Steveston set for World Cup final Final weekend of month-long celebration in the village set for Buck and Ear

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

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

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

“I predict a win of course. It’s not going to be a 7-1, but it is going to be a win,” said Jens Hertha, owner of D Original, noting Germany’s drubbing of Brazil in a semi-final game Tuesday. “They’re the best team there. From what we’ve seen, nobody can beat them.”

Hertha grew up in Germany, and with his shop’s entirely unsubtle decor of black, red and yellow, there’s no mistaking his allegiance. Customers have gotten used to seeing the flag, along with his First Avenue sidewalk barbecue celebrations on game days.

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

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

And just as soccer is part of many nations’ community fabric, the event has helped build a sense of community in Steveston, said van der Tas. “It’s great walking through the village every single day, seeing people holding events, and all the support everyone is giving each other. It’s awesome.”

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

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

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

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

Speed Limits: Let the Motorists Decide?

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

O

Barrister & Solicitor

ver ten years ago, in the Spring of 2003, the BC Ministry of Transportation issued a Final Report on Posted Speed Limits and Speed Limit Setting Practices in British Columbia prepared by engineers at Wade-Trim, a Michigan-based professional engineering firm. The focus was on highway and not on municipal speed limits. The executive summary begins by setting out the following concepts, based on “years of experience and observation” fundamental to establishing realistic speed zones: “The majority of motorists drive at a speed they consider reasonable, and safe for road, traffic, and environmental conditions. Posted limits which are set higher or lower than dictated by roadway and traffic conditions are ignored by the majority of motorists.

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

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

A driver’s choice of speed can impose risks on other road users. Crash severity increases with increasing speeds because in a collision, the amount of kinetic energy dissipated is proportional to the square of the velocity.

Crashes, however, appear to depend less on speed and more on the variation in speeds. The likelihood of a crash occurring is significantly greater for motorists traveling at speed slower and faster than the mean speed of traffic.

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

Establishing realistic speed zones, the report says, is important because: 1. By conforming to the behaviour of the majority and providing a “clear reminder to violators,” realistic speed zones invite public compliance.

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

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

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

Ten years later, after many new highway upgrades, and much review, consultation, and debate, some of the above-noted report’s recommendations are reflected in speed limit increases announced on July 2nd by Todd Stone, BC’s Minister of Transportation, on approximately 1,300 kilometres of highway.

Most increases are limited to 10 km/hr and will be phased in over the summer on stretches of highways in the Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon, the Sea to Sky, Vancouver Island and the Southern Interior.

As discussion and speculative forecasting swirls around this announcement, Road Rules readers may find it helpful to keep in mind the fundamental concepts behind establishing realistic speed zones. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

What are MDI Implants?

The MDI System consists of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and the retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball, and the retaining fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force.

When seated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micromobility while withstanding natural lifting forces.

EDITORIAL: Hot fun in the summertime

I

t’s been a long time coming, but a spell of hot summer weather is with us, and will likely be for at least the next few days.

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

While the weather this spring

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

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

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

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

It’s a good time to plan on taking part in favourite summer activities over the next week.

There are no shortage of them — cycling, walking, running, farm tourism, boating, sunbathing, swimming and many, many others.

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

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

ast week I was cutting the heads off the clover with my poor excuse for a gas lawn mower when it hit me.

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

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

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

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

I got up to free my lawn mower off the fence that I borrowed from my brother three years ago.

He’s probably given up thinking I’d ever return it, but come Friday I was going to prove him wrong.

That’s if I could unwind this piece of junk off the fence.

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

Two days later

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

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

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

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

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

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

blackberry bush. Just like I don’t have to tell you what I saw in the open bathroom window. Just know that one of them needs a lot of cutting with a razor sharp blade.

There’ll be a lot of scratches, some blood and pain, and so will the other.

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

Wrapping itself around the thorny runners of the blackberry bush discourages anyone from trying to find a source to the morning glory to pull.

Gol--lly a perfect marriage made in hell. It can’t be stopped! The whole world is going to be taken over by the black morning glory berry bush. “I can see it all now, it’s hor-

rible, shut the curtains!”

I walk, no run to the hardware store wondering why I didn’t drive.

They’ll have some poison to do away with my little friend. I make it to the end of the driveway, winded, and change my mind. I will drive!

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Honey I’m going out to pick more berries! If i pick enough berries you make a pie for Pete and Judy?

Kind of a piece offering to make up for my critique of Judy. What’s that? Sure I’ll pick a pail for you too.

No problem.

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

Richmond Review ¡ Page 9

letters New development fits the neighbourhood Editor: In reference to the letter from Ralph and Edith Turner (“Another neighbourhood may soon be destroyed,� Letters July 4) regarding the property at 3471 Chatham St. in Steveston, we find their N.I.M.B.Y. attitude and wrong information towards this project very inappropriate.

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

After listening to the neighbours and various city committees, in order to transition into the existing neighbourhood, we have completely redesigned the building to “Heritage Style� by using the Sakamoto Report Facade Guidelines.

The old bank building was taken apart piece by piece so as to recycle as much of the material as possible, and save the Leonard Epp designed artistic concrete panels from the old G&F Bank to incorporate into the new building facade.

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

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

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

This proposed building will have all 10 residential units built to standards for wheelchair accessibility and meets all height requirements.

The only height variance we are asking council to approve is the height of the elevator shaft so as to have wheelchair access to the roof top deck.

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

letters What could Richmond achieve without the oval?

Editor: There is a cynical old saying, “Figures don’t lie, but liars figure!”

Not that I’m implying that any of our civic leading lights would

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

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

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

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

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

Add to this a tax exemption of $1,919,643 for the same time period. (But don’t worry, it’s only our tax money) Now again referring to the publicity statement, the proud boast is the acquisition of 5,000 members!

Wow, that amounts to an amazing 2.65 percent of Richmond’s population. Neat, huh?

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

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

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

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

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

Facebook doesn’t die ...

Social media sites, for some years now, have attracted millions of people. Some sites have become “storage” for a tremendous amount of personal information.

What happens when an account holder dies? Well, nothing automatic necessarily.

An online account can be an asset (for example, a business website). A Will can include gifts of “digital assets” or even a direction to close accounts (there is no legal prohibition of this).

But digital assets now warrant some consideration in Estate planning. One way to handle them at the planning stage is to prepare a written list of accounts/websites and passwords.

That list can be given to the Will maker’s personal representative for safekeeping, or can be attached to a Will. The information is important, and should not be ignored.

Visit our website (www.WillPowerLaw.com) or call us at (604)233-7001 to discuss your Wills, Estates and Seniors’ questions.

Looking for something fun to do this summer?

Editor: Re: “Start charging for ESL,” Letters, July 9.

Well said Ron Hyde! I have been saying this for the past few years and absolutely agree with you 200 per cent.

May I add, maybe there should be annual fees charged to attend public school and the government supplement funding, like the private schools, which currently gets more percentage in funding than public schools.

It would be of great interest as to what percentage of ESL students attending private schools.

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

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

Located along the Steveston Channel of the south arm of the Fraser River, the site is a collection of historic buildings, many built in the 1880s.

The buildings feature many historical displays.

21. Kite flying at Garry Point Park. On a warm, sunny summer day, it’s

hard to top the joy while the prevailing wind whips up from the picturesque Fraser River.

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

Newly re-opened, renovated and reimagined, this sun, music and fun-filled cafe boasts some seriously good and unique taste creations. Meatloaf is usually blasĂŠ... but not at The Southside. Theirs is layered in bacon, then smothered in a ketchup and brown sugar glaze. Quite awe-inspiring. Tasty sandwiches, homemade soups and probably the best banana bread this side of Alberta are part of The Southsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fare.

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

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

Staff Reporter

Y

esterday it was Calgary, tonight it’s Red Deer and tomorrow the tour heads to Revelstoke.

Jessica Stuart has been busy telling stories through music with her three-member band the Jessica Stuart Few, which glides into Richmond July 18 as part of the Music at the Cannery summer concert series.

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

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

They describe themselves as a folk jazz power trio, with roots in Toronto’s indie folk scene. Theirs is playful music that reflects Stuart’s love of guitar rock and soulful songwriting.

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

On July 18 at 6:30 p.m., the Few will play at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery in a music series sponsored by G&F Financial Group, Cannery Brewing Co. and Canada Berries, presented in collaboration with The Beat Merchant. Admission is by donation.

Then at 9:30 p.m. that Friday, the Few will be in Vancouver, performing at the Railway Club ($10 admission).

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

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

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

like the Jessica Stuart Few.” 3. What keeps you motivated while on tour? “Tour is fun! Lots of work obviously too, but the three of us love playing music together, so that keeps us going.”

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

5. A recent memorable concert?

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

6. A favourite meal to prepare?

“Soba (noodles) with tofu, ginger, green onion.”

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

8. First time you performed?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

16. A favourite song to cover?

“Enjoying our new version of Rihanna’s “Only Girl In The World” these days—so much that we’re going to record it for the next album.”

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

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

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

20. Anything planned for the studio? “Album No. 3 is on its way.

A week after tour we hit the studio.

Exciting things!”

The War Amps float passed on the vital PLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE message at the recent Steveston Salmon Festival Parade. This year’s theme, “Safety is no Accident – Spot the Danger,” was depicted in the colourful, animated float, specially designed to capture the attention of children, and remind them to be aware of their surroundings at all times. James Kwaksistala (above), 9, and Owen Greaves, 12, of Richmond, joined the float as Safety Ambassadors.

Members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, James and Owen are well qualified to pass on the PLAYSAFE message as they have met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented.

They now work at spreading the message of “playing safely” to as many children as possible.

SUMMER

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

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

Fascinated by the potential of the ukulele, Shaw found it an effective instrument to convey the music of the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s, and in 1997 became Canada’s “King of the Ukulele”—the title of his first solo CD. Shaw’s concert starts at 6:30 p.m. at the cannery (12138 Fourth Ave.) in Steveston; admission is by donation. The Music at the Cannery series is sponsored by G&F Financial Group, Cannery Brewing Co. and Canada Berries, and is presented in collaboration with The Beat Merchant. The series continues every Friday night until Aug. 29, rain or shine.

Question of the Week Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear.

Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you?

Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

?

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles.

With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll.

Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

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

As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

The Lowdown Power: 235hp 2.0L turbo or 194hp hybrid Fill-up: N/A Sticker price: N/A

Safety Tip: There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

Cruze is cruising up the bestseller charts

by Keith Morgan

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

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

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

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

It recorded a five percent year-over-year sales increase in the first quarter reports.

Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 percent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch.

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

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

It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and five-door hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was impressed with its design and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or singles with a daily commute on their hands.

However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist!

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

Perhaps most

‘‘

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

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

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

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

Worth a serious look by import car fans. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

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

Room enough to Pilot the entire family

by Ian Harwood

B.C. high school students show off their skills on video

by Bob McHugh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trades can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path with a higher than average wage level and a solid future.

The trades sector in B.C. is expected to face an overall labour shortage by 2016 that will deepen in the following years, according to WorkBC Trades Occupations Outlook (2010-2020) report (www.workbc.ca).

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

Most apprentice programs are four years and on-the-job training is on-going, especially in the auto service industry.

Changes in new technology are rapidly transforming trades, as well as other occupations. Looking even further ahead, our growing and evolving job market will require skilled, capable people who can adapt to new challenges and new technologies.

You can look at the top three winning entries online at www.discoverskillsbc.ca bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

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

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

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

Honda satellite-linked navigation system with trilingual voice recognition that responds to over 800 verbal commands Safety first: The 2014 Pilot’s standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist, commonly known as electronic stability control with traction control and ABS. There are three row-side curtain airbags with roll over sensors; dual stage front air bags, a driver’s front side air bag, and a passenger’s front side air bag with occupant position detection system. There’s also have hill start assist on all models.

The VTM-4 system directs power to the front differential when extra traction is not required, helping with the fuel economy, when more traction is required, the system engages the rear differential.

Power: The 3.5 litre, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivers 250 hp and 253 ft lbs of torque. Variable cylinder management (VCM) which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five speed automatic transmission runs smoothly and very quiet when shifting.

When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in operation. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb)

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

Roadworthy: I took the Touring edition up some logging roads in Squamish. It was incredibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches.

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

sports Monkeys returning to Dolphin Classic New version of old favourites to play in 2014 hoops classic next week

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

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

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Hey, hey, the Monkeys are returning.

OK, not the original Monkeys, but apparently a pretty fair effort by a group of Generation Y athletes to revive one of the most popular teams ever to lace ‘em up at the annual Dolphin Basketball Classic.

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

Led by former X-Falcons Kyle Watson and Doug Plumb—the most valuable player in last year’s men’s final where the X-Falcons outscored the Runnin’ Rebels 6054—the new Monkeys have stressed their intent to maintain the spirit of fun that became symbolic of the original lineup which featured such legends as John Dykstra and John Conners.

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

by Don Fennell Sports Editor One of the certainties of sport is uncertainty.

Just as Forrest Gump likened life to a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.

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

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

“As coaches we loved what we saw at our

More soccer in store at Nations Cup 2014

by Don Fennell Sports Editor There will be even more reason to cheer at the 2014 Nations Cup. Western Canada’s premier amateur soccer tournament will kick off July 18 in Richmond with an

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

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

Gillis had to be further encouraged by the Islanders’ efforts against the Richmond Boys’ Fastball under-14 team in a friendly Wednesday. In Gillis’ eyes the game was never about the final score, but the opportunity for the girls to see faster pitching, movement and bats than they’ll see at this weekend’s tournament.

“The goal, as it is in all sports, was to slow the game down,” he said. “We saw pitches that were in the 90 km/h range, while in the provincials the girls are topping out at 80.

Our goal as coaches was to work on reaction time, which hopefully will make it a little easier when we face teams like White Rock and TriCity.”

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

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

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

“The powerhouses will be there, but anything can happen,” said Gillis.

Morningstar brings luxurious view homes to Maple Ridge

By Kerry Vital

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

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

Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing at Morningstar.

“Add to that the scenic backdrop of the Golden Ears Mountains and it’s just magical.”

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

“We’re thrilled at the response to our homes,” she says.

“We’re bringing our best ideas from Burke Mountain to Maple Ridge … and adding some new twists.”

They also have Robertson Heights coming soon.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

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

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

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

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

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

Blexo Developments’ Delta Rise is a premier real estate opportunity in North Delta, with huge balconies, spacious homes and a prime location that offers stunning views and easy access to shopping, dining, leisure and recreation opportunities.

Rising to the top with Delta Rise

By Kerry Vital

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

“You have to see it to believe it,” says Satish Sharma, principal at Blexo Developments.

“You can’t replicate this anywhere else.”

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

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

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

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

“These finishings are extremely highquality,” says Sharma.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Homes at Delta Rise start at $199,000.

For more information, visit www.deltarise. ca, call 604-594-RISE (7473), or stop by the presentation centre at 11941 80 Avenue, Delta, open daily between 1 and 6 p.m.

Monday to Friday and noon and 5 p.m.

Quality of entries continues to escalate From Page 30

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That said, there will be some familiar names and teams returning for the 2014 Classic including Marek Klassen (who just won the National Christian Colleges title with San Diego’s Point Loma Nazarene University), Steve Janzen and Athletes in Action; Steve Lee and the Runnin’ Rebels; and the Paul Eberhardt-led Richmond-Langara allstars to name just a few.

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

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

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

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

Every dollar counts,” Chyzowski says.
