HELP SNACK PROGRAM

On the water - in your own backyard Helen Polychronakos CONTRIBUTOR

V

acationers pressed for time or strapped for cash this summer don’t need to travel to exotic resorts for an on-the-water adventure. There’s plenty to do right here, along the Lower Fraser and at Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake parks. From heritage tours on a paddlewheeler boat to lessons about wildlife and a few tips on rowing and paddling, Burnaby and New Westminster bring together education, sport, and good old summer fun on the water. Why not go back in time and start with a history lesson on an authentic paddlewheeler boat? Captain Doug Leaney bought the paddlewheeler MV Native in 1991. They have been charting historical tours from New Westminster Quay and up and down the Lower Fraser River ever since. Though the MV Native was designed and built in 1985, it’s a genuine replica of 19th-century boats with only a few modern alterations. “We have a steel hull. The old ones had wood, which was prone to problems like getting holes. They ran on steam and we run on diesel,” Leaney said. “But this is one of the few paddlewheelers only propelled by paddles.” A few gentle nudges to the MV Native’s wooden wheel is all it takes to steer the paddlewheeler. Leaney tells stories of

seagulls fighting eagles for the salmon in their talons. Meanwhile, the silty waters bustle with tug boats and log booms destined for the sawmills along its banks.

Discover beavers Those wanting to get a little closer to the water, and get a little exercise, can enjoy some action at one of Burnaby’s two lakes. The Beaver Wetland Paddle at Burnaby Lake Regional Park is a fun and educational canoe trip guided by Peter Lawrance, a park interpretation leader for Metro Vancouver Regional Parks. The paddle is every Friday in July— weather permitting—from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. “It’s a great way to explore Burnaby Lake. People always mention they’re surprised to find something so peaceful right in the middle of Burnaby,” said Lawrance. “The highlight is looking at some of the wildlife. Last week we saw a bald eagle catching a fish. Some patrons got a very close look at beavers, and one of them did the tail flip.” The tour makes a stop at Beaver Lodge for a look at beaver pelts and skulls, as well as insects, reptiles and amphibians native to the lake. Canoeing skills are not needed, as Lawrance gives a brief introduction to safety, basic strokes and balance— and adds that no one’s tipped yet. Most of the participants are locals, but some bring

friends and relatives from other countries who get the opportunity to have a quintessential Canadian experience, said Lawrance. The two-hour tours cost $16, but more experienced canoers can sign up for a longer trip to the lake’s

Cruise on the Fraser River From wildlife to industry and historic towns, the MV Native’s different tours explore all the facets of this working river. The Fraser Explorer Tour ($49.95) is a two-and-a-half hour journey from New Westminster Quay past Port Coquitlam and the Port Mann Bridge currently under construction. A buffet of burgers, salads, desert and coffee is served. The past and present of the Fraser and of the region known as British Columbia’s birthplace are narrated throughout the trip. The Pitt Lake Cruise ($89.95) is a more leisurely trip. Traveling to the pristine surroundings of a fresh-water tidal lake, this tour leaves New West at 10 a.m. Thursdays and Saturdays and returns at 4 pm. The price is $89.95 for adults and includes lunch. Once or twice a month, the paddlewheeler goes up to Fort Langley ($79.95), where passengers can disembark and explore the antique shops in “the birthplace of B.C.” The next two are July 31 and Aug. 18, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.vancouverpaddlewheeler.com/ index.html or call 604-525-4465.

ple once gathered cranberries and hunted elk along its shores. Today, large condo towers loom in the distance instead of large game but, because it’s only a 10-minute drive from Metrotown, the calm waters of Deer Lake Park offer a quick and easy getaway from crowded malls and traffic jams. Canoes, single and double kayaks, as well as pedal boats and row boats can be rented from the boathouse at 5435 Sperling Ave. Prices range from $12 an hour for a single kayak to $28 an hour for a four-person canoe or pedal boat and include life jackets, oars and paddles. Canada geese, blue heron, beavers and jumping rainbow trout can be observed, as well as lotus flowers currently in bloom. For a bit of culture and civilization, paddling up to the Dr. William and Ruth Baldwin House allows a peek at—and even into—this 1965 creation by legendary architect Arthur Erickson. Its large windows reveal authentic, if somewhat shabby, furnishings from that era. To go even farther back in history, the walking trails around Deer Lake reveal some 19th-century heritage homes.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with two incidents in which homes were broken into while the occupants were home at the time. Burnaby RCMP were called on July 13 at about 8 p.m. to a home on Humphries Court where the home owner said he was awoken by the noise of two men in his home stealing his belongings. The victim startled the thieves who fled before police were called. While police were investigating, they received another call from a resident on Cunningham Court reporting a similar crime in progress. The officers

arrived at the house in minutes to find a suspect still inside. When he realized police had arrived, the suspect jumped out of a second-storey window in an attempt to escape. An officer gave chase, jumping out of the same window and running through yards and over fences while a police helicopter followed the suspect overhead. After a lengthy foot chase, a 19-year-old man, who is well known to police, was arrested. He faces multiple charges related to both incidents. Burnaby RCMP continue to search for the second suspect from the Humphries Court

break-in. He is described as a Caucasian man, about five-footnine, with a shaved head and wearing a black hoodie with a red emblem on it. “It is really important to call the police immediately whenever you hear or see a suspicious person or activity,” said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk. “The home owner did the right thing and called 911 which resulted in an immediate police response.” Those with information are asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or solvecrime.ca.

Payment for a complete hearing test ensures you will receive an unbiased, professional opinion. It is common to include this fee when you buy hearing aids. Hearing aids must be ordered within 6 months of your last hearing test If you are covered by a third party such as WorkSafe BC or Veterans Affairs Canada, they will be billed for the hearing test. Extended health plans may pay for the hearing test. Contact your insurance company to see if you can be reimbursed for a hearing test. gs

SBNH to get new digs Winning proposal for new cityowned non-profit space only one to include partners By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER

After over a decade in cramped quarters, South Burnaby Neighbourhood House (SBNH) is finally nearing the reality of a new home. The community nonprofit was the winning applicant for a new three-storey office space within MetroPlace, a 46-storey project at Beresford Street and Telford Avenue, across from Metrotown SkyTrain station. The 16,000 square feet of community amenity space will be owned by Burnaby city hall, but is being built by the developer, Intracorp, at no cost to the city, in exchange for a density bonus. Antonia Beck, SBNH executive director, is thrilled at the news. “We got a call from the director of planning on Tuesday saying it was official,” she said Thursday. Its current space on Imperial Street at Jubilee Avenue is only about 3,000 square feet. “We’re crammed. When we have our seniors here for lunch, we’re overflowing.” Family drop-ins are so well attended that stroller parking is at a premium, and parents and kids are practically on top of each other. Community dinners have to be held in larger spaces elsewhere in South Burnaby. Staff and volunteers spend more time than they’d like on problem-solving when they find the

limited space double booked as often happens. When SBNH moves into its new space, scheduled for spring 2013, those will all be things of the past. The 12,000 square feet they’ll be calling home will allow all its services, apart from outreach and child care, to be held under one roof. “It sounds like a lot of space but we’re going to easily fill it,” said Beck, noting that’s a typical amount of space for other neighbourhood houses in the Lower Mainland. They hope to include a large room that can be used for community dinners, as well as a commercial kitchen. Since it hasn’t been built yet, they’ll get to have it designed for their own needs. As is the case with all city-owned nonprofit spaces, SBNH will pay 50 per cent of market rents. Beck credits their successful application partly on planning work SBNH had done over the past several years. Through that process they were able to determine they needed exactly 12,000

square feet. When it came to their proposal, SBNH partnered with three other complementary community groups—the Centre for Abilities, the YMCA’s community child care resource and referral service, and the National Congress of Black Women—who will be leasing the remaining 4,000 square feet of space. SBNH already works with the first two groups on child care issues and the latter provides cultural programming, said Beck, adding it will share some of its space with those groups as needed. “That’s why it’s a

perfect partnership.” Burnaby Coun. Paul McDonell said that partnership was key to council choosing SBNH’s application. Theirs was the only proposal that used up all the space, he said. “We didn’t want to give part of it away and try to get rid of the rest.” SBNH not only had a good presentation, “the city didn’t have to worry about [any leftover space].” The development is the first to take advantage of the city’s new supplemental community benefit density bonuses for Burnaby’s town centres. Originally planned for 11,000 square feet, the community amenity space at Metroplace grew to 16,000 square feet as a result of the new program, McDonell said. “They build more units and we take cash or space.” Without the city and developer providing the space, it would have cost SBNH upwards of $3 million to get the space they wanted, he noted. “It’s a real good bonus for everybody.” wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Untangling HST spin Many British Columbians have already marked their X to extinguish the HST or save it from extinction. Congratulations to them for having already waded through the gobbledegook being trotted out by both sides, and for having waded through all the instructions Elections BC sent with the ballot. For those still trying to make up their minds, good luck. The tax talk long ago went from being a logical discussion of the HST’s merits or faults. It has now digressed into political rhetoric. Debate has divided along party lines. It didn’t begin that way with former Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm taking up the cause against the HST’s introduction by the BC Liberals. The New Democrats were slow to take up the cause. But when the public got angry after finding out the HST meant paying an extra seven per cent tax on stuff they hadn’t been taxed on before the NDP jumped on the bandwagon. It sure appears they did so out of political expediency. Instead of working to find a way to tweak the tax to make it fair, the NDP realized by amping up the animosity they might be able to capitalize by using the issue to take down the Liberals in the next election. The Liberals, on the other hand, became stubborn in their unwillingness to tweak the tax until the Fight HST movement got too strong to ignore. Now they’re bending the rules with the so-called ‘independent’ government ads from hstinbc.ca. The commercials note the province has promised to lower the HST from 12 to 10 per cent, but blatantly neglect to point out it won’t drop to 11 per cent until July 1, 2012 and not to 10 per cent until July 1, 2014. The whole sad exercise—including those annoying suppertime ‘town hall’ phone calls from both parties—has left most British Columbians with their heads spinning trying to separate rhetoric from valid points. That’s a task they should have been spared from.

change. But the sheer power of recent weather events, and the scars left by bark beetles and fires, are difficult to ignore. Australia has just taken bolder steps than those of B.C., imposing a carbon tax on the country’s 500 largest carbon emitters. The government proposes to collect the revenues for three years and invest them in renewable energy, transition for coal and steel industries and tax cuts for consumers who will have industrial carbon taxes passed on to them in the price of goods. Then the Australian carbon tax is supposed to convert to an emissions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future. B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industry as its critics sometimes claim. The tax is imposed on all fuels used in industry, but hasn’t been extended to industrial process emissions. By far the largest greenhouse gas source in B.C. remains vehicles, at around 40 per cent of the total. • Another highlight of the trip was the visible resurgence of the forest industry.

Writer using scare tactics Re: Homosexuality should stop at the threshold of schools Henry Ho said, “If the propaganda is not checked and is 100 per cent successful in turning all schoolchildren into homosexuals, in 50 years Canada will have no people to populate the country.� I don’t know what Henry has been smoking but he needs to put it down. There is no “propaganda� and certainly no one can be “recruited� into being homosexuals. Not to mention that your assumption that homosexuals don’t reproduce is false, as there are many gay people out there with biological children. Henry is just a hatemonger using scare tactics to belittle a group of people because he is afraid and doesn’t understand them. I applaud the school board for standing up to people like him.

From a religious point of view he should follow the directions of whatever God he believes in, who, I’m positive, would never preach such abhorrence as suggested by Parents’ Voice. The best advice Mr. Ho can follow is not to allow a special interest group with political aspirations use him in its grand scheme. Instead of listening to false prophets he should put his hand in the hands of the man from Galilee: “Take a look at yourself. And you can look at others differently.� Brian J. O’Neill Burnaby

I was displeased to leave Deer Lake Park with some estimated 5,000 people who attended the Tragically Hip concert to see there was only regular transit service along Canada Way. The hundreds depending upon transit either had an hour-plus wait at the bus stop or an hour-plus walk to a SkyTrain station. The other option was parking at $60 a spot. Calling a cab company wasn’t even possible as phone calls weren’t even getting a busy signal. I am all for getting out of the car (I sold mine a couple years ago) but my one and half hour wait, before I ultimately decided to walk to Willingdon Avenue left me tired and angry. Don’t get me wrong. Deer Lake Park is an amazing venue and I was happy to enjoy the concert. But if they want to host large acts, I believe the City of Burnaby (venue operator), Live Nation (promoter) and TransLink (transit authority) should work together, or at least communicate, to provide adequate resources so everyone can travel smart both to and from a concert.

Re: Three Metrotown projects to fund $17.2M in community beneďŹ ts What is the point of establishing bylaws restricting the height of apartment buildings when density bonuses have become the new standard? The existing bylaw for highrise apartment (RM5) height in Burnaby is 180.45 feet or 55 metres. If there are, on average, 12.5 feet per storey, this is roughly 14 or 15 oors. There are four new highrises being constructed or proposed in the Metrotown area that are more than double or triple that height. The Sovereign will stand at 45 storeys, the Chancellor at 37, the Met at 35 and Metroplace at 46 oors. To illustrate, take the Met development slated for Nelson Street. At market rates, 84,000 square feet of bonus oor space can easily translate to about $60 million in additional sales. The city will get about $7.4 million plus an annual infusion of cash through property taxes. But do these beneďŹ ts still outweigh the costs to neighbours and taxpayers throughout the city? While the cash amounts, amenities and oor space received by the city may seem impressive, there are also costs to bending the rules. The extra residences will mean thousands more automobiles will be parked and used within the Metrotown area on a daily basis, leading to more trafďŹ c congestion and more pollution. There will be additional pressures on existing amenities such as the library, recreation complex and public schools. There are also the added costs for ďŹ reďŹ ghting equipment that must be purchased to protect these structures from ďŹ re or other disasters. Those of us living in the substantial shadow of such structures will also be affected in various ways. Additionally, there is the risk of losing the sense of belonging that is often associated with smaller densities and diverse income groups. I wonder if the Metrotown area is maturing toward becoming a “complete community.â€? While residential construction booms, a third ofďŹ ce tower development stagnates as the developer struggles to ďŹ nd tenants. It is my understanding that in the future, TransLink plans to relocate its ofďŹ ces to New Westminster around 2013. We are at risk of becoming a bedroom community as Burnaby concentrates its commercial developments away from SkyTrain and Vancouver continues to be the regional business district. As we can see, once the precedent has been set for one site, other developments seek the same preferential treatment. The exception quickly becomes the rule with little debate or consultation with neighbours. Density bonuses can be an excellent tool to promote community development and densiďŹ cation, but there is a danger in their overuse. Council must not be seduced by the seemingly “freeâ€? money that density bonusing can bring. Rick McGowan Burnaby

Growth, HST help to reduce provincial deďŹ cit: Falcon By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

VICTORIA – The B.C. government ďŹ nished the ďŹ scal year this spring with a deďŹ cit of $309 million, nearly $1 billion less than what was forecast last fall. The savings came partly from extra tax revenues generated by four-per-cent economic growth during 2010-11, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday in releasing the province’s audited public accounts. Some was realized from lower than expected spending in programs such as health care, and some came from extra revenues collected through the harmonized sales tax. But Falcon wasn’t able to say exactly how much extra revenue the HST brought in during its ďŹ rst year of operation. B.C. sales tax revenues are growing by about $600 million a year, partly due to the fact that provincial sales tax has been extended to a variety of services as well as goods. But B.C.’s gross domestic product is growing faster

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon describes B.C.’s improved economic performance in the ďŹ scal year that ended March 31. B.C.’s four-per-cent growth was third after Newfoundland and Saskatchewan, and ahead of Alberta and Ontario.

than the national average and consumer conďŹ dence is strong, so revenues from the former PST would also have grown, Falcon said. And he noted it has been clear since the HST was introduced that it collects more revenue because of the broader tax base. “It is also a tax that generates greater economic

activity, generates more job creation, and that in turn will drive more revenues to the government,â€? Falcon said. NDP ďŹ nance critic Bruce Ralston said the government is using “funny mathâ€? to produce a rosy picture of the B.C. economy. One reason the past year’s deďŹ cit is so much lower is that B.C.

collected $769 million from Ottawa, the second half of its $1.6 billion “bribe moneyâ€? for adopting the HST, he said. “People have a sense they are being played,â€? Ralston said. “They have an agenda, they want to ram the HST through and this is just one more instance of that.â€? Falcon warned that if the HST is rejected in the referendum that is currently underway, that will cost the province about $3 billion over the next three years. Half of that is to repay the federal government, and the rest is transition costs and extra HST revenue that won’t be collected. “We will have to manage that $3 billion hit, and the only way you can do that is either have larger deďŹ cits, which means borrowing more money and passing the bill onto future generations, or you can increase revenues, or you can reduce spending,â€? Falcon said. Because the provincial budget remained in deďŹ cit, B.C. cabinet ministers will not receive a 10 per cent holdback to their salaries for the 2010-11 ďŹ scal year.

In response to the proposal from Metro Vancouver mayors to add two cents to the region’s gas tax, the BC Conservatives have launched an AxeTheGasTax campaign.

the tax’s $1.1-billion take by 2012. The province would make up for the lost cash from its coffers, Bains said, by raising the corporate income tax. It’s a tidy solution that doesn’t tie the NDP to backing one of the more contentious ways to raise money directly from Metro Vancouverites. But it’s also one that’s unlikely to fly with the government. Successive transportation ministers have insisted the $400 million must come from Metro Vancouver

and not be seen to be raiding money from the provincial budget that arguably should be shared equally with other regions of B.C. Bains argues the Liberals are raising the corporate tax anyway – in order to promise an HST cut to try to win the referendum. “Christy Clark’s way is to buy HST votes,” he said. “That money could have been used to buy us the transit services that the public need and deserve.”

City Fair, show-and-shine return to Edmonds July 24 By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER

pizza brings us together Proud to support the communities we serve

I’M THE CREATOR OF MY OWN DEAL

Organizers of two Edmondsarea events are combining their efforts into one community celebration this weekend. The Edmonds City Fair and Classic Car Show takes place on Edmonds Street between Canada Way and Kingsway on Sunday, July 24. The city fair portion runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. while the car show goes 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Organizer and city councillor Paul McDonell said the move to combine the two events was due partly to a desire not to compete with the Langley Cruise-In car show scheduled for the city fair’s usual weekend in September, and the fact Richmond Park is unavailable due to construction of the new Edmonds community centre and pool.

It’s hoped combining the events will also serve to draw attendance from the city fair to the car show and vice versa, McDonell said. The classic car show will be located on Edmonds between Kingsway and Mary Avenue. The remainder of the festival site will include a petting zoo, carnival rides, and the international fair in which the diverse community presents displays and costumes from 12 countries. Live entertainment will take place on two stages, at Kingsway and at Canada Way, with the Metropolis Glee Club giving roving performances up and down the street. As in past years, the highlight, said McDonell, will be the celebrity challenge at 1:20 p.m. on the mainstage across from the Edmonds fire hall. That’s when local politicians and

community leaders perform a secret activity that he springs on them at the last moment. A few years back it was a pie eating contest. Unfortunately, McDonell didn’t know the chocolate cream pies were still frozen. “They ate all the whipped cream then they ended up pushing the pies around the table and getting bright red noses.” Last year, it was a race involving eggs on spoons, running with firefighter turnout gear and running wearing women’s dresses. “It was pretty funny because they don’t make dresses that big,” he said with a laugh. While some classic car owners might cancel if it rains, the city fair portion of the event will go ahead rain or shine. More info: edmondsfestivals. com/. wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Burnaby’s No Island to play at City Fair Band’s founders first met on soccer pitch as 12-year-olds By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER

Classic rock band No Island got its start through Burnaby connections and a touch of serendipity. James Wilfred Martin and Keith Sinclair, now both 22, were two music students in the jazz program at Capilano University, each looking to start a band a couple of years ago. They soon met and learned they both hailed from Burnaby— Martin graduated from Moscrop secondary while Sinclair is a Burnaby Central grad. “We recognized each other on on our first day at Cap because we played soccer together at 12 years old on the Wesburn team,” said Martin.

“We ended up becoming pretty good friends.” Together, the pair founded No Island, which is performing at the Edmonds City Fair and Classic Car Show on Sunday, July 24 on Edmonds Street. After recording some demos with friends, Martin and Sinclair determined what they needed to get the sound they wanted. The result is the addition of three band members, also from Capilano’s jazz program—Powell River’s Andy Rice, 21, on keyboard and vocals, Vancouver’s Sara Lauridsen, 22, on bass and Richmond’s Mike Ferguson, 23, on drums. Martin plays saxophone and sings backup vocals, while Sinclair plays guitar and sings lead vocals. Martin describes their sound as “classic rock for the 21st cen-

tury” inspired by the likes of Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles. No Island released its first CD in March and has been building up a fan base through live performances and social media. No Island’s music “really appeals to a

wide audience,” Martin said. While they have a mostly younger following of young adults in their 20s, they’re also “quite well received” by older listeners who grew up on the music of the original classic rock bands. Info: no-island.com. wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Fraser Health is stepping up efforts to steer seniors away from costly hospital or longterm care beds if they can be supported and treated in their own homes. The health authority has hired ďŹ ve quick response case managers – based at Royal Columbian, Surrey Memorial, Burnaby, Abbotsford Regional and Peace Arch hospitals – to work with geriatric nurses to ag incoming patients at ERs who can instead be sent home with bolstered supports. That’s one of a series of initiatives underway collectively dubbed “Home is Rightâ€? – a broad effort to change the mindset of hospital ofďŹ cials, health care workers and families. “Home with appropriate supports – not hospital, not residential care – is the best place for seniors to manage their chronic conditions and live out their ďŹ nal days,â€? says Lynda Foley, Fraser Health’s executive director of home health and end of life care. Most seniors prefer to stay in their own homes, with their pets, belongings and family. They have what they need, can be more active and social, and they avoid the risks of hospital-borne infections. Parked in a wheelchair or stretcher in hospital, they can quickly lose muscle strength and typically take longer to recover. And hospitals will simply hit

a breaking point as the demographic bulge of seniors grows if the chronically ill elderly continue to be primarily handled by the acute care system. “We know that tsunami is coming at us,â€? Foley said. “If we don’t change the system, we’re not going to be able to sustain it into the future.â€? The trick is to deliver needed supports into homes. Foley said that strategic shift is underway and has been gaining momentum since January, when Fraser Health formally set home care as the ďŹ rst option to be considered for elderly patients who no longer need a hospital bed. She gives the example of an 85-year-old man who arrives at hospital with symptoms from his end-stage heart disease. He might not be admitted but instead diverted from the ER back home where whatever care is needed can be arranged. The quick response care manager who made that decision would actually accompany him home, check his medications, assess the situation and arrange follow up care by a family doctor, geriatrician and other support staff – coordinated by a community case manager. Other patients who must be admitted to hospital because of more serious symptoms can be stabilized and then shifted more quickly back to home if the necessary supports are there. The region has already increased home support service by 11 per cent over the past year, to 169,000 hours a month. The region is hiring more home support workers, who can help with grooming, bathing and managing medications.

Physiotherapists, nurses and other professionals can be dispatched to the home. to provide treatment and ensure the home is safe. Eight more home health liaisons have also been added to hospitals – they check on admitted patients daily to determine which ones can soon be discharged and start arranging home support services. Put together, ofďŹ cials are betting the Home is Best strategy will cut wait times for residential care and free up hospital beds for the patients who most need them. The shift to home has been talked about for years, but Foley says much more supports are now in place than in the past. They include programs like seniors day care, which might let an elderly woman taking care of her much more ill husband get a few hours break to pay the bills, shop or take time for herself. Longer term respite care could even let her take a vacation. Home care spending in Fraser Health has swelled to nearly $200 million a year, providing some kind of care or service in the home to 15,000 people daily. Some services are free, while in other cases patients pay fees based on income or are billed for supplies. Foley is ready for skeptics who may think the diverted seniors will end up undertreated in the name of saving the system money. “I believe the system has to step up and ex its muscle and show we can do what we want to do,â€? Foley said. • More info at http://www. fraserhealth.ca/your_care/ home_health_services/

You really owe it to yourself. Pay yourself first and save for what you want. Maria Contreras

But what if saving, say, $25 a week for the next year seems unrealistic?

RBC Royal Bank Product Manager, Savings Accounts

The 2012 Chevrolet Volt is the world’s first and only production extended range electric vehicle which uses a huge battery pack to cover 80 km before a small gasoline engine kicks in to drive a generator that allows the Volt to travel up to 500 km.

Volt from the blue? The Chevy Volt isn’t a hybrid and it isn’t all-electric. Chevy says it’s something even better Story and photo by Jim Robinson FOR BLACK PRESS

The first thing to know about the Chevrolet Volt is it’s not a hybrid and it’s not an all-electric car either. It is a fusion of both that Chevrolet calls an “extended range” vehicle. Unlike a hybrid, the Volt does not depend on a gasoline motor to share propulsion duties when the battery is depleted. And unlike an all-electric car, it won’t leave you stranded or panicking about whether you’ll make it home or not. Where the Volt differs, and this is the nub, is that it will travel up to 80 km on the battery alone. At that point a small, 1.4-litre gasoline engine kicks in to spin a generator that, in turn, powers the battery allowing a range of up to 500 km. According to Chevrolet, 29 per cent of commuters in the U.S. travel three to 16 kilometres a day and 78 per cent travel 64 kilometres or less a day. If you can limit your driving to under about 80 km a day, you may never have to pay for gasoline again. Or at least that’s what Chevrolet claims. So I wanted to find out how it worked in the real world. Everything is centred on the battery pack that Chevy calls its Voltec propulsion system the main component of which is a 5.5-foot, 435-pound (198.1 kg) T-shaped, 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This pumps energy to a 111-kW electric drive unit used to propel the vehicle. Drive involves two electric motors and one gasoline engine and a very complicated set of three clutches. The main motor that powers most of the driving produces 110 kW while the secondary 55 kW motor is the drive for the generator. Lastly the primary 1.4-litre gasoline engine produces 85 hp and can be clutched to the main motor for the extended range driving.

Chevrolet lists the combined power as 149 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. At this writing, Natural Resources Canada is still working out how to list fuel consumption because the Volt drive system is so unique. During my time with the Volt, there was no sensation of when power was being routed to the drive system or when regenerative braking was feeding recovered energy to the battery, although it was depicted on a monitor. The battery is warranted for eight years/160,000 miles. Canada is probably one of the best places on the planet to own a Volt. High ambient heat like the U.S. southern states takes a whack of the Volt’s power just to keep the battery cool, not to mention passengers, because air conditioning really draws down the power. Charging is simple enough but just what the cost will be is still very vague. You can plug your Volt into a 120V household outlet, but it takes about 10 hours to complete. A 240V outlet will take an estimated four hours. The downside is a special outlet with a dedicated 240V circuit needs to be installed. Chevrolet says it is talking with a third party on installations. In the U.S., you can buy a charger from Best Buy and they will install it for (US) $1,500. There is no estimate of what it might cost in Canada. On the highway, the Volt was quicker than I expected. No crawling along the inside lane in hopes of making it to my next charge. Not only does the Volt reach a top speed of 160 km/h, the electric drive unit’s excellent low speed torque of 273 lb/ft takes it from 0-60 mph in less than 9.0 seconds and the quarter mile in less than 17.0 seconds. Pricing on the Volt has been set at $41,545 and orders are now being taken in selected areas such as Toronto, Vancouver, Oshawa and Victoria. It will be available across Canada within 12 months. If you buy a Volt in Ontario or Quebec there are government rebates of $8,230 and $7,769 respectively. I heard B.C. is looking at a similar program but there’s nothing official as of this writing.
