The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is investigating a suspicious death that occurred at a recovery house on Nanaimo Street on Tuesday.

Late Tuesday afternoon the blue Victorian house, as well as several neighbouring homes and walk-up apartment blocks at Nanaimo and 12th streets were behind yellow police tape. New Westminster police officers were interviewing bystanders while an ambulance and fire rescue truck idled nearby.

IHIT Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound said first responders at the scene quickly determined foul play was a factor in the victim’s death.

“IHIT is working closely with the New Westminster Police Department to determine what led up to the victim’s death,” said Pound. “We are currently canvassing the area, speaking with witnesses and processing the scene.”

Extra staff slated to help Qayqayt teachers set up classrooms in new schoolGrant [email protected]

The New Westminster school district is planning on Monday being the first day of school.

Superintendent John Gaiptman said Wednesday if both sides had ratified the tentative agreement to end the teachers strike, Monday will resemble a normal first day of the school year. Tuesday will be a full

day of classes for grades 1 to 12.Kindergarten students normally

get a six-day gradual introduction, but Gaiptman said the district would like to “knock it down to about four days.” The introduction involves interviews with parents and students initially attending in either the morning of afternoon.

Gaiptman said the district and the New Westminster Teachers Union have agreed to postpone all professional development

days scheduled for the district for Monday, Thursday and Friday of next week. He said most of

the schools were to have one Pro-D day. One had scheduled two while another did not have any.

“[Both sides] thought it was important to allow our students to get into the school routine as soon as possible,” said Gaiptman.

If the six-year deal is ratified teachers will be allowed to begin setting up their classrooms Friday.

Gaiptman said there will be support staff to help them. Extra support will be provided to teachers at the new Qayqayt elementary where new classrooms had unopened boxes piled up on their floors. They contain equipment and materials been moved over from John Robson elementary which has been closed to make way for construction of a new middle school.

The district planned to post more information about the start of school on its website by Wednesday evening.

The centre identified the victim as Jason Collett, 39.

He was an evening support worker at the home and had been working part-time at Last Door since April 2012. He was also a crane operator and certified search and rescue volunteer.

“The past two years we were surrounded by his empathy and his focused care for those around him,” said Last Door in a statement. “He lived life to the full and leaves a full-sized hole in our hearts. He was kind, courteous, considerate and diligent.”

Last Door provides transitional accommodation in the home for its clients who have completed five or more months of primary care treatment for addiction.

Victim ‘led life to the full’

Wright blames time, inability to promote benefits for decisiongrant [email protected]

Mayor Wayne Wright blames time and an inability to not “get all the positives out to the city” for not being able to bring the Vancouver Whitecaps to town.

He made the comments in the aftermath of Monday’s decision by council to kibosh plans to convert Queen’s Park Stadium into a soccer-only facility to attract a development team for the Major League Soccer club.

“It’s no secret I was a big proponent,” said Wright. “It was a huge economic

development for the city. We should have got all the positives out to the city … It was a progressive thing for the future.”

New Westminster and the Whitecaps signed a memorandum

of understanding on July 7. But the Whitecaps needed a final deal by Sept. 15 so it could apply to play in the USL-Pro League starting in March 2015.

But on deadline day council got sticker shock.

A report to council pegged the total cost at $11.4 million. But the city has set aside just $3 million in its budgets for the area which would have meant borrowing nearly $8.4 million.

The report estimated the cost to fix the field and the concrete grandstand, and to expand seating capacity to a minimum of 3,500 was $7.07 million. Building a full-sized replacement baseball field elsewhere in the city was pegged at $1.14 million while a proposed artificial turf field next to the stadium had a $3.2 million price tag.

“You’ve got to look at the numbers,” said Wright. “I don’t think the gap was an

$8 million gap.”Wright said the tight time frame to

determine the costs and do community consultation were the project’s biggest obstacles.

“There’s always two sides to a story, and this is one of those things that’s got a lot of intangibles to it,” said Wright. “[It would have been] nice to partner up with somebody that is high calibre such as the Whitecaps.”

He said although the grandstand is iconic, it’s also falling apart. He doesn’t see the point in spending $1 million to rehabilitate a wooden grandstand, built in 1928, that’s only used once or twice a year and continues to degrade.

Wright said New Westminster business would have received a lot of economic benefit, while the community would have gained improved recreation facilities and a strong relationship with the Whitecaps.

Wright did not officially vote on the proposal but the rest of council unanimously turned it down.

“What it really came down to here is the financial numbers don’t work,” said Coun. Jonathan Coté, who will oppose Wright in the mayoral race in the November civic election.

Coté said the revenue the city would have received from the Whitecaps lease “would have come nowhere close to recouping the city’s capital costs.”

Coun. Bill Harper said going ahead was too risky.

“When we first took a look at it, it was very quite exciting in terms of getting a professional sports team to actually use a stadium that’s used once a year. Not only that, but professional sports teams like that would raise the profile the city,” said Harper.

Whitecaps proposal’s positives not realized by city: Mayor

grant granger/newsLeader FILeNew Westminster Baseball president Ron Suffron campaigned against a proposal to turn Queen’s Park Stadium into a soccer-only facility to accommodate a Vancouver Whitecaps development team. The idea failed to get approval from city council by the Sept. 15 deadline.

Barely a week after learning he’ll be running for the mayor’s job against incumbent Wayne Wright, Jonathan Coté has an important supporter in his corner.

Coté’s got the endorsement of the New Westminster & District Labour Council, a group that represents 123 local unions comprised of 56,000 members from Burnaby to Langley.

Coté said getting the labour council’s affirmation is a boost to his campaign.

“It still carries weight,” he said. “New Westminster is still a very progressive community that is supportive of workers’ rights.”

To get the labour council’s endorsement, Coté had to answer

a questionnaire and go through an interview with its 12-member executive committee.

“They’re just trying to get an idea for candidates that have progressive values,” said Coté. “They’re trying to get a sense for who shares values to move the region forward.”

Carolyn Rice, the secretary treasurer of the labour council, said the process to vet candidates actually started in the spring. Those looking to secure labour’s blessing must apply to go through the questionnaire and interview process.

“It’s a pretty comprehensive process,” said Rice. By the time they’re done the executive will have interviewed about 70 candidates from 14 municipalities.

Rice said the council looks for candidates’ positions on issues like supporting local business, keeping jobs in the community, pay equity, respect for the environment, development and transportation infrastructure.

“It really does span the range of issues,” said Rice.

TransLink thinks a recent poll demonstrates that a referendum on transit spending is winnable.

Despite the naysayers among the region’s mayors, who sometimes seem to be the biggest obstacle to transit improvements, the idea of a transit referendum makes a great deal of sense.

Instead of ad hoc tax increases like the two cents a litre which mayors came up with at the last minute to help fund the Evergreen Line, residents will get a specific list of suggested transportation improvements and how they can be funded. They can then choose to accept or reject that proposal.

The poll results indicate that a majority of those paying attention to this issue would likely support added spending on transit. There is significant support in areas where transit is already a reasonable alternative to driving. But even in areas like Surrey and Langley with fewer transit options, there is decent support.

However, the poll indicates that south-of-the-Fraser residents are

more opposed to additional taxes to fund TransLink.

This is not surprising. People in this area are already paying bridge tolls – something that drivers in other parts of the region do not have to deal with, except on the rare occasion when they venture out on Highway 1 or cross the Golden Ears.

The 35 per cent of south-of-the-Fraser residents who oppose tax hikes also likely pay more in car expenses than many others. They likely pay higher fees for driving to work, put in more gas, and pay more to maintain their vehicles, which run up mileage faster than many cars owned by people in Vancouver or Burnaby.

Interestingly, the two most popular tax options in the poll were universal bridge tolls, which would even out costs among

all vehicle owners, and a $75 vehicle tax, also a more evenly-distributed tax burden. Both received 27 per cent support. A one per cent rise in regional sales tax was less popular and a carbon tax had only 15 per cent support. Unlike many mayors, residents know the province isn’t giving any carbon tax revenue to TransLink and they will simply pay even more for fuel than they do now.

SFU City Program Director Gordon Price, a former Vancouver councillor and transportation expert, says the referendum has a better chance if it’s framed about building for the future. If TransLink becomes a focal point, it has less chance of success. That’s likely even more true after a series of SkyTrain breakdowns and the revelation that TransLink senior staff got hefty raises when there was supposed to be a pay freeze.

Surrey could benefit from more transportation funding. The mayors’ ambitious plan calls for more rapid transit and significantly more bus service

south of the Fraser.For many Surrey residents

to consider a “yes” vote, those improvements must be seen to be coming soon. There have been too many promises over the years that have been slow to materialize – such as rapid bus service over the Port Mann Bridge which only began for Surrey residents last week, with the #555 bus now making a stop at 156 Street. It took the concerted efforts of 18-year-old Daryl Dela Cruz to push the city into spending $193,000 to make the stop finally happen. It should have been done by the province as it was promised as part of the Port Mann Bridge.

Nonetheless, it is now reality. Dela Cruz deserves thanks from Surrey residents. Hopefully he and other transit advocates will pay close attention to the promises made about improvements to transit here, as the referendum date nears.

Upgrades could drive transit vote

The urban landscape around the world is littered with stadiums and ballparks built for sporting dreams, now forlorn and unrequited.

From the architecturally magnificent “Bird’s Nest” stadium built in Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics that now sits mostly unused, to the functional Abbotsford Centre, which bled that city’s taxpayers of millions to subsidize a minor professional hockey team that was largely ignored by fans.

A decision by New Westminster council on Monday ensures the Royal City won’t join that ignominious list.

In July the city signed a memorandum of understanding with the Vancouver Whitecaps of the Major Soccer League to pursue the possibility of locating a development team in Queen’s Park Stadium.

But Monday, council rebuffed the Whitecaps. The $11.4 million the city said it would cost to expand the grandstand, build a new baseball diamond in another park and eventually an artificial turf practice facility next to the stadium, was just too expensive.

Most other private enterprises have to stand on their own, put up their own building, construct their own facility. If it makes economic sense, they’ll do it.

New West has a proud sporting heritage. But that doesn’t mean its residents flock to watch games.

The New Westminster Bruins junior hockey team left town. Twice. Junior B and women’s semi-pro hockey also failed.

The senior and junior Salmonbellies lacrosse teams rarely draw in the triple digits, unless they’re competing for a championship.

New Westminster residents would rather play sports.

Which is why keeping Queen’s Park Stadium available to soccer and baseball leagues, and whatever other outdoor field sports may come along, is the best decision for the community.

COMMENTI’ve always counted my

neighbours as one of my blessings so when I heard the story I’m about to recount I just couldn’t help but share it….

A family in our neighbourhood of lower Sapperton is pursuing a career opportunity and relocating outside of the country.

They are huge fans of New Westminster and recently demonstrated the special place our neighbourhood occupies in their hearts by how they handled the sale of their home.

In one week they received four offers and a bidding war ensued. The sale price escalated to upwards of eight percent over their asking price. The house could have sold for $7,000 more than it did.

But Craig and Patty did an extraordinary thing. When they learned the highest bidder intended to demolish their home, and build a new big box house, they balked and set the offer aside in favour of a lower one. They wanted someone to buy their home that appreciated

the intrinsic historical value and scale of the house, and they did not want to impose a new larger house on their neighbours.

Most people, as they are leaving, would be inclined to take the money and run.

So I just want to say thank you for the generous gift they bestowed on all of the neighbourhood.

I hope they’re able to find somewhere just as wonderful for this exciting new phase in their lives—wherever they go they will surely make it a better place!

CHECK CANDIDATES’ HEALTH

With the new four-year term for mayor and council it is imperative we examine each candidate carefully.

Before voting, you need to enquire about each candidate’s age and well being. Add four years to their current age to better understand how old they’ll be and what their abilities toward the end of their

term may be like.There’s no mandatory age

for elected officials, but aging affects good decision-making and is a detriment for the long hours our elected officials need to remain alert and effective.

Long hours occur regularly in this city, especially when public hearings can mean a 12-hour day.

As well, ask each candidate about their individual health issues so you can better understand if they are fit for the job. Not all are forthcoming with that personal information. Even the recommendations from the usual political and special interest groups do not consider candidates’ age or their maladies in their support of candidates to the electorate.

This information is important and should be mandatory because if a vacancy does occur due to a death or sever illness, you, the taxpayer will be on the hook for the by-election expenses.

Coté said most of the questions during his interview centred around transportation.

It’s not the first time Coté’s won labour’s backing. The council previously supported his candidacy for city council.

He said while labour backing doesn’t come with financial support, it does give an opportunity for candidates who have the labour council’s endorsement to pool some of their resources.

“There will be some joint efforts,” said Coté, who declined to name other candidates who have already been given a labour endorsement.

Rice said the full list of candidates the labour council is supporting will be released formally on Oct. 10.

The Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation has gone back to school for its next president and CEO.

Jeff Norris is the foundation’s new head, succeeding former president and CEO Adrienne Bakker, who left in March to become CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and the Yukon.

Norris was the chief advancement officer at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), a position he held since 2006. He was also the CEO of the KPU Foundation

and executive director of the KPU Alumni Association, a group he helped found. As part of his duties, he oversaw the university’s marketing department, as well as its external and government relations department.

Norris is no stranger to fundraising organizations, though.

He worked with the Heart and Stroke Foundation as well as the Kidney Foundation. He also spent seven years as the director of annual and corporate giving at the St.

Paul’s Hospital Foundation. He helped increase its annual fundraising from $2.5 million

to $10 million, including $1.7 million from its holiday Lights of Hope campaign.

“Jeff has a long history in fundraising work and has made a positive impression on every non-profit he’s

joined,” said Doug Eveneshen, chair of the RCH Foundation. “We are delighted to welcome Jeff at a time when the foundation prepares for one

of the largest hospital redevelopments in Canada.”

In 2012 the provincial government announced it would proceed with a major expansion and redevelopment of the hospital, which is expected to cost nearly a billion dollars.

Norris is married and has two daughters.

Earlier this year he was recognized by Business in Vancouver magazine with one of its “Forty Under 40” awards.

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7689, 2014(DOWNTOWN PARKING REQUIREMENTS)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Downtown Parking Strategy was approved by Council on December 2, 2013. One of the recommendations in the report was “right sizing” the parking requirements in Downtown New Westminster, refl ecting a trend in reduced car ownership, particularly near SkyTrain Stations. This zoning amendment bylaw would implement the recommendations which relate to on-site parking.

WHAT IS ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW 7689, 2014 ABOUT?This bylaw would implement the section of the Downtown Parking Strategy related to on-site parking requirements. Key elements of the recommended zoning requirements include:

• A moderate reduction in strata-titled residential parking requirements that refl ect car ownership rates in the area;

• A lower, uniform parking requirement for all commercial properties that more accurately refl ects current and projected future usage levels; and

• The inclusion of trip reduction initiatives in the bylaw, which allow for reductions in parking requirements.

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?The bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Department at City Hall 10 business days prior to the closure of the Public Hearing, September 12, 2014 to September 29, 2014 Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between 8:30am and 4:30pm.

The proposed density is 24 units per acre (59.3 units per hectare), with a fl oor space ratio of 0.81 and a site coverage of 39.5%. The buildings have a height of 31.95 feet (9.73 metres). The average unit size is 1,327 square feet (123.3 square metres).

“It would make the city more attractive [to visitors], and for economic development. At that point we had no idea what the reaction was going to be in the community. We knew being in the summer time was a problem, and the time line was a problem but in our view taking the opportunity and time to look at it was important. That’s what we did.”

Harper said the baseball community set the agenda by attending open houses and council meetings to voice their opposition.

But although the sport would have been turfed from the stadium, New Westminster Baseball president Ron Suffron was happy about the decision for financial reasons.

“The numbers just don’t work, that’s all there is to it. And the timeframe never worked,” said Suffron. “That whole process was crazy to spend that kind of money behind closed doors just didn’t make sense.”

Suffron said baseball needs to improve its promotion of games so the grandstand draws crowds at times other than just May Day.

Queen’s Park Residents Association president David Brett believes New Westminster has missed a golden opportunity to both save the stadium and to align the city with a marquee group like the Whitecaps.

He said the staff

report’s one-page financial summary doesn’t fully analyze the proposal.

“It appears to only tally the capital costs, but it does not reference any revenue anticipated from the project, and it doesn’t seem to define the contribution from the Whitecaps. It’s not spelled out what the sports franchise was going to contribute,” said Brett. “I don’t think the way council has disclosed this to the public is quite right.”

Signs opposing and supporting the Whitecaps proposal have popped up on lawns all over New Westminster. Petitions and comments from both sides have dominated social media talk in the city.

“The opponents have been very loud and somewhat rude, and I think a minority have influenced the decision,” said Brett. “You can disagree without being disagreeable, and I think this has not been a

very fair process from the opponents’ side. A lot of misinformation has been disseminated.”

The Whitecaps have resumed discussions with other Lower Mainland municipalities to find a place for its young prospects to play in 2015.

“[W]e are disappointed by city council’s decision not to proceed with this proposal,” said president Bob Lenarduzzi and chief operating officer Rachel Lewis in a joint statement. “We truly appreciate the support we received from members of the New Westminster community and are thankful to those residents and businesses – as well as our supporters – for all of their efforts.”

The development team will be owned and operated by the Whitecaps, developer Ian Gillespie and development consultant Gary Pooni, a New Westminster native.

Temple Grandin, whose life story was made into an Emmy Award-winning movie, will speak at Douglas College on Sept. 28.

The animal-welfare advocate and autism activist’s talk is already sold out, but overflow tickets for a live webcast in the auditorium next door are on sale.

Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Despite being diagnosed as autistic at an early age, Grandin became an expert on livestock handling. Her methods of improving quality of life for livestock animals have been adopted throughout the industry. She has also become a prominent advocate for people with autism.

Her life story was depicted in a HBO movie Temple Grandin starring Claire Danes.

“I have had the privilege of hearing Dr.

Grandin speak several times, and I find both her and her work to be extremely inspiring. She has done more to bring positive change to the welfare of our domestic animals than almost anyone else internationally,” said Douglas College veterinary technology instructor Diane Boyle. “She is a very down-to-earth and entertaining speaker.”

The talk will be held in the Laura C. Muir Performing Arts Theatre at the New Westminster campus starting at 7 p.m. She will also sign copies of her books. Proceeds will go to the Douglas College Veterinary Technology Trust Fund and the B.C. SPCA. An online waiting list if any main theatre tickets become available is in place. Details on the overflow tickets and waiting list are available at eventbrite.ca.

New Westminster residents already know the allure of their city. Over the weekend representatives from communities around B.C. learned first hand about New West’s unique qualities as well.

The British Columbia Chamber Executives Association held its annual general meeting and conference at the Inn at the Quay. Delegates from chambers of commerce from around the province gathered for professional development workshops and seminars on topics like economic development, social networking, financial management and community advocacy.

“The hosting of events like these drives economic benefit for our city,” said Cori Lyn Germiquet, the CEO of New West’s Chamber of Commerce. She estimated the conference pumped more than $50,000 into the city’s economy.

More importantly, said Allan Asaph, the president of the BCCEA, delegates “received a warm introduction to the community and many of its local businesses and attractions.”

AssAult witnesses soughtNew Westminster police seek witnesses to a

serious assault that left the victim with serious, but not life-threatening injuries. The assault occurred near Sixth Avenue and 12th Street, at around 11 p.m. Sept. 10. A merchant was being assaulted outside his shop, and the suspect fled when police showed up. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, 27-33 years-old, 5’10”, athletic/muscular build with short, sandy brown hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt and dark-coloured sweatpants or blue jeans. Anyone with information is asked to contact 604-529-2537 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

More big cases go to trial in 2015 Jeff NagelBlack Press

A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.’s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases.

Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said the “significant decline” in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership.

His comments were published Monday in the unit’s 2014 annual

community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com.

The number of gang-related killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009.

Nearly 100 organized crime figures or gang-related individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said.The report’s release came after the province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million.

Much public attention has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which

concluded in July. A decision is expected Oct. 2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing two innocents along with four targeted victims.

But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings.

And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015 as well.

A trial is expected to begin next year in Kelowna, where Jonathan Bacon was gunned down three years ago. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones and Jason Thomas McBride face first-

degree murder charges as well as four counts each of attempted murder.

CFSEU officials say next year could also see the start of a trial against Cory Vallee, accused in two murders – the 2009 shooting in Langley of Red Scorpion Kevin LeClair and the 2008 shooting in Burnaby of Jonathan Barber, who was mistakenly targeted because he was installing a stereo in a car owned by a Bacon brother.

Vallee, who was arrested in August in Mexico and quickly returned to B.C., also faces conspiracy charges in relation to a UN Gang plot to kill the Bacon brothers.

Hackett said a joint CFSEU-IHIT

investigation also led to murder conspiracy guilty pleas last year against six UN Gang members and associates.

He said the gangsters had been “ruthlessly hunting” members of the Bacon crime group in 2008-09, a period during which police efforts also prevented at least two more murders.

“They displayed blatant disregard for public safety in what Crown counsel referred to

as ‘human safaris’ while they targeted their rivals.”

The six received sentences of seven to 14 years each and although UN Gang leader Barzan Tilli-Choli could be out

late in 2018 due to time served, he is expected to then be deported to Iraq.

Hackett was optimistic the CFSEU’s edgy End Gang Life campaign (endganglife.ca) will help persuade more gang members to reform.

It plays on the emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead. The annual report includes statistics on the ethnicity of gang murder victims, where the bodies are typically found (31 per cent inside a car, 20 per cent inside a residence), as well as seasonal patterns in gang violence.

TESTIMONIALWe were buying our fi rst house this summer. We had bad experiences with Realtors before so we were on a lookout ourselves. We checked out a couple of houses on our own & landed in an open house where we met Bryn. We told her that we were not working with any Realtor as they don’t have the ability to answer our questions as we have very strict exposure and directional restrictions. We needed fl oor plans and strata plans to ensure the house we bought was in accordance with Vastu (Hindu architecture). Bryn took down our email & said she would send us some listings. We got a huge number of listings a couple of days later. We took a look and called her up to schedule the viewings. She answered her phone promptly and was available to answer our endless questions via phone,text & emails. 3 weekends later & a couple of marathon viewings across the town of New Westminster, we found the house that we loved. We put an off er and it worked amazingly well in our favour. Bryn helped us in the following.1. Answering all our questions with immense

patience. We had lots being the fi rst time home buyers in Canada.

2. Providing us with fl oor plans ASAP3. Scheduling viewings at very short notice

sometimes.4. Giving us pointers for Mortgage advisers,

home inspectors, lawyers etc. We had absolutely no idea what level of work was needed. She gave us step by step to do list for our ease.

In addition to all the above points, she was a major stress buster in the entire process due to her vast knowledge base of the area and realty in general. We consider ourselves immensely lucky to have her as our Realtor. I would strongly suggest everyone looking for a house in New West area to hire her as she does 90% of the work for you, while not failing to explain every detail in the process.THANK YOU BRYN!~ Nikki and Vijay

Question

elcome to the driver’s seat

Honda Fit goes big but in a smaller packageThe subcompact segment in Canada had been a bit stale, until this past year, when we witnessed a number of new entries into this segment. In 2013, Nissan introduced the Versa Note hatchback and earlier this year Nissan followed up with the Mi-cra, the least expensive car on the market ($9,998). The latest entry is the Honda Fit, the only vehicle in this com-petitive class to come with an amazing array of seating options that make it a wonder-on-wheels. LooksIn an age where most cars get bigger from one generation to the next, Honda has bucked the trend and actually shaved 41mm off the overall length of this new 2015 Fit, but improved interior volume. The way they achieved this is by stretching the wheelbase and shortening the front and rear overhangs. This move also helped in the styling department by producing more of a wedge front surface with a sleeker front windshield. The Fit now looks longer, sleeker, and less top heavy. Priced from $14,495 - $22,595, the Fit, on paper, might not look as attractive as the top selling Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio. But when the buyer factors in the versatility of this vehicle and the fact it has the highest retained value in this class, according to Canadian Black Book, it can offer good value.InsideAs attractive as the new exterior is, the interior has always been the real story. There is no other car in the subcompact, or even the compact class, that has the same functionality and flexibility. This

new 2015 has 79mm of additional rear seat room, the largest cargo area, class leading passenger volume and more front shoulder room than its competitors. That’s all good stuff but the design of the rear seats and car-go floor make all of that room even more useful. Honda has what they call Magic Seats: an

outrageously simple rear seat design that allows the seat bottom to flip up, making the rear seat floor accessible to store large or tall objects. This would be a great place to transport a dog, almost like a kennel on wheels. Since the fuel tank is placed under the front seats instead of the typical location under the rear cargo floor, this allowed the designers to lower the rear floor offering a much deeper cargo area. Combine this with the ability of the rear seats to fold, plus the front passenger seat to be re-clined to help transport extra long items the Fit has the space race won.DriveHonda has a new line of engines it calls Earth Dreams, a less than subtle mocking of Mazda’s Skyactiv. The essence of this new engine technology is taking variable valve timing and direct injection, plus a lighter design to help in power delivery and fuel consumption. The new 1.5L engine has eleven per cent more power, at 130hp, plus more torque at 114 lb.-ft. but is 27 per cent lighter than the old engine. The power goes to either an all-new 6-speed manual that is available on all trim levels or a new continuously variable transmission that expands the gear, ratio range by fourteen percent. What this means in

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.VerdictThere is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added. There is now a height adjustable drivers seats, a standard 5-inch LCD screen with backup camera and Bluetooth all on

the base $14,495 DX trim. Move up one step to the $17,295 LX trim and Honda includes a huge 7-inch touch-sensitive Display Audio system and heated front seats (my favourite). There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point. This car is all about smart money.

Top secret Infi niti factory

Milton Keynes, England: Th e security here seemingly rivals that of the most top-secret government institutions.“Without the proper fi nger you can’t get in,” says Red Bull’s Silvia Halfar, grin-ning while prod-ding the fi nger-print scanner. Th e door clicks open to the Infi niti-Red Bull Racing factory, where we would observe the hi-tech pro-duction tech-niques behind the success of four-time world F1 champion driver Sebastian Vettel and the four Construc-tors’ Championship titles earned by the team.Th e design genius is indisputably Adrian Newey. With ten Constructors’ Champi-onships under his belt, won with three diff erent teams – Williams F1, McLaren and now Infi niti-Red Bull – he has no rival.“Adrian draws up to 100 designs (car parts and components) a week and I mean draws, literally,” informs Silvia. His work is scanned and 3D print-ers generate models for testing.It’s not a one-man show: more than 600 people design, test, build and assemble the hundreds of thousands of parts required for the race cars driven by Vet-tel and Daniel Ricciardo. Every season, the 110-strong design team produces a new car, which conforms to the strict F1 regula-tions. A super computer tests every part virtually, before a new model hits the former Concorde jet wind tunnel in nearby Bedford. Its processing power is a closely guarded secret but it’s greater than 35,000 iPads combined.Diff erent parts are designed for ev-ery racetrack, sometimes within 24 hours of a race. Th e race simulator is out of bounds but we learn new part

profi les are fed in and tested virtually by the driv-ers on any of the F1 circuits programmed into the machine. It was likely overworked this year as the old V8 engines were replaced with turbo-pow-ered 1.6-litre V6 hybrid powerplants.

Th ere are no underground tunnels be-tween the four buildings so when a secret race-winning part is pro-duced what happens? Silvia laughs: “Well, then we put it on a tea trolley, cover it with a towel and wheel it across the road.”

Shortly before leaving, we visit the operations room, where live data is an-alyzed and information fed back to the racetrack. “After one race the winning team Tweeted a picture of their ops

room…we could see who was in the room and what programs they were running on their monitors.”With that, the exit door buzzed and the cool air rushed in to take our places.

Top Secret: Inside the Infi niti-Red Bull Racing factory

Race route not for the fast and furious…Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infi niti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow.Th e tour of the Infi niti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. Th ere we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. Th e doom-sayer was right, try ten hours!

PREDICTS DANGERSBEFORE THEY’RE DANGEROUS.


Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium – Champers is the breakfast of champions here at the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix.If $3,500 is burning a hole in your jeans, you can enjoy all the Formula One Paddock Club fi zz that

fl ows freely on qualifying day Saturday and race day Sunday.As a guest of Infi niti-Red Bull Racing, one feels duty bound to get value for the championship F1 team’s generous contribution to the Belgian coff ers. Judging by some race goers uneasy gait after the victory by Infi niti-Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo – not our crowd, of course – they were closer to their consumption targets.Th e Paddock Club off ers a magnifi cent view of the fast and the fashionable, perhaps the most cutting edge conspicuous among the latter category being my suit designer pal Duncan Quinn, from New York, in his red suit. It was so eye-catching that Sebastian Vettel remarked on its sharpness.While he drew the admiring looks of the Shell F1 gals, the rest of us made for the never-ending buff et. It featured such culinary delights as veal shank and rack of spring lamb, served with sweet corn terrine, sautéed summer

vegetables, oven roasted pumpkin and port wine

jus. Th e Chateau Villa Bel Air 2011

from Bordeaux was the perfect complement.Icy treats, desserts, anyone? – 1,000 calories a look. Time to take a pit stroll, access via the

‘Millionaires’ trailer park’, where owners wine and dine. On Saturday, the team’s garage boomed with music but now the crew was in serious race mode. Outside they practiced pit stop changes, as they do

daily at their Milton Keynes HQ. (Th ey hold the world record for a wheel change in 1.923 seconds!) Every one-hundredth of a second can mean the diff erence between a win and loss. Knowing they

were working so hard, I almost felt guilty tucking into the gratinated lobster, arugula and artichoke salad, while quaffi ng the Mumm’s champagne.

However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-fl ipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. Th e navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her.Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested.Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.Th e drive mode selector off ers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing

speed limits fl ashing above helped show off the predictive forward collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo will govern your speed and braking automatically. You soon fi gure whether he’s trustworthy or not. In addition, lane control keeps you on the straight and narrow should you drift into that passing

car you were alerted to by another warning system. Th anks to the $320 fl exi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks.Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the

windshield wipers performed effi ciently in a downpour of Biblical proportions.

Along the way, refl ective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of

Agatha Christie’s fi ctional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the

super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the

route, including scenic diversions, in

a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying.

The big stories out the of classic car world today are the multi-million dollar

rarities that will be offered for sale at the big auctions in Monterey, Ca.

With those cars making headlines, it’s easy to forget that there isn’t a million-

aires-only policy when it comes to classic cars. Here are four favourite all-

American classics that can still be had for less than the a loaded new Ford Focus:

1948-49 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe: The ’48 Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter plane-inspired tail fins that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As el-egant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8.1961-63 Ford Thunderbird: The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, mid-century modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent con-vertibles can be found for $25,000 or less.1964-66 Ford Mustang: The first generation Mus-tang which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has clearly aged beautifully, looking just as fresh today as it did in April of 1964 at its New York World’s Fair introduction. Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylin-der coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price.

1927-31 Ford Model A: Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The God-father II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s-40s, it sometimes seems like there was nothing else on the road. They can still provide reliable transpor-tation even in the 21st century. Amazingly, this piece of automotive history is still affordable. Tudor sedans range from $15,000 to $20,000 and roadsters $20,000 to $25,000.Rob Sass is vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

GVHBA Fall Renovation Show kicks off on October 4

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has a reputation for being one of the top single-family builders in the Lower Mainland, with beautiful homes in several communities. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to South Surrey with Th e Village at Southwood.

“South Surrey is one of the most sought-aft er places to live,” says Deborah Calahan,

vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “Th ere are so many amenities in the area. It’s close to great recreation like the new aquatic centre, good schools, the ocean, shopping, dining and the United States. It’s truly got it all!”

Th e three-bedroom homes at Th e Village at Southwood are built in a contemporary West Coast style, with generous use of stucco, stone and wood that combines for some serious

curb appeal.Each home has a large private backyard for

leisure time with the family.Inside, the spacious open fl oorplans range

from 2,570 to 2,615 square feet, with an unfi nished basement that gives buyers the option to include a deluxe fi nished basement or legal suite.

Th e vaulted ceilings and window seats are just two beautiful details in the homes. Like all Morningstar homes, the kitchen is a highlight.

“Th e kitchen is king in our homes,” Calahan says.

Th e Village at Southwood kitchens include large granite islands perfect for entertaining or family meals, as well as high-end stainless-

steel appliances.Natural light is prevalent throughout the

homes due to the huge windows.Gorgeous glass-paneled stairwells add to

the open feel and contemporary look of the home.

Another stunning addition is the linear gas fi replace in the living area.

Upstairs, the master suite is an oasis, with a wall-to-wall seam-less glass shower enclosure with sitting bench, two hand-held wands and a large rain shower head.

“Th e ensuite makes you feel like you’re on vacation at a luxury spa!” Calahan says. “Th ey feel so extravagant.”

Morningstar is off ering several options to homeowners, allowing them to truly make their home their own. Among them are an indulgent steam shower, Nu Heat fl ooring in the master ensuite and main bathroom, an electric linear fi replace to add ambiance to either a master bedroom or den and a state-of-the-art four-zone Sono audio system.

“Th ere’s even some outdoor living choices like a garden bench with planters and faux grass for low-maintenance yards!” Calahan says. “People really appreciate that.”

Th e homes opened for sale in August, and have already been very popular with buyers.

“Th ere has been an amazing response so far,” says Calahan.

Part of the appeal is the neighbourhood. Close to the amenities of Morgan Crossing, nearly anything you can imagine is within walking or easy driving distance, and Highway 99 is just moments away.

Recreation opportunities at Crescent Beach or one of the numerous golf courses and parks are all nearby. Th e exciting Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is due to open next year. And kids can walk to the new elementary school that is slated to open in the near future located just down the street.

“It’s really special,” Calahan says. “We’re really thrilled to be here.”

For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-560-3450 or visit the presentation centre and three showhomes, located at 16708 23rd Avenue, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 6 p.m.

Submitted photosMorningstar Homes is bringing their single-family home expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood, a collection of homes with some amazing curb appeal and great features, including a gorgeous kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Th eatre in Coquitlam.

Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information

and education. Th e collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. Th e show is completely devoted to renovations, and the Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute one-on-one consultations to homeowners looking for assistance.

Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends,

Renovating versus New Build and Designing for Small Spaces. A list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online.

“Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.”

De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator.

“Th e RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industry-leading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit.

Th e event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.
