New Teamsters advertisements accuses furniture giant of bullying workers

New from IKEA:

BĂœLLY

The union representing picketing workers at Richmond IKEA is increasing pressure on the Swedish furniture retailer to negotiate an end to a 14-month labour dispute.

Teamsters Local 213 is taking out advertisements depicting a broken bookcase with the name BĂźlly—a sarcastic take on the popular Billy bookcases sold at IKEA. The ad, the first of its type since the dispute began in May 2013, accuses IKEA of making billions while bullying workers. “IKEA Corporate is forcing workers to take a lot less—and is locking them out until they give in,â€? reads the ad. “Tell IKEA to treat its workers fairly. Go IKEA-free—and don’t shop at any location or online until it does.â€?

Teamsters representative Anita Dawson said word from the picket line suggests some shoppers are surprised to see pickets, unaware a labour dispute is still going on. “It’s basically to reinvigorate the awareness that this is still ongoing, and IKEA is still not participating in negotiations,� said Dawson.

Approximately 325 unionized workers have been out of work

Something from IKEA is broken.

It’s moved from selling bookcases to selling out its valued workers. $&%$& ( ' $& # +$& &' ($ ( !$( ! '' - # ' !$ # ( " $)( )#( ! ( , * # !! ($ (& ( (' +$& &' &!, $ & - # $#.( ' $% ( #, !$ ( $# $& $#! # )#( ! ( $ '

A new Teamsters ad is aimed at bringing public awareness to the ongoing labour dispute at IKEA.

for over a year. The Jacombs Road store remains open, albeit with reduced service.

So much time has passed, nine workers have had babies during the dispute, said Dawson. “People’s lives still go on, and you think it’s a hardship just being a single person—now you’ve got a young child to take care of too.�

Contract talks have been frozen since December, according to Dawson. IKEA is waiting for a B.C. Labour Board ruling on a union application to clarify the status of 35 workers who crossed the picket line. But that shouldn’t get in the way of talks, Dawson said.

‘Airport-based economy’ key to future Establishing connections with China would lead to jobs and economic spinoffs here, says Coun. Chak Au

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A local politician sees “huge opportunities” for Richmond in China, and believes it’s time for the island city to focus on building an airport-based economy.

“I think we should solidify this airportbased economy concept,” said Richmond Coun. Chak Au in an interview. “We should reposition ourselves to be an international trade and business hub.”

On recent trips to China—on his own dime—Au met with government and airport officials to explore the possibility of a direct air connection with sister city Xiamen and linking with a major air cargo hub in Zhengzhou. Xiamen officials have

been considering the link, and Zhengzhou is preparing to grow its connections to North America—with an eye on becoming the largest air cargo hub in central China.

Responses have been positive, said Au, who noted Richmond has assets other cities don’t—transportation connections and a skilled workforce—and stands to benefit through jobs and economic spinoffs such as tourism and new markets for business.

“I think all along we haven’t made the best use of those assets,” he said. “We need to strive for diversification and growth. We cannot be complacent.”

Au, who will run for a second council term this fall, returned Friday from China, where he was accompanied by a delegation of local government, business and education representatives. Boosting Richmond’s airport-based economy is a “community project,” said Au, who hopes to establish a local committee to further the concept.

Earlier this year, Vancouver Airport Authority president and CEO Craig Richmond told Richmond council a record number of passengers travelled through YVR last year, with much of the growth coming from Asia.

“Expanding service to Asia, particularly China, and capturing more of the Chinese tourism market, is a tremendous opportunity,” said Richmond. “I think this is the greatest commercial aviation opportunity in history. It’s on our doorstep.

The Chinese carriers are tripling the size of their fleets in the next 15 years, and so we can take advantage of that.”

YVR offers a total of 75 flights to China each week—more than any other North American airport—and growing connections with the world’s most populous country is a major plank for YVR. But not everyone is eager to see the rise of traffic in the air. Coun. Harold Steves has objected to airport growth, citing concerns for the environment—particularly from the risk jet fuel tankers pose for the Fraser River. Last year a consortium of airlines won environmental approval to build a new pipeline through Richmond. Once built, it will be fed by tankers docking near Riverport.

“That’s going to be a very sore point for decades to come,” Steves told the airport’s president.

Coun. Chak Au would like to see a boost for Richmond’s airport-based economy.

IKEA says ads won’t bring two sides any closer From Page 1 “We can still bargain,” she said. “The union has said we’re willing to negotiate on all of the outstanding issues, and IKEA still won’t come to the table.”

Unionized workers elsewhere in the country are also putting pressure on IKEA, recently picketing three Ontario stores in support of Richmond workers.

IKEA spokesperson Madeleine Löwenborg-Frick said an ad campaign won’t get the two sides any closer to an agreement. She added it’s in the “best interest

“We think it’s best to wait for a labour board ruling. At that point, we are willing to return to the bargaining table to reach a fair collective agreement with the union.”

Löwenborg-Frick also said IKEA remains committed to provide wages and benefits that exceed industry standards.

“We’ve never believed that.”

Groping suspect sought by police CrimeStoppers offers cash for tips after woman assaulted on bus

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who groped a woman aboard a Richmond transit bus last May. The victim boarded a bus at the corner of Williams Road and Railway Avenue on Friday, May 23 when she fell asleep some time after Brighouse Station.

She awoke to find a suspect with his hand on her upper left thigh, which was covered by the suspect’s jacket.

Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who allegedly groped a woman aboard a Richmond transit bus last May.

The victim used her purse to block her lap and tried to move the suspect’s hand with her elbow, but the suspect instead moved his hand further down her thigh.

The victim then removed the man’s jacket, grabbed his hand and pushed it off and told him to get away from her.

The man apologized several times and said:

“I really like you, is it possible to go out with you?”

The victim took a picture of the suspect and told him she was going to call the police.

The man continued to apologize and kissed her shoulder, disembarking at Westminster Highway and Highway 91 in East Richmond.

The incident is now the Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week for the week

beginning July 20.

The photos taken by the woman were released this week by investigators.

Anyone with information about the incident, or who can identify the suspect, is asked to provide anonymous information to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The tip leading to the man’s arrest and charge could be worth a cash reward.

Don Fennell file photo Norman Wrigglesworth wants Halloween fireworks displays banned.

Ban Halloween fireworks, resident urges council An 88-year-old Richmond resident urged city council this week to put an end to a night of “noise pollution� before it returns in three months.

Norman Wrigglesworth said Monday it’s time the city scraps its Halloween fireworks displays, held each year on Oct. 31. Fireworks, he said, interrupt sleep and terrify animals. He also said children experimenting with pyrotechnics leads to injuries and vandalism. “It’s a bunch of rubbish,� said the 59-year resident, who is no stranger to council. “The hospitals, and the police and the fire departments are usually busy enough without all this extra baloney of Halloween.�

Each Halloween the city hosts a number of fireworks shows at public parks, but backyard displays aren’t permitted. Under the city’s Fireworks Regulation Bylaw, fireworks and firecrackers are illegal to possess, buy or sell in Richmond. Fines range from $250 to $1,000. —Matthew Hoekstra

A Richmond man was arrested late last month in connection with allegations he unlawfully accessed computers in the United States.

Lyse Cantin, spokesperson for the Department of Justice, said the United States requested the provisional arrest of Su Bin on June 27.

He allegedly participated in a conspiracy to hack computers at Boeing, according to multiple reports.

Bin, who is in his late 40s, was arrested June 28 and a bail hearing has now been set for Friday, July 18.

According to CBC News, Bin is a Chinese businessman and a permanent resident of Canada who is accused of hacking into computer systems of companies with large defence contracts, including Boeing.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation filed a complaint against Bin, outlining his alleged participation. Bin is also known as Stephen Su and Stephen Subin.

American prosecutors believe Bin worked with two unnamed Chinese hackers to get data between 2009 and 2013 and tried to sell the information to state-owned Chinese companies.

None of the allegations have been proven in court. —Martin van den Hemel

Council Update Garden City Lands – 55 hectares of extraordinary community space The Garden City Lands is 55 hectares of City-owned open space. It is destined to remain in the public realm, entirely for Bill McNulty community use, Councillor for Richmond’s future generations to come.

Thousands of people participated in an unprecedented, year-long public engagement process to discover what the community wanted for this large, centrally located area destined to become extraordinary community space.

All of this input helped inform the Garden City Lands Legacy Landscape Plan, which City Council approved in June. The plan will be a guide for more detailed planning and implementation of the vision.

The plan envisions seven specific zones within the Lands – each having its own unique characteristics and programming opportunities: bog, wetland, sanctuary, fields, mound, community hub and the Edges.

The Edges is our first impression of the Lands. The ability to walk around the site was a top priority for the public. We will ensure there is a perimeter trail, 2.5 kilometres long, with entrances to the rest of the park at intersections and corners.

I support a plan that both

utilizes the beauty of the land and introduces components of our strategy methodically, rather than rushing them. As we proceed, and as great ideas evolve, we may discover opportunities to add complimentary aspects to the park, provided they fit within the legacy plan.

As an example, imagine that the perimeter pathway is lined with a series of gardens, perhaps small botanical plots representing landscape design and native plants from various countries around the world. It could be somewhat representative of Richmond’s renowned Highway to Heaven which features several spiritual faiths harmoniously co-existing side by side. It’s an opportunity to provide added enjoyment for those using the perimeter path.

Think about how much pleasure the Kuno Japanese Memorial Garden at Garry Point Park brings to people.

I have been advocating for the expansive space we know as Garden City Lands to be public community space since the early 1970s when I supported the City obtaining it from the Ministry of Transportation. It’s rewarding to see that we are close to fulfilling that quest. I join you in looking forward to the following years as we finalize planning and begin creating the landscape zones for everyone to enjoy for many generations. Remember Richmond, it’s your future park – visit it.

Seeing the world with Ocean Mysteries From Page 5 The show explores life in the world’s oceans and airs Saturday mornings on the regional ABC affiliate KOMO. As the director of the show, he sets up scenes, figures out what they’ll be shooting, and directs the talent on the show, including host Jeff Corwin.

But Greene is also the director of photography, working the primary camera, which is responsible for about 80 per cent of the show’s televised footage.

“I can’t see myself doing anything different,” Greene said.

Greene joined Ocean Mysteries in its first season, and the show is now in the midst of shooting its fourth and fifth seasons.

Greene speaks fondly of his time growing up in Richmond.

“It’s certainly home,” he said Tuesday, just a few days after returning from a week-long visit to B.C. that included a gathering with family and friends, a trip to Sechelt, and a visit to his former elementary school’s playground with his children.

His love for nature and the sciences likely came from his parents, who are both now retired. His father, Wayne, was a nuclear physicist at the University of B.C. while his mother was a school teacher at Robert J. Tait Elementary.

After taking the French Immersion program at Whiteside, he graduated from Matthew McNair Secondary and then obtained a degree in sciences with a focus on marine biology from Simon Fraser University (The way he looked at it, he knew he’d be working with aquatic life, so he’d better know quite a lot about them.)

He then packed his bags and moved to Australia, where he worked as a biologist on the country’s west coast in Shark Bay, known for its tiger sharks.

He was also hired as a scuba diving instructor on the country’s east coast, near the Great Barrier Reef.

That’s where he got his first experience working with underwater cameras, taking video of guests.

Life then took him to Alaska, where he worked as a fisheries observer for the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Armed with a camera, Greene shot footage of big storms as well as a memorable clip of sea lions jumping on fishing boats and eating their catch.

Hoping to land a gig at National Geographic, he put together a reel

Patrick Greene’s love for nature was nurtured in Richmond, a place his parents and older brother still call home. He won an Emmy for his behind-thelens work on the ABC series Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin.

of his best footage and sent it to a connection he had there.

He got the job in 2001, which was the beginning of his film career.

Today, he hauls top-of-the-line documentary camera gear worth about $50,000 to $60,000 to the corners of the globe, including Botswana and New Zealand.

He’s shot footage of Nile crocodiles, African painted dogs, hippos, elephants and lots of sea snakes.

While he’s often around dangerous and unpredictable creatures, the biggest challenges often come from the weather.

Keeping lenses clean and dry, and free of drops is imperative, while shooting on the open ocean is impossible during high winds.

“We need to ensure everyone’s protected,” he said.

Asked if the insects in these exotic places are a nuisance, Greene said he wears bug suits when necessary, and though it can be hot and uncomfortable, it’s “better than being eaten alive.”

Ironically, it’s not the threat of getting malaria from mosquitoes in Botswana that is his biggest concern. It’s bites from deer ticks in North America.

Greene learned in May he was nominated for an Emmy by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and was joined by his wife Sara in Los Angeles on June 20 for the red carpet reception and awards night where the winners were announced.

The father of two, who is raising his daughters in Washington, D.C., beat out four others for outstanding directing in a lifestyle/culinary/ travel program.

“I was completely in shock,” said Greene, who recalled turning to hug his wife and Jeff Corwin and

the show’s executive producer.

“Everything was in slow motion.”

Luckily, he’d prepared a speech, in which he thanked a long list of people, including Litton Entertainment which produces a series of shows for ABC, CBS and CW, Georgia Aquarium and its scientists, biologists, animal trainers and other experts, and of course his wife and parents.

Greene is heading for Hawaii this week to film pilot whales and false killer whales. He’s also heading to Japan to film giant salamanders.

But he hasn’t forgotten where he came from, and specifically the abundance of creatures in supernatural British Columbia.

Last year, he worked went to Bowen Island to film giant Pacific Octopus. He also has worked with the Vancouver Aquarium to film Steller sea lions.

Aside from Ocean Mysteries, Greene runs his own production company, Symbio Studios, in Washington, producing science education videos tailored to children as young as eight, all the way up to high school.

He credits his French Immersion classes at Whiteside with helping him to film Beluga whales in Quebec, and to convince a farmer in Tahiti to permit him to fly a camera-equipped quadcopter over his fields.

He’d still like to return to B.C. to do a killer whale story, and perhaps do more on the giant Pacific octopus.

His advice for elementary school dreamers: “You’ve got to keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let anyone get in the way of your goals and your dreams. Staying humble helps, people like to help humble people, and find a mentor of some sort.”

Regional push forms on Fraser flood control Coalition pledges co-ordinated strategy to avert disaster

by Jeff Nagel Black Press A broad coalition of local and senior governments and other interests have joined forces to craft a coordinated strategy to safeguard the Lower Mainland from a catastrophic flood.

The Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy aims to pull together an action plan with costs within two years to begin the process of raising dikes and improving other flood defences in the years ahead.

It’s unclear how the billions of dollars in needed work will be raised but advocates hope a regional approach will prove more logical than leaving individual municipalities to work in isolation on flood planning and lobbying for grants.

The initiative led by the Fraser Basin Council was announced Tuesday and will focus on the risk of Fraser River flooding and coastal flooding from winter storm surges, which are expected to be amplified by a rising sea level.

Technical work is to begin later this year to bet-

like the devastating one of 1894, thought to have been a one-in-200-year flood that new studies now project may come once every 50 years.

“We don’t know whether that’s next year or 49 years from now.”

Some Fraser Valley politicians fear the strategy may focus too heavily on

ter identify areas of the region that are most vulnerable to flooding.

Fraser Basin Council chair Colin Hansen said a priorized strategy of what flood defence works are needed most urgently would guide spending.

A blueprint for deliberate, planned upgrades would aim to avoid a repeat of 2007, when the Fraser threatened to flood and politicians frantically dispatched hundreds of dump trucks to raise dikes as an emergency action.

“We did not know whether we were putting those dump truck loads in the most important places or not,” Hansen said.

“We threw money at the problem on an urgent basis. We need to make sure taxpayers’ dollars are spent effectively, targeting the highest risk areas first and dealing with the secondary concerns as we go forward.”

Part of the case for a regionally agreed strategy is because flood water pushed back in one area will flow to another.

Just building higher dikes in the Fraser Valley could simply direct more water at Richmond, Hansen said.

Dikes are sometimes maintained by different municipalities on either side of a river – such as the Pitt River between Coquitlam and Port Co-

quitlam. If just one side is built higher to new standards, the other side would flood first in high water.

“Everything that is done has consequences somewhere else,” Hansen said.

“That’s why this has to be an integrated plan.”

Federal and provincial ministers pledged support, noting a Fraser flood has the potential to be the worst natural disaster in Canadian history, with 300,000 residents and $50 billion in development at risk on the river’s floodplain. Also backing the plan was Sto:lo Grand Chief Doug Kelly, who said aboriginal communities’ pleas for help during

floods in 1989 and 1990 were mired in “jurisdictional warfare” between the provincial and federal governments.

Adding to the sense of urgency are new reports released by the province last week that project major floods will be more frequent and severe as a result of climate change, and warned most dikes in the Fraser Valley are not high enough.

“It makes this much more real,” said Fraser Basin Council executive director David Marshall.

He said a major flood could cut off the rest of Canada from Asia-Pacific trade and sterilize the fertile farmland soil of the

ombined, skateboarding and longboarding have over 50 years of history. Once a fad they are now a mainstream recreational activity and method of daily—sustainable and fitness enhancing— transport, especially in urban areas. But they have invited a new level of attention in the past few years in various lower mainland municipalities—attention leading to regulation by by-law.

The growing number of boarder and motor vehicle near misses and collisions are part of the reason, of course. Boarder and pedestrian interaction on sidewalks and boarder and cyclist interaction on sidewalks and roads have also contributed. In June 2013, five Metro Vancouver longboarders suffered severe injuries in five separate incidents. The summer, after all, is prime long-boarding season.

West Vancouver was one of the first municipalities to ban these activities outright.

The City of North Vancouver has taken a less restrictive approach prohibiting them on a list of 14 streets (including the sidewalks of these streets), but also requiring compliance with safety regulations requiring wearing a helmet while boarding, staying “as close to the right side of the roadway or lane as is practicable,” and not using “roadways or lanes where the speed limit exceeds 50 km/hr.”

In the North Vancouver District, longboarding the sloped streets is legal on all but two roads, but authorities can fine and impound a board for ‘reckless’ boarding.

In White Rock, by-laws prohibit any rolling activity such as skateboarding, longboarding and even coasting on a bicycle “on any highway” in the municipality. Technically, however, lack of specificity in the wording of the law may permit the interpretation that these same activities may be permissible on sidewalks.

This topic is back in the news this summer as a result of the approval by Coquitlam city council in early July of the first three readings of by-laws to prohibit skateboards, longboards, inline skates and scooters on all city streets and sidewalks, and limiting them to multi-use pathways. These pathways, many of them through parks, would be signed to allow for sharing by pedestrians and all non-motorized devices, including bicycles, but giving pedestrians the right of way.

Media reports say these changes in Coquitlam have come as a surprise preceded by “little public discussion and little to no concerns raised to council.” The explainers and defenders—the city’s manager of engineering and some of the councillors—say the aim of these bylaws is to improve the safety of the travelling public “in a city with very hilly geography and boarders who can move at high speeds,” and to reduce or eliminate conflicts on sidewalks, and that they are needed to “cover the city’s potential liabilities.”

One Coquitlam councilor also cited the needs of the city’s aging population for better sidewalk safety. “Anyone moving faster than a pedestrian but without the same ability to stop “represents a real challenge,” he said. The city engineer also pointed out that bylaws provide “flexible tools for enforcement,” with enforcement usually prompted by complaint only, and that the intent “is clearly not to prevent a six-year-old child from using the device while their parent is watching.” …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

ast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province.

The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds.

Stone emphasized that accident risk is not

so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.”

For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island.

Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist.

Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous.

My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and

on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-andtunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h.

There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster.

The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents.

The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation.

Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least.

ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up.

Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase

of nearly 5% on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers.

Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas.

test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style.

But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road.

“The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon StarPhoenix.“Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.”

If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale.

My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic.

What does Richmond achieve with the Oval?

Editor: Re: “What could Richmond achieve without the oval?” Letters, July 11.

My headline would be “What does Richmond achieve with the Oval?”

Letter writer Terrence Murphy should visit the place and go early because the underground parking is usually full.Go and see the hundreds of people, young and old, happily playing basketball, using the 15 or so table tennis tables, playing ice hockey, participating in the skating club,

in fencing competitions, indoor soccer, wheelchair athletes taking part in local and international basketball and rugby tournaments etc. Glance up at the building wide fitness facility also highly used. Wow, Richmondites have somewhere to go, especially the young, rather than hanging around in the malls texting, twittering and facebooking as if that was all that mattered.

What a beautiful facility it is, inside and out. Beautiful location.

Remember the designers who used

the pine beetle damaged wood for the ceiling beams etc. This brought work and money to the areas where the damage was.

The city had the foresight to apply to have this building here rather than elsewhere in the Lower Mainland. What do the other cities and municipalities have to compare with it? Nothing.

Regarding your taxes Mr, Murphy.

Money isn’t everything. Quality of life...priceless.

books Relationship with a power imbalance

From July 21 to 25, the Brighouse branch of the Richmond Public Library and Richmond Arts Centre will be hosting Seuss Town—a week-long celebration of the writing and artwork of the well-known children’s author, Dr. Seuss.

Events will include free, drop-in programs such as Dr. Seuss themed story times, art activities, a Seuss Family Read Along, puppet show and parade. Free, registered art classes are also available through the Richmond Arts Centre.

“Seuss Town is a wonderful way to promote language and arts literacy,” stated Melanie Au, head of Kids’ Place at the Richmond Public Library.

“We hope this will inspire families to develop a love of literature and good reading habits. Reading throughout the summer plays an important role in keeping their skills up to prepare for the coming school year and this can be a fun way to get the entire family excited about reading and books.”

As part of Seuss Town, the library will be decorated with children’s artwork featuring Dr. Seuss books and characters. This is the second summer the arts centre and library have collaborated to put on this event.

It’s not until the very end of the book that Simone finds her self-respect.

confidence and experience, Simone accepts the power imbalance as something natural and respectable. Ireland writes: “As teacher and student there was something correct, almost austere in our relationship. You were the one who knew the answers and it was up to me to seek them out.” Soon their relationship turns physical and Simone quickly becomes engrossed with Otto. A self-absorbed Svengali, Otto views Simone as his blank canvas.

Not long into their relationship, Otto tells Simone that his wife Carmen doesn’t want him around anymore.

Despite the knowledge that Otto is not only married but has a child only a few years younger than herself, Simone agrees to go on an extended trip to Mexico with him.

Between their shared interest in art and their growing sexual relationship, the world seems perfect to Simone. But what started out as fascination and desire, soon transforms into full-on obsession, and Simone all but loses herself in Otto.

During their stay in San Patricio other women come and go, and with each one, Simone’s jealousy and paranoia grow. Suspecting him of cheating, she conjures up scenarios that turn her into a neurotic, needy wreck.

Brisk pace for building sector in Richmond Condo construction leading the way again so far in 2014

From January to the end of June, Richmond City Hall issued 963 building permits with a value of $243.3 million— a slight 1.6 per cent drop from last year’s sixmonth total.

Among the approved projects is a $22.9-mil-

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Condominium construction in Richmond’s City Centre helped carry the local building sector in the first half of 2014, according to city hall records.

The Talk (not the birds and the bees) “Families Avoiding the Tough Conversations” is the topic of an article published last week on WealthManagement.com. The article examines the issue of parents talking with their children about Estate and healthcare planning.

Apparently, there isn’t a lot of talk these days. Parents don’t want their children to count on an inheritance, while children don’t want to broach the subject of future plans, not wanting to upset their parents. Nobody talks, but there is a price to pay.

A recent (American) study found that 10% of parents did not speak with their children about their Estate plans and 31% only had “vague” conversations. Also, 40% of the parents surveyed had not engaged in detailed discussions with their children about retirement and healthcare expenses.

The study also concluded that all this creates misconceptions. For example, children on average underestimate the size of their parents’ Estate by nearly $300,000. And while 43% of children said they plan to care for their parents if they fall ill, only 6% of parents believe they will rely on their children for help.

People who actually did have the in-depth discussions felt better and more at ease. Fully 93% of parents said that the discussions brought them greater peace of mind.

In my opinion, this study lacks depth but is interesting. I think there are many reasons that parents don’t speak with their children about Estate or healthcare planning. Some parents do not believe their children can manage their healthcare and financial affairs. Many parents have children who live out of town, which may affect their ability to plan. Children who are married and with their own families will have a limited ability to act as caregivers and Executors for their parents.

single-family homes helped boost that total, including one with a construction value of $1.2 million on agricultural land at 10577 Blundell Rd. According to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association, construction activity in the region is on par with last year. Building permits in the region totalled $2.83 billion

in the first five months this year, compared with $2.82 billion in the same period last year.

May was a particularly strong month, according to association president Fiona Famulak.

“Building permits saw increases across all permit categories this month, with industrial permits in particular seeing their highest month since July 2013,” she not-

ed in a news release last week. “While the monthover-month gains in May were significant, they essentially served to bring permit values back to expected seasonal trend levels after a few months of below-trend performance.”

All the big stars from the hit ABC TV fantasy series Once Upon A Time were back in Steveston this week, shooting Season 4 of the show that has brought to life such characters as Snow White, Prince Charming and Captain Hook.

Josh Dallas, who plays Prince Charming, Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White), Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan) and Jared Gilmore (Henry) were among the stars in the fishing village on Wednesday for the shoot that was scheduled to stretch into 2 a.m. Thursday. Large crowds amassed on Moncton Street for a chance to glimpse the stars in action, with one family visiting from Abbotsford, and one teen vacationing from Texas. The crowds were so large that at one point they had to be relocated because their reflections were appearing in the filmed footage.

The engine is its strongpoint but it’s not just a one-trick pony. I like the interior a lot.

The steering wheel is soft to the touch and I like that you can control various functions like the audio, Bluetooth, or cruise control from it. The centre stack has charm, too. Atop sits a colour display, followed by Ford’s infotainment system, followed by the climate controls. It’s hard to get lost in its setup, and the buttons are clearly marked with large writing.

However, it’s available on both the sedan and hatchback models.

Overall, the Ford Fiesta 1.0L has its benefits. A snappy engine, a great look and a comfortable ride quality. Whether you just drive it around the city or beyond, the Fiesta one-litre is a sturdy road companion with impressive fuel economy.

Porsche Macan: Good looking, high performer tops the price list too

by Zack Spencer

When the Porsche Cayenne was introduced, I questioned why the iconic sports car maker would build a grocery-getting SUV. Boy was I ever wrong.

Porsche was not only successful introduced the Cayenne, it went into become its best-selling vehicle and – wait for it – I even bought one! So, with the latest introduction of a smaller SUV called Macan, there is less fanfare around the fact that it actually exists and more excitement about how it performs.

The bigger question is with so many small luxury SUVs entering the market, is the Macan worth the $54,300 to get a base model or $82,200 for the turbo?

Looks The Macan uses same platform as the Audi Q5, a Volkswagen Group sibling, but features an entirely different body shell and engine options. The most striking design element is the wide hood that folds over the side of the front fenders, making a seamless, wide stance that is impressive. The hood actually has cutouts for the headlamps and weighs only 17kg. “Side Blades” decorate the lower body of the Macan and can be ordered in black, a matching body colour or carbon fibre.

The back end of the Macan is particularly sleek and tidy, the taillights wrap around from the side and into the tailgate with precession. It’s the lack of a trunk release that makes the design so pleasing. Instead, a small button on the base of the windshield wiper that electronically releases the power tailgate. Below the tailgate four exhaust tips tell passersby that this is a powerful machine.

Inside What the Macan has over the Q5 is a level of interior refinement that is almost unmatched in the car business. It’s finished with fine leather and a simple design that makes interacting with his SUV a joy. There are several drawbacks though. The cargo area is long but the rake of the rear window

limits taking larger objects inside the car. The back seat I find too small for a family of four people. Since I own a Cayenne, I have a great perspective on the amount of room this Macan offers.

Legroom is obviously tighter, headroom is just okay, it is the lack of space side-toside that I find limiting. The Cayenne is a perfect family choice, the Macan I believe is suited for a single person or active professional couple.

Not to say it couldn’t be use for family duty, it just wouldn’t be my choice.

Drive The launch of the Macan in California provided a route that carved through the mountains outside of Los Angeles on the way to Willow Springs racetrack.

Porsche always holds its events at a racecourse, proof that they believe they have something in this new SUV. There might be some confusion surrounding the naming of this car. Both the Macan S and Macan Turbo both come fitted with a V6 turbo. The base model is a 3.0L V6 with 340hp. The “Turbo” gets a larger 3.6L V6 with a higher output turbocharger and is rated at 400hp. The base model would be my choice. Driving in back country roads the power was fantastic and the additional money could be spent upgrading the suspension from the base steel springs to steel with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that allows the driver to set the firmness of the ride. This upgrade was noticeable on the track. The turbo comes standard with this setup but the added power and expense was only really noticeable when the Macan was pushed very hard around the racetrack. For regular commuting the S is just fine.

Verdict I love the way the Macan looks, the interior is wonderful and the handling can be very sporty if the buyer chooses. Here is the issue; the Macan can get very expensive in a hurry.

All of the cars I drove in California were over $100,000 with features like PASM, additional air suspension and sport-chrono settings for the 7-speed duel

clutch automatic. When I configure a base S with the features I would want like navigation, PASM, front and rear parking sensors, bigger wheels, Bose stereo and a few other odds and ends, comes to almost $75,000, never mind the $82,200 starting price of the turbo.

Having recently driven the

spectacular Audi SQ5, from which this car is based, that 354hp rocket is a bargain at $60,000, almost fully equipped. I like the Macan, and they will sell every one to people who want to have the latest, but I think the pricing structure is a bit over the top. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

The Macan is Porsche’s small luxury SUV.

Your off-road fun can be seriously soured by a backwoods breakdown.

Before you head out, give some serious thought about what you would do if a major breakdown occurred. Ask yourself if you could deal with it on a little used trail with no one else around.

Firstly, you should never go it alone on a remote, seldom used trail. This is a good reason why 4X4 clubs are popular. (www.bc4x4.com)

Even if you do not join a club, trail ride events are scheduled most times of the year and everywhere in the province. There is security here, with all kinds of help if you have any problems. It is also the best way to gain off highway experience.

If you choose to go off alone, give yourself an out, do not go further than you can walk out and find help or shelter before dark. Carry food and water enough in case you have to spend the night with a broken down vehicle. Be prepared for an accident with first aid supplies and training on how to deal with injuries. Always let someone know where you are going and when you will be back.

Getting a flat tire is by far the most common type of breakdown. Always carry a good full sized spare tire.

You might want to pack a plug kit, but most of the tire problems I have seen are not repairable. An essential item is an air compressor. Airing down to gain better traction is only outweighed by the increased ride quality. This will increase the odds of a lost tire bead however.

Make sure your jack is in good working order. If you carry a High Lift Jack on the outside of your vehicle, check and oil it often. Another handy item for tire work is a nylon winch hold down strap.

These can be put around the centre of the tread and tightened to re-seat the bead.

Another problem is breakage due to overworking your vehicle. The weakest link in the drive train seems to be the U-joints. If you break a U-joint there is a good probability that you will damage the yoke as well. This usually is not a trail side repair. Just remember that you are driving a fourwheel drive vehicle and you can most often get home with the front or rear drive disconnected. You will need to remove the drive shaft with the broken U-joint so that further damage is not done, then drive out in twowheel drive. If this is a front axle steering knuckle U-joint, the half shaft will need to be removed and a rag stuffed into the end of the open axle housing.

Print the following comprehensive list and post it on the fridge door!

3. Jumper cables 4. Air compressor and hose.

5. Bailing wire 6. Latex gloves (these are great if you have to mess with a greasy U-joint and don’t have a good way to clean your hands) 7.8’ X 10’ tarp (This is so much better to lay on instead of the ground when working under the vehicle.)

Show some respect for the Chevy Impala

by Bob McHugh The much-maligned fleet car Chevrolet Impala is the “I don’t get no respect!” sedan of the auto world, if I may quote the late Rodney Dangerfield.

The Impala I rented in Hawaii early this year was confirmation of the beating, while on the job, that a car like this has to endure. Yet, you have to respect the sturdiness and competence that a car like this must possess.

Body scars left by a multitude of indifferent drivers were visible evidence of the abuse. Although basic on the inside, the Impala turned out to be surprisingly comfortable

and the biggest surprise of all was its performance.

Impala offers good power, a quiet passenger cabin and a comfortable ride, which helped make the overall driving experience a

pleasant one.

Chevrolet first introduced an Impala way back in 1958 and at one time, it was the best-selling car in America.

The last time I had driven an Impala was in 2009.

Chevrolet had given it a new flex-fuel E85 engine upgrade, so that it can accept up to 85 per cent ethanol content in its fuel.

While an Impala is unlikely to be on your “dream drive” list, if you’re simply looking for an inexpensive, reliable and roomy, near-new sedan, then add it to your used car drive list. In 2010, even the base LS trim came with air conditioning, power mirrors, walnut burl (imitation) interior accent trim, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel,

power windows and power locks with keyless entry and automatic headlamps.

Our Hawaii rental was an LT trim which added 16-inch alloy wheels, a leatherwrapped wheel with audio controls, CD/MP3 stereo and a remote starter. The topline LTZ adds 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, heated mirrors, deck lid spoiler, auto-dimming rearview mirror, eight-way power driver’s seat, 60/40 splitfolding rear seat, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, sport suspension, electronic stability control, and a theft deterrent system.

The 3.5-litre V6 (standard on LS and LT) engine can generate 214 horsepower.

Its companion four-speed automatic is smooth, competent and reliable,

yet it lags behind five and six-speed units offered by competitors. Fuel consumption is still decent at 11.3/7.0 L/100 km (city/ highway). The 3.9-litre (LTZ) engine can generate 240 horsepower.

This generation Impala may be the last sedan to offer six-passenger seating.

A drawback to having a bench style front seat is that it only provides a centre occupant a lap seatbelt.

When not in use, however, the centre seatback can flip down and act as a wide central armrest with a builtin storage compartment.

Although it is classified as a mid-size sedan, an Impala actually offers close to fullsize room inside. The trunk is huge (527-litres/18.6 cu ft) and the rear seats flip-down

to expand cargo space for long items. More than enough for our pack lunch and some beach gear.

Chevrolet added standard body-colour side mouldings to the 2011 model year Impala, and the OnStar system got a new Turn-byTurn voice navigation feature.

Major powertrain upgrades followed in 2012, with a new 3.6-litre V6 replaced both the 3.5-litre and 3.9-litre engines in all trim levels. A six-speed automatic transmission also replaced the previous fourspeed automatic. No changes were made in 2013, which was the last year of this generation Impala.

Price Check: 2010 2013 Chevrolet Impala 2010: Expect to pay today $10,000 to $14,000 2011: $12,000 to $16,000 2012: $14,000 to $18,000 2013: $16,000 to $20,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Chevrolet Impala: 2006 to 2013: An ignition switch defect could allow it to slip out of the “run” position while the vehicle moving, if the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off-road

or is subjected to some other jarring event. If this were to occur, engine power, power steering and power braking would be affected.

In addition, the airbags may not deploy in a subsequent collision. Dealers will replace the ignition switch. Until the correction is performed, all items should be removed from the key ring.

2008 to 2012: The front suspension control arms may fracture on some Chevrolet Impala police vehicles and negatively change vehicle handling.

Dealers will replace both control arms.

2009/2010: The front seatbelt webbing may not have been properly secured to the lap belt anchor pretensioner. Dealers will inspect both front seatbelts for proper installation of anchors to pretensioners and, if necessary, reinstall the anchors.

2012: The high-pressure (upper) power steering hose may have been misrouted and could contact the catalytic converter, on vehicles equipped with the 3.6L engine. Heat from the catalytic converter may melt the power steering hose, which could result in a fire.

Dealers will inspect, reroute and/or replace the power steering hose and install a protective sleeve to prevent abrasion. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Ask the Experts am starting to notice my hair getting thinner!

Q: IWhat can I do?

A:

Hair thinning, or alopecia, can be a concern for many adults as we age.

There are two types of alopecia: Androgenic alopecia and Reactive Alopecia.

Androgenic alopecia affects men and is related to the breakdown of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Reactive alopecia mainly affects women and is the temporarily deregulation of the hair life cycle. This can happen as a side effect of medications, when there is increased stress, nutrient imbalance, hormonal changes, and with physical aging.

One of the first steps in treating alopecia is nutrient replenishment. This is because hair follicles require many nutrients from the blood stream to promote hair growth. When the body is deficient in certain B Vitamins and minerals, the hair follicle grows slower. I often recommend Phytophanere, a multivitamin containing vitamin Bs, biotin, and borage seed oil. Along with high dosages of omega-3 essential fatty acids, this combination may help jump start hair growth when used alongside other therapies (For omega-3s, try Metagenics EPA-DHA high concentrate liquid, where one teaspoon provides as much omega-3 as 18 salmon oil capsules).

In addition to supplementation, external hair treatments help boost hair root growth and provide anti-radical protection. For females, a hair serum called Phytocyane uses Ginkgo Biloba to increase micro-circulation and grape seed procyanidins to combat free radicals in order to treat reactive alopecia. For men, Phytolium 4 serum contains a topical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor to counter the detrimental effect of DHT on hair loss. With repeated use, hair should feel thicker and fuller.

Ask your pharmacist about treating hair loss naturally or find these products here at Pharmasave Steveston Village!

Q: Ifwould I were diagnosed with a serious illness, who take care of me and my family?

A:

I have a large box of Canadian and World Wide coins.

Do you buy them? How do you go about determining the value?

A:

Let’s start with the Canadian coins first. I usually sort them by denomination. (If you do this, it does save time in appraising). Then I go through and pull out any coin that has more collector value than the bullion value. If certain coins are common but in great condition we pick them out also.

Usually there are coins that are only worth face value as well and I would advise you to spend or deposit them in the bank.

We work out the silver value for Canadian coins that day and list and total them. Then we evaluate and list the collector coins by date and condition.

World coins are done a little differently. I first pull out any collector coins based on country, date and condition. Then I pull out all the remaining silver coins. Finally, I pull out coins that still have face value in their countries. Post Euro, most European national currencies have been demonetized.

We list all of these in order of how we pulled them out. There is always a batch of coins left over after I pull out and list the better coins.

These we just group into a batch and make an offer on the balance.

Anyone coming into our store has seen the huge basket of “junk coins” as we call them that we sell in bulk.

If you’re like most people, you probably know of someone who has been diagnosed or suffered from a serious illness. Because of this life-altering illness, that person and their family also likely suffered from the financial impact of their condition. You may have asked yourself many times, “If I were diagnosed with a serious illness, who would take care of me and my family? Who would pay the bills?”

Q:

Hi Mike. Many homes built in the 70’s have this exact pipe coming out of either the rear of the house or out the side of the house, just above the top of the footing. This pipe was installed when your house was originally constructed as an emergency drain for your hot water tanks temperature & pressure relief valve. It is also common, and acceptable in some cases, for installers to use this drain for the install of new high efficient condensing furnaces, so in this case it would be normal for you to see water coming out of this pipe in the winter when your furnace is running.

Since its summer, and in all likelihood your furnace is turned off, it is very likely that the water is coming from your temperature & pressure relief valve on your hot water tank (trade name T&P valve). This relief valve is a safety device who’s job it is to relieve pressure from your hot water tank in the event that you experience an increase of water pressure in your home.

In this case, you will require the services of licenced plumbing contractor to: a) use a gauge to determine your homes water pressure b) inspect your homes pressure reducing valve (trade name PRV) and either adjust it or replace it c) determine that your t&p valve is not holding and requires replacement.

We’re local,we’re knowledgeable, and our friendly office staff are available 8:00am – 4:30pm Monday to Friday to answer any of your questions.

Thanks to improvements in healthy living and medical science, there is a good chance you would recover from a serious illness and get on with your life. Critical Illness Insurance is a product that provides you with the funds needed to ease the burden of a life-altering illness, so you can focus on getting better without the disruption to your lifestyle or income.

Having information such as dimensions, pictures, plans, and even ideas showing what they would like to have a finished result allows me to understand their “wish list”. This, too, allows me to educate them on their options based on their unique situations For example, if they are working with a masonry fireplace, dimensions of their opening size, room size, and pictures quickly allow us to narrow down their options ensuring a good fit. If they are building a new house or renovating to add a new feature, then construction plans provide us the guidance.

Finally, after narrowing down choices in our showroom, The Richmond Firebox is always happy to visit their home to review the options and provide an accurate quotation outlining everyone’s responsibilities.

polarized lenses?

The extensive benefits of polarized lenses become even more evident as the sun is out more often and far longer in the summer months. Brightness and glare, which is produced when an object or light source in the field-of-vision is brighter than the amount of light to which the eyes are adapted, result in a loss of visual perception. Glare is concentrated light reflecting off a horizontal shiny surface, such as a car windscreen, sand, water, and snow or asphalt roads. It reduces visibility and can make it uncomfortable, painful and even dangerous to carry on driving, cycling, skiing or just sunbathing. Most tinted lenses will provide some brightness absorption, but only a polarized lens can effectively eliminate blinding glare.

Polarized sunglasses help when driving a car by reducing those bright reflections of the sun on the cars ahead, thus providing higher definition vision for driving, remove dazzling effects and reduce eye fatigue. The main benefits of polarized lenses are allowing for true perception of colours through improved contrast and clarity, increased visual comfort through decreased eye strain and squinting and reduced glare.

Honest answer is… Your home is really SOLD when the money is in your bank account. RARELY, there are occasions where a deal does collapse after subjects are removed. Potential reasons are: one of the Buyers dies; or perhaps the bank refuses to advance the funds because the Buyer loses their job or something changes with their financial situation (yes, it does happen); or your home might be substantially damaged after subject removal due to fire or water damage; or the Buyer chooses to forfeit their deposit and attempts to collapse the deal.

Reality is… It is RARE for a deal to collapse after the subjects are removed and the deposit is in place, but, as a Seller, you and your Realtor must do all of the necessary things to ensure your deal completes as planned. A reasonable deposit by way of a bank draft is suggested, a 5% minimum is our RE/MAX Westcoast policy, but that may vary with agencies. The contract must be strong, written properly to the standards of the Real Estate Board and the Real Estate Council, and must be fully signed and initialed by all parties to the contract (every change must be fully initialled). Inclusions and exclusions to the agreement (appliances, repairs to be done, oil tanks, alarm systems etc) must be clearly outlined within the Contract. The Sellers Disclosure Form should be fully filled out to the best of the Sellers knowledge, and accepted and signed by the Buyer. Every Seller has the option to seek legal advice prior to signing any contract, and that can be written into your agreement.

Reality is… When you have an accepted offer on your property that has any Buyer or Seller subjects at all (like inspection or financing) , your home is NOT SOLD! You are wise to continue to allow your Realtor access to show your property until the subjects are removed, the deal is firm, and the deposit is in place as per the terms of the contract. I prefer to have a back-up offer in place whenever possible so that if the 1st offer does not remove their conditions, we have a second Buyer committed on paper. Our job is to sell your home for terms that are agreeable to you. Showings and marketing should continue until your deal is done, which means accepted – signed – all conditions removed – deposit in place – and copies are delivered to all parties to the Contract of Purchase and Sale. From that point, your lawyer or notary will continue the process to ensure your deal is a happy one that completes as planned.

Q: When is my home ‘really SOLD’ ??

Q: How can chiropractors help to promote health?

A:

First we should look at what the definition of health is, and according to Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, “health is a state of optimal physical, mental, and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” We can not base our health on the absence of symptoms alone. For example, disease processes can be ongoing in the body without symptoms, we can see this with tooth decay, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc. A more constructive thought presented

by Hanse Selye was “the ability of your body to accurately interpret and appropriately adapt to lifestyle stresses” is what determines our level of health. The spine and nervous system are what control your body’s ability to interpret and respond to its surroundings. As chiropractors our job is to reduce or eliminate interference to the nervous system by detecting and correcting spinal subluxations, misalignments in the spine. Subluxations may be present without symptoms such as pain, muscle tension, numbness or tingling being expressed. However, there is still nerve compression or irritation affecting the nerves wherever they travel; muscles, ligaments, or organ systems. The affected regions will not be functioning at their optimum.

Chiropractors remove interference to the nervous system by providing adjustments to correct subluxations. When we do this, the body is in a better position to express its optimal health and adapt to its environment. We often treat our teeth better than our spines by getting regular dental check-ups, yet it is our spine which houses our nervous system that controls our entire body. We need to make getting our spines checked for proper function a part of our lifelong journey towards better health regardless of our expression of symptoms.

Who knew! Really? Yes, according to a study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine published in 2012. The researchers discovered that men in their study who had severe periodontal disease were three times more likely to have erection problems compared to men with healthy gums. They compared 80 men with erectile dysfunction (all aged 30-40 years old) with 82 men with no erection problems.

There is evidence that chronic periodontitis may induce other systemic vascular diseases like coronary heart disease, which are also linked to erection problems. However, all the men included in this study were those who did not have any systemic disease and were not smokers.

Since the subjects were all in their thirties the influence of aging was also eliminated. These were essentially otherwise healthy men who had gum disease.

Based on the conclusions from these researchers Dr. Faith Oguz from Inonu University in Turkey says that “periodontal disease is present more often in patients with erectile dysfunction than those without and should be considered as a factor by clinicians treating men with erection problems.”

fitness While drinking enough water is essential, too much can be harmful

When it comes to proper hydration it can be a challenge to know how much water we should be drinking.

You have heard the clichés “Too much of a good thing” and “Everything in moderation”? Well, when it comes to proper hydration it can be a challenge to know how much water we should be drinking.

Even today, many fitness advocates advise us to drink eight glasses of water a day to keep hydrated. You may be surprised to know, however, that there is no scientific proof we need eight glasses of water. According to the recently released Runner’s World Complete Guide to Running, the chapter on nutrition discusses that very subject: “Water is by far the largest constituent of the human body, making up about 60 per cent of total body weight.

Without enough fluids there have been higher rates of urinary tract infections and heart disease.”

Yet, too much water consumption can be fatal.

Hyponatremia, which means low blood sodium, has befallen marathon runners who drank too much water.

The chapter opens with: “We live in a waterobsessed society, water bottles have replaced orange slices as the players’ refreshment during and after football and soccer games; water coolers are as pervasive as tea bags in office kitchens.” Indeed, you just have to visit most large grocery stores to observe myriad plastic water bottles on display.

The answer to how much water should an athlete drink before, during and after exercise will ultimately contribute to good health and better performance.

In a recent phone interview, Nanci Guest, PhD candidate in nutrigenomics and athletic performance at the University of Toronto proclaimed, “There is no scientific evidence to prove we should drink (eight glasses of water). We need it to be more individualized. We

need to look at the body weight, the weather conditions, and pacing—how far and the intensity of the workout to determine how much water is needed. The more you sweat the more hydration is needed.”

Guest advises runners should weigh themselves before and after the workout to determine water loss. Every pound lost should be replaced with three cups of water. Guest added, “If you are (55 kilograms) and you lost (up to one kilogram) after the run that is okay. If the runner (had) lost (1.36 kg.) it’s not okay because of decrease in performance.”

Guest notes “anything over (one hour of running) you will need more than just water.

You need a sports drink for glucose that is more likely to run low at 1 hour (or 45 minutes intense), not just the electrolytes.

If you are (162.5 cm) and weigh (about 50 kg) and you are running for one hour, having just water is ok, but if you add hills or intensity to the workout, within 45 minutes you should have a sports drink to replenish the electrolytes loss.”

The International Marathon Medical Directors Association has issued the first fluid-consumption guidelines from a medical organization that was completely focused on and tailored to runners.

It suggests marathoners drink 13- 27 ounces of fluid per hour (you will need even more, depending on weather, combined with running pace and your weight) with an absolute ceiling at 27 ounces.

In 2007 at the London Marathon, a 22-year-old man died of hyponatremia. Since the modern era of marathon running began with the Athens Olympics of 1896, many have died from other causes, including over-exhaustion. Long considered the ultimate test of stamina and endurance, today’s runner must now be well-read on the risks that come with giving it everything you’ve got for 42.2 kilometers.

These specially designed animal masks can be used both on conscious pets that have suffered from smoke inhalation and pets that need to be resuscitated after losing consciousness from toxic fumes.

There are likely hundreds more pets in the city that could benefit from this great first aid product.

Richmond FireRescue has just placed two of the Wag’N Pet Oxygen Mask Kits into service on first-response rescue trucks. The carry bag kits include oxygen masks (one small, one medium, one large), laminated CPR instructions for cats and dogs, a kennel lead for animal control, animal incident report forms and pet rescue notice forms.

Canadians are reported to have a hearing-related disability and hearing loss is the most widespread disability here. Hearing loss can be debilitating physically and emotionally.

With only one ear functioning, I could hear sounds but I could not tell where the sounds were coming from. More than a third of my life was spent this way. “A few years ago, I found out about a technology called a bone anchor hearing aid that could help people like me. “Shortly after my appointment with Dr. Wong, she conducted the surgery to install a bone anchor behind my ear, which holds the sound processor in place.

2002B Islanders bring home provincial silver Richmond Girls’ Softball Association team caps stellar 2014 season with second at B.C. championship Coach Tyler Gibson was beaming just as much as any player on the Richmond 2002B Islanders Sunday. His was a reflection of immense pride, after the girls’ softball team capped a stellar 2014 season with an equally-briliant 10-game showing at Softball BC’s double knockout under-12 girls’ fastpitch championship in Coquitlam.’

“The weekend was a huge success for the Islanders who scored more runs than any other team, including being accountable for five of the 11 “over the fence” home runs that were hit,” said Gibson.

In the end, Richmond won silver medals following a final-game loss to a well-rested North Vancouver Stars, after the islanders got off to a good start, with three runs in each of the first two innings.

Sixteen teams from around the province earned their right to represent their district at the provincial championship. A four-game round-robin commenced Friday, with the Islanders going 3-1 to secure the fourth-place spot and advance to the eight-team double-knockout playoff round starting Saturday evening. The Islanders lost the first playoff game in the sweltering heat to the Ridge Meadows Rage, which turned out to be just the beginning of a long road back to the championship game.

After that, the Islanders went on to defeat and eliminate the Langley Extreme, the Port Coquitlam Ravens, Ridge Meadows Rage, and Coquitlam Classics to finally meet up with the No. 1 seed Stars Sunday evening in the championship game.

The provincials marked the sixth championship game in as many tournaments this season for the Islanders, who capped the season with a pair of golds and two silvers in Lower Mainland invitationals to go along with silver in the Lower Mainland Cup.

Richmond/South Delta Ball Hockey Association does well at this year’s Provincial Championships

THE RICHMOND BRUINS ARE PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS The Richmond Bruins Junior team won gold at the Provincials on June 29.

The Bruins won all of their preliminary games at the tournament but were down one goal in the final with a minute remaining when Carter Popoff (Vancouver Giants Player) tied the game sending it to overtime. Then in double overtime Jeeven Uppal scored in a goalmouth scramble to claim the championship 3-2. This is the first time that Richmond/South Delta has won at the Junior level. Coach Kelly Uppal said after the game that if it wasn’t for goalie Ryan Smith Richmond would have lost in the first period. Ryan was very deserving of the game MVP. It was a great team effort and Coach Uppal is proud of all of his players.

KCCO LIGHTNING Richmond was represented in the Minor division by KCCO. They won their three round-robin games in convincing fashion; 7-0, 3-1 and 6-3. In the semi-final they beat Delta handily by a score of 4-0. In the final they came up against Surrey. KCCO went down 2-0 but battled back to tie the game in the second period. However, Surrey scored the winning goal with less than 20 seconds to play and for the second year in a row KCCO claimed the silver medal. Chive On!

Runners-up in rowing Richmond’s Sarah Perry teams with Vancouver’s Audrey Tsai for second place in Junior Women’s A Division at B.C. championships Sarah Perry is the latest in a growing list of Richmond athletes to find success in rowing.

A Grade 10 student at R.A. McMath Secondary, Perry and pairs partner Audrey Tsai of Vancouver placed second in the Junior Women’s A Division at last weekend’s provincial championships at Elk Lake on Vancouver Island.

The girls were in tough competition, facing rowers from clubs throughout the province. Perry has only been rowing for a year with the Thunderbirds Rowing Club, which is based in Richmond. She attributes her success to hard work.

“The key to being successful in rowing is to not only get in the boat and row hard, but also to spend time on land exercises such as weightlifting and running. Along with that, you need to have really good nutrition,” she said.

Perry will be back on the water this weekend in Nanaimo, competing in the B.C. Summer Games Friday through Sunday.

Thousands make way to Nanaimo for B.C. Summer Games British Columbia’s best young athletes, coaches and officials are gathering in Nanaimo this weekend for the 2014 BC Summer Games.

An extensive group of Richmondites, part of the Fraser River Delta Zone 4 team, are among them.

“The B.C. Games are an essential component of our sport development system. They provide our promising young athletes with an important opportunity to compete against the province’s best, to test their athletic skills and build self-confidence. These athletes are a tremendous source of pride for British Columbians, some of whom will go on to compete for Team BC at Canada Games and international competitions. I wish them all the best of luck,” said Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

During the next three days, over 2,500 athletes between the ages of 11 and 18 will compete in 19 different sports at venues throughout Nanaimo.

Competitions for athletes with a disability are also included with events scheduled in athletics, para-equestrian and swimming. The athletes will be supported by over 500 coaches and 300 officials who have earned their certification in order to provide the best knowledge and expertise to

the athletes and the competition.

Community engagement and development is also a key feature of the BC Summer Games. Planning has been underway for the past 18 months and over 2,800 volunteers will welcome the participants to Nanaimo and ensure the Games are an exceptional experience that will never be forgotten.

“This first multisport Games experience creates a world of possibilities and inspiration for B.C. athletes to take forward in their future sport, education or leadership activities,” said Kelly Mann president and chief executive officer of the B.C. Games Society.

“Our team of partners and supporters have committed to make the BC Summer Games a success and provide this unique opportunity for thousands of British Columbians.”

The B.C. Summer and BC Winter Games were established in 1978 and provide a training ground for emerging high performance athletes. BC Games alumni include 2012 Olympic medalists Brent Hayden (swimming) and Carol Huynh (wrestling) as well as professional athletes like Brett Lawrie of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Richmond Olympian takes on full-time coaching role One of Richmond’s greatest-ever athletes is the new full-time assistant coach of the University of B.C. Thunderbirds swimming program.

Brian Johns, a former world record holder, threetime Olympian and fivetime national champion at UBC as an athlete, has made the seamless transition from the pool to the deck and will continue to be a huge asset for both the men’s and women’s teams to benefit from.

Johns has spent the last two-and-a-half seasons working as a part-time assistant with the Thunderbirds. Following the recent UBC Sport Review, the swim team was given an additional full-time coaching position, and according to head coach Steve Price, having Johns take

the job was a no brainer.

“He is a Thunderbird through and through and obviously this is great for the program and our athletes,”said Price.“He has developed himself inside the program first as an athlete and now as a coach. Being a well-sought-after coach across the country he certainly had other job opportunities, so we feel very fortunate that he chose to stay here at UBC” “I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity

by Steve to go right from the pool into coaching,” said Johns. “This is the right spot for me at this time. I’m learning a lot and getting the chance to grow as a coach, but more importantly we are building something special here and I am happy to be a part of it.”

Johns first came to UBC in December 2000 and swam five seasons for the ‘Birds from 2000 to 2003 and 2005 to 2007, winning a Canadian InterUniversity Sport national championship in each of his five seasons. During his CIS career he became the most decorated swimmer in UBC history winning 33 CIS gold medals and one CIS silver medal. In fact, the silver came in his very first CIS final during his first year with UBC, after that he never lost another final.

He was also named the CIS Swimmer of the Year three times (2002, 2003, and 2007) and the CIS Male Athlete of the Year in 2002.

On the international stage, Johns represented Canada at three Olympic Games (2000, 2004, and 2008). At the Sydney Games he finished 15th in the 200-metre individual medley and seventh in the four-by-200-metre freestyle relay. In Athens he

was 15th in the 400-metre individual medley and fifth in the four-by- 200-metre freestyle relay and in Beijing he had his best individual result, making the final of the 400-metre individual medley and placing seventh. He also earned a fifth place finish in the four-by-200-metre freestyle relay.

He is also a former world record holder in the 400-metre individual medley (short course) clocking a time of 4:02.72 back in 2003. The time still remains a Canadian record today. He also still holds the Canadian record in the 200-metre individual medley (short course) and 400-metre individual medley (long course).

Other accolades include three Commonwealth Games medals (two silver and a bronze), three World

Championship medals (a silver and two bronze), and a gold medal at the 2007 World University Games.

It’s that international success that Johns will be looking to share with the next crop of Thunderbirds.

“One of the biggest goals is not just being good at the varsity level,” said Johns. “We need to re-establish ourselves on the international scene. In the past we have fallen off a bit, but we have some young swimmers with the capabilities to get to that level as long as we can provide them with the foundation and environment to allow that to happen. It starts with getting the age group programs more involved with what we are doing at the varsity level so that we can help develop swimmers even before they are in univer-

sports Richmond summer sports traditions continue this weekend

Fans encouraged to wear team colours at Nations Cup tions Cup is three days of “football” featuring men’s and women’s teams— at various age groups—playing for national pride and bragging rights. At the elite level, the calibre has matched the level of play with such international players as Eric Ross (Newcastle United), Jim Gabriel (Everton), Alex Reid (Glasgow Rangers) and Carl Velentine (Vancouver Whitecaps and West Bromwich Albion) suiting up along with Canadian pros Dale Mitch-

by Don Fennell Sports Editor One of the great pleasures for sports fans is cheering their favourite team onto victory. But wearing the team’s colours while doing so makes the experience doubly rewarding.

On the heels of the 2014 World Cup, which will enter the history books as one of the most celebrated ever, the 35th annual Nations Cup kicks off Friday in Richmond with the promise to deliver the same energy and excitement that defined the month-long tournament in Brazil. Jeff Wilson, the longtime chair of Western Canada’s premier amateur soccer tournament, encourages fans to support their teams throughout this weekend by wearing the club’s jersey or colours.

“One of the neat things during the World Cup was seeing people of all ages wearing their favourite team’s kit,” says Wilson. “Don’t put them back in the drawer for another four years.

Continue wearing them at our tournament.”

Sitting in his downtown Vancouver office Wednesday, Wilson found himself hoping that all the necessary details from an organizational perspective for the upcoming three-day Nations Cup have been addressed.

“All of us involved in the organizing committee are players at heart ,” he says. “We all have a sense of appreciation for the fact the Nations Cup is upon us, but being players, we also are able to relate to showing up in flip-flops with a kit bag over our shoulder looking for where our teammates are gathering and the sense of excitement and anxiousness to play the games.”

One of the reasons for the great interest in this year’s World Cup was

ell, Colin Miller, Stephen Burns, Jason Levitt, Sammy Saundh and Pat Onstad among others.

The unique concept of grouping players based on their ethnic backgrounds or countries of origin creates an excitement that has made the Nations Cup a summer ritual among the soccer community. Attracting more than 1,000 players, the event annually averages more than 5,000 spectators over the weekend. Admission is free.

Nations Cup The 35th annual Nations Cup, widely reputed to be Western Canada’s top amateur soccer tournament, kicks off this evening and continues through Sunday, with finals in several divisions to be played at Hugh Boyd Park.

Highlights include:

FRIDAY 6:30 p.m.—Men’s Open Division play kicks off at Boyd; Saudi Arabia vs. Ireland and Portugal vs. Germany.

SUNDAY never knowing for sure which teams were going to win. Tongue in cheek, he says it was almost if the World Cup took a page out of the Nations Cup book.

“One of the things that made the World Cup so compelling was the parity, especially in the group stage, where teams like Chile did very well,”

says Wilson.

“Great parity is something we’ve always had in the Nations Cup. Of course there are always perennial favorites, but we’ve also seen many teams go from obscurity, barely qualifying, go through to the semifinals the following year.”

Weather forecast won’t dampen spirits at Dolphin Classic

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

Don Fennell photo Dolphin Basketball Classic mainstays, Steve Lee and the Runnin Rebels will be back for the 2014 edition.

A mixed bag is in this weekend’s local weather forecast, but no level of precipitation will dampen the spirits at one of North America’s most popular playground basketball tournaments tipping off Friday in Richmond.

Gym time has been arranged should climate force any of the games indoors, which occurred a few years ago, but one certainty is that the 29th annual Dolphin Basketball Classic will produce its usual set of highlights.

Sporting a four-on-four format, modelled along the lines of New York’s famous Rucker Park, the Dolphin Classic has grown from modest beginnings—a group of high school friends started the tournament, originally only for Richmond hoopsters—at Dolphin Park (thus the name)

in 1986. It didn’t take long for it to grow and feature its first “import” players, and today is recognized as one of the biggest events of its kind.

While the tournament retains its folksy community roots, it’s also evolved to include some of the finest young basketball talent in the region. And with appearances from the likes of Jamal Crawford, it’s even featured NBA talent.

The 2014 edition being played this weekend on the outdoor pavement at Thompson Community Centre, is already drawing considerable excitement with the anticipated return of the Monkeys.

While this lineup is different from the original squad, which was one of the most popular to ever lace ‘em up in the tournament, the new Monkeys are promising to display the good nature and athleticism of their predecessors.

Admission is free.

Dolphin Basketball Classic The 29th annual Dolphin Basketball Classic, a four-on-four playground tournament featuring elite B.C. hoop players, tips off this afternoon and continues through Sunday at Thompson Community Centre. Highlights include:

FRIDAY 5 p.m.—Play tips off with Birds vs. AIA, Kermodes vs. T-Birds.

Additional games at 6, 7 and 8 p.m.

SATURDAY 10 a.m.—Play resumes with West Coast Warriors vs. AIA and Pippen Ain’t Easy vs. Team 604.

Additional games begin every hour from 11 a.m. through 8 p.m.

SUNDAY 9 a.m.—Runnin Rebels vs. Blacktop Rainmen, Women’s quarter-final 10 a.m.—Monkeys vs. AIA, Women’s quarter-final 2 11 a.m.—X-Falcons vs. UFV, Women’s quarter-final 3 12 p.m.—Birds vs. West Coast Warriors, Women’s quarter-final 4 1 p.m.—Men’s quarter-final 1 2 p.m.—Men’s quarter-final 2, Women’s semifinal 1 3 p.m.—Men’s semifinal 1, Women’s semifinal 2 4 p.m.—Men’s semifinal 2 5 p.m.—Women’s final 6 p.m.—Three-point and slam dunk contests 7:30 p.m.—Men’s final

Peewee Chuckers making great strides Richmond AAA team poised to make solid run at provincial baseball championship

by Don Fennell Sports Editor League play may be winding down for the Richmond City Chuckers, but the summer is only starting to heat up for the Peewee AAA team.

Managed by veteran skipper Scott Lunny, who grew up playing ball in the city, the under-13 side sports an 8-1 league record (13-4 overall) heading into this weekend’s final series of games wrapping up Sunday at Brighouse Park. And while Lunny isn’t making any bold predictions, he does like his team’s chance of contending for the B.C. banner at the provincial championship, to be played over the August long weekend in Cloverdale. But, he stresses, Richmond will be one of as many as 14—the number of teams in the tournament—that could win it all.

“Any team has a realistic chance just by getting in,” said Lunny. “Last year, Nanaimo—which improved throughout the season—made it as a wildcard and made it all the way to Sunday’s semifinals.”

Richmond’s Peewee AA team is proving to be no slouch either, and could also make it to the B.C. championship, said Lunny.

Both teams are coming off second-place finishes at the Valley of Champions tournament last weekend in the Okanagan. The scorching heat, coupled with quality opponents, served as a good test for both teams’ perseverance.

Playing in Kelowna, the Peewee AAAs reached the final with a 5-0 record before bowing to league-rival Abbotsford 6-4.

Richmond, which defeated White Rock, Victoria, Rutland and Red Deer in pool play and Coquitlam by a 20-7 count in the semis, displayed hot bats throughout the tournament, scoring 80

runs in the first five games while giving up only 18. But the final game against Abbotsford was a lot closer, thanks to the quality pitching of both teams. The Chuckers had the bases loaded with two out in the seventh and last inning but were unable to cash in.

The Chuckers gained a measure of revenge against Abbotsford Wednesday, winning a league game between the two teams 6-5 in

Richmond.

The AAs, meanwhile, played in Penticton where they defeated the host team, Nanaimo and Jasper and lost to Duncan in round-robin play, and then lost 11-1 to the Duncan squad—sporting particularly strong pitching—in the final. Richmond was paced by its strong defensive play.

Lunny said he is pleased with the overall program at the Peewee level in Richmond, and

ABBOTSFORD INTERNATIONAL A

believes the deep pool of talented players are making strong, steady progress.

“We’ve also got a strong group of players coming up, and we want to continue to see lots of kids playing baseball in the future at the Bantam, Midget and Junior levels,” he said.

Lunny said having as many kids as possible experience playing at the highest level possible can only help them going forward—whether they’re playing solely for the love of the game or hoping to make it to the Major Leagues.

“The kids want to play at the highest level, especially when they see the older kids playing there,” he said. “And we want to instill pride in the (Richmond City Baseball) association. I think there are enough talented athletes to make Richmond one of the best in the province. I know my son, who plays Bantam AAA, looks up to a guy like (Richmond City Baseball graduate) Ryan Pidhaichuk (who is playing at the University of Kansas).

He came out to a couple of practices recently and has shown what the kids can aspire to.”

Lunny is also proud of Richmond’s focus on developing fundamentals, helping every player to go forward with confidence no matter what team they play on.

“One of our goals has been to get the players to a point where they know basic baseball and are comfortable even on a select team and they’re not having to re-learn things or tear down what they’ve learned,” he said.

“That’s been a key to the AAA Chuckers’ success. Everybody knows their roles and everyone is a good fit. Of our 12 players, we probably have nine who pitching in a rotation. But just as important as pitching is good defence and scoring when you get the opportunity. We’ve been fortunate to have all those.”

Local soccer lads return from ‘trip of a lifetime’ Gaunder, Dosanjh join Team Excel mates at San Marino Cup in Italy It was a trip Richmond’s Hayden Gaunder and Darien Dosanjh won’t soon forget.

The two young soccer players were part of the Excel Soccer Academy team that represented B.C. in the 14th edition of the San Marino Cup, which just wrapped up last week in Italy. The team of 15 from the North Vancouver-based academy won the B pool.

“A trip of a lifetime”, said Dosanjh. “I got to play soccer and make friends, while getting to know another culture.”

Added Gaunder: ““I (was) excited to participate in this great tournament and also see the European youth teams.”

The largest Italian youth soccer tournament for boys and girls, featuring 75 teams and 2,000 participants from 18 countries, coincided with the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The Republic of San Marino, a tiny micro-state located within the larger country of Italy, occupies 61 square kilometres on the Italian Peninsula, and it is home to just over 30,000 people.

After a slow start and finishing the round robin play with a record of one win, one tie and one loss, Excel Soccer advanced to the B pool where they met Noga Boys

from the U.S. in the final. Excel Soccer dominated the match to win 4-0 to claim first place in the B pool.

“We felt that although we didn’t have a lot of prep time with the team, with the talent we have, we had a really good chance of doing well at this tournament”, said Josh Smith, the head coach. “We did not advance to the A pool finals, but we finished strong and won first place in the B pool. I am very proud of the boys and I believe this has been a fantastic experience for them.”

After the tournament, the players got the opportunity to train at the Italian National Training Centre in Coeverciano and watch the World Cup final while in Montecatini. The team is now spending its remaining days of its two-week adventure touring Italy and enjoying the food and culture.

“The boys improved with each game and were unfortunate not to advance to the A finals. Although winning is the objective we don’t gauge the trip by wins and losses,” said Excel founder Tony Pensato.

“These boys are all winners having experienced the culture and soccer in Italy the past two weeks.”

Metrotown modern living at Burnaby’s Station Square

By Kerry Vital

Anthem Properties and Beedie Living have teamed up to bring Station Square to Burnaby’s Metrotown neighbourhood.

With a fantastic location, beautiful homes and plenty of amenities, it’s no surprise that people from all over the Lower Mainland are flocking to it.

“Burnaby is a sought-after city to live in,” says Greg Zayadi, vice-president of sales and marketing for Anthem Properties.

“This is an incredible little neighbourhood we’re creating, and a lot of people want to live here.”

The second tower at Station Square recently started sales, and it has already proven incredibly popular.

The homes include quartz countertops with marble accents, stainless-steel appliances and flat-panel laminate cabinetry in the kitchens, as well as a soaker tub in the bathroom and wood laminate flooring in the living areas and bedrooms. Each home has its own generous balcony, perfect for entertaining or

relaxing and enjoying the view.

Homeowners at Station Square will have access to plenty of amenities, including nearly an acre of indoor and outdoor amenity space, Zayadi says. The first and second tower will share some of their amenities, including an infrared sauna, fitness facility, entertainment lounge with a gourmet kitchen, indoor/outdoor seating and outdoor dining areas and a reflecting pool.

Station Square will eventually include five towers and tons of retail and commercial space. Among the confirmed tenants are Rexall, Save On Foods, TD Canada Trust and Caffe Artigiano.

There will also be direct access to SkyTrain and transit.

If you choose to venture off your property, Metrotown offers plenty of options for shopping, dining, leisure and recreation, including several parks and other green spaces. You’ll also be close to Simon Fraser University and other education options.

Morningstar Homes is giving buyers the opportunity to live at the top of the world at The Summit at Grant Hill, their first project in Maple Ridge. With spacious fourbedroom homes, amazing views and 1/2 acre homesites, there is a lot to love.

Morningstar shines at The Summit at Grant Hill

By Kerry Vital

You’ll be living at the top of the world at Morningstar Homes’ newest project, The Summit at Grant Hill in Maple Ridge.

“We haven’t built in Maple Ridge before,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “Where else can you get a 3,900-square-foot luxury home on a ½ acre homesite for an amazing price?

You just can’t.”

Morningstar has long been known for its high-quality finishings and gorgeous homes, and this is certainly continuing at The Summit at Grant Hill.

“This is a really beautiful area,” Calahan says. “We’re offering big value and luxury combined – the best of both worlds – and at an exciting price!”

The four-bedroom homes range from 3,840 to 3,900 square feet, with three-car garages, unfinished basements and vaulted ceilings on the second floor.

“These are some of our best designs ever,” says Calahan. “We always do something new that’s specific to the neighbourhood, and add new twists.”

Those twists include walls of windows that let the natural light pour into your space, and allow for some seriously gorgeous views.

“These homes are really luxurious,” says Calahan. “We’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings with grand foyers to welcome you, extra-large kitchens that are truly the heart of the home and elegant linear fireplaces that make a statement.”

Window seats for admiring the view are included in most bedrooms, and the spalike ensuite is truly huge, with a stand-alone tub and semi-frameless five-foot shower with a seat. The master bedrooms are always spectacular in Morningstar homes, and this one at The Summit at Grant Hill is no exception. The large windows are continued here, and Morningstar is offering buyers the ability to include a master bedroom sitting room as part of their floorplan.

Other possible customized options include glass hand rails on the stairs, a deluxe finished basement with a wet bar or granite island

table extension in the kitchen, among others.

The 1/2 acre homesite gives homeowners the ability to install a swimming pool, tennis court or putting green, Calahan points out.

“This is Maple Ridge like you’ve never seen it before!” she says.

The Summit at Grant Hill is close to Maple Ridge’s downtown, as well as bus routes and the West Coast Express. Commuting will be easy via the Golden Ears Bridge.

“It’s really not far away at all,” says Calahan.

Homes at The Summit at Grant Hill start at $690,000 plus GST. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-4054437 or stop by the sales centre at 25465 Godwin Drive, Maple Ridge.

“We found a family-size home with a resort lifestyle.”

A convenient commute and community trails had the Johnson family focused on North Delta when they discovered Lakeside at Sunstone by Polygon. They were looking for a single-family home but got all the room they wanted – with an attainable price tag – at Lakeside. “The Sunstone Clubhouse swimming pool will be great for Myelle,” says Eddie, “and the fenced backyard will be Milo’s domain.” With greenways, bike trails, good schools and a farmer’s market all within walking distance the Johnson’s are excited about the future. “Lakeside really is the perfect package for us.”

www.richmond.ca/ register Mayor Malcolm Brodie presented a sustainability certificate to some Grade 4/5 Jessie Wowk Elementary School students to recognize their Climate Change Showdown win for the most greenhouse gases reduced. The showdown is a program that teaches students about climate change and the many things people can do to address this problem. On average, each student from Jessie Wowk’s Grade 4/5 class reduced their greenhouse gas emissions by 1.85 tonnes, which equalled a class total of 50 tonnes. The not-for-profit BC Sustainable Energy Association, in partnership with the City of Richmond, delivered the Climate Change Showdown program to elementary schools classes.

It was fun in the sun at Fraserview Care Lodge on June 26th, as the lodge hosted its first ever Care Fair Garden Party. Fraserview’s award-winning garden—complete with live jazz music—served as the perfect back-drop for a number of wellness displays and information booths. Q & A sessions included brain health, led by Krista Frazee from the Alzheimer’s Association, mental fitness for life with Dr. Sandra Cusack (centre), natural solutions for chronic pain with Dr. Carin Matsushita, counseling and admissions transitions with Fraserview administrator Donna Baron (right) and counsellor Karyna Matsuk, and demonstrations by Coreena Robertson (left), the creator of the Boomerang Life Series, which helps those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Kudos is a weekly feature showcasing announcements, achievements and good deeds happening around town.

The cheque was presented by Magdalen Leung, foundation chair of the rotary club, and Joanna Ko, the club’s president, to Glenn Kishi, representing the Feed-U-Cate 38 program, at the Richmond Board of Education meeting earlier this month. The money will benefit the district’s school breakfast program.

New Teamsters advertisements accuses furniture giant of bullying workers

New from IKEA:

BĂ&#x153;LLY

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

200+ VEHICLES, MANY UNRESERVED!

Martin van den Hemel photo Josh Dallas, who plays Prince Charming, was among the stars from the ABC hit fantasy series Once Upon a Time in Steveston this week, shooting Season 4 of the show. See more photos, page 13.

The union representing picketing workers at Richmond IKEA is increasing pressure on the Swedish furniture retailer to negotiate an end to a 14-month labour dispute.

Teamsters Local 213 is taking out advertisements depicting a broken bookcase with the name BĂźllyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a sarcastic take on the popular Billy bookcases sold at IKEA. The ad, the first of its type since the dispute began in May 2013, accuses IKEA of making billions while bullying workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IKEA Corporate is forcing workers to take a lot lessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and is locking them out until they give in,â&#x20AC;? reads the ad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell IKEA to treat its workers fairly. Go IKEA-freeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shop at any location or online until it does.â&#x20AC;?

Teamsters representative Anita Dawson said word from the picket line suggests some shoppers are surprised to see pickets, unaware a labour dispute is still going on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically to reinvigorate the awareness that this is still ongoing, and IKEA is still not participating in negotiations,â&#x20AC;? said Dawson.

Approximately 325 unionized workers have been out of work

Something from IKEA is broken.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moved from selling bookcases to selling out its valued workers. $&%$& ( ' $& # +$& &' ($ ( !$( ! '' - # ' !$ # ( " $)( )#( ! ( , * # !! ($ (& ( (' +$& &' &!, $ & - # $#.( ' $% ( #, !$ ( $# $& $#! # )#( ! ( $ '

A new Teamsters ad is aimed at bringing public awareness to the ongoing labour dispute at IKEA.

for over a year. The Jacombs Road store remains open, albeit with reduced service.

So much time has passed, nine workers have had babies during the dispute, said Dawson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives still go on, and you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hardship just being a single personâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a young child to take care of too.â&#x20AC;?

Contract talks have been frozen since December, according to Dawson. IKEA is waiting for a B.C. Labour Board ruling on a union application to clarify the status of 35 workers who crossed the picket line. But that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in the way of talks, Dawson said.
