HEALTH

Funds set to help ER wait times Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby Hospital is slated to receive nearly $1.25 million in additional funding from the province to help decrease emergency wait times. The money is part of the Ministry of Health’s patient-focused funding strategy announced earlier this year. Emergency departments at 15 hospitals in B.C. will be given almost $22 million in patient-focused funding overall, according to a press release from the Health Ministry. “We are building on the success of emergency decongestion pilot projects in the Lower Mainland, where up to 40 per cent more patients experienced shorter waits in some Vancouver and “We are building Fraser Valley on the success of hospitals,” said Minister emergency decon- Health Kevin Falcon in gestion pilot proj- a press release. ects in the Lower “With almost two million visits to Mainland.” B.C. emergency rooms last year KEVIN FALCON alone, this investHealth minister ment will help ensure patients receive timely, high-quality patient care.” Patient wait times improved last year, he said, despite a 15 per cent increase in emergency room volumes, which he said was primarily due to the H1N1 flu. “Since the emergency decongestion pilot project began, we’ve made design and care improvements that have resulted in reduced wait times, shorter emergency department stays for patients waiting for a hospital bed, and improved staff morale,” said Dr. Eric Grafstein, head of emergency services for Providence Health Care, in the press release. ER rooms in the Lower Mainland are part of the pilot programs developed through the Lower Mainland Innovation and Integration Fund, and have received patient-focused funding since the beginning of the year. The amount each department will receive varies from $5.9 million to Vancouver General Hospital for the full year, to $261,000 to Prince George Hospital for part of the year. Hospital Page 4

Chumming around: Jonathan Hill with a chum salmon in Stoney Creek. Coho salmon are appearing in the creek roughly a month earlier than usual this season

Coho run early – check it out Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Salmon are returning to Burnaby’s Stoney Creek, some a lot earlier than normal. The Stoney Creek Environment Committee’s Vladimir Soukhatchev said volunteers have spotted about 20 to 25 chum and about eight or 10 coho, but mostly jacks. (Jacks are small-sized adult salmon.) The coho were spotted about a month earlier than normal. “Coho never show up earlier than November, but we have coho this year very, very early,” Soukhatchev said. “We’ve never seen (coho) the same time as chum. They are always later.” Soukhatchev isn’t sure why they are coming earlier, but volunteers will continue weekly counts of returning slamon. Last year they found a shortage of coho, and

Soukhatchev said this year there were fewer coho juveniles. “It means we have a shortage of fish, and we have to find out what the cause of this is,” Soukhatchev said. Baby coho stay in the creek for a year before heading out to sea, while chum go straight to salt water after they emerge from the gravel. Paul Cipywnyk, of the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers, said volunteers have been keeping an eye on the creek but have yet to spot any salmon– chum or coho. Nick Kvenich, of the Eagle Creek Streamkeepers, hasn’t heard any reports of salmon in the creek yet, apart from a large female coho and about five coho jacks and four wild cutthroat trout. Kvenich said the salmon are sitting in the Fraser, waiting for a heavy rain so it’s easier for them to move upstream. Construction on SFU’s new winter operations facil-

Projects under budget

The new driving range at the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course was delivered under budget, according to a finance committee report presented to council on Monday night. The two-level covered and heated driving range, with a total of 60 bays, was completed in June. Studio One Architecture was the designer and contract administrator for the project. Ledcor Special Projects, a division of Ledcor Construction Ltd., was awarded a contract in the amount of $3,094,350 to

construct the new driving range, beginning in October 2009. The total budget for the project was $4.2 million. The project came in at $4,021,657. Repairs and renovations to the leisure pool at the Bonsor Recreation Complex were also completed under budget. The repairs were primarily finished in August, and the pool reopened to the public on Aug. 24. The project budget was $666,665, but it came in at $613,327. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Hospital: ER gets more funding continued from page 3

There were more than 1.96 million emergency department visits throughout the province from 2009 to 2010, while visits to the 15 hospitals receiving patientfocused funding came to 864,016, or 44 per cent of the province’s total visits, according to the release. The province’s wait time goals, for the time patients spend in the ER in total, is four hours for higher need patients, and two hours for those with less complex treatment needs. The ministry also announced in September that it was giving $23.4 million more to provincial health authorities as part of its patient-focused funding initiative. The bulk of the funding, $20.4 million, is for surgical and medical procedures while $3 million is for MRI exams, Falcon said in a press release.

Additional MRIs are being scheduled across the region, Fraser Health spokesperson Joan Marshall told the NOW in September, and Burnaby Hospital is receiving funding for approximately 800 more surgical procedures. By 2012/13, patient-focused funding is expected to be 20 per cent of healthcare funding provided by the province, while the other 80 per cent will remain as block funding, according to the press release. The province is planning to spend $250 million over the next two years to launch the patient-focused funding model to the 23 largest hospitals across the province, Falcon announced in April. Patient-focused funding pays hospitals per patient treated and is intended to move people through the health-care system more quickly and decrease waiting times. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

our city). Taylor has already said she wants to break the “ivory tower” mould and find more ways to communicate knowledge and experience to the community and create more conversations and debate in the real world. Part of this approach is, we believe, because Taylor’s whole experience points to communication, consultation, problem solving and debate. And, part

of the need for expanding partnerships and building new connections is clearly driven by a much more competitive education environment. There are simply more universities today then there were five years ago. There is less government support and funding. There are less philanthropic dollars going around. Taylor’s leadership model is a perfect fit for the university and the city. We wish her well in her new job.

Chasing the American dream IN MY OPINION

Alfie Lau

n several months, prominent high school athletes will put pen to paper on national signing day and commit to a highprofile American university on an athletic scholarship. The camera flashes will catch the young 17-year-old with a huge smile and a colourful jersey for schools such as the Oregon State Beavers or the Robert Morris Colonials. But where are those same cameras when an injured 20-year-old returns home to the Lower Mainland to continue their education? That point hit home hard for me with a recent Vancouver Sun story about Athina Vazeos, a 20year-old SFU communications student who used to have a water polo scholarship at the University of California-Berkeley in northern California. I’ve known about Athina for seven years now because her mother, Leanna, used to work at the Burnaby NOW and The Record in the classified department. Leanna would often come to myself or sports editor Tom Berridge with Athina’s latest accomplishments, and we would find a small spot in the paper for

her. When Athina got her scholarship to Berkeley, I remember how excited Leanna was about moving her daughter to the San Francisco area. Athina had a great first year for Berkeley, but an arm injury has sidelined her for more than a year. And because she can’t play water polo, that athletic scholarship has disappeared into the ether and Athina’s back in B.C., studying to become a teacher. I give full marks to Athina for having the courage to tell her story because it’s not easy for what we term the “bounceback” students to tell their story. Student-athletes who don’t succeed wildly are easily discarded in favour of the next great hope, and there are no cameras to capture the moment when the student-athlete becomes just a student. Failure is the wrong word, but for many of these kids, it is the first time they haven’t succeeded spectacularly. As happy as that February day when someone signs on for a big scholarship, it’s probably equally sad on that summer day as that person packs up and returns to their local university or college. While I’m sad to hear that Athina’s water polo career may be in jeopardy, I’m heartened to hear she has a good enough head on her shoulders – good job, Leanna – to focus on the rest of her life and how she can still be a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Innocent till proven guilty, right? Dear Editor:

Re: Sounds like a good ruling – unless it hits you, Our View, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 16. Does the Supreme Court no longer see defence lawyers as officers of the court? The results of this ruling are easy to predict. Hardened criminals will have the gall to remain silent or the guile to fabricate a convincing story. They have had plenty of legal advice in the past. Novice criminals, who have just committed their first crime, will have the knowledge to fabricate a story and an incentive to refuse to speak. It is the average citizen, with no knowledge of the crime, who will be taken in by the trick questions and pressure tactics that the police often employ. The outrageous nature of some crimes will naturally affect the police officers’ ability to remain impartial. I don’t blame them for this, but their preliminary

judgments must not go unchallenged. In court, the police have to prove guilt, and the defence lawyer and judge hold them to proper procedure. This is no longer so in the interrogation room. If they perceive guilt, their actions will revolve around assumption of guilt. They need someone present to keep them from going too far, and that someone is the lawyer, a necessary officer of the court. Without this, it all comes down to a judge who wasn’t present at the time trying to reconstruct after the fact if the interrogation was done legally. After a few false convictions based on pressure confessions, the word will go out to all citizens: Never cooperate. This ruling brings justice into disrepute, and it should be reviewed at the earliest possible opportunity, if not by the court, then by Parliament. We are innocent until proven guilty, and we are entitled to assistance in our defence at all points. Albert Melenius, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor:

Woe unto us! The international B&B (Beggars and Bigots) Club, a.k.a. the United Nations, has denied Canada a seat on its Security Council, choosing instead to give it to a declining European entity teetering on the edge of economic bankruptcy. As to be expected, this has caused much wailing, teeth-gnashing and outpouring of doom and disaster predictions by a coterie of prominent left-wing academics, self-professed international “experts” and political commentators in various media, plus other intellectual luminaries ever-eager to find fault with our present government and its approach to international affairs. There is an old epigram: “It is better to be

the tail among lions than the head among jackals.” Canada has always played and continues to play a leading and honourable role in international affairs, recognized and highly esteemed by most responsible democratic nations. However, this does not meet the criteria set by this world body whose moral standards are apparently determined by “enlightened” countries such as Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iran or Algeria. Maybe now is the time for our government to carefully reconsider Canada’s financial support for an organization that shows so little respect for our values and this country’s impressive history of contributions to the maintenance of a civilized world order?

success outside of water polo. Athina’s story got me thinking about two other local athletes I’ve had the privilege to cover over the years: running backs Keynan Parker and Steve Spagnuolo. Parker, an STM grad and New Westminster resident, son of former B.C. Lion James “Quick” Parker, earned a football and track scholarship to Oregon State in 2008. The Beavers were in Seattle last weekend, losing 35-34 to the Washington Huskies and while I perused the boxscore looking for Parker’s name, I could only see the 140 yards of the Beavers star running back Jacquizz Rodgers. I had to go to the Beavers team roster, scan through the 120 names and find the 84th name, number 20, Keynan Parker, now listed as a defensive cornerback. I had thought about going down to Seattle to catch up with Parker, one of the nicest and most polite players I’ve ever interviewed, but that would have been an awkward moment for both of us. Even a simple question such as “How are things going for you?” might lead to an answer hinting at regret or an opportunity lost or slipping away. Or maybe Parker’s

happy with all that’s happened to him since graduating from STM, but that’s not a question I want to be asking him right now. I really hope Parker doesn’t bounce back to B.C. Even if he’s not getting what he dreamed of on the football field, he may be getting the experience of a lifetime studying and living in Corvallis, Oregon at a big-time American university. I guess I’ll have to go with what the official Oregon State Beavers athletics website has to say about our local hero. “2010: Keynan (pronounced Keenan) is an outstanding athlete ... expected to make contributions this season at cornerback and possibly special teams ... participated in track and ran the 100 meters in 10.97 at the Pac-10 Championships with minimal training. 2009: Missed the entire season with left shoulder problems, which included surgery for a separation. 2008: Redshirt.” On a positive note, one student-athlete who chose to stay close to home is North Burnaby resident and Notre Dame grad Steve Spagnuolo. Spagnuolo, who had a chance to set the high school rushing mark for a season last year, had offers from near and far, but chose to go to SFU, liv-

ing and studying close to home. Spagnuolo is redshirting this year and getting used to the university lifestyle. I’ll always remember Steve as the polite kid who called me Mr. Lau, even after I repeatedly told him that Mr. Lau was my dad and I was just Alfie. I spent an afternoon talking to Steve’s father, Tony, during a recent SFU home game. Tony is as proud of his son becoming a good man and good student as he is of him starring on the football field. “This is a year for Steve to learn, and that’s why it’s good he’s redshirting this year,” said Tony. “He’ll get a better sense of the offence for next year, but more importantly, he’s putting a lot of attention into his studies.” Maybe Steve Spagnuolo will turn out to be a star for the SFU Clan, but from talking to his dad for a couple of hours, I’m confident Steve will be a pretty fine human being once he gets out of university. So there you have it: three local athletes all taking a different path to their future. Hopefully, they’ll all succeed, but as their differing stories show, you never can tell what the future will be, even for the most talented student-athletes.

Helping to fight hunger A

ubrey Elementary teacher Bianca Lavorata and her Grade 6/7 class are collecting food bank donations as part of a Halloween for Hunger campaign. The students were inspired after attending We Day on Oct. 15 in Vancouver. The We Day conference, which also took place in Montreal and Toronto, was started by Free The Children and is designed to inspire young people to be a force for positive social change. To support the Aubrey students, drop off non-perishable food items in Mme. Lavorata’s classroom (Room 5) between Oct. 25 to 29, from 3 to 3:30 p.m. Monetary donations are also accepted. Aubrey Elementary is at 1075 Stratford Ave.

Help for refugees

A local non-profit group is holding a fundraiser in hopes of opening a thrift store to help refugees.

Building a new business Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Matias Marquez’s phone won’t stop ringing and his Blackberry won’t stop buzzing in his Burnaby office for Buyatab.com. “In the next hour or so? Does he sound like a happy guy?” he asks over the receiver, potentially closing in on a deal with a prospective client. “Ooh, he’s a big one.” Marquez, 22, is a fourth-year business student at SFU, but he doesn’t spend much time in class anymore, now that his business it taking off. He wears a formal dress shirt, talks fast and wears his hair a bit spiked in the front. Marquez and his longtime friend, Ross St. George, founded Buyatab.com, a company that sets up businesses with online gift card technology. They’ve got more than 130 clients – Marquez prefers the term “merchant partners” – mostly restaurants, spas and resorts. People can peruse the Buyatab.com website and pick a place to order a gift card online, without the hassle of showing up in person or ordering over the phone and having to fax in ID or a credit card. Christmas is their busiest season. The small windowless office Marquez is in, strewn with empty coffee cups, isn’t actually his.

Burnaby projects in the running for money Aviva Community Fund gives groups a chance to vie for a share of $1 million Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A handful of Burnaby projects are in a contest to get some money through the Aviva Community Fund. The contest, run by insurance company Aviva Canada, pits community projects against each other, while the public votes for their favourites online. A panel of judges then decides which finalists split $1 million in funding. This year’s local projects include a new playground at University Highlands Elementary, Burnaby’s newly opened elementary school. Cameron Elementary wants money for playground upgrades. Parent advisory council chair Jane Anne Mintenko said they want a play space that’s more accommodating for students with special needs and kindergarten kids. Now that full-day kindergarten is in session, the wee ones are at school all day and need a place to play.

The Down Syndrome Research Foundation is hoping to get some money for research and program development. The Burnaby YOUth Hub is also hoping for funding to put the final touches on the city’s newest youth centre. They want an outreach van and funding for a community kitchen program and a back-to-school initiative that gives students who have dropped out money for transportation and school supplies – things they wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise. Moscrop Secondary wants money for equipment for fundraising activities to support all the various clubs and initiatives the students are involved with. Byrne Creek Secondary wants a fitness circuit, something like an outdoor gym, for students and the general community to use. To vote, go to www.avivacommunity fund.org. People can vote up to 10 times, and the second round of voting starts Oct. 25. Last year, Burnaby’s South Slope Elementary, which also houses the B.C. Provincial School for the Deaf, got $100,000 to help build a new playground. People can submit ideas for the contest until Nov. 26.

Motorization for Window Coverings Comfort and convenience at the touch of a button One of the best product innovations we’ve seen recently is motorization for window treatments. From drapes to blinds, sheers to shades – you can add motorization to virtually any style to raise, lower, tilt or draw the window covering. Motorization combines both line-of-sight (using infrared technology) and out-of-sight (using radio frequency technology) control of your window coverings. You can easily adjust the light and privacy for any window, including tall or hard-to-reach areas such as stairwells and great rooms.With motorization you can raise or lower individual units or select a group (or groups) of window coverings to move together, even in multiple rooms. Motorization Options There are different options available, including: • Battery-operated motorization – easy to install with no additional wiring required • Hard wired motorization – seamlessly integrated with any home automation system • Solar powered motorization – solarpowered motors with no electrical wiring Solar Sensor Option There is also a very useful option that monitors your home’s environment to determine if it is overheating. The sensors are set at a certain temperature and when reached the drapes or blinds will close to block incoming light and heat. This is a great example of where thermal window coverings can be used in the warmer summer months to keep your home cool without the cost of fans or air conditioning – even when you aren’t home! This motorization option requires a hard wire installation. Motorization in Action To give an example of how effective motorization is, we recently installed window coverings for a home in Whistler that has 75 windows. Most people immediately think “what a large number of windows to clean” but in this instance it was what a large number

of window coverings to keep opening and closing each day! But by adding motorization the owner can manually operate them as desired using a remote control, but they were also able to preprogram a daily open and close sequence that operates whether they’re home or not, increasing their privacy and security. Another good example is a customer who has a large span of windows with a south-west exposure.They wanted some light to come in for the early part of the day for their plants and pets but needed to block the more intense light that came each afternoon. Adding motorized window coverings allowed them to preprogram a schedule that opened each morning and then closed in the early afternoon. They were able to program a Monday to Friday schedule for when they were at work and then operated their window coverings manually with a remote control on the weekends when they were home. In both instances the homeowners were able to easily control the amount of light entering their homes, protecting their furnishings from damage by harmful UV rays, maintain a comfortable environment by keeping their homes cooler in summer, and increase privacy and security even when they were away. Family Safety And as a safety feature, motorization can protect your family by allowing anyone with a physical challenge to independently operate their window coverings without over-reaching. This feature will also eliminate dangling cords, keeping your children and pets safe.

ood news for lovers of musical theatre. Those of us (me included) who haven’t yet seen The Fantasticks at Vancouver Playhouse have a little more time to do so. The show has been held over for a week and is now running until Oct. 30. As you may know if you saw this column a couple weeks ago, there’s some Burnaby talent front and centre, with Colin Sheen starring as Matt. Colin, who attended Gilmore Elementary and Alpha Secondary schools in Burnaby, is joined by Bree Greig as Luisa. Bree was on stage in Bat Boy: The Musical, staged by Burnaby’s Patrick Street Productions last year, and she also starred in last

For those who aren’t aware, the noted Phoenix Chamber Choir – which has captured 12 first-place wins in the CBC National Choral Competition for Amateur Choirs – is in fact based right here in our fair city. Its director, Ramona Luengen, is a Burnaby resident as well. The Amazing Grace concert opens with a rare Canadian performance of Ugis Praulins’ Missa Rigensis – which, as information from the choir tells us, is written in the spirit of the great Renaissance masses with a freshness of language that “evinces the Latvian composer’s varied background as a chorister, composer, rock musician, sound engineer and folk music collector.” “This accessible, visceral and completely personal

Tickets are $25 regular, $20 for seniors (60 and up) and students, or $10 for high school students with ID. Groups of 10 or more can buy tickets for $15 each.

year’s Footlight Theatre production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in Burnaby. Next, she’s set to star as Maria in the Footlight Theatre production of The Sound of Music in November, also in Burnaby – where her Captain von Trapp will be none other than Burnaby’s own Steve Maddock.

Contest encourages budding scientists It’s the Year of Science, and young people around B.C. are being encouraged to take part in a contest to win their way to up to $25,000. The Choose Science, Go Far, Win Big contest was launched by the provincial government at the B.C. Institute of Technology this past week. The contest is based on the popular TV show MythBusters, where a team sets out to perform experiments to put a variety of commonly held beliefs to the test. For the contest, young people are being asked up upload videos of their ideas for science experiments. Starting Nov. 1, all entries can be submitted to a dedicated Year of Science YouTube channel. During the year, six finalists will each win a science-related prize package valued at $250. The grand prize winner of a $25,000 scholarship will be awarded in June 2011. The winning entries will be selected by a panel of science experts and will be chosen based on enthusiasm, originality and ability to carry out the idea as an experiment. Each month, the winning entry will be executed and videotaped as an actual live experiment by professionals in the area of expertise. “For me, the most important part of the scientific process is the first spark of curiosity – the ‘I wonder what would happen if …’ question,” said Sandra Eix of Science World. “By experimenting and exploring to find the answers to our questions, we can all be scientists and understand the world

around us better. I’m delighted to be part of a contest that encourages kids to take their questions and turn them into scientific investigations. I bet we’ll all learn something new!” Moira Stilwell, B.C.’s minister of advanced education and labour market development, announced the contest on Oct. 18. “The goal of B.C.’s Year of Science is to get young people excited about science and the endless career possibilities that an interest in science can lead to,” said Stilwell. “What better way to inspire young minds about scientific discovery than through a contest that rewards them for their original and innovative ideas.” The contest is part of a major cross-government initiative led by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development. The goal is to engage British Columbians in science, in particular young people, by showcasing how science works, who scientists are, the kinds of work they do and why science matters in the everyday lives of British Columbians. “At BCIT, we provide a range of handson, practical education that is employerdriven and leads to high quality employment for our grads,” said Don Wright, president of BCIT. “We are proud of the success of our students and are very pleased, as part of the Year of Science, to showcase the amazing career opportunities an education in technology can lead to.” See www.yearofsciencebc.ca.

Dancing for wolves

Celebrity impersonators in fundraiser tonight at Burnaby Mountain Golf Course Andrew Fleming staff reporter

Everybody knows that celebrities occasionally like to use their fame to help out worthy causes. Turns out celebrity impersonators do too, which is why wannabe versions of Cher, Elton John, Barbara Streisand, Tom Petty and even two separate Elvises will be appearing in the banquet room of the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course tonight. The acts are performing as part of a benefit for the Northern Lights Wildlife Centre, a wildlife conservation organization based in Golden that houses a pack of wolves in a 1.25-acre enclosure. Wolves aren’t exactly a common sight on the streets of Burnaby anymore, but the idea for the fundraiser to try and bring attention to the unprotected status of wolves in British Columbia came together after longtime Cher impersonator and animal-lover Laurie Hammond read an article in The Vancouver Sun a few months ago. She was horrified to hear about a Fort St. John-based trophy hunting business, Wicked River Outfitters, that uses bait and snowmobiles while charging $4,000 a week to help nonresident hunters shoot wolves. “I read those articles, and it kind of spurred me into action,” said Hammond. “We don’t actually have any protection for wolves, there’s aerial killing of wolves. They used to be protected for one month out of the year while they had their offspring, but they’re not anymore, and they’ve a very important part of our ecosystem.”

Save for

College Pay down Debt

The stories, written by reporter Larry Pynn, recounted how an American couple boasted online about chasing a family of wolves to exhaustion via snowmobile on frozen Williston Lake before killing them. It drew public outrage and a promise from Environment Minister Barry Penner to look into it. Wolves do not have any protection from the B.C. goververnment, although the Wildlife Act prohibits the use of a “motor vehicle or other mechanical device to herd or harass wildlife.” “The incident has raised a number of questions for me,” Penner said at the time. “I have asked my staff to review this matter and see if this is an area which is in need of updating and revision. … If our regulations need updating, then we’re prepared to consider that.” According to Pynn, who told the Burnaby NOW he had checked again with the Conservation Officers Service only days ago, the case is currently still under investigation. In the introduction to the B.C. hunting regulations, Penner writes: “Our hunting and trapping seasons continue to be based upon the foundations of conservation, sustainable use, fair chase and human safety.” Along with the live entertainment, the fundraiser also includes guest speakers, a silent auction and raffle draw. “It’s mainly about wolves, but we’ve got Critter Care attending and representatives from the Wilderness Committee attending,” said Hammond. “They’ll be speaking on behalf of wildlife in general. Even in Burnaby, we’ve got coyotes, we’ve got raccoons. A lot of people don’t really think about it, and we kind of take it for granted.” Tickets are $15.

MOTORING

Luxury and power in a sporty new package David Chao and Bob McHugh NOW contributors

he all new Audi A7 Sportback is a fresh approach to luxury car design. What you see is an extremely attractive four-door coupe. Less obvious is a fifth rear door/hatch that allows wagonlike utility and the A7’s hidden, lightweight yet very rigid body structure. “Audi buyers typically place a higher emphasis on the aesthetics of the car,” said Cort Nielsen, public relations manager for Audi Canada. “The look of this car is absolutely gorgeous, plus it has all the qualities that make it an Audi – the technology, the interior and its fit and finish. And that oak dash (an option) is stunning.” While big in its physical dimensions, the A7 weighs in at 1,695 kilograms. It’s powered by a potent yet highly efficient V6 engine with hybrid-like fuel economy technology that’s mated with an advanced Quattro drive system with a torque-vectoring rear differential. Key design elements of the A7 are its long hood, long wheelbase and short body overhangs. Another is what’s call a “tornado line” or body crease that starts at the headlights, extends along the side, gently slopes towards the tail lights and then extends across the rear. Most of the A7’s body skins are made of aluminum, including the fenders, the lids and doors. The A7 also comes with frameless door

glass, side mirrors with integrated LED turn signals and LED taillights. Its covert rear spoiler automatically appears at 130 km/h and retracts again at 80 km/h, or you can activate it (any time) via a button on the dash. Up front the grille is unmistakably Audi, with some subtle changes shared with the new A8. The A7 comes standard with “xenon plus technology” headlights and a new all-weather light, integrated into the headlight. Radar sensors, for its optional adaptive cruise control (with stopand-go function), occupy the usual fog light locations. An adaptive headlight system with LED headlights is also available. These long-life headlights are extremely energyefficient and emit a white light that’s easier on eyes. The system also includes variable headlight range control (low/high beam), which uses a small camera on the interior mirror to detect the lights of approaching vehicles or communities. A unique feature of the adaptive headlight control unit is its link with the MMI navigation plus system. The navigation system sends advance route data to the light computer and it can do stuff like automatically switching on a cornering light before entering an intersection. It can even automatically switch the headlights from driving on the right to driving on the left, if you change countries. Audi’s signature daytime running lights

Latest: Audi has taken a fresh approach to luxury design with its A7 Sportback. are strips of 18 LED lights that give the appearance of a curved band on the lower edge of each headlight assembly. And below them are the turn signals, another strip of 11 LED lights. The power-operated rear hatch extends up into the A7’s roofline and when open exposes a large fully-carpeted luggage compartment. It offers 535 litres of cargo space and when the 60:40 split rear seatbacks are folded down it increases to 1,390

litres, which is almost 50 cubic feet. Inside, the A7 offers luxurious form-fit seating for four with separate zone climate controls for all positions. As we’ve come to expect from Audi, the interior layout is superb and the materials used and craftsmanship are second to none. The new (optional) layered oak veneer trim not only looks rich and refined, it has a textured natural feel. Audi Page 26

Audi: A7 offers impressive athleticism continued from page 25

But it’s not until you slide into the driver’s seat you start to realize the amazing onslaught of new technology that’s at your disposal in an A7. Available features include a new touchpad that the driver can use to perform numerous functions and it allows the use of a finger to spell a destination or input number digits. Other systems include active lane assist to help the driver keep the A7 between the painted road lane lines, a head-up display that projects important information on the windshield, night vision assistance with thermal imaging, advanced cruise control with a stop & go feature that can be used in city traffic to maintain a safe distance, a side assist (blind spot) warning system, Audi Drive Select, and a park assist system that can do all the tricky steering work required to parallel park in a tight space. The top-notch optional audio system in an A7 is an Advanced Sound System from Bang & Olufsen. It features 1,300 watts of power and 15 speakers. When turned on, two little speakers pop up out from the top corners of the dash … it sounds odd, but it looks cool. The athleticism of the A7 quickly became evident while driving on the mostly narrow and twisty roads of northern Sardinia. Our route was mainly inland, through a mountainous part of the island, and we went as far north as the town of Palau, which has car ferry connections to Corsica and the Italian mainland. The Canadian A7 will come with a 3.0

Full Time Position

litre TFSI V6 engine and the latest Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audi’s engine philosophy equates to “smaller is better,” and it uses forced induction and direct injection to achieve maximum power output. The blower on this engine is a supercharger and it uses two downstream intercoolers to cool the compressed air. All of which allows the 3.0 litre to produce up to 300 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque available between 2,900 and 4,500 r.p.m. It’s a smooth and quiet-revving engine that allows the A7 to sprint to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, according to Audi. An auto-stop feature turns the engine off when the vehicle stops and instantly restarts the engine when the driver’s foot releases from the brake pedal. The fuel savings allowed a combined Euro fuel economy rating of 8.2 litres/100 km. Final figures for Canada will come later. Two diesel engine choices are also offered in the European A7 and we were very impressed by the 3.0 TDI. Quiet, responsive and gobs of low-end torque make it a very pleasant and easy vehicle to drive – I hope it makes it to Canada someday. The Audi A7 Sportback will be available in Europe this fall, however, Canadian Audi dealerships don’t get it until the second quarter of next year. “It will probably be offered with two packages, a Premium and an S-Line and there will be stand alone options,” according to Nielson. “And expect prices to be between A6 and A8” – which would put it in the high-$60,000 to mid-$70,000 range.

HEALTH

Seniors should take steps to ‘fall-proof’ home KEEPING FIT Shaun Karp

This is the second in a three-part series on helping seniors and falling. The first ran on Oct. 20. o you’ve visited the doctor and checked your eyes. You’re healthy as can be, or you’ve at least been diagnosed and begun to take steps to improve what’s been hindering your walking ease. The next step is to take a look at your environment. Make sure your home is well-lit and free of clutter. Use bright bulbs throughout your home, night-lights in the bedroom, bathroom and hallways and don’t keep clothes or books on the floor. Make sure electrical

cords are safely tucked away, and remove throw rugs or use double-sided tape to make sure they won’t lift up off the floor. It’s also a good idea to always have easy access to your phone, so you’re never rushing to grab it when it rings. Keep a telephone next to your bed, and have a portable one you keep with you throughout the day. Also, make sure all your stairwells have adequate handrails and that you’re always holding on while going up and down stairs. You could also install grab rails next to your toilet and inside your shower, and place a non-slip mat on the bottom of your bathtub. When outside of your home, take special care when stepping over a curb, walking through gravel or walking through crowds of quick-moving people. Remember it’s OK to take your time and move at your own pace. You might feel more comfortable taking an elevator instead of the

stairs or escalator, or shopping in the middle of the day when there are fewer people rushing about. It’s also a good idea to carry a backpack or a fanny pack to keep your hands free. Finally, make sure you’re wearing proper footwear. Rubber, non-slip soles with good support are the best. Also, thin soles with no heel will help you maintain your balance. Try to find a pair or two you actually like the look of – that way, you’re more likely to want to wear them every time you go out. When it comes to your health, it’s not worth it to take risks. Paying close attention to your surroundings and keeping your home as bright, clean and safe as possible will play a big part in reducing the risk of falls. Shaun Karp is a certified personal trainer.

CAREER COACH Setting Your Goals

When I’m asked about setting goals, I like to talk about it in terms of the big picture. If I don’t have clear goals – long term goals broken down into short term steps – then I won’t have any idea of what’s important to do on a day to day basis. One book I like to refer to is called “Going The Distance” by Rick Hanson and Joan Laub. Rick Hanson achieved Gregg Taylor his dream of a world tour in his wheelchair. The book outlines his understanding of what it took to make the tour happen – and what it took to actually complete it as well. As he describes the theory of goal setting and achievement, he inserts stories of his own experience on the tour. It’s very inspirational. Here are the basic steps that he outlines in the book for Goal Setting and Personal Change: 1) Set your goal: identify a meaningful personal goal – something that you can get excited about or has true personal meaning. 2) Cultivate your personal vision: create a clear visualization of what it would be like if you achieved the goal. 3) Plan to reach the goal: design a realistic plan broken down into small achievable steps. 4) Taking Risks: whenever we try something new we’re taking a risk. Get support if you need it. 5) Embrace the feelings: as you get started, powerful feelings will arise – both positive and discouraging. Find constructive ways to express these feelings rather than ignoring them. 6) Actively strive: If your goal is truly challenging, then it won’t be easy (that’s why all of the planning!). You will face obstacles and will need to push through or find alternative routes. 7) Experience success: When you make it to the goal, make an event of it – reward yourself, make it memorable. The memory of this feeling will help keep you going on your way to your next goal. It’s hard to achieve goals alone because we so easily get distracted or discouraged. You can access support by taking a career exploration program with a goal-setting component, or hiring a career counsellor. For more information about either option please call my office at 604-4341177. The Transitions Program, our government funded (no fee) three-week career exploration program, is available to anyone who is unemployed or under employed and eligible to work in Canada.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The month ahead features romance, pleasure, speculation, creativity, beauty and charming kids. You’ll ride a winning streak! These enjoyable matters were sprinkled through September and October, but now they flower more fully. A contentious, intense tone yields to a softer, affectionate “dalliance” atmosphere. An old flame might appear, if he/she has not already done so in the last two weeks. Sunday’s for fun, social delights. Retreat to rest, plan Monday/Tuesday. Your energy, magnetism and effectiveness soar Wednesday p.m. to Friday – go out, NOT within! Money caution Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead revolve around home, kids, property, security, soul, nutrition and Mother Nature. The friction that sandpapered these areas in recent weeks will fade – for two years. Now to January, affection fills your home. You’ll be charmed and charming! It’s a splendid time to decorate, vacation, take the kids to the pumpkin patch, etc. If you’re single, a romantic streak begins to wind through your days. If married, the boudoir brightens. If parenting, be gentle – you might push sports, adventure, too hard. Be ambitious Sunday. Happiness, hopes, plans and popularity Monday/ Tuesday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Communications, paperwork, details, errands, short trips, siblings and casual acquaintances fill the weeks ahead. Much of this continues September/October’s trends, but in bigger, luckier ways. The focus of communications changes from sex, finances, mutual property, big changes, power plays, secrets, to something lighter, more gracious: affection/sensuality, earnings instead of assets, compromise instead of power plays, etc. Less is at stake, and that buoys your heart! Still, you’ll be short-tempered on the home front to early December: make peace! Social joys Wednesday-Friday!

NOTICE TO CREDITORS

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mystery, of psychological, financial and sexual depths awaits you. You might be “tied to” another’s finances, might invest, or take on a mortgage or other large debt. The end result will be a change in your lifestyle. This change might occur through other avenues also: health adjustments, sexual involvements (or pregnancy) etc. It’s a time of commitment and consequence. It’s also, to some degree, a time of karma – I hope you’ve been good! Research, intuition and subconscious promptings aid you. Chase money, shop early Sunday. Thursday to Saturday are sexy, romantic! Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead feature relationships – of all stripes, from marriage and business partnerships, to agreements, contracts, negotiations, dealings with the public, and the bevy of new relationships that relocation would entail. You are no longer (as in recent weeks) meeting friction and challenge from others. Now forward (to January) most dealings and links become unusually affectionate and gracious. Everyone wants to please – you included! It’s likely that a former bond, an “ex” or a former opportunity (relocation, business, public dealings, etc.) will loom large. Talk it up, Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20: The next few weeks bring drudgery, chores, health concerns, machinery repairs/purchases and increased dependents’ needs. All these detracted from the pleasures of the last few weeks. So now the cosmos balances: during this “drudgery month” your chores will tend to be light and enjoyable, co-workers will be affectionate (or at least nice), dependents reward you and your health will improve...unless you have a sugar-related problem – e.g., diabetes. (If so, be vigilant through January.) Relationships grow fiery yet hopeful. Love could arise from an argument (and vice versa).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Chase money during the weeks ahead. Buy/sell, cultivate new clients, seek a pay raise, etc. Also focus on, and complete, major tasks or health ﬁxes. Putting them off would interfere with the lucky opportunities and relationship potentials of 2011. To late January, your work scene features intensity, longer hours and creativity – it’s one of the more interesting things in your life, until 2011.“Heavy” money issues enter Sunday (mortgage, investment, etc.) – be calm, even passive. Wisdom, gentle love early week. Ambitious wishes furthered Thursday/Friday, not before. A happy weekend! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Weariness ends – your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise – especially in money areas. For the next six weeks, increased money will come from work or health events, perhaps from overtime hours, sales. Though more money comes, strictly beware a simultaneous, unconscious need to overspend. You could purchase machinery or repairs – haggle, go slow, don’t “spend automatically.” A relationship puzzles you Sunday (perhaps because it’s going to end soon). Mysteries, hidden “treasure,” sexual lures ﬁll Monday/Tuesday. Sweet, gentle love Wednesday-Friday. Be ambitious Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Rest through late November. Contemplate, plan, be charitable and spiritual, connect with institutions, government agencies. All these proceed splendidly, but other, more hectic pursuits meet headwinds, mainly because your energy and charisma are low. People don’t want to follow your lead right now. This could be a problem, because you’re feeling more determined, assertive and impatient than usual. Dicey combination! Turn that drive into creative pursuits. Indulge yourself with a little pleasure to defuse your ferocity. Valuable secrets surface Wednesday-Friday – pounce Thursday p.m.!

Oct. 24 - Oct. 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A month of happiness stretches before you! Your popularity will rise. Social delights, optimism, bright future plans and group activities await. A light ﬂirtation could occur – it could be more than that if you meet in a group. Sunday accents romance.Tackle chores Monday to Wednesday morning. Relationships loom large Wednesday noon to Friday eve. There’s a disappointment or obstacle here Thursday morning, but otherwise these few days offer success in negotiations, agreements, love, partnerships, meeting or serving the public. Be open, other-oriented and eager! Mysteries, Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead luckily feature ambition, career, prestige relationships and your reputation. Climb the ladder, boost your position in the world! Bosses, parents and higher-ups will (by Thursday onward) drop the impatience and temperament of the last two months. They will strongly favour you now into next January: you’ll be surprised at how graciously you and your proposals are received. Travel and socializing issue a siren song for six weeks – enjoy, but don’t be overly distracted. Romance, creative urges and pleasure call you Monday/Tuesday. Tackle work after Thursday morning, not before. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Understanding replaces mystery, light replaces dark, a philosophical attitude supplants lust.You grow more calm and compassionate. You see your future more clearly, making this and the next few weeks a splendid time to make life-affecting decisions. You might wed, or meet an important love, in the few months ahead. Travel, read, communicate Sunday. Be near home or in contact with family – or pursue security, property goals – Monday/Tuesday. Romance, a creative surge or speculative urge comes Wednesday to Friday – it’s a trap to Thursday morning, succeeds after. Chores Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
