Robbed blindHe’s been blind since he was three

and has repelled more would-be robbersin his 29-year-old life than he cares toremember.

But Johnny Tai didn’t expect a crookto stoop to a new low by tricking his wayinto his rented basement suite and steal-ing a precious martial arts knife collec-tion from right under his nose.

The thief rang Tai’s doorbell around8 p.m. Saturday night, purporting to behelping the new tenant upstairs and anelectrician with a hydro problem.

He told Tai — who was aware a newtenant had moved in upstairs — he need-ed to inspect his suite for any electricalproblems.

The stranger’s story made sense and,while he moved around Tai’s home, heasked all the right questions and appearedto know a lot about Tai himself.

“The person that came to the dooraddressed me by name, knew all the rightthings to say and knew there was a newtenant upstairs,” he said.

“They had a lot of information. Allthe while, I could hear him on the phoneto someone and he was using a strangeaccent. It wasn’t Mandarin or Cantonesethough.”

After about 20 minutes, the man toldTai he couldn’t find anything wrong andleft.

And it wasn’t until later the same eve-ning that Tai began to suspect somethingwas amiss.

“I phoned my landlord and asked himabout the utility bill and he said he hadn’teven received it yet,” Tai told the Newson Monday from his Seacliff Road homein Richmond’s Shellmont neighbourhood.

“I quickly went through the place andrealized that four or five of my kniveshad been taken.

“It makes me wonder if I shouldanswer the door at all and whether Ishould be friends with my neighbours.”

Tai said that he’s now dealing witha range of emotions, from disbelief toanger.

“I want to let people like this knowthat they can’t get away with it and Iwon’t take this lying down,” he said.

“But it’s a very jumbled feeling whensomeone screws you over and you can’teven tell the police what they look like.That plays hell with your self-esteem.

“I feel very angry, because I’ve man-aged to defend myself all my life. Thistime I didn’t even get a chance to dothat.”

Tai said he has his suspicions of whoit might have been and has passed thatinformation to the police.

Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, of RichmondRCMP, confirmed the incident wasreported on Saturday night and thatthey’re still investigating it.

Dhillon’s Order of B.C. queriedPOLITICS

The NDP’s Mike Farnworth is questioningan Order of B.C. given to a Richmond manwho allegedly donated thousands of dollarsillegally to former solicitor-general KashHeed’s election campaign.

The money was never reported and theman, Richmond cranberry mogul PeterDhillon, was part of an RCMP commercialcrime investigation into Heed’s campaignfinancing.

The police investigation has wrapped upand the case is in the hands of special pros-ecutor Peter Wilson, who has been asked toreport on whether to lay charges against Heedand Dhillon.

None of the allegations against Heed orDhillon have been proven in court. And bothmen say they are innocent of wrongdoing.

“I have done absolutely nothing wrong,”Dhillon said recently.

Farnworth, the NDP’s law and order criticand a candidate for leader of the provincialparty, said the short time between Heed’s2009 election and Dhillon’s OBC appoint-ment raises eyebrows.

“I do find it rather interesting on a numberof things — one, three months after work-ing for someone in a political campaign, youget the Order of B.C.,” Farnworth told TheProvince.

“What did he get the Order of B.C. for?“From what we’ve seen so far of (Heed’s)

campaign, I don’t think I’d call it an Orderof B.C.-worthy effort,” said Farnworth. “Thetiming does raise some eyebrows.”

According to information sworn byRCMP Sgt. John Taylor to obtain search war-rants, Dhillon donated unreported thousandsof dollars to Heed’s campaign and sat in on

strategy sessions for the campaign.On Page 15 of his 93-page document

seeking the search warrants, Taylor drawsattention to Heed’s support for Dhillonreceiving the Order of B.C.

Taylor noted: “During the time that KashHeed was considering running, he advocatedfor Peter Dhillon to receive the Order ofB.C.”

Before Heed left his job as chief of theWest Vancouver Police Department, he wrotea glowing recommendation for Dhillon’sOrder of B.C. on police department statio-nery dated Feb. 20, 2009, which said:

“I have had the pleasure of interactingwith Mr. Dhillon to the extent that he influ-enced me to seek the position of chief con-stable.”

Heed stepped down as police chief onMarch 6, 2009, to run for office. He waselected on May 12.

Dhillon received his membership in theOrder of B.C. three months later.

The RCMP claims that Dhillon madeunreported contributions to Heed’s campaign.

They’ve juggled the budgetsaround and thrown the numbersagainst the wall, but there’s noway city staff can reduce thisyear’s property tax increase anyfurther.

And, despite suggestionsto the contrary by a few coun-cillors last week, the City ofRichmond’s $16 million accu-mulated surplus and $159 mil-lion reserves will not be used tostifle any tax increase.

Instead, staff’s proposed2.94 per cent rise will actuallyjump up by 0.01 per cent afterCoun. Evelina Halsey-Brandtsuccessfully introduced amotion to include $20,000 in the operatingbudget to be split between the RichmondCentre for Disability and the RichmondTherapeutic Equestrian Society.

“Adding $20,090 to help some of theneediest residents is money well spent,” shesaid. “The difference $10,000 can make isunbelievable.”

City council also resisted dipping intogaming revenues to lower the tax increase,saying it was a slippery slope to start relyingon such funds for that purpose.

In response to queries from council,the city’s general manager of business and

finance, Andrew Nazareth, saidthat the accumulated surplusand reserves can be accessed atthe “council’s discretion.”

But Nazareth explained thatthe millions of dollars lyingin accumulated surplus andreserves have “deliberately” notbeen touched.

“Our capital plans for thenext five to seven years willneed cash flow,” he added.

Coun. Ken Johnston evenquestioned whether the $159million reserve pot is bigenough to deal with the city’sfuture capital project needs.

“Our water main and sani-tary sewer (reserve fund) are atreasonable levels, some of theothers are a work in progress,”

Nazareth said. “But if we included all thefunds, including the ones already committed,the figure would be a lot higher.”

Johnston said he was concerned last weekto hear some colleagues suggest dipping intothe accumulated surplus to use in this year’sbudget.

“I think 2.95 per cent is a reasonableamount. Nobody wants a tax increase, but thisone I think is palatable,” Johnston said.

Others on council, however, includingCoun. Sue Halsey-Brandt, said she found itdifficult to ask taxpayers to stump up morecash, knowing how much the city has in sur-

pluses and reserves.Coun. Bill McNulty suggested last week

that it was perhaps time for the city to con-sider giving the taxpayer a break by accessingsome of the accumulated surplus.

The city will still use more than half oflast year’s projected surplus of $6 million tooffset this year’s operating budget.

The money drawn from the 2010 surpluswill go toward covering half of the city’s obli-gated $3 million contribution to the Olympicoval, $1.2 million towards increased costsattached to the RCMP contract and a $1 mil-

lion transfer to reserves.The projected net increase to spending of

just over $9 million is being can be mitigatedto a certain extent via the $3.7 million 2010surplus and $750,000 from delaying staffreplacements and new hires.

The average Richmond homeowner willhave to pay $38.82 more for property taxes.

The proposed budget, which was unani-mously approved by the finance committee onMonday and expected to be rubber-stampedby city council, will maintain the current levelof service enjoyed by residents.

Property tax rise to go ahead despite surplus

Richmond RCMP has issued a warn-ing to the Richmond Animal ProtectionSociety (RAPS) about a reported case ofdog food being laced with rat poison atMorris Park, according to Christie Lagally,a volunteer with RAPS.

Morris Park is located betweenGranville Avenue and Blundell Road aswell as No. 1 Road and Railway Avenue.

The park is surrounded by Cabot Drive,Baffin Drive, Parry Street and ShackletonDrive.

It may not be the only park, so peopleare being asked to keep their eyes openand watch their pets carefully, states thewarning. If your dog is poisoned at a park,contact Richmond police with as muchinformation as possible.

support of the campaign toelect Kash Heed, withoutmaking such contributionto the financial agent . . .contrary to Section 263 ofthe Election Act,” Taylorsaid in a document putbefore a judge in October.

Taylor also made thisdeduction in his sworndocument: “Peter Dhillonmade undeclared contribu-tions to Kash Heed’s cam-paign.”

The offence carries amaximum fine of $10,000or a year in jail, or both.

Dhillon has denied hehad anything to do withHeed’s campaign and sayshe did nothing wrong.

But Taylor says hebelieves Dhillon, despitehis denials, “had a closerelationship” with Heed

and that he had “a similarrelationship with BarinderSall,” Heed’s campaignmanager whose BlackBerryrevealed a minefield ofembarrassment for theMLA.

Sall faces three countsunder the election act andtwo counts of obstruct-ing justice and one countof falsifying a documentunder the Criminal Code.

Sall calls himself thestrategy guy and Urquhart“like the communicationsdirector . . . .”

In his application, Tayloralso provided the judgewith a picture taken on thenight of the election show-ing Heed, Dhillon and Sallposing together in a smilingembrace.

David Choi, president ofthe constituency associa-

tion of the B.C. Liberalsin the constituency ofVancouver-Fraserview said:“It was obvious to me thatPeter Dhillon would be oneof the funders.”

“I assume that he madecontributions” because ofhis friendship with formerattorney-general WallyOppal and Sall.

Heed won with 9,549votes compared with theNDP’s Gabriel Yu, whoreceived 8,801 votes.

Three companies con-nected to Dhillon madecontributions totalling$1,500 to the B.C. NDP inthe 2009 election.

A Richmond man is among fivealleged gang members charged with theslaying of an innocent car stereo installer.

Dan Russell has been charged with thefirst-degree murder of Jonathan Barberand attempted murder of Vicky King.

Barber was killed in a hail of gunfireon the night of May 9, 2008, at the 7000-block of Kingsway in Burnaby. King,Barber’s girlfriend at the time, was in aseparate vehicle and was also shot.

Ion Kroitoru and Yong Lee, bothfrom Surrey, Dilun Hung of Missionand Karwan Saed, of Burnaby, are alsocharged with the same offences.

The murders of Barber and KevinLeClair on Feb. 6, 2009, were two ofmore than a dozen slayings of gangsters,associates or innocents caught in thecrossfire of a bloody gang war betweenthe UN gang, led by Clay Roueche, andthe rival Red Scorpions, led by the Baconbrothers of Abbotsford.

Barber was driving Jamie Bacon’sPorsche Cayenne along Kingsway inBurnaby when shots rang out.

He didn’t know that he was driving apurported gang leader’s vehicle when heagreed to install a stereo in it.

His teenage girlfriend was seriouslywounded as she followed Barber inanother vehicle.

EDITORIAL OPINION

It’s going to be difficult to notice when we actually dohave a federal election, seeing as the campaigning hascarried on so interminably since at least 2006.

A half decade of pointless namecalling later, the storiesare still the same.

Liberals say the Conservatives are a bunch of ogreswith all sorts of nefarious schemes ready to hatch shouldthey win a majority, and the Tories say Grit leader MichaelIgnatieff is a opportunistic dilettante ready to leap into bedwith whatever socialists and separatists will help him pursuethe amusing hobby called leading our nation.

Both Ignatieff and Prime Minister Stephen Harperhave been busy lately trying to debunk these notions, withIgnatieff bringing his best hand-shaking populism to target-ed ridings, and Harper sitting down with the CBC to insisthis sleeves are free of surprises.

Of course they both took the opportunity to say nastythings about each other too.

It is an occupational hazard of this constant semi-elec-tion, but it’s disappointing that our public figures still can’tfind it in themselves to be civil.

Trash the policy, but not the person. We all respect ath-letes for being gracious with their competitors, so why can’twe demand this of our public figures?

Our failure to do so is what has led to this dumbing-down of our debate.

Harper and Ignatieff are both supremely talented peoplewho have done much they can be proud of in their lives.Both will be remembered as great Canadians. But it wouldbe a surpassing achievement if they could publicly acknowl-edge this in each other.

Before this month, Ididn’t know much aboutTunisia. I knew it was acountry in North Africa, aformer part of the OttomanEmpire and the later Frenchcolonial empire. I couldguess that it was not ahappy shiny land of democ-racy and freedom. Butthose are generalities aboutall of North Africa west ofEgypt.

Now we’re all quitepleased that (ex) presidentZine El Abidine Ben Alihas been chased out of thecountry by the JasmineRevolution.

The revolt has manyroot causes, from highunemployment to the usualhumiliations that peopleendure under a suffocatingdictatorship. It was sparkedby the suicide in Decemberof Mohammed Bouazizi,an unemployed young manwho set himself on fire inpublic. Images of his actof pain and protest spreadthrough the Internet, tosatellite news stations thatbroadcast them right backinto Tunisia.

In an already strainedenvironment, protestsand riots grew. The armyrefused to intervene. Thepresident fled the country,and the government col-lapsed. An interim govern-ment was cobbled together,and almost collapsed againin the face of angry pro-tests. (This will happenwhen you make your new“democratic” governmentfrom pieces of the old auto-cratic one.)

Here’s the thing that’sreally interesting about all

this. Before this month, 99per cent of Canadians knewnothing about Tunisia.Sure, there were someCanadians born there, orwhose ancestors camefrom there, who probablypaid a lot of attention tothe news from back home.And no doubt there is sometiny little NGO with threeemployees that has beentrying to raise awareness ofBen Ali’s dictatorship.

But really, it’s a tinydictatorship. It wasn’t theharshest regime in theworld (probably NorthKorea) or the craziest(North Korea again) andit doesn’t have nukes (seeabove).

But now, pundits arefalling all over themselvesto talk about the signifi-cance of the events there.Does this mean doomfor other repressive Arabregimes? Will Tunisiabecome a democratic stateon its own, without outsideinvasion/bombing/friendlyhelp from the U.S.? Or willit be taken over by Islamicfundamentalist radicals andturned into a giant terroristtraining camp?

And western govern-ments are lining up to cheeron the plucky protesters.(Except for the French,who were offering to helpBen Ali with his little secu-

rity problem as recently asa month ago. Jerks.)

Why?Really, why? No one

cared about Tunisia threeweeks ago. I know Icouldn’t have found it onan unmarked map. It wasn’teven a trendy oppressedplace, like Chiapas or Tibet.No movie star glamour forits plight.

The question in Tunisialately has been whether therevolt would have come tofruition without the imagesof Mohammed Bouaziziburning. It’s about whethermedia can cause people toact. In many ways, it’s theflip side of the question,was the shooting in Tucsonsparked by the media?

But the truth aboutmedia, even social media,is that for most people,it remains entertainment,style, personal expression.That is to say, it is utterlymeaningless.

Changing your Twitterimage to green did notfree the Iranian people. Noamount of editorializing bythe western press will affectthe outcome of the Tunisianrevolution. Facebook isnot going to help send theDalai Lama back home toTibet.

From the pundits to thepoliticians to the bloggers,without action, our supportfor change in Tunisia is justmuch empty air, flashingpixels forming meaninglessconstellations that affectnothing.

Matthew Claxton isa reporter with News’ssister paper the LangleyAdvance.

The Editor,Before Richmond commits to a three-month-long mari-

time festival to replace the Tall Ships’ fiasco, it shouldadvise Richmond residents of the impacts of the proposedevent and determine whether there is public support for it.

From my perspective, if the elongated festival means thatGarry Point Park will be inaccessible to local people onsummer weekends, musical events will be cancelled at theBritannia Shipyards, or concrete piers will be installed atthe mouth of the Fraser River, I vote against holding it.

And if there is an option for the city to return the mate-rials it purchased to build new floats, then that’s what itshould do.

Hopefully the city will learn something from the mess itnow finds itself in.

Trying to stage a major festival with virtually no time toplan or organize it, in a period of economic downturn, afteran Olympics where sponsors were hard to attract, nevermade sense, and making commitments that put millions oftaxpayer dollars at risk was simply wrong.

The truth is that, given all of the factors it could con-trol, the city should never had considered bidding for a TallShips Festival in 2011.

PAINFUL TRUTH

Letters

The Editor,Re: “Animal shelter facesanxious days ahead,”News, Jan. 21:

Alan Campbell’s lat-est article about the Cityof Richmond givingRAPS the run-around onits contract renewal isyet more evidence of theproblem that has existedin Richmond for the past15 years.

The bylaws departmentin this city is in need of amassive overhaul.

It can be seen in thepetition to B.C. SupremeCourt Mr. Ryan Lake

recently announced inthe News (Jan. 5, Letters,“Maybe you can fight cityhall”) and his frequentobservations of bylawdepartment inadequacies(Richmond News, July31, 2009; Sept. 23, 2009;Oct. 23, 2009; March 12,2010).

It can be seen in theminutes of the most recentcity council meeting (Jan.10), in which my wife andothers were berated bycouncil for suggesting thatthe current breed-specificbylaws were dysfunc-tional.

Finally, it can be seenin the fact that twice inthe past two days, my wifeand I were approached bygrowling, snarling, off-leash dogs in the City ofRichmond.

My inspection of theanimal control bylawreveals that in both ifthese instances, there wereno fewer than three sec-tions of the bylaw violatedsimultaneously, whichshould have resulted in thedogs being impounded atthe owners’ expense.

Where is the bylawenforcement in this city?

Why does it work sopoorly?

Until these questionsare addressed, no progresson the problems I men-tioned can be made.

The city should take asits incentive the realiza-tion that if everyone whohad ever been traumatizedby an aggressive dog inRichmond got together,the resulting class actioncould be very hard toignore.

City, tighten leash on bylawsREFORM

DEMOCRACY

Four (simple) steps for electoral reformThe Editor,

How can we get bigmoney out of politics?How can we make politicsmore democratic, com-petitive, and accessible forthe average citizen?

Here is my four-stepcampaign reform planwhich attempts to create alevel playing field for allthe candidates.

1. Candidates can pay

a deposit to the privatebanks in exchange for acampaign loan.

2. Candidates cansubmit their campaignreceipts to the bank afterthe election.

3. The elections officecan reimburse the banksfor all official campaignexpenses.

4. The elections officecan produce an elections

website which would listthe biographies, commu-nity experience, and quali-fications of all the candi-dates. This would providean unbiased source ofinformation for the voters.

There you go!Simple and straightfor-

ward.This four-step cam-

paign reform plan willbe a huge step forward in

ensuring the best interestsof the citizens are reflect-ed in government policyand decision making.

QHow do you get over “the One”

AIf you see a potential property as “the One” don’t make themistake and overpay. Here are a few tips to help you avoidfalling prey to thoughts of “the One:”

• Before you begin viewing properties, prepare a checklist of all thefeatures you consider your ‘must-haves.’ Bring your list with you toevery property that you view and measure how each home stacksup. This will help to keep your decisions ‘needs-based.’

• For your home previews, bring along your Realtor, impartial friend orfamily member or anyone who can provide an objective assessmentof the property, to help you see the property as it really is.

• For any property you are seriously considering buying, go back andview it at different times of the day or days of the week, getting toknow what rush hour looks like or how the area changes at night.

• Hire a professional home inspector.

2046 Q Is it possible, to have a complete lower denture made

that does not allow food to go under the denture?

ACreating a lower denture that does not allow food to go under ispossible. Two factors must be observed. The size of the denture

base and the balance of the teeth function. Accurate impressiontechnique is crucial for success to be achieved. An over or underextended denture base spells disaster. Equally, teeth that wobble whenchewing allows an ingress of food under the denture base. When Icreate, fit and deliver a full lower denture, the first questions I ask apatient when they come for their check up appointment is, did food gounder the denture, how well did you chew and are the teeth sharp. Ifthe answers are favorable, then I have completed a successful denture.You should expect this high level of expertise from your denturist. Toinquire regarding this or any other high quality denture procedure,please call and book your free consultation with us.

from my insurance company ?

AUnfortunately this incident or claim happens quite a lot and fortunatelythis is why insurance is useful. The first thing to do is to call yourinsurance broker to advise us of the incident any time of day or night;

any broker worth the while will have after hours contact services. Besidesthe obvious i.e. does the premises need to be secured & have you called thepolice, the responsibility of a client after dealing with the immediate is togather / list the details and values of the loss and present it to adjustor forreimbursement. The type of information or supporting documents the adjustorneeds is invoices, sales slips, pictures or even videos. Once the adjustor verifiescoverages, they will reimburse the client less the policy deductible and closethe file. It really can be that simple providing the client can verify the amountsclaimed. Adjustors are interested in settling claims as swift as possible withthe client's best interests at heart. As always we like to help with any insurancematter you have and look forward to hearing from you.

MortgageEXPERT

QHow will the mortgage changes comingin March 18, 2011 affect me as a

purchaser?

AFirstly they will only affect buyers with less than20% down payment as those mortgages require

CMHC insurance. For those buyers, amortizations willbe cut from 35 years to 30 years.A 5 year reduction in amortization will reduce yourmortgage affordability by roughly 7%. This means thatif you currently qualify for a mortgage of $300,000at 35 years you can expect to see that reduced byapproximately $21,000. Purchase contracts beingentered into before but completing after the March18th deadline will still be eligible for 35 yearamortizations. Contracts written after March 18th willbe subject to a maximum amortization of 30 years.

QI had the flu a few months ago andhave had a reocurrance three times

since. Can TCM help me?

AChinese Medicine can help. Each of us whohas the flu starts with an imbalance in the

body. In the recovery from the flu, the imbalancemay partially remain and the body may acquiremore residual factors such as phlegm and heatin the lungs. With cold and wet weather, the bodysuccumbs again to the heat and/or phlegm and thecough resumes. Acupuncture and Chinese herbscan clear the heat and resolve the phlegm so thatthe body can finally regain a healthy balance.

Feb. 12, 2011 will markthe first official anniver-sary of the 2010 WinterOlympic Games hosted byVancouver.

Looking back at theOlympics, many peoplefeel a vast range of emo-tions, but many had verydifferent opinions aboutthe Olympics (myself included) at first.

Prior to the actual Olympics, I thoughtthat the entire thing was just a nuisance.

The much-anticipated Olympic ovalseemed to be taking an eternity to finish.Construction of the Canada Line causedmuch chaos and made moving aroundharder as traffic seemed to be cloggedeverywhere.

I thought the Canada Line would notbe worthwhile and that taxpayers’ money(money that my parents could have givento me) was going to waste.

As time went on and the Olympicsarrived, I had a complete change of heart.

I was touched by Olympic fever,which became an epidemic and soon theentire nation was infected.

Everywhere I looked, there was a seaof red and white.

It seemed everyone in Richmond hadtheir red Olympic mittens.

Every Canadian can remember exactlywhere they were at the pivotal moment

when Sidney Crosbyscored the overtime goalthat gave Team Canada thegold medal.

The crowd that hadgathered at Richmond’s OZone immediately begancelebrating with loudcheers and hollers.

In that moment, eventhe worst of enemies could have put theirdifferences aside to celebrate Canada’swin over America.

For two weeks, there was a partyatmosphere that everyone joined in on.

The Olympics have come and goneand now Richmond citizens have greatmemories to look back on.

The Olympic oval is still open andis a great place for sports and fitness.The Canada Line is amazing and makestraveling to downtown Vancouver muchfaster and more convenient.

Reflecting back on the Olympics, Ican say that I’m glad Vancouver hostedthe 2010 Games and I’m sure many peo-ple would agree with me.

Some of the improvements toRichmond as a result of the Olympicswill be ever lasting.

The Olympics may be over, butCanadian pride lives on.

Most people want to be happy,and most of us have experiencedhappiness, albeit briefly, from timeto time throughout our lives. Therest of our days are either consumedin pursuit of the things we believewill make us happy or the resigna-tion that life will never be perfectand we will never be happy.

What we all want and what we alldeserve is enduring happiness.

The privilege of my vocation isto work with patients of every age inhealth and illness, through crisis andchallenge, from the moment of birthto the end of life.

I am witness to their changes withgrowth and the changes of aging. Iguide young parents, couples and thewidowed in the challenges of theirown emotions and relationships.

What I have learned from mypatients is that happiness is notalways what we think it is.

Though we consume our ener-gies in pursuit of it, we are oftendisappointed when we get what wewant. When we’ve lost somethingor someone we value, we recognizehappiness in its absence, whichbrings us all the more sorrow.

My other great teachers havebeen my family.

My parents taught me that hap-piness is best experienced by lov-ing fully and without judgment,

living a life of integrity, and acting— beyond our own self-interests— for others and things bigger thanourselves.

The journey of parenting with mywife has given me the opportunity tolive the way of happiness modeledby my parents.

To be a parent is to share the joyof new life and responsibility, tolive and give for someone else, toappreciate the simple pleasures offamily life, to see the perfect infantin the imperfect teen, to let go of thelittle things and to stand up for whatmatters most, to be humble and to bestrong.

Happiness is more than pleasure.Enduring happiness cannot be foundin a pill, in drugs, in alcohol or insex.

Happiness is not a place or timewhen everything is perfect, wherewe will have everything we want. It

can’t be found in the past, in a shop-ping mall or a catalogue, in a newcar or in a new home. It is not theperfect partner, the perfect job or amillion dollars.

Like our bodies and our stateof health and our own natures ashuman beings, life is not perfect.When it appears to be, it’s just anillusion, because we and life itselfare ever changing.

But with our imperfect selves,connected in our imperfect relation-ships and in our imperfect lives, wecan still be happy.

If you’re ready to take a freshlook at life, question self-limitingbeliefs and discover enduring happi-ness, join me in “A Hundred Days toHappiness.”

Beginning Feb. 1, I will sharethe insights I’ve learned from mypatients, friends and family. Eachday, I will post one new insighton Facebook and twitter.com/DrDavidicusWong.

Dr. Davidicus Wong is a physi-cian at PrimeCare Medical. HisHealthwise column appears regu-larly in this paper and his Internetradio show, Positive PotentialMedicine, can be heard on pwrnra-dio.com.

Or watch the creativity and camaraderie of the knitting

group that gets together for inspiration and a laugh or two, once a week.“We also have four of our locations which have conference rooms that anyonecan book free of charge,” says Rahmati, adding all locations have free WiFi.“We want to be the neighbourhood gathering place.”Waves provide a warm and inviting atmosphere, and offers espresso beverages,coffees, international loose leaf teas, real Belgian hot chocolate, and a variety ofother caffeine free and high in antioxidant beverages.They also feature delicious paninis and freshly baked goods, delivered fresh dailyfrom local bakeries.From the moment you walk into any Waves Coffee House, you’ll feel a warm andinvitingenergy and a sense of community that will keep youcoming back.In 2008 and 2010, Waves was recognized by the BrandCoaches as the Hottest Brand in Canada, beating outmore than 1,500 specialty coffee retail businesses acrossthe country.

SMOKED SABLE FISHINGREDIENTS:4 filet smoked sable fish

— 140 grams (5oz) each450 grams (1 pound)

fingerling potatoes113 grams (4 oz) shiitake

mushroom4 pieces baby bok choy60 ml (4 T)

caramelized onion113 grams (4 oz)

miso pastehalf cup vinegarone and a half cups of honey30 ml (2 T) soy sauce

METHOD:First thing you make is the honey and miso glaze. In a small pot, over low heat,pour vinegar and miso paste, and whisk until the mixture is reduced by half. Oncereduced, add honey and soy sauce. Let it cool down and set aside.Cut fingerling potatoes in quarters and steam them for about seven minutes. Youcan take a small knife and poke it and when it slides of by itself that means it’sready. Once potatoes are cooked sauté them in olive oil till golden brown and addcaramelized onion. Set aside for plating. Sauté shiitake mushrooms and the bok choytogether until mushrooms are soft and the bok choy is cook. About three minutes.When you buy smoke sable fish it usually has a salty flavour due to the smokingprocess. You don’t really need to add anymore salt. Season the fish with blackpepper and sear one side of the fish and add two small cubes of butter. Finish it ina 190 C (375 F) oven for about five minutes.

Community

We’re all on a journeytogether in this lifetime todiscover who we are andwhat is the real truth of ourbeing. We do this every dayduring interactions with ourpartners, family members,colleagues and people in ourcommunity. Even thoughwe may not realize it, life situations arealways opportunities for us to discover whowe are. Sometimes we encounter someonewho is not having a good day and they mayproject their feelings toward us. It’s notabout us needing to know why that personis speaking or acting in such a manner,what is more important is how we chooseto engage in the situation. We always havea choice to keep our heart open in any cir-cumstance regardless of how we feel aboutthe situation.

When we live with an open heart andwith awareness it takes the fire out of anysituation because there is no ego wantingto control the outcome. There’s simply anopenness to what is, as it is.

We can all have conversations that aren’tcharged with anger, raised voices or wordsof abuse. When you stay open, speak fromthe heart and let love be the guide, it tendsto diffuse situations that are charged withfire. When someone is busy defendingthemselves it’s usually a sign they are justprotecting their heart. They fear they will

not be loved for who theyare, and all any of us reallywant in this lifetime is to beseen and loved. It really is assimple as that.

Pay attention next timeand respond from a place oflove, instead of reacting inthe way you might usually

do. When you let love be the guide, it’s dif-ficult for the ego to survive. We can chooseto let go of the clutter that clouds ourminds and focus our attention on alwaysacting or reacting from a place of love.When we live our lives authentically andfrom a place of love we may find that lifedoes indeed become simpler.

Give yourself a challenge over the nextmonth to move from a place of love nomatter what. Really, yes — no matter what:love for your life as it is, love for otherbeings who are having challenges, love forthe opportunity to wake up every day, andmost of all love for yourself.

We are in this life journey together andas Gangaji (www.gangaji.org) says “weare one heart lighting candles all over theworld.” Start lighting the candles in theplace where you live and share your experi-ence Email me below.

Google Middle Eastern dancer,Arthur Gulkarov (stage nameSamir), and up pop many YouTubevideos.

Although his face is heavilymade-up and he wears elaborateand colourful costumes, what ismost riveting in all of his per-formances are his arms — theyappear to have a life of their own.

His arms and hands move inan almost hypnotic and fluid way— it’s as if he has no bones.

Gulkarov’s dance moves are alittle Western erotic, mixed witha good dose of belly dance, con-tortionism and tribal dance. Heis as exotic and colourful as hiscostumes.

Gulkarov is also the first andonly male dancer in BellydanceSuperstars’ Bombay Bellywood —which is at the River Rock CasinoResort on Feb. 4.

The professional dancer hasbeen garnering accolades all overthe world for his unique perfor-mances.

Pushing the boundaries ofdance, Gulkarov is one of theleads in Bombay Bellywood.

Since he was a child, Gulkarovhas appeared in shows, concerts,festivals, and cultural eventsthroughout North America, includ-ing a prestigious two-year stintwith Cirque du Soleil’s phenom-enally successful show, O, in LasVegas.

“I portrayed the snobbydancer who didn’t like to share,”

Gulkarov said.“I could have stayed on but

I wanted to pursue new creativeoutlets.”

The young slim performeradded he taught himself the art ofIndian dance.

“I used to watch hours andhours of Indian dancing on thetelevision,” said Gulkarov. “Then,I combined my own body move-ments to make the dance my own.”

He says he comes by his talentnaturally.

“I see dance in my head … it’sbeen like that since I was two,”Gulkarov said. “I’m constantlythinking up new ideas, I can’t turn(creativity) off.”

Gulkarov was born inDushanbe, Tajikistan in the formerSoviet Union to artistic parents.

His mother, MalikaKalantarova, is a famous folkdancer, and holds the coveted titleof People’s Artist of the USSR,and dad, Ishak Gulkarov, is a well-known musician.

Gulkarov said his mother hasbeen both his muse and mentor.

“My mom is a legend inTajikistan and she was combiningdifferent styles of dance beforethe word fusion became a popularword to explain a mix of dancestyles,” he said. “My mom and Iargue a lot but she has taught meso much.

“Every time I come up witha new idea for a dance move Ibounce it off her first.”

The family immigrated to theUnited States in 1993. The youngdancer was soon booked intoevery dance genre imaginable

— ballet, hiphop, Latin salsa andjazz.

“I live for dance, that’s all Iwant to do,” he said. “I think aboutit every waking moment and wakeup from dreams with an idea for anew dance move.”

His first professional gig in theBig Apple was in a Broadway pro-duction of The Nutcracker.

“I’m married to the stage andmy kids are my costumes,” hequipped.

In Bombay Bellywood,Gulkarov said the audience shouldexpect an “artistically excitingshow.”

This new production is oneof the most extensive NorthAmerican tours the troupe has

undertaken since its inceptionseven years ago — 70 cities inthree months.

This 90-minute show featuresIndian dance styles combined withan assorted mix of belly dancetechniques.

“Expect inspiring music anddance as well as incredible cos-tumes,” said Gulkarov, addinghe has five outfit changes (hedesigns his own costumes) duringthe show. “Bombay Bellydancewill show the audience that Indiandancing fused with contemporaryand modern jazz can be visuallystunning.”

During the show, Gulkarovhas a number of acts, including adrum solo, but he’s been gainingrave reviews for his performancein the segment dubbed Night ofthe Serpents.

One reviewer in Chicago said:“The best part of the show wasNight of the Serpents, it remindedme of a Cirque du Soleil act.Gulkarov’s slithering, snake-likearms were the perfect imitation ofa serpent.”

The British newspaperSunday Times called BellydanceSuperstars: “The most importantdance troupe in the world.”

“That segment (Night of theSerpents) is absolutely new andit’s beautiful, technically sharpand at the end of it I’m completelyexhausted,” said Gulkarov.

Bellydance Superstars presentsBombay Bellywood on Friday,Feb. 4 at 8 p.m. in the theatre atthe River Rock Casino Resort.Tickets are available by callingTicketmaster at 604-680-4444 oronline at www.ticketmaster.ca.

Patrick Chan of Toronto, theNo. 2 men’s figure skater inthe world, and Kevin Reynoldsof Coquitlam, B.C., are set tounload the quad Saturday andSunday in the men’s competitionof the BMO Canadian figureskating championships.

Watching intently fromthe stands at Save-on-FoodsMemorial Centre will be 12-year-old Nam Nguyen of Richmond,B.C., a little fellow with the bigdreams of eventually landingthose grand jumps himself.

Nguyen, a four-foot-ninedynamo, ignited the nationaljunior championship on Thursdaynight in Victoria by winning themen’s crown. Next year he planson stepping up to senior and tak-ing on Chan and Reynolds.

“The big thing I’ll be look-ing for during the senior men’scompetition is the atmosphere (inthe rink), so next year I’ll knowwhat to expect and be ready forit when I compete in the seniornationals,” said Nguyen, theyoungest skater ever to win themen’s junior national title.

“It’s a tough step up to thesenior level from junior.”

The Grade 7 student atAnderson elementary knowsReynolds well from training withhim in Burnaby and has also metChan.

“Patrick and I talked aboutheight . . . right now I’m up tohis neck,” said Nguyen, remark-

ably mature for his age.“My short-term goals are the

top-five at the senior nationalsnext year and long-term goalsare the world championships andWinter Olympics.”

Chan and Reynolds arealready on the internationalstage and the storyline thisweekend is whether the quad-happy Reynolds can come closeto matching Chan, who residesmuch higher up that world lad-der, but is just mastering thequad.

The quad, or lack of it,has become a major issue inmen’s figure skating after EvanLysacek of the U.S. used arestrained approach in winningthe Winter Olympics gold atVancouver over that of the moreaudacious Evgeni Plushenkoof Russia. Chan knows whichway that controversy is headed— world skating opinion is lean-ing in favour of rewarding quads— and knows he has to answerto that.

Canada, along with Japan andthe United States, are the onlythree nations to have earned themaximum three men’s berths intothe 2011 world championshipsMarch 21-27 at Tokyo. The threemen’s medallists this weekendwill advance to Tokyo as theCanadian representatives.

A good bet for the bronzemedal is Shawn Sawyer, 26, ofEdmundston, N.B. — a threetime bronze medallist at thenational championships and isranked No. 28 in the world.

PHOTO COURTESY SKATE CANADA

Nam Nguyen, 12, of Richmond became the youngest ever Canadian junior figure skating champion onThursday in Victoria. Nguyen beams on the podium after beating Shaquille Davis (left) and Peter O’Brien forgold in the Canadian junior men’s figure skating championship. Nguyen is the youngest winner in the event’shistory.

It has been a football season ofmixed blessings for 18 year-oldSimon Fraser University ClansmanMatthias Goossen but next week hevows to end it on a positive note.

After his team went winless inits NCAA Division II debut season,

the 6-3, 290-pound rookie offensivelinesman for the SFU Clan will con-clude his own season by joining theall-world team in the second annualnationally-acclaimed Team USA vs.Team World under-19 championshipfootball game.

The Feb. 2 InternationalFederation of Football and USAFootball sanctioned game in Austin,

Texas, will see the best Americanhigh school football players squareoff against the rest of the world’sbest high-school aged players(22 of 42 Team World players areCanadian).

“It’s a good chance to meet otherpeople around the world and showthat football just isn’t an Americangame anymore,” Goossen said.

The former Richmond Raider is arising star in amateur football.

As a freshman he started all eightconference games and garnered highpraise from his coaches.

Goossen began playing footballat age nine following a brief stint asa hockey player.

“I didn’t like waking upat 5 a.m. in the morning,the skates never really fitme well, and I was just toohyper for hockey. I didn’tfind it fun, there wasn’tmuch hitting,” he said.

After four years on theturf Goossen asked hisparents if he could attendhigh school at VancouverCollege to join one of B.C.’smost successful footballprograms. They obliged andGoossen went on to becomethe club’s captain and mostvaluable player in 2010, hissenior year.

Playing both defense andoffense Goossen excelledon the line as he gainedweight.

From Grade 9 to Grade12 he says he packedon about 120 pounds tobecome one of the prov-ince’s best young prospects.

In 2010 he captained theB.C. under-18 team thatwon a bronze medal at theFootball Canada Cup.

Goossen’s talent isequally matched not only

by his leadership but alsohis commitment to schooland his faith.

The business studentlists Jesus as his most influ-ential person in his onlineClansman profile and hestill volunteers for youthgroups at his church inRichmond.

Naturally, his leadershipqualities lend themselves tohumility, something crucialfor his position.

As a guard his duties areto protect the quarterbackand provide holes for therunning back — thingsthat don’t get noticed on ascoresheet but are arguablythe most important keys towinning.

“The coach knows if youdo a good job,” he said.

Goossen noted there wasalso some silver lining tohis team’s 0-8 record (1-10overall).

“We never had a problemwith effort but it was moreexperience and we ran intosome injuries,” Goossensaid, alluding to the fact theteam’s offense was void of asenior player.

Also, terrible recordaside, Goossen’s relentlessblocking helped the teamachieve the second bestrunning game in the five-team conference and he wasnamed the team’s rookieoffensive player.

As few freshmen startevery game for their col-lege/university teamGoossen’s achievements aremore impressive grantedhe had yet to turn 18 untilmid-season in October. Thetransition from high school,he says, was difficult.

“It was pretty hard. Athigh school you’re the bestand biggest player and atSFU, while I played everysnap, I wasn’t the biggestguy. I was definitely young-er and the transition wentreally well but it’s obviouslyhard,” Goossen said.

In Austin next weekGoossen said he hopes tohelp spring his runningback to a score, whichwould be the first for TeamWorld after it lost the inau-gural game 17-0.

“I think we’ll do well,”he said.
