer is paying three to four times more to build with it instead with modern light rail. Put another way, for every one kilometre of SkyTrain built, we could have built three to four kilometres of light rail transit. The following example clearly illustrates the problem. Portland, Ore., for an investment of $3 billion, has 85 kilometres of LRT, operating on four lines, with 85 stations. Portland also has two streetcar lines. Vancouver, for an investment of over $8 billion, has 69 kilometres of SkyTrain and
Canada line light-metro (the Canada Line is not compatible with SkyTrain in operation), with 47 stations. For almost one-third the investment, Portland has a larger urban rail network, with more stations, servicing more destinations. For the anti-LRT crowd, today modern LRT can carry more passengers than SkyTrain and faster, if it is designed to do, yet it can be built very cheaply if need be. TransLink has bamboozled regional mayors with their SkyTrain nonsense for so long that they believe it themselves and the result is ever higher taxes to fund hugely expensive mini-metro projects that again demand even more money, which in turn, again increases taxes and so on and so on.

Do we really need smart meters? Editor: Smart meters may be smart, but we need to be smarter. The company that makes them sells all sorts of data collection devices and this one is tailored to BC Hydro’s speciďŹ cations. They are also equipped with mercury switches. All one has to do is think a bit about what they are able to do. They can and will measure usage all day long not once a day as stated by BC Hydro. Two-thirds of the people in Ontario who had smart meters installed had their hydro bill go up. This is nothing more than an effort by BC Hydro to be able to have different rates for peak hours billing. Even if these meters were doing some good, on principle this stinks. I refused a meter but only by putting a sign on the meter itself. Only to have received a phone call saying the meters are mandatory and they will be back to install the new meter at a later date. In other words we know what’s good for you, and you don’t. Now we may all indeed end up with these new meters. One person refusing to take the meter is not going to change their minds. But if BC Hydro is going to force this on people at the very least have the decency to tell the truth on their own agenda or reason for changing meters. And don’t categorically state that there are no long term health effects when they could not possibly know that. Dean Beauvais Richmond

The end of rabbit ears
Life Lessons Andrea Phillpotts
I
cut television cable out of my life about 15 years ago. Worried about the amount of crap television I was watching and the long hours that the TV was on, I went cold turkey, no cable. My boyfriend (eventually husband) wasn’t thrilled nor were the children that would eventually come, but because they moved into my apartment, the no cable policy became law. We had rabbit ears, of course, those spiky antennae that used to allow you to pick up local television without cable. With our ears, we were able to catch those essential television moments: 9/11 devastation, royal weddings and Olympic hockey finals. For electronic entertainment, my kids watched CBC Kids or videos I’d bought. Life without cable went on more or less smoothly. I rather enjoyed telling telephone cable salespeople that we didn’t want cable and were “weird people that don’t have cable for ideological reasons.” Still, our household became tense earlier this year with the Aug. 31 change from analog to digital television. Our essential television had come to include Glee and other programs that my preteens considered necessary for their cultural “normalcy.” While our TV probably logged in only three hours a week on average, no one was ready to go cold turkey with no TV whatsoever. Finally, I listened to the cable salespeople who kept calling. They could get me my Internet cable, phone, and television cable for less than I was paying for Internet alone. Even with the TV cable disconnected, the deal
could not be refused. So I signed up. Should I tell my family that we now had cable or keep it a secret? Would all those years of TV-free peace be undone? Would we become couch potatoes? The first week was exciting. My daughters scrolled through all the channels we now had and wrote notes in their diaries. My husband began to watch programs about giant river fish with intense interest. My four-year-old son learned how to turn on the TV. I began to get nervous as the sound of television filled up the house. And then— nothing. Like a new toy that had lost its lustre, the big box was forgotten and peace returned to the house (well at least no-TV peace.) I guess we’d learned to live with life without cable television and didn’t really need it. Perhaps over the years we’d found our inside entertainment with the Internet and programs on our iPods and

full of green fronds, red apples and tomatoes, orange squash, yellow zucchini, purple beets… We ate well. Dishes were simple and delicious. I did the challenge again the next year with similar thrills and excitements at the discoveries made at local farms and neighbours’ backyards. A community grew up around the challenge. People shared their findings. They planned for the next year. Have we lost some of our enthusiasm for eating local? Miles Smart at Cherry Lane Farm says that he has fewer customers this year. I’d think it would be the other way around—more people spreading the word as to where to buy local food. I’m going to take the challenge again this September—10 days, 10 miles. This means a day of foraging—visiting the farmers, finding local eggs. Planning. And cooking. Arzeena? Mary? Bhreandáin? Anyone else willing to join me? Anyone with a community garden plot willing to take the challenge? To get warmed up, here are a few recipes based on what I’ve found at the farms. Not true 10-mile diet recipes, but an inspiration.
Warm Beet Salad with Mint and Pistachios 4 medium beets with greens 2 tsp sherry vinegar 1 small red onion 1 cup water 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint 1 tbsp olive oil Sea salt Freshly ground pepper 1/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted pistachios Cut off beet stems and greens and set aside. Wash beets well and place in baking dish. Fill with enough water to just cover bottom, cover dish with foil and bake at 350F for 1 hour. Remove from oven, uncover and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel and discard skin and cut beets into wedges. Drizzle with 1 tsp sherry vinegar over beets and toss to coat. Wash and chop beet
greens and place in colander. Slice red onion into thin rounds and place over greens in colander. Bring water to boil and pour over greens and onion. Drain well and pat dry. Transfer to bowl and add mint and beets. Drizzle with remaining sherry vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Toss to coat, top with pistachios.
Fingerling Potatoes with Sage 2 lbs fingerling potatoes 2 tbsp olive oil 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 small red onion, chopped 1 bunch fresh sage, minced Sea salt Wash potatoes and place in baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast at 375F for 35 minutes, until soft. In a pan, sauté garlic and onion in remaining olive oil until soft (about 3 minutes). Add sage and sauté 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and set aside. Remove soft potatoes from oven and toss with onion sage mixture. Season with salt.
Anna Olson’s Corn Zucchini Griddle Cakes 2 cups shredded green zucchini 1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 large egg 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp unsalted butter Stir zucchini, corn, flour, egg, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Allow batter to rest 10 minutes. Heat the butter until it foams in a large skillet. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the butter and fry over medium heat for 4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Cash from sale of high school would go back into board’s account by Don Fennell Staff Reporter Selling the old Steveston Secondary site remains a priority for the Richmond board of education, a task that’s proving to be easier said than done. But board chair Donna Sargent said efforts are ongoing to create a “winwin” for the community. While the provincial government last spring put a freeze on the sale of any board-owned lands across B.C., she said the school board remains hopeful. “We’ve been told by the Education Ministry to submit a new proposal that shows our numbers are correct, that there won’t be a need for school use there for at least 40 years out,” said Sargent. “We’ve done that, but we’re going beyond by hiring Colliers (a commercial real estate firm) that is at this moment substantiating our numbers as well as helping us put together a proposal to sell.” Sargent said the board is also trying to think outside of the box, by
perhaps working with the Health Ministry, recognizing there is a need for seniors’ housing in Richmond. Any profits from the sales of Steveston Secondary, or any other board-owned property in the district, would be go into the board’s capital reserve account and can be used for replacement of facilities, renovations or maintenance. The board met, along with other stakeholders, with Education Minister George Abbott in June. “The meeting was very productive,” said Sargent. “We presented our case and Mr. Abbott said he’d go back and talk to his staff in more detail and that he was open to any suggestions we might have.” Sargent said the board heard from the public during budget consultations last spring and were asked what was being done with its surplus lands. The board feels strongly it has to be accountable to the public, she said, and “that is why the board is working so hard (on selling Steveston Secondary).”

Black Press A ban on smoking in regional parks except in designated areas will go to the Metro Vancouver board for a final vote later this month. The region’s parks committee voted 5-4 Wednesday to proceed with the tougher restrictions on smokers who use Metro-run parks, trails and beaches. Committee chair Gayle Martin, a Langley City councillor, said the plan would leave it to Metro staff to define permitted smoking zones near where people spend long periods of time— beaches, shelters, reservable buildings and campsites. “There would be no smoking anywhere in
Metro Vancouver parks except for those designated smoking areas,” she said. “If you’re taking a walk on a trail, you will not be able to smoke.” Martin, a smoker herself, was one of the four directors who opposed the new policy. She argued a better approach would have been to define specific nosmoking zones to protect people in high-use areas but let smokers puff away everywhere else in Metro parks. “I’ve never had one complaint about people smoking in regional parks,” Martin said. Posting signs and other printed information on the policy would cost the region up to $23,000, if the recommendation is adopted by the board Sept. 24. A Metro staff report estimated only 10 to 15 per cent of park-goers smoke and that most would likely voluntarily comply with the new restrictions without any extra spend-
ing on enforcement. Smoking zones would only be designated where there is little risk of second-hand smoke exposure to others, smoking litter is contained and there is no risk of fire starts. Committee members in favour of the partial ban were Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean, Vancouver Coun. Tim Stevenson, Abbotsford Mayor George Peary, Delta Coun. Scott Hamilton and Langley Township Coun. Mel Kositsky. The debate came after a presentation from the Canadian Cancer Society, which urged Metro to proceed with a ban. “A comprehensive ban on tobacco use within regional parks would eliminate exposure of park users to second-hand smoke, protect the park environment from tobacco litter and reduce fire risk as a result of tobacco products,” society campaigner Brittney Parks said in a presentation.
ANAF 284 celebrates 65 years The Army, Navy and Air Force Unit 284 club celebrates its 65th anniversary Sunday, Sept. 18. The original unit was above the Victory Cafe, which was a Fish and Chips shop at the corner of Moncton Street and Second Avenue. In 1947 the club bought the Japanese Fishermen’s Hospital at 11900 No. 1 Rd., and it was converted into a licensed club. Disaster struck in 1956 when the unit burned to the ground. It was rebuilt with support from the ladies auxiliary, and stood until demolition in December 2009. Now a new clubhouse is being built inside a new seniors housing complex. All are invited to Sunday’s anniversary celebration, including children, from 1 to 7 p.m. at the club’s temporary clubhouse—3960 Chatham St., above Coast Capital Savings.

Q: When do you recommend a child’s first eye exam?
week I should workout if I want to gain muscle mass?
A:
A child’s first eye examination should be at about six months of age. While paediatricians conduct a basic eye screening, your optometrist will perform a comprehensive eye examination to rule out conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), muscle imbalances, high or unequal refractive errors, and eye diseases. Early detection of eye problems such as lazy eye and strabismus is crucial because children are more responsive to treatments when diagnosed early. Eye health assessments are also important to identify diseases or tumours. Unless you feel your child is having eye or vision problems, or your optometrist advises otherwise, your child’s next eye exam should be at about age 3, and then annually once she enters school. Undetected vision problems may put your child at a disadvantage in terms of learning.

inspection before I purchase?
A home inspection can cost $350 to $1000’s of dollars, depending on what you need (pool inspection, a furnace or solar system check will be an additional cost, but can save you $$$$ in the future) The answer is really quite simple. If you are comfortable doing your own inspection, then do it. It is totally your choice. If you are not, then ask for recommendations from your sphere and your Realtor, and pick someone that you feel is a good fit for you. Check their credentials, book the appointment and attend the inspection. Many inspectors do not check appliances, so make sure that happens. You will learn where the water/gas shut-offs are, about the electrical panel details, roof condition, is there asbestos? Is there evidence of mice? and so much more. An inspector cannot cut holes in the walls, or see inside sealed areas, but they have tools like moisture meters that allow them to take readings of the levels of moisture in questionable areas. Make sure you understand what they are doing, and why. If you choose your buyer’s agent wisely, the home inspectors your agent recommends are most likely of the same caliber as the agent. No reputable real estate agent will withhold information from a buyer or induce a third-party Seller to withhold information. If you have any questions, ask them prior to removing your ‘subject to inspection’. Anything that changes your contract needs to be in writing and signed by all parties before subject removal.

Home buyers are often confused by this question, and are steered in different directions depending on who they rely on. A bad inspection experience by a friend or a great one has a lot of influence when you are excited about purchasing a home, but remember….Buyer beware! If you do not take the time and effort to do your due diligence before you buy, you take responsibility for what you buy.
Brenda@experthearingsolutions.com www.experthearingsolutions.com
What do we do with all this? Your dentist takes all this information and determines what has been happening and what is likely to happen long term with your dental health. Once this has been determined, you then sit down together to go through the information and have an in depth discussion regarding it and explore the options together. Dentistry is not rocket science and it’s very easy for people to understand what’s going on. At our practice, you will not specifically be told what to do, though treatment options will be recommended to you as though we were in your shoes, or you were our own family. Once we reach the point of recommending all your options, you need to know what the costs will be and then it’s up to you. You now should have all the information to make well informed decisions for your long term dental health.
Yours in health, Isaac Payne

nutrition, as well as your training program. In general, 3-4 days per week would be sufficient training frequency to increase lean muscle mass. It is also important to note that training intensity must be high and sufficient time be allotted for recovery which is why more than 4 days per week can lead to overtraining.

Q: Should I pay for a professional home

If you have had a hearing loss for a number of years, you have become used to hearing in a certain way. Many sounds are simply not being heard loud enough to be completely recognized by the brain’s hearing centre which interprets what the sounds are. When a new hearing aid is introduced, the brain must take time to adjust and then accept all this new sound input. Wearing the aids consistently, daily and over a period of time will allow us the get used to the myriad of new sounds (like birds, frogs, water running , wind etc.) This is when our comfort level will be increased. It is during this time period when many adjustments can be made to the hearing aids to allow the new adapting to take place. Similar to starting an exercise program, wearing aids requires a gradual, regular habit to increase our acceptance and therefore our quality of life.

paradoxical book. The beginning is filled with such beautiful language that you don’t want to miss a word. But as the novel progresses, the language lags. But the storyline heats up. Or rather, cools down. When high school drama teacher Fran Heller moves to Stellar Plains, New Jersey and plans to put on the school play Lysistrata, no one in town could ever have imagined what the fallout would be. Viewed as somewhat risqué, the play is a Greek comedy about “a woman who leads the women of Greece in a
sex strike in order to put an end to the drawn-out Peloponnesian War.” And wouldn’t you know it, as the planning for the play gets underway, the women and teenage girls in Stellar Plains shed their desire like a second skin. It seems that the play is having a parallel effect on women in the town, and one by one they lose their libido—“…all over town you could hear the word ‘no.’” Like a thief in the night, their love and sex lives are stolen from them. And the spell is cast. Needless to say, the men and boys are not only confused but hurt, because this sex
strike happens out of nowhere. And for those guys, depriving them of sex is like depriving them of air. Little did the town of Stellar Plains know that the school play would be the collective undoing of their sex lives; that it would precipitate not only the cooling down of women’s sexual ardour, but that it would tear asunder previously solid, loving relationships. Wolitzer is a witty writer with a keen eye for nuance and detail. Her descriptions are spot on and humorous, like when she describes teenagers, who have “… unfinished faces and piercings that punctured the most tender membranes of their bodies like buckshot—the kids with their energy drinks,

This is a question I get asked a lot. In my case it happened this way. I was the IT Director for BC Research out at UBC, an ex-military veteran of Middle-Eastern peace keeping duties working amongst a gaggle of PhD scientists. Guess who had to deal with all the security issues...and we had some real wing dingers. I knew I was weak in a few areas so I went back to school and graduated from BCIT’s Forensic Sciences program. This gave me a solid background in rules of evidence, criminal and civil law, ethics and an assortment of technical programs. I also took courses related to being a Private Investigator, notably surveillance, cell phone forensics, forensic interviewing and, oddly enough — hard core acting lessons. New provincial regs state that if you’re doing in-house corporate investigations, and it’s not incidental to your normal job, then you need to be a licensed P.I. That would be me. Remember, it’s not the computer that does the crime but the person sitting in front it — and that’s who we’re licensed to investigate.

Q: How often do I need to change my
each vitamin separately? Many people are encouraged, these days, to take a multivitamin and it is a good idea. However, multivitamins tend to cater to those whom already have a healthy diet and are not trying to treat any specific ailments with the multivitamin. This is because most multivitamins consist of only small doses of each vitamin/mineral, and are not at therapeutic doses. For example, a multivitamin tends to provide only 10% of your required daily intake of calcium. If you don’t have a healthy diet and am trying to prevent osteoporosis, this would mean that you would have to supplement additionally with calcium tablets as well. As such, I find that taking vitamins separately can often better improve specific conditions that you are trying to treat. For example, if you are trying to increase energy, you are better off taking high doses of vitamin B complexes as opposed to a multivitamin. Same thing with taking vitamin C for boosting your immune system or calcium for osteoporosis prevention. Talk to your supplements pharmacist to learn more about the benefits of vitamins!

What is a Vertebral Subluxation? A Vertebral Subluxation involves 5 components. 1) Joint Misalignment 2) Nerve Damage 3) Tissue Damage 4) Muscle Tension or Weakness 5) Overall Health Deterioration
It is usually caused by physical, emotional or chemical stress in our life. Examples of these stresses could be a car accident, a fall no matter how long ago, poor posture, work posture, emotional tension, sleeping positions, and sports injuries. These stresses occur on a continual basis and most of the time we are unaware of the damage that is happening to our spine and nervous system. For this reason, it is important to have a Chiropractic check up on a regular basis. Subluxations left uncorrected have a detrimental effect on our bodies.

me to return to my favourite physical activity?
A:
A:
There are a few possible causes for your injury. One reason could be a sports hernia. Sports hernias usually occur in activities that involve aggressive twisting and turning, such as soccer, hockey and football. There is usually a sudden onset of pain that will improve with rest, but comes back when trying to return to activity. Sports hernia symptoms typically include groin pain in the lower abdominals where the abdominal muscles attach to the pelvis. Unlike a true hernia, there is no bulging with a sports hernia, just a tear or weakness in the involved abdominal muscles. Sports hernias are commonly misdiagnosed as groin strains and without the correct rehabilitation, it can lead to chronic groin pain and a delay in return to sport. The focus for rehabilitation exercises of a sports hernia is a gradual and progressive core strengthening program. The therapists at Evolution Sport Therapy can help you correctly diagnose a sports hernia and guide you through the rehabilitation process.

Yes, with only moderate EIMS treatments we have had many successful results allowing our patients to get back to their regular activities. “I have always enjoyed playing sport but have suffered from having a stiff and sore right Achilles tendon. Over the years I have stretched, iced, warmed up and warmed down with limited success. The 2 sessions of Electrical IntraMuscular Stimulation have made a huge difference. I recently completed a 10km run and at the end I had a couple of sore and tired body parts but no problems with the Achilles. I was surprised that the treatment was as quick and painless as it turned out to be. And of course, having it covered by my extended health benefits made it free which was a bonus” said Richard Nash. While every treatment frequency will vary most of our patients regain physical activity very soon after each visit.

Q: Are Water Meters a scam to make the consumer pay more money? f not, why are they free? A:
Definitely not — in fact it’s quite the opposite! The average house in Richmond with a water meter currently pays less than half for water and sewer than they would without a water meter. That’s approximately $500/year less per house. It is a proven fact that water meters reduce a City’s water consumption simply by making residents more aware of their water use. In 2001, Kelowna reduced their consumption by 26% by installing water meters, and by doing so avoiding having to expand their water treatment facilities. The reduction in City-wide water use delays or eliminates the need to supply more water. Increased water supply requires larger treatment plants, supply lines, and in some cases, building bigger dams or more man-made reservoirs such as Capilano Lake, which cost millions. Looking at the big picture, it’s cheaper and better for the environment to install water meters – and for the home owner, it’s free until 2012. The more water conscious we are, the better it is for everybody; and by using a water meter you save money while saving the environment.

Being very overweight made me extremely self conscious. I was intimidated by the gym, but knew I had to move my body.

Soccer takes big step
Strikers ready to volley McRoberts’ lineup boasts eight returning players by Don Fennell Sports Editor The Hugh McRoberts Strikers are back where they belong. Where they expected to be. At the AAA level of B.C. high school senior girls’ volleyball. And their coach, Trish Nicholson, is hoping the change will be fruitful. “We have eight returning kids and I would hope we’ll be in the mix provincially,” she said. “Last year we would have matched up fantastically (at AAA).” School enrollment (the number of girls in Grades 11 and 12 last year at McRoberts was 252, two above the maximum permitted to qualify to play AAA) forced the Strikers to compete at the AAAA level in 2010, but the team, sporting a balanced lineup and peaking at an opportune time, still managed to qualify for the B.C. championship tournament. Add another year of experience for the returning players, including Grade 11 twins Cassidy and Delanie Chang, coupled with the arrival of some promising newcomers and the Strikers could be quite a force. “We have no height to speak of and we’re
not the most powerful, but we’ll dig stuff up and won’t make a lot of serving mistakes,” said Nicholson, who was pleased last week with the Strikers’ ascent to the semifinals of an early-season tournament at Seaquam. “I was pleasantly surprised with the start,” she said. “It was really hot and we played quite a few games then got a bit sloppy. But we also had to bring up some Grade 10s and they did well.” The majority of the Strikers also play community volleyball for Air Attack, so are wellversed in the game. An astute coach, Nicholson has already made some position changes she believes will help the team realize its potential. Recognizing Djina Pavlovic’s strong skill set, Nicholson has moved her to middle from power. Also expected to contribute in the middle are Ella Koonar and Grade 10 Hayley McMillan. Elana Hong-Stowage will be the starting setter. Two Grade 11s, Vicky Macilapy and Nicole AuYeung, also show promise, Nicholson said. The Richmond league is expected to start up during the last week of September.

Lacrosse star building impressive resume
Proudly wearing his gold medal, Brad Hofmann poses with the Alunni Cup.
B.C. won its first-ever Alumni Cup as under-16 national field lacrosse champions recently at Burnaby Lakes Sports Complex and Richmond’s Brad Hofmann was centre stage. A long pole defenceman, the team captain was the only local player in the lineup. In his second year with the squad, Hofmann was also selected to the tournament all-star team after his stellar play helped lift B.C. to victories over Manitoba (31-0), Alberta (20-4), Saskatchewan (15-6) and Ontario (11-10 in the final
which was close throughout). Ontario defeated B.C. 10-8 in round-robin play. Last year, Hofmann helped B.C. to a secondplace finish at the tournament played in Saskatchewan. Hofmann also plays field lacrosse for the Burnaby Mountain Selects Junior Elite touring team coached by Simon Fraser University men’s lacrosse coach Brent Hoskins. In early July, the squad participated in a tournament in Syracuse, N.Y. which showcased future college prospects. The
Selects awarded Hofmann, who has already had interest from several U.S. universities, the Sophomore Elite Defensive MVP and Scholar Athlete Award. Hofmann is also an accomplished box lacrosse player, and enjoyed a successful 2011 season in helping Richmond qualify for the provincial tournament in July in Coquitlam. In addition to earning all-star status, he was the leading scorer during the tournament and was selected the Subway Zone 5 Midget Lacrosse Player of the Year.

ersatility was key as Shaena Furlong was treated to a makeover from Goegan Spa, Suki’s Salon, Plum Clothing and Ronsons Shoes. As a 24-year-old English literature student in the midst of a job hunt, she needed an updated image that would transition from summer to fall as well as from school to work. The Richmond businesses definitely delivered — Furlong was given a natural makeup look, layered sun-kissed hair and a stylishly refined ensemble for both on campus and in the office. The day long makeover process began at Goegan Spa (135-6231 London Rd.), where Furlong got to indulge in her first ever facial. Spa owner Candice Goegan customized a European treatment to Shaena with Goegan Spa makeup artist benefit the Megan Rahn. client’s skin type. “Shaena has a combination skin so we focused
both on purifying in the T-zone and hydrating all other areas of the face including the neck, décolleté and around the eyes,” said Goegan. With her skin clean and revitalized, Furlong was then tended to by makeup artist Megan Rahn. Working mostly with natural shades from the mineral cosmetics line Niko, Rahn’s goal was to enhance Furlong’s blue eyes and delicate features. More definition was given by filling in her brows with an eyebrow pencil, lightly lining her eyes with a dark brown and applying a few coats of mascara. Rahn finished off the casual daytime look by using a peach blush and nude lip colour.
Stylist James Valiant (R) and colour technician Esther Kim (L) from Suki’s transformed Shaena’s tresses.
The next part of the transformation was also the most dramatic: her hair. At Suki’s (130-8311 Westminster Hwy.), colour designer Esther Kim used the balayage technique to create radiant, subtle highlights on Furlong’s naturally dark blond hair. A freehand style of highlighting without use of foils, the French balayage method allows for a more organic colouring process.

Adding more highlights at the front creates a softer look, Kim said. Stylist James Valiant elevated Furlong’s hair further by creating blunt bangs and layers to increase volume. “She had a lack of shape coming in,” said Valiant. “My main goal is to give her a lot of volume in an architectural way.” By constructing longer layers at the back and shorter ones in the front, the hairstyle will be low maintenance, said Valiant. He added that manageability is of utmost importance when selecting a style. As finishing touches, he set Furlong’s hair by wrapping sections around a brush and blow drying through. The result was a trendy, lustrous hairstyle with major volume. Hair and makeup refreshed for classes and job interviews, all Furlong needed to complete her makeover was a new outfit.

newly opened Richmond location at Ironwood Plaza (125-11720 Steveston Hwy.). Manager Deborah Law set Furlong up with a versatile look that can be easily changed for work after classes. The core pieces consisted of a taupe notch collar jacket from Plum’s own Tobias line, a blue floral tieneck blouse by Plum worn over a grey laced Kensie camisole, and a pewter handbag by vegan line colab. Worn together with Mavi jeans in their Molly fit and Ecco’s “Kiev Lace” Oxford bootie from Ronsons, Furlong would be set to study in style. To switch to a professional work look, the jeans were swapped with the matching taupe pencil skirt, and the ankle boots with Geox’s “Stephany” buckled flat in grey (also from Ronsons), resulting in a polished look.

support player development through increased levels of competition for the province’s top soccer athletes. “There’s been a kind of recognition across Canada at the highest level that we’re going to need to do a bit more to get our game on par with others at the international level, and that we’ve got to start with the early stages,” said ElRamly, who proudly notes that Richmond has been ahead of the curve with the introduction of its development centre and focus on professional training several seasons back.
El-Ramly said in five years, when players who are just entering the under-13 phase of the HPL are ready to move onto the national stage, they’ll be much more soccer savvy and better prepared to challenge for a position. “I think there are going to be quite a few exceptional players available for selection now that the calibre is going to be better, maybe as much as 20 per cent better than a player today,” he said. “The question will be if that 20 per cent is enough to make a difference. I think it is.” See Page 31

find it hard to get stoked about subcompact cars. Sure, they’re great on fuel – which is a big thing when you’re buying gas at $1.30 a litre. And they can be surprisingly spacious, not to mention offering plenty of content bang for the buck. But ‘wow factor’? I’d be more pumped watching a PBS documentary on the history of chess. Then again, I hadn’t yet
tested the 2012 Fiat 500. If you’ve seen photos of the original “Cinquecento” from 1957, you’ll notice some unmistakable cues in the new car: the headlights, chrome door handles and chromed rear license plate brow. Of course the front grille is entirely new as there was none on the original, which was rear-engined. The shape of the 2012 model, too, is a nod to the past. Keep in mind, though, that the 1957 Cinquecento was much smaller at only three metres long, and was powered by a tiny 479 cc, two-cylinder, air-cooled engine. The 2012 version is

Small engine did not disappoint From Page 25
It also looks far more sophisticated, with cleaner lines, a smoother shape and a nice set of alloy wheels. And that sophistication extends to the powertrain, which for 2012 is an all-new, MultiAir 1.4-litre four cylinder. Of course in a car this small I expected stellar fuel economy, so the 6.7/5.1 L/100 km (city/ hwy) rating wasn’t much of a surprise. My concern, however, was with the powerplant, keeping in mind that the original put out a measly 13 hp. But rest assured, the little 16-valve MultiAir engine did not disappoint. It delivers 101 hp and 98 lb/ft of torque, which is more than adequate to launch the Fiat 500’s 1,074 kg (2,363 lb) curb weight with pep, and deliver it to highway speed somewhere under 10 seconds. Inside, the Fiat 500 brings a smile as readily as its whimsical exterior. This starts with an exterior-colour-matched upper panel that spans the width of the dash and houses a clean and simple array of instruments and controls. A single, concentric cluster shows speed, tachometer and warning
lights, with a multi-info display in the centre that provides trip odometer, outside temperature, average fuel economy, distance to empty and more. There’s also 8.2 inches of seat travel for both driver and passenger, making it possible to get a couple of adults in rear. Cargo room, too, is surprising for a car this size. With the rear seats up, you get 184 litres of space – enough for a load of groceries or a couple of overnight bags. A nice exterior touch is the chrome door handles. Opt for Sport, and you get some additional features like cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, sport seats, larger 16-inch alloys, red brake callipers, sport suspension, rear spoiler, side sill ground effects, chrome exhaust tip and more. The Fiat 500 actually made a decent second car for our family, as the two kids fit neatly in back with plenty of room up front. Do I really need anything much larger? Probably not, and with hipster subcompacts like the 2012 Fiat 500, allowing you to drive in style without breaking the bank, it’s proof positive that less is sometimes best.

four adults, a power top and a starting price under thirty grand ($29,995) the 200 is virtually in a class by itself. The 200 is the successor to the longserving Sebring that was rethought inside and out in Chrysler’s post fiscal meltdown era.

A true four-seat convertible From Page 27
The base LX comes with a 2.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder engine producing 173 hp and 166 lb/ft of torque mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with a six-speed automatic optional. The mid-range Touring and the topline Limited are equipped with Chrysler’s new 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 with 283 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque with the six-speed automatic standard. The V6 is powerful for its displacement with 48 more hp compared to last year’s 3.5-litre V6. The interior of the 200 gets a version of the new family styling language you will find on most 2011 Chrysler and Dodge vehicles with soft touch trim and a dash that blends in with the shape of the
windshield instead of jutting out and in your face. The new Chrysler brand steering wheel, for instance, integrates the controls for radio, cruise, hands-free phone and other functions so the hands never need to leave the wheel. This is a true fourseat convertible, not a two-seater with dinky seats in the back that are not much more than a package shelf. The 200 has a oneinch wider track and the tires are 10 mm wider. Couple that with it being 12 mm lower at the front and six mm lower at the back and you have a more aggressive look than the former Sebring Convertible. My test Limited had big 18-inch wheels that, along with the revised suspension made for
a very relaxing ride. I liked the fat steering wheel with audio and cruise controls both of which were simple to operate. The only grumble I can think of is trunk space which is halved when the top is stowed. You can, however, unfasten the divider between the top stowage area and the trunk beneath. The divider folds forward and snaps flush completely out of the way. Chrysler bills the 200 as the most affordable all-season convertible car on the market. And at a starting price of $29,995, it is. As far as I am concerned, the 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible is a marvelous way to get around town or for just a leisurely drive with your family and friends.

The introduction of the high performance league doesn’t seem to have adversly affected youth socccer registration in Richmond. Both the boys’ and girls’ associations report their numbers are almost on par with last season. “We were planning on 1,260 players thi season and we currently have 1,218 registered,” said Richmond Youth Soccer (boys) Association chair Cheryl Dunham. “And we typically get more registering after our annual jamboree (for players from under-5 to under-10 which is being held this weekend at James Whiteside Elementary School).” Stewart MacPherson, director of operations at the Richmond Girls’ Soccer Association, said there are 775 girls registered for the 2011-12 season, down about 25 from last season. He said the 25 likely reflects the number of players who are playing in the HPL this season. “HPL will not affect the

For instance you might think you’re a Gold Division team but find you’re better suited at the Silver Division if you had players move up to the HPL.” MacPherson predicts there will be more movement this season than ever because none of the district associations know where their strengths are. Final changes to determine where each Metro Division team will complete the season will be made after the Thanksgiving wekend.

Richmond boys’ and girls’ soccer teams are looking forward to hosting their annual Thanksgiving tournament Oct. 8 and 9. Games will be played at parks throughout the city. “I anticipate another successful tournament,” said RYSA chair Cheryl Dunham. “We’ve got teams from under-11 up to under-18 and teams coming down from Whitehorse and Kamloops.” Dunham also proudly notes the success of the younger age groups, crediting popular coach Doug Gordon who works closely with the under-5s to under-7s in both boys’ and girls’ soccer locally. “If we can have a suc cesful program there, which we do, we can continue to retain the players,” she said. This year, the RYSA is introducing professional coaches at both under-11 and under-12, with a plan to add professional coaching next season at the under-13 level.

High-tech homes are not so unusual anymore
Demystifying the technology terms Life is full of technological innovation, and your new home is no exception. For homeowners who keep up with the latest trends, that technology on the list of features your new home developer provides will be easily understood. But what if those terms are unfamiliar to you? One such term that is often sprinkled among the features is “pre-wired” or “roughed-in.” According to Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation, this refers to a home that has already had wires run throughout it prior to the drywall being installed. These wires can be used for anything that a homeowner could need, from television to security systems. “The wires are where they need to be should the owner decide to get that option,”
Rente says. “If it wasn’t pre-wired, it would be time-consuming and could be expensive to run the wires.” The type of wire most often used in homes is called cat5e, another term that appears often on features lists. “Cat5 is the Swiss Army knife of wire. If you don’t know what to run, cat5 will do it for you,” says Rente. This type of wire can run everything from speakers to Internet, as long as the proper adapters are in place. The final term is “central vacuum.” Rente says that this refers to a centrally located vacuum system that includes a series of pipes throughout the walls that allow you to plug in a vacuum hose anywhere in the house. “No more lugging a canister!” he says.
‘It’s so tranquil and wide open ... it’s just breathtaking’
Aragon going with the Flow at Port Royal by Kerry Vital
If you’re looking for a home with a view, Aragon’s Flow at Port Royal will be just the place for you. Situated directly on the river, homeowners will not only get a gorgeous view, but also great value for their money. “This is the best townhome you can possibly buy for the price,” says Aragon’s Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. “There’s just no other product like it.” Built in Aragon’s Port Royal neighbourhood in Queensborough, Flow joins past projects Red Boat, Marmalade Sky and Regatta. This development, consisting of 30 homes ranging from 1,280 to 1,600 square feet, is located directly across from Port Royal Park and just steps away from a 1.7-kilometre riverfront walkway that encircles the property. Every home includes its own private roof deck, perfect for entertaining on the weekend or watching the sunset beside the fireplace, standard on every deck. “It is so tranquil and wide-open,” says Wan. “It’s just breathtaking.” Inside, the three-bedroom homes feature stunning gourmet kitchens, master suites on a separate floor from the other bedrooms, and an exposedbrick feature wall in most homes, which has become a trademark of Aragon. The open plan layout and top-ofthe-line GE Monogram appliances in the kitchen are just two of the things drawing people in to the display home. Hardwood flooring is included on the main level, while deep carpeting is standard on the bedroom levels. Never
“
I’d love to take you down there and show you the homes. I’ll have the keys waiting for you,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. again will your feet freeze as soon as they touch the floor in the morning! The kitchens are particularly impressive, and really give rise to the notion that the kitchen is the heart of the home. Each one features a builtin wall oven, and under-cabinet puck lighting that highlights the ceramic tile backsplash and double nosing granite or quartz countertops. One addition that is particularly beautiful are the built-in storage cabinets with glass inset doors and accent interior lighting. They are the farthest thing from utilitarian. The ensuite bathrooms are made for luxury. The separate shower stall includes a frameless glass door, mosaic tile flooring and a seating bench. The stone countertops are available in your choice of solid grey granite or light grey
and white travertine stone. “This is really a lifestyle product,” says Wan, adding “it’s an unbeatable lifestyle.” The exteriors are just as beautiful. Built with natural light in mind, Flow is built on a series of simple, elegant lines that showcase what Aragon calls a “modern work of art.” The entire Port Royal development is just minutes from Queensborough Landing, which includes Wal-Mart, several restaurants and other shops, and a range of services. Schools and recreation are also nearby. “I’d love to take you down there and show you the homes,” Wan says. “I’ll have the keys waiting for you.” Homes start at $475,900. For more information visit flowliving.ca or call 604-520-9890.

Richmond’s Heather Harrison joined more than 250 cycling enthusiasts and event volunteers from across B.C. this past weekend for the BC Lung Association’s 27th Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath. Harrison was one of four Richmond ‘trekkers’ who took part, many of whom return annually for the popular twoday, 200-kilometre ride through the Fraser Valley to raise funds in support of lung health research, programs and clean air initiatives. So far the 2011 event has raised more than $170,000, contributing to the total $5 million raised during the event’s lifespan. Harrison alone raised over $500 for the cause. Postevent fundraising continues until Oct. 3, and organizers expect the final tally to reach upwards of $200,000.
Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap and Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard join Gary Herman of Ebco Industries in front of one of the new spillway gates built on site that are destined for Stave Falls Dam. Ebco Industries received a $1.3-million contract to build four new spillway gates for BC Hydro’s Stave Falls upgrades.
