Don’t take the public out of publiceducation.

That comment from Calgary par-ent Jennifer Andrews and manyothers seemed to resonate with Cal-gary Board of Education trustees,who chose to shelve a proposal thatwould have, among other things,suspended parent and stakehold-er input at public meetings pend-ing further analysis to be complet-ed by the end of February.

“The intention was never to sti-fle public conversation,” saidtrustee chair Pat Cochrane, whoworked on the proposal with twofellow elected representatives.

Other areas of concern includ-ed perceived limitations invokedon individual trustees bringing for-ward notices of motion, and newconfidentiality arrangements con-cerning business conducted by theboard.

The proposed motion to limitpublic engagement for the time

being drew fresh warnings fromAlberta Education Minister ThomasLukaszuk prior to Tuesdayevening’s board meeting. He notedthat he has power to intervene ifhe deems the board is not actingin the best interest of students.

“If these trustees are of the opin-ion that their electorate will appre-ciate them conducting their meet-ings in that fashion, they willreceive their report cards two yearsfrom now,” he said.

Andrews was among five mem-bers of the public to speak at Tues-day’s meeting — the maximumnumber allowed.

Some said the CBE’s current pub-lic engagement process, althoughflawed, is certainly not tedious. Allreporting stakeholders are requiredto limit their presentations to threeminutes and generally no morethan two can address any one sub-ject.

“If you are unwilling to sit thereand allow the public to addresstheir concerns — valid or invalid,justifiable or unjustifiable — youare doing a disservice to democra-cy beyond anything that I canexplain to you,” said speakerLawrence Oshanek.

But not everyone agrees.“This is a meeting of the board

of trustees that is held in public, itis not a public meeting,” saidtrustee Joy Bowen-Eyre.

HappyHolidays!

If you drink, don’t drive.Leave your car in a Cal-gary Parking Authority(CPA) lot overnight, andyou can pick it up by latethe next morning at noextra charge.

Starting this weekend,the CPA is offering cus-tomers who purchasetime until 6:00 a.m. inone of their lots orparkades the opportunityto extend their parkingsession, until 10:00 a.m.,for free.

“It’s a small way tosupport motorists to notdrink and drive,” saidTroy McLeod of the CPA.

“Hopefully it’s a cam-paign that will supportpeople to make otherchoices and leave their ve-hicles with us,” he said.

“If someone’s drunk,you don’t want them driv-ing, and that four hourswill make a difference,”said Phu Tran, who worksdowntown.

Tran says he thinks it’sa helpful initiative, espe-cially for young peoplewho head downtown onthe weekends.

According to McLeod,the parking plan is a trialrun for the holiday sea-son.

Parking grace period extended

Starting this weekend CPA is offering

a four-hour grace period on

Saturday and Sunday mornings in

all their parkades and surface lots.

Facebook tip leads to child-porn chargesProactive efforts by a socialmedia giant have led tochild porn charges againsta Calgary man.

Investigators an-nounced Tuesday that 58-year-old Clement JohnMurray will answer to ac-cusations of accessing, pos-sessing and distributingchild pornography. It is be-lieved Murray used Face-book and his email

account to share the im-ages of under-aged victims.

Members of the Inter-net Child Exploitation unit(ICE) only became aware ofMurray’s alleged activitiesafter staff working forFacebook alerted the Na-tional Child ExploitationCoordination Centre, saidSgt. Steve Lorne.

“They sent us the infor-mation, through that we

initiated the investigationand we did two search war-rants, one at his residenceand another at his place ofbusiness,” Lorne said.“Facebook’s good as far asdoing their due diligencewhen they see images likethat.”

Due to the scope of ma-terial seized, Lorne said itcould take months beforea full picture of Murray’s

alleged crimes is revealed.He added that this in-

stance serves as an impor-tant reminder to parents

to educate their childrenon safe practices when us-ing social media.

Over the holidays CPA willmonitor their lots from 6-10 a.m. in order to see how many people areleaving their vehicles.

Cutting Alberta cities abigger piece of the taxpay-er pie will come with acertain level of expecta-tions, according to Pre-mier Alison Redford.

While the work aroundwhat Redford called a“Big City Charter” has be-gun, she said at a Rotarylunch in Calgary Tuesday“adult conversations” willneed to be had.

“If we start down thispath, then what locallyelected officials need tounderstand is that ifwe’re prepared as aprovincial government ...to say to a city we’re go-ing to give you the abilityto collect revenue, thenthey need to be account-able for their spending,”she said.

Minister of municipalaffairs, Doug Griffiths,said the work he and hisprovincial colleagues aredoing is less about fund-ing and more roles and re-sponsibilities.

“Before you start to dis-

cuss money and say weneed more money, firstlets make sure you’re do-ing everything you needto be doing.”

Mayor Naheed Nenshisaid Monday he welcomesaccountability.

“I dream of a day whenthe provincial and federalgovernments operatetheir budgets with asmuch transparency and asmuch accountability asthe city does,” he said. “Ithink that would be awonderful day, and if shewants some lessons from

me I’m happy to providethem.”

The Calgary campaignis still several hundredthousand dollars short ofits $1-million goal.

As of Dec. 15, Calgarydonations totalled$560,700.

“That means we stillhave $400,000 to come inthe last eight or nine daysof the campaign,” Salva-tion Army Capt. PamGoodyear said.

“We’re up slightly fromlast year. However, we did-n’t reach the $1-milliongoal in 2010, either,” she

said.Last Christmas, the Cal-

gary Fill the Kettle Cam-paign raised $900,000.

The shortage in Calgaryis reflected in the Salva-tion Army’s national cam-paign, which is still $6million short of the $19-million goal.

There are 75 kettlesscattered throughout thecity at shopping malls and

grocery stores. Goodyear says if you’ve

already finished yourChristmas shopping, youcan still donate to yourfavourite kettle by goingto fillthekettle.com.

Yong Kang has played arole in developing vaccinesfor polio and hepatitis B.

Now, the University ofWestern Ontario re-searcher has earned ap-proval from the U.S.government to start hu-man clinical trials on whatcould be a breakthroughvaccination for preventingHIV.

The vaccine — technical-ly named SAV001 — is theresult of nearly 20 yearsworth of work at Westernlabs.

Kang, a molecular virolo-gist, started studying theway HIV reproduces afterlanding in London duringthe early 1990s. About 10years ago, he turned his fo-cus toward developing avaccine — something thathe first thought would be arelatively simply task.

“Turns out, it was a verychallenging problem,” he

said. With the first of three

trial phases set to begin inJanuary, best-case scenariowould see Kang’s producton the market in five years.His vaccine attacks thewhole virus instead of at-tacking bits and pieces,

which is the way vaccinesin previous HIV trialsworked.

The vaccine will be pro-duced at plants in Mary-land and Colorado withfunding from Sumagen.The Korean-based pharma-ceutical company estab-

lished its Canadian head-quarters at Western’s re-search park in 2008 andhas pumped about $50 mil-lion into Kang’s research.

While HIV has been hiskey subject for many years,Kang said there’s no onething that drew him to the

disease, except maybe thenumber of people it affects.

“I like to save lives,” hesaid. “I think we can savemillions.”

Women march during a protest against the crackdown

by authorities on protesters in Cairo Tuesday.

Around 10,000 womenmarched through centralCairo demanding Egypt’sruling military step downTuesday in an unprecedent-ed show of outrage over sol-diers who dragged womenby the hair and stomped onthem, and stripped onehalf-naked in the street dur-ing a fierce crackdown onactivists over the past week.

The dramatic protest,which grew as the womenmarched from TahrirSquare through down-town, was fuelled by thewidely circulated imagesof abuses of women. Manyof the marchers touted thephoto of the young womanwhose clothes were par-tially pulled off by troops,

baring her down to herblue bra, as she struggledon the ground.

“Tantawi stripped yourwomen naked, come joinus,” the crowd chanted topassersby, referring toField Marshal HusseinTantawi, the head of themilitary council that hasruled Egypt since the Feb.11 fall of Hosni Mubarak.“The daughters of Egyptare a red line,” they chant-ed.

“The girl draggedaround is just like mydaughter,” said Um Hos-sam, a 54-year old womanin traditional black dressand a headscarf at Tues-day’s march. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scare tactics

Many accused the military

of intentionally targetingwomen to scare them andtheir male relatives fromjoining protests against thegenerals. Previously, the military hasimplied women who joinedprotests were of loosemorals.In March, soldiers subject-ed detained female protest-ers to humiliating tests todetermine if they were vir-gins.“They want to break theirdignity so that they don’tgo out and protest,” MahaAbdel-Nasser, an engineerwho joined the march, said.

Topless protestersabducted, beatenA Ukrainian organizationof topless women activistssays three of its memberswere abducted by securityofficers during a protestagainst Belarus authoritari-an president, beaten, hu-miliated and left naked ina forest.

The group, called Fe-men, is widely known inUkraine and neighbouringcountries for its demon-strations in which womenbare their breasts to drawattention to an array ofcauses.

A statement on Femen’swebsite Tuesday says thethree were seized byagents of the BelarusianKGB at Minsk’s train sta-tion on Monday evening,several hours after theyheld a protest against Pres-ident AlexanderLukashenko.

Femen said they wereblindfolded and driven in abus to the Gomel region,200 kilometres southeast

of the capital. There, theywere taken to a forest,beaten and forced to un-dress, doused with oil andthreatened with being seton fire. Their captorshacked off their hair withknives and turned themloose in the woods, thegroup said.

The women were able towalk from the forest to anearby village, the state-ment said.

Inflation still high: StatsCan

Grocery prices were up 5.7 per cent in November

compared with a year ago as consumers saw double-digit

increases for such basics as fresh vegetables and bread,

Statistics Canada reported Tuesday.

DANNY JOHNSTON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canada’s annual inflationrate remained stubbornlyhigh at 2.9 per cent lastmonth as Canadians contin-ued to pay considerablymore for food and gasolinethan they had 12 monthsearlier.

Statistics Canada saidTuesday that grocery priceswere up 5.7 per cent in No-vember compared with ayear ago as consumers sawdouble-digit increases forsuch basics as fresh vegeta-bles and bread. The figuresincluded a 1.3 per centjump from October alone.Food prices, includingrestaurant meals, were 4.8per cent higher than a yearearlier, the biggest such in-crease since July 2009, thefederal agency said.

Gasoline also continuedto be a key driver of annualinflation, rising 13.5 percent in November from 12months earlier. However,

gasoline price inflation ison a downward track afterpeaking in May at close to30 per cent. On a month-to-month basis, Canadians ac-tually paid 2.3 per cent lessfor gas in November thanthey did in October.

The high cost of gasolinehelped push the transporta-tion component up 5.7 percent, although that was lessthan the 6.7 per cent gainrecorded in October.

Despite this, the Bank ofCanada has repeatedlystressed that it is not wor-ried about inflation eventhough it has remainedabove the bank’s two percent target for more than ayear. THE CANADIAN PRESS

“I think inflationmay have morestaying powerthan we expect.”DOUGLAS PORTER, BMO DEPUTYCHIEF ECONOMIST

A tense and sometimes con-frontational Piers Morganstood his ground before ajudge-led inquiry into me-dia ethics Tuesday, denyingany connection to illegalphone hacking that has re-sulted in the closure of thenewspaper he once editedand the arrest of friendsand former colleagues.

But the celebrity inter-viewer, who edited theNews of the World Sundayand the Daily Mirror, re-fused to answer questionsabout the damning link be-tween himself and scandal— his 2006 acknowledg-

ment that he had once lis-tened to a poignant phonemessage left by former Bea-tle Paul McCartney for hisex-wife Heather Mills.

Mills has charged thatthere was no honest wayMorgan could have heardthe message — an allega-tion that could prove em-barrassing to CNN, whichbrought the 46-year-oldjournalist on board in Janu-ary to replace Larry King.

Morgan refused to go in-to any detail about the mes-sage. “I’m not going todiscuss where I heard it orwho played it to me,” he

told the inquiry. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Local tweetsRIP FEARLESSHITCHENS

It’s tough, writing an appreci-ation of Christopher Hitchens,the brilliant essayist andauthor of God Is Not Great:How Religion Poisons Every-thing and the memoir Hitch

22, to name a couple.Hitchens died last week, and an impres-

sive array of pundits have tried to punchabove their weight and write aboutHitchens as well as Hitchens wrote abouthimself.

The results have been admirable,although we could do without the manly memoirs fromthose who tried to match the master drink for drink andstay on their barstools. Typical of this school is GraydonCarter, the editor of Vanity Fair, who wrote that after hav-ing more drinks at lunch than most of us have in alifetime at lunch, they stumbled back to the office andHitchens “produced a 1,000-word column of near perfec-

tion in under half an hour.”The other unsettling

thing about the coverage isthat it’s universally by guysabout a guy. Hitchensfamously maintained thatwomen aren’t funny, and asfar as I can tell, mostwomen continue to holdthat against him.

Otherwise, just abouteverything you could eversay, hope to say or imaginethat someone, somedaymight say has been writtenabout Christopher Hitchens.So why bother to add to thepile?

Maybe it’s because, asCarter writes, “you felt as

though he was writing to you and to you alone.” We allhad a front row seat to The Show thanks to Hitchens, whowould tackle any topic on our behalf, from Mother Teresa,whom he detested as the benign, loving face ofoppression, to Holocaust denier David Irving, toleratinghim and his odious outlook in the name of intellectualfreedom.

When you’re a writer, intellectual freedom is your mostprecious resource. Unless you write the truth (as youknow it, in your heart) with complete fearlessness, youare producing weasel poop. At best.

Hitchens was completely fearless. He proved it time andagain, but most of all when he turned his back on the leftto support the U.S. invasion of Iraq, arguing that “Islamo-fascism” is the greatest threat of our time. It started whenthe Ayatollah of Iran put a fatwah (a kind of assassinationcontract with religious trappings) on his good friendSalman Rushdie for writing The Satanic Verses.

If it weren’t three sentences long, this quote about thefatwah from his memoir should be written on his tomb:“It was, if I can phrase it like this, a matter of everything Ihated versus everything I loved. In the hate column: dicta-torship, religion, stupidity, demagogy, censorship, bully-ing and intimidation. In the love column: literature, irony,humour, the individual and the defense of freeexpression.”

Christopher Hitchens, wherever you are, let ’er RIP.

These days itseems thereare almost asmany moviesset in Swedenas there areBilly book-shelves in col-

lege dorms. The original Girl with

the Dragon Tattoo booksand movie series kickedoff a thirst for all thingsScandinavian.

Headhunters, a Norwe-gian noir, was a big hit re-cently at the TorontoInternational Film Festivaland Let the Right One Inplaced vampires against asnowy, stark whiteSwedish backdrop.

This weekend the Amer-

icanized version of GirlWith the Dragon Tattooopens, starring DanielCraig and Rooney Mara inthe roles Swedish super-stars Michael Nyqvist andNoomi Repace made fa-mous. Shot in Sweden, themovie promises open land-scapes, the crunch of snowunderfoot and even theodd fjord.

Suddenly, it seems peo-ple are hungry for moviesfrom Sweden, Norway andDenmark, but there has al-ways been a smorgasbordof cinema available fromthat part of the world.

No discussion of Scandi-navian cinema can be com-plete without mentioningIngmar Bergman. WoodyAllen named him “thegreatest film artist sincethe invention of the mo-tion picture camera,” andFrancis Ford Coppola

called him “my all-timefavourite.”

If you haven’t seen TheSeventh Seal or WildStrawberries, you should;they are both classics. Butyou have undoubtedlyseen movies inspired by orparodying Bergman’swork.

His famous SeventhSeal scene of Death play-ing chess has been mim-icked in everything fromBill & Ted’s Bogus Journeyto Woody Allen’s playDeath Knocks, which fea-tures a man playing ginrummy with Death.

More recently a Norwe-gian mockumenary calledTroll Hunter earned praisefrom critics all over theworld. One writer said thisBlair-Witch-style story ofcave-dwelling trolls andthe government-sponsoredhunters who track them

was “destined to be a clas-sic of its kind.”

Another said, “You’llwant to catch this clevermovie before Hollywoodruins everything with adumb remake.”

Denmark has a thrivingfilm industry. Since 1956they’ve entered 40 flicksfor Best Foreign Film con-sideration at the AcademyAwards.

At last year’s Oscars Su-sanne Bier’s drama In aBetter World beat Cana-da’s entry Incendies totake home Best ForeignFilm.

The best-known Danishfilms of recent years havebeen made by Lars von Tri-er, the distinctive and con-troversial director ofBreaking the Waves andthis year’s Melancholia.As well known for his de-pressed behaviour as he is

THE ADVENTURES OFTINTINGenre: DramaDirector: Steven Spielberg8111⁄2

Based on three of Hergé’soriginal Tintin books, TheAdventures of Tintin is along series of clues strungtogether to form the storyand connect the actionscenes.

But despite the well-loved characters and AndySerkis’s brilliant work, thisis a Steven Spielberg moviethrough and through.

Using a mix of motioncapture and CGI he is final-ly able to recreate the giantset pieces he has alwaysbeen fond of in boldface.

The motorcycle chasethrough a North Africantown, a plane crash in thedesert and a swashbucklingflashback are all spectacu-lar, exhilarating sequences,but they feel more Spielber-gian than Tintin-ian.

I’m not sure if Hergépurists will appreciate the

director’s vision imposedon their beloved charactersbut for everyone else TheAdventures of Tintin isgood, escapist fun.

Toupéed realityTV star DonaldTrump says be-cause LadyGaga per-formed at the2008 Miss Uni-verse pageant,which Trump

owns, he should get all ofthe credit for her success.

“We always have an en-

people, and you don’t paythem anything because it’sone of the biggest audi-ences and my people toldme, ‘Nobody knows whoshe is but there’s thiswoman with good talentnamed Lady Gaga.’

And I said, ‘Give me abreak.’ And then they said,‘She’s really good.’ So I said,‘I don’t care, if you like her,put her on.’”

DESIGN TIPS?

Readevery Thursday.

I moved to Nova Scotia toattend school full-time.Cape Breton University(CBU) has an awesome busi-ness school where I didn’tonly study and learn, but Ialso enjoyed my life morethan I ever had before.

There are many reasonswhy I call my time therethe best days of my life. If Ihave to explain in a fewlines, what I loved the mostwas the super friendlylearning environment,highly qualified teacherswith a lot of experience, thelibrary — such a goodsource of research in physi-cal and electronic forms,the sports complex withmany free-of-cost facilitiesand last but not least myresidence.

When I moved to CapeBreton, I did not know asingle person there. In thebeginning, I was quite con-cerned what my life wouldbe like there without familyand friends.

However, surprisingly,when I left the university, Iknew many people from se-curity guards, café workers,librarians to professors andstudents and I was filledwith good memories fromall of them. Now I am veryblessed to have a big circleof wonderful family andfriends on the other side ofCanada too.

During my last year,with the help of my friends,professors and mentors, Idecided which industry Iwanted to work in. I also re-

ceived some help from myuniversity and differentagencies to fix my resumé.

In the beginning of mylast semester, I started ap-plying for different jobs andI focused on the specific in-dustry I was interested in.

In the first two monthsof my job search, I hardlyreceived any calls for inter-views. It was quite disap-pointing. However, since Ihad started looking early, Ihad enough time to findthe right place in a specific

industry and find the rightjob.

In October 2010, I gradu-ated with an MBA and theValedictorian designationfrom Cape Breton Universi-ty and a few job offers.

I believe schools shouldhave a special program inthe last two semesters ofgraduate studies in order tohelp students figure outwhat they want to do in thefuture. If students have theright plan from the start, ithelps them to get into theright industry too.

I feel many employersare hesitant to give anychance to first-timers. Em-ployers: please considerthem! They are often morehardworking, motivatedand focused than experi-enced ones.

In general, my advice forstudents would be that ouruniversity days won’t comeback. We should have asmuch fun as we can. How-ever, at the same time op-portunity won’t knock onthe door again and again.

We should try to balancegetting good grades, build-ing networks, and enjoyingour time.

Key take-aways from

Aysha’s experience

Travel for school and workwhile you can. It mightseem scary at first, butyou’ll learn and grow a lot!

Plan the next steps in yourcareer or education beforeyou graduate so you’re notstuck with nothing to do.

Try to stay balanced ineverything that you do —success takes hard work,networking and fun.

In particular, my adviceto graduate students wouldbe that they should have aplan in their minds beforetheir graduation.

They should start towork on the plan four to sixmonths ahead of finishingtheir last semester. I under-

stand that it’s hard to findsome spare time in the lastsemester particularly, butwe all have to sacrifice toget something else done.

In the end, hard workpays off and there will be

time to enjoy the dividends.

Aysha Khaliq believes schools should have more programs in place to help

students assess what direction they’d like to head in after graduation.

Where Aysha is now

Before my graduation, I was offered a few positions. Itook my time making a decision and kept the idea ofcareer advancement in my mind. Finally, I accepted apersonal banking officer position at Scotiabank.

Also, before my graduation, I started to look fordifferent volunteer roles in different organizations. Iaccepted a board member role at the Millwoods Fam-ily Resource Center.

I also wanted to improve my public speaking andleadership skills, so I joined Toastmasters in 2010.Since then, I have been working on getting the Com-petent Communicator and Competent Leadershipcertifications.

As well, I am studying for a Personal FinancialPlanner (PFP) certification in order to advance my ca-reer at Scotiabank.

Flames keep Wild corralledCalgary earns crucial win in return to Saddledome ahead of world junior road trip

Jarome Iginla scored the go-ahead goal and also had anassist Tuesday night as a re-turn to home ice helped theFlames get back in the wincolumn with a 2-1 victoryover the Minnesota Wild.

Tied 1-1, Iginla gave theFlames the lead at 6:02 ofthe second period on aspectacular individual ef-fort.

Defenceman DerekSmith fired a shot towardthe net that Josh Hardingstopped, but the rebounddropped at the feet of Iginlaand two Minnesota de-fencemen standing rightbeside him.

The Flames captain out-muscled both Jared Spur-geon and then MarcoScandella to corral theloose puck and thenknocked it past Harding forhis team-leading 13th goal.

Curtis Glencross with his11th goal also scored forCalgary (15-15-4), whichwas fresh off a four-gameroad trip.

The game was a show-down between two strug-gling, depleted teams, each

on identical four-game win-less skids.

In contrast to their roadstruggles, the Flames con-tinue to play well at homewhere they’re unbeaten intheir last seven.

Pierre-Marc Bouchardscored the lone goal forMinnesota (20-10-5). TheWild have lost eight of theirlast 10 away from home.

Minnesota continues tolead the Northwest Divisionby three points over Van-couver, despite being miredin its worst slump of the

season.Minnesota tied the game

1-1 at 6:10 of the first peri-

od off a faceoff win in theFlames end.

Matt Cullen beat OlliJokinen on the draw, get-ting the puck to Spurgeon.The Wild defenceman tooka sharp-angle shot that hitBouchard in front and thendropped to his feet wherehe was able to sweep thepuck behind Miikka Kipru-soff.

Calgary took advantageof an early defensive lapsein taking a 1-0 lead 2:47 in-to the game.

Iginla sent a short pass to

Glencross cruising throughthe slot, and Glencross con-tinued to the net un-touched where he sent ahigh backhand into the topcorner.

It was the first goal forthe Flames against Min-nesota on home ice in over128 minutes.

Kiprusoff made 29 savesfor the Flames after givingup nine goals in his previ-ous two starts, while Hard-ing made 28 saves for theWild. THE CANADIAN PRESS

CargoThe interior has been given theupdate treatment, providing a slightlyenlarged passenger area but at the ex-pense of slightly reduced cargovolume.

This time, though, maximizing theload floor is a snap with the new fold-down rear seat that operates byflipping a pair of levers located just in-side the tailgate.

Subtle changes are sometimes the best: reorganizing a few lines at the back creates this dramatic profile.

Calling all cool moms;your new fourth-genera-tion Honda CR-V chariotawaits.

Of course Honda’s popu-lar tall wagon isn’t just foractive women with tod-dlers in tow, but accordingto the automaker, the“cool moms” segmentmakes up, or significantlyinfluences, the largest por-tion of CR-V buyers. They,along with others seekinga roomy ride with all-weather, all-road capabili-ty, will appreciate thevehicle’s car-like behav-iour and economical oper-ation.

CR-V devotees will noteasily spot the latest ver-sion of Honda’s compact

“cute ute” since it closelymirrors the outgoing ver-sion in all key exterior di-mensions. What’s more,the general shape remainsonly moderately tinkered-with, including updatednose and tail section plus amore dramatically shapedrear roof pillar that intro-duces a bit more drama tothe vehicle’s styling. Hon-da claims that the new CR-V’s shape, along withmodifications to the un-dercarriage to increase airflow, has reduced fuel-rob-bing aerodynamic drag byeight per cent.

Honda seems contentwith not rocking the boatwith its latest CR-V, per-haps sensing that the timeisn’t quite right to intro-duce a totally clean-sheetdesign. The cool-momcrowd would likely agree.

Resculptednot recreated

The opening is wide and the load floor is deeper and

extends 1.5 metres forward, but you’ll have to wiggle,

shimmy and wedge items around the bulbous trim panels

for the wheel housings.

The green button to the left of the steering wheel is

“ECON,” which optimizes the transmission and air

conditioning for maximum fuel economy, providing you’re

driving in a thrifty manner.

MALCOLM GUNNDRIVE@METRONEWS.CAWHEELBASE MEDIA

Fuel consumptionFuel consumption has improved to 9.0 l/100km city and 6.4 highway for front-wheel-dri-ve models (formerly 10.5/7.3). All-wheel-dri-ve models are rated at 9.2 l/100 km city and6.6 highway (previously 10.1/7.5).

The improvements are attributed to anew anti-friction coating for the pistons, afaster-activating on-demand AWD system aswell as a revised five-speed automatic trans-mission.

Engine, steeringGetting CR-V owners to work, the gym, or thedaycare is a revised 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine thatmakes 185 horsepower and 163 pound-feet oftorque, which is slightly more than the previous 2.4.

From observation, Honda engineers have largelysucceeded at smoothing out the CR-V’s ride and cre-ating a quieter interior. On the down side, the newlyinstalled “Motion-Adaptive” electric power-assistedsteering (called EPAS) feels a bit numb, especiallywhen driving straight down the highway.

CAR JOURNEYS PART OF THE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE

It’s perfectly finethat the vehicle’smain role duringthe holidays is help-ing us get to wherewe want to be, like

with our families, orextremely far away fromour families where there isalso a good beach.

We don’t need to startstringing lights on everyFord Taurus, or going witheggnog-flavoured 5W30 en-gine oil over the holidays.

That would be forcing itif you ask me — like attach-ing fake antlers to a cat.

Like everybody, my mostvivid memories of drivingto a family Christmas eventoccurred when I was a kid,when Christmas was fever-ishly crucial.

Unfortunately the drivesthat stick out the mostwere the long ones to myuncle’s farm up north.

Back then I routinely gotcar sick, so I remember afew times standing besidethe car in the snow onsome back road, in fullpuke mode. Hey, not everymemory has to be a stupen-

dously good one. The im-portant thing is thatthey’re memorable enoughto lodge in your memoryfor the long haul.

Christmas Eve 17 yearsago, when our daughterwas just a year old, westayed overnight at mymother’s home, the ances-tral bungalow in the sub-urbs. As usual, the kidrefused to go to sleep at theappointed time — a habitshe manages to maintainto this day. When she was

still screaming well pastmidnight, I did what all fa-thers do under such cir-cumstances — buckled herinto the car seat, and drovearound aimlessly until she

fell asleep. Driving around my old

hometown, in the dead qui-et of Christmas night, deco-rations and lightseverywhere, daughter in

the back slowly fallingasleep, well … it wasn’t theworst half hour I ever spentbehind the wheel.

These days we have tomake a relatively short runon Christmas Eve, about anhour door to door.

Simple, right? And withno chance of vomit?

Well, thankfully nauseais no longer in the picture,but things are far from sim-ple. Trying not to forgetand pack every present, try-ing to leave on time with

four people with four dif-ferent agendas, and tryingto properly secure a broc-coli casserole and Greeksalad somewhere in thecargo area, is exhaustiveand tricky stuff.

But that’s precisely whythere is such euphoriawhen we’re finally on ourway. Nothing left to do butenjoy the ride, hope thereis no Feta cheese disaster inthe trunk, and look for-ward to the festivities thatwill soon unfold.

Chances are your vehicle will be involved in some sort of memory you create during the holidays.

ISTOCK

Not every memory has to be a

stupendously good one. The

important thing is that they’re

memorable enough to lodge in your

memory for the long haul.

Hyundai XG delivered affordable luxury2001-2005 Hyundai XG350

SECONDGEAR

JUSTIN PRITCHARDDRIVE@METRONEWS.CA

Like the Azera and Gene-sis that came after it, theHyundai XG350 aimed togive shoppers a cut-pricetaste of the automotivehigh-life.

Sure, it’s a cheap Kore-an knock-off luxury car,but in a good way.

Hyundai created a luxu-rious atmosphere,installed plenty ofhardware and priced theentire thing for therelative masses. Engine

Look for a 3.5-litre V-6 en-gine, automatic transmis-sion and front-wheel drive in allmodels — other than the 2001.

For that year, the car was calledthe XG300, due to its smaller 3-litre,190-horsepower V-6.

Common issuesSeveral owners report nig-gling electronic andsensor-related issues, soensure all accessoriesfunction as expected andlook for any “CheckEngine” or “Airbag/SRS”lights in the instrumentcluster.

Note the engine’sperformance, particularlywhen accelerating from astop. Some owners reportinconsistent responsesfrom the throttle, rangingfrom “lurching” off theline to a lack of power.This may be accompaniedby trouble codes or acheck-engine light.

VerdictThe main draw to the XG350as a used car should be itsprice. Have the vehicleinspected by a Hyundai me-chanic and spend a bit of thecost savings on the extendedwarranty, if available.

What ownerslikeOwners like the XG’sride, interior styling, comfort lev-els and generous equipment list.Few reported issues with interiorroominess or trunk space. Stylingwas also typically rated highly.

What ownersdislikeCommon complaintsinclude road noise, a diminstrument panel and sub-paraudio components.

Fuel mileage is also ratedsomewhat poorly.
