Calgary residents currently in Lon-don fear their safety could bethreatened should unlawful behav-iour in the city continue to grow.

The riots started Saturday witha protest over a police shooting buthave morphed into general law-lessness, forcing police to adoptnew control tactics.

Jacqueline Civitarese, a Calgari-an working as a public-relationsintern in London, said riots haveconsistently progressed towardsthe city’s centre and the commu-nity she is staying in.

The 25-year-old heard a particu-larly harrowing tale of individualspretending to help a man injuredin the riots before taking advan-tage and robbing him.

“There’s a lot of people that havebeen injured,” she added. “My

worst fear is that it escalates.... It’sbecoming more prominent. It’s ineveryone’s backyard almost.”

Cochrane resident Sarah Samp-son, who is visiting family in Lon-don, heard a spontaneous riot wasplanned for a community near thehostel where she is staying as riot-ers continued to co-ordinatethrough use of social media.

Luckily, she is scheduled to flyhome today.

“It’s still spreading, it’s not stop-ping,” Sampson said.

Civitarese said daily routines inthe capital city have been alteredsignificantly, noting she was sent

home early from work yesterday.“Everyone is really embar-

rassed,” she said of the mood in thecountry.

But through all the destructionand fear, some signs of hope havealso emerged.

Erika Soliven, who lived in Cal-gary before moving to London twoand a half years ago, said news ofresidents joining forces to clean upriot debris was a step in the rightdirection.

Meanwhile, police launched amurder inquiry after a man foundwith a gunshot wound during riotsin the south London suburb ofCroydon died of his injuries yes-terday. Police said 44 officers and 14members of the public were hurt,including a man in his 60s with life-threatening injuries.WITH FILES FROM THE CANADIAN PRESS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Divers with the CalgaryFire Department were of-fered in the search for a lo-cal man presumeddrowned in ChestermereLake, but the lack of a con-tract kept them out of thewater.

RCMP divers fromBritish Columbia arrived inthe town just east of Cal-gary yesterday to continuehunting for the body ofRichis Bondo Katumbay.

The 33-year-old father ofseven was tubing Saturdaynight on the lake when heslipped off and failed tostay afloat.

Calgary fire spokesper-son Brian McAsey saidteams from Calgary wereoffered immediately forboth rescue and recoveryof the body but were de-clined.

“We actually offered, noone asked us,” McAsey said

yesterday. “You would haveto ask the RCMP about howthey go about that.”

The RCMP instead optedto bring down a team fromEdmonton. That grouphalted the search Sundaynight and returned home.

No recovery efforts wereconducted Monday as theRCMP sought help fromdive teams in nearbyprovinces.

RCMP spokespersonPatrick Webb said anyavailable resources will beused for a rescue operation

but contracts for recoveryefforts will be made onlywith select groups.

“We have four agenciesthat have said we are avail-able to go where you needfor when you need,” hesaid.

A modern-day gold rushhas hit the economy.

With gold prices reach-ing high rates recently, peo-ple have been rushing tocash in on their valuables.

“It’s a great time to liqui-date,” said Nicole Polet,spokeswoman for The GoldRecyclers, a travellingkiosk that tours around

Canada. “The increase in the

market value will finallymotivate (people) to cleanout their jewelery boxes.”

People were lined upMonday at the SouthcentreMall kiosk to cash in theirgold. Some even brought intheir gold teeth, according

to Polet.The trend has surprised

some observers.“It is unusual,” said Rob

Laidlaw, vice president anddirector of Acumen Capital.“We haven’t seen a goldspike in a while.”

Laidlaw describes gold asa “safe haven” for investorsrecently but he adds thatall metals have been doingwell in the markets.

SUSPECT NABBED

Fraudstertargeted oilcompaniesfor millionsGreed is likely whattipped Alberta oil andgas companies off to analleged fraud operationaimed at acquiring mil-lions of dollars.

Calgary policeannounced yesterdaythey have charged JohnEdward Wilson, 41, with

three counts of fraud ofmore than $5,000 afterhe allegedly sent falseinvoices to seven compa-nies claiming they owedpayments for well-siteenvironmental-compli-ance fees.

The bills ranged from$400,000 to $3.3 millionand contained an “elabo-rate” breakdown of thecost per well.

It is believed no com-pany fell for the allegedscam.

More charges are pos-sible, said Const. TanyaBertulli.

“We believe that hadthe amounts been small-

er, they (the oil and gascompanies) would havejust paid up,” Bertullisaid.

Police allege Wilsonconducted the invoicingunder the guise of acompany called AlbertaEnvironmental Registry,which was incorporatedlast month.

“We believe he hadknowledge of the oil andgas sector,” she added.

In hopes of nabbingthe fraudster, Bertullisaid police set up a stingoperation claiming theywere willing to pay thefee.

Turkey urges Syriato end crackdown

Foreign minister meets with Assad to discuss peaceArmy launches new raids that kill 22 people

Turkey’s foreign ministersaid he met PresidentBashar Assad for morethan six hours yesterdayto discuss “concretesteps” Syria should taketo stop its violent crack-down on anti-governmentprotesters.

Meanwhile, the Syrianarmy launched a series ofnew raids around thecountry, which activistssaid killed 22 people.

Ahmet Davutoglu,speaking to reporters onhis return to Turkey fromDamascus, said the talkswere cordial but did notsay what steps they haddiscussed or whether As-sad had agreed to consid-er them.

“We discussed ways to

prevent confrontation be-tween the army and thepeople in the most openand clear way,” the Turk-ish foreign minister said.

Assad is facing growinginternational condemna-tion over the regime’s

deadly crackdown on a five-month-old uprising.Envoys from India, Braziland South Africa are alsoheaded to Damascus topress for an end to the vi-olence.

The visit by Davutogluis significant becauseAnkara, until recently,had close ties to Damas-cus. But Turkey has be-come increasingly criticalof its neighbour over thebloodshed.

Syria’s state-run SANAnews agency said Assadtold Davutoglu the Syriangovernment will be re-lentless in its pursuit of“terrorist groups” to safe-guard stability and securi-ty in the country.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The rally occurred evenas the U.S. Federal Re-serve acknowledged theU.S. economy is weakerthan it had thought, withmore challenges ahead.The Fed announced yes-terday that it is keepinginterest rates near zeroand expects to keep themlow through mid-2013.

The main Toronto in-dex has fallen sharplyover the past two weeks,

losing almost nine percent in just the last threesessions, a reflection ofworries about Europe’ssovereign debt crisis and

the U.S. going back intorecession.

“Europe is the biggestconcern,” said Jim Muir,director at Fraser Macken-zie, pointing out that atleast the U.S. has the willto dig itself out of itsproblems.

“And I’m not sure thateven with the will youcould solve Europe’s prob-lems. What happens totheir banking systemwhen, not if, Greece goeslights out and gives every-one a haircut on the pa-per they’re holding? Thenwhat happens after thatbecause there are othercountries that are in notmuch better shape thanGreece?” THE CANADIAN PRESS

A crude awakeningOil prices in Europe fell to their lowest in almost ayear yesterday amid a global sell-off of equities andcommodities triggered by investor fears of a loom-ing U.S. recession. But OPEC said yesterday thatworld demand for oil will grow this year and nextdespite signs the tepid international economicrecovery is running out of steam.

Gold prices are pushing tonew heights as investors di-gest the possible conse-quences of the lowered U.S.credit rating and Europe’sdebt crisis.

Investors view gold as asafer bet amid rising wor-ries about debt levels of themajor economies and tum-bling stock markets. Its val-ue, unlike that of a

currency, doesn’t hinge onwhether countries canmake their bond payments,or on the their economies.

The price of goldstreaked past $1,700 US anounce for the first timeMonday as anxious in-vestors sought safety in themetal as stocks tumbledaround the world. Gold fu-tures settled yesterday at a

record $1,743 US an ounce.Gold’s price has more

than doubled since the re-cession began in late 2007.Its climb accelerated thissummer. Still, adjusted forinflation, an ounce of goldremains below its 1980peak of $850, which trans-lates to about $2,400in current dollars. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THINKING ABOUTTHINKING. Scientists whohunt for “intelligencegenes” used to thinkthere were fewer thanhalf a dozen of them.

In recent years, theydetermined there maybe at least 1,000 — eachwith just a tiny effecton the differences inpeople’s IQ. A study re-leased yesterday foundnew evidence thatmany genes play a rolein intelligence, but sci-entists still couldn’t pin-point the specific genesinvolved.

“We can’t find the ef-fects of any individualgenes that are largeenough to seem worthworrying about,” saidpsychologist EricTurkheimer at the Uni-versity of Virginia.

The new DNA study,reported in the journalMolecular Psychiatry,found many genes worktogether to shape intel-ligence much like thedifferent instruments ofan orchestra that playin sync.

As important asgenes are indeterminingintelligence, they don’tact alone, and the roleof one’s upbringing andexperiences cannot beignored.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Semen-spikedwater proves apricey prankA U.S. man convicted of ejaculatinginto a co-worker’s water bottle hasbeen ordered to pay the womanmore than $27,000 US.

The Los Angeles Times says ajudge on Monday ordered MichaelKevin Lallana to pay the woman forloss of wages, therapy and medicalexpenses.

Lallana was convicted earlier thisyear of two misdemeanour countsof battery.

Prosecutors say Lallana depositedhis semen twice last year in the wa-ter bottle of a co-worker atNorthwestern Mutual Mortgage Co.in Newport Beach, Calif.

The woman drank from the bot-tle both times, throwing the firstone away after detecting a foultaste.

The second time she sent the bot-tle to a lab for testing.

FIGHT THE SIGNSOF AGING —WITH ACTION

Diana Nyad, you rock.Mick Jagger, you also rock,

if for slightly differentreasons.

Diana Nyad rocks because,at an age when other people

are adjusting their Depends, she attemptsto swim from Cuba to Key West in shark-infested waters.

OK, she only got halfway yesterday be-fore they pulled her out of the water, butshe spent 29 hours in the Caribbean andwas blown 24 kilometres off course. A lot

of people have trouble getting out of the bathtub at 61. I love what she said before she set out: “I think this is

the prime. When one reaches this age, you still have abody that’s strong but now you have a better mind.”

Meanwhile, Sir Mick is rocking the charts withrelevant new music when other people his age have the

dial permanently stuck on1967.

That was a very goodyear, but come on. We can’tgo to the mall or the super-market without beingtossed back kicking andscreaming into 1967, butMick and his new BFFs havenailed a perfect blend ofreggae, hip-hop and soul torescue the beach blanketbingo from Katy Perry.

As part of a supergroupcalled Superheavy, theworld’s oldest Stone joinsthe world’s youngest — JossStone — along with Dami-an, he of the nextgeneration of Marleys, andDave Stewart, another oldperson with young ideas —he turns 59 next month.

So who cares? Why both-er with geezers, even if theyare a notch up from thenorm on the spry scale?

Because they are choos-ing to die young as late as they can. Life’s candle is briefenough, but for some reason we choose to snuff it outprematurely. We’re all in this together — we can blamethe advertising industry, Hollywood or Generation X, Yand Z, but those of us still in our “prime” start whiningabout our aches and pains they way we used to complainabout hangovers and sunburns and other fallouts ofwretched excess.

Yep, parts fall off, but that’s no reason to give up. Youdon’t have to swim the whole Caribbean or crack the Bill-board Hot 100 (although there is a tune called Moves LikeJagger by Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera at number 25with a bullet on the Hot 100) but how much better is lifewhen you put it all out there?

Diana Nyad and Mick Jagger prove there is life after 30,40, 50 or 60. Or until there isn’t.

Then, and only then, will I stop trying to get out of thetub.

Resuscitating the FinalDestination franchise

The folks behind Final Des-tination 5 want you to seetheir movie, but they un-derstand if your faith in thefranchise is a little shaken.

“We wanted to say toeverybody, ‘This is a seriousmovie that we took serious-ly. It’s well-made and it isnot what you would expect,

given the last two or threemovies in the franchise,’”Perry says.

The incredibly candidproducer admits the fran-chise — about groups ofpeople who cheat death on-ly to have the grim reapercatch up with them in in-creasingly inventive ways— lost its way somewhat onthe way to No. 5.

“I think we had lost whatmade the original special,”

he says. “The first one wasable to handle that balancebetween humour and darkportent, and some of thesubsequent ones, we wentso far into making it overthe top that it actually be-came distancing.”

To help solve that issue,Perry and companybrought in a new director,Steven Quale. “Steve madethis one grounded and pal-pable and real,” Perry says.

Quale proved the rightman for the job for gettingpast what didn’t workabout the previous films.

“I don’t like the wordcamp,” he says. “I am one that really hates thatkind of stuff. I mean, a funmovie like Austin Powers isgreat, but that’s what it is.It’s a parody. And I didn’twant that to happen to thismovie. And I thought someof the earlier movies may

have been going in a direc-tion that I don’t like.”

And while Quale’s direct-ing resumé isn’t terriblylong, his technical savvycame in extremely handy,since Final Destination 5was shot in 3D.

“Having directed the sec-ond unit and done some vi-sual effects for Avatar, Ihave years of experienceworking in the 3D realm,”he says.

Original movie balanced ‘humour and dark portent’ with groups of people who cheated death Can a new director and 3D imaging breathe life into Final Destination 5? Metro investigates

Movie reviews The Help. Screen times

In 2000, whenthe first FinalDestinationmovie was re-leased, no onecould have

predicted the success of thehorror franchise. No onethat is, except for maybeDevon Sawa, the Canadianborn actor who played AlexBrowning, the film’s char-acter gifted with secondsight.

At the bloody heart ofeach of these gory horrormovies is a character withpremonitions of the future.Usually he or she has fore-warning that all his/hergood looking friends willdie in the most terrible wayimaginable. When the vi-sion comes true — usuallypreceded by the tell taleline, “Something’swrong!”— whoever sur-vives ends up dying any-way, in increasinglycomplicated ways. With Fi-nal Destination 5 openingthis weekend it seemed likean appropriate time to lookback at other movie charac-ters that have had creepy vi-sions.

In The Gift, the movieSam Raimi directed just be-fore spinning the web forSpider-Man 1, 2 and 3, CateBlanchett plays a psychicwho helps the police locatea missing girl.

Billy Bob Thornton,Blanchett’s co-star and themovie’s screenwriter, basedthe character on his moth-er, Virginia ThorntonFaulkner.

Like the character in themovie the psychic Mrs.Faulkner was a widow whoraised three boys and usedher extra sensory ability to

make extra money. In the hauntingly surreal

Don’t Look Now, John Bax-ter (Donald Sutherland in acurly wig) has a premoni-tion that something awfulis about to happen to hisdaughter. Sure enough, sec-onds later she falls in apond and drowns.

Later in Venice, John andhis wife (Julie Christie)meet an elderly psychicwho claims to see appari-tions of the dead daughter,which triggers John’s ownotherworldly visions.

Adapted from a shortstory by Daphne Du Mauri-er the psychic thriller hasbecome a cult classic sinceits release in 1973, inspiringfilmmakers like Danny“Slumdog Millionaire”Boyle, who cites it as one ofhis favourite movies andE=MC2 a Top Twenty hit byBig Audio Dynamite.

Finally, some call thesepremonitions ESP, others,like author Stephen King,call them The Shining.

In King’s novel, StanleyKubrick’s film and the tele-vision movie of the samename, both Danny Tor-rance, the telepathic son ofthe winter caretakers of theremote Overlook Hotel andchef Dick Hallorann (Scat-man Crothers) have visionsand premonitions.

In a world where under-graduate degrees are adime a dozen and most in-dustries are overflowingwith over-qualified candi-dates,

I knew that getting awell-rounded educationwas a necessity. My parentsalso always encouraged meto go after what I loved todo and not use my educa-tion strictly as a careerpath.

That is how I ended upgraduating from the Uni-versity of Toronto with anEnglish Specialist degreeand no intention of apply-ing my new-found educa-tion directly to a career.

Knowing I would have to

enrol in post-graduate stud-ies and with colleges offer-ing extensive programoptions, I quickly learnedthat there were many dif-ferent career paths thatpiqued my interest.

After speaking with peo-ple involved in the indus-tries I wanted to enter into,training in public relationsstood out among the rest.

It offered an opportunityto work in an industrywhere I could combine mylearned skills with my pas-sions.

While I was focused onpursuing a career in a veryspecific area of PR, many ofmy peers were more fo-cused on whether to go intoagency, corporate or non-profit.

Few had considered ifthere was a specific area orparticular clients theywanted to work with.

It wasn’t until I startedmy internship and my boss

shared her school-to-industry transition storythat I realized how impor-tant being focused andknowledgeable in a specificarea could be.

If you can position your-self as the go-to person inyour company, you essen-tially become invaluable toyour colleagues.

While many industrieslike PR will give you oppor-tunities to work with vari-ous clients in manydifferent industries, it is im-portant to consider yourpersonal brand and whatyou want people to knowyou for.

If you are passionateabout technology and canbecome an expert in thatarea, there will be more op-portunities for you to workwith clients who interestyou.

Once you establish whatyou are known for, you canthen expand as opportuni-ties become available. I wasable to secure an internshipwith a notable start-upcompany because of mypassion for cars, as theirmain client is well posi-tioned in the automotiveindustry.

I have the opportunity tonot only focus on my pas-sion, but also delve intomany of the interesting op-portunities that an agencysetting offers.

WORKPLACE

LAW

DANIEL [email protected]: @DANLUBLIN

EMPLOYER ERRORStled to. Employers oftentry anyway. This usuallyleads them straight tocourt where judges showthem little sympathy and,as in one recent case, caneven award additionaldamages simply for havingtried to take advantage ofan employee’s ignorance.

Probation Employees arenot automatically on pro-bation when they startemployment unless theysign an employment con-tract that permits termina-tion, for any reason,during that period. Manyemployers misunderstandthis rule and often to theirdetriment. Further, thereis no right to unilaterallyplace an employee on pro-bation after she startswork, which a recentcourt found was aconstructive termination.

Resignations In order to re-sign you must clearly andunequivocally wish to

leave – and not to return.It is not a resignation ifyou are asked orencouraged to leave, nor isit a resignation if you areforced to leave.

Workplace investigations

To rely on misconduct asgrounds for discipline ordismissal, allegations mustbe thoroughly investigatedby a trained and neutralparty. This rarely happens.Instead, human resourcesmanagers investigate bygoing through the mo-tions, often just to say thatthey have. Courts routine-ly overturn the results ofthese “investigations” al-though, ironically, employ-ees caught lying duringthe investigation will givetheir employers cause fordismissal when their ini-tial behavior did not.

Watermelon’ssavoury side

While the fruit is normally eaten sliced, the right in-gredients can make it the star of appetizers and snacks

Nothing beats biting into awedge of refreshing water-melon when the tempera-ture is soaring.

It contains an antioxi-dant known as lycopene,which gives it its deeppink colour, as well as vita-mins A and C. Plus it’s lowin calories and has no fat,sodium or cholesterol.“What’s interesting aboutlycopene is we usuallyhear about it in relation totomatoes, but watermelonis actually the lycopeneleader among fresh pro-duce. It has almost doublethe amount of lycopene ona cup-per-cup basis whencompared with raw toma-toes,” says registered dieti-tian Cara Rosenbloom.

Most of the research onthe anti-cancer propertiesof lycopene have focusedon prostate cancer, saidRosenbloom.

Watermelon HavartiStacks with DilledRanch and GrilledChickenThe creaminess of havarticheese mixed with freshdill and savoury ranchdressing balances thesweetness of the watermel-on, delivering a petite yetsatisfying option.

Preparation:

1 Place one round of wa-termelon in centre ofeach of 4 serving plates.Trim cheese into samesize circle as watermel-on and place one cheeseround on each of thefour plated slices of wa-termelon. Top with an-other piece ofwatermelon and cheese.

2 Clump chicken in evenportions on top of wa-

Murray’s title reign: C’est fini

The two-time defendingRogers Cup men’s champi-on is heading home earlyfrom this year’s tourna-ment.

Britain’s Andy Murraycrashed out in stunningfashion in Montreal yester-day, falling 6-3, 6-1 in thesecond round to Kevin An-derson.

Murray, is the tourna-ment’s first defendingchampion to lose an open-ing match since Marat Safinwas knocked out in 2001.

Meanwhile, Canada’sVasek Pospisil advanced tothe second round with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Argenti-na’s Juan Ignacio Chela.

The 155th-ranked playerfrom Vernon, B.C., will takeon Roger Federer in thenext round. The Swiss mas-ter lost last year’s final toMurray and is ranked thirdin the world and third atthis year’s tournament.

There will be no rematchthis year.

“I’ve always played verywell here and today I could-n’t get anything going,”Murray said. “I started bothsets really, really badly,

which doesn’t help againstsomeone who serves likeKevin.”

The six-foot-eight Ander-son is ranked 35th in theworld and had only everbeaten one top-10 playergoing into the match — No-vak Djokovic in 2008.

Anderson landed 65 percent of his first serves andhad five aces at Uniprix Sta-dium.

“(It was) not exactly whatI was expecting,” Andersonsaid of Murray’s perform-ance.

“And at the same time Ithink ... the way I played,the way I served today — Ithink I did make it prettytough for him.”

Murray won the 2009Rogers Cup in Montreal andsuccessfully defended his ti-tle last year in Toronto.

His head dropped andhis shoulders slumped afterhe drove a game-point shotright into the middle of thenet to put Anderson up 5-1in the second set.

“I just felt very slow,”Murray said. “The gameseemed to be going so fast.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Speed, wheels and brakesBuick claims the Regal GS delivers zero-to-100-km/h runs in the low seven-secondthreshold, which is decent, but notspectacular for the 1,680-kilogram sedan.

The GS features 19- and optional 20-inchwheels. As well, it’s braking has beenupgraded with a four-wheel-disc packagefrom Brembo, a company that supplies thestopping power for the world’s most elitecars.

The latest Regal has German origins, so outfitting it with a good engine and hardware geared for a fun

driving experience is a natural extension of the platform. Hey, get used to the “new Buick.”

A performance Buick? You bet

SuspensionPerformance-oriented upgrading has also beenbestowed upon the GS. Chief among these arespecial “HiPerStruts” for the front suspensionthat help reduce torque steer, which is thetendency for high-powered front-wheel-drive ve-hicles to pull to one side under hard acceleration.

The driver can choose standard, sport and ex-tra-firm suspension settings and for a more sport-ing feel, the degree of power-steering boost isreduced as suspension firmness increases.

EngineWhat will give this Buick its performance chopsis a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder thatBuick promises will deliver at least 255horsepower and a stout 295 pound-feet oftorque.

By comparison, the Regal CXL’s optional 2.0-litre turbo engine produces 220 horses and 258pound-feet of torque. Much of GS’s added outputcomes from increased turbocharger boost pres-sure along with freer flowing exhaust plumping.

Buick continues to fashion ahipper image with the newRegal GS significantly en-hancing the brand’s stock.

The GS — short for GranSport, a performance label

that Buick first used back inthe mid-1960s — will beadded to the Regal lineuplater this year, showing theworld that there really canbe such a thing as a per-formance Buick.

The new model also pro-vides one more enginechoice for its new midsize

platform. At one end of thespectrum, the 2012 Regalwill be offered with a newgasoline-electric hybridcombo, called eAssist, thatdelivers significantly en-hanced fuel economy. Atthe other end, the new GScomes with an enhanced-output turbocharged four-

cylinder engine and match-ing performance/luxurycontent to challenge similarmid-size sedans from Eu-rope and Japan.

Just as General Motors’Cadillac division is chang-ing its image with the high-output CTS-V coupe andsedan, the GS will undoubt-

NO NEED TO NEGOTIATE, WITH

COMPARISON-SHOPPING SITE

Supposedly, manywomen dislike the carbuying experience be-cause they don’t likenegotiating. But frommy experience, womenseem to be veryeffective negotiators.

AUTO PILOT

MIKE [email protected]

In fact I would saythat when thewomen in my life— my mother, mywife, and mydaughter — negoti-

ate with me they seem tohave the process nailed.Basically it goes like this: Ilose. They win.

So maybe it’s moreabout the particular negoti-ating culture found insome new car dealerships,that women don’t care forso much.

A lot of men don’t carefor it either. One of them isAndrew Tai, co-founder ofunhaggle.com.

Tai started the businessafter thinking about his carbuying experience last fall.

“I quickly decided onwhich car I wanted … Butthat final leg of the buyingprocess, negotiating aprice, was so laborious,frustrating and time inten-sive … The MSRP didn’tmean that much … To fig-ure out the true price ofthe car I had to go to eachdealership and negotiate.”

Once you’ve settled on aparticular make and modelof vehicle, you can go on

unhaggle.com, and for $47,the website will get the ap-propriate new car dealersin your area to vie for yourbusiness — they will allsend you their best priceson the vehicle you desire.

And according to Tai,the price quotes “really arethe drive-away numbers.”No further negotiation re-quired.

There are a number ofonline entities in Canada

where you can comparisonshop for new cars, andeven complete an onlinepurchase, butunhaggle.com appears tobe the only one where youcan get “marketplace”quotes from a number ofindependent dealerships.In the U.S. marketplace,however, you’ll find sever-al entities based on thismodel.

If you think dealerships

might be unhappy withthis development, thinkagain.

The Internet has beenaround a while, and dealer-ships are very aware thatsome customers want to dobusiness this way and thisway only.

Most have “Internet” de-partments, who dealspecifically with onlinecustomers.

“Dealerships recognizethe type and seriousness ofthe customer we’re bring-ing them,” notes Tai.

“These customers reallywant to get as much doneas possible online, withoutcoming to the dealership.”

And that includes creditapplications and establish-ing a value for their trade-in.

The latter is accom-plished via unhaggle.com’s

partnership with CanadianBlack Book, which hasbeen establishing whole-sale trade in values inCanada for decades.

You choose the dealer-ships you want to receivequotes from. If a dealershipis not yet signed on withunhaggle.com, they will beinvited to participate.

The site has been upsince April, and Tai notesthat its customers havemade deals in every majorCanadian city, and with vir-tually all major car brandsrepresented. (But so far it isan English-only site.)

“What we’re doing isn’texactly new,” says Tai.

“On the Internet, youcan compare prices onpractically anything. Thisis trend that reaches acrossalmost every industry. Newcars is that one last piece.”

Real or toy, cardesigns are aligned

You’d be surprised how much work goes into toy cars

A Hot Wheels version of the Dodge Challenger required

approval from Chrysler.

JIL MCINTOSH/FOR METRO

You’ve probably seen pic-tures of designers workingon new vehicles: sketchingoutlines, taking measure-ments and working on pro-totypes. The process isn’tmuch different when thecar is only a fraction as big.

“It’s definitely a lot ofwork, and you want tomake them interesting andunique,” says Eric Tscherne,a former designer for HotWheels toys.

“You’re dealing with a lit-tle bit of material. We pushthose boundaries to keep itfresh and new.”

As with most real-car de-signs, the first step “is to getthe idea out of your brain,on a notebook or a piece ofpaper,” Tscherne says.

“Those first little ‘napkinsketches’ have most of theinformation. From there,you draw a nicer drawing oruse 3-D computer softwareto realize it.

“You design it to meet acost or a specification. Ifyou’re integrating technolo-

gy, if you have to integrate abattery or a switch, it willdefine the size.”

Depending on the toy,the design then moves to acomputerized machine thatbuilds a prototype, or to amodel builder who pro-duces a clay model. This iscast into material to createa tooling model, which inturn is cut into steel to pro-duce the molds for the toys.

A regular 1⁄64th HotWheels can take six to eightmonths from initial sketchto finished product, while amore complex toy can taketwo years or more. Design-ers must consider the storesas well, Tscherne says.

“I’ve got a shelf at Wal-

Mart that’s 18 inches high,so my box can be 17-1⁄2 inch-es. The more you designtoys, you realize there areparameters that you neverthought you’d be workingwith. The retailer isn’t go-ing to buy special shelves tostock your product.”

Making a real car into atoy requires the automak-er’s approval, which cantake a long time; high-endcompanies like Ferrari arevery particular and willsend a toy back severaltimes for minor tweaks.

Tscherne preferred de-signing vehicles from hisimagination: “The only per-son you have to impress isyour own boss.”

Engine coolant is a year-round concern

Most people only thinkabout their vehicle’s an-tifreeze/coolant during ex-treme weather conditions... or when it’s too late andtheir overheated vehicle isstranded on the side of theroad. The truth is, an-tifreeze/coolant is a year-round concern.

“As the name implies,antifreeze/coolant per-forms two functions,” ex-plains Jay Buckley, ASEcertified master mechanicand training manager forPrestone.

“It helps keep the en-gine’s cooling system fromfreezing up in cold weath-er and from boiling over inhot weather.”

In order to help lowerexhaust emissions, mod-ern engines run at veryhigh operating tempera-tures. Cooling system tem-

peratures of 110 C are notuncommon. What’s more,many engines are con-structed of dissimilar met-als, which can lead tocorrosion. All of this putsmore stress on the an-tifreeze/coolant.

A high-quality an-tifreeze/coolant, like Pre-stone LongLife, which isdesigned for use with anyantifreeze/coolant in anyvehicle make or model,can have a long servicelife.

However, it’s still im-portant to monitor thecoolant level and condi-tion regularly.

Virtually all modern ve-hicles have a pressurizedcooling system with a plas-tic coolant expansion tankclearly visible under thehood.

There are usually “high”

and “low” marks on thetank to make things easier.

For added conveniencewhen topping up, and toensure the correct wa-ter/coolant ratio is main-tained, Prestone comes ina premixed formulation of50 per cent coolant and 50per cent demineralizedwater.

But it’s not enough sim-ply to check the level.

A professional techni-cian should also test thecondition of the coolantand the coolant concentra-tion to ensure that it does-n’t need to be changed.Because antifreeze/coolantservice intervals can betwo years or longer, it’seasy to forget about it.

For year-round protec-tion, get your cooling sys-tem checked today.NEWS CANADA

Both in summer and winter, cooling system serves vitalpurpose Drivers should be aware of its importance

When was the last time you checked your coolant level and condition?

NEWS CANADA


If you think that using a cardboard wind-shield shade is sufficient to keep the heatout, the simple fact is that the heat al-ready got into the car. To keep it cool in-side and the heat outside, check out theCool Cap by Reflectionite. Because it se-curely attaches on the outside, the compa-ny claims that the reflective material willsignificantly reduce the amount of heatentering the interior. itscoolinhere.com.

Many youngsters grew up with toy con-struction vehicles. Hey, who didn’t have aTonka truck or front-end loader? Thename Tonka means “great” or “big,” and isderived from Lake Minnetonka that’s nearthe company’s Mound, Minn., headquar-ters.

Electric AlaskaOut here, you want to focus on experiencing life, not worry about

making it home The Chevy Volt makes the perfect playmate

Most hotel black-out curtains do areasonable jobkeeping daylight

out when sleep is the goal,but sometimes, it’s just notenough.

On this morning, after 12nights of Alaskan sleep dep-rivation during the seasonof the midnight sun, gettinginto a decent functionalmood isn’t easy.

It doesn’t help that theStarbucks on Anchorage’s5th Ave. messes up my javafix and then toasts a garlicbagel instead of a multi-grain one.

And what about the factthat, as event planners, mywife Lisa Calvi and I havechanged hotels 10 times inless than two weeks duringan extended business trip toAlaska?

We pack our suitcasesand office supplies into thehatchback. This is a normalcar, I remind myself, stuff-ing the last of the suitcasesinto the cargo area, which ismassive with the rear seatsfolded down.

I head south out of An-chorage toward the KenaiPeninsula. Lisa and I bookeda six-hour glacier cruise outof Whittier and have an ap-pointment at the “tunnel”which is the only land con-nection from the port ofWhittier to the rest of theworld.

As my brooding levelsout, the silent, comfortableride of Chevrolet’s all-new

Volt reminds me that we areindeed running on electrici-ty and will be for about 50kilometres.

It doesn’t matter thatwe’re driving about 300kilometres that day. Oncethe battery runs down, anonboard four-cylinder gaso-line-powered generator willkick in and extend ourrange for another 500 or sokilometres. Sure we mightconsume a little fossil fuel,but there is no pesky “my-battery-is-running-low-range-anxiety” with theVolt.

The idea of leaving homefor a weekend road tripwith an electric vehicle isnormally a dicey proposi-tion, unless the plan doesn’tinvolve much driving, be-cause range is short andcharing takes a long time ...if you can find somewhereto charge.

That makes the ChevyVolt a compelling alterna-tive. It’s an electric car thatdoesn’t need a back-up vehi-cle beside it in the driveway.

From Whittier, the cruisethrough Prince WilliamSound is a spellbinding af-fair that stops briefly at a re-mote fish hatchery wheresalmon are jumping, rafts ofsea otters are frisking andbald eagles swooping. It’slike an advertisement foranimal heaven.

Back in Whittier, I powerup the Volt. The batterycharge is depleted but thefour-cylinder gasoline gen-erator engine keeps thecharge between 20 and 29per cent so we’re not con-cerned about anything but

making the tunnel appoint-ment time to get us back tothe main road.

The Volt’s is not a fad caror something that has to bebabied or fussed over.

Plug it into a 110-voltpower supply overnight or a220-volt outlet for a fewhours and it’s ready to fulfillmost commuting require-ments.

GARRY [email protected] MEDIA

Alaska is a delight for nature lovers and people who

covet the outdoors. This dovetails nicely with the Volt’s

large storage capacity to pack along plenty of gear.

WHEELBASE MEDIA

The Volt is an electric car that you

don’t always have to charge up.

Want a family sedan orwagon that prioritizes reli-ability, sensibility and ex-ceptional fuel mileage?Consider something fromHonda, Subaru, Mazda orToyota.

Want a family sedan orwagon that’s big on style,refinement and advancedtechnology?

Can’t afford that BMWor Mercedes? TheVolkswagen Passat mightbe the answer.

The last-generation carfeatured sedan, wagon or“Comfort Coupe” four-door body styles, twoavailable engines,available All Wheel Drive(AWD) and plenty of high-tech goodies.

EngineVW’s two-litreturbo four-cylin-der engine with 200horsepower was standardon all models. The automak-er’s 3.6-litre, 280-horsepow-er V6 was also available.

Common issuesAn engine that seems to“misfire” or “hesitate” islikely suffering from badignition coil packs, a com-mon VW and Audiproblem on older models.

Note that the morecomplicated 3.6-litreengine suffers from a po-tential oil-pump boltdefect that could result inengine failure. As such,opt for the two-litreengine wherever possible,and get any extended war-ranty offered on Passatmodels powered by thelarger engine.

VerdictUltimately, the big drawsto a last-generation Passatwill be the driving experi-ence, styling and relativelyaffordable blend of luxuryand high-tech. Expect topay a premium in the mar-ket for the vehicle, repaircosts, fuel and insurance.

What owners likeFor most owners, the looks,refinement, performance anddriving experience of the Passat werebig draws. A high-quality interior feel,plenty of power with either engine andlong list of bells and whistles all earnedpraise.

What ownersdislikeCommon complaintsinclude poor gas mileage on V6-equipped models, a stiff ride, and atrunk design that allows water andsnow to spill into the cargo area whenthe trunk is opened.
