With an alarming rate of SomaliCanadian men gunned down over the summer, York South-Weston MPP Laura Albanese felt compelled to address the issue with her constituents, many of whom come from the African country.

T h e S o m a l i Yo u t h Po l i c y Conference, held Saturday at the Learning Enrichment Foundation on Industry Street, brought together some 125 people from the Somali community in York South-Weston to discuss hurdles facing young people and how to combat barriers.

Conference attendees were divided into groups to discuss five key topics: the Youth Action Plan unveiled in August by Eric Hoskins, Ontario’s former children and youth minister; education; narrative research; families; and hidden, which addressed issues that aren’t always talked about such as mental illness or addiction.

The Youth Action Plan focuses on giving young people the support they need to succeed and keep communities safe.

“The Somali community seemed to be particularly hit by violence of their youths,” Albanese said, adding half a dozen young Somali men have died since June. >>>residents, page 5

Provincial politics

Hoskins joins Ontario Liberal leadership race LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com

In announcing his bid for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal party, St. Paul’s MPP Eric Hoskins positioned himself as a relative newcomer to politics with a wide range of valuable experience outside government.

“I’m not a veteran, I’m not a newcomer, I’m somewhere in between,” Hoskins told reporters moments after

announcing his candidacy Tuesday at the Centre for Social Innovation on Bathurst Street south of Bloor Street.

Hoskins’ statement came a day after former ParkdaleHigh Park MPP Gerard Kennedy described himself as an outsider unburdened by unpopular policies of today’s Liberal government because he has been away from Queen’s Park for six years.

As Hoskins sat with his arm

draped over the shoulders of his seven-year-old son Rhys, his wife, Samantha Nutt, introduced her husband as a humanitarian, the co-founder and former president of War Child Canada dedicated to helping children in war-torn areas around the world, a doctor, a public health specialist, a Rhodes scholar and an officer of the Order of Canada.

“Eric is not politics as usual and I think that is a good

thing,” she said.

Hoskins, first elected in a byelection in 2009, argued his lack of political experience is more than compensated for by his extensive work in other fields.

“Here’s what I am not new to: I am not new to the purpose and responsibilities of good government. Nor am I new to the task of building communities, strengthening social programs and investing in the education of our

children,” said Hoskins, who resigned his seat as minister of children and youth services last Friday to run for the leadership.

In addition to Hoskins and Kennedy, others who have declared their intention to seek the leadership so far include Don Valley West MPP Kathleen Wynne, Toronto Centre MPP Glen Murray, Mississauga MPP Charles Sousa and former Windsor MPP Sandra Pupatello.

West Park health centre wins awards Last week was a good one for West Park Healthcare Centre, which won two awards in health care quality and energy efficiency.

The rehabilitation centre near Jane Street and Weston Road achieved the platinum level of the Quality Healthcare Workplace Award, one of only five Ontario hospitals to receive the recognition.

Other hospitals to achieve the standard include the Hospital for Sick Children and University Health Network.

Presented by the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) and the Ministry of Health, the award recognizes West Park’s efforts to improve its workplace in ways that contribute to the quality of care and services it delivers and also for employees.

“The quality of the work environment for staff and physicians is very important at West Park,” president Anne-Marie Malek said in a statement.

“The efforts we have made in this area not only improve employee/ physician wellness, but ultimately improve quality of care and patient safety. This is part of our DNA at West Park and I am proud of all the staff and physicians who make West Park the quality workplace it is. This award is for them and their daily efforts.”

A survey conducted last year found

up for grabs

West Park employees ranked the organization above provincial averages in almost every category such as job flexibility, decision-making and workload.

West Park also won a Green Health Care award in energy efficiency, presented by the OHA and the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care.

It recognizes the organization’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact through conserving energy, using energy-efficient technology and finding alternative forms of energy.

“This award is further proof West Park is on the right path,” Mike Bonnah, West Park’s director of operations and logistics and chief energy conservation officer, said in a statement.

“We embarked on this path over 25 years ago and each year we make new strides in energy conservation and efficiency.”

In 2010/2011, West Park saved almost $200,000 by reducing its energy and water consumption, lessened its carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3,200 tons and donated used lighting and plumbing fixtures to community organizations such as Habitat for Humanity.

West Park provides specialized rehabilitation, complex continuing care and long-term care.

Arrest in poppy box thefts Police have arrested a man wanted in connection with poppy donation box thefts.

Between Tuesday, Nov. 6 and Thursday, Nov. 8, Royal Canadian Legion donation boxes were stolen from two Eglinton Avenue restaurants and one Oakwood Avenue store, police said.

Christopher Ethier, 31, of Toronto, was arrested Thursday, Nov. 8 and charged with three counts of theft under $5,000, three counts of possession of property obtained by crime and three counts of fail to comply with probation.

Federal funding to help restore Jewish war memorial The federal government will contribute more than $5,000 to restore the Canadian Jewish War Veterans Memorial, it was announced Friday.

“Our government is committed to encouraging Canadians, young and old, to remember and honour veterans and the brave service men and women who serve our country,” Steven Blaney, minister of veterans affairs, said in a release.

“Local war memorials, such as the Canadian Jewish War Veterans Memorial, acknowledge and reflect the appreciation for our veterans of current and past generations.”

The government will contribute $5,300 to its restoration, which is erected in memory of Jewish Canadians who fought during the Second World War and later conflicts.

Members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256 (General Wingate), located on Marlee Avenue, will add two new structures to the existing Canadian Jewish War Veterans Memorial in Mount Sinai Memorial Park, located on Wilson Avenue, east of Keele Street.

The new structures will commemorate Jewish Canadians who lost their lives during the First World

War. “I commend the members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256 for their dedication to honouring veterans,” Eglinton-Lawrence MP Joe Oliver said in a release.

“Helping community groups restore local memorials is one way our government is working to ensure young Canadians and their families will learn about and remember the achievements and sacrifices of our veterans.”

Funding for this initiative is provided through the Cenotaph/ Monument Restoration Program. For information, visit veterans.gc.ca

Infrastructure funding must become priority A

coalition of municipal and business groups working to put the pressure on the federal government to come up with a national funding plan to deal with growing transit and infrastructure needs has made it clear that cities such as Toronto can’t wait much longer.

The Municipal Infrastructure Forum was created by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) just over a year ago and is made our view up of representatives of municipal governments, business, chambers of commerce and other groups such Leadership as the Insurance Board of Canada needed from and the Canadian Union of Public Employees. local MPs At a press conference in Toronto, speakers such as Toronto Board of Trade CEO Carol Wilding, FCM president Karen Leibovici and Robert Tremblay, from the Insurance Board of Canada, talked about the toll aging infrastructure systems are taking on the city.

“Our overstretched networks are becoming a major barrier to our growing economy,” Wilding said.

“Toronto’s problems of gridlock and poor transit connectivity are among the worst of any major urban centre in the world.”

Tremblay also offered a warning about how Toronto would fare if it had been hit by a storm similar to what New York City had to deal with when super storm Sandy recently hit, and it wasn’t a pretty picture. He said Toronto’s water and sewer systems are “underdesigned” and not built to withstand instances of extreme weather.

“That’s what the real challenge is, making sure our infrastructure can withstand the new climatic realities,” Tremblay said. Missing from this equation, however, is clear direction from the federal government.

What’s needed is guaranteed, long-term funding that recognizes the importance of these needs.

These are investments in our future the federal government must take the lead on. Provincial and municipal governments also have a huge role to play, but the leadership starts with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Toronto residents should be asking their MPs, especially those who are members of the Conservative government, where they stand and what they are going to do. A sewer and water system that can’t deal with major storms puts our safety at risk. Congested roads and a public transit system that’s decades out of date puts our jobs and economic future at risk.

Toronto’s MPs must address these issues and start showing some political leadership.

To the editor: Remembrance Day has come and gone. We give thanks to those who fought in the Boer War, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Afghanistan and peace keeping for our rights and freedom.

We honour them and remember those who gave the supreme sacrifice by wearing a red poppy.

But the fight for our rights and freedom did not start with the Boer War. In 1812, Canadian volunteers and British soldiers joined forces to fight an invading army.

After the battle of Lundy’s Lane, it was noticed by the locals that red geraniums were growing over the battlefield. When the War of 1812 ended, citizens started to wear red geraniums to honour those who fought and to remember the ones who gave their lives.

In 2013, let us bring back the tradition of wearing a red geranium.

In minor hockey, timing is everything for parents

I

dropped by my old stomping grounds at Dick Duff Arena on the weekend to catch some hockey and on the way in I was almost bowled over by a father and son scurrying by.

Dad was lugging the two goalie sticks, pads and hockey bag belonging to his 10-year-old who was carrying only a cellphone.

They made a mad dash for the dressing room. But the door was blocked by a burly gentleman who had coach written all over him – and on the top left corner of his jacket, too.

Coach: “Well, well. Look who finally decided to grace us with their presence.”

Father: “Uh, I can explain, Coach...”

Coach: “If you don’t mind Dad, I was talking to Junior.

Now Junior, my watch clearly says 4:30 and your designated arrival time for a five o’clock game is four o’clock. Now, what did I tell you about being late?”

but seriously

jamie wayne

Son: “Don’t be late, Coach.”

Coach: “Could you speak up a tad? The acoustics for lame excuses are awful in this arena.”

Son: “DON’T BE LATE. Coach.”

Father: “Really, I can explain, Coach...”

Coach: “If you don’t mind Dad, I was talking to Junior.

Now Junior, over the years how many times do you figure I’ve told you not to be late?”

Son: “About a gazillion times, Coach. Give or take a bajillion.”

Coach: “Interesting. Yet, you’re still late. And what happens when you’re late?”

Son: “You let down the

team, Coach. You let down yourself, Coach. You let down the coach, Coach.”

Coach: “Is that it?”

Son: “Nope. You also let down the game, Coach. You let down the country, Coach.

You let down mankind, Coach. You let down the universe Coach. And you let down the great beyond too, Coach.”

Coach: “Not that drivel, Junior. I meant the important stuff, the consequences.

What are the repercussions if one is late?”

Son: “100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, 100 pull-ups and...”

Father: “A hundred pushups, sit-ups and pull-ups?

Come on, he’s only 10.”

Coach: “I hate to break it to you, Dad, they’re for you, not him. Last I checked you were the one piloting the SUV that brought him here late.”

Son: “But Coach ...”

Coach: “I was talking to Senior, Junior. Any time you’re ready, Dad.”

Son: “But Coooooach...”

Coach: “Oh, alright. What is it, Junior?”

Son: “You left out the best part – the 100 wind sprints.

Forward and backward. You interrupted before I could finish. How could you forget them? You’re getting soft in your old age, Coach. You know what happens when you get soft?”

Coach: “Yeah, yeah. I know, I know, I know. You let down the team, yourself, the coach, the game, mankind, and the universe.”

Son: “Apparently you don’t know. You left out the great beyond. Talk about rookie mistakes. Shame on you, Coach. Don’t let it happen again. Now, step on it Dad. I’ve got a game to play.” n Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously.

Residents gather in York South-Weston to discuss hurdles facing young people >>>from page 1 “I had been asked by some members of the community what I could do. I thought of bringing everyone together.”

After discussing it with Hoskins, Albanese said he was hoping to organize the same type of conference with the Somali community, but on a city-wide level. That conference is scheduled for this month at a date to be determined, as Albanese would like the new minister of children and youth services to attend. Hoskins resigned from cabinet Friday to enter the Ontario Liberal leadership race.

Access to jobs and afterschool programs in York South-Weston are paramount in helping Somali youth succeed and avoid a life of violence, Albanese said.

“We talked about the cultural clash between youth and parents, the role of fathers,” she said.

“The conference was aimed

place. The community calls it a crisis. They don’t understand why so many young people are leading their lives this way.

(The conference) was a first step and I’m pleased the community came together.”

Muse Kulow, publisher of Immigrant Post Magazine and

a key organizer of the Somali Youth Policy Conference, said a lot of newcomers don’t talk about the problems facing their children, such as gangs and violent lifestyles.

“We wanted to educate the community and speak loudly of the problems,” he said.

IF YOU WORK IN ONTARIO, THIS IS YOUR FIGHT. On September 11, 2012, the Ontario Liberal government passed Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act, 2012.

Bill 115 is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and unprecedented.

• It takes away the democratic rights of teachers and education professionals to bargain collectively.

• It places the government beyond the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Ontario Labour Relations Act, and even the courts.

• It takes local decision-making away from school boards and puts it in the hands of the provincial government.

That’s why we’re standing against Bill 115. It sets a dangerous precedent for all Ontarians. In fact, the government has already threatened other public sector workers with similar legislation.

As teachers, we teach your children to stand up for their principles. Today, we ask you to do the same.

What can you do to help?

Join us in standing up for democratic rights. Let your MPP know that Bill 115 must be repealed.

MY LIFE

MY MEDICINE is my hope My name is Steven Croucher I’m 19 years old I’m from Montreal and I live with constant neuropathic pain

I was born with a condition known as neurofibromatosis that has caused tumours to grow on my brain. Battling these tumours has left me with pain throughout my entire body. It’s all I have ever known, it’s my life, and it’s exhausting. I try to lead a normal life - going to school, playing sports, just like any other 19 year old. But the pain means I have to work harder to focus, I get tired, and I need more sleep. My medicine is really good — but it could be better. For now I’m waiting, hoping that someday someone will discover a new medicine to stop the pain for good. www.canadapharma.org/hope Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies Making Canada Better

Symbolic Jarvis bike lane war continues

I

t’s been a traumatic week for cyclists in downtown Toronto.

The city’s transportation department kicked off the week attempting to remove a pair of bike lanes on Jarvis Street. Members of the cycling community responded by doing their best to stop that work from taking place.

The fight over the Jarvis bike lanes continues, an ugly echo of a very ugly election campaign in which the lanes themselves became a symbol of the very symbolic war on the car.

For those on the “car” side of that war, their removal is a victory – the knocking down of the Berlin Bike Lane, as it were.

Of course, in addition to its properties as a symbolic battlefield, the Jarvis Street bike lanes also had a practical application: they were a piece of a larger infrastructure that makes it safer for cyclists to travel north and south to the east of Yonge Street.

And to that end, the proponents of removing the

lanes offered up a placating alternative. Just a few blocks further to the east, the city would take the bike lanes on Sherbourne Street and turn them into fully separated lanes.

The argument there was that full separation from traffic would make an even safer route for cyclists than the Jarvis lanes, which are only lines of paint.

I’m not so sure that’s the case. I’ve ridden those lanes as a commuter, and observed them as a pedestrian. And it seems to me the separated lanes are more of a comfort to drivers on Sherbourne than they are to cyclists.

The entire run isn’t finished, and the part I’ve ridden is the very northward section, from Wellesley Street to Bloor Street. The

lanes vary between raised sections of curb about the height of the sidewalk, open spots where buses and taxis can pull up to the curb, and sections of road blocked off by speed-hump-sized raised curbs. The lanes are a little wider than a standard bike lane, making it possible for considerate cyclists to pass one another, with care.

It is considerably more difficult to get around a car that has pulled onto the bike lane: crossing the curb that a car can mount easily would likely result in a tumble for anyone but a very experienced cyclist.

Under the current administration, separated bike lanes in the downtown core along with expanded recreational trails look to be the future of cycling infrastructure. And that infrastructure works very well to get cyclists off the roads now dedicated to cars.

Luxury Laundry First it was glamorous bathrooms with crystal chandeliers over massive soaker tubs.

Then kitchen renovations got the special treatment with exotic wood cabinetry, Italian tile backsplashes and sophisticated appliances that looked as good as they cooked.

So it’s no wonder that the laundry room is the next functional room with a view to a makeover. With all the time we spend washing, drying, ironing and folding clothes, laundry rooms are at last becoming the places we’d actually like to spend that kind of time in.

The trick to a luxurious laundry room is function and form.

Top loading washers and dryers are back. How many times do your small clothing items hit the floor before going from the washer to the dryer? These top-loading washer dryer pairs make it

easier to transition clothing from one machine to the other and ultimately create a more ergonomically correct and comfortable laundry experience.

An added bonus is that many of these are also environmentally friendly and can help you save enough water to shower once a day for six months.

Many machines also now come in a variety of colours to add a splash of interest to your laundry room and coordinate with cabinetry and other decorative touches.

With colours like white, grey and purple, doing laundry can now be a beautiful experience.

The colour doesn’t have to stop there. Try a calming colour on the walls like a light blue instead of your basic neutrals.

Create a comfortable and fashionable space to stand

while folding with a soft, durable area rug with a pattern that compliments your walls and floor.

You won’t want to close the door to the laundry room anymore, you’ll want to show it off.

Greater Toronto Area realtors reported 6,896 transactions through the TorontoMLS system in October 2012 – a decrease of 7.1 per cent compared to October 2011.

There were two more business days in October 2012 versus October 2011. On a per business day basis, transactions were down by 15.6 per cent.

“Sales have decreased in the second half of this year compared to 2011, especially since the onset of stricter mortgage lending guidelines at the beginning of July,” says Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) President Ann Hannah.

“The prospect of higher monthly mortgage payments due to the reduced maximum amortization period has prompted some households to delay their home purchase.”

The average selling price for October transactions was $503,479 – up 6.2 per cent. The MLS Home Price Index composite benchmark price, which allows for an apples-to-apples comparison in terms of home attributes, was up by 5.1 per cent.

“We continue to see price increases well above the rate of inflation. Active listings have remained low from a historic perspective, so substantial competition between buyers still exists, especially for low-rise homes,” says Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior months as the market has gradManager of Market Analysis.

“It should be noted, that the ually become better supplied,” annual rate of price increase has continues Mercer.

Toronto’s transit and infrastructure needs are critical: municipal forum RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A dedicated national funding plan for infrastructure would go a long way toward addressing Toronto’s chronic gridlock issues, says a spokesperson for a coalition of economic and municipal groups.

Speaking on behalf of the Municipal Infrastructure Forum (MIF), Carol Wilding wants more money from the federal government to put toward the nation’s deteriorating core infrastructure such as roadways and transit systems, which the CEO of the Toronto Board of Trade believes is creating rampant congestion in the city and resulting in productivity losses in the billions of dollars.

“Our overstretched networks are becoming a major barrier to our growing economy,” said Wilding, from the Toronto Board of Trade’s downtown office, which hosted a press conference for MIF last Thursday.

“Toronto’s problems of gridlock and poor transit connectivity are among the worst

of any major urban centre in the world.”

While the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper is scheduled to release a infrastructure funding plan by 2014 – to replace the existing $8.8-billion Building Canada plan – the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), which spearheaded the formation of MIF more than a year ago, wants to see money allocated as soon as next year’s budget, to be tabled by the spring.

“Canada cannot afford to lose a construction season,” said Karen Leibovici, president of FCM. “A new long-term plan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reverse the long decline in our local infrastructure and to keep Canada on the road to jobs and growth.”

Robert Tremblay from the Insurance Bureau of Canada, who also spoke at the press conference, said damage incurred from the Sandy super storm that ravaged the U.S. east coast in late October caused around $20 billion in insurance claims.

He warned a similar weather event touching down in Toronto would be devastating for the local economy since the city’s water and sewer infrastructure, as well as its road networks, are “underdesigned” and not built to withstand the impact of extreme weather.

“The issue here is not just inconvenience like basement flooding,” said Tremblay, who is the director of research for the Insurance Board of Canada. “The fact is, infrastructure underpins every economic activity.

Wilding said she hoped to see a guarantee from the federal government for transit funding spanning decades to ensure completion of the provincial Big Move transportation plan.

“Businesses will tell you the number one issue is transit and transportation,” said Wilding. “It’s a significant regional challenge.”

Of the estimated $50 billion it would cost to complete the plan, only $10 billion has thus far been allocated by the provincial government.

COLD STARTS VS. IDLING You may believe that you’re doing the best for your vehicle by allowing it to‘warm up’ in the cold weather with a few minutes of idling. In fact, more than just the engine needs to be warmed up and this can only happen if the vehicle is moving. For an average vehicle, it takes about five kilometers of driving to warm up the engine as well as the wheel bearings, steering, sus-

pension, transmission and tires.

SHUTTING THE ENGINE DOWN One of the false arguments made to justify idling is that it costs money to shut the engine down. That is a complete misnomer. Ten seconds of idling consumes the same amount of fuel as starting the engine after shutting it down. As for the wear and tear factor on the battery and starter, it adds up to about 10 dollars per year, compared to saving an average of 66-litres of gasoline a year by simply reducing idle time from five minutes to 30 seconds.

Prolonged idling is also one of the worst things the owner can do to an engine. Aside from being a complete waste of fuel, excessive idling can contaminate the engine oil, which will lead to premature, and very costly, engine wear.

KEEPING THE TANK TOPPED-UP The practice of idling with a low fuel level not only stirs up any dirt in the tank, but it also promotes the build-up of condensation in the tank, especially in colder temperatures.

FIRST LOOK: HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE 3.8 GT 2013 T.he 2013 Genesis Coupe gets a serious power boost. Add to that a more aggressive exterior design with new front fascia, grille, headlights, fog lights and hood design and you end up with a Genesis Coupe that has significant improvements for 2013.

The rear of the refreshed Hyundai Genesis Coupe shows off new LED taillights.

The interior of the 2013 Genesis Coupe is attractively laid out, with a nice mix of soft-touch materials, textures and metallic accents, along with electroluminescent instruments.

The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is an affordable performance car aimed at the driving enthusiast. The big news is a boost in power from 306 to 348 hp for the 3.8-litre engine and 210 to 274 hp for the 2.0T. The GT comes with 19-inch alloy wheels and a bright red Brembo brake package.

This V6 makes 348 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque.

The refreshed Genesis Coupe sports a more menacing demeanour with an aggressively redesigned front fascia, grille, headlights, LED daytime running lights, fog lights, and hood.

MARINO’S FINE CARS

■411 ON THE GENESIS: Hyundai’s re-do of the Genesis Coupe for 2013 is much more than the nip here and a tuck there.

To start with, the 2013 Genesis Coupe gets a serious power boost.

Thanks in part to direct injection technology, the 3.8-litre Lambda DOHC V6 engine in the GT gains 42 horsepower to 348 and 29 lb/ft of torque to 295 that will propel the car from 0-100 km in the low fivesecond range.

Add to that a more aggressive exterior design with new front fascia, grille, headlights, fog lights and hood design and you end up with a Genesis Coupe that has significant improvements for 2013. Other new features are retuned, low-velocity control suspension dampers, electroluminescent gauge cluster with information display, telescopic steering wheel added to the tilt function, power lumber adjustments for the driver’s seat and redesigned centre stack.

The base 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine is also significantly more powerful with a new twin-scroll turbocharger and a larger, more thermally efficient intercooler. A track-ready 2.0 T R-Spec model includes high-performance equipment like Brembo brakes, 19-inch wheels with summer tires, limited slip differential and a stiffer suspension. A 2.0T Premium model upgrades the interior of the standard 2.0T and adds items like touchscreen navigation system, 360-watt

Infinity audio system, leather seats with two-stage front heaters, and power sunroof.

The cabin of the Genesis Coupe has a much more upscale look and feel than before. Among the new trim features is a stitched seam on the dashboard, while soft touch materials have a lower sheen for a more luxurious look.

On the centre stack is a multigauge cluster with instant fuel economy, torque level (3.8 GT models) or turbocharged booster pressure (2.0T models) and oil temperature. The sport front seats have deep side bolsters for improved lateral support.

Outside, 18- and 19-inch alloy wheels on the Genesis Coupe are all new for this year as are LED taillights.

Even with the more muscular look, the car’s proportions are unchanged with short front and rear overhangs, creating a wedge-like profile with broad shoulders and a wide stance.

Spring, damper and bushing ratings have all been recalibrated this time around for better road feel, more precise body motion control and best of all, more ride comfort.

The 3.8 GT has a track-tuned suspension that offers firmer front and rear spring rates, and even with the firmer suspension, ride comfort shows a huge improvement.

The Genesis Coupe was already a great car, but with the improvements for 2013, Hyundai has made it even better. – Metroland Media

Hybrid powers up 2013 VW Jetta Not content with offering affordable low consumption gasoline and diesel cars, Volkswagen has added a third option with the 2013 Jetta Hybrid.

You would think a small displacement diesel and gas vehicle would be enough for the fuel efficiency conscious, but Volkswagen is convinced increasing numbers of buyers feel some form of hybrid should be their next choice.

A 1.4-litre inline four-cylinder turbo direct injection gasoline engine producing 150 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque powers the Jetta Hybrid. Combined with a 20 kW (27 hp, 114 lb/ft) electric motor for a total 170 hp and the same 184 lb/ft of torque. â– AT A GLANCE: BODY STYLE: Compact hybrid sedan.

DRIVE METHOD: front-engine/electric motor, front-wheel-drive.

ENGINE: 1.4-litre four-cylinder inline turbocharged (150 hp, 184 lb/ft of torque); 20kW (27 hp, 114 lb/ft); combined 170 hp/184 lb ft FUEL ECONOMY: (Est.) 4.4L/100 km combined CARGO CAPACITY: 11.3 cu ft (0.32 cu m PRICE: Trendline, $27,875; Comfortline $30,175; Highline $34,025.

WEBSITE: www.vw.ca

According to VW, the Jetta Hybrid uses about 20 per cent less fuel than an equivalently sized sedan with a gasoline engine. In city stop/go driving that goes up to about 30 per cent. In pure electric mode that Jetta Hybrid can hit up to 6070 km/h and travel up to 2.0 km depending on driving conditions.

The hybrid system borrows technology from the Touareg Hybrid CUV using a clutch that decouples the gasoline engine when in electric mode or “coasting�.

Besides regenerative power being routed back the battery when braking, when the driver lifts off the accelerator at speeds up to 100 km/h and coasts, this also serves to provide power to the lithium-ion battery.

The 220-volt lithium-ion battery is located under the rear seat and weighs 163 lb. By watching the weight, the Jetta Hybrid comes in at just 221 lb more than the standard sedan. Even the seven-speed dual clutch transmission is trimmed down in size and weight.

There are about three separate ways of monitoring your fuel conservation.

When driving, it is hard to take you eyes off the ePower meter that is part of the overall hybrid energy flow display integrated into the multi-info readout found in the main instrument cluster.

Here’s where it gets cool.

The Power Meter is an additional mul-

tifunctional display that replaces the tach on the left side of the instrument cluster. It informs the driver of the momentary operating state of the Jetta Hybrid.

You can watch the tach needle swing up and down as the engine kicks in or when regenerative power is replenishing the battery. Lastly, when you give it the gas and the battery adds its thrust, the needle swings all the way to the right in the boost mode.

But wait, there’s more.

Part of the audio system also helps coach the driver with messages on the audio display.

For instance, the audio display’s Zero Emissions menu offers a graphic of the car’s zero emissions driving time. The zero emissions values are shown in the form of percentages in a bar diagram, where the measurement interval of one bar represents one minute of driving.

A value of 100 per cent means that the car was driven with zero emissions throughout the driving minute, i.e., with the TSI engine shut off. The effective time period for this is 30 minutes.

Lastly the audio monitor can also give an instantaneous depiction of the flow of energy back in forth between t

he engine and battery.

The Jetta still boasts the biggest interior passenger volume in the compact segment and, despite the battery back intruding into the trunk, cargo volume is still adequate at 11.3 cu ft.

There is no doubt electrification of the automobile is no longer a novelty but part of the route to greener, cleaner transportation.

With the Hybrid added to the gasoline and diesel Jetta lineup, Volkswagen is on the right road to that goal.

Still fun after all these years

Mazda got it right more than two decades ago with the MX-5 (nee Miata) and it still is one of the greatest fun vehicles for the buck you can buy.

I have driven a MX-5 every year since the first one bowed in 1989 and it still provides tons of driving enjoyment, as it did the very first time I got behind the wheel.

The Mazda got it right the first time. In fact, besides dropping the name Miata in favour of MX-5, little has changed over the past 23 years. There is still a smalldisplacement inline four-cylinder engine mounted longitudinally with rear-drive. When it debuted, the engine was a 116 hp, 1.6-litre.

Then it was bumped up to 1.8-litres in 2000 with 140 hp. Today it is 2.0-litres and 167 hp.

Imagine, just 400cc in more than two decades and this, coupled with the low weight, still gives the MX-5 enough power to have fun but not enough to get yourself in trouble.

And that’s the beauty of it. You can toss it around, enjoy the proverbial wind in your hair all for un-

der 30 grand.

Which brings me to another thing that surprisingly has not changed over the years and that’s the price.

Tested here is a box-stock base GX model with five-speed manual transmission priced at $29,145. I tested the same car in the year 2000 with the five-speed and it was priced at $27,145. And when you consider the 2013 MX-5 comes standard with expensive items such as traction control, stability control plus front and side airbags, the price comes out just about even.

Now you can add a lot. The GX is the only model with the fivespeed manual. The GS and GT have a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic with paddle shifters but that, in my opinion, defeats the purpose.

If you go higher up the Miata feeding chain, there is an optional metal folding top. But the cloth top of the current car has evolved. Now it has glass rear window, not vinyl.

The glass rear window has an electric defogger which is far better than the plastic one that would go opaque and tear over time.

There is a trunk with 150 litres of cargo volume. You could shoehorn two golf bags if you took the clubs out first, but two-three overnight bags is more like it.

On most of the highways I travelled, the speed limit was 80 km/h so passing is just a snick down into fourth and you’re by.

The overriding sensation of the 2012 MX-5 is its lightness – not just on the controls but the whole car. Part of this is due to the engine being as far back

as the engineers could place it. Couple that to the drive being just behind your behind, the mass is well in the centre of the four wheels.

This translates to the nexus of the mass being just about between the seats, letting the driver get maximum directional stability by feeling he/she is at the fulcrum of any turn.

Not only does this make you feel in full control but, with the top down eliminating any blind spots, the little MX-5 just screams “let’s enjoy ourselves�.

Which is exactly what I did.

Mindful that it was a perfect fall day and the provincial police were out in force, just rolling along taking in the sights, colours and sounds of that surprisingly quiet 2.0-litre engine made for a memorable day.

I have to confess I love walking up to the MX-5 with the top down and just plunking myself down fighter pilot style.

The steering wheel was and remains perfectly placed with all the information you need contained in the tight instrument package directly in the line of sight.

It is the kind of car you feel a connection with – something impossible with a CUV or hybrid.

As this is being written, Mazda is working in concert with AlfaRomeo on a new small sportscar probably to replace the MX-5.

Will it be better?

In terms of the latest technology and engineering, undoubtedly. – Jim Robinson Metroland Media
