Stopping money laundering as simple as placing cop in casino Victoria being ‘wilfully blind’ to role in cleaning crime proceeds
Kwantlen fashion students put on The Show Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux, who uses a wheelchair, modelled Kwantlen fashion student Kaylyn MacKenzie’s final project of adaptive apparel. Graduating students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s fashion program dazzled audiences with their designs at The Show, a professionally-produced showcase that will put 37 one-of-a-kind fashion lines on the catwalk at Richmond’s River Rock Show Theatre yesterday.

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter If River Rock Casino Resort and the provincial government really wanted to stop money laundering in casinos, the solution is as simple as spelling RCMP. Just place a Mountie in the all-seeing security surveillance room, decked out in dozens of TV screens peering through the seemingly ubiquitous domed cameras on casino ceilings, and instruct the officer to question a guest every time someone comes in with $10,000 or more in cash. Garry Clement, president and CEO of Clement Advisory Group, and former director of the RCMP’s federal proceeds of crime program, told The Richmond Review if government wanted to take the issue seriously, it could also just stop accepting cash. Casinos already accept wire transfers, certified cheques and bank drafts, he noted. Clement’s comments come in the wake of a CTV story, based on confidential documents it obtained highlighting the extent of suspicious behaviour in B.C. casinos, where gamblers “routinely carry bags loaded with small bills onto the gaming floor,” CTV’s Mi-Jung Lee reported. “In one case from 2012, a ‘Mr. F’ walked into a casino’s VIP room with a backpack and bought in for $200,000 using all $20 bills,” CTV reported. “He has an extensive history of suspicious transactions, according to the documents, and once brought in $1.6 million in a single month.” Of the 1,013 suspicious transactions in 2013, none resulted in criminal charges, CTV reported. “Accepting large amounts of cash is setting themselves up as a conduit for money laundering,” Clement said. Asked if the province is “wilfully blind” to the existence of money laundering in B.C. casinos, Clement said: “Absolutely.” Government shouldn’t be acting as a conduit for cleaning “ill-gotten gains,” because doing so means it’s in “possession of the proceeds of crime,” which makes it part of the problem, he said.

Ginseng as you’ve never seen it before Local artist uses roots to draw connections with elderly Chinese women by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
A
n opening reception is Saturday for a new exhibition at Richmond Art Gallery.
Elders and Roots by Vancouver Artist Evan Lee features scanned images of ginseng roots and drawings of elderly Chinese women. The exhibition, guest curated by Bill Jeffries, shows the cultural affinities between them. “A lot of my works are based on photography, but I experiment with photography and do things like trying to avoid the use of a camera,” said Lee in a video interview with the gallery. Three different works comprise the show: a series of pictures called “Ginseng Roots Studies,” a series of drawings entitled “Old Women,” and the video installation “Manual Labour.”
Elders and Roots •A new art exhibition from Evan Lee at Richmond Art Gallery April 26 to June 15 •Opening reception, open to the public, is Saturday, April 26, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the gallery (7700 Minoru Gate); admission by donation •Artist will give a talk Saturday, May 31 from 2 to 3 p.m.
His ginseng images were captured not with a camera, but a desktop scanner, which allowed him to make 36 high-resolution pictures without using large format film. Each of the roots in the series were purchased at a local supermarket. His drawings also number 36. He created them from photographs he took of elderly Chinese women walking, working and resting on the streets of East Vancouver. His video piece is a series of photographs depicting a man working in a residential construction site. All of his subjects came from the everyday—includ-

Woman gets three years for stabbing husband to death Pui Chun Winnie Poon stabbed husband in the heart in August 2012

Would-be weavers can try their hand at the craft in a series of public workshops that will make use of unusual materials. For the second year in a row, the Richmond Weavers and Spinners Guild is hosting three public weaving workshops using plants, with the help of local artist Marina Szijarto. The first workshop takes place Saturday, May 3, on the topic of harvesting and preparing local plants for weaving. It’s scheduled for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Steveston Community Centre. The focus will be on harvesting plants in Richmond—both native and invasive species—and preparing them for weaving. Two more workshops will be offered in the fall, where participants will be able to complete a woven object in one day. A community sculpture project is also being organized. Guild members will be out at Richmond Maritime Festival in August and Culture Days events in September to engage participants in creating a woven community sculpture with local plants. The finished art piece will be installed at Richmond Cultural Centre. “Learning to work with our local plants as an art material has the potential to connect us to the plants that are all
A woman who stabbed her husband to death will be spending the next 474 days in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter. While Crown counsel Kathy Murphy sought a sentence of between four and six years, Richmond provincial court Judge Lyndsay Smith sentenced Pui Chun Winnie Poon, 37, to just three years jail on Tuesday. But Poon also received 1.5 times credit for the time she’s been in pre-custody confinement, which means she’s got less than 16 months remaining on her sentence. Poon and her 38-year-old husband, whose name is barred from being published, got into an argument over a bowl of noodles on Aug. 14, 2012 in their Ackroyd Road apartment. She complained that during a family gathering, he failed to pay enough attention to her, and then didn’t refill her bowl with noodles. After originally being charged with second-degree murder, Poon pled guilty to manslaughter. During Poon’s sentencing hearing, Murphy pointed out that Poon egged on her husband to assault her, and that she played emotional head games during their final argument. Poon stabbed her husband once in the chest with a kitchen knife, between the second and third rib, striking a blood vessel near his heart. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

around us,” said Szijarto, a Finn Slough resident, in a news release. “By working with our hands, creating and learning together, we also act on another human impulse—the coming together and weaving of community.” Last year guild members combed the tall grass on the Middle Arm foreshore to harvest materials for their first such weaving projects. They collected bunches of tall yellow flag-iris plants, a flowering perennial not native to Richmond.
Admission to the May 3 workshop is $15 (free for guild members). To register or for more information e-mail richmondplantweaving@gmail. com. The 30-member guild holds monthly meetings at the Richmond Arts Centre, and also manages a drop-in studio, group projects, equipment rentals, library and workshops. New members are welcome.

Police are ‘bad for business’ From Page 1 Word would spread quickly if every cash transaction were immediately scrutinized at the casino door. Clement guesses that casino revenues would drop 20 per cent. Considering it’s a billiondollar annual business in B.C., that makes this the $200-million question. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said money laundering has always been a concern, something local police have on its radar. Brodie said he voted against the expansion of gambling in Richmond, worried about the increase in crime, and the social cost of gambling. “Money laundering is a very difficult issue to resolve, but they do what they can,” Brodie said. But with the city recently reaping a record $18 million from its share of casino revenues, isn’t Brodie
potentially biting the hand that feeds the city? “I want a city that is crime free, and I would never want to condone or encourage criminal activity, whether or not it puts money in the city’s coffers.” A source told The Richmond Review that for this policy to work, a police officer would have to be stationed at every casino in the province, around the clock. Otherwise the money launderers would just pick up their bags stuffed with 20s, and move to the next closest casino. This surveillance room watches casino staff and gamblers extremely closely, to ensure there’s no theft or cheating. If the casino were to stop the flow of suspicous cash, “that would end their business,” the source said. The source added: “When was the last time you saw a uniformed police officer doing a routine
patrol in the casino. It’s not a welcome place for police officers. They’re bad for business.” Brodie said he will ask Richmond RCMP Supt. Rennie Nesset to come to an upcoming city hall meeting to discuss the money-laundering issue. Brodie added that River Rock Casino Resort has been an incredible community business partner. “They do a lot for our city. I know their attitude. They want a clean operation and they work very hard to keep it that way.” River Rock spokesperson Chuck Keeling, a vice-president with Great Canadian Gaming, said the Richmond waterfront casino abides by moneylaundering protocols followed by other institutions as well, including banks and realtors. “We’re no different from a bank in terms of what is expected of us when we

get large cash transactions,” Keeling said. Whenever somebody brings $10,000 or more in cash, their personal information is collected, and then the information is reported to Canada’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing group FINTRAC, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, he said. It was just a few years ago, he noted, when casino patrons were prohibited from using anything other than cash. He said money laundering isn’t easy at casinos. Cheques are only issued in two circumstances, he said, and are clearly labelled in the appropriate manner in each case. If a customer’s win has been verified, they will only be issued a cheque in the amount confirmed by the casino, and it will be branded on its face: Players Gaming Club Winnings. Otherwise, the casino’s cheque will have printed on its face: “Return of Funds Not Gaming Winnings.” Keeling added: “A casino will only issue a cheque for verified winning amounts where it can indeed verify that the funds are winnings generated at that particular casino.”

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Local seniors will have an extra jump in their step thanks to a new $19,000 federal grant aimed at helping older adults remain active, healthy and contributing members of the community. On Wednesday morning, Richmond MP Alice Wong put on her boots and trecked to The Sharing Farm at Terra Nova Park, to make the funding announcement outside the farm’s Seniors Greenhouse Club. “I think this project is a surefire recipe for success,” Wong said. Sporting raised beds that make it easier for seniors to plant seedlings and eventually harvest crops for donation to the local food bank, the club will use the money to upgrade its collection of garden tools and modify greenhouse shelving that will make it easier for seniors to access. The project is expected to benefit 5,000 seniors, with a shuttle bus service that will be set up at Richmond Seniors Centre which will ferry interested seniors to the West Richmond farm. “As people get older, they look for new ways to stay active and make a difference in their communities,” said Wong, minister of state for seniors. “By supporting projects such as these, we’re making sure that seniors maintain a good quality of life.” Maureen Langan, co-chair of The Sharing Farm, said: “In order for us to continue the important work we do for the community, The Sharing Farm relies heavily on the generous donations from individuals, corporations and government agencies.” Volunteers spent some 14,000 hours at the farm, helping it fulfill its mandate, she said. Greenhouse co-ordinator Susan Lee Hem acknowledged that “community-minded seniors” played a pivotal role in the founding of The Sharing Farm. See Page 7

Sharing Farm gets federal funding From Page 5 “I have to remember Mary Gazetas and her friends who are the ones who initially started off by gleaning fruits trees within Richmond and from there began growing vegetables in the Steveston area,” she said. She recognized the Sharing Farm has a great environment for socializing and contributing to the community. “With the funding, with the facilities that we have here, with this beautiful environment that we have here, now we need to get that message out there to the seniors who are feeling isolated, who are feeling like they are no longer useful, who have lost connection maybe with their friends, who are no longer active in the workplace, to know that there is a place for you.” She added: “There is a place for you to come and exercise, breathe the most wonderful fresh air, watch the seasons go by, enjoy all of the nature we are surrounded by...and develop new relationships, new friendships...”

Foreign driver licences now accepted by RCMP Foreign drivers who don’t have an international driving permit, can now avoid a ticket in B.C. communities patrolled by the RCMP, so long as the remedy isn’t lost in translation. B.C. Mounties and the Insurance Corporation of B.C. have reached an agreement, whereby foreign driver licences will be accepted when a vehicle is pulled over, so long as the driver carries a translation of that document,
RCMP Cpl. Rob McDonald told The Richmond Review. He recalls pulling somebody over, and that person handing over a licence that was in Russian. “I don’t read Russian. Is it a library card? What tells me it’s a driver’s licence?” In the past, drivers pulled over in Richmond who didn’t have an international driving permit, faced a $276 fine as well as the prospect of having their vehicle towed, since police can’t allow a driver
to leave unless they have a driver’s licence. Since the issue was raised by Richmond RCMP a couple of weeks ago, after they raised concerns it was a daily occurrence for a driver to be pulled over with a proper licence, the provincial insurer and B.C. Mounties have held talks to come up with a system that addresses police concerns. If a foreign driver can’t get an international driving permit—as regulated

The life of a Power of Attorney Last week, reasons for judgment were released in a case called Browne v. Brown Estate. In this case, the deceased died in 2010. Under the Will, the named Executrix (now known under the new legislation as the personal representative) is a daughter and the alternate named Executor is the deceased’s son. The son applied to have the daughter removed as Executrix and replaced by him. The daughter took a number of steps after the deceased’s death which the son objected to. For example, the daughter was given Power of Attorney by the deceased some years earlier, and used it in 2011, a year after the deceased died, to sell the deceased’s residence (really the only asset of the Estate). The sale proceeds were then placed into the daughter’s own bank account. Some of the Executrix’s personal debts were apparently paid with the funds as well. The Executrix also failed to make an application for Probate of the Will. The son argued essentially that the daughter was in conflict and therefore should not be acting as an Executrix. The Court agreed, and Ordered that the son be appointed sole Executor in the daughter’s place. Under Section 30 of the Power of Attorney Act, a Power of Attorney is ineffective once the person granting it dies. In my view, the Executrix should not have used the Power of Attorney a year after the deceased died to sell the house (also, in my opinion, the sale proceeds should have been placed in an Estate account rather than a personal account).

EDITORIAL: Put pupils first in school budgets
S
chool district budgeting isn’t just about addition and subtraction – it takes some seriously advanced mathematics. B.C. has 60 school districts dealing with similar issues and a lot of trustees brainstorming, but unfortunately it takes a lot of nickels and dimes to dent a multimillion-dollar shortfall. Public education is underfunded, but at the same time, throwing money at the problem can only do so much. We need restraint, flexibility and creativity. We all have our fond or not-so-fond memories
of how school used to be back in the old days. Times have changed. Cities have sprawled, families are smaller, students live farther apart, enrolment has declined and for all those reasons, education can’t be delivered with the same economies of scale. It’s frustrating, during budget time, to talk in terms of ‘delivery of education’ when schools do infinitely more. They’re about interactions and friendships, life lessons, achievement and growth. They’re places to pursue hobbies and interests, arts and culture, sports and recreation. They’re libraries, daycares, hangouts.
They must continue to be all of these things. As the board balances its books, children must be the first consideration and we trust that they will be. And things will turn out OK. Pupils can handle dog-eared textbooks, outdated computers, long bus rides and occasional gaps in supervision. Kids are tough and they’ll accept school for what it is. We need to be tough, too – suffer these cuts, if we must, and no matter what, never stop teaching, challenging and engaging our kids. —Black Press
Refinery would be cutting edge

David Black This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the BC environment in our lifetime. The Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the BC coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years. My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed. The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits: •There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that in combination with oilsands extraction there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words the
Black Press A tanker loaded with Alberta heavy crude leaves Vancouver harbour with tugboat escorts.
Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the BC Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery. •An Asian refinery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than BC coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Canada. •Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project
has ever created in BC with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout the province. •The Canadian and Provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year. Unfortunately our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction which is more profitable than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and as a consequence
Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work. We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and US government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada. In addition we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia.
This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in BC so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea. Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in BC. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers. If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month.

Public Access to BC Children’s Hospital Emergency has changed.
Trees today - gone tomorrow at Minoru Park Editor: When changes are proposed in Steveston, the City publishes notices in the newspaper and public meetings are held and residents have time to review drawings and comment. Residents of the centre of the city do not receive the same consideration from the city. This week significant changes began in Minoru Park and neighbouring residents received almost no notice, and no request for comment. The city simply posted signs in Minoru Park just before the Easter long weekend and promptly cut down 50-year-old trees at the beginning of this work week. When will City Centre residents be consulted and included in planning to their neighbourhood like other Richmond residents are included in planning? Peter Mitchell Richmond

New development doesn’t fit with Steveston Editor: Part of educated, enlightened community planning is ensuring that new buildings compliment the character of the neighbourhoods in which they are placed. But all one needs to do is look at the new atrocity that now dominates Steveston’s townscape to be once again reminded that this is Richmond, a community where our politicians are oblivious to this basic principle and developers are free to build any obnoxiously insensitive piece of architecture they wish. Aside from the myriad ways that this outof-scale edifice insults the neighbourhood, it might be safe to assume that any hopes of getting any kind of heritage designation for the town have now been seriously compromised, The city and the developer should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, but, like I said, this is Richmond, the place where people can come to see what not to do when planning communities.

DENTAL IMPLANT ADVANTAGES
food
Richmond chefs clean up at Chinese Restaurant Awards
There are two major advantages to be noted with dental implants: 1. Improved appearance: In the first year of losing or extracting a tooth you can lose up to 50% of the bone required for a dental implant. If an implant is placed it will stimulate the bone much like the natural root of a tooth and prevent the face from collapsing due to bone loss. 2. Maintaining natural teeth: Dental implants eliminate the need to modify adjacent teeth to replace missing teeth via a bridge.

ne month into spring and in parts of Canada, snow tires are or will be any day now back under wraps. It’s time to set aside tread worries for a while. Snowbirds are back. Long road trips are probably not on their agendas for the summer. But for the stalwarts, road trip dreams are reward for making it through the winter. And road trip dreaming can take you in unexpected directions. Mix in the visuals from the recent New York auto show and you may even find yourself steering into your local auto mall. Auto shopping is big-ticket stuff, not to be undertaken lightly no matter what your budget may be. You need—you must have—a cool head. But if you have had any recent contact with the outside world, any brush by a television, radio, newspaper, billboard, magazine, computer you will have seen or heard a car ad and there is no immunity to this exposure. Car advertisers know this about humans. The oddest little detail can turn their heads. Hence the enormous amounts of talent, effort and money spent to capture their hearts and banish their intellect to the back of the garage with the old snow tires. But, as a general rule, pure pragmatism also weighs in on the time-for-a-new-ornewer-vehicle debate. Consider that for all the marvelous technology packed into your current vehicle from front to back ‘bumper’ and from left to right door handle, newer vehicles, somehow, year in and year out manage to be even more marvelous. Fuel
efficiency continues to improve. Hybrids are almost old hat these days. Electric cars charge quickly and go for longer and farther than ever thought possible. Ever rising safety standards keep sweeping older ‘luxury’ level features into the deepest discount compact. Pick almost any one of the thousands of components that comprise the modern vehicle and trace the history of its development. Aside from the relatively small number of glitches— GM’s ignition switch misfortune for example— ‘better’ keeps getting better. The best source for comparison-shopping and price definition may be edmunds.com, the first automotive information web site dating back to 1995. An offshoot advice book, Edmunds.com Strategies for Smart Car Buyers is available at most bookstores and online through Amazon.com. Edmunds.com data is obtained from automakers, dealers and other auto industry companies. The Edmunds.com team, comprised of “PhDs, statisticians and other experts” reports, interprets and analyzes this material for the purposes of the various services the website offers including pricing tools and pricing projections. Another resource is the work of dedicated auto journalists like Dan Neil, the automotive columnist for the Wall Street Journal and the 2004 Pulitzer prize winner for criticism for his [then] LA Times column Rumble Seat. In making this award, the Pulitzer board described Mr. Neil’s work as “one-of-a-kind reviews of automobiles, blending technical expertise with offbeat humor and astute cultural criticism.” Regardless of where you find yourself on the car-buying calendar, Mr. Neil is a writer well worth following regularly.

the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S. Verdict This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment. With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI engine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales. This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 1.8L turbo with 170hp, 2.0L turbo with 210hp, 2.0L turbo with 300hp and 2.0L diesel.

Five cars loved and loathed in equal measure
Some people will come to blows over the merits of the 1980-85 Seville
‘‘
The old saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” wasn’t coined in reference to cars, but it might as well have been. Some cars, such as the 1963-67 Corvette Sting Ray and Jaguar E-Type, are almost universally admired, while others are passionately loved by some and loathed by others. Here are five of the most polarizing:

1. 1963-64 Studebaker Avanti: The Avanti was a Hail Mary play to save the ailing Studebaker Corporation with a stunning European-style GT car. Ardent Avanti fans point to its timeless styling, which was supervised by the great Raymond Loewy, and the fact that the car remained in production in one form or another for five decades. Non-fans find the grille-less front end and porthole-like headlights to be a non-starter. A recent uptick in prices may indicate that Avanti lovers will have the last laugh on this one. 2. 1971-73 Buick Riviera: The Boattail RivPLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until April 30, 2014.

caricature; it’s best if these two groups aren’t sharing the same air space. Regardless, nobody sits on the fence about this car. 4. 1965-69 Chevrolet Corvair: The first-generation Corvair, introduced in 1959, was a pleasing and clean design. But the second-generation was drop-dead gorgeous. No less an authority than David E. Davis, Jr., writing for Car and Driver, called it one of the most beautiful cars America had produced during the post-war era. But many bowtie fans — used to fins and lots of chrome or the long hood, short rear deck look of
iera was one of the last truly audacious GM creations, and William Mitchell pulled out all of the stops with a huge, dramatic design including a pointed boattail reminiscent of some great 1930s cars. Haters just find it huge and over-the-top. 3. 1980-85 Cadillac Seville: The slant back or bustle trunk Seville was — like the Boattail Riviera — in some ways a throwback to the 1930s-1950s, cribbing a trunk from Bentleys and Daimlers of the era. Some people will come to blows over the merits of this version of the 1980-85 Seville, while some find it to be a

Hyundai Sonata with swoopy sexy styling
*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

and quiet. A green “eco” icon also shows up on the instrument panel to reward the driver for being easy on the gas pedal. A six-speed manual transmission was only offered in the entry-level GL version and all other trim levels came with a six-speed automatic.

ing in terms of rear-seat headroom (for tall adults). A high rear shelf and a steeply raked back window also restrict the driver’s rear vision. That said, the side mirrors are a decent size and many editions come with a back-up camera. Sonata performed well in crash tests and offers a safety package that includes active front seat head restraints. Electronic stability control and a Bluetooth hands-free wireless phone connect feature are standard features. The Limited edition also comes with repeater turn signals on the side mirrors. No major changes were made to Sonata for the 2012 model year, but heated rear seats were added as standard

Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold! Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more. Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that. All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.
Year 2011 2012 2013
I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii. They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world. While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought. Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right? One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected. With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks. My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition! Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.” Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition. Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle. I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school. As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition. Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.
Hyundai gave the Sonata dramatically curvaceous new styling for the 2011 model year and dropped the V6 engine option for the all-new (sixth generation) model. A lighter and more fuelefficient 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder became the engine upgrade offered in this popular mid-sized family sedan, with a full-sized interior The base engine was an impressive new GDI (gasoline direct injection) 2.4-litre four-cylinder that can produce 198-horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. That’s considerably more than the departing base four (175 hp / 168 lb-ft) in the 2010 Sonata. It offers better fuel economy and is rated at 9.4 L/100 km in the city and 5.7 L/100 km on the highway (with automatic). Most buyers will find this base engine completely satisfies their power requirements and it’s more reliable, based on Consumer Reports owner survey results. It possesses good off-the-line power and performs impressively smooth

equipment in the GLS and 2.0T trim levels. The Limited models also got standard proximity key entry with push-button engine start and a panoramic sunroof replaced the standard sunroof. For the 2013 model year a new SE trim level was introduced between GLS and top-line Limited. The SE comes with leather seating, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust tips, and a stiffer suspension calibration. Enhanced breathing also increased the 2.4-litre engine’s output by a couple of horsepower. The 2.0T trim level was discontinued and a manual transmission edition was no longer offered. Good looking and great value, the sixth generation Hyundai Sonata is an excellent used car choice. Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Hyundai Sonata: 2011: The front inside door handle may not return to its normal, stowed position and the door latch can remain in an unlatched position, when attempting to close the door. If the driver or front seat passenger does not notice that a front door is unlatched, the door may open while the vehicle is being driven. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the door latch assemblies. 2011: Steering column intermediate shaft universal joint connection may have been improperly assembled and may produce noise or a loose or unresponsive steering feel.

Charity hoops GARDEN tip off tonight Dig in to these Garden Fresh Specials!
Game at Richmond Christian to support heart and stroke research through Jason Thompson Foundation Sports Editor Tim Subion has spent the better part of this week trying to put together a charity basketball game. It’s been a last-minute exercise, but he’s hopeful everything will come together by tonight’s (Friday) planned tip-off at Richmond Christian Secondary School. Coach of the Richmond Christian Eagles senior boys’ basketball team, Subion—who is also a former Eagles’ player—is building the game around Jason Thompson of the NBA Sacramento Kings. He’s contacted several current and recent university play-
ers from around B.C. to participate in the game, set for 7 p.m. Friday. Thompson has agreed to play in the game at the request of his friend Robert Rodriquez, a player with Langley’s Trinity Western University Spartans. It was at Trinity where Subion and Rodriquez struck up their friendship. Tickets for the game, $10 each, will be sold at the door. Proceeds will go to the Jason Thompson Foundation in support of heart and stroke research. “We think the game is a good opportunity to give back to the community and to help Jason’s foundation,” said Subion.

Brody Greig is the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s Athlete of the Year. The 24-year-old basketball player from Richmond won the award this week, on the heels of leading the Langara Falcons to the national men’s baskebtalll championship with a thrilling 88-86 finalgame victory ove Red Deer College Kings March 15 in Squamish. Greig kept the Falcons alive in the final moments of the match, sinking seven free throws in a row in the last 30 seconds. The sixfoot-three guard averaged a “triple-double” at the tournament, with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists per game. The win secured the Falcons’ first national basketball title in 15 years, and Greig was named MVP of the tournament. His other honours this season included: •Three-time PacWest athlete of the week • PacWest Conference 1st team all-star •PacWest player of the year •PacWest provincial

championship gold medalist •PacWest provincial championship MVP •CCAA All-Canadian “I’d like to thank my teammates and coaches,” Greig said. “And of course I’d like to thank the CCAA, not only for recognizing my personal achievements, but for recognizing the hard work and success of my team.”
Greig is spending the summer working for his family’s business and looking for opportunities to play basketball professionally. “Brody is a natural leader and an incredibly talented athlete,” said men’s basketball head coach Paul Eberhardt, who is helping scout opportunities for Greig. “He’s been a key contributor to the team’s
success this year, and we’re so proud he’s been recognized for his dedication and skill with this award.” Each year one male and one female athlete are chosen from across all CCAA sports to be recognized as Athlete of the Year. The last Langara Falcon to be recognized with the award was soccer player David Griffith in the year 2000.

The Amazing Brentwood will start previewing its first residential tower on April 26. The 28-acre site will be the largest and most impressive new residential community in North America, and will include transit, shopping and dining right on-site.
Making Brentwood amazing with Shape Living By Kerry Vital
Shape Living is transforming Burnaby’s Willingdon and Lougheed neighborhood into North America’s largest and most impressive new residential community. Formerly known as Brentwood Town Centre, Shape is redefining the area as “The Amazing Brentwood.” The project will include a commercial district with shopping, dining and entertainment, capped with some seriously impressive homes. Ten residential towers up to 70 storeys tall are planned and will be home to up to 4,200 residences. Two other towers will be set aside for offices. The existing Brentwood Town Centre mall is getting a complete facelift and will re-open before residents move in. “The sheer size of the 28-acre Brentwood development makes it noteworthy, but what we are really passionate about is how Brentwood takes the art of great place making and the convenience of mixed-use transitoriented development to a whole new level,”
says Darren Kwiatkowski, Executive Vice President of Development for Shape Living. “Brentwood will deliver a truly unique offering in the marketplace.” Transit is a major part of the new Amazing Brentwood community, with SkyTrain arriving directly in the heart of the development at the public plaza, a one-acre space that will be full of shops and restaurants, with over 350 shops and services available once the project is complete. Two of the residential towers will surround the plaza, making shopping, dining and recreation just an elevator ride away. Homeowners at The Amazing Brentwood will also have access to a fully equipped fitness facility, music room and plenty of outdoor space to relax or visit with neighbours and friends, among other amenities. The first tower is called Brentwood ONE, and will include 291 condominium homes. Luxury homes will start on the 33rd floor and rise to the 63rd floor. Below that will be boutique rental properties. The one-bedroom-and-flex condominiums will be available in a range of floorplans between 539 and 560 square feet, while the two-bedrooms will range between 728 and 903 square feet. “They have paid incredible attention to detail at The Amazing Brentwood,” says Tracie McTavish, president at Rennie Marketing Systems. “They’ve thought things
through, and everything is high quality.” Among the gorgeous features at Brentwood ONE will be amazing views from every home and gourmet Italian-imported kitchens with tons of storage, a gas cooktop and a convenient kitchen island. “These kitchens are 40 per cent larger than the usual kitchens,” says McTavish. Nine-foot ceilings are standard throughout, and every home includes a spacious balcony perfect for entertaining. “Shape Living really looked at the livability of these homes,” says McTavish. “They call it ‘intelligent living.’” Shape is providing some thoughtful details in every home as well, including a side-byside washer and dryer, USB and four-plug outlets and at least one parking stall and storage space. The sales centre will open for previews on April 26. “This is something you have to come in and experience,” says McTavish. “It’s that impressive. They’re really catering to consumer demand. If you are planning to buy a condo anywhere, you need to come here first.” Homes at Brentwood ONE start at $299,900 for a one-bedroom and $382,900 for a two-bedroom home. For more information, visit www.theamazingbrentwood.com or stop by the presentation centre and three show homes at 4567 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby.

Students from A.R. MacNeill Secondary School are participating in a nation wide competition called the Junior Achievement Company Program. Taking part in this competition allows students to create their own company and give back to the community. Their company, The Positive Agents, has designed a t-shirt that showcases the word POWER translated into the top 15 languages in Richmond . The PO-W-E-R acronym is the MacNeill school motto which stands for positive attitude, ownership, we not me, excellence, and respect. On Sunday, April 27, students will be at Save-on-Foods in Vancouver (2308 Cambie St.), promoting Power by selling their shirts. They will be raising money for Richmond Hospital and the Kids Help Line.
