From the deep snows of the mountains to the bright lights of the city, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are going to be a celebration for the ages. With contemporary performances, multimedia shows and stunning Aboriginal art, the white-domed five-storey pavilion will prove one of the signature buildings of the Games; a site that both honours the past and looks towards the future, the 2010 Aboriginal Pavilion is a must-see for visitors and Vancouverites alike. Closer to Vancouver, Grouse Mountain will be open 24 hours a day during the Games; a visit to the North Shore promises snowshoeing, ice skating and even an opportunity to ski with your crew in the wee hours, complete with a view of the city lights. On Vancouver Island’s wild west coast, hit the surf and ride the waves along the legendary shores of Tofino; ski into the backcountry in the province’s Kootenay Rockies; sip local wines in the Thompson Okanagan; explore cowboy country in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast; or make tracks by dogsled through Northern BC’s forested landscape.

The candidates for Congress and the Senate better pay attention because this will be on the test for the 2010 election, if I have anything to say about it. The day after I became a grandmother for the first time, I was so full of joy and enthusiasm when I arrived for work at the Trumbull Times editorial office that the editor asked me to write a column about my experience. Early Monday morning, my boss said he had a top-secret assignment for me, and that afternoon, I was flying to the land of my ancestors, aka Italy, where I walked the streets of Milan in search of my roots . A friend of a friend of a friend â” or something like that â” had a relative with lots of money, so much money he was ranked as one of the top 500 executives in the world, or maybe it was one of the top 500 executives in South Jersey.
