DEVELOPMENT

$4 billion wavesweeping over

city centre

An international destination shopping and entertainmentdistrict — on a scale never before seen in Richmond — ispart of a $4 billion development wave sweeping over thecity centre.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie revealed Tuesday at a “Shapingour City” chamber of commerce luncheon that the biggestever single development application has dropped at cityhall.

The plan involves a four million square feet site on 30hectares of vacant land at Duck Island, just southwest ofthe River Rock Casino.

Proposed by Jinggong Development, understood to bea Chinese-based company, the project is called VancouverInternational Plaza (VIP) and includes six high-end hotels,1.1 million square feet of office space and a 450,000square foot trade and convention centre.

The plans — if approved; a process which could takeseveral years — are already being touted as a rival forinternational destinations such as the Staples Centre enter-tainment district in Los Angeles and similar operations inSydney and around the globe.

Referring to a map highlighting where the $4 billionworth of new residential and commercial development isnow under construction, being marketed or going throughthe planning approval process, Brodie said the Duck Islandapplication is an indication of the intense level of interestRichmond is generating in terms of global investment.

“It’s in the very early stages and will take a long time togo through the process,” Brodie told the chamber membersat the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel.

“But it does illustrate the significant potential we’reseeing in the city right now.”

Gary Pooni — of Vancouver-based Brooke PooniAssociates, which is acting as VIP’s project manager —said he couldn’t yet place a ballpark figure on the scale

Port bosses attempt to bridge city divide

They arrived on the behest of citycouncil with the hope of building afew bridges of trust, bearing in mindprevious meetings had devolved intofeisty verbal clashes.

But after being grilled once moreby mayor and council on its role inthe controversial aviation fuel pipelineplan, Port Metro Vancouver’s delega-tion will have left Richmond City HallMonday wary of how much faith saidspans will hold.

The port (PMV) is the federalentity of the so-called “harmonized”environmental review process — a

process which has been lambasted asbeing watered down by opponents ofa plan to barge aviation fuel up thesouth arm of the Fraser River and thenpipe it through Richmond to YVR.

PMV’s president and CEO, RobinSilvester, and its vice-president ofplanning and operations, Peter Xotta,faced city council and spoke of beingkeen on “collaboration and dialogue.”

Silvester explained to council thestep-by-step process of how the plan— proponents of which is a con-sortium of airlines which use YVR— will be reviewed and by whom.

A B.C. environmental review,conducted by the BC EnvironmentalReview Office (BCEAO), will be fol-lowed by a PMV-led federal environ-ment assessment, before a PMV proj-ect permit will or will not be issued.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie accusedPMV of having a conflict of interestin that it’s conducting a review intoa project that it would stand to gainfrom financially.

However, Silvester noted thatshould the permit be issued, “it willalso be referred to the city for review.

TEA PARTY

Photo Gallery: The RichmondMinoru Seniors Society

held its annual Tea Party atthe Cultural Centre, where

hats and parasols came outto shine. Check out www.

richmond-news.com

The Richmond Newseditorial team waslauded Saturday night atB.C. YukonCommunityNewspaperAssociation’sMa MurrayAwards, whereit took firstplace in the Artand CultureWriting catego-ry. It was alsohonoured withbronze in theFeature Photoand CommunityService categories.

The judges describedthe Arts alive in Richmondspecial edition as “Firstclass research, reportingand writing. The writers did

their homework and founda way to sustain interestfor their readers with each

article andthroughout theseries.”

Thethemed paperemployed thetalents of theentire edito-rial team, EveEdmonds, AlanCampbell,MichelleHopkins andphotographerChung Chow,

to explore the role of artsand culture in Richmond.

Meanwhile, Chow’sstunning photo of a chicka-dee in flight took bronzeand was described as fol-

lows: “Spot-on timing,colour and compositionmake a difficult-to-captureimage well-executed.”

The News’ food bankseries, Bank feeds city’sbody, mind and soulalso took bronze in theCommunity Service cat-egory.

“The Richmond Newswent a step further thansupporting the food bankthrough editorials andawareness,” stated thejudges.

“By taking it right intovolunteering and sharingthat experience, the rolemodeled what it means tobe of service to their com-munity.”

The BCYCNA is anon-profit organization

representing 120 commu-nity newspapers throughoutBritish Columbia and theYukon. The Ma MurrayAwards were named after

Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray, atenacious and outspokenfigure in Canadian journal-ism, who began her careerin the 1930s.

of the development because it’s at such an earlystage.

“We’re still looking at all the economicimpact studies for this and the scope of the proj-ect,” Pooni said.

“Following on from the Olympics andCanada Line, Richmond is the next big citythat’s to be put on the international stage.

“This will be an international entertainmentcomplex. The competition would be truly inter-national.

“We will be talking to the public in the verynear future about the ideas we have.”

The vast majority of the development andinvestment in question, Brodie pointed out,either surrounds or skirts the Canada Line or theOlympic oval district.

It’s all under control, he assured; it’s designedto densify around the city centre and is verymuch in line with Richmond’s City Centre AreaPlan (CCAP).

The CCAP was drafted several years ago todeal with the city’s projected population spikefrom the current 200,000 to 280,000 in 2041.

To put the expected concentrated growth into

perspective, the city centre’s population densityright now is 5,459 people per square kilome-tre. By 2041, that figure is forecast to almostdouble.

But it will still trail, Brodie indicated, waybehind the likes of Vancouver’s west end, whichsits at 21,834 per square kilometre.

We will not make a final decision on theproject until the process is complete.”

Silvester reminded council that PMV hascommissioned a Fraser River tanker study,adding that the results of the study will“inform PMV’s federal environmental assess-ment and project review.”

“The federal environmental review willnot conclude until Environment Canada hashad an opportunity to consider the project.”

Coun. Bill McNulty accused PMV ofdodging responsibility for the project. “No-one wants to take responsibility. Under whatkind of conditions would the permit not begranted?” asked McNulty.

Silvester countered that PMV is verymuch “taking responsibility for the reviewprocess. The things that have to be consideredare being taken care of by the studies.”

Coun. Harold Steves, arguably the fiercestopponent of the plan on council, demandedto know why, with PMV being the federalentity in the process, no public hearing isbeing called.

“This is not a process that triggers thathearing,” Silvester replied, insisting theBCEAO is running the process, not PMV.

Undeterred, Steves pointed the finger atthe delegation, accusing them of being the“judge and jury with regard to the tankers.”

After asking what the city had to do to geta public hearing, he was told by Silvester thathe’d need to speak to the provincial and fed-eral governments.

Coun. Ken Johnston reiterated the “poten-tial for disaster” with regard to the proposaland asked PMV why it couldn’t just say “no”

when it came to issuing the permit.“We would have to have a reason that was

objective rather than subjective not to doit,” Silvester replied. “It will either be ‘thisproject can be done with a mitigated risk, orit can’t.’”

Johnston added that the public percep-tion of the review process is horrendous.“The whole thing looks like you’re all in bedtogether.”

Brodie noted that PMV could put a span-ner in the works by simply refusing to leasethe land where the project’s fuel tank farmswill be located on the banks of the south arm.

“Again, we would have to have a reason(for saying no to the tank farms). The VAFFCcould challenge it and there are mechanics inplace for them to do that,” said Silvester.

“We would receive a small amount ofmoney for that land to be used. We want thisto be safe, should it go ahead.”

A successful motion put forward byBrodie called for the city to write to theprovincial and federal environment ministersand the local MLAs and MPs asking for apublic hearing to be part of the environmentalassessment process.

The delegation was also questioned aboutits policy to acquire land with a view todeveloping it for future port needs. “Landis needed to support jobs,” argued Silvester.“We are working on our land use planningprocess and we’ll be coming forward with amuch more detailed document.”

Silvester also told council that PMV hasno immediate plans for the recently acquiredGilmore Farms, adding that it is contracted tobe farmed for the foreseeable future.

The Dixon elementary gymnasiumbuzzed as about 100 Grade 7 studentsserved up pasta, decorated cupcakesand blow-torched pipes — all under thesupervision of willing Richmond highschool students and teachers.

This past week, the Grade 7s wereable to try their hand at new tradesduring the inaugural Career Expo.The Career Programs Office hostedthe event at Anderson elementary lastFriday and at Dixon elementary yester-day, with Cook and Gilmour attending.

Hair dressing, cooking, auto serviceand plumbing students from Richmondsecondary schools — armed with theirspecialized tools and knowledge —spent the mornings with the eager kids,ready to learn about the four programs.

“The apprenticeship students reallyenjoyed it,” said Career Programs dis-trict coordinator Terri Lockhart. “It

was an opportunity to share their skills,and they showed a lot of pride in theirwork.”

The idea was to introduce the kidsto what secondary schools have tooffer when they reach high school. Themajority of apprenticeship programsare designed for Grade 12 students, butexposing the trades to younger gradesgives them more time to think abouttheir electives, according to Lockhart.

Although the programs are not new,Lockhart said raising their popularityhas been difficult. So, as a new team atthe Career Programs Office, they decid-ed to create the Expo, with hopes that itwill become an annual event.

“It is a challenge to get the word outthere and to increase the awareness thatthese are being offered,” said Lockhart.“Some of the staff don’t even knowabout them. It’s also to inform parents.”

The mornings were divided into fourworkshops — Splitting Hairs, Yummyin the Tummy, Pit Crew Relay and Pipe

Dreams. Students rotated through thecircuit learning how to screw in hub-caps or braid hair. Local businesses alsodonated door prizes.

Kids walked away excited and inter-ested in their newfound opportunitiesover the next few years, said Lockhart.

“It was fabulous. The kids werereally involved and came up to me aftertelling me what they wanted to pursuein high school. It was quite cute.”

The Career Programs Office is cur-rently amidst applications for next year’sapprenticeship programs. Generally,students apply at the end of Grade 11for the following year. “It’s important tonote that these programs are just elec-tives,” said Lockhart. “Students can stillgo on to university afterwards.”

Kwantlen University, for example,partners with the auto service program,allowing the Grade 12s to spend themonth of May at the university.

Canada Post’s new $200-million process-ing plant on Sea Island looks set to play anintegral role in the country’s e-commercedrive. The now under-construction plant nextto YVR on Ferguson Road is being built tosustain and grow the carrier’s connections tothe Far East, plugging deeper into the PacificRim economy.

The Hon. Steven Fletcher, Minister ofState (Transport), and Canada Post presi-dent and CEO Deepak Chopra revealed onThursday the strategic role the plant willplay as the gateway for e-commerce ship-ments from Pacific Rim economies entering

Canada’s largest home delivery and retailnetwork.

“With the growth of e-commerce, we arepositioning ourselves as a strong and reliablelink between Canada and the Far East,” saidChopra.

By 2014, the 700,000-square-footCanada Post Pacific Processing Centre at theVancouver International Airport will con-nect e-commerce merchants and consumers,the fastest-growing sector of the deliverybusiness. The strategic investment is part ofCanada Post’s $2-billion, multi-year modern-ization program to build a postal system forthe 21st century.

New Post to help serve Far East

A man who may have been suffering froma methamphetamines-induced psychosis inJanuary 2008, when he strangled to death aRichmond woman, has been sentenced to 12years in jail.

Xin Fu Zhu, 50, was initially chargedwith second-degree murder in the slaying ofRuo Yu “Lucy” Cao, 26. But, on Tuesday,he pleaded guilty to the lesser and includedoffence of manslaughter.

Cao’s body was found in her condo byher landlord after she had not been seen fora time. Drugs and drug paraphernalia werefound in the suite and both Zhu and Cao hadbeen consuming meth at the time.

In imposing sentence Friday, B.C.Supreme Court Justice Laura Gerow notedthat Zhu likely surprised Cao from behindwhen he strangled her.

Attacker loses appealA man who terrorized and assaulted his

wife over her infidelity, including an attackwith a baseball bat while she and her newpartner were sleeping, has lost his sentenceappeal.

Bruce William MacDonald pleaded guiltyto 12 offences against his estranged wife,Farah Dubash and Karl Zeeso, her new part-ner. The crimes began in September 2010,when MacDonald suspected his wife washaving an affair and uttered several deaththreats against her and Zeeso.

MacDonald, 57 at the time of the offences,received a sentence of 5 ½ years in prison.

On appeal, he argued that the judge erredin that his sentence was not similar to othersentences imposed on similar offenders andthat it was disproportionate and demonstrablyunfit.

But a three-member panel of the B.C.Court of Appeal has dismissed his appeal.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Funding public transportation is the Lower Mainland’sown version of the Gordian Knot, and it’s a rare municipal orprovincial politician willing to risk their career on slicing itapart. Shame on them.

The options are no mystery. We could hike up propertytaxes, we could toll our bridges and other major routes, wecould levy every ICBC customer, or we could raise taxes ongasoline. Increasing fares does seem counterproductive interms of reducing gridlock. We could also raise income taxesand put a larger chunk of that aside for transit.

Depending on where you live, how much your home isworth, what kind of car you drive, how much you earn andwhat your commute looks like, one or more of these optionsturns into a really good reason to vote someone out of office.

Compounding this problem is an extremely vulnerablepremier who thinks economic populism might be a way out ofthe hole she and her predecessor have dug.

Public transportation is a societal good. Moving workersaround our region is imperative for the economic health ofevery one of us, whether we drive or not.

The solution is likely one where the pain is spread aroundand everyone is equally angry.

But trying to ignore the fact that transit costs money is aterrible disservice to everyone who has to go to work in themorning.

Could history repeat itself for the NDP?

The B.C. Liberals arean easily annoyed bunchthese days, but one thing inparticular seems to stick intheir craw.

That would be compar-ing their situation to thatfaced by the crumblingSocial Credit dynasty in therun-up to the 1991 election.I touched on a few parallelsa couple of weeks back.Here’s another potential par-allel: watching the NDP winbyelections in ridings whereno one had ever given thema chance before.

On Thursday, there aretwo key byelections in theridings of Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope. The NDP appearsto be the favourite in PortMoody-Coquitlam, wherethe party’s candidate is for-mer Port Moody mayor JoeTrasolini.

The NDP candidate tookalmost 40 per cent of thevote in the last election,which is a pretty solid baseto build on. Throw in a veryunpopular government, thefact the Green Party is notrunning a candidate and thestage appears to be set foran NDP win.

But the Chilliwack-Hoperesult has the potential to godown as a pivotal historicmoment in B.C. politics. Itcould be a surprise win bya sitting government, whichmay staunch the bleedingit has been suffering in thepolls.

Or, perhaps more likely,the byelection result mayend up being compared tosome of the byelection loss-es piled up by the Socreds

in that party’s waning days.A number of the Socred

byelection losses (underthen-premier Bill VanderZalm) were unique not somuch because the govern-ment lost them, but becausethe NDP won them. TheNDP took seats in theCariboo, the Okanagan andin the posh riding of OakBay in the capital region.

All three seats had beenSocred strongholds foryears, and the NDP wasnever given any hope ofwinning in them. But winthey did, which under-scored the fact the presidinggovernment was not onlytremendously unpopular,but teetering on the verge ofcollapse.

Could we see thesame scenario unfold inChilliwack-Hope? It cer-tainly seems possible, sincethis seems to be a three-wayfight, which could splitthe centre-right vote justenough for the NDP to win.

The NDP grabbed 33per cent of the vote in 2009.Assuming most of theGreen party’s support goesthe NDP’s way, it wouldappear the NDP will have amuch stronger showing onThursday.

Of course, if theConservatives win theseat, it will also rank as a

history-making moment.The party hasn’t elected anMLA in almost 35 years,and gaining a foothold inthe legislature could haveenormous implications forthe party and the one it’strying to take down.

There’s no upside forthe B.C. Conservatives tomake nice with the Liberals.They’d be swallowed up ina formal merger, and wouldbe the junior partner in anycoalition arrangement.

The party also seemsto be taking the long view,realizing a win in the nextprovincial election is ratherunlikely. But kicking theLiberals to the curbside iscertainly possible, settingthe stage for a two-partyfight in the 2017 election.

All of which brings usback to those comparisonsto the last days of the SocialCredit dynasty. The partywas replaced by anotherfree enterprise alternative,which only gained powerafter it moved closer to thepolitical middle than thehard right.

That may be the biggestchallenge facing the B.C.Conservatives: if it insistson simply being a provincialversion of the old federalReform party, it may neveractually form government.

As for New Democrats,I can’t help but suspectthey’re looking back fondlyat the run-up to the ‘91election that saw them gainpower, with the hope thathistory is repeating itself.

Keith Baldrey is chiefpolitical reporter for GlobalBC.

The Editor,Re: “Street Meet triggers food fight in Steveston,” News,

April 11.I have discussed this idea of food trucks with a few people,

and this seems to be the consensus: With all due respect to thesmall business person owning a food truck, a bad idea is still abad idea.

What is really remarkable is that city council okayed thisfrom the beginning — even as a test. This city is already heavilyladen with restaurants. These restaurants pay fortunes in rent,garbage pickup, licensing and inspections. They also pay a hugeamount in taxes for property, sewer and water. To then slap themin the face by allowing food trucks is preposterous.

To suggest food trucks be parked outside Canada Line sta-tions is also wrong. Transit passengers are asked not to bringfood or drink on the train already. The garbage and smells on thetrains would rapidly become unbearable, but perhaps this councilthinks, “Hey, somebody else’s problem.”

And then there is the issue of garbage and food left behindon the trains. Perhaps someone on council may have heard ofthe rat problems we have in the Lower Mainland? We also don’thave public seating to satisfy people who choose to dine onthe streets. Perhaps city representatives should get themselvesinvolved and look at the limited amount of parks we have andpark several trucks at each and let them fight over the availablecustomers.

Maybe it would drive prices down, and, of course, food trucksthen would be the losers. With the current situation, only thefood trucks are the winners. I can certainly sympathize with res-taurant owners in this situation.

The Editor,I understand that it is very difficult to

convince the public that the city’s visitto Xiamen is worthwhile, given that thebenefits of such a trip are not immediate,tangible and sometimes hard to measure.However, I can honestly say that this isnot a vacation trip.

The purpose of this visit is to con-solidate and formalize the city’s relation-ship with Xiamen. The city has takenalmost 10 years to build this relationship.Xiamen is not an ordinary Chinese city.It is one of the major special economiczones in China and has a very strongeconomy based on international businessand new technology.

It will be beneficial to Richmondto have strong ties with this city andgood opportunities will be created forus in many fields. That is why we willalso have representatives (who are pay-ing for the trip through their own orga-nizations) from the Richmond Boardof Education, Richmond Chamber ofCommerce, Tourism Richmond, KwantlenPolytechnic University and TrinityWestern University joining the city’s del-egation.

I envision that businesses in Richmondwill find new markets and investors, thetourism industry will serve many morenew customers, the number of interna-tional students in our high schools anduniversities will keep growing and our

arts and cultural groups will find newopportunities for overseas performances.

Two years ago, the XiamenPhilharmonic Orchestra visited and per-formed in Richmond. Perhaps, it willbe the turn for our artists to performin Xiamen next time. Everybody inRichmond will benefit directly or indi-rectly.

Richmond is truly the gateway ofCanada, but has been slow to takeadvantage of this. Richmond shouldemerge from the old mindset of beingVancouver’s backyard and repositionitself as a centre for international tradeand business, tourism and technologicaland ecological innovation.

We can show the world, and the restof Canada, what we can accomplish asa vibrant city. But, we can do that onlyby strengthening our ties with cities likeXiamen. It is perhaps interesting to notethat the City of Burnaby has 10 Sisterand Friendship Cities in Quebec, the U.S.,Britain, China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea.Richmond has only three Sister Cities(Xiamen included) and one FriendshipCity.

I thank the authors of the letters sentto me or published in the newspapersabout the city’s trip. They have sent mea strong reminder that I must alwaysremember whom I am serving.

The Editor,Re: “Government

strikes out,” Opinion,March 28.

I want to commend youfor your excellent edito-rial on March 28, entitled“Government strikes out.”

I agree with you com-pletely. Too many peopletoday know nothing aboutwhy unions originated.

The right to strike wasvery hard won — oftenwith people’s lives.

Government legislatedthe right of people to bar-gain collectively withmanagement and the rightto strike if necessary.

Now governments seemto be finding holes inthose labour laws by arbi-trarily declaring any work-ers’ group as “essential”when they want to emas-culate that group.

That may work in theshort run, but as individu-als see their working rightsbeing eroded, their frustra-tion will grow.

People need to wake upto their collective powerand use their vote.

Again, thank you foryou succinct comments.You got it right

Working together and overcoming adver-sity were the themes of Mike Harcourt’skeynote address at the Richmond Chamber ofCommerce’s 10th Annual 911 Awards held atthe River Rock Show Theatre Thursday.

The self-described “recovering politician”knows something of both — politically andpersonally. Harcourt described how witness-ing a deadly fire in the downtown eastsidespurred him to work with firefighters, politi-cians and others to introduce a new fire code.

He talked about Streetohome, an organi-zation that unites business, government andcommunity leaders in a fight against home-

lessness.But if ever there was a day when the

importance of working together and overcoming diversity hit home, it was the day he“took a swan dive over (his) balcony at lowtide.”

Harcourt laughs about it now, and assuredthe audience he has since “Harcourtizedthe balcony” (meaning, put a railing aroundit.) But at the time, (November 2002) manythought he may not recover from that near-fatal fall at his cottage on Pender Island,which resulted in a severe spinal-cord injury.

He not only fell off his 10-foot high bal-cony, but then proceeded to tumble over a20-foot high cliff.

While the fall was nothing but a calamity,he describes what happened after as “a seriesof miracles,” in which a host of first respond-ers — fire fighters, coast guards, ambulanceworkers — snapped into action and eventu-ally landed him in a helicopter on the roof ofVancouver General Hospital, where there justhappened to be one of the leading experts inspinal cord injuries on call.

The hospital’s “tender love” was followedby GF Strong’s “tough love.” A doctor theretold him he’d be in for six months and leavein a wheelchair.

He corrected the MD and explained, infact, he would be in for three months andleave with no wheelchair — he had a golftournament to attend, after all.

So began Harcourt’s life chapter on over-coming diversity, which he describes in hisbook Plan B.

Harcourt’s address was in keeping withevening’s theme of cooperation and courage.

The Richmond Chamber of Commerce’sAnnual 911 Awards is a one-of-a-kindevent in that it honours all first responders,Harcourt told the audience. It recognizesand celebrates the notion that no one goes italone. It’s together that we make a safe com-munity.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie also drove thatpoint home by opening the evening with atribute to more than two dozen citizens who“sprang into action to rush to the aid of oth-ers in distress.”

Brodie was referring to the plane thatcrash landed near Russ Baker shortly aftertake off last October.

The pilot and co-pilot died, but all sevenpassengers got out alive, thanks in largepart to people in the area who ran to thescene and began pulling passengers from thefiery wreckage before emergency personnelarrived. While acknowledging the importanceof professional first responders, Brodie alsonoted, “each of us has a responsibility to keepthe community safe.”

However, the main intent of the evening,with the River Rock’s Howard Blank as MC,was to pay tribute to the men and women inuniform who go beyond the call of duty intheir commitment to keep Richmond safe.

As the patient wasbeing removed by stretcherfrom the residence by thefirst crew, critical careparamedics Darren Chyzzyand Brian Reichert arrivedon scene.

Bygrave has alsobecome a valuable con-tributor to the marine patroland coastal watch programsin Richmond.

Additionally, Bygraveregularly assists regularmembers on the general

duty watches, averagingthree to four shifts permonth.

When there have beenemergency call-outs ofthe auxiliary constables toassist, he is one of the firstmembers to be on duty.

When the call came forassistance at the plane crashon Sea Island last year,Bygrave had already left hisday job and was on route toprovide whatever assistancehe could.

Always willing to per-form any duty asked whilemaintaining a superior levelof professionalism, Bygravehas quickly become aleader within Richmond’sRCMP auxiliary constableprogram.

Since the release of the documentaryWho Killed the Electric Car? in 2006, NorthAmericans have been speculating about thefuture of technology as it relates to theirbeloved automobile.

Director Chris Paine’s insightful film, nar-rated by Martin Sheen, investigates the birthand death of the electric car, as well as therole of renewable energy and sustainable liv-ing in the future.

Fast forward to 2012, and thanks to for-ward-thinking individuals, and fortuitouslyfor the driving population, electricity as apower source for vehicles has been resur-rected. But both the vehicles and the com-muting requirements of consumers need tobe considered, along with the environmentalimpact and the potential cost savings overusing fossil fuels.

But these new battery-laden vehicles mustbe charged by electricity, and the bigger thebatteries are, the more time it takes to chargethem, and power to do it. New and traditionalsources for electric power include hydroelec-tric, wind turbine, solar and burning coal.

Fortunately in B.C., hydroelectric poweris currently plentiful, so we are able to takecare of recharging said batteries without alot of trouble, aside from erecting the neces-

sary infrastructure (such as charging stationsin condos or workplaces) to provide conve-nience in a fast-paced world.

Locally, the electric avenues are filling up,slowly but surely. At the recent VancouverInternational Auto Show, the showcase offully electric, extended range electrics andhybrid cars and SUV’s were plentiful, as weredisplays of incentive programs and chargingsolutions.

The major players in the marketplaceinclude the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf.These vehicles have about a 40k price-point,out of reach for many consumers at themoment. In effect, the first wave of buyersends up paying for the research, design andtechnology that facilitated the car’s launch.It’s tough to convince a new car buyer tohand over ‘x’ when they can pick up a new,fuel-efficient small family car for half the

Plug in orgas up?

Battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehiclesare becoming increasinglypopular with consumers andthe auto industry. Consumerswant to go green, while theauto industry is under morepressure than ever to lever-age technology to reducegreenhouse gas emissionsthrough the vehicles theyproduce.

Here’s some basic infor-mation that’s important toknow. Both battery electricand plug-in hybrid electricvehicles need to be pluggedin to charge their on-boardbatteries.

Battery electric vehiclesare 100 per cent electric anduse an electric propulsionsystem for all phases of driv-ing. All their power comesfrom a zero-emission electricmotor, powered by electric-ity from large rechargeablebattery packs inside thevehicle. The vehicles must beplugged in while not in useto charge these battery packs.

Plug-in hybrid electricvehicles use both an electricmotor and an internal com-bustion engine. The electricmotor is similar to that ofthe battery electric vehiclesbut you won’t get caught onthe road with a dead batterybecause the internal combus-tion engine kicks in beforethis happens.

Electric drive vehicles aresubstantially more efficientthan their combustion enginecounterparts. And we’re nottalking fuel efficiency here.The energy conversion effi-ciency from on-board stor-age to turning the wheels isnearly five times greater forelectricity compared to gaso-line, at about 76 per cent and16 per cent respectively.

Here are some waysto conserve battery powerwhen driving both types ofvehicles:❚ Climate control — turningup the heat or air condition-ing will reduce the vehicle’sdriving range as more energyis used to heat or cool thecabin.❚ Speed — on the highwaythe faster you go the moreenergy you use, therebyreducing driving range.❚ Driving style — aggressiveacceleration and decelera-tion will also reduce drivingrange.❚ Cargo weight and terrain— heavy cargo and driv-ing up steep hills will alsoreduce driving range.

price.Then there are the high-end elec-

trics, like the Fisker Karma, whichhits the triple-digits. A dealershiphas just opened in Vancouver on

West Fifth Avenue (fiskerofvancou-ver.com), if drivers care to sniff outelectric bliss.

But in order to plug in, auto-mobile buyers have to buy in. TheClean Energy Vehicles for B.C.

(cevforbc.ca) program is a goodstart, where consumers can apply forthe CEV Incentive Program throughlocal dealerships that sell or leasequalifying new battery electric,fuel cell, plug-in hybrid electric, or

compressed natural gas vehicles.Offering $5,000 off the pre-tax priceper eligible clean energy vehicle, it’san incentive to contribute to B.C.’scarbon neutral achievements andgreener transportation options.

Make your home efficientAre you trying to live a healthier lifestyle

and make better choices for you and yourfamily?

These values apply to the houses we livein as well. Today, many Canadians are buy-ing, renovating and building homes that taketheir family’s health and comfort into consid-eration. For example, with initiatives like theR-2000 Standard and ENERGY STAR forNew Homes, you can work with your builderto incorporate energy efficiency upgradesinto your home before it’s built.

The R-2000 Standard and ENERGYSTAR for New Homes are Natural ResourcesCanada’s Office of Energy Efficiency ini-tiatives. By integrating energy efficientupgrades at the design stage, you can decidewhich measures to take that will best suityour family.

For example energy efficient windows tokeep heat in and prevent condensation; extrainsulation and tight construction to minimizewinter drafts and cold spots; and a mechani-cal ventilation system to help make yourhouse fresh and comfortable all year round.

The use of healthier building materialsduring the construction of your home providea healthier environment as fewer chemicalsare released into the air. And when youchoose to buy a new energy efficient homethat meets the R-2000 standard, you oftenhave even more choices when it comes to

features that can improve the health and com-fort of your family.

If you are instead thinking of renovatingyour home, an EnerGuide evaluation canhelp you implement improvements to addresssimilar concerns. Having a certified energyadvisor undertake an evaluation providesyou with a current rating, an assessment ofyour home’s energy efficiency potential anda prioritized list of recommended upgradesthat will not only save energy, but provide amore comfortable home. It may also qualifyyou to participate in local incentive programs.Information is available on NRCan’s websiteat: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/homes

Passion keeps boxing coach coming back for moreKen McInnis has worked with young amateurs for over 30 years even though finding a home for his club has been a challenge


Lights Out Boxing’s Ken McInnis puts 15-year-old Mohammad Elburai through a workout session at the club’s newlocation at Razor Fitness on Westminster Highway.

Even in the middle ofan interview Ken McInniscan’t help himself.

“Come on guys! Getmoving,” he belts out whileattempting to put about adozen or so young box-ers through their warm-uproutine.

For over 30 yearsMcInnis has been coach-ing amateur boxers and hispassion is unwavering eventhough he has faced plentyof obstacles along the way.

His Lights Out BoxingClub is now at its thirdaddress in the past 10 years,this time located on theupper floor at Razor Fitness(#140 6351 WestminsterHighway). He is gratefulthe facility’s owner waswilling to take on a newtenant at a reasonable priceafter McInnis was givenshort notice to leave theclub’s old location on No.6 Road.

Prior to that there wasa stop at Sports Centralin North Richmond and it

all started at the StevestonCommunity Centre whereLights Out was then knownas the Steveston Boxing

Club.So what keeps him going

when it would have been soeasy “to throw in the towel”

on his coaching career?It definitely isn’t the

money. McInnis charges hisboxers only $40 a month for

three two-hour sessions perweek. That is just enough tocover rent and his overheadcosts.

“I have been in and outof boxing since 1980 andprobably 25 percent of mysocial life is boxing peo-ple,” he explained. “I’m notyoung anymore but at thesame time not too old to say‘that’s it’ either.

“The owner of this gymis a very good guy who hashelped us out a lot. Thisway I am able to make itaffordable for the kids andI have always tried to do itthat way. Sure you couldcharge $80 or $100 butafter one or two months youwon’t see them again.”

At one time, McInnis ranwhat was considered the topclub in B.C. His fighterswere winning national titlesand representing the prov-ince at multi-sport competi-tions such as the CanadaSummer Games on a regu-lar basis. Lights Out hostedthe B.C. Golden GlovesChampionships — consid-ered the premier event foramateur boxers — and wasnamed B.C. Boxing’s Clubof the Year.

SportsBoxing: young athletes step into the ring to compliment other sports

The growing interest in MMA(Mixed Martial Arts) has shrunkhis stable of potential fightersbut he says the sport is back onthe upswing again, especiallywith young athletes looking for across-training sport.

Currently, Richmond hasthree options for pugilists withHarrison Boxing and the Packof Wild Dogs (P.O.W.D) CombatClub also offering sessions for allages and levels.

One of McInnis’ students hada bout on the weekend and thenext day was helping RichmondUnited advance to the semi-finalsin Coastal Cup play. Soccer hasalways been Nik Radosevic’s firstlove but he still finds the time totrain on a regular basis and stepinto the ring as well.

“I think soccer players havebetter lungs than most fighters sothat has helped me,” smiled the17-year-old who says his box-ing career will soon come to an

end as heads to UBC next fallto study engineering. “It seemed

like when I was young that I wasalways fighting bigger guys but

now I am one of them. I’ve hadsome success because I just hated

losing. Even in sparring, if I lost,I would be in tears.”

For every young fighter likeRadosevic, who comes andgoes through McInnis’ program,another comes along like 14-year-old Michael Rankin. TheMcRoberts secondary rugbyplayer was seeking another sportto try and signed up for boxinglast fall.

“We call him “The Prodigy”because he just seems like a natu-ral,” said McInnis.

“I just thought with boxingit will keep me really fit andit’s self-defence as well,” saidRankin. “I started out just look-ing at the training side of it but ithas become more interesting andfun. My first sport is definitelyrugby but I would like to keepdoing both for a while.”

Lights Out Boxing run ses-sions on Monday, Wednesday andThursday nights from 7-9 p.m.For more information call 604-754-8658.
