Audio connection established with International Space Station

by Jacqueline Langen Contributor

School assemblies have reached new limits as H.J. Cambie Secondary School students got the chance to connect with the Interna-tional Space Station yes-terday morning.

The Richmond Amateur Radio Club established an audio connection with In-ternational Space Station for a period of seven min-utes. Richmond students got the chance to speak with Japanase astronaut, Koichi Wakata.

“We had a contest on our website and students were able to submit their questions…We ended up having about 150 ques-tions and we only needed 20,” said Cambie science teacher Karen Ibbott.

Although a connection was made, the clarity of Wakata’s responses was barely audible.

When asked what may have caused the interfer-ence, Richmond Amateur Radio Club director Urey Chan said that the Inter-national Space Station orbit level was lower than planned.

To establish the best connection, an orbit of approximately 70 degrees would be optimal, but this morning’s connection was

made with the Internation-al Space Station orbiting at 48 degrees.

Chan said that the station orbiting at a lower level may cause the connection to be disrupted by other satellites.

Grade 12 student Rich-ard Marohn was looking forward to the event and dressed for the occasion in a blue NASA space uni-form.

Morohn had earlier pitched a video he and an-other student made to the

Richmond board of edu-cation proposing Cambie host the special event.

“The video talked about how this is going to be a once in a lifetime experi-ence for the students here and gave a brief run down of what we’d actually be doing,” he said.

Ibbott had the initial idea to contact the Inter-national Space Station and Richmond school trustees endorsed it.

“It’s giving students the chance to really connect

with learning in a different way,” said board of educa-tion chair Donna Sargent.

Cambie teachers are also incorporating space education into a number of different courses, hop-ing to get students more interested in science and technology.

Home economics classes are adopting recipes used by astronauts. Math and science classes are build-ing robot models while learning about surface area. And Ibbott is cur-

rently germinating toma-toes seeds— brought back to earth from space by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield—in her science classes.

“In a world of 21st cen-tury learning, opportuni-ties such as the Richmond Amateur Radio or the In-ternational Space Station program allow us to trans-form the learning process and engage students be-yond the walls of the class-room,” Cambie vice-princi-pal Erica Schmidt said.

Drunk driver drives himself straight to the cop shop

by Katya Slepiancontributor

A drunk driver drove him-self straight into the Rich-mond RCMP’s parking lot Thursday morning —fol-lowing a crime spree that included vehicle theft and multiple hit and runs and stretched across the Lower Mainland.

The 28-year-old Vancouver resident was driving a 1994 Honda Civic that had been reported stolen in Vancou-ver earlier that morning. Police were on the driver’s tail as he emerged into Rich-mond out of the Massey Tunnel but were surprised when shortly after the driver attempted to flee, he turned on to No. 5 Road and pulled into the first available park-ing lot, which conveniently belonged to the Richmond RCMP.

The police promptly ar-rested the man, who is known to police, without incident and he is awaiting charges relating to vehicle theft, driving under the in-fluence and multiple hit and runs.

Despite the early morning entertainment the driver may have provided, Cons. Veronica Fox of the Rich-mond RCMP warns that while “drive-in policing” may be humourous, “im-paired driving presents a considerable risk to public safety and is treated very seriously by the police.”

Name picked for downtown community centreCouncil picks new name, but construction has yet to begin

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

It’s offi cial. City council has chosen a name for the much-anticipated community centre now under construction in City Centre: City Centre Community Centre.

It’s hardly novel, but the name is in keeping with Richmond’s tradition of naming community centres by the neighbourhoods they serve.

“Other names were considered, however, keeping a consistent naming practice with the other com-munity centres, and creating a link to the association who will partner with the city on the facility’s opera-tion were considered to be a priority,” said Elizabeth Ayers, manager of community recreation services, in a report to council.

Councillors approved the name Monday, well ahead of the community centre’s completion. Origi-nally slated to open this fall, that’s now when the building’s shell is expected to be ready for outfi tting.

Scheduled to open in the summer of 2015, the 33,000-square-foot facility will boast a large fi tness studio, multipurpose rooms, arts space, a “commu-nity living room” and large lobby spaces for informal gathering.

It’s being built at 5900 Minoru Blvd. as part of Quin-tet, a fi ve-tower residential development now under construction. Canada Sunrise Development Corp., a Canadian subsidiary of the Malaysian fi rm UEM Sun-rise Berhad, is behind the project, which also includes space for a new campus of Trinity Western University.

Government-funded charity exclusively targets Chinese-language speakers in new campaign


A public advertisement from a govern-ment-funded charity entirely in the Chi-nese language is further “fragmenting” a city with Canada’s highest proportion of foreign-born residents, says a longtime resident.

SUCCESS, a social service agency that offers immigrant settlement services, recently launched a new bus shelter ad-vertisement offering support for people with a gambling addiction. But the ad features only Chinese characters, apart from a name and phone number, which leads to a Chinese voice message.

Kerry Starchuk, who unsuccessfully lobbied the City of Richmond last year to regulate language on signs to include English, called the ad disappointing and more commonplace.

“SUCCESS is to be helping the immi-grants integrate into the community. When I found out this was in Chinese, I don’t think this is helping them integrate at all,” she said. “You’re not helping the immigrants, you’re enabling them.”

Private corporations are also targeting Chinese-language speakers in exclusive advertising. Starchuk, a Blundell area resi-dent, recently received a letter from Shaw

advertising its services using only Chi-nese. Ads in other public places around Richmond show fi rms such as Rogers, Fido and Telus using the same tactic.

“We are seeing the shortcomings of multiculturalism,” said Starchuk.

SUCCESS has no intention of alienating anyone with the ad, said CEO Queenie Choo in an interview Thursday. She said it’s meant to specifically target Chinese-language speakers, who the program is aimed at helping in the event of problem gambling.

“The intent is to really get to those peo-ple who may not be able to appreciate the English advertising. We wanted to really reach out to those people so that they would be able to get help.”

Choo believes Chinese storefronts should also include English on their signs, but insisted the SUCCESS ad is diff erent, as it aims to help a hard-to-reach popula-tion loath to admit a gambling problem.

“It’s very difficult to reach out,” said Choo. “It’s a very sensitive issue to peo-ple.”

SUCCESS had revenues of $21.6 million in 2013, according to tax records filed with the Canada Revenue Agency. Nearly three-quarters of its funding came from government. Beyond settlement ser-vices, the charity also offers services in language training, employment, coun-selling, economic development, health care and housing.

Henry Beh, executive director of the Richmond Chinese Community Society, said all his society’s correspondence is bilingual—English and Chinese. The so-ciety assists Chinese Canadians “in the

process of integration and assimilation” with mainstream society.

Beh noted there’s no law requiring agencies to post bilingual signs or adver-tising, but he believes both languages should be used.

“We’re trying to show that we respect each other,” he said.

One year ago, a delegation armed with a 1,000-name petition urged Richmond council to put a stop to the proliferation of signs with only a foreign language. Council took no action, but later did throw a bone to the group with its Rich-mond Social Development Strategy.

Intended to guide the city on social de-velopment matters over the next decade, the strategy listed an ongoing measure to prevent and respond to racism: “[T]hat any wording on business signage and/or city documentation prominently includes the English language.”the strat-egy listed an ongoing measure to pre-vent and respond to racism: “[T]hat any wording on business signage and/or city documentation prominently includes the English language.”

Brazen robbery on Sunday night at No. 3 Road strip mall

by Katya SlepianContributor

Richmond RCMP are investigating a brazen break-in that occurred around 6:30 p.m. on Sun-day at a Chinese herbal store in a strip mall at 4640 No. 3 Rd., just south of Cambie.

Police were called to the scene by a witness who reported a robbery taking place at the store.

The bandits broke through the glass at the front of the store to get at the herbs, some of which can be worth more than their weight in gold. The break-in occurred during store hours and two of the three employees present suff ered minor injuries.

A year ago, local Mount-ies were dealing with doz-ens of break-ins that had plagued Chinese herbal medicine stores since the summer of 2012.

Four arrests were made in January 2013 in con-

nection with earlier herbal store robberies. The inici-dents brought the Rich-mond Chinese business community, the Richmond RCMP and the City of Rich-mond together, and local businesses were urged to implement stricter securi-ty measures to discourage further break-ins.

The perpetrators of this latest break-in are believed to have escaped prior to police arriving on the scene but the RCMP hopes that the central location of the mall means that there will be witnesses.

“The mall was fairly busy around the time of the robbery and we know people saw the suspects (so) we are hoping those witnesses will come for-ward to assist in this inves-tigation,” said Richmond RCMP. Cpl. Stephanie Ashton.

“We will have Mandarin speaking offi cers avail-able to speak with any-one who has information about this robbery.”

If you have any informa-tion about this robbery, please contact the Rich-mond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or to remain anony-mous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Herbal store targeted by break-in bandits

PM visited Canfisco staff following a landmark trade deal in Asia


Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper toured a Richmond fi sh plant Wednesday afternoon, a day after announcing Canada’s fi rst trade deal with an Asian market.

RCMP locked down access to the Canada Fishing Company plant on Rice Mill Road ahead of the arrival of Harper, who met with executives and workers of the long-time plant better known as Canfi sco.

It was a rare local ap-pearance for Canada’s top politician, whose Conservative party has comfortably owned both Richmond ridings for the last two terms. But Harp-er is keen to trumpet his government’s success in opening up markets

in Asia for Canadian ex-porters like Canfi sco.

Harper, accompanied by Industry Minister James Moore and In-ternational Trade Min-ister Ed Fast, didn’t speak to the media in Richmond, but said in a statement that busi-nesses and consumers

in B.C. stand to ben-efit significantly from the new Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement.

“It gives Canadian businesses access to a booming G-20 econo-my, and opens access in the fast-growing Asia-Pacifi c market. Through this agreement, Cana-

dian consumers will also benefi t from a greater variety of goods at lower prices.”

Canfi sco supplies Ca-nadian grocery markets with its Gold Seal line of canned salmon, tuna and seafood products. It also exports its product around the world, in-cluding Asia.

Earlier in the day Harper spoke at a B.C. Chamber of Commerce event in Vancouver and later met with mem-bers of the Canadian-Korean community in Burnaby.

The Canada-Korea deal will create thou-sands of new jobs in Canada and provide Ca-nadian businesses with a gateway to Asia, the government says. The forestry, agricultural, professional services and investment sectors all stand to benefi t.

South Korea is already B.C.’s fourth-largest trad-ing partner, with half of all Canadian exports to the nation coming from B.C.

Exports from the prov-ince to South Korea were worth an annual average of $2.17 billion, accord-ing to 2010 to 2012 fi g-ures.

The trade agreement is projected to increase Canadian exports by 32 per cent and grow the economy by $1.7 billion, according to a govern-ment release.

Canada has signed seven free trade agree-ments with nine coun-tries in the last seven years, including the Canada-European Union Trade Agreement. Nego-tiations continue with 30 more nations.

Spring Break


City council didn’t waste time sitting on the fence this week before approving a new public art installation in East Rich-mond.

The artwork will be installed at the future city-owned child care centre in Hamilton—and become part of the fence. The $10,000 art project will replace selected wood pick-ets with coloured metal varieties, each with its own colourful animal character.

Named the Cranberry Children’s Centre and scheduled for completion this sum-mer, the facility is a result of a rezoning agreement for a neighbouring bus op-erations and maintenance facility. As part of the agreement, the city netted a one-hectare site at 23591 Westminster Hwy. and $1.77 million in cash to build the child care centre.

The Society of Richmond Children’s Centres will operate the 33-space, 3,400-square-foot facility.

Public art will be designed by Ron Hart and Michael Fugeta, whose proposal—one of 14 received by the city—won unani-mous favour from a fi ve-member panel and supported by council’s Public Art Ad-visory Committee.

“The committee noted the selected art-

work is very age-appropriate, playful, co-lourful and lively artwork and they were impressed with the thoughtfulness of the artists,” according to a staff report.

Cranberry Children’s Centre, so named in

January by city council, got its title from the history books. The land was once cov-ered in wild cranberries, and the area’s namesake, Alexander Hamilton, was a berry farmer, according to the city.

Ron Hart and Michael Fugeta designed a unique fence section for a new child care centre.

A road trip from the Lower Mainland to the desert cities in California’s Coachella Valley—‘Palm Springs’—at a minimum

takes two long days of driving on Interstate Highway 5, ‘the I-5’. March is a popular month for western Canadians to take this driving trip. Th e worst of the winter snow conditions in the mountain passes of southern Oregon is usually past and the daylight lasts longer. It is tiring for sure, but also interesting and indeed heartening from a road safety perspective.

Despite the risk statistics, despite the law of averages, the following can add up to a remarkably positive experience:• No crashes, no near misses, no aftermath, no

emergency vehicles mopping up anything. Not a single ‘accident’.

• Orderly and safely fl owing traffi c through the major cities—Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and Los Angeles and through the smaller cities and hamlets and the empty open countryside. Weekends are more likely to off er this experience than weekdays.

• A well designed, well maintained multi-lane divided highway with clear signage including dynamic signs at sharp corners displaying the driver’s actual speed beside the posted speed limit.

• Dynamic signs at regular intervals along the highway posting road condition warnings and general safety reminders.

• A passenger who shares the piloting and navigating tasks. Alternating shifts of two or three hours with regular rest stop breaks keep

the driver alert and focused. Two sets of eyes watching for exits, gas stations and rest stops ensure that the driver is well prepared to enter and exit the highway smoothly while giving timely signals to surrounding vehicles.

• An in-car navigation system plus paper maps and guidebooks. Generally keeping abreast of your location on the route minimizes the stress and strain that inevitably follow from losing your way or having to back track.

• Good, reasonably priced ‘motels’ located beside the highway and alongside gas stations and good, reasonably priced restaurants. A long day drive is tiring. Drivers and passengers need regular stretch breaks, light food, regular thirst quenching beverages and a good night’s sleep.

• Surrounding vehicles that are generally road worthy, in good if not excellent repair, and rarely older than 10 years. Medium-sized sedans, SUVs, and light pick-up trucks are more common than small urban cars. Sports cars are rare.

• Truck drivers who follow the rules of the road requiring them to keep right and drive at considerably lower posted speed limits.

• Drivers, who follow the rules of the road requiring them to keep right, drive within the speed limit and at speeds suitable for the road conditions. In many stretches, the traffi c fl ow forms into trains of vehicles with most drivers carefully controlling their following distance. Many drivers seem aware of (at least) the three-second rule.

• Drivers who use cruise control where appropriate to do so.

• Drivers who do not talk on hand-held cell phones and do not text. (‘Don’t text and drive’ is posted on billboards all along the route.)

• A visible police presence that actually nabs the scoffl aw, the classic menace—the jack rabbiting, constantly lane-changing speedster.

Robert Yoneda promising to pay back remaining money

by Jacqueline Langen and Martin van den HemelReporters

A “serious gambling disorder” has earned former South Arm Com-munity Association worker Robert Yoneda an 18-month conditional sentence.

The 39 year old appeared in Rich-mond provincial court on Wednes-day, where Judge Ray Low sen-tenced him after plead ingguilty to embezzling $153,713.96 from the association.

Yoneda’s lawyer, Vincent Michaels, said his client immediately took re-sponsibility for his actions shortly after the funds were discovered missing and he was confronted.

He’s currently working three jobs to make amends, and with his fam-ily’s help, has repaid about two-thirds of what he stole.

“He admitted his responsibility to his association, the day after he was confronted,” Michaels told The Richmond Review.

“At the end of the day he took

advantage of lax quality controls,” Michaels said in court. The City of Richmond was in fact part of the approval process for the very checks that he embezzled, he added.

Over a fi ve-year period, Yoneda forged signatures on cheques, cre-ated falsifi ed documents and used a company credit card to pay off “bookies” he had become in debt to from his sporting bets.

A psychiatric diagnosis was pre-sented by counsel, declaring Yone-da had a gambling disorder.

Yoneda’s initial gambling problem began in the mid ‘90s with sports betting, particularly NFL football games, court was told.

Crown counsel Todd Follett pre-sented a $100,000 cheque to a representative of the South Arm Community Centre Association on behalf of Yoneda and his family. The Yoneda family plans to repay the re-maining $53, 713.96 sooner rather than later, the court was told.

Micheals agreed that the situation was a breach of trust and that the off ence was committed from sub-stantial gambling addiction.

“The matter of theft was not a so-phisticated one. My client struggled with gambling for 10 years before he stole from his employer,” said Michaels.

Yoneda’s 18-month conditional sentence includes 6 months of house arrest—where he can’t leave his home except for work and emer-gencies—followed by a six-month curfew of 10 p.m., and concludes with 100 hours of community ser-vice to be completed in the fi nal half year. He also received a three-year term of probation.

Yoneda had no previous criminal record and before delivering his sentence, Judge Low noted that Yoneda demonstrated genuine re-pent toward the South Arm Com-munity Association and the greater community. “I’m very remorseful and very sorry to the City of Rich-mond, South Arm Community asso-ciation, my friends and family that this occurred,” said Yoneda.

Yoneda had nearly a dozen friends and family members present to sup-port him. During a court intermis-sion, Crown council expressed that the group’s support may infl uence the judge’s decision that there is a strong and healthy road to recovery for Yoneda’s gambling disorder.

According to the psychiatric report, Yoneda remains at risk to commit gambling off ence again, but if he is counseled and moni-tored his disorder can remain un-der control.

The fundraiser for Chimo Community Services’ Nova House—a shelter for women and their children escaping domestic violence—recognizes women for the contributions they’ve made to the community in fi ve categories: sports, arts, youth, community and

business.This year’s pioneer winner is Mary Gazetas, the for-

mer Richmond Review columnist who passed away in 2012. She was recognized for her boundless passion for heritage, for founding the Fruit Tree Sharing Proj-ect (which evolved into the Richmond Sharing Farm) and for championing local causes.

The Ethels are named after the pioneering editor of The Richmond Review, a fi rebrand in the community who used the newspaper as a soapbox to speak out against the internment of the Japanese during the Second World War.

opinion

The provincial push for a producer-pay recy-cling system is based

on the concept of charg-ing manufacturers whose products contribute to the waste stream, such as plas-tic packaging.

But the soon to become govern-ment-mandated program is going to penalize some unfairly, includ-ing citizens.

For instance, it will hit the news-paper industry with a 20 cent per kilogram cost for its “packaging” – the very paper the newspapers are printed on.

That vested interest aside, it’s debatable whether the new sys-tem will achieve its environmental goals, while simultaneously driv-ing up costs for consumers.

Although the MMBC collection system may have benefi ts for communities that currently do not have adequate curbside recycling programs, it is not needed in Rich-mond, where the city has been achieving high rates of waste di-version through its own recycling and compost collection.

For those cities that hold out on joining MMBC for the time being, that comes at a cost, since MMBC will provide no subsidy for com-

munities whose programs don’t conform to their standards. Con-sumers would eff ectively pay the cost of recycling twice, as produc-ers build the price of the MMBC program into their products, and taxpayers foot the bill for curbside

pickup.Though MMBC recently provided

exemptions for small businesses, it will also negatively impact local economic engines such as berry farming, where consumer preference drives the use of plastic

clamshell containers for retail sales – dumping the cost onto farmers, and ultimately, customers.

This is a program that needs to be put on hold and reconsidered in its entirety.

Unless one wants them to be scythed

at the knees, now is the time to sup-port the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and the commis-sion that stewards it. The debris from two cabinet ministers’ klutzy comments has already hampered the commission.

As the Richmond com-

munity, most of us would like to help, and it’s for our benefit too. To act, Garden City Conservation delivered this open letter to Richard Bullock, chair of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).

_______________Dear Richard Bullock: In service to the com-

munity, the Garden City Conservation Society must blow the whistle on a strat-agem to slip contra-ALR uses onto Richmond’s ALR central park, the Garden City Lands. This matter will impact the ALR future of the lands and the province.

Our perspective: We aim to help steward the natu-ral legacies of the Garden City Lands with ALR uses for community wellness. Along with food security, the ALR uses would include ecological and open-land park ones. We are open to a spectrum of lawful uses.

ALC history: In 2006 and 2009, the commission refused to exclude the lands from the ALR, reject-ing the owners and the City of Richmond. In 2010, thanks to those decisions, the city was able to obtain

the property. The price reflected the ALR zoning, with a premium to escape a bad deal.

Citizens’ input to the ALC has embraced the ALR value of the lands, even when the city and its partners skewed the issue. Sadly, the skewing con-tinues in a city project to enhance the ALR park: the city’s concept for the park is camouflaging contra-ALR features.

The stratagem: The worst contra-ALR use in the city’s concept is “Community Field.” It slipped out that “Community” is double-speak for “Organized Soccer,” with five fields.

For good reason, the pro-ponents have previously mocked the idea of grass fields on the lands, so grass would give way to synthet-ic turf, along with parking lots. Also, they have long coveted the lands for sports complexes such as arenas and aquatic centres.

The city is now neglecting the restorable sphagnum bog, a millennia-old eco-logical legacy with agri-cultural significance. With the city’s concept, it would

deteriorate faster, paving the way for sports buildings if anyone would pay for them.

Faux consultation: The city has hosted two big events to market the Garden City Lands as a blank canvas waiting for a legacy to appear. The events fostered enthusiasm and learning despite the false premise and contra-ALR aspect. However, the climactic survey is not-at-all valid; in fact, its design wards off the chance of other views affecting the findings.

Better options: If more playing fields are now

needed, the city could restore some of the fifty grass fields that were “released” when the city brought in artificial turf fields. In neighbourhoods that “opt in,” the old fields could be upgraded for teams and informal play.

Another location for fields was the large park just north of the Garden City Lands that the city has can-celled even though the ALC had, in effect, pointed it out for amenities in a 2006 staff report.

Community benefit: The true legacies of the Garden City Lands are hurting, but our ALR central park can be salvaged with a focus on celebrating the ALR, not outwitting the ALC. The park would celebrate the ALR legacy of the lands, the Garden City and the province.

Request: Help our central park be wonderful—not bad—for the ALR. Everyone wins.

Coast Capital directors paid more than Vancity’s

Editor:Re: “Coast Capital sets record straight on director

compensation,” Richmond Review.First, I am all for keeping the record straight. Be-

fore 2007, members of Coast Capital Savings voted annually on director compensation. Since then, directors set their own compensation. Within three years the chairman’s stipend went from $33,000 to $178,173. In 2011, director compensation at Coast Capital was over twice that of Vancity Savings.

Mr. Wellburn, the board chair, does not deny the numbers but steadfastly maintains the board has done only what the membership wants.

Just one problem: 80 per cent of the members do not agree with Wellburn’s self-serving tale. In last year’s election members voted to return to the pre-2007 method, allowing the members to set director pay. Is that what the board is now proposing? No! The upcoming vote, which is from March 14-April 8, will ask members to approve a philosophy of director compensation within which directors can blithely continue to set their own pay. This is contrary to what the members asked for last year.

Second, Mr. Wellburn does not deny that Coast Capital places a gag order on all candidates so that only board-recommended candidates have a chance of getting elected. Instead he defends such practises with, “We believe this is a democratic pro-cess.” Drawing rules so that only board-approved candidates succeed makes the election a hollow farce.

Third, in his letter Mr. Wellburn boasts about Coast Capital’s good performance, intimating that high director pay equals high performance. Business In Vancouver compared B.C.’s six largest credit unions. An analysis of their numbers indicates that Coast Capital ranks last in every measurement, except size. (biv.com/article/20130122/BIV050129987/-1/BIV/biggest-credit-unions-in-bc-ranked-by-2011-as-sets) In addition, last year Coast Capital donated $5 million to community charities, while Vancity Savings donated $18 million to charities. Had Coast Capital contributed $13 million it would have ap-proached Vancity’s success. As is, Coast Capital does not even come close.

Coast Capital directors are paid signifi cantly more that Vancity directors, yet their performance is substantially lower. Mr. Wellburn, you can fool some of the people all of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Nick LoenenRichmond

lettersDogs should be returned to their ownersEditor:

Paris and Axel seem to have pushed the bureaucrats at Richmond City Hall beyond all reason.

Richmond Animal Protection Society has a very clear “no kill” policy, and the city adopted that policy when RAPS took over the shelter. The city employees of who are responsible for the city shelter should be listening to the advice of all the experts who have provided information to confi rm that these animals are not a danger to the community. They should be returned to their owners before their health deteriorates further.

Carol Reichert will be very sadly missed at the city shelter and those of us who support the no kill policy of RAPS will continue to hold the city accountable for their actions.

Editor:The signifi cant issue of tradition-

ally traded tea is beginning to grow worse every day. With thousands of struggling farmers and tea produc-ers in developing countries such as India and Uganda, the situation cannot be taken lightly for much longer.

Although our contribution to this problem in Richmond is minor, people have the option to buy Fair Trade imported products as opposed to regular, traditionally traded goods.

Fair Trade is an international trade organization dedicated towards improving the lives of minimally paid producers and farmers of third world countries and fi nding solu-tions to the worldwide concerns of traditional trade. Companies and businesses must meet certain requirements from making sure they get their raw materials from non-child labour plantations or farms to confi rming that every worker is paid fairly. Once verifi ed, the Fair Trade product of that com-pany is then certifi ed with the Fair Trade logo on say its wrapper for a chocolate bar. They focus on several popular trading goods with the most issues, one of which is tea.

Tea is a worldwide favourite beverage of many, meaning it is in demand. Many small family-owned farm as well as large plantations help in producing the tea we buy in stores today. But numerous issues exist currently in the tea industry; from its harvest to production to

being imported and sold, many workers and farmers are minimally paid or even not paid at all if they are children being forced to work as slaves. With little income, farmers are in debt and cannot aff ord to feed their families. After shipping the tea off to the factories, many workers in those factories are work-ing in unstable and possibly risky conditions that can be harmful to their health. Throughout the entire process, almost everyone that con-tributes to making and selling tea is paid an unfair minimal wage. Also, female plantation workers work in the fi eld while the men supervise, giving the women longer and harder work with the same pay as the men.

The goals of Fair Trade are to pay all workers equally and fairly, es-tablishing safe working conditions throughout the entire process. No children are enslaved to work and all workers work by their own will with all fairness. So when you see the Fair Trade logo on a product, you can trust that all workers were paid properly and the working environment is safe. Despite the good intentions of Fair Trade, it rep-resents less than one per cent of the

world’s trades today. Lives are being changed slowly, and as consumers demand more accountability, the practices of traditional trade are beginning to change. Fair Trade addresses all ethical problems with trading tea and verifi ed products can be found anywhere, including your local supermarket.

There are companies based almost entirely on Fair Trade in-vested products and more popular ones such as David’s Tea that off er exclusive collections of Fair Trade tea. Another lesser known one called Numi Tea supports Fair Trade tea production positively and carries more than half fairly traded products. If other companies begin to help as well and we here in Rich-mond continue to buy Fair Trade products, more workers will be paid fairly and families will be fed.

Fair Trade products can be found easily in any local supermarket. Whether it’s tea or even choco-late and bananas perhaps, some products will be guaranteed the Fair Trade logo. Although the cost for these products can be a little more than average traditionally traded products, it is a small price to pay when you think about how a family will be fed somewhere across the world. Our help here in Richmond towards the troubles of the tea industry may be limited, but by buying Fair Trade tea, we will be giving a great deal to support the lives of farmers in need.

Stephanie ChangRichmond

Things to consider while sipping a cup of teaMany workers and farm-

ers are minimally paid or even not paid at all if they are children being forced

to work as slaves.

Outside of Richmond Hospital, there exists a vast network of health care services in our com-munity to help patients—or clients as they’re often known—to provide the necessary services as they transition from being in the hospital to their very own bed at home.

Home care spans a broad continuum of services for people of many ages, many diverse backgrounds, and many needs that are better cared for at home rather than in a hospital. Some examples include manag-ing pain, medications and chronic diseases, caring for wounds, help-ing people with their intravenous therapies or discontinuing chemo-therapy. Perhaps most profoundly, health care team members often help individuals and fami-lies deal with issues when a loved one chooses to stay at home at the end of life’s journey.

I’d like to introduce to you Martha LeDrew. Mar-tha is one of the many exceptional home care nurses on our team and represents the compas-sionate and expert health care professionals that Richmond is known for. Martha, a Steveston resi-dent, has been a nurse for 33 years and has worked as a home care nurse here in Richmond for 12:

“I’m passionate about home care nursing as I feel I truly make a positive

diff erence in the lives of clients and their families.

“I work with an entire team: other nurses, a dietician, a wound care specialist…there’s also a palliative care physician and a palliative care social worker. We have home support workers and schedulers, occupational therapists, physiothera-pists and we have case managers. Sometimes, depending on the client, you may speak with all of these people on the same day. It’s true patient-centered care here.”

“A lot of my role is teach-ing. We try to involve cli-ents in their own care. For example, if they require IV care, we teach them how to change the battery in their pump and their own medication bags.”

“Clients have a lot of questions. We may also get a lot of questions from the rest of the fam-ily. Many people are very scared, particularly when dealing with palliative care…but they are all very grateful for us being able to come to them at home. We truly care for the entire family.”

“Many of our clients are elderly, but occasionally we have had children who have had burns and require frequent dress-ings in the home. We have some children on IV pumps and we have to change their dressings…We visit new moms who require wound care because of their caesarian sections. It’s a real variety of ages.”

“Because I’m in the client’s home, I’m able to spend more time one on one unlike being on a ward. The relationships often become pretty deep as a result. I feel so fortunate to be able to get to know so many people in our community.

“The one-on-one aspect of home care always

appealed to me. It’s so rewarding to be able to make a diff erence in someone’s life when they are so vulnerable.”

Jack Micner

Th e Whole Kit and KaboodleLast week I wrote about a recent case involving the interpretation of a Will, only to have reasons be released in another case involving Will interpretation. It does seem to indicate that this is a litigious area of the law, such that it’s useful to be clear and careful in drafting a Will (though it doesn’t end there).In this recent case, Re Ali Estate, the deceased died in 2008 with a fairly large Estate, consisting mainly of shares in a private company. Th e deceased’s brother and a daughter, named Co-Executors in the Will, contested the interpretation of the Will. Th e issue for the Court was how to interpret the words “my interest in the company.” Among the company’s assets were two shareholders’ loans, owing to the deceased when he died. Th e two loans are assets (receivables) to the Estate, and the interpretation would decide who was entitled to those assets.Th e Court referred to the rules governing Will interpretation, which can be summarized as being the “Armchair Rule”: the Court puts itself in the position of the Will maker when he or she made their Will, and then construes the Will’s language, taking into account the surrounding facts and the circumstances that the Will maker knew.Th e Court found the dictionary meaning of the word “interest,” and held that an “interest” in a company was more than just the ownership of shares in the company. Th erefore, Mr. Ali, in the bequest to him of 70% of the deceased’s “interest” in the company, received not only 70% of the shares, but also 70% of the two loans due to the Estate. Beyond the simple need to be careful in draft ing a Will, then, it’s useful to add detail when describing a gift in a Will, to defi ne exactly what it encompasses.

PETSALLABOUT

Devoted to the health and happiness of your furry, feathered & fi nned friends

Owning a pet has many positive health benefits

by Jacqueline LangenContributor

Animals need love too, but unfortu-

nately not all are so lucky.

More than one hundred animals have been rescued and taken in by the Richmond Animal Protection Society this year, not including the injured wildlife that the non-profit orga-nization is also caring for.

RAPS assistant manager Kara Fred-erick says there are many instances when animals are in need of help.

“Some of the more common examples include animals that have been abandoned by their owners, those that are abused or neglected, lost or injured animals and feral animals needing assistance.”

The charity focuses on the health and wellbeing of the animals, putting in their best efforts to ensure that all animals are transitioning to healthier lifestyle.

“A number of the animals we get come from terrible situa-tions where they have never been socialized, or have even been abused. We work to solve these issues through various meth-ods such as training and rehabilitation,” said Frederick.

The animal’s health is fully monitored and tended to by RAPS be-fore they are adopted.

“This typically in-cludes being spayed or neutered, tattooed, vaccinated or titer tested, deworming, flea treatment, dental work and a physical exam,” Frederick told The Review.

If any other health matter or complica-tion occurs after an animal is adopted, the owner is encouraged

to contact RAPS and they will ensure that their veterinarian, at no cost, tends to the animal.

Frederick says that owning a pet has many positive health benefits. Pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression, high blood pressure and stress—and pets aid in healthy childhood development.

“Owning an animal also teaches children compassion and re-

sponsibility, especially if the pet is a rescue,” she says.

Frederick says shelters and rescue groups help improve the community by ensuring that adopted animals are spayed or neutered. This man-date helps reduce the amount of unwanted animals being born.

Frederick is adamant about her moral of animal adoption, “Remember—adopt, don’t shop!”

Robert Hubele talks inspiration, breakfast and playing a ‘gangster cafe’ in Holland


It was recorded in a single take in 1964 and became the Animals’

signature song. It also inspired Robert Burton Hubele to make music.

The jazz and blues musician developed a love for the blues listening the the radio as a teen-ager. But it was the song “House of the Rising Sun” that pulled him in further. He just had to learn to play it.

Hubele’s pal Butch, a railway co-worker with an electric guitar and amplifi er, off ered to teach him. It marked the start of a musical life for Hubele, who plays the Steveston Folk Guild next Thursday.

Raised in southern Alberta as the eldest of eight children, the now Vancouver-based Hubele has written and performed songs since 1972. He plays acoustic and electric guitar and slide dobro.

He’s recorded nine albums, including his latest record High-way of Dreams. Writing songs is Hubele’s way of leaving his mark on the world. He writes about little things that make a difference.

He writes when a song comes to him—about once a month—and spends up to two hours putting a song together. The best ones, he says, often come the fastest. Polishing and learning a song takes a few more weeks, and sharing it can last a lifetime.

His March 20 Steveston Folk Guild show is at Britannia Ship-yards, 5180 Westwater Dr. at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $8, at the door, or e-mail [email protected] to reserve.

1. In a sentence, describe your music? “Original bluesy/

jazzy/country/pop with a strong story line.”

2. What inspires your song-writing? “Mostly the small things in life. Interactions and reactions between people. A dream.”

3. What comes fi rst in song-writing—the story or the music? “The music comes fi rst, usually an interesting lick. If I can get the fi rst two lines the song is written.”

4. Most memorable concert you’ve attended? “B.B. King at Calgary’s Jubilee Auditorium. I got to meet and speak with B.B. after the show.”

5. What do you like best about Vancouver? “The fl owers.”

6. Do you miss rural Alberta? “We miss the long rides in the endless foothills and our family and friends we left behind.”

7. Have you ever taken formal music lessons? “No. I’m entirely self-taught.”

8. Place in the world you’d enjoy getting lost? “Southern California.”

9. Musician you most revere? “My longtime col-laborator and co-producer Brad

Steckel of Calgary.”10. How did the Prairies infl u-

ence your music? “The wide open landscapes and the hard labour jobs I worked, and the people I worked with, became the tapestry upon which I wrote many of my early songs.”

11. You titled your most recent CD Highway of Dreams. Why? “I’ve been a truck driver and machine operator off and on through most of my life. The song I titled the album after is about having the perfect long-haul experience. It’s a metaphor for the journey I’m on, I guess. It’s not the destination, it’s the ride.”

12. Most unusual place you’ve performed? “In a gangster cafe in northern Holland, where most of the patrons were big, mean and were carrying guns. They liked me, thank heavens.”

13. Favourite post-concert snack? “Hot cocoa and cognac.”

14. Your usual breakfast? “A fruit smoothy.”

15. Trapped in a shopping mall, you might leave with? “Books.”

Bean and Beyond owner bringing village together for big celebration

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Davood Khatami is a big soccer fan, the kind who might take of-fense to the use of the word soc-cer, when it’s obviously football, with all due respect to the CFL and NFL.

The owner of Bean & Beyond Cafe in Steveston, has for months been working to bring World Cup soccer fever to the fi shing village, in anticipation of the international soccer tourney taking place in Bra-zil from June 12 to July 13.

His idea: a village-wide cultural celebration, with shopkeepers each

adopting a country, and showcas-ing its colours in Steveston for the month prior to the Sunday, July 13 championship fi nal, where one country will snatch bragging rights for the next four years until the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

32 countries are vying for the trophy, and Khatami hopes that an equal number of shopkeepers will participate, decorating its store in the country’s colours.

There will be a series of fun activi-ties set up, with each business get-ting a national day, with the spot-light focusing on them, he said.

The plan, as it stands right now, is to encourage people to come

to Steveston to showcase their national pride. Participants can qualify for a special grand prize at the end of the tourney, simply by bringing a passport to each par-ticipating business.

He envisions the celebration culminating with two big par-ties in the Steveston Community Centre on July 12 and 13, during the consolation fi nal and the fi nal, with live music and a big screen TV displaying the matches, which will occur at noon and 11 a.m. re-spectively.

“It’s a Richmond party. I want to bring everybody together.”

So far, the Steveston Commu-nity Centre has jumped on board, as have more than a dozen busi-nesses. He’s still negotiating with the City of Richmond, represen-tatives of which have stated they love the idea.

Anyone interested in participat-ing can call him at his store at 604-277-2687.

Science Jam packed 1,000 into Aberdeen Centre

by Gillian Chan, Nico Hernandez and Sophie GaoYouth Reporters

Aberdeen Centre was positively bubbling with youthful energy dur-ing Science Jam, part of the Richmond School District’s Education Week activities.

Tony Smith, Rosaline Leung and Hanna Dunkley didn’t seem at all squeamish about their icky experiment, called Moldy Madness.

The Tait El-ementary students re-searched

how food would decom-pose in diff erent room temperatures, specifi cally bananas, as part of the 11th annual Science Jam at Aberdeen Centre, which was part of Educa-tion Week.

“We found that mold grows faster in warm tem-peratures than it does in cooler temperatures,” said Smith, a fi nding which supported their original hypothesis.

Grade 7 students Shawna Spottiswood and Teri Rogers from Tome-kichi Homma elementary focused their project on water wheels because it was “fresh and unique.”

The two demonstrated how water wheels work and explained their func-tions in everyday life.

Garden City Elemen-tary’s Andy Ren and Adrian Fun worked with a classmate on their project, Fizzy Ice Cream, an experiment to see how

dry ice carbonates things.W.D. Ferris’ Lucy Lu and

Nita Ji studied the rela-tionship between eggs and teeth.

“Our question was, what kind of liquids are bad for your teeth,” explained Lu.

Added Nita: “We know that eggs have a similar tissue to our teeth.”

They left an egg soaking in vinegar for fi ve days, to fi nd that the egg’s fi rst layer dissolved after just an hour, and hinting at a similar outcome for teeth.

Dixon elementary’s Brianna Baignee, Willow Browne and Katie Con-roy’s project put some bright lights on the big city of New York City.

“Our project is about electricity and mainly LEDs and how to wire them,” said Baignee. “I learned to put a resistor on, so it doesn’t blow up, because that’s what happened to our last one,” she said.

The lesson they learned: “Putting in a battery with too high a voltage is a bad idea,” Browne said.

A group of William Bridge elementary stu-dents collaborated on Ice Ice Baby.

“Our question was, which ice shape melts fastests, and in water or club soda,” said Emma Hodgins. “The star-shaped melted the fastest because it had the most surface area. They all melted faster in water because liquid conducts heat faster than gases.”

L’ecole des Navigateurs’ Nawal Mustapha and Kai-ya Ronalds made thunder and lightning from static electricity using a plastic bag and a metallic fork, along with Playdoh and aluminum plates.

“It was very fun,” said Mustapha.

“We do see thunder and lightning often but this time we got to see how it was created,” Ronalds said.

Hand-eye co-ordination was the focus of Tait El-ementary students Randi Kohar and Manbir Rattin’s

project, Circuit Game.Dixon Elementary’s Eric

Hawthorne and Jordan Loucuvic gave a demon-stration on electromag-

netism.They made a train out

of aluminum cans, that was powered by an egg, which was the source of

their electromagnetism.“Science Jam is really,

cool. You get to experi-ence new things,” said Loucuvic.”

Jazz musicians showcase talents

by Angelica PoverskyYouth Reporter

High school jazz ensembles gathered to share their collective talents and fi ll Gateway Theatre with beautiful music at the annual Jazz Night.

As part of Education Week late last month, teachers and avid listen-ers came to see what the Richmond District’s jazz band programs, and some 275 music students, had in store.

While Matthew McNair made the au-dience want to get up and dance with rich energetic hot jazz and swing, R.A. McMath stole the hearts of the audience playing soft smooth emotional melodies. In between were various combos, trios of basses, pianos and percussion, with complex rhythms and powerful melody lines.

“It’s really fun to play with others and jam. I’ve made two really good friends out of it,” says Hunter Arceses a Grade 12 member of the McMath jazz band.

Cracking Canada’s small car conundrumGENEVA, Switzerland - Small cars are huge here in Europe, if not in size certainly in numbers.Everywhere you turn, it seems there is either a Ford Fiesta or an Opel Astra (the General Motors subsidiary) about to cross your path. If it is not those examples, there are any number of other similar sized economy cars from the likes of Citroen, VW, and Peugeot buzzing by. Micro cars such as the tiny Smart, with which we are fa-miliar, and even smaller vehicles zip into roadside parking spots where previously only a motor-cycle would park.My two-prong mission at the Geneva Motor Show was to view small cars we might see sometime soon and others we never will see but wish we could! Then ponder whether small cars will ever catch on here in the way they have in Europe.There was something familiar about the first car I encountered in the giant Palexpo show buildings. Ah yes, a European version of the trusty Honda Civic – Canada’s hottest seller in that market segment. I am sure Honda Canada would sell more if they resembled the very hot Type R concept, which is destined to be a racer. Yes, the new North American Civic is sportier than the last generation but the Euro versions always seem that bit sharper in design.Next up was the Mazda Hazumi hatchback, expected successor to the current Mazda2 and

likely to adopt the same numeric moniker. The concept vehicle has an all-new 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-D diesel engine. Citroen no longer sells in North America though periodically we hear rumours of a return by the French manufacturer and its home rivals, Peugeot and Re-nault. Their lines are so different to the often indistinguishable small cars we get. Some of the French creations are positively funky and I found myself gaw-ping at such an example in the new Citroen C4 Cactus. It’s designed to challenge the likes of the Ford Focus and the VW Golf. It uses lightweight materials ex-tensively, including an aluminum hood, which means it sips gas. The rubberized pads along the side would be perfect for people

who regularly have close encounters with garage doorframes!General Motors looks to penetrate the difficult younger buyer marked with its Opel/Vaux-hall Adam. It’s dressed up in interesting colours but it’s what is under the hood that makes it really interesting. It has a variety of bigger engines as options but its smallest engine is a new 1.0-litre, three-cylinder gas engine, mated to a six-speed manual trans-mission, with the pulling power of 1.6-litre power plant. Fuel consumption is expected to be a miserly 4.5 L/100 km (combined city highway). It may show up here in some form but right now GM has more than its fair share of small cars.

So far, I’ve looked at econo cars at the lower end of the market. No point in me offering price details because all Euro cars are substan-tially more expensive than the same examples sold here in Canada.Finally, I cast a close eye over the Audi S1, which is a hot sportback version of the popular A1.It comes with a 228hp 2.0-litre turbocharged gas engine capable of hitting 100 km/h in less than six seconds. I will reveal it will sell for more than $40,000 in the UK. It’s fast, it’s a premium offering and I’ll eat my hat if it shows up here.All of the above have great fuel economy going for them and most are competitively priced. The common keys to their success likely come down to two key factors. Impressive fuel consumption numbers matter because fuel in Europe is substantially more expensive than here. And Europe is crawling with folks going about their daily duties on often far less land and road space.While there is a greater acceptance of smaller vehicles in our cities, people outside urban areas have more ground to cover and so are tempted by larger vehicles, especially as a first family vehicle.And the truth is that the advances in fuel saving technology means there’s not a massive difference between the econo-cars and small family sedans. And perhaps a bigger factor is for “an extra $20 a month, madam, you could have the roominess and utility of this car.” A line heard in most dealerships, most days. And the sales people are not wrong.

The Fiat 500 is cute but might not be the most practical choice as a family vehicle.

Sure, it has room for four, a peppy personality (even with its base 101 horse-power engine,) but access-ing the rear seats isn’t the easiest and the cargo room is minimal.

Enter the all-new-for-2014 Fiat 500L: The “L” stands for “large” so those interior volume deficiencies listed with its pint-sized sibling are no more.

Dimensionally, the L is 27 inches longer, 6 inches taller in height and in width and there’s an extra 42 percent when it comes to inside space.

But wait, there’s more. Literally. The L comes with two additional doors

to allow for easy access to the rear seats. And room for five passengers.

It loses a little bit of its pinch-the-chee ks cuteness but its practicality makes up for it.

In the driver’s seat, you have an almost unadulterated outward visibility. The 500L features a segment-exclusive glass from the A- to D-pillars that provide nearly 360-degree panoramic views.

Parking is easy because you can pretty much see out of all four corners. And the 500L – even with its “large” designation

– still fits comfortably into urban settings.

Driving the 500L, I noticed it doesn’t have quite the same amount of panache as the 500 Turbo. Granted, it’s a heavier vehicle.

But to still keep some of the driving fun behind the wheel, Fiat has outfitted it with a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo engine that provides 160 horsepower, 184 lb-ft. of torque.

It’s also is available with two transmission options. Firstly, there’s a 6-speed manual. Then there’s

an available 6−Speed Euro Twin Clutch “automatic.” The latter of the two costs an additional $1,450 and came equipped on my 500L Lounge trim.

To be honest, this dual clutch transmis-sion was my least favourite part of the vehicle. It felt as though the gearing was off or it had some sort of gremlin inside causing a raucous to disturb the smooth functionality of what I would have expected.

On the flip side, there’s nothing that I felt was fundamentally wrong with it. The transmission changed gears, got the car moving and did exactly what it was supposed to do. It also just felt weird/awkward to me and unlike any other dual clutch transmission, I’ve operated. Per-

haps it is one of those features I would just need to get used to over time but our time together wasn’t long enough for me to embrace its quirks!

There were, however, other highlights of the 500L.

The Lounge trim comes standard with leather trimmed bucket seats and front heated seats, perfect for those chilly mornings.

An upgraded item that was optioned on the L was the Uconnect system with a 6.5-inch screen (the standard is a 5-inch screen) complete with Bluetooth, Sirius satellite radio and a Beats Premium Au-dio System ($500.) If you’re a music lover,

this is a great to add to a Fiat.Besides, I find that the Uconnect media

interface is one of the most intuitive infotainment systems to work with in the industry.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC,) Hill Start Assist and 4−Wheel ABS brakes are part of its DNA along with a ParkView rear back−up camera, dual zone climate controls and steering wheel mounted audio controls.

When cruising along at highway speeds, road noise is kept to a minimum, which allowed me to enjoy the music via the Beats stereo system a little more.

In corners, the 500L doesn’t have as

tight of a setup as the 500, so don’t push it too hard since body roll is more evident.

Perhaps what really stands about this compact car is just how much people room there is inside. I never felt cramped nor did my passengers. Not to mention the 633L (22.4 cubic feet) of storage behind the second row seats.

The MSRP of the 2014 Fiat 500L Lounge is $25,995. With the options and destination, the price as tested comes to $30,850.

2014 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport

Toyota is known for build-ing high quality cars with fantastic resale value and has grabbed more Canadian Black Book “Best Retained Value” Awards than any other manufacturer.

In the Lexus line of cars and SUVs, the best seller by far is the RX 350 mid-sized SUV. Built using parts com-mon to other Lexus and Toyota products, it represents a lot of what Toyota/Lexus is doing right. The engine is powerful but still thrifty enough for most families, the space is generous and the design is elegant. For buyers that are looking for a bit more performance from the RX, the F-Sport package adds visual and emotional punch. Looks

Over the last several years, Lexus has taken a more aggressive design approach with its latest introductions. The front grille is more dynamic, designed to mimic a spindle used in a fabric loom. This is a tip of the hat to the origins of the Toyota Company as a textile maker. LED marker lights and a deeper chin spoiler frame the more aggressive grille. The larger 19-inch

wheels come in a smoked satin finish and the suspen-sion is tweaked for more performance. Around back, all RX 350 models come with a power rear lift gate. One of the reasons the RX is so popular is the ag-gressive starting price. The base model, with the same engine as this F-Sport, starts at $46,150 making it a very attractive alternative to buying a spendy German SUV. The F-Sport model is $55,400 but comes almost fully loaded, with only two options available, the Intuitive Parking Assist and Heads up Display, which brings the price to $58,850Inside

The 2014 RX is a mid-cycle refresh of the model

that was introduced in 2010. Lexus didn’t refresh the inside of the cabin at all, keeping the updates to the exterior and driveline. Not to say that the inside is a disappoint-ment, rather that some things could be tweaked. I’ll start with the positives.

The cabin has plenty of room for a family

of four with a big back seat and lots of legroom. The materials used are of the highest order and the RX put together well. The controller for the communications and navigation system is unique in the industry, mimicking a computer mouse. It feels very natural and the driver rarely needs to take their eyes of the road.

The array of buttons and their less than logical layout could do with an update. The F-Sport comes which heated and cooled seats but it took me about five minutes to locate the switch in the centre armrest. The dial for the tuner is as far away from the driver as it could be and the seating posi-tion is very high.Drive

At the heart of all RX 350 models is a very

versatile 3.5L V6 engine with 270hp. The F-Sport is made sportier by the inclusion of an 8-speed automatic transmission instead of the regular 6-speed unit. By adding two more gears this new model really jumps away from a stop and pulls very well to highway speeds. Two extra gears make a world of difference, helping to bring the engine to life and improving fuel economy.

The suspension has also been modified to include a sport tuned dampers and springs. I could certainly tell this RX is different, in some city conditions, the ride can be very choppy and not what typical Lexus buyers would expect. The up side is that open road driving is much more sure-footed and dynamic. When the RX is thrown off-centre the top heavy nature of the RX

shows its head, the centre of gravity feels much higher than some of the other sporty models in this class.Verdict

The RX350 is the best seller in the Lexus line for good reason. It offers the same interior space as a mid-sized sedan but sits higher for greater outward viability, comes standard with all- wheel drive and has a high resale value. The RX 350 F-Sport takes all the goodness of the regular RX and makes it a bit more aggressive, especially in the acceleration front. Potential buyers would be well advised to drive both the regular model and this sportier version to see if you can live with the choppy ride, it really is dramatic.

Drives-U-Crazy . . .Hanging a left on a red

Teaching people the unusual rules of the road would make driving a little less frustrating in busy centres.

For instance, everybody knows that it is legal to make a right turn on a red light. However, it seems few people realize it is fine to hang a left on red from a two-way street into a one-way street.

If there are no vehicles approaching from your right on the green it’s perfectly safe and efficient and reduces lengthy backups.

The Cadillac CTS has captured numerous awards and spearheaded a modern transformation of the iconic American luxury car maker, since its introduction in 2003.

The high-powered, high-performance “V” edition can go toe-to-toe with the best of its Euro competi-tors and has set produc-tion car lap records at the renowned Nurburgring, in Germany.

Even more important, for used car buyers, the CTS (2011-13) has a very good reliability record, which helped get it a “recom-mended buy” rating from Consumer Reports. Other pluses include surpris-ingly good fuel economy numbers (with either V6 engine) and attractive resale values (for buyers).

CTS was the first Cadillac to feature that distinctively sharp edge styling that’s now synonymous with the brand and this was taken to another level with the 2008, second generation, redesign. By 2011, the CTS line had grown to include Sport Wagon and Coupe editions, plus “V” editions of both. The 2011 CTS-V Coupe was voted the “Best New Sports / Performance Car over $50,000” by the Automo-bile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).

Entry-level editions of the 2011 CTS sedan came with a 3.0-litre (255 horsepower) V6 that’s mated to either a six-speed manual or auto-matic transmission. Fuel economy with the 3.0L/auto powertrain is a frugal 11.3/7.2 L/100 km (city/highway). The optional 3.6 litre is a 24-valve engine with direct fuel injec-tion that can generate 304 horsepower and fuel economy is 11.4/6.9 L/100 km, which is roughly the same.

The CTS all-wheel drive system runs a 30/70 front-to-rear drive split under normal conditions, to maintain a rear-drive driving dynamic. It’s also capable of delivering up to 100 per cent of torque to either axle when needed and fuel economy-wise it adds about 0.5L/100km, which is reasonable.

Moving up to a V-edition of CTS you get a 556-horsepower super-charged V8 engine (from the Corvette) that likes premium fuel and gulps it down a rate of 17.7/10.5 L/100 km (city/highway). Aimed squarely at driving enthusiasts, the go-faster V-edition also comes with high-performance addi-tions such as its Magnetic Ride Control system and a Brembo brake package.

The interior is decid-edly driver focused, yet still luxurious. In front of the driver is a three-pod instrument cluster with a combination of analog and digital readouts. A centrally positioned chrome-ringed analog time clock adds a touch of elegance and a partially hidden pop-up multi-use monitor is a unique feature. The front bucket seats are generously sized and you sit lower (sports car like) in the Coupe than in the sedan or the wagon.

The front passenger is

protected by a unique dual-depth design of air bag that is more effective at reducing injuries in a vehicle collision. The 2011 edition of CTS also got a “Top Safety” rating from the IIHS (Insurance Insti-tute for Highway Safety), based on its crash testing results.

An optional safety feature worth having is an adaptive forward lighting system. It includes brighter Xenon headlights that automatically move (up to 15 degrees) in the direc-tion of intended travel for improved visibility while

cornering at night. The steering is on the

light side yet has a precise action and the CTS is agile for a vehicle its size and weight. While the V6 may seem tame at low engine speeds, the power boost above 4,000 rpm is considerable. Manual shifts are via steering wheel-mounted buttons on the back of the steer-ing wheel.

The Cadillac CTS has head-turning style and comfort in abundance, but it can also offer a level of performance like no other Cadillac. A brand new CTS

sedan costs about $45,000 to $60,000 and a V-edition is over $70,000.

Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Cadil-lac CTS:

2012 - The brake booster pushrod retention nut may not have received ad-equate tightening torque during vehicle assembly and could separate from the brake pedal assembly. Dealers will inspect the pushrod retention nut and, if necessary, torque the nut to specification.

Confessions of a CurberI was itching to sell another car. I‘d spent my fi rst cash quickly. The new TV looked great in my living room.So I scrounged the dealer lots in my neighbourhood. I found the perfect car at a small dealership not far from my house.Gray with four doors. Everything was still intact, but it was priced low. The dealer gave me the car’s history right away. It had been in three accidents over its lifetime. Nothing too major, but damage was done and repaired.I couldn’t spot the repairs. So, I happily bought it and registered it.I didn’t want my wife and kids to know what I was up to, so I parked it around the block. I knew it would be gone in a few days.This time, I used Kijiji and Craigslist.“Car for sale. Served me well, but wife wants a new car. Accident and damage free. Looking to sell fast, low price. Cash only. Call cell for info.”I got a text message from a woman across town. I told her I’d meet her at a nearby gas station and would throw in a free tank of gas. She was thrilled.When I met her, she told me that she needed a cheap, dependable vehicle to get to her new job. She’d been taking the bus for weeks and was tired of her commute. To my annoyance, she wanted to check the vehicle thoroughly. So I distracted her. I told her I was sad to let “my baby” go, but I

wanted to keep my wife happy. She nodded sympathetically.As she handed me the money, she asked if the vehicle was in any accidents. Now, I’m not a good liar. So I simply said, No. It’s her fault for not asking for a CarProof or ICBC vehicle history report.That seemed to do it. She was pleased and drove away with a smile on her face. As for me, I went home with a fat wallet. A few days later, I got a text:“Got CarProof report. Three accidents?!?!? Need money back now!!!”I panicked. But not for long. I was getting good at this. I just got a new cell number. She didn’t know my name – that old fake ID worked great. And she had no idea where I lived. Finding me would wear her out. I was in the clear. But will I be so lucky next time?*Curber – An individual posing as a private

With the Vancouver In-ternational Auto Show just around the corner, I thought I would share my list of exciting new SUVs that are available.

Tough to nail down just one but I am sure one of these would spark some interest.

2014 Ford Explorer Sport is a performance version of its popular SUV. The headlights and taillights have been blacked out to give it a sporty appear-ance. 20-inch painted and machined wheels allow room for the larger brakes that help it stop faster and improve performance when towing. The engine is an impressive 3.5 litre, twin turbocharged EcoBoost V6, producing a whopping 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque with a 6 speed automatic transmission. To say this is quick off the line is an understatement. The Explorer also features a terrain management system that lets you select between sand, snow, mud, or hill descent. $46,999

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit equipped with a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine putting out 240 hp and 420 lb ft of torque with an 8 speed transmission delivers excellent millage while provide exceptional comfort. Natura-Plus leather faced seating, wood trim with copper accents, and a 19 speaker, 825 watt Harmon/Kar don audio system keep you relaxed and alert. Up to date safety fea-tures such as enhanced accident response system, blind spot monitoring system,

back up camera, engine immobilizer, hill start assist, and all speed traction control are just some of the many features this vehicle has to offer to keep you safe. Excellent value. Starting at $60,895

2014 Jeep Cherokee is a completely redesigned five passenger SUV that has a front end that will stand out from the crowd. A seven-slotted grille and razor thin headlights makes the Jeep truly unique. The engine is a 2.4L Tiger-

shark Multiair straight 4 cylinder deliver-ing 184 hp and 171 lb ft of torque mated to a 9 speed automatic transmission. It can tow up to 2000lbs. The trail rated Trailhawk version has an active drive lock 4x4 system with 4 low gear and a rear-locking differential. It also features a neutral mode for flat towing behind an RV. Sport 4x4 $25,895 TrailHawk $30,895

2014 Range Rover Sport is not just another luxury SUV; it is a fully capable off-road vehicle. The engine is a 510 horsepower, supercharged 5.0 litre V8 that puts out 461 lb-ft of torque @2500 RPM with a 6 speed automatic transmission. This transmission features Command Shift that actively responds to your driving habits and road condi-tions by reconfiguring the shift patterns for optimum drivability in all situations and is mated with a 2 speed electroni-cally controlled transfer case. Four wheel electronic traction control, hill descent control, and four corner air suspension with terrain response not only makes this

vehicle maneuver well on the road but can take you on some of the roughest back roads British Columbia has to offer. $125,575

2014 Toyota 4runner is as rugged and bold as they come. A legend in the off-road community, this 4runner does not disappoint. Powering this truck is a 4.0 Litre V6 dual valve timing V6 engine that produces an impressive 270 hp and 278 lb ft of torque. The 4Runner has 2 rows of seats, with an optional 3rd row, available on the upgrade and limited packages. An available sliding rear cargo tray holds up to 200 kg and comes in very handy when camping. The Toyota 4runner hugs the road and the bucket seats hug you. It is very comfortable to drive and you feel safe driving it. Standard package $37,900

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s defi nitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offl oad the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected offi cials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

Sockeyes to play for cup

by Don FennellSports Editor

Richmond Sockeyes got the brooms out at the Harry Je-rome Rec Centre Wednesday.

For the second straight playoff series, the top team in the Pacifi c Junior Hockey League regular season scored a four-game sweep as Richmond rallied from a 6-3 defi cit after two periods to outscore North Vancouver Wolf Pack 8-6 and win the best-of-seven Tom Shaw Conference semifi nal four games to none.

The Sockeyes, which also defeated Grandview Steelers four games to none in the opening round of the playoff s, will now face Aldergrove Kodiaks in the championship se-ries—which will begin next week in Aldergrove. Game 1 is set for Wednesday, March 19, with the teams returning to Richmond for Game 2 the following night. Game time is 7 p.m. at Minoru Arenas.

“We’re going to have to real good (to defeat Aldergrove),” said Richmond coach Judd Lambert. “They’re a real strong team, with probably the most talent in the league. Look at the league’s leading scorers. They’ve got a lot of them, and and experience 20-year-old goalie who’s also very good and defenceman able to chip in on the scoring as well.”

With two victoires—4-3 at Richmond on Oct. 17 and 5-4 at home Jan. 29, Aldergrove won the season series between the teams. Richmond won 2-1 here Jan.2 and the teams tied 4-4 in Aldergrove on Oct. 30.

Richmond, which fi nished a point up on Aldergrove in the overall regular-season standings, needed to stage a memo-rable comeback Wednesday to avoid a fi fth game against North Vancouver. The Wolf Pack led 6-3 after two periods before the Sockeyes fl exed their off ensive muscle with three goals in a under a minute in the third period. Liam Lawson scored at 4:52, Mac Colasimone at 5:14 and Jacob Wozney at 5:39 to tie the game. Cole Plotnikoff then scored what proved to be the winning goal at 8:58, followed by an insur-ance tally from Matthew Bissett at 13:29.

Michael Scobie scored twice for Richmond in the second period, while Bissett also had a pair—his fi rst goal briefl y ty-ing the game at 1-1 late in the opening frame.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Anthem Properties is bringing something special to Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood with Th e Rockwoods, a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes that truly has something for everyone.

“Th is is Anthem’s fi rst townhome property,” says Director of Marketing Peter Edmonds. “We wanted something that stood out, something a little diff erent.”

Built in a West Coast contemporary architecture style, Th e Rockwoods combines stonework and timber in one beautiful exterior package.

“Th ere’s a nice balance here,” says Edmonds. “People recognize classic architecture, but this is something diff erent. You have to execute contemporary well, as I

strongly believe we’ve done here.”German-engineered wide-plank wood

laminate fl ooring is included throughout the living areas, while plush carpeting is featured in the bedrooms and dens. Huge 9’8” ceilings make the homes feel even more open. Th e fl oorplans are spacious, ranging from 1,189 to over 1,400 square feet.

Th e gourmet kitchens include polished granite countertops complemented by stainless-steel appliances, contemporary fl at-panel cabinetry and a designer tile backsplash. Select homes have a kitchen island or pantry with an integrated work station.

Th e ensuite bathroom have their own polished granite countertops and fl at-panel cabinetry. Porcelain tile fl ooring complements the ceramic tile surrounds and contemporary glass shower surround or soaker tub.

Th e Rockwoods is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything the Fleetwood neighbourhood has to off er, including dining, shopping, education, leisure and recreation opportunities.

“It’s very well-connected,” says Edmonds. “We wanted to create a community in what is already established.”

Homeowners will also have access to Th e Rockwoods Club, a 4,500-square-foot amenities building with a fully equipped gym, kitchen, entertainment lounge and much more. Th ere will also be a children’s playground, community gardens and landscaped grounds and walking trails in the community.

“Th e amenities are really an extension of your living space,” says Edmonds.

Th e second phase of homes at Th e Rockwoods was recently released, and Edmonds notes that there has already been huge interest.

“Th e fi rst release of second phase homes has been incredibly successful,” he says.

Homes at Th e Rockwoods start in the low $300s. For more information, check out www.rockwoodsliving.com, call 604-503-1188 or visit the presentation centre 8473 163rd Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Modern Tudor-style architecture and a great location are combined in Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood with Mason&Green, a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes from Polygon that have already been extremely popular.

“Th ese are beautiful fl oorplans,” says sales manager Th eresa Liljedahl. “It’s a new and unique design.”

Th ese new fl oorplans include side-by-side garages for the added convenience of never having to move one car to get the

other out, and powder rooms on the main fl oor.Oversized windows let in tons of natural light, while nine-

foot ceilings on the main fl oor contribute to the sense of spaciousness. Laminate wood fl ooring is included throughout the living areas, with plush carpeting in the bedrooms and on the stairs.

Other gorgeous features include engineered stone countertops in the kitchen, complemented by contemporary custom-craft ed fl at-panel laminate cabinetry in gloss white or

graphite vertical wood grain. Th e kitchen island perfect for entertaining or family gatherings is a focal point of the space.

Th e bathrooms are luxurious, with a spacious walk-in shower with glass door in the ensuite and bathtub with ceramic tile surround in the main bathroom. Designer-selected laminate countertops with an integrated backsplash are featured in both, as well as custom-designed fl at-panel laminate cabinetry in the same colour schemes as the kitchen.

Mason&Green is within easy access to shopping, dining and services at Willoughby Town Centre, as well as an elementary school directly next door.

Homeowners at Mason&Green will have access to Th e Maples Club, an 8,400-square-foot amenities building with an outdoor patio area with BBQ, resort-style pool and whirlpool, fi tness studio, great room with fi replace and more.

Th e fi rst phase sold quickly, and Liljedahl says that the second phase will open for sale on March 22nd at noon.

Homes at Mason & Green start at $314,900. For more information, check out www.polyhomes.com, call 604-882-5382 or visit the presentation centre at 7848 209th Street, open daily except Friday between noon and 6 p.m.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.-English proverb

by Don FennellSports Editor

To his Grade 8 boys’ basketball team, Jared Hulme is simply known as coach.

In that capacity alone, his infl u-ence is signifi cant. But his additional work throughout the community—often behind the scenes—speaks volumes about his character.

Hulme epitomizes the best of sport—demonstrating every day the kind of values that athletics fos-ters.

While the seed for last week’s inaugural Richmond KidSport fundraiser—Building Community Champions—had been planted, it required the dedication of a team of volunteers to make it grow. At the front stood Hulme, willing and anx-ious to accept the challenge.

“I believe strongly in what sport can do for a person,” said Hulme. “A

lot of who I am today and my suc-cess I owe to sport and I love having the opportunity to give back. We’ve seen a decline in participation in sport because of increasing costs, making it unaff ordable for some, and with grants declining every year it’s important we (as a community) fi nd ways to help keep kids active.”

Things haven’t always come easy for Hulme, but it’s perhaps in part because of this that he’s learned to appreciate what he does have. Helping others has always been part of his character.

Basketball played a signifi cant role in shaping Hulme and his ideals, es-pecially teamwork.

Growing up in Richmond, he was a good player but seldom the star. He typically worked hard for his points and when he was older—as a mem-ber of the vaunted Richmond Colts in the late 1990s—also for playing time.

Like so many Colts of the day, Hulme, who coached this year’s Grade 8 team to a league champi-

onship, refl ects with pride on his days playing for Richmond High. One of his teammates was Pasha Bains, who went on to become one of the greatest scor-ers of the era and today heads up the popular Drive Bas-ketball Academy.

“Jared (a year old-er than Bains) was someone I looked up to, even when I was younger,” said Bains. “To his credit, when other guys caught up to him skill-wise, he always had a real-ly good attitude and he was always such a good leader. He was always a coach on the fl oor and a leader to me. But the great-est thing I can say about Jared is that he continues to be a really great friend.”

Don Fennell photoJoined by longtime friend Pasha Bains (left) and members of his Richmond Colts’ Grade 8 boys’ basketball team, Jared Hulme (right) was one of the key organizers in KidSport’s Building Community Champions fundraiser last week at the Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel.

Soccer Sunday showcases local talentby Don FennellSports Editor

A great goal kicked off Soccer Sunday and a great show of talent capped it.

In the 29th minute of the annual Don Taylor League Cup fi nal—the premier match in the Richmond Adult Soccer Association season—Nan Yang scampered past a defender and down the left side of the park, before unleash-ing a howitzer from the top of the 18 yard box that found its way into the top right corner of the net. It was the only tally in a well-played and entertaining aff air, as the All Blacks defended their league title over a First Division Clippers’

side that had several good scoring against their Premier Division foes but simply couldn’t con-vert.

Clippers’ goalkeeper Nenad Aleksic also made several notable saves, particularly early on.

Then, to cap a special doubleheader last weekend at Minoru Park, the best players in the league joined forces in a memorable show of skill. Team Green (coached by longtime Club Ireland manager Jim Brady) edged Sean Hand-lin’s Team White 3-2 in the annual all-star game.

“Soccer Sunday is my favourite event of the year,” says Richmond Adult Soccer Association president Steve Valenzuela. “The board works hard to put on a quality event to show appre-

ciation for the players and coaches and I’d really like to thank the executive for the hours they put into making this happen. It takes a tremen-dous amount of work to pull this off and it sim-ply wouldn’t be possible without their eff orts.”

Valenzuela was equally ecstatic that Don Taylor himself was able to be on hand to make the presentation of the League Cup named in honour of the former league president.

“I think the teams really appreciated having him there,” said Valenzuela. “Many of us re-member Don at the helm of the league in our younger years, so to have him come out and share some memories and reconnect with sev-eral players was really great to see.”

Don Fennell photoThe man himself (right) presented the Don Taylor League Cup to Richmond All Blacks at Soccer Sunday, held last weekend at Minoru Park. All Blacks defeated the Cliippers 1-0 in the Richmond Adult Soccer Association’s title game.

Recent grads guide Sharks in playoff s

Thanks to the eff orts of recent grads like Malcolm Lee and Deion Adaza, the future of basketball at Steveston-London seems bright.

With Lee and Adaza at the helm, the school’s Grade 9 boys’ basket-ball team made its sec-ond consecutive trip to the B.C.’s. Featuring a talented group of stu-dent-athletes—Fardaws Aimaq, Ahmed Moham-med (honourable men-tion all-stars), Isaiah Hunter, Jerome Fernan-dez, Daniel Chen, Ryan Curtis, Emilio Cardenas, Jacky Liu, Zach Cantwell, Craig Johnston, Jonah Pang, Nicolas Miu, Ste-ven Zhou, Jacob Ong and Michael Mendoza.

The Sharks’ Grade 9 boys’ team earned most sportsmanlike hon-ours in placing fi fth at last week’s provincial championship. Winners

of the Richmond title, when they defeated Richmond Colts in mid-February, the Sharks placed second at the Vancouver and District playdowns when the Colts answered back in an all-Richmond fi nal.

Meanwhile, Steveston-London’s Grade 9 girls’ team, also winners of a Richmond title this season and third-place fi nishers at the districts, placed 10th at provin-cials with a 2-2 record.

The Sharks were: Ni-cole Canave, Maggie Campbell, Eclipse Ma-lixi, Ibtisaam Warsame, Jessica Bilaya, Danielle Steele, Hailey Takasaki, Melody Chen, Cheryl Wong, Madigan Sher-rett, Nadia Claypack, Adelaide Chan, Vicky Malonda and Kyra Kura-moto. Troy Takasaki and Colin Naylor served as coaches.
