Songbird smuggler nabbed with 30 birds

Richmond helps set London stage City, airport share information with hosts of 2012 Summer Games

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Spending at least $17.4 billion to set the stage for a global sports competition is made easier by an army of experts— especially when their expertise is earned first-hand.

Joining the ranks of those assisting London in hosting the 2012 Summer Olympic Games—July 27 to Aug. 12—is Richmond, an official venue city of the 2010 Winter Games.

• professional • strong negotiator • fast results!

• best realtor!

Richmond’s experience starts at Vancouver International Airport, where athletes, support staff and spectators from around the world began arriving on Sea Island in January 2010. Throughout the Games period the airport handled over 2.6 million passengers and 2.7 million bags on 29,000 flights.

Vancouver Airport Authority officials have shared their knowledge and lessons learned from 2010 with Heathrow Airport in London, which will host the majority of the millions of Olympics-bound travellers.

City of Richmond officials have had ongoing information exchanges with London since 2007, according to city spokesperson Ted Townsend. The city has hosted delegations from London’s organizing committee and government “numerous” times, par-

ticularly during the 2010 Games.

“They were very interested in our plans, as a big portion of their plans centred on using the Games to fuel redevelopment of parts of their city.”

Even the oval’s architect, Cannon Design, lent its expertise to London by providing preliminary venue design and planning services.

Building the venue for long track speed skating—and being a host city—initially spurred $2 billion in new investment in Richmond, according to Mayor Malcolm Brodie. Since the Games, interest in development near the oval and Canada Line has ballooned, with more than $4 billion in new projects now under construction or in the planning stages, said Brodie.

It was a mistake that he’ll soon likely pay for, one that could have had catastrophic consequences for Canadian wildlife and citizens.

A Vancouver man has now been charged with trying to smuggle more than two dozen songbirds from Guangzhou, China—where highly pathogenic avian influenza is considered endemic—through the Vancouver International Airport inside his carry-on luggage. A number of the birds died during the effort.

Kwok Sing Lee made his first appearance in Richmond provincial court on Thursday morning, charged with two counts under the Health of Animals Act, and one count of failing to report in person at a customs office. The case has been adjourned to Aug. 2.

David Clements, an agent for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, said the importation of songbirds from China is absolutely prohibited, for fear of disease pathogens the birds might carry.

Because of the serious risk to health to not only other wildlife in Canada, but also Canada’s human population, Lee is facing a fine in the range of $10,000, he said.

The fine is based on the risk to Canada, not on the number of birds he was carrying, Clements said.

Canada Border Services spokesperson Jennifer Bourque said Lee returned to Canada on April 13, and was found to be trying to smuggle 29 songbirds in his carry-on luggage. (Clements said the actual number was 30).

21 of the songbirds were still alive, and eight had died enroute, said Bourque. (Clements said nine birds died in transit).

Lee didn’t declare the birds upon his return to Canada, Bourque said.

“The importation of pet birds is prohibited from certain countries in which highly pathogenic avian influenza is considered endemic. Canada allows the importation of pet birds travelling with their owners, provided that import requirements are met,” Bourque said in an e-mail. “The birds were prohibited entry as import requirements were not met.”

Charges were sworn against Lee on June 14 and he has still not entered a plea.

In July of 2000, a major Ontario importer of exotic birds was fined $75,000 for smuggling 12,000 finches, the largest fine of its kind at the time, Environment Canada said in a press release.

Up until not so long ago, the world was quite different.

There were no cars, computers, phones and many other things. Daylight was the sun and at night the moon, on a cloudy night a candle perhaps. There were no texts. People talked and made personal time. There were no e-mails, so there were letters and the content still sincere after all the travel. Men were out there working away and were titled the breadwinners. Times changed of course. Electricity, phones, computers and e-mails to name a few and then there were video games. Some men no longer went out and simply just played. They forgot to go out there and evolve. Boys remained boys. And that is how breadwinners became bread wieners. That’s how hot dogs came about.

Richmond sisters’ film part of Your Kontinent Film and media arts festival runs this weekend at Richmond Cultural Centre

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter It’s cheekily referred to as a short film with a long title, and it’s one of the selections at this weekend’s Your Kontinent film and media arts festival at Richmond Cultural Centre.

Produced by Richmond sisters Michele Nitta and Suzi Nitta Petersen, Memoirs of the Last Samurai’s Geisha is an 11-minute comedy film inspired by the pair’s experiences working as movie extras.

In a telephone interview Wednesday, Nitta Petersen said sometimes they’d be asked to arrive on set wearing a Japanese kimono. Inevitably, many men on set believed they were geishas—women highly trained in a range of traditional Japanese arts.

“They were actually bowing to us and being very extraordinarily polite. We found that rather amusing that we were being treated differently because we were wearing kimono,” said Nitta Petersen.

Your Kontinent 2012 •Richmond international film and media arts festival •July 20 to 22 at Richmond Cultural Centre •Presented by Cinevolution Media Arts Society and City of Richmond •$8 for single screenings and $30 for festival pass at the cultural centre or 604-247-8300 •More info at ykfestival.ca and 604-247-8300 The born-and-raised Richmond sisters told the story to Liz Nunoda, a writer with an interest in short films. Nunoda penned the script with Nitta Petersen as the lead actress.

The film, shot in 2008, offered Nitta Petersen one her longest roles to date.

“It was a long, hot shoot because it was August. It was a lot of work, but I would say it was fun work with great people,” she said. “It was kind of a bonding experience.”

Your Kontinent is the fourth film festival to show Memoirs of the Last Samurai’s Geisha.

Festivals, Nitta Petersen said, offer the sisters direct audience feedback and bolster the reputation of their company Zento Productions, which is now dangling a new film in front of festival organizers.

Stand Up and Fight is a documentary with the same director,

Chad Band, behind the camera.

It’s a portrait of Canadian professional boxer and stand-up comic Brad Shlomo McPeake, who faces a win-or-retire fight in his hometown.

Numerous festivals are considering it, and if it gets a successful run, there’s always the possibility of a distribution deal.

“It’s a long shot, but we always hope for the best,” said Nitta Petersen.

Your Kontinent runs Friday, July 20 to Sunday, July 22. Memoirs screens Sunday at 10:30 a.m. ahead of the feature film Romeo Eleven. Tickets are $8 or $30 for an all-access pass.

Another trio of high-rises proposed for oval village Hollybridge Limited Partnership is proposing to demolish an existing warehouse and build residential towers

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City staff are recommending approval of another set of high-rises in the oval village, but the latest proposal will force some civic bureaucrats out of the neighbourhood.

Hollybridge Limited Partnership is seeking to rezone 5440 Hollybridge Way, a site across the street from the Richmond Olympic Oval whose current tenants include city staff.

City council’s planning committee considered the application Tuesday. Proposed are 586 homes and 38,342 square feet of street-level commercial space in two 15-storey towers and one 10-storey tower.

Some smaller buildings would also occupy the site, including a standalone building with 29 low-end market rental housing.

The property borders a high-rise site owned by Aspac Developments and the city-owned Richmond Curling Club.

Under the rezoning plan, the existing warehouse and office spaces will be

Two 15-storey towers and one 10-storey tower are proposed across from the Richmond Olympic Oval, at 5440 Hollybridge Way.

demolished, but not until mid-2013 due to existing lease agreements. A new road, Pearson Way, is proposed to divide the site into two.

According to planner Suzanne Carter-Huffman, the proposal is the fourth rezoning application in the oval village and the second on the inland side of the new River Road.

The project is a “well-planned, attractive development that will contribute to the livability” of the oval vil-

lage, and is “important to the success of the oval village’s emerging urban community,” said Carter-Huffman in her report.

Last month, council approved funding to continue leasing office space on the property until October.

Approximately 25 bureaucrats are based there. City spokesperson Ted Townsend said they’ll be moving to the former Richmond RCMP headquarters on Minoru Boulevard—a building now

known as City Hall Annex.

If city council approves, the proposal will be subject to a public hearing.

Onni is also building a trio of towers in the area, and Aspac is developing 2,500 homes in towers surrounding the oval.

Council also recently approved another project from Onni in the neighbourhood: four six-storey buildings at 7731 and 7771 Alderbridge Way, containing 660 units.

Rebranded last year, the festival is entering its fifth year at Richmond Cultural Centre. It’s a product of Cinevolution Media Arts Society, which continues its mission of demonstrating the interconnectedness of the world and promoting intercultural understanding.

Target on target for Lansdowne Plans to transform Zellers into a Target store at Lansdowne Centre are moving ahead.

On July 25, the City of Richmond’s development permit panel will consider an application to renovate the store’s interior and alter the exterior of Lansdowne Centre to accommodate the Target bull’s-eye.

Brook Pooni Associates Inc. filed the application to convert the 138,876 square foot space in the mall’s southeast corner. No addition to the floor area is proposed.

“Target represents a major new retailer in Richmond with a positive reputation and staff anticipate that the residents will welcome this new store,” said senior planner Brian Guzzi, in a city report.

As part of the deal, Target has agreed to pay for perimeter sidewalk and landscape improvements along the portions of Lansdowne Road and Kwantlen Street, which the store fronts. The sidewalk will be built within the parking lot, continuing an existing path that extends to No. 3 Road.

On July 12 the company confirmed 127 locations in Canada where a Target store will open by April 2013. Richmond is one of 19 sites in B.C. to get the brand, which is spending $10 to $11 million to remodel each location.

In a news release, the company said it intends to announce additional locations over the next several months.

In January 2011, Target paid $1.825 billion for leasehold interests of up to 220 Zellers stores across Canada.

Bring-Your-Own wine arrives in B.C. Diners can now bring their own bottle of wine to participating restaurants in B.C. The new Bring Your Own Wine program was unveiled Thursday by Rich Coleman, the province’s minister in charge of liquor regulation. He said it offers patrons the ability to have any wine they want with

their dinner and should spur more business for restaurants.

A big part of the lure will be the savings – restaurants typically double the price of a bottle from a liquor store – but a big chunk of that will likely be eaten up by a “corkage fee” restaurants will be allowed to charge for service.

Woman who defrauded seniors will soon be eligible for parole Judith Lynn Slobbe becomes eligible for full parole on Oct. 31 of 2012

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A woman who defrauded seniors at Fraserview Intermediate Care Lodge on Williams Road remains in prison, but her successful challenge of the Abolition of Early Parole Act means she’s one step closer to freedom.

Judith Lynn Slobbe was one of three applicants who sought to challenge the retrospective appli-

cation of the act in B.C. Supreme Court.

When she began to serve her sentence of seven years and seven months in prison in 2010, the Corrections and Conditional Release Act made her eligible for release to a halfway house on accelerated day parole after serving just onesixth of her sentence.

But in a ruling released Wednesday, the B.C. Supreme Court found that the transitional provision of the new legislation that sought to abolish that early parole does not impact those people who were already serving their sentence when the act came into effect.

Slobbe was sentenced in 2010, and would have been eligible for day parole on July 27, 2011, the court ruling states.

A 41-year-old Salmon Arm man was sentenced Wednesday to five years and 11 months in jail for multiple counts of robbery, including a Scotia Bank on Bridgeport Road in June of 2011.

Karl Danny Nelson was found guilty of three counts of robbery, four counts of disguising his face with the intent to commit an offence, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and assault with a weapon.

All of the offences occurred in a three-week span

He was finally nabbed following his last robbery at the Scotia Bank at 104-11911 Bridgeport Rd., when he walked into the bank armed with a knife, and then demanded cash.

According to Richmond Mounties at the time, Nelson fled the scene in a vehicle with an undisclosed quantity of cash.

But Nelson was spotted by Vancouver police officers, who arrested him and turned him over to Richmond RCMP. Nelson has a lengthy criminal history dating back to the mid 1990s, and has more than 30 aliases.

Oval a shining example From Page 1 The oval will continue to serve as a shining example for other host cities of the Olympics beyond 2012.

The International Olympic Committee commissioned a video that will be shown in London to future host cities, featuring a handful of Olympic venues that demonstrate legacies produced by the Olympics.

The oval is among them.

A crew from London visited Richmond in the spring to film the venue and interviews with city officials.

At an London 2012 sendoff event Tuesday, city and oval officials proudly boasted that 36 Team Canada athletes have participated in camps or ongoing training at the oval, including Canada’s women’s soccer team, wheelchair rugby squad and other Paralympic athletes. Dozens more London 2012 competitors have visited the oval for competitions for specific training.

Said Townsend: “The oval has now come to be recognized not just as one of the most outstanding venues and legacies of the 2010 Games, but of all Games.”

12-year-old in hospital after hit by car Driver of car co-operative with police

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A nurse in a passing vehicle and another bystander rushed to the assistance of a 12-yearold girl Wednesday afternoon, after she was struck by a car and thrown some distance onto the roadway.

The girl had been crossing the street, according to police, when she was hit by a vehicle in the eastbound lane of Francis Road, less than 100 metres east of No. 3 Road and directly in front of a townhouse complex.

The victim was rushed to B.C. Children’s Hospital where she

was initially listed in critical condition.

On Thursday afternoon, investigators updated her condition to serious but stable.

Doctors have placed the girl in an induced coma, as she’s suffering from severe head trauma.

“The driver involved, a 79-yearold Richmond resident, remained at the scene of the collision and has been cooperative with police,” RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said.

“At this point, it’s not known whether or not charges will be laid. Drugs or alcohol were not factors in the collision, nor was the weather or condition of the roadway.”

Investigators have spoken to eight witnesses who were at the scene, and are currently reviewing their statements to determine precisely what happened.

About three hours after the collision, a newer red Toyota Camry sporting a dent on its hood and

watched by two RCMP cruisers, was towed away from the scene.

The collision occurred around 4 p.m. and just a few metres away from where the two eastbound lanes of Francis Road merge into a single lane.

Turley said the preliminary investigation indicates the young girl wasn’t in a crosswalk at the time she was struck.

The roadway was closed for some time as the investigation continued.

Richmond Mounties cautioned pedestrians and drivers to follow the rules of the roadway, and for drivers to be prepared to make a sudden stop at any time, and reduce speeds based on road conditions.

Anyone who witnessed the crash, but hasn’t yet identified themselves to police and been interviewed, is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-2781212.

City of Richmond adopts ‘preference’ for biodegradable packaging City council has passed a resolution indicating a “preference” for biodegradable food containers, B.C. grown organic food and cage-free chicken products at Richmond City Hall.

Coun. Linda Barnes brought the motion forward, aimed at city-contracted caterers. She noted city hall’s primary caterer already uses biodegradable containers, but Barnes wants the wording included in future contracts.

Traditional polystyrene food containers are usually not recyclable, require petroleum to create and can take hundreds of

years to break down.

Santa Cruz, Calif. has already gone several steps farther than Richmond. In 2008, the city banned the use of polystyrene packaging by retail food establishments and required businesses to use take-out packaging made of biodegradable, compostable or recyclable material.

Now Santa Cruz city council is considering a much wider ban: on the sale of foam and polystyrene products, including coolers and toys, along with packaging materials.

Province to take over monitoring of scrap dealers Dealers required to record customer information

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond City Hall is getting out of the scrap metal business.

City council has introduced bylaw changes removing local government requirements relating to scrap metal dealers in the wake of new provincial regulations.

Last year the B.C. government began moving toward province-wide regulations for scrap metal businesses—four years after the city created its own rules making it harder for metal thieves to turn stolen goods into cash.

On July 23, new provincial regulations come into force and make Richmond’s bylaws unnecessary.

ďŹ le photo Jason Macdonnell of Telus shows off some cable in a north Richmond compound that was a popular target for thieves at the time Richmond introduced a bylaw to crack down on cable-stealing criminals.

Mandating scrap metal dealers to report information to RCMP was key to Richmond’s regulations.

New provincial rules are

lin said staff will nonetheless continue to monitor the scrap metal industry and, if necessary, “propose means for dealing with issues or shortcomings of the provincial act or regulations.�

City rules on recording and reporting customer information will continue to apply to pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers.

Richmond began putting the squeeze on metal thieves in January 2007 by requiring scrap dealers to hand transaction information over to the police. The information formed a police database designed to track stolen metal.

At the time, police and city officials were most frustrated by scrap dealers who paid cash for clearly stolen items, such as street signs, marked utility wires and phone booths.

EDITORIAL: Battle with airport unwinnable

I

n the latest chapter of what’s become an increasingly uncomfortable relationship between the City of Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport Authority, the two are at odds over a planned premium retail outlet akin to the ones many locals have become accustomed to south of the border.

It again demonstrates the airport needs a greater level of accountability—but that seems hard, nay impossible, to come by.

Richmond doesn’t like the proposed location of the retail development, which on Russ Baker Way would be far from the $2 billion Canada Line rapid transit arm that links the airport to Richmond and downtown Vancouver, and places it along a busy traffic route that figures to only get more congested should this plan go ahead.

But this difference in opinion has greater relevance for local taxpayers beyond neighbourhood planning and traffic flow.

It boils down to accountability, and how in a supposedly democratic society, Richmond voters

Vancouver International Airport Authority is proposing a luxury mall on Russ Baker Way.

have absolutely no meaningful input in how the airport operates.

Sure, there are annual general meetings, and the city does have representation on the airport’s board. But the airport is free to do as it chooses on Sea Island, provided it gets the blessing of the federal Transport minister.

And that doesn’t seem to be a problem.

The airport can seek input from the city on its long-term development

plan, and choose not to use it. It can welcome flights in the wee hours— arriving over Richmond— despite objections from the public. And it can build a mall on Sea Island that stocks Prada handbags and Gucci shoes.

(On the other hand, the airport has frequently objected to the on-going residential development in city centre under the flight path. Communication, or lack of, works both ways.)

Though the city will be

seeking advice from its legal department, history tells us that theirs is a wild goose chase, after which they’ll return with little more than a fistful of feathers.

The airport authority runs an impressive operation, no doubt, armed with a seemingly unlimited budget for annual improvements apparently immune to being impacted by the global economic slowdown.

It’s non-profit in name

only, a ludicrous designation given the level of spending.

It seems there’s no appetite in Ottawa to look at the governance model for the airport. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, the saying goes.

Until local taxpayers make accountability a bigger issue, this combative situation between the airport and city will remain as it always has been, and we’ll just have to grin and bear it.

y the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives.

Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count.

A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer

hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays.

This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones.

In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-yearold desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website.

I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal.

With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province, and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at CanadaU.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate ferry on Haida Gwaii.

Most pictures update every two minutes, offering a real-time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds.

Another new feature is an email alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC net-

work. And of course there is an @drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and midnight, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. (Major events are automatically tweeted overnight.)

Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and co-ordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news reporters around B.C. The mobile service now has an option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smartphone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report.

For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 any-

where in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages.

Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving.

The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

Fresh Local RICHMOND

Shark fin issue needs to be discussed rationally Editor: I am concerned that the shark fin debate will divide our community along racial and cultural lines. It may turn ugly, as there was a report in Ming Pao on July 11 that a shop selling shark fin was harassed and other shop owners refused to be interviewed in the fear that their shops would be harassed too. I have also received emails containing abusive and racist language.

I believe that we share the common objective of conservation and ocean ecosystem protection; however, we have to find a “made in Richmond” solution which is reasonable, enforceable and without unintended negative consequences.

Port Moody has been credited as the first city in B.C. that has banned the shark fin trade. However, the ban is meaningless as the shark fin trade is non-existent in Port Moody.

It would be as if Richmond passed a bylaw prohibiting the hunting of

polar bears in the city.

The possession and consumption of shark fin is not banned in Port Moody. Richmond city council is being asked to follow Toronto to ban the possession, consumption and sale of shark fin. This can be very problematic.

First, the shark fin trade is legal in Canada. Toronto city council is currently facing a legal challenge for exceeding its jurisdiction.

Secondly, if the possession of shark fin is banned in Richmond it can create unintended negative consequences for some people.

The shops and restaurants with shark fins in stock (legally acquired) will suffer a loss. They may seek indemnity from the city, which may amount to tens of thousands of dollars. Furthermore, how will the city enforce the bylaw against individuals who have shark fins at home?

It can also create a situation where a visitor who brings shark fin into Canada will have no problem

going through customs at the airport because it is a legal commodity, but can be fined once he leaves the airport.

In the U.S., the shark fin trade is banned by the states (e.g.

Washington, Oregon, California, Illinois and Hawaii), not municipal governments.

In the past three years, because of the success of education efforts by groups like Shark Truth, the consumption and sale of shark fins in local restaurants and shops have dropped by 60 to 90 per cent. A shop owner told me that he had not sold an ounce of shark fin in three months. This shows that education has been effective.

I hope that the issue around shark fin ban can be discussed in a calm and rational manner and stakeholders will be consulted before a decision is made, so that we can do the right thing in the right way.

Editor: Re: “Having shark fins on your menu will affect your bottom line.”

Let’s reward the restaurants that do not contribute to the inhumane useless slaughter of sharks, all in the name of a tradition. If council is not going to tackle this issue, we the consumer can by not frequenting restaurants that serve shark fin soup. It’s that simple.

I am hoping one of your readers will set up a web site that readers can contribute to that list the restaurants that do serve shark fin soup, so we can avoid them.

Rose left by grieving father gets stolen

Not enough density is the problem in Hamilton

Editor: My ex-wife and myself lost our beautiful daughter (Janelle R. Macdonald) to a tragic motorcycle accident on July 15, 2003 at the corner of No. 2 and Blundell Road and each year I put a single white rose at the corner just to remember.

Well on the ninth anniversary I put my single white rose there in the afternoon and when I went by a few hours later some goofball had taken it. Thanks a lot. If you really need a flower for someone special in your life give me a call and I will buy you all the flowers you need but please leave my little girl’s flower alone.

Doug Macdonald Richmond

Editor: I am very puzzled by the letter (“High density won’t work in Hamilton�) that says that “high density� will not work in Hamilton. I have been attending the Official Community Plan meetings for Hamilton and I would expect that she has as well. However, she has either missed the point or is choosing to ignore it.

All the things she complains about not having in Hamilton, we don’t have because there aren’t enough people here to support them. We don’t have more restaurants because we don’t have a big enough population to support them. We lost our grocery store because they couldn’t make a go of it. To get a library or community policing office or even some medical services, we need to have more people.

All the people I have talked to about the options shown at the last meeting are in favour of more density, not less. They understand that to get nice new streets with sidewalks, better park space, more trails and more shops in the area, someone has to pay for it all. The only way the city raises enough money to do all that is with more development in our area.

I think Oris Consulting and the City of Richmond are doing a great job of informing the neighbourhood about our choices. My only complaint is it is taking too long to get shovels in the ground!

Hamilton is ready for a change and it is long overdue. I hope a few complainers don’t stop a good idea from happening.

letters Restaurants have privileges, not rights Editor: In his article on the possible ban on shark fin sales, Mr. David Chung states that restaurants have rights. He is wrong. They have privileges granted by licence from the city they operate in.

Were I to open a restaurant that specialized in making pie out of the front paws of grizzly bears, even if I claimed it was culturally appropriate, I would have to

be allowed by licence to do so and would have to abide by the regulations required by law.

He is also wrong when he claims that sharks are apex predators that require culling by humans in order to remain healthy. This is obviously untrue as sharks have managed millions of years of existence on the earth before people even learned to make stone tools.

People in general, not just

Chinese people, are indeed part of the food chain but we all have a responsibility to all the different parts that make it up to ensure its integrity. Shark finning is an unregulated, destructive and wasteful use of our common resource. Claiming a cultural right to appropriate any part of it in such a wholesale manner is greedy, rude and insensitive.

Ewan M. Quirk Richmond

Shark species are being hunted to extinction Editor: I wish to emphasize my full support of such a ban in Richmond, and indeed worldwide. Shark species in great numbers are being hunted to extinction.

For Mr. David Chung to trivialize this fact as “so minor” is not only short sighted, it is downright ignorant. The fact that he uses the phrase “top predator” suggests he may have done some research on the subject.

What he misses is the fact that sharks have been top predators in the marine food chain for millions of years. Long before

Not eating shark fin soup is the right thing to do Editor: People seem to confuse the concept of “right” and the “right thing to do.”

David Chung used the same argument trophy hunters give to justify hunting wild life. Being of Chinese descent, I had my share of shark fin soup in the past and loving it, but had since given up the practice several years ago and had my parents convinced never to order the dish in parties.

I encourage anyone who feels strongly about the issue not to participate in banquets (shark fin soup is the item mostly being served) that still serve the dish, and boycott restaurants that refuse to stop the practice.

There will always be people who want have it either for the taste or to flaunt their wealth, selfish enough to ignore the moral obligation.

Phoebe Jones Richmond

Chinese (or any) people emerged to keep their numbers in check. I encourage opponents to the ban to search Wikipedia on the subject, or to view the compelling documentary, Sharkwater, by Rob Stewart. The fact is that top predators are vital to the health of every food chain.

That shark fin soup is a luxury item on menus should not deter us from seeking a more sensible, humane, and honourable substitute for it on our dinner table.

Perhaps have your wedding catered by a Buddhist vegetarian establishment? Or better, inform guests at your special occasion

of the fact that finning sharks is so wrong in so many ways that you will not sully your dinner table by serving it.

I am of Icelandic descent, yet I would never consider eating whale meat as I do not wish to contribute to the extinction of such a marvelous creature. Banning the sale and possession of shark’s fins is an important step in ending this cruel and barbaric fishery for once and for all.

I entreat the restaurateurs of Richmond to get on board and support this ban.

New Taurus SHO still packs a punch

by Lorne Drury Special to Black Press It may not have the swagger the SHO once did when it was one of the hottest cars on the block, but the 2013 Ford Taurus SHO still packs quite a punch.

The SHO sits atop the Taurus trim ladder and is the macho face in the model lineup, although it is less of a muscle car than the original SHO that Ford produced from 1989-99. A decade later, the next generation SHO returned as a 2010 model.

For 2013, the SHO has undergone a minor refresh to help differentiate it from the rest of the Taurus lineup, which also includes SE, SEL and Limited models.

Prices start at $26,707 for the 3.5-litre V6 SE model, while the SHO with its 365 hp, 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine and standard all-wheel drive, starts at $41,287.

SHO stands for Super High Output and is Ford’s competition for the Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT8s, the Chrysler 300 SRT8s and the Chevy Camaro SSs of the world.

But unlike these other high-performance cars that boast big V8s, the SHO does its thing with a twin turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine, which puts on its own ‘SHO’ when you punch the ‘go pedal’.

The SHO doesn’t look the part of a high-performance machine, but then again it didn’t back in the ’90s when it was the ultimate sleeper.

Today, it is a handsome, full-size car that has the looks of a basic family sedan, but the heart of a racecar underneath.

What sets the SHO apart from the rest of the Taurus lineup is the twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, making 365 hp at 5,500 rpm and 350 lb/ft of torque at 3,500 rpm.

The other models get a 288 hp V6 engine that is powerful enough for everyday driving, but not the ‘SHO stopper’ of the top tier model.

The twin-turbo V6 in the SHO is mated with a six-speed SelectShift automatic with steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters. The car jumps from 0-100

The SHO is the upper-tier model in the 2013 Taurus lineup and serves as the ‘macho’ entry of the bunch.

km/h in under six seconds— not bad for a full-size, four-door five-passenger sedan.

With direct injection and the twin turbos, the SHO avoids the dreaded engine lag by employing impellers that spool up quickly.

But it’s not just straight-line acceleration that makes the SHO a driver’s car— it can also handle the twisties quite well for a big car that weighs 1,969 kg (4,343 lb).

It does feel like a big car, but it isn’t the huge, lumbering beast that full-size sedans used to be.

Ford has enhanced the SHO’s stability control system with a new feature called torque vectoring whereby a slight amount of braking is applied to the inside front wheel to increase vehicle stability in curves.

Further, a new technology called curve control senses when a vehicle is entering a curve too quickly and can apply four-wheel braking to reduce speed and help drivers follow their intended path.

A number of sound deadening measures make the 2013 SHO a quieter car inside. All in all, the cabin is nicely finished, comfortable and functional with more soft-touch materials than in the past.

Genesis Coupe gets more muscle for 2013 Special to Black Press Hats off to Hyundai. Not just for adding a true reardrive sportscar to their ever expanding lineup, but for fixing something that didn’t suck.

I’ve heard little griping about the Genesis Coupe since it bowed in 2009 as a 2010 model, but the Korean automaker has, to their credit, seen fit to make more than just a few styling tweaks – like faux hood intakes, redesigned grille, LED daytime running lights and taillights – for 2013.

They’ve added serious muscle.

Let’s start with the top-trim 3.8 GT, which sells for $36,999 with six-speed manual or $38,799 with a new eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters.

This is the only Genesis Coupe that gets V6 power, and for 2013, the DOHC 3.8-litre Lambda engine benefits from gasoline direct injection, delivering a gain of 42 hp and 29 lb/ft of torque. This bumps peak horsepower to an impressive 348, and peak torque to 295 lb/ft.

These ratings assume you’re willing to pony up the extra for premium fuel, but if you’re thrifty like me and willing to give up a few points, the Lambda will run just fine on regular – thanks to its antiknock technology.

However impressive the numbers, it is still more a question of power-to-weight, and that’s where the Genesis shines. The Coupe beats not only high-priced import competitors such as Infiniti G37 and BMW 335i, but also domestics like the V6-powered Mustang, Camaro and Challenger.

The Genesis 3.8 will also sprint from zero to 100 km/h in just over five seconds, but keep in mind that any tire slippage will wake up the traction control and cut power to the rear wheels.

Fortunately, the 2013 Coupe now offers three-stage driver-selectable electronic stability control, so you need not completely abandon the safety nannies to have a little fun.

In stage one, everything is full-on: both traction control and stability control. Stomp the throttle while going around a corner and the system will shut down the rear wheels before you even crack a smile.

Stage two provides a little braking if the back end steps too far out, but otherwise allows enough wheelspin for those who enjoy that kind of thing.

In a safe, controlled environment, of course.

And for those who want to push it a little harder on the track, stage three disables the works, allowing you to drift at will. Believe me, the 3.8-litre Coupe has no problem lighting up the tires and going sideways around a corner, I just wouldn’t recommend it on our public roadways.

Another tweak to the Lambda V6 is an acousticallytuned pathway that pipes engine sound from the intake to the passenger cabin. I enjoy the snarl, but if you’re looking for a quiet ride, this ain’t it.

Indeed, the V6 is potent, but the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine is no slouch either. Especially now

Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Premium and 3.8 GT 2013 BODY STYLE: mid-size sports coupe DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, rear-wheel-drive ENGINE: 2.0-litre turbocharged DOHC 16-valve four cylinder (274 hp/275 lb/ft of torque); 3.8-litre 24-valve V6 (348 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque) FUEL ECONOMY: 2.0T manual 10.0/6.6 L/100 km (city/hwy); 2.0T auto 10.4/6.4 L/100 km (city/hwy); 3.8-litre manual 11.5/7.3 L/100 km (city/hwy); 3.8-litre auto 11.3/7.0 L/100 km (city/hwy) CARGO: 332 litres PRICE: 2.0T manual $26,499, automatic $28,299; R-Spec $28,700; 2.0T Premium manual $29,899, automatic $31,699; 3.8 GT manual $36,999, automatic $38,799

that it has an exhaust manifold-integrated twinscroll turbocharger and a larger intercooler. This serves to reduce turbo lag and improve combustion efficiency.

Like its V6 sibling, the new 2.0T can take regular fuel. Its anti-knock sensors automatically adjust ignition timing and engine mapping to run smoothly, and with only a slight drop in performance.

It’s obviously not as quick as the 3.8 Coupe, and launch is a bit soft until the turbo spools up to around 2,000 rpm. But that’s to be expected with an automatic transmission – even the new eight-speed (an $1,800 option) as fitted to my tester.

The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a true performance car, aimed at the driving enthusiast.

Skyactiv is another way to go green Special to Black Press

T

here seem to be a number of different roads manufacturers are taking to get us to a greener world.

One is the road of pure EVs (electric vehicles), another for full hybrids and mild hybrids. Then there is one for extended range EVs and yet another for hydrogen.

And then there is Mazda that is alone in taking the long-serving internal combustion gasoline engine to the next green level with something they call Skyactiv Technology and the reason for this road test of the 2013 CX-5 compact CUV with the full Skyactiv treatment.

Skyactiv is a combination of new engines, transmissions, bodies and chassis all developed in house and sharing nothing with any other manufacturer.

The CX-5 is the first Mazda to integrate all four components into one vehicle. With the Skyactiv-G (gasoline) and Skyactiv-D (diesel)

engines, the aim was to make them lighter, more powerful and more fuelefficient than any other similar engines on the market.

In Canada, the CX-5 will only come with the Skyactiv-G engine for now.

We will get the diesel sometime next summer but probably in a different vehicle such as the next-gen Mazda6 mid-size sedan.

The 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G engine in the CX-5 is 10 per cent lighter than the current 2.0-litre. It is also boasts 15 per cent lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

This was done in a number of ways. Internal friction was lowered by 30 per cent. The compression ratio was bumped up to 13:1 on regular gas not premium. For comparison, a Ferrari Italia has a compression ratio of 12:1. Mazda also uses a Formula One style 4-2-1 exhaust system that makes for much better scavenging of spent gasses. It results in 155 hp and 150 lb/ft of torque compared to 143 hp and 135 lb/ft for the current 2.0-litre.

Next Mazda developed two new transmissions.

Mazda CX-5 2013 at a glance BODY STYLE: compact SUV DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, front/all-wheel drive.

ENGINE: 2.0-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder (155 hp, 150 lb/ft torque FUEL ECONOMY: Regular: manual FWD, 7.8/5.7L/100 km city/highway; automatic FWD; 7.7/6.1L/100 km; automatic AWD 8.0/6.4L/100 km.

The Skyactiv-Drive sixspeed automatic is not a dual clutch system but it does have some of the advantages because of a full-range lock-up clutch.

Because it is very compact and light, it offers up a seven per cent better fuel economy.

The Skyactiv-MT sixspeed manual is Mazda’s smallest and lightest manual to date. One of the goals was to make shifting as quick and positive as the MX-5 Miata to retain Mazda’s reputation of sportiness.

Body was made eight per cent lighter but 30 per cent more rigid. Similarly, the Skyactiv-Chassis is 14 per cent lighter but more rigid.

In fact, a stated goal

by Mazda is reduce the weight of each vehicle it replaces by at least 100 kg or 220 lb.

Putting it all together the manual in the front-wheel-drive gets 7.8/5.7L/100 km city/ highway. The FWD automatic is 7.7/6.1L/100 km and the AWD automatic is 8.0/6.4L/100 km.

A lot of work went into the suspension geometry.

The biggest thing is a

change in the front-end caster angle from five degrees as with most of the Japanese SUVs to seven degrees as most of the Germans. Knowing a good thing when they see it, the CX-5 is now set up like a BMW for a more European feel in ride and handling.

Will Skyactiv work?

The most telling thing of all was after pounding the CX-5 around the track and then on the highway, the instant fuel consumption readout was showing (US) 33 mpg.

And from that, it looks to me like Mazda is on a very green road indeed.

The 2013 CX-5 compact SUV is the first of a whole new generation of Mazda vehicles to incorporate Skyactiv technology but it also retains the soul of a sportscar.

now that’s more like it.

fitness Nutrition advice to help beat the heat

A Runner’s Mind Christine Blanchette

Now that summer has finally arrived bringing with it a heat wave- it’s time to trade your woo-

lies for Bermuda shorts and discover what type of foods to eat for more energy, improved performance and a healthier b ody.

During a recent interview with registered dietitian and nutrition consultant, Crystal Higgins, she offered some tips on what runners should eat during summer. The following Q&A hopefully, will inspire you to eat healthier for an active lifestyle:

How much more should runners drink during summer?

Summer runners should drink plenty of fluids—at least two to three litres per day. In addition to hydrating throughout the day runners should drink at least two cups of water two hours prior to running and one cup 30 minutes before.

If there is a water fountain on your route, utilize it. Otherwise invest in a belt with mini bottles for longer runs of 45 minutes

or more. It is best to take a few sips every 15 to 20 minutes, especially when the heat is intense. Some runners may lose up to two pounds of fluid via sweat, per hour.

A balanced, healthy diet (including) vegetables, fruit, lean proteins and whole grains are best for an active lifestyle. Take advantage of many of the local farms.

What are the best food choices that runners should make?

The key is choosing the right foods in appropriate portions.For lunch and dinner fill half of your plate with veggies. The other quarters should consist of a whole grain and 3-4 oz of lean protein. Balance the meal with a glass of skim milk or yogurt and a piece of fruit.

Low fat dairy foods with fruit are ideal for runners as they contain a perfect balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates and naturally occurring electrolytes needed for high intensity activity.

The key is to fuel yourself with foods that are easy to digest while providing enough carbohydrates to maintain your blood sugar levels.

Are gels or power bars replacements for balanced nutrition?

Gels and power bars are helpful for high performance athletes that train for multiple hours per day. If you are running for an hour or less, these products are not necessary. The average summer runner should aim to get the majority of nutrition through whole foods rather than processed products.

Check out www.sportmedbc.com for credible reviews on gels, bars and sport drinks.

What should runners eat if they feel exhausted after the workout?

Runners should have some carbohydratecontaining foods 30 minutes after running. Good choices include: chocolate milk, cereal and milk, a banana, cubed melons, orange slices, yogurt, whole grain bagel or a slice of toast with low sugar fruit spread. Be sure to drink 2-4 cups of water to stay hydrated.

Bradley boys share B.C. Games connection

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Chandler Bradley has a knack for scoring goals, a habit he hopes to display at this weekend’s B.C. Summer Games in Surrey.

“I’m really competitive and like playing at the highest of my ability,” says the 16-year-old from Richmond, who will suit up for the Zone 4 (Fraser River-Delta) box lacrosse team. “It’s an honour to represent my city and sport and try my best.”

Bradley already knows a lot of his teammates, having played with or against them. But he’s also looking forward to playing against the other top players from around the province in his age group, while confident his squad has what it takes to win gold.

“I always want to help my team out and scoring is my competitive edge,” he says. “I think I’m somewhat of a natural scorer because I’m not really a defensive player. I like offence a lot more but I always try to play to the buzzer.”

Bradley is also motivated to be at his best to uphold

the family name. His brother, Quinton, is a B.C. Games alum having played on Zone 4 field lacrosse team at the 2008 Games in Kelowna.

“Me and Quinton are compared a lot,” he says.

“It’s not that I necessarily want to do better, but I don’t want to be the same.

I just want to be myself. I think of Quinton as more of the smart, silent type whereas I think I’m more outgoing. And I think on impulse where Quinton thinks ahead more.”

Proud that his younger brother is following his lacrosse footsteps, while carving out his own niche in the sport, Quinton has fond memories of the B.C. Games.

“We definitely had a talented team and it was disappointing losing the final after we dominated all the way through, but the Games themselves were great,” he says. “I had no idea what to expect before going in, but it was a really fun experience.“ “Staying with the team over night in the school and going to other events and meeting other people from

other sports was great,” says Quinton. “And meeting some people who’d par-

ticipated when they were younger and are now so far up in their sports was

awesome. It definitely helps prepare you. Most of the players I know on

Olympic table tennis players get final chance to warm up before London Games The first phase of the 2012 Butterfly Canadian Table Tennis Championships begins with the senior events this week at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Led by Richmond’s own Canadian Olympian Andre Ho, and fea-

turing Olympic teammates Wang Zhen and Pierre-Luc Hinse, the senior events began Thursday and will continue through Saturday. The junior events, featuring the future stars of the sport, is scheduled for July 23 to 26, also

at the oval.

Ho, 20, earned his Olympic spot by defeating Hinse in five games to win the first men’s tournament at the North American table tennis qualifier held in Cary, N.C. in April.

The Richmond Girls’ Softball Association is hosting the second of four provincial championships this weekend at London Park.

On the heels of the Under-14 (Peewee A) championship last weekend (in which the host team placed fourth), Richmond Islanders 2000 and 2001 A teams are hosting the 12-team under-12 (Squirt A) championship this Friday through Sunday (July 20 to 22).

In addition to the two host clubs, there are also entries from Abbotsford, Delta and two each from Ridge Meadows, Surrey, Victoria and White Rock.

Some eight teams are expected to participate in the under-21 A and B (Junior) provincial championships next weekend (July 27 to29).

Earlier, Richmond hosted the provincial under-14C (Peewee house) championship July 6 to 8.

Richmond stages send-off for London-bound athletes

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond marked the 10-day countdown to the start of the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games Tuesday with a special send-off for several members of Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic teams at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Richmond-born Andre Ho and fellow Canadian Olympic table tennis team members Wang Zhen and Pierre-Luc Hinse, along with Richmond’s Travis Murao and Ian Chan and Vancouver’s Trevor Hirschfield and Fabien Lavoie

of Canada’s Paralympic wheelchair rugby team, attended the official send-off. They are among seven of 36 athletes bound for London who trained at the oval in preparation for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“We expected the oval would help Canada grow and develop new generations of Olympic and world champions, and we’ve already become a key part of the Canadian sport development network by helping to train so many members of our London team,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Richmond has produced a series of good luck posters for Canada’s athletes. Brodie is encouraging the public to show its support by signing the posters (on display in the oval lobby) before Tuesday, July 24 when they will be sent to our athletes competing in the Olympic Summer Games.

In addition, the public is invited to watch live broadcasts of the London Games, without interruption, on the oval’s exterior LED screens beginning at 6 a.m. until the competition ends each day. The Olympics begin July 27 and continue through Aug. 12. The Paralympics are Aug. 29 to Sept. 9.

Look Who’s New at Blundell Centre Bellissima returns to Richmond

Blundell Centre is new home to quality women’s fashion store One of the secrets to making a women’s fashion store successful is providing quality merchandise with superior service.

And that’s exactly what staff at the new Bellissima Fashions store at Blundell Centre mall pride themselves in.

Della Docking, regional supervisor of Bellissima, which has 11 Lower Mainland locations and two on Vancouver Island, said Bellissima recently made its return to Richmond with the opening of its bright new store at Blundell Centre in March.

“We pride ourselves in customer service,” Docking said.

“You don’t see a lot of that anymore. Lots of retailers are self serve.”

The store boasts its own in-house designer, Vivian Wong, who was schooled in Paris and designs fashions exclusively for the store.

“We offer interesting pieces that you don’t see in a lot of stores. We’re bound to find something for you.

Bellissima caters to women 30 and up, providing quality

fashions from the mid to high end.

The store has a wide selection, everything from dresses to party wear, work wear, casual clothing, and a wide array of accessories.

Docking said the fashion business is a competitive one, and where Bellissima sets itself apart is its selection and the atmosphere brought by their upbeat and enthusiastic staff.

That includes store manager Dawn Robirtis and store sales associates Tricia Zimmer and Christine Cheng.

Bellissima’s origins date back to 1973, when the husbandand-wife team of River and Serena started their own importing business. In 1975, the first Serena Fashions store opened in Downtown Vancouver, and in 1981, they joined up with Serena’s sister, Viviana, and expanded to Alberta.

Since opening, the business has grown from four staff at one store, to more than 200 employees at 22 stores in B.C. and Alberta.

Bellissima store manager Dawn Robirtis is joined by sales associates Tricia Zimmer and Christine Cheng at their new location at Blundell Centre.

Bellissima offers everything from party wear, work wear, and casual clothing, and boasts fashions from in-house designer Vivian Wong, that are exclusive to the store.

They are as follows: - A reduction of the maximum amortization period from 30 years to 25 years - Maximum refinance amount only up to 80% of the value of your home - A ban on mortgage insurance on properties valued over $1MM - meaning, you must have 20% down to buy a property worth over one million.

- Limiting the ratios used to qualify clients for a mortgage to 39% GDS & 44% TDS. (Currently GDS doesn’t apply to qualified borrowers with excellent credit scores) GDS = Gross Debt Servicing (The % of a borrowers income needed pay all monthly housing costs - mortgage, heat, prop. taxes, and 50% of strata fees) TDS = Total Debt Servicing (The % of a borrowers income needed to cover all housing costs + all remaining debts (LOC’s, credit cards, loans, etc) In regards to how this affects your affordability: If under the old rules you qualified for a purchase of $400,000 with 5% down over 30 years - now under the new rules of 25 year amortizations, and if you still had only 5% down, you could now only qualify for a purchase of $357,500.

Give us a call to find out more on the rules or for any mortgage help!

Q: When do the new coin, banknote and stamp

Landlords can choose whether they will permit pets and charge a one-time pet damage deposit. The landlord can also restrict the size, kind or number of pets. The pet damage deposit cannot be more than half of one month’s rent, no matter how many pets are being allowed. Generally, pet damage deposits can only be used to cover costs of repairing damage caused by a pet. A landlord who lets an existing tenant get a pet during the tenancy can require the tenant to pay a pet damage deposit. Before receiving the pet deposit, the landlord must get together with the tenant to inspect the rental unit and complete a Condition Inspection Report. The landlord must give the tenant a copy of the report within seven days. Pet damage deposits cannot be charged for guide animals.

When a tenant moves out When there are no problems, the landlord must return all of the security deposit or pet damage deposit, plus accrued interest, to the tenant.

A landlord may want to keep some of the deposit to cover damage caused by the tenants pet(s). The landlord and tenant can agree on an amount or the landlord can apply for a dispute resolution officer’s (DRO) order allowing him or her to keep all or part of the security deposit or pet damage deposit.

After a tenant has moved out and given the landlord their forwarding address in writing, the landlord has 15 days to do one of the following: • Return deposit monies, with applicable interest, to the tenant. The landlord may deduct any unpaid amount from a dispute resolution officer’s order from a previous dispute.

• Ask the tenant to agree in writing to any deductions and pay the difference to the tenant.

Return deposit monies, with applicable interest.

• Apply for dispute resolution asking for an order to keep all or some of a deposit.

The landlord can continue to hold a deposit until the dispute resolution process is complete.

Vertebrae fit together so that the nerve supply produced in the brain may filter down your spinal cord and out over your nerves. This nerve supply is responsible for growth, repair and healing in your body.

When vertebrae are out of alignment, nerves become stretched or twisted and this vital link in the body is disrupted. This disturbance is called a subluxation and it may result in the failure of one of more parts of the body as well as health in general.

Newborns should be checked soon after birth and should be checked regularly throughout the first year. Older children also need regular checkups and possibly adjustments. Chiropractic is safe and effective for children.

Call today to have you and your children assessed for spinal subluxations.

If you have a hearing loss, it takes more mental energy just to concentrate on listening, which may add to fatigue or just ‘tuning out’.

Q: Is the radiation exposure from dental xrays

It is not necessary to shout loudly because volume is not the biggest concern, rather the speed and articulation of the words is more of a factor. Shouting can be just as uncomfortable to a hearing loss person as a normal hearing person, so eye contact, slower pace of talking and clarity of words is crucial.

Q: Am I living with hearing loss?

The first noticeable sign is difficulty with communication which requires two people to interact. When this communication becomes more one-sided, conflict can arise because one person must repeat themselves, the other one must continually ask. Hearing loss requires more effort to try to hear ‘normally’ and this can cause frustration on both sides.

a health concern?

Yes and no. Taking dental xrays is indicated when the information they provide to your dentist cannot be derived somewhere else. There is a small potential risk to the use of any xrays but that risk is related to the total dose received over your lifetime (like the ultraviolet radiation from the sun and skin cancer).

To put this in perspective the average North American receives about one millirem of radiation dose per day (or less) from background sources. Most of this is from natural sources like radon and cosmic radiation but includes all sources, natural or man made. One dental xray (the small ones) are about 1/2 millirem or half day equivalent (or less). A panoramic xray which you may have had is approximately 1/2 to 1.0 millirem or a bit less than one day equivalent (or less). By comparison one coast to coast airline flight will expose you to around 3 millirems or 3 days background equivalent.

With respect to the dental xrays doses I mention above I have said “or less” because of recent technology advances. Most dental offices are or have converted to using digital xray technology. The doses above relate to the old traditional xray film/analogue xray doses. Digital xray sensor doses are almost one tenth of these older xray exposure levels. In fact when we started using digital sensors, which are ultrasensitive, we had to turn our anode (xray camera) to the absolute lowest settings. It is “just barely on” for digital compared to the settings we needed for standard film xrays. The same applies to all dental-related xray doses now. This is an expensive change for a dental office to make but in addition to much lower radiation, the image quality is much better and more useful.

Next time, some thoughts on the recent headline in the Globe and Mail (April 12, 2012) about a connection between brain tumors and dental xrays.

Q: As a Strata Council we are confused and

do not know the difference between a Depreciation Report completed by a Professional Engineer or an AACI designated Professional Appraiser or CRP( Canadian Reserve Planner) designated Professional? Can you clear this up for us?

in your car?

A:

A: A reserve fund study or Depreciation Report should not be confused with such studies or reports by Engineers as Technical Audits, condition reports, Building Restoration Reports, Facilities Assessments, Environmental Investigations, engineering Studies, Construction deficiency Reports or construction specifications.

Engineers centre more on the site improvements of a strata complex and usually place less focus on property value implications and impacts. AACI designated Appraisers and CRP (Canadian Reserve Planners) professionals utilize a functional financial Uniformat style of Depreciation Report which provides multiple methods of funding to Strata council along with a complete life cycle analysis of all the site improvements.

AACI designated professional Appraisers and CRP professionals are also qualified to advise the strata council on property value impacts resulting from the advice given in the Depreciation report.

A reserve Fund Study or Depreciation Report in the Uniformat style is primarily a financial document which should provide a reliable cost estimate and projection for reserve funding purposes. It is technical only to the extent that reserve components are recognized , quantified and evaluated. The Depreciation report is a financial plan which provides conceptual framework, detailed descriptions of reserve fund requirements, cost estimates, inflationary trends, interest rate assumptions, future capital requirements for major repairs and replacements as well a appropriate funding projections.

The Uniformat style of Depreciation report is used by AACI designated appraisers and CRP Professionals across Canada in all other provinces where Reserve Fund Studies are Mandatory. Since BC has been recently legislated (Dec/11) only the NWT, Yukon and Quebec do not have legislation which governs and makes Depreciation Reports or reserve Fund Studies mandatory.

Yours in health, Isaac Payne

Diabetes mellitus is classified into type I and II. In type I, there is failure of insulin production by the islet cells of the pancreas. This is why it presents itself very early in life and there is not anything that can be done to prevent this. In type II, there is impaired insulin production and/or insulin resistance.

The insulin present in the blood is unable to do its function. There are various risk factors for this type of diabetes which, if modified, can lead to prevention or delay of development of this illness or at least help control it much better. Some of these risk factors cannot be modified such as family history of diabetes, ethnicity, aging and let’s just say pregnancy as well. Women developing diabetes in pregnancy are at higher risk of having diabetes later on in life. Other risk factors such as impaired glucose metabolism, increased triglycerides and decreased HDL chlesterol levels in the blood, obesity, lack of activity, cigarrette smoking and alcohol abuse can certainly be modified.

To prevent diabetes type II, exercise regularly, eat healthier, stay slim and trim, have a pear shaped body rather than an apple shaped one, stop smoking and work on your alcohol consumption. If you are 45 and older, ask your family doctor to check your cholesterols and glucose metabolism if it hasn’t been done already. Until next time, this is your local family doctor.

Q: Hackers have stolen your accounts and passwords?

been told that lifting weights will make me slower, is this true?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that lifting weights will make you slower when in reality it’s quite the opposite.

Studies have shown that speed is primarily a product of force production that is best developed through strength training. The key is to build strength without adding too much unnecessary muscle mass. An effective strength training program that includes squats, deadlifts, lunges, and various plyometrics can help to dramatically improve speed, power, and explosiveness. Remember, in order to get faster, you have to get stronger.

Dr. Michael Schaufele

A:

Q: I’m 17 years old and I play basketball and soccer and I want to improve my speed. I’ve

A:

The answer to this question is YES! With warm weather finally here, we urge you to protect your pets against a common summer safety hazard. Hundreds of pets die needlessly every year because well-meaning owners leave them unattended in parked cars while they run errands.

The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. In a parked car the temperature can climb to well over 38 degrees.

Pets can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time—usually just 10 minutes before suffering irreparable brain damage or death.

Dogs (and cats) cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures making it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your pet will be much happier and safer at home, with shade and plenty of cool water.

Q: What can you do to decrease the chances of developing diabetes mellitus?

Q: How could grease get in MY drain?

A:

Grease is one of the most common problems for backed up drains - and there are two reasons for this. The first reason is the food that you put down the garbage disposal; and the second reason is washing dishes, pots and pans that have grease on them. We answer calls almost every day from a person who doesn’t understand why their drains are clogged when they think that they have been careful with the way they treat their garbage disposal, the kitchen sink and the dishwasher.

The fact of the matter is that no matter how careful you are with food, grease will build up in your drain pipes. This is because we all use some kind of olive oil, or corn oil when we cook and it has to be washed off of the dishes. As well, if you cook any kind of meat, it will give off grease that will clog your pipes when you wash the dishes. Obviously, you probably use hot water when you wash the dishes, but the hot water cools off when it contacts with the colder piping in the lower parts of your plumbing and this is what starts the grease buildup in your drains.

If you make meals in your home, unfortunately, there isn’t any way to prevent grease from slipping down the drain. In reality, grease is just a fact of life, and unclogging your drains is a regular part of home maintenance. You can prevent clogged drains from all kinds of things (like if there is too much hair in the drain) but you will still eventually have to call a professional plumber, no matter how careful you are.

Richmond begins run for playoff title Regular-season champion Roadrunners facing Burnaby in best-of-three series After a couple of days off to celebrate their regular-season success, the Richmond Roadrunners are back at it.

The B.C. Intermediate A lac ro s s e c h a m p i o n s , w h i c h clinched first place with a convincing 24-8 win over Delta Islanders last Friday at the Ladner Leisure Centre, returned to play Wednesday in Game 1 of the best-of-three opening-round playoff series against Burnaby at Minoru Arena. Game 2 goes Monday at Burnaby’s Copeland Arena, with the deciding game, if needed, back at Minoru next

Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Cody Nass had a lights-out night against Delta scoring six goals and assisting on nine others. His 15 points pushed him over the 100-point mark (103) and earned him the league’s top individual scoring honours.

Despite Nass’ offensive dynamics, the scoring was well distributed as even a few defenceman got goals. Besides Nass, Josh Mclaughlin (4), Tyler Vogrig (3), Spencer Bromley (3), Braeden Jensen (2), Ryan Vogrig (1), Adam Wagner (1), Griffen Leclaire (1), Reed Leclaire (1), Connor David-

son (1), and Alex Morghese (1) also found the range.

Bromely had five assists; Ryan Vogrig three; Tyler Vogrig , Leclaire, Alex Morghese, Reed Leclaire, and Wagner two each; and Michael Vadenbossche, Connor Davidson, Shawn Hanley and Jensen one each.

Richmond (15-3-0 on the season) will hope to play the same disciplined style against eighthplace Burnaby (5-13-0) they did against Delta.

The provincial championship will be decided in Burnaby over the August long weekend.

Currently, Canada’s Food Guide recommends for Canadians to consume at least 150 grams of fish each week as part of a healthy diet. All fish contain the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. These fatty acids are produced in very tiny amounts in our bodies so it is important for children and adults alike to obtain them through food. Fish oil has earned the reputation of being a “brain food” as studies have clearly shown its benefits on the visual and brain development of children. As a result, many infant formulas are now fortified with these omega-3 fatty acids.

Glaucoma is an eye disease affecting the optic nerve (the internal structure connecting the eye to the brain), and is a leading cause of blindness. Vision loss due to glaucoma typically begins with peripheral or side vision, and the condition is sometimes called a “silent thief” because significant eye-sight can be lost before symptoms are even noticed.

Your eye doctor may perform a peripheral vision test to detect early signs of glaucoma and related vision loss. Other risk factors, such as elevated eye pressure, family history, age, ethnicity, and suspicious optic nerve appearance also aid in the early detection of glaucoma, even before vision loss begins.

Only your doctor can determine if you have glaucoma and compliance of regular eye examinations is the best thing you can do for early detection and to protect yourself from glaucomatous vision loss. Depending on the type and severity of glaucoma, treatment can include medications and/or surgery.

Q:

My child is 4 years old. She is very shy, she does not make friends easily and does not want to participate in physical activities, I am worried that she will be an outcast when she gets into the school system. What should I do to encourage her to open up a little more?

I understand that FortisBC offers a $300 rebate for EnerChoice gas fireplaces. What does EnerChoice mean and how do I qualify?

A:

You are correct in that FortisBC has re-introduced their EnerChoice Fireplace Program which is running from June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. This is a great program where Home Owners are rewarded for purchasing and installing efficient gas fireplaces, inserts, or stoves.

Generally speaking, children’s personalities can be categorized into three types: • The “easy” child—is mostly relaxed, even-tempered and friendly.

• The “difficult” child - is prone to cry, feel hurt or get angry easily, and is hard to please.

• The “slow to warm up” child - is afraid to try new things, take chances and experience failure.

When children are accepted, reassured, encouraged and proven successful they will strive. Criticism or negativity is very damaging and can push a “slow to warm up” child in the opposite direction, thus making the situation worse.

Since a child of this type is a deep and abstract thinker, and handling him/her will require encouragement and patience. Each small achievement needs to be acknowledged and celebrated, and “failures or mishaps” ignored. Following is an example: Your child climbed a few steps on the swing set and froze.

You will say, “WOW, great climbing!” Before she/he attempts to get down, ask if she/ he needs help. Offer to hold the child’s hand and help her/him climb to the top a few times, until she/he develops confidence to climb alone.

Then you will say enthusiastically—“You did it”!

You can take this “formula “and apply it to practically any situation with the same positive results. Though it is NOT an overnight success method, doing this consistently will raise the child’s confidence.

Remember, scolding, punishing and getting angry with the “slow to warm up” child, can most certainly damage the child’s self-esteem.

Be patient, use love and care with your child, and be consistent. This works wonders.

Q: What is glaucoma and how do I know if

I have heard that my kids may benefit from taking daily fish oil. What are your thoughts?

Traditionally, fish oil is found in the form of gel capsules, which many kids find difficult to swallow. A great alternative is Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Gummies. Containing purified fish oils, these tasty gummies are much easier to consume and will provide all the essential fish oils kids need. For adults, the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates fish oil to be effective for lowering triglycerides and contributing to the prevention of heart disease.

For these reasons, I suggest Metagenics EPA-DHA high concentrate liquid as one teaspoon will provide the same amount of EPA and DHA as 18 salmon oil capsules. Ask about Nordic and Metagenics fish oil products at your local pharmacy or find it at Pharmasave Steveston Village!

EnerChoice products are established by using the testing program from EnerGuide, a Government of Canada initiative that rates the energy consumption of household appliances. These fireplaces carry minimum EnerGuide efficiency ratings of 62.4% (fireplaces), 61% (inserts), and 66% (stoves). The efficiency tells the Home Owners how much heat will return into their home. For example, an insert with 70% efficiency using 30,000 BTU would provide an expected 21,000 BTU. Another example would be a 20,000 BTU fireplace x 67% efficiency = 13,400 BTU. To qualify, the fireplace product must be purchased prior to May 31, 2013 and installed under local permits. If you choose a product to be installed by The Richmond Firebox, we will ensure that the FortisBC submission form is completed.

Developers including work-live spaces in new projects

Achieving the work-life balance Living in the Lower Mainland can sometimes mean a long commute between work and home. Many developers are making this easier on homeowners by incorporating worklive spaces in their new homes.

A work-live space is usually a small space in a home with room for a desk and often shelving and lighting. It can be a separate room, or more often, a designated nook off of the living area.

Treegroup’s Headwaters takes it one step further, offering a Business Centre that includes a conference room, Internet lounge and private offices. The homes include an area that Treegroup calls a Personal Hub, with a built-in

desk and recessed lighting.

Another development that offers work-live spaces is Cressey’s MTwo, which include workstations in nearly every floorplan. Their Meccanica development will also include a space for working at home.

Bluetree Homes’ developments at Kanaka Creek and Bishop Creek are also in the thick of the work-live trend with their bonus room in every floorplan that is perfect for an office.

When your commute can be measured in seconds rather than minutes, you’ll have more time to enjoy the sunny day and get more done when you’re not worried about fighting traffic.

A stress-free buying experience

Coming home to Morningstar’s Kingston

by Kerry Vital

When you’re looking for a home fit for royalty, look no further than Morningstar Homes’ Kingston on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain.

“This is one of the most pictureperfect projects,” says Morningstar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Deborah Calahan. “Coquitlam has not had homes of this grandeur before.”

The homes opened for sale on July 7, and already over 25 per cent of them have sold. With just 26 single-family homes in the project, they are already proving very popular, and Calahan says people don’t want to miss out.

“There are no other homes like it,” she says. “These are the last of the big lots on Burke Mountain.”

Morningstar prides itself on its array of options that they give home buyers, and nowhere is this more evident than at Kingston.

With two different floorplans (Emerald and Sapphire), both over 4,300 square feet, the homes at Kingston are truly spacious. With an open-concept layout and tons of amazing features, there is no shortage of things to fall in love with as you tour the two show homes.

You can start with the huge lots, ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 square feet. All of them have plenty of usable backyard space for playing or entertaining, and back onto a protected green creek space.

The four-bedroom homes include windows from floor to the 19-foot ceiling in the great room on the main floor, letting the light pour in no matter what Mother Nature is doing outside.

Beside the great room, the kitchen is a chef ’s dream, with a huge granite island and the option to include a spice or butler’s kitchen. The Emerald plan includes French doors out to the backyard, which Calahan says have been a particularly popular feature.

The Sapphire plan’s door opens from the side of the kitchen, continuing Morningstar’s theme of offering choices for homeowners.

The kitchen and dining area includes chic hardwood flooring, while the rest is carpeted, with the option to have hardwood throughout the living areas.

“We added more personal choices,” Calahan says. “That’s not typical of a volume builder.”

The master suite is seriously stunning, with vaulted ceilings and private Juliet balconies perfect for

“

This is one of the most picture-perfect projects,” says Morningstar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Deborah Calahan. a glass of wine or a morning cup of coffee. The ensuite bathroom is fit for a spa, with a huge soaker tub and separate glass-framed shower, and a sparkling chandelier.

“There’s a real resort feel in here,” says Calahan. “They really nailed it.”

On the bottom floor, Morningstar again offers you options. The basement comes unfinished, but you are also able to make it into a legal suite or a deluxe finished basement. In every case, you are able to walk out directly into your backyard, making the basement a perfect place for a media room, play area or, in the case of the Sapphire show home, an amazing wine cellar.

“We aim to make the home-buying experience smooth and stress-free,” Calahan says. “We’ve put together enough choices to make it your own while keeping it easy.”

Homes start at $1.1 million.
