To Tisa Nowak, the writings on thewall.

The nine-year resident of 6280 CassieAve. is certain that her lowrise rentalapartment building will be torn downto make way for Rize Alliances GoldHouse development: two towers stretch-ing 26 and 41 storeys into the Metrotownskyline.

Im not nave, I know this is goingthrough, she said.

Nowak said when not if the build-ing application goes through, she and her200 or so neighbours will be displaced asthe area densifies with more owner-occu-pied properties.

This area has always been predomi-nantly rentals, and now theyre takingthat away, said Nowak of the city, not-ing that a number of other apartmenttowers have sprung up in the area sinceshe moved in.

Youve got one highrise here, youvegot one highrise there, youve got anotherhighrise there. Why not wait to see untiltheyre actually completed before youturn around and build two more?

Nowaks building is one of four prop-erties up for rezoning, all of which willbe demolished if the development isapproved. While she estimated that herbuilding has 52 units, she said the major-ity of the rental apartments have multiplepeople, and approving this developmentwill put them out on the street.

Youve got a mother and father withtwo children in a one-bedroom because

they cant afford something more, shesaid. Theres not sufficient, affordablerental (housing) as it is, and now youredisplacing 200 to 300 additional people.

Im one of them. Where are we goingto go?

Burnaby city council recently held apublic hearing regarding the develop-

ment, to which Burnaby First Coalitionsupporters Rick McGowan and Helen

Companys stock jumps after Ebola decisionA Burnaby pharmaceutical companys

stock nearly doubled over the weekendfollowing a decision by the FDA to use

one of its experimental drugs to treat theEbola virus.

Tekmira Pharmaceuticals stockreached $25.84 on the TSX on Monday,just days after the FDA changed its stanceon the drug from a full clinical hold to

a partial hold, allowing it to be usedon patients infected with the virus. Thedrug will be used to fight the outbreak ofEbola in West Africa, which has alreadyreached a death toll of more than 1,000people, according to the World Health

Organization.We have been closely watching the

Ebola virus outbreak and its consequenc-es, and we are willing to assist withany responsible use of TKM-Ebola, said

Its been a long time coming,but the Burnaby NeighbourhoodHouse finally has a new home.

The non-profit organizationhas been bursting at the seamsin a tiny office on Imperial Streetfor about 15 years, but comeSeptember, staff and volunteerswill be in a new, purpose-built,four-storey building close to theMetrotown SkyTrain station aspace thats roughly three timesthe size of the current location.

Were really excited, saidexecutive director Antonia Beck.We will be able to do so muchmore in the community with theadded space.

The move means the neigh-bourhood house can host manyof its programs on site programslike the tax clinics for seniors ordrop-in groups for families.

The new building was securedthrough the citys density-bonusprogram, where developerstrade benefits for permissionto increase the density of theirdevelopments.

As an added bonus, the new

digs include a commercial kitch-en and a banquet room, so theneighbourhood house can host itsSharing Cultures dinners on site,instead of the church basement,where they are normally held.

Beck is now asking the com-munity to donate $80,000 to coverthe costs of new furniture, phonesand kitchen setup for the newspace.

The neighbourhood houseneeds the help of the communityright now. We are a charity; we

help a lot of people in the com-munity. Now we need some helpto make this happen; this is aplace in the community that willwelcome everyone, Beck said.Its a place where people can getinvolved and engaged.

According to Beck, Vancityhas promised to help, and G&FFinancial group has alreadypitched in $10,000. Theres also$50,000 from Rotary wine festivalproceeds set aside for the cause.

The Burnaby Neighbourhood

House is sharing the buildingwith three other groups: theYMCAs child-care resource andreferral program, the Centre forAbilitys supported child-careteam, and the National Congressof Black Women.

The new location is at 4460Beresford St. Beck said the neigh-bourhood house should be openand running by Sept. 2.

To donate to the furniturefund, call the neighbourhoodhouse at 604-431-0400.

KinderMorgan keeps safety plan secretThe City of Burnaby is throwing its support

behind the provincial governments push tomakeKinderMorgans emergencymanagementplan public.

The energy company, which is proposing toexpand the Trans Mountain pipeline and thetank storage facility in Burnaby, wants to keepthe plan confidential because it contains propri-etary information, but that doesnt sit well withMayor Derek Corrigan.

We know that Kinder Morgan does nothave the capacity to deal with potential spillsand fires, and we are determined to ensure thatthey are not permitted to hide from the public

the inadequacy of their plans, he said in apress release. By denying access to the emer-gency management documents, Kinder Morganis increasing the risk to the citizens of Burnabyand emergency personnel.

The local fire department has been one of thecompanys most vocal critics when it comes tosafety, claiming the company is not preparedto handle a major fire at the tank farm. Nowthe provincial government has chimed in, argu-ing to the National Energy Board that KinderMorgans plans should not be confidential.

It is unclear to the province how emergencyresponse procedures, including the location offacilities and response equipment, or responsetime maps, could possibly contain informationof a proprietary nature, the province stated in

documents filed with the NEB.When asked why the plan was proprietary,

Kinder Morgan spokesperson Ali Hounsellexplained that there is information phonenumbers and locations of equipment that isntmeant to be shared publicly. However, the city,fire department and province all have a copy ofthe plan, she added, and theres a public sum-mary available online.

We have an emergency response plan inplace today, audited (and) shared with localresponders. We are required to file a detailedresponse plan for the new pipeline before opera-tion, and we will do that, she said.

The NEBs Whitney Punchak said the boardwill review intervenors comments and make adecision on the issue at a later date.

Ward, as well as a resident of a neigh-bouring building, voiced their concerns.Nowak was one of about a dozen peopleto submit formal letters opposing theproject.

If you look in the City of Burnaby,there isnt a large amount of rental apart-ment buildings, so were stuck trying tolive in somebodys basement, she said.Then you have to worry if its a legalsuite, do you have any rental rights in anillegal suite, and if I do, what are thoserights.

Nowak cited Vancouvers rentalreplacement bylaw, which requires devel-opers to designate an equal number ofunits as rentals if they tear down a rentalbuilding with six or more dwellings.

The City of Burnaby doesnt havesuch a bylaw, she said. I think Burnabyis a little too lax when it comes to thingslike that.

In contrast, the City of Burnaby col-lects density bonuses from developersto fund community benefits, including

affordable housing. According to thecitys latest community benefit policyreport, Burnaby has received $115 millionfrom developers since 1997.

However, the report states only $4million has been used to fund 19 afford-able housing units and three housinggrants, with $16 million set aside forfuture affordable or special needs hous-ing. The rest of the money has been usedor allocated for community amenities andvarious city projects.

Nowak also criticized the cost of thenew apartments, noting that many arepurchased by foreign investors and areleft empty almost year-round. She alsosaid she believes many of the tenants inher building are unaware of the develop-ment.

The majority of the people in thesebuildings are immigrants - I dont thinkthey even understand what that applica-tion means to them, she said. Theyreleft in the dark, and when they get theirnotice to leave in three months, theyregoing to be in utter shock.

Tekmira CEO and president Dr. MarkMurray in a statement. The foresightshown by the FDA removes one potentialroadblock to doing so.

This current outbreak underscoresthe critical need for effective therapeuticagents to treat the Ebola virus. We recog-nize the heightened urgency of this situa-tion, and are carefully evaluating optionsfor use of our investigational drug within

accepted clinical and regulatory proto-cols.

The boost was short-lived as the com-panys stock dropped 18 per cent onTuesday.

Tekmira began testing the drug inhumans in January and was granted aFast Track designation by the FDA inMarch to facilitate the development andexpedite the review of drugs in order toget important new therapies to the patientearlier.

Many seniors have indicated to CanadaPost that they will be physically unable topick up their mail from community mail-boxes as door-to-door service is phasedout over the next five years.

Now the postal authority wants themto prove it.

In a mailout questionnaire, CanadaPost is requiring seniors to providethem with medical information a movewhich Elsie Dean, a member of Voices ofBurnaby Seniors, called an invasion ofprivacy.

Older people on low income, they arebeing plagued with having to present allthe details of their lives in order to geta little bit of help, she said. Of coursethey should deliver mail to all seniors, toall people, actually.

One of the big problems we have isthat seniors cant walk more than twoblocks, so its going to be difficult formany seniors who may not be able to geta doctors certificate.

The decision by Canada Post to elimi-nate home delivery is an effort to savemoney, but Dean noted there are optionsto subsidize the national service. She sug-gested postal banking, a system imple-mented in other countries in which thepost office offers financial services thathelp fund mail delivery.

The banks do OK, they dont have aproblem covering their costs and makinga good profit, she said. Its possible fora very strong organization which the postoffice is to find other means.

We need to keep our services.Door-to-door delivery will be nixed

in 11 communities across Canada thisfall, including parts of Calgary, Halifaxand Ottawa. No B.C. neighbourhoods areamong those 11 affected communities.

The switch to community mailboxes isscheduled for completion by 2019.

What is it with the B.C.government andexpensive, poorly man-aged computer projects?

The Canadian TaxpayersFederation (CTF) has learnedvia whistleblowers that B.C.Emergency Health Services(BCEHS), which runsthe B.C. AmbulanceService (BCAS), hasdumped its highlytouted, $2.8 million ElectronicPatient Care Record (ePCR) sys-tem before it even went intouse.

A posting on the BCEHSIntranet, obtained by the CTF,reports: BCEHS has beenworking hard to develop anePCR system that meets ourneeds for reliability, quality andfunctionality and can integratewith existing systems in hos-pital emergency departments.Unfortunately, the vendor wasunable to meet our businessrequirements.

The posting notes that seniorleaders at BCEHS will developa 90-day action plan and com-mit to sharing the decision withstaff by the end of October.

Forgive paramedics if theyroll their eyes at yet another tar-get date. Theyve been promisedthis system for years.

Currently, paramedics writeout patient details on paper. Onecopy of the paperwork goes withthe patient to the hospital, whilethe other goes back to the ambu-lance station to be scanned and

stored. Because paramedics oftenattend accident scenes in poorweather, the papers can becomewet and messy, potentially put-ting patients at risk with unclearinformation.

This led government to wantto find an electronic solution,

and it picked experi-enced companies.Panasonic got the con-tract to provide more

than 400 Toughbook H2 devices,while Interdev Technologies Inc.was contracted for its iMEDICEMS software. The budget cer-tainly seemed generous: $2.8million works out to $7,000 foreach device.

The ePCR system was hypedfor years by ambulance serviceexecutives and health ministryofficials, promising it wouldimprove patient care and pri-vacy, accuracy and operationalefficiency. The BCEHS also prom-ised the system would be oper-ational by June 2013. A YouTubevideo was even released, high-lighting the system. A year afterthat target start date, it appearsthe project is dead.

While its unclear why thesystem didnt work, Interdevseems to have a good record andits iMEDIC is used by a numberof other paramedic agencies.Panasonics Toughbook also gotgood reviews.

This is the second big com-puter glitch paramedics have

Families shortchanged if support unavailableTheres a reason that certain expres-

sions stand the test of time becausetheyre as true today as when they werefirst coined.

Take this one, for example:an ounce of prevention isworth a pound of cure.

It applies to life in a mil-lion different ways, but its also aphrase that governments everywhere and certainly B.C.s would do well toheed.

Because when it comes to manysocial- and health-policy issues, the

truth is that we can spend a little now or we can spend a lot more later.

Our story earlier this week on thefunding crunch facing a B.C. parent

support program that helpsfamilies with children facingmental-health challenges,highlights the short-sight-

edness of not keeping in mind theounce today and creating a poundto be dealt with in the future.

The FORCE Society for Kids MentalHealth helps parents navigate the oftenconfusing child and youth mental-

health system, while simultaneouslyoffering support to the families.

Thats a fancy way of saying: makingsure vulnerable kids dont fall throughcracks.

Theres simply no doubt that earlyand comprehensive support for mental-health issues be it anxiety, depressionor something else can make a pro-found and long-term impact on a childslife, and on the childs entire family.

FORCE has had to pull the plug on aservice it was offering in Burnaby andNew West because they simply havent

got the funding to continue it here.Unfortunately, kids have often come

up shortchanged when it comes to fund-ing decisions be it health or educationor sports and those with mental-healthissues are even more marginalized incountless ways. (The phrase easy tar-gets comes to mind.)

It may be hard to imagine the posi-tive domino effect thats created whena family gets the support it needs in acritical time; its truly heartbreaking tothink of the same domino effect whenthe family doesnt get that help at all.

Clean air important to oil industryDear Editor:

Re: Opposing the pipeline, opinion,BurnabyNOW,Aug. 8.

Suggestions that greenhouse gas emissions(GHG) from Canadas oil sands are a significantthreat to the planet and that Canadas oil and gasindustry is subsidized are incorrect.

Canadas oil sands currently account for 0.14 percent of global GHG emissions. According to a studyby B.C. MLA Andrew Weaver and PhD studentNeil Swart, production and consumption (e.g. usefor transportation, etc.) of the entire economicallyviable oil sands reserve would add 0.03 degreesCelsius to world temperatures.

Nevertheless, oil sands producers understandwe must be a part of the broader global solution.Albertas GHG emissions law has been in placesince 2007. It requires industry to reduce per-bar-rel GHG emissions by 12 per cent over the life ofa project or pay $15 per tonne into a governmentfund that they direct into lower carbon technolo-gies. The oil sands industry has reduced per-barrelGHG emissions by 28 per cent since 1990, and as wedevelop the resource to meet Canadian and globaldemand, we continue to seek emissions reductionsthrough innovation and new technology.

Regarding the reference to oil and gas sub-sidies, the corporate income tax rate for oil andgas companies is identical to the rate for other

Canadas oil and gas industry currentlycontributes about $18 billion annually topublic revenues through income tax, roy-alty and other payments to governments.According to a recent report by IHS-CERA,oil sands companies are forecast to pay$783 billion over the next 25 years thatsabout $85 million a day to Canadian gov-ernments to help fund social services, edu-cation, health care and other governmentprograms that benefit all Canadians.

TransLink needs to changeDear Editor:

The transit system is severely brokenthanks to the Liberal government appoint-ment of the board of directors.

First of all, before another taxpayerdime goes to TransLink, abolish the cur-rent board and give no compensation ofany sort to them unless they are willing togo before the cameras and not hide behindany spokesperson and tell the public whytaxpayers should fund any kind of theirpension/compensation.

Next, do a full audit of the moneythat was siphoned to the always poor

TransLink.Next. Its time for the provincial and

federal governments to give back some thetax money they gladly took from us everytime we filled up especially the feds asthey charge a tax on top of a tax

Pay anyone, especially all levels of poli-ticians, no more than $12,000 to be on theboard as they are already being paid bytaxpayers and there is no need for them todouble dip.

Clean up after yourselfDear Editor:

My wife and I went to BurnabyMountain Park on Sunday night to walkour dog and enjoy the views and greeneryof what I think is the most beautiful urbanpark in North America.

But we were shocked by the amount oftrash littered on the slopes and picnic areaby all the people who were there.

There were paper bags, plates, cups,plastic containers and bags just all sortsof debris left cluttering and marring thisbeautiful space. It was very disturbing.

Some folks before leaving picked upmuch of their trash, but a lot was still leftbehind on the ground. There are trash con-tainers where this can be put.

We live in a free and beautiful countrywhere all liberties are regarded as pre-cious. But there are responsibilities for thisfreedom and certainly one of them is tokeep our beautiful areas clean, and this issomething we should all regard as a dutyand try to fulfill.

Wylie McLallen, Burnaby


Funds help social programs

had to endure in the pastyear.

Last July, the paramed-ics union complainedthat a new payroll systemunderpaid some workersand totally missed others.

Unfortunately for tax-payers, these are just partof a long line of provincialgovernment computer sys-tem failures.

In May, The VancouverSun discovered that tax-payers were spendinghalf-a-million dollars ayear to fly in and housetroubleshooters to try andkeep the provinces $182million, glitch-riddenintegrated case manage-ment system running. Thiswas the same system that

crashed for more than aweek this spring.

ICBC is currently send-ing out cheques to 240,000customers who overpaidfor auto insurance becauseof incorrect vehicledescriptions in their newcomputer system.

Theres more. Thebudget for the E-Healthsystem ballooned from $30million to $138 million,according to the NDP.

The $89 million BCeSISsystem, used to man-age student records, wasscrapped after years ofcomplaints.

Last year, B.C. AuditorGeneral John Doyleripped the security of theprovinces JUSTIN system,which holds details ofmore than a million police

investigations. Doyle gave100 recommendations tofix the system, noting,the information isnot adequately protectedfrom internal or externalthreats.

If these computer pro-jects were new schools,highways, stadiums orfast ferries, governmentwould be excoriated fornot managing the projectsefficiently.

Technology shouldbe treated no differently taxpayers deserve toknow why these projectsare going over budget,why they are failing andprecisely what governmentplans to do about it.

Jordan Bateman is theB.C. director of the CanadianTaxpayers Federation.

A Burnaby-based wildlife conservationgroup is predicting the cost for replacingan aging fish ladder near the mouth ofEagle Creek will be less than originallyanticipated.

Nick Kvenich with the Eagle CreekStreamkeepers Society said theDepartment of Fisheries andOceans has recently reassessedthe site.

When the fish ladder waspartially destroyed this springby some logs, they removeda good chunk of it, he said.It looks like the modifica-tions to replace it wont be thatmuch.

This past June, Port MetroVancouver and the PacificSalmon Foundation gave thesociety a $12,500 grant to help fix the lad-der by the end of this month. The series oflow steps in the stream enable the fish toswim and leap up into the waters on theother side.

Well use those funds to replace itwith a riffle. A riffle requires building upthe bank with rocks so it works on a tier-by-tier level so they can get upstream,Kvenich said. Whatever money is leftover, well return it.

Kvenichs group started 16 years ago

and spent the first five years removinggarbage from the creek.

I could have furnished a living roomand a bedroom, he explained. It beganto get frustrating.

Kvenich was close to giving up but thenhe saw a coho wedged into a tree comingup to spawn.

It brought tears to my eyes. What doyou compare it to? After that,it just made you want to workharder to do things about it,he said.

Dorothy Wolfe has lived ina home adjacent to the creekfor the last 50 years. She isno stranger to having peoplewith a wandering eye walkinto her backyard on a dailybasis.

Its really wonderful whenyou see the look on their faceswhen they see the fish, she

said.The number of salmon coming through

Eagle Creek has grown significantly overthe years. Over 400 were recorded for the2013 run, compared to the 20 to 30 duringthe first 4 to 5 years following the societysinception.

In the meantime, Kvenich will continueto work on behalf of the small fry.

These fish are fighting for their lives.We need to make their journey as easy aspossible.

More lower-income families, seniorsand pregnant women will get access towholesome, locally grown food at farmersmarkets in Burnaby and NewWestminsterin the coming years thanks to$750,000 in provincial fundingannounced this week.

The Farmers MarketNutrition Coupon Programprovides coupons that can beused like cash at participatingmarkets.

Eachweek, fromJuly throughOctober, program participantsreceive $15 worth of couponsto buy locally grown fruit, veg-etables, meat, eggs, dairy, nutsand herbs.

The government has alreadyinvested $4 million in the pro-gram since 2012, and the newmoney will keep the programgoing beyond 2015.

About 30 families and 10seniors use the coupons inBurnaby, including 19 participants fromthe Burnaby Association for CommunityInclusion (BACI), an organization that

supports children and adults with devel-opmental disabilities.

For a lot of our families, buying freshfruits and vegetables is not part of theirplan; they dont normally do it, seniormanager of outreach Lyn King told theNOW.

The B.C. Association ofFarmers Markets, which over-sees the provincial program,allocates coupons to localpartner groups based on theircapacity to offer food-centredskill-building programs for par-ticipants.

As part of this program wehave to offer six events through-out the farmers market seasonfor training and teaching, Kingsaid.

The first two events weretours of the Burnaby and NewWestminster farmers markets;other events will include a can-ning session, a harvest dinnerand weekly community kitch-ens, where clients cook and eata meal together and take home

the extra food for later in the week.During the season, BACI outreach

workers also meet clients at the farmers

market, give them their coupons and offersupport while they shop.

This is the organizations first summerwith the program.

This program really helps, King said.Weve had some rave reviews from peo-ple; theyre just thrilled to pieces.

King said she only wishes there weresome way to bring her single clients intothe family-focused program.

We have another large group of folkswho are single and low income and devel-opmentally delayed, she said. Becausetheyre single, their buying power is verypoor. There are some young people outthere, living on their own, scraping ittogether. Thats the time to impact theirlearning around how to eat in a healthyway, so wed really like to be able to dothat.

B.C. Association of Farmers Markets

executive director Elizabeth Quinn saidother communities are finding ways topiggyback onto the Farmers MarketNutrition Coupon Program and expand itthrough fundraising initiatives.

On Saltspring Island, a foundation hasgiven money to support 40 extra familieswith coupons there, while the VancouverFarmers Market is raising cash this monthto augment the $15 coupons so each par-ticipant gets $30 each week.

Quinn hopes the new fundingannounced this week, which will keepthe program going longer, will give othercommunities time to come up with moresuch ideas.

We already have the project manage-ment happening, so theres no extra workfor us to support more families throughcoupons, she said.

Burnaby plays host this weekend to oneof the Lower Mainlands largest multicul-tural gatherings.

The 13th annual Korean CulturalHeritage Festival at Swangard Stadium isexpected to attract more than 15,000 peopleon Saturday.

We spent the most money on mar-keting this year, so with some luck andpeoples interest, were hoping for a bigturnout, said spokesperson Mike Suk.

The first festival in 2001 was held inBurnaby but then was moved to Coquitlamfor the following years. Organizers wereable to bring it back this year, thanks inpart to a $15,000 grant from the city.

Burnaby is the heart of the Koreancommunity in B.C. It is a central locationthats accessible to everyone and its wherethe majority of Korean-Canadians live andwork. Suk said.

The vibe in the stadium will be a littledifferent this time around. While previ-ous festivals focused on Korean heritage,this one will be infused with a lot more

modernity.Korea is evolving and has become a

leader in fashion, music and martial arts.We want to draw inmodern elements, howour culture has changed, but have some ofthe traditional aspects intertwined, Suksaid.

Highlights include K-pop, a taekwondotournament, a traditional drum dance per-formance and a reenactment of a royalwedding. The audience will get a chanceto see what our customs looked like 1,000years ago.

One thing Suk is confident all people

will enjoy is the grub.For the first time, were bringing in real

mom-and-pop food, real locals cooking.Its all healthy with no MSG, he said.

Suk and his team, the Korean CulturalHeritage Society, have been planning thefestival since January. Over 300 volunteerswill be on hand to do the setup and tear-down.

There is no admission fee. Doors open at10 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. For more infor-mation, visit koreanfestival.ca or checkout the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kchsfestival.

HERE & NOWJennifer Moreau Local families and residents came out to

celebrate the annual Kensington Fair in NorthBurnaby on Saturday, Aug. 9.

It was excellent, said Ken Ryan, one of themain organizers. Just the layout and the ven-dors all really, really enjoy that fair.

An estimated 2,000 people showed up, andthere were 35 different vendors, non-profits andbusinesses in attendance. There was also food,entertainment, midway rides and a climbingwall. While the weather was fantastic, atten-dance was down, likely because of all the otherfestivals happening this past weekend.

Theres just so much going on, the bluesfestival, and the air show, Ryan said. We justneed to figure some way to get more peopleout. Thats probably the busiest weekend of theyear.

The Burnaby North Community Associationputs on the fair, with help from the citys parksand recreation department and VolunteerVancouver. Ryan started the annual fair roughly20 years ago as a customer appreciation eventin Kensington mall, where he managed theRadioShack. Ryan has been organizing the fairever since.

NEW PATIENTS SPECIAL:

todaysdriveYour journey starts here.

If theres one wayforward for GeneralMotors out of thewhole recall-related pub-lic relations debacle, itsdecent product. Forgettrying to fix corporateculture, forget manage-ment restructuring, forgetaccountability audits androad-maps to synergy.Instead, simply build thecars that people want tobuy, and build them well.

To that end, while itsfun to see the CamaroZ/28 scorch around theNrburgring, or prepareto watch the upcomingCorvette Z06 kick theabsolute bejesus out ofsupercars costing thriceas much, its far moreimportant that Chevroletspassenger cars are solidand strong-selling. In theCanadian market, thatmeans the small car seg-ment.

Since its introductionin 2008, the Cruze hasdone well, winning overCanadian families withbig-car space in a small-car package. For 2014,Chevrolet has introduceda unique drivetrain intotheir global car a 2.0Ldiesel engine. We haventseen diesel in a GM pas-senger car in decades,and the last time we didit wasnt exactly a goodthing. So, does the CruzeDiesel have enough torqueto get traction in the mar-ket?

Design:Conservative nearly

to a fault, the Cruze hasa design thats aged well,unlike some of its flashierstablemates. While thefront fascia is dominatedby a large, bowtie-brandedgrille, its not shouty at all.

Diesel-equipped Cruzescome in a single trim, verywell-equipped, whichmeans you get standard17-inch alloys and a bitof brightwork aroundthe windows. In a darkercolour, as with this weekstester, the most strikingthing is just how big thesmall car has got. TheCruze is now essentiallythe same dimensions asthe old Impala.

Theres a slight flavourof Impala to the rear tail-lights as well. But, if youfind some of the othersmall car options in themarket a bit on the out-landish side, the Cruze

should fit nicely in yourdriveway. Its the equiva-lent of a nice dark greypair of trousers that gowith everything.

Environment:Inside, the Cruze is less

trousers than it is cargoshorts. Despite being clas-sified as a compact, theresa surprising amount ofroom inside, both in frontand out back. Taller driv-ers will like the depth towhich you can lower theseat, and even with it setto fit a larger driver upfront, rear seat passengersstill have plenty of room.

Im of two minds aboutthe dash treatment, whichincorporates a swathe ofmesh-like fabric to comple-ment the black and silvermotif. On one hand, itlooks rather nice. On theother hand, I have somereservations about howwell itll hold up to use,particularly when kids areinvolved.

But other than that, theCruze has a nicely laid-out cabin thats roomy,with decent sightlines.Being a higher-end model,everything in the dieselmodel that you expect tobe covered in leather is,and the trunk is plentyhuge. If you were lookingfor a machine with whichto cross huge tracts ofland, thisd appear to bethe right sort of beast ofburden.

Performance:The single splash of

colour on the rear of thisweeks Cruze was a smallgreen badge with a 2.0symbol on it. That meansthat under the hood of thisconservative-looking littlesedan is its party-piece:a 2.0L turbodiesel enginecranking out 151 hp at4000rpm and 264lb/ft oftorque at 2000rpm.

Thats considerablymore pep and grunt thanyou get with the next-mostpowerful engine on offer,a 1.4L gasoline-fuelledturbo four-cylinder. This ismated to a six-speed auto-matic, the only transmis-sion on offer.

If youre expecting abarn-burner, this isntthat sort of car. While theCruze Diesel puts out fig-ures that pip everythingelse on offer, the trans-mission and the throttleresponse are most definite-ly programmed for clean-running economy.

However, mine the

torque a bit, and thesprightly chassis respondswell.

This is an ideal Trans-Canada warrior, built tohaul up the mountainpasses and then cruise onthrough the flat sections er, no pun intended.Theres even a brief over-

boost function if you needto get around a semi-trailer, or up a particularlysteep section, with torquerising to 280lb/ft.

Where the Cruze offersits best performance is infuel economy.
