Before the first slab of concrete was poured in the con-struction of the long-awaited SkyTrain system for the Tri-Cities, it had been named the Evergreen Line.Evergreen was picked in a contest to name the yet-to-be-

built line several years back.The consortium of companies tasked with building the

structure, EGRT Construction, even uses Evergreen.But when the line opens up in the summer of 2016, pas-

sengers may not be calling it the Evergreen Line.The Tri-Cities NOW has learned TransLink, which will

operate the line, has looked into the possibility of changingthe name.

One possibility on the table is to name it the MillenniumLine, as an extension of the line that ends in NewWestminster.On Wednesday, officials with TransLink were saying little

about the potential name change.In an e-mail statement to the Tri-Cities NOW, TransLink

said it has no plans to change the Evergreen Line name atthis time.Details of how the Evergreen extension will be integrated

into our existing Millennium line SkyTrain network are stillbeing considered and yet to be finalized, the e-mail said.We will make every effort to ensure our customers

have an easy transition when we integrate the Evergreen

Will it beEvergreen?

ecologists worried about fishing the riverhard in a season when high water tem-peratures might take a bigger toll thanpredicted as salmon move upstream tospawn.Hopes were high Monday morning for

a follow-up to a record run in 2010 thatsaw more than 30 million sockeye floodthe Fraser. By close of day, some gillnet-ters reported as many as 600 salmon on

ice. Other boats upriver were reportingas few as 150.Neither number came as good news to

Aaron Hill, an ecologist with CoquitlamsWatershed Watch Salmon Society.Hill says numbers for the early summer

runs are lower than predicted. Worse yet,fish are entering the river when waterflows are below average and temper-atures are above average and approach-ing lethal limits.Weve been advocating for restraint

on the fishing effort, and to wait until wesee how many fish are up on the spawn-ing grounds, he said.The group is also working with First

Nations to push for openings closer to thespawning grounds so the impacts can bemore accurately determined.

Hill is also a member of the FraserRiver Panel, which is responsible for in-season management of sockeye and pinksalmon fisheries on parts of the Fraser.The panel has said it remains con-

cerned about the en-route losses experi-enced by Fraser River sockeye due tohigh water levels and high temperaturesin recent years.Hill noted that water temperatures in

the river have been rising, and are pre-dicted to go as high as 19 or 20 C, whichthe federal department of Fisheries andOceans says could lead to severe stressand en-route mortality if sustained inthat range.Rain and cooler weather during the

week were expected to have eased thedanger.

Coquitlam has a message for ownerswho are sick of their goldfish or thinktheyd be happier in nature: Dont freeWilly in a lake, pond or river.The city is the latest in Metro

Vancouver to grapple with the problemof goldfish invading its waterways.Caresse Selk, Coquitlams environ-

mental stewardship coordinator, saysthe city has received reports of largenumbers of gold fish in Como Lake thathave likely been dumped there or innearby waters.They are not as problematic as other

invasive fish species, such as bass, butthey do compete with native species forfood and habitat, Selk said.The city has also verified reports of a

pumpkinseed fish in the ponds adjacentto Coquitlam River as well as in LafargeLake, she said.Common pets like turtles and fish

including koi, goldfish and red-earedslidersare considered invasive speciesbecause they arent found naturally inB.C. With no natural predators to keeptheir numbers in check, they can harmto the ecosystems balance and competewith native species for food.Local reports on invasive species are

forwarded to the province for its data-base, and anyone spotting the fish isurged to use a new provincial website atwww.reportinvasives.ca, Selk said.Residents should report any invasive

fish species that they catch or observe.

They should also photograph the fish ifpossible. If they observe suspicious activ-ities related to the illegal movementsof fish, such as dumping, they shouldreport it to the Report All Poachers andPolluters (RAPP Hotline) at 1-877-952-RAPP, Selk said.The city is developing its own signs

related to invasive fish species and willbe distributing education material froman Invaders Make Bad Neighbours cam-

paign, Selk said.Anyone caught releasing a live inva-

sive species into a B.C. waterway can befined between $2,500 to $250,000 onfirst conviction. Subsequent convictionscan cost between $5,000 to $500,000.The penalties were introduced after

someone dumped a snakehead fish intoBurnabys Central Park pond two yearsago, touching off a hunt that made head-lines for days.

While the driver behindthe wheel of a truck that ser-iously injured a cyclist hasturned himself in, police cau-tion more work needs to bedone before charges are laid.On Wednesday, Coquitlam

Mounties announced that aman came forward with his2007 Toyota Tacoma andidentified himself as thedriver related to a collisionon the Mary Hill Bypass July30 that injured Pitt Meadowsresident Bruce Rickman.The man, who was not

identified, turned himself into Coquitlam RCMP Aug. 9, aday after police identified themake and model year of thetruck involved in the crash.RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung

said the suspect is co-operat-ing with investigators and hisvehicle was seized as part ofthe investigation. However,he cautioned the investiga-tion isnt over, and gave notimeline for when any char-ges could be coming.Just because somebody

says he did something, wedont automatically chargehim and arrest him on thespot, sometimes it does hap-pen but not in this case,

Chung said.The RCMP was also say-

ing little about the man whocame forward or what he hastold police.Chung said investigators

are still looking to speak towitnesses and urge anyonewith information to come for-ward, as they work to com-plete the investigation.The victim was riding his

bike along the bypass just eastof Kingsway Avenue beforemidnight July 30 when hewas hit from behind by whatinvestigators believed was aToyota truck or SUV.Investigators recovered a

black plastic passenger sidemirror housing and piecesof a dark plastic bug screenfrom the scene they believeare from the suspect vehicle.The following day, the fam-

ily of the cyclist urged thedriver to come forward andtalk to police.Though Chung said police

would have eventually caughtup with the driver, the recentevents are helpful to the fam-ily.Anyone with any informa-

tion related to the collisionis asked to contact TrafficServices investigators at604-945-1550 and quote filenumber 2014-21316.

Cities looking to fill void left by teachers strikeChris [email protected]

With school strike talkscontinuing under a coneof silence and parents inthe Tri-Cities scramblingto make childcare plans forSeptember, recreation staffare offering a solution.

In Coquitlam, day campscovering full school hourswill be offered in Septemberand continue until classesresume.The idea would be to have

children dropped off withtheir lunches for a full day ofsupervised activities.Camps will likely run at

Pinetree and Poirier centres,with an outdoor camp pos-sibly run out of the commun-ity hall in Victoria Park.Fees, schedules and loca-

tions are being finalizedthis week. Debbie Clavell,Coquitlams recreation man-ager, says fees are likely tobe similar to the $32 a day

for programs offered duringrotating strikes in June.Port Moody will offer day

camps at the recreation com-plex similar to those offeredduring June as well, withfees expected in the $125 perweek range.Details will be posted once

the direction of strike talks is

clear, according to recreationmanager Jim Lacroix.And in Port Coquitlam,

registration has alreadyopened online for extendedsummer camps; childrensregular programs will also beoffered, beginning Sept. 15.Details are available at

www.experienceit.ca.

B.C.s 41,000 teacherslaunched a full strike onJune 17 after rotating strikesand lockouts earlier in themonth.Talks are under way this

week but neither side in thedispute was commentingpublicly on timelines arounda resolution.

Modo introducesmoreways tomove

Changedoesnt sitwell

Jeremy [email protected]

Its become an increasingly popular alterna-tive to car ownership for younger urbanites.So it only made sense that a car-share pro-

gram would come to Port Moody, a commun-ity teeming with young people and families.This week marked the launch of the first

car-sharing program in the Tri-Cities, with theintroduction of Modo, a car-sharing co-op, inthe City of the Arts.Essentially, the service, which was found-

ed in 1997 in Vancouver, sees people eitherbecoming a co-op member or casual memberand renting the cars at an hourly rate.There will be two cars in Port Moody, one in

Suter Brook and one near City Hall to start.Modo is a two-way car share each vehicle

has a home location, with a dedicated parkingstall reserved only for that vehicle.The companys CEO Nathalie Baudoin said

the company chose to expand to Port Moodybecause of the younger demographic and thearrival of the Evergreen Line SkyTrain.She noted there are about 50 Modo mem-

bers already in the community, and the com-pany intends to expand into Coquitlam.Having a car-sharing program in the city

is going to be good for us, but I think its goodfor Port Moody as well, Baudoin told the Tri-Cities NOW, noting one Modo car takes nine to13 vehicles off the road.Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said the com-

munity has been asking for a car-sharing pro-gram for a while now, suggesting youngerpeople are making lifestyle choices that dontinvolve vehicle ownership.When people see they [car-sharing] work,

we can finally get them out of owning a car,he said, adding the city has signed up as a cor-porate member.Alice Park, a Port Moody resident andModo

Co-op member, said she likes car sharingbecause it represents a change in the mental-ity that people have to own something like avehicle to experience it.Ive just seen the Port Moody commun-

ity grow so fast within the last few years inNewport and Suter Brook and thought thetype of people who love Modo are all here,she said.

Clay is equally unimpressedwith the idea of a namechange for the new line.You just dont give up on

your brand, he said. Peoplebuy into a brand, peopleidentify with it locally. So theEvergreen Line is our line inthe Tri-Cities, its always beenthat way. Weve always iden-tified with it.While Clay said he too

understands TransLink is try-ing to make the route moreconsistent and easier forpeople to better understand,he argued the name changewill do the opposite.

ICBCresponds tooil patchallegationsJeremy [email protected]

One of the defendants named in a lawsuitover a crash in Coquitlam that involved analleged oil patch has filed a response.ICBC has denied all of the allegations made

in a lawsuit filed by Simone Chalifoux.In a civil suit filed inMay, Chalifoux claimed

to be involved in a collision near the intersec-tion of Brunette Avenue and Woolridge Streeton May 3, 2012, after her Chevy Blazer slidon an oil like substance that was on all fourlanes of the road.She collided with a Saturn, which had pre-

viously struck another car after sliding on thesame oil patch.The suit claims the oil on the road caused

the accident and as a result of the crash,she suffered several injuries, including painin her right knee, lower back and right hip,multiple fractures to teeth, and headachesand anxiety.But in its response, ICBC claims the plaintiff

sustained no injuries or losses as a result ofcollision. The response also states Chalifouxfailed to wear her seatbelt at the time of thecrash and properly adjust the headrest.ICBC also claims any loss or damage was

caused by a separate accident a couplemonths

later on June 30, 2012.In that instance, the insurance corpora-

tion said the incident was solely caused bythe negligence of the plaintiff, who ended uprear-ending another car on the highway.Chalifouxs suit also names the City of

Coquitlam and two unnamed motorists inher suit.Her claim states the unidentified motorists

caused all of the injuries and damage.However, ICBC contends while it provides

certain coverage to victims of hit-and-runcrashes, the coverage is only provided wherethe claim arises out of the use or operation ofa vehicle on the highway where the identitiesof the driver and owner cant be ascertained.The response states there are no facts that

the negligent acts of the unidentified driversarose out of the use of a motor vehicle, thattheir identities werent ascertainable and theplaintiff gave written notice to the corpora-tion within the time limit.Chalifouxs suit also claims alternatively

that the collision was caused by the city forfailing to clean up the spill and warn motor-ists. Chalifoux is seeking general damages,special damages and costs.None of the allegations have been proven

in court and the City of Coquitlam has yet tofile a response.

This weekend, the VancouverSun reported that Albertabillionaire Murray Edwardshelped organize a $1 mil-lion fundraiser for the B.C.Liberal party at the Calgary PetroleumClub last year.Rapidly becoming a household name

in B.C., Edwards of course is the con-trolling shareholder of Imperial Metals,which operates the Mount Polley Mine.Putting aside that the cash was raised

in another province and likely from folkwho cant vote in B.C., Edwards polit-ical generosity didnt stop at selectingcanapes for his oil and gas pals.Since 2005, Imperial Metals has

donated at least $149,890 to the B.C.Liberals. With a win, place and showwager, that total includes $2,500 toeach of the leadership campaigns ofChristy Clark, Kevin Falcon and GeorgeAbbott. It also tossed $3,000 into thekitty for Bill Bennetts 2009 re-electioncampaign.Mount Polley got in on the action as

well, with the mine topping up dona-tions to the Liberals by $46,720.Now every single cent of those dona-

tions could simply be because Edwardsis a swell guy and Imperial a swell com-pany.But that wont wash away what some

call the sewer scents of B.C. politicsfrom Edwards largesse. Particularly,since its not just the totals that standout, its the timing of the gifts too.Nearly half of Imperial Metals dona-

tions were made after Christy Clark wassworn in as premier, while $45,720 ofMount Polleys donations came via sixseparate cheques issued in one weekalone in March 2013.Guess bank charges werent an issue

for the company.All of which is why the October 2012

presentation of Byng Giraud before

B.C.s Standing Committee on Financeand Government Services is so fascinat-ingGiraud then vice-president, corpor-

ate affairs at Imperial Metals calledon the B.C. government to retain theflow-through tax credits for the explora-tion industry, to keep the PST off capitalinvestments for mining companies and,most importantly, to reduce the approv-al process for a new mine from upwardsof 10 years to as little as three.As he noted to the committee: I think

if were really looking for some flexibil-ity on budget in terms of the mining sec-tor, there is perhaps some wiggle room,but it needs to be in the context of Imgoing to build a mine in three years, somaybe Ill tolerate those additional taxrates. People are willing to pay for cer-tainty and for time.Lo and behold, six months later, the

B.C. Liberal party was promising vot-ers that it would streamline the miningapplication processes, work with thefederal government to ensure miningprojects undergo only one environment-al review process, and that it wouldextend the new mine allowance andother credits allowing new mines andmine expansions to receive depreciationcredits of up to 133 per cent to 2020.This past January in a speech

to the B.C. Association for MineralExploration Premier Clark took itfurther promising a review of B.C.senvironmental assessment office tomake it more effective and efficient,claiming that over the years, theenvironmental assessment process hasgotten so long, so difficult and so com-plex that communities, proponents,cant get a yes, cant get a no.Flashback to 2012 and consider what

Giraud said then: I know that if wecould get these down to three to fiveyears for yes, no or whatever, instead

of the long maybe then there wouldbe incentive for people to throw moremoney at these things.This past June, Clark issued new man-

date letters to each cabinet minister.In Bill Bennetts letter she congratu-

lated him for extending the flow-through tax credit program through2014 and for reducing red tape for themining industry.His mandate now includes working

with the finance ministry to extend thenew mine allowance and other industrycredits to 2020.Oh, the PST still doesnt apply to cap-

ital investments for mining companieseither.There was one last thing about

Girauds presentation that jumped out.Arguing his case for a shorter approvalprocess, he claimed: Nobody trustsexperts anymore from an NGO or froma third party, saying: You know what?We dont trust what youve done.After Mount Polley that can be

marked down as famous last words.

Its hard to say just how much people in the Tri-Cities, and around Metro Vancouver, are married tothe name Evergreen Line.The line, which is now roughly two years awayfrom opening day, has been called the Evergreen Linefor years.But it will likely come as a surprise to many, that

TransLink somewhere internally has considered changingthe name to something different. One option is to refer to itas an extension of the Millennium Line.Mayors in both Coquitlam and Port Moody confirmed

the transit authority has floated the idea of a name change,and both have quickly rebuked the plan. Port MoodyMayor Mike Clay aptly pointed out that the Evergreenname is almost like a brand for residents in the Tri-Cities.Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart noted the idea came

about without any consultation.Even just the thought of moving away from the

Evergreen Line raises some questions that need to beanswered.The transit authority isnt saying much, telling the Tri-

Cities NOW at this time, we have no plans to change theEvergreen Line name. But TransLink also said details ofhow the Evergreen extension will be integrated into ourexisting Millennium line SkyTrain network are still beingconsidered and yet to be finalized.While maybe the name hasnt been changed yet, why

even contemplate a name change after so many years ofcalling it Evergreen?How much will it cost to re-brand the line, and are the

municipalities and residents going to be consulted beforeany renaming?TransLink indeed has some work to do if they dont like

the Evergreen name and want to make a change.

IS IT TIMETORAISE TAXES?Mount Polley Mine, Fraser

Health, teachers dispute: is ittime to re-visit the anti-tax man-tra?On Gordon Campbells first day

as premier in 2001 he announceda $2 billion cut in taxes. ManyBritish Columbian taxpayerscheered the $200 reduction peryear in gross tax.In the succeeding 13 years

Liberal governments have boastedabout B.C. having the lowesttaxes in North America.In the anti-tax climate of the

past decade or so, that rhetoricseemed to jive with the generalmood. However, perhaps, just per-haps it is time to consider increas-ing taxes.Not taking inflation into

account, the Liberals tax cuthas taken more than $26 billionout of provincial services. Whilelow taxes may seem appealing,recently we have witnessed realexamples of some impacts ofthose tax cuts.The Ministry of Environments

budget has been cut by 25 percent. Mine inspections havedecreased to such an extent thatdisasters like that at the MountPolley mine have occurred. Fraser

Health was recently criticizedfor referring stroke victims awayfrom its overcrowded hospitalsbecause of budget restrictions.Then there is the ongoing disputebetween the government and theprovinces public school teachersThe primary sticking points havebeen funding cuts (from 2001) toclass sizes and supports for specialneeds students.It can hardly be argued that the

$26 billion in tax cuts over the last13 years have not had very seriousand negative impacts.One thing that makes British

Columbia a wonderful place tolive is our comparatively highquality of public services (healthcare, education, environmentalprotection, pensions, etc.). Thosethings cost money. More than adecade of tax cuts has resulted ina reduction in the quality of servi-ces to British Columbians.Given that Christy Clark was

elected, in part, on a no tax agen-da, one cannot expect the B.C.Liberals to propose a tax increase(despite the fact that they haveregularly increased hidden taxeslike Hydro and medical servicesplan rates). In light of the disasterat Mount Polley, the dire situationin Fraser Health and other hos-pitals, and the ongoing disputeabout funding for class sizes and

support for special needs stu-dents, maybe, just maybe it is timeto challenge the anti-tax mantraso that the quality of life in ourcommunities can be improved.Following the Dix debacle in

the last election, the B.C. NDPseems afraid of its shadow, so wehave not seen any leadership fromthat side.Perhaps two MLAs, the Green

Partys AndrewWeaver, andIndependent Vicki Huntington,can play a positive and relevantrole by introducing into the polit-ical dialogue some honest leader-ship and propose taxes be raisedto even half of the cut from wayback in 2001 so that our provinceand the quality of life that goeswith its public services can bebuilt rather than cut, cut, cut.

LEAVETHEPARKBENCHESALONERe: Are park messages

too sombre?, Friday, Aug. 1The August 1 article Are park

messages too sombre? really gotmy blood boiling.I am so tired of these politicians

bowing to special interest groups

regarding everything.They like to lead the public to

believe that the majority of peopleare daily complaining that thesepark plaques are too sombre ormorbid and need to be kept in thecemetery. Ive taken my own polland I have not found this to be atall the truth.To have nothing to do but yet

again take on an issue like thison the backs of the taxpayer isunbelievable. First of all I thinkthe Coquitlam residents have aright to know the true numbers ofthese so-called complaints.Ive been visiting Como Lake

for years and have talked to manypeople and havent found onethat has a complaint about theseplaques. Coun. Terry ONeill hasshown what hes all about bystating these roadside memorialthings, they are sort of an impos-ition. They are forcing us driversto kind of deal with this verypublic display of grief for monthsand sometimes years. And I dontappreciate that.Well frankly Mr. ONeill, I find

you as offensive as those few thatfind these memorials offensiveand I will be carefully looking atall of you come the next election.

Lightingup thenewStepUpTom [email protected] Coquitlam resident

helped light up dance movesin the latest Step Up movie.A high-tech KLR10 unit

developed and built byParasol Systems was used inkey scenes for Step Up: AllIn, which opened in theatreslast Friday as the fifth moviein the series.The movie is a big show-

case for us, absolutely,said Coquitlams HermannFruhm, CEO of Parasol, acompany he co-founded in2006. Its an exciting timefor us. Were still a smallcompany, but were the littleengine that could.One of the companys

three lighting units, the rela-tively small STAR600, is builtat its year-old headquarters,located in the Port Kells areaof Surrey.The two larger units,

including the one used inStep Up, are built at a plant

in Dallas, Texas.Three of Parasols

STAR600 units will soon beshipped to China for use in adance club there.This technology is

designed for big concerts,tours, nightclubs, movies anything that requires speciallighting, Fruhm said.Parasol-developed lighting

systems utilize self-propel-ling and wirelessly controlledvehicles that travel along pre-determined guideways.In basic terms, the technol-

ogy moves already-movinglights, and Fruhm is con-fident the technology willrevolutionize the lightingindustry.My whole way of thinking

is this almost requires a newway of thinking by lightingdesigners, said Fruhm.The companys KLR10

unit is featured in the finaledance sequence in the latestStep Up movie, and also intrailers for the film.

Vaccinateyourpettoavoid rabiesvirusThe benefits of warm weather are numer-

ous and include the opportunity to spend longhours outdoors enjoying the fresh air.Increased time spent outside, whether at

parks, beaches or right in ones own backyard,means a greater likelihood of coming intocontact with wildlife.Just as people are anxious to frolic in the

nice weather, so, too, is nearby wildlife.Chance encounters between people, pets

and wildlife are generally uneventful.However, should such encounters include a

rabid animal, the consequences can be grave.The rabies virus affects the central nerv-

ous system, causing disease in the brain andeventually death.Without prompt treatment, death can occur

rather quickly. Lyssavirus rabies, the rabiesvirus, typically enters the body of a human orother animal through a bite or scratch from aninfected animal. Saliva from infected animalsand bat guano also may transmit rabies tohumans in certain circumstances.Racoons, skunks, foxes, woodchucks, and

bats have been known to transmit rabies,while small mammals, such as squirrels, rats,mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chip-munks, rabbits, and hares, are only rarelyinfected with rabies and have not been knownto cause rabies among humans in the UnitedStates.The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention say initial symptoms may be diffi-cult to recognize because the fever, headacheand general discomfort common to rabiesinfections are similar to those of many otherillnesses.As rabies progresses, anxiety, paralysis,

excitation, hallucinations, hypersalivation,and agitation can develop.

A person exposed to rabies should ideallybe treated within 12 to 48 hours for the bestoutcome. Treatment for pets can vary.Dogs that have not been vaccinated and

cats that were exposed to a rabid animal areoften euthanized immediately. Otherwise,the pet may be placed in strict isolation andobserved for six months.Dogs and cats that receive a rabies vaccine

are typically kept for observation for 45 days.Animals with expired vaccinations will beevaluated on a case-by-case basis, accordingto the CDC.Rabies has been a problem for centuries.

The term rabies is a Latin word meaningmadness or rage. Rabies has been reportedin historical documents since about 2300B.C.Although cases of rabies infections acquired

from dogs have been virtually eliminated,there is an increasing incidence of rabies inwild animals, and bats and raccoons are par-ticularly susceptible carriers.Rabid animalsmay be aggressive and drool-

ing, but in many cases rabid animals are with-drawn, making it difficult to determine if youare face-to-face with a rabid animal. To playit safe, avoid contact with animals known totransmit rabies, particularly raccoons, whichcan be aggressive even if not afflicted.Dogs and cats should not be left unattended

in a yard for extended periods of time.If a municipality issues warnings about

increased rabies outbreaks in the area, takethem seriously.Keep pets up-to-date on rabies vaccines,

which remain the most effective preventativemeasure against the disease.

Toyotas Venza a stylish, versatile crossoverDavid [email protected]

The Toyota Venza is somewhatunique in Toyotas line-up, whichconsists of high-quality modelswith generic characteristics.The Venza boasts expressive

styling, an engaging driving experi-ence, driver-friendly technologyand impressive versatility that givesit a bit more charisma.The Venza is larger than the

RAV4, yet smaller than the seven-passenger Highlander.This makes the Venza a great

choice for someone looking forthe versatility of a small SUV, butdoesnt want the bulk or brutishlook of some SUVs.While the Venzas car-like chas-

sis does limit its off-road ability, itsreliable choice of engines, comfort-able seating for five and impressivestandard features make it a strongcompetitor in the crossover SUVsegment.

Design:The Venza shares the same

platform as the Toyota Camry andHighlander.Therefore, the V6 engine,

transmission, brakes, steering andsuspension are the same and can betrusted as reliable and dependable.However, the Venza is more thanjust an amalgamation of the twomodels.The Venza offers the comfort you

expect from a premium sedan and

combines it with the higher seatingposition and outward visibility as-sociated with an SUV.It also provides a wider, more

athletic stance and available all-wheel-drive.A product exclusive to North

America, the Venza shares its plat-form with other Toyota vehicles butthe U.S.-based design team madesure it is visually different than theCamry and its larger sibling, theHighlander.While it sits taller than a Camry,

step-in height remains low, so get-ting in an out is still easy for height-challenged people and the elderly.Seven standard airbags add to thepeace-of-mind.

Performance:There are two engine options

to choose from for the Venza, asin the past. The base model Venzacomes with a 2.7-litre four-cylinderwhich returns a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of8.6L/100km. However, the Venzais not a light vehicle and with only182 hp available, merging onto ahighway is not the easiest.The 268 hp, 3.5-litre V6 is much

more up to the task. This enginestill achieves a combined fueleconomy rating of 9.6L/100km.This should be the engine of choicefor those who plan to do a lot ofhighway driving.Regardless of which powerplant

you choose, it will be mated to a six-speed automatic ECT transmission

with sequential shift mode. Also,both can be equipped with AWDdrivetrain.

EnvironmentThe cabin inside the Venza feels

large, airy and spacious in all direc-tions.

Head, leg and hip room numbersare all near the top of the segment.To make the cabin feel even moreairy, an optional panoramic moon-roof allows all occupants to enjoythe sky.From the eight-way adjustable

driver seat, the instrument panel

features a high-visibility Optitrondisplay.Since the Venza has no third-row

of seating, it is able to offer 70.1cubic feet of cargo space when theseats are folded down.

SUBMITTED

A smooth, uncomplicated design and comfortable interior which includes a standard, eight-wayadjustable drivers seat puts the Toyota Venza at the front of its class.

trade up to b.c.s mostfuel-efficient truck EVER

Dear Tom and Ray:I woke up screaming the

other night, as Id dreamed Ihad just pumped five gallonsof diesel fuel into my Prius.Back in the 50s, I heardon the radio (maybe it wasyour grandfathers show,Buggy Talk?) that addinga gallon of diesel fuel to afull tank of gas would addtop-cylinder lubrication. I tried it severaltimes on my 53 Plymouth on trips, with noill effect. What would happen if I did thattoday?

David

TOM: Your wallet would be $1,000lighter.RAY: It most likely would ruin your cata-

lytic converter.

TOM: Thats why yougot away with it in your 53Plymouth, which had abso-lutely no emissions equip-ment.RAY: Diesel fuel is

cleaner than it used to be;you no longer see sticks androcks and dinosaur bonesin it. So it mixes easily withthe gasoline, and probably

would pass through the fuel pump and fuelinjectors without doing harm.TOM: But it probably would kill your

catalyst, and youd never pass an emissionsinspection without that.RAY:When a customer of ours accident-

ally puts diesel fuel in a gasoline car, wehave him or her tow it in. We remove thegas tank and drain it completely. Then werefill the tank with gasoline, and run the

fuel pump with all of the fuel injectorsremovedwe just let the fuel injectorsspray into a container.TOM: So that second tank of gasoline

flushes out the fuel line and the injectorswithout running the gasoline through theengine.RAY: Theres obviously a small amount

of diesel fuel that was left on the walls ofthe tank. But that gets dissolved in thatsecond tank of gasoline and diluted to thepoint where its harmless.TOM:Hope that helps, David. Now,

pour yourself a cup of warmmilk and goback to sleep.

Thatdiesel top-up is anightmare

CLICK&CLACKTom&RayMagliozzi

Features:Starting prices range from $28,695 to $32,250. TheVenza has four models to choose from and three pack-ages.Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for FWD four-

cylinder models are 10.0 city, 6.9 highway for 8.6 com-bined and AWD models return 10.2 city, 7.1 highwayand 8.8 combined. Six-cylinder models in FWD trimare rated at 11.1 city, 7.7 highway and 9.6 combinedand AWD models see 11.4 city, 7.9 highway for 9.8combined.

The Bottom Line:The 2014 Toyota Venza is a roomy, versatile cross-

over that offers premium styling and car-like drivingdynamics thats hard to beat.
