DESIGNING NICHE IN NEW WEST

HYACKS SEASON ENDS ABRUPTLY

First Nations skills program evictedGrant [email protected]

A New Westminster-based aboriginal skills training program is scrambling to find a new location after being evicted on short notice for complaining that construction in their building was creating seismic-like shaking in their offices.

The Essential Skills for Aboriginal Futures (ESAF) program has been operating at 735 Carnarvon St. since 2008. Being in Downtown New West was ideal because it offered easy access via SkyTrain from all over the Lower Mainland for its clients. The space was on the ground floor of a 16-storey highrise with the top 12 floors being residential.

In 2012, the building’s owners received approval from city council to convert the second through fourth floors from office space to residential rental units.

Facility holding 40th birthday bash SaturdayGrant [email protected]

Don Benson was blown away when he went to Nova Scotia in 1969 to serve as the box lacrosse chairman for the first Canada Summer Games.

It wasn’t just the state-of-the-art facilities the area acquired as hosts of the Games, but the price tag paid by the cities. Halifax and Dartmouth built the facilities for 33 cents on the dollar because Ottawa

and the provincial government also kicked in equal shares.

When he returned home he was so excited he said to his wife Evelyn, “New Westminster can do this.”

And it did. In partnership with Burnaby, New West learned in August 1970 that they’d won the bid for the 1973 Canada Summer Games. Its biggest legacy, the Canada Games Pool, marks its 40th anniversary this Saturday.

“I saw an opportunity,” says the 80-year-old Benson during an interview in the pool’s lobby.

He sat at his kitchen table and

created a coloured chart to figure out what was needed. He enlisted the support of The Columbian newspaper publisher Rikk Taylor and sports editor Glyn Lewis. The three talked to Mayor Muni Evers, who loved the idea since he had a dream of an Olympic-sized swimming pool for New West. That dream became a reality because of the Canada Games.

“Once it was built I felt it was ideal,” says Benson. “It was very much needed because we didn’t have any (indoor) swimming facilities except for the Downtown YMCA

which had a small pool.”Benson says Evers offered to

put his name on the pool but Don declined. In hindsight, he wishes he had asked for a lifetime pass to the pool because he uses the facility all the time. Benson will be at the 40th birthday bash, but considering all the talk by city council in recent years about renovating or replacing the pool, he’s curious what it will look like on its 50th birthday.

The party is at the pool from 1 to 4 p.m. There will be family activities and a slide show with pictures from the pool’s inception to the present.

The man who helped the Games beginGRANT GRANGER/NEWSLEADER

The Canada Games Pool marks its 40th anniversary on Saturday with a party. If New West has anyone to thank for the pool, Don Benson should certainly be at the top of the list.

SOMBRE SERVICE

PHOTOS BY MARIO BARTEL

A lightly overcast sky cast an appropriately sombre mood for Monday’s Remembrance Day services at the cenotaph in front of New Westminster city hall. The lawn around the cenotaph filled with young and old paying tribute to Canada’s dwindling ranks of veterans. They also had the opportunity to lay wreaths and pin their poppies on two ceremonial crosses.

After its original lease expired, ESAF opted for a month-to-month deal with the previous owners because they knew renovations were on the way. At first the work seemed innocuous enough that ESAF would be able to bear with it and continue operating there until its service contract with the federal government expired in December 2014, said Cori Thunderchild, ESAF director.

But then one day about seven weeks ago, the building and desks suddenly began to shake. The noise was deafening, Thunderchild said. While it felt like an earthquake, it turned out it was jackhammers at work above them.

Thunderchild and the Aboriginal Community Career Employment Services Society (ACCESS), the non-profit that runs ESAF, complained to property manager Kim Schuss of Dorset Realty because there had been no warning jackhammers were going to be used. Thunderchild said she told him ESAF couldn’t run its classes with the noise going on, and that some of the construction was affecting their computer network and lab. Earplugs and Tylenol were inadequate solutions to the problem.

“It made it really impossible to work,” said Thunderchild. “I told [Schuss], ‘Man, you are crippling our organization,’ and the response I got from that was an eviction notice. We’ve basically become an inconvenience to them. We’re getting pushed out.”

ESAF was told to vacate the premises by Nov. 30. ACCESS CEO John Webster said the organization wanted to sign a five-year lease back in the spring but didn’t because of the construction and communication issues. When this latest incident occurred and they were still unable to get a response from Schuss, they reluctantly decided they had no choice but to move.

“We don’t want to move. We’ve been here a long time,” said Thunderchild.

Fortunately they’ve been able to find room in ACCESS’s Surrey, Annacis Island and Downtown Eastside locations for some of the classes, but many of ESAF’s employees have nowhere to work.

Thunderchild believes ESAF should be reimbursed for the extra expenses caused by the construction.

Attempts by the NewsLeader to reach Schuss for comment before deadline were unsuccessful.

Say proposal has too much residential, too little commercialGrant [email protected]

The initial master plan proposed for Sapperton Green isn’t getting a green light from city council because it has too much housing and not enough commercial.

Coun. Bill Harper said he was under the impression a third of the 38-acre site next to the Braid Street SkyTrain station at the corner of Braid and Brunette Avenue would be residential while the rest would continue to generate employment.

But the plans submitted to the city appeared to be the other way around, he said.

“This was supposed to be employment lands,” said Harper, chair of the city’s economic development committee, at the Nov. 4 council meeting. “By going with this much residential it doesn’t do that much for the city. We were expecting much more employment on this property.

There’s no sense fooling around with it. The developer deserves to have a sense of where we are going with this.”

The site is being developed by Bentall Kennedy but is owned by B.C. Management Investment Corporation, whose clients are public sector pension plans and other public bodies and funds.

Harper said the issue needs to be dealt with sooner rather

than later, and pointed to the evolution of the Brewery District where six zones were created and analyzed before moving ahead gradually. Rather than let the process get too far down the road, Harper wants to engage the developer on working on the rationale for the site’s plan.

“My top priority is to have employment on this land.”

COURTESY CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTERThis map shows the breakdown of residential, office, retail and mixed-use as proposed by the developer. Residential is shown in yellow, office space in pink. Brunette Avenue is to the right, Braid Street is below the map.

An incident on Sunday involving a van full of purloined gasoline should be of great concern to fire and police departments, and citizens in general.

In this case, a van hit a pickup truck at Scott Road and 104 Avenue, headed off and burst into flames a couple of blocks away, at 122 Street and 104 Avenue.

The incident is the first of its type for Surrey RCMP, but it is not the first such incident. Two other similar crashes and explosions took place in Vancouver and Coquitlam in the past two months.

As most people know, gasoline is a highly flammable and explosive substance.

Just a few litres can create a fireball, so a van filled with large tanks of gasoline, which has been stolen and is being offered for resale, is not dissimilar to the vehicles used in suicide bombings in other regions of the world.

Gasoline theft has been a problem for years, but mainly on a smaller scale.

Apparently these thieves are using stolen credit cards to buy large quantities of gasoline, fill tanks hidden in vans, and then sell it to people at a discount from the pump price.

Those eager to get a bargain, without thinking of the consequences of letting these people do business this way, are quick to buy.

High gas prices cause people to do a lot of strange things. Many of the initial cross-border trips taken by residents in this area come about to save money on gasoline, as the price is substantially lower in the U.S.

The main factor in the price differential is taxes levied on this side of the border, with the 17-cent TransLink tax and the

provincial carbon tax being the two biggest contributors to the higher prices.

I’ve often wondered why people would drive or sit in line for several hours just to get lower-priced gas, but many people time their trips so that they cross when lineups are minimal.

Others make good use of their Nexus cards, which are definitely an added incentive for cross-border shopping.

But while cross-border shopping is an obvious choice for many when it comes to getting lower-priced gasoline, buying it on the black market from a van driver seems highly risky and downright dangerous. Who’s to say that there won’t be a spill or fire when the van driver is helping a local to fill up?

Gas stations have to follow a lot of safety rules for very good reasons, and one of the most obvious safety measures they can implement is the ability to shut off the supply of gasoline if a fire or spill does occur.

If gasoline theft is this

prominent, and it seems that it is, people need to take precautions when they have tanks of gasoline or diesel fuel at their businesses. These are obviously targets for these type of thieves.

In addition, people with larger vehicles that have larger fuel tanks need to ensure that it is very difficult to steal gas from parked vehicles. While a locking gas cap is an obvious precaution, it isn’t always enough for sophisticated thieves, who have been known to drill into gas tanks (which also is a very hazardous behaviour) to steal fuel.

In the meantime, people who have suspicions about vans which appear to be delivering gasoline on the street or in alleys should let police know right away.

They may be preventing a much worse explosion from taking place.

Frank Bucholtz is the editor of The Langley Times

Gas theft a serious problem

The ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in self-flagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review released last Friday.

The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest.

Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term.

True, she hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way.

But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election).

When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thick-skinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case.

Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese. Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping a hungry eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

COMMENTSo! The Competition Bureau

of Canada has declared that Sobeys, which was able to spend $5.6 billion absorbing Safeway which previously absorbed Thrifty Foods, must now get rid of the Thrifty store in Sapperton for the sake of preserving a competitive marketplace!

This is like a sci-fi happening in a state dictatorship.

Takeovers by their very existence reduce competition. They never are a benefit to the store’s customers who already pay for everything including the acquisitions—how else did Sobey find $5.6 billion to buy Safeway?

However the money is found, it is paid for by the newly formed Sobey-Safeway. The only thing that happens is a bigger bottom line for the acquisitor.

Just as takeovers, buyouts and mergers have no purpose except making lawyers billfolds bulge, neither does Canada’s phony

Competition Bureau have any purpose except reducing competition.

Much work ahead before large residential complex built next to Port RoyalGrant [email protected]

New Westminster is going ahead with a rezoning application for a large Queensborough residential development even though a shovel won’t be put into the ground for a few years.

Kesho Inc. and Sonjan Enterprises are proposing a 473-unit complex on Duncan Street along the Fraser River at the west end of the Port Royal development’s first phase. Called Mercer Landing, it would be on eight acres currently zoned for heavy industrial use. It was formerly the site of Star Shipyard from 1908 to 1970.

But it’s still a long way from being built. Even if the rezoning application is approved, before they can start digging the developers will have to satisfy some conditions the city is imposing upon the project. Because it was used for heavy industrial use for decades the entire site must be remediated, the dike running alongside the river must be relocated to the perimeter of the site and upgraded to current standards,

and the city’s perimeter walkway has to be extended on top of the dike.

In addition, a small section of land on the west side of the site would retain the heavy industrial zoning designation, but no building would be allowed on it, to provide a buffer between the development and Port Metro Vancouver’s property—the former Interfor sawmill site—next door.

However, the city has suggested it would be amenable to a future rezoning to allow for an employment building of some sort to be built there that could also act as a buffer.

A staff report to council Nov. 4 said fulfilling those conditions will likely take several years, but the “applicant has been forthright in stating that the purpose of the rezoning application is to secure the future land use of the site, in accordance with the [official community plan], rather than pursuing a specific development at this time.”

At this stage the proposal is for 48 townhouse units and 425 apartments at 41 and 175 Duncan St.

The rezoning application is still subject to a public hearing before it can get final approval from council.

Coun. Jonathan Coté said he supports mixed use for the site but wants more details about how they will be balanced.

“There really are only limited opportunities for our city to have commercial office space and this is one of them,” said Coté.

Coun. Lorrie Williams said the project presents a unique opportunity for the city to plan a community centre in the area.

“I really do think something

is needed in this part of the city as a meeting place, civic structure,” said Williams. “This is the time to bring this to the fore.”

Community meetings and open houses on the project will be held during the next two months, with input sought from the city’s advisory planning commission and the New Westminster design panel before it is brought back to council in January.

A public hearing is anticipated to be held in June 2014. After

that it must be approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure before receiving final adoption by council.

Traff Green has been designing eyewear from the studio of his basement

in New Westminster for

13 years. He says inspiration can strike him

at any moment, including while

visiting the Royal City Show

& Shine.MARIO BARTEL NEWSLEADER

Mario [email protected]

A massive heart attack helped Traff Green see his future.

He no longer wanted to sell eyewear. He wanted to create it.

That was 13 years ago. Now from his studio in the basement of his New Westminster home Green currently has more than 132 frame designs that are available at retailers around North America and in Europe.

In an industry dominated by studios in cities like

Paris, London, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Milan and Los Angeles, Green has carved himself a niche as a designer of artisan eyewear.

He’s done that by calling upon his artistic background as a wood carver to create frames exclusively for women. And by following his vision after he was felled by the years of accumulated stress peddling other manufacturers’ eyewear, lenses and then, for a stretch, as an importer.

Green, 72, got his start in the optical business in Winnipeg in 1965. When he moved west in 1979, he became a representative for Carl Zeiss lenses, calling upon optometrists across Western Canada. He was good at it, so good the company awarded him with a trip to their design and manufacturing facility in Cologne, Germany.

The visit opened Green’s eyes. He decided to strike out on his

own as an eyewear distributor. But the constant hassle and bureaucracy of dealing with importing product into Canada wore him down.

“I was really fried by the business,” says Green of the coronary that almost killed him on May 29, 2000. “I

had to change my lifestyle.”

When he wasn’t hawking eyewear, Green loved to carve animals in wood, a passion shared by other members of his family. His avocation demanded an innate understanding of physiology and skeletal structures. Why not combine that knowledge with his experience in eyewear to create unique frames that complement the facial bone structure of the wearer?

“The face makes the first impression,” says Green.

He created six designs then set out to find a manufacturer. A visit to the Consul-General of Korea in Vancouver connected Green with plants with precision tooling eager

for new business after much of the country’s watchmaking fled to China and Taiwan.

But getting a toehold in the business wasn’t easy. A sales rep wouldn’t take him on because his line was too small.

“When you get it up to 30, call me,” one told Green.

So he went back to his drawing board and did just that, building on his line every year.

Green says inspiration can strike him at any time, like while visiting the Royal City Show & Shine where he was fascinated by the textured running board he saw on a restored half-ton truck. He incorporated the dimpled design of the foothold into the temples of one of his

frames.“Everything and

anything will catch my eye to put into eyewear,” says Green, who will sketch out his initial ideas and then file them away for further consideration later.

Once his idea is fully developed, he sends his drawings to one of five manufacturers he has relationships with, who will build a prototype for further refinement as well as colour options.

It’s a meticulous process, but one that Green says sets his designs apart.

“I don’t design to the fashion of the day,” says Green. “You have to stand out.”

New Westminster poet Renée Saklikar will launch her personal memoir of the bombing of Air India Flight 182 that occurred June 23, 1985 at an event in the Heritage Grill Back Room on Sunday, Dec. 1.

Children of Air India: Un/Authorized Exhibits and Interjections explores the nature of individual loss and public trauma in poetic verse.

The book launch runs from 2-3 p.m. and will be followed by the weekly edition of Poetic Justice with readings by Kyle McKillop, Lilija Valis and Eva Waldauf as well as an open mic.

Three rounds down, two to go.

And with their bid for a $100,000 grant from the Aviva Community Fund for a playground at the new Qayqayt elementary school heading into the final corner before it turns for home, the parents of the school’s future students are upping their game.

Ronda Field, of the John Robson parents’ advisory council, said the group behind the bid is holding a community walk on Nov. 30 to raise awareness as online voting opens for the semi-final round. The walk will begin at 11 a.m. and head down Sixth Street from the corner of Sixth and Sixth to the site of the new school, and then on to Robson. Participants will be carrying signs urging people to support the project and they’ll unfurl a banner at the Qayqayt site directing people to the website where they can cast their online ballots.

Field said she’s been overwhelmed by the

community’s response to their playground proposal, including efforts by the city and the chamber of commerce to direct people to the voting website.

“It’s been awesome,” said Field. “It’s what makes New Westminster such a great community, they’ve really gotten behind this.”

But the competition is getting tougher, and the pressure to keep people clicking in their votes is growing.

“We really want to get people to vote,” said Field.

The walk will also be incorporated into a new video about the project that will be posted on its page on the Aviva Community Fund website.

Of 90 semi-finalists from across the country only the top 30 will reach the final where a panel of judges review the various community projects to decide how to distribute a total of $1 million available for worthwhile ventures. Projects are judged on the

positive impact they’ll have on the community, how long that impact will be felt, its originality and the quality of the submission.

While students attending Qayqayt when it’s scheduled to open next September will have a spanking-new school, there’s no money in the budget for a playground.

By securing funding early, the parents advisory council hopes to be able to take advantage of some savings they’d realize by having the project installed as tradesmen and landscapers are still on site to get a top-notch playground that will be accessible to everyone.

Online voting for the semi-final round begins Dec. 2 and runs until Dec. 11. To learn more go to www.vote4robson.com.

The City is currently making upgrades to the full length of Ewen Avenue. These upgrades will make Ewen a more safe and attractive street for walking, biking and driving.

As part of these upgrades, the City is redesigning the intersection of Howes Street and Ewen Avenue. There are two design options for this intersection: a roundabout or a traffi c signal. The designs for the new intersection seek to balance traffi c management, road use safety and creation of an attractive entrance to the community at Ewen and Howes.

We are inviting the community to attend this open house and provide feedback.

DATE: Wednesday, November 20, 2013

TIME: 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands2014 Cadillac CTS

One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufactur-ers and consumers alike.As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and perfor-mance better than most and the Japa-nese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motors’ flagship in terms of refinement and technology.

Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

high tensile steel, is stiffer, safer, handles better and above all is more efficient. What Cadillac didn’t change was the edgy design language they have become known for. The LED accent lights are especially attractive at night and run vertical compared to most cars’ horizontal approach. The longer and lower stance of the CTS makes it look athletic, yet elegant. The one weak area is the back. It lacks the same visual punch as the impressive front grille and headlamps.

Inside The new CTS is lighter than the BMW but it is a bit smaller inside. It’s not as wide and the back seat is a bit shorter. Front seat passengers are treated to plenty of room and a view onto the dash is impressive. The centre console has a touch-screen system called CUE, which has rich colours and striking graphics. The heat, volume and a few other controls are all touch-sen-sitive, meaning they have no dials or switches. The problem is it shows fingerprints and dust against the shiny black plastic.

Drive With a lighter car comes a better perform-ing car, but the heart of any luxury performance car is a solid engine. On this front, Cadillac offers three options and all three have more power than the closest com-petitors. The first is the same 2.0L turbocharged engine used by the ATS. With 272hp it is well above the 240hp offered in the BMW 528i. The

carryover engine is the direct injection 3.6L V6 with 321hp, again more than the 300hp in the 535i. The top of range motor, for now, is the Vsport model with a twin turbocharged version of the 3.6L engine, putting out 420hp. You guessed it, more power than the 400hp found in the V8 550i. The Vsport is only sold as a rear wheel drive car (RWD) where all the others are available with all wheel drive (AWD). The catch is that AWD models come with an 8-speed automatic transmission, but the AWD versions are fitted with a 6-speed unit. The steering offers good feedback to the driver and the suspension is smooth, yet lively, and has a nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like stan-dard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

The Lowdown Power: 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp 3.6L V6 with 321hp or Turbo 3.6L with 420hpFill-up: 10.5L/6.6L/100km (city/highway 2.0L turbo) Sticker price: $$50,895-$74,495

Safety Tip:Challenging fall and winter conditions can already be found in many parts of B.C. Please adjust your driving for the conditions you encounter. In poor weather, slow down, increase your following distance

and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

OF THE WEEK!

?QUESTION

QuestionOF THE WEEK:

Do you plan to put winter tires on your vehicle this year, or will you stick with all-season tires? Please explain why you have made that decision.

Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.


The temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are clogging up the streets and snow is beginning to fall in parts of B.C.Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province

you call home. My remarks are aimed chiefly at truck owners but the message is common for all: driver and vehicles must be equally prepared. In winter, braking and stop-ping vehicles of all kinds is perhaps where most of us get into trouble. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and so they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a pas-senger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all- season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure

of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerat-ing the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in temperature. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more prone to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage.Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy con-

ditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement.

Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to de-

activate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive

vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster. Besides, many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger ve-hicles and actually may take longer to stop. And don’t bank on your 4x4’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way is to steer into the skid while applying the brake pedal evenly. Look farther ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. ian.harwood @drivewaybc.ca

Driving better: because you’re worth it

B.C. racecar driver Cherie Storms told me she was taking an advanced driver training course to appease her father’s wishes.She’d been putting it off since teenagedom. That said, her father is an accomplished racecar driver and a proficient motorist, so you could argue it was an inevitability. But she had to find the desire in herself first. What followed, even she didn’t think would happen. She recently took home the championship title for the B Spec series in her Mazda2 for the 2013 race season.She grew up in a motor-sports household but it wasn’t until she actually got behind the wheel at the driving course that her mindset changed.“I was just overwhelmed with all of the technical aspects that it takes to be a good driver,” she stated.It’s like what my Grade 12 math teacher always said, “Math is not a spectator

sport.”There was even a poster on the cubicle wall to remind us.The same thing goes for driving. Except there’s no poster in the cubicle for that!We need to be an active participant, not a wall-flower. Anyone who has taken ad-vanced driving courses will know exactly what Cherie is talking about.It’s not just about know-ing how to shift gears on a manual transmission without jerking the car, or parallel parking your sedan without curbing the rims. Driving is so much more.I understand that this mode of transportation is a neces-sity for many. And it’s something done out of convenience rather than love. Kind of like laundry or grouting the bathroom floor tiles. Then again, for others, it’s a passion. Myself included. Taking a specialized course, whether it’s a track day or a race school isn’t just for wannabe racers. It’s for everyone. And we can all learn if we have an open mind.We read to keep our mind sharp. We walk/run/work out to keep our bodies active. We sleep to keep our bodies functioning. Why should driving be any different? Why shouldn’t we actively engage in making ourselves better drivers?

Every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle, there’s a possibility you can

change your life or the lives of others. We might not think too

much about it, but operat-ing a vehicle is a huge responsibility.

Poor driving habits, not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing, are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact. It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits.For example, if you look at any of the top athletes in their sport, they’re training most of the time. They’re trying to perfect their craft, even when they’re at the top of it.I doubt Sebastian Vettel slums around in his down time, even after winning his fourth consecutive Formula 1 world championship. Sure, he gets a break, but he’s constantly training to be faster and stronger. In another interview, I chat-ted with Izod Indy racecar driver Simona de Silvestro. She told me that there’s really no such thing as an “off-season.” She said she trains all year long. In fact, she trains harder

when she’s not always behind the wheel of a car to prepare for the upcoming races.If the pros do it, we should to.Some of the most fun I’ve had behind the wheel of a car has been at a driving school. Whether it was the three-day racing school at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with the Skip Barber program, or a track day at the Mission Raceway with Morrisport Advanced Driving, or even a track program close to you, it’s a win-win. If we’re all safer drivers then the chances of ac-cidents are minimized and we can keep our vehicles dent-free longer. And avoid going through insurance claims. The few hundred dollars it takes to enrol is of infinite worth in the long run.

A little extra driver training for yourself can benefit everyone on the road.

As the temperature drops, drivers and vehicles must be ready for the snow.

People point and laugh at Jim Knowles when he drives his Smart Fortwo Electric Drive through downtown Campbell River.But he and his wife Catherine have the last laugh when they open up their hydro bill.“I think the last bill was just a few dollars more than the one we got before we bought the car in July so that’s inexpensive driving,” said Knowles.“I work out at the airport and so I travel about 10 kilometres each way every day. I never let the battery go below 20 percent but I still find I can sometimes go four days before I plug it in overnight.”In the summer, Knowles said he can easily get up to the 160 km range on a single charge but knows the Vancouver Island winter will take that down to around 120 as the wipers and heater take their energy toll.“We moved from Ladner three-and-half years ago with our

Smart Diesel. I think people here thought we would buy something a little bigger – this is the truck capital of the Island after all.”But they came back from a car-shopping jaunt from Richmond with the little electric car, which set them back around $26,990 less a generous BC government rebate of $5,000.

“We stopped in Qualicum Beach to charge it for a couple of hours and made it back here easily.”The car charges on what is called a level one (basic) charger but with rebates now offered on fast chargers, they are contemplating investing in one.Knowles got in touch with

Driveway to tell of his experi-ences with the Smart car, following our launch piece on the BMWi3 electric car a few weeks ago. We would like to hear from others, who are driving pure electric vehicles in rural areas. Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban dwellers. The Knowles are demonstrating they can serve people outside of major cities. Admittedly, they don’t travel far each day but then surely that’s the case for many rural residents.Yes, trucks, larger cars and SUVs will always dominate in parts of the province where harsh winters are commonplace and distances travelled are greater. But cars like the Smart and i3 may have a role to play as a family’s second vehicle in those locations.What do you [email protected]

An all-new 2010-model year E-Class Coupe beat its sedan counterpart into Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealerships, in mid-2009. Style, safety and comfort are fundamental character-istics of an E-Class, which is considered to be one of the safest cars in the world. This generation E-Class came with ten air bags and a new Pre-Safe system that readies all on-board safety systems, when it detects that a collision may be about to happen.

A car to savour on a long road trip, this E-Class came with a new “Intelligent” body structure that’s 30 per cent more rigid than its predecessor, incredibly comfortable seating and a newly developed suspen-sion with shock absorbers that automatically adjust to a driving situation. An optional air suspension was also available with an elec-tronic damping system.The E350 (coupe or sedan) is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The E550 (coupe or sedan) has a 5.5 litre V8 that can generate 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The sedan also comes in a high-performance AMG 63 edition with a 6.2-litre V8 that makes 518 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All three engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the rear wheels of the Coupe and to all four wheels of the Sedan. The rear-drive 3.5L V6 gets best fuel economy at 11.9 L/100/km in the city and 7.6 L/100/km on the highway. The 6.2L V8 is the gas guzzler, with a city/highway

rating of 16.5/10.2 L/100/km. All three engines also prefer premium fuel. A standard Dynamic Handling package also allows the driver to choose a sporty-set-up at the touch of a button. This changes the continuously variable damping, the speed-sensi-tive power steering (with variable centering), ESP/ASR (traction control), accelera-tor response, and speed of automatic gear changes. New active safety innova-tions included Attention Assist, which is a driver drowsiness monitor, Pre-Safe, which is preventative occupant protection system, Adaptive High Beam Assist, which automatically dims headlight high beams, and an automatic emergency braking system called Dis-tronic Plus.Attention Assist is a warn-ing system that can sense a drop in driver atten-tion level. It continuously monitors more than 70 different driver performance parameters, such as erratic steering behaviour, and will signal when it’s time for the driver to take a break. Four new E-Class models

were added for the 2011 model year: an E350 4MA-TIC station wagon, E350 BlueTEC diesel sedan, and two convertibles, the E350 cabriolet and E550 cab-riolet. At highway cruising speeds you can barely hear the E350 BlueTEC diesel engine, throttle response is fast (for a diesel) and pulling power (398 lb ft of torque from 1600 to 2400 rpm) is phenomenal. Engine upgrades followed in 2012. The E350 4MA-TIC got a direct-injection 3.5-litre V6. The E550 4MATIC got a 4.6-litre bi-turbo V8 and the E63

AMG got a 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8. All models also receive a revised transmission, electric power steering and LED license plates.Even though owner costs tend to be higher than average, the E-Class made Consumer Reports’ ‘Recom-mended list of cars to buy and the E350 BlueTEC was singled out for special praise. If style, comfort and safety top your auto “wish list”, and you’ve got the money, consider the remarkable Mercedes-Benz E-Class. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

High school is about learning and New Westminster Hyacks head football coach can’t help but believe his players missed out on an important learning experience.

Coquitlam’s Centennial Centaurs downed the Hyacks 26-23 in a first-round AAA provincial playoff matchup at Mercer Stadium last Friday to abruptly end the Hyacks season.

Although the group had experienced one- and two-win seasons as they rose through the ranks they managed to come away with a 6-4 overall record this season and were only a few plays away from being 8-2 in Lalji’s mind.

“Compared to last season (3-7) it was much better, and compared to what those kids went through in JV (junior varsity) it was an improvement, it was a step. But winning in the playoffs is that one step, and you have to learn how to do that,” said Lalji, who would have liked to have taken the Hyacks through another week of practice and playoff preparation even though they would be up against a top-ranked team. “We didn’t get to continue, and we didn’t get to gain experience.

“You don’t go from out

of the playoffs to provincial champions overnight, but that doesn’t mean I’m satisfied.”

The Hyacks went into Friday’s game the slight favourite. It was a similar situation for the JV squad last year when it was upset by the

Abbotsford W.J. Mouat Hawks.

“When we lost that game, it was a similar thing, you took away an opportunity to see how to win and do a playoff experience,” said Lalji.

On Friday, the Hyacks’ demise was sealed with a fumble and an interception late in the game.

“It was very much of a surprise. Not what we expected, we certainly thought we were a lot better than that,” said Lalji of the outcome.

Quarterback Tommy Robertson scored on a 12-yard run and running back Angelo Tanjuaquio got TDs of five and four yards. The Hyacks were driving deep into Centennial territory when Robertson was picked off with a minute left. A fumbled punt at the Hyacks’ one-yard line also gave Centennial an easy TD.

Although the Hyacks will lose 18 seniors, Lalji has high hopes for next season because the 2012 JV team had such success during the regular season last year.

“It’s a group that’s more used to winning, and that matters a lot,” said Lalji. “I expect to be better in 2014 than 2013 as far as our record in the playoffs.”

Key returnees will be receiver Matt Seymour, running back Julian Ramirez, mammoth lineman Harper Sherman (6-5, 255) and guard/linebacker Jonathan Tomalty. Lalji is eager for the competition to replace graduating quarterback Robertson, who played despite missing the previous two games with a shoulder injury, between his backup Mackenzie Ratcliffe and JV starter Jamie Shiho. Lalji said Ratcliffe is smart and a good leader while Shiho is athletic.

Lalji expects about four or five seniors, including Robertson and receivers Jeremy Stewart and Tristan Sands, to eventually end up playing post-secondary pigskin.

“This group had passion for football and a lot of them will want to continue on with it,” said Lalji.

• The 2013 JV squad also had their season come to an abrupt end losing 34-20 to the hometown Kelowna Owls. New West finished the regular season with a 4-1 record in the South Division and 7-3 overall.

• The Hyacks will hold their year-end banquet at Roma Hall on Dec. 1.

A Nightingale Sang is released the same week as Remembrance Day; Book launch Saturday in Queen’s ParkJanis WarrenBlack Press

The working title for author David E. Burnell’s book was Shades of Blue.

But the name was changed by his New Westminster publisher, Vivalogue, as he said it reminded them too much of that other — and much naughtier — fictional piece, Fifty Shades of Grey.

It turned out the official title, A Nightingale Sang, was “actually more suitable in the end because it’s all about the song,” said Burnell, in reference to the tune his leading lady sings when she meets David Marshal.

The couple have their first encounter in a pub near Cambridge, in 1944.

He is a flight lieutenant from Powell River, B.C.; she is a doctor’s daughter due to be engaged to a wealthy pilot in Marshal’s training squadron.

But while their romance is the driver of the narrative, Burnell also includes some real scenes from the Second World War in England.

He spent a lot of time on his historical research and even got Coquitlam resident Maureen V. Patz — aka Spitfire Mo, a Canadian representative of the Spitfire Society — to review his manuscript for accuracy.

Burnell never served himself. He was five when he and his widowed aunt and her baby were evacuated from their south London home during the Blitz.

His mother was ordered to have her baby in Blackpool, where it was safe from flying bombs, and the two later joined Burnell and the family in Cardiff, Wales.

One of Burnell’s earliest memories of the war was watching the planes fly over with his father, an army driver.

A Nightingale Sang follows Burnell’s 18-story anthology, Dad’s Christmas Stories. He has also released Coven of the Unholy and The Elevator.

His next book will return to a wartime theme.

On Moonlight Shadow will tell the tale of a 1941 Canadian pilot downed in France.

The Second World War is a source of fascination for Burnell.

“I enjoy reading about it and I enjoy writing about it,” he said.

“I guess it’s because I lived through it that it will always be with me.”

• A Nightingale Sang will be launched Saturday, Nov. 16 by The Arts Council of New Westminster. Emceed by travel writer Julian Worker, the book event takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Gallery at Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park and will include a talk by Maureen Patz. The book is available at Renaissance Books (43 Sixth St., New Westminster) and amazon.ca.

Real estate prices stable as stocks soar

Lower Mainland real estate markets so far aren’t rising in line with this year’s gains in the stock markets.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said its composite benchmark price for all residential properties was $600,700 in October – a 0.5 per cent drop from a year ago. Attached duplexes and townhomes were virtually unchanged, while detached houses were down 0.5 per cent year-over-year and apartments were down 0.9 per cent.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), which includes Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, said its benchmark detached house price was up 0.8 per cent to $546,900 from a year ago, while townhouses were down 0.5 per cent and apartments are down 2.2 per cent.

“What we’re witnessing is a return to a balanced residential market indicated by prices remaining unchanged or down slightly compared to a year ago,” said FVREB president Ron Todson, who also cited stable inventory levels and the current two-month average wait for a home to sell.

The broad Canadian stock market index is up 10 per cent from one year ago, while the U.S. S&P 500 is closing in on a 30 per cent year-over-year gain.

Site answers Compass questions

TransLink has launched a website for transit users to ask questions about its new Compass card payment system. The question-and-answer site at askcompass.ca has more than 100 questions and responses so far.

According to the site, passengers with unused FareSaver tickets will be able to exchange them in the new year for Compass card credit.

The new cards will be rolled out gradually this winter to various groups of users.

SkyTrain tunnel driller coming

A massive tunnel boring machine is en route to Metro Vancouver from Ontario to begin drilling a tunneled section of the future Evergreen Line.

The machine will begin boring a two-kilometre section of tunnel in Port Moody and Coquitlam in February. It’s being shipped in pieces by rail and truck and will be assembled at a launch site on the west side of Barnet Highway. The $1.43-billion SkyTrain extension from Burnaby’s Lougheed Station to Coquitlam is to open in the summer of 2016.

B.C. drivers confident in snow

A poll has found only half of B.C. motorists plan to use winter tires even though two-thirds agree everyone should have them. Of those who don’t plan to use winter tires, 54 per cent said it doesn’t snow enough near them while 51 per cent believe all-season tires are safe enough to get them through winter. BCAA spokesman Ken Cousin said that underscores a misperception that winter tires are only for driving in snow.

“In fact, winter tires are the safest option for all winter conditions.”

Three British Columbia residents are getting the chance to win $10,000 towards a room makeover with natural gas after being chosen as a finalist in the RenoMe! with FortisBC contest.

Over 150 entries were received from all over the province, but the final three were narrowed down to Gayle Curtis of Maple Ridge for her kitchen, Melissa Tolsma of Nanaimo for her outdoor space and Wendy Frose of Chilliwack for her great room.

Designer Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. (SGDI) has taken on the outdoor space project, while SGDI’s Stephanie Malhas will design the great room, and Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design will handle the kitchen.

In the next phase of the contest, the three finalists will receive renderings of their space from their designer, and then readers will vote on which one deserves the makeover the most. The room with the most votes will win $10,000 towards their renovation, while the second and third-place finalists will receive $2,000 each.

Doise has consulted with Curtis, and has provided a rendering of how she thinks the kitchen could look once it’s renovated.

“The kitchen is in bad shape,” says Doise. “I want to give her a better flow between the work spaces and the rest of the room.”

Curtis calls her kitchen disgusting, gross and old, and says she’s tired of burning everything she cooks due to a bad stove, so Doise will be incorporating natural gas in the kitchen with a Viking dual-fuel gas range.

“It’s a very simple way to use natural gas,” she says.

Gas cooktops have long been popular with professional

chefs for their even cooking, precise temperature control and instant heat. Homeowners have increasingly been choosing them for their new and renovated kitchens alike.

One of the concerns with the room is the lack of space. In order to combat this, Doise has suggested a movable butcher block island that can be pushed into the pantry wall to open up the space. She notes that currently, you can’t even open the refrigerator without bumping into the existing counter, and opening the dishwasher blocks you from doing anything else in the kitchen.

“I want to bring in more light as well,” she says. “It will look more friendly and inviting.”

She also plans to incorporate an area for the homeowners to work and study.

“I want to make it multi-functional,” she says.

Doise has considered the owner’s tastes as well, and would incorporate her likes and dislikes into the final design.

“I want to make her happy,” she says.

Malhas is similarly excited about her great room project.

“People live in their space for so long that they get used to it and have trouble visualizing changing it,” she says. “I don’t have that emotional connection to it so I can see the potential in the room and suggest ways to fix it.”

The current room is the main living area for Frose’s family, and it’s in dire need of an update.

“Any time I can get into wood panelling is good,” laughs Malhas. “It will definitely be gone.”

One of the biggest issues with the room is the current wood-burning fireplace, which isn’t centred in the room and makes for awkward

“We’re going to put a natural gas fireplace centred on the wall,” she says, “and get rid of the metal pipe that goes into the ceiling.”

She also plans to give the

“She’s embarrassed by the room,” Malhas says. “It’s very dark, but it’s quite a big space so I want to make it more contemporary with a retro style.”

A natural gas fireplace is both

more energy-efficient and more convenient for homeowners. You no longer have to worry about power outages, since the fireplace doesn’t run on electricity, and there is no more waiting for your fireplace to heat up, since natural gas is available at the push of a button. There

are even some models that can be pre-programmed to turn on at a specific time. FortisBC is currently offering a $300 rebate for homeowners who purchase a qualifying EnerChoice fireplace.

Tolsma’s outdoor space offers plenty of scope for a makeover. The space is currently only usable

in the warmer months, so she’s hoping to be able to use it year-round if she wins the contest.

Among the ideas Gallop has for the yard is a hot tub with an arbor above it.

“That will give them a little bit of coverage and privacy,” she says, adding that the hot tub will be heated by natural gas.

Gallop also plans to include an outdoor kitchen with natural gas barbecue and a natural gas firepit.

A natural gas hot tub is a great idea for homeowners, with its consistent, fast heat and automatic safety shut-off controls for added peace of mind. Swimming pools can also be heated by natural gas.

FortisBC notes that a natural gas barbecue can be extremely convenient for homeowners looking for fuel on demand, as you’ll never have to deal with running out of propane or charcoal. It also allows you to cook with different temperatures at the same time and control the heat more easily. It also burns cleaner than other fuel sources, making it good for the environment as well.

FortisBC offers a energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrating that natural gas is the most affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at www.fortisbc.com/energycalculator. FortisBC natural gas customers are also continuing to benefit from some of the lowest prices in a decade, at under $4 per gigajoule.

Firepits are becoming increasingly popular in outdoor spaces, especially for those who want to use their outdoor space for more than just the summer months. They also make for great entertaining areas that Gallop describes as like camping in your own backyard.

Gallop’s design features several levels to define the different spaces in the yard.

“The space looked disconnected before,” she says. “This gives (Tolsma) different zones in the yard while still being connected.”

It also makes the space transition a bit better between the casual entertaining area, the hot tub and the rest of the yard.

“It’s a pretty straightforward renovation,” Gallop says. “The homeowner will be very happy with it.”

To vote, visit your local Black Press paper’s website and click on the Contests link. Voting is open until Nov. 30, and every voter will be entered into a draw to win a $500 gift card towards the purchase of a natural gas appliance.
