A proposal for an Olym-pic museum at the Rich-mond Olympic Oval is still in development—nearly six months after city officials pitched the idea to Games officials in Europe.

“We’re working on devel-oping the business case for it so we can take it forward for formal approval,” said Ted Townsend, spokesper-son for the city.

As first reported by The Richmond Review, the Rich-mond Olympic Oval Corpo-ration is proposing to build an Olympic museum inside the oval at an estimated cost of $6 million.

On Monday, city staff up-dated civic politicians on post-Olympic conversion plans at the oval, but the report made no mention of a museum.

It did say staff are still working on the “Richmond Olympic Story,” which di-rector of project develop-ment Greg Scott noted has “(increased) in scope based on Olympic program review and best practices.”

Last summer a delegation of oval and city officials suc-cessfully pitched its idea to International Olympic Com-mittee brass in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Dubbed “The Richmond Olympic Experience at the Richmond Olympic Oval,” it would become the first

museum in the Americas to join the International Olym-pic Committee’s Olympic Museum Network, which centres around the IOC’s Olympic Museum in Lau-sanne.

Early plans call for dis-plays, activities, theatre and museum elements scat-tered throughout the build-ing and oval plaza. Memo-rabilia from the IOC and Richmond’s participation in the 2010 Games would comprise the collection.

The project builds on an existing plan to install a $575,000 permanent exhi-bition at the oval that tells Richmond’s Olympic story.

Townsend earlier told The Review that no new city money would go into the bigger project. Instead, sponsors will finance it by contributing cash and in-kind donations.

The oval corporation board has already given the project preliminary ap-proval, but city council has yet to have a vote.

Leukemia patient Judy Lam in need of transplant; young men encouraged to register


Her family thought it was the fl u, except the symptoms wouldn’t go away. At age nine, Judy Lam was sent for blood tests and the diagnosis was clear: she had leukemia.

“The moment I heard that I had leukemia, I was very scared,” she wrote in an online post. “The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.”

She recuperated, found God and no longer feared for her life. Four years later, leukemia came back, prompting another successful battle against the disease. But in November 2011, leukemia returned to the now 22-year-old’s body and Lam has again found herself fi ghting for her life.

On Saturday, OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network of the Canadian Blood Services will partner with other community groups in Lam’s honour to sign up potential donors to the stem cell network. The Christian Mission of Canada and OtherHalf Chinese Stem Cell Initiative are also behind the drive, which takes place at Ab-erdeen Centre.

Like other sufferers of blood cancers, Lam needs a stem cell transplant. She is unable to fi nd a close match within her family and is desperate to fi nd a donor.

Lam wasn’t able to be interviewed, but in an online video, she offers an appeal in Chinese for potential donors to register at Saturday’s event.

Stem cells are the building blocks of blood. Those who register as potential donors at Satur-day’s event will be given a cheek swab. Genetic information will be processed and entered into a database. Each time a patient is looking for a stem cell match, the database is searched for potential donors.

“If someone is a leukemia patient or has lym-phoma, often times their last chance of hope of beating that illness is a stem cell transplant,” said Olga Pazukha, spokesperson for OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network.

According to organizers, there’s an immediate need for young men ages 17 to 35 to join the stem cell network, particularly those of ethnicities such as Chinese.

Pazukha said OneMatch wants to ensure the database is diverse enough to match the growing ethnic diversity in Canada. She noted building awareness is key in reaching out to ethnic com-munities.

“The diffi culty maybe lies in making sure to con-

nect with the communities in a way that resonates with them,” she said. “It’s making sure that we reach the elders in the community or reach the younger generation in the community...”

Saturday’s event, which is timed to coincide with Chinese New Year celebrations, takes place at Aberdeen Centre mall, 4151 Hazelbridge Way, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

A drive will also be held in Burnaby the same day at the CCM Centre in Burnaby Crystal Mall, 4500 Kingsway, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

People already registered with OneMatch needn’t register again.

Stem cell drive to honour 22-year-old

A stem cell drive in March 2011 at Aberdeen Centre attracted nearly 2,000 potential donors.

Judy Lam, 22, has leukemia and is in need of a lifesaving stem cell transplant.

What are stem cells?•Stem cells are the building blocks of

blood.•Patients who have a disease that inhib-

its their ability to produce these cells will need a transplant of healthy stem cells from a donor.

•There are two stem cells that donors can provide: from bone marrow and from circulating blood. A third stem cell can be harvested from umbilical cord blood after a baby is born.

•By donating stem cells, donors can give a patient a second chance at life.

Construction activity far from record in 2011by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

The City of Richmond issued $424 million in building permits in 2011—nearly half the construction activity of the previous year.

City hall granted developers 1,703 permits worth $424,366,439 last year, according to data compiled by The Richmond Review. That’s a distant amount compared to the record-setting $813 million in 2010.

The months of February and September led the way in 2011, with pricey single-family dwellings boosting building activity.

Major projects granted permits last year include redevelopment projects at Rich-

mond Centre mall and Broadmoor mall, along with a 237,400-square-foot expansion to Aberdeen Centre.

Also among the applications approved last year were apartment and townhouse complexes throughout the city: Polygon’s Mayfair Place in West Cambie, Onni’s Im-perial Landing development in Steveston, Westmark Development Group’s SouthPoint Cove townhouse project at the south end of No. 2 Road, and the Legacy Park Lands Ltd. rental apartment building at Riverport.

Although construction activity last year didn’t come close to last year’s record, it easily beat the figure from 2009.

That year, economic recession gripped

Richmond’s building sector, causing con-struction activity to plunge to $163.2 mil-lion.

For 2012, the outlook is “fairly positive” for the construction sector, according to the Vancouver Regional Construction As-sociation.

Metro Vancouver recorded a job growth rate of 2.6 per cent in 2011 and population growth of 1.5 per cent—both “well above” the provincial average and both good funda-mentals for construction activity, according to the association.

City hall requires building permits for construction, change of use, additions or alterations to structures.

Council Update

By Chak Au

As we are entering into 2012 and the year of the Dragon, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

One of the hot issues in the new year for Richmond is the Vancouver Airport jet fuel pipeline proposal. After the original proposal had been suspended for eight months because of the strong objection encountered, an amended proposal has now been presented by the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation (VAFFC) with the only change being the option of placing the pipeline long the Highway 99 corridor.

However, VAFFC is still planning to ship jet fuel through the Fraser estuary and off-loading it into storage tanks at a marine terminal, which will inevitably impose threats to the environment along the river.

This has not made the amended proposal more acceptable to me than the old one. In addition to the continued threat of a spill on the water, there’s also significant public safety and environmental concerns about a possible fire or spill at the off-loading terminal or along the pipeline route.

Back In September, Richmond City Council passed a resolution to state its opposition to the transportation of jet fuel on any arm of the Fraser River. Council reiterated its opposition to the revised proposal at its meeting on January 16, 2012 and is encouraging members of the public to make their voices heard on this issue.

Since the Environmental Assessment process is now resumed, the timeline for providing public input is absolutely tight. The public has been given just 21 days (ending on February 1) by the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) to make comments on the Highway 99 Route. A separate public information and comment session will be hosted by VAFFC on January 28, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at East Richmond Community Hall.

As this is going to affect us and our future generations, I urge you to take every possible opportunity to voice your opinion. It is important that you individually make your input to the Environmental Assessment Office as this may have more weight than a petition or group submission. You can find out how to provide input by visiting www.eao.gov.bc.ca/ or www.vancouverairportfuel.ca/. You can also find information on the proposal on the City’s website at www.richmond.ca.

Any submission from the public to the City will be forwarded to the EAO office.

City wants to talk jet fuel with port

The dangers of barging jet fuel up the Fraser River and offl oading it in an ecologi-cally sensitive estuary has prompted civic politicians to demand a meeting with Port Metro Vancouver.

On Monday city council decided to send a letter to port offi cials, noting despite a change in the proposed pipeline route, potential for catastrophe on the Fraser hasn’t changed.

The Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corpora-tion is proposing to build a pipeline connecting a dock near SilverCity River-port Cinemas to the airport. Jet fuel would be barged up the South Arm to feed the pipeline, which would replace an aging pipeline in North Richmond and the airport’s reliance on tanker trucks.

The B.C. Environmental Assessment Offi ce is cur-rently reviewing the pro-posal. A decision by provin-cial ministers is expected by June.

A public open house on the proposal takes place Saturday, Jan. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at East Richmond Community Hall, 12360 Cambie Rd.

Richmond’s Highway to Heaven is about to go under the microscope.

Over 20 years after the city drafted it, the No. 5 Road backlands policy is soon expected to be subject of a

comprehensive review by a city-hall led committee.

City staff made the recommendation to a council committee yesterday.

The policy, first created in 1990, allows institutions to locate on the east side of No. 5 Road—normally protected from development by the

Agricultural Land Reserve—provided farming takes place on the eastern side of the property.

A proposal to redevelop Lingyen Mountain Temple, at 10060 No. 5 Rd., is one of the reasons behind the re-view, according to city staff.

One year ago, temple officials with-

drew their application after a request from city staff, who decided a review of the policy was necessary.

Nearby property owners, neigh-bourhood groups and agricultural groups would be consulted during the review, according to a staff re-port.

Parents usually rely on report cards to tell them about how their child is doing academically. But the truth is that report cards often confi rm what parents already know about their child’s progress at school. If a child is struggling at school, there are many tell-tale signs at home that are hard to ignore. Incomplete school assignments, homework troubles, poor test and quiz marks, and a general lack of interest in school are all signs that your child may need help. Often, however, it isn’t until the report card comes home that parents decide to take action.

With the absence of report cards this year, parents need to be extra-vigilant about staying on top of their child’s progress. If parents feel their child is not working at his or her potential, then

getting an assessment for their child outside of school will help them get a clear view of their child’s skill levels in a range of areas. Parents can then decide what the next course of action will be.

Oxford Learning begins all of their programs with a comprehensive assessment that will pinpoint both strengths and problem areas. The programs at Oxford Learning go beyond tutoring to help students reach their learning potential, not just for one grade or one year, but for a lifetime.

Parents can contact Oxford Learning Centre at 604-233-5566 for more information. They can also visit their offi ce at 200 – 7380 Westminster Hwy. (near Minoru) or their website at www.oxfordlearning.com

RICHMOND SCHOOL DISTRICT #382012/13 SCHOOL TRANSFERS & REGISTRATIONSWhen and where should I register my child?

If you are new to the district, you must register at your English catchment school. This can be done starting on Monday, January 16th, 2012. Parents / legal guardians must personally register their children at their catchment school by presenting the following documentation: proof of Richmond residency – (one of the following legal documents: mortgage document, rental or lease agreement, property sale agreement or property tax notice), the student’s original birth certi cate, proof of Canadian citizenship or Landed/Permanent Resident status for the parent/legal guardian and child and immunization records. If registered by June 15th, the student will be guaranteed a space in their English catchment school for the 2012/13 school year. If registered after that date, the student will be placed at a nearby school by the school district if space and resources are not available in the student’s catchment school. The deadline for new French Immersion, Late French Immersion and Montessori applications is February 3rd, 2012. Access to these programs will be through a district-wide draw process, with sibling priority.

What should I do if I want my child to transfer to a non-catchment school?

The parent/legal guardian of a student who wishes to transfer to a non-catchment school must rst register at the catchment school on or after Monday, January 16, 2012 and after doing so, may obtain a Transfer Application Form from the catchment school and then submit it to the requested school. Students currently attending a Richmond public school, do not need to re-register. Commencing Monday, January 23rd, 2012 at 8:00 a.m., transfer applications for students wishing to attend a non-catchment school will be received at the requested school. The parent / legal guardian of a student who wishes to transfer to a non-catchment school should obtain a Transfer Application Form for Richmond Residents [RSB SA 23] from their catchment school, have it initialed by the catchment school and then submit it to the requested school no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 1st, 2012.

Payroll taxes take bigger bite

The first paycheques of 2012 are looking lighter to many employees, thanks to rising payroll taxes imposed by Ot-tawa and Victoria.

A family with children will now pay $128 in monthly premiums to the Medical Services Plan, an increase of $7 a month or $84 a year.

Employment Insur-ance and Canada Pen-sion Plan premiums are also going up by $306, with the employee cov-ering $142 of that.

Many families can also expect to pay more be-cause of rate increas-es from BC Hydro and ICBC.

It’s time fairness returns to the provincial govern-ment. Collective bargain-

ing is the process by which wages, terms of employment for all members of a bar-gaining unit are negotiated between the union and an employer.

In the case of the B.C. govern-ment versus the B.C. Teachers Federation, it appears no real bargaining or negotiating is taking place.

Education Minister George Ab-bott admitted government has ut-tered the term “net zero” mandate “probably a thousand times” in the last year. How is that bargain-ing in good faith?

Government says it’s not just teachers that are subject to this totalitarian mandate, but all public servants.

This, against the backdrop of ne-gotiations between unionized city workers and local governments like Richmond, where workers have been without a contract since the end of 2011. Municipal workers are seeking deals similar to other CUPE contacts, such as Cour-tenay’s, where a four-year deal granted workers with wage hikes of 2, 2, 2.75 and 2.25 per cent.

During the last round of negotia-tions, municipal workers in Rich-mond achieved a wage increase of 17.5 per cent over fi ve years.

Not bad when the following year, the world plunged into recession,

which caused many elsewhere to lose their jobs.

That said, giving in to the teach-ers’ wage demands that amount to 16 per cent over three years (according to Abbott) is not only unlikely, it’s irresponsible given the economy’s relative fragile state.

But suggesting there is no room to move—and no chance for negotiations—is sending the

wrong message to the public and those responsible for much of our children’s learning.

Government rhetoric is sug-gesting to all of us that its mind is made up on such matters and nothing—collective bargaining be damned—can change its mind. As BCTF president Susan Lambert said, “The net-zero mandate will not fi nd a deal.”

Settling public sector contracts

is never easy, particularly those with teachers, who are now used to being legislated back to work when taking strike action. But a bullheaded government won’t lead to a solution.

In the centre of this dispute is our children. What sort of lesson are they learning here? One can hope by the end of this, they’ll learn about negotiating, consen-sus and good faith.

Published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd.

For 2012, I really wanted to get back into run-

ning. But running on your own is a bit of a heavy slog and there are so many excuses to get out of training.

Luckily, I found a trainer, probably one of the strict-est I’ve ever had, who has me out of bed at 6:30 a.m. three times a week.

She doesn’t care what

the weather is outside. In fact, we’ve been run-ning through the snow, in the dark. I’m sure if it’s pouring outside, she’ll still have me out. Unfortu-nately, she’s not available to work for anyone else. She’s only nine.

Yes, my trainer is my eldest daughter. With her stopwatch in hand, she’s taken over our run-walk schedule with fervour.

I wasn’t expecting her to be so enthusiastic. I was just looking for an activity that the two of us could do together. It’s funny how, when she was small and I was a stay-at-home parent, I was so happy to drop her off at a program so that I could get one or two hours to myself.

Now that she’s in school full-time and often at a friend’s house or playing in the park, I really just wanted to spend some time with her. I scanned

the leisure guide and called around to the com-munity centres to see if she could join me in a Sun Run clinic. She was too young to register.

So, we decided to do our own clinic. I have run the Sun Run half a dozen times and found the schedule published by SportMed BC a great way to ease back into running. It’s slow enough for a nine-year-old to ask, “When do we really start running?”

I know some cars have slowed down as they’ve passed the two of us in the dark streets. They must be thinking, “Poor kid, being dragged out in the freezing morning.”

I should state that it’s my daughter who wakes me up and drags me out of bed.

It was her idea to run early in the morning. We were trying to schedule the runs after school but

with my work schedule and her fl oor hockey, it just wasn’t working out. So, she suggested early mornings.

The great thing about running and walking to-gether is that we have time for conversation without too much distraction. I hear about her friends at school and we catch up on the school gossip.

I only wish my six-year-old and I could do a similar activity together. She’s not a runner. She’s more of a ballerina/dancer. I can see us doing yoga together but after checking the leisure guide, and calling around different yoga studios in Richmond, I don’t see any family or mother/child yoga.

Is there not a demand for these types of activities for parents to do with their kids? Did I miss the boat? Was it popular a few years ago and no longer around?

I hope not. I’ll continue to look but if a reader knows of a yoga studio close by that will take children, I’d love to hear about it. In the meantime, you’re welcome to join us any Sunday morning for our run.

Editor:Almost all of us in the

Greater Vancouver region use YVR and have created the need for more jet fuel. Richmond city council and the VAPOR lobby group have opposed the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation (VAFFC) plan to send huge tankers up the south arm of the Fraser River to a new jet fuel storage facility, describing in detail the risks to both the marine environment and nearby residents.

That’s only half of what’s required. We also need to promote an alter-native plan. Otherwise, it comes across as saying it’s someone else’s prob-lem and you only care that the solution doesn’t involve your backyard.

VAPOR acknowledges the need for more jet fuel and favours a new pipeline to YVR from the BP Cherry Point Refi n-ery near Blaine, Wash. The city is opposed to that and said in a Oct.

13, letter, “Possibly, one solution may be to reduce future demand by conservation measures or increased effi ciency through technological ad-vancement. This, coupled with upgrading the existing pipeline (from the Chevron Refi nery in Burnaby to YVR), should meet the jet fuel needs of YVR for decades to come.”

VAFFC’s reply to the city explained that conserva-tion and technological improvements have been factored into its fuel need forecasts. It also supplied details of its opposition to both solutions sug-gested by the city and VAPOR. The city has not responded.

The fact is that there is no happy solution that has no serious draw-backs, but both of these solutions are better than VAFFC’s preferred option of tankers on the Fraser. The city and VAPOR should take on the very important task of publicly

explaining why. For example, VAFFC’s

“critical” objections to an upgrade of the existing pipeline are that getting the required permits will take too much time and the pre-construction and construction capital costs are too high, partly due to the fact that the pipeline passes through residen-tial areas.

However, it may be time and money well spent. The most secure possible source of jet fuel for YVR is the Burnaby refi nery. It’s the only refi nery in B.C. and is fortunately close to YVR. The existing pipeline also carries addi-tional jet fuel brought by ship to Burnaby from the BP Cherry Point Refi nery. While no one is keen on shipping jet fuel through residential areas, that will continue to happen with the existing 40-year old pipeline—far better to upgrade it now with all the modern safety features and increased capacity.

Richmond council meets Monday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. to discuss the matter. I hope it can come up with an improved resolution that recognizes the problem, engages the Greater Vancouver region, and counters the VAFFC posi-tion by giving concrete reasons for a more detailed investigation of the Burnaby pipeline upgrade option.

Q: My son was hit in the eye while playing sports. What should I do?

A: Check for pain in or around the eye, swelling, tenderness, double vision or vision loss. Advise your child not to blow his nose.

Additionally, the orbital bones surrounding the eye may have fractured; while these bones serve an important protective function, they are delicate in certain places and can break with forceful impact. Although most fractures resolve without treatment, sometimes damage can entrap eye muscles or place pressure on the facial sensory nerve. In these cases, eye movement can become restricted or numbness of the face and cheek can occur. Such cases require surgical repair.

Other possible consequences of blunt trauma to the eye include internal bleeding, inflammation and corneal injuries. Less common and more serious diseases associated with trauma include secondary glaucoma, retinal detachment, cataract, orbital infection and optic nerve damage.

It is important to seek proper medical care for your child following blunt trauma to the eye. Ensure that he wears protective eyewear in situations where the likelihood of eye injury is elevated.

Q: HEARING AND NOISE?

A: We live in a very noisy environment, constantly bombarded by sound and not all of it pleasant or of our own choosing.

We don’t all have the same amount of tolerance for noise either. Some of us are super sensitive while others not nearly so much.

Constant high levels of noise can cause damage to the delicate Hair Cells inside the COCHLEA or hearing organ which pick up the vibrations (sounds waves).

Over time this damage can become permanent as the hair cells do not regenerate. This damage usually makes listening to conversations much more diffi cult especially in the presence of background noise.

Most work places are required to limit the loudness levels and exposure time to loud noise. Many noisy work places require employees to wear sound reducers or noise blockers. If this is the case in your work place, make sure you heed the warnings and comply. Remember these hair cells do not grow back nor can they be replaced.

Awareness of sounds around us on a regular basis helps us know when it is important to protect this very vital sense called HEARING!

Q: Water and sewer rates in Richmond seem to increase every year. Did they go up again this year? How can I pay less?

A: Yes they have! The flat rate in 2012 for water is $621.51 and the sewer rate is $400.25 for the year. That’s a total of $1021.76, which is over 7% more than they were in 2011 ($953.43). Water rates are scheduled to keep increasing each year by this amount or more.It makes sense now more than ever to request a water meter so that you can be in control of your water bill by regulating the water you use. Richmond residents are literally saving hundreds of dollars by using water meters and choosing not to waste water.2012 is the final year for the free water meter program in Richmond. Currently the City is offering to supply and install water meters for free to all Richmond residents in single family homes, as well as install free water saving devices for taps, showers and toilets to help residents save even more.Over 63% of Richmond houses are using water meters and they pay a lower metered rate. It makes sense to look into this program while it’s still available for free and take advantage of the cost savings. Both flat rate and metered rate bills are discounted 10% for paying your utility bill before the deadline.

Q: I see advertisements in the paper for companies buying coins and gold. They seem to be located in hotels. Do they really pay those prices in the ads? How do your prices compare to theirs?

A: I have seen those advertisements as well and have been less than impressed. The high prices listed are what the rarest date in the highest known condition fetched in auction. That is not what they are paying. We had a reporter bring two ladies who were at one of those “road shows” to us for a comparison offer. They had both coins and gold jewelry. Our offer was three hundred percent more than what the road show was offering! We have had many other people come in to sell us their coins after being offered very low valuations at these “hotel” shops.

It does not matter which coin shop you go to in the Lower Mainland… you will likely get better offers than what these companies buying from shows at the hotels will offer you.

I like to believe that our store is the most fair and definitely the friendliest for people who want to sell.

Q: Why has my tooth started to hurt sometimes when I bite?

A: This is one of the most common problems I see with people’s otherwise healthy teeth. It almost always involves a molar tooth and with rare exceptions the problem tooth has had a large filling in it for a long time with no previous problem. These usually involve those ol’ style metal fillings and is called ‘cracked tooth syndrome.’ What has happened is one of the cusps, or sometimes one whole side of a tooth develop an internal crack or fracture under that portion of the remaining tooth.

Those old metal fillings which repaired a cavity are usually what cause the problem after enough time (years). If you think about a molar tooth with a large hole drilled into its surface you would expect it to be a bit weaker than a perfectly healthy tooth. This is especially true if you create a large load on it like when you are biting, chewing or clenching. The filling only fills the hole. The bigger the hole, the bigger the filling and the more compromised the structural integrity of the remaining tooth. The filling can also act like a wedge in the tooth. Over time small internal stress-fractures occur in the tooth under the cusps around the filling. Like your car’s windshield they start small but expand.

One day if you happen to bite something at just the right angle and with just enough force the crack expands and stimulates the nerve inside the tooth and it hurts. Sometimes a corner piece of the tooth pops off right away. More often it just bugs you at certain times when you bite that particular spot. At a certain point changes in hot and cold will trigger it too because temperature changes also make the fracture expand and contract. Unfortunately, most of those large fillings can eventually do this to you although it may take years before it happens.

The only reliable solution is to remove all the old filling, knock off any parts ready to pop off, rebuild the tooth and covering it with a crown/cap/lid (whatever you want to call it) so you can’t flex the crack anymore when you bite on it.

Q: I have very dry skin and the products I use are not helping. What can I do?

A: Currently, there are many skin care products on the market that supposedly help with dry skin and it can be very difficult to decipher them all. In the pharmacy, I find a lot of people have severe sensitivities that further reduce the number of products they can use. Luckily, there is now a hypoallergenic product called Linacare.Linacare is a skin cream first developed by a nephrologist for kidney dialysis patients to help with dry skin. Unfortunately, these patients suffered from many sensitivities and the products previously on the market did not help. This is because transporting water into the basal layer of the skin is very difficult to do. Linacare is unique because it is able to penetrate this basal layer and promote the skin to undergo its own reparative process. Currently, Linacare is being used to treat a range of conditions, including dry or sensitive skin, eczema, burns, and some side effects of cancer therapy. It is usually applied twice a day to help remoisturize the skin.Ask your pharmacist about Linacare or visit Pharmasave at Steveston Village to discover the newest in skin cream innovations!

Wow, did I say that?

Many home-owners are doing it, and using that money for other things like buying an investment property or…..do you need

money for RRSP’s? or to pay your taxes? Or for home renovations?

Let’s get you in touch with a fi nancial advisor or broker today to discuss your options, and get your 2012 started with less stress in your life. I look forward to your call, and to seeing that big

smile on your face.

Q: Anything new in cyber-legislation pending?

A: Yes, and it is all rather disturbing. The Harper Conservatives will shortly be introducing the Lawful Access Bill that will negatively impact personal Internet and cell phone privacy with warrantless surveillance. This will also force increased costs on telecommunications providers in Canada for which we will all have to pay for. Aside from the blatantly un-Canadian nature of this legislation, such laws will only catch low hanging criminal fruit as even the most sophisticated monitoring can be bypassed with simple encryption tools. Just ask the Chinese how they get around China’s similar monitoring systems. The real crooks will remain undetected and tax payers will still have to foot the bill.

I’ve signed the petition against this Bill and will be actively opposing it where I can. More information can be viewed at stopspying.ca

Q: Will snow cause heating problems to our home?

A: This week brings another opportunity to experience the joys of winter. Heavy snow can create problems with heating equipment. Here are a few tips to keep your home in good shape for the rest of the heating season. Check your thermostat for proper operation. If you use a programmable thermostat, check the batteries to make sure they’re still in good working order. Don’t set the thermostat below 62°F. Your heating system will need to work much harder to bring your home back up to a comfortable temperature, and you run the risk of freezing pipes in areas of your home that are not well-heated or insulated.

For gas furnaces, change the air filter monthly to ensure adequate airflow and to reduce the amount of dust and debris that circulates in the home. For high-efficiency furnaces that vent directly to the outside, keep the fresh air intake and exhaust ports clear of snow, debris and ice. Improper ventilation of a high-efficiency furnace is dangerous and may also cause the furnace to shut down or operate inefficiently.

Q: Can Chiropractic help with pregnancy?

A: If you are an expectant mother, this is a critical time to get your spine and nervous system checked by a chiropractor. Pregnancy and the birth of a child is a natural process and chiropractic care is a drug-free natural healing art that can support this amazing process. Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth.

How it can help the mother:• Prepares the pelvis for pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in the pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments.

• Removes tension on the ligaments that support the uterus thus reducing torsion (intrauterine constraint) to the woman’s uterus.

• Reduces interference to the mother’s vital nerve system which controls and co-ordinates all of her systems and functions.

How this helps the infant:• Removes interference to the mother’s nerve system allowing for better baby development

• Allows the baby the room to develop without restrictions to its forming cranium, spine and other skeletal structures.

• Offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth.• With proper fetal positioning, there may be a decrease in intrauterine constraint and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.

Chiropractors use very specific, low-force adjusting techniques to remove spinal imbalances in the body. The adjusting techniques are modified for the pregnant women and also for children to make it more suitable for the situation. Every pregnant woman can benefit from a spinal assessment. It’s natural, drug-free health care. Call Minoru Chiropractic to book your consultation.

A new tax-smart way to save ~ Part 1.The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)

With the TFSA, you can contribute up to $5,000 a year, earn tax-free investment income and even make withdrawals without paying tax. It is an ideal complement to your existing Registered Retirement Saving Plan (RRSP) or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) – offering you an additional tax-smart savings strategy.

Within your RRSP or RRIF, your investment earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis, which means you don’t pay tax on the earnings until you eventually withdraw them – typically resulting in faster growth. But with the TFSA, your investment earnings grow on a tax-free basis, which means you never pay tax on them – not even at the time of withdrawal. This tax-free growth enables your savings to grow much faster than they otherwise would.

A flexible savings toolThe TFSA is an extremely flexible savings account that can meet a wide range of

needs. It can help you: Save for short-term goals like financing home renovations or long-term goals like

retirement. Build additional tax-advantaged retirement savings above and beyond your

RRSP. Earn tax-free income on surplus RRIF payments that you don’t currently need. Boost a family member’s education savings beyond their Registered Education

Savings Plan (RESP). Reduce your family’s overall taxes when you give investable assets exposed to your

higher tax rate to your spouse or adult children to contribute to their own TFSAs. Shelter fully taxable interest income that you are

currently earning in a taxable account. Create a contingency fund for emergencies or time-

sensitive opportunities.

Q: I have a 10 year daughter that plays soccer and I want to improve her strength and endurance. What is an appropriate age to start a fitness program? Are there any dangers we should be aware of?

A: With the increase of inactivity and obesity among youth, it is even more important that children build healthy habits such as regular exercise that will be their foundation for the rest of their lives. A formal exercise program that teaches fundamental movement patterns like squats, lunges, pushups, situps, balance, agility, and endurance is perfectly suitable for children as young as 8-9 years old. Using their bodyweight as the primary form of resistance will ensure the program is both a safe and effective method for developing motor skills, coordination, and athleticism. Lastly, studies have shown that children who lead healthier lifestyles perform better academically than those with less healthy lifestyles. For more info about kid’s fi tness programs I can be reached at [email protected].

Editor:I'm going to miss you Wind Waves.

You have been a whimsical, graceful beacon of colourful cheer. Especially on cold grey days with rain and snow all around.

From a distance it seems as if playful extraterrestrials have come to visit. Compelling adults, teens, seniors and children to photograph you, touch you and sometimes climb within you.

I wonder what would happen, if a

survey was done today, as to whether we should keep you at Garry Point? Now, after so many of us have had the chance to enjoy your elegant shapes and fl owing lines, whispering, “We are all connected.” My eyes and mind appreciate the symbolism in your sparkling globe.

I am one person who will be so very sad when we lose you, Wind Waves.

Are smart meters getting smarter?Editor:

Has anyone taken notice the recent rash of power interruptions in the Lower Mainland?

Besides the two major power interruptions Richmond has recently endured, multiple power losses have been reported in numerous areas of the Lower Mainland.

Of interest is that all these areas have also had their smart meters installed. Now, I’m not suggesting anything nefarious is going on, but could it be possible these “smart” meters are perhaps becom-ing self-aware? Could they be probing our weaknesses in an effort to take over? Are we heading down the road to a “Skynet” experi-ence in The Terminator when the machines are running our lives? Just wondering?

will have to be on board with the smart meter program.

Excuse me? Who appointed BC Hydro as any kind of rightful “au-thority” over British Columbians?

And before the Liberals ram through supporting legislation, they’d best remember Gordon Cambell’s ignoble eviction—you work for the people/electorate, not a corporation!

Mazda follows its one green roadby Jim RobinsonSpecial to Black Press

You’re going to be hearing a lot more about Skyactiv Technology.

It’s the direction Mazda is taking to make all its vehicles more energy and emission effi cient into the next decade.

Rather than venture into the costly world of electric cars and hybrids, Mazda has chosen the parsimoni-ous path of taking improved gasoline and diesel engines along with weight savings to make their cars and trucks relevant in an automotive world that gets greener every day.

To get there Mazda has focused on four major areas:

• New generation Skyactiv-G gasoline engine ef-fi ciency that delivers a 15 per cent increase in fuel economy and torque.

• The introduction of new Skyactiv-D diesel engine technology that delivers a 20 per cent fuel economy improvement thanks to the world’s lowest diesel-engine compression ratio.

• The introduction of new six-speed automatic transmission available on both gasoline and diesel as well as a new lightweight compact six-speed manual transmission which deliver fuel economy and there-fore emission improvements.

• An all-new platform providing highly rigid body and chassis that achieves outstanding crash safety performance while being 110 kg lighter than its pre-decessor.

My fi rst real world experience was with the 2012 Mazda3 with the Skyactiv-G engine in the GS model. The GS-Sky is the middle trim level between the base GX and topline GT. As the name suggests, both the GS-Sky sedan and fi ve-door come with the Skyactiv engine with either the six-speed manual standard or the six-speed automatic optional at $1,200.

The Mazda3 GS-Sky can be considered a “half”

Skyactiv because it has the Skyactiv-G engine and transmissions but it uses the standard Mazda3 chas-sis and body. Nonetheless, the 2.0-litre in the Mazda3 GS-Sky runs at 12:1, the same as a Ferrari Italia. The GS-Sky uses regular gasoline not premium.

As tested the Skyactiv-G engine produces 155 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque versus the 148 hp and 135 lb/ft of torque for the “normal” 2.0-litre in the GX.

For comparison, the 2.5-litre, four-cylinder in the GT makes 167 hp and 168 lb/ft of torque.

Other than the engine and transmission, the GS-Sky differs in no other way from the other Mazda3 mod-els. Like all Mazda products, it is a driver’s car and very agile and that includes the Skyactiv version.

Depending on trim levels, pricing ranges from $18,995-$22,390 not counting a $1,595 shipping fee.

When it comes to going green, Mazda is truly marching to a truly different drummer with Skyactiv.

But just remember, this is the company that made the rotary engine work when industry giants like GM could not.

The 2012 MaZda3 GS-Sky compact sedan and hatch-back (shown) is the fi rst Mazda vehicle to be fi tted with this all-new Skyactiv technology.

by Rob BeintemaSpecial to Black Press

The 2012 Frontier has come a long way from its diminutive Datsun pickup beginnings.

Nissan boasts that the Frontier is “a no-compromise pickup forged with premium hardware, extraordinary power and off-road athleticism, a leader in the mid-size truck segment with best-in-segment horsepower torque, towing and payload specifi cations.”

The compact pickup segment seems to have reached a kind of critical mass. Manufacturers sim-ply can’t resist the urge to make successive models bigger and better, so the cheap little pickups of the past have morphed into mid-size monsters with almost the same abilities and amenities as their full-size siblings.

It’s hard to compete against the breadth of domestic pickups, but the Frontier gives it a game try with a lineup that offers a selection of King Cab and Crew Cab models, two powertrain choices,

automatic or manual transmissions, normal or long box cargo beds, special offroad packages and a variety of trim levels.

Although the basic “trucky” style of the Frontier has remained fi xed over the last decade or so, the constant evolution of content includes recent tweaks like last year’s addition of Vehicle Dynamic Control standard on all V6 models, and Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist made standard on all V6 A/T 4x4 models.

For 2012, Nissan has added a new Sport Appear-ance Package on King Cab and Crew Cab SV mod-els and Two-Wheel Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) are now standard on four-cylinder engine equipped models.

Nissan does not offer a regular cab pickup with-out rear seating, so the Frontier lineup starts with a King Cab S model, an extended cab version with suicide doors and fl ip-down rear seating.

See Page 14

auto reviewNissan Frontier 2012 still the no-compromise pickup

Nissan FrontierFrom Page 13

The King Cab S harnesses a 152 hp 2.5-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine mated to a fi ve-speed manual transmission in 4X2 confi guration. Fuel economy is rated at 10.7/8.7L/100km (city/hwy).

This entry-level comes pretty well-equipped with four-wheel disc ABS braking with EBD, a long bed with locking tailgate and cargo bed light, dual heated mirrors, air conditioning, power door locks, power windows, remote keyless entry, cruise control, twin DC power outlets a fold-fl at front passenger seat for indoor cargo and a four-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system. Priced at $24,478, this starter pickup is an obvious choice for the single commuter or construction worker looking for pickup utility and/or attitude.

All other Frontier models above this standard entry – SV, SL and the offroad-oriented PRO-4X version – come in varying degrees of sophistication and content, with my as-tested Frontier Crew Cab SL 4X4 sitting fi rmly at the fully-loaded opposite

end of the content spectrum.Like all the other trim levels, except for the base

model, the SL harnesses Nissan’s 4.0-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 engine making a prodigious 261 hp at 5600 rpm with a peak torque of 281 lb/ft.

For 2012, in a shrinking compact truck market niche, the Frontier offers a lineup of capable trucks with a wide variety of trim choices for Canadian truck lovers, a lineup culminating in this 2012 Nis-san Frontier Crew Cab SL 4X4.

Exploring corporate co-option, ‘Pink Ribbons Inc.’ to screen at city hall


A documentary about the industry that surrounds breast cancer and the rise of corporate involvement in charitable fund-raising will screen at Richmond City Hall early next month.

Léa Pool’s Pink Ribbons, Inc., based on a book from Samantha King, also explores how the corporate co-option of breast cancer has impacted research

on the disease.The screening, announced this week, is

part of the DOXA Documentary Film Festi-val Motion Pictures Film Series.

Pool’s fi lm depicts the multi-billion dol-lar business of breast cancer and how it has reaped fi nancial rewards for corpora-tions, ranging from the National Football League to Yoplait.

One in eight women are now diagnosed with breast cancer, a rise from one in 22 since 1940, according to Pool’s fi lm.

Pool isn’t calling for a stop to campaigns around breast cancer, but is suggesting more questions be asked about the dis-ease, such as environmental causes.

“Nobody’s asking what are the causes of breast cancer. This is so strange to me,” she said in a recent interview with the

National Film Board. “How can you cure something you don’t know the cause of?”

Pink Ribbons Inc. also demonstrates how breast cancer is used as a public relations tool to defl ect criticism from companies whose products have come under fi re.

The fi lm posits that despite massive fundraising events such as turning Niag-ara Falls or the Skyline of New York pink, little has been done to stem the mount-ing death toll caused by the disease.

A panel discussion will follow the screening, with experts addressing is-sues examined in the fi lm.

The screening takes place Friday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. in council chambers.

Tickets, $10, at doxafestival.ca or 604-646-3200.

Alice Wong and Kerry-Lynne Findlay meet with chambersFrom Page 19

And business owners told them they want to see more work done on recognizing for-eign credentials, for govern-ment to address a shortage in skilled workers, and for government to do more to address violent crime involv-ing businesses.

“There’s a concern on the impact of crime on business,”

Findlay said following Mon-day morning’s meeting at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

Alice Wong, who is Wong, minister of state for seniors, said she spoke to seniors who expressed concerns about the Old Age Pension and healthcare.

Some businesses men-tioned concerns about main-

taining or increasing funding for research and develop-ment.

“There’s a concern on the impact of crime on business.”- Kerry-Lynne Findlay

This great little 1,110sq.ft. 2 bedroom and den home offers a number of improvements both inside and out, including the kitchen and roof. The original fi r fl oors add to the charm and character too. If it’s entertaining you enjoy, or just need extra room for the kids or dog to roam, the big landscaped yard with the big sundeck are perfect. All of this is located in likely the best location in the Metro area. Easy access to transit and Canada Line as well as a skip over the bridge into Vancouver or the freeways to the south. Richmond’s best kept secret. Come home to Burkeville today.

War Amps address labels are being mailed to residents of B.C., starting Janu-ary 17. Owen Greaves, 9, of Richmond, a left-hand amputee, is a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, one of the programs made possible through the public’s support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service. Owen is holding some samples of the types of labels which are available.Public support of The War Amps Key Tag Service allows child amputees across Canada to continue to grow up with CHAMP. Key tags protect any keys, not just car keys. Since 1946, The War Amps has returned more than one million sets of keys, and the service is more vital than ever, with the extremely high replace-ment cost of keys and remote devices. Each key tag has a confi dentially coded number. Should the keys be lost, the fi nder need only call the toll-free number on the back of the tag, or deposit them in any mailbox, and the keys will be returned to the owner by bonded courier. The War Amps receives no government grants. For more information, or to order key tags, call toll-free 1 800 250-3030 or visit waramps.ca.

True North figures to do better than most nations, says fortune teller

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Fortune teller Sherman Tai said 2012 figures to be an unstable year, as it’s the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac, and specifi-

cally the water dragon.While the year will see major storms, natural disasters and

unstable temperatures, Tai predicts B.C. will very lucky, with relatively little snow here.

He sees the Canadian dollar remaining steady at about 95 or 96 cents compared to the U.S. greenback, and an economically stable fi rst half to 2012.

The third quarter of 2012 will see an improvement in con-sumer confi dence and more economic recovery.

Asia will perform better than any other place in the world.On the bad news front, 2012 won’t be a good one for

American president Barack Obama, who Tai said will lose the election on Nov. 6.

And a serious infectious disease will hit Asia and the southern part of the world, though not as severe as SARS but more akin to the avian fl u.

“This year, everyone needs to be careful especially when eating and drinking,” he said.

The U.S. economy won’t improve signifi cantly, Tai said, and as a result that will dampen and slow the recover in neigh-bouring Canada.

“But Canada will be good compared to other nations,” he said.

The Dragon is the sole mythical creature in the Chinese zo-diac, and its origins date back to stories that are hundreds of years old.

Farmers blamed severe weather conditions, ranging from fl ooding to drought, on the mythical fi re-breathing monster.

To curry favour from it, the dragon was adopted as a guardian angel symbol, and farmers hoped for a good har-vest and fruitful results.

While 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, the most powerful of the 12 Chinese zodiac symbols, there are a total of fi ve types of dragons: water, wood, fi re, earth and metal.

This is the year of the water dragon, and those born this year are considered to be powerful and energetic.

The water dragon is sentimental and passionate but emotionally unstable, the metal dragon is strict, the earth

dragon is stubborn, conservative but considerate. The wood dragon is more intelligent, but overly careful and has dif-fi culty making decisions. The fi re dragon has a bad temper, but has lots of energy and is very powerful.

Martin van den Hemel photoSherman Tai believes Canada will do better on the economic front than most nations, and that B.C. will be very lucky on the weather front.

Martin van den Hemel photoAward-winning chef Tony Luk from The Jade Seafood Restaurant on Alexandra Road has created a special menu fi lled with promise, including Sauteed Prawns with Luk’s special Yunnan Morel Mush-room Sauce, and his vegetarian dish Assorted Mushroom Wrapped in Bean Curd with Fat Choy.

Entering the Year of the DragonChinese New Year

Chef keeps healthy options in mind


Good times are made better when amazing food is shared by close friends who remi-

nisce about days gone by.Something just as special awaits at local

restaurants at this time of year, where it’s not so much the past that’s fodder for tales, but the hope for the future.

With the Chinese New Year around the corner—celebrated on Monday, Jan. 23—local restaurants have been decked out with special decorations, with red and gold lanterns, dragons, fireworks and

envelopes.But beyond the superficial is the

thoughtful symbolism that’s behind the special items now featured on local Chi-nese restaurant menus, including at The Jade Seafood Restaurant on Alexandra Road.

Award-winning chef Tony Luk has crafted a promise-filled special menu that is sure to tantalize the taste buds and delight the hearts of Chinese New Year celebrants.

Luk’s Assorted Mushroom Wrapped in Bean Curd with Fat Choy looks a little like a pillow surrounded by bok choy and balls of hair.

But this item is meant to symbolize clar-ity of thinking and meditation on making money.

The bean curd envelopes a variety of vegetables including different mushrooms, and is designed to look like the cushion on which monks sit while meditating.

a stringy vegetable that look like balls of hair are actually a water-based plant from Tibet known as fat choy that’s dried in the sun, and along with the eight bok choy—eight is considered lucky because it sounds like the word for making wealth—help decorate the dish and the two “choys” (fat choy, and bok choy) bring to mind Gung Hei Fat Choy, or Happy New Year.

Luk spoke to The Rich-mond Review this week, with Rae Kung from the Chinese Restau-rant Awards serving as translator.

He said that chefs are conscious of the fact that an increasing number of people want to eat healthier, and his vegetarian dish keeps that in mind.

His special sauteed prawn dish also offers

some symbolism.Prawn translated in

Cantonese is ha, and that invokes thoughts of laughter.

So Luk’s sauteed prawns are positioned into the shape of a

smile, and he’s added a special sauce he thought up a year ago, Yun-nan Morel Mushroom Sauce. The broccoli almost looks like a jade tree, which symbolizes prosperity.

Dinners and luncheons galore for Malcolm Brodie


The Chinese New Year always brings a smile to Richmond Mayor Mal-colm Brodie’s face.

While his schedule for the next two weeks is fi lled with dinners, lun-cheons and ceremonies related to the advent of the Year of the Dragon, and he’ll get his fi ll of his favourite seafood dishes, there’s something closer to his heart that this time of year touches.

“One thing that makes Chinese New Year such a pleasant experience is that it’s a real family time,” Brodie said, add-ing that watching friends and families gather to share a meal makes it so special.

Add to that the fact the Chinese New Year follows on the heels of Christmas and New Year’s, which generates a “real positive spirit among people” at this time of year, he said.

Though Chinese New Year isn’t offi cially until Jan. 23, Brodie said he’s already done a number of interviews and greeting messages for the ethnic media, from TV to radio.

On tap for the mayor over the next couple of weeks are fi ve to eight dinners, eight to 10 offi cial events at local malls or libraries, as well as a handful of luncheon engagements.

If he had more time, he might have tried to squeeze another dozen events he’s been invited to.

“You can only do so

many, so much,” he said.The Chinese New

Year at the start of the calendar year is among the three busiest times of year for Brodie. There’s also the end-of-school-year events from the end of May to June, and the holiday period from mid-November to just before Christmas.

Asked why the mayor is invited to attends so many events at this time of year, Brodie explained that within Asian cultures, people in an organiza-tion feel honoured if the mayor participates.

For Brodie’s part, he’s an an Earth Rat based on his birthday in 1948. Characteristic of the rat is someone who is inge-nious and has a strong metal capacity. And that means he is conventional and a good achiever, who is honourable and pos-sesses warm feelings for his family.

And family is front and centre during the Chinese New Year.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

What is The Safest Colour for your Vehicle?Over the years there has

been much discussion about what might be the safest colour for a car, in terms of being conspicuous to other motorists, and thereby preventing a collision. Much of the information accumulated over time is anecdotal. One study stands out. The Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) in Melbourne, Australia reportedly analysed 850,000 Australian collisions occurring between 1982 and 2004.

The winning colour in the MUARC study was white, regardless of time of day or weather. From there the risk of crash escalated with grey, silver, red and blue. The worst bet was black with a 12% higher number of crashes than white.

In the MUARC study, black was also particularly bad in twilight conditions, reportedly resulting in a 47% higher risk than white.

During the time frame of the Australian study, white was a popular colour with motorists with, it appears, perhaps 40% of the vehicles operating in the two Australian states under study painted white.

Studies of this nature have to consider, and potentially explain, age-related preferences, such as white cars appealing to cautious people, and red cars being purchased by younger drivers with, maybe, a dramatic fl air in their driving style. Weather as a factor is also a concern when transferring study results from a generally sunny country such as Australia, to Canada with its winter climatic conditions that often restrict visibility.

A less in depth study of this topic was done in another sunny country, New Zealand, not long ago, providing a different but somewhat consistent result. Silver was the safety winner. The authors of the study seem to have been at a loss to fully explain why silver

does well, especially in misty conditions, but statistics are statistics.

The results of the forgoing studies support the decisions of close to 40% car buyers in North America, in terms of safety A report by a major American paint manufacturer from October 2011, put the popularity of automobile colours as:

• White: 20%• Silver: 19%The other colour categories, for new vehicles, and

said to be less safe, were:• Black: 18 %• Gray: 15%• Naturals (tans, golds, browns, oranges and

yellows): 7%• Green: 2%• Hard to categorize colours: 19%The question then arises: does the insurance

company care about the colour of the vehicle and rate your insurance accordingly? The answer is no. It appears that insurance underwriters worldwide have never factored car colour into the basic variables they work with. You can buy a bright red car, which presumably reliable studies suggest will more likely be involved in a crash than a white model of the same vehicle, and pay the same rate.

What interests the insurance people who assess risk are the classic factors of age, training and driving history of the motorist, and the power, style and purpose of the vehicle under consideration. If you are buying a high performance sports car, the underwriters are nervous and your rates will be relatively high, whether the vehicle is black or white.

Chinese New Year’s gala to be held at River Rock this Sunday

A celebration of the new year will take place at a Chinese New Year’s Eve gala Sunday at River Rock Show Theatre.

The family event, organized by Tony Chan’s TL Entertainment Production, is a way of marking the start of the 15-day lunar new year festival—a time of prosperity, longevity and wealth, and a time to eliminate any past negative chi (life energy).

In this Year of the Dragon, the River Rock audi-ence will collectively wake up the celestial dragon, and with it, get plenty of good luck. The dragon, a creature of myth and legend, represents a well-known emperor and symbolizes power.

Audiences will learn more about the traditions and customs of Chinese New Year, such as the im-portance of the colour red in symbolizing fi re—an element believed to reduce bad luck.

Also promised is a peek into the future with the help of a famous fortune teller, music by a range of popular singers and a lion dance.

Tickets, $25 to $68, at ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000. A portion of ticket sales will benefi t B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Chinese New YearLion’s dance at Lansdowne this SundayFrom Page B13

The Richmond Chinese Community Society is presenting a lion dance throughout the mall on Sat-urday, Jan. 28 starting at 1:30 p.m. outside The Bay’s courtyard, with red envelopes handed out that day.

With construction underway of the mall’s new din-ing terrace, Richmond Centre’s celebrations will be scaled back, but many merchants will be celebrat-ing in their stores with promotions for customers.

On Sunday, Jan. 22, Lansdowne Centre gets into the swing of things thanks to a celebration present-ed by TD Canada Trust and the Richmond Chinese Community Society. The opening ceremony starts at 12:30 p.m., with a traditional lion dance, a martial arts demonstration, singing, dancing and cultural entertainment until 5 p.m.

The Money God will be handing out lucky red envelopes and wishing all visitors good fortune.

“We’re looking forward to big crowds on Sunday,” said Lansdowne spokesperson Bronwyn Bailey. “Last year’s celebration drew more than 2,000 people.

Back at Aberdeen Centre, the B.C. Chinese Com-munity Association will be performing on Saturday, Jan. 28 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the Central atrium, followed by the Vancouver Academy of Dance from 3 to 4 p.m. Then on Sunday, Jan. 29, the B.C. Zhong Yang Music Association will be performing from 1 to 2 p.m. in the central atrium, followed from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. by Colors of Dance Academy.

Then fi nally on Sunday, Feb. 5, Tom Lee will be presenting a Chinese New Year piano recital from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in the central atrium.
