‘It’s the poor that they’re exploiting’ Advocacy group calls for restrictions on payday lenders Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Almost a year after ACORN appeared before Burnaby council to call for a limit on payday lenders in the city, the advocacy group is asking what’s taking so long to review their concerns. “It’s taken quite a long time,” said Monica McGovern, chair of the Burnaby chapter of ACORN. “First they told us, ‘Well, we can’t do anything until after the election.’ Now the election’s over. “We’ve contacted the planning committee and they said they’ll let us know when they present it back to council. When it goes back to council, we urge them to look at it and introduce a bylaw to limit the proliferation of these payday lenders.” On Tuesday, ACORN members rallied outside of a newly opened Cash Money store on Kingsway, just two blocks from a Money Mart. The group’s delegation from last February requested the city impose a limit not only on the number of payday lenders in the city, but Acorn Page 8

Speaking out: Monica McGovern, chair of ACORN’s Burnaby chapter, led a rally outside a Cash Money store on Tuesday, calling for a cap on the number of payday lenders in the city. Last year, ACORN appeared before council to request a limit, but a review of their delegation is still ongoing.

Firefighters, city take agreement to mediation Cayley Dobie staff reporter

As fire departments across the region sign their new collective agreements, Burnaby firefighters are getting ready for mediation. Members of Local 323 of the International Association of Firefighters have been without a collective agreement since 2011, when

experience

the previous two-year agreement expired. “We’re over three years without a collective agreement,” said Rob Lamoureux, president of Local 323, which represents 281 firefighters. “We just want kind of what the going rate is, like what all the other firefighters are getting around the Lower Mainland.” In the past year, several departments have signed new collective agreements,

DUBAI and the EMIRATES

including Vancouver, Delta and New Westminster. Delta was the first department to sign a new deal, opting for an eightyear agreement, according to Lamoureux. New Westminster’s new collective agreement is for seven years, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012, and will expire in 2019. While a long-term deal would be nice a change for the department, Lamoureux said it is by no means a sticking point for

the union. Typically, the department and the city sign two- or three-year agreements. “It’s very rare for us to get one (year), and it’s been very rare for us to get anything more than three,” he said. Deputy city manager Lambert Chu, who is the city liaison for the Burnaby Fire Department, couldn’t comment on why

Burnaby doc vies for top national job A longtime Burnaby family physician is vying to become the first B.C. president of the Canadian Medical Association in seven years. Dr. Shelley Ross, who practiced in Burnaby for 36 years before closing her office in 2012 to become president of Doctors of B.C. (formerly the B.C. Medical Association), is one of three doctors in the province running for the nomination to become CMA’s

president-elect. She is taking on two other former Doctors of B.C. presidents: Port McNeill general practitioner Dr. Granger Avery (1997/98) and Vancouver pediatrician Dr. Nasir Jetha (2011/12). BesidesservingasDoctorsofB.C. president from 2012 to 2013, Ross has also served as president of the Federation of Medical Women of Canada and the Medical Women’s International Association. She is

currently active on the General Practice Services and Shared Care committees – collaborative committees with Doctors of B.C., the ministry of health and the provincial health authorities. Ross also continues to fill in at local doctors’ clinics and at the maternity clinic. CMA presidents are elected from a different province every year. B.C.’s last CMA president in

2007/08 was controversial orthopedic surgeon Brian Day, who operates the private, for-profit Cambie Surgery Centre in Vancouver. If elected, Ross would serve as president-elect from August 2015 to August 2016 and as president from August 2016 to August 2017. Electronic voting for all members of Doctors of B.C. (doctors, residents and medical students) is underway until Feb. 23. – Cornelia Naylor

membership, speaking out on behalf of not only doctors but patients to improve the healthcare system was something that I was very passionate about. And I thought that I was able to do it well with the media and get the message across, so I thought that I could help not only the physicians but the whole population by seeing what we could do to improve things.

SR: I’d say the engagement of the membership. Members had kind of lost contact with the people on the board of the Doctors of B.C., and I reinstated the president’s tour. I went around to every corner of the province and made the Doctors of B.C. relevant to physicians again. It had been about 20 years since anybody had been around. It was so successful that the subsequent two presidents have done it as well. We decided that it was so worthwhile to get out and not so much tell the members what’s going on but to listen to what they have to say.

CN: How do the national and provincial roles compare? SR: Health is under provincial authority, so it’s working with the provincial government on the day-to-day things, but the national body has to have a voice for physicians across Canada. When the media wants to know what doctors in Canada think, they want to know what the national body is saying. Its big role is advocacy and policy development, for example, health-care transformation. We all know the health system just isn’t quite Ross Page 10

Knitting a new sense of community Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A popular knitting group at the Tommy Douglas library is spreading to other Burnaby branches while building crosscultural connections. Librarian Anne Walsh started Knit2gether at the Tommy Douglas branch, and the sessions have been drawing people from all age groups and ethnicities. “It’s so much fun. The atmosphere is just amazing,” said Walsh. “Everybody is interested in other people, they are teaching other people. If you don’t know how to do a certain thing, someone will sit next to you and show you.” Knit2gether started as a once-a-month affair on Saturdays at the Tommy Douglas library branch, but due to popular demand, there are now knitting sessions on Thursday nights as well. The Bob Prittie Metrotown library has also started its own monthly Knit2gether night, and Walsh has plans to start another group at the McGill library branch in February. Knit2gether attracts people of all backgrounds, according to Walsh. Attendees may include refugees or women with few English language skills, but everyone helps

Tea is served, and people are encouraged to bring cookies to share. Knit2gether is free, and there’s no registration required. Donations of yarn are always welcome. twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

Are park washrooms in need of a city cleanup? Jacob Zinn staff reporter

The washrooms in Central Park are broken and filthy, and one Burnaby resident is wondering when the city is going to fix them. “I was up there just before New Year’s, I believe, and the washroom by the swimming pool was out of order then,” said Ralph McGreevy, who lives near the park. McGreevy said he recently visited all four of Central Park’s washrooms only to find them in various states of disrepair – if they were open at all. The washroom near the south pond was locked, and the one near the tennis courts was in the worst condition, with one stall dirty from explosive discharge and a puddle of water seeping from the toilet. The only acceptable one was on the north side of the park, though it wasn’t without its own issues. “It’s the only one that’s heated because the homeless people use it,” he said. “There was a young fellow sleeping on the floor when I was in there the other day.”

McGreevy said he called the city’s parks department, but received a fairly stock response about the out of order washrooms, saying they were likely closed due to damage from vandals and it was taking time for the necessary repair parts to come in. McGreevy acknowledged that waiting for parts is a reasonable cause for delay, but said there should be an alternative solution while they wait for the repairs. “If you’ve been through the park at any one time, there are likely to be 100 people there,” he said. “If they can’t keep the toilets open, they should at least put in some porta-potties. “Otherwise, people would just go in the bushes.” The NOW reached out to the city’s parks department, but did not hear back by press time. McGreevy said he expects the washrooms will be fixed soon, but he still doesn’t understand the holdup. “I don’t like to complain about things, but this is pretty straightforward, and if it’s not taken care of, it will hurt the park’s reputation.”

justification for it.” Residents have taken cities to court before, and almost always the courts favour local governments – providing public hearings are held and discussion is not limited. But this judgment appears to go a huge step beyond those requirements, saying that there is a responsibility on the city’s part to make the process not just open, but also to ensure that the information provided is understandable and clear. It’s not enough to provide reams

of studies or technical information, cities must help residents understand the proposal and what it entails. Cities are under a lot of pressure to gain amenities from developers nowadays. Whether it’s green space or affordable housing, the bargaining for extras in exchange for approvals and design changes has become just part of doing business in cities. Trying to balance that with residents’ concerns is often tricky. It just got a lot more tricky with this judge’s ruling.

Don’t take away our camping IN MY OPINION

Christina Myers

y the time I was 12, my family and I could set up a campsite with as much efficiency as a military unit. This involved a slightly competitive effort in which my brothers would race to set up their tent while my sister and I did ours. Once the tents were up, and my parents had laboriously hand-wound the lid off the tent trailer, the work would begin to set up the necessities: cooking area, clothes line tied between two trees, lantern ready for nightfall and, of course, the fire. At this point, my siblings and I would trek off to the wood pile, banana boxes in hand. It took two of us to carry back a single box, stacked high with wood. It was “free” wood, in that it was made available to campers who were paying the campsite fee. Most campgrounds in B.C. still have those old wood corrals, though they now stand empty or have been repurposed to hold recycling bins. Every time I drive by one, I can feel that banana box in my hand, my siblings and I giddy

with the joy of being outside, tents ready for sleeping. Last summer, I spent more than $30 on several bundles of wood over a two-night camping excursion. And by bundles, I mean “a few decently sized chunks, mixed with some kindling, hopefully not too wet” that got us through a round or two of roasting marshmallows and provided a bit of light after dark till we gave up and simply lit a lantern. That was on top of the campsite fee. Oh, and the reservation fee – which sounds like something that would be a single fee but is, in fact, a fee applied to each night of reservation. If you want to book Campsite A at Provincial Park B, you will pay the campsite fee (let’s say $15 a night, which is actually on the very modest end), plus $6 per night for the reservation fee (up to a maximum of $18). And did I mention that if you have the stupidity to require two cars (as we often do when camping with friends or extended family on a shared campsite) you’ll pay extra for “parking” that second vehicle. On your campsite, not in a secondary lot. As a B.C. resident for the bulk of my life, and a reporter who got her start in the early days of the post-2001 Liberal landslide, you’d think I’d be unflappable now when it comes to decisions out of Victoria.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Glass shards and kids don’t mix Dear Editor:

I am writing to voice a great concern with regard to road accidents. I have noticed that whenever a road accident occurs, the crew sent to clear the debris, glass, etc. efficiently gets rid of the said materials in very quick time. That said, I am very bewildered over the way one aspect of this is done. While debris, glass, etc. that is in the middle of the road is swept up and placed into dustbins on the cleaning truck, the same cannot be said of the glass pieces found near a curb. Instead, I have on several occasions found these placed on the grass next to the sidewalk. This, in my opinion, is a very dangerous act, as, upon walking my dog, I noticed them and hope that my dog did not step on them and get any lodged in her paws. It would be prudent for the city crews to

just go one step further and deposit the said glass shards into the same dustbins they carry on their trucks. If they can do that for glass in the middle of the road, why not the glass near the curb or sidewalk? I find this very shoddy cleaning. If they didn’t want to throw away broken glass near the kerb, I would rather they left it on the road so that it could be seen more clearly by pedestrians, who can better avoid it. I am rather incensed by this after walking my dog last week and found yet again glass fragments on the southeast corner of Nelson and Dover (this is a rather hot spot for accidents). Plus, not to mention, this is one of the entrances to a primary school, and this past summer, I stepped on glass shards in flipflops – I dread to imagine what would have happened if a child accidentally fell on those shards!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We must end the slaughter

Dear Editor:

The recent terrorism and related actions in Paris, France provided enough material to keep talking heads busy for months to come. The carnage can not possibly have escaped anyone, even in sleepy Burnaby. Of interest, also, should be the number of opinions of those who simply felt the cartoonists had it coming and then also shrugged off the lives lost in the kosher store. French president François Hollande stated that the terrorists could not be connected to Islam. The solidarity march, including over 40 heads of state, or their representatives, was the largest ever and involved police protection of 10,000 strong. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not invited until he, himself, had announced he was coming. U.S. President Barack Obama was busy, mostly watching football and, to top it all, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder stayed away, even though he was in Paris already on another mission. I certainly hope the Muslim employee in the kosher store will be remembered for having saved a number of Jewish customers inside a basement freezer! (On second thought, it might be safer for him to accept a job offer in Israel.) Unlike after the 9-11 attack, we also saw a letter of condemnation from a group of outspoken Muslims, including Tarak Fatah, Zuhbi Jasser and Salem Monsur,

who have been busy for years trying to organize an Islamic reform. Regardless of their efforts, Islamists continue their mission to slaughter those who disagree with their particular brand of belief. During the Paris week, hundreds lost their lives to Boko Haram and Mrs. Obama’s mission, “Bring our girls home,” has long joined her husband’s lines in the sand. Gone and forgotten … To most it has become clear, that the deadly Muslim attacks, 19,209 since 9-11, will only cease when the moderates get involved, mainly because others (we) have crowded their comfort zone. So far they have gotten away with talking “jihad” amongst themselves and “peace” in mixed company. Our media could help by reporting facts instead of trying to advance left-leaning opinions. It is incredible that nobody reported on Gaza tunnels or the death of 160 Arab children during construction accidents, until more children died because they had been used as human shields. … But then it was all the fault of Israelis. Once again, Canada should be proud of our prime minister. Mr. Harper was one of the very few politicians to display leadership and insight. While in Delta he responded with typical clarity which should make the history books. A shortened version would be: “Islam has declared war on us, and we can not expect to win by appeasing them.”

Camping: Save it for our children continued from page 6

But my mouth dropped at this week’s news of campsite fee increases. Actually, if I’m being honest, my stomach knotted up: it’s a kick to the gut to discover that one more thing that you want desperately to give your kids may be slipping through your fingers. I get it: the halcyon days of affordability are gone. Trust me, I live that reality every single day. I live in the Metro Vancouver area (albeit in a wildly more affordable area than Vancouver itself would be). We are a (mostly) oneincome family. Inflation is nipping at our heels. And I realize the costs that affect me on an individual level affect the government coffers on a provincial level – it costs more to heat school buildings than it did 20 years ago, it costs more to pave roads, it costs more to do everything. I get it, I really do. But I could barely afford the camping trips we did last year. I spent more than $100 in reservation and fees and extra-car charges before I’d even packed a single bag. Before I put gas

in the car, bought hot dogs and marshmallows, purchased necessary gear for my kids, bought wood. When I was young, I saw most of B.C., and every province between here and the Atlantic. I camped through Arizona, California, South Dakota, Utah. I camped on P.E.I. and in Nova Scotia. I felt the wind blow through giant redwoods, and over deserts, and walked through forests dripping with moss. I stood in waterfalls still frigid from the glacier masses they’d melted from, wandered historic forts, stared in awe at Mount Rushmore, and touched dinosaur bones in Alberta. I walked over sand dunes to watch the roar of waves crash down on the Oregon Coast, knowing that the water that came tickling at my toes had once kissed the coast of Asia or of Australia. Camping made this possible. Affordable camping made this possible. My kids will be lucky if we get to Squamish or Golden Ears this year. According to the press release, the increases will generate $1.3 million in additional revenues, all of

which will be reinvested in the park system. I suppose I should give kudos to the government for finding a way to continue to support the parks system from within the system itself. It costs money to make wild spaces available to the public, to preserve what we have, and to make sure it still exists for future generations. But surely there’s a better way than nickel-anddiming families that are already on the knife edge. I have no doubt the parks will stay busy and those long weekends will see every campsite full. Most people will absorb the new fee. Others will simply begin to opt out. And a generation of kids that need to stand in waterfalls from glaciers and go to historic forts and smell pine trees and have their toes kissed by water from the other side of the planet will instead stay home. In a world increasingly concerned about our disconnection from the very planet on which we exist, I’d say that qualifies as a tragedy.

ACORN: Group wants city to put limits on payday lending shops continued from page 1

enforce a minimum distance between them. “People are just going from one to the other,” said McGovern. “You just walk across the street.” McGovern added that payday lenders take advantage of low-income residents, charging exorbitant fees and interest that puts them further into debt. “They’re all down here because it’s the poor that they’re exploiting, and it’s the poor that’s going to use it,” she said. “Put them in the wealthy areas – put them up in Willingdon, there are very few up there.” Coun. Dan Johnston estimated the report could appear before council in the

summer, though he said it may not be a priority to planning staff. “It’s probably more important to the community and to the members of council, but the planners don’t see it quite as important as some of the other projects they’re working on,” he said. However, Johnston acknowledged that the city should have affordable alternatives to payday lenders and said that council is taking the issue seriously. “I think, fundamentally, they share ACORN’s concerns. Saying that, we’re limited on what we can do – we can basically bring in zoning that prevents new ones from opening.” twitter.com/JacobZinn

Firefighters: Union wants a deal comparable to those of other cities continued from page 1

the city and fire department haven’t been able to reach a deal yet. He did, however, confirm the two parties would begin mediation on Feb. 5. Concerning rumours the city made a verbal agreement prior to the November 2014 election, Chu said such an agreement would never be considered formal. “Any agreement that we have with a union has to be in written form. It’s not our practice to have verbal agreements,” Chu said. “If it was a verbal agreement, it would not have been from my office.” No matter when a deal is reached, the

city will likely be on the hook for retroactive pay if wage increases are included in the new deal to cover the three-plus years firefighters have been without a contract. Lamoureux wouldn’t comment on what, if any, wage increases firefighters were negotiating for, instead reiterating that his members want a comparable deal to what other departments in the Lower Mainland have received. “We have mediation coming up and hopefully, with a third party, we can get some help,” Lamoureux said.

Ross: It’s challenging to provide the best care to patients continued from page 3

working the way we’d like it to work these days, and so what they can do is they can gather all the provincial and territorial medical associations together and help direct some change as to how should we improve things. We want such things as access and timely care, and the appropriate care so that we’re not wasting money and resources, repeating things that have already been done and having people wait so long that they need everything repeated before they can get on with what needed to be done several months ago. In other words, it’s kind of a national perspective of bringing everybody together, a strong united voice. CN: Why do you think the Doctors of B.C. lost touch with physicians? SR: I think when things are going reasonably well, there’s not a lot of interest in the association, but when things weren’t going well, when people couldn’t get care for their patients and that, I think that they’re much more interested in having their opinions heard and hearing what the board can organize to make things better. I think that when things were going well, there wasn’t such a need to connect with the membership, but when things are not going well, we need to engage doctors, we need to get them involved. CN: What’s the most

important thing you would bring to the president’s position? SR: Advocacy for physicians and patients and a clear physician voice. I think I would be able to take ideas and concepts and be able to present them on behalf of others in a clear manner. I think I have that ability to understand concepts and – there’s always room for improvement – but I have the ability to talk with the media and talk with government officials and be able to collaborate and make change and help direct change while working with others. I’m very approachable, but I can certainly dig in my high heels when I need to. CN: Do you think that comes from being a family physician as opposed to being a specialist? SR: I don’t know if you would categorize it that way. Certainly as a family physician, it’s the best job in the world. You have that longitudinal care where you get to know generations of the family, and they count on you to help them make some health-care decisions and what’s best for them. You’re really a part of a family and they trust you. What you see over a lifetime of practice is absolutely amazing, and you realize that all are not created equal and that we have to speak out for those that don’t have a voice. CN: Does a B.C. president bring anything unique to the national role?

deserve. I’ll give you an example. When I started at Burnaby Hospital, which was back about 1976, it was a 500-bed hospital. It’s now about 200 to 250 beds, and we’ve got a much older population, and as you get older you’ve got many more health concerns. How could we not be congested? How could we not be backed up? How could there not be enough beds for everybody? We need to take what resources we have and work with everybody and say, “Let’s streamline things. Let’s make things

the others.

SR: Well, B.C. has always been known for being strong advocates for health care and having lots of ideas and not being afraid to tell the rest of the country how they should be doing things. Certainly we’re known to have a strong voice but to be very collaborative, and people quite look up to the Doctors of B.C. as very progressive. Whenever we go to general council, which is like the parliament of the CMA, Doctors of B.C. can be seen to bring the most motions, have lots of good discussion, bring good ideas, and they’re often the envy of

CN: What do you think is the most pressing challenge facing Canadian doctors today? SR: There’s no doubt about that; it’s being able to provide the best care to patients that they deserve. CN: Hasn’t that always been the biggest challenge? SR: It’s more of a challenge now because the system has ground to a halt, and you can’t move along in a timely manner. Certainly the biggest issue facing doctors right now is how do we actually give patients the care they

work better.” CN: What would you like to accomplish as CMA president? SR: I’d like to make sure that doctors are involved, that they have the energy to say, ‘We’re going to roll up our sleeves, we’re going to work with other people, and we’re going to make the system work again.’ CN: Is there anything else you’d like to add? SR: Physicians, residents and medical students are all allowed to vote. Get out and make your voice heard.

Conductor joins Orchid Ensemble for concert

A Burnaby composer’s work is featured in an upcoming concert by the award-winning Orchid Ensemble. The Juno-nominated group is performing on Sunday, Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. in Vancouver’s Pyatt Hall. The Orchid Ensemble is renowned for transforming its Chinese roots and breaking down boundaries between musical genres. The ensemble is known for taking ingredients from Chinese, Indian, Jewish and Central Asian music, reconstructing them within a contemporary framework and adding improvisation. It includes artistic director Lan Tung, who plays the erhu (or Chinese violin) and provides vocals. Jonathan Bernard plays marimba and percussion, while Yu-Chen Wang plays the zheng, or Chinese zither. Jin Zhang For their Pyatt Hall composer-conductor concert, they will be joined by Burnaby’s Jin Zhang, who will conduct the Hua Yi Choir with the ensemble in a performance of his piece, Fire – which describes the great fire that destroyed Nanaimo’s Chinatown in 1960. The ensemble will also perform Zhang’s No Rush, which “explores contrasts such as tenderness and strength, and forcefulness and tranquility,” according to a press release. Also on the program are Dorothy Chang’s From a Dream, depicting the fastmoving clouds over the peaks of China’s famous Yellow Mountain, and Farshid Samandari’s Ghosts of the Living, which describes characters who breathe, act and

What was Burnaby like during the postwar industrial period? Longtime Burnaby resident Terry Rea knows, and he will be sharing his memories of working at a local steel mill at an event hosted by the Burnaby Historical Society. “You’re going to be quite surprised to find we actually did have a steel mill in Burnaby,” Rea said. “I may be the last surviving person who used to work there.” Rea, 77, got a job at the mill as a teen with the help of his father, who worked there as an electrician. Rea stayed for 35 years before he moved onto his next job at Trev Deeley Motorcycles.

EDGEWATERCASINO.CA

staff reporter

Vancouver Steel used to be at the south end of Alpha Avenue, in Burnaby’s Still Creek area, a heavy industrial area. “In those days, it was a hand mill. Everything was done by hand expect the pouring of the steel. … Nowadays, most of this stuff is automated,” Dea said. “In those days, just after the war, we weren’t a throwaway society the way we are today. We reclaimed scrap metal and made reusable product again.” The mill eventually moved to Mitchell Island in Richmond, and then shut down in 1988. The Burnaby Historical Society event is on Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the Carousel Room at Burnaby Village Museum, at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. Admission is free.

Your journey starts here.

Room to sprawl out and a trunk big enough to haul hockey bags BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

The station wagon isn’t dead, it’s just disguised. If you think every single vehicle on the road is a crossover or SUV of some kind, then nil desperandum: there are still some wagons out there. Say hello to the Toyota Venza, effectively a station wagon version of the Camry. It has the same engine choices, apart from a hybrid, and while this one has available all-wheel-drive, you can get a front-driver too. While the Venza looks bigger, thanks to a jacked-up ride height, it occupies roughly the same footprint as the Camry. What’s more, just as station wagons were in the past, it’s positioned as a family-friendly vehicle that’s just that little bit more practical than your average four-door sedan. Now in its seventh year, and two years since the last facelift, the Venza’s disguise might be wearing a little thin. Let’s get it out on the road and ﬁnd out what’s beneath the mask.

Design:

Designed to slot in-between the RAV4 and the Highlander, the Venza appears, at ﬁrst glance, to be slightly more upscale than either. The RAV4 is built with small crossover practicality in mind, and the Highlander screwed together to take on the soccer team, but the Venza’s just that little bit swooshier. It looks a little like a Sienna caught in Willy Wonka’s taffy puller, and that’s intended as a compliment. Lower and wider than other crossovers on the road, the Venza hunkers down low over its 20” alloy wheels and – wait, hang on, twenty-inch wheels? On a Toyota?

Yes indeedy-do. Part of the snazzy curb-image this thing has is a pair of boots ﬁt enough to qualify for a walk-on part in a mid2000s rap video. Even the base model gets 19” rims, something required by the sheetmetal-heavy styling. For those of us who aren’t part of Nate Dogg’s posse, this is a bit of overkill, and ruins the ride on bumpy pavement. Note that you can tuck much smaller 17” or even 16” wheels on for winter duty.

Environment:

If the exterior of the Venza has aged well, the same can’t be said for the interior. Those attributes that worked before are still here: a spacious, roomy feel, brightened up by a huge panoramic sunroof. However, climb into a newer offering, like the arch-rival Subaru Outback, and this Limited trim tester starts looking a little long in the tooth. Fit and ﬁnish are still very good, and there’s a sense that the interior will take as much of a kicking as a Rubbermaid product, but it is much more plasticky than recently refreshed competitors. Still, as-mentioned, the essentials are all here. There’s a clever holder for your smart-phone that includes a pass-through for the USB charging-cord, a truly enormous sliding centre console, and the controls are all quite sensible. The centre-mounted screen is a tad on the small side, at 6.1”, but functionality is straightforward, and hooking up streaming audio and operating the navigation was very easy. Where the Venza excels, as do regular wagons, is in carrying adult-sized passengers. For a growing family with teens outgrowing a RAV’s back seats, the Venza has rear room to sprawl out and a trunk big enough to haul hockey bags: 870L with the seats up and nearly 2000 with them folded ﬂat.

Performance:

While a 2.7L four-cylinder is available on base-trim Venza’s, please be aware that this is only a choice for the quite-miserly. Producing 182hp, it’s pitted against 2245kg (plus options), which is quite a bit to shift. The V6, Toyota’s ubiquitous 3.5L unit, produces a much-

better 268hp. The six is a bit of a gem, really, and somewhat overlooked in the business. Lotus stuffs it in their Evora, and while an AWD crossover doesn’t have the lightness of a sportscar, the V6 Venza does at least have passing power to spare. Making a few passes along the Sea-to-Sky highway reveals something of a duality to the Venza’s driving character. While the driving position is comfortable and slightly high up, the centreof-gravity feels low. It’s a stable, planted machine through the corners. However, the steering is somewhat overboosted and lacks feel. Toyota improved this with their redesigned Highlander, but the Venza does feel more like an older Toyota – which it is, so fair enough. Grip from the all-wheel-drive could also beneﬁt from Toyota’s recent work. Here, planting the accelerator from a stop causes the front wheels to break grip, and then the rear to react. Toyota’s tightened this up elsewhere, but the Venza still has slip-and-grip. For all that, it’s a comfortable cruiser that rarely puts a foot wrong. As with all crossover/wagons, the rear visibility could be better, but blind spots are managed well the oldschool way, with concave insets in the side mirrors.

Features:

Loaded to the gills, my Limited-trim AWD Venza cracked the 40K mark: $41,740 after freight and before taxes and levies. That’s quite a bit, considering Toyota’s pricing on the Highlander. You do get a lot though: a 13-speaker JBL audio system, LED running lights, push-button start and keyless entry, leather seating with power for driver and passenger, Bluetooth audio, and navigation. Ofﬁcial fuel economy is rated at a just-ok 12.8L/100kms city and 9.3L/100kms for the V6; the four-cylinder will do a just over a litre better in town, and about the same on the highway. Observed fuel economy for mixed driving was right at 11L/100kms, which is actually very good.

Green Light:

Comfortable seats; spacious rear seating and cargo; reliability should be very good

Stop Sign:

Dated interior; ride compromised by huge wheels; no standout technology

The Checkered Flag:

A practical people-mover with panache; the bones of a station wagon in a nicer package.

Hydrogen fuel cell ride in Vancouver area soon

Tiny Spira4u seeks global markets:

Pilot production is under way in China for the electric- and gasolinepowered sub-subcompact Spira4u three-wheel urban vehicle that its marketers want to bring to North America. Conceived as a low-cost (to make, own and operate) and hypereconomical vehicle, the Spira4u is an Automotive XPrize finalist and a cross between a car and a motorcycle. Its soft, honeycomb-composite structure protects up to two occupants in a collision, and

the body from significant damage in parking lot fender-benders. The U.S. $5,000 gas-powered model delivers a top speed of 85 km-h and 2.9 l/100 km; the electric version reaches 100 km-h and goes 450 kilometres on a charge with one motor fitted. A much faster two electric-motor model is available.

Kenguru EV hops on mobility bandwagon:

Promising wheelchairusing travelers a level of personal mobility never before known, the first drive-from-wheelchair electric vehicle is under production in Pflugerville, Texas. The single-occupant Kenguru has a lone, remote-control operated rear door that allows the driver to wheel in, strap in and take control of the vehicle within seconds. Designed more for

urban areas than the open road, the 550-kilogram Hungarian-designed Kenguru is powered by two rear-axle electric motors, has a top speed of 50 km-h and a range of 70-110 kilometres per charge. It sells for about U.S. $25,000, before any electric-vehicle or mobility assistance funds that might be available in the buyer’s jurisdiction.

Tucson hydrogen fuel cell vehicle coming to Canada:

Hyundai says it will be the first automotive company to make hydrogenfuel-cell electric vehicles available to the public in Canada, and has launched a dedicated website to find the first Canadian customer for the Tucson Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle. It will be available to customers on a three-year lease

starting this spring in the Vancouver area. “We’re planting the seed for a new segment of the industry,” said Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. CEO, Don Romano. The challenge facing hydrogen-powered vehicles, he said, has been characterized by a chickenand-egg scenario “where car companies won’t bring fuel cell vehicles to market without an infrastructure, and there is no need for a refueling industry without customers.” In fuel-cell vehicles, hydrogen is converted to electricity to power electric drive motors. A fill-up takes about five minutes.

the needs of its car-production plant in the state of Rio-Grande do Sul, in southernmost Brazil. Honda says it’s the first automaker to open a wind farm in that country, and expects the facility to generate all the electricity needed for its annual production, currently around 140,000 units, reports alternate energy and vehicle website, Green Car Reports. Honda has experimented with wind power before, installing turbines at its transmission plant in Ohio, though on a much lesser scale. The U.S. $38-million Brazil project is part of Honda’s goal to cut its overall carbon-dioxide emissions 30 per cent by 2020.

Honda seeks energy efficiency Shift points through wind • Israeli company power: Storedot says it is a year

The automaker has unveiled a wind farm in Brazil that generates enough electricity to meet

away from bringing to market an electric-car battery that can be fully recharged in three min-

utes. If true and even remotely affordable, it would revolutionize the electric-vehicle industry – and possibly every industry from electric shavers to lawnmowers – putting it on equal re-fuel footing with internal-combustion engines for the first time. • Johnson Controls Inc. says it has developed a small lithium-ion battery specifically for use in vehicle stop-start systems, reports industry watchdog, Automotive News. About the size of a tissue box and weighing just four kilograms, it can double current stop-start efficiency to eight per cent from the current four. • Mazda says its 2016 Miata MX-5 model will be the first-ever vehicle to incorporate parts made from a new bio-plastic developed by the automaker. The plastic is based on plant-derived materials instead of petroleum, and does not require painting.

Tips for dry-weather garden maintenance GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

hen the weather’s dry it’s useful to check over your garden and see if a few well-placed cuts will improve the look and health of your plants.

For instance, as soon as winter heather quits blooming, it’s time to give it a trim all over to make room for fresh, new growth. Afterwards, heather always appreciates some compost and peat spread around its roots, too. Witchhazel seldom needs any pruning of its main branches, but suckers below the graft can constantly recur and be a major issue. They should be dealt

with immediately, as you see them by pulling them off the main trunk. Use pliers for this. The winter jasmine (Jasminium nudiflorum) has usually stopped flowering when February gets under way. That’s when it’s best to cut side branches back to the main stems. If not, it will flop all around in a mass of creeping green, spreading out long branches and rooting where it touches. For people with big gar-

dens, winter jasmine is a lovely ground-cover plant for a slope where it can quickly cover the whole area and give flowers all winter. Used like this, it doesn’t need pruning at all. For grapes, you need to cut everything down to one trunk with two branches each side (all four will grow and fruit later this year) and also two stubs (two on each side, which will be branches the following year).

Sunshine and air penetrate best when some of the branches pointing to the centre of the tree are taken out. This should be encouraged by always pruning so that the top (dominant) bud in a branch is on the outside. Also while you have your pruners out, it’s a good idea to cut back any fall flowering clematis such as Clematis. Email gardening questions to amarrison@shaw.ca.

It’s a lot of work, but the thinned-down grapevine will produce grapes with access to sunshine for ripeness, and also air to deter molds and rots. It’s also good to check any fruit trees as you pass by. Winter gales may have broken or roughed up some branches, and any dead or diseased ones should be cut out. Where two branches are trying to share the same space, the weaker one should be removed.

Yes, you too can become all ab, no flab KEEPING FIT Shaun Karp

ant to see all abs with no flab? You’re not alone. Recently, we’ve heard this more from both men and women alike. They aren’t after extreme bulk or extratiny waistlines, either. They only want to be healthy, look fit and have all the strength and energy they need to meet daily challenges. Basically, they want excellent muscle toning. The key to this is threefold. It requires a disciplined diet, diligent cardio, and an intense, but not overly heavy, weightlifting program. Like a tripod, good muscle tone simply won’t stand up if any of these are missing. ! Eat a balanced diet: To increase muscle tone, begin by eating five smaller meals per day, rather than three larger ones. Ensure all five

meals contain a significant protein source and avoid eating large quantities of starchy carbohydrates past the early afternoon. By spreading your calories out this way, your metabolism will run more evenly. ! Do smart cardio: The second key to a toned body is regular cardiovascular exercise to burn off energy that could otherwise be stored as fat. This occurs both during your cardio sessions and also indirectly, by raising your overall metabolism. But endless steady-state sweat sessions are not the answer. Instead, mix up your cardio with interval training that fluctuates between about 60 per cent and near 100 per cent effort. This can be performed for about 20 to 30 minutes before a workout, up to six days per week. Or get your cardio fix from playing an active sport. ! Work harder in the gym, not heavier: Finally, you’ll need the right weight lifting program to really target muscle toning. Generally, this means performing more repetitions at somewhat below your maxi-

mum lift weight. Shoot for a weight you can comfortably lift 12 to 15 times. Above all, a toning work out should always feature short breaks between sets, or, through the use of superset variations, no breaks at all. This keeps your heart pumping and the calories burning. These sessions should target every major muscle group, be performed at least three times per week, and should be totally overhauled with new exercises every four to six weeks. Need another hint? If you’re not sweating, you’re not toning. Here is a typical, wholebody toning workout plan: 1. Alternate lunges, three sets, 12 reps/leg 2. Lying leg curls, three sets, 12-15 reps 3. Bench step-ups, two sets, 12/leg 4. Seated cable rows, three sets, 12-15 reps 5. Incline chest flies, three sets, 8-12 reps 6. crunches on ball, three sets, 20-25 7.

The next one is already here in Burnaby Burnaby South’s Jermaine Haley is shining in the high school spotlight Tom Berridge

sports editor

There’s a fresh new buzz around the high school hard court these days. Kids, who used to come to the gym to get their daily fix of as much free-ball as possible, have a better reason for showing up to a varsity boys’ basketball main event. They’re coming to see arguably the best player in a generation to come out of the Lower Mainland to hit the district hardwood – Burnaby South Rebels’ point guard Jermaine Haley. At a recent senior boys’ game at New Westminster’s Pearson Gym, a throng of basketball-toting youngsters lined South’s end of the court to watch Haley’s acrobatic warm-ups. Older students in the stands leaned over each asking one another what the number was of this teenage superstar. Haley left no one disappointed, responding with a circus-style one-handed windmill slam dunk that caused the crowd to ooh and aah and the little kids to scream and jump in crazy disbelief, exploding from their rapt anticipation like bursting popcorn kernels – attempting in mock mimicry to emulate their new hero. They know who Haley is, and although just 17, the lanky Rebel star knows it, too. He’s a showman. But Haley is much, much more than that. Haley is a legitimate four-star prospect, who is gaining nation-wide attention from both sides of the border for his silky smooth basketball skills. The Province’s pre-eminent high school sports writer Howard Tsumura captured the multi-talented Haley in a recent blog in perhaps the only way one could – poetry in motion. “His three-point shot is a form-perfect exercise in round arc and ball spin. His drives to the basket are so confident they resemble a ballerina playing hopscotch on the playground. “And when you watch him play off his check

Dribble, drive and score: Burnaby South top prospect Jermaine Haley is hoping this is the year the Rebels bring a third provincial high school basketball title back to the school.

defensively, and extend his long arms into the passing lanes, you almost get the feeling that he knows where the ball is going to be delivered before the passer does.” Tariq Sbiet, CEO of North Pole Hoops, a national scouting service for college coaches, was quoted recently that Haley has a chance to be a very special player, and Jack LeGwin, recruiting writer for ZagsBlog, said Haley is perhaps the best player to come out of British Columbia since Steve Nash. High praise, but others believe so, too. ESPN Recruiting Nation Basketball described Haley in scouting terms – “Excellent frame with long arms, nice shoulder width – deceptive speed and quickness. In the half-court set, he can dissect the defence with his cross-court passing and penetration.” Nearly 30 U.S. Division I schools have lined up to show at least medium interest in the 6-7, 185pound phenom, including Associated Press top 25 teams – No. 3-ranked Gonzaga, No. 6 Louisville, No. 8 Utah, No. 10 Arizona,

No. 14 Maryland, No. 15 North Carolina, No. 22 Baylor and a flock of Pac12 schools, including the University of Washington, whom he backed off a verbal commitment to after earning a 2016 reclassification that would allow him one year of prep school eligibility before committing to a college program. His Drive Basketball club head coach Pasha Bains said Haley’s over abundance of natural tal-

ent and positive demeanor give him a very real possibility of becoming one of the province’s all-time high school greats. “He sees plays I don’t even see. It’s just amazing,” said Bains, a former Canadian high school player of the year and Sport B.C. high school athlete of the year. “He’s one of the best high school players I’ve ever seen, for sure. But, he’s one of the best passers in B.C. history.”

That’s a lot of hype to live up to, but Haley has learned to deal with it, said Bains, who played two seasons at Clemson University before transferring to Simon Fraser University, where he won Canadian university player of the year in 2004. So far, Haley is handling the pressure pretty well. His Burnaby South Rebels are ranked among the top 25 high school programs in Canada and the

team itself is currently 16-3 and ranked fifth overall. His high school coach Mike Bell, who won a B.C. junior title with Haley in 2013, said his court vision sets him apart. “He just sees the court and understands the game better than any other player I’ve seen in a long, long time,” Bell said. “Some of it may be Godgiven, but I work really hard at what I do,” said Haley, who described himself as an even better football player while growing up. But basketball was always more fun for the laid-back superstar, so he chose roundball over the pigskin much to his pro football-playing father’s chagrin. “I just didn’t have the same love I have for basketball,” he said. That love extends to his current high school teammates, who he credits with helping him “be me.” “When I’m on the court with my teammates, it’s just about getting better,” he said. “We try to put on a show and play the best basketball.” But taking the spotlight off himself has not been easy. “He’s been through the wars already. He’s getting harder,” added Bains of Haley’s continued growth playing in the Amateur Athletic Union league with Drive elite teams. Detractors have perhaps unfairly compared him to 2014 seniors Jadon Cohee from Langley and Mindy Minhas, who led Winston Churchill to the quad A boys’ hoop title last year. But this year is his alone to prove those insiders otherwise. “I have to be better. I have to play better team basketball,” Haley added. “In my mind, I’m trying to figure out who’s open, where they’re open? He’s also cognizant of who he is and what he represents. “I have to look at the bigger picture,” Haley said of his post-secondary future. It’s more about what is good for him, will in the end, be good for his family, too. “I want to represent them in a good way,” Haley said. “I have to be a Haley Page 40

Clan teams 1-1 this week

Simon Fraser University was stuck in a second-place logjam in Great Northwest conference women’s basketball following a 1-1 road record in Alaska. Conference scoring leader Erin Chambers scored a game-high 30 points in a 78-70 win over Alaska Fairbanks on Jan. 22. Two days later, Chambers failed to score more than 20 points for just the fourth time this season in the Clan’s 86-66 loss in Anchorage in NCAAA Division II basketball on Saturday. The weekend split left the Clan in a three-way tie for second place with Seattle Pacific and Western Washington in the Great Northwest all with similar 6-3 records. Next up for SFU is Seattle Pacific which is coming off back-to-back upset losses to Western Oregon and Saint Martin’s last week. In Fairbanks, Chambers scored five points and Division I transfer Alisha Roberts of Burnaby added a pair of free throws in the final two minutes to eke out the win over the Nanooks. Roberts, who had eight points and five rebounds in the win, nailed a big second-half three-pointer that kept alive a pivotal 12-2 Clan run. Meg Wilson, who finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, had two steals and Ellen Kett had a key offensive rebound to seal the win in the final minutes. In contrast, SFU was outshot 42 to 30 per cent from the field in Anchorage. Chambers netted 18 points for the Clan, while Wilson and Elisa Homer added 11 points apiece. The Clan men’s team earned its first victory of 2015 with a 97-87 home win over Saint Martin’s on Jan. 24. Justin Cole led the Clan with a game-high 25 points and seven rebounds. The win improved SFU’s conference record to 2-6. Earlier, SFU was soundly beaten 114-75 by Western Oregon on Jan. 22. The men remained at home this weekend with Alaskan teams coming to town. SFU will face Alaska Anchorage on Saturday in the West Gym. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.

Giants. The win brought the Giants to within 11 points of the front-running Cariboo Cougars, while remaining three game in hand over the Prince George club with 42 points to date. With the wins, the Giants picked up three points on third-place Okangan and two on Cariboo after the showcase competition at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The Rockets lost to the Northeast Chiefs 5-1 and also tied 6-6 in their series, while the Cougars split a pair against the Valley West Hawks. Both the Chiefs and Hawks are currently closely challenging the leaders with 40 and 36 points, respectively. The Giants take on the always-tough Chiefs in a weekend series that finishes off at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday morning, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The Giants will also be hosting their not-so-friendly Valentine on Feb. 14 and 15, when the Cougars come to town for a two-game set at the Burnaby Winter Club.
