‘Family’ divided at Ikea: union workerDispute enters fourth month, no further talks planned
The summer sun was shining Wednesday, butthe drawn-out labour dispute at Ikea’s Richmondlocation has cast a dark cloud over one longtimeemployee.
Linda Mueller, who works as a cashier in thestore’s 600-seat restaurant, hasbeen with the Swedish homefurnishings giant since it downedroots in Richmond back in 1979.
Then, the store was located onNo. 3 Road, a couple of blocksor so south of Cambie Road. Andwith around 50 employees, it fos-
tered a family-like atmosphere.Today, at the sprawling, new outlet — the
showroom alone covers 60,000-square-feet and theoperation employs close to 400 — in north-eastRichmond that opened in April 2012, those closeties among employees no longer exist.
Mueller, 61, says the change is a shame, andheightens her disappointment the 300 or so union-ized workers — represented by Teamsters Local213 — and their employer are still at odds afternearly three months.
Wednesday, to be exact, was day number 88on the picket line for Mueller and her co-workers,many of whom she said are not as fortunate as herto get full time hours.
“Some people are getting just four hours aweek,” she said, adding that is the way the companyis not on the hook of providing benefits to workers.
Under the expired collective agreement, IkeaRichmond employees have to work 15 hours inorder to qualify for benefits coverage. The com-pany had offered workers putting in 15 to 23 hoursa week 80 per cent company paid benefits forthemselves.
And those working more than 24 hours a weekwould qualify for 100 per cent company paid ben-efits for themselves and their families.
Those offers were rejected by the union.The company has maintained it has always been
its ambition to reach a fair resolution.
That’s why on July 13, Ikea entered into media-tion in good faith and provided the union with anamended proposal eliminating a two-tier wage sys-tem, which was the primary barrier that brought theparties into mediation.
The alternate wage system included a two percent automatic annual increase, as well as a poten-tial six per cent annual increase tied to the store’sperformance. That would amount to four per centfor meeting the country average and an additionaltwo per cent for exceeding it.
The company also stated that 50 per cent of IkeaRichmond employees earn $18 an hour or more,and the average wage is more than $16 an hour.
“We believe that this is a fair and generous wageand is well above retail industry averages,” statedIkea.
Faced with the company’s offers, the unionremained unconvinced they would benefit its mem-bers and declined them.
The company also proposed changes to addresswhat it considered as the store’s poor performance— Ikea ranks Richmond worst out of its 12Canadian operations.
And that’s especially discouraging, states thecompany, given the investment in the new store.
“Despite the Ikea Richmond store being set-upto be a leading store on all metrics in the country,the store continues to underperform,” stated thecompany in a press release. “The global investmentrequest that we aimed to meet in the first year, willnow not be met until four years later.”
But that’s misplaced criticism, Meuller said, add-ing the responsibility for achieving sales cannot beput solely on the shoulders of the unionized work-force — management also needs to be accountable.
“And as anyone knows, when you have a newstore, the customers need time to get used to itand re-establish their shopping patterns,” she said.“That can take a couple of years.”

Wrapping up an attemptto rescue and relocate agroup of Richmond’s feralrabbits in red tape is justplain wrong.
That’s the view of offi-cials at Rabbitats who saida delay at the provinciallevel has multiplied theproblem — literally — at theRichmond Auto Mall.
Rabbitats has alreadytrapped a government-man-dated quota of 50 bunniesfrom the 65 or so feral rab-bits living in and aroundthe auto mall, but has beenprevented from collecting theremainder whose numbershave since increased.
The problem stems,Rabbitats claims, from adelay while officials at B.C.’sFish, Wildlife and HabitatManagement Branch sort outtheir internal policies.
Rabbitats had a permit totransport the 50 rabbits toa sanctuary in WashingtonState, which adhered to gov-
ernment’s export only policy.But some of the bun-
nies proved too small andfragile to be housed at theWashington facility.And that promptedRabbitats to ask forthose rabbits to berelocated to homes inB.C. first.
And while theprovince has okayedprivate adoptions, they havedenied permission for so-called “sanctuaries” to takethem.
The sticking point is thegovernment’s definition of“sanctuary,” said Rabbitats’Sorelle Saidman.
“Is a hobby farm a sanc-tuary? I don’t think so,”she said. “These people arewanting to adopt the rabbits
and care for themfor life. This isn’ta non-profit res-cue, it’s just peoplewith the space andmoney adopting afamily of abandonedrabbits.”
The permit forWashington State has nowexpired, meaning all the rab-bits are now in limbo.
“The delay is an incred-ible burden on the AutoMall and the rescue,” saidRichmond Auto Mall man-
ager Gail Terry.“We had spay/neuter and
long-term support budgets,and homes lined up for everyrabbit — and then some— when we started. Wehave ‘Rabbitville’ set up ina building scheduled to bedemolished in the fall.
“The breeding rabbitsmean we’re going to have totrap mothers and leave babiesin the nest, which is upset-ting. The budget is going toballoon. It’s a terrible hard-ship on all of us. It’s insane.”
No one from the B.C.’sFish, Wildlife and HabitatManagement Branch wasavailable for comment.

Those Richmond homeowners whohave so far not signed up to have awireless water meter installed on theirproperty are being encouraged to standtheir ground and oppose them.
That’s the advice from Una St. Clair,executive director for the Citizens forSafe Technology Society (CST) as thecity prepares to make them mandatoryfor the remaining 8,000 or so singlefamily homes not currently using them.
“(Wireless) water meters should notbe forced on anybody,” St. Clair said.“They should be fully explained andpeople be given the choice.”
St. Clair said she believes they posea health hazard.
“This (microwave radio frequencyradiation) is a toxin. And the govern-ment shouldn’t be in charge of tellingyou should take this toxin because it’sconvenient for us,” St. Clair said, citinga Kamloops resident who had a wirelesswater meter installed on her propertytwo years ago and complained it causedher to feel ill.
“She got strong tinnitus (ringing inthe ears),” St. Clair said.
City of Richmond spokesperson TedTownsend said the new water meters areconsidered safe.
“We’ve been using radio frequencydevices for a number of years and neverhad any concerns about them,” he said.
“Their output is less than one-tenthof what the BC Hydro smart meters use.And they (water meters) are typicallyinstalled, at the front of the propertyline, closest to the street.”
The new meters transmit water usagedata that allow meter readings to betaken from a vehicle cruising past a rowof homes. Townsend said readings aregathered four times a year.
About 70 per cent of local, singlefamily homes — which constitutesroughly 20,000 residences — alreadyhave the meters which have beenoffered on a voluntary basis over thepast five years.
The CST’s St. Clair said it’s impor-tant for the public to consider just howwidespread wireless technologies arebeing used today when deciding onallowing one more to be installed ontheir property.
“It’s not just your (water) meter,” St.Clair said. “If you’re in a normal, urbandevelopment think of all the housesaround you, all sending, spiking, puls-ing microwave radiation signals.
“People don’t get the big picture,which is the whole area is polluted bymultiple units that are pulsing away.”
St. Clair, who lives in Langley, saidshe has refused to have a BC Hydrosmart meter installed at her home, andwould also pass on a wireless watermeter if it was offered.
“This is a toxin. It’s an invisible,environmental pollutant. It’s not safe,”St. Clair said, adding that in May 2011the World Health Organization has list-ed microwave radio frequency radiationas a possible cause of cancer.
Asked what she felt the potentialhealth impacts could be, St. Clair saidfuture generations likely will pay theprice.
“Will it be us, personally? I thinkour children will be the ones who suf-fer the most as their immune systemsare developing. Science shows immunesystems are impacted by these expo-sures to chronic, long-term, low-levelexposure. I think our children will paythe ultimate price, probably in furtherlow fertility, early onset of dementia andcancers, immune system challenges.”
Homeowners who’ve had the newmeters installed have benefitted fromlower annual bills, Townsend said. Plus,on average, the environment has ben-efitted, too, through lower consumption.
“The flat rate for water is $571 fora single family home, and typically ...that’s dropped to $291,” Townsend said.

Buildings can too often be taken forgranted, as we bustle through them either in ahurry to get inside or escape outside.
However, a regional company hasbeen recognizing extraordinary construc-tion projects for the past 25 years. Thisyear, three such buildings in Richmondhave received Silver Awards of Excellenceby the Vancouver Regional ConstructionAssociation (VRCA).
Samuel Brighouse elementary school,Aberdeen Square and Richmond Centre FoodCourt Relocation racked up a total of sevenawards — Brighouse and Aberdeen with twoeach, Richmond Centre with three.
“It’s important to recognize these projects,and they’re usually landmark projects thatwe’re in and out of every day,” said VRCAinterim president Jan Robinson.
The projects will be recognized at the 25th
Annual VRCA Awards of Excellence galadinner in October, where a Silver Award win-ner from each category will be chosen as aGold Award winner.
When deciding on recipients, a projectreview committee follows certain criteriaincluding whether the projects were deliveredon time and on budget, challenges they hadto overcome and safety records.
“The quality is important, especiallyfor sustainability,” said Robinson. “I knowBrighouse had some great elements.”
Thirty-eight projects entered the awardsthis year, according to Robinson.
Brighouse received two awards forGeneral Contractor up to $15 Million andSustainable Construction; Aberdeen SquareExpansion for General Contractor over $40Million and Chairman’s Trade; and RichmondCentre Food Court Relocation for GeneralContractor $15 TO $40 Million, ElectricalContractor up to $2 Million and MechanicalContractor up to $3 Million.

EDITORIAL OPINION
The horrifying news this weekend about two young boyskilled by a pet python that escaped its enclosure raisesmany questions.
Foremost among them has to be why and how such a danger-ous, exotic and undomesticated creature was ever in such a posi-tion to begin with.
Ownership of exotic animals is regulated by a patchwork ofregulations across the country. In many places, including B.C.,such creatures are banned.
It’s not hard to see why. Animals like the African rock pythonand its ilk are potentially deadly.
They do not make good pets.Most people would not be equipped to control them. Just how
and why such an animal was allowed to exist in a retail store isimpossible to fathom.
Of course, just because certain exotic creatures are banned inmany jurisdictions doesn’t mean they don’t exist there.
Some animals live a long time, while bans are relativelyrecent. And almost anything is available online.
Some people are attracted to the idea of a dangerous anduncommon animal — in the same way some social misfits liketo channel their attitudes through ownership of vicious dogs.
Nobody has the right, however, to endanger others — or theirenvironment.
Exotics of many types fall into those categories. Those whohave them should be subject to stringent controls — and inspec-tions.
It doesn’t take much thought to figure out that animals whichmust be kept behind double-locked doors don’t belong in a petstore or a private home — or anywhere else remotely similar.

The weather is a lotlike politics — what youwant most is mostly whatwe don’t have... right now.
We just went throughseveral weeks of some ofthe hottest, driest weatheron record.
In fact, depending onhow you measure it (andprecisely where you takeyour measurements), wemay just have had the dri-est July ever in the LowerMainland. Indeed, not adrop of rain was recordedthroughout the entiremonth in any officialrecording station in theimmediate vicinity.
And Vancouver alsobroke its previous recordfor hours of sunshine inJuly — which I wouldexpect translates to asimilar record for the restof us in the outlying hin-terlands.
And let’s be clear aboutthis: the record brokenwas for the MOST hoursof sunshine in a singleJuly — 410 hours of sunpeeking from behind pre-viously ubiquitous clouds,veritably smashing the old409.3-hour mark set in1985.
Imagine that! SunnyVancouver! (DavidDuchovny, eat your heartout!) You’d think such arecord would make peoplehappy — ecstatic, even— especially consideringthat, like Mr. Duchovny(he’s the fellow who hadthe entire X-Files showtransported south toescape our supposedlydreary climes, remem-
ber?) complaining aboutthe incessant rain, rain,rain is one of our favouritepastimes.
In fact, I heard a lot ofpeople were complainingabout the hot, hot, hotwith no respite — way toohot.
Admittedly, I rarelyheard a single complaintabout it having been toodry (except from thoseunfortunates among us —myself included — whodepend on groundwaterand a dug well for oursustenance and to feedthe gardening monkey wecarry on our backs).
But the heat? Way toodarned hot! Until today.
When I woke up lastFriday morning, the firstthing that I noticed wasthat the fan blowing airinto my bedroom window,was blowing cool air —almost wintery, by recentstandards.
And when I lookedout, I rejoiced! There waswater falling from the sky— only a little bit, at first,but it picked up momen-tum, and soon therewas a veritable deluge.The plants in my gardenheaved a collective sigh ofrelief.
The lawn began turninggreen again, almost imme-
diately.But when I made
my way from the netherreaches of my backyardand into the clutches ofcivilized company, thestory was suddenly dif-ferent.
Complaints of “waytoo darned hot” hadalready reverted to: “Waytoo darned cold, way toodarned wet — why don’twe ever get a real summeraround here?”
The very people whohad only days earliervociferously complainedof hot, sticky, sweat-stained T-shirts and noway to escape from thesun’s harsh ultra-violetrays assaulting us withthreats of deadly cancerswere now bemoaning thefickle — dreary-again— climate that routinelydrenches our landscapesand drowns our dreamsof natural tans... whichwe all avoid when the sundoes make its occasionalappearance.
There’s no pleasing us.We are a species of com-plainers. I said the weatheris like politics? Actually,it’s our perception of theweather that is like ourperception of politics.
Whatever we have rightnow isn’t good enough— we want it to be some-thing better, by tomorrow.
And if tomorrowcomes with any kind ofchange... it’s never asgood as it was.

The Editor,Re: “Richmond deserves better answers,” Letters, July
26.I was disappointed to read the recent letter from Ramesh
Ranjan, laying various accusations at the feet of our localMLAs John Yap and Teresa Wat.
Much like the other opposition parties upset at the resultof the May election, Mr. Ranjan is now trying to throwmud drier than Richmond’s ground after a July full of sun.
There’s nothing new or earth-shattering in his claims.It’s been investigated, publicly reported, and action wastaken by the government to fix it.
In fact, it was a key discussion point in the last election— which the BC Liberals won handily.
There’s one other thing that comes to mind here. Mr.Ranjan is on record as recently serving as the communica-tions director for the Richmond-Steveston BC Conservativecandidate in the last election.
It’s clear to me he’s trying to re-fight a vote conductedonly two months ago.
The voters have spoken.It’s time to move on.

The Editor,Re: “‘Little guy’ wins traffic dispute in
Supreme Court,” News, July 31.It seems to me that an important driver
responsibility has been obscured by Mr. PeterKinach’s court success.
Don’t get me wrong — I am not unsym-pathetic. If he indeed executed a full stopat a “poorly placed” stop sign, I believe theRCMP officer could have exercised discre-tion and not issued a traffic ticket.
However, as a motorcyclist (and instruc-tor) who rides all year, I am acutely aware ofdrivers who simply do not see motorcyclesand who, among other things, treat stop signsas a suggestion; use yield signs to executedangerous traffic merges; use signals onlywhen doing so will not interfere with textingand who treat the first three seconds of a redtraffic light the same as a green light.
I consider these individuals as “averagedrivers,” who belong in one of three groups:never learned; have forgotten or simplyignore the rules of the road.
Riding a motorcycle in traffic is an exer-cise in risk management which can havesevere consequences if the risk is not man-aged appropriately.
Therefore, any driver who does not stop atthe correct stop point at an intersection repre-sents a significant hazard to a motorcyclist.
Similarly, if a motorcyclist fails to stopat the correct stop point, they have increasedtheir risk factor significantly.
In B.C., the correct stop point at intersec-tions with stop signs is clearly described inthe ICBC handbook Learn to Drive Smart(page 42). The stop sign is simply a “device”that tells a road user that a stop is required atthe intersection.
The actual stop point however — as Mr.Kinach found out — is somewhat irrespec-tive of the location of the sign and a “poorlyplaced” sign, in my opinion, does not absolvedriver responsibility to know the correct stoppoint at an intersection with a stop sign.
The judge (who is most likely an averagedriver) agreed with Mr. Kinach’s argumentand the ticket was “thrown out.”
My concern is the decision could be usedto deflect driver responsibility to know andfollow the rules of the road regardless of“poorly placed signs.”
For Mr Kinach, I would hope his experi-ence would give him pause to consider areview of the ICBC booklet to possibly avoida “poorly placed” traffic light or some other“poorly placed” traffic control device thatcould result in something much more costlythan a traffic ticket or legal costs.

A10 August 9, 2013 The Richmond News
Several decades of Steveston’s fishinghistory will be condensed into 90 min-utes during the theatrical production of
Salmon Row.Taking place at the Britannia Shipyards
National Historic Site from Aug. 15 to Sept.1 and first presented by Vancouver-basedperformance arts company Mortal Coil in2011, producer and general manager MariettaKozak calls it a “large scale spectacle piece.”
“It’s our second production using site-specific spectacle-based techniques. We usemasks, puppets, stilts, that kind of large, largescale as opposed to small TV-sized stuff,”said Kozak.
In fact, stilt work was what Mortal Coilmainly started out doing when it was formedin 1991. Now, they are best known for 2008’sinterdisciplinary piece Letters from Lithuaniastaged in Stanley Park, where they also devel-op and run the Halloween Ghost Train andChristmas Bright Nights events every year.
With Salmon Row, Kozak said people canexpect a similar infusion of music and chore-ography with heavy narrative weaved in.
The show starts off in front of the historicsite, then the audience moves along withthe cast of 30 actors, dancers and musiciansto various iconic areas inside, such as theboardwalk, the Chinese bunkhouse and theMurakami house and boat works.
“The story speaks a lot about what theEuropeans did when we first got here,” saidKozak.
“What was interesting to us was theexploiting of resources, and how societybuilds itself afterwards. It’s the same as thelogging industry — exploitation creates com-plex relationships between the people.
“There is stuff around unions and labour,ethnic politics and what happened when thefish dried up.”
The original run of Salmon Row two yearsago sold out in four days, something Kozakattributes to how many groups the perfor-mance touches.
From the late 19th to mid-20th centuries,the fishing community in Steveston washome to First Nations, Caucasians, Japaneseand Chinese, all of which are represented inthe performance.
“People really responded to the storiesbeing told. It was about them, their experi-ences and about their families. It really spoketo the citizenry.”
The idea first popped onto her radar whensomeone suggested Britannia as a potentialplace to develop a production around.
She and husband Peter Hall, who is alsoMortal Coil’s co-artistic director, visited thesite and “felt it was fantastic.”
After a few meetings with the City ofRichmond, the company received the greenlight and then went on to raise the $250,000through government grants needed to puteverything together.
Kozak said she was thrilled when thecity approached her to put on the play for asecond time. This year’s remounting remainsclose to the original with some tightening ofthe script and all but five of the original castmembers returning.
Born in Kelowna, playwright NicolaHarwood was about as far removedfrom the historical trials and tribula-
tions of Steveston Village as possible withinB.C.
That hasn’t stopped the 53-year-old writer,producer and actor from tackling a projectthat piqued her interest.
“It was all new to me. I’ve looked at B.C.history and Interior stuff before, and I wasfascinated with the early his-tory of central B.C. But I hadn’treally looked at the coast,” saidHarwood, who now lives inVancouver and has been in thetheatre business since the early1980s.
She first partnered withMortal Coil during their initialcollaboration, Letters of Lithuania, whichexplored issues of family history and discrim-ination during the Second World War.
Harwood said she is fascinated by tidbitsof knowledge from the past that many nativeBritish Columbians never learned and simplyaren’t aware of, like early legislation imple-mented to secure White supremacy in theprovince.
This is just one of the topics she wanted toexplore in Salmon Row.
“It’s through the characters, their persever-
ance and the resource itself — the salmon’sclassic struggle up the river trying to getpast the nets and trying to maintain their lifecycle,” said Harwood.
“And then there’s the humans trying tomaintain their life cycle. A big metaphorwe play with is that there’s always levels ofpredatory energy that’s going to block therun, you’re not going to make it to your desti-nation in life.
“You see what got thrown up at theAboriginal communities, theJapanese community and theChinese community, as they tryto make their way in the neweconomy. Humans are engagedin a similar struggle as theymake their way.”
Through two years ofin-depth research, Harwood
devised the script that follows four or fivestory arcs.
“We joke it’s kind of like a TV series. Youget attached to a character and there’s anotherfour that have an arc in place. That’s whatworks really well, there’s a narrative that youfollow over time.”
Although mostly fiction, the play is basedon real events and places.
There is a part that focuses on Ling Lam,the proprietor of Richmond’s first supermar-ket, the Hong Wo General Store, that she
came up with after discovering the exhibitat the Gulf of Georgia Cannery NationalHistoric Site.
Harwood also became inspired afterwatching a video and seeing photographs ofThe Iron Chink at the cannery, the big redmachine that replaced Chinese fish butchers,and wrote in a scene where it is representedby an blade-wielding actor dressed in all red.
The rest of her research revolved aroundtouring and meeting with staff at theBritannia Shipyards, digging into books andarchives, as well talking to people with ties tothat era.
“One woman I interviewed told me a storyabout her father,” said Harwood.
“She grew up in Steveston and there wasone memory about her father never learningto swim who was a Japanese fisherman. Hesaid, ‘There is one inch of cedar between meand hell,’ and we managed to use that line inthe show.”
The biggest challenge that Salmon Rowdirector Peter Hall has encounteredso far during production has simply
been ensuring that Steveston’s heritage getsdepicted the best way possible.
“I think the process was quite complex totry and corral the stories that we wanted totell into a cohesive whole that covered them

This year marks the 10th annual RichmondMaritime Festival taking place at the BritanniaHeritage Shipyards from Aug. 9 to 11.
And the City of Richmond has been hard atwork restoring the 60-year-old Seine Net Loft onthe Britannia property.
Once used in the construction and repair of fish-ing boat nets — the loft will be officially unveiliedto the public, said program facilitator KimberlyBaker.
“We’re doing the Voices of Britannia — the peo-ple, the stories and the future. We have a lifeboatthat we’ve gotten a canvas cover made for it, andwe’re inviting the community to paint on it theirthoughts, feelings and impressions of Britannia,”said Baker.
Visitors can wander the 2,000-square-foot build-ing and see the large interactive art installation fea-turing fishing props and archived pictures.
“There are nets suspended from the ceilingwith photographs streaming down of visitors overthe years, and the people who lived and worked atBritannia.”
People will also have a chance to learn aboutthe Lubzinski brothers. Jack and Joseph Lubzinskistarted a marine products company in 1951 making
wooden steering wheels for boats all over the world,and the original equipment they used will be ondisplay.
Fenwick said there will be volunteers on thegrounds and in the other buildings telling tales andtalking about the history of Britannia, such as howthe shipyard building was built in 1889.
“It was originally Britannia Cannery up untilbasically 1917. There was the Hell’s Gate disasterin 1912 — they were putting in a railroad track andusing explosives to get rid of rock and it caused alandslide into the Fraser River. That year, salmonwere coming home to spawn and it blocked theirpath that virtually devastated the area for salmonfishing. Many canneries closed down.”
At the time, the 49 or so canneries that werestrewn along the river were repurposed for otherindustries in 1917.
“They were such great buildings and men couldwork under covered areas. This one was changedinto a shipyard.
The Anglo-British Columbia Packing Companyused it to repair their fishing fleet that went out toother areas to fish for species other than salmon.”
You can learn about all this and more at the fes-tival, which includes an appearance from tall shipLady Washington, running from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.the entire weekend. For more information visit thewebsite or call 604-718-8050.

FESTIVAL
all,” said Hall.A big part of doing so was finding the
right cast members. Hall said his companyengaged in “colourblind” casting, to honourthe various ethnicities that came to workduring turbulent times and who continue towork and contribute to the North Americaneconomy today.
“We have an array of First Nations fromCree this year and we have a new actress,she’s Inuit. We also have Asian actors thatrange from Japanese to Korean. We have
Korean playing Chinese, we have Chineseplaying Japanese, we have Cree playingMusqueam.”
Integral to the process is also choos-ing the right music, which is why Hall saidSalmon Row features all original music byCanadian composer Tobin Stokes who isknown for his work in opera and classicalmusic. He has also composed several scoresfor television, an experience which will per-fectly complement the scenes in the play that“turn on edge and become surreal.”
“Stilt figures appear metaphorically
— we have a martial arts battle with whatis familiarly known as the Iron Chink, themachine that replaced Chinese workers,”said Hall.
“We have a character on stilts playingthe machine, and he has a battle with twoChinese workers fighting with Chineseswords. That sort of combination of spec-tacle and text is so the audience never knowswhat they can expect next.”
He called the Britannia site very “evoca-tive” and allows for organic transitionsbetween the play’s many acts.
At the beginning, people gather just out-side the shipyards where they are greetedby a First Nations drum troupe. Weavingthrough the property, the show eventuallyends with a funeral at the Murakami house.
Officially opening on Aug. 16, showsstart at 8 p.m. rain or shine at the BritanniaHeritage Shipyards at 5180 Westwater Dr.
Tickets, $16 for adults, $13 for students/seniors and $8.50 for children 12 and under,are available at the Gateway Theatre (6500Gilbert Rd.) or online at www.gatewaythe-atre.com.

Sir William Lyons wouldbe pleased, but likely per-
plexed at the same time withthe arrival of the 2014 F-Type roadster.
Under his reign, Jaguar’sfounder oversaw the cre-
ation of numerous sportsmachines, culminatingwith E-Type (marketed asthe XKE on our shores),regarded as one of the mostspectacularly gorgeous carsever produced.
The two-place E-Typeconvertible and its hatch-back sibling went on sale in1961 and enjoyed a 10-yearrun.
Now, four decades laterand 28 years since SirWilliam’s death, the Britishautomaker’s current minder,India’s Tata Group, hassigned off on a fresh road-ster.
Anyone expecting an E-Type renaissance might bedisappointed, but Jaguar’sstylists have configureda handsome piece thatblends elements of BMW’sZ4, Maserati Cabrio andMercedes-Benz SL-classconvertibles.
The result isn’t E-Typesleek, but its shape is morepurposeful, in a Teutonicsort of way. There’s even aEuro-style active rear spoilerof a type pioneered byPorsche and Mercedes-Benz(and others) that deploysonce the F-Type has reached100 km/h, then retracts oncethe roadster’s speed dropsbelow 65 km/h.
The only real excess is apair of bulging rear fendersthat taper into the rear deckfitted with eye-slit taillights.
When the weather turnsbad, the F-Type’s clothtop returns to its latchedand locked position in 12seconds while the vehicleis traveling up to 50 km/h,which of course means youdon’t have to completely
come to a stop in the middleof traffic, in the middle of adownpour.
The F-Type’s interior isalso a clean-scape designdominated by highly legiblespeedometer/tachometerdials and a trio of rotaryknobs that operates the cli-mate control system.
One neat trick is a setof air vents atop the multi-function touch-screen info-tainment unit that pop upwhen manually activated orwhenever the automatic cli-mate system calls for addi-tional heating or cooling.
Finally, the shapely F-Type seats are based onthose installed in the high-performance (and larger)Jaguar XKR-S model andactually don’t require thecar’s occupants to be overlysvelte to squeeze betweenthe bolsters.
Pushing the start but-ton fires up one of threeengines. Base F-Types arefitted with a supercharged3.0-litre V6 (a derivative ofJaguar’s 5.0-litre V8 and anengine that’s also used inthe XJ and XF sedans) thatmakes a respectable 340horsepower.
According to Jaguar, itwill push the F-Type to 60mph (96 km/h) in a quick5.3 seconds.
The F-Type S gets a 380-horsepower version of 3.0that cuts that time to 4.9 sec-onds. The real performancecat is the F-Type V8S withits supercharged 5.0-litre V8that delivers 495 horsepowerand can reel off zero-to-60-mph sprints in a mere 4.3seconds.

Drive Time
Each powerplant is fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission that operateswith a stubby pistol-grip console-mountedshifter or by the steering-wheel-locatedpaddles.
The transmission also signals the engineto “blip” the throttle (called rev matching)for smoother transitions between gears whendownshifting. There are rumors that a six-speed manual gearbox is not far off, but sofar Jaguar is mum on the subject.
Jaguar has always declared war on power-robbing weight and consequently makesextensive use of aluminum in the F-Type’sconstruction, including the front and rear sus-pension. The basic body shell alone tips thescales at a mere 260 kilograms and the entire
car has been kept to about 1,600 kilogramsKnowing that sports car owners love
those seductive under-hood sounds, Jaguaroffers an optional active exhaust system thatincreases the volume as the revs increase.and directs the melody into the cabin for allto hear.
F-Type pricing starts at $78,300 for thebase V6 and spikes into low-six-figure terri-tory for the V8S. At that point, the roadsternearly trips over the base price of Jaguar’s385-horsepower XK convertible with itslarger cockpit.
Ultimately it will be the F-Type’s playfuldemeanor and exceptional performance thatwill win over sports car lovers, features thatSir William Lyons would likely have whole-heartedly endorsed.

A20 August 9, 2013 The Richmond News
As soon as his handspicked up his first guitar, 17-year-old Neil Legaspi knewwhat he wanted to do.
“I knew that music was
going to be a part of my lifeat that moment,” said theMcRoberts graduate, remem-bering that time five yearsago.
“I just didn’t know it wasgoing to be thisbig.”
Since then,Legaspi hasstrummed hisway through per-formances andcompetitions inRichmond suchas RichCity Idol and theDiversity Talent Show.
Now, the songwriter isgearing up to take the stageas a PNE Star Showdownsemi-finalist in the youthdivision, after making it pastthe auditions.
This year’s showdown fol-lows a “more intensified for-mat” than previous years andis conducted over four days,between Aug. 17 and 21 withdaily prizes for first, secondand third place.
Hosted by The Beat 94.5,
there will be $10,000 in priz-es, plus more than $22,000in New Image CollegeScholarships.
“My friend did it a fewyears ago and said it was
tough, so that mademe really nervous,”said Legaspi, eyeswidening. “But Ialways get nervousbefore I perform.Once I’m on stagethough, it’s justreally fun.”
Legaspi comes by histrade honestly, as he grew upwith a musician for a father,constantly heading out fornighttime gigs at clubs.
Both father and son per-form in the same band atchurch, while the youngerLegaspi is also part of anoth-er band.
“I like music because itgives me a way of showingpeople who I am and whatI’m like,” he said. “It’s mypassion. I practise every day.”
Legaspi finds inspiration
through the people aroundhim and his own life, aswell as, from popular musi-cians such as John Mayer,Ed Sheeran and Marianna’sTrench.
Although becoming asuccessful musician is hisprimary goal, he’ll also beattending Douglas Collegethis fall for music technologyand production.
“That’s another one of thereasons why I’m doing this,”he said.
“If I win, the money willpay for college since moneyis tough for my family. It’llalso allow me to buy somerecording equipment.”
Legaspi’s division willperform at the PNE onSunday, Aug. 18 from 1:30to 2:30 p.m. at the ChevroletPerformance Stage in CentralPark at the Fair. He will do acover of Eric Johnson’s Cliffsof Dover.

A silver lining season for RoadrunnersLacrosse team reaches provincial podium for the first time in three trips, falling to Maple Ridge in final
Greg Rennie was bang on withhis pre-season forecast althoughit came at the expense of his ownteam.
Back in May, the head coach ofthe Richmond Roadrunners pre-dicted the Maple Ridge Burrardswould be the team to beat this sea-son in the B.C. Intermediate “A”Lacrosse League. That prognosisbecame a reality on Monday whenthe Burrards used home flooradvantage to double Richmond12-6 in the gold medal game.
It was the Roadrunners’ onlyloss of the B.C. Day Weekend asthey opened the tournament witha huge 9-8 win over the Burrards,then clinched a spot in the finalwith a 7-3 victory over Coquitlambefore toppling Victoria 10-5.
The difference in the rematchwith Maple Ridge was the secondperiod as the hosts solved standoutgoalie Ryland Hood and pulledaway with seven unansweredgoals.
“Maple Ridge is a good teamwith a lot of talent,” said Rennie.“It was one of those tough thingsthat just happens and unfortunate-ly it was in a gold medal game.We hit the post when it was 6-4
and that might have at least swungthe momentum. We just couldn’tget any breaks.”
The Roadrunners finishedsecond in the regular season thenwere extended to a deciding game
in their qualifying series againstLangley after a surprising gametwo loss. The setback, however,served a purpose as the teamdominated game three then rolledthrough round-robin play in pro-vincials.
It was Richmond’s first podiumfinish in three consecutive appear-ances at the B.C. championshipsdespite winning regular seasontitles in 2011 and 2012.
“That Langley series was prob-ably the best thing that could ofhappened to us,” said Rennie ofthe playoff wake-up call. “It’s niceto finally come away with a medalalthough we sure wanted gold.”
Under Rennie, the Roadrunnershave a sparkling 48-12 recordin three seasons worth of leagueand playoff action which has ledto a lot of speculation he will bereturning to the junior “A” coach-ing ranks next season where hehas enjoyed previous success inDelta.
“It’s really up in the air whatI am going to do,” said Rennie.“This is an outstanding organiza-
tion to be part of. I don’t knowreally how much farther I can takeit but I sure would have liked tohave gone out with a provincialchampionship.
“What I’m most proud of is thenumber of players who have gonethrough and are now excellingat the next level. That’s the mostimportant thing and why playerswant to come to Richmond.”
League scoring champion andfirst team all-star Tyler Vogrig hada hat trick and two assists in thegold medal game. Tavin Grant,Braeden Jensen and Wyatt Kinnaalso scored.
Josh McLaughlin, Vogrig andJensen each scored twice in theopening win over the Burrards,while Patrick Szabo earned gameMVP honours. Against Coquitlam,McLaughlin’s hat trick earned himthe MVP award.
Chandler Bradley was GameMVP against Victoria thanks tohis four goal performance. WyattKinna and Tysen Stoddart addedtwo each. Spencer Bromley andBrad Hoffman also scored.
