New rail safety regulations a ‘first step’ Does nothing to assist emergency crews Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Burnaby’s calls for rail companies to be more forthcoming with information on the dangerous goods they transport have been answered. But it’s still not enough to assist emergency crews who respond to rail incidents, says Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow. Volkow was commenting on recent news that Ottawa is directing

rail companies to share dangerous Lac-Mégantic, Que., last July when goods information with the cities a train of tanker cars carrying those goods travel through. crude-oil derailed and exploded, Under the “protective direction,” killing 47 people. as it’s called, the information Burnaby has been among must be reported quarterly, those calling for more and the order will remain transparency from the rail in effect for three years to companies, which have allow Transport Canada refused to provide such time to develop permanent information to municipalities regulations. until now. VOLKOW The move comes “It’s the first step, first following requests from opening of a conversation cities for more information on the between the federal government, dangerous goods being transported the railways and all the cities across 4x1.25_book_drive_ad_final.pdf by rail, following the tragedy in the country,” said Volkow of the

directive. Volkow, an outspoken critic of railways, said he’ll give the government credit for recognizing that the railways have not been cooperative with cities. But the requirement for quarterly reports still doesn’t address the concerns of first responders who are expected to respond to rail incidents without knowing what they’re dealing with. “We’d like to know what’s going through in our town when it’s going through, not three later,” 1 12-03-05 1:20months PM said Volkow.

Is a teenage girl being sexually exploited if her boyfriend is pimping her out? Some people in that situation might not think so—which is part of the problem being grappled with by the Burnaby-New Westminster Task Force on Sexually Exploited and At-Risk Youth. A survey by the task force found a continuing trend away from street prostitution toward youth being pimped out on the Internet or through a relationship. The latter involves so-called boyfriends who ply the girls with expensive gifts in exchange for turning tricks. Some youth in such cases don’t even disclose their situation to service providers because they don’t see it as being a problem. “A lot of kids are in denial or they don’t see what they’re doing as an issue,” said Burnaby senior social planner Joan Selby. “They don’t necessarily see turning tricks for drugs, or for jewelry, or for a place to stay, or for a ride somewhere as being exploited. They’re doing that of their own free will.” see NO LONGER, A3

Local man hears from dad in Philippines 18 days after Typhoon Haiyan struck Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

For those who have not yet heard from loved ones in the Philippines, there could still be hope if a Burnaby man’s experience is any indication. On Tuesday, North Burnaby resident Alex West finally got word that his father, Colin West, is safe, 18 days after Typhoon Haiyan struck on Nov. 8. As reported in the NewsLeader, Alex’s father lives with his girlfriend just outside Tacloban, one of the cities hardest hit by the disaster. They knew the typhoon was coming as they mentioned it in their Facebook posts before it hit. Since then, Alex, 39, hasn’t been able to reach his dad or others in the area that he communicates with over Facebook. “Everybody is off the grid there, they have just disappeared,” he said a few days

after the typhoon. In the intervening weeks, he’s only had third-party reports of his dad. “People saying they had some kind of contact or they talked to somebody who has seen him kind of thing. But that’s about it,” Alex said. “Until anybody had actually spoken to my dad I didn’t believe it.” That happened early Tuesday morning when his sister, Amy West, in Nova Scotia was patched through by the Canadian embassy in a three-way call. Alex said he learned later that he also received a call but it was so early he never answered it. In speaking and messaging with his sister, Alex learned his dad was home when the typhoon hit and managed to stay safe from the flooding by escaping to their attic. While the house is full of mud, it’s salvageable but three cars were wrecked along with numerous belongings, including their

laptops. Colin’s cellphones were also wrecked, which meant he lost all his contact information. Luckily, Alex had contacted Foreign Affairs Canada and provided

their phone numbers, and his dad finally called the embassy allowing the connection to be made. Colin is currently staying in the nearby town of Basey

where his girlfriend has family. His girlfriend’s son is staying at Colin’s house to protect it from looters. “It was a very quick call, as my sister said, but he has been moving around. How he’s been doing that exactly, I don’t know, his cars are all wrecked.” It’s a huge relief to Alex and his family. “He’s something of an adventurer, so he’s not the kind of man who’s going to make it a priority to check in. I know that about him,” he said with a laugh. “On the other hand, he’s not an ignorant man, so … I don’t know why it took so long.” According to his sister, it may be another month before Colin has reliable access to email. “Communications were out and even getting your phones charged is a very difficult thing to do, so people are using their phones very sparingly,” said Alex. “I feel fantastic now, I feel really good, I’m really quite happy. I was really worried.”

No longer ‘age-old image’ of standing on street corner ⫸

The person exploiting them and essentially acting as the youth’s pimp is also in a relationship with them, acting like they’re their boyfriend. The task force recently completed its analysis of a count conducted in February by people who work with local youth as to the number who are being prostituted, suspected of being so, or are at risk. Burnaby residents made up 57 per cent of the youth in the count, while 30 per cent were New Westminster residents. In all, 217 youth were tracked.

Of the total, 25 youth or 12 per cent were confirmed to be sexually exploited, of which five were under age 15, “which horrified us,” Selby said. Another 22 per cent were suspected of being involved in the sex trade. “What we first noticed in 2011 still seems to be holding and that is that … the age-old image of standing on the street corner and picking up Johns is no longer. It’s happening over the Internet or it’s happening in these relationships behind closed doors,” Selby said. “So that’s concerning.” Also surprising was that so many of the children tracked live

with their families (62 per cent) and are connected to school (83 per cent), she said. There is no indication from the count whether the youths’ parents are aware of their children’s illicit activities. The service providers tracking the youth were not necessarily social workers regularly involved with the family, she said. For instance, the youth could have been receiving counselling at school, or they could have dropped into a youth health clinic, youth centre or the Burnaby Youth HUB and spoken with staff.

“You tend to think it’ll be the kids that have run away or don’t have anywhere to live and they’re totally disconnected from their school and community,” said Selby. “Not so. They’re living what looks like semi-normal lives.” While the 217 youth tracked is up compared to the 146 in 2011, Selby noted that this year’s count had more agencies participating, including the Burnaby school district, which also led to more younger youth being included. She stressed that not all youth engaged in the sex trade have contact with service providers,

which could mean an underreporting in the survey. It’s not known that the problem is worse than two years ago but with more than 200 kids known to be or with the potential to be sexually exploited, “that’s a lot of kids in a one-month snapshot.” The task force is considering ways it can address the issue, such as education campaigns for parents, she said.

Sanghera admits doctors can sometimes be slow to embrace change. But having a clearer understanding of their patients’ needs can help make that happen. “If we can get the data, we may as well ride that wave,” said Sanghera. “We want to improve patient outcomes.” • The Community Health Care Survey can be completed at http://fluidsurveys.com/s/ Burnaby/

Finding a family doctor close to home can be a frustrating experience. But the Burnaby Division of Family Practice, a group of about 160 family doctors practicing in the city, is looking to ease some of that stress by surveying residents, and people who study or work in the city about how they use the health care system and whether it’s meeting their needs. The online Community Health Care Survey was launched on Wednesday and will run until Dec. 20. It can be completed in about 10 minutes and respondents can win one of 20 $100 gift certificates to local businesses. The local survey is part of the province-wide A GP for Me initiative, a joint program of the provincial government and the BC Medical Association to make it easier for doctors to provide and coordinate care to patients. Dr. Baldev Sanghera, a family physician in the Edmonds area since 1998, said the feedback

doctors get from the survey will help them learn more about expectations people have of the medical system and whether he and his colleagues are meeting them. That, in turn, could lead them to implement initiatives to attract more doctors or improve efficiencies that will free up spaces for new patients. “We need to find out from patients what their expectations are, and how we can match them together with how we provide services,” said Sanghera. Doctors are also being surveyed on how they manage their offices. Sanghera said an adjustment as simple as switching from paper to electronic patient files can save a few moments for every patient, freeing up time for new patients. Paul Gallant, the project lead for A GP for Me in Burnaby, said the data gleaned from the surveys will be shared with physicians and an advisory board that includes representatives from the community and Fraser Health. Actions based on results will be implemented as early as the spring.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Shopping locally Many Canadians will vote with their feet this week and head south on Black Friday in hopes of finding bargains. This trek is part of a general trend of Canadians to crossborder shop while our dollar’s value stays relatively high, and although the price spread is just 10 per cent — not a huge difference given the time spent in border lineups and the cost of gas — the general impression is that U.S. retailers do a better job in keeping prices low. Canadian retailers have been adapting to consumer demand, offering competitive deals and early opening hours for Black Friday to keep shoppers at home. As well, the entry of Walmart and Target have forced them to sharpen their pencils. But Canadian retailers can’t take all the blame for the price differences. In fact, Canada’s relatively small consumer market compared to the U.S. contributes to higher pricing overall. Foreign suppliers have historically charged more for their product because Canada is a more costly market to service. Transportation, distribution, somewhat higher labour costs, tariffs and fees as well as higher rent and real estate costs all add to the mark-up we pay on goods. Still, Canadian retailers need to take some responsibility for the problem of cross-border shopping and do what they can to keep customers at home — whether it be through enhanced customer service, warranty servicing or more competitive pricing. At the same time, Canadian consumers shouldn’t be let off the hook. Circulating their dollars in their home community keeps themselves and their neighbours employed. Money spent in Canada will also ensure that we continue to enjoy health care, a strong social safety net and many other benefits. When it comes to quality of life, you get what you pay for. —Tri-City News/Black Press

Wait! Hold that Chainsaw! I’ve held off writing about trees because I’m of two minds. There must be some middle ground: a way of keeping our neighbourhoods treed without infringing on private property rights. City council is trying to do the same, which is why it takes so long for bylaws to change, and why the new ones often seem weak when we do get them. The City of Burnaby’s website says the city’s Tree Bylaw was “established in 1996 to protect the city’s trees and neighbourhood character.” Except it hasn’t done that. The trees on private property in my neighbourhood are going down, and fast. Concerned citizens have been urging Burnaby council to protect trees on boulevards and private land for a long time. For just as long, other residents have been contesting the idea. I’m proud of Burnaby’s environmental successes: developing and preserving green spaces, watercourses, shorelines, and forested areas. More than 25

Anne Hopkinson per cent—that’s 6,000 acres—of city land is open space or parks. Burnaby encourages urban agriculture. All that is good. Why is the tree bylaw for private property so far behind the others? It could be the influence of developers. They want it simple and cheap. One guy on a residential construction site in South Burnaby was asked why they had to cut down all the big evergreens. Not just the ones that blocked access to the front of the lot, but the ones at the back of the lot in no one’s way at all. His answer, “Policy. We always cut down all the trees. The neighbours don’t like it, and then they put their houses up for sale.” Most builders will not replace

trees on the same property. “Asian buyers don’t want trees.” Rubbish. Plenty of Asian people like trees. Burnaby has a cash-in-lieu system of contributions to a civic Tree Fund, a good default idea. But it doesn’t keep the residential block treed. Burnaby’s Tree Bylaw also protects “significant trees from unnecessary cutting or removal.” What makes a tree significant? Which trees are significant enough to be protected? Perhaps my neighbourhood used to have only insignificant trees; privacy, shade, beauty, birds, and clean air being insignificant. I might need to cut down a tree on my own property one day. Our big old maple is truly big and old. Now that mature evergreens in neighbouring yards have been chopped down it stands alone and unprotected from the winds. In the past we cut down a diseased dogwood, a pear tree that was too old to produce, and a Deodora cedar that crowded the front door.

Homeowners should be able to get a permit and cut a tree on their own property, shouldn’t they? Ah, but some don’t want to bother getting a permit, and fume about paying a fee. The problem is not just the disappearance of trees, it’s the proliferation of cars. Many single-family homes have three cars, and rental homes with two or three suites can have six or seven. At a time when carbon emissions are rising, trees are falling. Not good. I go round and round with this one, and agree with both sides on some points. And while change and densification are inevitable, we should make the best of both. Let’s not cut too many big trees while we figure out how to do that.

COMMENT Trees have value, but light does too There appears to be some very judgmental people whining to the city every time they see a tree felled. These people should bear in mind that residents have many different reasons for tree removal, and every right to deal with their own landscaping in any way they see fit. They can be so hemmed in by trees that their personal or home security is threatened; some live in homes so darkened by trees that they need lights on all day long; others suffer allergies or are prevented by age or injury from raking and picking up leaves in the fall. Some fear a storm uprooting a large tree and demolishing their home—or the presence of such danger affecting their ability to get insurance. Whatever the case, on their own property tree removal should be their own choice. Some people rid themselves of every growing thing and cover their grounds with concrete in order to park extra vehicles. We may not approve, but it is their land! I love trees. Most people do. I love birds and nature, and rejoice in the beautiful area in which I live. Anyone from anywhere would love to have the million dollar view I have of the North Shore mountains. It gives me enormous pleasure to watch the play of light on the slopes, the peaks after a fresh snowfall, the rainbows or cloud formations and chiaroscuro in general. I recently decided quite

suddenly to remove seven cedars from my small front garden, and although in so doing I have regained parts of my wonderful view that had disappeared, that was not my reason. A bungalow beside me was demolished this year, and a huge house is now going up in its place. One day I went out for a walk, on a lovely sunny day, and returned to find the walls had risen in my absence to a point way above the roof of my own reasonably substantial home. From the bedroom window I cannot even see the sky. It was as if someone had turned off the light in my lovely light, airy home, and it affects most of the house. A large window on that side previously added light to most of my living space. All is now bathed in an orange gloom. I cried! During the course of a single walk, I felt my house had been devalued by literally thousands of dollars, and my pleasure in my home had been stripped from me. I believe city council’s job is to look after citizens and infrastructure; to ensure that new buildings are built to code and scale and fit into their surroundings, and ideally to prevent such circumstances as this by restricting home heights on smaller lots, or requiring placements which do not strip neighbours of so much daylight. Fining and harassing people for removing their trees should not be any part of the city’s business. D. Ashenden Burnaby

TIME TO WORK TOWARD ACCEPTANCE Re: ‘Big Picture’ ignores a little context (Letters, NewsLeader, Nov. 22) Ziggy Eckardt’s dismissive letter on global climate warming simply reveals he is in denial. An understanding of global climate change and its consequences is unsettling. One can expect to go through the five stages of a life crisis: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Mr. Eckardt needs to work through these stages to acceptance. Then he can try to develop “hope” and then “action.” Derek Wilson Port Moody

INCREASED TAXIS USE SUPPORTED The increased use of taxis within HandyDART is something that disability advocates have been requesting for years. HandyDART levels are inadequate and taxi use significantly increases the number of HandyDART rides that can be provided within the same budget. For example, the Montreal custom transit system uses over 90 per cent taxis and they provide almost twice as many rides as Metro Vancouver HandyDART does, for about the same budget.

Black Press

VICTORIA – With half of the fiscal year in the books, the B.C. government is clinging to a small surplus that was promised in this

with a surplus of $165 million. That’s up $29 million from the September budget update. Corporate tax revenue is higher than expected, making

up for personal tax revenue that was $284 million less than forecast. Part of the decline in personal income tax is due to employment, which de Jong said was disappointingly “flat lined” so far in 2013. He said unemployment has “dropped modestly” and fulltime employment has grown, but the province has work to do to meet its jobs plan goal. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said

B.C. to seek work since the plan was launched two years ago. “Just look at the job numbers,” Farnworth said. “By their own admission, they’re pathetic.” Another revenue loss for the B.C. treasury is provincial sales tax revenue, which is running $100 million below the budget forecast for the year. De Jong said one factor in that is that

not all businesses have registered to collect and remit the PST since the province cancelled the harmonized sales tax last March. More than 102,000 businesses have applied to register for the PST, and the finance ministry is continuing to assist businesses with seminars and oneon-one consultations on switching over. De Jong said finance ministry staff have given businesses time to adjust and comply, but the grace period is ending. “As we move into 2014, we’re going to expect people to fulfil their obligations and remit PST that they are obliged to, and officials will be pursuing that with the diligence that you would expect,” de Jong said.

Council rejects call for ban on pet store animal sales With exception of ban on sale of turtles Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

After weeks of delegations from both sides of the issue, Burnaby council decided against banning the sale of most animals at pet stores in the city. The lone exception is turtles, which will no longer be allowed to be sold in Burnaby pet stores as a way to protect local wetland environments. The decision came after two delegations vehemently opposed banning animal sales—pet store owner Katherine Kinman of King Ed Pet Centre and

Richmond resident John Crocock—and one, Maria Soroski of Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue, who refuted the claims made a week earlier of Tom Peters, owner of Pet Habitat Metrotown, that his animals are sourced from U.S.-government inspected kennels without animal welfare violations. In the end, council approved the recommendations of city staff to establish regulations for pet stores which don’t currently exist, ban turtle sales and require that rabbits be sterilized before they’re sold. It wasn’t unanimous, with approval coming after a 7-1 vote. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal preferred an

outright ban on animal sales but was away at a Federation of Canadian Municipalities meeting in Ottawa and couldn’t vote by proxy, said Mayor Derek Corrigan. That left Coun. Dan Johnston the lone council member opposed, saying that pet stores encourage impulse buying of animals. “Puppies and kittens should come from a nurturing environment that is safe and healthy,” Johnston said. The idea of breeding such pets in

cages stacked high followed by unsupervised children banging on windows as the animals sit in a pet store “doesn’t sound like a nurturing environment to me.” He also cited the “abysmal” record of Pet Habitat Metrotown’s supplier, the U.S.-based Hunte Corporation, in his decision, adding that PetSmart and Tisol in Burnaby don’t sell dogs and cats and yet have thriving businesses. Coun. Colleen Jordan

stressed that Burnaby only has control over what happens to such animals after they arrive at pet stores in the city, so would have no way to regulate against puppy mills. Jordan didn’t agree with a complete ban on animal sales as that would essentially shut down a business, which is what happened when dog sales were banned in Richmond. A ban would only send the business underground where there would be no regulations at all. Coun. Paul McDonell wasn’t convinced that pet stores encourage impulse buying, noting he observed the average price of a puppy at Pet Habitat Metrotown is $2,500.

“I’m not poor, but I’m certainly not impulse buying at 2,500 bucks.” Corrigan said the addition of pet store regulations to the city’s animal control bylaw is significant progress, regardless of a ban, as it would be “holding pet stores to the light of day in regard to their practices.” City manager Bob Moncur said as staff draft the bylaw changes they will look into the feasibility of requiring cats be sterilized before they’re sold, as suggested by Corrigan, and Coun. Pietro Calendino’s suggestion that stores be restricted from selling animals bred outside B.C. twitter.com/WandaChow

Derby site eyed for affordable seniors rental housing Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

What a difference a year makes. A year ago, a developer working on behalf of the George Derby Long Term Care Society proposed building a seniors market rental housing complex next door to the care centre at 7550 Cumberland Street. Some Burnaby council members balked, wanting to see subsidized housing instead, noting the property is provincial government land operated by the non-profit society under lease. Fast forward a year and the developer, Etherstane Developments Ltd., is indeed now proposing a rezoning for a complex aimed at providing affordable housing. “The intent of the Society is to construct an attractive, high quality residence and make it available to low and moderate income seniors in the community at rents that are substantially below those charged in similar private seniors’ facilities,” said Richard Peddie, president of Etherstane in a letter to Burnaby’s planning

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Driveway goes Hollywood!

Zack Spencer reveals what turned his head week with a visit to the glitzy 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Alexandra Straub looks at what’s cool, Bob McHugh goes green and Keith Morgan sneaks a peek at a racy compact concept. Check out the full script at drivewayBC.ca

LA-LA Land auto extravaganza LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Auto Show is full of eye-popping sights and some even include cars! It’s not difficult to have your head turned but it is a challenge to pick one’s top picks but I’m for the challenge. Nissan GT-R Nismo Nissan stole the show with not only one of the fastest cars in the world but the fastest man in the world. Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt was on hand as Nissan’s Director of Excitement. Usain was clearly taken with the new GT-R Nismo, there were also promises to get him one to replace his gold coloured GT-R. Power has been pumped up to 600hp taking this new Nismo version to 100 km/h in just two seconds. Look for the new GT-R in the spring of 2014. I suspect Usain will get his a bit earlier. Chevrolet Colorado The mid-size pickup truck market has been all but abandoned by the domestic automakers over the last few years leaving this category entirely to Toyota and Nissan with the Tacoma and Frontier trucks. Wait until next year and the choice will include the all-new Colorado from Chevrolet. Building off the success of the all-new full-size Silverado, the engineers have taken the same approach to this new truck. On the economy front, eventually there will be three engines to choose from. Out of gate, there is the base 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6. Subaru WRX Fans of the Subaru WRX will be very excited about the arrival of an all-new car but maybe a bit disappointed that this production model

doesn’t look very much little the sleek and sexy concept that was unveiled earlier this year. It should prove to be a capable car thanks to an all-new direct injection 2.0L 4-cylinder putting out 268hp and matched to the first 6-speed in the WRX. Subaru Legacy Concept A head Zack Spencer turning design that my sources tell me looks a lot like the production car. The metallic, almost chrome looking paint, certainly helps to make the car pop but the bold front grille and macho stance could very well be included in the final version. Lincoln MKC Lincoln has a long and distinguished history as an American premium brand but over the last few decades, it has been an extension of existing Ford products using different badging and trim. There is now a long-term plan to resurrect the Lincoln brand with all-new vehicle that use some Ford components but are developed separately from the main Ford line of products. The compact crossover MKC shares a platform with the Ford Escape but has been designed and engineered to be a very different car. The design, other than the trademark Lincoln grille is very European and the back wrap-around hatch is maybe Audi-inspired. Standard in Canada will be all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

BMW 4 Series Cabriolet BMW has changed its naming: the 3 Series is now the sedan only while the coupe and convertible version are now called 4 Series. The all-new cabriolet is wider and features a new three-piece retractable hardtop and for the first time X-Drive AWD is now available on the convertible models. Interior refinements include a new neck warmer to that blows a steady stream of warm air on the front passengers neck and shoulders, helping to elongate the convertible season. Porsche Macan This small SUV is based on the same platform as the Audi Q5. This lower, sleeker and much more aggressive Macan will attract a lot of attention based purely on looks. Porsche made it very clear that this is not juts a Porsche in name but also in performance. Look for the Macan coming next year. Jaguar F-Type Jaguar made a big splash with the Jaguar F-Type convertible this year and next year we look forward to the coupe version, a dynamite looking coupe with a stunning silhouette and improved dynamics thanks to a stiffer body. The body of the car is built with extensive use of aluminum to produce the stiffest Jaguar ever made. This is one heart-pounding coupe I cannot wait to try.

How to get noticed at the LA Auto Show

‘‘

You don’t get any faster on feet than Usain Bolt does. And if you’re paired next to Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date, that’s an even more potent combination.

’’

Alexandra Straub

LOS ANGELES: Tinseltown. Hollywood. LA. No matter what you call it, it’s a city of millions and it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. But not if you’re attractive, have a great body and well,

you shine. With hundreds of vehicles showcased at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it takes a lot to stand out amongst the plethora of sparkling sheet metal, which is constantly detailed by show workers. If you’re a sexy snake, that’s automatic grounds for attention. The SRT Viper GTS was on display, but it wasn’t just any old venomproducing reptile. It came with the Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package. Aside from 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque being produced from its handcrafted, all-aluminum 8.4-litre, mid-front V10, it comes with the first-ever use for the Chrysler Group’s unique metallic matte exterior colour. And exclusivity is the name of its game. Only 50 will be made and they’ll be available as of January, 2014.

Speaking of fast things, you don’t get any faster on feet than Usain Bolt does. And if you’re paired next to Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date, that’s an even more potent combination. Godzilla takes on the NISMO (aka NISsan MOtorsport) badge with a healthy helping of 600-horsepower and some defining exterior features. In regards to its body, it’s more rigid than before and you’ll also find it has a “factory tuned” enhanced suspension. The aero package, which not only looks good, also improves road holding, minimizes the negative impact of drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance. If you’re a luxury German vehicle and you have a worldwide debut in LA, chances are you’ll draw

quite the A-List crowd. The all-new Porsche Macan did such a thing, with visitors such as Jerry Seinfeld and professional tennis player, Maria Sharapova. The Indonesian word for tiger, it’s the first Porsche in the compact SUV segment. Or you could say it’s the baby brother to the popular-selling Cayenne. Either way, they’re both have some spice to them! Two renditions of Macan will be available: the Macan S and Macan Turbo. Standard features include active all-wheel drive and the Porsche double-clutch transmission (PDK). The Macan S is powered by a new Porsche-designed 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo engine that puts out 340 horsepower. The Macan Turbo hosts a 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine and emits 400 horsepower. Purrrr.

Far left: Usain Bolt shows off Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date Above: Ford paired up with Hot Wheels for its Transit Connect XLT Cargo Van LWB. Left: The Porsche Macan drew an A-list crowd. Below: The Nissan GT-R.

Practical and eye catching? – You might not expect that from a cargo van, but when you team up with Hot Wheels, you’ll get exactly that: hot wheels! Ford paired up with Hot Wheels and had its Transit Connect XLT Cargo Van LWB beaming a custom bright blue exterior with orange accents and custom

20-inch wheels. But the fun doesn’t stop on the outside. Sure there’s a new front fascia and grille, and even a one-off “shark-fin” roof mounted antennas supporting GPS and Satellite radio along with custom gullwing doors (which replaces the standard sliding doors), but there’s a party waiting on the inside.

Alongside the custom ST seats, there’s a sleeping area and a 55-inch TV. Maybe I will try my hand at camping again, but only with this van! It wouldn’t be a California auto show without a special edition Jeep Wrangler. Complete with bronze satin gloss accentuated 18-inch wheels, a matching grille, and other dark parts, the Wrangler Dragon Edition is sure to heat things up. If the bronze bits weren’t enough of a giveaway, the large dragon graphic on the hood will surely let you know that this mythical creature means business whether on or off road. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

The coolest cars ever Some cars just ooze cool, especially those with a high price tag, sexy good looks and the “right” people driving them. Here are four of the coolest classics of all time along with the film and music legends who drove them and pushed their cool factor over the top: 1. 1964 Aston Martin DB5: James Bond’s long-standing association with this iconic British GT began in 1964, in “Goldfinger: “007: You’ll be using this Aston Martin DB5, with modifications.” Whether you love the gadgets like the machine guns and ejector seat or you’re just a fan of its classic Italian styling by Touring Superleggera and

chrome wire wheels, the DB5 has more cool in the air of its tires than the entire first season of “Mad Men.” 2. 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder: James Dean was a budding race car driver of some talent. He ordered what was then Porsche’s fastest dual-purpose (race/street) car available, and after wrapping “Giant,” had famed customizer Dean Jeffries paint in script on the car “Little Bastard.” Whether that was a reference to the car itself, or a reference made to Dean by studio head Jack Warner isn’t clear. What is clear is that Dean tragically perished in the car on his way to a race in Salinas, Calif., at the age of 24, remaining

The 1964 Aston Martin DB5 is considered one of the coolest cars of all time.

forever young and sparing fans from a Brando-esque decline. Dean and the 550 were the originators of the cool ethos “live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse.” 3. 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390: Combine a Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT 390 Fastback, Steve “The King of Cool” McQueen and “Bullitt,” which contains perhaps the greatest chase scene ever committed to celluloid—it just doesn’t get any cooler than this. 4. 1957 Continental Mark II: The Continental MK II of 1956-57 wasn’t branded a Lincoln. Continental was a division unto itself for those years, and to this day it

remains America’s best attempt at building a car of Rolls-Royce or Bentley calibre. At 10 grand, it was double the cost of the average Cadillac and so much hand labor went into the car that Ford estimates they lost $1,000 on each one. The Mark II’s spot in the iconography of cool comes from its association with the Rat Pack during its Vegas/Palm Springs glory years. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

2014 Volvo XC60 has arrived in Canadanavia The new Volvo XC60 has a sleek profile with sweptback headlights and raised hood give the sport ute a smart look and you don’t have to be Swedish to enjoy it. You have to hand it to the Europeans for their incredible automotive designs and attention to detail. The wheels are a standard 19-inch with an option to go with 20s, which I prefer. They really fill the wheel wells in quite nicely. Volvo has a history of having some of the safest automobiles out there but who knew they were this comfortable?

holders, and a leather clad shifter knob. The back seats are 40/20/40 split folding. I really like the use of aluminum for the inlays and the fabric that extends all the way up the B-pillars. Nice touch.

A high performance audio system by Volvo comes with aux and IPod jack, and is Bluetooth capable plus its Sirius XM ready. The touch screen allows you to browse the internet, stream your playlist and get travel directions. The power under the hood is a 3.0 litre, inline 6 cylinder with dual overhead cam, 24 valve, turbo charged and a six-speed, geartronic auto transmission. The T-6 model features paddle shifters. An impressive 325 horsepower with 354 pound feet of torque is squeezed out of this straight six. Traction control is standard on the 2014 model and the torque vectoring system helps reduce under steer by applying brakes to the inside wheels when accelerating out of a curve in the road.

Specs: Warranty: Standard

4-year 80,000 km Fuel economy: 11.5/7.5 L/100km (city/highway) Price: $57,845 (as tested)

The 2014 Volvo XC60 has little or no noise room inside the cab. Speaking about safety, the available technology package includes collision warning with full auto brake, cyclist detection, pedestrian detection, land departure

warning, and distance alert. Pretty much anything dangerous that gets in your way, this vehicle is going to tell you about it and react automatically. Standard

safety equipment includes Whiplash protection seating system, Tire pressure monitoring system, Side impact airbags, Driver and front passenger

dual threshold airbags, Side impact protection and Inflatable side curtain air bag. Driving around the city in the XC60 not only makes you feel safe and comfortable, but there is little to no road noise inside the cab. The engine is smooth and responsive. The door seals and heavy use of sound deadening material offered a stress-free driving experience. That is until I hit Vancouver’s car-clogged Cambie Street. ian.harwood@ drivewaybc.ca

Compact concept has the look and performance promise of a champ ‘‘

Sebastian Vettel’s involvement and input on performance specifications suggest this will be no slouch in takeoff and handling.

’’

Keith Morgan

LOS ANGELES – Four-time Formula One champion driver Sebastian Vettel has his fingerprints all over the Infiniti Q30 Concept on display at this city’s international auto show. If that were literally the case, the detailing crew constantly cruising the show floor would soon remove his dabs. However, the hands-on impressions of the Infiniti-Red Bull racer are more than skin deep, extending deep into the performance of the sporty compact. No powerplant details have been revealed for the car that will start rolling off the production line in early 2015 at Infiniti’s first European-based plant in the northeast U.K. city of Sunderland. However, Vettel’s involvement and input on performance specifications suggests this will be no slouch in takeoff and road handling. The Q30

Concept is the first model that the 26-year-old German driver has influenced from start-to-finish in his role as Infiniti’s Director of Performance. And a few words on that before we take a look at the sleek auto’s design. My cynical colleagues have suggested publicly that Vettel’s title is no more than a marketing ploy, with Vettel filling no more than a celebrity spokesman role. It is most certainly not the case, based on my private conversations with some Infiniti engineers. Just prior to my arrival for a drive with the young phenom on a French track this past spring, he had secretly put a number of Infiniti products and competitors through their paces and given immediate trackside input on suggested adjustments. In fact, one engineer told me Vettel is remarkable in the way he can do one lap and return with a complete commentary on how a car performed on every part of the track. If the F1 gig doesn’t work out there’s maybe a new career opp for him in the near future! The Q30 Concept is a fusion of coupe, hatchback, and crossover body styles and, like Vettel’s racecar, there’s liberal use of carbon fibre throughout. That makes it a very light, aerodynamic and thus potentially high-performing and economical car. Interestingly, I’m told the designers combined Italian coachwork with the

The Infiniti Q30 Concept has a stylish interior.

Japanese art of calligraphy to create the lightweight design. Inside, cream and bronze leather features with violet bespoke tailoring, along with contrasting matte and gloss finished metalwork. Sculpted ceramics are integrated into the upper front seatbacks housing speakers for a “symphonic audio experience.” It offers a level of technologies and features not typically found in compact cars, such as the Infiniti InTouch infotainment system, which uses two touch screens. Infiniti claims it expects significant growth in the compact premium segment among young-minded affluent customers. Note the reference to young minded. “The Infiniti Q30 Concept is highly predictive of a new head-turning premium compact that we will launch in early 2015,” said Michael Bartsch, vice-president, Infiniti Americas. “Research among the new generation of buyers – with Gen X and Gen Y soon to represent 80 per cent of the market – shows an increasing rejection of traditional notions toward premium cars. These buyers are less willing to connect size, presence and high-output power as key ingredients of the premium product. Rather, they’re looking more for balance, great design and outstanding execution.” keith.morgan@ drivewaybc.ca

LEFT: The Infiniti Q30 Concept embodies Infiniti’s vision to deliver headturning design, innovative materials with precise fit and finish and passionate craftsmanship, while provoking a radical shift in the premium compact segment.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

If you have $1.1 million burning a hole in your jeans pocket then this could be the car for you. The Youabian Puma has been all the talk this past week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The bulbous shaped, four-seat convertible is a massive 6.15 metres long, 2.24 metres wide and stands 1.8 metres tall, sitting atop a 4.15-metre wheelbase. It’s larger than a big Bentley Mulsanne.

Burnaby’s magic man to perform at Cowan Central grad SawChuck returns to Burnaby for show Murray the Magician is coming home. The Burnaby native will be performing one show at the James Cowan Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 14. It’s been a long and circuitous journey since Murray SawChuck left his hometown with a dream of incorporating his passions for magic, music and dance into a stage act that would do his showbiz idols like Dean Martin, Johnny Carson and Phyllis Diller proud. He’s performed in theatres from Paris to Shanghai to Hollywood, to a nightly show at the New Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. His illusions of producing a Ferrari in mid-air, transforming a girl in a locked cage into a tiger and making a 1918 steam locomotive disappear got him to the semifinals in America’s Got Talent on NBC. He pulled off the latter illusion with only three hours of rehearsal. “That’s probably the most pressure I had to perform,” said Murray. One of the judges, Sharon Osbourne, called the feat better than David Copperfield, but he didn’t get enough votes to reach the final. He did, however, parlay that into a regular appearance as the magic expert on the History Channel series Pawn Stars, as

Magician Murray SawChuck, a graduate of Burnaby Central, will perform at the James Cowan Theatre on Dec. 14.

well as a guest on other reality series like Last Comic Standing, What Not to Wear and Masters of Illusion. Murray grew up in west Burnaby and

graduated from Burnaby Central. He got his first taste of magic when at the age of seven his parents gave him a Siegfried & Roy magic kit.

Murray’s show at the James Cowan Theatre begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are available by calling 604-205-3000. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

GVHBA Coats for Kids campaign will keep spirits bright By Kerry Vital

The temperatures are steadily falling, and it’s time to break out the cozy winter coats, gloves, hats and scarves. However, for those who can’t afford all of that warm gear, this season might be less than cheerful. To combat this, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Association has kicked off its annual Coats for Kids campaign, hoping to beat last year’s collection number. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heart-warming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers and adults,” says GVHBA Board of Directors Chair Lynn Harrison. The donation drive supports the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which helps provide a brighter Christmas for families in need. This year marks the 18th year of the campaign, which

brings together members all over the Lower Mainland. “I am delighted so many prominent members of our association are participating,” says Harrison. “It is so important to help families in our communities who are in need, especially during this time of the year.” New or gently used winter coats, scarves, gloves, toques, warm blankets and sweaters and other warm items of clothing are all welcomed, as well as unwrapped gifts and toys or monetary donations. Among the locations you can drop off items are many Black Press community newspaper offices, developers and other housing industry professionals in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, Vancouver and West Vancouver. For a full list of participating locations and times when you can drop off donations, visit www.gvhba.org/coatsforkids.

Ledingham McAllister’s Charland features spacious floorplans with high-end details such as elegant kitchen cabinetry, large windows and stainless-steel appliances. The exterior architecture is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, making for beautiful curb appeal.

Life doesn’t end at your front door at LedMac’s Charland By Kerry Vital

Life is full of surprises, activities and excitement, and Ledingham McAllister is keeping that in mind with Charland, its condominium development in Coquitlam. “We took your whole lifestyle into account,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing and design for Ledingham McAllister. “Life doesn’t end at your front door.” In order to cater to that, Charland includes

thoughtful touches such as a bicycle repair station, bike-sized storage lockers and storage for kayaks and paddles, making the development perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. It also has the perfect location, just blocks from the Vancouver Golf Club and Blue Mountain Park, as well as shopping, dining and schools. “It’s all about location, location, location,” says Mirecki. “There are mountain bike trails galore around here, and it’s incredibly green.” Charland is joining the well-established Austin Heights neighbourhood, and will take advantage of some of the amazing views in the area. “The views of Mount Baker and the golf course are absolutely beautiful,” Mirecki says. Charland is equally beautiful, with its Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired exterior architecture, bamboo garden with its own seating area, infinity-pool water feature and

rooftop terrace. “There’s a real sense of pride in the outside,” says Mirecki. Inside, the 88 spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans range from approximately 604 to 1,003 square feet, with a large balcony or patio in every home. Among the features you’ll find in your new space are nine-foot ceilings and contemporary laminate flooring throughout the main living areas. The kitchen in particular demonstrates the luxury of the home. “The kitchens are spectacular,” Mirecki says. “They have all those things you would expect in a West Vancouver home. They’re really the showpiece.” Stainless-steel appliances, halogen pot lights and under-cabinet lighting are just three of those features. The cabinetry and countertops differ depending on your colour scheme. The Dogwood scheme showcases

white Shaker-style cabinets complemented by quartz composite countertops with linearstyle ceramic tile, while the Evergreen scheme includes flat-panel cabinets in a warm-grey wood-grain finish and quartz composite countertops paired with a modern porcelain mini-mosaic tile backsplash. You’ll also find a breakfast bar or large kitchen island in most homes. Luxurious bathrooms feature square-edge quartz countertops and porcelain tile floors. The master ensuite includes a deep soaker tub with full-height ceramic tile surround and recessed pot lighting, which continues in the main bathroom as well. “These are beautiful homes and floorplans,” Mirecki says. Homes at Charland start at $219,900. For more information, check out www.ledmac. com/charland, call 604-492-3388 or visit the presentation centre at 102-1020 Austin Avenue, Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 5 p.m.
