It was once referred to as “The Shack,” but now a Fort Rouge community calls it a shining meeting place for their youth.

Mayor Sam Katz, Minister Kevin Chief and ward Coun. Jenny Gerbasi officially opened the Mayfair Recrea-tion Centre Wednesday near the corner of Donald Street and River Avenue.

Dawn Foltz, who lives just across the street from the new and improved cen-tre, said it’s the result of three or four years of hard work.

“The kids called it ‘The Shack’ and it was actually just a place for changing into skates, so it was kind of like a shack,” said Foltz, who has been a longtime community activist.

“There were squirrels liv-

ing in there, raccoons and bunnies underneath the floor and things were start-ing to fall apart.”

Foltz said there are sev-eral Manitoba Housing build-ings in the immediate area and many kids, all of whom will now benefit from the improved space.

Katz said he lived at 21 Mayfair Place for two years several decades ago, and is extremely pleased to see the new fully accessible facility.

“This is going to be a phenomenal opportunity to add more programming for all of the residents here, which, no doubt, will make a phenomenal asset,” he said, adding that the paved lot to the north of the facility will be resurfaced for basketball courts.

“This is an absolutely awe-some, awesome design and every time you come over (the Mid-Town) bridge, you see something and you take a second look, that’s the im-pact it has.”

The 3,600-square-foot building received $1.5 mil-lion in funding from the city and the province, divided equally, and an additional $800,000 from the city’s cap-ital fund.

Response. Katz defends Steeves, acknowledges racismMayor Sam Katz says he’s worked with embattled mayor-al candidate Gord Steeves on aboriginal initiatives — and found him considerate of “every citizen.”

“I know that Gord Steeves is a good man and cares about every citizen in our city,” said Katz following the official opening of the Mayfair Recrea-tion Centre on Wednesday.

“My understanding is that

his wife apologized for the comment; she did the right thing.... I don’t know what more she can do at this stage of the game.”

Steeves came under fire for his wife Lorrie’s Facebook com-ment from 2010 about “drunk-en native guys” panhandling.

Asked if Winnipeg is a div-ided city, Katz said he doesn’t believe this is the case. How-ever, he said there is racism in

the Manitoba capital.“I’ve been to just about

every city in Canada and I don’t think that’s at all an accurate statement. By the same token, don’t be so naive to believe that there is no discrimination and prejudice in our city,” said Katz, adding he’s dealt with ra-cism often over his decade in office.

Katz, who has quietly made aboriginal initiatives

a central part of his tenure, said, “As mayor, don’t think for a moment that I haven’t gotten emails or phone calls complaining about activities in our downtown and making comments which I found were not appropriate. It’s there, it’s there, end of story.

“The first thing we have to do is acknowledge it and then we have to enlighten and edu-cate.” BERNICE PONTANILLA/METRO

A candidate running for may-or says he would see anyone wanting to use their bicycle on a major road licensed first.

In an email sent to media on Wednesday, Michel Fillion outlined his bicycle safety platform, and it included addi-tional testing for motorists and cyclists alike.

“Sidewalks are not an op-tion,” said Fillion in his email. “Cyclists would be required to pass a cycling test before the city issues them a licence. Non-compliance would result in im-poundment and fines.”

Children under the age to be eligible for a bike licence would not be allowed to ride on major streets. He did not say what that age would be, adding he would put together a committee made up of coun-

cillors and stakeholders to de-termine that.

In addition, motorists would be required to pass a “bi-cycle awareness test ... when paying for their licences.”

Other spokes in his bicycle platform include better en-forcement of diamond-lane

rules, the expansion of bike paths and maintenance of bike routes in the winter.

All the licensing would be paid for by a fee that Fillion pegged at about $100.

Mark Cohoe of Bike Winni-peg said while he appreciated Fillion’s efforts, he disagreed

with licensing cyclists.“It’s a really expensive en-

deavour,” said Cohoe, adding most cyclists are also motorists and have already learned the rules of the road. He said the money would be better spent on bike lanes and safety cours-es for cyclists. ELISHA DACEY/METRO

Report

Opposition wants more protection for whistleblowersManitoba Opposition Leader Brian Pallister says the government should act immediately to provide more protection for whistle-blowers.

Pallister points to an external review, released this week, of the province’s whistleblower legislation.

The report said one pub-lic-sector worker reported alleged wrongdoing, but then she and her colleagues suffered reprisals from a supervisor.

The report said the prov-incial ombudsman should be given new powers to in-vestigate complaints about reprisals in the civil service. THE CANADIAN PRESS

On Empress Street

Police search for knife-wielding carjack suspectWinnipeg police are searching for a man who hit a woman during a carjacking and threatened to run over five security guards on Monday.

Police said they were called to a store parking lot at about 12:30 p.m. on Empress Street. Once there, they learned a man had escaped the store’s security guards and was brandishing a knife to keep the guards at bay, when he had hopped into a passing truck being driven by a woman, 56.

The man hit the woman, then turned the truck on the security guards, who dodged it. The woman was not seriously injured.

Police found the stolen truck at about 6 p.m. on Sargent Avenue.

Police have identified the man but have not been able to find him. A warrant has been issued for Jason Dean Bercier, 35. Metro

The Canadian Museum for Hu-man Rights gave media a sneak peek into the museum’s core galleries Wednesday, just a few weeks before the space is opened to the public.

“It’s going to be a great op-portunity ... to learn about hu-man rights and the multiple perspectives that human rights has,” said CMHR president Stu-art Murray of the 10 galleries showcased. “There’s a lot of grittiness and sort of a grind

around human rights, but not only are people going to see that, they’re going to be ex-posed to people’s stories ... stor-ies of people who’ve made a

difference.”The 10 galleries unveiled

Wednesday include an exhibit outlining what human rights are, one looking at indigenous issues, another that delves into Canada’s steps and missteps in the field of human rights, and one that looks at exactly how we stand up for our rights in Canada.

There are exhibits examin-ing the Holocaust, discussing the importance of breaking the silence on human rights viola-tions, and another that houses artifacts associated with people who’ve fought for human rights, as well as others.

As of Sept. 20, visitors will experience film, text, immer-sive technology, artifacts and art in exhibits, which, accord-ing to Murray, will be fluid and will change over time — like human rights.

Klaus Nielsen

Researcher pleads guilty in bacteria-smuggling caseThe puzzling case of the renowned Canadian infec-tious disease expert who tried to smuggle dangerous bacteria to China neared its end Wednesday as the disgraced scientist pleaded guilty to 11 charges.

Klaus Nielsen, 68, a one-time lead researcher at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, remains free on bail until his sentencing.

A statement of facts agreed to by Nielsen’s lawyers and the Crown provided details of Nielsen’s attempt to take vials of Bru-cella bacteria to China in his luggage two years ago.

But it still left one ques-tion largely unanswered: Why did Nielsen put his 32-year career and reputation as a scientist on the line?

There is no evidence that Nielsen profited from starting up a company to make and sell test kits for brucellosis, an infectious disease caused by Brucella.the canadian press

Oath to the Queen upheld by Ontario Court of AppealJamaican citizen Simone Topey, left, is seen outside the Ontario Court of Appeal with her lawyer Selwyn Pieters in Toronto on April 8. Citing the “symbolic” nature of the citizenship oath, Ontario’s top court has dismissed a constitutional challenge by three permanent residents who claim swearing allegiance to the Queen is discriminatory and unjust. Topey was one of three who argued that the provision in the Citizenship Act that requires would-be citizens to swear to be “faithful and bear true allegiance to Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors,” violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

A 33-year-old man was stabbed in the heart and remains in critical condi-tion after he accidentally bumped shoulders with another pedestrian while walking and texting in downtown Toronto, police said Wednesday.

The man was walking while sending a message on his phone just after mid-night.

He bumped the passerby, who took the contact as a

“perceived slight” and al-legedly attacked him, police said.

Const. David Hopkinson said the texting man’s at-tempt at self-defence only further offended the two suspects, causing one of them to stab him in the heart.

The victim was rushed to hospital, where he was last reported in critical but stable condition.

Hopkinson said the inci-dent near the city’s Yonge-Dundas Square seems “totally unique or random.”

“It seems like it makes

no sense.”A man was arrested

shortly after, while another is sought by police.

Mohamed Ali, 27, is charged with attempted murder and aggravated as-sault.

Police describe the second suspect as white, five-foot-eight with short dark hair, and a chin-strap beard.

Officers say he was wear-ing a black and white sweat-er and may be familiar to those in the Yonge-Dundas area.the canadian press

Polygamy charges against two men have been approved by a special prosecutor in the long-running investigation of the community of Bountiful, B.C.

Independent Special Pros-ecutor Peter Wilson announced Wednesday that sect leaders Winston Kaye Blackmore and James Mario Oler each face charges of polygamy, and that Oler also faces a charge for the alleged unlawful removal of a child from Canada.

In addition, Brandon James Blackmore and Emily Ruth Crossfield each face a charge for the unlawful removal of a child from Canada.

The RCMP has been inves-

tigating the polygamist com-munity, near Creston, B.C., over the past two decades.

Blackmore is considered

the leader of the community of 1,000 people, who are members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day

Saints, which also has commun-ities in Arizona, Texas and Utah.

Blackmore and Oler were first arrested on polygamy char-

ges in 2009, the first time Can-ada’s polygamy laws have been enforced. After their arrests, the B.C. Supreme Court initiated a Reference to determine wheth-er section 293 of the Criminal Code (the polygamy provision) was consistent with the Can-adian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The court upheld section 293 as constitutional.

The Criminal Justice Branch said the charges approved by Wilson are similar to the ones they were originally charged with in 2009. Oler’s charge of al-leged unlawful removal of chil-dren — with the intention that an act of sexual interference or invitation to sexual touching be committed outside Canada — is based on new information as a result of investigations in the U.S., it said.

Blackmore and Oler’s first appearances are anticipated to be on Oct. 9 in provincial court in Creston.Matt KieltyKa/Metro in VancouVerWith Files FroM Kristen thoMpson

Domestic violence

Lax punishment appalls Maine Gov.Maine Gov. Paul LePage has told the NFL’s commis-sioner that he is appalled by the slap on the wrist given to Ray Rice, who allegedly struck his then-fiancée. Rice was punished with a two-game suspension for a domestic violence arrest.

Lepage said that simply suspending players for domestic violence can send a message that such behav-iour is acceptable. the associated press

Questions still linger about use of untested ebola drugs on patientsDoctors treating a leading Sierra Leone physician who became sick with Ebola con-sidered giving him an experi-mental drug but feared it could trigger a dangerous immune response and did not adminis-ter it, Doctors Without Borders said Wednesday.

The revelation came the same day that another top doc-tor from Sierra Leone died of the disease, fuelling a debate about how to apportion a lim-ited supply of untested drugs and vaccines and whether they are even effective.

Ebola has killed more than 1,000 people and sickened nearly 2,000 in the current West African outbreak that has also hit Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria.

At the time the experiment-al treatment was being con-sidered for Dr. Sheik Humarr Khan, his immune system was starting to produce antibodies suggesting he might recover, Doctors Without Borders said in a statement.

Khan was due to be trans-ferred to a European hospital that would be more capable of handling side-effects that may arise with the experimental drug, it said.

In the end, the treating phys-

icians decided against using the drug. They never told Khan of its existence because they felt it would be unethical to tell him of a treatment they might not use. Shortly after their decision, however, Khan’s condition worsened, the statement said, and the company providing the medical evacuation decided not to transfer him. He died a few days later.

The drug is believed to be ZMapp, an experimental drug that has been already been given to three people.

Meanwhile, the debate over experimental treatments and vaccines still continues. Canada has promised to donate 800 to 1,000 doses of its untested Ebola vaccine to the World Health Organization and ques-tions are being asked about who will get it and how scien-tists will determine if it works. the associated press

TKM-Ebola

Company ‘evaluating options’ for Ebola drugTekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. says it’s in talks with governments and non-governmental organiza-tions in various countries about the potential use of its experimental Ebola drug in infected patients.

The Vancouver-based company says it’s “care-fully evaluating options” for using its unapproved TKM-Ebola drug, but it can’t assure an appropriate framework will be found.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has relaxed a clinical hold on testing of TKM-Ebola, potentially enabling its use in patients stricken with the virus.

Tekmira has a $140-mil-lion contract from the U.S. Defense Department to develop TKM-Ebola. the canadian press

“Trying an untested drug on patients is a very dif-ficult decision, particularly in the light of the ‘do no harm’ principle.”Statement from Doctors Without Borders

.wtf? Yes, that is a real domain suffix

Guessing a website address used to be so simple. Stick a .com or .ca at the end of a company or organization’s name and most of the time, that would do it.

But there’s a flood of new generic top-level do-mains (gTLDs) hitting the web, which could eventu-ally leave consumers strug-gling to remember which of more than 1,400 web suf-fixes to type in.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is in the process of gradually rolling

out all kinds of new web ad-dress types, including .best, .buzz, .cheap, .cool, .expert, .guru, .ninja, .sexy and .wtf.

The most popular so far has been .club, which was launched by Canadian Colin Campbell, who previously founded the companies In-ternet Direct, Tucows and Hostopia.

More than 90,000 .club URLs have been registered so far and a few were sold off for five-figure fees. Eat.club was purchased for $20,000, English.club went for $17,500, chinese.club was bought for $13,750, and toys.club for $12,500, says Campbell, who also recruited rapper 50 Cent to use the web address 50inda.club for an official fan site.

Teen pop star Demi Lovato has also purchased a .club address for her fan club. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Dot what?! The days of only .com or .ca are over, and a Canadian has launched one of the most popular alternative web suffixes so far — .club

Money is for charity

Most bids for sam sung’s business card were fakeA B.C. children’s charity is disappointed after the ma-jority of eBay bids for the last business card belong-ing to former Apple Store employee Sam Sung turned out to be fake.

On Tuesday, Sung and eBay decided to remove the majority of bids for the framed and autographed presentation of his last Apple business card, T-shirt and lanyard that he was auctioning off for the B.C. and Yukon chapters of the Children’s Wish Founda-tion.

The bidding had previ-ously reached a shocking $80,200 US. On Wednesday morning, the highest bid sat at $1,965.

The director of the charity’s B.C. and Yukon chapters said she was dis-heartened to see the drop in bids, which could have gone on to grant wishes to eight children suffering from life-threatening ill-nesses. THANDI FlETCHER/mETRo IN vANCouvER

Amazon squares off against Square with new credit-card reader and appAmazon is taking direct aim at mobile payment systems such as Square by introducing the Amazon Local Register in the U.S., a credit-card processing de-vice and mobile app designed to help small business owners accept payments through their smartphones and tablets.

The move places the largest U.S. e-commerce retailer in competition with Square and other established mobile pay-ment processing systems such as PayPal Here and Intuit’s Go-Payment.

Amazon’s technology in-cludes a card reader that at-taches to a smartphone, Kindle

or tablet. The reader processes credit or debit card payments via a secure Amazon network, the same one that processes Amazon.com purchases. The service is designed to serve on-the-go small business owners who might otherwise only ac-cept cash or cheques, including massage therapists, food truck operators and artists who sell their work at outdoor fairs.

Businesses must buy Ama-zon’s card reader for $10 US, and download the free mobile app from the Amazon app store, the Apple app store or Google Play. THE ASSoCIATED PRESS

Under the weather

Depending on where you call home, you’ve likely encountered some very hostile rainstorms and associated flooding this summer, often with scant warning. American states are dealing with very similar events, including Nebraska. On Saturday alone, the town of Kearney endured about nine centimetres of rain — triple the average amount for the entire month of August. The result can be seen here, as CCTV captures a terrifying surge of water crashing through the doors and windows to flood a dining room. (Good Samaritan Hospital/YouTube)

ISTOCK

It’s easy to go online and get a 360-degree, ground-level view of almost any street throughout the world. Soon, scientists hope people will be able to do the same with coral reefs and other underwater wonders.

U.S. government scientists are learning to use specialized fi sh-eye lenses underwater in the Florida Keys this week in hopes of applying Street View mapping to research and management plans in marine sanctuaries nationwide.

Some of the rotating and panoramic images will be available online as early as this week, including a selection on Google Maps, giving the public a window into ecosystems still diffi cult and costly to explore for long stretches of time.

About 400,000 images have been produced so far of reefs off Australia and in the Caribbean, but this is the fi rst time the technology is being used in North American waters.

The images in the U.S. will add scale and details to data that’s already been collected, and illustrate the successes and failures of coral restoration. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s time for another issue of The Beaver Exam-iner, a publication that will always be proudly in-dependent from facts. I make no money running The BeavEx, but I don’t lose any, making it the most successful newspaper in North America. Here’s the news:

Hollywood anxiously awaits Death No. 3 LOS ANGELES – Well aware that the trinity is not complete until one more celebrity dies, Holly-wood stars are refusing to leave their homes as they wait to learn who will complete the group that began with comic genius Robin Williams and legendary actress Lauren Bacall. “What’s really unnerving is it could be anyone,” actor George Clooney said from a secure bunker underneath his L.A. bungalow. “It could be something sad, but not that shocking, like Mel Brooks, or it could be a complete sur-prise, like George Clooney.”

Vancouver Aquarium ban on whale, dolphin breeding upsets whales, dolphinsVANCOUVER – A decision by the Vancouver Park Board to ban the breeding of aquatic ani-mals at the Vancouver Aquarium has been met with mixed reactions from scientists, and uni-versal condemnation from the animals in question. “Let me get this straight,” dolphin Helen said through a translator. “First you give me as much space to move as a downtown con-do dweller, and now you take away the only fun I get? Why don’t you just harpoon me now?”

Neighbourhood tidies up only when Google car visitsSAINT JOHN, N.B. – Residents of the South End

admit that though they always mean to get around to it sooner, they clean up only when they know Google will be visiting. Lo-

cals recently put on their best clothes, painted over the graffiti and picked up garbage that had been littering the sidewalks since the last time the Google Street View Car was through. “It never seems that bad, and then I hear the car coming and sud-denly all I can see is abandoned dog poop,” said resident Colin Mackin.

Increasingly desperate Edward Snowden releases NSA employees’ middle namesUNDISCLOSED LOCATION, RUSSIA – Quickly running out of rev-elations to share, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has re-leased over two dozen potentially embarrassing middle names of NSA and CIA employees, including “Alexis” and “Marion.” Snow-den said the middle names the U.S. government would prefer to keep secret go all the way back to the founding of the NSA, when its first chief Ralph Canine tried to hide his middle name, Julian. Snowden also promised “big news” in September when he re-veals how seldom NSA head Keith Alexander washed his hands after using the washroom.

Brian Regan is pure comedy gold. Untainted by sitcom suc-cess or Hollywood glory, the American standup is commit-ted to the craft of live comedy.

“I have sought (TV work) out a little bit over the years, but I’ve been very careful not to just get involved with any-thing,” Regan says. “If I did get on television, I always wanted it to be about my comedy and how I thought as a comedian. I’m just not interested in get-ting plugged into someone else’s vision.”

Sticking to his guns has paid off. Regan, 56, who grew up in Miami, Fla., started per-forming standup comedy in the early ’80s at the Comic Strip in nearby Fort Lauderdale. Now, he performs exclusively in the-atres and large venues.

Regan sold out the 8,600-

seat Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado last year and per-formed two sold-out 12,500-seat shows in Salt Lake City in February. That’s right, Utah.

Regan can do Mormon country because he works clean.

“I do still think of things that are horrific,” he laughs. “And people who know me say, ‘If your fans only knew how dark and twisted you can be, they’d be stunned.’ For now, I just choose to keep that kind of thinking for my offstage friends.”

Regan’s ability to be com-edic without being coarse, as well as his talent for making the mundane hilarious, has

earned him the respect of his colleagues. He has made 26 ap-pearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and recently appeared on Jerry Se-infeld’s Comedians in Cars Get-ting Coffee. He’s also received praise from not-so-clean com-ics, such as Patton Oswalt, Marc Maron and Norm Macdonald.

“People who work blue, if they like my stuff, that makes me feel great,” Regan says. “It’s a two-way street. I’m reading a book about Richard Pryor and

Pryor is arguably one of the best standup comedians who ever lived, if not the best, and he didn’t work clean. But he was brilliant. I don’t sit on a white horse, ‘Everybody needs to work clean.’ I think every-body should do what they want to do and I just happen to like the way I work.”

The third installment of The Expendables brings together even more ‘80s action fl ick talent than before. CONTRIBUTED

Trading � ne wine for a gunning good time

Kelsey Grammer is one of several high-profile addi-tions to the Expendables franchise for its third outing, and even he understands people might find his inclu-sion in the ’80s throwback testosterone-fest something of a head-scratcher. But, as Grammer tells us, he’s ac-tually tougher than people think. “I’m working at the gym. I’m punching people in the streets,” he jokes. “All those punch videos you’ve been seeing? That’s me.”

This is an interesting choice for you, this franchise. What was your reaction when they fi rst approached you?

Actually they didn’t ap-proach me. I had heard there was a role available in The Expendables. I didn’t know what it was, I didn’t know how it was go-ing to play out or what the requirements really were, but I knew if I pushed a little bit, maybe their im-aginations would say, “Oh. Kelsey Grammer. OK, that’s a surprise.”

I’m a lot tougher than

people think I am. If you know anything about my personal life, you’ll real-ize that. I thought I could fulfil the requirements of an action film, should that be asked.

Is that something you’ve been looking to do?Oh, I’d love to, I’d love to do it. And who knows, it may

happen, it may not happen. But being in this film was a complete joy for me.

And Bonaparte actually is a terrific character. He’s just a guy who used to be in some kind of mercenary world and stepped away and is a procurer, basically, now. He puts together teams and he’s been making some pretty good money at it.

It was really fun to play, and we kind of just hit on this sort of Hemingway, broad-shouldered kind of guy who is in the back-ground now a little bit. But my hope is now if we do another one, Bonaparte gets to don the military motley. So to speak.

That Hemingway-esque, life-on-the-road type seems fun.Yeah, who lives big, has lived a big life — and believes in things that some of us believe in still about courage and about showing up and about taking a stand, being

in the fight. I’m one of those guys. A man’s man. How does the breakdown of divisions between the fi lm and TV worlds look from the perspective of someone who’s been so successful on the TV side? In England, you can go from television to film to stage seamlessly. Nobody has an issue. In America, yeah, we tend to kind of put people in these pock-ets. It was always my dream that I would break the bonds of Frasier at some point and have a chance to play some other roles. I think Boss helped that, and people went, “Oh wow, I had no idea.”

Because they never do. So you have to show them. I did another comedy in England in the spring called Break-ing the Bank that’s about a British guy, and of course everybody there said, “I had no idea he was British!” Well, I’m not. I’m an actor.

So that’s where we are, we’re still trying to convince people that actors are actors, and we’ll be OK.

It’s hard to love a character like Abner, the flawed protagonist in writer/director Emmanuel Shirinian’s feature debut It Was You Charlie.

The Telefilm-funded pic-ture stars Michael D. Cohen as the downtrodden Abner, a night-shift doorman who once had a rather beautiful life as a professor and art-ist but who now wallows in misery following an accident in which a girl was killed. Spiralling into depression, self-pity and endless suicidal thoughts, Abner is a miser-able creature and yet, under Shirinian’s sure hand, we end up caring very deeply about

his strange, surreal plight and want nothing more than to see him climb out of his self-made quagmire.

“He wasn’t based on any-body, really — he’s an out-sider,” the award-winning short filmmaker Shirinian says of his magnetic main character.

“He’s the black sheep of the story and there was some-thing appealing to me about a guy that had it all, and yet lost everything when something destructive happened, leaving him unable to surface. There was something heartbreaking about that. People ask me what kind of film this is and I say it’s both an unrequited love story and an existential psychologic-al thriller.”

It Was You Charlie sees Shi-rinian adapting his craft for a larger canvas, with a denser narrative and obviously larger stakes, and commercial expect-ations figuring into his art for the first time. Still, the process remained the same.

“I made a bunch of short films, true,” notes the director.

“But this was no differ-ent structurally, save for the amount of time we had. Your

role as a director, I’ve found, is to be a salesman and a negoti-ator. It’s a battle to find that bal-ance but we were lucky in that I was free to make this movie on my own terms. Everything fell

into place. This wasn’t about a paycheque for myself and my cast and crew, rather it was about passion and just doing whatever we could do to make my vision a reality.”

The beauty of the film is that Abner seems to drift in an uncanny environment, one that is like our own yet steeped in dream. With the benefit of Luc Montpellier’s (Take This

Waltz, Away From Her) gor-geous cinematography, we float with Abner in this uncom-fortable, sometimes hostile, often beautiful ghost world, an honest attempt by its creator to sculpt a film that functions as an impression, rather than a clearly defined narrative movie.

“It’s that between what is real and what is not that ap-peals to me. We didn’t want clear defined edges about the timeline, about what is present and what is flashback. It’s medi-tative almost and even a bit am-biguous. I like that about the film, very much.”

It Was You Charlie. Short filmmaker’s feature-length debut is a meditative tale of unrequited love and psychological misery

Simmons to immigrants:‘Learn goddamn English’

Gene Simmons is going the tough love route when it comes to immigrants who’ve just made it to the U.S. “I’m actually saying the thing that needs to be said because the politically correct climate is bulls---,” Simmons tells Huff-Post Live. “You don’t want to upset anybody by saying,

‘Learn to speak

goddamn English.’ So, as an immigrant, I’m telling you: Learn to speak goddamn English. It is the key that will unlock the keys to the king-dom. If you make the effort, then all the possibilities of this culture will open up for you and give you all the re-wards that I’ve gotten.” Even an arena football team?

Blake dreams of a Lively litter, Ryan dreams of hot fudge

Blake Lively is so hot on the idea of having kids, she’s even envious of the birthing habits of other mammals.

“I’ve got to get started.

If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would,” she tells Marie Claire.

Sounds messy, and not at all like something you’d expect her Paltrow-ish lifestyle website, Preserve, to recommend. But hey, get your litter on, Blake.

As for husband Ryan Reynolds? His opinion on the matter, according to this totally-taken-out-of-context quote from the same interview?

“Honestly, all he wants to eat is hot fudge sun-daes,” she says.

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new shirt, and it’s feeling good

If it feels good, wear it. You’ve heard that before, but not like this.

These days, it’s as much about how clothes feel when you touch them, as it is how you look when you wear them. When you’re searching for new style finds for chillier temper-atures, prioritizing fabrics as well as intriguing pat-terns will land you some enviable finds.

Here are a few point-ers to keep in mind while seeking out those essential pieces for next season:

If this is the fall you buy a new suit, then go for a dark grey flannel that has some weight to it. If you want to take a different dir-ection, a wool sports jacket in a subtle check is a great alternative. By subtle, we’re

talking colour; the check it-self can be large.

Where coats are con-cerned, you can aim for a classic wool topcoat in a heritage fabric or, since this is a year of mixing the dressed with the casual, a

down-filled coat or three-quarter outdoors-looking jacket will work.

Look for something a lit-tle less puffy than the one you’ve been kicking around in the last couple of years. A duffle coat is a great idea as well.

The Brits call them roll necks, we call them turtle-necks and yes, turtleneck sweaters are sticking their heads out again. A fine wool turtleneck can replace shirt and tie under a tailored suit with black under black looking great for a big night out.

Fisherman knit and cable knit sweaters are go-ing to be worth the finan-

A breakdown for the boys. Not sure where to begin your fall wardrobe hunt? Start with your sense of touch.

A man’s must-haves

Designer Christopher Bates took time away from Toronto Men’s Fashion Week to give use his list of essential’s every man should own:

1A casual sports jacket. “It’s the most dynamic

piece a man can own. It can be dressed up or down and worn day or night.”

2A tailored white dress shirt. “This is the linchpin

of a man’s wardrobe. You should actually have at least three to account for time to dry clean it if you get lipstick on your collar…”

3A grey suit. “When you’re building your

wardrobe, this is the fi rst suit you should buy. Grey fl atters most complexions and you can spice it up with a myriad of shirt and acces-sory options.”

4Black leather bomber. “Invest in a high-quality

leather bomber and it will last you for ages and get better with time. It’s an edgy piece that says you mean business.”

5Tapered blue jeans. “The key here is fi t. Boot cut

or straight leg are simply unfl attering. A tapered leg makes you look taller, trim-mer and more stylish. Try dressing them up with a cas-ual sports jacket or pressed white dress shirt.”

Toronto is currently hosting its fi rst-ever Men’s Fashion Week and in keeping up with the theme of men’s fashion and style, Trends Report will look at fi ve style mistakes men commonly make. Go online to read more and take the poll to let me know which men’s style mistake you think is the most cringeworthy.

A sports jacket in a subtle check is a great wardrobe addition. ISTOCK

cial outlay. And while we’re on

sweaters, a good alternative to something heavy and textured is the new crop of geometrics including clas-sic argyles in bold colours.

Get yourself a band-collared shirt, which is, es-sentially, a shirt without a collar. It will be perfect under a suit. There are bold coloured, patterned scarves to be had and you may have noticed that gold chains are looking kind of good again; one thin chain, nothing bling.

Fashion by the foot

• Two-buckled, monk strap shoes are all set for their moment this fall, and there are some terrifi c boots, particularly hybrid hiking boots with a space-age look to them. The one key thing to look for is a thicker sole, crepe if you see it. For socks, think solid colours not stripes, but look for textures and patterns like herringbone and paisley.

OK, it’s not quite Robocop, but Jr. will be able to roll around your apartment, house or office, constantly scanning to make sure all is well and letting you know as soon as it thinks it isn’t.

Jr. will come with audio sensors and integrated cam-

eras plus almost 360-degree vision and will be able to con-nect to the home network or to other devices using Blue-tooth.

Rather than rely on some-one to guide it via a remote control, Jr. will learn to adapt to its surroundings and de-

velop a map so it can navi-gate around the home with-out crashing into walls or furniture.

For the moment, Roam-botics will be focusing on de-veloping Jr.’s home security skills, but the long-term goal is to build on the robot’s fea-

tures and uses over time so that it will become as much a part of the home as the wash-ing machine or television.

“Our goal is to make a personal robot that is an in-tegrated part of your house-hold,” says Roambotics CEO and co-founder Scott Menor.

“We want Jr. to look and feel robust — like an appliance that belongs in your home — and to be intuitive and useful.”AFP

Could rolling robo-guard be as lovable as Rover?

rejoice, for august is bacon MonthCrispy treat. Manitobans love their bacon, and for good reason.

Bacon lovers rejoice (and really, who isn’t a bacon lover?) There are still two weeks to celebrate the most beloved food product known to mankind—August is Bacon Month in Manitoba!

Around these parts, we come by our love of bacon honestly. Winnipeg is home to the largest bacon processing facility in Canada. The Maple Leaf Foods plant on Lagimodière produces more than 25 million kilograms of bacon each year. Recently, bacon has moved from the breakfast plate into more unexpected places such as an ice-cream sundae or as a garnish for the Canada’s favourite cocktail—the Caesar.

No matter how you use it, start with really great bacon. To kick it up, simply follow Talia Syrie’s instructions. The powerhouse behind Winnipeg’s beloved The Tallest Poppy restaurant (soon to reopen on Sherbrook Avenue) adds a

few ingredients to create her signature Poppy Bacon.

Poppy Bacon

1 pound thick cut bacon (visit your butcher shop)

½ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons freshly-ground black pepper

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay out bacon strips. Sprinkle liberally with brown sugar. Dust with black pepper. Bake in a 350F oven for 15-20 minutes. Watch it closely (it can overcook quickly). Remove from oven, let cool. Enjoy! PS: Nothing goes better with Poppy Bacon than garden tomatoes. Get some great bread and toast up a treat.

Wrapping up flavours of the Caribbean

This recipe serves four to six. Chris De La rosa of ChrisDeLarosa.Com

Cookbook of the Week

Visit the islands from your kitchenChris De La Rosa first released The Vibrant Carib-bean Pot as an e-book and this printed version contains 40 more recipes for 100 dishes that span a range of islands.

Aside from demystifying Caribbean cook-ing through informative sections that detail common herbs and ingredients, and much more,

The Vibrant Caribbean Pot is full of De La Rosa’s personal anecdotes and

memories of growing up in Trinidad and Tobago.Among the dishes are Ultimate Curry Chicken, Stewed Pumpkin with Shrimp, Cassava Pone, and more. Metro

Ingredients

• 3 lbs boneless chicken breast• Juice of 1 lemon• 1 1/2 cups jerk marinade• 1 tbsp vegetable oil• 1 1/2 each cups carrots, juli-enned; lettuce; firm mango, julienned; pineapple chunks; cucumber ribbons (use a potato peeler)• 8-10 (10 inch) flour tortillasGarlicky Spread• 2 (8oz) containers plain Greek yogurt• 1 cucumber; peeled, seeded and diced• 1 tbsp olive oil• Juice of 1/2 lemon• Salt and black pepper to taste• 1 tbsp dill, chopped• 3 cloves of garlic• Few drops of honey (optional)

Pack a picnic. Jerk Chicken Wraps contain classic island flavours like mango, pineapple and jerk marinade

“You’ll be astonished at how juicy the jerk chicken is. And with the tropical fruit flavours, your taste buds will go into overdrive,” writes Chris De La Rosa in his book The Vibrant Caribbean Pot Vol. 2. “You can make these ahead of time, cov-er with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.” 1. Garlicky Spread: In a food processor or blender, combine the yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper,

dill, garlic and honey (if using). Process until well combined then transfer to a separate dish, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour for best flavour.

2. Clean chicken pieces with the lemon juice and cool water, drain and place in a bowl. Cov-er in jerk marinade and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour.

3. In the meantime, move your oven rack so it’s about 6 to 8 inches away from the main heat source and set your oven to the broil setting. Line a bak-ing pan with tin foil and brush it with oil or use cooking spray. Place the chicken on the lined

pan, cover with any remaining marinade and broil for 10 min-utes. Remove from the oven, flip over and broil for another 8 minutes. If using thick chicken breast, broil an additional 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.

4. Blanch the carrots by bring-ing to a boil about 3 cups of water and tossing them in for 25 seconds. Immediately, trans-fer to a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Shred the lettuce.

5. When chicken is cool, slice into 1/4 inch strips and if you have any drippings in the bak-

ing pan, pour over the sliced chicken and give it a good mix.

6. Take a flour tortilla and spread about a teaspoon of the Garlicky Spread across a 1-inch strip the length of the tortilla. Across one end, place a bit of chicken, carrots, mango, pine-apple, lettuce and cucumber ribbons, and roll tightly, tuck-ing everything in as you do so. Slice in the middle so you have two pieces of Jerk Chick-en Wrap. Hold together with toothpicks. recipe courtesy the Vibrant carib-bean pot 100 traditional and Fu-sion recipes Vol 2 by chris de la rosa (caribbeanpot.coM)

Reliever Sergio Santos has yet to allow a run in seven appearances since being assigned to triple-A Buff alo. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

Santos waiting for call back up to bigsWhen the Toronto Blue Jays sent Sergio Santos to the min-or leagues, general manager Alex Anthopoulos said he wanted the reliever to pitch some innings and “get back on track.”

Santos is definitely back on track. In 6-2/3 innings over seven appearances since be-

ing assigned to triple-A Buf-falo, the right-hander has given up just one hit and no runs.

“I feel like I’m in a good place,” Santos said Tuesday night after recording two outs to pick up a save. “I feel a lot better attacking the zone with my fastball, and the command of my fastball has been a little bit better. I’m not kind of missing over the plate, I feel like I’m getting thirds, whether it’s the inner or outer half.”

Satisfied with his perform-ance with the Bisons, Santos

has been left to wonder why the Blue Jays haven’t called him back up to the majors or given him any indication on when they might.

“I haven’t had any com-munication with them, which has been a little frustrating at times because I feel like I’ve ironed some of the things

out that I needed to iron out and I’m just waiting for that opportunity to go back out there and hopefully do what I’m doing here,” Santos said.

In Santos’ place, the Blue Jays have blue-chip prospect Aaron Sanchez, who is one of five right-handers in the bullpen along with closer Casey Janssen, Chad Jenkins, Todd Redmond and Dustin McGowan.

Santos has a 7.78 earned-run average in 24 appear-ances for the Blue Jays this season after putting up a 1.75 ERA in 2013. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Go to metronews.ca for coverage of Wed-nesday’s game in Seattle.

Backed by a loud home crowd, France pushed, shoved and bullied its way back into its semifinal with Canada at the women’s rugby World Cup.

Down a player and on the defensive, Canada managed to slow the host team down just enough, and when the final whistle sounded the Canadians were headed to their first-ever World Cup final.

Magali Harvey scored the game-winning try and Can-ada escaped with a tense 18-16 win over France on Wed-

nesday.The French used their

powerful forwards to score two late tries after Har-vey gave her team an 18-6 lead. But France’s Sandrine Agricole missed both conver-sions, sealing her team’s fate.

“It happens in every play-off. The last five or 10 min-utes are always painful,” Canada coach Francois Ratier said.

“We almost killed the game in the first 20 min-utes of the second half. We couldn’t score that third try that would have been the end of the French hopes.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ivan Hlinka tournament

Canada romps over Slovakia With first place in Group B of the Ivan Hlinka Memor-ial Cup sealed, Canada’s under-18 men’s hockey team didn’t let up in rout-ing host Slovakia 5-1 on Wednesday.

Canada got goals from Ethan Bear, Lawson Crouse, Mitchell Marner, Travis Konecny and Tyler Soy but most importantly stayed healthy going into Friday’s semifinal show-down with the United States.

“It’s a tough game to play knowing that you’ve already clinched first place, but I think we accepted the challenge and kept things very simple in our game plan,”coach Jody Hull said. “The biggest was to stay with our team structure and to get through the game without any injur-ies.” THE CANADIAN PRESS
