Concerns over review process School closures. Rural needs, adversarial process brought up Teachers, parents and residents from around HRM voiced concerns Tuesday that the full social picture and community value of a school was not being captured in the current review process that pits schools against one another. About 70 people attended the Department of Education’s public consultation at Dartmouth High School Tuesday night, where residents were asked to give feedback on how to improve the school-closures process. “It’s not just the school … versus the school board, it’s also me and my school versus you and your school because everyone’s trying to protect themselves,” said Trina Hubley, School Advisory Council (SAC) chair for Dutch Settlement Elementary School.

In April, then-education minister Ramona Jennex asked the school boards to suspend all closures until next year, saying the review process had become adversarial. Dorota Forfa lives in Halifax’s north end, and said cultural diversity should be taken into account when a school is reviewed. She added the review should look at how a closure would affect single mothers or low-income families, and should create a direct community representative role. “The SAC in some ways might be too limiting, you just get to respond to something that you’re almost accused of: your school’s up for closure,” Forfa said. Many spoke about having Like ... teamwork?

“We should have a more collaborative approach.” Trina Hubley, School Advisory Council chair for Dutch Settlement Elementary School

some way of acknowledging how much volunteer work parents and community members spend in a school, and how independent engineers should be gathering data on the physical state of the buildings. Alex Beckett, SAC member with Shatford Memorial Elementary in Hubbards, said going through the process was “very frustrating” because they were operating with different data about the building and felt the board didn’t look at alternatives. “Government should have the courage … to say ‘We recognize by closing these schools we are retiring that community,’” Beckett said. Bob Fowler, chair of the process review committee, said all the feedback will be passed to Education Minister Karen Casey by the end of February so she can have all the information to make any process changes before the next fiscal year begins.

N.S. snowboarder rides to Olympic berth Sochi. Kingsburg woman named to Canadian team after clinching top national ranking in weekend event A Lunenburg County snowboarder has been named to Canada’s Olympic team, bringing the total number of Nova Scotians on the contingent to two. Alex Duckworth, 26, of Kingsburg, was virtually guaranteed a berth to Sochi after becoming the top-ranked Canadian woman in the halfpipe at a weekend Snowboard World Cup event in Quebec. However, she said it was still a relief to hear the official announcement Tuesday afternoon. “It becomes a bit more of a reality after today, which is nice,” she said. “We’ve been biting our lips over the weekend just waiting for everything to solidify, and now’s when we really get to enjoy the process.” With the opening ceremony just over two weeks away, Duckworth doesn’t

She said she’s headed back to her training base in Whistler for the next few days before leaving with the Canadian team for 10 days of practice in Switzerland. “That’s where we’ll do a bit more training in a halfpipe and get a bit more acclimatized to the right time zone,” said Duckworth. It’s Duckworth’s first Olympics, but not her first trip to Sochi. She said she’s looking forward to seeing the official venues after a test event last year.

Kirwan trial. Fibres on bloody top also at scene of alleged confinement, chemist tells courtroom An expert has testified that fibres on a bloody tank top were also found in the camper where the Crown alleges a 19-year-old Nova Scotia woman was confined before she was murdered. The testimony from RCMP forensic chemist Steven Pitts was heard today during the first-degree murder trial of Christopher Alexander Falconer in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Pictou. Amber Kirwan went missing in New Glasgow after midnight on Oct. 9, 2011, and her body was found about a month later near a logging road. Pitts also testified a piece of torn black cloth found on the camper floor matched the sweater Kirwan was wearing the night she disappeared.

In a slightly unusual step, Halifax Regional Police and the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation have both taken precautions related to the release of a drunk driver who killed two people. Michael Gerard Cooper, 55, was released from a federal penitentiary Tuesday morning after serving a full seven-year sentence for two counts of impaired driving causing death in the killing of Angela Smits, 19, and her boyfriend Michael MacLean, 20, in May 2007 following an accident in Cape Breton. Cooper has elected to live in HRM, prompting local police to issue a notification to residents under the high-risk offender information protocol — typically reserved for violent criminals or sex offenders. “It’s only used in exceptional cases when there is a risk that someone may reoffend and cause significant harms to the community,” said Halifax Regional Police

Employees at The Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation have been instructed to call 911 if they see Cooper at one of their locations. Jeff Harper/Metro Good call

Const. Pierre Bourdages. Smits’ parents made public pleas this week for Cooper’s photo to be posted in Nova Scotia liquor stores and bars because he told the parole board he’d drink and drive again once released. “You admitted to your pattern of drinking and driving and stated that you would likely consume alcohol and drive a motor

vehicle regardless of whether or not a special condition or a court order was imposed,” a parole board official wrote last March after a hearing that denied early release. A spokesperson for the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation said Tuesday that Cooper’s photo has been sent to all its stores provincewide. Employees have been told

to contact 911 if they see Cooper on NSLC premises. “As part of his release conditions he’s not to be anywhere that sells alcohol as a primary source of business, so in many regards that would be sort of a crime in progress and we’d always involve the police in that case,” said NSLC spokesperson Mike Maloney. Bourdages said police will be checking up on Cooper regularly, but said citizens can call 911 if they see him violating his release conditions, which include a ban on buying or consuming alcohol and driving.

Cuddly as a cactus: Halifax police finally get their ‘Grinch’ Remanded

Arrest. Man accused of stealing presents from under Christmas tree At long last, the man Halifax Regional Police have dubbed ‘The Grinch’ has been arrested. What’s more, the force is giving the public a pat on the back for helping to make it happen. Around 4 p.m. on Dec. 19, police say a man realized his Dartmouth home had been broken into when he returned from work. A review of security camera footage inside the house showed a suspect breaking into the Athorpe Drive home around 11:20 a.m. Police say the man stole a number of wrapped Christmas gifts, electronics and collectors coins before leaving the area on foot.

• Zachary Dean McEwen has been remanded to the Central Nova Correctional Facility in Burnside until his next court appearance Friday.

Halifax police say they had been searching for this man after he allegedly broke into a Dartmouth home and stole Christmas presents on Dec. 19. police handout

After releasing a video of the break-in on Dec. 23, several tips came in and police identified a suspect. However, finding him proved to be difficult.

Finally, on Monday night, police say they arrested 36-yearold Zachary Dean McEwen of Halifax without incident at a residence on Ruben Court in Dartmouth.

Another storm headed here Haligonians are expected to be digging out Wednesday from another major winter storm as Environment Canada issued a blizzard warning for the region on Tuesday. The storm was forecast to begin overnight and continue throughout the day, with as much as 30 centimetres of snow predicted for all areas of HRM by the time Wednesday evening rolls around. Strong winds are accompanying the storm as well, leading to blowing snow. The forecast was calling for wind gusts of up to 70 kilometres per hour. North of Gaspe, Que.

Eastern areas of the province may get snow mixed with ice pellets, and possibly even rain for some parts of Cape Breton. The winter parking ban was in effect for overnight, and will likely be again Wednesday night as the storm cleanup continues. This is the second blizzard warning issued for Halifax this month. On Jan. 3, near white conditions blanketed much of the province from a fierce storm that brought more than 30 centimetres of snow to some parts of the province. Metro was north of Gaspe, Que., when a fire broke out in the area of the engine room on Sunday. Murray says the blaze was extinguished by crew members and no one was hurt. He says no oil or chemicals were spilled into the ocean during the incident. Murray says the Algonova — which had left from Halifax on Friday — was ordered back to Sydney for inspection and is expected to arrive on Wednesday. The Canadian Press

Man charged with attempted murder The RCMP say a 67-year-old man faces an attempted murder charge following a shooting incident. Neale Wagstaff is to return to provincial court in Amherst on March 3. The Mounties say a shot was fired at a pickup truck as its occupant was trying to get out last Thursday. The Canadian Press

“We’ve been trying to arrest this individual for about three weeks now,” said police spokesman Const. Pierre Bourdages. “It was very hard to locate where he was, and we also

believe he was trying to hide from us.” Bourdages said the public’s interest helped them solve this case. He said “it was overwhelming” how much the

video they released was shared on social media sites, and dozens of tips came in pointing to who the person was. “It does show when people get together, and talk about these crimes … it helps us tremendously,” Bourdages said. Police said McEwen is well known to them and has about 40 criminal convictions. McEwen appeared in Dartmouth provincial court Tuesday to face a charge of break and enter. He will be back in court Friday for a show cause hearing. Philip Croucher/Metro

Crested caracara.

For the past 10 days, a crested caracara has been

spotted in the Frenchvale and Balls Creek area — far north of its usual home in Mexico and the southern U.S. Also called a Mexican eagle, the caracara is essentially a tropical falcon version of a vulture. But instead of its usual diet of lizards, snakes and carrion, this bird has been joining local seagulls and crows at neighbourhood bird feeders.

this area has the highest rate of cancer in Canada. One in three Atlantic Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, compared to one in four in British Columbia, which is a “dramatic” difference, said Thompson. Thompson said toenails have “very serious science” behind them because scientists can use them to see how much arsenic and heavy metals are in a person’s body. Arsenic is a known factor in bladder and kidney cancer, said Thompson, and they’re looking for connections between arsenic found in well water and the health of Atlantic residents. “We can track … who over a period of time gets cancer and who doesn’t, what can be done about it,

and also to inform people of the risks of arsenic in their water,” Thompson said Thompson said residents between the ages of 35 and 69 can still take part, since 34,000 people have participated so far out of the ideal goal of 40,000. The researchers knew their toenail collection would set a record if Guinness accepted their claim, because they created the category for most sets of toenail clippings. “It’s pretty neat,” Thompson said, adding there will be a “knock-down, dragout” argument among the team to decide who will hang the certificate on their wall. “(The certificate) says ‘officially amazing.’ I like the thought that I’m 1/25,000 of being officially amazing.”

The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader reports officers arrested 35-year-old Anthony Lescowitch less than two hours after he shared a wanted photo of himself and taunted police for not being able to find him. Police in Freeland say Lescowitch shared the wanted bulletin minutes after they posted it on the department Facebook

When the officer suggested a smoke instead, he agreed to meet the “woman” who would soon arrest him. Police say Lescowitch agreed to meet with the officer for a cigarette, and was arrested at the agreed-upon location. Lescowitch remained in jail Tuesday.

The mayor pledged to clean up his act, but this vid shows he has not done that, says a council member Toronto Mayor Rob Ford ended weeks of adamant vows that he had given up alcohol by admitting Tuesday that he was drinking the previous night, after a video emerged of him in a rambling, profane rant.

Ford admitted he had been drinking, but said it was on his “own time.” “I was with some friends and what I do in my personal life with my personal friends, that’s up to me,” Ford told reporters outside his city hall office. “It really has nothing to do with you guys.” The mayor denied that he was on drugs the previous night but wouldn’t say how he got home from the restaurant in that state. In the video Ford uses profanity, appears to imitate a Jamaican accent and uses the Jamaican swear word bumbaclot, references Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair and counter-surveillance, though full sentences

councillor, said the mayor’s interpretation of “supposedly being Jamaican” was offensive. He called it another unfortunate situation in the “unravelling of Rob Ford,” saying many fellow councillors were skeptical of Ford’s claims of sobriety. A user of the social media site Instagram posted a photo around midnight of the mayor posing with two men and identified the location as Steak Queen. Coun. Joe Mihevic said it appeared from the video that Ford was “off the wagon.” “It was his commitment that he would clean up his act,” Mihevic said. “What this shows is that he has not done that.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Throngs delighted by Harper’s Israeli stance

Crowds of Israelis literally reached out to touch Stephen Harper on Tuesday as he basked in a hero’s welcome at the sacred Western Wall, shortly after he and his Israeli counterpart insisted their countries do, indeed, have differences of opinion. The prime minister’s jampacked second full day in Israel included a morning chat with President Shimon Peres, as well as a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and six Canadian cabinet ministers, including John Baird and Jason Kenney.

Netanyahu and his wife then accompanied Harper and his wife Laureen to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum for a harrowing look back at the horrors perpetrated on the Jews by Nazi Germany. “They are remembered always, in our hearts, in our prayers and most importantly in our resolve,” Harper wrote in the museum guest book. “Never again.” The loquacious Israeli leader explained much of what the Harpers saw at the museum, an elegant building designed by Canadian architect Moshe Saf-

die that’s situated on a sunny Israeli hilltop speckled with majestic cedars. Netanyahu spoke at length at every stop of the tour, explaining the exhibits to the Harpers. At the end of the visit, they stopped in the Hall of Names, where the names of Holocaust victims are permanently preserved. Just after sunset, the prime minister was greeted by hundreds of onlookers who cheered and reached out their hands to touch him as he made his way from his vehicle to the wall.

Historic address

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s official tours don’t often generate international headlines, but Monday’s historic address to Israel’s parliament was an exception. • Israeli press was most positive about Harper’s speech, in which he accused those who blame the country for problems in the Middle East of being anti-Semitic.

Tickets. Sochi scrambling to fill seats amid expense, terrorism concerns What if they held an Olympics and nobody came? The situation isn’t that bleak for the Sochi Games. Yet, with less than three weeks to go until the opening ceremony, hundreds of thousands of tickets remain unsold, raising the prospect of empty seats and a lack of atmosphere at Russia’s first Winter Olympics. There are signs that many foreign fans are staying away, turned off by terrorist threats, expensive flights and hotels, long travel distances, a shortage of tourist attractions in the area and the hassle of obtaining visas and spectator passes. “Some people are scared it costs too much and other people are scared because of security,” senior International Olympic Committee member Gerhard Heiberg of Norway said. “From my country, I know that several people and companies are not going for these two reasons. Of course, there will be Norwegians there, but

not as many as we are used to.” Sochi organizers announced last week that 70 per cent of tickets have been sold for the games, which run from Feb. 7-23 and represent a symbol of pride and prestige for Russia and President Vladimir Putin. So what about the remaining 30 per cent? “We are keeping a special quota for those who come for the games, so that they can indeed buy tickets for the competitions,” organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said. “Tickets are being snapped up fast, with the most popular events being hockey, biathlon, figure skating, freestyle and snowboard,” the organizing committee said in a statement. “With 70 per cent of tickets already sold and another ticketing office opening shortly, we are expecting strong lastminute ticket sales and do not envisage having empty seats.”

Russian forces hunting Young man... Olympic potential bombers band may play gay anthem the associated press

as a ‘signal’ of solidarity The Dutch brass band that always performs at Olympic speed skating ovals is considering playing a popular gay song, Village People’s YMCA, at the Sochi Winter Olympics to show its support for gay rights. It remains to be seen how Russian and Olympic authorities would react should the Kleintje Pils band play a song widely considered to be a gay anthem. A ban on information about “non-traditional

sexual relations” signed into law by Russian President Vladimir Putin has provoked widespread international outrage from critics who believe it discriminates against gays. Bandleader Ruud Bakker said on Tuesday that Kleintje Pils could mix YMCA in its singalong repertoire as “a signal.” But he added that the band didn’t want to antagonize organizers or turn its performances into a “political game.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I’d like to correct misinformation in Stephen Kimber’s column on Jan. 20 regarding the provincial electricity review and Efficiency Nova Scotia. Mr. Kimber is generally very thoughtful and well researched in his columns. Unfortunately, in the case of this column, almost all of the statements about the commitments of our government, purpose of the electricity review, and what we have already done are inaccurate. During the election we committed to remove the Efficiency Nova Scotia tax from power bills and update how we pay for these programs. This charge will come off on Jan. 1, 2015, the earliest date possible given the UARB had set rates for 2014. We will also ensure the tools are in place for the long term sustainability of efficiency programs in the province, and implement the latest best practices. To suggest our government is against efficiency programs fails to recognize our commitment to ensuring the long term performance and viability of efficiency programs and that those who can most benefit from efficiency programs can access the programs. Our government also committed to opening

the market to renewable energy suppliers. This was our first piece of legislation and is now law. In this legislation we recognized more is needed and we made a commitment to work with Nova Scotians on defining our electricity market of the future. Nova Scotians are concerned about electricity prices. This is correct. But Mr. Kimber is wrong to suggest this concern is the sole purpose of the electricity review. The publicly available scope of work outlines a number of areas the review will address including new technologies, environmental performance, research and development opportunities, community energy, and so much more. Rates have to be part of the discussion as competitive rates are important, but they are only part of the discussion. There is no set outcome for this process. In fact, Nova Scotians are being asked at each step of the way to help specify the scope and issues to be covered, and the options to consider. There are a lot of ideas out there. The reality is we are committed to working with Nova Scotians on the future of Nova Scotia’s electricity system. We continue to welcome comments on the scope of work of the review until Feb. 7, so please have your say at novascotia.ca/ electricityfuture. Andrew Younger, Minister of Energy

Frankenstein’s creation is back from the dead, again IN FOCUS

Richard Crouse scene@metronews.ca

The eight-foot-tall, gruesomely ugly creation of Victor Frankenstein has been called many things. In the original Mary Shelley novel he is named The Ogre. In the credits of the Boris Karloff film he is referred to as The Monster. He’s also been called a fiend, the thing and the demon. All those terms are apt for a creature born of dead body parts but a new movie adds a different name to the list — Adam. As in Adam Frankenstein. I, Frankenstein stars Aaron Eckhart as Adam, the prefab man. He’s now an immortal martial arts expert battling a war between rival clans in an ancient city. The character takes the name from the Shelley book. Sort of. Shelley never gave the monster a name. People often mistakenly refer to him as Frankenstein, but in the novel the creature says to Victor, “I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel.” Whatever you want to call him, Frankenstein’s Monster has always been a popular char-

acter in the movies. The most famous film featuring the creature has to be Boris Karloff’s 1931 classic, but it wasn’t the first. Five silent films, one with the dramatic title Life Without Soul and another that featured the brute emerging from a cauldron of fiery chemicals, all played to packed houses. From those dramatic beginnings dozens of movies followed. Robert De Niro played the beast in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. On the set director Kenneth Branagh banned the word “monster,” insisting instead that everyone refer to the creature the same way he is billed in the credits, as “The Sharp Featured Man.” Frankenstein: The College Years is basically an unlikely mix of Shelley’s story and Encino Man. Directed by Tom Shadyac, this 1991 comedy sees college student Mark (William Ragsdale) reanimate Dr. Frankenstein’s creature who then becomes a football star and a big man on campus known as Frank N. Stein (Vincent Hammond). “He blends right in,” says Mark of the six-foot-nine Frank. “He’s a regular invisible man.” The movie The Bride, a 1985 remake of The Bride of Frankenstein starring Sting and Jennifer Beals, gave the fiend yet another name. He was dubbed Viktor but not in tribute to his creator Victor Frankenstein. In this retelling the good doctor is known as Baron Charles Frankenstein. The name Viktor was chosen in tribute to the film’s producer Victor Drai.

Eckhart takes on monster of a role I, Frankenstein. Chiseled actor takes his turn at the manmade monster in new sci-fi fantasy flick chris Alexander

scene@metronews.ca

Since that fevered night over a century past, when writer Mary Shelley, her hubby Percy and their pals Byron and Polidori got silly on sex and substances and helped birth her masterpiece of gothic horror Frankenstein, popular culture has mined and exploited the novel’s concepts in a myriad of media to varying effect. The latest stab at the man-made monster mythology is I, Frankenstein, an adaptation of the samenamed graphic novel by actor-writer Kevin Grevioux (Underworld). It stars The Dark Knight’s Aaron Eckhart as Adam, the good doctor’s undying creation who channels Clint Eastwood’s “man with no name” by wandering into a war between two enemy camps; in this case gargoyles and demons. It’s an outrageous concept, but what really appealed to the celebrated actor was its focus on character. “I think that for the audi-

ence, the movie is an action-packed, fantastic, science fiction, horror film,” Eckhart says. “But for me it’s a personal thing, a personal film

contributed

about a father and son and, really, that idea goes back to the book. It’s a film that marries that idea with the monster’s fighting skills and this other world he

ends up in, looking for his soul and his purpose in life.” Eckhart’s resumé is diverse. From his recent aforementioned turn as Harvey

Dent Two-Face in The Dark Knight to his macho role in Erin Brockovich to his extensive work with director Neil LaBute in films like In the Company of Men and

Nurse Betty. But as random as his professional trajectory may seem, the actor has a dedicated criteria to choosing his parts. “It’s all about falling in love with my character,” Eckhart claims. “When I’m reading a script and suddenly, my five senses kick in, then I know it’s right. Then I gravitate towards the director, which is important. A real director can make good material great and the reverse is almost never true. Ultimately, I’m just trying to act in quality projects, I’m not a careerist.” With I, Frankenstein, Eckhart is immersed in a miasma of baroque, deft visual effects to goose the film’s allegorical melodrama. And better still, Eckhart is supported by another great actor, genre favourite Bill Nighy, who, like Grevioux, is also a veteran of the Underworld films. Nighy plays the evil lord of the demons and is indeed enabled by Australian writer-director Stuart Beattie, a talent that Eckhart is in awe of. “Stuart is a real creator, a master over his material.” Eckhart says. “He loves to collaborate and has a fantastic imaginative mind, which he really put to use here. I think he created a world that people will enjoy, absolutely pure, thrilling escapism.”

Actor’s rising star won’t stop Sherlock ...for now. Even with a busy schedule, Benedict Cumberbatch says he’s intent on playing the sleuth as long as people keep watching As if you didn’t like him enough already, Benedict Cumberbatch takes public transit. He also says he does his own shopping and doesn’t have “minions” to do his bedding. He was also apologetic to fans — derogatorily called “Cumberbitches” by some — who had staked out the Langham Huntington hotel in Pasadena waiting for an autograph. He told television critics that he “felt guilty” because he had to run past them because he was late for his panel. “The attention is kind and extraordinary and a little bit unnerving. They are supportive, loyal and by and large intelligent, and some of them normal,” he said. “I really get a kick out of it.” Before Cumberbatch became the global heartthrob he is today — with breakout roles as Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness, or as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate, or even as Smaug the Necromancer in the Hobbit franchise — he was known as Sherlock Holmes on PBS’s Masterpiece. An adored cult figure, but nothing close to the hysteria that surrounds him now. Cumberbatch said he first

Tom Mison predicts fans are in for a sleepless night British actor Tom Mison, who plays Ichabod Crane on the series Sleepy Hollow, said in a recent interview that in the twohour season one finale, airing Monday evening, “There will be so many revelations and so many shocks that you’ll want to stay up and scream at a wall and probably hit your head against a wall and so many surprises that you’re gonna kick yourself that you didn’t see some of these coming.” It might sound dramatic, but the actor said he believes

the fans will be surprised because of clues they likely missed along the way. “The seeds have been sewn throughout the season, clues as to what’s coming, and as far as I know, nobody’s really guessed anything,” Mison said. Sleepy Hollow is described as a retelling of the Washington Irving short story but set in the modern day. Ichabod has awoken two centuries after being killed in the Revolutionary War. He must adjust to this new time period, battle the headless horseman and prevent the looming apocalypse. “There’s nothing else like it really,” Mison said. “If you’re a fan of procedurals then you’ll like it. If you’re a fan of horror then you’ll like it.” Plus it’s funny, especially as

Ichabod tries to get comfortable in the 21st century. One especially humorous scene features him pouring his heart out to the OnStar voice in a car. The cast and crew are on hiatus before season 2 begins filming, and Mison said he can’t wait to return to work. “After a very, very strenuous hardworking season it’s so nice that I haven’t left it thinking, ‘I need to go and lie down,”’ he said. “Instead it’s that I can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen.” Sleepy Hollow is the 31-year-old actor’s first job in America. His work on the show has received praise from critics and put him on various 2013 lists of rising stars and actors to watch. the associated press

Gay pride anthems to take centre stage

Grammys

Ringo finally gets some love Ringo Starr got an early start to Grammy week, with famous friends honouring him for his life and work. The former Beatle received the Lifetime of Peace and Love award from the David Lynch Foundation on Monday during a tribute concert at the El Rey Theatre in L.A.

In turn, Starr led the crowd in singing happy birthday to Lynch, who turned 68th. Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono expressed their love for Starr via videos, while George Harrison’s widow, Olivia, was in the crowd. Starr and McCartney will perform separately at Sunday’s Grammy Awards. “It’s really great to look out and see all these people I recognize and three of them are meditating,” Starr

said onstage. Lynch’s foundation helps provide scholarships to teach transcendental meditation — a practice the Beatles dabbled in — to at-risk youth, vets and domestic violence victims. “Everybody loves Ringo,” Lynch said. “Not just because he’s a Beatle, not just because he’s one of the tastiest drummers ever, but because he radiates that peace and love.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Grammys. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis up for coveted song of the year award for their hit song with a social message In just six hours, Mary Lambert’s life changed drastically. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis had written and produced a song called Same Love, but they needed a special hook to finalize the emotional track. Like the rap duo, Lambert is from Seattle, though she had never met them before. “I was sort of a last resort,” said Lambert. “It was a match made in heaven.”

Lambert was given “about two or three hours” to write the song’s chorus and then record it the same night in front of the breakthrough newcomers, who were instantly impressed by the soft singer. “They loved it. It was like this beautiful minute of silence after I sung the chorus,” she recalled. Others love it too, including members of the Recording Academy. Same Love is nominated for the coveted song of the year at Sunday’s Grammy Awards, pitting the rap song supporting gay love and acceptance against No. 1 smashes from Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Lorde and Pink. Same Love didn’t top the charts. It peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100, but it sold two mil-

lion copies and helped propel Macklemore & Ryan Lewis to even greater heights. The duo is nominated for seven awards, including best new artist and album of the year for The Heist. Lambert, who is openly gay, said having her first mainstream song be about a topic that’s close to home and nominated for a top Grammy at the same time is a blessing. The Grammys also will celebrate another song about gay pride Sunday with Sara Bareilles’ Brave, which she wrote to encourage her friend to come out of the closet. It’s nominated for best pop solo performance and appears on her third album, The Blessed Unrest, which is up for album of the year.

Osbourne throws her hands in the air like she just don’t care (and like she got totally blotto) Joan Rivers is a pro when it comes to dealing with hecklers at her stand-up shows, but what about when the nuisance is caused by a co-worker? A seemingly intoxicated Kelly Osbourne reportedly made quite a scene at Fashion Police co-host Rivers’ recent gig in Los Angeles, according to Radar Online. “Kelly had one drink before the show started, and then during the show she got up and went to the bar to get even more drinks,” a source

says. “Kelly was yelling things out to Joan during the show when no one else was and she was throwing her hands up in the air. She was doing it obnoxiously. Everyone around her thought she was drunk.” After the show, another witness spotted Osbourne “banging on the door to get backstage after the show. She grabbed her friend as she was leaving and was hanging onto him. It seemed so obvious that she had been drinking.”

Russell’s unsure of his own Fast & Furious role Calling his late cast mate Paul Walker “a terrific guy,” Kurt Russell says he’s not sure what will happen with his role in the latest Fast & Furious movie. Russell joined the seventh film in the franchise and plays a father figure to Vin Diesel’s character Dominic Toretto. The 62-year-old actor said he had one day left of filming when Walker died in a car crash outside Los Angeles last November.

“They’re having to rewrite, they’re having to do whatever they’re having to do to deal with the situation. Listen, it’s catastrophic. It’s the worst thing that could happen to a movie, but it’s not as bad as what happened to Paul,” Russell said in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival. The latest film in the fast-car franchise, directed by James Wan, is now set for release in April 2015. The associated press

‘God, sex and alcohol’: The Kanye way

Justin Bieber leaves his autograph... in the snow Melinda Taub

Metro World News

What’s the best way to distract from a sexting scandal, alleged drug abuse and possible criminal vandalism charges? How about adding public urination into the mix? That’s the strategy that Justin Bieber is reportedly deploying, at any rate. Biebs and his posse are in Colorado right now. They were on the road when the pop star felt the sudden call of nature and

decided to pull over to relieve himself. But not in the woods or off the freeway — rather, in the affluent residential neighbourhood of Snowmass. According to TMZ, local residents looked on in shock as Bieber peed in the snow right in front of them. After he’d zipped up and headed off to take care of whatever important Bieber business he was pursuing, they crept up to the scene of the crime and found that he’d whizzed his initials into the snow. At least he’s creative. Most celebrities’ downward spirals are pretty boring, at least from the outside: drugs, booze, drugs, girls, fights, drugs. Bieber has all of that, but also public urination and pranks.

If you were curious as to how Kanye West coped with the aftermath of his infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards stage-crashing of Taylor Swift, it was with “God, sex and alcohol,” he tells 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen in a feature for Interview Magazine. “I don’t

Fans of the Beatles are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the band’s U.S. televised debut. While it all culminates with a star-studded Los Angeles tribute concert (to be televised Feb. 9), there are many other ways to honour the Fab Four around the globe.

5 STEVE GOW

life@metronews.ca

The birthplace of the Beatles. There’s perhaps no better place to bathe in Beatlemania than Liverpool. Whether it’s touring the Beatles Story museum — which boasts the biggest permanent exhibition faithful to the Fab Four — visiting the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney or sleeping at the Yellow Submarine Hotel floating in historic Albert Dock, the Merseyside city is the epicentre for fans. Be sure to stop by the infamous Cavern Club and grab a pint where The Beatles performed over 290 shows in their early days. Songs to highlight your visit: Penny Lane, Yellow Submarine

Stops on a Magical Mystery Tour

On the bucket list of most Fab Four followers is getting to London’s famous Abbey Road. Located in the St. John’s Wood district of the English capital (don’t get confused with the Abbey Road transit station in the east end), this simple crosswalk is where many Beatlemaniacs recreate the iconic street-crossing cover of group’s last recorded album. While the actual Abbey Road Studios is a short stroll away, don’t expect much access to the Beatles’ famous song salon. It’s still a world-class workshop for musicians. Songs to highlight your visit: Come Together, Something

Love, Las Vegas

Strawberry Fields, New York

Imagine Peace Tower, Iceland

Since 2006, Las Vegas has been an unlikely destination for Beatles fans by playing host to Love, the fabulous Cirque du Soleil show designed to celebrate the group’s music. Created by Cirque founder Guy Laliberté and legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin, the Grammy-winning musical brings the songs to life. Songs to highlight your visit: Octopus’ Garden, All You Need is Love

John Lennon may have lived in Manhattan for less than a decade, but he left an indelible mark on the city. With an entrance directly across from the Dakota apartments (where Lennon lived for the latter part of his life), Strawberry Fields in Central Park is a large, serene memorial garden dedicated to Lennon. A short walk through will reveal the famous Imagine pathway mosaic. Songs to highlight your visit: Strawberry Fields Forever, Imagine

The Beatles’ legacy has even pervaded the north. Visitors to Videy Island near Iceland’s capital of Reykjavik can see the Imagine Peace Tower that was built to honour John Lennon. Created by Yoko Ono, the tower bears the words “imagine peace” in 24 languages, and the memorial often sends beams of lights toward the skies. Songs to highlight your visit: Across the Universe, The Ballad of John and Yoko

Does a Tahiti trip tickle your fancy? Paradise, please. A personal travel consultant offers his take on the quintessential dream destination ON THE MOVE

Loren Christie life@metronews.ca

Have the winter blahs got you dreaming of a tropical paradise? According to my personal travel consultant, Carl Henderson, it doesn’t get any better than Tahiti. Here’s what he had to say about the dream destination. What is Tahiti?

Like Hawaii and the Hawaiian Islands, Tahiti is the name commonly used to refer to a network of hundreds of different islands that make up French Polynesia. In fact, Tahiti is only one island out of six or seven that tourists tend to visit. It is also home to Papeete, the capital city where international flights arrive. From there the most popular route is to head to the island of Moorea for a few days, which is about a half hour ferry ride or seven minute flight away, and then continue over to Bora Bora. What are the highlights? Moorea and Bora Bora are a must. Moorea offers an incredible land experience, whether you rent a car or join a tour.

I recommend the guided ATV or 4 x4 tours to the interior where you can get up close and personal with a volcano. Guides give you great insight into the culture and history of the islands. Bora Bora is all about the water and the lagoon. Get out on the water, snorkel, dive, jet ski, sail or try out a stand up paddle board. It doesn’t matter, it’s all good. The lagoons are filled with marine life; sharks, stingrays and amazing coral gardens.

is a high-end destination. Expect to pay at least $300 a night for a basic room on Moorea or some of the smaller islands. After that, the sky is the limit. Those picturesque overthe-water bungalows are easily $1,500 a night.

Fly via Los Angeles as it offers the most connections. I also like flying with Air Tahiti Nui, where your experience begins as soon as you get on board. Seems like a big trip... Is it worth the extra distance? I’ve been to 56 countries and have never seen anything as beautiful as Tahiti and the islands. Forget the high rises and crowds you find in Cancun — this place is remote. Hawaii gets the same number of visitors in 12 days as Tahiti does in a year, so there’s tourism but not mass tourism. Everyone who goes loves it and dreams of going back.

Pillowy softness and slight crunch in every bite Roasted Cauliflower and Chorizo Gnocchi. The chunky sauce in this dish offers perfect texture and flavour Dinner express

Emily Richards food@metronews.ca

There are so many people who just don’t like cauliflower. But why? It is such a versatile and delicious vegetable, raw or cooked. You can add it to soups or stews for added vegetable flavour and texture. Serve it up raw or blanched on a veggie tray, or how about pickled — one of my faves! My current favourite way, however, to serve up cauliflower is roasting it. It adds a slight crunch and decadent

flavour that is so simple but yet addictive. I am pretty sure I have eaten a whole head of roasted cauliflower myself after taking it out of the oven! So how do you roast cauliflower? I’ve found the best approach is to simply remove the stem and tough core and cut the cauliflower into small florets. By doing this, more surface area gets exposed to becoming roasted and charred for an absolutely delightful texture and flavour. In this particular recipe, I pumped up the flavour of the cauliflower by adding semi dry chorizo sausage and simple onion, garlic and parsley. It resulted in a dish worthy of my own restaurant menu.

1. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the extra virgin oil, salt and freshly ground pepper. Spread over parchment paper lined baking sheet and roast in 400 F (200 C)

oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown and tender crisp. Set aside. You can do this the night before for a quick weeknight meal the next day.

2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining extra virgin oil over medium heat and sauté the chorizo sausage, onion and garlic for about 8 minutes or until soft and starting to become golden. Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth and parsley. Keep

Prep time 20 minutes

warm.

3. Meanwhile, in a pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi for about 5 minutes or until they float to the top and are tender but firm. Using a slotted spoon or small sieve lift gnocchi out of water and add to skillet with sausage and onion. Add butter and cook over low heat. Stir in roasted cauliflower and toss to combine until heated through. Serve in shallow bowls.

Ingredients • 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets • 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil • 1/4 tsp (1 ml) each salt and fresh ground pepper • 1 pkg (250 g) semi cured mild chorizo sausage, chopped • 1 small onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1/2 cup (125 ml) chicken or vegetable broth • 2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley • 1 pkg (1 lb/454 g) gnocchi (fresh or frozen) • 2 tbsp (30 ml) butter

It’s important to follow a balanced diet of nutritious foods to stay healthy. However, a lot of people find it difficult to make good choices in the grocery store, whether it’s because the healthier items are more expensive than the less nutritious ones or because we don’t always know which foods are best for us. If it’s true that we are what we eat, we can’t really afford to not make smart decisions when it comes to food. Thankfully, and contrary to popular belief, eating well doesn’t have to mean buying costly organic foods or shopping at pricey health food stores, though if you can afford to get your groceries at your local farmers’ market or health

food store, by all means do. It can actually be quite easy to eat well while saving money on your grocery bill each month if you follow these simple tips. Plan ahead Before heading to the store, you should always check the store’s flyer to see what’s on sale and make a list of what you plan to buy. Your shopping list should include staples and items that are on sale or in-season. If you have the time, you can visit multiple grocery stores to take advantage of sales at each place. If that’s not an option, pick the Kitchen in a click

Keep an eye out for simple, inexpensive recipes: • There are dozens of websites and blogs filled with easy, healthy recipes that use low-cost ingredients. Vegetarian meals in particular are usually really inexpensive to make. • Saving money doesn’t mean cutting corners on flavour.

Buy in bulk More often than not, choosing the largest size of something is the cheapest option. Think family-sized cereals and large bags of potatoes, onions and carrots, for example. Buy in bigger quantities when possible.

store that usually has good deals. Know what you are able to spend before you start shopping and match it to your list in order to avoid impulse buys. Track your total You’ve probably noticed that the cost of the contents of your shopping cart can add up quickly. To avoid being surprised at the cash, keep track of what your total will be as you add each item to your cart or basket. Use the calculator on your phone or a notepad if you need to. Seem like a hassle? It’s a great way to figure out which items really aren’t worth what

they bring to your table. Make healthy choices Begin your shopping by circling the store’s perimeter, where the produce, bakery, meat and dairy sections usually are. Fill your cart up with fresh foods. Make an effort to choose items that are on sale. The food in the aisles is usually more processed, therefore less nutritious, and is often more expensive, though there are exceptions: lentils, beans and other legumes, and brown rice, barley, steel-cut oats and other whole grains are extremely healthy, filling, inexpensive food choices.

Speedy Fucale sets new record against Sea Dogs QMJHL. Herd goalie has won 100 games faster than anyone in league history ANDREW RANKIN

andrew.rankin@metronews.ca

It will be a night that will hold a special place in Zach Fucale’s memory — as well as the QMJHL record book — for some time to come. The Halifax Mooseheads netminder made 24 saves on Tuesday night to backstop the Herd to a 5-2 victory over the host Saint John Sea Dogs, and in doing so, hit the 100-win plateau faster than anyone in QMJHL history. “We’re really happy for him,” said head coach Dominique Ducharme. “It’s a record that certainly is going to be tough to beat. It couldn’t happen to a better teammate, a better guy. He comes in every day working hard; he’s a great teammate. Obviously he’s a really good goaltender.” With Fucale’s 100th win in 145 games, he eclipses Jacques Cloutier’s 35-year-old record of 100 victories in 150 games. Only six other goalies have won 100 games in their QMJHL career. For Ducharme, who’s been with the Mooseheads for as long as Fucale has, the numbers speak for themselves. But, he adds, there’s much more to his most recent accomplishment than that. “He’s won in the playoffs; he was part of a playoff come-

back to win in seven games after being down three-zip to the Quebec Remparts; he’s won a Memorial Cup. He’s made those teams a lot better.”

Adding to the accomplishment, the Mooseheads won their fifth game in a row on Tuesday. With the score deadlocked 1-1 after the first period, the Mooseheads took control early in the middle frame, scoring three straight goals, compliments of Nikolaj Ehlers, Danny Moynihan and Matt Murphy. The Sea Dogs cut the lead in half near the midpoint of the third, but Brent Andrew’s emp-

ty-netter in the dying seconds would put the game on ice. “It wasn’t easy,” said Ducharme. “They played hard on the other end. We came out not as sharp as in the previous games. In the third we played much better. “It was a tough night; we were maybe not at our best. But we came out hard in the third to get the win.” With the victory, the Mooseheads improve to 31-16-1 and

are currently in third place, just a point behind league-leading Baie-Comeau Drakkar and Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. The Mooseheads welcome the Chicoutimi Sagueneens at home on Friday. Andrew Ryan rounded out the scoring for the Herd. Jonathan Drouin picked up two helpers, giving him 12 points in four games. Nathan Noel and Nicolas Hebert responded for Saint John.

Supporters of Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard watch her quarter-final against Ana Ivanovic in Melbourne, Tuesday. Andrew Brownbill/the associated press

that spell out Bouchard’s name, flapped banners for her during matches, and lobbed plush animals — each of them native to Australia — to her on the court following each of her victories. Though they have had little face-to-face interaction with Bouchard, they have certainly commanded her attention in

Melbourne. “The crowd here has been amazing, especially the Genie Army,” Bouchard, 19, said Tuesday during an on-court interview after beating Ana Ivanovic. She then pointed up to her noisy personal cheering section. “I’ve had so much fun.

Bobsledding. Ex-CFLer Lumsden brings intensity, power to deep Sochi squad The intensity is mesmerizing when Canada’s Jesse Lumsden steps behind the sled at the top of the bobsled course. He takes a few deep breaths, grinds his teeth, and will maybe let out a yell. His darting eyes scan the icy track below and he might slap the side of the sled. “There’s no real same sort of steps that I go through. I remind myself of a couple things that are going to help me push the sled and give ’er,” Lumsden said. With pilot Chris Spring by his side, Lumsden uses every bit of power from his chiselled frame to explode out of the start. The former CFL star compares the feeling to a specialteams play in football. Lumsden joined the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2005. He spent four years with the Ticats before heading west, closing out his football career with injuryplagued seasons in Edmonton and Calgary. Lumsden attended a bobsled push camp in February 2009, and treated it as a training opportunity that might help him on the field. He qualified for the 2010 Olympic team in the two-man and four-man sleds, finishing

fifth in both events. “I knew it was going to be very exhilarating to compete in the sport and something very different that I’m not really used to,” he said. He decided to focus solely on bobsled in 2011 and his return to the Winter Games has been top of mind ever since. Lumsden won silver at the world championship in 2012 and took the World Cup title last season with Lyndon Rush of Humboldt, Sask. Now 31, he is primed for Olympic success in the two-man and four-man sleds on the deep Canadian team. the canadian press

Thank you guys.” The inspiration behind a brigade dedicated to Bouchard came after a bunch of Australian buddies watched her upset Ivanovic last year at Wimbledon, said one of the Army members. In December, as the Australian Open approached, Jacob Wright said the crew decided to become her own booster club, so they started making shirts and penning Bouchard chants. The Genie Army was born. “She’s just a great tennis player,” Wright, 20, told The Canadian Press in a Skype interview from Melbourne. “Obviously, she’s a goodlooking girl as well, and we’re young guys, but she is a really good tennis player. It’s really, really good fun to watch.” Their movement has had nothing to do with patriotism, either. When asked whether any of them had a connection to Canada, he replied: “None of us.” the canadian press

Azarenka the latest star to fall Victoria Azarenka’s 18-match winning streak at the Australian Open ended in an upset 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 quarter-final loss to Agnieszka Radwanska on Wednesday to continue the flow of stars tumbling out of the season’s first major. Fifth-seeded Radwanska ended her own streak of three consecutive quarter-final defeats at the Australian Open with a stunning display of versatile shot-making that shocked and confused the big-hitting Azarenka. The result means both defending champions were out in the quarter-finals — Novak Djokovic in five sets to Stan Wawrinka the previous night. the canadian press

Fight for good value in the Patriot Compare

Hyundai Tucson Base price: $23,400

Ford Escape Base price: $23,100

Review. Is the lowestpriced Jeep “Jeep-y” enough? It will do just fine for most MALCOLM GUNN wheelbasemedia.com

It’s hard to believe, but some Jeep fans are unhappy that Chrysler has applied the Cherokee label to a much sleeker 2014 version that in no way resembles the previous decadesold design. For these folks, the one-word response is “Patriot”. Of course the Patriot, which is based on the now retired Dodge Caliber, lacks the rugged chops of the old Cherokee. However it closely resembles that boxy model and, unless you’re planning some serious off-road running, it’s actually better in most ways. Funny thing about nostalgia: it often tends to obscure reality. Truth be told, the preceding American Motorscreated Cherokee XJ wasn’t all that comfortable and its four and six-cylinder engines were rough running and thirsty.

In fairness, the XJ did offer a bit more ground clearance and cargo space. But for most applications, including occasional off-road forays, the Patriot is up for the challenge. For anything more than that, Jeep’s rugged Wranglers are likely your best choice. Keeping this Jeep on the move is a choice of four-cylinder engines that have been around since the Patriot first arrived for the 2007 model year. The base 2.0-litre makes 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque, while the optional 2.4-litre four-cylinder is rated at 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. A fivespeed manual transmission can be had in the front-wheel-drive 2.0 models and front and fourwheel-drive 2.4 Patriots. The 2.0 cannot be ordered with 4x4. A six-speed automatic transmission (supplied by Hyundai) with manual shift controls is now optional for both engines, replacing the previous continuously variable unit (CVT). That might seem like an about-face from the current trend, but the new automatic makes for a quieter, more predictable experience. The base four-wheeldrive system for the 2.4 is Free-

2014 Jeep Patriot

• Type. Four-door, front- or fourwheel-drive compact tall wagon

• Engines (hp) .2.0-litre DOHC I4 (158); 2.4-litre DOHC I4 (172)

• Transmissions. Five-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.); CVT (opt.)

Interior

If the Patriot resembles the old Cherokee on the outside, it looks nothing like it on the inside. An updating for 2009 included a more attractive (and less plasticky) dashboard and door panels, as well as upgraded upholstery.

Fuel economy

Fuel consumption rings in at 8.9 l/100 km in the city and 6.6 highway for base 2.0 models with the stick shift and 9.7/7.0 with the automatic. The least efficient models have Freedom Drive II and chime in at 10.3/8.7

• Base price (incl. destination). $19,700

dom Drive I. In ideal-traction conditions 100 per cent of the engine torque remains with the front wheels, but when tire slip is detected, power is automatically sent to the rears. The system also has a centre coupling that, once engaged, maintains a 50:50 torque split. For actual trail-rated offroading needs, the 2.4 can be ordered with the Freedom Drive II off-road package that has a 19:1 low-range “crawl” ratio for clambering over rocks and other obstacles. The system also includes hill-descent control that maintains a set speed during steep descents while brake

lock differentials control sideto-side wheel rotation on both axles so that all wheels constantly turn at the same speed. The old CVT is mandatory with Freedom Drive II, although Jeep says it’s made improvements to operation and drivability. The base Sport trim level with the 2.0-litre engine is priced at $19,700, including destination charges, but is little more than a basic box on wheels. You even have to crank your own windows. The Patriot North, which comes with either 2.0 or the 2.4, adds power windows plus air conditioning and many other niceties.

Along with the 2.4-litre engine as standard, the topend Limited (available in front or four-wheel-drive) comes with climate control, leathertrimmed seats, and an upgraded audio system. Several available option groupings include a power sunroof, roof rack, all-terrain tires and drop-down liftgate speakers for tailgate partying. Despite best intentions, it’s unlikely that Jeep die-hards will be moved to consider the Patriot as the ideal replacement for their long-gone Cherokee. For everyone else, this humble Jeep is still worthy of consideration.

The big news is that Canadians purchased over 1.7 million new vehicles in 2013, breaking the previous sales record, which stood for over a decade. The not-so-big news is that the nameplates that did most of the heavy lifting in 2013 are ones weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen before: F-Series, Honda Civic, Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Escape, etc. Man, as a group of vehicle buyers, Canadians are so predictable and consistent. We love our pickups, our compact sedans, our minivans, and our compact SUVS and crossovers. It would have been cool if, say,

the Maserati Quattroporte outsold the Toyota Corolla, just once! But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to happen I suspect. Analysts attribute the sales surge to pent-up demand, a slowly recovering economy, and lots of lots of pickups being sold, particularly out west where the economy continues to be hotter than Tex-Mex BBQ sauce. Total pickup sales crossed the 300,000-unit frontier for the first time in history.

Will the 2015 Ford F-series sell as much as its predecessor? Pickupsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; popularity in general is sky high right now. contributeed

Lots of pickup sales for work-related ventures for sure, but analysts say the trend toward more personal use pickups is also at play. The Ford F-Series topped all trucks and cars again in 2013, for its forth-consecutive overall sales crown. It will be interesting to see if the all-new F-Series just introduced at the Detroit auto show will continue the winning legacy, seeing that Ford rolled the dice somewhat on this new model. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first pickup with

virtually all-aluminum body panels, for a lighter and more fuel-efficient truck. This should certainly appeal to the personal use crowd, but many wonder if the complexity and cost involved in fixing inadvertently crashed and dinged aluminum might scare off some fleet and commercial customers. Chryslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ram pickups continue to make headway. As a group, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still third behind the Ford and GM com-

petitors, but an awfully strong third. Not long ago they used to be afterthoughts in the full-size segment. Strong F-Series, Focus, Fusion, and Escape sales helped Ford regain the top-selling automaker status in the Canadian marketplace, followed by Chrysler, then GM. Jaguar is not going to threaten the Big Three anytime soon, or any of its luxury competitors as well, but it did post one of the best year-over-year increases: 1,263 Jaguars were

sold in 2013, compared to 644 in 2012, an almost 100 per cent improvement. Certainly helping were the 229 F-type sports cars that found buyers in 2013. Jaguar has been out of that particular sports car segment for far too long, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see them back, and back with such a strong car. Other highlights and low-lights of the 2013 sales year: When it came to strictly passenger cars (no trucks or CUVs or SUVs or minivans), Toyota was top, with a 12.8 percent share of the overall market. But Hyundai was not far behind with a 12.4 percent share. Honda was third with an 11.9 percent share. Nissan Leaf sales almost doubled (470 vs. 240), while Chevrolet Voltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales performance went somewhat the other way: down to 931 units, from 1,225 in 2012. Smart is staying consistent: 2,387 sales in 2012; 2,237 sales in 2013. Corvette is winning more fans: 324 sales, compared to 250 last year. Two-hundred and fourteen new Ferraris went home with their lucky new buyers in 2013, up slightly from 2012, where 190 made the getaway.

What smell ... ? So, the baby or the dog just burped up lunch (or worse) on the car seat, or the kids you picked up after ball practice left their odiferous jerseys and socks for you to find later ... much later. The people who make Febreze for the house also make Febreze Car Vent Clips which, as the name suggests, you attach to your vehicle’s fresh-air vents. The manufacturer claims that the “lowscent, maximum-strength” product works on fabric seat covers, carpeted floors and even upholstered infant carriers, but not on anything leather or vinyl. Febreze Car Vent Clips offers eight different scents that sell for about $6 US per package of two and are available at most grocery or department stores. Visit febreze.com.

If you’re a Baby Boomer, you likely saw the Visible V8 model kit at your local hobby shop or toy store. You can still purchase this award-winning kit for yourself, your kids, or grandkids. The Revell-made onequarter-scale engine is generic in origin, but does resemble an early Chevrolet 265or 283 cubic-inch powerplant. Once the 314-piece kit is assembled (correctly) a turn of the hand crank shows a variety of actual working innards, including the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, camshaft, valves and rocker arms. In addition there’s a working fan and accessory pulleys. The Visible V8 sells for about $60 US through numerous storefront and online retailers. For more info and a location near you, go to www. revell.com

If you regularly head off the road, you might want to consider taking a trailer along that’s as tough and rugged as your vehicle.

The Superior 54 Sport Wagon is available as a body-only package, minus a frame, for $60,000 US and as a rolling chassis using previousgeneration (1997-’04) Corvette suspension components attached to an aftermarket chassis for $100,000 US. If your pockets are deep enough, you can get a complete turn-key Nomad that starts at $200,000 US. Visit superior54.com.

Fuel cell vehicles and their ‘free energy’ Driving force. These hydrogen-powered machines make their own electricity and allow the occupant 385 kms off one tank jil mcintosh

Drive@metronews.ca

For all the technology that goes into them, battery-electric cars are relatively simple. You plug them into a wall, charge them up, and then drive them until they need to be charged again. But there’s an even more advanced model that makes its own electricity. Called a fuel cell vehicle, or FCV, it contains a fuel cell stack that produces power from hydrogen. “It’s a chemical process,

not a combustion process,” says Stephen Ellis, manager of fuel cell vehicle marketing for American Honda Motor Company. “In simplest terms, hydrogen is introduced on one side of a membrane and oxygen on the other side, and through the exchange of protons, electricity is made.” The thin membrane, which resembles cellophane plastic, is sandwiched between layers

that form the hydrogen and oxygen electrodes. This “sandwich” is called a membrane electrode assembly. When a separator is attached on either side, the resulting unit is called a cell. Several hundred cells are stacked together — hence the name — to form the fuel cell stack. The separators provide room for hydrogen, air, and coolant to flow between the cells.

The fuel cell receives its hydrogen from a storage tank in the car, while it gets its oxygen from the outside air. The process of creating electricity releases water. Some of it remains in the stack, since the membrane has to stay damp, but the excess goes out the tailpipe. It’s the only emission an FCV creates. “When you turn the key and press the ‘start’ button, that begins the production of electricity,” Ellis says. While fuel cells from ten years ago needed about 30 seconds to start working, today’s versions take less than five seconds. Honda’s FCV contains a lithium-ion battery, which stores any excess electricity from the fuel cell. It also captures kinetic energy during deceleration and braking, and stores it as electricity. Ellis calls this “free energy,” since it’s power that’s created without using hydrogen. During start-up and acceleration, when large amounts of power are needed, the battery supplements the fuel cell’s output. The fuel cell also shuts down its electricity production when the car is stationary, so the battery provides power to run the lights,

To note

• Availability. Honda’s FCV, the Clarity, is primarily available in California, where several hydrogen filling stations are available. Hydrogen infrastructure remains a key obstacle for widespread FCV adoption. • Sources. Hydrogen can be made from many sources, including natural gas, biomass, and even biogas from human waste. • BMW. Cars can also burn hydrogen the same way they burn gasoline. BMW built a test fleet of 100 cars that used this process. • Origin. Honda’s first prototype FCV was introduced in 1999. It delivered its first cars to customers in Japan and the U.S. in 2002.

stereo, and other devices. Honda’s current fuel cell has a range of about 385 km on a tank of hydrogen, but an improved one coming next year will go about 480 km, even though it’s 33 per cent smaller.

Horoscopes

Aries

March 21 - April 20 You may not agree with what you hear today but let others have their say. Free speech is worth fighting for. If someone shouts down opposing opinions, make it your business to defend their right to be different.

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 If there is something you have been trying to do but every time you get started you are forced to stop, it could be a sign that you should be doing something else.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 Certain people may be feeling down but they have no right to bring you down with them, so go where there is music playing and people dancing and not a sad face to be seen.

Cancer

June 22 - July 23 Someone older and wiser will give you advice today, and if you are smart, you will listen and learn. Don’t forget there are more important things in life than material success, like doing the right thing.

Leo

July 24 - Aug. 23 Someone’s negative attitudes are getting you down more than you care to admit. If you have been thinking of bringing a partnership to an end, now is the time to be decisive. Don’t feel sorry for them.

Virgo

Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You’ll get more done over the next 24 hours than you got done in the past 24 days. But don’t think that means you have to work harder. Achieve more by doing less.

Libra

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 First appearances can be deceptive, so don’t be put off if someone you meet seems too serious for your tastes. The planets suggest you will be working together. Do what you can to put them at ease.

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 You may be reserved but every now and again you go right the other way and say things that shock. This is one of those days. You’ve had enough of criticisms. It’s time to hit back.

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Let others know what they are doing is wrong and what they must do to put it right. Don’t allow yourself to worry that you might bruise their egos. Honesty is the best policy .

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 You are trying hard to deny your feelings for someone because you fear it might damage your reputation. Maybe it will, but is that really a good enough excuse to turn your back on affection?

Aquarius

Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Although this is your time of year what happens today may take the gloss off things a bit. In a way that’s good because you need days like this to remind you that all those other days must not be taken for granted.

Pisces

Feb. 20 - March 20 Don’t worry if the party spirit seems to have passed you by because it is the inner spirit that matters. The planets indicate the deeper you think about your life’s meaning, the more you will enjoy it. SALLY BROMPTON
