RCMP
Woman, 70, bruised by cops
A 70-year-old Richmond women is alleg-ing police brutality against four RichmondRCMP officers after she was arrested lastFriday.
But Richmond RCMP say HenrietteDurand was drunk and resisting arrest afterthey responded to a domestic dispute call.
Durand sustained injuries that sent her tohospital during her arrest July 30. The injuriesincluded a bruised arm.
“They just threw me on the floor, facedown, hands behind my back, handcuffed,”she told the Province newspaper. She said shespent three hours in police lockup and severalmore in hospital.
The News was unable to reach Durand forfurther comment.
Richmond RCMP received a 911 call July30 from a neighbour reporting a domestic dis-pute in the 10,000 block of Railway Avenue.
Durand told the Province she and herfriend were having an argument in their backgarden and suspects a neighbour, with whomthere appears to be some bad blood, called911. Police were told by the caller that a knifemight be involved.
Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, of the RichmondRCMP, said that the caller told the dispatcherthat he or she had heard “I’ll do it,” and “putdown the knife,” which is what led police tobelieve someone might be armed.
“Police were met with an intoxicated andvery uncooperative female who lunged atone of our officers,” Turley said. “The officerdefended himself, using the least amount offorce necessary to prevent the attack.”
Turley confirmed Durand was not armedwith a knife when arrested and that no knifewas recovered.
Durand told the Province she answered aknock at the door and was met by three maleand one female police officers, who asked tosee her ID. She said she showed police herpassport and then was taken down.
“It does sound bad in the paper, but wedon’t gang-pile people,” Turley said. “Theywere trying to place her under arrest for hercoming at one of our officers and she wasresisting the entire time.”
Turley said police explained to Durand thatthey needed to enter her home to make sureeveryone there was safe. They managed tolocate her roommate and determined she wasnot harmed.
“During that, without warning, Durandlunged at the officer,” Turley said.
“The officer was able to put Durand’s handbehind her back and place her up against thewall. Durand resisted by struggling to breakfree, so she was taken down to the ground totake control of her.”
In the process, she hit her elbow on some-thing, causing the bruise. Turley added thatDurand remained belligerent through theentire ordeal.
“At one point, Durand demanded service inFrench, just to make things more difficult forus,” Turley said. “So we actually got a transla-tor. A French translator attended to assist.”
As for charges, Turley said RCMP havedecided not to recommend any.
“We’re not going to be proceeding withcharges due to the fact that she is a 70-year-old lady.”
She said there would be no automaticreview of the case, based on Durand’s allega-tions of police brutality. But if Durand feelsRCMP used excessive force, Turley said shecould file a compliant with the RCMP’s publiccomplaints commission.

August 61914 – World War I: Serbiadeclares war on Germany;
Austria declares war onRussia.
Ablind Richmond man haslaunched a human rightscomplaint against the City
of Richmond for failing to live upto a promise it made to install audioprompts at crosswalks throughoutthe city.
But Rob Sleath will be goingit alone when he appears beforethe B.C. Human Rights TribunalAug. 23 to 27, as the RichmondCommittee on Disability, which hassupported Sleath in the past, is notsupporting his bid to force the city’shand.
“Yes, the city dragged its heelsfor a long time, but that’s the natureof the beast,” says RCD secretaryFrances Clark.
“The key thing is that he decidedto initiate the action at a time whenthe city was actually working withhim. We were making good prog-ress.”
Sleath, who is one of about550 blind or visually impairedpeople registered with the CanadianNational Institute for the Blind inRichmond, disagrees.
He chairs the Advocates forSight Impaired Consumers, a localgroup that advocates on behalf ofRichmond’s visually impaired. Hehas been lobbying the city on theissue of blind way-finding for sev-eral years now.
About five years ago, the citystarted installed roughly 60 specialpedestrian crosswalks at high-traf-fic areas throughout the city. Sleathlobbied to have them all equippedwith audio cues for the blind, but
the city decided against it.“The city went ahead and
installed up to 60 of them, knowingfull well that they were problematicfor people with vision loss,” Sleathsaid.
But in 2007, the city’s public
works and transportation approved$150,000 in funding to retrofit thecrosswalks with audio prompts, at acost of about $3,000 per crosswalk.
But they’ve yet to materialize,and Sleath said it all comes down toa disagreement on the type of sys-
tem to use.“The traffic engineering depart-
ment and myself don’t see eye-to-eye in terms of what technology touse,” he said.
He’s not sure what kind of sys-tem the city wants to install — hejust knows that it does not want toinstall any system that uses lan-guage cues, but prefers non-verbalsounds.
“The city, for some reason, is notprepared to put in verbal messag-ing,” Sleath said.
The advantage of a verbal cueis that it can tell pedestrians whatstreet they are on — somethingsighted people simply take forgranted. Sleath said the city wantedto go with an audio cue that usesa non-verbal cue, like a clickingsound.
He said he was told by city staff-er that the city’s aversion to verbalmessaging may have something todo with Richmond’s proximity toan international airport.
Sleath isn’t sure what that means.But if it has something to do withRichmond’s linguistic diversity, hesaid the argument does not holdwater because street names, likeGranville Avenue, are pronouncedthe same in any language.
“I don’t care what language youspeak, you are still going to pro-nounce it ‘Granville,’” Sleath said.
Because it is to be the subjectof a quasi-judicial hearing, city hallspokesman Ted Townsend said thecity could not comment on Sleath’scomplaints.
Blind man takes city to task on crosswalksHuman Rights action filed for failure to install audible prompts
NELSON BENNETT/RICHMOND NEWS
Rob Sleath tries to negotiate the crosswalk at the Gilbert and Lucasroads intersection with his guide dog.
Rob Sleath approaches the cor-ner of Lucas and Gilbert Road, withthe help of his guide dog, Lombardi.
He knows there is a lightedcrosswalk here, but still has to flailaround until he finds the button toactivate the flashing amber light.Traffic rushes by.
“Here we are, standing at thecorner, and nobody’s stopping forus,” he says. “They’re waiting forthe light to go on.”
He hits the button and the amberlights flash on. He has no way of
knowing this, however, because he’sblind. A car zips past, despite theflashing light.
“It didn’t stop, did it?” he says.In fact, he has to listen to the
traffic to make sure it sounds like ithas stopped before he takes a leapof faith and steps out onto GilbertRoad.
A handful of controlled intersec-tions in the city have audio cues forthe blind. A chirruping or “cukoo”sound signals blind people it is safeto cross because traffic has stopped
for a red light.But at pedestrian crosswalks,
there are no audible cues, and traf-fic does not have to stop for flash-ing amber lights, unless there is apedestrian in the crosswalk.
A blind person has no way ofknowing where these special cross-walks are to begin with, and whenthey do arrive there, they have tohunt for the pole and activation but-ton.
When they push it, they have noway of knowing if the light is flash-
ing because there are no audiblecues.
Sleath said audible way-find-ing technology can be installed atcrosswalks that emit low-volumerepetitive sounds so that the visu-ally impaired can tell when they areapproaching a crosswalk and locatethe activation button.
It can also verbally inform themthat the light is flashing, and whatstreet they are on. Such systemsare in place in the District of NorthVancouver and Langley Township.

Two large-scale projectorswill beam giant images ofRichmond’s life story ontothe south lobby windows ofthe Olympic oval.
The plan is part of theRichmond Oval Precinct ArtPlan and will involve a silentfilm being shown, when poorlight permits, to the east andwest of the lobby entrance.
The projections — whichwill be a montage of bogs,fires in Steveston Village andthe former city hall, boating,fishing, net building, speedskaters and the Brighouseracetrack — will be seenfrom the outside and theinside of the oval.
Artists Deanne Achong
and Faith Moosang presentedtheir vision to city council’sparks and recreation com-mittee last week. Around$500,000 was originally setaside for the phase of theplan. However, staff toldcommittee that the proposedcost of the large-scale projec-tion art is only $350,000.
The report to committee
pointed out that the southlobby of the oval is a par-ticularly busy section of thefacility and any public artinstallation should not inter-fere with the movement ofpeople.
That’s why the large-scaleprojections of Richmond’slife story were chosen to bethe south lobby’s public art
contribution.The projections would
start when outside lightlevels diminish to a certainlevel, thought to be arounddusk or on a dark winter day.
The committee endorsedthe proposed plan and it willgo before next month’s fullcouncil meeting for finalapproval.

EDITORIAL OPINION
At first blush, Rob Sleath’s decision to haul the City ofRichmond before the Human Rights Tribunal over what he feelsis an unreasonable delay in implementing way-finding for theblind seems a bit excessive.
Citizens suffering tax and bleeding heart fatigue might wellfume: “Here we go again. Let’s spend hundreds of thousands toplacate a small, special interest group.”
Sleath is asking that existing pedestrian crosswalks beequipped with audible devices that help blind people locate thecrosswalks and their activation buttons, and let them know ifthe light is flashing, at a cost of $150,000.
Think Sleath’s demands are unreasonable? Try this: Walkacross No. 3 Road, Minoru Boulevard or any other busy streetin the city. But do it blindfolded.
Even if you manage to locate the crosswalk and find the but-ton, ask yourself just how confident you are stepping out intothe street not knowing if the light is flashing or whether traffichas stopped.
And if that doesn’t bring you around to Sleath’s side ofthings, just consider how much our local and senior govern-ments spend to facilitate car traffic. We spend millions everyyear on roads in this city. Blind people, who are taxpayers too,can’t drive. They must take public transit and to do that theyhave to negotiate busy streets by foot. That’s dangerous enoughin Richmond for those of us who can see — a serious hazardfor those who can’t.
Sleath’s case is unusual because the City of Richmond hasa good track record when it comes to responding to the needsof people with disabilities. The city seems to be hung up on thetype of system to use. Sleath wants the kind of voice messagingthat is used in places like North Vancouver.
If city bureaucrats are worried about having to provide voicemessaging in English, French, Mandarin, Punjabi, etc., Sleathhas a good answer for this. City streets sound the same no mat-ter what language you speak. So it really is a bit of a non-issue.The funding was approved in 2007. So what’s the hold up?

Alittle time spentrelaxing withfriends, chatting
and socializing, can feel asgood as a vacation. Turnsout it not only feels good,but having good relation-ships can also help you livelonger.
In these harried times,the opportunity to con-nect with people, to laughtogether, or share stories, ismore crucial than ever. Yet,according to the authors ofa research paper that showsfriendships help you livelonger, the quantity andquality of social relation-ships is decreasing in mod-ern life.
The report, SocialRelationships andMortality Risk, publishedin the online journal PloSMedicine by co-authorJulianne Holt-Lunstad,found that lack of friendsis just as bad for you assmoking and alcohol con-sumption and even worsefor you than lack of physi-cal inactivity and obesity.
Further, the report foundthat people with good rela-tionships are 50 per centmore likely to live longerthan those with weakersocial relationships.
We need to cherish ourrelationships, and not takethem for granted.
I had a dinner out withlongtime friends last week-end, and it was just what thedoctor ordered. Althoughit wasn’t easy coordinatingthe social and family calen-dars of six forty-somethingwomen, we pulled it off.We had dinner, went fora walk and just enjoyedeach other’s company. It
was such a delightful breakfrom the everyday crazinessof being a working mother,and we should try to pull itoff more often.
Modern life is isolat-ing. People live behindtheir computers, and rushfrom work to home to workagain. The report’s authorsfound that in the modernworld people in extendedfamilies don’t live witheach other, or even nearby.More and more people areliving alone, and lonelinessis becoming more common.
The authors say therehas been a three-foldincrease in the number ofAmericans who say theyhave no close confidantsin the past 20 years. Thatmeans there are people whohave no one to share theirhopes, their fears or evenjust their mundane storieswith each day. Not onlydoes that sound unhealthy,to me it sounds downrightsad.
Mental Health Americashares the following tipsfor feeling stronger andmore hopeful in life (and I’dhazard to guess that feelingstronger and more hopefulalso aids longevity). Theirtop tip is to connect withothers. If you’re lonely anddon’t know where to beginto connect with others, tryjoining something. Get outthere in your community,
and I bet you’ll meet peopleby getting involved.
If you’ve got some peo-ple you know, but you’velost touch or you’ve had afalling out, reconnect. Onceyou do, be a good friend bystaying in touch, listeningand really appreciating yourfriends and family.
Mental Health Americaalso recommends gettingphysically active, helpingothers, taking care of yourspirit and creating joy andsatisfaction. I can think oflots of volunteering oppor-tunities that would involvethese types of activities, andthat would help with the toptip, connecting with others.
Eating well is anothertip to staying strong, and agood meal is always betterwhen shared with peopleyou care about. If you’relonely, reach out and invitea friend over for a home-cooked meal, or to enjoydinner out with you.
Staying positive, gettingenough sleep, dealing betterwith hard times and gettingprofessional help if youneed it round out the tips.
Human beings are socialanimals. Turns out we needeach other to survive, andto thrive.
If you’ve been put-ting off that lunch date, oravoiding your voice mailbecause you’re too busy toplan a get together, do ittoday. Pick up the phone,sign onto Facebook, what-ever it takes to organize adate with a friend. You’ll beglad you did, and you’ll behealthier for it.

The Editor,Re: “Public transit fare evasion figures revealed,” News,
July 28.I had the opportunity to read about fare evasion and
have a brief conversation with Richmond Coun. BillMcNulty on the same subject.
It is my personal observation that a fair number ofCanada Line and city bus passengers, especially those whoboard B-line buses, do not bother to purchase tickets.
I have been told that the majority of those passengerswho seem to travel without tickets are pass holders.
But how does the transit authority ensure that passen-gers boarding without tickets are pass holders?
This mystery continues to baffle me.I believe that if the Canada Line, SkyTrain and buses
were equipped with the system to stop the freeloaderseven during the short Olympics the taxpayers might haverecouped a fair amount of their tax investment.
Our governments (all three levels) must not forget thatthey are elected (as trustees) to ensure that our hard earnedincome is well invested not squandered recklessly.

The Editor,Re: “SPCA shouldn’t compete with
city shelter,” Letters, July 30.You should never imply that a not-for-
profit organization should pack up andleave just because there is another one ofits kind there as well.
Anyone who says that the RichmondBC SPCA Education & Adoption Centreis competing with RAPS has clearlynever visited their No.3 Road location ortaken the time to learn what they are allabout.
I was there recently when a womancame in with a cat that had been hit bya car. Everyone there dropped what theywere doing to tend to the cat and calmthe woman down.
They then rushed the poor cat to theNo.2 Road Animal Hospital to makesure it received the best care as quicklyas possible. To me, I would never want aplace that cares for an animal that whole-heartedly to ever leave.
Does B. Johnston know that theRichmond BC SPCA Education &Adoption Centre holds summer camps sothat kids can learn about animal respon-sibility?
Does B. Johnston know that last year
the government supplied only 1.5 per centof the operating cost required? Meaningthe rest was raised through donations bypeople who see what a great organizationit is.
Does B. Johnston know the RichmondBC SPCA Education & Adoption Centreis actively involved in the fight to banpuppy pet store sales? This would helplower the number of unwanted or aban-doned animals in the Richmond area.
People should do their research beforeimplying that there is no need for theRichmond SPCA Education & AdoptionCentre just because RAPS is here as well.
There are so many not-for-profit orga-nizations in the world whose sole purposeis bettering the lives of animals that can-not help themselves.
If we’re only allowed one per city, Ican’t even imagine how over-populatedthat particular shelter would be.
It’s time for people to wake up andrealize that there is room for more thanone place for adoptions to take place,especially when it comes to looking outfor those who cannot look out for them-selves.

The Editor,In the days of my youth,
trips to “visit the farms” inRichmond were a regularsummer outing for our fam-ily in Vancouver.
Crossing the Fraser Riverdelivered us to a place thatwas pastoral; full of smalltown charm, open spaces,and family-owned farms.
Sadly, the Richmond inmy memory differs greatlyfrom the city in which I’velived since I was married.
Today, fertile farmlandis rezoned and developed;single family homes areregularly demolished tomake way for monster homesor stratas; high-rise buildingsnow dot the landscape.
If today’s new homes haveany yard at all, it is rarely asubstantial size.
Many Richmond residentshave no outdoor space oftheir own in which to relax,unwind and reconnect withnature.
They say, “You can’t stopprogress,” but progress islike beauty: it’s a matter ofopinion.
Parks such as South Arm,which are natural and serene,
offer a place to escape thehustle and bustle of modernlife.
Such places are vital foreveryone’s mental health.When I lost my belovedhusband to leukemia, I wasovercome with grief anddespair.
My dog was the reasonI got out of bed each day,family and friends offeredemotional support, and SouthArm Park provided sanctu-ary.
Walking along the pathsin a serene atmosphereallowed me to reflect as Istruggled with my grief. Thelush fields, trees, and smallwildlife all helped to lift myspirits.
My daily walks in thepark are now a pleasant rou-tine, helping me to destressand cope.
I believe the natural beau-ty which South Arm offers isthe most effective therapy inthe world.
Best of all, it is availableat no charge to anyone whoseeks it.
Many residents maynot be aware that the Cityof Richmond has plans tochange South Arm Park aswe know it.
I doubt that covered pic-nic areas will benefit theneighbourhood. I frequentlycome upon empty liquor bot-
tles (often shattered on thepaths) which are evidencethat young people are drink-ing in the park after dark.Building sheltered areas willonly make it more conve-nient for them to hang out inall kinds of weather.
It is vital that South ArmPark be preserved exactlythe way it is for present andfuture generations.
This doesn’t mean thatI’m opposed to athleticfacilities. But we must notallow the peacefulness andnatural beauty of South ArmPark to be sacrificed in thename of “progress.” I urgeothers who feel the same wayto take action before it’s toolate.
Write letters, sign thepetition (www.thepetitionsite.com/2/save-south-arm-park),and make your opinionknown.
If you do nothing, thenwe, and generations to come,may all live to regret it.
Please don’t feel that it’sfutile to try to fight city hall.
In the words of MargaretMead, “Never doubt thata small group of thought-ful, committed citizens canchange the world. Indeed,it is the only thing that everhas.”

There would no doubthave been some sore armsand palms and, one wouldthink, a fair few birdieswhen some of Richmond’stop golf professionals tookpart in a 24-hour golf-a-thon.
Throughout the monthof June, 88 golf prosand juniors at 43 coursesacross the province par-ticipated in the PGA ofB.C. event to raise aware-ness and funds for theALS (Amyotrophic LateralSclerosis) Society of BC.
Their goal was to playas many holes as wasphysically possible in the24-hour period.
Taking part in the eventin Richmond were teamsfrom Mayfair Lakes,Richmond Country Cluband Quilchena Golf &Country Club.
Mayfair Lakes golfed309 holes and raised $835;Quilchena played 661holes and raised more than$4,800 and the Richmond
Country Club team man-aged 505 holes and raisedmore than $5,000.
ALS is a neurodegener-ative disorder that affectsthe person’s motor neuronsthat carry messages to themuscles resulting in weak-ness and wasting in arms,legs, mouth, throat andelsewhere.
Typically, the person isimmobilized or deceasedwithin two to five years of
the initial diagnosis.In Canada two to three
Canadians die every dayof ALS.
Approximately 3,000Canadians currently haveALS. Some 20,000 to25,000 Canadians who arealive and in good healthwill die of ALS.
In B.C., there are morethan 300 people livingwith ALS.

Senior parents suing theiradult children for support?? Yup.You might have seen the story earlier this week in the Province newspaper. A 71 year old mother, nowliving in Trail, who abandoned her children (now adults) years ago when they were teens, is now seekingsupport payments from them.The parent can indeed try. The legal authority comes from sections 90 and 91 of the Family RelationsAct. There is case authority also (including a case called Newson v. Newson, heard by the Court of Appealfirst in 1997). It appears that in such applications, the Court will consider the means of the children andwill consider that the children may have their own children to support (which is the casewith the family written about in the Province). But the parents will have to establishsome degree of entitlement. So this remedy is not new for parents, but you willappreciate that relationships are likely not good when these kinds of applications arebeing attempted by parents.

Let’s talk about theV6-powered 2011 FordMustang—specifically, the
one that recently completed1,457 laps at Bristol MotorSpeedway (1,250km) ona single tank of gas. Fordaccomplished this as partof the Mustang 1000 Lap
Challenge (www.mustan-g1000lapchallenge.com),seeking to prove that thenew, 3.7L V6 qualifies the2011 Mustang as a fuel-efficient sports car.
There’s no doubt that thenew V6—which produces70 per cent more horse-power than last year’s 4.0Lblock with lower fuel con-sumption—is an impressivefeat of engineering, andFord should be commendedfor it. But the 1000 LapChallenge was a marketingmove of questionable value,because it doesn’t reflectthe Mustang’s actual perfor-mance.
Rounding the track at anaverage speed of 70 km/h,Challenge drivers encour-aged fuel efficiency by“minimizing the use of airconditioning, steady andconsistent driving, avoid-ing sudden stops/starts and
by keeping the RPMs low.”That’s great in controlledtrack conditions, but it’ssetting owners up for disap-pointment when they takethe car into the real world,due simply to the demands
of daily driving. The slight-est acceleration will sendthe economy gauge sky-ward, and stop-and-go traf-fic neutralizes any savingsfrom highway mileage. So,while a 2011 Mustang V6
is technically more efficientthan the 2010 version, itfeels like you have to put infar more effort and restraintwhen driving to make thathappen.
New Mustang both fuel efficient, powerfulFORD

But the new V6 is powerful, maybe toopowerful for its own good. The beauty ofthe old V6, with its 210-hp and 240 lb-ft oftorque, was that it was big and easy-going.With reasonable horsepower and plenty oftorque it was a very relaxed and smoothengine, and the right choice for thoseprizing Mustang style over pure speed. Incontrast, the new V6 feels like it’s tryingtoo hard to use its 305-hp and 280 lb-ft oftorque. It’s not interested in cruising, butit doesn’t have the acceleration of the V8-powered Mustang GT (which also gains anew engine for 2011). It’s somewhere in-between, and maybe that’s OK, maybe not.You’ll need to drive one yourself to makethat judgement.
This being said, the Mustang remains agreat value and an excellent car. It’s a bitunfortunate that the recent changes—thedrivetrains this year and the revised exte-rior styling last year—have been doneto remain competitive with the returningChevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger,because the Mustang was already far betterthan either of its newer competitors.
DesignWhereas the current Mustang looked
clean and classic when it debuted, the mid-cycle refresh turned it into something that’saggressive and overly muscular. It’s as if itpumped too much iron in the gym, goingfrom sprinter to bodybuilder overnight.
With a bulging hood and arched brow
over the headlamps, the Mustang has apredatory look—especially when done upin the GT California Special Edition pack-age, which adds a chrome billet-style grilleand side air scoops behind the doors.
The dashboard centres on two top-mounted, rectangular vents set in a brushedaluminum panel that runs the width of thecar and pinches in the middle. The aesthet-ic is quite pleasing, but ergonomics couldbe improved by moving those vents andplacing the controls higher up.
Compared to newer Fords, theMustang’s materials are beginning to feela bit dated. That’s not a big surprise, as it’sone of the older vehicles in Ford’s portfolioand suffers in comparison to the materialsin the fantastic Fusion and Taurus sedans.
PerformanceIn addition to the new V6, the Mustang
gains a 5.0L V8 generating 412-hp and 390lb-ft of torque, compared to the 315-hpand 325 lb-ft of torque of last year’s 4.6Lengine. It’s also more efficient than its pre-decessor, and both engines share six-speedmanual and automatic transmissions.
If you like acceleration, the V8 is a bet-ter choice. The V6 struggles through the3000-4000 rpm range, then surges when ithits maximum horsepower at 6,500. Thereis, however, a ton of torque at the low end.
With a large turning radius, theMustang requires wide berths in the park-ing lot. On the road, the steering is sharpand accurate, providing excellent control
and great confidence, but understeer isdetectable in turns.
The 2010 updates included adjust-ments to the springs, shock absorbers, andstabilizers, greatly improving ride qualityand stability. You feel the bumps on roughroads, but the ride is rarely harsh or tiring.
EnvironmentFor pure style the convertible is the best
choice, looking great whether the top is upor folded neatly behind the rear seats. Ifyou want a year-round car with an open-air feel, the coupe’s optional glass roofis an absolute necessity. The 5mm-thick,laminated glass panel is particularly nicefor backseat passengers, who won’t feel ascramped with an open sky above them, andcomes with a retractable sunshade.

Controls are generallysensible, but it would benice if Ford could decideon a standard location forthe three trip-computer but-tons, which appear in a newand unusual spot in everydifferent Ford vehicle.
Some of the better addi-tions to the 2011 model arethe dual-view side mirrorsthat eliminate blind spots.They take some gettingused to—and shouldn’treplace shoulder checks—but are very helpful.
Storage is a mixed bag.The trunk is large and use-ful, with a wide cutout thatwill easily swallow a golfbag, but the coupe’s pass-through space behind the50/50 split-folding seatbackis small. Inside, the storagebin between the front seatsis oddly shaped and trou-blesome to open, while theglove box and door pocketsare very small.
FeaturesStarting at $23,399 for
the coupe and $28,415 forthe convertible, the 2011Mustang is available in
base, V6 Pony Package,and GT trim levels, alongwith a variety of optionpackages.
Standard equipmentincludes ABS, stabilitycontrol, traction control,air conditioning, cruisecontrol, power windows,remote keyless entry,power-adjustable driver’sseat, tilt steering, foglamps, four-speaker CDstereo, compass, tire-pres-sure monitoring system,and front/side airbags.
Fuel efficiency is ratedat 10.7L/100km in the cityand 6.4L/100km on thehighway for the V6 coupewith automatic transmis-sion, and 11.8L/100kmand 7.8L/100km for the V8with automatic.
Thumbs upImpressive power gains;
sharp handling; excellentconvertible and glass roofs.
Thumbs downTough competition from
Dodge and Chevy; cheapinterior materials.
The bottom lineStill one of the most
interesting vehicles on theroad.
CompetitorsChevrolet Camaro
The Camaro sells for$26,995 with a 3.6L V6producing 304-hp and 273lb-ft of torque, or a 6.2LV8 tuned for either 400-hpand 410 lb-ft of torque or426-hp and 420 lb-ft oftorque.
There’s no doubt thatthe Camaro is cool, but theMustang is a much bettercar for daily usage, andbests the Chevy with itsconvertible and glass roofs.Dodge Challenger
Starting at $25,995, theChallenger is equippedwith a 3.5L V6 producing250-hp and 250 lb-ft oftorque, a 5.7L HEMI V8with 372-hp and 400 lb-ftof torque, or a 6.1L V8with 425-hp and 420 lb-ftof torque.
It’s no surprise that thepotent Challenger lacksfuel efficiency, but it is sur-prising that such a huge carcould have such a poorly
designed trunk, with asmall opening that severelylimits what you can fitinto it. Again, the Mustangcomes out as a much easiercar to live with.Mitsubishi Eclipse
The $24,498 Eclipse and$30,498 Eclipse Spydercome with a 2.4L inline-four producing 162-hp and162 lb-ft of torque, or a3.8L V6 with 265-hp and262 lb-ft of torque.
While the Eclipse isn’toften mentioned along withthe Camaro and Challenger,it’s the only Mustang com-petitor available with a con-vertible roof.

Travel
“Don’t take your kid to Vegas,” was theadvice spitting from the mouths of many ashocked and, perhaps, super-sensitive parenton learning of my travel plans.
“Don’t take your wife to Vegas,” was theadvice venting from the gob-smacked jaws ofmy many Vegas-veteran male friends.
So it was, armed with wife, Tracy, on oneside and son, Ben, 8, on the other, that I dulyignored all aforementioned “advice” andboldly jetted into the Sin City where no fam-ily — according to almost everyone on Earth(Lower Mainland) — has ever been before.
Yes — casinos, dancing girls, 24-hourparty people et al is not conducive to a“family environment” and some of the hotelchains are now trying to deny ever havingcontemplated attracting families to the partycapital of the world.
But as our taxi from the airport pickedits way through the Strip’s heavy traffic toour hotel, I wondered how that roller coasterlanded at the New York New York hotel?;‘why was there an M&M megastore slapbang on main drag?’; and ‘why was there afairytale medieval castle twinkling brightly?’
I was also warned about the possibilityof my kid being handed or picking up oneof those call-girl cards that offer a variety of“services” and are dished out all along theStrip.
However, the people handing out the cardswere very mindful and respectful of familiesand shied away from giving me a card whenthey spotted I was with my wife and child.
And I tell you — coming from the UK,where the average family vacation is a pack-age trip to a Spanish resort — I have wit-nessed scenes at the airport, on the plane andby the hotel swimming pool that make Vegasand its infamous “wild Strip behaviour” looklike Sunday school picnic.
My only word of caution, if you can call itthat, would be to try to get back to your hotelby around midnight, as that’s when thingsstart to ramp up a little on the Strip and“well-oiled” party-animal types start fallingoff six-inch-high curbs.
Indeed, there are no end of things forfamilies to do and see in Vegas by day andevening and I would not put people off tak-ing their kids to the Sin City for a few days,provided you’re not overly sensitive andintend raising your children in a sterilizedair-tight bubble.
If the eye-popping razzle dazzle of theStrip’s bright lights and the continualding-ding-ding from the casinos gets a
little too much for your swelling brain aftera couple of days, there are a fair number ofdiversions “off-Strip” and even out of Vegasitself.
Not least of which, is one of the sevennatural wonders of the world — the GrandCanyon.
Admittedly, it’s a ten-hour round bus trip,which snakes south and far away from Vegas
and eventually across the Nevada state lineinto Arizona.
But if you get the right tour company,like we did, you should have a comfortable,air-conditioned journey, filled with anticipa-tion and excitement en route and naptime onreturn. And a day out of your life is a smallprice to pay to witness with your own eyesthe sheer scale and yawning magnificence of
the Canyon.Such was the length of the journey, how-
ever, we had to get up at 6 a.m. — no smallfeat in a city that simply does not sleep — tocatch the tour-provided shuttle to the compa-ny’s departure point on the Strip.
Our eyes were just beginning to adjust tothe light of day when we made our first stop— Hoover Dam — a mere hour into the roadtrip.
It’s an incredible structure, as is the newbridge being built across the Colorado Rivercanyon to alleviate traffic off the dam, andour quick stop afforded everyone some greatholiday snap opportunities.
Four hours and a lunch stop at the GrandCanyon Railway café later, our bus wasfinally winding its way through the tree lineof the Grand Canyon National Park and edg-ing ever closer to our destination.
Even when we parked up in the SouthRim’s parking lot, though, we could still notsee the Canyon for the trees. After all, theCanyon pretty much goes down, not up.
A few moments later, while walking alongthe slightly inclining path that sucks youtowards the Canyon, the gaps between thetrees grew larger.
I admit, my heart quickened a beat orthree as I got my first unconfirmed and par-tially obscured sighting of one of the won-ders of the world as I tried to mentally pullthe trees apart.
Two more strides … then three … thenfour … then, there it was, in all its glory— one of our planet’s most mammoth natu-ral creations, which can be seen from outerspace.
As I stood on the teetering, crumblingedge and gawped and stared in disbelief overand across the desert abyss that is the GrandCanyon’s South Rim, producing a sentenceand coherent thoughts became an issue.
Indeed, few words — at the time andeven now — can do justice to the sights thatI tried to soak in and process with my tinymind during the two hours we had strollingup and down the various picture perfect spotson the rim, each one more spectacular andbreathtaking than the last.
So, if you haven’t been, I’m afraid I can’thelp you out further.
You just have to go see yourself. What Iwill say is that, if you do go, arrange to bethere at sunrise or sunset when the Canyon issaid to be at its soul-searching best.

TravelGolf: Royal Links tees up a Vegas dream come true
If you still have the energy— after a two-day Vegas brainbattering and an exhausting day-
long mission to see a world wonder— Sin City does, in fact, have someof the country’s top golf courses.
One of them is a rather coolvenue called Royal Links, an 18-hole life-size tribute to the signa-ture holes from every British Openvenue.
At the beginning of each hole,there’s a plaque reliving the mostmemorable moment on that holein the context of the Open, whichreally does help transport you, to acertain extent, back to that particu-lar point in sporting history.
In true Vegas style, they’ve evendrafted in their own wispy seasidesand dune-type grass, as well hav-ing a giant ten-foot replica of theOpen’s famous claret jug trophygreeting you in the driveway.
The fairways and greens were inmagnificent condition consideringthe blistering 100-plus dry desertheat.
There are a few holes on thecourse that even avid golfers maynever have heard of from Open his-tory, such as Prestwick’s 2nd holeand Royal Cinque Port’s 6th.
But there are more than enoughof the game’s most famous land-marks to make you believe you’re
actually there — minus the palmtrees and throw in a howling gale ofcourse. My favourite, and no doubtmost people’s, was St. Andrew’sfamous 17th, the “Road Hole.”
No hotel shed to powerfade your drive over, buttempting obstacles aboundincluding plenty of fake sanddunes, the signature stonedyke wall, road (obviously)and a British Open-stylescoreboard.
I’m proud to say I launchedtwo drives from the back teeover the scoreboard and into
the middle of the fairway, beforetwice bouncing the ball (uninten-tionally) off the wall and to within20 feet of the flag.
And coming from Troon,
Scotland — which hosts the BritishOpen every eight years or so— being able to play several holesfrom Royal Troon was an abso-lute thrill. Not least the course’s
renowned Postage Stamp, aprize button of a par three,known for its small green anddeep pot-hole bunkers.
Again, take away the palmtrees and the scarred desertlandscape, this was the PostageStamp for sure and I could eas-ily have been standing a mileor so from “home” and freez-ing my a** off to boot.
Although I fired a wedge into12 feet, I was advised by the beergirl to throw a ball into one of thepothole bunkers, just for the experi-ence.
Six downwards steps later andhaving to jump up a little to evensee the flag, I took two almightyswipes to have the ball clear the lipand almost broke my wrists.
Other highlights of the courseinclude St. Andrews opening andclosing holes, complete with a fauxSwilken Bridge.
Also, one of Royal Links’ sell-ing points is their “par mate” pro-gram, where you can, if that is yourthing, book at around $200 a pop,one of 20 models shown on theirwebsite to be your caddy/hostessfor the day.
And inside the “castle” club-house you’ll find a cozy bar/loungefilled with an Aladdin’s Cave ofBritish Open and golf memorabilia.

When Dr. Susan Scott’sthree-year-old son diedof cancer, she became
overcome with grief, lived ontranquilizers and became a work-aholic.
“I never relaxed and I worriedabout everything,” said Scott,who at the time, in 1980, wasa stay-at-home mother and wasabout to enter graduate school atthe University of B.C.
She began seeking answers towhat life was all about and onwhat her life’s purpose was.
“One day, I heard about theInner Peace Movement and Idecided to attend one of their lec-tures,” said Scott, when the Newsreached her in Victoria.
“I learned not to deny what Iwas feeling and to show kindnessand consideration for myself andto trust myself and my intuition.”
Scott said she soon began toenjoy life again.
That self-discovery led Scottto become an educator and aninternational lecturer for the InnerPeace Movement — a nonprofitorganization that offers talksand workshops to help peoplefind fulfillment and happiness ineverything they do.
Scott is coming to Richmondon Tuesday, Aug. 10 to give a lec-ture titled, Trusting Ourselves andOur Intuition.
“I found my purpose in lifeand instead of going back to uni-versity, I felt my calling was inhelping others discover how tofeel better about themselves andlife,” she said.
Scott said that over the years,our parents and others teach us toput everybody else ahead of our-selves; that it is selfish to care foroneself first.
“It’s not selfish to take careof you first, it’s actually selfrespect,” said Scott.
“The selfish person neverthinks about anyone else, but theperson with self respect says, ‘ifI take care of myself first, then Ican help you.’
“We need to have kindness andconsideration for ourselves firstbefore we can have it for others.”
Scott, who used to live inVancouver and now resides inMontreal, said she likens this tohow on airplanes, flight atten-dants tell you that if the oxygenmasks come down, put your ownon first and then help othersaround you.
“It’s the same concept,” sheadded.
During her lecture, Scott willalso teach the audience how tofind their aura — that energyfield that surrounds every livingthing in the universe.
“There are techniquesto help people see theiraura and that of others,”she said.
However, Scottis quick to point outthat the Inner PeaceMovement is not a reli-gion, nor a science, butan educational organiza-tion that aims to helppeople connect withtheir hunches, feelingsand even communicatewith their guardianangels.
“I talk about guard-ian angels, or as othercultures call them, spiritguides, helpers or mas-ters,” said Scott.
“Everybody has one… we bring them withus when we are born andthroughout our lives, ifwe listen, they will helpus with every day deci-
sions.“They are our source of help if
we learn to relax and listen to thatlittle voice.”
What does she say to thosenaysayers, those who debunk thevery notion of guardian angels?
“I’m not here to prove any-thing, all I do is sharemy own experiences,”said Scott.
“For those open tospirituality, I guide themand provide the toolsand techniques to findanswers for themselves.”
Scott has been lectur-ing for more than threedecades and has beeninterviewed on televi-sion, radio stations aswell as all the majornewspapers all overthe world, including inCanada — the TorontoStar, Montreal Gazette,Vancouver Sun andCalgary Herald.
When asked whoher audience is, Scottsaid the ages of the par-ticipants are as varied asthe reasons why peoplecome.
“Sometimes, peoplecome out of curiosity
or they are bored and want morepurpose in their lives or theyhave suffered a traumatic experi-ence and want to find happinessagain,” Scott added.
In the end, said Scott, weall have within us the power ofwisdom; we just need to trust inourselves and allow ourselves tobelieve in our own unique intu-ition.
“What I do is teach peoplehow to trust themselves and rec-ognize that we are only good toothers if we are good to ourselvesfirst,” said Scott.
Often, we are our own worstenemy; we think too much, wedoubt ourselves, rather than goingwith our intuition or gut feeling.
Meanwhile, there will betime set aside for a question andanswer period.
“Typically, the session lastsabout an hour and a half, so thereis time for me to answer ques-tions from the audience,” addedScott.
Catch Scott as she speakson Trusting Ourselves and ourIntuition on Aug. 10 at 1 p.m. andagain at 7:30 p.m. at the HolidayInn Vancouver Airport Hotel,10720 Cambie Rd.
The lectures are open to thepublic. Admission is $16.

Dr. Sharon Scott reveals how to trust ourselves and our intuition through Inner PeaceBY MICHELLE [email protected]
The four spiritualgifts
Everybody is born withfour spiritual gifts anddepending on our personali-ties, we use them in differentorders.
1 — Clear Hearing or intu-ition or psychic gift.
Your first thought is theright one. Trust your firstimpression.
2 — Healing or clear sens-ing and feeling.
This is when you have agut feeling about something.It might not be logical but if itfeels right, do it.
3 — Clairvoyance or visionor clear knowing. Some peo-ple see pictures in their minds.They think and see what theyare supposed to be doingbefore it happens.
4 — Prophecy or the gift ofknowing. You just know it sotrust it; don’t doubt it. It’s thathunch or premonition that youhave, trust it.

Meanwhile Richmond’s Curtis Chan entered yesterday’sthird round tied for second in the Juvenile Division aftercarding a 75 Wednesday. He opened with a 71. The MarineDrive member trails Bateman by seven shots and stands13th overall in the tournament.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections August 8 - 14★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: The main accentfalls on romance, creative urges, speculative risks,charming children, beauty and pleasure. You’reon a winning streak, especially Sunday night toTuesday, so enjoy, take advantage! Chase money,earnings, new clients and shopping bargainsTuesday eve, Wednesday. (But take care Thursday:don’t buy technology.) Relationships face someupheaval, disagreement Monday (when a deep riftis possible) and Thursday, but exciting agreement,attraction Friday/Saturday. You still face a “longclimb” in partnerships, opportunities, relocation, buta potentially successful one!
Taurus April 20-May 20: Seek quiet, rest, coolshade. Your home, family, roots, security, nutrition,gardening, property, soul – these offer good luck allweek, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. However,these three days might also bring a split betweenyou and another – unspoken, perhaps, but sensed.This probably involves work, employment and a legal,ethical or travel situation. (A wee echo of thisThursday,also.) Your creative, romantic side surfaces mid-week– all’s fine here, though you might experience littlemore than a “sweet notion.” Tackle chores – safelyThursday, wholeheartedly Friday/Saturday.
Gemini May 21-June 20: Read, write, travel, call,connect with siblings – luck here Sunday/Monday!The last two weeks brought some confrontations,splits, or problems – or simply a definite change indirection. That’s largely over, but a subtle alienationfrom a loved one (or in a new romance) could occurearly this week – and a not-so subtle rift Thursday.Best idea: if you want to chase romance, wait untilat least Thursday 9 p.m. (PDT) onward. The entiretwo years ahead demand slowness, steadiness andloyalty from you, if you wish to succeed in love. A bigage difference is possible. Rest, mid-week.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase money, especiallySunday eve to Tuesday. You can meet great luck,opportunity, these few days, and a problem. Thepredicament concerns your home and relationships;don’t let it go underground. (It might resurfaceThursday.) The rest of this week is smooth, easy,a respite from problems. Your home atmosphereis sweet and sour – temper and affection mingle.This might occur because you feel secure, yet yourambitions seem thwarted. To succeed, be ambitiousabout security, real estate, food, cafes or similararenas. (However, stop short of starting any brandnew projects.)
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The problems of the last twoweeks ebb now. However, two remain: the lesserinvolves communications/travel and health/work(mostly Monday). E.g., your car breaks down so youmiss work.The larger dilemma (all week) also involvescommunication/travel,but“pulls in” legal, educational,publishing or international factors.You’ll have to decidebetween facts and ideas, casual communications orprofound issues, near/small or far/large. For instance,do you make a verbal agreement or sign a contract?Love or acquaintanceship? You shine Sunday night toTuesday! Chase money mid-week.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoingprojects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slow-down starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/Monday could solidify a source of income,and/or bringa durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” thathelps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, ifyou allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer youaway from duties or practical goals. Contemplate thedifferent paths of earnings versus investments. Youmight make a choice between these now to mid-2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s goodFriday/Saturday. A good week!
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Wishes can come true!Popularity, optimism, social delights, flirtations visityou! (They did the last two weeks, too, but might havebeen obscured by other problems.) Your sexual andromantic magnetism rise another notch. This mingleswith a curious prudence on your part. Net result: youmight have to decide whether to continue charmingsomeone or to subtly retreat, around Monday.Similarly, you might, over the nine days ahead, facethe difference between someone else’s friendlinessand your own caution. There’s no harm (and muchluck) in joining, bonding. Rest mid-week.
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious, especiallySunday to Tuesday – but start no new projects. Workto complete, to give ongoing projects a new heave,to mend “prestige fences” with valuable people.Be light, humorous – the problems of the past fewweeks are fading. But don’t expect co-operation:others wish you well, especially mid-week, but theywon’t further your cause. Avoid gossip (and being itsvictim) Monday. Think about a long-term trend (nowto mid-2011): your hands-on work is expanding, butyour management duties are growing heavier. Whichto favour? The hands-on. Rest, Friday.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your natural Augustmood – mellow, broad-minded, yearning for travelor culture – returns nicely, especially Sunday eveto Tuesday. An opportunity could arise to travel afar,attend a college (etc.) or disseminate your ideas– seize it! But be aware of one problem (now tomid-2011): it involves a choice between (or inabilityto merge) your future goals, your cherished wishes,your social life on the one hand, and your creative,speculative, pleasure or romantic urges on the other.E.g., should you choose friends or romance? Save foryour future, or just have fun? You’ll be happy Friday/Saturday!
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Mysteries abound,especially Sunday to Tuesday – find out why recentcareer and domestic events or pressures occurred.The answer could be lucrative! Taking a forwardstance, step, could give your ambitions a boost,Tuesday or Thursday eve to Saturday. A congenial,powerful female might play a favourable role. (Thereis also a temperamental, probably male, higher-up,who still needs a diplomatic approach.) Caution wasa good idea the last two weeks, but too much nowcan impede you. Mid-week’s mellow, loving. All week,examine “big finances” – but complete, don’t start.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships assumeprime importance, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday(when a new link might form). You can fight or co-operate; realize that the other person/side holds theaces, the power. In legal, intellectual, international, fartravel, educational and cultural zones, your secrets(or some other thing which you’d rather remainhidden: desires, fears, etc.) can be your weak spot,particularly Tuesday and Thursday. The cure for this(and many things!) is honesty. You will face the needsoon to choose between a profound and a morecasual relationship. The casual’s luckier.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Much work awaits– plunge in and get it done, especially Sunday eveto Tuesday. You might be very hopeful about aninvestment or monetary action, but study underlyingtrends and forces before you leap – for instance,does the economic climate of your nation or localeflow in the same direction as your idea? Maybe. In thesemi-big picture (now to mid-2011) chasing earningsis luckier than relying on investments or otherpeople’s money. Anyway, serious decisions called for.Relationships lure you mid-week. Mysteries, secrets,sexual desires make Friday/Saturday interesting!
