A cricket matchwas in full swingat Minoru Parklast week. TheRichmond CricketClub enjoyed asunny afternoon fortheir one-day event.
Proposed new measures to protectRichmond’s farmland from illegaldumping of material are a step in theright direction, but need to be based
on a sustainablefunding model.
That’s the opinionof Thomas Loo, aformer AgriculturalLand Commissionemployee and
Richmond resident.Loo, who served as the ALC’s
agricultural compliance and environ-ment officer, said Richmond shouldenact a bylaw requiring a permit todeposit soil anywhere in the city,not just on property protected by theAgricultural Land Reserve.
He said that approach is a com-mon practice in many communitiessuch as Abbotsford, Langley, and
Delta where he previously workedfor a decade as that municipality’sassistant environmental control offi-cer.
Essentially, the city collects a feeof 50 cents per cubic metre of mate-rial being depos-ited or extracted(in the case ofAbbotsford), aswell as the fee forthe actual permit,which can rangefrom $25 dollarsto $300, Loo toldthe News.
“When I lookat the current pro-posal from Richmond, I think coun-cil is missing the boat. They wantto collect fees on the fill sites in theALR, which of course are ‘non-farmuses’ and generally speaking, notwell supported by the ALC,” he said.
“So, therefore, the only source of
revenue for this program of enforce-ment is a penalty system for theviolation.”
Richmond held an open houseTuesday at city hall, inviting thepublic to view the proposal to hire
two to three staffmembers to runa soil protectionprogram. Twonew staff wouldcost $239,000.Three would be$329,000.
The public isalso being askedif the status quo,with no addi-
tional staff, is the way to go, and ifincremental permit fees, and finesfor violations of the bylaw should beintroduced.
But a potential shortfall in fund-ing, if the program is based on rev-enue from fines, could eventually
erode public support and ultimatelyresult in it’s discontinuation, Loosaid, adding that from his experience,when it is widely known that a com-munity has stringent soil dumpingmeasures and monitoring, violatorssimply move on to another destina-tion.
“To me it’s simple. Implement asoil permit in all of Richmond andinclude the volumetric fees,” Loosaid. “When I look around and seethe piles of pre-load all over in thenon-ALR areas, I just think of thehuge amount of money that theycould be getting.
“For me the answer is ‘yes,’ thesoil cops are needed, but let’s fundthem in a way that will be sustain-able.”
Online feedback on the pro-posals can be made at www.LetsTalkRichmond.ca.
Deadline for submissions is July29.

Flames fanned over ‘ethnic-gate’POLITICS
Recent revelations that allegedly pointto the B.C. Liberal Party’s attempt to hush astaffer has re-ignited the furore over the eth-nic outreach program.
NDP leader Adrian Dix told theRichmond News that new documents hisparty attained suggest a government stafferwas offered an “inducement” to keep quieton the matter to protect the provincialLiberal Party and premier heading into May’sB.C. election.
“It’s a very serious situation that theywould act that way,” Dix said from Victoria,adding the alleged conduct “raises seriousissues about the ... government’s conduct.”
Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yapresigned his position as minister of multicul-turalism when it was learned the governmenthad used government resources to compile acontact list.
Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat nowcounts that multiculturalism position in herportfolio of ministerial responsibilities.
Previously, the government has claimedthe plan was developed by party staffers touse taxpayer resources to help gain ethnicvotes for the B.C. Liberal Party, but wasnever put in place.
Dix contends Yap used his personalemail to avoid the scrutiny of a Freedom OfInformation request in regards to the allegedoffer to staff.
Asked what he would like to have thegovernment do in light of the revelation, Dixsaid, “First of all, there has to be accountabil-ity for what happened here.
“And what plainly happened here is thatthe Liberal Party went out and offered an
inducement to silence somebody. And minis-ters of the Crown were party to it. And that’sa pretty serious situation.
“They (government) may think that hidingit until after the election and then respondingto all the questions is sufficient. But it plainlyisn’t in the public’s mind,” Dix added. “Mr.Yap has to explain why he was involved insuch a thing, what he did about it at the time,and why he was clearly using, inappropriate-ly, government funds to promote the party.”
Dix said if the new information hadcome to light prior to the May 14 election, itwould have been a “bombshell” for the B.C.Liberal Party and Premier Christy Clark,which lagged behind the NDP in the polls.
In Richmond, all three B.C. Liberal candi-dates, including Yap, were elected.
Speaking from Victoria, Wat told theNews her party had previously apologized forthe situation, refunded the money ($70,000)assessed spent in the ethnic outreach pro-gram, and admitted what had transpired waswrong.
However, she maintained that, becausethe inducement was declined, there was nowrong-doing.
“What we are saying is that the emailsreferred to by Adrian Dix and whatever wasdiscussed was wrong and inappropriate. Butwhat the report found out was that no actionshad been taken,” added Wat, referring topremier Clark’s deputy minister John Dyble’sinvestigation into the scandal.
That did not satisfy Dix who said thestaffer’s decline of the offer does not absolvethe government of any wrongdoing.
“The question is not whether it wasaccepted,” said Dix. “The bad behaviour onthe part of the government is the offer, andthe conspiracy to offer.”

Stabbing silence thwarting cops
Mounties in Richmond are dealing withanother stabbing and another case of a vic-tim and witnesses not talking.
This time, the incident, a stabbing, tookplace in Ceili’s bar on Westminster Highwayand Alderbridge Way on July 13.
According to the RCMP, the incidentkicked off when an argument startedbetween two groups of males, who areknown to police.
It then escalated into the stabbing of one
member of the two groups. The man, in hismid-20s, was taken to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries and was later released.
“The victim is, at the moment, beinguncooperative and we’ve been unable toascertain who was involved,” said Sgt. CamKowalski, of Richmond RCMP.
“We’re trying to get to the bottom ofwhat happened and hopefully make anarrest.”
Earlier this month, local Mounties faceda similar, silent response after a man suf-fered two stab wounds to his chest in theCambie/Shell Road area.

the Friday Feature
On a sunny Tuesday evening, a gather-ing of predominantly middle-aged womenroll out their yoga mats on the docks atBritannia Heritage Shipyard.
Yogi and Steveston Community Centreemployee Vicky Petrescu guides the classthrough child’s poses, warriors, sun saluta-tions and more.
The class is usually held at the JapaneseCultural Centre, but setting suns and aninspiring natural environment draws theparticipants down to the docks during thewarm, dry weather.
But be it practised inside or out, the riseof yoga in Richmond goes unabated. Asmany as a couple dozen can fill the classes.
“We’re all busier than we’ve ever been,”says longtime yogi Margie Hardy, whousually teaches the class. “In a way, yogagives you more time, you get more time inyour life by forcing yourself to set it aside.You can be quiet and calm down.”
To her, yoga becomes an identity, a wayof life. She also points to the physical andmental benefits.
“It’s about how to live life and keepcalm,” she says. “Yes, there’s the spiritualside, absolutely. The purpose of the posesis to find the key to inner contentment.”
Yoga bent out of shape inthe name of profit
While few would argue with the poten-tial health benefits of yoga, there is alsogrowing concern about how yoga is prac-tised in western culture.
Although some aspects are true to theancient Indian spiritual practice, high-priced, form-fitting clothing has alsojumped on the bandwagon as the Easterntradition has moved west.
Like many things Western, yoga has, inmany cases, become a hyper-commercial-ized, capitalist venture where “yoga pants”are a necessity, expensive classes consist ofmoving from pose to pose, and the overallbenefits focus on body toning and physicalfitness.
In fact the “corporatizing” of yogacaused the Indian government to put1,300 distinct yoga positions into the pub-lic domain, preventing “self-styled yoga
gurus” from claiming ownership of pos-tures that have been taught for thousandsof years.
Return to tradition, Vedicteaches all eight limbs
This was a trend noticed by the RamKrishna Mandir at the Vedic CulturalCentre, the Hindu temple on No. 5 Road.In response, the temple offers yoga classesthat return to the Indian tradition.
“We saw how it was being adopted byWestern culture and wanted to share someknowledge about its origins and how it’spractised in India,” says Bimla Veer Singh,the temple’s secretary and coordinator.
Free of frills, people learn not only howto transition from cobra to downward dog,but about the Hindu culture and the originsof yoga.
The centre keeps the costs low and allmoney goes back to the maintenance of thetemple. Yogis are encouraged to wear looseand comfortable cotton clothing, which isadvised in some of the ancient texts.
“The Western world has taken the yogapart out of the practice and focused on thebody part, the physical, and people feellike that’s good enough,” said Singh, apractising Hindu.
In actual fact, the poses are only onepart of the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga. To
engage in the full practice means incorpo-rating all eight limbs.
But Singh is encouraged that people arestarting to realize that there is more to yogathan poses, “and are learning more aboutthe practice, going on retreats.”
Naseem Gulamhusein, an instructor whoruns a program at Langara College, alsoworries the spirit of profit is overwhelmingthe spirit of peace and contemplation.
“It’s become about how to make middle-aged women sexy in these tight yogapants,” says Gulamhusein. “Yoga pantsshouldn’t be a thing.
“I always like to say, ‘all good thingsmust come to a trend.’”
Instructor helps preserveoriginal teachings
Gulamhusein, who has been practisingyoga for 13 years, started the program tobecome a certified instructor at Langara inorder to preserve the original teachings andadd a sense of standardization.
“Yoga’s not regulated, so where’s theaccountability?” she asks. “Anyone cantake a few training courses here and there,and then start training others. The teachershave a lot of power and people are buyinginto it. In some cases, teachers are totallyexploiting students.”

Gulamhusein blames the idealizationof the yoga teacher as one of the drivingforces behind the high prices. It leads tothe glamourization of the tradition takingit from spiritual quest to status symbol.
Even more detrimental, she fears themarketing of yoga as an expensive pursuitkeeps it inaccessible for the people whoneed it the most.
“There are people who offer yogaclasses to those in the Downtown Eastsideor at women’s shelters,” she says. “But thedomination of the expensive studio makesit harder to find these low-cost centres.”
Cultural appropriationMoreover, the commercialization of
yoga is tantamount to cultural appropria-tion.
“It’s deep in Indian philosophy andis about deep spiritual practices thatHinduism took, so to take it out of spiri-tuality is to appropriate it and make it atrend,” says Gulamhusein.
“When you just take what you wantfrom another cultural practice, that’s cul-tural appropriation.”
Some of the other seven limbs of yogainclude ethics, self-discipline and spiritualobservances, sensory transcendence andmeditation.
Observing all eight is to practise yoga,the purpose of which is to lead to enlight-enment and self-realization.
Recently, a California judge ruledthat yoga can be taught in public schoolsbecause it’s not teaching children religion,rather “despite its roots in Hindu philoso-phy, it is part of American culture.”
However, to view yoga through areligious or nonreligious framework isproblematic. In a piece for the VancouverObserver, Anupreet Sandhu Bhamrawrites, “the ‘Hindu’ way of worship,belief, practice, way of living is all part ofthe Yogic philosophy.”
Yoga philosophy is written in Sanskrit,an ancient Indian language, in whichthere is no word for religion. The closesttranslation is dharm and the set of philos-ophies that make up Hinduism are calledthe Sanatana Dharma.
These philosophies provide codes ofconduct, which differ from person toperson. There’s no universal code or holybook, as is the case with most religions.
Instead of seeking a divine entityoutside the person and needing an agent,such as a priest, the Hindu belief is that
every being is divine within and the pur-pose of yoga is to help a person reach thatdivinity.
As Hinduism draws on numerousaspects of life including science and theenvironment, doing yoga doesn’t neces-sarily mean engaging in a religious prac-tice, but it is engaging in the SanatanaDharma.
“But you still can’t strip yoga offHinduism,” Bhamra writes. “By doingso, you are robbing yoga of its essence.The cultural appropriation will serve nopurpose other than making yoga a newform of a quiet exercise routine, whichthe West has unashamedly done to a greatextent.”
Awareness can only helpUnlike Gulamhusein, Hardy doesn’t
mind the current trend of yoga because ofwhat it does to an individual — whetherspiritual or not — once they leave a yogaclass.
No matter how it’s being marketed,what goes on in an actual class throughposes and breathing helps lead an individ-ual to finding that enlightenment within.
“I think it’s only helped increase the
awareness of yoga,” Hardy says. “Themore awareness that’s raised about it, thebetter off we are as a society. It’s a verypeaceful practice, so the more we canspread it throughout society, the more wecan benefit from it.
“Understanding the teaching is good,but it’s also a wonderful practice for yourbody.”
Singh agrees that even if the focusis on the movement of the body, mostclasses do use ancient terms in an effortto educate the attendees.
“It does provide some benefit, thephysical still affects the rest of you, yourmind, your mental state,” says Singh.
“Usually when people start yogabecause of the physical benefits, they endup learning more about it anyway. It’s fineif you want to just focus on the body, butI don’t think it’s always enough.”
The benefits of yoga, as it is practisedby Western society, are undeniable, butwithout the other aspects of the tradition,Gulamhusein says it just shouldn’t becalled yoga.
“It can be a great form of exercise, butif you’re taking the spirituality side out ofit, it’s not yoga.”

EDITORIAL OPINION
Two more people drowned over the weekend — one in theOkanagan and another on Vancouver Island, after the July 18drowning of a 21-year-old Port Coquitlam man in Alouette Lake.
So far this year, 43 people have drowned in B.C., almosttwice as many as at the same time last year.
The Lifesaving Society of B.C. and the Yukon keeps track,and said drowning numbers are rising over the long term.
No one should have to avoid going to B.C.’s lakes and water-ways. In addition to offering stunning scenery and recreationopportunities, they can be vital during hot spells at providingplaces for people to cool off, but B.C. lakes, rivers, creeks, andwatercourses are also places where people can get into trouble.
Swimming in a lake is different from swimming in a pool.Bodies of water have their own currents, and lake and river waterlevels change throughout the year. The temperature of naturalwater bodies is usually colder, as well.
People can’t assume that, because a lake site or other water-front spot is public, there will be help at hand.
Cutbacks have meant there are few lifeguards at public lakesand swimming spots around B.C. And it takes time for emer-gency crews to get to these spots.
As has been shown, a person can drown or get into serioustrouble even when surrounded by hundreds of people.
Often, by the time a person realizes he or she is in trouble,there is neither energy nor voice to summon help.
Always use safety gear in or near water, keep the booze athome, and before any risky behaviours or extreme adventures,always assume you are not as good a swimmer/diver/boater asyou imagine.

I had to take the car (I’veowned it long enough fora simple definite article)through AirCare this week,for the last time.
It got a simple pass afterthey hooked up its elec-tronic guts to a computerand determined it had beena good little engine for thepast two years. They printedout my pass form on the lastdot matrix printer in B.C.and sent me away.
It’s the last time I’ll haveto get the car AirCared, asthe program is ending as ofthis year.
That will feel strange.I’ve been driving carsthrough AirCare testingbays ever since I starteddriving. The program startedin 1992, two years before Igot my license.
My cars and AirCarehave seldom been friends.Like most of us, I owned aseries of early vehicles thatteetered on the line between“car” and “pile of rollingmetal.”
My worst car was a 1988Hyundai Stellar.
Never heard of theStellar? That’s because ofits painful failure to live upto its name. A small four-door sedan, it’s main sellingfeature was the very smallamount of money I paid forit. It took me to and fromcollege and survived almostthrough a full year of myfirst postschooling job.
Even before its untimelydeath, it had seen the whitelight at the end of the tunnela few times.
It’s most impressivenear-death experience was
its black lung disease.Apparently, for the entirelife, the exhaust system hadbeen building up depositsthat were slowly chokingthe engine to death.
The car started los-ing power so slowly that Ihardly noticed, until goingup hills was as painful asa three-pack-a-day smokerclimbing 10 flights of stairs.
I took the alleged car totwo repair shops.
The first one quoted mea price of $1,300 to fix it,approximately five timeswhat I judged the car to beworth. The next shop sug-gested $1,600 would be anappropriate repair bill.
Possibly taking pity onmy sad facial expression(I was still in school andapproaching dead broke)the fellow there sug-gested I take it to KershawPerformance, an old-schoolshop that still operates herein Langley.
The Kershaw mechanicpoked his head under thehood, said he could maybedo something about it, andthen took out a thin pieceof steel rod, inserted it intothe engine, and whaled onit with a ball peen ham-mer. After he dislodged theaccumulated gunk, the carran for another year beforeit succumbed to a new ail-
ment. They charged me $25.The Stellar’s tale was not
yet over, however. I put it upfor sale, basically willing toaccept any offer. A friendof a friend of a neighbourturned up and offered me$300 for the barelymobilevehicle, and I took it with-out haggling. He then gaveme $150 - all in $5 bills thatsmelled suspiciously of can-nabis — and drove it away.
After he was gone, Inoticed that he had filledout part of the transferpapers incorrectly. I tried tocall him, but for three days,he ducked my calls, prob-ably because he didn’t wantto pay me the remainder ofthe money.
The next day, I got a callfrom the RCMP.
Did I know that a carregistered to me had spedaway from a police stop,run over a stop sign, andcrashed into a ditch? Hadthe driver, now in cells,stolen my car? I explainedthe situation, and I swear Icould hear the officer on theother end of the line roll hereyes when I mentioned thepile of $5 bills.
The car was still legallymine, she said, and I couldcome down to the impoundyard and pick it up if Iwanted to pay the fee.
Otherwise, it wouldbe crushed into a cube. Itwould cost about $150 toget it back.
I left it to its fate, and ithas now likely been reincar-nated as a crate of toasters.

The Editor,Re: “Latest theft leaves bad taste in kids’ mouths,” News, July
19.It was with great dismay that I read about yet another theft
from a community garden. As one of the volunteers for the LordByng elementary garden club, I can understand the disappoint-ment of the students from Spul’u’kwuks who worked so hard togrow their various crops.
Lord Byng has also been a victim of theft these past threeyears. Our students have worked hard preparing the gardens forplanting a variety of vegetables and herbs and maintaining thegardens in anticipation of a bountiful harvest.
I was very proud to learn that the students unanimouslydecided to donate all our produce to the food bank and to com-munity meal programs.
Sadly, last year someone carefully “harvested” the scapesfrom the Byng garden and then came back for the garlic andmany other vegetables. To add insult to injury, sometime in thelast four days, someone came and relieved us of our potatoes,radishes and trampled the few remaining vegetables we had inthe garden. As a result, we are again unable to fully honour ourcommitment of donating food to the programs.
Some may call it ignorance, some may call it disrespect — Icall it stealing, plain and simple. Shame on those responsible forpilfering these gardens and destroying the children’s hard work.

The Editor,I am 94-years-old and walk with a cane.The other day, I caught a #401 bus at
Brighouse station.The driver saw me hurrying to the stop
and patiently waited for me. He smiled whenI got on and waited until I was seated beforehe started. A real gentleman.
Later, I caught another #401 atWestminster Highway at No. 3 Road. I wasthe last one on and the driver closed the door,catching me as I was getting on.
He then started with a jerk, sending me
flying down the aisle.Luckily, I landed on someone’s lap, rather
than the floor. Another passenger steadied meuntil I was seated.
If that wasn’t enough, he sailed throughmy stop, even though I had pulled the cord— twice! I had to catch another bus back tomy proper stop.
I was too mad to get the bus number, butI will be watching for this ignorant, uncivil,nasty cowboy.

17.I certainly agree with the letter from KC
Tuey regarding the useless waste of our tax-payer money on the past Sister City twinningtrips to Japan, China and other locales.
Who went on these junkets to far awayplaces? Various council members, senior
Richmond staff and one or two Richmondcitizens. I expressed my opinion some timeago about the need for us taxpayers to curtailsuch junkets using taxpayers’ dollars!
As a recent headline stated, ‘Sister cityspending plans put on hold.’ Let’s hope so!!Restraint starts here.

The Editor,This past week, the issue of the Liberal
government’s “ethnic-gate” scandal aroseonce again during Question Period in theB.C. Legislature.
The BC Liberals offered money to agovernment employee to keep quiet aboutinformation that would damage the partyand the Premier.
This scandal has a significant tie-in to Richmond. Former Minister ofMulticulturalism and Richmond-StevestonMLA John Yap was in charge of the depart-ment in question and was forced to resign.
And the current Minister ofMulticulturalism, Richmond Centre MLA
Teresa Wat, gave stonewall answers whenasked questions about the hush moneyissue on day one of Question Period. Shewent back home, read the Liberal scriptsand came back for day two of QuestionPeriod with answers full of rhetoric.
My question: Why are our electedMLAs more concerned with re-electionthan with serving the constituents of theirriding? Why are taxpayer resources beingused for political expedience?
And to think, we just elected and re-elected these scandal-ridden bureaucrats tooffice to represent our great city.

In pickup parlance, thechase isn’t just on, it neverreally stops. With the arrivalof the 2014 ChevroletSilverado, the pace is defi-nitely quickening.
In 2012, 265,000 domes-tic- and foreign-based 1500-, 2500- and 3500-seriespickups were sold in Canadaand 40 per cent belonged toFord.
GM’s Silverado/Sierramodels finished solidlyin second place, ahead ofChrysler’s Ram and wellahead of the Toyota Tundra,and Nissan Titan.
With the all-newSilverado 1500-series,Chevrolet appears to havedone its homework and paidclose attention to what buy-ers are looking for to hauland tow their stuff.
There are more powerfulengines as well as improve-ments and upgrades innearly every other categoryyou could imagine.
The one area that Chevy’struck designers appear tohave tinkered with the least
is the sheetmetal. The newSilverado bears more than apassing resemblance to theoutgoing model.
In front, the twin stackedheadlights remain, but thegrille is now much moreprominent and tougherlooking. As well, the hoodand fenders bulge out moreaggressively than before.
Behind the tailgate, thehandy “Corner Step” bum-per has recessed footholdsthat, combined with built-inhandholds inside the box,make accessing the bedmuch easier.
The dashboard and con-trol panel that houses theoptional eight-inch touchscreen are positioned in atidy pod for easy viewing,and all of the oversizedknobs and switches arework-glove-friendly andclearly marked.
All body styles — regu-lar, extended Double Cab(now featuring front-hingedrear doors with outsidehandles) and four-door CrewCab — are attached to areworked frame with morehigh-strength steel, extra
bracing for stiffness andimproved body mounts thathelp isolate road noise andvibration.
The revised suspensionplaces the wheels on eachaxle farther apart with agoal to improve overall rideand stability.
For 2014, Chevrolet hasmade a few changes to theSilverado’s box size/cabcombinations. Now you canorder the Crew Cab with alonger 80-inch (200-cen-timetre) bed as well as thestandard 68-inch (175-centi-metre) version.
Perched between theframe rails is a choice ofthree new, all-aluminumcam-in-block engines. Theentry point is a 4.3-litreV6 that features the samedisplacement as the previ-ous V6, but the output hassignificantly increased to285 horsepower and 305pound-feet of torque from195/260. Optional is a 5.3-litre V8 with 355 horses and383 pound-feet on tap, upfrom 315/335.
Later in the model yearthey’ll be joined by an avail-able 6.2-litre V8 rated at420 horsepower and 440pound-feet of torque, whichshares its parts with the newCorvette sports car V8.
All three powerplantsfeature direct injection,which tailors the fuel loadfor the task at hand.
They also have continu-ously variable valve timing(which allows in more fuel

and air depending in the power needs andcylinder deactivation that cuts off up to halfthe cylinders in light load and cruise situ-ations.
The transmission for all is a six-speedautomatic. The result, at least for the moremuscular V6, is a significant fuel economyimprovement in city and highway driving(best guess of 12.0 l/100 km in the city and7.8 on the highway, compared to 14.1/10.0for the previous V6).
Chevrolet also likes to point out that ithas managed to increase performance andreduce fuel consumption across the line
without resorting to complex (and expen-sive) turbo-charging. That’s a direct shot atthe Ford F-Series and its “Ecoboost” V6.
Of course you can order your Silveradoas a stripped-down, rubber-matted V6 workrig with a $27,150 sticker, or head all theway up to the new and thoroughly tricked-out High Country 4x4 with a correspond-ingly high list price. It’s a brand new trimlevel designed to keep well-to-do ranchersdriving in the lap of luxury.
Whichever pickup matches your needs,know that Chevrolet has made the rightchanges for a more refined and fuel effi-cient Silverado to keep pace with Ford.
Interior: For luxury truckers
Thanks to the efforts of a Richmondgarage a pair of road rally adventurerscompleted the Peking to Paris MotoringChallenge 2013 last month.
Stephanie Recavarren of Juan’s AutoService said the Vancouver father and sonduo of Gary and John Anderson earned abronze medal in their category after pilotinga 1930 Ford Model A Cabriolet through 15countries and 12,247 kilometres of demand-ing terrain.
“Their car held up really well,”Recavarren said, “although they did run intosome problems near the end on some of thesteep hills in Austria. But they managed tocomplete it and their time was very good.”
The rally started May 29 in China andfinished at Place Vendome in Paris on June29.
Recavarren said Gary, a 75-year-oldcommercial real estate owner in Vancouver,said his Model A suffered the least mechan-ical problems than all the other entries inthe pre-1941 vintage category, but wereultimately undone by the Austrian topogra-phy.
“Whatever everyone was telling thembefore they went about how hard the condi-tions would be, John said it was 10 timesworse,” Recavarren said.
Some of the modifications theRichmond garage made to the Model Aincluded a secondary fuel tank, GPS equip-ment, four-point harnesses for both driverand navigator, and a more robust suspen-sion on the rear wheels.
Plans are to ship the car back to Canadaand have it worked on at the Richmondshop. Recavarren said she is very proud ofthe work the garage performed to get theModel A rally ready.
“It was awesome,” she said, adding thatfollowing the Anderson’s progress on thePeking to Paris website gave her goose-bumps. “Not only because we were part ofit, but it was the spirit that they both haddriving so far. At one point they had todrive for 25 hours. They did a great job.”

Breaking the CurseWealth Transfer and LostInheritanceThe famous American publication The Wall Street Journal published anarticle earlier this year detailing the results of a study, and discussions withseveral financial advisors, about inheritance and how Americans are handling(and have handled) them. I expect the situation is not far different in Canada,at least in principle.
The Boston College Centre for Retirement Research has stated that two-thirdsof baby boomers will inherit family money, mostly in their later middle age,totaling $7.6 trillion (plus whatever money they may receive while theirparents are alive). American household wealth, at the end of 2012, wasestimated to be $64.8 trillion.
These amounts are staggering, to be sure. The United States (and Canada) isin the midst of perhaps its largest-ever intergenerational wealth transfers. Sothe question under investigation is what gets done with the money, onceinherited.
QUICK SUMMARY
The investigation seems to have concluded that the phrase “shirtsleevesto shirtsleeves in three generations” applies. There is no shortage ofhorror stories, with several cases of large amounts of money being spentquickly, such that someone asks one day, “Where did it all go?” (after it’s toolate, of course).
SOME OF THE PEOPLE
The late Charles Rogerson was a New England banker who built theBoston Safe Deposit and Trust. His brother prepared several (tax-protected)trusts to prevent the family fortune from being wasted. Nevertheless, Charles’son was able to exhaust the fortune through his hobbies and the collapseof his large real estate project in the 1980s. Charles’ grandson, Tom Rogerson,is now a wealth strategist, travelling the U.S. in an effort to teach prospectiveclients about how to retain their family fortune.
THERE ARE OTHER BRIEF HISTORIES OF FAMILY FORTUNESWASTED:
1. The Vanderbilts. Their fortune came from railroads and shipping, andtotaled about $100 billion. The heirs apparently went “hog wild,” and in a1973 family reunion of about 120 people, there was not a single millionaire.
2. Mr. Huntington Hartford II. His family fortune originated with the famousA&P store chain. He went through hundreds of millions and died at 97, havinglost tremendous amounts through “investments” such as a Manhattan artmuseum, a California artists' colony and a Bahamian resort development (thelatter included gold-plated bathroom fixtures and a medieval cloister).
3. Barbara Woolworth Hutton. Her fortune came from the legendary“five and dime” stores. She apparently went through about $1 billion on suchitems as art and jewellery, not to mention seven husbands. She died with anet worth of $3,500.
WHAT WENT (AND WHAT GOES) WRONG
It appears some things don’t change from generation to generation. TheBoston College study shows that family money rarely survives long. By thesecond generation, 70% is typically gone. After the third, 90% is gone.
The first problem seems to be that money spreads thinly over a fast-growing family tree (or trees). And many of those on the tree(s) areinexperiencedathandling largeamountsof money.Thestudyspeaksof“suddenwealth syndrome” that lottery winners, athletes and others experience.
The other problem is that inheritors feel they can go on permanentvacations, without having to create new income streams. The advisorssuggest that inheritors don’t understand well enough that future financialsuccess will depend on them, not someone else!
THE OTHER PROBLEM
Today’s economy and investment climate are perhaps more challengingthan ever. The amount of debt in the world makes all countries’ economiesvolatile and uncertain. Investing is harder, such that inheritors face seriousconcerns in trying to retain and even grow their family fortune, or their owninheritances.
In my view, many of the boomers who inherit will have to use thefunds for their own retirements, aside from thinking about the futuregenerations’ inheritance.
PERPETUATING THE WEALTH/INHERITANCE FOR MULTIPLEGENERATIONS
Where do we go with all this? Well, regardless of the amount of theinheritance, the task for inheritors is to invest the funds and, at minimum,increase the family’s or inheritor’s income.
If the inheritor is still employed or running a business, stay with it if it'spossible and sensible to do so. Grow the inheritance rather than stoppingwork, so that the next generation will have a better inheritance.
Another point the article makes is that the next generation should be taught atan early age about managing and investing money. Involving children ininvestment decisions is crucial for their future skills and values regardingmoney (and other assets that can be inherited).
Another way to look at this issue is what some advisors call “the business ofthe family" – which involves finding ways to lower the probability of familyfights down the road.
CONCLUSIONS
In my opinion, any person inheriting now or in the future should try toprepare for it in some way, depending of course on their circumstances. Ina sense, an inheritance is a blessing and a curse. I find it unsurprising, givenhuman nature, that there are fortunes blown and stories of extravagance.Both are to be expected with significant inheritances.
The challenge is to learn how to manage assets. That is why financial and otheradvisors can be critical. For example, here in the Lower Mainland, aninheritance coming from a house and some money in the bank may nothave been significant 30 years ago. Today, however, such an Estate caneasily be worth more than $1 million. If there are only two or even fewerinheritors, that inheritance is worth managing. Properly planned, such aninheritance can finance the inheritor’s future.
