Mark Glavina: owner and art instructor at Steveston’s Phoenix Art Workshop, who has also worked with local schools to develop art programs, murals and public art projects.

What does being Canadian mean to you?

Being Canadian is a fortune, rich in quality of life, freedom and opportunity. However, with that comes a responsibility to engage with our community, participate and ensure it remains a place of the people and for the people.

How will you celebrate Canada Day? Enjoying the day with friends, family and watching the Euro Cup at Bean and Beyond Cafe in Steveston.

quote of the week

“It’s amazing to see the sense of community these relays bring, as so many inspiring people gather in one place.”

— Sam Wade, after three 24-hour relays.

Jonathan Grand Pierre: Restaurateur and entrepreneur Nooch Snack & Grill and a generous contributor to the community.

What does being Canadian mean to you?

It is with great pride that I can call myself a Canadian citizen for a myriad of reasons. We are truly a peace-loving nation that embraces the most fundamental element of human nature: love.

We have a rich history, which distinguishes us from other countries and our immigration laws reflect the multicultural populace we have been building for decades now — I am proud to be one of those immigrants. Lastly, being a Canadian, to me, means that I belong to a progressive nation whose values and laws accept all types of diversity including religion, gender, sexuality and race.

How will you celebrate Canada Day? I will be celebrating Canada Day with friends and family at the Steveston Salmon Festival, enjoying the parade and the food. Inevitably, there will be an energetic, collective energy of Canadian pride throughout Richmond, and I want to be in amongst the crowds and enjoying the moment.

Nafisah Baksh: Richmond News youth columnist and a student at Langara College.

What does being Canadian mean to you?

Being a Canadian means I have the freedom to say what I want, do as I please and live as I wish. It means I have the right to vote for our government, without fear or pressure. It means I have the opportunity to interact with people from various cultures, all of whom call Canada home. And, of course, being Canadian gives me bragging rights when it comes to all things hockey.

Most importantly, being a Canadian means having the right to follow my dreams. My parents immigrated here and I can confidently say, I’m happy they did.

For now, I could not picture living anywhere else.

How will you celebrate Canada Day? I will be down in Steveston village to watch the Canada Day parade and stay for the Steveston Salmon Festival. I’ll stand in a huge line to have some barbecued salmon, which will be well worth the wait. It’s always nice to go down to the village on Canada Day to enjoy the food and other attractions, as well as see a few familiar faces.

diverse sexual preferences — a country that believes deeply in democracy for all its citizens.

Most of all, being a Canadian means having my rights and freedoms rigorously defended.

I once asked a new friend who had immigrated to Canada from a middle European country why she had come here as she obviously loved her own country very much. She said, “Because I can speak my

mind.” That said it all!

How will you celebrate Canada Day? I celebrate being a Canadian by attending risky and/or challenging arts events, which stretch my mind and make me think about my beliefs — events that might not be accepted in less open countries. And I attend our wonderful Salmon Festival on July 1. I eat great seafood and enjoy raucous music in the unique and friendly village of Steveston.

Clark McGuire: (white shirt) A semi-retired Richmond paramedic of 38 years, has just returned from Europe, where he

What does being a Canadian mean to you?

It means freedom to me — we can pursue any dream, any job, read anything, speak our minds, say anything out loud without fear.

To be Canadian is to allow your neighbours to believe whatever they want, to be fair and polite and to help those that need it.

How will you celebrate Canada Day? I usually have a barbecue with family and friends, drink some wine and beers and listen to music with a flag or two flying.

What does being Canadian mean to you?

Being Canadian comes with a great sense of pride.

Richness to me is being Canadian. I love the natural beauty of British Columbia and I enjoy living in a country that is free, open and equal. Canadians are extremely friendly and well

known in the world for our strong attributes.

We respect others from different racial and cultural backgrounds and provide them with an all-inclusive environment that embraces cultural diversity.

How will you celebrate Canada Day? We have plans for a family barbecue to celebrate Canada Day on the eve and I will be joining friends at the Salmon Fest in Richmond.

Being Canadian, to me, means living in one of the best countries in the world.

It is a country where citizens respect each other and cultural diversity is not only respected, but also appreciated.

How will you celebrate Canada Day? As far as celebrating Canada Day is concerned, I will be attending a wedding in the morning and go to Steveston for the festivities in the afternoon.

What does being Canadian mean to you?

Being Canadian is both a privilege and a responsibility.

There’s a reason why Americans are known to wear our flag when they travel. As Canadians, we are open to diversity and other cultures. We hold doors open for others and say ‘thank you.’

It’s a quiet pride we carry — outside of the hockey world. I’m thankful to have grown up in such an amazing country that allows one the freedom to chase after his or her dreams, something I try to take advantage of every day.

How will you celebrate Canada Day? The only place to be on Canada Day is at the Salmon Festival in Steveston. So I plan on being there with my family to watch the amazing parade put on each year and take part in festivities.

Running for cancer in wee hours

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

The time on the clock read 3:19 a.m. when some of Peter Grant’s fellow runners on the “TooManyReasons” team noticed he’d clocked up 35 kilometres.

There are many things Grant has dreamed of doing in the wee hours — running a marathon wasn’t one of them.

He was one of hundreds of runners and walkers taking part in the annual 12hour Relay for Life on June

Peter Grant ran 42.2 kilometres at the 12-hour Relay for Life at the oval on June 16. At 211 laps around the 200-metre track, he became the first person to run “the marathon” at the oval.

“But the environment keeps you going, there are bands playing and people were cheering me on.”

And at exactly 5:27 a.m., Grant passed the 42.2 kilometre mark, chalking up an amazing 211 laps of the 200-metre track to become the first person to run “the marathon” at the oval.

“Of course, with the ceremonial laps, I did more than that distance,” Grant joked.

“It’s really a way of attempting to do something.

16, held at the Richmond Olympic Oval in aid of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Grant, like many of the competitors, were hurting bad. But they were all driven on by a common bond of being touched in some way by cancer.

Grant’s wife recently had breast cancer, he’s lost a brother-in-law to cancer and two more relatives were diagnosed with the disease 18 months ago.

So, with only another seven kilometres left to complete the official marathon distance, and more than two hours left to do it, Grant stepped off the track for a quick leg massage before soldiering on.

“These other ladies started to count and by 3:18 a.m., it was noticed that I’d done 35 kilometres and there was still two hours to go,” said Grant, 50, who’s run 21 full marathons.

“It was definitely challenging at that time of the morning, especially with no sleep.

“It’s feeling like you’re really doing something.

When you’re there, there’s people all around you that have suffered with cancer and that motivates you.”

His team raised more than $9,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society, before Grant admitted to a rather strange side effect from running around the tight oval track.

“I did feel like I was still turning left for quite a while after finishing.”

Annual Community Update Message from Rob Our government has had a busy year! Our spring session brought in many pieces of legislation, including commitments to protect our children, and to make our roads and communities safer. Our government is proud of the work done to rebuild our triple A credit rating. We are also continuing our work on growing and diversifying our economy by investing strategically in the Pacific Gateway, and have created the ‘Canada Starts Here: BC Jobs Plan’, which is already producing results. Over 50,000 jobs have been created in the past year alone.

Our Province has great possibilities for future growth and economic stability, which translates to new jobs and job security. We have also ensured fiscal responsibility though the introduction of a B.C. Municipal Auditor General. Our Government’s continued strong fiscal management will help us keep competitive with international markets. We have seen that governments who have failed to be fiscally responsible have been held to account and are now obligated to make draconian cuts in order to balance their books.

We are so lucky to live in this beautiful Province. With B.C.’s remarkably diverse population, natural resources and gateway location, strong fiscal management is the key for British Columbia’s continued bright future.

Coach faces trip charge

Independently Owned & Operated

BY STEPHANIE IP The Province

Shocking footage of a hockey coach apparently tripping a 13-year-old player after a game, leaving the boy with a broken wrist, has led to police recommending an assault charge.

“I don’t ever want to see that coach on a bench behind kids ever again,” said Richmond Steel team manager Tammy Hohlweg of the man coaching the Hornets, who won Saturday’s game 5-4.

“It’s just horrible that a coach would go after a child like that and what’s even more horrible is that his team won.”

The footage, shot by a parent of a Richmond Steel player, shows the two teams preparing to shake hands following the game at the University of B.C.’s Thunderbird Arena. The coach, Martin Tremblay, can be seen moving down the line before sticking out his right foot.

A player in a blue Steel jersey is then seen falling, causing a second player to go down as well.

Later footage also shows the man trading words with a referee while a Steel coach standing in shock is ushered off the ice.

A Hornets player is also caught on camera throwing a water bottle at the bleachers while others on his team applaud and gesture with their arms open.

The Hornets coach also gives a middle

Tremblay has been suspended from the Vancouver Minor Hockey Association (VMHA) as a result, Dion DeMarco of the association told The Province newspaper.

The suspension is pending a disciplinary hearing with Tremblay, who coached with the VMHA last season. It was his first year in the league, DeMarco said, but not his first year as a coach.

Hohlweg said the boy’s family is keeping things low-key and the boy now wears a cast on his wrist. Investigators are recommending to Crown a charge of assault against the coach. The Hornets couldn’t be reached for comment.

Liquor laws hurt business

I

t’s time for the province to review its confounding liquor licensing laws.

Good ideas, some that are crucial to the survival of a business, are consistently shot down based on arbitrary and absurd rules, some of which were written during the prohibition era.

Vancouver’s hallowed Rio Theatre nearly went belly up this year when it was caught in liquor licence limbo. More recently, a Vancouver entrepreneur tried to open an establishment that caters to video game fans, but the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, drunk on its own power, told him to choose between serving food and drinks, or letting people play video games. Makes perfect sense.

Park Royal is pitching the idea of a VIP, grown-uporiented movie theatre that would serve wine in North Vancouver, and the city’s Corner Store is hoping to serve its loyal customers drinks in a licensed environment this summer — the latter may be in luck, but the former is looking at long odds.

Despite grassroots campaigns, media backlash, and even bureaucrats admitting the laws make no sense, the provincial government has shown scant interest in updating its B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Act. One would think this would be an easy, cheap and popular pre-election gift from the floundering B.C. Liberals.

(Those would be the B.C. Liberals who constantly remind us they are the party of what they call “free enterprise.”)

No one is asking for brass taps to be installed at public water fountains. All we’re asking for is a sober second look at our antiquated legislation.

Cheers to that.

CHOICE WORDS

Obscure signs hard to obey The Editor, Recently, I was ticketed heading south on Highway 99 near the Steveston exit for driving in the HOV lane. I was not speeding, I was driving with a passenger, and so when I was pulled over by the police — along with many other cars — I was puzzled by the events.

Apparently, there was a sign indicating the lane would shortly be restricted to buses only, and subsequently I noticed the usual sign indicating two-passenger vehicles had been blacked out.

Whatever changes made to the HOV lane were very unclearly marked, otherwise there would not be a line of cars pulled over.

If there is going to be an important change in signs on a congested and fast moving highway, there should be a neon warning sign with flashing lights. Another concern is the potential for accidents occurring if drivers are required to merge to alternate lanes with little notice.

I don’t have an issue with paying a ticket if I knowingly ignore signs. However, in this case, it would have been more appropriate to be given a warning, as the changes to lane restrictions were not clearly indicated to the average driver.

Beware the wrath of invisible giants By now, you’ve heard about Karen Klein, the bullied bus monitor from upstate New York who is enjoying a massive financial windfall thanks to a Good Samaritan from Toronto.

Klein was viciously taunted and teased, to the point of tears, by some Grade 7 students. Another student videotaped the little twerps, and put it online. It went viral. The internet crashed down like Thor’s hammer, subjecting the bullies to ridicule and giving Klein a giant pile of cash ($655,000 and rising as I write this).

This is the act of the invisible giant. It is sometimes kind and sometimes malevolent, and you had better not piss it off.

The thing about the internet is that anyone might be famous and important to hundreds of thousands of people, and you might not know it. For example, have you ever heard of Mike Krahulik?

Paul Christoforo hadn’t.

In the winter of 2011, Christoforo, a small-time public relations guy working for a niche video game hardware company, got into a nasty email exchange with a customer.

The customer forwarded the emails to, among others, Krahulik, who draws a web comic called Penny Arcade.

Penny Arcade has more than 3.5 million readers.

Krahulik fired back an email saying that the firm

Matthew Claxton PAINFUL TRUTH

Christoforo represented wouldn’t get a booth at the upcoming PAX videogaming convention in Boston.

Christoforo sent this masterpiece of spelling, punctuation, and grammar: “Were in 6 countries and you’re not going to take my money for a booth that’s a crock I can guarantee I’ll get a booth if I want one money buys a lot and connections go even further. He’s a native Bostonian from Little Italy.

Who are you again?”

Oops. Krahulik pointed out who he was, and that PAX was, in fact, his show (it stands for Penny Arcade Expo). Then he published the email chain, and the web gleefully kicked Christoforo in the teeth for a while, turning him into a meme and a byword for arrogance and poor customer relations.

The company he had been working for practically broke the sound barrier putting as much distance between themselves and their former PR guy. They didn’t do it fast enough to avoid a deluge of negative reviews for their products, most directly linked to “customer service.”

I could dig out half a dozen similar cases: the

ongoing Operation Bear Love Good, Cancer Bad campaign, which raised $220,000 for charities and emerged from a spat between a web cartoonist and a lawyer.

Groups like Anonymous have tracked down and publicly named people filmed abusing cats.

Twitter users have managed to find everything from stolen cellphones to bicycles to cars by broadcasting the details of a theft and drawing thousands of pairs of eyes to the search.

There seem to be a few general rules to avoid incurring the wrath of the internet. First, don’t be a jerk. Yes, most trolls, halfwits, and blowhards go unpunished for their bad behaviour. Most is not none.

Second, don’t poke people who are internet famous.

Thirdly, anyone can be internet famous. I know better than to get into a fight with say, John Scalzi, Wil Wheaton, or 4chan.

Don’t know who they are?

Millions do, and those millions will jump to their defense if you are enough of a dirt-brained jackass.

The internet’s anonymity makes a lot of people into jerks. But it will also punish bad behaviour and reward the deserving. It’s a capricious giant. Toy with it at your peril.

by an arterial street and the height has been dropped a bit is bureaucratic manipulation at its worst.

If this bending of the official community plan is allowed to continue, Richmond is in big trouble.

Having multitudes of cars going in and out of developments such as this one increases local pollution, noise and risk of accidents, while decreasing pedestrian safety.

Having to add extra traffic lights will just serve to “harden the arteries.” Traffic in downtown Richmond is at virtual gridlock because of the multitudes of concrete towers sprouting up literally one new one every week.

But still council allows that destructive and environmentally damaging trend to continue. We need to act now to save our precious community and preserve the quality of our neighbourhoods for our children.

I will certainly not be voting for the six councillors who supported this development.

The Editor, Re: “Townhouse project gets green light,” News, June 20.

To the caring citizens living near Maple and No. 2 roads, may I first offer my sympathy to you over city council’s decision to allow yet another developer to proceed with a damaging and unwanted housing project.

I am quite frankly appalled that council members could blatantly ignore such a massive cry of protest over the negative impacts such a development will have on your quality of life.

For simplicity’s sake, based on an average fourperson household, your petition of 500 signatures represents almost 150 plus households speaking against this.

City council needs to wake up to the fact that the character of a neighbourhood is at the top of the list of deciding factors as to why people chose to live there.

A high density townhouse development does not belong in the middle of a quiet single-family residential area. Council’s argument that it’s okay because it’s served

The Editor, I see the RCMP are now demanding that taxpayers build them a 100-seat bar at the new facility in Surrey so they can serve alcohol to their members.

Considering all the recent problems with alcoholism in the RCMP and the behaviour of infamous officers like Monty Robinson, is it such a wise idea? I’m sure “coerce-a-colleague” night on Fridays will be popular, but how is any of this helping in regaining the public’s trust or confidence?

I assume all the officers who drink there will be taking a taxi or public transit home?

In my opinion, there is no room for alcohol in the workplace under any circumstance. Perhaps, as a compromise, we could set up a permanent counter attack road block outside the headquarters to reassure the public?

I personally think this whole idea is outrageous.

Maybe while we’re at it, we can built them an adult video store? The RCMP view the public’s opinion as something to be ignored. I guess we are simply here to pick up the tab no matter the cost, monetary or otherwise.

Students fight climate change

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Mayor Malcolm Brodie presents the Division One Grade 6/7 class of Archibald Blair elementary with a certificate of achievement for taking the top prize at the Climate Change Showdown.

A

rchibald Blair elementary’s division one grade six/seven class took top prize this year in the city’s Climate Change showdown — a program that educates students on climate change and energy conservation.

The class reduced their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 tonnes, translating to roughly 1.4 tonnes per student.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie publicly recognized the class’ efforts Monday (June 25) during the council meeting where he presented a sustainability certificate of achievement.

“All Richmond students

who participated in this year’s Climate Change Showdown should be commended for their leadership action,” said Brodie.

“They are great examples, not only for their peers, but for the entire community as well.”

More than 1,300 elementary school students from 48 classrooms participated in the showdown, which consisted of an in-class workshop and a month-long takehome challenge for students and their families.

This challenge included a variety of actions such as car-free days.

The initiative was supported by the City of

Richmond and delivered by the BC Sustainable Energy Association.

In total, the students decreased their GHG emissions by more than 680 tonnes — the equivalent to removing about 140 cars from the road for an entire year.

Seventy-eight students achieved a perfect score by successfully completing all suggested actions in the challenge and reducing their GHG emissions by three tonnes.

For more information on the showdown, visit www. bcsea.org, or www.richmond. ca to learn about the city’s sustainability initiatives.

Do your homework before buying or selling a house.

Selling or buying a new house can be a complicated process and involves a lot of planning - and often a little ingenuity, too. Considering the size of the investment you have made in your house, it’s worth your while to take the time to learn how to protect it and yourself. Here are some tips to get you started: Show your house in its best light.

Your house might be competing against others in the area, so you’ll want to give yourself every possible advantage. A clean house makes a good impression and shows that the house has been well looked after. It’s what buyers want to see. A fresh coat of paint and some light decor can revitalize the interior and make it attractive and appealing. It presents a positive image of your house and can help make for a successful sale.

Stay informed about housing market conditions.

Do your research and learn what factors affect the housing market and the prices in the neighbourhood. Understand how they would apply to your house, either buying or selling it. Scan the news, real estate magazines, the Internet and any other related resources. It’s also beneficial to consult with industry professionals; mortgage brokers and realtors can advise and assist you with pricing, market conditions, financial processes and legal requirements.

Confirm that your insurance coverage is current.

If you’re having an open house, ensure your home and possessions

HOME INSURANCE WITH

EDWARD MACADAM are protected. Safely store valuables whenever you are having people passing through the house in your absence, and confirm that your insurance is both valid, and provides proper coverage for your house, personal belongings and liability.

Protect your new home.

Securing insurance for the home is usually a requirement with mortgages, so plan ahead and be prepared. Having the following information will ensure a smoother process: • Square footage and features of your home • Year your home was built, and dates any updates were completed • Type of electrical and plumbing systems in your new home • Details of your insurance history Buying or selling is a big step, so be sure to do it right the first time. To learn more about insurance and BCAA Home Insurance products, contact your nearest BCAA location and speak to a Home Insurance specialist.

CN Miracle Match Champion Child

In conjunction with the CN Canadian Women’s Open and the CN Miracle Match, each year a child Champion is selected as an ambassador for the event.

This year CN and BC Children’s Hospital are pleased to have Natasha Feuchuk as the CN Miracle Match Champion Child.

Natasha Feuchuk is a bright, vibrant 15 year old young girl who likes swimming, hip hop, skating and has a flair for the dramatic arts. But being a vivacious young girl wasn’t always the case for Natasha.

At 6 days old Natasha was diagnosed with truncus arteriosus type II, a rare complex birth defect of the heart. At

10 weeks old Natasha had her first heart surgery, and this successful repair lasted for nine years.

Natasha was in grade three when she started getting tired easily, and had chest pains.

Although she was healthy, this tiredness and pain were signs that she had outgrown her heart repair, and needed surgery to put in a larger conduit and valve.

As expected, Natasha was concerned, so she had a talk with her clinical nurse, Mandy at Children’s hospital. After Mandy explained what would happen during surgery, she gave Natasha a “Heart and

Throughout the entire process Natasha was supported by her loving family including her parents Danny and Tessa Feuchuk and her two older brothers Erik and Errol.

Soul” binder which explained all about the procedure and what to expect. This gave her confidence and reassured her.

Natasha and her family were able to tour the intensive care unit (ICU) and cardiac ward ahead of time allowing her to be more comfortable about being in the hospital.

Today Natasha is a healthy happy 15 year old thanks to the wonderful care of the staff at BC Children’s Hospital and the strong support of her friends and particularly her family who have been with her every step of the way. Natasha will need another surgery in several years (likely in her mid to late 20’s). In the meantime she is enjoying all the things teenagers enjoy.

On July 4, 2006 a very nervous Natasha was scheduled for the second open heart surgery of her young life. The surgery took over seven hours and was a success. Natasha spent two days in the ICU unit of Children’s Hospital and after four more days in the Cardiac Ward was allowed to go home.

Natasha had to follow a difficult rehab process which she did and through the help of the talented physiotherapists at BC Children’s Hospital who tried to make the exercises fun; her rehabilitation process went smoothly.

Natasha is delighted to be the CN Miracle Match Champion Child and participate in this program, which will raise much needed funds for all the children of British Columbia. "

youth, and we are extremely proud of the support that has been provided to children’s hospitals across Canada since 2006 through to the CN Miracle Match campaign.

This year, we are pleased to help the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation to continue dispensing essential pediatric care to children throughout British Columbia.”

CN and Golf Canada are pleased to announce that five pastchampionshaveconfirmed their intention to challenge for the US$2.0 million purse at the 2012 CN Canadian Women’s Open being held August 20-26 at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, BC.

CN Miracle Match is a national charitable initiative designed to rally communities across Canada behind a very worthy cause, supporting children’s hospitals. Each year since 2006, CN and Golf Canada have raised funds to support children’s hospitals in the CN Canadian Women’s Open host cities by matching funds raised through various initiatives that are connected with the championship. In the past six years, the CN Miracle Match program has raised nearly $6.5 million for children’s hospitals. "

Leading the way is defending champion Brittany Lincicome, currently the 13th ranked player in the world. Linciome will be joined by a group of former CN Canadian Women’s Open champions — world No. 4 Suzann Pettersen, world No. 8 Cristie Kerr, world No. 38 Michelle Wie and world No. 45 Katherine Hull.

FORD CROSSOVER

Flex crosses from power wagon to modern chic

BY DAVID CHAO

AND

BOB MCHUGH

Special to the News

Ford’s so called “crossover” vehicle is really a “cool looking, modern version of a ’60s power wagon. A whole new front end certainly gives the 2013 edition of the Flex a chic contemporary appearance, and Ford has packed it with even more mind-boggling technology.

The Flex is a different kind of family-size multiple seat vehicle. Yes, it has a roomy space-efficient cabin that provides generous seating room for up to seven people and it can quickly transform into a cavernous cargo hauler without having to remove any seats.

Yet, it also has the looks and performance of a cool, classy ride.

Made in Canada, the front-drive Flex comes in SE, SEL and Limited editions with prices starting at $30,999. The all-wheel drive versions are available in SEL and Limited trims, with a start price of $39,099.

An optional EcoBoost V6 engine is also (and only) available on the Limited trim version.

The upgraded base 3.5-litre V6 engine now has twin independent variable camshaft

The 2013 Ford Flex has the look and performance of a classy ride, taking inspiration from the 1960s power wagon and upgrading it. timing (Ti-VCT), which allows it to deliver an extra 25 horsepower and even better fuel economy. It’s also closer in performance to the optional twin-turbo 3.5-litre EcoBoost

V6, which is unchanged. Fuel economy is slightly better with the EcoBoost engine, however, it prefers premium fuel and, as already mentioned, it’s only available in the

top trim level.

For 2013, the Flex also comes with improved chassis dynamics and noise reduction measures. The front shock towers are now wrapped with sound absorbers and there’s upgraded body sound deadening used under dash, under hood and around the rear wheels. It also has revised spring and damper rates and a hard-mounted steering rack now provides a quicker steering ratio.

In addition to the latest MyFord Touch system, Flex can also come with driver-aid features such as adaptive cruise control with collision warning and brake support. There’s also Ford’s blind spot information system, as well as intelligent access with push-button start, remote start technology, rain-sensing wipers, a power tilt and telescopic steering column and power-fold mirrors. Heck, the Flex can even park itself, with the self-guiding park assist option.

Upgrades to MyFord Touch make the screen easier to use and faster to navigate.

Text is larger and the touch areas on the screen look and function more like buttons. see Design page 26

DriveTime Design: Exterior changes make Flex bolder, distinctive Continued from page 24 There’s also a new appearance package available with Limited and SEL trims. It includes a two-tone black roof, black mirrors, 20-inch aluminum wheels with painted pockets, leather seats and unique door trim panels.

tem is designed to help reduce head, neck and chest injuries for rear seat passengers.

Children and older passengers are more vulnerable to these types of collision injuries.

The Drive

The Look

The large Ford oval badge is a notable absentee on a more rounded front and F-LE-X in large lettering is on the lead edge of the hood. The three-bar grille has also been reduced to one with a black surround and the lower front fascia has a restyled air intake.

Although largely cosmetic, the exterior changes give Flex a very different look that’s bolder and far more distinctive. My test Flex was a Limited trim with the optional xenon headlights, which gave it an even more striking appearance.

The Inside

Extra large doors present a wide opening for passengers to enter or exit Flex and most passengers will also find the seats are at an easy slide-in height.

The second-row seats offer generous leg and head room and the third row seat is also an adult usable position with access past a second row seat that folds and flips out of the way. Storage is also impressive. Even with all seven seats upright, Flex has 566 litres (20 cubic feet) of cargo space in back. That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) if you then lay the second row

Large doors make it convenient for passengers to enter and exit, while the seats are an easy slide-in height. There’s 566 litres of cargo space in the back. flat. Start the car, Ikea here we come!

Safety

The Flex now comes with a new active safety features that intervenes to prevent a loss of traction in cornering situations. It’s called torque vectoring control and curve control technology.

As the car accelerates through a corner, torque vectoring control detects when the front inside wheel is starting to slip and

applies a slight amount of braking to the wheel. This prevents wheel spin and has the effect of transferring engine torque to the outside wheel (with more grip), which helps maintain traction and steering control.

Curve control senses when the vehicle is entering a curve too quickly. It can apply fourwheel “smart” braking to reduce vehicle speed by up to 16 kilometres per hour, which helps the driver follow an intended path.

Another new safety feature is rear inflatable seat belts. This advanced restraint sys-

Having 365 horsepower and 350 lbs.-ft of torque available anytime your brain gives the signal to your right foot is very comforting and satisfying. The EcoBoost V6 engine offers V8-like performance without the fuel consumption penalty. An ally in the Flex’s fuel conservation fight is a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission, which is geared for good highway fuel economy. On the other hand, it also provides both Sport and manual operation modes.

Our top-line test Flex came with paddleshifters at the steering wheel, which was an unexpected treat. Moving the shift lever to the S (Sport) mode triggers a transformation to “bad” Flex.

There’s an instant change to a more aggressive transmission shift pattern, it tightens the steering and chassis and a tachometer appears on the instrument panel. You can also use the manual shift paddles in the normal D (drive) mode, which is really handy if you want to make a quick change in speed to get past something or merge with traffic.

On the road, the Flex transmits a solid and secure feeling through its taut body structure and wide track. While Ford has firmed the suspension, it’s still a comfort oriented ride that’s composed and quiet. It’s a more car-like driving experience than you’ll get in most of its seven-seat competitors.

Sports Richmond forward on trial with German team

BOB FRID/WHITECAPS FC

Caleb Clarke has flourished in the Whitecaps program.

He signed his first professional contract two months ago and now Caleb Clarke is auditioning overseas for another.

The standout striker from Richmond is on a two week trial with FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt of Germany’s third-tier ‘3.Liga’. If the tryout is successful, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC top prospect will likely be loaned to FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt for one year. Clarke, who turned 19 last Saturday, became the Whitecaps’ sixth Homegrown signing on April 24. He was one of the club’s initial Residency Program selections nearly three years ago.

“Caleb has enjoyed tremendous success since joining the club,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. “The timing of the trial is a little unfortunate with the start of the USSDA playoffs this week. However, this is a good development opportunity for him and Erfurt need to see

him during this time frame, so he can play some friendly matches in their pre-season.”

Clarke finished the United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) regular season second overall in scoring with 24 goals in 23 matches in the 78-club league.

He currently leads Whitecaps FC’s United Soccer Leagues (USL) Premier Development League (PDL) U-23 side with five goals in seven matches.

Prior to joining the Whitecaps FC Residency program in Sept. 2009, he was part of a highly successful local youth team (Richmond Madrid) that was coached by his father — Clive Clarke. That squad also included current Whitecaps Residency player Declan Rodriguez.

Clarke also spent three years with the provincial team program (U13, U14 and U15) and two more years with Canadian Soccer Association’s National Training Centre program.

Last December, he was was one of five Residency players to take part in a training camp with Canada’s U20 national team in Sunrise, Florida.

Corner kicks...

Rodriguez and another Richmond Youth Soccer product — 18-year-old striker Carlos Marquez — are currently with the Whitecaps Residency U18 team at the USSDA playoffs in Frisco, Texas. After a heartbreaking 32 defeat in their opening game to the Pateadores, the Whitecaps rebounded with 4-0 victory over Weston FC. Rodriguez was in the starting back four, while Marquez came off the bench in the 60th minute and scored his team’s third goal 15 minutes later.

Vancouver was slated to play its final round-robin game yesterday and still could advance to the quarterfinals with a win and some help. See Wednesday’s edition of the News for a story the next step in Rodriguez’s promising career.

Minoru hosting inaugural B.C. Premier Provincial Cup Championships this weekend The culmination of the youth soccer season begins this coming weekend with the spotlight once again being on Richmond.

After successfully hosting the Coastal “A” and “B” Cup Championships in May, Minoru Park will be site of the inaugural Provincial Premier Cup Championships.

The two-day tournament will feature teams

from the fledgling EA Sports B.C. Premier Soccer League. The provincial champion in the U14, U16 and U18 categories qualify to compete at the National Club Championships, organized by the Canadian Soccer Association, which take place in October.

The Provincial “A” Cup will take

place the following weekend July (5-8) in Kamloops with a whopping six Richmond teams scheduled to participate.

On the boys side, Richmond United’s U13, U15, U16 and U18 will be looking to conclude their outstanding seasons in grand style after earlier winning Coastal Cup championships.

In girls action, the U18 Richmond Red Hot Selects will be out to cap a dominating run through youth soccer that included a Coastal Cup win in May and the U16 B.C. and Coastal titles in 2011.

The U14 Richmond Synergy will also be participating after reaching the Coastal Cup final.

U14 Broncos complete perfect season with B.C. title

BY MARK BOOTH

mbooth@richmond-news.com

This time nobody was getting in the way of the Richmond Broncos.

After two years of close calls, the U14 squad capped a dominating season by taking top honours at the recent B.C. Flag Football Championships in Kelowna. The Broncos capped a perfect run with a 23-14 victory over the South Delta Rams.

Richmond built up a 23-0 lead at the half and was in cruise control the rest of the way.

The locals road to the title also included wins over Chilliwack (54-0), Prince Geroge (36-0), Kelowna (42-0), North Delta (20-0), North Surrey (44-16), New West (40-0) and Coquitlam (44-0).

In the Broncos inaugural appearance at the provincials in 2010, they lost in the quarter-finals. Last year, they reached the championship game before bowing out.

There would be no stopping them in 2012 as they dominated the five-week regular season jamboree style schedule — going

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Richmond Broncos rolled to 32 straight wins en route to becoming B.C. champions 25-0 — making them heavy favourites in Kelowna.

The team had a distinct B.C. Lions flavour with former offensive lineman and Richmond native Bobby Singh serving as

head coach. His eight player roster featured his two sons Bobby Jr. and Kameron Singh, along with Jalen and Tyson Philpot — twin boys of former Lion Cory Philpot.

The rest of the line-up included Drey

Blair, Reign Cruz, Devin Patterson and Jack Cruz-Dumont. Greg Cruz served as an assistant coach.

“Our team was about speed and agility,” said Singh. “We probably threw the ball 80 to 85 percent of the time. Our defence really set the tone. It’s been a great season and (the win in) Kelowna is icing on the cake.”

Flag football has grown in leaps in bounds since becoming a spring sports option.The U14 division alone has grown from 14 to 29 teams in three years. In total, there were over 1,000 players participating at the provincials from the U10 division and up.

It is a five-on-five game with the offence featuring a quarterback, running back, centre and two receivers. There is no blocking on pass plays with quarterbacks having seven seconds to throw the ball.

“It’s a very fast paced games and that’s what I think the kids like about it the most,” said Singh. “Even the bigger boys (from regular tackle football) are getting a chance to do more running and they’re enjoying it.”

Pirates save their best unitl last to capture Richmond Mosquito baseball championship The Pirates are Richmond City Baseball Mosquito Division playoff champions thanks to a thrilling 7-6 victory over the Red Sox. In a game that will go down in memory as one of the greatest ever played at Gibbons Field, the

Pirates were down to their final out and facing a full-count with the tying run at third base. That’s when Gabriel Sussenbacher-Fu clobbered a two-run inside the park home run to capture the gold medal for his team.

The Red Sox played brilliantly and just moments prior had fended off the Pirates by throwing a runner out at home to preserve their lead, albeit just temporarily.

Both teams deserve tremendous applause for putting on the

game of the season.

The all-star portion of the minor baseball season is now underway with Richmond City scheduled to host two profile events — the Bantam AAA and Pee Wee AAA Provincial

Championships. Both tournaments will take place Aug. 2-6.

The Bantam tournament will take place at Blundell Field while the Pee Wee games will be held at Brighouse and Steveston Athletic parks.

A Newer Version of Wills Variation Parents now commonly add their child(ren) as owners of their assets, including bank accounts and land, for many reasons.

They may want to gift their children the asset(s), there may be a desire to avoid the asset falling into the parents’ estate (so as to reduce or eliminate Probate fees), and so on. A number of Court decisions in the last five years has changed the law somewhat so that if an asset is transferred, fully or partially, to a child, a challenge to that transfer (usually by another child) puts the transaction in a different light. The question has become what intention did the parent(s) have when transferring the asset to the child. Was it to gift the asset, or was there another motive? Wills Variation cases have changed with this new law as well. A person challenging a Will may, as part of their claim, look to have a transferred asset returned to the (larger) Estate. That allows the person more of an Estate to claim. Last week, reasons were released in the case called Holvenstot v. Estate of Holvenstot and others. These issues were considered by the Court.

Facts The deceased passed away in 2000. She was survived by three daughters, and one son (the Plaintiff). She disinherited her Plaintiff son. The Estate was bequeathed equally to the daughters. The Estate had virtually no assets as the deceased had transferred the main ones to her daughter who was named the Executrix. Thus, the first task of the Plaintiff was to have the transferred assets returned to the Estate. The existing law is that without proper evidence, the transferred assets are presumed to be held by the child in trust for the Estate. The assets in question included a property on Vancouver Island.

The property was purchased entirely with the deceased’s money. Title was registered in the names of the deceased and her daughter, the Executrix. The Executrix said that the deceased’s intention was to gift her half of the property to the other daughters so that her Estate would be distributed equally to the three daughters.

Meanwhile, the deceased made several Wills, the last one in 1997. She wrote a memorandum explaining her reasons for disinheriting the Plaintiff. The memo was attached to the Will. There were several, quite harsh reasons, including apparent substance problems, an attempt by the Plaintiff to sell her property (which lead to litigation), an attempt by the Plaintiff to have the deceased declared incompetent, and other behavior. The Plaintiff challenged the Will.

Decision The Court held, with respect to the property title transfer, that the evidence of the deceased’s intention was rather thin. Thus, the Executrix was held to be a Trustee and had to return her interest in the property to the Estate. However, the Plaintiff was then unsuccessful in his effort to vary the Will. The Court, in a thorough, careful analysis of the law essentially held that the deceased’s expression of her reasons for disinheriting the Plaintiff was adequate and logically were connected to the disinheritance. The Plaintiff attempted to argue that the deceased had a moral duty to the Plaintiff to bequeath him a portion of the Estate, but again the deceased’s memorandum was lengthy and spelled out her anguish, stress and “trouble” caused to her by the Plaintiff ’s behavior over the years. The litigation over the Plaintiff ’s effort to sell her property was lengthy and costly. It would appear that the Court was very sensitive to that in holding that the deceased’s wishes would stand. The Will was not varied.

Summary Courts pay close attention to the wording of Wills. If a person wants their Estate distributed unequally among their children (and perhaps a spouse as well), a proper expression of their reasons is critical. In this case, the Court spent considerable time analyzing the deceased’s reasons (which were in her own words) and felt, with the unusual and in parts terrible, facts, the reasons for disinheriting were meritorious and so the Court upheld the Will. Ultimately, the assets did not need to be returned to the Estate.

It is noteworthy also that the Court held that a transfer of assets to children could not stand without proper evidence of the parent’s intention in transferring. In this regard, people should seek legal advice in these situations because there are documents which can assist in establishing that intention. A transfer of assets to children without accompanying documents is, in my opinion, risky (as in this case).

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The main accent lies on home, children, security, nutrition, garden and retirement. You might receive a “love call” – perhaps from someone who lives at a distance. Get out your charm and woo someone, or let it go until October brings new prospects. Sunday/Monday are mellow, wise, loving – though Monday afternoon could bring a bit of temper or a work-related difficulty: go slow.

Tuesday/Wednesday ask: are you ambitious enough?

Answer no Tuesday, yes Wednesday. This night, and Thursday/Friday, bring success, friends and wish fulfillment. Retreat, rest Saturday: don’t push anyone.

Taurus April 20-May 20: The focus is on communications, travel, siblings and casual friends, details, errands and paperwork. In practical areas this is not an important time, but it holds some moral and human themes, as your ideas, life philosophy and relationships can be affected by what you say and write. (You don’t have to worry immediately about the practical, as earnings and possessions face growing luck here to mid-2013.) Changes – and perhaps sorrow or anger about a recent change – arrive Sunday/Monday. Monday eve brings a mellow, loving mood, to Wednesday. This night to Friday rewards ambition.

Gemini May 21-June 20: You face increasing personal luck over the next year. Since much of this luck depends on opportunities, go forth – explore a different nation, advertise, seek agreement, try to get others to join your project, meet new people, etc.

Your cheerfulness is growing, and so is your appeal to others. Sunday/Monday bring exciting meetings, but also contain the seeds of friction. That “friction planet,” Mars, ends an 8-month pillaging of your home (and realty) scene Tuesday – from this day to late August, it heats up your romantic side. True love – or blowing hot and cold about it – looms.

Legal/Public Notices

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, charisma and clout are at a yearly high, Cancer. Start important projects, ask favours, see and be seen – your skills will impress others. (You’d be wise to wait until September onward to start any administrative, policy, management or government-related project, or anything touching on therapy or a “retreat.”)

Tackle chores Sunday/Monday (even bbq’ing is a chore). Relationships, opportunities and exciting meetings arise midweek. Grab ‘em Tuesday before noon, or wisely let them go. Sex, finances, health and lifestyle are splendidly lucky Wednesday night onward.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Lie low, retreat, contemplate and plan (for late July onward). Romantic, creative and gambling notions arise Sunday/Monday, but you’d be smart to save your energy. Monday night to Wednesday eve bring chores and health concerns (light ones) – it would be a great interval for success at work and in practical matters, but those who commit big, lose. Stick to routine chores – get them cleaned up, it will be easy. Wednesday night to Friday eve brings exciting meetings, and good people – don’t fight them! Argument closes doors; diplomacy opens them. Saturday’s mysterious. Protect funds.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Wishes come true, Virgo.

Maybe not big ones – that waits until mid-2013 to mid-2014. (But you’re closer every week.) Popularity, social delights, flirtations, fun and entertainment come. Monday eve to Wednesday, you might have to choose between a bevy of friends and one special love. If you can’t choose Monday eve before 8:45 p.m., don’t choose, leave it awhile. These days bring a surprise, but also beauty and deep “soul pleasure.”

(Earlier, Sunday to Monday eve, be restful, attend to garden, kids.) Chores confront you Wednesday night to Friday: you’ll succeed: do big things.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Ambition is the order of the day, Libra – meet VIPs, parents and bosses. Show them what you can do, be eager for more responsibility.

This decade, if you give superhuman effort to your ambitions, you will likely gain super rewards. But if you just chug along as usual, you can confront many career disruptions. This isn’t necessarily bad, as those “disruptions” could be love, children, a new home.

Still, you have to make a choice. Sunday/Monday are friendly. Sink into home, kids, nature and rest Tuesday/Wednesday. Romance, winning luck, beauty Thursday/Friday. Chores, Saturday.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: A sweet, mellow mood fills this week. Your investment and sexual luck keeps rising – still, remain cautious before September.

This Sunday/Monday features income, money and spending. Be conservative, avoid work-related, machinery and similar purchases. Monday eve to Wednesday suppertime, communications, short trips, paperwork, details, coworker relations, casual acquaintances, all flow well. Head for home or hotel Wednesday eve, and stick with property, security, kids, gardening this eve through Friday – luck rides with you, despite a lack of results. Romance is palpable Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: For eight lovely weeks ahead, you will grow hopeful about romance, relationships, creative projects and children, Sage.You are being released from a recent mood or thread of negativity. A sort of quiet bad luck detaches and floats downstream, leaving a future filled with possibilities, especially in relationships, relocation, fame and business/life opportunities. That said, July nudges you to dive into the depths of life, finances, intimacy and your psyche. Inheritance, strong investments, debt reduction are possible. You shine Sunday. Midweek’s lucky. Home, Saturday.

July 1 - 7, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You might learn a secret this week that will, by mid-month, cause you to delay a project or plan, to not start again until earlymid-August. Or you might just experience delays or indecision mid-July to early August, and wonder why. Either way, delays arrive soon, so use this week and next to complete rather than begin. Bosses and authorities will display impatience for the next seven weeks: be diplomatic. You might end one career/job role, begin another. Though your work load expands hugely now to mid-2013, now this expansion’s “bad side” ebbs by half. Soon, money/work luck!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Work, all week. You’re wishful, optimistic Sunday/Monday. But retreat Monday eve to Wednesday – meditate, plan. Don’t push government agencies or head office: bide your time.Eight months of heightened sexual urges end now – on the good side, this makes you more receptive to real love – which is on its way, if you’re single, during the months ahead. The seven weeks ahead feature travel, learning, and possibly ethical or legal conflicts.

(Avoid these conflicts; they contain possible loss, no reward.) Your energy, charm – and luck! – return midlate week. Money caution Saturday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: A romantic, creative, lucky, speculative trend continues. You see and feel beauty. You could fall in love (though prospects are better a year from now). For 8 months, relationships have flamed with intensity, good or bad; a monetary or sexual union might have developed, but (if so) it’s been a fiery one. Now this intensity shifts to your deeper, more private side for seven weeks.

During this time, investments, funding, and the actual “production” of a partnership occurs. (Sexual production = pregnancy.) Take care that secret relationships don’t violate ethics. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-727-3673
