Homeless counted Volunteers look for people in city with no fixed address BY ALAN CAMPBELL & EVE EDMONDS acampbell@richmond-news.com
Volunteers were out in force this week, counting Richmond’s homeless for the first time in three years. The 2011 Homeless Count was conducted across the Metro Vancouver region from midnight to midnight on Wednesday, March 16. “I met one fellow at Seafair (No. 1 and Francis roads) who sleeps in his car, and has done so for the past six or seven years,” said De Whalen, chair of Richmond’s poverty response committee. She was one of 27 volunteers who cruised the city looking for homeless. This is the first time Whalen has been involved in the count, however she has volunteered at the St. Alban’s extreme weather shelter. “I recognized a couple of guys from the shelter.” Every three years, volunteers in Richmond participate in the homeless count, organized by the Greater Vancouver Regional Steering Committee on Homelessness. The volunteers survey homeless Richmond residents to determine the number of homeless people in the city and get
information on their experiences while on the street. Whalen and her partner visited liquor stores, community centres, libraries and Return-It depots around Ironwood, Seafair and the Blundell shopping plaza. They would approach people who appeared to be homeless, offer them a cigarette or some chocolate then begin asking questions. “Most of them would talk to us. One person didn’t want anything to do with us. One fellow said he slept in the bushes behind Safeway at Seafair.” Deciding who to approach can be tricky, said Lynda Brummitt, the coordinator of this year’s count for Richmond. “The volunteers have to make a judgment call, but what they say is well scripted, and if it becomes evident that the person is not homeless, they have a gracious way to end the conversation.” The Homeless Count is a project recognized by government and funders as important community data and influences service planning and policy development for marginalized people in the community, said Brummitt. see City page 4
Steves backs Farnworth Councillor nails his colours to leadership mast CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS
Coun. Harold Steves is the first local politician to throw his support behind one of the New Democrat Party leadership candidates. Mike Farnworth is the man for the job of leading B.C.’s opposition party, according to Steves. Farnworth might not be a farmer, but he’s been a good friend to agriculture, according to Steves. That’s reason enough to give him the nod, said Steveston’s cattle farmer and former NDP MLA.

“When he was elected to Coquitlam city council, at the age of 24, he led the campaign to save Colony Farm,” Steve explained. Like the Garden City lands and Terra Nova Park in Richmond, Colony Farm was a piece of agricultural land that became embroiled in a public debate regarding development. Farnworth fought to have the farm acquired by Metro Vancouver and turned into an urban farm. “He’s done some of the same things I’ve done, so I support him,” Steves said. see Farnworth page 4

Students serve up a tasty Bite of BC!
Suppliers who donated to Richmond secondary’s culinary program treated to a feast BY ALAN CAMPBELL
acampbell@richmond-news.com
After walking into the large, softly lit room, the first thing that hit you was the tune belting out from Richmond secondary’s jazz ensemble. A few seconds later, a second sense, triggered by the glorious waft of freshly cooked food, registered at brain central. This was unusual. Normally, such a sweet smell would be the first message to reach this reporter’s consciousness. There are whispers — unconfirmed, due to the aforementioned lights — that a fresh joint of B.C.grown roast beef is being carved at the other side of the room. As the lights grow strong, however, it appears the beef is just the beginning. Emerging all around us from the previous gloom are mouth-watering delights — mashed, roasted, baked, raw, pickled and poached — all born and bred in B.C. and served up by their creators, the students. The reason for this soiree — Richmond secondary’s culinary arts program students wanted to thank their local food producing industry sponsors, who have been donating fresh produce for them to learn about and cook with. The young chefs, along with 32 other student groups like them across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, have for several months been the lucky recipients of fresh B.C. produce. It’s all thanks to the engineering and liaising of the provincial government’s BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation and its “Take a Bite of BC!” initiative, which

Harold Steves — representing the Metro Vancouver Agricultural Committee, which helps pay for the produce to be transported to the schools — is certain the program is working. “I think there is definitely a generational gap between where the food is grown and youth’s knowledge of where it comes from,” he said. “But the better the programs there are out there, like this one, the better it will be for our youth.” School principal Rose Sebellin

Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), which runs the facility, confirmed an investigation was conducted and VCH cooperated fully. “There is not really much more to add. The employee is no longer working there,” said VCH spokeswoman, Trudi Beutel.

Continued from page 1 The information collected may be used by Richmond social service agencies to support applications for funding to provide shelter and support for the homeless. The tally for this year’s count won’t be available until the end of April, but during the last count in 2008, 56 homeless people were counted, an increase of 60 per cent from the previ-
WHITE SPOT RICHMOND CENTRE OPEN DAILY FROM 8AM UNTIL 11PM
ous count in 2005. Of those counted, 19 were in shelters and 37 were on the streets. Richmond had the highest incidence of senior homelessness in Metro Vancouver. Sixteen per cent of those surveyed in Richmond were seniors, almost double the regional average of nine per cent. While the numbers of homeless counted this year in Richmond is expected to change from 2008, the number of permanent shelter beds in the city remains unchanged. The Richmond count is organized by the Faith Communities Housing Group, a task force of Richmond Poverty Response Committee. The City of Richmond and the Richmond RCMP have also assisted with planning. Meanwhile, the City of Richmond, in partnership with BC Housing, is this
week seeking partners for an affordable housing project at 8111 Granville Ave. As part of Richmond’s Affordable Housing Strategy, the city and BC Housing issued a request for “expressions of interest” seeking non-profit agencies to provide and manage affordable housing at the site. The City of Richmond purchased the property at 8111 Granville several years ago with the intention of using it to support affordable housing needs. The purpose of the current proposed project is to provide affordable rental housing that will accommodate the homeless and those at risk of homelessness. A information session and will be held to help inform potential respondents. For more details visit: www.richmond.ca/services/ socialplan/housing/ahdevopp.htm.
Farnworth: Grows his food
THERE’S A FRESH NEW SPOT IN TOWN
Continued from page 1 Farnworth is one of the few politicians from either political party who prioritizes agriculture and has worked to strengthen the Agriculture Land Reserve, added Steves. Most recently, Farnworth was with Steves in Delta imploring Delta city council to put the Southlands property back into the ALR. Farworth is also putting the issue of food security on the table, said Steves. “He grows some of his own food at his home. Meanwhile, we’re trying to encourage people to have backyard gardens.” But while Farnworth and Steves are like-minded on agricultural issues, it is Farnworth’s sense of humour that makes him premier material. “He’s got a great sense of humour that can disarm people and lead them into the discussion. He’s a person who is able to bring diverse people together, both within the NDP and on the provincial scale — that’s not a common thing.” The vote to elect the B.C.’s next NDP leader is April 17.

News of the horrifying disaster in Japan is spawning tremendous response from around the globe — including several elementary schools in Richmond. James McKinney elementary is raising hundreds of dollars towards the rescue effort in Japan by folding more than 1,000 origami paper cranes in a week. The Paper Crane Campaign started last Friday when Karen Leung’s Grade 1 and 2 class talked about the earthquake the night before, and decided to be proactive in helping the relief effort. “The kids said we could do something about this,” said Leung. “And we have some origami experts in the class who love to fold paper.” Shortly after the idea came to fruition, the whole school started getting involved. Students would make cranes in “buddy class” — where younger kids interact with their big buddies in higher grades — and even some parents have been getting

involved. So far, the school has raised $200 and expects to raise more than $500 by week’s end. All donations are going to the Red Cross — which has reportedly raised more thanover $1.6 million for Japan. “I think it’s good raising money for Japan,” said eight-year-old Kirin Tong. “It might hit us, so they would help us if there was one here.” Profits from the school’s annual St. Patrick’s Day bake sale are also going towards the cause. After this week, the 1,000 origami cranes will be offered to the Steveston Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. Other elementary schools doing similar fundraisers include Spul’u’kwuks and Quilchena elementaries. Go to www. richmond-news to find out more about these efforts. If you would like to donate, drop by McKinney on Lassam Road, between Steveston Highway and Williams Road. Or you can donate directly to the Red Cross by texting “redcross” to 30333 or by going to www.redcross.ca.

The City of Richmond is cranking up the pressure on restaurants they suspect are responsible for last week’s major sewer main blockage. A near half million dollar repair bill is expected to be swallowed by the city after a massive clump of grease was pulled out of the ruptured pipe under the Lansdowne Road corridor at Gilbert Road. The broken sewer main serves the city centre, which has a particularly high concentration of restaurants. Although there are residential units served by the main, the city is now focusing on the restaurant industry. “(The grease block) has been building up for years and is a continuing problem for the city,” said city spokes-
man Ted Townsend. “We are going to be a lot more vigorous in combating this, as it’s an expensive problem and it’s going to choke us off. It’s a particular problem in the city centre.” It’s been more than two years since the city introduced its grease management bylaw, aimed at tackling hundreds of restaurants tipping their used fat down the drain. In January this year the city gave the bylaw more teeth in a bid to help the sole inspecting officer deal with unscrupulous restaurateurs, among the city’s 900 food industry establishments, who’ve thus far shunned the previous soft, educational approach. As well as giving inspecting officers more power to check restaurants’ grease traps, the city hired several more officers. Restaurants are also now required to show their maintenance records. But Townsend explained that it may
The trees will turn blue in the name of art If you see a grove of atomic bluecoloured trees this weekend, don’t be alarmed; there’s not been a toxic leak. Beginning today at Garden City Community Park, the specially shippedin trees will be transformed by colour into a work of art as part of the final salvo from the Biennale temporary public art display. Artist Konstantin Dimopoulos will be seen applying a temporary blue colourant to a grouping
of 50 young trees in the park. The trees will gradually lose their vibrant blue colour over a period of weeks. Dimopoulos’s public installations focus on social and environmental themes and The Blue Trees project highlights the importance of trees to the planet’s survival. The temporary installation is timely, as the UN has declared 2011 the International Year of the Forest to raise

take some time for the fruits of the tougher bylaw and increased inspections to bear fruit. “The build up that we experienced (last week) is something that happened over a long period of time,” he said. “What we did was educational up until January this year. New officers came on this January and they’ve begun to issue fines and they are stepping up inspections and working very closely with the industry.” Last week, crews tried and failed to clear the blockage with high-pressure water, before being forced last Monday to seek emergency funding from the city to simply replace the pipe. It was then that the large solidified clump of grease was discovered. Metro Vancouver said the Richmond blockage was just about as bad as it gets, when it comes to finding grease in a sewer.

Community Safety... With the 911 Awards later this month, Richmond celebrates our City’s many partnerships in safety. What could be more critical to ensuring that our community remains liveable? Some of the agencies in the safety effort include:
The RCMP: The City works collaboratively with the RCMP to determine local policing priorities which now include organized crime, fraud and youth violence. The RCMP also works with the Translink police to ensure safety around the Canada Line while we await installation of turnstiles. The volunteer Auxiliary Constable programs add immeasurably to the effort.

Non-nuclear options even worse
W
hatever the outcome of the crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power plant, there is little doubt it will reignite the debate here in Canada over the use of nuclear power. While the discussion is necessary, it’s vital that it be cool-headed. The images coming out of Japan of exploding containment structures, fleeing workers and clouds of radioactive steam appear to put the lie to claims we have heard for years from proponents that nuclear power is safe. Dozens of people have been contaminated to varying degrees, and if the worst-casescenario — a full meltdown — plays out, the toll will be far higher. Already the EU is reviewing its energy policy in response, and it’s not unlikely Canada will follow suit. To see a plant that Japan deemed to be safe fail in the face of an expected natural disaster is certainly alarming, but before we let that fear drive us away from nuclear technology, we have to consider the alternatives. In much of Canada and in many parts of the world, the most viable forms of non-nuclear energy production involve the burning of fossil fuels. The gases released by those processes are changing our planet’s climate, pushing us toward a catastrophe on a scale that dwarfs anything that could result from a meltdown. Reviewing our nuclear policy and revisiting the safety and placement of our plants is sensible, but turning our backs on the technology without careful consideration could prove to be disastrously foolish. — North Shore News editorial

ICBC getting too greedy
The Editor, I refer to the recent ICBC and Driving Schools proposal in the mass media to require public motorists to take periodic driving retests. This is outrageous and an insult to the experienced and responsible public motorists. The hidden and insidious intentions of ICBC and the driving schools are to further exploit the public motorists. I do not condone any carnage on our roads and highways. The recalcitrant motorists of any age and status should be severely dealt with, with stiffer penalties including disqualification for life, impounding their vehicles and imprisonment. But I don’t concur with the insatiable intentions of ICBC and the driving schools. ICBC has, for years, profited hundreds of millions of dollars each year to fill the bottomless pockets of their employees with hefty wage increases. ICBC trade practices left much to be desired. In my opinion and that of many others I am sure, ICBC is carrying out unconscionable trade practices under legalized “conflict of interest” operations, that of mandatory basic insurer, enforcement of traffic infractions and arbitrary decision makers of alleged liabilities. I dare ICBC to privatize itself and get rid off its image of “ruthless exploitation” of public motorists. Aircare is another outrageous exploitation of new car owners. In the first place, if a new vehicle cannot meet the aircare requirements for at least the first five years of its life, it should not be allowed to be imported and/or sold anywhere in Canada. Ultimately, the hardest hit by these various forms of mandatory and unscrupulous exploitations are the average-wage earners and poor consumers in our G8 country. Ron Lim Richmond

Where have the snow geese gone? I’ve got two topics on my mind this week, and for both of them I seek input from you, Richmondites. The first is snow geese and the second is spring break. Are the snow geese missing from your neighbourhood this year? They are from mine. The last two winters I’ve seen snow geese flying overhead all winter and they’ve been feeding on the grass fields behind Burnett secondary for most of the winter. This year, they arrived, as usual, late in the fall. But after a short stay, they were gone. The flock of snow geese that winter in Richmond and Delta spend the summer on Wrangel Island in Russia, north of Siberia in the Arctic Ocean. Their annual commute is 4,000 kilometres. The Wrangel Island colony is the last remaining snow goose colony in Russia — the others were over-harvested and over-hunted to the point of extinction. From what I understand, this year represents their normal behaviour – heading off to the Skagit delta in Washington state after a brief stop here, while the last two years were unusual. The geese eat anything that’s green, but they

traditionally root underground for roots and rhizomes of bulrushes on the foreshore. This year, the city and the airport apparently embarked on some management plans including offering the geese an alternative food source by paying farmers to plant winter cover crops and using dogs, bright lights and lazers to deter the geese from settling here. I think it’s working. Either that, or the cooler weather prompted them to head south to their usual habitat. If they’ve decided to move on thanks to the city’s tactics, that’s probably a good thing. I don’t support a cull, but I don’t enjoy trying to dodge their poop when I’m out for a walk or at a baseball game either. What I’d like to hear from readers is whether or not you’ve noticed snow geese in your neighbourhood this winter. Send me an email to tracy.sherlock@gmail. com to let me know. The second topic on my mind is spring break.
This year’s the first year for a two-week spring break in Richmond, and I’d love to hear from readers how it’s affecting things at schools. Personally, I’m quite happy for my son to have a two-week break, but I won’t like it if he has to cram in a whole lot of work at the end of the year. There’s often a fair bit of that happening on a normal year, I suspect this year could be worse. The school board is reviewing the two-week spring break this year, and will decide on May 16 whether to proceed with an extended break next year as well. I think May 16 is too soon because we won’t have seen the full effect (if any) of having two weeks off. Are parents looking forward to an extra long break, or are they panicking over child care? Are kids ready for a break? Are students able to complete their classes with one week less of school, made up in minutes spread out through the year? If you’ve got thoughts on this subject, send me an email at tracy.sherlock@gmail.com and let me know. Comments and questions always welcome at tracy.sherlock@gmail. com.

However, instead of showing appreciation, the way these people ride their bikes shows that they are increasingly encroaching upon the right of pedestrians, riding roughshod over their safety. Because of some egregious bike riders, I am deprived of peace of mind when I walk on the sidewalk. Someone can, all of a sudden, cut you off from behind on a bike. By a stroke of bad luck, you can be knocked down. Having once been hit by a bike, I can tell from experiences that the victim can sustain injuries no less than those from a minor car accident. Ironic though it is, when I walk on the sidewalk now, I remind myself to look back every now and then to see if there are any bike riders from behind. The need to do shoulder check even on the sidewalk is a real load on anybody’s mind and takes away the pleasure that otherwise belongs to a pedestrian. Amaza Lee Richmond

The Editor, In some busy high-traffic areas where bicycle lanes are not marked, some bike-riders have taken the liberty of riding on the sidewalks, which are presumably a pedestrians’ haven from the threat of the traffic whizzing around. I have no issues with people riding their bikes slowly on a stretch of sidewalk as a way to avert traffic, as long as they make way for pedestrians, making a priority of all road users’ safety. However, what I always see are bike riders cycling hap-hazardly, going at full speed that can result in dire consequences if they happen to bump into someone. They weave their way around pedestrians, narrowly missing them. Pedestrians’ safety is the furthest thing from their mind. If I am not mistaken, bike riders do not have the right of way on sidewalks. Their presence on the sidewalk is connived out of generosity. It is a privilege given to them, not their entitlement.

The Editor: Re: “Pipeline plan needs overhaul,” Letters, March 11. On behalf of Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation (VAFFC), I would like to respond to the noted letter to the editor above. VAFFC conducted a thorough evaluation of potential long-term fuel delivery systems to serve YVR and assessed them based on the potential economic, environmental, social and regulatory effects associated with their construction and operation. Of the 14 options assessed initially, four options were evaluated further. These included an off-shore terminal west of YVR. VAFFC explored three off-shore terminal options including a floating single point mooring (SPM) buoy, a deep-water fixed terminal and a near-shore fixed terminal. Each would require a pipeline at least 10 kilometres long to transfer fuel to airport fuel storage facilities. The various off-shore terminal and pipeline combinations have significant
challenges to construct and operate: ! Significant disturbance and risk to the environmentally sensitive Sturgeon Bank mudflats. ! Conflict with YVR’s Master Plan, which includes an option for an off-shore runway. ! Extensive initial and ongoing dredging for a near shore fixed terminal to create a navigable channel and turning basin of suitable width and depth. ! Extensive disturbance and densification to stabilize the seabed for any structures. ! Significant regulatory concerns. ! Very high construction costs for fixed terminal options. ! Very high operating and maintenance costs for the SPM buoy. After extensive evaluation it was clear that the proposed project — which includes a marine terminal on the south arm of Fraser River, a fuel receiving facility and pipeline to YVR — is the best option to provide a safe, reliable and secure supply of jet fuel to the airport.

One year after construction began, the new stateof-the art Samuel Brighouse Elementary is in its final stages of completion. The school will be ready to open its doors by April 4 — and a Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) will be introduced in the fall. “The staff and students are very excited,” said Brighouse principal, Adam Heeney. “The students have seen this project go from a pile of sand to a beautiful new structure.” Moving equipment and supplies to the adjacent new building are set to start during the two-week spring break starting March 21. The school will complete its overhaul in the summer when the old building will be demolished and the new three-classroom NLC will then be attached to the structure. The NLC — which will operate during and after allocated school times — will emphasize literacy in the community for new immigrants and others. “We decided on many aspects of literacy,” said Eric Thorleifson, manager of energy and projects for Richmond School District. “This will help in providing new immigrants to Canada some basic skills.” Richmond has the largest percentage of immigrants of any city in Canada. B.C. had a total of 41,439 immigrants settle in the prov-

Conference examines residential schools’ legacy
By Alice Wong, MP
Tragedy … and Preparedness
While the earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan did tremendous damage, it was the subsequent 10-metre tsunami wave that cost the lives of thousands. Although these are frightening events, it bears repeating that Richmond will not “melt into the ocean,” as urban legend has sometimes suggested. Because Vancouver Island provides a barrier between Richmond and what’s known as the subduction zone, the risk of a tsunami here is small. Nevertheless, Richmond’s extensive dikes have been built more
than two feet above the highest water mark ever recorded (1894). These would absorb most of the impact of any tsunami.
BY MICHELLE HOPKINS
Over the past two years, federal government grants of nearly $6 million have been provided to Richmond for important projects like enhanced drainage, dike upgrades, and structural improvements. Safety is the single greatest concern of all levels of government. Nevertheless, it is important that every one of us do our part in anticipation of a possible natural disaster. Therefore I would encourage you to visit the government website getprepared.gc.ca for vital information on emergency preparedness.

Any comment about the recent events in Japan must begin by extending our heartfelt condolences, thoughts, and prayers to the victims and their loved ones. At times like this, we must bear in mind that humanity is greater than any disaster that can befall it, and so we join hands with those around the world to offer all possible humanitarian aid.
Chief Robert Joseph said the effects of the residential school system are now encoded in Aboriginal peoples own psyche. “It was horrible,” said Joseph, the executive director of the Residential School Survivors’ Society, recalling his own experiences in a residential school. “It created inter-generational trauma. We inherited these attitudes from the residential school system and passed it down to our own children.” Chief Joseph will be speaking about his experiences during a symposium at Kwantlen Polytechnic University which will look at how the residential school system continues to have a major influence on Aboriginals in Canada. Residential schools took aboriginal children away from their families for 10 months of the year and taught them reading, writing, arithmetic and Christianity from the late 19th century until the 1960s and ‘70s. The idea was to assimilate these Aboriginal children to modern day Canadians. But Joseph’s school was run like a military camp — supervisors would storm sleeping quarters at 7 a.m. every morning waking him up, and ordering him to take part in set classes and chores for the day. Many were not given the emotional support needed in a young child’s life, and several were sexually abused. After residential school, Joseph’s life took a turn for the worse when he became an alcoholic, and “had no purpose in life.” Resilience was needed to help him get on his
feet, and now he helps others with their lives and informs the public about this dark period in Canada’s history. The idea for the symposium, titled Social Justice and Reconciliation: Truthtelling About Canada and the Residential School System, was the brainchild of Seema Ahluwalia, chair of Kwantlen’s department of sociology. Ahluwalia wanted a tangible way for her first-year sociology students to take a closer look at the “horrible racism and colonization that our country was built on.” “We started by watching Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s apology to the first nation (July 11, 2008), in which he spoke about the burden we, as a country, and Canadians share in the tragic legacy of our Indian residential schools,” said Ahluwalia. She added that during the conference, there will be presentations by Chief Joseph, Xa-li-ya, Katzie First Nation Elder, Samaya Jardey from the B.C. Liaison, Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and Oyate Anawizipi, member of the Sicangu Lakota Nation. The symposium will also feature a poster presentation titled The Burden is Properly Ours by 20 teams of Kwantlen students. Finally, there will be a screening of the documentary, Fallen Feather: Indian Residential Industrial Schools, by Randy Bezeau (2007). “This conference will offer an opportunity for the public to take a closer look at the assimilation and cultural destruction residential schools have brought upon Aboriginal peoples,” said Ahluwalia. “The symposium will also offer the public and students a see Student page 14

Close shave for McRobert teachers Students at McRoberts secondary school raised $4,205 for cancer research. In turn, they were awarded by having their math and science teacher Nathalie Borrut shave her head while their music teacher Len Kay’s cousin, Santa, got rid of his beard. At left, the first locks of Borrut’s coif begin to fall as Meghan Minns starts to work her magic. Next to her is Nadine Bergsma, who begins to shave off the beard. Both are from Design Tech Hair Studio. Below, is a shot of Santa, before and after, while Borrut begins to adjust to her new hair style.

Continued from page 12 chance to listen to residential school survivors and appreciate how their descendants continue to suffer as a result of the system even today.” Jennifer Jobes, 29, one of Ahluwalia’ students, was blown away about what she has learned while researching and studying this “great Canadian tragedy.” “This issue had no light shed on it … I don’t ever remember studying about this in high school,” said the first year sociology student. “I feel guilt and shame of not knowing what went on and of believing the stereotypes I’d hear about first nation people.” Jobes will be in attendance during the symposium to answer questions from the public about her team’s poster and about the injustices brought upon our province’s Aboriginal people. Her team’s poster is titled,
Historical Amnesia, and deals specifically with what she calls “ignorance is not bliss; it perpetuates pain.” Jobes is excited to be part of this “important conference and welcomes questions from the public.” Ahluwalia is proud of the way Jobes, as well as all her other students, has embraced this “real world experience.” “The university has been extremely supportive of getting the students out of the classroom and allow them to explore the history and repercussions of Canada’s residential schools,” she added. “This is an opportunity to build bridges with the first nation as well as advancing the education of my students and the community.” This event is open to the public on Monday, March 21 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University,

and BUILDERS Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertips to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes. The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform. Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. “For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection. This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled. Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, woodframe homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

METHOD: In a large frying pan, sauté the leeks and garlic in three T. (45 ml) of olive oil for a few minutes. Add scallions and two T. (30 ml) chives. Continue cooking for one minute before adding the clam juice. Lower heat and reduce for approximately 10 minutes or until the cooking juices have evaporated. Season to taste. Set sauce aside and keep warm. Meanwhile, season the pieces of fish. In the same frying pan, cook them a few minutes. Divide the leek sauce among four plates and top with the pieces of fish. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon juice. One key preparation note: This fish has large pin bones, which are curved little bones that run along the fish’s centerline. They need to be removed before you go any further. Do this with a pair of needle-nosed pliers.

On that day, participating eateries will contribute 25 per cent of their sales to people living with HIV/AIDS through A Loving Spoonful and Friends For Life. “A couple spending $140 at a Dining Out For Life restaurant will provide meals for 10 people through Friends For Life and A Loving Spoonful,“ said Lisa Martella, executive director of A Loving Spoonful. “Make a difference. Dine out and support people in your community with HIV/AIDS.” Four local restaurants have come on board to support this important fundraiser: Globe @ YVR, Steveston Seafood House, Thai House and Tramonto in the River Rock Casino Resort. For a full listing, visit www.diningoutforlife.com/vancouver/ participating. This is the third year in a row that Shane Dagan, proprietor of the Steveston Seafood House, has taken part in Dine Out For Life. “Last year, we ended up raising more than $800 for the cause,” said Dagan. “It really feels good to support organizations that help people living with HIV/AIDS.” The News asked Dagan to provide our readers with a recipe for one of its signature dishes. “Here’s our recipe for grilled sablefish with leek and scallion sauce,” he said. “Sablefish, also known as black cod, is a very versatile fish. It is abundant in the Pacific Northwest and is silky rich in omega 3. Sablefish’s high fat content makes it a great choice for the novice chef. The fat acts as a buffer against overcooking.”

“When you dine out on March 24 you are putting food on the plate for many others,” said Sheena Sargeant, executive director of Friends For Life. “We are thrilled that four fabulous Richmond restaurants, along with 235 other B.C. restaurants are supporting Dining Out For Life. It’s an essential fundraising event.”

If you find yourself wanting to head out for a culinary feast with family or friends on March 24, you can enjoy a breakfast, lunch or dinner out and feel good knowing you are helping those living with HIV/AIDS. That day is the 17th Annual Dine Out For Life fundraiser for HIV/AIDS - a day to support those in our province living with this insidious disease.

Purple Giraffe goes for giggles
• The Very Best Care for Your Car • Family Owned & Operated
Graduates from the Tickle Me Pickle improv group, who re-branded themselves as Make Me Laugh, Purple Giraffe, put on a show this past Thursday at the Richmond Cultural Centre. For the next performance date or more information, visit www.ticklemepickle.com. Below, while learning to make the perfect nacho from Alex Eidelshtein (right), Yaniv Pereyaslavsky (left) gets stabbed by Alex’s evil twin Sam Jaffe (centre) as he chops jalapenos. At right is the aftermath, as Pereyaslavsky is writhing on the ground after being blinded with jalapeno peppers and poisoned by nachos while Eidelshtein offers CPR.

Jack Layton, leader of the federal NDP, has over the past year or so been advocating the reform of the Canada Pension Plan. It would appear his party’s idea of reform is to double the benefit amount. Of course it sounds good for recipients, but not so for those Canadians who would have to pay for it. I don’t know how they determined on what basis the monthly payment should be doubled, but I don’t think the plan can bear that large of an increase in payments, even if the increase is gradual. What I would like to see examined and changed is the survivor benefit component of our pension system. At present, if a couple (married or common law) both receive the CPP and the OAS, their combined monthly income from those pensions will probably be between about $2,100 and $2,800. But if one of them dies, the survivor loses their late spouse’s OAS entirely, and receives only 60% of their late spouse’s CPP. The income drop will be at least $700 per month. I would like to see the government address this specific issue in its current examination of the Federal pension plans. . Visit our website (www.WillPowerLaw.com) or call us at

Going with flow goes long way
FAMILY FUNCT ION
I imagine every parent worries about whether they are preparing their children well for adulthood. The good news is a child only needs three things in the backpack of life in order to survive the big world: Strength, flexibility, and the wisdom to know which one to use in a given situation. Strength can mean both physical and psychological resilience. Obviously, if we are physically fit
and eat nutritiously we will be able to fight off disease and endure more hardships. If we are psychologically fit we will be able to think quickly under pressure. We will also be able to prevent dangerous situations, solve problems and cope with setbacks. Flexibility is as important for survival as strength, perhaps even more. It has been said the simplest definition of mental illness is “rigidity.” When we resist change or have trouble adjusting to the new state of being, we will typically experience anxiety or depression. Bottom line, if we can’t go with the flow, we will feel stress and may eventually get left behind.
The importance of flexibility for survival is described beautifully in the book, Who Stole My Cheese? by Dr. Spencer Johnson. The parable is about two mice and two men who always went to the exact same place and did the exact same thing and found cheese. One day, they discover the cheese isn’t in the usual spot. Some refuse to accept things have changed and keep repeating the same old pattern hoping the cheese will reappear. Some adjust to the fact the cheese isn’t there anymore and search for new cheese in a new place. see Survival page 23

Survival: Be flexible and prepare for change unscathed and simply waits for the stronger force to eventually weaken. Darwin stated: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Darwin was a pretty smart guy, so I’m going to suggest that our time may be best spent teaching children to be flexible and to go with the flow. The biggest challenge of course is learning how to be less rigid ourselves, so we can be good role models of flexibility. With perhaps the exception of the order in which you cut the wires to defuse a bomb, there is rarely only one right way to do something. We have our way to do something and millions of others have their ways to do something that also work — often our way isn’t even the best way. The next time you feel a powerful force against you, it might be beneficial to consider breaking your old habits and find a new way of doing things. Try something that feels unnatural or outside your comfort zone, then be flexible and prepare for change. The reward is you win, because the opposing forces will eventually weaken and you will no longer have to fight.

Continued from page 21 I can’t remember if the rigid ones don’t change and starve to death or if they learn they have to change to survive. Either way, it’s a good reminder that flexibility is necessary for survival. So, how do we teach children how to be strong and flexible at the same time? I say teach them to be like bamboo. Bamboo can grow and survive under very harsh conditions because it possesses the qualities of both strength and flexibility. It will bend with the severe winds and it will quickly adapt to changes in the environment. It goes with the flow rather than fighting the forces of nature. For example, I have a friend who is an elite judo athlete and he can beat opponents who are bigger than him; not because he’s stronger, but because he’s flexible like bamboo and lets the power of the larger opponent’s force roll over him. He knows that two powerful forces clashing will cause the weaker of the two to break, so it’s better if the weaker force flexibly bends and surrenders to the stronger force. By bending, he will waste no energy opposing a force that is more powerful than him and he will not get injured. In other words, he bounces back

Richmond holds off Ice Hawks to advance to PIJHL final series BY MARK BOOTH
mbooth@richmond-news.com
The Richmond Sockeyes get back to work tonight after surviving a conference final series that more than lived up to the hype. The Sockeyes took out the Delta Ice Hawks in seven games and now meet the Abbotsford Pilots in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League championship series. Game one takes place in Abbotsford and the teams come to Minoru Arena for game two on Saturday (5:45 p.m.) and three on Monday (7:30 p.m.). Richmond finished 20 points better than the Pilots in the regular season and just eliminated a team many believe was its biggest threat. Still, head coach Judd Lambert isn’t concerned about a letdown. “We have won eight games and you need 12 (to win the championship),” said Lambert. “It’s only two series (we have won) and it takes three.” The PIJHL coach-of-
the-year was breathing a sigh of relief inside a jubilant lockerroom after surviving another late third period scare from the Ice Hawks on Wednesday night. Eli Wiebe’s goal midway through the final frame gave the hosts a 3-1 lead. Delta pulled within one when Kye Benjaminson scored his second of the night with 4:40 remaining. The Ice Hawks were back in familiar territory, having produced a pair of late goals in games five and six to force overtime and go onto victory. This time there would be no equalizer despite Konrad Sander missing a glorious chance in the dying seconds. The Sockeyes had plenty of excuses for their shaky finishes namely a rash of injuries that resulted in four affiliates dressing for game six and three for game seven. Yet, Lambert pointed elsewhere. “That is a good hockey team,” he said of his conference rival. “When their

It was helpful we had a two goal lead tonight and fortunately we were able to hold them off.” The difference in the series just might of been the Sockeyes receiving
more in the way of secondary scoring. Blueliner Keenan Webb, who scored just five goals in 41 regular season games, scored twice in game seven. Meanwhile, Ice Hawk forwards Liam Harding, Cody Fidgett, Spencer
Traher, Cody Smith and Benjaminsen accounted for all but one of their goals in the series. Sander, who was 12th in league scoring, was held without a point. “One of the things we talked about was getting our offence more spread out and it just didn’t hap-
pen,” said Ice Hawks coach Dave McLellan. “Our guys deserve a lot of credit for never quitting. It’s unfortunate the top two teams in the league are in one division and they really battled it out in this series. “Good luck to the Sockeyes.”
Wildcats finish 10th at junior girls provincial tournament
McMath Wildcats capped an outstanding season with a 10th place finish at the Provincial Junior Girls Basketball Championships in Abbotsford. Seeded ninth, McMath opened played against the No. 8 Vernon Panthers. Whether it was opening game jitters or missing one of their key starters, the Cats fell behind 13-2 early on, but then regrouped and clawed their way
back and led 25-24 at the half. Vernon’s close in shooting was the difference in the second half as they outlasted the Wildcats 54-49 McMath rebounded with a 6630 victory over the Prince Rupert Rainmakers and continued its winning ways with a 57-39 triumph against St. Thomas More. The Wildcats had an opportunity to finish the tournament exactly where they started but dropped
a 51-40 decision to Nanaimo’s Dover Bay. Players of the Game throughout the championships included: Danielle Kiss (Vernon), Hillary Schaap (Prince Rupert), Katrina Tan (STM) and Tara MacKinnon (Dover Bay). Head coach Pete Tyler noted the provincial experience was frustrating for both him and the players but he emphasized the
girls had fun and will build on the experience heading into next year. He added the team has good balance and great chemistry and hopes the overall experience will instill commitment and motivate the players to improve on their skills in the offseason. He is motivated and can’t wait for next year when the girls’ move up to the senior ranks. The Wildcats finished the

Richmond’s Ashley Jang teamed with Jensen Ly of Calgary to capture the mixed doubles event at the Canadian College Athletic Association (CCAA) National Badminton Championships in Sackville, New Brunswick. The Kwantlen Eagles students played the ultimate game as a team to win gold. After a tough loss to the Ontario team early in the tournament (18-21, 21-16, 16-21), the Eagles duo won the next five matches to advance to the gold medal game against the numberone ranked ACAC team from NAIT, Sinead Cheah and Joey Vandervet. Ly and Jang won the match in straight sets, 21-17, 21-12. Jang returned to the nationals as the 2010 bronze medalist in women’s doubles. The 2011 Championships brought a new challenge of a knee injury suffered at the BCCAA Provincial Championships two weeks prior. Jang was able to practice only a few times before departing to New Brunswick. As a result, they needed to dig deep and

Jensen and I just wanted to play our best. We stayed up late talking about our strategy because we wanted to get the banner for Kwantlen.” “I am extremely proud of Jensen and Ashley for their perseverance and demonstra-
tion of teamwork,” added Elise Le Brun, director of athletics and recreation. “They have great chemistry on the court, and their success at nationals is a celebration of their hard work and the support provided by their Kwantlen coaches and teammates. It’s a fantastic finish to their season, and winning our first CCAA national banner is a tremendous accomplishment for our University.”

More than 80 training sessions and 25 games since August, the Richmond United U18 selects captured the B.C. Youth Select Boys League championship Sunday with a 2-1 win over Victoria at Camosun College in in the provincial capital. Jason James scored both Richmond goals in the opening half of a game that was literally controlled by the wind with gusts over 80 km/h. Jim Lamond who is the president of the Richmond Sports Council and a longtime soccer executive, recalls the last time Richmond won the B.C. Selects U18 division was over 25 years ago. It’s quite a feat as Richmond is the smallest district in provincial youth soccer. “The team has worked extremely hard over the past seven months and the boys have the mental attitude that you don’t just

Seafair Thunder Atom C5 took home the Pacific Coast Hockey Association’s President’s League Blue Group playoff championship banner with a 6-2 win over Vancouver Minor C3. The Blue Group consisted of the top six of the 35 teams in the President’s League. Seafair and Vancouver had previously met twice in the lead up to the banner game, with Vancouver having the slight edge with a win and a tie. The Thunder clinched a spot in the final by beating out very strong teams from New Westminster, Vancouver and within their own association. They got off to a rough start, falling behind 2-0 in the early going. Rookie netminder Colin Johnson maintained his composure and propelled his team forward

with a solid display of goaltending. The Thunder got on the board late in the first period with a goal from Quin Griffith. The locals continued to push forward dominating the second period, with two more goals, another from Griffith and the other from first-year Atom Riley Kiss.

Captain Hunter van Hest topped off the game with two goals. Rounding out the team are: Aaron Benatar, Trevin Keil, and Bryn Morgan, Chase Eichen and Thomas Hu.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your clout, reputation are high among the powers that be. Step forward now through the weeks ahead, exhibit your skills, show your record, seek bigger responsibilities. Your career sector is under splendid, expansive rays of luck! However, several cautions: 1) you might meet opposition (or pursue the least lucky position under a misguided notion of responsibility) before March 29; 2) your best action will be taken after March 28; and 3) the best project, boss, etc., will probably be linked to the past – something brand new might have a built-in “go in circles” direction-finder. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead are very significant in intellect, education, media, publishing, far travel, international dealings, law, cultural rituals, religion, life philosophy, fame and especially, love. Your creative talents find a wide audience. The most valuable gift: understanding. A few cautions: 1) headwinds, probably involving health or employment factors, assail you in these areas until March 28; 2) Mercury goes retro soon, so it isn’t the best time to start new projects. Your luck will be better with ongoing or old, revived projects, loves, situations. Romance Wednesday-Friday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Great, significant change arrives in the weeks ahead. It might be huge, obvious; or it might merely be a shift in direction that steers your next eight years (and beyond, because nothing returns). Finances, intimacy, health, and, less directly, employment/work can be deeply affected. Generally, this is a very lucky time. However, a couple of cautions: You’ll make much better headway after March 28; to this date, obstacles appear in money and love. To succeed, stick with an ongoing or return to a past sexual, domestic/property, financial or employment situation. Be optimistic!

But some advice: 1) projects that aren’t meant to work will “fail” (or give signals of demise – some subtle) by March 28; 2) it’s better to start after March 28; 3) for success, this project should be connected to a past person, project or situation; and 4) it’s best (for easy progress) to steer clear of ambition, career and investment. Chase far travel, gentle love and intellectual things. Taurus April 20-May 20: Retreat, rest, find sweet solitude for the few weeks ahead. Your energy is low, but your spiritual,planning and administrative abilities are strong. Deal with institutions, civil servants, government – they could have a “treasure” for you. Contemplate and plan. Be charitable. Tackle chores Sunday. Relationships flow smoothly Monday noon to Thursday, but you might meet a bit of deception midday Wednesday. A good investment opportunity can arise Thursday morning – seek it! Finish chores this week, as slowdowns and indecision start soon. Saturday’s mellow, but not profitable. Gemini May 21-June 20: A major wish might come true over the weeks ahead. It will probably be a wish about a relationship, romance, marriage (or divorce), about litigation, negotiation, friendship/ popularity – but it won’t be limited to these. It will very likely involve an ongoing or past situation, person or project. Now is the time to reprise the past, in a big way! Romantic or creative urges sweeten Sunday and early Monday. But settle down to chores Monday afternoon to Wednesday noon – all goes smoothly enough. Big opportunities face you Wednesday eve, Thursday. Be alert! Don’t trust “independence.”

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Important, life-directionchanging opportunities face you over the next four weeks, mainly in love, partnership, relocation, negotiation, agreements, litigation, dealings with the public, marriage and divorce. You can see events as opportunities or as challenges, even as threats of defeat. But even the worst case will be a “win” in that it grants you freedom. To succeed, see another’s point of view, fulfil another’s desire(s). Conciliate, encourage, merge, find common ground – easier after March 28. Stick to ongoing/past people/projects – brand new ones have an Achilles heel. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Great luck comes to your employment sphere over the weeks ahead. Your hours or tasks are almost certain to increase, and your income with it. This might be short-term (e.g. overtime hours) or more permanent (e.g. a pay raise). Aim, if you can, for the permanent. But whatever occurs, it will cause a change in direction that lasts for eight years. Apply this luck (via your efforts) to a situation, job, project that is ongoing, or returns from the past. Initiating a brand-new project might lead to eight years of “on/off” work disruptions. Money luck Thursday. By mid-year, new luck! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The month ahead is one of the most important – and luckiest – in a decade, maybe many decades. You might experience a big, obvious event, or a less marked but significant “turn” that heads you in a new, exciting direction, in creative, speculative, risk-taking, romantic, pleasure or beauty zones. Two secondary elements play an important role: 1) communications or travel, and 2) your personality. Relationships will be sober, or deal with a realistic environment. Through March 28, obstacles exist; be patient, then leap! Avoid brand new projects/people: reprise the past.
Mar. 20 - Mar. 26 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead feature much luck on domestic, property, therapy, healing, nature, gardening, agriculture, security, retirement,child-oriented,foundational and nurturing fronts. This is a great time to buy a house, have a child, or expand business territory (“foundational”). What you pursue should be something ongoing or from the past (e.g., a house you wanted to buy before but couldn’t). “Dilemma” choices face you through March 28, so proceeding after this is easier. What you do now will affect your income and spending for the next eight years. Think “cornerstone.” Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead can bring much indecision. You might see people around you making big moves, having luck pour onto them, and you can think: what about me? Don’t worry, your big luck runs from this June to June 2012 – whereas everybody “lucking out” now will get little June onward. Meanwhile, your communications, mail, friends, siblings, travel, paperwork and curiosity will expand in interesting ways. Problems and obstacles arise through March 28, so go slow in the areas listed. Stick to former or ongoing projects and people: the brand new will bring future delays. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead feature earnings, spending, possessions, sensuality and rote learning – in powerfully lucky ways. Your career and earnings can climb a ladder to new heights. For career, read “status” – for example, “marrying up” is a status move. (Great career hints Thursday morning.) Expect obstacles through March 28 – be patient, then leap! Since your relationships are headed for a period of delay and “circling,” you’ll fare best if you stick to ongoing or (probably luckier) past contacts and projects than if you try to launch new boats into new waters.

DriveTime VOLKSWAGEN
New Jetta a good car at right price For the past two decades, the story on the Jetta has been the same thing: “good car, too expensive.” Jetta owners loved their German-engineered compact sedans dearly, but in comparison to lessexpensive Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas, it was difficult to compete directly on price alone. As a result, the Jetta settled into something of a niche role, with a loyal fanbase and a host of admirers, while the Civic and Corolla dominated sales. For its part, Volkswagen seemed fine with that. Preferring to position the Jetta as a premium alternative, the automaker decided to sell it alongside the City Jetta, which was essentially the previous model at a lower price. However, that strategy — while intriguing — could only go so far in a segment that has gotten increasingly competitive in recent years. With a new crop of value-priced compacts arriving for 2011, headlined by exciting new entries such as the Chevrolet Cruze and Hyundai Elantra, Volkswagen had to reconsider the Jetta sales model. The result is a brand new, 2011 Volkswagen Jetta that sells for just $15,875, which is a significant drop from the 2010 model’s $22k starting price. And while the redesigned, sixth-generation sedan is an excellent car, that price reduction is what makes it a potential game changer. Though the Jetta still has upmarket appeal, it’s now priced like the massmarket compacts to which it’s been compared. There’s only one major sticking point, and you’ll find it under the hood. In order to get the price down, VW has equipped sub-$20k Jettas with its decades-old 2.0L inlinefour, which produces a subcompact-like 115-hp and 125 lb-ft of torque. To get the excellent 2.5L inline-five that served as the base engine in last year’s model, you have to spend $21k.
Mind you, consumers who have always wanted a Jetta (but ended up with something else) can finally justify the purchase—and that’s really the point. Volkswagen has taken the Jetta closer to what it once was, without compromising what it has become. That alone will turn window shoppers into Jetta owners.

Design
The best overall descriptor for the Jetta is “simple”, and with that goal in mind the designers have done a fantastic job. It’s a very elegant car, with clean lines and pleasing proportions. Though some consumers might find it a bit too generic for their tastes, it’s very easy on the eyes. A prominent badge and trademark grille treatment clearly define the Jetta as a Volkswagen, but there’s a decidedly Audi-ish feel to it that’s particularly noticeable in the back, from the curve of the rear deck to the shape of the tail lamps. Inside, the Jetta continues the simple styling with a business-like interior that isn’t fancy, but comes across as very well organized and comfortable. With solid-feeling plastics and sturdy controls, build quality is a definite high point in the Jetta. As with its predecessor, it feels like the upscale car that Volkswagen envisions it being.
Performance
The base 2.0L inlinefour generates 115-hp and 125 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.5L inline-five pushes 170-hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. Both engines get a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. Down the line, the the turbocharged 2.0L from the previous model will return (good for 200-hp), along with a 1.4L hybrid powertrain with 150-hp and a seven-speed directshift gearbox. Of course, what many people really want in their Jetta is VW’s turbocharged TDI 2.0L diesel, producing 140-hp and 236 lb-ft of torque and connected to a six-speed manual or direct-shift gearbox. see Jetta page 32

The 2011 Jetta will sell for just $15,875 which is a big drop from the 2010 model, a difference that Volkswagen hopes will incite new followers.

2006 FORD RANGER SPORT
Handling is reasonably good, but the steering is a tad light for my taste and doesn’t provide much road feedback. In combination with the 2.0L engine, that makes for a very relaxed base model when it comes to performance, though the prospects are improved by the more-responsive 2.5L. On the bright side, the Jetta retains the German feel that separates it from its American and Asian counterparts, with the firm-but-comfortable ride that we’ve come to expect from Volkswagen vehicles.

Continued from page 31
Bowing somewhat to North American tastes, the Jetta has increased in size, both inside and out. There’s lots of room in both the front and back seats, and the trunk is impressively large for a compact car. Controls are logically placed and easy to use, but it would have been nice to see the stereo display located at the top of the dashboard in plain view, instead of the two large vents taking up space. As interesting as the base Trendline trim might be for under $16k, it’s hard to recommend a car that doesn’t include air conditioning or remote keyless entry. The Trendline+ adds these features, while cruise control shows up on the Comfortline.
Features
The Jetta ranges in price from $15,875 to $26,655, and is available in Trendline, Trendline+, Comfortline, Sportline, and Highline trims. Standard equipment on the Spartan Trendline includes ABS, traction control, tilt/telescope steering, four-speaker CD/MP3 stereo, and six airbags. Notable features available as options or on higher trims include air conditioning, fog lamps, cruise control, remote keyless entry, heated front seats, Bluetooth, six-speaker audio, and a sunroof. Fuel efficiency for the 2.0L gasoline engine is rated at 9.1L/100km in the city and 6.0L/100km on the highway, while the TDI diesel is rated at 6.7L/100km and 4.6L/100km, respectively.
Thumbs up
Lower price; sleek styling; huge trunk.
Thumbs down
Mediocre base engine; limited features on base models.
The bottom line
More competitive than before, the Jetta is becoming a comeback car of the year.
