Photographer Gianni Scaramella spotted the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;of the falcon family and a rare sighting hereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perched on a piece of driftwood. It started ďŹ&#x201A;ying into a strong wind and moving up Iona Beach. Scaramella says he managed to run ahead of the bird and snap a few photos as it ďŹ&#x201A;ew by.

Unionized Canada Line workers are conducting a strike vote this week to put more pressure on their employer to sign a ďŹ rst collective agreement. But BC Government and Service Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union (BCGEU) spokesman Brian Gardiner said there is no immediate intention to halt or disrupt rapid transit service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are certainly no disruptions planned at this point,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make it clear to

the employer our members are serious about negotiations and they want to get an agreement.â&#x20AC;? Voting was expected to wrap up yesterday, and results may be released today (Thursday), although that is at the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion. Approximately 180 Canada Line workers hired by operator Protrans BC certiďŹ ed with the BCGEU in August 2009. They include control room operations workers, attendants and maintenance workers. Gardiner said there have been many bargaining sessions, some with the help of a mediator, over

‘Some people don’t understand they’re sick,’ author says by Rebekah Hammond Contributor Having a family member who suffers from a mental illness can be difﬁcult, but having information resources and knowing you’re not alone can help. Vancouver’s Susan Inman personally experienced the issues of living with a family member who suffered from a serious mental illness. She now speaks about her experience and advocates for awareness and early prevention programs. On Tuesday, Jan. 18, she’ll be speaking at the Brighouse branch of Richmond Public Library. Inman’s daughter was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder as a teenager and discovered there was a lack of information and support programs. “I thought there must be lots of parents with stories and support groups,” said Inman who learned that one per cent of Canadians have schizophrenia while over two per cent suffer from bipolar disorder. “I asked the nurses [about support programs] and they told me they hadn’t heard of any.” Inman has since written about her family’s experience in After Her Brain Broke, Helping My Daughter Recover Her Sanity, which she published in the spring of 2010. In her memoir, Inman recounts the journey she and her family took in helping

their daughter manage her disorder. Inman believes stories like the one she’s written may have helped her at the time of her daughter’s diagnosis. “Families embrace these stories because we don’t get the opportunity to see our stories, our situations and problems we’re trying to deal with represented,” she said. While in the last few years parental information on mental illnesses has emerged in the United States, Canada lags behind, according to Inman. Knowing the issues and methods that can be used to manage mental illness is an important tool for families with a member suffering from mental illness. Historically, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and even autism have often been related to poor parenting. Especially since the 1990s, however, mainstream psychiatry is beginning to see the illnesses as neurobiological disorders and recognizing there are affective psychiatric approaches to managing them, according to Inman. “There’s enough research that shows early intervention can really help create better outcomes,” said Inman. “We have some early psychosis intervention programs [in the Lower Mainland], but they need to be bigger and have better funding and publicity.” Another issue families can face is trying to get members to recognize they have

Quote program No. 115. a mental illness. “Some people don’t understand they’re sick because they think they’re normal,” said Inman. “They have no insight that their delusions are not real, so why would they go [for treatment]?”

As a result, complex issues arise over treating involuntary patients. These are only some of the issues families of people living with serious mental illnesses encounter and it is often an ongoing issue. “The nature of [mental] illnesses is they are not like pneumonia where you can cure it and it’s gone; they’re lifelong disorders,” said Inman. “It doesn’t mean it’s not treatable, a lot can be treated, but they’re not perfect and people have to live with certain situations.” Inman wrote her book in hopes of providing families facing similar circumstances with information—and to offer assurance that they’re not alone. “One of the real gifts of doing the book is the number of family members who say how much it means to them to have their story told.”

Candlelight vigil, celebration of life set Matthew McNair Secondary’s Lorne Bodin, 50, died last week of stomach cancer by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A celebration of the life of former Matthew McNair Secondary vice-principal Lorne Bodin will be held on Saturday, Jan. 22, but beforehand, students will be offering their own tribute to the teacher they were so fond of. Bodin, 50, died last week of stomach cancer as he was surrounded by his immediate family at Richmond Hospital. He was diagnosed with the aggressive form of the disease earlier this year, and had been slated to become principal at McNair this summer until he became ill. On Friday, Jan. 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., a candlelight vigil in his memory will be held at McNair’s ﬁeld. The following day, also at McNair, 9500 No. 4 Rd., a celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m. inside the school’s gymnasium.

“We are asking you to come comfortable—no ties—(Lorne hated them) but crazy socks are always welcome!” wrote his wife Jan and daughter Kerri Bodin. In lieu of ﬂowers, Bodin’s family is requesting that a donation be made to either BC Children’s Hospital or BC Cancer Agency. Bodin was highly regarded in the community by colleagues and students alike. “He truly was the best principal ever! I’m sad I never got to see him after graduation in 2002,” wrote Stacie Marie Grahn in a posting on a Facebook page dedicated to Bodin. Kerri Bodin, a student at University of BC, will be participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer this June, and has almost reached her goal of raising $1,000 in pledges for the fundraiser. It’s the same fundraiser her father participated in not long after being diagnosed. “Raising money for this cause

people he met and the journey they all did together.” While Kerri and her mom weren’t able to participate last year, this year will be different. They’ll be part of the crew, cheering on the riders and providing support.

“(So) this year, my mom and I thought it would be fitting to volunteer and raise money for a cause that we all feel strongly about, especially after what we went through this past year,” Kerri wrote in an e-mail. “Through personal stories, people are able to band together, find common ground, and, as cliché as it may sound, unite for one common goal. My mom and I are both looking forward to being a part of such an amazing event that has the ability to help change many peoples’ lives, both physically (by hopefully finding a cure with all the proceeds) and otherwise (by creating and facilitating support groups for those affected by the disease). To donate to her campaign, visit www.conquercancer.ca, then select BC, and then click donate and search for Bodin’s name. Lorne Bodin’s brother Greg will also be participating.

Saturday night’s tragedy in a local hotel room where a man, 55, and a woman, 50, were found dead appears to be a murder-suicide, Mounties said Wednesday. Both suffered some sort of trauma, according to RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley. Police were called around 6 p.m. Saturday by hotel staff after two guests did not check out as scheduled. When police looked, they found two deceased people in the hotel room they rented, both from Richmond. Although Mounties didn’t identify the hotel where the bodies were found, TV news outlets have reported it was a hotel in North Richmond. A call to that hotel’s general manager wasn’t returned by press time Wednesday. Autopsies were conducted on both victims, conﬁrming that one was murdered and the other suffered self-inflicted injuries. “The cause of death was sharp-edge trauma,” Turley said. Investigators aren’t saying who they think killed whom, and will not be releasing the names of the victims. Mounties also wouldn’t say whether the two victims are related.

Clean up or pay up, council says

It’s been a hectic beginning to the week for Richmond’s Melissa Saunders, who has been busy prepping to rub elbows with Hollywood’s acting elite this weekend. The founder of Barking Hippo, a Steveston-based children’s clothing company that converts retro shirts into nostalgic kids clothes, was invited late last year to attend a pre-Golden Globe award party prior to Sunday’s ﬁlm and television awards. She and high school friend Angie McDonnell were set to ﬂy down Wednesday to Hollywood, where they will be showing off Barking Hippo’s eco-friendly offerings at the celebrity parents party inside a Beverly Hills mansion that once belonged to Frank Sinatra. Saunders has prepped 50 VIP pieces for actors with children, including a sample of her work slipped into a record album cover. “It’s like a marketing dream to go to one of these,” Saunders said last month of her invitation to Jayneoni Moore’s Boom Boom Room. —Martin van den Hemel

East Richmond resident Leon Higman has two months to clean up his property or pay a $23,500 removal fee. On Monday, city council denied an appeal by Higman, whose Thompson Gate property is littered with vehicles, discarded debris—including combustible materials—and overgrown with vegetation. Safety concerns were raised and Higman was notified by the city last November that under the unsightly premises regulation bylaw he was required to clean up his property. More time was needed to remove debris because of weather conditions, stated Higman, who claimed to have cleaned up a portion of the back of the property. The city gave Higman until Feb. 28 to completely clean up his property or the city’s contracted disposal service will—at Higman’s cost. —Rebekah Hammond

Contributor Chinese food lovers scour the city for restaurants that cook their favorite dish perfectly and those signature dishes are being recognized at this year’s HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards. While regular foodies often rave about the atmosphere and overall flavours of their favorite restaurants, Chinese food connoisseurs seek out certain restaurants for certain dishes. “They’ll go far and wide to search out a place that serves the best fried chicken if they’re feeling like chicken or where the best Dungeness crab is served,” said Nancy Wong, event promoter. “So these places become famous for their signature dishes.” The HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards, an invitation-only event, is Jan. 18 at River Rock Casino Resort. Awards include 25 Critics’ Choice Signature Dishes, Chinese Chef of the Year, 15 Diners’ Choice awards and the Best Wine and Spirit Service. The event promises not just to be about winning but, of course, good food and entertainment as well. The city’s top Chinese chefs and industry-workers will be able to sample some of the award-winning dishes and, following the awards ceremony, be entertained by a renowned specialist in Imperial-style cooking. “Instead of stand-up comics or music performers, we’ve brought in chef Tony Wu from Beijing,” said Wong. Wu, winner of several international Chinese culinary awards, is an artist in the kitchen “that will leave you gasping in disbelief,” according to the event’s invitation. Wu can create 16,000 delicate strands of dragon beard noodles in two minutes, carve roses from fruit in one minute and toss paper-thin Chinese pancakes. To make it more incredible, “he does all these things while blindfolded,” said Wong. “It’s quite the

thing to see.” Next week’s event will be the third Chinese Restaurant Awards, which was started by Stephen Wong, a local chef, former restaurateur and food and wine journalist who wanted to expand the tastes of Chinese restaurant diners. “By awarding signature dishes we hope to help demystify the lengthy and sometimes perplexing menus,” he said. “It’s the simplest, most speciﬁc and most accessible way to get the public to jump in and try some Chinese dish, or restaurant, they may not have tried before.” Some of the awardwinning categories are for best Northern and Shanghainese cuisine, dim sum, appetizer, noodles, vegetarian dish, dessert/pastry and wine and beverages. This year’s Chef of the Year award will go to Tony Luk, executive chef at Richmond’s Jade Seafood Restaurant, who won the title in a December competition. Luk battled it out against 11 other chefs in a two-dish cook-off challenge where he won for his sauteed geoduck with egg white and Italian herbs and drunken free-run chicken with Yunnan wild morel mushroom sauce. The 15 Diners’ Choice awards were also already decided last fall when Lower Mainland diners voted for their favourite Chinese restaurants. Among other Chinese restaurant categories, votes were cast for the best Hong Kong-style milk tea joint, Chinese bakery, hot pot place, modern Chinese food and service.

ICBC has unveiled a list of 140 intersections where it’s activating new digital cameras to bust red light runners. The insurance corporation says the $20-million expansion of its existing program means there’s a better chance of catching violators, who then get $167 tickets in the mail. Under the old system, 30 film cameras were rotated through about 120 locations. Placing digital cameras in all 140 new locations mean there’s a nearly five-fold increase in intersections that can be electronically patrolled at any given time. Most of the sites are in Metro Vancouver, with eight in Richmond. ICBC denies it’s out to ring up tickets for a

cash grab, however, and says it will be selective in when and how many cameras are activated at a time. About 35 of 140 sites are now activated and the rest are to be added over the balance of the year. All the sites are considered high-risk intersections, many of them notorious for T-bone type crashes. Tickets are only issued to drivers who enter the intersection on a solid red light. ICBC predicts there will be a six-per-cent reduction in serious injury and fatal crashes at intersections as a result of the cameras, and reduced claims costs will pay for them. About 33,000 tickets a year are now expected to go up, an increase of 10,000. The ticket fine revenue

will go to local municipalities, not to ICBC. The digital system means tickets will go out in days, rather than the current four to six weeks.

The Integrated Safety Camera Unit issues 20,000 tickets a year to red light runners. Roughly 40 per cent of serious crashes happen at intersections.

City eyes new cyber emergency ops centre

Winter Specials

Ask about our Clutch & Brake Specials

Contributor The City of Richmond is applying for a grant to develop and demonstrate technology for a virtual emergency operations centre. City council approved the idea Monday but will have to wait until March to see if it wins a $350,000 grant from the federal government’s Centre for Security Science. The centre invests in science and technology that promises to improve Canada’s emergency preparedness. The development of a virtual emergency operations centre would be used to “enhance Canada’s ability to respond to and mitigate emergencies,” said Deborah Procter, author of the report and emergency program’s manager. “In this, Richmond is leading the way for Canada.” A virtual emergency operations centre in Richmond would allow data, such as maps, weather, resources and situational awareness information to be easily transmitted and shared with emergency personnel and experts. “This would be a way to connect online and to be aware of what’s going on in the city,” said Procter. “It’s information for experts in the ﬁeld to give advice to the city on that particular area in terms of a response.” Richmond’s Geographic Information System, which provides access to digital maps of the city with interactive layers of information, would be more widely accessible through the virtual emergency operations centre. “It gives us an opportunity to connect more sensors to the system so we have more information coming in,” said Procter. The technology wouldn’t replace the existing emergency operations centre, but be used in conjunction with it. Richmond would look into getting a consultant on board to do the integration of the existing systems, ac-

cording to Procter. If the grant is approved, Richmond would be a leader in developing the new virtual system. “We are driving it and are acting as the lead for the project,” said Procter. “I really believe this is something important for Richmond.” A proposed partner of the project, New Brunswick, is the only other area in Canada that is working on developing a version of the centre. “We’d learn from what they’ve done to provide

a better system,” said Procter. “They will be feeding into our project as well.” If the city receives the grant, total cost of the project would be $795,424 with project partners contributing $445,424 worth of staff time. Conﬁrmed partners include Public Safety Canada, Emergency Management BC, the province of New Brunswick and the Corporation of Delta. Expected completion of the three-year project would be May 2013.

Falcon, Abbott add to support As Shuswap MLA George Abbott announced his 16th supporter among BC Liberal MLAs Wednesday, Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon counted senator and former Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell among his supporters. Campbell sits as a Liberal senator in Ottawa, but ran with the left-leaning slate in his one term as Vancouver mayor when he was elected in 2002. He joins Conservative BC Senators Richard Neufeld, Gerry St. Germain and Yonah Martin in supporting Falcon. “I’ve known and worked with Kevin as both the mayor of Vancouver and a senator for BC,” Campbell said. “We didn’t agree on every issue, but he was always honest and forthright with me.” Vancouver-False Creek MLA Mary McNeil announced her support for Abbott on Wednesday, giving him the lead in support form current and former MLAs. Since her election in 2009, McNeil has served as cabinet minister responsible for

the Olympics and is now minister for citizen’s services. “This is a signiﬁcant decision, and for me it came down to style of leadership,” McNeil said. “In the time I have been working alongside George, I have been impressed by his depth and range of experience, and his ability to listen to and ﬁnd common ground to those with diverse interests and perspectives.” BC Liberal candidates have until Feb. 4 to sign up members who will be eligible to vote for the new leader on Feb. 26.

Farnworth joins NDP leadership race Veteran Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth is scheduled to announce today his candidacy for the leadership of the BC NDP.

Farnworth would become the ﬁfth candidate in the race to replace Carole James. Farnworth’s announcement is set for noon, next to Port Coquitlam city hall where he served three terms as a councillor before being elected as the local MLA in 1991. Re-elected in 1996, he served in several cabinet jobs for the NDP government, including health, social development and economic security. Farnworth joins Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan, Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali, Powell RiverSunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons and North Vancouver marijuana activist Dana Larsen in the leadership contest. Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix is also expected to run for the leadership, to be decided in an NDP membership vote on April 17. Defeated along with most NDP MLAs in 2001, Farnworth won back his job in 2005 and has served the opposition as house leader and public safety critic. A loyalist to James in the recent caucus revolt that led to her retirement in December, Farnworth has set himself apart with strong law-and-order stance. —Tom Fletcher

West Cambie green energy project approved The geothermal heating system slated for two multi-family buildings in the new Alexandra development is to be expanded to the rest of the West Cambie neighbourhood. Approval for the amendment to the Alexandra district energy utility bylaw passed unanimously at Monday’s city council meeting. The ﬁrst-phase of the Alexandra system, costing $4 million, will be a city-owned utility providing space heating, cooling and hot water. Originally, geothermal heating was to be installed in 450 new units being developed by the Oris Development Corp., but it will now be extended to 3,112 other multi-family units as well as commercial businesses.

Richmond as an environmental leader. The role of Richmond as an environmental leader continues to grow. The net benefit of this is less waste of water, less garbage, and generally, less impact on our environment. We’ve come a long way in the past few years. Some of Richmond’s interesting environmental initiatives include:

Alternate energy – in West Cambie,

long-proven technology enables heat to be taken from the ground to provide a reliable source of energy for new residences and commercial centers. Once the area is fully-redeveloped, it will be the equivalent of eliminating the greenhouse gases from up to 2000 cars. The area surrounding our Olympic Oval is another prime candidate for this approach.

Malcolm Brodie. Mayor.

(Paid for by Malcolm Brodie)

Green can program for food waste -

significant growth is expected for this important recycling component of the Zero Waste Challenge. Food scraps are now picked up curbside each week and sent for composting. Program expansion will include some townhouses this year. Have you noticed how this recycling decreases the amount of your other garbage?

Water metering - this encourages residents to reduce water usage and related costs. Almost 60% of single family dwellings are now metered.

Community gardens – this expanding

program reflects Richmond’s heightened interest in urban agriculture, food security and local-sourced food.

The environmental benefits of these and many other programs will ultimately accrue to future generations.

opinion Pause for thought

or the people of Haiti, there is little hope to cling to. It’s been one year since a 7.0-magnitude earthquake brought this nation to its knees. Billions of dollars have been pledged to help the country get back on its feet, but by all accounts, the country still can’t get a foothold. From Haiti’s grim cholera-ridden streets, we in Richmond should have a new appreciation for what we have, especially for the basics of food, water, shelter, health care and well-run government. One leader of a non-profit organization said yesterday that working in Haiti is simply a “humbling experience.” Reconstruction of the country is moving in slow motion. Haiti’s centralized government has hampered efforts of local authorities. Only five per cent of the rubble in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince has been cleared since the earthquake, a troubling statistic illustrating little progress has been made. Haiti was already a nation on the brink of disaster before the earthquake hit. According to Canadian officials, 85 per cent of its citizens lived in abject poverty before the quake. Only one in five had access to clean water. After the earth shook, 30 hospitals were destroyed. Three out of four medical schools were levelled, as was the nation’s largest nursing hospital. Haitians training at these facilities were killed. Add hurricanes, disease and political instability to the mix, and the devastation is worse than most war zones. Meanwhile, many of us Canadians go about our daily lives and find plenty to complain about. Some Haitians lost entire families in the quake and have little to live for. One relief worker is quoted as saying that people can’t stop themselves from crying. “They’re not functioning properly,” she said. One million people are homeless or in camps. Sexual violence is rampant. According to one report, police officers are asking rape victims to pay gas money if they want their cases investigated. Perpetrators are rarely caught, rarely prosecuted. There are stories of progress, but they’re coming at a glacial pace. Yet there are enough glimmers of hope that the Haitian people haven’t given up on their nation. It’s a sombre situation that offers us plenty of reasons to pause and be grateful for what we have in Canada.

he crisis over the harmonized sales tax and subsequent leadership contest have shaken up the BC Liberal Party and produced some serious suggestions for reform. For the post-Gordon Campbell BC Liberals, accountability is an unavoidable theme. Shuswap MLA George Abbott led the way last week with a package of initiatives, including restructuring the way the legislature works. Abbott proposes moving the annual throne speech, where the government sets out its priorities for the year, from the spring to the fall. Hardly an exciting reform, but it leads to a couple of important changes. First, it implies that there will actually be a fall legislative session, something Campbell first instituted and then proceeded to truncate

or cancel most years to avoid opposition questions. Abbott also wants to move the scheduled election date to the fall, as early as 2013 if the opposition will agree. Both parties have noted that May elections disrupt the spring budget process, resulting in delays and uncertainty for voters at the most critical time. Longtime observers will recall the circus that resulted from the ruling party controlling not only election timing but also the legislature schedule. Governments could (and did) table reams of complicated legislation at the end of the spring session to ambush the opposition, which would react with delay tactics that dragged into the night and into the summer. It was a travesty. Campbell deserves credit for imposing a sane schedule on the legislature, although it was easy when his government held all but two seats. He then squandered that progress by retreating from the legislature when faced with his first substantial opposition. Whoever wins the leadership should restore that commitment. Christy Clark has taken up the cause raised by independent MLAs, to restore the proper function of legislative committees. To the average person trying to pay the mortgage, this is also

Just as the BC Liberals got arrogant after nearly a decade in power, the NDP grew dangerously dependent on the anti-Campbell theme. about as exciting as watching a mailbox rust, but it too is important. Campbell tried this once in 2005. Stung by the loss of north coastal seats, he created a committee to hold hearings on fish farming and gave the NDP a majority. But the tradition of partisan warfare dies hard, and the opposition members ended up demanding a ban on open-pen fish farms in five years, whether closed containment is feasible or not. Still, hearings were held in affected communities and a genuine debate ensued. Clark is proposing these touring committees become the norm, and whoever wins should follow through with that as well. Kevin Falcon caused a stir last week with his suggestion for merit pay for teachers. Falcon cites Australia’s program, with bonus payments offered outside union contracts. Here in BC, teachers

load up on post-graduate degrees because they guarantee wage increases. Whether these master’s and PhD qualifications actually improve classroom performance is difficult to say, since the union fights any effort to assess teacher performance. Again, whoever replaces Campbell should proceed with this idea. It’s similar to what the Obama administration in the U.S. has embraced, despite political backlash from its unionized teachers. This week the BC NDP contest starts to take shape, after the entry of three fringe candidates who haven’t done much to address the policy vacuum at the heart of the antiCarole James revolt. Just as the BC Liberals got arrogant after nearly a decade in power, the NDP grew dangerously dependent on the anti-Campbell theme that brought them back to life. If the political upheaval of 2010 results in new leaders for both parties actually committing to serious debate about ideas, it will be worth it.

letters Kevin Falcon is best for premier’s job Editor: Re: “George Abbott for BC premier,” Letters, Jan. 8. At the end of next month, BC Liberals will provide the province its new premier. The obvious choice is the one who has the most experience and represents a younger generation: Kevin Falcon. It’s been interesting to see him grow with his portfolios to become a political leader. He started by being the minister responsible for cutting red tape, which he did with great effect. He helped give Richmond its Canada Line when he was minister of Transportation. He helped

improve BC’s highways so that we could get BC goods to market faster—and keep the province more competitive and keep people working. As minister of Health, he’s been all around the province, working with health authorities to deal with making services more accessible to a growing seniors population. He’s a new dad, a new husband. He cares for job creation, quality of family life, and about the education and health of our children. And he’s respectful of his elders. My vote is with him. John Taggart Richmond

and does not run this way.â&#x20AC;? City spokesperson Cynthia Lockrey said the policy came into effect in 2005. She noted that Richmond staff must use their holiday time, accumulated overtime, or go without pay, to get those days off. Lockrey noted other Metro Vancouver cities do the same. Vancouver, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody city halls were all closed during the same stretch from Dec. 24, 2010 to Jan. 3, 2011. In Burnaby and New Westminster, however, city hall is only closed during for statutory holidays. During the break, Lockrey noted, the bylaws department still operates, community centres remain open, garbage is picked up, streets are cleared if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow, and in the event of an emergency, staff are on call ready to respond. Coun. Bill McNulty said the policy decision was made because of the lack of business coming into city hall during the Christmas season. He said considering the number of people who work at city hall, the savings to taxpayers was significant.

arts & entertainment A photographic journey into the Great Bear Rainforest Artist says it was a ‘real privilege’ to be so close to bears by Rebekah Hammond Contributor Without ever being to the Great Bear Rainforest, one can almost breathe the cool mist and see the wildlife of BC’s Northern Coast move through Daryl Spencer’s photos. A photographic display of 16 blackand-white nature photographs featuring the Vancouver photographer’s experience are now on display at the Richmond City Hall Galleria. “It was kind of a combination of a trip to do a (conservation photography) project and a vacation,” said Spencer who spent 10 days working from a 21-metre sailboat. “There are all kinds of islands and coastlines in there.” Home of the famous Kermode, or “Spirit” bear, and other signature BC animals including grizzly bears, eagles and whales, the Great Bear Rainforest is located north of Bella Coola and south of the Haida Gwaii along the BC coast. With a camera in hand, Spencer explored the islands in 2009 with a group of other photographers involved with conservation.

The Great Bear Rainforest Collection •A new photography exhibition by Daryl Spencer at Richmond City Hall Galleria •On until Feb. 21; can be seen weekdays 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m.; free admission “I got interested (in the Northern Coast of British Columbia) more by luck than anything else,” said Spencer. “I’ve been on a number of trips to the Arctic and Antarctic and Andrew Wright (also on the Arctic trip) asked if I wanted to join him on a trip to the Great Bear Rainforest.” Wright, also a photographer, was overseeing a “visual petition” called Faltering Light to help end trophy hunting, according to Spencer. That’s how Spencer ended up journeying to the 6.4-million hectare stretch of coastal rainforest where he photographed the mystical scenery and wildlife. Spencer remembers one experience he had with a black bear while photographing the white Spirit bears

on Princess Royal Island. “(The black bear) was about ﬁve metres away from me and looking for ﬁsh in the stream,” said Spencer. “As he walked past he turned his head, looked up at me for a moment and then carried on. It was a real privilege to be so close to such an animal in his natural environment and for there to be no apparent tension.” The Great Bear Rainforest represents 25 per cent of “the earth’s remaining ancient coastal temperate rainforests,” according to the Sierra Club of BC. In the past, the area has been threatened by logging and the Sierra Club works to ensure its protection. “I thought that it was a such fantastic area that anything I could do to contribute to its (preservation) would be great,” said Spencer, who is donating proceeds of his print sales to the Sierra Club. One of his favourite images is of a humpback whale’s tail. “We were out on a boat and that’s where I got a picture of a whale’s tail coming up against some beautifully patterned cliffs.”

Ingredients also symbols during Chinese New Year

’ve eaten more Chinese food in the past few months than in the past few years. My guide has taken me everywhere from a Hong-Kong-styled café to a barbecue and hot pot restaurant. More recently, she took me to Café de Waraku, a Japanese-style Spaghetti House. Located at 155-4231 Hazelbridge Way, Café de Waraku (means harmony and happiness) caters to diners who have allergies (especially to MSG), and to those who prefer low sodium, but as fresh as possible. Owner/chef Joseph Fung, a former economics professor, serves comfort food, such as Japanese pan-fried rice and tomato sauce and stir-fried penne with Italian sausage and meatballs. Combos are popular, but what has people coming back again and again are his versions of panna cotta, crème brûlée, and cheesecake. Lavender, Rose, Mango, Chocolate, New York, Black Sesame Tofu, and even Dorian (you’ve probably heard about this “stinky” fruit—which to me tasted like onion pie) Cheesecake. My favourite was the lavender, with its light fragrant essence. I’m going to be trying a few more places in the next few weeks because with Chinese New Year just three weeks away, preparations have already begun. This year the day falls on Feb. 3. According to legend, an ancient Chinese emperor invited all animals to a feast, but only 12 came. He honoured each one—rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and boar—with their own year. The belief is that people born under each of these signs have certain traits typical of the animal. This year is Year of the

Chinese New Year food is all about symbols—for good luck, prosperity, fortune, and health. Foods that are high in sugar and fat celebrate the sweetness and richness of life. A goldcoloured or coin-shaped food represents a prosperous new year. When it comes to the noodles, do not cut these symbols of long life.

‘New Year’s baby’ prepares for biggest skate of her life Bitten by the ice bug after joining Connaught Skating Club, 16-year-old Melissa Kustra now trains with Canadian Olympian Lyndon Johnston by Rebekah Hammond Contributor Melissa Kustra has come a long way since being BC’s 1995 New Year’s baby. Now 16, she’s hoping to skate her way to a win in the upcoming BMO Skate Canada Junior Nationals. Richmond-born Melissa arrived 30 seconds after midnight at Richmond Hospital on Jan. 1, 1995, making her more than just the city’s ﬁrst baby of the year. “It was wonderful. We were all joking that she would be a New Year’s baby,” said Leona Kustra, Melissa’s mother. “Then she was the ﬁrst New Year’s baby in the province.” Melissa will again be representing the province when she skates pairs with partner Paul Schatz in the Canadian Junior Nationals Jan. 17 and 18 in Victoria. “I’m proud of her because she works so hard and enjoys herself while doing it,” Leona said, adding that all of Melissa’s friends and family will be attending the competition. Advertorial

“It’s nice she’s able to compete at the same time the Canadian Junior Nationals are here.” Leona enrolled Melissa in Richmond’s Connaught Skating Club’s CanSkate program when she was six years old and Melissa quickly took to it. “It was kind of cute,” said Leona. “During one lesson they had them carrying toys from one side of the ice to the other, and afterwards Melissa said, ‘Don’t tell daddy I didn’t skate and just played and had fun.’” She’s loved it ever since, said Leona. Melissa started training for competitions when she was eight, after her White Rock coach, Rose Friel, encouraged her to. While Melissa started out skating singles she soon learned pair skating was her passion. “I started pair skating with another boy then decided to do singles again for a year, but I missed pairs and went back to it,” said Melissa during a phone interview from Tampa Bay, Fla., where she’s been training since

June. “I was lucky to find the partner I’m skating with now.” Sometimes difficult to find the perfect partner, Melissa did one tryout with her current partner, Schatz, and found it was a great fit. “Everything that we did was clean,” said Melissa. “The throws, spins and skating elements were really good even for being the first time skating together, and he was very friendly and nice.” The two are now training six hours a day for the Canadian Junior Nationals under Lyndon Johnston, a two-time Canadian Olympian. Melissa is looking forward to skating in front of a hometown crowd on Monday. “This is the highest competition that we can compete at for our level,” said Melissa. “We’re excited and I think we’re ready for it.” Melissa and Schatz are one of 12 pairs that will be competing in Victoria, but their coach Johnston is confident they could make the top half. See Page 20

Paul Schatz and Melissa Kustra will compete as a pair in the BMO Skate Canada Canadian Junior Nationals Jan. 17 and 18 in Victoria.

This creates wished by those who may have spent a sense of artistic community where their lives working hard and providing residents are able to connect with for their families and at that time, didn’t each other. Gabriela reaches out to have time or hadn’t discovered their isolated residents by visiting their genuine interest for art. Art allows seniors the “chance to suites. Residents achieve a great sense of achievement, pride and make a choice”, especially for those peace while working on their pieces, who may not be as mobile as they once all while listening to classical music. were. It encourages residents to talk, “I think it’s important to create a and Gabriela notes that “the loneliness musical background, it’s part of the is an aspect you have to look at”. A project may be about one’s past whole process…a pleasant environment”. Friends and family are life working on a farm, and talking

about one’s history and memories. By working on the piece, conversation branches out to other topics such as how to milk a cow for example, and the program becomes so much more, “reminiscing is as much a part of the program as the art is”. She has worked over ten years with seniors, and has made an impact working with Artistic Beginnings the residents and staff the results, one may not understand the in Courtyard Gardens this past year. “I learn something from them- importance of art programs. Her goal is to show everyone the importance of they tell me funny stories and jokes”. She has felt especially fortunate to having art classes in homes for seniors. The “program doesn’t have to teach work with Life Enrichment Manager Charlene Van Dyk who “has a heart for someone who has an interest or previous the residents” and is “the right person experience in art; it targets everyone, all to make me feel comfortable to develop seniors of all ages”. Part of the success of this program, my own program”. Gabriela has discovered that if one has been to teach and empower staff doesn’t experience the process and see members to lead the program on their own. Wendy, on site Recreation Therapist, has done just that and has taken great pride in her role with the seniors.

Meet The Artist Gabriela Diaconu grew up in a family that stayed together, and this shaped her future goals in incorporating her passion and talent for art with working

with seniors. She reflects that in “some of my dreams, I’m back in my grandmothers’ house…it gives me a good feeling”. Also, by experiencing her own mother’s changing needs at age 85, and as she gained a greater understanding of her patience and compassion for an older person’s need for companionship, she realized the benefits of teaching an art program to benefit seniors’ quality of life. By working with residents, the most rewarding for her is that “you connect with them, you become part of their family somehow” and that she finds residents “wait to see and talk to you”, and that she enjoys different relationships with each resident. “I’m totally enjoying it”. The community has greatly appreciated the seniors’ art shows previously curated by Gabriela. To learn more about Gabriela, and view her art studio: www.artshock.com

The Beneﬁts of Art Program • Promote independence. • Encourage residents to make individual decisions • Make new friends • Inspire, share & socialize • Targets quiet, isolated residents • Creates pride in an activity that gives a sense of purpose • Exhibiting seniors’ artworks in the community

Courtyard Gardens’ Art Show Open House will be held on January 30, 2011 from 2pm-4pm. This event is sure to inspire all those who attend. Come and meet Gabriela, staff and residents, and enjoy the art on display. Everyone welcome. Resident, Bob quietly works on his birdhouse.

Carkner Classic attacts top-10 teams by Don Fennell Sports Editor Two of the top high school girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams in the province will be playing in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bob Carkner Memorial Basketball Classic which tips off Thursday at StevestonLondon. No. 2-ranked Riverside Rapids of Port Coquitlam and No. 10 Elgin Park Orcas of Surrey both passed up the Centennial Top 10, also on this weekend, to play in the local event which honours the former principal who was instrumental in the development of basketball

in Richmond. For two of the Rapidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; grade 11 point guard Natalie Carkner, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granddaughter, and associate coach Mike, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the tournament obviously has additional meaning. So too, for Rapidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Paul Langford who was a good friend of Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It speaks to the (respect for Carkner),â&#x20AC;? said tournament organizer and Steveston-London girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Les Hamaguchi. Four Richmond schools are represented: Steveston-London Sharks and R.A. McMath Wild-

Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opening game against Port Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry Fox Ravens (8:15 p.m. tip-off Thursday) will be the second time the teams have played each other this season. Fox won handily earlier in the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be a big test for us to advance past the ďŹ rst round,â&#x20AC;? Hamaguchi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if things progress to the level Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping (this season) I want us to be a team at the end of the year that can contend. You need to see how you compete against top teams.â&#x20AC;? The Sharks have only played twice since par-

ticipating in a pre-Christmas tournament in Los Angeles. But Hamaguchi is generally happy with their progress. â&#x20AC;˘Steveston-London boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Mike Stoneburgh said if the Sharks (9-2) play like they have most of the season they have a good shot at making the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ nal and perhaps winning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my ďŹ rst year coaching at StevestonLondon, but I understand when the boys made the ďŹ nal two years ago everyone in the school was there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘More at www.richmondreview.com.

Many factors to consider when looking for an exercise facility

hen a person decides to make a commitment to a health-

ier lifestyle, that decision is often accompanied by the decision to join a gym. Gyms can

vary greatly. Some cater to speciﬁc activities, such as kick boxing or martial arts, while others are more general in scope, with

weight training and cardiovascular equipment and access to personal trainers. Regardless of which type of facility an indi-

vidual is hoping to join, certain external factors go a long way to dictating whether or not joining the gym will be a success. When looking for an exercise facility, the following items should be taken into consideration before signing an agreement. •Location: Even the most ardent of gym rats would say it helps a great deal to find a gym that’s conveniently located. If the gym is too far away or getting there requires sitting in heavy traffic, then men and women are much less likely to visit the gym as they would be to visit a gym that’s right down the street or easy to get to. When looking for an exercise facility, find one that’s either close to home or close to the office (preferably both if you work close to home). For those

who work far away from home, the gym’s location should ideally be closer to home to promote working out on weekends when you won’t be anywhere near the ofﬁce. •Fellow Members: Certain gyms might prove intimidating or uncomfortable because of their existing members. While the members themselves might be warm and friendly, those new to working out might be intimidated if everyone else in the building looks like a professional bodybuilder. In addition, women sometimes feel more comfortable working out at an all-female gym. •Cost: The cost of gym membership is arguably the foremost consideration for many people when choosing a gym, especially since

the economy remains largely unpredictable. When looking for an exercise facility, inquire about membership costs as well as any initiation fees you may incur or discounts you may be eligible for. Because of the struggling economy, many gyms have waived or are open to waiving sign-up or initiation costs, which can cost in the hundreds of dollars at some facilities. Also, when discussing cost with a facility employee, ask if there are family discounts or if memberships are reduced if fees are paid all at once instead of every month. For example, a gym might charge $600 annually ($50 per month), but give a 10 per cent discount to any members who pay a year’s worth of dues at sign-up. See Page 23

Best to avoid gyms with outdated equipment From Page 22

When discussing membership costs, keep in mind many gyms are open to negotiation, but prospective members must initiate any such negotiations. â&#x20AC;˘Membership Rights: Many gyms boast different types of memberships. Some memberships are allaccess and allow members to use the weight room, sauna, pool, etc. Other memberships might cost less but not offer as much access. For instance, a basic membership might offer access to the weight room and cardiovascular machines, but not to the pool or sauna. Choosing the right membership depends on the individual. For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swim and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy a post-workout steam, then the basic membership can save money while still meeting all of the desired needs. For those who want all-access,

the more expensive membership might be more up your alley. Whichever membership is the better ďŹ t, be sure the membership agreement lists your rights as a member before signing any paperwork. â&#x20AC;˘Hours of operation: Some people prefer to workout before going to work, while others want to sleep in and exercise after a day at the ofďŹ ce. Individuals

should ďŹ nd a gym that ďŹ ts their schedules and workout preferences. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good to inquire about holiday hours of operation. A good gym wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shut down entirely during a holiday, and instead stay open on at least a limited schedule. â&#x20AC;˘Equipment: Even those new to working out should be able to tell if equipment is up-to-date or

outdated. A gym with outdated equipment is best to avoid, as older equipment could increase risk of injury. A gym with the latest equipment is a gym that likely emphasizes giving its members the best possible environment in which to workout, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for all ďŹ tness enthusiasts, but especially those who are just beginning.

> Richmond Ringette Family Fun Night at Minoru Arenas

Ringette players lift their game at ﬁrst Family Fun Night

Around Town Amanda Oye

he only thing audible at Minoru’s Stadium arena last Saturday evening was the scream of fans and teammates cheering on the 30 young ringette players who were racing around in a skills competition. Over 250 spectators came out to watch the players compete against girls from different teams in speed, skating and shooting relays at Richmond Ringette’s ﬁrst Family Fun Night. Family Fun Night was added as part of the annual West

Coast Classic tournament to bring the players together in “a more social atmosphere,” according to Tannis Tapley, the president of Richmond Ringette. “(It is) a way to bring all of the teams together just for fun,” said Tapley. Following the skills competition, prizes—including two Xbox consoles—were laid out on the ice for a ring toss. Spectators and players threw rings—purchased at the front door—on the ice, and the closest ring to each prize won. The night was “absolutely successful,” Tapley said. They learnt a lot from the event and plan to make it even better for next year. The most important part of the night for Tapley was that the kids had fun, and judging by the noise level, that goal was accomplished.

The Kelowna Dynamite: Kaylee Charland, Myah Wade, Megan Smith, Malaya Galligan, Madeline Middelsteadt and Teagan Milligan.

Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Richmond Review. Reach her at amanda. oye@telus.net. Tannis Tapley, president of Richmond Ringette, and Laura Takasaki, the tournament organizer.

Parent volunteers Christine Boecker and Zabeena Dean sold tickets for pizza and pop during Family Fun Night.

Sarah, Jason and Josh Higo came to check out the event. Sarah is in her ﬁrst year playing Ringette.

Tayah Takasaki and Tianna Martin play for Richmond.
