hat began as a fiveminute creative short about his friend’s culinary skills last year turned into a year-long documentary project for Richmond’s Jordan Lee, the fruits of which aired last Saturday night on CBC television.
Secret Suppers of Vancouver (tinyurl. com/JordanLeeSSV) revealed the Lower Mainland’s underground restaurant scene, offering a peek into the lives of four chefs who struggle to find their own niche, some of whom turn to using their own homes and kitchens to host modest gatherings of diners eager to challenge their palettes. Facing the prohibitive cost of opening their own restaurant, these chefs have instead turned to hosting small parties while flexing their culinary muscles. Much more at home, here they’re free of the restraints of producing huge quantities of food for hundreds of customers, and the oversight of restaurant owners and managers. Lee caught the film-making bug as a youngster playing with his dad’s old video camera, making movies with his friends. See Page 3

Sharing Farm barn gets $10,000 donation Proposed $200,000 facility to be named Mary’s Barn, after society co-founder by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
R
ichmond MP Alice Wong challenged all Richmond businesses to be as generous as Kin’s Farm Market, which on Thursday donated $10,000 to the proposed $200,000 project to build a new barn for the processing and storage of fresh fruits and vegetables destined for local families in need. Dubbed Mary’s Barn, the barn is named after Mary Gazetas, who helped found the Sharing Farm. She passed away in 2012. Kin’s Farm Market’s founders Kin Wah Leung and Kin Hung Leung joined director Queenie Chu in making the presentation on Thursday morning. In business for 27 years, Kin’s now boasts 29 locations across the
province, and is involved in numerous community projects. Kin Hun Leung said he hopes the barn will be built sooner than later. “We really want to see it. Thanks... for the opportunity to contribute back to the community,” Wong said she’s optimistic that all three levels of government—the city, province and federal government—will be able to come together to contribute in some fashion toward the raising of the $200,000 for the community facility. “The barn will provide us the space to grow more food, to process more food, and give more away,” said Sharing Farm manager James Gates. Some 75 to 80 per cent of the food grown at the Sharing Farm goes to the Richmond Food Bank and community meals in Richmond. For more information about the Sharing Farm, and the project to build Mary’s Barn, visit sharingfarm.ca. Gazetas was an artist, author, ex-City of Richmond employee and former columnist with The Richmond Review. She was one of the founders of the Richmond Fruit Tree Sharing Project, which evolved into the Sharing Farm.
Martin van den Hemel photo Kin’s Farm Market donated $10,000 on Thursday to The Sharing Farm Society (@SharingFarm) to construct a new processing barn, which will be named Mary’s Barn, after former Richmond Review columnist Mary Gazetas, the cofounder of the Sharing Farm who died in 2012. Celebrating the announcement were Sasha Faminoff, Richmond MP Alice Wong, Kin’s Farm Market’s Kin Wah Leung, Queenie Chu and Kin Hun Leung, and Sharing Farm manager James Gates. Wong challenged other Richmond business to chip in to the $200,000 project, which will allow the primarily volunteer-driven farm to ramp up and increase efficiency for the production of fresh fruit and vegetables earmarked for local families in need.

Film-maker turns hobby into a career
Jordan Lee photo Jordan Lee snapped this selfie last year while working on a documentary about how the coconut business has helped transform the lives of the residents of the Solomon Islands.
From Page 1 A product of home schooling, Lee participated in a 16-week Richmond-based video production program called Kaleidoscope during his Grade 12 year. He followed that up by earning a two-year diploma in technology at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, which taught him on the use of a camera, lighting, shooting, editing, planning and both pre- and postproduction work. “I’ve always had an interest in taking raw information and shaping it into something that people can easily take in, enjoy and learn from,” he said. A founding-member of Rview—The Richmond Review’s youth journalism program—during its inaugural year in 2006, Lee said he’s long been fascinated with print, photography and video media as a means of communication. Before recently being hired by Georgia
Street Media, he worked for Blink Media Works, another Lower Mainland video production agency. Lee was originally reluctant to turn his video-making hobby into a career. But it has worked out better than he imagined. He’s now got about a dozen videos on the go, including promotional and documentary productions for broadcast TV and for the web. He also completed and released a documentary last year, about how the coconut has helped transform the lives of residents of the Solomon Islands (tinyurl.com/JordanLeeCoconut). Lee said he feels fortunate to make a living out of his hobby, and enjoys immersing himself in all things video production, working and researching videography techniques.

Guide for parents lists warning signs, prevention by Jeff Nagel
Asphalt paving advisory
Black Press
July 15 to October 15, 2014
Parents are being urged to watch for telltale signs their teen is a dial-a-doper – the bottom rung of drug-dealing organized crime. The indicators – access to a vehicle, carrying multiple cellphones, going out at all days of the day and night on quick errands – are spelled out in detail in a new booklet released by B.C.’s antigang police unit. The guide, titled Understanding Youth and Gangs: A Parent Resource, aims to help parents recognize and ward off the start of gang involvement. It focuses on dial-a-dope drug deliveries because that’s the main entry point for many youth who enter gangs or organized crime activity, said Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC). The entry-level trade is not lucrative like gang recruiters make it out to be, the guide says, arguing most could make more money working fast-food restaurants but instead expose themselves to great risk. Dial-a-dopers are often under extreme pressure, it says, because they often rack up debts and will be held responsible by gangs for any product that’s stolen or fronted without payment. The guide, developed in partnership with the Acting Together (ATCURA) Project and the South Asian

$100m Ponzi scheme snared 200 victims
by Jeff Nagel Black Press A former notary public who bilked scores of Metro Vancouver investors of more than $100 million has been found by securities regulators to have run a Ponzi scheme. Vancouver-based Rashida Samji committed a fraud under the B.C. Securities Act on more than 200 investors between 2003 and 2012, a B.C. Securities Commission panel ruled. Lawyer Scott Nicoll, who acted on behalf of 51 victims from Richmond and Surrey, is not
surprised by the finding. “It was pretty apparent it was a fraud from the outset,” he said. Samji claimed she was offering a secure investment guaranteed to pay 12 per cent a year. Invested cash would go into a trust account that would secure borrowing by a B.C. winery so it could expand internationally. “The whole investment scheme was one big lie,” the B.C. Securities Commission panel states in its ruling. “There was no investment related to the wine business. “Samji used investors’ funds to pay other investors in order to keep the scheme going. She also used investors’ funds for her own purposes. It was a monumental deceit.” The B.C. Securities Commission has yet to determine its sanctions against Samji, who also
faces criminal charges of fraud and is named in civil lawsuits. Nicoll said the victims he represented invested between $50,000 and $1.1 million each. “They were either elderly or still working in very average jobs,” he said. “These were not people who could afford to lose these investments and then go on about their lives.” Nicoll said Samji succeeded in keeping her scheme afloat for so long in part because she ensnared a former investment advisor at Coast Capital Savings who recommended her investment to clients at the credit union. Coast Capital didn’t know its rogue employee Arvin Patel was selling more than just mutual funds and this spring reached out-of-court

settlements of civil action brought by many of the fraud victims. The securities commission said in a previous ruling that the credit union advisor—who put $600,000 of his own money in the scheme— should have known Samji’s claims were false and that high returns with no risk are impossible. Other warning signs included the fact the investment wasn’t approved by the credit union, had no disclosure documentation, and was described as an “exclusive” opportunity not available to the general public. “One of the things that lured them into this investment in the first place was the comfort that their money would be held in a notary public trust ac-

count,” Nicoll said. He is now pressing the Society of Notaries Public of B.C. to agree to use its special compensation fund to help Samji’s victims recoup more of their losses. “We’re hoping the notaries society will make them whole.”

some of his pieces, while from another brought an element he hadn’t quite anticipated that added something alive to the experience. Sager is the featured artist at the Your Kontinent Film and Media Arts Festival, which wraps up this weekend. He assumes a different persona each day he is in the tower—from a techno geek and ordinary guy to a rebel/anarchist, a philosopher and a spiritual person. In an interview at the top of his tower Thursday morning, Sager suggested that art serves to connect disconnected zones. His private 10-foot-by-10-foot space is exposed to a public area, the plaza outside the cultural centre and Richmond Public Library, which on a sunny day bustles with activity. It’s a space that’s both isolated and not isolated, he said. There’s no clear line where something stops and another thing starts, he suggested. People who walked by this week dropped things off for him, including flowers and a plate of veggies. Your Kontinent 2014 features over 20 films and a series of special events. The film Red Obsession is showing on July 26 at 10:30 a.m. at Shiang Garden Restaurant.

Richmond saw a net decrease in bus service between 2010 and 2013, according to a new TransLink report on bus system performance. It concludes TransLink is reaping gains from its ongoing service optimization initiative, which culls service hours from some routes or times where buses are underused and bolsters service in areas where overcrowded buses routinely pass up waiting passengers, or where more buses could attract new riders. Over the three-year period, the South of Fraser bus routes were allocated 11 per cent more service hours, while the North Shore got an extra 8.9 per cent. Richmond, however, was reduced by 3.9 per cent and Maple Ridge/ Pitt Meadows bus service was cut 2.3 per cent. Changes were minimal elsewhere in the region. Bus ridership increased in all parts of the region except Burnaby between 2010 and 2013, with gains of two per cent in Vancouver, the North Shore and the Tri-Cities, 10 per cent in Richmond, 11 per cent in Maple
tional commute times. Further service adjustments are expected for this year and next year, but Busby said there are limits to what the strategy can achieve. “We’re really working around the edges with the changes we are able to make,”he said.“We know we need to grow the transit system to keep up with demand.” Metro Vancouver mayors have proposed a major expansion of bus service, along with extended rapid transit lines, but are still in talks with the provincial government as to what new taxes might be put to a regional referendum to pay for the plan. Service optimization was one of the recommendations for more efficiency from a 2012 audit that argued TransLink was spending too much running buses in areas with few prospective riders that generated little in revenue. Critics feared reform would mean sacrificing routes and service aimed at building ridership in neighbourhoods that aren’t yet densely populated but are growing fast and will end up with large numbers of cardependent residents without a viable transit alternative. But TransLink doesn’t allocate service in direct proportion with existing ridership, in recognition of the balance it must strike between serving current passengers and attracting new ones.

Ridge/Pitt Meadows, 15 per cent South of the Fraser (Surrey, White Rock, Langley, North Delta) and a 21 per cent increase in South Delta. Overall, it means TransLink is moving about three per cent more people by bus with largely the same resources as 2010—an extra eight million trips per year. “We’re pleased with the results,” said TransLink’s Jeff Busby.“We’re trying to do the best we can with the resources we have.” Busby said the cut in Richmond bus service was because many residents began using the Canada Line after it opened in 2010. The report says the strategy has eased crowding on routes like the 25, 41, and 99 B-Line in Vancouver, the 319 in Surrey, 106 in Burnaby/ New West and the 410 in Richmond. It also allowed the launch of new routes such as the 188 along Coast Meridian and David Avenue in the Tri-Cities and extending the 335 in Surrey to Newton along 72 Avenue. Busby said some gains have come from making bus schedules more efficient, with better route designs that reduce the time to get to and from depots. He said there’s been significant growth in ridership at off-peak times and weekends, particularly in Surrey, Richmond and the North Shore, suggesting transit is becoming more useful to more people outside tradi-

EDITORIAL: The court of public opinion
I
t appears that Prime Minister Stephen Harper intends to avoid testifying in the trial of suspended-senator Mike Duffy, now facing 31 criminal charges connected with his disputed expense claims.
While legal experts claim it’s entirely likely that Harper will be called to testify by Duffy’s defense in response to bribery charges, a spokesman has made it clear this week that Harper feels he has no further information to add to what he has already supplied to the RCMP. This is yet another instance of
Harper’s increasing disconnect with the electorate. Whatever reasons he offers, it is obvious that the desire to avoid anything that might prove embarrassing —standard equipment for politicians—has yet again trumped any attempt at transparency or respect for due process. We’ll leave it to the courts to rule whether Harper can invoke parliamentary privilege to avoid testifying, but he’s not likely to score any points with the ordinary citizen by doing so. Do any of us imagine we could avoid a subpoena to appear as a witness in a trial by claiming we had nothing useful to add? Any judge in this land would tell us it’s
not our place to conclude whether our testimony would or wouldn’t be useful. It would be highly presumptive for us to assume that we could anticipate any and all lines of questioning, and we’d likely get our knuckles rapped for it. But then we’re not the prime minister—and not able to avail ourselves of his privileges, parliamentary or otherwise. Harper has persistently sought to distance himself from the actions of the Prime Minister’s Office on the Duffy file—a situation that would be laughable if it did not reveal how tragically flawed our political system is. Cloaked in his mantle of privilege, Harper has decried the kinds
of actions his appointee to the senate is accused of perpetrating, stopping just short of accusing the man himself. Yet Duffy has alleged, just as persistently, that the prime minister is not as far removed from the affair as one would have us believe. Whatever our presumptions with regard to Duffy, the accused deserves his day in court. And Canadians deserve the kind of leader who is willing to endure some personal discomfiture to testify, openly and honestly, in a court of law. Anything short of that is an insult —to our people, to our principles, and, ultimately, to our country. —Black Press
What an army sergeant could teach B.C. about water
Green Scene Stephen Mullins
R
ecently I asked a number of family and friends if they could recall the thirstiest they’d ever been, a question inspired after I was parched and sunburned in 35˚C heat on a visit to Port Alberni.
Turns out, everyone I talked to had sharp memories of times they thought they were literally going to die of thirst. Not pleasant, to be sure. For myself, the incident that jumped most clearly to my mind wasn’t the Port Alberni trip, but back when I was doing basic training in the Canadian Forces. My platoon had been marching for kilometers through the dry, dusty country roads of the Fraser Valley outside of Chilliwack, each of us lugging 40 kg backpacks through a July heatwave. Most of us, despite warnings from our sergeant, had emptied our canteens far too early in the day, ignoring our training in how to ration water. So when we finally got replenished from a supply truck later on, the water tasted like the nectar of the gods. Yet despite the rigours
of summer training, I also remember marvelling at the extent of the farms all through the Fraser Valley, flourishing with blueberries, peppers, cauliflower, corn and other fruits and veggies. Truly a breadbasket region, but one that faces dual threats: the slower disaster of water shortages in the summer, versus the rapid disaster of devastating floods in the spring. Recently a major study commissioned by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce called for urgent action to prevent catastrophic flooding of the Fraser River that would cause tens of billions of dollars in damage to commercial, residential and farm development all down the valley. According to a separate study by the B.C. government, climate change will make the risk of such destructive floods much more likely. So water is on many people’s minds this summer. Too much here and in recently flooded Saskatchewan and Manitoba, too little in the north where forest fires are raging out of control, or in droughtstricken California. For food security advocates, the prolonged and worsening California situation looms particularly large. In B.C., 70 per cent of our imported fruits and vegetables come from California, including staples like lettuce, oranges, berries and broccoli. Not only is the drought causing prices to spike, but the quality is dropping as well. With salary increases either non-existent or lagging far behind the rate of inflation for low-income or middleclass families, these soaring
Province of B.C. photo Forest fires are raging out of control in parts of Northern B.C.
food prices are a vexing problem. My old sergeant would have had some choice words about how Californians have managed their water – essentially, they used it all up in the first part of their march. For most of the last century, California’s climate has been unusually wet, so they largely ignored warnings that they would one day face megadroughts that can last for decades. Now they have a big problem on their hands. So how did California abuse its water supply? Green lawns everywhere in a desert-like climate? Check. Using and polluting huge amounts of ground water while fracking for oil and gas? Also check. Letting mega-corporations like Nestle drain precious local aquifers to sell the water out of state or to parched local residents? Big check. But the biggest culprit is the farming industry. Farms
use 80 per cent of the water consumed in California. Much of this water goes to lucrative crops like almonds, which need tremendous amounts of water to grow. There is going to be a reckoning soon about what crops are sustainable or not in California’s drier future. However, let’s not pretend B.C.’s resource management is superior to California’s. Here, we’re wrestling over the fate of the Agricultural Land Reserve, we import far too much food that we can grow locally, and we face complex challenges due to climate change. We even have Nestle here in BC, who were draining our aquifers without limit or fees until B.C. finally started regulating ground water just last year. We need to do better. More than anything, all these problems emphasize that B.C. should be planning for food self-reliance on a larger regional scale.
Too much of our planning is focused on piecemeal initiatives that will not stand up well to the stresses of a changing world. We’re lucky—perhaps we have more time to avert a water crisis like that which is overtaking California. What we do here to protect our arable land, to regulate our water use, and to balance the needs of business and development with the fundamental need of food security can be a model for communities everywhere —let’s make sure we get it right.

letters City’s firework displays are wonderful, inclusive community events Editor: Re: “Ban Halloween fireworks, resident urges council,” July 18. I have been a resident of Richmond for more than 50 years, almost as long as Mr. Wrigglesworth. I currently reside directly across from McLean Park which is where the City of Richmond hosts one of their annual Halloween fireworks displays. Living in such close proximity to
the park I feel that the impact of these displays is perhaps greater on my household than it is on many residents of Richmond. I strongly urge city council to ignore the complaints of Mr. Wrigglesworth and not scrap Halloween fireworks displays. These shows are wonderful, inclusive community events that are enjoyed and appreciated by
most residents. To those opposed I offer this: keep your pets indoors, buy some earplugs, draw the curtains, and try to think of something more constructive to do. What’s next? Are you going to start a petition to ban Santa Claus from local shopping malls? Honestly! Kathleen Lawrence Richmond
Oval user angered by loss of ice time Editor: Re: What could Richmond achieve with/ without the oval? Letters, July 11 and 18. I found Mr. Tony Cowley’s response to Terrence Murphy’s letter to the editor very interesting, as I too was getting tired of the likes of Mr. Murphy complaining about this fantastic facility. That was until the oval staff informed the best hockey group that I have ever been a part of that we were no longer welcome in the 5 p.m., Friday
ice time that we have been renting for the past four years. In the letter that our hockey group received from oval staff, we were informed that we are too old to use the Oval in prime time (4-8 p.m. on a weekday). Isn’t that age discrimination? The letter also stated that we should be happy to play our hockey game mid-week, starting at 10 p.m. (something that I might have been comfortable with at 20 to 30 years of age, but would not work for me at age 57).
I worked on the oval when it was being built. I think that it is a fantastic facility, and an asset to the City of Richmond. But now, when I drive by the oval, as a Richmond
resident and also a Richmond tax payer, I just get angry, and disappointed at the way our group has been treated. Paul Remillard Richmond

letters Don’t unleash the hounds on South Arm Editor: We the residents and the users of South Arm Park have already made it clear to the board of South Arm Community center and the city that we want no changes to the park. We want the park as is. A few years ago a petition was made and presented to the city to keep the park as is when we were made aware via the local papers that a new vision for South Arm Park was being created. The new vision was comprised of artificial turf for the fields, outdoor exercise equipment, jogging tracks, gathering places for various events and concerts, more basketball court, etc. This would have completely destroyed the serenity and tranquility of the park. We have said no to this. I invite everyone to google “artificial turf/health hazard” and I invite everyone to think about what the park would have looked like. All of the above would have resulted in having no park, a health hazard, and above all an environmentally dangerous site
We formally request that the city put a 20-year moratorium on park changes in South Arm Park. at our doorsteps. All these “brilliant” ideas are apparently coming from the board of the South Arm community Centre. Then this goes to the city, is reviewed by staff and then voted on by council. All of this without any consultation from residents and park users. Now a fenced off-leash dog park in the middle of the park. Of course we need more offleash areas and dog parks. Dogs need to run, play like us but the designated location right in the middle of the park does not work—wrong location. So we say no again!!! Alternate location is the open space at the north side of the park next to 9020 Williams Rd. It is shaded with large trees and has a large open green space.
Dogs would love it and the owners as well. Another alternate location is the big open field on Saunders Road between Osterley Park and Heritage Park. It is a large area and used by many dog owners now. The reasons why we oppose the chosen location are: •Appearance: the beautiful and serene appearance will be destroyed. •The chain link fence will be an eyesore and unsightly to look at. •Impact to the only open space for park users when sports fields are occupied. •Noise. Dogs barking at all hours of the day will be disruptive to local residents and other park users. •Parking. Greatly increases issues to parking on Ryan Road and Mortfield Road and parking lots due to increased non-resident dog owners. With this public letter we formally request that the city put a 20-year moratorium on park changes in South Arm Park. Eve Rollet de Darantes Richmond
Richmond may have an airport economy, but we can’t be complacent Editor: Thanks to Roy Oostergo for his letter (July 23) and sharing on the employment opportunity offered to his family because of the air freight industry. It is true that YVR has become one of the largest generators of economic activity and jobs in Richmond. However, my concern is that as a city and local government, do we have a well developed strategy to take full advantage and make the best use of the assets we have to promote an “airport-based economy”, in order to create jobs and business opportunities for the good of our residents? Indeed, Richmond had not renewed its 2002 Economic Development Strategy until this past March. As I have expressed, complacency is probably our biggest enemy. Certainly the opportunities are already at our doorstep and Richmond will continue to grow even if we do nothing. But is this the approach we should take? Two years ago, when Richmond and Xiamen became sister cities, we learned that Xiamen was seeking to have a direct flight connection to North America and had their eyes on an U.S. destination and partner. I am not convinced that we should not try to persuade them that flying to YVR is a better alternative and just let the opportunity go. Take Zhengzhou as another example. Zhengzhou is becoming the largest air cargo hub in China. When it is fully built in 2025, the airport and its related eco-
nomic zone will be 415 square km in area, which is three times the size of our whole city. Presently they don’t have any flights going to Canada. Should we not encourage them to turn their attention to YVR and Richmond? The airport-based economy is not about bringing more cheap import products or new immigrants; it is about jobs and economic diversification in Richmond. It is also about bringing Canadian products to new markets in Asia. The Chinese government has recently approved the importation of strawberries and blueberries from Canada and it is good news for our farmers in Richmond. However, increasing our air freight capacity to take advantage of this is also crucial. Many people believe that the construction industry has been the major driver of our economy. It has actually employed 3 to 5 per cent of our workforce, whereas 70 per cent of our employment is related to tourism, logistics, and transportation. The further consolidation and growth of our airport based economy will undoubtedly be good for Richmond. It requires the coordinated efforts among the different levels of government, YVR, and the private business sector. At present, there is still much room for this collaboration to improve and this is what I am striving to work on in my capacity as a city councillor. Coun. Chak Au Richmond

Say YES to
Life expectancy in B.C. is now around 81 years for men and 85 for women. At age 65, however, life expectancy for men has become 20 years (so if a man reaches age 65, chances are he will reach age 85), while for women it has become about 22 years (so a woman aged 65 can expect to live to 87). These statistics are important for people who, at age 71, have to decide what to do with their RRSPs. At that point, they need to decide whether to move into an RRIF or something else, such as just cashing it all in (and paying a large tax bill). Whoever your advisor is, when you reach 71, consider buying an Annuity. In last weekend’s edition of the Globe & Mail, Mr. Ian McGugan wrote a sage article about this issue, comparing Annuities with RRIFs. With an RRIF, you convert from an RRSP tax-free. You have minimum annual withdrawals, and whatever you withdraw is taxed as income. As you withdraw over the years, of course, the value of the RRIF drops. At death, the remaining balance falls into your Estate, and is all added to your (taxable) income in the year you die. With an Annuity, again, you convert from an RRSP tax-free. The Annuity will pay you a certain amount annually, based on factors such as the amount put into the Annuity, life expectancy and so on. You will receive a set amount every year, which is taxed as income. There are different types of annuities. Some are guaranteed for a certain number of years, so if you live past that number, you still receive the same annual amount. The longer you live, the more favourable an annuity is over an RRIF. In several instances, the amount collected under an Annuity exceeds that collected under an RRIF. Take a close look at Annuities. It may enhance your financial retirement.

ar sales have been robust in the first six months of 2014. Despite its ignition switch recalls, GM’s US sales of cars and light trucks totaled 1.46 million, up from 1.42 million for the same period in 2013. Ford’s US vehicle deliveries declined by 1.9 percent, but Chrysler had a 12 percent increase in its US sales. US sales of Toyota’s Camry sedan rose 7.2 percent putting it on track for the 13th year as ‘the top-seller.’ And global car buying has matched the US trend with sales up 8% over 2013. Nevertheless, industry experts are making predictions based on these numbers that can hardly be a comfort to the car companies characterizing this not just a temporary peak, but as the ever closer approach worldwide to ‘peak car.’ Peak car is the point at which annual global sales growth will top out marking the start of an irreversible downturn—a revolution in which the new paradigm will be multi-modal ‘mobility’ and not personal car-ownership. The average ‘rich’ country car-owner— neither auto industry expert nor big-picture economist—is unlikely to find this ‘peak car’ forecast surprising. Evidence of this potentiality is everywhere. Seniors remain enthusiastic car owners and drivers— indeed they may be the most car-engaged cohort ever. Surrendering their keys is as much to be avoided for as long as possible as first receiving them was desired as
soon as possible. Hence their interest in vehicles designed with their general physical characteristics in mind: suboptimal vision—but corrected, sub-optimal hearing—but assisted, declining flexibility in neck and shoulder muscles and in joints, and declining physical robustness. As the modern car has become ‘a computer on four wheels,’ seniors’ lack of familiarity and hence comfort with digital instrumentation and computer-like information screens is also problematic. Many seniors have fixed incomes making overall affordability, particularly fuel and insurance costs, also an important issue. A recent (July 18, 2014) Consumer Reports article on the “10 Best Cars for Older Drivers” may be a useful guide, but almost as striking is how little there is to work with in the way of industrial design features with the older or senior driver specifically in mind. Affordability is a big issue, but this cuts across the spectrum of buyers. Many of the vision-assisting features that are highlighted: —back up cameras, blind spot detection, collision monitoring, and lane-departure warning are new standard safety features for all buyers. Today’s cheapest sub-compact is a marvel of safety features and fuel efficiency. What comes across most clearly is the degree to which designs are for people born in the 1980s and 90s, referred to as “Millennials”, who should be the next generation of car owners. However, Millennials aren’t getting drivers licenses, aren’t buying cars and hence aren’t driving much as might be expected. This curious trend, noticeable for the past few years presents an extremely difficult challenge for the car companies. Road Rules will look at the causes and implications of this development in future articles. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

New small planes more flexible, deliver water twice as fast by Jeff Nagel Black Press The provincial government is defending its unpopular decision to halt B.C.’s use of the veteran Martin Mars water bombers in favour of newer aircraft to fight wildfires. The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch responded as campaigners closed in on a target of 20,000 signatures on a petition urging the premier to reinstate the 1940s-era amphibious plane. Organizer Chris Alemany plans to deliver the petition to Christy Clark’s constituency office in West Kelowna, where residents had been under evacuation order from the Smith Creek wildfire. Critics argue the province is spending more money to get less firefighting service than it had with the famous Martin Mars planes. B.C. instead has contracted the use of four Air Tractor “Fire Boss” water-scooping amphibious planes from the Conair Group of Abbotsford for $2.5 million per season. The much smaller aircraft are more flexible
Government of B.C. photo Martin Mars water bombers have been phased out of B.C. forest fire fighting operations in favour of much smaller aircraft.
because they can operate from more than 1,700 lakes compared to just 113 with the Mars. The new planes can also drop water, foam or retardant on a fire, with an ability to deliver 3,025 litres on a seven-minute turnaround, compared to 19,000 litres with the Mars on a 19-minute round trip. The branch said in statement the new Fire Bosses delivered fire suppressant twice as fast during the recent West Kelowna fire— 586,000 litres in 11.3 hours—as the Martin Mars dropped during the 2003 Kelowna fire. “Over the past six weeks, the new Fire Boss aircraft have ac-
tioned more fires than the Martin Mars did in six years.” Today there’s only one Martin Mars left in the province, owned by the Coulson Group on Vancouver Island. According to the province, it offered the firm an “as when needed” contract for the 2014 fire season but got no response. The government statement noted the Mars engines are prone to breakdowns, while if one Fire Boss breaks down the other three can stay in service. Separate planes can also be split up to attack multiple different targets at once, which officials say is particularly useful in fighting
a series of fires after intense lightning. The Mars, meanwhile, has a large drop pattern that the branch said can make it unsafe to use close to ground crews, who must stop work during a drop, risking the escape of a fire that could have been contained during the initial attack phase. The province also uses various other air tankers and helicopters in fighting fires. More than 100 helicopters are currently in use around the province. The province brought in an additional 153 firefighters from Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick Tuesday, joining 350 other outof-province personnel.

There will be plenty of fun on tap Saturday, July 26, at Tugboat Annie’s Pub and Grille, which is hosting a Summer Luau, complete with a pig roast, and a Boat Race on the Fraser River. Eight teams competed for the coveted trophy and bragging rights in the silly boat race last year, where customers, area workers and merchants were challenged to build a two-person vessel—made of recycled material such as styrofoam, pallets and beers cans—capable of crossing from the pub to Don Island, some 500-plus feet away.

the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h. The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable. Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the
911
Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference. Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8. My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares. The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

Don’t allow your child to be a unrestrained projectile 70 percent. Very frightening then to contemplate that around five percent of parents don’t put their children in seats and of those that do, more than half improperly install them. It’s an issue to which I’m particularly attuned after the recent birth of my first grandson. I found myself grappling with a rear facing car seat – as legally required!

Car smashes are the leading cause of accidental death among children in British Columbia. According to government statistics, every year more than 1,300 children under nine are injured or killed. Putting that in scary perspective, that’s the equivalent of around five elementary schools. It’s estimated that the proper use of child car safety seats reduce the risk of injury by a massive 85 percent and death by

The booklet explains that a baby’s head is large and heavy in relation to the rest of its body but its neck is just not strong enough to deal with the forces that would rock it in a frontal collision.

window defroster. It also comes with a fabric inner liner and a hinged metal body-colour tonneau cover that gives a top-down 370Z a classy finished look. This Z has a lighter and more rigid body structure than its predecessor and a more powerful 332-horsepower 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine. There’s a lovely “growl� from its dual exhaust pipes when you prod the gas pedal, and drive goes to the rear wheels via a viscous-type limited slip differential. A noteworthy high-tech engine enhancement is its Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) system, which adds extra power, yet improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner exhaust emissions. Wandering on less travelled roads towards the towering San Gabriel Mountains, which create a picturesque backdrop to Pasadena, was an opportunity to play with the Z’s delightful rev-matching 7-speed automatic transmission. A 6-speed manual transmission can also be fitted (via a sport package) and it comes with a downshift rev-matching feature, a “world first� for Nissan engineering. It’s a snug driver cockpit that offers limited storage (although there is some extra space behind the seats), a single cup-holder centre console and a pullup style park brake. I used
all the rear travel provided on the driver’s seat and had the seat cushion set to its lowest position – a 6ft- plus tall driver is likely to have space issues. Its short windshield and surrounding glass give Z a chopped racy appearance and the moulded design of the tonneau cover enhances its classic “double cockpit� roadster styling. An exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio allows an under-six second 0 to 100 km/hour acceleration time and puts this Z into elite sports car territory. Yet, when you consider its comparatively good fuel economy numbers and sane pricing, it’s still one of the smarter “expensive plaything� purchases. In Canada, the Roadster is offered in a Touring trim with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic transmissions. Touring automatic comes with both Sport and Navigation packages in Canada, but these packages are optional in the US. There’s also a basic (non-Touring) edition of the 370Z Roadster that sells for $41,470, south of the border. Not too long ago, highperformance cars guzzled fuel, belched smog and were a workout to drive. Not so now, sports cars like the Nissan 370Z Roadster are surprisingly fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly. bob.mchugh@ drivewaybc.ca

Three guides to the grill
B
oy meets grill. Boy falls in love with grill. Boy and grill live happily ever after. And everyone eats great barbecued food forever. What a love story! Despite all evidence
to the contrary, it is summer, and you know what that means. So ladies and gentlemen, start your barbecues please. Let me start with the most graphic of the cookbooks: Gastro Grilling by Ted Reader. You’ve probably heard the term “food porn”— well if there was ever a prime example, this is it! In fact, you might need a note from your mother just to borrow this book. Filled with appetizing photos that will make you want to swoon, this barbecue bible contains some of the oddest but most fascinating recipes I’ve ever seen. Take for example the Margarita Chicken Lollipops. Or the Grilled Figs & Foie Gras that requires you to buy “1 lobe foie gras.” Problem is, I don’t think my local Safeway sells foie gras by the lobe. The recipe for Grilled Squid
with Grilled ProsciuttoWrapped Radicchio & Caper Balsamic Sauce has no less than 15 ingredients and two full pages of instructions. There are even dessert recipes, like the Angry Blueberries with Cold Cream that require you to inject spiced whiskey into each blueberry with a medical syringe. Pass. I think the prize goes to Grilled Apricot Cheesecake Quesadilla with Lavender Honey. These are definitely not your grandmother’s recipes, but for adventurous foodies, it’s the motherlode. Fire it Up: 400 Recipes for Grilling Everything by Andrew Schloss and David Joachim is another eclectic cookbook. The only off-putting thing is the close-up photos of each type of food source. Do I really need to see a fluffy little lamb or dull-eyed cow
7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Home Up for Sale Richmond BC - A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money. This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and – worse – financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market. As this report uncovers, most
homesellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800781-0942 and enter 1000. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

looking at me before I learn how to cook lamb chops or burgers? Not so much. But the recipes! One of the most unusual ones is the Lemon-Espresso Spatchcocked Chicken. The instructions on how to perform the “Spatchcock” manoeuver look like something a fourth year medical student would learn on his/her surgery rotation. I have to give this cookbook points for originality though. Exhibit A: Mixed Grill of Lamb Unmentionables. The authors cover everything from A-Z, however the directions and lists of ingredients can be daunting for cooking newbies. Finally there’s The Asian Barbecue Book: From Teriyaki to Tandoori by Alex Skaria. Covering the gamut of recipes from China to Korean, India, Vietnam and more, there are lots of mainstream, traditional dishes here, along with many that will seem exotic to North Americans who think burgers and tube-steak = barbecue. Personally I’m kind of intrigued by the Grilled Potato Salad, the Mint and Coriander Salmon and the Bombay-Style Swordfish Steaks. These are just a few of the more than 100 barbecue cookbooks at the library. Rule of thumb: before you cook, book. Shelley Civkin is communications officer with Richmond Public Library.

Rogers pursuing field of dreams Local teen continually challenging self after leaving B.C. Games with personal best and pair of gold medals by Don Fennell Sports Editor The true measure of a champion is reflected in his or her actions in victory as well as defeat. At only 15, Camryn Rogers clearly grasps the concept. As the silver and bronze medallists were being led off the podium following the girls’ shot put at the B.C. Summer Games last weekend in Nanaimo, Rogers—standing in the middle as the gold medal winner—grabbed the hands of the secondand third-place finishes to ensure they walked off in unison. She wanted to ensure she wasn’t seen as bigger than them. To those who know the likeable Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club athlete, a student at R.A. McMath Secondary, this gesture doesn’t come as a surprise. She’s always cheering them on with as much enthusiasm as she puts into her own pursuits. Rogers, who also won the girls’ hammer event at the Games, willingly makes numerous sacrifices in pursuit of her dream to one day represent Canada at the international level—ultimately at the Olympic Games. She trains six days a week, which
by her own admission can become exhaustive if not monotonous at times. Fortunately, she’s dedicated enough to be able to juggle practice with academics and still find time to hang out with friends. The past couple of weeks have been particularly crazy for the Richmond teen. But equally rewarding, too, starting with a personal-best throw of 56.56 metres in the hammer throw at the provincial track and field championships two weeks ago in Kamloops and culminating in a new record in shot put of 13.10 metres last weekend in Nanaimo. “Both achievements I’m proud of, especially because they were at such big meets,” said Rogers. “Though the hammer didn’t go quite as I thought it would at the Games, I’m still happy I got to learn how to deal with situations like this and learning how to focus and perform under pressure before nationals.” The 2014 Canadian Youth Legion Track and Field Championships are Aug. 15 to 17 in Langley. “I am so ecstatic to be representing B.C.,” said Rogers, whose selection to the team was no surprise other than perhaps herself. “It will be the last track meet of

the year and I’m getting pumped already. I’m already working hard preparing for a whole new adventure and looking forward to seeing athletes from across the country. It is going to be amazing.” But Rogers is still soaking up memories from
and old, acquaintances, and I had a lot of fun at the dances put on after dinner. The feeling of being there, walking into the stadium with all the other people who had travelled from all corners of B.C. was very exhilarating, especially when you see all the parents and audience cheering in the stands.” From the provincial championships, Rogers took away a better understanding of the importance of consistency in her throws. She applied those lessons at the Games, resulting in two more gold medals to go along the pair she won in Kamloops. “With every competition I get nervous, and the pressure of being at provincials made me think and analyze things even more. But I also felt more prepared and coming out of the events I was happy knowing I’d given my best,” she said.

sports Richmond athletes poised to stand tall at Commonwealth Games by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond athletes stand to make their mark at The Friendly Games which began Wednesday in Glasgow, Scotland with the opening ceremonies. Competition at the 2014 Commonwealth Games got underway Thursday, with group mixed team play in badminton. Three athletes who train at Richmond’s ClearOne Badminton Centre are part of the Canadian
team. Vancouver resident Derrick Ng, the 2014 Canadian mixed doubles champion, is competing in men’s doubles with fellow ClearOne member and Prince Rupert resident Adrian Liu. The pair are the current Canadian men’s doubles champions. Toby Ng, also of Vancouver and a ClearOne Badminton Club member who won the mixed doubles title at the 2013 PanAmerican Games, is partnering with Alex Bruce in the mixed doubles event.
Canada faced Falkland Islands in round one of the mixed group stage, winning 5-0. Field hockey was also up on day one, with Canada—featuring Richmond’s own and Hugh McRoberts Secondary graduate Kaelan Watson—facing India its opening match. India won the preliminary match 4-2. A defender, Watson was a member of Canada’s 2014 indoor Pan-American Cup-winning team earlier this year.
Table tennis was also on tap on opening day, with Canada’s women’s team defeating Jamaica 3-0 but losing 3-2 to Malaysia and the men’s team blanking Tanzania 3-0 before taking on host Scotland (after press deadline). The Canadian women’s team features Mo Zhang, 33rd in women’s singles play at the London Olympic Games in 2012 and the men’s team Andre Ho, who won the singles title at the 2013 North America Cup after also
competing at the London Olympic Games in 2012. Swimming is set to start today (Friday) with Richmond athlete Luke Reilly in the 400-metre individual medley heats. He also plans to compete in the 200 metre event, scheduled to commence next Monday (July 28). Reilly, who is coached by fellow Richmondite and former Olympian Brian Johns along with Steve Price, set a Canadian junior record in finishing fourth at last year’s world junior championships.
Canada’s hopes in rugby sevens begin Saturday with an preliminary-round match versus New Zealand. Now 26, Richmond’s Nathan Hirayama, who made his national team debut at age 18, will be one of the keys for Canada as its starting fly half. Athletics competition kicks off Sunday, but Richmond’s lone athlete will be limited to practice until the women’s 200-metre heats commence July 30. That’s when Shai-Anne Davis, a
former Richmond Kajak, will begin what she hopes will be a successful medal run. Davis, who has been training the past few years in Toronto with Desai Williams (coaching at the Games) and Anthony McCleary, is coming off a first-place finish in the four-by-100-metre relay at the world relays earlier this year and was third at the NTC/Pure Athletics Spring Invitational in 23.26 seconds. The 20th Commonwealth Games continue through Aug. 3.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
A few more tips for making your home more energy efficient
Photo submitted by FortisBC
FortisBC’s Joan Churchill is behind the popular Renos with Joan series, and now the Shopping with Joan series. She offers homeowners tips for conserving energy, including installing a low-flow showerhead in your bathroom.
Save money with natural gas water heating By Kerry Vital
A warm shower or a relaxing hot bath is one of life’s simple little pleasures. Most of us don’t think about what it takes to heat that water until a rush of cold hits you. But it should be one of the top things on your list when looking to purchase or renovate a home. According to Natural Resources Canada, heating water takes up more than 25 per cent
of your home’s total energy use. So installing the most efficient water heater possible is well worth the initial outlay. “Look beyond the granite and the stainlesssteel appliances,” advises Joan Churchill at FortisBC. Churchill is the woman behind the popular Renos with Joan series, and now the Shopping with Joan series that appears in The Conserver, a free enewsletter filled with easy energy-saving tips that you can sign up for at
fortisbc.com/conserver. In 2010, Churchill purchased a pre-war bungalow and started renovating it into her energy-efficient dream home. Four years later the major renovation is complete. It began by upgrading the inefficient furnace to a high-efficiency, natural gas ENERGY STAR® model. “I wanted a natural gas water heater because heating with natural gas is more affordable,” Churchill says. Plus, FortisBC offers a rebate of up to $1,000 when installing an ENERGY STAR® water heater. Learn more at fortisbc.com/ waterheater. She chose a non-condensing tankless
It’s easy to save on water heating. Wash your clothes in cold water (except for your dirtiest whites), and take shorter showers. Try running your dishwasher only when it’s full, and make sure you fix your leaky pipes. It’s surprising how much water you waste when you leave a faucet dripping. Another way to save energy is to install a programmable thermostat, which will help you save up to 15 per cent on your home heating bills. Or, just wear more layers! Adding a sweater to your outfit will keep you cozy and save you money. Ensuring your home is well-insulated is one of the smartest things you can do. Not only will it keep you cooler in the summer by keeping hot air out, it will also keep your warm air from escaping when the temperatures drop. When it’s chilly outside, keep your doors and windows shut to prevent the heat from escaping your house, and caulk the interior side of your windows where the sash meets the frame to keep those cold winds out. You can also add weatherstripping to your exterior doors and the windows that open. Ensuring you change the filter on your furnace every three to six months will protect your furnace, as well as prevent the fan motor from overheating. This will keep a bit more money in your wallet! It is incredibly important to hire a professionally trained and licensed contractor when you are looking to install natural gas, whether it’s for a renovation or a new home. FortisBC has developed the Contractor Program to provide homeowners with easy access to licensed contractors. These contractors are well-informed about energy efficiency incentives and innovative technologies. They will provide you a written quote with an outline of costs and work involved. FortisBC recommends getting at least three quotes, and asking each of them if they are familiar with available rebates for including natural gas in your home. For more information about the program, visit fortisbc.com/findacontractor.

model, which she notes will last about 20 years and fits her lifestyle. “If you’re not sure what water heater is right for you, consider how many people live in your home, how many bathrooms there are and how long you plan to stay in the home,” she advises. “I love my natural gas water heater,” Churchill says. “I never run out of hot water; I can fill my soaker tub and run the dishwasher at the same time.” Churchill also included natural gas in her kitchen renovation via a natural gas range. “I’ve never had one before, and I love it!” she says. “I heard natural gas gives you infinite control for cooking, and it’s true! Plus, a cooktop or range will also work in a power outage.” In her Shopping with Joan series, she sifts through the abundance of information that’s out there – so you don’t have to – and provides easy shopping and energy-saving tips that make sense. So far she’s discussed low-flow sink faucets and saving water with low-flow showerheads. “I want to give people the information they may need in one place,” she explains. “Little things like switching to a low-flow showerhead can add up to savings on your energy bills.” If your home doesn’t have natural gas, start by calling FortisBC and inquiring as to the location of the nearest gas main. Depending on where you live, there may be a natural gas main already in the street in front of your house. You can then request an estimate on how much it will cost to install a service line to your home. For more information about the benefits of natural gas in the home, visit fortisbc.com/choosegas.

Climbing wall reaching new heights of popularity at Richmond Olympic Oval by Don Fennell Sports Editor Yes, Virginia, there really is a mountain in Richmond. And it’s ready for you to scale. The 13.4-metre (44 feet) climbing wall located indoors at the Richmond Olympic Oval features over 45 world-class routes to challenge all levels—from beginners to experts. And it’s popularity is growing by the day. “It really has been active,” says Aran Kay, program manager, marketing and communications, at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The climbing wall has three main sections—a 7.6 metre (25 feet) beginner’s wall, an 11.5 metre (38 feet) intermediate wall and a 12.1 metre (40-feet) overhanging corner section. It features a mix of vertical, bulge, overhanging and simulated rock surfaces, and can accommodate up to 31 different routes, suited to different skill levels, and can be set up for top rope, lead

climbing and some bouldering, according to the oval’s website. A bridge extending from the fitness mezzanine allows for physically disabled persons to rappel from the wall. Kay says the climbing wall is very popular even with the younger age groups, with lessons for children starting as young as five. It’s also a favourite activity for birthday parties and other special events. The climbing wall has averaged 560 program registrations (learn-to-climb climbing movement clinics and sport and competition climbing programs) per year since opening in May 2012. Kay estimates there will be more than 10,000 “visits” by the end of 2014. A spring climbing competition, sanctioned by Sport Climbing B.C., was held at the oval last March and discussions are ongoing about the event returning in 2015, though Kay says nothing has yet been confirmed.

The climbing wall at the Richmond Olympic Oval opened in May 2012 and has steadily increased in popularity ever since. Estimates are there will be over 10,000 “visits” this year alone. •The climbing wall is open to the public Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. As the climbing wall is located within the track zone, certain events demand that the wall be closed for safety reasons.
DAWSON, Janet Catherine June 14, 1930 - July 14, 2014 With heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Jan Dawson on July 14, 2014. Predeceased by her son Grant in 2007. She is survived by daughters Valerie Friedt (David), Marlene Woschee, Joanne Dawson and their father Rennie. She leaves behind grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many special friends. A special acknowledgement for the exceptional care that was provided by Dr. Sherri Caswell and the nursing staff of 2 South Tower, Second Floor, of Richmond General Hospital. A celebration of Jan’s life will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2014 at the family home, 6080 Drewry Crescent, Richmond at 3:00 pm. Bring your memories and your music.

Jordan Lee photo Richmond’s Jordan Lee directed and filmed the documentary Secret Suppers of Vancouver, about the underground foodie world, which aired on CBC television last Saturday. The project began last summer, and he started filming chefs sharing their handiwork often in their own homes in the fall, with post-production work starting in April.

hat began as a fiveminute creative short about his friend’s culinary skills last year turned into a year-long documentary project for Richmond’s Jordan Lee, the fruits of which aired last Saturday night on CBC television.
Secret Suppers of Vancouver (tinyurl. com/JordanLeeSSV) revealed the Lower Mainland’s underground restaurant scene, offering a peek into the lives of four chefs who struggle to find their own niche, some of whom turn to using their own homes and kitchens to host modest gatherings of diners eager to challenge their palettes. Facing the prohibitive cost of opening their own restaurant, these chefs have instead turned to hosting small parties while flexing their culinary muscles. Much more at home, here they’re free of the restraints of producing huge quantities of food for hundreds of customers, and the oversight of restaurant owners and managers. Lee caught the film-making bug as a youngster playing with his dad’s old video camera, making movies with his friends. See Page 3
