An RCMP officer says deadly vio-lence on the Samson Cree reservein central Alberta won’t endunless residents stop supportinggang members and come forwardas witnesses.
Sgt. Patrick Webb said yester-day it’s a “good guess” the latestshooting is gang-related.
Officers questioned several wit-nesses after a 23-year-old womanwas shot outside a house earlyMonday. Moments later, more bul-lets were fired at a nearby home.
“Some individuals are not atall conducive to supporting theinvestigation,” said Webb. “Rightnow we have had some informa-tion, but certainly not enough tolay a charge.”
The shooting occurred next tothe home where five-year-oldEthan Yellowbird was killed July11. The boy, a grandchild of bandChief Marvin Yellowbird, wasstruck in the head by a bullet firedfrom outside his bedroom wall. Itwas the second shooting on the
reserve that day.Webb confirmed the boy was
a relative of the latest homicidevictim, but there was no evidenceyet linking the two killings.Friends and family on Facebookidentified the woman as thechild’s aunt — Chelsea Yellow-bird.
Although some people haven’tco-operated with police or spokenpublicly about the violence, theyhave posted both angry and sym-pathetic messages on the social
networking site.“The violence has to stop,” Lar-
ry Portas, a friend of the Yellow-bird family, wrote in a message.“Something’s got to be donebefore more young people die.”
Band council officials did notreturn calls yesterday but havespoken previously about the dis-turbing violence in the commu-nity. They issued a public pleaafter Ethan was killed two monthsago for residents to help theRCMP. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Gang fights
About a dozen gangs have beenfighting over the drug trade onthe reserve over the last fewyears. Webb said 60 per cent ofthe 14,000 residents are under 18and especially vulnerable to thelure of gang money and status.Guns are their weapon of choiceand drive-by shootings are com-mon, said Webb.
A memorial by the house wherefamily confirmed Chelsea Yellow- bird was shot on Sunday.

Edmonton bachelors look-ing for love have the oppor-tunity to achieve holymatrimony with a compati-ble Russian wife, thanks toa local radio station.
Win a Wife, on offerfrom 100.3 The Bear,launched Aug. 22 and morethan 60 entries have beenreceived, said station branddirector Rob Vavrek.
The grand prize includes13 nights’ accommodation,
return airfare, and intro-duction services courtesy ofA Volga Girl, a company of-fering matchmaking andmarriage support services.
The concept is “similarto many other such con-tests held on reality TVshows over the past fewyears around the world,”Vavrek said in an email toMetro.
Online and through so-cial media, some say theyfind the contest funnywhile others are offended.
Local marketer JillScheyk, of Yes That Jill
Communications, said“shock contests” are be-coming more common,mainly on classic rock sta-tions.
“Especially in certain de-mographics, they tend touse such advertisements,”she said.
Similar examples, saidScheyk, include wet T-shirtcontests put on by Edmon-ton’s K-97, breast augmen-tation offered by 90.3 AMPin Calgary and Win a Babyfor fertility treatments,which was launched by Ot-tawa’s Hot 89.9.
Contest put on in partnership with company specializing in Russianmail order brides Radio station says number of entries ‘growing daily’
Radio station 100.3 The Bear has launched a contest called Win a Wife, which awards the winner
with a trip to Russia and a chance at a bride. It can be found online at thebearrocks.com.

Fake buspasses costcity $29KChanges are underway after a report released yes-terday revealed $29,000 inlost Edmonton Transit rev-enue due to counterfeitpasses.
The sale of the fakeadult monthly passes wasbrought to the city’s atten-tion in February, andresulted in the arrest ofone individual alleged tohave sold 351 of them.
“As we find a breach insecurity, the first questionis what is the quality ofthe product? And thenhow was it put into circu-lation?” said transpor-tation general managerBob Boutilier, adding thefake passes looked“reasonably good.”
Boutilier wouldn’t com-ment on whether more ar-rests are expected, but didsay police “haven’t stop-ped the investigation be-cause we are still con-sidering there might beothers … out there.”
The city auditor’s reportdoesn’t outline any recom-mendations for securityreasons, but some have al-ready been implementedand others could be on theway in the future.
“In the future, smartcards would prevent that,”said Boutilier.

Motor Maids Ann Savoy MacKelvie, Denise Pelrine and Elizabeth Pass are heading to New
York this week to take part in a 9-11 tribute rally.
RYAN TAPLIN/METRO
Riders headedfor Ground Zero
The roar of over 5,000 mo-torcycles won’t be able todrown out the memoriesof the Twin Towers col-lapsing into dust.
But three motorcyclistsfrom Halifax will be thereon the 10th anniversary ofthe 9-11 attacks to repre-sent a city that helped outso generously that day.
Denise Pelrine, AnnSavoy MacKelvie and Eliz-abeth Pass are Halifax-area residents andmembers of Motor Maids,a women’s-only motorcy-cling club that dates backto 1940. Their club wasasked to escort membersof the International Asso-ciations of FirefightersMotorcycle Group fromNewburgh, N.Y., toGround Zero on the 10thanniversary of the attackson Sunday.
“We’re very proud to beasked to escort them in.It’s awe-inspiring,” said
Pelrine, who will carry theNova Scotia flag on herbike.
In total, 12 CanadianMotor Maids will partici-pate in the rally: Threefrom Nova Scotia, twofrom New Brunswick andseven from Ontario.They’ll all be wearing do-nated helmets from fire-fighters in theirhometowns.
“The Americans recog-nize Canada as a real sis-ter, a support in whathappened,” said MacK-
elvie.Like everyone, the
three women easily recallwhere they were on Sept.11, 2001, and the feelingsthat washed over them asthe news hit.
“Everyone was soblown apart by what wasgoing on. I remember call-ing to offer my home (forstranded passengers),”said Pass.
So many other Haligo-nians had stepped up toopen their homes to thethousands of airline pas-sengers who were strand-ed by the no-fly zone thatPass’s offer wasn’t need-ed.
“It’s a sin and a tragedywhen it happens but it’sgreat to see people re-spond like that. It showsthe Nova Scotia spirit forsure,” Pelrine said.
“This wassomething thatchanged the world.It changed ourperception of somany things. Idon’t thinkanybody isunaffected by it. ...These are thethings that youcan’t forget.”ANN SAVOY MACKELVIE

CARSTEN FLECK/CONTRIBUTED
Hell rained down allaround him on 9-11, butwhat Lyle Owerko remem-bers most 10 years afterthat fateful day is the bluesky.
“It just was truly excep-tional,” he told Metro. “Un-fortunately, it provided a
beautiful backdrop forsomething so horrible.”
The University of Calgarygraduate had just returnedfrom a photo excursion inAfrica. Jet-lagged, his bag ofgear was still packed whenthe first plane struck theWorld Trade Center justblocks from his apartmentin New York’s Tribecaneighbourhood.

Pick up a copy of Metro on
Friday for our discussion
9-11’s legacy a decade
later.
“I reacted immediatelyto the sound,” he said.
Owerko raced outsideand was alerted to thesmoking crash site near thetop of the North Tower. Heraced to the scene, loadingfilm along the way.
“The tragedy really start-ed unfolding,” he said.
Fiery debris and chaoslittered the street, and des-perate people began leap-ing to their deaths from theupper floors. Owerkocaught some of the individ-uals on film, but it was animage he took just mo-ments later that wouldlaunch his work into thespotlight.
A second plane roared in-to Lower Manhattan on acollision course with theSouth Tower. Owerko point-ed his camera toward thetop of the tower and caughtthe impact.

WEIRD NEWS
What a croc!Its mighty snout wrapped tightly withropes, a one-tonne, 6.1-metre saltwatercrocodile was captured and put on dis-play in a town in the southern Philip-pines — one of the biggest suchreptiles to be caught in recent years.
“Lolong,” as it has been nicknamed,is about to become the star attractionof an ecotourism park — unless it’s up-staged by an even larger reptile thatmay be still be on the loose.
Residents of Bunawan township cel-ebrated when they captured the croc,with about 100 people pulling thefeared beast from a creek by rope, thenhoisting it by crane onto a truck. While
the beast was safely tiedup, they examined itsteeth, claws and stubbylegs with fascination.
The scaly skinned Lo-long — which tips thescales at 1,075 kilograms— is estimated to be atleast 50 years old. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE KIDS AREALL RIGHT
As you wave goodbye to thekids today, staggering underthe weight of their 30-poundbackpacks stuffed withtextbooks, iPads/iPhones/iPods, healthy lunch-
es (which they’ll pitch as soon as you’renot looking and head for the nearestcheeseburger), gym clothes (which areclean for at least one day this year), andvarious waiver forms, consider the invest-ment that’s climbing out of the SUV.
According to the usually reliablesources, it costs roughly a quarter of a million bucks toraise a child, and you really can’t expect too much helpfrom Hillary Clinton’s legendary village. The good news isthat you get to spread the costs over 20 years, so the annu-al touch is only about $12,500.
Your alcohol budget is probably higher than that, espe-cially throughout the teen years.
Of course, expenses varydepending on your specificcircumstances. A teenagegirl, for example, needs herOWN bathroom and herOWN bedroom, preferablywith a swinging hinge onthe door so when she slamsit with a dramatic flourishwhile declaring how muchshe totally hates you, theceiling won’t fall in.
A teenage boy will sleepanywhere as long as it’s infront of an Xbox 360.
Generally, the older a kidgets, the sloppier he or shelooks and the more it coststo get the look. Prior to turn-ing 11, kids look like theirparents’ idea of what a kidshould look like, all pressedand brushed and scrubbedand sensible. After 11, theylook as if they wereoutfitted by Puff Diddy.
Remember that it’s toughbeing a kid in 2011. Thereare simply too many rolemodels, all of them JustinBieber and Selena Gomez.
The pressure to be cool starts in kindergarten, where youhave to make sure you don’t wet your pants and you haveto be constantly on the alert to make sure no one swipesTeddy.
Meanwhile, the real competition is hidden in thelibrary (where’s that?), where they are already studying 24-7 and have nearly filled all the pre-med slots for theClass of 2024. It’s a jungle out there, and unless your kid’sa cheetah, he/she can expect to spend the next 12 years atthe bottom of the food chain, no matter how much youlove them.
So, a quarter of a million bucks may seem like a lot ofmoney to turn out a Clerk Typist 4 or a travel agent, butthey will be the best, most intelligent, beautiful middlemanagers ever raised. And they’re worth every penny.And all the love you’ve got, which is enough.

The mayor of Bunawan townshippretends to measure the 6.1-metre croc.
Western companies haveflocked to Indonesia tosell everything fromLouis Vuitton bags to Piz-za Hut, but one big busi-ness has held out againstthe foreign invasion. Cin-ema screens are current-ly off limits to mostHollywood blockbusters— thanks to a virtual mo-nopoly on film importsby a single company.
With a boomingnational economy, agrowing middle class anda relatively young popu-lation — 36 per cent arebetween the ages of 15and 40 — Indonesia pro-vides a near-bottomlessmarket for consumer in-dustries.
Yet the film world hasmanaged to escape manyof the reforms thatresulted in thedismantling of monopo-lies following thecollapse in 1998 of the32-year dictatorship ofSuharto, who placed con-trol of entire sectors inthe hands of family andtrusted friends.
As long as Group 21maintains a firm grip onall film imports and mostscreens in theatresnationwide, cinemalovers will have little tocheer about, said RaamPunjabi, a prominentproducer and outspokencritic of the movie indus-try. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bucky Larson: Born to Be aStar puts a wide-eyedpornography newcomer(co-writer and star NickSwardson) at odds with amore established adultfilm performer (StephenDorff) in this Adam San-dler comedy.
The pair left any senseof animosity on the screen,though, if Metro’s love-festof a chat with the pair isany indication.
Nick, I take it this is an auto-
biographical film for you?Nick Swardson: It’s a docu-mentary. We’re very excit-ed. They followed mearound for my beginning(laughs).
No, it’s awesome. It’s an idea that (Adam)
Sandler had. He told me,‘You play a kid who findsout his parents used to beporn stars,’ and it’s suchan awesome concept be-cause you do think, ‘Whatif I found a porno from the’60s or ’70s that my par-ents were starring in?What would my reactionbe?’ And this kid’s reactionis like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’smy calling.’
A lot of other comics havepegged you as the one towatch over the last couple ofyears.Nick Swardson: Oh, that’svery cool. Who said that,my mom?
Mostly your mom, yeah.Stephen Dorff: And yourgrandma.
How does it feel to have thatkind of momentum buildingup? Not to put any pressureon you.Nick Swardson: No, it’s cool,man. I’ve been doing com-edy for 16 years, so it’s not,like, jarring. It’s not anovernight thing where I’m
like, ‘Ah! How do I deal?’You know, I’ve had somany parts in Sandler’sstuff, Blades of Glory, Reno911. So it’s been like a nicebuild. I just feel like it’s re-ally the perfect time. Idon’t feel any pressure oranything, and I’m reallyenjoying it. You know, I getto do a movie like thiswhere I get to work withpeople like Stephen, who’san amazing actor.Stephen Dorff: Thanks,buddy.Nick Swardson: Yeah, buddy.I love you.
We saw you last inSomewhere, playing a movie
star, and now you’re playinga porn star in the other. Doyou approach the charactersthe same way?Stephen Dorff: A little dif-ferent, a little different.This one had bad jeans, alittle more Granada Hillsthrown in there, some Af-fliction T-shirts, someBrett Michaels influence. Nick Swardson: You had abigger penis in Some-where.
You had to decrease itfor this role. In Some-where, he had the three-foot penis, going down tohis knees. In this one theywere like, you’ve got to di-al that back.

But no one should mis-take the singer’s nervesand anxiety for issuesabout her weight, ofwhich she says she hasnone.
“I’ve seen peoplewhere it rules their lives,who want to be thinner
or have bigger boobs, andhow it wears themdown,” she previouslysaid in an interview withRolling Stone.
“I don’t want that inmy life. I haveinsecurities, of course,but I don’t hang out withanyone who points themout to me.”

Happily even morepints were involved a fewdays later when I had achance to tour the city’smost impressive boutiquebrewery called Big Rock.
This is a great place tojust hang out and havelunch, and of course tast-ing the product is not too
hard of a sell either. Thebrewery’s GrasshopperWheat Ale has become avery popular export to oth-er parts of the country,
and the Big Rock Lime isno slouch either.

For their book The Fresh-man Survival Guide, au-thors Nora Bradbury-Haehland Bill McGarvey of Bust-edHalo.com interviewedprofessors, administrators,campus ministers and stu-dents alike in order to giveincoming freshmen aprimer on practicalitiesthey’ll need to know theirfirst year of college — andalso to help them tacklethe bigger questions. Wewent to McGarvey withsome questions of ourown.
What’s the biggest mistakefreshmen make when theystart college or university?They assume that every-body is going to be trust-worthy, and a few weeksor months into the semes-ter, you might realize thatperson you befriended canbe not really worthy ofyour trust. You spend 18years getting to this pointand you have friendshipsand networks with peoplethat know you and whoyou are: Don’t just chuckthem out the window be-cause you’re in college andeverything is exciting andnew.
Why did you choose toinclude matters of faith inyour book? A lot of similarguidebooks don’t.That’s kind of the reasonwhy. There’s a lot of booksout there about getting in-to school and makingyourself a success in col-lege, but there was noth-ing in there that dealt withthe whole student. Thesebooks almost seem to as-
sume that these studentswere a collection of braincells and hormones. Col-lege kids are less religiousbut they’re definitely get-ting more spiritual.
What should every freshmanknow upon starting post-sec-ondary school?You’re spending goodmoney to get an educationand there are enormous re-sources at your fingertips.You’re gonna run intochallenges, but there areplaces to turn and peoplethat are there to help you.
Can you expand on thebook’s web component?I came from a web back-ground, and I wanted tomake sure that our bookreflected the way youngerstudents read and interactwith the media now.Throughout the bookthere are chapters whereyou can go online and getspecial information or con-tribute. METRO
Figuring outthe freshman
Things not to doyour first week
You’re finally out of the house and settled in your dorm Make sureyou avoid a few freshman faux-pas as you embark on this new chapter
Here is some advice onwhat not to do to makesure you have a good postsecondary experience.Don’t:
Live online Chatting online with highschool friends or usingSkype to see a familiarface from back home is allwell and good, but don’toverdo it.
Do your best to avoidthe temptations of socialnetworking sites like Face-book and make some reallife memories.
Be picky about plans You might not find yourbest friends right away,but don’t let that stop youfrom going out to findthem.
It’s important to get outand meet your classmateswhile everyone is still asnew to campus as you, soeven if you’re not in lovewith the group — go!
Keep your door closed During the first week,keeping your dorm dooropen is an easy way to lethallmates come in andmeet you.
Buy out the bookstore It’s tempting to buy any-thing and everything withyour school’s name, butit’s not something you
want to be known for. There’s always one
overzealous frosh that stu-dents can count on to bedecked out in college swagfrom head to toe on anygiven day — don’t let that
be you.
Wait to get a job on campus Returning students knowhow important it is to lockdown a job as soon as pos-sible, mostly from learn-
ing the hard way theirfreshman year.
The best work-studygigs are limited and gofast, so don’t put it off.

I have been plagued withthe “I need experiencebut nobody will give it tome” curse for a long time.
Until one company iswilling to take a chanceon you and give you anentry-level position, thejob or internship hunt canbe tiresome. Trust me, Iknow.
That being said, as Iended my second year ofuniversity, I was finallyable to land an internship.
Want to know the real me? Start with my CVSTUDENT

Fortunately for me, thissmall company did justwhat an employer should:they looked beyond thecontent of my resumé.
When I came in on myfirst day, they told me Ihad been selected basedon the strong communica-tion skills I had demon-strated in my application.
My relevant work expe-rience had been reviewedbut was not necessarilythe top priority. They val-
ued that I could commu-nicate effectively andwere willing to give methe experience I lacked.
In my opinion, employ-ers should “read betweenthe lines” of a resumé andtry to recognize qualityover quantity.
What does a studentprove by having six short-term positions over onelong-term position? As astudent, does it benefit tobe a member of six clubsor to be the president ofone?
Employers seem to beso caught up in the lengthof a resumé that they neg-lect to read between thelines and see what’s reallythere. Through dedicationto one position, a studentis demonstrating commit-ment and perseverance.
Alanna Glass emphasizes the importance of quality over
quantity when it comes to the information a person
presents on their resumé.
The quality of your re-sumé is of paramount im-portance.
Whether one page ortwo, a resumé can bedemonstrative of so muchmore than past work ex-perience. For example, aresumé that is clean andwell-organized is often re-ceived as a reflection ofthe person who wrote it.
Also, creative descrip-tions of skills and priorexperience demonstrateimpressive communica-tion skills.
There’s no need towrite "excellent commu-nication skills" when it isevident in your writingand the construction ofthe resumé.
Take time to polish
your resumé. It’s oftenthe only piece of informa-tion that employers haveabout you, so you want tobe sure that it’s giving theright impression.

Rain shuts Open down for dayRain washed out all of yes-terday’s schedule at the U.S.Open, postponing matchesinvolving defending cham-pion Rafael Nadal and thethree American men left inthe tournament: Andy Rod-dick, John Isner and DonaldYoung.
Second-seeded VeraZvonareva, the 2010 run-
ner-up, also had beenscheduled to play yesterday,the first time play has beendelayed by rain at thisyear’s U.S. Open.
Steady showers that be-gan overnight carried intothe morning, first delayingwhat was supposed to be an11 a.m. ET start. About 21⁄2hours later, the U.S. Tennis
Association announced thatthe day and night sessionswere being called off.
A total of 54 matcheswere postponed at least un-til today, when more rain ispredicted. There also is achance of rain tomorrowand Friday, which couldthrow the schedule into dis-array. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Toronto Argonauts arenow Steven Jyles’ team.
Jyles assumed the start-ing quarterback positionwith the struggling Argos(2-7) yesterday, hours afterthe club’s surprising an-nouncement it had re-leased incumbent CleoLemon. Jyles will come offthe nine-game injured listthis week and make hisToronto debut Saturdaynight in Vancouver againstthe B.C. Lions.
“I’m expecting him to goout and play within him-self, and by the end of nine
games we’re going to knowwhat we have in StevenJyles,” said Torontocoach/GM Jim Barker. “Forhim, this is an opportunityto take control of a team.”
Lemon joined the Argosprior to the 2010 campaignfollowing seven NFL sea-sons and struggled with theCanadian game, amassingan 11-14 record as theclub’s starter. His departurecame four days after Lemonwas benched for the firsttime, giving way to backupDalton Bell to start the sec-ond half of Toronto’s 29-16
home loss to B.C., a gamethat saw the home teamroll up just 184 total offen-sive yards.
The move was a hugesurprise given Barker con-tinually supported Lemon
throughout his CFL strug-gles. Barker named Lemonhis starter last season de-spite Bell having played bet-ter in camp, and thoughToronto posted a 9-9 recordto qualify for the playoffs, itwas due mostly to its stoutdefence and spectacularspecial teams as the offencestruggled mightily.
In the off-season, Barkeracquired Jyles from Win-nipeg and declared anotheropen competition at train-ing camp for the starter’sjob. But the Lemon-Jylesshowdown never material-
ized as Jyles missed most ofcamp recovering from off-season shoulder surgery be-fore going on the injuredlist.
Lemon did show flashesof brilliance this year, com-pleting 66.5 per cent of hispassing with seven touch-downs against just four in-terceptions. But it wasn’tnearly enough to kick-startan anemic Toronto offencethat’s ranked last overall inthe total yards (312.1 yardsper game) and passingyards (277.3).THE CANADIAN PRESS

EngineKeeping the iQ on the go and hope-fully out of trouble is a 1.3-litrefour-cylinder engine thatgenerates 94 horsepower and 89pound-feet of torque.
That is minimal, butconsidering the car’s modest 970-kilogram curb weight, it’s likely allthat’s needed for most urban driv-ing scenarios.
Given the $18,300 entry price and an estimated fuel economy of 5.5/4.6 l/100 km (city/highway), there are more economical choices than the iQ. Purchase will have to be partly based on the got-to-have-it factor.
Seating and space This so-called “micro subcompact” offers a unique seatingarrangement, with the driver’s chair positioned a few cen-timetres aft of the front passenger seat.
This arrangement allows for a reasonable legroomassigned to the spot behind the shotgun position, butbarely any such space exists behind the driver. Full Montyseat deployment also results in a mere mail slot’s worth ofstorage space, accessible through the rear hatch. But withthe rear seat folded, stashing a couple of sets of golf clubsor full-size suitcases would not be out of the question.
How many airbags?The iQ isn’t particularly wide — nearlyequal to the fortwo in this regard — butthe offset front-seat layout should providesufficient space to prevent elbowcollisions.
It also features an amazing 11 airbagsstrategically located about the cabin. Thelist includes the first-ever rear-windowairbag plus driver and front-passengerknee and seat-cushion airbags.
BASE PRICE:
$18,300
More than four decadesago, North Americans be-gan a love affair with an in-expensive little two-doorrunabout that Toyota intro-duced to North Americafrom its Japanese home-
land. The Corolla badge hasso far been affixed to 40million vehicles.
Certainly Toyota isn’t ex-pecting its Scion-brandediQ to be a case of history re-peating, but if just a little ofthat ol’ Corolla mojo rubsoff on this tiniest of four-seaters, the automakerwould definitely have an-
other hit on its hands. TheiQ is an interesting piece ofarchitecture. Toyota hasmanaged to take a vehiclethat’s a scant three metreslong (roughly 30 centime-tres longer than a Smartfortwo) and create a rollinghabitat for four people.
The previous statement,however, requires some
clarification. The person sit-ting directly behind thedriver will either have to bevery small, or sufficientlyflexible to sit cross-leggedfor extended periods.
For all practical purpos-es, the iQ is essentially athree-person proposition,but it still puts the Smart toshame. Young urban sin-
gles and multi-car familiesare the likely targets, butmore car can be had forabout the same moneyfrom other automakerswith as good, or better fuel-efficiency stats.
But don’t discount theiQ’s certain indescribablecharm factor. After all, itworked for the Corolla.

This just in: Black isback. If you don’tbelieve it, take alook at some of the
2012-model-year limited-edition new cars andtrucks starting to roll intoshowrooms in NorthAmerica even as you readthis.
From subcompacts tonear monster-sized trucks,there hasn’t been thismuch black going on sinceJohnny Cash sang Man InBlack 40 years ago. But un-like the Vietnam-era Cash,there’s nothing sombreabout the black look today.The new black is about cele-
bration, about being cool,classy, mysterious and, ofcourse, bad to the bone.
Fiat Gucci 500
Yes, you read that correctly.With the Fiat 500 barely outof the starting blocks inNorth America, there’s al-ready a new version of themicrocompact that’s funkybut chic.
The designer-themedGucci 500 and 500C will beavailable only in pearles-cent black or white, bothwith Gucci’s green-red-green stripe pattern on theexterior as well as the seat-belts.
Gucci logos and em-blems will be just abouteverywhere on the Fiat, in-cluding the alloy wheels,
headrests, rear hatch and B-pillars. There will be nomistaking that you’re driv-ing the Gucci-ized Fiat 500and not the more pedestri-an base model.
Chevrolet Corvette
Centennial Edition
The yin to the Gucci Fiat’s
yang, the Centennial Edi-tion ‘Vette looks like a mod-ern-day Batmobile,available only in a paintcolour that Chevrolet callsCarbon Flash Metallic, a.k.a.black. Add bright-red brakecalipers and wheel accentsand satin-black graphicsand this is one seriouslymean-looking hot rod.
Interestingly, the Cen-tennial Edition trim pack-age is available on mostCorvette levels.
Ford Harley-Davidson F-150
Since teaming up togetherin 1999, Ford Motor Co. hassold more than 70,000Harley-Davidson-badgedpickup trucks. The new spe-cial-edition F-150 will fea-ture snakeskin leather
interior accents and aggres-sive and distinctive body-side graphics. Under thehood is a 411-horsepower6.2-litre V-8.
Porsche Cayman S
Black Edition
Clearly, black is, well, thenew black. Just ask Germanautomaker Porsche, whichis rolling out its limited-run2012 Cayman S Black Edi-tion.
Among sports cars, thereis none more black thanthe new Cayman: blackbody, black-painted 19-inchBoxster Spyder designwheels, black side air in-take grilles, black exhausttailpipes, black interior,even a black script Caymanlogo on the back.
As long as it’s not a base Corvette, you can get this much black by specifying a Centennial Edition.

Careful planning meansfast-moving models
Stocking the right mer-chandise is always a chal-lenge for anyone in retail.
But it can be eventougher for car dealers,who have to contend withexpensive inventory, annu-al model changes, and cus-tomer demand that canswitch rapidly with suchfactors as fuel price fluctua-tions.
“Dealers make their or-ders based on their knowl-edge of their markets, whatthey know and anticipatetheir customers are goingto want,” says MichaelHatch, chief economist forthe Canadian AutomobileDealers Association.
“Inventory managementis the fine art of being anexperienced car dealer.”
Auto manufacturers maytalk about their “cus-tomers,” but the vast major-
ity of them never sell a ve-hicle directly to the public.Instead, they sell their carsand trucks to independent-ly-owned authorized dealer-ships, which in turn sellthem to consumers.
“Dealers pay for theircars up front,” Hatch says.
“Their inventory (can be)worth tens of millions ofdollars, so they financethrough a bank or financ-
ing partners.” Those vehicles are rack-
ing up interest charges asthey sit on the lot, which iswhy you can often negoti-ate a better deal on onethat’s been in the inventoryfor a while.
The dealer wants to sellit, pay off the bank lien andstop the clock ticking onthe cost of carrying it.
Some people order their
vehicles, specifying themodel, colour and optionsthey want, and then waitfor it to be built and deliv-ered.
But dealers must alsocarry an inventory that al-lows customers to browseor cross-shop, and to takedelivery right away if theyfind the car they want. Ide-ally, a dealer would orderenough to satisfy customerdemand, while havingnone remaining when thenext year’s models comeout.
“It’s difficult to sell 100per cent of your inventoryin a given year,” Hatch says,but adds that having a goodinventory management sys-tem will ensure that almostall are sold in time.
“There will be one ortwo left over. They can’tsend them back (to themanufacturer) so they’ll sitthere until they’re finallysold, or they can be sold onthe secondary market, suchas to a rental car company,fleet managers, or auc-tions.”

THERE ARE GARAGES, AND THERE ARE GARAGE MAHALS
When the wheel wasinvented, a bunch ofguys huddled aroundit. Eventually, one guymumbled “good.” Theothers nodded.
But one guy,still scratchinghis nether re-gions,wondered outloud, “but
where you put at night?” A man couldn’t just leave
his “wheel” lying about,thought this dude, contem-plating the coming ice age,the clumsy wooly mam-moth in the neighbour-hood, and the envious tribe

across the river. He also figured that this
wheel might need to beworked on from time totime, or at least shined up abit. And when this wheelwas looking good, a manwould want to show it tohis buddies. Then hethought these buddiesmight need a beer. So thisguy, this enlightened ances-tor of ours conceived of acave, not far from the fami-ly cave — but far enough —with space enough for awheel or two, a bit of elbowroom for standing around,some shelving, and someelectric outlets, one ofwhich would be used for asmall fridge. Finally, therewould be a big door thatwould swing up into theroof. When he finally got itdone, he brought his bud-dies around. They liked it.They liked it real good.
So began the tradition ofgarages that extend a carguy’s passions. When bigenough, these garages aresometimes known as
Garage Mahals. But they al-so respond to Man Cave,Garage with Cheese, andBig Room with the ReallyLoud Furniture.
Through the years I’vevisited a few, and heardabout some others. Here’s aquick cross-country tour ofmy favourites …
In Chester, N.S., ColinMacDonald has built agarage in the style of an old
train station. It holds over20 vehicles and one reallynice pool table.
One province over, inNew Brunswick, you’ll findDoug MacDonald. An avidCorvette collector, Doug de-cided the best place to storeand display his most pricedexamples (seven in total)would be in the basementof his new house.
The cars are arranged in
a semi-circle and each‘Vette can be pushed outwithout disturbing its sta-ble mates. The ceramic-tilefloor is heated by hot-waterplumbing.
Outside London, Ont.,you’ll find Steven Plunkett,who has a thing for thosebig, classic-era Cadillacs ofthe 1920s and ’30s, andowns more than a few.Guess where he keeps
them? In a huge and beauti-ful building, which evokesthe “art deco” vibe of NewYork’s Waldorf Astoria.Back in the day, the hotelwas often used to debutCadillac’s new models.
His “other” garage holdshis other Cadillacs, about30 of them, and is connect-ed to his house by a 200 me-tre underground tunnel.
In Abbotsford, B.C., AbeSuderman has the coun-try’s largest collection ofWillys vehicles. They all re-side in one building; onesection has the restoredcars, and features a period-correct Willys parts count-er. The other section is forthe less-than-perfect cars,some of which are dis-played in their glorious “asfound in a field” state, suchas the one with the faketree growing out of it.
His muscle cars arehoused in another“garage,” where the interi-or has been rebuilt to re-semble a car dealership ofthe early 1950s.
Cadillac collector Steve Plunkett is pictured in one of his garages.

Common issuesOn a test-drive, note anyunwelcomed vibrationsthrough the steeringwheel, which may becaused by out-of-balancewheels, poor alignment orworn tires. Ensure all doorlocks work properly andtriple check the trunkrelease latch and motorizedtailgate for properoperation in bothdirections, if so equipped.
Hard shifting or engineperformance issues couldbe caused by a faulty pow-ertrain control module, notthe drivetrain itself.
VerdictSmaller and less-thirsty al-ternatives to the QX56 areavailable in the used mar-ket, should this enormousInfiniti’s size and powerprove overkill. Those seton a QX56 should opt for amodel familiar to a sellingInfiniti dealer.
