The Interns

score big abroad

BY ADAM [email protected]

A Woodbridge hip-hop crew has made its mark on the international stage.

The Interns, a 12-member team based out of DLM Dance Studio, captured sixth place in the under-14 intermediate division at the UDO World Street Dance Champion-ships in Blackpool, England late last month.

“Everyone was really excited and really nervous (going into the final),” dancer Alexandra Blades said. “We just really wanted to do our best and kill it like (our coach) Alycia Santilli knew we could.”

The Interns are the first Canadian team to compete in the international event, which draws performers from A $5-million Windseeker ride, like the one shown above at Canada’s Wonderland, was shut down at

Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif., due to issues with its safety system.

BY JEREMY [email protected]

Canada’s Wonderland has shut-down its Windseeker ride after revel-ers at one of its parent company’s other parks were left stranded at 90 metres for 3-1/2 hours.

Staff at Wonderland, which is owned by Ohio company Cedar Fair Entertainment, said the Windseek-er was shuttered last Friday for an internal review of the ride.

This is the second time in two years the ride has been closed due to safety concerns, after the ride needed attention soon after being introduced at the park in 2011.

On Sept. 26, Rogers TV at 244 Newkirk Rd. in Richmond Hill will hold an open house where people can learn how to become involved with the station and develop their own local community show.

There is a definite need for a music-related program on their schedule.

There are a lot of talented artists out there these days, including some right here in York Region, but they need a platform in which to break through the clutter and be heard.

I envision a half-hour, jam-packed with informative and entertaining features and pro-files on bands who live or will be playing in the area, playlists, videos, interviews, maybe even the odd performance.

Yeah, ROCKthusiast TV. I like the sound of that. Do you?

Let me know via e-mail at [email protected].

—Gilles LeBlanc. Follow him on Twitter @ROCKthusiast.

Caritas hosts its 24th annual Together event at 12 noon Sunday, Oct. 14 at Pres-idente Banquet Hall, 1133 Creditstone Rd., in Concord.

According to the organi-zation, the Together event aims to increase awareness about the struggles and suc-cesses of lives that have been touched by the realities of addictions.

George Chuvalo, a former Canadian heavyweight box-ing champ is this year’s guest speaker.

Mr. Chuvalo brings the reality of addiction home as he shares his personal life battles outside of the ring.

By special request, Vin-cenzo Benenati, 2005 Cana-dian Idol finalist, will perform a few of his favourite songs.

Mr. Benenati is fighting a rare form of cancer. His relentless and boundless spirit is testimony to the per-son that he is.

Caritas is well known for its success in providing a 25-month residential reha-bilitation program.

For more information, check them out on the web at www.caritas.ca or on Facebook at Caritas School of Life.

It’s that time of year again to celebrate all things you are thankful for in your life: fam-ily, friends and health.

But it is also a time to share with those less fortunate than us.

On behalf of SavourYork Region restaurant week orga-nizers Nadia Cerelli-Fiore and Elvira Caria, you are invited to join in the fight against hun-ger and support the 6th annu-al SavourYork Region Thanks-giving food drive in support of the Vaughan Food Bank.

The kick-off event takes place at Fortinos, Woodbridge on Saturday, Oct. 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event will include delicious eats from Pizzaville, Rich’s Products, Mokarabia espresso coffee and food sam-pling from Casa Italia. Plus, Z103.5 radio will be on loca-tion, organizers say.

You can help make a differ-ence by donating non-perish-able food items or making a monetary donation.

For more about the event, go to www.savouryorkregion.com.

To learn more about the local food bank, visit www.vaughanfoodbank.ca.

Diana Ponte will celebrate the grand opening of her company, Call Me Cupcake, Gourmet Cupcakes & Sweets Bouique in Maple, on Oct. 13 with a special event.

All proceeds from the sale of cupcakes on that day will be donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association of Ontario’s York Region chapter, she says.

Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, Maple/Kleinburg Councillor Marilyn Iafrate, and other local politicians, along with a representative of the mental health association will be in attendance.

York’s mental health asso-ciation offers early interven-tion for youth with psychosis.

In addition, it needs fund-ing to help carry out a recent-ly piloted group for students with self-harming behaviour.

Also, funding is needed to help provide additional sup-port for families affected by mental illness. This support includes educational work-shops, support groups and resource materials.

For more information, call Ms Ponte at 905-553-5233 or visit them on the web at callmecupcake.ca. The shop is at 9929 Keele St.

Toronto police have released two photographs in hopes of finding more clues in relation to the murder of a Vaughan man and his friend. (Photos available online at yorkregion.com)

Warsame Ali, from Con-cord, and Suleiman Ali, both 26, not related, were killed last Tuesday near Jamestown Crescent, in Etobicoke, at about 1:20 a.m. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, just outside Greenhol-me Middle Junior School.

The pair become the fifth and sixth Somali-Canadian men to be killed in Toronto since early June.

“...We don’t have lots to go on and limited witnesses so what we are looking for is for some of their friends to speak with us so we can find out what they were doing in the area,” Det. Paul Wardon said.

Police said the suspect is black, five-feet, 10-inches tall and was seen running from the scene in a black hooded sweatshirt.

If you have information, call police at 416-808-2300 or 416-808-7400, Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS, leave a tip online or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).

If you’ve ever wanted to give wheelchair basketball a spin, now’s your chance.

The Vaughan City Lashers Wheelchair Basketball Team launches its second season tonight at Vellore Village Community Center, 1 Villa Royale Ave., in Woodbridge.

To mark the occasion the tram is hosting a Sports Day in Canada event featuring a chance to have a go at wheel-chair basketball tonight from 8:30 to 10 p.m.

Jerry Tonello, coach of the gold medal-winning 2012 Canadian Wheelchair Bas-ketball Team, will be joined by other paralympic athletes to share their experiences and bring you a best-of video montage from the 2012 Par-alympic Games in London, England.

The Vaughan City Lasher’s, named in memory of former national team player David Lash, competed in the Cana-dian Wheelchair Basketball

League (CWBL) for the first time in the 2011-12 season.

Facing rule changes for this year, the team has yet to decide if it will compete in the CWBL finals, which will determine whether or not the Lasher’s compete in the Great Lakes Conference, form a new conference, compete in another league or simply play and promote the game locally.

That decision must be made by Oct. 31.

Public high school teachers vote 94 % in favour of strike

BY KIM [email protected]

York Region’s high school teachers have added their support to a growing tide of teacher union strike mandates sweeping the province.

The teacher/occasional teacher bargain-ing unit of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation in York voted 94 per cent in favour of a strike mandate last night.

“The membership has sent a very strong message to the government today,” said Col-leen Ireland, district 16 president.

York’s 4,800 elementary teachers, mean-while, will vote on a strike mandate Oct. 4.

Bargaining units provincewide have been voting in record numbers in support of a strike, according to York’s Elementary Teach-ers Federation of Ontario president David Clegg.

Contracts between the teachers and the public school board expired Aug. 31.

The provincial government passed leg-islation imposing a deal on Ontario public teachers and allowing the minister of educa-tion to prevent or prohibit teacher strikes, but teacher unions are still allowed strike votes under the Ontario Labour Relations Act.

“We’re just going to follow the steps and the government will do what it has to do,” Ms

Ireland said.The votes are part of an escalating protest

against the provincial deal that freezes wages — except for grid movement for newer teach-ers — cuts sick days in half to 10 and prevents teachers from banking sick days and cashing them out at retirement.

Some teachers are withdrawing from vol-untary duties in protest, leading to random cancellations of curriculum nights, sports teams and extracurricular clubs across York Region.

Ms Ireland said that her members are now waiting for advice from provincial union leaders as talks continue at the local level to determine what the provincial Memorandum of Agreement means.

York Region’s teacher unions, like many across the province, have a good relationship with the local public school board “but this legislation has forced us into adversarial steps and we don’t want to be there.

“You can’t just impose legislation and then say, ‘Let’s all play nice in the sandbox’. This is a multi-faceted process ... a monumental undertaking.”

Students, meanwhile, plan an province-wide rally at Queen’s Park Saturday. They will be, according to the online flyer, “standing in support of Ontario teachers”.

BY TERESA [email protected]

Rogers Public School students jointed the movement to get their extra-curricular activities back.

This morning, a group of grades 6, 7 and 8 students walked out of class to demon-strate with signs and chants just outside the school’s doors in hopes of getting the activities reinstated at the school.

Kaitlyn and Alyssa Ferrera-Webster, twin 12-year-old sisters who organized the pro-test, said they want the government to hear what they have to say.

“What the government is doing is unfair to teachers and unfair to us,” Kaitlyn said, holding a sign in front of the school.

When she and her sister found out there would be no volleyball and some clubs would not be offered due to teachers pro-

testing provincial legislation, the duo, with some friends, decided to organize a peace-ful walkout to make their voices a little louder.

“We need these teams and clubs because they are fun, teach us to be independent and how to work as a team,” Kaitlyn said.

Teachers unions argue Bill 115, which imposes two-year wage freezes and pro-hibits them from striking, infringes on their right to collective bargaining.

Kaitlyn and Alyssa’s mother, Minerva Ferrera, was on hand to support her daugh-ters during their protest.

“I couldn’t be more proud,” she said. Despite what people think, the young

students know what the issues are and find the government’s treatment of teach-ers unfair.

It’s in our nature to be healthy, yet we fight itne of the joys of being a grand-parent is getting to see the world again through the eyes of a child.

Recently, I found my three-year-old grandson picking at a scab on his arm. It brought a flood of memories because I used to do the same thing.

It was amazing to watch the blood from an injury dry and, over days, form a scab. Before that scab was ready to fall off, I would pick at it to see what was underneath, and, wonder of wonders, it was fresh, pink skin.

It’s amazing how our bodies regener-ate. We get hit and bruises form as blood leaks into tissues. Over time, the dark blue colour is diluted and may move before disappearing.

Even broken bones will heal. And skin, our largest organ, is a miracle layer. It keeps the rest of us inside and every-thing else outside. It wards off infections, sheds water, cools us in hot weather and repairs itself.

Still, viruses, bacteria and parasites are ever-alert for opportunities to pen-etrate our protective layer.

As well as frequent nicks and cuts, we have natural openings like mouths, ears and noses, each with its own protective mechanisms. If an invading organism gets inside, we have an incredible barrier,

O treat more problems. Another part is the ever-increasing

cost of drugs. And with a medical system, people

are more likely to seek help. Still, health care costs can’t continue

to rise forever. Governments are always looking for ways to reduce costs, often by offloading a greater share of the bur-den to patients.

We must pay greater attention to keeping our bodies and minds healthy and able to heal. Yet we are making it difficult for our defences to work.

We allow things to be sold that should not be called food. Many have no nutri-tive value and lead to obesity, salt imbal-ance and allergies.

We spew chemicals into the environ-ment by the millions of tonnes.

Molecules pour into us through air, water and food, overwhelming or weak-ening our protective immune systems.

“Our behaviour is the result of a basic failure to recognize that human beings are an inseparable part of nature and that we cannot damage it severely with-out severely damaging ourselves,” Har-vard University doctors Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein said.

Medical literature tells us the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes,

Alzheimer’s and many more problems are though healthy diet and exercise.

Our bodies have evolved to move, yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work.

Environmental factors contribute to 36,000 deaths and 13 per cent of the disease burden in Canada annually, the World Health Organization concluded in 2007. The Canadian Medical Association claims air pollution causes more than 20,000 premature deaths a year.

And scientists estimate environmen-tal factors affecting heart and respira-tory disease, cancer and birth problems contribute to anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 deaths, according to author and environmental lawyer David R. Boyd.

It’s easier, more effective and cheaper to let healthy bodies fight off disease and infections than to weaken those defence mechanisms and then compensate for them medically.

If we want a stable health system, we must put more resources into reducing pollution and environmental degrada-tion and creating a way of life that keeps bodies and minds happy and in good health.

Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation editorial and communications special-ist Ian Hanington.

our immune system, constantly gener-ating new proteins to fight off infections we’ve never even encountered.

We have a defence system that rec-ognizes and fights against any cell with a genetic makeup different from our own — which is why it’s so difficult to transplant organs, tissues or cells.

Yet, pregnant women support a fetus that is genetically different for nine months.

Thanks to evolution, our bodies have powerful ways to ward off illness and infection and enable us to live long and healthy lives.

Why, then, do health costs climb at unsustainable and frightening rates?

Part of it is medical care has become so sophisticated that doctors are able to

VAUGHAN CITIZEN

E D I T O R I A L

arvest season is upon us and with that comes a reminder that while many of us are blessed with a bounty of riches,

there are some of us who are not.One civic minded organization

in Vaughan will for the sixth straight year kick off a Thanksgiving food drive for the Vaughan Food Bank — and it couldn’t come at a better time.

Just last week, the study, Who’s Hungry: Faces of Hunger, showed that Daily Bread member agencies and their regional partners logged 1,123,500 visits by clients from April 2011 to March 2012.

That jives with our local food bank statistics as well, which shows an increasing number of people in our community are going hungry and turn up at the food bank each month to feed themselves and their

families.Once the rent is paid, there isn’t

much left over. According to the study, many food bank users who are paying market rents fork over 71 per cent of their earnings to keep a roof over their head.

That’s why we want to congratu-late the folks behind SavourYork Region restaurant week for inviting the community to help fight hun-ger by making a donation to the local food bank.

We’ll be there at Fortinos, Wood-bridge, on Saturday, Oct. 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help fill the bins. We hope to see you there, too.

Someone once said that if the only prayer you said in your life was ‘thank you’, that would be quite sufficient.

Thank you, Vaughan, for making a difference to those less fortunate.

Thank you, Vaughan

Cadet Maaz Matloob, a resident of Woodbridge who earned aspot on the Royal Canadian Cadet National Rifle Team for hisoutstanding performance, recently rejoined the family after abusy nine weeks trip to England, France and Ottawa.

Bisley, England• Received awards in individual as well as in team events.• Stood one of the top 10 shooters out of 600 participants.• Received a silver medal, while leading as Captain

in team events.

Maaz Matloob shot for the Ontario Championship, where it wasall individually based, after three days of shooting he was inthe Lt. Governor finals for the Ontario Championship, placedone of the top 10 shooters and received bars and medals forindividual matches as well as in competition for finishing top3 in his shooting class.

The last competition was the Canadian Championship.It lasted for 6 days and Maaz Matloob shot

extremely well. He was also selected torepresent the Ontario team in one of the

matches due to his high score andgood shooting records in the OntarioChampionship. The team won thefinals and received a huge trophyand medals for all the members.In one of the team shoots theybeat the visiting British Cadet

Rifle Team and had received atrophy and badges for the entire team.

In the last, but not least due to an excellent individualperformance during the entire summer Maaz Matlooband two other team members were invited to a dinnerand awards ceremony hosted by the Dominion of CanadaNational Rifle Association at the famous Chateau LaurierHotel in Ottawa.

CONGRATULATIONS…

From page 1.countries around the globe includ-ing Japan, Germany, Italy, Nether-lands and Portugal.

In the first round, The Interns squared off against nearly two dozen crews from 19 countries.

“We felt a little nervous, but we knew we could do very well,” danc-er Vanessa Trinchini said.

The crew’s unique style impressed the judges and helped land them in the finals with 11 other teams, dancer Simone Trava-glini said.

“We had a different style than all the other teams,” she said. “Our routine sort of brought something different to the stage and I think the judges were really into that; seeing something fresh.”

The Interns faced stiff competi-tion in the finals, but still managed to finish in the top seven.

“It was so surreal that we actu-ally were in England,” Alexandra said. “Not a lot of people, especially our age, get an opportunity like this at all. It was really humbling and amazing to be in that environ-ment.”

Ms Santilli said just being able to compete at an international event was a great learning experience for the entire team.

“We saw a lot of other styles

and I think we really appreciate the art of dance,” she said. “And they realize it’s bigger than Toronto; it’s bigger than Woodbridge; there’s a world of dance out there.”

It also helped forge a stronger bond between the team members,

she added.“They know they’re good, but

in the same breath they know that there’s room for improvement,” Ms Santilli said. “I think that this opportunity showed them that there’s growth in any team.”

The Interns qualified for the world championships after a land-slide victory at the UDO Canadian Street Dance Championships held at the Downsview Park Hoop Dome last April. Following that win, The Interns had another major hurdle

to clear before heading to England. The team had to raise upwards

of $30,000 to cover airfare, accom-modations and competition fees, among other costs.

The Interns achieved that goal thanks, in part, to the more than 400 people who attended a dinner and dance they hosted at Borgata Wedding and Event Venue in late June.

“Our fundraiser was a huge suc-cess,” dancer Selena Giglio said. “There was a lot of dancing, every-body enjoyed it.”

“It went beyond what they expected,” Ms Santilli added. “They got a real sense of their community and also their families and friends that were really supporting them.”

The Interns are currently devel-oping a new routine and are look-ing to book shows in and around the Greater Toronto Area.

The crew also plans to defend its title at the 2013 UDO Canadian Street Dance Championships.

“From here on we’re going to keep pushing and promoting them,” Ms Santilli said. “This year I have a different vision for the team. … We’re going to pull our socks up and train even harder now that we’ve had such an amazing time. And we’re going to keep pushing and be the best we can be.”

wheelstalk.comMotown preview for the new SL

It was signifi cant that Mercedes-Benz chose Detroit not Geneva or Frankfurt for the world debut of the new SL.

Following the design language seen in the SLS supercar, the SL is probably most interesting in the fact it is almost entirely made from aluminum.

The new-generation Mercedes-Benz SL takes the meaning of the famous letters “SL” – super, lightweight – literally.

The new aluminum bodyshell weighs around 110 kilograms less than it would if using the steel technology from the predecessor. It is, in fact, the fi rst time Mercedes-Benz has implemented an all-aluminum bodyshell in a series-production model.

The new SL will be offered with

two different suspension systems: the SL features semi-active adjustable damping as standard. The optional active suspension system ABC (Active Body Control) is available as an alternative.

Both suspension variants are combined with a new electromechanical Direct-Steer system featuring speed-sensitive power steering and a ratio that can be varied across the steering wheel angle.

Along with two suspension systems there will be two engines.

The SL 350 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, making it three tenths of a second faster than its predecessor. The SL 500 takes just 4.6 seconds – eight tenths less than the previous SL 500.

Both engine variants come with

a standard-fi t ECO start/stop function. The 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission, which has been optimized in relation to fuel consumption and comfort, also contributes to low fuel consumption.

The adaptive windscreen wipe/wash system Mercedes-Benz called MAGIC VISION CONTROL supplies water from the wiper blade as required and depending on the direction of wipe.

The headlamps come as standard with the Intelligent Light System (ILS). With fi ve different lighting functions that are tailored to typical driving and weather conditions, and are activated depending on the driving situation, they offer the driver a much better illuminated fi eld of vision.

The next generation Mercedes-Benz SL was debuted at the recent North American International Auto Show in Detroit

DODGE TAKES AIM AT COMPACT SEGMENT WITH ALL-NEW 2013 DART

The return of the Dodge Dart has generated plenty of buzz – especially among those old enough to remember the original.

The fi rst Darts were full-size, but in 1963, the third-generation model – available as a sedan, coupe, wagon or convertible – was built on what was then considered a compact platform.

Many were tricked out to resemble muscle cars, but few had muscle, most having the ubiquitous 225 cubic inch slant six under the hood. Some had the 318 cu. in. V8, and a few were Dart “Swingers” which came standard with the 340. The optional 383 or 440 powerplants were less common.

Unfortunately federal emission regulations sucked the life from the car, and it was replaced by the horrendous Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen. I still remember the cheesy commercials with Italian-American tenor Sergio Franchi singing a modifi ed version of his signature song.

But I do reminisce fondly about the Dart, and was pleased when it was announced that Chrysler was bringing back the nameplate. It’s not the same nostalgia play as Charger or Challenger – as the new Dart is nothing like the original.

For starters, and thanks to its Italian partners, this Dodge is based upon the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, a model known for its road holding and agility, not to mention its chic design.

But the company took a different tack in designing its North American compact, stretching the Alfa platform about a foot and widening it two inches. The new architecture’s low, wide and long dimensions favour a stable, ‘body-in, wheels-out’ stance with all four pushed to the corners.

The new car has a 106 inch (2703 mm) wheelbase – just shy of the 1975 Dart, which was, overall, about 19 inches longer. The new model also has more interior volume.

The Dart’s new underpinnings, however, are about more than providing a commodious cabin; the structure also uses 68 per cent high-strength steel, resulting in an architecture that is lightweight and solid. Good for safety, as well as NVH (noise/vibration/harshness), ride and handling.

So too is the independent suspension with MacPherson struts and stabilizer bar in front, and multi-link with link-type stabilizer in rear.

Over rough roads and in tight turns, the Dart felt solid and composed. The standard-equipped electric power steering was quick and responsive, nicely weighted, and provided decent feedback. Unlike some early EPS systems.

And while the car’s stiff structure contributes to a quiet cabin, much of that can also be credited to the honing of exterior shapes from more than 600 hours spent in wind tunnel testing, not to mention the liberal use of sound-deadening materials and improved seals.

Look under the Dart and instead of greasy bits, you’ll fi nd smooth composite panels from stem to stern. These also reduce drag and help block road noise. There’s also abundant foam and acoustic baffl es tucked into pillars and other body cavities.

All of which result in a cabin that is as hushed as many premium sedans I’ve driven.

Aerodynamics also play a big role in the Dart’s front-end design. This is the fi rst Dodge vehicle to use an active grille shutter system, which closes to stop airfl ow at highway speeds (when less cooling is needed), and opens in hot city driving.

The front end is also where the Dart makes its strongest style statement. This varies by trim level, with its main feature – the split crosshair grille – being toned down from earlier Dodge vehicles for a more sophisticated look.

WEBSITE: www.dodge.ca

The 2013 Dodge Dart is based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, only longer and wider. This all-new compact sedan gets a toned-down crosshair grille, coupe-like silhouette and clean sheet

metal for a sporty, yet sophisticated look.

SEASONAL TIRE CHANGES – WHEN AND WHY?

Every year we are urged by our mechanics, dealerships and media to make the switch to winter tires in the dwindling weeks of the fall season in preparation of severe winter weather. Some of us listen while others chose to do otherwise. Part of the reason for this is the fact that many don’t u n d e r s t a n d the benefi t of swapping all-season tires for dedicated winters.

There are two main reasons for switching to winter rubber: temperature and frozen precipitation, generally ice or snow. This isn’t as obvious it sounds. For decades tire manufacturers have been unintentionally misleading consumers into thinking that all-season tires can be used year-round. This is true if you live

in a southern climate that never sees snow or ice like we do, here in the frozen

north.

At lower temperatures all-season tires lose their

ability to maintain traction, due to the

compounds used in the rubber. Additionally, the tread design of all-season tires is designed to limit road noise and evacuate water from the treads. The primary function of winter

tires is to provide traction in colder

temperatures and in snow and ice.

It should be evident as to why two different sets of

tires are required in our climate. When the temperature is consistently below -5C its winter tire time and when its +5C consistently it’s time to switch back to all-season or summer tires.

SANTA FE MORE EFFICIENT, MORE REFINED FOR 2013

After winning Canadian and North American Car of the Year (COTY) in 2009 with the luxury Genesis Sedan, and more recently scooping three 2012 Canadian COTY category wins for the Accent, Veloster and Elantra, the Hyundai has surged up the pecking order.

And so has the Santa Fe within its segment, as the all-new 2013 model has improved in nearly every way.

It also now comes in two body styles. The fi ve-passenger ‘Sport’ is on sale now with FWD or AWD, and is available with two engines: a 2.4-litre four cylinder with gasoline direct injection (GDI), and a 2.0-litre turbocharged four, also with GDI.

All Sport models get a six-speed automatic with Shiftronic manual shift. This starts with the exterior. Incremental changes in the grille, headlights, taillights, roofl ine, belt line, character lines and other areas combine for an effect that is signifi cantly more upscale.

Like the Tucson, it employs Hyundai’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ styling, but in a way that appears more purposeful. Along the sides are character lines that pierce each door handle, along with sculpting that provides dimension and depth.

The bold front end with hexagonal front grille is fl anked by modern swept-back projector headlamps and black-accented fog lamps. The two-tone lower fascia projects a rugged, SUV appearance.

For 2013, the Santa Fe is longer and lower, and has more interior space – besting pretty much all the competition. This new model is 120 kg lighter than the 2012 (and 16 per cent stiffer). A more rigid body, better aerodynamics,

improvements in damping and bushings, a double-layered windshield, and more insulation in the dash and fl oor, add up to a cabin that’s surprisingly hushed. Nearly what you’d expect from Infi niti or Lexus.

Santa Fe 2.4-litre FWD includes air conditioning, heated front seats, power windows with driver’s auto up/down and pinch protection, tilt/telescopic steering with audio and cruise controls, power lumbar support, Bluetooth and six-speaker A M / F M / X M / C D / M P 3 audio system with iPod/USB/aux inputs.

This entry model also gets a rear spoiler, roof-rack side rails and 17-inch alloys. Next in line, with the 2.4-litre engine, is the

Premium FWD ($28,299), followed by Premium AWD ($30,299) and Luxury AWD ($33,899).

The base turbo model comes in Premium trim, which will set you back $30,499 for FWD or $32,499 for AWD. However Hyundai expects the SE AWD, to be their overall volume seller, which at $35,299 includes pretty much everything but navigation, power passenger seat and upgraded audio system. If you want these, opt for the Limited AWD at $38,499.

The turbo may be top dog, but the 2.4-litre is no wimp, producing 190 hp and 181 lb/ft of torque – 15 hp and 12 lb/ft more than the 2.4-litre engine it replaces. And with 12 percent better fuel economy.

Demand for this kind of vehicle shows no sign of slowing down, and the company points out that 21 per cent of new vehicle buyers are intending to purchase a compact or intermediate CUV.

And I’ll bet a lot of them will be putting the 2013 Santa Fe on their shopping list.

Story and photos by Lorne DruryMetroland Newspapers/WheelsTalk.com

The 2012 Beetle is longer, wider and lower than the second generation, but there’s no mistaking it for

anything but a Volkswagen Beetle.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE MORE MACHO FOR 2012

Is there a more distinctive car on the road than the Volkswagen Beetle? Even the redesigned 2012 Beetle is every bit as identifi able as the iconic Beetles of the ’60s and ’70s. This time around, though, designers set out to give the third-generation model a more masculine look in an attempt to overcome the ‘chick car’ reputation that the New Beetle had developed during its run from 1998 to 2010.

Though not the volume leader that the original ‘Bug’ was for Volkswagen, when it sold more than 21 million copies between 1938 and 2003, the Beetle continues to sell in solid numbers here in Canada with 1,230 units delivered through the fi rst six months of the calendar year. This new Beetle looks more planted to the ground and is longer, wider and shorter than the previous model. Comfort and stowage issues have been addressed so that now the back seat is much more user-friendly with a decent amount of headroom. Ingress and egress is still a bit diffi cult, however, due to the coupe design. Meanwhile, the trunk now has cargo space of 426 litres, jumping to 850 litres with the 50/50 split/fold rear seats down.

As far as image is concerned, the exterior design has a more masculine look and the little vase and plastic fl ower affi xed to the dash in the previous generation is now part of Volkswagen history. Standard on the Comfortline and Highline is a fi ve-speed manual transmission with a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic and Sport Mode optional.

Prices start at $21,975 for the Comfortline manual and

$24,225 for the Highline manual ($25,625 for the Highline automatic). The Sportline is $29,025 for the manual and $30,425 for the DSG automatic. Freight and PDI add $1,365.

Limited edition Premiere and Premiere+ models are also available during the 2012 launch year. A total of 600 of these will be offered, priced at $24,475 and $26,575 respectively. The Premiere models come only with the automatic transmission.

The Sportline, as the name suggests, has a sporty look with 18-inch alloy wheels covering bright red brake brake calipers. This model also boasts a sport suspension, eight-way driver and six-way passenger manual sport seats, leather seats (heated up front), dual exhaust, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear spoiler and alloy sport pedals. As with most front-drive, turbocharged vehicles, a bit of turbo lag and torque steer is evident, but the added performance of the turbocharger makes it all worthwhile for the driving enthusiast. Using the paddle shifters also adds a touch of sportiness one wouldn’t expect in a Beetle, although the body roll felt on hard cornering lets you know you’re in a Beetle rather than a GTI. Nevertheless, this is a level of handling never before seen on a Beetle.

So while the new-generation Beetle stays true to its roots with much the same iconic design, it is a thoroughly modern version that still makes you smile but provides driving dynamics the originals couldn’t come close to matching.

From page 1.At Cedar Fair’s Knott’s Berry Farm

in Buena Park, Calif., the ride’s safety system caused the shutdown, official reports stated.

The $5-million Windseeker rides at the company’s other parks in Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina have also been shut for review.

Windseeker Towers are built by Dutch company Mondial Rides.

Canada’s Wonderland spokesper-son Dineen Beaven isn’t sure when the ride will re-open, but said that once a review of the Knott’s Berry ride is complete the amusement park will have a plan of action for its own ride.

“Our ride is running problem-free,” she said. “This is standard practice for us to find out what’s going on with that ride. Safety is our No. 1 priority at the park to make sure we have a safe environment for our guests.”

Safety No.1 priority:

Wonderland

Gamblers Anonymous is reach-ing out to Vaughan with free, upcoming group counseling ses-sions.

A representative from the group said that should anyone have a gambling problem themselves or knows someone with an issue there is hope and help available.

“You are not alone,” said a Gamblers Anonymous member.

“This is a program of unity and sharing.”

The group meets every Monday night at 8 p.m. for a “comment meeting” at the Jewish Addiction and Community Services Centre, 1118 Centre St., Unit 13, in Thorn-hill.

For more information please call 416-366-7313 or visit www.gamblersanonymoustoronto.org.

Police seek help on Wonderland assault

Police are looking for clues to a Canada’s Wonderland assault after an Oakville woman suf-fered injuries during a parking lot fight involving two female drivers Vaughan.

Police were called to the park last Wednesday after a white 2011 Audi SUV collided with a four-door sedan. According to police, the two women got out of their vehicles to assess the “minor damage”. After a brief discussion the victim pulled out her cellphone to take a picture of the damage. The victim may have inadvertently taken a pic-ture of the other woman involved,

police said. It was at this point that the suspect grabbed the camera and proceeded to drive off, police added. While trying to retrieve her device, the victim was dragged about five meters until she finally let go and sustained injuries dur-ing the fall, according to police.

Police are looking for a 17- to 20-year-old Caucasian woman with long blonde hair. There was a passenger in the sedan, described as a Caucasian woman, about 17 to 20, with short red hair.

The vehicle is believed to be an older model Pontiac or Buick, grey or silver. If you have information, call police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7441 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com.
