City urges TransLink to quit stalling and open washrooms to public

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Relief could be in sight for those looking for a loo after civic politi-cians took steps Wednesday to flush away toilet troubles for Canada Line commuters and RVers.

Public washrooms aren’t available at Canada Line stations, a frustration for commuters that’s shared by rec-reational vehicle owners who can’t find a sanitary dump in city limits. Now the stink has reached city hall.

Council’s public works and trans-portation committee urged Trans-Link this week to reconsider its opposition to public restrooms at transit stations. Councillors also gave staff approval to find a private operator willing to offer a sanitary dump service in Richmond.

That’s music to ears of avid RVer Lisa Nowak, who has long urged the city to quit stalling and offer a service that local private operators have since stopped.

“It would be really worth our while to get something in Richmond,” she said. “We’ve got RVs all around.”

Sanitary dump facilities offered by Shell at Garden City and Lansdowne roads, and by Tourism Richmond at the tunnel, both closed in 2009, ac-cording to a staff report. Sewage dumps nearest to Richmond are in North Burnaby and Tsawwassen.

The city is hoping to find a private operator willing to own and oper-

ate such a facility—in exchange for $10,000 from the city to help with utility installation.

“I think it’s worth trying first,” said Coun. Linda Barnes. “Hopefully we can get something moving.”

As for public washrooms in down-town Richmond, seniors advocate Hans Havas suggested the city in-stall its own washrooms if TransLink doesn’t budge.

“It’s a long haul for a lot of people,” he said. “You cannot always access the washrooms in the mall.”

Havas suggested Richmond could follow Vancouver, which has eight automated public toilets in its downtown that are automatically cleaned and sanitized after each use.

“We really can’t wait for the fu-ture. I’m wondering if it’s possible that maybe the city work as a pilot project to put a freestanding (wash-room)…in that general vicinity.”

Victor Wei, transportation director for the City of Richmond, told coun-cillors that TransLink has rejected a city proposal for a pilot project to provide special public access to staff washrooms at Richmond-Brighouse Station. Wei said TransLink officials cited maintenance costs and a lack of policy in providing public access to its facilities.

“This is something that TransLink has never addressed in terms of the use of washrooms along their rapid transit lines,” said Wei.

There’s a possibility that redevel-opment around the Richmond-Brig-house Station could make public washrooms a reality. Wei said Trans-Link’s long-term plans include a bus mall on the Scotiabank site, but that facility could be as many as five years away, because a new building that would house the bank must be built first.

Commercial fishing fleet of over 350 at risk if sediment isn’t removed from channel

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Steveston Harbour could soon become unusable for Canada’s largest fishing fleet if senior governments don’t ante up cash for dredging, observers say.

“It is filling up. If you go in low tide you can

almost walk across at some points right now,” said Loren Slye, chair of the Steveston 20/20 group, which represents the village’s non-profit organizations. “We’re definitely in favour of getting some action and getting it quickly.”

In a recent letter to Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the chair of the Steveston Harbour Authority board said there is a “desper-ate” need to remove sediment from the harbour for the sake of 350 fishing vessels that rely on it.

“Our situation is dire, and if something is not done in the very near future, the harbour will become a navigation hazard and rendered un-usable for this active fishing fleet,” said Ross Holkestad in the letter.

On Wednesday, council’s public works and transportation committee endorsed a recom-mendation to spend $2 million on dredging

the Steveston Channel—provided senior gov-ernments and Port Metro Vancouver match that amount.

City hall doesn’t yet know what cash might come from government, said Robert Gonzalez, the city’s head of engineering and public works.

According to the city, up to $9 million of dredging work is needed in the harbour. Staff say all levels of government need to help remove “significant sedimentation” that has filled in local waterways since the end of a federally-funded dredging program in 2008.

The channel is so narrow that vessels with drafts greater than 3.5 metres are at times unable to travel through. At Scotch Pond, the river entrance is now only accessible at high tide by small boats, according to a staff report.

Bruce Rozenhart, chair of the Steveston His-

torical Society, told councillors Wednesday he supports the city’s bid for dredging cash.

“We’re very interested in maintaining the heritage value of the harbour. It’s a key fea-ture of Richmond. A lot of people come here because of it,” he said.

City hall’s plan is modelled after one in Delta, which has already committed $2 million to dredge its harbour in Ladner if senior govern-ment and port authority funding is secured.

Steveston Harbour is home to the largest commercial fishing fleet in Canada, along with many services fishermen use, according to the Steveston Harbour Authority. Each year 14 to 30 million kilograms of seafood are offloaded at Steveston facilities.

MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay was unavailable for comment yesterday.

‘Dire’ need to dig out Steveston Harbour

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark announced a review of teacher bargaining Wednesday, with a goal of reaching a 10-year agreement that would put an end to decades of battles with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

Clark and Education Minister Don McRae acknowledged at a Vancou-ver news conference that chang-ing the culture of confrontation

between the B.C. government and teachers won’t be easy, and vowed to put even the most contentious issues on the table for discussion. That includes class size and special needs support, key issues in con-tract disputes and court actions in recent years.

“Our first goal is long-term labour stability with teachers in British Co-lumbia,” Clark said. “Our second goal is to improve how government in-teracts and works with the BCTF.

These two goals will require com-promise on all sides of the table, including ours.”

BCTF president Susan Lambert said she welcomes the review of the bargaining structure, but is skeptical about the latest promise of mean-ingful consultation.

“It seems to me that talk of a 10-year contract is putting the cart be-fore the horse,” Lambert said. “There seem to be conclusions drawn that would be properly a product of the

bargaining table and not a product of a discussion on the bargaining structure.”

The offer comes as the BCTF con-tinued a court challenge to a two-year wage freeze that extends until June 2013. After a year of fruitless negotiations and work-to-rule by teachers, the union membership endorsed the two-year contract ex-tension reached in June with gov-ernment-imposed mediator Charles Jago.

McRae said the review will take advantage of work currently being done by a task force of school trust-ees, and two previous reviews com-pleted by independent mediators.

In his 2007 report, mediator Vince Ready said the union and the prov-ince’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Associa-tion, need a system for agreeing on the financial costs of various proposals before they can hope to settle contracts.

The regional taxes and utility fees paid to Metro Vancouver by homeowners are expected to go up 0.9 per cent next year.

That translates into a $4 increase to $448 in 2013 for all Metro services for an average home assessed at $714,000.

The regional district’s draft budget for 2013 rises 2.5 per cent to $635 million, but growth in the region’s tax base means the tax hike per home is smaller.

Sewage and drainage is the biggest part of the budget, accounting for $171 next year per average home, followed by $148 for drinking water, $89 for solid waste and $40 for other regional services, in-cluding parks, air quality monitoring, planning and administration.

Utility costs have already risen sharply in recent years but the regional district expects further signifi-cant increases will have to be passed on to property owners in the future.

Elected directors had agreed to a maximum aver-age household hit of $11 or 2.5 per cent this year, but staff reduced that by shelving or cutting some spending.

One of the big bills on the horizon is the estimated $1.4-billion cost to replace the Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants.

More than $2.3 billion in spending is also planned over 10 years on drinking water infrastructure up-grades, some of it to ensure water continues to flow after an earthquake

Declining waste flows stabilize in Metro Vancouver

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver plans to trim its garbage tipping fee by $2 to $105 per tonne next year.

The waste fee had shot up sharply in recent years, largely because waste volumes have fallen since the 2008-09 reces-sion, forcing all other users to pick up a larger share of regional garbage disposal and recycling costs than before.

Metro managers say regional waste volumes have now stabi-lized and they can afford to cut the fee since the function is running at a surplus.

Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt want-ed to keep tipping fees at $107 to encourage recycling and because waste handling costs are forecast

to climb much higher in the years ahead.

“That gives a solid indication to business that want to invest in re-cycling that the number isn’t go-ing to go all over the place,” he said at Metro’s zero waste committee.

If there’s extra money, Hunt sug-gested it could go to helping cities deal with illegal dumping along rural roads.

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay and Vancouver Coun. Andrew Reimer also backed a tipping fee freeze but they were out-voted.

Tipping fees were jacked $10 last year from $97.

Even with the $2 reduction they will be 60 per cent above 2006 levels.

Waste flows in Metro have de-clined from 1.3 million tonnes per year before the recession to about one million now.

Another reason Metro plan-ners support a tipping fee cut is because some commercial haul-ers are increasingly taking loads out of the region to Abbotsford, where they can save about 40 per cent by using a private trans-

fer station.Solid waste manager Paul Hen-

derson said Metro wants to take some pressure off haulers who continue to use Metro transfer stations and pay tipping fees that support recycling here.

Regulations will be proposed next year to ban the commercial hauling of waste outside Metro Vancouver.

Maple Ridge residents will pay $109 per tonne next year due to an extra $4 levied there to fund recycling.

Dumping at the Matsqui Trans-fer Station in Abbotsford will cost $105 per tonne plus a Fraser Valley Regional District levy of $1.55 per tonne.

Metro is also chopping its mat-tress recycling fee from $20 to $15 per mattress, saying that more ac-curately reflects the costs.

Officials hope the lower fee will reduce the problem of illegal dumping of old mattresses, which became much worse since Metro banned them from the landfill in 2011 and imposed the $20 charge at its transfer stations.

Council Update

By Linda McPhail

With all the changes to Richmond in the past several years, in 2009, Council authorized the updating of our Official Community Plan (OCP) to the year 2041. We’ve called it Moving Towards Sustainability and after almost three years in the making, the draft OCP is ready for your comment.

To be involved, attend the open house on Saturday, October 20 at City Hall; visit www.letsTALKrichmond.ca and complete a comment form; or attend or make a written submission to the Public Hearing anticipated for Monday, November 19, 2012.

As a bit of background, the process of creating the new OCP involved four extensive rounds of community and stakeholder engagement – 28 public open houses, City-wide surveys and online discussion forums over the three-year period.

The 2041 OCP will enable the City to better manage social, environmental and economic changes to 2041, promote sustainability, clarify where and how population and employment will be managed outside the City Centre, and address current trends.

At the core of Richmond’s drive towards sustainability is the understanding that in order to provide future generations

with healthy social, economic and environmental systems, we must look for new, sustainable strategies for maintaining our high standard of living. Exploring new strategies and identifying those which inspire us is what the 2041 OCP is about.

Here are the primary themes that emerged from the consultation process:

• more housing choices to facilitate better aging in place

• create complete neighbourhoods and affordable housing

• undertake neighbourhood shopping centre densification planning

• retain industrial lands and encourage office uses in the City Centre

• improve streets and connectivity in neighbourhoods

• provide more parks and open space

• retain agricultural lands• improve transportation,

transit service, and expand the cycling and rolling (wheelchairs, scooters) network across the City

• have more walkable and accessible neighbourhoods

• improve the ecological network and its services

• improve opportunities to access the shoreline

Residents also told us that they are willing to consume and waste less, use their cars less and make energy and other environment improvements in their homes and offices.

Get involved; we would like to hear what you think about the 2041 OCP.

The City seeks your comments on the 2041 Official Community Plan

Retired judge Thomas Braid-wood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommenda-tions on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007.

Braidwood testified Tuesday before a legislature commit-tee, after a senior RCMP official reported on training and pro-cedure changes that led to an 87 per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people.

Braidwood emphasized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use them with new training and strict new rules.

Those province-wide rules in-clude requiring police to deter-mine that the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, and mandate that “de-escalation” or crisis intervention techniques be taught and used before a Taser is.

He described a basic tech-nique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP of-ficers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver Inter-national Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today.

Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former pros-ecutor who went on to serve as

a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice.

The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defibrillator in the car, or in a supervisor’s vehicle in commu-nities of 5,000 people or less. Independent testing of the stun guns is also required, and the rules apply to all municipal police in B.C. as well.

On Monday, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new train-ing began in 2011. By then the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a steep decrease in use of Tasers.

Braidwood noted that so far there has not been a corre-sponding increase in police use of guns.

“Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officers discovered that other tools in

their arsenal, such as training in crisis intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confron-tations without resorting to use of conducted energy weapons?” he asked.

“It would appear to be a fruit-ful area for more research.”

Braidwood’s inquiry led not only to new Taser procedures, but also the establishment of B.C.’s new Independent Inves-tigations Office, the civilian-led agency that began work this summer to take control of all police-involved incidents that result in death or serious bodily harm.

Braidwood said the steps tak-en since his inquiry have filled a gap in the civilian oversight of police that is “a fundamental tenet that distinguishes Canada from totalitarian or dictatorial states.”

20-year fixture at Friendly Banners Restaurant opts out of B.C.

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

For decades, people have come from as far away as North Vancou-ver and Vancouver Island to Friendly Banners Res-taurant at Broadmoor mall to sample their doz-ens of flavours of Baskin Robbins ice cream.

But come the end of October, the sweet re-lationship between the eatery and the flagship ice cream maker will come to an end, accord-ing to restaurant man-ager Roger Tang.

The reason: Baskin Robbins wants to focus its business in Ontario, and isn’t willing to ship its ice cream all the way to the West Coast any-more.

“We have been carry-ing Baskin Robbins at this location for 20 years and we have already built up a very good clientele around this neighbourhood,” Tang

told The Richmond Re-view. “The reason being, Baskin Robbins is not going to renew our ice cream contract. They ap-parently are losing inter-est in the Western Cana-da market. They are not willing to truck all the ice cream over from Ontario if the business is not as strong as they expect it.”

Baskin Robbins did not return calls requesting a comment.

Tang said there are a

handful of other Baskin Robbins retailers else-where in the Lower Mainland, including on 152nd Street in Surrey and on East Hastings in Vancouver.

“They are really curtail-ing now. We are the last one in Richmond.”

But the end of Baskin Robbins doesn’t mean the end of ice cream at Banners.

He’s currently in the midst of looking at

bringing in another small-batch ice cream manufacturer from Van-couver.

“I tried the quality. The quality is similar to what I’m carrying right now. But I always think it’s a good thing to support the local community as well.”

Tang recognizes that sourcing his ice cream from his own backyard means a reduced envi-ronmental impact.

We’re all getting older, perhaps wiser, but not all of

us are getting hungrier. Seniors have, by definition, been

around for a long time and this segment of Richmond’s commu-nity is faced with their own unique issues, particularly when it comes to health and access to food.

It’s well documented that the aging process is intimately related to nutrition and health in elderly persons. Many of the common chronic diseases impacting seniors (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, and

heart disease) are preventable and treatable through a healthy diet.

Studies in the U.S. indicate that elderly individuals had reported lower consumption of eight es-sential nutrients, in particular total calories and calcium. As well, many of these seniors were more likely to have a lower body weight and diminished quality of life.

Just recently I was informed that some community gardeners have been known to drop off fresh pro-duce to local seniors centres.

The reason was that many elderly folks feel that visiting the food bank and other similar food programs lacks dignity; that they feel embarrassed to be seen there. In fact, this leads to even bigger problems as these feelings of shame can promote isolation from neighbours and the broader com-munity.

It harms the ability of individuals to meet basic food needs by limit-ing other means of accessing food (e.g. asking friends or neighbours for help).

Seniors also have to deal with an increasing lack of mobility and an increasing reliance on public transit to get around. Richmond is not a city designed with mobil-ity in mind, and transportation planning should centre on people under eight years of age and those

over 80. The older population is limited by what they can physically carry to and from markets to their homes.

Gone are the golden days when people willingly help others without any need for reward, par-ticularly the elderly. As well, many seniors are distrustful of younger people what with rising incidences of senior abuse. In fact, the other day I watched an elderly Asian woman struggling with four bags of produce and when I offered her a helping hand I was waved off with a shake of the head and a rueful smile.

Food insecurity also occurs when diminishing physical abil-ity prevents seniors from being able to prepare healthy meals or have to navigate the, sometimes overwhelming, complexities of medications. For example, many medications for chronic ailments should not be taken on an empty stomach, impacting seniors that have limited access to food.

While the physical ability to obtain and prepare food becomes impacted, the elderly population spend a disproportionate amount of yearly income on basics such as shelter, food and transportation. As well, the majority of income for seniors comes from government programs (e.g. CPP, OAS, GIS).

With recent cuts to these govern-ment programs and the extension of the retirement age, many older individuals, particularly women, are facing new challenges and stresses.

Of particular relevance to Rich-mond is that many new immigrant seniors are arriving in B.C., mostly from China, India and the Philip-pines. Many of these individuals come with their families but a large amount (55 per cent according to BC Stats) does not speak either of the official languages.

As such, there will be growing difficulties for families with strong familial ties and in accessing services when there are language barriers.

Knowing that our population is aging and that we can anticipate a growing influx of immigrant se-niors we must support those who have served our communities and supported our families in times of need.

Whether you’re looking forward to Grandma’s homemade casserole or congee, all of us should be aim-ing to support our elders to gain access to healthy, nutritious foods so we can all grow older, wiser, and healthier.

opinion

Growing older, wiser and healthier

The provincial govern-ment has taken an im-portant step towards

reducing the cost of higher education, by endorsing open textbooks for 40 col-lege and university courses in the first and second year.

This is a solid recognition that the cost of textbooks is a severe impediment towards getting an education without going to an unrealistic level of debt. Text-books shoot up in price each year, it seems, and instructors require them for courses. Yet they often have little or no resale value, nor are they useful to most students in the longer term.

Open textbooks will be available for free on the Internet, and this is part of a wider trend to making more course material available online.

This is a concrete step forward and Advanced Education Min-ister and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap deserves credit for championing this initiative.

There are many other areas of

higher education also needing a good look. One is the high level of student debt.

Tuition fees have gone up steadily under the BC Liberals, and while they do need to rise, the province must balance the cost of tuition with other factors such as the cost of living. For students in the Lower Mainland and Victoria, the cost of living is high and the ability to obtain good-paying jobs to help finance education has diminished.

Another area the province must deal with is the types of non-aca-demic courses and training being offered. The NDP has proposed a much more intense approach to trades training, and this is needed.

Given news that a B.C. coal mine is importing workers from China, because B.C. apparently cannot supply trained workers, this must become a high priority. There is no way that B.C. should be importing miners from China to work in coal mines here—whether the mines are owned by Chinese companies or not.

Training in many other fields

also must be expanded. There is a need for highly-trained people in construction, computer design, aerospace, millwright work and many other fields. The B.C. government needs to examine if more focus should go into this training, and less on academic courses—given that many univer-

sity graduates are finding it dif-ficult to obtain jobs in their fields without going back to school for a master’s degree.

Advanced education has a direct bearing on B.C.’s future—eco-nomically and socially. It must be a priority.

The future is yoursRichmond invites you to comment on the new 2041 Official Community Plan

City Board


www.richmond.ca

After almost three years in the making, the new 2041 Official Community Plan (OCP) is undergoing final public and stakeholder review before it goes to Council for final approval. With the title, Moving Towards Sustainability, this new Official Community Plan sets the framework for Richmond’s future development to 2041.

The public has a number of opportunities to learn more about the new plan and to provide comment.

Why should you be interested? The OCP is a tool that helps assist Richmond City Council in managing to 2041, population and employment growth, development, housing, transportation, community amenities, infrastructure and the natural environment.

The updated plan includes •targetsforRichmond’spopulationtogrowto

280,000 by 2041, by allowing increased density in selected areas, while protecting existing single family neighbourhoods, farmland and environmentally sensitive areas

•stepstosupportRichmond’sagingpopulation •planstoreducerelianceontheautomobilefor

BackgroundThe City last updated its Official Community Plan in 1999. The new 2041 OCP Update was prepared along with extensive participation of residents, business owners and stakeholders. The process involved three major rounds of community consultation beginning in November 2009 with over 28 OCP public open houses over the three-year period, along with City-wide surveys, and online discussion forums.

The vision for the new 2041 OCP Update... is for Richmond to be a sustainable and healthy island city that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Editor:I must admit, I become ex-

tremely proud when I tell my peers that I live in a multicultural community. Which explains why I was left heartbroken after read-ing the articles regarding our MP Alice Wong and the Asian media-only invitation. Did she not think about the aftermath of her actions?

I can only hope that Alice realizes what she has done was completely and utterly unaccept-able and that she will try to make amends with sincere apologies to our fellow Richmondites.

Esther ChiangRichmond

Editor:MP Alice Wong should know bet-

ter than make a public manifesta-tion of her penchant for shark � ns. It is clearly a PR faux pas.

Defending her stand, she sinks deeper in dangerous waters and in what looks like a desperate move seeks federal cover. To sug-gest that the ban on shark � ns is a federal, not provincial, issue is to trivialize the passion of a local community in their e� ort to drive the humane message.

To declare that Ottawa has no intention to ban shark � ns does not make her case any less insensitive. Sadly she has reacted de� antly rather than understand-ing the cause of the people whom she represents. It is political na-

ivety. Will Ottawa now unequivo-cally commit itself to what she has said to save her skin?

Leo DanielRichmond

Editor: When I opened the Richmond

Review Wednesday and read the article on Alice Wong’s pathetic defence of shark � n soup, it is hard to say whether I was more horri� ed or dismayed. For an elected member of Parliament to so utterly fail to appreciate

the massively unethical nature of what she was doing is, quite frankly, astonishing. I would never, ever, vote for her.

Editor: Alice is FIN-ished.Shark � n soup should only be

Editor:Can we stop assuming

that all Chinese-Canadi-ans support shark fins?

Drive around Rich-mond and you’ll easily notice Chinese Buddhist and Tao temples which practice vegetarianism or veganism. People need to stop racializing the issue and cease attack-ing Chinese people or Chinese culture based on a select group of people who choose to play the race card for their political, entrepreneurial, or personal benefits.

We also need to be careful before sham-ing someone else for supporting shark fins. Do you wear fur or own a down jacket? Do you know the process of how cows and chickens are

slaughtered? Do you eat tuna, when certain species of bluefin tuna is endangered and yet still fished in Canada? Do you use products tested on rabbits and other ani-mals while they’re caged and kept in inhumane conditions?

As a vegetarian, I find it hypocritical when I see people getting upset about shark fins when they’re walking around with leather bags and fur boots.

Mr. David Chung is a businessman and res-taurateur—do you really believe that he is a com-mitted advocator for pre-serving Chinese culture and tradition? His main concern is most likely not losing the profit he makes from serving $100 a dish

for the soup. He would react in the same way as any fur or leather or down jacket business person does when their product is in jeopardy. The real issue is profit, not Chinese tradition.

Yet regardless whether it’s about shark fins or leather and fur prod-ucts—we should ap-proach these issues with conversation, education, and solution. Not by insulting others, not by bringing race or ethnicity into the issue, and not by sensationalizing the topic. I sincerely look forward to seeing more intellectual discussions from those who are not blinded by all the media sensationalism.

Crystal Lin Richmond

Editor:It looks like MP Alice

Wong’s “shark fin photo-op” has spectacularly backfired.

In attempting to win the favour with a select group of people, she is actually promoting the extinction of a species.

Let’s hope she keeps up with her reviews of the Richmond restaurants with non-sustainable food sourcing practices. That way we can all make informed choices about which restaurants not to patronize.

De Whalen Richmond

Editor:I am embarrassed that

my elected representa-tive, Alice Wong, has taken such a wrong-

headed public stand on shark fin soup.

She says shark fin products are a federal responsibility and the cities should essentially “butt out.” If you follow her logic, then presum-ably, as a sitting member of the ruling govern-ment, she is promoting government policy.

By holding a photo-op press conference, she seems to say that as far as the federal govern-ment is concerned, it is OK to slaughter one of our ocean’s top preda-tors. These magnificent creatures are often killed via the unimaginable cruel practice of cutting off their fin and throw-ing the shark back in the water to suffer a slow and painful death. Why are we creating a market and demand for this practice and contribut-ing to the extinction of many shark species?

Alice Wong hides be-hind the statement that the government only allows appropriately harvested sharks. But, experts (who are not just out to get re-elected) say that the government

has no means to control what is imported and how it is harvested.

Ms. Wong dem-onstrates shameful behaviour by using this issue as a means of self-promotion.

Obviously, her ambi-tion to get re-elected is more important than the survival of a species and terrible treatment of another living creature.

Alice Wong may be trying to say through her actions that she represents her constitu-ents. But she sure does not represent me.

Steve GuthrieRichmond

Editor:Alice Wong has not

learned anything about what happens when a politician did what Gordon Campbell did with the HST—he did not think that voters would do anything when he did not read the public mood regarding a new tax.

I have been asking city council members what their position is regard-ing a ban in Richmond on shark fin soup being sold. Our council mem-

bers are astute politi-cians—the answer is no decision has been made. It is under review. The answer is a wise one—the city councillors have decided to wait and see what happens regard-ing public opinion. They have no position, there-fore they do not offend anyone. That is how they get re-elected. Time will determine where they will position themselves re supporting a ban or not.

Alice Wong, on the other hand, is pander-ing to a specific voting group. Voters now know where she stands. Enjoy your shark fin soup, Alice. Now that you poked me in the eye with a chopstick I will not vote for you again.

Editor:It was indeed disgusting to

see the photograph of Rich-mond MP Alice Wong, relishing a bowl of shark fin soup at the Jade Seafood Restaurant and enjoying the taste of a soon-to-be-extinct species.

Alice Wong has shown lack of sensitivity and portrayed herself as a person who cares more for the greedy pockets of local business than for the environment.

I am sure she must have not had to pay for the soup, as she was apparently using her status as MP to advertise for the Jade.

Inviting only Chinese media was racism that will be appar-ent in Richmond in the not-too-distant future.

It is all too clear that she rep-resents only one community in Richmond.

Since the issue here is cul-ture, I would think that the im-migration department should permit cannibals to immigrate to Richmond and practice their culture by opening restaurants serving sliced cold tongue and what have you, of human body parts considering it is their cul-tural right to eat such things. This would be multiculturalism at its finest.

I don’t think that the good nature-loving people of Rich-mond would want an environ-mental disaster like Alice Wong to represent them anywhere, least of all, in Parliament.

Who knows what other sur-prises she has in store for us?

Were I a cartoonist, I would draw a cartoon showing Alice Wong and David Chung in a huge cooking pot placed on a fire surrounded by cannibals, with Alice Wong saying “David, don’t you think you went a little too far with this culture thing?”

This is not representative of the Richmond that I live and work in. But clearly representative of the single-minded community of Richmond that this MP represents. A blatant, and staged attempt to ensure that she is properly aligned with her ‘sup-porters’.

Perhaps she should be wearing ivory as well in this despicable photo-op.

Editor:Shame on you Alice Wong,

shame on you. As a federal representative of

the electorate in Richmond, you are expected to take an informed stand on matters of public con-cern and show some leadership in your decision making. In de-ciding to side with the purveyors of shark fin soup you have shown yourself to be uninformed, toadying to your friends and sup-porters while ignoring the much larger picture.

Alice, it doesn’t matter if the shark fins are caught legally or illegally. It doesn’t matter if the government certifies these shark fins as meeting their standards so that they can be imported into Canada. No Alice, what you are completely missing is that the party is going to be over very soon for you and your friends who continue to dine on a food which has no taste, no nutritional value and is served only as a show of ceremony.

The big picture, Alice, is that

the oceans of the world cannot maintain the slaughter of 10 mil-lion sharks a year. Their numbers are seriously declining, and the fishery will collapse in about 6-10 years according to leading ocean and fisheries experts. And then what Alice? What will you then consume for your ceremony? I can tell you what it won’t be—it won’t be shark fins, because all the sharks will be gone.

This is not a renewable re-source, Alice, you don’t grow sharks in ponds like you do trout or carp or catfish. Sharks need large spaces in the oceans to survive. They feed on seals and whales and many other food sources.

As a federal MP you should be aware of this, and your leader-ship efforts should be aimed at teaching these facts to the Asian community, working for and with them to voluntarily and unilaterally give up the consumption of this foodstuff as an answer to saving a hugely valuable resource for the world’s

oceans. This is where the Asian community as a whole has got to come to—they have to be made aware that they are in danger of affecting the world food supply which we derive from the oceans every day. Sharks are an important part of keeping the balance maintained in the oceans. But people world-wide can wipe out this balance all too quickly. Do you have some plan to replace this loss, Alice? Or will you just ignore it until it overruns all of us and then wonder what happened.

In inviting only the Asian media to your luncheon soiree you have become what many of us who live in Richmond had feared would happen – you have become the member of Parliament for the Chinese in Richmond. Shame on you again. You have lost my respect for you, and you have lost my trust. Worst of all, you have lost my vote.

Shame on MP for shark fin soup

Garden City lands need careful planningEditor:

Such a great opportu-nity for Richmond resi-dents only arrives once a generation, and it takes a generation or more to properly achieve the best result, so great care must be taken with each such opportunity.

Richmond’s population is projected to increase 80,000 by 2041 with the vast majority of new residents moving in downtown in the city centre area. The Garden City Lands will likely be the largest community area in Richmond, and it is within walking distance of city centre and our rapid transit. City centre residents will depend heavily on the Garden City Lands for much of their park, recreation, and open space needs, and the lands will also attract residents and visitors from other areas.

The Garden City lands are as large as Minoru Park and Terra Nova Rural Park combined.

Richmond needs to take everything learned at every prior park and community centre, then consult extensively with the public, and ensure the result is better than ev-erything done previously. The Garden City lands are large enough to bring together all facets of the community, and time and care must be taken in their planning to ensure that they do so.

opinion

Soccer fans look-ing for answers following this

week’s embarrassing 8-1 loss by the Ca-nadian men’s soccer team to Honduras in Olympic qualifying, don’t have to look far.

Just visit your local soc-cer pitch and watch youth soccer, and although participation levels are high, beneath the surface hides a not-insignificant problem that’s gnawing away at the grassroots of this beautiful sport.

As with many sports groups, volunteers are invaluable in the every-day function of the local soccer associations.

Not uncommonly, parents with little or no knowledge of soccer are urged to become coaches

or managers for their child’s team.

And herein lies the problem.

Overly enthusiastic par-ents blinded by a desire to live vicariously through their child’s victories, are failing to see the bigger picture.

They don’t see the need to make teams at the lowest levels of soccer as equal as possible in terms of skills. Spread the wealth of soccer skills, so to speak. In doing so, there’s parity on the pitch, and all levels of players have a chance to experi-ence victory and enjoy being part of a team that deals with the ups and downs of sport. But what’s ideal on the draw-ing board doesn’t always materialize.

How do I know about this shortcoming? I’ve lived it. My initial foray into volunteer coaching came when I learned that some 15 local boys might lose out on an oppor-tunity to play, if another parent didn’t step forward to coach.

For two years now, I’ve actively coached the teams two of my sons play for.

And in doing so, I’ve been involved in a prac-tice called drafting, where soccer registrants are divvied up into teams.

This year, as I sat at O’Hare’s pub with other volunteer coaches, I ex-pressed my ignorance, and urged these other parents to help me out in the selection of players, none of whom I knew.

The silence was deafen-ing. Yet in the case of one parent, each time he selected, he sud-denly remembered who was good. The result: unbalanced teams and lopsided scores.

Another buddy of mine, whose daughter also plays locally, noticed that another team was stacked with strong play-ers, while his daughter’s team was relatively weak.

That was no accident, it turns out, as that parent again didn’t understand the bigger picture.

No child enjoys losing games week in and week out. At the younger age levels, scores aren’t supposed to be kept, but anyone who’s a parent will know that kids keep score no matter what their coaches or parents

say.The consequence is that

children who could be-come top-notch players one day, are instead left to suffer because of those who don’t see that a love for any sport takes nurtur-ing. Once disappointed, these athletes instead turn to other sports, like hockey, basketball, volley-ball and softball, seeking a better experience.

So what does this have to do with the men’s na-tional team and its failed World Cup aspirations?

For decades now, soccer leaders across Canada have flashed only parochial thinking, and been too wrapped up with individual agendas, instead of seeing the big-ger picture.

Whether it’s a narrow-minded parent wanting their child to win at all cost, or a rep coach refus-ing to lose his top players to a higher-calibre league, the outcome is the same: disappointment and a beautiful game turned ugly by selfishness.

That’s about as un-Canadian as it gets, and why the World Cup stage will remain elusive for some time.

Selfishness slows soccer’s ascent

It was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when

I took my first all-transit trip from Victoria to Vancou-ver for a B.C. Lions football game.

Despite all the doom-saying about people shunning ferries because of some media-deter-mined “tipping point” in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsaw-wassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds, and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus, walk-on passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. This explains the surge in walk-on traffic.

BC Ferries issued bul-letins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. The Tsawwassen First Nation’s shuttle park-ing next door was over-flowing, with cars tucked into every level space. And even with hourly sail-ings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all available vessels running.

Now the long, late summer is gone, and the political theatre resumes. Transportation Minister Mary Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, remind-ing people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of running vessels a third full or less.

This comes as “consulta-tion” begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered B.C. Ferry Commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about four per cent in each of the next three years.

The NDP’s ferry critic,

North Coast MLA Garry Coons, has also decided to transition to his gov-ernment pensions next year. But before he sails away, he has doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two.

Along with every coffee-shop know-it-all on the coast, Coons perpetually reminds us that ferries are “part of our highway system.” He remains con-vinced that this financially illiterate cliché somehow deals with the fact that even a subsidy approach-ing $200 million this year can’t keep all those boats afloat forever.

A family of four on a long driving trip faces similar price increases, when you factor in tolls, insurance, food and other costs beyond the fuel tank. But for some reason the “government” is supposed to provide special relief to those who choose the most inacces-sible places to live.

Coons’ latest tack is that BC Ferries has lost its way, trying to be a fancy cruise ship service instead of giving people basic transportation at an affordable price. That

would be terrible if it were true. But those ameni-ties on newer vessels are there because they make money, utilizing staff who have to be on board anyway. As everyone but the NDP seems to grasp, the big costs are fuel, maintenance, and minimum crew levels to meet federal regulations, regardless of passenger revenue.

I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new Coastal-class ferries kept

vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. Good thing somebody was able to understand ferries as a business, as opposed to a welfare program for the reclusive and the rich.

BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the Tsaw-wassen-Duke Point route. As described in an earlier column, this needlessly long run is the big-gest boondoggle in BC

Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today.

Changes will now come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them.

Personal Injury Law, ICBC Claims“Experienced representation for serious injuries”

604-273-8518 • Suite 300-5900 No. 3 Road, Richmondwww.hughesco.com • Free Initial Consultation

With June, the gradu-ation month justaround the corner,our thoughts turn tonew drivers, especial-ly new teenage driv-ers. Last week wedescribed BritishColumbia’s original

Graduated LicensingProgram [GLP]. Thegoal of the originalprogram, introducedin August 1998, was to tackle the awfulstatistics: 35% of all deaths in the 13 to21 year s age group caused by car acci-dents; and 20% of all new drivers involved in crashes within their first two years ofdriving.

Initially the results were positive. Duringthe first two years, the new driver crashrate went down 26%. But most of theimprovement was by Learners rather thanNovices who remained 45% more likelythan experienced drivers to be involved incrashes.

The carnage continued. On March 21st,2002, four Delta teens were killed whenthe teen driver failed to stop at a stop signat the intersection of 57B Street andDeltaport Way and was broadsided by asemi-trailer. The teen driver, licensed foronly two weeks, was the only survivor.On May 31st, 2003, a 19-year-old driverand his three friends, after watching ahockey game and drinking, attempted todrive home together. The driver wove inand out of traffic at high speed and col-lided with a truck on the other side of ablind hill on Cedar Hill Road in Victoria.In this case, the three friends and thetruck driver survived while the teen driv-er was killed. On July 18th, 2003, fourfriends were involved in a single-carhigh-speed crash on the Old IslandHighway. Their car crashed into a con-

crete utility pole justbefore 4 a.m. All fourwere thrown from thecar. Two of the fourdied from their injuries.

Prompted by thesetragic events andresults in other GLPjurisdictions, the BCgovernment madechanges to the programthat came into effect onOctober 7, 2003. These

changes are more than fine-tuning. Theyextend the basic two-year term of theGLP to three years: a 12-month Learnerterm (reducible by 3 months for certifieddriving training) plus a 24 consecutive,prohibition-free month Novice term. ALearner must be accompanied by asupervisor 25 years of age or older with avalid Class I-5 driver’s license and mayhave only one passenger in addition tothe supervisor. A Novice is limited toone passenger only, excluding immediatefamily members, unless he or she isaccompanied by a supervising driver 25years or older. Immediate family mem-bers are defined as father, mother, broth-er, sister, spouse, children, and grandpar-ent including the same step or foster rela-tions. Novices who receive a driving pro-hibition must go back to the beginning ofthe novice stage, that is, they lose allaccumulated driving experience time andmust start again at Month 1. For a com-plete outline of all the Learner andNovice rules, visit the ICBC websitewww.icbc.com.

The immediate reaction to these changeswas predictably mixed. With fingers-crossed, we look forward to positiveresults from these changes to the pro-gram.

In October 2005, following a particularly bad September in the lower mainland for road fatalities, injuries, and calamities—recall the evacuation of over 1,000 people in Abbottsford when a tanker truck crashed and spilled gas and diesel into the storm sewer system—Road Rules attempted to offer comfort in the knowledge that at least Canada had a plan, a goal, a vision for making its roads the safest in the world. This plan, called Road Safety Vision 2010 [RSV 2010] was a renewal of Road Safety Vision 2001, Canada’s first national road safety plan launched in 1996.

Authored by the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators [CCMTA] and endorsed by all the levels of government in Canada – given that responsibility for motor vehicle transportation and highway safety is divided amongst the various levels – the Vision initiative, since first introduced, had already contributed to a 6% decrease in road user fatalities and a 15% decrease in road users seriously injured in Canada. These results were all the more impressive given that the road user population had increased steadily throughout the measurement period.

Like all good plans, RSV 2010 had strategic objectives and targets. Making Canadian roads the safest in the world would be achieved by raising public awareness of road safety issues, improving communication, cooperation and collaboration amongst road safety agencies, enhancing enforcement measures, and improving national road safety data collection and quality. The national target was a 30% decrease in the average number of road users killed or seriously injured during the 2008-2010 period over comparable 1996-2001 figures.

Achievement would mean fewer than 2,100 fatalities and less than 11,600 serious injuries annually. The sub-targets focused on increasing

seat belt and proper child restraint use to 95% amongst light duty vehicle occupants, and on decreasing fatalities and serious injuries by 20% to 40% in crashes involving unbelted occupants, drinking drivers, vulnerable road users, young drivers and riders, commercial vehicles, rural roadways, intersections, and speeding.

Transport Canada’s web page, An Update on the Progress of Road Safety Vision 2010, is a mix of pie charts, bar graphs, lists and trend lines. Almost all of these indicators show progress. Dated July 2011, it notes that, “Final assessment of [the] improved level of road safety in Canada resulting from [the] RSV 2010 initiative will be made when 2010 crash data become available.” Transport Canada’s National Collision Database Online shows 2,419 fatalities for 2008, the latest year for which statistics are available.

In the meantime, planning to realize the original vision continues. A successor plan – Road Safety Strategy 2015 [RSS 2015] has been designed to be more flexible, to take a more “holistic approach” – better acknowledging the “interdependencies that exist between drivers, roads and vehicle safety design” – and to make accessible “a framework of ‘best practice’ strategies that jurisdictions may use to address key road safety areas and risk groups.”

At the national level, rate-based measures recording fatalities per 100,000 population and per millions of kilometers travelled will replace “hard percentage targets.” Obviously the five-year time frame of RSS 2015 is a change. For more details: http://www.ccmta.ca/crss-2015/index.php.

Expect insurmountable public opposition to a strategy of simply slapping tolls on existing bridges to fund TransLink.

But charging every driver a lower and more broadly based charge on each ki-lometre travelled might work in Metro Vancouver – especially if it’s offset by a cut in some existing taxes.

That was some of the advice Metro Vancouver leaders heard Thursday from a panel of interna-tional experts at a forum on regional tolling orga-nized by Surrey Mayor Di-anne Watts.

A road pricing system could include free home zones for motorists, who wouldn’t pay per kilome-tre charges until they cross a zone boundary into a dif-ferent city.

Someone in Surrey could drive within Surrey “all day long” but only pay if they cross a zone bound-ary into New Westminster, suggested Jack Opiola, a Virginia-based road toll-ing and transport policy consultant.

“When I leave my home zone and travel into some-body else’s I know I pay a fee,” he said. “That way everybody pays their fair share.”

Ideally, panelists said, road pricing could substi-tute for much of the exist-ing gas tax, which is declin-ing anyway, and possibly even reduce property tax a bit.

“It’s going to be a tough sell to say we’re going to keep taxing you on your gas and ask you to pay a per-mile charge,” said Ed-ward Regan, a transporta-tion and tolling policy au-thority from Connecticut. “But if it’s one instead of the other that’s certainly much more viable.”

The push by mayors to-wards road-use charges here springs from both TransLink’s troubled quest for sustainable fund-ing and a growing sense among civic leaders that tolling just a couple of bridges is unfair and may inefficiently distort traffic patterns.

Most other jurisdictions are grappling with some of the same challenges as TransLInk, particularly a gas tax that raises less money for transit each year as vehicles get more efficient and more electric cars hit the road.

Panelists said several U.S. jurisdictions – from Wash-ington’s Puget Sound to Los Angeles – are contem-plating a shift to forms of road pricing, typically by

charging a few cents per mile travelled.

Regan said it’s also wise to find ways to provide benefits to drivers, rather than merely a high-tech

method to take their money. He said GPS-based systems to charge road usage fees can also be used to advise driv-ers on less-congested

alternate routes, or per-haps guide them to a free parking spot and automatically pay for it. In Dallas-Fort Worth, he said, tolls on planned

new express lanes will vary by route and change according to congestion levels, in an effort to en-sure those lanes are free flowing.

Drivers will get a toll re-bate if traffic fails to flow at a guaranteed minimum speed.

Even with the best ideas in play, panelists warned

the policy road to toll sys-tems is littered with failed efforts, including New York City’s aborted attempt to introduce a London-style congestion charge.

Road pricing viable but tricky in Metro Vancouverperts

Transit officials say there is no surplus, funds will be used


The federal govern-ment could at the stroke of a pen solve TransLink’s cash crunch by letting it spend a growing pile of federal gas tax money on oper-ating costs, not just to buy buses.

That’s the argument Metro Vancouver direc-tors are making and they’re asking Ottawa to make the change, free-

ing up about $120 mil-lion per year in gas tax that the federal govern-ment already offers but TransLink has not been fully spending.

“All of our problems would be solved – the expansion we’ve re-quested could occur,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told the Metro Vancouver board Friday.

Ottawa hands over most of the gas tax it collects to cities and in Metro Vancouver it is allocated to TransLink. It’s separate from the 17 cents a litre that Trans-Link directly collects and can spend without restriction.

But TransLink is not allowed to spend the

federal tax on anything but new transit vehicles when what it really needs is operating mon-ey to pay the drivers, fuel and maintenance bills to run more of the buses it already owns.

As a result, the un-spent federal gas tax fund has ballooned to a $400-million fund that has politicians salivat-ing.

They say it would eas-ily allow TransLink to avoid the controversial $30 million increase in annual property taxes that mayors want to rescind, while restoring all of the promised tran-sit upgrades that have been carved out of the latest plan.

“It seems absolutely crazy,” Corrigan said. “We are mothballing buses of serviceable use because we don’t have enough money to put them on the street.”

Two years ago Trans-Link was restricted by Ottawa from using the transferred gas tax for road work or bike lanes.

Metro also wants those options restored to broaden the number

of eligible capital proj-ects.

TransLink executive vice-president Bob Paddon said Metro di-rectors are mistaken in thinking there’s some sort of surplus available to be tapped or that TransLink isn’t making full use of the trans-ferred tax.

He said all of the money will go to capi-tal projects – replace-

ment buses and com-munity shuttles are on order – but the money from the restricted ac-count won’t flow un-til TransLink receives them, leaving a gap of a couple of years that shows on the books as unspent.

“It’s not as if this is not going to be spent,” Pad-don said. “It’s all going to be spent – when the order is complete.”

He said Ottawa doesn’t allow the gas tax to be used for oper-ating expenses.

Even if it did, he said, TransLink could not treat it as a reliable ongoing source as it is subject to federal re-newal and is not per-manent.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender also cautioned that us-ing the gas tax fund for operating costs would leave less avail-able down the road for capital spending, add-ing that might merely trade the short-time crisis for longer-term challenges.

Mayors eye unspent federal gas tax for TransLink

TransLink has more buses than it can afford to run, so Metro Vancouver politicians want permission to spend a $400-million gas tax transfer fund on operations and not be limited to new vehicle purchases.

Controversial transit cuts don’t cover long-term needs


A provincial audit says TransLink could save an extra $41 million a year but even that is not expected to solve the transportation author-ity’s current cash crunch or its need for new long-term funding to expand transit.

Some of the measures proposed are controver-sial because they would further degrade transit frequency, reversing TransLink’s strategy of fostering new ridership in underserved areas.

The biggest area � agged for savings would see TransLink

budget less conserva-tively and run with thin-ner � nancial reserves, even though cutting that too far could harm debt ratings and its abil-ity to borrow cheaply.

The wait between o� -peak SkyTrains should be one to two minutes longer, the review rec-ommends.

And it says too many bus routes run with too few passengers, even at peak times, calling for 22 underused routes to be either scrapped, run at reduced frequency or converted to commu-nity shuttles.

The report found 43 per cent of bus routes run at less than half ca-pacity, consuming $56 million a year. It also cites high operating costs and low produc-tivity for community shuttles and HandyDart service.

“A balance must also be sought between service for users and ef-� ciency of operations,”

the report said, noting TransLink sometimes bends to demands from cities or from commu-nity pressure rather

than basing decisions on technical or � nancial merit.

The report also sug-gests $5 million a year

could be saved by cut-ting Transit Police and security to pre-Olympic levels after SkyTrain fare gates are activated and fare evasion drops.

The audit was or-dered last spring when Premier Christy Clark rejected area mayors’ pleas for new funding sources for TransLink, saying a deeper search for internal savings was needed before consid-ering contentious ideas like a vehicle levy or road tolling.

The audit’s proposed savings are in addition to $98 million a year TransLink has already carved out of its new base plan.

Transportation Minis-ter Mary Polak said the new options help but don’t solve the need for sustainable funding, especially with Metro Vancouver’s population rising by one million in the next two decades.

“We look for a silver bullet in these reports, but it isn’t there,” she said.

“While there are areas where TransLink can � nd e� ciencies, areas where they can perform better, nevertheless it is, overall, a well-run orga-nization.

“There is a need for more funding if we are to meet the needs of the region going forward.”

Polak said she will work with the mayors to discuss new cash sources, provided they win public support.

TransLink must draw up a new 30-year vi-sion for transit service

by next August – after the May provincial elec-tion – but Polak said she wants to begin talks “as quickly as possible.”

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, vice-chair of the mayors’ council, said TransLink and mayors will have to carefully evaluate what further cuts to consider.

“The bottom line is there is not a pot of money that can over-come the gap that TransLink faces,” he said.

Mayors are expected to debate Thursday whether they want TransLink to prepare a new negative supple-ment to rescind the previously approved time-limited property tax increase of $30 mil-lion for 2013 and 2014.

Such a move could trigger more transit ser-

vice reductions and a formal vote early in the new year after extensive public consultations.

TransLink’s current plan calls for the launch of the new Highway 1 RapidBus from Langley and a new King George B-Line in Surrey, but as-sumes the property tax hike will stay in place.

Fassbender said he hopes the mayors’ coun-cil “takes a breath” and fully considers the audit rather than rashly chop-ping the tax.

“If we don’t leave the property tax compo-nent there we will be cutting signi� cant num-bers of bus hours in the region,” he warned.

A two-cent gas tax increase approved last year is covering Trans-Link’s contribution to build the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam.

But the mayors last year approved the prop-erty tax hike on the ex-pectation it would not actually be used and a di� erent source, such as a vehicle levy, would substitute for it.

Long-term funding is needed not just for general bus service improvement but also more rapid transit lines now being planned to run through Surrey to Langley and White Rock and west in Vancouver along Broadway to UBC.

TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler said management will con-sider what more can be adjusted based on the audit, but added route cuts would a� ect riders.

She said axing a bus route that runs only 30 per cent full now but is growing and could reach 65 per cent in � ve years could leave resi-dents without a transit option, forcing them into cars.

Olewiler suggests the region needs to con-sider whether it’s an acceptable trade-o� to pay a bit more for some bus routes in order to ensure there’s a broad network of usable bus service running often enough.

“There’s not a lot of low-hanging fruit – given that they agree completely with us on the e� ciencies we have already identi� ed,” she said of the audit.

“We are going to do everything possible to � nd both the long-term solution and keep our system whole.”

Flu season is coming, what is the best way to protect myself against the flu?

Influenza (the flu) is a contagious airborne respiratory illness caused by viruses that can affect the nose, throat, and lungs. If you have ever had the flu, you might recall a week of fatigue, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. If you have medical conditiions

such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, or COPD, your flu symptoms might even be more severe and can lead to hospitalization and secondary infections.

The best way to protect against the flu is with your annual flu vaccination. This year’s flu vaccinations protect against 3 different strains of the virus; H1N1 (aka SARS), H3N2 (aka swine flu), and the seasonal flu. Flu vaccinations are free for seniors over the age of 65, for families with children under the age of 5, and for those who have or live with someone who has medical conditions that increase the risk of complications of the flu. Also important to note is that many of the flu vaccinations made available do not contain thimerosol.

This year, Pharmasave has once again partnered with Richmond Family Place to do flu vaccinations at our store starting October 30th, 2012. For each flu vaccination we perform, Pharmasave will be donating 3 pounds of food to Richmond Family Place for their Wednesday Night Meals Program and their Saturday Breakfast Program. To learn more about these programs, visit www.richmondfamilyplace.ca or contact us today to find our more about our flu vaccinations!

A:Q:

Q: What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

A: BMI or the Quetelet index (as it was first devised by a Belgian polymath Adolph Quetelet sometime between 1830 and 1850) is a heuristic proxy for human body fat. It is defined by dividing person’s weight in kiligrams by square of his or her height in meters. This produces a universally accepted unit of measure in medicine in KG/M square. It can also me determined by BMI chart.BMI does not measure one’s body fat. However, it serves as vague mean of estimating adiposity. A BMI of 18.5 to 25 is considered optimal, less than 18.5 suggests underweight, over 30 is obese and over 40 is morbidly obese.Ideal BMI is very important for good health. Individuals with BMI greater than 30 are at a higher risk of having hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, strokes, coronary artery disease, gall bladder stones, sleep apnea and certain cancers such as endometrial, colon and breast.With holiday season around the corner, lets work at keeping our weight in check by staying active, watching our diet and alcohol intake. We certainly can not manipulate our heights.Until next time, this is your local family doctor, Dr. Satnam Gandham MD.The information included in this column is for educational purposes only.

Q: How can chiropractors help to promote health?

A: First we should look at what the definition of health is, and according to Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, “health is a state of optimal physical, mental., and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” We can not base our health on the absence of symptoms alone. For example, disease processes can be ongoing in the body without symptoms, we can see this with tooth decay, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc. A more constructive thought presented by Hanse Selye was “the ability of your body to accurately interpret and appropriately adapt to lifestyle stresses” is what determines our level of health. The spine and nervous system are what control your body’s ability to interpret and respond to its surroundings. As chiropractors our job is to reduce or eliminate interference to the nervous system by detecting and correcting spinal subluxations, misalignments in the spine. Subluxations may be present without symptoms. Chiropractors remove interference to the nervous system by providing adjustments to correct subluxations. When we do this, the body is in a better position to express its optimal health. We often treat our teeth better than our spines by getting regular dental check-ups. We need to make getting our spines checked for proper function a part of our lifelong journey towards better health regardless of our expression of symptoms.Call our office for a complimentary consultation.

Q: Why does my dentist want to put a crown (cap) on my tooth that had a root canal?

A: When the pulp, or nerve in a tooth dies and the nerve canal inside the root is disinfected and sealed up with an internal filling (root canal filing), the tooth no longer has a blood supply. It’s a “dead” tooth. If it happens to be a tooth which gets used for chewing like the back teeth do then it takes a lot of biting force. Usually a tooth that has a root canal-type problem has already had it’s share of previous problems and dental work. It may have had a large and/or deep filling done years ago. This by itself will compromise the strength of a tooth. The nerve/pulp inside may succumb to problems later. In any case a root canal filling doesn’t strengthen a tooth. In only makes it’s innerds pain/problem free. However, like a dead tree branch this tooth is more prone to bigger fracture problems than a live tooth. Especially if its one of your heavy “chewers”. Covering the tooth with a crown/cap or other type of “lid” will prevent you from chipping, breaking or splitting off more of the tooth. If an internal crack develops before a crown can be placed, it typically starts out small (like a crack in your windshield). However given enough time and chewing the crack can extend and eventually a piece of tooth can break off simply because it was ready to go. A crown/cap works like a helmet for the tooth preventing future fracture. Front teeth are not as at risk of this as back teeth because we (normally) don’t chew with our front teeth.

Q: Do the Regulations permit our strata corporation to conduct our own Depreciation Report?

A: Technically, the regulations do not prohibit a strata corporation from preparing their own depreciation report; however, consider the requirements of the Act & Regulations and the liabilities first. A person (when applied also means the consulting firm or group of certified professionals who make the proposal) is going to have to be identified as providing the report. If it is the strata corporation providing their own report, then it will be disclosed in the report that the information has been provided by the strata corporation, and/or specific individuals. You will have to disclose in the report who that is and the liability, qualifications and competency of that person. In addition to providing a planning tool for renewals, maintenance and financial planning for the strata corporation, the report also imposes a level of liability on the strata corporation for accuracy. Remember that the report may be used by insurance providers, mortgage providers and mortgage insurers, and most of all, buyers. This is an official report, and will be used to determine a buyer’s qualifications for a mortgage, to establish risk for insurers, and for buyers to determine their future liabilities, before they make a decision or make on offer for purchase. Throughout all of these transactions, the strata corporation is exposed to liability.At Campbell & Pound Commercial/Depreciationreport.com, the company along with each professional Reserve Fund Planner/RFP team members all carry $ 2,000,000.00 in Professional Liability Insurance which protects the Strata Corporation and its owners.

Q: Friends have told me that a mortgage broker is only able to help applicants who have damaged or bad credit, is that true?

A: No that is not true. Mortgage brokers can facilitate mortgages for anyone - whether you excellent credit, bad credit, or anything in between. We have access to most of the big banks - TD, Scotia, Coast Capital, to name a few - as well as lots of other lenders you may not have heard of that are specific to mortgage lending only. Each of these lenders has their own niche or specialty which is why we can help anyone get financing!

Did you also know that the rates we have access to from the banks is usually better than what they post to their own clients walking in the door! And these rates can change daily depending on many factors such as world events, bond yields and individual lenders promotions. At times a lender will advise us of an unpublished rate special that only applies for a specific amount of time and only for a specific term.

So in order to stay up to date with all the information, we provide a monthly newsletter that is based on home ownership, mortgage information, education and recent trends. So if you own a home and have a mortgage or are considering buying, consolidating debt, doing renovations, or any other reason, we think you would benefit from the newsletter.

Q: Should I get a ski rack or cargo box?

A: Ski & snowboard racks are generally less expensive (Starting at $100) and take up less space than a cargo box.

Typically used for just ski or snowboards they can also be used for other items such as � shing rods, or long narrow items that need to be carried on a vehicle. Ski racks are also much smaller making them easier to store when not in use.

If you can justify the higher cost (Starting at $400) a cargo box offers a few additional bene� ts. Your ski & snowboards are not exposed to the elements such as road grime and salt. Items are not visible, reducing the risk of the contents being stolen. Boxes can also be used for a multitude of other items like hockey, lacrosse or camping equipment, as well as provides additional storage space for almost any vehicle.

From a safety standpoint, a box also allows you to store items that may not � t in your trunk, keeping them from becoming a projectile inside your vehicle in the event of a sudden stop.

If you are in the market for a ski & snowboard rack, you may want to consider a cargo box. We carry 20+ models of cargo boxes in stock with varying sizes, colours and additional features and bene� ts to suit your needs.

Q: I was in your store and saw a box filled with banknotes from different countries. I thought it might be interesting to collect as many different countries as I could. Do you have many world banknotes?

A: World banknotes are very popular to collect. Some people collect one note from every country, like you are thinking of doing. Others collect by region (ie. Europe, Asia or Latin America). A popular way to collect is by topic. I have collectors for animals, birds, ships and dictators. Modern notes are so colourful and beautiful that you will be amazed.

We have twelve binders filled with World banknotes that are priced from $1 to $200. We also have a box filled with notes priced at 50¢.

P.S. Canadians think that our plastic banknotes are rather unique, however there are over 40 countries that have issued polymer notes, as they are properly called, and we carry notes from most of them.

Q: do I have to run the water when I use the garburator?

A: YES. You must run a good flow of water until the grinding has stopped. In fact, it is a good idea to run cold water down the garburator before grinding food particles and then also after the grinding has stopped as well. This will ensure that the food particles from your dishes are on their way to sewage plant and not clogging your pipes or backing up your dishwasher.The most important thing to remember about a garburator is that it is designed to work with your plumbing to dispose of food scraps through your drain pipes. If you don’t run enough water before and after you turn the garburator on, you will not send the food particles completely through the disks that cut up the food and you will also not send the food all the way out of your drainage pipes.If food particles get stuck in the disks of your garburator, this will cause the motor to stop working and will probably throw of the power. The first thing to do in this case is to press the red restart button on the disposer. If you hear a humming, but not the motor moving, you may have to take a few steps to get your garburator working again.However, the best way to avoid problems with your garburator in the first place is to make sure that the food particles you put down it are small and that you run plenty of cold water down the drain before and after you use it.

I’m trying to workout regularly but with all of the different diets out there, I find it very difficult to know what I should and shouldn’t be eating. What is the best diet to follow to stay lean and

maintain a healthy bodyweight?

I agree with you completely. There are numerous diet books out there all preaching different methods to help you achieve your goals. For the most part, eating healthy comes down to a few key things: quantity of food, quality of food, and timing of food. When it comes to quantity of food, most of us are eating too much at

any given meal or snack. By simply reducing portion sizes, you can greatly reduce your caloric intake and that can help a great deal in maintaining a healthy bodyweight. Eating quality foods can be a bit trickier but as a general rule, try to eat more foods that come from natural sources like lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Limit your consumption of refined and processed carbohydrates as well as saturated and trans fats. Lastly, the timing of your meals is also important as you want to have your largest meals earlier in the day and eat progressively smaller meals as the day goes on. This allows you to burn the majority of your calories throughout the day reducing the risk of storing excess calories as fat. Follow these three simple rules and you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goals.

Yours in health,Isaac Payne

A:

Q:

Q: I have a wood-burning fireplace and wish to switch to the convenience of gas, what should I know before I choose a new gas insert?

A: Great question. Firstly, your wood-burning fireplace should be in good working condition and have a safe chimney. The easiest way to determine if your fireplace and chimney are ready to switch to gas, is to have a certified Chimney Sweep clean all soot and debris from the flue and firebox. During this process they can note if any deficiencies are present. If so, they need to be corrected.

Once you are ready, gathering details such as firebox size, chimney height, and location of gas will allow us to narrow down choices available in our showroom. We can work with your finishing wish list and match style choices such as contemporary burners versus traditional designs or heat producing versus decorative appliances.

Finally, having a personal consultation in your home will allow you to make final decisions and us to establish an exact quotation.

the Security and Services Act and Regulations of B.C. and a member of the Private Investigators Association of B.C. (PIABC).

Q: Does your company do CSI work?

A: Yes, primarily in the civil law sector, but any investigation can easily become a criminal code matter given the nature of the work we do. The techniques of investigation, and the rules of evidence, are the same in the private investigative world as they are in regular state run law enforcement. Many of us have been trained to work in both civil and criminal matters. However, working in the private sector is much different than working in law enforcement as we tend to have more investigative freedom and fewer restrictions within the corporate environments we work in. We catch criminals but we also advise and train corporate managers on security issues - something that regular law enforcement rarely does due to time, manpower and funding constraints.

I received most of my own CSI training from BCIT’s Forensics Investigation program, a program that I now guest lecture within. It’s a great program and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to work in the cybercrime realm of CSI.

Q: So, when is the best time to sell a home?

A: Surprise!! The public might think …. “who is looking for houses in the fall or winter?” Well, the most serious Buyers are the ones out in the rain and cold, shopping for a home because they HAVE TO. Many homes in the fall/winter markets get SOLD because there are limited choices, which means less competition for the Sellers.

While Spring may be favored as the optimal time to sell, there will be more competition on the market because more sellers prefer the nice weather to display their gardens. These sellers may be missing opportunities during the colder part of the year when there is less inventory for the buyers to choose from. Every year we hear all the hype and excitement around the ‘Spring Market’. As September comes closer however, the cold hard facts are that the spring season doesn’t always see the greatest level of sales activity although it may record the greatest number of listings. A listing is NOT a sale.Having said this, there really is no wrong time to list your home, because if you price your home right, and make every effort to present it in a superior way, chances are you will sell your property in a timely manner. However, if you choose to list in fall or winter, remember to be realistic. You can sell any property any time in any market if you price it right. At the end of the day, price is the real factor that will move your property.

A cross between Chelsea Handler, Mother Teresa and

Plato, author Rhoda Jan-zen is one of those writers that’s hard to pin down.

One moment she’s a party girl, the next, she’s taking a vow of abstinence before her wedding. In her new autobiog-raphy—Does This Church Make Me Look Fat? : A Mennonite Finds Faith, Meets Mr. Right, and Solves Her Lady Problems—Janzen straddles the worlds of the sacred and the profane. All at once. While drinking a Cosmo. And tithing. What a gal!

Janzen is the author of Men-nonite in a Little Black Dress, in

which she chronicles her lapse from the Mennonite faith. In her new book, she’s all about finding religion in a BIG way. Except this time it’s with the Pentecostals, a much livelier bunch. Along the way on her spiritual path she meets Mitch, a religious, reformed alcoholic drug dealer, with whom she falls brilliantly in love. And as if that weren’t enough to get the neighbours talking, she finds out she has a very aggressive form of breast cancer. But if there’s anybody on this planet who can handle that load, it’s Janzen. She’s unusually flip and optimistic about the diagno-sis, and chronicles her cancer journey with the jocularity of a

stand-up comic.Despite all the laughs, there’s

a deep and abiding faith that keeps her strong. Her belief in the power of prayer shines through it all, as does her belief that “sometimes growth hap-pens best when we accept dis-comfort and difference.” In one particularly moving passage, Janzen writes: “People always ask where God is in the midst of suffering. To me it’s a strange question. When you go blind, when a neighbor kills your son, when you come down with a spanking case of cancer, God is in exactly the same place where he always is. He’s where you put him….If in the midst of our suf-fering, we call on God to sustain

us, then that’s where God will be.” It takes a very strong person to tackle what Janzen has faced and I have nothing but admiration for her bravery and strength.

I just have one tiny criti-cism about her writing. As a literature professor, Janzen is highly articulate, but her need to impress with big words gets to be irritating. Ten bucks to any reader who knows what “per-fervid”, “salvific”, “deliquescence”, “parvenu”, and “ratiocinative” mean. That aside, I still loved her book.

For all its irreverence, it’s ab-solutely filled with gems about faith that people of all religions can relate to. Janzen is truly a

remarkable woman.And if readers want to meet

other impressive people, then come to the library’s Remark-able People Series. No, Janzen won’t be there, but we’ll be featuring local community members who have made a dif-ference. Oct. 30 features award winning children’s authors and passionate advocates of science, Shar Levine and Leslie Johnstone. Time is 7 p.m. at the Brighouse Branch Learning Place.

Strikers serving up winning formby Don FennellSports Editor

In two-plus decades coaching high school sports, Sherri Frier has always emphasized team.

It’s still the prevailing mind-set this season, as she and co-coach Daniel Wong look to guide the Hugh McRoberts Strikers to a berth in the provin-cial AA senior boys’ volleyball championships Nov. 27 to Dec. 1 in Kelowna.

“Our strength is our depth of attack, which involves all our players,” says Frier. “We have lots of guys that can put the ball away. But we are (still) spending a lot of time in practice working on increasing our serve-receive and free ball-passing percent-ages, having a strong defense to lead our attack, and serving with purpose. Our guys have made a commitment to better-ing their teammates by main-taining a positive, focused atti-tude on the court—even when things get tough.”

The Strikers, 4-0 in Richmond league play and sharing top spot with the AAA Steveston-London Sharks (also 4-0), fea-ture five returning players that are now in Grade 12—setter Wilson Lin, right-side Sean Hara, back row specialist and libero William Enns, middle Terry Lok and power hitter Ben Koonar. Another Grade 12, Eric Sotelo, is playing power and middle. The team also has six Grade 11s that have played since Grade 8—setter Theo Guevara, power Kevin Chiu, middle John Tseng, libero Ryan Easton, right-side Cameron Chung and middle Tony Ye, who last season played in the power position.

“At this point in the season our team has met the coaches’ ex-pectations in league play,” says Frier. “The challenge now is to continue to remain focused and play at the same level of intensity. Our consistency in tournament play is something we need to improve on. We are hoping to work on this at the Burnett tournament Oct. 26 and 27.”

The success of the Strikers and Sharks, and indeed the Richmond Christian Eagles who despite being 0-3 in the Rich-mond league are ranked third in the province at the single-A level, reflects a rapidly growing engagement in boys’ volleyball in the community.

“Five years ago boys’ volley-ball in Richmond really started to grow—both at the school and club level,” says Frier. “And at McRoberts, the volleyball cul-ture for guys and girls is equally popular.”

Frier says this season is emerg-ing as a particularly exciting one for senior boys’ volleyball, sug-

gesting there is a good chance of teams in all divisions qualify-ing for provincials.

“This is a reflection of the growth in the district,” she says. “Enrolment in the school and club teams has risen and more alumni are coming back to coach. Many players are also getting involved as referees. I remember five years ago there were hardly any boys com-ing out for Air Attack club vol-leyball. Today, there are high numbers and in some divisions multiple teams need to be formed. Dawna Sales has done a great job running Air Attack and encouraging participation for both boys and girls.”

Steveston-London coach Ed-mond Ma also credits the Air Attack program with helping

to boost the popularity of boys’ volleyball locally.

“The level of play increases exponentially with Air Attack, which is imperative for high school boys’ volleyball,” he says.

But there is always more that can be done, and McRoberts’ player Tony Ye suggests a tour-nament or jamboree among Richmond’s elementary schools might help generate even more interest at the younger level.

Dawna Sales, co-ordinator for the Volleyball Centre of Excel-lence, which operates at the Richmond Olympic Oval, says there’s no doubt boys’ volleyball is enjoying a renaisance in Rich-mond. She credits the efforts of many people, notably Daniel Wong and Matt Ng who are former players-turned-coaches

in the Richmond Air Attack vol-leyball club.

“Without a doubt there are a number of people who have really committed to the boys’ program, with Daniel and Matt being two that have really tak-en ownership to get the kids involved in the club and at the high schools,” says Sales. “They were two our first boys to come through Air Attack a few years ago and are now wanting to give back.”

Others are doing the same, and Sales says that continues to help create a wave of interest in the game locally.

“I also think a big part of the growing interest is a lot of the boys who are playing have older brothers or other fam-ily members who enjoyd the

game,” she says. “There are a lot of other great sports out there, but I think some of the boys have also been looking or someting else to play. This has been a great opportunity for them to pick up volleyball and see how much fun it is. “

With B.C., and the local com-munity in particular having ac-cess to national championships, and seeing world league play on TV has also inspired a lot of boys to want to take up vol-leyball, says Sales.

Success also plays a part, with Air Attack’s under-16 boys’ team netting third place at last year’s nationals. Many of those players are also now playing for senior high school teams throughout the dis-trict, which is helping further

drawing interest to the sport.“Certainly there are a lot

more kids talking about vol-leyball year-round and that hasn’t always been the case,” she says. “And I think we’re seeing a lot of very good coaching at the grassroots levels which is making a dif-ference. For me, it’s always been about building commu-nity. I’ve always felt strongly that volleyball was a great sport for boys. We’ve always had a great number in the girls’ programs, but we had to do more to build the boys’ programs.”

Sales is pleased to see that now the fruits of that labour are beginning to be realized, adding, “It’s been about hav-ing a little patience too.”

McRoberts’ success reflects growing boys’ volleyball culture in Richmond

Nissan won’t say it this bluntly, but when it comes to the 2013

Pathfinder, it’s all about what you get for the money.

And what you get is a full-size, seven-seat CUV that is 500 lb lighter, 25 per cent more fuel-efficient and, get this, an average $6,000 less across the board than the Pathfinder it replaces.

I’ll outline some of the content and the road feel below but that’s all the reason needed to book a test drive when Pathfinders start showing up in Canadian showrooms later this month.

In truth, Nissan had to take a giant step forward as the former model was too thirsty, too heavy and too expensive compared to competitors such as Highlander, Explorer and MDX to name a few.

Except for the name and the very prominent badge on the grille, the 2013 Pathfinder shares nothing with what has gone before.

Even though it is based on the Murano platform, it doesn’t look like Murano or any other CUV/SUV in the Nissan fleet.

To my eyes, it is very North Ameri-can not just in how it sits on the ground but in the very long list of features.

All versions are powered by the

latest version of the 3.5-litre “VQ” DOHC V6 producing 260 hp (240 lb/ft of torque) in front- or all-wheel drive through the second generation Xtronic CVT. Nissan started doing away with automatics 20 years ago and has produced nine million CVTs since then.

With this combination, the new Pathfinder can pull up to 5,000 lb in AWD and, depending on trim level, comes with a seven-pin hitch.

With the FWD model, the fuel rating is 7.7/10.5/9.3L/100 km city/highway/combined. Opt for the AWD and it’s 7.9/10.8/9.5K/100 km which very close to the FWD and helps bolster Nissan’s belief CVTs are better when it comes to fuel, which by the way, is regular in the Pathfinder.

Currently, the 2013 Pathfinder is the sole CUV in its class with selectable FWD, Auto or AWD Lock modes from the available intuitive ALL-MODE 4x4-i system.

In Canada there are four trim levels and pricing will be: S FWD/AWD $29,998/$31,998; SV AWD, $35,248; SL FWD/AWD; $35,698/$37,698; and Platinum AWD, $42,098.

I was fortunate enough to have a Platinum to myself and Nissan said I was free to go where I wanted.

Over the years, I’ve become very familiar with the roads in the Napa/Sonoma region of central California and the many delights to be sampled along the way.

Heading over to the coast, there was the obligatory stop in the vil-

lage of Tomales for coffee enjoyed sitting out front as traffic rolled by. Walked across the street to the Post Office where Julie, the Postmaster, clued me into some great photo op locations.

Then it was up US1 to Bodega where the film The Birds was shot. The house and the church are still there, but across the street is the Bodega Country Store where the new owner sells great oyster chowder and coffee with little tables sprinkled amongst the largest collection of Alfred Hitchcock/Birds memorabilia

in the world. If you look at the lead photo with this story, that’s Alfred himself in front of the store admiring the car.

Rolling highways with lots of twists of turns are the norm and if you have a big truck to wrestle with, it can be a chore after a day of driving.

The new Pathfinder is one of the most car-like seven-seaters I think I’ve driven in a while. It is easy to point and even easier to park.

Mine was equipped with the optional 360-degree Around View Monitor camera which I was glad to

have after having to back up through the maze of vines as there was no place to turn around.

A standout feature is EZ Flex Seating System with Latch And Glide, an industry first second row tip-up seat which allows easy third row access with a child safety seat still installed in the second row.

As far as fitting in seven people, there is 4,463 litres of passenger vol-ume with another 453 litres of cargo space behind the third row 50:50 split/fold rear seat.

Another is the Easy Fill Tire Alert that gives a beep of the horn when correct pressure reached.

If sound is your thing, Nissan and Bose go back a long way and in the Pathfinder you can order the 13-speaker audio system with Acoustic Waveguide Subwoofer, Tri-Zone Entertainment and Advanced Drive-Assist Display.

Once again, with the Sirius/XM dialled in, I was able to enjoyably cov-er some 300 miles. Using the naviga-tion system, the voice prompts were piped in over the music and there was no lag in the map showing your turn after over shooting because the GPS processor wasn’t fast enough.

It was a very satisfying day made that much more enjoyable by the very much changed nature of the vehicle.

The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is no longer a forgotten wallflower but is ready to reassert itself as a full-size CUV force to be reckoned with.

Nissan’s wallflower now belle of the CUV ball

Horrors! Is that Alfred Hitchcock admiring the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder? Shot in Bodega, Ca., the site of the late Hollywood director’s chilling film, the new Pathfinder is anything but for The Birds.

Sure, I’m a dad, and the days of owning a

coupe are behind me (at least for a few more years), but I’ve always preferred the look of two doors versus four.

I said as much in a recent review, and will note once again that that among those com-pact cars offering both sedan and coupe mod-els – namely Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte and Honda Civic – it is the two-door that always turns my head.

Most notably with the Honda Civic.

With four doors, it looks pretty ‘plain Jane,’ with only the Si version adding a hint of sizzle with its body-coloured rear decklid spoiler, wide-bore chrome exhaust finisher and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Coupe, on the other hand, is a real knockout.

It wears Civic’s wedge profile more stylishly than its sibling, and in Si trim, with the same added bits as above, delivers a sporting look that, in my mind, is only outshone by the com-pany’s discontinued S2000 sportscar.

Honda’s Si badge, despite Civic’s lacklustre reviews from Consumer Reports on lower-trim models, still holds cred with performance enthusiasts. As does the HFP (Honda Factory Performance) designa-tion that dials it up a notch.

This package includes 18-inch HFP alloy wheels (instead of 17s), a sport-tuned suspen-sion package (higher spring rates, larger stabilizer bars and

lower ride height than conventional Civics), unique front, side and rear underbody spoil-ers, and HFP badging.

Like the regular Si, you also get sport seats upholstered in a grippy fabric matched to the door panels; high-contrast red stitching in the seats, steering wheel and shifter boot; and a seven-speaker, 360-watt AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 infotainment system with Bluetooth and satellite-linked navigation.

But if you’re shopping for an Si, or the HFP ver-sion that adds another $2,700 to the Si’s $25,990 sticker price, it’s more likely the powertrain and other mechanicals will turn your crank, not so much the upholstery, trim and sheet metal.

Most Civics sold here get Honda’s reliable, but mild-mannered 1.8-litre, 16-valve, SOHC four-cyl-inder engine that delivers a modest 140 hp and 128 lb/ft of torque. It’s ade-quate, but certainly won’t get your heart racing.

The Si, on the other hand benefits from a new 2.4-litre DOHC engine that puts out a more generous 201 hp and 170 lb/ft.

This mill is easier to live with than the high-strung 2.0-litre it replaces. Sure, you could wind it up to around 8,000 rpm (which is great fun in small doses), but it came up short on torque with only 139 lb/ft.

The new 2.4 delivers its peak torque at 4,400 versus 6,100 rpm, and although it redlines ear-lier than its predecessor, it still dishes out what feels like turbo boost some-where north of 5,000 rpm.

At this point, there’s lots happening on the dash.

The i-VTEC indicator lights up as the system

shifts from a low- to high-rpm camshaft profile, and the rev-limit indicator illuminates sequentially as the engine speed rises. When the second last of six lights comes on, the engine is produc-ing maximum power – great for timing your shifts.

All this and a cacoph-

ony of engine and exhaust noise that is a delight to the ears.

Adding to the enjoy-ment is a six-speed, close ratio manual transmission with short, precise throws and a smooth clutch that isn’t as grabby as some performance cars I’ve driven.

Performance-oriented

front-drivers are getting better, and although not quite on par with their rear-drive counterparts, are catching up in terms of handling and overall fun factor.

Honda Civic Si HFP is among the best of these, and if you’re an enthusi-ast, this coupe is certain-ly worth a closer look.

I remember some years ago ask-ing a Ford rep

why we couldn’t have the European Focus, which was light years better than the frumpy model sold here.

His answer: ours was “built for North American tastes.” Huh?

Are we no more than the hillbilly colonial cous-ins, unable to appreciate the nuances of sophisti-cated Euro style, ride and handling?

Heck, they were even driving better Fords in Australia – a former penal colony.

But that was pre reces-sion, and now North Americans also enjoy a vehicle lineup that has made quantum improve-ments in recent years, propelling Ford to top spot in terms of Canadian market share.

This ‘One Ford’ philoso-phy that is unifying the design process and has been bringing award-winning global prod-ucts to our shores, has delivered yet one more vehicle, recently tested in challenging terrain, in and around the greater Los Angeles area.

I’ve always considered the current-generation Fusion to be a solid con-tender in the mid-size segment, and one I didn’t think needed a complete makeover.

But that was until I had a closer look at the 2013.

In this completely rede-signed model, built on an all-new global chassis, company has not only knocked it out of the park in terms of styling, but they’ve created a well-priced, well-crafted sedan that should challenge the best in its class.

The 2013 Fusion follows on the heels of world cars like the 2011 Fiesta and 2012 Focus, and will be sold as the Mondeo out-side of North America.

Here, it will be avail-able with a wide range of four-cylinder engines that include a normally-aspirated 2.5-litre (175 hp, 175 lb/ft of torque), a 1.6-litre turbocharged EcoBoost (178 hp, 184 lb/ft), 2.0-litre EcoBoost (240 hp/270 lb/ft) and a hybrid that pairs a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle inline four with an electric motor and weight-saving lithium batteries.

There’s even the Fusion Energi – a plug-in hybrid

– that will be available early next year.

My focus here is the 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre EcoBoost models that, despite the Fusion’s heft (between 1,512 and 1,670 kg), are lively performers.

Indeed, Ford’s 2.0-litre EcoBoost is right in line with much of its V6 com-petition, and although it gives up a few horses when compared with Hyundai’s 2.0-litre turbo, it is nearly identical in torque and fuel economy, rated at 9.2/5.9 litres/100 km with FWD.

During one leg of the drive route, I scored the top-trim Titanium AWD, which comes only with the 2.0-litre EcoBoost. As expected, there was some turbo lag, but this engine spooled up quick-ly and delivered strong acceleration, and decent punch when you want to pull out and pass.

I also noticed plenty of road feel – perhaps more than I’d expect in anything other than a European sports sedan. But this is how the Fusion felt on the twisty canyon roads outside Santa Monica that included the famed Mulholland Drive.

Riding on 19-inch wheels, and a taut inde-pendent setup (Mac struts with stabilizer up front and multilink with stabilizer in rear), the Fusion Titanium loved to corner, and with AWD, wasn’t plagued by torque steer.

It’s unfortunate you can’t order the 2.0-litre Fusion here with the six-speed manual, as the six-speed auto was smooth, but didn’t take full advantage of all that power on tap.

My transmission of choice is only avail-able with the 1.6-litre EcoBoost. Despite its smaller displacement and lesser numbers, this engine is still peppy. With the advantage of a clutch, you can spool it up quick-ly, and although it’s no rocket off the line, you’ll have no trouble passing at speed.

Even when the 1.6 is working hard, it’s not buzzy, and the noise levels are surprisingly low at full throttle. Much of this can be credited to an abundance of sound deadening materials.

But that’s not to say you feel isolated from the road. The SE FWD I drove with this engine was nicely damped, with well-controlled body motions – but still more compliant than

the Titanium. The drive route included plenty of challenging roads where this lower-trim Fusion handled the curves with excellent composure and no noticeable lean.

The Fusion’s heft and its use of high-strength steel make for a rigid body that feels and sounds as substantial as some high-priced Euro sedans. It’s doors close with a solid ‘thunk’ and its hushed interior isn’t bothered by squeaks or rattles.

Inside, there’s an abun-dance of soft-touch mate-rials, with nicely-finished edges and upholstery

that wouldn’t look out of place in a premium auto-mobile. Panel gaps are extremely tight.

I won’t add much on the styling, but to say that Fusion’s new, sleeker profile, sweeping charac-ter lines, thin roof pillars, slit projector headlamps and wide grille with hori-zontal chrome strakes, suggest poise and athleti-cism.

It’s a look that is more premium than its prede-cessor and, in my mind, one of the most hand-some in its segment.

In the 2013 Fusion, Ford has raised the bar yet again.

2013 redesign makes a good Fusion even better

With its wide stance and sleek pro� le, the 2013 Ford Fusion has an athletic stance. It’s sweeping character lines, slit projector headlamps and wide grille with horizontal chrome strakes, creates a look that wouldn’t be out of place in the premium segment.

Spirits soar at elementary meetAnnual cross-country event attracts upwards of 1,000 students from Kindergarten to Grade 7

by Don FennellSports Editor

For the better part of the last two decades, Don Taylor has been the starter at the annual Richmond Elemen-tary Schools Cross-Country Fun Run.

It’s a role the former teacher and administrator retains—even in retirement.

“I love the opportunity to give back,” says Taylor, who retired last summer as prin-

cipal at Howard DeBeck.Students from his former

school, as well as most other elementaries in the district, were out in force Wednesday for the 2012 event held at Minoru Park. Races were held for girls and boys from Kindergarten to Grade 7.

“The beauty of the cross-country event is that it’s open to all students,” says Taylor.

“And for most of the kids

it’s not competitive, but rather about participat-ing. School spirit it at the centre of it and the kids are excited. Their teachers and parents capture that same excitement.”

Longtime Richmond Kajaks track and field coach Mosley Jack is a big sup-porter of the annual event. He remembers the great enthusiasm the event gen-erated when he taught at Lord Byng.

Close calls mark � rst round of League Cup

Richmond’s Shea Emry is a double award winner this week in the Canadi-

an Football League.The Montreal Alou-

ettes’ linebacker earned

both defensive and Canadian player of the week honours after his stellar play in the Alou-ettes’ 24-12 victory over the Toronto Argonauts Sunday.

Emry, 26, had four tack-

les, one sack and one interception which he returned 46 yards for a touchdown.

Emry leads Montreal in tackles (77) and sacks (7), fourth-best in both categories in the CFL.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

There were no upsets to speak of following the � rst round of the Richmond Senior Soccer Association’s annual League Cup. However, there were several close calls.

Potentially the biggest nail-biter of all the matches was

played at South Arm Park Sun-day afternoon where AC Rich-mond of the Premier Division held o� the Rangers of the Sec-ond Division 2-0. The Rangers might have fared even better if not for the three crossbars and two goal posts.

Another Premier Division side, Richmond Athletics, also had a scare but managed to

slip past Heatherbrae of the First Division by a 2-1 count.

Two other games in the sin-gle-elimination tournament were decided on penalty kicks. Club Ireland Celtic (First Divi-sion) edged Monday Knights (Second Division) after the teams tied 1-1 through regu-lation, while the Fire� ghters (First Division) converted all

� ve shootout opportunities to get by Subway. The teams were tied 3-3 through regula-tion.

In one other notable match, McNair Shooters (First Division) held o� the Jugadores Masters 3-2. McNair took a 1-0 lead on a � rst-half penalty kick but didn’t really step it up until the second half scoring on a pair

of skillful individual e� orts. But the Jugadores didn’t quit, with Ahmed Shalabiah scoring from the top of the 18 yard box and adding a second goal on a div-ing header.

The Premier Division version of the Jugadores outscored the Islanders FC 7-2. However, the Islanders had only nine players for the game.

Other teams to advance to the second round, which will begin Nov. 13, includes the Old Blacks (4-2 winners over Richlads), Clippers (1-0 over Flying Beaver), Graduates (3-0 over Sockeyes), Jugadores II (4-0 winners of McKesson), Istanbul Spor (2-0 over Liber-tad), and All Blacks (1-0 over the Rovers).

Surrey will soon be home to the smallest condominiums in Canada with the opening of Balance, a new development in Surrey City Centre built by Tien Sher.

The four-storey building will hold 56 suites, ranging from 290 to 653 square feet and starting at $109,900.

“Real estate prices in the Lower Mainland are among the richest in North America,” says Tien Sher president Charan Sethi. “We wanted to build suites that renters could afford to purchase – today.”

Even with their small size, the condos (called micro suites) at Balance will include beautiful features such as

stainless-steel appliances, hardwood floors and a private balcony.

“Balance is unique,” says Sethi. “No suite comes with a parking stall but they are available for purchase. A 2012 parking study we commissioned showed most purchasers will forego car ownership and its associated costs, in favour of an affordable home purchase. Balance homeowners’ transportation options include bus, SkyTrain and a car-share vehicle onsite. Who needs a car with such as short walk to municipal amenities, shopping and services?”

Sales are expected to begin in January. For more information, visit www.tiensher.com.

The original Abbey Road Studios started life as a townhome before becoming the iconic recording mecca it is today. Fans of The Beatles will quickly recognize the name of Woodbridge’s South Surrey townhome development, but Abbey Road is appealing to a much larger audience.

Abbey Road is built in a Georgian style like its namesake, with classic brick detailing, iron gates and window boxes and shutters.

“The architecture is unique,” says sales manager Tara Desmond.

Inside, the two-, three- and four-bedroom floorplans are spacious and open, with nine-foot ceilings and wide-plank wood laminate flooring on the main level. Huge windows let the light pour in and bring the outdoors to you, though you may prefer to spend most of your time on your own patio or deck that is tailor-made for coming together and entertaining. Oversized wood baseboards throughout add a touch of understated beauty to the proceedings.

The kitchens are elegant, with quartz countertops, classic shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. The ceramic and glass tile backsplash is complemented by the under-cabinet lighting, with pot lights illuminating the rest of the space. If you’re looking for a bit more prep space or room to eat a quick meal, Woodbridge is offering the option of including a kitchen island with a breakfast bar in some floorplans.

Relaxation comes standard at Abbey Road with its spacious bathrooms. Stone countertops are offset by custom shaker-style vanities and his-and-hers square undermount sinks in the ensuite, and a deep soaker tub is tailor-made for luxury. The secondary bathrooms feature custom vanities of their own, along with oversized glazed ceramic tile flooring and chic vanity mirrors with solid wood frames, to always put you in the best light.

Abbey Road is just moments from shopping and restaurants at Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, leisure and recreation at the golf courses, beaches and parks in the area, and education at nearby schools.

“You’re close to everything but you’re not sitting inside the amenities,” says Desmond. “You’re always close to the action.”

At Abbey Road itself, there is a community room perfect for parties and a traditional English garden with

a children’s play area, along with the gorgeous mature landscaping that surrounds the development.

“The amenity space is a place to meet people, have a glass of wine,” Desmond says.

Woodbridge is offering a purchase incentive for the month of October. Buyers are given a $10,000 credit that can be used towards the purchase of upgrades like ceiling speakers or crown mouldings or professional series kitchen appliances.

Prices start from the mid-$300,000s. For more information, visit abbeyroadliving.com or call 604-542-0660.

Submitted photosThe homes at Woodbridge’s Abbey Road showcase wide-plank wood laminate flooring throughout the main ilving areas, above, and tons of natural light from the huge windows, top. Located in a great neighbourhood in Morgan Heights, Abbey Road will appeal to homeowners of all ages.

James Whiteside Elementary teacher Natasha Lozovsky-Burns gets 11 inches of her hair cut by students (from left) Clarissa Johnson, Riley Yodogawa and Yuri Yuen, after the school raised more than $11,000 during a Walkathon for its playground. Last week, the school won $15,000 for the creation of an inclusive playground for a winning essay in the “School Grounds. Playgrounds. Common Ground” contest. Some of the school’s students have mobility issues and learning challenges.

Bill Merrell, from Richmond Boys Fastball, accepts a $7,980 cheque from Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap, monies from the Community Gamings Grant.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie and Raymond Cheung share a cake at the closing week-end of this year’s Richmond Night Market on Thanksgiv-ing.
