Wanted: One food blogger to eat at a restaurant a day for one year Food blogger to get $50,000 for year’s work

Tourism Richmond is looking for a food blogger who will eat at a different Richmond restaurant every day for a year.

And if the food frenzy isn’t enough, Tourism Richmond

BOTTLE DEPOT

will pay $50,000 to the selected blogger plus a one-year fitness membership to help burn off some of those calories.

“Our culinary offerings are like none other and we believe the best way to demonstrate that is through the eyes and stomach of an online foodie presence,” said Tourism Richmond executive director Tracy Lakeman, who launched the 365 Days of Dining at 365 Different Richmond, BC Restaurants campaign today.

Finding 365 different restaurants won’t be a problem—

Richmond has more than 800 eateries. The successful applicant will be required to visit at least one Richmond restaurant per day, post online content daily, be active with social media users and must demonstrate a willingness to explore all that Richmond has to offer outside of its food scene.

“Our ideal Richmond Foodie Blogger will be a great communicator, social media savvy, and most importantly, be openminded and willing to try new things,” Lakeman said.

‘You can’t just let it go’ Bud Sakamoto was honoured last year, now city searching for more heritage saviours

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Wooden fishing boats are almost one of a kind. Of the approximately 25 boats moored in Scotch Pond in Steveston, the Crystal S. is one of just two wooden vessels left. Newer aluminum and fibreglass models now comprise the bulk of the fleet.

Owned by the Sakamoto family, the vessel turns 50 next year—a long life due largely to Bud Sakamoto’s work in maintaining and preserving it, netting the longtime Steveston resident a Richmond Heritage Award last year.

“You have to maintain it every year; you can’t just let it go,” he said. “The back half has been rebuilt over the years.”

Sakamoto originally helped build Crystal S. with his dad, who also built Scotch Pond’s only other wooden boat.

“There aren’t too many wooden boats left anymore. Of the whole fleet, I would say less than five per cent is wood now,” he said.

This week the Richmond Heritage Commission issued a call for nominees for the 2012 edition of the Richmond Heritage Awards.

Presented annually, the awards recognize people and organizations who have helped preserve and promote Richmond’s heritage.

All heritage-related accomplishments are eligible: restoring, maintaining or re-using a heritage building or architectural features; preserving or maintaining a heritage landscape; promoting local heritage; furthering the knowledge of Richmond’s heritage or interpreting the past; and advocating for heritage issues or promoting awareness.

Eric Flexyourhead photo via Flickr The Crystal S. turns 50 next year and is one of the few remaining wooden fishing boats in Steveston.

Awards will be presented at the Richmond Delta Regional Heritage Fair’s closing awards ceremony on Saturday, May 5 at 2 p.m. at Richmond Cultural Centre.

Others who received heritage awards last year were the Richmond Museum Society, Friends of Richmond Archives, Hai Doan and Steve Bridger, Sea Island Heritage Society, Steveston High School Alumni Association and Richmond Retired Teachers’ Association Heritage Committee.

Richmond Heritage Awards •Nominations can be made by sending the Richmond Heritage Commission a one-page summary describing the nominee and their contribution. Nominators must include their own contact information and that of the nominee.

•Send nominations to david.johnson@ richmond.ca or by mail: Dave Johnson, Richmond City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC, V6Y 2C1.

•Deadline for nominations is Thursday, March 22.

Sculpture to make waves in California ‘Wind Waves’ latest work to leave; city set to host new works in 2013

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Warmer climes will soon greet Garry Point Park’s most visible characteristic after crews dismantled the popular Vancouver Biennale sculpture Wednesday.

The bright red Olas de Viento (Wind Waves) was trucked away in two pieces following its temporary installation that began in the fall of 2009. It will now be restored and transported to Palm Desert, Calif. for exhibition “for the purposes of acquisition,” said biennale spokesperson Miriam Blume.

“The City of Palm Desert and various key business people in the area have long since been interested in the Vancouver Biennale and our artwork, and Wind

Waves just presented a wonderful opportunity,” she said. “We are confident that it will be acquired during its exhibition there.”

The piece, created by Mexican artist Yvonne Domenge, is valued at $420,000 and had been offered to the City of Richmond for purchase, but civic politicians declined.

A date has yet to be set for installation south of the border.

“Obviously we want the snow birds to go see it and to take some pride that this is a result of a local arts organization that this has happened,” said Blume.

Meanwhile, the Vancouver Biennale is asking city council for its blessing for Richmond to participate in the next public art exhibition, set for 2013-2015.

Proposed are seven temporary installations of sculpture and new media, along with one “landbased” project at Terra Nova Rural Park. According to a staff report, sites are to be decided on next month.

Locations with easy access for walking and cycle tours are being

sought, and Blume said there’s continued interest in Steveston as one of the sites. The biennale is asking for a $200,000 commitment from the city, which would also provide staff time to the project.

Eight public art pieces were fea-

tured in Richmond as part of the last exhibition.

“The presence of these significant artworks dramatically raised awareness about the impact public art can have on the enjoyment of our public spaces,” said Eric Fiss,

public art planner, in a report to council.

Most other sculptures exhibited in Richmond have been removed, including the controversial Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head.

That sculpture, which was installed at Elmbridge and Alderbridge ways for two years, is in storage and has yet to sell.

A replica of the Gao Brothers sculpture appeared earlier this month in Los Angeles at the Ace Museum.

Reached by e-mail, Zhen and Qiang Gao wouldn’t say much about their work that depicts two 20th century communist leaders.

“We are not interested in talking about the Miss Mao/Lenin sculpture,” they told The Review. “We don’t expect any reaction from its new location.”

Instead, the brothers noted their latest, and decidedly different work, The Utopia of Hugging for 20 Minutes, a piece of performance art staged in Rome one month ago for the opening of a Chinese contemporary art exhibition.

Parents urged to keep kids at home during teachers strike Supervision minimal though school doors to stay open

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter While Education Minister George Abbott said it’s up to parents if they want to send children to school next week, Richmond Board of Education chair Donna Sargent urged parents to come up with alternatives, and to keep their kids at home if at all possible on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The B.C. Teachers’ Association has served strike notice for Monday after teachers across the province endorsed the option in a province-wide vote.

There will be no instruction offered to students, no programs, and minimal supervision, Sargent said.

No school bus service will be offered for the duration of the job action, she said.

With the district not hav-

ing to pay teachers during the strike, that amounts to $450,000 in savings each day, or $1.35 million over three days. What will be done with that extra money hasn’t yet been determined.

For parents of pre-schoolaged children, or those signed up to before-andafter-school daycare programs offered in classrooms in local elementary schools, the job action will not have an impact on those operations as there will be no picket lines, Sargent said.

Al Klassen, president of the Richmond Teachers Association, called for the government to re-think the way it negotiates.

He likened the province’s handling of the bargaining to that of an 18th century baron of a company who says: “’Here’s how it’s going to be’, and employees have no input. That’s exactly what this is about.”

The job action will impact roughly 1,400 full-time and part-time Richmond teachers, as well as teachers on

call, he said.

“It’s regrettable that teachers are being forced, yet again, to take a stand against the government that has seriously eroded... the quality of education in the province.”

He blamed the stall in talks to a “lack of listening to teachers, a lack of understanding, a lack of wanting to understand the issues.”

The point of bargaining is for employers and employees to work together to create a better workplace.

“That’s exactly what teachers are trying to do here,” Klassen said.

Board chair Donna Sargent said students were bringing home a letter on Thursday updating parents on what’s been happening.

The strike does not impact maintenance workers, educational assistants, secretaries and janitors.

Sargent said the job action will have an impact on most parents.

“It’s a hardship for parents, for sure,” she said,

noting that most families have dual income-earners.

The union was required to give two school days’ notice before being in a legal strike position, under a La-

bour Relations Board ruling on essential services that allow for up to three consecutive days of full strike action next week.

The LRB ruling prohibits picket lines, allowing

unionized support staff to go to work.

The B.C. government began debate Thursday on legislation that would extend the current teacher pay and benefits

for another six months, while a mediator works with BCTF and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association in an effort to find common ground on class sizes and other issues.

by Matthew Hoekstra CN Rail is planning to use up to 13 different pesticides over the next ďŹ ve years, according to its latest proposed pest management plan.

The plan would allow the rail company to continue spraying land surrounding its track in areas throughout B.C. to control vegetation, including in cities like Richmond, which has a bylaw banning the chemicals.

According to CN, pesticides help maintain visibility at road and pedestrian crossings, reducing the potential for accidents with vehicles and pedestrians.

Richmond banned the use of cosmetic pesticides in 2009, but municipal government bylaws have no authority over railways, which fall under senior government jurisdiction.

CNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan calls for use of pesticides such as 2,4-D Amine by â&#x20AC;&#x153;authorized and licensed applicators.â&#x20AC;? On its website, CN calls pesticides â&#x20AC;&#x153;cost effectiveâ&#x20AC;? and says they â&#x20AC;&#x153;greatly extend the duration of vegetation control when combined with mechanical cutting.â&#x20AC;?

CNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richmond tracks extend from the Fraserport lands to North Richmond to the eastern end of Lulu Island. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website says the public â&#x20AC;&#x153;should avoid walking through the treated areas when the contractor is actually applying or immediately after applyingâ&#x20AC;? pesticides.

The plan can be found at http://tinyurl. com/CNpestplan. Comments can be made to smcconsulting@shaw.ca or 250-492-6193.

EDITORIAL: Gulf divides city and airport

T

here was some delicious irony this week when the City of Richmond thumbed its nose at the Vancouver International Airport over a proposed residential project directly underneath an airport flight path.

You could almost sense a spike in the blood pressure of the normally softspoken and diplomatic Richmond mayor Malcolm Brodie, who tweeted (@ malcolmbrodie) about the airport’s position in this way: “Hmm.....choices 950 ft. tankers in the river OK - yet YVR objects to Capstan Way housing.”

That’s about the equivalent of Malcolm screaming at the top of his lungs, and his tweet spoke volumes about the tenuous relationship between the city and the airport, the region’s largest employer.

It can certainly be said that the airport consults with the city when working on an airport project.

But there’s long been the sense that the consulting has been little more than lip service.

When Burkeville residents complained about engine run-ups by

runningclouds photo via Flickr An aircraft flies over YVR at sunset.

WestJet planes, the city quickly sided with these homeowners while the airport’s response was almost one of indifference initially.

In the last few years, three high-profile plane crashes have the city asking for small planes to be diverted to other airports

to reduce overhead air traffic, but the airport has turned deaf ears toward that appeal.

And when the city decided to sell the Brighouse properties surrounding the Richmond Olympic Oval for residential redevelopment, the airport was quick to object,

however the project went ahead.

It’s become a tit-for-tat turf war, with the latest battle involving a YVR-fueled jet fuel pipeline that could see many kilometres of underground pipeline tunnelling through the heart of Richmond.

What’s obvious is that

the city has the interest of its citizens at heart, and politicians are on the hook for bad decisions every four years.

With the spend-happy brass at YVR, no such public accountability exists, so long as Ottawa gets its $80 million rent cheque every year.

here’s snow forecasted this weekend and despite the daffodils that are cautiously poking their heads out, it is still miserably chilly.

Even worse, it seems that everyone but me has plans for a sunny Spring Break—Hawaii, Mexico, or Palm something or other.

Still, the eternal optimist, I’ve resolved to make the most of a drizzly West Coast end of winter. While I may not end up with palm trees and a suntan, I’ve come

up with five Richmond field trips to share that will shed the winter’s chill for a few hours.

1) Saunas and steam rooms. Clearly, this is not a secret, gauging by the crowd in the Watermania steam room at any given time. For less than the cost of a margarita, you can get your fill of hot hot hot.

Feeling claustrophobic?

Slip into one of the hot tubs and allow the frothy warm water to bubble around. Even better, you can socialize with a true cross section of fellow Richmondites instead of yahoos from abroad.

2) Hot yoga. There are at least two yoga studios that I know of in Richmond that provide this style of yoga. Guaranteed, by the end of a session, you’ll be dripping hot with the added bonus of twisty exercise and the smug feeling of being a true West Coaster.

Although doing the

downward dog on a yoga mat may not beat lying on a beach, you can get the illusion of summer from the swimsuit-like fitness clothes of those around you.

3) Hot rock massage. If you’ve never had one of these massages before, it’s time you did. Imagine a full body massage complemented by hot rocks places on chakra points promoting relaxation.

At a recent massage at Goegan Spa, I imagined I was lying in a cabana somewhere. I even heard seagulls.

4) Fireplaces. Be it a wood burning fire or a gas one, sitting next to a fireplace is guaranteed to make anyone feel cozy. If you don’t have one in your own home or at an obliging friend’s place, there are dozens of restaurants around the city that offer this feature. Call ahead and reserve a table fireside and keep warm the way

the ancients used to.

5) Hot pots / barbecues. There’s something about boiling or grilling hot food that warms me up. With my favourite Korean barbecue, there is the added bonus of having spicy kimchi to turn up the heat as I grill my bulgogi on the fire in front of me. Better than luau pig any day!

While staying at home may never replace an exotic vacation abroad, with a bit of imagination and a sense of fun, we all can have a smoking good time in our own backyard.

Get out and see the city.

Spring is around the corner. We just have to make it a bit longer.

The setting for Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s first budget is what he dreaded when Premier Christy Clark handed him the job.

Recovery is painfully slow, with mining and petroleum growing and forest products struggling to hold and build on gains made in Asia.

This and the $3 billion dismantling of the harmonized sales tax moved Falcon to limit overall spending growth to an average of two per cent for the next three years.

That means little or no increase to all areas except health care, education and social assistance.

Despite holding the line on public service pay and not replacing 2,000 positions over the next three years, Clark and Falcon had

to postpone the elimination of the 2.5-percent small business income tax to get to a balanced budget by 2013. And Falcon has again dangled the prospect of raising general corporate income tax from 10 to 11 per cent, but not until 2014.

Business experts applauded the hard line on spending, noting the contrast with Alberta’s big spending and Ontario’s big spending hangover.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston says Falcon’s two-per-cent spending target is “unrealistic,” and the whole program is motivated mostly by two by-elections this year and a general election next year. He said the proposal to raise general business taxes is a repeat of his effort to save the HST, and it won’t happen if the B.C. Liberals win in 2013.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins made the bizarre claim that it’s an NDPstyle “tax and spend” budget, and inaccurately accused Falcon of raising taxes on small business.

He also joined the NDP chorus of outrage over ICBC, BC Hydro and medical premium increases.

I enrolled in a 10-month course, in addition to a running a clinic full-time. With the course being complete, I am excited again to resume monthly articles.

Invisible pollution is referring to Electromagnetic Radiation.

EMR is summarized as the electronic pollution, which we can’t see with the naked eye. EMR comes from, anything

that is plugged in: TV’s, lamps, techie gadgets, microwaves, toaster, kettle; cell phones; wireless internet; lap tops etc.

As indicated in the book Zapped by Ann Louise Gittleman, our bodies are made up of billions if not trillions of frequencies. The frequencies are expressed in our cells, organs and tissues, which are constantly communicating with each other and with the outside world. The body is essentially run by an organic computer (our brain) by emitting

our own electricity. Every time the body feels hunger; movement; pain; happiness; the heart beat and breath. Each and every function of the body is via our own electrical impulses.

What does this mean?

We are wired to respond to electromagnetic forces, and when the body is overwhelmed by electromagnetic forces from our outer environment, these unnatural frequencies, for some people, can result in body stress and illness.

icHealth.org links EMR to illnesses such as: cancers, ADD, sleep disorders, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, autism, hormone imbalance, cardiovascular irregularity, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, unexplained fatigue, stress, infertility, and many others.

In the book Zapped, a tally of electronics that were found in your parents or grandparents homes, was compared to a tally of the number found in our modern day homes. Adding up electronics found in each bedroom; bathroom; family/living room; kitchen - the grandparents home would typically have a tally of 15 items in all rooms combined. The modern day home, a tally of all the rooms combined would have a staggering jump in items to 192.

Take a bit of time to add up how many electronics are found in your home, each room, anything that is plugged into the wall.

Think of how many of these items you personally use in one typical day. Alarming isn’t it.

Consider how many items our children and toddlers use in our own homes and at school.

How does this increase in EMR affect how we feel, what is the connection? The author says, we are getting Zapped every second of every 24 hour day. Should the cells of our body get overwhelmed by messages from inside and outside the body, if the outside exposure is greater than the internal, it can lead to a disruption in how our cells communicate with each other.

A

colourful and charitable tribute to spring has sprung at Richmond Centre.

Stainless Steel Sink or Italian Faucet $

A wishing tree, surrounded by spring flowers, is beginning to sprout its own colourful buds of the paper kind, courtesy of customers.

Passersby are encouraged to write a wish on paper, fold it into a origami flower and place it on the tree, located just west of the food court.

For each wish collected, Richmond Centre will donate $1 to the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation.

The mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $10,000 maximum donation will grant a local childâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;suffering from life-threatening illnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his or her favourite wish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the accumulation of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a thought that if you accumulate peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes together, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bigger chance of your wish coming true,â&#x20AC;? said mall spokesperson Leslie Matheson.

Daffodils now surround the tree. Flowers of other varieties will later find their place here during the campaign, which ends April 7.

Last year the mall easily reached its goal of 10,000 wishes thanks to â&#x20AC;&#x153;phenomenalâ&#x20AC;? support from customers, said marketing co-ordinator Maria Valley, noting the chain of wishfilled flowers spread along overflow wires extending from the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s branches.

The 2011 campaign brightened the life of one child with serious illness, and also had farther reaching impacts.

Matheson remembers a mother and daughter who placed a wish on the tree the first day it appeared. Within a handful of days, their wish had come true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really sad thing that had happened, but it was for the good,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came back just to say thanks to the tree.â&#x20AC;?

Responsible budgeting in an uncertain world.

To prosper in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turbulent global economy, discipline and focus are essential. All around us we see governments paying the price for overspending and uncontrolled debt.

HAD IT WITH DENTURES?

Aquacise your way to fitness through rhythm and pools

If you can answer “YES’ to any 3 of the questions below, then dental implants can help you as a permanent replacement for dentures and missing or failing teeth.

Have you had it with dentures & missing teeth? Do you want to taste your food again? Is your weight out of control because you can’t eat a healthy diet? Tired of missing fun social events, birthdays or family holiday gatherings because of embarrassing dental problems?

Do your children or grand kids make remarks about your teeth or dentures? Would you like to live life enjoying simple pleasures like smiling and laughing at the dinner table or going out to your favourite restaurants again?

Want to avoid extra treatment time?

Your dental implant treatment will be more convenient with ALL of your treatment completed in one ofÀce by one doctor using new methods & technology and comfortable sedation.

Call to schedule your complementary consult and learn how to stop your suffering and regain all the things you’re missing! (We’re so sure of it, we’ll even give you a warranty!)

The Richmond Review welcomes a new weekly column by Richmond resident and runner Christine Blanchette.

A

s we get older the risk of injury increases for those attempting to turn back the body clock through running, pilates, jazzercise, ballroom dancing, etc.

Now, let’s do all of these things in a nice warm swimming pool to upbeat music and it’s a different story. It’s called ‘aquacise’ and seniors are catching on.

Water is a great equalizer for those otherwise unable to partake in regular exercise.

With buoyancy of the water protecting your feet, knees and joints combined with resistance of movement, you get a safe workout, a confidence boost while you boogie around the pool to your favorite songs.

Carol Lepine, fitness and wellness coordinator for the City of Richmond spoke passionately about aquacising.

“Water is magical, water is playful,” Lepine said. “There are great physiological attributes that help to treat injuries and stabilize the core.”

“The social impact is the greatest thing. It’s a great social outlet as there’s lots of talking in the class and some of them go for coffee afterwards.”

Last week I mentioned the benefits of walking for seniors and that it is almost never too late to lace up your walking shoes. If you’re able to walk, then aquacise won’t be a problem, however, see your doctor before starting a program. In my research I found aquatic physical therapy helps those recovering from muscle or joint injury.

some resistance exercise without having to hold onto weights. I suspect that being in the water would also be beneficial for seniors because of the temperature... many seniors can have difficulty regulating body temperature and when exercising this can become problematic.”

According to the Ohio State University Medical Center, “Aquacise exercises are less stressful on the joints and therefore doable for most people, including elderly, injured and disabled people.”

It is suggested, as you would for any other exercise program, to do a proper warm-up and cool down before you commence aquacising.

Instructors should be certified in water aerobics, plus have CPR Pro/ AED and first-aid certifications.

Schedule your complimentary consult today!

“Dr. Nelson recommended implants that would secure my denture in place.

The surgery was quick and painless.

My existing denture was then Àtted onto the implants - a perfect Àt! It is indeed great to know that such procedures are available to us troubled denture wearers. I smile even more now and with more conÀdence.

Thanks again Dr. Nelson and your caring team!”

“The buoyancy of the water reduces the strain on a person’s muscles and joints while allowing them to exercise fairly vigorously,” Hoppe said.

“This buoyancy effect can be varied by the depth of the water that a senior is exercising in. This would allow a person to gradually and safely progress their exercise as they increase their tolerance to an increasing load due to gravity.

“This would be particularly useful for people with osteoporosis or arthritis or those recovering from prolonged bed rest/inactivity. Problems associated with losing balance and falling is eliminated by exercising in deeper water as well. The water also provides a resistance to move against and for those who are new to exercising or resuming exercise after prolonged inactivity would allow

Fitness

Through aquatic therapy there is increase flexibility, mobility, range of motion and strength.

The water improves balance, coordination and postural alignment.

Aquacise attracts every age group because it’s a fun and popular fat burning cardio workout.

I tried it for the first time three years ago and it felt amazing. I loved splashing to the music while getting a great cross training workout.

It’s great for anyone who has arthritis or back/ knee problems and is recommended for chestdeep or shallow water.

You can use a floatation belt or add water weights to increase the intensity of your workout.

In a recent phone interview with physical therapist Eric Hoppe, he fully endorsed aquacise as a viable form of health sustainability.

Aquacise is a good cross training activity From Page 13 Aquacise is a good cross training water activity to do at least once a week and if you enjoy being in the water than this is for you. The only worry is not getting pruned skin.

So you don’t have to let the winter blues keep you from exercise. Just jump in the pool, feel the rhythm of the music and start making waves.

•February was Heart Health Month and according to Sport Research Intelligence Sportive, it is a great time to focus on your heart’s health, start working towards a healthier body and

prolong your sporting life. Being physically active is the best way to strengthen and maintain heart health along with a good diet, healthy weight maintenance, and reduced stress levels.

Moderate exercise everyday for 30 minutes will help create a stronger, healthier heart.

See you in the pool!

Healthy Habit From Page 10 This can set the stage for the above mentioned illnesses or diseases.

Absorption of EMR can result in an increase in: brain hyperactivity; free radicals in our cells – quickening the cellular aging process; they can decrease serotonin and melatonin production, resulting in an increase of depression and lack of sleep; and cellular DNA can be damaged. The body is comprised of 75 percent water; as we all know, whether it is our own electrical frequencies or external sources, water conducts electricity.

If exposure proves to be toxic to a sensitive individual, EMR has an ample pool for conduction.

How can we protect ourselves in this modern world?

Probiotics: Including a high quality probiotic into your daily routine will help support the gut.

Enhancing the digestive system enhances the body’s barrier to EMR. Detoxify: Certain foods and supplements will help detoxify the cells.

Beets, dandelion teas, lemon juice and water, kale, milk thistle herbal tincture, alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin D to name a few. Of course we can’t overlook the importance of water to flush out the kidneys.

Reduce EMR’s in the bedroom: Especially important in the bedroom. Do not use a plug in alarm clock, or a cell phone as an alarm clock.

Look for the old wind up clocks. If two lamps sit on either of your night stands, unplug them both prior to bed. Remove TV’s and electronic games from the bedroom.

Replace cordless phones with a corded land line.

The recharger stand is always giving off EMRs. Keep lap tops/computers and cell phones as far away from the body as possible while you sleep.

Laptops should never rest on laps. Imagine the amount of EMRs directly affecting the reproductive organs. The ability to properly regenerate and heal while you sleep is one of the best protectors against EMRs. Start with the smallest changes. Note symptom changes in the overall household. How does everyone feel one, two weeks after changes are made?

Access to transportation key when choosing a new home

Transit â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a really vital linkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in our lives How much is convenient transportation worth?

It might be a cop-out to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;it depends,â&#x20AC;? but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it is. Sometimes it can add to the cost of a home, but in other cases it can actually save you some cash.

Take Forge Propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Keystone townhome development in South Surrey. Forge spokesman Cory Saran says lots of buyers are coming in from Vancouver and Richmond because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close enough to Highway 99 that residents can hop on the freeway and get going within minutes. And with homes starting at $445,000, he says commuters can save a bundle compared to living in a similar, 1,800 square-foot townhome downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To buy a townhome with this squarefootage in Vancouver is a million-plus,â&#x20AC;? he

says.

Saran says the proximity to the 99 is huge for Keystone buyers. From the development, you can get to Langley in 20 minutes and downtown Vancouver in about 30 if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky, he says.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same for developments near public transit. WestStone Propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 40-storey condo tower Ultra â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part of the Urban Village project in Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a three-minute walk to the SkyTrain. Bob Dominick, vicepresident of sales and marketing at WestStone, says this proximity to transit has been a huge draw for SFU students in particular, but also commuters who get to work without a car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of our residents look at it as access to entertainment,â&#x20AC;? Dominick says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really vital link in our lives.â&#x20AC;?

Going for the gold

Celebrating the best of B.C. at the Georgies

by Kerry Vital

In the grand tradition of awards season, the Canadian Home Buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of British Columbia joined in the fun with their annual Georgie Awards, held on Feb. 25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

This year was the 20th anniversary of the awards, which recognize excellence in residential home construction, renovation, design, development, and sales and marketing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Whistler to the Lower Mainland to the Okanagan, the winners of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Georgies are golden examples of what excellent residential construction is all about,â&#x20AC;? says CHBA BC President Doug Wittal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The winners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and indeed all the finalists

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have shown us that B.C. is truly at the forefront of the country when it comes to innovative design, quality construction and great customer service.â&#x20AC;?

Several familiar names in the industry were among the winners, including Adera Development Corporation for Best Innovative Feature and Best Townhouse Development for seven35 and Larco Investments Ltd. for Best Multi-Family Low Rise Development for their Morgan Crossing community.

There were two big winners at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards. MAC Marketing Solutions was the recipient of six awards, including Marketing Campaign of the Year, Best Sales Centre and Best Project-Specific Website. They also

received a Special Platinum Award for winning 27 Georgies over the past seven years.

Portrait Homes also won a Special Platinum Award for winning 27 Georgies in the past 11 years. This year the team won three other awards, for Large Volume Single Family Home Builder of the Year, Customer Choice Award â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Single Family Home Builder

and Customer Choice Award â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Multi Family Home Builder. This is the fourth year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won the single family home award in the customer choice category, something that the company is very proud of as the winner of the award is selected by homeowners.

First-time home buyers seminar set for April 3 With so many diverse factors to take into consideration when buying a new home, particularly in the Vancouver region, it is no surprise first-time home buyers need a little help de-mystifying the process.

What home type is best matched to wants, needs and financial resources? What location is preferable? What are the mortgage options? How does the provincial property transfer tax exemption for first-time home buyers work? What are the rules associated with B.C.’s newly announced $10,000 first-time new home buyers bonus? How much can be withdrawn tax-free from RRSPs? How about legal considerations, closing costs and home warranties? What’s involved with condo pre-sales?

“We went into it thinking we were going to make a play about these people and their stories,” said Emelia Symington Fedy, co-creator and one of four actors in the show.

“What also became very clear to us quickly was our journey of trying to

meet these people was also very interesting.”

KISMET, a product of the Chop theatre company in Vancouver, has already enjoyed several successful runs after premiering in Toronto two years ago. On March 9, it opens at Gateway’s 100seat Studio B theatre.

The Concerto Concert is set for Saturday, March 10, at 7:30 p.m. and will feature dozens of performers in piano, violin,

clarinet, saxophone and voice.

The students range in age from four to 18, and are practising their music to achieve as close to a professional standard as possible. They’ll perform with the support of a professional orchestra, directed by James Malmberg.

“It’s the only music school in British Columbia that offers this kind of opportunity to its students. No other school has a professional orchestra come in and accompany their students,” said Patricia Rolston, the school’s principal and longtime teacher.

Rising stars will be among the performers, including 17-year-old pianist Timothy Choi, a Grade 12 J.N. Burnett Secondary student, and violinist Spencer Tsai, 7, a Grade 2 student at James Whiteside

The concert will feature a variety of music and on-stage arrangements, including a three-piano concerto with nine pianists playing the music of Bach.

A children’s choir will also perform, along with a 20-strong group of students from the music school’s affordable outreach program.

Richmond Music School came together in 1980. Its faculty offers direction to over 400 students in a variety of disciplines.

The Concerto Concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Richmond Music School Recital Hall, 11371 No. 3 Rd. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, and free for children 12 and under. Call 604-272-5227.

From Page 27 They developed a survey of 10 questions to ask their subjects, who ranged in age from one to 100. Interviews with infants were done with parents, and the younger set had questions focused around their dreams. The four performers stayed in touch during the project, crossing off a 35-year-old here and a 70-year-old there. And getting the subjects to open up didn’t prove difficult, said Symington Fedy, noting she spent as long as four hours with some subjects.

“It was an intimate event that we had with these people, so they felt respected. The other thing is we actually wanted to know the answers to these questions.”

The resulting show has been well-received, with KISMET earning two Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations.

“It’s a very special event for us. It’s not just a play, we are speaking (with) our hearts and souls on stage,” said Symington Fedy. “We’ve become a family. We love being together—on stage and on tour—which doesn’t happen all the time.”

The quartet hopes to continue touring the play, which is always changing. Some people they’ve interviewed have since died; some personal stories are no longer current—a relationship breakup, for example.

“Every time we do it we have to make these adjustments to it,” said Symington Fedy. “It’s kind of this ever-evolving piece.”

Youth Reporter Last week’s ninth annual Science Jam was an opportunity for young scientists to explore the projects of other Richmond elementary pupils and share their own.

“I like the Science Jam because it’s fun and there’s a lot of interesting things to learn,” Brighouse elementary student Sophia Delatore says.

Almost 1,100 passionate scientists from 16 different schools participated with enthusiasm to showcase their scientific knowledge at Aberdeen Centre.

More than 500 instructive projects varying from bubbling volcanoes and explosive soda to projects about the Milky Way and discoveries about crystal growing were on display.

Many keen students wanted to share interesting and informative

Martin Curic and Marko Sijivic from Tomekichi Homma Elementary created a foaming hydrogen peroxide chemistry experiment called Elephant Toothpaste.

Intrigued about chemical reactions, they explained their findings during their project.

“Hot water produces the most amount of foam,” Martin explains.

Adds Marko: “The temperature is always going to affect the chemical reaction.”

Aspiring scientists from Talmey, Kelly Wang and Rachael Encarnacion, were keen to share their observations about a “brainy” experiment they were intrigued by as well.

Their project, the Music Museum, was about how different music affects a brain’s efficiency.

After the two elementary school girls performed numerous scientific tests they received mind-boggling results.

“We found that classical music helps you type faster and that R&B helps you write faster.”

MARCHANT, William John Born November 4, 1943, “Bill” passed away peacefully on February 22, 2012 after his struggle with cancer. Son of Vic and Veva Marchant and survived by son, Scott, he will be remembered by siblings, Bev and Harold, brother-in-law, Garry, nieces, nephew and many friends.

His positive outlook will be remembered with affection.

He spent his best years on the open road as a truck driver, traveling from the Arctic circle to Mexico. We hope he is now as free as he was then. Ashes to be scattered in memory. No service.

WHITE, Ethel Agnes

They both graduated in 1963 and then returned to the Vancouver Metro area where they have lived for the past 50 years.

John was a loving husband, a devoted father and always enjoyed the many opportunities to spend time with family and especially his beloved 4 grandchildren.

He was a successful entrepreneur and owned his own chemical company. John and Carol travelled extensively throughout the world. While at home John loved gourmet cooking for everyone. John will be deeply missed by family and friends but we have memories that will last our lifetime.
