Richmond student’s lip dub video gets a half-million views by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter It takes viewers through buildings, onto a bus, underwater and high up in a helicopter. And with more than 500,000 views on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpp3quce1Vo), it’s taken Andrew Cohen over the moon. Cohen served as director and executive producer of UBC LipDub—a YouTube video filmed mostly in a single tracking shot and featuring 1,000 people rocking out at the Vancouver campus of University of B.C. “I have been getting an overwhelmingly positive response,” said the Richmond-raised 21-year-old, a fourth-year acting student. “I had no conclusive idea of how this would fare once it was up and out in the world. I’m over the moon.” The lip dub has become a phenomenon sweeping post-secondary institutions around the world, featuring lip-synching participants in outlandish costumes. Filming for the UBC LipDub took place late
last month and Cohen’s team posted the video online Saturday. It features Pink’s “Raise Your Glass,” and “Celebrity Status” from Marianas Trench, a band that also makes a guest appearance on the video. There’s also a horse, a Maserati, unicyclists, scuba divers and an ode to Old Spice’s current ad campaign. Besides its hundreds of thousands of views, it’s also garnered nearly 5,000 comments on YouTube. It took six months to create, with help from a team of people, including co-producer Bijan Ahmadian. “We think our campus is beautiful and we just wanted to showcase that and build some kind of spirit between students and the community,” said Cohen. The video is raising money for the Make a Wish Foundation. Organizers are accepting pledges from corporate sponsors for a specified number of views. Pacific Blue Cross sponsored the first 50,000 views with a penny a view. For more information contact Cohen at andrew@ubclipdub.com.

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Rhetoric attacking a proposed jet fuel pipeline is being fuelled by “misconceptions,” according to the project manager behind the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation plan. Adrian Pollard said other options were studied before the airlines consortium applied for its required environmental assessment
certificate, including city council’s preferred option of upgrading the existing pipeline in North Richmond leading to Burnaby’s Chevron refinery. “The (environmental assessment) process is not designed to evaluate options, it’s designed to evaluate the merits and effects of a proposed project,” said Pollard. Upgrading the existing 1960s-era pipe was a shortlisted option, given its advantages of an existing footprint and deep water access. But Pollard said it’s also 40 kilometres away from the airport. “We don’t have access or control of facilities up there, and again it’s a 40-kilometre pipeline through an urban environment, and we’re looking at three to
four times the complexities to replace it as we are with this project.” Also shadowing the project is a perceived lack of public consultation. But Pollard said mandatory and voluntary open houses have been held, adding his group has always been “open and frank” with the city. “We’re always here to answer questions. To say that we’ve been less than that, in terms of public consultation, to me is a misconception.” City council has twice passed resolutions rejecting the current pipeline plan, which calls for a jet fuel receiving terminal near Riverport and a new 15-kilometre pipeline crossing Lulu Island to the airport.

Consortium offers city a carrot
Martin van den Hemel photo Liberal candidates Joe Peschisolido and Alan Beeslehy want the federal government to halt to the jet fuel pipeline review process that’s currently underway, and for a federal review to be initiated instead.
Liberal candidate calls for jet fuel plan moratorium by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond MP Liberal candidate Joe Peschisolido is calling for Ottawa to put a halt to the jet fuel pipeline review process that’s currently underway, and for a federal review to be initiated instead. At a Wednesday morning press conference, Peschisolido asked for a moratorium and called the current process “flawed.” Peschisolido is concerned about a worst-case scenario that will put locals in harm’s way. “It doesn’t look at the full impact on the quality of life in Richmond and that’s what a federal review would do,” he said. “This proposal makes business sense, and as it stands right now would probably be approved.” In light of the worst-case disaster scenario cur-
rently playing out in Japan following a devastating earthquake-spawned tsunami, Peschisolido said: “My fear is that we would have a disaster, but we need to look at it. The problem with this process is that we just don’t know. He said there’s precedent for Ottawa to take action, referring to the Come By Chance oil refinery proposal in Labrador. Peschisolido said the federal government has abdicated its role in the current review process, leaving it in the hands of the province to decide on the proposal to build a 15-kilometre underground pipeline that would feed jet fuel from a fuel receiving facility in South Richmond. “If elected, I would make that my primary legislative agenda.” Asked if he gets the sense that the current process is a fait accompli and that the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation will simply get
‘Minor’ grease violations found during inspections of city restaurants A bylaw officer dedicated to ensuring restaurants comply with grease disposal rules found “minor, isolated violations,” during 33 recent inspections, according to a new report presented Tuesday at city hall. Most violations involved the keeping of maintenance records, and grease traps are mostly being maintained, according to the bylaws department’s February report. Last month, civic politicians approved a $480,000 repair to a sewer main that became blocked with grease under the Lansdowne Road corridor in City Centre. Restaurants dumping grease down the drain was the likely cause, according to city officials. Richmond staff estimate the annual cost of clearing grease from plugged sewer lines is $300,000. Metro Vancouver spends another $800,000 per year cleaning grease clogs.
its way, Peschisolido agrees. “Given the potential threats of the project, this requires the Government of Canada to take a leadership position,” Peschisolido said. Richmond Conservative MP Alice Wong told The Richmond Review in a previous interview: “For any application like this, the first important thing is to go through the environmental assessment. There are two here right now. One is the provincial, the other is the federal. We want to do our due diligence that it is safe and won’t cause any danger to the residents.” As for whether she supports the plan, Wong said she understands the safety concerns of residents. “We should listen to the people. That’s where I stand,” she said. “And I know the city’s against this, so I think we should do a really good environmental assessment before it can happen.”
School district seek budget input from public by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Residents are invited to give local trustees feedback as the board of education gets set to make its final budget decisions for the 2011-2012 school year. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 18 at 7 p.m. (the incorrect date was published in last weekend’s paper) at R.A. McMath Secondary School in Steveston. Early estimates indicate the board may have up to $2 million in additional revenue from grants to allocate for the
upcoming year. “This meeting will be an opportunity for the public to comment and give feedback before the board makes final budget decisions on May 2, 2011,” Richmond school district superintendent Monica Pamer said in a press release. All members of the public, students, staff and stakeholders are welcome to attend and provide input. A list of suggestions and recommendations from district staff will be available on the district’s website at www.sd38.bc.ca after Friday, April 15.
From Page 1 Richmond East MLA Linda Reid has also come out in opposition of the plan. Project officials will host more open houses, likely three, with two in Richmond and one in Delta, where the pipeline route will be discussed. A pair of earlier open houses in Richmond attracted 50 to 60 people, with mostly the same attendees each time, Pollard said. Last week Coun. Harold Steves suggested the airlines “shirked” a stricter federal environmental review, but Pollard said the current review is a harmonized process that satisfies both provincial and federal requirements. By this fall provincial government ministers will decide whether to grant the project an environmental assessment certificate. If they do, Pollard said his group will then work to secure various other approvals including two from the city: a development permit for a marine terminal and a municipal access agreement for the pipeline. Said Pollard: “We just want to have it on the record that we’re making every effort we can to communicate with the city and give them a better feeling about the project.” In a March 7 letter to the city, the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation offered the city a carrot. It pledged to undertake “an independent third party review of the options originally considered” and said it would seek to build much of the pipeline on CN right-of-way land, most of which would later be transferred to the city. That would minimize the impact of construction and provide the city with a corridor for utilities, recreation and possible transit use, according to the letter. Public comments on the project are being accepted until April 26 at www. eao.gov.bc.ca, or call 250-356-7441 for information.
City rejects Biennale art City council unanimously declined an offer Monday to purchase public art from the Vancouver Biennale. Ratifying an earlier vote, civic politicians rejected the idea of buying works that began to be installed around town in October 2009. In an online survey conducted by city staff, Wind Waves at Garry Point curried the most public favour, but at a cost of up to $800,000 the overwhelming response to the anonymous questionnaire was to avoid buying anything. The pieces will now go up for auction April 30. City council has $650,000 set aside in a public art account, which is funded by developers.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Shelley Civkin shows off her award Tuesday at Richmond Public Library’s Brighouse branch.
Review columnist honoured for weekly book reviews Shelley Civkin honoured by B.C. Library Association by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Shelley Civkin has been honoured by the B.C. Library Association with an award for her weekly book review column in The Richmond Review. Civkin, Richmond Public Library’s communications officer, accepted the first ever Merit Award for Advocacy or Marketing at the association’s 2011 conference, held last weekend at the Victoria Conference Centre. “I’m so excited about this,” said Civkin. “I’m ecstatic.” Civkin has penned more than 670 columns in 13 years for the Review. Each Tuesday new books arrive at the library’s Brighouse branch, and Civkin is among the first to sort through them to pick new titles to read, reviewing one in each Thursday’s Review. “It’s great because I can review anything I want. I’m so lucky that The Review and the library give me the freedom to do that. I just pick books that appeal to me and I think would appeal to others.”
Civkin said she developed a love for reading at age 15 thanks to a Grade 9 teacher who introduced her to authors such as Fritz Perls, Hermann Hesse and Kurt Vonnegut. This August she’ll celebrate 25 years at Richmond Public Library, where she’s served in various capacities, including eight years in her current role. In an interview Tuesday, Civkin said readers who want to talk books stop her all over town—the mall, at the hairdresser, funerals and last week, a restaurant bathroom. “I’m very flattered that a lot of people read it and they stop me and want to talk about books, want to talk about the library.” Romance comes close, but her favourite reads are mysteries. “You like to figure it out. You try and second-guess the author. I like edgeof-your seat thrillers,” she said. The B.C. Library Association also honoured former Richmond Public Library board chair Arlene Yoshikawa with a trustee award and recognized the library’s International Living Room at the O Zone with a Merit Award for Programs and Services. •See Shelley Civkin’s book review on p. 15.
Home invader pleads guilty to aggravated assaults Low-speed police chase followed home invasion by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A 57-year-old Richmond man has pleaded guilty in connection to a violent home invasion last November that ended hours later with a dramatic low-speed police chase on the TransCanada Highway. Bruce William MacDonald entered guilty pleas in Richmond provincial court on Monday to two
counts of aggravated assault, failure to comply with a court order, uttering death threats and breaking and entering. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11. In the early morning hours of Nov. 26, MacDonald broke into a home on the 9300 block of Parksville Drive in West Richmond, where he attacked a man and a woman inside. Both suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. MacDonald fled the scene before police arrived.
Local Mounties sent out an alert that MacDonald might be headed toward Salmon Arm, and were negotiating with him over his cellular phone as he drove down the Trans Canada Highway, at speeds well below the posted limit. He was tracked from overhead by an RCMP helicopter. MacDonald eventually pulled over and was arrested without incident. He is also facing assault and uttering death threat charges in a domestic violence incident from early October.

$12 million facility to reduce airplane noise by Martin van den Hemel
Xiamen to be next sister city by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter A new $12-million facility that will cut the noise residents directly south of the airport endure whenever an airplane engine undergoes maintenance is expected to open this December. Anne Murray, YVR’s vice-president of community and environmental affairs, said Vancouver International Airport will be the first in Canada to build a Ground RunUp Enclosure, described as a state-of-the-art facility designed to minimize noise from engine run-ups that are conducted as part of the regular aircraft maintenance work. The new enclosure, which will funnel noise upward rather than just redirecting it out over the water or elsewhere, has been years in the planning. “Vancouver Airport Authority is committed to managing airport noise, balancing the community’s desire for safe, convenient, 24-hour air travel with urban living,” Murray said. “We have been studying the social, economic and environmental benefits of a (enclosure) for the past three years as part of our comprehensive noise management plan.” The three-sided structure is as tall as a five-story building and built with noise absorbing panels and perforated by several louvered vents for aerodynamic purposes. The new facility will be primarily used between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. According to the airport authority, most noise complaints about engine run-up relate to propeller aircraft, which constitute about two-thirds of run-ups at YVR.
Richmond is entering its third sister city relationship—this time with China. On Tuesday, officials from Richmond and Xiamen signed a letter of intent to enter into a sister city agreement. The move advances the status of the two cities from “friendship” status, which was formalized in 2008. At a ceremony at Richmond City Hall, attended by a delegation from Xiamen, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie characterized the event as a “new milestone” in the relationship between the two cities. “Once the City of Richmond and Xiamen become sister cities we can better promote and develop exchanges and co-operation in culture, education, tourism, science and technology, business and trade, to mention only a few,” he said. Xiamen’s deputy mayor, Cangzhou Zhan, told the crowd through an interpreter that the two cities are in a “honeymoon period.” Xiamen officials will now go through “legal procedures” to get approval for the sister city status from the Chinese government.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Cangzhou Zhan, deputy mayor of Xiamen, China, and Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie sign a letter of intent Tuesday for sister city status.
Once that happens, City of Richmond officials will travel to Xiamen to sign the formal agreement. Xiamen is on the southeast coast of China, with a population of 2.25 million. Shugen Liang, Consul General for the People’s Republic of China in Vancouver, said he hoped the agreement will encourage more visits between populations of the two cities.
“I hope the exchange of peopleto-people visits, the relationship between the two cities will continue to grow, which would also promote the friendship between the people of Canada and China.” Next year Richmond will mark the 45th anniversary of its sister city relationship with Pierrefonds, Que. and its 40th anniversary with its sister city relationship with Wakayama, Japan.
Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project
Extension of Invitation to Comment Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation (Proponent) is proposing to build a new aviation fuel delivery system to serve Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The proposed Project includes a marine terminal and fuel receiving facility located on the south arm of the Fraser River, and a 15 kilometre long underground fuel pipeline connecting the marine terminal, fuel receiving facility and YVR. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. The public comment period commenced February 25, 2011 and was scheduled to end April 11, 2011. However, due to requests to the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) from the public to extend the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed Project, the public comment period has been extended by an additional 15 days. The comment period began on February 25, 2011 and will end on April 26, 2011. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the Application will be considered. The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage
and health – that might result from the Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. The EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: • By Online Form at http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca • By Mail: Jennifer Dessouki Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 • By Fax: Fax: 250-356-6448

A 20-year-old Richmond man was sentenced to two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to selling cocaine to an undercover police officer in Saskatchewan. Taylor McCandless was arrested at a house in Saskatoon, Sask. on March 17 following a dial-a-dope sting by the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Unit, which involved the RCMP and Saskatoon Police Service. Federal Crown prosecutor Craig Neely said McCandless also pled guilty to possession of the proceeds of crime, which amounted to $1,000 in Canadian cash, including the money an undercover officer used to purchase the cocaine a short time earlier. After a joint submission by the Crown and McCandless’s defence lawyer, Chris Lavier, Judge Daryl Labach sentenced McCandless to two years in prison and also handed him a 10year firearms ban. Neely said McCandless has no prior criminal record, and noted that the two-year sentence is consistent with the sentencing range set out by the Saskatoon Court of Appeal. According to a submission to the courts, McCandless came to Saskatoon to make money selling drugs so he could pursue some trades training program at the B.C. Institute of Technology. McCandless was painted as a young man adopted from Chile who came from a family that was stable, was caring, and was quite concerned about where their son was ending up. Some 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, 29 grams of heroin, 21 grams of marijuana and more than 1,650 ecstasy pills were seized by police, and seven people were arrested at the culmination of a three-month investigation.

EDITORIAL: Run hard or get out of the way
T
he clock is ticking and voters face a plethora of choices for the coming May 2 federal election.
Now that the Elections Canada deadline for filing as a candidate has passed, it ought to be a fast and furious campaign with less than three weeks left to go. Yet, come election day, voters could be forgiven if, once again, the familiar names rank high in the polls. After all, the question must be asked—who are these other contenders? And what issues are they prepared to raise, in a mat-
ter of days remaining, to steal the spotlight and earn their Xs on the ballot? We must count ourselves mystified by those candidates in the past who seemed to feel that—to connect in a meaningful way with voters—it’s simply enough to purchase a bundle of signs and leaflets with their name prominent and photo to the fore. Some even seemed to be under the delusion that anonymity and inaccessibility is the best route to success. Campaigning is a tough, costly and time-consuming business of making friends and allies, and, ultimately getting oneself known as somebody worthy of a vote.
Some current candidates started the process weeks—even months—before the ballot was dropped. It could be argued that at least one incumbent has been in constant campaign mode ever since he came to office. This is not the time to sit back with arms crossed, waiting for signs and campaign literature to take effect. The electorate needs and deserves candidates who are willing to identify and address real issues facing people trying to make ends meet, support families and enhance opportunities in our present economy. Opponent-bashing, by itself, will
not be enough. Candidates should seize the initiative and convince us that they are ready and willing to make a difference. What are the candidates’ expectations of their own performance—and of their leaders, for those running in packs? Or are they simply running, with no thought of winning, placing or, even, showing. While odds may be stacked against some, all candidates should be willing and ready to run the race to their fullest ability—or step aside for those who are. Otherwise they are wasting their time—and yours. —Peace Arch News

T
he B.C. legislature is getting set for a spring session from the last week of April through May.
Premier Christy Clark has kept her options open and held her cards close since winning the B.C. Liberal leadership in February. She announced Monday that she is seeking the nomination to fill the seat vacated by Gordon Campbell, with a byelection expected in May. But a byelection would
have had to be called by now to put Clark back on the front bench in time for the start of the spring session. And there are two legislative tasks that won’t wait: passing a $40-billion budget for the fiscal year that has already started, and changing the format and date of the harmonized sales tax referendum that has been announced for June. A spring session must begin with the new premier coaching from the sidelines, but assuming Clark wins in VancouverPoint Grey, it sets up her triumphant return to square off with the new NDP leader in question period before the session ends in early June. A mail-in ballot for the HST referendum will allow several weeks for responses to be sent in. The government now says it will be August before the result is known. Clark has indicated she wants the HST question
decided before a general election is called. Thus a September vote becomes the most likely scenario. The launch of TV ads by both B.C. parties is another sign of election preparations. Any new leader wants to take advantage of a honeymoon period that might be brief, and Clark’s upbeat ads with the tagline “this is just the start” set the tone. NDP leadership candidate John Horgan talks about looking forward to a campaign where he hands out brochures with his picture, not Campbell’s. But the policy-challenged opposition has offered up another attack ad featuring, you guessed it, a picture of Campbell on a cereal box. For the B.C. Liberals, the policy hits keep coming. First it was increasing the minimum wage, and now Clark’s “families first” machine is moving on BC Hydro. Rich Coleman has a
well-earned reputation for getting things done and he has wasted no time since Clark assigned him to the energy file. BC Hydro will continue with its application to raise rates nearly 10 per cent this year, but Coleman has begun a review aimed at paring back that and future increases expected to total 50 per cent by 2016. Coleman quickly determined that delaying the imminent launch of BC Hydro’s smart grid project would be a false economy. Instead, he focused on an expensive seismic upgrade, to the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley. A major upgrade to the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River will likely go ahead, since the reservoir is also the city of Campbell River’s water supply, but Coleman wants BC Hydro to “restate its business case” for that and other big construction projects. The Ruskin project is budgeted at about $800
million and is the type of project that can encounter costly surprises when digging into the dirt. Coleman has directed BC Hydro to look at decommissioning the old dam instead. Did he really “direct” BC Hydro? Here’s what Coleman told me. “It’s still Hydro’s decision at the end of the day I suppose, but certainly they’re going to have to report in to me on it, because I told them they have to.” Coleman has also appointed three senior bureaucrats to find options for savings in BC Hydro’s plan, and to report back to him by the end of June. That will give the government enough time to craft a rate relief program for BC Hydro customers, just in time for September.

Lying was a serious offence, at least up until recently Editor: It is interesting to see how some people forget or choose to forget recent history. A good example of this is Mr. Wade’s letter of April 7 (“Bob Rae’s $300-million election”). He laments the calling of an election and the threat of a minority government. Surely, Mr. Wade has not forgotten the time a decade ago when Paul Martin was leader of a Liberal minority government. Stephen Harper, as leader of the then official opposition was constantly, one might say frantically, trying to force an election. An unnecessary election. Harper eventually succeeded and found he then lead a minority government. Minority governments can work. What is needed is a willingness for the parties to compromise and work together for the benefit of Canada, rather than their own specific agenda. However, this trait is sorely lacking in Canadian politics today. Also, why is Mr. Harper so upset about the possibility of him getting a minority government? Was it not Harper in 2004 that made agreements with the awful NDP and the Block separatists to form a coalition? Yes, it was. He even approached the governor general with a proposal to have his
coalition take over the government without holding an election. An OK route to power for him but not for anyone else. What a hypocrite! My main concern, however, is the slow erosion of our democracy in Canada. We elect a little over 300 members to Parliament as MPs to represent us. Few of them participate in the decision making that sets the course for government. That is done in the Prime Minister’s Office, populated by mostly unelected but publicly funded bureaucrats. The elected members are there to vote as they are told. Caucus solidarity. Also, members have the right to know what purchases the government is making and how much they are spending. It is the taxpayers’ money after all. MPs also have the right to question the government on the activities of its various departments and not to expect that Parliament would be shut down when they don’t like the questions. Members are required to be truthful while in the House. Lying was a serious offence, at least up until recently. Please folks, make the words “We stand on guard for thee” count when you vote. Doug Symons Richmond
Time for city to deal with sidewalk hazards Editor: After reading the letter submitted by Michael Pan (“City needs to fix tight squeeze on sidewalks,” April 9), regarding the narrowing of sidewalks due to poor maintenance of overgrowth, I need to support him in his complaint and add the issues I have in Richmond. I work with people with wheelchairs, as well as seniors that need assistive walking devices. If an able-bodied person has trouble walking down the sidewalks, please put yourself in the place of those who are not so “able-bodied.” There are so many places around town that have these hazards and so little information of how we can report them and have the reports followed up and taken care of. People want to be active participants in their own well-being, but like Michael Pan, it all falls on deaf ears. People of Richmond pay hefty taxes and are treated with great disregard. These seems to be especially true to those that are less able to speak up for themselves. This city ought to be ashamed of the way it is treating its citizens and their safety. Thank you Michael Pan for your letter addressing the issue of the overgrowth on our sidewalks. I hope that the city also looks at broken pavement on many sidewalks, as well as all the garbage cans tossed in the way of wheelchairs after being emptied, the blocked sidewalks (with no alternatives) due to construction. It isn’t like wheelchairs and scooters can just hop on a bus at any given point of obstruction—the buses are good, but the stops aren’t close enough for those needs. With all the workers the city has planting flowers in boulevards, I am sure that if that didn’t happen for one week, but instead have them clear all the overgrowth on sidewalks, then the issue could be cleared up very quickly.

VOLUNTEERS: Vital to Richmond “Volunteers are not paid – not because they have no value but because what they do is priceless.” This quote captures the spirit of volunteerism in Richmond. April 10-16 is Volunteer Week in Richmond. Our City has always enjoyed a very strong network of committed volunteers working individually, through service organizations or through employment. For example, hundreds of residents volunteered last year during the Winter Olympic Games. Hundreds more volunteer regularly to assist families, youth and seniors. Volunteers come from all age groups – from kids to seniors. How could we enjoy the Steveston Salmon Festival, the Gateway Theatre, the community centres or hundreds of events without our dynamic volunteers? The benefits of volunteerism are incalculable and include:

We need to vote for those we can trust Editor: I very much appreciated reading Alice Wong and Michael Wolfe’s political platforms. They were both very open, forthright and drew my trust as I read about them. Alice is articulate, and ventured into an area that desperately needs a courageous politician to address crime and human smuggling and those who would take advantage and abuse our refugee system. It is one thing to allow immigrants into
Canada, but we also need watch dogs to oversee how they treat their new country. She was also able to tell us what she has accomplished and carried out her promises. Politicians full of promises don’t always carry out those intentions. We need to vote for those we can trust, who have stellar character, to carry out weighty matters. Michael Wolfe has steadily and faithfully been an open book, clearly telling us from year to year his
concerns and hits the nail on the head of the issues he chooses to address. I can believe that he will be one that will listen to the voice of the people which could be a breath of fresh air. I can see him become our new mayor in time. As Winston Churchill declared, “never give up.” They didn’t denigrate other politicians. I wish them both well. Esther McIlveen Richmond
Editor: I will not be voting Conservative in large part because of the Conservative Party’s attack ads on TV— especially since these ads have been on TV since before the federal election had become a certainty! Of course, the Conservative Party might have earned my vote—and trust—had the sole purpose of their TV ads been to inform me about its record and platform. Janet Oakes Richmond

Report Cards Shouldn’t Be a Source of Stress!
Fortunately, a report card serves as only a single snapshot of a child’s progress up to a given point and does not offer the complete picture of a child’s potential. Seema Ahluwalia of Oxford Learning Centre in Richmond recommends that parents consider their child’s report card as an indicator of things to come. If there are any issues with poor grades, take action now. “Parents need to remember that there is plenty of time now and even during the summer to get back on track,” says Seema. Founded in 1984, Oxford Learning uses innovative approaches to learning that have helped thousands of stu students to reach their educational goals. Customized programs based on the science of cog cognitive development help children to develop the skills that they need to succeed in school wh e. while they develop the conÀdence that they need to succeed in life.
Do you have questions about your child’s report card? Parents can contact Oxford Learning Centre at 604-233-5566 for more information. They can also visit the centre at 200 – 7380 Westminster Hwy (near Minoru) for wonderful tips and programs to help their kids achieve their goals.

Your child’s report card is an important indicator of his or her progress at school this year, but along with it may come surprising and even unwelcome news. Poor grades are a source of stress and worry for parents, and to add to this, changing expectations and reporting standards mean that report cards are often Àlled with comments that parents Ànd difÀcult to interpret.

found parallels to humans—that we all do things connected to other generations of our families. And so the Toronto artist hatched Homage to the Heart, an art exhibition at Richmond Art Gallery where she explores family history and the threads that connect generations. She worked from family and archival images and stories told to her by her dad and aunt to recount her family’s history, from immigration from China to early life in Canada. Much of that history is physically tied to the family business—a hand laundry service in Oshawa, Ont. Through silkscreen prints and video, the exhibition is packed with narratives of the experiences many new immigrants shared. The work also speaks of survival, joy and the strength of the heart. Lem, a third generation Chinese-Canadian, said another personal story helped guide her work. She once had a neighbour who raised five girls in a small house. “I remember once she said, ‘With each of my daughters when they hit the age of four I found emotionally, it was very difficult to be with them.’ I was really surprised because I could see no indication of that.” Her neighbour came from a First

ask dad about the past because it was too painful. But Lem found when he would see photos, he’d just start talking. “So in the ’90s, I started to do artwork with photos, because I found it really allowed my father to speak about things that he kept inside for a long time.” Lem went through an “emotional transformation” in creating the work, which also served as an eye-opening history lesson. “I’ve always felt I didn’t know a lot about history, but to do personal work is a good way for me to understand history more.”
The Forbidden Phoenix packs a powerful punch by Matthew Hoekstra Theatre Review
I
f Gateway Theatre would feed its audiences grapes and cool them with palm branches, The Forbidden Phoenix experience would be complete. A lovely story, colourful and engaging presentation, solid acting and even a o-no-you-dit-ten moment make this East-West musical a don’t miss. It starts full throttle, with dancing, acrobatics, martial arts and a sweet introduction from Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King. Crossing the powerful Empress Dowager in China, he’s banished to the West and is forced to leave his son behind. In this new land, the Monkey King gets work from Horne, an engineer

determined to blast through a mountain to free the Iron Dragon that’s trapped inside. The Monkey King befriends the Phoenix, the mountain’s protector and Horne’s menacing foe. Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager has brainwashed the Monkey King’s son. This is good versus evil where the overriding question is whether the Monkey King will ever feel the love of his son again. And the dragon? It’s shocking. Created in the spirit of a traditional Chinese dragon, but with much more ’60s Star Trek flair, it comes onto the stage with Horne fawning over its presence. So he busts out a sensual rap song, “Let me be
your engineer.” Hilarious. This isn’t Peking Opera, or a Broadway musical. It’s a whole different theatrical experience for Gateway. It works not just because it’s different, but that it’s so well done. Robert Walsh’s music fits perfectly with the show, offering a nice package of Chinese and Western sounds. In many ways the music carried the show—with beats shuffling characters around and likably melodies between. As the Monkey King, Michael Dufays sparkles. Grace Fatkin (the Empress Dowager) and Damon Calderwood (Horne) are standouts, as is Kazumi Evans (Phoenix), who brings a wonderful voice to the show. Marty Chan’s script had potential to confuse, but didn’t. A sparse set, Tim Matheson photo complete with subtle Chinese sub- Damon Calderwood, playing the role of Horne, meets the Iron Dragon in titles, is all this sharp story needs.

Richmond author presents vignettes from the vine
GRAND OPENING

n an attempt to make beef taste better, some B.C. farmers are giving their cattle wine on a regular basis. What’s more surprising? Local chefs are backing up their claims. So says three-time book author Nicholas Flavov. The story is just one of 30 in the 69-year-old Richmond resident’s third book Wine Tales. The book features a series of littleknown historical snippets about the world’s oldest alcoholic drink. The life-long vineyard worker came to B.C. 32 years ago to live by the ocean, and he quickly realized the province’s potential for grapegrowing. “In B.C., it’s dry in the summer, there’s good soil and lots of sun,” he said. Flavov wasn’t the only person who shared those thoughts, the local industry started booming 10 years ago—and the idea for his book was born. Flavov started collecting any historical data he could on wine from libraries with his wife and coauthor Irina Florov. He said wine has a sophistication more crude forms of liquor can only hope to aspire. To that end, Flavov wants his book to catch the attention of wine enthusiasts across B.C. “It’s still a specific public that likes wine,” he said. “It’s part of a higher taste.” The author sculpts, builds wooden

He considers writing to be merely a side-effect of his historical familiarity. “History’s my hobby,” he said. Flavov specializes in history from 5th century BC to the 15th century. That period of time fascinates him. “The eastern part of Europe influenced the western,” he said.
His previous book, The 3000-YearOld Hat, focuses on the Roman god of fertility, Bacchus, and the different interpretations people had; for example, Bacchus is commonly known as the god of wine. Those interested can purchase a copy of the book at www. winetakesthebook.com.

REVIEW: Room by Emma Donoghue

s bragging gauche? If so, then I’ll just have to suffer the consequences. It’s just too hard to hold all this excitement in. This past weekend, Richmond Public Library won the B.C. Library Association Merit Award for Advocacy or Marketing for my book
review column in The Richmond Review. I keep thinking of it as my award, but of course, if it weren’t for the library and the newspaper, I wouldn’t be writing it at all. I’d have 500 extra words bubbling up inside me, all dressed up with nowhere to go. So, the award will reside on Richmond Public Library’s hallowed walls, not mine. But I can have visitation rights any time I want. OK, bragging time is over. It’s review time. In case you haven’t heard, Room by Emma Donoghue is a stunning novel. For seven years Ma has been held captive by Old Nick, a psychopath who abducted her at age 19. Two years into her ordeal she gave birth to Jack, and the only world he knows is the

11-foot-by-11-foot shed they live in. To Jack, reality = Room plus the characters he sees on TV. He has no idea what fresh air feels like, or the sensation of grass on bare feet. He’s never been in a car or climbed stairs. Yet, his innocence and imagination along with Ma’s patience and love get them through this daily nightmare called life. See Page 16

how determination can triumph over all odds. Surrounded by little more than the bare necessities, and at the constant mercy of Old Nick, Ma rises to the challenge of survival each and every day. Even though it’s a work of fiction, Room reminds us that people really can get used to anything in life. Sure to capture the hearts of everyone who reads it, this phenomenal novel shouldn’t be missed. It’s not always easy reading, but it’s sure worth the ride.

From Page 15 Ma describes their existence like this, so Jack can understand: “We’re like people in a book, and he (Old Nick) won’t let anybody else read it.” Despite the terror of their situation, Ma’s intense love for Jack is what keeps her from going crazy. She teaches him how to read, plays games with him, and protects him from Old Nick with the fierceness of a mother bear. So strong is her protective instinct, that she makes Jack sleep in the wardrobe, so he won’t have to see Old Nick, whose nightly “visits” are nightmares unto themselves. Told through the voice of five-year-old Jack, this powerful novel pits the darkest, most heinous elements of human nature against the herculean strength of a mother’s love, and shows us

y pantry is lined with glass jars filled with an assortment of grains.
To cook teff, rinse in a fine sieve (remember its name means lost for a reason), and cook three parts water to one part teff until water is absorbed. It can then be sweetened with fruit or honey and eaten as a breakfast porridge or served with spicy foods or roasted root vegetables. Ground into flour, teff can be used to make cookies or muffins. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gluten-free. Farro, aka emmer, is a 10,000-year-old member of the wheat family. Popular in the Mediterranean, this high-protein grain tastes nutty and has a chewy texture. Make the risotto-like â&#x20AC;&#x153;farrottoâ&#x20AC;? with the riceshaped kernels.
Amaranth was at one time sacred to the Aztecs. The tiny, gold, black-flecked seeds of the amaranth plant are high in protein, calcium, and fibre. They taste grassy and slightly peppery with a crunchy texture. Typically, amaranth is cooked into a porridge (one part amaranth to three parts water and cook for 20 minutes) with added honey and fruit. Ground into a flour, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used in pancakes, cookies, and breads. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also glutenfree. Millet is a small, round, yellow seed commonly used as bird feed in North America. In Africa and its native Asia, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eaten daily. See Page 18

Food for Thought
Seems Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve unconsciously changed my diet by substituting grains for red meat. I still love a rib eye or New York steak, but at home, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m cooking with teff, farro, amaranth, millet, bulgur, wheat berries, quinoa and kamut. Teff may be the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smallest grain (teff means â&#x20AC;&#x153;lostâ&#x20AC;? in Amharic), but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s packed with nutrients, high in protein, iron, calcium, and contains all eight amino acids (the building blocks of the human body). Native to Africa, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used by Ethiopians to make injera, a type of flatbread. Teff flavor is reminiscent of hazelnuts.

From Page 17 Toast millet before cooking to get the best creamy mild flavour. Then cook like rice (one part millet to three cups water or broth and cook for 20 minutes). Makes a light fluffy pilaf that goes well with spicy foods or rich ingredients such as butter, cheese, and eggs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of protein and rich in iron, B vitamins, and several minerals. Bulgur is a whole-grain wheat that has been parboiled, dried, and cracked. Replace flavourful bulgur for ground beef in chili, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know. Bulgur cooks in 25 to 30 minutes. Wheat berries can be boiled in less than an hour and can be tossed in a salad. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) has gained more in popularity than the other grains, and is known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mother grainâ&#x20AC;? of the Incan empire, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really a grain. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small flat seed thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent source of protein, iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, and vitamin E. Quinoa comes in black, red, and
ivory and has a sweet, nutty taste. Rinse before cooking to remove any remnants of the bitter coating and then cook one part quinoa to two parts water for 15 to 20 minutes. Quinoa is extremely versatileâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hot or cold, added to soups, salads, or on its own. It makes a perfect first food for infants. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glutenfree. Kamut tops the charts in nutrition compared to other grains. It has a rich buttery flavor and is perfect as a pilaf, in soups, salads, stir-fries, or as a cereal. Soak overnight, then cook one part kamut to four parts water for 40 minutes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given you the basics on these grains (and seeds) and invite you to explore the world of grains.

A few at first, and soon many more. And they continue to come today. Now in its 50th anniversary season, the Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club boasts a membership in the thousands. It all began in 1961 when two Canadian Olympians, Dr. Doug Clement and his wife Diane, were asked by staff in the city’s parks and recreation department to form a track and field club. The Clements had just settled in the township (better known then as Lulu Island) of 43,000 residents where Doug began practising medicine. “We’ll build you a track if you start a club,” Diane said at a banquet Friday celebrating the club’s golden anniversay. (Diane (nee Matheson) competed as a sprinter for Canada at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics at the age of 20). It was a simple chalk track at first, then eventually a cinder track and finally an all-weather track. For the first few years a handful of elementary and high school kids trained on the grassy overgrown remnants of an old horse racing track as the Richmond Track and Field Club. But with the completion of a cinder track in 1963 the club began to take shape. An athlete’s relative on the Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) came up with a symbol for the club which he called kajak—in reality a seahawk. By 1968 the Kajaks had its first Olympic athlete. Anne Covell did not win a medal in Mexico, but she set a new Canadian record in the women’s 400 metres and helped establish the Kajaks as a force to reckon with. Thirty-eight future Kajaks would follow suit as future Olympians, led by five-time Olympian Charmaine Crooks who was a silver medallist in the 4x400-metre relay at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. In 1996 she had the honour of being Canada’s flag bearer in the opening ceremonies of the Atlanta Olympics. But for all the international, national and regional success enjoyed by club members, Doug is most proud that the Kajaks are a family. “I can tell you all the coaches of the club are proud of every member for doing their best,” said Doug, who represented Canada in the 1952 (Helsinki) and 1956 (Melbourne) Olympics, the latter in the mile. “One of the most important things about this sport and others that should be recognized is reaching your own potential. We need to cel-

“One of the most important things about this sport and others that should be recognized is reaching your own potential. We need to celebrate that fact.” - Doug Clement ebrate that fact,” he said. Kajak athletes, young and old, are quick to recognize the ongoing support and passion the Clements continue to show them and track and field at large.
“We all know Doug and Diane built a great track and field club, but at the end of the day they have built a family,” said Crooks. “As athletes we’ve shared so many ups and downs, but on behalf of all the athletes I want to say how grateful we are for their mentorship and love. “ Dave Semple, who grew up in Richmond during the Kajaks’ formative years and became manager of parks and leisure services, said the Kajaks symbolize spirit. “As a city we provided a base and the club grew athletes,” he said. “This is how you build a community.” Like so many of the club’s volunteer coaches through the years,
Mosley Jack joined the Kajaks because of his children who showed an exceptional interest and ability in the sport. Thirty-two years later he’s still coaching along with his son Byron. The 1980s was a particularly interesting period in the Kajaks’ history, culminating in 1988 when seven of the club’s athletes competed at the Seoul Olympics. Middle distance runner Simon Hoogewerf was among them. “We were all dedicated to excellence at whatever level we wanted to be at, whether you were trying to make a national championship or become an Olympic medallist. This was the place to come,” he said. “There was a huge critcal mass of

athletes and coaches with the same goal and we all pushed ourselves and each other.” Lynn Kanuka Williams simply has to close her eyes to relive her days as a Kajak. “On a Tuesday we’d be coming from many parts of the Lower Mainland for practice, anxious to get there and start on time,” she said. “Once we got there we’d break into our respective groups but there’d be 80 or 100 athletes or more out there training. Our little group raced around the world together but there was no place like home. This was where we got the job done, every time inspiring one another and feeling that energy and passion.” See Page 20

Artful Community Building By Kevin Ronaghan
Frank Xiao moved to Canada from Shanghai more than 20 years ago, and his volunteer efforts are driven by a desire to give back to his adopted country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada has given me a lot,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I very much appreciate my new life here, and think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important I make a contribution to build a better community.â&#x20AC;? Frank has worked with RBC Royal Bank since 1999, and is currently a Senior Account Manager with the company. In the past nine years, he has participated in a variety of charitable fundraising events in the Lower Mainland, including those for the B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, United Way and S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation (Walk with the Dragon). A recent highlight of his community involvement was being a Torchbearer for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games torch relay.

Athletes challenged themselves and each other From Page 19
Striving for another shot at Olympic glory in 2012 in London, Jennifer Joyce also has fond memories of training with the Kajaks. Originally a track athlete, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before she found herself competing in the ďŹ eld eventsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thanks to coach Richard Collier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was walking to sprint practice one day and Richard kind of yelled at me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where are you going, come and try ďŹ eld,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was too afraid to say no. The next day I was by again and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, you came back. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the heart to say no.â&#x20AC;? Thus began one of the most successful careers ever by a Canadian woman in the hammer throw. From 1997 to 1999 she won three national junior titles and later became a four-time qualiďŹ er for the NCAA championships, placing as high as fourth. In 2005 she qualiďŹ ed for the world championships and set a national record throw of 68.48 metres. In 2009 she won the Canadian championships and became just the second Canadian to surpass 70 metres with a personal best throw of 70.35 me-
â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Going to practice) was the only place I could go where my parents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where are you going or who are you going with?â&#x20AC;? - Jennifer Joyce tres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Going to practice) was the only place I could go where my parents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where are you going or who are you going with?,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Joyce. Ryan Hayden spent most of his formative years as a Kajak, three times becoming Canadian champion at 1,500 metres. He later ďŹ nished fourth in the 1,500 metres at the NCAA championships and broke the four-minute barrier for the mile. He was the third-place ďŹ nisher at the 2000 Canadian Olympic trials. He displays his fondness for the Kajaks and loyalty to the club in the form a tattoo on his upper back.

Hopwood helps lift Mastadons to record win Behind a 17-run opening-game outburst, the Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne Mastodons split a weekday women’s softball doubleheader with the Toledo Rockets Tuesday, winning the opener 17-1 before falling in the nightcap 5-1. The 17 runs are a school Division I record, as Cassie Wolfe led the way in the opener by going 2-for-2 with two home runs, five RBI and
three runs scored. Kristina Karpun was 1-for-2 with a first-inning grand slam, as Kirsten Rohn and Richmond’s Sara Hopwood each drove in three. Wolfe was joined by Rachel Staschuk, as the pair each had three runs scored, as 10 different Mastodon players crossed the plate in the lopsided win. After a 1-2-3 top of the first inning in the opener, IPFW saw its first three
batters reach base on a double to center field, and a pair of walks, before Karpun took the second pitch she saw and put it over the fence in center field, giving her the 100th, 101st, 102nd, and 103rd RBI of her career, now tied for the 15th most in Summit League history, while the home run total ties for eighth on the all-time League list.

Wong remembered as teams raise $2,400 for charity In the world of female hockey, Samantha Marian Wong stood out. For all the right reasons. No one loved the game or was more dedicated to it—as a player, coach and builder. Last Sunday, more than 500 family, friends and colleagues paid tribute to Wong by helping to raise $2,400 for charity through a memorial hockey game in her honour at Minoru Arenas. Proceeds—including the donation of officials’ fees, 50/50 and raffle draws and the support of the City of Richmond’s arena services—will be shared by the B.C. Lupus Society and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. Monies forwarded to the B.C. Lupus Society will help the agency bring further
awareness and education to a relatively unknown autoimmune disease that attacks the body’s cels and tissue. Wong lost her battle Feb. 6 with the disease which occurs nine times more often in women than in men. After playing several seasons of minor hockey, Wong graduated to the Vancouver Griffins of the National Women’s Hockey League and later assisted in developing female hockey in Hong Kong. In addition, she was selected by VANOC as a team host for China’s women’s ice hockey team during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Last September, Wong’s passion for hockey led her to take on an assistant coaching role for the Rich-
mond Devils Senior AA team, which played to a 3-3 in last weekend’s charity game versus the Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Midget AA club. Devils’ head coach Dav Szeto remembers Wong as “a key member of the coaching group and instrumental in helping the team set the coaching direction and player selection” in the team’s inaugural season. “Her professionalism and dedication to the team will be missed, but each one of us will always carry a piece of her in our hearts,” said Szeto. “She was a very positive influence to me and the team, and the energy she put into the team will be carried dthrough the players. We are all much better for that.”

U-18 Selects step closer to goal Richmond United U-18 Selects advanced to the next round of the Coastal Cup with a 3 -0 win over Surrey Guildford United last Sunday. Goals by Bryan Fong, Jason James and Emile Saimovici assured a spot
for the league champions to next weekend’s semi final of the Coastal Cup to be played at 11 a.m. at Hugh Boyd Park. Michael Darnell earned his fourth clean sheet of the year with help from very strong defensive
showing from the back line. Next weekend’s game should be a competitive match, predicts Richmond coach John Gattens, as Richmond was followed by Abbotsford with the lowest goals against in
this year’s B.C. Boys’ Select Soccer League. The winner goes on to the Coastal Cup to face either North Vancouver or Burnaby in the final May 1 at Minoru Park.

> The Earthquake Relief Concert for New Zealand and Japan
Concert helps earthquake victims
I
t was a reflex for Sonya Avelino to want to help two countries that were devastated by earthquakes. Out of that reflex came the Earthquake Relief Concert for New Zealand and Japan, held at Fraserview Church last Saturday. The concert drew in over 150 people, and raised $2,845, Around Town which Amanda Oye will be split between the New Zealand and Japan relief efforts. “This was really close to my heart because I was originally from New Zealand,” Avelino said. “Even though I live in Canada I still have one foot there.” Her friend Cherelle Jardine helped out by co-ordinating the music, which included six acts and all types of performances from Brazilian-style guitar songs, to modern-day covers. “It was really a team effort … there is no way one single person can do something like this on their own,” according to Avelino. The event had a 50/50 draw, door prizes and donated gift baskets to raffle off. Bud Sakamoto, who is in charge of a fund that is going through Steveston’s sister city Wakayama to help Onagawa, helped out by selling tickets with a group of volunteers. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Review. Reach her at amanda.oye@ telus.net.

Kia’s compact people hauler
Crossover still a bestseller for Nissan
Rondo seats up to seven

he Rogue has been a bestseller for Nissan since its debut in 2008.
Special to Black Press
That year it earned top honours in the SUV/CUV under $35,000 category in the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s Car of the Year testing. Nissan Rogue SV AWD For 2011, the compact Rogue crossover has a refreshed exterior, BODY STYLE: five-door cominterior refinements, more available pact crossover utility vehicle technology and another model choice. DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, No wonder Nissan expects frontor all-wheel-drive continued success for the Rogue, ENGINE: 2.5-litre 16-valve which experienced a sales jump of DOHC four-cylinder engine (170 19 per cent last year compared to the hp, 175 lb/ft of torque) previous year. FUEL ECONOMY: 9.3L/100 km With sales of 13,199 units in 2010, (30 mpg) city, 7.7L/100km (37 the Rogue was the seventh bestselling vehicle among small SUV/CUV mpg) highway PRICE: Rogue S FWD $23,648, offerings in the country. (Topping the AWD $26,448; Rogue SV FWD sales charts is the Ford Escape with sales of 43,038 units.) With about 23 $26,548, AWD $28,548; Rogue different models in the segment, it is SL AWD $33,848. As tested certainly one of the most competitive $32,193 including $1,560 freight in the marketplace. and PDI For 2011, the Rogue is available in WEB SITE: www.nissan.ca three model choices—the Rogue S, Rogue SV and the new Rogue SL, which is offered in all-wheel-drive (AWD) only. The S and SV come in front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD. Power comes in the form of a 2.5-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder engine, making 170 hp and 175 lb/ft of torque. It is mated with an Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and comes with safety features such as four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Nissan’s version of stability control called Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and traction control. The front-engine, front-wheel drive Rogue seats five. What sets it apart in the marketplace is its aggressive styling. It’s not a mini Nissan Murano, but the Murano DNA is certainly all over it.

The Rogue has undergone a mid-cycle refresh for 2011 with a few tweaks in exterior styling through the use of more chrome and front and rear spoilers.
A
long with the previous generation Sportage, the Rondo CUV was one of the first signs that Kia was starting to emerge with its own identity from under the wing of big brother, Hyundai. My first encounter was in 2006 when I drove the Rondo that was badged as a 2007 model. Kia calls it a CUV but, to me, it’s really a station wagon. What continues to stand out was how Kia got three rows of seats in a car with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm (106.3 in) and a length of 4,545 mm (178.9 in). Like the Mazda 5, the third row can be used literally in a pinch. And cargo volume is a whole lot more than you’d believe from standing on the outside. With the second and third row folded flat there is 2,083 litres. With second row up and the third row flat, which is how the Rondo would be most of the time, there is 898 litres. And if you’ve got seven passengers, there is still 185 litres available. Conceived before the arrival of Kia’s new chief designer, Peter Schreyer, the Rondo echoed the styling trend of the day towards blandness. Funny thing though, even if they don’t really stand out, you don’t realize how many are on the road until you’re driving one. One of the reasons why there is so much interior room is because the Rondo is tall for a compact CUV but that translates into welcome headroom. And because of the slighter higher stance than sedans, the driver gets a better view ahead. Except for the Premium models that have full leather, Kia uses cloth for the seats with available

heating as on the EX-V6 as tested here. Seven seats are standard on all but the base LX model which has no third row. There are two engines and transmissions available. The LX, EX and EX Premium are equipped with a 2.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder producing 175

hp and 169 lb/ft of torque sending power to the front wheels through a four-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. The EX-V6 (as tested) and EX-V6 Premium come with a 2.7-litre DOHC V6 making 192 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque. The transmission here is a five-speed Steptronic automatic driving the front wheels. Fuel consumption ratings on the 2.4-litre are 10.6/7.5L/100 km (27/38 mpg) city/highway and 11.5/7.7L/100 km (25/37 mpg) city/highway for the V6. By trim, the Rondo prices are: LX, $19,995; EX, $22,795; EX Premium, $25,095; EX-V6, $23,895; EX-V6 Luxury, $27,195. The EX-V6 as tested here had no options. With the $1,650 shipping fee and air tax, the grand total was $25,795. Like all Kias, even the base model is equipped with power locks/windows/mirror, Bluetooth connectivity and rear window washer/wiper. In terms of safety, the Rondo is fully equipped with six airbags, front active headrests, four-wheel discs (no drums) with ABS and traction control plus electronic stability control. While it may not have standout styling, the Kia Rondo is nonetheless a very capable vehicle for a big family on a small budget.

Toyota 4Runner still fresh Lincoln MKX excels in all premium mid-size CUV facets from last year’s changes by Rob Beintema
by Jim Robinson
Special to Black Press
Special to Black Press
T
he Toyota 4Runner is one of the originals, debuting in 1984, really nothing more than a pickup with a fiberglass shell dropped over the cargo bed.
I
remember a few years ago asking the president of another domestic car company if he could name the six models in the Lincoln lineup and the best he could do was four. Sadly Lincoln languished for years until Ford, sensing what was coming with the fiscal meltdown in 2009, pulled up its corporate socks. That good timing resulted in what we now see as great new offerings like the Fiesta and Focus in the pipeline just as the collapse hit, crippling the other domestics. Helping carry Ford through the crisis were its two excellent CUVs, the Ford Edge and the Lincoln MKX. With Ford now setting sales records and riding high in the esteem of consumers comes the 2011 Lincoln MKX with so many improvements, it’s like a whole new model. Now standard on the MKX is a 3.7-litre V6 with variable valve timing producing 305 hp, 40 more hp than the V6 it replaces while torque is increased to 280 lb/ft, 12 per cent more than the outgoing V6. Even with standard all-wheeldrive, which normally saps some fuel economy, Lincoln claims best in segment mileage of 12.2/8.8L/100 km (19/26 mpg) city/highway. Ford’s smooth-shifting SelectShift six-speed automatic is
Lincoln’s made-in-Canada 2011 MKX premium mid-size CUV comes with a number of enhancements for 2011 with all-wheel-drive standard.
standard and allows for manual shifting when required for either poor conditions or towing. Standard on the MKX, AdvanceTrac also incorporates Roll Stability Control as well for hill start assist, anti-lock brakes and tire pressure monitoring. A safety feature one normally doesn’t think about is Adaptive Cruise Control that Lincoln makes optional on the MKX. It lets the driver select one of four gaps between the MKX and the vehicle ahead. At 100 km/h for example, the gaps are 28 metres (sporty driving), 42 or 53 metres (normal driving) and 64 metres (comfort driving). Radar sensors in the grille track the vehicle ahead so when it slows, the MKX slows. When the car ahead picks up speed so does the MKX. Whether the system in on or not, there is a fall back collision warning with brake support. If the system senses an impending crash, a chime starts sound-
Lincoln MKX 2011 BODY STYLE: Premium mid-size CUV. DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, all-wheel drive. ENGINE: 3.7-litre V6 (305 hp, 280 lb/ft). FUEL ECONOMY: 12.2/8.8L/100 km (23/32 mpg) city/highway TOW RATING: 1,588 kg (3,500 lb) with optional tow package PRICE: $46,500, as tested, $54,380 including $1,450 shipping fee WEBSITE: www.lincolncanada.com
ing and a red light flashes on the heads up display. If you don’t hit the brakes right away, the system knows it and pressurizes brake pressure so it will be fully charged when the driver does react. I tried the adaptive cruise on a trip to pick up my son from college and bring him home for the weekend. Traffic was light so I left it on 42 metres “normal” and just sat back. A couple of times I came up to a slower car and the MKX did, indeed, slow. Nonetheless, I still have trouble giving my full trust to these systems, so I eventually turned it off. But what I did like on the trip was the optional “blind spot information system.” On the outside of each exterior mirror is an orange warning light that illuminates each time a vehicle enters the blind spot area on either side of the MXK. The system includes another goodie called cross-traffic alert. When backing up, the radar sensors somehow can detect a car approaching on either side from as far as 13 metres away. If something is coming there is an audible warning along with a message centre alert and a visual display on the corresponding mirror. Talk about having your rear covered!
But it evolved quickly into a competent midsize SUV that has found a home with more than 100,000 Canadian drivers over the years. There have been a few other modifications for 2011, minor changes to upgrade package contents and to exterior and interior colour choices. And all models also now have folding headrests on the second row seats. But, for the most part, the 2011 4Runner carries over this year, still fresh from the major model changes that were made for 2010. The new fifth generation 4Runner that debuted last year is taller, wider, longer, more fuel efficient, more powerful, stands on bigger wheels, and has been packed with more technologies and amenities than its predecessor. Designed to fit between the Highlander crossover and Toyota’s retro-inspired FJ Cruiser off-roader, the 4Runner shrugs off the modern trend towards car-based crossover construction and stays true to its trucking roots with ladder on frame construction and true, truck-like offroad abilities. That attitude is reflected in the 4Runner’s aggressive stance, accented by bigger shoulders, muscular fender flares, rugged new bumpers, a standard roof-mounted spoiler, along with refreshed headlamp and taillight assemblies. Under the hood, a standard onechoice 4.0-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 engine makes 270 hp at 5600 rpm and 278 lb/ft of torque at 4400 rpm. Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), along with refined engine management not only increased power by 34 hp over the previous engine, it also improved gas mileage. Let’s not forget the 4Runner’s accent on truck-like toughness, utility and real offroad prowess. Engine
The 2011 Toyota 4Runner offers improved cargo carrying ability this year.
Toyota 4Runner BODY STYLE: Mid-size, five- or seven-passenger SUV. DRIVE METHOD: front engine, fourwheel drive. ENGINE: 4.0-litre DOHC V6 (270 hp, 278 lb/ft). FUEL ECONOMY: 12.6/9.2L/100km (city/hwy). TOW RATING: 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg). PRICE RANGE: $36,820 - $49,665 WEB: www.toyota.ca power is streamed through a fivespeed Super ECT-i automatic transmission and full-time multi-mode 4x4 with a locking centre differential controlled via a three-mode, centre console-mounted switch. An A-TRAC traction control system is standard equipment on all models, as is downhill assist control for low speed descents, and the hill-start assist control that holds the vehicle on a slope long enough for the driver to switch smoothly from brake to throttle. The 2011 Toyota 4Runner is offered as a V6 SR5 base model with a $36,820 starting price, a bottom line virtually unchanged over the past few years. Four option packages are available: the Upgrade package adding leather and other amenities for $5,980; the Trail Edition with maximum off-road add-ons for $7,310; the luxurious Limited package for an additional $11,195; or the top-of-the-line Limited with Navigation package, bumping content to the max for an extra $12,845. Anyone interested can investigate those packages more easily online (www.toyota.ca) than I can here.
The Rogue is equally at home in city or highway traffic From Page B1 And it doesn’t have the ‘compact’ CUV market to itself at Nissan any more with the launch of the smaller Juke last fall. While the changes for 2011 are subtle, the Rogue does have some different exterior styling cues including a splash of chrome on the front grille along with chrome side moldings over the rocker panels, and a new rear spoiler. In all, it gives the Rogue a more stylish look. Inside, the cabin is spacious. Cargo volume is a generous 1,639 litres with the rear seats folded and 818 litres with the seats up. My Rogue SV AWD tester was painted a punchy Ultramarine Blue. It featured $2,085 in options, including $135 for the paint and $1,950 for the Premium Package that offered 18-inch alloy wheels (replacing the
17-inchers), fog lights, tow package prewiring, power glass moonroof, fold down front passenger seat, upgraded six-speaker audio system (replacing a four-speaker system), illuminated dual vanity mirrors, steering wheel audio controls, dual level centre console storage, full-size spare with alloy wheel, radio data system and speed sensitive volume. Already standard on the SV model are features like heated upgraded front cloth seats, tilt steering column, keyless remote entry, rearview camera, trip computer and outside temperature gauge, 4.3-inch colour audio display and rear tonneau cover. The cabin of the Rogue has a cockpit-like feel with a supportive driver’s seat that adjusts six ways manually. It will also lift two inches if you want to sit up just a bit higher.
The heated, cloth driver’s seat (leather is standard on the SL model and optional on the SV) is both comfortable and supportive. The instrument panel is well laid out and easy to read. Like many vehicles I see today, there is a bit too much hard plastic for my liking, but overall, the Rogue has an attractive, well-finished interior. On the road, the Rogue is equally at home in city or highway traffic. The CVT transmission works efficiently to get the best possible fuel economy and power out of the 2.5-litre engine, but the constant whine you get under acceleration with almost all CVTs is annoying. This CVT, though, is one of the better ones on the market and it employs adaptive logic control and adjusts the shift pattern according to the driving situation and
driver’s demands. Overall, the engine responds quickly to throttle pressure and the vehicle exhibits smooth and powerful acceleration. Once up to speed, the noise subsides and there’s little wind or road noise intruding into the cabin. It becomes a very pleasant environment. Natural Resources Canada puts the fuel economy numbers of the AWD Rogue at 9.3L/100 km (30 mpg) city and 7.7L/100km (37 mpg) highway. All in all, the Rogue proves to be a solid, capable performer. And although it has undergone only a mid-cycle refresh for 2011, it offers a better overall package for buyers looking for the utility, comfort and versatility of a compact CUV.

The all-new 2011 Yamaha Stryker (left) and the extraordinary new Super Ténéré.
Yamaha offers two-wheel adventure Last year, Yamaha Motor Canada announced the launch of two exciting new motorcycles, the 2011 Stryker cruiser and 2012 Super Ténéré adventure tourer. These motorcycles complement the FZ8 and Fazer 8 motorcycles previously launched last June. The all-new Stryker, with a 1304 cc, fuel-injected powerplant features chopper-inspired styling. Ride quality is bolstered with typical V-Twin attributes like arm-stretching torque and a classic rumble sound. The Stryker also boasts the 34-degree rake with six-degree yoke offset found on the larger displacement Raider, allowing for comfortable low speed handling while maintaining the stylish, low and raked look of a custom. Yamaha’s extraordinary new Super Ténéré has been a hot topic of conversation among motorcyclists since its European launch last year. Yamaha is proud to introduce it to Canada, a country ready for adventure bikes. At the heart of the Ténéré lies a fuelinjected, two-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 1199cc mill that mixes gobs of torque
with quick-revving acceleration for excellent performance in varied conditions. The bike has a number of advanced rider assist technologies like Intelligent Unified Braking System with ABS, Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle with three-mode traction control, a low, centralized mass for confidence-inspiring handling and adjustable seat height and suspension. “The new Ténéré is the ultimate bike for an adventurous soul. It’s has some of Yamaha’s latest technology with everything you need to cover big miles on a route less traveled,” says John Bayliss, product manager, motorcycles at Yamaha Motor Canada. In launching two bikes with completely different applications, Bayliss mused, “The only thing similar about these bikes is they require a motorcyclist with a bold personality who is passionate about their riding. “Whether you want to attract attention on the boulevard or go exploring in remote areas, these bikes are yet another example that Yamaha has something for everyone.”

T
he CBR250R, the latest addition to Honda’s entry lineup, is sure to be a hit around the globe and it comes to Canada for the spring of 2011. In a changing motorcycle marketplace, Honda recently added the CBR125R as an introductory bike to a new generation of potential motorcyclists. The CBR250R is a follow-up to that successful entry level introduction, a more powerful, more versatile motorcycle that still offers lightweight maneuverability and nimble handling in a new, smooth and polished modern style. In designing the CBR250R, Honda R&D targeted a wider audience beyond just novice introduction, trying to appeal to riders of all kinds, from beginners to experts. The CBR250R comes with a newly-developed liquid-cooled,

commitment by ensuring that the CBR250R’s engine meets both EPA 49 state and Euro 3 emission standards. This is due in part to its O2 sensor that works in conjunction with its electronically controlled fuel injection system (PGM-FI) and exhaust catalyst to reduce harmful emissions. In the area of safety technology, the CBR250R’s specifications include optional Combined ABS. Combined ABS, still rare in this entry level niche, improves vehicle stability during braking by connecting front and rear braking systems and incorporating technology that prevents wheel lock during sudden braking or under unfavorable conditions. The CBR250R will be built at the Honda Manufacturing facility in Thailand and will be exported to a wide range of countries including Japan, Europe, Canada, the US and Australia. Thai Honda has produced over 18 million motorcycles including the CBR125R that has enjoyed such success in Canada.
