‘Family’ divided at Ikea: union worker Dispute enters fourth month, no further talks planned

The summer sun was shining Wednesday, but the drawn-out labour dispute at Ikea’s Richmond location has cast a dark cloud over one longtime employee.

Linda Mueller, who works as a cashier in the store’s 600-seat restaurant, has been with the Swedish home furnishings giant since it downed roots in Richmond back in 1979.

Then, the store was located on For past No. 3 Road, a couple of blocks story, or so south of Cambie Road. And feedback with around 50 employees, it fostered a family-like atmosphere.

Today, at the sprawling, new outlet — the showroom alone covers 60,000-square-feet and the operation employs close to 400 — in north-east Richmond that opened in April 2012, those close ties among employees no longer exist.

Mueller, 61, says the change is a shame, and heightens her disappointment the 300 or so unionized workers — represented by Teamsters Local 213 — and their employer are still at odds after nearly three months.

Wednesday, to be exact, was day number 88 on the picket line for Mueller and her co-workers, many of whom she said are not as fortunate as her to get full time hours.

“Some people are getting just four hours a week,” she said, adding that is the way the company is not on the hook of providing benefits to workers.

Under the expired collective agreement, Ikea Richmond employees have to work 15 hours in order to qualify for benefits coverage. The company had offered workers putting in 15 to 23 hours a week 80 per cent company paid benefits for themselves.

And those working more than 24 hours a week would qualify for 100 per cent company paid benefits for themselves and their families.

Those offers were rejected by the union.

The company has maintained it has always been its ambition to reach a fair resolution.

JOHN CORREA SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Linda Mueller, a 34-year Ikea employee, works as a cashier at the store’s 600-seat restaurant and has been on the picket line for 88 days.

That’s why on July 13, Ikea entered into mediation in good faith and provided the union with an amended proposal eliminating a two-tier wage system, which was the primary barrier that brought the parties into mediation.

The alternate wage system included a two per cent automatic annual increase, as well as a potential six per cent annual increase tied to the store’s performance. That would amount to four per cent for meeting the country average and an additional two per cent for exceeding it.

The company also stated that 50 per cent of Ikea Richmond employees earn $18 an hour or more, and the average wage is more than $16 an hour.

“We believe that this is a fair and generous wage and is well above retail industry averages,” stated Ikea.

Faced with the company’s offers, the union remained unconvinced they would benefit its members and declined them.

The company also proposed changes to address what it considered as the store’s poor performance — Ikea ranks Richmond worst out of its 12 Canadian operations.

And that’s especially discouraging, states the company, given the investment in the new store.

“Despite the Ikea Richmond store being set-up to be a leading store on all metrics in the country, the store continues to underperform,” stated the company in a press release. “The global investment request that we aimed to meet in the first year, will now not be met until four years later.”

But that’s misplaced criticism, Meuller said, adding the responsibility for achieving sales cannot be put solely on the shoulders of the unionized workforce — management also needs to be accountable.

“And as anyone knows, when you have a new store, the customers need time to get used to it and re-establish their shopping patterns,” she said.

“That can take a couple of years.”

Rabbits wrapped in red tape Delay has multiplied problem of remaining feral population at auto mall JOHN CORREA SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Wrapping up an attempt to rescue and relocate a group of Richmond’s feral rabbits in red tape is just plain wrong.

That’s the view of officials at Rabbitats who said a delay at the provincial level has multiplied the problem — literally — at the Richmond Auto Mall.

Rabbitats has already trapped a government-mandated quota of 50 bunnies from the 65 or so feral rabbits living in and around the auto mall, but has been prevented from collecting the remainder whose numbers have since increased.

The problem stems, Rabbitats claims, from a delay while officials at B.C.’s Fish, Wildlife and Habitat Management Branch sort out their internal policies.

Rabbitats had a permit to transport the 50 rabbits to a sanctuary in Washington State, which adhered to gov-

Environmental group says wireless water meters pose health risk

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Those Richmond homeowners who have so far not signed up to have a wireless water meter installed on their property are being encouraged to stand their ground and oppose them.

That’s the advice from Una St. Clair, executive director for the Citizens for Safe Technology Society (CST) as the city prepares to make them mandatory for the remaining 8,000 or so single family homes not currently using them. “(Wireless) water meters should not be forced on anybody,” St. Clair said.

“They should be fully explained and people be given the choice.”

St. Clair said she believes they pose a health hazard.

“This (microwave radio frequency radiation) is a toxin. And the government shouldn’t be in charge of telling you should take this toxin because it’s convenient for us,” St. Clair said, citing a Kamloops resident who had a wireless water meter installed on her property two years ago and complained it caused her to feel ill.

“She got strong tinnitus (ringing in the ears),” St. Clair said.

City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said the new water meters are considered safe.

“We’ve been using radio frequency devices for a number of years and never had any concerns about them,” he said.

“Their output is less than one-tenth of what the BC Hydro smart meters use.

And they (water meters) are typically installed, at the front of the property line, closest to the street.”

The new meters transmit water usage data that allow meter readings to be taken from a vehicle cruising past a row of homes. Townsend said readings are gathered four times a year.

About 70 per cent of local, single family homes — which constitutes roughly 20,000 residences — already have the meters which have been offered on a voluntary basis over the past five years.

The CST’s St. Clair said it’s important for the public to consider just how widespread wireless technologies are being used today when deciding on allowing one more to be installed on their property.

“It’s not just your (water) meter,” St. Clair said. “If you’re in a normal, urban development think of all the houses around you, all sending, spiking, pulsing microwave radiation signals.

“People don’t get the big picture, which is the whole area is polluted by multiple units that are pulsing away.”

St. Clair, who lives in Langley, said she has refused to have a BC Hydro smart meter installed at her home, and would also pass on a wireless water meter if it was offered.

“This is a toxin. It’s an invisible, environmental pollutant. It’s not safe,” St. Clair said, adding that in May 2011 the World Health Organization has listed microwave radio frequency radiation as a possible cause of cancer.

Asked what she felt the potential health impacts could be, St. Clair said future generations likely will pay the price.

“Will it be us, personally? I think our children will be the ones who suffer the most as their immune systems are developing. Science shows immune systems are impacted by these exposures to chronic, long-term, low-level exposure. I think our children will pay the ultimate price, probably in further low fertility, early onset of dementia and cancers, immune system challenges.”

Homeowners who’ve had the new meters installed have benefitted from lower annual bills, Townsend said. Plus, on average, the environment has benefitted, too, through lower consumption.

“The flat rate for water is $571 for a single family home, and typically ... that’s dropped to $291,” Townsend said.

Buildings can too often be taken for granted, as we bustle through them either in a hurry to get inside or escape outside.

However, a regional company has been recognizing extraordinary construction projects for the past 25 years. This year, three such buildings in Richmond have received Silver Awards of Excellence by the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA).

Samuel Brighouse elementary school, Aberdeen Square and Richmond Centre Food Court Relocation racked up a total of seven awards — Brighouse and Aberdeen with two each, Richmond Centre with three.

“It’s important to recognize these projects, and they’re usually landmark projects that we’re in and out of every day,” said VRCA interim president Jan Robinson.

The projects will be recognized at the 25th

Annual VRCA Awards of Excellence gala dinner in October, where a Silver Award winner from each category will be chosen as a Gold Award winner.

When deciding on recipients, a project review committee follows certain criteria including whether the projects were delivered on time and on budget, challenges they had to overcome and safety records.

“The quality is important, especially for sustainability,” said Robinson. “I know Brighouse had some great elements.”

Thirty-eight projects entered the awards this year, according to Robinson.

Brighouse received two awards for General Contractor up to $15 Million and Sustainable Construction; Aberdeen Square Expansion for General Contractor over $40 Million and Chairman’s Trade; and Richmond Centre Food Court Relocation for General Contractor $15 TO $40 Million, Electrical Contractor up to $2 Million and Mechanical Contractor up to $3 Million.

Exploiting exotica

T

he horrifying news this weekend about two young boys killed by a pet python that escaped its enclosure raises many questions.

Foremost among them has to be why and how such a dangerous, exotic and undomesticated creature was ever in such a position to begin with.

Ownership of exotic animals is regulated by a patchwork of regulations across the country. In many places, including B.C., such creatures are banned.

It’s not hard to see why. Animals like the African rock python and its ilk are potentially deadly.

They do not make good pets.

Most people would not be equipped to control them. Just how and why such an animal was allowed to exist in a retail store is impossible to fathom.

Of course, just because certain exotic creatures are banned in many jurisdictions doesn’t mean they don’t exist there.

Some animals live a long time, while bans are relatively recent. And almost anything is available online.

Some people are attracted to the idea of a dangerous and uncommon animal — in the same way some social misfits like to channel their attitudes through ownership of vicious dogs.

Nobody has the right, however, to endanger others — or their environment.

Exotics of many types fall into those categories. Those who have them should be subject to stringent controls — and inspections.

It doesn’t take much thought to figure out that animals which must be kept behind double-locked doors don’t belong in a pet store or a private home — or anywhere else remotely similar.

CHOICE WORDS

Political mud’s baked dry The Editor, Re: “Richmond deserves better answers,” Letters, July 26.

I was disappointed to read the recent letter from Ramesh Ranjan, laying various accusations at the feet of our local MLAs John Yap and Teresa Wat. Much like the other opposition parties upset at the result of the May election, Mr. Ranjan is now trying to throw mud drier than Richmond’s ground after a July full of sun.

There’s nothing new or earth-shattering in his claims.

It’s been investigated, publicly reported, and action was taken by the government to fix it.

In fact, it was a key discussion point in the last election — which the BC Liberals won handily.

There’s one other thing that comes to mind here. Mr. Ranjan is on record as recently serving as the communications director for the Richmond-Steveston BC Conservative candidate in the last election.

It’s clear to me he’s trying to re-fight a vote conducted only two months ago.

The voters have spoken.

It’s time to move on.

Weather opportunity to complain The weather is a lot like politics — what you want most is mostly what we don’t have... right now.

We just went through several weeks of some of the hottest, driest weather on record.

In fact, depending on how you measure it (and precisely where you take your measurements), we may just have had the driest July ever in the Lower Mainland. Indeed, not a drop of rain was recorded throughout the entire month in any official recording station in the immediate vicinity.

And Vancouver also broke its previous record for hours of sunshine in July — which I would expect translates to a similar record for the rest of us in the outlying hinterlands.

And let’s be clear about this: the record broken was for the MOST hours of sunshine in a single July — 410 hours of sun peeking from behind previously ubiquitous clouds, veritably smashing the old 409.3-hour mark set in 1985.

Imagine that! Sunny Vancouver! (David Duchovny, eat your heart out!) You’d think such a record would make people happy — ecstatic, even — especially considering that, like Mr. Duchovny (he’s the fellow who had the entire X-Files show transported south to escape our supposedly dreary climes, remem-

ber?) complaining about the incessant rain, rain, rain is one of our favourite pastimes.

In fact, I heard a lot of people were complaining about the hot, hot, hot with no respite — way too hot.

Admittedly, I rarely heard a single complaint about it having been too dry (except from those unfortunates among us — myself included — who depend on groundwater and a dug well for our sustenance and to feed the gardening monkey we carry on our backs).

But the heat? Way too darned hot! Until today.

When I woke up last Friday morning, the first thing that I noticed was that the fan blowing air into my bedroom window, was blowing cool air — almost wintery, by recent standards.

And when I looked out, I rejoiced! There was water falling from the sky — only a little bit, at first, but it picked up momentum, and soon there was a veritable deluge.

The plants in my garden heaved a collective sigh of relief.

The lawn began turning green again, almost imme-

diately.

But when I made my way from the nether reaches of my backyard and into the clutches of civilized company, the story was suddenly different.

Complaints of “way too darned hot” had already reverted to: “Way too darned cold, way too darned wet — why don’t we ever get a real summer around here?”

The very people who had only days earlier vociferously complained of hot, sticky, sweatstained T-shirts and no way to escape from the sun’s harsh ultra-violet rays assaulting us with threats of deadly cancers were now bemoaning the fickle — dreary-again — climate that routinely drenches our landscapes and drowns our dreams of natural tans... which we all avoid when the sun does make its occasional appearance.

There’s no pleasing us.

We are a species of complainers. I said the weather is like politics? Actually, it’s our perception of the weather that is like our perception of politics.

Whatever we have right now isn’t good enough — we want it to be something better, by tomorrow.

And if tomorrow comes with any kind of change... it’s never as good as it was.

Don’t get me wrong — I am not unsympathetic. If he indeed executed a full stop at a “poorly placed” stop sign, I believe the RCMP officer could have exercised discretion and not issued a traffic ticket.

However, as a motorcyclist (and instructor) who rides all year, I am acutely aware of drivers who simply do not see motorcycles and who, among other things, treat stop signs as a suggestion; use yield signs to execute dangerous traffic merges; use signals only when doing so will not interfere with texting and who treat the first three seconds of a red traffic light the same as a green light.

I consider these individuals as “average drivers,” who belong in one of three groups: never learned; have forgotten or simply ignore the rules of the road.

Riding a motorcycle in traffic is an exercise in risk management which can have severe consequences if the risk is not managed appropriately.

Therefore, any driver who does not stop at the correct stop point at an intersection represents a significant hazard to a motorcyclist.

Similarly, if a motorcyclist fails to stop at the correct stop point, they have increased their risk factor significantly.

In B.C., the correct stop point at intersections with stop signs is clearly described in the ICBC handbook Learn to Drive Smart (page 42). The stop sign is simply a “device” that tells a road user that a stop is required at the intersection.

The actual stop point however — as Mr. Kinach found out — is somewhat irrespective of the location of the sign and a “poorly placed” sign, in my opinion, does not absolve driver responsibility to know the correct stop point at an intersection with a stop sign.

The judge (who is most likely an average driver) agreed with Mr. Kinach’s argument and the ticket was “thrown out.”

My concern is the decision could be used to deflect driver responsibility to know and follow the rules of the road regardless of “poorly placed signs.”

For Mr Kinach, I would hope his experience would give him pause to consider a review of the ICBC booklet to possibly avoid a “poorly placed” traffic light or some other “poorly placed” traffic control device that could result in something much more costly than a traffic ticket or legal costs.

Yoga peace before profit The Editor, Re: “Eastern practice, Western form,” News, July 26.

I read with great interest your thoughtful article on yoga in the News.

Participants return to yoga classes again and again, simply because they have experienced for themselves the positive outcomes.

One need not be a scholar of Hinduism to benefit from yoga.

Canadians are delighted to learn the

basics of yoga from our certified yoga instructors hired through the City of Richmond’s department of Parks and Recreation.

Profit margins and trendy fashions are not obvious where I attend classes at Steveston Community Centre.

I assure you, students are not exploited here!

Friday Feature THEATRE

Evading the nets, continuing upstream ‘Salmon Row’s’ life cycle shows no sign of fading, mirrors fate of fish

BY B ENJAMIN Y ONG Special to the News

S

everal decades of Steveston’s fishing history will be condensed into 90 minutes during the theatrical production of Salmon Row. Taking place at the Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site from Aug. 15 to Sept.

1 and first presented by Vancouver-based performance arts company Mortal Coil in 2011, producer and general manager Marietta Kozak calls it a “large scale spectacle piece.”

“It’s our second production using sitespecific spectacle-based techniques. We use masks, puppets, stilts, that kind of large, large scale as opposed to small TV-sized stuff,” said Kozak.

In fact, stilt work was what Mortal Coil mainly started out doing when it was formed in 1991. Now, they are best known for 2008’s interdisciplinary piece Letters from Lithuania staged in Stanley Park, where they also develop and run the Halloween Ghost Train and Christmas Bright Nights events every year.

With Salmon Row, Kozak said people can expect a similar infusion of music and choreography with heavy narrative weaved in.

The show starts off in front of the historic site, then the audience moves along with the cast of 30 actors, dancers and musicians to various iconic areas inside, such as the boardwalk, the Chinese bunkhouse and the Murakami house and boat works.

“The story speaks a lot about what the Europeans did when we first got here,” said Kozak.

“What was interesting to us was the exploiting of resources, and how society builds itself afterwards. It’s the same as the logging industry — exploitation creates complex relationships between the people.

“There is stuff around unions and labour, ethnic politics and what happened when the fish dried up.”

The original run of Salmon Row two years ago sold out in four days, something Kozak attributes to how many groups the performance touches.

From the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, the fishing community in Steveston was home to First Nations, Caucasians, Japanese and Chinese, all of which are represented in the performance.

“People really responded to the stories being told. It was about them, their experiences and about their families. It really spoke to the citizenry.”

The idea first popped onto her radar when someone suggested Britannia as a potential place to develop a production around.

She and husband Peter Hall, who is also Mortal Coil’s co-artistic director, visited the site and “felt it was fantastic.”

After a few meetings with the City of Richmond, the company received the green light and then went on to raise the $250,000 through government grants needed to put everything together.

Kozak said she was thrilled when the city approached her to put on the play for a second time. This year’s remounting remains close to the original with some tightening of the script and all but five of the original cast members returning.

Harwood also became inspired after watching a video and seeing photographs of The Iron Chink at the cannery, the big red machine that replaced Chinese fish butchers, and wrote in a scene where it is represented by an blade-wielding actor dressed in all red.

The rest of her research revolved around touring and meeting with staff at the Britannia Shipyards, digging into books and archives, as well talking to people with ties to that era.

“One woman I interviewed told me a story about her father,” said Harwood.

“She grew up in Steveston and there was one memory about her father never learning to swim who was a Japanese fisherman. He said, ‘There is one inch of cedar between me and hell,’ and we managed to use that line in the show.”

Friday Feature FESTIVAL

Taking a lofty look back in time City to unveil restored Seine Net Loft at fest

BY BENJAMIN YONG Special to the News

This year marks the 10th annual Richmond Maritime Festival taking place at the Britannia Heritage Shipyards from Aug. 9 to 11.

And the City of Richmond has been hard at work restoring the 60-year-old Seine Net Loft on the Britannia property.

Once used in the construction and repair of fishing boat nets — the loft will be officially unveilied to the public, said program facilitator Kimberly Baker.

“We’re doing the Voices of Britannia — the people, the stories and the future. We have a lifeboat that we’ve gotten a canvas cover made for it, and we’re inviting the community to paint on it their thoughts, feelings and impressions of Britannia,” said Baker.

Visitors can wander the 2,000-square-foot building and see the large interactive art installation featuring fishing props and archived pictures.

“There are nets suspended from the ceiling with photographs streaming down of visitors over the years, and the people who lived and worked at Britannia.”

People will also have a chance to learn about the Lubzinski brothers. Jack and Joseph Lubzinski started a marine products company in 1951 making

wooden steering wheels for boats all over the world, and the original equipment they used will be on display.

Fenwick said there will be volunteers on the grounds and in the other buildings telling tales and talking about the history of Britannia, such as how the shipyard building was built in 1889.

“It was originally Britannia Cannery up until basically 1917. There was the Hell’s Gate disaster in 1912 — they were putting in a railroad track and using explosives to get rid of rock and it caused a landslide into the Fraser River. That year, salmon were coming home to spawn and it blocked their path that virtually devastated the area for salmon fishing. Many canneries closed down.”

At the time, the 49 or so canneries that were strewn along the river were repurposed for other industries in 1917.

“They were such great buildings and men could work under covered areas. This one was changed into a shipyard.

The Anglo-British Columbia Packing Company used it to repair their fishing fleet that went out to other areas to fish for species other than salmon.”

You can learn about all this and more at the festival, which includes an appearance from tall ship Lady Washington, running from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. the entire weekend. For more information visit the website or call 604-718-8050.

The annual Maritime Festival is always a colourful and entertaining affair for all ages.

Iron Chink: Battle depicts machine that replaced workers Continued from page 10 all,” said Hall.

A big part of doing so was finding the right cast members. Hall said his company engaged in “colourblind” casting, to honour the various ethnicities that came to work during turbulent times and who continue to work and contribute to the North American economy today.

“We have an array of First Nations from Cree this year and we have a new actress, she’s Inuit. We also have Asian actors that range from Japanese to Korean. We have

Korean playing Chinese, we have Chinese playing Japanese, we have Cree playing Musqueam.”

Integral to the process is also choosing the right music, which is why Hall said Salmon Row features all original music by Canadian composer Tobin Stokes who is known for his work in opera and classical music. He has also composed several scores for television, an experience which will perfectly complement the scenes in the play that “turn on edge and become surreal.”

“Stilt figures appear metaphorically

— we have a martial arts battle with what is familiarly known as the Iron Chink, the machine that replaced Chinese workers,” said Hall.

“We have a character on stilts playing the machine, and he has a battle with two Chinese workers fighting with Chinese swords. That sort of combination of spectacle and text is so the audience never knows what they can expect next.”

He called the Britannia site very “evocative” and allows for organic transitions between the play’s many acts.

At the beginning, people gather just outside the shipyards where they are greeted by a First Nations drum troupe. Weaving through the property, the show eventually ends with a funeral at the Murakami house.

Officially opening on Aug. 16, shows start at 8 p.m. rain or shine at the Britannia Heritage Shipyards at 5180 Westwater Dr. Tickets, $16 for adults, $13 for students/ seniors and $8.50 for children 12 and under, are available at the Gateway Theatre (6500 Gilbert Rd.) or online at www.gatewaytheatre.com.

It’s the one day a year when adults can be kids again and enjoy their very own Pirate Pak! And for each one we sell, we’ll donate $2 to the Zajac Ranch for Children. *Adult Pirate Paks only available on Wednesday, August 14th, 2013 after 11am.

Forget the past with the F-Type

BY MALCOLM GUNN Special to the News

Sir William Lyons would be pleased, but likely per-

plexed at the same time with the arrival of the 2014 FType roadster.

Under his reign, Jaguar’s founder oversaw the cre-

ation of numerous sports machines, culminating with E-Type (marketed as the XKE on our shores), regarded as one of the most spectacularly gorgeous cars ever produced.

The two-place E-Type convertible and its hatchback sibling went on sale in 1961 and enjoyed a 10-year run.

Now, four decades later and 28 years since Sir William’s death, the British automaker’s current minder, India’s Tata Group, has signed off on a fresh roadster.

Anyone expecting an EType renaissance might be disappointed, but Jaguar’s stylists have configured a handsome piece that blends elements of BMW’s Z4, Maserati Cabrio and Mercedes-Benz SL-class convertibles.

The result isn’t E-Type sleek, but its shape is more purposeful, in a Teutonic sort of way. There’s even a Euro-style active rear spoiler of a type pioneered by Porsche and Mercedes-Benz (and others) that deploys once the F-Type has reached 100 km/h, then retracts once the roadster’s speed drops below 65 km/h.

The only real excess is a pair of bulging rear fenders that taper into the rear deck fitted with eye-slit taillights.

When the weather turns bad, the F-Type’s cloth top returns to its latched and locked position in 12 seconds while the vehicle is traveling up to 50 km/h, which of course means you don’t have to completely

come to a stop in the middle of traffic, in the middle of a downpour.

The F-Type’s interior is also a clean-scape design dominated by highly legible speedometer/tachometer dials and a trio of rotary knobs that operates the climate control system.

One neat trick is a set of air vents atop the multifunction touch-screen infotainment unit that pop up when manually activated or whenever the automatic climate system calls for additional heating or cooling.

Finally, the shapely FType seats are based on those installed in the highperformance (and larger) Jaguar XKR-S model and actually don’t require the car’s occupants to be overly svelte to squeeze between the bolsters.

Pushing the start button fires up one of three engines. Base F-Types are fitted with a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 (a derivative of Jaguar’s 5.0-litre V8 and an engine that’s also used in the XJ and XF sedans) that makes a respectable 340 horsepower.

According to Jaguar, it will push the F-Type to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a quick 5.3 seconds.

The F-Type S gets a 380horsepower version of 3.0 that cuts that time to 4.9 seconds. The real performance cat is the F-Type V8S with its supercharged 5.0-litre V8 that delivers 495 horsepower and can reel off zero-to-60mph sprints in a mere 4.3 seconds. see Performance page 19

#5-8671 NO. 1 ROAD (AT FRANCIS) SEAFAIR PLAZA

&#'%#$!#" Continued from page 16 Each powerplant is fitted with an eightspeed automatic transmission that operates with a stubby pistol-grip console-mounted shifter or by the steering-wheel-located paddles.

The transmission also signals the engine to “blip” the throttle (called rev matching) for smoother transitions between gears when downshifting. There are rumors that a sixspeed manual gearbox is not far off, but so far Jaguar is mum on the subject.

Jaguar has always declared war on powerrobbing weight and consequently makes extensive use of aluminum in the F-Type’s construction, including the front and rear suspension. The basic body shell alone tips the scales at a mere 260 kilograms and the entire

car has been kept to about 1,600 kilograms Knowing that sports car owners love those seductive under-hood sounds, Jaguar offers an optional active exhaust system that increases the volume as the revs increase. and directs the melody into the cabin for all to hear.

F-Type pricing starts at $78,300 for the base V6 and spikes into low-six-figure territory for the V8S. At that point, the roadster nearly trips over the base price of Jaguar’s 385-horsepower XK convertible with its larger cockpit.

Ultimately it will be the F-Type’s playful demeanor and exceptional performance that will win over sports car lovers, features that Sir William Lyons would likely have wholeheartedly endorsed.

Richmond Roadrunners at last cracked the podium in three consecutive trips to the Provincial Intermediate “A” Lacrosse Championships, finishing in second place.

SUBMMITED PHGTO

A silver lining season for Roadrunners

Lacrosse team reaches provincial podium for the first time in three trips, falling to Maple Ridge in final Greg Rennie was bang on with his pre-season forecast although it came at the expense of his own team.

Back in May, the head coach of the Richmond Roadrunners predicted the Maple Ridge Burrards would be the team to beat this season in the B.C. Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League. That prognosis became a reality on Monday when the Burrards used home floor advantage to double Richmond 12-6 in the gold medal game.

It was the Roadrunners’ only loss of the B.C. Day Weekend as they opened the tournament with a huge 9-8 win over the Burrards, then clinched a spot in the final with a 7-3 victory over Coquitlam before toppling Victoria 10-5.

The difference in the rematch with Maple Ridge was the second period as the hosts solved standout goalie Ryland Hood and pulled away with seven unanswered goals.

“Maple Ridge is a good team with a lot of talent,” said Rennie.

“It was one of those tough things that just happens and unfortunately it was in a gold medal game.

We hit the post when it was 6-4

and that might have at least swung the momentum. We just couldn’t get any breaks.”

The Roadrunners finished second in the regular season then were extended to a deciding game

CYNTHIA BRADLEY/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Roadrunners fell 12-6 to the Maple Ridge Burrards in Monday’s provincial championship game.

Scallop & Smoked Salmon Fettuccine

in their qualifying series against Langley after a surprising game two loss. The setback, however, served a purpose as the team dominated game three then rolled through round-robin play in provincials.

It was Richmond’s first podium finish in three consecutive appearances at the B.C. championships despite winning regular season titles in 2011 and 2012.

“That Langley series was probably the best thing that could of happened to us,” said Rennie of the playoff wake-up call. “It’s nice to finally come away with a medal although we sure wanted gold.”

Under Rennie, the Roadrunners have a sparkling 48-12 record in three seasons worth of league and playoff action which has led to a lot of speculation he will be returning to the junior “A” coaching ranks next season where he has enjoyed previous success in Delta.

“It’s really up in the air what I am going to do,” said Rennie.

“This is an outstanding organiza-

tion to be part of. I don’t know really how much farther I can take it but I sure would have liked to have gone out with a provincial championship.

“What I’m most proud of is the number of players who have gone through and are now excelling at the next level. That’s the most important thing and why players want to come to Richmond.”

League scoring champion and first team all-star Tyler Vogrig had a hat trick and two assists in the gold medal game. Tavin Grant, Braeden Jensen and Wyatt Kinna also scored.

Josh McLaughlin, Vogrig and Jensen each scored twice in the opening win over the Burrards, while Patrick Szabo earned game MVP honours. Against Coquitlam, McLaughlin’s hat trick earned him the MVP award.

Chandler Bradley was Game MVP against Victoria thanks to his four goal performance. Wyatt Kinna and Tysen Stoddart added two each. Spencer Bromley and Brad Hoffman also scored.

Games.

The competition is held every two years and this edition attracted over 13,500 athletes from 170 nations.

The 18-year-old Stewart was the top all-around athlete on the Canadian team that finished 17th overall.

He placed 42nd in the individual all-around — only

eight spots away from making the final.

For the young athlete it was an excellent result in his pursuit of earning a spot on the Canadian team that is attempting to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil.

After a short two week break, the RGA athletes

have already have started preparation for the upcoming 2013-2014 competitive calendar.
