SAVE $20 Minx is on a mission to unite the disconnected worlds
EL1022A of rich, luxurious hi-fi sound and design miniaturisation.
Until now, there’s been a stark choice of opting for great sounding but
relatively large speakers or choosing a stylish mini speaker system that looks
the part, but fails to stir your soul when the music starts.
But now thanks to Minx, for the very first time, you can experience
extraordinary levels of power and refinement from staggeringly small
speakers. Minx brings all your favourite music, movies, sports and TV shows
to life in a way you’d never imagine.
4.0 Cu. Ft. VRT™ Washer and 7.3 Such advances are made possible by fundamental developments in acoustic
Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer Pair-White science enabling Minx to deliver a quality and depth of sound which has
previously been the preserve of much larger speakers.
Created at Cambridge Audio’s Research and Development Centre in London
by a team fuelled with a passion for incredible sound, Minx completely
rewrites the rulebook of what’s possible from miniature speakers...

6 – HOME SHOW 2011 - Special supplement to THE NEWS
Bigger and better than ever
T
he 2011 edition of the
Ridge Meadows Home
Show promises to be
the biggest ever, with close
to 400 vendors participating,
including 200 new exhibitors.
Organizer Cass Winder
expects more than 20,000
visitors to the event, April
29 to May 1, and is one of the
biggest shows of its kind in
Western Canada.
New for 2011 will be a
mini-RV show, featuring all
sorts of outdoor recreation
vehicles, including motor-
bikes, ATVs, fishing boats
and RVs.
“Everything you’ll need for
summer will be here,” said
Winder. “All the toys, and ev-
erything to haul those toys.”
There will also be golfing,
camping and fishing displays
by local outdoor tourism
companies.
Home Show 2011
“We have such an abun-
dance of outdoor opportuni-
ties here. There’s rivers,
streams, parks, horse trails,
and mountains to explore,”
said Winder. “We wanted
this year’s show to reflect
that.”
There will still be dozens of
building and renovation ex-
perts on hand to share their
know-how and experience,
providing advice on how to
turn your house into a home.
In addition to vendors, the
Ridge Meadows Home Show
features the FunZone Family
Festival, Body, Mind and
Spirit Psychic Fair, West-
coast Amusements, and the
food fair, all of which are free
to attend.
Headlining the FunZone
this year will be Dancing
Bear Story Theatre. The
petting zoo also returns, and
Contributed
The food fair will feature classic
fair food.
there will be plenty of carni-
val rides and food vendors.
The Haney and Mead-
owridge Rotary clubs are
sponsoring a sports fitness
program for kids. Devel-
oped by PacificSport, B.C.’s
Olympic training centre, the
SportFit program allows kids
to measure their abilities
and overall fitness by taking
part in a number of exercises
and challenges. Parents can
then plug the result into
their computer at home, and
get suggestions about what
sports or activities might be
best suited to their child’s
abilities.
Kids will also enjoy Yuen’s
Martial Arts ninja obstacle
course, the Quantum Gym-
nastics play area, as well
as the Aché Brasil capoeria
demonstration.
The Home Show food fair
features all the classic fair
food, as well gourmet cof-
fee, wood-fired pizzas, and
award-winning barbecue.
The event is put on by
the Ridge Meadows Home
Show Society, a non-profit
organization. Admission is
$3, or $6 for the whole family,
and parking is free, with a
complimentary shuttle to the
show.

Haney Builders show how to DIY

I
t’s a dream come true
for the do-it-yourself
enthusiast: three days of
hands on demos designed
to allow DIY crowd to watch
live demonstrations and ask
questions.
Gord McBeath of Haney
Builders’ Supplies figured out
years ago that investing in
staff with hands-on knowl-
edge is what keeps people
coming back.
“I think they used to call
it ‘customer service’ and for
us, it’s just part of our daily
routine,” he said.
“With the 2011 Ridge
Meadows Home Show, we
just take things to the next
level, providing visitors with
the opportunity to see how
everything goes together,
learn about tools, examine
materials and ask a ton of
questions.”
For a lot of the seminars,
Haney Builders has standing
room only, “which is a pretty
good indicator that there are
lots of folks out there eager
to take on ambitious home
improvement projects,” Mc-
Beath said.

Backyard grilling
T
he BBQ champion
whose sauce ranks
No. 3 in North Amer-
ica wants to teach you a
thing or two about backyard
grilling. Barbecue champion
Brian Misko will be sizzling
his way through an ambi-
tious menu that includes
perfect three-step ribs, black
bean and mushroom bur-
ritos, citrus-marinated
prawns with fresh pesto,
slow smoked pulled pork
and beer-brined pork chops
at the BBQ School at the
Home Show.
Audience members will be
rewarded with great bar-
beque tips, and at each show’s
conclusion, tasty samples.
Misko will also tutor on
grilling the perfect barbecued
steak and serve up a vari-
ety of dessert items: grilled
granola apples, grilled peanut
butter and banana dessert
cakes with bourbon cream
sauce.

et tuned into your
inner healer at this
year’s Body, Mind and
Spirit Psychic Fair at Ridge
Meadows Home Show April 29
to May 1.
Organizer Theresa DuPuis
said this year’s event will be
all about the various mind-
body healing modalities.
“It’s great to see that the
healing arts have moved
beyond the label of alternative
health and are now being em-
braced by respected hospitals
and teaching universities,”
DuPuis said.
“Its encouraging to hear that
hospital staff at progressive
institutions are being trained
in mind/body medicine to aid
the body in healing and to as-
sist with pain relief.”
DuPuis said this year’s
Psychic Fair, held upstairs
in Golden Ears Winter Club
Curling Arena, will introduce
Show times are Friday, 7
p.m.; Saturday, noon, 3 p.m.
and 7 p.m.; Sunday, noon and
2 p.m.
Misko will be joined at the
barbeque tent by Christopher
Roper, executive chef at Lava
Dining and Lounge.
Chef Chris will be cooking
up with cedar planked peach-
es with cinnamon caramel
sauce at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
Misko’s skill at the grill has
been honed at barbecue com-
petitions throughout North
America. He has led his team
at House of Q to the Jack
Daniels World BBQ Champi-
onships in 2009 and won the
Team of the Year for British
Columbia in 2010.
Misko was one of the guest
chef’s at the Vancouver 2010
Winter Olympics.

der tents on the fairgrounds,
adjacent to Family Fest and
the Outdoor Leisure and
Lifestyle Show.
visitors to Reiki and other
methods of hands-on healing.
“Most people are somewhat
skeptical at first, but when
they experience a Reiki
session or other hands on
treatment, they quickly real-
ize there is an immediate felt
sense of higher awareness and
relaxation.
The psychic fair has once
again organized local readers
and mediums to provide read-
ings for a fee through a variety
of modalities.
DuPuis said the three-day
event will also feature medi-
ums and tarot cards readers,
some of whom specialize in
messages from beyond.
“It’s incredible when you
see the reaction of people –
especially the skeptics – when
something you say hits home.
