Lawyer Scott Bernstein is a Van-couverite in every possible way.

He lives in the city, pays munic-ipal taxes, is married to a Cana-dian and has decided to put downroots in this community.

The 46-year-old even worksclosely with various city depart-ments through his work with thePivot Legal Society.

But the Chicago native, like 14per cent of the city’s population,has absolutely no say in who runsthe city and how they do it.

That’s because Bernstein, a per-manent resident of Canada, mustwait at least three more yearsbefore he’s eligible for Canadiancitizenship and therefore isn’tafforded the right to vote.

“Why aren’t I able to have avoice about decisions that affectus day to day?” Bernstein asks.

He hopes that question will beput to a judge after filing a notice

of civil claim in B.C. SupremeCourt against the provincial gov-ernment, alleging that the Van-

couver Charter and School Actviolates his rights by grantingonly Canadian citizens the fran-chise in municipal elections.

“I can’t think of a really goodreason why there is the distinc-tion,” says Bernstein, adding thatnon-citizens have the right to votelocally in England, Australia andparts of the U.S.

“I haven’t dragged my feet (oncitizenship). Municipal electionsare completely different —they’re about city services andwater delivery, property taxes,libraries ... things that everyone inVancouver comes in contactwith.”

Any action taken will be far toolate for Saturday’s municipal elec-tion, but Bernstein hopes he’ll beable to cast a ballot in the nextelection in 2014.

An Occupy Vancouver pro-tester was arrested yester-day as police, fire officialsand city workers made theirrounds for a mass cleanupat the encampment.

Many of the occupiers re-mained peaceful and co-op-erative as city workershauled in tarps and severalunoccupied tents deemedunsafe into municipaltrucks. While the scene wasmostly calm, there werestill some upset campers. A

lone protester decided to sitin the middle of the inter-section of Georgia andHowe streets, police said.

VPD spokesperson Const.Lindsey Houghton said offi-cers were concerned for hispersonal safety and askedhim to leave several times,but he refused.

“He was arrested forbreach of peace out of con-cern that the might eitherhurt himself or cause a col-lision and was removedfrom the area,” Houghtonsaid in an email.

At the camp, Occupy’s se-curity committee accompa-

nied fire and city officials asthey made their way toeach tent to ensure theywere occupied, not coveredby tarps and appropriatelyspaced.

Occupier Yann Savard,who was filming the inspec-tion to prove their compli-ance, said he noticed theofficials were stricter thistime around and the groupis doing their best to com-ply with the fire and city’sdemands.

“Every thing is goingsmoothly, but they seem tobe rigid,” Savard said.“They’re actually taking the

tents that don’t respect therules.”

The move comes after aB.C. Supreme Court judgegranted the city an interimorder asking protesters tocomply with city fire bylawsand authorized police to ar-rest anyone who interferes.The City of Vancouver willreturn to court today, seek-ing an injunction to shutdown the encampment per-manently.

Meanwhile, Robert Red-ford was just around thecorner from the camp di-recting his film The Compa-ny You Keep.

Justin Peturson andMichael Freimark are join-ing three other men, whoclaimed they were draggedinto hidden areas at theHarbour Centre and beatenby guards from Fusion Se-curity.

Peturson said he wascoming home from his con-struction work on Nov. 15,2009, and was on his wayto a liquor store in HarbourCentre when he wasgrabbed by security andtold to leave the mall. Heclaimed in his lawsuit thathe complied, but enteredthe mall through adifferent entrance approxi-mately 10 minutes later.

“I was forcibly draggedinto a stairwell, handcuffedto the railing and abused atthat point,” Petursonclaimed.

He said he was kicked inthe thigh and wasn’t ableto walk for a week. He saidhe remained silent aboutthe incident because he felthumiliated until he readabout the three other cases.

The Non-Partisan Associa-tion and the Vision Vancou-ver/COPE coalition aren’tthe only options for Van-couverites.

Community-based or-ganizations and independ-ents are always present oncivic ballots, and the 2011municipal election in Van-couver features several un-derdog candidatesthreatening to bring high-rolling city hall back downto earth.

The biggest of thesegroups is Neighbourhoodsfor a Sustainable Vancouver(NSV), a grassroots advoca-cy organization that has re-cently transformed into apolitical party over its dis-pleasure with the lack ofcommunity engagement,rampant development andan allegiance to big-money

donors under both NPA andVision leadership.

It hasn’t been easy forthe lesser-known candi-dates to capture the publicand media’s gaze, but NSVmayoral candidate RandyHelten says it’s critical thatresidents pay attention tothis election in particular.

“When you look at (Vi-sion and NPA) campaign fi-nancing and policies oncritical issues such as af-fordability and land-use,they’re almost identical,”said Helten.

The next mayor andcouncil’s input on theMetro Vancouver RegionalGrowth Strategy will setVancouver down a definedpath for the next 30 years,Helten says.

NSV council candidateTerry Martin, the formerchair of the VancouverBoard of Variance, says de-velopers have too much in-fluence at city hall.

“I think the real drivingforce is people who are des-perate for change,” he said.“We’re seeing neighbour-hoods destroyed and spotrezoning completelychange places that should-n’t. And we’re seeing thepublic ignored.”

Pollster Barb Justasonsaid last week that a few ofthe smaller and independ-ent candidates have a legiti-mate shot at snagging a

council seat, especially pop-ular Green party candidateAdriane Carr.

Sandy Garossino, a for-mer Crown prosecutor wholed the successful “Vancou-

ver Not Vegas” coalitionagainst casino expansion atBC Place, also has a realchance to make waves asan independent candidate.

“We could end up with a

real array of parties. Namerecognition is a huge fac-tor,” Justason said.

“It may be difficult forVision to produce a majori-ty in council.”

Neighbourhoods for a Sustainable Vancouver candidates Terry Martin, for council, and

Randy Helton, for mayor, represent a growing segment that want to inject communities

back into Vancouver’s political scene.

Grassroots groups eyeing city hall

Once touted as apossible premier,Surrey MayorDianne Wattsremains one of theprovince’s mostpopular politicians.Known for her prag-matism and moder-ation, she is running

for a third term in arace that Surrey’s

main opposition par-ty declined to con-test.

On fightingdrug addic-

tion:I guess at

the endof theday

when you look at an indi-vidual that’s addicted —and I’ve talked to a lot ofindividuals that have gonethrough various programsand come out the otherside — I mostly hear, “Ineeded to get out of the en-vironment, I needed thesupport, I needed people tohelp me in a positive way.”I don’t hear, “I’m so gladthey gave me more drugs.”On government spending:If you look at where we arein the City of Surrey, we’vegot the lowest residentialtaxes in Metro Vancouverand the second-lowest busi-ness taxes. So based on per-capita spending, if you dothat analysis, we’re one ofthe lowest in the country.We run a very lean organi-zation here.On TransLink taxes:Do I like paying two cents?

No, I don’t, but I’m goingto take that and I’m goingto invest. Because it’s notgoing to be for me. I don’tneed to get on a train or abus. But my kids do, andthe seniors do. So, for me,it’s less about me and moreabout how we’re going totreat the next generation. On cars versus public transit:There are people that willnever get out of their cars.So we’ll still have cars, butdo you need four cars inyour family? When youdon’t have the infrastruc-ture and you have the pop-ulation we have, youexacerbate the problem bybecoming a lot more car-dependent.On lack of interest in munici-pal government:People are busy and theydon’t realize that the feder-al government does thisand the provincial govern-ment does that, and we dothis. So there’s a lot ofthings we get involved inthat are not under our ju-

risdiction. Like funding forschools. That’s a provincialissue, but we’ve beenstrong advocates. And I cango meet with the premierand the finance ministerand education minister.That’s probably why I likeit so much, actually. It’s sohands-on.On the influence of develop-ers:Frankly, people know fullwell if you have a goodproject I’ll support it, and ifyou don’t then I won’t.Whether you want todonate money to acampaign or not, that’s to-tally up to you.On the Occupy movement:I think that gettinginvolved to effect change isbetter done inside a systemthan sitting in a tent. I un-derstand why they’re doingthat, but I think there hasto be more to it.

Poll conducted by Vision Critical/Angus Reid Public Opinion for CAW Local 111 September 20-23, 2011

Metro Vancouver voters have a clear choice in the November 19 municipal elections — they can send a message to the provincial government and TransLink by electing Mayors and Councilors who support better public transit through sustainable funding.

That’s because Metro Vancouver bus service levels are inadequate — leading to ongoing pass ups of riders due to full buses, overcrowding and poor service despite high fares.

An Angus Reid Public Opinion poll conducted for Canadian Auto Workers Local 111, the union representing TransLink bus drivers, is clear — Metro Vancouver wants more service.

And for good reason — Montreal and Toronto have service every 10 minutes or less on 58% of their bus runs, while Metro Vancouver only has 10 minute service on 26% of its bus runs.

That’s because Metro Vancouver is between 500 and 800 buses short of the number needed to provide adequate service.

And 87% of Metro Vancouver residents want better Night Bus service and longer SkyTrain hours because tough new drinking and driving laws have made it even more important to get a safe ride home.

TransLink needs sustainable funding beyond inflationary increases to provide riders with the bus service they deserve — ask your candidates for Mayor and Council if they support sustainable funding — and make your vote count on

November 19.

Metro Vancouver wants More Buses Now, more Night Bus service, longer SkyTrain hours and

more SeaBus sailings — that’s what recent public opinion polling shows.

85% of those polled want significant improvements made to TransLink’s bus and SkyTrain service, with 48% strongly in favour.

www.MoreBusesNow.ca

The following mayoralty candidates support More Buses Now and increased, sustainable funding of Translink.

They all said"yes" to this question:

Do you support increasing funding of public transit in Metro Vancouver beyond inflationary increases in order to provide the sustainable funding levels needed to expand the system and restore adequate bus service? Yes or No?

Specialist not sure terminally illshould be sedated to hasten death

Former NHLstar opposesresort planThe former captain of Cana-da’s Olympic gold medalmen’s hockey team saysBritish Columbia is one ofthe world’s few remaininghomes to wild grizzly bears,which is why he’s speakingout against a proposed re-sort development near hishometown in Cranbrook.

Scott Niedermayer saidyesterday the proposedJumbo Glacier ski resortproject in the Purcell Moun-

Niedermayer retiredfrom professional hockeyin 2010 after 18 seasons inthe National Hockey Leagueand four Stanley Cups.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sedating terminally ill pa-tients into unconscious-ness to ease their painuntil they die is a treat-ment option available todoctors, but one pallia-tive-care specialist isn’tsure doctors should beable to go the next stepand deliberately hastentheir deaths.

B.C. Civil Libertieslawyer Joe Arvay is argu-ing in B.C. Supreme Court

that physicians should begiven the right to help se-riously ill patients endtheir lives.

He said the safeguardsin place for palliative carealready provide the foun-dation.

Dr. Douglas McGregor,head of palliative care for

the Vancouver CoastalHealth Authority, agreedthe rules would be inplace if physician-assisteddying was made legal.

“But I’m not sure that’sthe right thing to do inour society,” he told thetrial yesterday.

McGregor testified that

his health-care team hasadministered so-calledpalliative sedation just sixor seven times amid thehundreds of patients he’streated at the hospicewhere he has worked overthe last eight years.

The sedation is onlyused to give a patient re-lief from pain or sufferingwhen they’re near death,but it is not intended tokill them. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Yes. You read that headline correctly.

And by “over-charged, under-appreciated, contract-loathing mobile phone customers” we mean a majority of all mobile customers in Canada.

On average, Canadians pay more than twice as much per minute than US mobile customers.* Obviously this is something none of you are very happy about. But your collective grumblings haven’t gone unheard. Over the past two years we at WIND Mobile have built our business by listening to your issues and then (surprisingly enough) adapting our off erings to meet your needs.

• That means getting a $0 phone without being shackled to a painful 3-year term contract. • That means knowing the distances between Canadians seem shorter if there are

no long distance charges to pay on our network. • That means we understand that the way to keep customers with us is not through

restrictive contracts, but by off ering fair pricing and transparent billing.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have already turned to WIND. And with each new customer we get the opportunity to listen to a new voice of change. So join us as together we create the plans, the services and the pricing that you deserve.

Because that’s the power of WIND.

Crackdowns against theOccupy Wall Street en-campments across thecountry reached the epi-center of the movementyesterday, when policerousted protesters from aManhattan park and ajudge ruled that their freespeech rights do not ex-tend to pitching a tent andsetting up camp formonths at a time.

It was a potentially dev-astating setback. If crowdsof demonstrators return toZuccotti Park, they will notbe allowed to bring tents,sleeping bags and otherequipment that turned thearea into a makeshift cityof dissent.

But demonstratorspledged to carry on withtheir message protestingcorporate greed and eco-nomic inequality, either inZuccotti or a yet-to-be cho-sen new home.

“This is much biggerthan a square plaza in

downtown Manhattan,”said Hans Shan, an organ-izer who was workingwith churches to findplaces for protesters tosleep. “You can’t evict anidea whose time hascome.”

Occupy Wall Street protesters clash withpolice at Zuccotti Park after being orderedto leave their longtime encampment inNew York, early yesterday.

Police disperse protesters near theencampment at Zuccotti Park. At about 1a.m. yesterday, police handed out noticesfrom the park’s owner and the city sayingthat the park had to be cleared.

A protester is arrested during a march onBroadway after police ordered demonstra-tors to leave the park.

Judge’s ruling

Supreme Court JusticeMichael Stallman denied a motion by thedemonstrators seeking tobe allowed back into thepark with their tents andsleeping bags.

The protesters “have notdemonstrated that theyhave a First Amendmentright to remain in ZuccottiPark, along with their tents,structures, generators andother installations to theexclusion of the owner’sreasonable rights ... or tothe rights to public accessof others who might wishto use the space safely,”Stallman wrote.

New York Mayor MichaelBloomberg said he orderedthe sweep because healthand safety conditions andbecome “intolerable” inthe crowded plaza.

Can’t ‘evict an idea’: Occupy T.O.A judge says Occupy Toron-to protesters can remain ina downtown park while themerits of a city eviction or-der are argued in court.

Occupy Toronto protest-ers went to court yesterdayafter receiving the evictionnotices and are requestingan injunction against theeviction.

The judge says the pro-testers can’t be removed

pending his decision fol-lowing arguments on Fri-day, but added that no newstructures can be erected inthe park.

As police looked on, by-law officers threaded theirway between tents andthrough the mud yesterdaymorning to put up the no-tices, which were quicklytaken down.

The protesters said the

city could not “evict anidea” whose time hadcome, and they said theyplanned to stay.

But some demonstratorssaid they would leaverather than risk confronta-tion with police and possi-ble criminal charges.

Scrapping the requirementto register rifles and shot-guns could fuel illegalfirearms trafficking acrossthe Canadian border, warnsan internal federal memo.

The federal telecommunica-tions regulator has rejecteda controversial plan thatwould have allowed the bigphone and cable companiesto impose a usage-basedbilling model on Internetservice resellers, a systemthat the Conservative gov-ernment and many con-sumers had opposed.

The Canadian Radio-tele-vision and Telecommunica-tions Commission’sdecision yesterday insteadgives the companies a

choice of either chargingthe smaller Internetproviders a flat rate per useror selling the ISPs a specificamount of capacity on theirnetworks.

“The net effect of it isthat there will be no caps,no limitations, no meteringof use for retail customersas a result of this CRTC deci-sion,” CRTC chairman Kon-rad von Finckenstein said.

The regulator launchedits review after a social me-dia campaign launched by

the ISPs and an ensuingpublic backlash, as well asurging by former industryminister Tony Clement.

Under the new capacitymodel for billing, a smallISP buys a certain amountof network capacity fromone of the big providers,and if its customers unex-pectedly increase their us-age, their service couldslow.

“If they buy too littlethey have a problem withtheir end customers, if they

buy too much they pay forsomething that they don’tuse,” von Finckenstein said.

Industry Minister Chris-tian Paradis said the govern-ment would study thedecision carefully to ensureit stimulated competitionand investment and al-lowed Canadians to choose.“Let me be clear: our gov-ernment’s policy will al-ways be to encouragecompetition, ensure con-sumer choice and minimizeregulation,” he said in a

statement last night.Independent Internet

service provider TekSavvywas pleased with the struc-ture, but said the actualrates will increase costs forconsumers. “The rates ap-proved by the commissiontoday will make it muchharder for independent ISPsto compete,” TekSavvy CEOMarc Gaudrault said. “Thisis an unfortunate develop-ment for telecommunica-tions competition inCanada.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

TransCanada Corp. says ithas reached an agreementwith the Nebraska govern-ment to change the route ofits proposed Keystone XLoil pipeline to avoid theecologically sensitive Sand-hills region.

The Calgary-basedpipeline giant said it sup-ports Nebraska legislationthat ensures the pipelinedoesn’t cross the expanse ofgrass-strewn, loose-soil

hills, and part of the Ogal-lala aquifer, which supplieswater to Nebraska and sev-en other states.

The 2,700-kilometre, $7-billion US pipeline, if built,will carry crude from Alber-ta’s oilsands to refineries onthe U.S. Gulf Coast, travers-ing six states along the way.

Some of the most heatedenvironmental oppositionto the pipeline has comefrom Nebraska, where

many residents were con-cerned a spill from thepipeline could pollute wa-ter they rely on for farmingand ranching.

Last Thursday, the U.S.State Department heededthose concerns, announc-ing it would delay its deci-sion on Keystone XL untilearly 2013 so that the com-pany could come up with anew route.

The U.S. State Depart-ment has final say on Key-stone XL because it would

cross an international bor-der. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Trimming thecost of a haircutOne Ohio barber has turned theprice of a haircut on its head.

After a mortgage crisis, macro-un-employment, stock-market tumblesand poor consumer confidence, Gre-gory Burnett is only charging peoplewhat they can afford for a haircut, ac-cording to the Canton Repositorynewspaper.

After his usual back-to-school rushfailed to show, he put up a sign thatsays, “TIMES ARE HARD WHAT CANYOU PAY FOR A CUT.”

He has accepted as little as $5 for aregular $12 haircut, the newspaperreports.

The owner of Old School BarberShop said he named his shop for thatmantra.

“Old school is making somethingout of nothing,” Burnett told theRepository.

The 56-year-old has been a work-ing man all his life by doing servicejobs: shining shoes, driving cabs, andfor the last 25 years he has workedas a hairstylist and barber, the Repos-itory says.

And now that he has his own bar-ber shop, he still shines shoes.Although it’s $5, and that’s non-negotiable.

DAD’S DOINGDOUBLE DUTY

Life is full of doublestandards, and here’s one ofmine: I can admit I protect(and sometimesmicromanage) my daughters,11 and 9, in a way I probably

wouldn’t if I had boys. When I was dating my now-wife in

high school — yes, high schoolsweethearts! — I used to snicker whenshe had to get home by midnight to turnoff her dad’s alarm clock. If she didn’tbeat the alarm, he said he’d go out

looking for her, call police, call hospitals. I said I’d neverbe that kind of dad.

I am that kind of dad. More so because I have girls.Why? Well, for one thing, I’m fully aware there are

boys who will try to take advantage of them. Not allboys, but some.

There are also predators/monsters in the real worldand online, enormous pressures around drugs and alco-hol, and bullying (in recent weeks, a 10-year-old Illinoisgirl, Ashlynn Conner, hanged herself after being bulliedat school). I know these things apply to boys as well, but Ijust think the implications are compounded for girls.

It’s not that I don’t trustmy daughters. It’s that Iknow what kids are like. Iwas one. Kids are kids, notadults. They will make mis-takes. They will make baddecisions sometimes. Thereare so many peer pressures.

What I tell my girls iswe’re instantly accessiblewhenever they’re in a bind.Text us, call us, tweet us —we’ll be there. Noquestions. No judgments.(Well, questions will comelater.)

Mobile devices are ablessing for this generation,allowing kids to be muchmore accessible to theirparents if they’re in harm’sway. But adding social me-dia to the mix does createmore trigger points.

The extent of our bad“social media” growing up: crank calls and rolled-uppieces of paper (e.g., “Johnny loves Sarah”) passedaround class. Now there’s the quick distribution ofvoyeuristic photos from a party that go “viral” and MeanGirl tactics (“You’re fat,” “You’re ugly,” “You’re Stupid”)that don’t end in the schoolyard but continue onFacebook.

We let our daughters use social media — there aremany virtues to it — but monitor it very closely.

Sure kids have to have some sense of forging an iden-tify outside their parents. We will give ours some line.But my blinders will not be on. Denial and ignorance dono good. As parents, you have to anticipate and react.Particularly with girls.

My angels won’t understand all the decisions we makeuntil they have grown into women and parents.

In the meantime, all we can do is protect them — andhopefully empower them at the same time.

It is a causal flaw inthe machinery of our eco-nomic system that willnot allow any current de-sirable progress withoutfirst addressing thesymptoms directly.

At the startof the ani-mated pen-guin pictureSurf’s Up,Cody Maver-ick (the voice

of Transformer’s star ShiaLaBeouf ) takes a shot atanother cartoon tuxedoedbird movie.

Asked if he has anyother skills besides surf-ing. Cody sarcasticallysays, “Like what? Singingand dancing?”

Of course, he’s refer-ring to Happy Feet, theOscar winning movie

about an Emperor Pen-guin who can’t find hissoul mate the usual way— through song — so heuses his other talent —tap dancing.

The musical penguinsof Happy Feet shimshammed their way tohuge box office in 2006,and will paddle and rolltheir way back into the-atres again this weekendin Happy Feet Two.

For a while, it seemedlike you couldn’t swing aherring without hitting apenguin at the movies.

March of the Penguins,a real-life look at the mi-gration march of Emperorpenguins to their tradi-tional breeding ground,was a left field hit in 2005.The winner for Best Docu-

mentary not only outgrossed all the nomineesfor Best Picture that year— it took in $77 millionvs. $75 million for Broke-back Mountain — but alsobecame the second high-est grossing theatricaldocumentary afterFahrenheit 9/11.

It was such a huge hit itinspired an R-rated paro-dy, Farce of the Penguins.Featuring the voices ofSamuel L. Jackson, JasonAlexander and ChristinaApplegate, it’s an R-ratedspoof that imagines whatsex-starved penguinsmight talk about on the70 mile walk to their mat-ing grounds.

“I am tired of the clubscene,” says one penguin.“So are the baby seals!”replies another.

More family friendlywas Madagascar, the storyof four Central Park Zooanimals who get strandedon the island of Madagas-car. The movie featured alarge menagerie of char-acters, but the zoo’s pen-guins, Skipper, Kowalski,

Rico and Private, provedto be audience favorites.They have most of themovie’s best lines — onlanding in Africa one ofthe flightless birds says,“Africa? That ain't gonnafly!” — and were featuredin a short film, The Mada-gascar Penguins in aChristmas Caper, a TV se-ries and video games.

Probably the most fa-mous penguin characterin the movies is OswaldCobblepot a.k.a. The Pen-guin, as played by DannyDeVito in Batman Re-turns.

This super villain is hu-man, but dresses like apenguin, eats raw fish andtries to conquer Gothamwith an army of speciallytrained penguins.

The apple, as they say,doesn’t fall far from thetree.

Not only has KieferSutherland followed thefamous footsteps of hisparents, Donald Suther-land and Shirley Douglas,into the acting biz but heseems to have also inher-ited some of the fire of hisgrandfather.

When I complimentSutherland on his glasses,a pair of retro-lookingheavy frames, his passionflares.

“In the ’30s Rooseveltmade a deal betweenMoscot and the federalgovernment,” he says.

“Anybody who neededglasses during the greatdepression got theseglasses for free. Theymade millions of them. Soanyone who says therewas never a NationalHealthcare in the States isa liar. That was the firstnational healthcare pro-gram where they provid-ed glasses for free for theentire country.”

Echoes of his grandfa-ther, Tommy Douglas thefather of Canadian health

care, hang in the air.He’s equally passionate

when he speaks of his ad-miration for his latest di-rector, Lars von Trier, thecontroversial filmmakerbehind Melancholia.

“I have a great affectionfor Lars,” he says. “I’vedone 80 some odd films.I’ve done 198 episodes of24, which is the equiva-lent of another 100movies and this was themost unique experienceI’ve had as an actor.”

Von Trier, the outspo-ken Danish director brokedown the way his actorswere used to working, do-ing away with lengthy re-hearsals and traditionalblocking.

Sutherland explainshow, on his first day ofshooting, von Trier threwhim and a co-star into acomplicated scene.

“He walks CharlotteGainsbourg and I to adoor. He says, ‘OK this isthe room. I want you toplay this scene on the oth-er side of this door. We’reall set and ready to go,and you just go do it.’”

When Sutherland ob-jected von Trier told himto, “Stop talking.”

“We went and did the

scene and he deconstruct-ed everything I’ve learnedas a technical actor,” hesays.

“John Hurt has myfavourite line in the en-tire movie. He’s dancingand I’m walking with allthe drinks for the table.As I walk by he says, ‘Ihave no idea what I’m do-ing!’ We all felt like that. Idon’t know what I’m do-ing either! And that’s ex-actly how Lars wanted it.That was the spirit of it.It’s something that I willcarry with me for the restof my career.”

‘The most uniqueexperience I’vehad as an actor’

Kiefer Sutherland stars in Melancholia. The film centres around a new

planet that “threatens to collide into the Earth,” according to IMDB.

Drake onmaking sureto Take Care

When Drake found out hislatest album, Take Care,had leaked online a weekbefore its release, he tookto Twitter and in a verypractical tone wrote to hisfour million followers, “Lis-ten, enjoy it, buy it if youlike it...and take care untilnext time.”

This pragmatic responseis telling of Drake’s ap-proach. On Take Care, hefrequently raps about whathe observes with a sense ofboth realism and optimism.

This is present most insongs like, We’ll Be Fine,and HYFR, where he says, “Ilearned working with thenegatives could make for abetter picture.”

Is it just a given that analbum will always leak beforeit comes out, or do you actu-

ally try to figure out wherethe leak came from?Nah. You know, my last al-bum leaked like 28 days be-fore it came out and thatwas kind of devastating. Idon’t know necessarilyknow how it happened butI feel that if leaks are some-what contained — like ifyour album leaks six or sev-en days before it’s supposedto come out — I never see itas detrimental or that dam-aging. First of all, I’m anartist that was birthed inthe generation of leaks onthe Internet, so I’m not real-ly trippin’ when the albumcomes out a little bit beforethe release date. But whenpeople get it like two tothree or four weeks before,that’s when it’s hard. Imean, some music doesn’teven last two weeks any-more. People’s interest lev-els switch so quickly. I wascool with it though, to behonest, as cool as I could be.

Obviously, I wish that theycould all hear it at the sametime, on the day that itdrops, but I think that un-fortunately with the accessthat everybody has to mu-sic, I think that’s just unre-alistic unless you dropsolely digital, which affectsyour sales, so it’s a toss-up. You knew for more than ayear that this album was go-ing to be called Take Care.How did you decide that soearly on in the process?We came up with it whenwe were touring in Europewith Jay-Z, and we were allon the bus together and wecame up with this name,and as the months went on,it just got stronger andstronger. It just started hav-ing more meaning, moreimpact, and I started hear-ing it more and realizedthat it’s kind of an infec-tious title. I was prettymuch sold on it. There wasnever a point where I waslike, ‘Oh, I need a new al-bum title’ or anything. You have a lot guest stars onthis album. There’s Lil Wayne,Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Rihan-na and even Stevie Wonder. Iwas surprised though thatyou didn’t have Stevie sing.Instead you just had him playhis signature harmonica.I think that the record, theway it was, was done al-ready when he was listen-ing to it. Vocally, we hadtracked it out, and me andhim have these other plansfor a record where we singtogether. We’ve been talk-ing about it for a while now.And I thought this wasmore of an interesting wayto incorporate him in thealbum, as almost like a mu-sical contributor and a mu-sical guide. He added somegreat things to that songand I thought that was coolas opposed to having a bla-tant feature.

The Toronto rapper dishes on trying to preventan album from leaking, A-list guest stars and balancing philosophy and party rhymes

Drake says he wasn’t too bothered by the fact his

latest album, Take Care, was leaked early.

Get off the ledge — Community is not cancelledDespite rumors thatspread like wildfire on theInternet Monday evening,NBC’s Community has notbeen cancelled.

The comedy show,which stars Joel McHale,was not on the NBC’s mid-season renewal plans, butThe Hollywood Reportersaid that the show was notcancelled.

After Community en-thusiasts started to panicthinking the show wascancelled, Brain Stelter, a

New York Times reporterthat covers television anddigital media tweeted thefollowing:

“Community is definite-ly not cancelled. NYT's BillCarter says, two cubiclesover. ‘NBC says it’ll be offthe air for only a brieftime.’”

While the show is on

NBC’s prime Thursdaynight slot, it's no secret it’sstruggling.

According toMSNBC.com the show’smost recent airing attract-ed 3.5 million viewers,which is just short of itsseason low.

Community airs onCitytv in Canada.

And for those who careto know, Prime Suspectwas not cancelled either.

“Community isdefinitely notcancelled.” BRIAN STELTER

You can stop writing that angry email — Community has not been cancelled.

HANDOUT

Transforming ordinary hu-mans into flesh-eating,mindless zombies forAMC’s monster hit TheWalking Dead involves afair bit of Hollywood mag-ic, to be sure. But makeupmaster Greg Nicotero or-chestrated his own re-markable transformationwith a leap to the direc-tor's chair for the show'ssecond season.

The special effects wiz-ard — whose diverse slateof movie projects includeInglourious Basterds, TheGreen Mile, Sin City, ThePacific and the Kill Bill se-ries — helms an upcomingepisode that marks a newbenchmark in his grue-some career.

The broadening appealof horror and fantasy fareis helping gross-out geekslike him find notoriety in

the mainstream, and evensnag high-profile projectsof their own, he says.

“I think what’s interest-ing about it is (we’re in) asituation where guys wholove and respected thegenre when they wereyounger are now well-placed in the industry,”Nicotero says in a recentinterview from the set ofThe Walking Dead.

“Between (directors)Sam Raimi and FrankDarabont and QuentinTarantino, Robert Ro-driguez — we all had thesame diet when we grewup, and that diet was lov-ing to watch old Ray Harry-hausen movies andreading Famous MonstersMagazine. It was just thiskind of weird shared exis-tence we all had when wewere younger.”

The Walking Dead has thrust special effects wizards back into the spotlight It’s truly a world unto itself

The grandiosity of gore

The Walking Dead has become known for its gory effects.

HANDOUT

Nicotero and his prolificeffects company KNB EFXGroup are featured in a

new documentary fromCanadian filmmaker Don-na Davies called Night-

mare Factory. It profiles agroup of craftsmen whopour their hearts and souls

into detailed prosthetics,even as much of the indus-try is increasingly turningto computer-generatedspectacles.

“They can sometimestake six months to buildan effect that will be onscreen for three seconds,”Davies says of Nicotero andhis partners.

“These are sculptors,painters, artists, line crafts-men — it’s not just aboutsitting down and hitting abutton and there it is. AndI think you can feel thatwhen you watch theshows.”

Davies, whose other TVdocs have included Zom-biemania and PrettyBloody: The Women ofHorror, was fascinated bythe reverence effectsartists have for filmmakerswho came before them.She notes Nicotero learnedhis craft from ‘80s splatterwizard Tom Savini (Fridaythe 13th, Day of the LivingDead).

“It’s a process whereyou learn under the direc-tion of another master andthat doesn't exist in thefilm industry very much,or in any other industry inthe arts as much.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“They cansometimes take sixmonths to build aneffect that will beon screen for threeseconds.”DONNA DAVIES

Irish actor Jason O’Mara isback on network televisionin Terra Nova, Fox’s mas-

sive, Steven Spielberg-pro-duced sci-fi series about hu-mans from a burned-outfuture colonizing the dis-tant past in a parallel uni-verse.

In it, O’Mara stars as JimShannon, a cop and family

man making a new life in ajungle overrun with di-nosaurs. His last TV gig, Lifeon Mars, was also about atime-travelling cop, coinci-dentally, but O’Mara insistshe’s not trying to make thathis niche.

After Life on Mars and this,are you secretly thinkingabout the next time travel-based role you’ll take on?No (laughs). It was a fluke,really. I didn’t do it becauseit was another cop travel-ling through time — I did it

in spite of that. It’s an excit-ing premise and I thoughtan exciting world, and theidea of a future civilizationwrestling with a Cretaceousone was fascinating to meand something that isn’t re-ally on TV, so I couldn’t sayno because of that. But theydidn’t think I was going todo it because it was anothercop travelling throughtime. I did it in spite of that,and I think the next things Ido, whether I’m a cop ornot, will be more in the realworld.

Were you wary of going backinto a network show after Lifeon Mars?Yeah, I was. I was quitewary — and quite gun-shyof playing a lead in a prime-time network series againbecause Life on Mars ex-hausted me. But this had aworld around it. It wasn’tjust about one man’s jour-ney, it was about him andhis family, and then youmeet this other characterwho’s just as interesting if

not more so. There’s a lot ofcharacters’ journeys aroundyou, so I knew I wasn’t go-ing to be working everyscene every day, which iswhat gets you down whenyou’re doing TV.

So what can you revealabout what’s coming up forthe rest of the season?We just recently revealed afew things, like one of thebeloved characters is goingto be dying by the end ofseason one, and that a di-nosaur would die by theend of season one, andthat the season finale wasgoing to be pretty spectac-ular, that there was goingto be a lot of explosiveevents. You know, I got in-to trouble from a lot ofthese people. A lot of myTwitter followers werelike, “Don’t spoil it! Whatare you doing? You’rekilling us.

Patti LaBelle accused of screamingat a toddler and punching its mother

The diva vs. the babyIf you are a ba-by and happento come acrosssinger Patti La-Belle, it’s best ifyou pull upyour diaper,grab your rat-

tle, and crawl right out ofthere.

It was disclosed yester-day in a lawsuit filed inManhattan Supreme Courtthat the singer screamedobscenities at a toddler andthrew a punch at the baby’smother (who also happensto be a school teacher)sometime this year.

The mother, RoseannaMonk, is now suing LaBelle,who was living in her Man-hattan apartment buildingwhile appearing on Broad-way’s Fela. Apparently, thisis what happened, accord-

ing to Monk’s lawyer, re-ports The New York DailyNews: The 18-month-oldtoddler, named Genevieve,was “scampering” aroundthe apartment building’slobby when LaBelle, who isdescribed as being in “fullstar regalia with oversizeshades and a fur coat” be-came upset at the baby asshe walked through.

“‘What are you doing let-ting your kid run aroundlike that?’ she reportedlyyelled. And then, accordingto the lawyer yet again,‘started screaming at myclient, throwing water froma bottle at the mother’s faceand the baby’s face.’”

As if that wasn’t enough,LaBelle then took a swing atthe baby’s mother.

She then was shoved in-to a waiting car by her en-tourage and the baby

“violently” threw-up. So far, LaBelle hasn’t re-

sponded to the allegations. She’s probably too busy

not-babysitting to do so.

And in other baby news...Christina Applegate mightnot want to have LaBelle asa guest star on her TV showUp All Night anytime soon.

As she tells The View,having her nine-month-olddaughter Sadie around wasa priority when deciding todo the new NBC show.

“My whole thing was,‘I’m not doing this unless Ican bring her.’ So they hadto build me a room for herand it’s got her toys and acrib and she takes her napsthere,” the actress ex-plained. “That’s called acrazy mother who said, ‘No,I’m not doing anything un-less I can be with my baby.’”

Escape the resortWe could all use a littlequality time in the sun anda dip in the ocean, especial-ly as another long Canadi-an winter approaches.

But if you’re like some ofthe thousands of Canadiantravellers who flock to thisCaribbean island nation of10 million people eachyear, you want the all-inclu-sive travel experience to beabout more than just sit-ting around the resort allday with the latest DanielleSteel/John Grisham novel.

That’s where the It Zonecomes in. Launched in No-vember by Nolitours (amember of Transat A.T.Inc.), the It Zone is de-signed for travellers toPuerto Plata who enjoy thehome base of an all-inclu-sive resort — ours was thescenic Be Live GrandMarien — but who are ea-ger to get in touch with thelocal culture, try some out-door adventure activitiesand check out the nightlife.

Eat

A recent tour gave a groupof Canadian journalists aclose-up glimpse of life out-side the perimeter, but firstwe had to fuel up with anintimate dinner at chefRafael Vásquez Heinsen’sMares Restaurant andLounge. Vásquez Heinsen’s

shaded backyard terraceserves as the main diningarea, and the lobster isfresh from the ocean thatday.

Monkey business

The next day, a short driveoutside Puerto Plata, inSosua, is the MonkeyJungle, run by thehusband andwife team ofChuck and Can-dy Ritzen. TheAmerican ex-pats have hit onan innovativebusiness modelthat contributes tothe economy, creates

jobs and provides basicdental and health care tothe local population.

Monkey Jungle is hometo 15 protected squirrelmonkeys and six Capuchinmonkeys, with a careprovider who was formerlywith the Toronto Zoo. You

can walk throughthe squirrel

monkeyhabitat andthe curi-ous simi-ans justhop onyour

shouldersfor a ride. It’s

the first timeI’ve literally had a

monkey on my back. You can also zip-line

through seven stations to-taling 4,400 feet and, be-fore the last zip, descendon a cable from a platforminto a cave; sort of like zip-lining, but vertically. TheRitzens have a self-sustain-ing operation where theyuse the profits from thezip-lining and monkey jun-gle activities to fund thehealth clinic on the premis-es.

Sustainable tourism

The idea of sustainabletourism has also been tak-en up by tour companies.Transat A.T. Inc. partners

with SOS Children’s Vil-lages, which provides car-ing, village-style grouphomes for orphaned,abused or abandoned chil-dren.

We were given a tour ofthe village in Santiago delos Caballeros, about anhour from Puerto Plata.The smiling kids were cu-rious, and a spontaneousgame of baseball, the na-tional sports obsession,broke out using a stickand a ball of rolled-up tin-foil.

Go big, or go home

If it’s true you have to gobig or go home, then OceanWorld is a must-see beforeyou head back to the GreatWhite North.

Open since 2004, themassive ocean-side com-plex features interactive ac-tivities with dolphins,sharks and stingrays aswell as exhibits with every-thing from tigers to tou-cans.

In terms of size, theplace filters six millionlitres of seawater an hour.

Now put that book downand go!

A meeting with WendyDoulton isn’t easy to comeby.

As a headhunter forhigh-profile clients such asAmazon, Gap and Sony,she’s responsible for find-ing the best talent to fillpositions that commandpaychecks beginning inthe six figures.

Viewers got a sneakpeek into what Doulton’slooking for in a Fortune500 executive when herBravo special, The Head-huntress, aired this week.

While she’s the perfectreality star — successful,intense and quick — shewas more than graciouswhen we asked her toshare some career advice.Here’s how to land onDoulton’s radar.

Know what you offer

“My foundational coach-ing is to know who you areand know what you bringto the party,” says Doulton.“Pay very close attentionto anything that affects

your mood — positively ornegatively — and let thatinform you.”

Interview your interviewer

Interviews go both ways.“The trick here isn’t to an-swer the question right,it’s to get the job that’sright for you,” she says.

“It’s like a date: ‘Doeshe like me, does he likeme?’ Well, do you likehim? Do you want to havecoffee and breakfast withhim every day of yourlife?”

Be positive

The poor job marketmakes headlines, butDoulton hasn’t seen a dipin business. “I’m recruit-ing for companies all thetime. Attitude is every-thing — if you want to sitaround and say, ‘There areno jobs out there,’ you’llbe right.”

Answer the question

Even if you don’t have theright answer to an inter-viewer’s question, get tothe point — and don’t takeyour time.

“Don’t skirt around the

question. People do that allthe time, even when theydo have a good answer.And I think it’s becausethey have these things thatthey think they need tosay.”

And answer it honestly

It’s important to comeacross as genuine and putthings out in the open be-fore you get offered a posi-tion that isn’t right for you.

skill. Rather, Internet-basedadvertising allows lawyersto pay for and then snatchup high rankings on Googlethat are not indicative ofthe quality of the lawyer orher firm. Similarly, thereare no rules limitinglawyers without much ex-perience in employmentlaw from professing thatthey practise it, on theirwebsites and in the media,and they often do.

Free consultationsSome lawyers advertise“free” consultations. Thesecan be a sham. A free con-sultation is usually nothingmore than a bait and switchtactic, designed to get youin the door and then con-vince you to spend moneyfor any substantive workperformed afterward.

Oral agreementsThe biggest problem mostpeople face with lawyers istheir billing practices. This

is because the regulatorybodies that oversee lawyershave few restrictions gov-erning how they charge fortheir work. Lawyers are of-ten left to their own de-vices, charging clientsbased on any combinationof their time spent or the

result obtained. If asked, alawyer should predict tothe best of his or her abili-ty the potential costs ofyour case. Then confirmthat arrangement in writ-ing. DANIEL LUBLIN IS AN EMPLOYMENTLAWYER WITH WHITTEN & LUBLIN LLP.

ISTOCK

One of the biggest problems most people face with

lawyers is their billing practices.

ways to give yourcareer some direction7Erin Millar and Ben Coli walk students through their post-secondaryjourney in The Canadian Campus Connection We combed thebook to find top tips to help you improve your job prospects

MARISABARATTATALENTEGG.CA

Stay healthy — it’s important

When it comes down to it, your health mattersmost. Don’t pull an all-nighter, stock up on coffeeor force yourself to attend your weekly gym classif you’re sick. Stress can take a toll on your healthand can create an impact that goes well into yourgraduate years. Most post-secondary institutionsoffer a plethora of ways for you to go abovepreventing illness and into maintaining a healthystate of life.

Fun electives can boost your resumé

How can a hiring manager forget the promisingcandidate who, in addition to earning strong marksand joining several clubs, completed a course invideo game addiction and the history of gaming atthe University of Western Ontario or learned aboutswing and golf etiquette at Medicine Hat College?

Get to know your professors

You may not love your class. But getting to knowyour professor could save your career. If you facethe common struggle of finding a job after yougraduate, your professor could become thestrongest reference on your resumé. Who knowsyou better than the person who saw you everyweek in class, read your papers and evaluated yourwork ethic firsthand? And you’ll be more interest-ed in what wisdom he or she has to share.

Plan your career path before yougraduate

You shouldn’t be expected to know where you wantto work when you’ve only just started university orcollege. But it’s a good idea to make anappointment with your adviser, even if it is to dou-ble-check that you’re fulfilling your program’srequirements. The last thing you want is to discov-er you have to reschedule your classes or stay backa semester to complete a course.

There is more to school than academics

Employers are more impressed with someone whodoes well in school and outside of it than someonewho can boast great marks with no extra-curriculars to show for it. Getting involved on cam-pus demonstrates many traits that are desirable inemployers’ eyes — time management skills and theability to multi-task and meet deadlines. Itindicates that you possess an interest in the worldaround you.

You don’t have to choose between university and college

Some programs combine the hands-on, practicalexperience of college with the theory-based, analyt-ical side of university. Those aspiring to be nursescan opt for a college diploma focusing on skills andexperience or a more academic degree from a uni-versity. These programs increase a graduate’sappeal among employers as their education demon-strates they can thrive in both settings.

Don’t underestimate the power of your network

You’ve heard it and you’ll hear it again: It’s not whatyou know, it’s whom you know. It’s essential thatyou possess a strong work ethic and a passion forwhat you do, but you’ll likely find after graduationthat this doesn’t seem to be enough to find a job.The friends you make, the people you meet and theadvisers you work with on campus can all help youfind a job or put you in touch with the right person.

Nicklas Lid-strom iswell intothe backnine of hiscareer — infact, he’s

likely on the 18th green. When he finally hangs

’em up he’ll leave a void asthe league’s best blue-linerand create a regular race forthe Norris Trophy.

Nashville’s Shea Weberlooks like a safe bet to takeon the crown, but there’s abuzz along the West Coastthat another Swede couldtake on the role.

When Christian Ehrhoff,who many saw as theCanucks’ best blue-liner lastyear, departed this off-sea-son, the consensus amongpundits was the blowwould be softened by therise of 25-year-old AlexEdler.

Turns out the punditswere right ... offensively, atleast. Edler has been every-thing Ehrhoff was and

more through Vancouver’sfirst 18 games. Ehrhoff ledthe Canucks D-corps inpoints last season with 50in 79 games (0.63 points pergame), while Edler has 16points (three goals, 13 as-sists, 0.89 PPG) in 2011-12and is third — by a widemargin — on the squadoverall.

His point total also tieshim for tops among all de-fencemen, with Tampa’sMarc-Andre Bergeron, Flori-da’s Brian Campbell and Ot-tawa’s Erik Karlsson. Edler’salso second in power playpoints with 10, just one be-

hind Campbell.Plus no Canuck sees the

ice more than Edler, whoaverages better than 23minutes a night.

Those are heady stats tobe sure, numbers that puthim in the conversation forthe Norris (which, for rightor wrong, nearly alwaysgoes to a man with bigpoint production). Howev-er, one stat that jumps outas a big minus for Elder is,well, his minus-1 rating.

All the “O” in the worldwon’t make you theleague’s No. 1 if you don’tshow a regular penchant

for shutting it down (seeGreen, Mike). Edler has allthe tools to be a force defen-sively — big, physical, longreach, wits and composureunder pressure — so it’sjust a matter of consistency.Sometimes brain crampsget the best him and theynormally manifest them-selves in cringe-worthygiveaways. Will those disap-pear? In now his fourth fullNHL season, the time issoon to put it all together.

The downside is a year-after-year 60- to 70-point D-man. The upside is he’s thenext Lidstrom.

There are times whenTravis Lulay envies the play-ers on defence.

The B.C. Lions quarter-back admits he can be“pretty feisty on game day.”The energy and emotionthat bubbles up inside himneeds to escape like steamfrom a boiling kettle.

“It is a constant effort tocurve that a little bit,” Lulaysaid yesterday after prac-tice.

“A quarterback is notlike a defensive guy whereyou can just go out and hitsomebody on the first playand get rid of some of theenergy. I do everything Ican to calm myself downbefore the game.”

How Lulay performswhen the Lions face the Ed-monton Eskimos in Sun-day’s CFL West final at BCPlace Stadium will go a longway in determining whichteam advances to the Nov.27 Grey Cup in Vancouver.

The Lions beat the Eski-mos three out of four timesduring the regular seasonand outscored them 130-79.

“There is a confidencelevel knowing that if weplay like we feel we are ca-pable of, we can do goodthings,” said Lulay.

“At the same time, weknow we have to earn everysingle thing. Nothing is go-ing to come easy because ofwhat has happened in thepast.”

Edmonton quarterbackRicky Ray has played in sev-en playoff games and

thrown for over 1,700yards.

Lulay has started justonce for the Lions in theplayoffs, a 41-38 overtimeloss to the SaskatchewanRoughriders in last year’sWest semifinal.

He completed an impres-sive 28-of-49 passes for 357yards, two touchdowns andone interception. Lulay alsoran five times for 39 yards,scored a TD and fumbledonce.

The biggest lesson Lulaylearned from that game ishow missed chances come

back to haunt you.“You have to take advan-

tage of opportunities,” hesaid. “We felt we had someopportunities in the first

half we didn’t quite take ad-vantage of.”

Coach and general man-ager Wally Buono showedpatience with Lulay this

season, even when the Li-ons staggered to a 0-5 start.There were times when the28-year-old made bad deci-sions or hurried throws.Buono’s faith has paid off.

Lulay has become morepoised in the pocket, hasbetter anticipation of whena receiver will be open andwhere to throw the ball.

“He’s had 18 games,”Buono said. “He anticipateswell, he reads well.

“He has more confidencein everything he does andthe guys around him.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘Feisty’ QB Lulay attempts to turn last year’s playoff disappointment into West final triumph

EngineThe 2012 ZL1’s supercharged 6.2-litre V-8 — a variation of theengines found in the Corvette ZR1 and Cadillac CTS-V — ismated to a six-speed manual transmission and dynos at 580horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque. This makes it themost powerful production Camaro ever built and, Chevroletproclaims, will be the most powerful Chevy droptop ever.

The ZL1 constitutes much more than just unbridled horse-power, but represents a thoroughly sorted out performanceplatform where nearly every component has been beefed upor completely redesigned to handle the engine’s hefty output.

Often when companies dig out sacred names from the past, they’re stuck to inferior cars that disappoint. Not here.

It’s your move, Mustangand Challenger. The newChevrolet Camaro ZL1 hasgot your number, or morecorrectly, has beaten yourbest horsepower numbers... by a lot.

How does the high-per-formance ZL1 coupe andconvertible square withGeneral Motors’ greenifica-tion program of introduc-ing fuel-sipping electrics,hybrids plus a couple ofnew ankle-biter sub-com-pacts?

Well, the eco trend is def-initely here to stay, but atthe opposite end of the oilbarrel, GM’s cornerstone di-vision isn’t neglecting its in-volvement in themuscle/ponycar bracket. Al-though relatively small, thepedal-to-the-metal gunfight-er class remains unequivo-cal in its No Imports

Allowed policy. And in this club the nu-

mero uno bylaw states thathorsepower rules and ab-solute horsepower rules ab-solutely, or at least untilanother club member upsthe ante and overthrowsthe leader.

The 2011 edition of theChevrolet Camaro’s SSmodel was rated at 426horsepower and was cer-tainly nothing to besneezed at.

But it couldn’t catch acold next to the DodgeChallenger’s SRT8 392 thatgenerated 470 horses fromits 6.4-litre “Hemi” V-8 en-gine.

That goes double forFord Mustang-based ShelbyGT500’s 550 ponies thatemanate from a super-charged 5.4-litre V-8.

With bragging rights onthe line, you just had toknow that Chevrolet wouldeventually retaliate.

Pony power

The convertible ZL1 will arrive after the tin-top model,

late enough to deem it a 2013 edition.

There’s really not much to do inside other than add some

suede inserts to the seats, which act like velcro to keep you

planted and in control — somewhat — of 580 horsepower.

MALCOLM [email protected] MEDIA

CabinBoth driver and their front passengershould have no problems stretchingout inside the Camaro’s generouslysized cabin with its power-adjustableheated leather seats with grippysuede-like inserts. They’ll also appre-ciate the sounds from the dual-modeexhaust system that becomes freerflowing (and louder) when the driveropens the taps a bit.

SuspensionThe ZL1’s suspension employs GM’sMagnetic Ride Control, which uses spe-cial shock dampers that constantly varythe degree of firmness, according toroad and driving conditions.

There are also Tour (soft) and Sport(firmer) settings that the driver can dialin. Most of the remaining suspensioncomponents have either been strength-ened or swapped out.

SECONDGEAR

[email protected]

For many shoppers, theminivan delivers the ulti-mate in bang-for-the-buckwhen it comes to movinga family around.

At General Motors, theChevrolet Uplander andPontiac Montana SV6 werethe most recent offeringsto the minivan-seekingmasses.

Though cosmeticallydifferent, the underlyinghardware in the Uplanderand Montana were basical-ly identical.

The following informa-tion, therefore, applies toboth.

EnginePower came from oneof two V-6 engines: a3.5-litre with 200 horsepower, ora 3.9-litre with 240. A four-speedautomatic transmission wasstandard and All Wheel Drivewas available.

Common issuesProblems stated with thenewer GM minivan power-plants seem few and farbetween — and are mainlysensor related. If theengine and transmission’sservice requirements havebeen adhered to, if it runssmoothly and if no “checkengine” lights are illumi-nated, you’re well on yourway. Be sure to “feel” forany transmission slipping— and avoid any modelthat exhibits it.

Avoid models with pow-er sliding doors. These canbe an expensive hasslewhen they fail.

VerdictA well-maintained Uplan-der or Montana should bea machine from whichowners can expect solidpowertrain reliability,plenty of space and afford-able pricing in the usedmarket.

What ownerslikeMost owners report acomfortable highway ride, smooth per-formance, plenty of interior space anda flexible cargo and passenger compart-ment layout. Gas mileage is ratedstrongly, relatively speaking.

What ownersdislikeComplaints tend to in-clude interior squeaking, rattlingand trim wear as the vehicles age,as well as bland and uninspiredstyling.

Scion’s smart ‘city car’ lives up to its name

plenty of head room forthose days when my hair isoh-so-’80s.

Acceleration is surpris-ingly rapid. Although thepassing lanes on the wind-ing roads of our drivingroute were short, the iQdidn’t hesitate. It felt confi-dent and sure-footed whileenjoying a small spurt of115 km/h on the highway.

You just have to keep inmind that 94 horsepower is94 horsepower. The iQdoesn’t think it’s biggerthan it is but, like the adsays, it is bigger than you think.

I like the Scion iQ’s mi-cro size yet macro personal-

ity. When you’re in it, thereis no sign of a Napoleoncomplex. The iQ is smalland proud of it.

I like the way the tiresare jauntily pushed out tothe edge of the vehicle. I

like the smooth seat-glid-ing levers on either side ofthe passenger chair. And,even though I didn’t seethem, I like the class-lead-ing 11 airbags as well asthe great fuel economy.

The iQ doesn’t weigh all that much, so the

94-horsepower engine feels stronger, relatively speaking.

PHOTOS BY WHEELBASE MEDIA

Ifound a car that does-n’t need reverse gear.Really. The start andend points of a day inthe Scion iQ were thesame, essentially a

circle. All day, I drove, ma-noeuvred, parked, stopped,started, accelerated andturned.

There were wrong turns,tight turns, U-turns. Re-verse gear? Not even once.

Along a meandering andpretty shore road, my drivepartner and I did every-thing we could to throwour test vehicle into thetightest circles possible.

And both of us giggleduncontrollably every time.

The 2012 Scion iQ has aturning radius of just fourmetres and in the deliciousHot Lava colour, it matchedmy Kate Spade bag quitenicely, thank you very

much.Thinking about spend-

ing the day in the world’ssmallest four-seater, I haveto admit that I was a littleapprehensive since I’m al-most six feet tall. Would Ihave to be pried out of thething? Would I be sportingbruised temples, ankles, el-bows and a pretzeledspine?

First off, it might techni-cally have four seats, butthe back is strictly for tod-dlers and passengers of thecanine variety. If I daredsuggest any of our threeleggy daughters sit backthere, I would get dirtylooks and plenty of eye-rolling.

We most certainly werenot in Alabama in mid-July,but, on our drive day, wewere treated to an unsea-sonably warm day and theworld’s smallest air-condi-tioning system handled itwith aplomb.

Scion, the youthful off-

shoot of its Toyota parents,boasts that the iQ, in directcompetition with Italian-heartstring-tugging Fiat500 and Germany’s SmartForTwo, has the flattest gastank, no thicker than a canof soda and half as thick asstandard gas tanks.

The “iQute” also has theworld’s first rear-windowairbag, which is proper be-cause if you’re in that backseat, you want to knowthat there’s something be-tween grave danger andyour head.

I spent equal time in thedriver’s seat and in the pas-senger seat of the iQ.

The passenger’s side isinteresting and innovative.There is no glove box. Adrawer that slides outfrom under the seat takescare of that storage re-quirement.

On the driver’s side, theseat and positioning arecomfortable. Enough roomfor long legs and arms and
