Let the games begin
BY KIM [email protected]
You are invited to an informa-tion session tomorrow night where you will hear from the Ontario Lot-tery and Gaming Corporation (OLG)and market research firm Pollara on bringing a casino to Vaughan.
The meeting is hosted by the city and runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Hotel Novotel Vaughan, Concord Room, 200 Bass Pro Mills Dr.
The OLG has included a portion of Vaughan in one of 29 prelimi-nary gaming zones, where so-called “gaming facilities” exist or are to be allowed.
Earlier this year, council asked that a consultation process aimed at assessing the interest and sup-port of establishing a gaming facility in Vaughan as part of a world-class cultural and entertainment district be undertaken.
ISSUE: CASINO
This information card asking Vaughan voters to vote for anybody but the Liberals in the Sept. 6 provincial byelection appears to have been mailed to homes in Woodbridge and possibly elsewhere in Vaughan. The back of the card carries excerpts from a Citizen editorial criticizing former Vaughan Liberal MPP Greg Sorbara for stepping down just 10 months after being elected, when he promised to serve out the entire term of office. The Citizen was not, in any way, involved in its production or distribution.
BY ADAM [email protected]
Every election, voters in Vaughan are inundated with brochures, pam-phlets and letters from political par-ties or organizations endorsing can-didates or opposing them.
Some of these advertisements are done in accordance with election laws, while others are not.
The Sept. 6 provincial byelection was no different, but this time The Citizen was unwittingly dragged into the fray.
An unsigned, two-sided infor-mation card attacking the Liberals was mailed to homes in the Wood-bridge area and possibly elsewhere in Vaughan.
On one side of the card appear the words Vaughan Citizen Editorial

Record stores may be scarce in Vaughan, but there’s no bet-ter time than now to get out to places like HMV at Vaughan Mills for some great new music.
There is a bumper crop of albums coming out through-out September from artists such as Bob Dylan, The Killers, costumed Canadian DJ dead-mau5, No Doubt, Mumford & Sons, Green Day, and so many more. I’ll post a list up at Face-book.com/ROCKthusiast.
Another Canuck with an anticipated release is Carly Rae Jepsen, although I think we’ve all had enough of her song, Call Me Maybe.
Don’t forget the always-open iTunes, which is where you can get your hands on the new EP by Vaughan alt-rockers Stuck on Planet Earth, called Play Along.
Give their power ballad-y breakup song Another a sample at StuckonPlanetEarth.com.
Your earbuds will thank you.

The Seniors’ Association of Vaughan Initiative (S.A.V.I.) will present its 9th annual Seniorsfest Sunday, Sept. 16 at the Veneto Centre, 7465 Kipling Ave., in Woodbridge.
About 1,300 seniors from across the city are expected to gather for a day of celebra-tion.
This annual event brings together seniors of various ethnic backgrounds to share the diversity of their cultures in a fun environment.
“The committee makes every effort to ensure that the program for the day is diverse and entertaining,” S.A.V.I. president Isabella Ferrara said. “This year we have again invited our mem-bers to participate in a dance competition which will be judged by members of City of Vaughan council.”
As always, seniors are encouraged to contribute to the Vaughan Food Bank.
Over the years, S.A.V.I. has set, and continues to hold, the record for the largest amount of food collected in a one-day event.
The event kicks off at 10 a.m., followed by friendly, competitive games and entertainment.
The Man’s Best Friend Show is on the lookout for vendors interested in catering to about 200 pet owners at Vaughan’s first annual show for every pet.
The rain or shine event is hoping to attract between 30 and 40 vendors for the trade show at Mackenzie Glen Dis-trict Park, 220 Cranston Park, in Maple on Sept. 22.
Visitors and their pets will not only be able to socialize with owners, but also count-less other pets and interact with the nearby splash pad, leash-free dog parks for small and large pups and “pamper-ing stations”.
On top of that, the inau-gural event will also feature a York Regional Police K9 Unit demonstration and City of Vaughan animal shelter booth along with vets, dog walkers and trainers.
The free admission event will have animal inspired events, giveaways and prizes.
Vendors are asked to call 905-264-8703 for more infor-mation.

Vaughan schools can apply for a chance to win a $20,000 outdoor classroom from Majesta, Tree Canada and Focus on Forest.
The Majesta Trees of Knowledge competition is back for a third year to help schools win a $20,000 out-door classroom.
Since last year, the trio have been helping schools take learning outdoors, and now even more schools will have the opportunity to bring their projects to life with additional prizes available for schools that finish 2nd, 3rd and 4th and for the school that shows the most creativity in rallying support.
To apply, visit majestatree-sofknowledge.ca and enter before January 13, 2013.
From all the submissions, 10 finalist schools will be chosen by a panel of judges based on the strength and sustainability of their plan, the impact the classroom will have on the school and com-munity and how the school will drive support for their project.
The public will vote online for their favourite school to determine the winners.
Plans for a proposed gas pipeline south of Hwy. 407 in Vaughan, Markham and Rich-mond Hill are moving ahead.
Enbridge Inc. announced a $600-million financial com-mitment for the new GTA pipeline project Thursday.
The 22-kilometre pipe-line crossing York Region and south to Scarborough is part of two sections totalling 47 km. The expansion will upgrade the existing system that deliv-ers natural gas to the three southern York municipalities as well as Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga.
The last time Enbridge expanded its system in the area was 20 years ago. Since then, the company’s custom-ers have doubled to 1.9 mil-lion.
The company received positive input from residents following three public open houses. Despite natural gas leaks and damage to pipe-lines, most people have no issues with the location of the proposed pipeline. An environmental report is to be completed this month.

BACK TO SCHOOL
IS YOUR RESP IS YOUR RESP KEEPING UPKEEPING UP WITH THE COST WITH THE COST OF TUITION?OF TUITION?
Saving for a child’s post-secondary education is a priority for a number of Canadian parents, but with tuition on the rise, many may be wondering how much they should save.
According to Statistics Canada, undergraduate tuition reached a nationwide high of $5,366 in 2011, peaking the highest in Ontario at $6,640. Factoring in the cost of books, food, rent and other living expenses, a student may need well above $10,000 a year. If recent trends are any indication, those costs are likely to increase.
“Most parents want to help their kids get a solid fi nancial start in life, and a key part of that is avoiding as much student debt as possible,” said Tom Hamza, president of Investor Education Fund, a Canadian non-profi t organization dedicated to fi nancial literacy and education. “But to make sure your savings go as far as possible, fi gure out how much it’s going to cost, set a realistic savings goal and start saving as soon as you can.”
Hamza recommends breaking the process down into steps:
Determine how much one year of school – all expenses in – will cost
Since costs can vary, use IEF’s university cost and debt calculator (web location below), which estimates the cost based on university and degree choice, and also factors in other costs, such as transportation, rent, food, entertainment, etc.
If you haven’t already, open a registered education savings plan
(RESP) account as soon as possible
An RESP allows your savings to grow tax free and the government provides grants to help boost your savings. To get the annual maximum grant of $500, you need to contribute $2,500 by December 31st each year.
Contribute to your RESP regularly
The costs of college or university will vary depending on your child’s choice of program and school and whether your child lives away or at home. Crunch the numbers with IEF’s RESP calculator for an estimate of how much you’ll need to save every year until your child graduates high school.

You have a new place to turn for York Region tourism and entertain-ment news.
The new yorkscene.com will attract 20,000 unique visitors each month in its first year of operation, York Region Arts Council executive
director Nancy Bodi said.A tourism partnership between
the arts council, region and York Region Media Group, the website was showcased to the region’s plan-ning and economic development committee Wednesday.
“We want to encourage local con-sumption of our tourism assets,” Ms
Bodi said. “There’s a strong demand for a centralized portal.”
The existing YorkScene site is developed by the arts council, Ms Bodi told the committee.
The new YorkScene will enhance the York Region brand and develop emotional ties with residents, she said.
Region aims to raise $400K
York Regional Police and munic-ipal staff hope to raise a record $400,000 goal for their 2012 Unit-ed Way employee campaign. York Region chairperson and chief exec-utive officer Bill Fisch said most of York’s 1.1 million residents are
doing well. For those in need, how-ever, United Way of York Region has been a significant and consistent source of help and hope.
The region’s campaign theme was also unveiled. “There’s a hero in all of us” is the campaign slogan, reinforced by “Helping MY com-munity, MY way.”

VAUGHAN CITIZEN
E D I T O R I A L
lthough Premier Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals won the byelection in Vaughan handily, albeit by a notice-
ably reduced margin, the beating they took in the Kitchener-Waterloo byelection the same evening should send the premier a strong warning.
The Liberals fell far short in try-ing to win the Kitchener-Waterloo seat Mr. McGuinty had opened up in hopes of regaining a majority.
Coupled with what we were hearing from a lot of voters in Vaughan on byelection night, the Liberal setback in Kitchener-Water-loo suggests people are becoming disillusioned with the long-serving premier and aren’t quite sure what to make of him.
“I can’t stand them and I used to be a die-hard Liberal,” Louie Fal-cone, a Vaughan voter whose wife is a teacher, told The Citizen on bye-lection night.
“They made them (teachers) out to be the bad guys and they’re not.”
That pretty well tells the story.A leader such as Mr. McGuinty
develops “brand” over the years. If he suddenly tampers with that brand, he can expect to find him-self in big trouble, and that’s exactly what Mr. McGuinty has done.
The result is that we heard in this byelection a level of anger against him that was nowhere to be found in the last three provincial elections.
If people had been asked before this spring to sum up Mr. McGuinty in a single phrase, they probably would have been likely to say some-thing like “nice, decent guy”.
He may not have been consid-ered outstandingly brilliant or very charismatic, but he was “Premier Dad”, a steady, reliable, fair-minded guy.
The other part of the brand Mr. McGuinty methodically built up for himself was that of “Education Pre-mier”, a great friend of the teachers and a leader determined to bring harmony to the education scene after the deliberate turmoil of the Harris years.
By the radically different course he has adopted since last spring, Mr. McGuinty has suddenly blown both parts of that image to bits.
In his treatment of Ontario’s teachers and their unions, he has come across as nothing short of a bully — a far cry from the “nice guy” to which people have been accus-
tomed.And in behaving, from the outset,
in his dealings with the teachers in this round of contract negotiations in a deliberately confrontational manner that has brought unexpect-ed tension and unhappiness to the education scene, Mr. McGuinty has made the public wonder what has suddenly become of the “Education Premier”, who regarded teachers as his great friends and had them and their unions as loyal supporters in turn.
It might have been different if the premier had personally met with the teachers at the start of this round of contract negotiations, assured them of his continued appreciation of their work and of his support for them, apologized for what Ontario’s difficult economic circumstances were temporarily forcing him to do, and pleaded as a friend for their understanding and forgiveness.
But, far from that, the stance he took from the outset was weirdly one of treating them aloofly from a distance as greedy people who weren’t satisfied with the gains they had made over the years and try-ing very unfairly to turn the public against them.
It appears Ontario’s voters, including the people of Vaughan, aren’t quite sure who Mr. McGuinty is now. Frankly, neither are we.
It may well be that he has a very short window to clear that up and return to being the premier who people felt comfortable in trusting in three straight elections or the message sent in these byelections may be just the beginning of his troubles.
No more Mr. Nice Guy?

HAVE YOUR SAY
Don’t mess with LCBO success
Re: It’s time for corner store liquor, editorial, Aug. 16.
I found your argu-ments for putting liquor and beer in corner stores to be short-sighted and narrowly conceived.
Yes, the province makes a profit from the LCBO. However, the province has a $15-billion deficit. To kill the LCBO would add $1.5 billion annually, leading to an increase in taxes for everyone.
Secondly, the argument that corner store owners are responsible is pretty weak. We have seen how responsible some stores have been in scamming the lottery corporation for decades and now you want to give them alcohol? They can hardly police the selling of tobacco to minors.
The LCBO is the one of the largest purchasers of alcohol in the world. As such, it can leverage sup-
pliers for lower rates on spirits. It has some of the lowest purchasing costs in the world. Having indi-vidual stores and chains trying to negotiate with suppliers will lead to less choice at higher prices.
You state there has been no increase in sales of alcohol to minors in Alberta. You fail to men-tion the increase in crime and number of armed robberies of convenience stores selling alcohol.
The Fraser Institute reports Calgary witnessed an increase in shoplift-ing and commercial rob-beries corresponding with the privatization of liquor stores, along with an increase in drinking and driving offences and alcohol-related domestic disputes.
The institute noted: “The bulk of empirical studies generally sup-port our hypothesis that unrestricted free markets increase alcohol con-sumption while public monopolies restrict con-sumption.”
Finally, the LCBO does a fantastic job manag-ing this business. Limit-ing the number of stores limits options for people with drinking problems and both Brewers and the LCBO have demonstrated an efficacy in this area.
Their stores are clean, well stocked with a great variety of products, offer good hours and friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Privatization will lead to higher prices, less choice, more taxes, greater availability for people at risk, a probable increase in drinking and driving and domestic disputes and sketchy operators in charge of a potentially harmful drug. But we’ll be able to buy our potato chips at the same time.
MICHAEL ST. GEORGERICHMOND HILL
Editor’s note: The edito-rial didn’t advocate for the demise of the LCBO, but that convenience stores should also be permitted to sell beer and wine.

Ride for Karen raises $200K
Riders make their way out of the gate during the start of the 25-km family ride, part of the the Ride for Karen charity bicycle day at St. Joan of Arc in Vaughan. For more photographs from the event, visit yorkregion.com.
Cyclists taking part in the 11th annual Ride for Karen fundraiser wheeled in more than $200,000 to help send children suffering from cancer to camps, according to organizers.
The Sunday ride drew cycling enthusiasts from across the province to Vaughan and saw them depart from the city to roll through Caledon, King, the Holland Marsh and East Gwillimbury.
Markham brothers Kirk and Kris Tobias launched the fundraiser to honour their mother, Karen, who died from cancer in 2002.
They started out with a few friends heading out for a long bike ride to help clear their heads after their loss.
Today, the event has raised almost $2 million.“The truth is, everyone has a Karen. Even at the very
end of her life, our mother was dedicated to others. Karen wanted to improve the quality of life of cancer patients by improving hope and the Ride for Karen is a way to build this hope,” Kirk said. “As a cancer patient, our mom knew that hospitals were a hard place to spend a lot of time, especially for a child, which is why Ride for Karen raises money to give them memorable experienc-es through recreational activities at camp. Kids deserve the opportunity to enjoy just being kids and, every year, we work hard to make this happen.”
This year’s ride featured a century (160-kilometre) ride for advanced cyclists, a 100-km ride for the interme-diate ones, 25-km for recreational riders and a kids ride.
Money raised wll go to Camp Quality Canada, Camp Oochigeas and Camp Trillium.

Developments are ongoing after a 30-man brawl led to the “shock” killing of an Iraqi immigrant outside a late-night Vaughan venue 52 days ago.
Investigators with York Regional Police are seeking the public’s help in speaking with two women captured on video surveillance at the Al-Finjan nightclub, at Hwy. 27, near Hwy. 7, before the July 22 stabbing Evan Gorgees.
The release of photos comes more than a month after Azize Sepan was charged with the murder of the North York resident.
He, like Mr. Gorgees, relocated to Canada to escape violence in his native land.
His time in Canada was successful after the 48 year old opened at least three conve-nience stores and a flower shop.
The Vaughan resident also worked with World Vision to bring at least 100 of his coun-trymen to Canada.
Mr. Gorgees, 29, who was also an Iraqi-Christian, otherwise known as Assyrian, had approximately 3,000 people and dignitaries turn out to his funeral.
After the charge, prominent Vaughan Assyrian and publisher Ashoor Sada said everyone had been shocked by the incident.
At the time he told The Citizen: “There are lots of divisions between ethnic groups back home. But Christian on Christian? That’s unheard of. The first words that come to mind — shock and disbelief.”
Mr. Sepan, who is charged with second-degree murder, is due in Newmarket court for his fifth appearance Sept. 19.
If you have information, call police at 1-866-287-5025 or 905-773-1221, ext. 7865, or e-mail [email protected].

Scion has just released the FR-S and given sports car enthusiasts a reason to get excited.
The FR-S stands for Front engine, Rear wheel drive, Sports. The FR-S has a
2.0 litre, four cylinder boxer engine. A combination of Subaru’s horizontally opposed engine and Toyota’s cutting edge D-4S injection system produces an estimated 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque.
Not only is this car tuned to growl, but its interior will
reignite your passion for driving. The bucket seats are extremely low to the ground, keeping you connected to the road. Everything you need to enjoy the ride is at your fi ngertips. Monitor your engine power with the centre mounted tachometer
and watch your speed with both digital and analog gauges.
The steering wheel is tuned at an optimal angle and provides smooth steering. Put the pedal to the medal with aluminum pedals, which give a sporty feel and ease of operation.
As you drive down the road, don’t be surprised if heads turn to follow you. The car’s low stance exaggerates its
menacing face – with sharp lines, a wide mouth and angular headlights. The aerodynamic design was inspired by the Toyota 2000GT, with a sleek and low roof line and hood. The fl ared fenders highlight the 17 alloy wheels and performance tires.
Even with its designed for performance engine and styling, the FR-S is also chock full of safety features, including six air bags and tire pressure monitoring systems. It has Scion’s Star Safety System™, which includes Smart Stop Technology, Vehicle Stability Control, Anti-lock Brake System, Traction Control, Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Brake Assist.
Drive in comfort with standard air conditioning, eight speaker audio, two 12-volt power outlets, keyless entry and more.

Story and photos by Rob Beintema,Metroland Newspapers/WheelsTalk.com -It was more than just sound.
There was a pulsing vibration to the noise; a physical quality beyond hearing that seemed to back the bellowing roar, making a broader assault on the senses, a sound only slightly mellowed by distance.
Journalists seemed to falter in their tracks, heads came up, and pens stopped and hovered over score sheets. There’s usually one showstopper at every AJAC Car of the Year competition, one vehicle that makes everyone pause and take notice.
We should, by rights, be a jaded bunch. But I think it’s the love of all things automotive that allow us to remain eagerly and easily distracted.
Distracted, for example, by vehicle forms that somehow shape styling lines with almost sensual allure. Or by a tactile interior that leaves you almost sedated and dopey, lingering in luxury and leather. Or by the more adrenalized harmonies of high performance horsepower, the siren call of moaning engine and exhaust.
Like the roar that was coming from somewhere out there on the test track. Okay, not the fi rst brand name you’d associate with the passing roar of racetrack traffi c, but this was the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, the most powerful Jeep ever and the fastest non-turbo sport ute in Canada.
The Jeep brand made its bones with battle-proven off-road prowess so, at fi rst, the idea of a track-ready version seems about as ludicrous as the thought of stuffi ng a shot-putter into spandex and putting him on the blocks for a 100-metre sprint.
But count on the performance creds of Chrysler’s Street and Racing Technology (SRT) team to tweak the formula for this second generation version of Jeep’s ultimate performer.
The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 harnesses an all-new 6.4-litre Hemi V8 making 470 hp and 465 lb/ft of torque – an improvement of 50 horsepower and 45 lb/ft of torque over the 6.1-litre Hemi V8 it replaces in the previous SRT8 version.
An active intake manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing delivers maximum low-end torque and power across a wider rpm range, with 90-percent of peak torque available between 2,800 and 6,000 rpm.
That kind of power allows for a 0-100 km/h time of under fi ve seconds, a quarter mile run in mid-13 second range and a top speed of over 250 km/h (160 mph).
Those numbers certainly encouraged a re-acquaintance with the Jeep SRT8 but it was another set of numbers that I was more worried about.
A test session with the SRT8 is sort of like dating a supermodel. There’s a lot of potential upside to the experience. You’re just not sure your wallet will survive the excitement.
Those dimensional increases, added structural stiffness and a host of dynamic technologies – SRT-tuned adaptive damping, stability control, an electronic limited slip differential, improved rack & pinion steering – make this 2012 SRT8 the best handling Jeep vehicle ever – capable of .90 g on the skid pad.
Inside, the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 combines race-inspired technology and SRT-exclusive appointments. There are SRT cues a-plenty, an all-new, leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel with paddles and fl attened bottom surface, Nappa leather and suede heated seats in front and back, a mind-blowing 825 watt, 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and other standard and available features, too numerous to mention.
It’s a pretty complete package, more refi ned than its predecessor, which has inevitably led to whining from some loyalists who preferred the raw edges of the original. Yeah, well, this one is a lot easier to live with.

Customer Appreciation Event at Pine View HyundaiThis Saturday, Pine View Hyundai in Woodbridge is hosting a Customer Appreciation Event, and everyone is invited.
The purpose of this special event is two-fold: It will serve as a ‘thank-you’ to the dealership’s many customers and to the Woodbridge community for its ongoing support; and it’s also meant to showcase the re-branded Hyundai facility.
In 2010, the Pine View Auto Group purchased a Hyundai franchise, which today operates out of the same premises as the former Pine View Pontiac, at the corner of Hwy 7 and Weston Road. The dealership recently completed a major renovation to re-brand the facility to Hyundai standards.
With its sprawling façade of glass, its ergonomically designed showroom and workstations, and its clean symmetry, the gleaming new facility is a symbol of excellence for one of the world’s most successful automotive brands. Pine View Hyundai offers state-of-the-art equipment, acres of display space, plus a 38,000 sq. ft. building, which is uniquely laid out to focus on customer satisfaction and ease of use. In the past 20 years, Hyundai has become one of the world’s leading automotive brands and earned many awards for quality, performance, design and safety.
The Customer Appreciation Event will feature a full day of prizes, incredible deals on new and pre-owned vehicles, great food and entertainment. A Hyundai Accessories Booth will be set up, as well as a Winter Tire Clinic. The dealership will be offering gift vouchers for Oil and Filter Changes for only $29.95.
Visitors will also be able to view some of the new 2013 Hyundai models, including the fully-redesigned 2013 Santa Fe. This popular, mid-size crossover features a 12-way power driver seat, heated and cooled front seats, LED forward accent lights, rear window blinds, 40/20/40 folding rear, seats, panoramic sunroof, colour touch screen 8-inch GPS navigation system and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Pine View Hyundai is proud to be a community-based dealership. The company is actively involved in the Woodbridge community and supports many non-profi t initiatives and local events, including the Children’s Literacy Fund, the Woodbridge Italian Festival, McDonald’s McHappy Day and several amateur sports teams.
“We’re looking forward to a great turnout for this Customer Appreciation Event,” says Frank Romeo, President of Pine View Hyundai. “We’re excited to be representing the Hyundai brand and to be working out of this newly-renovated facility. We think that our customers will be impressed with this facility, too.”
The Customer Appreciation Event takes place on Saturday September 15th, from 10 am to 5 pm.

Genesis Coupe gets more muscle for 2013By Neil Moore,Metroland Media/Wheelstalk.com -
Hats off to Hyundai.
Not just for adding a true rear-drive sportscar to their ever expanding lineup, but for fi xing something that didn’t suck.
I’ve heard little griping about the Genesis Coupe since it bowed in 2009 as a 2010 model, but the Korean automaker has, to their credit, seen fi t to make more than just a few styling tweaks – like faux hood intakes, redesigned grille, LED daytime running lights and taillights – for 2013.
They’ve added serious muscle. Let’s start with the top-trim 3.8 GT, which sells for $36,999 with six-speed manual or $38,799 with a new eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
This is the only Genesis Coupe that gets V6 power, and for 2013, the DOHC 3.8-litre Lambda engine benefi ts from gasoline direct injection (GDI), delivering a gain of 42 hp and 29 lb/ft of torque. This bumps peak horsepower to an impressive 348, and peak torque to 295 lb/ft.
These ratings assume you’re willing to pony up the extra for premium fuel, but if you’re thrifty like me and willing to give
up a few points, the Lambda will run just fi ne on regular – thanks to its anti-knock technology.
However impressive the numbers, it is still more a question of power-to-weight, and that’s where the Genesis shines. The Coupe beats not only high-priced import competitors such as Infi niti G37 and BMW 335i, but also domestics like the V6-powered Mustang, Camaro and Challenger.
The Genesis 3.8 will also sprint from zero to 100 km/h in just over fi ve seconds, but keep in mind that any tire slippage will wake up the traction control and cut power to the rear wheels. Fortunately, the 2013 Coupe now offers three-stage driver-selectable electronic stability control, so you need not completely abandon the safety nannies to have a little fun.
In stage one, everything is full-on: both traction control and stability control. Stomp the throttle while going around a corner and the system will shut down the rear wheels before you even crack a smile.Stage two provides a little braking if the back end steps too far out, but otherwise allows enough wheelspin for those who enjoy that kind of thing.
In a safe, controlled environment, of course.
And for those who want to push it a little harder on the track, stage three disables the works, allowing you to drift at will. Believe me, the 3.8-litre Coupe has no problem lighting up the tires and going sideways around a corner, I just wouldn’t recommend it on our public roadways.
Another tweak to the Lambda V6 is an acoustically-tuned pathway that pipes engine sound from the intake to the passenger cabin. I enjoy the snarl, but if you’re looking for a
quiet ride, this ain’t it.
Indeed, the V6 is potent, but the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine is no slouch either. Especially now that it has an exhaust manifold-integrated twin-scroll turbocharger and a larger intercooler. This serves to reduce turbo lag and improve combustion effi ciency.
This Theta II DOHC inline four-cylinder now puts out a robust 274 hp and 275 lb/ft of torque (on premium fuel), up from 210 and 223 in the current model.

pEven the latter specs, at least when the Coupe debuted, seemed pretty good when compared to the Tiburon it replaced. In its last model year, the 2008 Tib’s little 2.7-litre V6 only managed 172 hp and 181 lb/ft, and the 2.0-litre four only 138 and 136.
Like its V6 sibling, the new 2.0T can take regular fuel. Its anti-knock sensors automatically adjust ignition timing and engine mapping to run smoothly, and with only a slight drop in performance.
It’s obviously not as quick as the 3.8 Coupe, and launch is a bit soft until the turbo spools up to around 2,000 rpm. But that’s to be expected with an automatic transmission – even the new eight-speed (an $1,800 option) as fi tted to my tester.
If you want a sportier experience, order the six-speed manual – or better yet, the 2.0T R-Spec that, like the 3.8 GT, also includes a fi rmer track-tuned suspension and Torsen limited-slip differential.
In these performance-oriented models, front and rear spring rates are higher, and stabilizer bars are thicker for less body roll in hard cornering. I didn’t drive the R-Spec, but my 3.8 GT was noticeably fi rmer than the 2.0 Premium I tested a week earlier, yet its ride was not harsh.
Two transmissions are now shared, with the six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic with Shiftronic available for all, except the 2.0T R-Spec. Last year’s autoboxes had only fi ve gears with the
four cylinder and six gears with the V6.
As a four-cylinder model, the Genesis Coupe can be ordered fi ve ways: the base 2.0T or Premium with manual or automatic, and the 2.0T R-Spec available only with manual. The V6-powered Coupe comes in one fully-loaded trim level with both transmissions.
The base, six-speed 2.0T, which starts at $26,499, has a decent list of standard equipment. In addition to its new, upgraded powertrain, you get keyless entry and power windows (with auto up/down in front), along with automatic climate control, manual tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, and six-speaker AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 system with USB and aux inputs.
The stitched-seam dashboard now features electroluminescent gauges, and the revised centre stack includes a tri-gauge cluster with instant fuel economy and oil temperature, along with torque (on V6 models) or turbo boost pressure.
There are also more soft-touch surfaces, with a lower sheen for a premium look and feel.
The 2.0T Premium ($29,899/$31,699, manual/auto) adds power sunroof; leather seating, heated in front and with power adjust for the driver; touchscreen navigation, and upgraded 10-speaker Infi nity AM/FM/XM/MP3 audio system.
I didn’t drive the R-Spec, but like the
3.8 GT, it is aimed at the performance enthusiast – on a tighter budget. It doesn’t include such niceties as heated seating, sunroof and the upgraded audio system, but like its V6-powered sibling, is equipped with track-tuned suspension and limited-slip differential as mentioned above, along with 19-inch aluminum alloys, larger rotors and a set of four-piston Brembo brakes.
With only two doors and a rear-sloping roofl ine, the Genesis Coupe isn’t particularly good at people carrying, but with its variants, does serve at least two different audiences.
In the R-Spec and GT it is a well-priced, track-ready coupe that is as capable as it is fun to drive.
In the other models, it’s a stylish and sporty ride that will take you around town in comfort and civility – and with plenty of ‘go’ to match the ‘show.’

PC CANDIDATE DOESN’T RULE OUT ANOTHER RUN
STAFF PHOTO/NICK IWANYSHYN
For a fourth, but not necessarily final time, Vaughan’s voters said no to the candidacy of Tony Genco. During the first two of those efforts he ran for the Liberals, for the last two he ran for the Tories. In all cases but one, he was soundly defeated. But Thursday’s byelection against Liberal candidate Steven Del Duca will likely be deemed as one of his worst results after he fell to under 11,000 votes, losing by almost a 20-point margin, unofficially. His concession speech was pep-pered with disappointment and anger over the way in which the Liberals called the election. “The election was something the
Liberals planned,” he said afterward. “It was well orchestrated and timed in the middle of the summer. They were able to mobilize their team because they knew when it was coming. The guy (Mr. Del Duca) had his signs up before he was nominated.” Despite these losses, he refused to say that he will not run again.“I don’t look at it as saying no to Tony Genco. There are a number of factors that play into voters’ decisions. I am a conserva-tive, I am part of this team. What role I play in that regard is to be determined.”

Tories hardest hit in recent byelections: profBY ADAM [email protected]
The Liberals may have lost out on a chance to secure a majority government by winning only one of Thursday’s two byelections, but it was the Tories that suffered the biggest blow, according to political science professor Nelson Wiseman.
“The party that’s got to be the most worried about these results is the Conservatives because it’s zero for two, even though you held one seat (previously). And if you can’t win Kitchener-Waterloo, which was a longtime Conservative seat, how do you hope to ever form a gov-ernment?” said Mr. Wiseman, who teaches at the University of Toronto. “Those are the big losers.”
The Liberal victory in Vaughan came as no surprise, but he was shocked to see the New Democrats win in Kitchener-Waterloo, a riding held by the Tories for more than two decades.
Liberal candidate Steven Del Duca easily captured the Vaughan seat, which was occupied for more than a decade by influential former Liberal MPP Greg Sorbara.
Mr. Del Duca netted 16,830 votes (51.2 per cent) while the runner-up, Progressive Conservative candidate Tony Genco, picked up just 10,682 (33.4 per cent).
NDP candidate Paul Donofrio finished a distant third.
In Kitchener-Waterloo, NDP candidate Catherine Fife grabbed 18,559 votes while Tory candidate Tracey Weiler took home 14,823 and Liberal candidate Eric Davis racked up 11,204.
At a news conference this morn-ing, PC Leader Tim Hudak blamed his party’s loss in the former Tory stronghold on the huge wave of union support for the NDP, trig-gered by the Liberals’ controversial teachers wage freeze legislation.
“We were up against a tsunami
of public sector union bosses. There was a wholesale change in the dynamic,” he said, despite the fact private sector unionists were can-vassing for Mr. Genco in Vaughan.
The Progressive Conservatives’ stunning defeat was likely caused by a combination of Ms Fife’s popu-larity and a “concerted efforts by teachers and unions”, Mr. Wiseman said.
“The main focus I would put on the candidate,” he said, noting Ms Fife is a popular school board trustee with a “substantial reputa-tion in the community”.
Although the NDP are no doubt riding high right now, it’s too early to tell if a spring election will be triggered over the government’s next budget, he added.
“That will depend on the polls,” Mr. Wiseman said. “If the opposi-tion parties think that they have a leg up on the government and the government is vulnerable, I think they’ll try to bring it down. If the Liberals think they have a leg up and could actually get a majori-ty, they could engineer their own defeat and bring on an election. We just don’t know how things will unfold in terms of public opinion between now and then.”

From page 1.August 9th/12.
Below that was a re-print-ed version of the Citizen’s Aug. 9 editorial criticizing former Vaughan Liberal MPP Greg Sorbara for stepping down just 10 months after being elected when he prom-ised to serve out the entire term of office.
Since the information card does not bear the name of any other organization or individual, many people assumed The Citizen must be responsible and called the newspaper to express their concerns.
But the newspaper was not behind it.
“The Vaughan Citizen was not, in any way, involved in the production or distribu-tion of this information card,” Citizen editor Kim Champi-on said. “We do not endorse political candidates or par-ties as a matter of policy. We help our readers to make their own decisions by pub-lishing stories on the issues, the candidates’ positions and
on the facts and what others say about them. Our view on issues of importance to the community can be found on page 6 of The Citizen.”
According to the Election Finances Act, all political advertising must be autho-rized, meaning it must iden-tify who is responsible for placing the ad as well as who paid for it.
This card appears to have been sent out in violation of election rules, but a spokes-person for Elections Ontario said she is not aware of any complaints being filed.
On the other side of the card there is a picture of a family with the words: Be on the side of Vaughan families and taxpayers, do not vote Liberal.
To the right of the picture it said: On September 6th, lets (sic) send a message to the McGuinty and Sorbara-Liberals.
Below that a number of statements were printed including: We do not support Liberal quitters and we do
not support Liberal lies and inaction regarding our hos-pital.
At the bottom was a mes-sage encouraging people to get out and vote on Sept. 6 for “anyone else but definitely not them.”
The Progressive Conser-vatives, throughout the cam-paign, used excerpts from The Citizen’s editorial in a few press releases, while Tory candidate Tony Genco and his supporters often used the phrase Sorbara-Liberals when criticizing the Grits.
But the PCs have denied responsibility for the infor-mation card and say they don’t know who was behind it.
“Anything that went out from us was clearly identi-fied,” said Nick Pinto, chair-person of the local Tory cam-paign and president of the Vaughan PC riding associa-tion.
The NDP has also denied responsibility.

Shooters sit tight in thirdThe York Region Shoot-
ers and TFC Academy saved all of their offence during the waning minutes of their Canadian Soccer League First Division match, which produced a 1-1 tie at St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School field in Maple Sunday.
TFC Academy went ahead 1-0 at 83 minutes on a goal by midfielder Joshua Janniere.
Just when it appeared TFC Academy were heading for a narrow victory, the Shooters came back to tie the match on a header by Andre Rollins.
With the tie, the Shooters remain in third place with a 9-1-9-36 mark and are just one point behind SC Toronto for second place.
TFC Academy remained in fourth place, just two points behind the Shooters with a 10-4-4-34 record.
The Shooters resume league play against SC Water-loo (8-9-0-24) at St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School Sunday at 6:30 p.m.
Vaughan Rebels remain undefeated

Occupying first place in the league’s White Tier stand-ings, the Rebels are scheduled to host the Brantford Bisons at St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School in Maple Sept. 23 at noon.
Woodbridge golfer just misses championship
Dave Bunker’s quest to capture a fourth Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur golf championship fell just short as he settled for second place at the 2012 event at Point Grey Golf and Country Club in Vancouver yesterday. The Woodbridge resident fired a one-under-par 71 in Fri-day’s final round to finish the 72-hole competition at even-par 288 (74-71-72-71).
Bunker finished three strokes behind winner Kevin Carrigan of Victoria, B.C., who carded a two-under-par 70 during the final round to fin-ish at three-under 285 (67-73-75-70). Bunker captured his sixth career Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Mid-Master Division championship title. He was two strokes ahead of Craig Doell of Victoria, who finished at two-over par 290.
