Cyclist killed after hitting carPolice still investigating, no word on charges Rush hour traffic was moving slowly, witness says

A female cyclist died on QueenStreet yesterday morning after anopening car door struck her andshe fell into the path of anothervehicle, witnesses say.

“It was horrific,” said MikeMurphy, who said he was drivingto work directly behind the Volk-swagen Passat that struck thewoman.

Murphy said the woman wastrapped beneath the car and heand a handful of other bystandersstopped immediately, shouted atthe driver to stop and lifted thecar off the woman.

Despite their efforts,paramedics arriving on scenesoon after were unable to revivethe woman, who was in her 30s.Paramedics said she waspronounced dead upon arrival athospital.

The car the bystanders liftedwas weighs about 1,430kilograms when it is empty,according to company specs.

Murphy and anotherbystander, Mario Arvizu, said thecyclist had almost passed aparked Volkswagen GTI when itsdoor opened.

“I’m a tourist,” said Arvizu,who is visiting Ottawa from Mexi-co with his girlfriend.

“It’s really, really traumatic. I

never saw something like that.We were all trying to help thelady because it was somethinghorrible.”

Murphy said he wasn’t sure if

it would have been possible foreither the driver opening thedoor or the driver who ultimatelystruck the cyclist to have avoidedthe accident.

“Another 30 seconds and Icould have been driving the carthat hit her,” Murphy said, clearlyshaken.

For five years, Natashaand Ryan Derouchie havebeen trying to have a ba-by, and now they — andfour other couples — aredays away from treat-ments that could makethat dream come true.

The Derouchies wereone of five finalist coupleswho entered the Win a Ba-by contest on local radiostation Hot 89.9. Much totheir surprise yesterdaymorning, co-host JeffMauler announced that alltop five couples had wonup to three fertility treat-ments rather than justone couple.

“There was lots of cry-ing. We pretty muchsobbed and just (held)each other. My phone wasgoing crazy,” saidNatasha, 30. “Every cou-ple was doing the samething. We’re still trying toabsorb it because it’s real-ly a dream come true.”

Natasha and Ryan bothhave fertility problems,and doctors told them theonly way they could con-ceive was through in vitrofertilization (IVF). Thehigh cost of the proce-dures held them back, butnow they’ve won up tothree fertility treatmentsvalued at $35,000.

The contest didn’t sitwell with everyone,though. Several listenersblasted the radio stationfor putting human life up

for grabs in a contest. Natasha countered that

Hot 89.9 was trying toraise awareness about in-fertility. One in six cou-ples in Ontario struggle

with infertility, accordingto Conceivable -Dreams.org.

Natasha said she wantsto keep the public conver-sation going because so

many people are affected. “If people want some-

thing done, then theyneed to tell the govern-ment they want OHIP tofund IVF.”

Ottawa cyclists reactedwith sadness yesterday af-ter learning about a fatalcollision between a 30-year-old female cyclistand a car during rushhour yesterday morningon Queen Street.

Witnesses said thewoman was “doored” andthen fell into the path ofanother vehicle.

“It’s unfortunate thatthis happened to thislady,” said Robert Dennis,an avid cyclist of morethan 60 years. Dennis saidhe didn’t think theincident would deter peo-ple from cycling to work,but he said cyclists needto be especially careful.

“I always look ahead tosee if there’s anybody inthe car,” he said. “Ifthere’s somebody in thatcar, I’m going to be verycautious and either slowdown, or if I’m clear I cango around it wide enoughso that the door canopen,” he said.

Bike courier HenrySummerfield recom -mends cyclists take upmore space on the roadeven if it upsets motorists.

“I just stay out farenough if I feel the need,”he said. “The best thing isthat motorists or passen-gers on either side of thecar, whenever you get out,just make a habit of look-ing over your shoulderand checking.”

Unlike Dennis,Summerfield said hebelieves the incident willkeep some people fromcycling.

Ottawa’s planning com-mittee approved a zoningamendment yesterday fora new apartment buildingat Greenbank Road andCraig Henry Drive — acompromise with the de-veloper that councillorsdefended as the only wayto stave off a fight at theOntario Municipal Board.

The developer, DCRPhoenix, originally pro-posed a six-storey, 72-unitbuilding, but agreed laterto a 61-unit structure con-sisting of two sections, oneof them five-storeys highand the other threestoreys. The revised planwas submitted after thecity spent $15,000 for anarchitectural peer review

that proposed a smallerbuilding.

Some local residents op-pose the plan.

“This will set a prece-dent for height and densitydown the road, and it’s in aschool zone,” said JamesO’Grady, vice-president ofthe Trend-Arlington Com-munity Association.

O’Grady said his groupis concerned about the im-pact of traffic around theschools on GreenbankRoad and the sightlines ofthe surrounding houses.

Most of the communitymembers who spoke at theplanning-committee meet-ing said they wanted all ofthe changes suggested inthe peer review to be im-plemented, which wouldsee a development withfewer apartments, a small-er footprint and a more at-

tractive sloped-roof style.But Coun. Rick Chiarelli

said that if the city deniesthe developer’s zoning ap-plication, the companycould complain to theOMB and would probablywin — and even see itsoriginal plan approved —because DCR Phoenixdemonstrated a willing-ness to compromise andthe building is in keepingwith the city’s officialplan.

“Are you prepared for usto vote no and live withthe consequences of theOntario Municipal Board?”he asked O’Grady.

O’Grady replied thathis group would launchits own OMB challenge,but later said that wouldbe a last resort, after seek-ing more changes fromthe developer.

Chiarelli and the othercouncillors said they aresatisfied with the compro-mise. That includes KeithEgli, the ward councillor,who has worked for

months on the plan withresidents and the develop-er.

“I hope that the spirit ofco-operation that has beenbuilt up through this

process continues on andwe continue to meet andnegotiate the site plan andaddress the concerns thatare out there in the com-munity,” Egli said.

Kevin O’Leary doesn’t liketo waste time and writinghis book, Cold Hard Truth:On Business, Money & Lifetook him a lot longer thanhe expected.

“I have a new respectfor authors. It’s the hard-est job in the world. If aman could give birth itwould be to a book,” saysthe entrepreneur and CBCDragon’s Den star. He sayshe figured it would takehim 90 days. It took him ayear and a half. “I wouldsit down every night at 11p.m. with a bottle of bur-gundy and figure I’d writea chapter.”

He’d go to bed pleasedwith what he’d written,but in the morning he’d

take a look at the chapter.“It was crap. I couldn’t

believe how crap it was,”he says. But he kept at it,rewriting revising, making

it better.But he doesn’t consider

his book a waste of time atall. He learned somethingand hopes others will too.

“It was catharsis,” hesays of the process thatforced him to delve deepinto his memories, hischildhood, his parents’ di-vorce, his dyslexia andmost importantly into hisbusiness failures.

“I was far more interest-ed in why I failed,” he says,adding that understandingsuccesses is easier anddoesn’t teach as much.“What I found was is inevery case where I mademoney it involved a part-nership and in every casewhere I lost money it wassomething I tried to do onmy own.”

Everyone has weakness-es and the way to over-come them he says is topartner with people whocan offset your weaknesses— a lesson he says worksin all aspects of life, notjust business.

Did the law let downPickton’s victims?The inquiry into howRobert Pickton was al-lowed to kill so manywomen without gettingcaught opened yesterdaywith a demonstration —and a question.

Commissioner WallyOppal asked: Are marginal-ized women — includingthose targeted by the serialkiller — truly equal?

“We must ask ourselves,‘Is this acceptable, is it ac-ceptable that we allowedour most vulnerable to dis-appear, to be murdered.’

“The question is upset-ting. It challenges our fun-damental values.”

But the question is es-sential to understandingthe crisis of missing andmurdered women, Oppalsaid in Vancouver.

“Individually, the loss ofeach woman is heartbreak-ing. Taken together, themurder and disappearanceof so many women is hor-rific,” Oppal said.

Meanwhile, dozens ofdemonstrators banged onaboriginal drums and

blocked traffic to protestthe provincial govern-ment’s decision to deny le-gal funding to severalgroups who asked to be in-volved in the inquiry.

The Assembly of FirstNations announced it will“regrettably” withdraw

from the inquiry.The assembly’s national

chief, Shawn Atleo, saidhis group no longer is con-fident the inquiry willbring justice for the fami-lies of missing and mur-dered women in Canada.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Former prime minister Yu-lia Tymoshenko, a popularopposition leader who oncesymbolized Western hopesfor a democratic Ukraine,was convicted of abuse ofoffice yesterday in a verdictcondemned by the U.S. andEuropean Union as politi-cally motivated.

The charismatic politi-cian denounced the courteven before the judge fin-ished speaking. She com-pared it to the 1930s purgesand show trials of Sovietdictator Josef Stalin andpromised Ukrainians: “Iwill always be with you.”

Tymoshenko’s convic-tion bodes ill for Ukraine’saspirations to shake offRussian influence, integratemore closely into the West,

and eventually join the 27-nation European bloc.

The verdict capped achaotic trial that started inlate June and saw scufflesbetween Tymoshenko’s

supporters and opponentsin court.

The court found Ty-moshenko, 50, guilty ofabuse of office in the sign-ing of a natural gas importcontract with Russia in2009, saying she lacked anofficial authorization forthe deal and had agreed to aprice that was too high forUkraine’s economy.

But, Tymoshenko main-tained her innocence, say-ing that as prime ministershe did not need any specialpermission to order thesigning of the deal. She saysher actions helped end abitter pricing dispute be-tween Moscow and Kyiv,which had led to energysupply shortages across Eu-rope. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If you paid fees to the Economic Stream of the Nova Scotia

Nominee Program, you might be able to get some money back from the Province of Nova Scotia. Read this to find out more.

What is this about?A lawsuit was started against the Province of Nova Scotia in 2009.

The goal was to get a refund for people who applied for and paid

fees into the former Economic Stream of the Nova Scotia

Nominee Program. The Supreme Court of Nova Scotia has now

certified that lawsuit as a class action. Your legal rights may be

affected. The lawyers for both sides have made a deal that would

give a refund to eligible people. The Supreme Court of Nova

Scotia approved the settlement as fair and reasonable.

Am I included?You are if you (1) paid money to Nova Scotia under the

Economic Stream of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program,

(2) landed and obtained permanent resident status in Canada, and

(3) did not already get a refund. As long as you told the truth in

your application and immigration filings, you should be eligible

for a refund.

What does this mean for me?If you are a Class Member, your legal rights are affected. You will

benefit from any settlement, but you must give up your right to

sue the Government of Nova Scotia on your own.

How much will I get?If you were not paid anything under a business mentorship, you

will get $63,750 back if your claim is approved ($75,000 less an

approved 15% fee of $11,250). If you were paid under a business

mentorship, the amount you were paid will be deducted from

$75,000. The 15% fee will be taken from the net amount.

Do I have to pay anything out of my own pocket?No. The lawyers' fees have already been accounted for in the

amount set out above. You will not be billed. The Supreme Court

approved the lawyers’ fee as fair and reasonable

How do I get my money?You have to fill in a Claim Form. A copy of the Claim Form

can be found at http://www.branchmacmaster.com/nova-scotia-immigration/. You must mail, fax, or email in the form by

May 4, 2012.

What if I do not want to take part?If you do not want to take part, you have to opt out. If you

opt out, you will not get any benefit from the settlement.

You will have to sue the Government of Nova Scotia on

your own if you wish to recover anything. To opt out, go to

http://www.branchmacmaster.com/nova-scotia-immigration/, download

the opt out form, and submit it to the address listed. If you want

to opt out, you must do so before Jan. 5 2012.

What if too many people opt out?If more than 50 people opt out, the Province has the right to

cancel the settlement. Neither the Province nor the lawyer for the

class expect this to occur however.

I have other questions.For more information, visit http://www.branchmacmaster.com/nova-scotia-immigration/. If you still have questions, just contact the

lawyer appointed by the court to act for the class, Greg McMullen

at Branch MacMaster LLP, at [email protected] or

The federal government ismoving to prevent a strikeThursday by Air Canadaflight attendants by send-ing the matter to the Cana-da Industrial RelationsBoard for review.

Labour Minister LisaRaitt told CTV News that areference will be sent to theboard today asking it to ex-amine the difficulties inwinning ratification of twotentative agreementsreached by company andunion negotiators.

“While the matter is be-

fore the CIRB, there cannotbe a work stoppage,” Raittsaid from Vancouver.

The latest twist in AirCanada’s troubled contractnegotiations comes aftermembers of the union re-jected the latest agreement,which was supported byleaders of the CanadianUnion of Public Employees.

“Our members are clear-ly frustrated, and are de-manding their sacrificesover the past 10 years be ad-dressed,” said Jeff Taylor,president of the Air Canada

Component of the Canadi-an Union of Public Employ-ees.

The tentative deal wasreached Sept. 20 with thehelp of a federal mediatorappointed by Raitt and thethreat of back-to-work legis-lation.

The reference buys thegovernment time to passback to work legislationonce the House of Com-mons resumes Monday. AirCanada would operate apartial schedule if a strikeoccurred. THE CANADIAN PRESS

RE: Jessica Napier’scolumn published Oct.11, What’s in a maidenname?

Although I think the arti-cle was well written andthought provoking, I wassurprised that, for awoman who writes froman informed andfeminist perspective, sheused references such as“Mr. and Mrs. His Firstand Last Name” and “Tak-ing your husband’sname.” The article waswritten with genderassumptions and from aheterosexist perspectivewhich made a good arti-cle disappointing in theend.CHARLENE CREWS, TORONTO

Who nose?Simply blowing your nose couldnow produce energy-making resultsas scientists have discovered a wayof converting human breathing intoelectricity.

Professor Xudong Wang and histeam have made a tiny device thatgenerates a small amount ofelectricity when a low-speed airflowsuch as human respiration passesover it.

The engineers at the University ofWisconsin-Madison used a specialplastic named polyvinylidene fluo-ride that can produce an electrical

charge in response to a mechanicalstress, a phenomenon known as the‘piezoelectric effect.’ This plasticwas small enough to be put inside ahuman nose.

“We calculated that if we couldmake this material thin enough,small vibrations could produce a mi-crowatt of electrical energy thatcould be useful for sensors or otherdevices implanted in the face,”Wang says. The engineer added thatairflow from a human breath travelsat less than two metres per second.

One microwatt of energy maysound minuscule but it is enough topower biomedical devices such aheart pacemaker or a diabetic’s glu-cose monitor.

WHAT WILLGERMINATE INYOUR CAPSULE?

I’m not sure what bacteriolo-gist Edward Durham wasthinking back in 1897 whenhe put a vial of intestinal bac-teria in a time capsule, butwhatever it was, he should

have thought it over.Not only do we have to worry about

new diseases from birds and barnyard an-imals, now they’re coming at us from 114years in the past.

Time capsules are designed to beopened in the future, and the future

arrived last week when a building at Bellevue Hospitalin New York was demolished, exposing a time capsuleincluding the scientist’s little gift and a note asking fu-ture generations to “let us know how long these sporeslast.”

Well, Ed, we’ll get back to you. I might add we’relucky they weren’t active and belong to a type of bacte-ria that has been successfully treated by antibiotics, a

post-1897 invention.Which leads you to won-

der: what else is out thereburied in a box from thepast that could have inter-esting consequences ifopened before Christmas?

Here’s just a partial listfrom time capsules buriedin various cornerstonesaround the world: silk con-doms, false teeth, bikinibottoms, Life magazine, akewpie doll, various grainseeds, messages fromAlbert Einstein, and even acar. Not toxic, per se, but

what are they supposed to make of all that junk in theyear 7000 AD?

Still, we continue to bury our civilization’s flotsamand jetsam in structures that don’t last 50 years, nevermind 5,000. Or we shoot them into space, needles in acosmic haystack. We do it because we hope thatsomeone will be there and if they are, they need to get itright, dammit.

It’s a way of bestowing immortality upon ourselves.And certainly, the only way any of these Just Sayin’columns will ever survive is to slip them in a timecapsule between the bikinis and false teeth.

LOL if you must, but what goes into your timecapsule? Downloads of Two and A Half Men? DNA fromyour dog? An Ikea catalogue? The iPod or the iPad?Both?

Let’s say this stuff actually survives 5,000 years and isdug up. Will our descendants be able to decode our littleblasts from the past? The origin and meaning of an 8-track could be as obscure as a cave painting.

Anthropologists, when they don’t have a clue, alwaysplay the religious ritual card.

So in 7011, when they open up the Charlie Sheen Vio-lent Torpedo of Truth Tour Video, it’s possible a new reli-gion will be born.

That’s if God still has a sense of humour at that point.

Hollywood horror

Hollywood is so into recy-cling you’d think Al Gorewas running a studio andgreen lighting movies.This year alone we’ve seenreimaginings, reboots andredos galore, from StrawDogs and Footloose to Co-nan the Barbarian and TheMechanic.

It seems Tinseltownnever met an idea it could-n’t endlessly recycle.

This is particularly truein the horror genre. In thelast 12 months, Colin Far-rell clipped on Chris

Sarandon’s used fangs in aremake of Fright Night,and this weekend, TheThing is, according toIMDB, “a prequel to a re-make of an adaptation ofthe novella Who GoesThere?” Whatever it is,original it’s not.

Not that all originalhorror films are betterthan their remakes. DavidCronenberg’s dark visionenhanced the story of TheFly, delivering the realscares that the campy 1958 version lacked, and1978’s Invasion of theBody Snatchers is farcreepier than its cinematic

predecessor. The Blob, the tale of

what happens when germwarfare goes awry, hasbeen made a couple oftimes.

The original is an unin-tentionally funny flickwith more giggles thangore, but it inspired a se-quel, a remake and, if therumours are true, a bloodyrevamp by horror maestroRob Zombie.

I have a soft spot for thelow-budget charm of the1958 version, although the1988 reboot has a smarter-than-it-needs-to-be scriptco-written by Frank

Darabont and a cooltagline — “Scream now!while you can stillbreathe!”

Count Dracula is one ofthe most portrayed char-acters on the big screen,having appeared in morehorror films than any oth-er famous monster of film-land. Eighty years after hefirst portrayed the vam-pire in the 1931 film Drac-ula, Bela Lugosi is still themost famous blood suckerof them all, although formy money, two British ac-tors — Gary Oldham inBram Stoker’s Dracula andChristopher Lee in Horror

of Dracula — are tip-topTransylvanians.

Unlike his work inScream, Wes Craven’s ear-ly films didn’t have any ofthe self-depreciating hu-mour to go along with thescares.

His first movies werebrutal, bloody and grim,usually all at once. Recentremakes of The Last Houseon the Left — rated R for“sadistic violence” — andThe Hills Have Eyes —“The lucky ones diefirst!”— don’t have quitethe impact of the Vietnamera originals, but still re-quire a strong stomach.

Rihanna says she resentedChris Brown for a time,but has put that behindher and is happy that herformer boyfriend hasfound success in musicagain.

Rihanna tells Esquiremagazine that dislikingBrown “was taking up toomuch of my time” andthat she has moved onfrom that.

“It was too muchanger,” the 23-year-oldsaid.

“I’m really excited tosee the breakthrough he’shad in his career.”

Brown, 21, is servingfive years of probation af-ter pleading guilty tofelony assault for the at-tack on Rihanna in theearly morning hours be-

fore the 2009 Grammys. Graffiti, the album he

released 10 months afterthe attack, was a commer-cial disappointment.

But his latest release,F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All MyEnemies), debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 al-bums chart in March; itreached gold status andhas multiple pop and R&Bhits with songs like Lookat Me Now and Deuces,among other tracks.

“It’s incredible to seehow he pulled out theway he did. Even whenthe world seemed like itwas against him, youknow?” Rihanna said.

“I really like the musiche’s putting out. I’m a fanof his stuff. I’ve alwaysbeen a fan.”

Rihanna has done wellmusically, too: Her al-bums following the attack— Rated R and Loud —have both gone platinum,and she’s releasing a newalbum, Talk That Talk,next month.

Her latest single, WeFound Love, is her 20thsong to hit the Top 10 onthe Billboard Hot 100 sin-gles chart since she de-buted in 2005.

Overall, she says shewants to see Brown dowell.

“I would never wishanything horrible forhim. Never. I never have,”she said.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

But bringing Jess to lifetook the work of twoquirky kindred spirits,New Girl star Zooey De-schanel and series creatorLiz Meriwether.

The women could besisters.

At a press event beforethe series’ premiere, thepair both dress in a so-

phisticated, cool, “Oh, Ijust found this at the vin-tage shop” style, exchang-ing rapid-firecompliments that makethe other equally excitedand adorably embar-

rassed.“Liz and I are, like, con-

Meet the women behind the hit Fox comedy New Girl Seriescreator was afraid she wouldn’t find a lead ‘as weird as I am’

Luckily, ‘adorkable’ Zooey Deschanel walked in the door

The show’s plot

Zooey Deschanel plays Jess,

an adorable, goofy girl

who moves in with three

guys after a bad breakup.

The men welcome theirnew roomie in a little sisterkind of way, trying to helpher tone down her dorkytendencies and get back inthe dating game. The comedy: “[Jess is]someone who expressesher emotions all the time …which I think is a reallygreat contrast with the oth-er characters, who are lessin touch with theiremotions,” Deschanel says.“A lot of the comedy comesout of that juxtaposition.”

“I didn’t think I could,you know, find somebodythat’s as weird as I am,”Meriwether interjects.

“The first time that shecame in [to audition], thefeeling in the room was,just the second sheopened her mouth to dothis scene, everybody waslike, ‘This is a perfectmatch of character and ac-tress.’”

“When I read it,” De-

schanel adds, “I was like,‘I obviously need to playthis part. This is me.’ Imean, not actually me,but it is a part of me, a se-cret part.

And if there’s any char-acter I want to play forev-er and ever and ever, it’sthis one. So I’m psyched.High five, Liz.”

Meriwether’s reaction?“Ah, I’m going to cry,” shesays.

Musical girlZooey Deschanel’s othergig is as one half of theband She & Him (shesings and plays pianoand ukulele). Music playsa big part in New Girl —the theme to Dirty Danc-ing is featured in the pi-lot episode, and Jessoften breaks out into lit-tle ditties. AMBER RAY

rolling hills of well-groomed vines. In fact,with its warm summers andtrademark wet and mildB.C. winters, the area is per-fect for growing Pinot Noirand Pinot Gris Grapes,which is why new wineriesare sprouting up every year.

Cowichan Valley itself isa great little paradise nes-tled among towering oldgrowth forests, quiet beach-es and meandering rivers.Combine that with somegood vino and you’ve gotyourself a winning combi-nation.

Centrally located be-tween Victoria andNanaimo, there is also noshortage of outdoor fun. Ifound myself surroundedby curious seals one morn-ing as my one-man kayakskimmed the calm PacificOcean in front of the cosy

Ocean Point Hotel inCowichan Bay. These friend-ly little guys (almost lookedlike a pack of puppies pok-ing there heads up) were allaround my vessel. It was avery cool way to spend amorning.

No trip to wine countrywould be complete withoutsampling the product. I wasimpressed by my visit toseveral wineries in the area,including Averill Creekvineyards, which happensto be the largest on the Is-land. I found myself sippinga very palatable Pinot Noirreserve on the slope ofMount Prevost, while takingin the spectacular view ofCowichan valley. It felt likeI was sitting in Napa, onlywithout the pomp and theprices. Nothing like a relax-ing weekend exploring thebest kept secret in B.C.

Cowichan Valley is home to nearly 20 first-class boutique wineries.

I graduated in 2006 fromthe Applied Communica-tion Program at CamosunCollege in Victoria, B.C. Itis a two-year program fo-cusing on graphic design,journalism, broadcast ra-dio, television and photog-raphy.

During my program, itseems so cliché to say that Iworked hard, but I workedharder than I ever have be-fore because I knew thatonce I left school with mytwo-year diploma, I’d prob-ably have to be twice asemployable as the graduatewho held a degree.

What I learned

Key take-aways from

Krystal’s experience.

Don’t refuse a job becauseit doesn’t sound like yourdream job — it can leadyou there.

Finding a job in a competi-tive market means youhave to stand out andwork hard.

Start thinking about yourcareer even from your firstyear of university orcollege.

n’t take a marketing pro-gram, all of the skills I waslearning were directly ap-plicable to any job withinthe marketing realm.

My passion has alwaysbeen writing, but I did notwant to specialize in any-thing and potentially pi-geon-hole myself before Ieven landed my first job.So by opening up my skill-set I felt like I could fit intowhatever position wasneeded within a large mar-keting department, or Icould be the go-to personwithin a smaller company.

Like most students, onceI graduated, I had a hugepile of student loan andcredit card debt to dealwith. I knew I needed toget a job and eliminate my

debt as fast as possible, so Ikept my ear to the groundand started networkinglike crazy.

One day, I got wordfrom a friend that therewas an unadvertised open-ing for an entry-level clerkposition within the provin-cial government. I wasn’tinterested in being a clerk,but I decided to apply forthe job anyway in order topractice my interviewskills.

It turns out they wereactually looking for some-one with my kind of mar-keting skills — they justdidn’t have the budget tohave the position classifiedas anything higher than aclerk. It was the break thatI had been waiting for. I

snapped up the job on thespot and started the verynext week.

It was also around thattime that I started bloggingonline. I created my web-site, Give Me Back My FiveBucks (givemebackmyfive-bucks.com), as a way tohold myself accountablefor my debt, and to givemyself an outlet for writ-ing. It was because of myblog that I was able to elim-inate all of my debt within12 months.

Even though I only havea two-year diploma, I feel like I have been rela-tively successful in the last five years. I don’t haveany remarkable skills, ahuge network of influ-encers, or a lot of educa-tion to back me up but I’vebeen able to succeed be-cause of my hard work, de-termination, and theability to create opportuni-ties for myself.

When you are fresh outof school, all you need tofocus on is getting yourfoot in the door. Normally,entry-level positions arenot glamorous. In fact, itmight not look anythinglike the dream job you’vebeen imagining – but that’sOK! We all have to startsomewhere. Do a good jobwith every task you are as-signed, work hard, and beproactive in asking formore responsibility.TALENTEGG.CA, CANADA’S ONLINE

Move over, vampires Zombies are everywhere and rising in popularity Soon to be kings of the undead

Sparkly vampires are all therage right now, but zombiesare knocking their fellow le-gions of the undead fromtheir pedestal.

From zombie walks be-ing held in cities across theworld to television shows,video games and numerousbooks hitting the stores,people’s fascination withzombies is spreading like aplague.

“Zombies have the up-per hand,” says Universityof B.C. film studies profes-

sor Ernest Mathijs, whosespecialities include horrorand fantasy film.

“Zombies are a kind ofingredient you can add toany cultural product andmake it look slightly differ-ent,” he said. “It will turn itinto a funny parody of con-temporary cultures, andsomehow that appeals tocultures across the globe.”

The idea of zombiesoriginally came from thevoodoo culture in Haiti.The word “zombi” wasused to describe a brainlessslave labourer raised fromthe dead by a bokor, or sor-cerer.

The now-familiar mod-ern zombie was popular-ized and turned into aphenomenon in 1968 byway of the unexpected pop-ularity of director GeorgeRomero’s low-budget hor-ror classic Night of the Liv-ing Dead.

Gisele Baxter of UBC’sEnglish department, whospecializes in gothic cul-

ture and post-apocalypticfiction, says Romero’s filmtook the horror genre onestep further.

“Romero was influentialin spawning everyday hor-ror that doesn’t deal withmad scientists or external-ized threats, but deals withthreats we associate withnightmares, personalthreats and very primal

fears,” she says.The audience identifies

with zombie stories be-cause people today are fas-cinated and fearful of thepossibility of an apoca-lypse, widespread annihila-tion or a viral pandemic,Baxter says.

The metaphorical possi-bilities and themes inher-ent in zombie stories alsoappeal to modern filmmak-ers because they can exper-iment with notions of whatpeople would do to survivein a kill-or-be-killed world,

Both Mathijs and Baxterhave been fascinated by theemergence of new, creative

ways of incorporating thezombie factor into popularculture. One recent innova-tion is the spoof novel Prideand Prejudice and Zombies,which is being adapted intoa film.

“When you think ofPride and Prejudice, thelast thing you think aboutis zombies,” Baxter says.“The juxtaposition of theseimmensely different thingsreally fascinated people.Then it spawned a lot ofcopycat titles, which is veryimpressive because peoplefound the energy and imag-ination to do anything withthese titles.”

Zombie love is a no-brainer“If zombie narratives go further ininvesting zombies with some capacity forpersonality and depth of characterization,it will probably come closer to being avariance on vampire stories.”PROF. GISELE BAXTER, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

Participants in the 2010 zombie walk in Ottawa.

Ottawans, reach for your most ghoulish garments A dire warning about zom-bies from Mayor Jim Wat-son has reached the officesof Metro News:

“Zombie apocalypsesare hardly predictable andthey spread quickly be-cause, let’s face it, zombiesonly care about eating ...your brains. So, it’s impor-tant to be ready with anemergency kit of rationsand a well-thought escapeplan. Don’t get caught un-prepared because even

though they move slowly,the undead are deadly ingroups,” reads the firmlytongue-in-cheek email.

But it seems Ottawazombies care a little morethan your run-of-the-millundead horde. On Oct. 22the city’s annual zombiewalk will be collectingnon-perishable food itemsfor the Ottawa Food Bankin addition to the tradition-al braiiinnnnnnns.

“Most zombie walks in

North America have a char-itable element to them,”said walk organizer andself-styled “zombie queen”Bryony Etherington.“We’ve arranged to have afood-bank van on site atMacDonald Gardens Parkso people can bring theirdonations.”

Walkers are to assemblefrom 1:30 to 3 p.m. at thepark, where makeup serv-ices, hearse rides and otherfun activities will be on

tap.At 3 p.m. the walk will

start moving north onCoburg Street toward theByWard Market. After me-andering through the mar-ket, the zombies will lurchsouth through the U of Ocampus before headingacross the Corkstownbridge and north again totheir final resting place atParliament Hill.

“We had about 700 to1,000 people last year on

the Hill,” said Etherington.“I’m expecting about 1,000this year.”

Already 1,300 peoplehave confirmed their at-tendance on the walk’sFacebook page.

Etherington says thepopularity of the eventmay be in part due to theexplosion of zombie andvampire culture in popularmedia. But she also sus-pects the walk may appealto everyone’s inner kid.

“It’s a family event, but Ithink the real appeal is it’sreally a way for peoplewho are out of the trick-or-treating age to have a funHalloween event.”

SURVIVE A ZOMBIE OUTBREAK

Land of the Dead

HANDOUTDo not. Take the elevator

Do not. Attempt to out-swim the dead

Zombies aren’t bears. Asa few unfortunate char-acters in Romero’s 2010horror-western Survivalof the Dead discover,they aren’t afraid of thewater

When rogue SWATcops go for a dip toescape the ghouls, theysoon discover the dead— who, remember, don’tbreathe — are excellentswimmers and have noproblem eating whilstunderwater.

Romero: I had under-

In Romero’s incredibly influential 1978 epic Dawn of theDead, a handful of survivors land their helicopter on theroof of Pittsburgh’s Monroeville Mall and block out thecorpses, creating a Shangri-la of material bliss.

But when the ghouls gain entrance as they always do,chopper pilot Fly Boy (David Emge) stupidly takes thelift. And when thosedoors open up, ahorde of flesheatersburst in and ridewith him. Thefollowing scenes aregory and shouldserve as a warningto potential zombiesurvivalists toalways take thestairs.

Romero: Dawn isa romp, and I thinkit’s the most enter-taining of all theDead films. I reallycut loose and did itas “comic book,” asI wanted to do it.But when Fly Boygets it there’s tragedy in there too.

Savini: The other thing Dawn teaches you is that yourfriends should not know where the hell you’re hiding,just in case they become zombies with goodmemories.

See also:: Resident Evil (2004), in whichmilitary types take an elevator to hell and en-counter subterranean zombies of both hu-

man and caninepersuasions.

Just in case you happen to find yourself face-to-face with the undead, here’s what you shouldn’t do

Survival of

the Dead

water zombie stuff inLand and Diary but reallyplayed with it here.There is a lot of humourin Survival, but it’s alsoreally melancholic, lessfree-and-easy. Though atthis stage of my life, I’mthinking of calling thenext one — if there is anext one — Enough ofthe Dead!

Savini: Forgetswimming. I go wherethere are places to runand things to hidebehind, maybe up high,where I can blast away atthem and they can’t get

to me.

It’s remarkable how the liv-ing dead have defined thepost-millennium zeitgeistmore than any other pop-culture entity.

From Max Brooks’ best-selling novel World War Z(an upcoming film adapta-tion will star Brad Pitt) to aglut of first-person shootervideogames to mainstreamtelevision with AMC’s TheWalking Dead, the zombiehas mysteriously reachedthe peak of his popularity.

But most of this can betraced back to one man, themaster of zombie lore,George A. Romero.

It was Romero who, in1968, took the basic thrustof Richard Matheson’s shat-tering vampire apocalypsenovel I Am Legend andbrought the dead back tolife with his masterpieceNight of the Living Dead.

That filmwould spawn aseries of rip-offs,sequelsand

eventually spoofs like EdgarWright’s smash-hit comedyShaun of the Dead.

If, by some sort of biolog-ically bad stroke of viralluck, mankind were to sud-denly be under siege from arevolution of the dead ...what would we do?

Metro thought long andhard about this and, usingcommentary from GeorgeRomero and his frequentcollaborator, iconic FX wiz-ard, director and actor TomSavini, we now offer you aselection of “do nots” in theface of a potential zombie-

geddon.

The Walking Dead

HANDOUT

Do not. Marginalize or exploit the dead

Romero’s post-Dawn remake comeback, 2005’s Land of the Dead, saw thelate Dennis Hopper as a capitalist swine who allows his fellow Republicansto hide in his multimillion-dollar condo while the dead population arehunted and slaughtered beyond his electrified fences. When a burlyundead gas-station attendant named Big Daddy (Eugene Clark) tires of see-ing his “people” treated as target practice, he leads the zombies into an all-out class struggle attack against their moneyed oppressors.

Romero: I think (Land) was the first time mainstream American criticssaw the satire of my work, and I owe it all to George Bush! I think it’s allthere when Hopper says the line: “We do not negotiate with terrorists.”

Savini: I played a machete-wielding zombie in Land, and George’s direc-tion was simple: “Slam the s--t out of the guy who comes up to me.” So I did.

See also: The Omega Man (1971), in which a zombie-like cult of blindedghouls try to kill any reminder of corporate America, including solesurvivor Charlton Heston.

They Came Back (2004)Moody, masterful French chillerabout the dead returning andtrying to re-integrate themselvesinto their old lives and families.

Tombs of the Blind Dead (1971)This Spanish shocker sees rotten,long-dead, blind templars crawl-ing through crypts, listening fortheir prey.

Return of the Living Dead (1985)What begins as a spoof ofRomero’s films slowly evolves in-to a blood-and-brains-soakednightmare.

Zombie (1979)The unofficial Italian prequel toRomero’s Dawn, made by splat-ter master Lucio Fulci. Insane, de-lightfully disgusting.

WHEELBASE MEDIA

Scan code for more car reviews and news

Longer and widerKia’s California-based stylists really sharpenedtheir pencils (or computer programs) in design-ing the new Rio duo and devised a larger canvason which to do it.

Both the sedan and hatchback 5-Door are a bitlonger and wider than their predecessors andthe distance between their front and rear wheelshas grown by a leg-stretching three inches.

The sheetmetal is now much more pleasing,especially on the slinkier hatch that has its owngrille, bumper and, of course, rear door.

Kia has done a good job of creating a sedan that doesn’t look droopy at the ends. From this angle, you can also see that the headlights stretch up the front fender more than half way. Remember when headlights used to be on the front of a car?

It can now be carved instone with absolute cer-tainty that the dumbed-down, stripped-baresmall-car era is officiallyover. And we have carssuch as the 2012 Kia Rio tothank for pushing high-tech and comfort featuresdown to the lowest limbon the automotive tree.

The all-new Rio sedanand Rio 5-Door hatchbackbear little resemblance totheir predecessors thattook a minimalist ap-proach and backed it upwith styling and featuresthat defined utilitarian.

But, hey, that workedfor the Rio and its HyundaiAccent relation (Hyundaiowns Kia), as well as for

just about every other en-try-level car on the planet.

It’s amazing what a lit-tle bar-raising competitionhas done for what wasonce the low-rent catego-ry. Nowadays, the marketis teeming with really de-cent base rides, includingthe Ford Fiesta, ToyotaYaris, Mazda2, Honda Fit,Nissan Versa and the up-coming Chevrolet Sonic,to name some of the classleaders.

At a base price of$15,650 for the hatchback(pricing for the sedan has-n’t been set yet), the Riomodels appear to have es-tablished category bench-marks for fashion andsubstance that will behard to top, but easy forsmall-car shoppers to swal-low.

Kia Rio: Goodthings come insmall packages

Modern and simplistic with a richer look defines the new Rio’s interior. The car isn’t the least expensive in its class, but it doesn’t have to be.

The smart-looking hatchback has slightly less cargo room than the previous model with the rear seat in the upright position.

MALCOLM [email protected] MEDIA

Idle Stop and GoThe powerplant’s claim to fame is the adoption ofwhat Kia calls Idle Stop and Go (ISG). This feature,available only in combination with the automatictransmission, shuts down the engine when theRio comes to a complete stop, then instantly firesit up again when the brake pedal is released.

ISG is part of an optional Eco DynamicsPackage that includes a special alternator that dis-engages under high engine load (such as whenheading up a hill) to reduce power-sapping dragand improve fuel economy.

Engine The Rio’s power output has been signifi-cantly increased. The 1.6-litre four-cylin-der produces 138 horses and 123pound-feet of torque. That’s a gain of 28horses and 16 pound-feet of torque com-pared to the outgoing 1.6, which is sig-nificant on a 1,135-kilogram vehicle.

The lighter-by-13 kilograms engine isconnected to a six-speed manual trans-mission or an optional six-speedautomatic.

FUEL EFFICIENCY FACES INTRIGUING PARADOX

We instinctivelyequate fuel efficiencywith fuelconservation, but theyare completely differ-ent concepts. If fact,fuel efficiency can ac-tually lead to more fu-el consumption.

This disturbingnotion was firstdocumented ina scholarly way,back in 1865,by the British

economist, W. StanleyJevons.

He argued that the tech-nological improvements,which increased theamount of energy onecould extract out of a cer-tain amount of coal, actual-ly led to more coal use, notless. The notion has sincebeen known as the JevonsParadox.

I had my own Jevons Par-adox moment this pastweekend. I made an extrarun to my ancestral bunga-low, 100 kilometres away,mostly because I had accessto a very efficient vehicle —

AUTO PILOT

MIKE [email protected]

the cute and zippy Chevro-let Sonic.

With the Sonic’s high-way fuel consumption rat-ing of 5.1 L/100 km, the 200km round trip burned upabout 11 litres of regular, at$1.22 per, for an estimatedexpenditure of about 13bucks.

If my only vehicle optionhad been my ’67 Jaguar E-type, I wouldn’t have went,because the round tripwould have cost me about$35 in premium fuel, about$2 in heavy weight engineoil, and about a day or twooff my life expectancy, dueto the physical and emo-

tional stress of watchingthe Jaguar’s coolant tem-perature gauge flirtingwith disaster for two solidhours. But I did have theSonic, so I went. Net result:I used 11 “more” litres ofgasoline than I would have,had I been Sonic-less.

We take more car tripsand drive more annualkilometres than we did 40years ago, and that meanswe consume more gasolinethan we did 40 years ago,even factoring in the fan-tastic fuel efficiency gainswe’ve made over the sameperiod.

Now, we’re contributingsignificantly less green-house gases per vehicle

trip, because the vehiclesrun a lot cleaner, so that’ssomething.

But if we collectivelythink we’ll fix everythingby chipping away at the fu-el numbers, we won’t, be-cause the more fuel-efficient vehicles become,the cheaper it becomes toconsume fuel. We’re on apath to efficiently consumemore and more fuel.

Economists, especiallythose with a free marketbent, tell us there is one,sure-fire way to changeconsumer behaviour — thebrute force of high price.

But do we want a world

where fuel prices are sohigh only the rich get todrive? I say, “nay.”

Actually I would say,“nay, nay, really nay.” Iguess we could also allo-cate fuel via a voucher sys-tem, as used by post-warBritain for many years.

What would really help,however, is if someonecame up with a new para-dox, one that would be eas-ier to get your head aroundthan Jevons Paradox, andwhere the outcome wouldalways be awesome.

That’s your assignmentfor this week. No exten-sions.

Honda LEEDs way at new head officeEnvironmentally-friendly building was three years in the making

All automakers are work-ing to make their vehiclesmore environmentally-friendly, but sustainabilityinvolves all aspects of theauto industry. That’s whyHonda designed its new

headquarters in Markham,Ont., to meet LEED (Leader-ship in Energy and Envi-ronmental Design)standards.

“It took us three years tobuild and move in,” saysBarry Holt, Honda’s vice-president of finance and in-formation services.

“To date, Honda has 11LEED-certified facilities (inNorth America), and this isthe only one in Canada.”

The Honda head office“campus” consists of threebuildings — offices, partswarehouse and a technicalcentre — on 54 acres ofland. It recently was award-ed Gold status by LEED.

It’s not just enough toincorporate recycled mate-rials or reduce the con-struction trash that goes tolandfills, although Hondadid that.

It started well before the

first shovel went into theground with habitat preser-vation, since the complexwas built on a farmer’sfield. This meant ensuringthat forests or ponds didn’thave to be taken out. Alarge portion of the proper-ty has been given over togreen space, and some1,000 trees, 5,000 shrubsand 2,700 perennials havebeen planted.

Water is always a key is-

sue with sustainability, andthe Honda building uses astorm-water system that

collects rainwater andstores it in an undergroundcistern for irrigation.

A sensible alternative to most coupes2007 to 2011 Volkswagen Eos

SECONDGEAR

JUSTIN [email protected]

A convertible four-seaterdesigned for year-rounduse, the Volkswagen Eos featured a sleekcoupe body capped by ahard-top motorized roof and sunroofassembly — allowingowners to take in the sunand fresh air even oncolder days.

An affordable, but up-scale model, the VW Eos featured naviga-tion, parking radar, Bluetooth, premiumaudio, xenon lighting,heated leather seatingand more.

A long list of safetyequipment was also stan-dard.

EngineAll Eos models got atwo-litre four-cylinderturbo engine with 200 horsepow-er. Transmission choices includeda six-speed manual and a six-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG)with paddle shift.

Common issuesStart a test-drive of a poten-tial used Eos by looking forwater leaks. Many Eos own-ers have reported some lev-el of water leakage throughthe convertible top, socheck carpeting, the roofpanels and the roof storagearea for signs of water dam-age or dampness.

All on-board electronicsshould also be tested forproper performance. Notethat a rough idle,hesitation, or a check-engine light could becaused by glitch ignition-system parts.

VerdictConsider the Eos a roomi-er and more sensible alter-native to machines like aMazda MX-5 or Saturn Skyin the used market —thanks to its back seat andthe year-round drivingconfidence of front-wheeldrive.

What owners likeEos’s quick-acting topmechanism, nicely-trimmed cab-in, fun-to-drive attitude and an overallsporty and refined character is popularwith owners. Most of these note that inte-rior space up front is generous given theoverall size of the car.

What ownersdislikeEos owners typically wishfor more back-seat space, better rear-ward visibility, and more storagespace for smaller, at-hand items with-in the cabin. Limited trunk space isalso an issue with some owners.
