ELECTION 2014

New party aims to topple BCA machineWanda [email protected]

It appears the new Burnaby First Coalition has one distinct difference when it’s compared with the longtime incumbents, the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA).

That’s simply that they’re not the BCA.

The BCA, of course, is the party that has held the majority on city council and school board since the 1980s. It’s the party that swept all civic seats two elections in a row, giving it a monopoly in Burnaby municipal politics since 2008.

Burnaby First will try to change that.

Its candidates and supporters are a diverse lot. Several have ties to the Conservatives, Liberals, Greens, New Democrats, Team Burnaby and Burnaby Parents Voice while others have always been independent and never belonged to a party.

The party’s mayoral candidate, Daren Hancott, had been seeking the federal Conservative nomination in Burnaby-Douglas before deciding to run for office at the municipal level.

Burnaby Neighbourhood House moves into new facility near Metrotown: host open house Oct. 26Mario [email protected]

“Sometimes I still have to pinch myself.”

For Antonia Beck, executive director of Burnaby Neighbourhood House, it’s still sinking in how much space they have at their new space next to Metrotown. And how well equipped it is.

“Before, we were stifled,” said Beck of the old Neighbourhood House, which was vacated at the beginning of September.

After 15 years crammed into a warren of rooms and offices in an old wedge-shaped building at Imperial and Jubilee, the new 8,500-square-foot digs are part of the community amenity space in the podium of a soaring new condo tower on Beresford.

The space was made available by the building’s developer, Intracorp, as part of a deal with the City of Burnaby for increased density.

That’s all just bureaucratic buzz to Beck. All she knows is that her staff finally has space to move and put on the kind of programming that

doesn’t involve converting a daycare in the morning to a computer classroom in the evening to storage overnight.

And what’s more, they’ll also be able to host community celebrations like dinners and potlucks in the expansive banquet room that can seat more than 140 guests, with its own fully equipped commercial kitchen.

The new facility includes a dedicated area for children’s care programs like the popular parent-child drop-in, a lounge for youth and seniors, a classroom for computer and ESL lessons, meeting alcoves and even a spot for stroller parking.

The party is made up of different political views and independent thinkers coming together to give Burnaby voters “a democratic choice,” Hancott said.

“Because of the diverse views it takes us a little while to develop policy. That’s why we’ve been working every week for the last seven months.”

Hancott says it’s that diversity that the party believes should be required to make city policies to begin with. “It’s a lot of hard work, negotiating, there’s give and take on the issues,” he said of bringing the breadth of views into one position.

With 77 per cent of eligible voters not casting ballots in 2011, “we’re trying to give people a reason to vote.”

Hancott said the party is still working on its platform and policies but has made some conclusions.

“The biggest two issues we’re hearing is taxation is too high and there’s too much waste.”

Burnaby First believes it can do more with less, he said. It also wants to provide more consultation, transparency and debate on significant issues.

He said if elected, the party would regularly hold town hall meetings. “There’s nothing wrong with sitting down and

talking to people. Whey do they need to come to you and do a presentation?”

Burnaby city hall also needs to do more to encourage job creation in the city, Hancott said.

While there are many construction jobs at developments in the city, such work is short-term and “what happens if interest rates go up two or three per cent?”

The party would also review all bylaws to update them as necessary. It would do a core review of all city departments and budgets. “We’re always taking in more money than we need. It just goes to Burnaby reserves and nothing seems to happen.”

From what Hancott has heard, “It’s loud and clear that people want change. The question is, can we get enough of them out

[voting] on Nov. 15?”As for the BCA, the

party is affiliated with the NDP and BCA members must also be members of that party.

But, stressed BCA Coun. Pietro Calendino, “we don’t always agree with them … we have certain principles and values that we share.”

Calendino said the current council is “totally transparent” with its council meetings televised, and the city’s budgets and other information on its website. On major projects in the city, a set public consultation process is followed.

“The only people I ever heard [complaining] about

not enough consultation has been [Burnaby First] in a time of politics.”

And while Burnaby has an impressively large reserve in the $600 million range, Calendino noted that it’s not money that’s allowed to be used for operating costs. That is all money set aside for the future replacement of capital, everything from new vehicles to recreation facilities.

Each year the city spends upwards of $30 million to replace aging sewer and water lines. It’s a 100-year program, so by the time it’s finished, the city will have to start again.

In fact, he added, several years ago the provincial government began requiring that municipalities start putting money away for the

eventual replacement of all its infrastructure. That’s something Burnaby was already doing since the 1970s.

“So if they’re going to play fast and loose with cash, they’ve got to ask themselves, what will we do in the future?”

The city funds the Burnaby Board of Trade to work with businesses and encourage them to locate in Burnaby, Calendino said. But job creation doesn’t go hand-in-hand with cutting taxes.

“They’ve got to make up their mind. You either start cutting spending or they want job creation. If they

want job creation, they’ve got to spend.”

As for taxes, he stressed that any cuts in taxes would mean a cut in services, from parks and streets not being maintained as they were,

to recreation services reduced and city staff laid off.

“Yes, we can freeze property taxes but how much of the services do you want to lose?”

Calendino cited the BCA’s long tenure

in office and its members’ experience in running a city as its main selling point.

The competition’s assertion that people want change is “not a new slogan, it’s been there forever,” brought out against longtime incumbents whenever they run for re-election, he said.

“The voters have to ask themselves, a change for what?”


Help restore local habitat

The Lower Mainland Green Team and City of Burnaby are inviting people to help out with a habitat restoration project Sunday, Oct. 19 from 2 to 5 p.m.

The event goes rain or shine and people are to meet at the cul-de-sac at the end of Fraser Park Drive, off Tillicum Street (see map at http://bit.ly/1ttS5MZ).

Volunteers will remove the invasive plant Scotch broom. No experience is necessary, and tools, gloves and refreshments will be provided.

Earlier that same day, from 9:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., a similar event will be held in Lower Hume Park in New Westminster where invasive plants will be removed and native plants and trees will be planted.

The B.C. Centre for Ability, the YMCA Child Care Resource Centre and the National Congress of Black Women also have offices within the facility.

Since moving in, Beck and her staff and volunteers have been spreading their arms in their new surroundings and allowing themselves to dream of future programs.

“We’ve built a lot of capacity,” said

Beck. “Now we can make our ideas happen.”

While Beck is still learning the multitude of keys needed to access all the rooms and offices spread over three floors, she’s determined to keep the new environs feeling like a welcoming space for the community to gather. After all, that’s the mandate of Burnaby Neighbourhood House.

“Our hope is that it’s a home away

from home,” said Beck. “It’s a structure where people can meet

and connect.”

• The housewarming party for Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s Metrotown location is Sunday, Oct. 26, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 4460 Beresford St. There will be tours of the new facility, information about programming, a pumpkin patch, food and activities for all ages.

Handful of independents among candidates from two main partiesWanda [email protected]

The field of candidates vying for the mayor of Burnaby’s job includes a very familiar face, and competition that includes newcomers and previous also-rans.

Four-term Mayor Derek Corrigan of the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) leads the race as he tries for a fifth term, the first to last four years instead of three under new civic election rules. The last two elections, in 2008 and 2011, the BCA has swept all seats for mayor, council and school board.

Trying to stop that run of success is businessperson Daren Hancott, mayoral candidate for the new Burnaby First Coalition.

Then there are four independents aiming for the top job in the city.

Candidate Sylvia Gung also

ran for mayor in 2011, finishing fourth and last with 850 votes.

Allen Hutton, who was also a 2011 mayoral candidate, has thrown his hat in the ring again. The last time around, he finished in third with 1,600 votes or 4.9 per cent.

Helen Hee Soon Chang is running for mayor for the first time but she’s been a regular Burnaby candidate in past elections. Chang was elected in 2005 and served one term on school board as a member of

Team Burnaby. She ran

unsuccessfully for school trustee in 2008 as an independent and in 2011 with the Burnaby Greens.

This time, she’s going for the mayor’s job, again as an independent.

A new name to Burnaby politics is Raj Gupta, a Vancouver realtor who is in the running to be the mayor of Burnaby. And New Westminster councillor. And Vancouver school trustee.

A handful of independents are also aiming to win seats on Burnaby council and school

board. Jeff Kuah is running for

council. He previously ran unsuccessfully for school board under Team Burnaby in 2011 and as the BC Liberal candidate in Burnaby-Edmonds in 2013.

Former 2011 Team Burnaby mayoral candidate Tom Tao isn’t giving up on trying to get into office. He’s running for council again as an independent after losing elections as an independent council candidate in 2002 and 2008 and as an independent mayoral candidate in 2005.

For school board, the lone independent candidate is Elias Ishak. His bio states: “Compulsory government indoctrination and conditioning is not a real education. … Oh, how the students suffer, like mice and monkeys in experiments beyond their control. … How can we bear this oppression any longer? … The issue is not at all related to funding, and modern students need now, more than ever, a modern student to represent them.”

Voters go to the polls on Nov. 15.

Word that more than 360,000 people across the world signed an online petition to save the life of a dog, owned by a Spanish nurse who was recently diagnosed with Ebola, puts the priorities of many people into perspective.

The dog, Excalibur, was killed by authorities who feared he might spread the virus, although he was never tested. That part of the story doesn’t make sense.

But the fact that so many people got worked up over one dog, while showing indifference to thousands of people who have lost their lives to Ebola, is deeply disturbing. The outbreak shows no sign of slowing.

It appears that many people in Europe and North America do not care a whit about the poor people of West Africa who are dying of this terrible disease.

Some protesters even gathered outside the Madrid apartment of the nurse, calling police who came to get the dog “assassins.” Are they suggesting that one dog’s life, whether the dog should have been killed or not, is more valuable than the almost 4,000 lives lost to this disease this year?

Do they care at all about the children who have lost their parents, and the health care

system in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, which has lost many of its workers? Bear in mind that the doctor to patient ratio in these countries, before Ebola struck, was one of the worst in the world. In Sierra Leone, it was three doctors per 100,000 people.

I’m more interested in this story than some Westerners, because we visited Sierra Leone last December. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, but people at the time we visited were optimistic as the economy was improving and the country was finally getting beyond a horrible civil war, which killed and maimed thousands, destroyed infrastructure and caused investors to flee. Jobs remain scarce, and there is rampant poverty, but the people we met were almost all optimists, and treated us very well.

My daughter has been travelling to Sierra Leone since

2008, and has set up a foundation there to assist young people in gaining university educations, as well as encouraging them to mentor others and run health education programs. Her foundation, The People’s Foundation of Sierra Leone, has received donations from interested North Americans.

While the Ebola situation in Sierra Leone isn’t quite as bad as it is in neighbouring Liberia, the hardest-hit country, it is nonetheless terrible. Schools are closed. Food is scarce and more expensive than usual. It is almost impossible to get any health treatment, as the few resources available are being used in the fight against Ebola.

Many foreigners and wealthy Sierra Leoneans have fled the country, and the consequence is that mostly poor people are left behind. Given the almost complete lack of sanitation and other basic services in the capital, Freetown, it is virtually impossible to stop the spread of the disease.

Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF), which many know as Doctors Without Borders, virtually stood alone in trying to combat this disease until recently.

The national government has helped somewhat, mainly by quarantining certain areas of the country and doing house-to-house checks to see if there were unreported Ebola victims, but the government is weak and poorly-funded. Corruption is also an ongoing problem.

I heard last week that a container of medical supplies was held up at the docks in Freetown for a month — almost certainly because a bribe was not forthcoming.

Maybe it is the complexities of getting meaningful help to people in West Africa that causes so many to ignore their plight.

I love dogs as much as anyone and am saddened that Excalibur lost his life. But I’m even more saddened that so many wealthy people (and that includes almost everyone in the First World) are so indifferent to the fate of our fellow human beings.

Those who really want to make a difference in fighting Ebola should consider making a donation to MSF. Its online address is http://www.msf.ca.

Harry Schneider was at Brentwood Town Centre last month and was going up the escalator when he saw these two men cleaning the canvas roof. The shadow man is standing directly on the canvas roof.‘Initially I thought that it was only one window cleaner who threw his shadow onto the canvas,’ he says. ‘But obviously the movements were not in sync between the visible man and the shadow.’

The province has asked residents to take part in discussions about improvements to the transportation system over the next 10 years.

While public consultation is always a good idea, the province’s On The Move document, which guides public discussion, is missing some key elements.

While it makes reference to BC Ferries and to the Metro Vancouver transit system, neither is part of the discussion the ministry wants to have.

Bridge tolls are completely ignored.

The guide asks participants a series of general questions which do not even mention ferries or tolls, and make just passing reference to transit.

This comes just a few weeks after the province’s approach to BC Ferries was roundly condemned by the Union of B.C. Municipalities, its report stating cuts to ferry service and increased fares have reduced B.C. economic activity by $2 billion.

As for transit within Metro Vancouver, mayors are putting together priorities for a referendum, slated for next spring.

While a great number of projects have been proposed, the means to pay for all these ambitious projects remains elusive.

It is obvious the province does not plan to give up any revenue, and property taxes to fund TransLink are already high.

Boosting the gas tax will just send more people south of the border.

Adding new taxes for more transit projects will be a tough sell, particularly given the state of the economy.

The province seems determined to whistle its way by these major concerns about transportation.

While there are many other priorities and public input is very helpful, ignoring several of the biggest transportation issues does not seem reasonable.

COMMENTModern tankers aren’t leaky Exxons of yesterdayRe: (Safety will be sacrificed on altar of profit, Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 15)

To my letter (How could these tankers spill any oil), one writer responded with his facts: One, the Titanic had double hull. Wrong; it had only a double bottom.

Two, the Exxon Valdez had a double hull. Wrong again; it had a single hull.

And that pretty well defines the validity of the rest of his cherry-picked arguments.

Another writer asked: How could Exxon Valdez hit a marked reef?

It did 25 years ago, but it would not hit it in Vancouver in 2014 where tankers are inspected for compliance with the international and Canadian regulations before loading, have a captain and two pilots on the bridge, are monitored by the port’s advanced airport-type guidance system and are escorted by tugboat.

And this system of checks and balances reflect the technological and regulatory advances in oil shipping in 2014, the system that has been designed to eliminate a possibility of human error and grounding, or collision of tankers with other ships.

TERRORISM/OIL CONNECTION NOT NONSENSE

Re: Faulty logic on pipeline/terrorism connection (Letters, NewsLeader, Oct. 10)

Letter writer Gord Larkin should stop trying to put words in other people’s mouths.

Ziggy Eckardt did not write nonsense.

You may recall that Eckardt wrote about what might happen if we stop developing Canada’s natural resources.

He stated that “The world is not going to stop using oil. Canada’s potential customers will simply keep buying it from their old suppliers in the Middle East.”

And he added that “Islamic terrorists are for the most part financed by oil producing Arab states.”

Larkin may call Eckardt’s contributions “mindless, harmless dribble,” but that

does not make them so. Let the readers sort out who is using common sense and who should go back to the drawing board.

Mayor Derek Corrigan’s rant back in January was directed at the province of British Columbia, but I have to wonder now whether it was not actually a subliminal expression of the BCA/NDP/Corrigan’s own ambition for Burnaby?

With our mayor spending unlimited public funds on fighting a legal battle over a pipeline in federal jurisdiction, and North Burnaby federal NDP MP Kennedy Stewart demanding that Kinder Morgan register as a third party advertiser in the municipal election, why not just declare Burnaby an independent state and His Worship can appoint himself President for Life?

With the globalization of communication and travel, perhaps we could propose a federation with Andorra, Liechtenstein, Vatican, and San Marino. We could contract the Vatican’s Swiss Guard to defend our borders, and impose duties on all incoming commodities—especially hydrocarbons—to pay for the bureaucracy which would then expand sufficiently for all of us to join.

Socialist utopia in one fell swoop!

CANDIDATES SHOULD NOT STRAYRe: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (BC Views, NewsLeader, Oct. 8)

Tom Fletcher’s column is the “Emperor has no clothes” moment for the upcoming civic elections. Voters should be wary of grandstanding politicians opining on issues outside municipal jurisdiction who

are either pandering for votes or ignorant of the areas over which they have real authority.

As a first proposition, cities, creatures of provincial jurisdiction, have no authority over inter-provincial pipelines involved in interprovincial transportation. No amount of “lawyering up” will do any good on this issue as the eminent domain of railways and pipelines involved in inter-provincial commerce lies with the federal authority.

Just like municipalities are creatures of provincial governments, The National Energy Board is a creature of the federal government and therefore has the appropriate jurisdiction.

We should not let municipal candidates stray from discussing issues they have legitimate authority, no matter how compelling they parade their social engineering goals.

OTHER AREAS COULD SUPPORT DENSITYRe: Station Square Phase 2 construction to employ 650 (NewsLeader, Oct. 15)

How come Metro Vancouver has not identified frequent transit development areas (FTDAs) at SkyTrain stations along the Millennium Line?

Sperling, Burnaby Lake, Lake City Way and Production Way-University SkyTrain stations are not identified as FTDAs? Rather than undemocratically foist all the density (and congestion) into one area, we should promote development at some of the other underutilized stations. There are other options.

Also, what is the median wage rate of these jobs? What happens once the job is over? How many of these workers can afford to live in Burnaby—let alone Metrotown?

Smoking behind the school gymnasium might get a student scolded today.

But in 1958 the four members of the band set to play senior prom at Springfield High School were banned because of their nicotine addiction.

Up stepped the Wonderettes, four friends and members of the school’s Songleader Squad, to save the show.

Ten years later they’re back for the school’s reunion. The individual stories of their lives in the intervening years are told through the pop songs of the era like It’s My Party, Mr. Sandman and Lipstick on Your Collar.

That’s the premise behind The Marvelous Wonderettes, the new musical being presented by Footlight Theatre Company at Burnaby’s Shadbolt Centre from Nov. 6-15.

Director Wayne Nolan said

even though the show is set almost 50 years ago, themes of hopes, dreams and heartaches are timeless.

This is Nolan’s first production since he moved west last year to escape the snowy winters of Ottawa, where he was involved with community theatre since 1980.

Though his migration coincided with his retirement, Nolan said the stage footlights still beckoned.

Footlight Theatre came through with an opportunity he couldn’t resist.

Originally a one-act production that debuted in Milwaukee in 1999, The Marvelous Wonderettes became a stage smash in New York and Los Angeles and won numerous awards.

Nolan credits that success to the show’s great music, pop tunes and ballads from the era.

“Audiences tend to like the nostalgia of the music,” said Nolan, who’s also now working with the Vagabond Players troupe in New Westminster.

The Marvelous Wonderettes is

a “jukebox” musical.Nolan said that means the

story is written around existing music from the era, rather than a traditional musical where original music is expected to advance the plot.

“The songs illustrate,” said Nolan.

“The audience can enjoy the songs without having to worry about what they do to the plot.”

The show’s cast features Katherine Alpen as Missy, Sabrielle McCurdy-Foreman and giggly Suzy, Carolyn Bergstrand as sultry Cindy Lou and Stefania Wheelhouse plays Betty Jean, the group’s comic relief.

Nolan said each member of the ensemble is strong enough to be a lead.

“They’re all triple threats,” said Nolan. “We couldn’t have been better blessed with how beautiful they sound.”

And their task wasn’t easy, as the play covers two very distinct eras of music, fashion and attitude.

“That’s a bit of a challenge, to age someone 10 years,” said Nolan.

Reforms aim to ease container hauling strifeJeff NagelBlack Press

The number of container truckers licensed to serve Port Metro Vancouver will be slashed and those who survive are being promised higher enforced pay as part of reforms to cement

labour stability and avoid any new strike disrupting trade.

B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Wednesday the province will legislate rates for container truckers, retroactively, and indicated the current number of 2,000 licensed trucks could drop to about 1,500.

Too many trucks now chase too few loads, according to Port Metro Vancouver planning vice-president Peter Xotta, causing “intense competition” between firms, insufficient work for truckers and undercutting on agreed rates.

Reducing the number of licensed operators is expected to create a better balance.

A 28-day strike by container truckers last spring ended

on government promises of a range of improvements, including minimum rates and compensation for long waits at terminals.

But unionized truckers had warned over the summer another strike was possible without enforcement of the rate floor to prevent undercutting by some trucking companies.

Truckers now licensed to haul containers in and out of container terminals will be invited by Port Metro Vancouver to apply for new licenses with mandatory performance bonds, damage deposits, driver sponsorship agreements and licence charges.

Port officials aren’t yet saying how they’ll decide who is in and who is out of the new licence system.

B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako said the new requirements aim to encourage responsible conduct and deter marginal operators who make the business more volatile.

“They want to set the financial barriers high enough that it reduces the likelihood that trucking companies are going to have a race to the bottom by reducing their rates and thereby reducing compensation to drivers,” Yako said.

Most BCTA members would much prefer unrestricted competition, she said.

But Yako said repeated strikes have spurred the senior governments to deviate from national policy and regulate for economic stability, not just safety and the environment.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

If you have to haul, do it in styleDEL MAR, California.It’s a quintessential SoCal (Southern California) morning.The marine layer is in full effect; blocking a would-be gorgeous sunrise. Yet that doesn’t stop avid sports enthusiasts from taking a run along the beach. Or taking to the water for some morning wave action.Nor does it stop couples from walking arm-in-arm, with their hands occupied by their morning coffee, and their midsize breed of pooch following close by. However, something does turn their heads.A host of all-new 2015 midsize trucks have them perplexed. They’ve nev-er seen these kinds of Canyons or Colorados gracing the streets before and wonder what all the commotion is about.Then again, it’s not uncommon to see midsized trucks in this part of the world. In fact, they’re a dime a dozen. Most are outfitted with surf racks, toolboxes or have gear loaded in the bed. They are put to good use.Anita Burke, GM’s chief vehicle engineer of midsize trucks, explained what makes this category of relatively small truck popular. The versatility and usability of these trucks appeal to small business owners, families or even outdoor lovers.

With a 12.5-metre turn-ing radius – which we put to the test when we want to make a U-turn to take some photos – it’s quite impressive. Furthermore, it’s the all-in-one midsize truck without compromise. It has the segment’s best horsepower thanks to two great engines. The first being a 2.5L, 4-cylinder with 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque, the next being a 3.6L, V6 with 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired to

a 6-speed automatic transmission; a 6-speed manual is available on select extended cab 2WD modelsCome 2015, a 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Die-sel is scheduled to join in the engine lineup.Want to tow a couple of dirt bikes, or mount a couple of kayaks on the rear? Sure! Not a problem. As I drove through Del Mar with a trailer hitched to the back that carried two incredibly clean dirt bikes, I barely felt they were there. The V6-endowed Chevy Colorado (or GMC Canyon) tows up to 3,175 kg (7,000 lbs.) with the trailering package, so it has ample oomph to get it up some tough grades without breaking a sweat.When you want to access the bed – regardless of trim – they all come with

a standard CornerStep rear bumper. You’ll also find 13 standard tie-down locations throughout the bed that you can use with available, movable cargo tie-down rings.Furthermore, the 2015 Colorado’s con-figurations are available in an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot bed and a crew cab with a 6-foot bed. With the tailgate down, the 6-foot bed allows hauling of 8-foot-long items.Even though both trucks are built on GM’s Global mid-size truck platform, they are targeted at two different buyers.The GMC Canyon has more upscale features and a lavish cabin – some-thing I wouldn’t have said before when it comes to midsize trucks – while the Colorado is more utilitarian in nature. No matter how you slice it, both of these trucks have impressive features.One is its quietness. Whether driving

the four or six-cylinder variants, no rattles, bangs or buzzing were heard. I actually couldn’t believe my ears as to how serene the cabin was. I guess the triple door seals are doing their job and doing it well.The transmission had a smoothness to it and the 8-inch touchscreen featuring Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free are a bonus.If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well. Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab. The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695).

Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country.Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that updated over 2000 parts on this latest sedan. The car is Toyota’s cornerstone in the United States, thanks in part to the associa-tion the brand and the car has with the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4.LooksWhen a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bum-per, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toy-ota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes. This is now a very nice looking car but from about fifty paces the new Camry looks very similar to the new Corolla, which was refreshed last year and is selling very well.

InsideInside, the refresh focuses more on ease of use and refined materials. The top of the dash is the only carry-over part, which is still a soft touch mate-rial with French stitching. What has been added is faux suede on the doors with the ability to get two-tone seats

in the Camry, also with faux suede, but the updated seats are only in the new XSE trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To ap-peal to younger intend-ers, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging sys-tem in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology. These are all welcome updates but the major

competitor for this car is the Honda Accord and the interior on that car is much more upscale and technologi-cally advanced, with two screens and a higher end feel.DriveNot just happy to make a more ap-pealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the

steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver. To highlight this, a stock off-the-showroom 2015 Camry, with regular tires was used at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for hot laps. With a pro NASCAR driver at the wheel, this new sedan easily navigated around the oval at speeds over 200 km/h. No fuss, no problem. Not something anyone in a road-going Camry will experience but a good demonstration.VerdictWhat haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp. Yes, this is known equipment and these engines have a proven record but with Honda and other providing direct injection engines and new slick transmissions, it might be safe to go with “tried and true” but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements. As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style.

Sticker price: $23.850-$34,550

New look, but also better ride and handling with the new Camry, Zack Spencer says.

The Terry Fox Ravens showed why they are the top-ranked AAA varsity football team in the province when they knocked off the No. 3 St. Thomas More Knights 38-9 at Burnaby Lake West Sports Complex last Friday.

STM actually scored first against the Port Coquitlam school when Shane Noel rushed 73 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage.

But the Ravens responded by rushing for 298

yards on 50 carries and scoring five touchdowns.Noel ended the game with 131 rushing yards.

Quarterback Terrell Jana had 150 all-purpose yards. His favourite target on the night was JJ Deslauriers, who had 86 yards in receptions including a touchdown.

The win leaves Terry Fox atop the Eastern Conference standings at 4-0 while STM is 3-1 (4-2 overall).

The Knights’ final three games are all on the road. They will travel to the Okanagan to take on the Kelowna Owls on Friday before going to Abbotsford to battle the W.J. Mouat Hawks Oct. 24 and Surrey to take on the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers Oct. 31.

• The Moscrop Panthers suffered their first loss of the AA season when they were beaten 38-6 by the Hugh Boyd Trojans in Richmond last Friday.

The Panthers will play host to the Seaquam Seahawks from Delta at Burnaby Lake West on Friday (Oct. 17) at 5 p.m.

• In AA Tier II play last Friday, the Burnaby Central Wildcats fell 18-6 to the Eric Hamber Griffins. Their next game will be against Hugh Boyd in Richmond on Friday, Oct. 24.

Top-ranked Ravens run over No. 3 Knights

Burnaby Central grad Madeline Hait helped the Simon Fraser University Clan women’s volleyball squad extend its win streak to three matches with two victories last week.

On Thursday (Oct 9), Hait had eight kills and two blocks as the Clan downed the Saint Martin’s Saints 25-11, 25-21, 26-24 in Lacey, Wash.

Two nights later in Monmouth Ore., she had two kills, a dig and five blocks as SFU defeated the Western Oregon Wolves 19-25, 25-17, 25-18, 25-22.

With the win the Clan are 12-5 overall and 6-3 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC).

The SFU volleyballers are continuing an upward trend. Last year the Clan were 11-13 overall and 6-12 in GNAC following a 4-22, 1-17 season in 2012.

• The SFU football team, still licking their wounds from a 66-12 loss to NCAA Division I Idaho State last week will play host to the South Dakota School of Mines Hardrockers at Swangard Stadium on Saturday, 1 p.m.

Maple Ridge has welcomed Morningstar Homes with open arms, already making its newest single-family home project, Robertson Heights, a huge success aft er just a few weeks.

“We recognized that today’s single-family home buyer is looking not only for quality and value, but innovation as well,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “We’ve taken the time to do our homework,

researching ideas that are fresh and new and re-creating them in a home where aff ordability is key.”

Ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet including unfi nished basements, the three- and four-bedroom homes include some pretty amazing features. Among them are vaulted ceilings, window seats and the gourmet kitchens that Morningstar is known for.

“We always strive to off er our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “In a market where many people consider single-

family home ownership out of reach, we’ve pleasantly surprised potential purchasers by providing not only an aff ordable home but one that is truly innovative with the bells and whistles you’d expect to see in a much larger home.”

Morningstar held their grand opening of Robertson Heights in late September, and sold 21 homes in the fi rst two weeks, making the neighbourhood one of the most successful yet. Calahan points out that the six furnished show homes give potential buyers the ability to look at all of their options before making the fi nal decision on which home to buy.

Robertson Heights is Morningstar’s second project in Maple Ridge. Th e fi rst, Th e Summit at Grant Hill, is already over 50 per cent sold out aft er opening just two months ago.

Homes at Robertson Heights start at $449,900 including GST. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-380-4708 or stop by the sales offi ce at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge, open daily except Friday between noon and 6 p.m.

Quality and value at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights

At Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, buyers won’t have to compromise on what they’re looking for in a new home.

“Th is is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “Th ere is defi nitely a demand for these homes.”

Harrison Highlands is just minutes from Harrison Lake, Mission, Agassiz and the Hemlock Valley Ski Resort, as well as several other opportunities for leisure and recreation.

“Sandpiper Golf Club and salmon and

sturgeon fi shing are only two minutes away!” says Stone.

Harrison Highlands recently celebrated its grand opening weekend, and the response was tremendous.

“Th is is the type of project that people have been waiting for,” Stone says.

Th ere are two distinct communities at Harrison Highlands: Woodside and Briarwood. Th e exclusive Briarwood homes are located in a gated area, though the home types are the same for both communities within the larger community of Harrison Highlands. Th ere are a variety of available

fl oorplans, including ranchers, one-and-a-half storey plans and two-storey homes, with two to four bedrooms.

Th e master-on-main fl oorplans have been particularly popular, Stone says. Two-thirds of the homes at Harrison Highlands will include this feature.

Th e Craft sman architecture off ers excellent curb appeal, while the expansive interiors feature nine-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows to allow the natural light to fl ood the home. European-made high-quality laminate fl ooring is featured throughout the main level, while gourmet-quality kitchens include maple cabinetry and elegant countertops (quartz in the Briarwood homes and laminate in the Woodside homes). Th e ensuite bathrooms in the master suite include dual sinks for added convenience, a relaxing soaker tub and a separate shower with tile surround and a frameless glass door. Homes

at Woodside include heated fl oors in the ensuite, while the Briarwood homes have in-fl oor heat in the master bedroom as well.

Th e community includes homes with parking for recreational vehicles, landscaped parks and natural trails with amazing river and mountain views.

“Th ere’s always something to see here,” Stone says. “Just check out our views!”

Future plans at Harrison Highlands include a neighbourhood commercial area for potential grocery stores, restaurants and other retail spaces.

“Th is is a fantastic place to raise a family,” Stone says.

Homes at Harrison Highlands start at $379,000, including GST. For more information, visit www.harrisonhighlands.ca or call toll-free 1-888-OUR-VIEW (687-8439). Th e presentation centre is open Friday to Sunday between noon and 5 p.m. at 1524 Woodside Boulevard in Kent.

Submitted photosStunning views are just one of the beautiful features at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands. Recreation opportunities are just minutes away, and the homes offer excellent curb appeal due to their Craftsman architecture.
