Restaurateur rejects shark fin ban

FRIDAY, JULY 13, 2012

Fun in the sun

‘Chinese people are part of the food chain’ keeping sharks in check, owner says

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A possible shark fin ban in Richmond has the stomachs of some local restaurant owners churning.

David Chung, owner of The Jade Seafood Restaurant on Alexandra Road, vows to put up a fight if city council follows Toronto’s lead of banning the sale and consumption of the Chinese delicacy used in soup.

“Shark fin soup is a tradition that we don’t want to break. It’s something we treasure,” said Chung in an interview with The Richmond Review.

The Jade offers four types of shark fin soup on its dinner menu, ranging from $24 to $63, and it’s a popular choice on banquet menus. But elected officials are now mulling a ban on shark fins, following an activist’s plea at city hall Monday.

DAVID CHUNG The B.C. Asian Restaurant and Cafe Owners Association, which represents nearly 100 restaurants in Richmond, Vancouver and Burnaby, met Wednesday and agreed a ban on shark fins wouldn’t hurt their bottom line, but would infringe on their rights, said Chung, who is the association’s president.

“Nobody likes the idea of banning this eating of shark fin because it’s our right to eat things like this.”

Proponents of a ban say shark finning is inhumane, with poachers catching their prey, cutting off the fins and throwing the sharks overboard. They also say the demand for fins is threatening many shark species with extinction.

But Chung believes only a small portion of harvesters treat the animals as activists claim, adding government shouldn’t focus on such a “little” issue.

“The reason for it is so minor and these activists make such a big deal out of it. It’s just totally unfair,” he said. “If the federal government decided we can import shark fin, we should be able to eat it.”

Long strike at Olympic oval averted Engineers and building service workers land tentative deal for first contract at Olympic venue

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Unionized workers at the Richmond Olympic Oval held a brief strike this week on the eve of a Yonex Canada Open 2012 badminton tournament.

Pickets went up late Monday, as 29 engineers and building service workers walked off the job. By Tuesday night, pickets came down after a tentative deal was reached between the Richmond

Olympic Oval Corporation and International Union of Operating Engineers, local 882.

“It needs to be ratified by both sides, but that’s fully expected,” said oval spokesperson Aran Kay Thursday.

Union spokesperson Saundra Taylor said the workers were certified April 2011, but hadn’t been able to come to terms with the oval corporation for a contract.

With bargaining repeatedly stalling, Taylor organized a strategic strike vote—ahead of an international tournament—and won 100 per cent support from members.

“It was the only clout I had at the time, and let me tell you that was the shortest picket line in history since I’ve been in the labour movement,” said Taylor.

The Yonex Canada Open is attracting some of the world’s best badminton players from 35 countries, making it one of the largest international tournaments since the 2010 Winter Games.

Workers will vote on the contract Monday, July 16. Taylor said she expects workers to accept the three-year deal, which takes them through to June 2015.

The threat of contracting out was a key issue, said Taylor, who noted the contract offers job security, improved sick time and better wages.

Workers didn’t, however, achieve their goal of wage parity with city employees.

Taylor declined to say what wage gains were made, only noting the oval corporation had a limit of six per cent over three years.

Author nets accolades for self-help book Calvin Helin began helping aboriginal people, but broader life purpose has since crystalized

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Calvin Helin is author of two books aimed at providing people with the knowledge to break free from dependency.

Some warned Calvin Helin he was wading into dangerous waters by putting his ideas to paper. Publishers, in turn, scoffed.

But his ideas would hit the mark.

Helin borrowed $100,000 to publish his first book Dances With Dependency, a volume with strategies to eliminate welfare dependency and help eradicate poverty among First Nations. It is now a seven-time bestseller and continues to be one of the most influential books on indigenous issues.

He wrote about corruption, the need for electoral reform and the desire for change. Aboriginal people, he said, were made purposely

dependent on the federal government as a means of controlling them, their land and resources.

The bold ideas kept flowing in his second book, The Economic Dependency Trap: Breaking Free to Self-Reliance, which recently earned a gold medal at the 16th annual Independent Publisher Book Awards.

“I started off by writing my first book just as an effort to help out aboriginal people,” said Helin. “My life purpose has since crystalized— to help people help themselves by providing the knowledge for them to do so through my books.”

Helin is a 30-year Richmond resident and member of the Tsimshian Nation. He accepted his Independent Publisher Book Award, known as an IPPY, on June 4 in New York City. It’s the fourth award his book has garnered.

“At the end of the day, it is nice to receive awards of acknowledgement, but it is most gratifying to know that my books are making a difference in the lives of people who read them.”

Helin, also a lawyer and an entrepreneur, reveals in The Economic Dependency Trap the strings attached to handouts at every level, from households to the global economy. He presents a plan for transforming economic dependency into healthier out-

comes throughout society, from minority groups to middle-class populations.

His newest book, The Empowerment Mindset: Success Through Self-Knowledge, is due out in July as an ebook. The volume aims to take readers on a journey of selfdiscovery so they can transform unfulfilled lives to ones that reflect happiness, success and empowerment.

Advocates hopping mad over rabbit treatment City says rabbit holes in Minoru Park pose tripping hazard

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Fur is flying in Minoru Park where a recent move by parks workers to fill in rabbit holes has raised the ire of a local rabbit advocacy group.

Bandaids for Bunnies accused the city Tuesday of “burying rabbits alive” by packing soil into holes around an equipment shed at Latrace Field.

“One can only imagine how many dead rabbits are under the shed given their decreasing numbers as noticed by local residents,” said the group on its Facebook page.

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said city crews routinely fill holes in the park because they pose a “significant tripping hazard.”

“We have a legal responsibility to address that in the interest of public safety, and this particular area gets a lot of use in the summer,” said Townsend, adding holes around the shed were filled with loose soil, which wildlife is able to burrow through.

But rabbit rescuers were angered by the move and twice dug new holes for the rabbits—once removing wooden boards that covered the fresh dirt.

Townsend said the city doesn’t know who placed the boards on the rabbit real estate, but suggested someone might have done so

to assist in the moving of equipment stored in the shed. Anyone who digs new holes would be damaging public property and would potentially be liable if anything happened as a result, he added.

“Our policy is not to try and interfere with the rabbits. We just let them live out their natural life cycle.”

In 2010, Richmond banned the retail sale of rabbits in an effort to control large populations of the abandoned pets—many of whom make homes in Minoru Park, Richmond Nature Park and the Richmond Auto Mall property.

“This issue is basically caused by people abandoning rabbits in our parks and open spaces, so everybody needs to be responsible in the care of rabbits, and not just abandoning them when they decide they no longer want them as a pet,” said Townsend.

Cindy Howard, who runs Richmond-based Bandaids for Bunnies with Krystal Grimm, doesn’t agree with the city’s practice of covering holes, which she said can lead to the death of the animals.

“We were out there (Minoru Park) this morning and one of the rabbits is pregnant and is going to have babies at any moment. She will probably go under that shed, because that’s part of her home, and have the babies there,” said Howard. “Newborn babies cannot dig themselves out.”

Bandaids for Bunnies formed last fall, and currently has 47 rabbits in its care. The group offers the animals up for adoption through its website, bandaidsforbunnies.com.

Howard wants the city to create a sanctuary for the rabbits to live safely—as Delta has done—and crack down on so-called “dumpers.”

Cindy Howard photo Rabbits peek out from under a shed at Minoru Park earlier this year. The holes have since been filed by city parks workers.

“They need to start taking a stand with the people that cause the problem,” she said.

“We’ve literally had people call and say, ‘I just saw someone open their car door and let out two rabbits.’”

In Delta, rabbits in the municipality’s civic precinct have been captured, sterilized and released in an island park across town. On Vancouver Island, University of Victoria

recently relocated more than 900 rabbits to sanctuaries and declared its campus rabbit free in spring 2011.

Richmond City Hall is in the midst of developing an urban wildlife strategy. Due sometime this year, the strategy is expected to offer council recommendations on how to deal with out-of-control wildlife populations.

Cops dropped ball in failing to trap lobster fraudster Rash of phone frauds targets Atlantic seafood vendors

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond Mounties had a chance to catch a lobster-loving local fraudster red-handed, but in dropping the ball, may have enabled the culprit to victimize several other Atlantic Canada seafood vendors.

In May, Ken MacKay, a salesman with Yarmouth Bar Fisheries Ltd., contacted Richmond RCMP after he learned his firm had been twice targeted by a fraudster.

MacKay told The Richmond Review that the fraudster was about to

pick up a 200-pound shipment of lobster at a local Fed-Ex cargo facility at Vancouver International Airport.

So he called the Richmond RCMP to let them know, only to be bogged down with red tape that ended up proving costly for him and possibly three other seafood vendors.

“They had the chance to catch the guy right there on the spot,” a frustrated MacKay said. “They basically said, ‘Well no, we can’t do anything about it.’”

A frustrated MacKay said it was in May when his firm had been called for a first shipment of lobster to a Lower Mainland buyer, and after ensuring the credit card was valid, processed and shipped out the $1,800 order.

Then on May 16, the

same customer called again to say the first shipment was great, and wanted to make another order for a weekend party he was planning.

After processing that second shipment, worth $2,400, MacKay got a call from a North Vancouver man, the rightful owner of the credit card, who said he’d never ordered the lobster.

MacKay took immediate action, but by this time, the lobster was already in transit, scheduled to arrive at Vancouver International Airport.

So he called Fed Ex to ensure they didn’t release the lobster, but knew that the fraudster was unaware he’d been found out.

MacKay then called the Richmond RCMP, only to be told that he first needed to file a statement with

his local Mounties in Nova Scotia. This process took hours, and by that point, the fraudster arrived at the Fed Ex facility on Sea Island. But when he was told the lobster wasn’t going to be released to him, he simply turned around and left, no questions asked.

But the story doesn’t end there.

Subsequent to MacKay’s firm being hit, they heard on a Yarmouth radio station last week that other seafood vendors had been struck too, and that Mounties out east were cautioning the public.

MacKay and his colleagues are now wondering whether the guy who targeted them was also responsible for these other thefts.

RCMP Sgt. Duncan

Pound said the federal commercial crime section is in contact with the Richmond detachment about the lobster fraud.

He said last week’s press release was the result of a commercial crime unit

federal commercial crime section warned Atlantic Canada seafood vendors about a “rash of credit card fraud that starts over the phone.”

Meanwhile, Richmond RCMP are apologetic. Sgt.

investigation that was focusing in on a “target group of suspects.”

Those investigators were aware a group of criminals was making phone calls to the Maritimes for seasonal products.

He said merchants taking phone orders should take down the customer’s name and billing address along with the credit card number and security code, and then call the bank to ensure these match bank records for that credit card.

Last week, the RCMP’s

Cam Kowalski said a local police cruiser should have been dispatched to the airport when the call first came in.

“We should have sent a unit to meet with the individual picking up the shipment, identified him, arrested him if grounds exist, or detained him for investigation,” Kowalski said.

Kowalski said local investigators now have extra incentive to catch the fraudster, and are digging up surveillance footage from Fed Ex. “It’s not like, oops, we

missed our opportunity, and now there’s nothing we can do. We’re backtracking, picking up the pieces, looking for information to further our investigation.”

Kowalski said credit card fraud is a worldwide problem worth billions of dollars, and it’s likely that for the people behind this particular fraud, it’s not their first, last or only such criminal endeavour.

Steps have also been taken at the local detachment to ensure something like this doesn’t slip through the cracks again.

Meanwhile, though the second lobster shipment was eventually sold to another customer, Yarmouth Bar Fisheries owner Wade Nickerson is still out thousands of dollars from the first shipment.

“They just dropped the ball,” Nickerson said of the Richmond Mounties’ failure to catch the fraudster. “At least it would have kept it from snowballing.”

Pricey purses stolen in home invasion Richmond RCMP looking for four men involved in attack of 50-year-old woman A woman was tied up, assaulted and robbed of seven pricey Hermes purses in a midday home invasion in Richmond, police said Thursday.

At around 1:30 p.m. two men knocked on the door of a home in the 7000 block of Petts Road. A 50-year-old woman answered and let the men into her home after they told her a bogus story about an insurance claim involving her vehicle.

Richmond RCMP say the two men—one described as Asian, the other as South Asian— grabbed the woman, tied her up and as-

saulted her. Two other men, one Asian and the other of unknown ethnicity, then entered the home.

The foursome then stole numerous suitcases and bags filled with the victim’s property and high-end handbags, including seven Hermes purses with values of $5,000 to $15,000, police say.

The woman freed herself and called police.

Officers arrived at 3 p.m. to find the woman in the home with minor injuries to her face.

Although police released the information and surveillance photos of the suspects Thurs-

day, the incident took place Tuesday, June 26.

Investigators believe the men range in age from 20 to 25, and say they’re linked to a silver or charcoal-grey SUV, possibly a Ford Explorer.

Police are asking anyone who is offered to buy a Hermes bag, or otherwise sees one for sale by an individual, to contact police. Anyone else with information about the incident or the suspects is asked to call police at 604-278-1212 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Frmo Page 1 Chung said shark finning provides jobs for people in developing countries and balances the food system. As a top predator, if sharks are left unchecked, they’ll consume more and more fish, he said.

“If they’re not being hunted or they’re not being killed, a lot of things would change too. The way I see it, the Chinese people have become part of the food chain that keeps things in check.”

Toronto’s ban, on the possession, sale and consumption of shark fin products, goes into effect Sept. 1, imposing fines of $5,000 for a first offence, $25,000 for a second conviction and $100,000 for subsequent ones. Six other Ontario cities have also agreed to bans.

In Metro Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody and the City of North Vancouver have also banned possession and use of shark fins.

Activist Anthony Marr presented his case for a ban to Richmond council Monday. He hopes to also convince Burnaby and Vancouver to adopt a ban.

“It’s cruel. The analogy is if some aliens abducted you, cut off your four limbs and dumped you back onto the road. That’s what we do to the sharks, by cutting off their fins and dumping them back into the water,” Marr told The Review.

According to ocean conservation group Oceana, 50 of the 307 shark species in the world are vulnerable or endangered, and Marr said it’s impossible for shark fin consumers to know what poached products they’re buying.

Civilian oversight agency to open in September B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office will open Sept.

10, providing a civilian-led unit to probe deaths and incidents of serious harm involving police officers.

The opening comes several months late and two years after the province first committed to creating a police investigations agency headed by civilians, so police forces no longer investigate each other.

“The goal of the IIO is to conduct fair, competent, bias-free investigations in a timely fashion and publicly report on the results of our investigations,” said IIO chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal.

Twenty-six investigators have been hired so far and the unit is to have a total of 60 investigators, management and other administrative staff once fully operational. Investigators must not have served as police officers in B.C. within the last five years, and police are compelled by law to report incidents under its mandate.

Transit pass forgers busted Two Vancouver men are accused of making and selling counterfeit transit passes.

Transit Police say James Stuart Richardson, 47, and Daniel Blair, 65, are charged with forgery and related offences after a six-month investigation into the circulation of high-quality made-to-order fake transit passes that are normally issued by the Ministry of Social Services and Housing.

Officers conducted a sting that led to the arrest of two suspects and the seizure of computers, laminators, printers and several dozen passes ready to sell.

It’s estimated the forged passes denied the transit system more than $200,000 in lost revenue.

Overtime ban begins at ICBC Unionized ICBC workers have begun an overtime ban as part of job action aimed at spurring the auto insurer to give ground in contract talks. The ban began July 6 and follows a Labour Relations Board ruling that found ICBC was bargaining in bad faith by refusing to discuss wages and benefits until a provincial review of the corporation concludes.

hortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original self-published quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine.

The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were

increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions.

The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.”

With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends.

“Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin

with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake.

Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled gold-laden creek “probably does not exist.”

A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines, and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-seeking Americans. They overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Starreporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites.

Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.”

Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three.

But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain.

“He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and finished a distant second.”

Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history.

Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert.

I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade.

Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine.

On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

letters High density won’t work in Hamilton

Time to patch up potholes

Editor: Re: Hamilton area plan update.

The idea of high density in Hamilton does not work.

What was done in Steveston works because Steveston is an established village with shops, restaurants, pool, high school, sport fields, large community centre, Garry Point, fishing docks, location on the river and more than one road in and out.

Hamilton has one elementary school, which is full, one restaurant, a small fitness centre and one church. Hamilton is a hamlet, and it has nothing to offer high density or medium density.

Perhaps the proponent could rethink his approach and make his plans into more of a park-like setting around the trees, a few condos, a village street with shops with living space above, or keep the shopping centre we have now and get some tenants into the empty shops.

What impact study has been done as to how Richmond

can cope with another 12,000 residents from Hamilton? Can the school system, ice rinks, swimming pools, sport fields, health care, restaurants, fitness centres, library, shopping centres handle the increase?

With Hamilton having nothing to offer its residents the traffic back and forth into Richmond will be a nightmare getting the kids to their entire practices, nice carbon footprint you are adding. What about the youth of Hamilton nothing was addressed in the plan, where are they to hang out?

I hope you aren’t planning on Queensborough to handle Richmond’s mistakes for inadequate planning.

Does it hurt to say hello?

Editor: Would it hurt to nod, smile, or say hello?

We now can enjoy sunshine and gentle evening walks throughout Richmond parks, dykes, and neighbourhood sidewalks. With no need for protective umbrellas or downward stares to avoid the drips and puddles, we have perfect opportunities to connect with “strangers” along our way.

We may wave briefly, our eyes meeting. We may nod, smile, greet, or share a comment.

Or, we remain absorbed by our electronics, engaged in a private conversation; avert our gaze, or mutely stare at nothing in particular.

Recent and unprecedented investment, growth, and immigration continue to impact every level of the Richmond community, including connections between strangers. The insularity of personal electronic devices, the chill of perceived “stranger danger,” and increased daily stressors can further weaken our fabric of social cohesion.

Regardless of the reasons, I am tired and fed-up with anti-social walkers. I feel sad, frustrated, angry, and worried for our community.

This is not an issue of superficial politeness. Given the reality that we are briefly sharing the same path, why not offer at a civil, if not friendly, salutation? Heck, cyclists and joggers can join in as well!

As the Vancouver Foundation’s recent research emphasizes, when we feel we belong in our community and trust our neighbours, we feel safer and happier. So do our kids. We need each other.

Would it hurt to smile, nod, or greet a passing stranger? Maybe a little. Would it help? Maybe a lot.

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A former ďŹ nance manager of a Richmond ďŹ rm has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for defrauding his former employer of more than $100,000.

Karim Rajabally Manji was sentenced in North Vancouver provincial court last May after pleading gulity to one count of fraud over $5,000 and one count of theft over $5,000.

North Vancouver provincial court judge Carol Baird Ellan sentenced Manji to one year in prison for fraud, and 18 months in jail for theft over $5,000.

Manji was hired in September 2004 to be the manager of administration and avionics at PaciďŹ c Avionics and Instruments in Richmond. He was solely responsible for the ďŹ nancial management of the ďŹ rm.

Within six weeks of being hired, he cut himself an unauthorized cheque for $2,500, according to the judgement, and over a period of two years, used company funds to buy jewelry, used a company credit card for personal purposes, overpaid himself, and wrote himself unauthorized corporate cheques. “The total defalcation to which he admits exceeds $100,000,� Baird Ellan wrote. “Some of the funds were used to pay for metal detection equipment Mr. Manji required for a security position he had for the visit of the Aga Khan.�

After initially making excuses, Manji ultimately gave a statement, and then promised to repay what he took, though nothing had been repaid at the point of the May 14 judgement.

Manji’s offences came to light in 2006, at which point he was ďŹ red. At that point, it was Manji’s ďŹ rst criminal offence.

But his second offence came in 2007 in North Vancouver, a case that came to court sooner. At the time, his employer was High Output Sports. He plead guilty to fraud and was Look for these flyers in the richmond

sentenced to a nine-month conditional sentence and he was ordered to pay $22,789.92 in restitution.

His third employee-related fraud came in 2007, in Vancouver. He was sentenced to six months in jail and was ordered to pay $29,000 in restitution, which still hasn’t been paid.

His fourth offence occurred in 2008, and involved Aqua Guard Spill Response in North Vancouver, and involved a fraud worth between $70,000 and $80,000. He was hired from a Craigslist ad. According to Aqua Guard, the fraud forced the company to lay off ďŹ ve full-time employees, with the remaining staff taking a 10-per-cent salary cut.

Manji’s criminal actions began in 2004, at a “time when Mr. Manji was experiencing ďŹ nancial stress. He and his wife had lost their life savings in the business they had started and had creditors demanding to be paid...It seems the rational for the second (offence) was similar to the ďŹ rst and there was a snowball effect,â€? the judgement states.

Metro’s high congestion ranking called deceptive Region rated worst on continent after Los Angeles

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver is Canada’s most congested urban area and second only to Los Angeles in North America, according to a report.

The rankings by GPS maker TomTom – based on data gleaned from the traffic movements of its subscribers – found Vancouver drivers take on average 30 per cent longer to make a trip at congested times than when roads and highways are free flowing.

Los Angeles was worst among North American cities – with a 33 per cent delay – while Miami, Seattle, Tampa and San Francisco ranked third through sixth at around 25 per cent. Toronto was ninth at 22 per cent.

For Vancouver, TomTom estimated congestion translates into a 34-minute delay for each hour driven in peak periods, adding up to 83 hours over the course of a year for motorists with a 30-minute daily commute.

But TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said the findings are deceptive.

Metro Vancouver has fewer highways and therefore lower overall traffic speeds than Los Angeles, he said.

That means a 10 kilometre per hour reduction in the speed of

For Vancouver, TomTom estimated congestion translates into a 34-minute delay for each hour driven in peak periods.

moving traffic is a bigger proportional delay here compared to U.S. cities with more freeways, giving Vancouver a worse ranking.

“We made the choice not to punch freeways through the centre of Vancouver and that’s made the region more livable,” Snider said.

He said TransLink is working to expand transit – as well as cycling and pedestrian infrastructure – to offer alternatives to car use in more of the region.

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the rankings more accurately reflect the plight of drivers in areas where cars dominate, but not where transit is frequent and more viable.

“Car congestion is not a measure of mobility,” he said. “So long as you have choices, you don’t have to be hung out in traffic.”

Price said the region will soon see what a huge increase in highway

capacity achieves when the new Port Mann Bridge, expanded Highway 1 and South Fraser Perimeter Road all open.

Highway congestion should be cut, at least initially, he said, although he forecasts it will spur more car use and new construction geared for drivers rather than transit, potentially undermining efforts to expand transit South of the Fraser.

He also predicts the tolls on the Port Mann will increase congestion on arteries within Surrey as some drivers seek to avoid paying and more South of Fraser drivers try to stay on their side of the river.

Price said the City of Vancouver’s decision to shun freeways has paid off because large numbers of car trips have shifted to transit, walking or cycling.

“We’re down to 1965 levels of traffic coming in and out of downtown Vancouver.”

TaxiSaver subsidies won’t be scrapped, TransLink says Officials didn't understand impact until user backlash

by Jeff Nagel Black Press TransLink has abandoned its plan to phase out subsidized cab rides for elderly and disabled HandyDart clients, saying it failed to fully grasp the need for the TaxiSaver program.

Eliminating the $50 per month subsidy for halfprice taxi fares would have saved $1.1 million that TransLink intended to reinvest into the oversubscribed HandyDart custom-transit service to provide more rides that way.

But the transportation authority was besieged with protests from angry users, who complained they could at least use TaxiSavers to get a taxi on short notice when HandyDart is unavailable or booked up.

In other cases they could get to an appointment with HandyDart but there was no guarantee of a return ride.

TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler said the authority has learned from its error.

“The TaxiSaver program is reinstated in its entirety,” she said Wednesday.

“I regret any angst we caused for people who were fearful their program would not continue and they would not have the access they did.”

Olewiler said the goal of the change was always to improve service.

“It wasn’t a cost saving,” she said. “We actually thought, believe it or not, we were going to make

A Metro Vancouver transit user on a scooter gets a lift up into a HandyDart vehicle.

By the numbers •HandyCard users who qualify for TaxiSavers: 32,000 •TaxiSaver purchasers in last year: 7,200 •Portion of conventional bus fleet that’s accessible: 100 % •Share of bus stops that are accessible: 63.4 % the system better.”

TransLink had consulted through its Access Transit Users Advisory Committee, but Olewiler said they later realized how some clients use TaxiSavers in combination with HandyDart and how the taxi coupons provide much more convenience and flexibility.

“We didn’t understand the integral nature of TaxiSavers to the whole program,” Olewiler said. “We just didn’t have that depth of understanding.”

The planned cancellation of TaxiSavers – sales were to stop this summer and remaining ones were to expire next June – was put on hold pending more consultation by TransLink in May. More than 18,000 HandyDart trip requests were denied last year because the service was oversubscribed and that problem has worsened this year.

TransLink also wanted to crack down on unauthorized use of TaxiSavers because the coupons are often sold on the black market to people who don’t qualify for the program.

“As with the U-Pass, we’ve seen people selling TaxiSavers on Craigslist,” Olewiler said. “There is fraud.”

TransLink is exploring ways to bolster identification requirements as part of the rollout of TransLink’s Compass smart card.

The decision comes as TransLink is in the midst of a search for savings on multiple fronts to free up money to satisfy its independent commissioner as well as a provincial audit.

CEO Ian Jarvis said that process is “consuming” the organization this summer.

He pledged a financial plan set for release

in September will shed more light on what costcutting measures may be pursued.

“There are risks that come with these opportunities,” Jarvis said, adding TransLink needs to assess the potential impact on reliability and quality of transit services.

TransLink must carve about $50 million a year out of its budget to offset a denied fare increase and to make up for area mayors’ vote to rescind a property tax increase.

Promised express bus routes from Langley to Burnaby over the new Port Mann Bridge and down King George Boulevard in Surrey are on hold as a result.

Mayors Council vicechair Peter Fassbender said he hopes TransLink consults carefully as it decides where to cut.

“They’re looking at the rationalization of various service levels, unproductive routes, issues on maintenance and a whole host of complex and far-reaching things,” he said.

Fassbender said those decisions need to consider communities’ needs, not just “business cases and numbers.”

Siberian smoke fades, U.S. fires may add to haze The phenomenon of smoke wafting here from wildfires in Siberia is no longer a significant factor behind hazy skies over the Lower Mainland, according to Metro Vancouver officials.

Russian fires were blamed Monday by Metro air quality officials for a near-doubling in fine particulate levels over the past weekend.

“The situation is now changing,” Metro Vancouver spokesman Glenn Bohn said Wednesday.

“The influence of smoke from the Asian fires has mostly ended. The concentrations of fine particulates have decreased.”

But he said fires burning in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California could send more smoke into B.C. in the days ahead, depending

on the weather.

So far Metro officials are watching conditions and haven’t yet issued any air quality advisories.

Air quality experts recently unveiled a new website that rates air visibility at key sites around the Lower Mainland using a network of automated cameras.

The ratings and images can be viewed at clearairbc.ca.

Stinky food waste composters face Metro odour fees Region plans to charge plant operators based on smell

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Industries such as organic composting plants that stink up a local neighbourhood may soon pay fees to Metro Vancouver based on the severity of the odours they emit.

The fees are being proposed on a polluter-pay basis to recover what Metro says is hundreds of thousands of dollars a year expended in staff time responding to industrial odour complaints.

“What we’re saying is you can emit the odour but we’re going to charge you based on what impact that odour has,” said Ray Robb, Metro’s air quality division manager.

The details are set out in a Metro discussion paper that proposes to categorize different emitters based on high, medium and low risk of posing an odour problem.

Officials will consider how much odour is emitted, as well as how well it is dispersed and the proximity to people it might offend.

“If you put a stinky thing in the middle of nowhere and put it up

ARTfestival

a tall stack and nobody smells it, who cares?” Robb said.

“Put that same emission source in the middle of a community – maybe at the bottom of a hill where it drifts up a hillside and ruins everybody’s weekend – that’s a substantially different matter.”

Industries deemed high risk – which include compost operations with more than 10,000 cubic metres of compostibles on site and animal renderers – would be charged $5 per year for every person they expose to a specified level of smell.

Metro estimates the fees might add up to $110,000 per year for the worst offenders.

Robb said about six operators might now be in the high-risk category, but added more new sources are coming on stream as cities divert more organic waste from landfills.

Moderate risk facilities would pay a $500 registration fee and have to develop an odour management plan, which could be subject to review and higher fees if Metro decides the odour is offending the community. Low-risk sites face no fees or requirements.

Robb said it’s an important issue to address now because Metro’s decision to mandate curbside organic waste pickup means huge volumes of food waste will be composted at facilities that will be built in the region.

the existing operator taking some food waste already but more are expected to spring up.

All organics will be banned from the region’s dumps and transfer stations by 2015 and residents will be required to put all their food waste in a green bin instead of the garbage.

Metro’s discussion paper says smelly emissions can interfere with sleep, add to stress and anxiety, disrupt family barbecues and cause health impacts ranging from nausea and watery eyes to headaches and sore throats.

It’s not the first time air quality regulators have tried to slap fees on stinky industries.

But a previous effort by Metro to actually regulate or outlaw extreme odours was struck down by an environmental appeal board.

This time, the region is just trying to recover costs through fees, rather than trying to enforce limits.

Robb said the odour response costs are being unfairly borne either by other air polluters through fees on their contaminants or else by taxpayers.

The region is seeking feedback on the plan and the Metro board would have to vote on any bylaw imposing the fees.

Metro’s own sewage treatment plants would be exempt from the odour fees.

Robb said they aren’t subject to Metro’s air quality rules because they are regulated separately by the province.

Local golfer runs to pick up his game on the Canadian PGA Tour

Christine Blanchette

I

t’s no secret to many professional golfers that incorporating cardio workouts into your lifestyle can improve your game.

A perfect example is Tiger Woods, arguably the most buffed golfer out there.

The link between running and golf – both sports require discipline and skill to achieve winning results – is the individuality of going alone against the elements and the competition.

Another example of a golfer who reaps the benefits of running is Ca-

mostly of running and biking. I have found that strong legs are extremely important for my game.

To be able to stay strong for a full round of golf I run or bike about four to five times a week…usually two days of each. Not much weight training, I do a lot of core stuff with medicine balls and cable machines.”

A Runner’s Mind

nadian PGA Tour member, Nathan Leonhardt. At 27, he regularly combines biking and running into his workouts. A native of Richmond, now residing in Glendale, Arizona, Leonhardt revealed his fitness strategies in a recent e-mail interview.

Having only picked up golf as a 16-year-old, he is a rising talent in a world saturated with competition. A two-time athlete of the year at North Miami’s Johnson and Wales University, his last collegiate event was a victory at the NAIA Classic. He earned his Canadian tour card last year at qualifying school in California, making his tour debut at the Mexican PGA Championship in Mazatlan.

“I used to be a Sunday golfer (who got tired) on the back nine,” Leonhardt began. “I’ve been one of them. That’s what showed me how important fitness and conditioning really is— especially when tournament rounds take about five hours!”

He continues, “My fitness regime consists

players in the world are all physically fit and work at fitness on a daily basis.

Tiger definitely works on his fitness as much as, or more than anyone. Being fit helps a lot competing on a weekly basis.”

Leonhardt obviously is excited and proud to be on the Canadian Tour, saying, “It’s still very new to me, even though it’s my second year, because I haven’t been playing golf for that long, so to be playing on our nation’s professional stage is pretty cool.”

On the game as it evolves, he notes, “The shoes are as comfortable

as running shoes. People think they’re stiff and uncomfortable but companies have designed golf shoes (much better)...

“One of the biggest changes I’ve seen is the ability to alter club heads.

If we are hitting our drivers too far right, we can now use a tool to help straighten it out. I think that’s pretty amazing.”

Leonhardt points out, “I like to take certain things from different PGA Tour players and incorporate what they do well into my own game. I have always been a fan of Steve Stricker. He was ready to quit the game awhile ago and

now he is one of the best players in the world… just shows that commitment and hard work can really pay off.”

“I will be trying to qualify for the Web.com Tour (formerly the Nationwide Tour) and the PGA Tour this October,” Leonhardt said, adding, “I feel that with the progress I’ve been making that if not this year than next year is my goal to make it to the Web.com Tour.”

Leonhardt explains: “If you don’t play amazing, you don’t make any money. So while the best players in the world have these glamorous lives,

those trying to make it have to go through a long tough process and only the hardest workers and most committed players will persevere. Having people support you is a huge help. It’s very tough and expensive out here, so sponsors for money and mental support from friends and family is huge.”

hat do you get when you put together a savvy businesswoman, an ambitious “woman of the world,” a naive gentleman with questionable intentions, and lots of strawberries?

You get a murder to solve while you enjoy dinner at the Steveston Seafood House.

The three-hour event combines a four-course meal with servings of suspense and suspicion. Dinner guests will have the opportunity to find clues and guess the identity of the culprit in an interactive murder-mystery show, set in a strawberry distribution group called Berry Succulent.

The genius behind the show is writer and director Trevor Jenkins, who has spent a lifetime creating comedic murder-mystery plays for his company, Grim Reaper Mysteries. He says that its success and popularity is due to the natural attraction between people and mystery. “It’s an ancient art, since the days of Stephen Sondheim.”

The inclusion of the audience in interactive mystery-solving adds another element of allure into the show.

in which people crave to get involved. “It’s usually the seniors who really get involved, but everyone participates somehow. They participate as soon as they step in the door.”

Jenkins admits that the active participation of the guests sometimes results in adults who may not act like adults anymore. He

recounts having once observed a woman and her husband in the audience. “The woman was saying she had a clue in her bra. She tried to take her shirt off in front of the whole audience. We stopped it, of course, but this is just an example of what happens when you get a group of people together in a room for

three hours and close the door.”

Upcoming showings of the murder-mystery spectacle are on July 24, July 31, and August 28.

Nass, Roadrunners close in on titles A pair of titles are on the line when the Richmond Roadrunners take to the floor tonight in Ladner.

Both the Roadunners and their star offensive player Cody Nass hope to secure B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League honours this weekend, with strong performances in the team’s final game of the regular season Friday at the Ladner Leisure Centre. Game time is

8:30 p.m.

Nass is currently tied for the individual scoring lead with Victoria Shamrock Jake Cullen, each with 85 points, while as a team the Roadrunners are the driver’s seat for regular-season bragging rights as a victory over the host Delta Islanders can secure Richmond the league pennant.

But while Delta may have only two wins in 15 games, Richmond (14-

CODY NASS

3) would be wise not to take their hosts lightly.

A loss, coupled with victories by Coquitlam (also 14-3) and or Victoria (13-4) could see the Roadrunners finish as

low as third place.

The Roadrunners need only look to their final home game Tuesday for inspiration. Despite a 14-7 victory over the visiting Burnaby Lakers, Richmond had trouble with the eighth-place team which has only four wins in 16 games.

Burnaby never gave up, though each time they rallied Richmond pulled away.

Nass scored six goals and added two assists

against Burnaby. He now has 47 goals on the season. Spencer Bromley added four goals and three assists, while Joshn Mclaughlin, Alex Morghese, Reed Leclaire and Ryan Vogrig rounded out the Richmond scoring. Griffen Leclaire, Brad Hoffman and Jordan Gilles combined for seven assists while Ryland Hood stood tall in net making 35 saves.

Don Fennell photo Coach Charmaine Lum discusses strategy with Richmond Islander Jillian Marshall. The Islanders 98A are hosting the provincial under-14 girls’ softball championships this weekend at London Park.

Old Isles passing lessons on to next generation

by Don Fennell Sports Editor It is mid August, 2004 and Charmaine Lum has just earned most valuable player honours.

With her steady and sometimes spectacular play at third base and at the plate, the Richmond Islanders have wrapped up the Western Canadian Junior B ladies’ softball championship in Strathmore, Alta.

Fast forward to mid July 2012 and Lum is back with the Islanders, only now playing the role of a mentor.

With another former Islander great Briana Adams (one of the top pitchers in the Richmond Girls’ Softball Association during the 2000s), Lum is co-coach of the Richmond Islanders 98A which this weekend is hosting the provincial under-14 (formerly known as Peewee) championships at London Park. “Jessica Mack (yet another former Islander standout from the last decade) is also a huge part of our coaching staff,â€? says Lum. “She played college ball (in St. Louis) as an outďŹ elder.â€?

While they’re able to draw on their own playing experiences, all three are also teachers—a bonus when it comes to effectively communicating with their young players. “We had 12 players at the end of last season

(as a ďŹ rst-year Peewee team) and a few chose to pick basketball instead,â€?

Lum says. “We respected

that. They were transitioning into Grade 8 and we didn’t know what the commitment would be

like (for this season). But we’ve worked it out.�

Multi-sport athletes dominate host Richmond lineup From Page 21 Giving the other 13 teams that will participate in the provincial championships their due, Lum believes the Islanders are more than capable of challenging for the title. But she cautions several factors will ultimately decide the order of finish.

“I hope we can make it into the playoffs, but that also depends on the draw. There are some very strong teams and in softball anything can happen. As long as the girls play hard, it doesn’t matter (where they place).”

The Islanders are made up a talented group of local athletes, most of whom are equally gifted in other sports such as basketball and volleyball. But for this weekend, at least, their attention is focused on softball.

Tia Tsang is described

by Lum as a “phenomenal athlete” who just may be the best basketball player in her age group. Tall and strong, Tsang brings a great attitude to the ball park and a powerful swing to the plate. When she’s not pitching, she’s usually playing shortstop.

Though she was initially apprehensive about becoming a catcher, Claire Siquiera is settling into the role nicely and also contributes offensively hitting third or fourth in the batting order.

Natalie Cook is the Islanders’ back-up catcher and also pitches on occasion, but plays mostly in the outfield.

“She doesn’t look very traditional at the plate,” says Lum. “She’s small but very powerful and has become a great hitter.”

Kate Ferguson, whose older sister Claire plays on the Islanders’ Midget Division team, is the lead-off hitter and just completing her firstyear of Peewee. The Islanders have benefitted greatly from her athleticism, employing her skills at shortstop, first base and on the hill.

Second base is the domain of Jenessa Miyazaki, whose confidence is only beginning to emerge. A hard worker with great range, she’s also learning to hit from the left side of the plate and earlier in the week went 5 for 6 in a warm-

up game.

Jessica Jones is another of the multi-sport athletes. Bating fifth in the order, she boasts an impressive on-base percentage and last year was the team’s lead-off hitter.

“She’s so smart at-bat and such a good utility player because she’s such a good athlete,” Lum says. “You could play her anywhere, even catcher.”

As it is, she pitches and plays first and short.

With good quickness, Nicola Houle has become a fixture at third base and her alwayspositive nature is infectious, says Lum. Initially a catcher, Jillian Marshall has found a home with the Islanders at first base. Lum says she’s also fearless at the plate and clutch— the kind of player you can’t afford not to have on the field.

Affectionately called “Little ‘Em” by Lum, Emily Yee has gone from the bottom of the batting order to the top— or at least second in the order. And she’s not there simply to bunt.

“She’s capable of putting it over the fence,” Lum says of Yee, who thanks to the working closely with coach Mack is also taking ownership in the outfield.

Tiara Dhillon is another of the Islander outfielders who’ve benefitted from Mack’s instruction, and her hard work at batting practice is paying off too in her share of doubles and triples.

In addition to being a talented athlete, Jus-

Don Fennell photo The Richmond Islanders 98 have high hopes in this weekend’s provincial girls’ softball championships at London Park.

tine McCaskill brings a unique maturity and calmness to the Islanders, says Lum, while Carley Winter is “one of those kids you love on your team, reminding everyone they’re all still kids.” “And she’s been stepping it up on defence over the last couple of weeks too (in right field and at second base).”

With the championship draw not decided until late Thursday (following The Review’s press deadlines), a tournament schedule was unavailable. But the Islanders were slated to play their first game Friday morning at either

9 a.m. or 11 a.m. Play continues throughout the day, Saturday and Sunday, with the top four teams on each of the draw advancing to the playoffs. The tournament then becomes a double knockout, with the championship game scheduled for 5 p.m.

Sunday.

The remaining participating teams are: Victoria Devils 98 and 99, North Shore Stars 98, White Rock Renegades 98 and 99, Surrey Storm 98 and 99, Abbotsford Outlaws 98, Fraser Valley Fusion 99, Ridge Meadows Pride 99, Delta Heat 98 and 99 and Ladner Lightning.

Mariners scoop up B.C. Squirt softball title

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Seven years ago, Dawn Stadel began coaching a small group of first-year players in the Richmond Boys’ Fastball Association. Today, they’re provincial champions.

The Mariners (21-2-1)

capped the season undefeated in 18 games following a 13-10 victory over 100 Mile House in Sunday’s under-12 final at Fleetwood.

“We started as a house team and watched them develop year by year,” said Stadel, whose sons Mitchell and Anthony

Armstrong played integral roles in the Mariners’ success this season.

Mitchell, who also plays for Bill Merrell’s Peewee Mariners, dominated on the mound for the Richmond Squirt Division team along with fellow pitcher Brett Shubrook.

boys have really promising futures,” said Stadel, whose team mercied every one of its opponents at the provincials save for the final game. “There’s a lot of talent and dedication and a few of the boys live and breathe sports.”

Stadel is now looking forward to being able to put her feet up and simply be a spectator for the next several months. Mitchell will be playing for Zone 4

(Richmond-Delta) in the B.C. Summer Games next weekend (July 19-22) in Surrey. Then she’ll become a soccer mom again, with Mitchell and Anthony both returning to the “other” pitch.

The remaining Mariners are: Quinn Buter, Nathaniel Antiporda, Davey Purewal, Joshua Purewal, Jason Zhai, Brandon Woo, Douglas Cheung, Thomas Gorelik and Josh Mann.

Dunfee takes positive out of Olympic disappointment

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Evan Dunfee may have come up shy in his bid for a place on Canada’s Olympic team at this summer’s London Games, but the 21-year-old Richmond man isn’t wasting any time stewing over it.

Fresh off his victory

over good friend and training partner Inaki Gomez—who is going to compete in London— in the men’s 10 kilometre race walk at the Canadian Track and Field Championships two weeks ago in Calgary, Dunfee won the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Under-23

Championships last weekend in Guanajuato, Mexico in one hour, 26 minutes, 15.32 seconds over 20 kilometres. Now his sights are set on the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Junior Championships this weekend in Barcelona, Spain.

On his twitter account, Dunfee said, “Altitude calculator I found says my NACAC performance at 5,700 feet is equivalent to 1:22.13 at sea level. Don’t believe it. But...”

He needed to earlier turn in a time of 1:22.5 over 20 kilometres to qualify and be considered for the Canadian Olympic team.

After he realized his goal of competing at this year’s Olympic Games had been dashed, Dunfee told his parents he had

three immediate goals— to win nationals, medal at NACACs, and compete in a 50-kilometre race in Edmonton in September.

He’s already achieved two of the three.

Don Fennell photo Evan Dunfee hopes to make it three wins in a row this weekend in Spain.

Adera wins at international building awards

Ultima takes home a Gold Nugget Adera Development Corporation was a big winner at the Gold Nugget Award ceremony last month, winning seven awards for three of their developments.

The Gold Nugget Awards honour creative achievements in architectural design and land use planning for residential, commercial and industrial projects in the United States and internationally.

Adera was the recipient of a Grand Award for Multi-Family Housing Project – over 50/acre for their Ultima project at UBC. This is the fourth year in a row that Adera has taken home a Grand Award.

“This year’s Gold Nugget Awards

is Adera’s best yet,” says Adera President Norm Couttie. “To be recognized with six awards of merit is phenomenal at this high level of competition, but to win a Grand Award at (an) international building awards (ceremony) is thrilling.”

Adera also won Awards of Merit for Multi-Family Housing Project – over 50/acre for seven35, On the Boards MultiFamily Community for Sail, Green Sustainable Residential Community for seven35, Residential Project of the Year – Attached Product in an Urban Setting for seven 35, and International Residential Project – Attached 1.0 FAR and over for seven35 and Ultima.

‘This is really something out of the ordinary’

Solo David has views and architecture all in one

by Kerry Vital

Standing on your front steps outside Solo David by Mosaic Homes, you see the Lower Mainland stretching before you. Situated in a fantastic location on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, the views are simply out of this world.

“Architecture, views, value: it’s all there,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent.

“This is really something out of the ordinary.”

He’s not exaggerating. With large windows and Solo David’s northsouth facing location, you’ll be able to see beauty from every angle. Built in a classic Tudor style, with recessed entries, oversized eight-foot doors, wood trim and a stucco finish, the exteriors themselves are almost like works of art. Each home is three storeys. Two-car garages are at the rear with a walk-out entrance to the main floor and a fenced backyard.

“

These homes won’t last,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.”

With only 16 three-storey homes in the project, ranging from 3,516 to 3,522 square feet, Solo David is an exclusive community that is perfect for families of all sizes. With the ability to add a suite or an extra bedroom, it’s easy to make your home fit your lifestyle.

“It’s really flexible for families,” Trent says.

Inside, the homes are modern and contemporary, with laminate flooring and an open-plan layout. Buyers are able to choose between a threeand four-bedroom configuration, depending on your needs.

The lower level offers plenty of options for customization, whether you want to build a mortgage helper, a large entertainment space or a home office.

The possibilities are endless, Trent says.

Heading up the stairs, the main living area opens before you. With nine-foot ceilings, the sense of space is incredible. The kitchen is huge, with tons of storage space and elegant quartz countertops.

“This is a massive dining room,” says Trent. The show home features a table set for eight, but you could fit at least 10 people in the space. Beside it, the living area is complemented by the large bay window and a flex space that can be used as a library or extra living space.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is the

epitome of comfort, with its walkin closet and coffered ceilings that continue in the ensuite bathroom.

“This is a stunning bedroom,” Trent says. “There’s just nothing like it.”

One of the fabulous features here is the large window seat that affords you yet another beautiful view.

Those views will never disappear, Trent says, since Mosaic will also be building Riley, a collection of Tudor rowhomes which complements the streetscape and does not impede the scenery.

The other bedrooms on the upper floor are spacious and inviting. A flex space is featured up here as well, so you can decide to close it off to make a fourth bedroom, or leave it open to use as a playroom or office space.

The grand opening will take place on Saturday, July 14 at noon, and Mosaic is expecting a great turnout.

“These homes won’t last,” says Trent.

“They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.”

Homes start at $699,900. For more information, visit www.solohomes.ca or call 604-878-SOLO (7656). The Home Store is located at 3471 David Avenue.
