FRIDAY’S JACKPOTKPOTS JAC

First the bullets flew through the Eaton Centre food court. Then, two weeks later, on a sun-filled patio in Little Italy. On Sunday, a man was shot while hundreds watched a fire-works display in the city’s east end. Just 24 hours before that, a stray bullet grazed a toddler’s leg in North York.

In the wake of an expanding list of brazen public shoot-ings — and an overall spike in gun violence — police are cautioning against character-izations of an unsafe city under siege by whizzing bullets. Guns are being used differently these days, they say.

“Is there still work to do? Of course there is. But Toronto has been for some time and remains the safest big city in

North America,” said police spokesman Mark Pugash on Tuesday.

“I understand that statistics don’t necessarily provide com-fort, but they do give us the abil-ity to measure over time what’s happened. And we know that over many years now crime is down in Toronto,” he added.

Last year there were 49 homicides in Toronto, the fourth consecutive year mur-ders had fallen and the lowest overall year since 1986.

This year, sixteen people have died at the end of a gun so far. At this time last year, that number was 14.

One seemingly alarming statistic shows 163 shooting victims to date in 2012. That’s up nearly 40 per cent from 119 at the same time last year.

Pugash countered, saying that some people may be in-terpreting the statistics “too casually.”

“The biggest increase in shootings this year are ones where there are no injuries,” he said, pointing out that if a gun

is fired in the direction of five people and nobody is hit by a bullet those people are still con-sidered victims.

“So we have 90 people this year who are considered vic-tims, but have no injuries,” he said, citing a 60 per cent in-crease in that category.torstar news service

Interpreting statistics. Homicides in 2012 are down, but instances of shootings have jumped nearly 30 per cent

Despite recent gun crimes, this city’s safe: cops

Safe — or safest?

That Toronto is getting safer is true, said University of Toron-to criminologist Scot Wortley, who went a step further, saying Toronto and Montreal are the safest big cities in the Western hemisphere.

• So far in 2012, 64 per cent of homicides are gun-related — one of only two years where gun deaths have made up more than 60 per cent of homicides in nearly two decades.

• Typically, 45 per cent of homicides involve guns.

Special investigations

SIU clears offi cer who punched Occupy protesterThe province’s police watchdog declined to press charges against a Toronto police officer who punched an Occupy Toronto pro-tester in the face after it ruled she swung her arms twice at him first.

The Special Investiga-tions Unit said on Tuesday the unidentified officer was attempting to make an arrest during a protest outside the University Ave. courthouse in March.

The protester, 37-year-old Angela Turvey, suffered a minimally displaced fracture of the nasal bone, bruising around her eyes and a cut over one eye that required seven sutures.

Turvey could not be reached for comment Tues-day afternoon.

A spokesperson for the SIU said in a statement that the agency began its inves-tigation immediately after learning of the incident through media reports.

The probe involved interviews with six police officers — including the of-ficer who threw the punch — and 14 civilian witnesses, as well as a study of news footage and personal videos.

The trouble began on March 30, when the officer and his partner attempted to remove Occupy Toronto protesters from a camp beside the courthouse.

Turvey argued with one of the officers about his seizure of a bag belong-ing to a protester he had arrested.

She also filmed the of-ficers from extremely close range, according to the SIU.

“Ms. Turvey refused to step back, and the subject officer moved toward her in an attempt to arrest her for interfering in an arrest,” the SIU said. “Ms. Turvey began to struggle and the video shows her swinging her arms twice at the officers.”TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The Canadian flag in front of St. Brother André Catholic High School in Markham was lowered to half staff Tuesday in memory of Sara Nicole Girard, killed in a car acci-dent days after graduating.

Two of her school mates were critically injured in the crash.

“I have spoken to each of

the families ... It’s just a very, very tough time,” said princi-pal Dan Zaroski.

Girard, 17, died Monday evening when the van she was in rolled over on Hwy. 11 near Parry Sound and veered into a ditch.

The Stouffville teen was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.

She was returning from a cottage weekend with her two girlfriends, Allison Neville, 17, of Markham and Meghan Timewell, 18, also of Stouff-ville, who were airlifted to Sunnybrook Hospital after the crash.

The Catholic school board for the area is making arrange-ments to provide grief counsel-ing for students and staff even though classes have already ended for the summer.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the Girard family and also to the Neville and Timewell families,” said May Moore, spokesperson York Catholic School Board.

“It’s quite a shock to hear this news. Their whole lives are ahead of them.”

Meanwhile, Grade 12 stu-dents and recent graduates and staff will gather in the school cafeteria and chapel

from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wed-nesday to offer prayers for the three teens. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Missing GTA man. Body found in Michigan land� ll Michigan police confirmed the body found last week in a Mon-trose Township landfill is of a missing man from Peel region.

Peel police said in a press release that the body of Missis-sauga man Kevin Joseph Arendt was found in Michigan but did not say where it was found.

The 38-year-old Arendt was last seen leaving a bar in his navy blue Jeep Wednesday

night near Dundas St. W. and Confederation Pkwy. in Missis-sauga.

Montrose Township Police Sgt. Jaime Cochran said the body was discovered Friday morning by landfill workers about a 100 km northwest of Detroit.

Cochran said the body was likely brought to Brent Run landfill in a garbage truck from

Canada.“I don’t see how else it could

get there,” Cochran said, as up to 50 garbage trucks come to the area between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. everyday.

In a press release, Peel Po-lice said they are investigating Arendt’s disappearance and subsequent death “although no foul play is suspected”.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICEKevin Joseph Arendt. POLICE HANDOUT

Preliminary investigation

• No other vehicle was involved and a cause has not been determined, police say.

• A preliminary investiga-tion by OPP suggests that Girard and one other oc-cupant were not wearing seatbelts, causing them to be thrown from the car.

It was the morning after a long weekend of Pride and Canada Day celebrations, and Toronto beaches had mutated into places only Oscar the Grouch could love — sandy goldmines of trash.

Strolling down the Sun-nyside boardwalk early Tues-day, trash was everywhere you looked or stepped, evidence of thousands of litterbugs who had a great time by the shore the night before but decidedly

left their garbage behind.In addition to the usual beer

bottles and pizza trays, there were remnants of fireworks, toppled garbage cans, Tupper-ware containers of discarded food and piles of trash sitting unusually close to garbage cans that weren’t full.

Mostly, picking up after To-rontonians is the job of clean-up workers. “The staff realize that it’s going to be busy, they don’t dread it because they know what they are getting into when they sign up to

clean down there,” said Dar-rell Vossen, general supervisor for waterfront parks at Toronto Park, Forestry and Recreation.

“City staff can do what they can, but why are they picking up after the public’s garbage?” said Sarah Doucette, city coun-cillor for Ward 13, Parkdale-High Park. “I’m appalled, I thought we were civilized people, why would you just drop your garbage?”TorsTar News service

Long-weekend litterbugs leave trail of trash on Toronto beaches

Toronto organizations which successfully divert young of-fenders from the court system are baffled as to why the fed-eral government is slashing crucial funds for that purpose.

Last week, when Justice Minister Rob Nicholson an-nounced “continued support” for the federal Youth Justice Services Funding Program at $141.7 million annually, he did not mention that number represents a 20 per cent cut from previous years.

Advocates and experts are struggling to understand the rationale behind the cuts. “An investment in young people

who are at the front end of a ‘potential criminal career,’ is just so important and so much more cost-effective than the costs associated with people further on down that line,” said Heather Sproule, executive director at Central Toronto Youth Services. “This does seem to have come out of the blue.

The community-based or-ganization offers programs to as many as 200 youth on probation or diverted from the court system for alterna-tive programs. The agency re-ceives $1.3 million for youth

justice services through the province, which allocates the federal transfer funds.

Eric Hoskins, Ontario’s minister of children and youth services, said the cuts were a surprise as there was no consultation with the prov-inces. He said he plans to fight the decision and would seek a meeting with Nicholson.

Nicholson’s spokes-woman, Julie Di Mambro, would not specify reasons for the funding cut, calling the amount allocated a “signifi-cant investment.”TorsTar News service

French investigators searched former president Nicolas Sar-kozy’s home and office on Tuesday as part of a probe into suspected illegal financing of his 2007 presidential campaign by the L’Oreal cosmetics heir-ess, an official said.

Potential legal troubles have threatened Sarkozy since he lost the presidency to Social-ist Francois Hollande in May elections. Sarkozy, who lost his immunity from prosecution June 15, denies wrongdoing.

Investigators from the

Paris financial crimes unit conducted Tuesday’s search of Sarkozy’s home and of-fices, the official said.

The probe centres on the

finances of France’s richest woman, L’Oreal cosmetics heiress Liliane Bettencourt.

A long-running family feud over her fortune bal-looned in 2010 into a multi-layered investigation and political affair. Allegations emerged that Bettencourt provided illegal campaign cash to Sarkozy’s party dur-ing the 2007 campaign. An ac-countant for Bettencourt said in 2010 that she gave 50,000 euros in cash in 2007 to Sar-kozy’s party treasurer — well beyond the 4,600 euros legal limit. Sarkozy vigorously de-nies the claims.

The allegations struck a chord with Sarkozy’s critics, who were frustrated with his handling of the recession-hit economy and saw him as too cosy with the rich.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oda’s spending habits sparked a furor earlier this year when it was revealed she had rejected one five-star hotel in London, England, for another, more luxurious one at more than double the cost.

She had also hired a luxury car and driver for an average of $1,000 per day.

Weather expert Kevin Trenberth calls it “I told you so” time.

The head of climate an-alysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in fire-charred Colorado says he warned of these record-break-ing conditions, but many people wouldn’t listen.

Jonathan Overpeck, pro-fessor of geosciences and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona, goes further.

“This is what global warm-ing looks like at the regional or personal level,” he says.

He adds: “This is certainly

what I and many other cli-mate scientists have been warning about.”

But climate scientists also warn it’s far too early to say global warming is the cause of the wacky weather. It takes intensive study, complicated mathematics, computer mod-els and lots of time, they say.

Weather is always vari-able, they stress. Freaky things happen. the associated press

But is it the culprit? Scientists cagey: Too early to say it’s behind some wacky weather

Turn on the air conditioning … please

Is the world warming up? Listen to the scientists …

• Since Jan. 1, the U.S. has set more than 40,000 hot-temperature records, but fewer than 6,000 cold ones, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

• Through most of last century, the U.S. used to set hot and cold records evenly, but since 2000 America has set two hot records for every cold one, says climate expert Jerry Meehl of the Nation-al Center for Atmospheric Research.

Big feet, fat wallet saved toronto man: parents

Big feet and a fortuitously placed wallet helped save the day for a Canadian aid worker snatched at gunpoint at a Ken-yan refugee camp and marched with three other captors across the border into Somalia, his parents said Tuesday.

Clearly relieved after days of frantic worry, Carol-Ann and Peter Dennis were able to share some of the humour that helped sustain their son Steve Dennis during his ordeal.

“He’s tall, so he’s got big feet,” Carol-Ann said.

“The trackers could track them because they could see the big foot and some little feet in the pattern of walking.”

Dennis, 37, of Toronto, and fellow Canadian, Qurat-Ul-Ain Sadazai, 38, of Gatineau, Que., were among four aid workers

snatched at gunpoint from the Dadaab refugee camp near the Somalia border on Friday.

Their Kenyan driver was killed when four gunmen at-tacked their two-vehicle con-voy. Dennis was grazed by a bullet during the chaos.

“In Steve’s case, it hap-pened to hit him right in his wallet that he carries in his front (leg) pocket — it bruised him a little bit,” his father said.

“He said he was saved by his credit cards.”

The group later abandoned the vehicle they had taken and walked across the border.

Also kidnapped and res-cued were Astrid Sehl, 33, of Norway, and Glenn Costes, 40, a Filipino. the canadian press

Research In Motion chief executive Thorsten Heins was on the defensive Tues-day, insisting “there’s noth-ing wrong with the company as it exists right now,” and that he’s confident the Black-Berry maker will get past its current challenges.

Heins led the march of several executives who fanned out to media outlets in an effort to cast a positive glow on the company, which has been facing an increas-ing amount of negativity over its seemingly endless problems.

Last week, RIM shocked

the market with another de-lay to its crucial BlackBerry 10 operating system which has been considered by many as a last-ditch effort to save the company. But that was only part of the bad news.

RIM also said it would lay-off about 5,000 employees as it slashes costs across the

organization to contend with faltering sales of its Black-Berry smartphones and a quickly eroding stock price.

RIM’s stock closed 10 cents lower at $7.44 on Tues-day at the Toronto Stock Ex-change.

Heins acknowledged the company faces a challenge to regain market share in the United States, but insisted RIM isn’t in a “death spiral.”

Heins said the major changes RIM has made to its management and business objectives since he became CEO in January are part of a massive transition to a whole new technology platform.

He said sales in other parts of the world remain strong and argued the transi-tion to the BlackBerry 10 will be a completely different way for RIM to address mo-bile computing. the canadian press

Lending. BMO predicts Boc will keep key interest rate low well into 2013 The Bank of Montreal predicted Tuesday that the Bank of Canada will keep its key interest rate low for longer than it expected.

Economists at the bank are now predicting that the central bank will not raise its key rate until July 2013, six months later than their earlier prediction of January 2013.

The rate affects the prime

lending rates at banks and in turn influences all kinds of interest rates including those charged to variable rate mort-gages and lines of credit.

But BMO mortgage expert Laura Parsons urged prospective home buyers to choose fixed-rate mortgages, which are also near record lows.

“While interest rates have

been at historic lows, the in-evitable climb will happen,” said Parsons. “Choosing a fixed mortgage can provide protec-tion against rising rates.”

Ottawa moved last month to tighten mortgage rules for the fourth time in as many years in an effort to cool the housing market.the canadian press

Revamp. Chuck E. Cheese gets makeoverChuck E. Cheese has been given the pink slip.

The company that operates the chain of children’s pizza restaurants is retiring the giant rodent’s outdated image — and the man who voiced its charac-ter for nearly two decades.

CEC Entertainment Inc. says it plans to launch a U.S. ad campaign Thursday with a revamped image of Chuck E. Cheese as a hip, electric-guitar-playing rock star.

It’s just the latest makeover for the 35-year-old mascot, which started life as a New Jer-sey rat who sometimes carried a cigar.

CEC Entertainment, based in Irving, Texas, is struggling to revive sales at its more than 500 pizza restaurants, which of-fer games, prizes and a musical variety show.

In May, CEC said revenue at its locations open at least a year fell 4.2 per cent in the first quar-ter and lowered its outlook for the year.

The new Chuck E. Cheese

that launches this week will be voiced by Jaret Reddick, the lead singer for the pop-punk band Bowling for Soup.

The Chuck E. Cheese Face-book page now shows a silhou-ette of a cartoon mouse playing a guitar. The details of Chuck E.’s new image will be unveiled this week. thE assoCiatEd pREss

Online music

beats electronics buys MOG serviceUpscale headphone maker Beats Electronics is buying music subscription service MOG in an attempt to improve what goes into playback devices as much as what comes out of them.

Beats, founded by rap-per Dr. Dre and recording executive Jimmy Iovine, has devoted its brand to high-quality sound. But headphones and speak-ers have limited ability to improve the sound of compressed MP3s.

Beats hopes to use MOG to provide an end-to-end music experience that will help it compete against bigger subscrip-tion music rivals like Rhapsody and Spotify.

MOG’s paying subscrib-ers are estimated to be in the tens of thousands, compared to more than a million for Rhapsody in the U.S. and 3 million for Spotify worldwide.thE assoCiatEd pREss

registration: $68. running ’til

your legs are jelly: priceless

I’m always looking for a new experience, so I’ve decided to sign up for a triathlon: swim, cycle, run; one immediately after another.A lot of people are fierce and

brave, and they like to tackle the Ironman triathlon, which consists of a 3.96-kilometre swim, a 180.25-km bike ride and a 42.2-km marathon, without any rest or dying in between.

I am not an iron man. More like a straw man, so I thought I’d start with a “sprint triathlon,” which sounds very zippy, doesn’t it? A sprint is to the Ironman what a Yaris is to an F-350 pickup: 700-metre swim, 20-km bike ride, 5-km run. There’s less chance of sinking like a stone at about 2.57 km into the swim or falling off your bike into a ditch at 127 km, or wandering into traffic, dehydrated and disoriented, around 37 km in the marathon.

Still, this “sprint,” which occurs on July 22 (why are my palms sweating already?) has its challenges, not the least being I’ve never done all three of these things in a row on the same day, and rarely in the same month.

The main challenge, as far as I can tell, is getting through the transition, which means getting from the pool and onto the bike, then off the bike and into run-ning shoes, all while the clock is ticking. The “three Ts” are key to transition: towels, talcum powder and tugging, not necessarily in that order. It’s also important not to get confused and cycle in your swim goggles or run in your bike helmet, all of which apparently happen. How would I know? I’ve never even watched a triathlon.

Which might lead you to ask why am I doing this? Well, it was either this or one of those river cruises along the Seine. Both of them involve going someplace exotic, like Paris or the pool at UBC. But the river cruise costs $7,000; registering for the triathlon? $68.

No contest. Two weeks after the Point Grey Sprint Triathlon, on Aug.

7, is a similar event called the London Olympic Triathlon. While I’m just starting out, the great Canadian gold medal-list (2000 Sydney Games) Simon Whitfield is in the twilight of his career and will be competing in one last Olympics before he retires, a geezer at 37.

Even though I can spot Simon a couple of years, once again, there are some similarities. Expectations are the key. On Aug. 7, the whole nation will be holding its breath hoping that Simon is able to win gold one last time. On July 22, my wife will be holding her breath hoping that I at least make it out of the pool.

OK. So what did you want for $68?

6234148 132 111

HOW EVIL IS THE LIZARD? The bad guy in The Amazing Spider-Man is a scientist turned, well, lizard (played by Rhys Ifans). How does he compare to other comic book villains?

Comic book website IGN named their top 100 — here’s a look.

Why make a new � lm when you can recycle an old one?

The adage, “The only con-stant is change,” is only partially true in Hollywood. The list of recent movie re-boots is as long as Lindsay Lohan’s arrest record, and there’s more on the way — we’ll soon see new versions of Death Wish, Fletch and

Highlander — but while the titles stay the same, the faces change.

This weekend, Peter Par-ker swings back into the-atres, but instead of Tobey Maguire behind the familiar red-and-black-webbed mask it’s Social Network star An-drew Garfield.

Not everyone is happy about the change. 1234zoom-er commented on the new movie: “IS NOT GOING TO BE THE SAMEÒÒ WITHOUT TOBBY!!!,” (her uppercase and spelling, not mine), but Maguire has been gracious, saying, “I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story.”

Whether the new Spidey acknowledges Maguire is yet to be seen, but at least one replacement had the man-ners to recognize their pre-

cursor on screen. George Lazenby paid a

tongue-in-cheek tribute to Sean Connery in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. After a wild battle to rescue Contessa Teresa (played by Diana Rigg) the new James Bond didn’t get the girl. “This never happened to the other fellow,” he says, look-ing dejectedly into the cam-era.

Former Bond Connery went on to co-star in The Hunt for Red October with Alec Baldwin playing Jack Ryan, a character later played by Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck.

It’s rumoured that Chris Pine (who took over the part of Captain Kirk in Star Trek from William Shatner) will soon reprise the role.

The Batman franchise has

also had a revolving cast. Since 1943 seven actors have played the Caped Crusader, including Lewis G. Wil-son, who at 23 remains the youngest actor to play the character, and George Cloon-ey who admits he was “really bad” in Batman & Robin.

It’s not only the Caped Crusader who changes from time to time. Harvey Dent, the handsome district attor-ney who turns into villain Two Face has been played by Billy Dee Williams, Tommy

Lee Jones and Aaron Eckhart and The Dark Knight’s Mag-gie Gyllenhaal took over the role of Rachel Dawes from Batman Begins star Katie Holmes.

Finally, Jodie Foster’s take on FBI agent Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs was ranked the sixth greatest protagonist in film history on AFI’s 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains list, but when she declined to re-prise the role in Hannibal, Julianne Moore stepped in.

Play it again, Sam. Hollywood has long been a fan of movie reboots. Spider-Man is the latest fl ick to get a an actor makeover

Marketing deal

Pitbull to Alaska: I know you want me

Miami rapper Pitbull might soon be chilling out in Alaska. In a marketing deal, Walmart will send Pitbull, a.k.a Armando Christian Perez, to the

store that gets the most “likes” on its Facebook

page. Right now, the lead-ing candidate is Kodiak, Alaska. And there may be a reason. A writer

for The Boston Phoenix newspaper thought it’d

be funny to send Pitbull to the most remote Walmart

possible, and is encour-aging people to “like” the Walmart in Kodiak. The

Kodiak Walmart had more than 35,000 “likes” Mon-day, more than fi ve times

the town’s population.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sleigh Bells seemed to emerge fully formed, with a brutally unique sound of overblown guitars and vocals that alter-nated between pop-singer sweetness and cheerleader vengeance.

The Brooklyn duo’s 2009 debut, Treats, landed on near-ly every single year-end best-of list, including this publica-tion’s.

For their follow-up, Reign of Terror, released this spring, guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss decided to do away with some of the tricks of Treats in favour of more conventional sounds. But they put these sounds into a context that is anything but conventional.

“In a lot of ways, Reign of Terror is an homage to classic

rock and a lot of arena rock songs that are pretty formu-laic and pretty universal in terms of structure and what they make you feel,” says Krauss. “We were very shame-

less in referencing bands like Def Leppard or pop acts like Cyndi Lauper or the Go Go’s.”

Where Krauss was filling in pre-written vocal parts for the debut, the pair collabor-

ated more for Reign of Terror, and the result is something more melodic. There are even a few ballads on the al-bum. Krauss says she knows that the combination of ’80s metal and their own pop and punk instincts have definitely turned off a few listeners. But she has no regrets.

“We always say that we don’t really have any guilty pleasures,” she says. “If we lis-ten to something and we like it, we’re not embarrassed about referencing it. We’re both real lovers of pop music, so I think being able to write a really simple but catchy hook is one of the hardest things to do as a songwriter. And we kind of like thinking that way: ‘How can we write a song as good as Pour Some Sugar on Me?’”

The Word

Jennifer Hudson sings new Lullaby

When many people think of Jennifer Hudson’s singing style, they think of a thun-derous, room-shaking tone. But now, with her new Pam-pers-inspired adaptation of the classic Lullaby and Good-night, the multi-talented performer shows a gentler, sweeter side. We caught up with Hudson last week to dis-cuss her new lullaby record-ing and how she balances being a mom and a superstar.

How did you incorporate your experiences as a mom into this lullaby?(By) imagining putting my baby to sleep: What do you want to say to your child? What do you want them to

hear before they fall asleep to soothe them, to calm them down? That’s why I did it. Any-time he calls me, I say, ‘That’s my baby.’ I always tell him, ‘I love your hugs, I love your kisses.’ So, I really took it from being a mom, and the real ex-perience of that.

Is it difficult balancing motherhood with your work life?It can be. That’s why I love be-ing from Chicago and living

in Chicago. After we had our son, we decided we wanted to go back home, because to me that’s what keeps you grounded. That’s what keeps the foundation. And then you have family there, which is what keeps something nor-mal, at least for him. I want-ed him to have as much of a normal childhood as possible, and I felt like that was the best way to do that — by go-ing back home. And although he is always in my world and watching mommy work, and seeing daddy wrestling — that’s different, that will always make him grow up different — if he still has that base, that foundation that we had growing up, then that, to us, is what’s important.

What advice do you have for new parents?I remember when I first had my baby, I wanted all the guests to go home, but I was so terrified of being home alone with him. It’s natural to be terrified, but it falls into place. You just fall into it.

5ways to keep the

fun in your family

vacation

4Bring your phoneWhere we learned it: Philadelphia, Penn.We’re so connected at home that a summer vacation can seem like the perfect time to dis-connect. Do it if you must but remember that it’s not the phone that’s the problem, it’s what you do with it and how often. Our trip was changed for the better because we had access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube along the way.

5The family that stays together loses their collective mindsWhere we learned it: France.We went to the Eiffel Tower twice but the kids were still itching to climb it; I was not. So we made a deal and while my hus-band took them to the top, I roamed the Champs Elysees. The result was a happier mom at the end of the day and a dad who knew I owed him one. (He cashed in with a boys night later on no questions asked.) While recharging your mojo remember to keep the self-imposed guilt to a minimum. There’s nothing in the family vacation rulebook that says you aren’t entitled to a vacation too.

Don’t let stressful moments steal your memoriesWhere we learned it: Beijing, China.The mission was to meet our phenomenal guide at the Forbidden City. We should’ve been there by nine. At 10, we were still standing in pouring rain trying desperately to hail a cab. When we finally found one and agreed on the exorbitantly high overcharge, we had the ride of our life. Thrilled with his windfall the driver regaled us with broken English stories that we still giggle at today. We eventually saw and were amazed by the Forbidden City but nothing compared to the taxi ride over.

Evil glares at the airport security line, jam-packed yesterdays that lead to too-tired-to-take-another-step todays, and kids off ering TMI to the customs offi cials. It’s no wonder parents get the shakes at the thought of a family vacation. Trust me, I know. My husband and I just spent more than 365 days with our two sons under the age of 10 on an around-the-world trip. Sure, there were moments when my sanity was questionable, but by the time we got home we were all a little wiser about how to make sure we made it through. My hard-learned les-

sons are your gain. These fi ve tips will help replace your family’s whines of “are we there yet?” with, “is it over already?”

2Pack less stuff Where we learned it: The Mekong Delta in Vietnam.Nothing will make you glad you didn’t pack six pairs of shoes and three party dresses for a weekend away as a $6 deal on a lug-your-own-suitcase boat trip. There isn’t a place in the world that doesn’t have a laundry washing system or a place you can buy something in an emergency.

3Ditch the routines you can; adjust the ones you can’tWhere we learned it: Cairo, Egypt.At home the kids go to bed at 8, breakfast is at 7 and new friends are rare. On this trip? Bedtime was when they fell asleep, breakfast could include ice cream and every day there was the possibility of adding a new friend. We told the kids it was an adventure and they thrived. So much so that when, in Cairo, we found ourselves playing table tennis on a street corner at midnight and no one blinked an eye. It turns out kids aren’t as desper-ate for routine as we think and sometimes the thrill of a broken routine is needed.

Drive a tank around a mile-long dirt course and crush a car — all for around $550. jeff baenen/the associated press

Road rage? Why not rent a tank and smash a few cars?

For anyone who ever has been stuck in traffic, it’s a tempting fantasy: If only you were driv-ing a tank and could roll over everything in your path.

Some drivers are now flocking to an out-of-the-way spot in southern Minnesota to turn that vision into metal-crunching reality.

A business named Drive-a-Tank offers drivers the chance to pilot surplus military tanks and other armoured vehicles around an old limestone quarry and smash junk cars like an action movie hero.

The ride is loud, grinding, hot and dirty — ideal for satis-

fying one’s inner Rambo.“It was awesome. I mean,

controlling that machine, it’s incredible,” said Jacob Ostling, 19, of New Canaan, Conn., among the customers who took a turn under the turret on a recent Saturday and flattened a car in an ex-plosion of glass.

Owner Tony Borglum, a construction and heavy equip-ment contractor, opened the tank park three years ago after seeing similar attractions dur-ing a visit to England. He said he knew it would fit nicely into American culture — a more visceral version of what millions of guys are doing in video games anyway.

He began buying up old Cold War-era surplus and now has 11 armoured vehicles available for use on a 20-acre site near this town 80 kilo-metres southwest of Minne-apolis.

Customers spend hours churning up and down a

hilly, wooded course, getting a firsthand sense of what ar-moured warfare might be like.

Borglum said his tank park wasn’t the first in the United States but he knows of no others still operating. Event co-ordinator Kessa Baedke said more than 600 packages have been sold this year.The AssociATed Press

Coney Island’s Cyclone marks 85 years of thrills and chills

The ride begins with two train cars, filled with as many as 24 passengers, cautiously trekking up a hill of wooden tracks. The rattle of the ascent slowly grows louder. As the cars reach the coaster’s 85-foot peak, there’s

a short pause — followed by a swift 95 kph plunge to the bot-tom that has made stomachs churn and eyes water since Cal-vin Coolidge was in the White House.

Such a timeworn ride re-quires a great deal of atten-tion to ensure the safety of its passengers, say workers responsible for the Cyclone, the 85-year-old New York City landmark and international amusement icon that was feted Saturday with a birthday party including 25-cent rides — the same price they were on its

debut on June 26, 1927.“It takes a lot of work to

run a very old roller coaster,” said Valerio Ferrari, president of Central Amusement Inter-national, which operates the coaster.

Each morning beginning at 7 a.m., maintenance workers hike the coaster’s tracks along the walk boards in search of damaged wood and loose bolts. The cars, which are origin-als from 1927, are dismantled every winter before they under-go nondestructive testing and are reassembled.

The Cyclone may not be the oldest or tallest coaster in the nation. But it became a worldwide symbol of America’s emerging leisure class in the early 20th century.

Towering above Coney Is-land’s boisterous boardwalk at the corner of Surf Avenue and West 10th Street in Brook-lyn, the Cyclone went up after brothers Jack and Irving Rosen-thal invested $175,000 to build a dynamic new coaster that would satisfy the demand for more attractions in the area.

The result was a ride that

included 2,640 feet of track, 12 drops and 27 elevation changes. For a minute and 50 seconds, passengers aboard the Cyclone were jerked from one edge of their seat to the other, as the coaster would slow around the bends before heaving its riders down steep dips.

This was all done by design, said Jennifer Tortorici, the Cy-clone’s operations manager.

“It’s 2,640 feet of track, so if it wasn’t slow in certain areas, the cars would wind up on the beach somewhere,” she said.

Safety issues have at times

dogged the Cyclone. A worker died on the ride in 1985, Tor-torici said, and in 2008, the family of a California man who died after fracturing his neck on the ride sued the city for failing to keep the coast-er safe. A Law Department spokeswoman said the city has been indemnified and the case is pending.

The city’s Buildings De-partment conducts safety in-spections up to three times a season, according to spokes-woman Ryan FitzGibbon.The AssociATed Press

Parking in the New York Aquarium lot, $13. Also, remember to secure your personal items. The turbulence is sometimes so forceful that passengers have seen personal belong-ings fly out of their pockets. Lost items range from the typical — keys, wallets and cellphones — to the more obscure, like dentures, wigs and underwear.

Areas featured in To Rome with Love, like the Garbatella district, may be less familiar to tourists.

An Italian national flag hangs between two buildings in the Garbatella district in Rome. photos: alessandro tarantino/the associated press People crowd the main square of Rione Monti district in Rome.

Allen’s not feeling the ‘love’. Local press in Rome skewer his filmDespite Allen’s efforts to write a love letter to Rome, the movie was poorly re-ceived in Italy.

The local press has dis-missed it as embarrassing, superficial, and not funny, and the Italian public also has given it a thumbs down, although it did well on its opening weekend at the box office as curious filmgoers checked it out.

The Hollywood Reporter said it took in 2.8 million eu-ros or $3.7 million opening weekend in Italy, making it the top-grossing film in the country with the highest opening-day total for any of Allen’s films in Italy; it also pulled in huge audiences in the U.S. despite mixed re-views and a limited release its

first weekend, debuting with $379,371 in just five Amer-ican theatres.

But even with the super-ficiality of the stories and lukewarm reviews, Allen’s glowing portrayal of Rome has not gone completely un-appreciated.

“Despite the criticism, I still think it’s very nice what Allen tried to do with this film,” said Valeria Vecellio, interior designer for the cin-ema industry in Rome.

“Whether the result is a beautiful movie or, as in this case, a superficial and ironic experiment, it’s nice that he decided to pay his loving homage to Rome, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.” The AssociATed pRess

Woody Allen’s newest movie To Rome with Love casts big names like Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Judy Davis and Allen himself. But there is one excep-tional star: the Eternal City.

“This city is really special,” says Hayley (Alison Pill) to her fiance Michelangelo (Flavio Par-enti), as they stand on a terrace overlooking the Spanish Steps, one of Rome’s famous attrac-tions. “I could stand here all night, it’s too beautiful.”

Woody Allen’s Rome is beautiful, clean and sunny, a city shining in pristine beauty with no hint of real-world problems like Italy’s financial crisis. But while the movie offers an anachronistic and nostalgic postcard portrayal of Rome, Allen also goes beyond the city’s best-known locations to capture the unconventional atmosphere of neighbourhoods less familiar to tourists like Sant’Angelo, Garbatella and Rione Monti.

The movie, released in Italy on April 20 and in the U.S. on June 22, opens with the im-posing Victor Emmanuel II

monument in Piazza Venezia. Because of its shape, the monu-ment, inaugurated in 1911, has been given pejorative nick-names like “wedding cake” or “Mussolini’s typewriter.” The colossal construction has often been dismissed by locals as an unsuccessful attempt to restore classical Rome, but Allen uses it to set the stage, stationing a policeman there to introduce the city as a still and eternal wit-ness to four stories of intrigue, love, sex and adultery.

The square is where Hayley, a young American tourist, and Michelangelo, an Italian law-yer, accidentally meet. She is looking for the Trevi fountain and he offers to bring her there. They spend the day together wandering through the city’s beauty and predictably fall in love.

The central characters of the second story, Antonio (Alessan-dro Tiberi) and Milly (Alessan-dra Mastronardi), are a young married couple who just moved to Rome from a small town in the south of Italy. Milly gets lost in Rome’s chaotic streets as she searches for a hairdresser to give her a less provincial look before meeting her husband’s new co-workers. Her terrible sense of direction gives Allen the opportunity to show a wide area of Rome, starting with Milly’s wanderings through the Piazza del Popolo, one of the city’s most scenic entrances, featuring an obelisk brought

by emperor Augustus after his conquest of Egypt, twin bar-oque churches and a marble fountain with Neptune and his Tritons.

From there, Milly walks through the Campo dei Fiori neighbourhood, asks for in-formation at the Area Sacra (sacred area) of the Argentine, where Julius Caesar was said to have been murdered, and finally finds herself in Piazza Mattei, a small square in the heart of Sant’Angelo. According to a popular legend, the turtle fountain in the square was built in one night by Duke Mattei to conquer the heart of a young lady who lived in the palace in front of the square.

The movie shifts to the nar-row and picturesque streets of Trastevere. A neighbourhood of artisans’ homes and workshops since Roman times, Trastevere has in more recent decades become a fashionable district filled with restaurants, espresso bars and clubs.

Allen then switches from magnificent imperial buildings, the nostalgia-inspiring ruins seen from the Palatine, to the modernity of the Music Audi-torium built by Renzo Piano in 1995, and the English gardens and neoclassical temple of Villa Borghese. He completes his vi-sion of the city by showing the more local and unconventional locations of La Garbatella and Rione Monti. The AssociATed pRess

Rome becomes romantic again with ode to the Eternal City To Rome with Love. Woody Allen’s latest film celebrates the beauty of Rome and leaves behind Italy’s real-world problems

With the ‘Carte Isabelle,’ summertime visitors can travel the train route along the French Riviera for roughly $15. It’s a cheap way to tour the coastline, but how many stops can you reasonably fit into a day on the route between Frejus in the west and Ventimiglia, just across the border in Italy? Let’s count...

Head to the market

The first train of the day sets off at 5:30 a.m. but we begin our day at a more civilized 9 a.m., with a fortifying crois-sant and a 10-minute trot from the station to the promenade in the town of Menton. Close to the border, the old part of this Italianate town is a warren of cafés and ice

cream shops, and the covered market, where we have a coffee at the counter of the ‘Café du Marche’ before perusing the local produce: Men-ton’s famously fragrant lemons, courgettes with saffron-coloured flowers still attached and piles of red, black and golden to-matoes. Across the road we admire the works in the seafront museum dedicated to artist Jean Cocteau.

is just two minutes’ walk from the station. After ad-miring the columns in the villa’s courtyard, its octag-onal bath and second cen-tury BC cockerel mosaic, we stroll to the beach, lay our towels down and take a dip in the Mediterran-ean Sea. There’s time for a glass of wine under the orange parasols at the beach café, La Calangue.

it’s back up the hill to the Casino Monte-Carlo where tourists take photos of each other in front of the Lamborghi-nis and Ferraris parked outside. It’s a stroll round to the beach at Larvotto, where we tuck into lunch at pizza restaurant La Spiaggia.

Pierre chapel before the 7 p.m. closing time, then claim a great table in the town square outside the trendy Le Cosmo restau-rant. As we watch the sun set over the boats, we sip a cocktail and re-flect on our day. Not only did our rail pass save us money, but enabled us to see far more than we might have otherwise have done.

Turks and Caicos isn’t just an island, it’s a resort. As in the whole thing is owned by a hotel

PAT [email protected]

4reasons to hit

Turks and Caicos

1AccommodationEven when Parrot Cay is at capacity, it still feels empty as you walk miles of sugary beach.

Staying there is not ex-actly cheap, but the rates are at their lowest right now through November (triple-digit temps are the norm during this part of the year, and hurricane

season comes in early fall).

As for the prices, the lowest tier are the veranda rooms and suites. A garden-view room starts at $500 per night and can easily accommodate a couple and two small children.

The next tier, beach houses and villas, start at $2,000 per night.

ActivitiesWhether it’s the pervasive calming aroma or focus on wellness, most of Par-rot Cay’s employees exude a chilled-out vibe.

You won’t see any large signs with rules telling

you what not to do, like at some other resorts. You don’t even have to sign out the free aquatic gear you use — but if you need instruction on how to use a paddle board, windsurf-er or catamaran, the staff is there to assist.

4WellnessCelebrity cachet is merely a by-product of Parrot Cay’s main attraction: the resort’s focus on wellness.

The owners have harnessed the island’s natural therapeutic pow-ers — and by placing spa buildings on high vantage

points that overlook the ocean, they celebrate its serene landscape.

Whether you’re prac-ticing yoga or indulging in a massage — the resort has elaborate choices for each — your line of vision is nothing but verdant mangrove and turquoise ocean.

Cuisine Parrot Cay’s elaborate wellness program extends to the cuisine at Parrot Cay.

In addition to a regu-lar menu, which features plenty of decadent choic-es that you’d hope for on vacation, the restaurants offer what they call a Como Shambala menu.

This alternate delivers healthy options that don’t preclude delicious-ness.

For breakfast, try the sweet corn hotcakes with smoked salmon, avocado, roast tomatoes and cot-tage cheese.

There’s no pressure to participate in any of the wellness agenda; it’s just a means by which to achieve relaxation, which is easy to do here with or without it.

Creamy Curry Sauce turns up the heat

This recipe serves four. matthew mead/ the associated press

Grilled Chicken with Creamy Curry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup chicken broth• 1 small onion, quartered• 1/2 head garlic, cloves

peeled• 1-inch chunk fresh ginger• 1-inch chunk fresh turmeric• 2 sprigs fresh curry leaves• 2-inch cinnamon stick• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds• 1/2 tsp black peppercorns• 1/4 tsp ground coriander• 1 tsp salt• Juice of 1/2 lemon• 1/4 cup honey• 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs• 1 cup low-fat sour cream

This recipe bathes boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a delicious curry marinade. The thighs then get tossed on the grill.

Meanwhile, a bit of the marinade (which was re-served before the chicken was added) is blended with low-fat sour cream for a rich condiment to be dolloped on the chicken after it comes off

the grill. The result is a moist and richly flavoured chicken curry that is as comfortable solo on a paper plate at a barbecue as it is on a plate of rice indoors.

1. In a blender, combine the chicken broth, onion, gar-lic, ginger, turmeric, curry leaves, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, peppercorns,

coriander, salt, lemon juice and honey. Puree until very smooth. Transfer a third of the mixture to a small sauce-pan and set aside.

2. Pour the remaining mix-ture in a large zip-close plastic bag. Add the chicken thighs, then seal the bag and gently massage to ensure all of the meat is coated by the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

3. Meanwhile, set the sauce-pan of reserved marinade over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until re-duced and quite thick, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

4. When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium-high.

Coat the grates with oil using an oil-soaked paper towel grasped with tongs.

5. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until

the meat reaches 165 F.

6. While the chicken cooks, in a small bowl combine the reserved marinade and the sour cream. To serve, drizzle the sour cream mixture over the chicken. The associaTed press

CHOOSE YORK

For most people, networking is pretty much a necessary evil. For Piotr Makuch, it’s a little closer to crazy.

“The idea that people should go and network is insane,” says the fourth-year Ryerson Univer-sity student.

It’s a radical thought for someone in his position, but not for the reasons you might think. As an online marketer and vice-president of external communication for Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), Piotr regularly interacts with people, both in person and online.

Unlike most, though, he considers every moment and meeting — chance or planned — an opportunity to make a meaningful connection. He suggests looking at networking not as a work-related require-ment, but as a way of life.

“We’re actually always net-working without knowing it,” the sociology major explains. “We only call it ‘networking’ when someone with a job shows up; the rest of the time, it’s just a conversation. But that shouldn’t be the case, because every moment is a networking opportunity.”

Here, Piotr shares his advice for job seekers looking to navi-gate the often-murky waters of the networking world, includ-ing his three-step method to getting the most out of every interaction, whether personal or professional.

Step 1: PlanGoals are important. Even if you aren’t sure of what you want, it’s important to have a sense

of direction to keep you fo-cused. Planning will make any conversation easier because you’ll have a sense of where you want the conversation to eventually end up.

Never underestimate the fundamentals. Networking is about connection and you can’t do that until you’re able to an-swer the question of who you are and what you’re about in a direct and concise manner. Master and own your elevator pitch. If you don’t know what you want, no one else will either.

Step 2: InteractNetworking is like dating. You want to get to know the other person in a short amount of time, so make sure to pose plenty of the right ques-tions. Your needs will define the questions that you ask, and the conversation will be shaped by what you choose to talk about. Make sure to take away at least one unique point from every person you meet so you can start the

conversation again outside the immediate context.

During the conversation you should be reflecting every-thing back at the person to get to know them better. That way, you’re never talking about one thing for too long, and the conversation will just flow nat-urally. Maintain a light — but focused — conversation.

Step 3: Follow up

Think of the follow-up as a continuation of that first en-counter — your approach will be defined by how the original conversation went. Use the key points you took earlier to re-mind your contact of who you are and what you both talked about, and keep the message consistent with your goals. As a rule of thumb, make sure to send your note within 24 hours.Keep your online life in line

More conversations are happening online, profession-ally through LinkedIn and more casually through Twit-ter and Facebook. Make sure your online presence is in order and ready for those op-portunities when they arrive.

Can I please order a job with that salad?

It’s the other type of brunch

Lunch lesson. Any business meal can turn into an opportunity. Be prepared.

and it’s not nearly as relaxing. Business lunches are a major part of corporate culture.

The biggest mistake that young hires make at business lunches is assuming that being out of the office means they are no longer in a professional setting, says Linda Allan, a pro-fessional etiquette expert and president of Linda Allan Inc. “It doesn’t matter how formal or informal the setting, the same standard of etiquette applies.”

What standard is that you ask? Well, let’s start at the be-ginning.

Pre-lunchDress appropriately. If you’re going straight from work, this shouldn’t be a problem, but if you’re meeting someone, make sure you leave the plaid shirt and short shorts behind. Business lunch means busi-ness wear.

TalentEgg Tip

• Forthataddedtouch,Al-lanrecommendssendingahandwrittencardafterthemeetingtothankyourhostforlunch.Itdoesn’thavetobefancy,justafewsentencestoshowyourappreciationandleaveamorememorableimpressiononyourhost.

Show up earlyPunctuality and profession-alism go hand in hand and the best way to avoid being late is to show up a bit early. Allan recommends arriving around 10 minutes before your meeting. If you get to the restaurant before your host, wait in the lobby area. Don’t get seated until your lunch partner has arrived.

What’s on the menu?When it comes to ordering, play follow the leader. If your host orders a salad, don’t order the filet mignon. Try to match the price point and number of courses as your dining buddy.

The same rules apply for drinks. If your host orders al-cohol, Allan says students can order a “big kid” drink as well, but at a lunch, it’s by no means

necessary. If you decide to sip on the good stuff, limit your-self to one order and drink it slowly.

Talking shopThe host generally decides when it’s time to get down to business, says Allan, “all you have to do as an invitee to the lunch is follow the lead of the host.” If you have ques-tions that you really want answered, wait until after you’ve ordered and given your menus to the waiter. That will allow enough time for small talk and ensure that you get your answers.

Formal goodbyeThe host will signal the end of the lunch, so again, just fol-low the leader. When the time comes, make sure to get up, shake their hands and thank them for their time. Much like a good dessert, you want to make sure that you end the meal sweetly.

It’s July and eerily quiet in the office. Your cu-bicle neighbour took off to the cottage and is sure to return relaxed and a full shade darker. You stare wistfully out the window and wish

you could be out enjoying the sun. To keep motivated when you’re cooped up indoors, consider these helpful tips.News CaNada

Channel a summer’s day at your own desk

1Brighten someone’s dayBake cookies for your fellow sunshine-deprived colleagues. It will be the perfect pick-me-up for long afternoons and may even start a trend of sharing homemade goodies around the office for the summer.

2Ask for flexible hoursSee if your employer will allow you to come in to work earlier so you can leave earlier and enjoy the summer weather. Or ask to work longer hours dur-ing the week so you can have Friday afternoons off.

4Be thankfulThough it’s no fun to be staring at a computer when it seems that everyone is out soaking up the sun, remember that the job market is tough and being em-ployed is worth celebrat-ing. Besides, you can save up your vacation days and enjoy time off during non-peak seasons — meaning less crowds and less cost.3Get out there

Pick a parking spot further away from the front doors so you’ll spend more time walk-ing outside. At lunch, go out with colleagues or picnic on the grass. Try to schedule meet-ings outside or at a nearby park if possible.

All-star Williams staying with NetsDeron Williams is moving to Brooklyn with the Nets, instead of back home to Dallas.

The all-star point guard said on his Twitter page Tuesday night that he “made a very tough deci-sion today” and posted a picture of the Nets’ new team logo that accompanies their move from New Jersey to Brooklyn.

A person with know-ledge of the decision said Williams told the team he was accepting their five-year contract worth $98 million. The person confirmed the agreement on condition of anonymity because contracts can’t be signed until July 11.

Williams, the top free agent available, chose to stay with the Nets over signing with the Mavericks, who hoped they could con-vince him to come back to the area where he grew up.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Great expectations for Britain’s Murray

The lofty expectations placed on Great British Hope Andy Murray every year at Wimble-don ramped up several notch-es following Rafael Nadal’s surprising exit.

So far, Murray is coping pretty well.

Even when dealing with a rare venture away from Centre Court, the fourth-seeded Mur-ray easily dispatched Marin Cilic between rain showers in the round of 16 on Tuesday, showing no sign of the in-creased pressure he has been under since Nadal opened up the bottom half of the draw by

losing to the unheralded Lukas Rosol in the second round on Thursday.

Murray was given a stand-ing ovation by a jubilant Court One crowd after his 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Cilic, who won the grass-court Queen’s Club title in the run-up to Wimbledon.

Murray is now just two wins away from becoming the first British man to reach the final at the All England Club since Bunny Austin in 1938. Next up is a quarter-final match against seventh-seeded David Ferrer, who reached Wimbledon’s last eight for the first time with a

victory over 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro.

Given the domestic hype surrounding Murray, it prom-ises to be the standout match of the four all-European quar-ter-finals Wednesday.

Also on Tuesday, Flor-ian Mayer of Germany beat Richard Gasquet to set up a match against top-seeded No-vak Djokovic.

Germany will have two players in the quarter-finals after Philipp Kohlschreiber beat Brian Baker, ending the American’s remarkable run

at his first Wimbledon. Kohl-schreiber will play fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, while the other quarter-final will be No. 3-ranked Roger Federer against Mikhail You-zhny — who both had time to complete their wins Mon-day before rain stopped play in the other five fourth-round matches.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Raptors make move to sign Knicks’ FieldsThe Toronto Raptors have reached a verbal agree-ment on an offer sheet with restricted free agent guard Landry Fields.

Fields averaged 8.8 points and 4.2 rebounds a game last year with the New York Knicks. The Raptors can’t make the offer sheet official until July 11, at which point the Knicks would have three days to match.

The Raptors declined to comment on the report when reached by The Canadian Press, but Octagon agency, which represents Fields, confirmed to The As-sociated Press that the deal is three years and about $20 million US.

Fields was also reported in several media outlets to be part of a sign-and-trade deal between the Knicks and the Phoenix Suns for point guard Steve Nash, who is said to be highly coveted by the Raptors.The canadian pressLandry Fields Getty imaGes file

Leafs prospect McKegg hopes third time’s a charm at camp

No offence, Dale Hunter, but Greg McKegg would rather not go back to the London Knights this year.

McKegg, a gifted scorer emerging as a two-way player, would much rather make the Maple Leafs or even the Marlies.

The next step in that pro-cess is for McKegg to make a big impression at the Leafs prospects camp this week at the MasterCard Centre.

The Leafs’ third-round pick, 62nd overall, in 2010, McKegg is in his third prospects camp. He’s eligible to go back to the OHL as an overage player, but really, if his future lies with the pros, this is his time to shine.

“I have a lot of confidence

from last year,” said McKegg. “Hopefully I can bring a little offence to camp, show the brass I can play a two-way game.”

McKegg might be that diamond in the rough, a mid-round pick who makes good. He scored 49 goals two seasons ago in Erie. Last season, he was traded at the midway point and emerged as the top centre on a London Knights team that went to the Memorial Cup.

“I think (playing in) Lon-don helped a lot with trying to make the step to the next level,” said McKegg.

On Tuesday, McKegg led coach Greg Cronin’s Team White to a 4-1 win over Team Blue in the first scrimmage of the camp. McKegg scored twice. He did what a 20-year-old is supposed to do against less-experienced players: dom-inate.

“You can see he’s got the hockey savviness, the hockey IQ. He’s intelligent,” said Jim Hughes, the Leafs’ director of player development who is running the camp. “He’s gifted offensively and we know that about him. He’s just got to con-tinue to improve his skating: more power, more explosion, more quickness.” TorsTar news service

Two-bucket solution

Grit Guard is introducing its colour-coded Dual-Bucket

Washing System to its clean-ing products lineup. The

black bucket contains only clean wash solution, so after dunking your wash mitt and washing for a bit, you then

rinse the mitt in the red bucket. Dunk the mitt back

into the black bucket for more washing solution, etc.

Both buckets feature Grit Guard’s removable inserts that keep the washed-off crud at the bottom of the bucket, reducing the pos-sibility of paint scratches

or swirl marks. The buckets sit in their own dollies with casters and have individual

lids. A seat cushion included with the kit converts one bucket into a handy stool.

The Dual-Bucket System sells for $130 US and is off ered

directly from gritguard.com. WHEELBASE

Altima � nally gets a makeover

ALL PHOTOS WHEELBASE

First impressions are often lasting ones, and for new-car buyers they can also make the difference between closing the deal right then and there or searching elsewhere.

Where the 2013 Nissan Altima is concerned, most shoppers’ reactions will be, “Whoa!”

The outgoing Altima that has been around since the 2007 model year was certainly no mutt, but the new car really shows that its best-before date has come and gone. The mid-size sedan presents a graceful face, with a grille and head-light pods that almost appear to melt into the stylish fenders. The windshield pillars have a

bit more rake to them to help reduce aerodynamic drag.

At the opposite end, the knife-edge-style tail lights neatly encircle the fenders and the trunk lid’s spoiler is integrated as part of the sheet metal. Viewed in profile, the Altima doesn’t appear signifi-cantly changed, but the fan-cier chrome door handles and similarly coated trim pieces throughout attest to the car’s more glamorous presence.

The base 2.5 model’s pricing begins at $25,300 (in-cluding delivery to the dealer) and includes all the usual bells and whistles. From that point, S, SV and SL models pile on the content, but can add more than $9,000 to the base price with luxuries such as heated front seats leather interior, heated steering wheel and a power moonroof.

The Altima’s impressively restyled sheet metal and in-terior appointments, matched with seriously improved fuel economy, serve notice that this Nissan has what it takes get your attention.

“Whoa,” indeed.

Review. The Altima reset the bar for the family car back in 2002. Look what a decade has done

Interior

The interior offers about the same passenger and trunk volume as before, but a concerted effort was undertaken to replace or recover hard-plastic surfaces with soft-touch materials. Another area of focus was noise reduction, achieved by adding more sound-absorbing materials around the car.

Engine

The base 2.5-litre four-cylin-der’s output has notched up to 182 horsepower from the previous 175 due to a new valve train. An all-new con-tinuously variable transmis-sion offers fewer moving parts (reducing friction) and electronic-control improve-ments so that it more closely mimics a traditional multi-speed automatic.

Active Understeer

On the road, the Altima uses Active Understeer Control. During turning, light braking is applied to the inside wheel to counteract the natural tendency for the car to continue in straight line.

Also assisting is Nis-san’s Easy Fill Tire Alert that was initially installed in the Quest minivan.

Nissan has reduced the Altima’s overall weight by about 33 kilograms.

2013 Nissan Altima

• Type. Four-door, front-wheel-drive mid-size sedan.

• Engine (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC I4 (182); 3.5-litre DOHC V6 (270).

• Mileage: L/100 km (city/hwy) 7.4/5.0 (2.5).

• Base Price (incl. destination): $25,300.

If you recall, Nissan/Infi niti began off ering “self-healing” exterior paint. More unusual technology follows as the company has “zero gravity” front seats for the Altima that reduce pressure on the spine and improve blood fl ow. Of course, NASA was the infl uence.

Remember when taillights were on the back of a car and the headlights were on the front? With the right curves and thoughtful integration of chrome, the Altima can fi nally be called a pretty car.

Insurance is a very competitive industry, and the more you shop around, the more likely you are to find a better deal. Shopping around is far and away the best chance to save money on car insurance, as the rates charged by different insurance companies to insure the same driver, with the same car, for

the exact same coverage, can vary by hundreds and even thousands of dollars. And with so many insurance companies providing car insurance in Ontario, odds are you are not currently insured with the company that offers the best rate for your driving profile.

If your policy is not up for renewal yet, it is still worth investigating and shopping around, as you may find a better rate. Although some insurance companies charge a cancellation penalty, if your new rate is low

enough, the savings you’ll gain could be worth making the switch.

Shopping around for car insurance is one of the best ways to ensure that you’re paying the best rate based on your circumstances. It gives you the ability to compare the rate offered by your current insurance provider with other providers without any obligations. It can be time consuming when you have to make dozens of phone calls to individual insurance companies. Insurance quoting sites

like InsuranceHotline.com can help by comparing your insurance rate against over 30 car insurance companies to find you a lower rate available for your driving profile.

Why pay more for car insurance, when you could pay less?

Drivers should shop around to find a better rate.

If your nursery school report card noted you didn’t like to share and/or only did so under the threat of excommunication from the mid-morning snack program, then car2go might not be for you.

But if you normally play well with others, are 18 or older and with a valid driver’s licence, then you might con-sider this new way of getting access to a cute, little smart fortwo car as a partial solution to your transportation require-ments.

Car sharing programs are obviously not new, but car2go ramps it up a notch in several ways.

For starters, car2go is a wholly owned subsidiary of German automaker, Daimler. It’s already firmly established in 11 cities across Europe and North America. You Vancouver-ites already know that your city is among that 11, and the first Canadian one to join the party.

Toronto joined the party just this past week, on June 30. Calgary and Miami get their car2go programs later this

July. Expect announcements on other large Canadian cities later this year.

But at its launch here in To-ronto, Katie Stafford, car2go’s North American communica-tions manager, outlined the primary differentiator: “Unlike other car share programs, our cars are free floating.”

Yes, they never touch the ground, like flying saucers and

really good hovercrafts. Actual-ly, free floating refers to the fact that they never have to be returned to where you started. You can get into one wherever you find one, and end your trip at any one of the 200-plus Green P parking lots in car2go’s “Toronto Home Area,” bordered by Jane Street in the west, Eglinton Street in the north, Victoria Park Avenue in

the east, and the water of Lake Ontario in the south.

Stafford notes that car2go’s free floating nature lends it-self to more short and/or im-promptu trips than traditional car share models, which often require minimal hourly rental periods and reservations. But the vehicles can be reserved, via a smartphone app or on car2go.com.

Members only pay for the time they use the car, by the minute (35 cents), with dis-counts for hourly or daily use. If you don’t drive more than 200 km at a time, you just pay the minute/hour/day rate. No fuel. No parking. No insurance. No maintenance. No nothing. You can go only a couple of blocks or to Thunder Bay and back — your call. But on longer

hauls you’re going to get bet-ter rates from the traditional rental car outfits.

The drop off lots are not coincidentally located in the area of Toronto best served by the TTC. At the Toronto car2go launch I also met Nick Cole, the top exec for car2go’s North American initiative, and he told me that the car2go model is designed to “compliment” public transit.

“This could even be the bridge to someone utilizing public transit,” added Cole, referring to families and com-muters who need just a bit more of the flexibility car2go provides to meet all of their transportation needs across the city, but don’t want to make that big jump to car ownership.

Car sharing is obviously a movement on the rise, and frankly I’m a little surprised. I wouldn’t have thought there would have been the necessary growth in maturity among the driving populace since nursery school and kin-dergarten — that most of us can now do sharing without grimacing.

On a personal note, shar-ing is perfectly OK with me, it’s Brian I hate, Brian who always hogged the sandbox bulldozer set.

Car sharing movement takes big city steps

Green P parking lots, like this one near Queen Street West, are where members can start and end their car2go journeys. Contributed

Volvo’s new airbag designed for pedestrians

In any collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian, the pedestrian always loses. While that will never change, Volvo is counting on its new pedestrian airbag to help re-duce the severity of injuries when cars and people collide.

While other airbags are in-side the vehicle, this new air-bag is under the hood. When sensors in the front bumper detect that someone has been struck, the airbag deploys, lifting the rear of the hood slightly, and covering the area around the windshield wipers and pillars.

Raising the hood lifts it away from the engine, im-portant because many ped-estrians are injured when the hood buckles and they’re slammed against the hard en-gine components below. The

wiper and pillar areas are also hard and more likely to cause serious injury.

“When the car is travelling between 20 and 50 km/h and it senses that it’s impacting a pedestrian’s leg, a num-ber of things are actuated,” says Thomas Broberg, senior technical advisor for safety at Volvo Cars.

“One of the joints at the

rear end of the hood is re-leased pyrotechnically, and then the airbag lifts the hood at the same time it’s de-ploying over the wiper area. Then spring-loaded joints kick in to keep the hood in position. There are a lot of things that happen at the same time, and it’s in milli-seconds.”

It was a challenge to

develop the airbag, since temperatures in the engine compartment fluctuate con-siderably, and it must be pro-tected from moisture.

“The sensors along the bumper recognize the impact of a human-like mass and form, compared to other ob-jects that you might hit, like a grocery store cart,” Broberg says.

“It doesn’t go off if the car isn’t moving, so if people are coming home from the pub and they start kicking cars, they can kick as long as they want, and it won’t go off. And it won’t go off if you’re work-ing under the hood, unless you’re trying to repair your car when it’s travelling at 50 km/h.”

Some Volvo vehicles auto-

matically brake when they sense a pedestrian walking out in front.

Broberg says that at lower speeds, the collision might be avoided entirely.

If the car is travelling above the airbag’s 50 km/h threshold, the auto-braking might not be able to stop the car in time, but could poten-tially bring the speed down to the point that the airbag would deploy and help to re-duce human injury.

Driving Force. All cars focus on protecting the driver and passengers, but this feature takes safety to another level

Don’t worry, this airbag won’t deploy if a shopping cart hits your bumper. VolVo Cars

Aries | March 21 - April 20. You know what needs to be done and you know you have what it takes to make a good job of it — so what are you waiting for? Act now!

Taurus | April 21 - May 21. You may be having second thoughts about a project you are involved with, but planets warn it’d be wrong to make changes at this stage.

Gemini | May 22 - June 20. What people say and what they mean will be two different things today. Assume that nothing you hear can be taken for granted.

Cancer | June 21 - July 22. You may find yourself at a loss to explain why certain things are hap-pening but your senses tell you they are, so all you can really do is decide how to react. Doing something is better than doing nothing.

Leo | July 23 - Aug. 22. Mercury in your sign will help you outsmart those who think you can be easily manipulated. They’re wrong.

Virgo | Aug. 23 - Sept. 22. Chances are you will mislead your-self about something today — the kind of thing that 99 times out of 100 would not fool you at all.

Libra | Sept. 23 - Oct. 22. You know your way of looking at the world is best but you won’t be able to convince loves ones and work col-leagues of that today. They have as much right to be wrong as you.

Scorpio | Oct. 23 - Nov. 21. You will hear something you do not agree with today but don’t make an issue of it. Others can rant and rave, and make fools of themselves if they so wish, but you know it is better to be self-controlled.

Sagittarius | Nov. 22 - Dec. 21. Today’s cosmic activity will encourage you to focus on down-to-earth matters such as how to pay the bills and make ends meet.

Capricorn | Dec. 22 - Jan 20. Do whatever it takes to avoid feelings of doom today. If you get stuck in a bad mood now, you may not be able to snap out of it until the weekend at the earliest.

Aquarius | Jan. 21 - Feb 18. Don’t try to second guess partners and loved ones today because there is a danger you will get it wrong.

Pisces | Feb. 19 - March 20. You may think you know what’s going on at work, but do you? Mer-cury’s link to Pluto warns you may have logic twisted, so try to stand back from the situation and see the wider picture. SAlly brOMptON
