The Interns score big abroad
Windseeker here problem-free, but internal probe standard Canada’s Wonderland has shutdown its Windseeker ride after revelers at one of its parent company’s other parks were left stranded at 90 metres for 3-1/2 hours. Staff at Wonderland, which is owned by Ohio company Cedar Fair Entertainment, said the Windseeker was shuttered last Friday for an internal review of the ride. This is the second time in two years the ride has been closed due to safety concerns, after the ride needed attention soon after being introduced at the park in 2011.

THIS WEEK: Thanksgiving food drive kick off; ‘sweet’ event for mental health /3
A Woodbridge hip-hop crew has made its mark on the international stage. The Interns, a 12-member team based out of DLM Dance Studio, captured sixth place in the under-14 intermediate division at the UDO World Street Dance Championships in Blackpool, England late last month. “Everyone was really excited and really nervous (going into the final),” dancer Alexandra Blades said. “We just really wanted to do our best and kill it like (our coach) Alycia Santilli knew we could.” The Interns are the first Canadian team to compete in the international event, which draws performers from See WOODBRIDGE, page 7.

It’s that time of year again to celebrate all things you are thankful for in your life: family, friends and health. But it is also a time to share with those less fortunate than us. On behalf of SavourYork Region restaurant week organizers Nadia Cerelli-Fiore and Elvira Caria, you are invited to join in the fight against hunger and support the 6th annual SavourYork Region Thanksgiving food drive in support of the Vaughan Food Bank. The kick-off event takes place at Fortinos, Woodbridge on Saturday, Oct. 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will include delicious eats from Pizzaville, Rich’s Products, Mokarabia espresso coffee and food sampling from Casa Italia. Plus, Z103.5 radio will be on location, organizers say. You can help make a difference by donating non-perishable food items or making a monetary donation.

Diana Ponte will celebrate the grand opening of her company, Call Me Cupcake, Gourmet Cupcakes & Sweets Bouique in Maple, on Oct. 13 with a special event. All proceeds from the sale of cupcakes on that day will be donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association of Ontario’s York Region chapter, she says. Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, Maple/Kleinburg Councillor Marilyn Iafrate, and other local politicians, along with a representative of the mental health association will be in attendance. York’s mental health association offers early intervention for youth with psychosis. In addition, it needs funding to help carry out a recently piloted group for students with self-harming behaviour. Also, funding is needed to help provide additional support for families affected by mental illness. This support includes educational workshops, support groups and resource materials.

Toronto police have released two photographs in hopes of finding more clues in relation to the murder of a Vaughan man and his friend. (Photos available online at yorkregion.com) Warsame Ali, from Concord, and Suleiman Ali, both 26, not related, were killed last Tuesday near Jamestown Crescent, in Etobicoke, at about 1:20 a.m. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, just outside Greenholme Middle Junior School. The pair become the fifth and sixth Somali-Canadian men to be killed in Toronto since early June. “...We don’t have lots to go on and limited witnesses so what we are looking for is for some of their friends to speak with us so we can find out what they were doing in the area,” Det. Paul Wardon said. Police said the suspect is black, five-feet, 10-inches tall and was seen running from the scene in a black hooded sweatshirt. If you have information, call police at 416-808-2300 or 416-808-7400, Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS, leave a tip online or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637). —Jeremy Grimaldi

York Region’s high school teachers have added their support to a growing tide of teacher union strike mandates sweeping the province. The teacher/occasional teacher bargaining unit of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation in York voted 94 per cent in favour of a strike mandate last night. “The membership has sent a very strong message to the government today,” said Colleen Ireland, district 16 president. York’s 4,800 elementary teachers, meanwhile, will vote on a strike mandate Oct. 4. Bargaining units provincewide have been voting in record numbers in support of a strike, according to York’s Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario president David Clegg. Contracts between the teachers and the public school board expired Aug. 31. The provincial government passed legislation imposing a deal on Ontario public teachers and allowing the minister of education to prevent or prohibit teacher strikes, but teacher unions are still allowed strike votes under the Ontario Labour Relations Act. “We’re just going to follow the steps and the government will do what it has to do,” Ms
Ireland said. The votes are part of an escalating protest against the provincial deal that freezes wages — except for grid movement for newer teachers — cuts sick days in half to 10 and prevents teachers from banking sick days and cashing them out at retirement. Some teachers are withdrawing from voluntary duties in protest, leading to random cancellations of curriculum nights, sports teams and extracurricular clubs across York Region. Ms Ireland said that her members are now waiting for advice from provincial union leaders as talks continue at the local level to determine what the provincial Memorandum of Agreement means. York Region’s teacher unions, like many across the province, have a good relationship with the local public school board “but this legislation has forced us into adversarial steps and we don’t want to be there. “You can’t just impose legislation and then say, ‘Let’s all play nice in the sandbox’. This is a multi-faceted process ... a monumental undertaking.” Students, meanwhile, plan an provincewide rally at Queen’s Park Saturday. They will be, according to the online flyer, “standing in support of Ontario teachers”.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
GOOD BEGINNINGS Volunteers help new parents by providing emotional support and practical assistance during the early months of a newborn’s homecoming.
Rogers Public School students jointed the movement to get their extra-curricular activities back. This morning, a group of grades 6, 7 and 8 students walked out of class to demonstrate with signs and chants just outside the school’s doors in hopes of getting the activities reinstated at the school. Kaitlyn and Alyssa Ferrera-Webster, twin 12-year-old sisters who organized the protest, said they want the government to hear what they have to say. “What the government is doing is unfair to teachers and unfair to us,” Kaitlyn said, holding a sign in front of the school. When she and her sister found out there would be no volleyball and some clubs would not be offered due to teachers pro-
testing provincial legislation, the duo, with some friends, decided to organize a peaceful walkout to make their voices a little louder. “We need these teams and clubs because they are fun, teach us to be independent and how to work as a team,” Kaitlyn said. Teachers unions argue Bill 115, which imposes two-year wage freezes and prohibits them from striking, infringes on their right to collective bargaining. Kaitlyn and Alyssa’s mother, Minerva Ferrera, was on hand to support her daughters during their protest. “I couldn’t be more proud,” she said. Despite what people think, the young students know what the issues are and find the government’s treatment of teachers unfair.

Thank you, Vaughan
H
arvest season is upon us and with that comes a reminder that while many of us are blessed with a bounty of riches, there are some of us who are not. One civic minded organization in Vaughan will for the sixth straight year kick off a Thanksgiving food drive for the Vaughan Food Bank — and it couldn’t come at a better time. Just last week, the study, Who’s Hungry: Faces of Hunger, showed that Daily Bread member agencies and their regional partners logged 1,123,500 visits by clients from April 2011 to March 2012. That jives with our local food bank statistics as well, which shows an increasing number of people in our community are going hungry and turn up at the food bank each month to feed themselves and their
families. Once the rent is paid, there isn’t much left over. According to the study, many food bank users who are paying market rents fork over 71 per cent of their earnings to keep a roof over their head. That’s why we want to congratulate the folks behind SavourYork Region restaurant week for inviting the community to help fight hunger by making a donation to the local food bank. We’ll be there at Fortinos, Woodbridge, on Saturday, Oct. 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help fill the bins. We hope to see you there, too. Someone once said that if the only prayer you said in your life was ‘thank you’, that would be quite sufficient. Thank you, Vaughan, for making a difference to those less fortunate.
It’s in our nature to be healthy, yet we fight it
O
ne of the joys of being a grandparent is getting to see the world again through the eyes of a child. Recently, I found my three-year-old grandson picking at a scab on his arm. It brought a flood of memories because I used to do the same thing. It was amazing to watch the blood from an injury dry and, over days, form a scab. Before that scab was ready to fall off, I would pick at it to see what was underneath, and, wonder of wonders, it was fresh, pink skin. It’s amazing how our bodies regenerate. We get hit and bruises form as blood leaks into tissues. Over time, the dark blue colour is diluted and may move before disappearing. Even broken bones will heal. And skin, our largest organ, is a miracle layer. It keeps the rest of us inside and everything else outside. It wards off infections, sheds water, cools us in hot weather and repairs itself. Still, viruses, bacteria and parasites are ever-alert for opportunities to penetrate our protective layer. As well as frequent nicks and cuts, we have natural openings like mouths, ears and noses, each with its own protective mechanisms. If an invading organism gets inside, we have an incredible barrier,
David Suzuki our immune system, constantly generating new proteins to fight off infections we’ve never even encountered. We have a defence system that recognizes and fights against any cell with a genetic makeup different from our own — which is why it’s so difficult to transplant organs, tissues or cells. Yet, pregnant women support a fetus that is genetically different for nine months. Thanks to evolution, our bodies have powerful ways to ward off illness and infection and enable us to live long and healthy lives. Why, then, do health costs climb at unsustainable and frightening rates? Part of it is medical care has become so sophisticated that doctors are able to
treat more problems. Another part is the ever-increasing cost of drugs. And with a medical system, people are more likely to seek help. Still, health care costs can’t continue to rise forever. Governments are always looking for ways to reduce costs, often by offloading a greater share of the burden to patients. We must pay greater attention to keeping our bodies and minds healthy and able to heal. Yet we are making it difficult for our defences to work. We allow things to be sold that should not be called food. Many have no nutritive value and lead to obesity, salt imbalance and allergies. We spew chemicals into the environment by the millions of tonnes. Molecules pour into us through air, water and food, overwhelming or weakening our protective immune systems. “Our behaviour is the result of a basic failure to recognize that human beings are an inseparable part of nature and that we cannot damage it severely without severely damaging ourselves,” Harvard University doctors Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein said. Medical literature tells us the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes,
Alzheimer’s and many more problems are though healthy diet and exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move, yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work. Environmental factors contribute to 36,000 deaths and 13 per cent of the disease burden in Canada annually, the World Health Organization concluded in 2007. The Canadian Medical Association claims air pollution causes more than 20,000 premature deaths a year. And scientists estimate environmental factors affecting heart and respiratory disease, cancer and birth problems contribute to anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 deaths, according to author and environmental lawyer David R. Boyd. It’s easier, more effective and cheaper to let healthy bodies fight off disease and infections than to weaken those defence mechanisms and then compensate for them medically. If we want a stable health system, we must put more resources into reducing pollution and environmental degradation and creating a way of life that keeps bodies and minds happy and in good health.

countries around the globe including Japan, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Portugal. In the first round, The Interns squared off against nearly two dozen crews from 19 countries. “We felt a little nervous, but we knew we could do very well,” dancer Vanessa Trinchini said. The crew’s unique style impressed the judges and helped land them in the finals with 11 other teams, dancer Simone Travaglini said. “We had a different style than all the other teams,” she said. “Our routine sort of brought something different to the stage and I think the judges were really into that; seeing something fresh.” The Interns faced stiff competition in the finals, but still managed to finish in the top seven. “It was so surreal that we actually were in England,” Alexandra said. “Not a lot of people, especially our age, get an opportunity like this at all. It was really humbling and amazing to be in that environment.” Ms Santilli said just being able to compete at an international event was a great learning experience for the entire team. “We saw a lot of other styles

she added. “They know they’re good, but in the same breath they know that there’s room for improvement,” Ms Santilli said. “I think that this opportunity showed them that there’s growth in any team.”
The Interns qualified for the world championships after a landslide victory at the UDO Canadian Street Dance Championships held at the Downsview Park Hoop Dome last April. Following that win, The Interns had another major hurdle
to clear before heading to England. The team had to raise upwards of $30,000 to cover airfare, accommodations and competition fees, among other costs. The Interns achieved that goal thanks, in part, to the more than 400 people who attended a dinner and dance they hosted at Borgata Wedding and Event Venue in late June. “Our fundraiser was a huge success,” dancer Selena Giglio said. “There was a lot of dancing, everybody enjoyed it.” “It went beyond what they expected,” Ms Santilli added. “They got a real sense of their community and also their families and friends that were really supporting them.” The Interns are currently developing a new routine and are looking to book shows in and around the Greater Toronto Area. The crew also plans to defend its title at the 2013 UDO Canadian Street Dance Championships. “From here on we’re going to keep pushing and promoting them,” Ms Santilli said. “This year I have a different vision for the team. … We’re going to pull our socks up and train even harder now that we’ve had such an amazing time. And we’re going to keep pushing and be the best we can be.”

Motown preview for the new SL It was significant that MercedesBenz chose Detroit not Geneva or Frankfurt for the world debut of the new SL. Following the design language seen in the SLS supercar, the SL is probably most interesting in the fact it is almost entirely made from aluminum. The new-generation MercedesBenz SL takes the meaning of the famous letters “SL” – super, lightweight – literally.
The next generation Mercedes-Benz SL was debuted at the recent North American International Auto Show in Detroit
The new aluminum bodyshell weighs around 110 kilograms less than it would if using the steel technology from the predecessor. It is, in fact, the first time Mercedes-Benz has implemented an all-aluminum bodyshell in a series-production model. The new SL will be offered with
two different suspension systems: the SL features semi-active adjustable damping as standard. The optional active suspension system ABC (Active Body Control) is available as an alternative. Both suspension variants are combined with a new electromechanical Direct-Steer system featuring speed-sensitive power steering and a ratio that can be varied across the steering wheel angle. Along with two suspension systems there will be two engines. The SL 350 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, making it three tenths of a second faster than its predecessor. The SL 500 takes just 4.6 seconds – eight tenths less than the previous SL 500. Both engine variants come with

a standard-fit ECO start/stop function. The 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission, which has been optimized in relation to fuel consumption and comfort, also contributes to low fuel consumption. The adaptive windscreen wipe/ wash system Mercedes-Benz called MAGIC VISION CONTROL supplies water from the wiper blade as required and depending on the direction of wipe. The headlamps come as standard with the Intelligent Light System (ILS). With five different lighting functions that are tailored to typical driving and weather conditions, and are activated depending on the driving situation, they offer the driver a much better illuminated field of vision.

Story and photos by Neil Moore Metroland Newspapers/WheelsTalk.com The return of the Dodge Dart has generated plenty of buzz – especially among those old enough to remember the original. The first Darts were full-size, but in 1963, the thirdgeneration model – available as a sedan, coupe, wagon or convertible – was built on what was then considered a compact platform. Many were tricked out to resemble muscle cars, but few had muscle, most having the ubiquitous 225 cubic inch slant six under the hood. Some had the 318 cu. in. V8, and a few were Dart “Swingers” which came standard with the 340. The optional 383 or 440 powerplants were less common. Unfortunately federal emission regulations sucked the life from the car, and it was replaced by the horrendous Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen. I still remember the cheesy commercials with Italian-American tenor Sergio Franchi singing a modified version of his signature song. But I do reminisce fondly about the Dart, and was pleased when it was announced that Chrysler was bringing back the nameplate. It’s not the same nostalgia play as Charger or Challenger – as the new Dart is nothing like the original. For starters, and thanks to its Italian partners, this Dodge is based upon the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, a model known for its road holding and agility, not to mention its chic design. But the company took a different tack in designing its North American compact, stretching the Alfa platform about a foot and widening it two inches. The new architecture’s low, wide and long dimensions favour a stable, ‘body-in, wheels-out’ stance with all four pushed to the corners. The new car has a 106 inch (2703 mm) wheelbase – just shy of the 1975 Dart, which was, overall, about 19 inches longer. The new model also has more interior volume. The Dart’s new underpinnings, however, are about more than providing a commodious cabin; the structure also uses 68 per cent high-strength steel, resulting in an architecture that is lightweight and solid. Good for safety, as well as NVH (noise/ vibration/harshness), ride and handling. So too is the independent suspension with MacPherson struts and stabilizer bar in front, and multi-link with link-type stabilizer in rear. Over rough roads and in tight turns, the Dart felt solid and composed. The standard-equipped electric power steering was quick and responsive, nicely weighted, and provided decent feedback. Unlike some early EPS systems. And while the car’s stiff structure contributes to a quiet cabin, much of that can also be credited to the honing of exterior shapes from more than 600 hours spent in wind tunnel testing, not to mention the liberal use of sound-deadening materials and improved seals. Look under the Dart and instead of greasy bits, you’ll find smooth composite panels from stem to stern. These also reduce drag and help block road noise. There’s also abundant foam and acoustic baffles tucked into pillars and other body cavities.
All of which result in a cabin that is as hushed as many premium sedans I’ve driven. Aerodynamics also play a big role in the Dart’s front-end design. This is the first Dodge vehicle to use an active grille shutter system, which closes to stop airflow at highway speeds (when less cooling is needed), and opens in hot city driving. The front end is also where the Dart makes its strongest style statement. This varies by trim level, with its main feature – the split crosshair grille – being toned down from earlier Dodge vehicles for The 2013 Dodge Dart is based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, only longer and wider. This all-new compact sedan gets a toneda more sophisticated look. down crosshair grille, coupe-like silhouette and clean sheet WEBSITE: www.dodge.ca metal for a sporty, yet sophisticated look.

DODGE TAKES AIM AT COMPACT SEGMENT WITH ALL-NEW 2013 DART
Vaughan Citizen, Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012, 10
SEASONAL TIRE CHANGES – WHEN AND WHY? Every year we are urged by our mechanics, dealerships and media to make the switch to winter tires in the dwindling weeks of the fall season in preparation on n of severe winter weather. Some of us listen while others chose to do otherwise. Part of the reason for this is the fact that many don’t understand the benefit of swapping allseason tires for dedicated winters. There are two main reasons for switching to winter e rubber: temperature on, and frozen precipitation, T generally ice or snow. Thi This isn’t as obvious it sounds. For decades tire manufacturers have been unintentionally misleading consumers into thinking that all-season tires can be used year-round. This is true if you live
+
in a southern climate that never sees snow or ice like we do, here in the frozen north. At lower temperatures allsea seaso as season tires lose their a abil bil ability to maintain tra traction, due to the ccompounds used in the rubber. Additionally, the tread design of all-season tires is designed to limit road noise and evacuate water from the treads. The primary function of winter tires is to provide traction in colder te temperatures and in sno no and ice. snow sho It should be evident as wh two t to why different sets of tires are required in our climate. When the temperature is consistently below -5C its winter tire time and when its +5C consistently it’s time to switch back to all-season or summer tires.

It also now comes in two body styles. The five-passenger ‘Sport’ is on sale now with FWD or AWD, and is available with two engines: a 2.4-litre four cylinder with gasoline direct injection (GDI), and a 2.0-litre turbocharged four, also with GDI. All Sport models get a six-speed automatic with Shiftronic manual shift. This starts with the exterior. Incremental changes in the grille, headlights, taillights, roofline, belt line, character lines and other areas combine for an effect that is significantly more upscale. Like the Tucson, it employs Hyundai’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ styling, but in a way that appears more purposeful. Along the sides are character lines that pierce each door handle, along with sculpting that provides dimension and depth. The bold front end with hexagonal front grille is flanked by modern sweptback projector headlamps and black-accented fog lamps. The two-tone lower fascia projects a rugged, SUV appearance. For 2013, the Santa Fe is longer and lower, and has more interior space – besting pretty much all the competition. This new model is 120 kg lighter than the 2012 (and 16 per cent stiffer). A more rigid body, better aerodynamics,

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE MORE MACHO FOR 2012 Story and photos by Lorne Drury Metroland Newspapers/WheelsTalk.com Is there a more distinctive car on the road than the Volkswagen Beetle? Even the redesigned 2012 Beetle is every bit as identifiable as the iconic Beetles of the ’60s and ’70s. This time around, though, designers set out to give the third-generation model a more masculine look in an attempt to overcome the ‘chick car’ reputation that the New Beetle had developed during its run from 1998 to 2010. Though not the volume leader that the original ‘Bug’ was for Volkswagen, when it sold more than 21 million copies between 1938 and 2003, the Beetle continues to sell in solid numbers here in Canada with 1,230 units delivered through the first six months of the calendar year. This new Beetle looks more planted to the ground and is longer, wider and shorter than the previous model. Comfort and stowage issues have been addressed so that now the back seat is much more user-friendly with a decent amount of headroom. Ingress and egress is still a bit difficult, however, due to the coupe design. Meanwhile, the trunk now has cargo space of 426 litres, jumping to 850 litres with the 50/50 split/fold rear seats down. As far as image is concerned, the exterior design has a more masculine look and the little vase and plastic flower affixed to the dash in the previous generation is now part of Volkswagen history. Standard on the Comfortline and Highline is a five-speed manual transmission with a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic and Sport Mode optional. Prices start at $21,975 for the Comfortline manual and
WOLFSBURG AWARD 2011
$24,225 for the Highline manual ($25,625 for the Highline automatic). The Sportline is $29,025 for the manual and $30,425 for the DSG automatic. Freight and PDI add $1,365. Limited edition Premiere and Premiere+ models are also available during the 2012 launch year. A total of 600 of these will be offered, priced at $24,475 and $26,575 respectively. The Premiere models come only with the automatic transmission. The Sportline, as the name suggests, has a sporty look with 18-inch alloy wheels covering bright red brake brake calipers. This model also boasts a sport suspension, eightway driver and six-way passenger manual sport seats, leather seats (heated up front), dual exhaust, leatherwrapped steering wheel, rear spoiler and alloy sport pedals. As with most front-drive, turbocharged vehicles, a bit of turbo lag and torque steer is evident, but the added performance of the turbocharger makes it all worthwhile for the driving enthusiast. Using the paddle shifters also adds a touch of sportiness one wouldn’t expect in a Beetle, although the body roll felt on hard cornering lets you know you’re in a Beetle rather than a GTI. Nevertheless, this is a level of handling never before seen on a Beetle. So while the new-generation Beetle stays true to its roots with much the same iconic design, it is a thoroughly modern version that still makes you smile but provides driving dynamics the originals couldn’t come close to matching. WEB: www.vw.ca
The 2012 Beetle is longer, wider and lower than the second generation, but there’s no mistaking it for anything but a Volkswagen Beetle.

Police seek help on Wonderland assault
police said. It was at this point that the suspect grabbed the camera and proceeded to drive off, police added. While trying to retrieve her device, the victim was dragged about five meters until she finally let go and sustained injuries during the fall, according to police. Police are looking for a 17- to 20-year-old Caucasian woman with long blonde hair. There was a passenger in the sedan, described as a Caucasian woman, about 17 to 20, with short red hair. The vehicle is believed to be an older model Pontiac or Buick, grey or silver. If you have information, call police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7441 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS, leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com.
Police are looking for clues to a Canada’s Wonderland assault after an Oakville woman suffered injuries during a parking lot fight involving two female drivers Vaughan. Police were called to the park last Wednesday after a white 2011 Audi SUV collided with a four-door sedan. According to police, the two women got out of their vehicles to assess the “minor damage”. After a brief discussion the victim pulled out her cellphone to take a picture of the damage. The victim may have inadvertently taken a picture of the other woman involved,

Safety No.1 priority: Wonderland From page 1.
At Cedar Fair’s Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif., the ride’s safety system caused the shutdown, official reports stated. The $5-million Windseeker rides at the company’s other parks in Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina have also been shut for review. Windseeker Towers are built by Dutch company Mondial Rides. Canada’s Wonderland spokesperson Dineen Beaven isn’t sure when the ride will re-open, but said that once a review of the Knott’s Berry ride is complete the amusement park will have a plan of action for its own ride. “Our ride is running problemfree,” she said. “This is standard practice for us to find out what’s going on with that ride. Safety is our No. 1 priority at the park to make sure we have a safe environment for our guests.”
