Morale is at an all-time low at OCTranspo and a new trend of pas-sengers spitting on drivers is onlymaking matters worse, says driv-er Michel Fecteau.

“I got spat on twice and I’m avery easy-going guy,” saidFecteau, a driver with 34 years’experience and AmalgamatedTransit Union Local 279’s pointman on grievances.

An OC Transpo driver firedMonday for an angry tiradecaught on video was also spatupon two days before the inci-dent.

Fecteau said passengers are,for the most part, friendly. Butverbal abuse is something he andother drivers deal with on justabout every shift.

“There’s not enough commit-ment from management to pro-tect our drivers,” said Fecteau.

Management constantly callsdrivers to the office for minorinfractions, but doesn’t follow upon reports of drivers gettingabused by passengers, he said.

In the case of the driver yellingand threatening a mildly autisticpassenger, Fecteau said the driv-er was wrong, but should havebeen disciplined less severely, andis grieving the dismissal.

Fecteau said the driver of 25years is very concerned about notgetting paid pending the griev-ance.

The driver’s wife and motherboth died from cancer this yearand his father recently had a mas-sive heart attack. The driver alsohas three dependent kids, whoare triplets, in their early 20s, liv-ing with him.

Last Tuesday, the Toronto Star’sOttawa political reporter, JoannaSmith, tweeted she saw a femalepassenger threaten to punch adriver in the face before her malecompanion spat on him.

Smith told Metro she was dis-turbed by the incident and gavethe driver a Kleenex to clean him-self off.

OC Transpo general managerAlain Mercier was not availablefor comment.

Due to atypographical error, an incorrectphone number forthe student-runsexual-assaultsupport line atCarleton University was published yesterday. Thecorrect number is613-620-1030.

The stretch of Highway417 behind Bob Chiarelliwas virtually empty as heannounced yesterday thatthe province will invest$86 million to expand thethoroughfare near Scotia-bank Place to alleviate traf-fic congestion.

But Chiarelli, ministerof Transportation and In-frastructure, pressed onnonetheless, saying con-

gestion on the 417 is “un-acceptable” and not justwhen the Ottawa Senatorsare playing.

“Go stand there at 5:30in the evening and seewhat you see. It’s bumper-to-bumper,” he said.

The province is widen-ing the 417 from fourlanes to eight lanes fromEagleson Road to Palladi-um Drive. That includes anew high-occupancy-vehicle lane in each direc-tion.

The 417 will also be

widened from four to sixlanes from PalladiumDrive to Highway 7.

“We’re widening it be-cause our demand showsit’s necessary,” Chiarellisaid. “The growth in thearea shows it will be morenecessary in the almostimmediate future.”

In June, Premier DaltonMcGuinty announced a$200-million plan to ex-pand the 417 fromNicholas to the 174 splitstarting next year. Thatproject is slated for com-

pletion in 2015. Cavanagh Construction

was awarded the contractfor the west-end expansionand said work will begin ina couple of weeks. Thewidening will be finishedin 2014, officials said.

Failing to invest in infra-structure during slow eco-nomic times would beirresponsible, Chiarellisaid.

“The best way to do jobcreation in the downturnis infrastructure invest-ments,” he said.

Province digs up cash to wage war on gridlock

Plasco dealback on the tableEnvironmental groups arevoicing concerns after citystaff said yesterday thatcouncil may vote on a con-tract with waste-to-energycompany Plasco as early asDecember.

The company based inthe Trail Road Landfill saysit can turn garbage intoenergy, metal and otherbyproducts through aprocess called “plasmagasification.”

City staff began negoti-ating a waste-disposal con-tract with Plasco in 2008,but talks went dormant asthe company awaitedprovincial approval. Plascorecently got the go-aheadfrom the Ministry of theEnvironment, restartingthe negotiations, city man-ager Kent Kirkpatrick said.

Trevor Haché of EcologyOttawa says his group isconcerned about air pollu-tion.

“Burning plastic createsnasty stuff,” he said. “Theysay gasifying eliminatesthe dioxins, which wouldbe wonderful if, A, thatwas 100 per cent true; B, itcreated no other nastyemissions we should beconcerned about; and, C, ifit did so in an energy-posi-tive way.” JESSICA SMITH

Since she was six yearsold, Amy Read has beenstruggling with a panicand anxiety disorder, andoften she had no one totalk to about it.

“In the late 1970s, par-ents didn’t understand,teachers didn’t know whatto look for — they didn’tunderstand the signs andsymptoms,” said Read. “Isuffered greatly.”

To get the discussion onmental illness out in theopen, she organized theinaugural Voices: Musi-cians with Mental Illnessbenefit concert at the Na-tional Arts Centre. Pro-ceeds from ticket sales willsupport the Royal OttawaMental Health Foundation.

Four Ottawa singer-songwriters are set to per-form live on stagetomorrow in a song-circleformat and talk about

their own experienceswith mental illness. LynneHanson, Pete Hammond,Ana Miura and AmandaRheaume will lead theshow with CBC Radio Onehost Alan Neal.

Rheaume will share herstory of dealing with panicdisorder for nearly 10years. She said the condi-tion never really goesaway, but medication com-bined with therapy hashelped her get through it.

She said she’s excited toopen up to others whomay be going through thesame struggle she is.

“To turn ugly times intogifts is something that Ithink is so amazing,” she

said. “If I have any kind ofinformation that mighthelp somebody else that’sgoing through it to notfeel so scared or so alone,then that would be amazing.”

“We’re going to missthe construction work-ers,” Johnson said.

The major reconstruc-tion of Bank Street willsee the final finishingtouches next spring — in-cluding the final layer ofpavement, new street-

“We’re looking forwardto the new sidewalks andthe new artwork going uparound the Glebe,” saidJohnson. “It’s exciting forthe Glebe to have thisopen again so we havebusiness back to usual.”

“We were a little bitslower in drive-by andwalk-in traffic, but it wasalso our wedding season,which helped us in termsof timing. But now we’relooking forward to wel-coming people back intothe Glebe,” she said.

Hundreds of police officersin riot gear raided the Occu-py Wall Street encampmentin New York City in the pre-dawn darkness yesterday,evicting hundreds ofdemonstrators and demol-ishing the tent city that wasthe epicentre of a move-ment protesting what par-ticipants call corporategreed and economic in-equality.

The police action beganaround 1 a.m. and lastedseveral hours as officerswith batons and plasticshields pushed the protest-ers from their base at Zuc-cotti Park.

Police CommissionerRay Kelly said about 200people were arrested, in-cluding dozens who tried toresist the eviction by link-ing arms in a tight circle atthe centre of the park. A

member of the city councilwas among those arrestedduring the sweep.

By 4:30 a.m., the parkwas empty, wiped clean ofany traces of the camp thathad been there since Sept.17. Tents and sleeping bagswere hauled away to thedump.

Later yesterday, a NewYork judge upheld the city’sdismantling of the encamp-

ment, saying that the pro-testers’ rights to free speechdid not entitle them tocamp out indefinitely in theplaza.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Judge’s ruling

Supreme Court JusticeMichael Stallman denied a motion by thedemonstrators seeking tobe allowed back into thepark with their tents andsleeping bags.

The protesters “have notdemonstrated that theyhave a First Amendmentright to remain in ZuccottiPark, along with theirtents, structures, genera-tors and other installationsto the exclusion of theowner’s reasonable rights... or to the rights to publicaccess of others whomight wish to use thespace safely,” Stallmanwrote

Can’t ‘evict an idea’: Occupy T.O.A judge says Occupy Toron-to protesters can remain ina downtown park while themerits of a city eviction or-der are argued in court.

Occupy Toronto protest-ers went to court yesterdayafter receiving the evictionnotices and are requestingan injunction against theeviction.

The judge says the pro-testers can’t be removed

pending his decision fol-lowing arguments on Fri-day, but added that no newstructures can be erected inthe park.

As police looked on, by-law officers threaded theirway between tents andthrough the mud yesterdaymorning to put up the no-tices, which were quicklytaken down.

The protesters said the

city could not “evict anidea” whose time hadcome, and they said theyplanned to stay.

But some demonstratorssaid they would leaverather than risk confronta-tion with police and possi-ble criminal charges.

Yes. You read that headline correctly.

And by “over-charged, under-appreciated, contract-loathing mobile phone customers” we mean a majority of all mobile customers in Canada.

On average, Canadians pay more than twice as much per minute than US mobile customers.* Obviously this is something none of you are very happy about. But your collective grumblings haven’t gone unheard. Over the past two years we at WIND Mobile have built our business by listening to your issues and then (surprisingly enough) adapting our off erings to meet your needs.

• That means getting a $0 phone without being shackled to a painful 3-year term contract. • That means knowing the distances between Canadians seem shorter if there are

no long distance charges to pay on our network. • That means we understand that the way to keep customers with us is not through

restrictive contracts, but by off ering fair pricing and transparent billing.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have already turned to WIND. And with each new customer we get the opportunity to listen to a new voice of change. So join us as together we create the plans, the services and the pricing that you deserve.

Because that’s the power of WIND.

A long-awaited experts’ re-port on how Canada andCanadian families handlethe end of life calls on thefederal government to de-criminalize euthanasiaand assisted suicide.

And if Ottawa won’t co-operate, the panel saysprovinces should go italone, by making clearthey won’t prosecutehealth-care professionalsinvolved in assisted dying.

“Assisted suicide andvoluntary euthanasiashould be legally permit-ted for competent individ-uals who make a free andinformed decision thattheir life is no longerworth living,” says the re-port by the Royal Societyof Canada’s expert panelon end-of-life decision-making.

The report took twoyears. It brought togethera panel of experts on med-icine, philosophy, ethicsand health to look at whatis being done in othercountries, examine Cana-dian practices and senti-ments, and formulaterecommendations.

The panel was meant tobe neutral, to inform ra-tional debate and lead tosolid policy in an area thatis always emotional andcontroversial.

But the Euthanasia Pre-vention Coalition of On-tario dismissed the reportbefore it was even public,saying at least one of thepanel members is a notedeuthanasia advocate.

“When we further in-vestigated the panel mem-bers it was clear that ...this report would be a pro-euthanasia propaganda re-port,” the group said in anews release Monday.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Largely unmoved by thevariously gentle and aggres-sive attempts by detectivesto get him to confess,Hamed Shafia takes particu-lar interest when he catchessight of some photos.

Held by Det. Sgt. MichaelBoyles, the photos are of hissisters’ bodies, having beenfound dead inside a NissanSentra the family boughtjust days prior, submergedin a canal at Kingston Mills.

Boyles, of the KingstonPolice Force, at first hesi-tates to show Hamed thephotos. “Please,” Hamedpleads. Boyles relents.

Boyles uses the photosduring his interrogation ofHamed as he prods him totell him what he knows —to get Hamed to explain his

father’s alleged role in thedeaths, and his own allegedrole.

Your sisters, the officerreasons, “deserve to knowthe truth, Hamed. They de-serve better than this. Theydon’t deserve this, Hamed.

“This wasn’t for your fa-ther to decide. This was for

God to decide.”Hamed seems transfixed,

but shows no emotion. “Wedon’t have Geeti,” he says.The pictures only show thetwo other sisters.

Found dead in the canal,on June 30, 2009, wereHamed’s three sisters,Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17 and13-year-old Geeti, alongwith Rona Amir Moham-mad, his father’s first wife.

Investigators keep sug-gesting to Hamed that he’slying. They explain theirwiretap evidence.

Trimming thecost of a haircutOne Ohio barber has turned theprice of a haircut on its head.

After a mortgage crisis, macro-un-employment, stock-market tumblesand poor consumer confidence, Gre-gory Burnett is only charging peoplewhat they can afford for a haircut, ac-cording to the Canton Repositorynewspaper.

After his usual back-to-school rushfailed to show, he put up a sign thatsays, “TIMES ARE HARD WHAT CANYOU PAY FOR A CUT.”

He has accepted as little as $5 for aregular $12 haircut, the newspaperreports.

The owner of Old School BarberShop said he named his shop for thatmantra.

“Old school is making somethingout of nothing,” Burnett told theRepository.

The 56-year-old has been a work-ing man all his life by doing servicejobs: shining shoes, driving cabs, andfor the last 25 years he has workedas a hairstylist and barber, the Repos-itory says.

And now that he has his own bar-ber shop, he still shines shoes.Although it’s $5, and that’s non-negotiable.

DAD’S DOINGDOUBLE DUTY

Life is full of doublestandards, and here’s one ofmine: I can admit I protect(and sometimesmicromanage) my daughters,11 and 9, in a way I probably

wouldn’t if I had boys. When I was dating my now-wife in

high school — yes, high schoolsweethearts! — I used to snicker whenshe had to get home by midnight to turnoff her dad’s alarm clock. If she didn’tbeat the alarm, he said he’d go out

looking for her, call police, call hospitals. I said I’d neverbe that kind of dad.

I am that kind of dad. More so because I have girls.Why? Well, for one thing, I’m fully aware there are

boys who will try to take advantage of them. Not allboys, but some.

There are also predators/monsters in the real worldand online, enormous pressures around drugs and alco-hol, and bullying (in recent weeks, a 10-year-old Illinoisgirl, Ashlynn Conner, hanged herself after being bulliedat school). I know these things apply to boys as well, but Ijust think the implications are compounded for girls.

It’s not that I don’t trustmy daughters. It’s that Iknow what kids are like. Iwas one. Kids are kids, notadults. They will make mis-takes. They will make baddecisions sometimes. Thereare so many peer pressures.

What I tell my girls iswe’re instantly accessiblewhenever they’re in a bind.Text us, call us, tweet us —we’ll be there. Noquestions. No judgments.(Well, questions will comelater.)

Mobile devices are ablessing for this generation,allowing kids to be muchmore accessible to theirparents if they’re in harm’sway. But adding social me-dia to the mix does createmore trigger points.

The extent of our bad“social media” growing up: crank calls and rolled-uppieces of paper (e.g., “Johnny loves Sarah”) passedaround class. Now there’s the quick distribution ofvoyeuristic photos from a party that go “viral” and MeanGirl tactics (“You’re fat,” “You’re ugly,” “You’re Stupid”)that don’t end in the schoolyard but continue onFacebook.

We let our daughters use social media — there aremany virtues to it — but monitor it very closely.

Sure kids have to have some sense of forging an iden-tify outside their parents. We will give ours some line.But my blinders will not be on. Denial and ignorance dono good. As parents, you have to anticipate and react.Particularly with girls.

My angels won’t understand all the decisions we makeuntil they have grown into women and parents.

In the meantime, all we can do is protect them — andhopefully empower them at the same time.

TransCanada Corp. says ithas reached an agreementwith the Nebraska govern-ment to change the route ofits proposed Keystone XL oilpipeline to avoid the eco-logically sensitive Sandhillsregion.

The Calgary-basedpipeline giant said it sup-ports Nebraska legislationthat ensures the pipelinedoesn’t cross the expanse ofgrass-strewn, loose-soilhills, and part of the Ogal-lala aquifer, which supplieswater to Nebraska and sev-en other states.

The 2,700-kilometre, $7-billion US pipeline, if built,will carry crude from Alber-ta’s oilsands to refineries onthe U.S. Gulf Coast, travers-ing six states along the way.

Some of the most heatedenvironmental oppositionto the pipeline has comefrom Nebraska, where

many residents were con-cerned a spill from thepipeline could pollute wa-ter they rely on for farmingand ranching.

Last Thursday, the U.S.State Department heededthose concerns, announc-ing it would delay its deci-

sion on Keystone XL untilearly 2013 so that the com-pany could come up with anew route. The U.S. StateDepartment has final sayon Keystone XL because itwould cross an internation-al border. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Show that stack of bills who’s boss.

The federal telecommunica-tions regulator has rejecteda controversial plan thatwould have allowed the bigphone and cable companiesto impose a usage-basedbilling model on Internetservice resellers, a systemthat the Conservative gov-ernment and many con-sumers had opposed.

The Canadian Radio-tele-vision and Telecommunica-tions Commission’sdecision yesterday insteadgives the companies a

choice of either chargingthe smaller Internetproviders a flat rate per useror selling the ISPs a specificamount of capacity on theirnetworks.

“The net effect of it isthat there will be no caps,no limitations, no meteringof use for retail customersas a result of this CRTC deci-sion,” CRTC chairman Kon-rad von Finckenstein said.

The regulator launchedits review after a social me-dia campaign launched by

the ISPs and an ensuingpublic backlash, as well asurging by former industryminister Tony Clement.

Under the new capacitymodel for billing, a smallISP buys a certain amountof network capacity fromone of the big providers,and if its customers unex-pectedly increase their us-age, their service couldslow.

“If they buy too littlethey have a problem withtheir end customers, if they

buy too much they pay forsomething that they don’tuse,” von Finckenstein said.

But Mirko Bibic of Bellparent company BCE, saidthe capacity method willforce the smaller providersto take on some of the riskthat was carried by Bell.

“It becomes a question ofwhether or not the inde-pendent ISP needs to buyfrom us one lane, two lanes,three lanes or 10 lanes inorder to accommodate thetotal traffic that their cus-

tomers use,” he said.Independent Internet

service provider TekSavvywas pleased with the struc-ture, but said the actualrates will increase costs forconsumers. “The rates ap-proved by the commissiontoday will make it muchharder for independent ISPsto compete,” TekSavvy CEOMarc Gaudrault said. “Thisis an unfortunate develop-ment for telecommunica-tions competition inCanada.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Milk: It fits a body wellWear Milk? Anke Domaskesays why not.

The 28-year-old Germanis the designer of an award-winning new textile madeentirely from milk. It’s en-vironmentally friendly aswell as soothing to peoplewith skin allergies. CalledQmilch — a combinationof quality and the Germanword for milk — it can bewashed and dried like cot-ton.

The biochemist andfashion designer has so faronly used the fabric tomake dresses for her MCCfashion line. Next year Do-maske plans to begin massproducing — and severalcompanies have already ex-pressed interest in usingthe fabric.

Currently, apparel de-pends heavily on byprod-ucts from oil, or naturalresources such as water —used in the thousands of

litres to produce just a boltof cotton. “We know thateverything that is based onoil has a limit, that materi-als like cotton that take upa lot of land, water andchemicals are limited, sowe need to think abouthow we produce fabricsand textiles in the future,”said Klaus Jansen, whoheads the Textile ResearchAssociation.

Tatjana Berthold, aseamstress for Domaske,has been cutting andsewing the fabric intodresses for the last year.“When you look (at) it, youcan’t see such a big differ-ence, but when you wear it,you feel the difference,”Berthold said.

Lynda Grose, a consult-ant and associate professorat the California College ofthe Arts in Oakland, Calif.,who specializes in ecologi-cally responsible design,

notes that the fashion in-dustry is dependent on theidea of disposal, of peoplewanting new designs.

“There is a tremendousamount of waste in thefashion world,” Grose said.She noted that rethinkinghow waste can be used willhelp make the fashion andtextile industry more eco-logically friendly.

German industry is im-pressed by Domaske’s inno-vation. She has receivedqueries from automakersthat see a potential for seatcovers, and members of themedical and hospitality in-dustries are interested in ahypoallergenic material forhospitals and hotel beds.

“The German textile in-dustry can only surviveagainst the competition ifit comes up with innova-tive, new products,” Jansensaid.

“Ms. Domaske has done

this in taking a raw materi-al and processing it to cre-ate a new thread that canbe sold to other companiesto create other products.That is very unique.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Interest rates boosthome sales: CREAThe Canadian Real EstateAssociation says home salesin Ontario were strongerthan anticipated during thethird quarter, giving furthercredence to projections thatmarket activity will remainstrong into next year, de-spite the slowing economy.

The industry associationrevised its forecast yester-day after reporting strongOctober sales. It now proj-ects sales this year will beup 1.4 per cent from 2010,half a percentage point bet-ter than the last forecast.

CREA expects there willbe slightly fewer units soldnext year than in 2011, butthe 0.5 per cent decline isan upward revision.

The association forecasts453,300 home sales coun-trywide this year, up from446,915 in 2010. The fore-cast for 2012 is 451,200homes sold.

The latest RBC HousingForecast also predicted 1.4per cent growth this year,

but was more upbeat thanCREA about future sales,expecting a 0.4 per cent in-crease in 2012.

The revisions come at atime when central banks inCanada and the U.S. arekeeping their key lendingrates low to counter theeconomic drag caused bythe European debt crisis.

“Homebuyers clearly seethe opportunities that thecurrent interest rate envi-ronment presents,” saidGary Morse, CREA’s presi-dent.

The assurance of rela-tively low borrowing costshas likely given home buy-ers confidence while risinghome values have kept newlistings at a healthy level.THE CANADIAN PRESS

This milk is not fordrinkingAlthough textiles madewith milk fibres havebeen around since the1930s, Domaske saidmost of them reliedheavily on acrylics.

After two years, Do-maske and her team fi-nally landed on aprocess of reducingmilk to a protein pow-der that is then boiledand pressed intostrands that can be wo-ven into a fabric.

Only organic milkthat fails to meet Ger-many’s strict qualitystandards for consump-tion is used.

Domaske concedesthat at $28 for half apound, her fabric costsmore to produce thaneven organic cotton.But she hopes local pro-duction will keep downtransport costs and re-duce the overall price.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

At the startof the ani-mated pen-guin pictureSurf’s Up,Cody Maver-ick (the voiceof Trans-

former’s star ShiaLaBeouf ) takes a shot atanother cartoon tuxedoedbird movie.

Asked if he has anyother skills besides surf-ing. Cody sarcasticallysays, “Like what? Singingand dancing?”

Of course, he’s refer-ring to Happy Feet, theOscar winning movie

about an Emperor Pen-guin who can’t find hissoul mate the usual way— through song — so heuses his other talent —tap dancing.

The musical penguinsof Happy Feet shimshammed their way tohuge box office in 2006,and will paddle and rolltheir way back into the-atres again this weekendin Happy Feet Two.

For a while, it seemedlike you couldn’t swing aherring without hitting apenguin at the movies.

March of the Penguins,a real-life look at the mi-gration march of Emperorpenguins to their tradi-tional breeding ground,was a left field hit in 2005.The winner for Best Docu-

mentary not only outgrossed all the nomineesfor Best Picture that year— it took in $77 millionvs. $75 million for Broke-back Mountain — but alsobecame the second high-est grossing theatricaldocumentary afterFahrenheit 9/11.

It was such a huge hit itinspired an R-rated paro-dy, Farce of the Penguins.Featuring the voices ofSamuel L. Jackson, JasonAlexander and ChristinaApplegate, it’s an R-ratedspoof that imagines whatsex-starved penguinsmight talk about on the70 mile walk to their mat-ing grounds.

“I am tired of the clubscene,” says one penguin.“So are the baby seals!”replies another.

More family friendlywas Madagascar, the storyof four Central Park Zooanimals who get strandedon the island of Madagas-car. The movie featured alarge menagerie of char-acters, but the zoo’s pen-guins, Skipper, Kowalski,

Rico and Private, provedto be audience favorites.They have most of themovie’s best lines — onlanding in Africa one ofthe flightless birds says,“Africa? That ain't gonnafly!” — and were featuredin a short film, The Mada-gascar Penguins in aChristmas Caper, a TV se-ries and video games.

Probably the most fa-mous penguin characterin the movies is OswaldCobblepot a.k.a. The Pen-guin, as played by DannyDeVito in Batman Re-turns.

This super villain is hu-man, but dresses like apenguin, eats raw fish andtries to conquer Gothamwith an army of speciallytrained penguins.

Get off the ledge — Community is not cancelledDespite rumors thatspread like wildfire on theInternet Monday evening,NBC’s Community has notbeen cancelled.

The comedy show,which stars Joel McHale,was not on the NBC’s mid-season renewal plans, butThe Hollywood Reportersaid that the show was notcancelled.

After Community en-thusiasts started to panicthinking the show wascancelled, Brain Stelter, a

New York Times reporterthat covers television anddigital media tweeted thefollowing:

“Community is definite-ly not cancelled. NYT's BillCarter says, two cubiclesover. ‘NBC says it’ll be offthe air for only a brieftime.’”

While the show is on

NBC’s prime Thursdaynight slot, it's no secret it’sstruggling.

According toMSNBC.com the show’smost recent airing attract-ed 3.5 million viewers,which is just short of itsseason low.

Transforming ordinary hu-mans into flesh-eating,mindless zombies forAMC’s monster hit TheWalking Dead involves afair bit of Hollywood mag-ic, to be sure. But makeupmaster Greg Nicotero or-chestrated his own re-markable transformationwith a leap to the direc-tor's chair for the show'ssecond season.

The special effects wiz-ard — whose diverse slateof movie projects includeInglourious Basterds, TheGreen Mile, Sin City, ThePacific and the Kill Bill se-ries — helms an upcomingepisode that marks a newbenchmark in his grue-some career.

The broadening appealof horror and fantasy fareis helping gross-out geekslike him find notoriety in

the mainstream, and evensnag high-profile projectsof their own, he says.

“I think what’s interest-ing about it is (we’re in) asituation where guys wholove and respected thegenre when they wereyounger are now well-placed in the industry,”Nicotero says in a recentinterview from the set ofThe Walking Dead.

“Between (directors)Sam Raimi and FrankDarabont and QuentinTarantino, Robert Ro-driguez — we all had thesame diet when we grewup, and that diet was lov-ing to watch old Ray Harry-hausen movies andreading Famous MonstersMagazine. It was just thiskind of weird shared exis-tence we all had when wewere younger.”

Nicotero and his prolificeffects company KNB EFXGroup are featured in a

new documentary fromCanadian filmmaker Don-na Davies called Night-

into detailed prosthetics,even as much of the indus-try is increasingly turningto computer-generatedspectacles.

“They can sometimestake six months to buildan effect that will be onscreen for three seconds,”Davies says of Nicotero andhis partners.

“These are sculptors,painters, artists, line crafts-men — it’s not just aboutsitting down and hitting abutton and there it is. AndI think you can feel thatwhen you watch theshows.”

Davies, whose other TVdocs have included Zom-biemania and PrettyBloody: The Women ofHorror, was fascinated bythe reverence effectsartists have for filmmakerswho came before them.She notes Nicotero learnedhis craft from ‘80s splatterwizard Tom Savini (Fridaythe 13th, Day of the LivingDead).

It was disclosed yester-day in a lawsuit filed inManhattan Supreme Courtthat the singer screamedobscenities at a toddler andthrew a punch at the baby’smother (who also happensto be a school teacher)sometime this year.

The mother, RoseannaMonk, is now suing LaBelle,who was living in her Man-hattan apartment buildingwhile appearing on Broad-way’s Fela. Apparently, thisis what happened, accord-

ing to Monk’s lawyer, re-ports The New York DailyNews: The 18-month-oldtoddler, named Genevieve,was “scampering” aroundthe apartment building’slobby when LaBelle, who isdescribed as being in “fullstar regalia with oversizeshades and a fur coat” be-came upset at the baby asshe walked through.

“‘What are you doing let-ting your kid run aroundlike that?’ she reportedlyyelled. And then, accordingto the lawyer yet again,‘started screaming at myclient, throwing water froma bottle at the mother’s faceand the baby’s face.’”

As if that wasn’t enough,LaBelle then took a swing atthe baby’s mother.

She then was shoved in-to a waiting car by her en-tourage and the baby

“violently” threw-up. So far, LaBelle hasn’t re-

sponded to the allegations. She’s probably too busy

not-babysitting to do so.

And in other baby news...Christina Applegate mightnot want to have LaBelle asa guest star on her TV showUp All Night anytime soon.

As she tells The View,having her nine-month-olddaughter Sadie around wasa priority when deciding todo the new NBC show.

“My whole thing was,‘I’m not doing this unless Ican bring her.’ So they hadto build me a room for herand it’s got her toys and acrib and she takes her napsthere,” the actress ex-plained. “That’s called acrazy mother who said, ‘No,I’m not doing anything un-less I can be with my baby.’”

We could all use a littlequality time in the sunand a dip in the ocean, es-pecially as another longCanadian winter ap-proaches.

But if you’re like someof the thousands of Cana-dian travellers who flockto this Caribbean islandnation of 10 million peo-ple each year, you wantthe all-inclusive travel ex-perience to be about morethan just sitting aroundthe resort all day with thelatest Danielle Steel/JohnGrisham novel.

That’s where the ItZone comes in. Launchedin November by Nolitours(a member of Transat A.T.Inc.), the It Zone is de-signed for travellers toPuerto Plata who enjoythe home base of an all-in-clusive resort — ours wasthe scenic Be Live GrandMarien — but who are ea-ger to get in touch withthe local culture, try someoutdoor adventure activi-ties and check out thenightlife beyond sportshighlights at the hotelbar.

Eat

A recenttour gave agroup ofCanadianjournalists aclose-upglimpse of lifeoutside theperimeter, but first wehad to fuel up with an in-timate dinner at chefRafael Vásquez Heinsen’sMares Restaurant andLounge. Vásquez Hein-sen’s shaded backyard ter-race serves as the maindining area, and the lob-ster is fresh from theocean that day.

Monkey business

The next day, a short driveoutside Puerto Plata, inSosua, is the Monkey Jun-gle, run by the husbandand wife team of Chuck

and Candy Ritzen. TheAmerican ex-pats have hiton an innovative businessmodel that contributes tothe economy, creates jobsand provides some basicdental and health care tothe local population.

Monkey Jungle ishome to 15 pro-

tected squirrelmonkeysand six Ca-puchinmonkeys,with acare

providerwho was for-

merly withthe Toronto Zoo.

You can walk throughthe squirrel monkey habi-tat and the curious simi-ans just hop on yourshoulders for a ride. It’sthe first time I’ve literallyhad a monkey on myback.

You can also zip-linethrough seven stations to-taling 4,400 feet and, be-fore the last zip, descendon a cable from a platforminto a cave; sort of likezip-lining, but vertically.The Ritzens have a self-sustaining operationwhere they use the profitsfrom the zip-lining and

monkey jungle activitiesto fund the health clinicon the premises.

Sustainable tourism

The idea of sustainable

tourism has also been tak-en up by tour companies.Transat A.T. Inc. partnerswith SOS Children’s Vil-lages, which providescaring, village-stylegroup homes for

orphaned, abused or aban-doned children.

We were given a tour ofthe village in Santiago delos Caballeros, about anhour from Puerto Plata.The smiling kids were cu-rious, and a spontaneousgame of baseball, the na-tional sports obsession,broke out using a stickand a ball of rolled-up tin-foil.

Go big, or go home

If it’s true youhave to go

big or gohome,thenOceanWorld isa must-see be-

fore youhead back

Open since 2004, themassive ocean-side com-plex features interactiveactivities with dolphins,sharks and stingrays aswell as exhibits witheverything from tigers totoucans.

In terms of size, theplace filters six millionlitres of seawater an hour.

And, if you like a touchof Las Vegas with your sunholiday, then Ocean Worldhas you covered with itsfull-service casino, discolounge, and Bravissimo, aglittery song-and-dance re-vue with more costumechanges than a Paris cat-walk.

The DominicanRepublichas becomea mecca forgreatbeaches

Although more touristsstill flock to the betterknown Punta Cana on the

Caribbean side, “Plata” isgaining ground due to itsgreat beaches and resorts.Plus there’s some prettyunorthodox, even way out,things happening — thingsyou would not expect tofind in such a sunny para-dise.

Take monster trucking,for example. When Ilearned this redneck, ’90spastime had somehowmade it to the Dominican,I just had to go for it. Ashort time later I foundmyself roaring throughthe back roads in an 8x8zebra-striped beast on avery bumpy and very longmonster truck safari!

Sure, the scenery wasbreathtaking: beautiful

sugarcane fields andserene rivers. Was I the on-ly one thinking how out ofplace our monster truckmust have appeared? Still,the monster truck did al-low us to get to placeswhere traditional vehiclescouldn’t make it, but wegot more than a few oddstares while passingthrough local villages.

Eight hours, and onevery sore back later, I wasback on the beach contem-plating my next adven-ture.

Bright and early the nextmorning it was down to theshores of the roaring YaqueDel North river for somevery exciting white waterrafting. I was full of adrena-

ways to give yourcareer some direction7Erin Millar and Ben Coli walk students through their post-secondaryjourney in The Canadian Campus Connection We combed thebook to find top tips to help you improve your job prospects

Stay healthy — it’s important

When it comes down to it,your health matters most.Don’t pull an all-nighter,stock up on coffee or forceyourself to attend yourweekly gym class if you’resick. Stress can take a tollon your health and can cre-ate an impact that goeswell into your graduateyears. Most post-secondaryinstitutions offer a pletho-ra of ways for you to goabove preventing illnessand into maintaining ahealthy state of life.

Fun electives canboost your resumé

How can a hiring managerforget the promising candi-date who, in addition toearning strong marks andjoining several clubs, com-pleted a course in videogame addiction and the his-tory of gaming at the Uni-versity of Western Ontarioor learned about swing andgolf etiquette at MedicineHat College?

Get to know your professors

You may not love your class.But getting to know yourprofessor could save your ca-reer. If you face the commonstruggle of finding a job af-ter you graduate, your pro-fessor could become thestrongest reference on yourresumé. Who knows youbetter than the person whosaw you every week in class,read your papers and evalu-ated your work ethicfirsthand? And you’ll bemore interested in what wis-dom he or she has to share.

Plan your career pathbefore you graduate

You shouldn’t be expectedto know where you want towork when you’ve onlyjust started university orcollege. But it’s a good ideato make an appointmentwith your adviser, even if itis to double-check thatyou’re fulfilling yourprogram’s requirements.The last thing you want isto discover you have toreschedule your classes orstay back a semester tocomplete a course.

There is more toschool than academics

Employers are moreimpressed with someonewho does well in schooland outside of it than some-one who can boast greatmarks with no extra-curric-ulars to show for it. Gettinginvolved on campusdemonstrates many traitsthat are desirable inemployers’ eyes — timemanagement skills and theability to multi-task andmeet deadlines. It indicatesthat you possess an interestin the world around you.

MARISABARATTATALENTEGG.CA

You don’t have tochoose betweenuniversity and college

Some programscombine the hands-on,practical experience of

college with the theo-ry-based, analyticalside of university.

For instance, thoseaspiring to be nursescan opt for a collegediploma focusing onskills and experience

or a more academic degree from a universi-ty. These programs in-crease a graduate’sappeal among employ-ers, as their educationdemonstrates they canthrive in both settings.

Don’tunderestimate the power of yournetwork

You’ve heard it andyou’ll hear it again: It’snot what you know, it’swhom you know.

It’s essential that youpossess a strong workethic and a passion for

what you do, but you’lllikely find after gradua-tion that this doesn’tseem to be enough tofind a job and that youneed a little extra.

The friends you make,the people you meet andthe advisers you workwith on campus can allhelp you find a job orput you in touch with the right person.

A meeting with WendyDoulton isn’t easy to comeby.

As a headhunter forhigh-profile clients such asAmazon, Gap and Sony,she’s responsible for find-ing the best talent to fillpositions that commandpaychecks beginning inthe six figures.

Viewers got a sneakpeek into what Doulton’slooking for in a Fortune500 executive when herBravo special, The Head-huntress, aired this week.While she’s the perfect re-ality star — successful, in-tense and quick — she wasmore than gracious when

we asked her to share somecareer advice. Here’s howto land on Doulton’s radar.

Know what you offer

“My foundational coach-ing is to know who you areand know what you bringto the party,” says Doulton.“Pay very close attentionto anything that affectsyour mood — positively ornegatively — and let thatinform you.”

Interview your interviewer

Interviews go both ways.“The trick here isn’t to an-swer the question right,it’s to get the job that’sright for you,” she says.“It’s like a date: ‘Does helike me, does he like me?’Well, do you like him? Do

you want to have coffeeand breakfast with himevery day of your life?”

Be positive

The poor job marketmakes headlines, butDoulton hasn’t seen a dipin business. “I’m recruit-ing for companies all thetime. Attitude is every-thing — if you want to sitaround and say, ‘There areno jobs out there,’ you’llbe right.”

Answer the question

Even if you don’t have theright answer to an inter-viewer’s question, get tothe point — and don’t takeyour time. “Don’t skirtaround the question. Peo-ple do that all the time,

even when they do have agood answer. And I thinkit’s because they havethese things that they

think they need to say.”

And answer it honestly

It’s important to come

across as genuine and putthings out in the open be-fore you get offered a posi-tion that isn’t right for you.

“Lawyers arethe onlypersons inwhomignorance ofthe law is notpunished.”

- Jeremy Bentham (1748 - 1832)How do you win in court?It starts with selecting theproper lawyer. But withcountless factors to consid-er, finding the ideal lawyerto navigate your case canbe overwhelming. Here arethree cautionary tales.

When shopping around for the right representative,remember there is no such thing as a ‘free’ consultation

PICKING OUT THE PROPER

LAWYER FOR YOUR CASE

WORKPLACE

LAW

AdvertisingA lawyer’s search enginerankings have nothing todo with his or her legalskill. Rather, Internet-basedadvertising allows lawyersto pay for and then snatchup high rankings on Googlethat are not indicative ofthe quality of the lawyer orher firm. Similarly, thereare no rules limitinglawyers without much ex-perience in employmentlaw from professing thatthey practise it, on theirwebsites and in the media,and they often do.

Free consultationsSome lawyers advertise“free” consultations. Thesecan be a sham. A free con-sultation is usually nothingmore than a bait and switchtactic, designed to get you

in the door and then con-vince you to spend moneyfor any substantive workperformed afterward.

Oral agreementsThe biggest problem mostpeople face with lawyers istheir billing practices. Thisis because the regulatorybodies that oversee lawyershave few restrictions gov-erning how they charge fortheir work. Lawyers are of-ten left to their own de-vices, charging clientsbased on any combinationof their time spent or theresult obtained. If asked, alawyer should predict tothe best of his or her abilitythe potential costs of yourcase. Then confirm thatarrangement in writing.

Verlander unanimous pick for Cy Young

In wake of Lucic-Miller incident, NHL GMs call for more goaltender protectionNext player to hit a netminder outside of the crease will likely face harsher penalties

The next player to ham-mer a goaltender outsideof his crease isn’t likely toget off as easily as MilanLucic.

A discussion among theleague’s 30 general man-agers yesterday produced astrong consensus thatgoalies need to be betterprotected — even whenthey stray from their owngoal to play the puck.That’s exactly what Buffa-lo’s Ryan Miller was doingon Saturday night when hesuffered a concussion aftertaking a hit from Lucic.

The Sabres were out-raged that the only punish-ment given to the BostonBruins forward on the playwas a two-minute minorfor charging. But BuffaloGM Darcy Regier left yes-terday’s meeting believingthat the next offenderwould be dealt with moreharshly.

“Based on our conversa-tions in the room, I person-ally believe (he) would be,”said Regier.

NHL disciplinarian Bren-dan Shanahan spoke withLucic on Monday but de-cided against suspendinghim because he didn’t feelthat he had the latitudeunder the current rules todo it. The Bruins forwardclaimed not to have run in-to Miller on purpose.

After learning yesterdaythat roughly two-thirds ofGMs would have preferredto see a suspension in thecase, Shanahan acknowl-edged that his mandatehad been altered.

“I think there’s certain-ly a very heightened sensi-tivity to the goalies and thefuture of all the goalies inthis league,” he said. “Cer-tainly they’re not fairgame. I think that playershave to understand that.The general managers ex-pressed to me the impor-

tance of all the players onthe ice but also the ex-treme importance of thegoaltender in that posi-tion.

“So I do think that’ssomething as a message tothe players around theleague, if anybody doesthink that it’s a tactic and

a tactic that is a smartgamble on their part, itwon’t be.”

The former NHL star hasbeen busy since replacingColin Campbell in the off-season and used yester-day’s meeting as a chanceto have an open discussionabout some of his deci-

sions so far. Among thecontroversial plays hehighlighted during a videopresentation was the hitby Rangers forward Wo-jtek Wolski on Ottawa Sen-ators captain DanielAlfredsson that went un-punished.THE CANADIAN PRESS

No open season on goalies

There was little questionJustin Verlander wouldunanimously win the ALCy Young Award. Now, thefar more intriguing ques-tion: Will he take the MVP,too?

“Do I think it’s possible?Yes. Would I like to win it?Of course,” he said duringa conference call. “It’s kindof a weird scenario.”

No starting pitcher haswon the MVP trophy sinceRoger Clemens in 1986,with Dennis Eckersley the

last reliever to get it in1992. Many say pitchersshouldn’t win the MVP, pe-riod, contending they al-ready have their ownaward.

But Verlander’s season— he won the pitching ver-sion of the Triple Crown,led Detroit to its first divi-

sion crown in 24 years anddrew every first-place voteyesterday in the Cy Youngrace — has ratcheted upthe debate in a crowdedMVP field that includesCurtis Granderson, JacobyEllsbury, Jose Bautista,Miguel Cabrera and more.

“Pitchers are on the bal-

lot,” Verlander said. Bol-stering the case for allpitchers, Verlander point-ed to the “tremendous ef-fect we have on the day ofour game.”

“I’m so different fromeverybody,” he said.

If he doesn’t win, Ver-lander said he’d like to seeGranderson, his formerteammate, get the award.

Verlander breezed to theCy Young, much the waythe Tigers’ ace humbledhitters with his 100 m.p.h.

fastball, sharp curve andwicked slider.

Verlander led the ma-jors in wins by going 24-5and topped baseball with250 strikeouts. His 2.40ERA was the best amongAL pitchers who qualifiedfor the title.

The 28-year-old rightywas listed on top on all 28ballots by members of theBaseball Writers’ Associa-tion of America and fin-ished with 196 points.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WHEELBASE MEDIA

It’s your move, Mustangand Challenger. The newChevrolet Camaro ZL1 hasgot your number, or morecorrectly, has beaten yourbest horsepower numbers... by a lot.

How does the high-per-formance ZL1 coupe andconvertible square with

General Motors’ greenifica-tion program of introduc-ing fuel-sipping electrics,hybrids plus a couple ofnew ankle-biter sub-com-pacts?

Well, the eco trend is def-initely here to stay, but atthe opposite end of the oil

barrel, GM’s cornerstone di-vision isn’t neglecting its in-volvement in themuscle/ponycar bracket. Al-though relatively small, thepedal-to-the-metal gun-fighter class remains un-equivocal in its No ImportsAllowed policy.

And in this club the nu-mero uno bylaw states thathorsepower rules and ab-solute horsepower rules ab-solutely, or at least untilanother club member upsthe ante and overthrowsthe leader.

The 2011 edition of theChevrolet Camaro’s SSmodel was rated at 426horsepower and was cer-tainly nothing to besneezed at.

But it couldn’t catch acold next to the DodgeChallenger’s SRT8 392 thatgenerated 470 horses fromits 6.4-litre “Hemi” V-8 en-gine. That goes double forFord Mustang-based ShelbyGT500’s 550 ponies thatemanate from a super-charged 5.4-litre V-8.

With bragging rights onthe line, you just had toknow that Chevrolet wouldeventually retaliate.

MALCOLM [email protected] MEDIA

EngineThe 2012 ZL1’s supercharged 6.2-litre V-8 — a variation of theengines found in the Corvette ZR1 and Cadillac CTS-V — ismated to a six-speed manual transmission and dynos at 580horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque. This makes it themost powerful production Camaro ever built and, Chevroletproclaims, will be the most powerful Chevy droptop ever.

The ZL1 constitutes much more than just unbridled horse-power, but represents a thoroughly sorted out performanceplatform where nearly every component has been beefed upor completely redesigned to handle the engine’s hefty output.

Often when companies dig out sacred names from the past, they’re stuck to inferior cars that disappoint. Not here.

CabinBoth driver and their front passengershould have no problems stretchingout inside the Camaro’s generouslysized cabin with its power-adjustableheated leather seats with grippysuede-like inserts. They’ll also appre-ciate the sounds from the dual-modeexhaust system that becomes freerflowing (and louder) when the driveropens the taps a bit.

SuspensionThe ZL1’s suspension employs GM’sMagnetic Ride Control, which uses spe-cial shock dampers that constantly varythe degree of firmness, according toroad and driving conditions.

There are also Tour (soft) and Sport(firmer) settings that the driver can dialin. Most of the remaining suspensioncomponents have either been strength-ened or swapped out.

STILL KICKING: STICK SHIFT NOT DEAD YETgroundhog, overly angryand muscled by steroid use.OK bad analogy, but you getmy point.

Stick shifts have had fourtraditional advantages: al-ways cheaper, always morefun, always more fuel effi-cient, and always more zip(acceleration and topspeed). But the new crop ofautomatic transmissionshas turned the tables whenit comes to efficiency andzip. Traditional-type auto-matic transmissions used tohave three or four gears.Now they have more gearsthan most manuals.Chrysler’s new automatichas eight.

We’re also seeing moreuse of the Constant VelocityTransmissions (CVT) andthe twin-clutch transmis-sion. The former has nogears, and as such, is com-pact, light, and can be tai-lored for optimumefficiency. The latter is hardto explain (for me at least),but makes uses of two

clutches — one for odd-numbered gears and onefor even-numbered gears. Itcan go from gear to gear inthe blink of eye, becausethe subsequent gear is al-ready “pre-engaged” andonly needs a nod from acomputer to get busy. Theycan shift faster than any hu-man hand could, and theirspeed is increased by thefact that they don’t need asuspension of torque to gettheir shift completed (henceno torque convertor). Twin-

clutch transmissions arerapidly becoming the trans-mission of choice for per-formance vehicles, even forsuch racey marques as Fer-rari, BMW and Porsche.

“Our take rate on manu-al transmissions is waydown,” says Laurance Yap,director of marketing,Porsche Cars Canada. Headds that, ironically, Euro-peans are leading the waywith automatic transmis-sions. Europeans have his-torically snubbed their

noses at lazy automatics,but they have fallen in lovewith the sportier “twinclutch” design. Across the911 model line in Germany,for example, Yap notes that75 to 80 per cent are soldwith PDK. (PDK is a shortform for the official nameof the company’s twinclutch — Porsche Dop-pelkupplung. Just try sayingthat correctly in Germanwithout hurting yourself.)

The Canadian “takerake” for 911 models with

PDK is only 50 per cent. Gofigure: we like manualtransmissions more thanthe Autobahn enabled Ger-mans.

Which brings us back toour angry groundhog.

Manual transmissionswill continue to have a life,even in this era where theyare technologicallytrumped, because they aresimply more engaging andfun for a certain tribe ofdriver. The Cadillac CTS-Vand the upcoming MazdaMX-5 are two examples ofnew vehicles that are mak-ing “statements” by offeringa manual transmission —they are signalling that theyare ready to emotionally en-gage a driver so inclined.

Actually, as vehicles be-come increasingly sophisti-cated and computerized,the manual transmissionwill have an increasing im-portant role — to regainsome of that lost emotionalconnection to the mechani-cal beast within.

“Stick shift” vehicleshave been in steadydecline. Currently theyrepresent only aboutfive to seven per centof the North Americannew-vehicle market.

That steep of adecline couldsuggest a zeromarket sharemight soon bein the cards.

MIKE [email protected]

While the all-new 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera will feature one of the world’s most

sophisticated twin-clutch automatic transmissions, it will also continue to embrace the

“stick shift” religion — this time with the world’s first seven-speed manual.

Hyundai hoping for a Super Bowl victoryAutomaker aims to raise brand awareness with five TV spots airing before and during big game broadcast

Hyundai Motor Co. is hop-ing that five televisionspots before and during theFeb. 5 Super Bowl gamewill help to bolster its ris-ing brand recognition andcontinue big sales gainsfrom the past few years.

North American CEOJohn Krafcik says the fast-growing brand is workingon a 60-second spot thatwill run right before kick-

off, plus two ads on thepregame show and twoduring the first and thirdquarters of the game.

He wouldn’t say howmuch the Korean automak-er is spending on the ads,which will compete withthe most creative spotsAmerican companies haveto offer during one of tele-vision’s highest-rated andmost expensive sporting

events. Last year Super Bowl ads

cost companies about $3million for 30 seconds.

Chrysler Group LLC’stwo-minute spot featuringrapper Eminem was amongthose that created the mostSuper Bowl buzz last year,and it helped kick off whathas been a strong sales yearfor the recovering compa-ny. The cinematic third-

quarter ad showed Em-inem driving through De-troit and introduced a newcar, the Chrysler 200 sedan,amid gritty scenes of thecity. A voiceover talkedabout how the city has sur-vived going through “helland back.”

Krafcik said Hyundaihopes to have standoutspots as well, but it will fo-cus more on a brand mes-

sage rather than going forentertainment value.

“We’re competing withDoritos and Pepsi and An-heuser-Busch,” he said Fri-day at an auto showbriefing for reporters at atechnical centre near AnnArbor, Mich. “Those aretough competitors from anentertainment point ofview.”

Hyundai, he said, might

have a little more fun withits ads this year and try tomake them more memo-rable than in the past. Butit’s also trying to swayabout a third of the automarket that has a neutralview of the brand, whichsells the Elantra compact,Sonata midsize car and Tuc-son crossover SUV, amongother models.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Final-gen GM minivans should offer reliability2005 to 2009 Pontiac Montana/Chevrolet Uplander

SECONDGEAR

[email protected]

For many shoppers, theminivan delivers the ulti-mate in bang-for-the-buckwhen it comes to movinga family around.

At General Motors, theChevrolet Uplander andPontiac Montana SV6 werethe most recent offeringsto the minivan-seekingmasses.

Though cosmeticallydifferent, the underlyinghardware in the Uplanderand Montana were basical-ly identical.

The following informa-tion, therefore, applies toboth.

EnginePower came from oneof two V-6 engines: a3.5-litre with 200 horsepower, ora 3.9-litre with 240. A four-speedautomatic transmission wasstandard and All Wheel Drivewas available.

Common issuesProblems stated with thenewer GM minivan power-plants seem few and farbetween — and are mainlysensor related. If theengine and transmission’sservice requirements havebeen adhered to, if it runssmoothly and if no “checkengine” lights are illumi-nated, you’re well on yourway. Be sure to “feel” forany transmission slipping— and avoid any modelthat exhibits it.

Avoid models with pow-er sliding doors. These canbe an expensive hasslewhen they fail.

VerdictA well-maintained Uplan-der or Montana should bea machine from whichowners can expect solidpowertrain reliability,plenty of space and afford-able pricing in the usedmarket.

What ownerslikeMost owners report acomfortable highway ride, smooth per-formance, plenty of interior space anda flexible cargo and passenger compart-ment layout. Gas mileage is ratedstrongly, relatively speaking.

What ownersdislikeComplaints tend to in-clude interior squeaking, rattlingand trim wear as the vehicles age,as well as bland and uninspiredstyling.
