petition, which attracted international firms, would not be good for the city’s image. “I would expect a lot of those players to be looking at this and seeing it as extremely disrespectful,” she said. Mayor Don Iveson said he believes the city’s refined vision still meets all the goals of what the city wanted to create, but does so without taking on a financial risk. “I want to build a great neighbourhood. I want to change the housing market. I want to show environmental leadership, but I need to do that in a financially responsible way,” he said. Perkins and Will had declined to be part of the implementation team for the project 2 and Iveson said the city’s relationship with the firm had deteriorated. “I would say that they’ve not been co-operative and you saw some of that today.”

PAYS

Ignoring pleas from the original architects of the Blatchford neighbourhood, city councillors moved ahead a scaled-back version of the new community Tuesday. In a 10-2 vote, council approved moving forward on city administration’s recommended version of the redevelopment, which removed some of the sustainable features the original architects, Perkins and Will, had suggested. Council also voted for a report on some of the ideas city 1 administration left out that

might make the project more sustainable. City administration had done cost estimates on the Perkins and Will design and determined it would have seen the city lose $280 million. The city’s changes removed a proposed pneumatic garbage answer. system, a bio-mass energy facility and separate drainage system, while also changing some of the design, but estimated that when fully built, the project would net the city a $45-million profit. Representatives from Perkins and Will said they were stunned by the changes and stunned to see their plan rewritten. “We find ourselves disappointed by being put in this position of even comparing two plans,” said Joyce Drohan, director of urban planning for the firm. She said making such drastic changes after a design com-

More history needed on city’s queer community: Project members

EPSB proposes more teaching positions Education. 339 fulltime teaching positions cut last year; same number proposed to be added this year

NEWS

With the 34th year of the Edmonton Pride Festival set to wrap up Sunday, some Edmontonians want to keep the spirit alive through a local history venture. Called Edmonton Queer History project, project members are collecting archival photos, interviews and other memorabilia marking the history of Edmonton’s pride community since there are holes in the archival information. “There’s very little documented queer history in the City of Edmonton pre-1990 (...) and we’re concerned about losing that history as people age and pass away,” said Kristopher Wells, main organizer of the Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services-led project. Next year’s Pride celebrations marks 35 years, with the group members wanting Edmontonians to “remember the past and chart the future,” said Wells. Group members are asking Edmontonians to share their Pride memorabilia as part of the project by emailing EdmontonQueerHistoryProject@gmail.com.

Edmonton’s public school district will consider adding 339 full-time teaching positions back to its staffing roster after cutting the same number last year. At an EPSB meeting Tuesday, the district trustees reviewed a proposed $1 billion budget for the 2014-2015 public school year, which board chairperson Sarah Hoffman called status quo. After cutting 339 full-time equivalent positions in last year’s budget, the district is looking to bring back 119 fulltime certified staff and 220 fulltime non-certified staff. “The reason we are able to do that is we have more kids coming,” Hoffman said about the new teaching positions. “I don’t want anyone to think we can drastically cut class sizes.” The district is expecting a 2.6 per cent enrolment increase next year — approximately 88,793 students in 202 public schools — while only working with a 2 per cent funding increase from the province. To address a funding shortfall, EPSB will be accessing $13.8 million in reserve operating funds to keep the budget balanced.

The Edmonton Public School Board chairperson Sarah Hoffman called the district’s proposed $1 billion budget “status quo.” METRO FILE

Hoffman said the budget reflects EPSB values, but it isn’t sustainable accessing surplus funds. “I’m glad we had a cushion this year, because we need it,” she added. Along with new teaching positions, the latest budget also includes a change to the First Nations, Metis and Inuit allocation, by hiring four specialized FNMI consultants at a cost of $450,000. Approximately $750,000 has also been set aside for security cameras at elementary schools. The board will vote on the budget June 24.

Decrease in provincial funding...

Bus fees increase for public school students Public school students will be paying a higher price for bus passes next year, after the city’s public school board approved an increase to transportation fees.

Edmonton Public School Board approved an 11 per cent increase for the $27 pass and a 14.6 per cent increase for the $48 pass, leaving parents to now pay $30 and $55 respectively. After keeping the fees the same price for the last four years, the district had to up the costs following a decrease in provincial funding and to accommodate the demand in new neighbourhoods.

When my mother sang “The Wheels on the Bus” to me when I was younger, she forgot to mention how hard it would actually be to drive said bus. On Tuesday, I was put to the test as I participated in the city’s Transit Skills (Roadeo) competition at Northlands. I was nervous. The biggest vehicle I’ve ever driven was a 26-foot-long U-Haul truck, which wasn’t nearly as scary as this mammoth bus that has a kick-back people always forget about, said city officials. Thankfully, no volunteers were hurt during my time on the bus. I wish I could say the same about some pylons and barrels along the course. Luckily, my instructor was patient and knew the mis-

takes first-timers make when sitting behind the wheel. As I geared up to take the first right turn, I alternated between checking my side mirror and moving my sweaty hands to turn the steering wheel, yet I still squished two pylons. That was one of the easiest tasks, with the course later asking us to get our rear wheels through small pylons and then drive 30 km/h through a barrel-lined aisle. Operators were also welcomed to polish their turns and accuracy at the roadeo. “It gives operators a chance to test their skills against themselves and against their colleagues,” said Linda Kadatz, ETS Bus Operations Divisional Supervisor. The top-scoring operator will represent Edmonton at the international competition in Austin, Texas.

Obstacles

Enter the gauntlet Volunteers lined the obstacle course at Northlands on Tuesday as councillors, bus operators and members of the media climbed aboard to drive through the obstacles listed below: • Serpentine through a series of pylons • Right-hand turn • Navigate around a barrel then park next to a “curb” as close as possible • Left-hand turn • Drive through narrow pylons • Get rear wheels lined up in between smaller pylons • Drive through a barrellined aisle doing 30 km/h • Stop at a high pylon as close as possible City officials say the hardest part of the test may be for drivers to get over their nerves before they tackle the course.

Province to fund LGBTQ program through cash confiscated from crime Youth mentorship. Pride Centre links young members with mentors leah germain

Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Jonathan Denis announces funding Tuesday for a new mentorship program that links LGBTQ youth with adult mentors in Edmonton. Leah Germain/Metro

Cash confiscated from criminal acts throughout the province will be used to help fund a new mentorship program to support LGBTQ youth in Edmonton. Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Jonathan Denis made the announcement Tuesday, which slated $76,250 from the Civil Forfeiture Fund for the new program. The Civil Forfeiture Fund uses money taken from bad guys and uses it for good programs, said Denis. “This is one project we wanted to fund, because we

wanted to make sure LGBTQ youth make good choices and don’t get involved in negative influences,” he added. The one-time grant will be used to link LGBTQ youth in Edmonton with adult mentors over the next two years. Mickey Wilson of the Pride Centre said the mentorship program is a huge asset to young members of the city’s LGBTQ community. “It’s not simple being a teenager ever and when you add that extra layer of complexity, there aren’t a lot of role models in the community for them to look up to, so we’re going to give them that Growing up different

The program plans on connecting 12 youth with adults every quarter. “They don’t teach anything in school about being queer,” Wilson said. “I think this will make a huge difference.” Pride Centre volunteer Sarah Willey said mentorship programs have been an important part of the centre’s mandate. “The kids need to have someone there for them,” she said. “It’s wonderful to have a mentor in a parent or a teacher, but rarely are instructors and people in education out and if they are, they can’t really talk about it.”

Masked man. Woman awakes to find intruder Police are looking for a masked man who broke into a Mill Woods home Tuesday morning and attempted to sexually assault a woman. Shortly after 2 a.m., police responded to a home near 20 Avenue and 49 Street. According to EPS, a man entered the house wearing a balaclava while the occupants slept. The woman awoke when the suspect entered her bed-

room and threatened to sexually assault her. She was able to fight him off and escape with her son and mother, police said. The suspect, who was wearing blue jeans, black boots and black gloves, fled. Police ask anyone with information to contact EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. LEAH GERMAIN/METRO

Pregnancy. Program will get $1.4M to continue Jesse Jackson doesn’t know what would have happened had she not found the pregnancy program at the Boyle Street Community Services, but she does know that it helped turn her life around. “The main focus for me was sobriety and being a firsttime parent, I was scared,” she said. As she went through the Healthy, Empowered and Resilient (HER) Pregnancy program, she said, it opened her eyes. Jackson was on hand Tuesday for an announcement

by Minister of Health Fred Horne that the program, which helps at-risk pregnant women, will receive $1.4 million over the next three years. Staff have tracked fetal heart rates by a dumpster in a back alley and have helped deliver four babies in staff cars, said Marliss Taylor, Streetworks program manager. “We are convinced that support, compassion and appreciation of the strength of these women will always benefit them, their children and society at large,” she said.

City councillors moved a step closer to creating an arm’slength development company

for the City of Edmonton. Councillors unanimously approved a motion Tuesday to have administration report on how such a company could be set up and how it might be funded. Coun. Michael Oshry, who proposed the idea, said a company like this could pay the city a dividend and could also be used for city building. “We could spur some development in an area where maybe there are no developers willing to be the first ones through the door,” he said. Oshry said he’s not in fa-

vour of throwing all of the city’s land into the company’s hands, but he believes it could do a lot to improve the city. “This is just a tool in the toolbox,” he said. Coun. Mike Nickel said he believes the idea would be great for the city. “If we choose our board wisely and keep our hands off of it, I think it can do very, very well,” he said. “The taxpayers deserve a return on it.” Oshry’s motion came after a review of several other cities that have set up similar companies. He said he be-

Sewol ferry’s crew appears in court Gwangju, South Korea. Nearly two months after the ferry sank, 292 bodies have been recovered and 12 people remain missing Fifteen crew members from the sunken South Korean ferry appeared in court Tuesday to enter pleas on charges of negligence and failing to save more than 300 dead or missing passengers. As the crew members stood with bowed heads before three Gwangju District Court judges, families of the victims struggled to contain their fury. Many wore yellow ribbons in memory of those killed in the April 16 accident, most of whom were students on a school trip. Nearly two months after the sinking, 292 bodies have been recovered and 12 people are still missing. Divers continue underwater searches for those believed trapped inside the sunken ship. Because of time constraints Tuesday, only 11 of the 15 entered pleas of not guilty. The remaining four are scheduled to appear at a hearing in one week. All surviving crew members responsible for the ship’s navigation have been charged with negligence and with failing to do their duty to protect passengers. Several

“The defendants, who should have saved the passengers first, ran out first and lived.... The defendants not only killed the passengers, they also killed the souls of the families and basic trust in our society.” A statement by a committee of the ferry victims’ families, demanding strict punishment.

of the defendants acknowledged some responsibility at Tuesday’s hearing but denied that they caused the sinking, saying they had little control over the stability of the ferry. After expressing his condolences to victims’ families, Judge Lim Joung-youb emphasized the rights of the defendants to make their own arguments. The public hostility against the crew has raised questions

about the fairness of the trial. They are being defended by six state-appointed lawyers. Capt. Lee Joon-seok and three other crew members are charged with homicide, which could carry the death penalty. Prosecutors accuse them of tacitly colluding to abandon the ship while being aware that the passengers would be trapped and killed when the ship sank. The Associated Press

Radiation leak. Five more Afghanistan. Officials potentially explosive investigating friendly fire containers discovered in in death of five U.S. troops U.S. nuclear waste dump New Mexico Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn says scientists investigating a radiation leak at the U.S. government’s underground nuclear waste dump have identified five other potentially explosive containers in West Texas. Flynn told a legislative panel on Tuesday that scientists investigating the Feb. 14 leak from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant have been unable to replicate the chemical event believed to have caused a drum to breach. But he says they have found five other barrels

from the same waste stream from Los Alamos National Laboratory and are narrowing their focus on those because of their very high acidic content. Initially, three of those drums were thought to be at Los Alamos. But Flynn’s office late Tuesday says all five are being stored at Waste Control Specialists in Andrews, Texas. Flynn says the public should be concerned — but not worried — because proper precautions are being taken. The Associated Press

Five American special operations troops were killed by a U.S. airstrike called in to help them after they were ambushed by the Taliban in southern Afghanistan, in what appears to be one of the deadliest friendly fire incidents in 14 years of war, officials said Tuesday. “Investigators are looking into the likelihood that friendly fire was the cause. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of these fallen,” said Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby in a statement. The deaths occurred during a joint operation of Afghan and NATO forces in the Arghandab district of southern Zabul province ahead of Saturday’s presidential runoff election, said

provincial police chief Gen. Ghulam Sakhi Rooghlawanay. After the operation was over, the troops came under attack from the Taliban and called in air support, he said. There was no way to independently confirm Rooghlawanay’s comments. The coalition would not comment and NATO headquarters in Brussels also declined to comment. One of the five American troops killed Monday was identified as 19-year-old Aaron Toppen of Mokena, Ill., who had deployed to Afghanistan in March, according to a family spokeswoman, Jennie Swartz. The Taliban claimed responsibility for Monday’s ambush in Zabul. The Associated Press

Opening the four-day London summit, the Hollywood star and United Nations envoy spoke with passion and conviction, recalling her meetings with rape victims who struggle with injustice and stigma long after their countries have emerged from

conflict. “We must send a message around the world that there is no disgrace in being a survivor of sexual violence, that the shame is on the aggressor,” she said, to cheers from the audience. “We need to shatter that culture of impunity.” Jolie and British Foreign Secretary William Hague are co-hosting the event, billed as the largest gathering on the subject ever. the associated press

‘Unbearable sadness’ expressed at funeral for slain Mounties Farewell to the fallen. Police, public fill arena to pay final respects to Mounties Douglas James Larche, Fabrice Georges Gevaudan and Dave Joseph Ross The brother of one of the three New Brunswick Mounties killed in the line of duty told a regimental funeral service Tuesday that the death of Const. Douglas James Larche has left him feeling an overwhelming despair. Daniel Larche, a master seaman in the Royal Canadian Navy, spoke of the bond he shared with his brother during his eulogy. “I stand here before you with an unbearable sadness,

disbelief, rage, because a great man was taken away from us far too soon,” he told mourners inside the Moncton Coliseum. “Never in my worst nightmare did I envision a stitch in time that I would be giving his eulogy.” Police and members of the public filled the hockey arena for the funeral service for Larche, 40, and fellow constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, 45, and Dave Joseph Ross, 32. Ross’s brother-in-law, Adrian Vander Ploeg, recalled how the RCMP officer was making dinner but dropped everything, including leaving the barbecue lid up and the garage door open, to be among the first to respond to a report of a gunman last Wednesday evening. “For those closest to Dave, that barbecue left still open says everything about who

Dave was and his devotion to those around him,” Vander Ploeg said. Gevaudan was remembered by Geoffrey McLatchie, his spiritual adviser, as a doting husband and stepfather. “Fabrice lived a heart-centred life, a life of joy and happiness, a life where he connected to the community in which he lived,” McLatchie said. “He was very comfortable in his own skin and he was his own man.” RCMP pallbearers carried the flag-draped coffins of the slain officers into the arena. A beige RCMP Stetson sat atop each casket. Danny, a police dog that served with Ross, was led inside. Prime Minister Stephen Harper acknowledged a “searing grief” that has enveloped New Brunswick, a province he said he’s proud to call his ancestral home. He said while

the justice system will establish what happened, one thing is certain. “We do not need a verdict to know that what happened here is an outrage,” he said. Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown, the command-

ing officer of the RCMP in the province, saluted the dead officers as well as constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen, two other Mounties who were wounded in the shootings. “With the eyes of the nation upon us today, I want to pub-

licly say how incredibly proud I am of each and every one of you,” he told the officers in the crowd while choking back tears. “I only wish I could have told Doug, Dave and Fabrice that in person.” the canadian press

‘Searing grief’

“Together, we struggle for answers. We ask what in God’s name happened here and why. We may never know.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper ‘It’s a brotherhood’

Entire police community feels effect of shootings Before the funeral service began, people inside the arena stood and applauded for 45 minutes as police officers from across Canada and the U.S. arrived to take their places. In front of a stage were three large portraits of the slain officers in their dress uniforms. There were also three Canadian flags on the left and right sides of the stage. Before the service, a procession of about 2,700 police officers wound its way through the city with pipers and drummers leading the mourners. Four RCMP officers on

horseback followed the 1.6-kilometre-long procession, leading three hearses carrying the dead officers. Members of the RCMP and municipal police forces, as well as correctional officers and U.S. border patrol officers, were among those who marched to the Moncton Coliseum, which can hold about 7,000 people.Public transit buses picked up officers in advance of the televised service. Brenda Jaillet of Oromocto, N.B., said the shooting deaths have touched her husband, a retired RCMP officer. “It’s a brotherhood,” Jaillet said outside the coliseum before the service. “What has affected these three members has affected him. It could have been him at any time during his career.” the canadian press

Fistfights could have shaped our faces: Study Minimizing injury. Man’s facial structure may have evolved as our ancestors took beatings, study says Human faces may have been shaped by violent fistfights. The University of Utah’s findings deal a heavy blow to previous research that suggests changes in bone structure were down to the dietary need to crush hard foods such as nuts. Lead researcher David Carrier explains to Metro why stronger bones were needed to act as a buttress against a new form of boxing.

Some men have had their fair share of booze-fuelled scraps. But what were our ancestors fighting about? I think it would have been pretty much the same

as gorillas and chimpanzees: competition over females, territory and defence of one’s family and offspring. So in some ways it’s similar to today. How do the changes that occurred in hominins and australopiths — the ancestors of Homo sapiens — compare to gorillas? If you compare the face of a chimpanzee or a gorilla to that of an australopith, it’s more stout and robust. The mandible, molar teeth, brow ridges, orbit (socket of the skull), cheekbones and the pillars along the edge of the nose, which provide support, are much thicker. In the early australopiths these parts of the face were absolutely more robust than the same part of the face as male gorillas, which are four times the size. So why was there a need for such considerable facial re-

construction? This evolution occurred at the same time that our hands were changing in proportion to allow us to make a fist-like club. The bones which are susceptible to fracturing during a fistfight have increased in both early australopiths and humans. And it’s the same bones that show the greatest difference between male and female australopiths and Homo lines, including Homo

sapiens. So if their hands were like a club, was their fighting technique more a battering motion than a punch? That’s possible, but we don’t know. The australopiths were the first to be capable of a forward striking punch or a modern human’s punch. The anatomy was there four to five million years ago. metro world news

One dead, one injured in yet another U.S. school shooting Oregon. Police identify gunman but not releasing his name after latest campus rampage

Obama: U.S. should be ashamed

A gunman armed with a rifle shot and killed a student Tuesday and injured a teacher shortly after classes started at a U.S. school and was later found dead as police arrived, authorities in Oregon said. Authorities have tentatively identified the teen gunman, who was found slumped on a toilet in a bathroom, but weren’t ready to release the name, Troutdale Police Chief Scott Anderson said. Authorities say the shooter likely killed himself. Anderson said the teacher, Todd Rispler, a 50-year-old physical education instructor, suffered non-life threatening injuries and was treated at the scene.

Privacy. Concerns raised about new bill The Conservative government’s cyberbullying bill would make too much information about Internet users more easily available to a wide array of authorities, Canada’s new privacy czar warns. Testifying Tuesday at the House of Commons justice committee, Daniel Therrien again urged the government to split the bill in two to allow for thorough examination of several measures that would expand online monitoring. The legislation would make it illegal to distribute “intimate images” without consent and remove barriers to getting such pictures scrubbed from the Internet — changes Therrien supports, calling them “largely uncontroversial.” Civil libertarians say the cyberbullying bill will erode Internet privacy and make it easier for government to spy on the activities of law-abiding Canadians. the canadian press

Messi’s mystery nausea foxes docs

Advertisers try to score with music

Social media tracking World Cup games

Shortly after coming on as a second-half sub in Argentina’s last World Cup warm-up, Lionel Messi doubled over and appeared to vomit on the pitch. He’s done it at least a half-dozen times with Argentina and club team Barcelona, mystifying doctors and fans alike. “Nerves,” says Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella, and that’s a diagnosis as good as any. The Argentina captain and four-time world player of the year is under tremendous pressure to lead the Albiceleste to its first World Cup trophy since 1986. The team opens its campaign against BosniaHerzegovina on Sunday. Top athletes throwing up before, during or after a competition is not unusual. Sometimes it’s because of the physical stress on their bodies, sometimes because of performance anxiety. What’s unusual about Messi is that it seems to happen quite randomly, not when the pressure would seem the greatest or when he’s exhausted himself to the limit. Barcelona’s medical staff hasn’t been able to find the cause. Neither have Argentina’s team doctors, nor Messi himself. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Companies that are advertising for the World Cup are hoping music will strike a chord with fans globally. Because the FIFA World Cup is the most popular sports event on the planet, advertisers want to take advantage of the large viewing audience. But the World Cup poses problems for companies that are used to making a splash at big sporting events like the Super Bowl with a pricey 30-second spot. First off, soccer doesn’t have very many commercial breaks, with two 45-minutes halves played mostly straight through. Additionally, soccer is a global event, so it’s hard to make TV ads that translate across cultures. As a result, brands — both official sponsors and those that just want to capitalize on the event — increasingly are using music to get the world’s attention: Danone’s Activia yogurt teamed up with Shakira to update her wildly popular 2010 World Cup Song “Waka Waka,” about Africa, with a Brazil-centric video for “La La La.” Coca-Cola made a song in English, “The World is Ours,” and then created 32 local versions, each sung by a local artist in the native language. And Beats by Dre launched a splashy five-minute video “The Game Before the Game” that shows soccer stars like Neymar Jr. and many others preparing for game time by listening to “Jungle” by Jamie N Commons & The X Ambassadors. The move is an effort by companies to try to capture the attention of one of the largest global audiences for any event. In the last World Cup four years ago, 3.2 billion people tuned in, according to FIFA. That’s compared with the 111.5 million people who tuned into the Super Bowl this year. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This year’s World Cup will play out on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and messaging apps like WhatsApp just as it progresses in stadiums from Sao Paulo to Rio De Janeiro. Nearly 40 per cent of Facebook’s 1.28 billion users are fans of soccer. On Tuesday, the world’s biggest online social network announced new features to help fans follow the World Cup — the world’s most widely viewed sporting event. Facebook users will be able to keep track of their favourite teams and players throughout the tournament in a special World Cup section, called “Trending World Cup.” Available on the web as well as mobile devices, the hub will include the latest scores, game highlights as well as a feed with tournament-related posts from friends, players and teams. The company is also launching a page called FacebookRef, where fans can see commentary about the matches from “The Ref,” Facebook’s official tournament commentator. Not to be outdone, Twitter touted in a blog post last week that fans can follow individual teams or players and use the hashtag #WorldCup to tweet about the matches, and follow official accounts such as @FIFAWorldCup and @ussoccer for the United States team, for example.

N.Y.C. settles with Occupy protesters Civil-rights lawsuit. City will pay $538,000 to 14 demonstrators who claim they were arrested in 2012 for ‘expressing their views’ New York City has agreed to pay nearly $600,000 US to settle allegations that police wrongfully arrested a group of Occupy Wall Street protesters, marking the largest settlement to date in an Occupy-related civil rights lawsuit, the marchers’ lawyers said Tuesday. The protests against economic inequality inspired similar protests around the U.S. and the world. The $583,000 US pact involves 14 demonstrators who said police ordered them to

leave but prevented them from doing so and arrested them in lower Manhattan early on New Year’s Day 2012. The disorderly conduct cases got dismissed, according to the protesters’ federal lawsuit, which argues they were arrested “for expressing their views.” “We were out there to send a message, and our rights were suppressed,” one of the demonstrators, Garrett O’Connor, said Tuesday. The 34-year-old labour activist said police tackled him to the ground as he tried to follow their order to clear out. The city didn’t immediately comment Tuesday, but it has said the arrests were lawful. A city lawyer had said at a court conference in November that the arrests followed “a very rowdy and tumultuous march,” according to a transcript. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Swedish Match wants snus marked as ‘modified risk’

A new, peaceful use for aerial drones sprouts up Aerial drones, a technology perhaps best known for helping hunt terrorists on the other side of the globe, may soon begin helping U.S. farmers monitor what’s happening in their fields. In Georgia, a group of state and federal officials — along with members of industry and academia — has been working since 2009 to develop a drone that can save a farmer’s time and resources

during the growing season. The public got its first glimpse of the group’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at a flight demonstration last month at a research farm in Moultrie, Ga. By deploying a UAV with a multi-spectral camera to survey crops, farmers could spot water and nutrition issues, insect infestations and fungal infections. “The UAV saves a tremen-

dous amount of time,” said Eric Corban, founder and chief technology officer for Guided Systems Technologies Inc., a Stockbridge, Ga., company that helped develop the software. “Traditionally you would walk the field, and you would only get a small portion of the field sample. The UAV can do it in a fraction of that time and cover the entire field.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Smokeless tobacco maker Swedish Match is asking the Food and Drug Administration to certify its General-branded pouches of tobacco as less harmful than cigarettes. The company with its North American headquarters in Richmond, Va., is filing an application with the FDA to approve the snus products as “modified risk.” Snus — teabag-like pouches that users stick between their cheek and gum to get their nicotine fix — are popular in Scandinavian countries and are part of a growing smokeless tobacco market in the U.S. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Hobbit author J.R.R. Tolkien described dragon Smaug as “a most specially greedy, strong and wicked worm.” The Flight of the Conchords have a song called Albi the Racist Dragon, and on Dragon Day at Cornell University, an effigy of one of the giant beasts is burned while students shout and dance. They can be fiery, fearsome creatures. “Noble dragons don’t have friends,” writes Terry Pratchett in Guards! Guards! “The nearest they can get to the idea is an enemy who is still alive.” It’s not hard to understand why the folks on Game of Thrones are wary of Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) brood of the beasts when she spouts off lines like, “When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who wronged me! We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground!” Then there’s Bryagh, the serpentine villain of The Flight

of Dragons who not only insults the movie’s heroes before dispatching them, he also gobbles up the eggs of other dragons! Maybe if characters in movies paid more heed to

the advice given by author Steven Brust — “Always speak politely to an enraged dragon” — then movies and TV wouldn’t have to offer up such a wide array of ways to rid the world of dragons.

Look on IMDb, there are dozens of titles containing the phrase “dragon slayer.” The 2010 animated hit How to Train Your Dragon begins in a remote Viking village where killing a dragon is “everything.” It focuses on Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), a kind- hearted boy who captures one of the flying behemoths and discovers two things: One, he can’t bring himself to kill it, and two, that dragons aren’t the fearful monsters everyone

thinks they are. He becomes a Dragon Whisperer and the movie shows the serpentine creatures in a different light than the abysmal brutes usually seen on screen. This weekend, How to Train Your Dragon 2 adds to the list of cinematic dragons who are more misunderstood than actually evil. The 1941 Disney flick The Reluctant Dragon features a dragon that would rather recite poetry than cause havoc. “You’ve got to be mad to breathe fire,” he says, “but I’m not mad at anybody.” In the live-action DragonHeart, a fire-breather must team with a dragon-slaying knight (Dennis Quaid) to end an evil king’s rule. When the giant serpent is accused of eating an adversary, he is indignant. “I merely chewed in selfdefense, but I never swallowed.” Eddie Murphy lent some comedic relief to the 1998 animated movie Mulan as the tiny, blue-horned Mushu. He may be the size of the Geico gecko, but don’t mention it. “I’m a dragon, not lizard. I don’t do that tongue thing.”

Jennifer Lopez

James Franco and Lindsay Lohan deserve each other, I think. Both of them seem addicted to the spotlight, and neither has any qualms about involving other people in their nonsense. Case in point: James Franco wrote a “short story” about Lohan for Vice’s fiction issue. It’s not just about Lohan — Franco fills the piece with anecdotes about his life in Hollywood, circa 2011. By calling it fiction, I’m sure he intends us to ask ourselves what’s real and what’s made up, which, to be fair, I totally am. The bulk of the piece is about Lindsay Lohan — I’m sorry, “Lindsay Lohan” — letting herself into “James Franco” the narrator’s Chateau Marmont bungalow to hit on him. He reads her stories instead of sleeping with her, until she falls asleep. That much Franco has relayed in interviews as fact. But what about the details we haven’t heard about before? Here are a few I’m curious about, despite knowing that my curiosity would please James Franco:

Ole! Ole! J.Lo! Diva decides to kick off World Cup, after all • Did Lindsay Lohan really pound on Franco’s door, yelling that he was a “bookworm punk blogger f—–?” • Did James Franco really turn in his sullen Oscar hosting performance because he wasn’t allowed to dress up as Cher and sing You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me? • Did Lindsay Lohan really spread false rumours that photographer Terry Richardson was shooting a sex book with Lohan and Franco? • Will Lindsay Lohan sue him? I don’t really approve of kissing and telling, but I have to admit that I’d get through a lot more New Yorker fiction if it was all like James Franco’s Lohan fanfic.

It turns out Jennifer Lopez will be helping kick off the World Cup after all, despite her reps telling CNN over the weekend that she wouldn’t perform as planned at the opening ceremony in Brazil. “The backlash was so significant that she decided she needed to attend,” a source tells the National Enquirer. So what caused her to pull out in the first place? Apparently it was all about the money. Lopez “was

in a back-and-forth with the World Cup about expenses. She had wanted them to cover everything for her, from private transportation to her hotel and the costs ... for her entire entourage,” the source says. “But in the end, the record label privately told J.Lo that she needed to perform this event. It’s the world stage. It would have been foolish for her not to exploit the World Cup for the publicity alone.”

The congregation lines up to enter Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, England. The Associated Press File

Canterbury has plenty of tales worth hearing Historical significance. After nearly 1,000 years, murder in the cathedral is still luring visitors to this English city It was in the Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 that Archbishop Thomas Becket was killed, viciously, by four knights who believed they were doing the bidding of King Henry II. As a result, Becket became a martyr and the cathedral a place of pilgrimage to his shrine. The homicide was the subject of Murder in the Cathedral, a verse drama by T.S. Eliot, and was more famously immortalized in Geoffrey Chaucer’s 14th century work, The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer’s saga, told in Middle English, focused on one such journey in what had become an annual spring pilgrimage. It is said that 100,000 pilgrims made their way to the cathedral in 1420, including, as the poem says in its last line, the sick (seeke) whom the shrine cured (hath holpen, or helped). Today, Canterbury Cathedral draws one million visitors a year. Chaucer’s pilgrims made the journey on horseback; today’s visitors are more likely to arrive by plane and car, train or bus from London or Dover. With its sites, shops, and restaurants, pubs and tea rooms concentrated largely in its Old Town area, Canterbury is a comfortable walking city. It is relatively small, with a popula-

tion of about 150,000. The Stour river runs through the city and at some points is navigable for small boats. Rowboats and punts (flatbottomed boats like gondolas) can be hired, generally with a local university student serving as oarsman and guide. Kent University and other schools contribute to a large local student population. But by far the biggest tourist attraction is Canterbury Cathedral, founded in the year 597 (there is an entrance fee for visitors). It is a marvellous edifice on spacious property that also houses some buildings of the King’s School, a renowned secondary school. The exterior of the cathedral, an impressive 72 metres high, reflects Romanesque, English Gothic and Gothic architectural styles, with round and pointed arches, blind arcades, and pinnacles of the 14th-century perpendicular Gothic nave. The Trinity Chapel was built specifically for the Shrine of St. Thomas, which stood from

1220 to 1538, when it was destroyed on orders of King Henry VIII. The floor of the current chapel has a set of inlaid marble roundels representing zodiac signs, months, virtues and vices. A lone candle marks the spot of the shrine. UNESCO World Heritage sites in Canterbury include the cathedral along with St. Augustine’s Abbey (mostly the ruins of the monastery where St. Augustine’s monks lived) and St. Martin’s Church, England’s oldest working parish church. Another popular tourist site is the Norman Canterbury Castle, or at least its remains. The castle was one of three original royal castles of Kent, built soon after the Battle of Hastings on the main Roman road from Dover to London. This was the route taken by William the Conqueror in 1066. The medieval St. Margaret’s Church now houses The Canterbury Tales, an audio-visual presentation of five tales (in modern English) from Chaucer’s most colourful characters. the associated press

Prepping for Pomp and Circumstance Convocation. Keep these key points in mind while putting on your cap and gown Elias Da Silva-Powell TalentEgg.ca

If you’re soon to attend your convocation, then the last time you were handed a scroll on stage was probably at the end of high school, which may seem like a lifetime ago. Though you’ve seen dozens of graduation ceremonies in TV shows and movies, it’s easy to get caught off-guard by the reality of convocation. As a double grad with a host of multiple-degree-holding friends, I’ve heard a lot about graduation and its various pitfalls. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a great day and an occasion to celebrate. But a little preparation can make a lot of difference. Here are key things you should keep in mind:

Put your best foot forward The only thing more risky than overdressing for your convocation is a bad footwear choice. Brand new shoes look great, but not when every step means the discovery of a new blister. Similarly, a height boost will only give you a confidence boost until you topple over.

High shoes, you lose

Heels should be no higher in inches than the number of years it took to complete your degree.

Tip: Unless you’re planning to ride a skateboard across the stage, leave your sneakers and running shoes at home. If you buy new shoes, break them in first. Heels should be no higher in inches than the number of years it took to complete your degree.

nowhere and discouraging school-of-hard-knocks type observations. Tip: Giving a speech at your ceremony? Don’t use the phrase, “It’s tough out there.” Everyone is tired of hearing that.

If it’s on, turn it off If your cellphone is on, turn it off. If it’s on silent, turn it off. If you’re “pretty sure” it’s off, turn it off. Tip: This isn’t funny. Even if the speeches are dull, your EDM ringtone isn’t going to solve anything. Get ready to see everyone The periods before and after the convocation ceremony can

Dress cool, dress smart. The robes are hot, and you’ll probably put them on at least an hour before you cross the stage. When you find yourself standing in an airless stairwell shoulder-to-shoulder with 140 other people, you’ll regret wearing more layers than were strictly necessary. flickr: loyolauniversitychicago

Strained silence. You’ll cross paths with an endless array of these people. You’ll even be able to hear their less-than-enthusiastic clapping from the stage, no matter how big the crowd. Tip: Nod, smile, shake hands — and keep moving. Find (and stay with) your close friends. Consider having a less-problematic personal life the next time around. Brace for speeches As someone who has both given and listened to some terrible speeches, I recognize that fine speech-making is much like fine watch-making — a delicate, precise balance of minute parts, all working towards a simple yet elegant goal. The speeches at your ceremony may be rise-toyour-feet-and-cheer good or Oh-wow-I’m-watching-sunbeams-cross-the-walls bad, but

in either case, you should be prepared for awkward jokes, personal anecdotes that go It isn’t over just yet

There are a lot of “lasts” involved in finishing school: last lecture, last assignment, last exam. • Chances are, none of these experiences felt like the end of a chapter in your life. That’s because they weren’t — and convocation is no exception. • Though convocation comes with a stage and applause, your life isn’t a play, with neatly ordered scenes and cues. You won’t get a sense of a finished chapter until you find yourself moving through the next one.

Significant moments can also be incredibly uncomfortable When you boil it down, the whole “big day” is a backdrop to your moment: the moment when you cross the stage, seize your scroll and stomp gloriously down the stairs, accompanied by roars and cheers. That’s a TV/movie thing, though. For the average student, there’s only enough crowd-enthusiasm to carry you partway across the stage. If your ceremony involves multiple steps (get the degree, get a handshake, walk to centre stage, get another handshake, etc.) you may find your big moment has a backdrop of quiet coughing and the rustling noise of hundreds of people sweating quietly. Tip: At many ceremonies, the audience is specifically asked not to applaud, in an effort to keep the event on-pace. Prime your family and friends to disregard this directive — everyone else will.

Dogs having their day in interview room Power to the puppy interviewer. A university in Scotland is using pooches to suss out the best candidates for a veterinary course Edward Thompson

Metro World News

A Scottish university is using dogs to sniff out the best candidates for a place on an oversubscribed veterinary course. Students who are applying to Edinburgh Napier University are judged on how they interact with the dog. Dr. Mary Fraser, who is a lecturer and owner of Belle (one of the pooches that vets potential candidates), finds that the dog relaxes nervous interviewees and provides an invaluable insight into their affinity with animals. Fraser tells Metro about the doggy detection interview process that is proving a hit with both students and lecturers.

We’re just looking to see potential candidates’ reactions to the dog. Most will rush over to cuddle and play with the puppy, whereas the odd one or two tend to stay seated.

I’m happy if they’re paying the dog more attention than me. It’s great when a student sits on the floor and gets covered in hair. To me that’s great. Although, it’s a difficult one because they’re often in their best dress, so I can imagine their parents aren’t

Ex-Thrashers coach named Oilers assistant

Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault speaks during a press conference at Madison Square Garden in New York, Tuesday. The Kings have a 3-0 lead over the Rangers in the Stanley Cup final. KATHY WILLENS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reeling Rangers feeling rotten in the Big Apple Stanley Cup final. Down 3-0, New York finding it hard to hang on after crippling losses Sleep was understandably hard to come by for the New York Rangers on Monday. They had just lost Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final to the Los Angeles Kings in demoralizing fashion, falling into a 3-0 series hole that feels nearly impossible to dig out of. By Tuesday morning it was clear there was more tossing and turning than

turning the page. “I’m not going to lie to you, it’s pretty much impossible to be upbeat,” alternate captain Brad Richards said. Upbeat would be just about the last word anyone could use to describe the Rangers, who will find themselves on the eve of potential elimination in Game 4 Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Despondent, defeated and devastated would be more like it. Coach Alain Vigneault knows there’s no sense hiding from those emotions. “We’re down 3-0. We’re all lacking sleep. This is tough,”

Short on luck?

Showing up hasn’t been the issue for the Rangers. They led Games 1 and 2 by multiple goals and outshot the Kings 32-15 in Game 3.

Vigneault said. There isn’t much for the Rangers to be cheery about. Not after two overtime defeats in Los Angeles and one back home that included allowing a goal with 0.7 seconds left in the first period and being unable to crack Jonathan Quick.

Reality seemed to set in by the third period of Game 3 as many fans who paid a premium price to attend the first cup final game at the Garden in 20 years had already left. Even as players talked on Tuesday about bad bounces and the luck the Kings have enjoyed, there’s not much solace in being a couple of fortunate turns from maybe even leading this series. “However we might want to look at this, we could be up by two games to one instead of being down by three, etc., it doesn’t matter,” Vigneault said.

The Edmonton Oilers have hired Craig Ramsay as an assistant coach. The 63-year-old has over 40 years of NHL experience since being drafted by the Buffalo Sabres as a forward in 1971. After spending his entire playing career in Buffalo, Ramsay moved behind the Sabres’ bench. He served as an assistant with the team during the 1986-87 season and took over as interim head coach late that year. He also spent time as Buffalo’s assistant general manager and director of player personnel prior to his departure in 1993. The Weston, Ont., native served as head coach of the Atlanta Thrashers in 2010-11. The team also announced that after spending the past six seasons behind the Oilers bench as an assistant coach, former Oilers captain Kelly Buchberger will transition into a new role in player personnel.

Young forward makes first six shots in first-half flurry to give team series lead Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs shot their way into history — and back into the lead in the NBA Finals. Leonard scored a careerhigh 29 points, and the Spurs made a finals-record 75.8 per cent of their shots in the first half in a 111-92 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night that gave them a 2-1 series lead. The Spurs made 19 of their first 21 shots and finished 25 of 33 in the first half, bettering the 75 per cent shooting by Orlando against the Lakers in the 2009 finals. They led by as much as 25 and were only briefly challenged in their second lopsided victory in the series.

Unlike Game 1, when they didn’t pull away until the final minutes, the Spurs were way ahead before halftime in this one. Leonard scored only 18 points in the first two games, looking frustrated while getting into foul trouble trying to defend LeBron James in Game 2. But he had his outside shot working early, and the effect on the Spurs’ offence was obvious. James and Dwyane Wade had 22 points each for the Heat, who host Game 4 on Thursday. The associated press

Brazil can’t help but feel pressure to win World Cup

The Brazilian national soccer team practises on Tuesday in Teresopolis, Brazil. Buda Mendes/Getty Images

It’s almost time. The day Brazilians have been anxiously waiting for is finally arriving. Brazil plays Croatia on Thursday to get the home World Cup underway, beginning its quest for a sixth world title almost seven years after the nation was picked as host. After so much talk about delays, protests and problems, fans at last are getting a chance to cheer for the national team on home soil in football’s showcase tournament. If Brazil wins the opening

game, the fact that the stadium in Sao Paulo isn’t even fully finished yet will quickly be forgotten. A loss, quite simply, is unthinkable for a nation whose identity is so closely linked to its football team. Brazil hasn’t hosted the World Cup since 1950, when it endured a heartbreaking loss to Uruguay in the final. This time, everybody knows that only the title will be enough to please the home crowd. “We are all eager to get started, we are just counting

the days,” Brazil midfielder Ramires said Tuesday. “We know that the fans have confidence in our team and they are behind us. We have to do everything possible to try to win this World Cup. We know everybody is expecting us to do it.” Brazilians had been slow to get into the World Cup mood, but now streets are being painted with the green and yellow colours and local flags are being displayed on windows of homes across the country. The Associated Press

Hosts on a roll

Brazil begins the tournament having won 15 of its last 16 matches, the only loss a 1-0 result at Switzerland. • Brazil will start the World Cup with the same lineup that won the Confederations Cup, with 22-yearold Barcelona striker Neymar leading the team.

• Engines (hp). Electric motor with lithium-ion battery; optional 650cc range-extending gasoline engine

The i3 should resonate with those who want an emissions-free, city-sized car, but prefer a premium brand. Those with SUVs may find it a viable second car for errands and commutes, too.

• Base price (incl. destination). $44,950

• The cabin contains environmentally friendly materials such as bamboo, naturally tanned leather, and a dash made from plants. • The navigation system can show the car’s range, including how traffic, hills or temperature will affect it, as well as nearby public charging stations. • The i3’s manufacturing process uses 50 per cent less

Mention BMW, and most people think of sports cars or luxury cruisers. But the company’s newest model is something completely different: a funky little electric city car with the potential to change the way many people get from A to B. It’s called the i3, with the “i” standing for innovation. Small on the outside, but extremely roomy on the inside, it was designed from the ground up to be an electric car, rather than a conversion from a gasoline model. It’s on sale now, but will only be available from specific dealers in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver initially. Its unusual design consists of two modules: an aluminum frame that contains both the electric motor and lithiumion battery, and a passenger compartment formed from

This zippy car’s no compromise

2 carbon fibre. These are costly materials, but their light weight allows BMW to use a smaller, less-expensive battery to power the car. The i3 has a range of approximately 160 kilometres on a charge, which takes about three hours on 240-volt current. BMW says that most Canadians only drive an average of 47 km per day, but for those who fear being stranded, an optional two-cylinder gasoline engine can be added.

When the battery runs down, the gas engine acts solely as a generator to make more electricity. Driving the i3 is a blast. This is no golf cart: Acceleration is snappy, and it’s capable of reaching 150 km/h. It captures energy when decelerating, feeding it back into the battery as electricity. This regenerative braking slows the car quickly, and once you get the hang of it, you’ll hardly touch the brakes in city traffic.

The steering is wellweighted, with fairly sporty handling. Even though it’s a featherweight, it feels substantial, and the comfortable seats have a premium feel. You’re treading lightly on the environment, but it never feels like a compromise. Electric vehicles are still a small sliver of the market, and probably will be for a while, but models like the i3 are a considerable step closer to making batteries the fuel of the future.

Italy’s iconic Alfa Romeo rolls back into the North American limelight

Quantum of Solace features a pair of black Alfa 159s with gun-toting henchman. contributed

The lightweight 4C is built on a carbon-fibre monocoque and can accelerate 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds — and will leave sports car nuts quivering. contributed

drive@metronews.ca

Alfa Romeo is making its return to the North American market after saying “Ciao” nearly two decades ago. This summer, the rearwheel-drive, mid-engine 2015 4C Coupe, unveiled at the New York auto show, leads the comeback charge. In the coming weeks, parent Fiat is expected to announce a timeline on when a slew of other Alfa models will join the fray.

Dustin Hoffman’s character drives a red Spider Duetto in The Graduate. contributed

While we await Alfamania to take hold on these shores again, let’s turn back the clock and examine the Italian icon’s pop culture ascendency. Alfa Romeo made a giant splash in The Graduate when Dustin Hoffman’s red Spider Duetto runs out of gas a few blocks from

the church, forcing him to ditch the sweet ride and sprint the last few blocks. He arrives in the nick of time, just as the bride and groom are about to kiss, and yells out “Elaine!” The scene sustained Alfa’s appeal for a generation; there was even an Alfa Graduate edition that came

out in the 1980s. The first series of Duettos was nicknamed Osso di Seppia, Italian for cuttlefish bone, after its elegantly rounded and tapered tail end. Battista “Pinin” Farina, the famed Ferrari designer, conceived the alluring esthetic and would pass away just a short while after the Duetto debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in 1966. Of course, Alfa’s appeal goes beyond petrolheads, public-access TV hosts, and its service as cougar-bait. Robbie, the Kellerman’s waiter and dancer impregnator who serves as the bad guy in 1987’s Dirty Dancing, quips in the movie that he’s saving up his hard-earned tips to buy one of Alfa’s sleek convertibles. Further cementing Alfa’s bad-boy cred, in the opening sequence of Quantum

of Solace, the sophomore Daniel Craig Bond flick, a pair of black Alfa 159s with machine gun-toting henchmen give James’ Aston Martin DBS V12 chase around Schwing!

In one of Wayne’s World 2’s countless “Schwing!” moments, Mike Myers’ Wayne hops into an Alfa Romeo Duetto en route to stop Cassandra’s wedding. Simon & Garfunkel’s Mrs. Robinson plays on the radio and the fuel gage reads “E,” spoofing Alfa’s Graduate scene.

a tight and twisting mountain stretch on the Eastern shores of Italy’s Lake Garda. While 007 could probably still elude a fleet of the new 4Cs, the lightweight stunner will nonetheless leave sports car nuts quivering. Built on a carbon-fibre monocoque (in which the chassis is integrated with the car body), and powered by an all-aluminum 1750 cc turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, it can accelerate 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds. Hardcore Alfisti will want to get in line now to score one of the 500, limited-run, Launch Edition models. They come stocked with a flurry of special features — from a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and mirror caps to red-lacquered brake calipers. It will be available in June ahead of the regular 4C release.

This new GM innovation could save your life This is from the “why-didn’t- someone-think-of-this-sooner” department. In a side impact, the far-side occupant has nothing holding his or her upper body in the seat. The result is that they could impact the person sitting beside them on the near side of the impact. According to General Motors, this causes a significant number of deaths, and thus, the front-centre airbag was born. It took three years to develop (in conjunction with GM technology supplier Takata) and is now either standard or available in a number of Buick, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles.

No centre airbag: GM says passenger’s upper body slips out of the seatbelt. Head, upper body collide with driver. With centre airbag: Cushion between driver and passenger.

No centre airbag: GM says driver’s upper body slips out of belt, contorting. Head contact with passenger is almost certain. With centre airbag: Provides both cushion and restraint, holding driver in the seat.

While most airbags are backstopped by a structure/hard surface, the centre airbag is just floating out there in space. Located in the driver’s side seat, it has to be tethered to provide lateral crash support.

According to GM, engineer Scott Thomas is credited with more than 30 patents for safety designs, mostly airbags. The centre airbag is not required by law.

Give your brake system a tune-up Road trip safety. Regular checkups and maintenance are key to ensuring that you don’t become a danger to yourself or fellow drivers You don’t need an automotive expert to tell you why your vehicle’s brakes are probably its most important safety system — or why they should be maintained regularly and not taken for granted. Ahead of the warm-weather travel season, an inspection of your vehicle’s brakes is a fantastic idea — especially if you’ll be travelling in a vehicle heavily loaded with passengers and gear. Operating a vehicle with poorly maintained brakes is a danger to you, your family and your fellow motorists. Plus, in many newer vehicles, healthy brakes are vital to proper operation of other safety systems like stability

control, traction control, and trailer sway control. Remember: brakes often give off numerous warning signs that they’d like some attention when there’s a problem, and a mechanic can inspect and assess your vehicle’s braking system quickly, adding confidence ahead of a road trip. If you’re heading in for a pre-summer oil change or tune-up, be sure to have the mechanic give your ride’s brakes a look-over. Like most other systems in your vehicle, brakes use fluid and components and consumable parts that should be inspected, serviced and replaced from time to time. Pads and rotors provide the all-important friction required to slow or stop your ride. When the friction-generating pads are nearly worn out, a small metal tab attached to each one contacts the surface of that brake rotor to create an annoying, high-pitched

squeal. That’s your cue to call the garage and book a brake job as soon as possible. Ignoring the squeal is a bad idea which can result in dangerously low levels of stopping power, along with brake rotor damage. Brake fluid, which transfers pedal pressure to those pads and rotors via brake

lines attached to calipers at each wheel, should be inspected for level and quality on a regular basis — just like the fluid in your transmission or engine. As brake fluid ages, it collects contaminants and wears out, reducing the life and effectiveness of other brake system components and even accelerating the

rusting of your brake lines. Ask your mechanic to assess the condition of your brake fluid and brake lines, and ask whether they’d recommend a brake fluid flush. This procedure is fairly simple and ensures that new, topquality fluid is being utilized by your system. As it is with other automotive systems,

fresh fluid is key to long-term system durability. A final note: Your braking system is only as good as the tires that transfer its stopping power to the road, so be sure to have a tire inspection — including pressure check and adjustment — completed as part of your pre-summer brake system maintenance.

Brake components can collect rust and dirt. Contributed Due for a cleaning

Ask if removal and “cleaning up” of your brakes is warranted. • As time passes, rust and dirt accumulate within various brake system parts, negatively affecting lubrication and functionality of the specially lubricated ‘pins’ which

allow the calipers to slide into and away from the rotors. • Proper brake system lubrication maintains stopping power, improves brake caliper life and can even reduce fuel consumption — making the job a worthwhile investment.

New-car financing scores points in ongoing used-versus-new debate Factors to consider. The fairly recent arrival of new-car incentives like cut-rate interest rates is shifting the balance of power Auto pilot

In the greater world, the eternal debate tends to be about Star Wars or Star Trek, boxers or briefs, or should Justin Bieber take a break from his celebrity-induced shenanigans or ... should Justin Bieber take a longer break from his celebrity-induced shenanigans. In the vehicular world, the eternal debate tends to be, “Should I buy a used vehicle, or a new vehicle?”

I’ve always been more a “used” guy, because I don’t like paying interest and older vehicles speak to me, though not always politely. New or used is an eternal debate because obviously there is no right or wrong answer. It depends on circumstance and personal preference. The buying service Unhaggle.com recently developed a checklist to help customers go through the decision-making process (available on its website), because it felt many customers don’t consider all the variables that should go into making an informed decision. Also, the fairly recent arrival of new-car incentives, in the form of either cut-rate finance interest rates or cash incentives to lower the selling price, has shaken things up a bit. “Car buyers often don’t realize they can afford a new

vehicle that fits within their budget,” notes Radek Garbowski, COO and co-founder of Unhaggle.com. In addition to manufacturer and dealer price reductions, new-car customers have access to lower finance rates. According to Unhaggle.com, the average three-year rate is 3.4 per cent, which is lower than most customers can get for used car loans, and lots of companies often jump in at various times with “zero per cent” deals. These incentives are funded by the marketing departments of the respective car companies, and are off-limits to used-car buyers. But always remember that zero interest is not actually zero. Taking the zero interest rate option often means not taking the cash discount option. The amount of that cash discount is essentially your interest charge. Another factor shifting fa-

vour to the new vehicle purchase is the big jump that has occurred in the last few years in fuel economy, safety, and connectivity. For example, Unhaggle.com notes that a 2008 Toyota Corolla is rated at 8.11 L/100 km, while the 2014 version is rated at 7.58 L/100 km. But technology has also helped the used-car cause. A well-maintained modern vehicle can rack up an incredible number of kilometres before it’s ready to be scrapped. So while the balance of power may have shifted slightly, the debate rages on.

Horoscopes

Libra

Aries

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Don’t pay much attention to material things today. What matters is not how much you earn but how happy you are on the inside. Bank accounts are one thing — spiritual accounts quite another.

Taurus

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 You may want to tear everything down and start again from scratch but is that necessary? You may regret it in the long-term if you destroy what you have created.

April 21 - May 21 You seem to have retreated into your shell and in doing so have lost contact with a number of people. Make it a priority today to look them up and let them know you still exist — and care.

Gemini

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Even a Sagittarius gets it wrong now and again so don’t take it to heart if you have made some kind of mistake. And don’t try to cover it up either. You are always bold in your successes, so be bold in your failures too.

May 22 - June 21 You could make an issue of something that annoys you but is it worth the effort? There are so many things going right that you can afford to let minor annoyances pass you by.

Cancer

Capricorn

June 22 - July 23 Something that once seemed beyond you is within reach and you can easily make it your own over the next 24 hours. Once you’ve got it, don’t hold it too tightly. Too much possessiveness is rarely a good thing.

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 If you live in dread of things that might never happen you will almost certainly miss out on something that would have made life a lot more exciting and a lot more rewarding.

Leo

Aquarius

July 24 - Aug. 23 Much as you’d like to help a loved one today if they signal that they want you to keep your distance, respect that. You’ll make matters worse if you interfere where you’re not invited.

Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Push yourself forward today and let people in positions of power know who you are and what you can do. Most likely they know already but it won’t hurt to remind them. Be keen.
