The City of Burnaby is assessing the envi-ronmental damage to a portion of a StoneyCreek tributary undergoing rehabilitationwork after a rainstorm last week.James Lota, an assistant engineering di-

rector with the City of Burnaby, said citycrews are currently assessing the impactfrom sediment on the fish habitat along

a salmon-bearing stream near Ash GroveCrescent in the Forest Grove area. He indi-cated an assessment report could be readyby next week.The city had contractors working in the

area to reline a culvert, but heavy rains lastFriday appeared to cause erosion in theconstruction area, filling the stream withsediment.It was the heavy rains really that caused

it all; it was the rain event after weeks and

weeks of dry (conditions), Lota told theNOW onWednesday.He explained the contractor had by-

pass pumps on site that wereworking the night before andinto Friday, but then theyfailed. Now the city is tryingto figure out the root cause ofthe pumps failures.Lota noted city officials

were out at the site the nextday to start assessing the dam-age to fish in the stream.Besides the sediment issue, the heavy

rains also washed out a section along Kind-

er Morgans pipeline on GaglardiWay, leav-ing it exposed.The two incidents, which are related to

the Stoney Creek rehabilita-tion project, had local stream-keepers warning about thedamage from the work.John Preissl, a local volun-

teer streamkeeper, has beenkeeping an eye on the projectand questioned the timing of

work on the Burnaby Moun-tain slope in the rainy season.Theyre in trouble here, he said. This

The time has come for anew art gallery in Burnaby.That was at least the over-

whelming sentimentTues-day night at a public forumheld to discuss the topic.Dozens of residents and

local artists turned out tothe forumTuesday night atthe Shadbolt Centre to offertheir opinions on the pos-sibility of a new art gallery,and it was near unanimousin the crowd that the cityneeds a new art gallery.The forum was sponsored

by the BurnabyArts Coun-cil as part of a new effort togauge support for a new gal-lery in hopes of finally secur-ing a facility.A number of people spoke

up to offer their thoughtsand support, including localartist Maria Anna Parolin,who argued that as the citygrows, the community needsto create a cultural centre toshowcase the talented peoplehere and to attract peoplefrom abroad.She noted cities like Rich-

mond and NorthVancou-ver have sizable art galleries,as does Abbotsford, which

recently opened a new20,000-square-foot gallery.A presentation by the arts

council noted the currentgallery, located in CeperleyHouse at Deer Lake, is only1,700 square feet and canthold the citys vast art col-lection of more than 5,000pieces.We have these works we

can show everyone, Paro-lin said.Resident Darcy Olson

told the forum a new galleryis long overdue and suggest-ed the new gallery shouldencourage the evolution ofart, adding the space shouldbe flexible.

We have to serve thewhole community, he said.The arts council has ex-

pressed the view that thecurrent gallery has long out-grown the building and haslimitations in a communitythat continues to keep grow-ing.Arts council member Da-

vid Handelman was pleasedby the turnout and supportfor a new gallery, and be-lieves the message was sentto city council.Theres never going to

be a better time than now,he said.Im convinced the pub-

lic support is very, very real,

and I hope our city politi-cians feel the same way.However, Handelman also

acknowledged that goingforward, the idea of a newgallery will need help like-ly from the city for it to be-come a reality.He said the next step is to

develop a strategic and busi-ness plan but pointed outthe arts council doesnt havethe funds or expertise to doso.Handelman is hoping the

city will come to the tableand offer resources to takethe idea to the next step.Coun.NickVolkow came

out to the forum to listenand afterwards said he un-derstands the passion com-ing from the arts communityon the issue.But he suggested in other

communities with larger gal-leries, support has also comeout of the corporate com-munity and from philan-thropists.I think theres another el-

ement that has to stick theirhead out of the foxhole andcome forward, he told theNOW.Volkow also said while

Whereareallthebearscomingfrom?JeremyDeutschjdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Burnaby isnt exactlyknown as a playground forbears like its neighbours tothe east and north, but sight-ings of the wild animal ap-pear to be on the rise.James Kelly, a conserva-

tion officer, noted the con-servation service has re-ceived a number of callsabout bears in the past cou-ple of years, with an increasecoming last year.Last year weve start-

ed seeing more, he told theNOW. This year weve hada fair number in the Burna-by Lake (area) and a lot upon SFUmountain.Exactly howmany bear

sightings there have been inBurnaby is not clear. Kel-ly explained the conserva-tion service changed the sys-tem of recording sightingsrecently, adding the serviceshould have a better sense ofthe numbers next summer.So if the number of bruin

sightings is up, whats bring-ing them to the city?Kelly suggested there

could be a number of fac-tors, but accessibility to foodsources is the likely the cul-prit.And one communitys

success at keeping bears atbay could turn into anothersproblem.Kelly said communities

like Port Moody and Co-quitlam have offered bear-proof bins to residents andhave implemented bear edu-cation programs.Burnaby does not have

any such garbage programs

in place.If the food isnt accessi-

ble there, the bear is going togo where the food is accessi-ble,Kelly said.The conservation offi-

cer noted some of the in-creased calls could also berelated to a sow who recent-ly kicked her cubs out, add-ing a couple of teenage bearsare bound to cause a few ex-tra calls.

Coun.NickVolkow saidhe was unaware the num-ber of calls about bear sight-ings was on the rise, suggest-ing the education programsin places like NorthVancou-ver and theTri-Cities maybe working to the citys det-riment. He said he would bebringing the issue to bothengineering and parks staff.Our species is encroach-

ing on every other spe-cies, theyve got to go some-where, he said.The citys website does of-

fer a reminder to residentswhen it comes to garbageand wildlife, including bears.To minimize any inter-

action with wildlife, particu-larly bears, it is important tomanage any potential attrac-tants on your property, thewebsite states.Other tips on the website

include:! Keep your collectioncontainers for garbage, re-cycling and yard waste/foodscraps stored in a secure lo-cation until your collectionday.! Ensure all blue box ma-terials are rinsed thoroughly.! Place all food scraps intoyour green bin, as they arecollected first.

In several years time,the Gilmore station areain Burnaby will be the hubof BrentwoodTown Cen-tre with shops, cafs and aplethora of office workers.Thats at least the citys

concept for the future of thelarge piece of land in thegrowing neighbourhood.The Gilmore Station

Conceptual Master Plan forthe BrentwoodTown Cen-tre is a grand document thatsets out the future for thesite as the area continues tobe developed.OnTuesday, the prelim-

inary concepts and visionfor the plan were presentedto the citys planning com-mittee.The Gilmore station site

is 12.48 acres in size and ismade up of six individualparcels three of the prop-erties are vacant with a por-tion of these sites occupiedby the Gilmore SkyTrainstation and guideway.According to a staff re-

port, the preliminary con-cept plan for the Gilmorestation area is comprised offive different communityprecincts, each with a dis-tinct and unique architec-tural and landscape expres-sion.The plan describes the

Gilmore station area as theprimary western gatewayinto the BrentwoodTownCentre and will become ahub of activity with a varietyof open-air shopping experi-ences, cafs and restaurants,office space, and high-densi-ty residential opportunities,all designed around newpublic plazas, open spac-es, and tree-lined pedestrian

streets.These changes will help

create a new, high-quality,integrated neighbourhoodin Burnaby that will be aseamless extension of exist-ing surrounding neighbour-hoods, the report noted.Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, a

member of the planningcommittee, suggested theproposals in the plan willcomplement whats happen-ing in the BrentwoodTownCentre development.I think this is a very ex-

citing proposal master planthats come forward, hetold theNOW, noting theaggressive timeline to com-plete the plan within 15years.The plan also includes

a commitment of 500,000square feet of office floorspace with the potential forup to one million squarefeet accommodating rough-ly 5,000 office jobs.This is a great place for

what I see as a huge advan-tage for office space,Dhali-wal said.

This is a great oppor-tunity to bring growth andeconomic prosperity to thecity.The councillor also not-

ed the site will belong to thecitizens of Burnaby and notthe strata of the develop-ment, adding the city want-ed to make sure there wasaccess to the Gilmore sta-tion from all corners of thedevelopment.The report noted the op-

portunity provided by theredevelopment of the Gilm-ore station area is to trans-form the site into an activityhub centred on the GilmoreSkyTrain Station.The most significant

goal of the Gilmore stationareas redevelopment is theachievement of a truly tran-sit integrated developmentwhere residential, office, re-tail and open space uses areconnected directly to theSkyTrain station, the re-port stated.The city is planning an

open house later this monthto get feedback.

SmallgesturessendabigmessageIf youre driving along

16th Avenue any time thisweekend, be sure to keepyour eyes open for the sea ofred and white on the lawnat the George Derby Cen-tre.As the photos on the

front and page 16 of to-days edition show, studentsfromArmstrong Elemen-tary and Cariboo Hill Sec-ondary joined residents ofthe centre in placing Ca-nadian flags on the site onThursday.

The annual field of flags,held in conjunction withRemembrance Day, is afundraiser for the centre. Inreturn for a donation, visi-tors can receive a small Ca-nadian flag to place on thelawn in honour of Canadasveterans.Its heartwarming to see

that, every year, the youngpeople involved in the proj-ect respond with enthusi-asm and so does the cityat large.There are 5,000flags ready to go this year

to help raise money for thecentre, which provides ahome for 300 seniors two-thirds of whom are veteransfrom the SecondWorldWarand the KoreanWar.The money it raises is just

part of the reason why theannual event is such a posi-tive one.The larger reasonis the message it sends.Thatlawn full of flags proclaimsloudly and clearly that to-day, 70 years after the endof the SecondWorldWar,we still remember and still

pay tribute to our veterans.We can also send that

same message by the simpleact of wearing a poppy onour lapel.Poppies are by now so

ubiquitous at Remem-brance Day that its easy tooverlook the importance ofthe symbol.Making a donation in ex-

change for a poppy can pro-vide very real practical helpfor veterans in need: theRoyal Canadian Legionspoppy fund is used to helpveterans in many practicalways (see story page 20).But, just like those small

Canadian flags, the moreimportant part of poppywearing is the message it

sends.For more than 90 years,

the poppy has been a sym-bol of honour and ultimatesacrifice inspired by Lt.-Col. JohnMcCraes famedpoem In Flanders Fields.Wearing one is a visible

display of respect for ourveterans and a silent pledgethat we will not allow theirsacrifices to be forgotten.So take a moment to re-

member. Place a flag.Weara poppy.We will not forget.

Take what you can get

AmixedbagforsmallbizWhat does last months

election result mean forsmall business? Like withmost new governments, itsa mixed bag there is thegood, the bad and the wor-rying.Lets start with the good.

PrimeMinister JustinTrudeau has committed toreduce the small businesstax rate from its current 11per cent to nine per centby 2019.This is unequiv-ocal good news for busi-ness owners who consistent-ly cite tax loads as amongtheir biggest challenges.Areduction in taxes will allowfor additional investmentin new equipment and em-ployee training.More good news comes in

the form of a commitment toreduce Employment Insur-ance contributions in 2017from an expected $1.88 foremployees and $2.63 for em-ployers to an estimated $1.65and $2.31.With respect to labour

shortages, there are sever-al commitments small busi-ness owners will like, in-cluding providing an EIpremium holiday for hiringyouth a nice incentive tohire young people and in-vest in their training. Specif-ically, the new governmenthas committed to waiv-ing EI contributions for 12months for any employerwho hires someone betweenthe ages of 18 and 24 for afull-time position in 2016,2017 or 2018.The Chr-tien Liberals had a similarprogram in the 1990s thatwas very popular with smallbusiness.The idea of developing

more pathways toward citi-zenship for temporary for-eign workers who want tomake Canada their homewill, if done well, providesome relief to businesseswho are finding it extreme-ly challenging to find em-ployees.The least popular idea for

small business relates to in-creasing mandatory Cana-da Pension Plan taxes.TheLiberals have committedto gradually phase in anexpansion of the core CPP.The small business objec-tion, shared by the generalpublic in at least one poll, isthat a mandatory CPP in-crease is not the best way tohelp Canadians save for re-tirement. In fact, to pay theadditional mandatory taxes,many say they will have toreduce contributions to vol-untary plans like RRSPs orother forms of retirementsavings such as paying downa mortgage.The intention to run def-

icits is in the worryingcategory. Small business-es tend to be pretty prag-matic about the need fordeficits on occasion but arealso very mindful of the re-ality that, as SaskatchewanPremier BradWall oncequipped, Deficits are likepotato chips: Its hard to eatjust one.Whatever decisions are

made going forward good,bad or worrying the elec-torate knows exactly who tohold accountable four yearsfrom now.Laura Jones is executive

vice-president of the Canadi-an Federation of IndependentBusiness.

An open letter toMayor CorriganDear editorAnopen letter toBurnabyMayorDerekCorrigan:I amwriting to you todaywith housingon

mymind. As youare nodoubt aware,wenowhaveanew federal government here inCan-ada. So it is probably a good time to considerthehousingopportunities that are availableto youand the renters of Burnabywhoyourepresent. As youmay recall, PrimeMinisterTrudeau, in his platform, said that hewantedtohave anational actionplanonhousingthatwouldproduce affordable safe housingfor Canadians at all income levels. This is tobe financedout of his $20billionpledge topro-vide social infrastructure. Therefore, itwouldappear an ideal time for you to reconsider yourcurrent housing strategyhere.For amoment think, about the renters in

this townwho live in three- or four-storeybuildings,wondering if theirswill be thenextbuilding chosen for rezoning, demolition, andreconstructedas a luxury condodevelopment(a.k.a. demovictions). This gentrificationhasalwaysbeenawrongapproach for anNDPerlike yourself. I say this as a lifelongNDPermyself. Rather thanmake life easy for bigdevelopers to further enrich themselves here,youwoulddobetter to take a look at KennedyStewarts privatemembers bill M-547. It is agoodaffordable housingplan, it is a real NDPdocument. Notice hownewly electedBurnabySouthMPMr. Stewart affirms that access tosafe, adequate housing is a fundamental rightof all Canadians, as guaranteedby theUnitedNationsDeclarationofHumanRights. AndMr.Stewart goes on to recommend that this basichousing shouldnot compromise an indi-viduals basic needs, including food, clothing,health care andeducation.In somanywords,Mr. Stewart is saying

social housing. But somehowyoudont get it.Whydont youpick up thephoneandgive thenewprimeminister a call?Here inBurnabyweneed fairly pricedbasic housing asmuchasany city in Canada.For some reason, insteadof trying tohelp

lower-incomecitizenswith housingneeds,youpretend they arent here. Not everyonecanafford luxury condos. But insteadof youandyour elected groupusing your powerfulone-party council to enact standards ofmain-tenance legislation toprotect renters fromlandlordswhoallow their premises todete-riorate as theywait for a gigantic payday afterdemoviction, insteadof helping lower- andmoderate-income renters, youputBurnabyonthemapasoneof themost facile and compli-ant cities in the entire LowerMainland.Theproof is freely available inNewHomes

andRedTape, the Fraser Institute study thatcameout onAug. 25. Regarding regulatorycosts per newdwelling unit, it shows thatAbbotsford levied the lowest price todevelop-ers: only$14,357per dwelling unit. Followingin secondplace isMapleRidge,which charges$17,500per dwelling unit. Burnabywas closebehind in friendliness tobig developers, charg-ingonly $17,542per dwelling unit. However,dollar for dollar andunit for unit, theCity ofBurnaby allows thedeveloper tomake farmoremoney than theother two cities, owingto the valueof real estate here.Soperhaps it is time for you tobegin

governing like the goodNDPer I still want tobelieve youare. Its up to you. But sooner thanlater a newpolitical group is going to rise upin this townand challenge youand theBCAwhere youaremost vulnerable, on your leftflank. Please takemyadvice.Ric Erb, co-chair A.C.O.R.N.Burnaby

The time change and ear-ly sunsets dont just signalthe looming winter months,they can make the roadsaroundMetroVancouverand Burnaby deadly for pe-destrians.Its no secret the number

of pedestrian-related crashesspikes through November,December and January.

SoTuesday, BurnabyMounties and communi-ty volunteers in partner-ship with ICBC were out inforce for a pedestrian safe-ty blitz, including hand-ing out yellow safety reflec-tors to SkyTrain users at theLougheed station in an ef-fort to get the message out.RCMP Cpl. Danie-

la Panesar said the event

was a way for police to raiseawareness about pedestriansafety as the winter monthsapproach, adding it getsdarker and harder for driv-ers to see people walking onthe roads.Drivers have to be more

aware, and pedestrians haveto be more safe about it,she told theNOW.Unfortunately accidents

happen, at least were do-ing our part to keep peoplesafe.Also unfortunate for pe-

destrians are the stats relat-ed to crashes.According to numbers

from ICBC, there are on av-erage 150 crashes involvingpedestrians in Burnaby eachyear based on stats between2009 and 2013.In B.C., 75 per cent of

crashes involving pedestri-ans happen at intersections,while almost one in fivepeople killed in car crashesare pedestrians.The intersections around

the Lougheed station werechosen for the safety eventbecause they are some ofthe hot spots for pedestrian-related crashes in the city.

Burnaby RCMPChiefSupt. Dave Critchley wasalso on hand to give out re-flectors to the public, notingthat people continue to bedistracted behind the wheel.This (the yellow reflec-

tor) is important, you mightget that one glimpse, or youmight see a pedestrian andif this helps save a single lifeor an injury, its all worthit, he said.

there is agreement that anew art gallery is needed,there is no consensus in thecommunity on issues likethe location.Theres a lot of work still

to be done, he said. Iveheard a good message hereand Ill be taking it back tocouncil.The issue of a new gallery

has been going on since the

early 1970s, when a new artgallery was a priority andplans were made up.In 1987, a proposed art

gallery and performing artstheatre in civic square werepart of the original plans be-side the Bob Prittie library.Then in 1998, there was an-other plan for an art galleryexpansion, and a feasibilitystudy was completed, alongwith public support.

mess.Preissl suggested if heavy

rains hit again Friday (to-day), the city wont have thestaff to deal with the fallout.However, Lota said any

further rainfall shouldnt bean issue.He said the slope is sta-

bilized and Kinder Morgancrews are off the mountain,while work on the culvertrehab is finishing up.Lota pointed out that

backup pumps are in placeand once the grouting iscomplete, the risk of anoth-er situation is a non-issue.As for why the city decid-

ed to carry out the work atthis time of year, Lota saidthe municipality tried to getthe project finished earlier,but crews were busy withother projects.The culvert was in bad

shape, which was compro-mising the slope stability,which is why the urgencyfor the project to happen assoon as possible, he said.

The Burnaby school dis-trict is piloting a home-grown online tool to trackthe behaviour of studentson the autism spectrum.Designed to help teachers

decide whats working forthe students and whats not,the programmakes gather-ing and analyzing informa-tion about student behav-iour easier.Were already doing an

amazing job of collecting alot of behaviour data on stu-dents daily and weekly, butwhats happening is its sit-ting in binders and its sit-ting in notebooks,NadineTrottier, the districts behav-iour analyst behind the proj-ect, told the school boardrecently.Even when educators get

the information into graphsand reports,Trottier said,it usually isnt until the endof a week, two weeks or amonth.Really when they take

that picture and theyre

making their data-based de-cisions, it can be based ondata thats actually a weekold, two weeks old, a monthold, she said.Enter Behaviour Profiles

an online system to storeand graph student behav-iour data.Taking a little time at the

end of each day,Trottiersaid, teachers and educa-tion assistants can now logon to the district website,

open a students accountand record the informa-tion they want to track, likehow many times the studentkicked or punched some-one during the day or howlong the problem behaviourlasted.Using a graphing tab, all

the latest information canthen be plotted instantly on

a variety of graphs to showtrends and patterns.The feedback were get-

ting is really positive, saidTrottier, who worked withprogrammers Costa De-degikas and Kostas Poulaki-das at the SFUNewMedialab for two years to devel-op the program.People arefinding that its a lot moreuser-friendly.Theres de-creased time spent enteringthe data, graphing the data.The instant graphs, theysaid, have been wonderful togo into teammeetings andbe able to show informationthats from the day beforeand even the day of.The district started pilot-

ing the program, which costabout $10,800 to develop,on the first day of school,and there are now 16 stu-dents from five schools onthe system.Others are lining up to

get on board, butTrotti-er said the Behaviour Pro-files team is still working outsome bugs in the system.

Before Brentwood mallmoved in, before hous-es sprouted up, before thestreets were even paved,the Brentwood neighbour-hood was a place of wood-lands and creeks, accordingto former resident Geral-dine Knibb.Its just unbelievable

what theyve done in thatarea, she says of the neigh-bourhood today, adding theSkyTrain is right where sheused to turn upAlpha Av-enue to get to her home.It seems like its up in theheavens.Nowadays, Knibb lives in

White Rock, where she re-tired with her husband. Butin 1946, her father gave herhusband an acre of propertyin the area betweenWilling-don andAlpha avenues,right where BrentwoodTown Centre is today. Backthen, there were only threehouses in the area betweenAlpha and Beta avenues,she says the red shackoriginally on her property,the house her husband built,and her sisters home near-

by. Otherwise, there was noone around, she says.It was all bush, she

adds.The shack was originally

owned by a FirstWorldWarveteran, a bachelor, whowilled it to her father, ac-cording to Knibb.In those days, there were

all kinds of old bachelorsliving in that area, she says,adding they all had an acreof land.In 1959, developers came

knocking. BrentwoodMallopened two years later.In those days, they

didnt tell you what theywere going to develop.They just knocked on ourdoor one night and said,We dont want your house,we just want your proper-ty, she says. We were ableto live in the house to 60.By this time, the bulldozerwas starting to come down,so we decided to move thehouse.The family had the house

loaded on a truck and trans-ported to Duthie Avenueand Broadway, she says.The red shack was movedto Spring Avenue and Hast-ings Street, and her sisters

home was moved to Grand-view Highway.Her husband was in-

volved in developing thearea. He worked as a car-penter building houses inWillingdon Heights, as wellas homes and apartmentbuildings inVancouver,Knibb says.Knibb first moved to

Burnaby with her parentswhen she was five. Bornover the border inWashing-ton, she first lived inVan-couver, and moved along-side Still Creek in 1929, shesays.

We had a little yellowhouse, a two-room house,and my mother and fa-ther and five children, shesays. Our little house wasright on the creek betweenWillingdonAvenue and theBurnaby Lake trestle.The children hauled

water from the creek onWillingdonAvenue up tothe house so their mothercould wash clothes, she says.We had quite a time

down on our creek, sheadds.But living beside a wa-

terway wasnt all fun and

games.I was there when we had

the flood.The creek flood-ed up, and it came up ashigh as the train tracks, andBurnaby Lake, and overas far as Douglas Road,Knibb says. In fact, therewas a Chinese gardenerwho lived over on Doug-las Road, and the peoplethat got off the BurnabyLake tram, he had to rowthe ones that lived down onGrandview Highway.The family had to move

after five years because thearea wasnt good for their

health, she says.I had a sister that died

at the age of 13, and a sis-ter that had a bad heart, andthe doctor said we had tomove,Knibb says. It wasdamp down there, it was allpeat moss.Burnaby planned to

dredge Still Creek at thetime, so they traded her fa-ther for an acre of land onDawson Street andWilling-donAvenue, according toKnibb.Today, the Keg and Cost-

co sit on the property herfamily owned on DawsonStreet, and a creek that di-vided the property is gone,she says.But its not just the homes

and waterways and woodsthat Knibb misses from herchildhood its the people,she says.I find it really sad be-

cause theres not one soul. I just love to talk aboutwhen we lived down on thecreek, and theres not onesoul living that I can laughand say, Remember thegood days, she says. No-bodys left.

The nose is extremely low, givingthe driver a better sense of theroad, even as the arches over thewheels make it easy to tell wherethe corners of the car are. 16alloys are standard on the basicGX model, with 17 seven-spokerims on the GS and GT models.

Environment:One of the more interesting detailsis the way the sheetmetal seems towrap around the doors, with bodycolour continuing into the cockpit of thecar. Its a neat tweak to the recipe, and setsoff the small cabin with a splash of colour.

Besides that small design tweak, the rest of the MX-5s interior is function rst. Weight has been savedalmost everywhere, with the result that the detachablecupholders are right where your elbow goes (youcan move one down to the passenger-side of thetransmission tunnel if youre ying solo).

Further minimalism can be found with the seats, whichexchange foam padding for a supportive web. The seatsdont have height adjustability, but are instead mountedon an inclined track shorter drivers will gain heightthe closer they sit to the steering wheel.

Its an elegant solution, and while the MX-5 hasoccasional ergonomic oddities (volume knob betweenthe seats, infotainment screen just stuck to the dash),its overall a nicely-executed effort. The small steeringwheel with its compact airbag feels light and lively,and the shifter is perfectly positioned. Never mind thecupholders, this things for driving.

Performance:When Mazda revealed a 2.0L four-cylinder powerplantfor their new car, many pundits raised their eyebrows.What, no forced induction? And it makes less power

than the outgoingmodel?

Nowmakingessentially thesame 155hp at6000rpm and148lb-ft of torqueat 4600rpm as theregular Mazda3,the MX-5s newengine requirespremium fueland is down10hp versus theprevious model.Not the kind ofthing to get agearheads pulseracing.

However, theresso much moregoing on here,

The car stays small,the fun stays big

its hard to know where to start.Every inch of this little car has hadthe impurities hammered out ofit; from chassis to suspensionto the rst electronic powerassisted steering that actuallyhas some feedback. Its theresult of an endless amount oftiny engineering tweaks, rangingfrom an obsession over the way

the manual shifter slots into gearto hanging microscopic weights on

the rear differential to get the rightharmonics out of the engine sound.

Its not about the power, its not about theseats, its not about the stereo, its not about theabsolute cornering grip. The MX-5 isnt dominated byone element instead, its the blend and balance ofeverything all at once.

Theres no sport button, you just go. Flop the top downwith a single arm motion, press it once to latch, then letout the clutch and scamper off the line with that littlefour-pot zzing away merrily. If you can drive this thingwith a straight face, youre doing it wrong.

Turn in is sharp, and body roll allows a sense of motionand speed. Speaking of which, the MX-5 is actuallyreally quite quick. Like the original car, its a momentummachine, losing little speed between the corners. Stringup a couple of apexes right, and its an absolute thrill.

And then theres the whole open-topped fall motoringaspect of it. In the MX-5 you smell the coffee roaster asyou pass, hear the dry leaves crackle under your wheels,see the clouds whipping by overhead. Sure, its got atrunk and a seat for a friend, but the MX-5 is still allabout the elemental experience of driving.

Features:While the dedication to light weight must be praised, itdbe nice to see an optional power folding hardtop backfor folks whod like to street-park their sprightly Mazdaroadster without worrying about security (maybeon the loaded GT models only). In terms of safetyfeatures, everything from blind-spot monitoring to lane-departure is here, and the navigation system is quickand easy to use.

As mentioned, premium is required with ofcial guresrating 6.9L/100kms on the highway for manual-equipped cars, and 8.8L/100kms in the city. Like mostcurrent Mazdas, ogging the little MX-5 doesnt seem tohurt real-world economy much.

Green Light:Great new look; still provides an elemental drive; verywell balanced; fun!

Stop Sign:No more optional hard-top; some wonky ergonomics; noMazdaspeed version any time soon

The Checkered Flag:The car stays small, the fun stays big.

Raf sang it best: everything grows. Higherbeltlines, swelling curb weight, ballooningfootprints; from the once-tiny Honda Civicto the Mini Cooper, every single car on theroad these days just keeps getting bigger andbigger with the exception of one.

After a quarter-century, the Mazda Miata (orMX-5, if you prefer) enters its fourth generation withone big surprise: its still small. The recipe remains thesame modest power, lightweight, rear-drive, open-topped and really, thats most of the shock. How,when everybody from BMW to Porsche seems to bemaking more and more complex vehicles, does Mazdamanage to keep it simple?

This newMX-5 is actually shorter than the original,and just a few kilos heavier. Howve they done that?Remember how tiny the original 1990 version was?You could have delivered them to the dealership in aTic-Tac box.

Theres no turbo. Theres no clever torque-vectoringdifferential. The cupholders are at-out terrible. Butits as wonderful as ever.

Design:Some of the MX-5s diminutive size is thanks to itscompact LED headlights. Mazdas best-selling roadsterstill has a face, but its much less cutesy than before,almost snake-like.

Or maybe make that cat-like as from some angles theMX-5 looks an awful lot like the Jaguar F-Type. Youcould do worse for a car to emulate, especially sincethe original Miata did such a good job at translatingBritish-style open topped motoring into Japanesedependability. That the mid-level GS is just over $35K about half the F-Types price doesnt hurt either.
