Final weekend of month-long celebration in the village set for Buck and Ear

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

It’s shaping up to be an epic battle between businesses in Steveston Sunday—a sausage store versus a bike shop.

Sure, D Original Sausage Haus and Village Bikes aren’t usual competitors—one specializes in bratwurst and salami, the other in two-wheeled transportation—but the village stores are the last ones standing in a one-of-a-kind World Cup event in Steveston.

Thirty-two local businesses adopt-ed a country ahead of this summer’s soccer championship. D Original Sausage Haus is representing Ger-many; Village Bikes has Argentina.

“I predict a win of course. It’s not going to be a 7-1, but it is going to be a win,” said Jens Hertha, owner of D Original, noting Germany’s drub-bing of Brazil in a semi-fi nal game Tuesday. “They’re the best team there. From what we’ve seen, no-body can beat them.”

Hertha grew up in Germany, and with his shop’s entirely unsubtle de-cor of black, red and yellow, there’s no mistaking his allegiance. Cus-tomers have gotten used to seeing the fl ag, along with his First Avenue sidewalk barbecue celebrations on game days.

“It’s been a blast. We had street parties for all the games, we’ve had lots of people out. It was a great month,” he said.

For Steveston Merchants Associa-tion president Jim van der Tas, the month-long celebration has been great for the village, but bittersweet for his restaurant Wednesday. That’s when the Dutch fell to Argentina in a scoreless match decided by penalty kicks—a game watched by orange-clad soccer fans who packed his Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant.

And just as soccer is part of many nations’ community fabric, the event has helped build a sense of commu-nity in Steveston, said van der Tas.

“It’s great walking through the vil-lage every single day, seeing people holding events, and all the support everyone is giving each other. It’s awesome.”

The mood was more jubilant for a handful of fans catching the action on a small TV inside Village Bikes on Moncton Street. Owner Brett Mar-tyniuk has decorated the shop in the sky blue and white of the Argentine fl ag.

After the win, the empanada-lov-ing bike shop proudly boasted on Facebook: “Viva Argentina!”

This weekend, the Buck and Ear will host a two-day party celebrat-ing the end of the World Cup. At 1 p.m. Saturday, the pub will screen the third-place match between Bra-zil and the Netherlands. Then on Sunday at noon, the fi nal game—Germany versus Argentina—will be on the TV screens.

Tickets, available at the Buck (12111 Third Ave.), are $25 per day,

and include a pint of Carlsberg, a burger and prize draws. Rick Han-sen will watch the fi nal with fans

at the Buck Sunday, in recognition of the community’s fundraising ef-forts with the Rick Hansen Founda-

tion during the World Cup to make Steveston’s playground accessible. The Man in Motion will also be at

the Steveston Park playground be-fore the match, meeting locals from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

Over ten years ago, in the Spring of 2003, the BC Ministry of Transportation issued a Final Report on Posted Speed

Limits and Speed Limit Setting Practices in British Columbia prepared by engineers at Wade-Trim, a Michigan-based professional engineering fi rm. Th e focus was on highway and not on municipal speed limits. Th e executive summary begins by setting out the following concepts, based on “years of experience and observation” fundamental to establishing realistic speed zones:

“Th e majority of motorists drive at a speed they consider reasonable, and safe for road, traffi c, and environmental conditions. Posted limits which are set higher or lower than dictated by roadway and traffi c conditions are ignored by the majority of motorists.

Th e normally careful and competent actions of a reasonable person should be considered legal.

A speed limit should be set so that the majority of motorists observe it voluntarily and enforcement can be directed to the minority of off enders.

A driver’s choice of speed can impose risks on other road users. Crash severity increases with increasing speeds because in a collision, the amount of kinetic energy dissipated is proportional to the square of the velocity. Crashes, however, appear to depend less on speed and more on the variation in speeds. Th e likelihood of a crash occurring is signifi cantly greater for motorists traveling at speed slower and faster than the mean speed of traffi c.

Maximum speed limits are set for ideal road, traffi c, and environmental conditions.”

Establishing realistic speed zones, the report says, is important because:

1. By conforming to the behaviour of the majority and providing a “clear reminder to violators,” realistic speed zones invite public compliance.

2. Th ey assist the courts as guidance to “a reasonable and prudent speed” thereby reducing arbitrary enforcement and conviction.

3. Th ey ensure “that the requirements and intent of Provincial and local laws and ordinances are met.”

Th e report also describes, approvingly, the government’s speed zone setting practices, noting that, “Th e Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Transportation approves posted speed limits … [using] Technical Circular T-10/00, which includes the Institute of Engineers (ITE) document entitled Speed Zone Guidelines – A Proposed Recommended Practice, to assess speed limits. Th e practice considers the 85th percentile speed (the speed at or below which 85 percent of the motorists are traveling), road geometry, roadside development, and crash history. Th e provincial posted speed limit is subject to a 50 km/h minimum and 110 km/h maximum limit.”

Ten years later, after many new highway upgrades, and much review, consultation, and debate, some of the above-noted report’s recommendations are refl ected in speed limit increases announced on July 2nd by Todd Stone, BC’s Minister of Transportation, on approximately 1,300 kilometres of highway. Most increases are limited to 10 km/hr and will be phased in over the summer on stretches of highways in the Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon, the Sea to Sky, Vancouver Island and the Southern Interior.

As discussion and speculative forecasting swirls around this announcement, Road Rules readers may fi nd it helpful to keep in mind the fundamental concepts behind establishing realistic speed zones.

Police are looking to reunite a latched case, seized from an aban-doned property, with its owner.

In a news release issued Wednesday, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said the owner should be able to tell police what’s inside.

“We don’t want to re-veal too much because we believe the con-tents of the box have some value and should go back to the original owner.”

Police say the case came from a property “near Steveston High-way.” Anyone who recog-nizes the box is encour-aged to contact Ashton at 604-278-1212.

What are three things stuck to my fence

by Bob NilesContributor

Last week I was cutting the heads off the

clover with my poor excuse for a gas lawn mower when it hit me.

No it caught me. The morning glory vine from the neighbours yard reached out and grabbed me. I responded as I do when any one touches me by screaming and swatting at them. I have issues, so says my bruised doctor.

The vine from hell (VFH) scratched me! This is new I screamed as I tried to lift the lawn mower high enough to sever its spin-dly arm. Contact!

I don’t know how many times the lawn mower spun around before it stalled, but it was enough to knock several boards off the fence and me to the ground. My poor excuse for a lawn mower was now five feet in the air and wound tight to the fence.

“Well I can break my glasses and throw them away. I’ve seen every-thing now!” I shout out at the neighbour in her bathroom window.

I got up to free my lawn mower off the fence that I borrowed from my brother three years ago. He’s probably given up thinking I’d ever return it, but come Friday I was go-ing to prove him wrong. That’s if I could unwind this piece of junk off the fence.

I blindly reached through the fence to pull at the VFH when it bit me again. Then it grabbed hold of my arm with kit-ten like claws and said

‘Wait right there!’ I’m arm deep into the neighbour’s yard,... stuck. Now both the lawn mower and my-self look like some weird fridge magnets stuck on the fence.

I cowboy up and just pull on my arm as needle points etch bloody linear roads down the length of my arm. I haven’t been this scratched up since I tried to baptize the cat.

“Boy that doesn’t look good!” I yell at the top of my voice. “Probably looks worse than it really is though!” But still shepp remained in front of the window.

I reach in my pocket for my pocket knife and take solace they never named it an underwear knife. I start to cut at the kitten claw vine that’s hanging onto my brothers soon to be returned piece of junk lawn mower. I discover my VFH is made up of two vines. This is morning glory wrapped around blackberry runners. The perfect weed! A weed you can’t kill or pull.

I don’t have to tell you how hard it is to kill a

blackberry bush. Just like I don’t have to tell you what I saw in the open bathroom window. Just know that one of them needs a lot of cutting with a razor sharp blade. There’ll be a lot of scratch-es, some blood and pain, and so will the other.

These two vines are one of these symbiotic relationships you see on the science channel. Like the oxpecker bird and the rhino, remoras and sharks and panda bears and kan-garoos both living in har-mony together. The weak but very efficient growing vine of the morning glory with its large white trum-peting flowers attract bees that pollinate both vine and bush.

Wrapping itself around the thorny runners of the blackberry bush discour-ages anyone from trying to find a source to the morning glory to pull. Gol--lly a perfect mar-riage made in hell. It can’t be stopped! The whole world is going to be taken over by the black morn-ing glory berry bush. “I can see it all now, it’s hor-

rible, shut the curtains!”I walk, no run to the

hardware store wonder-ing why I didn’t drive. They’ll have some poison to do away with my little friend. I make it to the end of the driveway, winded, and change my mind. I will drive!

Two minutes later I’m back in the house on the computer wondering where it was I was going to go in the car. I type in ‘hoe to kill black betty bush’ and because of my poor typing skills and ex-president George Bush having a relative named Betty I’m now on some list. So then I change the wording from hoe to how and kill to poison....again with the police!

If this bush from hell were in my yard I’d have a fighting chance of hack-ing away at it but it hides between the neighbours garage and my fence. It strikes out into my yard by the Morning glory vine pulling the blackberry bush along at speeds equal to a pensioner heading to Denny’s on his birthday.

I can’t go in the neigh-bour’s yard to attack this beast as their beast and dog both hate me. They want to annoy me. Can I help it if I’m a Peeping Tom with Tourettes syn-drome. Talk about a bad symbiotic relationship! Quietly climbing the tree for a peek only to yell a rude insult at my victim. Just for once I’d like to report that I’m seeing somebody new and that they haven’t seen me yet. Two days later

Well it’s Friday and the lawn mower is still look-ing like a fridge magnet on a fence. I’ll have to borrow my brother’s other mower or my other brother’s mower to cut the heads off the clover and the three dandelions poking through my dead lawn.

The neighbour bought new boards and fixed the fence. Said it was too easy for me to criticize his wife from the apple tree since their dog got out of the yard and ran away.

He’s now watering and fertilizing that bush from hell. I think he’s feeding it meat! I cut at it, hack at it and try to set it on fire but with little success. It’s a daily fight at this time of year.

Blackberries are now in season and the wife has taken a real liking to them. But I’ve got so much ‘Weedkill’ on the bush I’d never eat them for fear of...........?!!

“Honey I’m going out to pick more berries! If i pick enough berries you make a pie for Pete and Judy? Kind of a piece offering to make up for my critique of Judy. What’s that? Sure I’ll pick a pail for you too. No problem.

I may have lost this battle but this war’s not over.

Blackberries, morning glory and my lawn mower

It’s been a long time com-ing, but a spell of hot summer weather is with

us, and will likely be for at least the next few days.

Farmers are taking advantage of the weather to cut and cure hay, and sunbathers are taking full advantage of the rays. Hope-fully, most of them are using sunscreen, as the UV level from the sun is quite high.

While the weather this spring

and summer has been pretty good for the most part, it has not been hot, except for a few isolated days. That is now chang-ing.

It started to get hot on Monday and weather forecasts call for it to last into next week.

Weather like this always seems to take its time in getting here, but when it arrives, few people are unhappy. As we live in a damp and generally cool climate, this type of weather is

a far cry from the norm. And the fact that it still cools down in the evenings make it much easier to take as well.

It’s a good time to plan on taking part in favourite summer activities over the next week. There are no shortage of them — cycling, walking, running, farm tourism, boating, sunbath-ing, swimming and many, many others.

While doing so, think about doing something new and dif-

ferent — and something that is right in your own backyard in Richmond. There are so many interesting things to do here, yet many Richmond residents don’t know about them. Consult our 101 things to do in Richmond starting on page 12. When you do, you will discover something very interesting and unique about this community, and chances are, it will be something you enjoy doing.

EDITORIAL: Hot fun in the summertime

Bob Niles illustrationThis is morning glory wrapped around blackberry runners. The perfect weed!

Editor:In reference to the letter from Ralph and Edith

Turner (“Another neighbourhood may soon be destroyed,” Letters July 4) regarding the prop-erty at 3471 Chatham St. in Steveston, we find their N.I.M.B.Y. attitude and wrong information towards this project very inappropriate.

The proposed development is not an intrusion into a block of single family homes. The G&F Bank building sat on this property for almost 40 years. The entire north side of Chatham Street from No. 1 Road to the west side of this prop-erty is zoned commercial. We intend to build within this zoning.

After listening to the neighbours and various city committees, in order to transition into the existing neighbourhood, we have completely redesigned the building to “Heritage Style” by using the Sakamoto Report Facade Guidelines. The old bank building was taken apart piece by piece so as to recycle as much of the material as possible, and save the Leonard Epp designed artistic concrete panels from the old G&F Bank to incorporate into the new building facade.

The increase in density is something the Ste-veston merchants desire, as this development adds many more customers that can walk to the village. The neighbours will not lose their sunlight, privacy, character and appeal as the new building will be at least 40 feet from north neighbour’s back fence and at least 22 feet from the west neighbour’s back fence. Almost the entire west side of the property is covered by the neighbour’s trees which measure from 34 to 60 feet in height and shade most of their yard.

The new building will use state-of-the-art en-ergy efficiencies for hot water, air conditioning, lighting etc. and will not have noisy A/C units on

the roof like the old bank had. Having a residen-tial building at this location will also discourage the loitering on the west lane that has been a neighbourhood problem for years.

This proposed building will have all 10 resi-dential units built to standards for wheelchair accessibility and meets all height requirements. The only height variance we are asking council to approve is the height of the elevator shaft so as to have wheelchair access to the roof top deck.

The development proposed for this property will not result in “another neighborhood de-stroyed.” Rather; it will bring a responsible and thoughtful high quality commercial/residential space that compliments the revitalization of historic Steveston Village.

Facebook doesn’t die ...Social media sites, for some years now, have attracted millions of people. Some sites have become “storage” for a tremendous amount of personal information. What happens when an account holder dies? Well, nothing automatic necessarily.An online account can be an asset (for example, a business website). A Will can include gift s of “digital assets” or even a direction to close accounts (there is no legal prohibition of this). But digital assets now warrant some consideration in Estate planning. One way to handle them at the planning stage is to prepare a written list of accounts/websites and passwords.Th at list can be given to the Will maker’s personal representative for safekeeping, or can be attached to a Will. Th e information is important, and should not be ignored.

lettersMoney needs to be put back into the education system

Editor:Re: “Start charging for

ESL,” Letters, July 9.Well said Ron Hyde! I

have been saying this for the past few years and absolutely agree with you 200 per cent.

May I add, maybe there should be annual fees charged to attend public school and the government supple-ment funding, like the private schools, which currently gets more percentage in funding than public schools. It would be of great interest as to what percentage of ESL stu-dents attending private schools.

Fees for attending summer school, wheth-er one fails course(s) or taking additional credits to graduate or entrance to university or college. It isn’t the education system nor the educators’ fault that one fails courses, the need to take extra credits or that one is ESL. These are student’s and parents choices, not the educators or the system.

Money needs to be put back into the edu-cation system, which simply cannot continue the way it is.

Cathy HughesRichmond

Editor:There is a cynical old saying,

“Figures don’t lie, but liars figure!” Not that I’m implying that any of our civic leading lights would

prevaricate, but in politics, a little misdirection is normal!

In any case, a quick reading of financial reports and such of the City of Richmond, and their spend-

thrift offshoot, Richmond Owe-Val, provide a considerable amount of food for thought!

For example, a recent publicity handout for the Owe-Val, boldly states a “profit” of $369 million for 2013. Stupendous!

Next we go to the city’s financial statement, and we find a transfer of $9,826,000 for 2012. The latest available statement.

Add to this a tax exemption of $1,919,643 for the same time pe-riod. (But don’t worry, it’s only our tax money)

Now again referring to the pub-licity statement, the proud boast is the acquisition of 5,000 members! Wow, that amounts to an amazing 2.65 percent of Richmond’s popu-lation. Neat, huh?

Again referring to the city’s finan-cial statement. The claim is that 4 cents of every tax dollar goes to

the Owe-Val, (2.65% gets 4% of taxes?. Huh?).

A last review of the financial statement shows that from 2008 to 2012 (inclusive), our every vigilant city council has poured at least $34,733,000 directly into this misbegotten project! I can’t determine if this includes all the tax forgiveness for the whole period.

Now, My question, What could Richmond have achieved with this much freed up cash? Maybe our tax rate wouldn’t have been so much higher than the rate of inflation.

Perhaps it would be wise to remember these numbers in the upcoming election--or do you re-ally like being treated as fools by your elected officials?

Terrence MurphyRichmond

Why visit the south side of Sea Island? There is plane watching, the Fraser River and seaplanes. But the best reason to come is The Southside Cafe.

Newly re-opened, renovated and reimagined, this sun, music and fun-fi lled cafe boasts some seriously good and unique taste creations. Meatloaf is usually blasé... but not at The Southside. Theirs is layered in bacon, then smothered in a ketchup and brown sugar glaze. Quite awe-inspiring. Tasty sandwiches, homemade soups and probably the best banana bread this side of Alberta are part of The Southside’s fare.

Even the popular standards are prepared with a twist; turkey sandwich on cranberry bread, tuna on raisin, roast chicken with a siracha infused mayo...the list goes on.

Proprietors, Desh and Sarver Minwalla, have a passion for great service. Their hospitality is abundant, the music pretty damn amazing, with fun and interesting conversation to be had.

Breakfast and lunch served Monday to Friday 7 a.m to 3.00 p.m.

They also cater to local businesses. Ask them to host your monthly meetings or order up a corporate lunch. A great addition to our town, a great addition to your favourite restaurant list. Call them at 604-303-0407. The Southside Cafe is located at 5360 Airport Road South. Finding them is simple. Turn right, before the Beaver, follow the road as it curves, turn right again at the stop sign and drive straight to the very end of the street to a parking lot.

Jessica Stuart talks about Japanese crowds, playing with mom and van life


Yesterday it was Calgary, tonight it’s Red Deer and tomorrow the tour

heads to Revelstoke. Jessica Stuart has been busy tell-

ing stories through music with her three-member band the Jessica Stu-art Few, which glides into Richmond July 18 as part of the Music at the Cannery summer concert series.

Touring eff orts for their latest al-bum, Two Sides to Every Story, began last year in Japan—a place where Stuart lived as a child and learned the art of the traditional Japanese harp, the koto.

It’s an instrument she folds into her band’s music, and one that caught the attention of the 2014 Indepen-dent Music Awards, which nominat-ed the Few’s album in the “Jazz with Vocals” category. Two Sides includes a koto rendition of the Eurythmics’ “Here Comes the Rain Again.”

They describe themselves as a folk jazz power trio, with roots in To-ronto’s indie folk scene. Theirs is play-ful music that refl ects Stuart’s love of guitar rock and soulful songwriting.

The band’s current tour is a 9,000-kilometre journey that ends back in Toronto later this month, when they play a show with Stuart’s mother Wendy on koto.

On July 18 at 6:30 p.m., the Few will play at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery in a music series sponsored by G&F Financial Group, Cannery Brewing Co. and Canada Berries, presented in collaboration with The Beat Merchant. Admission is by donation. Then at 9:30 p.m. that Friday, the Few will be in Vancouver, performing at the Railway Club ($10 admission).

1. What do you write about most in your songs? “Sometimes I’m inspired by something very particu-lar. Other times, several songs might have a similar topic. It might be a central theme I’m thinking about a lot at the time, as is the case with many songs on Two Sides To Every Story, including the title track.”

2. How did you develop your style? “I am totally moved by lots of diff erent music, so when ideas are brewing in my mind, I gravitate to-wards sounds from classic rock, soul, singer-songwriter and jazz. It ends up being a yummy stew, fl avoured

like the Jessica Stuart Few.”3. What keeps you motivated

while on tour? “Tour is fun! Lots of work obviously too, but the three of us love playing music together, so that keeps us going.”

4. What’s van life like? “Lots of jok-ing banter, funny voices and accents, listening to music, and alternating taking turns napping. This tour we brought a ukelele along too.”

5. A recent memorable concert? “We had the opportunity to open for Jamie Cullum at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto last month. It was sold out (1,250), with a rapt, totally attentive audience on an excellent stage. According to some friends at the show, there were rumblings on every row about how neat our music was, and how come they’d never heard of us before. It was a goodie.”

6. A favourite meal to prepare? “Soba (noodles) with tofu, ginger, green onion.”

7. Dream travel destination? “I’ve gotten to travel lots already, but have never spent much time in Europe, so that’s the dream at the moment.”

8. First time you performed? “I’ve been doing song-and-dance routines with my older sister, orchestrated by my mother, since before I can remember. We started by entertaining family friends in the living room, then moved on to old folks’ homes.”

9. What’s it like playing with mom? “I’ve played guitar or bass in orchestra pits of theatre productions directed by my mom for years, plus the kid performances with sister ac-companied my mom. That’s a huge part of my upbringing. I love it. I’m overjoyed to involve my mother in my group though.”

10. Appeal of the koto? “I gravi-tated towards it as a child, so I don’t remember the original inspiration

to play. Now I love it cause it has a magic quality to the sound.”

11. How’s your Japanese? “Very good these days. Last October’s tour had 100 per cent Japanese stage banter and radio/print inter-views. That was one of the things I was most nervous about pre-tour though.”

12. Do you ever perform in the language? “I used to play classic rock sounding versions of two tradi-tional Japanese folk songs on guitar before I brought the koto into the band, and they’re in Japanese!”

13. How does a crowd in Japan diff er from one in Canada? “They really value live music, and therefore pay good ticket prices for any music, and then they shut up and listen and engage in the show. I felt totally spoiled after Japan, and made me a little disappointed in audiences that don’t treat music like that.”

14. Favourite instrument you can’t play? “Tabla.”

15. Trapped in a library, what aisle would you browse? “The aisle with the super old vintage books.”

16. A favourite song to cover? “Enjoying our new version of Ri-hanna’s “Only Girl In The World” these days—so much that we’re going to record it for the next album.”

17. If you weren’t a musician, what would you be? “Dancer? En-trepreneur? Pro hacky sack player?

18. Best way to relax? “Massage, hot tub or sauna, going into nature on a hike or lake swimming.”

19. How has the recent addition of merch changed you? “Ha-ha! I have a fuller wardrobe. I’m now that person who wears my own band’s shirt.”

20. Anything planned for the studio? “Album No. 3 is on its way. A week after tour we hit the studio. Exciting things!”

Singer-songwriter Jessica Stuart started performing song-and-dance rou-tines with her older sister for family friends in their living room, later mov-ing their act to care homes.

Ukelele master plays cannery

A showman and songwriter known for his ukelele strumming skills performs at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery tonight (Friday).

Ralph Shaw, whose style is inspired by the vaude-ville and British Music Hall era, plays the Music at the Cannery series.

Fascinated by the potential of the ukulele, Shaw found it an eff ective instrument to convey the music of the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s, and in 1997 became Canada’s “King of the Ukulele”—the title of his fi rst solo CD.

Shaw’s concert starts at 6:30 p.m. at the cannery (12138 Fourth Ave.) in Steveston; admission is by donation. The Music at the Cannery series is spon-sored by G&F Financial Group, Cannery Brewing Co. and Canada Berries, and is presented in collabora-tion with The Beat Merchant. The series continues every Friday night until Aug. 29, rain or shine.

—Matthew Hoekstra

The War Amps fl oat passed on the vital PLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE message at the recent Steveston Salmon Festival Parade. This year’s theme, “Safety is no Accident – Spot the Danger,” was depicted in the colourful, animated fl oat, specially designed to capture the attention of children, and remind them to be aware of their surroundings at all times. James Kwaksistala (above), 9, and Owen Greaves, 12, of Richmond, joined the fl oat as Safety Ambassadors. Members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, James and Owen are well qualifi ed to pass on the PLAYSAFE message as they have met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented. They now work at spreading the message of “playing safely” to as many children as possible.

Richmond Champs deliver important safety message

Ukulele master Ralph Shaw plays Steveston’s Gulf of Georgia Cannery Friday, July 11, at 6:30 p.m.

Question of the Week

DrivewayCanada.ca

Edgy Lexus looker enters crowded crossover marketWhere has the modern station wagon gone? Nowhere, it’s just called some-thing else–a crossover or small SUV. The traditional family station wagon has been replaced with taller, more practical SUVs that provide similar interior space but add functionality, like a power rear lift gate, all wheel drive (AWD) and better outward visibility. Automakers have taken notice and, with a few exceptions, have abandoned the traditional station wagon and produced a small SUV instead. This market has exploded in popularity to the point that it is the fasted growing segment in the market today.This is a tough battle-ground but Lexus hopes its track record of building high quality products will attract a new buyer to the NX.Looks“Bam, look at me. No, look at me,” screams this new NX. The edgy design will turns heads and gar-ner attention but I have come to realize two things about the car business. First, when a design is rather edgy, it can date quickly. The second is that the initial “bam, look at me” wears off, and the product just becomes part of the vehicular landscape, losing the initial pop. If you squint your eyes, just a bit, you can see the Toyota RAV4, the vehicle the NX is based on. The “spindle” grille that has now migrated across the Lexus family is very prominent, especially the F-Sport version of the NX. The F-Sport is the upscale, sportier model that Lexus hopes will attract the same youthful buyers that have moved into the Lexus IS compact car. The base

NX 200t doesn’t have as large a front grille but the side accent lines, swept front windshield and defined rear lights all make a statement. Other than the bigger grille, the F-Sport model also gets larger wheels, a sportier suspen-sion and LED headlamps on both low and high beam where the base model gets LED lamps only in the low setting.InsideThe exterior might be an acquired taste but the inside is a refined and practical

place to spend time. The same “spindle” motif is carried into the centre console, with aluminum accents pieces that frame the high-mounted centre stack. The shifter and computer controller are placed to perfection making it easy for the driver to interact with the NX without having to look down. The base con-troller is a rotary knob, similar to Audi’s MMI system, the optional Remote Touch system has a track pad that lets the driver scroll and press the pad, the same

way we all use a laptop touch pad. Above the controller is a 7-inch screen that displays the information and is positioned well, helping to keep the attention on the road ahead. The inside of the cabin might not look that invit-ing because of the sweeping roofline but in practice, it really is a comfortable 5-seat vehicle with standard 8-way power and heated front seats. The rear seats sit higher off the floor for good outward visibility and the headliner has been scooped out to help maximize the interior space. Cargo is on par with others in this class and a power litigate is optional.

DriveThe worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct in-ject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is get-ting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passen-gers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll.VerdictWhat Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbo-charged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

by Keith Morgan

Our neighbours to the south may still be suspicious of smaller vehicles but they are more than welcome on driveways north of the border.

In the top 20 best sellers, 15 are compact or sub-compacts and the remaining five are by no means gas-guzzlers.

The Honda Civic is the perennial top seller, and according to the latest figures available, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it.

The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth place and it’s a ray of light for General Motors.

It recorded a five percent year-over-year sales increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 percent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch.

Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car products – most of which fall into the small car category.

GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The sub-compact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has caught fire in the way the Cruze has.

It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and five-door hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was impressed with its design and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or singles with a daily commute on their hands. However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist!

It may be a young’un but it’s already undergone some significant changes and engine improvements.

Perhaps most

significant among them was the introduction of a clean diesel version (pictured here) with a sticker price of around $26,000. It’s not inexpensive but Canadians like the 4.2 L/100 km highway fuel consumption offered by the 2-litre, turbocharged diesel powerplant.

The base Cruze LS is also easy on your gas budget. Its standard 6-speed manual transmission, coupled with a 1.4-litre powerplant, promises a highway fuel consumption rating of 5.4 L/100 km – the auto tranny makes that 5.6 L/100 km. The Cruze Eco’s 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway.

It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a WiFi hot spot.

The Chevrolet AppShop will allow owners to download all available apps directly to the vehicle, offering access to vehicle data, music, news, weather and travel information. No prices yet.

Worth a serious look by import car fans. [email protected]

The Chevrolet Cruze is a ray of light for General Motors.

Cruze is cruising up the bestseller charts

‘‘I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist’’Keith Morgan

The 2014 Honda Pilot has enough space to get you, your family, and all your gear to the campsite and let’s not forget the family dog! Looks:

Even though the vehicle was last re-designed as long ago as 2009, it still fits the market today and it has a unique style to it. In The Cab:

Inside updates and improvements ensure there is plenty of room for eight in this large sport ute. The 60/40 second row and third row bench seats fold flat to give a good surface to transport larger items. Another added improvement is the rear glass that opens independently from the hatch. If you go for the EX-L or Touring edition there is a power lift gate. A 229-watt audio system with seven speakers and a subwoofer is available on the LX 2wd, LX, EX and EX-L model while the Touring comes with a 650-watt, AM/FM/CD Premium audio system with MP3/Windows media and 10 speakers including a 5.1 surround sound theater mode, also a 15 GB hard drive (HDD) audio storage. There is an available Honda DVD rear entertainment system with 9-inch display. And check this out: there’s an optional

Honda satellite-linked navigation system with trilingual voice recognition that responds to over 800 verbal commandsSafety first:

The 2014 Pilot’s standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist, commonly known as electronic stability control with traction control and ABS. There are three row-side curtain airbags with roll over sensors; dual stage front air bags, a driver’s front side air bag, and a passenger’s front side air bag with occupant position detection system. There’s also have hill start assist on all models. The VTM-4 system directs power to the front differential when extra traction is not required, helping with the fuel economy, when more traction is required, the system engages the rear differential. Power:

The 3.5 litre, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivers 250 hp and 253 ft lbs of torque. Variable cylinder management (VCM) which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five speed automatic transmission runs smoothly and very quiet when shifting. When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in operation. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb)

Roadworthy:I took the Touring edition up some logging roads in Squamish. It

was incredibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches. Verdict:

The 2014 Honda Pilot is a reliable/spacious SUV, easy to drive around town and a real joy to drive off-road.

The Honda Pilot is a joy to drive off-road.

Room enough to Pilot the entire family

B.C. high school students show off their skills on videoby Bob McHugh

A hands-on ability, whatever the skill, is a talent that tends to go unrecognised and too often, it is under-appreciated, even by those who possess the talent.

That’s why I was delighted to be asked again to participate as a judge (one of five) in the annual “Show Us Your Skills” competition organized by Discover Skills BC for high school students.

Students create a short video about a trade or skill that they are interested in pursuing. Prizes for the top three videos are presented to both the student and the high school that they attend.

The high level of expertise that some of these kids already possess was remarkable and the video entries this year were outstanding.

First prize this year went to Connor Shaw, a student at Traditional Learning Academy in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. He was taught to weld by his uncle and at age 12 he fabricated a flat deck for a truck he was given. More recently he added a hydraulic lift system that gives the flat deck a dump feature. Connor loves welding and plans to pursue a career in a related trade. Connor will get an Apple MacBook Air and his high school will receive $2,000.

The second prize winner was Albert Leung, who attends Steveston-London Secondary in Richmond. Albert will get an Apple iPad Air 16GB and the school will receive $1,000.

Bernice Chung, a student at Eric Hamber Secondary, in Vancouver, came third, she will receive an Apple iPad Mini, and $500 goes to the school.

Trades can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path with a higher than average wage level and a solid future. The trades sector in B.C. is expected to face an overall labour shortage by 2016 that will deepen in the following years, according to WorkBC Trades Occupations Outlook (2010-2020) report (www.workbc.ca).

A goal of this video competition is to encourage more B.C. students to simply consider a trade as a rewarding career alternative and entice more teachers and high schools to include trades as a career option in the classroom.

Most apprentice programs are four years and on-the-job training is on-going, especially in the auto service industry. Changes in new technology are rapidly transforming trades, as well as other occupations. Looking even further ahead, our growing and evolving job market will require skilled, capable people who can adapt to new challenges and new technologies.

Hey, hey, the Monkeys are returning.

OK, not the original Monkeys, but apparent-ly a pretty fair eff ort by a group of Generation Y athletes to revive one of the most popular teams ever to lace ‘em up at the annual Dolphin Basket-ball Classic.

“It’s a passing of the torch from the older guys who may have been mentors to these younger players, per-haps as coaches,” says Bruce Watson, one of the founding members of the popular four-on-four Richmond playground hoops event returning to Thompson Park July 18 to 20.

Led by former X-Fal-cons Kyle Watson and Doug Plumb—the most valuable player in last year’s men’s fi nal where the X-Falcons outscored the Runnin’ Rebels 60-54—the new Monkeys have stressed their in-tent to maintain the spirit of fun that became symbolic of the original lineup which featured such legends as John Dykstra and John Con-ners.

As for the Monkeys’ choice of team apparel—always a trademark with the original squad—it’s

apparently being kept, well, close to the players’ vests. Kind of fi tting for a summer tournament,

where you never quite know who might show up on the lineup sheet.

Softball BC Squirts at Londonby Don FennellSports Editor

One of the certainties of sport is uncertainty. Just as Forrest Gump likened life to a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re go-ing to get.

So while White Rock Renegades and Tri-City Titans, who between them lost just three times in league play this season, enter this weekend’s provincial under-12A champion-ship at London Field (fi rst pitch is scheduled for 8 a.m. Friday) as medal favourites, teams such as the host Richmond Islanders have plenty of reason for optimism too.

While the focus of the 2002 Islanders has, from day one, to build toward the under-14 nationals in four years, they’ve already made great strides this year. An overall record of nine wins, 13 losses and two ties doesn’t ap-propriately refl ect, in particular, their strong play in tournaments.

“As coaches we loved what we saw at our

last tournament (in Maple Ridge), taking out a powerful Victoria team and falling a run short of the eventual gold medal-winning Renegades,” said coach Dave Gillis.

Gillis had to be further encouraged by the Islanders’ eff orts against the Richmond Boys’ Fastball under-14 team in a friendly Wednes-day. In Gillis’ eyes the game was never about the fi nal score, but the opportunity for the girls to see faster pitching, movement and bats than they’ll see at this weekend’s tour-nament.

“The goal, as it is in all sports, was to slow the game down,” he said. “We saw pitches that were in the 90 km/h range, while in the provincials the girls are topping out at 80. Our goal as coaches was to work on reaction time, which hopefully will make it a little easier when we face teams like White Rock and Tri-City.”

Though the 2014 campaign has been a challenging one for the young Islanders, Gillis is confi dent each of the players has improved.

“We’ve worked on our skills and technique,” said Gillis. “We have made a point of not only encouraging our girls to be multi-sport athletes, we have made sure they were not locked into one position and when called upon anyone can play any position on this team. One of the biggest surprises and high-lights of the year has been how well they’ve stuck together and accepted everything that’s come their way. It took a while to sort things out, and there’ve been a few bumps along the way, but these girls have been fantastic. You can’t name a standout without naming every girl, and they refl ect the true meaning of team on and off the fi eld.”

Eleven teams will compete over three days for the opportunity to be crowned provincial Squirt A Division champions, with only six advancing to the playoff s from the round-robin. The Isles believe they can be among the select.

“The powerhouses will be there, but any-thing can happen,” said Gillis.

Hosts Islanders hope to surprise the field at U12 provincial “A” girls’ championship

More soccer in store at Nations Cup 2014

Don Fennell photoIndia will be hoping to celebrate more success at the 2014 Nations Cup July 18 to 20.


There will be even more reason to cheer at the 2014 Nations Cup.

Western Canada’s pre-mier amateur soccer tour-nament will kick off July 18 in Richmond with an

expanded lineup. The ranks of the over-30 and over-38 divisions will each feature 12 teams with the inclusion of Africa, Croa-tia, Canada and Caribbean in the former and Africa, China, Serbia and England in the latter.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has an excellent track record for building spectacular single-family homes, including nine neighbourhoods on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, and are one of the largest single-family builders in the area with nearly 2,000 homes built to date. Now they are heading out to Maple Ridge to showcase their expertise with their latest project, Th e Summit at Grant Hill.

“Th ese are some of our best designs ever,” says Deborah

Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing at Morningstar. “Add to that the scenic backdrop of the Golden Ears Mountains and it’s just magical.”

In fact, Calahan notes that she’s already had a lot of people contacting her wanting more information about the project, or to purchase a home immediately.

“We’re thrilled at the response to our homes,” she says. “We’re bringing our best ideas from Burke Mountain to Maple Ridge … and adding some new twists.”

Th ey also have Robertson Heights coming soon.

“Maple Ridge is a new area for us, full of natural beauty,” Calahan says. “Here, we’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings and blend with the uniqueness of the neighbourhood.”

In this case, it is sprawling estate homes with three-car garages and huge windows to capture the maximum amount of views and nature possible!

Th e Summit at Grant Hill will feature 26 four-bedroom luxury homes on 1/2 acre homesites with large, private backyards perfect for a hot tub, basketball court or pool. Th e lush greenery surrounding the homes adds to the sense of peace you’ll feel as soon as you enter your new home, and the views of the mountains and blue skies are simply stunning.

Inside, the vaulted ceilings, gorgeous kitchens and relaxing bedrooms are designed to impress.

Morningstar is holding a grand opening on July 12, starting at noon. Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register, which will give you earlier access to purchase one of the homes. Th e sales centre is located at 25465 Godwin Drive, Maple Ridge, and homes will start at $690,000 plus GST.

Blexo Developments is bringing a new class of real estate to North Delta with Delta Rise, a curving tower with a glass facade that has buyers all over the Lower Mainland getting excited.

“You have to see it to believe it,” says Satish Sharma, principal at Blexo Developments. “You can’t replicate this anywhere else.”

As the tallest tower in North Delta at 37 storeys, Delta Rise off ers amazing views, and large balconies to take advantage of them.

“Th e balconies are larger than those in some single-family homes,” Sharma says. At 300 square feet, he’s right. Th e balcony off ers tons of room for entertaining or relaxing and watching the sunset.

Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, while 8’6” ceilings and spacious fl oorplans contribute to the luxurious feeling in every home. Homes at Delta Rise range from 475 to 1,039 square feet, in a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom plans.

Th e gourmet kitchen, with its stainless-steel appliances and polished quartz countertops will suit chefs of any calibre.

“Th ese fi nishings are extremely high-quality,” says Sharma.

Th e bedrooms have built-in wardrobes instead of traditional closets, adding an extra level of convenience to your home, and the bathrooms are stylish and elegant, with a fl oating laminate vanity, polished solid quartz countertops and a deep soaker tub with integral skirt and full-height stacked porcelain tile tub surround.

Delta Rise is part of the revitalization of the Delta area, which is rapidly becoming an important hub for growth and investment. It will be located minutes from the new North Delta Community Park and Rec Centre, as well as Sungod Recreation Centre and several other parks and green spaces.

Schools, shopping and dining are all within walking distance. In fact, Delta Rise will have a coff ee shop in its lobby, as well as a resident concierge service.

Other amenities on-site include a rooft op courtyard on the third level, with a park, outdoor barbecue pit, playground, garden plots, outdoor fi tness area, zen garden and much more.

Inside, there will be a fi tness centre, media and entertainment rooms, a workshop, a library and meeting rooms, among other amenities.

“Delta is truly open for business,” says Sharma. “It has so much to off er.”

Homes at Delta Rise start at $199,000. For more information, visit www.deltarise.ca, call 604-594-RISE (7473), or stop by the presentation centre at 11941 80 Avenue, Delta, open daily between 1 and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and noon and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

From Page 30“Though we added the women’s division and

an Over-52 men’s division in the last decade, this is the fi rst expansion of any of the existing age groups in a long time,” says Jeff Wilson, president of the Nations Cup Soccer Society. “And we still had to turn teams away that would like to participate.”

There was a time, not so long ago, when simply putting a side together was enough to claim your spot in the tournament. But the quality of play has now reached such a level that teams in the Open Division must earn their entry through a qualifying tournament. And for those teams that do succeed in reaching the Nations Cup, the calibre of com-petition—even at the group stage—is typically nail-biting from the fi rst match forward.

Based in Seattle, the team representing the U.S. in this year’s Nations Cup exemplifi es the growing

respect aff orded by the tournament. Team offi cials expressed interest in participating in the Nations Cup as early as last December, with the team win-ning its spot in a pre-qualifying tournament here in May. Sixteen teams will battle over three days (July 18 to 20) to decide this year’s Open Division winner, with India looking to build on last year’s 2-1 fi nal-game victory over Italy.

Wilson is also encouraged by the potential to solidify the women’s division, where participa-tion in recent years has fl uctuated between four and eight teams. On paper, at least, a team of predominately university-level players from Bell-ingham, Wash., which will represent the U.S., will challenge perennial fi nalists Ireland and Canada for this year’s championship. Ireland won the 2013 match 1-0.

Richmond capped its 2013-14 youth soccer sea-son last weekend by play-ing host to the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys’ Provincial B Cup championships at Mi-noru and Hugh Boyd parks.

Richmond Lightning edged Nelson Selects 3-2 to place fi fth in the un-der-15 division, while the Gunners earned fi fth place in the under-17 division, winning by forfeit over Del-ta Coastal FC Royals. Rich-mond Athletics outscored Terrace Kermodes 5-2 for seventh place in the un-der-13 division, while the Athletics edged Cowichan Valley Spartans 2-1 on pen-alty kicks to place seventh in the under-16 division and blanked Prince George Timberwolves 2-0 in the under-18 division.

Richmond also compet-ed at the Provincial A Cup championships at Burnaby Lake West where United blanked Kamloops Blaze 3-0 to fi nish third at the un-der-13 age group and lost

1-0 to Delta Coastal Selects at the under-14 level.

Cup play capssoccer season


A tradition launched four years ago by the Richmond Rugby Football Club to honour one of its founding members continues.

The 2014 Maurice Smith All-Stars recognizes a selection of local high school players (boys and girls) who exemplify the determination, ath-leticism and perseverance of the legendary rugger.

The Richmond Rugby Football Club extends its congratulations to all the all-stars as well as to the

Hugh McRoberts boys’ team which won bronze for its third-place fi nish at the provincial AA championship in June. The Strikers were also the recipients of the Richard (Dickie) Evans Challenge Cup, given to the champions of the city. Evans was actively involved in refereeing and administering rugby in Richmond at a variety of levels, and was a fi x-ture at local games until his passing away in New Zealand in 2011.

The club also off ers its congratu-lations to both the McRoberts and R.A. McMath girls’ teams which tied 5-5 in April for the Challenge Cup.

High schoolers honoured

From Page 29That said, there will be some familiar

names and teams returning for the 2014 Classic including Marek Klassen (who just won the National Christian Colleges title with San Diego’s Point Loma Nazarene University), Steve Jan-zen and Athletes in Action; Steve Lee and the Runnin’ Rebels; and the Paul Eberhardt-led Richmond-Langara all-stars to name just a few.

The women’s division, won in 2013 by the Cascades over the Chaos in a memorable 45-44 nail-biter, prom-ises to be equally competitive this year as well.

And, of course, there’ll be the al-ways-popular three-point and slam dunk contests.

Organizers were still working on the tournament schedule at press time, but expected to complete it by this weekend.

The OpenRoad Toyota stores in Richmond and Port Moody recently organized their fi rst annual charity golf tournament, successfully raising $25,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation BC & Yukon. Make-A-Wish Foundation vice-chair Jennifer Tait (centre) received the cheque from OpenRoad Toyota Port Moody general manager Patrick Lau (left) and Barry Chyzowski (right), general manager of OpenRoad Toyota in Richmond. “OpenRoad has been a long-time supporter of the Make-A-Wish Foun-dation, and we believe in giving back to the community we live in. Having their wish granted means the world to the children, but it requires a lot of eff ort and money. Every dollar counts,” Chyzowski says.

Fathers and sons in Steveston raised more than $10,000 for the B.C. Children’s Hos-pital at a recent head shaving event. The pros at Steveston Barbers donated their skills and time to help make the annual event happen.

Stir It Up is a community youth program, funded by the Richmond Food Security So-ciety, that brings together youths from all around Richmond. The vision of the pro-gram is to provide life skills training through food and the kitchen. Vancouver Sow-ers Society of Education recently donated $1,000 to the program for its expansion and purchase of tools and equipment. From left: Francis Lai, Cynthia Ip and Chuck Lee of VSSE; Erika Simms of Food Security Society; some participating students; Na-thaniel Lim, facilitator of Stir It Up; and Alvin Li.

Bill McNulty all took part in the red carpet ribbon cutting ceremony to open Fraserview’s newly renovated Country Kitchen. The fully-stocked culinary creation was a project by the Fraserview Auxiliary to help facilitate personalized bak-ing and kitchen programs to improve person-centred care for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia. It will also be a great place for families to share favourite recipes and enjoy quality visits with loved ones.

Johnny Reid to headline Starlight Gala

Canadian country rock star Johnny

Reid will headline the entertainment at the Richmond Hospital Foundation’s 16th annual Starlight Gala, organizers announced this week.

Reid is a platinum-selling artist with three Juno Awards under his belt. The Scottish-born, Canadian-raised soul singer has numerous hit singles in Canada.

This year’s Starlight Gala—the founda-tion’s signature white tie event—is set for Oct. 18 at River Rock Casino Resort. Since its inauguration in 1999, the event has raised more than $3.2 million for hospital equipment and programs.

Gala guests can expect a cocktail reception and dinner, silent and live auctions, the foundation’s annual Lead-ership Challenge, as well as an inspiring story of a patient’s personal journey through Richmond Hospital.

Tickets are $400 each. For more infor-mation, visit the foundation’s website or call 604-244-5252.
